The [SrTiO$_3$]{}/[KTaO$_3$]{} superlattices with two $p$ (hole-doped) interfaces are metallic up to $U_{\text{eff}}=6$ eV as well as in HSEsol. The extra holes are confined in the [SrTiO$_3$]{} layers only. The total $p$ (hole-doped) superlattice magnetization and energy difference between ferromagnetic (FM), antiferromagnetic (AFM) and paramagnetic (PM) states, as a function of $U_{\text{eff}}$, are shown in Fig. \[fig:magvsu\_pandn\] a). The DFT+$U$ calculations were done in a $p$(2x2) supercell to find possible antiferromagnetic orderings. The GGA/LSDA system has a partially spin-polarized FM ground state. A small on-site Coulomb interaction considerably increases the energy difference in favor of magnetic ordering, and results in complete spin polarization of the conduction holes with realistic $U_{\text{eff}}$ values (2 to 5 eV). With the HSEsol hybrid functional, as well, half-metallicity is obtained. The HSEsol FM phase energy is indicated in Fig. \[fig:magvsu\_pandn\] a). This would support choosing $U_{\text{eff}}=4$ eV for our system in the spirit of Hong *et al.* [@hong2012].

Whether it's a 'War on Christmas' or just progressivism run amok, the song 'Baby It's Cold Outside' has been firmly in the crosshairs this holiday season. Here are just a few of the headlines making the rounds:
The left might think they are woke and on the right side of history in the wake of the #MeToo movement — but how shocked do you think they'd be if they knew Glenn beat them to the punch over a decade ago? Don't believe me? Take a listen to this clip from our audio vault from 2008.
Christmas has arrived early for mainstream media. They have their first sentencing of a major player in President Trump's inner circle. Yesterday, Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen was sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan. How did it come to this and how did Cohen explain himself to the judge? We start there next…
President Trump's former attorney, 52-year-old Michael Cohen, is going to jail. Well, it will probably be one of those federal prison camps with a dorm that's more like a college campus. But he's going to be locked up. A federal judge sentenced him to three years in prison for financial crimes, and two months for lying to Congress. He also ordered Cohen to pay $2 million in financial penalties. The judge called Cohen's misdeeds a "veritable smorgasbord of criminal conduct."
As a lawyer, Mr. Cohen should have known better. While Mr. Cohen is taking steps to mitigate his criminal conduct by pleading guilty and volunteering useful information to prosecutors, that does not wipe the slate clean.
Cohen pled guilty in August to eight criminal charges in two different cases. One brought by special counsel Robert Muller for Cohen's lying to Congress about a potential Trump Tower project in Moscow. The second was for bank-fraud, tax, and campaign finance violations brought by federal prosecutors in New York.
President Trump said recently that Cohen has simply been lying to get a reduced sentence for crimes that have nothing to do with him. Cohen was very emotional as he apologized to the judge, saying:
It was my own weakness and a blind loyalty to this man that led me to choose a path of darkness over light. Time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds rather than to listen to my own inner voice and my moral compass.
The left thinks that Cohen's sentencing marks the beginning of the end for

1. The Parties
The plaintiff in this action, Robert Rios ("Rios"), is a Deputy in the Broward County, Florida Sheriff's Office. Complaint, ¶ 1. The defendants are Navarro, the Sheriff of Broward County, Florida, and employees of his office. Complaint, ¶¶ 2-7. Rios, to this date, is still employed as a deputy sheriff in Broward County. Complaint, ¶ 9.
2. General Allegations
The complaint alleges that the defendants engaged in a conspiracy to injure Rios in his professional employment. See, e.g. Complaint, ¶¶ 83-84. The plaintiff further alleges that this conspiracy lasted over several years, and consumed several instances.
Specifically, Rios alleges that after he determined that a vehicle seized in a police operation should be released, several defendants altered the Rios' authorization slip to reflect that it was held for confiscation and erroneously released by the Rios. Complaint, ¶¶ 21-30. After several defendants conducted an investigation of the plaintiff, they concluded that the plaintiff had the authority to release the vehicle. Complaint, ¶¶ 32-54.
The complaint further alleges that one defendant attempted to interfere with an investigation conducted by the state attorney of the other defendants' actions in the above matter. After the state attorney recommended that the sheriff handle the matter administratively, no investigation was conducted by the sheriff. Complaint, ¶¶ 55-59.
The complaint also states that because certain defendants misused polygraphs *1160 which resulted in the dismissal of charges against other individuals, Rios was the subject of numerous administrative violations. In addition, Rios was later accused by a female inmate of sexual misconduct while the plaintiff administered a polygraph test to the inmate. After an administrative hearing, the sheriff's complaint review board voted in favor of Rios. Complaint, ¶¶ 60-77.
In essence, Rios complains that he was subject to a continuing barrage of complaints within the sheriff's office. Further, the plaintiff states that the other defendants received promotions or raises from the sheriff. Complaint, ¶¶ 78-79.
3. § 1983 Allegations
Count One of the complaint states that the plaintiff was deprived by the defendants, under color of state law, of the following rights:
(1) Freedom from deprivation of liberty without due process of law;
(2) Freedom to live and work as (plaintiff) desires;
(3) Freedom to pursue a livelihood and vacation without any stigma,

_The Q twitter account_
Q doesn’t use Twitter. Q has stated numerous times any communication outside

Q uses 8chan? Wow. Didn't realize that. 8chan is full of basically straight up
white nationalist fascism, or that's what I thought. I recall it making 4chan
look tame.

What really scares me about the chans is that during the government shutdowns
the anti-black posts completely stopped. /pol/ is normally littered with them
as well as other kinds of racist garbage, but it was the black ones alone that
just vanished. After the shutdowns they returned immediately. Who on earth is
being paid to do this and why?
~~~
api
Haha. You've never worked in government. There are buildings of people paid to
do nothing, where "nothing" often includes spewing shit on Internet boards and
social media sites. When they are off they are out doing other things.
Sounds like the vanguard of the master race need to get a real job.

From October 28 to Jan 4, Q was a MILINT insider very close to the President.
He provided ironclad proofs of this:
\- he predicted the President's Twitter going down.
\- he predicted the upheavals in Saudi Arabia.
\- he predicted the Pope would want to change the Lord's Prayer.
\- he predicted a bombing attempt by a Bangladeshi national in NYC.

The basal ganglia play a major role in the control of normal movement and coordination. Lesions of the basal ganglia result in movement disorders ranging from severe akinesia, rigidity and tremor to dystonia, chorea and ballismus. The symptomatology in any particular individual or disease process depends on the distinct subgroups of neurons affected. The inhibitory amino acid GABA, is the neurotransmitter for the vast majority of striatal, pallidal and substantia nigra neurons, excitatory amino acids (E

Adsorption of binary mixtures onto activated carbon Norit R1 for the system nitrogen-methane-carbon dioxide was investigated over the pressure range up to 15 MPa. A new model is proposed to describe the experimental data. It is based on the assumption that an activated carbon can be characterized by the distribution function of elements of adsorption volume (EAV) over the solid-fluid potential. This function may be evaluated from pure component isotherms using the equality of the chemical potentials in the adsorbed

Preparation of tea brew {#Sec5}
-----------------------
Tea brew was prepared according to the conventional method. Deonized water (500 ml) was boiled in a glass beaker placed on a hot plate. At the onset of boiling, heating was terminated and the tea leaves (5.0 g) were added to boiled water. The beaker was then covered with a watch glass. Magnetic stirrer was used at a constant speed to maintain a homogenous sample. A volume of 1.0 ml was withdrawn at different time intervals (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20 min) and centrifuged. The supernatant was assayed for their phenolic and flavonoid content by spectrophotometry. Gallic acid, caffeine, epicatechin and epigallocatechin gallate were quantified by Reversed Phase High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). Antioxidant activity was assayed by DPPH radical scavenging and Ferric reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) methods.
Determination of phenolic content {#Sec6}
---------------------------------
Total phenolic content was determined by Folin Ciocalteu method \[[@CR26]\]. Samples (25 μl) were diluted up to 1500 μl with deionized water. Folin Ciocalteu's reagent (1 N, 250 μl) was added to the samples (500 μl), and the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 min. Sodium carbonate solution (10 %, 1.25 ml) was then added and incubated for 45 min in the dark at room temperature. The absorbance of the resulting solution was measured at 760 nm against a blank prepared with deionized water. Calibration curves were constructed with gallic acid and (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) standards. The total phenolic content was expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) mg/g of tea leaves as well as EGCG equivalents mg/g of tea leaves. Tea samples brewed independently were analyzed in replicates (*n* = 6).
Determination of flavonoid content {#Sec7}
----------------------------------
The flavonoid content was measured by the aluminum chloride colorimetric assay \[[@CR27]\]. Tea brew (25 μl) collected at different time intervals were diluted with deionized water up to 500 μl and mixed with sodium nitrite (5 %, 30 μl). After 5

Pulsar wind nebula
A pulsar wind nebula (PWN, plural PWNe), sometimes called a plerion (derived from the Greek "πλήρης", pleres, meaning "full"), is a type of nebula found inside the shells of supernova remnants (SNRe) that is powered by pulsar winds generated by its central pulsar. These nebulae were discovered in 1976 as small depressions at radio wavelengths near the centre of supernova remnants. They have since been found to be X-ray emitters and are possibly gamma ray sources.
Evolution of pulsar wind nebulae
Processes creating pulsar wind nebulae are complicated and they evolve through various phases before creating a so-called relic nebula, which is visible as a wind bubble, shell nebula, or as a bow-shock. New plerions appear within the first few thousands of years of a pulsar's creation, and often look like a series of shells inside the supernova remnant, for example the small pulsar wind nebula within the inner region of the Crab Nebula, or the nebula within the large Vela Supernova Remnant and its associated Vela Pulsar.
As the plerion ages, the nebulosity of the supernova remnant dissipates and disappears. Over time, pulsar wind nebulae may change in behaviour and become relic nebulae surrounding millisecond radio pulsars or even older and slower rotating pulsars. Plerions are estimated to last around 15,000 years, after which the shell dissipates as the energies from the pulsar decreases and they are no longer detectable. Importantly, this depends on the rate of energy lost by the pulsar as its spin rate slows, which varies among the known pulsars.
