subject of “multiple cooperative investigations by federal, state, and local law enforcement
agencies, [and] which ultimately resulted in [requester’s] conviction following the seizure of two
methamphetamine laboratories, six handguns, and a rifle,” under an implied assurance of
confidentiality), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 1094 (1998). The Court concludes that the DEA properly
withheld the identities of and information provided by the confidential sources under Exemption
7(D).
d. Exemption 7(F)
Exemption 7(F) protects from disclosure information contained in law
enforcement records that “could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of
any individual.” 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(F). The Court has reviewed the Vaughn Index, see
20
Wassom Decl, Ex. K, and finds that the DEA relies on Exemption 7(F) in conjunction with
Exemption 7(C) with respect to the same information. Because the Court already has concluded
that the same information properly was withheld under either Exemption 7(C), there is no need
also to consider the applicability of Exemption 7(F) with respect to this information. See Simon
v. Dep’t of Justice, 980 F.2d at 785.
D. Segregability
If a record contains information that is exempt from disclosure, any reasonably
segregable information must be released after deleting the exempt portions, unless the non-
exempt portions are inextricably intertwined with exempt portions. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b); see
Trans-Pacific Policing Agreement v. United States Customs Serv., 177 F.3d 1022 (D.C. Cir.
1999). The court errs if it “simply approve[s] the withholding of an entire document without
entering a finding on segregability, or the lack thereof.” Powell v. United States Bureau of
Prisons, 927 F.2d 1239, 1242 n.4 (D.C. Cir. 1991) (quoting Church of Scientology of Cal. v.

A: Right. That's why if your parents live in Belarus, you have to go to
another country, like Russia, to have an interview and then stay about a week
in a hotel, waiting for your passport. You can't go back to Belarus, because
they keep your passport at the embassy and not giving it back to you right
away, even if you passed interview and your visa was granted.
Q: Why did you apply for a new visa if your previous was issued only 2 months
ago?
A: Both L1 and L2 visas are linked to your blanket petition. Petition is
another document, issued by USCIS for 1 year. You can't get a visa, which
expiration date is longer than your petition expiration date. My petition was
approved in August 2012, but I received it in fact only in spring (after more
than 6 months). And then, when I received it, it took several more months to
make final preparations for the movement, so we were able to get a visa for
her only in June (which expired in August according to petition expiration)
and moved to the U.S. right away after that. And again, petition has been
extended already, but I only received it in August, even though it has been
extended since April.

1\. Immaturity at US Embassies is unfortunate and it happens. Sometimes
sadistic immaturity. I hear reports of this from my clients. I'm not saying
all State Department people are like that. Probably just a few. But there are
enough to make the USA look like a club populated by petty teenaged tyrants.
2\. Get an immigration lawyer to help you. It may be futile but at this point
you don't have a choice.
3\. My operating hypothesis is that citizenship is merely a business problem
to be solved for an increasing number of people. The 19th/20th Century notions
of Motherland/Fatherland and (gasp) Homeland are increasingly outmoded for
people like you. If you want to disrupt something, disrupt passports.

While idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a devastating lung disease, the management of PF including effective monitoring of disease progression remains a challenge. Our previous study demonstrated that recombinant mouse SCGB3A2 exhibits anti-fibrotic activity in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model mouse. We applied this mouse model in conjunction with the use of SCGB3A2 to introduce and validate a novel, fast, and ultrasensitive metalloproteinase (MMP) activatable optical probe, named MMP-P12

Conclusion
==========
In this prospective study, we found the following: 1) while in use, oral intake of VPA was suggestive of a short-term benefit to patients with RP and 2) regardless of the genotype, there were no systemic drug-related adverse events. It is necessary to examine the effect of a longer VPA supplementation in a controlled study design.

Scope
This code reads as though it was written by someone whose preferred language is C (pre-99). Variables should be declared when they're needed, not at the start of the method. The only case in which it's usually necessary to declare a variable without also initialising it is immediately before an if or case when each branch will initialise it. So, for example, in Main the variables adj, costLib, costStr don't need to be outside the loop. (In fact, only one of costLib and x needs to exist at all, because they're just aliases; similarly costStr and y). The variable Vertices in Graph is never read: your IDE is probably giving you a warning about that.
Comments
I don't see a single comment outside the parser. If it's throwaway code, that's fair enough, but it's rather counterproductive to ask for help improving your code and not explain anything about it. What approach are you taking? I can see that there's a DFS, but why? What does the return value of the DFS contain? Why is LibraryCounter initialised to 1?
The lack of comments is very evident in the fact that VisualMelon offered a hint in a comment on this question for something which I think is essentially the very heart of what the code is already doing: but that wasn't obvious from a quick look at the code.
If you write out the basics of your approach and the reasoning behind it, I think you'll find that there's a simpler way of doing it.
Names
Some of the names are so unhelpful that there are comments when they're assigned. Rather than
Int64 n = Convert.ToInt32(tokens_n[0]); //Number of cities
why not this?
var numCities = Convert.ToInt32(tokens_n[0]);
Most of the names follow C# capitalisation convention, but not all. Vertices and LibraryCounter are both local variables and should start with a lower-case letter.
High-level data structures
bool[] visited = new bool[v];
I assume that you're using C# with .Net, whether .Net Standard or .Net Framework. They both have high-level data structures which can make code easier to read and, in many cases, faster. If you flip this round as ISet<long> unvisited then the bulk of DFS can

Ideally, the mobile robot would be able to continuously track its position relative to the work as it approaches the work. Since this would involve the processing of huge volumes of data, however, it is not practicable with currently available technology. For overcoming this problem, Japanese Laid-open Patent Application Nos. 59(1984)-32,009, 59(1984)-121,506 and 55(1980)-97,609 etc. teach methods for reducing the amount of processed data by laying auxiliary guide means (such as tape) along the locomotion paths within the robot operating space. The provision of buried electromagnetic induction wires has also been proposed.
These techniques are troublesome owing to the need to equip the workspace with special devices and, particularly in the case of subsurface wires, are quite costly to implement. In some environments, moreover, such as at a nuclear power facility, large-scale changes in the environment are not allowed.
Techniques have also been developed for enabling a mobile robot to discern its position and orientation relative to a work by pattern matching with camera images or other such visual information stored in memory beforehand. For reducing the amount of data that has to be processed, these methods generally use window processing to reduce search time. When the mobile robot's task is to inspect a piece of machinery, for example, the time for completing the task can indeed be shortened by having the robot ascertain its position using images taken of the pressure gauges and the like that are to be inspected. Since the mobile robot first identifies its position using other features of the equipment or the architectural environment and then searches for the work to be inspected, however, its working speed is slow. Although working speed can be speeded up by increasing the performance of the onboard computer, it is better for economical reasons to use a low-performance computer. In addition, autonomous robots are by nature subject to weight and energy consumption restrictions.
The present invention was accomplished in light of the foregoing circumstances and has as one of its objects to provide a system for detecting a position of a mobile robot and controlling the same which enables a mobile working robot equipped with a relatively low-performance computer to use a minimal number of landmarks provided in the workspace for detecting whether or not it has properly reached the work, accurately and in real time.
Moreover, among the various types of mobile robots, some types, such as the legged mobile robot, have discrete ground contact (footfall) positions. When such a mobile robot moves through an environment that restricts footfall position, as when it ascends or

George Dalison (d.20 June 1549), eldest son and heir. He married Isabel Hopkinson and was the ancestor of the Dalison baronets, of Laughton (created in 1611 and 1624), namely Sir Roger Dalison, 1st Baronet (c. 1562 – 1620), Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, and his son Sir Thomas Dalison, 1st Baronet (died 1645) who had to reapply for a new creation of the baronetcy as a clerical error was discovered in the register of baronets.

The following theorem shows that Theorem 1 remains valid for some special classes of matrices with nonnegative elements. [**Theorem 5.**]{} [*Let $M = (a_{i,j})$ be a $k \times k$ matrix. Suppose that $\exists s,l \in {\bf Z}: -(k-1)\leq s <l\leq
k-1$ such that $a_{i,j}>0$ for $s\leq j-i \leq l$ and $a_{i,j}=0$ for $j-i<s$ or $j-i>l$ . If $a_{i,j}a_{i+1,j+1} \geq c_k \
a_{i,j+1}a_{i+1,j} \quad (1 \leq i < m,\ 1 \leq j < n) $ then $\det M \geq 0.$* ]{}
We will show how to prove Theorem 5 in the section “Proof of Theorem 4”.
A variation of Theorem 3 for the class of Toeplitz matrices was proved by J. I. Hutchinson in [@hut]. To formulate his result we need some notions.
The class of $m$-times positive sequences consists of the sequences $\{a_k\}_{k=0}^\infty$ such that all minors of the infinite matrix
$$\label{mat}

a_0 & a_1 & a_2 & a_3 &\ldots \\

of order not greater than $m$ are non-negative. The class of $m$-times positive sequences is denoted by $PF_m.$ A sequence is called a multiply positive sequence if it is $m$-times positive for some $m\in{\bf N}.$ A sequence $\{a_k\}_{k=0}^\infty$ such that all minors of the infinite matrix (\[mat\]) are nonnegative is called a totally positive sequence. The class of totally positive sequences is denoted by $

30 Nov Visual Cues Can Turn Back the Clock in a Retirement Facility
Scientific research proves that the environment in which people work and live affects the mind, which in turn affects behavior, which in turn defines a person’s experience in that space. Depending on the outcome of that experience, it can influence a person’s quality of life positively or negatively.
Having a space that supports those who live in it is the intention behind an Integrated Space.™ Creating an Integrated Space is even more important when the people involved are seniors. How do we create a space that helps them transition to a new version of “home” that supports another phase of their life?
In an article published in December 2012 in AIArchitect, environmental psychologist and interior designer Migette Kaup explains: “Architectural cues can provide reinforcement to the desired behaviors that we would like to see enacted in specific place types.” She was referencing her work in a Kansas retirement community where she was attempting to create an environment that nourished and supported the residents. Incorporating residential touches in hallways like rocking chairs and installing different residential doorways entering into apartments to underscore an entry into an individual’s home were part of her plan to create a home-like feeling for seniors.
A controversial study was done in 1979 by Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer entitled “Counterclockwise” explored the question of environment and how it might impact an aging population psychologically.
Langer re-created an environment that was identical to one 20 years prior (1959). Eight men between the ages of 75 and 80 and in various stages of decline were dressed in clothes of that timeframe, listened to 50’s music, watched television programs from that era, lived with corresponding décor and furnishings, and read books and magazines in line with this new reality.
They didn’t just reminisce about that time of their lives but lived with cues that they were actually 20 years younger. Langer included no mirrors in their space; they couldn’t wear modern clothing or watch the current news on television. They could only have photos of themselves from that time or earlier.
The results? One week later, the men tested better on intelligence test scores. A comparison of photos taken when they arrived and when they left showed a reversal in age and many did not need their canes.
Although Langer has received criticism about this study because it had not been peer-reviewed and replicated, the study still shows that with a surrounding

