PARIS -- President Nicolas Sarkozy of France disappointed thousands of prisoners yesterday by refusing to sanction a traditional Bastille Day pardon. Sarkozy's two predecessors, Jacques Chirac and Francois Mitterrand, regularly ordered the release of prisoners on the July 14 holiday, to help relieve prison crowding. But Sarkozy, who is considered a law and order hard-liner, said in an interview that ...

Disinvestment from South Africa Disinvestment from South Africa
Disinvestment (or divestment) from South Africa was first advocated in the 1960s, in protest of South Africa's system of apartheid, but was not implemented on a significant scale until the mid-1980s. The disinvestment campaign, after being realized in federal legislation enacted in 1986 by the United States, is credited by some as pressuring the South African Government to embark on negotiations ultimately leading to the dismantling of the Apartheid system.

TransAfrica Forum was conceived by members of the Congressional Black Caucus in September 1976 and incorporated on July 1, 1977, with the goals of increasing the number of African Americans in high-level international affairs positions, and pressuring the American government to devote more resources to African and Caribbean affairs. The Forum is credited with having had a major impact on the sanctions that helped end apartheid in South Africa.

Summary It was hypothesized that a person who fails in a task which affects his self-esteem will be less helpful than a person who succeeds in such a task. However, when the helping involves a task which is different from the original one but taps the same ability, failing persons will help more than their successful counterparts. Thirty-seven female undergraduates failed or succeeded in a task requiring intellectual ability (Raven's matrices), and were then asked to help by either reperformance of an identical task or by manifesting their intellectual ability in a completely different way (explaining an article in psychology). It was found that more time was devoted to help under the different task condition by Ss who failed than by Ss who succeeded. There was no significant difference between Ss who failed or succeeded in the amount of time devoted to help under the similar task condition, although the results were in the predicted direction.

Previous studies have shown that touching leads to positive behavior, particularly in an educational context. A new experiment was carried out in which students were encouraged to intervene in a course by demonstrating the solution of a statistical exercise on the blackboard. According to the experiment, students were or were not briefly touched on the forearm by the teacher during the corrective exercise. After that, the teacher asked his students to demonstrate the exercise on the blackboard. The results showed that touching increases the volunteers’ rate. Various explanations (familiarity, status and mood) were suggested to explain such results.

Abstract A methylene blue dye reduction test has been assessed as a simple rapid means of monitoring microbial contamination of frozen peas. Experiments using cultures of pea microflora showed a linear relationship between decolourization time and aerobic plate count (APC). In subsequent experiments during the 1983/4 harvesting season dye reduction tests and APC were carried out on 389 frozen pea samples obtained from three commercial factories. A significant correlation was obtained, although longer decolourization times were recorded for equivalent APC. Average decolourization times for frozen pea samples were 8 h and 11 h for counts of 10 5 and 10 4 cfug −1 respectively. A standard calibration curve for peas is included and the method is recommended for monitoring plant hygiene in vegetable freezing factories.

I don't know the max adult weight that it holds, but it is very sturdy and both my husband and I have climbed up it without any trouble. My husband weighs roughly 200 lbs. I, like another commenter, had to cut a couple of inches off the bottom and re-attach the rubber feet in order to make it fit perfectly in our trailer. We are really happy with the ladder.

Amazon's MP3 Downloads will play on any audio player. Zune offers music through its software (in a manner similar to Apple) which is in a mix of MP3 file types that will play on any player, and music formatted to play only on the Zune. This is, again, identical to how Apple operates iTunes - the difference is in what formats each company sells its specially formatted music. For what it's worth, I find the Zune plays music with a richer and fuller sound than iPod. You should also know that both the Zune and the iPod require that you use their software to sync music from your hard drive to the player. I hope this is helpful (and I hope you choose/chose the Zune)!

Faugheen beaten once again at Leopardstown
|
Supasundae proved too strong for Faugheen as he won the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown.
The Willie Mullins-trained Faugheen had plenty to prove following his Christmas eclipse at this track and for a long way it looked as though he might return to form in a blaze of glory in the Grade One feature.
However, after being closely tracked by the Jessica Harrington-trained winner throughout, Faugheen ultimately had no answer as Robbie Power kicked after the last and Supasundae (8-1) powered home to get the better of the 9-10 favourite.
Mick Jazz was third.
Favourite-backers would have been feeling fairly comfortable through the early stages, as Faugheen assumed control from the off under Paul Townend, with Power settling Supasundae on his heels.
Faugheen turned in fine round of hurdling, but his every stride was matched by the winner and as the market leader rapped the top of the final flight ever so slightly, Supasundae was perfectly poised to take full advantage.
As he surged on, Townend asked Faugheen for something extra, but Mullins’ charge had no response, eventually being beaten two and a quarter lengths.
Faugheen’s reverse saw William Hill cut Buveur D’Air, who won at Sandown earlier in the afternoon, to 1-2 for the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Mullins’ runner is now an 8-1 shot, while Supasundae is 4-1 for the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Festival.
Power said: “We were looking for a race for him before Cheltenham — his plan is the Stayers’ Hurdle — and we had a conversation at home in the office and decided to come here.
“We thought it might sharpen him up a little bit as he is quite lazy and hopefully it has worked because he has never jumped as well in his life. He was so slick and was actually getting upsides Faugheen at every hurdle and was fantastic.
“He has been in fantastic form of late and will definitely go for the Stayers’ Hurdle — he’s by Galileo and the drier the ground, the better (at Cheltenham).”
Harrington said: “He’s never jumped as well before, he jumped absolutely super and was always travelling. I thought they’d go too quick for him over two miles and Robert was sure when he had Faugheen in his sights at the last he would stay every inch of the way, and he did.
“When he got to the front he was only pricking his ears and galloping away. I came here to give him a prep run for the three-mile hurdle at Cheltenham and to win this is some prep run!”
She went on: “He’s only in the three-mile hurdle at Cheltenham so that’s where he’ll be going. He is a much better horse on better ground, he does not like slogging around in very muddy ground and that’s why he comes into his own in the spring.
“When he won his bumper, he beat Yanworth and I think he started favourite for the Cheltenham bumper and he is by Galileo so somewhere in there is a turn of foot.”
Supasundae runs in the colours of the late Ann and Alan Potts, and Harrington said: “It’s really sad that neither Ann nor Alan are here to see the fruits of what they started, particularly as the horse is starting to fulfil his true potential and it’s just so sad that neither of them are here.
“I hope their family are delighted with that and I hope their family will carry on having the horses.”
RaceBets cut Supasundae to 7-2 from 6-1 for the Stayers’ Hurdle.
Faugheen’s owner Rich Ricci admitted before the race his horse had questions to answer, but felt he had learned nothing new in defeat.
He said: “Faugheen is 10, after all. He ran well, just didn’t win, whatever the reason I don’t know. He was better than the last day — but no real answers.”
Mullins was more forthright and labelled the effort “disappointing”.
He said: “I was disappointed with him. He’s sort of half back on track, but he’ll have to improve a lot to be back where he was.”
Townend said: “He was better (than at Christmas), but he’s not quite there yet. He didn’t feel back to his Punchestown (Morgiana Hurdle) run for me there, either, but as I said, it was better but we’re not there yet.”
Mick Jazz’s trainer Gordon Elliott was thrilled by the performance of his charge and is now planning to head to Cheltenham before casting his net further afield.
He said: “I’m absolutely delighted with that, couldn’t be happier. He’ll go for the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and then the American Grand National.”
Faugheen’s stablemate Melon could finish only fifth and jockey David Mullins said: “I don’t know what to make of that run really.”

