We explore a new magical philosophy that focuses heavily on the consciousness alteration, shamanistic Gnosis, and building a community based on mutual compassion along with ancestor veneration. It focuses less on results and more on personal development paired with harmonious group dynamics. The goal of this occult system is to reintroduce the world to tribalism in a modern, accepting context, always group-inclusive but supreme in championing the growth of an individual.

Challenges in defining predictive markers for response to endocrine therapy in breast cancer. Endocrine therapy is a major treatment modality for hormone-dependent breast cancer. It has a relatively low morbidity, and there is evidence that antihormonal treatments have had a significant effect in reducing mortality for breast cancer. Despite this, resistance to endocrine therapy, either primary or acquired during treatment, occurs in the majority of patients, and is a major obstacle to optimal clinical management. There is therefore an urgent need to identify, on an individual basis, those tumors that are most likely to respond to endocrine therapy (so sparing patients with resistant tumors the needless side effects of ineffective therapy), and the mechanisms of resistance in tumors that are nonresponsive to treatment (so these can be bypassed). These needs are the focus of this review, which discusses the particular issues encountered when investigating the potential of multigene expression signatures as predictive factors for response to aromatase inhibitors, which have recently become front-line endocrine therapies for postmenopausal patients with breast cancer.

“I am not a fan of governing by tweet. I’m just not, and I know that we’re in a different world now and we communicate differently, but in my view there is a seriousness and a professionalism that comes with the executive," she told the Ketchikan Daily News in an interview published Saturday. Murkowski added while she and Trump disagree on social media, and the president "is able to capture people's attention," some of the "inflammatory rhetoric and the name calling I don’t think is constructive.” ADVERTISEMENT Trump has stepped up his war of words with the isolated Asian country, including mocking leader Kim Jong Un as "Little Rocket Man," and warning that the regime “won’t be around much longer” if it continues threats against the U.S. She added to the Daily News that she is "worried" that the Republican Party is becoming too exclusive. “Well, I am (worried) in the sense that, as a party, I believe we have always been kind of broader and more inclusive of differing views across the spectrum,” Murkowski said. "We seem to be more fractured within our party now than in the big-tent Ronald Reagan days."
This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The RCMI-supported core shared research facilities at the Center for Study of Gene Structure and Function at Hunter College provide essential services to support the first-class research of our scientists. It is imperative that we improve the strengths of the facilities by constantly updating the equipment and expertise of the managers and users. The facilities also allow us to compete for topnotch scientists, highly qualified graduate students and post-doctoral researchers who contribute to our research output. An environment where researchers compete successfully for outside funding is critical to our overall aims, and with the addition of new and planned facilities we will be able to better address the problem of health disparities in the United States. In the next grant period, we plan to hire essential personnel and to upgrade the equipment in the following facilities: Bioimaging, Animal Care, Genomics, Internet2 and the Gene Center Local Area Network (LAN). Our plans include improving these core shared research facilities as well as the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and the X-Ray Diffraction Facilities. These improvements require the following: (a) supporting service contracts with grant funds and users'fees;(b) upgrading the skills of facilities'managers through advanced training, continuing education, external collaborations and professional certifications;and (c) upgrading standard operating procedures, record-keeping, manuals, and websites. Improving our core facilities will help us to maximize our scientific output and attain the goals of the RCMI Program.
The invention relates to a contact-free plate conveyor particularly for glass plates. In the float glass production, the glass web which has been formed and solidified on a liquid metal bath is carried away in a well-known manner by plate conveyors which are generally roller conveyors on which the glass web is moved with its bath side disposed on the rollers. During movement, the finished glass web is cut longitudinally and transversely into glass plates of the desired format and these glass plates are also moved by plate conveyors to stacking station where the plates are removed from the conveyor. By its contact with the rollers during its movement over the rollers, small traces remain on the support side of the glass. These traces are normally not noticeable but are objectionable for some applications and therefore detrimentally affect the quality of the glass surface. It is the object of the present invention to provide a conveyor by which such traces inflicted by the mechanical contact between the glass surface and conveyor elements is avoided.
Toronto: In a bid to determine whether distant stars with planets orbiting them can harbour life, a global team of astronomers has discovered a new way to measure the pull of gravity at the surface of distant stars. Knowing the surface gravity of a star is essentially knowing how much you would weigh on that star. If stars had solid surfaces on which you could stand, then your weight would change from star to star. The new method allows scientists to measure surface gravity with an accuracy of about four percent, for stars too distant and too faint to apply current techniques. Since surface gravity depends on the star's mass and radius (just as your weight on Earth depends on its mass and radius), this technique will enable astronomers to better gauge the masses and sizes of distant stars. “If you don't know the star, you don't know the planet. The size of an exoplanet is measured relative to the size of its parent star,” said study co-author and professor Jaymie Matthews from University of British Columbia. If you find a planet around a star that you think is Sun-like but is actually a giant, you may have fooled yourself into thinking you've found a habitable Earth-sized world. “Our technique can tell you how big and bright is the star, and if a planet around it is the right size and temperature to have water oceans, and maybe life,” Matthews added. The new technique called the “autocorrelation function timescale technique” or timescale technique for short, uses subtle variations in the brightness of distant stars recorded by satellites like Canada's MOST and NASA's Kepler missions. Future space satellites will hunt for planets in the 'Goldilocks Zones' of their stars. Not too hot, not too cold, but just right for liquid water oceans and maybe life. Future exoplanet surveys will need the best possible information about the stars they search, if they're to correctly characterize any planets they find. “The timescale technique is a simple but powerful tool that can be applied to the data from these searches to help understand the nature of stars like our Sun and to help find other planets like our Earth,” explained lead author Thomas Kallinger from University of Vienna. It will play an exciting role in the study of planets beyond the Solar System, many so distant that even the basic properties of the stars they orbit can't be measured accurately. The new method is described in a study published in the journal Science Advances.
Red Army Strait Red Army Strait (, Proliv Krasnoy Army) is a strait in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia. It is named after the Red Army (Krasnaya Armiya). Geography The Red Army Strait is wide. It separates Komsomolets Island in the north from October Revolution Island in the south and connects the Kara Sea in the west with the Laptev Sea in the east. The Yuny Strait, separating Pioneer Island from Komsomolets Island, branches to the northwest in the eastern part of the strait. The huge Academy of Sciences Glacier reaches the shore all along the northern side of the strait, while the smaller Rusanov Glacier flanks the eastern part of its southern shore. Cape October is located in the northern shore of October Revolution Island, facing the Red Army Strait. Visoky Island lies about east and Bolshoy Izvestnikovky Island lies about to the southwest of the cape.

