21. Segment Information We have four primary reportable operating segments, which consist of private passenger auto insurance, non-standard auto insurance, home and farm insurance, and crop insurance. A fifth segment captures all other insurance coverages we sell, including commercial coverages and our assumed reinsurance lines of business. We operate only in the United States, and no single customer or agent provides 10 percent or more of our revenues. The following tables provide available information of these segments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. For presentation in these tables, LAE refers to loss adjustment expenses. The ratios presented in these tables are non-GAAP financial measures under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. The non-GAAP ratios may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. The loss and LAE ratio equals losses and loss adjustment expenses divided by net premiums earned. The expense ratio equals amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and other underwriting and general expenses, divided by net premiums earned. The combined ratio equals losses and loss adjustment expenses, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, and other underwriting and general expenses, divided by net premiums earned.

the insured with the underwriting gain or loss as its primary measure. As a result, these fees are allocated to the non-standard auto segment (included in fee and other income) in the above tables. The remaining fee and other income amounts are not allocated to any segment. We do not assign or allocate all Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheet line items to our operating segments. Those line items include investment income, net capital gain on investments, other income excluding non-standard auto insurance fees, and income taxes within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the Consolidated Balance Sheet, those items include cash and investments, property and equipment, other assets, accrued expenses, federal income taxes recoverable or payable, and equity. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
A robust disturbance reduction scheme for linear small delay systems with disturbances of unknown frequencies.
Abstract:
A robust disturbance reduction scheme for linear small delay systems with disturbances of unknown frequencies is presented in this paper. Unlike other methods, the proposed scheme does not require disturbance frequencies to be known. The linear systems modeled in this study are nominally stable and minimum phase systems with relative degree. The control structure is an integration of Astrom's modified Smith predictor and the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme consists of an input disturbance reduction controller (IDRC) and a residual disturbance reduction controller (RDRC). The IDRC using an artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to reduce unknown load disturbances and modeling uncertainties in stable systems and unstable systems. The ANN can appropriately approximate the product of an inverse time delay and a nonnegative gain in the IDRC. The residual signals including residual disturbances and residual uncertainties are suppressed by the RDRC based on a disturbance observer. Simulation examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed robust disturbance reduction scheme for linear delay uncertain systems with periodic or non-periodic unknown load disturbances. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
The vast majority of people who’ve lost a limb can still feel it— not as a memory or vague shape, but in complete lifelike detail. They can flex their phantom fingers and sometimes even feel the chafe of a watchband or the throb of an ingrown toenail. And astonishingly enough, occasionally even people born without a limb can feel a phantom. So what causes phantom limb sensations? The accuracy of these apparitions suggests that we have a map of the body in our brains. And the fact that it’s possible for someone who’s never had a limb to feel one implies we are born with at least the beginnings of this map. But one thing sets the phantoms that appear after amputation apart from their flesh and blood predecessors: the vast majority of them are painful. To fully understand phantom limbs and phantom pain, we have to consider the entire pathway from limb to brain. Our limbs are full of sensory neurons responsible for everything from the textures we feel with our fingertips to our understanding of where our bodies are in space. Neural pathways carry this sensory input through the spinal cord and up to the brain. Since so much of this path lies outside the limb itself, most of it remains behind after an amputation. But the loss of a limb alters the way signals travel at every step of the pathway. At the site of an amputation, severed nerve endings can thicken and become more sensitive, transmitting distress signals even in response to mild pressure. Under normal circumstances, these signals would be curtailed in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. For reasons we don’t fully understand, after an amputation, there is a loss of this inhibitory control in the dorsal horn, and signals can intensify. Once they pass through the spinal cord, sensory signals reach the brain. There, the somatosensory cortex processes them. The entire body is mapped in this cortex. Sensitive body parts with many nerve endings, like the lips and hands, are represented by the largest areas. The cortical homunculus is a model of the human body with proportions based on the size of each body part’s representation in the cortex, The amount of cortex devoted to a specific body part can grow or shrink based on how much sensory input the brain receives from that body part. For example, representation of the left hand is larger in violinists than in non-violinists. The brain also increases cortical representation when a body part is injured in order to heighten sensations that alert us to danger. This increased representation can lead to phantom pain. The cortical map is also most likely responsible for the feeling of body parts that are no longer there, because they still have representation in the brain. Over time, this representation may shrink and the phantom limb may shrink with it. But phantom limb sensations don’t necessarily disappear on their own. Treatment for phantom pain usually requires a combination of physical therapy, medications for pain management, prosthetics, and time. A technique called mirror box therapy can be very helpful in developing the range of motion and reducing pain in the phantom limb. The patient places the phantom limb into a box behind a mirror and the intact limb in front of the mirror. This tricks the brain into seeing the phantom rather than just feeling it. Scientists are developing virtual reality treatments that make the experience of mirror box therapy even more lifelike. Prosthetics can also create a similar effect— many patients report pain primarily when they remove their prosthetics at night. And phantom limbs may in turn help patients conceptualize prosthetics as extensions of their bodies and manipulate them intuitively. There are still many questions about phantom limbs. We don’t know why some amputees escape the pain typically associated with these apparitions, or why some don’t have phantoms at all. And further research into phantom limbs isn’t just applicable to the people who experience them. A deeper understanding of these apparitions will give us insight into the work our brains do every day to build the world as we perceive it. They’re an important reminder that the realities we experience are, in fact, subjective. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

My name is MJ Serobanyane a client of ADT since 2008 i called these company concerning my battery which was malfunctioning they came and replaced it.According to the Tax Invoice B 57003 which I signed I was to pay the amount stated on the invoice in two installments but on the 31/10 22 they deducted the whole amount in full.The technician who came to replaced the battery can testify about this.Today I called their office in Bloemfontein concerning this and related the whole whole story but I was promised that someone will call me no feedback so far. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
Intimation of intent in elderly fatal self-harm: do the elderly who leave suicide notes differ from those who do not?
Abstract:
Suicide notes may provide valuable information about suicide victims' final thoughts, and thus may be considered as markers of the severity of the suicide attempt. However, very few studies have described the characteristics of elderly suicide note-writers and their final thoughts.
To explore whether there is a difference between those who do and do not leave a note among the elderly victims of Fatal Self Harm (FSH). Also to examine the content of suicide notes and their clinical significance.
We carried out a retrospective review of suicide notes obtained from coroners' records of FSH in all over 60 years of age in Cheshire over a period of 13 years (1989-2001). The term 'Fatal Self Harm' was applied to all those who were subjects of coroner's inquests and attracted verdicts of suicide, misadventure and open verdicts.
In 71 cases (33%) (43 males, 28 females) (61% M, 39% F) suicide notes were reported in the coroner's records. The variables that appeared to differ significantly between the note-leavers and non-note-leavers were: a suicide verdict, not known to psychiatric services, and method of FSH ( P < 0.05). Gender, marital status, history of DSH, social isolation, mental or physical morbidity did not appear to differ between the two groups. More of those who took an overdose, used plastic bags, electrocuted themselves or used car exhaust fumes left suicide notes. Those who died by hanging, jumping from a height, immolation or wounding appeared equally likely to leave or not to leave a suicide note. Significantly fewer cases who died by drowning left suicide notes ( P < 0.01). No statistically significant difference in the content of suicide notes was observed in relation to gender or age.
The failure to identify consistent parameters that could differentiate between note-leavers and non-note-leavers only leads to the conclusion that a minority of suicide victims leave suicide notes. Suicide note-writers may not be typical of the average suicide case and information elicited from the study of suicide notes may only apply to note-writers and not to suicide in general. However, the absence of a suicide note must not be considered an indicator of a less serious attempt. (Int J Psych Clin in Pract 2002; 6: 155-161). | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Title:
Pilot research for the correlation between the expression pattern of E-cadherin-β-catenin complex and lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer.
Abstract:
Early gastric cancer without lymph node metastasis can be treated with minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. Hence, a better modality for predicting lymph node metastasis should be beneficial to early gastric cancer patients who may only require minimally invasive treatment. In vitro, phosphorylation of β-catenin induces the loss of membranous β-catenin and E-cadherin, subsequently increasing the potential for metastasis. We investigated the behavior of these molecules comparing lymph node metastasis-positive and lymph node metastasis-negative groups, using the specimens from the patients with early gastric cancer. This was a pilot research evaluating the usefulness of combined analysis of these molecules in predicting lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer.
The clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical expression patterns of E-cadherin and β-catenin in the primary lesion were studied retrospectively in 28 patients (lymph node metastasis-positive versus lymph node metastasis-negative: 14 vs 14) selected from 272 patients. These patients underwent radical surgery for the early gastric cancer treatment from April 2000 to March 2004 at our hospital. All patients gave written informed consent to use their tissues for the clinical study. Statistical analyses were performed by the chi-square test and Mann-Whitney test.
More loss of membranous E-cadherin was observed in the lymph node metastasis-positive group than in the lymph node metastasis-negative group. Although the finding was slightly more marked in the intestinal than in the diffuse type early gastric cancer, there was no statistical significance. Loss of membranous β-catenin showed a similar trend and no statistical significance. When we evaluated the expression patterns of both molecules, dual loss of membranous E-cadherin and β-catenin significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis [dual loss in lymph node metastasis-positive versus lymph node metastasis-negative patients: 12 (86%) vs 6 (43%), P = 0.046]. Additionally, corresponding proportions in intestinal type early gastric cancer were 5 of 6 (83%) vs 0 of 6 (0%), P = 0.015.
Based on our results, the combined analysis of E-cadherin and β-catenin localizations may be helpful to accurately predict lymph node metastasis in intestinal type early gastric cancer. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I'm a co-founder of a startup and we already raised money a couple times - still seed stage. Recently we saw a sudden increase in scam artists approaching us. Of course this is a small sample but I wonder if other founders here are seeing the same pattern? Also I want to explain the scams so people are aware of them.1 - The bitcoin Russian millionaire:We were approached by two people telling us they represented an investor from Russia which was interested in our company and wanted to invest $1 million. We ended up meeting them in person and they told us who the investor was but we never got to talk to him directly. They said such investor made big money in bitcoin and was looking to invest in several companies. We did some online search and the information matched somehow. Next they wanted us to deposit 75k in a bitcoin wallet so they could use it as proof of collateral. By then we got wary of the whole situation, but because we met them physically and they seemed to know about our company, product and industry we thought it could be legit. They offered to setup a bitcoin wallet for us which of course we refused. We setup the wallet and send them a small transaction so they could identify us and see our balance for the 75k. Their next move was to say that our wallet was no good and it had to be setup in a specific app and then we knew it was a scam. I'm not 100% sure how they planned to steal our money. We think they might have hacked one of our phones before approaching us. They seemed to know what they were doing and looked like nice and educated people.2 - Old school scam:Through our network we were referred to an investor. He said typically he likes to lend money first to the company and later he comes in as an investor. We received the contract terms that looked pretty reasonable. Once we tried to move forward he started asking us to cover his "cost" first. Clearly a scam (not even a very elaborated one).Anyone here have similar stories? | 0 | 1 | 0 |