Here, the trial court did not make any findings regarding the existence of, or the deputy's compliance with, standardized criteria in conducting the inventory search of Kilburn's truck. Although the deputy testified that it was standard Sheriff's Office policy to conduct an inventory search whenever a vehicle was towed, he also testified that there were no standardized criteria for performing such a search. Additionally, the state did not present any evidence that it was standard Sheriff's Office policy to open closed containers found during the search, such as the pill bottle in Kilburn's truck where the drugs were found. Accordingly, under these circumstances, the trial court erred in denying Kilburn's motion to suppress the drugs found in his truck. See Wells, 539 So.2d at 469 (reversing denial of motion to suppress based upon the absence of a standardized policy requiring the opening of closed containers found during a legitimate inventory search); Beezley v. State, 863 So.2d 386 *628 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003) (reversing and remanding for discharge because trial court should have granted dispositive motion to suppress where no indication that police conducted inventory search according to standardized criteria); Patty v. State, 768 So.2d 1126 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000) (directing granting of motion to suppress where state failed to present evidence of standardized criteria used in inventory search); Roberson v. State, 566 So.2d 561 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990) (holding that search of closed can was illegal where evidence did not show that it was standard procedure to open closed containers).
Based upon the foregoing, we reverse the trial court's order denying Kilburn's second motion to suppress, and because that motion was dispositive of the possession of marijuana and possession of alprazolam offenses, we remand with directions that Kilburn be discharged on those offenses. In all other respects, Kilburn's judgment and sentence is affirmed.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED with directions.

Once the proband was diagnosed, her family members were invited to participate in the study and were screened for PDB. Two siblings (II6 and II11) of this proband were diagnosed with PDB. Patient II6 was 54 years of age when she was diagnosed. DR examination showed that her skull, humeri, vertebrae, pelvis and femurs were affected and that her serum ALP (3337 IU l^−1^) at the time of diagnosis was elevated. This patient\'s main clinical symptoms were low back pain, cervical and limb weakness, and slight spinal deformity. The patient claimed that cervical and limb weakness had appeared \~2 years prior to diagnosis. No other complications were found. Patient II11 was 45 years of age when he was diagnosed. DR examination showed that his skull, vertebrae and pelvis were affected and that his serum ALP (1851 IU l^−1^) at the time of diagnosis was elevated. However, sclerosis and bone expansion in this patient were mild compared with those in the other two patients. At the beginning of the study, this patient reported no significant symptoms.
The patients and some of the patients\' family members were again invited for further examination and treatment \~2 years ago. DR examination confirmed that there were no new affected bones in the patients. However, the spinal deformity of patient II6 had become more severe. A body height reduction of \~9 cm was noted in patient II11, who complained of cervical weakness. Magnetic resonance examination showed that the first, second and third lumbar vertebrae of this patient were severely compressed and presented typical double-sided depressed deformities (not shown). The serum ALP levels of these patients demonstrated progressive ALP elevation ([Table 1](#tbl1){ref-type="table"}). Intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid (Aclasta, Novartis Pharma Schweiz AG, Switzerland) at 5 mg per year was used for each patient. After 2 years of treatment, the symptoms of patients II3 and II11, including cervical and limb weakness, and body height reduction, were significantly remitted; the serum ALP levels of these two patients also significantly decreased ([Table 1](#tbl1){ref-type="table"}), and the calcium and phosphorus homeostasis of the patients was normal.

Atmospheric vaporizers have been known in the art for a long time. These devices are used in industry to vaporize relatively large quantities of a cryogenic liquid which is needed in the gaseous form for certain manufacturing and other operations. In essence, an atmospheric vaporizer is a heat exchanger which utilizes ambient heat to vaporize a very low boiling (cryogenic) liquid. A typical example for the use of atmospheric vaporizers/heat exchangers is the vaporization of liquid oxygen for use in industrial processes and welding operations.
State of the art atmospheric vaporizers/heat exchangers include a plurality of heat exchange elements which are finned tubes made of good heat conducting materials (usually aluminum). The finned tubes are mechanically assembled to one another and to a substantially rigid frame. Flow of the cryogenic fluid through the tubes is generally in a serial fashion i.e. from one tube to another to maintain the height of the vaporizer/heat exchanger within reasonable limits, for example, of the order of 6 to 25 feet. The relatively large surface of the fins facilitates efficient heat exchange with the environment; in other words, the fins promote relatively efficient absorption of heat from the ambient atmosphere and thus provide the heat required for vaporization and heating of the cryogenic liquid.
The prior art serial vaporizers connect a number of vertically oriented heat exchange tubes in series to vaporize the cryogenic liquid which enters the heat exchanger at a temperature well below the freezing point of water, e.g. about -300.degree. F., and heat it to a temperature suitable for manufacturing or other operations e.g. within 10.degree. to 40.degree. F. of the ambient temperature.
A serial atmospheric vaporizer/heat exchanger, including specific dimensions for the external and internal fins of its elongated finned tubes, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,359.
To obtain the desired flow rate several groups of serially connected tubes may be placed in parallel. One prior art vaporizer manufactured by the assignee of this application utilizes 36 heat exchange tubes with each group of 6 connected in series. With such an arrangement, the flow of the cryogenic fluid is bi-directional i.e. up through one tube, down through the next etc. The temperature of the cryogenic fluid will increase from its entrance temperature e.g. about -300.degree. F. to its exit temperature e.g. 20.degree.-60.degree. F., as it travels through the ser

Treis Castle, also called Treisburg, is a castle ruin in the municipality of Treis-Karden on the Moselle in the district of Cochem-Zell in the state of Rhineland-Palatine in Germany. It is located 30 kilometres south-west of the city of Koblenz.
Location
The ruins of this hill castle stand on a mountain spur surrounded by the streams Flaumbach and Dünnbach flowing from the Hunsrück mountain range, approximately 70 metres above their confluence.
Wildburg Castle, is located about 150 metres to the south on the same spur, separated by a depression. Castle Treis is located at an altitude of 157 meters above sea level, and about one kilometre south of Treis, a little aloof of the Moselle Valley.
History
The exact date of the castle's construction is unknown; Treis Castle may have been built as early as in the second half of the 11th century.
The first reliable record of Treis Castle dates back to 1121. That year, Emperor Henry V destroyed a castle at Treis, built by Otto I, Count of Salm. In 1148, Treis castle was held by the Count Palatine of the Rhine, Hermann III of Stahleck. In the course of a dispute over the office of Count Palatine between Hermann III and Otto I, Treis Castle came under influence of the diocese of Trier. Ultimately, the Archbishop of Trier, Albero de Montreuil conquered Castle Treis, making it property of the diocese. It appears that during the 12th and 13th century, the castle would have been controlled by the Archdeacon of Karden. In the late 13th century, there is clear evidence for the castle being owned by the Electorate of Trier and thereby being under direct control of the Archbishop. Successively, members of various noble houses became notable as bailiffs or Burgmannen of Trier in Treis: Freie von Treis, the Lords of Pyrmont, the Lords of Winneburg-Beilstein, and the Lords of Eltz.
During the Palatine succession war in 1689, Treis Castle has been destroyed by French troops, and not been rebuilt.
Since the 1950s, private owners have secured the ruins and rebuilt the castle keep.

The mesh, on its transfer frame, is then lowered onto the mesh frame in such a way that the perimeter of the mesh lays at a lower level with respect to the mesh frame. This configuration guarantees a good contact of the mesh at all the chamfered surfaces and a good adherence of the mesh. Finally, some weights are placed on the outside of the mesh frame and around the central insert during the curing time of the glue (24 hours), shown in Fig. \[Fig:MeshGluing\].
![Photo showing the glueing of the mesh to its frame for the single mesh (left) and the double mesh case (right).[]{data-label="Fig:MeshGluing"}](Figures/Mesh_glueing.pdf "fig:"){width="36.00000%"} ![Photo showing the glueing of the mesh to its frame for the single mesh (left) and the double mesh case (right).[]{data-label="Fig:MeshGluing"}](Figures/DoubleMeshGlueing_0028.jpg "fig:"){width="62.00000%"}
The mesh is only glued to the chamfered part of the frame. In this way, small glue excesses do not affect the stacking of the panels during the quadruplet assembly. Furthermore, a good electrical contact between the mesh and the 4 mm wide flat part of the frame is guaranteed.
After curing of the glue, the mesh is cut along the perimeter of the mesh frame and the transfer frame is removed. When the mesh is cut, its tension force is transferred to the mesh frame, resulting in panel deformations of O(0.5 mm)[^10]. Remeasuring the mesh tension, values very similar to the originals were found[^11].
While the two outer drift panels have only one mesh, the central drift panel carries meshes on both sides. The glueing procedure follows the one of the single mesh. To prevent panel deformations after the first mesh has been glued the meshes were cut from their transfer frames only after the second mesh had been glued. In this case the tension forces of the two meshes do approximately cancel and the panel stays flat.
### Front-end electronics\[sec:Front-end\_electronics\]
Prior to the assembly of the quadruplets, the fixation of the front-end adaptor (mezzanine) boards is added to the panels.

Your body is made up of some 60 trillion cells. In every moment of every day, these cells conduct more than a million different kinds of biochemical reactions. Health is simply the reflection of how efficiently these reactions occur.
Unfortunately, cells can’t always work as they should. When they lack energy, raw materials or “trigger” nutrients, at least some of their chores are left undone. The same is true as cells are damaged by free radicals, bad fats, or excess sugar.
Although Pure Essence is only 13 years old, our founder and chief formulator has been designing supplements for over 30 years. In 1984, he founded Rainbow Light Nutritional Systems, Inc., where he created the world’s first “food-based” supplements, the world’s first “green food” complexes, the world’s first line of digestive enzymes, the world’s first therapeutic enzyme products, and so on. So, even if you’ve never used a Pure Essence product, you've used something that he created, or that his creations inspired.
Now, with the Cellular Concept of Health as his guide, he’s created the world’s first supplements that combine the best of evidence based nutrition with the ancient wisdom of the world’s great holistic medical systems. That means that our multiples provide thousands of phytonutrients that are missing in others; nutrients that are absolutely vital to complete cellular health. And, it means that our condition and organ specific formulas are more supportive than any others you will find.
In short, the Cellular Concept of Health translates into supplements and nutraceuticals that not only support health, but actually build it. This means, in turn, that you’ll feel better, stronger, more energetic and more alive with our products than with any other supplements on Earth. It also means that in every product we make, you’ll address not just symptoms, but they’re underlying cause.
There has simply never before been anything like Pure Essence. Of course, words are cheap. But, experience is not, and our products provide the ultimate nutritional experience. Because of that, they’re guaranteed beyond any condition.
So, the next time you’re deciding on whose product to use, give us a try. We cost a bit more, because our products contain so much more than others. But, it’s what they contain that produces the results they provide.

