Sophomores Corrie Reiley and Clare Kramer have been in the fold all season, and junior Karlie Stafford has developed into the girl who does all the dirty work after winning the fifth starter job at the beginning of the year.
When you include senior standouts Cassie Reiley and Riley Walters and a deep bench featuring the likes of senior Molly Corbin, juniors Brooke Remley and Kaeli Kovarik, and sophomore Cydney Westen, the Prophets have a lot of players with postseason experience.
“Everybody has a valuable part on this team,” Stafford said. “The whole bench has something to bring to the team, and we’ve all played together all year now instead of throwing in some younger girls at the end of the season like last year.
“We all just have to do our parts, communicate on defense and just give it our all. We’ve been looking forward to this game all season, and we don’t want to have any regrets.”
Last year’s 36-24 loss to Aquin has been in the back of the Prophets’ minds ever since last February. Within two points early in the fourth quarter, Prophetstown went cold from the field, and the Bulldogs closed the game with a 10-0 run in arguably their toughest game en route to the state title.
Kramer, who was making just her second varsity start, remembers being as nervous as she’s ever been. This time around, she believes the experience of playing in that atmosphere will be a big help – as will the fan bus Prophetstown will be taking to the game.
“I’m getting really excited for this game, and I think the other girls are, too,” Kramer said. “It was a really good battle last year, and I’m looking forward to playing Sophie again; she’s probably the best player I’ve ever defended, and it’s a challenge to stop her.
“But I think us playing her last year, we’re going to be much better about calming those nerves down. I think we’ll play with a lot more confidence, and it will really be in our favor if we keep the game at our tempo and execute well.”
Whether or not he uses his recent card-playing experience as a pregame pep talk, Robinson knows he won’t have to do a lot of motivating tonight | pile-cc |

Further, even if they had been, threats to make an allegation of a crime do not

Serious injury is defined in Iowa Code section 702.18 as a disabling mental illness;
bodily injury which creates a substantial risk of death, causes serious permanent
10
A.P. has asked this court to interpret section 702.18 and expand the
definition of “threat or menace of serious bodily injury” to include injuries to a
person’s reputation and criminal background and the accompanying
consequences. However, we are bound by the plain meaning of the words and
legislature’s intent. See McGill v. Fish, 790 N.W.2d 113, 118 (Iowa 2010)
(holding “we do not search for legislative intent beyond the express language of a
statute when that language is plain and the meaning is clear”). “[W]ords used in
a statute have their ordinary and commonly understood meaning,” and we are
not at liberty to interpret them otherwise. See id. at 119. Thus, we must decline
A.P.’s request to expand section 702.18.
We do not find the trial court abused its discretion, and we affirm on this
issue.
C. Sufficiency of the Evidence for Third-Degree Sexual Abuse
A.P. avers the facts do not support a finding he committed third-degree
sexual abuse. Under Iowa Code section 709.4(2)(b), for third-degree sexual
abuse the State needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt A.P. performed a sex
act with a person, not his spouse, who was either twelve or thirteen years of age
at the time of the incident. A.P. maintains the State did not produce sufficient
evidence and argues the juvenile court erred when it adjudicated him.
A.P.’s argument rests upon the fact A.P. was either thirteen or fourteen
years old at the time of the incident whereas the complaining witness was twelve.

> an API developer not wanting to write own/reinvent cache layer for their
> REST API
For Laravel projects at least, a package like spatie/laravel-responsecache
makes it super easy to handle caching for GET API routes. I'm sure there are
similar packers for other frameworks often used in API development.
I really like Bloom, I'd just rather handle it at the application layer, where
I can get the finest level of customization (assuming there's a suitable
package to abstract the most tedious work away).
Seems you could keep the associated code to a minimum, and easily
maintainable, by using model events to trigger cache updates.
Personally, I'd rather have a little more code than a new dependency (and the
resources the Bloom takes from each API worker it's installed on). But in
situations where it's non-trivial or inadvisable to do it at the application
layer, it seems Bloom could be quite useful.

The transmission dynamics of leptospirosis are highly complex, and future research should aim to adopt an eco-epidemiological approach to explore the interactions between humans, animals, and the environment in determining overall infection risk and serovar emergence. Zoonotic diseases are responsible for the majority of emerging infectious diseases \[[@CR29]\], and improved understanding of disease ecology would provide an evidence base to guide the development of tools to help predict the timing and triggers for outbreaks, determine hotspots based on environmental factors, identify subpopulations who are at greatest risk. Such tools will in turn help inform mitigation strategies, early warning systems, and public health interventions to reduce leptospirosis disease burden.
Conclusions {#Sec13}
===========
*Leptospira borgpetersenii* serovar Arborea has been emerging in Queensland since 2001, with increase in case numbers, the proportion of leptospirosis infections attributed to the serovar, as well as expansion of its geographic distribution. Reasons for this emergence are currently unknown, but climatic factors (especially flooding) and environmental change are likely to have played important roles.
Availability of supporting data {#Sec14}
===============================
We are unable to make the raw data freely available because some Queensland postcode areas are very sparsely populated, and cases could potentially be personally identified by age, sex, occupation, and date of diagnosis of leptospirosis. Requests for raw data should be made to the Research and Human Ethics Coordinator (+61 7 3000 9363), Forensic and Scientific Services, Health Support Queensland, Department of Health, Queensland Government.

Q:
Prove that $\int\int_Df(x,y)dA \leq \int\int_D g(x,y)dA$ if $f(x,y) \leq g(x,y)$ for all $(x,y) \in D$
Suppose that $f,g$ are integrable function on a Jordan set $D$ such that $f(x,y) \leq g(x,y)$ for all $(x,y) \in D$. Prove that $\int\int_Df(x,y)dA \leq \int\int_D g(x,y)dA$
Here is what I got:
Assume that $f,g$ are integrable function on a Jordan set $D$ such that $f(x,y) \leq g(x,y)$ for all $(x,y) \in D$.
Since $f(x,y) \leq g(x,y)$ for all $(x,y) \in D$, $g(x,y)-f(x,y) \geq 0$ for all $(x,y) \in D$
Since $f,g$ are integrable function on a Jordan set $D$ , they are bounded and
$$\int\int_D [g(x,y)-f(x,y)] \geq 0$$
$$\int\int_D [g(x,y)-f(x,y)]=\int\int_D [g(x,y)]- \int\int_D[f(x,y)] \geq 0$$
$$\int\int_D [g(x,y)] \geq \int\int_D[f(x,y)]$$
Please feel free to fix if I'm wrong
A:
Two problems pop out right away: first, the integral of a function $f$ is not given by the formula $$\int\int_Df(x,y)dA = \sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^m(M_{f_i}-m_{f_i})(\Delta x_i \Delta y_j). $$ Second $f(x,y) \le g(x,y)$ does not imply $M_{f_i}-m_{f_i} \le | stackexchange |
Once the sixteen pound design is finalized as a result of such development and testing, lighter weight balls are produced by removing weight from the core of the sixteen pound design. Some manufacturers even change the core shape that was developed for the sixteen pound ball when making lighter weight balls in favor of any convenient shape with no regard for rotational dynamics. Weight is removed from the core as opposed to the cover stock because the resin and filler systems customarily employed to make cores can produce a much wider range of densities than the resin systems used to produce cover stock. However, removing weight from a core even while maintaining the same core shape produces bowling balls with different rotational dynamics and differing reaction characteristics.
Still another technique used to make lighter weight balls involves the use of a compound core design. Typically, this involves the use of a high density inner core and a low density outer core. With this technique, the ratio of cover density to core density that exists in a sixteen pound ball can be maintained in the ratio of the outer core density to the inner core density in the lightweight balls. Stated another way, the lightweight ball made according to this technique employs lower densities in the core to lower the weight of the ball but the cover to core density ratio is maintained. This represents a significant improvement over the method of simply removing weight from the core but even so, it fails to preserve the same rotational dynamics at ail weights. This is due to the fact that the cover stock remains of the same density for ail ball weights which in turn causes the reaction characteristics of the lighter weight balls to differ from those of the sixteen pound version.
According to the invention, the aforementioned problems with lightweight ball designs are avoided by designing lightweight balls so that they have proportionally the same relationship between their moment of inertia and the ball/lane frictional forces as a sixteen pound ball of the same family.
As is well known, the moment of inertia, which is the resistance to a change in the rotational state of an object, plays an important part in bowling ball reaction as explained more fully in U.S. Pat. No. 5,074,553. Further, dynamic or sliding fiction between the bowling ball and the surface of the bowling lane is substantially responsible for the forces which cause a ball to hook or curve as it travels down the lane. Dynamic fiction is, of course, directly proportional to the weight of the ball in the case of a bowling ball rolling on a bowling lane so that as the weight of the ball is decreased, the resulting frictional force is also decreased proportional | uspto_backgrounds |
Merle Anthony
George Merlyn Anthony (April 26, 1926 – February 2, 1993) was a professional baseball umpire who worked in the American League from 1969 to 1975. Anthony umpired the 1974 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and the 1973 American League Championship Series. In his career, he umpired 965 Major League games. Before his umpiring career, he was a Minor League Baseball player in 1946 and 1948. During the 1950s Merle played second base for his hometown Marysville Giants and the Yuba-Sutter Rebels where he gave younger players tips on how to improve their skills. His nickname was "Rabbit."
Early career
Anthony had a brief minor league career as a player in the 1940s and 1950s. He returned to the minor leagues as an umpire between 1960 and 1969. During that period, Anthony umpired in the California League and the Pacific Coast League before receiving the nod to work in the major leagues.
MLB career
Notable games
As a home plate umpire on July 9, 1971, Anthony was involved in two arguments with Tony Conigliaro that preceded Conigliaro's retirement the next day. The first ensued when Conigliaro swung at a dropped third strike. The slugger ran to first base, but Anthony called him out per baseball rules, as there was already a runner occupying first base. In the 19th inning, Conigliaro was called out on strikes while attempting to bunt. Conigliaro tossed his helmet in the air and hit it with his bat. The player was ejected by one of Anthony's crew members, George Maloney.
Anthony was also one of the first three umpires, along with Don Denkinger and Dave Phillips to switch to the inside chest protector, which American League umpires were allowed to use beginning in the 1975 season.
Personal life
Anthony was married to the former Virginia Luggar. He was sales manager of the local Plymouth dealer during the 1950s.

