text: Case | HBS Case Collection | January 2016 (Revised February 2016) Citizens United and Corporate Speech David Moss and Marc Campasano The story of Citizens United began in late 2007, as leading members of the Republican and Democratic parties were preparing for the 2008 presidential primaries. Democrats expected a three-way contest in their party between Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, Senator (and former first lady) Hillary Clinton of New York, and former senator John Edwards of North Carolina. In anticipation of the primary season, a nonprofit corporation named Citizens United made a film, Hillary: The Movie, which attacked Senator Clinton's character, activities in Washington, and fitness for the presidency. People interviewed in the film described Clinton as "steeped in controversy [and] steeped in sleaze," "deceitful," "ruthless," "vindictive," "venal," "sneaky," and "intolerant." Citizens United released Hillary: The Movie in cinemas and on DVD, but also wished to show the film via on-demand video. Although the group sought to promote the on-demand release with television commercials, it worried that both the on-demand release and the associated advertisements could be deemed illegal—a violation of federal election law that banned corporations and labor unions from using internal treasury funds to assist with the election or defeat of candidates for certain federal offices. Citizens United pled in District Court that the laws restricting corporate speech violated the constitution. Although the District Court disagreed, the U.S. Supreme Court soon took up the case and, on January 21, 2010, ruled decisively in Citizen United's favor. In a 5-4 decision, the Court declared that limiting corporations' independent expenditures on election speech was unconstitutional. By doing so, the Court overturned two of its own precedents: Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce (1990) and part of McConnell v. Federal Election Commission (2003). The majority opinion in Citizens United, penned by Justice Anthony Kennedy, announced that corporations had First Amendment rights, and that existing federal law improperly infringed on these rights. The four justices in the minority joined in a spirited dissent, written by Justice John Paul Stevens, which expressed deep concern over the influence of corporate spending on elections.

Quarks have a variety of names (or flavours):
Why do they have such odd names?
Quarks have a variety of names (or flavours):
Why do they have such odd names?
The up/down top/bottom should be self evident: in a matrix representation the vector is written that way
So in the isotopic spin space (the SU(2) of the SU(2)xSU(3)xU(1) of the Standard Model) according to the charge the one on top was called the up and the one on bottom, the down.
The strange got its name from the strange mesons, which when discovered were behaving strangely, with respect to pions, needing a new quantum number because they were generated in pairs ( Lamda K) and the quantum number became the "strange" one.
Charm was a whim as , they were charmed by its existence since it had been predicted to exist given the quark model expectations; from the quark entry in wikipedia:
Top and Bottom, again because of the position in the vector, and Beauty instead of Bottom out of whimsy again, keeping the B, and Truth keeping the T.
Who said that physicists are not having fun?
For completeness, the name "quark" has the origin in Finnegan's Wake of James Joyce:
Of course our Germanic language friends say that Quark is a type of cheese!
Actually the quark article in wikipedia has an etymology section for the quarks, to be read for completeness.

text: Well guys, ever since I uploaded that lesson on the kanji word tutorial for love, I have been getting requests to do or make more tutorials based on kanji words. So far today I uploaded the kanji word for dragon, and up next I will show you "how to draw kanji happiness", step by step. There is a few words spelled in kanji that folks are fond of and even place on their bodies for tattoo designs. Japanese word tattoos are a very common or popular art that has been getting increasingly popular over the past few years. Once you get the hang of writing Japanese, you should be able to tackle these lessons with ease because they are almost made the same way. The marks and lines are drawn in a uniform style which makes them very nice to look at. Anyways, I think you will enjoy drawing happiness, because this is one word written in kanji that people really love. I will be back in a bit with more drawing fun so stay tuned in to see what else I have for you guys next. Peace out folks and enjoy!

