Butt scirrhus begins by entering the submucosa, then rapidly spreads to other parts of the bowel, pushing hard lumps up into the intestinal tracts. These lumps eventually start breaking down and turn into ragged, bleeding sores. The disease usually makes its home a couple inches above the butthole, and likes to spread to all the nearby organs and body structures. It'll create a dense mass and gather organs like the bladder, uterus, penis and vagina together, often causing abscesses and fistulae to develop. | Scirrhus of the rectum commences as an infiltration of the submucosa, which rapidly involves the other elements of the bowel, pushing hard nodules upward into the lumen of the intestinal tube: these break down and form ragged ulcers with indurated margins, and bleed profusely. Its situation is usually not higher than three inches above the anus. It has a tendency to invade all the neighboring organs and soft structures, to bind them to itself in a firm, dense mass, and to form communications with the vagina, bladder, uterus, perineum, and penis. Abscesses and fistulae are common complications. | Too conversational, rephrase it to be more formal? | formality |
I just got to Havana,” she kept going, “before I got a note from him. He already wanted for us to come together again. Was the other lady bored of him already? I pondered to myself, or was it real, as his dad said to me, that he escaped by himself? I wrote back, and so did he. I wrote again, and it stayed this way. I tried for this love that I now know isn’t worth anything for 2 years. He was taking a trip around the world, and wanted to come to me 12 times. I assured him that he should continue his trip, as a probation, you see. He listened. But my god did this guy love me. | "I had hardly settled in Havana," she continued, "before I received a letter from him. Already he wanted to come back to me. Had the other woman tired of him already? I asked myself, or was it really true, as his father had told me, that he had fled alone? I answered the letter, and he wrote again. Again I answered, and so it was kept up. For two years I played with the love I now knew was worthless. He was traveling round the world, and a dozen times wanted to come directly to me.

Taxpayers could deduct casualty losses from damage to/destruction of personal property (property not connected to trade/business). For tax years 2018-2025, the casualty loss deduction is limited to losses attributable to federally declared disasters. After 2025, under current law, the deduction is to be available to losses coming from any fire, storm, shipwreck, or other casualty or theft. Casualty losses are an itemized deduction. Each casualty is subject to a $100 floor, meaning only losses bigger than $100 are deductible for each casualty. Also, casualty losses are deductible only to the extent that aggregate losses go over 10% of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income (AGI). Only casualty losses not paid for by insurance or otherwise can be deducted. | Taxpayers may be able to deduct casualty losses resulting from damage to or destruction of personal property (property not connected to a trade or business).

In January of 2018, DNA evidence proved that Joanne Hayes wasn't the mother of the baby found at White Strand. Irish news reported that Garda Commissioner Donall O'Cualain had given Joanne a full verbal and written apology for falsely accusing her. The minister for Justice, Charlie Flanagan, and the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, also apologized to Hayes. They then launched a brand new investigation into the death of little Baby John. As of September 2018, the Gardai stated that they were following up on some details from the original investigation, and that they were going house-to-house on Valentina Island (the island opposite the beach they found Baby John on) asking questions related to the investigation. | A Garda review of the DNA evidence, announced on 16 January 2018, confirmed that Joanne Hayes was not the mother of the infant found at White Strand.

Though it may look weird by today standards, the ancient Mayan language made through a lot of ups and downs of time like making it through wars and stuff.

It has, of course, somewhat degenerated by the mingling of so many races in such a limited space as the peninsula of Yucatan is; but it is yet the vernacular of the people. The Spaniards themselves, who strived so hard to wipe out all vestiges of the ancient customs of the aborigines, were unable to destroy it; nay, they were obliged to learn it; and now many of their descendants have forgotten the mother tongue of their sires, and speak Maya only. | A little bit informal | formality |

Since becoming President in 2019, President Bolsonaro has kept his political base strong by taking conservative stands on cultural matters and pushing for tough crime-fighting policies. He's also worked to implement economic and regulatory reforms that appeal to overseas investors and Brazilian firms. But he's also made a lot of enemies because of his aggressive style of leadership, which has made it harder for him to get his policies passed. Many Brazilians and international observers worry that Bolsonaro's environmental policies are leading to more deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon and his attacks on the press, NGOs and other government branches are damaging democracy. | Since taking office in January 2019, President Bolsonaro has maintained his political base's support by taking socially conservative stands on cultural issues and proposing hardline security policies to reduce crime and violence.