The patent documents describe a simple workflow for delivery via drone parachute. The images show the steps, which include "Pack item, attach parachute shipping label," "Attach to UAV" and then "Drop at delivery location." The patent's abstract says that the system can include a self-adhesive backing, a "plurality of parachute cords" and a breakaway cover to land a package at a delivery spot without damaging it. The label may also include graphics and text to include an address, velocity and spin information on the package. The system may also include a harness to prevent cord tangling from any spinning during an item's descent. Whether the parachute shipping label will ever grace a box full of gear from Amazon is anyone's guess, but this is certainly an interesting way to slow packages before they hit the ground. The company wants to keep its current delivery workflow process in place, writing in the patent that it wants any new aerial delivery system to be "preferably compact, self-contained and relatively inexpensive." That bodes well for those of us who can't wait to get their sundries from the sky.
This is the first of a new series from MyCrypto where we shine the spotlight on one of our team members to introduce them to our community and learn a bit more about them. Hey Michael! Thanks for taking time out of your day to answer a few questions. Michael “blurpesec” Hahn What is your role at MyCrypto? My role is to provide support and education for users. On a typical day I would provide support to users on Reddit, and Twitter, as well as through email ([email protected]) on anything ranging from security issues to potential bugs or problems with sending tokens or ETH, update our knowledge base, keep my eye out for recent security trends and interact with other people on our team to provide feedback for ongoing development tasks. I also interact with our partners to increase the fluidity of their product’s integration on our website. Since I am interested in security, I also try to contribute to the security tools that we help sponsor and update (EtherAddressLookup, EtherSecurityLookup and EtherScamDB). What initially got you into cryptocurrency? Initially, I got into cryptocurrency because I was looking into becoming a security professional (I study Information Tech. in school) and I stumbled into an ongoing privacy debate about the the importance of individual privacy and how it has consistently been violated by governments and large tech organizations without many people even realizing. I read about a project that had the idea to create a peer-to-peer cash that would allow for some level of anonymization. I think people often misunderstand what innovation Bitcoin provided. The true innovation that Bitcoin provides is in the form of a method for consensus. The software that everyone runs has to be agreed upon by the people running it. Otherwise, the software splits with many people using different sets of software (different blockchains). This means that for the first time ever, every user has the ability to complete monetary-based transactions and interactions with others, while also only giving up the amount of data about themselves that they’re comfortable with. If someone is uncomfortable with the level of privacy in Bitcoin, than they can use Monero which boasts a higher level of user privacy. This interest eventually lead me to Ethereum, which I think has the widest set of potential use-cases, especially where it relates to humanitarian use cases. What did you do before you joined MyCrypto? Before I joined MyCrypto I was a student studying IT. I’ve worked in support helpdesk-type roles as well as in a systems administrator role. What do you love about what you do? I love that I have the opportunity to spend my time learning and teaching others about at least one of my interests. I also love that I am able to work on projects that interest me, with people who have some similar interests. What’s challenging about your job? MyCrypto is a startup, and in startups, you need to be flexible. Some days I’ll work on providing support for users all day, some days I am trying to code, sometimes I am working with our team on approaches to security issues that pop up. The most challenging part about my job is trying to balance spending time on exploring my interests in my job, and spending time with my family and friends outside of work. What’s something you’d like to learn more about? I’m trying to get into a more software development-type role that balances security and usability. I want to build things that people will use, and I want to learn more about the cryptography and the security behind securing tools for people to use. I want to build things that people will use, and I want to learn more about the cryptography and the security behind securing tools for people to use. What’s one of your favorite teams/projects/cryptocurrencies in the space? Why? My favorite project would have to be Giveth (https://giveth.io) as it is trying to open-source the giving process. Giveth has also contributed much to the Ethereum ecosystem’s smart contract usage, security, and scalability. I also really like anyone who is working to provide security for people in the ecosystem, especially when it comes to people/teams that aren’t trying to make a large for-profit venture out of it. What’s the number one thing that you would like the cryptocurrency community to hear? Losing your funds due to speculation is not nearly as bad as losing them due to a relatively preventable hack or phish. Be careful with your funds, or you will lose them. We track dozens of hacking/phishing campaigns every single day that are being created to exploit your inattentiveness due to security. More About Michael What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? I spend my free-time researching things that interest me: futurism, security, personal finance, technology, sociology, space, and economics. I’ve been known to spend hours watching documentaries about engineering and space, as well as biology, alternative energy, cryptography, privacy, personal finance and economics, and social movements. Where is your favorite place you’ve lived? Where do you live now? I’ve only ever lived in Florida, in the US, but I want to move to the Pacific NW. Maybe Oregon or Washington states. What makes you want to live in the Pacific Northwest? The climate is significantly better than where I’m at in Florida (dry vs wet), a different culture (older vs younger), being closer to more tech-focused cities, and forests. What’s your highest level of non-computer-based achievement? I’ve found a good network of friends. I’m not really sure that qualifies as an achievement. If you emulate the type of person that you want to be friends with, those types of people will naturally find their way into your life What’s an interesting random thing about you? I enjoy cooking, much to my girlfriend’s delight. I’m also terrified of clowns and spiders. What’s one of your favorite dishes to cook? I enjoy making a pork roast in the oven, but I’m also a fan of steak and asparagus over fire or charcoal. Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself with us today, it’s great to get to know you a bit more. If someone wanted to get in touch with you or follow you, where should they go? Message me on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/blurpesec/ Or follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/blurpesec Thanks Michael! Before we end it, share a picture of yourself doing something fun, your pet, etc. This is my pupper, Abby. She’s an old pup, but I enjoy hanging out with her!
The inventive concept relates generally to electronic data storage technologies. More particularly, the inventive concept relates to data storage devices and related methods of operation. The information age has produced an explosive increase in the demand for personal data storage. With this increasing demand, various types of personal data storage devices have proliferated. For example, hard disk drives (HDDs) have been widely used due to various attractive features such as high recording density, high speed of data transmission, fast data access time, and low cost. Unfortunately, an HDD can be damaged by even slight shock and vibration due to its use of a platter and complex mechanical parts. In recent years, solid-state disks or drives (SSDs) have been developed to replace HDDs. An SSD is a data storage device that uses a solid-state semiconductor memory as a main form of data storage. Unlike HDDs, SSDs do not include a platter and related mechanical parts. As a result, SSDs tend to have lower mechanical driving time and latency, and faster read/write times compared with HDDs. They also tend to have fewer errors due to latency and mechanical friction compared with HDDs, so their reliability in performing read/write operations tends to be better than that of HDDs. Moreover, SSDs generate relatively little heat and noise during operation, and they can withstand physical shock, which makes them increasingly more attractive than HDDs. Due to the increasing popularity of SSDs, researchers are currently devoting great efforts to improving numerous aspects of their performance, including read/write speed, storage capacity, power consumption, reliability, durability, and many others.

This unexpected outcome led to an investigation of the reasons for this lack of use. Results of the study informed program revision including the teaching tool and teaching strategies designed to enhance program effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.
Q: ADGV C# DataGridView - update query bug? I'm trying to use auto-generated advancedDataGrid - ADGV (adgv.codeplex.com). Problem is that the below shown procedure does not succeed with updating the SQL table every time... It is exactly every second Event raised... private void advancedDataGridView1_CellEndEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { int rowIdx = advancedDataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex; DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)advancedDataGridView1.Rows[rowIdx].DataBoundItem; DataRow dr = drv.Row; this.levTableAdapter.Update(dr); //strange, but Update is done every second time.... } How to debug it?, if I add another line of this.levTableAdapter.Update(dr) - it will not help either... EDIT: Looked into behaviour again and I have to update: 1st enter "A" - noChangeSQL, Event picks "A", "A" in the datagrid cell. 2nd enter "B" - "A" in SQL, Event picks "A", "A" in cell. 3rd enter "C" - "A" in SQL, Event picks "C", "C" in cell. 4rd enter "D" - "C" in SQL, Event picks "C", "C" in cell. 5th enter "E" - "C" in SQL, Event picks "E", "E" in cell. A: Are you sure, it's every second event? Could it be it doesn't save just the last row you changed? If it is a timing issue or excecution order problem (like row state update happening after EndEdit event gets handled), you can defer it a bit, with Form's BeginInvoke, like this: private void advancedDataGridView1_CellEndEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { int rowIdx = advancedDataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex; DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)advancedDataGridView1.Rows[rowIdx].DataBoundItem; DataRow dr = drv.Row; BeginInvoke((Action)(() => SaveRowChanges(dr))); } private void SaveRowChanges(DataRow dr) { DataRow[] rows = { dr }; adapter.Update(rows); }
Continuous renal replacement therapy in dogs and cats. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a relatively new extracorporeal blood purification modality that is rapidly gaining acceptance for the treatment of acute kidney injury in cats and dogs. The author has used CRRT for the treatment of leptospirosis, tumor lysis syndrome, heatstroke, pre- and postsurgical support of ureteral obstructions, as well as aminoglycoside and melamine toxicities. As the name implies, CRRT is a slow gradual process, and once treatment begins, patients continue therapy until their renal function returns, they are transitioned to intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), or they are euthanized. Unlike IHD, which is a primarily diffusive therapy, CRRT uses diffusion as well as convection. Because of its efficient use of fluids, CRRT units use prepackaged fluids, eliminating the need for costly water purification systems that are needed for IHD.

Motorsport Network buys shares in Formula E Motorsport Network have announced that they have acquired a shareholding in the Formula E Championship. The motorsport digital technology business, who own Motorsport.com and Autosport among several other outlets, said that they had purchased an unspecified number of shares in Formula E Holdings Limited, the commercial rights holder for Formula E. The company said that it was part of a broader strategy to take a leading position in elective vehicle and electric racing media. Making the announcement ahead of the first virtual Formula E race in Las Vegas, Motorsport.com’s Chairman Zak Brown said that the purchase was made following a growth in engagement in the series through their motorsport publications. “The intelligence we can add to this picture is a discernible trend among our digital motorsport audiences to consume the racing content from Formula E. “This has underwritten our decision to invest in the series.” Motorsport Network said that the investment would also coincide with a push on their automotive website Motor1.com to have more content focused on electric vehicles. This again, according to their Editor-in-Chief John Neff, was based on increased interest from their readership in green automotive developments. Speaking about the purchase, founder and CEO of Formula E, Alejandro Agag said that the decision was made due to the growth of interest in the sport. He said, “The investment decision made by Motorsport Network has been evidence-based – a data-led decision driven by the growth in demand for Formula E content on the world’s leading motorsport websites. “This is the fusion of two future-focused businesses that are re-shaping motor racing for the digital generation that will bring the benefit of the most integrated and extensive motoring and motorsport media operation to our series.”

