If the whole record has within it the substantial evidence that is required to sustain the finding, that evidence must be found in the testimony of Dr. James G. Jones. He was a specialist in internal medicine and at the time of the hearing had been practicing for a year in the City of Houston. He had never examined Gee and so his testimony was based upon the clinical and hospital records, upon X-rays and upon the hypotheses incorporated in the questions of counsel. The doctor expressed the opinion that the fertilizer masked Gee's true condition and delayed a diagnosis of cancer so that it progressed beyond the stage at which treatment might have been given which probably would have prolonged his life by as much as two or three months. If his life was not prolonged, it can be said that his death was accelerated. But this is not all that Dr. Jones said in his testimony. The prolongation of Gee's life would probably have resulted if there had been an early diagnosis of cancer. He 'guessed' that the pleural effusion, which he opined was masked by the effect of the fertilizer incident, had existed for several weeks prior to the incident. On cross-examination he gave an affirmative answer to this question,

The unmasked localized reconstruction using the sub-particles of the vertex region was performed to determine the orientation of P2 with respect to the viral capsid and avoid any bias by masking. From the localized reconstruction, we now know that the P2 protein is on average present only on 2 vertices of the viral particle. We can also notice that all the vertices display the presence of P5 that would also contribute to map densities (i.e., the highly flexible C-terminal regions with the collagen-like triple helix and the knob domain that are not resolved in the icosahedrally averaged map used to generate the projection for signal subtraction) during the focused classification. These issues along with the caveat mentioned by the reviewers will significantly reduce the resolution. By applying a focus mask around the P2 protein to address some of the issues, we would essentially bias the very orientation that we plan to determine. Hence, we have avoided using whole particles for focused classification of P2. Instead, we provide the P2 map from the masked classification without re-alignment of sub-particles whose orientation was previously determined without using a mask from localized reconstruction. This ensures that the features observed are not due to masking. We have provided two images, one with the map generated by re-aligned sub-particles (previously submitted) and another with a masked map without realignment (submitted here as part of the supporting files). We believe that the Figure 5, currently in the manuscript, illustrates the structure of the vertex complex, best.
We do agree that having a resolution beyond 3 Å for an asymmetric reconstruction would be better to access the heteropentameric nature of the penton. The resolution of the maps from the localized reconstruction and focused classification should be sufficient to assess the secondary structure and domain fit for the proteins P31, P5 N-terminal domain and P2.

However, in the case of a medium using a dye in a recording layer, the recording layer is usually formed by spin-coating. An optical disc substrate has a groove, and when a recording layer is formed by spin-coating, the recording layer is formed on the whole surface of the substrate ranging from the further inside of the groove at the inner peripheral portion of the substrate to the outermost edge of the substrate.
Taking into consideration the adhesion between the protective layer and the reflective layer, it is demanded to remove the recording layer at the inner peripheral and outer peripheral portions of the substrate and form a protective layer extending over the peripheries of the recording layer and the reflective layer as proposed by Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. Hei 2-183442 and 2-236833.
In order to form the protective layer extending over both the recording layer and the reflective layer as shown, for example, in FIG. 4, it is necessary to provide a portion where the substrate is exposed at each of the inside of the innermost periphery and the outside of the outermost periphery (outermost edge) of the recording layer.
For the purpose of forming such a structure, heretofore, the recording layer formed at each of the outer and the inner peripheral portions has been removed. For example, the recording layer at the outer peripheral portion of the substrate can be easily removed by dropping a solvent to the peripheral portion while rotating the substrate.
On the contrary, the recording layer at the inner peripheral portion can not be removed by the same method as that used for removing the recording layer at the outer peripheral portion, but is removed only by, for example, wiping the recording layer away with a solvent or burning the recording layer with laser as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2-183442.
However, according to the present inventors' investigation, those methods are complicated and of less productivity, and the recording layer can not be completely removed. And we have found that the adhesion of the protective layer is not sufficient, and therefore when the medium is allowed to stand under high temperature and high humidity conditions for a long period of time, the peeling strength at the inner peripheral portion is poor so that peeling occurs at the inner peripheral portion.
Alternatively, a recording layer at the inner peripheral portion can be removed as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2-236833. That is, a reflective layer is formed on a recording layer in such a way that | uspto_backgrounds |
Peace talks
During the Central American Peace Accords negotiations in 1987, the FMLN demanded that all death squads be disbanded and the members be held accountable. In October 1987, the Salvadoran Assembly approved an amnesty for civil-war-related crimes. The Amnesty law required the release of all prisoners suspected of being guerrillas and guerrilla sympathizers. Pursuant to these laws, 400 political prisoners were released. Insurgents were given a period of fifteen days to turn themselves over to the security forces in exchange for amnesty. Despite amnesty being granted to guerillas and political prisoners, amnesty was also granted to members of the army, security forces and paramilitary who were involved in human rights abuses.
Army death squads continue
In October 1988, Amnesty International reported that death squads had abducted, tortured, and killed, hundreds of suspected dissidents in the proceeding eighteen months. Most of the victims were trade unionists and members of cooperatives, human rights workers, members of the judiciary involved in efforts to establish criminal responsibility for human rights violations, returned refugees and displaced persons, and released political prisoners.
The squads comprised intelligence sections of the Armed Forces and the security services. They customarily wore plain clothes and made use of trucks or vans with tinted windows and without license plates. They were "chillingly efficient", said the report. Victims were sometimes shot from passing cars, in the daytime and in front of eyewitnesses. At other times, victims were kidnapped from their homes or on the streets and their bodies found dumped far from the scene. Others were forcefully "disappeared." Victims were "customarily found mutilated, decapitated, dismembered, strangled or showing marks of torture or rape." The death squad style was "to operate in secret but to leave mutilated bodies of victims as a means of terrifying the population."
FMLN offensive of 1989 and retaliation
Outraged by the results of the 1988 fixed elections and the military's use of terror tactics and voter intimidation, the FMLN launched a major offensive with the aim of unseating the government of President Alfredo Cristiani on November 11, 1989. This offensive brought the epicenter of fighting into the wealthy suburbs of San Salvador for essentially the first time in the history of the conflict, as the FMLN began a campaign of selective assassinations against political and military officials, civil officials, and upper-class private | wikipedia_en |
In general, conventional ranking models (e.g. BM25) rely on a manually designed ranking function and require heuristic optimization for parameters [@Liu2009; @Chapelle2011]. In the age of information explosion, this one-size-fits-all solution is no longer adequate. For instance, it is well known that links to a web page are an important source of information in web document search [@Brin1998], hence using the link information as well as the relevance between a query and a document is crucial for better ranking. In this regard, learning to rank [@Liu2009] has drawn much attention as a scheme to learn how to combine diverse features. Given feature vectors of documents and their relevance levels, a learning to rank approach learns an optimal way of weighting and combining multiple features.
We argue that the single scores (or features) produced by BM25 and our proposed semantic measure complement each other, thus merging these two has a synergistic effect. To confirm this, we measured the impact on document ranking by combining BM25 and semantic scores using the learning to rank approach, LamdaMART [@Burges2008; @Burges2010]. Trained on PubMed user queries and their click-through data, we evaluated the search performance based on the most highly ranked 20 documents. As a result, we found that using our semantic measure further improved the performance of BM25.
Taken together, we make the following important contributions in this work. First, to the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first investigation of query-document similarity for information retrieval using the recently proposed Word Mover’s Distance. Second, we modify the original Word Mover’s Distance algorithm so that it is computationally less expensive and thus more practical and scalable for real-world search scenarios (e.g. biomedical literature search). Third, we measure the actual impact of neural word embeddings in PubMed by utilizing user queries and relevance information derived from click-through data. Finally, on TREC and PubMed datasets, our proposed method achieves stronger performance than BM25.

A common approach to computing similarity between texts (e.g. phrases, sentences or documents) is to take a centroid of word embeddings, and evaluate an inner product or cosine similarity between centroids[^1] [@Nalisnick2016; @Furnas1988]. This has found use in classification and clustering because they seek an overall topic of each document. However, taking a simple centroid is not a good approximator for calculating | arxiv |

[1] The order sustaining demurrer reads in pertinent part: "The matter is duly argued and submitted to the court for consideration and decision and the court after due consideration orders said demurrer sustained on grounds that the complaint fails to state a cause of action." The trial court made no ruling on the second ground of the demurrer although respondents seek to justify the court's order and judgment of dismissal on that ground also. We note the demurrer does not specify the name of the "indispensable party" (Kreling v. Kreling, 118 Cal. 413, 420 [50 P. 546]) although supporting points and authorities referred to "the county." Thus in the light of this, the order sustaining the demurrer and the absence of any mention therein of the second ground we cannot speculate whether the trial court considered the second ground of the demurrer and if it did, whether it found it to be a valid one.

A truly large refactoring is one that you want to try long before getting
everything to compile.

Let's try it with five operations; I know that such and such features of the
program only use those. Let's build the inconsistent program and try it out

The dynamic world lets us have inconsistent code that partially works, rather
than forcing us to follow up on all the places reached by the ripple effect of
a change. Maybe the change turns out to be a bad idea in the end; then it was
a waste of effort.
Psychologically, having to deal with a big ripple effect is discouraging; it
creates an "activation potential barrier" which opposes change.

This is why Haskell recently got a flag to turn type errors into warnings: now
you came make a change, get a bunch of type errors (as warnings!) and fix them
one at a time, loading and testing each part as you change it. You don't have
to update everything to play around with your module.
This isn't dynamic typing though: if you tried to use an expression that did
not typecheck, you will get a runtime value immediately. It's the moral
equivalent of automatically replacing the broken expression with an
`undefined` exception.

The first randomized controlled trial (RCT) measuring the effect of the Sonas programme was conducted in 2003 by Jackson et al. \[[@B18]\]. All 75 participants were randomly selected to either attend a weekly Sonas session for 8 weeks or be part of the control group where the participants received standard care. No significant differences were found between the groups in relation to aggression, agitation, depression or cognitive impairment. A recent pilot RCT \[[@B15]\] included 36 residents with moderate to severe dementia, of whom 20 participated in Sonas sessions twice weekly over a period of 7 weeks; no statistically significant differences in depression, anxiety, communication, and QoL were reported. However, there was some improvement for both groups in relation to depression and anxiety, where the control group demonstrated greater improvement than the Sonas group. Further, the Sonas group demonstrated an improvement in communication ability and QoL, as well as a greater reduction in behavioural and mood disturbance than the control group.
The need for high-quality research investigating psychosocial interventions for older people with dementia has been emphasized \[[@B19]\]. In addition, only few studies have investigated the effectiveness of techniques to improve communication for people with dementia, which is of importance as communication is essential for social life of people regardless of cognitive function \[[@B20]\]. With just few published studies examining the effect of the Sonas programme, some showing methodological limitations, short duration and small sample sizes, the overall aim of this study was to examine the effect of the Sonas programme on communication ability for people with moderate to severe dementia living in a nursing home. The secondary aim was to explore if any effect could be related to cognitive function and different aspects of communication.