MEMORANDUM ORDER
JOHN GARRETT PENN, District Judge.
On March 7, 1991, the Grand Jury returned an indictment charging the defendants with unlawful possession of a firearm with an obliterated or altered serial number, 18 U.S.C. § 922(k), unlawful possession of a firearm not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), and unlawful possession of a firearm not identified by serial number, 26 U.S.C. § 5861(i).[1] On *2 July 16, 1991, the Grand Jury returned a superseding indictment purportedly correcting Count 1, however, the new indictment also contained an error. The Court began the motions hearing on July 18, 1991. On July 18, 1991, the Grand Jury returned a second superseding indictment that was filed in open court. The defendants were arraigned on the July 18th superseding indictment on July 19, 1991.
The case is now before the Court on the McNab's Motion To Suppress Statements and Motion To Suppress Evidence, and Allen's Motion To Suppress Statement and Motion to Suppress Evidence. A hearing was held on July 18 and 19, 1991. After giving careful consideration to the motions and the opposition thereto, together with the record in this case, the Court concludes that Allen's motion to suppress evidence should be granted and all other motions should be denied.
I
Briefly, the facts as found by the Court are as follows: On February 6, 1991, officers of the Metropolitan Police Department received a report of "suspicious" activity relating to two cars parked in the area of the 1400 block of Whittier Place, N.W., in the District of Columbia. The citizen making the call thought that the occupants of the cars were selling drugs. The radio run referred to a "red sports car" and a "blue" car. Officer Dixon and his rookie partner, Officer Rosenburg, responded to the area and while proceeding east on Whittier Place observed a red two door Chevette with the defendants seated inside. The officers also observed an empty red Mazda sports car parked diagonally across the street from the Chevette. Apparently they did not observe the blue car. The officers approached from the rear and stopped approximately five feet behind the Chevette. Both officers stepped out and Dixon approached the Chevette on the driver's side while Rosenburg approached on the passenger side. Up to this time the

The Palm Pre is mentioned as an alternative but no evidence is given to

He's saying that Apple betrayed trust by implementing secure feature
insecurely (while claiming that it was working correctly) and when they
decided to actually do something about it, they just quietly pulled out the
rug from under their users. There was no Apple announcement or apology. Just a
checklist item burying deep in a list of changes in an OS update. That's why
he says 'double betrayal.'

jasongullickson
Did Apple explicitly claim that they were encrypting the stored files?
~~~
tvon
It sounds like the iPhone was telling the Exchange servers on the protocol
level that it supported encryption. That's what I'm getting from this article
anyway.
~~~
jasongullickson
I fear we're both working from second (or third)-hand information here and
it's time to do some homework to find out the truth, but let me add this one
thought.
This may sound like a stretch, and Apple themselves have decided that it's not
sufficient, but while the files themselves my not be encrypted the filesystem
of the iPhone itself is protected from all but deliberate (and possibly
illegal) fiddling by third-parties. In this way it's not completely dishonest
for the iPhone's exchange client to report to the Exchange server that the
local files are secured.
Like I said it's a stretch, but perhaps the original implementation wasn't
pure malice/ignorance on Apple's part.

This is actually a pretty major credibility issue within the enterprise space,
and one that Apple should move to address quickly. (Not that I think they'll

Simulation data sets for each TEM variant were combined and clustered into a single shared state-space. Each data set consisted of 4 μs FAST-RMSD and 2.5 μs conventional simulations. With 5 sequences, this gives a total of 32.5 μs of total simulation. The shared state-space was defined using all heavy atoms on residues within 1.0 Å of position 182 in the crystallographic structure of TEM β-lactamase (PDB ID: 1JWP). The side chain atoms of position 182 were not included, since they vary between sequences. These atomic coordinates were then clustered with a *k*-centers algorithm based on RMSD between conformations until every cluster center had a radius less than 1.0 Å. Then, 10 sweeps of a *k*-medoids update step was used to center the clusters on the densest regions of conformational space. Following clustering, the cluster assignments were split and a unique MSM was constructed for each TEM sequence with a lagtime of 2 ns. To obey microscopic reversibility, transition count matrices were symmetrized. Representative cluster centers were saved for each state in each sequence for analysis.
Geometric analysis of representative cluster centers was performed using MDTraj:^[@ref36]^ in particular, RMSDs, solvent-accessible surface areas, and atomic distances. Ensemble average values within MSMs were calculated as the expectation value for a particular observable. I.e., the expectation of observable *Z* is calculated aswhere *p*(*z*~*i*~) is the population of state *i* and *z*~*i*~ is the value of state *i*. All cumulative distribution functions were generated with population-weighted statistics of representative conformations from each state in the MSMs we built from our FAST simulation data sets. Each point in one of these cumulative distribution functions is calculated aswhere *p*(*z*~*i*~) is the population of state *i*.

The problem is following:
Currently I have a Service record type in cloud dashboard in development mode:
But the first version of this was WITHOUT createdAt field.
I did deploy first version to production mode and it was fine. Then I changed Service by adding createdAt field. And I did deploy it to production. So in production I have a fields like this:
there is no createdAt date.
And while I develop the app and try to fetch all Service records... everything is fine. They are fetched and working in the app. So I deploy changes to production mode, submit app to app store. Apple did review it... and... it is not working. WHY?
They do not have default createdAt value... and when I fetch all of them... nothing is fetched (because nothing appear in the app).
But...
when I manually update createdAt in PRODUCTION MODE as you can see:
Then the app from AppStore works fine, and those records are fetched and appear in the app.
What may be the reason, that they do not appear in the app?
Can I somehow set default value for those who are in cloud currently?
I have 638 records to update:(
A:
Since you told me you have to use your custom createdAt date, instead of the CKRecord's natural creationDate property, you should be able to do something like this:
func getServiceRecords() {
let predicate:NSPredicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
let query:CKQuery = CKQuery(recordType: "Service", predicate: predicate)
// Create an empty array of CKRecords to append ones without createdAt value
var empty:[CKRecord] = []
// Perform the query
if let database = self.publicDatabase {

// Check if there is an error

In milling cutters having shim plates that are arranged under replaceable milling inserts, the individual shim plate has an important function in preventing—or at least as far as possible counteracting—serious damage in the event of an insert breakdown. Namely, if the co-operating milling insert suddenly would lose its cutting capacity during operation, e.g., as a consequence of fractures or other unexpected faults, the basic body of the milling cutter may dig into the workpiece and cause expensive damage not only to the proper basic body but also to the driving spindle and the parts of the machine tool co-operating with the same. For this reason, the shim plate is usually mounted in such a way that its edge portion, positioned rotationally behind the chip-removing cutting edge of the milling insert, on one hand protrudes radially a distance in relation to the envelope surface of the basic body, but, on the other hand, is located inside the swept area described by the cutting edge during the rotation of the milling cutter. During normal conditions, i.e., as long as the milling insert is in working order, the peripheral edge portion of the shim plate clears the generated surface in the workpiece, at the same time as the envelope surface of the basic body positioned rotationally behind the shim plate is situated radially inside the imaginary circle described by the edge portion of the shim plate. Therefore, if an insert breakdown would occur, the peripheral edge portion of the shim plate can proceed to remove chips from the workpiece without the rotating basic body digging into the workpiece. In other words, the edge portion of the shim plate can passably assume the chip-removing function of the milling insert during the short time that is required to interrupt the milling operation before a more extensive tool and machine breakdown occurs.
Another function of the shim plate is to form a reliable and accurately located long-term bottom support for the milling insert. For this reason, the shim plate is usually manufactured from a material, such as cemented carbide, that is harder than the material of the basic body, which in turn most often consists of steel or aluminium. The shim plate is connected semi-permanently with the basic body, usually via a tubular screw that includes, on one hand, a male thread, which is tightened in a female thread in a hole that mouths in a bottom of the seat of the milling insert, and on the other hand a female thread, in which a male thread of a tightening screw can be tightened

Posidippus of Cassandreia (Greek: Ποσείδιππος ὁ Κασσανδρεύς, Poseidippos ho Kassandreus; 316 – c. 250 BC) was a Greek comic poet of the New Comedy.
Life
He was the son of Cyniscus, a Macedonian who lived in Athens. He produced his first play in the third year after Menander had died (289 BC).
Cooks held an important position in his list of characters.
According to Aulus Gellius, Latin comic poets had imitated Posidippus.
His success is shown in a beautiful portrait and sitting statue in the Vatican, which is considered a masterpiece of classical art.
In studying Posidippus' language, Augustus Meineke has detected some new words and old words used in a new sense, completely unknown to the best Attic writers.
Works
Suidas states that Posidippus wrote forty plays, of which the following eighteen titles (along with associated fragments) are preserved.
Ἀναβλέπων (Anablepon) — The One Who Sees Again
Ἀποκλειομένη (Apokleiomene) — The Barred Woman

However, a system of $ N $ Bosons is described by a trace of the projection to symmetric wave functions, i.e., wave functions that are invariant under permutations of the single particle indices. Hence the trace for a system of Bosons is given as $${{\operatorname {Tr}\,}}_+({\rm e}^{-\beta{{\mathcal H }}_N})=\frac{1}{N!}\sum_{\sigma\in\mathfrak S_N}\int_{{\ensuremath{\mathbb{R}}}^d}{{\rm d}}x_1\cdots\int_{{\ensuremath{\mathbb{R}}}^d}{{\rm d}}x_N\bigotimes_{i=1}^N {\ensuremath{\mathbb{E}}}_{x_i,x_{\sigma(i)}}^\beta\Big ({\rm e}^{-H_{N,\beta}-G_{N,\beta}}\Big),$$ where $ \mathfrak S_N $ is the group of permutation of $ N $ elements. These symmetrised systems are the subject of the review [@A07d] in these proceedings. Recent results can be found in [@AD06], [@AK06] and [@A07a], [@A07b].
The path measure $ {\ensuremath{\mathbb{P}}}_{N,\beta}$ is a model for $N$ Brownian motions in a trap $W$ with the presence of a repellent pair interaction. We can conceive the $N$-tuple of the motions, $B_t=(B_t^{{{\scriptscriptstyle{({1}})}}},\dots,B_t^{{{\scriptscriptstyle{({N}})}}}),$ as one Brownian motion in ${\ensuremath{\mathbb{R}}}^{dN}$. Introduce the normalised occupation measure of the $dN$-dimensional motion, $$\mu_\beta({{\rm d}}x)=\frac 1\beta\int_0^\beta\delta_{B_s}({{\rm d}}x)\,{{\rm d}}s,$$ which is a random element of the set ${{\mathcal M }}_1({\ensuremath{\mathbb{R}}}^{dN})$ of probability measures on ${\ensuremath{\mathbb{R}}}^{dN}$. It measures the time spent by the tuple of $N$ Brownian motions in a given region. Note that there is only one time scale involved for all the motions, i.e., the Brownian particles interact with each other at common time units. We can write the Hamiltonians in terms of the occupation measure as $$H_{N,\beta}=\beta\langle \mathfrak