Such operation is characterized by the production in the anode circuit of water, nitrogen diffusing through the membrane separating the anode compartment from the cathode compartment, as well as possibly impurities initially present in the hydrogen and which tend to concentrate. So as to maintain optimum operating conditions, water, nitrogen and impurities are eliminated by proceeding generally to regular purges of the hydrogen circuit. The frequency of the necessary purges depends on the characteristics of the cell as well as the operating cycles and can range from several seconds to several minutes. One of the operating characteristic of such cells is also to leave, at the outlet of the anode circuit, a residual quantity of unconsumed hydrogen which is thus lost if the elimination of water, nitrogen and impurities is carried out by periodic purges. So as to avoid a loss of hydrogen, the prior art ensured a recirculation of the mixture from the outlet of the anode compartment to reinject it at the inlet of the same compartment of the cell. Such a reinjection ensures continued mixing of the gases and improves the operation in the presence of impurities and nitrogen but however does not solve the problem of recovery of the water which is to be recovered so as to promote the hydraulic balance of the operation, particularly to ensure moistening and/or cooling of the cells. The choice of proceeding with recirculation of the mixture requires using particular technical means and, particularly, the presence of a circulator which constitutes a rotary machine that is relatively complicated and subject to sensitive operating conditions, particularly in the presence of liquid water. Such a rotary machine constitutes costly equipment, requiring substantial maintenance and, as a result, substantially increasing the purchase price as well as the operating cost of a fuel cell. Moreover, it has been noted that the recirculation of mixture does not always improve the conditions effective to eliminate water, particularly when the speed of the principal gaseous mixture is not sufficient. This drawback could be overcome at least in part by subjecting the mixture to more rapid recirculation, but then the problems inherent in the presence of the circulator proportionately increase. No matter what the operational conditions described above, it is moreover always necessary to have a particularly effective phase separator so as to be able to ensure the separation of the water. However, such a separator constitutes a relatively burdensome accessory, occupying a substantial volume and giving rise to problems of inertia in the case of stopping or starting the operation of a fuel cell.
Afferent lymph dendritic cells: a model for antigen capture and presentation in vivo. We review the phenotypic and functional properties of sheep afferent lymph dendritic cells. These dendritic cells bear surface immunoglobulin and can acquire antigen/antibody complexes, both in vitro and in vivo. Our data suggest a role for Fc receptors in the capture of antigen by these cells. Dendritic cells collected after in vivo antigen pulsing are capable of stimulating T cell proliferation in an antigen-specific manner. Afferent dendritic cells express all the known groups of presentational molecules involved in activation of T cells, namely MHC class I and class II, and CD1. These results suggest a role for afferent dendritic cells in the activation of alpha beta and gamma delta T cells.

FTW – Netflix takes a proactive approach, steps up and owns it. I signed up for a Netflix account recently after purchasing a new Blu-ray player that supports Netflix movie streaming. I figured "Wow, this is great. I can watch movies when I want from my netflix queue." My only worry was, would my current internet connection be able to sustain a quality viewing experience. I still have Verizion DSL. My town does not have FiOS available (and no plans to), and my location has an effect on overall DSL speeds. I've learned to live with it. So when I had some intermittent problems accessing and watching movies via netflix, I assumed it was due to my connection. That is, until I received an email from Netflix that stated: "Recently, you may have had trouble instantly watching movies or TV episodes via your Netflix Ready Device due to technical issues. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. This is not a great way to begin your Netflix membership. So that you can properly experience Netflix, we would like to extend your free trial.." I did not complain about the service, and in fact attributed it to my sometimes questionable DSL connection. But Netflix was right there to voluntarily step up, take the initiative and say oops, we goofed. It's refreshing to see a company take responsibility for their service without being prompted. There is the argument that I am still on a trial membership basis, and they are just trying to initiate some damage control to keep me on as a paying user when the trial expires. Maybe, but it's good to know they are keeping tabs on the service and own it when something goes wrong.

First Families First is campaigning for a constitutional guarantee to be included in the referendum that would enforce the right of a child to have access to their biological parents. Backed by journalist John Waters and former MEP Kathy Sinnott, the group said it was concerned that the referendum, as proposed, would undermined the biological connection between parents and their children. Read More The group argues that the language used in the upcoming same sex referendum "amounts to an act of vandalism against the Constitution". Read More Founder member John Waters told Newstalk that the text being put to a vote was an act of "constitutional vandalism". “I think what we are proposing here is sensible and absolutely essential. It would be madness for this to go into the Constitutional. It would be insanity for the Irish people to knowingly vote this in,” he said, adding that he did not think Ireland would vote Yes when it realises the true impact such a vote would have.

Q: Doing something for the sake of Heaven I have seen the phrase "for the sake of Heaven" / "in Heaven's sake" / לשם שמים multiple times both in the Gemara and in discussions here on Mi Yodeya. Examples here, here and here I have a problem understanding this concept. Can anyone provide a concise definition ? How can we do anything for the sake of Heaven ? We, individually, are frail, small and mortal and not very significant in the grand scheme of things, certaintly compared to Heaven, so how then can anything we do have any influence on Heaven's sake one way or the other, for good or for bad ? A: You understand that “for the sake of heaven” implies to “have influence on Heaven's sake one way or the other, for good or for bad ?” You see an action undertaken for the sake of heaven meaning that the action has influence on heaven. Consider מחלוקת לשם שמים Wikipedia defines it as מחלוקת לשם שמים היא מחלוקת עניינית, שהעוסקים בה חותרים להגיע לחקר האמת, The element of shem shomyim lies in the motivation of the participants to discover the truth (and not for any other motivation) The discussion in the gemoro in kiddushin that you quote also relates to motivation. As Sefaria translates the Gemoro All such actions are permitted for the sake of Heaven. In other words, if one is acting out of familial affection, without any element of licentiousness, they are permitted. This shiur quotes the Tashbetz to define leshem shomayim: התשב"ץ מסביר ש"לשם שמים" פירושו: עשייה "כרצון הא-ל יתברך, שאדם יעסוק בתורה ובמצוות לקיים מאמר הא-ל בלבד, לא ליטול עטרה, ולא להתגאות על הבריות, אלא אדרבה יבזה עצמו כדי לקיים מאמר הא-ל" It means according to the will of G-d. That a person should work at Torah and mitzvos with the motivation to fulfill the words of G-d and neither to take a crown or inflate oneself over other people, but rather abase onself in order to carry out the word of HaShem. So the meaning is not connected with influencing Heaven and your question falls away.

[Ultrastructural observation on the spermiogenesis of Pagumogonimus skrjabini]. The spermiogenesis of Pagumogonimus skrjabini was observed on the ultrastructural level by transmission electron microscopy. The development and the morphological characteristics of spermatids and sperm were studied. The Golgi comples was located near the anterior region of the spermatid nucleus and developed into an acrosomal cap of the sperm. Accordingly, an acrosomal structure of P. skrjabini was recognized in this study. The mature sperm of P.s. was composed of head and tail. The head part was filled with dense nucleus and the nucleoplasma extended into the anterior end of the median part of the sperm tail. A conjunction part was seen between the head and the tail. The tail was composed of a median part and a terminal part. At the beginning of median part of the tail, two axial filaments were found on each side. Each axial filament was composed of two central filaments and nine pairs of cuter filaments. The two central filaments were surrounded by fibrous sheath, both of which were connected with spoke-like structures. Mitochondria were arranged in a line in the ventral portion of the central filaments. At the terminal part of the tail, two axial filaments lay closely together.

Some data storage systems include complex arrangements of storage disk arrays, configuration management interfaces, and storage processors. A system administrator faces many choices in making adjustments to the configuration of a data storage system in response to changing conditions, many of them resulting in suboptimal performance. Along these lines, the system administrator may seek advice with regard to provisioning storage resources while running certain applications. Such advice typically follows application best practices that convert storage provisioning needs into a specification of storage resources such as storage type, RAID type, de-duplication, etc. A conventional approach to automating storage resource provisioning employs software that allows an administrator to provision storage resources based on predefined provisioning best-practices algorithms. Such software can employ a scripting language, such as the well-known Lua scripting language, that expresses the application best practices in procedural logic. The administrator may account for changes in application best practices by arranging for adjustments to the software to reflect those changes.
* After someone drugs and tried to rape Delinda the Monticito tries to track the guy down, with Ed claiming he'll kill him. After finding out there are multiple victims and catching him Ed and Danny drive him out to the desert, with Danny begging Ed not to kill him.-->I am not digging this guy's grave! Ed relents, then forces the predator to strip before digging his own grave with his bare hands. But the ground's too hot and hard, and he begs Ed to stop. His response?-->Did that work with my daughter? Did that work with any of your victims? Then with a [[PreMortumOneLiner "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."]] he shoots the creep as Danny yells, thankfully the gun wasn't loaded.