Properties of pulsar wind nebulae
Pulsar winds are composed of charged particles (plasma) accelerated to relativistic speeds by the rapidly rotating, hugely powerful magnetic fields above that are generated by the spinning pulsar. The pulsar wind often streams into the surrounding interstellar medium, creating a standing shock wave called the 'wind termination shock', where matter is decelerated to sub-relativistic speed. Beyond this radius, synchrotron emission increases in the magnetized flow. These processes can switch on and off with many reversals, and this creates the numerous visible shells centred on the pulsar.

If the Sun were a uniform, homogeneous sphere producing energy and emitting particles (e.g. neutrinos) at a constant, uniform rate, and the observed periodicities were due solely to the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, then the expected phase of decay data would be either perihelion ($\sim$January 4) or aphelion ($\sim$July 4) depending on the (as yet unknown) dynamics of the decay progress. However, most of the nuclides for which measured decay data are currently available exhibit a phase closer to mid-February, rather than January 4. Hence our first task is to understand the origin of the mid-February phase. In Ref. [@stu11] we propose that this phase arises from a combination of two annually varying effects: the $1/R^2$ variation arising from the ellipticity of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, and a North-South (latitudinal) asymmetry in neutrino production or propagation occurring in the Sun itself, for which there is considerable independent evidence [@mas96; @stu98; @dor00; @gon00; @riv00; @zha05]. This phase shift from perihelion has been seen in the phase determinations of two major solar neutrino observatories, as described in Refs. [@smy04; @aha05; @hos06; @ran07].
As we note in Ref.[@stu11] the North-South asymmetry effect alone would yield a phase $\sim$March 10 (or September 10) due to the $7^\circ$ tilt of the solar axis of rotation relative to the ecliptic. In this picture the mid-February phase would then result by combining the $1/R^2$ effect ($\sim$ January 4) and the North-South asymmetry (March 10) with appropriate relative weights. Since any North-South asymmetry would be expected to be a variable feature on the Sun, varying during the $\sim$11 year solar cycle, this could account for the variation in phase in $^{36}$Cl between the BNL data set (from 1982-1990) and the OSURR data set (2005-2011).
As we discuss elsewhere, there are other periodicities present in various decay data that we have examined, including a rotational signal at $\sim$32 days [@stu10a; @stu10b], and a Rieger-like periodicity at 2.11 yr$^{-1}$ [@stu

CURTIS WAYNE SMITH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 262nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 950676
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Curtis Wayne Smith, appellant, entered a plea of nolo contendere to a felony
charge of aggravated assault
without an agreed recommendation for punishment.
The trial court found appellant guilty and assessed punishment at three years in
prison. In three issues, appellant argues that (1) the trial court abused its discretion
in accepting appellant’s plea after appellant stated he did not believe he was guilty;
(2) appellant’s trial counsel was ineffective for allowing appellant to plead nolo
contendere after appellant stated he did not believe he was guilty; and (3) appellant’s
trial counsel was ineffective because he failed to zealously urge appellant’s
innocence.
We affirm.
Factual and Procedural Background
This is a case of road rage. Appellant pulled out of a parking lot and onto the
feeder road of a highway. In doing so, appellant entered the flow of traffic directly
in front of a Harris County constable, who was driving his personal car. The
constable changed lanes, passed appellant’s van, then cut in front of appellant.
Appellant passed the constable and slammed on his brakes in front of the constable’s
car. According to appellant’s statement, the constable made a rude gesture, and,
when appellant started driving again, the constable followed him, riding his bumper
and switching lanes, scaring appellant. At some point, appellant stopped in a parking
lot, got out of his van holding a crowbar, and came up to the constable’s car.
Appellant struck the constable’s car with his hand several times and yelled to the
constable, “Get out, I’m going to kick your a** for following me.” The constable
called for police assistance; appellant got back into his van and drove away; and the
constable followed. Appellant again stopped his van and told the constable he would
“kick a** if you don’t stop following me.” The constable

All of those rent-control incentivized arsons... empty lots with garbage
everywhere... dogs running around with no owners visible.
Edit: correction, while rent-control played a big role in Brooklyn's housing
abandonment rate, South Bronx faced a variety of factors in addition to rent
control:
> For example, housing abandonment in the South Bronx, probably the most
> devastated area in the entire city, can be plausibly related to the
> economics of an obsolete housing stock. The area was one of the most densely
> populated in the country in the 1940s and 1950s, and the housing stock
> consists almost entirely of five- and six-story walkups. As population
> density decreased, fifth- and sixth-story walkup apartments became
> unrentable at prices sufficient for sound building maintenance, irrespective
> of rent controls. Arson eventually became the owners' only financially
> rewarding alternative.

Childbearing postponement is increasingly relevant to demographic trends. Although most European countries have registered a similar decrease in fertility rates of young women, they significantly differ by the intensity of fertility recuperation, i.e. compensatory increase in fertility rates of women at a higher age above 30 \[[@B9]\]. As a result, a large cross-country variation in current fertility rates exists \[[@B5]\]. Accordingly, there is a tendency to reconsider public policies related to fertility and assisted reproductive technology (ART) support at national levels as well as within the EU: ART policies have definitely become much discussed topics \[[@B10]\]. Moreover ART treatments have generated important policy questions regarding their cost-effectiveness and safety \[[@B11]\].
ART use widely varies among European countries: despite the fact that some European countries do not provide complete statistics on ART, in 2009 the average number of treatment cycles per 1 million inhabitants ranged from 166 in Moldova to 2726 in Denmark \[[@B12]\]. Since it is rather improbable that countries would significantly differ regarding the share of infertile couples within their populations, the wide range in ART use may result from an unequal access to it \[[@B13],[@B14]\]. It was estimated that while circa 3000 couples per 1 million inhabitants may be eligible for ART, only half of them do request it \[[@B15],[@B16]\]. Provided that each couple needs on average more than one treatment cycle, the real need would exceed 2500 cycles. In 2009, Denmark, Iceland, and Belgium ranked above this estimated number while other European countries ranked well below it. Scandinavian countries met levels of utilization that approximated demand \[[@B13]\] while most European countries have probably not met the rising need for ART yet. However financial, medical, psychosocial, moral or ethical grounds may distinctly affect the use of infertility treatments in compared countries \[[@B17]\].
The core of our paper is not a mere cross-country comparison of ART utilization but does focus on searching for a relationship between the increased use of ART and fertility trends. While the impact of childbearing postponement on the fertility rate and ART demand has been analysed and discussed \[[@B18],[@B10]-[@B21]\], the impact of ART increasing use on both the fertility rate and birth timing has not been studied comprehensively. Our research goal was to evaluate the demographic potential of ART increasing use in relation to childbearing postponement. Consequently ART higher use is expected in countries with a higher fertility rate and a delayed fertility pattern. Nevertheless findings are interpreted with caution as both the fertility

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the accurate positioning of assays with respect to reading apparatuses. More specifically, the present invention relates to a carousel on which a plurality of disposable cartridges containing solid-phase assays are expediently positioned with minimal effort to a high degree of accuracy with respect to an optical reading apparatus through a series of locating nubs and tabs.
Solid-phase procedures and apparatuses for performing immunoassays in general and enzyme immunoassays in particular are generally well known in the art. These immunoassays can be performed on biological samples such as blood, spinal fluid, urine, serum, and plasma, to name a few. One particularly cost effective apparatus which has been developed and adapted for use in conjunction with solid-phase procedures to perform a variety of assays (such as sandwich and competitive assays) is a disposable assay cartridge having a plurality of wells, with at least one reaction well. The reaction well generally contains a fibrous matrix positioned across its entrance and an absorbent material positioned below the fibrous matrix. Microparticles, contained in or introduced into the fibrous matrix, react with a sample and an analyte-containing reagent which have been added to the reaction well to form an immobilized complex on the matrix. The excess sample and reagent are washed through the matrix and captured in the absorbent material below.
The resulting assay may be read using known optical detection apparatuses. For example, using conventional solid-phase procedures, the analyte can be labelled or tagged with a fluorophor which, when excited by light of a known wavelength, fluoresces and emits light at a second known wavelength. The intensity of the emitted light is indicative of the concentration of the analyte in the biological sample. A conventional fluorometer is suitable for illuminating the fibrous matrix with a beam of light having the appropriate excitation wavelength. The fluorometer also detects the intensity of the light at the emission wavelength. Assays using this type of solid-phase technology have been found to provide a high degree of sensitivity.
Disposable assay cartridges such as those described above are particularly well suited for use in automated assay preparation and reading equipment. Due to the high degree of sensitivity of assays using the fibrous matrix technology, it is imperative in such automated equipment that the assay-containing reaction well of each and every cartridge be positioned with a high degree of accuracy in each of three dimensions with respect to the optical reading apparatus in order to ensure that the readings have a repeatable high degree of accuracy.
The assays must not only be precisely positioned, they must be effortlessly

Nordwestmecklenburg (Northwestern Mecklenburg) is a Kreis (district) in the north-western part of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is situated on the coast of the Baltic Sea and borders on Schleswig-Holstein to the west. Neighboring districts are (from east clockwise) Rostock, Ludwigslust-Parchim and the district-free city Schwerin, and the district Lauenburg and the district-free city Lübeck in Schleswig-Holstein. The district seat is the town Wismar.
Geography
The district is roughly situated in a triangle between the towns of Lübeck, Rostock and Schwerin.
In the north there is the coast of the Baltic Sea with the small island of Poel.
Lakes
Two large lakes are partially situated in Nordwestmecklenburg: the eastern half of the Schaalsee (23 km²) at the western border; and the northern half of the Schweriner See (63 km²) in the south, as well as two smaller lakes, Bibowee (0.79 km²) and Mechower See (1.6 km²).
History
Nordwestmecklenburg District was established in 1994 by merging the previous districts of Gadebusch, Grevesmühlen and Wismar; along with smaller parts of the districts of Sternberg and Schwerin-Land. In the 2011 district reform, it was merged with the formerly district-free town Wismar. The name of the district was decided by referendum on 4 September 2011.

Introduction
============
Elliptic quantum groups [@F] are the algebraic structure underlying quantum integrable models of statistical mechanics involving elliptic functions, and the $q$-deformation of conformal field theory on elliptic curves.
The basic object, appearing in the presentation of elliptic quantum groups by quadratic relations, is a “dynamical $R$-matrix”, a solution of a modification of the Yang–Baxter equation. This $R$-matrix depends on the spectral parameter and on an additional parameter lying in the Cartan subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra. The usual Yang–Baxter equation is obtained in the limit when the latter parameter tends to infinity. However, for elliptic solutions, a limit exists only in trigonometric degenerations.