We present an x-ray absorption model for the interstellar medium, to be referred to as ismabs, that accounts for both neutral and ionized species of cosmically abundant elements. It includes the most accurate atomic data available. Using high - resolution spectra from eight x - ray binaries obtained with the _ chandra _ high energy transmission grating spectrometer, we proceed to benchmark the atomic data in the model particularly in the neon k - edge region. Compared with previous photoabsorption models, which solely rely on neutral species, the inclusion of ions leads to improved spectral fits. Fit parameters comprise the column densities of abundant contributors that allow direct estimates of the ionization states. Ismabs is provided in the appropriate format to be implemented in widely used x - ray spectral fitting packages such as xspec, isis and sherpa. | We present an x - ray absorption model for the interstellar medium, to be referred to as ismabs, that takes into account both neutral and ionized species of cosmically abundant elements, and includes the most accurate atomic data available.

The Social Security Admin calculates a person's countable income/resources (gross income and resources less applicable exclusions) and then subtracts those amounts from the income/resource standards to figure out financial eligibility and the cash payment amount (if any). People with countable income/resources at/below the applicable standards qualify for SSI. The SSA sometimes reevaluates an SSI getter's situation (income, resources, living situation) to see if the person still can get SSI and is getting the right amount. Automatic redeterminations occur every 6 years, depending on how likely someone's circumstances change. | The Social Security Administration calculates a person's countable income and resources (i.e., gross income and resources less applicable exclusions) and then subtracts those amounts from the income and resource standards to determine financial eligibility and the amount of the cash payment (if any).

The SSA LAE account is mostly made up of funds that the SSA uses to run Social Security and SSI programs, while supporting CMS with Medicare stuff. There's also some money set aside specifucally for certain housekeeping functions like disability reviews (CDRs) and SSI nonmedical double-checks. In 2019, the omnibus gave the LAE over $12.9 billion dollars, just a little (+$2 million) more than they gave them in 2018. The President asked for them to shave about $482 million (-3.7%) from that LAE account in relation to 2018's numbers. The House committee bill would have cut LAE funding by $318 million (-2.5%), but the Seante passed a bill that would have given LAE even more money by $77 million (+0.6%) in relation to 2018's numbers. | The SSA LAE account consists mainly of funds that are used by SSA to administer the Social Security and SSI programs and to support CMS in administering portions of Medicare.

"Until he's no longer my partner, there's no other way." Now intuition has been a great service to many smart women, but it ain't an exact science. It can leave your jaw dropped how sometimes they can't find something right in front of them. Take Kate, her feminine wits didn't suddenly give her mind reading powers for the guy in front of her or how to take his words. They kinda made her hear the bad instead of anything else and now she's upset. | “No other way--while--he remains my partner.” Bright women discover many obscure things by the use of that marvellous faculty we call intuition, but they have by no means reduced its employment to an exact science. Sometimes their failure to discover more obvious things is equally remarkable. At this moment, for example, Kate’s feminine wits did not in the least help her to read the mind of the man before her, or the meaning in his words. In truth, they misled her, for she heard only an obstinate reiteration of an unpleasant statement, and set her teeth together with impatience as she heard it. | More formal | formality |

Europeans have split Morocco into States, or kingdoms, even though splitting areas like that doesn’t really happen in the administrations of the native prince. The old division that Leo was talking about was made up of two big provinces between Morocco and Fez, split by the river Bourgang that empties into the sea between Rabat and Salee; and, for sure, for a few centuries, these distracts were split and ruled by independent princes. Tafilett all the time, and Sous every now and then, were united to Morocco, while Fez made a powerful kingdom, reaching east all the way to the gates of Tlemsen. | Morocco has been divided into States, or kingdoms by Europeans, although such divisions scarcely exist in the administration of the native princes.

It's pretty cool to know that if you draw a line north and south from Memel on the shores of the Baltic to Spalato on the Adriatic, you'll divide Europe equally. On the western part of the line, you'll find countries of Celtic or Teutonic races. On the eastern part of the line, you'll find countries of Sclavonic origins, if you'll forget the little bit of influence from the Turanian races. There's a few left on the west part and unwelcome masses of them that take up a decent part of the eastward line that was drawn. | If a line were drawn north and south from Memel on the shores of the Baltic to Spalato on the Adriatic, it would divide Europe into nearly equal halves.

The steady-state structure of self-gravitating, deposit disks that are magnetized are studied using a set of self-similar solutions that are perfectly fine in the outer regions. We guess that this disk is isothermal and the magnetic field outside the disk is handled in a phenomenally scientific way. On the other hand, the internal field is figured to be self-consistent. How the solutions act is looked into by changing the model’s input boundaries. For example, mass accretion rate, coefficients of viscosity and resistivity, and the magnetic field configuration. | The steady - state structure of self - gravitating, magnetized accretion disks is studied using a set of self - similar solutions which are appropriate in the outer regions.