However, one can ask, what they ought to pay for a full website? How would you get the best rates in terms of your business?
Cost Calculations for Freelance Web Designing in London, UK
Fortunately, this article is for those in need of information regarding the costs of web design as a whole. Please continue reading to learn more about it.
Service prices are dependent upon price averages within each agency. These can only be used for estimates. To get accurate quote, contact your target designer.
Why Should You Hire A Freelancer For Web Design in London?
For Convenience
Freelancers are usually hired for the sake of convenience. Getting someone who doesn’t need to sign an official contract to get the job done will have less complications and commitment from the company as compared to hiring a brand new employee.
Individualized Services
By working with a freelance website designer in London, UK, chances are you would be working with only a single person.
This leads to a more personalized brand of service as well as the freelancer taking much of your wants and needs into consideration prior to beginning the project. This is a significant factor to consider especially when designing your very own business website. This is because it will be the first avenue for communication you will have with your potential clients.
Variety of Skills
Freelancers tend to have more skills and a variety of other talents to complement web design as compared to the typical agency designer which are more specialized in terms of skill. This because many freelancers do not stop learning new sets of abilities.
Because of this, and they become more equipped to handle versatile design projects and customized websites.
More Experience
Freelancers have a wider range of experiences when it comes to web design as opposed to the common agency designer. Being able to work with different companies as well as varied sectors in society means more flexibility for the freelancer.
Freelancers tend to run in the same circles as their colleagues.This means that they will be able to collaborate with others effectively in case they don’t know how to work on certain aspects of the project down the line.
The Prospect of Aftercare
Most agencies do offer aftercare services. However, once the site in question goes live, and when the entire project is essentially finished. This | pile-cc |

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:01-CV-167-P-A
--------------------
August 20, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Tony L. Bland, Mississippi prisoner # 24431, has filed an
application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on
appeal, following the district court’s dismissal as frivolous of
his civil rights complaint. By moving for IFP, Bland is
challenging the district court’s certification that IFP status
should not be granted on appeal because his appeal is not taken
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 02-60099

in good faith. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997).
The district court construed Bland’s complaint as raising a
challenge to the medical care he received in the Mississippi
Department of Corrections and ordered that the case be dismissed
on res judicata and collateral estoppel grounds, as Bland had
raised the same claims in the state courts. Bland contends that

The US lockdown as of April 14 is idiotic for several reasons:
1) Lockdown was started to reduce need for ventilators. Since they don't work
66% - 90% (80% in NY) of the time, that's moot. (But Chinese papers have
published that since January, so I guess we're slow learners.)
2) 98% of people who catch corona virus recover fine on their own. Of the
remaining 2%, most are older, just like the flu every year.
3) The US is not S. Korea - we're not setup for testing or tracing, and won't
be for months. We'll run out of food and most small businesses will be ruined
for no good reason.
4) Corona virus has spread world-wide. There is no way to predict if it will
come back next month or not, so let's get rolling on herd immunity.
My practical suggestions are, to use a medical metaphor, just rip the bandaid
off:
1) Spend a week creating dedicated quarantine hospitals, just like Wuhan did
in Dec./Jan.
2) Tell everybody to sew a mask.
3) End the lockdown after communnicating the above, and let the flu runs its
course, just like every other year in human history.
I understand that it's human nature "to want to do something", but we have no
cure for this.

We also basically have no treatment, and that's why people are freaked out.
I'm personally encouraged by the speed at which people have risen to the

It is widely thought that the exposure of chondrogenic factors to bone marrow progenitor cells in cartilage lesions can enhance the synthesis of a repair tissue. This proposal is based on the hypotheses that gene transfer can be used as a means to achieve sustained synthesis of specific proteins within a cartilaginous lesion, and that this can be used to augment the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells toward chondrogenesis in vivo.

The average lifetime is in fact comprised of a number of components, including a fast ∼300 fs decay that is consistent with fullerene exciton dissociation due to hole transfer to PTB7 that has to be right next to the fullerene molecules. Slower picosecond decays represent exciton diffusion within regions of PC~71~BM before quenching due to hole transfer to PTB7. As the diffusion coefficient of PC~71~BM has been determined,^[@ref77]^ the morphology can be derived from the time-resolved PL decays. A best-fit is found for a region of pure fullerene material, spherical in shape with a diameter of 60 nm, as shown in [Figure [40](#fig40){ref-type="fig"}](#fig40){ref-type="fig"}A, well below the observed fullerene domain size of 150--200 nm. This led to a further examination of the morphology, and upon closer investigation, a "skin" layer of PTB7 was observed to be covering the active layer ([Figure [40](#fig40){ref-type="fig"}](#fig40){ref-type="fig"}B), similar to some MDMO-PPV and P3HT blends, as briefly mentioned in their respective sections above. This skin layer is polymer-rich in character, blankets the top of the film, and therefore obscures the structural organization of the material beneath it when probed with surface characterization techniques such as AFM. By removing this skin layer with plasma etching, the true morphology of the as-cast blend could then be observed with AFM ([Figure [40](#fig40){ref-type="fig"}](#fig40){ref-type="fig"}C), and the blend displays a remarkable ordered morphology, with the large fullerene domains appearing to actually comprise numerous small fullerene spheres 20--60 nm in size, surrounded by a PTB7-rich matrix.^[@ref77],[@ref276]^

Get current frame of video in javascript / jquery
I am playing video using the html video tag. While playing video I want the current frame of the video not "currentTime" using jquery or javascript.
I am able to get the current frame by doing the calculation of the fps of video and currentTime, but it is not giving the exact frame number. Any ideas how I can fix this?

In etching we remove a film or layer from a substrate, in some instances defining the layer to be removed by photolithography. One way to etch is to immerse the substrate in a bath of some chemical that attacks the film. Preferably, the chemical should react with and etch the film or layer in a smooth and reproducible manner, producing soluble products that can be carried away from the substrate. In particular, an ideal etchant will not attack any layer underneath the film being etched, so that the etch process will be self-limiting. Unfortunately, the etching is often not self-limiting and therefore goes below the desired depth. Etch-stops are designed to address this problem.
Semiconductors have the interesting property that when they are alloyed with certain elements, the rate of wet chemical etch in the alloy will vary from that of the unalloyed semiconductor. Alloys with different etch rates can be used to cause etching to slow at a pre-defined interface. Typically, a layer with a particular composition etches at a known rate in an etchant A second adjacent layer may etch at a different rate because it has a different composition. The layer with the lower etch rate is often referred to as the etch-stop layer.
Etch-stops are used to fabricate devices for a wide variety of applications. Membranes and diaphragms formed via etch-stops are used in sensors such as pressure transducers, as elements in experimental x-ray lithography systems, as windows for high energy radiation, and as low thermal mass supports for microcalorimeter and bolometric radiation detectors. Additional uses for selective etch-stops are in micromachining applications such as accelerometers, gears, micro-beams, miniature fluid lines, pumps and valves, and in flow sensors. Another application with a potentially large commercial market is in fabricating silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates by the bond-and-etch-back silicon-on-insulator (BESOI) process.

Gomez partnered with Beats Electronics for the "Hands to Myself" music video, promoting their Beats Pill portable speaker. She shared a 30-second preview clip of the music video on Facebook on December 7, 2015. The clip which heavily features the Beats Pill tied in as Beats Electronics' commercial for the product. On December 17, 2015, Gomez posted two image teasers on Instagram and then a second preview clip the following day. The music video premiered as an Apple Music exclusive on December 21, 2015, like its predecessor "Same Old Love". It remained on the service for almost a month, until being released on Vevo on January 20, 2016.
Synopsis
In the music video, Mason plays the role of an actor while Gomez plays his stalker. The video begins with a handcuffed Gomez writhing around on a bed, donning an engagement ring, a wig and black silk robe. Shots of marked maps and an image collage of Mason on a wall are then shown. Gomez later breaks into Mason's modern penthouse apartment with the intention of fulfilling a sexual fantasy of him. On arrival, Gomez takes off her robe and wears only spiked stilettos and black lingerie consisting of a bra and high-waisted underwear. She searches through his color-coordinated closet and tries on one of his dress shirts. Dancing in the shirt, Gomez proceeds to smelling his cologne bottle.
Gomez is then depicted writhing around on his bed caressing herself as she imagines a love scene with Mason. In another segment, she is shown taking a hot bath, imagining him in a shower. Gomez also watches a marathon of movies in which Mason stars. Tired, she proceeds back upstairs wrapped in a bed sheet where one of Mason's film posters titled The Obsession is shown at the staircase wall. Gomez then passes out on his bed. Mason later arrives home and realizes that something is wrong and calls the police who arrest Gomez. In a plot twist, the video ends zooming out from the preceding events, showing Gomez and Mason happily cuddling on a couch watching a film called Hands to Myself in which they starred.
Reception
The music video's release aided a 46% gain of 180,000 Twitter mentions for Gomez in the week ending December 27, 2015, according to Next Big Sound. It was well received by critics. Billboard magazine's Colin Stutz said: "It's not your standard love story, | wikipedia_en |
Suppose, as is typical, that ${\left\lVert{\operatorname{VE}_{{\scalebox{0.5}[1.0]{$-$}}}}^n-{\operatorname{VE}_{{\scalebox{0.5}[1.0]{$-$}}}}^0\right\rVert}_{2,P_\star^0}$ shrinks slower than ${n_{\textnormal{min}}}^{-1/2}$. In this case, if $\alpha\ge 1$, then the above gives conditions under which $\widehat{\theta}^n=\theta^0 + O_P({\left\lVert{\operatorname{VE}_{{\scalebox{0.5}[1.0]{$-$}}}}^n-{\operatorname{VE}_{{\scalebox{0.5}[1.0]{$-$}}}}^0\right\rVert}_{2,P_\star^0})$, where the big-oh can be replaced by a little-oh if $\alpha>1$.
By \[it:goodquantile\], Lemma \[lem:thetaee\], and \[it:thetaDonsker\], $$\begin{aligned}
o_P({n_{\textnormal{min}}}^{-1/2})=\widehat{\omega}^{\widehat{\beta}^n,n} - \mu= \omega^{\widehat{\beta}^n,0}-\omega^{\beta^0,0} + O_P({n_{\textnormal{min}}}^{-1/2}).\end{aligned}$$ Let $\beta^{n,0}$ denote the function $w\mapsto \operatorname{\mathds{1}}_{\{{\operatorname{VE}_{{\scalebox{0.5}[1.0]{$-$}}}}^0(w)<\widehat{\theta}^n\}}$. The above shows that $$\begin{aligned}
\omega^{\beta^{n,0},0}-\omega^{\beta^0,0}&= -[\omega^{\widehat{\beta}^n,0}-\omega^{\beta^{n,0},0}] + O_P({n_{\textnormal{min}}}^{-1/2})\end{aligned}$$ At the end of this proof, we show that $\omega^{\widehat{\beta}^n,0} - \omega^{\beta^{n,0},0} = o_P(1)$ without using Condition $\alpha$. For now suppose we have established this. By \[it:omegacontnotflat\], $\theta\mapsto\omega^{w\mapsto\operatorname{\mathds{1}}\{{\operatorname{VE}_{{\scalebox{0.5}[1 | arxiv |