In this paper we start a study of the representation theory of elliptic quantum groups of type $A_{N-1}$, and give some applications. We construct, using the fusion procedure [@KRS; @C; @JKMO], analogues of the symmetric and exterior powers of the vector representation of $gl_N$. Out of these representations, and their tensor products, one can construct new dynamical $R$-matrices. Taking partial traces of these $R$-matrices gives rise to families of commuting difference operators. In a special case, we recover the Ruijsenaars system [@R] of difference operators, which is the difference (or “relativistic”) analogue of the Calogero–Moser integrable system of differential operators. In particular, we obtain a simpler proof of the commutativity of Ruijsenaars operators, in the case of integer coupling constant. For more general representations, one obtains some “spin generalizations” of Ruijsenaars operators.
The transfer matrix associated to the top exterior power turns out to be related to the quantum determinant, a difference operator which is central in the “operator algebra” associated to the elliptic quantum group.
In previous papers [@FV4; @FV5], a dynamical version of the Bethe ansatz was developed, and the algebraic integrability of the Ruijsenaars model was proved in the $A_1$ case. It is likely that a dynamical version of the “nested” Bethe ansatz (a recursive Bet

Criminal Justice Education in New Hampshire
There are 10 schools in New Hampshire that offer criminal justice degree programs. Some of these are two-year associates programs; others are four-year bachelor's programs in criminal justice educaiton. A couple of schools also offer masters programs with an emphasis on online studies. This allows those already pursuing criminal justice careers to seek advancement while maintaining their current positions. Masters degrees often open doors to management and administrative positions in law enforcement, probation and parole, forensics, and criminal investigations.
Students enrolling in a four-year degree program will take basic required courses in math, English and science. In addition to the core curriculum, some electives can be taken, especially in years two and three. A variety of criminal justice courses will round out a student's coursework. Such courses will often be similar to those listed here:
Basics of Criminal Law
Criminal Justice Research Methods
U.S. Courts and Legal System
Ethics Studies in Criminal Justice
American Racial Relations
Conducting Legal Research
In addition to the coursework, a semester out in the field will usually occur during one's Junior year. The fourth and final year in criminal justice education will usually consist mostly of an off-site internship related to the student's selected criminal justice specialty.
If you are concerned about paying for school, you may want to visit this page to learn more about criminal justice scholarships.
Also, The New Hampshire Incentive Program, the Leveraged Incentive Grants and the Granite State Scholars are just three financial aid programs worth looking into. If you need funding for your criminal justice education, it's also worth consulting your future college and university counselors for school-specific scholarships.
Outlook for Criminal Justice in New Hampshire
Criminal justice degrees are especially valuable in the fields of protective services and legal aid, two fields in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipated an 11 percent growth from 2010 to 2020. According to data compiled in May 2012 by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), law enforcement officers in New Hampshire are paid an average annual salary of about $49,450. The national average is $55,010. Detectives and criminal investigators earn an average of $69,360 in New Hampshire. Correctional officers receive an average of $40,130 on an annual basis. Supervisory personnel earn a significant amount more. For example, first-

On
rehearing, the attorney general argues that Mallory=s recitation is Ainconsistent with personal knowledge@ and cites Dailey v. Albertson=s, Inc., 83 S.W.3d 222 (Tex. App.CEl Paso 2002, no pet.), for the
proposition that the defect is one of substance and so may be raised for the
first time on appeal. In Dailey, the affiant recited that the facts in
his affidavit were based on his personal knowledge, but the content of the
affidavit affirmatively showed that he lacked personal knowledge. See id. at
227. Here, Mallory stated in his motion that he received the attached notice
of hearing from the attorney general, a matter clearly within his personal
knowledge. Further, the attorney general does not dispute that the attached
notice was the notice he sent, and he does not contend that he sent any other
notices to Mallory. Although the attorney general cites additional
authorities, none of them hold that a complaint about the recitation of
personal knowledge in a verification may be made for the first time on appeal.
For this reason, we overrule the attorney general=s motion for rehearing.
We next turn to the substance of this
appeal. In his second issue, Mallory argues that the trial court erred in
denying his motion for new trial and failing to set aside the default judgment
because he did not receive proper notice of the potential for a disposition of
his case or default setting. We agree that the notice sent to Mallory did not give him proper notice
that his case could be determined on the merits or a final default judgment
taken in his absence. The trial court abused its discretion in denying the
motion for new trial.
A trial court=s order denying a
motion to set aside a default judgment or for new trial is reviewed under an
abuse-of-discretion standard. Strackbein v. Prewitt, 671 S.W.2d 37, 38

Work starts in £15m plan to get Concorde flying again - abstractbill

Air transport is one area where technology has seemingly stagnated, or even
reversed. Airliners seem pretty much the same as when I was a kid. You
certainly don't get to your destination any faster. There have been
improvements -- aircraft such as the 787 are built with light and strong
composites; the A380 is the biggest airliner ever; low cost carriers have
driven down prices; you can get WiFi on certain flights. But you're not going
any faster, or traveling any more comfortably.
Compare that to the period from 1955 - 1975. Jets entered commercial service,
displacing slow and noisy gas-powered propeller planes. The Concorde made its
first flight in 1969, entering service shortly after. The US had its own
supersonic airliners on the drawing board. There were even proposals for
hypersonic transports. We ended up getting stuck with cosmetically identical
jetliners and a series of unmanned hypersonic test vehicles. Remarkable feats
like SpaceShipOne are few and far between.
Aerospace technology relies on inspiration. "Because we can" used to be a
large motivator. It's tough to get around economic or military reality, but at
the same time it's sad to see fewer mind-blowing engineering achievements.
Most of us couldn't afford a Concorde ticket, but I bet there were plenty of
people who still thought it was damn cool.

I _just_ had a thought... could a nuclear powered aircraft be possible? With
some form of electric turbines? Even if the thing could only land at a couple
airports, it could easily serve as a bulk transport for people / equipment to
get part-way to their destination. I mean, it'd have to be _huge_...
I mean, sure, people would _freak_ about a flying reactor, if only on
principle. But that sort of thing dies down with time.

Discussion {#sec026}
==========
Caregiver burden, defined in this study as *'the extent to which caregivers perceive that caregiving has had an adverse effect on their emotional, social, financial, physical, and spiritual functioning \[[@pntd.0007487.ref025]\]',* was evident in the caregivers of those affected by podoconiosis and ADLA in Wayu Tuka *woreda*.
Consistently, caregivers reported the significant financial impact of acute attacks on covering healthcare costs and the pressure these recurrent costs placed on family finances for other necessities such as clothes, food and children's education. The ability to earn a wage was not only restricted in those directly affected by podoconiosis and ADLA but also in caregivers, who remained at home to care for them. Furthermore, resources that caregivers were able to accumulate were being periodically drained to cover healthcare costs, preventing caregivers, and podoconiosis-affected families, from being able to progress, or keep up with, others in their community. The emotional worry caregivers reported related directly to the financial pressure they were placed under, as well as concern for their affected relative. These findings are supported by those of Perera et al (2007) in participants with lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Sri Lanka \[[@pntd.0007487.ref035]\]. Participants reported the devastating impact of LF on household income--this comprised of loss of earnings through their inability to work, loss of earnings of family members who stayed at home to care for them or carry out other household tasks and the burden of recurrent medication costs \[[@pntd.0007487.ref035]\]. Children, as in our study, were held back from school to help with work. The notion of being unable to progress was also noted; '*for some participants*, *the presence of a member with LF had been a hindrance to family progress*, *rather than a cause of poverty*, *holding the family finances back when they could have achieved an improved standard of living*' \[[@pntd.0007487.ref035]\].
It was apparent from our study that, despite clear recognition of when healthcare was required and trust in the local clinic, participants simply could not afford to pay the required costs for medicines needed during an episode of ADLA. Potentially compounding this was the very high incidence of attacks reported by caregivers. Occurring as frequently as every 2--3 days, with an average of 6 attacks per month (see [supporting information](#sec028){ref-type="sec"}),

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is generally concerned with the display packaging in which an eyeglass lens is usually supplied to a practitioner.
2. Description of the Prior Art
At present this packaging is usually a case similar to a jewel case.
The case has a box body which encloses a packing member including a recess in which the eyeglass lens is placed and a lid hinged to the body.
A case of this kind is satisfactory and may continue to be so.
It does have the following drawbacks, however.
Firstly, the eyeglass lens is to some degree embedded in its housing with the result that it is difficult to extract it so that it can be held in the hand.
In practise it is extremely difficult if not impossible to extract it in the correct way, holding it only by its edge.
One or more fingers usually come unintentionally into contact with one or other of the main surfaces of the lens with the virtually inevitable risk of soiling them.
Also, for the eyeglass lens to be visible in the packaging the lid is usually made from a transparent and therefore relatively costly material, so increasing the overall cost of the packaging.
Cases, boxes, containers and packaging suitable for displaying diverse products are known from the following patents, for example: U.S. Pat. No. 2,262,472, U.S. Pat. No. 3,635,335, EP-A-0 021 900, U.S. Pat. No. 3,233,953, FR-A-572 743 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,289,823.
Document U.S. Pat. No. 2,262,472 describes a display container intended for use as a necklace presentation case, for example, and including a plate adapted to receive the necklace and in practise having a semicircular contour and two half-shells pivoting at the edge of the plate about a pivot axis generally perpendicular to the plate, each moving between a closed position in which they are juxtaposed and together form a protective shell around the plate and an open position in which they uncover the plate.
The wig case described in document U.S. Pat. No. 3,289,823 is very similar.
None of these patent documents is formally directed to the display of an eyeglass lens and none of the cases, boxes, containers or packaging which are the subject matter of

The album was a commercial failure and did not register on the Billboard album chart. It had sold less than 10,000 copies before her next album release. One single release from the album appeared on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 Pop Singles chart belatedly in 1971, after the release of Ronstadt's follow-up album, Silk Purse. Edwards' "The Long Way Around" was the B-side to a single-only release of "(She's A) Very Lovely Woman." The latter song was never subsequently included on an album and was not released on CD until 2009. The double-sided single peaked at #70 in 1971. Both songs made the Cash Box singles chart as well.