Sunderland ace Steven Fletcher welcomed back to Scotland squad GRAEME ANDERSON STOKE City midfielder Charlie Adam says there will be no resentment towards Steven Fletcher inside the Scotland camp after the Sunderland striker’s return to the international fold. Fletcher had a very public falling out with Scotland manager Craig Levein, which was finally settled last week, allowing the Black Cats forward the opportunity to try to salvage Scotland’s floundering World Cup qualifying campaign. And former Blackpool and Liverpool midfielder Adam said the importance of the matches ahead far outweighs any lingering interest in the spat between manager and striker. “You want your best players available, and he is one of our best players, so it is good to see him back involved,” said Adam. “What happened has happened, it’s done and dusted. Let’s move on. “It’s up to the manager if he plays, but for us it’s good to have him in the squad because he adds to the quality that we already have. “Whoever plays up front as a pair or on their own they will be trying to do the best for their country. “We are all in the same boat – we want to get to Brazil, and hopefully the quality that has come into the squad for these two games can enhance our chances.” Fletcher is rooming with ex-Hibs team-mate Scott Brown, who was glad to see his old friend back in the international fold. “It is brilliant,” said the Celtic skipper.“He’s a great guy and a good friend as well, so I am glad he is back. He’s a good lad to have around, so we will accept him no problem. “He didn’t say a lot. He just said he is looking forward to getting the strip back on and getting back into training, and pretty much forget about everything that has happened in the last couple of years.” Fletcher himself is just looking forward to the job of improving Scotland’s qualification hopes. He said: “I am desperate to play for Scotland again and, like Craig Levein, I regret that it has taken this long to come about. “I’m sure we have both done a lot of thinking during the last two years, but the country comes first. “I think it just became apparent that we all needed to move on. The most important thing is that I can look to restart my international career. “I am a proud Scot, and it is a privilege to play for my country. “When I first spoke to Craig again it was fine, and was not awkward at all. We both said our piece and agreed that whatever happened, the country comes first. “I had a good chat with the manager when he came to visit at the training ground last week and, while it was important we discussed the past and put it to bed, it was more important that we focused on the future. “I understand why people want to know what changed, but the truth, as the manager said last week, was that the situation wasn’t helping anyone. “I am just happy to be back as part of the squad, and looking to make a positive contribution in what are two massive World Cup qualifiers. “I am a more experienced player than I was two years ago, and I am delighted with the way things have gone at Sunderland. “Martin O’Neill has been very supportive, as has Phil Bardsley –who is gutted to be missing through injury.”
On the other hand, sometimes you see other peoples or any person you know suffering from a bad situation or may be treated badly and wants to take the stand and raise for himself or herself, but he or she can't in that case if you think you can take stand for her/him then go for it, don't just step back.You know what, just remain silent all the time is not enough. Ok, sometimes you need to be silent when it needed in any particular situation. But when it needed to take the stand and raise voice then you have to go for it. sometimes, if you see other people need help then you have to raise voice and take the stand for himself/herself.That's the way you should live the life. that's the way you can solve the problem. because if you want to get out of something unfair or bad circumstances, you have to do by taking the stand, and this is one of the effective wayAll and all just take stand every time you think you have to then just go for it maybe for you, maybe for another person that you don't know. don't be hesitate, so when situations call for you just take the stand and raise voice don't step back.Thank youHave a nice dayFollow us

Lentivirus-mediated gene transfer to the respiratory epithelium: a promising approach to gene therapy of cystic fibrosis. Gene therapy of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease needs highly efficient delivery and long-lasting complementation of the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene into the respiratory epithelium. The development of lentiviral vectors has been a recent advance in the field of gene transfer and therapy. These integrating vectors appear to be promising vehicles for gene delivery into respiratory epithelial cells by virtue of their ability to infect nondividing cells and mediate long-term persistence of transgene expression. Studies in human airway tissues and animal models have highlighted the possibility of achieving gene expression by lentiviral vectors, which outlasted the normal lifespan of the respiratory epithelium, indicating targeting of a 'stem cell' compartment. Modification of the paracellular permeability and pseudotyping with heterologous envelopes are the strategies currently used to overcome the paucity of specific viral receptors on the apical surface of airway epithelial cells and to reach the basolateral surface receptors. Preclinical studies on CF mice, demonstrating complementation of the CF defect, offer hope that lentivirus gene therapy can be translated into an effective treatment of CF lung disease. Besides a direct targeting of the stem/progenitor niche(s) in the CF airways, an alternative approach may envision homing of hematopoietic stem cells engineered to express the CFTR gene by lentiviral vectors. In the context of lentivirus-mediated CFTR gene transfer to the CF airways, biosafety aspects should be of primary concern.
Obama aims to avoid a 'cycle of escalation' in cyberattacks by countries U.S. President Barack Obama said his country has had problems with cyber intrusions from Russia and other countries in the past, but aims to establish some norms of behavior rather than let the issue escalate as happened in arms races in the past. Obama’s statement on the sidelines of the G20 summit in China, after he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, did not refer specifically to a recent hack of the Democratic National Committee of the Democratic Party that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing. Politically embarrassing emails from the breach were leaked ahead of the convention of the party, with many security experts holding that the hack had the backing of Russian intelligence services. Whistleblowing website WikiLeaks released the emails but did not disclose their source. The U.S. government hasn’t blamed Russia for the incident. “I am not going to comment on specific investigations that are still live and active, but I'll tell you that we had problems with cyber intrusions from Russia in the past, from other countries in the past," Obama told reporters, according to news outlets. The president described moving into a new era where a number of countries have significant cyber capacities, and “frankly we have got more capacity than anybody both offensively and defensively,” he said in an apparent warning to the Russians. He said the goal of the U.S. was not to duplicate in cyberspace a “cycle of escalation” akin to other arms races in the past, but to start “instituting some norms" so that everybody is acting responsibly. Obama said there are going to be enough problems in cyberspace with "non-state actors" using the Internet for theft and other illegal purposes, which creates the need for protecting critical infrastructure and securing financial systems. "What we cannot do is have a situation in which, certainly, this becomes the wild, wild West, where countries that have significant cyber capacity start engaging in unhealthy competition or conflict through these means," Obama said. He said he had discussed the topic of cybersecurity norms with Putin and earlier with some other countries, and is already seeing some willingness from a lot of countries to adopt the rules, though it will have to be seen whether they are following them.

Q: Download a file through Spring MVC controller using streams I am using spring MVC with REST service for one of my project. I am having a service to attach and download user files. I am using below service API for upload and save file into server directory http://myrestserver/attachmentService/attach/userKey And below service API for download files from server directory http://myrestserver/attachmentService/download/userKey/fileKey The issue is that when a file is downloaded, the downloaded URL shows the REST service API URL. To avoid this, I thought of write a controller for attach and download file. I wrote a spring controller which handle file attachment process. Even I wrote a controller(say download.do) for download a file, but when a file downloaded, the file name shows as the same name of the controller(downloaded file name shows "download.do" always) instead of original file name. Below code is from my download.do controller WebResource resource = null; resource = client.resource("http://myrestserver/attachmentService/download/userKey/fileKey"); clientResponse = resource.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM).get( ClientResponse.class); InputStream inputStream = clientResponse.getEntityInputStream(); if(inputStream != null){ byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); try { IOUtil.copyStream(inputStream, byteArrayOutputStream); } catch (IOException e) { log.error("Exception in download:"+ e); } } And, in my service API, the code is file = new File(directory, attachmentFileName); fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file); fileOutputStream.write(attachmentContent); fileOutputStream.close(); response = Response.ok((Object) file).type(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM); response.header("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "\"" + attachmentFileName + "\""); return response.build(); By analyzing the issue, I understood that, am not setting file header in downloaded file through download.do controller. If I am using outstream in download.do controller, I will not be able to set the file header. Can any one help me to resolve this issue. My primary aim is to hide my rest service URL from downloaded file by stream through a MVC controller. I found a post (Downloading a file from spring controllers )in stack overflow almost like my question, but the file type is previously known. Please note that, in my application user can attach any type of file. A: You have to set the Content-Disposition prior to writing the file to the output stream. Once you start writing to the output stream, you cannot set headers any longer.

Algorithm for removing scalp signals from functional near-infrared spectroscopy signals in real time using multidistance optodes. A real-time algorithm for removing scalp-blood signals from functional near-infrared spectroscopy signals is proposed. Scalp and deep signals have different dependencies on the source-detector distance. These signals were separated using this characteristic. The algorithm was validated through an experiment using a dynamic phantom in which shallow and deep absorptions were independently changed. The algorithm for measurement of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobins using two wavelengths was explicitly obtained. This algorithm is potentially useful for real-time systems, e.g., brain-computer interfaces and neuro-feedback systems.
[Treatment of defects of soft tissue and sternum, as postoperative complications of A-C bypass, case report]. Medial sternotomy is optimal approach for great number of heart surgery. Deep infection of sternum and mediastinis are very rear, but very dangerous complications followed by high rate of morbidity and mortality. Factors which can be responsible for these complications are numerous: post operation bleedings, surgery reinterventions, extended mechanical ventilation, liver chronic diseases, older age, diabetes, previous irradiation therapy, respiratory obstructions and use of steroids. Clinical signs for these complications are: red skin around the surgical wound, leaking, dehiscence, increased body temperature and instability of sternum. Early diagnosis, adequate antimicrobial therapy, and aggressive surgical and multidisciplinary approach in initial phase, are base for successful treatment. Surgical treatment most often assumes use of flaps. Our main objective in this work was to present treatment of defect of sternum and soft tissues, after triple aorto-coronary bypass. After the surgery patients got slack of sternum's ficsation and reficsation. With satisfactory respiratory function, corrections of defect was achieved by omentum and bipedicular myocutan flaps. (m. pectoralis major flap). There was no complications.
Q: Why after login user keeps both roles guest and user in yii2? i'm using rbac in yii2 project. When i print var_dump(\Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser(Yii::$app->user->id)); I get an array with two elements: guest and user? Why "guest" role stays at authorized user? Is it normal behavior or I did something wrong? A: This is expected. If you add some role to defaultRoles, it will be always available, regardless of authentication state. From $defaultRoles docs: A list of role names that are assigned to every user automatically without calling assign(). Note that these roles are applied to users, regardless of their state of authentication.
Q: RSS Feeds or API to access REIT information? I have a Web application that needs to display up to date information on REITs and tickers like AX.UN, BEI.UN, CAR.UN etc.. For example, I need to automate consumption of information on pages such as http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AX-UN.TO Are there rss feeds or apis I can use to import this kind of data? I don't want to copy and paste this information into my website on a daily basis. A: On the very site you link to, there's a small link that says "download data". If you have a database with the symbols you want to track, it would be pretty easy to construct that download URL on the fly, query it, parse the CSV, and load that data into your database for display on your website. ETA: Here's the link: http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AX-UN.TO&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv Just have your program replace the "AX-UN.TO" with whatever symbol you want, and it should grab the data for that symbol.
Isolation of a T-lymphotropic retrovirus from a patient at risk for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). A retrovirus belonging to the family of recently discovered human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV), but clearly distinct from each previous isolate, has been isolated from a Caucasian patient with signs and symptoms that often precede the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). This virus is a typical type-C RNA tumor virus, buds from the cell membrane, prefers magnesium for reverse transcriptase activity, and has an internal antigen (p25) similar to HTLV p24. Antibodies from serum of this patient react with proteins from viruses of the HTLV-I subgroup, but type-specific antisera to HTLV-I do not precipitate proteins of the new isolate. The virus from this patient has been transmitted into cord blood lymphocytes, and the virus produced by these cells is similar to the original isolate. From these studies it is concluded that this virus as well as the previous HTLV isolates belong to a general family of T-lymphotropic retroviruses that are horizontally transmitted in humans and may be involved in several pathological syndromes, including AIDS.
“None of the other angels really knew why the Lady chose to make David an angel. He was only a child after all, a child who had seen and suffered much horror in his young life. Despite that he was made into an angel who now protects those in the world from Dark Ones and the terror and nightmares they bring with them. Even though he is but an infant in comparison to other angels who have lived for over a millennium, David still uses his connection with his own humanity to serve the Lady in a way that no other angel can…”