But yeah, the MIDI controller should be no problem, but I never had any intention of actually playing the songs in real time on a keyboard. I feel as though repairing the wing of an F-16 fighter jet would be less difficult, for lack of a better metaphor.
I haven't done any scorewriting myself yet, but I do know that there's an alternative to programs like Finale or Sibelius. LilyPond, definitely not as user friendly as those proprietary softwares, but it gets the work done and the result is like very high quality music engraving. If you're familiar with LaTeX, LilyPond is like its equivalent for score writing.
At the end of the day, I guess it doesn't really matter what you decide do write them with, but it's an option that you could look into.
Guitar Pro automatically transcribes tabs to scores, also it plays the entire song on midi instrument imitations, but it sounds like shit from what I know.Close to a World Below would be interesting, At the Gates - Primal Breath?
MIDI controllers are not that much more helpful than knowing the hotkeys. I would save your money.
I don't think metal is complex/specialized enough to need notation yet, but I guess it would be an interesting project for archival purposes. Just make sure you don't suck at aural dictation, so we don't get a situation like what happened with "The Real Book", where half the songs contain blatant errors because the kids at Berklee who did the transcriptions didn't know what the fuck they were doing.
If you want to actually buy the program, Guitar Pro is only $50. However, Finale has superior sounding virtual instruments.
Guitar Pro might be a good start to this project. I'm definitely not looking for quality virtual sound, simple MIDI effects will work fine, as long as every note that the stringed instruments are playing are represented at equal volume, all with the same effect so it sounds as if it's all being played on one big keyboard. The broad range of tones all being played at once will all be heard, even by people who claim that even the best metal is just noise, people that have no experience to the genre but are still drawn to ambient and classical. I have no doubt that the final product will be something that resembles ambient.

No. 13-10246
I.
Bagley pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a forged and counterfeit
security in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 513(a). The security at issue was a blank
counterfeit check. It was one of many that Bagley and others had created using
stolen identities.
Although the count to which she was pleading guilty involved a blank
check and thus caused no loss, the factual resume Bagley signed at the plea
colloquy stated that the penalty for her conviction may include “restitution to
victims . . . which the defendant agrees may include restitution arising from
all relevant conduct, not limited to that arising from the offense of conviction
alone.” The district court also orally confirmed this understanding before
Bagley entered her plea.
The Presentence Report (PSR) noted that restitution is ordinarily limited
to the offense of conviction, but characterized Bagley’s acknowledgement in the
factual resume as an agreement that she would “pay restitution as a result of
all relevant conduct.” The relevant conduct assessment, which was also used
to determine Bagley’s Sentencing Guidelines range, found $7,918.57 in actual
loss attributable to counterfeit checks that were used during the scheme.
Bagley did not object to either this calculation or the PSR’s recommendation
that restitution should include relevant conduct. The district court followed
the PSR and ordered Bagley to pay restitution of $7,918.57.
II.
Because Bagley challenges the restitution order for the first time in this
appeal, we review for plain error. To demonstrate plain error, an appellant
must show an error that is clear and obvious and that affected her substantial
rights. Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009) (citing United States
v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732–34 (1993)). If the appellant makes such a showing,

error seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial
proceedings. Id.

For motivational purposes you might try focusing on the other side of the
relationship, and consider the people who need your help and will benefit from
your projects, if only they could find you.
And while you're there, maybe ask where they're likely to be found, how they

goals would be served by what you have to offer.

1/ State the objectives you want to achieve. They should be measurable e.g. %
increase in signups, emails collected, etc.
2/ As @noelwesh mentions, create a checklist
3/ Measure the impact of each action in the checklist
4/ At the end of a 'campaign', evaluate what worked, what didn't, how to
improve things, how to learn further.
5/ Iterate.

In the squid, nerve cell bodies and axons contain abundant CANP activity, whereas nerve terminals (i.e., optic lobe synaptosomes) do not.

Further determinants of stickiness {#Sec9}
----------------------------------
To analyze other potential determinants of stickiness, we incorporate a large set of explanatory variables into model (1), again using OLS to estimate a function of the following form:$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{amsfonts}

We now control for a vector of socioeconomic covariates to account for other determinants *X* ~*s* , *i* , *t*~ that might affect the probability of a job change. Because job satisfaction is a catch-all variable, we omit it from this specification. Rather, *X* ~*s* , *i* , *t*~ covers gender, age, years of education, marital status, current level of employment, number of children in the household, migrant background, annual number of doctor visits years in the company, actual working hours, and net household income. Although our choice of explanatory variables is primarily driven by the available data in the GSOEP, all these covariates have been shown to be related to turnover. Women, combined with marital status, the level of employment, as well as the number of children in the household, are all associated with kinship responsibilities, which tend to weaken the attachment to the work environment \[[@CR11]\]. Several studies have shown that age has an inverse relation with turnover \[[@CR31]\]. Possible reasons include that older nurses have more firm-specific knowledge and tend to have higher levels of job satisfaction. Higher levels of education often go hand-in-hand with higher turnover rates as they are more likely and able to advance their careers by job changes \[[@CR32], [@CR33]\]. High education is also often associated with better labor-market alternatives \[[@CR34]\].

The invention is of interest to the field of medical diagnostic imaging, in which reconstruction of the internal structures of an object, such as a patient, under examination is undertaken. In particular, the invention is applicable to the reconstruction of angiographic images, that is, obtaining images of vascular systems opacified by injection of a contrast medium.
In the field of medical diagnostic imaging, two-dimensional projected images of the object, for example, a patient""s abdomen, are generally obtained by rotation of an X-ray camera around the object. In an abdominal imaging application, peristalsis is known to cause defects in the reconstructed three-dimensional images. Those defects are due to the displacement of gas bubbles between the acquisition of so-called mask images, that is, in which no contrast medium has been injected, and the acquisition of opacified images. In other words, this produces white and black regions in the subtracted images. This phenomenon is particularly disturbing for three-dimensional reconstructions from subtracted projected images, because six to ten seconds can elapse between acquisition of the series of mask images and acquisition of the corresponding series of opacified images. The first negative effect of those defects is to disturb display of the reconstructed image by reason of their superposition on the vessels in three-dimensional images. As a result, the user removes the superposition manually by using, for example, an electronic scalpel. Another undesirable effect is produced when a multiresolution approach is used for reconstruction of the three-dimensional image. In that case, the signal comprises a large quantity of voxels and can lead to the suppression of some small vessels of the region which is reconstructed at high resolution.
The invention is directed to a reduction, preferably automatically, and even a total suppression of such defects in three-dimensional image reconstruction, particularly in abdominal angiographic images.
An embodiment of the invention is a method reconstruction of a three-dimensional radiographic image of an object, comprising:

