The efficacy of iloprost, a stable prostacyclin analog, was investigated in a placebo-controlled trial in 109 diabetics with ischemic lesions. 56 patients were randomly allocated to iloprost and 53 patients to placebo. Iloprost was intravenously applied for 6 hours daily on 28 consecutive days at an individually tolerated dose up to 2 ng/kg/min. The control group received identical solvent volumes. In addition all patients had an intensive basic, mainly local, therapy. At the end of the treatment in the iloprost group 31 of 50 patients (62%) showed partial (greater than 30%) or total healing of the lesion(s). In the placebo group this was the case in 12 of 51 patients (22.5%). The difference of 38.5% was statistically significant (p less than 0.05, chi 2-test, alpha = 0.05, beta = 0.1). The percentage of patients who were free of pain increased from 23% to 42% (+19%) in the iloprost group and from 38% to 48% (+10%) in the placebo group. After dose-titration iloprost was well tolerated. Flush, headache and abdominal complaints were the most frequent side effects. Heart rate and blood pressure were not influenced and the control of diabetes was not altered.<|endoftext|>Q:

Seeking explanation regarding onclick listeners in nested jsx components

Good morning,
I am writing a React application and ran into an interesting situation that I was hoping somebody with knowledge of how Javascript, React (and maybe HTML as well) work could explain for me.
Consider the following two pieces of code as a part of the return statement in a React functional component:
consider:

    {props.theProp.map((foo) => {

            <Foo /* props */ onClick={() => bar.fooHarder()} />

        })}

against:

    {props.theProp.map((foo) => {

 bar.fooHarder()} >
            <Foo /* props */ />

        })}

Please explain to me why the click listener in the first piece of code did nothing whilst the second worked as expected.
What is it about JavaScript (React? HTML?) that causes this?  Why does it not also apply to CSS pseudo classes (in this case I have the cursor for  set to pointer which works just fine)?

A:

In the first piece of code, since li is an HTML element, the event listener is automatically bound to the li element.
In the second piece of code, Foo is a React Component, meaning that the onClick is passed as a prop to the Foo component and not yet bound.
If you want the event to be bound to the Foo component, you have to use its onClick prop.
Something like:
import React from'react';

function Foo ({ onClick }) {
  return <button onClick={onClick}>Click me!</button>;
}

export default Foo;

Addiction to opiates depend on drug-induced neuroplastic changes and are underlain by alterations of gene expression. Transcription factors Ca2+/cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) and activator protein 1 (AP-1) may constitute a direct link between the opioid-regulated signal transduction pathways and modulation of gene expression. Acute treatment of Neuro2a MOR neuroblastoma cells with opioids stimulated CREB activity; prolonged treatment normalized it, while withdrawal from the drug again elicited an increase in phosphorylated CREB levels. Protein kinase C was responsible for the activation of transcription following acute opioid administration whereas the cAMP pathway activated similar mechanisms during withdrawal, making CREB a kind of 'a trigger' reacting to the presence or withdrawal of the opioid signal. Apart from the elevated CREB phosphorylation, CRE binding activity and expression of luciferase reporter gene regulated by CRE elements were increased after single administration and during withdrawal from the prolonged opioid treatment. Along with CREB, AP-1 binding activity and AP-1-directed transcription were stimulated after single administration and during withdrawal from the opioid. These results provide evidence that both single opioid administration and opioid withdrawal activate CREB and CRE-dependent transcriptional mechanisms via distinct intracellular signaling pathways.<|endoftext|>version: "3"

CO~2~ levels during times of insolation extremes (3.0--2.9 Ma and 2.7--2.6 Ma) are similar. However, the simulation forced with the mean pCO~2~ estimates of Martinez-Boti et al.^[@CR33]^ shows an early attempt of GrIS expansion (\~2.98--2.94 Ma) before a progressive onset from 2.8 Ma onwards, with a significant increase in GrIS volume around 2.72 Ma and 2.6 Ma (Fig. [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}) because of the combination of low insolation and low pCO~2~ levels. After 2.6 Ma, the GrIS rapidly melts down to small ice caps in the southern and southeastern margins (Figs [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}c and [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}) because of a simultaneous increase in summer insolation and pCO~2~. The ice sheet expansion then resumes at \~2.55 Ma (A complete GrIS evolution with the mean pCO~2~ estimates of Martinez-Boti et al.^[@CR33]^ is shown in the Supplementary Movie [1](#MOESM4){ref-type="media"}). Interestingly, the pCO~2~ records of Martinez-Boti et al.^[@CR33]^ generate a sharp GrIS volume decrease after 2.6 Ma, regardless of the uncertainties and earlier shape of the expansion of the ice sheet because of an increase in pCO~2~ values during the insolation maximum. This seems contradictory to the presence of large and perennial ice sheets from 2.7 Ma onwards but comparison with IRD records^[@CR7],[@CR9]^ does not invalidate a scenario with a widescale deglaciation after 2.6 Ma.Fig. 2Simulated GrIS volume evolution based on different pCO~2~ records. **a** Seki et al.^[@CR34]^; **b** Bartoli et al.^[@CR32]^; **c** Martinez et al.^[@CR33]^.

When forced by the monotonously decreasing and obliquity modulated pCO~2~ scenario defined by Willeit et al.^[@CR28]^, our simulated GrIS shows a similar evolution to that of Willeit et al.^[@CR28]^ (Fig. [4](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}), in particular in the large increases in GrIS volume reproduced at 2.7 Ma and 2.55 Ma, as well as the large decrease at 2.6 Ma, although our GrIS volume displays less variability because of a lower sensitivity to the orbital forcing in our fully coupled climate-ice sheet model. Inverse modelling studies^[@CR27],[@CR35]^ have also provided potential pCO~2~ reconstructions for this interval (Supplementary Fig. [3](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). However, the low pCO~2~ concentrations throughout most of these reconstructions lead to a large perennial GrIS even during the well-established MPWP warming period^[@CR19]^, in contrast to evidence for a much reduced GrIS^[@CR38],[@CR39]^.Fig. 4Simulated GrIS volume evolution with the pre-defined best scenario of pCO~2~ from Willeit et al.^[@CR28]^.