Is an attacker of an cryptographic algorithm allowed to change order of sub-keys but not changing their number in attack? Would it be called an attack on broken algorithm of cipher?
The attack you describe (at least insofar as I understand it) is essentially a type of related key cryptanalysis, which is a valid but very strong attack model that is not always accepted by cryptographers as showing serious weaknesses in a cipher. In terms of the plausibility of such an attack, the general idea is that if the expanded key (consisting of all the round keys) is stored or transmitted insecurely then it might be possible for an attacker to alter them in some particular way, even if she cannot simply read them directly. The alterations to the rounds keys would induce the cipher to behave differently in a way that enables the attacker to deduce bits of the key.
This scenario might seem to stretch credulity a little too much, which is why not all cryptographers are concerned about related key attacks. However, weaknesses in a cipher under related key attacks can often inspire breaks under the more conventional one-key model (e.g. Biham's 'key schedule' related-key cryptanalysis of LOKI inspired slide attacks, and differential related-key cryptanalysis techniques aided the development of biclique cryptanalysis). We also may be interested in the strength of a cipher when it is being used as the core of a hash function, where the attacker can directly control the 'key' input.
You do have to be a little careful about with the type of "key alteration" you propose (i.e. transposition of round keys). So long as the attacker is restricted to just transposing round keys that should be fine. But if the attacker is given more fine-grained control, to the point where she can transpose individual bits of the round key, then that is much too strong of a capability to grant her, because not even an Ideal Cipher can resist an attacker with that ability. Related key attacks are only really "interesting" (in the sense of revealing a structural weakness in a particular cipher) if an Ideal Cipher can in principle be secure against them.
Typically, in a cryptographical attack, the attacker is assumed to control the inputs to the cryptographical algorithm, but not the algorithm itself.
For example, for encryption algorithms, the attacker is typically assumed to be able to specify the plaintxt (chosen plaintext attack) and the ciphertext (chosen ciphertext attack). In addition, the attacker may be assumed to have some control over the key (in a "related key attack"); we may allow the attacker to ask for a specific plaintext to be encrypted with certain bits of the key flipped (although, even there, related key attacks are often assumed to be of academic interest, as attackers generally can't tweak the key). However, we usually assume that the nonkeyed part of the algorithm cannot be modified; for example, the attacker can't ask an AES encryption using a modified sbox.
Unless the order of subkeys are something that is potentially controlled by the attacker (e.g. it's controlled by some keying bits that can potentially be controlled in a related key attack), any such attack would not be considered a real attack against the cipher.
Now, just because it's not a real attack doesn't mean it's not of potential interest. Depending on how the attack works, it might be considered an attack against a weakened version of the cipher. That is, when considering real ciphers, we often don't attack the full version directly; instead, we consider reduced versions of them (e.g. with fewer rounds). As we develop these attacks, we then consider how they may be extended to be of use against the full version. An attack against a version of the cipher with reordered subkeys may be similar; perhaps with such an attack, someone might propose how to extend it so that it is of use against the original cipher.

Consider the complex number $$ \lambda = (1-2\mu)+2\mu\cos\theta+i\nu\sin \theta $$ where $i=\sqrt{-1}$, $\mu,\nu$ are constants, and $\mu>0$.
How can I get that $|\lambda|\leq 1$ for all $0\leq\theta\leq 2\pi$ if and only if $\nu^2\leq 2\mu\leq 1$?
What I have thought geometrically is that one can rewrite the formula as
$$ \lambda - (1-2\mu)=2\mu\cos\theta+i\nu\sin \theta $$ then $\lambda$ is on an ellipse on the complex plane, where the length of the axes are $2\mu$ and $\nu$. $\nu^2\leq 2\mu\leq 1$ implies $2\mu\leq 1$ and $\nu\leq 1$. I have no idea how to go on. An attempt to do it algebraically doesn't seem to work.

Favored Enemy specifically tracks types and subtypes of creatures; becoming an Outsider supplants your normal type, changing the Favored Enemy types you count under. In the flavor, Outsiders are composed of a different essence than other Material beings, making their essence and anatomy subtly different. In RAW, it's a simple type change, with all the things that entails.

When someone kills accidentaly he is sent to live in an ir miklat ("city of refuge") until the Kohen Gadol ("High Priest") dies. This seems like an arbitrary time. What does the Kohen Gadol's death have to do with manslaughter? What's the connection?
Sign up