Thompson moved from the Washington, D.C. during the last week of February or the first week of March in 1903 to the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. He succeeded J. Frank Armstrong as the assistant to Emmett Scott, who was private secretary to Booker T. Washington. In August 1903, after six months working at the Tuskegee Institute, Thompson was given a civil service position in the United States Jeffersonville Quartermaster Depot in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just across the river from Louisville.
Continued relationship with Washington
The friction in the African-American community continued and Thompson's role as a newspaperman remained fundamental. In 1905, W. E. B. Du Bois and William Monroe Trotter founded the Niagara Movement as a call for opposition to racial segregation and disenfranchisement, and it was opposed to policies of accommodation and conciliation promoted by African-American leaders such as Booker T. Washington. Washington requested that Emmett Scott direct Thompson and other newspaper men, including W. Calvin Chase, to ignore the Niagara Movement. Thompson had already referenced the movement with some sarcasm and proceeded to avoid the movement in his papers, writing "to advertise the movement by opposition even, would be to magnify it."
The Colored American failed in 1906 and Washington, who had supported it, now moved his support to the Washington Bee, W. Calvin Chase editor. Chase had opposed Washington, but needed the money. Washington used his political influence with Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft to try to remove Lafayette Hershaw and Freeman H. M. Murray from their government positions and spy on meetings of the Niagara Movement. Thompson and Chase both felt uncomfortable supporting Washington's actions in these matters, and received additional payment from Washington to secure their support.
Thompson continued to work closely with Washington for the rest of Washington's life. In 1909 he traveled through South Carolina with Washington, assisting the educator and writing about his work there.
Dispute with Calvin Chase
Calvin Chase of the Washington Bee was not, usually, fond of Thompson. In 1909, in Louisville, Thompson founded the National Negro Press Association in conjunction with the National Negro Business League and twice served as its president. In 1910, Chase attacked the organization, calling it "fake" and, writing in the Washington Bee, called Thompson "an editor without a paper", to which Thompson replied from the Indianapolis Freeman that Chase's Bee was "a paper | wikipedia_en |
Discussion of Taylor remainder errors
=====================================
This paper documents an algorithm taking Taylor approximations to the image $\bar{I}$ to Taylor approximations to the normal field $\bar{N}$. Here we discuss the potential errors from using the Taylor approximations rather than the true values.
Recall the multivariate Taylor remainder formula with multi-index notation: $$\begin{aligned}
R_{\bm{a}, k}(\bm{h}) = \sum_{| \alpha | = k + 1} \partial^\alpha f(\bm{a} + c \bm{h}) \frac{\bm{h}^\alpha}{\alpha!} \quad \text{for some} \, c \in (0, 1)\end{aligned}$$
where $\bm{a}$ is the point of expansion, $\bm{h}$ is a vector in $\mathbb{R}^2$, $k$ is the order of the Taylor expansion, and $\alpha$ is a multi-index. We can use this equation to calculate errors for the two Taylor approximations used in the paper. We apply it to an image patch $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, where we normalize so that $\Omega = \{\bm{a} + \bm{h} \big| \, || \bm{h} || \leq 1 \}$. The error $\delta = I - \bar{I}$ will be bounded proportional to the largest value of the $(k+1)$th derivative of the image $I$ in the image patch centered at $a$: $$\begin{aligned}
\delta_{\bm{a}, k}(\bm{h}) & = \sum_{| \alpha | = k + 1} \partial^\alpha \delta (\bm{a} + c \bm{h}) \frac{\bm{h}^\alpha}{\alpha!} \quad \text{for some} \, c \in (0, 1) \\
& \leq \max_{\bm{v} \in S^1, \, c \in (0, 1)} 2^k \left| \left| {\mathcal{D}}^j I_{\bm{a} + c \bm{h}} \left(\bm{v}^{\bigotimes 2^j} \right) \right| \right|^2\end{aligned}$$
where we have bounded each term in the sum by the largest value and bounded $\bm{h}^\alpha$ by 1.

Missouri highway engineers are seeking public comment on alternatives to improve Interstate 70 within Kansas City that could include closing access at some interchanges. On and off ramps that could be closed include those at Brooklyn Avenue, Benton Boulevard, Truman Road, 18th Street, 27th Street and Manchester Trafficway.
Missouri highway engineers are seeking public comment on alternatives to improve Interstate 70 within Kansas City that could include closing access at some interchanges.
On and off ramps that could be closed include those at Brooklyn Avenue, Benton Boulevard, Truman Road, 18th Street, 27th Street and Manchester Trafficway.
The Missouri Department of Transportation previously wanted to close the Manchester interchange because it was considered too near to Interstate 435. But the state was persuaded to shelve the idea when businesses in the area protested. That proposal, however, is still among the alternatives being considered.
The suggestions are part of a menu of ideas that also includes improving other interchanges, adding lanes and improving the Benton and Jackson curves.
An earlier stage of the study estimated that improving key bottlenecks would cost $160 million for right-of-way acquisition and $630 million for construction.
“There is currently no funding for design and construction,” project manager Allan Zafft acknowledged in a statement. “But completing this study is an important step in having the project ready to go should funding become available.”
I-70 in Kansas City was built more than 50 years ago and was designed to last 20 years. It carries far more traffic now than was anticipated — nearly 95,000 vehicles a day downtown and nearly 113,000 a day near Kauffman Stadium.
So highway engineers are studying ways to improve safety and conditions on the 6.8 miles from the Paseo to the Blue Ridge Cutoff. Officials say that section is experiencing pavement and bridge deterioration, has traffic delays and congestion and has issues with traffic merging and weaving.
MoDOT is seeking suggestions from the public at a series of meetings planned in February and online through Feb. 25 at
An analysis of crash data found that eight people died in eight accidents on that stretch of I-70 from 2006 to 2010, and there were 32 crashes that resulted in disabling injuries. The largest percentage of crashes were rear-enders, accounting for 48 percent of accidents.
The highway is only going to get more congested without improvements. The population of Jackson County is expected to grow by nearly 21 percent by | pile-cc |

TOTEM CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, an Arizona corporation, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 1 CA-CIV 9924.
Court of Appeals of Arizona, Division 1, Department D.
May 9, 1989.
Warner, Alvarez, McCarthy & Palmer by Donald R. Alvarez, Phoenix, for plaintiff-appellee.
Sternberg, Sternberg & Rubin by Ronald I. Rubin, Phoenix, for defendant-appellant.
OPINION
GRANT, Chief Judge.
This appeal raises a question of first impression: whether a liquidated damage provision in a contract is enforceable only upon a showing of actual damages. The appeal is taken from a partial summary judgment on the liquidated damage issue, an arbitration award and an award of attorney's fees.
FACTS
Totem Construction Company (Totem) was the general contractor on some remodeling and construction at Glendale Community *192 College. Mechanical Air Engineering Company (MAECO) was a subcontractor, furnishing labor and materials for heating, ventilating, air conditioning, sheet metal, and plumbing work. The parties agreed in paragraph 19 of their contract to damages in the amount of $350 for each day of MAECO's delay:
The SUBCONTRACTOR will cooperate with the CONTRACTOR and other SUBCONTRACTORS whose work might interface with the SUBCONTRACTOR'S work and will participate in the coordination of such interface as required, specifically, noting and advising the CONTRACTOR of any interference. The CONTRACTOR, however, will not be liable to the SUBCONTRACTOR for any delays in scheduling the work to be performed by the SUBCONTRACTOR, or any damages arising from such delays. SUBCONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR agree that if the SUBCONTRACTOR fails to perform within the time specified on the progress schedule posted at the project site, that damages will occur to the CONTRACTOR but that such damages while capable of calculation are not capable of being specifically known at this time. Therefore in lieu of proof of such damages SUBCONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR agree that a reasonable sum for such damages (and not as a penalty) is the sum of $350.00 per calendar days in excess of the time specifically and that such shall constitute liquidated damages agreed to.
MAECO sued Totem alleging that $16,000 was owed on its subcontracts and change orders. Totem counterclaimed, alleging that | freelaw |

Wow I really disagree with this. Most websites do have a profit model, or were
never tying to make any to begin with. Correctly said most /popular/ web
businesses don't have one. A large majority of sites are just personal pages
or business giving itself a web presence, most of these pages (outside blogs)
aren't ones we visit daily. Even then some companies always had the revenue
model of advertising, like newspapers and TV they just haven't quite adapted
it to the web. Depending on how much they charge Comedy Central seems like
they might have a good plan for translating TV to the web and be profitable.
I disagree with Speed of the remote too. sure it's fast to flip channels and
radio stations but that's not much different than clicking next on a page as
long as the button doesn't move it's just as fast. I for the life of me can't
figure out how to turn on closed captioning on my tv with the comcast remote.
I know it can be done, but to be honest where ever it is it's not obvious. And
how do I find the channel comedy central is on if I don't know it? I have
browse a channel at a time? this is horrible with a few hundred channels, they
need to make it more scalable like DNS + search engines is (on demand actually
has a decent interface lets make the whole guide alphabetical shall we). On a
radio the only reason I can get directly to say station 106.1 is because I
have it programmed in to my favorites. Radio's UI would be much simpler if
they had a keypad like a phone and you could type in numbers as well as with a

Genetic determinants of these factors have to be investigated.
The profiling of *Prakruti* in patients with diabetes has been studied by several groups. In a study from the Central Research Institute (Ayurveda), Jaipur, the frequency of *kapha/* with *vata/pitta* was much more (64 %) than pure *pitta/kapha*/with *vata* (36 %). The response to the treatment with *Nisha amalaki* was also better in patients of *kapha prakruti.* The other study from the Banaras Hindu University showed a strong correlation of blood glucose response to exercise with prakruti. In another study from BHU, an association was found between the type 2 diabetes mellitus and 5, 10-methylene tetrafolate reductase MTHFR C677T. The CT genotype is protective. The study did not show any association of genotypes with the prakruti. MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism, common in the Chinese population, presents a genetic risk factor for diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. So there is also a need to consider Prakruti genomics for assessing the risk, onset and severity of complications in diabetes. Reverse Pharmacolgy coupled with Ayurgenomics can be applied to detect and measure the variation in drug response correlates vis-à-vis Prakruti.