Discussion {#Sec6}
==========

In this work, we restrict high-resolution ice sheet modelling to scenarios of the GrIS evolution across the PPT although much evidence for ice growth outside Greenland has been reported during this period^[@CR8],[@CR40],[@CR41]^. This decision is warranted because Greenland is one of the primary location for ice nucleation in the North Hemisphere^[@CR15]^ and because there is currently no agreement on the possible extent and configuration of possible ice sheets outside Greenland. However, this restriction hampers comparisons with δ^18^O and sea level records because the maximum ice volume that can be accommodated over Greenland represents roughly 7 m of equivalent sea level, i.e. in the range of experimental and/or instrumental errors. Significant insights can however be gained from adjacent IRD records^[@CR9]^ in order to further constrain the possible evolution of the GrIS and of pCO~2~ across the PPT. It should be kept in mind that attempting to constrain the GrIS geometry and volume from IRD records remains speculative because the absence of IRDs does not necessarily correlate with the absence of GrIS and because IRD peaks may contain material derived from other sources than the melting Greenland icebergs. In addition, iceberg trajectories may change and the ambient temperature along the iceberg trajectory may influence the melt-out rates of the IRD contained in the icebergs. For instance, variations in North Atlantic SST and/or currents or changes in the sediment contents of the calved icebergs could explain the absence of IRD even if the GrIS maintains a significant iceberg discharge^[@CR41],[@CR42]^. In addition, IRD peaks may represent an ice growth phase, during which increasing GrIS volume could lead to increased iceberg discharge, as well as an ice melt phase, during which the warmer climatic conditions could lead to enhanced ice sheet melting and, consequently, enhanced ice flux at the margin. Despite these uncertainties, IRD records offer a first-order insight into ice sheet dynamics and their relationship to orbital variations, which may aid in defining the most probable scenario for GrIS evolution. We used ODP Site 907^[@CR7]^, IODP Site U1307^[@CR43]^ and ODP Site 611^[@CR41]^ (Fig. [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}. More details about these data can be found in Supplementary Note [1](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}) because the IRD records from these sites can be confidently assumed to originate primarily from the GrIS^[@CR41]^. Sites U1307 and 907 are located offshore from Greenland margins and show small but continuous IRD deposition from as early as 3 Ma (Fig. [5b](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}), with the exception of a single peak at 2.92 Ma at Site 907. Around 2.7 Ma, several IRD peaks in both records suggest intensification of the iceberg discharge, broadly correlated to North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SST) cooling events (Fig. [5c](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}). Accordingly, the record from Site 611, located further south from Greenland, shows an absence of IRD deposition before 2.72 Ma and several peaks afterwards.Fig. 5The comparison between the simulated GrIS and adjacent IRD records. **a** Map showing simplified main ocean currents in NATL and the ocean deep drilling sites referenced in this study (Ocean Data View, Schlitzer, R., Ocean Data View, odv.awi.de, 2018). **b** Related IRD records in the North Atlantic regions: site 907^[@CR7]^; site U1307^[@CR43]^; site 611^[@CR41]^ and simulated GrIS volume with the mean and high pCO~2~ estimates of Martinez-Boti et al.^[@CR33]^ and the high pCO~2~ estimate of Seki et al.^[@CR34]^; **c** Reconstructed sea surface temperature at ODP site 982 by Lawrence et al.^[@CR2]^ and IODP site U1313 by Naafs et al.^[@CR63]^

 as involving "loving embraces" and "public display of shared pleasure"). Unfortunately, their habit of simply assuming people would naturally think as they do instead of actually explaining their intentions led every single captive to believe that the Spectacle was actually an arena battle to the death. It never ended well.

Promotion Not Punishment: The final Fighters' Guild quest has you working with a disgraced former guild-member and single-handedly bringing down the Blackwood Company by assaulting their headquarters. After you report your success to the Guildmaster, she tells you that for your reckless actions, you are to be stripped of your position as her second in command... because she will be stepping down and offering you her title

Randomly Generated Levels: Like Daggerfall, Bethesda built the non-quest non-Oblivion dungeons out of existing dungeons pieces and randomly spliced them into a "new" dungeon that gets used for every copies instance of that dungeon. Unlike Daggerfall, you aren't busy getting lost, and the dungeon pieces are are much more distinct looking, making it very noticeable (Indeed, there were a few instance of "leftovers" from quests in some dungeons in early versions). Additionally all spawns and loot are randomly chosen from leveled lists.

The terrain is also computer generated through simulated soil erosion. It sounds neat, but it is very noticeably featureless as a result.

Rage Against the Heavens: This is what Umaril is supposedly intending to do in Knights of the Nine, although how exactly isn't clear.

Ratstomp: Subverted. The first Fighter's Guild mission is entitled "A Rat Problem", but when you talk to the owner of the house you discover that the rats are her pets and that the "problem" is that they keep getting attacked by mountain lions.

Retcon: In previous games and source material, Cyrodiil was described as a much more exotic and unique place than how it was potrayed in Oblivion, with a much more fancier and regal looking Imperial City with waterways much like Venice, singing priest clothed by moths, an esoteric, Chinese/Japanese-inspired culture in Nibenay regions and was overall a Fantasy Counterpart Culture for Roman Empire combined with East Asia. In Oblivion, this was mostly abandonded in favour of traditional Medieval European Fantasy with only dubiously Roman-like elements and the rest was vaguely handwaved as being outdated propaganda. This didn't sit well with some fans.

Retirony: Grommok in the Shivering Isles quest Baiting the Trap. Direct quote from his journal - "We're going to head north and explore the area around Niben Bay today. I hope that something else like this turns up on our adventures. Then I'm going to retire!". Depending on the players actions, he either dies or goes insane.

Enforced in the Dark Brotherhood quest Permanent Retirement, which requires the player to kill a newly retired Imperial Legion commander who spent his life investigating and interfering with the Dark Brotherhood's 'operations'.

Revenue Enhancing Devices: The Horse Armor DLC. Long since made into a meme or a Running Gag, even by Bethesda itself — on April 1, 2009 the price of all Oblivion DLC was halved, except for the Horse Armor DLC, which had its price doubled.

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Pulled on Myvryna Arano by Hieronymus Lex in the early Thieves Guild questline; Lex had been using Myvryna to spy on the Guild, but it turns out the Grey Fox had cottoned on to her, so he creates a fake contract to have the player character steal a bust of the late Countess of Cheydinhal Lathasa Indarys from the Chapel Undercroft there. When Lex uses this as an excuse to order a crackdown on the Waterfront, the PC is directed by Methredhel to drop the bust in a cabinet in Myvryna's home and get Lex to check it out. When confronted by this evidence, Lex arrests her on the spot; if she did steal the bust, then she's been playing him, but if she's telling the truth (that the PC standing two feet away watching this is a member of the Thieves Guild and is setting her up), she's still of no use to him, because it means the Grey Fox knows about her. So either way, off to jail she goes.

Rouge Angles of Satin: Anvil's resident Butt Monkey, Norbert Lelles, is the proprietor of a shop whose sign is misspelled to read "Lelles' Quality Mercandise", which draws many amused comments from various NPCs.

Scenery Porn: Lots and lots of it. Especially in Shivering Isles, whose titular region looks a lot like the more "unusual" areas of Morrowind, but some players even complained about seeing grass and forests everywhere. And it's too bad you can only visit Paradiseonce...

Secret Test: In the end of the Dark Brotherhood quest the Night Mother reveals she knew Mathieu Bellamont was the traitor before he even knew. Instead of telling the Listener to watch out for him she decided to see if her followers were smart enough to figure it out themselves. Turns out they weren't.