So my little baby, who will still let me call you “my little baby”, who are you at six? This has been a big year for you. We moved from the only house and the only city you had ever known to a new house and a new city. And you started kindergarten, the beginning of your school journey. Both of those big transitions you took in stride. School has been a dream. You were very ready for kindergarten. You are lucky enough to have a wonderful teacher and I jokingly call you the mayor of your classroom. All the kids like you. Your teacher told us that he can put you at any table in his classroom and you work well with the other children. Your only fault in school, according to him, is that you tend to rush through your work. You are so busy and want to know what is next. Just like Daddy. You are very very bright. Just like Daddy. You hate to be wrong and hate to be hurt and hate to be embarrassed. Just like Daddy. You are very good at finding things. Just like Daddy.
I find so much joy in holding your hand, always warm and slightly sticky, and just talking with you. Your voice continues to be high and scratchy and I love the sound of it. You have so many funny ideas, so many good questions, so much curiosity about the world, and so much kindness in your heart. You play imaginative games with Legos and figures and most of the time you and Graham get along really well. You are interested in magic and science and you aren’t afraid of much. You will go on a roller coaster with Daddy while Graham will sit on the sidelines with me. You sometimes act as an interpreter for Graham when I don’t understand what he is saying and I hope you will continue to do for him, both with us and at school. You also tend to tattle a lot and have been to known to fall to the ground in frustration. Currently you play basketball and go to karate and watching you attempt jumping jacks, with your arms not quite in synch with your legs, makes me smile and tear up at the same time.
I walk you to school each day and you are heartbroken on the days when I need to drop you off. I know the day is coming when you won’t want me to walk you in at all. I cherish that you hold my hold all the way to your classroom, allow me to help you

Defendant Was Improperly Convicted of Three Separate Counts of Murder
(1) Defendant claims he was improperly convicted of three separate counts of murder and that convictions on two of the three counts must be reversed. The People concede defendant can only stand convicted of one count of murder for his killing of Trujillo. We accept the People's concession.
(2) Section 954 provides, in pertinent part, that "[a]n accusatory pleading may charge two or more different offenses connected together in their commission, or different statements of the same offense ... under separate counts .... The prosecution is not required to elect between the different offenses or counts set forth in the accusatory pleading, but the defendant may be convicted of any number of the offenses charged...." (Italics added.) "Thus multiple charges and multiple convictions can be based on a single criminal act, if the charges allege separate offenses." (People v. Muhammad (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 484, 490 [68 Cal.Rptr.3d 695]; see People v. Ryan (2006) 138 Cal.App.4th 360, 368-369 [41 Cal.Rptr.3d 277].) Here, the three counts charged a single offense: murder. (§ 187, subd. (a).) The three counts simply alleged alternative theories of the offense.
The People suggest the appropriate remedy for this error is to consolidate the judgment to reflect one count of murder with two special circumstances and a finding of malice. The People note that in similar circumstances involving duplicative convictions, other courts have ordered that multiple counts be consolidated into a single judgment. (People v. Scott (1944) 24 Cal.2d 774, 777 [151 P.2d 517] (Scott) [ordered three counts of rape based on single act of intercourse consolidated into single judgment]; People v. Craig (1941) 17 Cal.2d 453, 459 [110 P.2d 403] [consolidating judgments and modifying the single judgment to state defendant was convicted of rape as charged in two counts]; People v. Brown (1948) 87 Cal.App.2d 281, 287 [196 P.2d 936] (Brown) [consolidating convictions for rape and a lesser included offense of assault with intent to commit rape].)
Defendant argues against consolidation. He distinguishes Scott, supra, 24 Cal.2d 774 and Brown, supra, 87 Cal.App.

Nope, it certainly won't be in Unity 5. And the most they're willing to say is
that they're working on solutions. It's been what, four or five years now?
That's why I'm now using Unreal Engine 4. If you're comfortable with C++, I'd
recommend it, though it's still more or less in beta at the moment.

