Keywords: 3D deep learning, Rotation invariance, Invariant and equivariant deep networks, Universal approximation, Point clouds
Abstract: Learning functions on point clouds has applications in many fields, including computer vision, computer graphics, physics, and chemistry. Recently, there has been a growing interest in neural architectures that are invariant or equivariant to all three shape-preserving transformations of point clouds: translation, rotation, and permutation. In this paper, we present a first study of the approximation power of these architectures. We first derive two sufficient conditions for an equivariant architecture to have the universal approximation property, based on a novel characterization of the space of equivariant polynomials. We then use these conditions to show that two recently suggested models, Tensor field Networks and SE3-Transformers, are universal, and for devising two other novel universal architectures.
One-sentence Summary: We provide sufficient conditions for universality of rotation equivariant point cloud networks and use these conditions to show that current models are universal as well as for devising new universal architectures.

Nearly 180,000 former students at for-profit schools run by Career Education Corp. will not have to repay $494 million they owed to the company, a group of 49 state attorneys general have announced.
The New York Times reports that the agreement ends a five-year multistate investigation into complaints that the company used predatory and deceptive recruiting tactics. It mens that debt held directly by Career Education, such as unpaid tuition, is being forgiven.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, whose office helped lead the states' investigation, says Career Education misled students about the cost of its programs and its graduates' job prospects. In some cases, Miller says, Career Education charged students for vocational programs that lacked the accreditation needed for them to obtain a license and work in their field.
Career Education, based in Schaumburg, Ill., denied any wrongdoing. The company's two remaining chains, American InterContinental University and Colorado Technical University, which operate mainly online, enrolled about 35,000 students last year.
Todd Nelson, the company's chief executive, says in a news release that the settlement is an "important milestone" in its turnaround efforts.
"We have remained steadfast in our belief that we can work with the attorneys general to demonstrate the quality of our institutions and our commitment to students," Nelson says.
The company was once among the largest for-profit education chains in the United States, but has shrunk to about a third of its former size as state and federal regulators cracked down on its operations.
Career Education had until recently been trying to collect on a significant portion of the nearly $500 million owed to it by former students, according to the Iowa attorney general's office. Those efforts must now stop, and the company is required to ask credit bureaus to delete those debts from borrowers' credit reports.
The deal affects only debt held by Career Education and does not cover federal student loans, which are managed by the U.S. Education Department, or private student loans owed to other lenders. The only state not included in Thursday's deal, California, is preparing its own settlement with Career Education, the company says.
The Education Department can forgive the federal loans of students who were defrauded by their schools through its borrower defense program. At least 2,000 former Career Education students have applied for that relief, according to public records gathered by researchers, but the Education Department has not yet made a decision on any of those applications.
At its peak, Career Education enrolled more than 100,000 students at 100 campuses worldwide, including the Le Cordon Bleu chain of culinary schools and the vocationally focused Sanford-Brown Colleges and Institutes.
But a string of lawsuits and a nationwide regulatory crackdown on for-profit schools sharply reduced its financial fortunes. In 2015, the company decided to close most of its campuses.

SXSW 4G Hot Spot-a-go-go Clarence.
Treading a thin line between totally unethical/wrong and gainful temporary employment, companies at SXSW Music Festival are hiring homeless people to act as WiFi hotspots. Here's how it works:…
If you're a SXSW attendee and want access, all you have to do is make a donation of your choosing to the homeless hotspot you wish to "use" and you'll receive unlimited access, suggested donation $2 per 15 minutes. When all is said and done, each "Hotspot Manager," as they are called, gets to keep all the donations made in order to gain access to his particular hotspot.
And here's what people are saying about this marketing scheme/temp job:
While having roaming hotspots may be very useful for SXSW attendees who want better access to network connectivity considering that Wi-Fi is lacking, the concept of taking the homeless and "turning them into" infrastructure has some implications that don't go over well with everyone. "The shirt doesn't say, 'I have a 4G hotspot.' It says, 'I am a 4G hotspot,'" Jon Mitchell of Read Write Web points out.
Front Steps, based in Austin and responsible for finding the Hotspot Managers, all of whom were selected after a fairly detailed application process, says that the project fits with the organization's goals of "empowerment, education, and encouragement of the client to earn an income while saving the majority of those earnings with a goal of moving to safe and stable housing."
Personally, I don't agree with treating homeless people like objects rather than human beings, but I like that they get to interact with the public and make some money at the same time. But what do you think-is this gainful employment, or a way to exploit the homeless?

Huawei P9 Max benchmark spot reveals specs
The Huawei P8 released earlier in the year followed by the P8max and the P8lite. Now there are growing indications of the P9 lineup, as a Huawei P9 Max benchmark spot has revealed some specs of the upcoming device.
The AnTuTu benchmark appearance for the high-end Huawei P9 Max (model number P950S) throws some light on what we can expect from the phone. Key specifications include a Kirin 950 chipset with big.LITTLE octa-core CPU and Mali-T880 MP4 graphics. There's a 6.2-inch display said to have resolution of 2560 x 1600 resulting in 486 ppi.
Further Huawei P9 Max specs include 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, and the phone is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The overall AnTuTu benchmark score was a notable 73,759 while it scored a not so notable 16,822 for 3D graphics.
While the scores are impressive enough, they're not as good as the Meizu Pro 5 that achieved scores of 76,244 and 23,393 respectively. The Meizu phone also has an octa-core processor but features the Exynos 7420 chipset and Mali-T760 MP8 graphics. Other specs for the Huawei P9 Max are still unknown, although rumors suggest a fingerprint sensor on the side and a dual camera set-up on the reverse.
Now the Huawei P9 Max has turned up in a benchmark listing we'd expect to start seeing the device show up for certification. Once we get news of it reaching the TENAA certification process we will have more comprehensive specs and hopefully some images to take a look at too. Are you looking forward to the official launch of the Huawei P9 Max?

