Mourinho press conference
According to Jose Mourinho, "the goal is to make this team as stable and consistent as possible" while Real Madrid also "continue winning."
What I liked most about Saturday's match is that we didn't need 35 shots to score two goals like we did against Ajax.
Cristiano Ronaldo:
Cristiano Ronaldo has made it this far thanks to both his skills and his shortcomings. That is how he won the Ballon d'Or, the Champions League, titles, prestige… He works hard every day and on the pitch. He provides a lot of help to his teammates. He is a fantastic player.
Canales' injury:
Sergio Canales is very talented but he has a lot to learn. He's on the right track and he works very hard. The kid has it all to be very good. It's a shame he is injured and will be out some time, but he will return.
Why is this team struggling to score:
A team that is already built is one thing. Another is one that is in development. Once it is complete is when you can change five or six players around without affecting the dynamic.
The goal is to make this team as stable and consistent as possible. Development and stability are much more important that dynamics or the intensity that I can provide, which is why I don't think I am ready to make any major changes to the team's structure.
Is it the fixtures:
The issue isn't the number of matches in such a short time. It's not about having played two or three days ago. It's about the accumulation of fatigue. We'll be right back on the pitch in two days time.
Espanyol is a talented team that knows how to play good football. They will come here to win, just like every team does. We aren't top in the table, but we're right there. We have a lot of teams under us and few over us. We need to continue winning and maintaining stability.
Coaching Real Madrid:
From a prestige standpoint, becoming coach of Real Madrid is like reaching the moon. It is the most important club in the world. It means I've made it to the pinnacle, but I haven't won anything yet. We will see if we make history, but it's still history that has to be made.
The future:
The last ten years have passed very quickly. I am just as passionate now as I was when I started, and I don't think anything will change over the next ten. I think I will be like Ferguson. I will be 70 years old and still be as passionate about coaching as I am now.

Explanatory models: what about "holism"?The previous post distinguished two very general models for explaining a phenomenon: mechanism, defined by the primary role it gives to causation; and agency, defined by the parallel primary role it gives to will or purpose. What was absent was a term that a fair number of people would view as a possible alternative to, and improvement over, both -- "holism". In this note I just want to say why it was left out -- why, in other words, I think it's not really an alternative, much less an improvement, to either.
The short answer is that holism is not actually an explanatory model as such at all, but rather a set of explanatory guidelines at best, and an avoidance of explanation altogether at worst. Like many "isms", holism comes in a range of flavors or versions, from what's usually called "weak" at one end of the spectrum to "strong" at the other end. In all versions, I think, we can distinguish two broad aspects or themes to holism: that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and that context or environment is important in understanding a system. Let's briefly look at both:
That the whole is greater than the sum of the parts:
In weak or moderate versions of holism, this notion is certainly valid, but largely a truism -- any machine, after all, is greater than the simple sum of its parts in the obvious sense that the structure or relationship of the parts is a vital aspect of its functioning -- and understanding the mechanism of any phenomenon entails an understanding of how the parts interrelate. In its mild form, admittedly, this theme can sometimes provide useful advice when dealing with particularly subtle or complex phenomena, where the "whole" may not be immediately evident. But in its stronger versions, this idea is often taken to imply that the "whole" contains some mysterious extra quality or ingredient that is impervious to analysis, and this simply becomes a way of refusing or blocking explanation altogether.
That context matters:
This theme, in moderate versions of holism, is actually quite important -- the behavior of many systems is quite dependent upon the environment in which they're situated, and may change drastically if that context is changed. It may still, of course, be a reasonable strategy to try to gain as good an understanding as possible of the system in isolation (a simpler problem), while realizing that a full or real-world understanding will need to include the larger "whole" of which the system is a part. That said, however, this theme too is frequently taken to untenable extremes in the "stronger" or more mystical versions of holism, where it's used to assert that "everything is connected" and hence nothing can be studied, understood or explained in itself.
So: "holism" in its more moderate flavors can add a helpful perspective to an explanatory project, but hardly qualifies as an explanatory model in itself; and in its stronger flavors, it tends to become a means of opposing explanation as such (sometimes, perhaps, in an effort to protect a favored belief, or sometimes just in the service of mystery itself).

Assistant Professors: M. Kuchera, Thompson
Visiting Assistant Professor: Kharel, A. Kuchera
Physics 120 or 130 is a prerequisite to a major in physics. Only with specific permission of the department chair can Physics 118 satisfy this prerequisite. The major consists of ten physics courses: 200, 220 or 230, 310, 320, 330, 335, 350, and 360; the mathematics requirement; and one course chosen from courses numbered 400 to 460. If Physics 201 is not taken to fulfill the mathematics requirement, then an additional physics course is required at the 400 level with the approval of the department.
Either Physics 201 or both Mathematics 150 and 160 will satisfy the mathematics requirement. The math requirement should be satisfied by the end of the sophomore year if possible. Physics 201 may not be taken in the senior year to satisfy this requirement.
Students seeking to complete the dual degree engineering (3-2) track with a physics major are required to take the following courses in order to receive a B.S. degree in Physics from Davidson: Physics 230, 310, 320, 335; the mathematics requirement; and two courses chosen from 330, 350, and 360.
A minor in Astrophysics consists of the departmental mathematics requirement and five courses: Physics 106, 220 or 230, 320, 330, and 410. Physics 200 is recommended. A student may do a major in physics or a minor in physics, but not both.
A minor in Experimental Physics consists of six courses: Physics 106 or 116, 220 or 230, 310, 320, 335, and one additional Physics course numbered 200 or above. A student may do a major in physics or a minor in physics, but not both.
In addition to completing the requirements for a major in physics, a candidate for honors in physics must submit a written thesis covering an independent research project. Such a project may be based upon work completed in Physics 495, 496, or in an undergraduate research program on or away from campus that is approved by the department. Applications for honors in physics should be made in writing to the chair of the department no later than the end of the junior year.
The awarding of honors in physics is based on:
Students who are interested in applied mathematics are encouraged to consider the Applied Mathematics Interdisciplinary Minor. The minor offers a track for students interested primarily in the natural sciences and another track for students interested primarily in the social sciences. The minor is described in detail in this catalog under interdisciplinary minors.
Students who are interested in computer science are invited to investigate the Computer Science Minor as described in the Computer Science section of this catalog. Physics courses involved in the computer science minor are Physics 200, 310, and 397. The student who intends to pursue graduate study in computer science should major in physics or mathematics or take upper-level physics and math courses to augment the Computer Science Minor.
The 100-level courses in Physics are open to all students. Courses numbered between 100 and 115 are topical in nature and are primarily for non-science majors, and courses numbered 120 and 130 are entry-level introductory courses at the algebra- and calculus-based levels, respectively, for both majors and non-majors.
The 200-level courses are second-level introductory courses open to all students who have taken PHY 120 or 130 or, in the case of PHY 201, who have taken MAT 135.
The 300-level courses are intermediate-level courses designed for physics majors and other students who have the suitable prerequisites. PHY 310, 320, and 330 are open to students who have taken PHY 220 or 230. PHY 335, 350 and 360 are open to students who have taken previous 300-level courses.
The 400-level courses are advanced courses available only to physics majors or other students with the proper prerequisites. Independent study and independent research courses numbered 390-399 and 490-499 are available to qualified students with permission of the instructor.

