Two external invasions disrupted these arrangements—the Crusaders from Europe and the Mongols. Both forces originated from distant regions and showed no regard for Islamic civilization or the concept of the caliphate, driven instead by ambitions of territorial expansion. The Europeans, referred to by Arabs as Faranj, derived from “Franks,” arrived in the eastern Mediterranean in the late eleventh century and seized Jerusalem along with areas they considered the “Holy Land.” | AI |
I’m here now because he stopped therapy a few months ago due to financial reasons. He had made significant progress, and we were working on repairing our relationship. Recently, I discovered he’s been viewing porn on his outdated, barely functional desktop in our spare room. Despite being caught multiple times before, he hasn’t changed his behavior. I’ve made it clear that if he doesn’t stop, I’ll leave him when our lease ends in a few months. | AI |
So back before christmas we briefly talked about my feelings for a girl that I was crushing on, I used purely hypotheticals to get her honest response on what she thought I should do in my current situation (being in a relationship but crushing on another girl). Her opinion was that I should tell this person my feelings for them as it's a far better approach to the situation and to see how it goes perhaps she will reciprocate these feelings. Anyway, immediately after that conversation I turn around in all of a cliché and say what if it was you I was talking about. Which was ofcourse met with alot of confusion and misunderstanding. So I communicated to her that I had alot of feelings for her and have had for a while now and I cant seem to shake them as they keep coming back. | HUMAN |
I left there the next morning about six o'clock, went to my room and changed my clothing, and started for my breakfast. Then I went to the office and worked all day, until about six o'clock that evening. Then I went to my room, and was so lame I could not get out again until the following Tuesday morning, five days after, not even being able, in the meantime, to sit in a chair. I still feel the effects of the clubbing. The blow on the small of my back made my left limb almost paralyzed. | HUMAN |
They will teach you to disdain opinion (common sense) in spite of the fact that common sense assumptions are the only basis for ordinary human affairs and they are sufficient to judge the course of future events. Instead of common sense opinions, they will make you chase after a phantom which they call true and precise knowledge, as distinct from mere opinion. Even if they could reach their ideal of precise and exact knowledge – it would be a knowledge of things entirely useless. Do not be deceived by their extravagant notions of goodness and justice or their opposites. These are just ordinary human notions not so very difficult to understand, and you need them only to help you to meet out rewards and punishments. | HUMAN |
Thirdly, the derogation for individual Member States remains in place. While this is a setback, it is manageable, and I believe we will move past it over time. I also appreciate the support in establishing—or reestablishing—a key principle: that public services can, under specific and justified circumstances, be given priority, provided this does not disrupt the most critical aspect of traffic, which is commercial freight. Shifting freight from road to rail is a primary goal. Additionally, we have ensured that the duration of framework agreements for railway infrastructure use is set to allow railway investments to yield returns and be implemented effectively. | AI |
I know from our last debate on this issue that this is a matter of ongoing and profound concern to many Members of this Parliament. We therefore urge Iran to strengthen respect for human rights and the rule of law. It is disappointing that the EU-Iran human rights dialogue has not been held since June 2004, despite repeated attempts – I can assure you – on the European Union’s part to agree dates for the next round. It is important that Iran take steps to resume substantive discussions under the dialogue. | HUMAN |
After a layout change, objects with noticeable features are easier to locate. The model's predictions align closely with the observed data, except during the initial learning phase of the NYT dataset. As previously noted, the model does not account for the difficulties participants faced during their first trials in a layout with high information density. Cue-based R2 and RMSE values, detailed in the Appendix (Table 4), generally indicate a strong fit. However, at this level of granularity, some noise is present in the observations, as a specific cue at a particular trial time bin may only reflect results from one or two participants due to cue randomization. | AI |
Some of the more limited roles seem to be filled by lesser talent, but it hardly shows. The downside to B R O K E N is that it's only 20 minutes long. The story ends with a Twilight Zone twist that seems a bit contrived and is hardly subtle. Watching it, I felt like I was supposed to have some epiphany, but there was only a feeling that it was much more mundane than I had hoped it would be. The film tries hard to be one of those puzzles that leaves audiences talking for hours at the local coffee shop, but it comes off as unsatisfying. | HUMAN |
In a referendum in 2010 on whether the borough should have an elected mayor, Town Hall staff said ‘half the signatures appeared to have been forged,’ the court heard. Labour dropped Rahman as its mayoral candidate after deciding he was a stooge for the Islamic Forum for Europe, a ‘secret society’ which wants to create a sharia state. Rahman stood as an independent and won the 2010 mayoral election. He sacked the council’s chief executive and assumed his powers. The court heard he personally made ‘all the decisions’ and demanded to see lists of organisations shortlisted for council grants, vetoing many. | HUMAN |
I’ve played a worgen since Cataclysm launched and can’t imagine switching to anything else. That said, their size and appearance on mounts—particularly my favorite, the Headless Horseman’s Mount—always felt a bit awkward to me. To address this, I’ve made it a habit to shift to human form outside of combat for a more fitting look. However, since the latest patch, my character’s appearance has changed slightly (not necessarily worse, just different and unfamiliar), which has made me want to stay in worgen form more often. Still, the issue with mounts remains. | AI |
I recently watched a movie on HBO, and it was quite compelling—a tragic love story. What stood out to me was the portrayal of the main character, who had lost the use of his legs in an accident. It’s uncommon to see a love story centered around someone with a physical disability. The relationship that developed between him and the woman who entered his life was thoughtfully depicted, showing how love can potentially mend emotional wounds. Laura Leighton, who was 27 at the time, delivered a strong performance as the vibrant woman who helps revive the protagonist’s spirit. | AI |
Environmental agencies fear harmful effects – especially due to arsenic – on the Huasco valley, in which 70 000 smallholders cultivate crops using irrigation. Environmental groups and the inhabitants of the region have protested against this, but the Chilean Government’s regrettable response to them has been to give the go-ahead for the mining to commence. In doing so, it knowingly accepts that the ecological balance of the region will be destroyed. I therefore call upon the Commission to give its attention to this problematic project and to submit proposals as to how its abandonment might be brought about. | HUMAN |