They flourish on XCams, although it's a lesser-known site than the remainder.

Cams.com isn't solely forward of the sport by means of their range, however they are also very technologically advanced. If you may be somebody who watches lots of VR sex, you are familiar with the term teledildonics. In VR, teledildonics are bluetooth sex toys that synch up to what you would possibly be watching.
In the table above you'll be able to see the average proportion that each cam site will get and act accordingly. Another factor to consider is the proportion of what viewers pay that gets taken by the cam site. Normally, this share ranges between 40% and 50%, but for the most profitable models, this share is decreased. Longer hours will make your shows of poorer quality, especially if you work on token-based sites.

With the main theme of "Inequality and Democracy: what is the role of libraries?", the XXVIII Congresso Brasileiro de Biblioteconomia e Documentação – CBBD 2019, aimed to discuss the state of the art of Biblioteconomy and Information Science and to integrate professionals from Brazilian libraries of all types: school, public, community, university and specialized libraries.
The congress took place in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, from October 1-4, and focused on instigating and proposing new questions for information professionals, urging them to act more pro-actively in favor of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Objectives (SDG) of the 2030 Agenda. In other words, considering the work of Institutions (FEBAB) showing that libraries are important allies in this global goal for society.
The Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME/PAHO/WHO), in collaboration with the General Coordination of Documentations and Information of the Executive Secretariat of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (CGDI/SAA/SE/MS), promoted the Virtual Health Library of Brazil (VHL Brazil) in a stand with a program of presentations on the initiatives, products and services developed within the framework of the technical cooperation between BIREME/PAHO/WHO and the CGDI/SAA/SE/MS that were congruent with the interests of participants at the event.
The exhibition fair took place from October 2 to 4, with seven daily presentations and an estimated public of 150 participants, who were informed on topics related to the VHL Brazil, LILACS, VHL MS, the BIBLIOSUS network, and also participated in a draw for ecobags representing the SDG, offered by the Ministry of Health.
The activities of the stand were held by BIREME librarians Joanita Barros and Laís Silva, by the coordination of the VHL MS, Shirley Rodrigues and Sandra Teixeira, as well as by the representative of the VHL Bioethics and Diplomacy in Health, Larissa Cedro.
According to Shirlei Rodrigues, "the dissemination of knowledge in health, in a space such as the CBBD is strategic to achieve the objectives of democratization of access to information, which translates into the fundamental right of citizens. In 2019, through meetings at the stand of the Ministry of Health/ BIREME, it was possible to expand alliances with information networks, which will culminate in a 5% increase in the number of cooperating institutions of the BiblioSUS Network
For Dirce Missae Suzuki, Head of the Sector Library on Human Sciences of the Universidade Estadual de Londrina, "BIREME's presence always brings benefits to the scientific community and with no doubt, also to the library. The presentation clarified many points and brought visibility for those who did not know the structure of the new website. As usual, the presentation was excellent and with the usual care from the BIREME family". Dirce was one of the winners of the draw, receiving an ecobag that, according to her, "is beautiful and follows the SDG criteria for a sustainable world".
Similarly, Joanita Barros and Laís Silva believe that it would be important to expand BIREME's participation in events related to the field of information, in order to promote the work of the institution within the framework of its mission of democratizing access to information, evidence and knowledge, as well as facilitating contact and communication with the network of cooperating centers.

Using Algebra to Find Real Life Solutions
Translating problems into algebra
Algebra is extremely useful to help solve problems that involve generalising or finding an unknown variable.
You can use algebra in many ways in the real world, often this means you will need to create an equation and then solve it.
For example we can use algebra to help use solve problems like this.
I am going to the shops and I want to buy 5 apples and 3 pears. I ended up spending £5 and each pear cost me 30 pence, how much did the apples cost me?
So, the total cost was £5 , that is equal to the price of 5 apples,(I'll call this price 5a) and 3 pears, which we know cost £0.30.
Therefore £5 = 5a +3(0.30) with this equation I can work out the price of the apples!
£5 - £0.90 = 5a
£4.10 = 5a
£0.82 = a
So the price of one apple is equal to £0.82.
Solving real life problems with simultaneous equations
For more complex problems, or for problems where we don't know a variable we might need to use a simultaneous equation. For example:
I went to the shops on Tuesday and I bought 2 loaves of bread and 3 bottles of milk. It cost me £3.50. On Wednesday I went to the shops and bought 1 loaves of bread and 2 bottle of milk and it cost me £2.15. How much is one bottle of milk and how much is one loaf of bread?
To solve this I need to create a simultaneous equation.
Tuesday 3m +2b=£3.50
Wednesday 2m + b=£2.15
As before in Solving Simultaneous Equations Algebraically we need to make one variable in each equation equal. We can do that by multiplying Wednesday's equation by 2:
Tuesday 3m +2b=£3.50 x1 = 3m+2b=£3.50
Wednesday 2m + b=£2.15 x2 = 4m +2b=£4.30
To find one variable because the signs are the same we need to take the equations away from each other.
It doesn't matter which order I take them away:
You can take Tuesday- Wednesday or Wednesday- Tuesday
4m +2b=£4.30 3m+2b=£3.50
3m+2b=£3.50 4m +2b=£4.30
m +0= 0.80 -m +0 =-0.80
Therefore m=£0.80 Now we can work out b
3 (0.80)+2b=£3.50
£2.40 +2b = £3.50
2b = £1.10
b= £0.55
So one loaf of bread is £0.55 and one bottle of milk is £0.80. We can check this by substituting out values into the original equations.