Turnover of skeletal muscle contractile proteins in glucocorticoid myopathy. Muscle weakness in glucocorticoid myopathy results mainly from muscle atrophy, the reason for which is the accelerated catabolism of muscle proteins. As the content of lysosomes in skeletal muscle, particularly in fast-twitch glycolytic fibers, is relatively low the non-lysosomal pathway makes a particularly significant contribution and has special importance in the initial rate-limiting steps in the catabolism of contractile proteins and in the regulation of their turnover rate. The turnover rate of actin and the myosin heavy chain is decreased in all types of muscle fibers, and more rapid turnover of the myosin light chain is registered in the fast-twitch glycolytic and oxidative-glycolytic fibers. Exercise and simultaneous glucocorticoid treatment is an effective measure in retarding skeletal muscle atrophy and provides protection against muscle wasting.
Although the activities in this computer game for preschoolers are not particularly original, Little Bill Thinks Big is a title with integrity, gentle challenges, and decent replay value. Based on the Nick Jr. television series created by Bill Cosby, the program offers preschoolers a peaceful workout in early thinking skills--ones that are particularly necessary for success in math. Children are greeted by Little Bill, who asks for help creating a big surprise for his family. Children explore his house, uncovering fun clickables, little educational games, and the program's five featured activities. They earn objects like pinwheels and watering cans needed for constructing the surprise. The surprise depends on what season players have selected at the beginning of the game. They make a scarecrow in Autumn and a snowman in Winter, for example. Of course, kids can replay the game once they've completed the surprise by selecting a different season. The featured activities exercise children's logical thinking skills. They put pictures in logical order to form a story, group aliens according to common attributes, construct tunnels for a hamster by matching colors and shapes, create cookies identical to the ones already decorated, and match numerals with sets of objects as they propel Bill on his submarine. Earning objects for the surprise is fairly easy. If children decide they want to play each activity beyond the prize point, they will reap the most benefits from the game. Why? Because the activities advance in difficulty gradually. If children display mastery of a particular level, they are advanced to the next one. Similarly, if kids are struggling with a higher difficulty level, they are kept at a comfortable level of challenge. The first screenshot at left shows the cookie decorating activity in which children add decorations to a cookie in an attempt to match the given cookie. The second screenshot shows one of the sorting challenges in the Alien game. Children arrange photographs in the family album, creating stories in chronological order in the third screenshot. Again, this title is well-designed and provides a positive environment for learning. However, the game loses a few points for lack of originality in terms of activities. We love the fact that children can play the game in different seasons of the year--it not only exposes them to the whole concept of seasons, it also extends the game's life. There is also a strong and constructive theme of sharing: kids are encouraged to make surprises for their own families after helping Bill do the same for his family. Pros: Well-designed, encouraging software for preschoolers. Gradually advancing difficulty levels adjust automatically. Original voices from the television show. Decent replay value. Cons: If your software collection is fair-sized, you will find the featured activities resemble those in other games for preschoolers.
The research found that more people exercised at parks after they'd been upgraded. Image: oversnap/iStockphoto Improving community health could lie in the quality of neighbourhood parks, a Deakin University study has found. Health researchers with Deakin’s Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research examined whether improvements to parks increased usage and park-based physical activity of users. They found significant increases in the number of visitors and levels of exercise undertaken at one park after the facilities had been upgraded. “Parks are important places for people to spend their leisure time and be physically active,” explained Deakin health researcher Dr Jenny Veitch. “Understanding how we can attract residents to spend time at local parks and encourage them to be more physically active is an important public health initiative. This is particularly the case in disadvantaged neighbourhoods where residents are at increased risk of being inactive which can lead to poor health.” For the study, the researchers examined two parks in the same neighbourhood, one of which was about to be refurbished. Both parks were similar in size and mostly open spaces with few amenities. Upgrades to the one park included a fenced dog park, an all-abilities playground, walking track, barbeque area, landscaping and fencing. How many people used the parks and their levels of activity were monitored three months before the park improvements, three months after the improvements and one year later. The results of the study point to the positive effect improving facilities can have on usage and the types of physical activity undertaken within local parks. “We found that four times more people used the upgraded park a year after the changes, with more people walking and engaging in vigorous activities such as running or playing ball sports. While less people used the unchanged park and the activity levels remained pretty much the same,” Dr Veitch said. “What our study has shown is that improving existing parks can encourage people to make use of the facilities and increase their levels of physical activity. “The findings have implications for future park-renewal projects and can help urban planners and designers to develop parks that attract users and facilitate greater levels of physical activity.” The results of this study are published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

[Clomipramine and other serotonin reuptake inhibitors in the treatment of depressed mood, anxiety and impaired impulse control]. The antidepressive effects of substances which most likely increase the rate of monoaminergic neurotransmission by the antagonization of the serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors has been know to exist for over thirty years. The role of both of these substances, serotonin and noradrenaline, in the function of these mechanisms is still, however, a matter of discussion. In the last ten years it has been shown that many antidepressive drugs are not only effective in the treatment of depression but also in the treatment of many other psychiatric disorders. These include for example panic anxiety attacks, compulsive-obsessive symptoms, premenstrual tension disorder etc. It appears from the treatment of these disorders that serotonin is of greater importance than noradrenaline.
Location Core strength development for performance Strong core muscles can certainly improve one's appearance in addition to enhancing your performance on the sports field and in the workplace. Someone with well developed core muscles breathes easier, walks, bends, and runs better and is less prone to injury; the body is in proper alignment and does not fatigue as quickly. Strong core muscles protect the back and prevent back pain. When most people think of the core muscles, they think of the abdominals alone, however the core includes the upper back muscles, the gluteals (buttocks) and the obliques (on either side of the abs). Joseph Pilates, the founder of the exercise, called these muscles "the powerhouse" as he believed that all energy flows from them to the extremities. In recent years, Pilates has taken centre stage as the core muscle exercise. It requires concentration and centring on the abdominal muscles while the movements are carried out. Pilates can be done with large balls and stretchy bands, or with machines which provide resistance. Pilates emphasises relaxed, smooth movements and rhythmic breathing. Since Pilates emphasises control and coordination, people who practice it learn to carry this over in their every day life. If you are not the type to take the time to learn Pilates, you should perform abdominal exercises at least three times a week to keep them firm and strong. You can always go to the gym or purchase one of the many ab machines on the market. Those in the gym provide resistance and support your neck, making the movements much safer than doing sit-ups at home. Bear in mind that every type of exercise carries the risk of injury, therefore when beginning these exercises, you should have a fitness trainer or physiotherapist guide you in perfecting your technique.