What is the smallest value of n such that an algorithm running at 100*n^2 operates faster than 2^n ? [How to figure out without brute force] Okay, so I needed to find the smallest value of n such that algorithm 100*n^2 is faster than 2^n. [what I have tried] So, I instantly thought '0'. But, I then realized it can't be 0, 0 implies that there are no digits being entered in the algorithm, it also implies that the program does not run or terminate. I typed in 2^32 and got a number over 4 billion. Okay, this is good, I'm finding numbers that have 100*n^2 being faster than 2^n. I halved that, n = 20. I kept inserting values counting down until I got to n = 15. I also counted up from n = 10, the answer is undoubtedly n = 15, but I have a problem . . . .I solved this using brute force and that isn't good. What if I was given a bigger number and a larger bredth of numbers? [What I need] I need a way of finding the value instantaneously by only doing the math, I tried using logarithms, but my answer was wrong, my knowledge of logs is a bit rusty and I need a little help. Think of it as a student trying to solve a question on an SAT or having a timer for a test.

"is" operator behaves unexpectedly with integers Why does the following behave unexpectedly in Python? >>> a = 256 >>> b = 256 >>> a is b True # This is an expected result >>> a = 257 >>> b = 257 >>> a is b False # What happened here? Why is this False? >>> 257 is 257 True # Yet the literal numbers compare properly I am using Python 2.5.2. Trying some different versions of Python, it appears that Python 2.3.3 shows the above behaviour between 99 and 100. Based on the above, I can hypothesize that Python is internally implemented such that "small" integers are stored in a different way than larger integers and the is operator can tell the difference. Why the leaky abstraction? What is a better way of comparing two arbitrary objects to see whether they are the same when I don't know in advance whether they are numbers or not?

Mucuchies Great Pyrenees. Over the years these dog breeds mixed, ultimately creating a powerful and versatile working dog. Others suggest that Mucuchies were deliberately bred by veterinarian Dr. Wilender Ferrari.

During 1926-27 Mucuchies were found throughout Venezuela. After the wide distribution of the breed, its purity and quality was in serious decline in the early part

Perfect for after a spay!
This was perfect! Highly recommend especially for little dogs. I got her a medium and worked great. She didn’t mind at all. Even wanted to play the next day. The cone they gave me was bigger than her and I told them I bought this tube that I didn’t need the vine and they told me no to use the cone. Do they made me by the cone anyways. I never put it on her. I recommend putting it on the dog the day before surgery and let them play and walk around for a couple hours. That way after the surgery they are okay with you putting it on them. In my photos the one was the day before surgery, the other was day of where she was medicated and the other was the day after. I hope this will encourage others to use this for your dog.

Worked great after spay!
I was looking for an alternative to the e-collar to use after my 2 girls were spayed and these worked great! The fabric did not stick to their wounds or snag on their stitches and they seemed to be very comfortable wearing them. We loved the easy access for potty time. I would not recommend leaving your pet alone after surgery wearing just this suit; however, if you plan to be with your pet during their recovery period - this suit makes everyone happier!

Wrong Color and Cheap
The title of the page (this one) I ordered from only says "purple," then once I ordered it said "purple/blue" on my orders page. It seems most people got purple so I wasn't worried, but I was shipped a blue one. I already ordered the blue one on the same day from another page because I wanted both colors. Oh well. Hopefully my other order will turn out wrong too, and I'll get the purple even though it says blue. It's cheaply made. The netting at the ends is uneven and kinda loose. It looks like some parts have extra material that was just left there instead of trimmed up or sewn in. The wire isn't covered on the inside of the tunnel except for by the netting, so it's pretty much exposed and can easily tear through. I'd return it, but my cat already loved it as soon as I opened it and I don't want to take it away from her (the other one is predicted to arrive in a month). So I'll just have to keep an eye on the wire. I suggest making this yourself instead of buying. It will probably be better quality. That's what I'll do once these inevitably fall apart. Two stars only because it looks cool and, unlike me, my cat does approve and she's happy with it, which is why I got it.

Chronicling the lives of the staff of a single police precinct in an unnamed American city, the show received critical acclaim and its production innovations influenced many subsequent dramatic television series that were made. A gritty, realistic look at the life of cops in a large (and unnamed) metropolitan city. Led by Capt. Frank Furillo (Daniel J. Travanti), the cops of the Hill Street Station kept the peace -- though there were plenty of casulties along the way. Focusing more on the characters within in the precinct than on the cases they were trying to solve, Hill Street Blues also featured Veronica Hamel as public defender Joyce Davenport (who later married Capt. Furillo), Michael Conrad (who passed away during the 1983 season) as gruff Sergeant Phil Esterhaus, James B. Sikking (Doogie Howser, M.D.) as Lt. Howard Hunter, Betty Thomas as Officer Lucy Bates and Bruce Weitz as Det. Mick Belker (who sometimes resorted to injuring the felons he apprehended). Daniel J. Travanti as Capt. Frank Furllo Michael Conrad as Sgt. Phil Estrehaus (1981-1984) Michael Warren as Officer Bobby Hill Charles Haid as Officer Andy Renko Veronica Hamel as Joyce Davenport Bruce Wietz as Det.