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the transition from the GATT era to that of the WTO changed the dimension as well as the nature of the multilateral trading system. With the advent of the WTO, trade rules were extended to a large number of new areas, including services, intellectual property, investment and rules on non-tariff barriers, that frequently affect non-trade issues. These rules have a binding force, which is backed by a dispute settlement system with the capacity to impose sanctions. Finally, enlargement, which begun under GATT, has resulted in an unprecedented diversity among its members with regard to international trade. The rules of the multilateral trading system now apply not only to the countries that account for most of world trade or only to the one-fifth of world production that is traded across borders. | HUMAN |
Understanding the risks and ignoring the risks are two entirely different things... The current law basically says that anyone without $1 million and $200k in the bank is too stupid to invest in a startup but someone with that money is smart enough to. If they don't have to make those disclosures to people with lots of money now, why should they have to make them if they're crowdfunded (where people actually stand to lose less because the risk is spread over a larger pool)? I could see an argument for making those disclosures even with the system as it is now, but that argument is something entirely separate from the crowdfunding argument. | HUMAN |
To move forward, let us set aside Homer's ancient status and his position as one of the earliest authors, excluding a few Hebrew writers whose divine inspiration places them beyond ordinary comparison. What intrinsic value does Homer hold when stripped of the prestige and historical context that surrounds him? How much does the core of his work, devoid of the grandeur of antiquity, truly offer to justify the effort of learning Greek? Opinions vary widely on what constitutes fair compensation for such labor. In Shakespeare, a professional fool logically concludes that "remuneration" means a testern, or sixpence, and thus two remunerations amount to a shilling. Yet, some might consider even a thousand pounds insufficient payment for the same effort. Similarly, the rewards of learning a language are subject to individual judgment. | AI |
The Epic form, which we now consider, is generally understood to involve recitation or narration. Bossu notes that the characters should not be presented directly to the audience as if acting independently without the poet’s involvement. However, this does not prevent the poet from having characters tell their own stories or having one character recount the deeds of the main hero. In this way, much of Epic poetry shares a dramatic quality. Virgil employs this technique in his second and third books, using his hero, Aeneas, to narrate the events of the Trojan War and his own actions to Dido. This approach, though it leads to the hero praising himself with the phrase "sum pius Aeneas," remains a key feature of the Epic structure. | AI |
In the early 2000s, the provincial government announced funding for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, which opened in 2005. This school, a joint faculty of Laurentian and Lakehead universities, has a special research focus on rural medicine. In 2011, Laurentian University was granted a charter to launch the McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury, and Lakehead University was granted approval to launch the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law in Thunder Bay. As with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, each was the first school of its type ever established in the region, as well as the first new school of its type launched in Ontario since the 1960s. | HUMAN |
I question how she manages to focus, or if she even can. Yet she persists, or at least appears to, possibly viewing it as a form of resistance. The cameramen grow more audacious, moving freely through the church and filming others up close. Ismail expresses his reluctance to appear on the evening news and informs me he will wait outside. I take my seat again and observe the conclusion of communion, which feels strangely out of place amid the chaotic filming. | AI |
In theory as long as the reduction remains provisional, it has tremendous explanatory power. In practice, it far too often becomes a de facto metaphysic, unwarranted and unproven within its own assumptions. There are plenty of critics of this tendency in the last hundred years, but mostly they have been ignored: Husserl, Bergson are two of the most prominent. A more obscure student of both Husserl and Heidegger, Hans Jonas, has been extremely helpful to me personally, particularly his Phenomenon of Life, as a rigorous critique of reductionism that retains a high view of science on the one hand and doesn't founder and wander off into religious/atheistic debates on the other. | HUMAN |
I would like to bring to the attention of the President and Parliament the situation in Italy, where Emma Bonino, a fellow Member of the European Parliament, along with other MEPs, is participating in a hunger and thirst strike to advocate for fair media coverage during the electoral campaign. Among those supporting this effort is Luca Coscioni, a disabled individual who is also refusing painkillers to draw the attention of the President of the Republic. Given the challenges surrounding the Italian election campaign, it would be appropriate for the European Parliament to establish an observatory to monitor the elections and assess whether equal access to information is being ensured for all parties involved. | AI |
When Colonel Weed delivers the eulogy, referencing the Rudyard Kipling poem that loosely inspired the film, does it hint at the folly of imperialism, acknowledging the irony of one who proved "a better man than I am"? How did viewers interpret the Guru’s powerful speech, delivered in precise English: "You have sworn an oath as soldiers to potentially die for your faith, which is your country, England. I, too, can die for my country and my faith just as readily...India, farewell." Yet, the same character also commands his followers with chilling brutality: "Kill for the love of killing!" | AI |
I was returning from a camping trip with a bottle of Adderall, prescribed to someone else, that I had been given. While driving, I took a turn too quickly after a brief rainstorm of about five to ten minutes. My car hydroplaned, causing the rear to swing out, and the vehicle rolled over, sliding on its roof. The first passerby called the police, who arrived and immediately asked, “How much marijuana is in your car?” They then added, “I’m going to search your vehicle thoroughly, so you should tell me now what you have.” | AI |

During his November 2007 VA examination, the Veteran reported flare-ups two to three times a year with severe pain. Use of crutches, braces, a cane, or corrective shoes were denied The Veteran also denied weakness, heat, redness, instability, giving way, "locking," fatigability, lack of endurance, and episodes of dislocation or recurrent subluxation. During his October 1, 2009, DRO hearing, the Veteran reported his right knee symptoms to consist of pain, swelling, stiffness and locking, and giving way two to three times a month. He reported pain brought on by prolonger standing working as a cook, and problems ascending and descending stairs. The Veteran also reported use of a knee brace to alleviate swelling. | HUMAN |
