Gantt charts, which I introduced in the context of hard-real-time scheduling, can also be used to illustrate other scheduling concepts, such as those concerning response time. Suppose thread T1 is triggered by an event at time 0 and needs to run for 1.5 seconds before it can respond. Suppose thread T2 is triggered by an event occurring 0.3 seconds later than T1’s trigger, and that T2 needs to run 0.2 seconds before it can respond. Draw a Gantt chart for each of the following three cases, and for each indicate the response time of T1, the response time of T2, and the average response time: | HUMAN |
Lee accepted an offer from Wisconsin Valley Television Corporation to acquire WMTV in December 1962. Wisconsin Valley was a consortium of newspaper interests that owned WSAU radio and television in Wausau. The FCC only narrowly approved the transaction on a 4–3 vote in May 1963, in large part because the firm was being investigated for its relationship with efforts to start an educational television station in Wausau on the only other VHF channel in that city so as to prevent it from going into commercial use; a condition was attached that allowed the FCC to order the sale of WMTV to another group at no profit to Wisconsin Valley should it find the firm abused its processes. That September, the FCC voted 5–0 to allow the sale to stand after Midcontinent Broadcasting, owner of WKOW-TV, asked it to reconsider. | HUMAN |
The point of this show is to laugh at the shoddy production, writing and acting. However, the way this show is acted, written and produced is, for me the best, the most observant, yet ridiculous, that I have ever seen on British comedy television. My favourite example of the writing has to be in episode 3, 'Skipper the eye child', when Rick Dagless m.d. ( Garth Marenghi) says: You know what Sanch, you can dissect a heart, but you'll never know what makes it skip a beat This programme, for me is pure genius, because Matt Holness, has really nailed the genre on its head. This programme not only makes me think of and laugh about shoddy horror shows, or appalling writing, it also makes me think of the times that I thought that I was a talented writer when I was younger, and wrote lines similar to the one above, feeling very proud of myself. | HUMAN |
Following the petitioners’ plea of not guilty, a departmental disciplinary trial was held before an Administrative Law Judge. The evidence presented showed that an investigator had contacted a confidential informant, who reported that the petitioners had regularly visited a location known for drug trafficking and had used illegal drugs there. Further investigation confirmed that the location was recognized by the police department as a site associated with drug-related activities. The informant later provided additional information, stating that the petitioners had recently been seen using drugs at the same location. | AI |
For example, even with inefficient brute-force methods, accounting for spatial noise correlations has been shown to yield a measurable improvement over MWPM [5]. Additionally, local noise characteristics can significantly affect code performance [6, 7]. Several alternative decoders have been developed, offering advantages in speed or accuracy compared to MWPM [8–21]. However, these approaches typically assume uncorrelated Pauli noise, with the exception of [22], which addresses a specific type of correlated Pauli noise. In this work, we introduce a decoding algorithm for the surface code capable of handling general noise, including non-Pauli and spatially correlated noise. | AI |
Liquidity is essential because it enables people to purchase goods and services. A lack of liquidity can be compared to empty grocery stores—it may not seem significant at first, but it becomes highly problematic when it occurs. In this discussion, market makers and high-frequency traders are often grouped together, though they are distinct. Market makers are employed by exchanges to ensure markets remain liquid. They commit to always being present in the market, typically offering to trade at least a specified amount of a security, such as 100 lots. | AI |
The following letter comes from a young man whose reckless behavior had brought grief to his family. Despite being intelligent, well-educated, and capable, he succumbed to destructive habits and immoral pursuits, eventually turning to theft. Over time, his actions exhausted his family's patience, and they lost hope for his redemption. He reached out to us from a prison where our work had not yet been established. After reading a copy of the *Gazette*, he found inspiration and began to see us as allies. | AI |

This is a unicorn. If it's the real world we're talking about, as far as I can tell client-heavy webapps that are actually engineered this well -- and don't frequently end up in a more inscrutable state than a pageload failure when network issues rear up -- are rare enough in practice that it feels weird to hold that up as the yardstick for criticism. | HUMAN |
He had several clever friends who enjoyed writing short pieces for his paper, which helped improve its reputation and popularity. These men often visited us, and as I listened to their discussions about how well their work was received, I felt inspired to try writing something myself. However, knowing I was still young and suspecting my brother would refuse to print anything of mine if he knew it was me, I decided to disguise my handwriting. I wrote an anonymous piece and slipped it under the printing-house door at night. The next morning, it was found and shared with his writer friends when they arrived. They read it, discussed it in my presence, and I was delighted to hear their approval. When they speculated about the author, they only mentioned men known for their intelligence and skill. Looking back, I realize I may have been fortunate in my audience, as they might not have been as discerning as I believed at the time. | AI |