Can urine cultures and reagent test strips be used to diagnose urinary tract infection in elderly emergency department patients without focal urinary symptoms?
|
To compare the results of urine cultures and reagent strip testing in 2 groups of elderly emergency department (ED) patients: an asymptomatic group unlikely to have urinary tract infection (UTI), and a group who had vague symptoms and were considered at risk for UTI.We performed a prospective observational convenience study with 2 groups of 100 patients aged 65 or older. The asymptomatic group consisted of afebrile patients presenting to the ED with non-infectious complaints, while the symptomatic group included patients presenting with acute confusion, weakness or fever but no apparent urinary symptoms. We defined a positive urine culture as a single organism count greater than 100,000 CFU/mL in mid-stream specimens, or greater than 1000 CFU/mL in catheter specimens. We considered reagent strips positive if they demonstrated any reaction to the leukocyte-esterase assay, the nitrite assay or both.Of the 33 positive cultures, 10 had negative reagent strips. Thirteen of the 14 positive nitrite tests were culture positive for a specificity of 92.8% and a sensitivity of 36.1%. Positive cultures did not infer a diagnosis of UTI. Of the 67 positive reagent strips, 41 (61.2%) were associated with negative cultures. Likelihood ratios (LRs) in both groups affirmed the inability of the reagent strips to help significantly in decision making, with positive and negative LR in the indeterminate range (control group: 2.8 and 0.31, symptomatic group: 2.7 and 0.46, respectively).

To explore the effect of inflammation and undernutrition on the association between hypocholesterolemia and higher overall mortality in high-functioning older persons.Prospective cohort study.Three U.S. communities.A cohort of 870 participants from the MacArthur Studies of Successful Aging.Baseline information was obtained for serum levels of cholesterol, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and albumin; body mass index; prevalent medical conditions; health behaviors; and medications. Crude and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between serum total cholesterol levels and 7-year all-cause mortality, while adjusting for potential confounders.In univariate analysis, the risk ratio of low serum total cholesterol level (<169 mg/dL) for 7-year total mortality was 1.90 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18-3.07). The multiple adjusted risk ratios were 1.82 (95% CI = 1.10-3.00) after controlling for markers of inflammation and nutrition and 1.39 (95% CI = 0.80-2.40) after adjustment for additional cardiovascular risk factors. Sex was an important confounding variable that contributed to the observed inverse association between low serum cholesterol and overall mortality in univariate analysis.

What are the physics problems involved with designing a space ship?
|
Well, you can find many web sites on spacecraft design, try that. But, I can respond to one point. A good spaceship will be a structure designed to be assembled in high orbit, and will not enter any atmosphere. All of the structures necessary for high gravity atmospheric travel are useless dead mass when it come to space travel. We are not quite to this point, but getting closer. Check out the current Mission to Mars plans at the NASA website. Three different launch vehicles. That is the first step, how to get things into space efficiently. If we get better at that, we will see more ambitious construction projects, like a permanent moon base, or a high orbit space station.

How do cockroaches affect our ecosystem?

Not that I can answer the question, but what do you mean by "our ecosystem"? Do you mean to ask what ecological role cockroaches play in urban environments? Or are you asking about their ecological niche in natural habitats?

It really depends on how you want to define power but lets go with the Mongol Empire because they're always fun. By the time they stopped expanding the Mongols had developed into an extremely complex and sophisticated commercial empire. Vital to maintaining their strength and influence were various trade stations throughout the Empire. Speed and communication were the name of the game. The Black Plague brought all of that crashing down. Along with killing off a not insignificant portion of the population, the trade stations so vital to the health Empire were no longer maintained or manned. This was part of the reason Columbus would years later attempt to find a way around Muslim lands in an effort to rediscover the riches of a far off empire.

Mr. Smith, fish know no borders. Like many fishermen who fish from San Diego to Nome. Even salmon are non-residents of the State of Alaska. They swim upriver, spawn, and then again leave. It's worked the same for thousands of years. And yes, fish sold today by these fleets, are currently being sold for the lowest inflation adjusted prices, ever before seen. That's what happens when the State could care less about the ex-vessel price. Sam Cotten offered to sell Bristol Bay Sockeye, in a rigged state bid system, for 15 cents a pound in 2016. Brilliance, from a Sharecropper. Yes, the bulk of the oil industry, is also based in Texas, with a comparatively low value high production expense product, and also has never been anything to base a who State economy on. Did you not read Jay Hammonds Diapering the Devil, as adjusted to the economy of Venezuela, that Alaska almost matches with perfection. His writing begins,"It all started with fish." The bulk of reality is, NONE, A.R.R. approved.

Great article, glad to know our future President spent working hours up here and not just vacationing. The last 2 Democrat Presidents have opened oil drilling areas in our state. I can't think of anything Republicans have opened in the last 30 years. Too bad our up for election serving U.S. Senator is supporting Trump. If Alaskans elected Margaret Stock or Ray Metcalf to U.S Senate and voted for HRC we would most likely improve our economy. All I see Republicans doing is trying to privitze public hunting lands in the west.

10 Unique Animal & Wildlife Species - Pictures ~ The Nature Animals Email This BlogThis! Share to Twitter Share to Facebook There are millions of identified species inhabiting the great planet of earth. Evolutionary traits have given each individual organism a purpose and method for survival. Different animal species thrive in different habitats and they adapt based on the geography, population, and climate of the region. Lately, different animal populations have become threatened by weather changes, disease, human hunting, and poaching. I love to look at pictures and learn about various creatures in this world. I have gathered some of my favorite pictures of animals and included a short description on each. 10. American Beaver The American Beaver is a semi-aquatic species of rodent living in Canada, the United States, and parts of northern Mexico. It was introduced in the most southern province of Argentina, Tierra del Fuego and has since adapted, expanded, and evolved into its natural environmental form. The beaver is the largest rodent found in the United States and second largest in the world. The largest being the South American capybara. It has a scent gland that admits an oily substance known as castoreum, which is used to waterproof its fur. The beaver has the ability to see underwater. There are 25 different subspecies of the American Beaver. These animals are usually active at night and are rarely seen by people. They prefer to stay in the water and can remain submerged for more then 15 minutes. Beavers construct their homes out of sticks, twigs, and mud in lakes, streams, and tidal river deltas. They are well known for building damsacross streams, which can be a problem for land owners. 9. African Wild Dogs African Wild Dogs are carnivorous mammals found in the savannas and lightly wooded areas of Africa. They are a member of the Canidae family and have a Bite Force Quotient of 142, which is amongst the highest rating given to any creature. African Dogs run in packs and they have separate male and female hierarchies. The animals kill ratings are better then any other species, 80% of all hunts end in a kill. They are quickly becoming an endangered species and population numbers are drastically dropping with the biggest cause of this problem being habitat loss and hunting. These dogs are internationally loved and the Botswana Wild Dog Research Project is one of the longest running and most influential predator research projects. They are extremely sociable and family oriented animals. 8. Bald Eagle The Bald Eagle is a bird a prey found in North America. It has been recognized as the national bird of the United States. The Bald Eagle is the largest raptor in North America and has a wingspan averaging 180-234 centimeters. They can fly to an altitude of 10,000 feet and can reach speeds of 30-35 mph. They are strong swimmers, have 7,000 feathers, and a lifespan of around thirty years. This eagle was an endangered species in the 1990’s, but has since expanded its breeding population. They prefer a habitat near seacoasts, rivers, large lakes, oceans, and other large bodies of open water with an abundance of fish and other prey. They are usually found in places with little human activity, but can readily be seen in many areas of the U.S. and Canada. These eagles are truly beautiful creatures and watching them soar is a magical experience. 7. Otters Otters are semi-aquatic mammals and are part of the family Mustelidae. There are thirteen different species and an almost worldwide distribution. Some of the specific types of otters include the Sea otter, Eurasian otter, Spotted-necked otter,Northern river otter, Giant otter, and the African clawless otter. They mainly feed on aquatic animals and routinely stay home in their surrounding habitat. Ottershave long and slim bodies with short limbs, webbed paws, sharp claws, and a muscular tail.They also have an insulated under-fur, which helps trap a layer of air and keep them dry and warm under water. They must eat 15% of their bodyweight in food each