Believing in a cause is important, but it is not sufficient on its own—action is necessary to bring about meaningful change. When considering social, political, or economic issues, your goal is to create an outline for a speech that can be delivered to a live audience or shared on a social media platform. Choose a topic that matters to you, and use the outline as a guide to ensure your delivery feels natural and engaging. Speaking from an outline, rather than a fully written script, helps maintain a conversational tone, making it less likely that your audience will feel like you are simply reading to them. | AI |
The project’s primary aim was to create a process enabling utility teams to adaptively and reflexively examine and refine their policies and practices. The privatization of English and Welsh water authorities in 1989, the final and least favored of Mrs. Thatcher’s utility privatizations during her tenure as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, was driven by the perceived inability of the public sector to invest in infrastructure improvements (Bakker, 2003a). The resulting water companies operate as private regional monopolies in the domestic market, owning the infrastructure but not the water itself, while holding licenses to provide water and sewerage services. Competition among these companies is facilitated through a five-year ‘price review’ process, where Ofwat, the economic regulator, evaluates their investment and pricing plans (Ofwat, 2017c). | AI |

The progress of a nation can be measured by its construction. Under current conditions, new building projects are limited. Aside from a few obligatory garden-cities, designed to accommodate a small number of privileged households and likely to remain incomplete, development will focus on expanding existing neighborhoods and repurposing older structures for decades to come. Former palaces, now overcrowded with families, will sit alongside vegetable gardens, while abandoned warehouses will dot declining urban areas. In suburban streets, trees will be cut down, and in cities, grass will push through the cracks in the pavement. | AI |
Disney has produced numerous straight-to-video sequels for many of their animated films, including two for their 1991 classic, *Beauty and the Beast*. These films are not traditional sequels, as they are set during the timeline of the original movie. The first, *Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas*, has received mixed reactions from fans of the original, which is common for follow-up projects. However, the second film, *Belle's Magical World*, is widely regarded as a weaker effort. | AI |
The selection of an analytical method determines the specific index used to measure BBB permeability, with several options available (Panel 6 in Fig. 1). It is worth noting that permeability measurements may be inaccurate if the substance is actively transported, metabolized, or secreted by the BBB. Additionally, experimental conditions can influence results, such as increased systemic or CNS production of an endogenous substance used to study BBB function, or reduced systemic clearance, which may introduce confounding effects. While systemic inflammation is often described as affecting "BBB permeability," this term can be misleading, as permeability typically refers to the diffusibility of substances across the BBB, whereas BBB transport mechanisms involve more than just diffusion. | AI |
The issue was entirely missing from the Nice Summit. National governments bear responsibility for this, and I am not singling out any specific government or the French Presidency more than others, as this is neither the time nor the place for such criticism. Mr. Barón Crespo correctly pointed out that the intergovernmental method must be scrutinized. Governments are accountable for their image in both national and international public opinion and should manage it accordingly. While this expectation is reasonable, they often neglect their image in the context of international public opinion. | AI |
The defence of Christianity in this poem reminds one very strongly of the theology of Schleiermacher, a résumé of which the poet might have found in Strauss's "Life of Jesus." Although Schleiermacher accepted and even went beyond the negative criticism of the rationalists against the doctrines of the Church, he sought to retain the essential aspects of positive Christianity. He starts out from the consciousness of the Christian, "from that internal experience resulting to the individual from his connection with the Christian community, and he thus obtains a material which, as its basis of feeling, is more flexible and to which it is easier to give dialectically a form that satisfies science." | HUMAN |
We haven't met yet - I joined Market Risk Management working for Ted Murphy about a month ago, focusing on the Risk Management Policy. One item I'm working on is documentation of the Head Traders and Authorized Traders. It seems after the organizational anouncement last week that you are the top management and focal point for all of the trading activities in Enron Wholesale Services. As such, would you please review the draft memo below (also attached) and confirm whether this appropriately documents your wishes as far as designation of Head Traders for each commodity group authorized in the policy? We'd like to get Skilling/Buy to sign this top level of trading authority delegation. | HUMAN |
CO2 is not simply a waste product of respiration, just as oxygen is not merely a waste product of photosynthesis. Both are byproducts of essential processes that contribute to further reactions. Photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to produce carbohydrates in chloroplasts, while aerobic cellular respiration releases this stored energy by breaking down carbohydrates with oxygen. Both processes rely on electron transport chains to generate the energy needed for other reactions. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration form a biological cycle, enabling organisms to harness energy that originates from the sun, located millions of miles away. | AI |
As previously mentioned, this observation may be partly attributed to MDA levels being affected by dietary factors, such as a high-fat diet [56]. Studies have demonstrated that animals fed diets rich in fats and oils exhibit increased lipid peroxidation, as indicated by higher blood MDA concentrations [57]. Beyond endogenous lipid peroxidation, MDA content in food rises significantly after processes like deep-frying [58], due to the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and ingested MDA can be absorbed and later excreted [59]. Considering these findings, the lower urinary MDA concentration in MV patients might result from their modified enteral feeding regimen, which excludes fried foods and, consequently, MDA. | AI |
While neither of the cases above cited are exactly parallel to the case at bar, and, while a slight difference exists between the language of the statute there considered and that now under consideration, it is not believed that such differences are so radical as to permit any distinction to be made in the principle involved ; and if we were to rely upon precedent only, we might well stop here and reverse the decree rendered in this case, but the precedent is supported by authority as well as by other considerations which we shall presently mention. In Fox v. City of Seattle, 43 Wash. 74 (86 Pac. 379, 117 Am. St. Rep. 1037), the question arose upon the validity of an election held to authorize an indebtedness beyond a certain limit.