Differential equations is a central area of mathematics, and one of its recent and most important applications is in mathematical biology and medicine. In today's integrative and interdisciplinary research climate, mathematical biosciences and engineering is quickly evolving from a mainstream area of study into a core and hot domain of scientific activities. The newly launched journal of Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering underlines this exciting scenario.
My current and past research interests cover almost the full spectrum of differential equations, mathematical and computational biosciences.
My recent interests in this area are focused on stoichiometry based population models and their implications. These models carefully imbed the powerful and natural chemical heterogeneity that innate to all biomasses. This is a solid platform for understanding most of the complex dynamics found in biosciences, including the current issues on biocomplexity and biodiversity. It naturally connects gene to individual growth through the so-called growth rate hypothesis, and this in turn connects all the way to complex ecosystem dynamics. The ratio-dependent population models provide natural mechanisms for the deterministic total extinction of all species. These painfully formulated and systematically studied mathematical models can often reveal deep biological insights that are important for our efforts in protect and managing our fragile ecosystems and vast but diminishing biodiversity. Questions we ask include such as what mechanisms allow species to coexist, why and how species evolves and what causes species go extinct.
All my recent papers are the results of close collaborations involving a group of extremely competent and leading researchers in biomathematics and theoretical biology. Below are some of my relevant papers on these topics.

My interests in this area are deep and far reaching. My well received monograph on Delay Differential Equations with Applications in Population Dynamics is sold out in 2001. Time permitting, I will develop a second edition or a sequel. Due to the intrinsic time delays in all life processes and the complexity of the observed dynamics in such processes, delay differential equation becomes a popular choice for modeling most life science problems. Recent theoretical and computational progresses make this choice a highly fruitful one. My interest in this deep rooted field of mathematics will continue in earnest and will always be motivated by important issues of biology and medicine.

François Hollande would be eliminated in all cases in the first round of presidential elections according to a TNS Sofres poll for-OnePoint Le Figaro LCI and released Tuesday, while Alain Juppé and Nicolas Sarkozy and Marine Le Pen would they qualified for the second round. This poll is testing nine different assumptions of candidates left and right each time with Nathalie Arthaud (LO), Philippe Poutou (NPA), Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Cécile Duflot (EELV), Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (DLF), Jacques Cheminade and Marine Le Pen (FN).
François Hollande is between 11 points in the first round (assuming Emmanuel Macron, François Bayrou and Nicolas Sarkozy candidates facing him or in the event and Alain Emmanuel Macron Juppe) and 15 points if it is against Nicolas Sarkozy as an additional candidate, besides the seven tested in all cases. Whichever candidate left, Hollande is beaten in the first round, while in the six hypotheses tested with former Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron, it would get more votes than the head of state, from 15 to 20% depending on case. The former Minister of Productive Recovery Arnaud Montebourg gets him 5 to 7% depending on the assumptions.
Alain Juppe 33%
Jean-Luc Mélenchon gets meanwhile 10 to 13% of the vote, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan of 3 to 7%, Cécile Duflot 2 to 4.5%. Philippe Poutou does not exceed 2.5%, 2% and Nathalie Arthaud Jacques Cheminade 1%. In all tested hypotheses, it is the candidates LR (Alain Juppé and Nicolas Sarkozy) and Marine Le Pen for the National Front who would qualify for the second round. The mayor of Bordeaux realize his highest score (33%, -2) against Marine Le Pen (29%) and François Hollande (14%). This is the only case among new where Marine Le Pen would not be in the lead in the first round.
In the same configuration but with Nicolas Sarkozy won the primary rather Alain Juppe, the first would get 27% of the vote against 29% for the extreme right leader. It oscillates between 26 and 29% of the vote according to the assumptions. For supporters of the left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon (23%) would be "the best left candidate for the 2017 presidential election," before Francois Hollande (20%), Emmanuel Macron (18%), Manuel Valls ( 9%) and Arnaud Montebourg (8%). François Hollande (33%) ahead of Emmanuel Macron (26%) among single PS sympathizers. Online survey conducted September 2 to 5 with a "sample of 1006 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over" by the quota method.

General Motors Ignition Switch Compensation – Deadline Extended
Posted on Tuesday, November 18th, 2014 at 11:11 pm
In 2003, Jean Averill was killed in a car accident after her vehicle swerved off the road and hit a tree. Ten years later, her family has learned that Ms. Averill was one of the thirteen individuals General Motors' legal department linked to the deadly ignition defect found in their vehicles. This defect resulted in G.M. recalling 2.6 Million vehicles. Investigations of the company are still in process and additional defects have surfaced, resulting in G.M. recalling a total of 26 million vehicles this year. The recall is still in effect and you can check to see if your G.M. model was included here.
The problem was in the ignition switch, which was randomly shutting off because the defective switch plunger was not supplying enough torque. When this happened during the course of a driver operating the vehicle, it caused the driver to lose power steering and often resulted in the car swerving off the road, colliding with another object, and failing to deploy the airbag.
G.M. did not inform Ms. Averill's family of the connection of her death to the defective ignition switch; Neither did they inform the families of the other twelve victims. Still, the company claims that their "goal has been to reach every eligible person affected." They have since extended the deadline to file a claim under their faulty ignition-switch compensation fund to January 31, 2015.
If you or someone you know was injured or suffered a loss due to G.M.'s faulty ignition-switch and/or other defect, Roberts Wilson PA is here to help you recover the compensation you are entitled to.
We are available by phone 24 hours a day and are happy to review your claim at no cost to you. We are personally committed to serving Mississippians affected by G.M.'s failure to provide reliable and safe cars. We never charge a fee unless a claim is successful. Please contact Roberts Wilson PA by calling (662) 533-9111 or by sending an email to email@example.com.