This study provides new evidence of the value relevance and the perception of decision usefulness of pension accounting information. The research contributes to the academic literature by using a mixed methodology approach (believed to be the first to do so in value relevance research) involving quantitative analysis of the relationship between the reported financial numbers and the market values of a sample of UK listed FTSE 100 companies over five accounting years from 2006 to 2010 and qualitative analysis in the form of semi-structured interviews with analysts and investors. The research focuses on pension accounting information which for the purposes of this study refers to the accounting for defined benefit (DB) pension schemes and other post-retirement benefits in accordance with the international accounting standard IAS 19. The research provides evidence that pension accounting information is value relevant and it is perceived to be decision useful. The research also provides evidence that pension accounting information is less value relevant than other accounting information and it is also perceived to be less decision useful than other accounting information. This is a pioneering study in terms of its use of a mixed methodology in value relevance while it is also one of the first pension accounting value relevance studies applied to UK listed companies and believed to be the first study of the perception of decision usefulness of pension accounting information. There is significant convergence in the quantitative and qualitative findings. The mixed methodology process of triangulation reveals very few cases of contradictions or differences between the outcomes of the quantitative and qualitative analysis. Caution needs to be exercised however, as results for pension components are not as robust as they are for core balance sheet or income statement items, specifically book value of capital per share and earnings per share. There is evidence that value relevance revealed by regression is significantly lower in times of equity market and economic turbulence. One of the most significant conclusions arising from the qualitative research and supported to a significant extent by the quantitative research is the importance to analysts and investors of specific pension cash flow information. It is believed that this PhD research is a basis for future research efforts that may help to identify areas that have possible future accounting policy implications | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Ph.D.--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities, 2012The Kenyan political landscape has, since the 1990’s, been tumultuous and characterised by multiple political and social struggles centred on embedding a new constitutional order. This thesis is a qualitative case study of the Ufungamano Initiative, a powerful movement involved in these struggles between 1999 and 2005. Emerging in an environment of deep societal divisions and multiple sites of struggle, the Ufungamano Initiative is a remarkable story of how and why previously disjointed and disparate individuals and groups came together in a ‘movement of movements’ to become a critical contender in Kenyan constitutional reforms. The movement utilised direct citizens’ actions and was directly in competition with the Moi/KANU state for control of the Constitution Reform Process. This direct competition and challenge, posed a legitimacy crisis on the state led process forcing an autocratic and intolerant regime to capitulate and open up space for democratic engagement of citizens in the Constitution Reform Process. But the Ufungamano Initiative is also a story of the limits of social movements. While holding so much power and promise, movements are limited in their ability to effect fundamental changes in society. Even after substantial gains in challenging the state, the Ufungamano Initiative was vulnerable and agreed to enter a ‘coerced’ merger with the state-led process in 2001. The merger dissipated the Ufungamano Initiative’s energy.\ud
This study therefore speaks to the power and limits of social movements in effecting fundamental changes in society. Applying a socio-historical approach, the study locates the Ufungamano Initiative within the broader social, economic and political struggles to argue that contemporary constitutional reform struggles in Kenya were, in Polanyi’s (1944) terms, double movement type of societal counter-movements to protect itself from an avaricious economic and political elites. Engaging the political process model, this thesis analyses seventy in-depth interviews and secondary data to explain the dynamics in the rise, operations, achievements and decline of the Ufungamano Initiative as illustrative of how movements emerge, take on a life of their own and sometimes metamorphose into phenomenal forces of change, or just fizzle out | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Their fall from the tower sends Ethic and Hedge spinning into the rapids of a river of pure energy. This torrent flows from the Bradbarrier all the way to Huxenborg. There an entire city’s worth of factories build the robots and house the Node of Memory, the last of the three powerful artifacts Ethic needs to collect. After a long day and a longer night they find themselves in a canyon of brick and steel. Just when they’re about to reach the end of the line, a rope catches them. Their savior, Lemma, has been waiting for them. When Ethic claimed the Node of Creation from the forest tower, radios all across the land came back to life. Adila, the resistance leader, immediately started contacting her allies, none more important than Lemma, a brilliant scientist working from within Huxenborg to bring down the machines. Unfortunately, the radios also tipped off the robots. So they’ve taken defensive measures to protect the final artifact in its home in the very heart of the city. There’s only one way to get there: the gauntlet of forking paths. It’s a deadly series of luminous conveyors that wind underneath Huxenborg. Starting from the current position, each section runs for a distance, then splits in two. Every branch does the same thing, again and again. There are thousands of branches. Only one path leads to the artifact; all the others to destruction. Fortunately, the Node of Creation has granted Hedge a strange power: he can produce slightly smaller versions of himself. Each version can do only two things: radio information back to its parent, and produce slightly smaller versions of itself… which can do the same two things, as can their children, for as many generations as needed. A patrol is closing in on their position, so Ethic’s time is limited. What instructions should she give Hedge to find the one safe path? Pause the video to figure it out yourself. Hint in 3 Hint in 2 Hint in 1 Programmers have an elegant tool in their arsenal called recursion. Recursion is when you have a set of instructions that refers back to itself. It’s like using a word in its own definition, except where that’s frowned upon, this is incredibly effective. Recursion involves repetition, but in a different way than loops. Where a loop takes one action and repeats it again and again, recursion will start an action, and before it’s finished, use it again, and before that’s finished, use it again, and so on. It keeps doing this until some end state is reached. It then passes the information back up, layer after layer, until it reaches the top and ends the cycle. Recursion is ideal for problems that involve self-similarity, where each part resembles the larger whole. Like, for example, a deadly defense system designed to end any person or thing who dares tread upon it. Pause the video to figure it out yourself. Solution in 3 Solution in 2 Solution in 1 Ethic’s conundrum seems sprawling on the surface, but there’s a remarkably simple solution to it using recursion. In order to find it, let’s first look at the simplest version of this puzzle: what if the entire maze were just two paths? If Hedge copies himself, the copy that goes the wrong way will be destroyed. So the other one, which will reach the artifact, can radio back the path it took, and then no matter which way is correct, that’s the answer Hedge will receive. This is called the "base case" of the recursion. Now, suppose the maze branches twice from the starting point, and at every intersection, Hedge’s copies— let’s call them Twig 1 and Twig 2— make more copies— let’s call them Leaves 1 through 4. Three Leaves will be destroyed. The one that reaches the artifact will radio back the right answer, but only to its parent. So if Twig 1 or 2 is waiting at an intersection and hears something over the radio, that’s the right way to go to the artifact from where it is. To tell Hedge the right answer from his perspective, the Twig should say which way it went, and then the route it just heard over the radio. This same process will work no matter how many times the maze branches. Any answer a copy hears on the radio must be the way to the control room from its location, and if it then adds the branch it took, it can tell its parent how to get there as well. We can sum up the instructions in an action called Pathfinder that every version of Hedge will follow: 1. If you’ve reached the artifact, radio to your parent whether you got there by going left or right. 2. When you reach an intersection, move off the conveyor and send new copies down the left and right paths. Have them each run Pathfinder. This is where recursion comes in, and this may happen many times before the last instruction triggers, which is: 3. If you hear anything over the radio, you should radio to your parent whether you got to your spot by going left or right, then repeat everything you just heard. Pathfinder is an example of what programmers call functions, subroutines, or procedures. No matter the terminology, the idea is the same— it’s a set of instructions given a label so that it can be easily reused— perhaps even by itself. And in our case that’ll work perfectly— an entire network of paths mapped using just three instructions. So here's what happens. By the time the patrol rounds the corner, Ethic and Lemma have improvised disguises. They try to confuse the bots long enough to buy Hedge time. Finally, Hedge’s radio crackles to life with a series of directions. The three dive onto the conveyor and flee for their lives, with a squadron of enforcer bots in hot pursuit. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Organization of the Company We are a specialist medical diagnostics company focused primarily on the research, development and manufacture of in vitro diagnostic test devices for consumer and professional point-of-care use. In addition, we own, manage and operate a hemostasis laboratory. Key aspects of our strategy for increasing shareholder value include: executing on our business activities, including undertaking research and development activities, manufacturing products and providing development and support services including providing laboratory services; extending and demonstrating the broader application of our technology and seeking to enter into collaborative, strategic or distribution arrangements with other life sciences companies or other industry participants with respect to specific tests or specific fields; participating in healthcare markets across the globe; and identifying and pursuing related opportunities for growth. Our plan of operations over the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 2019 is to: seek to enter into collaborative, strategic or distribution arrangements with other life sciences companies or other industry participants with respect to the development and commercialization of specific tests or specific fields; manufacture products; undertake research and development work; provide the necessary post-market support for our customers and partners; provide laboratory services for our customers and partners; demonstrate the broader application of our technology platform for markets with significant commercial potential; and identify, investigate and evaluate inorganic growth opportunities within the overall strategic initiatives. We have rights to an extensive patent portfolio, with certain patents owned by UBS and a number licensed to UBS by LifeScan and other third-party licensors. The Companys first global strategic partnership was established with LifeScan with respect to diabetes care. The Company developed a blood glucose product with LifeScan (OneTouch Verio ). During 2018, LifeScan gave notice and exercised its right to convert its obligation to pay quarterly service fees to UBS (the LifeScan Conversion). Accordingly, we have not received any further quarterly service fees beyond 2018 and we do not expect to receive any further revenues from LifeScan unless we enter into a new agreement with LifeScan in the future. In October 2018, Platinum Equity acquired LifeScan, Inc. from Johnson & Johnson. Unless otherwise noted, references to LifeScan in this document are references collectively or individually to LifeScan, Inc., and/or LifeScan Europe, a division of Cilag GmbH International. We have, worked with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. (Siemens) since 2012 in relation to a range of products for the point-of-care coagulation testing market, pursuant to a collaboration agreement with Siemens (the Collaboration Agreement). The first such product developed with Siemens, the Xprecia Stride Coagulation Analyzer, received CE mark approval on December 9, 2014 and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on October 4, 2016. The Xprecia Stride Coagulation Analyzer is now available in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Canada. Under the terms of a supply agreement with Siemens (the Supply Agreement), UBS is the manufacturer of test strips for this product for Siemens. The Collaboration Agreement was terminated on September 18, 2019. On September 9, 2019, we entered into certain binding term sheets with Siemens (the Siemens Term Sheets) and on September 18, 2019, we entered into a commercial and distribution agreement with Siemens (the Siemens Distribution Agreement) and a supply agreement with Siemens (the Siemens Supply Agreement and together with the Siemens Term Sheets and the Siemens Distribution Agreement the 2019 Siemens Agreements). Pursuant to the 2019 Siemens Agreements the Company agreed to acquire certain assets of Siemens (the Siemens Acquisition). Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Siemens Agreements, among other things: Siemens has committed to order a certain minimum amount of Xprecia Stride strips from UBI over the subsequent 42 months, subject to certain conditions; and The Company has the right to pursue partnership and distribution opportunities for point-of-care coagulation products outside of our arrangement with Siemens, which we believe will allow us to access new global markets and market segments, including the hospital point-of-care segment that was previously exclusive to Siemens under the Siemens Collaboration Agreement. The Company intends to undertake an open market (or on-market) buyback of up to 10% of its outstanding equity securities over the 12 months following October 14, 2019 (the Buyback). Any securities purchased pursuant to the Buyback would be purchased at the Companys sole discretion and funded from existing cash reserves. The Company would only buy back securities at such times and in such circumstances as the Company considers beneficial to the efficient capital management of the Company. The Buyback and the terms thereof are dependent upon market conditions, volumes and other relevant factors and there is no assurance that the Company will undertake the Buyback or purchase any of its outstanding equity securities pursuant to the Buyback. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
We were greeted with very friendly staff. We had the fried knocci for an appetizer with a fabulous marinara sauce - usually do not order knocci but these came recommended and were very good. The bread was crusty on the outside & chewy on the inside -very yummy. We sat at the bar as we usually do and the bartender brought over a sample of their meet sauce to try with more bread. I don't eat meat sauce but my husband said it was very good. I had a heft cosmo & my husband had a beer. For dinner i had the pasta trio that was fabulous - probably the best italian food i've had since the cioppino at Allesia's restaurant. My husband had the linguine with white clam sauce also very good. I'm certain these pasta dishes were homemade because they just had amazing flavor - I wanted more!! We finished with tiramisu that was also really great. My husband had coffee and even that was great. A little pricey in my opinion for italian food but due to how great all of it tasted - we think it was worth it. This will be a definite dining destination in the future. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies Lease commitments Headquarters office lease. On June 7, 2012, we entered into a sublease and master landlord consent agreement for our headquarters office facility located in Redwood City, California. This lease covers approximately 21,620 square feet and will expire on February 18, 2017. The lease provides for escalating payments over the term and rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis. Other facility leases. We lease our facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements, which expire at various dates through the end of 2014. Total facility rent expense pursuant to all operating lease agreements was $602,000, $681,000, and $621,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, minimum payments due under all non-cancelable lease agreements were as follows (in thousands): Years ending December 31, Operating Leases 2014 440 2015 435 2016 448 2017 62 Total minimum lease and principal payments $ 1,385 Legal contingencies On February 7, 2012, a lawsuit seeking class-action certification was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, No. 12-CV-00609, alleging that the design of one the Company s software products and the method of promotion to consumers constitute fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, and unjust enrichment. On the same day the same plaintiffs law firm filed another action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 12-CV-0963, involving similar allegations against a subsidiary of the Company and one of the Company s partners who distributes our software products, and that partner has requested indemnification under contract terms with the Company. The law firm representing the plaintiffs in both cases has filed unrelated class actions in the past against a number of major software providers with similar allegations about those providers products.