Fourth – Once we’ve gathered all the information we need to get help going to you in a timely fashion feel free to add any additional information you want the responding crew to know at this point. If your call requires any ongoing management while we’re on route we will stay on the phone with you and guide you through emergency child birth, bleed control or CPR. Once again try to stay calm and just focus on the instructions we give. We’ll also give you some things to do while we’re on route such as putting away any family pets, gathering up medications and unlocking the front door. In any situation that you want the call taker to stay on the line with you simply to help you stay calm then just ask :). | HUMAN |
We find that decedent was of sound mind when he established a joint banking account with defendant Andrew J. Kalich in February of 1968 and when he transferred his Deemston Borough property by deed in May of 1971. The testimony of all his children reinforces our finding that decedent was mentally competent. In addition, in 1970 he petitioned to the Orphan’s Court of Washington County, to adopt his step-son, plaintiff George Kalich. In that proceeding, this court found that decedent was competent, of sound mind, and *437capable of understanding the proceedings and consequences of the adoption. | HUMAN |
The numbers are adding up fast and it is becoming clearer and clearer that the Nigerian governments both federal and states are failing resoundingly in their responsibility to protect innocent lives. Canan continues to be concerned about relief for the victims of terrorism in Nigeria.' Pastor Laolu Akande, the association's executive director, told the International Business Times that Boko Haram can only be defeated if the Nigerian military is backed up internationally. He said Nigeria had been trying to defeat the terrorist for four years, but 'Nigerian forces are too weak'. Pastor Akande said: 'It is time for international force of the calibre of the UN to deploy troops in that part of Nigeria. | HUMAN |
The President of the United States, in a message to Congress in October of the previous year, proposed that surplus funds in the treasury—beyond those allocated for paying down the national debt—be directed toward significant national projects, such as constructing canals and turnpike roads. New York, as the leading commercial state in the nation, holds a strategic position with the most favorable route for connecting the Atlantic and western waters via a canal between the Hudson River and Lake Erie. This canal would ensure that the wealth and trade from the extensive western regions bordering the upper lakes would consistently flow toward New York’s major commercial hub. Additionally, legislatures in several other states have made substantial efforts to secure trade from the vast western territories beyond the Alleghenies, despite having far fewer natural advantages compared to New York. | AI |
The White House team tasked with creating a national energy plan has engaged with over 130 interest groups, including environmentalists, unions, and major supporters of President Bush. Vice President Dick Cheney, along with Cabinet secretaries and other officials, has held private meetings to gather input, aiming to foster open discussions. The White House has not disclosed the names of participants, even to Congress. However, interviews with those involved reveal that task force executive director Andrew Lundquist has met with a wide range of stakeholders. Cheney has focused his time on more selective meetings, such as those with power wholesaler Enron Corp. and the Edison Electric Institute, both of which are Republican donors. | AI |
Blatt stated that Knight was confronted by four individuals, including Sloan, as he arrived in the parking lot after Carter asked him to attend a meeting. According to Blatt, Knight accelerated his vehicle and drove away out of fear. During Tuesday's arraignment, the initial judge recused himself due to having previously represented both victims in the case during his time as an attorney. Judge Ricardo Ocampo was then assigned to oversee the case. The District Attorney’s Office noted that Knight was out on bail for a pending robbery case at the time of the alleged hit-and-run incident. | AI |
Even before the financial crisis, the labor market was already facing significant challenges. A growing number of individuals were being pushed into part-time or short-term work, while state-supported employment opportunities were steadily reduced. Over time, more working people have found themselves living below the poverty line. Given the current pessimistic economic forecasts, the decline in full-time employment is expected to continue, and part-time workers may eventually face job losses as well. Preventing mass unemployment must remain a top priority. | AI |
Therefore I propose that we obtain written veification from the customer that the units are truly isolated. The customer will need to run its units to peak shave in at least August so the threat expressed that such use will trigger a retroactive back bill should be taken seriously. The anticompetitive situation described above needs to be raised at the Commission now. We need to ensure that the ICC will enforce IP's tariffs in a manner consistent with our interpretation of the customer's (and hence Enron's as agent) rights under the tariffs. | HUMAN |
