To Mr. Ken Lay,
I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees.

While the supreme court has clearly adopted the Committee Notes as part of the official sentencing guidelines,[1] "no such imprimatur has been accorded the Commission's Comments." Cuthbert v. State, 459 So.2d 1098 at 1100, n. 2 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984). Further, the Second District, in State v. Viamari, 462 So.2d 1154, 1155, n. 1 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984), stated that "[b]ecause the supreme court does not adopt or approve the comments, we feel that said comments are merely `helpful hints' to attorneys and are not binding." Indeed, the "Comments" have apparently never been printed in either the supreme court opinions adopting the amendments to the guidelines since 1983, nor in the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, but have appeared only in the original 1983 Sentencing Guidelines Manual.
Defendant's trial attorney, Mr. Norton, objected to the use of the revised scoresheet at the sentencing hearing and argued (1) that the recalculation according to the Commission's memorandum resulted in an ex post facto application of the amended rules and (2) that defendant's plea of guilty was based specifically upon Mr. Norton's reliance on the "Comment" appearing in the manual. We decline to address the defendant's ex post facto argument regarding the Commission's change in the unofficial Comment. We do feel, however, that the calculation of prior misdemeanor convictions as same-category offenses is improper, regardless of the unofficial status of the Comment.
There are several factors which we consider in reaching this conclusion. First is the fact that the sentencing guidelines themselves apply only to felonies. Section 921.001(4)(a), Florida Statutes. Indeed, the sentencing guidelines scoresheets for each of the nine offense categories enumerated in Rule 3.701(c), Fla.R.Crim.P., allow for the calculation of felonies only. Misdemeanors cannot be scored as primary offenses at conviction. Rule 3.701(c) breaks the offenses to which the guidelines apply into nine categories. The language of the rule in describing Category 9 as "[a]ll other felony offenses" could be read to imply that the preceding 8 categories encompass only felonies. Further, the supreme court has recently approved the adoption of the original Comment to Rule 3.701(d)(5) as an official rule. The Florida Bar: Amendment to Rules of Criminal Procedure (3.701, 3.988 Sentencing Guidelines), 468 So.2

I'm uncomfortable with the comparison to ragequitting. However, a few points
resonated quite strongly with me.
_we should have been outraged. I am gutted that I did not contribute to his
defense in any way, either financially or by writing about it here. I blindly
assumed he would prevail, as powerful activists on the side of fairness,
openness, and freedom are fortunate enough to often do in our country. I was
wrong._
I too was wrong about this. While I don't know how much my support would have
mattered, I didn't do much to support him. I can and will offer support to
others.
_The idea that Aaron killing himself was a viable strategy, more than going
on to prevail in this matter and so many more in his lifetime, makes me
incredibly angry._
My thoughts on this are still developing and I can't articulate anything finer
than what Jeff wrote.

Depression is a monster, and it is more common than we think in the startup
pressure-cooker. And nobody talks about it because you have to put up a facade
of invincibility to woo investors, employees, and the press.
I had one startup friend confide that he had sought professional help for the
stress he was under, and I thought he was very wise for doing so. Why, when I
was heading into a dark depression while building a previous startup did I not
seek help?
We need to support each other and destigmatize seeking help.

Here's a book written specifically for the mental health issues faced by
activists: <http://www.microcosmdistribution.com/catalog/books/3977/>
Atwood's suggestion that anybody who "chooses the path of the activist" should
be prepared to face the consequences does not even _begin_ to address the
challenges of being so engaged in such a thankless fight for so long, and then
having to bear the weight of these insane charges with almost no publicity for
your cause or public support.
Not to mention the weight of a wide swath of people not even understanding the
problem Aaron was trying to solve in the first place.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence increases with age. The minority of patients are cured by current therapy and the majority relapse within 5 years despite continuous treatment. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have the capacity for indefinite self-renewal, may be essential for tumor initiation and relapse. New targets are needed to efficiently inhibit CSC activity. Most recently, we identified the immune inhibitory receptors, human leukocyte immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor B

The increasing prevalence of both obesity and depression is becoming a significant health concern throughout the world. Evidence suggests a positive and bidirectional association between obesity and depression. It is now well established that central serotonergic system is involved in the elicitation of satiety signal and elevation of mood. Drugs that increase serotonin neurotransmission are commonly recommended for the treatment of depression. But many patients are not benefitted by these drugs, while remission rate is also not satisfactory. Serotonin based antiobesity drugs have

Mean LOS (Standard deviation (SD)) was cross tabulated for patients who were admitted from home and discharged to home or nursing home. Case mix differences were identified between these two patient groups: significantly more females were discharged to nursing homes; patients discharged to nursing homes were older, more likely to be public patients with medical card over 70 years of age, and have a higher CCI. These case mix differences were adjusted for in a negative binomial regression model of the post-operative LOS (count variable regression). Ordinary least square (OLS) regression provided a poorer fit to the data.
Predictions from the specified model were used to obtain a set of adjusted LOS predictions, and hence calculate the individual difference between the observed and predicted LOS. A measure of additional LOS was then constructed for individuals with observed stay longer than the predicted stay. Patients with shorter observed stay than the predicted stay were assigned a zero value. Excess LOS was calculated as the stay beyond the predicted stay. The relation between the county specific mean excess stay and the rate of nursing homes per 100,000 people aged over 65 years were explored graphically and in a linear model. A negative parameter indicates an inverse relationship between excess stay and nursing home capacity.

National episode rates by sex and age {#Sec10}
-------------------------------------
During the years 2014 to 2018 inclusive, emergency abdominal surgery was performed in 4951 episodes for patients aged 65 years or older. The total number of episodes increased slightly each year, although the annual episode rate per 100,000 population remained within the range 148 to 162 per 100,000 over the study period. Table [1](#Tab1){ref-type="table"} summarises the patient characteristics by sex. There were more female than male patients (*p* = 0.02). Males patients were slightly younger than females (75.6 vs 76.5; *p* \< 0.01), the male average Charlson score was higher (7.6 vs 5.8, *p* \> 0.01), and more males were admitted with a cancer diagnosis

The present process can employ any solution of picric acid in a solvent that is known in the art for reacting with iron to produce ferrous picrate.
Preferably, however, a solution that is approximately three percent picric acid (i.e., three grams of picric acid per one hundred milliliters of solvent) is produced by dissolving picric acid in a solvent. Acceptable solvents are an aromatic solvent such as benzene, toluene, or xylene or a high aromatic petroleum fraction such as Solvent 100, although all other aromatic solvents and high aromatic petroleum fractions disclosed in the art to be used for a similar purpose are also acceptable and will hereinafter simply be termed aromatic solvents and high aromatic petroleum fractions used in the art. A practical percentage which can be achieved within a reasonable time is 2.8 percent. The more picric acid which is dissolved, the better. It is, however, extremely difficult to dissolve significantly more than three percent. The percentage of picric acid which has been dissolved is determined analytically, preferably by titration.
After having combined the picric acid with the solvent, water is removed from the solution using any technique that is well known in the art. Preferably, though, settling is allowed to occur so that the water is vertically separate from the solution of picric acid in solvent. Then the top layer can be removed by decantation or siphoning, or the bottom layer can be removed by draining. One of the various alternate methods for removal is centrifugal separation; another is azeotropic distillation.
The solution resulting from this preferred mixture is termed a pre-mix (as also, for the purposes of this patent application, is any solution of picric acid in a solvent, after such solution has been dewatered, that is prepared in accordance with the art of preparing ferrous picrate; such solution before dewatering is termed a precursor to the pre-mix solution) and has subsequently added to it an aliphatic alcohol. A non-exclusive list of acceptable aliphatic alcohols includes ethanol, isopropanol, and butanol. Butanol is preferred. It is preferable to add the aliphatic alcohol to the pre-mix rather than adding the pre-mix to the aliphatic alcohol in order to prevent the precipitation of some of the dissolved picric acid. Preferably, 25 percent butanol is combined with 75 percent pre-mix on a volume basis.
To the resultant solution some water, preferably 0.1 to 0

Introduction
============
In the recent years, deformations of $\mathbb{R}^3$ for which the algebra of coordinates forms a $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ Lie algebra have received some interest. This was in particular related either to developments in $3$-d gravity, in particular viewing $\mathbb{R}^3$ as the dual algebra of the relativity group [@ritals1; @ritals2], or to constructions of analytic formulas for the star-products [@fedele-vitale] defining these deformations as well as investigations of their structural properties [@lagraa; @selene; @KV-15; @q-grav] (see also [@galuccio; @fedele]). Field theories built on these noncommutative (quantum) spaces have been shown to have a perturbative quantum behaviour different from the one of field theories built on Moyal spaces, at least regarding renormalizability as well as UV/IR mixing [@vitwal; @vit-kust; @wal-16]. For earlier works on noncommutative field theories (NCFT) on Moyal spaces, see e.g [@Grosse:2003aj-pc; @Blaschke:2009c] and references therein.\
The purpose of this paper is to select salient features developed in our recent works [@jpw-16; @tp-jcw17] on quantum spaces with $\frak{su}(2)$ noncommutativity, hereafter denoted generically by $\mathbb{R}^3_\theta$ (see below). It appears that these latter can be modelled conveniently by exploiting a family of $SO(3)$-equivariant differential $^*$-representations as we will show in a while. It turns out that the use of differential representations [@polydiff-alg; @VK; @KV-15] may prove useful in the construction of star-products whenever the noncommutativity is of a Lie algebra type such as the case considered here. Consistency of the construction definitely requires that one works with $^*$-representations. Note that a similar construction can also be applied to the kappa-Minkowski spaces which are related to (the universal enveloping algebra of) a solvable Lie algebra. For constructions of star-products within kappa-Minkowski spaces, see e.g [@cosmogol4].\
The characterization of the related quantization maps defining the quantum spaces $\mathbb{R}^3_\theta$ can be achieved from a natural combination of the polar decomposition

In 1992, I was "Miss Denmark", where I was tipped to win the Miss World crown, came in the top 10 finals and a very bitter grated history, as also my past aroused the interest of the press. That same year, a journalist from the daily press suggested that I wrote a book because he thought I had experienced more than 80 years. It did not happen until I was threatened in 2008 and subject to the power of violence from our community. Their staff was even threatening when he heard that I had begun to write a book. But this was my only hope of being heard and use the pain constructively. The pain would indeed be constructive if I could make a difference for others and I could shout righteousness name up.
In connection with the publication of my book, I should also find a name for my desired website where the book among others being presented. One day when I was watching Animal Planet, there was a program for a Catwhisper and composed a book called; All cats have Asperger's syndrome, it was like a revelation to me that I spoke to were struggling, with insider insights and theoretical professional education behind it was to be Autismwhisper. After searching the web Inland and expatriate, I could see that it was not a name that appeared anywhere and therefore web addresses are not taken.
Hence came the website named Autismwhisper for I- we whisper with insider voice of an autistic world. I was alone in my Autismwhisper universe until I met my very best autistic girlfriends; Stinne & Pernille. We are a trinity. We go together like we were dealt, by the same cell. We see each other with each other's eyes. We speak the same language, the same frequency, understand the same way and have the same thinking style. Besides that we have the autistic development profile in common with the same brain style, we have the same ethos and humanist attitudes that unite us together.
It is my immense pleasure that we whisper together and we are united here too. It is not inconceivable that our children will one day make our company here and you will benefit from their insight and also comes other. We are also joined by some strong, competent and authentic conspecifics and Neuro-Typical people who we will refer to. We also provide other useful links that do not necessarily have to be authentic, they can also be useful. This will only be some we even trust. But

