"Estradiol sensitization of rat pituitary cells to gonadotropin-releasing hormone: involvement of protein kinase C- and calcium-dependent signaling pathways.",
"\nDuring the female reproductive cycle, estrogen enhances the actions of GnRH on the gonadotrope cell. ",
"Recently, we reported that in vivo exposure to estradiol causes a marked enhancement GnRH-induced transcription of the alpha gene promoter in primary cultures of pituitary cells. ",
"In the present study, we analyzed the GnRH signaling pathways that mediate the sensitizing effects of estradiol on the alpha promoter. ",
"Primary cultures of male and female rat pituitary cells were transfected with the -420alphaLUC reporter gene and treated with agonists or antagonists for 24 h. As found previously, the degree of GnRH (1 nM) stimulation was 15-fold greater in females (157-fold) than in males (9-fold). ",
"When cells were treated with phorbol esters [phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA); 10 nM], the level of stimulation was half that observed with GnRH, but the sexual dimorphism was preserved. ",
"When protein kinase C (PKC) activity was either depleted by long term treatment with phorbol esters (1 microM PMA for 24 h) or inhibited with staurosporine, the stimulatory effect of GnRH was minimally affected in males, but was markedly reduced in females. ",
"The reduced threshold of GnRH responsiveness after inhibition of PKC suggests that the actions of estrogen involve this pathway. ",
"Coexpression of c-jun and c-fos, which are increased by GnRH and PMA, suppressed basal alphaLUC activity, but did not alter the sensitivity to GnRH in a sexually dimorphic manner. ",
"Dominant negative mutants of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, which is also activated by GnRH and PMA, failed to reveal sexually dimorphic alterations in GnRH responsiveness. ",
"These findings indicate that the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and activating protein-1 are probably not involved in estrogen sensitization of transcriptional responses to GnRH. ",
"The involvement of Ca2+-dependent pathways was analyzed either by chelating extracellular Ca2+ with EGTA (5 mM) or by using a Ca2+ channel blocker, methoxyverapamil (D600; 1 microM). ",
"Depletion of extracellular Ca2+ markedly reduced GnRH action in females, but not in males. ",
"Treatment with the Ca2+ channel blocker D600 did not alter GnRH-induced stimulation of -420alphaLUC in males, but in females, GnRH stimulation was significantly impaired (208- vs. 23-fold). ",
"Estrogen replacement in ovariectomized females reconstituted GnRH sensitivity and the inhibitory effect of methoxyverapamil (84- vs. 13-fold). ",
"We conclude that both PKC- and Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways are involved in estradiol-induced sensitization of female pituitary cells to GnRH."

"Significance of gastrectomy as palliative surgery for gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis.",
"\nWe conducted a clinicopathological study of cases of gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis and examined treatment outcomes and the prognosis of cases of stage IV gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis and the validity of gastrectomy as palliative surgery in these cases. ",
"The outcomes of 49 surgeries for gastric carcinoma with pyloric stenosis were compared with those of 671 surgeries for gastric carcinoma without pyloric stenosis. ",
"The diagnosis of pyloric stenosis was confirmed with both upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and an upper gastrointestinal barium series. ",
"The frequency of pyloric stenosis in patients with gastric carcinoma was 7.3%. ",
"Serosal invasion was observed in about 70% of all cases. ",
"Of these cases, 53.1% were classified as stage IV. ",
"The resection rate was 73.5%, and the resection was classified as curative in 44.9% of cases. ",
"The incidence of complications after surgery in cases of stage IV gastric carcinoma was 47.1%. ",
"The median survival time was significantly greater in patients undergoing resection group than in those not undergoing resection (p=0.025). ",
"Most patients with gastric cancer and pyloric stenosis can be considered to have stage IV disease, which is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality; thus, prevention of complications, and therefore, avoidance of gastrectomy is recommended in such patients. ",
"Nonetheless, in this study, gastrectomy was shown to improve prognoses in these patients."

"Intramuscular botulinum toxin prior to comprehensive rehabilitation has no added value for improving motor impairments, gait kinematics and goal attainment in walking children with spastic cerebral palsy.",
"\nBotulinum toxin (BoNT-A) is widely used in combined treatment for spastic cerebral palsy, but its added value preceding comprehensive rehabilitation for motor impairments, gait, and goal attainment has not been studied. ",
"A comparative multi-centre trial, in which two groups underwent comprehensive rehabilitation (i.e. high-intensive functional physiotherapy, and indicated casting/orthoses). ",
"One group received intramuscular BoNT-A prior to rehabilitation, and the other group did not receive BoNT-A. Children with spastic cerebral palsy, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III, age range 4-12 years, indicated for BoNT-A treatment regarding mobility problems. ",
"Sixty-five children participated (37 boys), mean age 7.3 years (standard deviation (SD) 2.3, range 4-12 years), equally distributed across GMFCS levels. ",
"Forty-one children received BoNT-A+ comprehensive rehabilitation and 24 received comprehensive rehabilitation only. ",
"Functional leg muscle strength, passive range of motion, angle of catch, cerebral palsy-related pain, walking speed, kinematic gait parameters, goal attainment, and proxy-reported general functioning were assessed at baseline, primary end-point (12 weeks) and 24-week follow-up. ",
"Statistical analyses were performed with linear mixed models. ",
"At the primary end-point there were no statistically significant differences in treatment effects between the groups, except for the angle-of-catch of the rectus femoris, which was in favour of comprehensive rehabilitation without BoNT-A (12° difference, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2:23, p = 0.025). ",
"Results at follow-up were similar. ",
"At the group level, treating with BoNT-A prior to comprehensive rehabilitation did not add to the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation. ",
"Thus, BoNT-A prescription and use should be critically reconsidered in this cerebral palsy age- and GMFCS-subgroup."

"This invention concerns in general a headset having different adjustment features. ",
"In particular the invention enables a user to make an adjustment of the location of each cup separately relatively to the headband and each ear of the user. ",
"Thereby the invention enables the user to choose a most comfortable location of the ear cups for the user, after wearing the headset on the head of the user. ",
"In the same time the invention enables the user to make adjustment of the pressure exerted by the ear cups on the user's head.",
"\nThe invention is provided with coupling means for rotatively coupling the ear cups to the headband and securement means which provide effective fixing the ear cups in a chosen location.",
"\nThe use of headsets with adjusting of some parameters has long been known.",
"\nIn general, conventional headsets comprises headbands, which support ear cups usually constitute a C-clamp type device, comprising a spring, the tension of which applies pressure to the head of the user so as to hold the headset on the users head. ",
"This spring tension is usually somewhat adjustable by flexing the elements which comprises the headband.",
"\nA general problem of such headset is that a user experiences difficultly in choosing the most comfortable location of the ear cups and in precisely adjusting the amount of tension of the headset gripping his head. ",
"Often a user is painfully aware of such limitations of a conventional headset in that the pressure exerted on this head by the headset in too great or too little to be satisfactory. ",
"If the pressure is too great, discomfort, lack of concentration and even headaches may be caused.",
"\nHowever, if a user attempts to loosen the headset to relieve such excessive pressure, and only a coarse adjustment is present, the user is likely to decrease the pressure to the point where slippage of the headset can occur. ",
"It is possible for such slippage to cause loss of communication if the ear cup becomes separated from the user's ear.",
"\nAccordingly, there has been a long felt need for headsets which can be mass manufactured, but yet easily adjusted to fit an individual user, taking into account both the physical dimensions and personal tastes of those wearing such headsets.",
"\nSome attempts at solving this problem are known. ",
"For example, the U.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",
"3,636,279 to Turner disclosed an headset of adjustable size including a pair of headphones each having a pair of parallel tracks formed therein and receiving a pair of electrical conductors associated with a headband assembly adjustable connecting the headphones. ",
"Such headset enables only the adjustment of the location of the headphones upwardly and downwardly respectively to the ears of user. ",
"However, there is no change in the headband pressure on the user's head and there is no change in the axial distance between the headphones.",
"\nThe U.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",
"4,189,788 to Schenke disclosed a headset comprises a headband and ear pieces. ",
"Each ear piece is supported to the headband by means of support member having a wedge shaped opening therein. ",
"A wedge is positioned within the support member opening and the headband is secured to the wedge. ",
"The wedge resiliently urges a fork attached to the ear piece against the support member thereby providing a slideable, frictional engagement. ",
"Such headset enables up and downwardly adjustment of the location of the ear pieces, but there are no means for adjusting the headband pressure on the users head.",
"\nThe U.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",
"4,727,585 comprises a band for a headset for adjustably varying the tension intermediate the downwardly depending ends of a spring headband includes a longitudinally extending spring member having an arcuate shape and radius less than the intermediate portion of the headband, that is disposed in the top of the intermediate portion of the headband at one end, a tension adjusting slider is disposed around the headband and the spring member for the longitudinal movement so that the tension intermediate the lower ends of headband is varied as the slider is repositioned. ",
"There is no suggestion of simultaneous adjustment of the headband pressure on the users head and the adjustment of the location of the ear cups relative to the ears of the user.",
"\nU.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",
"4,783,822 to Cocoa, Charlson and Bussey discloses a multi-adjustable headband having separate coarse and fine adjustment of the axial distance between at least one ear piece element and a side support to vary the pressure exerted on the head of the user. ",
"However, there is no means for adjusting the upward and downward location of the ear piece element relative to the headband."

"More than just ‘clothes’, blue jeans have been central to virtually every youth subculture over the last 80 years. ",
"From greasers of the 1950s, hippies of the 1970s, punks of the 1980s, there are countless subculture styles that have worn jeans whilst resisting authority and defining cool. ",
"As culture changes and subcultures spring up, jeans have a way of changing with us, morphing into whatever we need at that moment.",
"\n\nThey’re simply one of the most versatile pieces of clothing ever created.",
"\n\nBut what is it about the style of these subcultures that has had such a defining impact on the contemporary culture of today? ",
"That’s what Greg Foley and co-author Andrew Luecke asked themselves a couple years ago when they started working on their book Cool: Style, Sound and Subversion. ",
"The 272-page illustrated guide is equal parts historical chronicle and handbook of the myriad subcultures, visually explaining the stylistic codes of each. ",
"Zeitgeist films, zines, art collectives, and over one hundred music playlists tied to specific subcultures through the years are featured.",
"\n\nWith denim being such a common thread, especially Levi’s® 501, it was only natural that Foley and Luecke reached out to the American jean giant to collaborate on the story. ",
"The result is a collection of illustrated postcards featuring 501s and all the coolest subcultures that wore them.",
"\n\nTo find out more about the project and denims defining style, WGSN spoke to the guys behind the book in an exclusive interview.",
"\n\nHow did the collaboration with Levi’s come about?",
"\n\nIn writing and producing the book, my coauthor, Greg Foley, and I realized Levi’s® 501s were consistent favorites among really influential subcultures of the past, and were important to edgier, newer subcultures, like punks in the 1970s and even grunge and Riot Grrrl in the 1990s. ",
"With that information in mind, we reached out to Levi’s® and asked if they’d be interesting in collaborating with us on a series of postcards featuring 501s and all the coolest subcultures that wore them. ",
"We agreed on a series of ten postcards with art from the book on the front and little factual blurbs on the back. ",
"It’s amazing to explore how so many different groups wore Levi’s® 501®s differently. ",
"The printed postcards turned out great, too. ",
"They’re great quality, with really vivid colors on thick card stock.",
"\n\nIf you look at big cultural moments like youthquake, summer of love and moments like the fall of the Berlin Wall, Levi’s® have always been present, worn by the youth. ",
"What is it about the appeal of denim that has kept it a cornerstone for subcultural uniforms throughout the eras?",
"\n\nIf you go back far enough, Levi’s® was there for what was essentially the American founding of California. ",
"That’s not a “youth” moment per se, but with the symbolism of California, the idea of ‘Fun in the Sun’ – surfing, skating, and hippies, it’s clear that even that is part of the story. ",
"I think they made their first 501s® in the 1890s. ",
"As workwear, Levi’s® were always a symbol that one wasn’t participating in upper class, white collar culture, which later became known as ‘The Establishment’. ",
"Sure, for farmers or carpenters, that might not have been a choice, but once the Beat writers started wearing Levi’s® in the 1940s it was partially to show that they were opting out of the established culture and power structures in the West. ",
"Secondly, the jeans wear tough and look great – they were anti-establishment and they were functional. ",
"Same for the hippies, who spent time sleeping rough or travelling. ",
"In that way, they just look and feel like freedom.",
"\n\nOver the years, each subculture has re-appropriated denim in terms of silhouettes, customization, and attitude. ",
"What are some of your favourite ways these style movements have adopted denim and changed the conversation on jeanswear style?",
"\n\nFirst, you see the Mods in the 1960s. ",
"There’s that famous Mod thing of wearing your shrink-to-fit Levi’s® in the bathtub and then out in the sun so they’ll dry perfectly fitted to your body. ",
"So that ultra slim look is theirs, and it’s so sharp and influential. ",
"No one wore denim quite as sharply as the Mods, and that really opened doors for the way people wear denim now. ",
"Then, you’ve got to look to hip hop in the early ’90s and how that culture pioneered wearing baggy jeans. ",
"No one had done that before, and it’s just another example of how hip-hop remixed style to make it its own, just like it did with music. ",
"With that push, you see hip hop companies like Karl Kani emerge to make baggy jeans, which also hadn’t been done before. ",
"Of course, skaters and ravers took inspiration here and ran with it, eventually wearing truly huge jeans. ",
"We definitely feature late ’80s and early ’90s hip-hop style on one of our COOL 501®s postcards.",
"\n\nSounds and music is a big part of the conversation in the book. ",
"How has music and the personalities in each scene influenced denim style?",
"\n\nWell, as I said, with the greasers and Mods, they really influenced rock and roll style. ",
"But then you have other really interesting stuff too, like grunge. ",
"The way Kurt Cobain wore jeans was amazing. ",
"It was totally his own ripped up, broken down style, but it resonates today. ",
"People love it.",
"\n\nIt’s interesting to see how denim style has been borrowed and evolved throughout these subcultural groups. ",
"Andrew, we’ve had conversations on the Ramones style and how they created their look of cropped tees and slimmer jeans from New York City male hustlers. ",
"Can you elaborate on this?",
"\n\nYes, that’s true. ",
"The Ramones’ signature white T-shirts, tight Levi’s® 501s®, Schott Perfecto leather jackets, and Kids sneakers were the uniform of New York City male hustlers in the late ’60s and early ’70s. ",
"It’s very similar to the classic ’50s greaser and biker looks, similar to what Marlon Brando wore in The Wild One. ",
"That look, and that movie in particular, really influenced the gay leatherman scene and gay fashion in general. ",
"Also, sometimes The Ramones would even wear cropped T-shirts, which I thought looked goofy when I was a kid, but now I think it’s part of that hustler style, looking sexually appealing. ",
"Gay leathermen and punks are both part of our set of COOL 501®s postcards.",
"\n\nOn the topic of those more lesser-known subcultural groups like gay leathermen and Congolese Bills. ",
"Can you give us a rundown on the denim style of these style groups?",
"\n\nCertainly. ",
"With the gay leatherman thing, that style came right out of biker and greaser culture, and so if they weren’t wearing leather pants, they were wearing Levi’s® 501®s. There’s even a ‘rules’ sign from a ’70’s New York leather bar we came across doing research for COOL. ",
"Some of those rules are a dress code and it says, like, “No trousers, no suit pants, Levi’s® only,” which is amazing. ",
"With the Bills, they were there in the Belgian Congo in the late ’50s dressing like cowboys. ",
"It wasn’t easy to get cowboy gear in the Congo then, so they made their own stuff or had relatives send it in from Paris, where Levi’s® 501®s were first available around 1959. ",
"That kind of globalism mixed with DIY style is really prescient.",
"\n\nIn the book, you detail some of the sartorial codes that denim spoke to amongst subcultural groups – like gay community with handkerchief code. ",
"Was there anything else interesting like this that you discovered in your research? ",
"How have people used denim as a way to communicate?",
"\n\nSure, with Biker colors, those go on denim vests. ",
"There are certain rules in biker culture about what the top rocker (or top text) says, what the patch in the middle says, and what state or territory the bottom rocker (or bottom text claims). ",
"Those rules are really important in that subculture, and even though we don’t advocate it, people have spilled blood to enforce them.",
"\n\nWith denim’s deep and wide history amongst these subcultural groups its unsurprising that todays designers find endless design inspiration and reference. ",
"Are there any particular subcultural groups that ring true on todays catwalks or amongst youth of today?",
"\n\nI mean, the recent one is skaters, who like I said, took hip-hop bagginess and really ran with it. ",
"Beyond that though, it was also skaters who brought back the high-waisted, cropped denim thing that’s been so popular for the past few years. ",
"In a couple years, I’m sure Hedi Slimane’s early 2000’s punk, ultra-tight skinny jeans thing will come back. ",
"It never really left for women, but for men, it did, but I’m sure it’s on its way back in the next five or so years.",
"\n\nWho are some of your favorite denim icons and why?",
"\n\nWell, Kurt Cobain is amazing. ",
"And there’s certainly a drawing on our grunge postcard for Levi’s® that’s inspired by Kurt Cobain. ",
"Sid Vicious too, who took that Ramones skinny Levi’s® 501®s style and made it even more filthy and rude in a really irresistible way. ",
"Those two for sure.",
"\n\n… maybe not on the catwalks, but I’ll admit I stay more focused on what’s happening in the streets 😉\n\nThomas Stege Bojer\n\nJun 02nd, 2018\n\n“In a couple years, I’m sure Hedi Slimane’s early 2000’s punk, ultra-tight skinny jeans thing will come back. ",
"It never really left for women, but for men, it did” – hmm, I’m still seeing guys in really tight jeans. ",
"Even tighter that the early 2000s’ Diors."

"“A U.S. E-6B Doomsday Plane is using ‘Trump’ as radio callsign while flying over central U.S. right now” blared the headline on a Flipboard Magazine story in early March.",
"\n\nAt the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, a group of reporters for the Quartz website put together an ADS-B receiver and tracked all the helicopter traffic flying to and from the conference, then reported what they discovered.",
"\n\nAircraft for which blocking of position data has been requested are regularly seen on the ADS-B Exchange website, which does not comply with blocking agreements that are supposed to protect blocked aircraft information. “",
"This cannot possibly be called ‘progress,’” wrote a commenter on a popular business aviation forum earlier this year, frustrated that his own airplane can easily be tracked despite his participation in the FAA’s blocking program.",
"\n\n“Currently, several sources of crowd-sourced flight-tracking information are making business aircraft movements extremely easy to track by reading the mode-S transponder code,” NBAA noted in a survey that it sent to members on March 16. ",
"The one-question survey asked members to comment on how often they would be willing to change the hexadecimal code on mode-S transponders in their aircraft to prevent such simple tracking of their movements.",
"\n\nThe latest Senate bill on FAA reauthorization includes language that would attempt to fix the blocking dilemma. ",
"The new legislation, according to NBAA, “ensures the real-time location of general aviation aircraft is not disseminated or displayed, protecting the privacy and security of flight information.”",
"\n\nBlocking of information about aircraft flying in U.S. national airspace has become difficult, despite the FAA’s current blocking program. ",
"This program, which replaced the previous Block Aircraft Registration Request (Barr) system, relies on flight-tracking providers’ agreeing to block information at operators’ requests in exchange for being able to tap into the FAA’s Aircraft Situation Display to Industry (ASDI) data feed.",
"\n\nThe problem with blocking is that simple sub-$100 hobbyist receivers can detect position, speed and identification information by receiving broadcasts from mode-S transponders and ADS-B out transmitters. ",
"None of this information is in any way encrypted, and hobbyists can share the information gathered on their receivers to create a network of flight-tracking information. ",
"Flight-tracking companies can also use information from receivers, as does FlightAware with its PiAware receiver and Passur with its own receiver network, but FlightAware, Passur, FlightRadar24 and others participate in the agreement to withhold information on blocked aircraft.",
"\n\nNot so ADS-B Exchange. ",
"This website was put up by pilot Dan Streufert last year. “",
"This is really just a hobby,” he told AIN. “",
"I got interested in aircraft tracking with PiAware and found that I could expand on that. ",
"I threw the site up for the heck of it.”",
"\n\nIn Streufert’s opinion, there is little that can be done to protect the information that aircraft are broadcasting about their position. “",
"The information is being broadcast in the clear over the air,” he said. “",
"Any sense of security that operators may have had is an illusion. ",
"If you have a mode-S transponder, you can be tracked. ",
"ADS-B makes it a bit easier. ",
"The information is already out there, just spend $100 on Amazon to buy the parts and you can receive it. ",
"If the bad guys want the information, it’s already out there. ",
"We’re not making anything that is not already there. ",
"Maybe it will draw attention [to this situation]. ",
"Even military aircraft are trackable on mode-S. There are a ton of military aircraft on the site, including Air Force One, U-2s, and they’re perfectly trackable.”",
"\n\nSecurity Concerns and Protecting Information\n\nThe business pilot who complained about being unable to block his airplane on ADS-B Exchange is worried about the security implications of someone with ill intent tracking his airplane and others. ",
"He asked not to be identified for this article, and AIN agreed to withhold any information that might identify him. ",
"He also believes the unblocked information could be used by businesses tracking competitors’ activities, to thwart, say, the purchase of one company by another. “",
"There is an [airplane] at my airport in the [unidentified] business, and it goes to a place in [another state]. ",
"They’re only going for one reason: there is a store for sale and they want to buy it. [",
"Now] it’s simple for the competitors to go and see what’s for sale,” he explained.",
"\n\nThere are efforts under way to prevent identifying aircraft from airborne transponder and ADS-B broadcasts, possibly encrypting those signals, and to enact laws regarding the dissemination of such information.",
"\n\nSection 609 of a House FAA reauthorization–which failed to make it through Congress, likely because of its ATC privatization focus–included language that would require the FAA to block aircraft upon request. ",
"S.2658, which was approved by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation on March 16, eliminates the privatized ATC proposal and essentially replicates Section 609 of the House bill with a “Right to Privacy When Using Air Traffic Control System” amendment proposed by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska): “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal Aviation Administration shall, upon request of a private aircraft owner or operator, block the registration number of the aircraft of the owner or operator from any public dissemination or display, except in data made available to a Government agency, for the noncommercial flights of the owner or operator.”",
"\n\nThis appears to address concerns about blocking registration information, but receivers could still detect mode-S transponder or ADS-B out signals and, presumably, view the real-time position of even blocked aircraft, in contrast to NBAA’s wording in its survey question. ",
"The bill’s language also doesn’t cover blocking of military or commercial aircraft.",
"\n\nNBAA says it is aware of the concerns of its members and is working on several avenues to provide relief to operators that don’t want their aircraft to be so easily trackable. ",
"Part of this includes the survey that the association sent on March 16, but there are other efforts under way as well.",
"\n\nAt a December 2015 meeting of the industry Equip 2020 group, according to Jens Hennig, vice president of operations for the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the FAA explained how dynamic allocation of 24-bit addresses could work. ",
"Currently these addresses are listed on the FAA registry for each mode-S-equipped aircraft and also a database for RVSM-equipped aircraft and enable flight-tracking services to look up that information. ",
"Changing to an address not linked to the registry would essentially make a tracked aircraft unidentifiable, except by a spotter positioned near an airport using a pair of binoculars, a zoom lens or the naked eye to view registration numbers.",
"\n\nAt the meeting, the FAA asked NBAA to develop a concept of operations for how dynamic allocation would work for its members, including, Hennig explained, how many operators would use it, how often the addresses would be changed and the number of aircraft that would be affected. ",
"The FAA also wants to know whether transponders would need to be altered to allow dynamic allocation. “",
"Can the address change be made through a menu setup or do we need to add a capability?”",
"\n\nA better way to block could be encrypting the 24-bit address, which would eliminate the need to change it. ",
"The FAA has asked the RTCA Program Management Committee to see if this would be feasible and practical, according to Hennig, although this would be a longer-term project."

"U.S. new home sales post largest drop in 16 months; jobless claims up\n\nWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sales of new U.S. single-family homes fell more than expected in December, recording their biggest drop in nearly 1-1/2 years, likely as the boost from the replacement of flood-damaged houses in parts of the South affected by hurricanes faded.",
"\n\nFILE PHOTO -- A real estate sign advertising a new home for sale is pictured in Vienna, Virginia, U.S. October 20, 2014. ",
"REUTERS/Larry Downing/File Photo\n\nOther data on Thursday showed the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits rose from a 45-year low last week. ",
"The jump in jobless claims was, however, less than expected, and the underlying trend remained consistent with a tight labor market that is helping to underpin demand for housing.",
"\n\n“We expect demand for single-family housing to remain robust, driven by job gains and the aging of the millennial generation into prime homebuying ages,” said Ben Ayers, senior economist at Nationwide in Columbus, Ohio.",
"\n\nThe Commerce Department said new home sales declined 9.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 625,000 units last month. ",
"The percentage decrease was the largest since August 2016. ",
"Unseasonably cold temperatures at the end of December probably also hurt sales.",
"\n\nEconomists polled by Reuters had forecast that new home sales, which account for 10.1 percent of the housing market, would tumble 7.9 percent to a pace of 679,000 units last month.",
"\n\nSales plunged 9.8 percent in the South last month after a 6.6 percent surge in November that was tied to rebuilding after the devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. ",
"They fell 10 percent in the Midwest and dropped 2.4 percent in the Northeast - both regions experienced unusually cold weather in late December. ",
"In the West, sales fell 9.5 percent.",
"\n\nPointing to underlying strength in the housing market, new home sales surged 14.1 percent from a year ago. ",
"They increased 8.3 percent in 2017 to 608,000 units, the highest level since 2007.",
"\n\nThe strong labor market, which is near full employment, has unleashed demand for housing that has not been matched by supply. ",
"As a result, house price inflation has outpaced wage growth, keeping some first-time home buyers out of the market. ",
"The median new house price rose 2.6 percent to a record $335,400 in December from a year ago.",
"\n\nWhile the stock of new homes on the market increased 3.9 percent in December to 295,000 units, more than an 8-1/2-year high, it remained below its peak of 572,000 units in July 2006.",
"\n\nAt December’s sales pace it would take 5.7 months to clear the supply of houses on the market, up from 4.9 months in November. ",
"A six-month supply is viewed as a healthy balance between supply and demand.",
"\n\nThe U.S. dollar .DXY was weaker against a basket of currencies after the data. ",
"Prices of U.S. Treasuries were trading mostly lower while U.S. stock indexes were largely flat.",
"\n\nTIGHT LABOR MARKET In a separate report on Thursday, the Labor Department said initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 17,000 to a seasonally adjusted 233,000 for the week ended Jan. 20. ",
"Claims fell to 216,000 in the prior week, the lowest level since January 1973.",
"\n\nEconomists had forecast claims rising to 240,000 in the latest week. ",
"Last week marked the 151st straight week that claims remained below the 300,000 threshold, which is associated with a strong labor market. ",
"That is the longest such stretch since 1970, when the labor market was much smaller.",
"\n\n“The song remains the same for tightness of the labor market - employers are extremely reluctant to fire current workers, which reflects not only the current positive business environment but also the difficulty in finding qualified replacements,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York.",
"\n\nLast week, the four-week moving average of initial claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, fell 3,500 to 240,000.",
"\n\nThe claims report also showed the number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid dropped 28,000 to 1.94 million in the week ended Jan. 13. ",
"The four-week moving average of the so-called continuing claims fell 3,500 to 1.92 million.",
"\n\nThe continuing claims data covered the week of the household survey from which January’s unemployment rate will be calculated. ",
"The four-week average of continuing claims slipped 1,750 between the December and January survey periods.",
"\n\nThat suggests little change in the unemployment rate this month. ",
"The jobless rate dropped seven-tenths of a percentage point to a 17-year low of 4.1 percent in 2017, and economists expect it to hit 3.5 percent by the end of this year, which could spur faster wage growth as companies compete for workers.",
"\n\nStrong wage inflation would in turn likely prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates a bit more aggressively than currently anticipated. ",
"The U.S. central bank has forecast three rate hikes this year. ",
"It increased borrowing costs three times in 2017.",
"\n\n“The Fed may have to pick up its game this year and raise rates four times, not just the three they have already forecast,” said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at MUFG in New York."