On October 17, 2001, Dow Jones Energy Service reported that Enron Corp. (ENE), the largest natural gas trading company in the U.S., expressed interest in preserving the regular report on U.S. natural gas storage inventory. John Lavorato, president and CEO of Enron's Americas Wholesale Services unit, stated that the company hopes another organization will take over the report after the American Gas Association (AGA) discontinues its weekly gas storage report at the end of the year. Speaking at an analyst meeting, Lavorato emphasized the importance of the storage report for monitoring industry fundamentals. He warned that without regular updates, the gas industry could face less frequent but more significant price fluctuations compared to historical trends. While the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration provides monthly gas storage data, it is not as timely as the AGA's weekly reports released every Wednesday. | AI |
After reading in the Baltimore *Sun* that Harewood, still owned by the Washington family, was a place of great pride for all Washingtons and a "lodestone drawing them back to their ancestral roots," I was deeply dismayed to find the property in a state of severe neglect during my visit. The porches and steps have collapsed, the garden is overgrown and unkempt, and the graves in the yard are surrounded by crumbling stones, with cattle grazing nearby. Only the parts of the building that time has not yet damaged remain intact. The drawing-room, which features a mantelpiece gifted to Washington by Lafayette and some of the finest wood paneling I have seen in an American home, has held up relatively well, as has the old stairway, imported by Washington from England. | AI |
First, this was not a Riot event but I held similar expectations given the line up, casters, and venue. Unfortunately, ESL chose a weekend very close to finals for many students and I think that hindered the turn out to the event. During the first day the event seemed only a third full, I was almost embarrassed walking the near-empty halls during the event. I felt silly thinking the event would sell out and getting "early bird" pricing (which I think there was no discount for at all). The turn out was one of the major let downs. | HUMAN |
Given the strongly coupled nature of the superconducting system under investigation, it is logical to develop a holographic model for a multiband superconductor with S± symmetry in the order parameter. Such a model could help explain various experimental observations and clarify the relationships between different characteristics of unconventional superconductors. Early holographic models of superconductivity, such as those in [12–14], focused on one-band S-wave superconductors and demonstrated the method's effectiveness by reproducing Ginzburg-Landau theory results and predicting nontrivial AC-conductivity frequency dependence. Subsequent models extended this approach to P-wave [15, 16] and D-wave [17–19] superconductors, addressing phenomena like vortex and droplet formation [20, 21] and incorporating effects of crystal lattices [22–24] and impurities [25]. In this study, we adopt a methodology similar to [31], which explored multiband superconductors, though our approach differs in its treatment of condensate phases and electric current, allowing for a more direct analysis. | AI |
Just a brief comment for now, of all the versions that I watched of Little lord Fauntleroy filmatisations, this one in my opinion features the best fitting actors if you compare with the book. And shining gloriously at the top is Sir C. Aubrey Smith (the old Earl - Cedric's grandfather). No other actor that I have seen so far comes closer to portraying the old Earl as gruff and cantankerous as he comes across in the beginning of the book. A slight minus is the low technical quality of the film, but being made in 1936 it is not bad all things considered. I might add that this was the first filmatisation that I watched and thus my opinion might be a little biased but I think that this film is still on the top shelf in terms of overall quality, a true classic. | HUMAN |
In "Pedagogy of the Oppressed," Freire (1973) argues that involving traditionally illiterate and uneducated individuals as equal partners in learning environments fosters critical awareness, which is essential for driving meaningful change. UNESCO (2004) similarly emphasizes the importance of literacy, not only as a tool for social justice and transformation but also as a fundamental human right. They highlight its broader impact, noting that literacy opens access to employment, enhances economic opportunities, and improves overall quality of life. | AI |
Mr. Skilling cited personal reasons as well as his concerns over the falling stock price. While the Enron spokesman says the company doesn't comment on specific trading arrangements, he adds that Entergy is one of his company's smaller trading partners. He says major trading partners are doing business with Enron on "essentially the same terms and conditions" and that overall "our trading operations are as strong as ever." The company spokesman adds that a few smaller trading partners in Europe are seeking revised credit terms from Enron. " We are working to put together credit terms, which they are more comfortable with," says the spokesman, who declines to be more specific. | HUMAN |
Employees typically receive an option grant, and any discussions about equity should include clarifying statements such as "this is subject to Board of Directors approval" and "the terms of the grant will follow the company’s option plan and standard agreement." It is essential to formalize the arrangement by signing a stock option agreement. Without proper documentation, the incentive stock option (ISO) classification may be at risk, potentially causing the employee to lose associated tax benefits. | AI |