Q:
Can I use the phrase, “open and shut” for other subjects than legal cases?
There was the following passage in New York Times (April 28) under the title,
“In Baltimore, we’re all Freddie Gray.”:
“We’ve watched as Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, in conjunction with
Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts, spent over a week investigating
what appears to be an open-and-shut case. I’d like to think that if I
broke a person’s neck for no reason, I’d be charged in minutes. But
the system — even when it’s run by a black mayor and a majority of the
City Council is black — protects the police, no matter how blatant and
brutal they are.
As I am unfamiliar with the expression,“open and shut,” I searched the meaning on Google, and found the following definition by the Free Dictionary among several sources:
Open and shut - If a legal case or problem is open and shut, the facts
are very clear and it is easy to make a decision or find a solution
Is the usage of idiom, “open and shut” limited to legal matters? If it came from the instantaneous action of opening and shutting something like a box or drawer, why can’t we use it on anything, questions (e.g. simple calculation) or problems that are manifest or easy to solve other than legal cases?
A:
An expression generally , but not exclusively, used referring to legal matters :
Open-and-shut case:
a legal case or other matter that is easy to decide or solve. (Oxford Learner's)
Open-and-shut case
a simple and straightforward situation without complications. (Often said of criminal cases where the evidence is convincing.)
The murder trial was an open-and-shut case. The defendant was caught with the murder weapon. Bob's death was an open-and-shut case of suicide. He left a suicide note.

One type of post-drilling test involves producing fluid from the reservoir, collecting samples, shutting-in the well and allowing the pressure to build-up to a static level. This sequence may be repeated several times for different reservoirs within a given borehole. This type of test is known as a xe2x80x9cPressure Build-up Testxe2x80x9d. One of the important aspects of the data collected during such a test is the pressure build-up information gathered after drawing the pressure down. From this data, information can be derived as to permeability, and size of the reservoir. Further, actual samples of the reservoir fluid are obtained, and tested to gather Pressure-Volume-Temperature data relevant to the reservoir""s hydrocarbon distribution.
In order to perform these important tests, it is currently necessary to retrieve the drill string from the well borehole. Thereafter, a different tool, designed for the testing, is run into the well borehole. A wireline is often used to lower a test tool into the well borehole. The test tool sometimes utilizes packers for isolating the reservoir. Numerous communication devices have been designed which provide for manipulation of the test tool, or alternatively, provide for data transmission from the test tool. Some of those designs include signaling from the surface of the Earth with pressure pulses, through the fluid in the well borehole, to or from a downhole microprocessor located within, or associated with the test tool. Alternatively, a wire line can be lowered from the surface, into a landing receptacle located within a test tool, establishing electrical signal communication between the surface and the test assembly. Regardless of the type of test tool and type of communication system used, the amount of time and money required for retrieving the drill string and running a second test tool into the borehole is significant. Further, if the borehole is highly deviated, a wire line tool is difficult to use to perform the testing.
There is also another type of problem, related to downhole pressure conditions, which can occur during drilling. The density of the drilling fluid is calculated to achieve maximum drilling efficiency while maintaining safety, and the density is dependent upon the desired relationship between the weight of the drilling mud column and the downhole pressures which will be encountered. As different formations are penetrated during drilling, the downhole pressures can change significantly. Currently available devices do not accurately sense the formation pressure as the drill bit penetrates the formation. The actual formation pressure could be lower than expected, allowing the | uspto_backgrounds |
Darren James Wright (born 14 March 1968) is an English former footballer, who played as a defender. Originally a centre-back in his youth, he played professionally at full-back. He is the current head coach of the Kernow football team in Non-FIFA football.
Playing career
Wright would get his start at Wolverhampton Wanderers, the club he supported, playing for their second team whilst still in school, however he would only make one senior appearance for the club – an away match at Plymouth Argyle.
In 1986 he would sign for Wrexham, where he would make 110 appearances in 4 years, winning Young Player of the Season in both the 1987–88 and 1988–89 seasons.
His Wrexham and fully professional career would come to an end through cruciate and cartilage damage in his knee, sustained in a match with Doncaster Rovers in a 50/50 challenge with forward Mark Rankine.
After his recovery, he would move to non-league football with Worcester City, spending a year at the Worcestershire club.
He would then move to Cheltenham Town, where, during his two-year spell there he would win promotion from the Doc Martens league to the Conference, and the FA Trophy.
After Cheltenham, he would move to Stafford Rangers before ending his career at Halesowen Town.
Coaching career
After football, Wright would hold many coaching jobs, including senior team coach at Rushall Olympic, assistant manager at Continental Star and coaching youths at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He managed Panjab in 2016, taking them to the final of the 2016 ConIFA World Football Cup. In 2018 he took charge of the first Kernow football team.
Personal life
During a charity game he played for Wrexham Veterans against Mold Alexandra on 12 July 2014, Wright suffered a heart attack. He made a full recovery and was still playing charity matches in 2015.

@even09 require the choosing of two boundary points for the donor star, each on the line of centers between the stars and on opposite sides of the donor. For our initial model, instead of fixing the boundary point closest to the accretor in space, we define it to be the L1 Lagrange point. This sets $\Psi_0$ for the accretor to $\Psi_{L1} + h\left[0\right]$, where $\Psi_{L1}$ is the effective potential at the L1 point. This ensures the donor Roche lobe is filled. The donor WD is taken to be 100 % helium. For hybrid accretor models, the core is taken to contain an evenly distributed mixture of equal parts of carbon and oxygen, while the envelope is 100 % helium. The non-hybrid accretor contains equal parts carbon and oxygen throughout.
Because the discretization used for the initial conditions and the discretization that results from writing the time invariant version of the semi-discrete evolution equations are not exactly the same, the initial model is not in exact equilibrium when it begins evolving. As a result, the outer edges of each star diffuse slightly at the very beginning of the simulation. In the case of the donor, this causes Roche lobe overflow, leading to mass transfer.
SPH code
--------
Smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) merger calculations were carried out in SNSPH [@fryer06]. The code contains a highly scalable hashed oct-tree data structure [@warren95] to support efficient neighbor finding and is coupled with a multipole expansion to calculate the gravitational potential and was run with a traditional SPH scheme with the cold WD EOS and standard ($\alpha = 2, \beta = 1$) artificial viscosity parameters.
Our SPH simulations contain the same initial data as the grid-based calculations, being generated from the self-consistent-field (SCF) code. Initial particle distributions were prepared with the method in @diehl15 which converts cylindrical grid-based data into a particle representation and iteratively re-arranges particles to recover a distribution reminiscent of Weighted Voronoi Tessellation (WVT) initial conditions. Setups for each pair of stars contained $\sim 20$M particles of nearly equal mass[^2]. Each star in the WD binary system was subsequently allowed to relax individually for a short period of time prior to the merger calculation to prevent stellar oscillations and premature WD heating.
Merger calculations were run on 256 cores and required approximately | arxiv |

Motion for Transfer to Supreme Court Denied March 1, 2005.
ROBERT G. ULRICH, Judge.
Frank Nease appeals the decision of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission disqualifying him from unemployment benefits for six weeks. The appeal is dismissed as moot.
Mr. Nease applied for unemployment benefits after he was discharged by his employer, Independent Living Resource Center, Inc. A deputy with the Division of Employment Security determined that Mr. Nease was disqualified for benefits for four weeks because he was discharged for misconduct connected with work. Mr. Nease appealed, and the Appeals Tribunal modified the deputy's determination deciding that Mr. Nease was disqualified for benefits for six weeks. Mr. Nease then appealed to the Commission, which affirmed the decision of the Appeals Tribunal. This appeal followed.
The Division filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Nease's appeal, which was taken with the case, arguing that no justifiable issue exists, and, therefore, Mr. Nease's case is now moot. It contends that Mr. Nease has received the maximum amount of unemployment benefits and cannot receive any additional benefits should he prevail on appeal. Mr. Nease responded to the motion arguing that dismissal of his appeal would deprive him of the liberty interest in his good name and judicial review of the decision of the Division finding that he engaged in misconduct at work. He also argues that his case presents issues of general importance that are likely to recur yet evade judicial review.
A case is moot when the question presented for decision seeks a judgment upon some matter that, if the judgment is rendered, would not have any practical effect upon any then existing controversy.

The present invention relates to a technology for performing a sheet folding operation by conveying a recording medium through a plurality of conveying paths.
2. Description of the Related Art
Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. S62-68973 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. H04-64577 disclose a sheet folding device that performs a folding operation such as an operation of folding a recording medium (hereinafter, “sheet”) in a Z fold. In such a sheet folding device, when a sheet is conveyed in a first conveying path toward a pair of folding rollers, the leading end of the sheet is brought into contact with a first stopper in the first conveying path, so that a portion of the sheet is bent by the first stopper. The bending portion is then conveyed between the folding rollers whereby a first folding operation is performed on the sheet to fold the sheet. The folded sheet is then conveyed toward a second stopper in a second conveying path, and the same process as in the first conveying path is performed in the second conveying path, so that a second folding operation is performed on the sheet to fold the sheet again. Each of the first conveying path and the second conveying path is formed by guide plates arranged on opposite sides of the sheet in a thickness direction.
However, in the sheet folding device described above, a space between the guide plates in the first conveying path is the same as that in the second conveying path, and the size of the space is not particularly specified for each of the first conveying path and the second conveying path. When the above folding operation is performed on a sheet, the sheet passing through each of the conveying paths has a different thickness, and every time the folding operation is performed on the sheet, the thickness of the sheet is increased. Specifically, the sheet passing through the first conveying path has the thickness of the original sheet because the folding operation has not been performed on the sheet yet. The sheet passing through the second conveying path has the thickness of double the original sheet because the sheet has been folded. Thus, because the thickness of the sheet is increased after the folding operation, a problem can occur if the space between the guide plates is the same in the first conveying path and the second conveying path. If the space between the guide plates is larger than the thickness of the sheet, it is difficult to convey the sheet in a stable manner or to fold the sheet at an appropriate position. On the other hand, if the space between the guide plates is smaller than the thickness of the sheet, friction between the | uspto_backgrounds |

Deluxe version: Bang! The Bullet!
A deluxe version of Bang!, called Bang! The Bullet!, was released in 2007.
This set included three of the official expansions, High Noon (second edition), Dodge City, and A Fistful of Cards (second edition), along with several extras:
A Sheriff's Badge
Three special character cards:
Uncle Will – Once during his turn, he may play any card from hand as a General Store. This card is a reference to Will Niebling, former CEO of Mayfair Games (which published the game in the USA until 2008).
Johnny Kisch – Each time he puts a card into play, all other cards in play with the same name are discarded. This card is a reference to Jo Nikisch, CEO of Abacus Spiele, the German publisher of the game.
Claus "The Saint" – He draws one more card than the number of players, keeps 2 for himself, then gives 1 to each player. This card was a bonus, "unglued" card originally included in the online daVinci newsletter. The author considers this card to be quite unbalanced and not suited for serious play
Two additional High Noon cards:
New Identity – At the beginning of their turn each player looks at the character he is using to keep track of his life points. He may switch to the new identity for the rest of the game, starting with 2 life points.
Handcuffs – After drawing his cards in phase 1, the player whose turn it is names a suit: he can only play cards of that suit during his turn.
Two blank cards – one for a character and one for a normal card.