Otto targets affluent youth fashion market
Otto, the catalogue giant, is launching a new fashion branded catalogue named Oli later in the summer.
The catalogue is aimed at a more affluent, youthful market and will offer high-street fashion as well as a host of accessories for the fashion-conscious consumer.
The launch will be the second this year for Otto UK, the owners of the Freemans and Grattan catalogue brands.
Last month the Bradford-based company unveiled Montage, a catalogue and online women's wear home-shopping service, also aimed at an affluent market. Each year, the company will publish nine seasonal catalogues under the Montage brand in a breakaway from the traditional model of two catalogue seasons a year.
Earlier this year, the company appointed Golley Slater to handle its £8m advertising business and the launch of Montage, through direct mail, digital and press advertising, after a competitive pitch against Publicis and Euro RSCG.
Last year the mail order company appointed PHD North to handle its media planning and buying (MW October 12, 2006). It won the business from MediaVest Manchester.
Otto also restructured its marketing operations and hired Colin Webb, the former Boots and Norwich Union marketing chief as UK group commercial director (MW, July 6). It was part of a drive by Otto UK chief executive Mike Hancox to revitalise the UK business. He was poached from rival Littlewoods.

Mobile Limits the Data Usage in Canada and Mexico to 5 GB
- Author: Fernando Stephens Oct 16, 2017,
Oct 16, 2017, 1:02
The carrier did state that "less than 1% of people" on the plan used over 5GB a month when traveling. One of those options was the Mobile Without Borders plan that provided unlimited LTE data when customers traveled to Canada or Mexico. Starting on 12 November, the LTE speed will drop to 256Kbps for Oneplus users and 128Kbps for other users after the daily limit has been reached.
Looking at the general scheme of things, this limitation will affect heavier users, but if you go on a vacation for just a few days, you should be fine with the 5GB data allowance. That's thanks to the company's Mobile Without Borders perk, which was implemented in 2015.
Also, you may have less data to play with if you aren't subscribed to an unlimited plan. For T-Mobile One customers, the One Plus worldwide option can be added for an extra $25 per month, and that'll get you unlimited high-speed data when venturing across the border. T-Mobile wrote, "Starting November 12, 2017 customers on T-Mobile ONE, Simple Choice North America, or legacy rate plans with a qualifying feature will receive unlimited talk, text and data with a maximum of 5GB of 4G LTE".
T-Mobile customers can track their LTE usage in Canada and Mexico by dialing the short code #WEB# on their phone. We all know that "unlimited" really isn't unlimited though and when the T-Mobile One plan debuted it had a cap of 32GB of use per month before data prioritization. Either way, T-Mobile says that less than 1 percent of users who travel to either country use over 5GB in a month.
"Mobile Without Borders is an incredible benefit and allows customers to stay connected when traveling in Canada and Mexico", T-Mobile said.

Investigating the effects of elevated temperature on Tomato spotted wilt virus accumulation and expression of putative heat-shock protein genes in the insect vector, Frankliniella occidentalis
Scientists estimate that the increase in temperatures in terrestrial ecosystems will expand the geographical limits of arthropod vector-borne pathogens. Effects of elevated temperatures have been documented for arthropods that vector animal- and plant-infecting pathogens. We study the virus-vector relationship of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Frankliniella occidentalis. We hypothesize that enhanced efficiency of transmission at higher temperatures is explained, in part, by increased accumulation (titer) of TSWV in the vector, which may be associated with expression of heat-shock protein (HSP). For this, we designed an experiment to quantify the effect of temperature (19°C, 24°C, and 29°C) on TSWV titer during development and transmission efficiency as adults and to determine the relationship between titer and transcript abundance of HSP. We found an increase in virus titer and transmission at 24°C and 29°C compared to 19°C, and a significant positive correlation between titer and HSP70 at 29°C and 19°C.

Optical Flow Measurement of Cavitation in a Converging-Diverging Nozzle
Cavitation is a phenomenon where liquids will vaporize when subjected to low pressures. Essentially, the pressure is reduced sufficiently such that the liquid boils at the given temperature. The highest pressure at which cavitation could occur is called the vapor pressure. However, the pressure associated with the onset of cavitation could be lower than the vapor pressure. This indicates the liquid exists under a meta-stable condition. The cavitation pressure can be significantly below the vapor pressure and the lowest pressure at which cavitation onset could occur is called the spinodal pressure. Cavitation can occur in external flow, such as flow around hydrofoils and propeller blades, and internal flow, such as capillary tubes and nozzles. For the present research a converging-diverging nozzle was chosen for analysis. There has been little to no research done on the detailed flow characteristics of cavitating liquids near the onset of cavitation in nozzles. The main objectives are to obtain measurements of both overall flow as well as more detailed velocity profile characteristics of cavitation onset in a converging-diverging nozzle using high-speed imagery and particle image velocimetry (PIV). The experimental set-up places the nozzle oriented vertically between two reservoirs. The upstream reservoir supplies liquid water flow entering the nozzle and is open to the atmosphere while the downstream reservoir is partially evacuated. The main region of study is the vicinity of the throat, near where the pressure is a minimum and cavitation onset occurs. This work provides support for on-going analysis of cavitation in converging-diverging nozzle flow.

Dosing of Horses with Megasphaera elsdenii and its Impact on Cecal Volatile Fatty Acid Production
The digestive system of a horse contains a large number of microorganisms, with the majority located in the hindgut. This microbial community is responsible for degradation of feedstuff to allow absorption and utilization of essential intermediate substrates—namely volatile fatty acids—while maintaining a normal pH level. Native bacteria, referred to as lactate-utilizing bacteria (LUB), prevent the accumulation of excessive lactate, which can cause laminitis, a debilitating and often life-threatening condition in the horse. One LUB found in the hindgut of the horse is called Megasphaera elsdenii (ME). Megasphaera elsdenii is a gram-negative bacterium that is being investigated as a probiotic supplement for ruminants, as it may provide benefits for energy balance and animal productivity. It is of biotechnological interest due to its capability of producing various volatile fatty acids, which are primary energy sources for horses. Measuring cecal VFAs from horses dosed with Megasphaera elsdenii will provide valuable information regarding ME's ability to survive transit through the foregut and its subsequent ability to impact fermentation in the hindgut.