The present invention relates generally to multichip modules (MCMs) that include substrates with a number of semiconductor devices positioned at different locations on the surfaces thereof and, more specifically, to multichip modules that include routing elements overlapping portions of the multichip module substrate or one or more of the semiconductor devices on the substrate. In particular, the present invention relates to a routing element that provides additional circuit traces and that may be used to decrease the lengths of circuit paths across a multichip module.
2. Background of Related Art
Multichip modules have been developed to combine the functionalities of two or more semiconductor devices on a single carrier substrate, such as a circuit board. Conventional multichip modules have included a relatively large carrier substrate with a number of different semiconductor devices occupying different regions on one or both sides thereof. The semiconductor devices may communicate with one another or be connected with terminals of the carrier substrate that, in turn, facilitate communication between the semiconductor devices of the multichip module and external electronic componentry. In either event, electrical signals are typically conveyed by circuit traces that are carried by the carrier substrate.
As the feature densities of semiconductor devices continue to increase, the number of bond pads on semiconductor devices may also increase. In addition, the ever-increasing feature densities of semiconductor devices may be accompanied by decreases in the size of semiconductor devices which, in turn, may result in multichip modules that include increased numbers of semiconductor devices, again increasing the number of bond pads for a particular carrier substrate. Thus, the carrier substrates of state of the art multichip modules must carry ever-increasing numbers of circuit traces to keep up with the ever-increasing numbers of bond pads for which the carrier substrate must provide electrical connections.
To accommodate additional circuit traces, additional conductive and dielectric layers are typically added to carrier substrates. The increase in the manufacturing cost of carrier substrates, however, does not increase a proportionate amount for each additional layer. Rather, while carrier substrates with four layers cost only about 50% more than two-layer carrier substrates, six-layer carrier substrates are about ten times as expensive as two-layer carrier substrates due to decreased yields. Similar cost increases accompany further increases in the complexity of carrier substrates. As additional layers are often added for the purpose of providing relatively few additional circuit traces, the increased cost of a carrier substrate with these additional layers is difficult to justify in this cost-competitive industry.
In addition, due to the ever increasing numbers of circuit traces that are carried upon and within | uspto_backgrounds |
In 214, after Liu Bei seized control of Yi Province from Liu Zhang and became the new Governor of Yi Province, he appointed Peng Yang as an Assistant Officer in the Headquarters Office (治中從事) of Yi Province. As he had risen through the ranks to a position much higher than his previous appointment as a scribe, Peng Yang felt very smug about his achievements and started behaving in an arrogant manner towards others.
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's chief adviser, disliked Peng Yang but pretended to be accommodating and tolerant towards him. He secretly warned Liu Bei on numerous occasions that Peng Yang was a highly ambitious individual who might become a threat to them in the long term. As Liu Bei highly trusted Zhuge Liang and had been quietly observing Peng Yang's actions and behaviour, he believed Zhuge Liang was right so he started distancing himself from Peng Yang. Later, he sent Peng Yang away from Chengdu, Yi Province's capital, to serve as the Administrator of Jiangyang Commandery (江陽郡; around present-day Luzhou, Sichuan).
Downfall and execution
When Peng Yang learnt that he was going to be sent away from Chengdu to serve as a commandery administrator elsewhere, he felt very unhappy so he visited Ma Chao, one of Liu Bei's generals, and told him about it. Ma Chao asked him: "You are an outstanding talent. Our lord trusts and regards you highly. You should be serving him alongside people like Kongming and Xiaozhi. When you accept your reassignment to a small commandery, doesn't that take you further away from your initial goal(s)?" Peng Yang grumbled: "That old piece of leather is ridiculous and muddle-headed! What else can I say?" He also told Ma Chao: "You are outside while I am inside. The Empire can be pacified." His words were interpreted as asking Ma Chao to join him in plotting a coup d'état against Liu Bei.
As Ma Chao had only recently joined Liu Bei, he often feared that he would get into trouble so he did not respond even though he felt shocked after hearing what Peng Yang told him. After Peng Yang left, he secretly reported him to the authorities. As a result, Peng Yang was arrested and imprisoned for plotting treason against Liu Bei.
While awaiting his execution, Peng Yang wrote a letter to | wikipedia_en |
While the dipole-nucleus amplitude probes the statistics of the largest dipole in the quantum evolution, the physics of dipole-dipole scattering is a bit different: Indeed, since the elementary amplitude (for dipoles of respective sizes $r_0$ and $R_0$) at zero rapidity is essentially $T(r_0,R_0)\sim \alpha_s^2\delta(\ln r_0^2/R_0^2)$, it is the very shape of the dipole number distribution that is actually probed (Fig. \[Fig:dd\]). So in order to compute the shape of the amplitude, we need on one hand the probability distribution of the front fluctuations used before, and on the other hand the shape of the dipole number density from the deterministic evolution. We also need to implement [*saturation*]{} in the evolution (see Fig. \[Fig:dd\]c) to comply with the unitarity constraint $T\leq 1$. All in all, we obtain $$T(r_0,y)\underset{r_0\ll 1/Q_s(y)}{\sim}
\ln^2 \frac{1}{r_0^2 Q_s^2(y)} e^{\gamma_0 \ln ({r_0^2 Q_s^2(y)})}
\ \ \text{where}
\ \
Q_s^2(y)R_0^2\simeq e^{\bar\alpha\chi^\prime(\gamma_0)y}.
\label{eq:Tdd}$$ Interestingly enough, it differs from the dipole-nucleus case; compare Eq. (\[eq:TdA\]) to Eq. (\[eq:Tdd\]). This is the main prediction of the way of looking at QCD evolution we have promoted at this conference and in Ref. [@Mueller:2014fba].

Transart Collegium MeetingsTransart Collegium Meetings—made up of student representatives (MFA and PhD) and Transart faculty and staff representatives—are an internal Transart-only forum in which any issues that arise are brought forward for resolution. There is a collegium meeting at each residency and additional collegium meetings can be called (held via Skype) at any time between residencies when Transart is in session. For both issues and ideas, request your student, faculty or staff rep add an agenda item to the next collegium meeting, or between residencies to call a collegium meeting by Skype.* If you are a rep and have an issue personally, you will request another rep to represent you.
All agenda are due from reps to all collegium members, 48 hours in advance. If you have an issue you will state your issue; goal; and desired outcome in writing 48 hours in advance of a meeting. Only agenda items submitted on time can be reviewed. Another meeting may be called for new items at any time at a residency or by Skype.
Meeting chair and minute taker may rotate by rep request
Minutes and outcome reports will be sent by email to all current students, faculty, instructors, or advisors, and staff via weblink expiring within 2 weeks (when in session). All minutes will be filed in the Transart Cloud and are accessible via the School Manager at any time the institute is in session. Minutes and Outcome Reports are filed and stored in the Transart Cloud.
Responses to issues raised in one meeting will be reported via Outcome Report in the following meeting.
New reps may be elected at any time if necessary but preferably at the beginning of Fall semester. Elections take place via Jotform ballot. It is possible to elect oneself. Results will be approved via Advisory Board and announced by the School Manager. Reps are listed in the relevant school directory.
If students are dissatisfied with the collegium's decision: PU Student Complaints Procedure. Note: PU will not re-investigate your complaint but will evaluate whether (or not) Transart has properly followed its stated procedures and come to a reasonable conclusion.

ANALYSIS
Having granted judgment on the pleadings, the sole issue before us is the appropriate discipline. Neb. Ct. R. of Discipline 4 (rev.2004) provides that the following may be considered by this court as sanctions for attorney misconduct: (1) disbarment; (2) suspension for a fixed period of time; (3) probation in lieu of suspension, on such terms as the court may designate; (4) censure and reprimand; or (5) temporary suspension.
Regarding the imposition of attorney discipline, each case must be evaluated individually in the light of the particular facts and circumstances of that case. See State ex rel. Counsel for Dis. v. Lechner, 266 Neb. 948, 670 N.W.2d 457 (2003). For purposes of determining the proper discipline of an attorney, we consider the attorney's acts both underlying the events of the case and throughout the proceeding. Id.
To determine whether and to what extent discipline should be imposed in a lawyer discipline proceeding, we consider the following factors: (1) the nature of the offense, (2) the need for deterring others, (3) the maintenance of the reputation of the bar as a whole, (4) the protection of the public, (5) the attitude of the offender generally, and (6) the offender's present or future fitness to continue in the practice of law. Id. In addition, the determination of an appropriate penalty to be imposed on an attorney in a disciplinary proceeding requires consideration of any mitigating factors. Id.
Here, Watts violated several disciplinary rules and violated his oath of office as an attorney. He has failed to respond to the charges, and there is no record of mitigating factors. We have previously disbarred attorneys who, like Watts, violated disciplinary rules regarding trust accounts, mishandled client funds, and failed to cooperate with the Counsel during the disciplinary proceedings. See, State ex rel. Counsel for Dis. v. Lechner, supra; State ex rel. Special Counsel for Dis. v. Brinker, 264 Neb. 478, 648 N.W.2d 302 (2002); State ex rel. NSBA v. Howze, 260 Neb. 547, 618 N.W.2d 663 (2000).
We have considered the undisputed allegations of the formal charges and the applicable law. Upon consideration, we find that Watts should be disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Nebraska. | freelaw |

I love potassium permanganate. Growing up in Soviet Union, we used to add
potassium permanganate to bath, supposedly to clean your skin. But I love it
for its oxidizing properties. Mix potassium permanganate with magnesium
shavings, and you have a pretty powerful explosive mixture. Put a drop or two
of glycerine into potassium permanganate and glycerine spontaneously burns.
There are tons of interesting experiments you could do with potassium
permanganate... So many wonderful memories...

We studied the effect of regeneration on the sorption properties of the Affi-Gel 15--Dsg3 immunosorbent. Some 100 μL of the serum with a level of activity of 200 RU/mL from a pemphigus patient was added to 20 μl of the sorbent. Suspensions were incubated at room temperature and stirring at 2 rpm for 30 min and precipitated by centrifugation (3 000 rpm, 1 min), the supernatant was removed, the sorbent was regenerated according to the described procedure, and a fresh portion of serum was added. The procedure was repeated 12 times, with residual serum activity being determined in the supernatant after each procedure.
**Preparations for administration to laboratory animals**
Pemphigus was induced in laboratory animals *in vivo* using IgG isolated from a pool of sera from pemphigus vulgaris patients with anti-Dsg3 antibody activity of 12 000 RU/mL.
To prevent the pathogenic effect of anti-desmoglein antibodies *in vivo*, 1 mL of IgG with activity of 12 000 RU/mL was adsorbed onto 500 μL of the synthesized immunosorbent (at room temperature and stirring at 2 rpm for 30 min), followed by precipitation of the sorbent by centrifugation (3 000 rpm, 1 min). Activity of the preparation after sorption was determined in the supernatant.
The animals of the control group were injected with IgG isolated from a pool of blood sera from healthy individuals, as well as with sterile phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.3.
Before administration to laboratory animals, all IgG solutions were sterilized by filtration through Millex filters (Merck Millipore, USA) with a pore size of 0.22 μm.
**Experiments on laboratory animals**
The experiments were performed in the Laboratory of Biological Testing of the Branch of the Shemyakin and Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry -- Pushchino Nursery for Laboratory Animals (Russia, Pushchino). The nursery has AAALAC international accreditation. The system for quality control of laboratory animals production in the Nursery is certified to international requirements of ISO 9001:2008.