Bill Roorbach, in *The New York Times*, described *The Luminaries* as an engaging experience, likening it to solving a Charlotte Brontë-themed crossword puzzle while simultaneously playing chess and Dance Dance Revolution on a Bongo Board. Booker judge Stuart Kelly noted that the book felt more like a New Zealand version of *Twin Peaks* than any conventional novel. Julian Novitz, in the *Sydney Review of Books*, observed that the novel not only takes place in the 19th century but also seems to emulate the style and structure of Victorian literature, with its expansive scope and length. He concluded that while the novel can be appreciated on multiple levels, it ultimately forms a cohesive and unified work. Jonathan Barnes, in *Literary Review*, praised Catton’s ability to breathe new life into the Victorian novel while subtly questioning its underlying assumptions and techniques. | AI |
Suzanne Larkin returns to Crosby, where her childhood home recently burned down with her father having died in the process. Suzanne finds a platonic consolation through conversations with her father's lawyer, Bernie. Bernie's compassion and empathy make a grieving Suzanne feel "as though huge windows above her had been smashed—the way the firemen must have smashed the windows of her childhood home— and now, here above her and around her, was the whole wide world right there, available to her once again." Bernie feels a similar connection to Suzanne, and is astonished by her "uncorrupted" nature. | HUMAN |
Propagators have often overlooked the importance of considering the type, origin, and quality of seeds used for raising stock. The primary focus in seed selection has typically been to maximize the number of nuts per pound, which has led to the use of inferior seedlings lacking strength and vitality. This practice likely explains the noticeable variation in size and vigor observed in budded or grafted nursery stocks or young pecan orchards. While no definitive explanation has been provided, the use of inconsistent or mixed seed lots for stock purposes appears to be a significant contributing factor. | AI |
Dr. Perry Inhofe, son of Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, died in a plane crash on Sunday. The incident occurred when the Mitsubishi MU-2B-25 twin turboprop aircraft he was piloting crashed in a wooded area approximately five miles from Tulsa International Airport. Dr. Inhofe, an orthopedic surgeon based in Tulsa, was the sole fatality in the crash, which took place at 3:40 p.m. According to flight tracking data, the plane had departed from Salina, Kansas, and was scheduled to land in Tulsa after a 45-minute flight. Authorities, including Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman George Brown, confirmed the details of the incident. | AI |
They took control of this one as Lennon and Starrs contract closers didn't sell as well as they should have and McCartneys would come later. The rot between EMI and Harrison set in with the fallout over the pioneering appeal for the former East Pakistan (taxes were part of it as this kind of thing was unheard of before in those days). This has not been reissued since the early '90s as these appear on other available collections and studio albums anyway and some people have said that compilations aren't their cup of tea and this may be one reason why as this one was all but done behind Harrisons back but fans will get it nonetheless. | HUMAN |
I watched it two nights ago and was struck by the scale, flying sequences, rocket launches, space scenes, and overall authenticity. This is something I rarely feel about films that are nearly two decades old. Compared to Apollo 13, which it inevitably draws parallels with, this film feels far more substantial. Apollo 13, in contrast, often relies on dramatic pauses and heightened shouting to convey emotion, which feels less organic. The screenplay could have easily been adapted from Andrew Chaiken's book on the Apollo missions, as it includes the same level of detail and accuracy. | AI |
Around the same time, a letter from Horace arrived, colder in tone than any she had received from him before. This prompted her to reflect carefully on what might have caused his apparent distance. She wondered if Lord Hurdly’s accusation of Horace being capricious held any truth. Could it be, she thought, that his feelings for her had faded, leading him to realize—as she herself had—that their hasty engagement had been a mistake? | AI |
In addition to government institutions, several regional and international organizations set up agencies to promote gender equality. The oldest regional agency of this type is the Inter-American Commission of Women, a specialized unit of the Organization of American States, which was established in 1928 as a forum for generating policy to advance women’s civil and political rights in the Western Hemisphere. More recent is the European Institute for Gender Equality, established in 2006 to assist European Union institutions and member states in promoting gender equality through public policy. | HUMAN |

Wiltshire officers requested personal details from at least three newsagents. The police force later apologized after acknowledging that an officer had recorded the names of four individuals in Corsham who purchased a magazine featuring a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed on its cover. Earlier in the week, David Jones, 63, was informed by his local shop in Beddau, Pontypridd, that an officer had asked for his name after he bought a copy of the magazine for his 21-year-old son, a university student studying French. Jones expressed his surprise at the intrusion, questioning the police's authority to monitor what he and others were reading. He suggested that the police's time would be better spent addressing more pressing threats, such as individuals who pose a danger to public safety. | AI |