Effects of nitrite infusion on exercising skeletal muscle vascular control in chronic heart failure rats
Diminished nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in chronic heart failure (CHF) underlies, in part, impaired vascular control, reduced muscle blood flow (BF), and exercise intolerance. Nitrite (NO2-) has been implicated as a major storage pool of NO. We tested the hypothesis that NO2- infusion would increase exercising skeletal muscle BF and vascular conductance (VC) in CHF rats. CHF was induced in 7 adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats (coronary artery ligation). After 21 days, skeletal muscle BF (radiolabelled microspheres) and mean arterial pressure (MAP; carotid artery catheter) were measured during submaximal treadmill exercise (20 m/min, 5% incline) prior to (CHF) and following NO2- infusion (CHF+NO2-, 5 mg/kg). Following microsphere infusion, blood was sampled to determine exercising blood [lactate]. Exercising skeletal muscle BF (CHF: 103±9, CHF+NO2-: 112±8 ml/min/100g; p=0.18) and MAP (CHF: 123±5, CHF+NO2-: 120±5 mmHg, p=0.33) was not different between groups. NO2- increased exercising skeletal muscle VC (CHF: 0.86±0.10, CHF+NO2‑: 0.91±0.10 ml/min/100g/mmHg; p<0.05) and blood [lactate] (CHF: 1.5±0.2, CHF+NO2-: 3.4±0.4 mmol/L, p<0.05). These data suggest that NO2- may improve exercising vascular control in CHF rats. Further investigations are needed to determine doses that maximize vascular and metabolic function.

Field Measurement of Airflow through Aircraft Cabin Gaspers
The threat of contaminants being circulated by an aircraft's air system is an increasing concern. This project's goal was to develop a method of measuring airflow from aircraft cabin gaspers. Using a wide funnel balometer, it was discovered that the number of open gaspers and their position caused airflow patterns to change affecting measurements. Modifications, including a baffled insert and later an in-line flow mixer, were applied to disrupt airflow patterns that developed inside the device, and an anemometer housing tube extension was installed to provide more distance for the flow pattern to develop. These modifications did help, but the results still varied depending on gasper position. The final balometer design used a smaller air capture funnel, which could only take measurements from one gasper. This device provided consistent measurements and proved that a single gasper balometer could be used to measure airflow from cabin gaspers with decent accuracy.

Activity Levels of Plathemis lydia
Common Whitetail (Plathemis lydia) males are documented as being highly territorial, maintaining territories on the edge of streams and ponds where they display for reproductive females. In this study, I tested the hypothesis that P. lydia males spend more time defending landmarks than open water sites. Landmarks are defined as an object protruding from the water that functions as a central site for patrol. The study site was a human-made, spring fed pond on the Konza Prairie Biological Station in Riley County Kansas. Ten locations around the pond, with an average of 13m between locations, were selected and the behaviors of male P. lydia (flybys/activity, hovering, resting, fighting, and guarding) were recorded. Each location had a landmark and an open water site, an average of 3.5m apart. Over eight days there were 40 total observations, ten minutes at each site. The data indicate that there is a significantly positive correlation between temperature and activity levels. Guarding and fighting (p=0.043) were significantly more frequent at landmark sites than at open water sites. Activity levels (number of flybys) were significantly higher at open water sites than at landmark sites (n=40, p=0.0003). The increased activity over open water also suggests that males defend landmarks, allowing more animals to patrol outside those territories.

Effects of Prostaglandin Fα Injection at Breeding on Conception Rates of Beef Heifers Subject to Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination
The objective of this study was to determine if an injection of exogenous PGF2α at the time of artificial insemination (AI) increased pregnancy rate of beef heifers compared with heifers that did not receive an injection of PGF2α at the time of artificial insemination. A fixed-timed AI protocol (7-day Co-Synch + Controlled intravaginal drug release; CIDR) was used to synchronize beef heifers (n = 97; initial BW= 631 ± 58 lbs) originating from the Kansas State University Commercial Cow-Calf Unit in Manhattan, KS. Heifers were stratified by hide color, age, BW, and reproductive-tract score and assigned randomly to either a GnRH or GnRH + PGF2α injection at the time of AI. Fifty-four h after CIDR removal, heifers were exposed for timed AI; 2 fertile bulls were released with the heifers 48 h after AI. The bulls were removed 41 d after natural service exposure began. Heifers were examined for pregnancy by transrectal ultrasonography 43 d after timed AI. Conception to AI (41%) was similar (P = 0.47) between treatments; moreover, timed-AI + first natural service pregnancy rates (60%) did not differ (P = 0.90). Under the conditions of our study, injection of exogenous PGF2α did not influence pregnancy to timed AI or first natural service.

The Language of Trauma: Empathy and Identity Formation in Young Adult Novels
In literature the element of trauma will cause change in the character experiencing the event. However, through the characters and language utilized in novels readers may also be subject to change. This seems especially true of young readers who come into contact with depictions of trauma in Young Adult (YA) novels. This is because these readers are already at a sensitive time in their lives when they are discovering and developing their own identities and therefore they may internalize what they read in YA novels in regards to trauma and how it can be dealt with. Through research of literary articles about trauma and by close reading passages from the YA novels Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and Smoke by Ellen Hopkins, I will demonstrate how the language of trauma in YA novels can influence young readers.

Effect of anti-inflammatory drug sodium salicylate on fatty acid or LPS induced cellular stress of mammary gland epithelial cells
Sodium salicylate (SS) has been widely used as an anti-inflammatory drug, and is thought to act in part by mitigating stress within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To initiate cellular stress, palmitic acid (PALM) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used. We hypothesized that SS would have a protective effect against PALM and LPS treatment in mammary gland epithelial (MAC-T) cells. In the first experiment there were 4 treatments: control, SS (50 μM), PALM (250 μM), and their combination. Treatments were applied during a 24-h incubation before analysis of apoptosis with TUNEL assay. In the second experiment, MAC-T cells were treated with control, SS (50 uM), low or high doses of LPS (50 μM and 100 μM), or in combination of SS with low or high doses of LPS. First, SS was applied, then after 5 min, LPS was applied to MAC-T cells. After 24 h of treatment, RNA was isolated and reverse transcribed to cDNA for quantitative real-time PCR analysis of transcript abundance of both IRAK1 (p< 0.05) and NRF2 (p <0.01), two genes that are activated in response to inflammation or oxidative stress. Surprisingly LPS did not significantly induce IRAK1 transcript abundance and it decreased abundance of NRF2 (p< 0.05). Overall, SS had a limited protective effect on stressed MAC-T cells.

Coping and Resilience in Families with Chronic Childhood Illness
How do families of chronically ill children cope? To investigate this question, six families who currently have a chronically ill child participated in 30-60 minutes interviews consisting of open-ended questions about their challenges and coping strategies employed to tackle them. Transcripts of interviews were then analyzed for main themes. Some of the coping strategies utilized by families of chronically ill children included learning more and becoming more informed about the child's condition, employing the help of family members and the support of friends. Some families relied heavily on faith as a means of coping. In general, families of chronically ill faced a number of challenges including strenuous family relationships. Another challenge faced was having to deal with multiple medical conditions. These families provided recommendations for other families going through similar situations.