The present study examines work attitudes in the public health sector using the relative impact of mentoring and organisational constraints on job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Data was collected from 161 employees in a large government-owned hospital in south western Nigeria. Results of the hierarchical regression analysis (which controlled for the effects of relevant covariates) showed that when informal mentoring and perceived organisational constraints were entered in the second step, R2 for organisational commitment and job satisfaction increased from .17 to .45 (p = < .001), and from .15 to .49 (p = < .001), respectively. These findings suggest that work attitudes in the public health sector can be improved by facilitating mentoring relationships and removing organisational obstacles. The implications of these findings for policy formulation and effective health care delivery are explained.

A field experiment conducted in high schools throughout the country was aimed at increasing the number of high school students who donate blood. Special interventions that emphasized psychological or educational approaches to heightening motivation to donate, as well as a combined intervention, were compared with the usual approach taken at blood drives. Psychological interventions in which social learning principles (modeling, perceptions of social norms) played important roles either alone or in combination with an educational (informational) approach were more successful in stimulating blood donations than either an educational approach alone or the approaches traditionally followed by the participating local blood centers. The results demonstrated that use of social learning principles in designing interventions to strengthen socially relevant altruistic behavior could be valuable both practically and theoretically.

Persistent thoracic pain with no history of trauma demands diagnostic workup. In this case, the patient complained of right thoracic continuous belt-like pain, sometimes experienced as shooting pain, over several months. The symptoms were first treated conservatively with painkillers, which was rather ineffective. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the thorax surprisingly showed an unclear piston-like enlargement near the seventh rib closely above the spinal canal. Video thoracoscopy was performed to provide further clarification. This showed two lesions of the intercostal nerves of the seventh and eighth ribs. The intercostal nerves were resected in these areas. Histological examination revealed two neurinomas of the intercostal nerves with focal outgrowth of a neural cyst measuring 1.6 cm on the seventh intercostal nerve. The patient was free of any pain after the operation.

Using query interfaces of different Web databases, we propose a new complex schema matching approach, Parallel Schema Matching (PSM). A parallel schema is formed by comparing two individual schemas and deleting common attributes. The attribute matching can be discovered from the attribute-occurrence patterns if many parallel schemas are available. A count-based greedy algorithm identifies which attributes are more likely to be matched. Experiments show that PSM can identify both simple matching and complex matching accurately and efficiently.

A comprehensive product catalog is essential to the success of Product Search engines and shopping sites such as Yahoo! Shopping, Google Product Search, and Bing Shopping. Given the large number of products and the speed at which they are released to the market, keeping catalogs up-to-date becomes a challenging task, calling for the need of automated techniques. In this paper, we introduce the problem of product synthesis, a key component of catalog creation and maintenance. Given a set of offers advertised by merchants, the goal is to identify new products and add them to the catalog, together with their (structured) attributes. A fundamental challenge in product synthesis is the scale of the problem. A Product Search engine receives data from thousands of merchants about millions of products; the product taxonomy contains thousands of categories, where each category has a different schema; and merchants use representations for products that are different from the ones used in the catalog of the Product Search engine. ::: ::: We propose a system that provides an end-to-end solution to the product synthesis problem, and addresses issues involved in data extraction from offers, schema reconciliation, and data fusion. For the schema reconciliation component, we developed a novel and scalable technique for schema matching which leverages knowledge about previously-known instance-level associations between offers and products; and it is trained using automatically created training sets (no manually-labeled data is needed). We present an experimental evaluation using data from Bing Shopping for more than 800K offers, a thousand merchants, and 400 categories. The evaluation confirms that our approach is able to automatically generate a large number of accurate product specifications. Furthermore, the evaluation shows that our schema reconciliation component outperforms state-of-the-art schema matching techniques in terms of precision and recall.

Computer animated ocean waves for feature films are typically carefully choreographed to match the vision of the director and to support the telling of the story. The rough shape of these waves is established in the previsualization (previs) stage, where artists use a variety of modeling tools with fast feedback to obtain the desired look. This poses a challenge to the effects artists who must subsequently match the locked-down look of the previs waves with high-quality simulated or synthesized waves, adding the detail necessary for the final shot. We propose a set of automated techniques for synthesizing Fourier-based ocean waves that match a previs input, allowing artists to quickly enhance the input wave animation with additional higher-frequency detail that moves consistently with the coarse waves, tweak the wave shapes to flatten troughs and sharpen peaks if desired (as is characteristic of deep water waves), and compute a physically reasonable velocity field of the water analytically. These properties are demonstrated with several examples, including a previs scene from a visual effects production environment.