"Le ministre des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP), Pierre Dufour, a aboli la protection administrative dont jouissaient trois massifs au Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean pour favoriser la survie des caribous forestiers, une espèce menacée. ",
"C’est quelque 46 000 hectares de forêt qui seront livrés à l’industrie afin qu’elle procède à une coupe intensive.",
"\n\nLe MFFP a justifié sa décision en indiquant que le système de suivi — on se sert de colliers télémétriques pour localiser les cervidés — n’avait pas montré la présence de caribous dans ces secteurs. ",
"Or des scientifiques doutent des constats du ministère, d’autant plus que ce ne sont qu’une minorité des caribous qui sont munis de tels colliers et que ces bêtes se déplacent d’année en année. ",
"Le MFFP n’a pas fait la démonstration, qui s’appuierait sur une solide méthodologie scientifique, que les caribous ne fréquentent pas ces massifs ou qu’ils ne le feraient pas dans un avenir prochain si ces milieux propices à leur survie n’étaient pas détruits.",
"\n\nLa vraie justification, c’est que l’industrie a fait pression pour faire main basse sur ces forêts inexploitées et que le gouvernement caquiste, au nom de « la vitalité économique du Québec et de ses régions », a répondu favorablement à cette exigence. ",
"En campagne électorale en 2014, le chef libéral Philippe Couillard avait déclaré qu’il « ne sacrifiera[it] pas une job dans la forêt pour les caribous forestiers ». ",
"Le gouvernement Legault agit dans le même esprit.",
"\n\nIl y a près de 20 ans, le gouvernement fédéral a placé le caribou forestier sous la protection de la Loi sur les espèces en péril. ",
"Mais comme le cervidé se retrouve essentiellement sur des terres publiques au Québec, c’est à l’État québécois que revient la responsabilité de protéger l’espèce. ",
"En 2017, Environnement Canada avait conclu que le Québec, à l’instar des autres provinces, avait failli à sa responsabilité de protéger le caribou forestier.",
"\n\nLe gouvernement Couillard avait planché sur un plan de rétablissement de l’espèce. ",
"On visait à faire passer la population actuelle — entre 6000 et 8500 têtes, selon les évaluations — à 11 000 individus. ",
"Ce plan, qui devait conduire à l’élaboration d’une stratégie d’ensemble, n’avait jamais été approuvé par le Conseil des ministres.",
"\n\nEn avril 2019, le gouvernement Legault, par la voix de son ministre Pierre Dufour, a annoncé que l’élaboration de la stratégie était reportée en 2022 et sa mise en oeuvre, en 2023. ",
"Les consultations entourant cette stratégie impliqueront essentiellement l’industrie forestière et les communautés autochtones. ",
"Le ministre n’a pas fourni les raisons qui expliqueraient ce report.",
"\n\nLa décision de livrer les trois massifs à la coupe à blanc est donc prématurée. ",
"En l’absence de plan, on ne peut évaluer l’importance ou non de préserver ces forêts et comment elles pourraient compléter les aires protégées de plus grande ampleur dans le Nord québécois.",
"\n\nLe caribou forestier est une espèce particulièrement sensible aux perturbations causées par l’exploitation industrielle du territoire. ",
"Les chemins forestiers, par exemple, qui demeurent après le passage des abatteuses, constituent une menace à la survie de l’espèce parce qu’ils facilitent le déplacement des prédateurs, notamment le loup. ",
"Comme le rapportait La Presse la semaine dernière, dans Charlevoix, on abat davantage de loups dans le but de ralentir le déclin des populations de caribous. ",
"Or l’abattage des prédateurs est pratiqué en Gaspésie depuis des décennies sans que l’espèce cesse de péricliter. ",
"Pour les experts, la vraie solution consiste à conserver intactes des vieilles forêts, ces milieux propices à la vie du caribou, et à diminuer les perturbations dont est responsable l’industrie forestière.",
"\n\nLe problème, c’est que le MFFP poursuit des missions contradictoires, celle de favoriser l’industrie forestière et celle de préserver la biodiversité. ",
"Alors que le ministre Dufour évoque sa « volonté de trouver un juste équilibre », c’est l’industrie qui a le gros bout du bâton. ",
"Arbitraire, la dernière décision du ministre, qui devra nous dire qu’il n’est pas le simple pion de l’industrie, illustre une autre fois quels intérêts défend le ministère. ",
"Et comme nous l’avons déjà écrit, les caribous ne votent pas, contrairement aux travailleurs forestiers."

"Influence of Lewis and other blood group systems in kidney transplantation.",
"\nIn 167 first cadaver kidney recipients and their donors the blood groups ABO, Rhesus, Lewis, MN, Ss, P, Kell and Duffy were determined. ",
"The influence of incompatibility in each system as well as of simultaneous presence of several mismatches was analysed. ",
"Whereas one-year graft survival of Lewis-compatible grafts was 67 per cent (p = 0.02). ",
"The other blood groups showed no significant effect on graft outcome. ",
"Cumulative red cell incompatibilities, however, led to decreased survival rates. ",
"One-year graft survival in the group with greater than or equal to 4 incompatibilities was only 51 per cent versus 69 per cent in transplants with less than 4 incompatibilities (18% difference, p less than 0.01). ",
"When the Lewis system was excluded from analysis, the difference in survival rates was reduced to only six per cent. ",
"These data indicate that cumulative incompatibilities of red cell antigens have an unfavourable effect on graft survival. ",
"Of the different blood groups, the Lewis system is of major importance."

"Endothelial protein C receptor supports hematopoietic stem cell engraftment and expansion in Mpl-deficient mice.",
"\nThrombopoietin (Thpo)/myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene (Mpl) signaling controls hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and quiescence; however, how these 2 seemingly opposing functions are controlled is not well understood. ",
"By transplantation of lentiviral-transduced hematopoietic cells in the Mpl-deficient mouse model, we addressed whether known or predicted Thpo target genes were able to rescue the Mpl-deficient phenotype of the mice. ",
"Among the tested genes, we identified endothelial protein C receptor (Epcr) to expand HSCs with the long-term (LT)-HSC surface phenotype in Mpl-/- mice and to enable secondary transplantation of Mpl-deficient bone marrow (BM). ",
"Epcr-transduced Mpl-/- HSCs enter quiescence earlier after transplantation than control-transduced Mpl-/- cells, and upregulated expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-xL. Also, in the wild-type background, Epcr expression marked the engrafting population in the BM. ",
"Furthermore, Epcr expression in Mpl-/- hematopoiesis increased the number of megakaryocytes in the BM. ",
"In vitro Thpo supported the surface expression of Epcr on primary murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. ",
"With these data, we add new insights into Thpo-dependent influence on HSC engraftment after transplantation. ",
"This may be of use for the in vitro manipulation of HSCs, also in the context of gene therapy."

"Below, the acclaimed playwright, screenwriter, and director lists the novels he turns to for the pleasure of their dialogue.",
"\n\nOutlaws by George V. Higgins (Vintage, $10 as an e-book).",
"\n\nGreat dialogue — in novels, drama, on the street corner, or at the barbershop — adheres to our consciousness and shapes our understanding of the world. ",
"If you appreciate great dialogue, read some of George Higgins' novels. ",
"He was a 1970s state and federal prosecutor before he became a Homeric chronicler-inventor of the language of the cops, crooks, and shysters of Boston.",
"\n\nTrue Grit by Charles Portis (Overlook, $16).",
"\n\nThe dialogue in True Grit is exquisite. ",
"Portis was inspired, I believe, by the work of Andy Adams (1859–1935), an actual cowpuncher, who wrote the best fiction of the frontier. ",
"Read Adams' The Log of a Cowboy and A Texas Matchmaker, both novels of the trail drive, for a visit to Reconstruction Texas.",

"He prefaces his utterances with an Ionian-accented \"Weck up to thees!\" — ",
"meaning \"Wake up to this!\" — ",
"to my taste, the literary equivalent of a chocolate truffle. ",
"I once asked Mr. Pressfield how he became so knowledgeable about the procedures and dialogue of the armies of antiquity, and he said that he'd put himself in their shoes and just made it up."

"Robert Redford Picked the Wrong Week to Quit Sniffing Glue\n\nIn 2001, when it was announced that Will Smith would be playing Muhammad Ali in a film directed by Michael Mann, this seemed like perfect casting. ",
"If anybody could portray Ali, it was the equally charismatic Smith, then at the peak of his career. ",
"Unfortunately, this was a case of the right actor in the wrong movie, at the wrong time. ",
"The film was released in late 2001, after 9/11, and after American troops first rolled into Afghanistan. ",
"As John Podhoretz wrote in January of 2002, Mann wasn’t interested in Ali the superstar boxer who was made for television, he was interested in Ali’s radical politics during the Vietnam War, and the timing and the lugubrious, inert feel of what should have an exercise in kinetic filmmaking sunk the movie at the box office:\n\nIt’s conceivable that the movie has failed because it’s a stiff. ",
"But moviegoers wouldn’t have known that in the first weekend of its release, and with Will Smith’s name above the title, it should have made at least $30 million. ",
"It made half that. ",
"Why?",
"\n\nSimple. ",
"Ali is a mostly worshipful movie about an American icon who converted to Islam — or rather, Elijah Muhammad’s bizarre riff on Islam — and then proceeded to dodge the draft while making speeches about how he had no argument with the people who were killing tens of thousands of young Americans in Southeast Asia.",
"\n\nYou can perhaps see how uncomfortable this story would make American audiences these days. ",
"In 1975, Ali himself starred in a fictionalized version of his own life called The Greatest. ",
"Ali was charming and funny in The Greatest in a warts-and-all portrait that showed him being a selfish jerk with at least one of his wives. ",
"What The Greatest did not do was turn Ali into a political icon.",
"\n\nA wise move. ",
"As a political icon, Muhammad Ali is as much of a dud as the movie about him.",
"\n\nA movie that dwelled on the comic aspects of his life — that would have used Will Smith’s own natural energy and likability to its utmost — might have been a triumph. ",
"But such a movie wouldn’t have satisfied Michael Mann’s hunger to Be Important.",
"\n\nMemo to Hollywood: Draft-dodging Muslims are out. ",
"A movie with a Muslim war hero — now that might make a fortune.",
"\n\nOf course, Hollywood would spend the next seven years doing its damnedest to destroy America’s morale in the wake of 9/11. ",
"This was partly because they hated Dubya, and as Daniel Henninger has written, for many on the left, their most intense day during that period wasn’t 9/11, but a year earlier, when Al Gore lost the recall election to GWB, partly because of the nostalgic left wanting to relive the glory days of their protests against LBJ, Nixon, and fighting communism in Vietnam.",
"\n\nWhich brings us to this infamous moment by Robert Redford, while promoting The Company You Keep, his new film embracing the Weather Underground:\n\nGeorge Stephanopoulos was so enthusiastic towards Robert Redford and his sympathetic new film about an ex-1960s radical that the actor enthused, “You ought to get on the marketing team!” ",
"The aging actor/director appeared on Tuesday’s Good Morning America and endorsed the violent actions of protest groups. ",
"Reminiscing on his own past, the liberal Hollywood star recounted, “When I was younger, I was very much aware of the movement. ",
"I was more than sympathetic, I was probably empathetic because I believed it was time for a change.”",
"\n\nAfter Stephanopoulos wondered, “Even when you read about bombings,” Redford responded, “All of it. ",
"I knew that it was extreme and I guess movements have to be extreme to some degree.",
"\n\n“ALL OF IT,” said Robert Redford, when asked if he supported the bombings by The Weather Underground.",
"\n\nRedford came out for terrorism on a mainstream morning television show in an interview with democrat-operative-leftist-hack George Stephanopoulos, who was slobbering over Redford’s pro-terrorist movie, The Company You Keep. ",
"I drew my illustration of Redford, below, days ago, and I wonder if he’s for the terrorist attack in Boston today. ",
"Or maybe he wants to wait and see if it’s leftist terrorists before he decides he’s all for it. ",
"Below is a list of what Robert Redford was for, via Sean Hannity on FOX News.",
"\n\nThe Weather Underground’s history of terrorism consisted of:\n\n1970: SFPD Bombing (1 Killed)\n\n1970: NYPD Bombing (7 Hurt)\n\n1970: NYC Explosion (3 Killed)\n\n1971-72: Capital & Pentagon Attacked\n\n1981: Armed Robbery (3 Killed)\n\n(As John Boot at PJ Media notes: The Vietnam War, of course, had been over for years, [by 1981] which gives the lie to the film’s claim that the Southeast Asia conflict was anything but a pretext for the terrorist network.)",
"\n\nFortunately, Redford really did his homework, thoroughly immersing himself in the history of that intense and convoluted period before the cameras rolled:\n\n[A]t a recent press junket, Redford emphasized that he didn’t do much research beside watching Siegel’s documentary.",
"\n\n“I didn’t feel I needed to, because I saw a documentary several years ago that came to the festival called the ‘Weather Underground,’” Redford said. “",
"I felt that that documentary was very well made about the actual people … I felt I had a thorough description of them from the film.”",
"\n\nRedford’s film is now playing in an environment where real terrorism is front and center in the news. ",
"On Twitter, Bill Hobbs speculates:\n\nGonna be hard for liberal film critics to praise Redford’s pro-terrorist bombers movie “The Company You Keep” after Boston. ",
"But they will.",
"\n\nOf course they will. ",
"As Kathy Shaidle likes to say, so much of “liberalism” boils down to “It’s different, when we do it.” ",
"This might be the ultimate case. ",
"Still, kudos to Redford for revealing his inner liberal fascist on national television.",
"\n\nRelated: Speaking of the Company You Keep, “New York Times shows sympathy for Boston terrorist suspects,” as spotted by the Daily Caller, who finds the Times attempting to brand the suspects as just average Joes, slacker kids “Far From War-Torn Homeland, Trying to Fit In”; “Brothers Seen as Good Students and Avid Athletes.”",
"\n\nWhy, it’s almost as if, from the top down, the Gray Lady is pretty cool with this whole radical chic thing themselves."

"Reduction incidence of myocardial infarction associated with a national legislative ban on smoking.",
"\nThe aim of the present study was to assess change in admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the period immediately subsequent to the coming into force of law no. ",
"3/2003 ''Protection of the health of non-smokers''. ",
"Four Italian regions (Piedmont, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio and Campania) took part in the study. ",
"Data regarding admissions for AMI were taken from the daily discharge papers of patients aged between 40 and 64 (cod. ",
"ICD9-CM 410.), ",
"in the period 10 January-10 March 2001-2005. ",
"Repeated admissions were excluded. ",
"Admission rates standardised by age and overall total, and specifically by region, age and gender were calculated. ",
"The hypothesis of a significant reduction between 2005 and 2004 was also checked. ",
"The results showed a decrease in the number of cases and in the standardised rates between 2004 and 2005. ",
"The number of admissions estimated with a linear regression model for 2005 was significantly higher than that really observed (+13%). ",
"The decrease between the 2005 and 2004 rates was noteworthy for all four regions. ",
"Analysis by gender shows that the effect is observed only in male patients and in the age classes 45-49 and 50-54. ",
"This study shows that there has been an appreciable reduction in the incidence of heart attacks in the period immediately subsequent to the coming into force of the non-smoking Law in the populations surveyed, and that this reduction mainly regards men of working age. ",
"The reduction reverses a trend that has been evident for a number of years, namely that of a decidedly upward trend in the number of admissions for AMI."

"Welcome back to our discussion of Jane Goodall’s In the Shadow of Man, an account of chimpanzee life in the Gombe National Park, Tanzania. ",
"I enjoyed this book quite a bit; my chief difficulty has been deciding which parts to excerpt for you.",
"\n\nTanzania borders the DRC ne Congo ne Belgian Congo, which was (coincidentally) the location of our previous Anthropology Friday selection, Isaac Bacirongo’s Still a Pygmy.",
"\n\nThe book begins with the difficulties inherent in setting up the research–obtaining permits and funding, overcoming the locals’ distrust, (they of course did not believe that this white woman actually wanted to live in the forest and stare at monkeys all day,) and a massive influx of refugees:\n\nOnce we reached Nairobi, however, I could think of nothing save the excitement of the eight-hundred-mile journey to Kigoma–and the chimpanzees. … ",
"When we reached Kigoma, however, after a dusty three days on the road, we found the whole town in a state of chaos. ",
"Since we had left Nairobi violence and bloodshed had erupted in the Congo, which lay only some twenty-five miles to the west of Kigoma, on the other side of lake Tanganyika. ",
"Kigoma was overrun by boatloads of Belgian refugees. … ",
"Eventually we ran the District Commissioner to earth, and he explained, regretfully but firmly, that there was no chance at all of my proceeding to the chimpanzee reserve. ",
"First it was necessary to wait and find out how the local Kigoma district Africans would react to the tales of rioting and disorder in the Congo. … ",
"Bernard shared his room with two homeless Belgians, and we even got out our three camp beds and lent them to the harassed hotel owner. ",
"Every room was crammed, but these refugees were in paradise compared to those housed in the huge warehouse, normally used for storing cargo… There everyone slept in long rows on mattresses or merely blankets on the cement floor, and queued up in the hundreds for the scant meals that Kigoma was able to provide for them. … ",
"On our second evening in Kigoma we three and a few others made two thousand SPAM sandwiches. … ",
"Two evenings later most of the refugees had gone, carried off by a series of extra trains to Tanganyika’s capital, Dar es Salaam.",
"\n\nThere follows a nice description of the town of Kigoma itself, and of course there is soon a great deal of material about chimpanzees and rather little about humans. ",
"Jane doesn’t mention the refugees again. (",
"To be fair, isolation probably meant that she had rather little knowledge about most human affairs for most of the 60s and 70s.)",
"\n\nSo who were these refugees? ",
"Where did they come from, and why?",
"\n\nObviously they were Belgians, from the Congo. ",
"We briefly covered this conflict back in Anthropology Friday: War, Violence, and More War:\n\nPatrice Lumumba was an anti-colonialist protestor who was jailed for opposing Belgian rule in the Congo and became the first democratically elected prime minister of the DRC. ",
"He then gave raises to everyone in the government except the military, so of course the military revolted. ",
"He asked the UN for help putting down the rebellion, but the UN sucked so he went to the Soviets.",
"\n\nThe Wikipedia page on the Congo Crisis gives far more detail on this conflict–notably, it blames the outbreak of the crisis not on Lumumba failing to give the army a raise, but on a Belgian military commander’s speech:\n\nLieutenant-General Émile Janssens, the Belgian commander of the Force Publique, refused to see Congolese independence as marking a change in the nature of command. ",
"The day after the independence festivities, he gathered the black non-commissioned officers of his Léopoldville garrison and told them that things under his command would stay the same, summarising the point by writing “Before Independence = After Independence” on a blackboard.",
"\n\nBasically, the Belgians officially proclaimed that the Republic of the Congo was independent on June 30, 1960, thirty years earlier than they had intended to. ",
"They seemed to have thought they could get people to stop protesting against Belgian rule by “officially” handing over power, but would still run everything. ",
"After all, while the colony had been advancing rapidly in recent decades–\n\nDuring the 1940s and 1950s, the Congo experienced an unprecedented level of urbanisation and the colonial administration began various development programmes aimed at making the territory into a “model colony”. ",
"One of the results of the measures was the development of a new middle class of Europeanised African “évolués” in the cities. ",

"\n\n–most native Congolese still weren’t well-educated in the fields thought necessary to run a country (or army.)",
"\n\nThe idea that the Congolese were too dumb and inexperienced to run their own country and therefore needed the Belgians to do it for them went over great with the army:\n\nThis message was hugely unpopular among the rank and file—many of the men had expected rapid promotions and increases in pay to accompany independence. ",
"On 5 July, several units mutinied against their white officers at Camp Hardy near Thysville. ",
"The insurrection spread to Léopoldville the next day and later to garrisons across the country. ",

"Today, Zimbabwe is a net importer of foodstuffs, with the European Union and United States providing emergency food relief as humanitarian aid on a regular basis.[151] The nation has suffered profound economic and social decline in the past twenty years. ",
"Recently the agriculture sector has started to do well since the availability of expertise and machines has improved supported mainly by China.[152][153] Zimbabwe also suffered from a crippling inflation rate, as the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe had a policy of printing money to satisfy government debts, which introduces excessive currency into the economic system which led to the demise of the local currency. ",
"This policy caused the inflation rate to soar from 32% in 1998 (considered extremely high by most economic standards) to an astonishing 11,200,000% by 2007. ",
"Monetary aid by the International Monetary Fund has been suspended due to the Zimbabwe government’s defaulting on past loans, inability to stabilise its own economy, and its inability to stem corruption and advance human rights.[151] In 2009, Zimbabwe abandoned its currency, relying instead on foreign currencies such as the South African rand, the US dollar, the Botswana pula, the euro and the British pound, among others.[154]\n\nZimbabwe‘s current per cap GDP is $1,054.",
"\n\nI think one of the common misconceptions about NRx is that it is based on a bunch of overly-pessimistic speculations about the future of democracy in places like the US or Germany. ",
"There’s plenty of that, of course. ",
"But much of Neoreaction is actually based on observation of events that have already happened in places like the DRC, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.",
"\n\nTo be fair, though, we are getting really off track from our original mission of reviewing Jane Goodall’s book about chimpanzees. ",
"In the book’s Forward, David A. Hamburg writes:\n\nThe picture of chimpanzee life that emerges is fascinating. ",
"Here is a highly intelligent, intensely social creature capable of close and enduring attachments, yet nothing that looks quite like human love, capable of rich communication through gestures, posture, facial expressions, and sounds, yet nothing quite like human language. ",
"This is a creature who not only uses tools effectively but also makes tools with considerable foresight; a creature who does a little sharing of food, though much less than man; a creature gifted in the arts of bluff and intimidation, highly excitable and aggressive, capable of using weapons, yet engaging in no activity comparable to human warfare; a creature who frequently hunts and kills small animals of other species in an organized, cooperative way, and seems to have some zest for the process of hunting, killing, and eating the prey; a creature whose repertoire of acts in aggression, deference, reassurance, and greeting bear uncanny similarity to human acts in similar situations.",
"\n\nThis bold turns out to be false.",
"\n\nIn the Shadow of Man was published in 1971; the chimpanzees of the Kahama region of the Gombe Stream went to war against the chimps of Kasakala in 1974:\n\nThe two [groups] had previously been a single, unified community, but by 1974 researcher Jane Goodall, who was observing the community, first noticed the chimps dividing themselves into northern and southern sub-groups.[2] … The Kahama group, in the south, consisted of six adult males (among them the chimpanzees known to Goodall as “Hugh”, “Charlie”, and “Goliath”), three adult females and their young, and an adolescent male (known as “Sniff”).[2] The larger Kasakela group, meanwhile, consisted of twelve adult females and their young, and eight adult males.[2] … The first outbreak of violence occurred on January 7, 1974,[4] when a party of six adult Kasakela males attacked and killed “Godi”, a young Kahama male … Over the next four years, all six of the adult male members of the Kahama were killed by the Kasakela males.[5] Of the females from Kahama, one was killed, two went missing, and three were beaten and kidnapped by the Kasakela males.[5] The Kasakela then succeeded in taking over the Kahama’s former territory.[5]\n\nI have the luxury of reading this account after already hearing, at least vaguely, that chimps wage war on each other. ",
"To Jane–despite having observed chimpanzee belligerence for years–it came as a surprise:\n\nThe outbreak of the war came as a disturbing shock to Goodall, who had previously considered chimpanzees to be, although similar to human beings, “rather ‘nicer'” in their behavior.[7] Coupled with the observation in 1975 of cannibalistic infanticide by a high-ranking female in the community, the violence of the Gombe war first revealed to Goodall the “dark side” of chimpanzee behavior.[7] She was profoundly disturbed by this revelation; in her memoir Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe, she wrote:\n\n“For several years I struggled to come to terms with this new knowledge. ",
"Often when I woke in the night, horrific pictures sprang unbidden to my mind—Satan [one of the apes], cupping his hand below Sniff’s chin to drink the blood that welled from a great wound on his face; old Rodolf, usually so benign, standing upright to hurl a four-pound rock at Godi’s prostrate body; Jomeo tearing a strip of skin from Dé’s thigh; Figan, charging and hitting, again and again, the stricken, quivering body of Goliath, one of his childhood heroes. [",
"8]”\n\nWar.",
"\n\nI suspect that humans evolved their upright stance to be better at carrying around large sticks with which to kill other apes. ",
"This made it harder for us to climb trees, but may have allowed for our voice boxes to descend (the voice box is actually important for closing off the lungs to provide rigidity to the chest while climbing,) allowing for a greater range of vocalizations, which in turn made us better at communicating and so organizing our bashing-apes-with-sticks expeditions. ",
"Eventually we stopped hunting other primates and turned our attention to more efficient game, like mammoths."

"Due to the events of September 11th…”\n\nPeople believe some completely ridiculous things. ",
"Granted, this predates the terrorist attacks, but it certainly made a lot of conspiracy theories bubble to the surface. ",
"It’s not just about poet laureates inventing tales of wily Jews calling off work or incendiary bombs being stashed in ductwork to make the explosions bigger, it’s stuff people make up because they have no other explanation outside of what they hear from political pundits, talk radio, and Pierre Salinger.