Influenza is one of the most widely spread infections worldwide. It can be deadly: an estimated 20 to 40 million people died during the 1918 influenza A virus pandemic. In the United States between 20 and 40 thousand people die from influenza A virus infection or its complications each year. During epidemics the number of influenza related hospitalizations may reach over 300,000 in a single winter season.
Several properties contribute to the epidemiological success of influenza virus. First, it is spread easily from person to person by aerosol (droplet infection). Second, small changes in influenza virus antigens are frequent (antigenic drift) so that the virus readily escapes protective immunity induced by a previous exposure to a different variant of the virus. Third, new strains of influenza virus can be easily generated by reassortment or mixing of genetic material between different strains (antigenic shift). In the case of influenza A virus, such mixing can occur between subtypes or strains that affect different species. The 1918 pandemic is thought to have been caused by a hybrid strain of virus derived from reassortment between a swine and a human influenza A virus. At present, there is a spreading concern about the potential emergence of novel influenza strains infective to humans, particularly from avian influenza variants, and more particularly from strain H5N1, by mixing in humans concurrently exposed to human and avian influenza virus. The close contact between agricultural birds and their human breeders familiar in most asian societies has experts convinced that it is not a question of whether but only when such a mixed strain will arise. A world-wide pandemic could swiftly ensue, with even graver consequences than in 1918.
Despite intensive efforts, there is still no effective therapy for influenza virus infection and existing vaccines are limited in value in part because of the properties of antigenic shift and drift described above. For these reasons, global surveillance of influenza A virus has been underway for many years, and the National Institutes of Health designates it as one of the top priority pathogens for biodefense. Although current vaccines based upon inactivated virus are able to prevent illness in approximately 70-80% of healthy individuals under age 65, this percentage is far lower in the elderly or immunocompromised. In addition, the expense and potential side effects associated with vaccine administration make this approach less than optimal. Although the antiviral drugs currently approved in the United States for treatment and/or prophylaxis of influenza are helpful, their use is limited due to concerns about side effects, compliance, and possible emergence of resistant strains.

Solosez
Solosez is an electronic mailing list of more than 3,300 members. Most of the members are lawyers, law students and law-related professionals, although the list welcomes all comers, lawyer and non-lawyer alike. Sponsored and hosted by the American Bar Association (ABA) and its General Practice Solo and Small Firm Division. The list started in 1996 with just a handful of members. It quickly grew to be the most successful and active listserve sponsored by the ABA. The ABA also maintains a website, Solosez.net, which features among other things a searchable archive of past discussion threads.
Overview
Solosez members are located throughout the United States and in other countries, including members located in Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Korea, India, China, South Africa, Panama, New Zealand, Mexico, Denmark, France, and Pakistan.
The list is designed as a forum for lawyers who are solo and small firm practitioners and is intended to help them share and obtain information on a wide array of personal and professional issues. List members refer to themselves as "Sezzers." Lawyers can seek advice and suggestions from fellow lawyers on topics including how to start a law office, litigation strategies, dealing with difficult clients, the newest legal software, recommendations on computers and other law office technology, and any other topic that solo and small firm lawyers face. The list also serves as a virtual "water cooler", where members located around the world can discuss those topics common to face-to-face discussions around the water cooler or in the lunchroom.
Each October, Solosez members from around the country and around the world attend a group admission to the bar of the United States Supreme Court.
There are few rules. One rule requires that, before posting the first substantive message to the group, new members must first send a message which introduces themselves by disclosing their favorite drink and the names of any pets living in their home or office. Other rules prohibit political discussion and personal attacks. The current administrator is Jennifer J. Rose, who manages and moderates the list, as well as selects and publishes the most popular discussion threads or topics on a monthly basis going back to January 2005. She has managed this list since 1997 with a hiatus between September 2007 and January 2009. The popular threads link is available to non-subscribers, allowing them to get a sneak preview of recent "hot" discussion items | wikipedia_en |

Cir. 1998) (internal quotation marks omitted). Oliver cannot meet this high standard because there
is evidence that he was part of the cocaine-trafficking conspiracy.
Oliver admits having been a cocaine dealer. The only question is whether he was part of the
conspiracy, as the jury found, or whether he was a “lone wolf” as he claims. There is evidence of
the former. Oliver purchased cocaine for resale from conspiracy members Otis Morris and Tyree
Miller. He used other conspiracy members to facilitate purchases. There was also evidence that
Oliver was involved in hundreds of drug sales. Since he did not manufacture his own cocaine, he
must have made large and frequent purchases from distributors such as Morris and Tyree Miller.
This is further evidence that Oliver was part of the conspiracy. “Since the jury was presented with
significant evidence that defendant was heavily involved in drug trafficking, it could infer that the
source of his drugs remained fairly constant.” United States v. Anderson, 89 F.3d 1306, 1311-12
(6th Cir. 1996).
Oliver argues that evidence that he sold drugs is not enough to prove that he was part of a
conspiracy. However, such evidence may be enough to demonstrate that there was not a manifest
miscarriage of justice in this case. Furthermore, while one-off purchases do not demonstrate the
-4-
Nos. 12-1368, 12-1380
United States v. Miller & Oliver
existence of a conspiracy, repeated purchases do. Id. Oliver purchased drugs from several members
of the conspiracy on multiple occasions, and used other members to set up his purchases. This
evidence supports a conclusion that he knew that the conspiracy existed and that he was distributing
drugs in furtherance of the conspiracy.
Oliver’s sentence is reasonable considering the large amount of cocaine the conspiracy
distributed and his lengthy criminal history. Because his sentence is within the properly calculated
sentencing guideline range, it is presumed reasonable. See United States v. Rosenbaum, 585 F.3d
259, 267 (6th Cir. 2009). This reasonableness is confirmed by the factors the district court properly
used to decide on the sentence.

This is a point about Japanese culture. Presumably this refers to
acknowledging neighbors when they meet each other without any further
interaction. Regardless, I don't know enough about what the author is alluding
to with this, but one can be just as surprised that one's current neighbors
(while living in Japan) actually communicate or acknowledge each other if one
comes from a place where neighbors don't know each other, something quite
common in big cities.
> A typical sentence in India—or from my friend from Mexico—begins, “No, but .

reflect silence. A recent BBC article speculates why French say "no" so much

This sounds very much like how business writers observe that Japanese business
err on saying yes, and sometimes after a lot of talking, you can find the no
hiding behind a Japanese yes.

Die Therapiedauer der Pneumonie richtet sich insbesondere nach den klinischen Stabilitätskriterien. Bei leichter bis mittelschwerer Pneumonie ist die Dauer der antimikrobiellen Therapie für 5--7 Tage empfohlen. Kürzere Therapien sind bei sehr frühzeitiger klinischer Stabilisierung möglich und können das Auftreten therapieassoziierter Nebenwirkungen, besonders bei älteren Patienten, verhindern. Stabilitätskriterien (wie Normalisierung der Herzfrequenz und des Blutdrucks, Atemfrequenz \< 24/min, Normothermie, Normalisierung des kognitiven Zustands auf Vorniveau und die Besserung der Hypoxämie) sollten mindestens 2 Tage vor Beendigung der antibiotischen Therapie erreicht werden \[[@CR5]\].