The charge goes to another place when a quantum pump is adiabatically driven by time, which depends on some outside forces to be present when dissipation is given by the line vital to a pumping field @xmath0. We’re giving a general example of @xmath0 in terms of quantum correlation functions figured to be certain external forces. So, there’s an advantage to our method. It changes the original time-dependent problem into a self-sufficient one. Another thing we’ve got going for ourselves is that the curl of @xmath0 gives immediate visual info about the geometric structures watching over dissipative quantum pumping. We can use this in a lot of experimental cases, counting electron pumps based on quantum dots and cooper-pair pumps based on superconducting devices. Using this on a cooper-pair sluice, we found a pretty interesting dissipation-induced enhancement of charge pumping, reversals of current, and emergence of asymmetries. This geometric method makes it to where we can reveal a lot of beneficial, dissipation-assisted operation protocols. | The charge transported when a quantum pump is adiabatically driven by time - dependent external forces in presence of dissipation is given by the line integral of a pumping field @xmath0.

A lot of modern frameworks tend to focus on the convention instead of the configuration.

Rod: As we discussed here are the bulletts that summarize what we heard from our consultants. Overall demand picture Believe it will be 2006 before the California market will get back to 2000/2001 demand levels 2002 demand down approximately 900 mmcf/d 2003 demand will be flat 2004 growth in demand will begin 2005-2006 return to 2001 demand levels Reasoning: 2001 was a dry year - the lack of hydro generation created an additional 600 mmcf/d demand for gas in California Anticipated generation capacity overbuild in California - new more efficient power plants with better heat rates will displace older gas fired generation, reducing the amount of gas required to generate a MW of electricity on the margin California electricity rate increases have curtailed demand for power and subsequently, gas Gas transmission capacity into the state Over the next two to three years there will be an additional 2.0 Bcf/d of transmission capacity into California 800 mmcf/d in 2002 900 mmcf/d in 2003 (Kern River expansion) 300 mmcf/d (El Paso conversion of All American oil line and power up) San Juan basin gas San Juan basin production is declining first half of 2001 vs. first half of 2000 production off by approximately 200 mmcf/d Rockies gas will not replace declining production in the San Juan San Juan gas will move closer to Permian pricing The consultants believe that the combination of these factors will put decontracting pressure on existing transmission into the state of California, and especially the El Paso and Transwestern lines. However, the "wild card" in their view is unforeseen California power demand growth. As we discussed, JPMorgan would like to hear your views on the above issues. Please give me a call when you have had sufficient time to digest and we can set up a conference call to make the most efficient use of your time. Thanks Rod Brent Also, when you have had a chance to look at sales gas volume growth please e-mail the volume numbers to me...thanks | Dear Rod, as previously deliberated, I am providing the bullet points that compiles what our consultants stated. Primarily, the demand is pictured to lead us to believe that it will be 2006 before California’s market will restore itself to 2000 and 2001’s levels. 2002’s demand is down at approximately 900 mmcf/d. 2003 demand will level out. Growth in demand will start to occur in 2004. Finally, 2005-2006 will be when the demand will return to 2001’s standards. This is because there was a drought during 2001, and the lack of hydro generation produced an additional 600 mmcf/d demand for fuel in California. An anticipated generation capacity overbuild in California. State of the art, more streamlined power plants with better torridity rates will expel more mature fuel fired generation. This reduces the quantity of fuel required to generate a MW of energy on the fringe of California energy rate expansions have reduced demand for power and thereupon, fuel transference volume into the state. Throughout the next two or three years, there will be a supplementary 2.0 Bcf/d of transference volume into California 800 mmcf/d in 2002 900 mmcf/d in 2003 (Kern River expansion) 300 mmcf/d (El Paso conversion of All American oil line and power up). San Juan Basin manufacturing was reduced during the first six months of 2001 versus the first six months of 2000 manufacturing, inaccurate by an estimated 200 mmcf/d. Rockies fuel will not take the place of reducing manufacturing in San Juan. San Juan fuel will approach Permian pricing. The consultants are of the opinion that the amalgamation of these aspects will persuade decontracting on current transference into the state of California, and principally the El Paso and Transwestern lines. Though, according to them, the unpredictable factor is the unsought power demand growth for California. As previously deliberated, JP Morgan is anticipating your opinions on these matters. Please contact me through telephone when you feel that you have analyzed this thoroughly and we can initiate a telephone conference in order to use your time to the wisest extent. Thank you Rod Brent. Also, when you have had the opportunity to analyze sales gas volume growth, please electronically mail the volume statistics to me.