"As long as it stays similar in scope as the normally subdued Pearl Harbor Day, I don’t think there will be a problem. ",
"But if gains the level of importance now placed on such holidays as Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Patriot Day will simply become yet another holiday used to convert important parts of our history into another opportunity to buy shoes off at half price. ",

"The photoelectric type pulse signal detection is extensively applied to the field of medical care and consumer electronics, and particularly applied to wearable devices due to its characteristics such as convenient use, small size and low power consumption.",
"\nA main principle of photoelectric type pulse signal detection is that when light is irradiated on skin, it is partly absorbed and partly reflected; when heart beats, a flow rate of arterial blood in arterial blood vessels presents a periodic motion identical with a heartbeat cycle, which causes cyclic changes of the intensity of the reflected light. ",
"A photoelectric transmitter transmits light beams to the skin, the light beams are reflected by the skin and received by a photoelectric receiver, and a cycle and frequency of heartbeat may be obtained according to a change tendency of the intensity of the reflected light.",
"\nIn practical application, the photoelectric type pulse detection is usually confronted with interference from ambient light. ",
"Natural light and artificial light outside a photoelectric sensor is irradiated on the photoelectric receiver to form ambient light interference. ",
"In practical application, the photoelectric type pulse detection are further vulnerable to the interference of a user's actions. ",
"For example, when it is applied to a smart watch or smart wristband, it is susceptible to the interference of a hand's motion. ",
"When it is applied to a smart earphone, it is susceptible to the interference of the head motions and respiration. ",
"Relative motion between a photoelectric pulse measuring instrument and skin causes an optical transmission pathway between the photoelectric transmitter and photoelectric sensor to change, causes changes of light intensity, and forms motion interference. ",
"The resultant ambient light interference and/or motion interference affect signal energy statistics of the reflected light and thereby affect a heartbeat cycle detection precision.",
"\nIn conventional technologies, a customary method of eliminating and weakening ambient light interference is to improve the structure and minimize a gap between the optical sensor and the external environment to block the ambient light; another customary method is to strengthen a transmission intensity of a light source. ",
"However, these methods are less applicable in a portable device and a wearable device. ",
"In such devices, for the sake of convenience and comfort in use, contact between the sensor and skin is not tight, a gap is apt to occur, and a size of the gap varies with relative motions so that the ambient light is hard to effectively block; in a wearable device, the apparatus needs to operate in a longer time period, so increasing the light source intensity will cause excessive power consumption, and shorten the use time period, which is not applicable.",
"\nIn conventional technologies, a customary method of eliminating and weakening motion interference is to strengthen the clamp or contact of the photoelectric sensor and skin to eliminate the motion interference. ",
"However, for a wearable device, the sensor cannot tightly contact with the skin and the body motion is frequent, so this method is not practical; another customary method is using an accelerometer to detect actions so as to eliminate action interference in the photoelectric sensor signal. ",
"However, since the accelerometer and photoelectric sensor are different types of sensors, different signal collecting systems need to be configured, and rigid sample cycle consistency is required between the signal collecting systems. ",
"The correspondence relationship between the accelerometer signal and the optical signal is complicated so that complexity of the hardware and software is high."

"The present invention is directed to a seating/storage add-on section having a non-rigid coupling means for attaching to a shopping cart. ",
"The add-on section can be retrofitted to various sized shopping carts and provides additional seating and storage space on the cart. ",
"The non-rigid coupling means readily connects with a shopping cart and allows relative movement between the add-on section and the cart. ",
"The add-on section can be quickly and easily disconnected from an attached shopping cart.",
"\nConventional shopping carts generally comprise a basket on a wheeled frame and a collapsible seat mounted in the basket. ",
"Such collapsible seats are intended to accommodate one small child, but for a shopper who has more than one child or whose child is too large to use the collapsible seat, shopping is made more difficult.",
"\nDevices that provide additional seating for shopping carts have been developed to accommodate those shoppers whose seating requirements exceed the limited capacity provided by a collapsible seat in a conventional cart. ",
"Some of these seating devices are integrally formed with the shopping cart so that the cart and seating device cannot be separated from each other. ",
"While such an integral device provides additional cart seating for shoppers, the shopping cart can only be used with the seating device.",
"\nOther types of seating devices exist that can be releasably attached to a shopping cart. ",
"Some of these devices can be retrofitted to an existing shopping cart to provide additional seating for children. ",
"However, installing such a device on a cart can require tools, skill and time, so that it can be a frustrating and lengthy task. ",
"Removing the device from the cart can be equally frustrating for the same reasons. ",
"Once attached, the shopping cart is generally dedicated to exclusive use with the seating device. ",
"This limits the versatility of the shopping cart and can be a drawback when there may be a shortage of carts available for shoppers not requiring the additional seating of the combined unit.",
"\nIn addition, the seating device and attached cart are usually stored as a combined unit since the connection between the two cannot be readily disengaged. ",
"A combined unit is unable to nest with other units as do conventional, unattached shopping carts. ",
"Each combined unit requires the full length of the shopping cart and the attached seating device for storage. ",
"Consequently, more space is required for storing the combined units than would be needed for storing carts separately from the seating devices.",
"\nWhen the seating device and attached cart of the combined unit are rigidly connected to each other, the rigid connection deters relative movement between the device and the cart. ",
"This is especially disadvantageous when the combined unit is used on uneven surfaces, including curbs, speed bumps and ramps. ",
"When crossing an uneven surface, one or more wheels of the seating device and/or cart can leave the ground. ",
"The combined unit will remain rigid, thereby placing undue stress on the connector. ",
"This stress can loosen and/or damage the connector which necessitates frequent inspection and maintenance of the combined unit at an increased cost to the owner.",
"\nFor the foregoing reasons, there is a need for a seating/storage add-on section having a non-rigid coupling means that can be readily attached and detached from a shopping cart so that the add-on section can be quickly installed or removed when desired. ",
"The need also exists for a non-rigid coupling means that allows for relative movement between the add-on section and an attached shopping cart."

"He asserts that his civil rights were violated when he was unlawfully detained and assaulted and battered on April 30, 1999. ",
"Plaintiff's claims are asserted under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988; the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; Louisiana Civil Code Article 2315 and Louisiana Constitution Article 1, Sections 2 and 5. ",
"By Partial Judgment entered on October 16, 2000, all federal claims asserted by plaintiff against Acadian were dismissed with prejudice. (",

"\nIn the instant motion, Fuselier contends that plaintiff's official capacity claim should be dismissed because plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that any official policy, custom or procedure caused his alleged constitutional violations. ",
"Fuselier further contends that plaintiff's individual capacity claims should be dismissed because he was not personally involved in the alleged constitutional deprivations nor has he implemented any inadequate policy, custom or procedure which caused the alleged constitutional deprivation. ",
"Deputies Savoy, Scott and Clay assert that they are not individually liable for any alleged deprivation of due process because Nowell's arrest was based upon probable cause, because he voluntarily committed himself to Vermillion Hospital, and as a result of his never being jailed or prosecuted he cannot claim deprivation of any legal procedure or hearing. ",
"Savoy, Scott and Clay also contend that Nowell's seizure and arrest were based on probable cause and therefore, he *500 cannot prevail on his claims of unlawful seizure or false arrest or imprisonment. ",
"Savoy and Scott assert that they cannot be liable for the alleged use of excessive force as they were not present at the scene of the alleged incident, inside the Acadian ambulance. ",
"Clay contends that although he was present in the ambulance, the force used upon Nowell in response to Nowell's spitting on him and the EMT was reasonable. ",
"Additionally, he contends that Nowell is unable to sustain his burden of demonstrating the use of force was wanton or malicious, and also that Nowell did not receive a \"substantial injury\". ",
"Savoy, Scott and Clay contend that Nowell has no claim for malicious prosecution because amongst other things, his arrest was based upon probable cause and there has been no egregious misuse of a legal proceeding. ",
"Finally, Savoy, Scott and Clay contend that Nowell has no proof of his conclusory allegations that falsified documents were filed or that these alleged documents caused him any injury. ",
"Accordingly, these defendants request that all of Nowell's federal and state claims asserted against them should be dismissed.",
"\nAcadian contends that the sole remaining state law claims pending against it should be dismissed because under La.R.S. 40:1233 the Acadian emergency medical technicians were certified and acting pursuant to physician orders, thus, because Nowell has no expert witness he cannot sustain his burden of proof that there was any deviation from the applicable standard of care.

"Plaintiff fails to submit any evidence that these policies are in any respect inadequate, or that there is any custom or pattern of inadequate hiring, training, supervision or discipline. ",

"Unreasonable Seizure/False Arrest and Imprisonment\nPlaintiff has a right to be free from illegal arrest; however, whether an arrest is illegal hinges on the absence of probable cause. ",

"\nIn the instant suit, plaintiff admits in his deposition that he pointed a .32 caliber pistol at the sheriff's deputies twice in the hopes that the deputies would shoot him, and that he was ultimately charged *504 with aggravated assault on a \"police officer `by fire'.\" ",

"The standoff between plaintiff and the officers continued for over one half hour before deputies were able to disarm Nowell and physically wrestle him to the ground. ",
"On the date of this incident, plaintiff admittedly had consumed a case of beer. ",
"Moreover, the medical records indicate that plaintiff was so agitated that the EMT was unable to take his vitals, and also that Nowell was \"aggravated\" and \"violent\", thus, requiring stretcher straps during transport. ",
"Plaintiff fails to submit any affidavits or other evidence in support of his claim of unreasonable seizure. ",
"Accordingly, because plaintiff's arrest was not conducted in an extraordinary manner, summary judgment on the claim of unreasonable seizure is proper.",

"As discussed above, because Nowell's arrest was made upon probable cause, he has no claim for malicious prosecution. ",
"Summary judgment is properly granted with respect to this claim.",

"Filing of False Police Reports\nIn his complaint, plaintiff alleges that the \"defendant officers further made and filed false official documents, in the form of false police reports, in an attempt to cover up their wrongdoing, the negligent acts of the officers and shield themselves from civil and criminal liability and internal discipline.\" ",
"Plaintiff does not allege what report he claims was false or how the alleged filing caused him damage. ",
"Moreover, Nowell fails to identify any federal rights in jeopardy, nor has he indicated how the alleged filing of these reports deprived him of any constitutional right.",
"\nThe mere existence of falsified police reports do not in and of themselves violate any of Nowell's federal rights. ",
"Landrigan v. City of Warwick, 628 F.2d 736, 745 (1st Cir.1980); Comfort v. Town of Pittsfield, 924 F.Supp. ",

"\nIn Landrigan, the First Circuit held that \"the mere filing of false police reports, by themselves without more, [does] not create a right of action in damages under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.\" ",
"Id. at 744-45. ",
"The court reasoned that for the purpose of recovering damages, the existence of a false report sitting in a police station filing cabinet does not itself deprive a person of a constitutional or statutory right. ",
"Id. To the contrary, falsified police reports are only actionable under § 1983 if those reports result in the deprivation of life, liberty or property. ",
"Id. If action is taken on the basis of falsified reports a plaintiff may file suit. ",
"Id.\nHere, however, as in Landrigan, the police reports are mainly relevant to the extent they resulted in an allegedly false charge. ",
"Id. However, as discussed above, probable cause existed to charge plaintiff with aggravated assault on a peace officer with a firearm. ",
"Accordingly, it has not been demonstrated that any police report charging Nowell with that crime was false. ",
"Moreover, in the absence of more specific pleadings, it is not clear that the alleged false reports alone resulted in damages to Nowell cognizable under § 1983, beyond those arising out of his Fourth Amendment claims. ",
"Finally, in support of summary judgment herein, the defendants submit the deposition testimony of Nowell wherein he admits that he had no personal knowledge of any falsified documents, nor has Nowell produced any proof to support his conclusory allegations. ",
"For these reasons, summary judgment with respect to this claim is proper.",
"\n\nV. Deprivation of Due Process\nIn his complaint, Nowell conclusorily states that he was deprived of his liberty without due process. ",
"To the extent Nowell's complaint focuses on his being transported to the hospital, that complaint is without merit.[10] It was entirely *506 appropriate for the officers to transport Nowell to the hospital for immediate psychiatric attention given his admittedly suicidal state. ",
"Indeed, the deputies had a duty to render reasonable medical care and hence, would have been subject to liability had they not taken that step. ",
"See Nerren v. Livingston Police, 86 F.3d 469 (5th Cir.1996) (holding that arrestees, like pretrial detainees are entitled to reasonable medical care unless the failure to supply that care is reasonably related to a legitimate governmental objective.). ",
"To the extent that Nowell complains about his subsequent commitment to the Vermillion Hospital for Psychiatric and Addictive Medicine, the defendants have submitted medical records demonstrating that Nowell voluntarily committed himself for treatment. ",
"Hence, the officers did not involuntarily deprive Nowell of his liberty interest. ",
"With respect to procedural due process, Nowell has not alleged that he was deprived of any hearing or legal proceeding, nor has he submitted any evidence or affidavits indicating the need for same. ",
"To the contrary, under the circumstances presented herein, the undersigned is unable to discover that any such hearing or proceeding was necessary. ",
"Accordingly, in the absence of any evidence or affidavits in opposition to summary judgment herein, the undersigned concludes that no issue of fact remains with respect to plaintiff's due process claim. ",
"Thus, summary judgment is appropriate with respect to Nowell's due process claim.",
"\n\nVI. ",
"Excessive Force\n\nDeputies Savoy and Scott\nIn his complaint, plaintiff alleges that \"while in the ambulance, Mr. Nowell was beaten until he was unconscious.\" ",
"He further asserts that Savoy and Scott[11] \"observed the unlawful assault and battery upon the plaintiff through the use of excessive force\" and that the \"defendant officers' allowing plaintiff to be severely assaulted and battered was done in deliberate indifference and disregard of his rights....\" Defendants Savoy and Scott have submitted their affidavits wherein they each state under oath that they never struck Mr. Nowell, did not observe anyone else strike Nowell, and did not enter the Acadian Ambulance which transported Mr. Nowell to the hospital. ",
"Additionally, the defendants have submitted deposition testimony of Nowell, Ronald J. Leger, the EMT inside the ambulance, and Deputy Clay who accompanied Mr. Nowell to the hospital. ",
"That testimony *507 reveals that the alleged use of excessive force occurred while Mr. Nowell was inside the ambulance on route to the hospital, and that only Nowell, Deputy Clay and EMT Leger were present. ",
"Plaintiff has failed to submit any evidence contradicting Savoy's and Scott's testimony that they were not present inside the ambulance when the alleged use of excessive force occurred, nor has he presented any evidence which would indicate that Savoy or Scott observed any excessive use of force prior to Nowell's being placed in the ambulance or any evidence indicating that they were in any way placed on notice that the alleged use of force would occur during transport.",
"\nAn officer who is present at the scene and does not take reasonable measures to protect a suspect from another officer's use of excessive force may be liable under § 1983 under a theory of bystander liability. ",

"denied, 500 U.S. 956, 111 S.Ct. ",
"2266, 114 L.Ed.2d 718 (1991).[12] Thus, the officer must have had a reasonable opportunity to realize the excessive nature of the force and a reasonable opportunity to intervene to stop it. ",
"Indeed, under Hale, the Fifth Circuit has articulated that liability attaches only if \"[the plaintiff] prove[s] that [the bystanding officer] was present at the scene ... but did not take reasonable measures to prevent [another officer] from using excessive force.\" ",
"Snyder v. Trepagnier, 142 F.3d 791, 801 at fn. ",
"11 (5th Cir.1998) citing Hale. ",
"Accordingly, in Snyder, the court found no error in dismissing the plaintiff's claim against a bystanding officer \"[i]n light of [the plaintiff's] admission that he did not know whether [the bystanding officer] was in the area when he was shot, and the absence of probative evidence suggesting otherwise....\" Id.\nAccordingly, summary judgment is properly granted to Savoy and Scott with respect to plaintiff's claim for use of excessive force as there is simply no evidence supporting plaintiff's claim that either defendant used excessive force on plaintiff, observed the complained use of excessive force or allowed plaintiff to be subjected to the use of excessive force, nor is there any evidence that Savoy or Scott had any opportunity to take steps to prevent the alleged use of force, or to intervene to stop it.",
"\n\nDeputy Clay\nPlaintiff complains of events which occurred in connection with his arrest while he was still in custody of the arresting officers, prior to any processing by the sheriff's department, at a time when he was not incarcerated awaiting trial, much less awaiting trial for a significant period of time.

"\nThe Fifth Circuit has held that in order to succeed on an excessive force claim, a plaintiff bears the burden of showing (1) an injury (2) which resulted directly and only from the use of force that was excessive to the need and (3) the force used was objectively unreasonable. ",

"While brandishing a gun threatening suicide by admittedly placing *509 the gun to his head and inside his mouth, he was physically wrestled from his wheelchair to the floor and the gun secured. ",
"Thereafter, he was placed prone on a stretcher and placed in an Acadian Ambulance to be transported to a hospital. ",
"The only persons present inside the ambulance during the transport were Deputy Clay and EMT Leger.",
"\nThe medical records reveal that during transport Nowell appeared to be intoxicated and was \"agitated\" and \"violent\". ",
"Indeed, he was so agitated that the EMT was unable to take his vitals and stretcher straps were required during transport. ",
"The medical records also reveal that on physical examination Dr. Cain found \"abrasions inside mouth and ecchymoses R. upper eyelid.\" ",
"The records fail to demonstrate that Nowell was unconscious for any period of time. ",
"Additionally, there is no indication on any record that Nowell ever gave of a history of being beaten while in the ambulance.",
"\nLeger testified that initially, Nowell was lying prone on the stretcher with his head turned to the right. ",
"It is undisputed that while inside the ambulance, Nowell spat at Clay two to three times, one such occasion hitting Clay in the face. ",
"Clay indicated that he believed that he and Leger were endangered because of the risk of infection associated with such behavior. ",
"Clay testified that he told Nowell to stop spitting, but that \"verbal commands is out because he would not listen to verbal commands.\" ",
"Accordingly, in response to being spat at and upon, he admittedly put his knee in Nowell's right facial area and then turned his head in the opposite direction, to the left. ",
"Clay's knee remained on Nowell's face for approximately 45 seconds to a minute. ",
"After removing his knee, Clay did not see any damage to Nowell. ",
"He denied ever kicking or hitting Nowell and also denied seeing anyone else inside the ambulance kick or hit Nowell.",
"\nLeger's testimony is consistent with Clay's version of events. ",
"He testified that Clay put his knee on Nowell's face for less than a minute and told him to stop spitting. ",
"Leger also testified that after the knee was removed, he visually examined Nowell's face and did not see anything abnormal. ",
"Moreover, he testified that Nowell was conscious the entire trip and that he did not see any deputy beat or kick Nowell in any fashion.",
"\nPlaintiff has not presented any contradictory affidavits or any evidence whatsoever to refute the evidence presented by Clay in support of his motion for summary judgment. ",
"Thus, he has failed to present a material issue of fact establishing that the force used herein was excessive to the need or that it was in any way objectively unreasonable. ",
"To the contrary, examination of the record and evidence submitted in support of summary judgment herein reveals that under the totality of the circumstances, the force used by Clay in response to Nowell's spitting at and on him was not objectively unreasonable or excessive to the need.",
"\nMoreover, considering the totality of the facts and circumstances confronting Deputy Clay, balancing the amount of force used against the need for that force, it is clear that the force used by Clay was not excessive to the need, nor was it objectively unreasonable. ",
"Nowell was under arrest for a serious crime, aggravated assault on a peace officer with a firearm. ",
"He was by all accounts resisting and belligerent as he was admittedly intoxicated, agitated and spitting at Clay. ",
"Moreover, Nowell's spitting placed both Clay and Leger in danger of contracting disease. ",
"Finally, the record demonstrates that Nowell was not responsive to verbal commands, thus necessitating physical intervention. ",
"Under these *510 circumstances, Clay's use of his knee in Nowell's facial area to turn Nowell's head in the opposite direction was appropriate.",
"\nAlthough in his pleadings to this court Nowell claims to have been beaten until unconscious, that allegation is simply not supported by the record herein. ",
"To the contrary, the medical records submitted by Clay in support of summary judgment herein demonstrate only abrasions on the inside of plaintiff's mouth and ecchymoses or a bruise in the area of the right eye. ",
"These injuries are not consistent with the severe and debilitating beating which plaintiff claims to have suffered. ",
"To the contrary, the abrasions and bruise are consistent with the application of force as described by Deputy Clay and EMT Leger. ",
"Moreover, there is no indication that plaintiff was unconscious or that he ever gave a history of having been beaten to any of the health care providers on the night in question or during the one week thereafter when he was voluntarily committed for psychiatric treatment.[14] Finally, after removing his knee from Nowell's facial area neither Clay nor Leger saw anything abnormal. ",
"In the absence of any evidence to the contrary in opposition to summary judgment herein, the undersigned cannot find an issue of material fact with respect to Nowell's excessive force claim.",
"\nFinally, accepting the injuries as noted in the medical records, abrasions inside Nowell's mouth and a bruise in the area of the right eye, in the context employed, fail to rise to the level of constitutional significance. ",
"To the contrary, such injuries, even if sustained as a result of force applied by Clay, more appropriately fall into the de minimis range of imposition.[15] See Siglar v. Hightower, 112 F.3d 191, 193-94 (5th Cir.1997) (finding the plaintiff's alleged injury, a bruised ear lasting for three days requiring no medical treatment suffered as a result of an unprovocated twisting of plaintiff's ear, was de minimis).",

"Friction stir welding is a solid-state (sub-solidus) joining process typically applied to metallic materials. ",
"It involves forcing a spinning, non-consumable tool into and along a joint between two or more workpieces to be permanently joined. ",
"A fully consolidated metallurgical joint may be formed between the workpieces as a result of the mechanical stirring and frictional heat introduced into the joint by the rotating, moving (traversing) tool. ",
"A conventional friction stir welding tool includes a shoulder and a probe that extends outwardly from the shoulder. ",
"During the FSW process, the probe is forced into the workpieces up to the shoulder and travels longitudinally along the joint interface (sometimes referred to as a faying surface) therebetween.",
"\nIn full penetration welds, the probe provides through-thickness stirring of the joint interface to form a fully consolidated weld nugget or stir zone. ",
"The shoulder travels under force on the surface of the workpieces along the top edge of the joint interface, and provides both mechanical heating and containment of the workpiece material at the joint interface (at times referred to as “joint material”) to keep it from escaping the stir zone. ",
"More information regarding conventional friction stir welding may be found in U.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",

"\nA friction stir welding tool may include an integral probe or, as shown in FIG. ",
"1, a separate probe 100 that is insertable into the shoulder. ",
"As shown, the separate probe includes a shank and 102 and a tip 104. ",
"The shank may be held in the body of the weld tool with a set screw or bolt, which may be tightened against a whistle-notch 106 located in the shank. ",
"The tip is designed to extend outwardly from the shoulder, and it often includes threads 108 that are, in effect, small protruding geometric features. ",
"Different screw thread forms have been used in friction stir welding tools including, for example, unified threads, pipe threads, and power screw threads. ",
"As shown, the tip includes threads and a set of spiraled flats 110.",
"\nThe tip 104 of the probe 100 often includes threads 108 as an effective and efficient means for moving material around and along the tip. ",
"However, threads tend to break (“shed”) with use during the FSW process, leaving small fragments of the probe in the joint material and rendering the probe less effective. ",
"Threaded tool probes are particularly susceptible to thread breakage at the end 112 of the probe tip 104 opposite the shank 102 because partial threads 104a are present at this location. ",
"Even when a chamfer is machined into the end of the probe, the threads become partial threads at this location and are prone to breakage (especially during the plunging phase of a typical FSW cycle).",
"\nThe threads 108 of a tool probe 100 also tend to constrain the joint material to flow around the tool probe in a spiral path, which is imposed on the material by the spiral nature of threads. ",
"As such, the joint material is engaged by the strong auguring motion of the threads. ",
"Given the relatively high rotational speeds of the probe, threads may be stripped similar to when the threads of a nut get stripped out by over-tightening. ",
"Shavings of parent material produced in this way must be recombined to form a solid joint in the wake of the tool, especially in high-strength aluminum alloys. ",
"The result is a relatively large content of interfaces in the recombined material behind the probe in the stir zone.",
"\nTherefore, it may be desirable to have a tool probe designed to more efficiently move material front to back of the probe as it rotates and advances during a FSW process, while providing sufficient heat, pressure and relative translation of the joint material from each workpiece being joined without the use of threads or serrations."

"`Risk perception'\n\nPhil Agre <[email protected]>Wed, 28 Aug 91 18:25:46 pdt\n\nI reread the LA Times article that Rodney Hoffman helpfully summarized the\nother day, and suddenly I understood something about the peculiar logic behind\nthe rhetoric of `risk'. ",
"This article described a series of `findings' to\nthe effect that people are basically irrational about technological risks and\nother bureaucratic phenomena (in this case, the medical profession). ",
"I tend\nto be suspicious about any theory that treats ordinary people as irrational,\nand indeed a close reading of this article reveals both better explanations\nof the data and internal incoherencies in the framework within which these\ndata were reported. ",
"The `findings' summarized by RH, or most of them, are\neasily explained if we hypothesize that most people disbelieve the claims\nthat are made to them about the risks and benefits of new technologies etc\n(perhaps because they believe the organizations making such claims to be\ndriven by profit and prestige and getting promoted rather than by genuine\nconcerns for public health and safety), and furthermore that people only\nbelieve in risks and benefits they've had the opportunity to evaluate for\nthemselves. ",
"This particular article was unusual in that this explanation was\ngiven a few lines, though it was quickly dropped and the analysis continued\nas before.",
"\nThe point is important because it helps diagnose some of the hidden agenda\ninside the notion of `risk'. ",
"To talk about `levels of risk' and the like\nerases the distinction between the experts' assessments of risk and the\nassessments that ordinary people are in a position to make. ",
"If ordinary\npeople make different assessments from the experts, then that calls for some\nquasi-biological investigation of `risk perception'. ",
"These investigations\nwill discover all manner of irrationality and ignorance, which will then\nmotivate calls for greater efforts to convince people to leave things in the\nhands of the experts. ",
"The irrationality ascribed to ordinary people helps to\ndraw attention from the open contradictions in the research: the conclusion\nthat ordinary people are unwilling to accept any risk at all is juxtaposed\ncomfortably with the observation that the same people regularly assume large\nrisks out on the highway.",
"\nThe thing is, though, that the experts have a pretty crude understanding of\nrisk. ",
"The LA Times article and many others of its genre are obsessed with\ndeath statistics. ",
"Levels of risk are routinely equated with the number of\npeople who die each year from a given cause. ",
"Thus the obsessive interest in\npopular assessments of the relative magnitudes of these numbers. ",
"It may well\nbe that people falsely believe that many more people die in fires than from\ndrowning, for example, but the question is only interesting once one accepts\nseveral premises. ",
"Thus as well the obsessive interest in people's skills with\nword problems from probability theory, which are only germane if you believe\n(which most people apparently do not) that it's a responsible procedure to\nassume (as risk theorists so often do, if only because it makes the math\nsimpler) that probabilities are independent unless evidence to the contrary\ncannot be ignored. ",
"Somehow the whole framework associated with the concept\nof `risk' derails any attempt to critically investigate these premises.",
"\nIn my opinion this is not an accident. ",
"The whole rhetoric of `risk' started\nout as corporate PR. ",
"You probably remember the old oil-company ads (from\nMobil, right?) ",
"decrying those people who supposedly called for a `risk-free\nsociety'. ",
"These ads were the laughing-stock of the country, and rightly so.",
"\nHow times have changed. ",
"Oil companies no longer have to buy quarter page ads\non the NY Times op-ed page to get such stuff into print. ",
"The same ideology,\nmade into a profession, now shows up as `research' in articles in the LA\nTimes. ",
"Now we have sophisticated, scientific-sounding ways to ignore the\nreasonable insistences of normal people — on being told the truth, on being\nable to find the world intelligible and sane, being consulted about things\nthat change their lives, on not being subjected to hazards without their\nconsent, and generally on being able to participate in collective decisions\nabout issues of technology and social change — and remaking them as an\nirrational aversion to `risk'.",
"\nThis is why it's so ironic that many of the same people who use the discourse\nof `risk' also complain about expressions such as ``risks to the public in\ncomputers and related systems'' which, we are told, encourage a one-sided\nfocus on risks without the balancing context of benefits. ",
"Here, surely,\nis another instance of the irrational aversion to risk. ",
"Such complaints\nare both right and wrong. ",
"Technology has certainly been associated with both\ngood and bad in the world, and often at the same time. ",
"But it's important\nnot to take `technology' (or `computers' or `credit databases') as package\ndeals. ",
"Computer technology is malleable; it can be reshaped endlessly as\nimportant social goals are added to its requirements. ",
"The problem with the\nvocabulary of `risks and benefits', as with the vocabulary of `risk', is\nthat it presupposes the unilateral nature of technology, handed down from\non high, take it or leave it. ",
"But it doesn't have to be that way. ",
"Socially\nresponsible technology is technology that is developed *with* people, not\njust `for' them. ",
"Can the current social organization of technology even\nconceive of such a process?",