Legacies of Settler Colonialism: Latinx Immigration and Attrition through Enforcement
While the U.S. congress consistently fails to pass any variation of a comprehensive immigration reform policy, states have begun to move towards attrition through enforcement, or self-deportation, immigration policies. This essay explores the ways in which ideologies of settler colonialism are reflected in these state-based attrition through enforcement immigration policies. I reviewed a body of literature that discusses the structure of settler colonialism and U.S. immigration practices. In addition I chose the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act (H.B. 56) as a case study. I collected data surrounding the passage and partial repeal of H.B. 56 and the response that the Latinx community had to its passage. I found that attrition through enforcement policies are not effective at decreasing the Latinx population but they are effective at creating the conditions for the exploitation of the Latinx population.

Writing Nationalism: Thomas Davis and Education Reform in Ireland Under the Union
This project began in seeking to understand the role of the Protestant Irish Nationalist and writer Thomas Davis in promoting Irish nationalism in 1840s Ireland. This process included identifying the condition of the national consciousness of Ireland following the Act of Union and the measures taken by Irish nationalists prior to Davis, such as Daniel O'Connell. The next step was to identify the specific nationalist movements Davis was involved in—the Repeal Association, the Young Ireland Movement, and The Nation newspaper—and their characteristics. In addition to this, a span of research was done in seeking to understand the different genres of nationalism expressed in Ireland throughout the nineteenth century. The goal of this project was to review the writings of Davis alongside these secondary sources in order to understand his significance in the development of Irish nationalism. An analysis was conducted of four essays written by Davis, all published in The Nation between July 1844 and May 1845, regarding education reform in order to establish an Irish national consciousness capable of obtaining independence from Great Britain. These four essays and the development of Davis' overarching argument for education reform depict the shift that was occurring in Ireland from constitutional nationalism to revolutionary nationalism. This shift can be seen by the turn Davis makes in his writings from appealing to institutions to appealing directly to the people to take responsibility for their education and the education of Ireland. In addition to this, Davis portrayed himself in these writings as taking on an even more significant role as a romantic nationalist through his push for the development of an Irish national consciousness.

Kansas Operation Military Kids Summer Program Evaluations: From Effort to Effectiveness
Kansas Operation: Military Kids (OMK) is a federally funded program of K-State Research and Extension, which provides non-formal education and social activities to military connected youth and their families. Kansas OMK conducts day camps, retreats and community events for on and off installation military-connected youth, but these programs have not been systematically evaluated. The McNair researcher designed, piloted, and implemented an evaluation process of Kansas OMK programs to assess their impact on science knowledge, health awareness, social/emotional learning, and positive relationship development among youth participants. The program evaluation used a participatory approach and included triangulation of information collected through participant pre/post surveys, direct observations, and After Activity Reviews (AAR) with staff and stakeholders. Evaluation data was collected during three Kansas OMK day camps, which served thirty-five youth (ages 7-12), primarily from civilian communities. Frequency and content analysis of evaluation data led to recommendations that will aid Kansas Operation: Military Kids program staff in program improvement.

The Political and Racial Divide: Potential Consequences for Racial Inequality Instruction
Instructors teach about racial inequality in several university courses, often framing it as majority privilege (i.e., White privilege) and minority disadvantage. Framing affects the extent to which White participants feel personally responsible for racial inequality (Powell, Branscombe, & Schmitt, 2005), while political orientation (PO) affects the extent to which White participants feel that minorities are responsible (Kay, Czaplinski, & Jost, 2008). In this study we manipulated racial inequality framing as personal or collective White privilege, or as Black disadvantage. PO predicted several attitudes related to WP regardless of inequality framing. However, feelings of remorse and a willingness to confront WP were related to PO only when the framing allowed for participants to avoid personally contributing to or taking advantage of WP, i.e., in the collective privilege condition. As the framing made it harder to dismiss or avoid responsibility for racial inequality, PO became less predictive of the acknowledgement of WP.

Interest in global public opinion of the United States is on the rise. Organizations such as the Pew Research Center ask foreign populations a variety of questions related to the United States and perceptions of the country and people. Existing literature on what influences foreign public opinion is widespread, but there is little previous research that specifically looks at public support for drone strikes. Quantitative data on trade ties, economic aid, religion, intergovernmental organizations, regime type, and alliances were collected on China, Germany, and Pakistan. These variables were then compared between those countries to determine if there was a relationship between those variables and foreign public opinion for United States drone strikes.

Shout Out To Strout
Of course, Strout has already been well-discovered, a well-deserved discovery. I confess: When an author receives a lot of hype, I often recoil, avoid that writer out of...could it be the snobbish notion that anyone who achieves wide-spread acclaim must appeal to the lowest common denominator? Does it have to do with a perverse desire to be an individualist, as a reader, to really discover a writer who has been lost or overlooked? Could it be the pesky green-eyed monster? Perhaps any or all of the above.
Despite these obstacles, I've come, finalmente, to Strout's work. Here I am in the midst of Amy and Isabelle, a full decade after it's publication, long after it's bestseller stardom. And I barely want to take a break from this enveloping read to write this post.
Amy and Isabelle is a mother-daughter story, that begins ordinarily enough in a claustrophobic Maine town, dealing with quotidian concerns, but builds toward a climax as violent and gripping as any Greek tragedy. Strout balances on that tricky tightrope between humor and tragedy. (If you are like me, you will find yourself laughing out loud in parts, your eyes burning in others). You know that experience where you are riding the wave of a wonderful book and only think, my book, must get back to my book, well, that's what I'm feeling about Amy and Isabelle.
Strout captures the complexities and contradictions of the mother-daughter bond, the fierce love and loathing. Though she focuses on the details of small-town life and its struggles and the petty and internecine relationships, there are scenes of such raw power, violence, and longing, they are indelible.
I admit: I am a mother of a 16-year-old, too, though my teen is a boy. I'm blessed to have a girl too, who is inching up toward teen-hood fast. But my admiration and engagement with Amy and Isabelle, with Strout's meticulously observed people and places, transcends that simplistic and diminishing notion of "identifying" with a world or a character. I come from a different world. I am discovering a new world. Strout is making an ordinary world, simple lives, fresh, intimate, unsparing, astonishingly real.
Elizabeth, if you come upon this, I hope you are writing. Don't want to run out of Strout.

