Abstract: System and method embodiments are provided for signaling reference signals and Channel State Information (CSI) feedback for wireless communications. An embodiment method implemented by a user equipment (UE) for wireless communications measurements and CSI feedback includes receiving, from a network, at least one of a first index that indicates a corresponding non-zero-power CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource, a second index that indicates a corresponding zero-power CSI-RS resource, a third index that indicates a corresponding CSI-RS resource for interference measurement, and a fourth index that indicates a corresponding channel quality indicator (CQI) report configuration. The method also includes receiving, from the network, at least one of a fifth index that indicates a corresponding periodic CQI report in accordance with the CQI report configuration indicated by the fourth index, and a sixth index that indicates a corresponding aperiodic CQI report in accordance with the CQI report configuration indicated by the fourth index.

This bench by HomeMade Modern uses pipe pieces in a more modern way than simply attaching pipes and flanges as straight legs. The video shows a bit more about the assembly of the piece, along with how pipe clamps can be used to secure the wood to the pipes.

This list of Black and African-American inventors have certainly earned their place in history. Let’s take a look at the legacy of these inventors.

"Och denies the Atavoks, Dee," Em looked up briefly. "Atavok Dependency, Entanglement Theory, everything. He has moved on."

As for electricians, their limited experience in wiring a fully automated cannabis greenhouse was painful. My environmental control module was wired incorrectly at install and caused half my lights and blackout curtains to open at odd times of the day and night—not ideal for our short-day plants. When the electricians admitted no fault, I acquired a more experienced outfit. In fact, three electricians tried their hands at control room wiring before it worked as intended. TIP: All of this underscored the importance of contracts, liabilities and warranties. TIP: Know who is fixing the problem when it undoubtedly occurs, and expect problems to happen at the worst possible times. TIP: Quality equipment and quality subcontractors are essential in the long run. It’s sadly common to hear stories of construction blunders leaving a once-optimistic entrepreneur on his heels as weeks turn to months of delayed harvests.

Most striking in the Malleus Maleficarum, Demos notes, is “the flat-out, unblinking misogyny in which the entire work is drenched.” Women are described as feebler in mind, more prone to deceit and vanity, and with a well-known “carnal lust” that “is insatiable.” She is, according to Christianity, defective from the beginning, and the Malleus invoked authorities like Ecclesiastes, Cicero, and Seneca to synthesize misogyny from across the European intellectual tradition and crystallize that fear into the figure of the witch.

For when the Devil was not around, witches were thought to turn to the broomstick, which was seen as a metaphorical or actual dildo. When Lady Alice Kyteler was accused of witchcraft in Ireland in 1324, she was convicted after inquisitors found a “a pipe of oyntment, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin.” A witches’ flying ointment, with which she supposedly greased her broomstick before taking flight, was possibly a hallucinogenic lubricant made from psychoactive plants (today you can buy some on Etsy), or at least, a highly suggestive metaphor.

For DuVernay, putting black, brown, and Asian people onscreen is essential—but so is challenging the systems that led to their exclusion. She does this in her choice of subjects: Her Oscar-nominated documentary 13th traces a line from slavery to the mass incarceration of black men; her film Selma, while in Hollywood terms a Martin Luther King Jr. biopic, was also a critique of the laws and social structures that deprived black Southerners of their voting rights. Her challenge to Hollywood systems is also borne out in the way she runs her projects. Only women direct her TV series, Queen Sugar. Array, the collective she founded in 2010, helps female filmmakers and filmmakers of color get their movies distributed. “Ava doesn’t just talk inclusion,” Winfrey says. “She lives it.”
