"WASHINGTON -- As the Pentagon warns of the security risks posed by social networking sites, newly released government documents show the military also uses these Internet tools to monitor and react to coverage of high-profile events.",
"\n\nThe Air Force tracked online messaging service Twitter, video-sharing site YouTube and various blogs to assess the huge public backlash to the Air Force One flyover of the Statue of Liberty this spring, according to the documents.",
"\n\nAnd while the attempts at damage control failed -- \"No positive spin is possible,\" one PowerPoint chart reads -- the episode opens a window into the tactics for operating in a boundless digital news cycle.",
"\n\nThis new terrain has slippery slopes, though, for the military. ",
"Facebook, MySpace and other social media sites are very popular among service members, including those in\n\nIraq and Afghanistan who want to keep in touch with friends and family. ",
"The sites are also valued by military organizations for recruiting or communicating with other federal agencies.",
"\n\nBut posting information on these interactive links makes it vulnerable to being lost or stolen by the enemy, according to Pentagon officials. ",
"On Thursday, a hacking attack shut down Twitter for several hours, while Facebook had intermittent access problems -- an indication of the shortcomings of relying on these services.",
"\n\nThe Marine Corps' computer network blocks users from accessing social media sites, which service officials say expose \"information to adversaries\" and provide \"an easy conduit for information leakage.\"",
"\n\nThe Marines recently made its ban official. ",
"And that prohibition might extend to other parts of the military pending a top-level review ordered in late July by Deputy Defense Secretary Bill Lynn.",
"\n\nIn a widely distributed memo, Lynn said the so-called \"Web 2.0\" sites are important tools but more study is needed to understand their threats and benefits.",
"\n\nAir Force officials are already aware of the potential benefits.",
"\n\nAccording to the Air Force One documents released through the Freedom of Information Act, a unit called the Combat Information Cell at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida monitored the public fallout from the April 27 flight and offered recommendations for dealing with the fast-breaking story.",
"\n\nFormed two years ago, the cell is made up of as many as nine people who analyze piles of data culled from the Internet and other sources to determine whether the Air Force's message is being heard.",
"\n\nThe presidential plane took off for New York from Andrews Air Force in Maryland accompanied by two F-16 jet fighters. ",
"The purpose of the flight, which was not publicly announced, was to get new photos of the specially modified Boeing 747 with the statue in the background.",
"\n\nThe mission quickly became a public relations disaster as panicked New Yorkers, fearing another 9/11-style attack, emptied office buildings. ",
"In the aftermath, Louis Caldera, director of the White House military office that authorized the flight, was fired.",
"\n\nThe Combat Information Cell's first assessment of the event said \"Web site blog comments 'furious' at best.\" ",
"Local reporting of the flyover was \"very critical, highlighting scare factor,\" it added.",
"\n\nA search of Twitter, which allows people to post messages of 140 characters or less to a circle of friends, family or fans, showed that users were posting a rate of one message, or \"tweet,\" per minute about a pair of F-16s chasing a commercial airliner, the cell said.",
"\n\nMedia coverage over the next 24 hours \"will focus on local hysteria and lack of public notification,\" the cell predicted. \"",
"Blogs will continue to be overwhelmingly negative.\"",
"\n\n\"Damage control requires timely counter-information,\" but the opportunity for that had passed, the assessment said. ",
"The cell recommended acknowledging the mistake and ensuring it didn't happen again.",
"\n\nAnother update on April 28 said the story was still \"reverberating, surprisingly resilient.\" ",
"The tweet rate had grown to three per minute and the words \"New York\" had been pushed into Twitter's list of most talked about topics. ",
"Videos of the event posted on YouTube had been viewed more than 260,000 times, it said.",
"\n\nBy April 30, the story had faded, the cell reported. ",
"The blogs were still very critical, but it was the White House, not the Air Force, that was taking the heat, the assessment for that day said.",
"\n\nThe other dominant news story at the time was public concern over the spread of swine flu. ",
"According to the documents, the same Air Force cell suggested there may be an opportunity to turn the tide. \"",
"Government involvement in this incident could be used to frame expected handling of H1N1 outbreak,\" one of the PowerPoint charts reads.",
"\n\nA Utah Air National Guard unit, the 101st Information Warfare Flight in Salt Lake City, was also monitoring the social sites. \"",
"To say that this event is being beaten like a dead horse is an understatement,\" reads an April 28 e-mail from the unit to other Air Force offices. \"",
"Has really taken off in Web 2.0.\"",
"\n\nBoth the 101st and the Combat Information Cell are attached to the 1st Air Force, which is based at Tyndall and is in charge of guarding U.S. airspace.",
"\n\n1st Air Force spokesman Al Eakle explained that the command had no role in planning or coordinating the Air Force One flight. ",
"But the units tracked social networks and blog traffic \"to obtain what lessons we might learn so as not to repeat them in the future.\" ",
"The assessments were sent to the command's leadership so they'd know how the public was reacting, he added."

"Photochemical degradation increases polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) toxicity to the grouper Epinephelus marginatus as assessed by multiple biomarkers.",
"\nThe effects of halogen-light-irradiated and non-irradiated PAHs on the grouper Epinephelus marginatus were assessed through biomarkers including morphometric parameters, liver histopathology, biliary PAH concentration, genetic alterations, and enzyme activity modulation. ",
"E. marginatus juveniles were divided into three groups: control (C), non-irradiated PAHs (PAHs1), and irradiated PAHs (PAHs2). ",
"Test groups were exposed for 14 days to a 0.5 ppm PAH solution in the semi-static system. ",
"After this period, fish were anesthetized with benzocaine (2%) and peripheric blood was collected by caudal puncture. ",
"Blood smears were prepared and stained with propidium iodide. ",
"Fish livers were collected, fixed in McDowell's solution, embedded in paraplast, thin-sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E). ",
"For biochemical analyses including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione S-transferase activities, fish livers were collected and preserved in liquid nitrogen. ",
"Water samples were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and bile synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. ",
"Fish in the PAHs2 group had micronuclei (MN) in blood cells, as well as significant differences in nuclear morphology (NMA). ",
"Significant morphological alterations were observed in the livers from fish exposed to PAHs as well as inhibition of the catalase activity. ",
"Our results show that irradiation altered the bioavailability of PAHs, especially benzanthracene, which has great impact in aquatic ecosystems. ",
"Among the consequences of physical and chemical changes to PAHs, we observed a significant increase in NMA and MN incidence in E. marginatus erythrocytes, indicating the potential initiation of mutagenic and carcinogenic processes."

"UPDATE! ",
"We’ve got a new and better version of the neighborhood mapping project! ",
"Head on over to bostonography.com/hoods!",
"\n\nOLDER UPDATE: There’s also a newer map of what’s described below.",
"\n\n\n\nAs you may recall, we’re running an ongoing project soliciting opinions on Boston’s neighborhood boundaries via an interactive map. ",
"We want to keep collecting data, but we’ve already received excellent responses that we’re itching to start mapping, and when we hit 300 submissions recently it seemed like a good enough milestone to take a crack at it. (",
"That’s actually 300 minus some junk data. ",
"If you offer the ability to draw freeform shapes, some people draw random rectangles and triangles, and some people draw… er, other long, tipped objects.)",
"\n\nThere are many questions to be asked here. ",
"Where are the areas of consensus? ",
"Where are the disputed zones? ",
"Where are the no-man’s lands? &",
"c.? ",
"Let’s tackle these one at a time in a series of posts and maps. ",
"Today we look at consensus.",
"\n\nBut first, let’s check out a raw picture of the boundaries everyone has drawn. ",
"This map, which is clipped to the city limits, shows that the word “tangled” is apt in reference to neighborhood boundaries. ",
"Some lines are strong as a result of many people drawing in the same place, but many others are all over the place.",
"\n\nBased on those strong lines we can kind of see where there is decent agreement on boundaries, but we can quantify this for all of the neighborhood extents. ",
"What we have is 21 sets of polygons, each set representing the shapes people drew for one of the neighborhoods in our survey (the main neighborhoods except for the physically isolated Charlestown and East Boston). ",
"Within the set for each neighborhood we can look at the amount of overlap between polygons and consider overlapping areas to be areas of agreement between two or more respondents—as many respondents as there are overlapping polygons in that area. ",
"In this exercise we’re interested in those counts. ",
"We could find the area in which all polygons overlap, for instance, which would represent the area that 100% of people agree is part of the neighborhood. ",
"Total consensus usually doesn’t show us much or doesn’t exist, though, because of some especially bad data (some people just didn’t have a clue, although we tried to weed those out) and, well, because definitive agreement probably is impossible anyway. ",
"But we can still find the areas where there is moderate to strong agreement—at least among the self-selected people who responded to the survey.",
"\n\nWe’ve chosen to look at areas of greater than 25% agreement, greater than 50%, and greater than 75%. ",
"They’re handy numbers that seem represent a notable minority, a majority, and a strong majority. ",
"So let’s get to the maps. ",
"We’ve laid down an arbitrary hexagonal grid across the city and for each cell tallied how many respondents’ polygons it intersects in each neighborhood, then divided that count by the total number of respondents for the neighborhood, which ranged from a little over 40 to 150ish. ",
"Here, then, are the neighborhoods in almost alphabetical order, with the number of submissions noted for each.",
"\n\n(Note: when we started these, hexagons had slightly more carto-hipster cachet. ",
"These are not really the hexagonal bins that have been recently popular—albeit legitimately useful—but rather kind of a coarse raster approach that looks nicer than squares.)",
"\n\nAllston (n=120). ",
"The first map, I think, demonstrates how closely the categories tend to follow certain streets in all the neighborhoods. ",
"Market Street and Everett Street mark the western edges of the 25% and 75% categories, respectively, with 50% a little less defined on that side. ",
"Each level then cuts east and south in a couple of steps. ",
"It’s interesting that the commercial center of Allston, the Harvard Ave corridor, is only barely within the area of strongest agreement. ",
"A neighborhood “center” isn’t always in the middle!",
"\n\nBrighton (n=109). ",
"Not surprisingly, Brighton’s eastern edge matches up fairly well with Allston’s western edge. ",
"They’re not exactly interlocking jigsaw puzzle pieces, however, because not everyone who drew one neighborhood drew the other, nor were they necessarily careful to make the borders match precisely.",
"\n\nBack Bay (n=139). ",
"There are some hard lines here. ",
"Nobody goes past the Charlesgate, or past Mass Ave south of the Pike. ",
"An interesting section is that south of Huntington Ave. ",
"It has the character of the South End but Back Bay parking permits, presumably because the Southwest Corridor partially cuts it off from the former. ",
"Still, it doesn’t enjoy majority Back Bay status in this map.",
"\n\nBay Village (n=80). ",
"Not much room to mess around in this tiny neighborhood. ",
"The majority stays south of Stuart Street, with the supermajority between Arlington and Charles. ",
"The part north of Stuart, although small relative to the whole city, will be interesting to look at later as a no-man’s land; it seems hard to classify even though it has decent Bay Village representation here.",
"\n\nBeacon Hill (n=145). ",
"This may be the neighborhood with the most consensus. ",
"Everyone agrees on the southern, western, and northern boundaries. ",
"On the east side, the question is only whether Bowdoin, Somerset, or Cambridge/Tremont Street is the edge.",
"\n\nChinatown (n=113). ",
"It’s a little surprising how small the greatest agreement is here, at least to me. ",
"I’d probably draw something like the 50% shape. ",
"Note that even the Chinatown gate is just outside the 75% region. ",
"Perhaps it’s just hard to know which street is which on a map of this dense area, leading to more uncertain shapes from our respondents.",
"\n\nDorchester (n=54). ",
"Dorchester is large enough that we probably need more responses in order to see more agreement. (",
"This is the most populous neighborhood, of course, but it doesn’t have as many responses as some others, probably in part because it’s harder for non-residents to grasp.) ",
"Still, we have some good edges here: Blue Hill Ave for 25% and the Fairmount line for 50%. ",
"We’ll see those again in the Roxbury map.",
"\n\nDowntown/Financial District (n=118). “",
"Downtown” is fun to try to define, but we’ve wrapped it up here, perhaps not entirely appropriately, with the Financial District. ",
"Besides the easier-to-locate Financial District, to some degree this looks like a process-of-elimination neighborhood: if it isn’t Chinatown, the North End, &c., it must be downtown. ",
"Maybe that’s because it’s least residential neighborhood of the bunch, so there’s not really a strong identity.",
"\n\nFenway/Kenmore (n=128). ",
"I’m a bit surprised by how many people consider the Fenway neighborhood to end, well, at the Fenway itself on the west side. ",
"A minority of respondents here consider some of the Colleges of the Fenway to be actually in the neighborhood. ",
"What they’re thinking, presumably, is that this is the Longwood Medical Area and that the LMA is not part of the Fenway. ",
"It’s an intriguing zone because we left it off our neighborhood list, forcing people either to include it in an adjacent neighborhood or leave it blank. ",
"But we can talk more about that in another post.",
"\n\nHyde Park (n=42). ",
"We had few enough people drawing Hyde Park (or enough of them were clueless) that there is nowhere with more than 75% agreement. ",
"And to be honest I’m ignorant enough about Hyde Park that I can’t comment much on this one. ",
"It’s as outlying as outlying neighborhoods get in Boston. ",
"Anybody see anything interesting?",
"\n\nJamaica Plain (n=74). ",
"There are ome fascinatingly well defined edges here. ",
"On the east side, people thing the neighborhood ends either at the Southwest Corridor, at Washington Street and then in a line up to Jackson Square, or at Franklin Park et al. ",
"and Columbus Ave. ",
"The 75% line on the west and south nicely follows the parkways, too (otherwise it’s just the city limits).",
"\n\nLeather District (n=76). ",
"Tiny neighborhood #2, easily lost between Chinatown and downtown. ",
"But hey, it has its own parking permit! ",
"There’s not a lot to talk about at the scale of our maps this time; some folks have it bleed over to Fort Point Channel but otherwise it’s mostly confined to a few blocks.",
"\n\nMattapan (n=45). ",
"The 75% agreement is a very odd and small sliver, probably again due to a lack of data, or at least good data. ",
"But there are some clearer definitions at the other levels, for instance along Morton Street. ",
"As with the other southernmost neighborhoods, I can’t say much about this one personally. ",
"Comments are welcome!",
"\n\nMission Hill (n=82). ",
"There’s a lot of agreement here below 75%, with the only real difference being the section below Francis Street. ",
"75% agreement is only in a small area for some reason, not extending far from Tremont Street. ",
"Note that fewer than 25% consider the Longwood area to be part of Mission Hill.",
"\n\nNorth End (n=151). ",
"Along with Beacon Hill this is one of the best-defined neighborhoods, being easily recognized by residents and outsiders alike. ",
"The only uncertainties seem to be parts of the Bullfinch Triangle and Christopher Columbus Park (where, it’s worth pointing out, there is a sign welcoming you to the North End), and all the piers. ",
"But even those places are mostly above 50%.",
"\n\nRoslindale (n=41). ",
"Wait, is Roslindale a real place or just the name of an RMV branch? ",
"Poor Rozzie had the worst data of the lot. ",
"It’s just, you know, down there somewhere in between other neighborhoods. ",
"What you see here is after some purging of especially bizarre data that were throwing everything too far out of whack. ",
"No strong majority here, although the 50% and 25% area are reasonably clearly defined in places. ",
"Some of the rest, though… who knows. ",
"There’s even a weird floating piece of 25% territory.",
"\n\nRoxbury (n=64). ",
"I personally think Roxbury is the most interesting neighborhood to watch in all this. ",
"It has uncertainties on at least three sides, and it and its neighbors seem to have reasonably strong identities to both their residents and outsiders (in contrast to some places that only have the former). ",
"The South End-Roxbury border debate is well-publicized, and the JP border gets fuzzy too. ",
"Mission Hill isn’t always even considered separate from Roxbury, and the border with Dorchester varies widely, as already mentioned. ",
"Apart from some weirdness in the south part of 75% land, there are some interestingly clear-cut camps here.",
"\n\nSouth Boston (n=92). ",
"There seems to be a lot of unity in Southie, apart from the Seaport area and a bit of the other end. ",
"Maybe it’s just because there’s not much to compete with: there’s water on most of three sides and something of a dead zone on the other. ",
"South Boston is a neighborhood that has grown considerably over the years thanks to landfill, and this map is suggesting that people’s idea of the neighborhood has mostly, but not entirely, grown with it.",
"\n\nSouth End (n=116). ",
"Well, a lot of this has already been touched on by way of talking about surrounding neighborhoods. ",
"There’s a lot of agreement on Mass Ave as a border, despite the parking permit zone that crosses it (I think). ",
"Otherwise, the edges seem to match what we see in the adjacent neighborhoods, and within there is strong agreement.",
"\n\nWest End (n=114). ",
"I suspect that to old timers and casual scholars of Boston, the West End doesn’t even exist; it was torn down in the 1950s. ",
"But something is there: a weird land of hospitals and towers in the park. ",
"Everyone agrees on a tight loop of roads defining the West End, but beyond that it’s harder to say.",
"\n\nWest Roxbury (n=43). ",
"The last alphabetically and somewhat fittingly one of the most distant neighborhoods, this one again suffers from a lack of good data. ",
"It has the fortune of meeting the city boundary for much of its edge, but away from that there are some funny shapes. ",
"And once again I don’t have much to add. ",
"We need more data and your thoughts!",
"\n\nWhat does it mean?",
"\n\nAlthough we talk a lot about boundaries, this post included, the maps here should also remind us that neighborhoods are not defined by their edges—essentially, what is outside the neighborhood—but rather by their contents. ",
"And it’s not just a collection of roads and things you see on a map; it’s about some shared history, activities, architecture, and culture. ",
"So while the neighborhood summaries above rely on edges to describe the maps, let’s also think about the areas represented by the shapes and what’s inside them. ",
"What are the characteristics of these areas? ",
"Why are they the shapes that they are? ",
"Why is consensus easy or difficult in different areas? ",
"What is the significance of the differences in opinion between residents of a neighborhood and people outside the neighborhood?",
"\n\nWe’ll revisit those questions in further detail in future posts, and also generate maps of other facets of the data. ",
"Next up: areas of overlap between neighborhoods. ",
"Here we’ve looked neighborhood-by-neighborhood at how much people agree, so now let’s map those zones that exhibit disagreement. ",
"Meanwhile, thanks so much for all the submissions for this project; and if you haven’t drawn some neighborhoods, what’s your problem? ",
"Get on it!"

"Q:\n\nJava: Force base class to use base class method instead of overriden method\n\nI have a Base class method, that I want to override in a Derived class.",
"\nThe derived class method should be called whenever the method with the same name is accessed from \"outside\" or from the derived class. ",
"When acessing the method from inside the base class, I want the base class method to be used. ",
"Consider the following code:\npublic class TestBaseMethod\n{\n static class Basic {\n public Basic()\n {\n Basic.this.doSomething(); // <<---- This should call Basic version\n }\n\n public void doSomething()\n {\n System.out.println(\"Doing something old\");\n }\n }\n\n static class Derived extends Basic {\n Object ressource = new Object();\n\n @Override\n public void doSomething()\n {\n System.out.println(\"Doing something completely new\");\n // ressource.toString(); // <<---- explosion\n }\n }\n\n public static void main(String[] args)\n {\n Basic d = new Derived();\n System.out.println(\"-------------------------------\");\n d.doSomething(); // <<---- This should call Derived version\n }\n}\n\nI want the following output:\nDoing something old\n-------------------------------\nDoing something completely new\n\nBut it produces this output:\nDoing something completely new\n-------------------------------\nDoing something completely new\n\nI thought that explicitly stating the base class name in Basic.this.doSomething(); should do that trick, but apparently it does not.",
"\nObviously, I could declare a variable of type Basic inside a Derived class instead of Deriving, but that kind of defeats the idea that the Derived class \"is-a\" Basic class and would force me to write oneline-redirection methods to obtain the same interface.",
"\nHere is why I want to do that:\nWhen writing base classes, I want to use methods where I have the guarantee that inside the base class, the methods that I wrote are used, because I do not want deriving classes to interfere with base class internals. ",
"To me, it makes sense from an encapsulation standpoint, but maybe I am wrong?",
"\nThe Basic#doSomething() method can be called from the Basic() constructor.",
"\nIf the Derived#doSomething() method uses ressources from Derived, then those ressources will only be available after Derived construction.",
"\nHowever: Derived construction finishes AFTER the superclass construction, which means that when Derived is constructed, the Derived#doSomething() is called in the Basic() constructor and it will access uninitialized data.",
"\nIs there a way around this?",