Girls in kimono are such eye-candy~~
Fedelini with shirasu(little white fish) and mizuna. The pasta is surprisingly good. Lunch is 1680yen. Since the appetizer and the dessert are just so-so, the cheaper 1260yen pasta-only lunch is probably more worth it.
2 thoughts on "Alberata"
I wonder what the occasion it is for those girls to dress up (can't be specially dressed up for the italian lunch ^^;;) The Japanese pasta sounds so good! (hehe gimme idea what to try next)
Oh those girls are probably dressed for some Japanese ceremonies, cos that area is very old town-ish.
The sauce is olive-oil based with a garlic taste. Should try making it~

Historic space, new flavor
Published 10:45 pm Thursday, February 13, 2014
The building at 116 W. Washington St. has a storied history as a restaurant, and that history will continue with Thursday's opening of East Coast Taco Company.
"I've always had an ambition to be self-employed," owner Jose Moncada said. "I just came across this opportunity when the building was available and took the leap of faith."
Moncada recently graduated from culinary school at the Art Institute in Virginia Beach. It's in his blood, too — his father owns several restaurants on the Outer Banks.
East Coast Taco Company will have a "typical Mexican menu" as a foundation but will offer other varied fare, Moncada said.
"I want to use Suffolk's produce to play with the seasons," he said.
The building recently had a stint as a tea room, The Plaid Hatter, after several years of upscale Italian eatery Primo 116. Many Suffolk old-timers remember its many years as the Crystal Restaurant, where, as Councilman Charles Parr put it at Thursday's ribbon-cutting, "all the old guys would come here and pay five cents for a cup of coffee and stay all day."
Vice Mayor Charles Brown said Thursday the restaurant had "picked a very good location."
Directly across the street from East Coast Taco Company, Monument Construction is in the midst of a project to convert several long-vacant commercial buildings into 68 lofts with retail spaces on the ground floor.
Much of the block has been in flux for many years. Monument recently completed a smaller-scale project at the corner and, on one side of East Coast Taco Company, the National Bank building is up for sale. On its other side, a Portsmouth couple hopes to open a dance studio.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied on Friday to swear allegiance to their clerical leaders and reject U.S. President Donald Trump's warning that he had put the Islamic Republic "on notice", state TV reported.
They carried "Death to America" banners and effigies of Trump while a military police band played traditional Iranian revolutionary songs.
"America and Trump cannot do a damn thing. We are ready to sacrifice our lives for our leader", a young man told state TV, in a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Both U.S.-based social media sites are blocked by the government in Iran but many Iranians get around the restrictions to use them. Iranian officials, including Khamenei, have Twitter and Facebook accounts despite the ban.
Tehran has now warned the US and Iran have "dark days ahead" as thousands flooded the streets with banners reading "Down with USA".
Earlier this week Khamenei struck back after a meeting with his military leaders and promised the nation is planning to respond to mark today's anniversary of the Iran's revolution in 1979.

Had our puppet Saddam attack them when they deposed our dictator and armed both sides resulting in a million dead.