This is your typical Buffalo Exchange. I've been to others in San Francisco and San Diego, and they're all pretty much the same. Yes, they're super picky brand name whores about what they buy from you, but it means that there are some really great items for a much smaller price tag. I've gotten dresses that people always compliment and things that I've bought on impluse because I thought it was a great buy, and wore once.
The building this one is located in leaves a lot to be desired, but there are good buys inside. I walked away with a great pair of skinny jeans, a cute top, and a super comfy dress for under $50 =). | 1 | 0 | 0 |
I've been a dev for awhile and I have a friend who's around 30 and wants to be a software dev. I started talking to him about it a few years ago and I helped him learn Android dev and basics of CS. If his path early on would've been different he definitely would've been a software engineer, just didn't get that opportunity and hes been an electrician (non-union) most of his life. He's got a family so can't just quit to do a boot camp, but based on talking to him I think he's got the aptitude to learn on the job quickly. Unfortunately I don't know how to help him break in. Are there entry level, junior engineer , or tester roles for non-recent college grads? I think he'd take a job making less than what he's making to break in but everything I see is asking for several years of experience or a degree.He's looking for something remote or in Honolulu because that's where his family is.Has anyone done this or helped anyone go through this? Do I help him just get good at coding interviews or help him create some Android apps? | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Terrible Service - regularly!
Our business has been a Telkom subscriber for close to 30 years. Over the years we have had such poor service (relating to confirmation of adverts/entry and also distribution) from Trudon that for the cost involved we decided not to pay for any additional entries/advertising in the directory. My understanding however, is that we are all entitled to a free light entry for every Telkom line. When I was phoned to confirm our entry I emphasised I did not want to pay for any entry. The result? I cant help feeling it is malicious - despite having 5 Telkom lines, we do not have any entry in the directory! This means that for a whole year our business is not listed. I have faxed and e mailed without any response. On top of this, distribution is appalling and despite the fact that the directory is useful this is negated by the fact that very few people have it. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