PCPs come in a range of formats (e.g. liquids, bars, aerosols, powders) and typically contain a wide range of chemicals, each fulfilling a specific function within the product. For example, a shampoo can include cleansing agents (surfactants), chemicals to ensure product stability (e.g. preservatives, pH adjusters, viscosity controlling agents), diluent (e.g. water), perfuming chemicals (fragrances), and chemicals to influence the product's appearance (e.g. colourants, pearlescers, opacifiers). The chemicals present in PCPs ultimately enter the environment either through air during direct use, such as the propellants in aerosols, or through wastewater via down the drain disposal following product use (e.g. shower products, toothpaste). The release of PCP chemicals into the environment needs to be monitored and the safety of these chemicals understood in order to avoid potential problems. In developed countries, the use of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is key to effectively removing the PCP chemicals and other pollutants from wastewater prior to their release to rivers and other watercourses. | HUMAN |
Only those who have an unblemished criminal record are allowed to work with children. If, for example, forced marriages are now being prosecuted in Liechtenstein, even without the consent of the victim, and it is possible to take legal action in the case of genital mutilation performed on a minor, this clearly shows the potential danger of the much lauded multicultural enrichment. In my opinion, it is important to take this development in the EU into consideration, as well as its significance in the fight against human trafficking. | HUMAN |
These indicate the ’end’ of the branch of stick-slipping drops as found in time simulations for selected L. Note, however, that the transition at the thin blue dotted line involves some hysteresis, at least outside the steadyridge region, where simulations indicate some overlap between regions of stable stick-slip ridges and stick-slip drops. The extent of this hysteresis region remains unknown. At large µ one encounters a region of stable rivulets. This region does not intersect the other stability regions (note the ’broken’ y-axis in Fig. 26). | HUMAN |
In this study, 50 g of moist biomass was introduced into the reactor as a batch and this means that the heat recovered from the combustion of wood biomass is only used for drying the biomass due to the high amount of moisture in the sample. Thus, there would be need for fuel re-ignition if new set of samples were to be introduced. In ideal systems, this process will require an automated and controlled feed-in system and rig design that would allow sufficient time for the fuel to dry and progressive addition of the moist fuel, without overwhelming the on-going combustion process. Table 5 also shows that a different air flow rate (10 L/min) was applied for the moist samples (>55 wt. %) at minimum combustion temperature of 500 °C and for the moist sample (>40 wt. %) | HUMAN |
The Wellington museum is planned to open in April to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli battle, a campaign in Turkey that resulted in 130,000 deaths, including 87,000 Ottoman soldiers and 44,000 Allied soldiers. Among the Allied forces, 2,779 New Zealanders—approximately one-fifth of those who landed on the peninsula—and over 8,700 Australians lost their lives. Jackson noted that additional galleries will open over the next four years to honor other battles involving New Zealanders. He also expressed his hope that the museum will emphasize the experiences of New Zealanders who fought in the Gallipoli campaign during the First World War. | AI |
The discovery of new species often generates significant attention, particularly when it involves higher-level taxa or living fossils. A notable example occurred in 1938, when a peculiar fish was caught in the Indian Ocean off the coast of South Africa. Identified as a coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae, CR), this species belongs to a group of marine fish that were abundant in ancient seas but were believed to have gone extinct around 65 million years ago. Coelacanths are of particular interest to evolutionary biologists due to the structure of their fins, which exhibit muscle and bone features resembling the limbs of the earliest vertebrates that transitioned to land. Since the initial discovery, coelacanths have been documented along the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, ranging from South Africa to the Comoros and extending to Kenya. | AI |
He said it would require pupils to explore and understand ‘the constant shifts in the British population’. They would study invaders such as the Romans and the Vikings, the effects of the British Empire and immigration arising from attempts to flee persecution including the Huguenots, Jews and, more recently, the Syrians. The GCSE is being reformed in line with changes to qualifications ordered by the Coalition, which is attempting to increase rigour and depth of knowledge. OCR is currently developing two new GCSEs in response to the reforms. One will focus on the ‘modern world’ and the second will put more emphasis on a range of historical periods. | HUMAN |
2. All the directions of the arcs seem to be well established; this can probably be attributed to the use of a whitelist and a blacklist, as they force the directions of nearby arcs to cascade into place. Furthermore, a cursory examination of the arc strengths above the threshold confirms that 15 out of 18 arcs in the consensus network appear in fact with a frequency of at least 0.85. All arc directions are also clearly established (all frequencies are equal to 1). This allows to further simplify the consensus network as shown in Fig. | HUMAN |
Madam President, Commissioner Fischer Boel, ladies and gentlemen, for 22 years, the food distribution program for the most deprived individuals in the Community has played a significant role in advancing key objectives of the common agricultural policy.