"In\nnetworking's early days, its advocates promised a wonderful world of pure\nmind-to-mind, speed-of-light, electronic conversation. ",

"In studies originally designed to\njudge the efficiency of computerized decision-making, they gave small groups of\nstudents a deadline to solve a problem. ",
"Groups either talked together in a\nroom or communicated via isolated computer terminals. ",
"The face-to-face groups\nreported no undue friction. ",
"The computerized sessions frequently broke down\ninto bickering and name-calling. ",
"In one case, invective escalated into\nphysical threats. \"",
"We had to stop the experiment and escort the students out\nof the building separately,\" Keisler recalls. ",
"Kiesler and Sproul documented a\ntendency toward flaming on corporate electronic-mail systems as well. ",
"At one\nlarge company, employees cited an average of 33 flames a month over the email\nsystem; comparable outbursts in face-to-face meetings occurred about four times\na month.",
"\nKeisler and Sproull attribute the phenomenon largely to the absence of cues\nnormally guiding a conversation — a listeners's nod or raised eyebrows. \"",
"With\na computer,\" Keisler says,\"there's nothing to remind you there are real humans\non the other end of the wire.\" ",
"Messages become overemphatic — all caps to\nsignify a shout; \"(smile)\" or \":-)\", a sideways happy-face, to mean \"I'm\nkidding.\" ",

"But computerized messages may be read\ndays later by hundreds or thousands of readers. ",
"Flaming's ornery side is only\nhalf the picture, says Sproull, who co-authored _Connections: New Ways of\nWorking in the Networked Organization_ with Keisler. \"",
"People on networks feel\nfreer to express more enthusiam and positive excitement as well as socially\nundesirable behavior,\" she says. ",

"Nashon\nallegedly was an active associate of \"Phoenix\" (or was himself Phoenix) — the\nAustralian who broke into Cliff Stoll's machine and mine, who then called John\nMarkoff at the NY Times to brag about breaking into our systems (February or\nearly March). ",
"In both cases, damage was done to our systems; Cliff claimed his\nsystem was thoroughly trashed during the incident, as I remember.",
"\nThe same gang of crackers are alleged to have broken into systems at a major\ntelecommunications firm (I won't use their name) and caused damage, and I know\nthey raised havoc with machines at LLNL and UT Austin, as well. ",
"Breakins\noccurred many other places, too. ",
"System files were altered to insert backdoors\nfor later access, and log files were altered and destroyed to hide the\nevidence. ",
"We saw it happen, as did people at those other sites — it was not\njust simple exploration. ",
"The breakins were purposeful, and continued over\nseveral months despite warnings and attempts to stop them. ",
"I'm aware of some\nof the evidence collected in the case by the Australian Federal Police --\nincluding transcript of hacking sessions — and it shows that more than\n\"innocent exploration\" was involved.",
"\nI'm not claiming that Nashon was the principal in this, or was involved in all\nthe activity; the Australian courts will decide the legal aspects of that\nquestion. ",
"However, if he *was* involved with these activities, he was\ncertainly doing more than harmless exploration (if, indeed, any unauthorized\nexploration is \"harmless\"). ",
"Some of the damage may have been accidental or\nincidental, but there was damage nonetheless, and it caused considerable work\nfor our staff here to clean up afterwards, as it did at the other sites\ninvolved.",
"\nPeople (in general — I'm not singling out Mr. O'Keefe) should realize that\nindividuals committing computer crimes don't all look the part....assuming\nthere is any typical \"look\" to them. ",
"Pick almost any kind of \"white-collar\"\ncrime you wish to name. ",
"Then interview victims, friends, and teachers of the\naccused, and many of them will say \"I never would have expected it of him (or\nher)! ",
"He was such a bright, friendly person from a good family.....\" (It\ndoesn't even have to be white-collar crime: Ted Bundy comes to mind as an\nexample).",
"\nTo bring this back around more squarely into RISKS: Bright students are just as\ncapable of stepping outside the bounds of propriety as are dumb students --\nmaybe even more so, as they often know how to get around the barriers that have\nbeen placed to prevent accidental access. ",
"Just as we shouldn't always believe\nwhat the computer tells us, we should likewise not always believe what our\nintuition tells us.",
"\nFurthermore, those of us who are teachers and role models need to be\nsure we are teaching all our students (especially the bright ones)\nwhere the boundaries of proper usage lie; teaching how computers work\nis not a substitute for raising questions about how they are to be used.",

"The Pleasure Deficit: Revisiting the ‘‘Sexuality Connection’’ in Reproductive Health\n\nBy Jenny A. Higgins and Jennifer S. Hirsch\n\nIn a seminal 1993 article, Ruth Dixon-Mueller questioned the reproductive health field’s conceptualization of sexuality, arguing that it had treated intercourse as a sanitized, emotionally neutral act.1 If one were to learn about human sexuality by reading family planning research and program manuals, she suggested, one would have no idea that sex leads to great enjoyment—as well as pain—for human beings. ",
"She called for a more gendersensitive approach to sexuality in research and programming, including greater attention to the ways in which women want to maximize sexual enjoyment and minimize sexual harm, and to how these desires influence their reproductive health behaviors. ",
"Such an approach— which Dixon-Mueller called establishing the \"sexuality connection\" in reproductive health—not only would garner a more accurate understanding of sexuality and sexual risk reduction, but also would acknowledge women as sexual agents rather than merely as sexual victims or as \"targets\" of contraceptive programs and HIV prevention efforts.",
"\n\nDuring the nearly 15 years since Dixon-Mueller’s article was published, many important developments regarding sexuality have occurred within the family planning field. ",
"Most symbolically, the phrase \"reproductive health\" has been superseded by \"sexual and reproductive health,\" and the terms \"sexual health\" and \"sexual rights\" increasingly appear in public health and human rights discourse.*2 The HIV/AIDS epidemic has highlighted the desperate need for better data on sexual behaviors and spurred collaborations between clinicians and social scientists who study sexuality.3 This very journal changed its name from Family Planning Perspectives to Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health in 2002, reflecting that its focus encompasses topics related not only to pregnancy prevention but also to HIV/AIDS, sexuality and men’s reproductive health, among others. ",
"Thus, at least at first glance, the reproductive health field has opened its doors to deeper explorations of sexuality.",
"\n\nThreats to women’s sexual and reproductive well-being have been especially well documented during the past 10–15 years. ",
"An impressive body of work reveals the ways in which women’s sexual autonomy—and thus their pregnancy and disease prevention practices—are limited by gender inequalities at both individual and structural levels. ",
"At the individual level, gender-based violence,4–9 nonvolitional sex10,11 and relationship power imbalances12,13 all have been associated with reduced sexual autonomy and thus greater vulnerability to unintended pregnancy, HIV and other STDs, and reproductive morbidity14 and mortality. ",
"At the structural level, the combination of poverty and gender inequality leads many women to exchange sex for money, clothing, gifts and other goods—yet another risk factor for HIV infection and other adverse reproductive health outcomes.15–17 This literature has significantly deepened our understanding of how experiencing sexual harm influences women’s sexual and reproductive health and risk.",
"\n\nHowever, the ways in which the positive aspects of sexual experience contribute to women’s sexual health and risk are little understood. ",
"Despite a few notable exceptions,18,19 the public health research community has largely failed to explore the factors that contribute to optimal sexual functioning for women or the ways in which sexual pleasure-seeking (as opposed to love-seeking or money-seeking) influences women’s risk for unintended pregnancy and disease. ",
"This \"pleasure deficit\" inspired a 2006 review in The Lancet,20 in which the authors called for the promotion of pleasure in HIV and other STD prevention programs, and warned that negative messages about sexuality can undermine, rather than promote, effective condom use.",
"\n\nNotably, the authors of the Lancet review suggested that acknowledgment and discussion of pleasure has been absent from all areas of HIV and other STD programming, and not just those pertaining to women. ",
"However, at least some research has focused on the ways in which the desire for pleasure motivates men to take sexual risks. ",
"For example, several studies have examined the role of pleasure in men’s decisions to have anal intercourse with other men without using condoms (\"barebacking\"),21–23 and others have documented heterosexual men’s lack of interest in using male condoms during vaginal sex because they diminish sexual pleasure.24–27 These studies provide some insight into the ways in which men’s desires for sexual enjoyment shape their willingness to use male condoms. ",
"They also explore how cultural norms about masculinity, such as the social benefits for men of sexual conquest and virility, can influence men’s pleasure-seeking.28–30 In stark contrast, relatively little research has examined women’s pleasure-seeking and how it influences their sexual and contraceptive behaviors.",
"\n\nBelow, we discuss in greater detail some examples of the \"pleasure deficit\" for women in sexual and reproductive health research and programs, and highlight areas for future research.",
"\n\nRESEARCH AND PROGRAMMING\n\nWomen and Male Condoms\n\nThe public health approach to women’s and their partners’ use of male condoms has evolved significantly since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. ",
"Many public health programs seek to strengthen women’s skills to negotiate with male partners for condom use. ",
"However, a substantial body of research suggests that gender inequality (particularly in the social and financial realms) makes it difficult—and sometimes impossible—for women to ensure condom use.13,31–34 Furthermore, even when women are able to negotiate for condom use, they may not want to do so, because some women view condoms as incompatible with sex that is intimate, loving and monogamous.35–39 Thus, women’s social, emotional and financial dependence on both men13 and romantic relationships40 can make it difficult for them to encourage male partners to use condoms.",
"\n\nIn comparison, women’s sexual resistance to condoms has been relatively unexplored. ",
"Theorists within the HIV field have developed behavioral models that directly41 or indirectly42 acknowledge the role of pleasure for both partners in shaping uptake and use of male condoms. ",
"In particular, the AIDS Risk Reduction Model asserts that how condoms feel matters to both women and men.41\n\nCertainly, the empirical literature suggests that many men do not like using condoms because they curtail sexual sensation.24–26 A 14-country study by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS found that men’s most frequently reported reason for not using condoms was reduced sexual pleasure.27\n\nIn sharp contrast, researchers rarely consider the possibility (although there have been a few exceptions43,44 ) that condoms’ effects on pleasure may alter women’s preferences or use patterns. ",
"Yet in our own qualitative research on sexual pleasure and contraceptive use in the southeastern United States, we found that a greater proportion of women than of men disliked the feeling of male condoms. ",
"Some women reported that condoms \"cover up\" sensation and exacerbate vaginal dryness, which led them to discontinue use.45 Systematic research is critically needed to examine how the desire for sexual pleasure (or, more broadly, the full range of reasons why women have sex) shapes women’s willingness to use male condoms.",
"\n\nResearch and Development\n\nMale condoms are not the only contraceptive method for which information on pleasure is lacking: Most contraceptive research and development has failed to collect information on how various methods influence women’s sexual functioning and enjoyment. ",
"Information is particularly scarce for hormone-based methods. ",
"Although the effects of hormonal contraceptives on ovulation have been extensively documented, these contraceptives’ potential effects on the increase in libido that women often experience during ovulation have received little attention.46,47 Nor have hormonal and other contraceptives’ effects on sexual pleasure, and thus on contraceptive preferences and practices, been extensively studied, even during new product development.48 This lack of attention to the sexual side effects of hormone-based methods for women is particularly striking when viewed against the concern with side effects evident in acceptability studies of hormonebased methods under development for men.49-51\n\nFortunately, the sexual dimensions of acceptability have received more attention in the development of microbicides52–57 and the female condom,58,59 both of which emerged from efforts to create female-controlled HIV prevention strategies (rather than from the family planning field).60 Ideally, all future contraceptive development and acceptability research will demonstrate the same concern for women’s sexual functioning as hormonal trials have for the sexual functioning of men.",
"\n\nContraceptive Use Patterns\n\nA pleasure deficit also exists in most research exploring the ways in which women use—or fail to use—the contraceptive methods currently on the market. ",
"Few systematic reviews exist of these methods’ effects on women’s libido, enjoyment, lubrication or ability to achieve orgasm, or of how such effects shape the uptake, continuation and consistency of use. ",
"Similarly, current behavioral models of contraceptive decision making suggest that a woman’s choice and consistent use of a particular method are related primarily to access, effectiveness, ease of use and the woman’s desire to limit or space births; models rarely consider how methods either enhance or detract from the sexual experience.",
"\n\nRelatively little research has examined women’s pleasure-seeking and how it influences their sexual and contraceptive behaviors.",
"\n\nData do suggest that a woman’s sexual experiences can shape contraceptive practices, and vice versa. ",
"Again, research on the female condom has been particularly innovative in this regard. ",
"A woman’s sexual comfort with and enjoyment of this method (influenced by such factors as the polyurethane’s enhancement of heat transfer and the potential for increased clitoral stimulation from the condom’s outer ring) reportedly contribute to uptake and continuation.58,59,61–63\n\nOther methods also have been studied for sexual acceptability, albeit less comprehensively. ",
"In a longitudinal study of new oral contraceptive users in the United States, researchers found that a decrease in users’ libido and sexual enjoyment was strongly associated with discontinuation.48 A South African study of an injectable progestin contraceptive found that many women disliked the increase in vaginal wetness that they experienced while using this method, a factor that hindered uptake.64 A study of tubal ligation revealed that a large majority of women experienced no consistent change in sexual interest following the procedure, and those who reported changes were more likely to experience an increase than a decrease in sexual interest and pleasure.65 In a study of the features most likely to shape contraceptive method choice, women ranked \"lack of interference with sexual pleasure\" as a \"very important\" contraceptive characteristic just as often as men did (30% of men, 28% of women).66 Similarly, our qualitative data suggest that the way contraceptives alter \"sexual aesthetics (sensation, libido, lubrication, spontaneity and other sexual attributes) matters to women and men equally, and shapes both the choice of method and the manner of use.45,67 However, only two participants out of 36 in our study reported that their practitioners had ever asked them about their preferred sexual aesthetics, their sexual functioning (e.g., orgasm, vaginal lubrication) or other issues pertaining to sexuality (besides sexual risk).",
"\n\nAlthough these studies suggest that the uptake and continuation of contraception is influenced by how the methods make sex feel, few studies have examined multiple forms of contraception simultaneously, and even fewer have gone beyond individual experience to examine the cultural and social dimensions of what makes sex enjoyable. ",
"Future research should develop a model of the ways in which contraception can eroticize or de-eroticize sex for women; doing this requires a better understanding of how women experience their bodies when using contraceptives, including both how pleasure is enhanced and how discomfort (as defined uniquely in each cultural setting) is diminished, as well as how these experiences influence contraceptive practice.45 Guided by findings from preliminary qualitative studies in this area, quantitative fertility and reproductive health surveys, such as the National Survey of Family Growth and the Demographic and Health Surveys, should systematically collect data on how various types of contraceptives affect participants’ sexual experience. ",
"Only then will it be possible to determine statistically the degree to which pleasure-seeking predicts sexual risk behavior, experience of unintended pregnancy and transmission of HIV and other STDs.",
"\n\nHowever, attention to women’s individual sexual experiences is not sufficient. ",
"These experiences should be linked to relational factors, such as power differentials within couples, and to social factors, such as gender inequality. ",
"For example, women may reject the use of male condoms because they diminish men’s pleasure, which may be a critical part of the women’s own sexual enjoyment; in contrast, men rarely express concern that methods for women detract from women’s enjoyment.45 Building upon innovative scholarship on adolescent sexuality,43,68–70 researchers in this area must continue to explore the ways in which women’s pleasure-seeking and contraceptive practices are shaped by their need for social affirmation and financial support from men.",
"\n\nUnintended Pregnancy and Contraceptive Use\n\nUnintended pregnancy has long been of concern to policymakers and sexual and reproductive health practitioners. ",
"More than half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended,71 and women and men at risk for unintended pregnancy are also vulnerable to HIV and other STDs. ",
"Most unintended pregnancies are caused by lack of contraceptive use, not by contraceptive failure.72,73 Current explanations for nonuse generally pertain either to women’s knowledge of or access to contraceptive services (or lack thereof) or to gender-based power imbalances in sexual relationships, which can render women unwilling or unable to negotiate for contraceptive use with their male partners.74 Researchers have yet to suggest that unprotected sex may feel better to women or that the risk of pregnancy may heighten the sexual experience.",
"\n\nIn contrast, the social science literature has explored some of the ways in which social constructions of pleasure motivate sexual behavior and HIV risk among men who have sex with men.75–77 Some scholars have demonstrated that barebacking has become eroticized in certain gay communities, even among men who understand the risk of HIV transmission.78 In some circumstances, social constructions of sexuality may mean that\"riskier\" sex is \"hotter\" sex.*23\n\nThe family planning field stands to gain from similar examinations of the eroticization of pregnancy risk. ",
"One preliminary study found that an individual’s or couple’s temporary desire for a pregnancy during the heat of the sexual moment can lead to unprotected sex, even though a baby is not wholly desired (i.e., one or both partners are ambivalent about pregnancy).79 During the first author’s tenure as an abortion clinic counselor, many clients described a temporary surrender to the fantasy of a pregnancy.80 Further, both women and men in our qualitative study indicated that the forging of intimacy between two people was an essential allure of sexual intercourse.45 In some instances, conception could become the ultimate extension of that closeness, even barring the desire for a pregnancy.81 We suggest that women and men may occasionally eroticize the possibility of a pregnancy with a particular partner, and that this desire could help explain their lack of contraceptive use.",
"\n\nThe literature on HIV risk and barebacking provides a strong foundation for this idea, although the bare-backing findings are not completely applicable to sex between women and men. ",
"Not only are the power dynamics different in heterosexual and same-sex couples, but the consequences of \"risking\" an unintended pregnancy differ from those of risking an HIV infection. ",
"Pregnancy, at least on some occasions, may be generative, life-affirming and relationship-strengthening. ",
"The field requires theoretical and empirical research on how the eroticization of pregnancy risk and the \"heat of the moment\" shape sexual risk practices, particularly if unintended pregnancy prevention remains an ongoing policy priority.",
"\n\nContraceptive Marketing and Programming\n\nTo promote the adoption of disease prevention practices, particularly among men who have sex with men, a number of condom promotion campaigns in the United States have eroticized condom use. ",
"The condom advertisements, training materials, and clinic pamphlets and posters created for these campaigns stand in marked contrast to comparable contraceptive materials, which often portray women as medical consumers but not necessarily sexual agents. ",
"Ads generally tout these methods’ noncontraceptive benefits or convenience, but not their potential contribution to enjoyable, exciting or spontaneous sex. ",
"Similarly, advertisements for erectile dysfunction drugs broadcast sexy images of couples kissing, cuddling or dancing, whereas contraceptive advertisements often depict a highly sanitized, de-eroticized version of sexuality, if they allude to sex at all. ",
"Most contraceptive ads show a woman by herself, exercising, dressing for work, shopping or taking part in other solitary activities—images that seem based on a vision of middle-class women as autonomous and responsible.",
"\n\nIn our qualitative study, middle-class women spoke about the benefits and pleasures of buying and using contraceptives.45 Procuring contraceptives was an important part of how they—as young women just beginning their sexual lives—took care of themselves. Many women spoke about methods’ noncontraceptive benefits, such as their effects on acne and on the extent and timing of menstruation. ",
"Women literally buy into the corporate marketing of contraceptives: Several even used the phrase\"the pill that clears your skin,\" a direct quote from a 1990s marketing campaign for a particular oral contraceptive. ",
"Although pharmaceutical companies have done little to explore the sexual side effects of contraceptive methods in their research and development processes, they could nonetheless play a role in addressing the pleasure deficit by highlighting sexual pleasure in the marketing of contraceptives. ",
"Use of contraceptives might increase if the methods were marketed to women and men in the same way that condoms and erectile dysfunction drugs are (e.g., “the pill that increases sexual spontaneity!”). ",
"Sexual and reproductive health clients could be well served by further explorations of the feasibility and benefits of eroticizing contraceptives.",
"\n\nFUTURE DIRECTIONS\n\nDespite the outpouring of HIV-related research on sexual behaviors in the last 10–15 years, the family planning field remains largely remiss in terms of Dixon-Mueller’s\"sexuality connection,\"1 specifically regarding the positive aspects of sexuality. ",
"However, there are certainly exceptions to this pleasure deficit.",
"\n\nSeveral family planning programs have already incorporated sexuality into their frameworks or have suggested such incorporation.82 (We should note that some of these programs are more than a decade old; surprisingly few have followed suit, providing another illustration of the pleasure deficit.) ",
"A Population Council program in Latin America and the Caribbean trained\n\nfamily planning counselors to discuss their clients’ sexual relationships and practices before recommending certain methods over others and to review these issues during follow-up visits.83 Similarly, our research has led us to advocate for \"pleasure profiling,\" in which a client’s relationship and preferences for wetter, drier, \"natural\" or more spontaneous sex are considered before contraceptive recommendations are made.45 For this approach to work optimally, culturally appropriate models of sexuality must be developed, implemented and evaluated, because women define and seek pleasure in different ways, both across and within cultural settings.",
"\n\nAlong similar lines, offering sexuality training to health care providers more generally (and not just to family planning counselors) holds promise as a strategy to better meet women’s and men’s sexual health needs. ",
"Few clients report that health care practitioners ever ask them about sex, despite the evidence suggesting that such discussions—not merely those about sexual risk, but also about positive sexual experiences and satisfaction—yield significant benefits.84,85 Although most clients would welcome such dialogues,85 few feel comfortable initiating them on their own. ",
"In turn, providers often feel uncomfortable discussing sex with their clients or feel ill equipped to have such conversations.86 In response, one team of researchers has proposed a series of questions that clinicians may wish to ask clients as part of a proactive sexual health history,84 and others have produced alternative sexuality guidelines and training programs to support both providers and clients.87-90\n\nOther auspicious approaches focus on the client level, rather than on the provider level. ",
"The Pleasure Project (<www.the-pleasure-project.org>), a United Kingdom– based nonprofit organization, aims to \"put the sexy back into safer sex\" by promoting the use of sex toys and sexual techniques that eroticize condom use (e.g., applying a condom to a partner’s penis with one’s mouth). ",
"In addition to hosting a flashy, user-friendly Web site, the project generates support among public health practitioners at venues such as the International AIDS Conference and sponsors academic research in this area. ",
"Time will tell if such initiatives will be fundable and feasible, especially in the current political climate.",
"\n\nCHALLENGES, CAUTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS\n\nWe have highlighted a few initiatives that may serve as useful models for family planning practitioners. ",
"Yet, as the Lancet review notes, the few programs that have attempted to \"promote protection and pleasure\" have been small, unevaluated or based on anecdotal evidence.20 Furthermore, even if proven effective through evaluation, micro-level behavioral interventions are limited in their ability to change culture or social structure.3 For example, the programs described above can do little to address the broad social and cultural forces that make pleasureseeking easier and more important for men than for women, or that limit women’s sexual enjoyment by fueling gender-based sexual and physical violence. ",
"Similarly, systemic change will be required to alter the troubling assumptions about sexuality and reproduction that are alive and well within our field—for example, the belief that pregnancy prevention is primarily, if not entirely, women’s responsibility,91 or the notion that sexual pleasure is irrelevant to women, especially in developing countries.",
"\n\nAnother challenge to future work in this area is that pleasure-based initiatives may inadvertently perpetuate gender inequality. ",
"For example, some authors have cautioned against the promotion of a gender-neutral\"right to sexual pleasure\" as a basic human right, arguing that men’s demands for sexual pleasure can infringe on women’s human rights.29 Globally, men have more access to sexual enjoyment and autonomy than women do,13 and men’s pleasure is likely to take precedence over women’s pleasure,27 potentially leading to the abandonment of male condom use or to the eroticization of men’s sexual domination.",
"\n\nWell-intentioned sexuality programs could also enforce existing unequal gender norms. ",
"For example, we have heard about sex technique workshops for married women in countries in which men’s extramarital affairs fuel the spread of HIV. ",
"The basic premise of these programs is that greater sexual knowledge and comfort could discourage men’s infidelity and thus reduce the risk of HIV transmission. ",
"Undoubtedly, many women could benefit from workshops in which they gain familiarity and comfort with their sexual selves. ",
"At the same time, however, such programs may fail to address issues such as men’s abuses of their male privilege and their greater access to opportunities for extramarital sex.",
"\n\nResearchers and program developers…should work from the notion that the way sex feels matters to women.",
"\n\nAnother example of a program that both reflects and perpetuates existing gender roles is one that promotes the use of male condoms by highlighting the advantages of delayed ejaculation. ",
"In India, the Kohinoor Xtra Time brand of condom is coated with a lubricant containing local anesthetic, which its promoters say enables longer lasting, and thus more pleasurable, intercourse.20 Such an advertising campaign could unintentionally reinforce pressure on men to fulfill expectations (their own or others’) as sexual performers. ",
"Performance anxiety contributes to men’s sexual dysfunction, including erectile difficulties,92 which in turn have been associated with condom misuse and nonuse.93–95 Both this example and that of the sex technique programs underscore the advantages and disadvantages of working within dominant constructions of masculinity to promote sexual and reproductive health.96,97 Furthermore, evidence on the average amount of time that women, either in India or in most other cultural settings, want to engage in vaginal intercourse is limited. ",
"More research on both women’s and men’s sexual preferences and needs would be warranted before large-scale condom campaigns aimed at lengthening pleasure are initiated.",
"\n\nWe hope that any future work in this area will explore pleasure in relation to gender and power. ",
"A thorough understanding of pleasure-seeking behaviors requires consciousness both of social inequality and of crosscultural and intracultural differences in the ways in which women and men seek pleasure. ",
"Future research should develop models to capture the various aspects of pleasure, and explore how masculinity and femininity shape these pleasures in each research setting.",
"\n\nDespite these challenges, we have tried to suggest the importance of pleasure-seeking to sexual and reproductive health. ",
"Researchers and program developers can no longer assume that the sexual aspects of family planning are irrelevant to women. ",
"Rather, they should work from the notion that the way sex feels matters to women, and that recognizing and addressing this aspect of women’s lives will positively influence sexual risk behaviors—and more broadly, their sexual health and well-being.",

"Dr. Wee's long-term goal is to become an independent clinical and health services researcher in obesity, with a focus on improving the management of patients with obesity in primary care. ",
"Many common diseases seen in primary care practice are consequences of obesity. ",
"Yet obesity continues to be largely ignored by primary care physicians. ",
"Reasons for this lack of physician effort include time constraints, lack of training, and skepticism about the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of obesity treatment. ",
"Additionally, patients with obesity may receive lower quality of care. ",
"For example, patients with obesity appear to be less likely to undergo screening for breast and cervical cancer. ",
"This application proposes three studies that address important issues in obesity research. ",
"First, Dr. Wee plans to test the reliability and validity of a questionnaire she developed that examines the value primary care patients place on weight loss. ",
"The quantitative assessment of patient preferences or health values is a way to measure quality of life and is important for clinical decision-making, policy formulation, and formal cost-effectiveness analyses of weight control strategies and recommendations. ",
"Dr. Wee then proposes a decision analysis that examines the cost-effectiveness of various weight control strategies and estimates the minimum effectiveness and maximum cost associated with cost-effective treatment. ",
"Finally, Dr. Wee proposes to lead the development of a patient and physician directed web-based obesity assessment and education tool in preparation for a subsequent full scale randomized controlled trial. ",
"She will examine the feasibility of the intervention, and in a pilot study, determine whether it shows promise by improving the rate and quality of physician counseling about weight control and physical activity. ",
"She will also examine its effect on patients' diet and physical activity, patients' stage of change for weight control behaviors, and the rate of cancer screening. ",
"This career development award will allow Dr. Wee to acquire additional research skills and experience under the mentorship of nationally and internationally known researchers in a supportive academic environment. ",
"Completing these objectives will enhance her ability to conduct patient-centered research and to achieve her career goal of becoming an independent patient-oriented researcher in obesity."