I so wanted to love this suit. it was gorgeous - the color, the quality, the style, but i am returning and can not recommend it. the sides need to be connected just a little bit higher and i think it would work, but there is no way you could move around in this without things popping out in front. i mean it would be gorgeous to just lay there in the sun, but i didn't feel like i could even walk safely, and i am not well-endowed. very bummed but it's going back. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Scary theory about aliens (pt 2)
Maybe aliens were lgbtq and after a planetary catastrophe they could NEVER recover their population because 1- Science and technology got wrecked(to clone or artificially reproduce). 2- They were homos(and hated hetero relationships) or trans(wrecked their sexual organs and cells).
Or maybe their health (and reproduction) was so dependant(government vaccines) on technology that AI just shut everything down and let them get extinct.
Bottom line: A species that CANT reproduce by themselves, are already doomed to extinction. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
This thesis examines the structure-performance relationship in the three largest European\ud
banking markets (U.K, France and W. Germany) and also investigates the related areas of\ud
economies of scale and X-efficiency.\ud
In Chapter 2, we describe the structure of the financial systems in the U.K, France and W.\ud
Germany identifying the different types of banks operating in each country and presenting the\ud
balance sheet structure of banks (by type of institution). In Chapter 3, we discuss the pre-1993\ud
regulatory regimes prevailing in the three countries under investigation and we set out all measures\ud
and banking regulations proposed (E.0 Directives and Recommendations) to achieve the Single\ud
European Market in financial services. Chapter 4 contains a literature review of the s-c-p model and\ud
its applications to different banking markets.\ud
Chapter 5 investigates the nature of the relationship between market structure and bank\ud
profits and net interest margins. We adopt the theoretical framework introduced by Hannan (1991)\ud
and we suggest that total bank profits and net interest margins are a positive function of the level of\ud
concentration in every market the banks operate in. Overall, our results indicate that, at least in\ud
certain cases, various market shares do positively affect bank performance measures (bank\ud
profitability and net interest margins), suggesting that size in particular market segments may be\ud
important in generating higher bank profits.\ud
In Chapter 6, we empirically investigate the issue of economies of scale by estimating a\ud
standard translog cost functional form. Our empirical findings suggest that economies of scale are\ud
present across a broad range of outputs in all three banking markets under investigation, indicating\ud
that there are cost advantages associated with greater bank size.\ud
Chapter 7 tests the efficient structure hypothesis which suggests that bank efficiency rather\ud
than concentration is the factor that positively influences both market shares and bank profits. This\ud
hypothesis is tested by incorporating two measures of efficiency (X-efficiency and scale efficiency)\ud
directly into our s-c-p model. We estimate X-efficiency and scale efficiency using the stochastic\ud
cost frontier approach. Our results suggest that the two efficient structure variables do not help in\ud
the explanation of the variability of bank profits and, therefore, we find no evidence to support the\ud
efficient structure hypothesis.\ud
Finally, Chapter 8 presents our conclusion, suggests some policy implications and identifies\ud
the limitations of our study | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Formula E: The electric F1, explained
6:45 also, I think that an artificial limiter on the power output which is disabled under certain arbitary conditions , would undermine the credibility of the series , especially in terms of the constructor side of things
Instead of Mario Kart, I think a different Nintendo racing game would provide a more physically consistent model for gamifying the track - F-Zero with its power recharging zones... implementing an on-track power delivery solution would entail fabricating some sort of active element which the cars can drive over, and which functions on the principle of resonant inductive power transmission, the same used on Maglev trains...
these active elements would most likely take the form of road surface pads which are secured to the track barriers, so that they don't slide around when the cars brake or corner on them, and which also suits their placement away from the racing line | 1 | 0 | 0 |
2 4 . Commitments and Contingent Liabilities We are at times, and in the ordinary course of business, subject to legal actions.Management believes that losses, if any, resulting from current legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. ? Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of our customers. Loan commitments have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to normal credit policies. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, may require payment of a fee, and contain cancellation clauses in the event of an adverse change in the customers credit quality. ? We do not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure other than the standby letters of credit issued by the Bank. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party to support contractual obligations and to ensure job performance . Generally, the Banks letters of credit are issued with expiration dates within one year. Historically, most letters of credit expire unfunded, and therefore, cash requirements are substantially less than the total commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. TheBank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required by the letters of credit. Management does not believe that the amount of the liability associated with guarantees under standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is material. The following table is a summary of commitments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014: ? ? ? ? ? (In thousands) | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Is there a way to store data in a file that is "schema agnostic"? In other way, a format that is not tied to "relationships" or "graphs" or whatever other schema. I'm thinking of a storage format that is just concerned with storing data and that can be easily loaded to a RDBMS or a graph databases as needed (or other database schemas that might exist). | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Worst company to get a cartrack contract from!!!
Please be informed that this company is the worst to take out a car tracking contract from. For weeks my vehicles tracker was not working. I emailed numerous times just to be told I need to do a maintenance check every single month. They had to come and physically "reset" the device. That was the first issue. Secondly I bought a new car and wanted the old tracker moved to the new car. So I'm told it's R870 to "move" the device. I made arrangements to pay it off in two instalments as I didn't have the money at that time. The first debit went off on the 30th of September of R445. There a debit order went off on the 1st of October of R164 with my normal instalment (which was R149 as per my contract!!!) These amounts were not what I agreed on.
Yesterday, the 14th of October, my account was debited with the amount of R149. This was an unauthorized debit order.
I contacted the client service center accounts department and had no answer. I then called again and chose the option for "new customer" and call was answered immediately.
I was told that since my account is in arrears they can debit my account whenever they want. I asked the woman what about the arrangements and she just said they can debit when they want. She couldn't give me any further information since it is weekend and debit orders don't show over weekends.
My tracking app was also suspended because I am in arrears. Although I was told that if I make an arrangement for 2 months it will not be suspended.