Let $G$ be a non-abelian $p$-valuable abelian-by-procyclic group with principal subgroup $H$, and let $C$ be a closed subgroup of $G$. Then $C$ is abelian-by-procyclic.
Furthermore, if $N$ is a closed, isolated normal subgroup of $G$, then $\frac{G}{N}$ is $p$-valuable, abelian-by-procyclic.
Let $H':=C\cap H$, then clearly $H'$ is a closed, isolated, abelian normal subgroup of $C$.\
Now, $\frac{C}{H'}=\frac{C}{H\cap C}\cong\frac{CH}{H}\leq\frac{G}{H}\cong\mathbb{Z}_p$, hence $\frac{C}{H'}$ is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of $\mathbb{Z}_p$, i.e. it is isomorphic to either 0 or $\mathbb{Z}_p$.\
If $\frac{C}{H'}=0$ then $C=H'=H\cap C$ so $C\subseteq H$. Hence $C$ is abelian, and therefore abelian-by-procyclic.\
If $\frac{C}{H'}\cong\mathbb{Z}_p$ then $C$ is abelian-by-procyclic by definition.\
For $N\trianglelefteq_o^i G$, it follows from [@Lazard [slowromancap4@]{}.3.4.2] that $\frac{G}{N}$ is $p$-valuable, and clearly $\frac{HN}{N}$ is a closed, abelian normal subgroup of $G$.\
Consider the natural surjection of groups $\mathbb{Z}_p\cong\frac{G}{H}\twoheadrightarrow{}\frac{G}{HN}\cong\frac{G/N}{HN/N}$:\
If the kernel of this map is zero, then it is an isomorphism, so $\frac{G/N}{HN/N}\cong\mathbb{Z}_p$, so $\frac{G}{N}$ is abelian-by-procyclic by definition.\
If the kernel is non-zero, then $\frac{G}{HN}$ is a non-trivial quotient of $\mathbb{Z}_p$, and hence is finite, giving that $HN$ is open in $G$. So $\frac{HN}{N}$ is abelian | arxiv |

Google Translate has since improved significantly, however we’re not quite convinced that Pixel Buds, the real-time translator, will work any better despite media claims. In one sales pitch on behalf of the Cupertino-based tech giant, online magazine Engadget had this to say about Google Pixel Buds – despite only witnessing a 5-minute display on a San Francisco stage:
“You’ll be able to walk up to nearly anybody in another country and hold a fluid, natural language conversation without the need for pantomime and large hand gestures, or worry of offending with a mispronunciation. International commerce and communication could become as mundane as making a local phone call. The frictions of international diplomacy could be smoothed as well, ensuring that not only are a diplomat’s words faithfully translated but that a copy of the conversation is recorded well.”
Nevertheless, google translate does not translate language in a “fluid” and “natural” way. It makes a sentence understandable – which is about as much as machine translations have advanced in the past two years. Granted, translation apps have come a long way since Altavista launched Babel Fish in 1997, but they also have a long way to go before they are fluid and natural.
How does Google Translate work?
Like most technology Google produces these days, their new translations device principally works on foundations built by artificial intelligence. Google bots have a vast network of data they can tap into where their machines match words which appear to be parallel between two different languages.
The artificial intelligence then crunches this data to determine the most probable word in which language A corresponds to language B. Google Translate therefore is statistical guesswork based on conversations between foreign counterparts.
Although Google has ambitions to “pursue human quality translation and develop machine translation systems” statistical machine translation will never be 100% accurate. However, it is estimated that the accuracy of translations is set between 80-90%.
As a result, we cannot argue that Google Translate is a useful holiday companion. But if you need accurate translations for professional or business purposes such as legal, medical or marketing, the only solution is to work with an expert translation agency specialising in providing business translation services. Such companies will guarantee accuracy and reliability and ensure that your content is precisely localised for the target market or customer.
Translation companies such as TS24 will be able to not only carefully and accurately translate your content, but will also be able | pile-cc |

OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Murray Alan Coats appeals a decision of the district court denying
his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, see 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1997), which challenged his North Carolina convic-
tions. Coats argues that the district court applied an incorrect standard
of review in considering the decision of the state postconviction court.
Coats further contends that the district court erred in denying him
relief on the basis of violations of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83
(1963), and ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding no error, we
affirm.
I.
Coats was convicted in 1989 by a North Carolina court on two
counts of first-degree sexual offense, see N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-27.4
(1993), and one count of second-degree kidnapping, see N.C. Gen.
Stat. § 14-39 (1993). Coats' victim testified that she was working at
a convenience store when Coats forced her at gunpoint to leave the
store and accompany him to a barn where he forced her to remove her
clothes and perform oral sex on him for an hour or more. She also tes-
tified that Coats penetrated her vagina with his finger. Coats' convic-
tions were affirmed by the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and the
North Carolina Supreme Court denied discretionary review.
In 1993, having obtained new counsel, Coats filed a motion for
appropriate relief in the Wake County Superior Court asserting that
2
his trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective, that Coats had dis-
covered evidence having a direct and material bearing upon his inno-
cence, and that the prosecutor had engaged in misconduct by failing
to disclose the evidence. An evidentiary hearing was held in Decem-
ber 1994, after which the state-court judge denied Coats' motion,
finding in pertinent part that trial counsel was not constitutionally
ineffective, that the newly discovered evidence was not material, and
that the prosecutor had not engaged in misconduct. The North Caro-
lina Court of Appeals then denied certiorari. Coats subsequently filed
this petition for a writ of habeas corpus in January 1997, and the dis-
trict court granted summary judgment against him | freelaw |

The best is G4FON's Morse Trainer, requires Windows, works on Wine.
[http://www.g4fon.net/](http://www.g4fon.net/)
Edit: You'll have to navigate to the Morse Trainer link from the main page.
Also, it's the best because it has knobs for all the variables -- speed,
number of characters sent, even options to add QRM (interference) and variable
sending speed (imitating very well someone with an unsteady fist).
As an aside, it's pointless to learn code visually. It's only really useable
as an auditory messaging system.

What? When I was a kid, it was common for camping flashlights to have pressure
buttons on the side, which was intended for (and we used for) morse code.
Ships used bright, shuttered lights for Morse code, soldiers used it, scouts
used it, kids communicated with friends in the neighborhood at night.

OK, yes, but it's still the rhythm of the flashes that are being interpreted,

Plus, I am willing to bet that far more messages using Morse are sent over

Maybe three years ago I dove into cheap SDR receivers for a few months,
exploring different SDR devices, different frequency bands, different
decoders, etc.
One really surprising thing was how little morse code was to be found. And
when I did find it, the decoders (like fldigi) were unreliable in decoding.
I'm not sure if it was because of their decoding algorithms or if the senders
simply had too much variance in their timing.
The bit of traffic I did decode was simply exchanges of contact so each could
log a new call sign in their books. I'm not sure what I was expecting to find:
because the bits seemed to be "secret" due to my ignorance of morse code, my

Lung endothelium has historically been considered a homogeneous and metabolically inactive cell layer. However, we now know that lung endothelium is richly diverse in structure and function, and actively participates in normal vascular homeostasis, the response to lung injury, and vascular repair following injury. This Program Project Grant is founded on the hypothesis that endothelium lining the lung's extra-alveolar and alveolar blood vessels is phenotypically distinct, and that the unique behaviors of cells from these different vascular locations is necessary for them to fulfill | nih_exporter |
Cyclic stretch (CS) mediates different cellular functions in vascular smooth muscle cells and involves in neointimal hyperplasia and subsequent atherosclerosis of vein grafts. Here, we investigated whether CS can modulate stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha)/CXCR4 axis in human saphenous vein smooth muscle cells. We found CS induced the upregulation of SDF-1alpha and CXCR4 in human saphenous vein smooth muscle cells in vitro, which was dependent on PI3K | pubmed_abstracts |
Perceived depressive symptom severity was not always congruent with PHQ-9 scores at inclusion. Both over- and underestimation by the PHQ-9 of depression severity was perceived. Even though the PHQ-9 is a validated instrument to screen for mild depression in the chronically ill using a cut-off of 6 \[[@CR47], [@CR48]\], our findings could indicate that, in these specific long-term conditions, the discriminative properties of this method were not optimal. A recent study in a population of patients with DM2/CHD, found optimal cut-off scores for minor and major depression to be within a small range of 8 and 10 respectively \[[@CR57]\]. This suggests that the PHQ-9 might not be specific enough to distinguish minor from major depression for scores in this range. A higher cut-off score of 8 might be necessary in order not to over-diagnose mild depression in patients with DM2/CHD, as symptom of the somatic diseases and depression, like fatigue and altered appetite, can overlap. Also, there is an association between depressive symptoms and distress related to long-term conditions \[[@CR58]\], such as diabetes distress \[[@CR59], [@CR60]\]. A complex finding of our study was that even though patients explained they felt mildly to moderately depressed, they independently labelled their mental state differently than 'depression'. It seems likely that patients actually do suffer from depressive symptoms, but prefer using different labels like 'stress' or 'sleeping disorders', as they perceive these as less stigmatizing than 'depression'. However, since the specificity of the PHQ-9 with a cut-off of 6 was found to be only 55% \[[@CR57]\], our findings raise questions over whether it discriminates enough between mild depression and mild forms of other psychological problems, like anxiety, burn-out or sleeping disorders.
In this study, many patients expressed both the heavy burden of sleeping problems and the wish to alleviate it. Problems with sleeping are classic symptoms of depression, but the associations between disturbed sleep and depression \[[@CR61]\] or long-term conditions \[[@CR62]\], like CHD and DM2, have also been well established. While the underlying mechanisms of the relationships between these conditions and their implications for rational therapeutics should be further explored \[[@CR63]\], addressing sleeping problems seems a promising starting point for the delivery of mental health care for most patients with depressive symptoms.