An agent "A" to which I will refer for the following explanation provided me with services such as searching for several apartments that conforms to my budget, bringing me to look at the apartments, etc. It was on Friday. As no apartments satisfied me, the staff will provide me with other options in the next Monday.
As I have no time to wait, I go to other agents and I found an apartment on Saturday. Sunday afternoon, there was a call from the agent A saying, when you will come tomorrow? My reply is as follows:
大変申し訳ありません。新しいアパートを見つけてしまいましたので・・・
And his respond is
オッケーです
Question
How polite is おっけーです when it is said by the shop staff to a customer?
Is there any feel of disappointment in this context?
A:
オッケーです on its own does not have a feel of disappointment. It's just "I understood" or "okay," which can be said with or without disappointment. (But writing it with hiragana (おっけーです) is only acceptable in a chat with your close friends. You heard it, right?)
オッケーです is relatively colloquial and casual. It's definitely inappropriate if this is said by a receptionist of a luxury hotel you visit for the first time. But some experts like real estate agents and physicians tend to drop keigo (at least very formal ones) fairly quickly once you are familiar with them. Saying オッケーです with a smile is not necessarily a bad word choice.
Another possibility is that he just tried to speak in easy Japanese. We all know keigo is difficult. Depending on how fluent you are, people may avoid using difficult keigo like 承知致しました even in a business setting.
A:
It is not overly formal, but it is not impolite. I'd say it is on the friendly side. So unless there was some hint in the way they said it to indicate that they were disappointed, I'd not think twice about it. | stackexchange |
There are different known methods of growing monocrystalline silicon and releasing or transferring the grown wafer. Regardless of the methods, a low cost epitaxial silicon deposition process and a high-volume, production-worthy low cost method of release layer formation may be prerequisites for wider use of silicon solar cells.
Porous semiconductor (PS) formation is a fairly new field with an expanding application landscape. The viability of this technology in solar applications may hinge on the ability to industrialize the process to large scale (at low cost), requiring development of very low cost-of-ownership, high-productivity porous silicon manufacturing equipment.
PS has been used in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and related applications, where there is a higher tolerance for cost per unit area of the wafer than solar PV. The microelectronics industry achieves economy of scale through obtaining greater yield by increasing the number of die (or chips) per wafer, scaling the wafer size, and enhancing the chip functionality (or integration density) with each successive new product generation. In the solar industry, economy is achieved through the industrialization of solar cell and module manufacturing processes with low-cost, high-productivity equipment. Further economies are achieved through price reduction in raw materials through reduction of materials used per watt output of solar cells.
Some typical precursor chemistries for PS are: HF (49% in H2O typically), IPA (and/or acetic acid) and DI H2O. IPA (and/or acetic acid) serves as a surfactant and assists in the uniform creation of PS. Additional additives may be used to enhance the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte, thus reducing its heating through ohmic losses. Mixtures of HF and chemicals other than IPA can be readily employed by those skilled in the art.
In order to achieve the necessary economy for solar, process cost modeling is studied to identify and optimize equipment performance. Three categories of cost make up the total cost picture: fixed cost (FC), recurring cost (RC) and yield cost (YC). FC is made up of items such as equipment purchase price, installation cost and robotics or automation cost. RC is largely made up of electricity, gases, chemicals, operator salaries and maintenance technician support. YC may be interpreted as the total value of parts lost during production.
To achieve the cost-of-ownership (CoO) numbers required by the solar field, all aspects of the cost picture must be optimized. The qualities of a low cost process are ( | uspto_backgrounds |
United States v. Rybar, 103 F.3d 273 (3d Cir. 1996), is a case which was argued before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals on September 13, 1995, and decided on December 30, 1996. The appeal addressed the constitutionality of a provision of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 under the Commerce Clause and the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The case
Raymond Rybar, Jr., a federally licensed firearms dealer, had conditionally pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing an illegal machine gun under the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. He had possessed them at a gun show in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. The weapons in question were a Chinese Type 54 7.62-millimeter machine gun (see note below), and a U.S. Military M-3 .45 caliber submachine gun. Rybar was charged with four felonies, but only convicted of two. The other two counts were for failing to purchase a tax stamp (this is not registration) for the machine guns under the National Firearms Act of 1934 for firearms that can not be classified under 18 U.S.C. § 922o. A federal district court had previously ruled in United States v. Rock Island Armory, Inc. that a conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 922o would violate the fundamental fairness found in the Fifth Amendment. Rybar argued that these convictions violated his Second Amendment rights as well as the commerce clause of the United States Constitution.
The decision
The Third Circuit Court upheld his convictions 2-1. Authoring a notable dissenting opinion was from then-Judge Samuel Alito. Alito argued that the law under which Rybar had been convicted should be vacated, because Congress, in its lawmaking, had not made sufficient findings regarding the impact on interstate commerce clause to fully justify the court deferring to Congressional judgement that the law was authorized by the Commerce Clause. Rather than actually ruling that the law was unconstitutional, Alito asserted simply that Congress had not sufficiently justified it, allowing that, had Congress made sufficient findings, he would defer to those findings.

a. Add more air ventilation
The lack of air ventilation will lead to poor air distribution. For that reason, you need to open your window or your house to help improve air circulation in your house. It’s because if the air continues to settle into your house, it will lead to a humid condition and may bring many diseases.
b. Checks Radon in Your Home
Radon – considered as a risk factor for lung cancer – the substance could be in your own home, says the Mayo Clinic. It is a highly dangerous radioactive gas that is odorless and tasteless and is derived from the soil. The only way to know if your home has radon is to conduct a test which quick and easy and only takes a few minutes of your time. EPA provides a way of testing the substance in a short-term and long-term way. It’s to check the radon on their website.
Other than that, we also need to check the old asbestos material, like I said in my previous post here, asbestos is so dangerous and you need to ask some who offer the trusted services. Just for your info, if you live in Brisbane Australia, you can ask and read more about asbestos removal Brisbane in this site.
c. The smoke from cigarettes
The smoke from cigarettes causing odors and can lead to passive smokers at risk of suffering from various illnesses such as sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and worsen asthma symptoms. A cigarette will leave residue on the floors, carpets, sofas and cushions. Besides that, it will leave unpleasant scent. This condition can be harmful to children who often play in the area.
d. Gas and stove
The LPG gas and stoves can release carbon monoxide leak that can cause fatigue, headaches, nausea, and even death, while nitrogen dioxide can lead to respiratory problems. That’s why you need to ensuring your LPG gas and stoves installed correctly. It’s better to place the object near a window or air vent, as well as installing the fan so that the gas will not remain within your house.

We affirm the revocation of probation, and in so doing uphold the trial court's determination that the search by police was not improper.
The probation order here provided for warrantless searches of the probationer's residence without probable cause. Police received information from a confidential informant that the probationer was in possession of illegal drugs and a firearm. Because they had a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, they communicated with his probation officer, who agreed to set up a search of his residence with the participation of the police. They were conducting surveillance at his residence *579 immediately before the search. When the probation officer and investigating police arrived at his residence, he was already outside speaking to other police officers involved in the surveillance.
The officers on surveillance had seen him back his vehicle out of his driveway and park it on the street. As he walked back toward his house, the surveillance team saw the van begin rolling backwards until it rolled into an auto parked behind it. The surveillance team thereupon approached and began talking to him. The probation officer and investigating officer arrived on the scene just in time to observe these events. The police officer investigating the matter then informed defendant that they were there to conduct a search of his residence. Which they then did and found enough drugs to charge and convict for trafficking and a firearm to charge and convict for possession by a convicted felon.
Defendant's argument to the trial court and here is that all of this was a pretense for police officers to do an improper search of his residence without probable cause. But in Soca v. State, 673 So.2d 24 (Fla. 1996), the Florida Supreme Court held that the evidence obtained in a warrantless search of a probationer's residence by a probation supervisor, although tipped-off and accompanied by a police investigator, was admissible in a probation revocation hearing, even though it would not be admissible in the criminal case unless that search met all the usual constitutional search and seizure requirements. 673 So.2d at 25.

The ability of cells to form defined shapes, and to dynamically regenerate their cytoskeletal and membrane structures following damage, is one of the current mysteries of cell biology. In addition to being a fundamental cell biological problem, understanding development and regeneration of cellular morphology would be a starting point towards developing a whole new approach to regenerative medicine, in which rather than attempting to replace damaged cells with stem cell derived substitutes, one would induce the damaged cells to regenerate in situ.

For uniform heating of the layer, the NMR probe head in accordance with the invention is preferably provided with a heating means.
In a preferred further development, the heating means comprises a device for irradiating the layer with radiation in a wavelength range of 100 nmxe2x89xa6xcexxe2x89xa6100 xcexcm, in particular with heat radiation, the device being preferably disposed on the side of the room temperature pipe facing the RF receiver coil system.
Many materials which can be used to construct the room temperature pipe already absorb in the desired wavelength range such that heating up using radiation does not require a special radiation-absorbing layer.
The radiation absorbing heating layer may surround the room temperature pipe over a large area. Alternatively, the layer may be disposed about the room temperature pipe in axially extending strips disposed at a separation from one another in the peripheral direction.
One further development is particularly preferred in which the layer is electrically conducting and can be heated through application of an electric voltage.
Alternatively or additionally, a further embodiment provides that the tempering means comprises one or more heating coils of thin, in particular layered, electrically good conducting material each comprising an outgoing and return conductor. The outgoing and return conductors of the heating coils are electrically connected to one another at one end and can be supplied with heating current from a current source at the other end.
In a particularly preferred manner, the outgoing and return conductors of the heating coils are disposed bifilarly at as small a separation from one another as possible to minimize generation of a disturbing magnetic field during current flow.
In this connection, it is advantageous if the outgoing and return conductors of the heating coils consist of two longitudinal strips disposed one on top of the other which are electrically insulated from one another by an insulation layer or insulation strip.
A further development is particularly preferred with which the outgoing and return conductors of the heating coils are made from materials having different magnetic susceptibilities and which are selected such that each overall heating coil is magnetically compensated towards the outside.
The tempering means can be geometrically designed such that one or more heating coils are disposed in a spiral fashion about the room temperature pipe.
As an alternative, it is also possible to dispose several, preferably at least 8, heating coils at a separation from one another in the peripheral direction about the z axis of the room temperature pipe, which extend parallel to the z direction.
Advantageously, the heating coils are spatially oriented such that they are minimally coupled to the RF receiver coil system.