"English (PDF version) - German - French - Dutch - Spanish - Back to main page BODY PLEASURE AND THE ORIGINS OF VIOLENCE By James W. Prescott\n\nFrom \"The Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists\", November 1975, pp. ",
"10-20\n\n(Introduction of the article in the \"Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists\":) James W. Prescott, a neuropsychologist, is a health scientist administrator at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland. ",
"He is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Humanist Association. ",
"This article appeared in part in the April 1975 issue of The Futurist, published by the World Future Society, and is reprinted here with their permission. ",
"The views and opinions expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the position of the National Institutes of Health. ",
"A neuropsychologist contends that the greatest threat to world peace comes from those nations which have the most depriving environments for their children and which are most repressive of sexual affection and female sexuality. ",
"James W. Prescott Human violence is fast becoming a global epidemic. ",
"All over the world, police face angry mobs, terrorists disrupt the Olympics, hijackers seize airplanes, and bombs wreck buildings. ",
"During the past year, wars raged in the Middle East, Cyprus, and Southeast Asia, and guerrilla fighting continued to escalate in Ireland. ",
"Meanwhile, crime in the United States grew even faster than inflation. ",
"Figures from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show that serious crimes rose 16 percent in the first six months of 1974—one of the largest crime increases since FBI record-keeping began. ",
"Unless the causes of violence are isolated and treated, we will continue to live in a world of fear and apprehension. ",
"Unfortunately, violence is often offered as a solution to violence. ",
"Many law enforcement officials advocate 'get tough' policies as the best method to reduce crime. ",
"Imprisoning people, our usual way of dealing with crime, will not solve the problem, because the causes of violence lie in our basic values and the way in which we bring up our children and youth. ",
"Physical punishment, violent films and TV programs teach our children that physical violence is normal. ",
"But these early life experiences are not the only or even the main source of violent behavior. ",
"Recent research supports the point of view that the deprivation of physical pleasure is a major ingredient in the expression of physical violence. ",
"The common as- p. 11, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists sociation of sex with violence provides a clue to understanding physical violence in terms of deprivation of physical pleasure. ",
"Unlike violence, pleasure seems to be something the world can't get enough of. ",
"People are constantly in search of new forms of pleasure, yet most of our 'pleasure' activities appear to be substitutes for the natural sensory pleasures of touching. ",
"We touch for pleasure or for pain or we don't touch at all. ",
"Although physical pleasure and physical violence seem worlds apart, there seems to be a subtle and intimate connection between the two. ",
"Until the relationship between pleasure and violence is understood, violence will continue to escalate. ",
"As a developmental neuropsychologist I have devoted a great deal of study to the peculiar relationship between violence and pleasure. ",
"I am now convinced that the deprivation of physical sensory pleasure is the principal root cause of violence. ",
"Laboratory experiments with animals show that pleasure and violence have a reciprocal relationship, that is, the presence of one inhibits the other. ",
"A raging, violent animal will abruptly calm down when electrodes stimulate the pleasure centers of its brain. ",
"Likewise, stimulating the violence centers in the brain can terminate the animal's sensual pleasure and peaceful behavior. ",
"When the brain's pleasure circuits are 'on,' the violence circuits are 'off,' and vice versa. ",
"Among human beings, a pleasure-prone personality rarely displays violence or aggressive behaviors, and a violent personality has little ability to tolerate, experience, or enjoy sensuously pleasing activities. ",
"As either violence or pleasure goes up, the other goes down. ",
"Sensory Deprivation The reciprocal relationship of pleasure and violence is highly significant because certain sensory experiences during the formative periods of development will create a neuropsychological predisposition for either violence-seeking or pleasure-seeking behaviors later in life. ",
"I am convinced that various abnormal social and emotional behaviors resulting from what psychologists call 'maternal-social' deprivation, that is, a lack of tender, loving care, are caused by a unique type of sensory deprivation, somatosensory deprivation. ",
"Derived from the Greek word for 'body,' the term refers to the sensations of touch and body movement which differ from the senses of light, hearing, smell and taste. ",
"I believe that the deprivation of body touch, contact, and movement are the basic causes of a number of emotional disturbances which Violence against sexuality and the use of sexuality for violence, particularly against women, has very deep roots in Biblical tradition. ",
"include depressive and autistic behaviors, hyperactivity, sexual aberration, drug abuse, violence, and aggression. ",
"These insights were derived chiefly from the controlled laboratory studies of Harry F. and Margaret K. Harlow at the University of Wisconsin. ",
"The Harlows and their students separated infant monkeys from their mothers at birth. ",
"The monkeys were raised in single cages in an animal colony room, where they could develop social relationships with the other animals through seeing, hearing, and smelling, but not through touching or movement. ",
"These and other studies indicate that it is the deprivation of body contact and body movement—not deprivation of the other senses—that produces the wide variety of abnormal emotional behaviors in these isolation-reared animals. ",
"It is well known that human infants and children who are hospitalized or institutionalized for extended periods with little physical touching and holding develop almost identical abnormal behaviors, such as rocking and head banging. ",
"Although the pathological violence observed in isolation-reared monkeys is well documented, the linking of early somatosensory deprivation with physical violence in humans is less well established. ",
"Numerous studies of juvenile delinquents and adult criminals have shown a family background of broken homes and/or physically abusive parents. ",
"These studies have rarely mentioned, let alone measured, the degree of deprivation of physical affection, although this is often inferred from the degree of neglect and abuse. ",
"One exceptional study in this respect is that of Brandt F. Steele and C. B. Pollock, psychiatrists at the University of Colorado, who studied child abuse in three generations of families who physically abused their children. ",
"They found that parents who abused their children were invariably deprived of physical affection themselves during childhood and that their adult sex life was extremely poor. ",
"Steele noted that almost without exception the women who abused their children had never experienced orgasm. ",
"The degree of sexual pleasure experienced by the men who abused their children was not ascertained, but their sex life, in general, was unsatisfactory. ",
"The hypothesis that physical pleasure actively inhibits physical violence can be appreciated from our own sexual experiences. ",
"How many of us feel like assaulting someone after we have just experienced orgasm? ",
"The contributions of Freud to the effects of early experiences upon later behaviors and the consequences of repressed sexuality have been well established. ",
"Unfortunately time and space do not permit a discussion here of his differences with Wilhelm Reich concerning his Beyond the Pleasure Principle. ",
"The hypothesis that deprivation of physical pleasure results in physical violence requires a formal systematic evaluation. ",
"We can test this hypothesis by examining cross-cultural studies of child-rearing practices, sexual behaviors, and physical violence. ",
"We would expect to find that human societies which provide their infants and children with a great deal of physical affection (touching, p. 12, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists holding, carrying) would be less physically violent than human societies which give very little physical affection to their infants and children. ",
"Similarly, human societies which tolerate and accept premarital and extramarital sex would be less physically violent than societies which prohibit and punish premarital and extramarital sex. ",
"Cultural anthropologists have gathered exactly the data required to examine this hypothesis for human societies—and their findings are conveniently arranged in R. B. Textor's A Cross-Cultural Summary [1]. ",
"Textor's book is basically a research tool for cross-cultural statistical inquiry. ",
"The survey provides some 20,000 statistically significant correlations from 400 culture samples of primitive societies. ",
"Infant Neglect/Adult Violence Certain variables which reflect physical affection (such as fondling, caressing, and playing with infants) were related to other variables which measure crime and violence (frequency of theft, killing, etc.). ",
"The important relationships are displayed in the tables. ",
"The percent figures reflect the relationships among the variables, for example, high affection/low violence plus low affection/high violence. ",
"This procedure is followed for all tables. ",
"Societies ranking high or low on the Infant Physical Affection Scale were examined for degree of violence. ",
"The results (Table 1) clearly indicated that those societies which give their infants the greatest amount of physical affection were characterized by low theft, low infant physical pain, low religious activity, and negligible or absent killing, mutilating, or torturing of the enemy. ",
"These data directly confirm that the deprivation of body pleasure during infancy is significantly linked to a high rate of crime and violence. ",
"Some societies physically punish their infants as a matter of discipline, while others do not. ",
"We can determine whether this punishment reflects a general concern for the infant's welfare by matching it against child nurturant care. ",
"The results (Table 2) indicate that societies which inflict pain and discomfort upon their infants tend to neglect them as well. ",
"These data provide no support for the prescription from Proverbs (23: 13-14): \"Withhold not chastisement from a boy; if you beat him with the rod, he will not die. ",
"Beat him with the rod, and you will save him from the nether world.\" ",
"Adult physical violence was accurately predicted in 36 of 49 cultures (73 percent) from the infant physical affection variable. ",
"The probability that a 73 percent rate of accuracy could occur by chance is only four times out of a thousand. ",
"Of the 49 societies studied, 13 cultures seemed to be exceptions to the theory that a lack of somatosensory pleasure makes people physically violent (see Table 3). ",
"It was expected that cultures which placed a high value upon physical pleasure during infancy and childhood would maintain such values into adulthood. ",
"This is not the case. ",
"Child rearing practices do not predict patterns of later sexual behavior. ",
"This initial surprise and presumed discrepancy, however, becomes advantageous for further prediction.",
"\n\nThe Long-Term Consequences of Infant Pleasure and Pain Human societies differ greatly in their treatment of infants. ",
"In some cultures, parents lavish physical affection on infants, while in others the parents physically punish their infants. ",
"A study of anthropological data by the author [2] found that those societies which give their infants the greatest amount of physical affection have less theft and violence among adults, thus supporting the theory that deprivation of bodily pleasure during infancy is significantly linked to a high rate of crime and violence. ",
"The tables below show how physical affection—or punishment—given infants correlates with other variables. ",
"For example, cultures which inflict pain on infants appear to be more likely to practice slavery, polygyny, etc. ",
"In the tables, N refers to the number of cultures in the comparison while P is the probability that the observed relationship could occur by chance which was calculated by the Fisher Exact Probability Test. ",
"TABLE 1 Adult Behaviors in Societies Where Physical Affection is Lavished on Infants Adult Behaviors Percent\n\n% N Probability\n\nP Invidious display of wealth is low 66 50 .06 Incidence of theft is low 72 36 .02 Overall infant indulgence is high 80 66 .0000 Infant physical pain low 65 63 .03 Negligible killing, torturing or mutilating the enemy 73 49 .004 Low religious activity 81 27 .003 TABLE 2 Adult Behaviors in Societies Where Pain is Inflicted on Infants by Parent or Nurturing Person Adult Behaviors Percent\n\n% N Probability\n\nP Slavery is present 64 66 .03 Polygyny (multiple wives) practiced 79 34 .001 Women status inferior 78 14 .03 Low infant physical affection 65 63 .03 Low overall infant indulgence 77 66 .000 Developing nurturant behavior in child is low 67 45 .05 Supernaturals (gods) are aggressive 64 36 .01 The coded scales on infancy were developed by cultural anthropologists Barry, Bacon and Child [3]; on sexual behavior by Westbrook, Ford and Beach [4]; and on physical violence by Slater [5].",
"\n\np. 13, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Two variables that are highly correlated are not as useful for predicting a third variable as two variables that are uncorrelated. ",
"Consequently, it is meaningful to examine the sexual behaviors of the 13 cultures whose adult violence was not predictable from physical pleasure during infancy. ",
"Apparently, the social customs which influence and determine the behaviors of sexual affection are different from those which underlie the expression of physical affection toward infants. ",
"When the six societies characterized by both high infant affection and high violence are compared in terms of their premarital sexual behavior, it is surprising to find that five of them exhibit premarital sexual repression, where virginity is a high value of these cultures. ",
"It appears that the beneficial effects of infant physical affection can be negated by the repression of physical pleasure (premarital sex) later in life. ",
"The seven societies characterized by both low infant physical affection and low adult physical violence were all found to be characterized by permissive premarital sexual behaviors. ",
"Thus, the detrimental effects of infant physical affectional deprivation seem to be compensated for later in life by sexual body pleasure experiences during adolescence. ",
"These findings have led to a revision of the somatosensory pleasure deprivation theory from a one-stage to a two-stage developmental theory where the physical violence in 48 of the 49 cultures could be accurately classified. ",
"In short, violence may stem from deprivation of somatosensory pleasure either in infancy or in adolescence. ",
"The only true exception in this culture sample is the headhunting Jivaro tribe of South America. ",
"Clearly, this society requires detailed study to determine the causes of its violence. ",
"The Jivaro belief system may play an important role, for as anthropologist Michael Harner notes in Jivaro Souls [6], these Indians have a \"deep-seated belief that killing leads to the acquisition of souls which provide a supernatural power conferring immunity from death.\"",
"\n\nInfant Physical Affection and Adult Physical Violence Societies that provide infants with a great deal of physical affection ('tender loving care') are later characterized by relatively non-violent adults. ",
"In 36 of the 49 cultures studied, a high degree of infant affection was associated with a low degree of adult physical violence—and vice versa. ",
"When the 13 exceptions were investigated, it was found that the violence of all but one (the Jivaro tribe of South America) could be accounted for the presence or absence of premarital sexual behavior. ",
"TABLE 3 Relationship of Infant Physical Affectional Deprivation to Adult Physical Violence High Infant Physical Affection Low Infant Physical Affection High Infant Physical Affection Low Infant Physical Affection Low Adult Physical Violence High Adult Physical Violence High Adult Physical Violence Low Adult Physical Violence Andamanese Alorese Cheyenne Ainu Arapesh Aranda Chir-Apache Ganda Balinese Araucanians Crow Kwakiutl Chagga Ashanti Jivaro a Lepcha Chenchu Aymara Kurtatchi Pukapuka Chuckchee Azande Zunic Samoansb Cuna Comanche Tanala Hano Fon Lau Kaska Lesu Marquesans Maori Masai Murngin Navaho Nuer Ojibwa Papago Thonga Siriono Tallensi Tikopia Timbira Trobriand Wogeo Woleaians Yahgan Premarital sex punished: underlined Premarital sex permitted: italic a According to Harner (1972) the Jivaro culture is misclassified and belongs in column 2 (personal communication).",
"\n\nb According to Derek Freeman, Professor of Anthropology, Australian National University, the Samoans belong in column 2 (personal communication).",
"\n\nc The Zuni are also reclassified to column 1.",
"\n\nSource: Textor [1]; infant behavior ratings from Barry, Bacon and Child [3]; and adult violence ratings from Slater [5]. ",
"This table is a revised version updated with information from the article \"Can More Touching Lead to Less Violence in Our Society?\" ",
"by Lionel Gambill, published in The Truth Seeker, March/April 1989. ",
"Gambill writes: Subsequent to original publication of this material in The Futurist in April 1975, cultural anthropologists informed Prescott of errors in some of the original codings in the reference work on which the comparison was based. ",
"When these errors were corrected, no exceptions remained. ",
"The Pleasure/Violence Reciprocity Theory, applied to the cultures listed in that reference work, has a predictive validity of 100%. ",
"The original version of the table from the Futurist is available here.",
"\n\nThe strength of the two-stage deprivation theory of violence is most vividly illustrated when we contrast the societies showing high rates of physical affection during infancy and adolescence against those societies which are consistently low in physical affection for both developmental periods. ",
"The statistics associated with this relationship are extraordinary: The percent likelihood of a society being physically violent if it is physically affectionate toward its infants and tolerant of premarital sexual behavior is 2 percent (48/49). ",
"The probability of this relationship occurring by chance is 125,000 to one. ",
"I am not aware of any other developmental variable that has such a high degree of predictive validity. ",
"Thus, we seem to have a firmly based principle: Physically affectionate human societies are highly unlikely to be physically violent. ",
"Accordingly, when physical affection and pleasure during adolescence as well as infancy are related to measures of violence, we find direct evidence of a significant relationship between the punishment of premarital sex behaviors and various measures of crime and violence. ",
"As Table 4 shows, additional clusters of relationships link the punishment and repression of premarital sex to large community size, high social complexity and class stratification, small extended families, purchase of wives, practice of slavery, and a high god present in human morality. ",
"The relationship between small extended families and punitive premarital sex attitudes deserves emphasis, for it suggests that the nuclear Western cultures may be a contributing factor to our repressive attitudes toward sexual expression. ",
"p. 14, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists The same can be suggested for community size, social complexity, and class stratification. ",
"Not surprisingly, when high self-needs are combined with the deprivation of physical affection, the result is self-interest and high rates of narcissism. ",
"Likewise, exhibitionistic dancing and pornography may be interpreted as a substitute for normal sexual expression. ",
"Some nations which are most repressive of female sexuality have rich pornographic art forms. ",
"Extramarital Sex I also examined the influence of extramarital sex taboos upon crime and violence. ",
"The data clearly indicates that punitive-repressive attitudes toward extramarital sex are also linked with physical violence, personal crime, and the practice of slavery. ",
"Societies which value monogamy emphasize military glory and worship aggressive gods. ",
"These cross-cultural data support the view of psychologists and sociologists who feel that sexual and psychological needs not being fulfilled within a marriage should be met outside of it, without destroying the primacy of the marriage relationship.",
"\n\nPremarital Sex, Physical Violence and Other Adult Behaviors Premarital sexual freedom for young people can help reduce violence in a society, and the physical pleasure that youth obtains from sex can offset a lack of physical affection during infancy. ",
"Other research also indicates that societies which punish premarital sex are likely to engage in wife purchasing, to worship a high god in human morality, and to practice slavery. ",
"Other results are shown in the table below. ",
"TABLE 4 Adult Behaviors in Societies Where Premarital Sex is Strongly Punished Adult Behaviors Percent\n\n% N Probability\n\nP Community size is larger 73 80 .0003 Slavery is present 59 176 .005 Societal complexity is high 87 15 .01 Personal crime is high 71 28 .05 Class stratification is high 60 111 .01 High incidence of theft 68 31 .07 Small extended family 70 63 .008 Extramarital sex is punished 71 58 .005 Wives are purchased 54 114 .02 Castration anxiety is high 65 37 .009 Longer post-partum sex taboo 62 50 .03 Bellicosity is extreme 68 37 .04 Sex disability is high 83 23 .004 Killing, torturing and mutilating the enemy is high 69 35 .07 Narcissism is high 66 38 .04 Exhibitionistic dancing is emphasized 65 66 .04 High god in human morality 81 27 .01\n\nThese findings overwhelmingly support the thesis that deprivation of body pleasure throughout life—but particularly during the formative periods of infancy, childhood, and adolescence—are very closely related to the amount of warfare and interpersonal violence. ",
"These insights should be applied to large and complicated industrial and postindustrial societies. ",
"Crime and physical violence have substantially increased over the past decade in the United States. ",
"According to FBI statistics, both murder and aggravated assault increased 53 percent between 1967 and 1972, while forcible rape rose 70 percent. ",
"These figures again raise the question of the special relationship between sexuality and violence. ",
"In addition to our rape statistics, there is other evidence that points to preference for sexual violence over sexual pleasure in the United States. ",
"This is reflected in our acceptance of sexually explicit films that involve violence and rape, and our rejection of sexually explicit films for pleasure only (pornography). ",
"Neighborhood movie theaters show such sexually violent films as Straw Dogs, Clockwork Orange, and The Klansman, while banning films which portray sexual pleasure (Deep Throat, The Devil in Miss Jones). ",
"Attempts to close down massage parlors are another example of our anti-pleasure attitudes. ",
"Apparently, sex with pleasure is immoral and unacceptable, but sex with violence and pain is moral and acceptable. ",
"A questionnaire I developed to explore this question was administered to 96 college students whose average age was 19 years. ",
"The results of the questionnaire support the connection between rejection of physical pleasure (and particularly of premarital and extramarital sex) with expression of physical violence. ",
"Respondents who reject abortion, responsible premarital sex, and nudity within the family were likely to approve of harsh physical punishment for children and to believe that pain helps build strong moral character. ",
"These respondents were likely to find alcohol and drugs more satisfying than sex. ",
"The data obtained from the questionnaire provide strong statistical support for the basic inverse relationship between physical violence and physical pleasure. ",
"If violence is high, pleasure is low, and conversely, if pleasure is high, violence is low. ",
"The questionnaire bears out the theory that the pleasure-violence relationship found in primitive cultures also holds true for a modern industrial nation. ",
"Another way of looking at the reciprocal relationship between violence and pleasure is to examine a society's choice of drugs. ",
"A society will support behaviors that are consistent with its values and social mores. ",
"U.S. society is a competitive, aggressive, and violent society. ",
"Consequently, it supports drugs that fa- p. 15, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists cilitate competitive, aggressive, and violent behaviors and opposes drugs that counteract such behaviors. ",
"Alcohol is well known to facilitate the expression of violent behaviors, and, although addicting and very harmful to chronic users, is acceptable to U.S. society. ",
"Marijuana, on the other hand, is an active pleasure-inducing drug which enhances the pleasure of touch and actively inhibits violent-aggressive behaviors. ",
"It is for these reasons, I believe that marijuana is rejected in U.S. society. ",
"For similar reasons heroin is rejected and methadone (an addicting drug minus the pleasure) is accepted. ",
"The data from my questionnaire support this view. ",
"As Table 5 shows, very high correlations between alcohol use and parental punishment indicate that people who received little affection from their mothers and had physically punitive fathers are likely to become hostile and aggressive when they drink. ",
"Such people find alcohol more satisfying than sex. ",
"There is an even stronger relationship between parental physical punishment and drug usage. ",
"Respondents who were physically punished as children showed alcohol-induced hostility and aggression and were likely to find alcohol and drugs more satisfying than sex. ",
"The questionnaire also reveals high correlations between sexual repression and drug usage. ",
"Those who describe premarital sex as \"not agreeable\" are likely to become aggressive when drinking and to prefer drugs and alcohol to sexual pleasures. ",
"This is additional evidence for the hypothesis that drug \"pleasures\" are a substitute for somatosensory pleasures.",
"\n\nViolence and Pleasure:\n\nThe Attitudes of College Students The reciprocal relationship of violence and pleasure holds true in modern industrial nations as well as primitive societies. ",
"This theory was tested by means of a questionnaire given to 96 college students (average age: 19). ",
"The results showed that students who have relatively negative attitudes toward sexual pleasure tend to favor harsh punishment for children and to believe that violence is necessary to solve problems. ",
"The students rated a series of statements on a scale of 1 to 6, where 1 indicated strong agreement and 6 strong disagreement. ",
"Through a statistical technique (factor analysis), a personality profile of the violent person was developed. ",
"Table 5 shows the degree of relationship among the various statements which reflect social and moral values. ",
"The figures at left, known as 'loadings,' are treated like correlation coefficients. ",
"They indicate the strength with which each variable contributes to the overall personality description of the respondent as defined by this specific profile. ",

"This table is a slightly revised version. ",
"The original version has been preserved.",
"\n\nReligious Roots The origins of the fundamental reciprocal relationship between physical violence and physical pleasure can be traced to philosophical dualism and to the theology of body/soul relationships. ",
"In Western philosophical thought man was not a unitary being but was divided into two parts, body and soul. ",
"The Greek philosophical conception of the relationship between body and soul was quite different than the Judeo-Christian concept which posited a state of war between the body and soul. ",
"Within Judeo-Christian thought the purpose of human life was to save the soul, and the body was seen as an impediment to achieving this objective. ",
"Consequently, the body must be punished and deprived. ",
"In St. Paul's words: \"Put to death the base pursuits of the body—for if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live\" (Romans 8:13). ",
"St. Paul clearly advocated somatosensory pleasure deprivation and enhancement of painful somatosen- p. 16, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists sory stimulation as essential prerequisites for saving the soul. \"",
"Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman\" (1 Corinthians, 7:1). ",
"Aristotle did not view a state of war between the body and soul, but rather envisioned a complimentary relationship in which the state of the soul or mind was dependent on the state of the body. ",
"In fact he stated that \"the care of the body ought to precede that of the soul.\" (",
"Politica) Aristotle also appreciated the reciprocal relationship between pleasure and pain, and recognized that a compulsive search for bodily pleasure originates from a state of bodily discomfort and pain: Now, excess is possible in the case of the goods of the body, and it is the pursuit of excess, but not the pursuit of necessary pleasures, that makes a man bad. ",
"For all men get some kind of enjoyment from good food, wine, and sexual relations, but not everyone enjoys these things in the proper way. ",
"The reverse is true of pain: a bad person does not avoid an excess of it, but he avoids it altogether. ",
"For the opposite of an excess is pain only for the man who pursues the excess. . . . ",
"Accordingly, we must now explain why the pleasures of the body appear to be more desirable. ",
"The first reason, then, is that pleasure drives out pain. ",
"When men experience an excess of pain, they pursue excessive pleasure and bodily pleasure in general, in the belief that it will remedy the pain. ",
"These remedial (pleasures) become very intense—and that is the very reason why they are pursued because they are experienced in contrast with their opposite. (",
"Nichomachean Ethics, Book 7) It is clear that the world has only limited time to change its custom of resolving conflicts violently. ",
"It is uncertain whether we have the time to undo the damage done by countless previous generations, nor do we know how many future generations it will take to transform our psychobiology of violence into one of peace. ",
"In his discussion of the highest good, Aristotle was quite explicit: \"Therefore, the highest good is some sort of pleasure, despite the fact that most pleasures are bad, and, if you like, bad in the unqualified sense of the word.\" (",
"Nichomachean Ethics, Book 7) It is evident that the Judeo-Christian concept of body pleasure is quite the opposite of that outlined by Aristotle, particularly, the relief of body pain and discomfort through somatosensory pleasure. ",
"This denial of somatosensory pleasure in Pauline Christian doctrine has led to alternative forms of 'relief' through such painful stimulations as hair-shirts, self-scourgings, self-mutilations, physical violence against others, and in the non-sensory pleasures of drugs. ",
"Experimental animal studies have documented counterparts to these phenomena. ",
"For example, animals deprived of somatosensory stimulation will engage in mutilations of their own bodies. ",
"Animals deprived of touching early in life develop impaired pain perception and an aversion to being touched by others. ",
"They are thus blocked from experiencing the body-pleasure therapy that they need for rehabilitation. ",
"In this condition, they have few alternatives but physical violence, where pain-oriented touching and body contact is facilitated by their impaired ability to experience pain. ",
"Thus, physical violence and physical pain become therapies of choice for those deprived of physical pleasure. ",
"The question arises as to how Christian philosophy and theology, which borrowed heavily from Aristotle, managed to avoid, if not outright reject, Aristotle's teachings regarding the morality of pleasure. ",
"The roots to this question can be found throughout the Old Testament, beginning with the account in Genesis of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. ",
"The first consequence of Eve's transgression was that nudity became shameful. ",
"This even may well be the beginning of man's hostility toward women and the equating of woman with evil, particularly the evils of the body. ",
"This is vividly portrayed in Zechariah (5:5-8) in an angel's description of the flying bushel: \"This is a bushel container coming. ",
"This is their guilt in all the land.\" ",
"Then a leaden cover was lifted and there was a woman sitting inside the bushel. \"",
"This is wickedness, he said, and he thrust her inside the bushel, pushing the leaden cover into the opening.\" ",
"Violence against sexuality and the use of sexuality for violence, particularly against women, has very deep roots in Biblical tradition, and is spelled out very early. ",
"The nineteenth chapter of Genesis (19:1-11), the first book of the Old Testament, holds that the rape of woman is acceptable but the rape of man is \"a wicked thing.\" ",
"This chapter about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah describes Lot's hospitality to two male travelers (actually two angels) who were housed with him. ",
"In the evening the townsmen of Sodom came to Lot's house and said to him: \"Where are the men who came to your house tonight? ",
"Bring them out to us that we may have intimacies with them.\" ",
"Lot went out to meet them at the entrance. ",
"When he had shut the door behind him, he said, \"I beg you, my brothers, not to do this wicked thing. ",
"I have two daughters who have never had intercourse with men. ",
"Let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you please. ",
"But don't do anything to these men, for you know they have come under the shelter of my roof.\" ",
"They replied, \"Stand back! ",
"This fellow,\" they sneered, \"came here as an immigrant, and now he dares to give orders! ",
"We'll treat you worse than them!\" ",
"With that, they pressed hard against Lot, moving in closer to break down the door. ",
"But his guests put out their hand, pulled Lot inside with them, and closed the p. 17, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists door; at the same time they struck the men at the entrance of the house, one and all, with such blinding light that they were utterly unable to reach the doorway. ",
"As the story continues, the two angels escort Lot and his family to safety and then destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for their great sinfulness. ",
"Yet not a word of reproach is given to Lot for his willingness to hand over his two virgin daughters to be gang raped. ",
"This same story is repeated in the books of Ezekiel (23:1-49) and Judges (19:22-30). ",
"Given such a tradition, it is understandable that during the Inquisition only women were charged with having intercourse with the devil and put to death for this crime of pleasure. ",
"What man has died at the stake for having slept with Satan? ",
"This tradition is maintained in modern cultures where women are punished for prostitution but their male customers are not. ",
"The historical and Biblical acceptance of rape down through the ages has brutalized the psyche of males brought up in this tradition. ",
"This is well illustrated in the account of Michael McCusker, a Marine sergeant who witnessed a gang rape in Vietnam. ",
"McCusker [7] tells of a rifle squad of nine men who entered a small village. ",
"They were supposed to go after what they called a Viet Cong whore. ",
"They went into her village and instead of capturing her, they raped her—every man raped her. ",
"As a matter of fact, one man said to me later that it was the first time he had ever made love to a woman with his boots on. ",
"The man who led the platoon, or the squad, was actually a private. ",
"The squad leader was a sergeant but he was a useless person and he let the private take over his squad. ",
"Later he said he took no part in the raid. ",
"It was against his morals. ",
"So instead of telling his squad not to do it, because they wouldn't listen to him anyway, the sergeant went into another side of the village and just sat and stared bleakly at the ground, feeling sorry for himself. ",
"But at any rate, they raped the girl, and then, the last man to make love to her, shot her in the head. ",
"What is it in the American psyche that permits the use of the word 'love' to describe rape? ",
"And where the act of love is completed with a bullet in the head! ",
"The first months. ",
"Breast-feeding and caressing will help this infant to grow into a non-violent adult. ",
"Denial of such body contact in infancy can have the opposite effect. ",
"Why do men rape women? ",
"Researchers report that most rapists have a family background of paternal punishment and hostility and loss of maternal affection. ",
"I interpret rape as man's revenge against woman for the early loss of physical affection. ",
"A man can express his hostility toward his mother for not giving him enough physical attention by sexually violating another woman. ",
"Another explanation may be that the increasing sexual freedom of women is threatening to man's position of power and dominance over women which he often maintains through sexual aggression. ",
"Rape destroys sensual pleasure in woman and enhances sadistic pleasure in man. ",
"Through rape, man defends himself from the sensual pleasures of women which threaten his position of power and dominance. ",
"It is my belief that rape has its Realistic dolls. ",
"Swedish paper doll exemplifies the frankness about the human body that is needed to inculcate wholesome attitudes toward sex and violence. ",
"In this paper doll, no attempt is made to idealize or de-sexualize the human body; the body is simply accepted as it is. ",
"p. 18, November 1975, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists origins in the deprivation of physical affection in parent-child relationships and adult sexual relationships; and in a religious value system that considers pain and body deprivation moral and physical pleasure immoral. ",
"Rape maintains man's dominance over woman and supports the perpetuation of patriarchal values in our society.",
"\n\n\n\nThis figure shows the effects of the rearing environment upon a type of nerve cell (called a stellate) which is found in the fourth layer of a rat's visual cortex. ",
"The number of branches of the dendrites is much greater in animals reared in groups in a toy-filled environment (called enriched environmental condition, EC) than the number which occurs when two rats are reared together in an ordinary cage (called social condition, SC) or when rats are reared alone in ordinary cages (called isolate condition, IC). ",
"These data show that extreme conditions of sensory/social deprivation are not necessary to alter brain structure, and that an enriched sensory/social environment can increase the complexity of brain cells. ",
"Dendrites, which are usually branched like a tree, are the part of the nerve cell (neuron) which carries the nerve impulse to the cell body; and they are the means by which brain cells communicate with one another. ",
"Brain cells with many dendrites can influence and regulate the activity of other brain cells more effectively than brain cells with fewer or abnormal dendrites. ",
"It is believed that the complexity of brain cells is related to the ability to solve complex problems both of an intellectual and social nature, and that abnormal dendritic structures underlie abnormal electrical 'spike' discharges in the brain. ",

"This risk assessment has several defining characteristics: (1) an accounting of uncertainty in all parameters that relate a given concentration of tritium in drinking water to lifetime risk (except the number of days of consumption of drinking water in a year and the number of years of consumption) and an accounting of correlations of uncertain parameters to obtain probability distributions that represent uncertainty in estimated lifetime risks of cancer incidence; (2) inclusion of a radiation effectiveness factor (REF) to represent an increased biological effectiveness of low-energy electrons emitted in decay of tritium compared with high-energy photons; (3) use of recent estimates of risks of cancer incidence from exposure to high-energy photons, including the dependence of risks on an individual's gender and age, in the BEIR VII report; and (4) inclusion of risks of incidence of skin cancer, principally basal cell carcinoma. ",
"By assuming ingestion of tritium in drinking water at the MCL over an average life expectancy of 80 y in females and 75 y in males, 95% credibility intervals of lifetime risks of cancer incidence obtained in this assessment are (0.35, 12) × 10(-4) in females and (0.30, 15) × 10(-4) in males. ",
"Mean risks, which are considered to provide the best single measure of expected risks, are about 3 × 10(-4) in both genders. ",
"In comparison, USEPA's point estimate of the lifetime risk of cancer incidence, assuming a daily consumption of drinking water of 2 L over an average life expectancy of 75.2 y and excluding an REF for tritium and incidence of skin cancer, is 5.6 × 10(-5). ",
"Probability distributions of annual equivalent doses to the whole body associated with the drinking water standard for tritium also were obtained. ",
"Means and 97.5th percentiles of maximum annual doses to females and males, which occur at age <1 y, all are less than the annual equivalent dose of 40 μSv used by USEPA to establish the MCL."

"The cortisol response in policemen: intraindividual variation, not concentration level, predicts truncal obesity.",
"\nChronic stress, characteristic of police work, affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis' control of cortisol production. ",
"Capacity to vary cortisol may be the appropriate measurement to interpret associations with chronic diseases, including obesity, best measured by variability within a person, not central tendency. ",
"On each of 217 policemen, 18 saliva specimens were obtained for cortisol. ",
"Statistical models examined the associations of within-subjects (W-S) cortisol standard deviation (SD) and W-S cortisol mean with waist circumference and four body composition indexes: BMI, and three derived from DEXA: fat-mass, and trunk and extremities lean-mass. ",
"Explained variance and the functional nature of associations are reported. ",
"Associations of anthropometrics with W-S cortisol mean were not statistically significant at P < 0.05; all associations with W-S cortisol SD were significant. ",
"The association of trunk lean mass index (LMIt ) with W-S cortisol SD dominated all models. ",
"Associations of W-S cortisol SD with other indexes vanished when models contained LMIt ; when any other index was included in models predicting LMIt , associations with W-S cortisol SD remained significant. ",
"The functional association between LMIt and W-S cortisol SD is progressively \"hockey stick,\" monotonic increasing, and flattens at joint high values. ",
"Results support inferences that LMIt measures visceral adiposity and W-S cortisol variability appears to be an appropriate construct to measure in association with visceral adiposity. ",
"The \"hockey stick\" character of the association is consistent with other investigations suggesting obesity is associated with less W-S cortisol variation; however, the monotonic increase and flattening of association at increasing W-ScortisolSD values suggests a more complex association, potentially interpretable by allostasis models of causation."