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
Case: 16-40383 Document: 00514123903 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/21/2017
No. 16-40383
States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009); Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 49-51
(2007); United States v. Neal, 578 F.3d 270, 272 (5th Cir. 2009); United States
v. Peltier, 505 F.3d 389, 391-92 (5th Cir. 2007).
Salazar’s assertion that his sentence is procedurally unreasonable
because the district court misapprehended his objection to the U.S.S.G.
§ 2K2.1(b)(4)(A) enhancement is disingenuous, as he never asked the district
court to vary from the calculated guidelines range, and the record does not
show that the district court erroneously believed it could not depart
downwardly. See United States v. Hernandez, 457 F.3d 416, 424 & n.5 (5th
Cir. 2006). Further, the district court considered all of the evidence and
arguments before it and had a reasoned basis for exercising its decisionmaking
authority. See Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356 (2007); United States
v. Diaz Sanchez, 714 F.3d 289, 293-95 (5th Cir. 2013). Salazar fails to show
that his sentence was substantively unreasonable as he has not rebutted the
presumption we accord his within-guidelines sentence. See United States v.
Mondragon-Santiago, 564 F.3d 357, 360 (5th Cir. 2009). He, therefore, fails to
show plain error with respect to the procedural or substantive reasonableness
of his sentence. See Puckett, 536 U.S. at 135.
We review for plain error Salazar’s arguments that § 922(g)(5)(A)
violates the Second Amendment and the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process
Clause with respect to his equal protection rights,

This is mostly a hobby business that I want to run lean without much plan for

uses.

A hobby business is not a business, it's a hobby and hobbies cost money.
If you plan on this being a business you have to figure out first how much
turnover you have to make to make a go of it, and if $13 / month for a bank is
a make-or-break decision then I would suggest you look long and hard at
whether or not this is a feasible endeavor.
For sure it is possible that you'll be doing this expense out-of-pocket for a
while, but then you just put all these expenses against your future revenues.
A typical small business, including all overhead, such as administration, tax
filings, equipment and so on will cost you at least $200 / month, so if your
projected profits when this thing is up and running are lower than that you
really should reconsider your plans.
This is not meant to demoralize you, I just think that if you doubt about
spending $13/month that you have other issues than choosing the right bank.
I chose mine for reliability, easy access to international banking, the fact
that my balance is insured to a serious amount and so on, the 'costs per
transaction' and 'monthly fees' were the least of the considerations.
The recent crisis has born out the wisdom of that decision, by going with a
large but cooperative bank they were hit very little by the affairs that
caused their main competitor to now be mostly state property.

As with most things in life bank fees like this are more often then not are
negotiable. Make an appointment with the branch manager or business specialist
at your BoA branch and voice your concerns about fees like these, and how they
would make it difficult for you to continue banking with them.
For anyone thinking of opening a separate account for business the first place
to start would be the bank you use for your checking/savings account. Not only
do you have an established relationship (if only in paper form) but the will
work harder to please you if there's a chance they'd lose your non-business

We used GW4869, a cell-permeable, selective inhibitor for neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) (obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Inc). Tick cells showed no cytotoxicity with 1 μM of GW4869 inhibitor treatment and hence we considered this dose in both experiments. DMSO was used as a vehicle control. A similar volume of DMSO that is equal to 1 μM GW4869 was used in our experiments. Tick cells were plated and incubated overnight and then treated with 1 μM GW4869 inhibitor for 4 h, followed by infection with LGTV for 72 h p.i. Before infection, we did not wash cells to remove the inhibitor.
Sphingomyelinase and SM Quantification Assays
---------------------------------------------
We used colorimetric sphingomyelinase or SM quantification assay kits from Sigma-Aldrich (USA) and followed the manufacturer\'s instructions. Sphingomyelinase assay was performed as described in our recent study (Zhou et al., [@B70]). Briefly, we plated 5 × 10^5^ tick cells, and after overnight incubation, cells were infected with LGTV (MOI 1) for either 24 or 72 h (p.i.) for both assays. Cell lysates were resuspended in 1 × PBS and processed for sphingomyelinase activity or SM lipid levels, immediately. For each time point and reaction well, 50 μl of samples (uninfected or LGTV-infected) was used as six replicates. Zero blank sphingomyelinase/SM standards were considered as background values, respectively, in each assay. Samples from sphingomyelinase or SM assays were measured at 655 or 570 nm absorbance, respectively. Using the standard values, curves were plotted and the amount of enzyme or lipid present in the samples was determined from the standard curve.
Statistics
----------
Statistical differences observed in data sets were analyzed using GraphPad Prism6 software and Microsoft Excel. The non-paired, two-tailed Student\'s *t*-test was performed (for data to compare two means) for the entire analysis. Each experiment was performed for three independent times and 5--10 replicates were considered in each experiment. Error bars represent mean (±SD) values, and *P*-values of \< 0.05 were considered significant in all analyses.

Q:
"Raw value for enum case is not unique" for Swift enum with Float raw values
According to The Swift Programming Language, I should be able to create a Swift enum with raw values of "strings, characters, or any of the integer or floating-point number types". But when I try:
enum BatteryVoltage: Float {
case v3v7 = 3.7
case v5v0 = 5.0
case v7v4 = 7.4
case v11v1 = 11.1
case v12v0 = 12.0
}
... I get a compilation error:
Raw value for enum case is not unique
on the v7v4 line. It compiles fine with that one commented out. But ah, it looks unique to me. If I make the value 7.41, or 7.3 or something else it compiles fine. What's going on? Swift bug?
A:
It definitely says you can, but don't use floating-point values (and especially Float) where you're going to need to compare equality -- the precision just isn't guaranteed to be good enough. And always use Double unless you absolutely need to use a Float for compatibility reasons.
In this case, it seems like it's having trouble because (a) the third case is 2x the first case, and (b) some other factor I don't know. Using 3.3/6.6, 3.4/6.8, and 3.6/7.2 also gave me the issue, but 3.5/7.0 did not. However, I could get it to show up by changing the last case to 22.2 (2x 11.1).
Here's a workaround — use a typical Int-based enumeration, and provide a doubleValue property:
enum BatteryVoltage: Int {
case v3v7
case v5v0
case v7v4
case v11v1
case v12v0
var doubleValue: Double {
switch self {
case .v3v7: return 3.7
case .v5v0: return 5.0
case .v7v4: return 7.4
case .v11v1: return 11.1
case .v12v0

In the case of the known urine collection equipment, empyting of the collection pouch was only possible by severing the connection between the catheter tube and the pouch. During this procedure, the exposed end of the catheter and the inside of the pouch were freely accessible to bacteria and the like. Another problem common to the known collection pouches was a determination of the quantity of urine flow. Typically, these known devices require the use of a urinometer with which it was possible to determine the flow of urine as a function of time. Also, in the case of these known devices, it was not possible to determine at first glance whether urine was flowing or not. Further, it was not possible to determine quickly how great the quantity of flowing urine was since the urine from the inflow tube moved down on the wall of the urine pouch. Connecting a urinometer into the fluid path was time consuming and tedious, and in turn, meant severance of the possibly sterile path between catheter and urine collection pouch.
The space requirement of the known systems was considerable since the urinometer tupically has a height of approximately 30 centimeters and requires a special suspending mechanism that makes the entire arrangement bulky and costly. Decontamination of such a large device is expensive.
Besides these purely technical disadvantages, the known systems additionally have the disadvantage that nursing personnel, and also the patient, can become infected with germs. Experience in the case of patient infection shows that, with the known drainage systems, about eighty percent of all patients become infected after two days on the system. This infection makes additional treatments necessary. It would naturally be advantageous to avoid these treatments.
Described in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 24 38 153, published Feb. 20, 1975, is an arrangement that consists of a rigid headpiece and an adjoining, firmly attached, flexible pouch part. Here, the rigid headpiece consists of a rigid device, preferably made of a duroplastic, equipped with a suspension means. A chamber constituting the measuring part is formed in this headpiece. Joined to the chamber is a connecting line to the pouch part. This connecting line must be manually manipulated for connection. Moreover, joined to the flexible pouch part is an emptying contrivance, and provided in the headpiece itself is an air opening equipped with a filter. This filter is in communication with the inside of the flexible pouch part through a second connecting line. This known device is extraordinarily bulky and does not represent a urine collection and measurement system which is closed to

1960s
After Bert Bell's death in October , the 33-year-old Rozelle was the surprise choice for his replacement as NFL commissioner. According to Howard Cosell in his book I Never Played the Game, the owners took 23 ballots before settling on Rozelle as NFL Commissioner at a January 26, 1960 meeting.
When he took office following the season, there were twelve teams in the NFL playing a twelve-game schedule to frequently half-empty stadiums, and only a few teams had television contracts. The NFL in was following a business model that had evolved from the 1930s. One of Rozelle's early accomplishments was helping the league adopt profit-sharing of gate and television revenues. The revenue-sharing was a major factor in stabilizing the NFL and guaranteeing the success of its small-market teams. Another important contribution was Rozelle's success in negotiating large television contracts to broadcast every NFL game played each season. In doing so, he deftly played one television network against the other. In early 1962, Rozelle was re-elected to a five-year contract to remain as commissioner, with a salary continuing at $50,000 per year. Less than five months later, he was granted a $10,000 bonus (for ) and his annual salary was increased by $10,000 to $60,000.
JFK assassination
After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, Rozelle wrestled with the decision of whether to cancel that Sunday's games. Rozelle and White House press secretary Pierre Salinger had been classmates at the University of San Francisco, so Rozelle consulted with him. Salinger urged Rozelle to play the games, so he agreed for the schedule to proceed. Rozelle felt that way, saying: "It has been traditional in sports for athletes to perform in times of great personal tragedy. Football was Mr. Kennedy's game. He thrived on competition." After their win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia, players on the Washington Redskins asked Coach Bill McPeak to send the game ball to the White House, thanking Rozelle for allowing the games to be played that weekend, saying that they were "playing...for President Kennedy and in his memory." There were players and news outlets that disagreed with the decision, and Rozelle subsequently thought it might have been wiser to cancel

The measurement of reactions (\[ddalfaKK\]) and (\[ddalfaf0\]) with cross sections in the sub-nb range are possible at the ANKE spectrometer. Using a cluster-jet target with Hydrogen as target material luminosities of $\sim 2.7\cdot10^{31}\
\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ have been achieved [@Fedorets_QNP2002]. Assuming that comparable luminosities can be reached with Deuterium, about 10–40 ($\mathrm{^4He}\, K^+ K^-$) events can be detected within one week of beam time (based on the experience of the previous $a_0^+$ beam times). The pions from reaction (\[ddalfaf0\]) have broader angular distributions and, thus, the acceptance of ANKE is about one order of magnitude smaller which is partially compensated by the larger cross section.
It is planned that within a few years ANKE will be equipped with a frozen-pellet target [@pellet] and a large-acceptance photon detector [@photon]. Since the achievable luminostities then will be roughly one order of magnitude higher, the isospin-violating process (\[dd\]) can be investigated by detecting the decay photons $\pi^0\rightarrow2\gamma$ and $\eta\rightarrow2\gamma$ in coincidence with the $\mathrm{^4He}$. The latter will be again identified and momentum reconstructed with ANKE. Based on our cross section estimate (\[csest\]) we conclude that a few weeks of beam time will be sufficient to collect several 100 events.