Discovering a new author is always a joy, particularly when you know nothing about them or their work and when you finally sit down to read their words, the surprise that hits you and the satisfaction that builds ten pages in, twenty pages in, until you reach 50 and you`re hooked.
I have bought so much crap in my day that I am very cautious now when I see publishers hype about a new author, or someone that has existed for a while and has a new work.
Take Kate Grenville. She`s an Aussie and wrote a book called `The Secret River` a few years back. Won the Commonwealth Writers Prize and it was a great book about one of Australia`s first settlers settling his debt to society and homesteading on Hawkesbury River.
Then I read Discovering the Secret River: A Writer`s Memoir, all about how Grenville went about writing her book, how she toyed with the idea of writing a straight biographical book about her great-great-great-grandfather and how it morphed into the novel that it is. She found that writing straight biography was boring writing and fiction made the story come alive. In fact, the Memoir was almost a better read than the novel itself, because it revealed so much about the process of writing and frankly how difficult it is to translate a story onto the page and make it believable for all.
Grenville is the first author I ever met in person, attending one of her readings in Canberra while living in Australia in 2005. The room was packed with over 100 people inbibing of wine and nibblies. And even then, her exploration of the explosive meeting of white settler with black aboriginal was controversial. The audience was polite, but there was a black undercurrent that hummed; they didn`t like their dirty laundry being exposed in public.
Grenville will, I think, remain with me for the rest of my life. She made an impression on me, of an author who was willing to take a risk, to peel back the layers of polite subterfuge and expose how it probably was when White met Black in the outback of Australia.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Tim McGraw
10. The McGraw family has strict social media rules.
Tim McGraw doesn't operate his own Twitter account. Aside from a message here and there, he trusts his team to get the word out on what's going with his career. The blackout extends to his family, as well. During an interview with Taste of Country he shared that his daughters don't have Twitter accounts either, and that the family has social media rules. He wouldn't divulge what they were, however. Needless to say, if you see a tweet from a Gracie McGraw, you can be sure it's a phony.

Isn't camming fast money?
I have been asked this many times by new models who have started and didn't advance as quickly as they had anticipated they would. Being a webcam model is rarely a "get rich quick" kind of job, unless you're a celebrity already.
One thing to remember is that the models who rise the fastest are the ones who treat their time online like a job.
I had a long discussion with a top model from another cam site, and she explained it best. Being a webcam model is most like being a YouTube star. No YouTube star started with millions of followers, just like no model starts with a huge fan base.
Not only do you have to show members that you are the woman of their dreams, you also have to hone your skills online as well. There is so much more required than just getting naked on camera. You must have a strong personality online too.
One thing to remember is that the models who rise the fastest are the ones who treat their time online like a job. If you're new, it's always good to watch the top models, and see if there is anything that you can emulate in your own way. Try not to look at the model's looks or body, as that is not likely something you can mimic.
The best thing for you to look at is to look at how she interacts with members, watch how she entertains herself and the members online, watch her demeanor on camera and look at the small games she plays to get more tips and members taking her to private. These are things that you can integrate into your shows if they are authentic to you.
Authenticity is incredibly important in camming. The members have seen everything possible out there, so when you start, think about the persona that you can sustain. If you are a goofy, silly person, then your online persona should be that as well. Just put your personality on steroids and that's what your online persona should be. Imagine the person that you would be if there were no social norms of 'decency,' or you had no stresses in life. It will require that you act, of course, but as you become more comfortable in front of the camera, this will become second nature.
One trap that models fall into as they are more comfortable on camera is that they narrow the gap between their real life and their online persona, which makes it easier to remember at times, but also makes it more difficult to distance yourself from potentially dangerous members. The other traps I've seen models fall into are that they complain about issues with their studios, their cam sites, their friends or family, etc. Remember that you are the escape for most of these members from reality, and they don't want to come and listen to someone complain. If your real name is Jane and your online name is Amber, it's best to leave Jane's problems and stresses in the other room, and switch into Amber as soon as the light for your webcam turns on.
I have spoken about this in other columns, but I will say it again because it's incredibly important; use social media to build your following. It's going to get you to where you want to be at much faster than not using it. If you are afraid of people you know seeing you, use angles to take your face or unique markings to hide your identity. Use Snapchat and Instagram to just get your name out there to members.
Remember to follow their community guidelines so that your account doesn't get removed. But get your name out there. Chances are that your cam site has an Instagram account too, make sure to tag them as well. It will help you get followers faster too.
I'm going to close with a few models to look at for social media. Of our models, AloraJaymes, LisaDaniels and NikkiDelano use social media well. They combine normal life in with the sexy pics.

As a prelude to Obama's Newest Job Initiative Speech before Congress, Federal agents dressed in full SWAT Team regalia raided two Gibson guitar factories in Tennessee under the pretext that the 100 year old American Company has been "working" wood materials legally purchased from India that U.S. Officials have deemed to be allegedly breaking international laws. The law that Gibson allegedly broke was having their highly skilled American craftsmen handcraft Indian Ebony and Rosewood for their guitar fingerboards that wasn't "finished", or "value added" by workers in India, as the process was being completed in Gibson's manufacturing plants in Memphis, and Nashville Tennessee.
|Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues
has long been "In Search of the Lost Chord"
with his beloved Red Gibson Les Paul
Gibson's Legendary Les Paul guitars have long been the beloved instrument of choice for thousands of musicians worldwide, and Gibson has been a success story by adding dozens of new jobs to their American workforce that now totals well over 500 employees whose jobs may well be in jeapardy especially since the Fed's have informed the Owners of Gibson that they should leave the United States and even suggested that they would be better off if they moved their entire manufacturing system to Madagascar.
Gibson's Real Crime: Having a Republican CEO?
|Gibson's CEO Henry Juszkiewicz has been a Republican
Party supporter in recent elections.
Last Weeks Federal Raid was the second time that Gibson has suffered significant financial loss due to Imperial entanglements during the reign of Emperor Obama. No formal charges were filed following the previous raid, and no valid explanation of why they alone were raided was given to Gibson's management seeing that their major competitors also use Indian Rosewood, and Ebony in their guitars as well.
Gibson has long been an American success story, and their highly skilled employees truly enjoy working with the legendary guitar manufacturer. Gibson's CEO Henry Juszkiewicz has demonstrated that he wants to comply with all international as well as domestic laws concerning the acquisition of the woods that have long been proven to produce the best acoustic quality that their musical customers demand. Juszkiweicz has also stated that he would really appreciate it if the Federal Officials would simply clarify whatever their real concerns with Gibson's manufacturing process are, rather than having his employees being terrified by armed Federal Agents busting into Gibsons factories, and Corporate Office.
Seeing that Juszkiewicz maintains that the actual wood in question has legally been purchased with the approval of the Indian government, could it really be that Gibson is being targeted, and harrassed for the crime of their CEO being a well known Republican Party supporter?
You Got To Move It, Move It! Gibson's Henry Juszkiewicz confirms that the FEDS informed him in a Court Brief that Gibson would be better off moving their guitar manufacturing operations to Madagascar!!!
Surely nearly all of Gibson's entire workforce will be glued to the Teleprompter Reader next Thursday evening as President Obama UN-veils his newest job initiative to create "New Jobs" in America. As for Gibson's employees perhaps their "new job" will be to work at McDonald's, Wal-Mart or for the ever expanding Corrections Corporation of America (formerly known as Wackenhut) as the exploitation of Prison Labor has now become the most cost effective manner in which Multinational Corporations can legally sew the coveted:
label onto the products being made from the sweat of the American Prisoners, as Prison Labor is one of the few remaining growth industries in the Deindustrialized U.N.-Tied States of America!

