To placate the resurgent opposition, the MPPDA promised to abide by a set of guidelines more extensive and restrictive than the simple nostrums enshrined in the “Don’ts and Be Carefuls.” The document that articulated the new commitment to screen morality was the Production Code. Written in 1929 by Martin J. Quigley, an influential editor and publisher of motion picture trade periodicals, and Reverend Daniel A. Lord, a multitalented Jesuit who first lent his spiritual expertise to Hollywood as the Catholic advisor to Cecil B.

The liberalisation of the services sector has been a controversial and much debated issue in the WTO. As we know, the developed countries are the main suppliers of services, although the developing countries are starting to shift towards a service-sector economy. According to data from Stiglitz and Charlton (2005), trade liberalisation of services would generate profits of US$375 billion per year, in other words 75% of a full liberalisation of goods and services. In addition, 75% of the profits from service trade liberalisation would go to the developed countries.

When mothers and their children are separated, mothers may not see their children again or may lose track of them. Sometimes this is due to the costs involved in arranging their visits to the prison. Other times it is because the mother rejects the relatives taking care of the children or because the mother has lost custody of the child (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2008). These mental and developmental problems tend to stay with children throughout their lives.

The data set we received from CIBC has 304,698 observations. Each observation represents a customer and is described by 407 variables, both categorical and numerical. The variable “index” gives the ID of the customer and the variable “target” describes whether the customer had responded to the previous campaign. There are a lot of missing values. Detailed descriptions on the meaning of each variable were not provided. All of the observations had received the direct promotion.

The Japanese love their landscapes tamed and manicured, more parks than wilderness. 12 They like artfully to prune their pines, cultivate simple flower and rock gardens, arrange a waterfall, attract some geese, walk a path with a geometrically rising curve, look back, and enjoy the moon rising over the temple, silhouetting it all. They are hardly interested in admiring a pristine ecosystem or geological formations.

Starch- and plant-protein-based glues, for example, do not have the strength of petrochemical-derived superglues. On the other hand, plant-derived chemicals have unique advantages for other uses. Recombinant proteins, for example, can be designed and produced in plants to provide tissue glues analogous to the fibrinogen that naturally forms around a flesh wound. Emerging technologies offer dramatic new capabilities to alter plant metabolic pathways, opening up unprecedented opportunities to produce high-value chemicals from renewable resources....

We study weekly portfolio returns from 23 developed markets. We choose to study returns at a weekly frequency to avoid the problems caused by nonsyn- chronous trading around the world at higher frequencies. All returns are U.S. dollar denominated, and we calculate excess returns by subtracting the U.S. weekly T-bill rate, which is obtained from the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) riskfree file. 1 Our selection of developed countries matches the countries currently in the Morgan Stanley Developed Country Index. Data for the United States are from Compustat and CRSP.

The possibility of unsafe abortion should be reduced through the provision of good quality, affordable and accessible abortion services, within the limits of the law. Quality family planning services also reduce the prevalence of abortion. Women and their communities should be sensitized to the importance of seeking timely care for the symptoms of reproductive tract infection, and for the need to receive clinical care under safe and clean conditions.

the Somali people have suffered through decades of poverty, under-investment, conflict, insecurity, displacements and natural disasters. reproductive health suffers considerably in such an environment, as more than in any other field of health, meeting needs depends on a comprehensive, functioning health system. recent survey and health information such as the last MicS in 2006 reaffirm the high levels of need of women in Somalia (high fertility and high maternal mortality - MMr 1,400/100,000 live births) and low levels of access to quality services.

The first step in materials development is a well-designed plan. It provides a clear and concise summary of your project, project justification, project goals, a workplan, a realistic timeline, and a detailed budget. Planning will help you make good decisions and will help you and your staff stay focused on the project, even when things go wrong. Planning also helps you define, and later measure, success. PATH recommends you put your plan in writing.

The Ministry of Women's Affairs (MoWA) was established by the Bonn Agreement and was tasked by the interim and transitional governments of Afghanistan with responsibility for advancing the role of women. Although new as a Ministry, a precedent institution for the promotion of women has existed since 1928, when 'Society for the Protection of Women' was established. As a quasi-government body, the 'Society' has faded or flourished with the changing values of the Afghan political leadership throughout the 20th Century. ...

Organic farms extend from market gardens clustered near Australia’s big cities, to dairy farms scattered along the East Coast to vast cattle stations in the outback. But the organic industry in Australia is more than the sum of its farms. It is composed of processing facilities, logistics operations, wholesalers, retailers, exporters, certification organisations and a range of other individuals and organisations.

Some preliminary work has been done on subjects’ preference for different aesthetics in UML class and collaboration diagrams (Purchase et al. 2000), revealing that users preferred diagrams with fewer bends and crosses, shorter edge lengths and an orthogonal structure. However, that experiment only looked at subjects’ personal preference for the aesthetics, rather than their performance on UML related tasks.

The analysis of weekly price indices in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman stock markets showed that: (1) share prices were cointegrated with one cointegrating vector and two common stochastic trends driving the series, which indicates the existence of a stable, long-term equilibrium relationship between them; and (2) prices were not affected by short-term changes but were moving along the trend values of each other. Therefore, information on the price levels would be helpful for predicting their changes.

We present an array of force spectroscopy experiments that aim to identify the role of solvent hydrogen bonds in protein folding and chemical reactions at the single-molecule level. In our experiments we control the strength of hydrogen bonds in the solvent environment by substituting water (H2O) with deuterium oxide (D2O). Using a combination of force protocols, we demonstrate that protein unfolding, protein collapse, protein folding and a chemical reaction are affected in different ways by substituting H2O with D2O.