In 2006 alone, 13 million people across 15 Member States benefited from this program, underscoring the importance of maintaining such essential assistance. | AI |
A Daily Value (DV) of 20 is considered high. For nutrients like fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, or sodium, it is generally advisable to choose foods with a low percent DV. Conversely, when focusing on essential vitamins or minerals, opt for foods with a high percent DV. To determine your remaining daily fat allowance after consuming a serving of macaroni-and-cheese, subtract the percent DV for fat (18%) from 100%. To convert this percentage into grams of fat, refer to the footnote on the food label, which provides the recommended maximum daily intake of fat in grams. | AI |
Please let us know if you need any input from the rest of us to emphasize the importance of this matter. As I mentioned during our phone call, the team in Houston involved in the VAR process has faced significant scrutiny from commercial teams and has been challenged by a lack of clear understanding among all parties regarding their responsibilities. Given the distance and the relative inexperience of the Metals personnel, I am concerned this could lead to unexpected issues and difficult communication, much of which could likely be avoided. Thank you, Ted. | AI |
One evening, in 1833 or 1834, there were assembled at the house of the Castellan Count Plater three great artists: Liszt, Hiller, and Chopin. A lively discussion arose on national music, Chopin maintaining, that no one who had not been in Poland and inhaled the perfume of its meadows could have any true sympathy with its folk-songs. As a test of this it was proposed to play the well-known Mazurka, “Poland is not lost yet.” Liszt played first, then Hiller, each giving a different interpretation. Several pianists followed; last of all came Chopin, whom both Liszt and Hiller were obliged to admit far surpassed them in comprehending the spirit of the Mazurka. | HUMAN |
In a study of 600 children from the same community, *Ascaris* egg prevalence was 75%, though sero-prevalence was not assessed \\[[@B12]\\]. In a nearby community with improved sanitation and housing, 48% of 359 children tested seropositive for *Ascaris*, while only 15% were egg-positive based on two fecal samples per child \\[[@B42]\\]. Children who were egg-positive were more likely to also be seropositive. These findings from an urban CT setting indicate that immune responses to *Ascaris* were two to three times more common in both adults and children than the detection of eggs in feces. In rural areas, where complications like intestinal and duct obstructions caused by *Ascaris* are well-documented but egg-prevalence studies are lacking, the situation is likely comparable. | AI |
This also limits its contribution to economic growth. In this paper, we investigate the energy-growth nexus in 10 Eurasian oil-exporting developing countries, namely Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia and UAE, over the period 1997–2014. We are motivated by a number of issues related to the countries considered, energy measures used, methodologies applied and theoretical frameworks employed, which were not sufficiently addressed in previous studies. We perform panel integration, cointegration and error correction analysis as well as the Granger causality in the augmented production function framework. We employ different alternative methods and use two different measures of energy consumption in the empirical analysis for a robustness check. | HUMAN |

WP&L and other Wisconsin utilities keep a percentage of their total generation, called spinning reserve, operating beyond what is required to meet current demand to deal with potential emergencies. With the loss of the 300 megawatts of generation from the South Fond du Lac plant last night, WP&L's spinning reserves dropped below safe levels, prompting the emergency actions. " Issuing a public appeal and exercising our interruptible contracts, while unusual, was a prudent and conservative course of action given the weather conditions," says Harvey. The fuel intake problem at the South Fond du Lac plant has been resolved and WP&L's system has returned to normal operations today. | HUMAN |
Background story about him: He was the guy every mother wants their daughter to end up with. Graduated validictorian, national meritt scholar, full ride to a University, great with families and outgoing personality, and just seemed to have everything figured out. However, he was extremely lazy, stopped caring about his appearance, didn't actually know what he wanted to do with his life, and became so comfortable with the relationship that he began majorly neglecting me. We would have talk after talk about this and nothing changed. So I ended things almost three years later and he went into a massive depression. | HUMAN |
I'll agree that streams are primarily about entertainment (as that's intrinsically linked to their profitability), but the overall demeanor of the professionals acts as a basic litmus test for the community as a whole. For somebody just learning about LoL, if they watch a streamer act like a jackass, that informs their initial judgements about LoL. This act of contextualization is important for how that individual might act if they decide to play. If success in LoL is seen as winning games (or at least not losing), and part of being a professional is an ability to win games, imitating professionals should be seen as linked. | HUMAN |

Police reported finding drugs in the house, but the cause of Bobbi's loss of consciousness remains unclear. On Friday, authorities announced they were opening a criminal investigation into the matter. TMZ reported that suspicious injuries discovered on Bobbi when she was hospitalized raised concerns about possible foul play. Jerod Brown stated on Instagram that doctors had expressed little hope for improvement, though her father has denied claims that the family is preparing to say goodbye. Bobbi Kristina, daughter of the late Whitney Houston, who was found dead in 2012, remains at the center of this ongoing situation. | AI |