"Post navigation\n\nDecember 15, 2006\n\nIn This Issue\n\nSen. James Inhofe (R-OK) ended his tenure as Chairman of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee with a final hearing aimed at castigating the press for its coverage of climate change. ",
"Spotlighting both mainstream broadcast and print reporters, the three-term senator argued that man-made climate change is a media-driven phenomenon that does not have sufficient science to back it up. ",
"Inhofe’s invited witnesses supported his view.",
"\n\nSeveral Democrats on the EPW Committee, as well as a prominent scientist who testified at the hearing, contradicted Inhofe and his witnesses. ",
"Incoming EPW Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said she disagreed with the hearing’s premise and vowed to shift course when she takes the gavel in January. “",
"We’re arguing over who believes what, rather than moving toward solving the problem,” she said. “",
"Attacking the press doesn’t make the truth go away.”",
"\n\nThe Department of Energy (DOE) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are among the federal agencies that — like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — will see some of their libraries shuttered this year as part of a larger effort to cut costs and shift resources online.",
"\n\nAll together, six federal libraries are closed or closing, while several more are reducing hours and staff. ",
"The DOE headquarters library that collected literature for government scientists and contractors closed this year as well as the General Services Administration headquarters library. ",
"Patrons were able to conduct research on real estate, telecommunications and government finance at the library. ",
"The NASA library in Greenbelt, MD, is also slated to close.",
"\n\nA Bush Administration official defended plans for shuttering several U.S. EPA libraries but also said destruction of some reference materials has been halted pending an inquiry by congressional Democrats. ",
"He added, “EPA has rescheduled the recycling of non-EPA duplicate or obsolete materials until questions by a few members of Congress have been addressed.”",
"\n\nThe U.S. Forest Service (USFS) will no longer have to conduct a full-blown environmental impact statement when they write new forest plans, under a final rule the USFS will publish after a two-year delay. ",
"The USFS announced it has completed a review that determined the writing of management plans and amendments has no effect on the environment, qualifying individual plans for categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).",
"\n\nUntil recently, categorical exclusions were used for small projects such as expanding a campground or administrative building, but the Bush Administration has expanded the use to small timber and salvage logging projects, and now, management plans for the first time.",
"\n\nThe incoming Chairman of the House Resources Committee, Nick Rahall (D-WV), and environmental advocates objected to the rule, saying removing the NEPA study will limit the public’s ability to comment and influence USFS actions. ",
"Rahall and Rep. Tom Udall (D-NM) incoming Ranking Member of the Forests Subcommittee, wrote a letter asking the Agriculture Department to withdraw the proposed rule.",
"\n\nMike Leahy, an attorney at Defenders of Wildlife, said that forest plans make fundamental decisions because they allocate certain areas to be managed for logging or mining and allow for certain amounts of motorized recreation, drilling and logging. “",
"Those decisions have an impact on the environment and the whole idea of studying that on a forest-wide level is you consider the forest-wide and cumulative impacts,” Leahy said.",
"\n\nIncoming Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom Harkin (D-IA) said he plans to rewrite the Farm Bill in 2007 with a focus on payments for energy and conservation and new approaches to farm support programs. ",
"Harkin indicated he may be willing to consider an overhaul of farm payments that would promote energy and conservation at the expense of some traditional commodity subsidies.",
"\n\nHarkin and incoming House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-MN) have both identified the budget baseline as their first big hurdle in drafting the new bill. ",
"The 2002 Farm Bill added a host of new conservation and energy programs, but it was also written in a time of budget increases.",
"\n\nWith the assumption that the 2007 bill will not see huge budget gains, some environmental and sustainable agriculture groups have called for cuts to commodity payments to free more spending for conservation and bring the United States more in line with World Trade Organization recommendations.",
"\n\nHarkin said “everything is on the table” as he drafts the new bill — including programs to help farmers transition to energy crops, as well as storage, transportation and new equipment for the crops. ",
"He said he is also considering merging the Conservation Security Program with energy production.",
"\n\nAn Army Corps of Engineers’ plan to speed up rebuilding in coastal Mississippi has sparked a battle between environmentalists and homebuilders over the proposal’s effect on wetlands that serve as critical buffers for flooding along the Gulf of Mexico. ",
"At issue are proposed”general” permits for Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl River, Stone and George counties, which were hit hard by Hurricane Katrina. ",
"The permits would allow builders to fill as many as five acres of wetlands per project.",
"\n\nUnder Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, discharge of dredged or fill material into “navigable waters” requires a Corps permit — either a nationwide general permit that allows a landowner to fill up to a half acre or an individual permit that applies to wetlands larger than a half acre. ",
"Under the proposed rule, if activities are expected to have minimal environmental impact, the Corps can issue a general permit, or a blanket authorization, without the usual opportunity for public input required for individual permits.",
"\n\nOne safeguard built into the permits by the Corps to ensure that environmental degradation does not occur is that permits can only be used in a “low quality” wetland. ",
"Army Corps spokesman Pat Robbins said general permits would not apply to tidal wetlands or non-tidal wetlands that are adjacent to tidal waters, which are considered higher quality wetlands.",
"\n\nCongress approved wider offshore oil and gas drilling before it adjourned, opening 8.3 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico but stopping short of the major dismantling of leasing bans sought by several industries. ",
"The Senate approved the drilling bill as part of a broad tax package that passed 79-9 after the House approved the measure. ",
"The package, which now heads to President Bush’s desk, also extends several energy tax incentives, including tax credits for wind and solar projects.",
"\n\nThe leasing provisions provide access to an area estimated to contain 1.26 billion barrels of oil and 5.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. ",
"It steers 37.5 percent of gulf production royalties to four Gulf Coast states — Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. ",
"The revenue will not be available, however, for at least a decade. ",
"Despite the time lag, the money is a major victory for Louisiana lawmakers who say it will help restore coastal wetlands and boost hurricane protections. ",
"The measure also includes a no-drill buffer for Florida needed to gain the support of that state’s lawmakers.",
"\n\nThe bill also contains energy tax language, extending through 2008 several tax breaks that were set to expire at the end of next year, including the wind energy tax credit and credits for biomass and geothermal facilities. ",
"The bill extends for one year the 30 percent tax credit for the purchase of residential solar water heating, solar electric equipment and fuel cell property, as well as the 30 percent business tax credit for the purchase of fuel cell power plants and solar equipment.",
"\n\nCongress approved a major overhaul in U.S. fisheries law, as the House passed a rewrite of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the nation’s largest fisheries law. ",
"The House votes followed the Senate’s approval of the bill, which is an altered compromise that Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) brokered at the last minute to push the act through the 109th Congress. ",
"President Bush released a statement praising passage of the act.",
"\n\nThe bill, H.R. 5946, would require fishery managers to end overfishing within two and a half years once a stock is found to be depleted. ",
"It keeps the current 10-year rebuilding deadline intact. ",
"It also authorizes “cap-and-trade” programs for fishing permits for the first time but adds some new limitations to the programs. ",
"The legislation also includes ecosystems-based management\n\nThe bill authorizes research for deep ocean corals and includes new protections for seabirds affected by fishing gear. ",
"It also calls on U.S. officials to take greater leadership to end pirate fishing on the high seas.",
"\n\nHowever, of particular concern to many groups is the bill’s language on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). ",
"Under current law, fishery managers must comply with environmental review and reporting requirements in both Magnuson and NEPA. ",
"Many of the requirements are the same, but they are on different timelines. ",
"Commercial fishers have called for streamlining the two to cut down on paperwork and confusion. ",
"The bill directs the Commerce Department to develop one uniform review process for fishery management that conforms with NEPA but is on Magnuson timelines. ",
"Environmental advocates have said even careful alterations may lose some of the case law that backs up NEPA and gives it more strong environmental protections.",
"\n\nPresident Bush signed a two-month long continuing resolution (CR), officially punting the majority of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 spending bills to the 110th Congress. ",
"The CR runs until Feb. 15, meaning the remaining spending bills will be among the first items the Democratic-controlled Congress will have to tackle next year. ",
"It applies to all of the FY 2007 spending bills except Defense and Homeland Security, which have already passed.",
"\n\nLooking ahead, Democrats have proposed a CR for the entire remainder of the fiscal year. ",
"This would fund federal agencies at one of the following levels: the House-passed appropriations bill, the Senate-passed appropriations bill, or the fiscal 2006 level- whichever is lower. ",
"These levels would continue until new appropriations bills are passed at the end of 2007. ",
"For more information on the funding status by agency, visit http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/approp07.htm.",
"\n\nA new Bush Administration policy that requires U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists to submit all reports and prepared talks to managers is angering some employees who say the review could prevent the public from receiving information. ",
"The new standards, introduced in July 2006, call for managers to determine whether scientists’ reports meet USGS’s scientific standards. ",
"They also mandate that employees inform the agency press office of any work involving “potential high visibility products or policy-sensitive issues.”",
"\n\nAlthough no instances of censorship were alleged yet, employees say they are worried. ",
"Previous Bush Administration impositions on the agency include a 2002 incident in which USGS warned that oil and natural gas drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would harm the Porcupine caribou herd. ",
"A week after its report, a new report came out saying the caribou would not be affected.",
"\n\nHowever, USGS Associate Director for Geology P. Patrick Leahy said the new standards were ensuring the scientific excellence of USGS products. ",
"USGS managers will be permitted to see the comments of outside peer reviewers, as well as exchanges between the reviewers and scientists who are trying to publish their findings."

"Stay on Top of Enterprise Technology Trends Get updates impacting your industry from our GigaOm Research Community\n\nSo here’s a couple ways to create a successful game online: a), Find an investor who’s crazy enough to give you millions of dollars, or b), Put it on a distribution network and hope you get enough customers willing to buy it as a download.",
"\n\nThen there’s c), Make a Flash mini-game, let people play it for free, and watch the ad revenue pour in when the site gets 20 million pageviews a month. ",
"That’s the option Paul Preece took with his phenomenally popular Desktop Tower Defense, and though he has no professional experience with game development, the Visual Basic programmer is now making, by his estimate, high four figures monthly for his ferociously viral little game.",
"\n\nAs such, it’s an ideal case study for an often-overlooked revenue model for online games, one that developers and investors would do well to learn from. ",
"Working with a low budget on a game designed for maximum stickiness, a small team of developers can create a single title which earns thousands yearly— or in Preece’s case, close to six figures. [",
"digg=http://digg.com/playable_web_games/Desktop_Tower_Defense_the_story_behind_the_hit_Flash_game]\n\nAfter the break, Preece explains some of the secrets to Tower’s success.",
"\n\n\n\nTake a Well-Known Genre, Make It Better\n\nThere are numerous “Tower Defense”-style games with the same premise—stop a horde of monsters by building a variety of defense towers. “",
"I have been mulling over doing a proper ‘mazing’ Tower Defense for a year or so,” Preece says, “but I felt that the learning curve for Flash was too great. ",
"Then a good friend of mine created the successful Flash Element Tower Defense, and when I chatted to him about his experience… it suddenly seemed much less difficult than I had thought it was.” [",
"His specific inspiration was a mini-game from one of Blizzard’s classic real-time strategy titles: “The basic map layout was based on Autumn Tower Defense, which was one of my favorite Warcraft III TDs.”] ",
"Though most of these games are fantasy-oriented, Preece gave his version a quirkier, more cartoonish feel, and added a number of elements that made it more viral— particularly a group-based ranking system which encourages competition between friends and co-workers.",
"\n\nPromote through Web Aggregation Sites\n\n“I didn’t do any promotion of the game beyond sticking it on StumbleUpon.com,” Preece tells me. “",
"It gave the game a slow start for a week or so— which was good to weed out the bugs. ",
"Then it got ‘picked up’ by a few large game sites, then Digg and then I-am-bored.com. ",
"When DTD got Dugg the first time, the server overloaded and I realized that it was becoming popular game.”",
"\n\nHow popular? “",
"I am unsure as to the number of unique visitors,” he says. “",
"My logs show 4 million visitors and 20 million page views for April. ",
"The game itself has had 9 million plays during April (excluding older versions).”",
"\n\nDebuting in March, his site, http://www.handdrawngames.com, is already among Alexa’s top ten thousand sites.",
"\n\nProfit Through Ad Revenue and Keep the Budget Low\n\nDTD’s main revenue source is AdSense, but with its avalanche of popularity, advertisers have approached Preece directly, leading to “Affiliate deals, sponsorship, custom versions for other companies etc. ",
"The last two are in the pipeline but I thought I’d add them in at a low level.”",
"\n\nPreece’s main expense is running the server. “",
"Hosting fees are negligible,” he says, “at $130 per month. ",
"But I am getting very close to the 1200GB bandwidth allocation!” ",
"That plus “the continuous supply of late night Red Bull” comprise the bulk of Desktop’s budget.",
"\n\n“I do feel that with a little more market place knowledge I could make a good living from DTD until it stops being popular,” Preece e-mails me. “",
"With less popular games I would probably need two-three on the go every month to make a good living. ",
"That would equate to releasing a game every month which I think is doable.”",
"\n\nBut what’s that odd voice you hear, when you win the game? “",
"It comes from a children’s cartoon I grew up with in the UK called ‘Ivor The Engine’,” Preece explains. “",
"It was about a Welsh train, which is where the accent comes from.” ",
"But keeping the budget low is his main consideration. ",
"So, he adds, “I have removed it in the next version for bandwidth reasons.”",
"\n\n\n\nUpdate, 5/28: Added Preece’s acknowledgement of Warcraft III as an inspiration for DTD."

"In sections 2-6 of Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche\nintroduces four important themes that run\nthrough the rest of the work.",
"\nIn section 2, the theme is his opposition\nto metaphysical/Platonic/Christian otherworldliness.",
"\nThe mark of a metaphysical thinker is his\nfaith in opposed value pairs—it is this\nfaith, or prejudice, that Nietzsche intends\nto overcome in his philosophy.",
"\nThe will to truth that characterizes these\nphilosophers may itself be a manifestation\nof deeper, instinctive human drives working\nthrough them, Nietzsche suggests.",
"\nAnd the philosophical ‘truths’ they have\nattained may be provisional perspectives only,\nto be replaced by a fuller, deeper worldview\nlater on.",
"\nIn this spirit, Nietzsche calls for “philosophers\nof the dangerous maybe,” who will ask and\nanswer the question of the deeper roots of\nthe will to truth.",
"\nSuch philosophers are coming, he says.",
"\nWe may see this as an echo of Socrates’\nprophecy of future philosophers at the end\nof Plato’s Apology.",
"\nThe theme of section 3 is the deeper physiological\ndrives that shape philosophers’ works.",
"\nPhilosophy, and even logic, Nietzsche says,\nare the result of these unconscious drives.",
"\nThe conscious thoughts and writings of philosophers\nare channeled and guided by their root instincts.",
"\nPhilosophical reasoning is not the ground\nfloor of the human self, so to speak.",
"\nIt is more like the 3rd or 4th floor, and\nthe hidden drives and instincts lie below them.",
"\nEach philosopher’s teachings reflect his\ninner psychology, rather than his rational\ngrasp of external realities.",
"\nThe factor that drives all philosophies is\nthe demand for the preservation of a certain\ntype of life.",
"\nThis, we will see shortly, is the will to\npower.",
"\nIn section 4, Nietzsche moves beyond the will\nto truth, beyond true and false, we might say.",
"\nHe notes that while life (which is will to\npower) might be served by finding and believing\nthe truth, it may be that life also demands\nfalsehood, in order to prosper and grow.",
"\nBut even to ask whether this is the case is\nto stand beyond good and evil, true and false, already.",
"\nNietzsche aims to resist philosophers’ accustomed\ntables of value, looking instead for something\ndeeper than the will to truth.",
"\nHe is acting here a psychologist as much as\na philosopher.",
"\nSection 5 serves as a lead-in to the last\nmajor theme in section 6.",
"\nHere Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of\nbeing naïve, but also of failing to be sufficiently\nhonest, with themselves and with their readers.",
"\nNietzsche’s dose of honesty comes in section\n6, where he introduces the theme that philosophy\nand morality are ultimately expressions of\ntheir author’s personality and deep psychology.",
"\nSo philosophical doctrines and systems come\nnot from the truth of things, and a will to\ngrasp that truth, but rather from the personal\ncharacter of the one philosophizing.",
"\nA man’s moral doctrines reflect who he is,\nrather than his character being shaped by\nhis moral code.",
"\nPhilosophy, then, is ultimately a form of\npersonal testimony, and perhaps should be\nevaluated on personal rather than impersonal\nterms.",
"\nThis suggests a new way of doing philosophy.",
"\nWe might use it to critique, say, Kant’s\nphilosophy.",
"\nAnd we might bend it around to understand\nNietzsche’s project in this book.",
"\nHow does what he writes here reflect his own\ninner arrangement of instincts?",
"\nAre we to evaluate this book, not on whether\nits contents are ‘true’ or ‘false,’\nbut on whether the personality they express\nis one we approve of?",
"\nWe will address these and other questions\nas we work our way through the rest of the book.",
"\nThat’s a look at sections 2-6, from Part\nOne of Beyond Good and Evil.",
"\nThanks for watching today; goodbye.",

"The effect of high pressure and residual oxygen on the color stability of minced cured restructured ham at different levels of drying, pH, and NaCl.",
"\nColor stability of minced cured restructured ham was studied by considering the effects of high pressure (HP) (600 MPa, 13°C, 5 min), raw meat pH24 (low, normal, high), salt content (15, 30 g/kg), drying (20%, 50% weight loss), and residual oxygen level (0.02%-0.30%). ",
"Raw hams were selected by pH24 in Semimembranosus, mixed with additives, frozen, sliced, and dried by the Quick-Dry-Slice® (QDS) process followed by HP treatment or not (control). ",
"Packaging and storage simulated industrial packaging: modified atmosphere containing 80% N2, 20% CO2, and residual O2 in one of three intervals: <0.1%, 0.1%-0.2%, or 0.2%-0.3%, and retail storage conditions: chill storage, 12 h light, 12 h darkness. ",
"HP improved the stability of the redness of 20% QDS hams, while the stabilizing effect on 50% QDS hams was smaller, concluding that water has the dominating role. ",
"Raw meat pH24, salt content, and residual oxygen level had varying effects on the stability of the red color."

"The present invention relates to a time axis control method which is utilized during recording or playback of data such as video signals or audio signals on or from a medium such as a disk or magnetic tape.",
"\nFIG. ",
"1 shows an example of a method of time axis control for a video disk player. ",
"Reference numeral 1 denotes a video disk, and reference numeral 2 a spindle motor which rotates the video disk 1. ",
"A signal which is produced by a signal recording/playback unit including a pick-up (not shown in the drawings) is demodulated by a demodulator circuit 3, and the demodulated signal thus produced is transferred through a CCD (charge coupled device) 4 which serves as a fine time axis adjustment unit. ",
"Part of the resultant output signal from the CCD 4 is supplied to a circuit 5 which performs sync separation and removal of equalizing pulses to thereby produce pulses which are synchronized with the playback horizontal sync signal. ",
"These pulses are input to a phase comparator 6 and are compared in phase therein with an input signal from a reference frequency oscillator 7. ",
"The output signal from this oscillator has the same frequency as the playback horizontal sync signal (i.e., 15.734 KHz in the case of the NTSC system and 15.625 KHz in the case of the PAL system). ",
"The phase error output signal which is output from the phase comparator 6 is transferred through an amplifier 8, equalizer 9, amplifier 10, equalizer 11 and amplifier 12 to the motor 2. ",
"In addition, the output signal from the equalizer 9 is applied to a VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) 13 to control the clock pulses which are appled to the CCD. ",
"In this way, coarse time axis control is performed by a loop including the demodulator circuit 3, CCD 4, sync separator circuit 5, phase comparator 6, amplifier 8, equalizer 9, amplifier 10, equalizer 11, amplifier 12 and motor 2. ",
"On the other hand, fine time axis control is performed by a loop comprising sync separator circuit 5, phase comparator 6, amplifier 8, equalizer 9, VCO 13 and CCD 4.",
"\nDuring a skip-scanning operation, in which the pick-up is alternately and successively set in a track jumping mode of operation whereby one or more tracks are skipped over, and a tracking servo mode of operation, in which the pick-up is made to follow along a track while time axis control is continued, playback of the video signal will take place during each of the intervals in which tracking occurs. ",
"Corresponding images will appear upon the monitor. ",
"Thus, such a skip-scan operation is analogous to looking up pages in a book.",
"\nIn the case of a type of CAV (constant angular velocity) disk in which the positions at which the horizontal and vertical sync signals are recorded are positioned along radial lines on the disk, no problems will arise with such scanning. ",
"However, in the case of a CLV (constant linear velocity) or a type of CAV (constant angular velocity) disk in which the positions at which the horizontal and vertical sync signals are recorded do not lie along the disk radius, discontinuities will arise between the signal phase prior to a track jumping operation and the phase subsequent to that operation. ",
"Thus, each time a track jump operation takes place, a large-amplitude error signal will be produced by the time axis servo system of the disk player, and hence a relatively long time will be required before stable operation is restored. ",
"In addition, there is a danger that erroneous operation may result due to the maximum compensation range of the CCD being exceeded. ",
"For this reason, when a comparatively large-amplitude time axis error is produced, the fine time axis adjustment unit constituted by the CCD loop is placed in the off state, and only the coarse time axis adjustment unit (i.e., the spindle motor servo loop) is set in operation. ",
"As a result, color sync is lost from the displayed monitor picture, causing a black-and-white image to be displayed. ",
"A further disadvantage of this method is that, when the scanning operation is terminated and normal playing is restarted, a relatively long time must elapse before time axis control can be stabilized, that is, to reduce the time axis error to a sufficiently low value. ",
"During that time, an objectionable coloration state will appear on the monitor display.",
"\nA proposed method of overcoming the problems described above is disclosed in Japanese Pat. ",
"No. ",
"58-98881. ",
"With that method, during a track jump operation, a hold condition is established for a frequency divider used as a counter. ",
"The hold state is implemented by a gate pulse which occurs during the interval in which a track jump operation takes place. ",
"In this way, it is proposed to ensure smooth continuity for the time axis error without disturbances occurring in the value of the error.",
"\nHowever, in fact, even when the technique described in the above-mentioned patent is employed, color disturbances still appear on the displayed monitor image due to disturbances of the time axis data while scanning operations are repetitively performed. ",
"This is due to the fact that, during the scanning operation, when the limit of the range of movement of the tracking mirror (which forms part of the signal recording/playback unit) is approached, a \"tracking servo loop open\" pulse is generated, which causes the mirror to be restored to a position close to the center of its range of movement. ",
"These \"tracking servo loop open\" pulses are generated in a manner which is unrelated to the period of the time axis error. ",
"Thus, when scanning operations are repetitively performed, problems will arise.",
"\nFirstly, although the time axis error is applied in a smoothly continuous fashion, the process of correction of the time axis error (commencing after each track jump operation when the CCD is reconnected) will begin from the condition existing immediately prior to that track jump, i.e., from a condition in which a certain amount of offset is contained in the error quantity.",
"\nAnother problem is that the distance between the center position of a track jump and the positions at which the jump begins and ends (measured radially along the disk surface) will correspond to a substantial number of tracks. ",
"Thus, in the case of a CLV disk, the speed of rotation of the spindle motor should change by an amount which corresponds to that radial position difference. ",
"However due to the slow speed of response of the spindle motor, it is necessary for this compensation to be performed by the CCD, which has a high speed of response. ",
"When such track jump operations are performed repetitively, the offset value (the operating point deviation) will tend to accumulate and gradually increase. ",
"If this can be compensated by appropriate rotation of the spindle motor, then no problem will arise. ",
"However, if a large amount of offset is generated within a short time interval, then the spindle motor will not be able to respond with sufficient rapidity, and eventually the limit of compensation by the CCD will be reached. ",
"Loss of display color and time axis disturbances will then result."