Rick: As a follow up to our discussion on headcount reduction, as you know, there are several important fiduciary functions that the Portfolio group performs related to the existing asset portfolio that should be performed until the assets are sold: Review and audit of contractually required fundings for capital and operating expenditures (we usually recover $$$)) Maintenance of compliance system to ensure compliance with reporting requirements and transaction covenants Maintenance of the PortRAC system that is used for asset management, data rooms and Board reporting Post transaction reviews as directed by Management and the Board In addition to our obligation to management and shareholders, JEDI II and CalPERS look to RAC to make sure that the Commercial Teams are maximizing value. In my opinion, some staff should be maintained to perform these functions or value and the ability to sell these assets will be compromised. I am available to discuss at your convenience. | Salutations Rick, This email explores further our previous discussion on headcount reduction. There are several vital fiduciary functions that the Portfolio group performs in regards to the existing asset portfolio. These functions should be performed until the assets are sold. Review and audit of contractually required funding for capital and operating expenditures is a one of the functions. We have a high chance of recovering money during this time. Another function is Maintenance, which maintains the compliance system to ensure compliance with reporting requirements and transaction covenants. Maintenance of the PortRAC system is another function. This system is an important step for asset management, data rooms, and Board reporting post transaction reviews. These reviews are directed by Management and the Board. Besides our obligation to management and shareholders, JEDI II and CalPERS examine RAC to ensure that the Commercial Teams are maximizing value. Therefore, I propose that some staff should be maintained to perform these aforementioned functions or the value of the assets, along with the ability to sell, may become compromised. I am free to engage in discourse concerning this matter at your earliest convenience | Could you make this more formal? | formality |
We looked at the c8 flare that happened on 9/26/2000 at 19:49 UT, which was watched by the soho/sumer spectrometer from beginning to end. The emission first started decaying through the equilibrium states, one-by-one until the plasma hit 2-3mk. A set of cooler lines then appeared in the temperature range @xmath0 under the equilibrium conditions. Those lines all appeared and and grew in the same ways. This shows us how emissions can form at the same time with different initial temperatures, due to the heat variables which happen when the flaring plasma cools to less than @xmath1mk. Using this knowledge, we can accurately place the start times of each light curve line with a model of a single flaring loop. This helps us model the light curves much more accurately and predict slower growth of line emissions, assuming that the model loop is actually a bunch of subloops heated at slightly different times. All of this will be good to know when studying future flares with sdo/eve. | In the present work we study the c8 flare occurred on september 26, 2000 at 19:49 ut and observed by the soho / sumer spectrometer from the beginning of the impulsive phase to well beyond the disappearance in the x - rays. The emission first decayed progressively through equilibrium states until the plasma reached 2 - 3 mk. Then, a series of cooler lines, i.e.,,, and ( formed in the temperature range @xmath0 under equilibrium conditions ), are emitted at the same time and all evolve in a similar way. Here we show that the simultaneous emission of lines with such a different formation temperature is due to thermal instability occurring in the flaring plasma as soon as it has cooled below @xmath1 mk. We can qualitatively reproduce the relative start time of the light curves of each line in the correct order with a simple ( and standard ) model of a single flaring loop. The agreement with the observed light curves is greatly improved, and a slower evolution of the line emission is predicted, if we assume that the model loop consists of an ensemble of subloops or strands heated at slightly different times. Our analysis can be useful for flare observations with sdo / eve. | Make this more formal | formality |

The observations of jet breaks in afterglows of short gamma-ray bursts (sgrbs) indicate the jet has a small opening angle of @xmath0. The collimation mech of the jet is a longstanding problem, in theory. We numerically analyze the jet propagation in the material ejected double neutron star merger, and demonstrate if the ejecta mass is @xmath1, the jet is well confined by the cocoon and comes out from the ejecta with the require collimation angle. Our results suggest there are some populations of choked (failed) sgrbs or low-luminous new forms of event. By building a model for sgrb 130603b, which is linked w/ the 1st kilonova/macronova candidate, we infer the equation-of-state of neutron stars would be soft enough to give sufficient ejecta to collimate the jet, if this was linked with a double neutron star merger. | The observations of jet breaks in the afterglows of short gamma - ray bursts ( sgrbs ) indicate that the jet has a small opening angle of @xmath0.