The Siege: Mehrunes Dagon's final assault on the Imperial City in the endgame.

Sequel Hook: "When the next Elder Scroll is written, you will be its scribe."

Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: You can use magic to summon monsters that would normally try to kill you on sight when encountered, who will fight other monsters for you, even of their own kind. There's also the Frenzy spell.

Shipper on Deck: Casta Scribonia from Chorrol ships the proprieter of the Gray Mare and the captain of the guard.

Shoplift and Die: Oh yes. Though not as badly done as in Morrowind; normal NPCs don't immediately go apeshit, swarm attack you and try kill you on sight if caught stealing. They do, however, start screaming like morons and any nearby guards will come running. And then if you refuse to pay gold or go to jail, they'll kill you.

Each NPC in the game has an assigned "responsibility" value, which determines how strictly they follow the law and also how they will report violations of the law. While Imperial Waterfront inhabitants might steal food and cheer on a fight rather than report it to guards, shopkeepers will call for the guards if you so much as touch something without paying for it.

One of the first Fighter's Guild missions you can get is a shout out, and Lampshade Hanging to the first Fighter's Guild mission you can get in Balmora, in Morrowind. In Morrowind, you're contracted to kill the rats in a woman's basement. In Oblivion, you're contracted to defend them.

When a gang of thieves take over "The Bloated Float" inn-boat while you're aboard, you have to fight and/or talk your way past all of them. One of the dialogue options is to claim that you're the ship's cook.

In one quest, you have to try and catch a man who's supplying items to merchants by stealing said items from the dead. As part of your proof, you find a book that lists the recently deceased and any items of value they own. One of the names in the list is Oford Gabings - an anagram of Frodo Baggins - and the items listed are ones that he carried in Lord of the Rings: "Travel Cloak with Silver and Green Leaf Fastener", "Enchanted Shortsword with Inlaid Writing", "Leather Bound Travel Journal", and "Gold Ring with Inscription (Cursed?)"

During one of the Dark Brotherhood quests, the player must venture to a lighthouse with a basement. There player finds a decapitated head in a state of decay sitting on a plate called "Mother's Head", which is a reference to Friday the 13th Part 2.

There is quest called 'Whom Gods Annoy,' whose name refers to a similarly named episode of a certain show.

Side Quest: As per Elder Scrolls tradition, there's a hell of a lot of them. In fact, they make up the bulk of the gaming experience.

Single-Use Shield: The Boots of Springheel Jak will prevent you from dying at the end one very, very long fall but are destroyed upon landing. Various exploits exist to survive said fall and still keep the Boots.

Skybox: Utilized exceptionally well. And the number of mods out there to enhance Oblivion's skies even further is mind blowing.

The Dark Brotherhood quest where you are ordered to kill Adamus Phillida with a special arrow. Though even if you're standing really far away and are well hidden from view, somehow the guards will always detect you...

Disected and explained by fans - the script for the arrow (which immediately kills Philida) doesn't activate until a split second after the arrow hits. Unless you're completely invisible, Philida will recognize he's under attack and will immediately report the crime before he croaks.

The Thieves Guild has a quest in which you must stand on a switch in order to open a keyhole on the other end of the room, then fire the key (which has been

gnuplot palette changes color with zoom

I'm plotting multiple transects together.  With two transects plotted, the color scheme is what I'm looking for.  When I plot a third, it changes.  If I zoom in with three transects plotted, I again get the desired color differentiations. Why does it change like this?  Is it a limit of gnuplot, my video card, monitor, or just my understanding of gnuplot?
I'm running a 4k monitor at 4k resolution on a 1.5GB Intel Iris graphics card on a 2015 MacBook Pro.  There are ~8,000 - ~11,000 points in each transect.
Undesired color palette:

Desired color palette, with zoom:

My code:
reset
set object 1 rectangle from screen 0,0 \
    to screen 1,1 fillcolor rgb 'black' behind
set view 49,15
set grid ztics
set palette model RGB
set palette defined (1 'cyan', 300 'blue', 650 'green', \
                     1500 'yellow', 3000'red', \
                     5000 'brown', 15000 'black', 50000 'black')

splot 'line_01.dat' u 2:1:3:4 w p pt 1 palette, \
      'line_03.dat' u 2:1:3:4 w p pt 1 palette, \
      'line_04.dat' u 2:1:3:4 w p pt 1 palette

A:

By default the palette maps the full range of Z values in the current plot.  If you add/subtract/change the surfaces shown in the plot then the range of Z values may expand or contract, causing a change in the color mapped to a specific Z value.
You can prevent this by fixing the range of Z values used in the color mapping so that it is independent of the current plot content. For example
set cbrange [0:1000]

Will map the current palette onto Z values in the range 0 - 1000.  Pixels with Z values outside this range will receive the max or min extreme color.

<|endoftext|>Break and entry crimes are a well documented and, apparently, daily occurrence in many, if not all, cities. Break and entry into commercial retail establishments is a particularly vexing problem in that, on the one hand, it is desirable for the retail establishment to have large attractive displays of their wares behind panoramic glass windows so as to advertise and promote the establishment's wares, and on the other hand, such large windows and their associated displays of wares, provide an enticing target for the criminal element who count on being able to break the glass from the outside and grab the wares on display through the open window frame.
In the prior art, it is common, especially in high crime areas, for commercial retail outlets to have either permanently installed metal bars either in front of or behind the glass storefront displays, thereby, marring the attractiveness of the display, or to have pull down shutters or grates so as to lock an obstacle into