I have to give major kudos to our server here. We rolled up at 9p per the Yelp listing happy hour times. Come to find out that 9 is the weekday happy hour and Fri/Sat's happy hour doesn't start until 10. We we're okay with this but our server spoke to the manager without us even complaining or asking him to and honored the 9p happy hour because of the Yelp listing.
Now to the food and drink.
If you love cheese, their cheese menu was very large. We got several of the cheeses, the Tres Freres was my favorite (non-happy hour item though). The pork empanadas are a must and the happy hour drinks were very good as well. The strawberry sunset martini was very yummy.
I'd say the happy hour items are where it's at overall. The food was great the drinks were good. Really given their menu and atmosphere I was really surprised that it wasn't more busy. It's kind of sad to see many of the Phoenix area restaurants kind of dead at 9pm on a Friday night. I'm guessing if it were located in Scottsdale that would be a different story. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Recently I tried to search for an in-person event in my city using Facebook Events, and quickly realized that there was no way to actually achieve that.I further discovered Facebook Events UI and UX don't give Users the options to perform a wide variety of searches that would be considered simple / standard in any other events-based application.For example:* Online Events: FB Events does not let you filter out Online Events, so your search results will be polluted with unwanted results if you're seeking an in-person event, making the results essentially meaningless and unusable.* Browse Events: There is no way to browse upcoming events in your geographical area. Instead, you must specify a search term and run the search. i.e. There is no way to simply see what's going on in town and randomly pick a local event to go to.* Time-Based Search Criteria: Users are unable to for an event that occurs at a specific time. E.g. "Show me events that start at 6pm and end by 10pm."* Nearby Cities: Results will often display events in nearby cities, despite the User specifying that they only want to see "nearby events". This makes the search results essentially unusable, since much of what is displayed is not appropriate to you....and yet, FB events are often the only game in town.Honestly, I am quite suspicious of Facebook's reasons for making these UI and UX decisions, since no self-respecting UI/UX designer would come up with this interface or this experience. Maybe Facebook believes that if you're attending in-person events, then you aren't using Facebook?I would truly love to see FB improve the UI and UX of the Events API so that Users could find more appropriate results for their searches. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Description of Business and Organization As used in these consolidated financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, we, us, "our," the "company, and "ESRT" mean Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, operates, acquires and repositions office and retail properties in Manhattan and the greater New York metropolitan area. We were organized as a Maryland corporation on July 29, 2011. As of December 31, 2019 , our total portfolio contained 10.1 million rentable square feet of office and retail space. We owned 14 office properties (including three long-term ground leasehold interest) encompassing approximately 9.4 million rentable square feet of office space. Nine of these properties are located in the midtown Manhattan market and encompass in the aggregate approximately 7.6 million rentable square feet of office space, including the Empire State Building. Our Manhattan office properties also contain an aggregate of 511,984 rentable square feet of premier retail space on their ground floor and/or lower levels. Our remaining five office properties are located in Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York, encompassing in the aggregate approximately 1.8 million rentable square feet. The majority of square footage for these five properties is located in densely populated metropolitan communities with immediate access to mass transportation. Additionally, we have entitled land at the Stamford Transportation Center in Stamford, Connecticut, adjacent to one of our office properties, that will support the development of an approximately 415,000 rentable square foot office building and garage, which we refer to herein as Metro Tower. As of December 31, 2019 , our portfolio also included four standalone retail properties located in Manhattan and two standalone retail properties located in the city center of Westport, Connecticut, encompassing 205,595 rentable square feet in the aggregate. Empire State Realty OP, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. As of December 31, 2019 , we owned approximately 60.7% of the aggregate operating partnership units in our Operating Partnership. We, as the sole general partner in our Operating Partnership, have responsibility and discretion in the management and control of our Operating Partnership, and the limited partners in our Operating Partnership, in such capacity, have no authority to transact business for, or participate in the management activities of our Operating Partnership. Accordingly, our Operating Partnership has been consolidated by us. We elected to be taxed as a REIT and operate in a manner that we believe allows us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We have two entities that elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, and are owned by our Operating Partnership. The TRSs, through several wholly owned limited liability companies, conduct third-party services businesses, which include the Empire State Building Observatory, cleaning services, cafeteria, restaurant and health clubs, and asset and property management services. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Why are there giant concrete tunnels in the desert?
I really have so many questions about this. Like can there be a 3 axis interferometer? Also couldn't there be several of these all over earth in order to more accurately approximate the locations and times of the events. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Mmmmmmm butterrrrr.
I'm speaking specifically of the Edamame with truffle butter. We probably could have eaten a few orders of these.
Sugar cane pork. Ohhh yes. Falls of those teeny little bones right into my mouth. Very finger foody. Delicious.
Spicy "Sirring" Shrimp. Comes out sizzling and spicy and delicious. As the server mentioned, "Sirring" isn't a real word, but who cares!
These three were the stars of the five tapas that we chose. I cant really remember the other two, so they clearly weren't that great.
The atmosphere is cute, artsy and pretty comfortable. The music was a little low, so we could hear the conversations of the couples on either side of us pretty easily. Kinda awwwwkwaaaard.
I would for sure return. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

California's Water Problem
They should elaborate more on the colorado river. If California and Nevada keep using the amount of water they are using the Colorado will dry up in 100 years. They should do an audit and allocate the amount of water-based on the population. People will not like how much water they will get but it will help the climate. Plus farming in the desert is not a good idea. They need to tax farms significantly if they want to have a stable supply and discourage farming in the desert. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

### New phishing scam is smarter than ever… here’s how to protect your business
Microsoft is warning business owners about a new type of phishing scam (where cyber criminals pose as a trusted source to trick you into giving away login info), which uses popular cloud services like SharePoint and OneDrive.
Although these platforms are usually safe, scammers have figured out how to trick privacy settings to get past security checks.
The scammers hack your cloud storage by stealing your login details or buying them on the black market.
Once they get inside, they upload a file that is designed to look authentic – like a fake Microsoft 365 login page. They set the file to “view-only” or limit access to specific people, such as you and your team.
Opening these files or following any links inside the emails could cause serious damage to your business. Scammers can use your information to access your systems, or they can install malware (malicious software) that lets them cause disruption and steal information.
Recovering from these kinds of attacks can be expensive and time-consuming – not to mention the damage it could do to your business’s reputation.
Make sure your employees are aware of this new threat and know to be cautious when opening emails, even if they appear to come from a trusted service.
Before opening any shared files, double-check the sender’s identity. If something feels off, contact the sender directly to verify it.
Make sure you use multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all your team’s devices. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second piece of information (like a code sent to your phone) along with your password.
Also, keep your security software up to date so that it’s always ready to block the latest types of attack.
Would you like our help protecting your business with added security, training, and monitoring? Get in touch.

Bad Service
To the Public,
I just want to take a moment to provide feedback on Affinity Health regarding a recent life threatening emergency I had on 6th September 2021.
I regrettably had to be rushed to hospital on this day as I was struggling to breath and due to me not owning my own means of private transportation and that public transportation was not viable at the time. I made use of ER24 Service and their Ambulance transported me to hospital.
Because I am with Affinity Health I was under the impression that they would cover this cost, but apparently they were not clear on the brochure that it only applied to life threatening situations. Now according to them my situation was not life threatening, but I was struggling to breath and was unable to even move too much due to my illness.
However once I was admitted and after tests was done I was diagnosed with Priority RED 1 COVID PNEUMONIA and ended up on double barrel oxygen and had to be hospitalised for a week, but Affinity Health Regards this as a non life threatening situation. I really don't know what I'm paying for then?
I know have to pay the ER24 Ambulance Bill on my own, which costs R2800,00. Affinity could have at least met me half way and offered to cover half of the cost. Also they confirm that my illness is not covered.
So people if you have a choice then seriously reconsider joining them, unfortunately for me I do not have a choice as this Health plan is a must with my company, as its some group scheme for my company, but if i had a choice then I would join a different medical aid health plan.
I'm really disappointed with Affinity Health's decision not to cover this incident. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
I'm surprised by the negative reviews and i'm here to come to its defense! i love this dress! i'm solidly a 0 petite in tracy reese and this fit perfectly. the top isn't snug but it's not roomy enough to say it runs large. just perfectly comfortable. the belt was a little tricky because it has to thread through several loops, but it stays put nicely and fit perfectly without being too snug or uncomfortable. the fitted top with the belt offsets the fit and flare style of the skirt. lace is beauti | 0 | 0 | 1 |

# Personal Injury Lawyers in Marietta
## Boutique Law Firm at Your Service
First and foremost, we are educators. We want to ensure that our clients
are informed and empowered with all of the details of their case. Our
attorneys make sure to explain to each client how their case is going,
what they are currently working on, and providing a reasonable timetable
as to when a settlement can be expected.
Many of our Marietta Lawyers used to work as defense attorneys for an insurance
industry, this gives our team a keen understanding of how insurance companies
think, operate, and look to take advantage of those who don't understand
all of the legal complexities associated with Accident Injury Law.
is known throughout the Southeastern United States to provide the highest
level of customer service to its clients.
**If you were injured due to the negligence of another please** **** **immediately.**
### How Do We Protect Your Legal Rights?
**To guard your legal rights, your Roth attorney will:**
* Interview all witnesses to your accident
* Investigate the scene and cause of your accident
* Coordinate your case
* Complete all necessary paperwork
* Negotiate with the insurance companies
* Negotiate the best settlement for you
**Get your free consultation with The Roth Firm, LLC today by calling us at** **(404) 777-4899****.**
### What to do Immediately Following an Accident
* **Do not leave the scene of the accident**. If you are able to, gather as much information as you can as it can later
be used as evidence. Try to get pictures of the accident, all of the other
drivers' information including vehicle information.
* **Seek necessary medical treatment**. Some injuries can take time for you to feel pain. It is
to determine the extent of your injuries and document them.
* **Do not sign anything**! Initially, you will most likely be offered a settlement from the other
driver's insurance company. This settlement will be biased in their favor
and if you agree to it, you may have sacrificed a settlement that is fair to you.
* **Do not speak with anyone until you have spoken to an attorney**. Speaking about your case or injuries before you speak with an attorney
can damage your case and the settlement you may be eligible to receive.
* **Hire a personal injury attorney who is experienced** in all matters that pertain to personal injury cases and remember these
.
## Frequently Asked Questions
**What Do Personal Injury Attorneys Do?**
A personal injury attorney has the responsibility of defending the legal
rights of the victims of accidents who have suffered financial and physical
damage. Our experienced Marietta Accident Injury Attorneys understand
how to litigate your case to get the financial recovery you deserve for
your emotional, physical, and financial losses.
**In short, our lawyer's job is to explain to the defense attorney and the
insurance company of:**
* The injuries you sustained
* The details of the accident
* Proving that the defendant was at fault
* The amount of financial recovery you deserve
**How Much Does it Cost to Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer?**
does not charge any upfront costs to our clients. We believe that our
clients should not have to pay unless they win their personal injury case.
Therefore, we work on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee basis
means that we do not get paid unless we win your case, and our fee is
taken out of your settlement offer in the form of a percentage.
**How Long Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Take?**
One of the first things we tell our clients is that most personal injury
cases will require a significant amount of time in order to reach a settlement.
**The three main reasons why a** **** **are:**
* Factual discrepancies in the case
* The amount of money that is at stake
* The victim has yet to fully recover from their injuries that were caused
by the accident
An individual only has one opportunity to pursue an injury claim and seek
fair compensation, so hiring a law firm with a proven track record is
the first decision you need to make.
**How Much Money Will I Receive from my Case?**
Determining the value of your case requires an in-depth look at the extent
of your losses by a well-trained Marietta personal injury attorney.
Every case is unique, and there are many different types of compensation
that can be awarded in a personal injury lawsuit.
**The main types of compensation you can be awarded are:**
* Medical Expenses
* Lost Wages
* Pain and Suffering
* Property Damage
* Out-of-Pocket Expenses
**When you are ready to get started, call us at** **(404) 777-4899** **to get started with a member of our team.**