We’ve put two symmetrically placed nonlinear sites together with discrete systems in the form of straight (inifinite), ring-shaped chains. The systems we’re talking about can be put in nonlinear optics (as waveguiding arrays) and bec (by using an optical lattice). A whole set of on the money analytical solutions for symmetric, asymmetric, and antisymmetric localized modes is found, and just how stable they are is looked into in a numeric way. The balance - breaking bifurcation ( sbb ) where the asymmetric modes come from the symmetric ones, is thought to be the subcritical type. It’s turned into a supercritical bifurcation if the nonlinearity is localized in fairly wide domains around two central sites, and also in the ring of a small size, i.e., in a nonlocal place pretty much. The family of antisymmetric modes doesn’t endure bifurcations and has both stable and unstable portions. Just how unstable localized modes comes about is looked into by straight mockups. Unstable asymmetric states that exist in the case of the subcritical bifurcation bring about breathers oscillating between the nonlinear sites, so they bring back a good dynamical symmetry between them. | We introduce discrete systems in the form of straight ( infinite ) and ring - shaped chains, with two symmetrically placed nonlinear sites. The systems can be implemented in nonlinear optics ( as waveguiding arrays ) and bec ( by means of an optical lattice ). A full set of exact analytical solutions for symmetric, asymmetric, and antisymmetric localized modes is found, and their stability is investigated in a numerical form. The symmetry - breaking bifurcation ( sbb ), through which the asymmetric modes emerge from the symmetric ones, is found to be of the subcritical type. It is transformed into a supercritical bifurcation if the nonlinearity is localized in relatively broad domains around two central sites, and also in the ring of a small size, i.e., in effectively nonlocal settings. The family of antisymmetric modes does not undergo bifurcations, and features both stable and unstable portions. The evolution of unstable localized modes is investigated by means of direct simulations. In particular, unstable asymmetric states, which exist in the case of the subcritical bifurcation, give rise to breathers oscillating between the nonlinear sites, thus restoring an effective dynamical symmetry between them. | rephrase it to be less informal? | formality |

The U.S. cattle inventory shrank down to 8% because of high feed and forage prices and widespread drought in the Southern Plains during 2007-2014.

Even though there were hurdles from time to time, a lengthy history of good U.S.-Ghanaian communications infer that two-sided unity having to do with growth, exchange, and safety is probably going to keep going. President Akufo-Addo's announced mission of lowering and overall stopping Ghana's need for overseas assistance, and his support of private-sector-led growth designs, are probably going to be taken well by most U.S. lawmakers. His explained idea of financial self-reliance may ring true to people, specifically, with the Trump Administration, given President Trump's dispute that rulers of all countries should think of their own nations' financial interests first. If Ghana can start to be more self-sufficient and boost its financial efficiency and exchange cap, branch out its economy, and lower poorness, it could also start to be a more important U.S. exchange ally. | Despite periodic challenges, a long history of positive U.S.-Ghanaian relations suggests that bilateral cooperation relating to development, trade, and security is likely to endure. President Akufo-Addo's stated goal of decreasing and ultimately ending Ghana's need for foreign aid, and his embrace of private-sector-led growth models, are likely to be received positively by most U.S. policymakers. His message of economic self-reliance may resonate, in particular, with the Trump Administration, given President Trump's contention that leaders of all countries should prioritize their own nations' economic interests.

Financial institutions can also give other sorts of help to consumers, like new credit or loan products that help customers with loan payments, medical bills, or other expenses during the pandemic. That's why financial regulators have encouraged financial institutions to offer small-dollar loans to affected consumers. However, these institutions usually only extend new credit if they believe the borrower will be able to pay it back in the future, and there may be a lot of uncertainty about this during the pandemic.

Aid from reimbursement duties under federal student lending plans have been accessible to instructors since before the HEA was passed. The National Defense Education Act of 1958 (NDEA, P.L. 85-864) has a lending pardon part of the National Defense Student Loan (NDSL) plan that was meant to hike up the amount and caliber of instructors in U.S. schools. The NDSL plan was put into the HEA because of the Education Amendments of 1972 (P.L. 92-318) and had its name changed later as the Federal Perkins Lending Plan by changes made through the Higher Education Amendments of 1986 ( P.L. 99-498 ). Under present HEA rules, eligible instructors may get reimbursement from up to 100% of their Perkins Lend amount, depending on how many years they’ve worked; but new Perkins Lends are not being made any more. | Relief from repayment obligations under federal student loan programs has been available to teachers since before enactment of the HEA.