Despite lack of chart success, Hand Sown... helped Ronstadt gain exposure on television variety specials and in live performances, including a June 1969 appearance on The Johnny Cash Show where she performed "Only Mama That'll Walk the Line" nearly a year before the song's originator, Waylon Jennings performed his version on the same series. Of particular note is her performance of one of Hand Sown'''s songs, a cover of the country standard "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line," renamed "[ Only Mama...]," on October 3, 1970, at the Big Sur Folk Festival in Monterey, California.Hand Sown ... Home Grown features an early version of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles," a cover of a 1962 hit by the Springfields. Ronstadt would record the song again for the 1973 Gold-certified album Don't Cry Now'', a single release of which would reach the Top 20 of Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in early 1974. The album features an array of backing musicians including Clarence White of The Byrds, Bernie Leadon (later a founding member of The Eagles), Red Rhodes, and Larry Knechtel.
Track listing
On the original LP, side one was called "Hand Sown" and side two was called "Home Grown" as indicated.

Transformations of Eq. (21) for an easier numerical computation {#demo}
===============================================================
#### Substraction
Using $$\int_0^\infty J_0(x) dx =1$$ $I[f]$ may be rewritten $$I[f] = 1 - \int_0^\infty J_0(x) \, (1-f(x)) dx\;.$$ The convergence is faster, as $1-f \rightarrow 0$ when $x
\rightarrow \infty$.
#### Integration by part
Using the identity $(xJ_1)' = xJ_0$ and integrating by parts, one has $$I[f]
= -\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \left[ J_1(x) f(x) \right]
+\int_0^\infty J_1(x) \,
\left( \frac{f(x)}{x} - f'(x)\right) dx\;.$$ Using the identity $J_0' = -J_1$ and integrating by parts again, $$I[f] = -\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \left[ J_1(x) f(x) \right]
+\left[J_0(x)\left(\frac{f(x)}{x}-f'(x)\right)
\right]^\infty_0
+\int_0^\infty J_0(x) \,
\left(f''(x) - \frac{f'(x)}{x} + \frac{f(x)}{x^2} \right)
dx\;.$$ These expressions provide several efficient alternatives to evaluate $I[f]$, provided the integrated terms are well defined, i.e. if $$f(x) = A + B x \ln x + {\cal O}(x)$$
#### Comparison to a known function
Part of the difficulty to evaluate numerically the Bessel expansions comes from the fact that the original functions are singular at the source position. As a result, the large $k$ modes continue to be important to reconstruct the solution. We can take advantage of the fact that the singularity is known, as the density is quite close to the free diffusion case $f_{\rm ref}(r)=1/4\pi

The Beauty in the Two-Week Notice
Even if your boss wasn’t the most gracious in giving deadlines, your ample notice of resignation will be a gift to your coworkers who’ll likely have to shoulder the load in your absence if a replacement isn’t found before your departure. Remember, there is no “I” in team.
Established a good rapport with those you’ve shared a parking deck with during your stint at your company? They’ll likely want to celebrate your new beginnings. A last hurrah after work is a networking opportunity in disguise, as many of your coworkers will likely want to keep in touch with you (added bonus – LinkedIn buddies!).
Giving two-weeks’ notice graciously can also allot time to speak with HR to find out about things like: payouts for unused vacation days, COBRA benefits to bridge your coverage if there is a lag in the time for open enrollment at your new gig, and implementing your suggestions for improvement via the exit interview.
Training the new “You”
Now that you’ve submitted your notice to separate (in writing), use this as an opportunity to add to your repertoire and resume!
You may not realize how much you contributed to your organization until you’ve created the training agenda for the new “you.” Listing all of your responsibilities not only validates your capabilities (GO YOU!), it can also be used as leverage for a counteroffer at your new employer or a great incentive to update your resume. Another plus – this list may highlight areas where there are gaps in your skillset that you can, ideally, develop in your new gig.
You are the expert when it comes to your role so be sure to impart this knowledge to the person replacing you. Remember all of those times you wanted to bang your head into your desk from frustration? Be generous in doling out the metaphorical Excedrin by providing thorough training to your proxy.
Perks of professionalism
Who doesn’t love having proof of how fantastic they are? Good news! Your willingness to work out your two-week notice and train your replacement, just might move your former boss to pen you a letter of recommendation that will last throughout the ages.
ASK for a letter of recommendation as you are closing up shop if your boss hasn’t mentioned it – chances are they will be happy to write one for you!
Don’t be the person to eat and run.

Restoring Bletchley Park: birthplace of modern computing - canistr

I've been to Bletchley Park about 3 times now. It is staggeringly amazing what
went on there, when you think of the effort those people went through and
their contribution to the war. It must have been incredibly painful to let
people die rather than run the risk of the Germans knowing that the codes were
broken.
If you ever come to the UK from abroad, you can get a train from Euston
Station (zone 1 on the underground) to Milton Keynes and from there head to
Bletchley Park. It's well worth a day trip for the serious geek/hacker type.

I just did this about a month ago, and it couldn't be easier to get from
London to Bletchley Park, it's literally right up the road from the Milton
Keynes train station, maybe a two minute walk.
Getting to Down House (Darwin's House) from London, on the other hand, while
totally worthwhile... what a hassle!

The objective of this project is to develop new candidate vaccines to elicit protective immune responses to HIV. Although antibodies that neutralize primary isolates of HIV-1 appear during HIV-1 infection, there has been difficulty in eliciting such antibodies by immunization with vaccines comprised of soluble HIV-1 Env antigens. Thus, a new form of antigen which closely resembles the virions present during infection may be more likely to elicit effective neutralizing antibodies to multiple HIV subtypes. We have demonstrated the production of SIV and SHIV

spectral radius monotonicity
I encountered an inequality when reading a paper. Can someone help to show how to prove it?
Let be the spectral radius of matrix $A$ or $\rho(A)=\max\{|\lambda|, \lambda \text{ are eigenvalues of matrix }A\}$. For matrices $S$ and $T$ with positive spectral radii, and two arbitrary real positive numbers $a$ and $b$, such that $\rho(S) < a < b$ Is the following inequality true?
$$b\rho((bI-S)^{-1}T) \leq a\rho((aI-S)^{-1}T)$$
If the above is not true in general, will it be true if $S$ and $T$ are non-negative matrices?
A:
Not true in general, as noted by @SergeiIvanov, but true for (element-wise) nonnegative matrices.
Note that if $\rho(S) < b$, then $b(bI-S)^{-1}=(I-\frac{S}{b})^{-1}=\sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{S^i}{b^i}$. In particular, thanks to this expansion, if $\rho(S)< a < b$, then $b(bI-S)^{-1}< a(aI-S)^{-1}$ in the componentwise ordering, and thus also $b(bI-S)^{-1}T \leq a(aI-S)^{-1}T$ for any nonnegative $T$. Now, it is a part of the Perron-Frobenius theorem that for any $A,B$ with $0 \leq A \leq B$ then $\rho(A) \leq \rho(B)$, and that's all we need here.
A:
Update. This answer answers completely different question, see comments. Namely "positive" is substituted by "positive definite", norm is used instead of spectral radius, and quantifiers are different.
Not true in general: take $S=T=-I$. Then the inequality boils down to $\frac{b}{b+1}<\frac{a}{a+1}$ which is always false for $b>a>1$.
For positive symmetric matrices, yes. Fix $a$ and let $b\to+\infty$. The l.h.s equals to $\rho((I-\frac1bS)^{-

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact imaging technique based on principles of low-coherence interferometry.14 Its high axial resolution allows better delineation of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea. Time-domain anterior segment OCT systems capable of generating pachymetry (corneal thickness) maps have been reported.15,16 However, time-domain OCT still suffers from slow speed which makes it susceptible to eye movements during image acquisition.
Recently, a newer generation of OCT known as Fourier-domain OCT (FD-OCT) has been made available. This new generation of OCT has acquisition speeds 10-100 times faster than time-domain OCT systems.17-19 The very high scan speed may minimize the effect of eye movement during data acquisition while obtain dense sample points over the cornea. Although promising, acquiring and analyzing data using FD-OCT is not trivial. No known method of using FD-OCT to generate corneal epithelial and/or stromal map has heretofore been reported.
In view of the above, there still exists a need for a fast, reliable, and convenient method that is suitable for clinical measurement of corneal epithelium and/or stromal properties such as thickness and refractive power. There are many clinical utilities for such measurements. One particular application that can benefit from such a method is keratoconus.
Keratoconus is an important contraindication for refractive surgeries such as LASIK. Undetected corneal ectatic disorders can result in accelerated, progressive keratoectasia and produces poor vision that cannot be corrected with spectacles.
The National Eye Institute reports that keratoconus is the most common corneal dystrophy in the United. States, affecting approximately 1 in 2,000 Americans, but some reports place the figure as high as 1 in 500. In keratoconus, the normally round basketball-shaped cornea progressively thins and becomes football shaped causing a cone-like bulge to develop, and slight blurring and distortion of vision and increased sensitivity to light in its earliest stages. In later stages, it causes decreased visual acuity and significant visual impairment, which makes simple tasks, like driving, watching TV or reading a book nearly impossible.
Moderate to advanced keratoconus is easily recognizable by several distinctive clinical features, but the diagnosis of early stage keratoconus can be very challenging.22 Surgeons learned to better recognize the early stage keratoconus (referred to as forme fruste keratoconus or FFK in medical literature

In the late 19th century through early 20th century Adrian was known as the "fence capital of the world," when J. Wallace Page invented the first successful wire fence. Throughout this period, Adrian was one of the first fencing manufacturers in the world and its fences were shipped as far as New York, Berlin, Asia, and Africa. The company sponsored the highly successful Page Fence Giants black baseball team.
One of the first motor vehicles, the Lion automobile, was created in Adrian. Between 1900 and 1912, Adrian was shaping up to be one of the motor capitals of the world, with three car models manufactured in Adrian during those 12 years. But due to some unfortunate turn of events, it never came to be.
The first two were the Murry Motor Car and Lenawee Car: both made by the Church Manufacturing Company. Although the cars were a hit at the 1910 Chicago Automobile show and they sold hundreds of cars, due to bad financial decisions the Church Manufacturing Company ran out of money and had to close.
The third car manufactured in Adrian was the Lion made by the Lion Motor Car Company. The Lion was immensely popular and successful; Lion Motor Car Company was taking the lead in the auto industry. However, on June 12, 1912, the plant caught on fire, destroyed about 200 cars, and ultimately ended the company.