 which generated the first complete sequence of the human genome. This project took over 10 years and nearly $3B to complete. Given these significant throughput and cost limitations, it is clear that DNA sequencing technologies will need to improve drastically in order to achieve the stated goals put forth by the scientific community. To that end, a number of second generation technologies, which far exceed the throughput and cost per base limitations of Sanger sequencing, are gaining an increasing share of the sequencing market. Still, these “sequencing by synthesis” methods fall short of achieving the throughput, cost, and quality targets required by markets such as whole genome sequencing for personalized medicine.
For example, 454 Life Sciences is producing instruments (e.g., the Genome Sequencer) that can process 100 million bases in 7.5 hours with an average read length of 200 nucleotides. Their approach uses a variation of Polymerase Chain Reaction (“PCR”) to produce a homogeneous colony of target nucleic acid, hundreds of bases in length, on the surface of a bead. This process is termed emulsion PCR. Hundreds of thousands of such beads are then arranged on a “picotiter plate”. The plate is then prepared for an additional sequencing whereby each nucleic acid base type is sequentially washed over the plate. Beads with target that incorporate the base produce a pyrophosphate byproduct that can be used to catalyze a light producing reaction that is then detected with a camera.
Illumina Inc. has a similar process that uses reversibly terminating nucleotides and fluorescent labels to perform nucleic acid sequencing. The average read length for Illumina's 1G Analyzer is less than 40 nucleotides. Instead of using emulsion PCR to amplify sequence targets, Illumina has an approach for amplifying PCR colonies on an array surface. Both the 454 and Illumina approaches use a complicating polymerase amplification to increase signal strength, perform base measurements during the rate limiting sequence extension cycle, and have limited read lengths because of incorporation errors that degrade the measurement signal to noise proportionally to the read length.
Applied Biosystems uses reversible terminating ligation rather than sequencing-by-synthesis to read the DNA. Like 454's Genome Sequencer, the technology uses bead-based emulsion PCR to amplify the sample. Since the majority of the beads do not carry PCR products, the researchers next use an enrichment step to select beads coated with DNA. The biotin-coated beads are spread and immobilized on a glass slide array covered with streptavidin. The immobilized beads are then run through a process of 8-mer probe hybridization (each labeled with four different fluorescent dyes), ligation, and cleavage (between the 5th and 6th bases to create a site for the next round of ligation). Each probe interrogates two bases, at positions 4 and 5 using a 2-base encoding system, which is recorded by a camera. Similar to Illumina's approach, the average read length for Applied Biosystems' SOLiD platform is less than 40 nucleotides.
Other approaches are being developed to avoid the time and expense of the polymerase amplification step by measuring single molecules of DNA directly. Visigen Biotechnologies, Inc. is measuring fluorescently labeled bases as they are sequenced by incorporating a second fluorophore into an engineered DNA polymerase and using Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) for nucleotide identification. This technique is faced with the challenges of separating the signals of bases that are separated by less than a nanometer and by a polymerase incorporation action that will have very large statistical variation.
A process being developed by LingVitae sequences cDNA inserted into immobilized plasmid vectors. The process uses a Class IIS restriction enzyme to cleave the target nucleic acid and ligate an oligomer into the target. Typically, one or two nucleotides in the terminal 5′ or 3′ overhang generated by the restriction enzyme determine which of a library of oligomers in the ligation mix will be added to the sticky, cut end of the target. Each oligomer contains “signal” sequences that uniquely identify the nucleotide(s) it replaces. The process of cleavage and ligation is then repeated. The new molecule is then sequenced using tags specific for the various oligomers. The product of this process is termed a “Design Polymer” and always consists of a nucleic acid longer than the one it replaces (e.g., a dinucleotide target sequence is replaced by a “magnified” polynucleotide sequence of as many as 100 base pairs). An advantage of this process is that the duplex product strand can be amplified if desired. A disadvantage is that the process is necessarily cyclical and the continuity of the template would be lost if simultaneous multiple restriction cuts were made.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,060,440 to Kless describes a sequencing process that involves incorporating oligomers by polymerization with a polymerase. A modification of the Sanger method, with end-terminated oligomers as substrates, is used to build sequencing ladders by gel electrophoresis or capillary chromatography. While coupling of oligomers by end ligation is well known, the use of a polymerase to couple oligomers in a template-directed process was utilized to new advantage.
Polymerization techniques are expected to grow in power as modified polymerases (and ligases) become available through genetic engineering and bioprospecting, and methods for elimination of exonuclease activity by polymerase modification are already known. For example, Published U.S. Patent Application 2007/0048748 to Williams describes the use of mutant polymerases for incorporating dye-labeled and other modified nucleotides. Substrates for these polymerases also include γ-phosphate labeled nucleotides. Both increased speed of incorporation and reduction in error rate were found with chimeric and mutant polymerases.
In addition, a large effort has been made by both academic and industrial teams to sequence native DNA using non-synthetic methods. For example, Agilent Technologies, Inc. along with university collaborators are developing a single molecule detection method that threads the DNA through a nanopore to make measurements as it passes through. As with Visigen and LingVitae, this method must overcome the problem of efficiently and accurately obtaining distinct signals from individual nucleobases separated by sub-nanometer dimensions, as well as the problem of developing reproducible pore sizes of similar size. As such, direct sequencing of DNA by detection of its constituent parts has yet to be achieved in a high-throughput process due to the small size of the nucleotides in the chain (about 4 Angstroms center-to-center) and the corresponding signal to noise and signal resolution limitations therein. Direct detection is further complicated by the inherent secondary structure of DNA, which does not easily elongate into a perfectly linear polymer.
While significant advances have been made in the field of DNA sequencing, there continues to be a need in the art for new and improved methods. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages.<|endoftext|>//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Variety denomination: xe2x80x98Balpixpicoxe2x80x99.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens walleriana and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name xe2x80x98Balpixpicoxe2x80x99.
xe2x80x98Balpixpicoxe2x80x99 is a product of a planned breeding program with the objective of developing Impatiens cultivars with small flowers and compact growth habits.
The female or seed parent of xe2x80x98Balpixpicoxe2x80x99 was an unnamed Impatiens plant. The male or pollen parent of xe2x80x98Balpixpicoxe2x80x99 was a mix of pollen from plants of the seed Impatiens series SUPER ELFIN(copyright). The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross during October 1999 in a controlled environment at Elburn, Ill. The new cultivar was initially designated xe2x80x98BFP-518xe2x80x99.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar has been carried out at West Chicago, Ill. by terminal tip cuttings and has demonstrated that the unique characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.

  \text{say}\right)  $, and as a consequence $h_{0}=0$, retrieving the ordinary scaling of $\tau=\varepsilon t\sim\varepsilon^{-1}$ as $t\sim\varepsilon^{-2}$. This also establishes, in retrospect, that the scaling exponent $h_{0}\left(
\varepsilon\right)  $ is well defined and can exist nontrivially i.e. $h_{0}\sim O\left(  1\right)  $ in a nonlinear problem (c.f. Appendix). As a consequence, *the RG control parameter* $\emph{h}_{RG}$ *can be of both the signs, with relatively small numerical value in fully developed nonlinear systems* $\varepsilon\gg1$*, but with a possible* $O\left(
1\right)  $ *variations for* $\varepsilon\sim O\left(  1\right)  $ *or less.*

The above construction actually tells somewhat more. Corresponding to the first generation scales $\varepsilon^{-n}$, one can, in fact, have the *second generation* nonlinear scales $$\tau_{m}=\lim\varepsilon^{m} t=\varepsilon^{-m h^{m}_{RG}\left(  \tilde
\tau\right)  }>1,\ \varepsilon<1, \ m>1 \label{scaling2}$$ as $t\rightarrow\varepsilon^{-m}$ with $h^{1}_{RG}=h_{RG}$. The *nonlinear time* $\tau$ now stands for these hierarchy of scales $\{\tau_{m}\}$. Consequently, as the linear time $t$ approaches $\infty$ through the first generation linear scales, the slowly varying nonlinear time $\tau$ approaches either to $\infty$ or 0 at slower and slower rates as represented by the numerically small RG scaling exponents $h^{m}_{RG}(\varepsilon)$, each of which remains almost constant over longer and longer intervals of $\varepsilon^{-1}$ (as $\varepsilon^{-1} \rightarrow
\infty$ ). In the present paper we show how the first two scaling exponents $h_{i}(\tilde\tau), \ i=1,2$ relate to the nonperturbative properties of the limit cycle. We expect higher order scaling exponents $h_{m}$ would have vital role in bifurcation of nonautonomous systems. This problem will be investigated elsewhere.