Formoterol, (+/−)N-[2-hydroxy-5-[1-hydroxy-2 [[2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyl]amino]ethyl]phenyl]-formamide, is a highly potent long lasting bronchodilator when inhaled. Formoterol has two chiral centers in the molecule, each of which can exist in two possible configurations. Thus, formoterol has four stereoisomers: (R,R), (S,S), (R,S) and (S,R). The racemic mixture that is commercially available for administration is a dihydrate of the fumarate salt. The order of potency of the isomers is (R,R)>>(R,S)=(S,R)>(S,S), and the (R,R)-isomer is 1000-fold more potent than the (S,S)-isomer. Administration of the pure (R,R)-isomer also offers an improved therapeutic ratio. U.S. Pat. No. 6,268,533 and PCT application WO 00/21487 disclose that the L-(+)-tartrate salt of R,R-formoterol is unexpectedly superior to other salts of R,R-formoterol, being easy to handle, pharmaceutically innocuous and non-hygroscopic. Also, U.S. Pat. No. 6,268,533 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,472,563, which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entireties, disclose that the L-tartrate salt of R,R-formoterol exists in three polymorphic forms, polymorph (A), (B), and (C).
Formoterol drug substances are known to be stable at ambient conditions for up to two years. However, when R,R-formoterol L-tartrate salt is mixed with lactose, degradation is known to occur (Maillards reaction) because of interactions between the amino groups within the R,R-formoterol L-tartrate salt molecule and the lactose moiety.
Dry powder inhalation devices usually need to be packed in a substantially impermeable package to prevent atmospheric moisture ingress. The use of such impermeable packages may cause accumulation of certain trace substances within the sealed local environment to a level sufficient for them to interact with the pharmaceutical composition contained in the dry powder inhalation device. Such interaction, for example, may result in an adduct between the pharmaceutical composition | uspto_backgrounds |
The first product-form solutions were found for equilibrium distributions of Markov chains. Trivially, models composed of two or more independent sub-components exhibit a product-form solution by the definition of independence. Initially the term was used in queueing networks where the sub-components would be individual queues. For example, Jackson's theorem gives the joint equilibrium distribution of an open queueing network as the product of the equilibrium distributions of the individual queues. After numerous extensions, chiefly the BCMP network it was thought local balance was a requirement for a product-form solution.
Gelenbe's G-network model was the first to show that this is not the case. Motivated by the need to model biological neurons which have a point-process like spiking behaviour, he introduced the precursor of G-Networks, calling it the random neural network. By introducing "negative customers" which can destroy or eliminate other customers, he generalised the family of product form networks. Then this was further extended in several steps, first by Gelenbe's "triggers" which are customers which have the power of moving other customers from some queue to another. Another new form of customer that also led to product form was Gelenbe's "batch removal". This was further extended by Erol Gelenbe and Jean-Michel Fourneau with customer types called "resets" which can model the repair of failures: when a queue hits the empty state, representing (for instance) a failure, the queue length can jump back or be "reset" to its steady-state distribution by an arriving reset customer, representing a repair. All these previous types of customers in G-Networks can exist in the same network, including with multiple classes, and they all together still result in the product form solution, taking us far beyond the reversible networks that had been considered before.
Product-form solutions are sometimes described as "stations are independent in equilibrium". Product form solutions also exist in networks of bulk queues.
J.M. Harrison and R.J. Williams note that "virtually all of the models that have been successfully analyzed in classical queueing network theory are models having a so-called product-form stationary distribution" More recently, product-form solutions have been published for Markov process algebras (e.g. RCAT in PEPA) and stochastic petri nets. Martin Feinberg's deficiency zero theorem gives a sufficient condition for chemical reaction networks to exhibit a product-form stationary distribution.

To represent numerically the interaction between the laser and the metallic target, we used a 1D Lagrangian hydrodynamic code [@Delpor]. Solving the Helmholtz wave equation permitted us to determine the electromagnetic field through the region illuminated by the laser. The deposited energy is then deduced using the Joule-Lenz law. A precise result for the absorption from an arbitrary medium can be obtained from the direct solution of the equation for the electromagnetic field. Let us consider a planar wave propagating along z axis. We write the following Helmholtz equation for the complex amplitude of the electric field $E_{z}$ with frequency $\omega$ : $$\label{three}
\Delta E_{z}-\nabla\nabla E_{z}+\left(1+i\frac{4\pi}{\omega}\sigma\left(T,\rho\right)\right)\frac{\omega^{2}}{c^{2}}E_{z}=0$$ where $\sigma(T,\rho)$ is the complex conductivity and $c$ is the light speed. The function $\sigma$ is calculated as a function of the density $\rho(z)$ and the temperature $T(z)$. The relative permittivity of the medium is supposed to be equal to the unity in the case of a metal target. These simulations need accurate data such as transport coefficients in solids, liquids, vapors and dense or diluted plasmas, specially refractive indices [@Palik], electric and thermal conductivities [@Ebeling], and mechanical properties such as material strength. The evolution of the irradiated target is governed by the fluid hydrodynamic and heat diffusion equations connected with a multi-phase equation of state (EOS). Thermodynamic functions that realistically describe characteristics of metal properties in various parts of phase diagram are needed. A such set of different metal EOS is generated by means of a numerical tool developped by the authors of the reference [@EOS]. As an illustration of the EOS used, displays isobars in the phase diagram temperature-specific energy of the copper for a wide range of pressure. Such data reveal the dependence on the thermodynamic properties of the melting and vaporisation processes.
The mechanical propagation of shock waves and fracture are also simulated. Elastoplasticity is described by a strain rate independent model (relevant to high strain rate conditions at high pressure, typically beyond ) which accounts for pressure, temperature and strain dependent yield strength and shear modulus [@SCG].

Notes on The Intersection: Tales of the Taj
It took Shah Jahan 17 years to build the iconic Taj Mahal, a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz, who died during childbirth in 1631. A structure known as the testament of true love for centuries has also been the cause of both pride and controversy in equal measure for India. If you walk around it, you will see that its four facades are identical, with vaulted arches and quotes from the Holy Quran inlaid onto the marble.
This is because the Mughals considered symmetry symbolic of balance and harmony in their empire. But, as Dr. Dilip Ahuja proves through his research and tells us in the podcast, it’s not as perfect as it seems. So, was the iconic monument created with a single error on purpose? Or, did the artists and craftsmen make an honest mistake because of a lack of advanced scientific equipment? Did Shah Jahan know? The answers to these questions are hidden in the legends that surround the history of the building – some that tell of Shah Jahan cutting off the hands and gouging out the eyes of artists who built it and others of how he wanted to build a black version of the Taj Mahal for himself.
A total of Rs 32 million (today’s equivalent of Rs 53 billion) was spent on constructing the Taj; it was made with makrana marble from Rajasthan, lapis lazuli from Central Asia and turquoise from Tibet, and it is said that 1,000 elephants were required to transfer these materials all the way from their homes to Agra. But, this luxury also put the Taj at risk once the Mughal Empire collapsed in the 18th century. The Jats (a Hindu community from North India), looted it in 1964 and stripped it of its two silver doors. British colonisers plundered it for the hand-woven carpets and precious gems, but Lord Curzon the viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905, ordered the restoration of the historical site and its gardens. He also gifted the Taj with a grand chandelier, which unfortunately, came crashing down in August 2015 and is currently being restored.
Today, Agra has transformed from being a Mughal Capital to an economically advanced city, the industrialisation and resulting pollution leading to the yellowing of the Taj’s pristine white marble. The monument has since gotten a beauty treatment of sorts – workers applied Fuller’ | pile-cc |

The authority's bill in equity seeks declaratory relief against Perini Corporation (Perini) and also against an insurance company (the insurer, see fn. 1) which had issued to Perini a comprehensive liability insurance policy. The policy named Perini as insured and the authority and the trustee (fn. 1) as additional insureds. A judge of the Superior Court, without making any decision, reserved the case for the determination of this court upon the pleadings and a case stated.
In 1959, the authority (acting under St. 1958, c. 598) made a contract with Perini (drafted by the authority) to construct an additional traffic tunnel (now known as the Lieutenant Callahan Tunnel) under Boston harbor, to modernize the existing Sumner Tunnel, and to combine the two tunnels as a single project. The contract (art. 26) provided that Perini "shall indemnify and save harmless the [a]uthority and ... its officers, ... and employees against all suits, claims or liability of every name and nature, for or on account of any injuries to persons or damage to property arising out of or in consequence of the acts of ... [Perini] in the performance of the work covered by the contract and/or [sic] failure to comply with ... [its] terms... whether by himself or his employees or sub-contractors, but only in respect of such injuries or damages sustained ... prior to the completion and acceptance of the work ... [emphasis supplied in the original *450 exhibit]." Certain other relevant contract provisions are summarized in the margin.[2]
The insurer issued the comprehensive liability insurance policy mentioned above. As amended, the relevant coverage (insuring agreement 1, coverage D, property damage liability) read, "To pay on behalf of the [i]nsured all sums which the [i]nsured shall become legally obligated to pay as damages for: (a) [p]hysical injury to or destruction of tangible property, or (b) [l]oss of use of such tangible property, provided the physical injury thereto was caused by accident."[3] The policy also required the insurer to "defend any suit ... against the insured alleging such ... injury or destruction and seeking damages which are payable under ... this policy | freelaw |

I'd be interested in reading about any potential research in this area, it's
quite a fascinating unsolved problem. Like Bitcoin's solution to the P2P
untrusted consensus problem (Two Generals Problem), I would think that the
solution to ensuring individuality (see the Sybil attack [2]) lies in some
approach that isn't 100% failsafe but probabistically ensures the desired
result is highly likely (see 51% attack).
I think a web of trust [3] is something that could work. Given a system of
nodes with public keys (the most common form of identification in P2P), a
possible approach to estimate the 'individuality' of some identity/key would
be to measure its degree of relationships with other nodes who vouch for its
authenticity, weighted according to the 'individuality' of the other nodes
(something that could be solved with an iterative approach, as in
PageRank/EigenTrust). The idea being that while a malicious node might vouch
for many of its identities, it doesn't have any link to any other node and
thus would be weighted lower.
Turns out this exact approach had been developed in 2011 [5] (just found out

It has been generally assumed that secretin is a physiological stimulant for pancreatic water and bicarbonate secretion. There is, however, no proof for this assumption. In fact, there is some recent evidence that it may be invalid. In order to qualify as physiologic stimulant, secretin has to be released after intake of a meal.