Culture and life
Adrian is approximately southwest of Ann Arbor, southeast of Jackson, and northwest of Toledo, Ohio. A portion of the city is on the border between Adrian Township and Madison Charter Township, although the city is politically independent of both. The city's urban area extends beyond the city limits into both of those townships as well as into nearby Raisin Township and Palmyra Township.
Adrian is sometimes referred to as "the Maple City" due in part to the many sugar maple and other maple tree species found throughout the city. The Adrian High School sports teams are known as the "Adrian Maples" and several local businesses use maple in their names.
Adrian's cultural life has connections to the mid-19th century. The Adrian City Band is one of the oldest continuously active community bands in the country, founded in 1836. Also of historical note is the Croswell Opera House. The Adrian Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1981. Adrian College and Siena Heights University also offer many cultural opportunities.

We assume Eddington accretion for the BH seeds, so that the evolution of the BH mass is given by: $$m_{BH} = m_{0} \exp{\left [(t-t_0)/t_{sal} \right ]},$$ where $m_0$ is the mass at formation time $t_0$ and $t_{sal}$ is the Salpeter time [@sal64]: $$\label{eq:accr}
t_{sal} = \frac{\epsilon ~m_{BH} ~c^2}{(1-\epsilon)L_{Edd}} = 4.507 \cdot
10^{8} yr \frac{\epsilon}{(1-\epsilon)},$$ where $\epsilon$ is the radiative efficiency.
If $\epsilon \approx 0.1$ there has been enough time to build up a $z\approx 6$ supermassive black hole with mass $m_{BH} > 10^9$ starting from a PopIII remnant formed at $z>40$. This highlights that only a minor fraction of the PopIII BH seeds formed before $z=40$ can accrue mass with high efficiency, otherwise the number density of supermassive black holes at low redshift would greatly exceed the observational constraints. The first BH seeds in the box are distant from each other, so they evolve in relative isolation, without possibly merging among themselves. Therefore other mechanisms must be responsible for quenching accretion of the first BH seeds. Interestingly if we were to assume that accretion periods are Poisson distributed in time for each seed, we would not be able to explain the observed power law distribution of BH masses at $z <
6$ around the high mass end. A Poisson distribution would in fact give too little scatter around the median value and a sharp (faster than exponential) decay of the displacements from the mean accreted mass. An exponential distribution of the accretion efficiency is instead required to match the observed BH mass function. In addition, it is necessary to assume that the duty cycle of the BH accretion is roughly proportional to the mass of the halo it resides in. To explore this possibility we follow the merging history of PopIII halos formed at $z=40$ by means of a merger-tree code. We implement a BH growth based on Eq. \[eq:accr\], but at each step of the tree we limit the BH mass to $m_{BH} \leq
\eta~ m_{bar}$, where $m_{bar}$ is the total baryon mass of the halo

IV. Did the trial court err in allowing the AD DAMNUM clause to be amended at trial?
At trial plaintiff moved, over defendant's objection, *464 to increase the ad damnum from $1,300 to $1,900. Plaintiff's counsel explained that he had demanded the former amount without considering the additional $600 the bank had taken from plaintiff's account. There is no dispute that $1,900 is the amount actually owed on the note, and defendant's only objection is that he was surprised and prejudiced by this amendment. Defendant cites Phillips v Rolston, 376 Mich 264; 137 NW2d 158 (1965), in support of his argument. Defendant failed to note this Court's decision in Gibeault v City of Highland Park, 49 Mich App 736; 212 NW2d 818 (1973), affirmed, 391 Mich 814; 217 NW2d 99 (1974), where a post trial amendment of the ad damnum clause was allowed, and which criticized the rationale of Phillips. The Supreme Court's affirmance indicates that liberal amendments to ad damnum clauses will be sustained.
Defendant also cites DCR 118 as placing the burden on a moving party to prove no prejudice will result to the opposing party by amendments to conform with proofs. We need only note that the prejudice which must be disproved is that which the opposing party may experience "in maintaining his action or defense upon the merits". The amount of damages in this case does not go either to the ability to maintain the action or to the merits of the case.
Amendment of pleadings is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial judge, and the policy is to allow liberal amendment of pleadings. Ben P Fyke and Sons Inc v Gunter Co, 390 Mich 649; 213 NW2d 134 (1973); Bigelow v Walraven, 392 Mich 566; 221 NW2d 328 (1974). To reverse the trial court would require evidence of a clear abuse of discretion and none is found here.
*465 V. Did the trial court commit reversible error by incorrectly emphasizing plaintiff's position when summarizing the facts at the conclusion of trial?
DCR 516.7 states in part as follows:
"At the close of the evidence each party shall submit to the court a statement of the issues and his theory of the case as to each issue." From the record it appears defendant did not submit such a statement. The judge charged as to the theories of both sides and defendant objected then and now complains

Sorting is categorizing, just with an order imposed on the categories.
If the categories have a natural order, then people will exploit that when
they sort.
Suppose you had to put some cards with names on them into bins labeled by
first letter. You might go through the cards one by one and stick each in the
appropriate bin. It would help you if the bins are in alphabetic order, rather
than scrambled.
Sorting into categories involves a search to find the category for an item;
the search benefits from order.

Infinite, or recursive? Alphabetic, lexographic, and numeric sorts are
recursive over "significant digits", which is why we can write radix sorts.
(Scare quotes because that term doesn't necessarily directly translate to
alphabetic and lexographic sorting, but the basic prinicple is the same.)

Taste thresholds increase with age but the increase is relatively small. Taste quality identification appears to be relatively normal in the elderly. Thus there is little indication of sensory abnormality and yet many elderly individuals complain that foods taste weak. A previously unevaluated abnormality in the taste systems of the aged could account for this. As a function of stimulus intensity, preceived taste intensity may grow abnormally slow in the aged so that foods which contain relatively strong concentrations of taste substances would taste weak compared to sensations remembered

Details of the load, temperature sensors and the serpentine structure of the microfluidic channel are shown in [Figure 4b](#f4-sensors-14-20245){ref-type="fig"}. Glass is used as a substrate to carry the load and sensors. It is chosen due to its very low thermal conductivity, which is 100-times smaller than that of silicon. Lower thermal conductivity is required to limit unwanted heat loss through the substrate to the surroundings. Glass also has a much better electromagnetic response than silicon, as the high frequency performance of the load depends very much on the dielectric strength of the substrate. The ideal load is required to be a thin film resistor with uniform material properties, low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), long-term stability and low nonlinear effects. For good RF performance with lower reflected power, the resistance needs to be accurate and uniform. Tantalum nitride (TaN) is chosen as the material for the load, due to its low TCR. For ease of prototype fabrication, a coplanar wave-guide (CPWG) structure is constructed, using TaN for the load and Al for the ground plane, to direct the RF power to the load.
Aluminum-resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) are used as temperature sensors. RTDs are very suitable for a microfluidic design, as they can be made to have much better contact with the fluid, due to their simple planar structure. Aluminum is chosen due to its low cost, its linearity and relatively high TCR \[[@b19-sensors-14-20245]\]. Since it is necessary to measure small changes in resistance, Wheatstone bridges are used \[[@b20-sensors-14-20245]\]. An MP6 micro-pump is used to pump the fluid. Although deionized water could be used as the fluid, it was decided to use HFE-7500. Compared to deionized water, HFE-7500 has a higher viscosity and less reaction with aluminum, which results in less corrosion and fewer pattern defects. From the experiment results, we see that when deionized water is used, after a few minutes of operation, the metal of the temperature sensor begins to disappear and its electrical resistance increases dramatically (see [Figure 5](#f5-sensors-14-20245){ref-type="fig"}). On the other hand, when HFE-7500 is used, we see no corrosion when in contact with the sensor, and the patterns remain und

A:
No, operator<< does not modify its arguments. It prints them as is. However, I bet your function looks something like this:
double* haar1d(/* ... */)
{
double arr[N];
// Fill this array
return arr;
}
The point being that the array arr is local to the function. It will be destroyed when the function ends. However, you're returning a pointer to its first element. That pointer will be invalid outside the function, because the array it points to has been destroyed. To use this pointer now will invoke undefined behaviour, so you shouldn't be surprised if values start changing seemingly randomly.
I recommend using either std::array<double, N> or std::vector<double>, depending on whether your array size is a compile time constant or not. Returning either of these will copy its contents to the calling function.
If I'm guessing correctly, you might be using the argument that you gave as 2 as the size

Some types of image forming apparatuses provide a discrimination of the chromatic range of an inputted document image which is used for controlling the image forming operation. The discrimination determines whether the inputted image includes chromatic components in a predetermined amount or more. Based on the discrimination, the apparatus controls whether the image forming operation therein is a full color operation or a black and white operation. The time consumed during the image data processing and forming of full color images is much longer than the time required for forming monochrome images. According to this discrimination, the apparatus might detect the existence of a binary text region or a natural color photograph region in the inputted image. For example, this kind of apparatus is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,663, which is incorporated herein by reference.
For detecting input image characteristics, there are two kinds of conventional systems used in image forming apparatuses. The first one is a pre-scan system which uses an additional scanning operation for discriminating input image characteristics before the image forming operation starts, and determines the condition and parameters which will be used during the actual image forming operation. A subsequent scanning operation for actually forming the image using the previously determined conditions is then performed.
The second type of conventional system is a pre-scanless system which performs an initial image forming operation during a first scanning operation. Typically, the initial image forming operation is an operation using the black colorant. The pre-scanless system detects color characteristics of the input image such as the amount of the chromatic components in the image which is obtained in the first scanning operation. If a predetermined chromatic component is detected in the first scanning operation, the image forming apparatus detects that the input image is a color image. Accordingly, the apparatus is changed from initial image forming operation (e.g. black component) to the chromatic image forming operation during the second scanning operation for image forming.