reitzensteinm
I'm looking into UE4 for my next game, too, and Mono is one of the reasons why
- there seems to be a focus on big picture features at the expense of the day
to day quality improvements.
For instance, my game builds are ridiculously large, because you can't store
your textures in a losslessly compressed format (you can load from URL a png
manually, but then you have to manually apply them to your models).
Unity has been so successful because it's been an "OK" tool in a land of
rubbish. It seems as though it's finally getting some strong competition at a
comparable price point, which is great for everyone.
Either Unity will step its game up (which I'd love, I don't want to switch
tools), or it'll enter a long, slow period of decline.
~~~
socialist_coder
Unity 4.3+ lets you choose "png" format as part of the native 2d support. No
more 16/24/32 bit uncompressed as the only lossless formats.
I'm not sure if the new "png" format would work for 3d textures though- there
might be some other weirdness there (like maybe you can't turn on mipmaps or
something) since it's supposed to be used for 2d sprites.

Behavioral research on the neurotoxic effects of environmental chemicals is conducted in two isolated worlds. Human performance tests are drawn from the traditions of achievement, aptitude and intelligence testing (e.g., Digit Symbol, Santa Ana). Behavioral testing in animals, emerging from a different tradition, employs techniques such as maze learning, reinforcement schedules, and complex stimulus discrimination to investigate potential neurotoxicants. Although the primary differences between these approaches are methodological rather than conceptual, efforts to bridge this chasm have been

Sucralfate in Helicobacter pylori eradication strategies.
Sucralfate monotherapy has been shown to suppress but not eradicate Helicobacter pylori. The combination of sucralfate with antibiotic(s) has been evaluated recently in the treatment of H. pylori-positive duodenal ulcer. The aim of this article is to review the efficacy of sucralfate-containing duotherapy and triple therapy in duodenal ulcer healing and H. pylori eradication rates.

Two prominent and comprehensive introductions to Bayesian epistemology say almost nothing about justification ([@R30]; [@R8]).
In axiomatic contexts, a definition conservatively extends a theory T in a language L to $\acute{T}$ in an extended language Ĺ if for every sentence ϕ of L, T proves ϕ iff $\acute{T}$ proves ϕ. Put informally, conservative definitions do not facilitate proofs of anything new (other than derivative consequences of extending the language). Acquiring new knowledge in this way is precisely the point of explication.
No divergence need occur if the contours of epistemic concepts are extraordinarily sharp, such that increasing precision (through axiomatization or otherwise) more accurately reflects their true structure. On this view the rationale for increasing precision in epistemology would mirror methodology in physics and most other sciences: precision simply facilitates more accurate description, in this case of conceptual content rather than physical properties and processes. But this is highly implausible. How competent natural language speakers actually understand and employ terms representing epistemic concepts---and what cognitive psychology generally reveals about the fluid nature of concepts ([@R41])---shows this ambitiously precise account of our epistemic conceptual apparatus is mistaken. Of course, these results are not conclusive if epistemic concepts are abstract objects that serve as constituents of propositions ([@R50]), *and* the realm of such conceptual abstracts is precisely structured. We believe this view of concepts (and conceptual structure) is untenable, but cannot address this complex issue here.
Formal epistemology can also address descriptive issues about human cognition (e.g. [@R56]). Analyses with this focus share goals similar to psychology and Carnap's rationale for explication of empirical concepts applies.
[@R12], 7) simply gauged fruitfulness in terms of the production of well-confirmed generalizations, but his explications (and the scientific methodology they reflect) demonstrate that well-confirmed generalizations contribute differentially, not equally, to fruitfulness. Explications that facilitate numerous well-confirmed, but nevertheless trivial generalizations fare poorly on fruitfulness. Generalizations with wider scope contribute more, as do generalizations that better catalyze discovery of further generalizations. Beyond these plausible general principles, Carnap's reticence about fruitfulness likely reflects a pragmatic perspective: fruitfulness depends on the particular purposes for which explication is employed. Carnap's naturalism and scientific orientation tempers this pragmatism (see [@R54]), but a pragmatic

In a typical implementation of such a digital signature algorithm such as the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) a signature component s has the form:s=k−1(e+dr) mod n
where: d is a long term private key random integer of the signor; Q is a public key of the signor derived by computing the point Q=dP; P is a point (x, y) on the curve which is a predefined parameter of the system; k is a random integer selected as a short term private or session key, and has a corresponding short term public key R=kP; e is a secure hash, such as the SHA-1 hash function of a message; and n is the order of the curve.
In this scheme the signor represents the x coordinate of the point kP as an integer z and then calculates a first signature component r=z mod n. Next, the second signature component s above is calculated. The signature components s and r and a message M is then transmitted to the recipient. In order for the recipient to verify the signature (r, s) on M, the recipient looks up the public key Q of the signor. A hash e′ of the message M is calculated using a hash function H such that e′=H(M). A value c=s−1 mod n is also calculated. Next, integer values u1 and u2 are calculated such that u1=e′c mod n and u2=rc mod n. In order that the signature be verified, the value u1P+u2Q must be calculated. Since P is known and is a system wide parameter, the value u1P may be computed quickly. The point R=u1P+u2Q is computed. The field element x of the point R=(x1,y) is converted to an integer z, and a value v=z mod n is computed. If v=r, then the signature is valid.
Other protocols, such as the MQV protocols also require similar computations when implemented over elliptic curves which may result in slow signature and verification when the computing power is limited. The complexity of the calculations may be explained by observing a form of the elliptic curve. Generally, the underlying elliptic curve has the form y2+xy=x3+ax+b and the addition of two points having coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,

Mechanism of Action
Initiation
The initiation of apoptosome action corresponds with the first steps in the programmed cell death (PCD) pathway. In animals, apoptosis can be catalyzed in one of two ways; the extrinsic pathway involves binding of extracellular ligands to transmembrane receptors, while the intrinsic pathway take place in the mitochondria. This intrinsic pathway involves the release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria and subsequent binding to the cytosolic protein Apaf-1. Cytochrome c release is thus necessary for the initiation of apoptosome action; this release is regulated in a number of ways, most importantly by detection of calcium ion levels.
Cytochrome c Release
Cytochrome c release is proposed to take place in one of two ways. Firstly, the permeability transition pore (PTP) when the mitochondria receives a death inducing signal, and releases intermembrane space proteins (12). The PTP is composed of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the inner membrane protein adenine nucleotide translocator (AdNT) and the matrix protein cyclophilin D (CyD) (12). This pore causes the mitochondria to swell and the outer mitochondrial membrane to rupture (Diamond & McCabe, 2007). With this change in permeability, proteins such as cytochrome c are released into the cytosol (12). This change likely causes the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), where the mitochondrial transmembrane potential collapses, and ATP production ceases (12). The inhibition of this method by the pharmaceutical agent cyclosporine A (CsA), lead to the discovery of the second pathway (13). The second method of cytochrome c release is independent of the PTP and involves only the VDAC. Members of the Bcl-2 family of pro-apoptotic proteins can induce the opening of the VDAC (12). This will cause the same release of intermembrane space proteins, including cytochrome c, and the subsequent MPT to occur (12).
Apaf-1
a. Absence of Cytochrome c
In the absence of cytochrome c, Apaf-1 exists in its monomeric form; it is thought that the WD-40 domain remain folded back onto the protein, keeping Apaf-1 in an auto inhibited state. In addition, several areas are so tightly bound that the protein is unable to bind to anything else. It has been determined through mass spectrometry that in the autoinhibited, or “locked” state, ADP is bound to the ATPase domain of Apaf-1. In this state, this

The slope of the form factor at $Q^2 = 0$ is related to the isovector charge radius $\langle r^2 \rangle^{1/2}$. The left-hand panel in Figure \[fig:charge\] shows the charge radius obtained from the calculation above. A naive linear fit in $m_\pi^2$ would clear be far below the experimental points, illustrating the need to correctly describe the non-analytic behaviour in the approach to the physical light-quark masses. The curve shows the chiral extrapolation of the charge radius, using the finite-range regulator[@Leinweber:2001ui]. The right-hand panel shows the isovector mean square charge radius obtained by the QCDSF/UKQCD Collaborations, using two flavours of Wilson fermions, with pion masses down to around $350~{\rm MeV}$; the line is the chiral behaviour in the small-scale expansion.[@Gockeler:2003ay]

The Excise and Prohibition Department of Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday seized a huge quantity of ganja In Visakhapatanam's Hukumpet mandal in the Agency area, and arrested two people while they transporting more than two tonnes of the plant.
As per official estimates, the seized contraband is worth more than Rs 2 crore.
The Times of India reported that the enforcement wing of the Excise Department was tipped off about 2,290 kg of dry ganja being transported in a van at Uppa in Hukumpet mandal under the Paderu excise station limits on Tuesday.
The report adds that, following this, Inspector P Muralidhar and sub-inspector U Nageswara Rao of the excise enforcement wing, along with their staff intercepted the van and nabbed the accused.
The two persons who were arrested in the case were identified as VV Chinna Rao (27) from the Visakhapatnam Agency area and J Bala Murugan (32) from Madurai in Tamil Nadu, media reports add.
Assistant Commissioner of Excise (Enforcement) SVVN Babji Rao told The Hindu that the ganja was neatly packed in gunny bags and covered with tarpaulin. A person who was travelling on a motorbike, acted as a pilot for the van and was supposed to travel ahead and inform about inspections.
“We intercepted the pilot first and then caught the van. However, the driver of the van managed to escape,” the police official told the newspaper.
The Hans India reported that the drivers were told to ensure that the ganja reached Karasapadu area, from where others would take it to Tamil Nadu.
Along with the van, one motor cycle and a mobile phone, Rs 24, 000 in cash was also seized.
Ganja is grown at a large scale in the Agency area of Visakhapatnam, and officials suspect that a lot of Maoists are involved in cultivation of the plant, and use the money gained from its sale, for their activities.
Earlier this week, Roads and Buildings Minister Ayyanna Patrudu alleged that officials knew the people who were cultivating the plant, and demanded that strict action be taken against them.

ISSUES
There are two issues presented for our review. The first is whether the rescission by the City of Oakdale of Ordinance # 1248 rendered moot the issue as to its validity and reasonableness. The second issue is whether the city was required to refrain from introducing, within a year, another annexation ordinance of practically the same area as the prior ordinance which was rescinded.
1.
To rescind is by dictionary definition to take back, to make void. The Louisiana Supreme Court in City of New Orleans v. Lakowsky, 158 La. 70, 103 So. 513 (1925), held that "the repeal of an act or ordinance is a complete bar to further proceedings." Ordinance # 1248, and all disputes arising out of it, ceased to exist when it was rescinded. Its reasonableness is now moot, and courts do not decide moot questions. Caldwell v. Planning Commission of Calcasieu Parish, 425 So.2d 262 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1982), writ denied, 430 So.2d 95 (La. 1983). The ruling of the trial court regarding the viability of issues arising under Ordinance # 1248 was correct.
2.
Citing R.S. 33:174, the appellants urge that the city should be prohibited for one year from proposing any new annexation ordinance which would encompass practically the same area as that described in Ordinance # 1248.
A suit to contest the reasonableness (as opposed to the violation of procedural requirements) of a proposed extension of corporate limits is provided by R.S. 33:174. This section provides that in such a suit, "The question shall be whether the proposed extension is reasonable". The statute declares that if it is adjudged reasonable, the ordinance shall go into effect 10 days after the judgment is rendered and signed, unless a suspensive appeal is taken. If the ordinance is adjudged unreasonable, the following sanction is made applicable:
"If the proposed extension is adjudged unreasonable the ordinance shall be vacated and the proposed extension shall be denied, and no ordinances proposing practically the same extension shall be introduced for one year thereafter."