The BIGGEST problem with clean energy
Hey you should look into iron powder as a green energy carrier. Iron can enable green circular energy by using green hydrogen as a reducing agent after combustion. Iron has some advantages over hydrogen (for example safety and long-term storage), team SOLID (voluntary students at the TU/e) and some other companies are looking into that. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

# Long-Term Travel in Europe: How to Stay Past 90 days
For many travelers, traveling to Europe is a dream. Full of diversity, incredible food, easily accessible transport between countries, and unique landscapes, it’s easy to see why Europe is the most visited continent.
But if you are not a European citizen your time is limited for visiting most countries, but, don’t fear, there are many ways you can stay past your vacation period! Here, we’re going to explore the options for traveling long-term in Europe as a U.S. citizen
!
## How To Travel in Europe Long-Term
U.S. citizens are granted an automatic short stay tourist visa of 90 days, meaning you do not have to apply for a visa to enter most European countries or the Schengen zone if your stay is shorter than this time. This is a maximum limit of 90 days within a 180 day period.
The Schengen Zone (or Schengen Area) is a group of 26 European countries that has removed border obstacles, allowing people to pass freely between these countries without being subjected to passport/ID checks. That means you could cross into Spain from Germany via France by car just like you can pass from state to state in the US with no restrictions.
U.S. citizens are allowed to remain in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days, visa free. *But what happens if you want to stay past the 90 day mark in this area?*
One way around it, without obtaining a visa and if you have the funds, is to visit a country that is not within the Schengen area when your 90/180 day mark comes up. This can include the UK, Ireland, Croatia, Romania, or Morocco, for example. This route can be tricky though since you cannot simply pop over to Morocco for a week and then go back to a Schengen country. You would actually need to be outside the Schengen Zone for a total of 90 days before you can return.
It is a rolling process that includes your complete travel itinerary from the past 180 days. This would take a lot of planning, preparation, and some extra funds as you would have to spend 3 months in the Schengen zone, 3 months out, and then return.
As the “hop in hop out” method isn’t the easiest or cheapest there are other ways to travel around Europe long-term without that headache. Long-term Schengen visas are available for Americans who wish to stay longer than 90 days in Europe.
## Visa Options for Long-Term Travel in Europe
Traveling around Europe long-term, for over 90 days, will require a visa. The three categories you can obtain a visa from are, work, resident, and student visas. You must meet certain requirements for each visa so be sure to check all options and see which one could fit your situation best!
Below is an example of Spain’s list of long-term Schengen visas for stays over 90 days. Other European countries have similar, if not exact, visa options with variations of requirements.
**Work visas you can apply for are:**
* Work permit exemption
* Work and residence permit
* Self-employment
* Religious activity
* Digital nomad visa *(not yet available in Spain but discussions are underway for a possible 2022 launch)*
**Residence visas you can apply for:**
* Non-lucrative / retirement
* Residency for family regrouping
**Student visas you can apply for:**
* Student
* Au pair
* North American Cultural and Language Assistant
* Research
* Unpaid internship
Work and residence visas are more difficult to obtain as an American since the requirements are stricter and take salary, savings, and other requirements heavily into account.
Out of these three categories, a student visa is the easiest to obtain based on the requirements. Each type of student visa has slightly different requirements but the two that are very similar are the North American Cultural and Language Assistant (a teaching English abroad program) and the regular student visa. These often get confused as the same, but they are different. The assistant program visa is a program that you apply for through the government (usually the Ministry of Education). These programs are offered in multiple countries including, , , and , among others.
They vary from country to country so be sure to thoroughly research these programs based on your intended country of destination.
The student visa allows you to apply to an academy to take intensive or extensive language classes for about 20 hours a week (part time). You also have the option of enrolling in a European university to receive an undergraduate or postgraduate degree under the student visa.
The non-lucrative visa has become very popular in the past years for expats and retirees as the requirements can be met with the right amount of savings per year. If you have the funds and can prove you are economically self-sufficient, consider this option!
Europe’s digital nomad visas are becoming more and more popular as company’s are transitioning to remote working. Countries like Estonia and Georgia have paved the way for many other countries to follow-suit in offering a digital nomad visa for those seeking the freedom of traveling while working.
These visas usually last for 1-2 years and depending on the country can be renewed. You will need to have proof of regular income plus other qualifications, but the requirement for the amount of funds will differ by country.
An important requirement for almost all long-term Schengen visas is private medical insurance. You will need to acquire private medical insurance from a company that operates in the country you choose for the same length of time that your visa will be valid. For example, regular student visas usually revolve around the academic year, meaning you need to have coverage from around September to June, if not more. Don’t panic, private health insurance in Europe is much more affordable in comparison to the U.S. and covers all the basics you would need.
Depending on the visa, you can be granted permission to reside in the EU/Schengen area anywhere from 6 months to 5 years, consecutively. Also, depending on the country you choose, you will have to make an appointment at the country’s consulate in your jurisdiction. For example, if you live in Oklahoma and are seeking a visa to come to Spain, you need to go through the Spanish Consulate in Houston.
For detailed information on the above mentioned *(work, residence, student, and more!)* grab your copy of . With over 50 visa options in the 17 easiest European countries to stay or live long-term, there is a visa option for you to enjoy Europe after your 90 days are up!
## Planning Your Long-Term Travel Trip to Europe
Whether you decide to stay 100 or 300 days in Europe, you should establish a plan (a backup plan also never hurts!). Research the desired country where you would be happy learning the language and having a base in and see which visa requirements fit you the best.
Once you’re ready to apply for your visa it is highly recommended that you make an appointment as soon as possible at the consulate in your jurisdiction as they can get booked out months or (in some cases) years in advance.
Deciding which country to have a base in can be the hardest part for some people. Maybe you love Italian culture but want to learn Spanish but want to see the Eiffel tower everyday on your morning walk? Figure out which aspects of being abroad for more than 3 months are most important to you. Is it improving your language skills? Eating your favorite foods everyday? Having a large expat support system? Answering these questions can help you narrow down your options.
Don’t want to have a semi-permanent base and crave hopping around from country to country? This is also possible! Normally, residency and work visas are location-oriented, but with the boom of self-employment and remote working, location independence is very possible, especially with a digital nomad visa.
Student visas can also be more flexible. You can be an au pair for 6 months in one country and 6 months in another or as a student enrolled in a language academy, you can take online classes, giving you location independence.
Be sure to check the visa requirements, many require proof of a rental/housing contract for the duration of your stay.
And if you want to avoid visas all together, plan your “hop in hop out” strategy so you can spend 90 days within the Schengen Zone and 90 days in non-Schengen countries to prolong your stay.
Packing for a long-term trip abroad can be daunting, but with some planning and organization, you’ll be able to travel with just the right amount! Need help? Check out our that dives into all the details!
Traveling within European countries is easy and very affordable. Public transportation within many large cities is simple and cheap. Flights from Rome to London can be as low as €40 round trip and train travel, depending on the country, is very affordable, plus it’s one of the best ways to travel around!
To travel long-term in Europe is a dream and it is a privilege to be able to stay. It is such a unique and memorable experience and visiting for a short period only makes you wish you could stay longer. Many people that come to Europe for extended periods end up not wanting to return home! Whichever route you choose for your long-term European journey, it’s almost a sure thing you will enjoy your extended stay in this beautiful continent.