In the image forming apparatus using the pre-scan system, the copying time of the document is increased because of the additional scanning operation necessary for image discrimination. Therefore, productivity of document duplication and work efficiency is reduced. However, even in the pre-scanless system, there is a reduction in the quality of the image or image fidelity. The pre-scanless system initially performs the black colorant operation of the image forming operation. When the image forming operation is for a color image, the pre-scanless system is limited in the amount of under color removal (UCR) which can be performed for each of color image

Style
Norris's early churches are mostly in the Lombard-Byzantine style, possibly influenced by his travels in Italy. This style had become popular amongst English Catholics after the completion of Bentley’s Westminster Cathedral in 1903. Part of its popularity amongst Catholics was that it differentiated them from Protestant buildings, and indicated their historic lineage going back to pre-medieval Christianity. It also had the advantage of being cheaper than Gothic. The internal decorative schemes (mostly applied marble and mosaics) could be added later as funds become available. One of the best examples of the style is Church of the Sacred Heart and St Catherine of Alexandria built by Peacock in 1921. Its mosaics weren't completed until 1932. Unfortunately none of Norris's churches were ever fully mosaicked. St John the Baptist Church, Rochdale has very fine mosaics by Eric Newton (art critic) in the sanctuary. Writing about St John Fisher in West Heath the artist Johan Jones said that Norris's architecture suited his work because its "scale and detail are the unproclaiming and noble frame for the various works that adorn it".
Partnerships
Norris joined Hill, Sandy and Norris in 1920. Henry Oswald Hill (1888-1917) was born the year before Norris and also studied architecture at Manchester University. He joined his father’s Manchester practice but was killed in action on 21 October 1917.
Henry Thomas Sandy (1868 – 1922) had been practicing in Stafford since 1891. In 1918 he acquired the remains of Hill’s practice and his Manchester offices. After unsuccessful partnership attempts with Herbert Powell and then a Mr Mangan, in 1920 he brought Norris into partnership. The practice of Sandy and Norris had offices in Albert Square Manchester and also at 134 Newport Road, Stafford. Unfortunately, Sandy died in 1922 at the age of 53 but Norris continued to use the styles of Hill, Sandy and Norris or just Sandy and Norris for many years.
Sometime in the 1930s Francis Maurice Reynolds joined the practice and appears to have had responsibility for running the Manchester office. This partnership was prolific during the 1930s but was dissolved on 20 September 1946. Reynolds retained the offices in Manchester but in a new practice with William Scott while Norris practiced out of Stafford under the style of Sandy and Norris. Both Norris and Reynolds continued to specialise in Roman Catholic churches, generally in Romanesque or Byzantine styles, well into the 1960s., although some argue that by this stage Reynolds by this

Forward Spectral Model and Retrieval Algorithm {#sect:fm}
----------------------------------------------
The computation of the spectrum from the model atmosphere was carried out using the [Nemesis]{} computer code [@irwin08], which also accomplishes the fitting and parameter retrieval. This code has been significantly validated in the past, having been successfully applied to model reflection and thermal infrared spectra of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus; from a variety of spacecraft and ground-based facilities and instruments, including Galileo, Cassini, Mars Express, Venus Express, UIST.
The Jovian model opacity is derived from two sources: (i) gas vibrational-rotational bands, and (ii) collisional-induced gas opacity. Jupiter’s atmosphere is also known to contain stratospheric haze. The addition of haze (particulate) opacity was investigated in paper I using the refractive index co-efficients of @khare84 or a simple grey absorber. However, the effect on the retrieval was not found to be statistically significant, i.e. the difference to the $\chi^2$ was below the noise threshold. Therefore we have followed the approach of Paper I and do not include a haze opacity in our retrievals. The atlases for the gas bands are identical to Paper I, except for ethane, where we substituted the more recent, improved list of @auwera07, now also available in HITRAN 2008 [@rothman08] and the 2009 update of GEISA [@husson08]. The collision-induced opacity uses the method of Borysow and co-workers [@borysow85; @borysow88].
The spectral calculation proceeds based on the correlated-$k$ approximation [@goody89a], whereby tables of $k$-coefficients are pretabulated in advance, at an appropriate range of pressure and temperature grid points covering the entire atmospheric range of interest. The spectral resolution was convolved into the $k$-tables during the computation, so that separate tables were built for each gas at both the IRIS and CIRS resolutions: 3.9 and 0.48 [cm$^{-1}$]{} FWHM of Hamming function instrument line shape (ILS) respectively [see @nixon09b section 2.2 for further details of the apodization]. This constitutes a change and improvement over the spectral modeling of Paper I, where the ILS was approximated by a triangle function,

I’m an overly emotional person. I won’t lie. I get bothered by most things around me, from loud chatter in the pub, to a total stranger relating some sad news to me, or even bright lights.
Yes – bright lights.
Most days, I simply cannot cope with the way external stimuli affects my nervous system. I feel overwhelmed most of the time, and each day is exhausting.
Perhaps the worst thing is that no one even seems to understand where I’m coming from and what I’m feeling.
“Stop being so emotional,” I’m told. “Snap out of it!”
It’s impossible to just snap out of it.
I’m sure you know what I mean. And as you know, being overly emotional is not some sort of personality flaw that can be altered. It’s an innate trait. It’s down to our chemicals and the way we’re wired. Can we just change all of that? Hardly likely. I struggle with to make toast without burning it, so I can’t imagine myself re-wiring my own brain!!
However, there are at least ways you and I can cope better if we are too overly emotional. Here are ten tips:
Get Into A Morning And Bedtime Routine
Overly emotional people get stressed really quickly when they lose control. Unpredictability is not a good thing to us, and we need some stability. And it’s for this reason that I suggest you get into some sort of morning and bedtime routine.
Morning routines are filled with cues that guide where you’re going next, as well as how you’re feeling. For example, I always listen to a certain song in the morning. It makes me feel good, gets me motivated, and reminds me that I need to seize the day. It puts me in the right frame of mind and prepares me for work.
All successful people have morning routines. It gives them stability, helps get them organised, and prepares them for the day ahead in the right way.
Stop Looking For A Solution
As mentioned, being an emotional person is not a personality flaw. It cannot just be fixed. It’s more of an innate temperament trait. As such, my advice to you is to stop looking for a solution from without, and to start harmonising with what’s inside you. Accept that you are who are you

The government argues that plain error review should apply because Wyss did not
specifically identify the Confrontation Clause as the basis for his trial-court objection. We
need not decide this question because Wyss's argument fails even under the less
deferential standard of review.

Case: 12-30922 Document: 00512416408 Page: 6 Date Filed: 10/23/2013
No. 12-30922
at 53-54 (Emphasis added). The relationship between qualification for one of the
standard hearsay exceptions and exemption from the Confrontation requirement
is not a casual one. Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, 557 U.S. 305, 129 S.Ct.
2527, 2539-2540, 174 L.Ed.2d 314 (2009). Hearsay law exempts business records
because businesses have a financial incentive to keep reliable records. See Fed.
Rule Evid. 803(6). The Sixth Amendment also generally admits business records
into evidence, but not because of their reliability under hearsay law. Business
records are admitted because - having been created for the administration of an
entity's affairs and not for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact at
trial - they are not weaker substitutes for live testimony. Melendez-Diaz, 129
S.Ct. at 2539-2540.
The Crawford Court described a testimonial statement as "'[a] solemn
declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some
fact,'" a description which includes "statements that are made under
circumstances which would lead an objective witness reasonably to believe that
the statement would be available for use at a later trial.'" See Brown v. Epps,
686 F.3d 281, 286-87 (5th Cir. 2012). This Court must determine whether the
Sprint records are more akin to testimony or to an ordinary business record that
was not prepared for litigation purposes. See United States v. Martinez-Rios,
595 F.3d 581, 585-6 (5th Cir. 2010) .
3. Discussion
Wyss asserts that Sprint's IP address records are testimonial in nature
because they were produced by a representative from Sprint's legal compliance
department who did not personally retrieve the data, in response to a trial
subpoena. Wyss cites

Ask HN: What not to talk to acquirer about? - selfdestruct
I was recently approached by a PE firm that is gobbling up companies in my space at pretty insane clip. I have a call scheduled with one of their lower level folks. I've read about these kinds of fishing expeditions but never been the subject of one. Can anyone offer some advice on the parameters for the discussion? What topics, if any, should I consider off-limits?
======
relaunched
There are a couple things you should know going in, or at least by the end of
the first call:
1) What is this PE firms model? Google them, cold call founders of companies
they've bought, etc. Some will want to buy you to integrate with existing
entities. Others want to accelerate your growth, based on their operating
model. If you don't have time to figure this out, you need to know all of
these details by the end of your first call.
2) What do you want out of the deal? Ever entrepreneur should have a number or
a vision, or both. You need to know what gets a deal done for you.
3) Why are they reaching out to you? Is it exploratory or already vetted and
strategic. Before you say anything of substance, you should understand where
they are at in the process. Oftentimes the level of the person you are
speaking with dictates the seriousness of the conversation / interest level.
4) Are they winners? Funds can't help but brag about their successes. Who are
their big exists? What do they return to their investors? How many funds have
they closed (and when)?
If you have any additional questions, my email is in my profile.

I was extremely open with my acquirer, even saying things like us not planning
to work there after the acquisition and pointing out every single thing that
sucked about the company.
They were happy enough that they bought it for 3x what we actually wanted.

I think you make a good point which is being honest is the best approach.

Retinal degenerations are one of the most important causes of retinal dysfunction including blindness. The prevention and ultimately the cure of such diseases depends on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for the differentiation and maintenance of retinal cells. Formation of the retina requires orchestration of numerous complex cellular and molecular events. Cell division, migration, and differentiation result in a retina with well defined layers, each containing a limited number of cellular phenotypes. Generation of the appropriate number and type of cells is a complex problem and the cellular

Long considered merely a trophic and mechanical support to neurons, astrocytes have progressively taken the center stage as their ability to react to acute and chronic neurodegenerative situations became increasingly clear. Reactive astrogliosis starts when trigger molecules produced at the injury site drive astrocytes to leave their quiescent state and become activated. Distinctive morphological and biochemical features characterize this process (cell hypertrophy, upregulation of intermediate filaments, and increased cell proliferation). Moreover, reactive astrocytes migrate towards the injured area to constitute the glial scar,

Asthma is the least common cause of nontraumatic death in college football players, with only 1 fatality occurring since 2000.^[@bibr4-1941738118805694]^ The lone case was a Northwestern University football player with a known diagnosis of chronic asthma who died in 2002 while conditioning.
In a review of high school and college football fatalities between 1990 and 2010, Boden et al^[@bibr2-1941738118805694]^ found 164 indirect (or nontraumatic) deaths compared with 79 due to trauma. The fatality risk for college players was 2.8 times greater, possibly reflecting the increase in the intensity of the game from high school to college. Again, most of the nontraumatic events did not occur during games, suggesting that the intensity of preseason practices and conditioning sessions was actually greater than that of games.