For and against Romania
“When I think about home, I think about Romania. I don’t live in a fantasy land with my head in the clouds. I don’t say we’re all going to be friends and live happily together forever and ever. What I am saying is that this country is wonderful, which is exactly why I decided to live here,” says Sam.
He likes people in Romania because they’re so friendly and will help you out when you need it. “A few years ago I was in Bucharest for a blind date with a woman I met online and I got turned around and lost. I stopped a group of young people and asked them to help me. They didn’t just tell me where to go and how to get there but actually came along with me to show me the way. We ended up talking and laughing and ended up hanging out all night together at a local bar,” remembers Sam.
Personal relationships are another reason why Sam likes Romanians. “If I go to the corner store that’s 3 minutes away by foot from my house, for sure I’m going to be there 20 minutes just gossiping with the neighbors. One day I went to the store and accidentally left my money at home. The store clerk knew me and told me not to worry about it and just bring the money the next day. That never happens in America,” he says.
What kind of tourism Romanians should practice
Sam believes Romanians need a new image. “When Romania is brought up, people only know about gymnastics, vampires and gypsies. Official tourist campaigns are launched year after year yet tourists still have no idea why they should come and visit Romania. They should abandon futuristic ambitious projects like Dracula Park and focus more on what can be done right now,” argues the American.
A few Romanian suggestions from Sam: “Foreigners can dance in the club until 3 am because Romania has some of the best clubs in Europe. They’ll discover very beautiful people, natural food that’s extremely delicious as well as artisan handicrafts and traditional products. Tourists would be extremely interested in learning how to sew, to carve wood, to drink tuica made at home and to ride in a wooden horse-drawn cart. Rich people would pay a fortune to get a taste of the the old traditional world that you can find here in Romania.”
Great article. I’m honestly happy you found happiness in

Case No. 2011-02719-AD
Deputy Clerk Daniel R. Borchert
MEMORANDUM DECISION
{¶1} Plaintiff, Tricia Porter, filed this action against defendant, Department of
Transportation (ODOT), contending her 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt was damaged as a
proximate result of negligence on the part of ODOT personnel in maintaining a
hazardous condition on US Route 22 in Jefferson County. In her complaint, plaintiff
provided a narrative description of her damage event recording she was traveling east
on US Route 22 when “my car went into huge pothole that was in the road which
caused my left driver side tire to go flat and off the rim.” Plaintiff recalled the particular
damage incident occurred on January 31, 2011 at approximately 6:35 a.m. Plaintiff
requested damages in the amount of $303.87, the total cost of replacement parts. The
$25.00 filing fee was paid and plaintiff requested reimbursement of that cost along with
her damage claim.
{¶2} Defendant denied liability based on the contention that no ODOT
personnel had any knowledge of the particular damage-causing pothole prior to
plaintiff’s January 31, 2011 described occurrence. Defendant located the pothole
“between mileposts 14.93 and 15.02 on US 22 in Jefferson County.” Defendant
explained ODOT records show no reports of a pothole on US Route 22 in the vicinity of
plaintiff’s incident prior to January 31, 2011. Defendant argued plaintiff did not provide
any evidence to establish the length of time the particular pothole was present on the
roadway prior to January 31, 2011. Defendant suggested, “it is likely the pothole
existed for only a short time before the incident.”
{¶3} Furthermore, defendant contended plaintiff did not offer any evidence to
prove the roadway was negligently maintained. Defendant related the ODOT “Jefferson
County Manager inspects all state roadways within the county at least two times a
month.” Apparently, no potholes were discovered in the vicinity of plaintiff’s incident on
US 22 the last time that section of roadway was inspected prior to January 31, 2011.
Defendant’s maintenance records show potholes were patched in the vicinity of
plaintiff’s incident on January 13, 2011, January 18, 2011,

Alginate (Manugel GMB, FMC, Lot No. G9402001) was purified before use. A 1 wt % alginate solution in deionized water was stirred with activated charcoal Norit (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h, followed by filtration with 11 μm, 1.2 μm, 0.45 μm, and 0.2 μm Whatman membrane filters to remove particulate matter. Water was removed by lyophilization to yield white fibrous alginate. Alginate was characterized via NMR to determine the M/G block composition of the polymer. See the [Supporting Information](#notes-1){ref-type="notes"} for details.
General Procedure for Functionalization of Alginate with Norbornene Methylamine {#sec3.2}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alginate (0.0506 g, 2.56 × 10^--4^ mol COOH groups) was weighed into a glass vial and dissolved with 5 mL of MES buffer. pH was adjusted to 6.5 with NaOH. EDC-HCl (0.0446 g, 2.33 × 10^--4^ mol) and sulfo-NHS (0.0360 g, 1.66 × 10^--4^ mol) were weighed and added to the vial in one portion before being left to stir for 30 min. Then, the pH of the reaction solution was adjusted with a pH paper to approximately 8 using NaOH (1 M). 5-Norbornene-2-methylamine was then added, and reaction was left to stir for 18 h at room temperature (rt). The reaction solution was then transferred to a 10 kDa MWCO dialysis tube and dialyzed against NaCl solutions, starting from 100 mM, 50 mM, 25 mM, and finally deionized water, with change of dialysate every 10 to 18 h. Water was then removed via lyophilization to yield functionalized alginate (Alg-norb). Degree of functionalization was determined via NMR using dimethylformamide as an internal standard (see the [Supporting Information](#notes-1){ref-type="notes"} for details). Molecular weight and molar mass dispersity were measured via aqueous gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (data included in the [Supporting Information](#notes-1){ref-type="notes"}). This modification was also successfully carried out in 0.5 and 1 g scales.

Now, as I understand it, [NSObject new] is practically (if not exactly?) the same as [[NSObject alloc] init]. So we can basically merge those two options as far as I'm concerned. Regarding the [NSDictionary dictionary] method though, the documentation says:
dictionary
Creates and returns an empty dictionary.
+ (id)dictionary
Return Value
A new empty dictionary.
Discussion
This method is declared primarily for use with mutable subclasses of
NSDictionary.
If you don’t want a temporary object, you can also create an empty
dictionary using alloc... and init.
I have a couple of questions regarding this documentation to begin with:
Firstly, why is it even declared in NSDictionary instead of NSMutableDictionary if that is where it is intended to be used?
Secondly, what do they mean by "temporary object" in this context?
In summary: Is there a difference between the third alternative above, compared to the first two? Could it have something to do with autoreleasing objects? Does that even matter in an Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) context?
Note that this question applies to other classes as well, for example [NSData data] and [NSArray array].
I am using XCode 4.6.1 and iOS 6.1. Does it matter which one I use these days, using ARC? Perhaps from some perspective on performance?
Thank you for any clear information on this!
A:
Firstly, why is it even declared in NSDictionary instead of NSMutableDictionary if that is where it is intended to be used?
Because it can still be useful to get an empty NSDictionary object. It's expected to be mostly used with NSMutableDictionary, but that doesn't mean it can't ever be used with NSDictionary.
Secondly, what do they mean by "temporary object" in this context?
Seems like bad documentation. They probably meant to say that if you don't want it to enter the autorelease pool then you can use alloc/init.
If you're using ARC, then whichever of these 3 methods you pick is entirely personal preference, as they'll all behave the same.
If you're not using ARC, then you should use +dictionary any time you need an autoreleased dictionary, and +alloc/init any time you need

Biography
Early life
Paulin Talabot was born on 18 August 1799 in Limoges in western France. His father, Francois Talabot (1764–1839), was a lawyer, and his mother was Marie Agathe Martin-Lagrave. He had seven siblings: Pierre Auguste (1790–1867); Léon Joseph (1796–1863); Francois Jules (1792–1868); and Jean-Baptiste Edmond (1804–1832). He studied at the École Polytechnique from 1819; Talabot is said to have become a follower of the Saint-Simonianism movement, but according to Ernouf this is because is he is confused with his younger brother, Edmond.
Career
In 1821, he started work building canals in Brest, and then in 1829 he moved to Decize, a coal mining area, to rebuild the canal between Aigues-Mortes and Beaucaire.
Learning of the success of the railways in England that were being built by George and Robert Stephenson, Talabot formed the Compagnie des Mines de la Grand’Combe et des chemins de fer du Gard, which planned to build a railway to take the coal from the mines at La Grand-Combe to the Mediterranean at Nîmes. The railway was approved 20 June 1833, but the scheme failed to raise the necessary funds until the government backed the scheme in 1837. Talabot visited England and befriended Robert Stephenson, who later visited Talabot in France. The first section of line from Nîmes to Beaucaire, opened on 15 July 1839, and a train covered the in 32 minutes using steam locomotives from Newcastle in England hauling carriages built in France. A second section opened in August 1840 and the line was fully opened in 1841.
Between 1838 and 1840, Talabot surveyed a railway between Avignon and Marseille via the Rhone Valley. Permission was granted in 1843 for the difficult line that included the bridge over the Rhone and the Nerthe tunnel, longer than anything in England at that time.
In 1846, Talabot became a member of the Société d'Études du Canal de Suez in 1846, and the following year had accompanied Robert Stephenson and Alois Negrell

\[prop:largescale\] Suppose that a rational function $F$ satisfies the [*summability condition*]{} with an exponent $$\alpha~<~\fr{p}{\mmax+p}~.$$ Then for any $p$-conformal measure $\nu$ with no atoms at critical points $\nu(J\setminus \Jls )=0$.
For every $x\in J$ and every $k\in \N$, we use the inductive procedure of Section \[sec:stop\] to decompose the sequence $x,\dots, F^k(x)$ of preimages of $F^{k}(x)$ into blocks of either $211\dots113$ or $2$. The procedure is stopped at the first occurrence of type $2$ block, which might be of arbitrary length. In particular, it might be of length zero which means that a block of type $2$ does not occur and the sequence ends with type $1$.
Denote by ${\cal E}_{x}$ the set of all codes obtained for $x$. Points in $\Jls $ are precisely those for which we get infinitely many different type $2$ sequences. Hence, if $x\in J\setminus \Jls $, then $x$ is a terminal point of an infinite number of sequences $2111\dots113$ with only a finite choice of type $2$ blocks. Let $k(x)$ be the minimal number for which infinitely many sequences from ${\cal E}_{x}$ have the same type $2$ block of length $k(x)$. Denote $X_k:=\brs{x:k(x)=k}$ and observe that the sets $\{X_{k}:k=0,1,\dots\}$ form a countable partition of $J\setminus \Jls$. If $\nu$ has no atoms at critical points and $F^{k}(X)$ is measurable then $$\nu(F^kX)=0\iff \nu(X)=0\iff\nu(F^{-k}X)=0.$$ Since $F^k(X_k)\subset X_0$ and consequently $J\setminus \Jls\subset\cup_k F^{-k}(X_0)$, it is sufficient to prove that $\nu(X_0)=0$. Without loss of generality we can exclude from $X_0$ all preimages of the critical points since they are of zero $\nu$ measure. Every point $x\