"Field of the Invention\nThis invention relates to apparatus and methods for forming thin-film microcantilevers for use in atomic force microscopes and other microscope systems.",
"\n2. ",
"Prior Art\nAn atomic force microscope (AFM) scans over the surface of a sample in two different modes of operation. ",
"In one mode, the contacting mode, a sharp tip is mounted on the end of a cantilever and the tip rides on the surface of a sample with an extremely light tracking force, on the order of 10.sup.-5 to 10.sup.-10 N. In the contacting mode of operation, profiles of the surface topology are obtained with extremely high resolution. ",
"Images showing the position of individual atoms are routinely obtained. ",
"In the other mode, the tip is held a short distance, on the order of 5 to 500 Angstroms, from the surface of a sample and is deflected by various forces between the sample and the tip, such forces include electrostatic, magnetic, and van der Waals forces.",
"\nSeveral methods of detecting the deflection of the cantilever are available which have subangstrom sensitivity, including vacuum tunneling, optical interferometry, optical beam deflection, and capacitive techniques. ",
"However, fabrication of a readily reproducible cantilever stylus assembly has been a limiting factor on use of AFM and other forms of microscopy such as scanning tunneling microscopes.",
"\nThe technical requirements for a cantilever stylus assembly, which includes a cantilever arm and a protruding tip, include a number of different factors. ",
"A low force constant for the cantilever is desirable so that reasonable values of deflection are obtained with relatively small deflection forces. ",
"Typical values are 0.01-1000N/m. A mechanical resonant frequency for the cantilever which is greater than 10 kHz ia desirable to increase image tracking speed and to reduce sensitivity to ambient vibrations. ",
"Low force constants and high resonant frequencies are obtained by minimizing the mass of the cantilever and the tip.",
"\nWhen optical beam deflection is used to detect deflection of the cantilever, deflection sensitivity is inversely proportional to the length of the cantilever. ",
"Therefore a cantilever length of less than 1 mm is desirable.",
"\nFor certain types of deflection sensing, a high mechanical Q is desirable and is achieved by using amorphous or single crystal thin films for fabrication of the cantilever.",
"\nIn many applications, it is desirable that the cantilever flex in only one direction and have high lateral stiffness. ",
"This can be obtained by using a geometry such as V-shape which has two arms obliquely extending and meeting at a point at which the tip is mounted.",
"\nIt is often required that a conductive electrode or reflective spot be located on the side of the cantilever opposite the tip. ",
"This is obtained by fabricating the cantilever from metal or depositing a conductive material on certain portions of the cantilever to serve as a conductor or reflector.",
"\nFinally, a sharp tip, that is, a protruding tip with a tip radius less than 500 Angstroms and which may terminate in a single atom, is desired to provide good lateral resolution. ",
"This requirement has traditionally been one of the most difficult to obtain in a reproducible manner. ",
"Typically, in the prior art, tips were made by hand using fabrication and bonding techniques which were time consuming and which produced non-uniformly performing tips.",
"\nIn the prior art, cantilever arms were constructed by hand from fine tungsten wires. ",
"One way of obtaining a tip portion on such an arm was to etch the wire to a point and then bend the point to perpendicularly extend from the wire. ",
"Another way to obtain a tip was to glue a tiny diamond fragment in place at the end of a cantilever. ",
"Prior art cantilevers fabricated using photolithographic techniques did not have integrally-formed sharp protruding tips. ",
"For these cantilevers a rather dull tip was effectively obtained by using a corner of the microfabricated cantilever itself as a tip. ",
"Alternatively, a diamond fragment was glued by hand to the end of a microfabricated cantilever. ",
"The cantilever assembly of an AFM is relatively fragile and is virtually impossible to clean when it is contaminated by material from the surface being scanned so that frequent replacement is required.",
"\nCurrently, technologists are attempting to microfabricate STMs and AFMs using microfabrication techniques which are compatible with standard fabrication processes used in the silicon semiconductor integrated circuit industry. ",
"Their goal is to mass-produce very precise, very reliable sensors which have minimal thermal drift, signal loss, and low noise characteristics by taking advantage of the inherent low mass, high resonant frequencies, and low thermal drift characteristics of microfabricated devices. ",
"In addition, these microfabricated sensors can be integrally combined with electronic circuitry fabricated with the same processes."

"Introduction {#Sec1}\n============\n\nCentral nervous system (CNS) modulates behaviour and brain functioning with the help of multiple neurotransmitters. ",
"One of the important neurotransmitters is Glutamate (Glu)^[@CR1]^ which is a nonessential amino acid (AA) present abundantly in the body^[@CR2]^. It is involved in a variety of body functions either directly or by converting into other products^[@CR3]^. Evidence shows the importance of Glu in facilitating protein synthesis^[@CR4]^, intestinal nutrition, cell signalling, gene expression modulation, immune responses^[@CR5]^, regulating blood glucose level, removing excess ammonia^[@CR6]^, disposal of excess or waste nitrogen^[@CR7]^ as well as in intermediary metabolism^[@CR2]^ as an important energy fuel^[@CR5]^. Other than this, it is also a precursor of various biologically active components like glutathione (GSH), GABA, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, polyamines, poly-glutamated folate cofactors or certain AAs like glutamine, alanine, aspartate, proline, arginine, citrulline^[@CR2]--[@CR5],[@CR8]^. Glu is present in various foods either as naturally occurring free Glu (vegetable, seafood, milk, meat, cheese) or as a by-product of hydrolysed protein (used in seasoning) or as a salt; MSG (monosodium glutamate), a food additive or flavouring agent in canned foods, dry mixes, sauces, and soups^[@CR9]^.\n\nNutritionally, Glu is important for taste perception and for facilitation of gastric and pancreatic function^[@CR3],[@CR9]^. Various studies have reported the potential health effects of dietary glutamate supplementation that include improvement of taste and palatability^[@CR10]^, modification of gastric secretion and motility, enhanced cellular proliferation^[@CR11]^, stimulation of gastro-intestinal exocrine secretions and prevention of incidence of diarrhoea^[@CR12]^. It is also used to treat dyspepsia^[@CR13]^, improves growth performance, enhances protein synthesis^[@CR4],[@CR14]^, restores mucous circulation and AA metabolism, and prevents cellular injury and apoptosis of enterocytes^[@CR4]^. Reports have also shown its potential in amelioration of endotoxin-induced intestinal damage and maintaining intestinal integrity^[@CR5],[@CR14]^, increasing nucleotide synthesis^[@CR3]^, improving antioxidant status^[@CR15]^, ROS scavenging^[@CR16]^, amelioration of hypoxia-induced oxidative stress^[@CR17]^, inhibition of fat accumulation^[@CR18]^ and progression of atherogenesis and fatty liver disease^[@CR19]^.\n\nGlu metabolism is shown to be mainly involved in maintaining normal brain function^[@CR20]^ to regulate neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival^[@CR21]^. Most of the brain Glu is synthesised either from glucose or 3-hydroxybutyrate or from other AAs^[@CR8]^. High concentration of Glu is present in blood and CSF^[@CR22]^ and in brain regions responsible for mediating memory and cognitive functioning like cortex, hippocampus and striatum^[@CR1],[@CR23]^. Synaptic Glu signalling is involved in neuronal growth and synaptic plasticity^[@CR24]^ contributing to learning and memory processing and cognitive functioning^[@CR1],[@CR2],[@CR25],[@CR26]^. Its usefulness in facilitation of potassium transport across blood brain barrier (BBB) suggests its promising role in future treatment of neurological conditions^[@CR6]^. Glu neurons are widely distributed in forebrain and hippocampus^[@CR1]^. Hippocampus is reported to be largely dependent upon Glu signalling implicated in learning and memory functions^[@CR24]^. Supplements of Glu are available in market for various purposes such as to maintain blood glucose levels, to increase immunity, to build proteins, and to promote optimal absorption and assimilation^[@CR27]--[@CR29]^. It was initially thought that its systemic or oral administration cannot affect its availability in CNS as Glu cannot cross the BBB^[@CR28],[@CR30]^. But later researchers found that Glu can cross the BBB up to a certain extent and dietary Glu supplements improve the brain functioning^[@CR31],[@CR32]^ leading to generation of hypothesis that chronic free Glu supplementation at a dose equivalent to average daily intake of humans might have beneficial effect on behaviour of animals. ",
"Despite extensive beneficial use in periphery, studies addressing its beneficial effects on CNS are limited. ",
"Since to date studies on the use of free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu on CNS function are scarce, hence the objective of the present study is therefore specifically to investigate the effects of free Glu on brain and associated neurobehavioral alterations at a dose equivalent to adequate human intake in rats. ",
"In order to understand the underlying mechanism responsible for behavioural alterations, the current study was further aimed to monitor the effects of dietary free Glu supplements on motor and cognitive performance as well as associated changes in brain redox status. ",
"Glu/GABA content and monoaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmission in rats was also studied.",

"\n\nDiscussion {#Sec7}\n==========\n\nThe current study found improvement in motor activity and learning and memory performance following chronic supplementation of free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu via modulating the neurochemical and redox status in the brain. ",
"Reports showed that intake of [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu in drinking water had no effect on food intake and body weight^[@CR37],[@CR38],[@CR41]^. Present findings support these studies as we also found no significant change in body weight and food intake of rats which might be associated with high energy expenditure. ",
"However present findings contradict with Yin et al.^[@CR15]^ who reported increase in growth rate and body weight of pigs following dietary supplementation of 2% Glu for 7 days^[@CR15]^. Glu being a major excitatory neurotransmitter is essential for all behaviors^[@CR21]^. Our results showed that locomotor activity was improved following free Glu supplementation. ",
"Administration of Glu as a nootropic agent is a topic of interest since last 60 years. ",
"It is evident that Glu has a significant role in cognitive functioning and Glu signalling in brain contributes in synaptic maintenance and plasticity facilitating cognitive function^[@CR2],[@CR25]^ and learning^[@CR1],[@CR26]^. Reports showed that free L-Glu in brain is required for neuronal differentiation, migration and survival in developing brain by facilitating calcium transport contributing to memory enhancement via use-dependent alterations in synaptic efficacy that is involved in the formation and function of cytoskeleton^[@CR42]^. But studies regarding the use of Glu as an adjunctive memory-enhancing agent^[@CR33]^ lacks supporting experimental evidences. ",
"Present findings showed that chronic supplementation of free Glu at adequate amount enhances memory performance leading to improved spatial, recognition and associative memory processes. ",
"These findings are in agreement with the recent study which observed that umami taste in GI is responsible for stimulation of cortical and sub-cortical brain areas that are linked to working memory^[@CR40]^. Moreover, studies showed that the effect of Glu depends upon its dosage. ",
"At low Glu levels intensity of Glu receptor is not high enough to cause excitotoxicity but indeed sufficient for memory enhancement^[@CR33]^.\n\nOxidative stress, a state representing enhancement in levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) that either act as free radicals themselves or breakdown to form free radicals^[@CR43],[@CR44]^. Oxidative stress generation is attributed to disrupted balance between ROS generation and antioxidant scavenging activity^[@CR45],[@CR46]^. ROS, the products of normal cellular metabolism attack PUFAs causing peroxidation of lipids (LPO) and generate MDA which is an important and sensitive marker of peroxidative damage^[@CR47]^. This damage is overcome by the action of SOD that converts reactive superoxide anions to hydrogen peroxide which then by the action of CAT and GPx converts into water and molecular oxygen^[@CR48]^. Along with these redox enzymes, certain endogenous antioxidants primarily GSH and proteins also provide defence against ROS via maintaining redox homoeostasis^[@CR48]^. Studies have reported that ingested glutamate is transported to enterocytes via specific Na-dependent transporters and major amount (75--80%) is metabolized in the intestine by transamination, some amount (5--10%) enters into blood circulation, while 10--15% is converted to Glutamine and other bioactive molecules of sensory and signaling pathways^[@CR49],[@CR50]^. Along with this free glutamate is also reported to have an important role in protein stability as it provides a negative charge^[@CR50]^. Previously it has been observed that Glu addition to culture medium leads to enhanced cellular proliferation and membrane integrity and protects against oxidative stress^[@CR5]^. A recent report also validated that Glu has ROS scavenging ability, so it is protective against oxidative stress^[@CR16]^. Present findings also support this notion as we found reduced levels of MDA, the by-product of LPO in the brain of Glu-supplemented rats showing that it is protective against oxidative stress. ",
"Along with reduction in LPO, the GSH and total protein levels as well as antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT and GPx) activities also increased following chronic Glu supplementation. ",
"Previous researchers reported that the relationship between Glu and ROS is very complex^[@CR35],[@CR46]^ as some have reported Glu to be beneficial in ameliorating oxidative stress while others reported it as a neurotoxic agent. ",
"However, current findings are in agreement with the reports that stated beneficial impact of [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu supplementation in ameliorating hypoxia-induced oxidative stress via reducing MDA levels and enhancing GSH levels in rats^[@CR17]^, while in pigs it occurs via enhancing SOD levels and GSH content and inhibiting lipid peroxidation and MDA generation^[@CR15]^. However, other reports showed that [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu supplementation either had no effect on SOD and CAT levels^[@CR1]^ or failed to alleviate H~2~O~2~-induced oxidative stress^[@CR46]^ producing oxidative damage^[@CR35]^. It had little effect on increasing SOD and GPx concentration and decreasing MDA content in boars^[@CR46],[@CR51]^. The antioxidant function of Glu as observed in current study might be due to the fact that it is the major substrate for GSH synthesis compared to cysteine and glycine^[@CR15],[@CR52],[@CR53]^. GSH homoeostasis is considered to be essential for cellular defence against oxidative stress^[@CR15],[@CR52]^ as it regulates redox state of cell and is involved in detoxification process in all cell types^[@CR5],[@CR54]^. It can be depicted from previous reports that reduction in oxidative stress along with improved neurotransmission might be responsible for enhancement in cognitive retention capacity of animals^[@CR43]^. Hence, the improvement in memory and retention capacity observed in present study might be attributed to the improved oxidative status of the brain following Glu administration in rats.",
"\n\nCholinergic neurons play a key role in memory and attention^[@CR32],[@CR55]^ and the neurotransmitter present in these neurons is acetylcholine (ACh). ",
"Evidence showed that both Glu and ACh play important role in memory^[@CR56]^ as interactions between these neurotransmitters may be important for memory formation^[@CR57]^. In particular, ACh might be involved in facilitating Glu activity via coordination of acquisition and recall states in cortex and hippocampus^[@CR57]^. Intra-hippocampal infusion of receptor agonist of ACh and Glu also reported to improve retention while infusion of antagonists impaired retention^[@CR58]^. The action of ACh is terminated upon its hydrolysis by the enzyme AChE thus reducing the availability of ACh in synapse and producing memory deficits^[@CR59]^. In current study we found that supplementation of free Glu reduces the activity of AChE and enhances the ACh content in brain which might be responsible for improved cognitive performance. ",
"Further, we also determined the effect of Glu supplementation on monoaminergic neurotransmission in brain and found that Glu supplementation enhances concentration of NA, DA and 5-HT via affecting their metabolism in brain. ",
"It has been seen that HVA/DA (Fig.",
" [6](#Fig6){ref-type=\"fig\"}d) and 5HIAA/5HT ratio (Fig.",
" [6](#Fig6){ref-type=\"fig\"}e) is reduced following chronic Glu supplementation showing that turnover of DA and 5HT is reduced and their greater amount is available in synapse for performing their action which might be responsible for improved locomotor and cognitive function. ",
"Previous reports from our laboratory have shown that increased levels of monoamines (noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin) paralleled the improvement in cognition and memory function^[@CR32],[@CR60]^. Moreover, both Glu and GABA levels were increased following chronic Glu supplementation that may also be responsible for memory improvement in the present study. ",
"These findings contradict the previous studies reporting that Glu behaved as a neurotoxic agent impairing cognitive performance^[@CR34]^, increasing oxidative stress^[@CR35]^, damaging neuronal cells and producing excitotoxic lesions^[@CR36]^ ultimately leading to neurodegenerative disorders^[@CR34],[@CR36]^. However, later on researchers found free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu as a beneficial agent^[@CR3],[@CR10]--[@CR12],[@CR18],[@CR37]--[@CR39]^. Although Glu is found abundantly in foods^[@CR18]^, but a brief review of all the reports regarding beneficial effect of free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu shows that these beneficial effects are only addressed in periphery while effects on CNS are limited. ",
"Moreover, a recent report showed that umami taste (of Glu) activates para-hippocampal gyrus, an important memory retrieval area, that involves the modulation of working memory processing and contributes to efficient learning^[@CR40]^.\n\nThus, it can be concluded that chronic supplementation of free Glu effects the behaviour and brain functioning of animals via inducing changes in the oxidative and neurochemical systems in brain (see Fig.",
" [7](#Fig7){ref-type=\"fig\"}). ",
"In addition to previously reported beneficial effects on periphery, the use of free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu and its beneficial effects in enhancing neurobiological function highlight the novelty of this work. ",
"These beneficial effects may be attributed to the improvement in redox homoeostasis and neurotransmission in brain. ",
"The findings therefore suggest future supplementation of free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu as a useful therapeutic strategy to combat neurological disorders. ",
"However, further targeted studies are needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms behind the efficacy of free [l]{.smallcaps}-Glu.",

"This invention relates generally to the field of land vehicles, and more particularly to an occupant-propelled threewheeled scooter or skate-type vehicle. ",

"\nA cambering vehicle typically includes a single front wheel mounted at the lower end of a rearwardly inclined pivotable fork controlled by handlebars, and two rear wheels at the ends of struts extending rearward from the steering head. ",
"Footpads are provided along the struts. ",
"In most cases, the struts may pivot up and down independently, and the rear wheels are mounted upon axles that are fixed with respect to the struts.",
"\nIn the U.S. Pat. ",
"No. ",
"4,540,192 (Shelton), in contrast to the cambering vehicles, the struts cannot move vertically with respect to the fork or vertically with respect to each other; instead, the rear wheels have caster mountings which may pivot in relation to the struts, about respective vertical axes. ",
"My vehicle is more like that of Shelton in these respects; however, Shelton's vehicle is also characterized by the fact that its footboards are mounted for independent lateral movement, because it is intended to be propelled by moving the boards alternately together and apart, rather than in unison from side to side. ",
"The relative difficulty of riding a device with independent footboards can readily be imagined.",
"\nThus, the prior Vehicles have had to provide footpad struts that were independently swingable, either vertically, in order to obtain the cambering of the front wheel necessary for propulsion, or horizontally. ",
"The result of either construction is an inherently unstable structure unsuitable for use by many people.",
"\nShelton's device included rear casters having vertical kingpins, and return springs Were provided to encourage the wheels to return to the straight-ahead position. ",
"In this respect, my vehicle represents a significant departure from Shelton and from the other prior devices. ",
"I have found that one may obtain easier propulsion, and simpler construction, by providing the rear wheels of a vehicle of this type with caster mountings having pivot axes that are inclined forwardly with respect to the vertical, in the direction of motion. ",
"With this arrangement, the casters are biased by the weight of the vehicle and operator, to the forward position; return springs or the like are not required. ",
"In addition, the footboards of my vehicle are rigidly interconnected, both laterally and vertically, to provide a stable platform for the operator, whose rhythmic side-to-side motion produces a forward thrust at the casters that propels the vehicle forward."

"More particularly, it relates to improvement of an active material of a positive electrode for the purpose of providing a high-voltage lithium secondary battery exhibiting good charge-discharge cycle performance.",
"\nAs positive electrode materials (positive electrode active materials) for lithium secondary batteries, LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 are conventionally well known, but these positive electrode materials are expensive and hence disadvantageous in material cost.",
"\nTherefore, lithium-containing manganese oxides such as a lithium-containing manganese oxide having a spinel structure (LiMn2O4) and an orthorhombic lithium-containing manganese oxide (LiMnO2) have been proposed as the positive electrode active material. ",
"Such a lithium-containing manganese oxide is one of promising materials for a positive electrode of a lithium secondary battery because manganese, the raw material, is an abundant resource and hence inexpensive.",

"This lithium-containing manganese oxide is obtained by substituting another transition metal M, such as nickel and chromium, for part of manganese of a lithium-containing manganese oxide having a spinel structure.",
"\nThis lithium-containing manganese oxide, however, was found to have a problem of poor charge-discharge cycle performance because its crystal structure is partially changed through repeated charge and discharge.",
"\nThe present invention was devised in view of these conventional problems, and the object is providing a high-voltage lithium secondary battery exhibiting good charge-discharge cycle performance. ",
"This object is achieved by utilizing a specific lithium-containing manganese oxide as an active material of a positive electrode as described in detail below.",
"\nIn order to achieve the aforementioned object, the lithium secondary battery of this invention (present battery) comprises a positive electrode using, as an active material, a lithium-containing manganese composite oxide with a spinel structure having a composition, during charge and discharge, represented by a formula, LixMn2-y-zNiyMzO4, wherein M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ti, V, Mg, Zn, Ga, Nb, Mo and Cu; 0.02xe2x89xa6xxe2x89xa61.10 (whereas x changes in accordance with occlusion and discharge of lithium ions during charge and discharge); 0.25xe2x89xa6yxe2x89xa60.60; and 0 less than zxe2x89xa60.10. ",
"Specifically, the positive electrode active material of the present battery is a lithium-containing composite oxide in which Ni and a specific element M such as Fe are substituted for part of Mn. ",
"Since Ni is thus substituted for part of Mn, the positive electrode active material attains a stable crystal structure even at a high potential of 4.5 V or more. ",
"Also, since the specific element M such as Fe is substituted for part of Mn, the ordering energy can be lowered, resulting in reducing strain of the crystal structure caused during repeated charge and discharge. ",
"Accordingly, the present battery can exhibit good charge-discharge cycle performance."

"Mykola Skrypnyk\n\nMykola Oleksiyovych Skrypnyk (, also known in Russian as Nikolai Alekseevich Skripnik, 25 January [O.S. 13 January], 1872 – 7 July 1933) was a Ukrainian Communist leader who was a proponent of the Ukrainian Republic's independence, and led the cultural Ukrainization effort in Soviet Ukraine. ",
"When the policy was reversed and he was removed from his position, he committed suicide rather than be forced to recant his policies in a show trial. ",
"He also was the Head of the Ukrainian People's Commissariat, the post of the today's Prime-Minister.",
"\n\nUkrainian independentist \nSkrypnyk was born in the village Yasynuvata of Bakhmut uyezd, Yekaterinoslav Governorate, Russian Empire in family of a railway serviceman. ",
"At first he studied at the Barvinkove elementary school, then realschules of the cities Izium and Kursk. ",
"While studying at Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology, he was arrested on political charges in 1901, prompting him to become a full-time revolutionary. ",
"Originally member of the Saint Petersburg Hromada society, Skrypnyk left it and joined the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. ",
"Skrypnyk was eventually excluded from the Institute. ",
"He was arrested fifteen times, exiled seven times, and at one point he was sentenced to death. ",
"In 1913 Skrypnyk was an editor of the Bolshevik's legal magazine Issues of Insurance and in 1914 was a member of the editorial collegiate of the Pravda newspaper.",
"\n\nAfter the February Revolution Skrypnyk arrived from one of his exiles to Morshansk (Tambov Governorate) to Petrograd where he was elected as a secretary of the Central Council of Factories Committees. ",
"During the October Revolution Skrypnyk was a member of the MilRevKom of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies.",
"\n\nIn December 1917, Skrypnyk was elected in absentia to the first Bolshevik government of Ukraine in Kharkiv (Respublika Rad Ukrayiny), and in March 1918 Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin appointed him its head. ",
"He replaced at that assignment Yevgenia Bogdan (Gotlieb) Bosch, daughter of a German immigrant. ",
"Skrypnyk was a leader in the so-called Kiev faction of the Ukrainian Bolsheviks, the independentists, sensitive to the issue of nationality, and promoting a separate Ukrainian Bolshevik party, while members of the predominantly Russian Katerynoslav faction preferred joining the All-Russian Communist Party in Moscow, according to Lenin's internationalist doctrine. ",
"The Kiev faction won a compromise at a conference in Taganrog, Soviet Russia in April 1918, when the Bolshevik government was dissolved and the delegates voted to form an independent Communist Party (Bolshevik) of Ukraine, CP(b)U. But in July, a Moscow congress of Ukrainian Bolsheviks rescinded the resolution, and the Ukrainian party was declared a part of the Russian Communist Party.",
"Skrypnyk worked for the Cheka secret police during the winter of 1918–19, then returned to Ukraine as People's Commissar of Worker-Peasant Inspection (1920–21), and Internal Affairs (1921–22).",
"\n\nDuring debates leading up to the formation of the Soviet Union in late 1922, Skrypnyk was a proponent of independent national republics, and denounced the proposal of the new General Secretary, Joseph Stalin, to absorb them into a single Russian SFSR state as thinly-disguised Russian chauvinism. ",
"Lenin temporarily swayed the decision in favour of the republics, but after his death, the Soviet Union's constitution was finalized in January 1924 with very little political autonomy for the republics. ",
"Having lost this battle, Skrypnyk and other autonomists would turn their attention towards culture.",
"\n\nSkrypnyk was Commissar of Justice between 1922 and 1927.",
"\n\nUkrainization \nSkrypnyk was appointed head of the Ukrainian Commissariat of Education in 1927.",
"\n\nHe convinced the Central Committee of the CP(b)U, to introduce the policy of Ukrainization, encouraging Ukrainian culture and literature. ",
" He worked for this cause with almost obsessive zeal, and despite a lack of teachers and textbooks and in the face of bureaucratic resistance, achieved tremendous results during 1927–29. ",
" Ukrainian language was institutionalized in the schools and society, and literacy rates reached a very high level. ",
" As Soviet industrialization and collectivization drove the population from the countryside to urban centres, Ukrainian started to change from a peasants' tongue and the romantic obsession of a small intelligentsia, into a primary language of a modernizing society.",
"\n\nSkrypnyk convened an international Orthographic Conference in Kharkiv in 1927, hosting delegates from Soviet and western Ukraine (former territories of Austro-Hungarian Galicia, then part of the Second Polish Republic). ",
" The conference settled on a compromise between Soviet and Galician orthographies, and published the first standardized Ukrainian alphabet accepted in all of Ukraine. ",
" The Kharkiv orthography, or Skrypnykivka, was officially adopted in 1928.",
"\n\nAlthough he was a supporter of an autonomous Ukrainian republic and the driving force behind Ukrainization, Skrypnyk's motivation was what he saw as the best way to achieve communism in Ukraine, and he remained politically opposed to Ukrainian nationalism. ",
" He gave public testimony against \"nationalist deviations\" such as writer Mykola Khvylovy's literary independence movement, political anticentralism represented by former Borotbist Oleksandr Shumsky, and Mykhailo Volobuev's criticism of Soviet economic policies which made Ukraine dependent on Russia.",
"\n\nFrom February to July 1933 Skrypnyk headed the Ukrainian State Planning Commission, became a member of the Politburo of the CP(b)U and served on the Executive Committee organizing the Communist International, as well as leading the CP(b)U's delegation to the Comintern.",
"\n\nPurged \n\nIn January 1933, Stalin sent Pavel Postyshev to Ukraine, with free rein to centralize the power of Moscow. ",
"Postyshev, with the help of thousands of officials brought from Russia, oversaw the violent reversal of Ukrainization, enforced collectivization of agriculture, and conducted a purge of the CP(b)U, anticipating the wider Soviet Great Purge which was to follow in 1937.",
"\n\nSkrypnyk was removed as head of Education. ",
"In June, he and his \"nefarious\" policies were publicly discredited, and his followers condemned as \"wrecking, counterrevolutionary nationalist elements\". ",
" Rather than recant, on 7 July he shot himself at his desk at his apartment in Derzhprom at Dzerzhynsky Square (Dzerzhynsky Municipal Raion of Kharkiv city).",
"\n\nDuring the remainder of the 1930s, Skrypnyk's \"forced Ukrainization\" was reversed.",
"\n\nHe was rehabilitated in 1962.",

"Cool Album says it all! ",
"The album is just that, cool, fun and refreshing. ",
"The album is different then the Trap we have grown to love from Ookay, but by no means does the album disappoint as we continue to see him experiment with new sounds.",
"\n\nImage from DiscoDonniePresents\n\nThe album definitely brings a happy pop sound and will certainly have people dancing and feeling good as the Summer festival season fastly approaches. “",
"Cool” is one of our favorite tracks off the album, bringing in some happy trap vibes, and even some 90’s nostalgia. ",
"This track is great from beginning to end, and WILL be a Summer anthem in 2018.",
"\n\n“Feel Alright” is another one of many, that we think people will be dancing to this summer, with vocals from Ookay himself, and gives us again that 90s pop rock sound, mixed with the electronic sounds of today. ",
"This Track is not one to sleep on. ",
"It’s refreshing, and we can picture ourselves driving with the windows down on the way to a festival going crazy and “feeling alright” as we do!",
"\n\nImage From Substreammagazine.com\n\nNow, don’t let us calling the happy, pop, or fun make you think this album doesn’t go hard, because that would be misguiding. ",
"The baseline’s for just about song on the album is golden. ",
"The drops don’t disappoint either especially on songs like “Love or Lost” and “Stay Forever”. ",
"Both of these tracks are absolute fire, and we are willing to bet money they you’ll be hearing them all season long!",
"\n\nAnother personal favorite of ours is “Time Warp” it features vocals from Sara Skinner and starts off with a beautiful melodic introduction. ",
"The pairing really feed off each other for this beautiful track. ",
"The best part of the track has to be the drums played during the drop though.",
"\n\nOokay\n\nWow! ",
"Cool Album\n\nOokay\n\nOokay has really built a name for himself since 2016, and we believe this album will keep him around for years to come. ",
"The album from beginning to end is a bouncy, full of life, and really showcases Ookay’s diversity. ",

"High incidence of coding gene mutations in mitochondrial DNA in esophageal cancer.",
"\nThe aim of the present study was to detect mutations in the coding genes of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in three esophageal cancer cell lines and in tumor tissues obtained from 30 patients with esophageal cancer, to investigate the relationship between protein‑ and RNA‑coding gene mutations and esophageal cancer. ",
"mtDNA was extracted and the coding genes were sequenced and analyzed by comparing the sequencing results with the complete mitochondrial genome of Homo sapiens. ",
"The results revealed 39 mutations in the three esophageal cancer cell lines; the genes with the highest mutation frequencies included mitochondrially encoded cytochrome B (MT‑CYTB), NADH dehydrogenase 5 (MT‑ND5) and MT‑ND4 gene. ",
"A total of 216 mutations were identified in the 30 esophageal cancer tissues, including 182 protein‑coding mutations, of which MT‑CYTB and MT‑ND5 genes exhibited higher mutation frequencies. ",
"The results of the present study indicated that mutations in the coding genes of mtDNA in esophageal cancer cells may be related to the occurrence of esophageal cancer."