Generally the Software Development process starts with the requirement gathering by business analysts or the people having same sort of designation. These business analysts gather requirements from specific customers site people (for application development) and also gather requirements from modal customers (in the market) for product development. After gathering the requirements business analysts release document which is known as URS/CRS (user/customer requirement specification) after that they move ahead for BRS (Business Request Specification) for the completeness and correctness.
When BRS is base lined (Tested), the systems analysts come into picture. They convert the BRS into SRS (System Request Specification) which consists of the final requirement to be developed and non-functional requirements to be achieved.
Basically Business Analysts finalize what to develop and the System Analysts finalize how to develop the software/application.
After completion of the SRS preparation. corresponding system analysts review the document for completeness and correctness. When SRS is baselined (already tested) , the designer category people concentrate on software designing at high and low level. High level design is known as system design/architectural design. High level design depicts the overall architecture of total software/complete software But low level design tell about the internal logic of the specific module. This is the reason why any project/product design consists of one HLD and many LLDs.
After Completion of the HLD and LLDs corresponding designers review the documents for completeness and correctness. When designing of the documents is done, Programmers come into picture and start coding.

Mediterranean diet helps preserve memory
Following the Mediterranean diet – one rich with omega-3 fatty acids – may go a long way in helping people avoid memory problems and maintain thinking skills, according to a study at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. The diet is built around eating plenty of fish, chicken and salad dressing, and has been linked to improved overall health, in addition to its mental health benefits. However, the study did discover that no such cognitive benefits were found among people with diabetes.
The researchers used data from the REGARDS (Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke) study, which included 30,239 participants over the age of 45. Of this population, 14,478 were asked how closely they followed the Mediterranean diet. The average age was 64 and 17 percent had diabetes. In addition to the dietary survey, participants underwent tests for memory and cognition, with follow-ups over a four year period.
Ultimately, the researchers found that patients without diabetes had a 19 percent lower risk of developing problems with memory and thinking skills if they closely adhered to the Mediterranean diet. No benefit was gained among those with diabetes.
Though the Mediterranean diet may be an effective step towards retaining cognitive abilities, it is only one part of overall health, the researchers warned. People still need to keep healthy lifestyle, including getting regular exercise, not smoking and avoiding obesity.

It's here. The big moment has arrived. It is Election Day.
And if you're anything like us, you're going to be watching the seemingly-unending coverage with a bottle of your favorite micro brew or favorite glass of vino. So to spice things up a bit, Screener has devised a drinking game to help you out.
The game is geared toward flipping around between the various broadcast and cable networks — ABC, CNN, C-SPAN, FOX, Fox News, MSNBC, NBC and PBS are all featuring election coverage, beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT for broadcast networks. The cable news channels are beginning their coverage mid-afternoon because of course they are.
RELATED: 'The West Wing' Election Day DOs & DON'Ts
If you're really feeling daring, C-SPAN's coverage is going to be a little outside the box. In primetime, they're airing various victory and concession speeches from around the country, as opposed to the other networks that will undoubtedly be heavy on the presidential election.
Check out ABC's handy guide for a detailed summary of each network's coverage plans and crack open a cold one — but as always, please drink responsibly.
Take a sip:
- When the candidate you don't like wins a state.
- Every time CNN whips out the Magic Map wall.
- When CNN's John King is referred to as the "map guy" or "wall magician."
- If a pundit uses a sports metaphor. Take an extra sip for "ground game," two extra sips if it's "horse race."
- If anyone in your house sees any of the out-of-retirement crew — Tom Brokaw (NBC), Charles Gibson (ABC) and Bob Schieffer (CBS) — and says, "Who's that?"
- Every time Wolf Blitzer says some variation of "we're watching this closely." But make sure they are tiny, tiny sips.
- If your liver is up to it, make C-SPAN your only channel and take a sip every time you see a victory or concession speech from someone you don't recognize.
Take a hearty swig:
- A network prematurely calls a race for one candidate and then has to change their results.
- A Times Square bystander says something insane to on-the-scene ABC reporter Michael Strahan.
- Each time you can tell Brian Williams resents covering the election for MSNBC instead of the mothership.
- If Fox News' Megyn Kelly has to interact on screen with Newt Gingrich.
Finish your drink:
- If one of the cable news channels — we're looking at you, CNN — uses a hologram.
- If Donald Trump loses and refuses to concede.
- If Hillary Clinton wins and does a dance so awkward it's worthy of Elaine Benes.
- If NBC's Tom Brokaw manages to work in his catch phrase, because God help us all if this thing isn't resolved in one night.