Lord Sacks addressed this in his weekly message not long ago.
The Talmud explains that the Cohen Gadol bears some minute amount of responsibility; "as he should have begged for compassion." The simple explanation is that G-d gives people the free will and ability to do evil things, but this case concerns a mistake. Had the Cohen Gadol prayed more, perhaps G-d would have prevented the mistake from happening.
Though I've also heard it interpreted: "he should have begged the people to treat each other with mercy", causing an increased value of life throughout the population and therefore better safety practices, ergo less accidents.
An alternative explanation is given by Rambam in his Guide to the Perplexed: when a national tragedy occurs like the death of a Cohen Gadol, the people are united. So the hot-blooded relative of the victim (the "blood redeemer") will put aside his grudge and lose interest in killing the by-mistake ("accident" can imply zero culpability) murderer.
A person who killed accidentally had to stay in the City of Refuge until the Cohen Gadol died. This could be 1 day or 80 years.
If a person killed on purpose or in a completely faultless manner (Onnes), he does not have to stay in the City of Refuge until the Cohen Gadol dies. (Rambam Hilchot Rotzeach 6:3)
Killing someone on purpose is black and white, either he did or he didn't. There are witnesses and warning, and there is no uncertainty. Same thing when killing someone in a completely faultless manner, either it was or it wasn't. There is no gray area.
Killing someone accidentally (Shogeg) on the other hand, enters a zone of uncertainty. How much of the act was purely accidental, and how much of the act was negligence, etc.?
Judging black and white actions can be done by a human court. Judging intent (the thoughts of man), cannot be judged by a human court, only by G-d (who knows the thoughts of man).
Only G-d knows how much of the act was the fault of the person, and therefore G-d decides how much punishment the killer needs. G-d arranges it so that the murderer spends exactly as much time as he needs to to in the City of Refuge, in order to atone for his sin. If the killer was only marginally at fault, he would need to spend less time in the City of Refuge. If it was less of a pure accident, he might need to spend more time there.
As Rashi (Shemot 21:13) tells us:
See the Seforno on Bamidbar 35:25. (See a slightly different take, but essentially the same point, in the Meshech Chochma on the verse, translated and elaborated upon here).
Also Rashi (Bamidbar 35:25) brings two reasons:

I have a road network with paved/unpaved status in attribute table. This road network don't must contain isolated paved geometry. There are any solutions find isolated geometry in GIS software (ArcGIS/QGIS or other)?
It isn't very fancy, but depending on how your line data is drawn it may work:
1) Use the Unsplit Line tool on your road file and have your dissolve field be your paved/unpaved field in your table. This means you will have one large object representing the connected paved roads.
Or if you want your road designation to remain the same, do 1-3 and select from the original road layer the lines that intersect with the roads you have selected in your new layer.
Again, if your road networks do not have vertices in the correct places the Unsplit tool will not work correctly, but it is worth a shot.
I just thought of a fairly simple solution, which assumes the comment I posted on the question is correct:
If so, in ArcGIS you can use the Dissolve tool, dissolving on the attribute that contains paved/unpaved status. (Make sure the "Create Multipart Features" option is selected.)
From the dissolved feature class, you can then delete all features that are classified as unpaved (selected with an attribute query of
From there, you can do a Select By Location on the original road feature class: any road that overlaps the isolated paved roads in the dissolved feature class can be selected.

Happy Birthday, sweetie!
MT have celebrated today, for many hours, with his class mates from school. The photo is from a little present excitement from early this morning, before he went to school. I had a few hours by my self to prepare the party, sadly too few to be as creative as I would have liked. But this week has been soooo busy and tiering already, I just didn't have it in me (and cleaning the house + baking cake took most of the energy I had left anyhow).
Still, the kids had some fun.
I walked them home from school. It was the first time any of them had visited us, so MT had much to show. In their counting of rooms on the first floor (we live in a big house; it's not ours…) they discovered a dead bird, so before the birthday could take off – there was a little funeral in the garden.
Then it was time for the presents (MT LOVES to open presents – off course!), we had a simple dinner, before more indoor play and fun. Lots of music, lots of high happy voices and interacting. It was special fun for me to see them together as a group and get to know MT's friends a little better.
The kids played outside as well, I'm so glad we had a sun filled beautiful spring day. Later in the day we went back in to eat some cake. I had made both chocolate cake and cupcakes – and they ate plenty 😉 Since MT doesn't (normally) like icing on his cupcakes I made two bowls with blue + yellow icing and then a some cake decorating items in a few small bowls. I told them to decorate the cakes themselves using whatever they liked. They had so much fun – and the cupcakes looked wonderfully sweet (pun intended) by the time they got around to eat them. Even MT loved the icing this time…. LOL.
At the end of the party I hid some candy for them outside, took a close up photo of each place a treasure was hidden, showed them the photo hints and let them go treasure hunting. They had so much fun! Some found their treasure fast others had to get help searching before they found it. I love that something so simple work so good!
Now MT is in bed and I'm sitting here by the computer, almost falling asleep, but I wanted to put the day in words before I forgot it. Photos will hopefully follow another day. Tomorrow is another busy day – and the start of our confirmant camp weekend. Yahoo!
Can't tell you how glad I am for having next Monday off – and for MT to be home as well – we're going to be walking around in our PJ's all day long!
Sleep tight!