"\nBut, this answer states the following:\n\nAs of Feb 2017 Outlook (https://outlook.live.com/) scans emails\n arriving in your inbox and it sends all found URLs to Bing, to be\n indexed by Bing crawler.",
"\nThis effectively makes all one-time use links like\n login/pass-reset/etc useless.",

"\n\nIf this is the case, any URL in an e-mail meant to confirm an action, e.g. confirming a login, subscription, or unsubscription, can end up searchable in a search engine, if that's whats meant by indexed in the quote above. ",

"Not even a dedicated confirmation page where the user confirms the desired action truly mitigates this.",
"\nScenario #1\nIf I email the user a login link with a one-time token in the URL, that URL will end up in Bing. ",
"This token will have a short lifetime, lets say 5 minutes, so I doubt anyone will manage to search on Bing and find the URL before the user clicks it or it expires.",
"\nScenario #2\nThe user gets an e-mail with a link to confirm a subscription. ",
"This link is perhaps valid for 24 hours. ",
"This might(?) ",

"\nAssume all the one-time confirmation links land on a confirmation page where the user confirms the desired action.",
"\nIs it truly the issue that URLs in e-mails are indexed by search engines, at least Bing? ",
"And will they actually end up publicly searchable? ",
"If not, what is meant by indexed in the quote above?",
"\nI'll add for the sake of completion that I don't think I've had much of a problem with this in my own use of the web, so my gut feeling is that this is unlikely the case.",

"\n\nI can't definitely say if they are being indexed or not, only Bing could answer this question, but they are surely being visited, at least with a simple GET request. ",
"I just tested this sending myself a link to a page on my website that logs the requests that are made against it, and indeed I'm seeing a GET coming from 207.46.13.181 (reverse DNS says msnbot-207-46-13-181.search.msn.com), which suggests that an automated program from search.msn.com is crawling the link. ",

"\n\nAnd will they actually end up publicly searchable? ",
"If not, what is meant by \"indexed\" in the quote above?",
"\n\nWell, again, impossible to say unless you work for Bing. ",
"In any case, \"indexing\" means exactly what you think it does: parsing the content of a page to potentially include it in search results.",
"\n\nThe real question here is: does this somehow represent a security problem or will it compromise my website's functionality?",
"\nIt surely has the potential to: if your confirmation/reset/subscription/whatever process only relies on a single GET request with the appropriate GET parameter, then you should definitely revisit the strategy, as it obviously allows anyone to perform the action (even maliciously for example enumerating possible IDs for your GET parameters).",
"\nIf the link you are trying to send contains sensible information or can be used to alter important data for an user of your website, then you should at least put it behind a login page only giving access to the interested user. ",
"This way, anyone who wants to access it (including search engines) will be redirected to a login page if not already logged in.",
"\nIf the link you are trying to send is just some kind of harmless confirmation link (e.g. subscribe/unsubscribe from a newsletter), then at least use a form inside the web page to do the actual confirmation through a POST request (possibly also using a CSRF token), otherwise you will unequivocally end up with false positives.",

"Introduction {#sec1-pharmaceutics-12-00452}\n===============\n\nIn continuous \"from powder to tablet\" pharmaceutical wet granulation lines, an intermediate drying step is needed to ensure appropriate granule moisture \\[[@B1-pharmaceutics-12-00452],[@B2-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\]. ",
"The granule moisture content (further denoted by 'loss on drying' or LOD) after the drying step is typically considered an intermediate critical quality attribute of the final drug product \\[[@B3-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\]. ",
"Depending on the type of dryer and its operating mode, the variability of material attributes and process disturbances can lead to varying LOD after drying. ",
"Such variations can be mitigated by the implementation of feedback control \\[[@B4-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\]. ",
"However, the realization of feedback control for LOD requires the knowledge of the actual LOD value, which is not easily accessible via real-time measurements.",
"\n\nIn common semi-continuous dryers \\[[@B1-pharmaceutics-12-00452],[@B2-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\], multiple separated cells are sequentially filled and used for drying the granules in each cell, such systems have, for example, been implemented by GEA, Bohle or Glatt. ",
"In order to measure the LOD in the individual cells, multiple sensors, such as near infrared (NIR) probes or microwave resonance technology (MRT) sensors \\[[@B5-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\], would be needed. ",
"These types of sensors are typically expensive, and therefore, their installation in all dryer cells is not feasible. ",
"However, in most systems, standard process sensors capturing the air and material temperatures, the air volume flow and pressure, and the air humidity are implemented. ",
"A recent study has used this information to estimate the granule LOD from energy and mass balances \\[[@B3-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\]. ",
"Although a technique is introduced to approximately model dynamic changes of the dryer parameters, e.g., dryer rotation speed or inlet material mass flow, a more rigorous mechanistic modeling approach would be needed to predict the impact of these dynamic parameter changes accurately. ",
"The potential of applying a process model for optimizing the startup procedure of pharmaceutical drying units is demonstrated in \\[[@B6-pharmaceutics-12-00452],[@B7-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\]. ",
"The process model used in these studies is not based on first principles but on statistically obtained factor--response relationships. ",
"This approach offers the advantage of using simple models but has the drawback of needing an extensive experimental effort to obtain the model parameters.",
"\n\nModels that are based on a mechanistic understanding of the process can reduce this experimental effort. ",
"Therefore, our study aimed at providing a process model, which is based on a mechanistic understanding of the drying process. ",
"Nevertheless, any underlying process model (PM) should be kept as simple as possible for two reasons: First, the computational effort for performing simulations should be kept low, allowing the execution of the simulation in parallel with the real process, as required for model-based control strategies. ",
"A real-time execution of the PM is then considered a soft sensor for predicting LOD. ",
"Specifically, measured process inputs are the input for the PM, which computes estimates of the LOD. ",
"Second, the simple structure of the model should allow the development of observer concepts \\[[@B8-pharmaceutics-12-00452],[@B9-pharmaceutics-12-00452]\\] in the future. ",
"Such concepts use the measured system inputs and system outputs, as well as a mathematical model of the system to compute an estimate of non-measured system states.",
"\n\nThe present work outlines the development of such a PM, which is then used as a straightforward soft sensor. ",
"The proposed soft sensor uses available process data of an industrial GEA ConsiGma^TM^-25 powder-to-tablet wet granulation line in order to predict the LOD of the granules in the dryer.",
"\n\nThe next section introduces the plant setup, the available process data acquisition, and details on the proposed soft sensor approach and the parametrization. ",
"Validation results of the soft sensor approach are provided in [Section 3](#sec3-pharmaceutics-12-00452){ref-type=\"sec\"}. [",

"A pre-blend and a granulation liquid are fed into a twin-screw wet granulator and the produced wet granules are then transported to the fluid bed dryer by a pneumatic transport system.",
"\n\nThe dryer used in the ConsiGma^TM^-25 line (GEA Pharma Systems, Wommelgem, Belgium) consists of 6 cells, which are sequentially filled with wet granules (stage 1). ",
"An air handling unit (AHU) provides a defined air volume flow at a controlled temperature to the dryer and the granules are dried (stage 2). ",
"After the drying process in one cell is finished, the respective cell is emptied pneumatically (stage 3). ",
"Depending on the required drying time, a certain number of cells is filled with material at a time.",
"\n\nDuring stage 1, a constant air mass flow from the granulator to the dryer, ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{p}$, is used to transport the granules into the dryer. ",
"Every 180 s, the outlet of this transport line is switched from one cell to the next cell. ",
"All air masses and air mass flow rates refer to dry air. ",
"The mass / mass flow rate of humid air is obtained by multiplication with $\\left( {1 + x_{a}} \\right)$, where $x_{a}$ is the corresponding water content in $kg$ of water per $kg$ of dry air. ",
"The air temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air are denoted by $T_{a}^{a}$ and $\\varphi_{a}^{a}$, respectively. ",
"Subscripts are used for indicating the material, e.g., air, superscripts denote the location, e.g., ambient. ",
"A \"*t*\" in the superscript refers to the total mass flow, in contrast to individual mass flows of specific cells. ",
"Air pressure is denoted by $p$. The dry mass of granules in the dryer is denoted by $m_{g}$, the water mass in the granules is given by $m_{w}$. The drying---taking place during stage 2---is accomplished by means of inlet air coming from the air handling unit (total inlet air mass flow ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{i,t}$, inlet air temperature $T_{a}^{i}$, and inlet air humidity $\\varphi_{a}^{i}$). ",
"The air properties at the outlet of the dryer are denoted by superscript \"$o$\". ",
"During emptying in stage 3, which takes 30 s, an intermittent air flow (denoted ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{f})$ is injected into the respective filter to clean the filter from dust via blow-back. ",
"This intermittent air flow is active for 10 s in a pulse-wise fashion during the emptying phase. ",
"The emptying itself is achieved by a pneumatic transport system. ",
"During the emptying phase, part of the inlet air mass flow ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{i,t}$ and part of the filter blow-back air mass flow ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{f}$ exits the dryer as emptying air mass flow ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{e}$. In standard operation mode, the drying time of all cells is fixed at a constant time interval. ",
"Changes in the inlet material properties and process parameters, such as the initial LOD ($w_{p}$) of the pre-blend material, liquid to solid ratio at the granulation unit, granule mass flow rate (composed of dry granule mass flow ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{g}^{i}$ and mass flow of water contained in the granules ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{w}^{i}$), dryer inlet air temperature $T_{a}^{i}$ and humidity $\\varphi_{a}^{i}$, and dryer inlet air mass flow ${\\overset{˙}{m}}_{a}^{i,t}$, are influencing the LOD $(w_{g}$) of the granules.",
"\n\nCell number 5 of the dryer is equipped with a Lighthouse Probe^TM^ by GEA (LHP) that enables the use of an NIR spectrometer (NDC FP710e, NDC Infrared Engineering, Maldon, Essex, United Kingdom). ",
"The measurement signal is indicating the LOD of the granules in cell 5. ",
"In all of the six cells, a PT100 temperature sensor (JUMO PT 100---type 902044, JUMO GmbH & Co. KG, Fulda, Germany) is installed, which captures the material/air temperature close to the bottom of the dryer. ",

"Real Time Adaptive Behavior:\nThere is a plethora of Internet and GPS aware mobile devices used to estimate travel routes and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). ",
"The objective of several embodiments of this invention is to leverage that real-time information to dynamically estimate, to a high level of accuracy, the arrival time of a customer at a destination, such as a store. ",
"In one embodiment, the store has been notified of arrival a priori and advance purchase for product/service made. ",
"On arrival, said product/service is delivered to customer. ",
"The tedium of waiting in line, paying and other time wasting chores is thus avoided.",
"\nManaging Customer Satisfaction:\nCustomer Satisfaction (CS) is monitored and managed by a process control model that attempts just in time delivery e.g. the product is fresh (“Quality”) and the average wait time is low (“Agility”). ",
"It does so by estimating (predicting) customer arrival time and current store performance. ",
"These two estimates drive the alignment between demand and supply through a process of autonomous negotiations between demand expectations and supply constraints. ",
"The alignments are driven by mutual benefit to both parties at multiple levels of the value chain.",
"\nThe alignment methods taught in this invention are applicable to multiple application domains including: scheduling meeting times for people on the go, providing timed promotions to mobile prospects, based on their ETA near the store, optimizing delivery schedules for packages, shifting schedules to deal with resource constraints, etc.",
"\nScalable Cloud centric Framework\nThe invention teaches methods salient to providing a comprehensive, scalable, generic yet customizable cloud centric framework, to address proactive routing, dispatching, prioritized scheduling of orders placed in advance, or expected to be placed soon, to a supplier, employing but not limited to: Software on GPS equipped mobile device preferably with internet access, used to place orders to the system, provide Arrival estimates (ETA) for system self correction. ",
" A generic, scalable, cloud centric scheduler, database and software, which communicates with multiple mobile devices and multiple store locations for multiple service providers. ",
" A customizable prioritized schedule display and input device (e.g. touch screen), at supplier location, which communicates with scheduler and is used to monitor and maintain Customer Satisfaction, based on current store performance and inferred trends. ",
" A generic and extensible framework to support modeling and simulation of viable scheduling alternatives. ",
"The methods taught are especially relevant to dealing with bursts/spikes in customer demand and/or where store resources are under provisioned. ",
" \nDynamic Process Control Model\nThe Process controller and Scheduler relays notifications from store to mobile device, suggests scheduling task start time or just in time order pick up, based on a process control model of the store, its operations, current and historical performance. ",
"It requests mobile device updates for estimating accurate arrival times. ",
"Frequency distributions of salient events at the store, affecting overall Customer Satisfaction are collected, and analyzed. ",
"The entire system is framed as a process control model and salient parameters periodically adjusted to ensure stable performance. ",
"Example application indicates web page, and/or mobile app interface which, referring to FIG. ",
"1, performs the following functions: 1. ",
"Enables user to select a service provider from a library of categories (see dialog box 160) 2. ",
"Choose a preferred service provider from that category listing 3. ",
"Select a store location 4. ",
"Create/Edit an order, 130, from a store supplied menu dialog (not shown) 5. ",
"Place the order (for pick up) by one click 120 6. ",
"Customer payment is seamlessly integrated. ",
" 7. ",
"Saving the order specifics (Store location, item, etc) with a user friendly name, see 160 8. ",
"Review order history, 140, including past orders, time of arrival, pick up time, store load characteristics, if provided. ",
" 9. ",
"Review account settings, 150 which include editable identification information, either photo or security questions, 10. ",
"Specify preferred alternate store locations, if default selection is not able to provide timely delivery. ",
"This would be an editable entry under account settings, 150 10. ",
"Receive Text based messages, if requested, on selected store backlog, either provided by the store or inferred based on current increases/decreases in historical backlog for this time period, day of the week etc, under account settings. ",
" 11. ",
"Change arrival time, by Editing Order, 130. ",
" 12. ",
"On arrival, the customer picks up the coffee. ",
"Customer Satisfaction feedback is obtained, either from the store or from the customer phone regarding whether the coffee was delivered on time and expected quality. ",
"A representative dialog box is shown 170.",
"\nWhen the order is placed, the system scheduler receives request and updates ETA and store displays. ",
"After placing order, proactive scheduler ensures that orders are completed, preferably just in time for pick up. ",
"Work load variance, changes to estimate time of arrival (ETA) etc is monitored. ",
"The data is analyzed to dynamically and proactively change priorities to avoid: 1. ",
"Customer arrives “early” due to incorrect ETA and has to wait for delivery 2. ",
"Customer arrives per ETA computed, but delivery delayed: task execution time (TET) is in variance with current work load 3. ",
"The converse of items 1, 2: the coffee is cold; task started too soon, incorrect ETA and/or TET time estimates.",
"\nIntended benefits include: Reducing time wasted waiting in queues, repeating custom preferences each time an order is placed (e.g. soymilk, no sugar) Seamless payment activated when order is placed: time to pay eliminated. ",
" Visibility into store backlog, enabling load balancing at the store. ",
" Modeling what-if scenarios to identify bottlenecks, explore alternative delivery options Inter store collaboration: when stores cannot deliver in time, rerouting to other less busy store locations, convenient to customer, thus maintaining Customer Satisfaction (measured by wait, in this case), despite hiccups in the delivery process. ",
" Intuitive online interfaces so Customer and Stores can monitor and adjust control parameters. ",
" Provide the ability to run simulations so experts (human and software) can tune the system. ",
" \nJust in time coffee delivery is chosen as the use case to teach methods broadly applicable to multiple application domains, Components of a “generic” system include: An aggregate reference signal generator. ",
"For example, GPS equipped mobile devices can provide Arrival estimates (ETA). ",
"This represents the reference signal in this example. ",
"Other reference signals include fuzzy data and external data feeds from other customers/stores etc. ",
" An aggregate control signal generator. ",
"This, in response to the reference signals, attempts to “close the loop” and align supply and demand change current behavior. ",
"Both quantitative and qualitative data sources are employed. ",
" An adaptive control system that closes the feedback loop, changing its strategies and/or sampling frequencies to minimize the control error (between reference and control systems). ",
"The control system must be agile. ",
"It may also be back drivable, as in Demand Shaping. ",
" A customizable Alignment Dashboard, which communicates with scheduler and is used to monitor and maintain both demand and supply performance indicators. ",
" A Hierarchical, distributed control system that monitors and tunes overall system behavior. ",
"All control systems within it are also designed to support extensibility and scalable performance. ",
" Alignment strategies to support dynamic alignments at multiple levels. ",
"The framework also supports simulation and machine learning in both forward and backward control directions. ",
" A collaborative community of such control systems to extend Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Demand Shaping and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functionality. ",
"The control systems are dynamic, distributed (e.g. cloud centric) scalable and autonomously proactive. ",

"Friday, October 21, 2011\n\nIndigenous and Afro-descendants grasp at common voice\n\nCarmen Herrera10/20/2011\n\nBoth groups face discrimination and threats to their lands.",
"\n\nFor the first time, leaders from indigenous and Afro-descendent peoples from throughout Central America met to form a common agenda. ",
"More than 70 leaders from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama met in Managua Sept. 27-28 for the First Meeting of Indigenous and Afro-Descendant Authorities: Collective Rights in the Context of Central American Integration.",
"\n\nTribal and community leaders, mayors and municipal authorities debated issues like land titles and demarcation, inclusion of women, native languages, at the meeting which was organized by the Nicaraguan Network for Democracy and Local Development and the Central American and Caribbean Conference for Decentralization and Local Development, or CONFEDELCCA.",
"\n\nTo better articulate their agenda with a common voice, participants formed the Permanent Council of Native Peoples and Afro-Descendents of Central America. “",
"The objective of this first meeting has been to start an articulation process to influence public policies, as well as the development and decentralization of the states,” said Carlos H. Guarquez Ajiquichí, of the Guatemalan Association of Indigenous Mayors and Authorities. ",
"Guarquez Ajiquichí also suggested teaming up with the Central American Integration System, or SICA, and the Central American Parliament to ensure that their goals reach the region’s heads of state. ",
"One “historical problem,” he said, “is the distribution of land, since in every country in the region large-scale landowners hold a disproportionate amount of territory.”",
"\n\n“This is where the problem with the distribution of wealth that benefits a few comes from, and that affects indigenous peoples above all, those who have lived in misery on tiny plots of land even though the land belongs to us,” he said. ",
"Women’s role Nicolasa Jiménez, Ngöbe-Bugle indigenous leader from Panama, said that one of the meeting’s objectives was to increase women’s politic participation in their own community groups and in society in general. “",
"Indigenous women are fighting for active integration and participation,” she said. “",
"We are fighting for more capacity building for women, because there are only a few of us who hold decision-making positions.” ",
"The International Labor Organization’s Convention 169 on indigenous peoples has been ratified by every Central American country except for El Salvador and Panama. ",
"While Convention 169 is seen by some international law experts as one of the most complete international indigenous rights law, local authorities have often ignored it.",
"\n\nFor example, in Guatemala, indigenous communities have been consulted on some projects that would affect them, but their votes are not considered binding. ",
"Afro-descendant groups in Honduras said that the alliances they made with indigenous leaders here have been fruitful, because they have the same problems: discrimination, invasion of their lands, a lack of respect and recognition for their language.",
"\n\nRené Castro, deputy mayor of an Honduran Garifuna municipality — an Afro-descendant group living mostly on the country’s northern coast — say Afro-descendants are making efforts for Convention 169 to also be applied to his community now that the country has ratified the agreement. “",
"We have representation in some state institutions,” aiming at this end, he said. ",
"Intercultural society But another participant was not so optimistic about the situation in Nicaragua. ",
"Mauricio Solís, of the Nicaraguan Network for Democracy and Local Development, said that “in practice” these groups’ rights are limited. “",
"Indigenous communities are not consulted; local governments interfere in indigenous community elections and there is little governmental funding designated for indigenous peoples,” he said. “",
"In Nicaragua’s case, we see that there is a lot of discourse about indigenous peoples, but in practice, there is a lot of politicizing, exclusion and marginalization.",
"\n\n” For years, Solís’ organization has promoted multiculturalism for the country, with a vision of having a citizenry that recognizes the diversity of the region’s population, like the indigenous and Afro-descendants, who have a political, economic, cultural and social agenda. ",
"His network, along with CONFEDELCCA, held the meeting to give indigenous and Afro-descendants authorities a place for reflection and debate over the situation facing their communities and to look for links with other national and international organizations and movements which work for their rights to be ensured.",
"\n\n“We have agreed to go through all the information collected during this meeting so it can be shared with our peoples,” said Solís. “",
"In the following months, we’ll work on a framework to help map out the next steps.” —",