In 1605, three ships from England sailed to the New World. This was not the first time the English had come to North America. In about 1548, the town of Roanoke was founded, but twenty years later, the people at Roanoke disappeared. The people now knew from the mistakes made by Roanoke. They learned from them and decided not to settle on an island. Five hundred people came at first, but later thousands of people came over. All kinds of people came, mostly either rich or poor. The people became known as colonists. Their settlement became to be known as Jamestown, after King James. The colonists who created Jamestown came to stay in Virginia, which had been named after the recent queen, Elizabeth, who was known as the Virgin queen. Jamestown was going to survive.
The colonists at Jamestown survived by building sturdy defences against enemies. The settlers built a wooden fort with three watch towers. The fort was small and only made of wood, but Jamestown had many other defenses. First of all, the settlement was in a marshy area. There is good and bad about being near a marsh. The good news is that the Spanish would not attack as often, but the bad news is that it is more likely that diseases will spread through the camp.
Virginia was the best known place to settle by the English. They were also near the ocean so the people could get supplies from England to Jamestown. The people also created a great economy. The colonists traded gold, crops, and tobacco. Tobacco was very addictive, and England bought lots. Even King James thought that tobacco was a bad thing (which it is), People still smoked tobacco. Jamestown had one of the best spots to settle known at the time. Jamestown survived not only because of making a profit on tobacco, but also because of the government.
The government in Jamestown started off in chaos, but became prosperous. At first, there were randomly picked leaders, and one of these leaders was named John Smith. John Smith started off not being popular with the people, but later on he became a great leader and even ran all of Jamestown for five years. John Smith created a law called the "no work, no food" policy. This law made it so if people did not work, they would not get to eat. The law also made it so the colonists dug a well for fresh water. Without John Smith, Jamestown might not have survived. Later in Jamestown, the government worked differently. The new government had the people vote for its leaders, and later on, there was a group of leaders working together, not trying to gain all power. Jamestown was not all perfect, for there were a number of challenges that the colonists faced.
There were many challenges that the colonists had to deal with: the Starving Time and the Jamestown Massacre were the largest. Four hundred forty 0f the orignal 500 colonists died during the Starving Time. The Starving Time was caused for two reasons. The first is where they were. The colonists were near a swamp, which had black rats in it (the carriers of the black plague), and other diseases that came from the swamp and from the river. The river was the colonists only way of getting water, but there were tapeworms and other nasty things in the water, as the well was dug after the Starving Time. The second reason is because of the drought. The drought made it so the crops dried out and the colonists starved. The colonists could not eat crops, so they had to eat the black rats to survive. After the Starving Time, the colonists had a period of time where there was less trouble, and more people came from England to Jamestown.
About ten years after the Starving Time, though, the Indians banded together to destroy the English invaders. When the Indians attacked the settlers, they found that Jamestown now had more colonists in it. The Indians had brought 1500-2000 men. The Indians won, but later they would be destroyed. From the colonist point of view, the attack by the Indians was a massacre, and later on came to be known as the Jamestown Massacre.
Jamestown survived. Jamestown had excellent defences against enemies and its economy prospered. The government went from chaos to organization. The challenges were devastation, but Jamestown survived.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
in-her'-i-tans (nahalah, "something inherited," "occupancy," "heirloom," "estate," "portion"): The word is used in its widest application in the Old Testament Scriptures, referring not only to an estate received by a child from its parents, but also to the land received by the children of Israel as a gift from Yahweh. And in the figurative and poetical sense, the expression is applied to the kingdom of God as represented in the consecrated lives of His followers. In a similar sense, the Psalmist is represented as speaking of the Lord as the portion of his inheritance. In addition to the above word, the King James Version translations as inheritance, morashah, "a possession," "heritage" (De 33:4; Eze 33:24); yerushshah, "something occupied," "a patrimony," "possession" (Jud 21:17); cheleq, "smoothness," "allotment" (Ps 16:5); kleronomeo, "to inherit" (Mt 5:5, etc.); kleronomos, "heir" (Mt 21:38, etc.); kleronomia, "heirship," "patrimony, "possession"; or kleros, "an acquisition" "portion," "heritage," from kleroo, "to assign," "to allot," "to obtain an inheritance" (Mt 21:38; Lu 12:13; Ac 7:5; 20:32; 26:18; Ga 3:18; Eph 1:11,14,18; 5:5; Col 1:12; 3:24; Heb 1:4; 9:15; 11:8; 1Pe 1:4).
The Pentateuch distinguishes clearly between real and personal property, the fundamental idea regarding the former being the thought that the land is God's, given by Him to His children, the people of Israel, and hence, cannot be alienated (Le 25:23,28). In order that there might not be any respecter of persons in the division, the lot was to determine the specific piece to be owned by each family head (Nu 26:52-56; 33:54). In case, through necessity of circumstances, a homestead was sold, the title could pass only temporarily; for in the year of Jubilee every homestead must again return to the original owner or heir (Le 25:25-34). Real estate given to the priesthood must be appraised, and could be redeemed by the payment of the appraised valuation, thus preventing the transfer of real property even in this case (Le 27:14-25). Inheritance was controlled by the following regulations:
(1) The firstborn son inherited a double portion of all the father's possession (De 21:15-17);
(2) the daughters were entitled to an inheritance, provided there were no sons in the family (Nu 27:8);
(3) in case there were no direct heirs, the brothers or more distant kinsmen were recognized (27:9-11); in no case should an estate pass from one tribe to another.
The above points were made the subject of statutory law at the instance of the daughters of Zelophehad, the entire case being clearly set forth in Nu 27$; 36$.

Two people suffered smoke inhalation in a frightening fire at The Cosmopolitan hotel and casino that sent choking black smoke and orange flames soaring into the skies above the Las Vegas Strip.
The fire broke out Saturday just after noon local time on the 14th floor Bamboo Pool deck of the swanky Cosmo, where a three-night weekened stay starts at $1,800.
The 14th and 15th floors of its west end tower remained closed Sunday, the hotel said in a statement. The pool, deck, and a spa are shut until further notice.

The hotel and casino, which is just south of the famedBellagio,is otherwise fully operational, officials said Sunday morning.
Cabanas, deck chairs, and artificial palm trees were quickly consumed in Saturday's blaze as guests ran for their lives, witnesses and officials withthe Clark County Fire Department said Saturday.
"Trees and cabanas burned on pool deck. Very little extension to building. One patient transported at this time," the department tweeted.
"You turned around and the whole thing was on fire and so the first thing I thought was get out as fast as possible," guest Kaitlin Bencimol told local ABC.

More than 100 firefighters responded and the blaze was out in 45 minutes.
Two people were overcome by smoke; one was treated at the scene and the other hospitalized, officials said.

A Time to be Frume
There is a time for everything according to Kohelet. This certainly applies to when it is appropriate to act in a very "holy" way and when it is not.
A case in point is a Halacha brought in the Rambam related to laws connected with when one is allowed to enter the Beit Hamikdash. We are aware that one is not allowed to go when in a state of impurity.
The Rambam brings a case where one inadvertently became טמא when he was already in the Beit Hamikdash. This could happen if someone died and he was under the same roof with the corpse. The Halacha is that this newly defiled individual must get off of Temple grounds immediately without pause.
If he stops for a moment to bow to Hashem, he is punishable with Karet for praying in the Temple in a state of impurity. This is an example where being "frume" at that moment is inappropriate. Interesting Halacha.