If you're like most people, you probably buy Kraft box regularly. If you're like most people, you probably think of Kraft box as an essential part of your grocery shopping. But is that the case? Or are Kraft box doing more harm than good? This blog post explores five reasons to stop buying Kraft box completely. We'll explore the environmental impact of these ubiquitous boxes, how they negatively impact our health, and more. So if you're looking to make some positive changes in your shopping habits, read on!
Why is Kraft Boxes Bad for the Environment?
Kraft Boxes are one of the most common items found in households across America. However, their production and distribution hurt the environment. custom Kraft boxes wholesale use a lot of energy to produce and transport them from factories to stores, which creates pollution and damages the environment. Additionally, many of these boxes contain unhealthy ingredients that can have harmful effects on people and the planet.
The production of Kraft boxes also takes a huge amount of resources, including water, oil, and pulp. This process causes environmental damage by polluting water sources and releasing toxic gases into the air. It takes more than 3 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of Kraft Boxes! Not only is this an unsustainable practice, but it also contributes to global warming.
Kraft boxes are not just bad for our environment – they're also bad for our health. Many of the ingredients in Kraft Boxes are unhealthy and can have harmful effects on people's health. For example, many Kraft Boxes contain high levels of sodium which can increase blood pressure levels and lead to heart disease. And when it comes to sugar content, Kraft Boxes often rank among the worst offenders. One large box contains as much sugar as 5 cans of soda!
So what should you do if you want to reduce your environmental impact? Here are some tips:
– Try buying packaged foods that are made with less packaging or less waste.
– Avoid
What are the Alternatives to Kraft Boxes?
There are several alternatives to purchasing Kraft boxes. Some people prefer to buy organic ingredients instead of processed foods, while others simply want more variety in their food choices. The following list includes some of the most common alternative ingredients to Kraft boxes.
Organic foods: One option for those who want to avoid processed foods is to purchase organic ingredients. This can be done at grocery stores, online, or even through subscription services.
Variety: Another reason to switch from Kraft boxes is the lack of variety offered. By buying ingredients such as spices and herbs that come in different packs, cooks can create meals with a greater range of flavors and textures.
Local produce: It's not only organic foods that can be found locally; produce from farmers' markets is also an option. Produce from local farms is typically fresher and has a more varied flavor profile than items brought in from farther away.
How Much Does It Cost To Switch From Kraft Boxes To Other Types of Food Containers?
If you're like many people, you may be thinking about switching to another type of food container. Here are some reasons why you might want to make the switch:
1. It's environmentally friendly: One big benefit of switching to a different type of food container is that it's environmentally friendly. Kraft boxes are made from polystyrene and other recycled materials, but there are other types of containers available that are also environment-friendly. For example, glass or stainless steel containers can be reused multiple times and are not as harmful to the environment as Kraft boxes.
2. They're more sustainable: Another reason to consider switching to a different type of food container is that they're more sustainable. Some popular choices include reusable glass or stainless steel containers, which are both more sustainable than Kraft boxes. Not only do these containers last longer, but they're also more sustainable because they don't use up valuable resources in their production process.
3. They're easier to store: One big complaint about Kraft boxes is that they're difficult to store in small spaces. This is because they require a lot of storage space, which isn't always ideal in tight quarters. Some alternative food containers, such as reusable glass or stainless steel containers, don't take up as much space and are therefore easier to store."
It's time to break free from the Kraft box! Here are five reasons why you should stop buying them completely:
1. They're unhealthy -Boxes full of processed foods and artificial ingredients can be very harmful to your health, especially if you're trying to maintain a healthy weight. Switching to more wholesome alternatives like homemade meals or plant-based boxes will help you stay on track and reach your goals.
2. It's environmentally devastating -Kraft boxes rely on oil, which is obtained through deforestation and other environmentally destructive practices. Buying products made with natural ingredients instead will help reduce your carbon footprint while still providing sustenance.
3. It takes too much time -There's nothing wrong with enjoying a good boxed meal once in a while, but making your own at home is often simpler and faster – not to mention cheaper! Plus, it gives you control over what goes into your food so that you can make sure it is as nutritious as possible.
4. They're expensive -Not only do Kraft boxes cost more than homemade alternatives, but they also tend to contain higher sugar content and fewer nutrients which can increase the cost of living overall. Investing in some quality kitchen supplies like a high-quality blender or food processor will save you plenty of money in the long run! "Small changes over time add up – think about all of the money you're throwing away by eating out every night instead of cooking at home."

Where Las Vegas is the city to where stars retire to, Los Angeles is the city where most begin on the road to stardom. The massive city of opportunity stretches approximately 342 miles which is a distance a guy I've always liked and followed, Jeff Halevy, wouldn't mind running I'm sure.
Las Angeles' smog season, which is something that I've never experienced being from the South, lasts from May to October and while other large cities in America depend on rain to clean the smog out of the atmosphere, Los Angeles gets only an average of 15 inches of rain a year. Smog, caused my pollution, is expected to keep decreasing in the years to come with strict steps enforced to reduce it.
Another thing about Las Angeles that is totally different for me, a small town southern guy, is that the entire economy is driven by mainly by entertainment and tourist and the city is major in manufacturing, in fact, it is the largest manufacturing city in the west.

A 26-year-old man was found dead at The Florida condominium in Hougang on Wednesday morning (July 13).
Responding to a Stomp query, the police said they received a call requesting for assistance at 76 Hougang Avenue 7 at 6.53am and found the man lying motionless on the second level of the block.
He was pronounced dead by paramedics at scene.
Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.
Stomper Eric Lim, a resident on the eighth floor, said he was asleep when a loud sound woke him up at around 4am.
He recounted: "I was awakened when I heard a loud impact. It didn't sound like a car crash. I also felt strong vibrations on my window. But since it was about 4am, I did not think much of it and simply went back to sleep.
"Upon waking up at 7am, I saw a body lying on the ground with blood. I couldn't get back to sleep and was left wondering what happened."
Photos submitted by Eric show a barefooted man lying on the ground. Investigators can be spotted at the scene.
Police investigations are ongoing.