"\n\nThrough out the years, the deadlift has been our ”national sport” here in Finland. ",
"World records has been broken since early 70´s. ",
"What makes Finns pull so much, what is their secret ?",
"\nI took a look and after collecting training information of many new and former greats, here is some background and information.",
"\n\n# 1 Genetics\n\nTo be able to lift a lot, you have to be talented athlete. ",
"Most of the guys had long arms and legs. ",
"You could see middleweights pulling over 200 kilos the first time they saw a power bar. ",
"But that's only a good start. ",
"The best deadlifters in the late 70`s and early 80´s had two things in common. ",
"Most of them had a background of hard labor, like lumberjacks, construction workers, farmers or something similar. ",
"They carried, lifted and dragged for their living. ",
"That laid a perfect background for deadlift training and very often ensured a hard grip too. ",
"The second thing was Olympic lifting background, they had pulled alot before their powerlifting career. ",
"Raimo Välineva held Scandinavian records in Olympic lifting and was able to clean 330 pounds with straight legs. ",
"He had World records of 688 in 148´s and 716 in 165´s in early 80`s. ",
"When weightlifting had the press it was more a pure strength sport as now when speed and technique more critical.",
"\n\nMany of the new lifters have some type of athletic background from other sports. ",
"Ismo Lappi, 338,5 kg deadlifter in 165´s, has thrown javelin over 75 yards and ran 100 meters in under 11 seconds in his teens. ",
"He is fast and explosive enough to deadlift big.",
"\n\n# 2 Squatting for the deadlift\n\nAll of the former record holders and many of today's too, squatted with a narrow stance. ",
"This had two advantages. ",
"First, it served as an excellent special exercise for deadlift. ",
"Many trained the squat three times a week. ",
"Twice back squatting and once front squatting. ",
"The other back squat could be a high bar session.",
"\nOther squat exercises were something like lunges, or step squats, using bar on back. ",
"These were done sometimes a box under front or back feet, varying how it hits glutes and hamstrings. ",
"A 8-12 inch box under back feet hits the upper part of glutes quite hard.",
"\n\nMany used different stances. ",
"The narrow stance high bar was the most common but many, like Taito Haara, Reijo Kiviranta and Hannu Saarelainen, squatted with 3-4 stances.",
"\nDuring the last years, the box squat has become very popular in Finland. ",
"Janne Toivanen put it in practice by hauling up 804 in `96 IPF World's in Austria. ",
"Many have followed. ",
"Ano Turtiainen started using the box and now pulls over 859 in every meet he enters. ",
"Ismo Lappi, the new WR holder in 165´s in IPF, does box squats as assistance. ",
"Veli Kumpuniemi stated that if would have known how to use a box in his prime he would have lifted a lot more. ",
"How much more? ",
"He tore his hamstring while trying 804 in the 181´s back in 1981. ",
"He hit 822 ( 373 kilos ) in a national before that weighing under 190 pounds. ",
"All his hamstrings could handle he hauled up. ",
"He never really recovered but wanted to send his compliments to Louie Simmons for this excellent exercise.",
"\n\n# 3 Deadlift variety\n\nMany still train the deadlift two times a week. ",
"In the early days, it was not rare to deadlift three times a week. ",
"Veli Kumpuniemi, the only man we call Mr Deadlift in Finland, trained deadlift sometimes four times a week. ",
"Here's some pulls to use:\n\nDeadlift standing on the block. ",
"Many used 2-6 inch block and pulled standing on it. ",
"That has been a pull used very often. ",
"Many did these for 3-5 reps using conventional style even if they pulled sumo in meets.",
"\n\nStraigth leg deadlifts. ",
"These were done off floor or using a block under feet. ",
"There were two styles. ",
"Some pulled with a bent over style, rounding the lower back. ",
"Some, like Janne Toivanen, Ismo Lappi and Ano Turtiainen, pulled in a romanian style with arched back and pushing glutes to rear. ",
"With a round back, most used only 40-50% for high reps like 10´s or so. ",
"For the romanian style, some go quite heavy. ",
"Janne Toivanen hauled up 4x661 from an 4 inch box and Ano Turtiainen has done 5x727 off floor.",
"\n\nOlympic pulls. ",
"These were done many times as a warm-up or speed work before the deadlifting. ",
"High pulls, raw cleans, raw snatches were the most common. ",
"The old school did some pulls with straight legs like Russians.",
"\n\nPulls with a snatch grip. ",
"This has two variations too. ",
"Some pulled the weight all the way up and some just up to past knees. ",
"These developed technique by forcing you to keep shoulders in line and it´s a good one correct technique.",
"\n\nPartials. ",
"Hannu Saarelainen did partials on knee level, just moving the bar from below to above the knee. ",
"The bar traveled 8-10 inches in the area where the leverages were the poorest. ",
"He did high reps with rather light weight. ",
"He tried to get speed too to overcome the sticking point as fast as possible. ",
"By concentrating on weakness enabled Hannu to pull 765 in 242´s with quite poor leverages for deadlift. ",
"Rack pulls and pulls where the bar is on blocks are common, although they do not benefit as many as you could imagine.",
"\n\nHack deadlifts. ",
"Many long armed lifters were able to pull with the bar behind their back. ",
"This form of deadlift developed the leg drive and helped to get the bar off floor.",
"\n\n# 4 Technique\n\nVeli Kumpuniemi stated that if his foot stance was half inch off, the bar stayed on floor. ",
"And Veli was ranked rather a power puller than a technique expert which he was too. ",
"The conventional deadlift was always mostly back work. ",
"But the sumo pullers were sort of split in two categories. ",
"People like Raimo Välineva and Hannu Malinen, the 1988 IPF World champion, used the hips alot. ",
"Raimo Välineva was the developer of the style maximized hip drive in sumo deadlift. ",
"Lifters with extreme tecnique had quite a difference between sumo and conventional deadlift. ",
"Ari Virtanen, the little brother of Jarmo had one of the best technique I have ever seen. ",
"Every weight he got off floor he finished too. ",
"Ari´s best conventional was around 570-580 and he pulled 677 with sumo in `91 World's. ",
"Pirjo Savola, the European Record holder in 123´s with 446 said she has a best conventional of 360-370 range.",
"\nSumo lifters with a strong back, like Veli Kumpuniemi, Janne Toivanen and Aarre Käpylä locked out their legs way before extending their torso. ",
"Aarre Käpylä, who pulled 10x661 via conventional too, got the most out of his hips by keeping his legs almost straight. ",
"Jarmo Virtanen, an eight time IPF World champ, used the technique.",
"\nPeople used to think that Jarmo Virtanen was just very talented and had good leverages. ",
"They couldn't be more wrong. ",
"He had many things on perfecting the technique. ",
"Once he demonstrated the difference between relaxed and flexed shoulders. ",
"By dropping shoulders and using sumo, the distance was 12 inches shorter than using conventional with flexed upper body. ",
"He stressed the importance of being relaxed while deadlifting .",
"\n\nYou should climb to tree from bottom. ",
"Most advised to learn to pull conventional first, then switch to sumo. ",
"Reijo Kiviranta, Kullervo Lampela and other conventional style greats stressed two key points. ",
"The is to push your knees over the bar in the start position. ",
"This brings the hips closer to bar and makes the leverages better. ",
"The other thing was to turn feet out. ",
"This helped the lockout and enabled specially the bigger lifters to use their hip muscles.",
"\n\n# 5 Basic strength and GPP\n\nLike mentioned in beginning, many early day deadlifters did physical labor which laid good background for training heavy and often. ",
"Olympic lifting was an aid too.",
"\nMany of todays lifters don´t do any other physical work than train with weights. ",
"So the GPP has to come from somewhere else. ",
"Janne Toivanen did an extra workout six times a week, early in the morning. ",
"He did abs, side work and sometimes lower back work together with some aerobic training and streching. ",
"His training program would kill most people, but he found a way to back it up. ",
"Ismo Lappi does the same type of workouts too. ",
"It keeps the bodyfat low and aids recovery.",
"\nAt the moment five or six our strongmen pull 800 pounds or more. ",
"They have long competitive season when their weight training is mostly for conditioning and recovery. ",
"Their training is one form of conjugate method. ",
"They carry, drag, lift stones and flip tires and cars using the same muscles that are important in deadlifting. ",
"Jukka Laine did 804 in September ´98 and had deadlifted twice during the summer. ",
"All he did was the event training and many meets. ",
"Jouko Aholas deadlift stayed in the same range with no deadlift training at all. ",
"He used a short cycle to peak and succeeded with 853 in meet. ",
"Janne Virtanen and Juha Räsänen both pull over 800 too, 837 is their best in training but either of them haven't attended in any meets so far.",
"\n\n# 6 Assistance work\n\nMost supplemented their training with wide variety of assistance exercises. ",
"Two key muscle groups were upper back and lats and the abs.",
"\nAs you noticed, I ranked Mr Deadlift, Veli Kumpuniemi as a strenght puller. ",
"Here's why. ",
"What do think about chins with up to 200 pounds for 5-6 reps, bent over rows using 400+ pounds or doing one arm rows with 185 pound dumbbell for 8-10 reps ? ",
"It was usual stuff for him and it was assistance work, not something he shot for.",
"\nWeighted chins are quite common still but the variety is wide. ",
"Ano Turtiainen likes to do lat pulls with different handles, and low pulley rows. ",
"He does chest supported and bent over rows too. ",
"Many do shrugs every now and then.",
"\n\nThe lifters in the early 80`s or late 70`s trained abs with flat or incline sit-ups using weight many times. ",
"Side work was done using a short bar or dumbbell. ",
"One other thing they did was one arm deadlifts. ",
"They stressed the stabilizing muscles a lot too. ",
"Today a variety of leg raises, pull down abs in lat machine and abs done in a ab machine add the number of exercises alot. ",
"One thing that has become popular last years is the ab wheel. ",
"Most lifters do it on their knees using plate on their back, it targets the abs more instead of hip flexors.",
"\nAs you see, the low back was trained pretty much with the main exercises, squats and pulls. ",
"The older school did also good mornings, mostly after squatting for 5-10 rep sets. ",
"Then they became a forgotten exercise until last years. ",
"Ano Turtiainen went way over 700 pounds using bands and two sets of chains as an extra resistance during his preparation for WPO semi´s. ",
"The other thing many did and still do is back extensions. ",
"These are usually done with a bar on back. ",
"Rauno Rinne used these regularly and pulled 799 in 220´s.",
"\n\n# 7 Jarmo Virtanen´s deadlift secrets\n\nJarmo Virtanen, who many consider the best powerlifter ever in Europe, was great in the deadlift. ",
"He was an excellent squatter too. ",
"Here's some things behind his success.",
"\nIn his youth he trained both power lifting and weightlifting at the same time. ",
"He also trained other sports like football and has always done some sort of physical labor. ",
"His GPP has always been high. ",
"A lot of different squats and deadlifts insured a high SPP level. ",
"A nine time IPF World Champ did lifts like high bar, front and squats with different stances. ",
"He deadlifted with both conventional and sumo, he estimated that he may have done little more conventional work than sumo. ",
"Sometimes he used the snatch grip too. ",
"One of his deadlift variations was sumo off an 1 inch blocks. ",
"He sometimes went quite high on these, 694 was his best.",
"\n\nHe pulled conventional sets where he stopped the bar before it hit the floor to develop static strength and tightness in the start position. ",
"When using sumo, he always did every rep as the first one. ",
"Jarmo said that bouncing the bar off is a waste specially in the sumo style. ",
"He developed speed by high pulls. ",
"He did not extend his hips in the weightlifting style. ",
"He continued the pull with upper back and traps to the navel level.",
"\n\nHe had a picture perfect technique, specially in the ´80s when he hasn't hurt hips thigh. ",
"He developed that by squatting with an ultra wide stance, sometimes he used a Smith-machine to be able to squat as upright as possible. ",
"He practiced technique with no weights in front of mirror. ",
"It was his routine every day for six months. ",
"As far as assistance go, he did a lot of ab work but has never done good mornings. ",
"He felt they make you too stiff. ",
"He stressed the importance of being relaxed, specially in the upper body area and felt it was crucial for getting better leverages in the deadlift and squat too.",
"\n\nJarmo never really maxed out in the gym and usually stayed under 300 kilos in training. ",
"He was great competitor. ",
"In 1988, in our national record breakers in the biggest ice hockey venue at the time, he hauled up 358 kilos twice but dropped it just before down signal. ",
"With torn hand, he came back and pulled it again just to loose the grip again before the ”down” command. ",
"Year before, when lifting in 75 kilo class he was on a roll. ",
"In the World's in Norway he opened with 677 and went to WR 333 and pulled it nicely. ",
"Then he attacked twice to 340,5 kilos ( 750 pounds ) but the grip was his nemesis. ",
"Before he got the grip problem fixed, he hurt his outer thigh. ",
"There was, and still is, some scar tissue that is pressing to nerves. ",
"With the grip he had in `90s and the better technique and flexibility of `80s he would have gone a lot more. ",
"Many times I have wondered why his squat went up 20 kilos but the deadlift stayed the same. ",
"Believe it or not, he never got the best out of him in the deadlift. ",
"A 815-826 deadlift and 900 kilo ( 1984 pound ) total where something he capable of but never achieved.",
"\nWe have had lots of great pullers and power lifters and we had Jarmo Virtanen. ",
"He is one of a kind. ",
"One sign of his true sportsmanship was this interview. ",
"He has always willing to help anyone whether it is training, coaching or giving seminars.",
"\n\nBeing a no class deadlifter myself, I have given this a lot of thought. ",
"Reijo Kiviranta, the 1981 World Champ in 242´s put it together nicely by saying that the one who lifts the most has trained the most. ",
"After reading this article, you can get a picture what he meant. ",
"There is no secrets at all, just pure hard work. ",
"It's the cold hard truth. ",
"If you want to finish on top you have to be a good deadllifter. ",
"So it's time for some deadlift labor, good luck!",
"\n\nI've gotten several questions on this lately, to I'm just going to put it up here for everyone to look at. ",
"The system isn't mine, it's a collection of data gathered by Sakari Selkainaho originally presented on the South Carolina Barbell website. ",
"I've used the system successfully and my deadlift made some quick jumps from just a couple of cycles.",
"\n\nFirst and foremost the percentages presented are guidelines, not the mandate. ",
"Get as close as you can. ",
"The system breaks up the deadlift into three parts: the start, the middle, and the finish/lock-out position. ",
"Each series of lifts is used to target the individual portion of the lift.",
"\n\nELEVATED PULLS: This involves pulling while standing on an elevated surface. ",
"Lifters will pull on anything from a 2\" surface to as high as 6\" in some cases. ",
"Sumo pullers shouldn't need to pull on anything higher than 2'' while conventional pullers should probably average around 2''-4'' depending on the flexibility of the lifter. ",
"Regardless of your flexibility, for your first cycle with this I'd go off of a 2\" platform. ",
"Perform the pulls in the style that you will pull in a meet. ",
"These should be done raw, you can't develop the starting power if the briefs or suit bottoms are doing all the work.",
"\n\nWeek 1\nTriples. ",
"Start at abot 135 and make plate/quarter jumps until you reach a fairly heavy triple, doesn't need to be a max triple but it shouldn't be a cake walk either. ",
"Aim for a triple of around 80% of your 1 rep max. ",
"i.e. if you can pull 600, then your goal should be a set of three with 480 lbs.",
"\n\nDoubles. ",
"Same jumps as last week doing doubles, intensity should come up a bit, but no getting crazy and all psyched up. ",
"Aim for around 85% of your 1 rep max for a double.",
"\n\nSingles. ",
"Same jumps as the weeks before, this is the week you ramp it up and bust ass. ",
"Pull singles all the way up and shoot for at least 90% of your 1 rep max, if you can get more, go for it.",
"\n\nPulling in this manner works the start of your pull.",
"\n\nROMANIAN DEADLIFTS: This is the grinder of the system, it's not fun and can be down right brutal if you aren't used to pulling conventional. ",
"It is also probably the single biggest contributor to this system working. ",
"Personally, when I pull Romanians I do it off the floor. ",
"If you pull Sumo and are weak pulling conventional off the floor, you may need to do it in a rack or off of blocks. ",
"Just make sure that you are keeping tension on the muscles and not releasing if you do them off of racks.",
"\n\nWeek 1\n5's. ",
"Make quarter/plate jumps up until you reach a set of 5 with 80%, yes the first rep counts. ",
"Again, the percentage is a guideline, the first time I did these I only got to about 75%. ",
"The second cycle through and I got the 80% quite a bit easier, even though my 1 rep max had gone up.",
"\n\nWeek 2\n4's. ",
"Again, same jumps until you hit at or abour 85%. ",
"This should end up a bit heavier than last week.",
"\n\nWeek 3\n3's. ",
"Same jumps up to a target weight of 90%. ",
"This should be a balls out effort.",
"\n\nAgain these are guidelines, if you pull conventional regularly they may be a bit low, if you pull sumo they may seem a little high. ",
"Romanians work the mid and start of the deadlift.",
"\n\nREVERSE BAND DEADLIFTS: These are pulls done inside a power rack with the bar set inside a pair of blue bands hung at a height of about 5'6\". ",
"This is a base height, the ideal is to set the bands up so that the bands completely deload at your locked out position. ",
"Use your normal stance, if the rack you have will not allow you your normal Sumo stance go as wide as possible, it only means your going to have to work a little harder to lock it out. ",
"This is training, if you have to lift the bar a little further it will just help improve your lock-out, a good thing.",
"\n\nWeek1:\n3's. ",
"Work up to a heavy triple making plate/quarter jumps. ",
"This is a fairly easy week, don't max out your triple and don't fail. ",
"If you could do 685 for a triple stop at 645.",
"\n\n2's. ",
"As above, except that the intensity gets turned on a bit. ",
"Get amped up and let the weight fly. ",
"Work up to a heavy double, last rep of your last set should be a pretty good grind.",
"\n\n1's. ",
"This is where you uncork it all. ",
"If you want to you can even suit up here and let it rip, get a max single. ",
"It's okay to go until you fail with this, but once you fail, shut it down. ",
"Do not try the same weight over nad over again.",
"\n\nThis works the mid section, the lockout and helps to develop speed out of the hole.",
"\n\nPULLING VS. ",
"BANDS: This is done easiest by standing on a jump stretch platform with bands wrapped over the bar. ",
"I've seen it done in a power rack, even seen people use heavy dumbells to keep the bands in place. ",
"Key is to make sure that the bands catch fairly quickly and add a substantial amount of weight at the op of the lift. ",
"I've seen set-ups that add as much as 400lbs at the top. ",
"Go ahead and use light or medium briefs for this.",
"\n\nWeek 1\n2's. ",
"This week is kind of like a speed week, the weights should be flying off the floor. ",
"You should work your way up until your speed starts to slow down, once that starts to happen, do not add anymore weight and hit about 4-5 more sets of doubles, then shut it d0wn.",
"\n\nWeek 2\n2's Work your way up making quarter/plate jumps to a really heavy double, then go to singles. ",
"Make conservative jumps and DO NOT FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",
"\n\nWorks the very top of the lock out.",
"\n\nCOMPETITION PULL: This section is designed to do one of two things. ",
"If you used this cycle to get ready for a meet and you feel the need to, pull an opener on week 1 then deload on week 2. ",
"Do the opener in your gear and stop as soon as you hit the weight you feel is going to be your opener.",
"\n\nIf you used this just ot check it out and try something a little different for your pull, deload on week one and then pull all out on week 2. ",
"Hope you p.r., ",
"I think you will.",
"\n\nSo written out it looks like this:\n\nWeeks 1-3\nELEVATED PULLS\n\nWeeks 4-6\nROMANIAN DEADLIFTS\n\nWeeks 7-9\nREVERSE BAND DEADLIFTS\n\nWeeks 10-11\nPULLS VS. ",
"BANDS\n\nWeek 12\nOpener or deload if you are off-season\n\nWeek 13\ndeload if you are doing a meet. ",
"Pull a p.r. ",
"if you are off season"

"\n\nPlaying career\nWei Xin was inseparable from Chongqing throughout his entire football career playing for youth and then senior teams within the city. ",
"When Qianwei Huandao football club moved into the city and then later rename themselves Chongqing Lifan they would take on Wei Xin and give him the chance to play in the top tier of Chinese football. ",
"With this club he would become a vital member of the team and win the 2000 Chinese FA Cup, which was his greatest achievement with the club. ",
"This would lead to an international call-up where he would make his debut against North Korea on August 3, 2001, in a 2–2 draw. ",
"He would miss the 2002 FIFA World Cup, however his ability to play as a left back or midfield saw him able to return to the national team and be included in the 2004 AFC Asian Cup where he played a vital part in the teams runners-up position. ",

"When we asked you to nominate some intellectual cliches for this series earlier this year, Adam Smith's \"invisible hand\" cropped up repeatedly, with mentions by Comment is free regulars steffanjohn, JonathanKent and TimWorstall – and PatDavers claiming that \"we'd have hours of fun with that one\". ",
"Well, let the fun commence.",
"\n\nIn the third episode of The Big Ideas, Benjamen Walker discusses the meaning and uses of Smith's concept with philosopher John Gray, academic Marianne Johnson, economist Eamonn Butler and Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee. ",
"We'll be following up the podcast over the course of this and next week with a series of articles looking at Smith's idea from different perspectives.",
"\n\nAs we mention in the podcast, Smith himself only used the phrase \"invisible hand\" sparingly. ",
"It crops up for the first time in part IV of the first chapter of Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759):\n\nThe proud and unfeeling landlord views his extensive fields, and without a thought for the wants of his brethren, in imagination consumes himself the whole harvest … [Yet] the capacity of his stomach bears no proportion to the immensity of his desires..the rest he will be obliged to distribute among those, who prepare, in the nicest manner, that little which he himself makes use of, among those who fit up the palace in which this little is to be consumed, among those who provide and keep in order all the different baubles and trinkets which are employed in the economy of greatness; all of whom thus derive from his luxury and caprice, that share of the necessaries of life, which they would in vain have expected from his humanity or his justice … The rich … are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants, and thus without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society …\n\nThe second mention is in book one, chapter seven, of The Wealth of Nations (1776):\n\nBy preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. ",
"Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was not part of it. ",
"By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. ",
"I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good. ",
"It is an affectation, indeed, not very common among merchants, and very few words need be employed in dissuading them from it.",
"\n\nSo what is the \"invisible hand\"? ",
"Is it a sound economic principle grounded in scientific fact? ",
"Or is it a nebulous myth? ",
"One thing is sure: with stockmarkets tumbling and global economics in permanent crisis, Smith's concept continues to be one of the most controversial big ideas around.",

"Corofin 1-10\n\nPádraig Pearse’s 0-7\n\nDeclan Rooney reports from Tuam Stadium\n\nCOROFIN SURVIVED A second-half surge from Pádraig Pearse’s and wrapped up a fourth Connacht Senior Club title in a row thanks to a brilliant Liam Silke goal 17 minutes from time at Tuam Stadium.",
"\n\nThe Roscommon champions were three behind at the interval but fought back to level matters ten minutes after the break, but Liam Silke’s goal and points from Michael Farragher and Jason Leonard put the result beyond doubt.",
"\n\nAfter winning the toss and electing to play into the light breeze in the first-half Corofin should have taken the lead in the third minute but Gary Sice uncharacteristically pulled a free wide. ",
"Three minutes later at the other end Emmett Kelly slotted a tough ‘45 from the right, which landed on the roof of Bernard Power’s net.",
"\n\nWith both teams opting to flood their defence scoring chances were at a premium, but the seven in a row Galway champions were surely disappointed with some of their shooting and shot selection in that opening half.",
"\n\nNevertheless Dylan Wall levelled matters for them in the seventh minute, while Michael Farragher’s point from a tight angle on the right was just what his side deserved as they moved ahead after 16 minutes.",
"\n\nPlaying in their first Connacht senior final Pearse’s refused to take a backward step against their experienced opponents, and on a couple of occasions both sides lost their discipline and the exchanges became tempestuous.",
"\n\nNiall Carty was sin binned after 18 minutes for a pull down on Cathal Silke as he bore down on goal – Sice kicked the free that followed – while another mass brawl saw a couple of yellow cards dished out and a black for Conor Cunningham in the 25th minute.",
"\n\nSix minutes from the interval Sice’s second free put Corofin 0-4 to 0-1 ahead, but in added-time Pearses kept in touch thanks to Hubert Darcy’s free, while Jason Leonard did likewise at the other end to leave it 0-5 to 0-2 in favour of the champions at half-time.",
"\n\nCorofin's Kieran Molloy and Paul Carey of Padraig Pearses. ",
"Source: Evan Logan/INPHO\n\nThe first time Roscommon champions were quickly out of the blocks in the second-half and a free from Paul Carey soon had the deficit back to two points, while the same player broke through a tough tackle and pointed off his right in the 35th minute.",
"\n\nThe Roscommon challenge was certainly rising at that stage, but Ian Burke frees Ronan Steede on the left and he drilled over a wonderful score off the outside of his boot to restore the two-point cushion.",
"\n\nNiall Daly hit back immediately for Pearse’s with another well struck long range point, and his brother Ronan then scored his first following a turnover at midfield by Niall Daly.",
"\n\nAt 0-6 each the game was suddenly in the balance, but Corofin took charge in a blistering minute. ",

"Q:\n\nWhen is the standard error of the mean impossibly large for a given data range, when we know the sample size?",
"\n\nWhile reading an article (published and peer-reviewed, referenced below) investigating proportions of different tissue types in the human brain I came upon a table presenting data on the different subgroups in the study. ",
"Data was presented as means +/- SE (which I assume to be standard error, although I could not see it specified in the text) and range.",
"\nOne example is the age of one of the subgroups: \nn= 23\nmean age = 66\nSE = 2.9\nrange of age 60-69\nThis puzzled me. ",
"If the SE is 2.9, then given the sample size of 23 the SD of the age should be:\nSD = sqrt(23) * 2.9 = 13.9\nThis would lead to a standard deviation that is quite a lot larger than the specified range for the age, which should not be possible.",
"\nI'm a beginner in the world of statistics, so my question is simply if it from this is possible to conclude that one or several of the values given must be incorrect, or if I'm missing something that would make this data to make sense.",
"\nThank you! ",
"\nReference:\nGuttmann CR, Jolesz FA, Kikinis R, et al. ",
"White matter changes with normal aging. ",
"Neurology 1998;50:972-978. ",
"\n\nA:\n\nI'm looking at the paper now (figures are at the end).",
"\nI may have missed something, but so far I see nothing in the paper that states that the 2.9 is intended to be a standard error (I can't find \"SE\" or \"standard error\" in the paper, for example).",
"\nEdit: Mattias points out in comments that (unlike the html version I linked), the pdf version definitely says 'SE', which invalidates what follows. ",
"It means the article has it wrong.",
"\nYou may have inferred that it is a standard error from the way the information is presented in Table.1, where for example the mean \"Age\" for age group 60-69 is given as 66.0$\\pm$ 2.9.",
"\nHowever, it's not unusual for $\\pm$ to be used in different ways, such as to indicate the standard deviation, or some multiple of the standard error (leaving us to always require it to be spelled out if we are to know for sure what it means).",
"\n\nBounding the standard deviation and the standard error of the mean\nIn any case, it's a good question, and such investigation of the information in papers is important.",
"\nThe largest possible value for a population standard deviation for a bounded continuous variable on $[a,b]$ is $(b-a)/2$; this happens when half the observations are at the lower limit and half at the upper limit. ",
"\nSo for example if we knew that the age group is $60-69$ (assuming ages are recorded only in whole years), the biggest standard deviation possible is $4.5$, and the biggest standard error of the mean would be $4.5/\\sqrt{n}$. \n\nOf course, if the sample variance is based on an $n-1$ denominator, then the standard deviation can slightly exceed half the range (in an easily computable way).",
"\nThe simple rule of thumb - the standard deviation shouldn't be more than half the range - is one worth remembering, as long as for small samples we keep in mind it's really $s_n$ that it holds for.",
"\nHowever, we can bound it further. ",
"First note that $n$ was odd in the table in question, so that we can't actually place half at each end, and it's possible to compute the (slightly smaller) standard deviation that would allow. ",
"Even more importantly, we're told the mean, and that can have a greater impact, reducing the maximum standard deviation to roughly 4.15 ($s_n$) or 4.24 ($s_{n-1}$).",
"\nNote that if the age had been uniformly distributed, it would have given about the right standard deviation:\n\n(It isn't actually uniform - we can tell that because the mean is higher than the center value, but it gives us some idea of the kind of spread we have.)",
"\nThe \"sd < $\\frac{1}{2}$ range\" rule of thumb remains probably the most useful one to remember, unless you're doing some very detailed investigation.",

"The increased level of PDGF-A contributes to the increased proliferation induced by mechanical stimulation in osteoblastic cells.",
"\nMechanical stimulation can prompt healing of bone fractures. ",
"However, it is largely unknown how osteogenesis is promoted by mechanical stimulation. ",
"In this study, we found that mechanical strain-induced proliferation of osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) accompanied increased levels of platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) mRNA, determined by quantitative reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction. ",
"In addition, neomycin and W-7, which blocked mechanical strain-induced proliferation of the osteoblast cells, also blocked mechanical stimulation-induced elevation of PDGF-A mRNA. ",
"Finally, an antibody against PDGF can inhibit physical stimulation-induced proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting that the increased MC3T3-E1 cells produced by mechanical stimulation at least partially depends on the increased activity of PDGF."

"On the Circuit Complexity of Sigmoid Feedforward Neural Networks.",
"\nThis paper aims to examine the circuit complexity of sigmoid activation feedforward artificial neural networks by placing them amongst several classic Boolean and threshold gate circuit complexity classes. ",
"The starting point is the class NN(k) defined by [Shawe-Taylor et al. (",
"1992)] Classes of feedforward neural nets and their circuit complexity. ",
"Neural Networks 5(6), 971-977. ",
"For a better characterisation, we introduce two additional classes NN(k)(Delta) and NN(k)(Delta,epsilon) having less restrictive conditions than NN(k) concerning fan-in and accuracy, and proceed to prove relations amongst these three classes and well established circuit complexity classes. ",
"For doing that, a particular class of Boolean functions F(Delta) is first introduced and we show how a threshold gate circuit can be recursively built for any f(Delta) belonging to F(Delta). ",
"As the G-functions (computing the carries) are f(Delta) functions, a class of solutions is obtained for threshold gate adders. ",
"We then constructively prove the inclusions amongst circuit complexity classes. ",
"This is done by converting the sigmoid feedforward artificial neural network into an equivalent threshold gate circuit [Shawe-Taylor et al. (",
"1992)]. ",
"Each threshold gate is then replaced by a multiple input adder having a binary tree structure, relaxing the logarithmic fan-in condition from ([Shawe-Taylor et al. ",
"1992]) to (almost) polynomial. ",
"This means that larger classes of sigmoid activation feedforward neural networks can be implemented in polynomial size Boolean circuits with a small constant fan-in at the expense of a logarithmic factor increase in the number of layers. ",
"Similar results are obtained for threshold circuits, and are liked with the previous ones. ",
"The main conclusion is that there are interesting fan-in dependent depth-size tradeoffs when trying to digitally implement sigmoid activation feedforward neural networks. ",

"PINK1 loss-of-function mutations affect mitochondrial complex I activity via NdufA10 ubiquinone uncoupling.",
"\nUnder resting conditions, Pink1 knockout cells and cells derived from patients with PINK1 mutations display a loss of mitochondrial complex I reductive activity, causing a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential. ",
"Analyzing the phosphoproteome of complex I in liver and brain from Pink1(-/-) mice, we found specific loss of phosphorylation of serine-250 in complex I subunit NdufA10. ",
"Phosphorylation of serine-250 was needed for ubiquinone reduction by complex I. Phosphomimetic NdufA10 reversed Pink1 deficits in mouse knockout cells and rescued mitochondrial depolarization and synaptic transmission defects in pink(B9)-null mutant Drosophila. ",
"Complex I deficits and adenosine triphosphate synthesis were also rescued in cells derived from PINK1 patients. ",
"Thus, this evolutionary conserved pathway may contribute to the pathogenic cascade that eventually leads to Parkinson's disease in patients with PINK1 mutations."