In his reasons for judgment, the trial judge stated that since Ordinance # 1248 had not been adjudged unreasonable, the City of Oakdale would not be prevented from proposing an annexation ordinance incorporating practically the same area. This was a correct decision. The moratorium on new annexation proposals imposed by R.S. 33

I'm not a lawyer. However, the amicus brief[1] is pretty good reading and
addresses your scenario above with a locked box, vault or safe. In those
instances, the "content" doesn't change (hence the decryption argument doesn't
apply here), but the method by which the lockbox is secured greatly matters
(page 13 of the brief):
_" As the Supreme Court noted in Hubbell, the compelled entry of a safe’s
combination is testimonial because it requires the compelled use of the
“contents of [an individual’s] own mind” and is thus within the Fifth
Amendment’s privilege. [...] Meanwhile, the compelled production of a
lockbox’s key is not testimonial, because it involves “a mere physical act”."_
Thus, biometric data (i.e. the act of placing your face or finger near/on the
device to unlock) could be construed as a "mere physical act" as referenced in
the _U.S. vs. Hubbell_ Supreme Court case[2].

If that's true, it's ridiculous.
The issue at hand is that it's a 'locking mechanism' \- something that only
specific people can do, by virtue of the fact that they have a key, or
knowledge, or whatever.
Whether it's biometric, a password, or a padlock - is basically irrelevant to
the nature of the situation, I would hope that it's recognized as such
legally, although I admit I have no idea.

Herpes simplex virus, when inactivated by ultraviolet light, undergoes profound changes besides inactivation of its infectious capability. We have recently discovered that UV-inactivated virus has a strong therapeutic action against acute herpes simplex infections of the cornea. Dendritic ulcers rapidly disappear, inflammation clears overnight and regrowth of denuded epithelium is rapid. This project is an effort to develop optimum conditions for production of the responsible agent(s) to isolate and identify it and to determine its mechanism of action in experimental corneal

RII interaction assays
----------------------
RII overlays were performed using murine \[^32^P\]RIIα as previously described ([@bib4]). For yeast two-hybrid analysis, the cDNA encoding RIIα 1--45 was subcloned into the Gal4 activation domain containing yeast expression vector pACT2. This gene encodes an NH~2~-terminal Gal4 activation domain fused to RIIα 1--45. Each pLexA-Rab32, -Rab32L188P, -Rab5, -Rab6, or -Rab7 was cotransformed with the pACT2-RIIα 1--45 into the yeast strain L40 as described above.
Autospot peptide array
----------------------
Peptide arrays were synthesized on cellulose paper using an Auto-Spot robot ASP222 (ABiMED) as previously described ([@bib13]). After synthesis, the NH~2~ termini were acetylated with 2% acetic acid anhydride in DMF. The peptides were then deprotected by a 1-h treatment with DCM--TFA, 1:1, containing 3% triisopropylsilane and 2% water.
Immunoprecipitations and PKA activity assay
-------------------------------------------
Cells 50--80% confluent were transfected using Lipofectamine Plus reagents (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer\'s instruction. 5 μg of plasmid DNA (Flag--Rab32 or Flag--Rab32L188P) was used to transfect HEK-293 cells in 10-cm dishes. Transfections were performed for 24 h, followed by lysis in IP buffer (20 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100). Recombinant proteins were immunoprecipitated using Sepharose-conjugated antiFlag monoclonal antibody (Sigma-Aldrich). PKA kinase assays were performed as previously described ([@bib8]).
Northern blot
-------------
A Northern blot containing immobilized samples of mRNA from several human tissues (CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc.) was assayed using a ^32^P-radiolabeled 113-bp probe corresponding to the COOH-terminal hypervariable domain of Rab32. Human RNA dot blot analysis was performed according to the manufacturer\'s instructions (CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc.).

Now the list, $E_a(E_e(E_b(52)))$ and $E_b(E_a(E_e(193)))$ can be revealed and the Bob and Eve's numbers removed. Since the encryption is commutative, $E_a(E_e(E_b(52)))$ will match $E_e(E_b(E_a(52)))$ somewhere in the list, as will $E_b(E_a(E_e(193)))$.
Everyone takes the first number in the list, say $E_e(E_b(E_a(42)))$. They each decrypt it, e.g. Bob: $D_b(E_e(E_b(E_a(42)))) = E_e(E_a(42))$. They pass them around like in step 4, so that eventually e.g. Bob gets $E_b(42)$, which he can decrypt and announce, comparing to Alice and Eve's results.

The Rum Diary (novel)
The Rum Diary is an early novel by American writer Hunter S. Thompson. It was written in the early 1960s but was not published until 1998. The manuscript, begun in 1959, was discovered amongst Thompson's papers by Johnny Depp. The story involves a journalist named Paul Kemp who, in the 1950s, moves from New York to work for a major newspaper, The Daily News, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is Thompson's second novel, preceded by the still-unpublished Prince Jellyfish.
Background
Set in the late 1950s, the novel encompasses a tangled love story involving jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust among the Americans who staff the newspaper. Thompson himself travelled from New York to San Juan in 1960 to write for an ill-fated sports newspaper on the island of Puerto Rico. Thompson had unsuccessfully applied to work at the larger English-language daily called The San Juan Star which novelist William J. Kennedy edited. While in Puerto Rico, Thompson befriended many of the writers at the Star, providing the context for The Rum Diary'''s fictional storyline.
Although Thompson wrote his narrative at the age of 22, it deals extensively with a fear of "going over the hill" and growing old. The prominent characters are typical of Thompson's work: violent, maniacal and alcoholic, stumbling through life. The narrative uses a highly paced and rather exciting style, also typical of Thompson's oeuvre.
Thompson told PBS talk-show host Charlie Rose in 1998 that he had given up the novel because it had originally "bounced about seven times – I got the standard list of rejection letters – and I came back from South America and I got into the politics of the 60s and 70s, and it was a full time job". He then said that he revisited the book because "it's got a romantic notion...that and money...and I was faced with the fact of having to dig out my 40-year old story...I can't change it, like, 'ye gods, this is me, this is the world I lived in'...so I approached it as a writer...it's a good story."
Film adaptationThe Rum Diary'' has been adapted into a film. Bruce Robinson wrote the screenplay and directed the film, which stars Johnny Depp as journalist Paul Kemp. Filming took place in Puerto Rico during 2009. It

"We have established a `burden-shifting' process when a party raises the defense of State-agent immunity. Ex parte Wood, 852 So.2d 705 (Ala.2002).

If the [defendants] make such a showing, the burden then shifts to [the plaintiff], who, in order to deny the [defendants] immunity from suit, must establish that the [defendants] acted willfully, maliciously, fraudulently, in bad faith, or beyond their authority. Wood, 852 So.2d at 709; Ex parte Davis, 721 So.2d 685, 689 (Ala.1998).

Functional Programming Is Worse Than Crap: State Changes Are Essential... - jashkenas
http://rebelscience.blogspot.se/2007/09/functional-programming-is-worse-than.html
======
colanderman
_What most FP theorists fail to explain is that, in FP, the function itself is
the variable. The variable value of functions are kept on the stack and are
used as arguments for other functions. One function affects another. Insisting
that there are no variables and thus no side effects in FP is wishful thinking
at best and crackpottery at worst._
The author is misunderstanding FP entirely; possibly due to FP zealots
misunderstanding FP entirely. The key to FP is not some abstract hand-wavy
idea of "stuff never changing", which is the strawman on which he built this
entire post. It is referential transparency (
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_transparency_(compu...](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_transparency_\(computer_science\))
).
Referential transparency is the notion that any given expression can be
replaced with its value without changing the result of the program. This
property does wonders for formal verification since it allows programs to be
broken into pieces for ease of verification (this is a _huge_ win).
FP, by making all state explicit, trivially exhibits referential transparency
(since the dependencies of an expression are syntactically present within it).
Imperative languages, by making state implicit, do not exhibit this property.
A study languages which exhibit referential transparency yet have state, such
as Mercury or Flapjax, shows that state is not incompatible with referential
transparency or functional programming in the manner the author believes. A
solid understanding of reduction-semantics such as that used by the lambda
calculus would also help him form a more coherent argument (particularly the
points about "functions being variable" don't make logical sense).

Description
===========
The Transgenic RNAi Project (TRiP) has generated more than 12,000 transgenic RNAi fly stocks that have been distributed to the community via the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (Ni et al. 2007; Ni et al. 2011; Perkins et al. 2015). These stocks express long double-stranded RNA hairpins (dsRNAs) or short RNA hairpins (shRNAs) under GAL4/UAS control (Brand and Perrimon 1993), and provide powerful tools for targeted genetic screens. Unexpectedly, as part of a genetic screen examining retinal degeneration in flies, we identified a defect in eye development associated with many of the TRiP stocks. *Drosophila* have a compound eye composed of repeating units, termed ommatidia, that each contain eight photoreceptor cells (R cells 1 -- 8) (Ready, Hansen and Benzer 1976). The light-sensing organelle, the rhabdomere, in seven of these photoreceptors can be directly visualized in wild-type flies using light microscopy either by optical neutralization or by examining the deep pseudopupil; R7/R8 are stacked on top of each other so only one is visible in a given vertical plane (Franceschini and Kirschfeld 1971).Whereas seven rhabdomeres could be counted per ommatidium in wild-type flies (Fig. 1A), a subset of the TRiP lines tested show characteristic loss of a single rhabdomere (Fig. 1A, Fig. 1B). This single photoreceptor loss phenotype is reminiscent of *sevenless* *(sev)* mutants; *sev* (FBgn0003366) encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for development of R7; thus, loss of function *sev* mutations result in ommatidia that lack R7 (Harris et al. 1976; Simon, Bowtell and Rubin 1989). Preliminary observations suggested that the *sev* phenotype was X-linked and observed only in TRiP stocks containing a *scute (sc)* allele of unknown origin denoted *sc^\*^.* Whole genome sequencing data for one of the TRiP stocks with the X chromosome containing this *sc* allele (*y^1^ sc^\*^ v^1^)* revealed the presence of an A\>T mutation at position X:1107648 in *sev*, which would result in a premature stop codon at K665X. We tested several of the TRiP stocks that showed the *sev*

Masking out the laser radiation with a high divergence angle advantageously improves the quality of the focusing of the convergent lens. A major advantage of the optical system according to the invention is, in particular, that the portion of the beam emitted from the semiconductor laser emitter which is in any case not injected into the optical conductor is masked out. In consequence, receptacle components advantageously achieve the same eye safety as pigtail components.
With the foregoing and other objects in view there is provided, in accordance with the invention, an optical system that includes a semiconductor laser for emitting laser radiation, an optical device, and a convergent lens. The convergent lens is configured between the semiconductor laser and the optical device for injecting the emitted laser radiation into the optical device. The convergent lens is provided with a coating structured to have the form of a diaphragm for masking out a portion of the emitted laser radiation.
In accordance with an added feature of the invention, there is provided a structured coating (diaphragm) which is preferably composed of metal, and which can be applied in a simple manner to the surface of the convergent lens, by means of vapor deposition. The convergent lens may be composed of glass, silicon or some other semiconductor material that passes the respective laser radiation wavelength. It is particularly preferred for the convergent lens to be a plano-convex lens, with the structured coating provided on the convex side.
In accordance with an additional feature of the invention, there is provided a structured coating that is preferably in the form of a perforated diaphragm and that masks out the portion of the laser radiation whose divergence angle is greater than the acceptance angle of the optical conductor. The radiation power injected into the optical conductor is varied by varying the divergence angle below the value of the acceptance angle, without having to change the geometrical configuration of the entire system that includes the semiconductor laser emitter, convergent lens, and optical device that can be an optical conductor.
In accordance with another feature of the invention, there is provided a structured coating that is preferably in the form of a zone diaphragm for masking out the high-intensity central beam. This reduces the injected power and increases the eye safety of receptacle versions.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention, the optical system may be employed in an advantageous manner for coupling the laser beam of the semiconductor laser emitter in a multi-mode fiber. Only the fundamental mode of the multi-mode fiber is stimulated by masking out the laser radiation with a high divergence angle. The transmission characteristics of a single mode fiber are thus simulated in the multi-