The players were offered Christian Orthodox crosses by the leader of the Greek church, Archbishop Christodoulos.
Thousands gathered in Athens to celebrate the team's triumph
The players had been due at the stadium at 1830 BST, but the ceremony had to be delayed by two hours as the bus carrying the team inched its way through streets thronged with people waving the country's blue and white flag.
Tens of thousands of fans lined the 25-mile route between the airport and the centre of Athens.
Earlier, the players' plane taxied through an arch of water made by two fire engines.
Rehhagel and his players, many wearing their medals, were presented with flowers and the fans cheered as they displayed the Henri Delaunay trophy.
Police had said they would ban all traffic along the route from the airport at least one hour before the plane touched down.
But it did not stop a crowd of about 1,500 people from gathering to welcome back their heroes, beating drums and singing the national anthem.
"This is the best passport, the best invitation for the Olympics, because this great Greek summer continues in one-and-a half months with the Games."
It is understood the Government is not planning a public holiday to mark the triumph.
"We have a full office working here just like any other day and I'm not aware of any plans for a public holiday," said a spokesman for the Athens 2004 organising committee.
Millions of fans had taken to the streets on Sunday night, in cars or on foot, jumping into fountains, scaling buildings and unfurling a sea of blue and white flags.
Fire trucks and police cars joined the party, parading along with the crowd through the capital.
The Greece players were lauded as soon as they arrived at the airport
The ancient Acropolis was lit by fireworks while cannons under the city's Lycabetus hill fired celebratory shots to hail Greece's 1-0 victory over Portugal, courtesy of Angelos Haristeas' header.
Radio stations on Monday played traditional syrtaki music to keep Athenians in the party spirit, and even political newspapers wore the national colours of blue-and-white around full-page pictures of the squad.
"They lifted Greece to the top of Europe," ran the headline of Eleftheros Typos.

Samuel Mirman for Appellant.
Newby, Holder & Newby for Respondent.
SHINN, J.
Appeal by plaintiff from a judgment on a directed verdict for defendant. It was alleged in the complaint that plaintiff, a real estate broker, had been engaged by one Epstein to find a purchaser for certain real estate and personal property belonging to Epstein and was to receive a commission of 5 per cent of the first $115,000 of the selling price and 50 per cent of any additional sum received for the property. It was alleged that plaintiff procured defendant as a purchaser, that defendant entered into a written agreement with Epstein to purchase the property for $125,000, and that defendant repudiated the agreement and refused to conclude the purchase. The prayer of the complaint was for damages in the sum of $10,750. The answer admitted the making of the contract of purchase, denied that defendant had repudiated it, and alleged that he had rescinded the contract for good cause.
Plaintiff offered in evidence an agreement by which Epstein appointed him exclusive agent to find a purchaser for the property. It was excluded from evidence upon defendant's *607 objection. It was not offered for identification and is not contained in the record. We may assume, as counsel do, that it conformed to the agreement alleged in the complaint, which described the property to be sold as "a building, bowling alley, cafe, cocktail room, licenses, good will, fixtures, equipment, and merchandise." The agreement of sale, hereinafter referred to, shows that the land also was included. The complaint alleged that under the employment agreement, "said Morris Epstein agreed to pay to the Plaintiff as commission for his securing a purchaser for said property five per cent (5%) of $115,000.00, plus 50% of all the amounts received by Epstein in excess of $115,000 for the sale of the aforementioned property."
The agreement between Epstein and defendant was in the form of escrow instructions, copy of which was attached to defendant's answer, and the agreement as pleaded was received in evidence. Defendant moved for a directed verdict upon the ground that plaintiff had not proved any agreement in writing subscribed by defendant, employing plaintiff to purchase the property for compensation or a commission, as required by section 1624(5) of the Civil Code, and a direction to the jury to return a verdict for defendant followed the granting of that motion.

It's not terrible. Personally, since I write in Markdown, it's an excellent

enough. Simplenote is another decent app that happens to have Markdown
support, but the implementation isn't very good. No image previews, no tables,
and on occasion it will outright mess up the formatting in `code blocks`.
Of course, I am very hesistant to put my full trust into Dropbox. Their Mac

Discussion
----------
While treatment protocols, early embryo development, and laboratory techniques have considerably improved over the last decades in ART cycles, little has been identified about the events that occur after the transfer of embryos in to the uterine cavity. About 75% of embryos do not implant after transfer. Thus, to improve implantation rates we need additional understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the endometrial preparation for embryo implantation ([@B11] -[@B13] ).
According to our data, for better embryo implantation it is necessary to have a good embryo with appropriate morphology and developmental potential as well as a high concentration of HCG. In this study we have hypothesized that HCG supplementation in the secretory phase of the endometrium during the frozen embryo cycle may increase the implantation and eventually the pregnancy rate. However our findings have contradicted with this hypothesis.
Our study showed that HCG supplementation for endometrial preparation in cryopreserved cycles had no more benefit than estradiol and progesterone. Our finding was consistent with the Ben-Meir et al. study where the researchers observed that recombinant HCG supplementation during the secretory phase of the frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles showed no advantage in terms of pregnancy and implantation rates ([@B9] ). Similar to our study, they did not use a GnRH agonist for down-regulation, and thus endogenous basal LH secretion was not completely suppressed. Tesarik et al. ([@B14] ) demonstrated that HCG supplementation during the luteal phase of the oocyte donation cycle improved pregnancy rates only in cycles with low endogenous LH.
Mansour et al. ([@B15] ) have shown that intrauterine injection of 500 IU HCG prior to embryo transfer significantly increased pregnancy rate after ART. They concluded that the HCG level positively correlated with the level of trophoblastic tolerance.
HCG plays a central role in controlling implantation and early embryonic development ([@B16] ). This hormone is produced very early by the developing embryo and is secreted in relatively high concentrations. HCG may effectively regulate endometrial preparation via the following processes ([@B17] ): i. local down-regulation of insulin growth factor binding protein 1 (IGF BP-1) by HCG leads to the prolongation of the window of endometrium; ii. HCG augments the endometrial receptivity by increasing angiogenesis through increased local vasoendothelial growth factor (VEGF) ([@B18] , [@B19] ); iii.HCG interacts with the production of galactosemic fibroblast (M-GSF) and leukemia inhibiting factor (

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 0$. Let $\gamma \in H_1(X , \mathbb{Z})$ and $\omega_1,...,\omega_g$ a basis for the space of holomorphic forms. The next result is in general true?
$$ \int_{\gamma} \omega_i = 0 \text{ for all } i \in \{1,...,g \} \text{ if and only if } \gamma = 0 \text{ in homology.} $$
It's trivially that the $\textbf{If}$ part is true, but the converse?
My attempt: If $c_1,...,c_{2g}$ are a basis for $H_1(X, \mathbb{Z})$, then $\gamma = m_1 c_1 + ... + m_{2g}c_g$ for some $m_i \in \mathbb{Z}$. Now
$$\int_{\gamma} \omega_i = m_1\int_{c_1} \omega_i + ... + m_{2g} \int_{c_{2g}} \omega_i = 0 \quad \forall i$$
and we consider by taking conjugates
$$\int_{\gamma} \overline{\omega_i} = m_1\int_{c_1} \overline{\omega_i} + ... + m_{2g} \int_{c_{2g}} \overline{\omega_i} = 0 \quad \forall i$$
then the matrix
$$P_{2g\times 2g} = \left(\int_{c_j} \omega_1 ,...,\int_{c_j} \omega_{g},\int_{c_j} \overline{\omega_1} ,...,\int_{c_j} \overline{\omega_{g}} \right)_{1 \leq j\leq 2g} $$
has no null kernel. By Riemann's relations $P$ is non singular, this implies $m_1 = ... =m_{2g} = 0$ and $\gamma = 0$.

Enrique Alférez was a Mexican-American artist who specialized in sculpting architectural reliefs and the human form.
Born in a rural village in northern Mexico, Alférez was introduced to sculpture by his father, a woodworker who was trained . He ran away at age 12, and was conscripted into the Constitutional Army during the Mexican Revolution. In 1920, he fled his home country and made his way to El Paso, Texas, where he found work as a photographer's assistant. It was here he attended a lecture presented by art teacher Lorado Taft, who was visiting El Paso on an Art Institute of Chicago tour. Seeing potential in the young man, Taft encouraged Alferez to come study under him in Chicago, which he did from 1927 through 1929.
After completing his education in 1929, he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he spent much of the rest of his life. He later married an American woman named Margaret, with whom he had a daughter.
His sculptures and reliefs adorn many parks, buildings, and landmarks in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area, many of them commissioned by the Works Progress Administration. Some of the most notable include those in City Park, as well as the "Molly Marine" statue, the first American sculpture to depict a woman in military uniform His fountain at New Orleans Lakefront Airport is a well known local landmark. He made reliefs for a number of buildings, including the Charity Hospital Building in New Orleans and the Palmolive Building in Chicago.
Alférez was not only a sculptor, and actively produced work in other artistic disciplines. Notably, he painted an official portrait of Senator Huey P. Long (who he personally loathed, as he revealed decades later).
Alférez remained active into his later years, both as a working artist and an art teacher. In 1993, he appeared in a PBS American Experience documentary entitled "The Hunt for Pancho Villa".