"From the Fires\n\nFrom the Fires is the second EP by American rock band Greta Van Fleet. ",
"It is a double EP consisting of eight songs; four from their debut EP, Black Smoke Rising, and four new tracks. ",
"It was released on November 10, 2017 through Republic Records. ",
"From the Fires won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.",
"\n\nBackground and release\nFrom the Fires was first announced on October 25, 2017, to be released on November 10, 2017. ",
"The release is a double EP, consisting of eight songs; four being newly recorded by the band, four songs originally found from their prior EP, Black Smoke Rising.",
"\n\nHaving chosen songs for Black Smoke Rising that would demonstrate their range and variety, the band felt that it was \"simply just not finished.\" ",
"As a result, they compiled four more songs that they felt tied up loose ends for From the Fires. ",
"Too busy to design the cover art like they did for Black Smoke Rising, they hired an artist for From the Fires and made suggestions.",
"\n\nThe album was released physically and digitally, the latter being available for a discount on iTunes if the account has already purchased Black Smoke Rising. ",
"The song \"Highway Tune\" topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Active Rock charts in 2017, while \"Safari Song\" had peaked at number 1 on the same chart in February 2018.",
"\n\nThemes and composition\nLyrically, all eight songs across the two EPs all relate to the theme of basic humanity. ",
"Specifically, vocalist Josh Kiszka explained that the EP's name and cover art were inspired by the band's camping trips of their childhood:\n\nThe EP contains two covers; a cover of Sam Cooke's 1964 song \"A Change Is Gonna Come\", and Fairport Convention's 1968 song \"Meet on the Ledge\". ",
"The former was to show the band's soul influences and the latter to have a folk song. ",
"Josh and guitarist Jake had always wanted to cover \"A Change Is Gonna Come\", and felt that its political importance was relevant to today and therefore time to finally do it. ",
"Herschel Boone and his wife recorded multiple chorus parts to give it the effect of a choir. ",
"From the Fires two original songs, \"Edge of Darkness\" and \"Talk on the Street,\" were written about nine months before its release. ",
"Jake briefly referred to the former as \"pure rock and roll\" and the latter as having a \"catchy fun\" element to it.",
"\n\nReception\n\nAt Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the EP received an average score of 64, which indicates \"generally favorable reviews\", based on 4 reviews. ",
"As of August 30, 2019, the EP has sold 500,000 copies in the U.S., giving it a gold certification by the RIAA.",
"\n\nMusically, the release was described as \"Led Zeppelin for Generation Z\", an influence the band mentioned in the past, specifically Robert Plant's wailing vocals and Jimmy Page's guitar riffs.",

"\nSeptember 21, 1992\n\nAppeal from the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico\nSalvador Medina De La Cruz on brief for appellant.",
"\nDaniel F. Lopez Romo, United States Attorney, Jose Vazquez Garcia, Assistant United States Attorney, and Thomas D. Ramsey, Assistant Regional Counsel, Region I, Department of Health and Human Services.",
"\nD. Puerto Rico\nAFFIRMED.",
"\nBefore Breyer, Chief Judge, Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge, and Cyr, Circuit Judge.",
"\nPer Curiam.",
"\n\n\n1\nPlaintiff appeals from a district court decision affirming a final decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services that appellant was not disabled under the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 416(i), 423(d), for purposes of obtaining disability insurance benefits. ",
" Appellant applied for disability insurance benefits for a back condition dating from 1981 which allegedly rendered him unable to work. ",
" The administrative law judge (ALJ) denied benefits, concluding that, while appellant's impairment was severe enough to prevent him from continuing to work as a truck driver, he had the residual functional capacity to engage in light work. ",
" Because the record as a whole supports this finding, we affirm. ",
" Appellant raises a number of objections to the ALJ's decision, which we consider in turn.1\n\n\n2\nAppellant first claims that the ALJ's decision is inconsistent with testimony by a vocational expert that appellant could not engage in any substantial gainful work. ",
" Appellant argues that the medical evidence shows that his back pain is at least frequent and that the vocational expert testified that frequent pain would prevent appellant from performing any substantial gainful work. ",
" Actually, the vocational expert testified that appellant would be unable to perform any work in the national economy if the pain were both frequent and severe. ",
" The ALJ basically found that appellant's pain was not severe when he concluded that appellant's back condition, though painful, was not a \"disabling painful condition\" and that appellant's allegation of pain was credible only to the extent that he could no longer perform heavy or medium work. ",
" Therefore, the condition of the hypothetical posed to the vocational expert that the pain be severe was not met, and appellant's objection is not well taken. ",
" See Lizotte v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 654 F.2d 127, 131 (1st Cir. ",
"1981) (affirming the ALJ's determination that the claimant could perform certain tasks where, although the vocational expert had determined that the claimant could not perform such tasks if certain restrictions in his capabilities were assumed, the ALJ had found that the assumed restrictions did not actually exist).",
"\n\n\n3\nNext, appellant states that specific clinical tests showed that he had very limited residual functional capacity to stand, walk or sit. ",
" The clinical tests to which appellant refers measured the difficulty or pain appellant encountered when flexing certain joints. ",
" Appellant's medical records indicate that at times appellant scored positive on those tests (at other times, the tests were negative). ",
" Nowhere do appellant's treating doctors indicate that a positive result would mean that appellant's residual functional capacity was limited, nor do they appear to have recommended that appellant limit his activities in any way. ",
" Although appellant points out that the Secretary's examining physician, Dr. Garayalde, observed that appellant had difficulty dressing and undressing himself, that observation is not controlling since it described appellant's condition as of the year after appellant's eligibility for benefits had expired. ",
" The only evidence in lay terms of appellant's functional capacity for the relevant period was provided by a residual functional capacity assessment form filled out by Dr. Hernandez, a medical consultant to the Secretary. ",
" Based on his review of medical records,2 Dr. Hernandez concluded that appellant's strength was somewhat limited: he could lift or carry up to 20 pounds and could frequently lift or carry 10 pounds; he could stand, walk or sit about six hours in an eight-hour day; and he could push or pull light weights. ",
" Dr. Hernandez also found that, although appellant could stoop only occasionally, he could climb, balance, kneel, crouch, crawl, reach, handle, and engage in other fine motor activities with frequency. ",
" Here, where appellant's treating physicians provided no residual functional capacity assessment, the ALJ was entitled to rely on Dr. Hernandez's uncontradicted assessment in determining that appellant had the residual functional capacity to perform light work.3 Rodriguez Pagan v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 819 F.2d 1, 2-3 (1st Cir. ",
"1987), cert. ",
"denied, 484 U.S. 1012 (1988); cf. ",
" Berrios Lopez v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 951 F.2d 427, 430-32 (1st Cir. ",
"1991) (discussing the circumstances under which an ALJ may credit a non-examining, non-testifying medical consultant's residual functional capacity assessment over a treating physician's assessment); Arroyo v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 932 F.2d 82, 87-88 (1st Cir. ",
"1991) (the ALJ supportably relied on the residual functional capacity assessment of non-examining consultants though treating physicians had expressed contrary opinions). ",
" Indeed, we would not have permitted the ALJ to make a residual functional capacity determination on the basis of raw test data under the circumstances present here. ",
" See Rosado v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 807 F.2d 292, 293-94 (1st Cir. ",
"1986) (the ALJ could not draw his own conclusions about a claimant's functional capacity from raw medical data not analyzed by a physician in functional terms where a contrary medical report by an examining physician described the claimant's functional capacity in relevant, nonconclusory detail); Berrios v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 796 F.2d 574, 576 (1st Cir. ",
"1986) (the Appeals Council could not base its denial of benefits on its interpretation of raw, technical data contained in one medical report where a contrary report interpreted medical data in functional terms).",
"\n\n\n4\nFor the same reason, appellant's objections that he could not perform light work requiring standing for six hours a day and that the ALJ needed a medical advisor to help him interpret appellant's medical record are without merit. ",
" Dr. Hernandez acted essentially as medical advisor, analyzing the raw medical data to determine appellant's residual functional capacity. ",
" No other physician analyzed appellant's functional capacity. ",
" Thus, Dr. Hernandez's assessment that appellant could perform light work was uncontradicted by any other professional testimony. ",
" Furthermore, the ALJ determined that appellant's testimony that he could not engage in even light work was not fully credible. ",
" Appellant's medical records showed that appellant sometimes went for many months without seeking medical treatment for his condition and that conservative intervention (medication and physical therapy) improved his condition when it became painful. ",
" In light of this evidence, the ALJ's decision not to fully credit appellant's testimony as to the intensity of his pain and its effect on his physical capacity was reasonable and is entitled to our deference. ",
" See Irlanda Ortiz v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 955 F.2d 765, 769 (1st Cir. ",
"1991) (although appellant had an objective medical impairment that could reasonably be expected to produce pain, the ALJ supportably decided that the claimant's complaints were not credible to the extent alleged since medical records indicated, among other things, that at times claimant's condition improved and that in some years claimant received no treatment at all for his back condition). ",
" Appellant also claims that the ALJ should not have \"mentioned\" or \"used in argument\" the fact that appellant was reluctant to undergo surgery or further physical therapy. ",
" Appellant points out that Social Security Ruling 82-59 permits a determination that a claimant has not followed prescribed treatment that could remove the alleged disability only after the claimant is notified that refusing treatment could result in the loss of disability benefits and is given an opportunity to undergo treatment.4 Appellant argues that he was not so informed or given an opportunity for treatment. ",
" Although the ALJ did mention the appellant's reluctance to undergo surgery or to continue physical therapy when describing appellant's medical history, he did not \"find\" that appellant had failed to follow prescribed treatment, nor did he base his finding that appellant was not disabled on that fact. ",
" Rather, he determined that appellant was not disabled because his residual functional capacity permitted him to engage in light work. ",
" Thus, one of the conditions for applying the Ruling that the claimant's impairment precludes any substantial gainful activity-did not exist here. ",
" For that reason, Ruling 82-59 does not apply, and appellant's objection is not on target.5\n\n\n5\nAppellant further complains that the ALJ \"discarded\" without explanation the testimony he was required to obtain under Avery v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 797 F.2d 19 (1st Cir. ",
"1986). ",
" We conclude that the ALJ adequately considered the Avery factors. ",
" First, he thoroughly assessed appellant's medical history and subjective complaints of pain, and in so doing described \"the nature, location, onset, duration, frequency, radiation and intensity\" of appellant's pain. ",
" The medical record persuaded him that appellant had a severe impairment with attendant pain. ",
" But he found that the impairment was not as severe or continuous as the disability described in Appendix 1 of 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Subpart P, and that appellant's pain was not as intense as he alleged. ",
" Second, the ALJ determined that heavy and medium lifting and carrying were activities that would be \"precipitating and aggravating factors\" under Avery. ",
" He noted, for example, that the lifting of cement bags in April 1987 had exacerbated appellant's back condition. ",
" Accordingly, he found that appellant should engage only in light lifting and carrying. ",
" Third, although the ALJ did not describe appellant's medication for his back pain by name or dosage, he elicited testimony about appellant's medication and reviewed appellant's medical records, concluding that appellant had been treated \"conservatively\" with muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories with \"good results ... and no side effects.\" ",
" Fourth, the ALJ noted that appellant had also undergone other treatment, i.e., physical therapy, with \"good results ... and no side effects.\" ",
" Fifth, he analyzed appellant's functional capacity, crediting appellant's allegations of pain and physical limitation only to the extent that they showed that appellant could not perform heavy or medium work. ",
" Crediting Dr. Hernandez's report over appellant's subjective complaints, he determined that appellant would be able to engage in light work. ",
" Last, the ALJ considered evidence of appellant's daily activities, which had been offered to show appellant's limited physical capacity. ",
" He rejected that evidence because it described appellant's condition as of a time when appellant's eligibility for disability benefits had already expired. ",
" Thus, the ALJ considered each of the Avery factors, and we see no error in his decision on that score.",
"\n\n\n6\nFinally, appellant complains that the ALJ emphasized the absence of motor or neurological deficits in his decision, and claims that there is no requirement that a claimant establish a neurological motor deficit in order to verify alleged back pain. ",
" Appellant's contention is without merit. ",
" As part of the five-step procedure used in determining an applicant's qualification for disability benefits, the ALJ was required to determine whether or not the appellant's condition equalled the severity criteria listed in the relevant regulations. ",
" He concluded that appellant did not have the \"consistent clinical neurological deficits as required by Section 1. ",
"05(c) of the Listing. ",
" He was not found with neurological sensory, reflex and motor abnormalities....\" Because this language reflects the language used in the regulations, it was entirely appropriate. ",
" See 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1, § 1. ",
"00B (\"There must be a detailed description of the orthopedic and neurologic examination findings. ",
" The findings should include a description of ... motor and sensory abnormalities, muscle spasm, and deep tendon reflexes.\"); ",
" § 1.05C (\"1. ",
"Pain, muscle spasm, and significant limitation of motion in the spine; and 2. ",
"Appropriate radicular distribution of significant motor loss with muscle weakness and sensory and reflex loss.\").",
"\n\n\n7\nAccordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.",
"\n\n\n\n1\n The ALJ also determined that appellant's mild dysthymic mood disorder did not render appellant disabled. ",
" Because appellant does not contest that finding, we confine our discussion to issues relating to appellant's back condition\n\n\n2\n Dr. Hernandez's assessment, made in January 1988, does not state specifically that he reviewed appellant's entire medical record. ",
" The assessment form indicated, however, that his assessment reflected appellant's condition as of December 1986, which would have required his review of appellant's medical records as of that time. ",
" Dr. Hernandez's statement of the medical findings on which he based his assessment mirrors primarily language found in Dr. Garayalde's 1987 report, but also reflects language only found in appellant's other medical records. ",
" (He uses the term \"PVM spasm\", which does not appear in Dr. Garayalde's report; one of appellant's earlier medical records uses the term \"paravertebral spasm.\") ",
" Moreover, the Secretary's brief on appeal states that Dr. Hernandez reviewed appellant's \"medical record\" in making his assessment, and the Secretary's initial denial of benefits, which relied on Dr. Hernandez's residual functional capacity assessment, indicated that both appellant's medical records for 1982-87 and Dr. Garayalde's report were considered in reaching that determination. ",
" We conclude that there is ample evidence here to believe that Dr. Hernandez reviewed appellant's entire medical record in making his residualfunctional capacity assessment. ",
" We note, however, that we would not assign much evidentiary weight to an assessment that did not take into account a claimant's entire relevant medical record, especially where, as here, the Secretary's own medical assessments were based on examinations or evaluations conducted fairly long after the relevant disability period\n\n\n3\n Dr. Hernandez's residual functional capacity assessment also has evidentiary value because he appears to have reviewed appellant's medical status carefully before making his assessment. ",
" Correspondence in the record indicates that Dr. Hernandez asked Dr. Garayalde to provide an evaluation of appellant's muscle weakness, information which was not in Dr. Garayalde's initial report and which Dr. Hernandez stated was necessary before he could assess appellant's residual functional capacity\n\n\n4\n The policy statement prefacing the Ruling indicates that the determination that a claimant has not followed prescribed treatment essentially constitutes a determination that the claimant is not disabled for purposes of receiving benefits under the Social Security Act.

",
"I do not know whether the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks (the “Commission”) or the Senate and House Committees on Intelligence (the “Committees”) have had the opportunity to consider these issues carefully. ",
"If so, I hope this memorandum will be helpful. ",
"If not, I respectfully urge them, in accordance with the mandate of the Commission’s charter and in the exercise of the Committees’ responsibilities, to investigate the facts and resolve the questions presented.",
"\n\nI regret that this memorandum comes to the Commission after the publication of its Final Report this past July (the “Commission’s Final Report”). ",
"As will become evident, however, it has taken some time to assemble\n\n\n\n\n\n[1]\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is far more important, to all of us, that the Commission’s work be accurate and complete or, at the very least, that the Commission urge that these questions be explored and resolved by another panel as independent, distinguished and objective as itself. ",
"Both the Senate and House Committees should endeavor to explore and resolve these issues as well.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\n1. ",
"General Preliminary Conclusions\n\n\n\nThis memorandum, on the basis of the information set forth below, the Exhibits hereto and the reports and other documents cited herein, comes to the following general preliminary conclusions. ",
"The confirmation or effective rebuttal of these conclusions can be arrived at only by a public inquiry and a thorough examination of all necessary and appropriate witnesses and all relevant documentary and other evidence. ",
"A detailed summary of these tentative conclusions is set forth at pages 49 to 52.",
"\n\nI emphasize at the outset that the purpose of this memorandum is not to accuse any individual or individuals (excluding the hijackers themselves), or any company, of any unlawful act or any other act harmful to\n\n\n\n\n\n[2]\n\n\n\n\n\n1. ",
"In the months leading up to September 11, 2001, the Israeli DEA Groups 1 were spying on the United States. ",
"2 They were at the same time keeping Arab groups in our country under surveillance, including the future hijackers and other FBI suspects in the catastrophic attacks of September 11. ",
"The base of operations for both the Israeli DEA Groups and the future hijackers of the World Trade Center Planes and the Pennsylvania Plane was in and around Hollywood, Florida.",
"\n\n2. ",
"During the same period, the Israeli New Jersey Group was keeping under surveillance Arab groups in Bergen and Hudson Counties, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, including the future hijackers of the Pentagon Plane, whose center of operations was also in Bergen and Hudson Counties. ",
"The Israeli New Jersey Group appears to have been aware, before they occurred, that hijackings had been planned by Arab terrorists, as evidenced by their jubilation when the World Trade Center was first struck, by the North Tower Plane. ",
"The leader of the Israeli New Jersey Group, who has fled the United States for Israel, is included, along with the names of the hijackers and FBI suspects, on the May 2002 FBI Suspect List.",
"\n\n3. ",
"The Israeli Government, through its external security agency, Mossad, warned the United States in August 2001 that an impending catastrophic attack on our soil was being planned by Arab terrorist cells located in the United States. ",
"The warnings were the result of the Israeli Groups’ surveillance of the future hijackers in this country.",
"\n\n4. ",
"The Mossad warnings were too vague and too late to have enabled the United States to take any action to prevent the imminent attacks at unspecified locations in\n\n1 Capitalized terms used initially in this memorandum without definition have the respective meanings later specified.",
"\n\n2 As shown in this memorandum, the evidence establishing this fact appears to be conclusive.",
"\n\n[3]\n\n\n\n\n\n5. ",
"Why the Israeli government decided not to share with us all the critical information they had, and the extent of that information, is a subject for the public inquiry. ",
"They may have thought some sort of warning prudent in the event their surveillance activities later became a matter of public knowledge. ",
"But any energetic Israeli effort to assist the United States in preventing the attacks would not have served their strategic interest, in view of the disastrous effect those attacks were likely to have on the relationships between the United States and the Arab world. ",
"As a leader of the Israeli New Jersey Group said when he was arrested on the afternoon of September 11, “We are Israeli. ",
"We are not your problem. ",
"Your problems are our problems.”",
"\n\n6. ",
"Whether and to what extent the CIA, though surely not aware of the plans of the future hijackers before the attacks, might have been aware of or condoned the Israeli Groups’ surveillance of Arab groups generally in the United States prior to September 11 is a further question that must be explored in the course of the public inquiry. ",
"The CIA’s explanation of why two future hijackers were placed on a Watchlist in August 2001, as set forth in the Commission’s Final Report, is implausible and may have been designed to conceal the Israeli warnings. ",
"This consideration, along with other important factors discussed below, opens the door to a thorough investigation of this issue as well.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\n2. ",
"Imperatives and Priorities\n\n\n\nIt need hardly be observed that the demands of justice and national security, and the rights of the victims and their survivors, require that our first imperative, as a nation, be to find and bring to justice Osama bin Laden and his coadjutors, as well as other members of al Qaeda, and all others who bear responsibility for the horrendous loss of life on that terrible September day. ",
"That work is of course the charge of our political,\n\n\n\n\n\n[4]\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Commission’s task is a collateral and subordinate one -- to investigate the circumstances surrounding and our preparedness for the September 11 attacks, in the hope that we can prevent one from ever happening again. ",
"This is the charge of the Committees as well. ",
"This memorandum, therefore, while it naturally stresses, for the benefit of the Commission and the Committees, the present issues relating to surveillance and disclosure, before and at about the time of the attacks, should not be mistaken as any effort to place the blame for the cause of our suffering on anyone but al Qaeda and its members, or to weaken the resolve of our country in finding, capturing and punishing those who have brought so much misery to so many of us.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\n3. ",
"The DEA Report\n\n\n\nIn June 2001, the Office of Security of the Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) issued a long report (the “DEA Report”) describing in precise detail the attempts of approximately 125 or more nationals of a foreign country, most posing as art students, “to penetrate several DEA Field Offices in the continental United States.” ",
"Many of these individuals also visited the residences of numerous DEA officials and “other agencies’ facilities and the residences of their employees.” ",
"The DEA Report states that “these incidents have occurred since at least the beginning of 2000, and have continued to the\n\n\n\n\n\n[5]\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Israeli DEA Groups\n\nVirtually all of the scores of individuals questioned or detained by the DEA and other federal and local law enforcement authorities were citizens of the State of Israel. ",
"They were generally organized in groups of eight to 10 people, with a single team leader (the “Israeli DEA Groups”). ",
"They usually worked, individually or in pairs, carrying makeshift art portfolios. ",
"They visited scores of DEA offices, laboratories and houses or apartments, ostensibly to offer or show the paintings or prints in the portfolios for sale or promotion to DEA personnel.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\na. Backgrounds in Intelligence, Electronic Intercept and Communications Units\n\n\n\nWhile Israel has compulsory military service, many of those questioned by U.S. authorities had served in the military intelligence services or in electronic or communications units of the Israeli army. ",
"Thus, for example, Lior Baram 3 of Plantation (near Hollywood), Florida, questioned by the DEA on January 22, 2001, had served two years in Israeli intelligence working with classified information; Dilka Borenstein, 4 questioned by INS at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (“DFW Airport”) on March 27, 2001, was a “recently discharged” military\n\n3 DEA Report, paragraph 69, p. 20; paragraph 5, p. 48.

"\n\n[6]\n\n\n\n\n\n5\n\n6\n\nThe DEA’s Office of Security concluded that the Israelis “may well be engaged in organized intelligence gathering.” ",
"7 A spokesman for the Immigration & Naturalization Service (the “INS”) stated that dozens of these Israelis were expelled from the United States (from California, the Midwest, Florida and other states). “",
"No one has tallied the total,” he said. ",
"8 The expulsions were usually for visa violations.",
"\n\nThe leaders of the Israeli DEA Groups included Itay Simon (arrested on April 14, 2001 in Irving, Texas), recently discharged from the Israeli army where he had done classified work for the Israeli military. ",
"9 Mr. Simon coordinated recruiting for the groups and served as an intermediary between five individuals in Israel and the U.S. operation. ",
"10 Another leader was Michael Calmanovic (also arrested in Irving on that day), who rented a number\n\n5 DEA Report, paragraph 53-56, pp. ",

"When questioned by the DEA in Tampa, Florida, on March 1, 2001, he had in his possession bank deposit slips amounting to more than $100,000 from December 2000 through the first quarter of 2001, and withdrawal slips for slightly less than that amount during the period. ",
"Mr. Serfaty served in the Israeli military between the ages of 18 and 21, but refused to disclose to the DEA his activities between the ages of 21 and 24, including his activities since his U.S. arrival at age 23 in 2000. ",
"14 Another was Peer Segalovitz of Tamarac, Florida (about 20 miles west of Hollywood -- see MAP 1), an active officer in an Israeli special forces battalion who commanded 80 men in the Golan Heights. ",

",
"Nice-Systems’ U.S. subsidiary, Nice Systems Inc., is located in Rutherford, New Jersey, 16 adjacent to East Rutherford where five members of the Israeli New Jersey group were arrested on September 11. ",

",
"These included 25 DEA offices and three laboratories: the DEA’s Southwest Laboratory near San Diego (and the residence of its Director), 22 the DEA’s Southeast Laboratory in Miami (and the residences of three of its chemists), 23 and the DEA’S South Central Laboratory (or property adjacent to it), as well as the residences of one of its chemists and another employee.

"A few days after September 11, Israeli intelligence officials reported that two senior experts of Mossad had warned the United States in August 2001 that large-scale terrorist attacks on the U.S. mainland were imminent. ",
"They also informed U.S. officials of the existence of a cell of as many as 200 terrorists preparing the operation. ",

"He refused to disclose the evidence, however, since it was classified. ",
"A highly regarded American journal that broadly covers Israeli affairs reported in December 2001 that the Israeli DEA Groups were spying on Islamic networks in the United States linked to Middle East Terrorism. ",
"34\n\nThere was no implication in these reports that the Israelis were involved in planning for or carrying out the September 11 attacks. ",

"Hollywood, for months, had been and would continue to be the staging ground for the hijacking of the World Trade Center Planes and the Pennsylvania Plane. ",
"Among the Israeli groups, more than 30 lived in the Hollywood area, 10 in Hollywood itself. ",

"\n\nIt may be that originally the Israeli DEA Groups did little more than sell art (though illegally and in violation of their visas). ",
"Once the need or usefulness of keeping Arab groups under surveillance in the United States became apparent to the Israeli government, it may have viewed these art salesmen and their vans as ideal groups and vehicles into which to insert sophisticated agents with telecommunications, wiretapping or electronic eavesdropping equipment and intelligence expertise.",
"\n\nThe vans in the operations of both Israeli Groups 122 were able to move about neighborhoods without raising undue concern. ",
"The “art students” in the Israeli DEA Groups were using their vans as sometime door-to-door salesmen. ",
"The personnel of Urban Moving Systems, the Mossad front, were ostensibly driving about northeastern New Jersey towns in their van (or vans) to help people move -- a familiar suburban sight.",
"\n\n122 Only one van, that stopped on September 11, has been identified as used by the Israeli New Jersey Group. ",
"We do not yet know ( a ) whether Urban Moving Systems had a number of vans, ( b ) how many of its employees worked in vans beyond the five arrested on September 11, or ( c ) whether any of its employees fled to Israel along with Dominik Suter.",
"\n\n[43]\n\n\n\n\n\nWith ample room for personnel and electronic equipment, the vans were ideal vehicles for electronic eavesdropping. ",
"123 The extent to which Nice Systems, the Israeli wiretapping company for which Tomer Ben Dor worked (the Israeli with the reference to “DEA Groups” in his computer files) will be a matter for the public inquiry. ",
"Nice Systems was ideally suited to provide equipment and expertise to the Israeli New Jersey Group because its U.S. headquarters were located in Rutherford, New Jersey, near the center of the Group’s operations (MAP 3).",
"\n\nThe future hijackers were frequent users of land lines and cell telephones and thus were ideal subjects for electronic surveillance. ",
"Mihdhar regularly telephoned a terrorist facility in the Middle East from the United States. ",

"The DEA had its own concerns about the Israeli DEA Groups relating to previous drug investigations, as noted above. ",

"The inquiry must include, without limitation, the examination of members of the Israel Groups and related persons; officials of the Israeli government and certain of its agencies, including Mossad; FBI suspects, agents of the DEA, the INS and the FBI; certain local law enforcement officials; agents of the CIA (in camera to the extent required); other intelligence sources cited by the public press to the extent possible; the boxes of documents and computer hard drives (referred on page 29) seized by the FBI from the Israeli New Jersey Group; and of all other relevant documents, reports, communiqués and information. --",
"\n\nThe Israeli DEA Groups were spying on the Drug Enforcement Agency and thus upon the United States. ",
"The DEA itself has concluded that they were probably engaged in organized intelligence gathering on our soil.",
"\n\n\n\n[48]\n\n\n\nA highly regarded American journal knowledgeable about Israeli affairs, has concluded ( a ) based on its own sources, that the Israeli DEA Groups were spying on radical Islamic networks suspected of links to Middle East terrorism, and ( b ) based on the representations of a former American intelligence official regularly briefed on these matters by law enforcement officials, that ( i ) at least two members of the Israeli New Jersey Group were Mossad operatives, ( ii ) Urban Moving, the company used by the Israeli New Jersey Group, was a front for Mossad and its operatives, and ( iii ) the Israeli New Jersey Group was spying on local Arabs.",
"\n\n\n\nThe intelligence sources of a substantial American television network report that the Israeli DEA Groups may have gathered information about the September 11 attacks in advance, and not shared it with the United States. ",
"One investigator said that evidence linking the Israeli DEA Groups to such intelligence gathering was classified and could not be disclosed.",
"\n\n\n\nThe Israeli DEA Groups were comprised of 125 or more Israelis operating on our soil. ",
"Their leaders and apparent associates included military commanders and experts with military backgrounds in intelligence, electronic intercepts and telecommunications.",
"\n\n\n\nThe wiretapping and intelligence expertise of members of both Israeli Groups, and the use of vans in local neighborhoods where the future hijackers were planning the attacks, and the extensive use by the hijackers of cell phones and land lines, made the Israeli Groups ideally suited to gather information regarding the hijackers’ plans.",
"\n\n\n\nThe principal operation of the Israeli DEA Groups was located in and around Hollywood, Florida, the central training and staging ground for the hijacking of North and South Tower Planes and the Pennsylvania Plane. ",
"The addresses and places of residence of the members of the Israeli DEA\n\n\n\n[48]\n\n\n\nGroups in Hollywood itself were within hundreds of yards those of the future hijackers.",
"\n\n\n\nThe operations of both the Israeli New Jersey Group and the hijackers of the Pentagon Plane were centered in Hudson and Bergen Counties in New Jersey, within a common radius of about six miles.",
"\n\n\n\nAll five celebrating members of the Israeli New Jersey Group arrested on September 11 were aware, when the North Tower Plane struck the World Trade Center, based on their immediate reaction to the attack and the information said to be contained in their van, that the attack had been planned and carried out by Arab terrorists.",
"\n\n\n\nAfter being questioned by the FBI on September 11, the leader of the Israeli New Jersey Group immediately fled the United States to Israel. ",
"His name and aliases appear, along with those of the hijackers and other FBI suspects, on the May 2002 FBI Suspect list.",
"\n\n\n\nIsraeli intelligence officials have reported that two senior officials of Mossad warned the United States in August 2001 that as many as 200 terrorists on American soil were planning an imminent large-scale attack on high visibility targets on the American mainland. ",
"One press report states that in August Mossad provided the CIA with the names of future hijackers Khaled al Mihdhar and Nawaf al Hazmi.",
"\n\n\n\nThe CIA’s explanation of how Mihdhar’s and Hazmi’s names were placed on the Watchlist through the spontaneous efforts of CIA and FBI agents is not only difficult to follow but, as the sole reason for the Watchlisting, hardly credible.",
"\n\n\n\nMossad’s own information appears to have come from its sources inside the United States. ",
"All of the facts and circumstances set forth in this memorandum appear to show that Mossad’s two likely sources of information were: ( a ) the Israeli DEA Groups, comparable in number to that\n\n\n\n[48]\n\n\n\nof the Arab suspects and who appear to have tracked the future hijackers in their central places of operation and in other states, and ( b ) the Israeli New Jersey Group, operating through their Mossad front in another principal locus of operations of the future hijackers, two of whom were Mossad agents, and five of whom appeared immediately aware of the origin of the attacks on September 11.",
"\n\n\n\nWhile little direct evidence supports the contention that the CIA was aware of or condoned the Israeli Groups’ tracking of Arab terrorist groups in the United States prior to September 11, the CIA’s pressing for the expulsion of members of the Israeli DEA Groups when they were detained before September 11, their failure to cooperate with the FBI, their circuitous explanation of how the above two hijackers were placed on the Watchlist, and other relevant considerations require that the issue be taken up as a part of the public inquiry into these painful events.",
"\n\nGerald Shea\n\nEXHIBIT A\n\nSuspicious Activities Involving Israeli Art Students at DEA Facilities\n\nDrug Enforcement Administration Office of Security\n\n\n\nJune, 2001\n\nBackgound:\n\nIn January, 2001, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Office of Security Programs (IS), began to receive reports of Israeli art students attempting to penetrate several DEA Field Offices in the continental United States. ",
"Additionally, there have been reports of Israeli art students visiting the homes of numerous DEA employees. ",
"These incidents have occurred since at least the beginning of 2000, and have continued to the present. ",
"The number of reported incidents increased in November/December 2000, and has continued to date. ",
"These incidents have involved several other law enforcement and Department of Defense agencies, with contacts made at other agencies’ facilities and the residences of their employees. ",
"Geographically, these incidents are very widespread, ranging from California to Florida. ",
"The majority of the incidents have occurred in the southern half of the continental U.S. with the most activity reported in the state of Florida. ",
"Since April 2001, the number of reported incidents has declined, however, the geographic spread of the incidents has increased to Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Los Angeles.",
"\n\nThe activities of these Israeli art students raised the suspicion of IS and other field offices when attempts were made to circumvent the access control systems at DEA offices, and when these individuals began to solicit their paintings at the homes of DEA employees. ",
"The nature of the individuals’ conduct, combined with intelligence information and historical information regarding past incidents involving Israeli Organized Crime, leads IS to believe the incidents may well be an organized intelligence gathering activity. ",
"It is believed by IS that these incidents should not be the basis for any immediate concern for the safety and security of DEA personnel, however, employees should continue to exercise due caution in safeguarding information relating to DEA investigations, or activities.",
"\n\nDEA Orlando has developed the first drug nexus to this group. ",
"Telephone numbers obtained from an Israel Art Student encountered at the Orlando D.O. have been linked to several ongoing DEA MDMA (Ecstasy) investigations in Florida, California, Texas, and New York. ",
"The Orlando D.O. has opened an investigation that is being coordinated with DEA HQs.",
"\n\nIn general, these individuals appear to be organized in teams of 8 to 10 people, with one person described as the “Team Leader”. ",
"They are usually encountered in pairs or individually carrying a makeshift art portfolio. ",
"Several times, they have, been seen or\n\n\n\n\n\n[1]\n\n\n\n\n\nTheir stories are remarkable only in their consistency. ",
"At first, they will state that they are art students, either from the University of Jerusalem, or the Bezalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem. ",
"Other times they will purport to be promoting a new art studio in the area. ",
"When pressed for details as to the location of the art studio or why they are selling the paintings, they become evasive. ",
"Some claim to be the artist who painted the artwork, others claim they {are} promoting the work of others or of Israel. ",
"Information has been received which indicates the art is actually produced in China. ",
"When told that they cannot solicit on federal facilities, they will claim that the paintings are not for sale, but that they are soliciting interest in the paintings, either for an art studio or for a future art sale.",
"\n\nAn incident report by DEA Tampa has revealed much information relating to these individuals. ",
"DEA Agents at the Tampa District Office questioned the Team Leader of a group of 9 individuals at length. ",
"The Team Leader stated he purchases the paintings for $8 to $10 dollars from an individual in the Hollywood/Ft. ",
"Lauderdale, Florida area. ",
"The paintings are then sold for $50 to $80 dollars. (",
"Other offices have reported the paintings selling for $150-$200 dollars.) ",
"The individuals come to the U.S. on tourist visas, and finance their stay here by selling the paintings. ",
"The Hollywood, Florida area seems to be a central point for these individuals with several having addresses in this area.",
"\n\nThere have been incidents where criminal and/or suspicious activity has been associated with these individuals. ",
"Two were arrested by FPS in Plantation, FL with counterfeit Social Security Cards. ",
"Baton Rouge, LA discovered a small amount (personal use amount) of marijuana in the residence of one group, and some of the individuals interviewed by DEA/Tampa admitted to smoking marijuana. ",
"Criminal records checks have revealed some arrest history on persons associated with these groups. ",
"Passport irregularities have been reported. ",
"A review of their passports shows travel to several other countries, to include Thailand, Laos, India, Kenya, Central and South America, Australia, Germany, Amsterdam, and Canada. ",
"One individual presented a Canadian citizenship card along with his Israeli passport. ",
"A report from EPA/Denver involved a female art student going to the house of an EPA Special Agent to sell art, and returning later to photograph the house. ",
"There is a report of one of these individuals being seen diagramming the layout of a federal facility. ",
"This information has not been directly reported to DEA, and has not been confirmed by first-hand observation.",
"\n\nWhen encountered at residences, some of these individuals are persistent in trying to get inside the home. ",
"Some have asked to use the telephone when leaving. ",
"Some employees\n\n\n\n\n\n[2]\n\n\n\n\n\nIS requested that all DEA Field Divisions canvas their employees to determine if these activities have occurred in their area. ",
"Additionally, information has been received from several other federal law enforcement agencies. ",
"The following is a summary, by DEA Division Offices, of the events that have taken place:\n\nAtlanta Division\n\n1. ",
"Sometime in July or August 2000, a woman claiming to be a student from a foreign country attempted to enter the Chattanooga, Tennessee Resident Office. ",