From Eq.(\[2\]), we obtain the energy spectrums $$\begin{aligned}
E_{k}= \pm \sqrt{|\rho_{k}|^{2} + |\delta_{k}|^{2} \pm
\sqrt{2(|\rho_{k}|^{2} |\delta_{k}|^{2} + \text{Re}(\rho_{k}^{2}
{\delta_{k}^{*}}^{2}))}}. \label{6}\end{aligned}$$ We know the necessary condition for topological phase transition is the closure of the energy gap. When $\lambda = \lambda^{'} =
0$, the energy spectrums reduce to $E_{k}=\pm|\rho_{k}|$, it is direct to find that the energy gap is closed only when $J=J^{'}$ at $k=\pi/d$. In Ref.[@M.; @Atala], it is shown that when $J
> J^{'}$, each of the two occupied bands has $\varphi_{Zak} = \pi/2$, and the system is topologically trivial, When $J<J^{'}$, each band has $\varphi_{Zak} = -\pi/2$, and the system is topologically nontrivial. To characterize the topology of Bloch bands conveniently, we define a new topological invariant $\nu$, $$\begin{aligned}
(-1)^{\nu} = sgn(\varphi_{Zak}). \label{7}\end{aligned}$$ $\nu=0$ corresponds to a trivial band and $\nu=1$ corresponds to a topologically nontrivial band. Based on this definition, the phases of the system are classified by an integer defined as $Z=\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}$, where $\nu_{1}$ is the topological invariant of the lower occupied band, and $\nu_{2}$ is the topological invariant of the upper occupied band. However, in the following we use $Z(\nu_{1},\nu_{2})$, instead of $Z$, to characterize the phases, because we can directly read the topology of every occupied band from $Z(\nu_{1},\nu_{2})$.
[*Topological phase transitions induced by spin-orbit coupling.—*]{} When $\lambda=\lambda^{'}\neq0$, the degeneracy of the bands is lifted, and only the energy gap between the upper occupied band and the lower unoccupied band can be closed (see Fig.\[fig1\](a)(b)(c)(d)). The condition for the closure of energy gap is now modified

## Syntax
```C
clock_t clock( void );
```
## Return Value
The elapsed time since the CRT initialization at the start of the process, measured in **CLOCKS_PER_SEC** units per second. If the elapsed time is unavailable or has exceeded the maximum positive time that can be recorded as a **clock_t** type, the function returns the value `(clock_t)(-1)`.
## Remarks
The **clock** function tells how much wall-clock time has passed since the CRT initialization during process start. Note that this function does not strictly conform to ISO C, which specifies net CPU time as the return value. To obtain CPU times, use the Win32 [GetProcessTimes](/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-getprocesstimes) function. To determine the elapsed time in seconds, divide the value returned by the **clock** function by the macro **CLOCKS_PER_SEC**.
Given enough time, the value returned by **clock** can exceed the maximum positive value of **clock_t**. When the process has run longer, the value returned by **clock** is always `(clock_t)(-1)`, as specified by the ISO C99 standard (7.23.2.1) and ISO C11 standard (7.27.2.1). Microsoft implements **clock_t** as a **`long`**, a signed 32-bit integer, and the **CLOCKS_PER_SEC** macro is defined as 1000. This gives a maximum **clock** function return value of 2147483.647 seconds, or about 24.8 days. Do not rely on the value returned by **clock** in processes that have run for longer than this amount of time. You can use the 64-bit [time](time-time32-time64.md) function or the Windows [QueryPerformanceCounter](/windows/win32/api/profileapi/nf-profileapi-queryperformancecounter) function to record process elapsed times of many years.

Subject: RE: Part Time/Reduced Hours Employees and PRC
In my opinion, a part time person who may add value in the time that they are
able to work will invariably get "creamed" in the prc, and that might impact
our ability to tap into this talent pool (assuming we want to). I agree that
a part time person can't possibly add as much value (in most cases) as a full

I'm so conflicted on these at times. I mainly dislike the original title: "Sad

There is nothing that says a major key _must_ be "happy" and there is nothing
that says a minor key _must_ be "sad." It's also interesting to note that
google claims that Losing My Religion is in the key of C Major:

Ionian is not the only Major mode, and aeolian is not the only minor mode. For

Mixo is usually considered dominant instead of major. There's also Lydian #6

Human hereditary hepatic porphyrias.
The human hereditary hepatic porphyrias are diseases due to marked deficiencies of enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Porphyrias can be classified as either hepatic or erythroid, depending on the major production site of porphyrins or their precursors. The pathogenesis of inherited hepatic porphyrias has now been defined at the molecular level. Some gene carriers are vulnerable to a range of exogenous and endogenous factors, which may trigger neuropsychiatric and/

CASE DESCRIPTION
================
A 32-year-old woman with hereditary optic atrophy due to mutation of the OPA1 gene was admitted to hospital for dyspnoea. The patient was in an in vitro fertilization program. She had been treated with FSHr and GnRH for ovarian stimulation with subsequent administration of HCGr and implantation of two embryos free of the OPA1 mutation, 5 days before admission. Physical examination revealed grade 2 ascites and bilateral lower limb oedema. Blood analysis showed haemoglobin of 16.6 g/dl, sodium 133 mmol/l, albumin 3.3 g/l and βHCG 200 mU/ml, with preserved renal and hepatic function. Transvaginal ultrasonography demonstrated enlarged ovaries with free fluid in the pelvis and two gestational sacs. Following the diagnosis of OHSS, fluid restriction and thromboembolic prophylaxis were started. On the sixth day after admission, abdominal distension and dyspnoea increased, together with hypotension and signs of haemoconcentration. Ultrasonography demonstrated severe pleural effusion and ascites. Electrocardiogram and echocardiogram findings were within the normal range. Serum albumin and intravenous furosemide were added, alongside repeated paracentesis and thoracentesis. Given the persistence of dyspnoea with refractory pleural effusion, a thoracic drainage tube was placed, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit.
In the following days symptoms persisted and a therapeutic abortion was suggested. Given the similarities between OHSS and idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS), we offered the patient compassionate treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) which has previously proven useful in SCLS. After administration of IVIG (0.5 g/kg/day for 3 consecutive days), the patient showed rapid improvement, and we were able to suspend intravenous furosemide and serum albumin and to remove the thoracic drainage tube. The patient was discharged, and pregnancy has continued normally to date.
DISCUSSION
==========
OHSS is the most severe complication associated with assisted reproductive treatments. Its pathophysiology involves increased capillary permeability that leads to a wide variety of signs and symptoms such as hypotension, ascites and pleural effusion. Although it is generally self-limiting, 5% of patients will develop life-threatening complications^\[[@b1-1253-1-9302-1-10-20190927]\]^. There is no specific treatment, and management is based on the control of fluid balance, thrombo

Acid hydrolysis processes of lignocellulosic materials produce, among others: hexoses (sugars with 6 carbons), such as glucose, galactose and mannose; pentoses (sugars with 5 carbons), such as xylose and arabinose: lignin; furfural; 5-hydromethil furfural; acetic acid; and methanol among others, in variable proportions, depending on the raw material being processed. Known acid hydrolysis processes of lignocellulosic materials are divided into two major groups: processes using concentrated acids and processes utilizing dilute acids.
From the first group, the "Bergius" and "Udic Rheinau" processes stand out, which use 40-45% hydrochloric acid, and the "Riga" process, which uses 75% sulfuric acid.
Although such processes present elevated hydrolysis yields (approximately 94% of the estoichiometrical value), high investments in equipment are required once they should be constructed with material resistant to such strongly concentrated acids. In addition, the manipulation of said acids makes the operation of the process extremely difficult.
Among processes which use dilute acids developed to overcome the drawbacks exposed hereinabove, the "Schoeller" process should be mentioned. According to this process the wood is heated in percolators at 134.degree. C. with the aid of sulfuric acid, thus obtaining, through repeated extractions, sugars with concentration of 2 to 4% in the resulting hydrolysis solution.
It is evident that this process, which is carried out in a batch procedure, presents a yield that is rather below that commercially expected.
In order to improve the process with dilute acid described above, a process namely "Madison" has been developed by the Laboratory of Forest Products of the United States, which uses 0.6% dilute sulfuric acid within the range of 18 m.sup.3 by ton of the dried treated material and is carried out in 3 to 5 hours, reaches a maximum yield of 67% of its estoichiometrical value. Although the "Madison" process is substantially improved relatively to the "Scholler" process, it presents a yield still below the desired. Further, due to the elevated temperature at which it is carried out, the equipment, even when dilute acid is used, must be made from special materials, such as titanium and zirconium, thus elevating the investment value therefor, even though below the investment made in processes wherein strong acids are used.

Since $X \overset{g}{\longrightarrow} Z \overset{h}{\longrightarrow} \hat{Y}$ forms a Markov chain, by Lemma \[lemma:jsd\], the following inequality holds: $${d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}^{\hat{Y}}_S, {\mathcal{D}}^{\hat{Y}}_T) \leq {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}^Z_S, {\mathcal{D}}^Z_T).$$ On the other hand, since ${d_{\text{JS}}}(\cdot, \cdot)$ is a distance metric, we also have: $${d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^Y, {\mathcal{D}}_T^Y) \leq {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^Y, {\mathcal{D}}_S^{\hat{Y}}) + {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^{\hat{Y}}, {\mathcal{D}}_T^{\hat{Y}}) + {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_T^{\hat{Y}}, {\mathcal{D}}_T^Y) \leq {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^Y, {\mathcal{D}}_S^{\hat{Y}}) + {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}^Z_S, {\mathcal{D}}^Z_T) + {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_T^{\hat{Y}}, {\mathcal{D}}_T^Y).$$ Applying Lemma \[lemma:relationship\] to both ${d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^Y, {\mathcal{D}}_S^{\hat{Y}})$ and ${d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_T^{\hat{Y}}, {\mathcal{D}}_T^Y)$ then finishes the proof.
In view of the result in Theorem \[thm:lower\], applying the AM-GM inequality, we have: $$\sqrt{{\varepsilon}_S(h\circ g)} + \sqrt{{\varepsilon}_T(h\circ g)} \leq \sqrt{2\left({\varepsilon}_S(h\circ g) + {\varepsilon}_T(h\circ g)\right)}.$$ Now since ${d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^Y, {\mathcal{D}}_T^Y)\geq {d_{\text{JS}}}({\mathcal{D}}_S^Z, {\mathcal{D}}_T^Z

"CATS," he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE."
I shall be using a battle-ready version of our favorite feline, Ki-T.
Ki-T is not particularly malicious (unless you smell like fish), so don't expect much in the offensive. He does have a few tricks up his sleeve, which will become apparent later.
Please note that this is an adjusted version of a character in my comic; what is shown in the battle is not necessarily canon.
A certain SOMEBODY (SpriteMeister denies everything) has promised Ki-T some premium catfood if he can win the battle. It is rumored that there might be some fishy promises involved, too.
PM Silfedac if you only want the judge to know something about your character, otherwise, post the description in this thread. Either way, I will need a name and motive to fill in the blanks with.I will eventually create a topic that gives the info on past warriors, and you will be able to put your descriptions there.
Crimsonn Draycko was once training to become a paladin. In a freak accident, he injured his mentor and was unable to heal him. The wound eventually healed, but the young man was cast out of the realm and stripped of his title as squire of the Heironean Holy Order. He began a long quest to find his place in the world, and to prove himself. Nervous, shy, ashamed, and unsure of himself, he has wandered several worlds to search out an evil force to vanquish that he may prove himself and be atoned of his mistake.

Constitutionality of Legislation to Establish
a Program to Prevent Aircraft Piracy
Congress may establish jurisdiction in United States courts over individuals who commit the offense of
hijacking outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
In most cases, state and local law enforcement officers would be authorized to make arrests for
violations of the proposed aircraft piracy legislation, either because hijacking airplanes would also
violate state law, or because federal law permits federal enforcement officers to delegate arrest
authority to state and local law enforcement officers and state law permits state and local law
enforcement officers to accept delegated arrest authority.
March 23, 1973
MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
CRIMINAL DIVISION
This is in response to your request for the views of the Office of Legal Counsel
on questions concerning the constitutionality and legality of certain provisions in
proposed legislation (S. 39 and H.R. 3858, 93d Cong.) that would establish a
program to prevent aircraft piracy. The questions, which were raised during the
course of hearings before the Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronautics of
the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, are the following:
I. Federal Jurisdiction
Whether Congress has the power to establish federal jurisdiction over individu-
als who commit the offense of hijacking outside the territorial jurisdiction of the