Skipping of Duplicated Dystrophin Exons: In Vitro Induction and Assessment.
Duplications of one or more dystrophin exons that disrupt the reading frame account for about 15% of all Duchenne cases, and like the more common genomic deletions, most pathogenic duplications of single or multiple dystrophin exons are also amenable to targeted exon skipping.

4.3. Clinical data and motion artefacts {#sec0034}
---------------------------------------
We found that all three groups (PTSD, PTSD+DS and controls) differed significantly in terms of CAPS-IV, CTQ, BDI, MDI-total, and MDI depersonalization/derealization average scores. The PTSD+DS group exhibited the highest scores among these clinical variables as compared to the PTSD and control groups (see Supplemental Material Table s1 and [Table 1](#tbl0001){ref-type="table"}), where the PTSD group had higher scores on these clinical variables as compared to the control group only.
With regard to state-based clinical measures assessed at the time of the fMRI scan, the PTSD+DS group scored significantly higher on state dissociation scores as measured by the RSDI-dissociation subscale as compared to the PTSD group (see Supplemental Material Table s1 and [Table 1](#tbl0001){ref-type="table"}). By contrast, scores for state anxiety (STAI) and reliving symptoms (RSDI scale) did not differ significantly between the PTSD and PTSD+DS groups. However, all state-based clinical measures were significantly higher in the PTSD and PTSD+DS groups as compared to the healthy control group, which is a common finding in the PTSD literature and suggests active psychopathology even at rest among PTSD patients (also see [@bib0054]; [@bib0091]; [@bib0076]). Dissociative symptoms collected prior to the scan (MDI depersonalization/derealization averages) and during the scan (RSDI depersonalization/derealization averages) were highly correlated (*r* = 0.70, *p* \<0.001).
The relation between medication use frequency and group was non-significant. MDD diagnosis was significantly more frequent in the PTSD+DS group as compared to the PTSD group (*p* \< .001), where it has been suggested that higher scores of depression and PTSD symptom severity are associated with the dissociative subtype of PTSD ([@bib0128]; [@bib0050]). Finally, when MDD diagnosis was used as a covariate in Part A, regional clusters did not change, albeit the magnitude of statistical significance decreased marginally. Similarly, medication use was not found to significantly affect results when used as a covariate.

A notable difference between expanders used in automotive and industrial applications is the ratio of barium sulfate to carbon. For example, in automotive batteries, a high fraction of lignosulfonate (25-40%) may be used, whereas in industrial batteries a smaller percentage of lignosulfonate may be used (0-10%). The higher percentage of lignosulfonate in automotive plates may be useful in producing high cold-cranking amperes, whereas a larger amount of barium sulfate in industrial plates may help prevent passivation during deep cycling and provide greater durability.
Conductive additives in positive plates, such as BaPbO3 (Barium metaplumbate); Pb3O4 (Red lead), Titanium based compounds (e.g., Ti4O7, TiSi2, TiO2), and graphite have been used to improve the power density and corrosion resistance in lead-acid batteries. Similarly, higher surface area additives (e.g., glass microspheres, particulate silica, zeolite, and porous carbons) have also been added to negative paste to improve electrolyte access and enhance cycle life.
For several decades, carbon has been a popular additive to the NAM in lead-acid batteries. Although the role of carbon in NAM may be generally unclear, several beneficial effects have been identified. For example, carbon nucleates the PbSO4 crystals, resulting in smaller crystals that may be more easily dissolved into the electrolyte during charging processes. This restricts the progress of plate sulfation (e.g., formation of a PbSO4 layer) and increases the useful life of the battery in high-rate, partial state-of-charge (HRPSoC) duty. High surface-area carbons can act as a reservoir for electrolyte within NAM, thus reducing the possibility of plate dry-out.
A combination of highly conductive graphite, high surface area carbon black and/or activated carbon is often used in NAM. In graphite, the atoms are typically arranged in planar hexagonal networks (e.g., graphene layers) held together by strong sp2 bonds resulting in high in-planar electronic conductivity. A disordered carbon typically arises when a fraction of carbon atoms is sp3 hybridized rather than sp2. The electronic conductivity of mixed carbon depends on the distribution of sp3 carbon in sp2 domains. Although graphite additives in active material decrease the resistivity of the paste by forming a conductive path around the PbSO4 crystals, they are reported to have lower surface areas (typically in the order | uspto_backgrounds |
Wau Holland
Herwart Holland-Moritz, known as Wau Holland, (20 December 1951 – 29 July 2001) was a German computer security activist and journalist who in 1981 cofounded the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), one of the world's oldest hacking clubs.
Career
In 1981, Holland cofounded the Chaos Computer Club. The CCC became world-famous when its members exposed security flaws in Germany's "Bildschirmtext" (Btx) online television service by getting a bank to send them DM 134,000 for accessing its Btx page many times. They returned the money the following day.
From 1983 he was a columnist for the Berlin-based Die Tageszeitung, often reporting on the BBS scene and the computer underground.
Holland also co-founded the CCC's hacker magazine Datenschleuder in 1984, which praised the possibilities of global information networks and powerful computers, and included detailed wiring diagrams for building modems cheaply. The then-monopolist telephone company of Germany's Deutsche Bundespost had to approve modems and sold expensive, slow modems of their own. The telecommunications branch of Deutsche Bundespost was privatized and is now Deutsche Telekom.
Because of Holland's continuing participation in the club, the CCC gained popularity and credibility. He gave speeches on information control for the government and the private sector. Holland fought against copy protection and all forms of censorship and for an open information infrastructure. He compared the censorship demands by some governments to those of the Christian church in the Middle Ages and regarded copy protection as a product defect. In his last years, he spent a lot of his time at a youth centre teaching children both the ethics and the technology of hacking.
Personal life
Holland was born in Kassel, and grew up in Marburg, Hesse. He graduated from the Gymnasium Philippinum secondary school and attended the University of Marburg, though he did not graduate.
Holland was an amateur radio operator and held the call sign DB4FA.
Holland died in Bielefeld on 29 July 2001 of complications caused by a brain stem stroke from which he suffered in May.

Along with the optical extinction in their directions, the detection of extended emission from the PWNe is complicated by the high level of background in nIR observations as well as the generally high density of field sources in the Galactic plane which contaminate the background. Deep nIR images from larger telescopes better able to resolve field sources, may be able to detect PWN emission, as well as increasing the probability of detecting the compact sources, but in these directions source confusion will always be a major impediment to detection of point or extended sources.
Conclusions {#section:conclusions}
===========
We find no evidence of any extended nIR emission associated with the PWNe in any of the fields or any new counterparts to the X-ray point sources, but we do confirm the magnitude of the previously suggested counterpart of [IGRJ18490$-$0000]{}. While there is a low probability of chance coincidence of the X-ray position with a nIR object in this field, the candidate source is significantly brighter than most other isolated pulsars and brighter than a simple extrapolation of the X-ray spectra to the nIR, making its association with the X-ray source less certain. If future observations can confirm the association it seems that an additional emission component will be necessary to explain the excess nIR flux. The non-detection of the other two sources, [IGRJ14003$-$6326]{} and [HESSJ1632$-$478]{}, may be understood by the high level of Galactic extinction in their direction and by the intrinsically faint nature of isolated neutron stars, which the compact objects are assumed to be; it may be reasonable to expect the counterparts of these sources to be at magnitudes $K_s \gtrsim 18.6$.

LOVELAND, Colo. - A crew of 33 people and eight dogs searched a 21-mile area along Big Thompson River in Loveland on Wednesday.
In addition to the searchers from the Poudre and Loveland Fire Authorities, the team includes people and dogs from federal search teams based in Boone County, Missouri and Clark County, Nevada. They're looking for people who could be trapped or killed in the massive debris flow.
"We're doing good, the crews are holding their own. They're working longs hours," said Jason Starck, a battalion chief with the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority. "They're spirits are up and we're just trying to get one task off the list at a time."
"The dogs are trained to alert for live human scent," said Dr. Erin Venable, a K-9 handler with the team from Boone County, Missouri. "What we're doing basically is clearing any spot where a human could possibly be and we’re also making sure we haven’t missed someone who might have been stuck in the debris field."
The dogs are Labrador retrievers and German Shepherd breeds who were trained and certified in a process that takes up to two years. The training includes behavior, agility and search practice.
"By the time these dogs make it to this level, they are literally the best of the best," Venable said.
The large scale of the search provides unique challenges for the dogs, she explained.
"We need to keep dogs happy, need to keep dogs motivated," she said, "So we’ll stop every now and then and just offer dogs motivation."

This case is controlled by Stone v. Powell, 428 U.S. 465, 96 S.Ct. 3037, 49 L.Ed.2d 1067 (1976), and its progeny. In Stone v. Powell, the Supreme Court held that
5
where the State has provided an opportunity for full and fair litigation of a Fourth Amendment claim, a state prisoner may not be granted federal habeas corpus relief on the ground that evidence obtained in an unconstitutional search or seizure was introduced at trial.
6
Id. at 494, 96 S.Ct. at 3052. Petitioner contends the knife should have been excluded as the fruit of an unconstitutional search and seizure. Relying on Stone v. Powell, the federal district court held petitioner was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing and denied his petition for writ of habeas corpus.
7
The record does not show that petitioner moved to suppress the pocket knife prior to trial in the state courts. From the record it is apparent, however, that he objected to the introduction of this evidence at trial and that the court admitted the evidence over his objection. Petitioner subsequently presented this issue on direct appeal. McDaniel v. State, 509 P.2d at 681. Furthermore, the legality of the search and seizure producing the pocket knife was considered in a full evidentiary hearing conducted on his application for post-conviction relief pursuant to Okla. Stat. tit. XXII, §§ 1080 Et seq. (1971). The denial of post-conviction relief was affirmed on appeal to the Oklahoma Criminal Court of Appeals.
8
We are convinced by our careful examination of the record that the state provided and petitioner received an opportunity to fully and fairly litigate his Fourth Amendment claims. Petitioner's primary complaint on this appeal is that the Oklahoma Criminal Court of Appeals skirted the illegal search and seizure issue when it refused to rule directly on the admissibility of the pocket knife, and entered a harmless error ruling as follows:
9
Defendant lastly contends that the trial court erred in allowing the introduction of the pocket knife found on the front seat of defendant's car after defendant had been arrested and taken into custody. . . . A reasonable view of the record indicates other substantial evidence from which the jury could find the defendant guilty. It is thus apparent that the jury could not have been prejudiced by the admittance of the pocket knife.