Li Xiuqin (; born November 23, 1953) is a Chinese contemporary sculptor, professor, and the co-director of the 4th Studio of Sculpture Department of China Academy of Art (CAA), Hangzhou. She lives and works in Hangzhou, China.
Biography
Li Xiuqin was born in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. In 1982, she received her bachelor's degree from the Sculpture Department, Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou (now the China Academy of Art, CAA). She began to work in CAA as a teacher in sculpting after graduation. From 1988 to 1991, she researched at Slade School of Fine Art, UK and studied for her master's degree in the Sculpture Department, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK on scholarship from UK Cultural Exchange Committee.
Early life
In 1985, not satisfied with the way of clay modeling at CAA, Li went to a small metal factory in Hangzhou to find the material and welder to make several metal welding sculptures. With her sculptures, she participated in The First Teacher Exhibition in the Sculpture Department in CAA, which enlarged her vision for metal materials. Assisted by her husband Guo Lianxun, Li started to work in a bigger metal factory to produce more metal welding works. The work produced in this period brought her the chance to study in UK.
Major works
Sense of Touch - Concave-convex series
Li's best-known works were shown in her first solo exhibition the Sense of Touch - Concave-convex in CAA Art Space, Hangzhou, China in 1993. The inspiration for the works in this exhibition is from when she got rheumatic fever a research team in the northeast part of China，which almost cost her eyesight. Li began to study braille at that time. Due to her experience, her artistic thinking began to focus on the blind people and the process and way of the perception of braille. Her artistic practice is from amplifying, deconstructing and remodeling the elements in the braille. 15 works with the common element of braille made of materials such as stone, iron, bronze, and plaster were included. Blind kids were invited to touch the works and experience this exhibition.
In 2013, she held another exhibition titled 20 years - Sense of Touch - Concave-convex at CAA Art Space, Hangzhou and invited the | wikipedia_en |
$[\mathrm{BGN}]$ Let $U$ be an open set of the (2k+1)-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2k+1}$, let $K\subset U$ be a connected (2k+1)-submanifold with boundary of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2k+1}$ and let $\vec{v}$ be an unit vector field on $U$ which coincides with a Hopf flow H along the boundary of $K$. Then $$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{vol}(\vec{v})\!\!\!&\geq&\!\!\!\frac{4^{k}}{{2k \choose k}}\mathrm{vol}(K)
\\
\\
\mathcal{E}(\vec{v})\!\!\!&\geq&\!\!\!(\frac{2k+1}{2}+\frac{k}{2k-1})\mathrm{vol}(K)\end{aligned}$$
If $k=1$ we obtain that $\mathrm{vol}(\vec{v})\geq 2\mathrm{vol}(K)$, the volume of the Hopf vector field. In the proof of Theorem 1.2 was used the following important map $\varphi_{t}^{\vec{v}}:\mathbb{S}^{2k+1}\longrightarrow \mathbb{S}^{2k+1}(\sqrt{1+t^{2}})$ given by $\varphi_{t}^{\vec{v}}(x)=x+t\vec{v}(x)$ which was first used in the Milnor’s paper \[M\].\
\
In this work we continue to study the volume and energy of vector fields defined on submanifolds with boundary $K\subset \mathbb{S}^{3}$. In order to find similar results, we say that an unit vector field $\vec{v}$ satisfies the “proportional volume property" if the following inequality hold for some $t>0$ $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{\mathrm{vol}(\varphi_{t}^{\vec{v}}(K))}{\mathrm{vol}(\mathbb{S}^{3}(\sqrt{1+t^{2}}))}\geq\frac{\mathrm{vol}(K)}{\mathrm{vol}(\mathbb{S}^{3})}\end{aligned}$$ This condition is obviously equivalent to $$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{vol}(\varphi_{t}^{\vec{v}}(K))\geq\mathrm{vol}(K)(1+t^{2})^{3/2}\end | arxiv |

SEC: Vandy making waves; LSU also paid Lyles
I guess we should stop rolling our eyes now. The events of last week prove that there is much, much more to James Franklin than a firm handshake and effervescent personality. He not only talks a good game; he also recruits a good game.
SEC commissioner Mike Slive indicated there wasn’t so much as a whisper about expansion at the conference’s spring meetings last month. I get sad just thinking about it. I’ve been following the SEC long enough to qualify as a traditionalist, but I’m also a realist. The nation’s best conference could become even better – and wealthier – by expanding. And its tradition wouldn’t have to be destroyed in the process.
But enjoying a chuckle at Oregon’s expense may be whistling past a graveyard. LSU also paid Lyles $6,000 for recruiting services. While this is not to imply that LSU is guilty of any wrongdoing along the lines of what happened at Oregon, at the very least Lyles is one of the last people whose name you want associated with your program.
Tonya Bray, the mother of Auburn freshman football player Quan Bray, was shot and killed Sunday morning in LaGrange, Ga., police said. Jeff Jones, who is listed as Quan’s father in his official Auburn biography, turned himself in to police about an hour after the shooting.
Cheek hasn’t been around long enough for anyone to get a firm read on him – except, perhaps, Hill – since he didn’t arrive from the University of Florida until 2008. But that also means he was on board for Fulmer’s messy departure, the unsatisfying hire of Lane Kiffin and, most recently, the Bruce Pearl debacle, which had Cheek’s fingerprints all over it.
The rush to join Twitter, Facebook and other social media websites could possibly include trampling on First Amendment rights. That’s why most college coaches and administrators proceed cautiously in setting boundaries – if any – as their athletes join in the very public conversation.
Auburn now moves back to Plan A in looking for a new quarterback. Plan B was the possibility that former North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson would join the Tigers, bringing his three seasons of college experience and 76 passing touchdowns with him.

The district court, entertaining a petition for review, affirmed the referee's order.
16
The referee made findings of fact left undisturbed by the trial court on its review. These are amply supported by the record and are not clearly erroneous. They fully support the conclusions reached by the referee and sustained by the district court. In Re Rafdo Enterprises, Inc., 7 Cir., 297 F.2d 505, 507 (1962).
17
It is clear to us, as it was to the referee and the district court, that respondent Bank of Lincolnwood is a bona fide mortgagee and that it disbursed its loan in reliance upon the record title in good faith and upon the written direction of and for the sole benefit of petitioners.
18
It is apparent that by the guaranty, the disbursement certificate, the direction to Lawndale Bank to execute the trust deed, all signed by petitioners, and by accepting the benefits of the loan and making payments thereon, petitioners ratified the entire transaction under scrutiny and are estopped to deny the validity of the trust deed. See Hilton v. Meier, 257 Ill. 500, 100 N.E. 962 (1913); Loughran v. Gorman, 256 Ill. 46, 99 N.E. 886 (1912).
19
We find no merit in the contention that petitioners' waiver of homestead was limited to and effective only for their deed in trust to Lawndale Bank.
20
Finding no error, the order of the district court appealed from is affirmed.
21
Affirmed.

I've been extremely lucky to secure a paid summer internship this summer fresh out of my freshman year of college in a very exciting technical field.<p>I've been doing penetration testing and tool development for a startup information security company. They didn't have any internships listed only higher-level job postings. Encouraged by a mentor, I sent over my resume anyway with a cover letter indicating that I was seeking an internship. Needless to say, I got the internship. It's three months later, I have been given responsibilities on an equal footing as some of my much senior coworkers.<p>They initially offered me a job at the end of the summer asking if I wanted to "take a semester off", but I knew if I left college now i'd likely never go back. Instead they are offering me a telecommuting position.<p>I've been earning a bit above minimum wage, and this summer has been an awesome experience I wouldn't trade for anything, but how much is reasonable compensation for someone with a <i>LOT</i> to learn (c'mon I'm a rising sophomore), yet still creating immense value for a company? I've had the privilege of leading security audits for Fortune 500 companies who were later <i>very</i> satisfied with my analysis --- this was all closely supervised work and independently reviewed. My coworkers treat me as a peer, and my supervisor is very pleased with the quality of my work.<p>How much is "reasonable compensation" for a part-time telecommuting college student who's staying on after interning?

Use this as a negotiation exercise.
If you do, first things first. Know your best alternative to a negotiated
agreement (BATNA). Try to factor in the opportunity cost, i.e. what else you
can be doing with your time if you do not take the job.
With that in hand, accept any offer higher than the BATNA. Reject any offers
below the BATNA. Either way you are best off.
Of course it is easier said than done ...

An animal model of human syphilis has been developed, where inbred Syrian hamsters infected with Treponema pallidum develop lesions like "hard chancre" at the site of inoculation (inguinal area) which eventually heal, then animals develop oral ulcers corresponding to mucosal lesions of human secondary syphilis. The proposed research will examine the underlying cellular mechanisms of immunosuppression associated with acute and chronic syphilitic infection.

Inflammatory joint diseases exhibit distinct pathohistological and immunological characteristics. The studies performed demonstrated that in comparison to normal controls peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presented an increased percentage of monocytic cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with RA produced significantly increased amounts of prostaglandin E2 and significantly decreased amounts of interferon-gamma following mitogen stimulation with LPS or PWM respectively. The spontaneous production of interleukin 1 was found to be elevated. A significantly increased LPS induced production of | pubmed_abstracts |
So far, most studies on ribosomal protein-p53 signaling have been carried out in U2OS cells and it remains unclear if, or to what extent, this regulatory mechanism operates in other cell types. We found that endogenous RPS9 could be efficiently silenced in U343MG and in U87MG glioma cells whereas no change in RPS9 expression was seen in U1242MG cells upon siRPS9 transfection ([Figure 4A](#pone-0009578-g004){ref-type="fig"}). Of note, is the already low level of RPS9 in untreated U1242MG cells. A clear reduction in the number of cells in cultures treated with siRPS9 relative to siCtrl treated cultures was seen for U87MG, U343MG, and U343MGa Cl2:6 cells but not for U1242MG ([Figure 4B](#pone-0009578-g004){ref-type="fig"}). As a further specificity control, we verified that the RPS9 siRNA oligonucleotide had no effect on mouse NIH3T3 cell proliferation whereas a mouse rps9 siRNA oligo efficiently inhibited the proliferation of these cells ([Figure S1C](#pone.0009578.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). To assess the effect of RPS9 knockdown on the synthesis of mature 28S and 18S rRNA we labeled knockdown and control U343MGa Cl2:6 cells with \[^3^H\]-uridine for 2 hours and examined the labeled and isolated rRNA following gel electrophoresis and blotting to a nylon membrane. We found that in RPS9 knockdown cultures very little mature 18S rRNA was produced during the labeling period ([Figure 4C](#pone-0009578-g004){ref-type="fig"}), however overall cellular RNA synthesis continued ([Figure 4D](#pone-0009578-g004){ref-type="fig"}). Actinomycin D (5 nM) efficiently blocked synthesis and labeling of rRNA ([Figure 4C and D](#pone-0009578-g004){ref-type="fig"}). In an experiment using \[^3^H\]-L-methyl methionine to label newly synthesized rRNA we found that the production of 18S rRNA was clearly impaired ([Figure 4E](#pone-0009578-g004){ref-type="fig"}). There was a marginal decrease in the new synthesis of 28S rRNA. Moreover, the depletion of RPS9 in U343MGa Cl2:6 cells decreased | pubmed_central |