Passage: Coming off their dominating win over the Saints, the Broncos traveled to Paul Brown Stadium for an AFC duel with the Cincinnati Bengals. A 43-yard field goal by placekicker Matt Prater gave the Broncos an early lead, but the Bengals countered in the second quarter, with a 28-yard field goal by placekicker Mike Nugent. The Broncos responded, with a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Peyton Manning to wide receiver Eric Decker. The Broncos added to their lead, when return specialist Trindon Holliday took the opening kickoff of the second half 105 yards for a touchdown. However, the Bengals would reel off 17 unanswered points, consisting of a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Andy Dalton to wide receiver A. J. Green, a 49-field goal by Nugent followed in the fourth quarter by running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushing for a 2-yard touchdown, with the latter two scores coming off Manning interceptions. This gave Cincinnati a 20-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Broncos re-claimed the lead on their next possession, with Manning connecting on a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Joel Dreessen. Ten plays into the Bengals' next possession, Dalton was intercepted by cornerback Champ Bailey at the Bengals' 46-yard line, and the Broncos subsequently added to their lead eight plays later, with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Decker. Trailing 31-20 with 3:36 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Bengals tried to rally, with Nugent nailing a 41-yard field goal with 52 seconds remaining, but the Broncos recovered the onside kick in the game's final minute and subsequently ran out the clock. Peyton Manning improved his personal record to 8-0 all-time in games against the Bengals.

Passage: Coming off their AFC West division-clinching win over the Chargers, the Broncos traveled to Paul Brown Stadium for an AFC duel against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. The Broncos grabbed the early lead, with cornerback Aqib Talib returning an interception off Bengals' cornerback Andy Dalton 33 yards for a touchdown. However, on the first play of the Bengals' third possession, running back Jeremy Hill reeled off an 85-yard touchdown run to tie the score. The Bengals claimed the lead in the second quarter, with a 37-yard field goal by placekicker Mike Nugent. On the Broncos' next possession, quarterback Peyton Manning was intercepted by Bengals' safety Reggie Nelson, and the Bengals capitalized, with Dalton connecting on a 2-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jermaine Gresham. A 49-yard field goal by Nugent with one minute remaining in the first half increased the Bengals' lead to 20-7. The Broncos had one last possession before halftime, however, placekicker Connor Barth missed on a 49-yard field goal attempt. On the Broncos' initial possession of the second half, return specialist Omar Bolden returned the opening kickoff to the Bengals' 21-yard line. Four plays later, running back C. J. Anderson scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. However, the Bengals had a response, as Adam Jones advanced the ensuing kickoff to the Broncos' 27-yard line. Three plays later, Dalton threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Giovani Bernard. The Broncos then scored 14 unanswered points, with Manning throwing a pair of touchdown passes to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders — from 4 and 5 yards out — to give the Broncos a 28-27 lead. The second scoring play came after Broncos' linebacker Von Miller forced a fumble off Hill just as the Bengals were attempting to add to their lead. Rain started to fall in the fourth quarter, and on the Broncos' first fourth quarter possession, Manning was intercepted by Jones deep in Broncos' territory, however, a 15-yard taunting penalty on Nelson pushed the Bengals out of field goal range. The Broncos were forced to punt on their next possession, and return specialist Brandon Tate advanced all the way to the Broncos' 9-yard line. The Broncos defense forced the Bengals to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Nugent to give the Bengals a 30-28 lead with 7:53 remaining in the game. The two teams traded punts on their next possessions, and the Broncos attempted a rally, however, Bengals' cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick returned an interception off Manning 30 yards for a touchdown. With the rain intensifying, the Broncos had one last possession, but Manning threw another interception to Kirkpatrick, this one deep in Bengals' territory — Manning's fourth interception of the game — to seal the victory for the Bengals. This was Peyton Manning's first loss to the Bengals in nine career games.

Aim ::: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a comprehensive overweight intervention program, which utilizes hot bathing, on overweight, community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults in a randomized controlled trial. ::: ::: Methods ::: The program was carried out in a hot bath facility and included 66 community-dwelling middle-aged and older Japanese adults (mean age 61.6 years, SD 7.5, 77.3% were women). The participants were randomly assigned to an exercise, diet and hot bathing intervention group (group A), exercise and diet intervention group (group B), a hot-bathing intervention group (group C) and a control group (group D). The participants in groups A and B participated in a comprehensive intervention program (including exercise and diet classes) twice a week for 3 months, and groups A and C had hot bathing. ::: ::: Results ::: After 3 months, the participants in group A showed a reduction in weight, abdominal circumference, body mass index and body fat percentage compared with the other intervention groups. And the lower extremity function (i.e. walking speed) had greater improvement in the participants in groups A and B compared with groups C and D. In group C, in which only hot bathing was the intervention, there were no significant improvements in measurement items. ::: ::: Conclusions ::: Our study provides preliminary evidence that a comprehensive intervention program, including hot bathing, is useful for community residents with a tendency toward overweight.

Background. A better understanding of the neural mechanisms that underlie the development of fear of falling (FoF) in seniors may help to detect potential treatable factors and reduce future falls. We therefore investigate the neural correlates of FoF in older adults using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). Methods. This cohort study included 117 community-dwelling older adults. At baseline, participants were assessed for FoF, psychiatric symptoms, walking speed, global cognition, and cerebral glucose metabolism with FDG-PET. The incidence of FoF in the participants who did not report FoF at baseline was again ascertained two years later. FDG uptake was compared between the FoF and non-FoF groups. Logistic regression analyses to examine the predictors of newly developed FoF using normalized regional FDG uptake were then performed. Results. At baseline, 50.4% (n = 59) of participants had FoF. The FoF group had significantly decreased glucose metabolism in the left superior frontal gyrus (supplementary motor area, SMA; BA6) compared to the non-FoF group. After two years, 19 out of the 58 participants in the non-FoF group developed FoF. Logistic regression analysis revealed that decreased cerebral glucose metabolism in the left SMA at the baseline was a significant predictor of the future development of FoF, independently of psychiatric symptoms and walking speed. Conclusions. In healthy older adults, hypometabolism in the left SMA, which is involved in motor planning and motor coordination, contributes to the development of FoF. Our result might help elucidate underlying mechanism of the association between deficits in motor control and FoF.