Our results are consistent with work of Drugan and Nguyen [@dn18], who proved that the entropy of the Angenent torus is less than $2$, and with the work of Chopp [@c94], who numerically computed a graph of the Angenent torus cross-section using level set methods but did not provide its length. There are many directions in which to continue this work; see Section \[sec:futurework\].
Motivation: mean curvature flow
===============================
Mean curvature flow describes the evolution of a surface in an ambient manifold via the negative gradient flow of area. It describes, for example, the evolution of soap films. For the purposes of this exposition, we will restrict our attention to hypersurfaces $\Sigma\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$. See the survey paper [@cmp15] for a more detailed treatment.
The *mean curvature* $H$ at a point $x$ on a surface $\Sigma\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ is the trace of the second fundamental form at $x$. Equivalently, the mean curvature is the sum of the principal curvatures of $\Sigma$ at $x$.
Note that in this convention we do not divide the sum of the principal curvatures by $n$ when computing the mean curvature, so it is more a curvature sum than a curvature mean. The sign convention for $H$ is such that the mean curvature of the sphere is positive.
A family of surfaces $\Sigma_t\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ is said to evolve by *mean curvature flow* if the points $x(t)\in\Sigma_t$ move with speed $H$ in the inward normal direction.
For closed surfaces, this flow will develop a singularity in finite time. For example, a round sphere of radius $r$ will shrink to a point in $\frac{r^2}{2n}$ units of time. The sphere is an example of a surface which evolves under mean curvature flow by dilations. Informally, one could call any such a surface a self-shrinker, but in the literature and in this article we fix the location of the singularity in space and time and use the term *self-shrinker* to refer to a surface that evolves under mean curvature by dilations about the origin and shrinks to a point after one unit of time.

Lactobacillus, Brettanomyces and Pediococcus are notable examples of once-wild yeasts & bacteria now tamed and routinely harnessed by brewers, with Brett in particular imparting funky—sometimes fruity—barnyard-esque flavors often lovingly referred to as “horse blanket.” In moderation, these traits are desirable for their intricacies, showcasing the environmental flavors summoned from the brewery’s immediate surroundings. You may have already enjoyed the acidic tartness courtesy of Lactobacillus in our kettle-soured Berliner Weisse, A Bizarre Gardening Accident (note: Lactobacillus also gives sauerkraut and yogurt their distinct tang).
Air temperature and seasonality are also paramount to ensure the right kind of bacteria are soaked up, so our brew team jumped into action when they saw last weekend’s forecasted overnight temperatures dip into the low 40s. If brewed with undesirable bacteria borne on hot, sticky summer air they could render the beer’s funk unbearably harsh. While there is certainly an undercurrent of chaos in this manner of brewing, this timeworn technique has been used—and is still used—by notable Belgian farmhouse brewers like Cantillon to create their famed Lambics, and this uniquely unpredictable process has seen a significant resurgence in the United States.
Where did the inspiration for a coolship come from?
BobHaa, HeadBrewer: Coolships are rare here in Florida and we’ve all been interested in doing this for a while. When I visited Cantillon in 2012 (Brussels) I considered that a bucket-list trip, almost like a pilgrimage. When I was 22 years-old I was buying old, dusty bottles of Lambics from a guy in St. Petersburg who couldn’t sell them. They were so good I went back and cleared out his supply, and I’ve been inspired by wild beer styles since I started home-brewing in the late 80s. I’ve always been leery about the ramifications of doing it in a commercial brewery, but we now have a solid crew and the careful processes in place needed to make it work.
BruceBobbitt, Brewer: Buying a coolship wasn’t exactly priority number one with our production demands, so we had to think outside of the box a bit.
JoseMartinez, LeadBrewer: This whole idea started over the summer when Andrew (

HARRIS, Senior District Judge.

Lee Allen Jones appeals from a final judgment entered in the District Court1 for the Eastern District of Missouri upon jury verdicts for defendants Collier and Mendoza and against Jones on a 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 complaint against the correctional officers. There were two trials in the district court--the first trial resulted in a verdict for Collier and a mistrial as to defendant Mendoza; the second trial resulted in a verdict for Mendoza.FACTS
6
On June 29, 1982, Officers Collier and Mendoza and another correctional officer transported three prisoners to the St. Louis County Hospital. Each officer was assigned to one prisoner, each prisoner wore a chain around his waist to which he was handcuffed, and the officers were armed. While waiting in the security room at the hospital, a situation arose wherein Officer Mendoza and Mr. Jones came to blows. Mr. Jones contended before the jury that Mendoza, for no good cause, attacked and beat him. Officer Mendoza contended that Jones, after Mendoza asked him a question, became belligerent and attacked Mendoza, grabbing Mendoza's coat and tie. Mendoza further contended it was necessary to strike Jones to cause him to release his grasp.
7
At the first trial, Michael Hill, one of the prisoners in the County Hospital waiting room, testified that he did not see Jones grab Mendoza's coat or tie. At the second trial he testified he was not sure. Counsel for the plaintiff moved at the second trial, the next court day following Hill's testimony, that Hill should be recalled to the stand for rebuttal or, alternatively, that the trial should be delayed so that a transcript could be prepared of his testimony at the first trial and read to the jury. Plaintiff's counsel failed to rebut Hill's testimony when he was on the stand or even attempt to lay grounds for rebuttal. Hill was at the time of the request some 300 miles away in state prison. The district court denied the plaintiff's motion.
8
At both trials, the defense attorney moved that evidence of plaintiff's prior convictions not be admitted in to evidence. The district court denied the motion both times. Notwithstanding his efforts to exclude such evidence from the trial of case, in the second trial plaintiff's attorney introduced the evidence of

Are you looking for a co-founder for an idea you're already working on or open
to joining an idea? Its understandable that everyone seems to be attached to
their own ideas, but it sounds like the attachment to the idea might actually
be the hardest part of partnering up with someone.

In my specific case, I have a project I'm already working on, and looking for
a co-founder to advance that. That's not to say I couldn't be swayed to work

I'm not really looking for a new idea.

In grafted male mice, E~2~ and P~4~ concentrations were significantly higher than those in control mice. The experimental and control groups showed notable differences in the plasma T4 level. The control group showed the highest level of T4 (32.71 ± 0.95), which was significant compared with those of the other groups. In addition, the highest and lowest levels of T4 were observed in the FOT+ (18.20 ± 0.58) and VOT (10.60 ± 0.74) groups, respectively, but these differences were not significant ([Table 5](#T5){ref-type="table"}). However, the VOT group (0.04 ± 0.00) had the lowest testis weight 3 weeks after transplantation, which was comparable to the other control and experimental groups.

Progression to MII stage was significantly higher in oocytes derived from the FOT+ group (51.54% ± 2.87) than in those derived from the other groups, while VOT group showed the lowest comparative MΠ rate and the highest total degeneration rate (14.28% ± 2.88 and 33.88% ± 3.47, respectively) ([Table 6](#T6){ref-type="table"}). The fertility rate in the VOT group (30.00% ± 13.33) was significantly different from the FOT and FOT+ groups (61.16% ± 5.68 and 69.83% ± 4.71, respectively). There was no significant difference between the VOT+ (51.66% ± 3.88) and the other groups ([Table 7](#T7){ref-type="table"}) for the fertility rate.

Other components in my application will call the setState function in the state.service.ts file. I am binding the state value in my template just to watch the value so I can then use directives to change the experience based on application state.
The Problem

Note
When I call the setState function within the nav component I do see the value of the string interpolation change but only in the nav.component.ts, other components will not change. It is almost like they are using clones of the observable.

In the conventional art, a belt, especially a seamless belt, has been used for various purpose, as a member in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. In recent years, an intermediate transfer belt system has been used in a full color image forming apparatus, where the intermediate transfer belt system includes superimposing developed images of four colors, yellow, magenta, cyan, and black temporarily on an intermediate transfer member, and collectively transferring the superimposed images onto a transfer medium, such as paper.
As for the aforementioned intermediate transfer belt, a system using developing units of four respective colors to one photoreceptor has been used, but this system has a problem that a printing speed thereof is slow. Accordingly, to achieve high speed printing, a quarto-tandem system has been used, where the tandem system includes providing photoreceptors of four respective colors, and an image of each color is continuously transferred to paper.
In this system, however, it is very difficult to accurately position images of colors to be superimposed, as the paper is affected by the fluctuations of the environment, which causing displacement of the colors in the image. Accordingly, currently, an intermediate transfer belt system has been mainly adapted for the quarto-tandem system.
Under the circumstances as mentioned above, the higher requirements for properties (high speed transferring, and accuracy for positioning) of a intermediate transfer belt have been demanded than before, and therefore it is necessary for an intermediate transfer belt to satisfy these requirements. Especially for the accuracy for positioning, it has been required to inhibit variations caused by deformation of an intermediate transfer belt itself, such as stretching, after continuous use thereof. Moreover, an intermediate transfer belt is desired to have flame resistance as it is provided over a wide region of a device, and high voltage is applied thereto for transferring. To satisfy these demands, a polyimide resin that is a highly elastic and highly heat resistant resin, has been mainly used as a material of an intermediate transfer belt.
When the intermediate transfer belt is used in an image forming apparatus for long periods, the edge of the belt cracks or the belt breaks when curved by a drive roller. Therefore, the running belt does not have sufficient durability.
Japanese Patent No. JP-4840038-B2 (Japanese published unexamined application No. 2007-14754-A) discloses a method of specifying a volatile material in an intermediate transfer belt to be 10 to 100,000 ppm to improve durability and transferability thereof. This relates to improvement of durability of a surface layer, and is

1991–92 New York Knicks season
The 1991–92 NBA season was the 46th season of the National Basketball Association in New York City. In the offseason, the Knicks hired Pat Riley to take over as head coach, while acquiring All-Star forward Xavier McDaniel from the Phoenix Suns, and signing free agent Anthony Mason. Riley, who previously coached the Los Angeles Lakers two years ago had an impact, as the Knicks finished second in the Atlantic Division with a 51–31 record. Patrick Ewing was selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game. In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks eliminated the Detroit Pistons in five games. In the semifinals, the Knicks faced off against the defending champion Chicago Bulls for the second straight year. The Knicks frustrated the Bulls and Michael Jordan with their physical play. The Knicks lost in seven games as the Bulls–Knicks rivalry was born.
Following the season, McDaniel signed as a free agent with the Boston Celtics, Mark Jackson was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, Kiki Vandeweghe signed as a free agent with the Clippers, and Gerald Wilkins signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The resulting set of coupled equations can be solved numerically with a finite element method [@Diddens2017b; @diddens2017evaporating; @Tan2017a]. We restrict ourselves to axial symmetry. Since the evolution of the contact angle is determined by microscopic interactions at the contact line, it cannot be predicted by the model. Instead, the experimentally measured evolution of the contact angle was imposed throughout the simulation, see Fig. \[fig:parameters\_10\]A.
![Experimental (data points) and numerical results (solid line) for the temporal evolution of the geometrical parameters (A): footprint dimater $L$, contact angle $\theta$ and (B): volume $V$ from experiment and numerical simulation.