The excessive nature of some college football conditioning programs is further evidenced by a report from the University of Iowa in 2013.^[@bibr12-1941738118805694]^ The problematic session included sled pushing and weight-lifting tasks. Players performed 100 back squats at 50% of the 1-repetition maximum. This workout resulted in 13 player hospitalizations for exertional rhabdomyolysis,^[@bibr12-1941738118805694]^ which is characterized by exercise-induced muscle fiber breakdown with release of muscle components into the bloodstream. This condition can lead to renal failure and death; fortunately, none of the Iowa football players became fatalities.
With the recent documented examples of excessive training routines, it is becoming more and more clear that the current medical safeguards for the college football athlete are inadequate. With 28 nontraumatic deaths since 2000 occurring during conditioning and training, that part of the NCAA football program demands investigation. With the most recent death of Jordan McNair, a 19-year-old Maryland football player who succumbed after an off-season workout in August 2018, we are again reminded how dangerous the intense preparation can be.^[@bibr3-1941738118805694]^ Most startling is that these deaths have occurred in preparation for the game of football and not during the games themselves. This fact suggests that the intensity of the preparation is tougher than it needs to be.
In 2010, Head Football Coach Terry Bowden lamented,"There is no reasonable expectation of death while playing football. So why are lives being lost preparing for the game? Maybe these tragic deaths are not inevitable? Maybe it's time to start asking ourselves different

Household pets, such as dogs, can often be creatures of habit. They may have their favorite toy, but especially can have their favorite place to sleep. Unfortunately, this place may not always be where the owner would like it. If the owner wishes to train the pet to a particular place, they can put a soft cushion there and hope, or keep the pet there each night, until he learns to go by himself. Regardless of the method, however, the training must start when the pet is as young as possible. Once fully grown, new tricks become hard to teach.
Some pet owners wish to have their pets sleep in the same bed with them, for reasons including warmth, companionship or security. It therefore becomes important for these owners to train their pets early in life to sleep in the bed. If not, the pet may stay in the bed for a time, but will at some point in the night return to the favorite spot he has become accustomed to favor.
The problem arises when a young pet, such as a puppy, must be trained to climb onto a bed that is too high and physically impossible to climb. Once the dog has grown, he will be able to jump onto the bed with no difficulty, but beginning the training then would be too late. Additionally, smaller breeds of dogs may never achieve the necessary size and older, disabled or injured pets may find it impossible to jump onto the bed. It is thus necessary to provide a means for allowing the pet to climb onto the bed.
A common device for allowing animals to reach different heights are ramps. This type of ramp has usually taken the form shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,618,568, wherein a pet house is disclosed having a ramp as an entrance means. The ramp is a hinged plank of solid material, such as wood, and includes added steps or slats to provide traction for the pet as he climbs the ramp.
It is possible to provide such a ramp for a bed, although impractical. The ramp would be quite heavy, making it a nuisance to install or store. Without any attachment means to the bed, the ramp's own weight would cause it to slide and fall. The size of the ramp, even though it is possible to fold it, as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,618,568, makes it cumbersome to store when the owner would not want it seen.
Thus, it is an object of the invention to provide a device that allows a pet

The simulations were performed using the [gtobssim]{} tool, which is part of the [*Fermi*]{} ScienceTools distribution, and using the same pointing and live time history and event selection as used in the 2FHL catalog. We have employed the P8R2\_SOURCE\_V6 instrument response function for the simulations and analysis and the Galactic and isotropic diffuse emission were simulated using the [gll\_iem\_v06.fits]{} and [iso\_P8R2\_SOURCE\_V6\_v06.txt]{} templates [^1]. The last ingredient of the simulations is an isotropic population of point sources that has the characteristics of blazars (fluxes and spectra) as detected in 2FHL. The simulations described here were produced iteratively and ultimately rely on the source count distribution $dN/dS \propto S^{-\alpha}$ as determined at the end of photon fluctuation analysis (see later), which is, a broken power law with a break flux $S_b =1\times 10^{-11}$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ and a Euclidean slope above the break, $\alpha_1=5/2$, while below $S_b$ the slope is $\alpha_2=1.65$.
{width="1.03\columnwidth"} {width="1.03\columnwidth"}
Sources were generated with fluxes in the range $[S_{\rm{min}},S_{\rm{max}}]=[10^{-14},10^{-9}]$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ and with power-law spectra of the form $dN/dE\propto E^{-\Gamma}$. For each source the photon index $\Gamma$ is drawn from a Gaussian distribution with average value 3.2 and standard deviation 0.7 (this reproduces the observed distribution as shown on the right panel of Fig. \[fig:checks\]). Galactic sources are not considered in the simulations since we are interested in the flux distribution of blazars at $|b|>10^{\circ}$. We produced 10 simulations of the $\gamma$-ray sky following these prescriptions and in Fig. \[fig:map\] the sky map of one simulation is shown together with the real one. Clearly visible in both maps are the diffuse emission along the Galactic plane, the [*Fermi*]{} bubbles [@Fermi-LAT

Summer colds are the absolute worst. We’ve all been battling various versions of crud for the past week and a half – everything from pink eye to the common cold. The kids have started giving sympathy coughs, I swear. We’re all somewhat of a mess, but I think we’re on the mend.
The girls didn’t have school last Thursday afternoon and so I was on PTO and home with them. Between the 4th of July being in the middle of the week and their school being closed mid-week (for what dumb reason I’m still unclear on…), I’m feeling all sorts of off. This week looks to be back to the grind and a typical week, but…we’ll see. I’m starting with a weekly menu which is more than I can say for last week.
I had my sights set on a Sunday Fun Day with the family, but of course there were some hiccups there. I must have snored Mark out of the bedroom because he wasn’t in bed with me when I awoke to Piper reading to herself in her crib. I got up with the girls and quickly planned a menu for the week and made out a grocery list.
The girls and I headed to Aldi only to find out it doesn’t open until 9am. It was 8:30am. UGH. Off to Meijer we went. As I stepped on the edge of the door jamb to reach over the massive car seat to retrieve the toy Piper wanted to take into the car, my foot slipped (wet shoes) and my shin SLAMMED into the car with the entire weight of my body. It took my breath away and I was near tears, trying to keep in every four letter word as the kids looked at me in complete disorientation as to what to do. I needed a few moments to let the pain subside and off we went. (I have a blue and BULGING tender spot right on top of my shin – still SO painful).
When we arrived home we made the split decision to ditch church in lieu of blueberry picking. We hadn’t even gotten into the field before Shea had stepped into a pile of loose dirt and completely flipped out, ripping off her shoe and demanding her foot to be cleaned (thank God for wet wipes) and Piper fell face-first into a muddy pit created by tractor wheels.

either kind for a wrongful death action founded on premises liability. Therefore, the act
or acts which provoke the cause of death may be negligent as well as intentional for
purposes of R.C. 2125.01.” Id.
{¶50} There is no evidence in the instant case that the design of the parking lot
provoked Besancon’s actions. There is no evidence as to why Besancon drove up into
the pedestrian walkway, killing Civanna. Besancon said that he could not remember the
accident and merely testified that if he had been in his right mind, he would not have
been traveling 40-50 mph in front of the store. Contra to appellants’ argument, there is
no evidence that Wal-mart’s parking lot design created a “drag strip” which provoked the
accident. The evidence and photos of the site show numerous markings and signage
Holmes County App. Case No. 11CA002 17
designed to warn drivers to slow down because they are traveling in an area where
pedestrians may be crossing, as indicated earlier in this opinion. Reasonable minds
could not conclude that appellee provoked Besancon’s wrongful act.
{¶51} Appellants argue next that there are disputed facts as to whether appellee
was grossly negligent in the parking lot design and whether Besancon’s acts were an
intervening, superseding cause of Civanna’s death. These claims have been raised
and rejected earlier in this opinion.
{¶52} Appellants argue there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether
Civanna was conscious following the accident. Appellants rely on the statement of Noel
Christian in his affidavit that Civanna survived and was conscious for up to a minute
after being struck. This evidence contradicts all other witness testimony at the scene
and Noel’s own earlier deposition testimony that he was not present when she was
struck but was in the back of the Wal-mart store and when he saw her she was not
moving or breathing. However, we need not reach the issue of whether Civanna
retained consciousness as required to support a survivorship claim because we have
found summary judgment appropriate on the issues of both negligence and gross
negligence.

The title compound was prepared as part of our ongoing studies of hydrogen-bonding interactions in the crystal structures of protonated amines (Bouacida, 2008; Bouacida *et al.*, 2009).
In the title compound (Fig. 1), all bond distances and angles are within the ranges of accepted values (CSD, Allen, 2002). The amino N atom is protonated as in the other amines and imines (Bouacida *et al.*, 2005*a*,b,c; Rademeyer, 2004*a*,b). The Sn^IV^ atom is six-coordinated with six Cl atoms, located on an inversion center, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal structure can be described as alternating layers of \[SnCl~6~\]

You could do something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/23p34/4/
var subTables = $("table").find("table");
var headerColumns = $("table:first").find("tr:first").find("th:not(:first)");
var widths = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < 9; i++){
widths.push($(headerColumns.get(i)).width());
}
$.each(subTables.find("tr"), function(){
var row = this;
var rowCells = $(row).find("td");
for (x = 0; x < 9; x++){
var td = rowCells.get(x);
if ($(td).width() > widths[x]){
widths[x] = $(td).width();
}
}
});
$.each(headerColumns, function(index){
$(this).width(widths[index] + "px");
});
$.each(subTables.find("tr"), function(){
var row = this;
var rowCells = $(row).find("td");
$.each(rowCells, function(index){
$(this).width(widths[index] + "px");
});
});
Make sure to add colspans to the outer table's cells.

In state of the art video coding schemes, block-based motion compensated prediction (MCP) is used to exploit temporal redundancy. For inter-view coding in a multi-view video coding (MVC) scenario, a block matching procedure can also be applied to perform disparity compensated prediction (DCP), thus exploiting inter-view redundancy. Multi-view video coding (MVC) is the compression framework for the encoding of multi-view sequences. A multi-view video coding (MVC) sequence is a set of two or more video sequences that capture the same scene from a different view point.