Aims: To investigate the longitudinal relation between physical capacity (isokinetic lifting strength, static endurance of the back, neck, and shoulder muscles, and mobility of the spine) and low back, neck, and shoulder pain. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 1789 Dutch workers participated. At baseline, isokinetic lifting strength, static endurance of the back, neck, and shoulder muscles, and mobility of the spine were measured in the pain free workers, as well as potential confounders, including physical workload. Low back, neck, and shoulder pain were self-reported annually at baseline and three times during follow up. Results: After adjustment for confounders, Poisson generalised estimation equations showed an increased risk of low back pain among workers in the lowest sex specific fertile of performance in the static back endurance tests compared to workers in the reference category (RR = 1.42; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.71), but this was not found for isokinetic trunk lifting strength or mobility of the spine. An increased risk of neck pain was shown for workers with low performance in tests of isokinetic neck/shoulder lifting strength (RR = 1.31; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.67) and static neck endurance (RR = 1.22; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.49). Among workers in the lowest fertiles of isokinetic neck/shoulder lifting strength or endurance of the shoulder muscles, no increased risk of shoulder pain was found. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that low back or neck endurance were independent predictors of low back or neck pain, respectively, and that low lifting neck/shoulder strength was an independent predictor of neck pain. No association was found between lifting trunk strength, or mobility of the spine and the risk of low back pain, nor between lifting neck/shoulder strength or endurance of the shoulder muscles and the risk of shoulder pain.

What causes a script or program to stop working?
|
It's impossible to say, it could be any of a thousand things, the broadest groupings are: * The program could be flawed and not know how to handle the specific scenario it go into. * The program could depend on some other program which can't handle the situation * The program could depends on some hardware (processor, network, router, etc) or any of the software of those things that failed briefly in a minor way, or possibly in a more serious way. Some specific examples of these: * Your program keeps track of your score, but it stores it in a box that only holds numbers up to a certain size, because of how awesome you are the score got too big, and the program designers didn't account for that so it gets handled a "default" way which causes the program to hang or crash. * The program needs to search windows, but you told it to search for "*" and windows happily searches for everything everywhere on your computer which takes forever. * The above situation, but it runs out of memory, or storage space.

Our brains didn't evolve with cars in mind. They evolved with, like, being hunted by a jaguar (or whatever) in mind. So your brain doesn't know what to do with a car. It thinks hey, we're sitting, our body's not really doing anything physical, there's very little activity or stimulus... this seems like a good time to go to bed! What it gets amped up for is you running, lots of stimulus and physical exertion and excitement... in other words, the stuff you go through when being hunted by a jaguar. Try falling asleep while running. Your brain won't go for it.

what dashiell hammett mystery novel was made into a classic film
|
The classic Bogart flick is a near-perfect redition of Dashiell Hammett's tough-guy dialogue. Director John Huston cast the film so well, that it's impossible to imagine the characters any other way. And in all its twists and turns, the movie captures every nuance of Hammett's plot, and even adds to the mix.
|
In THE MALTESE FALCON, Hammett nails every element of the detective genre so precisely, so superbly, that it's a wonder anyone ever tried to write another detective novel after him. There are simply none better, a detective novel that goes beyond its pulp roots, and enters the realm of 'capital L' Literature.

This paper presents a novel method for segmentation of white blood cells (WBCs) in peripheral blood and bone marrow images under different lights through mean shift clustering, color space conversion and nucleus mark watershed operation (NMWO). The proposed method focuses on obtaining seed points. First, color space transformation and image enhancement techniques are used to obtain nucleus groups as inside seeds. Second, mean shift clustering, selection of the C channel component in the CMYK model, and illumination intensity adjustment are employed to acquire WBCs as outside seeds. Third, the seeds and NMWO are employed to precisely determine WBCs and solve the cell adhesion problem. Morphological operations are further used to improve segmentation accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm exhibits higher segmentation accuracy and robustness compared with traditional methods.
|
The watersheds of a function are geometric features which are very useful in picture segmentation. We briefly and intuitively define the notion of watersheds, and we state that this transformation can be performed starting from the skeleton of the function. This skeleton is a particular case of a general morphological transformation called Thinning. Two examples of use of the watersheds are then given : the first one drawn from contour detection of defects in weld radiographs and the other one from the segmentation of bubbles on an electrophoresis gel.

The growth of a panel of 22 different human tumor, leukemia, and lymphoma cell lines was examined in a human tumor cloning assay in agar or methylcellulose and a tritiated thymidine uptake assay. The cultures were performed in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations (0.5-500 ng/ml) of nerve growth factor (NGF). The growth of 17 of the 22 cell lines was not significantly and reproducibly affected by NGF. There was minor (1.2-fold) but reproducible stimulation of clonal growth in one glioblastoma cell line (86-HG-39) by NGF, but in this cell line NGF induced no growth modulation in a tritiated thymidine uptake assay. However, clonal growth of another glioblastoma cell line (87-HG-31) and all three lung cancer cell lines tested (HTB 119, HTB 120, CCL 185) could be stimulated up to 3-fold by NGF with a dose-response relationship for the growth factor. Growth stimulation by NGF could be completely reversed by neutralizing anti-NGF antibody and by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. Evaluation of secondary plating efficiency revealed the stimulation of colony formation as representing self-renewal and not terminal differentiation. Reverse transcriptase-PCR experiments in the five responding cell lines showed expression of both low-affinity NGF receptor (glycoprotein 75) and c-trk transcripts on the mRNA level. Of the five responding cell lines, only 86-HG-39, the cell line with the lowest responsiveness, revealed low-affinity NGF receptor on the protein level; the other four cell lines with high responsiveness, including the three lung cancer cell lines, expressed no low-affinity NGF receptor as shown by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis and immunoprecipitation using the ME 20.4 antibody. Immunoprecipitation using anti-trk antibodies was negative in all five responding cell lines. However, binding studies with iodinated NGF showed only low-affinity binding on the 86-HG-39 cell line and only high-affinity binding on the high-responder cell lines CCL 185 and 87-HG-31. In summary, our data suggest that NGF can be operative in stimulation of clonal growth of malignant tumor cells. High-affinity but not low-affinity binding sites mediate signal transduction for clonal growth and signaling involves tyrosine kinase activity.

The Good
- Light is a good light. Good for emergency and light use.
- Dynamo charger works well. Few minutes of cranking and you can use the fire starter several times and the light for a good while
- Whistle works, nothing impressive, but hey! it's a whistle!
- Includes carabiner which is handy to clip to pack or belt loop
- Includes charging cables
The Bad
- Doesn't charge an iPhone (not that I know, i wouldn't buy an iphone)
- Compass is worthless. doesn't point in any specific direction
- While fire starter is included. It is virtually worthless. Can't get paper or cotton ball lit. Looks like it was designed to get a cigarette started.
The Ugly
Personally, I like a lot of "Secur Products" and would buy more. This tool felt like a catch all for a hike or camping trip. While the light is great, the other accessories included didn't meet expectations. I will continue to use it and like it, just wish I had a good compass and the fire starter was a little better. Maybe a integrated firesteel instead of the electric fire starter.