The natural groove and sense of pace in the funky ballad by R.F. Coleman is sublime. There is a natural awkwardness that fills in the gaps and arranges an altogether lovely piece of music. Not dislike the great jongleur Beck, R.F. Coleman spars with greatness in delivering such a palatial riff.
R.F. comes to us writing with contemporary, Joshua Moriarty of Miami Horror fame. The track is such a joyride that elevates much of the experienced R.F. Coleman, through his turbulent and expressive history.
"I Couldn't Trust" is his debut as a solo musician, but not as an 'artist'. As a writer for the New York Times and Guardian, R. F. Coleman has been shot, stabbed, poisoned with cyanide and put a hit out on himself. He's photographed for Canon and directed award-winning short films on five continents.

text: Human islet cell transplantation is a promising treatment for type 1 diabetes; however long-term donor-specific tolerance to islet allografts remains BMP3 a clinically unmet goal. tolerance in full MHC-mismatched murine allogeneic islet transplantation. Infusions of donor antigen-coupled PLG particles (PLG-dAg) mediated tolerance in ~20% of recipient mice and the distribution of cellular uptake of PLG-dAg within the spleen was comparable to that of donor ECDI-SP. PLG-dAg mediated the contraction of indirectly activated T cells but did not modulate the direct pathway of allorecognition. Combination of PLG-dAg with a short course of low dose immunosuppressant rapamycin at the time of transplant significantly improved TRAM-34 the tolerance efficacy to ~60%. Furthermore altering the timing of PLG-dAg administration to a schedule that is more feasible for clinical transplantation TRAM-34 resulted in equal tolerance efficacy. Thus the combination therapy of PLG-dAg infusions with peritransplant rapamycin represents a clinically attractive biomaterials-based and cell-free method for inducing long-term donor-specific tolerance for allogeneic cell transplantation such as for allogeneic islet transplantation. human cell manipulation donor-to-donor variability and stringent safety considerations for clinical applications. A promising alternative to donor splenocytes for recipient preconditioning is to employ synthetic particles as the carrier of soluble donor antigens obtained from processed donor cells. This approach would allow for a storable form of donor antigens for the manufacturing of therapeutic products for tolerance induction hence significantly expanding the applicability of this approach to include deceased donor organ transplantation and facilitate repetitive tolerance boosters post-transplant if needed. Synthetic particles can also be manufactured reproducibly further providing a platform upon which modifications can be made to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of this tolerance approach. Recent work by our lab and collaborators has exhibited that biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) particles with an approximate diameter of 500 nm are capable of effectively delivering peptide antigens to mediate tolerance to autoimmunity in both preventative and therapeutic models of relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (R-EAE) [12]. PLG has been shown to be a safe delivery system in preclinical models [13-15] and has also been approved by the FDA for a number of therapeutic applications [16-18]. In this report we investigated the ability of PLG particles carrying allogeneic donor antigens for transplant tolerance induction in full MHC-mismatched allogeneic islet transplantation models. Based on our prior work showing the efficacy of donor ECDI-SP in inducing transplant tolerance in the same models the current study investigated the efficacy of replacing splenocytes with soluble donor antigens coupled to PLG TRAM-34 particles in the establishment and maintenance of long-term tolerance in allogeneic islet transplantation. Initial studies focused on optimizing donor antigen (dAg) coupling to the PLG particles (PLG-dAg). We TRAM-34 subsequently investigated the long-term protection of transplanted islet allografts provided by the PLG-dAg and characterized the potential mechanisms of their protection. Our studies thus provide the basis for the future development of synthetic particles for transplant tolerance induction that will likely have a broader impact on cell therapies beyond that for allogeneic islet cell transplantation. 2 Materials and methods 2.1 Mice Eight to ten week old male BALB/c (H-2d) C57BL/6 (B6 H-2b) and SJL/J (H-2s) mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory and Harlan. 4C mice were provided by Dr. Qizhi Tang from the University of California at San Francisco. TCR75 mice were provided by Dr. Anita Chong from the University of Chicago. All mice were housed under specific pathogen free conditions at Northwestern University and protocols were approved TRAM-34 by Northwestern University IACUC. 2.2 Islet transplantation Mice were treated with streptozotocin (Sigma-Aldrich) at 170 mg/kg. Two consecutive glucose readings (1 day apart) greater than 250 mg/dl were used to determine diabetes. The protocol for islet isolation and transplantation has been described previously [19]. Approximately 500 islets were implanted under the kidney capsule of recipient mice. Graft rejection was determined by two consecutive blood glucose readings greater than 250 mg/dL. 2.3 Antibodies and FACS analysis Cell phenotype was measured by flow cytometry. Isolated cells.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are alternative options for investors seeking to diversify. However, in a high-interest era, residential REITs should benefit the most. Industry experts say the recent interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada to curb inflation will increase mortgage rates and housing costs while adding pressure to the tight rental market.
With housing affordability more challenging in June 2023, demand level will temper, as homebuyers stay on the sidelines. More people will also lean towards renting than owning properties. But from an investment perspective, a top Canadian residential REIT that pays monthly dividends could be an inflation buffer.
Killam Apartment (TSX:KMP.UN) is a screaming buy today for its strong fundamentals and attractive yield. At $17.71 per share, current investors enjoy an 11.08% year-to-date gain on top of the 3.91% dividend. A $30,992.50 position (1,750 shares) in this residential REIT will produce $100.98 in monthly passive income.
Growth-oriented REIT
The $2.07 billion REIT takes pride in its proven record of strong growth and robust development leasing. Killam acquires high-quality multi-residential assets and invests in joint-venture opportunities to maximize growth potential. As of March 31, 2023, the portfolio comprises 230 apartments (19,484 units), 40 manufactured home communities or MHCs (5,975 units), and nine commercial properties.
In the first quarter (Q1) of 2023, property revenue, net operating income (NOI), and net income rose 9.6%, 12.3%, and 39%, respectively, to $84.9 million, $50.8 million, and $83.5 million versus Q1 2022. The Apartment same-property occupancy rate at the quarter's end was 98.6%. Its president and chief executive officer (CEO) Philip Fraser said, "Fundamentals in our core markets are stronger than ever."
Fraser expects the portfolio to maintain healthy revenue and NOI growth in the quarters ahead. Killam's capital-recycling program aims to dispose of or recycle non-core assets ($100 million to $150 million target) to maximize value, enhance capital flexibility, and strengthen the balance sheet.
For 2023, 450 suites repositioning will translate to $2.5 million in annualized revenue growth. The total opportunity to reposition 5,500 suites should result in $28 million in annualized revenue.
The REIT's extensive development program is also an important component of its long-term growth plan, and the $1.7 billion development pipeline should support future growth. Killam will have 320 new high-quality suites in the next two years with the completion of three development projects.
Growing market rents
Because of higher-than-normal lease renewals in Q1 2023, the weighted average rental rate increased by 3.8% year over year. The rental rate increase for new tenants that moved in during the quarter was 14.3%. Killam averages 30% to 32% of unit turnover historically, except in the last two years due to the tightening of Canada's housing and rental markets.
Still, Killam typically generates rental increases by moving rental rates to market or where market demand exists. Management believes that population growth across Canada will drive market rents higher. More importantly, it expects monthly distributions to increase and payout ratios to decrease over time.
High-quality and young portfolio
Killam Apartment is a solid investment prospect if you want exposure to the residential sub-sector of the real estate market. Besides owning Canada's highest-quality and youngest apartment portfolios, the monthly dividend payouts should be sustainable and rock steady for years.