United States in the event that the government does not choose to extradite the
individual?
II. Arrest Authority of Local Law Enforcement Officers and Private Security
Personnel
A. Whether local law enforcement officers are authorized to arrest for viola-
tions of federal law?
B. Whether the United States may delegate arrest authority to local law en-
forcement officers or private security personnel?
C. Whether private security personnel are authorized to arrest for violations of
federal or local laws?
D. Whether the United States can deputize private personnel as Deputy United
States Marshals?
The constitutional aspects and any relevant statutory authority on these ques-
tions will be discussed seriatim.

I trust much more a pilot practicing manual flying in a simulator than doing

For those like me who, though not a pilot, enjoy watching Aircrash
Investigation and similar programs, and finds the investigations and findings
inspiring/sobering/educational as a software engineer, and like me weren't
aware of the "Children of [the] Magenta" phrase, this article and audio piece
[1] looks a good place to start. The phrase was used in a 1997 presentation -
available publicly [2] - by American Airlines captain Warren Van Der Burgh,
who said that (quoting the article's summary of his words): "The industry has
turned pilots into “Children of the Magenta” who are too dependent on the
guiding magenta-colored lines on their screens." He makes his case with some
very funny lines, too. Quite the humorist: "I got stuff to worry about, don't
I. Heads up stuff. It's probably not a good time to be typing." [3]
immediately precedes his explanation of the phrase.

It's an area of ongoing research as well, e.g. the Humans and Autonomy Lab at
Duke. (Missy Cummings, who is the director of the lab, used to be a Navy
fighter pilot.)
I expect we'll hear a lot more on this topic. Assuming you're at all skeptical
about the timeframe for full automobile driving automation, it seems a
certainty that we'll have a (significant) period when stuff works most of the
time--until it doesn't. And,

Defining the genetic architecture of hypertension remains a central challenge for cardiovascular epidemiology. Technical and analytic advances have now created a clear strategy that can be used to move toward that goal. In the 2 completed grant cycles, over 12,000 participants, including family members and unrelated cases/controls, have been recruited from communities in Nigeria, Jamaica and the US. Significant linkage results have been obtained and candidate genes/pathways have been extensively evaluated. In this application we propose to continue a study of the genetics of

Early activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 kinase regulate cell survival in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha.
Fas ligand and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) bind to members of the TNF receptor superfamily. Stimulation by Fas ligand results in apoptosis, whereas TNF induces multiple effects including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 kinase pathways is common to Fas and TNF signaling; however, their role

Data accessibility and legend
-----------------------------
The complete datasets used in the aGFP database are described in the Legend available from the homepage and it is possible to trace the origin of all datasets. Moreover, data can be downloaded for individual and selected gene sets as a TAB-delimited text. This enables the direct import of downloaded data into spreadsheet editors such as Excel and database software such as Access and FileMaker. This text file contains a list of developmental and morphological stages, normalized expression data for the selected normalization algorithm and data source.
Conclusion
==========
arabidopsisGFP is a microarray expression database of wild type *Arabidopsis thaliana*plants grown under physiological conditions. It gathers data from experiments using Affymetrix ATH1 whole genome arrays with two or more biological replicates. From the outset, it has been created as intuitive user-oriented web-tool employing a \"general-to-specific\" concept enabling the user to obtain certain amount of information at every step with progressive specification and refinement. The aGFP database contains several gene selection and grouping tools including pre-defined gene families. It also provides the user with different gene expression visualization options including a unique \"virtual plant\" graphic display. Easy switching of visualization options gives the user the possibility to rapidly select the most suitable form of data presentation. A novel advantage of the aGFP database is the provision of alternative normalization treatments of microarray data using statistical (MAS5.0) and empirical algorithms (MAS4.0). Together with the facile switch between these detection algorithms it provides the opportunity to instantly assess the reliability of gene expression data. Arabidopsis Gene Family Profiler represents a versatile tool for facile visualization of transcriptomic data that can be exploited in genome-led queries of gene and gene family functions and regulation.
Availability and requirements
=============================
The aGFP database is freely accessible and its concept offers the possibility to extract and visualize expression profiles of individual genes, gene sets, gene families or gene superfamilies from a broad spectrum of microarray experiments covering various *Arabidopsis*organs, tissues and developmental stages. For these purposes, an innovative graphic concept of the \"virtual plant\" was introduced representing a clear and simple visualization of gene expression profiles in a morphological and developmental context. The arabidopsisGFP database is accessible at <http://agfp.ueb.cas.cz/>.

The Association Mapping I created is for meta_keyword_reference; The complete Entity is found here.
/**
* @var int|null
*
* @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="MetaKeyword")
* @ORM\JoinColumn(name="meta_keyword_reference", referencedColumnName="reference")
* @ORM\Column(name="meta_keyword_reference", type="bigint", nullable=true)
*/
private $metaKeywordReference;
I have not made any changes to the MetaKeywords Entity. It is found here.
Overall the various sections of the web site will share the meta_keywords. If I understand correctly the connection I am trying to make is ManyToOne.
I am wanting to leave a good reference for other newbies as they are their journey with Zend Framework 3 - Doctrine. Please advise of edits I should be making to this post so it is clear, understandable and concise so I receive the help I need and others will benefit from this in the future.
A:
You double declared a column (meta_keyword_reference). Looking at the docs (same page you linked in question), you've made a mistake in your Annotation. Remove the ORM\Column line (the definition is already in JoinColumn). If you need it to be nullable (not required), add nullable=true to the JoinColumn; use either, not both
/**
* @var int|null
*
* @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="MetaKeyword")
* @ORM\JoinColumn(name="meta_keyword_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=true)
*/
private $metaKeywordReference;
Do not worry about declaring a "type", Doctrine will automatically match it to the column you're referencing. Also, you should be referencing Primary Keys. I've assumed reference is not the PK, so I've changed it to id, change it to what it actually is.
Next, I think you're also using DBAL QueryBuilder instead of the ORM QueryBuilder.
The Query you need would be like this:
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\Expr\Join;
use Doctrine\ORM\QueryBuilder;
/** @var QueryBuilder $qb */
$qb = $this->entityManager->createQueryBuilder();

2. Summary of the Prior Art
The prior art is exemplified by Shapland U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,668 issued December 1977 and also patents of Metacon AG U.S. Pat. No. 4,269,399 and 4,273,315.
As to the Shapland U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,668 it should be noted that it utilizes bilaterally symmetrical slide gates and top plates. While the use on a bottom pour vessel such as a ladle, where there is substantial clearance, has been highly satisfactory; when employed on the side of a furnace where extensive auxiliary equipment appears, space limitations can cause a problem.
Moreover, in the application of sliding gate valves of the aforementioned type, a particular undesirable wear phenomenon occurs. Specifically, it has been found that a depression, or pocket, is generated by erosion forces in the wall of the opening through the fixed plate adjacent its sliding surface and limited to the region thereof that faces the direction of movement of the slide gate upon valve closure. Continued cycling of the valve by moving the slide gate between its open and closed positions increases the effects of these erosion forces causing an enlargement of the depression. Such erosion can be accommodated in a bottom pour vessel as shown in FIGS. 10-13 inclusive of U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,668. However, the presence of such a pocket in a vertically disposed valve, as on the sidewall of a metal processing furnace, requires consideration. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,269,399 and 4,273,315 disclose sliding gate valve arrangements that utilize a slide gate which closes the valve as the gate is moved downwardly. This has the distinct disadvantage that the erosion pocket occurs in the wall of the stationary plate and faces upwardly. The pocket, therefore, provides a receptacle in which slag or metal may collect and solidify. The solidification of this collected metal and slag not only creates abrasion of the refractory parts but can accumulate to an amount that causes the plates to be displaced from one another whereby molten metal can leak into the space created between the plates. When this occurs the valve is rendered inoperative until the refractory plates can be replaced.
Furthermore, with the valves which close in the down position, upon opening the metal cascades from an upper position to a lower position on the pour nozzle causing a free-fall area which initially cteates a turbulence and additional errosion

Wargrave railway station
Wargrave railway station is a railway station in the village of Wargrave in Berkshire, England. The station is on the Henley-on-Thames branch line that links the towns of Henley-on-Thames and Twyford. It is down the line from Twyford and measured from .
It is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway, and is a ten-minute walk from Wargrave High Street.
The station has a single platform, which is used by trains in both directions and is long enough to accommodate a four coach train. There is a 30 space car park, but no station building other than a simple shelter. The station is unmanned, and tickets must purchased on the train.
History
When the Great Western Railway opened the Henley Branch Line on 1 June 1857, the only intermediate station was .
The Great Western Railway provided no station at Wargrave; apparently it considered Twyford station close enough. After many complaints from the villagers the GWR opened a station in 1900. At the time the line was double, so two platforms and a footbridge were provided. The line was singled again in June 1961, rendering the second platform and footbridge redundant.
The station retained its Great Western Railway building until 1988 when British Rail demolished it on the grounds that it was unsafe.
Service
In normal service, there is a regular service between Henley-on-Thames station and Twyford station. During the morning and evening peak hours, all trains call at Wargrave. However, off-peak, only every alternate service calls at Wargrave in each direction. On weekdays, trains operate every 45 mins in the morning and evening peak, reducing to hourly during the day. On weekends, trains operate hourly throughout the day. During the morning and evening rush hours some services run through to/from London Paddington station, whilst a few off-peak trains run through to/from Reading station. At other times, passengers for Paddington and Reading must change at Twyford.
During the Henley Royal Regatta, held every July, a special timetable is operated with additional trains. During this period, the service pattern for Wargrave is subject to change.

Geometrical preliminaries
=========================
The geometry of the spacetime is given by the affine Minkowski space ${\mathcal{M}}$. If a reference point $O$ is chosen, then each point $P$ in ${\mathcal{M}}$ is represented by a vector $x$ in the associated Minkowski vector space $M$ according to . We mostly keep $O$ fixed and use this representation. The Minkowski product is denoted by a dot, $x\cdot y$, and we write $x^2=x\cdot x$. If a Minkowski basis $(e_0,\ldots,e_3)$ in $M$ is chosen, then we denote . We also then use the standard multi-index notation $x^{\alpha}=(x^0)^{{\alpha}_0}\!\ldots
(x^3)^{{\alpha}_3}$, , $D^{\beta}={\partial}_0^{{\beta}_0}\!\ldots\,{\partial}_3^{{\beta}_3}$, where ${\partial}_a={\partial}/{\partial}x^a$. We associate with the chosen Minkowski basis a Euclidean metric with unit matrix in that basis, and denote by $|x|$ the norm of $x$ in that metric. We briefly recall the definitions of test functions spaces used in [@her08]. Let $\phi(x)$ be a smooth tensor or spinor field (with vector representation of points) and define for ${\kappa}\geq0$, $l=0,1,\dots$ the seminorms $$\|{\varphi}\|_{{\kappa},l}=\sup(1+|x|)^{\kappa}|D^{\beta}{\varphi}_j(x)|\,,$$ where supremum is taken over $x\in M$, all ${\beta}$ such that $|{\beta}|=l$ and $j$ running over the components of the field. Then ${\mathcal{S}}_{\kappa}$ is the space of all smooth fields of a given geometrical type for which all seminorms $\|.\|_{{\kappa}+l,l}$ with fixed ${\kappa}$ are finite. Denote moreover the operators on smooth functions $H=x\cdot\partial$ and $H_{\kappa}=H+{\kappa}\operatorname{id}$. Then the space ${\mathcal{S}}^{\kappa}_{{\kappa}+{\epsilon}}$ consists of all fields which under the action of $H_{\kappa}$ fall into ${\mathcal{S}}_{{\kappa}+{\epsilon}}$. Each field ${\varphi}\in{\mathcal{S}}_{{\kappa}+{\epsilon}}^{\kappa}$ has an asymptote $${\