Title:
Optimization and model reduction in the high dimensional parameter space of a budding yeast cell cycle model.
Abstract:
Parameter estimation from experimental data is critical for mathematical modeling of protein regulatory networks. For realistic networks with dozens of species and reactions, parameter estimation is an especially challenging task. In this study, we present an approach for parameter estimation that is effective in fitting a model of the budding yeast cell cycle (comprising 26 nonlinear ordinary differential equations containing 126 rate constants) to the experimentally observed phenotypes (viable or inviable) of 119 genetic strains carrying mutations of cell cycle genes.
Starting from an initial guess of the parameter values, which correctly captures the phenotypes of only 72 genetic strains, our parameter estimation algorithm quickly improves the success rate of the model to 105-111 of the 119 strains. This success rate is comparable to the best values achieved by a skilled modeler manually choosing parameters over many weeks. The algorithm combines two search and optimization strategies. First, we use Latin hypercube sampling to explore a region surrounding the initial guess. From these samples, we choose ∼20 different sets of parameter values that correctly capture wild type viability. These sets form the starting generation of differential evolution that selects new parameter values that perform better in terms of their success rate in capturing phenotypes. In addition to producing highly successful combinations of parameter values, we analyze the results to determine the parameters that are most critical for matching experimental outcomes and the most competitive strains whose correct outcome with a given parameter vector forces numerous other strains to have incorrect outcomes. These "most critical parameters" and "most competitive strains" provide biological insights into the model. Conversely, the "least critical parameters" and "least competitive strains" suggest ways to reduce the computational complexity of the optimization.
Our approach proves to be a useful tool to help systems biologists fit complex dynamical models to large experimental datasets. In the process of fitting the model to the data, the tool identifies suggestive correlations among aspects of the model and the data. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies We have contingent liabilities resulting from various litigation, claims and commitments. We record accruals for loss contingencies when losses are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees associated with defending the Partnership in legal matters are expensed as incurred. We accrued $7.3 million for contingent losses as of December 31, 2017 , and had no accrual for contingent losses as of December 31, 2016 . The amount that will ultimately be paid related to such matters may differ from the recorded accruals, and the timing of such payments is uncertain.

Trudon and Telkom collaborate to defraud Telkom customers
<p>Once again Telkom has allowed Trudon to access and incur charges on Telkom's customer's accounts. This is done without the customer's express and written permission, and begs a whole list of security questions.</p>
<p>The latest charge is disguised as a Contract charge, for white pages listing (in my case described as (WP 2016 PIETERMARITZBURG WP(PMB) ********** 398118 PERIOD 01 OF 01 PAYMENTS R504.00 VAT EXCL)</p>
<p>I have reported this matter again and again and was EVENTUALLY told in July that it was in fact a Trudon related charge. When I pointed out that this is fraudulent, I was assured that the charges would be reversed. To date, this has still not been done...the dispute is now sitting in the "back office", who still needs to accept the dispute and pass the credit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I again queried how it is possible that a third party can access my account and incur charges on it, it was explained to me that Trudon's computers had in error charged many Telkom customers erroneosly and had not reversed these incorrect charges automatically....what an excuse for a scam that is making someone very rich, very quickly. Imagine if, like many people, I did not read every line of my detailed bill??????</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is not the first time Trudon's computers, with Telkom's permission, have resulted in charges unauthorised by myself, being incurred on my account. If I did the same thing with, for example, a Woolworths card ....I would be sent straight to jail for fraud, but it seems if the fraud is just big (or maybe small) enough, one gets away with it, scott free.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember, every TELKOM customer is entitled to a free listing. One would only contract with TRUDON if you wanted an enhanced listing, and that would be billable.</p> | 0 | 1 | 0 |
With increasing awareness of the environmental damage that is occurring as
a result of human activities, there are also increasing pressures on
manufacturing companies to reduce environmental impacts. Many
environmental impact reduction methods contain some element of waste
reduction, which is also the focus of Lean manufacturing, although their
definitions of waste differ somewhat. The aim of this research was to
investigate the synergies and similarities between Lean manufacturing and
environmental impact reduction in manufacturing, with a strong focus on
practical implications.
The research was carried out in three stages: a review of the relevant
literature, an exploration stage which consisted of semi-structured interviews
with ten companies, and action research studies with two companies,
investigating company reactions to the introduction of environmental impact
reduction measures into their Lean implementation, via adapted tools
designed using data from the literature review and exploration stage.
Findings from all the research stages were analysed and synthesised,
producing a total of 54 findings (including answers to research questions,
notes for practitioners, and suggestions for future work) across 12 themes.
The research confirmed that some environmental improvement occurs as a
side effect of Lean implementations; compared Lean and environmental
wastes; looked at potential benefits of mapping for environmental
improvement within Lean implementations; found that Lean can be used as a
framework for other changes, including environmental improvement;
identified opportunities for adoption or adaptation of particular Lean tools for
environmental impact reduction; identified new ways in which Lean acts as a
foundation for change; showed common uses for goals and measures; found
that workforce involvement was an important factor, as was education and
training; identified some factors for acceptance and adoption; discussed the
effectiveness of integrated implementation; and discussed the benefits of
holistic integration of Lean and environmental improvement | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Last year at TED we aimed to try to clarify the overwhelming complexity and richness that we experience at the conference in a project called Big Viz. And the Big Viz is a collection of 650 sketches that were made by two visual artists. David Sibbet from The Grove, and Kevin Richards, from Autodesk, made 650 sketches that strive to capture the essence of each presenter's ideas. And the consensus was: it really worked. These sketches brought to life the key ideas, the portraits, the magic moments that we all experienced last year. This year we were thinking, "Why does it work?" What is it about animation, graphics, illustrations, that create meaning? And this is an important question to ask and answer because the more we understand how the brain creates meaning, the better we can communicate, and, I also think, the better we can think and collaborate together. So this year we're going to visualize how the brain visualizes. Cognitive psychologists now tell us that the brain doesn't actually see the world as it is, but instead, creates a series of mental models through a collection of "Ah-ha moments," or moments of discovery, through various processes. The processing, of course, begins with the eyes. Light enters, hits the back of the retina, and is circulated, most of which is streamed to the very back of the brain, at the primary visual cortex. And primary visual cortex sees just simple geometry, just the simplest of shapes. But it also acts like a kind of relay station that re-radiates and redirects information to many other parts of the brain. As many as 30 other parts that selectively make more sense, create more meaning through the kind of "Ah-ha" experiences. We're only going to talk about three of them. So the first one is called the ventral stream. It's on this side of the brain. And this is the part of the brain that will recognize what something is. It's the "what" detector. Look at a hand. Look at a remote control. Chair. Book. So that's the part of the brain that is activated when you give a word to something. A second part of the brain is called the dorsal stream. And what it does is locates the object in physical body space. So if you look around the stage here you'll create a kind of mental map of the stage. And if you closed your eyes you'd be able to mentally navigate it. You'd be activating the dorsal stream if you did that. The third part that I'd like to talk about is the limbic system. And this is deep inside of the brain. It's very old, evolutionarily. And it's the part that feels. It's the kind of gut center, where you see an image and you go, "Oh! I have a strong or emotional reaction to whatever I'm seeing." So the combination of these processing centers help us make meaning in very different ways. So what can we learn about this? How can we apply this insight? Well, again, the schematic view is that the eye visually interrogates what we look at. The brain processes this in parallel, the figments of information asking a whole bunch of questions to create a unified mental model. So, for example, when you look at this image a good graphic invites the eye to dart around, to selectively create a visual logic. So the act of engaging, and looking at the image creates the meaning. It's the selective logic. Now we've augmented this and spatialized this information. Many of you may remember the magic wall that we built in conjunction with Perceptive Pixel where we quite literally create an infinite wall. And so we can compare and contrast the big ideas. So the act of engaging and creating interactive imagery enriches meaning. It activates a different part of the brain. And then the limbic system is activated when we see motion, when we see color, and there are primary shapes and pattern detectors that we've heard about before. So the point of this is what? We make meaning by seeing, by an act of visual interrogation. The lessons for us are three-fold. First, use images to clarify what we're trying to communicate. Secondly make those images interactive so that we engage much more fully. And the third is to augment memory by creating a visual persistence. These are techniques that can be used to be -- that can be applied in a wide range of problem solving. So the low-tech version looks like this. And, by the way, this is the way in which we develop and formulate strategy within Autodesk, in some of our organizations and some of our divisions. What we literally do is have the teams draw out the entire strategic plan on one giant wall. And it's very powerful because everyone gets to see everything else. There's always a room, always a place to be able to make sense of all of the components in the strategic plan. This is a time-lapse view of it. You can ask the question, "Who's the boss?" You'll be able to figure that out. (Laughter) So the act of collectively and collaboratively building the image transforms the collaboration. No Powerpoint is used in two days. But instead the entire team creates a shared mental model that they can all agree on and move forward on. And this can be enhanced and augmented with some emerging digital technology. And this is our great unveiling for today. And this is an emerging set of technologies that use large-screen displays with intelligent calculation in the background to make the invisible visible. Here what we can do is look at sustainability, quite literally. So a team can actually look at all the key components that heat the structure and make choices and then see the end result that is visualized on this screen. So making images meaningful has three components. The first again, is making ideas clear by visualizing them. Secondly, making them interactive. And then thirdly, making them persistent. And I believe that these three principles can be applied to solving some of the very tough problems that we face in the world today. Thanks so much. (Applause) | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases Our administrative offices and research facilities are located in San Diego, California. We lease an aggregate of approximately 80,000 square feet of office and research space in five buildings. The leases commenced in June 2011, November 2013 and June 2018 and continue through January 2023 . The leases are subject to approximately 3.0% annual increases throughout the terms of the leases. We also pay a pro rata share of operating costs, insurance costs, utilities and real property taxes. We received incentives under the leases, including tenant improvement allowances and reduced or free rent, for which the unamortized deferred rent balances associated with these incentives was $1.7 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We lease approximately 10,000 square feet of office space for a satellite office located in South San Francisco, California. The lease commenced in November 2015 and continues through January 2021 . The lease is subject to approximately 3.0% annual increases throughout the term of the lease. We also pay a pro rata share of operating costs, insurance costs, utilities and real property taxes. We received incentives under the lease, including tenant improvement allowances and reduced or free rent, for which the unamortized deferred rent balances associated with these incentives was $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additionally, we lease certain office equipment under operating leases. Total rent expense was approximately $2.5 million , $2.3 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Approximate annual future minimum operating lease payments as of December 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Year: Operating Leases 2019 $ 2,953 2020 2,995 2021 2,557 2022 2,506 2023 112 Total minimum lease payments $ 11,123 Other Commitments We have existing supply agreements with contract manufacturing organizations Avid Bioservices, Inc. (Avid) and Catalent Indiana LLC (formerly Cook Pharmica LLC) (Catalent) to produce supplies of bulk rHuPH20. Under the terms of the agreements, we are committed to certain minimum annual purchases of bulk rHuPH20. At December 31, 2018 , we had a $14.6 million minimum purchase obligation in connection with these agreements. In June 2011, we entered into a services agreement with Patheon for the technology transfer and manufacture of Hylenex recombinant. At December 31, 2018 , we had a $0.3 million minimum purchase obligation in connection with this agreement. Contingencies We have entered into an in-licensing agreement with a research organization, which is cancelable at our option with 90 days written notice. Under the terms of this agreement, we have received a license to the know-how and technology claimed, in certain patents or patent applications. We are required to pay fees, milestones and/or royalties on future sales of products employing the technology or falling under claims of a patent, and some of the agreements require minimum royalty payments. We continually reassess the value of the license agreement. If the in-licensed and research candidate is successfully developed, we may be required to pay milestone payments of approximately $8.0 million over the life of this agreement in addition to royalties on sales of the affected products. Due to the uncertainties of the development process, the timing and probability of the remaining milestone and royalty payments cannot be accurately estimated. Legal Contingencies From time to time, we may be involved in disputes, including litigation, relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of our business. Any of these claims could subject us to costly legal expenses and, while we generally believe that we have adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage or our policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business. We currently are not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in managements opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