In the context of examining the feasibility and advisability of computerizing the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), a review of current literature was conducted with the following goals: (1) determining the skills that are most important in good legal reasoning according to the literature; (2) determining the extent to which existing LSAT item types and subtypes are designed to assess these skills; and (3) suggesting test specifications and new or refined item types that could be developed to assess any such skills. Overall, the findings validate the current LSAT, with its existing item types and subtypes and their mix. The skills identified as important in recent literature on legal reasoning are the ones on which the LSAT focuses, reasoning and text comprehension and analysis. Some areas for change were identified at the level of specific skill categories. Some new test specifications and item types and formats are suggested as possible ways of aligning the skills that the LSAT is designed to assess. (Contains 38 references.)

Critical Legal Studies poses a direct and expressed challenge to the basic tenets of American legal education and scholarship. Critical Legal Studies postulates that law is not a scientific exercise involving the application of objective principles, but rather a creative process involving the selection of conflicting rules which has the effect of reinforcing the existing political order. In an effort to explain the contribution of Critical Legal Studies to argumentation theory, this essay briefly discusses the role of legal reasoning in the American legal system, describes and critiques Legal Positivism, lays the intellectual foundation for Critical Legal Studies, and considers the implications that this conception of jurisprudence has for argumentation theory.

Egg to eclosion development time and survivorship were assayed on four laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster that had been reared for over 600 generations in continuous light (LL) and constant temperature. The assays were performed in three environments: continuous light (LL), periodically varying light/dark cycles (LD 12:12 hr), and continuous darkness (DD). Development time in LL was significantly less than that in LD, which, in turn, was significantly less than that in DD, whereas survivorship did not differ significantly among the three treatments. The results indicate that individuals from Drosophila populations routinely maintained in LL do not suffer any deleterious effects of LL treatment on pre-adult fitness. Other studies on these populations have shown that free-running period (t) of the eclosion rhythm in DD is greater than that in LD. Our results are, thus, also consistent with the notion that development time may be a function of the free-running period.

Abstract A one-dimensional composition model of Titan's upper atmosphere is constructed, coupling 36 neutral species and 47 ions. Energy inputs from the Sun and from Saturn's magnetosphere and updated temperature and eddy coefficient parameters are taken into account. A rotating technique at constant latitude and varying local-time is proposed to account for the diurnal variation of solar inputs. The contributions of photodissocation, neutral chemistry, ion–neutral chemistry, and electron recombination to neutral production are presented as a function of altitude and local time. Local time-dependent mixing ratio and density profiles are presented in the context of the T A and T 5 Cassini data and are compared in detail to previous models. An independent and simplified ion and neutral scheme (19-species) is also proposed for future 3D-purposes. The model results demonstrate that a complete understanding of the chemistry of Titan's upper atmosphere requires an understanding of the coupled ion and neutral chemistry. In particular, the ionospheric chemistry makes significant contributions to production rates of several important neutral species.
|
The APSIS reactor has been designed to simulate in the laboratory with a VUV synchrotron irradiation the photochemistry occurring in planetary upper atmospheres. A N 2 -CH 4 Titan-like gas mixture has been studied, whose photochemistry in Titan's ionospheric irradiation conditions leads to a coupled chemical network involving both radicals and ions. In the present work, an ion-neutral coupled model is developed to interpret the experimental data, taking into account the uncertainties on the kinetic parameters by Monte Carlo sampling. The model predicts species concentrations in agreement with mass spectrometry measurements of the methane consumption and product blocks intensities. Ion chemistry and in particular dissociative recombination are found to be very important through sensitivity analysis. The model is also applied to complementary environmental conditions, corresponding to Titan's ionospheric average conditions and to another existing synchrotron setup. An innovative study of the correlations between species concentrations identifies two main competitive families, leading respectively to saturated and unsaturated species. We find that the unsaturated growth family, driven by C 2 H 2 , is dominant in Titan's upper atmosphere, as observed by the Cassini INMS. But the saturated species are substantially more intense in the measurements of the two synchrotron experimental setups, and likely originate from catalysis by metallic walls of the reactors.

BACKGROUND ::: Studies suggest that oral immunotherapy (OIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for food allergy hold promise; however, the immunologic mechanisms underlying these therapies are not well understood. ::: ::: ::: OBJECTIVE ::: We sought to generate insights into the mechanisms and duration of suppression of immune responses to peanut during immunotherapy. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: Blood was obtained from subjects at baseline and at multiple time points during a placebo-controlled trial of peanut OIT and SLIT. Immunologic outcomes included measurement of spontaneous and stimulated basophil activity by using automated fluorometry (histamine) and flow cytometry (activation markers and IL-4), measurement of allergen-induced cytokine expression in dendritic cell (DC)-T-cell cocultures by using multiplexing technology, and measurement of MHC II and costimulatory molecule expression on DCs by using flow cytometry. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: Spontaneous and allergen-induced basophil reactivity (histamine release, CD63 expression, and IL-4 production) were suppressed during dose escalation and after 6 months of maintenance dosing. Peanut- and dust mite-induced expression of TH2 cytokines was reduced in DC-T-cell cocultures during immunotherapy. This was associated with decreased levels of CD40, HLA-DR, and CD86 expression on DCs and increased expression of CD80. These effects were most striking in myeloid DC-T-cell cocultures from subjects receiving OIT. Many markers of immunologic suppression reversed after withdrawal from immunotherapy and in some cases during ongoing maintenance therapy. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSION ::: OIT and SLIT for peanut allergy induce rapid suppression of basophil effector functions, DC activation, and TH2 cytokine responses during the initial phases of immunotherapy in an antigen-nonspecific manner. Although there was some interindividual variation, in many patients suppression appeared to be temporary.

The cello plays in ba ⦠ss clef and it's the second largest instrument in the string family (the largest is the contra bass/double bass).You use a bow to play or you can pluck with your finger; this is known as pizzicato.t has the C string, G string, D string and A string.This is an instrument that is played i ⦠n the orchestra not band or jazz.11-17 inches is just about the length of viola.Any instrument like the base, cello, or any violins the viola can be plucked not just played with the bow.

Does this have wifi. I would just like to have a wire from computer to camera. Not sure I can figure out the wifi.
|
I was a little disappointed that while it does have wifi, the wifi is only to download to mobile devices. You need the usb cord that is included to download to a laptop or desk computer. I love this camera, by the way.