"The male subject spoke fluent English, however the female subject had a heavy accent. ",
"Both subjects claimed to be Israeli art students. ",
"The Special Agent examined some of the artwork, but became suspicious when the students would not provide him with a contact telephone number in case he should decide to buy something. ",
"Subsequently, the Special Agent saw some of the exact same artwork for sale at kiosk in the Mall of Georgia. ",
"The Special Agent questioned the salesperson about the origin of the artwork, but the salesperson was uncooperative.",
"\n\n3. ",
"During the first week of January 2001, an individual identifying himself as an Israeli art student attempted to bring artwork into the Columbus, Georgia Resident Office. ",
"The individual was not permitted to enter the office.",
"\n\n4. ",
"The following was received by the Montgomery, Alabama District Office:\n\nOn 3/27/2001, approximately 1:45 p.m., Montgomery District Office Group Supervisor John W. Wall was exiting the elevator on the first floor of our building enroute to a meeting. ",
"Our building is a small two-story office building that also contains the offices of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Geological Survey, Dyncorp and a small investment company (Newman Investments). ",
"As G/S Wall got out of the elevator, a white female was getting on. ",
"G/S Wall noticed she was carrying a large blue artist portfolio. ",
"GIS Wall engaged her in conversation and asked if she was in our building on government business to which the female stated that she was an art student from Austria and was promoting her work. ",
"G/S Wall asked if she was actually from Israel and the female later identified as Vanina Erika DARDIC, DOB 3/5/78, stated again that she was from Austria. ",

"\n\n10. ",
"VALANSI was asked if the artwork was for sale, to which he stated “not really” that they were “promoting” their work and that it is important to artists that people like their work. ",
"VALANSI was asked if, hypothetically, someone liked his work and wanted to commission him to paint something, how would someone get in contact with him? ",
"VALANSI was very hesitant to provide a means of contact. ",
"When pressed, VALANSI provided Gainesville telephone #352-378-1435 as a contact number. ",

"Edixa Reflex\n\nThe Edixa Reflex cameras, introduced in 1954 were West Germany's most popular own series of SLR's with focal plane shutter. ",
"The original name of the first Edixa SLR was Komet. ",
"The Wirgin company had to change the name after complaints of two other companies with equally named products. ",
"Since 1955 the cameras got additional slow shutter speeds, and since 1956 cameras with aperture release shifter for the M42 lenses were available. ",
"Until 1959 four lines of Edixa SLRs were introduced:\n\nType A, with shutter speeds up to 1/1000 sec.",
"\nType B, with aperture release mechanics\nType C, with meter\nType D, with exposure times up to 9 sec.",
"\n\nIn 1960 the types B, C and D got the rapid mirror and improved shutter mechanics. ",
"Type A was replaced by the type S which had a slower shutter. ",
"A special feature of this camera series was the exchangeable viewfinder unit. ",
"A simple top-viewfinder and a pentaprism finder were available. ",
" In 1960 the Model B had a name change and became the Edixa-Mat Flex Model B, the word Reflex being shortened to Flex, and it featured shutter speeds from 1/25 to 1/1000 of a second, the instant return mirror, automatic aperture actuation and interchangeable viewfinders. ",
"The waist-level finder was standard and the pentaprism was an optional extra. ",
" The retail price in the UK in 1960 was about £48.",

"The effects of speed on skilled chess performance.",
"\nTwo types of mechanisms may underlie chess skill: fast mechanisms, such as recognition, and slow mechanisms, such as search through the space of possible moves and responses. ",
"Speed distinguishes these mechanisms, so I examined archival data on blitz chess (5 min for the whole game), in which the opportunities for search are greatly reduced. ",
"If variation in fast processes accounts for substantial variation in chess skill, performance in blitz chess should correlate highly with a player's overall skill. ",
"In addition, restricting search processes should tend to equalize skill difference between players, but this effect should decrease as overall skill level increases. ",
"Analyses of three samples of blitz chess tournaments supported both hypotheses. ",
"Search is undoubtedly important, but up to 81% of variance in chess skill (measured by rating) was accounted for by how players performed with less than 5% of the normal time available."

"Noncovalent interactions between organometallic metallocene complexes and single-walled carbon nanotubes.",

"Three composites, MCp(2)-graphene (d(t)=infinity), MCp(2)@(17,0) (d(t)=1.33 nm), and MCp(2)@(12,0) (d(t)=0.94 nm) (where M=Fe,Co), have been studied to probe the influence of the nanotube diameter (d(t)) on the nature and magnitude of the interactions. ",
"Theoretical results presented here demonstrate that these MCp(2)@SWNT composites are stabilized by weak pi-stacking and CH...pi interactions, and in the case of the CoCp(2)@SWNT composites there is an additional electrostatic contribution as a result of charge transfer from CoCp(2) to the nanotube. ",
"The extent of charge transfer (MCp(2)-->SWNT) can be rationalized in terms of the electronic structures of the two fragments, or more specifically, the relative positions of the metallocene highest occupied molecular orbital and the conduction band of the nanotube in the electronic structure of the composite."

"DELIGHTED Town manager Peter Jackson today hailed the return of young centre-back Nathan Clarke to the starting side as he set sights on a fifth successive victory at home to Torquay United on Saturday.",
"\n\nAn 89th-minute strike by Danny Schofield, his first of the season, sealed a 2-1 win at Southend, where Andy Booth scored his fourth of the campaign in first-half stoppage time to cancel out Leke Odunsi's opener less than two minutes earlier.",
"\n\nThe win, in front of 477 Town fans in an overall crowd of 4,205, was the first away from home in the League this season and the three-point haul put Jackson's side ninth in Division III, a point off the play-off zone.",
"\n\nNineteen-year-old Clarke, making his first start since last February after battling his way back to fitness after a knee operation, played a major role as part of a three centre-back system, and Jackson said: \"Clarkey was outstanding, and I'm delighted for him.",
"\n\n\"That was only his fifth game since the end of the season before last, but he looked as though he had been playing every week. ",
"He's had a bad time with injury, but he's stuck to the task and worked hard in training and it's great to have him back.\"",
"\n\nWhile Efe Sodje, as expected, came in for the suspended Paul Scott, Clarke's return to the starting XI led to David Mirfin being switched from centre-back to right wing-back in place of Andy Holdsworth.",
"\n\n\"Young Holdsworth has been doing extremely well, but we knew that on their own patch, Southend were going to be big, strong and direct,\" explained Jackson.",
"\n\n\"We felt David Mirfin had the strength, size and pace to deal with the likes of Mark Gower, Leon Constantine and Tes Bramble, and that's why we made the change.",
"\n\n\"We wanted a third straight clean sheet, and it was disappointing to concede a goal through what was basically a lack of concentration, but Andy Booth's equaliser coming so quickly gave us a real lift going back into the changing room at half-time.",
"\n\n\"We can play better than we did on Saturday, because we never really managed to get the ball down on the deck and pass it, but the result was superb.",
"\n\n\"Danny Schofield took his goal really well and the timing couldn't have been better,\" added Jackson."

"There are two primary ways by which noncustodial parents with child support orders may intersect with the criminal justice system.",
"\n\nOn one path, the noncustodial parent is not in compliance with a child support obligation and that noncompliance may lead to incarceration (short-term, primarily in local jails) as a result of either a civil contempt or criminal non-support action taken by the state.",
"\n\nThe other way is for noncustodial parents who are incarcerated for a criminal offense and have a current or delinquent child support obligation. ",
"The incarceration is not related to child support and they may be incarcerated for longer periods of time in a state or federal prison. ",
"While child support isn’t the reason for incarceration for these parents, the ongoing child support obligation has repercussions for their confinement, release and re-entry.",
"\n\nAs of Dec. 31, 2017 there were approximately 1.49 million people in federal and state prison. ",
"More than 50 percent of those inmates have one or more child under the age of 18, leaving an estimated 2.7 million children with a parent incarcerated. ",
"In addition, a 2003 study estimated that one quarter of inmates in prisons had a child support case. ",
"Based on current prison populations, this suggests that approximately 400,000 inmates have a child support case.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the federal and state prison numbers do not capture are the numbers of noncustodial parents who are incarcerated in local jails for failure to pay child support. ",
"The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that more than 730,000 individuals were incarcerated in local jails in 2013, but what’s unknown is how many of those inmates were incarcerated due to child support noncompliance. ",
"A 2009 study in South Carolina found that 13.2 percent of county jail inmates were behind bars for civil contempt related to nonpayment of child support.",
"\n\nThere is a great deal that state child support programs are currently doing to reduce the use of incarceration for child support noncompliance. ",
"The most widely developed efforts are focused on removing barriers to employment that are faced by low income and/or formerly incarcerated parents. ",
"The potential financial benefits of diverting nonpaying parents from jail into employment programs, to the family and the community at large, are significant.",
"\n\nThe distinction between those noncustodial parents who are incarcerated for failure to pay child support and those who are incarcerated for a separate criminal offense who also have child support orders is an important one. ",
"The available approaches to improving child support compliance and encouraging ongoing, consistent child support payments within these populations are very different, particularly considering the reasons for and potential length of the incarceration. ",
"Below is a further discussion of this distinction as well as the varying policy options to address the needs of both populations.",
"\n\nNew Federal Rule on Child Support\n\nIn addition, on Dec. 20, 2016, the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) published final rules updating the rules regarding child support enforcement. ",
"The rule is intended to increase the effectiveness of the child support program for all families, and provide for more flexibility in state child support programs. ",
"In an effort to accommodate the ever-changing world of technology, the rule also helps remove barriers to outdated systems to improve efficiency and simplify the process of collecting and distributing child support. ",
"While the new rule provisions are, for the most part, optional and will not require state legislation in most states, they do provide an opportunity for state legislators to clarify and shore up various child support enforcement laws.",
"\n\nThe rule specifically addresses incarcerated noncustodial parents and incarceration for failure to pay child support, as well as modification procedures for incarcerated noncustodial parents. ",
"The major provisions of the rule regarding incarcerated noncustodial parents are:\n\nIncarceration for Failure to Pay Child Support : the rule requires states to implement due process safeguards from the Supreme Court case Turner v. Rogers. ",
"The rule addresses the use of civil contempt in child support cases and seeks to reflect the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the 2011 case, Turner v. Rogers, which provided guidance on the factors to be considered when determining which cases should be referred to the court for civil contempt, including a determination of the noncustodial parent’s ability to pay.",
"\n\n: the rule requires states to implement due process safeguards from the Supreme Court case Turner v. Rogers. ",
"The rule addresses the use of civil contempt in child support cases and seeks to reflect the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the 2011 case, Turner v. Rogers, which provided guidance on the factors to be considered when determining which cases should be referred to the court for civil contempt, including a determination of the noncustodial parent’s ability to pay. ",
"Incarcerated with a Child Support Order: the rule ensures the right of all parents to seek a review of their order when their circumstances change. ",
"While these provisions apply to all parties involved, they specifically address incarcerated noncustodial parents and their ability to have the child support order reviewed and potentially modified while they are incarcerated. ",
"The rule prohibits states from treating incarceration as voluntary unemployment for purposes of modifying a child support order. ",
"Currently 36 states and D.C. treat incarceration as involuntary unemployment.",
"\n\nThe final rule made significant changes to the child support program to improve efficiency and flexibility in states. ",
"For more about the final rule, visit the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement’s Final Rule Resources webpage and NCSL’s Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) Final Rules Governing Child Support Enforcement Programs page for a rule summary.",
"\n\nIncarceration for Failure to Pay Child Support\n\nNoncustodial parents may face incarceration for failure to pay child support through civil contempt or criminal nonsupport. ",
"Civil contempt is used more commonly than criminal contempt and the sentence is typically less severe and for a shorter length of time. ",
"Many states, recognizing that no support can be paid when a noncustodial parent is incarcerated, have established programs to encourage full compliance with child support orders, both before and as a part of the civil contempt process. ",
"These programs include examining child support orders to reflect realistic amounts given the individual's circumstances and diversion programs to reduce incarceration rates and increase child support payments.",
"\n\nCriminal Nonsupport\n\nAll 50 states have processes for criminal prosecution for failure to pay child support, however, this more severe punishment is very rarely meted out. ",
"These laws generally make criminal nonsupport a felony or misdemeanor. ",
"The fines and potential prison sentences, as well as the delinquent threshold amount in order for criminal prosecution to be triggered, vary state by state.",
"\n\nSee NCSL’s Criminal Nonsupport and Child Support page for details on each states’ statute.",
"\n\nCivil Contempt\n\nEvery state has a procedure for civil contempt that may be used for violations of various court orders. ",
"Civil contempt is designed to incentivize the defendant, or obligor in the case of child support, to comply with the court order. ",
"While incarceration is certainly an option when a child support obligor is noncompliant, civil contempt is not intended to punish the defendant, rather, it is intended to prompt compliance with the court’s order.",
"\n\nFederal law, according to U.S. Supreme Court case Turner v. Rogers, requires that civil contempt only be used when the noncustodial parent has the ability to pay and is willfully avoiding paying. ",
"State policies and practices vary in regards to how this limitation is implemented by the state child support agency. ",
"With noncustodial parents who are simply unable to pay their child support obligation, diversion or employment programs could have a significant impact in improving the likelihood of payment. ",
"The new federal rule, discussed above, seeks to shore up the due process requirements from Turner v. Rogers, by providing guidance on the factors to be considered when determining which cases should be referred to the court for civil contempt, including a determination of the noncustodial parent’s ability to pay.",
"\n\nSome may see diversion or employment programs as letting the delinquent obligor off the hook, however, parents are generally ordered into these programs by the courts and may still face a period of incarceration for failing to follow the rules of the diversion program. ",
"For example, Georgia enacted house bill 310 during the 2015 legislative session to allow for a county diversion program for delinquent obligors who are in contempt of court. ",
"There are rules of the diversion program and “If the respondent fails to comply with any of the requirements…nothing shall prevent the sentencing judge from revoking such assignment to a diversion program and providing for alternative methods of incarceration.”",
"\n\nDiversion programs may reduce the number of non-custodial parents in jail, as well as increase the receipt of child support, reduce reliance on public assistance and save money from the reduced jail population. (",
"See below for a discussion of state diversion programs). ",
"The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement also has an infographic comparing job services to jail.",
"\n\nThe majority of states use civil contempt to enforce child support orders, though limited data is available on how often it is used and the costs associated with subsequent incarceration.",
"\n\nState Programs\n\nState Diversion Programs\n\nIn addition to the legislation described above, Georgia has a series of problem solving courts, also called Parental Accountability Courts, which seek to remove barriers to non-payment of child support, such as unemployment, substance abuse, low level education. ",
"The overarching goal of these courts is to keep people out of jail for failing to pay child support, and to obtain support payments.",
"\n\n2015 Georgia HB 310: Creates a diversion center for child support obligors who have been sentenced for contempt of court for failure to pay child support. ",
"Allows people in the diversion program to travel to and from his or her place of employment and to continue his or her occupation. ",
"Details the requirements of traveling while in the diversion program. ",
"Requires the obligor to remain in the diversion center for the duration of the sentence, with the exception of traveling to and from work. ",
"Requires the obligor to pay alimony or child support as previously ordered, including arrears. ",
"Allows the obligor to participate in educational or counseling programs offered at the diversion center. ",
"Any additional funds that are available will go towards reimbursing the center for the cost (not to exceed $30 per day) of maintaining the obligor. ",
"Allows for alternative methods of incarceration if the obligor does not comply with the detailed requirements.",
"\n\n2015 Louisiana HCR 175: Urges and requests that the Department of Public Safety and Corrections make recommendations for the development of a work release program which would be suited for individuals convicted of offenses involving the failure to pay child support in order to facilitate employment and the fulfillment of child support obligations, and make recommendations to the Louisiana Legislature prior to the convening of the 2016 Regular Session.",
"\n\nTexas NCP Choices Program is a court diversion program that assists unemployed or underemployed noncustodial parents find and maintain employment. ",
"Program participants must spend 30 hours a week looking for a job, meet with the Workforce Counselor every week until employment is found, attend all court hearings and program appointments, comply with the child support order and stay in communication with their Workforce Counselor monthly following employment.",
"\n\nA 2011 report on the impact of the NCP Choices Program showed the following results:\n\nParticipants paid $57 more child support 47 percent more often, showing a 51 percent increase in total collections. ",
"These results continued for 2-4 years after programs participation.",
"\n\nParticipants paid their child support 50 percent more consistently over time\n\nParticipants were employed at 21 percent higher rates than non-participants, an effect that also persisted at least two to four years after the program\n\nParticipants were about one third less likely to file an unemployment claim in any given month in the first year after the program\n\nThe custodial parents associated with NCP Choices participants were 21 percent less likely to receive TANF benefits in the first year after the program, and 29 percent less likely two to four years after the program.",
"\n\nVirginia’s Intensive Case Monitoring Program (ICMP) was established by the Virginia General Assembly in 2008 (HB 1257). ",
"ICMP is a diversion/referral program for noncustodial parents following an administrative determination or order of the court. ",
"If a parent is in court for failure to pay child support, they may be referred to ICMP for case monitoring and referral services. ",
"The program then refers participants to “(i) employment services, to include employment assessment, employment search, and employment training; (ii) family services, including parenting skills, co-parenting skills, and relationship-building activities for parents and children; (iii) educational services, including GED preparation and GED testing; (iv) housing services, including referrals to organizations that operate shelters and provide subsidies; (v) document assistance, including referrals to organizations and assistance in securing vital records, driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, or other documents; and (vi) social services, health and mental health services, substance abuse services, or other services that may be necessary to enable the person to pay child support owed in the future.” ",
"Of the 979 program participants since ICMP was first enacted, 326 have graduated, 277 are still active and 376 were dropped for noncompliance with program requirements. ",
"Further, through December 2011, the program had collected over $3 million dollars, showing significant increases in average monthly child support payments among all three groups.",
"\n\nIn Seattle, Wash., the King County Prosecutor’s Office operates a Navigator Program consisting of two full-time paralegals who are there to assist parents “navigate” the child support system. ",
"The navigator program is voluntary and open to parents who are involved in the Family Support Division’s Contempt of Court Unit or those who have been referred by the Division of Child Support because they are in search of employment or educational and training opportunities. ",
"The navigators connect parents with community partners who can assist the parents with obtaining housing, food and utilities.",
"\n\nSimilar to the King County Prosecutor’s Office’s Navigator Program, the Washington State Division Child Support operates a program called Alternative Solutions. ",
"Alternative Solutions is a statewide program that seeks to connect parents with over 3,500 community resources across the state. ",
"These community resources are available to help parents with finding a job, training, housing, food, medical care or legal resources. ",
"In addition, the program can assist parents with lowering child support payments, reducing state-owed debt, and other case management actions, such as getting a suspended driver’s license back.",
"\n\nOrder Establishment\n\nIn addition to diversion and work release programs, states have also looked at the ways in which child support orders are established to ensure child support obligations are being calculated, as federal law requires, on the noncustodial parent’s ability to pay. ",
"State efforts to establish orders that reflect a parent’s current earnings are designed to promote regular payment of support and reduce the likelihood a parent will fall behind on child support and accrue debt.",
"\n\nThe federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) has a Project to Avoid Increasing Delinquencies (PAID) resource with various fact sheets addressing this issue.",
"\n\nIncarcerated with Child Support Order\n\nThe other population of incarcerated noncustodial parents are those who are in prison for criminal offenses not involving child support and who have current and/or delinquent child support orders. ",
"On average, an incarcerated parent with a child support order has the potential to leave prison with nearly $20,000 in child support debt, having entered the system with around half that amount owed.",
"\n\nAccording to 2013 data from the Bureau of Justice:\n\n46 percent of incarcerated parents have HS diploma or equivalent, as compared to 82% of men ages 18-34\n\nNearly 60 percent of black men who are high school dropouts have done time by their mid-30s\n\nAbout two-thirds of people in prison or jail were employed at least part time before arrest with a median income of less than $1000 per month.",
"\n\nIn addition, in Illinois in 2013:\n\nThere was 5,589 active orders for currently incarcerated noncustodial parents involved in the IV-D child support program with 6,646 cases\n\nThere was $986,000 in new current support debt per month with more than $97.4 million in accumulated debt.",
"\n\nThere was 15,387 current or formerly incarcerated parents in the Illinois IV-D caseload\n\n41 percent of those incarcerated parents had an average income of $10,136 per year prior to incarceration\n\nThe remaining 59 percent had no reported income prior to incarceration.",
"\n\nModification during Incarceration\n\nWhether a parent is incarcerated or not, a material and substantial change in circumstances is required to modify child support orders in the majority of jurisdictions. ",
"Two situations that may be treated as a material and substantial change in circumstances are incarceration and unemployment.",
"\n\nSome states allow incarceration to be considered a substantial change in circumstances allowing for modification while others do not allow incarceration alone to be a sufficient reason for modification and would require other circumstances to be shown in order to modify. ",
"State policies regarding modification of child support during incarceration vary and depend on a number of factors.",
"\n\nA significant reduction in income due to a job loss or job change is generally considered a material and substantial change for purposes of modifying child support, as long as the job loss or reduction in earnings was involuntary. ",
"Conversely, voluntary un- or underemployment in order to avoid payment of child support is not considered to be a material and substantial change of circumstances and therefore does not warrant consideration for modifying child support.",
"\n\nApproximately 40 states and D.C. currently treat imprisonment as involuntary unemployment which means the obligor could request a modification. ",
"Certain exceptions to this determination exist if the reason for the incarceration is related to the failure to pay child support or avoidance of child support. ",
"A small number of states treat incarceration as voluntary unemployment because the crime, which led to the inability to work or pay child support, is considered a voluntary act. ",
"As such, modification of child support during incarceration is not allowed in those states. ",
"The new federal rule, discussed above, prohibits state child support programs from treating incarceration as voluntary unemployment, allowing for modification of child support orders during incarceration.",
"\n\nThe states that allow for modification during incarceration generally require the noncustodial parent to be proactive in making that request. ",
"This process requires the incarcerated parent to know of the modification procedure and access the necessary resources in order to obtain timely modification. ",
"Most recently, however, California passed legislation which requires the suspension of a child support order to occur automatically when an obligor is incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized. ",
"In addition. ",
"Vermont and Wisconsin allow the child support agency to file a motion to modify the child support orders of incarcerated obligors.",
"\n\nThe federal Office of Child Support Enforcement has a State-by-State-How to Change a Child Support Order page to inform child support obligors and state policymakers on the available resources and processes involved.",
"\n\nState Programs\n\nModification of Child Support Orders during Incarceration\n\nAt least 20 states have statutory provisions addressing the modification or suspension of child support during periods of incarceration, or the treatment of incarceration as voluntary or involuntary unemployment. ",
"California and Texas enacted legislation in 2015, while the federal rule was being considered:\n\n2015 California AB 610: Requires the suspension of a child support order to occur by operation of law when an obligor is incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized. ",
"Creates an exception to the automatic suspension of child support orders to include obligors who are incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized for domestic violence or failure to pay child support. ",
"Authorizes the local child support agency to administratively adjust account balances for child support cases managed by the agency if the agency verifies that arrears and interest were accrued in violation of these provisions, that specified conditions relating to the obligor's inability to pay while incarcerated and the underlying offense for which he or she was incarcerated do not exist, and neither the obligor nor the obligee object to the adjustment. ",
"Details the procedures for notifying the obligor and obligee about the suspension or adjustment of the child support order. ",

"High dose-intense chemotherapy alone or in combination with interleukin-2 for small cell lung cancer: a pilot study.",
"\nGiven the antitumor activity of interleukin-2 (IL-2) against some drug-resistant cancer cells, 17 previously untreated patients with small cell lung cancer entered a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and immunological effects of combining 12-week high dose-intense chemotherapy based on a modified Evans regimen (CAV/PE) with different IL-2 schedules (6-12 MU/m2 week as a 48-72-h infusion using the same cumulative dose, 72 MU/m2). ",
"Despite significant myelotoxicity, up to 70% of the intended dose intensity was delivered, showing no differences with regard to the IL-2 schedule used. ",
"Immunotherapy-induced toxicity was usually mild and manageable. ",
"No limiting effects were observed in patients receiving immunotherapy except for a very poor compliance to the 12-week IL-2 regimen. ",
"The low-dose 72-h infusion was the optimal IL-2 schedule. ",
"As given in this study, neither of the alternating CAV/PE regimens abrogated the effects of IL-2 on T-cell and NK-cell subsets, showing typical kinetics with rebound in lymphocytes following each discontinuation of the IL-2. ",
"While immunological changes cannot predict the antitumor effect of IL-2, they are consistent with those described for IL-2 alone, suggesting its compatibility with high dose-intense chemotherapy. ",
"Although no definite advantages have been demonstrated in this small pilot study with significant unbalanced prognostic factors (12% 2-year survival), both the preserved immunostimulatory effects and the lack of limiting overlapping toxicity make this combined approach promising and worthy of further clinical investigation."