Mol (2007) provides a clue to understanding the riches-to-rags journey of biofuels. He suggests that debates on the merits of biofuels remained localised so long as production systems were themselves local or national in scope; however, this has changed with the rise of a globally integrated biofuel network. Likewise, van der Horst and Vermeylen (2011) highlight problems arising from global North/South biofuel networks in which crops and oils are produced in poorer Southern regions for biofuel use in the richer North. The spatial structure of biofuel production is therefore implicated as an underlying factor in the current problems of biofuels. In this paper, we aim to investigate this hypothesis more systematically by examining the historical promotion of bioenergy as well as the recent debate. | HUMAN |
>And at the end of it all, the answer to the question "Can we say what diet is best for health?" and by health, we mean longevity, vitality, weight control. All the good stuff that we all want. The answer is absolutely no, if what we mean is a very specific, prescriptive — my diet can beat your diet. So, you know, can we say whether the best Mediterranean diet is better than the best vegan diet or that’s better than the best paleo diet for human health? | HUMAN |
A notable gender difference was observed in the correlation between cerebellar regional gray matter volume (GMV) and executive function (EF). Boys exhibited a greater number of cerebellar regions with significant correlations between GMV and WCST subcategories, with 52 regions identified (37 at FDR < 0.2), compared to 28 regions in girls (0 at FDR < 0.2). In boys, these correlated areas were primarily concentrated in lobule 3 and vermis regions 1-2, 3, and 10, whereas in girls, no specific region stood out, and the correlations were generally weaker. The reasons for this sexual dimorphism remain unclear, as no prior studies have addressed this phenomenon. A potential explanation may lie in the previously noted differences in cerebellar development between genders. | AI |
The procedure outlined in (Dennis et al., 2002) demonstrates how a sequence of ancilla preparations at the boundaries, combined with local CNOT gates, can transform a rough boundary into a smooth one, or vice versa. This process involves removing qubits from the west and south boundaries while adding qubits to the north and east boundaries, effectively shifting the lattice upward. Alternatively, instead of applying CNOT gates, ancilla qubits can be introduced, and the new plaquette and star operators can be measured directly. A key aspect of this process is that the 90-degree rotation must be performed incrementally, requiring O(L) steps, as illustrated in Fig. X. | AI |
I probably used every curse I know while working on the 5th PGM assignment, but I am the first to admit that I did learn a lot, and I'm sure they will fix the rough edges for the second run of the class. Moreover, the entrepreneur in me is very inspired to see fresh-from-the-oven code. Sure, I've already seen apps that were lacking some features because they were released fast, but here I have an opportunity to actually see some fresh code (since we are basically asked to "fill in the blanks" in Daphne's implementation). I admire Daphne's entrepreneurial courage to publish something even if is is not 100%. | HUMAN |
The extent of which have been delineated by the presence of vegetation communities visible in aerial (e. g. Cruickshank and Tomlinson, 1990) and/or satellite (e. g. Aitkenhead, 2017) imagery. This assumes that peat is overlain by peat-forming vegetation communities, however, where peatlands have been subject to land management, peat may be overlain by non-peat forming vegetation (Connolly et al. , 2007). To capture both actively forming and relic peats, it is imperative that any method to map peat depths are capable of including these areas of peat overlain by non-peat forming vegetation. An emerging remote sensing method that has shown potential to map peat depth over landscape extents is airborne gamma-ray spectrometric survey. | HUMAN |
The reason the process is described as continuing for a very long time is that maximizing the expression λmtlong/t may not align with a whole number of cycles. Stopping mid-cycle means no ore is raised during that partial cycle, making calculus-based maximization of a continuous function unsuitable. However, when the process extends over many cycles, the impact of the final incomplete cycle becomes insignificant, allowing calculus-based maximization to be a valid approach. | AI |
In this year’s Alternative Christmas Message, British Ebola survivor William Pooley urged a global response to the epidemic, which has resulted in over 7,500 deaths. The 29-year-old nurse from Suffolk, who was the first Briton evacuated from West Africa after contracting the disease, later returned to work in Sierra Leone following his recovery. He described Ebola as unlike any other disease he had encountered, emphasizing that many victims had died alone and in distress due to a lack of adequate medical care. Pooley joins a list of previous speakers for Channel Four’s alternative to the Queen’s message, including figures such as Edward Snowden, Ali G, and Sharon Osbourne. | AI |