I am not an expert by any means, with regard to the application you describe above, however ;my experience with this PWM, while hooked up to a heavy duty 12 Volt car battery and a Hydrogen producing cell block; performs the VERY same as a Rheostat normally would. I have yet to hook it up to anything below12v(such as the 3.90 A 12 volt power source you mention) and see what results I can get.

Bisphenol-A-glycidyldimethacrylate (BisGMA) is used in many resin-based dental materials. It was shown in vitro that BisGMA was released into the adjacent biophase from such materials during the first days after placement. In this study, the uptake, distribution, and excretion of [14C]BisGMA applied via gastric and intravenous administration (at dose levels well above those encountered in dental care) were examined in vivo in guinea pigs to test the hypothesis that BisGMA reaches cytotoxic levels in mammalian tissues. [14C]BisGMA was taken up rapidly from the stomach and intestine after gastric administration and was widely distributed in the body following administration by each route. Most [14C] was excreted within one day as 14CO2. The peak equivalent BisGMA levels in guinea pig tissues examined were at least 1000-fold less than known toxic levels. The peak urine level in guinea pigs that received well in excess of the body-weight-adjusted dose expected in humans was also below known toxic levels. The study therefore did not support the hypothesis.

Unpolymerized dental monomers can leach out into the oral biophase and are bioavailable for metabolism. We hypothesize that metabolites would be less toxic than parent monomers. We first identified the formation of metabolites from bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE) and Bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (BISGMA) after their exposure to liver S9 fractions. Then, the metabolites and parent compounds were subjected to in vitro cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and estrogenicity studies. Bisphenol A bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether and bisphenol F bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether were the hydroxylated metabolites of BISGMA and BFDGE, respectively. Cytotoxicity against L929 cells showed that the metabolites were significantly (p < 0.05) less cytotoxic than the parent monomers. Only BFDGE was mutagenic in the Ames assay with strain TA100 of Salmonella typhimurium. Parent and metabolite compounds did not stimulate estrogen-dependent MCF-7 cell proliferation above solvent controls. These results indicated that the hydroxylated metabolites were non-mutagenic, non-estrogenic, and less cytotoxic than their parent monomers.

A method is introduced for detecting intrusions at the level of privileged processes. Evidence is given that short sequences of system calls executed by running processes are a good discriminator between normal and abnormal operating characteristics of several common UNIX programs. Normal behavior is collected in two waysc Synthetically, by exercising as many normal modes of usage of a program as possible, and in a live user environment by tracing the actual execution of the program. In the former case several types of intrusive behavior were studieds in the latter case, results were analyzed for false positives.

I really love cooking I try all kinds of ways of cooking But remember it also depend on the skill and type of training an individual cook has. You cant just throw eggs in a pan and be a pro.
I can make scrambled eggs but that is about it haha

Cooking and other food establishments. Cooking can also occur through chemical reactions without the presence of heat, such as in ceviche, a traditional South American dish where fish is cooked with the acids in lemon or lime juice.
Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans. It may have started around 2 million years ago, though archaeological evidence for it reaches no more than 1 million years ago.
The expansion of agriculture, commerce, trade, and transportation between civilizations in different regions offered cooks many new

Meal use of heat. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world, from grilling food over an open fire to using electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends. The ways or types of cooking also depend on the skill and type of training an individual cook has. Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food establishments.

mount etna is what type of volcano
|
Mount Etna is a stratovolcano, which means that it is a composite cone that rises dramatically to a relatively small summit center. Stratovolcanoes are the picture-postcard volcanoes that look like pyramids on the horizon, but they are considered the most dangerous due to their highly explosive eruptions.
|
Mount Etna has the longest documented eruption history of any volcano in the world. Lava flows at the base of the volcano have been dated back to 1500 B.C., and ancient Greeks had a variety of myths surrounding it.

Like most Wii things you cannot play all the levels ...

Like most Wii things you cannot play all the levels unless your connected to the internet as well as you have to pass one level to get to the next. I gave this game to Goodwill. I do not know why Wii thought it was a good idea to block access to certain features of their games until you play or pass certain game criteria. I bought the game I should be able to play what I want. Thank goodness my wife won our Wii game in raffle. I would have been frustrated that I bought this system on my own.

In Herodotus, it mentions the Otanes family "submit[s] to the rule of the king only so far as they themselves choose.". Does this still apply to modern day?
|
When you say "Does this apply to modern day", do you mean to ask whether it is still the case that the family of Otanes "submit[s] to the rule of the king only so far as they themselves choose [and] continues to be the only free family" in modern-day Iran (or Afghanistan, or Iraq, etc.)? If that's really what you're asking, then the answer is of course that there is no longer an Achaemenid Empire, there is no longer a king of Persia, and there is no longer a Persia in a strict sense. The Achaemenids ceased to exist over two thousand years ago. Otanes and his family appear only in the context of the 6th and 5th century BCE Achaemenid Empire. [Here's a list of them.](_URL_0_) The fifth century BCE is when Herodotus was writing; that is why he says "still to this day".

Following orders isn't a good enough excuse for most people. If everybody in Germany just said no, it never would have happened. And when you have those statistics that say most Germans didn't like what was going on? Doesn't help. It's just modern day people trying to atone for an 80 year old crime and prevent it from happening again.

not incredibly comfortable, but very durable
|
These pants will last a long time - I'm sure of it. They feel like a thick tent material but seem to be very well made and if I wore them more, I'm sure I could break them in. Right now they sit on the shelf until I really need a strong pair of pants at which time I will gladly put these on. But for day to day wear, they are pretty stiff.
|
They do the job, no complaints really. They are pretty rigid but they just need to be broken in.

is california driver's license enhanced
|
The California state senate recently passed a bill to offer driverâs licenses embedded with radio-frequency ID chips. It would have made California the first state bordering Mexico to offer so-called Enhanced Driverâs Licenses, EDLs. But the stateâs Assembly Appropriations Committee shelved those plans. EDLs let you rapidly reenter the U.S. at a land border without needing a passport.

California DUI. Enhanced Penalties. The constantly accelerating (and politically popular) DUI crack- down, together with the increasing carrot-and-stick presence of the U.S. Department of Transportation, has resulted in a wave of new and ever-harsher approaches to punishment in drunk driving cases.

Green River Killer.
The Green River is infamous as the location where the first victims of serial killer Gary Ridgway were found in the early 1980s. Most of these victims were prostitutes that worked an active "stroll" along Pacific Highway South. Although only a few bodies were found in the river, the unidentified killer was known as the "Green River Killer". These murders went unsolved for over 20 years. For many years, Dave Reichert led the investigation