Let us remark that for $\varepsilon>1$, we consider instead the first generation scales as $\varepsilon^{n}$, and the duality is invoked for variables satisfying $t/\varepsilon<\varepsilon<\tilde{t}(t)$ so that the asymptotic scaling variables are derived as $\tau_{m}=\varepsilon^{m
h^{m}_{RG}(\tilde\tau)},\ \varepsilon>1$ where $h^{m}_{RG}=1-h^{m}_{0}$. Moreover, said proliferation of nonlinear scales (\[scaling2\]) actually continues ad infinitum. In fact, interpreting each second generation scale $\tau_{m}$, $m$ fixed, as first generation scale, and iterating above steps one associates third generation scales $\tau_{m_{k}}, \ k=1,2,\ldots$, and so on.

It now follows, from the above general remarks on the behaviour of $h_{RG}$, that the nonlinear time $\tau$ actually approaches 0 or $\infty$ as $\tau
\sim(\log\varepsilon)^{-\alpha}$ or $\tau\sim(\log\varepsilon)^{\alpha},
\ \alpha>0$ respectively as $\varepsilon\rightarrow\infty$. However, one must have $\tau=\varepsilon^{-h_{RG}(\varepsilon)}\rightarrow\infty$ as $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$. An example of the asymptotic behaviours of $h_{RG}$ is given by $\tau_{m}=\varepsilon^{\pm\alpha_{m}\frac{\log\log\varepsilon
}{\log\varepsilon}}$ for $\varepsilon\rightarrow\infty$, which one expects to verify explicitly in evaluation of asymptotic quantities, such as amplitude of a periodic cycle, in a nonlinear system.

In the IRGM, we exploit this duality induced nontrivial scaling information to rewrite the lowest order perturbative flow equations (\[Amp Eq Order 3\]) and (\[Phase Eq Order 3\]) as the asymptotic RG flow equations in the limit $t\rightarrow\infty$ $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{da}{d\tau_{1}} &  =\frac{1}{2}a\left(  1-\frac{a^{2}}{4}\right)
\label{Amp}\\
\frac{d\psi}{d\tau_{2}} &  =-\frac{1}{8}\left(  1-\frac{a^{4}}{32}\right)
\label{Phase}$$ for the amplitude $a=a(\tilde{\tau})$ and the phase $\psi=\psi(\tilde{\tau})$ of the limit cycle of both the Rayleigh and Van der Pol equations, involving slowly varying nonlinear time scales $\tau_{i},\ i=1,2$. The asymptotic scaling functions $\tau_{1}=\phi_{1}(\varepsilon t)=\varepsilon^{h_{RG}^{1}}$ and $\tau_{2}=\phi(\varepsilon^{2}t)=\varepsilon^{2h_{RG}^{2}}$ are activated invoking nonlinear limits as in (\[scaling2\]) as $t\rightarrow\varepsilon
^{-1}$ and $t\rightarrow\varepsilon^{-2}$ successively in the above equations. The slowly varying almost constant scaling functions $\phi_{1}$ and $\phi_{2}$, satisfying $|\ddot{\phi}_{i}|<<|\dot{\phi}_{i}^{2}|<<1$, are assumed to have a rhythmic pattern over the cycle: when $\phi_{1}$ varies slowly, $\phi_{2}$ remains almost constant i.e. $\dot{\phi}_{1}>0,\ \dot{\phi}_{2}\approx0$ and vice versa successively on the cycle (c.f. Appendix Sec. B). Nontrivial ultrametric neighbourhood structure induced asymptotically by duality principle (c.f. Appendix Sec. A) can indeed support such *locally constant* nonlinear rhythmic behaviour. The above flow equations may therefore be considered *exact* and encode non-perturbative information of the limit cycle variables $a$ and $\psi$ respectively. The conventional perturbative RG flow equations in the linear time $t$ is now extended into the non-perturbative flow equations in the nontrivial scaling variable $\tau
_{i}=\varepsilon^{ih_{RG}^{i}(\tilde{\tau})},\ i=1,2$ involving the nonlinearity parameter $\varepsilon>1$. The perturbative fixed point for the amplitude equation at $a=2$ for $t\rightarrow\infty$ corresponding to the periodic oscillation with $\varepsilon<<1$ is superimposed by *small scale periodic* flow of amplitude $a(\tau_{1})$ over the entire cycle. The associated phase $\psi(\tau_{2})$ then flow at a slower rate *linearly with the higher order scale $\tau_{2}$* when $a(\tau_{1})$ remains almost constant over a relatively small period of time.

The RG estimated approximate formulae for the amplitude $a(\varepsilon)$ for the Rayleigh and Van der Pol limit cycles are obtained from the equation (\[Amp\]) in the Sec.4.1, when appropriate boundary condition, derived either from exact computation or from perturbative analysis, is used for a suitable finite value of $\varepsilon$. In the next subsection 4.2, we present the efficient graphs of the Rayleigh and VdP limit cycle parametrized by the nonlinear scales $\tau_{i}=\phi_{i}(\tilde\tau), \ \tilde\tau\sim O(1)$ for fixed values of the nonlinearity parameter $\varepsilon$.

As it turns out, entire onus in the improved RG analysis essentially rests in proper estimation/identification of the scaling functions $h^{i}_{RG}$ (i.e. $\phi_{i}(\tilde\tau)$) which should yield correct dynamical properties of a nonlinear system. We hope to undertake more detailed and systematic analysis for determining $h^{i}_{RG}$ elsewhere. In this work we limit ourselves only to show that IRGM can indeed yield correct amplitude and solution for the Rayleigh and VdP systems provided one makes appropriate choice of $h^i_{RG}$ based on clues from exact computations and previously known approximate results (for instance the perturbative RGM). We remark finally that the perturbative RG method is known to extend the conventional multiple scale method [@Chen; @G; @O; @RG]. Nonlinear time formalism introduces new set of nonlinear scales $\phi_n(\tilde \tau)$ associated with ordinary scales $\varepsilon^n$. We study here the nontrivial applications of such nonlinear scaling functions.

Approximate Formula for Amplitude\[SubSec Amplitude Estimation\]
----------------------------------------------------------------

We shall now use the above asymptotic amplitude flow equation (\[Amp\]) to find analytic approximations of the amplitudes of the limit cycle for both the Rayleigh and Van der Pol equations.