As the health crisis related to the epidemic caused by the new Covid-19 coronavirus is diminishing, one of the most important European priorities will be the fight against unemployment and support for the necessary training and/or change of qualifications.
Beyond short-term job support, many people will need a new job in the coming weeks and months. Young people will need information and appropriate tools for finding a job, training opportunities and presenting their skills. In the light of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Commission wants to ensure that the new Europass will be able to support many people who are facing new labour market challenges and who are increasingly turning to online tools such as Europass.

Did you blink during the last few weeks? If so, here are some things you may have missed
What is in this article?
Did you blink during the last few weeks? If so, here are some things you may have missed
FirstNet—At the beginning of the month, FirstNet may have made some enemies—and that's a good thing, in my opinion.
Now, nobody wants enemies, but that's a natural byproduct of making key decisions. Some will be liked, and others will not. But, to a large extent, the FirstNet board has avoided taking positions on key topics, presumably because it did not want to prematurely eliminate any approach that could help make a nationwide broadband network for public safety a reality.
During its Oct. 2 meeting, the FirstNet board made some key decisions. One was approving a final legal interpretation that calls for opt-out states to share revenues generated in their territories with the rest of the country, which most industry analysts believe strongly discourages states and territories from considering the opt-out alternative.
In addition, the FirstNet board approved a plan to accept only nationwide bids, which removed the possibility of regional bids from the process. The move made sense, because many questioned how regional—or Category 2, as it was named in FirstNet's draft RFP—bids would be evaluated in comparison to nationwide bids, much less how a winning regional bid would be integrated into the nationwide network.
In approving the nationwide-bid measure, the FirstNet board emphasized that the details would require nationwide bids to include rural carriers and small business. Exactly how that will work is unknown, because the text of the legal interpretations has not been released yet.
But such decisions likely will disappoint some people and companies, as FirstNet Vice Chairman Jeff Johnson noted.
"I understand that fundamentally, as the chute gets narrower and narrower on clarifying how we're going to procure, we're going to upset some people," Johnson said. "There's going to be some people who see their opportunity tarnish or evaporate altogether. Or, they're going to see a bright light shine on it and say, 'This is perfect for us.'
"I understand that and expect to hear from people that love this and people that are bothered by it. But that said, it's important that we don't forget our purpose … Our purpose is to deliver a nationwide network for public safety. That's our purpose … and to do so in a timely fashion and to do so at a price that we can afford in the smallest and most underfunded agencies in this country, but with enough sophistication and capacity to serve the biggest demands placed on this network. That's our charge."
And FirstNet still need to make a lot more of these tough decisions during the next 10 weeks, if it is going to be ready to release its final RFP by the end of the month, as planned. Some of the key items that need to be determined, so that potential bidders can make educated proposals include:
- Public safety priority/preemption—Public safety needs preemptive priority, but no one has detailed under what conditions that it would happen. Potential partners need this information to make an educated estimate about the value of the secondary-use spectrum that is a key component of the FirstNet business model.
- Minimum data rates—FirstNet's draft RFP cites certain data rates that were established several years ago, but it also left a caveat that the data-rate minimums could change. Obviously, increased data rates could increase the number of sites that need to be deployed by FirstNet's winning partner.
- Network reliability standards—Realistically, FirstNet cannot afford to harden every single network element. But which elements will be hardened for power and redundancy? In addition, who wants to tell a local police chief that a site in his jurisdiction is "not critical enough" to be hardened?
- Liability—This is a big one, but I haven't heard as much about it as I would expect. Carriers are willing to provide 911 services largely because they are exempt from legal liability if something goes wrong in the 911 process. Maybe this has been determined already, but similar legal protection likely is needed for entities providing services to FirstNet.
There are other examples, of course, but these are few key items that will have to be addressed soon. So don't blink, or you might miss something.