Inside the droplet, the mass fraction of 1,2-hexanediol (left) and the velocity (right) is depicted. Note the very different phenomena at $t = 10$s (upper) and at the two later times $t = 145$s, and $t = 180$s (lower).[]{data-label="fig:10per"}](10per-eps-converted-to.pdf){width="100.00000%"}
In Fig. \[fig:10per\], these snapshots of the simulation for the droplet consisting of an initial $10 \%$ 1,2-hexanediol are depicted. While initially a considerable Marangoni flow is present and the profile of the evaporation rate resembles the case of a pure water droplet, the situation drastically changes at later times: The Marangoni flow ceases due to the nearly constant surface tension at lower water concentrations. Towards the end of the evaporation process, the evaporation rate suddenly decreases once the water concentration $Y_{\text{w}}$ falls below a threshold of about $10 \%$. Since this transition sets in near the contact line, the profile of the evaporation rate shows a remarkable deviation from the case of a

Dec. 11, 2013
CHICAGO – More than 7,000 Illinois residents signed up for private insurance coverage in the first two months of the troubled HealthCare.gov website, less than 30 percent of the federal government's projection for the state's enrollment at this point of the rollout.
Enrollment figures released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed the pace picking up in the state and nationally; 364,682 Americans signed up for private coverage under President Barack Obama's new federal health law, including 7,043 in Illinois.
In October, when the website was barely working, only 1,370 Illinois residents managed to select a health plan and sign up. The new figures mean an additional 5,673 people made it through the process in November as the government scrambled to make hundreds of website repairs.
Catching up on enrollment will be challenging. The target for Illinois was to have 24,310 people signed up by the end of November, according to an internal federal memo first obtained by The Associated Press.
The state's 1,500 enrollment counselors would each need to successfully sign up more than one person every single day of this month – about nine people each week – to catch up with what had originally been projected before the website failures: 67,210 Illinois residents signed up by the end of December.
The administration had set a goal of signing up 7 million people by the end of open enrollment season March 31.
State officials said there is still plenty of time for people to enroll.
"These numbers show the federal website has improved but there is still more work to do," Jennifer Koehler, the chief of the Illinois insurance marketplace, said in an email. "A lot of people still need coverage and have been exploring their options on Getcoveredillinois.gov. We can see this from the traffic on the website and from the reports we are getting from our statewide network of community partners, who are helping consumers sort through their options and enroll every day."
Online insurance shopping is a key part of the nation's health care law. Illinois is relying on the federal website because the Legislature didn't approve a state-run marketplace.
The federal site serving 36 states, including Illinois, continues to have issues. Just Tuesday there was an extended maintenance outage. Some states running their own websites are also having problems, but in general, the state-run sites are performing better than the federal site.

ANALYSIS
6
To the extent that the Employees' claims were state law claims they were obviously preempted. Lingle v. Norge Div. of Magic Chef, Inc., 486 U.S. 399, 403 (1988). However, on the face of the complaint itself, the claims were made under the collective bargaining agreements and were federal claims. Even if the complaint could be construed as initially stating state claims, the plaintiffs were free to recharacterize their suit as one arising under § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act. Ghebreselassie v. Coleman Security Service, 829 F.2d 892 (9th Cir.1987).
7
On appeal, GTE argues that we may affirm, not on the basis of preemption, but on the grounds that the Employees failed to allege that they exhausted the remedies available under the collective bargaining agreements. We are free to affirm on any ground visible in the record and we affirm on this ground.
8
The agreement between Local Union 89 IBEW and GTE, Article VIII sets out a grievance procedure for any "alleged violation of the contractual relationship between employer and employee" and provides that the failure of either party to meet the time limits set will result in the default. Article IX further provides for arbitration if there is a difference of opinion as to the interpretation of the agreement. Federal labor policy "requires that individual employees wishing to assert contract grievances must attempt use of a contract grievance procedure agreed upon by employer and union as the mode of redress." Republic Steel v. Maddox, 379 U.S. 650, 652 (1965) (emphasis in original). Nothing in the plaintiffs' complaint indicates that they took the steps required for grievance or arbitration. Nowhere in the complaint is there a reference to use of the remedies provided by the collective bargaining agreements. The allegation of the Employees that they have "duly performed all conditions required of them under the agreements" refers to their right to recover the per diem allowance and does not refer to compliance with the grievance procedure set up by the collective bargaining agreements.
9
Pleading in the federal courts is not a game, and courts construe pleadings liberally so as to do substantial justice. Lynn v. Sheet Metal Workers' International Ass'n, 804 F.2d 1472, 1482 (9th Cir.1986). The Employees have studiously avoided stating that they complied

Ask HN: Do you want Screenhero back? (Screenhero-cofounder here) - jsherwani
Screenhero (YC W13) was acquired by Slack, and our tech powers Slack Calls. Today, Slack announced it's sunsetting Screenhero-style screen sharing in Slack Calls.<p>I know there are lots of people that loved Screenhero, and I'm curious if your needs are being met through existing alternatives (Tuple, UseTogether, Zoom). If not, I'm considering working on a successor.<p>FYI I've been working on rebooting my previous startup in the remote desktop space, and have built Scrn (https://scrn.app) with a small team. But with today's announcement, I'm wondering if there's a far greater need for a Screenhero-style remote work / collaboration product.

thinksocrates
I don't think anything is as good as screen hero used to be. The problem that
I've had since it's been integrated with Slack is that it often acts like
there's not enough bandwidth. Choppy connections, etc. I end up switching to a
Google Hangout which will typically work fine.
I think there's some clear space for "remote pair programming" tools.

Our company misses screen hero big time, comes up in discussion often. The
only suitable replacement we’ve found is vscode liveshare which is actually
very good but not everyone wants to use vscode.

Because NDR1 potentiates NF-κB signaling in the presence of TNFα ligand[@b18], we wished to evaluate the effect of SOCS2 on this aspect of NDR1 function due to its potential implications for clarifying the mechanisms behind SOCS2 anti-inflammatory actions, as mentioned above. However, before delving on to the functional implications of SOCS2 perturbations on NDR1-potentiated NF-κB signaling, we first asked what is the role of SOCS2 in TNFα-induced NF-κB activation in MEFs under our experimental conditions. IB analysis of cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts showed that MEFs depleted of SOCS2 (SOCS2^KD^) had significantly higher nuclear p65 levels, as compared to wild-type (SOCS2^WT^) cells, after stimulation with TNFα ([Fig. 4A](#f4){ref-type="fig"}). We obtained similar results using high-content quantitative imaging (HCQI) ([Figure S2A, B](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"} and [Fig. 4B,C](#f4){ref-type="fig"}) which allowed detection of nuclear p65 quantitatively *in situ*[@b19][@b20]. Consistently, SOCS2^KD^ cells were hyper-responsive to TNFα ligand with respect to NF-κB activity as determined by luciferase reporter assay ([Fig. 4D](#f4){ref-type="fig"}) and changes in mRNA levels of the NF-κB target gene IL-6 ([Figure S2C](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"} and [Fig. 4E](#f4){ref-type="fig"}). We also observed that SOCS2 depletion resulted in changes in proteins secreted by TNFα-stimulated MEFs that promoted NF-κB transactivation in wild-type cells (i.e., in a paracrine manner) ([Fig. 4F--I](#f4){ref-type="fig"}). We contextualize our *in vitro* data in an *in vivo* setting by using the murine DSS (dextran sodium sulphate) model of ulcerative colitis (UC)[@b21] where TNFα is a major driving factor[@b22]. DSS-administered induction of UC has not been previously reported in SOCS2 knock-out (SOCS2^−/−^) mice. We found that in comparison to wild type mice, colonic tissue from SOCS2^−/−^ mice showed exacerbated inflammation upon DSS

I used the idea of a flag property from @PratikPrajapati answer in conjunction with the first part of my question.
I declared a property and initially set it as var isPaging = false. Then insidecellForItem and sizeForItem I check to see if the bool value is either true or false.
Inside the else clause of handlePagination(), I set the flag to isPaging = true and then call collectionView.reloadData() so that when the cv is reloaded, cellForItem and sizeForItem will now show the spinner inside the loading cell and give it a height of 40.
Last inside the else clause's callback I set the flag back to false and call collectionView.reloadData() again so that all the cells are updated, the spinner is no longer spinning, and the loading cell’s size is .zero:

The present invention relates to a method for setting dyes on fabrics in general, by the two-step process, as well as a system specifically designed for carrying out this method.
As is known, the so-called two-step process for setting reactive dyes on cotton or viscose comprises a first step, in which on a textile support there is printed and dryed a semi-dense mixture, comprising a dye and a thickening agent.
The second step of the process consists of causing the fabric to pass, after the printing and drying operation, through an alkali bath with an immediately subsequent vaporizing by using slightly super-heated steam, for a period of time which can vary from 12 to 15 seconds.
Between the alkali bath and vaporizer a pre-heating device is usually included, for example, of the infrared ray type.
This process is broadly used mainly for cotton or viscose fabrics, since it provides the possibility of printing and vaporizing the fabric in different days, and allows to obtain an optimum setting of the dyes, since the vaporizing operation is substantially of a wet-on-wet type.
Moreover, no polluting additional product is used, such as urea or accelerating substances, and the method involves a low consume of power for the vaporization, together with a small cost for the dyes, which is much smaller than that required for a single-step setting process.
In order to carry out the vaporization, there is at present used a vaporizer, comprising a tower or column, inside which there are held 8-12 meters of fabric.
In the column, the fabric is entrained to vertically rise, as controlled by a driven cylinder, arranged at the top of the column, and then the fabric is caused to downwardly move and exit the processing column.
The steam which is present inside the column or processing chamber has conventionally a temperature of 130.degree. C., in order to assure a good setting of the dye.
The use of such a column derives from the fact that, during the processing operations, it is necessary that the printed side of the fabric does not rub on the cylinder since such a rubbing would damage the printed material.
This is a great limitation for the use of the above mentioned process, since the processed fabric will have, for each processing cycle, a length of only ten meters, since it would be not possible to make columns having excessively great heights.
Moreover, the use of a column or tower apparatus prevents the two step system from being applyed

The Friend–Hack House, also known as the Hack House, was built as a private house, located at 775 County Street in Milan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and currently houses the Hack House Museum.
History
In the mid-1880s, Professor Henry Friend (or Freund) arrived in New York City, claiming to have invented a process that used electricity to refine sugar. In 1884, Friend founded the Electric Sugar Refining Company with a capitalization of $1,000,000. Friend purchased a Brooklyn factory to continue experimenting with his process, and the fortunes of the company boomed, with stock prices jumping from $100 per share in 1884 to $625 per share in 1888. However, Friend suffered from various health problems, exacerbated by heavy drinking, and died on March 10, 1888. After Friend's death, his young widow Olive and her parents took control of the company.
Olive was originally from Milan, Michigan, and purchased 80 acres from her uncle William Henry Harrison ("Uncle Henry" to Olive) Hack. She had this house built for her on the property. After her husband's death, she and her young son lived for a while in the Brooklyn factory, then retired to Milan later in 1888. Becoming suspicious, other officers in the Electric Sugar Refining Company contacted her, then began investigating the company's factory. In early 1889, they discovered that Professor Henry Friend's "process" was a complete fraud, and that no machine existed. Olive Friend and her parents were arrested and returned to New York. Although her father was sentenced to nine years in prison, both Olive and her mother were released in late 1889 after being sentenced to time served.
Olive returned to this house, and soon constructed an addition on the rear. Her mother built a nearly identical home just northwest of Milan on Arkona Road. Olive soon remarried, moved to Detroit, and sold the house to her uncle William Henry Hack; she died in 1902. William and Mary Hack moved into the house, and in 1901 their son James and his wife Daisy moved in. James and Daisy Hack lived in the house until 1973, when it was purchased by Owens-Illinois. In 1980, the company donated the house to the Milan Area Historical Society, who operate it as the Hack House Museum.