The pathway is a common online educational route for nurses who wish to enter the adult-gerontology nurse practitioner (AGNP) specialty. An aspiring adult-gerontology nurse practitioner who wishes to pursue an MSN degree typically already has experience working in the nursing field. In addition, most already hold a bachelor’s degree. However, there are programs that address the needs of nurses who have earned an associate degree or that hold a general bachelor’s degree. In any case, those who wish to pursue the AGNP specialty via an online MSN program need to have a current, unencumbered RN license, a GPA of 3.0 or above, and some clinical experience in the adult-gerontology field.

## Why Get an MSN Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Degree?
Obtaining an adult-gerontology nurse practitioner MSN degree provides you with a broad swath of knowledge and skills. These arm you with the education you need to treat, diagnose, and work with adults over their lifespan.

## How to Choose an Online MSN AGNP Program
When you are considering which online adult-gerontology nurse practitioner MSN program to enroll in, you’ll probably focus on the credit hours needed, as well as the cost and the length of time the program will take you to complete. In general, 45 credit hours are the average number required for this type of degree. Many schools offer both full and part-time enrollment options, which will impact the length of time a student will need to complete the program. If you wish to further specialize in Acute or Primary Care, you’ll need to look for a school that has an AGNP program with that emphasis.
You’ll also want to ensure that the program is accredited. Many employers require this of anyone they hire. In addition, make note of any requirements for on-site visits – while many programs are offered in a fully online format, some schools offer hybrid programs that require some on-campus learning.

Disappointed and frustrated that my contract has not been cancelled— as promised
I was offered a portable MTN WiFi router deal back in October, and accepted. The router was delivered and I found that the router was not portable as I was promised. I called and emailed, requesting that my contract be cancelled and that I return the router. I successfully returned the router. However, the contract was not cancelled (meaning that I am now paying for something that I am not using). I called and sent more emails, and was promised that the cancellation request would be escalated. Now money has been taken from my account, messing with my credit score. I am sincerely disappointed with Mondo and Rewardsco and their service. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
When the New Zealand Government restructured the system of the public funding of
research (1990-1992) it created Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) as companies
operating in a global, market-led economy. One CRI, AgResearch, responded to this
environment by corporatisation and instituted a normative system of control of
workers which, through strategic plans, vision and mission statements, and
performance appraisal processes, encouraged workers to adhere to company goals.
This thesis, reporting on an ethnographic study of this CRI, shows how most
scientific workers (technical workers and scientists alike) experienced insecurity
through estrangement because the contributions they wished to make were less
valued both in society and in their work organisation. They were excluded from
participation in both organisational and Government policy-making, and felt they did
not ‘belong’ anymore. Scientists in particular were also experiencing alienation (in
the Marxist sense), as they were losing autonomy over the production of their work
and its end use. Scientific workers developed tactics of compliance in order to resist
these experiences and ostensibly comply with organisational goals while maintaining
and protecting their self-identities, and making their work meaningful. Meanwhile, to
outward appearances, the work of the CRI continued.
This thesis adds to the sociology of work literature by extending the understanding of
the concepts of compliance and resistance in white-collar work, particularly under
normative control, by developing two models of resistance. It adds to the stories of
the impact on public sector workers of the restructuring of this sector in New
Zealand’s recent history, and develops implications for science policy and practice | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Title:
Effects of georeferencing effort on mapping monkeypox case distributions and transmission risk.
Abstract:
Maps of disease occurrences and GIS-based models of disease transmission risk are increasingly common, and both rely on georeferenced diseases data. Automated methods for georeferencing disease data have been widely studied for developed countries with rich sources of geographic referenced data. However, the transferability of these methods to countries without comparable geographic reference data, particularly when working with historical disease data, has not been as widely studied. Historically, precise geographic information about where individual cases occur has been collected and stored verbally, identifying specific locations using place names. Georeferencing historic data is challenging however, because it is difficult to find appropriate geographic reference data to match the place names to. Here, we assess the degree of care and research invested in converting textual descriptions of disease occurrence locations to numerical grid coordinates (latitude and longitude). Specifically, we develop three datasets from the same, original monkeypox disease occurrence data, with varying levels of care and effort: the first based on an automated web-service, the second improving on the first by reference to additional maps and digital gazetteers, and the third improving still more based on extensive consultation of legacy surveillance records that provided considerable additional information about each case. To illustrate the implications of these seemingly subtle improvements in data quality, we develop ecological niche models and predictive maps of monkeypox transmission risk based on each of the three occurrence data sets.
We found macrogeographic variations in ecological niche models depending on the type of georeferencing method used. Less-careful georeferencing identified much smaller areas as having potential for monkeypox transmission in the Sahel region, as well as around the rim of the Congo Basin. These results have implications for mapping efforts, as each higher level of georeferencing precision required considerably greater time investment.
The importance of careful georeferencing cannot be overlooked, despite it being a time- and labor-intensive process. Investment in archival storage of primary disease-occurrence data is merited, and improved digital gazetteers are needed to support public health mapping activities, particularly in developing countries, where maps and geographic information may be sparse. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