Dollar sales must be monitored at the central bank for banking companies
Economist: dollar sales must be monitored at the central bank for banking companies to prevent money laundering
Date: 22/02/2013 12:46:33 Friday

An open delta connection transformer is a three-phase, two single phase supply system that uses the same power on both sides. The transformers are connected in a way such that they provide an alternating current to each other with no direct link between them – this causes there to be 120 degrees of difference from one side of either end and its counterpart (120°).
What is a 3-phase delta connection?
A 3-phase delta connection is a type of electrical power system that mixes three phases. These systems are often used to distribute large amounts of electricity over long distances at the highest voltages, as in 400 kV and 450kv transmission lines.
The Delta (Δ) or Mesh Connection connects the finished terminal of one winding start terminal with another phase giving it an enclosed circuit which allows for easier distribution across longer distances thanks to its high voltage capabilities up to 750kv!
Where is open Delta Connection used?
An open delta connection system is also called a V-V system. This type of power transmission line, which transmits electricity from generation sites to customers through the use of three phase AC lines instead of two as in a closed delta (or Y) configuration, can only be used during emergencies because its efficiency varies greatly when compared with that found on more standard configurations such as those seen in closed delta systems and single point transfer switches.
Why is an Open Delta Connection used in PT?
When earth faults happen, it's called a broken delta. This particular type of fault detection has two lines going from one wire to another at an angle that measures about 120 degrees across each other and then both end up in the same transformer. But what makes this configuration different than your typical three-wire system are its voltages being monitored via phase voltage summation which can detect any changes with respect to time or current flow through any line on either side of the open point where they meet as well as balance out load disturbances between phases by delaying them until after all impedances have been balanced (putting more power into whichever line needs it).

What Kind Of Cocoa Powder Did You Use
I used Hersheys Unsweetened Cocoa Powder in order to use a brand that is most widely available to my readers. Im also fond of using higher quality cocoa powders like Ghiradellis or cocoa powders from specialty chocolatier shops, but those are pretty pricey. I dont recommend using cheap store brands.
Can I Use A Can Of Soda Instead Of Water/eggs/oil
Substituting a can of soda for the other wet ingredients can amplify the flavors of your cake. Substitute the usual oil and eggs in cake mix for a 12 oz. can of soda. Opt for Coke, root beer or Dr. Pepper to intensify chocolate cake. Lighter sodas like Sprite go well with lighter cakes like vanilla, lemon, or yellow cake.
The cake rises magically and has a subtle but pleasant taste of the cola you choose.
Cake mix. Soda. Thats all you need.
How To Make Chocolate Box Cake Better With Pudding Mix

Think outside the box.
- 1 box of cake mix
- 1 package Jell-O instant pudding mix
- 3/4 cup sour cream or cream cheese
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil

How To Make Flourless Chocolate Cake
- Bake the cake in an 8-inch round cake pan. Make sure you grease the pan with nonstick cooking AND line it with parchment paper. I also grease the parchment paper after it goes in the pan. You dont want the cake to stick.
- Make sure you use the best chocolate for the recipe so you get the best chocolate flavor. You can use chocolate chips or chopped up chocolate.
- I use semi-sweet chocolate but if you like darker chocolate, bittersweet would work well too.
- I use Dutch process cocoa because it gives the cake a deep, chocolate flavor.
- I melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, but you can melt it on low in a pan using the stove top.
- Dont over bake the cake. You want it to be nice and fudgy. It is done when the center reads 200°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the chocolate ganache glaze.
- After the cake is glazed, let the glaze set up before cutting. I like to put it in the refrigerator for a few hours so the glaze can set up.
- Serve the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh raspberries. We also like to serve whipped cream or ice cream on the side balance out the rich chocolate cake.
Is this flourless chocolate cake gluten-free? YES, there is no flour in the recipe. And dont let the gluten-free part scare you if you normally dont do gluten-free, this seriously is the BEST chocolate cake. I cant say it enough.
How To Make A Perfect Chocolate Drip With Any Kind Of Chocolate
A lot of people ask me how to make a chocolate drip for their drip cakes. I normally use water ganache for my drips with white chocolate and food coloring. This makes some colorful drips but sometimes you want a nice decadent chocolate drip.

Tip: If you have an oven that heats unevenly, choose a 2 inch deep cake pan. 3 inch deep cakes can be finicky. Fill cake pans up to 2/3 full. 3 inch deep cake pans should only be filled up to 1/2 full.
Important! A high-quality cake pan can make or break your cake. Avoid cheap cake pans as they can overcook around the edges, under cook in the center, and cause rough cake texture. Choose metal cake pans for even heating.