Examining Binary File for Information using Bit Masks
I have been given the following programming task (edited to obscure mission-specifics):
The raw (binary) file (needed for Phase II implementation) can be interrogated to detect if pods are present. Format is dependent on the source of the file – FormatX vs. FormatY. Using a wordsize of 16 bits, the following bit masks can be used to determine presence of pods from the file:
Word # Mask Value Indicates
1 0xFF00 0x8700 Little Endian (Format X)
1 0x00FF 0x0087 Big Endian (Format Y)
13 0x0200 0x0200 right pod installed (Format X)
13 0x0002 0x0002 right pod installed (Format Y)
13 0x0100 0x0100 left pod installed (Format X)
13 0x0001 0x0001 left pod installed (Format Y)
How I have approached this problem so far: I have the file on my local file system, so I use System.IO.File.OpenRead to get it into a Stream object. I want to read through the stream 16 bits/2 bytes at a time. For the first "word" of this size, I try applying bitmasks to detect what format I am dealing with. Then I skip forward to the 13th "word" and based on that format, detect right/left pods.
Here's some preliminary code I have written that is not working. I know the file I am reading should be Format Y but my check is not working.
int chunksRead = 0;
int readByte;
while ((readByte = stream.ReadByte()) >= 0)
{
chunksRead++;
if (chunksRead == 1)
{
// Get format
bool isFormatY = (readByte & 0x00FF) == 0x0087;
}
else if (chunksRead == 13)
{
// Check pods
}
else if (chunksRead > 13)
{
break;
}
}
Can anyone see what's wrong with my implementation? How should I account for the 2 byte wordsize?

Bath towels, beach towels, washcloths or the like are typically produced from fabric that is stored in roll form on a spool. The fabric is unrolled from the spool in a machine direction, cut into sections, and bonded in the machine direction and a cross direction to form at least partially finished products.
The web is sometimes formed using fabric from multiple spools, such that the web is made up of multiple layers of material that must be bonded together. As used herein, the term “layer” when used in a singular form may refer to a single layer element or multiple layer elements.
In some processes, the web is bonded in the machine direction (often manually) and then cut into sections, so that the cut edges of the sections can be manually bonded in the cross direction. In other processes, the web is cut into sections without any type of bonding, such that each section must be manually bonded in both the machine and cross directions.
As used herein, the term “machine direction” refers to along the length of a material, fabric, or web, in the direction in which it moves as it is produced. The terms “cross-machine direction” or “cross direction” refer to along the width of a material, fabric, or web (i.e., a direction generally perpendicular to the machine direction).
The labor associated with manually bonding the web or web sections adds unwanted production costs, especially bonding in the cross direction. Bonding in the cross direction is cumbersome, because the web must be cut into sections, and then each of the sections maneuvered to permit access to the cut edges for manual bonding in the cross direction.
The web and/or cut out web sections are typically bonded near the perimeter. In some processes, interior areas of the web or web sections are manually bonded for stability and/or decorative effect. The edges of the web are also often folded over and manually bonded to form hems along the web edges. Forming hems along the cut edges of web sections is even more problematic because of the work required to manipulate the cut web sections for folding and then bonding.
There is a need for an apparatus, seaming assembly and method that effectively places seams in a continuously moving web of fabric in a cross direction, or in both machine and cross directions.

Greenhouse was a bar/restaurant at 100 St Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia. Designed by Dutch-born florist, artist, builder and environmentalist Joost Bakker, and opened in 2009, it is a "quirky, eco-friendly restaurant" concept, which has been described as "... a breath of fresh air and a brilliant example of innovation in the restaurant sector." The head chef at Greenhouse was Matt Stone.
As a concept, Greenhouse had a mission to improve vastly on the ways restaurants are created, to have better design, better operation, and to be "completely waste free from the ground up". Amongst other things, Greenhouse "... has its vegetable garden on the roof, grinds its own organic flour, has walls made of hay bales and boasts a zero-carbon footprint."
Both Stone and the restaurant have won a number of awards. In 2010, Stone was named Best New Talent at the national Gourmet Traveller Awards; then was awarded Young Chef of the Year by The West Australian Good Food Guide in 2011 and 2012. The restaurant was given a one star rating, and the award for Best New Restaurant of the Year, by The West Australian Good Food Guide 2011, and retained its one star rating for 2012 and 2013, but lost that rating for 2014.
The Greenhouse concept has also appeared, in temporary, "pop-up" restaurant form, at Federation Square in Melbourne in 2008–09, at Sydney Harbour in 2011, and at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in 2012. Greenhouse also featured in an episode of MasterChef Australia series 5 in 2013.
The restaurant was sold to Red Rock Leisure in partnership with chef Chris Taylor around 2012.
The restaurant closed in May 2017. Managing partners of the venue claimed decreased revenue and high operation costs as contributing factors.

We prove now that the sequence $\{\iota_n, \iota_n\vee\iota_{n-1},\ldots,
\iota_n\vee\cdots\vee\iota_2,\top\}$ is a maximal chain, denoted $C_\pi$. It suffices to prove that $\iota_n\vee\iota_{n-1}\vee\cdots\vee\iota_k\succ
\iota_n\vee\iota_{n-1}\vee\cdots\vee\iota_{k+1}$, $k=1,\ldots,n-1$. The fact that the former is greater or equal to the latter is obvious, hence $C_\pi$ is a chain. To prove that it is maximal, we have to show that equality cannot occur among any two subsequent elements. To see this, observe that at each step $k$: $$\label{eq:proof}
\iota_k\not\leq m_k,\quad \iota_k\leq m_{k-1},\iota_k\leq
m_{k-2},\ldots,\iota_k\leq m_1.$$ Hence $\iota_{k-1}\not\leq \iota_k$, otherwise $\iota_{k-1}\leq m_{k-1}$ would hold, a contradiction. Hence, the sequence $\iota_n,\iota_{n-1},\ldots,\iota_1$ is non decreasing, and equality cannot occur.
Let us prove that it suffices to choose $\iota_k$ as the smallest in $\eta(n(j_{k-1})\setminus \eta(n(j_k))$. If at step $k$, a smallest $\iota_k$ is not chosen in $\eta(n(j_{k-1})\setminus \eta(n(j_k))$, it will be taken after, and the sequence $\iota_n,\iota_{n-1},\ldots,\iota_1$ will be no more non decreasing, a contradiction.
It remains to prove that $\pi$ is strictly increasing and to verify the expression of $m$. Let us prove by induction that $$\label{eq:pi1}
\pi(j_k)=1-m(\iota_n)-m(\iota_n\vee\iota_{n-1}) - \cdots-
m(\iota_n\vee\cdots\vee \iota_{k+1}),\quad k=n,\ldots, | arxiv |

By morning…we were in Zarrah's vet. I asked him, "what should I do?" He said, "My job is to be the voice of your dog". After listening to her full story….he said, "Please, give her peace". It would be irresponsible to give her to a shelter after knowing her traumatic situations and reoccurring disposition. If you should keep her, I can tell you how difficult it is because I too, have had two dog attacks with our own pets. They didn't have trauma, it is usually because of two things. Toy or Food.
Advice from our vet: If you have a dog(s). CRATE or USE SEPERATE ROOMS if they're eating or chewing on bones. If they have done it a millions times before…consider yourselves LUCKY. It only takes a heavy scent or behavioral issue to make any "normal situation into an isolated, harmful event". His dogs are crated when no one is home and always during the feeding/bone times. He even said, "knowing what he knows about his situation, he would have euthanized his dog too". It is too difficult to live in fear of safety for you and your animals.
Safety is our gateway to the choice we made. Although it was the most difficult choice ever, it was the right one. Please let Zarrah's story resinate with yours and make you think differently when it comes to toy vs. food.
Our hearts will take a great amount of time to heal. Zarrah passed away in my arms, her head started to raise when she was heading to heaven. I was singing Silent Night to her and told her to go chase all the angels and rabbits. Her heart stopped and it felt like mine did too. The moment I got into the car, her scent was so strong. She jumped right into the car and came home. Her presence is ever present. Daisy let's us know she is here.
Zarrah entered the kingdom. I shall never fear when I get there because I know she will be the first that I see, waiting for us.
May 1st, 2015. She shared the date of a famous singer that passed away the same day "Stand by Me". It also was the day that Justice system played it's first hand to getting justice for Freddie Gray. State of Maryland vs. MD Police Department. Both of these two events are a beautiful beginning and ending.

Hatten, 71 S.W.3d at 333. To be constitutionally effective, such a decision must be made
competently, voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently. Godinez v. Moran, 509 U.S. 389, 400,
113 S.Ct. 2680, 2687, 125 L.Ed.2d 321 (1993); Faretta, 422 U.S. at 835-36, 95 S.Ct. at 2541.
The decision is made knowingly and intelligently if made with a full understanding of the right
to counsel, which is being abandoned, as well as the dangers and disadvantages of self-
representation. Faretta, 422 U.S. at 835-36, 95 S.Ct. at 2541; Williams v. State, 252 S.W.3d 353,

The Court of Criminal Appeals has held on several occasions that there is no
constitutional right to hybrid representation. See e.g., Dunn v. State, 819 S.W.2d 510, 525-26
(Tex.Crim.App. 1991); Scarbrough v. State, 777 S.W.2d 83, 92 (Tex.Crim.App. 1989); Landers
v. State, 550 S.W.2d 272, 280 (Tex.Crim.App. 1977). In Scarbrough, the Court of Criminal
Appeals held that the admonishments regarding the dangers and disadvantages of self-
representation should include making the accused aware that there is no right to standby counsel.
Scarbrough, 777 S.W.2d at 93. If the defendant asserts a desire for self-representation, but also
indicates he would prefer what actually amounts to hybrid representation, the trial court should
decide at the earliest practicable moment whether to allow it, and if not, should inform the
defendant he must choose instead between two mutually exclusive rights--the right to self-
representation | freelaw |
Happily, look what happened in the intervening decades: mass connectivity and
big data, plus the normalization of data mining over petabytes of raw
information.
I think, in other words, that we have reached the point where we can batter
down the economic calculation problem with brute force.
~~~
gaius
Even if you are correct, all that computation still needs to be done in some
sort of unit. Money is good because it is abstracted from actual stuff. Joules
are actually a bad unit, because how do you value an information product in
terms of the energy of the computation it does? Hmm.
~~~
JulianMorrison
You use the natural units of the activity. Tonnes of ore or raw material.
Hours of factory time. Joules of energy consumption. Production line machinery
MTBF. So on and so forth. It's a lot of data, but nowadays we have tools to
work with a lot of data.
~~~
gaius
No, that won't work. You can say, right now, and people do, "If we spend X
building this thing, we estimate Y boost to the economy". You can't say "if we
use X tonnes of concrete, we expect Y tonnes of Z to be produced" without the
X/Y ratio _being money_. All money is is a way to abstract the worth of
something from what it actually is.
Oh, and you can't pay your workers in concrete either. Or do you propose not
paying them at all and just giving out rations to people living in
barracks...?
~~~
JulianMorrison
Money abstracts demand-pull from production and supply. But abstraction is a
complexity management tool you don't need if you can crunch the raw
complexity.
What I'm proposing is a "you want it, you got it" economy, basically, that
starts from a premise of equal allocation of resource control (not resource
use) and allows unused allocations to be reflowed to the use of those with
more ambitious projects, with direct-democratic oversight.
For example, if a hypothetical Elon Musk wants to build rockets (a resource
hog activity) then he'd probably end up having to make a public case he was
capable of it to avoid being vetoed, but case made, | hackernews |