By a direct integration, one obtains from (\[Amp\]) $$\ln\left(  a^{2}-4\right)  -2\ln a=-\varepsilon^{h_{RG}}-0.87953\label{Amp Sol RG RL}$$ as the Rayleigh limit cycle amplitude where we use the boundary condition the value $a=2.17271$ for $\varepsilon=1$ (this choice simplifies calculation). It follows immediately that for suitable choices of the control parameter $h_{RG}$ one can achieve efficient matching for the estimated amplitude $a_{{E}}(\varepsilon)$. For example, using the HAM generated approximate formula (\[HAM Amp New\]) for $a_{{E}}(\varepsilon)$, we can determine the control parameter $h_{RG}(\varepsilon)$ by the formula $$h_{RG}=\frac{1}{\ln\varepsilon}\ln\left\{  \left\vert

In The Matter of the Estate of WILLIAM B. MOE, Deceased.
IDA E. TURNER, Appellee,
v.
WILLIAM W. MOE, Administrator of the Estate of WILLIAM B. MOE, Deceased, Appellant.
No. 57,748
Supreme Court of Kansas.
Opinion filed December 5, 1986.
J. Stan Sexton, of Hampton, Royce, Engleman and Nelson, of Salina, argued the cause, and John Q. Royce, of the same firm, and Fred Swoyer, of Swoyer and Simms, of Belleville, were with him on the brief for appellant.
Milo M. Unruh, Jr., of Arn, Mullins, Unruh, Kuhn and Wilson, of Wichita, argued the cause, and John C. Nodgaard, of the same firm, was with him on the brief for appellee.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
LOCKETT, J.:
During the probate of the estate of William B. Moe (Moe), the district judge at a de novo hearing reversed the district magistrate judge's denial of the claim of Ida Turner (Turner) against the estate and ordered specific performance of an agreement between the deceased and Ida Turner for services rendered during Moe's lifetime. William W. Moe, administrator *243 of the estate, appealed the district judge's decision. The Court of Appeals agreed with the district judge's finding that Turner was entitled to specific performance of the oral agreement, but held that her claim against the estate was barred by K.S.A. 60-512's three-year limitation for bringing an action on oral agreements. In re Estate of Moe, 11 Kan. App.2d 244, 719 P.2d 7 (1986). Turner, in her petition for review, claimed that the Court of Appeals incorrectly found that K.S.A. 60-512's limitation barred her claim. We granted review.
Moe died intestate on August 19, 1983. A petition for administration of his estate under the Kansas Simplified Estates Act, K.S.A. 59-3201 et seq., was filed, and William W. Moe, son of the decedent and his only heir-at-law, was appointed as administrator of the estate.
Ida E. Turner filed a petition for allowance of claim against Moe's estate seeking $225,978.17 due and owing as of January 1, 1984, for services performed by Turner for Moe from July 1969 through May of 1983.
Turner's claim was originally tried before the district magistrate. After hearing witnesses and reviewing the exhibits, the district magistrate denied Turner's claim. Turner appealed to the district judge and received a hearing de novo based on the transcript of the prior hearing. K.S.A. 59-2408. The district judge found that Moe had orally promised to will certain property to Turner. He ordered specific performance of the contract by conveyance of the "pig pen" and a sum of money equal to the sale price of the "home place" to Turner.
The administrator appealed. The Court of Appeals found that there had been an oral contract between Moe and Turner, but that the contract had been breached when Moe sold the home place in 1980. It concluded that Turner's 1984 claim against Moe's estate was barred by the statute of limitations. We now reverse the Court of Appeals and find that Turner's claim is not barred by the three-year limitation of K.S.A. 60-512.
Prior to September 1969, Turner was employed as a housekeeper on the home place by Albert "Cap" Moe, father of the decedent. In return for her housekeeping services, Turner received room, board, and $20 per week. Following "Cap" Moe's death, William W. Moe employed Turner as his housekeeper on the home place under a similar oral contract.
*244 Turner performed housekeeping services for Moe from September 1969 though June 1980. Moe was 67 years old in 1969 and in reasonably good health. Between 1969 and 1980, his health deteriorated markedly. He was hospitalized several times for ulcers, strokes, and the amputation of part of a foot. When he could no longer perform chores around the farm, Turner and her brother assumed those duties.
Prior to November 1976, Moe, at various times, promised Turner that if she would continue performing the housekeeping and other services, he would leave her the home place and another tract of land known as the "pig pen."
On November 18, 1976, Moe executed a will leaving Turner the home place, the pig pen, and various lots in Scandia, Kansas; the cash in his bank account; his personal property; and all of the residue of his estate except that bequeathed to his son, William W. Moe. Turner received a copy of this will. On February 6, 1978, Moe executed a second will leaving the home place, the pig pen, the Scandia lots, the personal property, and the estate residue to Turner and her daughter, Mary K. Riley. Turner also received a copy of this will.
On June 5, 1979, an altercation occurred between Turner and William W. Moe concerning Turner's drinking. As a result, Turner left the home place and went to stay with her daughter in Wichita. During the week Turner was in Wichita, Moe repeatedly called Turner and asked her to return to the farm to care for him. After consulting with an attorney about her rights, Turner agreed to return. She resumed her housekeeping chores and lived in the home place until it was sold in July of 1980.
Moe's dissatisfaction with Turner's drinking and the resulting neglect of her work provided the impetus for him to sell the home place and move to town. Moe purchased a second house in Scandia and placed the title in Turner's name. Turner then moved into that house which was a short distance from the house where Moe lived. From July 1980 until Moe's death, Turner continued to perform housekeeping chores for Moe, and he continued to pay her $20 per week for her services. During this time Moe's son assumed a greater role in the care of Moe, daily taking him out to meals and administering his father's medications.
Turner raised six issues in the Court of Appeals. The Court of *245 Appeals found that: (1) the pleadings were sufficient to establish a claim for specific performance of an oral contract; (2) the proffered rebuttal testimony was admissible; and (3) there was clear and convincing evidence to establish that the decedent did promise Turner the pig pen and the home place, in addition to paying her for housekeeping, if Turner would care for him and the farm until his death. The Court of

 of electricity, the core causes are shared in every European state: dissatisfaction resulting from the forced dismantling of social support services brought on by the European debt crisis, and a sense that policymakers are orienting their activity not to the needs of the public but to the service of large European banks.

These forces are accompanied by the perception that national governments have neither the capacity nor the will to address the consequences of a fiscal and social policy that are widely seen as imbalanced against the public interest. In Greece, Hungary and Italy the contribution of public dissatisfaction to the rise of antidemocratic movements of the extreme right is already apparent.

While conservative political leaders in the EU, particularly from Germany and the UK (and until last year, France) have largely been successful in pushing for a shift of priorities to debt service and “austerity,” the consequences of this should concern everybody in Europe. In the period after the end of the First World War, there was a similar euphoric and triumphalist announcement that liberal democracy could declare its inevitable victory across the continent.