6. Pour 1 cup water .
7. Pour 1/3 cup oil . I have used organic virgin coconut oil. Do use some light oil otherwise the cake may smell oily.
8. Next add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Yes this cake needs more vanilla than the other recipes. However if you prefer less you may use only half of it.
9. Add 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice or vinegar. Make sure you use good quality vinegar. I have used organic apple cider vinegar.
10. Mix all these well gently with a whisk or a spatula just until well combined.
11. You will notice that the cake batter begins to bubble up. The acidic ingredient vinegar or lemon juice begins to react with the baking soda. Do not over mix at this stage, it may make the cake dense.

Another favourite way to enjoy this beloved cake is very simply with sweetened whipped cream and fresh berries.
This chocolate cake recipe freezes beautifully and Ill typically make it a few days in advance when preparing for a party. Just wrap the cooled cakes well in plastic wrap before popping them into freezer bags. Freeze them until ready to use, and you can frost them while still cold . I do make sure that its at room temperature by the time its served for best texture . If you love this one, Ive got lots more cake recipes be sure to check them out!

Why Do You Add Coffee To Your Chocolate Cake
I like to add hot coffee to my chocolate cake for two reasons. The first reason is that hot liquid blooms the cocoa powder, which gives it more depth of flavor.
The second reason I add coffee to my chocolate cake is that it intensifies the chocolate flavor. Your cake will not taste like coffee, rather it will have more richly chocolate. However, you can substitute the hot coffee with very hot water if you prefer.

One of the recipes that I receive the most emails about is my Best Chocolate Cake Recipe. Generally, the emails are asking me if they can omit the espresso powder, if they can substitute this or that, or if it can be made into either a major multi-tiered confection for an upcoming wedding or something similar. But last week, I received an email asking if the cake could be made into a 9×13 recipe.
Rather than simply responding with a quick, Yes to the email, I headed to the kitchen to make it so that I could show you.
Pour Into Cake Pans & Bake
Next, divide the batter evenly into the two prepared cake pans. You can either eyeball it or actually measure. I like to put 1 cup of batter at a time into each cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean or with a few crumbs.

How To Tell If A Cake Is Done
- A great way to check if a cake is done is to insert a wooden toothpick into the cake and if the wooden pick comes out clean, it is ready.
- If you dont have a toothpick, gently press on the cake and it should spring back. If the cake leaves an indent of a fingerprint, it needs a few more minutes.
Remove them from the oven and allow to cool either on a rack or on a kitchen towel on the counter. You will want to make sure they are fully cooled before moving onto decorating your cake or cupcakes. This keeps the icing from melting and sliding off! Wed hate to waste any delicious frosting!
Soften And Skim A Layer Of Chocolate
The Spruce / Elizabeth LaBau
To create a chocolate piece that fans out in waves, first warm the chocolate slightly by placing it in a warm oven for 5 seconds. Remove the chocolate from the oven and attempt to make a curl or wave with the cheese slicer. If it chips off in small pieces, return it to the oven to warm for another few seconds. Do not let it melt! You simply want the chocolate to be pliable.
Once it's ready, use light pressure and run the cheese slicer down the block of chocolate. You want to skim off a thin layer, not cut into the chocolate.

Easy Chocolate Cake Ingredients
No fancy ingredients here but some people ask me about substitutions.
This recipe calls for hot coffee which intensifies the flavor of the chocolate. It doesnt make the cake taste like coffee at all. If you dont want to use coffee, you can substitute a dark beer like Guinness or just hot water.
Im using Hersheys cocoa powder for this recipe because its a natural cocoa powder that is a little acidic. That acid reacts with the baking soda and actually tenderizes the gluten and makes the cake extra moist.
If you dont have Hersheys cocoa powder or want to use Dutch-processed cocoa powder like Cocoa Barry extra brut , then replace the baking soda with baking powder.
The oil in this recipe all makes the cake extra moist, if you want your cake to be even more moist, you can add an extra ounce of oil. Oil-based cakes always stay softer than butter-based cakes but they are a bit more delicate.

In supplier-retailer interactions, the retailer may carry inventories strategically as a bargaining mechanism
to induce the supplier to drop the future wholesale price. As per Anand, Anupindi, and Bassok
(2008), the introduction of strategic inventories always benefits the supplier and possibly also the retailer
if the holding cost is sufficiently low (due to the contract-space-expansion effect). Is such a move
beneficial for the supply chain agents in the presence of process improvement efforts? Such efforts—
initiated by suppliers—ultimately reduce production cost and may translate into lower wholesale prices
as well as lower consumer prices. We find that strategic inventories may stimulate investment in process
improvement when the holding cost is high (as it encourages the supplier to further reduce future cost to
eliminate the need for strategic inventories), but may suppress such investment when the holding cost is
low (as strategic inventories are cheap to stock and hence cannot be eliminated). Our key result, contrary
to the existing literature, is that strategic inventories may be harmful to both supply chain agents in the
presence of process improvement. In that case, the supplier effectively over-invests in process improvement
efforts, inducing the retailer to reduce the stock of strategic inventories, while reversing the benefits
of the contract-space-expansion effect. We also consider variations to the model, whereby the supplier
may delay his investment decision, the holding cost may be a function of the wholesale price set by the
supplier, consumers may behave strategically, and the planning horizon may consist of multiple periods