"Q:\n\nWhat's the JSLint approved way of creating a long string?",
"\n\nAs a preface, yes I'm aware that JSLint is more of a set of guidelines than rules.",
"\nWhile using JSLint to clean up some code that I inherited, there are a number of places where some URLs are used in strings. ",
"They're necessary for the script, but longer than the standard 50 character line-length.",
"\nI've been simply passing by those particular lines, as they're not an issue; however, it made me curious as to the best way to handle long string literals in JS code.",
"\nFor markup strings it makes sense to use string concatenation:\n'<div>' +\n '<h1>Foo</h1>' +\n '<p>Lorem ipsum</p>' +\n'</div>'\n\nHowever I don't think it makes sense for URLs:\n'http://example.com/foo/bar/baz/fizz/buzz/lorem/ipsum/etc/...'\n\nEDIT\nIt also doesn't make sense for certain hash values (such as used for an API key):\n//i.e. ",
"this made up string of me bashing on my keyboard\n'0aidf9ejvr0e9vjkilkj34ioijs90eu8f9948joljse890f90jiljoi4'\n\nA:\n\nYou could use something like\n[\n \"http://example.com\",\n \"foo\",\n \"bar\",\n \"baz\",\n ...\n \"lastSegment\"\n].join(\"/\");\n\nbut this doesn't look too readable. ",
"In general, certain coding guidelines explicitly remove the limit on the length of a string for URLs (it's the same with Java's import statements - those can be arbitrarily long.)",
"\n\nA:\n\nI think that your question can't have only one correct answer. ",
"There are many ways of writing long strings in JavaScript and it's mostly the matter of taste which one you choose. ",
"I can just describe here my point of view on the subject.",
"\nFirst of all you can use maxlen option of JSlint to change the default line length to any value which you like. ",
"For example\n/*jslint maxlen: 130 */\n\nBut I think you know the setting already.",
"\nI suppose that you can use some Minifiers of the JavaScript code for productive usage of your JavaScripts (like Closure Compiler, Microsoft Ajax Minifier or some other). ",
"How you can easy verify on the page the code\n// ==ClosureCompiler==\n// @compilation_level SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS\n// @output_file_name default.js\n// ==/ClosureCompiler==\n\n// ADD YOUR CODE HERE\nfunction hello(name) {\n var test = '<div>' +\n '<h1>Foo</h1>' +\n '<p>Lorem ipsum</p>' +\n '</div>';\n return test + name;\n}\nhello('New user');\n\nwill be minified to\nfunction hello(a){return\"<div><h1>Foo</h1><p>Lorem ipsum</p></div>\"+a}hello(\"New user\");\n\nand all the string constants will be concatenated. ",
"So you can format the code with the long string constants mostly so, that the code could be better read. ",
"The minifier will do the rest of the work for you.",
"\nIn the case of long URLs you can break long strings on any place which you find best from a logical point of view (I think it will always be on some '/' character). ",
"In most practical cases you have some baseURL which will be appended. ",
"So you can define the common project settings somewhere at the beginning of your file or in the separate JavaScript file\nvar baseLoremUrl = 'http://example.com/foo/bar/baz/fizz/buzz/lorem/';\n\nand use it later as\n'<a href=\"' + baseLoremUrl + 'ipsum/etc/' + '\">Click me!</a>'\n\nIf you have parameters which should be appended to URL like\n'http://example.com/foo/bar/baz/fizz/buzz/lorem?x=123&y=ABC'\n\nI use always\nbaseLoremUrl + '?' ",
"+ $.params({x: 123, y: 'ABC'})\n\nto make the code more readable from one side and to be sure that all parameters will be correctly encoded with respect of encodeURIComponent if it's needed.",
"\nAll above are the rules which I try to follow myself during writing my JavaScript code.",
"\n\n"

"\n\n It is the privilege of age to be garrulous; and as we have this\n week reached our Hundredth Number--an age to which comparatively\n few Periodicals ever attain--we may be pardoned if, on thus\n completing our first _Century of Inventions_, we borrow a few\n words from the noble author of that well-known work, and beg you,\n Gentle Reader, \"to cast your gracious eye over this summary\n collection and there to pick and choose:\" and when you have done\n so, to admit that, thanks to the kind assistance of our friends\n and correspondents, we have not only (like Master Lupton)\n presented you with _A Thousand Notable Things_, but fulfilled the\n objects which we proposed in the publication of \"NOTES AND\n QUERIES.\"",
"\n\n During the hundred weeks our paper has existed we have received\n from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France--from\n the United States--from India--from Australia--from the West\n Indies--from almost every one of our Colonies--letters expressive\n of the pleasure which the writers (many of them obviously scholars\n \"ripe and good,\" though far removed from the busy world of\n letters), derive from the perusal of \"_Notes and Queries_;\" and it\n is surely a good work to put to students so situated,\n\n \"---- all the learning that our time\n Can make them the receivers of.\"",
"\n\n And, on the other hand, our readers cannot but have noticed how\n many a pertinent Note, suggestive Query, and apt Reply have\n reached us from the same remote quarters.",
"\n\n Our columns have, however, not only thus administered to the\n intellectual enjoyment of our brethren abroad, but they have\n rendered good service to men of letters here at home: and We could\n set forth a goodly list of works of learning and research--from\n Mr. Cunningham's _Handbook of London Past and Present_, published\n when we had been but a few months in existence, down to Wyclyffe's\n _Three Treatises on the Church_, recently edited by the Rev. Dr.\n Todd--in which the utility of \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" is publicly\n recognised in terms which are highly gratifying to us.",
"\n\n We do not make these statements in any vainglorious spirit. ",
"We\n believe our success is due to the manner in which, thanks to the\n ready assistance of zealous and learned Friends and\n Correspondents, we have been enabled to supply a want which all\n literary men have felt more or less: and believing that the more\n we are known, and the wider our circulation, the greater will be\n our usefulness, and the better shall we be enabled to serve the\n cause we seek to promote. ",
"We feel we may fairly invite increased\n support for \"NOTES AND QUERIES\" on the grounds of what it has\n already accomplished.",
"\n\n And so, wishing ourselves many happy returns of this\n Centenary--and that you, Gentle Reader, may be spared to enjoy\n them, We bid you heartily Farewell!",
"\n\n\n\n\nNotes.",
"\n\n\nNOTE ON THE CALENDAR.",
"\n\nWhat every one learns from the almanac, over and above Easter and its\nconsequences for the current year, is that what happens this year is no\nindex at all to what will happen next year. ",
"And even those who preserve\ntheir almanacs, and compare them in long series, never have been able,\nso far as I know, to lay hands upon any law connecting the Easters of\ndifferent years, without having had recourse to the very complicated law\non which the whole calendar is constructed.",
"\n\nNevertheless there does exist a simple relation which reduces the\nuncertainty in the proportion of five to two; so that by means of one\npast almanac, we may name _two_ Sundays, one or the other of which must\nbe Easter Sunday. ",
"I have never seen this relation noticed, though I have\nread much (for these days) on the calendar: has any one of your readers\never met with it?",
"\n\nLet us make a _cycle_ of the days on which Easter day can fall, so that\nwhen we come to the last (April 25), we begin again at the first (March\n22). ",
"Thus, six days in advance of April 23, comes March 25; seven days\nbehind March 24, comes April 21.",
"\n\nThe following is the _rule_, after which come two cases of\n_exception_:--\n\nTake any year which is _not_ leap year, then, by passing over _eleven_\nyears, we either leave Easter day unaltered, or throw it back a week;\nand it is nearly three to one that we have to leave it unaltered. ",
"Thus\n1941 is not leap year, and eleven years more give 1952; both have April\n13 for Easter day; but of 1943 and 1954, the first gives April 25, the\nsecond April 18.",
"\n\nTake any year which _is_ leap year, then, by passing over _eleven_\nyears, we either throw Easter one day forward, or six days back; and it\nis about three to two that it will be thrown forward. ",
"Thus 1852 (leap\nyear) gives April 11, but 1863 gives April 5.",
"\n\nBut when, in passing over eleven years, we pass over 1700, 1800, or any\nGregorian omission of leap year, the common year takes the rule just\ndescribed for leap year; while, if we begin with leap year, the passage\nover eleven years throws Easter _two_ days forward, or _five_ days back.",
"\nThere is another class of single exceptions, occurring at long\nintervals, which it is hardly worth while to examine. ",
"The only case\nwhich occurs between 1582 and 2000, is when the first year is 1970.",
"\n\nAny number of instances may be taken from my _Book of Almanacs_, and the\ngeneral rule may be easily seen to belong also to the old style. ",
"Those\nwho understand the construction of the calendar will very easily find\nthe explanation of the whole.",

"\n\n\nINEDITED LETTERS OF SWIFT.",
"\n\n [By the great kindness of a correspondent who has placed at our\n disposal two hitherto inedited letters written by Swift, we are\n enabled to present the following literal copies of them to our\n readers.",
"\n\n They are obviously addressed to Frances Lady Worsley, only\n daughter of Thomas Lord Viscount Weymouth, and wife of Sir Robert\n Worsley, Baronet, and the mother of Lady Carteret. ",
"In Sir Walter\n Scott's edition of Swift's _Works_ (vol. ",
"xvii. ",
"p. 302.) ",
"will be\n found one letter from the Dean of St. Patrick to Lady Worsely; and\n in vol. ",
"xviii. ",
"p. 26. ",
"is the letter from that lady to the Dean\n which accompanied the escritoire alluded to in the second of the\n two letters which we now print. ",
"This appears from Swift's\n endorsement of it--\"Lady Worsley, with a present of a writing-box\n japanned by herself.\"]",
"\n\n\"Madam,--It is now three years and a half since I had the Honor to see\nYour Ladyship, and I take it very ill that You have not finished my Box\nabove a Month. ",
"But this is allways the way that You Ladyes treat your\nadorers in their absence. ",
"However upon Mrs. Barber's account I will\npardon You, because she tells me it is the handsomest piece of work she\never saw; and because you have accepted the honor to be one of her\nprotectors, and are determined to be one of her principall recommenders\nand encouragers. ",
"I am in some doubt whether envy had not a great share\nin your work, for you were I suppose informed that my Lady Carteret had\nmade for me with her own hands the finest box in Ireland; upon which you\ngrew jealous, and resolved to outdo her by making for me the finest box\nin England; for so Mrs. Barber assures me. ",
"In short, I am quite\noverloaden with favors from Your Ladyship and your Daughter; and what is\nworse, those loads will lye upon my Shoulders as long as I live. ",
"But I\nconfess my self a little ungrateful, because I cannot deny Your Ladyship\nto have been the most constant of all my Goddesses, as I am the most\nconstant of all your Worshippers. ",
"I hope the Carterets and the Worsleys\nare all happy and in health, and You are obliged to let Sir Robert\nWorsley know that I am his most humble Servant; but You need say nothing\nof my being so long his Rival. ",
"I hear my friend Harry is returning from\nthe fiery Zone, I hope with more money than he knows what to do with;\nbut whether his vagabond Spirit will ever fix is a question. ",
"I beg your\nLadyship will prevail on S'r Robert Worsley to give me a Vicarage in the\nIsle of Wight; for I am weary of living at such a distance from You. ",
"It\nneed not be above forty pounds a year.",
"\n\n\"As to Mrs. Barber, I can assure you she is but one of four Poetesses in\nthis town, and all Citizens' wives; but she has the vogue of being the\nbest: yet one of them is a Scholar, and hath published a new edition of\nTacitus, with a Latin dedication to My Lord Carteret.",
"\n\n\"I require that Your Ladyship shall still preserve me some little corner\nin your memory; and do not think to put me off onely with a Box, which I\ncan assure you will not contribute in the least to[1] ... my esteem and\nregard for Your Ladyship.... I have been always, and shall ever remain,\n\n \"Madam,\n\n \"Your Lady ...\n\n \"Obedient and ...\n humble...\n JON'N....\n\n\"Dublin, May 1're, 1731.\"",
"\n\n [Footnote 1: A small portion of the original letter has been lost.]",
"\n\n [As Lady Worsley's letter serves to explain several allusions in\n Swift's letters, and is obviously the one to which the second\n letter we print is the reply, we here insert it.]",
"\n\n\"August 6th, 1732.",
"\n\n\"Sir,--I flatter myself, that if you had received my last letter, you\nwould have favoured me with an answer; therefore I take it for granted\nit is lost.",
"\n\n\"I was so proud of your commands, and so fearful of being supplanted by\nmy daughter, that I went to work immediately, that her box might not\nkeep her in your remembrance, while there was nothing to put you in mind\nof an old friend and humble servant. ",
"But Mrs. Barber's long stay here\n(who promised me to convey it to you) has made me appear very negligent.",
"\nI doubt not but you think me unworthy of the share (you once told me) I\nhad in your heart. ",
"I am yet vain enough to think I deserve it better\nthan all those flirting girls you coquet with. ",
"I will not yield (even)\nto _dirty Patty_, whom I was the most jealous of when you were last\nhere. ",
"What if I am a great-grandmother, I can still distinguish your\nmerit from all the rest of the world; but it is not consistent with your\ngood-breeding to put one in mind of it, therefore I am determined not to\nuse my interest with Sir Robert for a living in the Isle of Wight[2],\nthough nothing else could reconcile me to the place. ",
"But if I could make\nyou Archbishop of Canterbury, I should forget my resentments, for the\nsake of the flock, who very much want a careful shepherd. ",
"Are we to have\nthe honour of seeing you, or not? ",
"I have fresh hopes given me; but I\ndare not please myself too much with them, lest I should be again\ndisappointed. ",
"If I had it as much in my power as my inclination to serve\nMrs. Barber, she should not be kept thus long attending; but I hope her\nnext voyage may prove more successful. ",
"She is just come in, and tells me\nyou have sprained your foot, which will prevent your journey till next\nsummer; but assure yourself the Bath is the only infallible cure for\nsuch an accident. ",
"If you have any regard remaining for me, you will shew\nit by taking my advice; if not, I will endeavour to forget you, if I\ncan. ",
"But, till that doubt is cleared, I am as much as ever, the Dean's\n\n \"Obedient humble Servant,\n\n \"F. WORSLEY.\"",
"\n\n [Footnote 2: Where her husband, Sir Robert Worsley, possessed the\n estate of Appuldercombe.]",
"\n\n\"Madam,--I will never tell, but I will always remember how many years\nhave run out since I had first the honor and happiness to be known to\nYour Ladyship, which however I have a thousand times wished to have\nnever happened, since it was followed by the misfortune of being\nbanished from You for ever. ",
"I believe you are the onely Lady in England\nthat for a thousand years past hath so long remembered a useless friend\nin absence, which is too great a load of favor for me and all my\ngratitude to support.",
"\n\n\"I can faithfully assure your Ladyship that I never received from You\nmore than one letter since I saw you last; and that I sent you a long\nanswer. ",
"I often forget what I did yesterday, or what passed half an hour\nago; and yet I can well remember a hundred particulars in Your\nLadyship's company. ",
"This is the memory of those who grow old. ",
"I have no\nroom left for new Ideas. ",
"I am offended with one passage in Your\nLadyship's letter; but I will forgive You, because I do not believe the\nfact, and all my acquaintance here joyn with me in my unbelief. ",
"You make\nexcuses for not sooner sending me the most agreeable present that ever\nwas made, whereas it is agreed by all the curious and skilfull of both\nsexes among us, that such a piece of work could not be performed by the\nmost dextrous pair of hands and finest eyes in Christendom, in less than\na year and a half, at twelve hours a day. ",
"Yet Mrs. Barber, corrupted by\nthe obligations she hath to you, would pretend that I over reckon six\nmonths, and six hours a day. ",
"Be that as it will, our best virtuosi are\nunanimous that the Invention exceeds, if possible, the work itself. ",
"But\nto all these praises I coldly answer, that although what they say be\nperfectly true, or indeed below the truth, yet if they had ever seen or\nconversed with Your Ladyship as I have done, they would have thought\nthis escritoire a very poor performance from such hands, such eyes, and\nsuch an imagination. ",
"To speak my own thoughts, the work itself does not\ndelight me more than the little cares you were pleased to descend to in\ncontriving ways to have it conveyed so far without damage, whereof it\nreceived not the least from without; what there was came from within;\nfor one of the little rings that lifts a drawer for wax, hath touched a\npart of one of the Pictures, and made a mark as large as the head of a\nsmall pin; but it touches onely an end of a cloud; and yet I have been\ncarefull to twist a small thread of silk round that wicked ring, who\npromiseth to do so no more.",
"\n\n\"Your Ladyship wrongs me in saying that I twitted you with being a\ngreat-grandmother. ",
"I was too prudent and carefull of my own credit to\noffer the least hint upon that head, while I was conscious that I might\nhave been great-grandfather to you.",
"\n\n\"I beg you, Madam, that there may be no quarrells of jealousy between\nYour Ladyship and My Lady Carteret: I set her at work by the authority I\nclaymed over her as your daughter. ",
"The young woman showed her\nreadynesse, and performed very well for a new beginner, and deserves\nencouragement. ",
"Besides, she filled the Chest with Tea, whereas you did\nnot send me a single pen, a stick of wax, or a drop of Ink; for all\nwhich I must bear the charge out of my own pocket. ",
"And after all if Your\nLadyship were not by I would say that My Lady Carteret's Box (as you\ndisdainfully call it instead of a Tea-chest) is a most beautiful piece\nof work, and is oftener used than yours, because it is brought down for\ntea after dinner among Ladyes, whereas my escritoire never stirrs out of\nmy closet, but when it is brought for a sight. ",
"Therefore I again desire\nthere may be no family quarrells upon my account.",
"\n\n\"As to Patty Blount, you wrong her very much. ",
"She was a neighbor's\nchild, a good Catholick, an honest Girl, and a tolerable Courtier at\nRichmond. ",
"I deny she was dirty, but a little careless, and sometimes\nwore a ragged gown, when she and I took long walks. ",
"She saved her money\nin summer onely to be able to keep a Chair at London in winter: this is\nthe worst you can say; and she might have a whole coat to her back if\nher good nature did not make her a fool to her mother and sanctifyed\nsister Teresa. ",
"And she was the onely Girl I coquetted in the whole half\nyear that I lived with Mr. Pope in Twitenham, whatever evil tongues\nmight have informed your Ladyship, in hopes to set you against me. ",
"And\nafter this usage, if I accept the Archbishoprick of Canterbury from your\nLadyship's hands, I think you ought to acknowledge it as a favor.",
"\n\n\"Are you not weary, Madam? ",
"Have you patience to read all this? ",
"I am\nbringing back past times; I imagine myself talking with you as I used to\ndo; but on a sudden I recollect where I am sitting, banished to a\ncountry of slaves and beggars; my blood soured, my spirits sunk,\nfighting with Beasts like St. Paul, not at Ephesus, but in Ireland.",
"\n\n\"I am not of your opinion, that the flocks (in either Kingdom) want\nbetter Shepherds; for, as the French say, 'a tels brebis tel pasteur:'\nand God be thanked that I have no flock at all, so that I neither can\ncorrupt nor be corrupted.",
"\n\n\"I never saw any person so full of acknowledgment as Mrs. Barber is for\nYour Ladyship's continued favors to her, nor have I known any person of\na more humble and gratefull spirit than her, or who knows better how to\ndistinguish the Persons by whom she is favored. ",
"But I will not honor\nmyself so far, or dishonor you so much, as to think I can add the least\nweight to your own naturall goodness and generosity.",
"\n\n\"You must, as occasion serves, Present my humble respects to My Lord and\nLady Carteret, and my Lady Dysert, and to S'r Robert Worsley.",

"\n\n\nNINEVEH INSCRIPTIONS.",
"\n\nThe accumulation of these treasures in London and Paris, leads to the\nbelief that they will soon be decyphered. ",
"The following remarks are\noffered in promotion of so desirable an object. ",
"It must be premised that\na printer, when requiring type from the type-founder for English books,\ndoes not order the same quantity for each letter; but, according to a\nscale adapted to the requirements of printing, he orders only so many of\neach letter as he is likely to use. ",
"That scale may be nearly represented\nin the following way: the letter _z_ being the one least used in\nEnglish, he will require\n\n Twice the number of letter z for letter x\n Twice also -- -- j\n 2-1/2 times -- -- q\n 4 \" -- -- k\n 6 \" -- -- v\n 8 \" -- -- b\n 8-1/2 \" -- -- p\n 8-1/2 \" -- -- g\n 10 \" -- -- y\n 10 \" -- -- w\n 15 \" -- -- m\n 15 \" -- -- c\n 17 \" -- -- u\n 20-1/2 \" -- -- l\n 21 \" -- -- f\n 22 \" -- -- d\n 31 \" -- -- r\n 32 \" -- -- h\n 40 \" -- -- s\n 40 \" -- -- n\n 40 \" -- -- o\n 41-1/2 \" -- -- i\n 42-1/2 \" -- -- a\n 45 \" -- -- t\n 60 \" -- -- e\n\nSuppose now a person to write English in cypher, using unknown\ncharacters for the well-known letters; it would be easy to decypher his\nwriting, _if of sufficient length_ to make the general rule acted on in\nthe printing trade applicable. ",
"The decypherer, by selecting each\ndistinct unknown character, and numbering them respectively, would find\nthat the character oftenest occurring was _e_, the next oftenest _t_,\nand so on to the character having the lowest number, being least used,\nwhich would of course be _z_. ",
"Persons accustomed to decypher European\ncorrespondence for diplomatic purposes, will pronounce best on the\npracticability of this method for the decyphering of modern languages.",
"\n\nIt is proposed then to apply the same method in the several languages\n_supposed_ nearest of kin to that of the Nineveh inscriptions. ",
"Without\nentering into the reasons for that opinion, it may suffice, for the\npresent purpose of illustration, to assume that the language of these\ninscriptions is Chaldee. ",
"To apply this method the numbers of each letter\noccurring in the Targum of Onkelos on Genesis, or the whole Pentateuch,\nshould be taken. ",
"This enumeration has been made as regards the Hebrew\n(see Bagster's _Family Bible_, at the end of Deuteronomy). ",
"The readiest\nmode of effecting such enumeration would be to employ twenty-two persons\nknowing the Chaldee letters, and to assign a letter to each, calling out\nto them each letter as it occurred in Onkelos, whilst each person kept\ncount of his own letter on a tally, and summing up the total gave in the\nresult to the reader _at the end of each chapter_. ",
"This would be\nnecessary with a view to ascertain what _quantity_ of unknown\ninscription was required to evolve the rule, as the proposed method is\nclearly inapplicable when the quantity of matter to be decyphered is\ninconsiderable.",
"\n\nHaving gone over sufficient ground to satisfy himself of the\n_certainty_ of the rule, the decypherer would next count the\nnumbers of each distinct character in all the cuneiform\ninscriptions accessible to him, making allowance for _final_\nletters, also for vowel points which may be attached to the\ncharacter, as in Ethiopic. ",
"Assuming the rule in Chaldee to be the\nsame as in Hebrew (it is in fact very different), he would find\nthe character oftenest occurring in the Nineveh inscriptions to be\n[Hebrew: Vav], the next [Hebrew: Mem], the rest in the following\norder as to frequency of occurrence, [Hebrew: Yod], [Hebrew: Tav],\n[Hebrew: Kaf], [Hebrew: He], [Hebrew: Alef], [Hebrew: Nun],\n[Hebrew: Lamed]; [Hebrew: Bet ?], [",
"Hebrew: Dalet ?], [",
"Hebrew:\nShin], [Hebrew: Bet ?], [",

"Hebrew: Tsadi], [Hebrew:\nAyin], [Hebrew: Samekh], [Hebrew: Tet]; the first letter, [Hebrew:\nVav], _vau_, occurring nearly seven times as often as [Hebrew:\nTet], _teth_. ",
"The order of the letters would, in fact, vary much\nfrom this in Chaldee; the servile letters being different would\nalone much disturb the assumed order, actually ascertained\nnevertheless, as respects the Hebrew letters, in the five books of\nMoses. ",
"One word as to the order in which the several languages\nshould be experimented on. ",

"\n\n\nSTANZAS IN \"CHILDE HAROLD.\"",
"\n\nThere is a famous passage in one of Lord Byron's most famous poems,\nwhich I am ashamed to confess that, though I am English born, and a\nconstant reader of poetry, I cannot clearly understand. ",
"It seems to\npresent no difficulties to anybody else, for it has been quoted a\nthousand times over and over, without any intimation that it is not as\nclear as light. ",
"It is in the sublime Address to the Ocean at the end of\nCanto IV. ",
"of _Childe Harold_, stanza 182.:",
"\n\n \"Thy shores are empires, changed in all save thee--\n Assyria, Greece, Rome, Carthage, what are they?",
"\n Thy waters wasted them while they were free,\n And many a tyrant since; their shores obey\n The stranger, slave, or savage; their decay\n Has dried up realms to deserts:--not so thou,\n Unchangeable save to thy wild waves' play--\n Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow--\n Such as creation's dawn beheld, thou rollest now.\"",
"\n\nI have copied out to the end of the stanza; for in fact it is not easy\nto stop the pen when copying such stanzas as these: but my business is\nwith the fourth and fifth lines only. ",
"In the fourth line, as you will\nobserve, a semicolon is inserted after the word \"since.\" ",
"I find it there\nin the first edition of the fourth canto of _Childe Harold_, published\nin 1818; it is there in the standard edition of Lord Byron's _Works_,\nissued by Murray about 1832; it is there in the splendid illustrated\nedition of _Childe Harold_ published by Murray in 1841,--one of the\nfinest books of the kind, if not the finest, that has yet done honour to\nthe English press. ",
"This punctuation is found, therefore, in the earliest\nedition that was issued, and in those on which the most care has been\nbestowed. ",
"Yet what is the sense which the lines thus punctuated present?",
"\n\n \"Thy waters wasted them [_i.e._ the empires] while\n they were free,\n And many a tyrant since.\"",
"\n\nThey waters wasted many a tyrant? ",
"How, in the name of wonder? ",
"What sort\nof an occupation is this to assign to the majestic ocean? ",
"Does the poet\nmean to assert that anciently it wasted empires, and now it only wastes\nindividuals. ",
"Absurd! ",
"Yet such is the only meaning, as far as I see,\nthat can be assigned to the lines as they stand.",
"\n\nIf the punctuation be altered, that is, if the semicolon after \"since\"\nbe removed, and a comma placed at the end of the line, the whole becomes\nluminous:\n\n \"Thy waters wasted them while they were free,\n And many a tyrant since their shores obey.\"",
"\n\nThat is (I beg pardon if I am unnecessarily explanatory), \"The waters\nwasted these empires while they were free, and since they have been\nenslaved,\"--an apt illustration of that indifference to human affairs\nwhich the poet is attributing to the ocean. ",
"The words, \"the stranger,\nslave, or savage,\" which follow in the next line, are to be taken in\nconnexion with the phrase \"many a tyrant,\" and as an enumeration of the\ndifferent sorts of tyrants to which these unhappy empires have been\nsubjected.",
"\n\nThis is my view of the sense of this famous passage: if any of your\ncorrespondents can point out a better, I can only say \"candidus\nimperti,\" &c.\n\nThere was a very elaborate article on Lord Byron's Address to the Ocean\nin _Blackwood's Magazine_ for October, 1848; but the writer, who\ndissects it almost line by line, has somehow, as is the wont of\ncommentators, happened to pass over the difficulty which stands right in\nhis way. ",
"To make up for this, however, he contrives to find new\ndifficulties of his own. ",
"The following is a specimen:\n\n \"Recite,\" he says, \"the stanza beginning,\n\n 'Thy shores are empires, changed in all save thee;'\n\n and when the sonorous roll has subsided, try to understand it. ",
"You\n will find some difficulty, if we mistake not, in knowing who or\n what is the apostrophized subject. ",
"Unquestionably the world's\n ocean, and not the Mediterranean. ",
"The very last verse we were far\n in the Atlantic:\n\n 'Thy shores are empires.'",
"\n\n \"The shores of the world's ocean are empires. ",
"There are, or have\n been, the British empire, the German empire, the Russian empire,\n and the empire of the Great Mogul, the Chinese empire, the empire\n of Morocco, the four great empires of antiquity, the French\n empire, and some others. ",
"The poet does not intend names and things\n in this very strict way, however,\" &c.\n\nWhat empires the poet _did_ mean there is surely no difficulty in\ndiscovering, for those who wish to understand rather than to cavil. ",
"The\nvery next line to that quoted is--\n\n \"_Assyria, Greece, Rome, Carthage,_ what are they?\"",
"\n\nand it would require some hardihood to assert that these empires were\nnot on the shores of the Mediterranean.",
"\n\nAfter all, the best commentators are translators: they are obliged to\ntake the difficulties by the horns. ",
"I find, in a translation of Byron's\n_Works_ published at Pforzheim in 1842, the lines thus rendered by Dr.\nDuttenhofer:\n\n \"Du bleibst, ob Reiche schwinden an den Kuesten,--\n Assyrien, Hellas, Rom, Carthago--schwand,\n Die _freien_ koennte Wasserfluth verwuesten\n Wie die Tyrannen; es gehorcht der Strand\n Dem Fremdling, Sclaven, Wilden,\" &c.\n\nDuttenhofer has here taken the text as he found it, and has given it as\nmuch meaning as he could; but alas for those who are compelled to take\ntheir notion of the poetry of _Childe Harold_ from his German, instead\nof the original English! ",
"There is one passage in which the reader finds\nthis reflection driven hard upon him. ",
"Who is there that does not know\nByron's stanza on the Dying Gladiator, when, speaking of\n\n \"The inhuman shout which hail'd the wretch who won,\"\n\nhe adds, in lines which will be read _till_ Homer and Virgil are\nforgotten:\n\n \"He heard it, but he heeded not--his eyes\n Were with his heart, and that was far away;\n He reck'd not of the life he lost nor prize,\n But where his rude hut by the Danube lay,\n _There_ were his young barbarians all at play,\n _There_ was their Dacian mother--he, their sire,\n Butcher'd to make a Roman holiday--\n All this gush'd with his blood--shall he expire\n And unavenged? ",
"Arise, ye Goths! ",
"and glut your ire!\"",
"\n\nThere are two phrases in this stanza which seem to me to have never been\nsurpassed: \"young barbarians,\" and \"all this _gushed with his blood_.\"",
"\nHow inimitable is \"young barbarians!\" ",
"The \"curiosa felicitas\" of Horace\nnever carried him farther,--or perhaps so far. ",
"Herr Duttenhofer contents\nhimself by saying--\n\n \"fern am Donaustrand\n Sind seine Kinder, freuend sich am Spiel.\"",
"\n\n\"Afar on the shore of the Danube are _his children_, diverting\nthemselves at play.\" ",
"Good heavens! ",
"is this translation, and German\ntranslation too, of which we have heard so much? ",
"Again:\n\n \"wie sein Blut\n Hinfliesst, denkt er an dies.\"",
"\n\n\"As his blood flows away, he thinks of this!\" ",
"What could Herr\nDuttenhofer be thinking of?",
"\n\nTo my surprise, on turning to the passage this moment in Byron's poems,\nI find it stands--\n\n \"All this _rush'd_ with his blood,\"\n\ninstead of \"_gush'd_.\" ",
"It is so in the original edition, in the _Works_,\nand in the splendid edition of 1841, all three. ",
"Can there be any doubt\nof the superiority of \"gush'd?\" ",
"To me there seems none; and, singularly\nenough, it so happens that twice in conversation with two of the most\ndistinguished writers of this age--one a prosaist and the other a poet,\nwhose names I wish I were at liberty to mention--I have had occasion to\nquote this passage, and they both agreed with me in ascribing the\nhighest degree of poetical excellence to the use of this very word. ",
"I\nwish I could believe myself the author of such an improvement; but I\nhave certainly somewhere seen the line printed as I have given it; very\npossibly in Ebenezer Elliott the Corn-law Rhymer's _Lectures on Poetry_,\nin which I distinctly remember that he quoted the stanza.",