Inattention to the responsibilities of states to their publics on the part of that generation of liberal democratic elites led to a rapid and general decay of constitutional systems and an accelerating tendency of governments to neglect of social responsibilities.

If we take one lesson from the failures of democratic order in the 1920s and 1930s, it should be that governments that fail to address social needs will be challenged by forces, some of them extremist ones, that promise to do so.

Uncertainties about the EU’s future are undermining mainstream parties throughout Europe. In Central and Castern Europe politicians can no longer sell the European model of liberal reforms when that model is itself in crisis, argues Sean Hanley

Although only three EU members in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Estonia, Slovakia and Slovenia, have adopted the Euro, the knock-on effects of stagnation in the Eurozone has pushed governments across CEE towards unpopular austerity programmes, exacerbating social tensions and collapsing support for incumbent parties. The uncertainties about the EU’s future are also undermining mainstream parties in the region. Politicians can no longer sell liberal reforms as part of a successful, tried and tested european model as they once did, when that model is itself in crisis. For many this seems to point darkly towards a turning away from liberal politics in CEE and a growth in euroscepticism, populism and nationalism. (more…)

Why is toilet paper such a commonplace in writing about Eastern Europe? Anglo-American disgust at local toilet facilities – or their absence – certainly didn’t appear with the Cold War: this was an old cliché in Western depictions of East European and Mediterranean societies. (Reactions to postwar Greek plumbing –especially the little basket for used paper – continued in this tradition, showing that while Greece was on the right side of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, it was on the wrong side of the Paper one.)

But Westerners also attached new, more ideological connotations to toilet paper. As early as 1948 commentators saw blips in supply as the Party-State’s contempt for everyday human needs. (Concern for the ‘ordinary citizen’ seemed less important a decade later, with Americans questioning whether their success with consumer disposables, symbolized by toilet paper, measured up to the Soviet conquest of space with Sputnik.) Toilet paper was handy for dramatizing the humiliations visited on dissidents: interviewers with Milovan Djilas in the 1960s were less interested in what he had written during imprisonment than in the fact that his words had covered thousands of sheets of toilet paper (supply clearly wasn’t a problem).

by saw pan

The Michael Crabtree saga has finally come to an end, or has it? Is this the end of a story about a young man making wise business decisions? Or is this the beginning of a drama about a prima donna that will plague the National Football League for years to come? Only time will tell. To give a few clues however, let’s compare Michael Crabtree’s young career to two San Francisco 49ers receiving stars.

First let’s use our imagination to see how Jerry Rice would have handled Crabtree’s situation. Rice was picked by the 49ers with their 16th pick in the 1985 NFL draft. Jerry Rice is a very confident man. Anyone that can work to become the greatest receiver of all time has to have already convinced himself he is the greatest. What if Jerry Rice heard he had been drafted 16th but thought to himself “Al Toon was just drafted 10th and I know for a fact that I am going to be a better receiver then that guy. I should have been the first receiver drafted this year, not him. I deserve to be paid the same or more! I am not playing a single game until I get what I deserve.” Did Rice respond like that? Absolutely not! Jerry Rice is the epitome of a team player. He also knew that his skills would lead to bigger paychecks down the line. He put in his time, stayed quiet, constantly worked to improve his game, and therefore was rewarded not just monetarily, but with wins and records and rings and fame.

Now let’s take Terrell Owens. He was drafted in the third round of the 1996 NFL draft as the 89th pick. What we now know of Owens is that he is self consumed, egotistical, and selfish. With Owens skill set, size, and strength he no doubt thought he was much better than the 89th pick. Owens was a pioneer of the remarkably fast and strong wide receiver. There weren’t any wide receivers in the league that had his physique and therefore he could have justified in his mind that he was due money comparable to Keyshawn Johnson or Marvin Harrison (both chosen in the first round). Did he hold out through the first four games of the 96 season? Of course not! Owens didn’t get greedy until he proved himself on the field. It wasn’t until he performed that he allowed the narcissistic side of his personality show in the media. Yet once that conceit set in it was there to stay. And since money and the façade of respect has become his driving force, he has not been a winner. Sure his teams can win a few games. Sure he can look good on a stat sheet. Sure he can still be dominant on the field. But when it comes to helping a team win a championship, he has no idea what to do. His mind has clouded by his own image.

That brings us back to Michael Crabtree. So far he has kept himself out of the off the field troubles. So far he hasn’t given the media sound bites that would immediately gloss him as the next arrogant receiver. So far his public image has stayed amazingly intact. Yet his actions say otherwise.

Right now if we were to determine whose footsteps Crabtree is walking in we would have to say Terrell Owens. Any young player who thinks that they deserve compensation for doing absolutely nothing is already starting off down a dangerous path. Dangerous because haughtiness doesn’t soon go away. Dangerous because life can be a true disappointment when you walk around with an unfounded sense of entitlement. Dangerous because self-centeredness does not lead wins, records, rings, and fame. Ultimately pride will cost a player money.

Michael Crabtree has had an ominous beginning to a potentially good career. Will he do the 49ers, the NFL, and himself a favor by emulating Jerry Rice from here on out? Or will he go down in infamy by clinging to the example of Terrell Owens? Only time will tell.<|endoftext|>The Singles Dating Blog

Late last night, the 37 million users of the adultery-themed dating site Ashley Madison got some very bad news. A group calling itself the Impact Team appears to have compromised all the company's data, and is threatening to release "all customer records, including profiles with all the customers' secret sexual fantasies" if Ashley Madison and a sister site are not taken down.
Collecting and retaining user data is the norm in modern web businesses, and while it's usually invisible, the result for Ashley Madison has been catastrophic. In hindsight, we can point to data that should have been anonymized or connections that should have been less accessible, but the biggest problem is deeper and more universal. If services want to offer genuine privacy, they have to break away from those practices, interrogating every element of their service as a potential security problem. Ashley Madison didn't do that. The service was engineered and arranged like dozens of other modern web sites — and by following those rules, the company made a breach like this inevitable.

The most obvious example of this is Ashley Madison's password reset feature. It works just like dozens of other password resets you've seen: you enter in your email, and if you're in the database, they'll send a link to create a new password. As developer Troy Hunt points out, it also shows you a slightly different message if the email really is in the database. The result is that, if you want to find out if your husband is looking for dates on Ashley Madison, all you have to do is plug in his email and see which page you get.
That was true long before the hack, and it was a serious data leak — but because it followed standard web practices, it slipped by mostly unnoticed.

 Test hundreds, shaped to play the switch hit before Tillakaratne Dilshan was in his delivery stride and later admitted he was not aware of the regulation that prevents him moving prematurely. Pietersen, who made his 20th Test hundred, began to get into place for the shot as Dilshan started his run-up and the bowler twice aborted his run up.