"\n\nA:\n\nSince change of $x$ to $-x$ and $y$ to $-y$ leaves the curves invariant, they symmetric in all quadrant. ",
"So consider only the first quadrant where $x,y \\ge 0$.\n(1) The first figure is bounded by four lines: $ x=0, y=0, x=1$ and $y=1$. Finally it is\na square with corners $(1,1), (-1,1), (-1,-1),(1,-1)$. So, it is a region with all points inside it and hence it is full grey.",
"\n(2) Similarly, $max{|x|,|y|} \\ge 2$ indicates all points outside the square with corners $(2,2),(-2,2),(-2,-2),(2,-2)$ and $max{|x|,|y|}\\le 4$ means all points inside the square with corners $(4,4),{-4,4),(-4,-4),(4,-4)$. So the required area is the overlap of these two squares and it is greyed..\nFinally, required region is the union of these two grey regions. ",

"But that analysis did not include about $71,000 that Ferdinand now earns from Atlanta for collecting a special 911 emergency services assessment on Atlanta property owners. ",
"It also did not include the fees that Ferdinand began earning in 2017 from the new city of South Fulton for collecting its taxes.",

"The tax commissioner’s office does us a huge service.”",

"The cities pay the county, not Steele.",
"\n\nOn the other hand, Fulton County charges six cities 1% of their tax collections for the county’s administrative overhead, without calculating the exact cost of the service. ",
"Ferdinand collects and keeps an additional $1 per parcel for four of these cities on top of the county charge. ",
"Nine cities in the county choose to bill their own taxes.",
"\n\nNew contract, new fee\n\nDuring much of the time that Ferdinand has grown his compensation from $70,000 to nearly $500,000 — an increase of 600 percent — the Legislature has made halting efforts to curb or abolish tax commissioner fees.",
"\n\nWhen the city of Sandy Springs was established in the mid-2000s, Ferdinand approached the new city with a personal contract and fee of $26,000 to collect the city’s taxes. ",
"Longtime former city attorney and and state legislator Wendell Willard was flabbergasted by Ferdinand’s ask given that the tax commissioner collected the county taxes for no fee before the city was incorporated.",
"\n\n» RELATED: Georgia's elected tax commissioners get thousands in undeclared 'fees'\n\n» MAP: At least 48 Georgia tax commissioners boost salaries through fees\n\nIn 2007, Willard set out to abolish the fee system throughout Georgia but encountered stiff opposition from tax commissioners and other lawmakers who they lobbied to oppose regulation. ",
"The resulting bill required contracts for city tax collection to be negotiated through the county, thereby making the arrangements more transparent. ",
"But the legislation exempted all but the largest counties and preserved the ability of tax commissioners to negotiate a separate fee for themselves from the cities.",
"\n\nIn 2013, Ferdinand angered some taxpayers — and lawmakers — when the AJC reported that he was aggressively selling delinquent tax liens to a private debt collector — and pocketing a $.50 fee on each transaction.",
"\n\nCritics said the practice gave Ferdinand a financial incentive to sell the liens, and lawmakers vowed to stop it. ",
"Some also tried once again to make the Fulton tax commissioner an appointed, rather than elected, position and limit the job’s compensation.",
"\n\nThe proposal never passed. ",
"And the Legislature did not succeed in abolishing fees collected on tax liens until 2017, which cut Ferdinand’s compensation by up to $31,000.",
"\n\n» MORE: 'Something is out of whack': Lawmakers skeptical of tax officials' fees\n\n» FROM 2017: High pay of tax collectors in DeKalb and Fulton questioned\n\nUnbeknownst to most taxpayers, however, Ferdinand was already benefiting from a new fee from the city of Atlanta even as the controversy over the lien fees was percolating in the General Assembly.",
"\n\nIn 2015, Atlanta assessed property owners a new fee to generate more revenue for its 911 emergency call center, which was operating at a deficit.",
"\n\nFerdinand began collecting the 911 service fee from property owners — and pocketing $.50 from each residential and commercial parcel. ",
"The assessment, $26 for single-family residential owners and $307 for others, was added to an existing garbage collection bill that Ferdinand was already collecting for the city.",
"\n\nThe fee generates about $71,000 in extra income for Ferdinand and is more than twice what the tax commissioner lost when the Legislature took away his ability to earn fees from selling tax liens.",
"\n\nAtlanta could hire two 911 dispatchers for what it pays Ferdinand to collect the assessment.",
"\n\n\"If the people want to elect someone who's immoral, that's democracy. ... ",

"And the people keep voting him in office.\" — ",
"R.J. Morris, who ran against Arthur Ferdinand in 2012\n\n\n\nLora Hawk, an Atlanta resident, was unaware a portion of the 911 fee she pays contributes to the tax commissioner’s income.",
"\n\nWhile she thinks the tax commissioner and his office employees should be well-paid, she doesn’t understand why Ferdinand’s “already inflated salary” has increased even more.",
"\n\n“You’re essentially padding the pocket of an individual to provide basic emergency services for people,” Hawk said. “",
"You have to question (the) systems and serve your moral compass.”",
"\n\n‘This is an embarrassment’\n\nFollowing the AJC's reporting on the fee system in June, which revealed that dozens of other Georgia tax commissioners also collect fees, some current and former state lawmakers said the Legislature should once again attempt to curb or eliminate it.",
"\n\n“I encourage my friends who followed me in the Legislature to pick up the baton and run with it and set aside this ancient practice for good,” said former Atlanta Rep. Edward Lindsey, who co-sponsored the bill to change the Fulton County tax commissioner’s elected position to an appointed one in 2013. “",
"This is an embarrassment, and it’s a relic of an ancient past.”",
"\n\n» FROM 2014: Fulton tax chief takes federal farm dollars, too\n\n» MORE: Top aides benefit as Kemp shuffles pay structure in governor's office\n\nFulton County District 2 Commissioner Bob Ellis told the AJC that there won’t be a fix until the state decides to say: “This is what it’s going to be and that form of compensation is disallowed.”",
"\n\nFulton County voters have also been reluctant to challenge Ferdinand over the past two decades. ",
"Ferdinand ran unopposed in 2004, 2008 and 2016.",
"\n\nIn 2012, two Fulton County taxpayers stepped up to run against Ferdinand after feeling that the tax commissioner had wronged them by selling tax liens on their properties too quickly.",
"\n\nBoth candidates pledged not to take fees and be less aggressive about selling tax liens to debt collectors. ",
"Both lost.",
"\n\nR. J. Morris, one of the candidates, said Ferdinand’s high collection rate earns him the support of government officials, who need the funds he collects for public projects. ",
"Voters don’t understand the behind-the-scenes complexities of the tax system, Morris said.",
"\n\n“If the people want to elect someone who’s immoral, that’s democracy,” said Morris, who also served two years on the Fulton County Board of Assessors. “",
"This stuff about Ferdinand has been known for a decade or more. ",
"And the people keep voting him in office — not just voting him in barely. ",
"He wins through landslides.”",
"\n\nIn the meantime, Fulton cities such as Atlanta will keep paying Ferdinand what he asks.",
"\n\n“Right now, it’s allowed in law,” Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore said. “",
"As long as he has the ability to do that, and if the city wants to use his service, then we need to pay that fee. ",
"If it changes, I’d be happy with that, too.”",

"Today’s story breaks down Ferdinand’s total compensation for 2018, which is about $100,000 more than the AJC reported in 2017 and the highest of any elected official in Georgia.",
"\n\nHow we got the story\n\nReporting for this story grew out of a five-month investigation by the Georgia News Lab, a collaborative investigative reporting initiative at the Center for Sustainable Journalism at Kennesaw State University and supported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News. ",
"The News Lab investigation examined how Georgia's 159 counties collect taxes, and identified at least 48 county tax commissioners who earn a personal fee for collecting a city's taxes. ",
"The investigation was the first comprehensive examination of the fee system statewide, and built on previous AJC/Channel 2 reporting on the fee income earned by Fulton County Tax Commissioner Arthur Ferdinand and DeKalb County Tax Commissioner Irvin Johnson. ",
"In reporting on fees statewide, News Lab journalists learned that Ferdinand was earning more in fees than had been previously reported, including a commission from the city of Atlanta for collecting a 911 emergency services assessment. ",
"Reporters obtained records of payments to Ferdinand from Fulton County, the county's 15 cities, along with contracts between the tax commissioner and cities with which he has agreements. ",
"Ferdinand canceled one interview and did not respond to requests to comment for this story. ",
"Reporters Erin Schilling, Ashley Soriano and Anila Yoganathan are AJC summer interns and, along with classmate Kaley Lefevre and other classmates, reported the original News Lab investigation."

"\n\nA:\n\nHere you have two options(both will work):\nOption1: build a promise chain which is calling getUserDetails in myService .getCountryDetails.then, then you don't have to change the logic of getUserDetails\nOption2: use Promise.all which will turn your getCountryDetails and getUserDetails to parallel and this way you can call vm.onCountryChange(vm.user.country.id) at Promise.all(p1, p2).then instead of at myService.getUserDetails(paramData).then\n\n"

"Q:\n\nSpeeding up export of a matrix to a dat file\n\nI'm trying to export a 1000*100 matrix of numbers to a .dat file using Export (I want the numbers to be separated by a tab) and it's very slow, it takes several minutes, whereas when I export to an Excel file it takes a few seconds. ",
"\nIs there a way to speed this up ?",
"\nAlso how can I control the number of decimals I want to export ?",
"\nEdit\nI found the issue, this happens when I export my dat file on a network drive (at work), the export to an Excel file and a dat file must be implemented in different ways that produce different behaviours. ",
"Thank you though for the different interesting answers.",
"\n\nA:\n\nI suggest you watch the presentation BigData: Demystifying Large Datasets in Mathematica\nby Nick Lariviere. ",
" He discusses the various possibilities quite clearly.",
"\n\nA:\n\nTo answer your second question, to control the number of decimals of the exported data you could change the accuracy of your data using SetAccuracy. ",
"For example if you only want to export the first two decimals of each entry you could do something like\ndata = RandomReal[20, {1000, 100}];\nExport[\"test.dat\", SetAccuracy[data, 3]]\n\nA:\n\nI cannot reproduce your behavior here. ",

",
"\nExport[\"tmp/matrix.dat\", data, \"TSV\"]\n\nMy sample shows, that you can basically use every desired line/field separator you like.",
"\nHeike gave the answer to your second question. ",
"I would like to point out, that you might lose information because real numbers are usually stored with $MachinePrecision. ",
"When you use now SetAccuracy or SetPrecision you cut them off. ",
"There is usually only one situation where you want this: When you look at the numbers. ",
"I suspect you are looking at a $1000\\times 100$ matrix, so why do you want to cut your numbers? ",

"Facebook is adjusting the algorithm that runs the News Feed to promote posts from friends and family members over posts from publishers, the company said today. ",
"This marks the second time in recent years that Facebook has committed publicly to tilting the feed to posts from people you know in real life. ",
"In April of last year, Facebook announced it was rebalancing the feed in ways likely to reduce the reach of publishers like The Verge. ",
"And indeed, many publishers did see a decline in the reach of the articles they posted to Facebook over the past year. ",
"At the same time, Facebook began heavily promoting publishers' video content, opening up new avenues for them to grow.",
"\n\nThe move matters because Facebook has become a dominant force in the distribution of news globally, with many publishers (The Verge included) relying on it for a significant amount of the traffic they receive. ",
"Publishers that find they are unable to reach their audiences on Facebook risk seeing a collapse in their advertising-based business models. ",
"And Facebook's decisions dictate not just which content is viewed but what kinds of content are created. ",
"When the company declared last year that the News Feed would gradually transform into a feed of videos, publishers (The Verge included) scrambled to hire directors and producers to fill the channel.",
"\n\nFacebook dictates not just which content is viewed but which content is created\n\nThe technical change this time around is that Facebook will favor links shared by your friends and family over links that publishers place directly into the News Feed through their pages. ",
"The Verge will share this post on its Facebook page, but that will matter less than if large numbers of people paste this link into a new post on Facebook to share it with their friends directly. (",
"Did you know there is a new Chrome extension from Facebook that will do that for you?) ",
"On its face, the move seems likely to favor buzzy, water-cooler chatter over, say, the often mundane proceedings of your state and local governments, or the policy discussions that will shape the future of the internet.",
"\n\nIn a blog post, a News Feed executive said today's changes reflect the company's ambition to curate a perfect collection of stories for each of Facebook's 1.09 billion daily active users. \"",
"Our success is built on getting people the stories that matter to them most,\" said Adam Mosseri, vice president of product management at Facebook. \"",
"If you could look through thousands of stories every day and choose the 10 that were most important to you, which would they be? ",
"The answer should be your News Feed. ",
"It is subjective, personal, and unique — and defines the spirit of what we hope to achieve.\"",
"\n\nThe News Feed, which was introduced a decade ago, has become synonymous with Facebook and is by far the company's most lucrative product, thanks to the targeted advertising that appears there. ",
"It has two priorities, Mosseri says: to inform and to entertain. ",
"He laid out five values for the feed: friends and family come first; it's a platform for all ideas; it shouldn't contain fake, spammy, or sensationalist stories; you control what appears in your feed; and it will evolve over time.",
"\n\n\"We are not in the business of picking which issues the world should read about.\"",
"\n\nThe discussion of values is notable given the controversy last month over which stories were and were not included in Facebook's Trending Topics module. \"",
"We are not in the business of picking which issues the world should read about,\" Mosseri said. \"",
"We are in the business of connecting people and ideas — and matching people with the stories they find most meaningful.\" ",
"Of course, the difference between connecting people and ideas and picking which issues the world should read about can be vanishingly small. ",
"How do you connect a person with an idea without first picking the idea?",
"\n\nFacebook would rather rely on signals such as \"how many comments is this story getting\" and \"how quickly are people sharing it\" than on editorial guidelines that attempt to sort stories by their significance. ",
"In part, this is because developing a sense of news judgment for every city on the planet is a daunting task. ",
"Facebook's ultimate measure of success is not whether people have an accurate picture of the world around them — it's whether people spend more time in the News Feed.",
"\n\nThe question — if you're a dedicated consumer of news, or someone who publishes it — is whether the News Feed's priorities are diverging from your own. ",
"Last month I had a long conversation with Will Cathcart, another Facebook vice president, about the company's relationship with the news. ",
"My takeaway is that while Facebook is committed to users feeling informed, it's not interested in whether they're actually informed. ",
"The company asks people who get their news from Facebook whether they feel informed by stories, for example, but it does not quiz them to see what knowledge they have retained. (",
"Admittedly this gets into certain questions of epistemology that neither tech companies nor mainstream news outlets have ever been very successful at resolving!)",
"\n\nMosseri concludes his post by saying the News Feed is only \"1 percent finished.\" ",
"This is boilerplate in Silicon Valley, where it is always early days for everything, but in this case I hope he's right. ",
"The perfect News Feed ought to do more than give you a fuzzy sense of satisfaction that you are more \"informed.\" ",
"It should actually, measurably make you smarter about the world around you. ",
"And on that subject, here in the 1 percent days, Facebook remains stubbornly indifferent.",
"\n\nHow Facebook decides what’s trending"

"800 (1987)\n363 S.E.2d 2\nBUFFINGTON\nv.\nSASSER.",
"\n74758.",
"\nCourt of Appeals of Georgia.",
"\nDecided September 22, 1987.",
"\nRehearing Denied November 6, 1987.",
"\nGlenville Haldi, for appellant.",
"\nThomas J. Wingfield III, Herman L. Fussell, John P. Gallagher, for appellee.",
"\nBANKE, Presiding Judge.",
"\nPrior to 1972, appellant Robert Buffington and appellee Robert Sasser owned and operated separate mechanical subcontracting businesses known, respectively, as Dresco Mechanical Contractors, Inc., and Sasser and Company. ",
"The complicated factual scenario giving rise to this litigation had its genesis in 1972, when Buffington and Sasser entered into a joint venture which they incorporated as Dresco Corporation. ",
"Buffington served as the new company's president and Sasser as its vice-president and chief operating officer. ",
"Dresco Corporation took over no business already undertaken by its principals' existing companies, which continued in operation as before.",
"\nDresco Corporation undertook several projects, among them a subcontract to perform certain mechanical work in connection with a construction project at Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, Georgia (hereafter referred to as the \"Milledgeville project\"). ",
"However, shortly after beginning work on this project, the parties decided to terminate their joint venture; and in October of 1972 they entered into a written agreement to that effect. ",
"Pursuant to this agreement, the remaining work which the joint venture had undertaken to perform was divided between Buffington and his corporation on the one hand and Sasser and his corporation on the other, with the Milledgeville project being assigned to Buffington and his company, Dresco Mechanical Contractors, Inc. Each party agreed to indemnify the other for any liability arising out of the completion of the various projects assigned to them. ",
"Buffington's agreement to indemnify Sasser (which was to become the subject of the present litigation) specifically provided as follows: \"Buffington and Dresco Mechanical agree to indemnify and save harmless Sasser & Company, Inc., Sasser and Dresco Corp. from any and all liabilities and responsibility for or arising out of the subcontracts, purchase orders and projects herein assigned to Dresco Mechanical, whether such liability and responsibility exists now or arises in the future, and do further agree to indemnify and save harmless Sasser & Company, Inc., Sasser and Dresco Corp. from any and all liability and responsibility for or arising out of: (a) any performance or payment bonds issued in connection with ... construction of ... [the Milledgeville project].\"",
"\nIn 1976, Buffington and Dresco Mechanical Contractors, Inc., (hereafter sometimes referred to together as \"Buffington\") were named along with Sasser, Sasser and Company, Inc., and Dresco Corporation (hereafter sometimes collectively referred to as \"Sasser\") as third-party defendants in a federal court lawsuit stemming from the Milledgeville project. ",
"In that litigation, Sasser filed a cross claim against Buffington, asserting that the termination agreement required *801 Buffington to indemnify him against any liability with which he might be charged in the suit. ",
"The federal court granted summary judgment to Sasser on this cross-claim, concluding that \"the assignees [i.e., Buffington] must stand ready to indemnify the movants against any loss suffered in the litigation.\" ",
"Both parties were, however, subsequently dismissed without prejudice from the federal litigation.",
"\nDuring the course of the federal litigation, Sasser was represented by the law firm of Stokes and Shapiro. ",
"Buffington initially had other counsel; however, it appears that at some point during the proceedings the firm of Stokes and Shapiro also began representing Buffington, pursuant to the parties' express consent to such dual representation. ",
"Also, it appears that Buffington settled an unrelated claim against an unrelated party during the pendency of the federal litigation, resulting in his placement of $34,781.97 in escrow with Stokes and Shapiro, \"to be applied against any judgment, settlement or agreement of settlement between [Buffington] and Sasser and Sasser & Company.\"",
"\nAfter Buffington and Sasser had been dismissed from the federal litigation without an adjudication of liability, Sasser demanded that Buffington reimburse him for his legal expenses incurred in defending the federal suit. ",
"When Buffington refused, Sasser filed the present suit in the Superior Court of Fulton County to recover such attorney fees from the money being held in the escrow account, naming both Buffington and Stokes and Shapiro as defendants. ",
"Stokes and Shapiro responded by filing a counterclaim against Sasser as well as a cross-claim against Buffington in the nature of an interpleader, in an effort to determine its responsibilities regarding disbursement of the escrow funds.",
"\nBuffington moved to transfer the case to the Superior Court of Forsyth County, contending that venue was not proper in Fulton County. ",
"The trial court denied the motion, and we denied a subsequent application by Buffington for interlocutory appeal review of that ruling. ",
"The trial court later ruled in favor of Sasser on the merits of the case by granting his motion for summary judgment and denying a motion of summary judgment filed by Buffington. ",
"This appeal followed. ",
"Held:\n1. ",
"The motion to transfer the proceedings based on improper venue was correctly denied. ",
"Although the only named defendant residing in Fulton County was the law firm of Stokes & Shapiro, which was sued solely as a stakeholder, the plaintiff, Sasser, was also a resident of Fulton County. ",
"In Williams v. Overstreet, 230 Ga. 112 (195 SE2d 906) (1973), the Supreme Court held that an action of this sort is properly brought in the county in which the stakeholder is subject to suit, where the stakeholder's response is in the nature of an interpleader and where one of the claimants to the fund is also a resident *802 of that county, even if the other claimants reside in different counties. ",
"More recently, in Kelly v. C & S Nat. ",
"Bank, 160 Ga. App. ",
"405 (1) (287 SE2d 343) (1981), this court held that venue in an action where there is a counterclaim, cross-claim or third-party claim for interpleader is proper in any county where at least one of the claimants to the fund resides.",
"\nBuffington's reliance on Currahee Constr. ",
"Co. v. Rabun County School Dist., ",
"180 Ga. App. ",
"471 (349 SE2d 487) (1986), for a contrary result is misplaced. ",
"In Currahee, the plaintiff sued a construction company and its \"builder's risk\" insurance carrier in Rabun County, the situs of the insured property, and sought to bring in the nonresident construction company as a joint obligor under the authority of OCGA § 9-10-31 and Art. ",
"VI, Sec. ",
"II, Par. ",
"IV of the Georgia Constitution. ",
"We held that the defendants were not jointly obligated and that the construction company consequently could not be sued in Rabun County because the alleged injuries and causes of action were different, the cause of action against the insurance carrier being in contract and the cause of action against the construction company being in tort. ",
"That case has no application to the present case, where venue is based not on joint liability but on the separate legal principles applicable to interpleader actions. ",
"Applying the rationale of Williams, supra, and Kelly, supra, we hold that the motion to transfer was properly denied.",
"\n2. ",
"Buffington contends that the enforceability of any obligation to indemnify Sasser which he may have acquired as a result of the termination agreement was contingent upon the entry of a judgment against Sasser in favor of a third party and that, because no such judgment or settlement was ever obtained against Sasser in the federal action, he (Buffington) is consequently entitled to summary judgment in the present action. ",
"This claim is without merit. ",
"OCGA § 51-12-32 (c) provides that, \"[w]ithout the necessity of being charged by an action or judgment, the right of indemnity, express or implied, from another or others shall continue unabated and shall not be lost or prejudiced by compromise and settlement of a claim....\" Accord Independent Mfg. ",
"Co. v. Automotive Prods., ",
"141 Ga. App. ",
"518 (1) (233 SE2d 874) (1977) (permitting a cause of action for indemnity to be maintained prior to judgment); Robert & Co. Assoc. ",
"v. Pinkerton & Laws Co., 120 Ga. App. ",
"29, 33 (169 SE2d 360) (1969) (holding that a judgment fixing liability is not an absolute condition precedent to the enforcement of a contract of indemnity). ",
"Based on these authorities, we hold that the trial court was correct in ruling that it was not necessary that a prior judgment have been entered against Sasser as a condition precedent to his right to enforce Buffington's indemnity obligations under the termination agreement. ",
"It follows that Buffington's *803 motion for summary judgment on this basis was properly denied.",
"\n3. ",
"Buffington asserts, on three separate grounds, that the trial court erred in granting Sasser's motion for summary judgment. ",
"Initially, he submits that there exists a factual dispute as to whether the termination agreement ever became enforceable, due to Sasser's non-performance of an alleged obligation under that agreement to effect the transfer of the Milledgeville project subcontract from Dresco Corporation to Buffington and Dresco Mechanical Contractors, Inc. This interpretation of the agreement is, however, contradicted by its clear and unambiguous language, which obligated Buffington, rather than Sasser, to use his best efforts to effect such an assignment of the Milledgeville project subcontract. ",
"We find no evidence of any nonperformance on Sasser's part which would excuse Buffington from the performance of his contractual obligations under the termination agreement.",
"\nBuffington secondly asserts the defenses of payment, release, novation, and accord and satisfaction, based on certain language appearing in a settlement agreement executed by the parties to the federal litigation, specifying that any right of recovery Sasser and Buffington might have against each other was to be contingent upon a recovery by the plaintiff in that action. ",
"However, that settlement agreement, which has been made a part of the record in the present action, also contains a reservation of rights clause specifying that any existing right of recovery Sasser might have against Buffington was not to be diminished as a result of the agreement.",
"\n\"There is no better settled rule as to the construction of contracts than that where the construction of any part is involved in doubt, an understanding of its meaning is to be sought in the light afforded by the meaning of all the other parts of the instrument. ",
"Even if one part of the contract is somewhat repugnant to the remaining portions, the true meaning of the contract as a whole is to be ascertained and enforced.\" ",
"Federal Rubber Co. v. King, 12 Ga. App. ",
"261, 263 (76 SE 1083) (1912). ",
"See also OCGA § 13-2-2 (4). ",
"Construing the two contractual provisions in question as being harmonious rather than repugnant, it is clear that the provision making Sasser's future right of recovery against Buffington contingent upon a recovery by the plaintiff in the federal litigation applied only to such future claims as Sasser might have against Buffington as the result of the outcome of that action, whereas the reservation of rights provision applied to any existing right of recovery Sasser already had against Buffington at the time the agreement was signed. ",
"The claim asserted by Sasser in the present litigation for indemnification of the costs incurred in defending the federal lawsuit obviously was already existing and liquidated at the time the settlement agreement in the federal *804 action was executed, and it was in no way dependent on the validity or future enforceability of any claim asserted by the plaintiff in that action. ",
"It follows that the claim asserted by Sasser in the present case was not extinguished or diminished by the settlement agreement.",
"\nFinally, Buffington contends that the indemnity clause contained in the termination agreement contravenes public policy and is unenforceable. ",
"In this regard, he relies on OCGA § 13-8-2 (b), which specifies that a provision in a construction contract purporting to indemnify the promisee against damages resulting solely from his own negligence is against public policy. ",
"However, the indemnity clause at issue here purports merely to \"indemnify and save harmless [Sasser] from any and all liabilities and responsibility arising out of the sub-contracts....\" It does not expressly apply to damage caused by Sasser's own negligence, nor is such indemnification sought in the present action.",
"\nWe must seek to construe the contract so as to uphold it in its totality. ",
"See OCGA § 13-2-2 (4). \"",
"It is not to be presumed that people intend to violate the law, and the language of their undertakings must, if possible, be so construed as to make the obligation one which the law would recognize as valid.\" ",
"Equitable Loan &c. Co. v. Waring, 117 Ga. 599 (16) (44 SE 320) (1903). ",
"Accord Hartline-Thomas, Inc. v. Pew Constr. ",
"Co., 151 Ga. App. ",
"598 (260 SE2d 744) (1979). ",
"We thus hold that the trial court acted properly in rejecting Buffington's public policy attack on the enforceability of the indemnification provision. ",
"Having rejected each of the three grounds asserted by Buffington for the reversal of the summary judgment, we accordingly affirm the judgment of the trial court in its entirety.",
"\nJudgment affirmed. ",
"Carley, J., concurs. ",
"Benham, J., concurs in judgment only as to Division 3 and fully concurs as to Divisions 1 and 2.",

"Energy giant Npower is to cut 1,400 jobs as part of a major restructuring of its UK operations.",
"\n\nThere are to be closures at a number of the company's sites in the UK, while some back-office operations will be outsourced to India.",
"\n\nThe BBC has learned that a further 570 jobs will be outsourced within the UK.",
"\n\nNpower, one of the UK's \"big six\" gas and electricity suppliers, currently employs 9,600 people in the UK.",
"\n\nNpower announced a major overhaul of its UK operations in August. ",
"It is expected that Npower will give details of the job losses on Thursday morning.",
"\n\nCuts to come\n\nIn a statement, Npower said: \"As we announced a couple of months ago, Npower has been undertaking a major review of sites, operations and people across the UK.",
"\n\n\"We've been doing this to improve our customer service and keep our costs down, at a time of external pressures on customers' bills.\"",
"\n\nIn response to the news, Colin Smith, the GMB union's northern region senior organiser, said: \"GMB will vigorously campaign against the offshoring of jobs to India because it has absolutely nothing to do with customer service and everything to do with cost.\"",
"\n\nGMB added that Thursday's announcement will include details of site closures, but it understands that these will be Peterlee in Durham, Thornaby in North Yorkshire, and Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire.",
"\n\nNpower's parent company, German power giant RWE, announced plans earlier this month to cut 6,750 jobs across Europe and reduce costs by 1bn euros (£840m).",

"\n\nRWE pointed to new government regulations for simplified energy tariffs, as well as to energy-saving measures in domestic homes for dented profits.",
"\n\nLast week, Npower said it would sell some subsidiaries to Telecom Plus, which trades as Utility Warehouse, for £218m.\n\nTelecom Plus will officially take over contracts to supply gas and electricity to 770,000 accounts as part of the deal."