The Friend–Hack House is probably the best example

As with the planetary atmospheres of solar system planets, clouds are expected to play major roles in the vertical structure, chemistry, and reflected and emitted spectra of extrasolar planets. That said, the most extensive experience to date with clouds outside of the solar system has been with the brown dwarfs. The presence of refractory clouds in L dwarfs and sulphide and salt clouds in late T dwarfs has been well established and a number of methods have been developed to model these clouds.
Compared to cloud modeling approaches within the solar system or particularly on Earth, exoplanet cloud models are still in their infancy. In many cases arbitrary clouds are employed that specify a range of plausible cloud properties that are usually sufficient to explore parameter space. More sophisticated efforts attempt to derive particle sizes, composition, and number density as a function of height through the atmosphere from a given set of assumptions will be needed once higher resolution, broad wavelength spectral data become available.
As of the time of this chapter’s writing the best evidence for clouds in extrasolar planet atmospheres lies in the spectra of the planets orbiting the nearby A star HR 8799. Planets b, c, and d each have red near-infrared colors that are best explained by global refractory cloud decks that have persisted to lower effective temperatures than in higher mass field brown dwarfs. This persistence of clouds to lower effective temperatures for lower gravity objects continues a trend that has already been recognized among brown dwarfs.
Among the transiting planets there is convincing evidence for high altitude clouds--or perhaps a photochemical haze--in the atmosphere of HD 189733b. The transit spectra of this planet lacks the deep absorption bands expected for a clear atmosphere of absorbing gas but rather exhibits a smoothly varying absorption profile likely caused by small grain scattering. A second planet, GJ 1214b also has a transit spectrum lacking absorption features. In this case the spectrum may be attributable either to a small atmospheric scale height resulting from a high mean molecular weight composition or from clouds.
These early detections are like distant clouds seen at sunset presaging a coming storm. The GPI, SPHERE, and many other direct imaging planet searches are expected to discover dozens of young, self-luminous extrasolar giant planets over the coming decade (*Oppenheimer & Hinkley*, 2009; *Traub & Oppenheimer,* 2010). Many of these planets will exist in the effective temperature range in which clouds shape their emergent spectra. Meanwhile continued studies of transiting planets, particularly by the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope

Arnold & Porter, Daniel M. Lewis, Brian P. Leitch, Washington, D.C., for defendant-appellee.
Before RUBIN, JOHNSON and JOLLY, Circuit Judges.
OPINION
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge.
1
The district court dismissed an appeal from the bankruptcy court because the appellant's brief was not filed within 15 days after entry of the appeal and, indeed, had not yet been filed 19 1/2 months later when the appeal was dismissed. Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm.
2
This appeal to the district court from a bankruptcy court order was filed on September 14, 1983. Although Bankruptcy Rule 8009 requires the appellant to serve and file his brief within 15 days after entry of the appeal, no further action was taken. Upon inquiry by the district court on April 30, 1985, to determine the status of the case, the appellant's lawyer expressed the belief his brief had been filed. The lawyer checked his file and found the brief there, undelivered to the court. No copy had been served upon or mailed to the appellee. The district court dismissed the appeal because no explanation had been given for appellant's failure either to file a brief or to monitor the case.
3
Under more egregious facts, we affirmed the dismissal of a bankruptcy appeal for failure timely to file a brief in Pyramid Mobile Homes, Inc. v. Speake,1 saying that, while "we fully recognize that indiscriminate exercise of the dismissal power for [such] derelictions ... may punish the innocent client for the unprofessional conduct of his counsel,"2 "time is of the essence" in bankruptcy proceedings and this court should review the district court's action with attention to "the prejudicial effect of delay on the appellees and the bona fides of the appellant."3
4
There is no issue concerning the good faith of either the appellant or its counsel, but the delay in considering the appeal might well be prejudicial to the appellee and others. The appeal to the district court concerned the bankruptcy court's disallowance of counterclaims against the former officers and directors of the

_" Sometimes I wonder how many things could have gone differently."_
I'm a firm believer that awesome always finds a way, but I love these stories
of seemingly small decisions ( _" I could’ve spent the $500 on something other
than a Rift. I could’ve stayed in bed"_) being major turning points in
someone's life.
For me, a pivotal moment was Stanley Kubrick's removal of _A Clockwork Orange_
from circulation in the 1970s, and its subsequent posthumous re-release in
2000. My university cinema had a showing one night; this gave me time to kill
on campus after the library closed; during which time I saw a job-board ad for
work in a real estate firm.
The job led to a management position post-graduation, which turned into State
Operations Manager for a large franchise group, which turned into the business
coaching career I've had for almost a decade.
If Kubrick hadn't pulled the film? If he had died a year earlier? Maybe I
would have leveraged my journalism degree into that profession instead? From
little things, big things grow...

ABSTRACT Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling has the potential to be of therapeutic value in periodontal disease (PD). LPA is central to homeostasis and pathophysiology, existing in bodily fluids at low levels in health, and becoming elevated in inflammation and pathology. Key to periodontal disease (PD), LPA is essential to all aspects of bone biology and inflammation (Jesionowska et al., 2014). The secreted enzyme autotaxin (ATX) makes the majority of LPA

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) regulates muscle differentiation through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). Also it was recently reported that PI 3-kinase is involved in the activation of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1). We investigated whether PLC-gamma1 therefore plays a role in IGF-I-induced muscle differentiation using H9c2 rat cardiac myoblasts as a model. IGF-I was able to activate PLC-gamma1

A comparison between [Figures 2](#pone-0056398-g002){ref-type="fig"} and [3](#pone-0056398-g003){ref-type="fig"} revealed that the main WNF outbreak peak in humans appeared 2--3 weeks after the extreme temperature anomalies had occurred.
Pearson and lag correlations results ([Table 1](#pone-0056398-t001){ref-type="table"}) are described on a meteorological stations scale. Significant and positive linkages (0.31≤r≤0.65) were detected between temperature and a number of WNF cases for the Russian stations at lags of 2--4 weeks but not for the concurrent week (lag 0). Positive correlations were also detected for Romania: in Bucharest at lags of 2--3 weeks and in Constanta at lags of 1--4 weeks (0.33≤r≤0.61). In general, the strongest lag time results were obtained for the northern countries (Russia and Romania). In contrast, in southern and hotter countries (Israel and Greece), the correlations appeared in the same week (lag 0) and presented an immediate response. At these stations, significance was also observed at longer lag-times of 1--2 weeks in Thessaloniki (Greece), for all lags in Larissa (Greece, for minimum and mean temperature), at lags of 1--3 weeks for Ben-Gurion Airport station (minimum temperatures), and for Haifa, Israel (mean temperature). Weak associations were found for the Turkish stations at lags of 3--4 weeks. A different pattern was detected for Budapest with significant results (0.32≤r≤0.50) at lags of 6--7 weeks. Correlations were not computed for Italy and Spain because of sample size constraints.

2. Prior Art
Several industrial processes, such as the direct chlorination of ilmenite ores to produce titania, generate large quantities of by-product iron chlorides. Disposal of these iron chlorides poses potential pollution problems and represents an economic loss for the chlorine content of the by-products.
Harris, et al, "Process for Chlorination of Titanium Bearing Materials and for Dechlorination of Iron Chloride", in World Mining and Metals Technology, Alfred Weiss, Ed., The Society of Mining Engineers, New York, Chapter 44, pages 693-712 (August 1976), suggest that ferric chloride can be treated with oxygen in a fluidized-bed reactor in the vapor phase. The process produces chlorine gas, which can be recycled to an ilmenite chlorination process, and iron oxide by-product rather than soluble chloride wastes. According to Harris et al, the process, which was investigated on laboratory size equipment at temperatures of 500.degree. to 550.degree. C., includes: feeding preheated oxygen into the bottom of the reactor countercurrent to product iron oxide which exits to collection from the bottom of the reactor; feeding solid ferric chloride particles to the reactor; optionally feeding small amounts of carbon to furnish heat to the system; and treating in a separated stream a portion of the iron oxide collected with sodium chloride which may then be recycled to the reactor as a catalyst in an amount equal to about 25 percent by weight of the ferric chloride feed. Although this process is reported to operate satisfactorily on the laboratory scale, the authors point out that an industrial process for waste conversion of ferric chloride by dechlorination is still needed.
Others, such as Sawyer, U.S. Pat. No. 2,642,339, describe similar ferric chloride treatments in the vapor phase with oxygen in fluidized-bed reactors, but these processes do not suggest the use of supplementary fuel in the reactor. Dunn et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,376,112, disclose carrying out the dechlorination reaction in a moving bed reactor wherein carbon-containing fuel materials, such as carbon tetrachloride, carbon monoxide, phosgene or hydrocarbons, optionally may be used. In still another process for treating iron chloride in the vapor phase with oxygen, Nelson et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,092,456, disclose the use of a once-through, vapor-phase combustion chamber, wherein iron oxide inc

The band is known for having its songs remixed by a wide variety of dance music producers, including Leftfield, Band of Gypsies, Carl Cox, Push, Rollo Armstrong from Faithless, Red Jerry, Matt Darey, Slam, X-Press 2, Trouser Enthusiasts, Robbie Rivera, Jimmy Gomez, K-Klass, Armand Van Helden, and Fire Island (Pete Heller and Terry Farley) among others.
Ahead of its second album, the group released a variety of tracks under alternative names including a selection of 12-inch singles referred to as the Anna Series. This included the instrumental "Angel Dub," which was credited to Anna Din, and was featured on many compilations such as Renaissance: The Mix Collection by Sasha & John Digweed. These tracks were released independently, breaking the terms of their contract with Sony and leading to an increasingly strained relationship with the label.
The group's second album was called Change Or Die, and from it, the band released the singles "When" (U.S. Dance #1), "Exodus," "White Skies," "Secrets," and "Looking at You" (U.S. Dance #2). Despite all these singles, the album was not commercially released in major territories outside the UK, and the band therefore negotiated its release from its Sony Music contract. Their next release was a mainly instrumental limited-edition CD called New Dark Times, issued on the band's own Kali label, which combined new material with tracks from the Anna Series and remixes from Change Or Die.
The band subsequently signed with UK dance label Pulse-8. Its next single, "Catch" (U.K. Dance No. 1, U.S. Dance #2), was from an album titled Out of the Woods, but the label went bankrupt in 1997 before its completion, along with some other challenges at the time this meant that the album and the second single "Cover Me" were never released on the Pulse-8 label. , though remixes of "Cover Me" by Trouser Enthusiasts appeared on compilations, and an unfinished version of the album was leaked online.
Since then there have been a handful of releases and compilations such as the Sunscreem vs Push "Please Save Me" single (US Dance No. 26, UK Singles #40), and a re-release of