The incident occurred during an enthralling head-to-head between Pietersen and Dilshan, which had already seen Pietersen switch his grip around to strike the bowler through the off side. However, Pietersen then began to set himself earlier for the shot and Dilshan refused to deliver which led to a stalemate.

Asad Rauf, the umpire at the bowler's end, signalled the warning to Pietersen after the second aborted delivery after consulting with his colleague Bruce Oxenford. Pietersen gesticulated towards the officials, clearly unsure about what he was being penalised for. The immediate consequence was that if Pietersen, or any other England batsman, did it again during the innings Sri Lanka would be awarded five penalty runs.

"There's no issue, I just got my timing wrong," Pietersen said. "He said it was a warning because I moved my hands a bit too quick. I don't understand the rules, it's something I found out today, mid-innings, at a pretty unfortunate time. I've just got to switch my hands a little later, which I didn't know. You learn something new every day. Once I'd been warned I enquired about it."

Andy Flower, the England team director, immediately went to the match referee's room for clarification over the issue, his second visit of the match following his questioning of a review against Thilan Samaraweera on the first day. The ball after the official warning, Pietersen reverse-swept again and brought up his hundred. He went on to make 151 from 165 balls as England pushed for their first victory of the winter.

Oxenford, who was at square leg when the warning was given, spoke to Sky Sports after the day's play. "The ICC think switch-hitting is an excellent innovation," he said. "But when the bowler sees intent [in the batsman altering his stance] prior to delivering the ball and stops what can happen is we can get a stalemate situation...the bowler won't deliver because he wants to change his field if he thinks the batsman is going to switch-hit.

"When we get to that situation the way to move forward is to give the batsman an informal warning, then a formal one for time-wasting. If it happens again it's a team warning under time-wasting by the batting side and it's an automatic five-run penalty."

An ICC statement in May 2010 said: "The ICC Cricket Committee adopted the updated directive introduced earlier in the year which prevents the batsman from altering his grip or stance before the bowler enters his delivery stride. Should the bowler see a batsman change his grip or stance prior to the delivery stride the bowler can decide not to bowl the ball."

Graham Ford, the Sri Lanka coach and a mentor to Pietersen, appeared more to speed with the regulation. "The rule is quite clear: if the batsman sets himself up prior to the bowler's release and the bowler sees him and is able to stop the warning is issued. I think for about every single one he set himself up before the release except for the ones straight after the warning. I think it was all handled pretty well."

When Pietersen first unveiled the switch hit against New Zealand in 2008 it provoked debate about the legality of the shot because, for example, if a bowler wants to change from right to left arm (however rare that occurrence may be) he has to inform the umpire and the batsman. There are also implications for what fairly constitues a wide delivery or lbw. However, the MCC approved the shot, citing the difficultly level as a main reason, and hailed it as a good innovation for cricket.

"MCC believes that the'switch-hit' stroke is exciting for the game of cricket," was the conclusion. "Indeed, the stroke conforms to the Laws of Cricket and will not be legislated against...MCC believes that the'switch-hit' stroke is a difficult shot to execute and that it incurs a great deal of risk for the batsman. It also offers bowlers a good chance of taking a wicket and therefore MCC believes that the shot is fair to both batsman and bowler."

After this latest incident, the MCC added: "A batsman is still entitled to play the switch-hit stroke but he is only allowed to alter from one stance or grip to another once the bowler has entered his delivery stride. Pietersen should therefore have only been warned if the umpire was certain that Dilshan had not entered his bowling stride before the batsman shaped to play the switch-hit."

Pietersen believes there is more danger for the batsman and says it is a shot he will continue to play - if with slightly different timing.

"Like I said when I played it against New Zealand, I don't think the batsman should get penalised because I'm taking the biggest risk," he observed. "I've always said I'll play to that side of the field when there's no one there. I don't find it a hard shot, I can just manipulate the field when they bowl a leg-stump line. It's a shot worth playing."<|endoftext|>A teenage girl has hanged herself after internet trolls relentlessly bullied her online, with one asking 'can you kill yourself already?', her friends have claimed.

Jessica Laney, 16, was found dead at her home in Hudson, Florida, on Sunday night after users on social networking sites branded her 'fat', a'slut' and tormented her over her looks and love life.

The teen had a profile on Ask.fm, where people can post questions anonymously on a user's page, and friends claim constant abuse pushed Jessica over the edge.
'My friend Jessica Laney took her life,' friend Valeria Canales told ABC. 'She was constantly bullied and bullied. And she was pushed and pushed to the point where she couldn’t handle it anymore.

'Ask.fm is a website where people can ask anonymous questions to anyone they want. And that's how Jessica was constantly put down and bullied... It needs to be shut down.
'She was a beautiful girl & everyone loved her. Shes gonna be missed. We have to put an end to bullying. Please help.'

The cruel remarks can still be seen on Jessica's page. One visitor asked her, 'Can you kill yourself already?' while another commented 'nobody even cares about you'.
Jessica, who was a keen soccer player, also takes to the page to reveal her own turmoil, sharing her heartbreak at her troubled family life, school spats and concerns over her body.

'My brother and I don't talk anymore,' she wrote earlier this month. 'My dad, yeah he ignores me like I don't even f***ing exist. I have almost no friends I actually trust. My mom bitches at me for the littlest things. I am basically all alone.'

And in one now haunting post, she responded to a question asking what she thought about suicide.

'If you ever feel this low I just wanna say it's not your fault,' she wrote at the end of November. 'I know you feel useless, broken, not wanted and alone. I was there. But I promise you it will get better.
'You will get through the endless pain I promise school will be over soon and you can get away from the judgmental f***s. Nothing is worth it; it will all get better.'
However, officials at Pasco County Sheriff's Office said neither Jessica's parents or boyfriend were aware of any bullying and said no formal complaint had ever been made to the school district.
'Our thoughts and prayers go to the Jessica Marie Laney's family as they deal with their loss,' Sheriff's spokesman Doug Tobi added.

On Tuesday, students at Fivay High School, where Jessica attended and played soccer, wore purple in remembrance of the teenager.
The students are also pushing for the website, Ask.fm, to be closed down.
'After I saw that, I thought they should just delete the website,' friend Laney Torres told ABC Action News. 'Nobody should have that, to have people say stuff like that on there.'
Around 3,000 people have signed a petition at Change.org to close the website.
Sheriff Chris Nocco said the messages on Ask.fm are disturbing and an investigation continues.

'What we can say is that we are going through the social network sites right now,' he said.
'We don't even know if a crime occurred. It could have been nasty words that were said, that led this young girl to take the actions that she did.'

Ask.fm is a website where users can post anonymous questions to other users and is said to have more than 20 million members.
The Latvian-based site, which targets 13 to 18 year olds, previously came under fire after it was linked to the deaths of two teenagers in Ireland earlier this year.
The website's terms of service recommend 'by way of example, and not as a limitation' that users do not transmit 'offensive, threatening, harassing