Pacific Gas & Electric reported that six natural-gas suppliers, responsible for 36 percent of its daily supply, have either halted deliveries or indicated they may stop by Tuesday. Additionally, other suppliers, representing 30 percent of daily supplies, are considering similar actions. One supplier, Western Gas Resources Inc., ceased deliveries on January 12 after PG&E failed to meet payment terms under their contract, according to Ron Wirth, a company spokesperson. Western Gas had been supplying 5 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. Wirth noted that the company has not yet reviewed Richardson's order and therefore cannot comment on it. | AI |

All moth species, including Edosa pyriata, undergo holometabolous development. This type of metamorphosis includes development through a series of stages, from egg, larva, pupa, finally to maturity. Following the egg stage of development, the moths go through a larval stage in which the primary goal is to consume enough food to provide energy for the growth stage that occurs in the pupa, as well as provide much of the energy for the reproduction and adult phase of life. The pupal phase of development takes place in cocoons, in which the larva that entered the cocoon exits at full maturity. | HUMAN |
> [interested in examples of how each culture understands a given field and > Universe overall, instead of analogies] Hold on while I "pick my jaw up off the floor".. Shared analogical perspective makes 80% (off hand estimate) of anything above a bare level of expression possible, using conceptual metaphors. When we say "falling in love", "taking a shot in the dark", "flying by the seat of your pants", "shooting from the hip", "feathering your nest", "both sides of the same coin", "where your bread is buttered", on and on and on... we use bridges, which our conceptual ancestors and contemporaries built between what they already experienced and what life threw their way, by seeing some relationship across seemingly unrelated constructs and reusing much older words in innovative combos to make phrases so that they can convey rich meaning, layer cakes, each with foundations, interesting confections, and occasional icings, if you will.. Look at each of them again and plumb the depths of your mind for memories with each word's meaning and also its historical origin and significance. Each of those things happened where they did for whom they did. | HUMAN |

TransAlta's frustration is no surprise to Enron Canada. I can advise that I wrote a memo to John Lavorato dated March 17, 2000 in which I reviewed Enron's concerns regarding the behavior of B.C. Hydro Power Supply and Powerex that is very similar to the allegations presented by TransAlta. The purpose of my memo to John L was to outline my initial thoughts on what Enron Canada may wish to do to attempt to stop this abuse and was focused on the idea of proceeding with a complaint to FERC that B.C. Hydro Power Supply and Powerex were exercising transmission market power. Enron Canada did not pursue this any further at the time. | HUMAN |
In this case, the symmetry currents associated with the SO(N) rotation \\(N_{ij}\\) and the rescaling of the cone \\(J\\) can be consistently defined. Additionally, \\(X\\) is a noncompact Calabi-Yau space equipped with a nowhere vanishing holomorphic top form. This allows the energy-momentum tensor to be globally defined, ensuring that the curved \\(\\beta\\gamma\\) theory on \\(X\\) is conformally invariant. For further details, Appendix A provides additional information on the curved \\(\\beta\\gamma\\) description, including the choice of local coordinates and the explicit forms of the currents \\(J\\), \\(N\\), and \\(T\\). Note that \\(J\\) is commonly referred to as the "ghost number" current in the literature. | AI |
From May to September or October, winds circulate counterclockwise around the Asian Low, producing persistent southwesterly winds from the north Indian Ocean and South China Sea, as well as south-southwesterly or southerly winds over the western Pacific Ocean. This system, which is part of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), contrasts with the Siberian High during winter. The consistent southwesterly flow from the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, along with southerly winds over the western Pacific, gradually drives the summer monsoon across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. | AI |
When the initial assumption is reasonably accurate, the scientific process converges efficiently, similar to how solving an inverse problem becomes straightforward with a proper starting point. Beginning with the concept of densely packed ions appears to be a logical approach. In my view, studies of selectivity mechanisms and protein active sites should focus first on examining ions at extremely high concentrations interacting with side chains. This is essentially what our simplified models of the selectivity filter achieve, though Wolfgang Nonner and I may not have fully recognized this at the outset. I believe this is the appropriate starting point, with structural details incorporated later as they demonstrate their significance in shaping the forces and energetics of the system and model. | AI |

Like the Government & Binding framework that was introduced in the previous chapter, the Minimalist framework was initiated by Noam Chomsky at the MIT in Boston. ; ) argued that the problem of language evolution should be taken seriously and that the question of how linguistic knowledge could become part of our genetic endowment should be answered. To that end he suggested refocusing the theoretical developments towards models that have to make minimal assumptions regarding the machinery that is needed for linguistic analyses and hence towards models that assume less language specific innate knowledge. | HUMAN |

Peak power prices in the Southwest were largely steady for Monday delivery, but some late-day selling caused prices to end near session lows. Heavy load energy costs at Palo Verde ranged from 23.75 to 25.5$/MWh, with unconfirmed deals as low as 22$/MWh reported about an hour after the normal trading session had ended. "It's still supposed to be cold to start the new week, but the worst of it is certainly over, or so our in-house forecasters say," said one Phoenix-based trader. Some traders believed unit outages could keep supplies a bit tight to start the new week, but that forecasted warming would keep most strength at bay.