Q: Restlet - Passing error status code and exception trace from server to client We have a restlet server and client. We need to pass the error status and exception traces back to the client so that the client can take appropriate actions depending on the error status code. I read about StatusService and using response.setStatus() method but I can't get the specific exceptions thrown during server side processing be displayed on client side. The DAO layer from the server throws specific DB related exceptions and status code such as (Unique key violation etc), which the client needs to see and take appropriate actions. Also, what is the common way of doing this to have centralized error handling / processing on server and client side ? Filters ? A brief example will really help. Thanks, Deep A: You can only send HTTP status codes and optionally your own description message. You can also send a representation of the error by overriding the getRepresentation in the StatusService. @Override public Status getStatus(Throwable throwable, Resource resource) { Status ret = null; Throwable cause = throwable.getCause(); if (cause == null) { Status status = super.getStatus(throwable, resource); ret = new Status(status, throwable.getMessage()); log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Unexpected resource exception <" + ret.toString() + "> for throwable of type <" + throwable + "> at resource <" + resource + ">"); } else if (cause instanceof NotFoundException) { ret = new Status(Status.CLIENT_ERROR_NOT_FOUND, cause, resource.getReference().toString()); log.info("Not found <" + ret.toString() + "> for throwable of type <" + cause + "> at resource <" + resource + ">"); } else if (cause instanceof ConstraintViolationsException) { ConstraintViolationsException e = (ConstraintViolationsException) cause; ret = new Status(Status.CLIENT_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST, cause, e.getViolations().iterator().next().getMessage()); log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Constraint violation <" + e.getViolations().iterator().next().getMessage() + "> at resource <" + resource + ">"); } else if (cause instanceof BusinessRuleException) { ret = new Status(Status.CLIENT_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST, cause, cause.getMessage()); log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Business rule exception: <" + cause.getMessage() + "> at resource <" + resource + ">"); } else { Status status = super.getStatus(throwable, resource); ret = new Status(status, throwable.getMessage()); log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Unexpected server exception <" + ret.toString() + "> for throwable of type <" + throwable + "> at resource <" + resource + ">"); } return ret; } @Override public Representation getRepresentation(Status status, Request request, Response response) { String ret = ""; if (status.getDescription() != null) { ret = status.getDescription(); } else { ret = "unknown error"; } return new StringRepresentation(ret, MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN); } You can return a representation of the error in getRepresentation in whatever format (XML, JSON, HTML) you want.
Protein Traffic to the Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast: evidence for a sorting branch point at the Golgi. Plasmodium falciparum, similar to many other apicomplexan parasites, contains an apicoplast, a plastid organelle of secondary endosymbiotic origin. Nuclear-encoded proteins are targeted to the apicoplast by a bipartite topogenic signal consisting of (i) an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-type N-terminal secretory signal peptide, followed by (ii) a plant-like transit peptide. Although the signals responsible for transport of most proteins to the apicoplast are well described, the route of trafficking from the ER to the outermost apicoplast membrane is still a matter of debate. Current models of trafficking to the apicoplast suggest that proteins destined for this organelle are, on entry into the lumen of the ER, diverted from the default secretory pathway to a specialized vesicular system which carries proteins directly from the ER to the outer apicoplast membrane. Here, we have re-examined this trafficking pathway. By titrating wild-type and mutant apicoplast transit peptides against different ER retrieval sequences and studying protein transport in a brefeldin A-resistant parasite line, we generated data which suggest a direct involvement of the Golgi in traffic of soluble proteins to the P. falciparum apicoplast.

The present application finds particular application in parking brake systems in vehicles, particularly involving pneumatic parking brake systems. However, it will be appreciated that the described technique may also find application in other brake control systems, other valve actuation systems, or other pneumatic control systems. Conventional single-motion parking brake release mechanisms suffer from many drawbacks, including unintentional parking brake release, which can cause a vehicle to roll unexpectedly and cause injury and/or property damage. For instance, such systems typically employ a plunger knob that an operator pulls outward to actuate the parking brake system. When the operator wants to release the parking brake, the operator pushes the plunger knob inward to a released position, which permits air to be supplied to a parking brake system and causes the parking brake to be deactivated. However, using such an arrangement increases the occurrence of inadvertent or accidental brake release. For instance, an operator or occupant may inadvertently depress the knob into a released position; a pet that travels with the operator in the cab of his truck may depress the knob into a released position when looking out through the windshield, etc. In these cases, if the release of the parking brake is not immediately noticed, the vehicle can roll away and cause damage to property or worse, injury to people. The present innovation provides a new and improved parking brake release system, which overcomes the above-referenced problems and others.
Antimitotic and cytotoxic activity of cis-dichlorobis-(cyclohexylamine)platinum(II) on Chinese hamster ovary cells. The antimitotic and cytotoxic effects of cis-dichlorobis(cyclohexylamine)-platinum(II) (cis-HAD) which among Pt complexes used as antitumoral drugs shows the highest therapeutic index (TI) have been compared to those os cis-dichlorodiamine platinum(II) (cis-DDP), the most commonly used drug of this group, using Chinese hamster ovary cell cultures (CHO line). DNA synthesis inhibition, mitotic index, cell viability, chromosome aberrations and cell survival have been taken into account. The data indicates that the antimitotic agent cis-HAD is active only at doses causing high cell mortality and chromosome damage.
Dephasing and dissipation in a source-drain model of light-harvesting systems. The energy transport process in natural-light-harvesting systems is investigated by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a source-network-drain model incorporating the effects of dephasing and dissipation, owing to coupling with the environment. In this model, the network consists of electronically coupled chromophores, which can host energy excitations (excitons) and are connected to source channels, from which the excitons are generated, thereby simulating exciton creation from sunlight. After passing through the network, excitons are captured by the reaction centers and converted into chemical energy. In addition, excitons can reradiate in green plants as photoluminescent light or be destroyed by nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ). These annihilation processes are described in the model by outgoing channels, which allow the excitons to spread to infinity. Besides the photoluminescent reflection, the NPQ processes are the main outgoing channels accompanied by energy dissipation and dephasing. From the simulation of wave-packet dynamics in a one-dimensional chain, it is found that, without dephasing, the motion remains superdiffusive or ballistic, despite the strong energy dissipation. At an increased dephasing rate, the wave-packet motion is found to switch from superdiffusive to diffusive in nature. When a steady energy flow is injected into a site of a linear chain, exciton dissipation along the chain, owing to photoluminescence and NPQ processes, is examined by using a model with coherent and incoherent outgoing channels. It is found that channel coherence leads to suppression of dissipation and multiexciton super-radiance. With this method, the effects of NPQ and dephasing on energy transfer in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex are investigated. The NPQ process and the photochemical reflection are found to significantly reduce the energy-transfer efficiency in the complex, whereas the dephasing process slightly enhances the efficiency. The calculated absorption spectrum reproduces the main features of the measured counterpart. As a comparison, the exciton dynamics are also studied in a linear chain of pigments and in a multiple-ring system of light-harvesting complexes II (LH2) from purple bacteria by using the Davydov D1 ansatz. It is found that the exciton transport shows superdiffusion characteristics in both the chain and the LH2 rings.
Analytical modeling of optical reflectivity of random plasmonic nano-monolayers. In this paper, we compare three different models that have been used to interpret reflectivity measurements of supported monolayers of nanoparticles. Two of them: (i) isotropic Maxwell Garnett and (ii) anisotropic two-dimensional-dipolar model are based on an effective-medium approach, while the third one (iii) coherent-scattering model, lies within the framework of multiple-scattering theory. First, we briefly review, on physical grounds, the foundations of each model and write down the corresponding formulas for the calculation of the reflectivity. In the two-dimensional-dipolar model, the dilute limit of the pair-correlation function (also called hole-correlation function) is always used in the calculation of the effective optical response. Then we use these formulas to plot and analyze graphs of the reflectivity of a monolayer of gold nanoparticles on a glass substrate, as a function of several relevant parameters, for two different commonly used experimental configurations. Finally, we discuss the importance of our results and how they can be used to infer the limits of validity of each model.
LP Shape Cores LP cores are similar to EQ cores but with larger wireways for easier winding and assembly. Their planar design helps to maximize inductor efficiency. are a cross between E cores and pot cores. In comparison to E cores and other non-planar cores, LP powder cores offer better space utilization, shielding and improved thermal performance.

“Since Orlando took the initiative to build a women’s soccer team, it has shown that it has the same intent for them that it has for the men’s team.” That was what Marta, the five time FIFA Women’s Player of the Year, said at last Friday’s press conference when asked why she chose to come to the City Beautiful. Several Pride players have talked during the offseason and the preseason about the team’s commitment to treating their men’s and women’s teams as equal. They use the same training facility, they play on the same pitch. The move to get Marta showed a lot of ambition, but it also showed commitment from the organization that they wanted the best in Orlando. “I think Marta being here shows commitment from ourselves to women’s soccer in the region,” Alex Leitao, Orlando City CEO, said. “We have very ambitious goals that I think she will help us to achieve.” Orlando City Soccer Club is a part of a larger movement towards growth in women’s sports across the United States. The NWSL recently signed a television contract with Lifetime, expanding access to the sport while also providing some stability to the league entering its fifth year. In addition, the U.S women’s soccer team recently negotiated a new Collective Bargaining Agreement that moved them closer to equality with their male counterparts. “I left Brazil very early and I started playing against some of the greatest athletes in the world, and since then women’s soccer in the United States was referenced as the best. And this movement that is happening here in the U.S is also a reference,” Marta said. “And what athlete wouldn’t want to be part of that and play their main sport, their preferred sport, in such a country.”

Histones biosynthesis and turnover in epithelial lens cells cultured in vitro. "Histone synthesis was compared in epithelial lens cells during exponential growth and in the stationary phase brought by contact inhibition. Double labelling experiments with 3H-lysine and 14C-lysine show a net turnover of histone H1 independent of DNA replication. The nucleosome core histones seem to turn over also, but much more slowly than H1".
Access to Court Records Court offices regularly receive a wide range of requests from the public, media, lawyers and others seeking access to court records. To help manage these requests, the Courts have developed guidelines that summarize how court officials will respond to the most commonly encountered access requests. There are a wide range of requests for court records received by the courts every day. They differ in their nature and the records involved. It would be impossible to anticipate all of the types of requests. The guidelines summarize how court officials can be expected to respond to the most commonly encountered access requests. The access guidelines are also intended to help communicate to the media and the public the approach that will be taken on access matters in specific situations. They serve as an informative and educative tool for those wishing to better understand how the court system operates and how it implements the open access principle. While they provide administrative direction in situations where there is no court order in place, the guidelines do not have the force of law and are subject to the decisions of individual judges and courts.