"An anagram is the change of a word or sentence into\nanother word or sentences by an _exact_ transposition of the letters.",

"O! ",
"base murther.\"",
"\n\n \"Charles James Stewart,\n \"Claims Arthur's Seat.\"",
"\n\n \"Martha Nicholson,\n \"Soon calm at heart.\"",
"\n\nI next turned to Samuel Maunder and his _Scientific and Literary\nTreasury_, little suspecting that, in a repertory bearing so ambitious a\ntitle, I should fail to discover the object of my search. ",
"True, he\nquotes the anagram made by Dr. Burney after the battle of the Nile:\n\n \"Horatio Nelson,\n \"Honor est a Nilo.\"",
"\n\nAnd this, it must be confessed, is one of the best on record. ",

"\n\ncoupled with the admission that nothing can be more ridiculous or\ninapplicable, and that one-half of the anagrams in existence are not a\nwhit less absurd. ",
"And yet, for this piece of absurdity, as well as for\nanother of the same calibre, on--\n\n \"His Grace the Duke of Wellington,\n \"Well fought, K--! ",
"no disgrace in thee,\"\n\nMr. Maunder claims the merit of originality. ",
"In other words (which are\nno other than his own), he claims merit for being \"puerile,\"\n\"ridiculous,\" and \"absurd.\" ",

"Alas! ",
"for\nthe reputation of Galileo, Newton, and other philosophers, who could\nmake great discoveries, and resort to anagrams to announce them to the\nworld, but who were incapable of discovering that an anagram was an\nabsurdity!",
"\n\nFinding matters at so low an ebb in our own literature, and that English\nanagrams are little better than Irish bulls, I directed my attention to\nthe literary records of the French, among whom the anagrammatic bump is\nvery prominent. ",
"From its character, and the process of its formation,\nthe anagram is peculiarly adapted to the genius of that people. ",
"It is\nlight and airy: so are they. ",
"It is conceited and fantastical: so are\nthey. ",
"It seems to be what it is not: so do they. ",
"Its very essence is\ntransposition, involution; what one might call a sort of\nJump-Jim-Crow-ism: and so is theirs. ",
"Hence the partiality which they\nhave always shown for the anagram: their Rebuses, Almanacs, Annuaires,\nand collections of trifles are full of them. ",
"One-half of the disguises\nadopted by their anonymous writers are in the shape of anagrams, formed\nfrom their names; and one of them has gone the length of composing and\npublishing a poem of 1200 lines, every line of which contains an\nanagram. ",
"The name assumed by the author (Gabriel Antoine Joseph Hecart)\nis L'Anagramme d'Archet; and the book bears the title of _Anagrammeana,\nPoeme en VIII Chants, XCVe Edition, a Anagrammatopolis, l'An XIV de\nl'Ere anagrammatique_. ",
"But it so happens that out of the 1200 anagrams\nnot a single one is worth quoting. ",
"Querard describes this poem, not\ninaptly, as a \"debauche d'esprit;\" and the author himself calls it \"une\nineptie;\" to which I may add the opinion of Richelet, that \"l'anagramme\nest une des plus grandes inepties de l'esprit humain: il faut etre sot\npour s'en amuser, et pis que sot pour en faire.\"",
"\n\nWith such an appreciation of the value of anagrams, is it surprising\nthat the French should have produced so few good ones? ",

"\n\nNow, the first is only true in France, where true liberty was never\nunderstood: and the second is true nowhere. _",

"\n\n \"Voltaire,\n \"O alte vir!\"",
"\n\nI was on the point of relinquishing in despair my search for anagrams,\nwhen an accidental circumstance put me in possession of one of the best\nspecimens I have met with. ",

"\n32-35.):--\n\n \"Not long after this Schwenotto threw off Christianity, and set\n himself against his father Harald, king in Denmark, and drove him\n from the kingdom. ",
"So Harald fled to Wollyn, in Pomerania. ",
"There\n the Wends, notwithstanding that he was a Christian, and they still\n of the ancient faith, received him kindly, and, together with the\n other Wends and Pomeranians, fitted out ships and an armament, and\n brought him with force back into his kingdom, and fought the whole\n day with Schweno, so that it was uncertain who had or had not won\n there. ",
"Then the next day they arose and made a smiting[10], and in\n the fray Harald was shot by a Dane, and perhaps by his son's\n command. ",
"Then brought the Wollyners him to their ships, and\n carried him away to their city that there they might doctor\n (_artzten_) him. ",
"But he died of the wound, and was buried there,\n after he had reigned about fifty years, about the thousandth year\n after the birth of Christ. ",
"So writeth Saxo. ",
"But Helmold writes,\n that he came to Vineta: these holp him into his kingdom again,\n and when he was shot in the skirmish, they brought him back to\n their town, where he died[11] and was buried. ",
"And that I myself\n believe; for though Wollyn was a mighty state at that time, still\n Vineta was much mightier; and it is therefore to be concluded that\n he fled to Vineta, rather than to Wollyn, and that Vineta was on\n that account afterwards destroyed: and as we are come to Vineta,\n we will say what Helmold writes thereof, which is this:--\n\n [Footnote 10: I have in the translation adopted the phrase of Holy\n Writ, \"made a smiting.\"]",

"It is said to have been as great a city as any which\n Europe contained at that time, and it was promiscuously inhabited\n by Greeks, Slavonians, Wends, and other nations. ",
"The Saxons, also,\n upon condition of not openly practising Christianity, were\n permitted to inhabit with them; for all the citizens were\n idolaters down to the final destruction and fall of the city. ",
"Yet\n in customs, manners, and hospitality there is not a more worthy\n nation, or so worthy a one, to be found. ",
"The city was full of all\n sorts of merchandise (_kaufwahr_) from all countries, and had\n everything which was curious, luxurious (_lustig_ = lustful), and\n necessary; and a king of Denmark destroyed them a great fleet of\n war. ",
"The ruins and recollection of the town remain even to this\n day, and the island on which it lay is flowed round by three\n streams, of which one is of a green colour, the other greyish, and\n the third dashes and rushes by reason of storm and wind. ",
"And so\n far Helmold, who wrote about 400 years ago.",
"\n\n \"And it is true that the remains exist at the present day: for\n when one desires to go from Wolgast over the Pene, in the country\n of Usedom, and comes by a village called Damerow, which is by\n [about] two miles[12] from Wolgast, so sees one about a long\n quarter way into the sea (for the ocean has encroached upon the\n land so much since then), great stones and foundations. ",
"So have I\n with others rowed thither, and have carefully looked at it. ",
"But no\n brickwork is there now; for it is so many hundred years since the\n destruction of the city, that it is impossible that it can have\n remained so long in the stormy sea. ",
"Yet the great\n foundation-stones are there still, and lie in a row, as they are\n usually disposed under a house, one by the other; and in some\n places others upon them. ",
"Among these stones are some so great, in\n three or four places, that they reach ell high above the water; so\n that it is conjectured that their churches or assembly-houses\n stood there. ",
"But the other stones, as they still lie in the order\n in which they lay under the buildings (_geben_), show also\n manifestly how the streets went through the length and breadth\n (_in die lenge und uebers quer_) of the city. ",
"And the fishermen of\n the place told us that still whole paving-stones of the streets\n lay there, and were covered with moss[13] (_uebermoset_), so that\n they could not be seen; yet if one pricked therein with a\n sharp-pointed pole or lance, they were easily to be felt. ",
"And the\n stones lay somehow after that manner: and as we rowed backward and\n forward over the foundations, and remarked the fashion of the\n streets, saw we that the town was built lengthways from east to\n west. ",
"But the sea deepens the farther we go, so that we could not\n perceive the greatness of the city fully; but what we could see,\n made us think that it was very probably of about the size of\n Luebeck: for it was about a short quarter[14] long, and the breadth\n broader than the city Luebeck. ",

"\n\nThis supposition makes an effect, which it is difficult to believe in,\ninto one utterly impossible to conceive. ",
"It is hard enough to credit the\ntheory, that the plane of oscillation of a pendulum is partially\nindependent of the rotatory motion of the earth, but still not\nimpossible, considering that the effect of the presumed cause is not\ninconsistent with the results of _a priori_ calculation. ",
"For instance,\nduring the swing of a two-seconds pendulum, the angular motion of the\nearth will have been 1', or thereabouts, which, supposing the\noscillation to be independent, would produce an appreciable angle on an\nindex circle placed concentric with the pendulum, and at right angles to\nits plane of oscillation.",
"\n\nBut as to A. E. B.'s theory, which supposes the variation of the\npendulum's plane to be \"due to the excess of velocity with which one\nextremity of the line of oscillation may be affected more than the\nother,\" it appears to me quite untenable for a moment. ",
"Let him reduce it\nto paper, and find what difference of velocity there is on the earth's\nsurface at the two ends of a line of ten feet, the assumed length of the\narc of a two-seconds pendulum,--a larger one, I presume, than that used\nby Foucault in his cellar,--and I believe he will find it to be\npractically nothing.",

"The next matter, which\nadmits of a very simple explanation, is to ascertain how the Chinese\n_dissevers_ the _idea_ of a character (hieroglyphic) from its _sound_,\nand makes his ideas (hieroglyphic characters) stand for syllables alone,\nby prefixing the character _more_ (mouth) to indicate that the\ncharacters next following are to be read as _sounds_ and not as _ideas_.",

"Here Champollian Junior stuck fast,\nand little has been done since his day in the way of _translation_; and\nthe reason is evident--the separate characters representing sounds found\nin these lozenges are too few in number to give any hope that the\nEgyptian hieroglyphics will ever be rendered generally intelligible;\ntheir object, however, has been far more effectually secured by the\npaintings and representations of objects and actions, which supply an\ninfinitely better means of knowing what was interesting in Egypt than\nmere words, sounds, or ideas (hieroglyphics) could convey.",

"This he has done in a handsome and richly illustrated volume,\nlately published by Mr. Parker under the title of _Iconography of the\nWest Front of Wells Cathedral, with an Appendix on the Sculptures of\nother Mediaeval Churches in England_: and the work will be found of the\nhighest interest, not only for its valuable illustration of this\n\"kalender for unlearned men,\" which we owe to the piety and love of art\nof Bishop Trotman, and which Flaxman speaks of as \"_the earliest\nspecimen_ of such magnificent and varied sculpture united in a series of\nsacred history that is to be found in western Europe,\" but also for the\nlight it throws upon the history of art in this country. ",
"For not only\nhave we in these pages the results of Professor Cockerell's studies of\nthe extensive and important series of sculptures which form the\nimmediate subject of them; but also his criticisms and remarks upon the\ncognate objects to be found at Exeter, Norwich, Malmesbury, Canterbury,\nRochester, York, Beverley, Lichfield, Worcester, Lincoln, Gloucester,\nSalisbury, Peterborough, Croyland, and Bath. ",
"And who can speak with\ngreater authority upon such points? ",
"whose opinion would be received with\ngreater respect?",
"\n\nSurely Rome must have been styled the _Eternal City_ because there is no\nend to the books which are published respecting it:\n\n \"For every year and month sends forth a new one;\"\n\nyet the subject never seems exhausted. ",
"Now it is a high churchman who\ngives a picture of this \"Niobe of nations,\" tinted _couleur de rose_;\nnow a low churchman, who talks of nothing but abominations of a deeper\ndye; now some classical student tells how--\n\n \"The Goth, the Christian, time, war, flood, and fire\n Have dealt upon the seven hill'd city's pride;\"\n\nnow some worshipper of art, who unfolds the treasures garnered within\nits walls; now a politician loud in his praises of Young Italy, or his\ncondemnation of foreign interference. ",
"The Chevalier de Chatelaine is\nnone of these, or rather, he is almost all of them by turns; and\nconsequently his _Rambles though Rome, descriptive of the Social,\nPolitical, and Ecclesiastical Condition of the City and its\nInhabitants_, is a volume of pleasant gossip, more amusing to the reader\nthan flattering to the character of the Roman people or those who govern\nthem.",

"Most dc-to-dc converters employing H-Bridge topologies achieve the conversion of a primary dc voltage input to an output regulated dc voltage. ",

"Spatial layout, urban movement & human transaction\n\nDownload my presentation\n\n“Designing mobility for democracy: the role of cities”\n\n#demobility\n\nThursday, 14th April 2011 from 1pm to 5pm\n\nNYU, Kimmel Center, Eisner & Lubin Auditorium\n\n60 Washington Square South, New York\n\nSummary\n\nGiven the title of this event: “Designing mobility”, I want to turn to the subject of design and the role of architects. ",
"The key message of this presentation is that cities need architects, not only to design the buildings that fit into them but also for the networks of space that connect them together. ",
"Why? ",
"Because architects have a special skill: to resolve complex problems into elegant solutions. ",
"And the spatial network of the city is a complex design problem.",
"\n\nHowever, before they can really help, architects need to “get” cities. ",
"The problem for cities is that architects are not sufficiently familiar with the way cities work and therefore the design principles they need to work with to make cities more effective as places of human transaction.",
"\n\nSo what is the role of a city?",
"\n\nA city should act in three key ways:\n\n1. ",
"as a spatial layout – of routes (streets and paths) and of land use assets\n\n2. ",
"as a movement machine, organised by the configuration of the route network and the attraction of the land uses assets\n\n3. ",
"as a transaction engine, generating and accommodating social, economic and cultural exchange.",
"\n\nA city is therefore a place of production and reproduction.",
"\n\nWhen cities don’t work a whole series of assumptions are typically loosed into the policy framework. ",
"Perhaps the greatest and most damaging of these is that that they lack transport infrastructure. ",
"Witness Sydney’s aerial people mover or the radical and crude plumbing of highway arteries into the capillary network of historic cities, especially here in the US.",
"\n\nOften the last thing that troubled places need is more transport infrastructure, especially when it is about moving people large distances. ",
"Engineering shows us that we can move human beings in pretty much any way we please, whether it’s to the moon or into the hearts of historic places, like here in Beijing.",
"\n\nAs Sartre remarked, “Everything has been figured out, except how to live.”",
"\n\nHeroically engineered mobility in the form of great road intersections such as that in Beijing is – with notable exceptions – the default response of the global transportation community and therefore of the political system. ",
"Witness the federal response to the current economic recession and the bent towards building and fixing highways.",
"\n\nIn this talk I want to argue that, if cities are to fulfill those three roles I set out they need to provide a new kind of mobility. ",
"And this is not, as Enrique Peñalosa said, only a problem of government. ",
"it is also a problem of design. ",
"And a problem of design theory at that.",
"\n\nFIRST PART\n\nSo let me start by setting out the problem. ",
"Unlike their planning cousins, architects are largely un-analytic when it comes to the functional properties of the city. ",
"The focus of designers has been, and largely remains, on the visual appearance of cities – the materiality of the surface of the building – at the expense of the functional performance of cities these buildings serve.",
"\n\nWhy should this be? ",
"The persistence of 19th Century taxonomies may have much to do with it, creating professional divisions of convenience with the restriction of knowledge and snobbery that follows.",
"\n\nFor whatever reason, functional performance is not rated in architecture as worthy of high design. ",
"It is therefore not the domain of the architect but of the engineer. ",
"Which is why, when it comes to cities, this means the traffic engineer.",
"\n\nThere are, I think, two possible consequences for this position.",
"\n\nFirst, that architects design themselves out of importance. ",
"I hope this is not the case because architects have something important to offer – the ability to creatively resolve complex problems into elegant solutions. ",
"This skill is not held exclusively by architects but it is found in especially high levels among architects.",
"\n\nSecond, that architects respond and learn that mobility is not only a design challenge but the design challenge.",
"\n\nSECOND PART\n\nSo what are the design components that architects should be engaged in?",
"\n\nLayout connectedness\n\nEffects of layout on movement.",
"\n\nAsset distribution\n\nEffects of space on land use location – historic v planned cities.",
"\n\nPublic realm design\n\nMaking it possible for people to transact – socially and economically.",
"\n\nConverting movement into transaction.",
"\n\nThis is where architects come in. ",
"My colleagues and I at Space Syntax have spent many years developing a set of design rules based on careful analysis of how cities work and how their patterns of use are affected by the way they are designed.",
"\n\nThe key thing is to avoid the perils of taxonomy by focusing on space on space. ",
"Let me try and summarise 40 years of research in 10 slides…\n\nThis process of practice-based research has led us to five key design principles for cities:\n\n1. ",
"buildings need to face the street – this is mostly understood although there is still a fear of the street as a loud and smelly thing.",
"\n\nThis is a 19th Century attitude that pervades design thinking.",
"\n\n2. ",
"buildings need active bases – this is not fully understood. ",
"There is still a belief that the roofline is everything. ",
"Buildings need as engaging a “streetline” or “baseline” as they do a “skyline”.",
"\n\n3. ",
"routes need to be simple and continuous not convoluted – not understood yet the urban record speaks for itself. ",
"Most notable when architects produce labyrinths in designing Middle Eastern layouts because they think Middle Eastern layouts are labyrinthine. ",
"Movement is essentially linear since it is so often purposeful, destination-oriented.",
"\n\nEven when it isn’t, when it is exploratory, light doesn’t bend around corners – not sufficiently anyway. ",
"Linearity is a prerequisite of search.",
"\n\n4. ",
"urban areas need critical mass not isolation – neighbourhoods need to be contiguous and continuously connected, not isolated and fragmented. ",
"This is hardly discussed but we should have learned this through the failure of the UK public housing programmes of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, where housing estates turned inwards, away from each other and away from the street. ",
"In those days the streets were the barriers. ",
"Today, if it isn’t the street it is likely to be a park – landscape urbanism, at least one common form of it, threatens the transactive capacity of cities by separating urbanism into small, isolated fragments.",
"\n\nThe oft-spoken defence of “I want the route to unfold so that people get surprises at every turn of every corner” is frankly nonsense. ",
"It’s a recipe for fearful urbanity and sterile shopping centres. ",
"There is more sublime poetry in one block of lively linearity than in an acre of convoluted labyrinth.",
"\n\nBecause the difference is people.",
"\n\n5. ",
"you should not only be able to see a destination but also the way to reach the destination – most notably when changing levels in urban space or in a building – I might be able to see the attractor, whatever it is, but can I see my route to it.",
"\n\nWhen these five conditions are achieved, the result is a system of everywhere to everywhere relations, creating structured contact between local inhabitants and visitors/passers by. ",
"These local-to-global relations, structured through patterns of centrality are the building blocks of the transactive city. ",
"They need to be understood and designed in.",
"\n\nThe city should, in this way, become an enhanced “transactive environment”.",
"\n\nTHIRD PART\n\nCase studies: Trafalgar Square, Nottingham, Jeddah…\n\nFINAL PART\n\nThese design rules facilitate mobility because they enhance motility.",
"\n\nWhile I have focused on the architects role at the scale of the building and the street the are, in closing, two other areas that are worth mentioning.",
"\n\nFirst, at the scale of the entire urban system – whether village, town, city or urban region. ",
"Design is fractal. ",
"Movement is fractal and the principles are scalable. ",
"This is relevant both to the retrofitting of existing cities (Jeddah, Berlin) and the creation of new urban areas.",
"\n\nSecond, in the realms of “online”. ",
"Having just devoted a good part of my time at Harvard to an investigation of the mores and trends of the digital environment, I’m struck at the similarity of thinking in terms of both the infrastructure of the “online” and “onland” environments: systems, networks, connectivity, capacity but also the deeper issues of search and human interaction.",
"\n\nThe role of the city has long been to enable and stage events, often created through serendipitous face-to face contact. ",
"The city of today and the digitally enabled city of the future will be to do more of the same. ",
"Indeed, once we start to feel the city when we are online, the city will have achieved an evolutionary transformation. ",
"The online aspect of “city” – the digitalopolis – is emerging as we make sense of living and transacting online.",
"\n\nWhich is why the city, be it online or onland, needs careful design of its three key patterns: its spatial layout patterns, its urban movement patterns and, ultimately, its patterns of human transaction.",

"At this point, I also noticed fluid build up in his abdomen.",
"\nThe first vet I took him to did an ultrasound, gave him antibiotics, and said that the ultrasound revealed some kind of inflammation in the intestine.",
"\nThe second vet also did an ultrasound and found a mass in the small intestine. ",
"They withdrew some of the mass using a needle for analysis. ",
"They told me that the analysis will reveal if he had lymphoma or not. ",

"They also added a feeding tube.",
"\nBoth vets did extensive blood tests, nothing was found except low levels of albumin.",
"\nYesterday, he became so weak and agitated, I took him to the ER. ",
"The doctor there said based on all of the previous history that the other 2 VETs faxed over, there is a 95% chance he has terminal cancer and that it has spreadout throughout the intestine.",

"\nThey said that from the ultrasound the other 2 vets did, they can see that the \"mass\" has covered all around the small intestine.",
"\nThey scheduled him for surgery today where they will go in and remove the mass from the small intestine and will do exploratory surgery. ",
"They will then do analysis on the mast to see what kind of cancer it is.",
"\nThey said that even with the surgery, he will not eat and will waste away.",
"\nIs there any chance that it could just be a non-benign tumor....or even just a foreign object blockage?",
"\nHow can they be so sure that it has spread throughout the intestine?",
"\nFrom my research, it looks like cats can also have fluid build up if they don't eat. ",
"I mentioned this to the VET but they said that in this particular case, it is related to cancer.",
"\nWhat is the likely prognosis?",
"\n\nA:\n\nI'm sorry, the best way to know what is wrong with your cat is to wait for the vets to do the surgery. ",
"I'm sure waiting is heartbreaking and you're upset and anxious for the results, but anything anyone replies at this point is even less of an educated guess than what your vets have advised.",
"\nI did have a cat whose stomach and esophagus stopped working (it was nerve damage). ",
"The vet offered to insert a feeding tube into the cat's intestines (called a duodenal feeding tube), but because of the severity of the surgery the cat would have been restricted to a cage for the rest of his life.",
"\nIf your cat's intestines aren't working, and exploratory surgery doesn't reveal a reversible reason for that to be happening, then you'll have to consider what you want your cat's remaining days to be like.",

"That's right.\" \"",
"Travels to the heart,gets stuck in the valves and stops the heart from beating.\" \"",

"Was killing steve a part of the mission?\" \"",
"I don't know what you're talking about.\" \"",
"Steve was murdered.\" \"",
"And how does that relate to peregrine?\" \"",
"We found a dx4 round in lancaster's suv.\" \"",
"Is that where he was storing the vaporizer?\" \"",
"I don't know anything about that.\" \"",
"But if steve was involved with the use of that weapon,then he crossed the line.\" \"",
"Of course,we'll never know now.\" \"",
"He's dead.\" \"",
"Yes,how convenient for you.\" \"",
"Lieutenant,off the record,you're looking at us when you should be looking outside.\" \"",
"So you're saying steve had enemies.\" \"",
"Plenty.\" \"",
"I'm gonna need those names.\" \"",
"I'm sorry,but those files are confidential.\" \"",
"You'll just have to find them on your own.\" \"",
"Yes,and I will.\" \"",
"And a word to the wise,Mr. Butler,your name better not be amongst them.\" \"",
"Oh,yeah.\" \"",
"Got a nice juicy partial right here on the clasp.\" \"",
"Nice.\" \"",
"Hopefully,that will give us our killer and not our victim.\" \"",
"Here we go.\" \"",
"James reilley.\" \"",
"Any priors?\" \"",
"No,his record's pristine.\" \"",
"Why is he in afis then?\" \"",
"Says he was in the navy.\" \"",
"All military personnel get fingerprinted when they enlist.\" \"",
"Steve lancaster was a navy seal.\" \"",
"I wonder if they knew each other.\" \"",
"There's only one way to find out.\" \"",
"Look,I'm really sorry that steve is dead,\" \"But I don't see what that has to do with me.\" \"",
"We found your fingerprint on his watchband.\" \"",
"Oh,come on.\" \"",
"Are you kidding?\" \"",
"Is that why I'm here?\" \"",
"I ran into steve today.\" \"",
"It must have happened when I,when we shook hands.\" \"",
"I was on my way to see a client,and we just bumped into each other.\" \"",
"Steve lancaster.\" \"",
"Reilly?\" \"",
"Hey,you got a minute?\" \"",
"You want to grab something to eat?\" \"",
"Actually,I can't,man.\" \"",
"I got to run.\" \"",
"He seemed like he was in a rush.\" \"",
"I haven't seen steve since I left peregrine.\" \"",
"So you worked at peregrine security?\" \"",
"For a while.\" \"",
"Steve brought me in to set up the computer systems.\" \"",
"Why'd you leave?\" \"",
"Well,I guess I just didn't want the life anymore.\" \"",
"After all the years in the navy and then peregrine,\" \"I just got tired of playing war.\" \"",
"I run a computer repair firm now.\" \"",
"Where did you go after you saw steve?\" \"",
"I went back to the office.\" \"",
"You can ask my secretary.\" \"",
"I will.\" \"",
"Is that lancaster's laptop?\" \"",
"I thought it came up empty for any evidence of the killer.\" \"",
"Yeah,well,that's why I wanted to crack it open,\" \"See if we got any information that will point us in the right direction.\" \"",
"Um,well,I'll take any direction at this point.\" \"",
"I heard you talked to reilly's secretary.\" \"",
"Yeah,she confirmed his story,but she may be covering for him.\" \"",
"Wait.\" \"",
"Will you pop open that report?\" \"",
"Sure.\" \"\"",
"Operation black market status. \"\" \"",
"That sounds like plans for a military action.\" \"",
"What does \"asset out of the bag,\" mean?\" \"",
"Asset\" \" In military jargon,that means a target.\" \"\"",
"Three bogies in play\" means three enemies involved.\" \"",
"Three is the number of victims at the warehouse shooting this morning.\" \"",
"I think these are the plans.\" \"",
"All right,take a look at this.\" \"\"",
"Mission status:\" \"Stage one incomplete. \"\" \"",
"Well,if this morning was stage one,I wonder what else they have planned.\" \"",
"What are you doing?\" \"",
"What are you doing?\" \"",
"I'm not doing anything.\" \"",
"The laptop's doing this on its own.\" \"",
"Someone's purging the hard drive.\" \"",
"They're doing it remotely.\" \"",
"They were just waiting for us to turn the computer on.\" \"",
"Turn it off.\" \"",
"I can'T.\" \"They're overriding it.\" \"",
"Well,can you figure out who's doing it?\" \"",
"I'm transmitting an output signal,but...\" \"Once the computer's wiped out,all trace of whoever is doing this will be gone.\" \"",
"I'm synched in to their satellite transmission.\" \"",
"It's looking for a source.\" \"",
"We have to hurry.\" \"",
"It's wiped out 75% of the hard drive.\" \"",