In this section we consider a system of a single substance in two or more uniform phases with distinctly different intensive properties. For instance, one phase might be a liquid and another a gas. We assume the phases are not separated by internal partitions, so that there is no constraint preventing the transfer of matter and energy among the phases. ( A tall column of gas in a gravitational field is a different kind of system in which intensive properties of an equilibrium state vary continuously with elevation; this case will be discussed in Sec. .) | HUMAN |
Today, I received two calls. The first was from a woman who introduced herself as the owner of the company. She apologized extensively, explaining that their usual business practices were not reflected in this incident. She asked if there was anything she could do to make amends and expressed concern that the negative Yelp review could harm their small, growing business. The second call came from the individual who had initially caused the issue. He admitted there was no excuse for his behavior, apologized sincerely, and stated that he had learned from the experience. | AI |
The land was carefully parceled out among the chiefs, upon the plan of securing to each one from his own land all that he and his retainers needed for their lives. What they chiefly required was taro ground, the sea for fish, the mulberry for tapa, and timber land for canoes; but they required also _ti_ leaves in which to wrap their parcels, and flowers of which to make their _les_, or flower necklaces. And I have seen modern surveys of old "lands" in which the lines were run very irregularly, and in some cases oven outlying patches were added, because a straight line from mountain to sea was found to exclude some one product, even so trifling as the yellow flowers of which _les_ are often made. | HUMAN |
That's not tolerance.. that's not living side by side with people who have an opinion that is different from your own. That's still just saying 'we believe this, evidence A, B and C is why, and if you don't accept it you're not welcome and our peaceful desires dont apply to you'. It implies that it's fine to be aggressive and insulting to anyone who doesn't agree with the PCMR, because you're explicitly saying that only those who accept the PC as superior for all are welcome in our circle of compassion. | HUMAN |

‘I agree entirely with the writer in the high estimate which he places on female education, and have long since been satisfied, that the subject not only merits, but imperiously demands a thorough reconsideration. The whole scheme must, in my opinion, be deconstructed. The great elements of usefulness and duty are too little attended to. Women ought, in my view of the subject, to approach to the best education now given to men, (I except mathematics and the classics,) far more I believe than has ever yet been at-tempted.

This concept of services of general interest is perhaps even truer, moreover, with the IDABC programme for the period 2005-2009. Indeed, we the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance are as you know pro free software and have found that it is backed up because it is included in the idea of interoperable delivery of pan-European Government services to administrations. We therefore support these projects. I will say, to conclude – because it is interesting news – that the town of Munich for example, apart from the example that was set with IDA, has switched to LINUX, to free software, and I hope that other administrations will take up the same challenges. | HUMAN |
Peter Weller leads a cast of Canadian actors in this engaging low-budget thriller directed by George Cosmatos. The film delivers consistent action and explores how a meticulous individual confronts a threat to his surroundings. Louis Del Grande, known for "Seeing Things," gives a strong performance as the helpful janitor living near Weller's upscale home. The movie also showcases emerging Canadian talent, including Kenneth Welsh, Jennifer Dale, and a noticeably slimmer Maury Chaykin. Filmed in Montreal, which stands in for New York, the production benefited from the Canadian Tax Credit system. | AI |
The k-mappability problem was initially introduced in the context of genome analysis in [5], with earlier conceptual groundwork in [3], where a heuristic algorithm was proposed to approximate the solution. From a biological standpoint, the goal is to compute the mappability of each region in a genome sequence. This involves counting, for every factor of a specified length in the sequence, how many times it appears elsewhere in the genome, allowing for a certain number of errors. This concept is particularly valuable in genome re-sequencing, as calculating the mappability of a reference genome enables more confident assembly of an individual’s genome by prioritizing the mapping of DNA segments from regions with low mappability. Additionally, studies have demonstrated significant variation in genome mappability across different species and gene classes [5]. | AI |
He did not miss her, for he scarcely knew her. His father was a model parent, he was willing to make any sacrifice for the child, upon whom he lavished enormous sums of money, save one,--the sacrifice of his time, which was devoted partly to business, but mostly to pleasure. Weeks passed continually without the boy's even seeing his father, but then no toy was too expensive to be purchased for him so soon as he expressed a wish for it to the housekeeper, there was no delicacy upon which he might not feed until it disgusted him. Everything, everything save affection was lavished upon him. Was he not the silliest of lads in that so far from being contented he sometimes shed bitter tears over his lot? | HUMAN |
The drop is well-crafted, though I was slightly disappointed that the color isn’t the vibrant pink shown in the picture. Instead, it has a faint grayish tint, likely due to a small amount of ash in the glass, which may have come from melting the original piece of depression glass. The concept of recycling antique glass shards is creative, and I appreciate the unique colors from the vintage bottles and plates used as materials. The imperfect color might actually highlight the handmade nature of the piece rather than mass production. I’m inclined to try another piece in the future to see how it turns out. | AI |
I voted against Mr Kirilov's report on Cohesion Policy: Investing in the real economy. It is, in fact, crucial to understand that the EU's cohesion policy makes an important contribution to the European Economic Recovery Plan and is the Community's largest source of investment in the real economy, providing targeted assistance for addressing priority needs and areas with growth potential, both in the public and in the private sector. However, this ought to make us think about the mistakes made in the past that have led to this serious economic situation. Strict legislation is required in this sector, too, otherwise the same mistakes are liable to be repeated in cycles. | HUMAN |
So can we not have cooperation which is made to measure? In any case, geopolitical factors are not sufficient reason for something as radical as full membership of the European Union. We believe that a democratic Turkey must be able to speak out about this itself. But we also feel that the European countries themselves, that the people must know how far they want integration to go. I am very concerned, particularly when I actually hear someone in the Commission, Commissioner Bolkestein to be precise, say that the enlargement of Europe is getting in the way of the deepening process. | HUMAN |
The opening ceremony of the Pan American Games follows a structured format as outlined in the Olympic Charter. It begins with the raising of the host country’s flag and the performance of its national anthem. This is followed by cultural presentations, including music, dance, and theater, which showcase the host nation’s heritage. Over time, these artistic segments have become increasingly elaborate as each host aims to create a more memorable event than previous ones. For example, the opening ceremony of the Guadalajara Games involved significant expenses, with the artistic portion accounting for a large portion of the reported $20 million budget. | AI |