GasBuddy News Article Los Angeles Times -- Mexico's ruling party has taken a step toward opening its state oil company to outsiders, a move that could eventually allow U.S. oil firms to drill south of the border. In an important test of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto's sway over resistant factions of his party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party has changed its bylaws to clear the way for changes at Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex. Pemex, a symbol of nationalist pride, is the top source of tax revenue for the Mexican government. But its production of oil has been declining dramatically and the company is in dire need of outside expertise for deep-sea exploration. On Sunday, PRI, as the party is known, passed several changes that Peña Nieto needed for the reforms he promised as a hallmark of his administration. Chief and m Wonder how Obama administration feels about drilling in someone else's backyard? While in Cancun, I was very uneasy at a gas station that reeked of fumes and I was slipping while walking because of the greasy gas and oil covering the station's pavement. Mexico doesn't have the safety rules that the USA has. They could use our expertise. US companies have been drilling and providing oil field services in Mexico for years, but only as suppliers for Pemex. They've never been allowed to own any of the production. That probably still won't happen under the current Mexican constitution, but Peña Nieto will get as close to that as he can. The Mexican government has bled Pemex dry for so many years instead of allowing reinvestment in infrastructure that they've about killed the goose that lays the golden egg. Outside investment of some form is desperately needed. And before you hammer the "corrupt" Mexican government too much, remember that they are running budget surpluses every year, with only a small national debt. Of course they haven't been fighting wars halfway around the world for the last decade.

Photo Blog: Farewell, Maria Over the weekend, New York’s subway system saw a pass-by of its sea level upgrade, as NY State surfers, and those further north in the New England area, paddled out for the last trace of swell from Hurricane Maria. Winds were offshore, conditions were clean, and the tubes were hollow well into last light for locals like Balaram Stack, Brian Pollak, Dave Juan, and others. The Atlantic has finally taken a break as Maria weakens, leaving many locals to reflect on how memorable the month of September was throughout The Empire State. New York. Photo: Nelson “It was borderline epic,” photographer Mike Nelson said about the weekend. “Maria made her closest pass to us and the swell just pumped all day. It ended up being an all-day tube fest for one of the heaviest crews I’ve seen assembled in New York, joining visiting guys like Sam Hammer, Mike Gleason, Brett Simpson, Evan Geiselman, Shane Borland, Will Reid, Tommy Ihnken, and more. I don't think I have ever seen so many tubes made in one day in New York, ever.”
David M Jackson USA TODAY EXETER, N.H. -- Donald Trump, retail politician. The New York billionaire, seeking to regain political momentum after a second-place finish in Iowa, pursued an unusually crowded schedule Thursday in pursuit of a recovery win in next week's New Hampshire primary. "You're going to play such a big role," Trump told Granite State residents packed into the well of Exeter's old-style town hall, also noting that he still leads many polls. During the event, Trump avoided repeating his claim Wednesday that the Iowa winner, Ted Cruz, "stole" Monday's caucuses by misleading voters — a claim that continued to draw ridicule from some of his rivals. “I don’t think it ever helps after you lose an election to ask for a do-over," Chris Christie told Fox News. "The fact is elections are played, they’re no beanbags, they’re not easy." Christie, Trump, and other Republicans continued to criss-cross New Hampshire in a race with a number of cross-currents. They include the battle between Trump and Cruz, as well as attacks by Christie and Jeb Bush on Marco Rubio, who carried momentum from his strong showing in Iowa. Trump, whose preference has been for rally speeches in big arenas, also planned some of the person-to-person campaigning that has marked the New Hampshire primary for more than a half-century. His schedule Thursday included a meeting with New Hampshire business owners in Exeter, and participation in a shift change in the Manchester Police Department. He also has another town hall Thursday night in Portsmouth. The billionaire took questions at the town hall in Exeter, including one from a woman who protested his harsh comments about illegal immigration. Many migrants "do work no one else wants to do," the woman said, drawing boos from the pro-Trump crowd. In a reference to Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, Trump said to the woman: "Who told you to be here, Bernie?" In attacking Cruz for his tactics in Iowa, Trump noted that Cruz operatives spread false rumors that Ben Carson was pulling out of the race, and urged his supporters to back the Texan. The Trump campaign has also hit a Cruz mailer that gave voters false information about qualifying to caucus. Cruz said he has apologized to Carson, but mocked Trump's complaints about sour grapes. "I don’t think the people are interested in temper tantrums," Cruz said of the billionaire on Thursday. Rubio, hoping to build on his third-place finish in Iowa, also stumped the Granite State in the face of heavy criticism from rivals. Bush, the former Florida governor who backed Rubio's political rise in that state, told NBC News that his former protege is "a gifted politician," but his life is built "around his own ambitions." Bush also had his own special event planned for Thursday night, featuring mother and former first lady Barbara Bush. Christie, appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, continued to argue that Rubio has done nothing in the U.S. Senate, and to describe Rubio as a "bubble boy" who avoids answering tough questions. The New Jersey governor noted that a new Rubio endorser — former presidential candidate Rick Santorum — couldn't name a Rubio accomplishment. "So it's time for the boy in the bubble to come out of the bubble and answer these questions and tell us things rather than just continue to give the same speech he's been giving for the last six years," the New Jersey governor said. Rubio, campaigning on the theme that he represents a new generation of leadership, said opponents are attacking him because he is doing well. “It’s sad that after finishing near the bottom in Iowa, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie are now doing everything possible to tear down Marco Rubio, the one conservative who can beat Hillary Clinton" said Rubio spokesman Jahan Wilcox. Many of these claims will be aired Saturday night, when Republican candidates gather for their last debate before Tuesday's primary.
Study of oyster shell as a potential substrate for constructed wetlands. We tested the suitability of oyster shell (OS) as a substrate for phosphorus removal in constructed wetlands (CWs) treating swine wastewater. OS is proven to have a significant phosphorus adsorption capacity; significant phosphorus removal was achieved in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands (VSSFs) that were filled with OS and used to treat swine wastewater. In the VSSF system, OS adsorption and precipitation played the greatest role in phosphorus removal, and the phosphorus distribution in the substrate layers was attributed to the vertical flow state of wastewater in the system. Ca-P was the predominant form of phosphorus in the system. Overall, the study results showed that OS could be used for phosphorus removal in CWs. OS also allowed for reuse of a waste substance, making the overall system more environmentally friendly.
Apollo We learn in grade school that the Moon, our nearest neighbor in space, causes tides on the Earth’s oceans. It does so through its gravitational attraction to the Earth. But the gravitation interplay between Earth and Moon has other, subtler effects as well.

The hero, of course, is George Bailey (Stewart), a man who never quite makes it out of his quiet birthplace of Bedford Falls. As a young man he dreams of shaking the dust from his shoes and traveling to far-off lands, but one thing and then another keeps him at home -- especially his responsibility to the family savings and loan association, which is the only thing standing between Bedford Falls and the greed of Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore), the avaricious local banker. George marries his high school sweetheart (Donna Reed, in her first starring role), settles down to raise a family, and helps half the poor folks in town buy homes where they can raise their own. Then, when George's absentminded uncle (Thomas Mitchell) misplaces some bank funds during the Christmas season, it looks as if the evil Potter will have his way after all. George loses hope and turns mean (even his face seems to darken, although it's still nice and pink in the colorized version). He despairs, and is standing on a bridge contemplating suicide when an Angel 2nd Class named Clarence (Henry Travers) saves him and shows him what life in Bedford Falls would have been like without him. Frank Capra never intended "It's a Wonderful Life" to be pigeonholed as a "Christmas picture." This was the first movie he made after returning from service in World War II, and he wanted it to be special--a celebration of the lives and dreams of America's ordinary citizens, who tried the best they could to do the right thing by themselves and their neighbors. After becoming Hollywood's poet of the common man in the 1930s with an extraordinary series of populist parables ("It Happened One Night," "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," "You Can't Take It With You"), Capra found the idea for "It's a Wonderful Life" in a story by Philip Van Doren Stern that had been gathering dust on studio shelves. For Stewart, also recently back in civilian clothes, the movie was a chance to work again with Capra, for whom he had played Mr. Smith. The original trailer for the movie (included on the Criterion disk) played up the love angle between Stewart and Donna Reed and played down the message--but the movie was not a box office hit, and was all but forgotten before the public domain prints began to make their rounds. "It's a Wonderful Life" is not just a heart-warming "message picture." The conclusion of the film makes such an impact that some of the earlier scenes may be overlooked--such as the slapstick comedy of the high school hop, where the dance floor opens over a swimming pool, and Stewart and Reed accidentally jitterbug right into the water. (This covered pool was not a set but actually existed at Hollywood High School). There's also the drama of George rescuing his younger brother from a fall through the ice, and the scene where Donna Reed loses her bathrobe and Stewart ends up talking to the shrubbery. The telephone scene--where an angry Stewart and Reed find themselves helplessly drawn toward each other--is wonderfully romantically charged. And the darker later passages have an elemental power, as the drunken George Bailey staggers through a town he wants to hate, and then revisits it through the help of a gentle angel. Even the corniest scenes in the movie--those galaxies that wink while the heavens consult on George's fate--work because they are so disarmingly simple. A more sophisticated approach might have seemed labored.