However, there exist mismatches in the video content that are beyond translational displacement, such as focus changes, motion blur in monoscopic video, and illumination and/or focus mismatches across different views in multi-view video coding. Furthermore, the exhibited mismatches may be localized such that different portions of a video frame can undergo different types of change with respect to the corresponding areas in one or more frames used as reference. For example, with heterogeneous camera settings among cameras (utilized in multi-view video coding), different types of blurriness/sharpness mismatches will be associated to objects with different depths. As for motion blur in monoscopic video, objects moving in different directions could result in directional blurring. These non-translational mismatches will lower the coding efficiency of motion compensated prediction/disparity compensated prediction.
Without prior information about the mismatch in the video content, a two-pass encoding scheme can be utilized, in which an initial search and filter estimation are performed first to adaptively design filters based on the differences between the current frame and the reference frame(s). Higher coding efficiency is achieved by the preceding described two-pass encoding scheme as new references are created using the estimated filters. However, such scheme significantly increases encoding complexity and also increases the overhead since we transmit filter coefficients for every frame encoded with this scheme.
In the context of video coding, reference frame filtering approaches have been proposed, in which new reference frames are generated to improve coding efficiency.
For focus changes and/or camera panning, a technique referred to as blur compensation was proposed, in which a fixed set of blurring (lowpass) filters are used to generate blurred reference frames for video coding. This technique has two shortcomings for the scenarios we consider. First, the filter selection is made only at the frame-level, i.e., applying different filters to different parts of a frame was not considered. Second, this method relies

Scott–Curry theorem
In mathematical logic, the Scott–Curry theorem is a result in lambda calculus stating that if two non-empty sets of lambda terms A and B are closed under beta-convertibility then they are recursively inseparable.
Explanation
A set A of lambda terms is closed under beta-convertibility if for any lambda terms X and Y, if and X is β-equivalent to Y then . Two sets A and B of natural numbers are recursively separable if there exists a computable function such that if and if . Two sets of lambda terms are recursively separable if their corresponding sets under a Gödel numbering are recursively separable, and recursively inseparable otherwise.
The Scott–Curry theorem applies equally to sets of terms in combinatory logic with weak equality. It has parallels to Rice's theorem in computability theorem, which states that all non-trivial semantic properties of programs are undecidable.
The theorem has the immediate consequence that it is an undecidable problem to determine if two lambda terms are β-equivalent.
Proof
The proof is adapted from Barendregt in The Lambda Calculus.
Let A and B be closed under beta-convertibility and let a and b be lambda term representations of elements from A and B respectively. Suppose for a contradiction that f is a lambda term representing a computable function such that if and if (where equality is β-equality). Then define . Here, is true if its argument is zero and false otherwise, and is the identity so that is equal to x if b is true and y if b is false.
Then and similarly, . By the Second Recursion Theorem, there is a term X which is equal to f applied to the Church numeral of its Gödel numbering, X. Then implies that so in fact . The reverse assumption gives so . Either way we arise at a contradiction, and so f cannot be a function which separates A and B. Hence A and B are recursively inseparable.
History
Dana Scott first proved the theorem in 1963. The theorem, in a slightly less general form, was independently proven by Haskell Curry. It was published in Curry's 1969 paper "The undecidability of λK-conversion".

In the left panel of Fig. 1, we plot the Hawking temperature $T_{\rm H}$ as a function of the horizon radius $z_H$ for various chemical potential $\mu$. From the figure, we can see that for small chemical potential $\mu<\mu_c = 0.673 {\rm GeV}$, there exist two branches of the black hole solution for a given temperature $T_{\rm H}$, one is stable (smaller $z_H$) while the other (larger $z_H$) is unstable. Beyond these two branches, there is also another solution, the thermal-AdS solution. There is a first-order phase transition between the stable black hole solution and the thermal-AdS, the so-called Hawking-Page transition.
By comparing their free energies, which are functions of the temperature $T_{\rm H}$ and the chemical potential $\mu$, we can obtain the transition temperature $T_{\rm HP}$ for various chemical potential, which is shown in the left panel of Fig. 2. At zero chemical potential, $T_{\rm HP} \simeq 0.264 {\rm GeV}$ which agrees well with the lattice result [@Lucini:2003zr; @Borsanyi:2012cr] (Actually, we use this condition to fix $\bar{a}$ to take the above value.). When the chemical potential exceeds $\mu_c$, the unstable branch of the black hole solution and the Hawking-Page transition disappear, thus defining a critical point $(\mu_c, T_c)$. From the phase diagram, we can see that the transition temperature decreases as the chemical potential increased, qualitatively agreeing well with the lattice results for heavy quarks.
By calculating the free energy of the $q\bar{q}$ pair holographically in this frame, one can observe that this Hawking-Page transition is dual to confinement-deconfinement transition of the boundary theory, with the thermal-AdS and AdS black hole correspond to confinement and deconfinement phases respectively.

Here is the same workflow, when the conflict resolution is now set to ``ClientWins``:
.. image:: assets/Conflict04.png
Handling conflicts manually
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| If you decide to manually resolve a conflict, the ``ConflictResolutionPolicy`` option will be ignored.
| To be able to resolve a conflict, you just have to *Intercept* the ``ApplyChangedFailed`` method and choose the correct version.
.. code-block:: csharp
agent.OnApplyChangesFailed(args =>
{
// do stuff and choose correct resolution policy
});
The ``ApplyChangeFailedEventArgs`` argument contains all the required properties to be able to resolve your conflict.
You will determinate the correct version through the `Action` property of type ``ConflictResolution``:
.. code-block:: csharp
public enum ConflictResolution
{
/// <summary>
/// Indicates that the change on the server is the conflict winner
/// </summary>
ServerWins,
/// <summary>
/// Indicates that the change sent by the client is the conflict winner
/// </summary>
ClientWins,
/// <summary>
/// Indicates that you will manage the conflict by filling the final row and sent it to
/// both client and server
/// </summary>
MergeRow,
/// <summary>
/// Indicates that you want to rollback the whole sync process
/// </summary>
Rollback
}
* ``ConflictResolution.ClientWins`` : The client row will be applied on server, even if there is a conflict, so the client row wins.
* ``ConflictResolution.ServerWins`` : The client row won't be applied on the server, so the server row wins.
* ``ConflictResolution.MergeRow`` : It's up to you to choose the correct row to send on both server and client. the ``FinalRow`` instance will be used instead of Server or Client row.
You are able to compare the row in conflict through the ``Conflict`` property of type ``SyncConflict``:
* ``Conflict.LocalRow`` : Contains the conflict row from the client side. This row is readonly.

Wei Dong of Hoboken makes the best of his selection with a sprawling, fantastical painting filled with an abundance of Chinese figures -- performers, workers, soldiers, mandarins and Communist Party officials interspersed with seminaked women and, yes, goats. Titled ''They Can Do Anything'' (2004), it reads like a satire of Cultural Revolution-era propaganda paintings espousing Chinese superiority. But, then again, the title and overall friskiness might also be a reference to official corruption in China.
Mr. Dong has a firm command of both Western and Chinese painting techniques -- his sense of perspective and figure drawing are near flawless. But he is also mining a now-popular vein in contemporary Chinese art, with a handful of artists producing the same kind of bawdy, quasi-historical tableaux. That's O.K , if all he is interested in is producing liquid assets (these paintings tend to sell well); but if not, the challenge for him now will be to find a way to anchor his imagery in the present.
Another attraction is the Jersey City painter Aaron Yassin's ''Pyramid of the Mind'' (2003), a colossal, kaleidoscopic pattern painting of digitally manipulated and combined photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge, the John Hancock Tower in Boston and an ordinary municipal water tower. Beautiful and serene, it toys playfully with ideas of perceptual space in ways that suggest all kinds of fabulous possibilities.
Doodlelike drawings are also in abundance here, as expected, given that they are so prevalent in the art world today. Jeffrey Gibson paints and pours acrylic paint and tinted silicon onto the walls to create three-dimensional, Day-Glo, graffitilike drawings, while Lisette Morel, also scuffing up the architecture, presents a messy pencil wall drawing. Both artworks are fun and executed with exquisite finesse.
John Jodzio, a Hoboken artist and another convert to the cult of doodle drawing, offers an amusing, cartoonlike depiction of Jersey City as a crossroads of ethnic communities. In addition to recognizable storefronts and diners are reconfigured landmarks, sombrero-wearing cactuses, a bullfight ring, cowboys and Indians, weird cat people and gangs of gun-toting thrill seekers fighting and holding up liquor stores for cash. It's a wild, giddy portrait of Jersey City life.

Carnation contends that the FOM regulations required the agency to inspect the entire plant for noise violations rather than to pick three random sites.2 It then argues that OSHA's failure to follow its own regulations denied Carnation due process. Carnation relies on several cases including Vitarelli v. Seaton, 359 U.S. 535, 79 S.Ct. 968, 3 L.Ed.2d 1012 (1959); Accardi v. Shaughnessy, 347 U.S. 260, 74 S.Ct. 499, 98 L.Ed.2d 681 (1954); and United States v. Heffner, 420 F.2d 809 (4th Cir. 1969).
13
We do not find this argument persuasive. The Accardi doctrine is not a constitutional one. See, United States v. Caceres, 440 U.S. 741, 99 S.Ct. 1465, 59 L.Ed.2d 743 (1979); United States v. Calderon-Medina, 591 F.2d 529 (9th Cir. 1979), later app., United States v. Rangel-Gonzales, 617 F.2d 529 (9th Cir. 1980) (quoting from Mendez v. Immigration & Natur. Service, 563 F.2d 956 (9th Cir. 1977)); see also, United States v. Sourapas, 515 F.2d 295, 300 (9th Cir. 1975) (noting that a suppression order for violation of IRS' regulations was a harsh weapon to use in the exercise of supervisory powers). Because the doctrine is not a constitutional one, we can overrule the Secretary only by exercising our supervisory powers.3
14
We decline to exercise our supervisory powers in this case for several reasons. First, it is not entirely clear that the regulations have the meaning which Carnation attributes to them. The language does not give a clear mandate; and logic suggests that they cannot mean what Carnation says they mean all violations must be located and cited or the suit is dismissed. The second reason why we decline to exercise our supervisory powers is that the deviation, if any, from the regulations was not prejudicial.4
15
Carnation would be prejudiced by the Secretary's random citations if the Secretary could, by those citations, force Carnation to remodel the plant piecemeal