"85%.\" \"",
"Come on.\" \"",
"We're running out of time.\" \"",
"We're almost there.\" \"",
"It's gone.\" \"",
"Wait a minute.\" \"",
"An address.\" \"",
"That's the address to peregrine's headquarters.\" \"",
"They wiped out their own computer.\" \"",
"They're covering up something really big.\" \"",
"You've been tampering with the evidence,Mr. Butler.\" \"",
"It's not tampering when you're sanitizing your own computer files.\" \"",
"It is if you're interfering in a murder investigation.\" \"",
"We have to insure our information doesn't fall into the wrong hands.\" \"",
"You mean like mine?\" \"",
"There was nothing in there that would have pertained to steve's death.\" \"",
"Mr. Lancaster was killed because the operation black market wasn't completed this morning.\" \"",
"You don't know what you're talking about.\" \"",
"Educate me.\" \"",
"Okay,lieutenant.\" \"",
"You were right about lancaster.\" \"",
"He exceeded our protocols,and used the dx-4 in the dock operation.\" \"",
"The vaporizer.\" \"",
"We were going to turn over that gun to the feds,but it was never returned to base.\" \"",
"So the mission is incomplete until we reacquire the vaporizer.\" \"",
"So it was in his suv.\" \"",
"Where it was stolen when he was murdered.\" \"",
"You're telling me that the most dangerous weapon on the planet is loose on the streets of miami.\" \"",
"I'm sorry,do I... do I smell pork?\" \"",
"You do.\" \"",
"I'm using pig flesh because it's the closest thing to human flesh that I could find.\" \"",
"I'm trying to tie peregrine to the lancaster murder.\" \"",
"I didn't know that stun guns were traceable.\" \"",
"Well,it isn't like a regular gun,but if the mark is unique enough...\" \"I mean,for example,this is the lancaster stun bite.\" \"",
"You can see how the prongs are close together.\" \"",
"If I can match this model to one of these,\" \"I think we might be able to find our killer.\" \"",
"It's what I suspected.\" \"",
"Meet the sentry\" \" The world's smallest stun gun.\" \"",
"You're telling me that that tiny thing took down a 200-Pound guy?\" \"",
"Well,it kicks out a million volts.\" \"",
"You know,it's funny\" \" I would think those peregrine guys were such a boy's club,\" \"They wouldn't use such a girly little weapon.\" \"",
"Well,I only ended up testing it against government issue stun guns,\" \"And I figured that's what peregrine would be using.\" \"",
"What kind of government agencies?\" \"",
"State department,customs agents.\" \"",
"Customs agents?\" \"",
"Yeah.\" \"",
"Where you going?\" \"",
"What's this all about,wolfe?\" \" ",
"It's about your stun gun.\" \" ",
"Excuse me?\" \"",
"You carry a sentry,is that right?\" \"",
"Yes.\" \"",
"They're issued to us.\" \"",
"So steve lancaster's murder¡ª\" \"Was that a state-Sponsored assassination\" \"Or did you do that on your own?\" \"",
"What the hell are you talking about?\" \"",
"Lancaster was murdered with a sentry.\" \"",
"The very same model stun gun you carry.\" \"",
"And why would i have a reason to kill lancaster?\" \"",
"Well,the vaporizer.\" \"",
"I'm trying to stop that weapon just like you.\" \"",
"Now you are.\" \"",
"See,you're the liaison for peregrine,\" \"But you didn't know they were using that weapon until I told you,is that right?\" \"",
"Uh-Uh,I can't be held responsible for what they do.\" \"",
"Well,your supervisors can.\" \"",
"When it gets out in the public that you hired a company to do your dirty work that's using illegal weapons,\" \"You're gonna take the fall.\" \"",
"I think you killed lancaster to get the gun.\" \"",
"I think if there was no gun...\" \"No problem.\" \"",
"You got nothing to base that on.\" \"",
"Is that right?\" \"",
"Every time you use that stun gun,the date and time is recorded.\" \"",
"Why don't you hand it over.\" \"",
"Here.\" \"",
"But don't let my supervisors hear.\" \"",
"My job is already on the line for how this was handled.\" \"",
"If they hear that I'm now a suspect...\" \"If this tests positive...\" \"Your job is going to be the least of your worries.\" \"",
"Okay,okay,what's wrong?\" \"",
"I was just...\" \"I was convinced that our customs agent killed lancaster,\" \"But she didn't fire her stun gun.\" \"",
"She didn't even fire it once.\" \"",
"So,uh... we don't have a suspect.\" \"",
"Well,baby... maybe this will help you out.\" \"",
"What is this?\" \"",
"You tell me.\" \"",
"They look like black specks.\" \"",
"Where did you find these?\" \"",
"In our victim's eye.\" \"",
"I found the injection site\" \" In his retinal vein.\" \"",
"A syringe was the last thing our soldier saw.\" \"",
"Alexx... this is huge.\" \"",
"If trace can tell us what these black specks are,we may have our man.\" \"",
"Steve lancaster,Mr. Reilly.\" \"",
"What about him?\" \"",
"You killed him.\" \"",
"We found out about an interesting tool you use to service computer equipment.\" \"",
"The next time you kill somebody with a syringe,\" \"You should try cleaning the toner out first.\" \"",
"You know what,this is harassment.\" \"",
"I am not the only computer salesman in miami.\" \"",
"But you had a motive.\" \"",
"And what is that motive?\" \"",
"Revenge.\" \"",
"I'm out of here.\" \"",
"Sit down,Mr. Reilly.\" \"",
"Now,we ran into a security firewall with your employment records.\" \"",
"So we called in a few favors at the state department.\" \"",
"And it turns out that you didn't quit at peregrine,you were fired.\" \"",
"I was not fired.\" \"",
"You cannot fire the founder of a company.\" \"",
"Lancaster founded peregrine.\" \"",
"That's what it says on the revised brochures.\" \"",
"Peregrine was my idea.\" \"",
"I came up with it back in the seals.\" \"",
"That's when I met steve.\" \"",
"I brought him on as a partner.\" \"",
"So how did he force you out?\" \"",
"I was spending so much time engineering coups in other countries,\" \"I didn't see the one he was pulling on me.\" \"",
"So you assassinated him.\" \"",
"Lancaster betrayed peregrine.\" \"",
"It was a noble idea and he turned it into a killing machine.\" \"",
"Should have held true to your own ideals.\" \"",
"The world is better off.\" \"",
"What the hell do you want?\" \"",
"At least I completed my mission.\" \"",
"Was part of that mission to steal the dx-4?\" \"",
"I don't know what you're talking about.\" \"",
"The gun\" \" You took it from lancaster's suv.\" \"",
"No,I didn'T.\" \"I swear.\" \"",
"Someone must have stolen it after I left.\" \"",
"I hope so for your sake.\" \"",
"Take him.\" \"",
"Eric,let's take another look at that suv.\" \"",
"Hey.\" \"",
"I got a human hair... with a bulb.\" \"",
"Beautiful.\" \"",
"I'll have natalia and put a name to it.\" \"",
"Gabriel soto.\" \"",
"No,man.\" \"",
"You got the wrong guy.\" \"",
"I'm here to see soto about a job.\" \"",
"Well,where is he?\" \"",
"He's right there.\" \"",
"You made bail,soto,but you might be going right back in.\" \"",
"You hiring new staff?\" \"",
"I need to replace the men I lost after peregrine wiped them out.\" \"",
"You need more manpower now that you have the vaporizer to sell.\" \"",
"That'll be a little difficult since I don't have it.\" \"",
"Yeah,well,I can put you in lancaster's suv,exactly where the gun was stolen from.\" \"",
"And how can you do that?\" \"",
"Because I found your hair in the front seat.\" \"",
"You deliver that dx-4,I bring the buyer.\" \"",
"We'll split it 50-50.\" \"",
"And why does he want the vaporizer?\" \"",
"He wants to mass produce it.\" \"",
"He's willing to pay big for it.\" \"",
"Well,if that's the case,then I'll just contact him myself.\" \"",
"You can't do that.\" \"",
"He only deals with me.\" \"",
"Not if you're dead.\" \"",
"Oh,man.\" \"",
"I didn't steal anything.\" \"",
"Look...\" \"I met with lancaster,you know,to talk.\" \"",
"You were just chatting it up with the guy who killed your men?\" \"",
"No,I don't think so.\" \"",
"It was before that.\" \"",
"I was looking to buy the vaporizer gun from him,okay?\" \"",
"I could retire off the profit from that.\" \"",
"Yeah,by selling it to our enemies.\" \"",
"Nothing personal.\" \"",
"It's just business.\" \"",
"Get down!\" \"",
"Is it personal now,soto?\" \"",
"This guy's dead.\" \"",
"That bullet was meant for you.\" \"",
"The shots were fired from over there.\" \"",
"I've got a. 308 casing.\" \"",
"This didn't come from the vaporizer.\" \"",
"You know what's weird?\" \"",
"I don't see any of your bullet strikes here.\" \"",
"Yeah,I tried to get a bead on the shooters,but...\" \"By the time I did,they took off.\" \"",
"You know whatever is said between us stays between us,right?\" \"",
"Did you freeze?\" \"",
"No,I didn'T.\" \"It's just when the,uh...\" \"when he started shooting,\" \"It took me back to that day.\" \"",
"I,uh...\" \"I felt like I was getting shot all over again.\" \"",
"Well,why don't we just focus on the here and now?\" \"",
"We've got a shooter to catch.\" \"",
"You know,it looks like there are more casings up there.\" \"",
"Concealment.\" \"",
"Higher position.\" \"",
"It's where I'd want to be.\" \"",
"I'll check it out.\" \"",
"You find the casings?\" \"",
"Yeah.\" \"",
"Three.\" \"",
"The shooter found himself a nice perch up here,\" \"But he wasn't too careful getting down.\" \"",
"Really!\" \"",
"Did you get a print?\" \"",
"Sure did.\" \"",
"Just one,but...\" \"One's enough,right?\" \"",
"How do you know I took the shot?\" \"",
"We recovered your fingerprints from the sniper perch,patrick.\" \"",
"Soto was a sanctioned target.\" \"",
"As you know,I'm shielded from prosecution under the patriot act.\" \"",
"I'd hate to rain on your parade,my friend,\" \"But soto,as it turns out,was not the victim.\" \"",
"You killed an innocent man.\" \"",
"So,currently,you're not shielded by anything.\" \"",
"Intel said soto was there.\" \"",
"He was.\" \"",
"You killed an innocent man.\" \"",
"Why did they want him dead?\" \"",
"So soto's buyer would deal directly with us.\" \"",
"We mobilized in the warehouse.\" \"",
"Okay,let me rephrase it.\" \"",
"Where is the gun?\" \"",
"Where is it right now?\" \"",
"We removed the asset from the suv the moment we knew lancaster was down.\" \"",
"Where is the location of the sale?\" \"",
"I don't question my superiors.\" \"",
"I get my orders,I act on them.\" \"",
"Patrick.\" \"",

"Only butler knows.\" \"",
"Then give me butler.\" \"",

"I'll finish it off.\" \"",
"Get the ammo on the plane.\" \"",
"And that's with only half the barrels engaged.\" \"",

"Q:\n\nProve that function $f(x)=\\sum_{n=1}^{\\infty}ne^{-nx}$ is continuous.",

"\n $$\nf(x)=\\sum_{n=1}^{\\infty}u_n(x),\\ \\ u_n(x)=ne^{-nx},\\ \\ x\\in E=(0,+\\infty)\n$$\n\nIn order to do that, I tried to show that $u_n(x)$ is continuous on $E$ for any $n\\in\\mathbb{N}$ and also that the series $\\sum_{n=1}^{\\infty}u_n(x)$ is uniformly convergent on $E$. The former is, of course, true. ",

"\n$$\nThus, I thought that the problem statement is not correct. ",
"But I am not sure.",
"\nI would be very grateful if someone clarified my confusion!",
"\nP.S. I need to prove continuity of $f(x)$ in order to find $\\int_{\\ln2}^{\\ln5}f(x)dx$.\n\nA:\n\nFor each $a>0$, the convergence is uniform on $(a,\\infty)$. So, $f|_{(a,\\infty)}$ is continuous and, since this takes place for each $a>0$, $f$ is continuous.",

"\nRecently, we have shown that radiotherapy (RT) combined with the immunocytokine L19-IL2 can induce long-lasting antitumour effects, dependent on ED-B expression and infiltration of cytotoxic T cells. ",
"On the other hand, in certain tumours, IL2 treatment can trigger a natural killer cell (NK) immune response. ",
"The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of our combination therapy in the ED-B positive F9 teratocarcinoma model, lacking MHCI expression and known to be dependent on NK immune responses. ",
"In syngeneic F9 tumour bearing 129/FvHsd mice tumour growth delay was evaluated after local tumour irradiation (10Gy) combined with systemic administration of L19-IL2. ",
"Immunological responses were investigated using flow cytometry. ",
"Tumour growth delay of L19-IL2 can be further improved by a single dose of RT administered before immunotherapy, but not during immunotherapy. ",
"Furthermore, treatment of L19-IL2 favours a NK response and lacks cytotoxic T cell tumour infiltrating immune cells, which may be explained by the absence of MHCI expression. ",
"An additive effect can be detected when the NK dependent F9 tumour model is treated with radiotherapy and L19-IL2 and therefore this combination could be useful in the absence of tumoural MHCI expression."

"Credit: Dave Mandel, Sherdog.com\n\nMichael Chandler, Bellator’s Lightweight champion, is considered among fans and media alike to be among the very best Lightweights in the world. ",
"With an impressive record of 12-0 with 10 finishes, Chandler is an absolute fire brand athlete. ",
"In 2011, after running through Bellator’s Lightweight tournament, Chandler had a date with the champion, Eddie Alvarez. ",
"After an incredible battle, their fight was granted fight of the year honors, and left many fans clamoring for a rematch.",
"\n\nFinally, after two years, the fans will get the rematch they want. ",
"The fight was supposed to be the co-main event of Bellator’s first PPV event, but an injury to Tito Ortiz scrapped the main event, and the PPV as a whole. ",
"Now, fans will be treated to this incredible rematch for free on Spike TV this Saturday night as the main event of the evening. ",
"In this first of two segments of my interview with Michael Chandler we discuss all things Eddie Alvarez, the PPV, and Bellator.",
"\n\nHis thoughts on the Bellator PPV falling through\n\nI never look at the negatives of things. ",
"I try to focus on the positive in everything. ",
"It is definitely unfortunate that Tito got hurt, first and foremost. ",
"It’s also unfortunate that the PPV fell through, but I am sure I will be on Bellator’s next PPV whenever that is. ",
"I am not really worried about it. ",
"More importantly, the fans should be pumped for a live and free night of fights on Spike TV with a great lineup. ",
"I feel honored and blessed to be the main event.",
"\n\nDid your contract change at all moving off of PPV?",
"\n\nNo, not really. ",
"The PPV buy points changed a little, but I am not worried about that. ",
"It is one of those things where I am not worried about the money. ",
"I am not even sure how much I am making for this fight necessarily. ",
"It would take a little while to add it all up and figure it out. ",
"I don’t focus on that, instead I focus on the task at hand which is winning this next fight against Eddie Alvarez.",
"\n\nThe excitement of fighting top-flight competition\n\nI am absolutely excited about fighting Eddie. ",
"There is no doubt that Eddie is one of the Top 10 Lightweights in the world. ",
"It is always exciting for me any time I get to step into the cage. ",
"My job is to fight and I love it. ",
"I love that I was put in this sport. ",
"If you are going to fight, you might as well fight great competition and Eddie is that guy. ",
"I am excited to show the improvements I have made in the last two years since the first fight. ",
"I am excited to compete and I am sure it will be a war.",
"\n\nSimilarities to the first fight\n\nI definitely want to get the finish, but I don’t want to take that big of a beating and I don’t want to fight as long as the first fight. ",
"My goal is to always get in and out of the cage as quick as possible. ",
"The fans of course want to see a war where two guys go out there and slug it out. ",
"When you are fighting such a great competitor like Eddie Alvarez, and me being such a fierce competitor as well, we will both be hard to finish as we showed in the first fight. ",
"It has all the potential to be just as good if not better than the first fight. ",
"My goal, however, is to not let it go that far, but we will see.",
"\n\nThe possibility of engaging in a war with Eddie Alvarez\n\nIt definitely excites me. ",
"If I would have lost the first fight against Eddie, I think I wouldn’t be as excited. ",
"Basically, when you lose a war like that it is because the other guy got the better of you. ",
"He gave you an opportunity to get out of that fight, and you gave it to him. ",
"I think Eddie might have to deal with that aspect because I took everything he could throw at me in the third round and did not go down. ",
"I then went out and finished him in the fourth. ",
"I know he is a great competitor and has got a ton better in the last two years, so there is definitely a possibility for it to be a war. ",
"I am ready to fight 25 hard minutes if I have to. ",
"I put all the hard work in so I could, but I am hoping it does not have to go that way.",
"\n\nEddie’s long layoff\n\nHe is a veteran and has fought in a cage around 20 times, so he knows how to compete and knows his way around a cage. ",
"I don’t think ring rust or his inactivity will affect him too much, but we will see. ",
"I will come in and push the pace right away, so there we will see how he reacts. ",
"We are not going to know until Saturday night, and until then it is all speculation.",
"\n\nThe amount of fights he is getting\n\n2011 was great, I fought in the tournament and had a really good run before winning the title. ",
"2012, it obviously slowed down, but I have been very vocal about it. ",
"Myself and my manager were both very vocal to Bjorn Rebney and Bellator that I want to fight. ",
"I want to be active, I am young, hungry, and I want to put on dominant performances for Bellator. ",
"As you see, they have delivered. ",
"This will be my third fight in 2013, and I look forward to fighting at least 3 times next year. ",
"It was all just a process of turning out tournament champions. ",
"That is what they are doing now. ",
"Unfortunately, Dave Jansen got injured, but as soon as he is ready I will be able to fight him. ",
"We also have Tiger Sarnavskiy and Will Brooks who are fighting in the tournament finals. ",
"Essentially, after fighting Eddie, there are already two guys waiting to fight me. ",
"By the time I fight the first guy, there will be another Lightweight tournament. ",
"I could not be happier.",
"\n\nWho wins: Sarnavskiy or Brooks?",
"\n\nI honestly do not know. ",
"I think Sarnavskiy was a lot more impressive in his last fight than Brooks. ",
"I thought Will Brooks looked gassed, slow, and lethargic. ",
"I thought him and Saad Awad were a little bit more explosive than that. ",
"We will see what happens when they fight, and I look forward to beating whomever they put in front of me.",
"\n\nCheck back Thursday for second segment of my interview with Michael Chandler. ",
"We talk about Alliance MMA, the UFC, the Pearson/Guillard decision, comparisons to Gilbert Melendez, his flying kick against Pitbull, Chael Sonnen, and much more."

"Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma: a review.",
"\nBronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is classified as a subset of lung adenocarcinoma but has a distinct clinical presentation, tumor biology, response to therapy, and prognosis compared with other subtypes of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). ",
"Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma disproportionately affects women, never-smokers, and Asians and is characterized by growth along alveolar septae without evidence of stromal, vascular, or pleural invasion. ",
"Although pure BAC accounts for approximately 4% of lung cancers, tumors with histologically mixed BAC and adenocarcinoma account for > 20% of all NSCLCs, and the incidence of BAC might be increasing. ",
"Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma histology is most commonly found in small lesions identified incidentally on chest radiographs or computed tomography scans and might represent a precursor lesion to invasive adenocarcinoma. ",
"As with other subsets of NSCLC, surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment. ",
"Patients with unresectable BAC are more likely to respond to the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib than patients with other subtypes of NSCLC. ",
"Stage for stage, patients with BAC have a higher rate of long-term survival but might have an increased rate of intrathoracic recurrence than patients with other subtypes of NSCLC."

"Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates generally to an extended remote copy operation for data on direct access storage devices, and more particularly, to a system that insures data consistency in an extended remote copy operation without updates.",
"\n2. ",
"Description of Related Art\nData processing systems typically are required to store large amounts of data. ",
"Having a back-up data copy is mandatory for many businesses as data loss could be catastrophic to the business. ",
"Moreover, disaster recovery requires that the secondary copy of data be stored at a location remote from the primary data.",
"\nA known method of providing disaster protection is to back-up data to tape, on a daily or weekly basis, etc. ",
"The tape is then taken to a secure storage area that is usually located remote from the primary data location. ",
"A problem is presented in this back-up plan in that it could take days to retrieve the back-up data, and meanwhile several hours or even days of data could be lost, or worst, the storage location could be destroyed by the same disaster.",
"\nA somewhat improved back-up method would be to transmit data to a back-up location each night. ",
"This allows the data to be stored at a more remote location. ",
"Again, some data may be lost between back-ups since back-up does not occur continuously, as in the dual copy solution. ",
"Hence, a substantial data amount could be lost which may be unacceptable to some users.",
"\nMore recently introduced data disaster recovery solutions include extended remote copy operations, wherein data is backed-up not only remotely, but also continuously. ",
"In order to communicate duplexed data from one host processor to another host processor, or from one storage controller to another storage controller, or some combination thereof, a substantial amount of control data is required for realizing the process. ",
"A high overhead, however, can interfere with a secondary site's ability to keep up with a primary site's processing, thus threatening the ability of the secondary site to be able to recover the primary in the event a disaster occurs.",
"\nAccordingly, there is a need in the art for a method managing data consistency in such environments. ",
"More specifically, the challenge is how to insure consistency in an environment where heavy updates occur at one point in time and the system can be completely idle at another point in time, and then report the consistency time accurately."

"The present invention relates generally to a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) read sensor for use in a magnetic read head. ",
"In particular, the present invention relates to a current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) read sensor having an enhanced giant magnetoresistive response.",
"\nGMR read sensors are used in magnetic data storage systems to detect magnetically-encoded information stored on a magnetic data storage medium such as a magnetic disc. ",
"A time-dependent magnetic field from a magnetic medium directly modulates the resistivity of the GMR read sensor. ",
"A change in resistance of the GMR read sensor can be detected by passing a sense current through the GMR read sensor and measuring the voltage across the GMR read sensor. ",
"The resulting signal can be used to recover the encoded information from the magnetic medium.",
"\nA typical GMR read sensor configuration is the GMR spin valve, in which the GMR read sensor is a multi-layered structure formed of a nonmagnetic spacer layer positioned between a synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) and a ferromagnetic free layer. ",
"The magnetization of the SAF is fixed, typically normal to an air bearing surface of the GMR read sensor, while the magnetization of the free layer rotates freelyin response to an external magnetic field. ",
"The SAF includes a reference layer and a pinned layer which are magnetically coupled by a coupling layer such that the magnetization direction of the reference layer is opposite to the magnetization of the pinned layer. ",
"The resistance of the GMR read sensor varies as a function of an angle formed between the magnetization direction of the free layer and the magnetization direction of the reference layer. ",
"This multi-layered spin valve configuration allows for a more pronounced magnetoresistive effect, i.e. greater sensitivity and higher total change in resistance, than is possible with anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) read sensors, which generally consist of a single ferromagnetic layer.",
"\nA pinning layer is typically exchange coupled to the pinned layer of the SAF to fix the magnetization of the pinned layer in a predetermined direction. ",
"The pinning layer is typically formed of an antiferromagnetic material. ",
"In antiferromagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of adjacent atoms point in opposite directions and, thus, there is no net magnetic moment in the material.",
"\nAn underlayer is typically used to promote the texture of the layers (including the pinning layer) consequently grown on top of it. ",
"The underlayer is chosen such that its atomic structure, or arrangement, corresponds with a desired crystallographic direction.",
"\nA seed layer is typically used to enhance the grain growth of the layers (including the underlayer) consequently grown on top of it. ",
"In particular, the seed layer provides a desired grain structure and size.",
"\nOne principal concern in the performance of GMR read sensors is the xcex94R (the maximum absolute change in resistance of the GMR read sensor), which directly affects the GMR ratio. ",
"The GMR ratio (the maximum absolute change in resistance of the GMR read sensor divided by the resistance of the GMR read sensor multiplied by 100%) determines the magnetoresistive effect of the GMR read sensor. ",
"Ultimately, a higher GMR ratio yields a GMR read sensor with a greater magnetoresistive effect which is capable of detecting information from a magnetic medium with a higher linear density of data.",
"\nA key determinant of the GMR ratio is the material used for the coupling layer in the SAF. ",
"The sense current that is passed through the GMR read sensor consists of majority spin electrons (spin is in the same direction of the magnetization) and minority spin electrons (spin is in the opposite direction of the magnetization). ",
"Majority spin electrons exhibit very little resistance and enhance the signal produced by the sense current, while minority spin electrons exhibit very high resistance and diminish the signal produced by the sense current. ",
"In current-in-plane (CIP) read sensors, the sense current is passed through in a direction parallel to the layers of the read sensor. ",
"In order to maximize the mean free path of the majority spin electrons and the signal produced by the sense current, the majority spin electrons should be confined to the reference layer, free layer, and the spacer layer. ",
"It is therefore desirable for the coupling layer in the SAF to reflect majority spin electrons back into the reference layer in order to prevent the majority spin electrons from passing through into the pinned layer and scattering as minority spin electrons. ",
"In CPP read sensors, however, the sense current is passed through in a direction perpendicular to the layers of the read sensor. ",
"The reflection of majority spin electrons at the reference layer/coupling layer interface acts to increase the resistance of the majority spin electrons, which has the effect of diminishing the signal produced by the sense current. ",
"It is therefore desirable for the coupling layer to allow majority spin electrons to pass through without any appreciable scattering in order to enhance the signal produced by the sense current, and ultimately increase the GMR ratio of the read sensor. ",
"It is important, however, to ensure that the magnetic coupling between the reference layer and the pinned layer is maintained in order for the read sensor to function properly.",
"\nThe present invention addresses these and other needs, and offers other advantages over current devices.",
"\nThe present invention is a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) stack configured to operate in a current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) mode. ",
"The GMR stack includes a ferromagnetic free layer, at least one synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF), at least one nonmagnetic spacer layer, and at least one antiferromagnetic pinning layer. ",
"The ferromagnetic free layer has a rotatable magnetic moment. ",
"The SAF includes a ferromagnetic reference layer having a fixed magnetic moment, a ferromagnetic pinned layer having a fixed magnetic moment, and a coupling layer positioned between the reference layer and the pinned layer, wherein the coupling layer is selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ag and CuAg. ",
"The nonmagnetic spacer layer is positioned between the free layer and the SAF. ",
"The antiferromagnetic pinning layer is positioned adjacent to the SAF."