Hi! I'm a registered nurse so I was gonna ask a couple more questions. You said you had blood work done but exactly what kind of blood work. There are many things that physiologically can cause hair thinning such as anemia, thyroid disease, autoimmune diseases, androgenetic alopecia, polycystic ovary syndrome, and skin conditions. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist about this, maybe one who specializes in hair and scalp conditions. Since you mention the hair loss is along your hairline, there is such a thing as traction alopecia caused from placing too much tension on your hairline with ponytails, braiding, etc. I think as long as you are using a color rinse on your hair that doesn't contain peroxide or ammonia you should be fine. I only use semi-permanent color on my hair by Loreal Healthy Look or Clairol Natural Instincts. This color won't lighten hair at all but just coats the hair shaft and rinses out over a number of washes. You should also be doing weekly deep conditioning. There are several out there that are great and don't have to be expensive either. Keep in mind that the Curly Girl method doesn't work for everyone. It didn't work for me and my hair at all. My hair does fine whether I use sulfate shampoo or not.

The Chinese veto at the Security Council was not a passing fancy influenced by Russia, but the fruit of a long and painful experience. It was primarily motivated by the desire to uphold the norms of international law. Professor Li Qingsi places this concern in its immediate historical context (regime changes orchestrated in North Africa) and within a longer-term perspective (China’s occupation by the West and the difficult Sino-US relations).

Thanks to technology, the dating scene is a brave new world. Now Cathy Reisenwitz, editor of Sex and the State, calls for an end to “radical sexual purity” and the beginning of an era of “radical sexual honesty.” On Federalist Radio, Reisenwitz argues that, reacting to market forces, new hookup technologies like Tinder have liberated women and require a “revaluation of marriage.” In response to this evolution, she calls for a “change in gender roles.” Later Taina Bien-Aimé, Executive Director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, joined the program to discuss the issue of legalized prostitution. Unlike Reisenwitz, Bien-Aimé believes prostitution is “a form of exploitation…where men purchase violence and sexual harassment; they purchase denigration and dehumanization.” Click here or use the link below to listen.
Q: Dynamic UNION ALL query in Postgres We are using a Postgres / PostGis connection to get data that is published via a geoserver. The Query looks like this at the moment: SELECT row_number() over (ORDER BY a.ogc_fid) AS qid, a.wkb_geometry AS geometry FROM ( SELECT * FROM test UNION ALL SELECT * FROM test1 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM test2 )a In our db only valid shapefiles will be imported each in a single table so it would make sense to make the UNION ALL part dynamic (loop over each table and make the UNION ALL statement). Is there a way to do this in a standard Postgres way or do I need to write a function and how would the syntax look like? I am pretty new to SQL. The shapefiles have a different data structure and only the ogc_fid column and the wkb_geometry column are always available and we would like to union all tables from the DB. A: This is just general guidelines you need work in the details specially syntaxis. You need create a store procedure Create a loop checking information_schema.tables filter for the tablenames you want DECLARE rec record; strSQL text; BEGIN Then create a strSQL with each table FOR rec IN SELECT table_schema, table_name FROM information_schema.tables LOOP strSQL := strSQL \|\| 'SELECT ogc_fid, wkb_geometry FROM ' \|\| rec.table_schema \|\| '.' \|\| rec.table_name \|\| ' UNION '; END LOOP; -- have to remove the last ' UNION ' from strSQL strSQL := 'SELECT row_number() over (ORDER BY a.ogc_fid) AS qid, a.wkb_geometry AS geometry FROM (' \|\| strSQL \|\| ')'; EXECUTE strSQL;

My SS got me not one, but two awesome glasses! One is an awesome pint glass from one of my favorite breweries, Terrapin (Athens, GA), specifically their Tree Hugger Ale. The second is a large pilsner-style glass from something local to him, Ellis Island Casino & Brewery in Las Vegas! These are awesome, and I got to try them out myself last night when I finally got home (with a homebrewed Honey Bee Ale)! Thanks so much SS! P.S. Sorry I'm late in posting this gift; it unfortunately arrived the day I went out of town for a week, and though my wife texted me some pics I couldn't get them to upload properly!

Q: Powering a Fan with Raspberry Pi I have a 12V computer fan that I want to hook up to my Raspberry Pi. It has a 7V sensor, 12V power and ground. I know that the Pi can only supply 5v so I’m just wondering how to hook it up to the Pi and be able to control the fan through GPIO pins. I do have a 12V Power supply A: If you want to switch 12V with 5V, then you can use a PNP/NPN pair of transistors. A circuit I have used before: simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab When you apply 5V to the base of Q2, Q1 will allow the 12V to pass. I left the part numbers as the generic ones in the schematic editor so you will have to make sure you get ones that can handle the current requirements etc. There are plenty of PNP/NPN switching circuits online you can google if you want a more in depth look or if you want to do something a bit more sophisticated, but this should give you a starting point. Pretty sure there is a name for this configuration but I can't remember it! If anyone does, feel free to add it in! A: There are circuits where switching the high side of the load is necessary (for instance, when your load has a communication interface, or when you are reading back something from the load like the current). In this case, however, you don't need any of these features. So I recommend a single transistor solution (cheaper): simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab This circuit is fine if the current in the fan is up to let's say 50mA. If the current is higher, you'll need to either use a "two stages transistor" (aka darlington) or use a power transistor which can handle more current (and in order to provide it the required base current you'll need a smaller transistor): simulate this circuit In the first case you can choose any darlington (I found the 2N6426); in the second the PNP should be one which can handle the required current. You can also use a single nMOS: simulate this circuit In this case, you will have to choose a MOS transistor with a low Vgs-th; for instance the VN2222 or the 2N7000 can handle some hundreds of mA. Final note: since the load can have inductive behaviors, please remember to add a freewheeling diode

The Botanical Core will facilitate the work of all three Research Projects, the Animal Core and the Pilot Research Programs by performing the following tasks: Greenhouse-based cultivation of source plants and optimization of bioactives production, Production of botanical therapeutics for the Center's research, pre-clinical and clinical studies and pilot research programs, Activity guided isolation of bioactives and characterization of their interactions, Analytical and structural chemistry support for the research activities and pre-clinical and clinical studies, Quality control and botanical authentication. The Botanical Core will also perform research activities dedicated to discovering novel botanical therapeutics, which will be studied by the Pilot Research Programs. The Botanical Core will be located and led from Rutgers University (Dr. Raskin - Core Leader) with some work subcontracted to Louisiana State University Agricultural Center (Dr. Liu - Core Co-Leader). The Core will utilize recently developed methods for the discovery, characterization, standardization and production of bioactives proven successful in developing novel botanicals that are currently in clinical trials. It will effectively leverage resources, expertise, equipment and greenhouse facilities available at Dr. Raskin's laboratory as a result of industry-supported programs and NTH-NSF-USDA-funded International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) grant for natural product bioprospecting.

An opinion and practice survey on the structure and management of data and safety monitoring boards. There is little to no empirical data available on how data and safety monitoring boards (DSMBs) are structured and how they operate. The purpose of this study was to provide data on this. To accomplish this goal, we administered a random survey on current structure and management practices and opinions as reported by principal investigators (PIs) and biostatisticians. We also surveyed Institutional Review Board (IRB) community members, as proxies for the public, as to their opinions on how DSMBs should be structured and managed. A final purpose was to compare opinions about what should be taking place to what is actually happening.
Story highlights The Florida senator sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Meanwhile, Trump critics and allies raced to define the international business executive Washington (CNN)Opposition to Rex Tillerson as the next secretary of state heightened Tuesday as Marco Rubio, a key Republican vote on the panel that oversees his confirmation, said he had "serious concerns about his nomination." Donald Trump said Tuesday morning he would nominate the ExxonMobil CEO to the nation's top diplomatic post, and the announcement did not split Washington along strictly partisan lines. Some Republican foreign policy hawks, like Rubio, have expressed discomfort with Tillerson's ties to Russia. Rubio sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the panel that will have to approve the nominee before the full Senate can vote on Tillerson. Republicans will likely only hold a one-seat advantage on the committee, meaning that Democrats along with any single Republicans can possibly scuttle the nomination. "While Rex Tillerson is a respected businessman, I have serious concerns about his nomination," Rubio said in a statement. "The next secretary of state must be someone who views the world with moral clarity, is free of potential conflicts of interest, has a clear sense of America's interests, and will be a forceful advocate for America's foreign policy goals to the president, within the administration, and on the world stage. I look forward to learning more about his record and his views.‎" Meanwhile, Trump critics and allies raced to define the international business executive. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, said the Republicans' initial reaction to Tillerson indicated there was "bipartisan concern" about his Russia ties. Read More "I'm sure he has excellent business credential, but Donald Trump has chosen to put someone in as the nominee who does not have foreign policy or diplomatic experience and has these ties to Russia," she told CNN's Poppy Harlow on "New Day." And Rudy Giuliani, the close Trump associate who was passed over for the secretary of state posting, told CNN's Chris Cuomo that while he did not know Tillerson well, he was confident in him and would not say that he would be a better State candidate than Tillerson. "It's hard to say: Who would've been better as secretary of state? You find that out three or four years from now," he said.