Indoor cycles are popular not because of their convenience features but because of their abilities in helping you torch some calories and fats.
However, you won't be able to maximize their benefits if you don't know the proper way to use them.
The best indoor cycling bike of the year is especially designed to mimic not just the feel but also the fitness benefits of a regular bike. Cycles like this are easy to adjust but this will depend on the model and unit you use. They will help you workout just like you will on a real bike, which means you can stand, sit and do climbing positions to get a full workout for your legs.
What features you can look forward to?
Indoor bikes provide different features. Some have functionalities that you can't see from other units.
Those units that use a magnetic system can offer you the resistance that you need for a silent ride. This means that you can have your workout inside your living room without having to wake up the rest of your household members. The resistance levels are different from one person to anothe, so you'll need to adjust it according to the level that you can endure.
Indoor cycles that are in the higher-priced range have unlimited adjustments. With this in mind, you can adjust their settings to fit your body size, type and fitness level.
Make sure that the bike you're planning to use is made of durable materials. In this way, it won't break down easily. It must be durable and strong enough to support you while you're trying to get rid of your extra fats.
Can they tell how much calories you're burning?
This is a type of feature that is not present to all indoor cycles. If you do want to know the amount of
calories you've burned, then be sure that you opt for an indoor bike with built-in computer. This way, you'll know exactly how hard you're
doing and how much time you need to spend just to achieve your goal. You can even choose a unit that reads your heart rate.

A slightly more musical way of saying "insanity". It was once an accepted medical term, but like "retarded" and "dwarf" it has fallen by the wayside. The word derives from the belief that mental illness is somehow related to the phases of the moon, a conviction widely held until it was debunked by the advent of modern medicine.

Mental Capacity and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards
The Mental Capacity Act came into force on 1 October 2007. It aims to protect people who cannot make decisions for themselves for any reason. It provides clear guidelines for carers and professionals about who can take decisions in which situations.
The Act states that everyone should be treated as being able to make their own decisions, until it is shown that they are not. It also aims to enable people to make their own decisions for as long as they are capable of doing so.
A person's capacity to make a decision will be established at the time that a decision needs to be made. A lack of capacity could be because of mental health problems, dementia, a severe learning disability, a brain injury, a stroke or unconsciousness due to an anaesthetic or a sudden accident.
It also makes it a criminal offence of neglect or ill-treatment of a person who lacks capacity. An explanatory document is available to download from this page.
Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards
The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards have been introduced into the Mental Capacity Act 2005 by the Mental Health Act 2007.
The safeguards provide a framework for approving the deprivation of liberty for people who lack the capacity to consent to care or treatment in either a hospital or care home that, in their own best interests, can only be provided in circumstances that amount to a deprivation of liberty.
The legislation contains detailed requirements about when and how deprivation of liberty may be authorised. It provides for an assessment process that must be undertaken before deprivation of liberty may be authorised and detailed arrangements for renewing and challenging the authorisation of deprivation of liberty.
Managing Authorities
It is the responsibility of the managing authorities (care homes and hospitals) to request an authorisation from the supervisory bodies. If you need to refer to the council please do so using the fax/email below and attaching the correct forms.

For instance, in planning an expansion, the choice of dryer came up for review. The existing operation used rotary dryers that often over-dried the product or even melted it on the lifters, requiring a significant amount of downtime. The product was very cohesive even when…

Given an integral equation is there always a differential equation which has the same (say smooth) solutions? It seems like not but can one prove this in some example?
Edit: Naively I'm hoping for some algorithm which takes an integral equation and applies some operations like taking derivatives, substituting variables for some new ones, adding additional differential equations etc... such that after this procedure you have made all integral signs vanish and obtained a differential equation which has the same solutions as the integral eqution. (maybe similarly to how one can transform any system of PDEs into a system of first order equations)