For violations of sphericity, a Huynh-Feldt correction procedure was applied. Least significant difference (LSD) test was performed for all multiple comparisons. For the sake of brevity, uncorrected degrees of freedom were reported. All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS package.
Result and Discussion
---------------------
For the subjective pleasantness ratings, a one-way ANOVA showed a significant effect of odor, *F*(2,46) = 72.22, *p* \< 0.001, $\eta_{p}^{2}$ = 0.758. Pairwise comparisons revealed that the smell of lemon (*M* = 7.08, *SE* = 0.27) was rated as significantly more pleasant than water (*M* = 4.75, *SE* = 0.16, *p* \< 0.001) and water, in turn, was rated more pleasant than pyridine (*M* = 2.92, *SE* = 0.26, *p* \< 0.001).
The ANOVA on gaze cone width showed that the main effect of odor condition was not significant, *F*(2,36) = 0.76, *p* = 0.473, $\eta_{p}^{2}$ = 0.041, and there was no main effect of gaze direction (*p* = 0.339) or interaction between odor condition and gaze direction (*p* = 0.281) either (see **Figure [2A](#F2){ref-type="fig"}**). The proportions of looking-at-me responses for the nine gaze angles as a function of odor condition are presented in the Supplementary Table [S1](#SM1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}. For the eye contact strength rating data (**Figure [2B](#F2){ref-type="fig"}**), the analysis expectedly showed a main effect of gaze angle, *F*(4,72) = 188.50, *p* \< 0.001, $\eta_{p}^{2}$ = 0.913. The strength of the eye contact feeling decreased with larger deviations of gaze angle from the direct gaze. Again, there was no main effect of odor condition or gaze direction (*p* = 0.754 and *p* = 0.284, respectively) or interactions involving odor condition, gaze angle, and gaze direction (*p* = 0.551, *p* = 0.640, *p* = 0.689, | pubmed_central |
My question:
I am new to Neo4j and trying to create a query listing nodes and relationships into a graph with keyword as "id=0001" as below:
(a) - [id:'0001', ref_id:null] -> (b) - [id:'0002', ref_id:'0001'] -> (c) - [id:'0003', ref_id:'0002'] -> (d)
Start Node will be (a) since it has relationship with id=0001
But the database also exists relationships which I don't want:
(a) - [id:'2001', ref_id:null] -> (b) - [id:'2002', ref_id:'2001'] -> (c)
(a) - [id:'3001', ref_id:null] -> (b) - [id:'3002', ref_id:'3001'] -> (c)
The result should only includes:
(a)-[0001]-(b)-[0002, 0001]-(c)-[0003,0002]-(d)
Below are what I was thinking before write question:
I know how to create this query in SQL database like Oracle and MySQL, I can use query with "where" condition. For example:
Select *
from table_a parent, (select * from table_a) child
where child.ref_id = parent.id
Then I can loop the result set in Java to find all relationships. But this is stupid.
I think the query should looks like:
Match (n)-[r:RELTYPE]->(m) WHERE {some conditions at here} RETURN n,r,m
Please help me, thank you!
Yufan
A:
You could either use named relationships and filter in WHERE clause:
match p = (a)-[r1:TYPE]->(b)-[r2:TYPE2]->(c)
where r1.id='0001' and r2.id='0002' and r2.ref_id='0001'
return p
Please note that properties having null value are not allowed in Neo4j. So the first relationship won't have a ref_id.
For the above notation is a shortcut by putting the conditions into the match:
match p = (a)-[r1:TYPE {id:'0001'}]->(b)-[r2 | stackexchange |
The present invention relates to an electrochemical device for measuring the concentration of oxygen in a liquid alkali metal and, more particularly, to such a device which has a longer life and is more reliable and accurate than prior devices of this nature especially designed to measure the concentration of oxygen in molten sodium.
It is desirable for various purposes to be able to measure the oxygen content of molten alkali metals used in industrial processes and commercial equipment. For example, it is quite important to be able to detect the presence of oxygen in the liquid sodium heat transfer loops of liquid metal fast breeder reactors. The presence of oxygen in the liquid sodium coolant of the primary coolant loop in such a reactor, i.e., the loop which passes through the reactor core, has to be minimized to prevent corrosion and consequent mass transport from the reactor core of radioactive corrosion products. A reliable oxygen monitoring device is also needed for the secondary loop of such a reactor liquid sodium coolant system in order to provide prompt and quantitative detection of steam or water leaks into the sodium.
Oxygen monitoring devices which rely on galvanic principles and ionic conduction have been designed to measure oxygen concentrations in molten metals. Basically, such devices provide an indication of the oxygen content by measuring the electromotive force generated between a reference electrode and a molten metal by the conduction of oxygen ions therebetween through a solid electrolyte. The devices described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,776,831; 3,864,231; and 3,864,232 are representative of such devices. Presently available electrochemical oxygen monitoring devices, however, suffer from several deficiencies which make them less than optimum for use in measuring the oxygen content in liquid alkali metals, especially if the alkali metal is, for example, liquid sodium being used as a fission reactor coolant.
One of the primary problems with most presently available devices is that they are not as accurate as desired. That is, most of such devices use air or some other gas as a reference electrode, and in order to provide a sufficiently fast response time the device must be operated at a relatively high temperature, e.g., 800.degree. C. The difficulty with operation of such a device with a gas reference electrode at such a high temperature is that electronic conduction through the electrolyte becomes sufficiently high to interfere with the accurate measurement of ionic conduction through the solid electrolyte. Moreover, high temperature operation substantially increases corrosive action of the alkali metal on the solid electrolyte, thereby reducing the effective life of the device. While it may appear that such problems could be | uspto_backgrounds |
Professional career
New England Patriots
After going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft, Finch was signed to a three-year contract by the Patriots. He was, however, released by the Patriots prior to the start of the 2014 season.
Ottawa Redblacks
Following his release from the Patriots, Finch signed with the CFL's Ottawa Redblacks. During five games with the Redblacks, he carried the ball 24 times for 95 yards and had a 21.6-yard average on kick returns.
He was released by the Redblacks prior to the 2015 season.
Calgary Stampeders
After Finch sat out the 2015 season, during which he finished his degree at Oklahoma, he received a tryout with and was signed by the Stampeders for the 2016 season.
In his first season with Calgary, Finch excelled as a kick returner, recording 71 punt returns for 993 yards and a touchdown and returning 43 kickoffs for 1,060 yards. In June 2017, Finch was suspended two games for violating the CFL's drug policy. During the 2017 season, Finch returned three kicks for touchdowns, tying a Calgary franchise record held by Derrick Crawford. He was named the CFL's top special teams player for the season. In light of his arrest in Edmond, Oklahoma, Finch announced in early May 2018, that he was putting his football career on hold indefinitely and he would not be reporting to the Stampeders 2018 training camp.
Personal
Finch grew up in Clinton, Maryland. He graduated from Niceville (FL) High School, though he attended Edmond North High School in Oklahoma for his sophomore year. He grew up a fan of the New England Patriots.
On April 16, 2018 it was announced that Finch had been arrested by police officers in Edmond, Oklahoma for allegedly assaulting a police officer the previous weekend. In late June 2019 criminal charges against Finch related to kidnapping and domestic abuse were dropped after a key witness failed to appear for a preliminary hearing.

We consider ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with the usual inner product $\left\langle \cdot, \cdot \right\rangle$ and 2-norm $\| \cdot \|$. We use ${\mathbb{R}}^n_{\geq 0}$ for the non-negative orthant. The closed (open) unit ball of appropriate dimension is denoted by ${\mathbb{B}}$ ($\operatorname{int}{\mathbb{B}}$). For a sequence $\{K_n \}$, $K_n \rightarrow 0^+$ implies that that $K_n > 0$ for all $n$ and ${\lim}_{n \rightarrow \infty} K_n = 0$. For a map $F: {\mathbb{R}}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^m$, differentiable at $x \in {\mathbb{R}}^n$, $\nabla F(x) \in {\mathbb{R}}^{m \times n}$ denotes the *Jacobian of $F$ at $x$*. Given a set ${\mathcal{C}}\subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$, its *closure*, *boundary*, and *(closed) convex hull* are denoted by $\operatorname{cl}{{\mathcal{C}}}$, $\partial {\mathcal{C}}$, and $\operatorname{co}{{\mathcal{C}}}$ ($\operatorname{\overline{co}}{\mathcal{C}}$), respectively. If ${\mathcal{C}}$ is non-empty, we write $\| {\mathcal{C}}\| := \sup_{v \in {\mathcal{C}}} \| v \|$. The *distance to ${\mathcal{C}}$* is defined as $d_{\mathcal{C}}(x) := \inf_{\tilde{x} \in {\mathcal{C}}} \| x - \tilde{x} \|$, and the *projection* $P_{\mathcal{C}}: {\mathbb{R}}^n \rightrightarrows {\mathcal{C}}$ is given by $P_{\mathcal{C}}(x) := \{ \tilde{x} \in {\mathcal{C}}\, | \, \| x - \tilde{x} \| = d_{{\mathcal{C}}}(x) \}$. The *domain* of a set-valued map $H: {\mathbb{R}}^n \rightrightarrows {\mathbb{R}}^m$ is defined as $\operatorname{dom}H := \{ x \, | \, H(x) \neq \emptyset \}$. We use the | arxiv |

Cindy Mills, who ran a Subway restaurant franchise in Pensacola, Fla., said she started reaching out to Subway executives about Jared Fogle's interest in children after he spoke...