We offer custom produced video effects for your attraction. Regardless of 2D or 3D, we can deliver anything that will help your create the environment you have imagined. Our knowledgable team has many years of experience in the areas of short- and feature length film production and visual effects. Have something „out of this world“ on your mind? We can virtually build it for you using the latest CGI technology. Be it an attraction for the whole family or a scary dark ride or haunted house, we can make your ideas come to life on any canvas.
„Living“ Portraits
Portraits that suddenly come to life have become a very popular effect in the theme park and haunt industry - with a little help by some popular books and movies about a certain young english wizard that is.Since 2011 we have been producing custom versions of this effect which comes in three main variations:
Old Painting: The painting has a matte finish and you can even see brush strokes. Sophisticated lighting setup while shooting the scene, detailed post production and innovative playback and display or projection technology delivery this truly amazing illusion when presented in a baroque picture frame.
Photo Portrait: Just like a real large format photo portrait this effect has a custom made picture frame with glass to protect the image and a passepartout / mat to properly present it. A vignette is added for realism and we can even simulate the hand coloring that took place in the good old times. If lit correctly, you won’t be able to tell the difference between a real photo and this display…well, until it moves!
Special Version - Mirror: Under normal room lighting you won’t notice anything strange about this large mirror. But if you come to close, the mirror will reveal its secret as there is a display behind the semi transparent special glass that we use to create this illusion (we don’t use regular spy mirrors but a special glass that delivery superior image quality and does not darken the display behind it). This concept is ideal to create enchanted mirror illusions or Bloody Mary type scare effects in a haunted attraction.
All living portrait illusions are custom produced for you. We currently do not manufacture any off the shelf versions.But if you should already have suitable video footage or want to get creative yourself, we will gladly provide you with the required hardware. Either way, we will be happy to assist you with your ideas.

[*1]In the Matter of the Claim of Robert Enoch, Appellant,
vNew York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision et al., Respondents. Workers' Compensation Board, Respondent.
Calendar Date: January 17, 2020
Before: Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Clark, Mulvey and Colangelo, JJ.
Kirk & Teff, LLP, Kingston (Justin S. Teff of counsel), for appellant.
Peter Cusick, State Insurance Fund, Albany (Edward Obertubessing of counsel), for New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision and another, respondents.
Garry, P.J.
Appeal from a decision of the Workers' Compensation Board, filed January 9, 2019, which ruled, among other things, that the award of counsel fees was payable out of claimant's schedule loss of use award and not out of the employer's reimbursement credit.
Claimant, a correction officer, injured his right knee while undergoing physical training at the New York State Correctional Services Training Academy. He was out of work for a period of time following this incident and filed a claim for workers' compensation benefits. His claim was established for a right knee injury and his average weekly wage was set. During the time that claimant was out of work, his employer, the State, paid him his regular wages and filed a claim for reimbursement with the Workers' Compensation Board.
In November 2017, the Board issued an administrative decision that awarded claimant benefits made payable as a credit to the employer to partially reimburse it for wages that it had paid to claimant while he was out of work. At claimant's request, the Board issued an amended administrative decision identical to the first, but included an award of counsel fees of $700 made payable as a lien on the employer's reimbursement credit, effectively reducing that credit.
Following additional proceedings on the permanency of claimant's condition, the Board found that claimant had a 20% schedule loss of use of the right leg, made an award, less payments already made, and indicated that the employer's reimbursement credit was "less [the] prior attorney's fee

If folks are looking for an alternative DNS host, there is Google Cloud DNS,
which I have been using for a while via Google Domains and it's pretty
awesome. Conceptually similar to Route53. Can use Google Cloud DNS without
using other Google Cloud Platform services.

I'm curious what you're doing that's substantially cheaper with Google Cloud

Lp[a] is a lipoprotein whose plasma concentration has been shown to have a strong correlation with coronary artery disease. The long term objective of the research proposed in this application is to elucidate several specific structural and functional properties of Lp[a] and to gain a clearer understanding of how its three major components (protein, carbohydrate, and lipid) interact. This objective will be approached through four specific aims. The first aim is to isolate apo[a] and apoB from Lp[a

Successful use of somatostatin in a case of neonatal chylothorax.
A 2-week-old infant status postrepair of gastroschisis had spontaneous bilateral chylothoraces necessitating thoracostomy drainage. Voluminous chylous drainage persisted despite cessation of enteral feedings. On administration of the somatostatin analogue octreotide, pleural drainage diminished markedly and ceased entirely within 4 days. These results, along with reported successes in treatment of ch

Sensitivity was better than chance at more peripheral positions from the cue, suggesting that presaccadic attention was not exclusively allocated to the saccade target^[@CR18],[@CR30],[@CR31]^. We attribute his effect to the use of transient discrimination targets. Indeed, to evaluate the deployment of attention in an unstructured visual field we used transient discrimination targets, that to some extent capture by themselves attention^[@CR35],[@CR36]^. With such a protocol, performance was maintained high across space, allowing us to make interpretations only on the modulation of presaccadic attention across conditions, rather than to draw conclusions about the absolute deployment of attention.
We studied the deployment of attention before the execution of saccades across different conditions. Thus, we measured behaviorally the consequences of feedback activations of the priority maps (Frontal Eye Fields ---FEF---, Superior Colliculus ---SC--- and the parietal cortex --LIP--) onto the feature maps (V1-V4) of the visual cortex^[@CR37],[@CR38]^. Different studies indeed have demonstrated strong connectivity between oculomotor and feature maps preceding the execution of a saccade^[@CR39]--[@CR41]^. These studies demonstrated the existence of a strong link between oculomotor and attentional processes. Nevertheless, they did not necessarily support the existence of an activity of the oculomotor system preceding any deployment of attention as suggested by the premotor theory of attention^[@CR10],[@CR11]^. Here, following the offset of visual inputs, we observed a large spread of presaccadic attention that was not accompanied by a spread of the saccade endpoints. We hypothesize that these effects are the consequence of a neural dissociation between visual and motor cells within the priority maps^[@CR42],[@CR43]^. Indeed, it was shown that motor cells within FEF or SC stayed completely silent during an attention task made at fixation^[@CR39],[@CR44],[@CR45]^, while visual and visuo-motor cells displayed sustained attentional effects. Moreover, it has been shown that LIP inactivation can disrupt attentional capabilities while leaving oculomotor processes intact^[@CR46],[@CR47]^, contrary to inactivation of FEF and SC^[@CR48],[@CR49]^, which tend to also disrupt eye movements. If such neural dissociation would explain our findings, the spread of presaccadic attention observed without the presence of the cue could reflect the necessity of constant inputs for the proper precise functioning of visual neurons, on the contrary of visuo-motor and motor cells which

But as a result I would have to define two constructors for each subclass. And were I use the class I would have to add a condition every time while the Locale that we use is the same.
Unfortunate result:
open class AmountKeyListener : BaseKeyListener {
constructor() : super()
@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
constructor(locale: Locale) : super(locale)
}
// usage of the keyListener
editText.keyListener = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) KeyListenerUtil.AmountKeyListener(
MY_LOCALE) else KeyListenerUtil.AmountKeyListener()
The ideal solution should be to assign the AmountKeyListener on a single line and the BaseKeyListener should know when to use our custom locale 'MY_LOCALE'
editText.keyListener = KeyListenerUtil.AmountKeyListener()
How to solve this problem?
A:
The Java solution you linked basically is just ignoring the deprecation and exclusively using the deprecated constructor. I think your last solution is the best one. Its usage is no worse than if you were using DigitsKeyListener directly--you'd still have to be checking the SDK version.
One minor issue I see above is that your first constructor implicitly calls the empty super constructor, and thereby avoids the deprecation warning through what is essentially a language hack. Really, this seems to me to be a bug in the code inspector of Kotlin. I think it would be more appropriate to explicitly call the super constructor and also deprecate this constructor in your own class. So I would make it look like this:
abstract class BaseKeyListener : DigitsKeyListener {
@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
@Deprecated("Use the constructor with a locale if on SDK 26+.")
constructor(): super()
@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
constructor(locale: Locale) : super(locale)
}
This doesn't functionally change how it works, but without deprecating your bare constructor, it becomes very easy to use the deprecated version of DigitsKeyListener everywhere by accident.
And at the usage site, although painful, it would look like you have it above, except you would also put @Suppress("DE

In the German registered design number 1 931 527 (assigned to E. Steinebrunner and Co. Machine Works) a device is described in which tooth brush bristles of a brush can be cut into different lengths without readjusting the machine. This requires a combination of two serated cutting heads, arranged one on top of the other. Therefore, two special serated cutting heads must be combined in a very specific way for each type of brush. A new type of brush with a different arrangement of high and low parts of the bristling material, requires a relatively tedious change in-the arrangement of the combined serated cutting heads, which is time consuming and can only be performed by expert technicians.
The most common, and cost effective method of processing toothbrushes with bristles of varying heights involves using a means of isolating bristles of a particular height during each processing step. Typically, this is done by way of a template, shield or plow to protect non-isolated bristles while the isolated ones are subjected to a processing step.
German Patent application 1 532 773 (assigned to Gottlieb Ebser) discloses a devise having an elongated deflection template (7h) which is moved down upon the head of a toothbrush, deflecting the bristles it contacts away from the select rows of bristles to be isolated. Thus the isolated bristles could be processed without disturbing the deflected bristles. This patent also describes two catch plates (8i and 8h) which wrap around and hug the outer rows of bristles while they are cut to a specific height. This patent appears to be silent on the use of end rounding.
German patent 3 415 870 (assigned to Anton Zahoransky) discloses a machine for treating the tufts of bristles and brushes such as cutting or smoothing them down. In this process pressure is exerted on the outer ends of the longer tufts of bristles by means of a u-shaped cross-sectional pressure piece. (8). Thus, pushing the longer bristles over and leaving them contained within the u-shaped bristle-retaining pressure piece.
European patent 0 078 569 (assigned to G. B. Boucherie, n.v.) relates to a device for separating rows of brush tufts. The devise utilizes a fork-like separator with two knife-like prongs. The fork is introduced through a parallel motion between