Before JOE SPURLOCK, II, HILL and FARRIS, JJ.
*278 OPINION
HILL, Justice.
Relator, George Joseph Oliver, brings us this application for writ of habeas corpus, complaining that he is being unlawfully confined in the Tarrant County jail pursuant to findings that he was in contempt of court for his failure to make payments of temporary support pursuant to temporary orders and pursuant to his final divorce decree, pending appeal. He contends that the trial court erred in finding him guilty of contempt for failing to make payments on April 25, 1987, a date not specifically alleged in the motion for contempt; that he could not be punished for contempt because thirty days had not elapsed from the date the April 25, 1987 payment was due until the motion for contempt was filed; that he could not be found in violation of temporary orders entered April 24, 1986, because they were superseded by the final decree of December 17, 1986; that temporary orders contained in the final divorce decree are unenforceable because they were not entered in accordance with TEX. FAM.CODE ANN. secs. 3.58(h) and 3.59 (Vernon Supp.1987); and that the presumption of his ability to pay constitutes a violation of his right to due process of law.
We reject the majority of Oliver's contentions and order him remanded to the custody of the Tarrant County Sheriff.
Oliver's first contention is that the trial court erred by finding him guilty of contempt for failing to make payments on April 25, 1987, a date not specifically alleged in the motion for contempt. He does not complain that he did not receive notice of the specifically alleged violation of March 25, 1987.
A motion for contempt is comparable to an indictment or information and complaint charging several different misdemeanors. Ex parte Loreant, 464 S.W.2d 223, 224 (Tex.Civ.App.Houston [1st Dist.] 1971, no writ). Punishment for more than one act of contempt is possible in one proceeding only if the motion for contempt sets out specifically distinct and separate violations of the order. Id.
In the case at bar, the motion for contempt alleges the following:
Respondent has disobeyed the Order and Decree as follows: Respondent failed to pay the required temporary support for March 25, 1987. If Respondent fails to make any other payment for temporary support before the time the Court considers this Motion for Contempt, then the Court should also consider any such | freelaw |
That being said, have you tested the coffee idea out with your existing
customers? More importantly, have you had a chat with your existing customers
to understand what would get them to refer you to their networks?
The way I'd approach it is to talk to your customers and test out your
strategies (i.e. coffee or otherwise).
Happy to discuss further as I've been involved with designing
loyalty/rewards/switching programs.

It is certainly an interesting problem. I don't know that I have the solution.
I agree with everything you said about the problem around finding a good
reward.
However, coffee drinkers can be picky. It would not motivate me, but then
again I am not sure what would other than the benefit of doing my friend and
the customer a favor.

Looks really great. As a developer I would be way more motivated by this than
some free credits for my companies account.
How do you handle fulfillment? Seems like it could be a real time suck if it
is manual? Also do you ship internationally?
~~~
geekjock
Thanks for the feedback! Fulfillment - I plan on just manually ordering coffee
to people once per week. If it gets to be too much work that'd be a great
problem to have :)
I do ship internationally, and if for some reason I can't I would send a gift
card instead.

How about an amazon e-gift card based on your plans they get the referral on.
Maybe a minimum of $20, then $50 and $100.
How about a bonus e-gift card every 12 months their signup is a customer.
So if they refer a signup on your $99 plan they get $100 after it is confirmed
and then every 12 months another $100 e-gift card.
I don't drink coffee btw, but I do have an amazon wish list.

I've decided to switch to amazon gift cards!

PROJECT SUMMARY Diarrheal disease causes close to one million deaths in children under five each year. Although its incidence is much lower in the more affluent nations, diarrhea remains one of the two most common visits to pediatric emergency rooms and is also common among the institutionalized elderly.

Abnormal NHE3 expression and function are associated with diarrheal diseases resulting from acute pathogenic infection and | nih_exporter |
Cerebrovascular diseases are the third leading cause of mortality in the world, following malignant and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, their timely and precise diagnostics is of great importance. The aim of this study was to compare duplex scan Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) with multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) in detection of morphological and functional disorders at extracranial level of carotid arteries. The study included 75 patients with 150 carotid arteries examined in the period from January 2008 to April 2009. The | pubmed_abstracts |

==========
Bilateral PFEDH is uncommon and its supratentorial extension is even rare.\[[@ref1]\] According to the speed of the clinical picture development, PFEDH can be divided into acute (\<24 hours), subacute (2-7 days) or chronic (\>7 days), depending on the onset of symptoms. The acute ones are caused by arterial injuries and chronic or subacute are secondary to venous injuries. However, in the index case there was venous sinus tear seen and the presentation was acute. Occipital bone fractures or diastasis of lambdoid sutures is seen in 40-86%.\[[@ref4]\] Swelling of soft tissue in occipital and retromastoid region is seen in almost all the patients.\[[@ref4]\] Distatic fracture of the lambdoid suture is usually associated with more complicated venous sinus injury making surgery more difficult.\[[@ref5]\]
Patients with occipital trauma should be evaluated immediately using cranial CT scans, and those having mass effect should be immediately treated surgically. PFEDH has a higher mortality than supratentorial localization. However, early diagnosis of PFEDH by urgent CT scan and prompt surgical evacuation provide excellent recovery.\[[@ref2]\] Patients with PFEDH with no mass effect, serial CT scanning is recommended especially in first 24 hours as repeat CT picks up delayed PFEDH even when the initial CT may be negative.\[[@ref1][@ref2][@ref6]\]
Classically, first one burr hole in the occipital region is made, immediately evacuating the hematoma from this burr hole, then performing the craniectomy. Bilateral or unilateral suboccipital craniectomy has been the standard approach.\[[@ref1]\] Strong dural attachment over the midline has been cited as the reason for bilateral PFEDH without continuity between the haematomas.\[[@ref3]\]
It is important to define mortality and morbidity risk factors in patients with PFEDH. In the previous studies, the risk factors were mentioned as pediatric age group, supr | pubmed_central |
I have an issue with a string containing the plus sign (+).
I want to split that string (or if there is some other way to solve my problem)
string ColumnPlusLevel = "+-J10+-J10+-J10+-J10+-J10";
string strpluslevel = "";
strpluslevel = ColumnPlusLevel;
string[] strpluslevel_lines = Regex.Split(strpluslevel, "+");
foreach (string line in strpluslevel_lines)
{
MessageBox.Show(line);
strpluslevel_summa = strpluslevel_summa + line;
}
MessageBox.Show(strpluslevel_summa, "summa sumarum");
The MessageBox is for my testing purpose.
Now... The ColumnPlusLevel string can have very varied entry but it is always a repeated pattern starting with the plus sign.
i.e. "+MJ+MJ+MJ" or "+PPL14.1+PPL14.1+PPL14.1" as examples.
(It comes form Another software and I cant edit the output from that software)
How can I find out what that pattern is that is being repeated?
That in this exampels is the +-J10 or +MJ or +PPL14.1
In my case above I have tested it by using only a MessageBox to show the result but I want the repeated pattering stored in a string later on.
Maybe im doing it wrong by using Split, maybe there is another solution.
Maybe I use Split in the wrong way.
Hope you understand my problem and the result I want.
Thanks for any advice.
/Tomas
A:
How can I find out what that pattern is that is being repeated?
Maybe i didn't understand the requirement fully, but isn't it easy as:
string[] tokens = ColumnPlusLevel.Split(new[]{'+'}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
string first = tokens[0];
bool repeatingPattern = tokens.Skip(1).All(s => s == first);
If repeatingPattern is true you know that the pattern itself is first.
Can you maybe explain how the logic works
The line which contains tokens.Skip(1) is a LINQ query, so you need to add using System.Lin | stackexchange |
Bone grafts are used in spinal fusion, for example, which is a technique used to stabilize the spinal bones, or vertebrae, and a goal is to create a solid bridge of bone between two or more vertebrae. The fusion process includes “arthrodesis”, which can be thought of as the mending or welding together of two bones in a spinal joint space, much like a broken arm or leg healing in a cast. Spinal fusion may be recommended for a variety of conditions that might include, for example, a spondylolisthesis, a degenerative disc disease, a recurrent disc herniation, or perhaps to correct a prior surgery.
Bone graft material is introduced for fusion and a fusion cage can be inserted to help support the disc space during the fusion process. In fact, fusion cages are frequently used in such procedures to support and stabilize the disc space until bone graft unites the bone of the opposing vertebral endplates in the disc space. A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), for example, involves placement of posterior instrumentation (screws and rods) into the spine, and the fusion cage loaded with bone graft can be inserted into the disc space. Bone graft material can be pre-packed in the disc space or packed after the cage is inserted. TLIF can be used to facilitate stability in the front and back parts of the lumbar spine promoting interbody fusion in the anterior portion of the spine. Fusion in this region can be beneficial, because the anterior interbody space includes an increased area for bone to heal, as well as to handle increased forces that are distributed through this area.
Unfortunately, therein lies a problem solved by the teachings provided herein. Currently available systems can be problematic in that the methods of introducing the fusion cage and bone graft material leaves pockets in regions of the intervertebral space that are not filled with bone graft material, regions in which fusion is desired for structural support. These pockets can create a premature failure of the fused intervertebral space due to forces that are distributed through the regions containing the pockets, for example, when the patient stands and walks.
Traditional fusion cages, such as the Medtronic CAPSTONE cage, are designed to be oversized relative to the disc space to distract the disc space as the entire cage is inserted. However, this makes it difficult to insert and position properly. In response to the problem, the art has developed a number of new fusion cages, such as the Globus CALIBER cage which can be | uspto_backgrounds |
Chief justice and governor
Winneke was appointed as Chief Justice of Victoria in 1964. According to Sir John Young, he was "a model of fairness", who delivered judgments which "were models of clarity and learning". He was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria in 1972. In 1974, he retired from office as Chief Justice and became the Governor of Victoria, an office which he occupied with "great distinction" until 1982. He was knighted in 1957, created a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1966, a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1977 and a Companion of the Order of Australia in 1982. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Melbourne in 1978 and Monash University in 1980.
Don Chipp said that Winneke had told him in 1971 that the convicted murderer Leith Ratten was innocent. In 1981, when Ratten had yet to be released, Chipp said Winneke denied the conversation had taken place. Later a member of the Supreme Court at the time of Ratten's trial told Tom Molomby that Winneke had wanted to remove the jury from the trial. Such a move would require a belief that the evidence would not support a guilty verdict.
Personal life
Winneke was married twice, first to Nancy Wilkinson in 1933 by whom he had two sons, John and Michael. Following his first wife's death in 1983, in 1984 he married Ellis Faul, who survived him. His son, John Winneke, was also a judge on the Supreme Court of Victoria, being President of the Court of Appeal from its inception in 1995 until his retirement in 2005. Winneke was a keen golfer and follower of Australian Rules Football, being at one time the number one ticket holder of Hawthorn Football Club.