This element does well, and doesn't really hurt anything, and eventually the one chromosome system becomes a two chromosome system. Now you have a mechanisms which become the bias of meiosis. Most life styles don't really benefit from this whole 'pool all your resources' strategy, but it turns out that almost every cells benefits from being able to share their genetic material. So you tare down the bits you don't need any more and keep only the bit you like-this simply fusion-fission system. Initially any cell can fuse with any other cell of the same species, but it turns out that cells which contain a 'don't fuse with self' gene do really well because inbreeding is generally bad. | HUMAN |
The black circles show 2G mergers (both in-cluster and ejected) which have at least one component that was formed from a previous BBH merger. The right panel shows the mass distribution of these mergers at low redshifts (z < 1). As the spins are increased from χb = 0 to χb = 0.4, the number of 2G mergers decreases significantly, as their progenitors were less likely to be retained in the cluster. See the discussion in Section V. The red-dashed line indicates the maximum mass of first-generation BBHs (∼81M⊙) with our assumed pair-instability supernova limit. The handful of first-generation BBHs which merge above this are the result of either stable mass transfer or stellar collisions prior to BH formation. | HUMAN |
The topic is challenging to address because homework is often treated as a uniform requirement for students of all ages, even though this expectation is unrealistic. For example, no one expects preschool children to receive homework, while it is equally unreasonable to assume university students can learn everything within the classroom. Somewhere between these two stages, students likely need to begin receiving homework, potentially starting with small amounts and gradually increasing the workload over time. | AI |
The spectral gap can be seen as the decay rate of the slowest-decaying quasi-stationary eigenstate. If the gap is small, then the quasi-stationary eigenstate remains populated for a long period of time, whereas if the gap is large, then all eigenstates except the stationary one get depopulated rapidly. ‡ The spectral gap of a Liouvillian L is defined as the magnitude of the smallest (in absolute value) non-zero real part of the eigenvalues of L, where the Liouvillian is written as a linear operator in the matrix units basis, see Ref. [ 28] for further details. CONTENTS 15 In the setting at hand, the gap can in fact be read offfrom the expressions for the effective decay process ˆLγ,0,{1/2} eff , which have a rate γeff = Ω2 8γ . | HUMAN |
Among the many men employed with the Barnum show was one large, handsome fellow who was superintendent of the equestrian department. As showmen are fond of having nicknames, some one called this man "Barnum." The poor fellow was wholly illiterate and tolerably fond of whisky, consequently the name was decidedly inappropriate, but, as a nickname will, it stuck to him hard and fast. One day, while Mr. Barnum was visiting the show, his namesake was lying asleep outside one of the horse tents on a pile of hay, and one of the hands, desiring to waken him, shouted at the top of his voice: "Barnum!

She has a close male friend who frequently messages her, often late at night and even when I’m sitting right beside her. I’ve noticed the notifications and the tone of his messages, which include terms like “What are you doing, sweetie.” When I met him earlier this year—he helped us move furniture—he seemed overly curious about my personal life during the drive home. Later, during lunch, he made a series of sarcastic jokes that felt like attempts to undermine me. I tend to pick up on subtle cues and can sense when she’s holding back information or feeling insecure. We recently argued because she hadn’t told him about our relationship, claiming they don’t discuss that kind of thing. | AI |
On Sunday, I called her, and she shared details about her Friday night. She mentioned that my tendency to "freak out" whenever she goes out with her new friends was the final issue making her unhappy in the relationship. While she emphasized that I’m otherwise the perfect boyfriend, she said I need to address this behavior. I brought up my frustration that she doesn’t provide much information about these friends, but she countered that I’ve reacted poorly in the past when she’s shared more. I’m not entirely sure why I feel uneasy when she goes out, but it seems to stem from a lack of trust. We discussed everything yesterday, resolved the issue, and are on good terms now. Although this was the most impactful argument we’ve had, it’s now behind us. | AI |
In short, get in touch with the pensions office and find out what you need to do to secure your state pension because I think you still have time. Get any full time job with a proper employment contract and continue to live cheaply so you can make up years on your pension entitlement and pay for years you haven’t worked full time. Be careful though because many basic jobs, in retail particularly, will interview you on the assumption there is a full time job available but only offer you a short hours flexible contract which prevents you getting full time employment elsewhere. | HUMAN |
This may have been the same flood event that initially submerged legendary cities such as Dwaraka and Atlantis, eventually erasing all evidence of earlier civilizations over the following millennia. According to the Matsya Purana, an ancient Indian scripture, early inhabitants lived in the far south and fled a catastrophic flood, or Pralay, before resettling in the northwest. It is possible that survivors of this event migrated to regions like the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Europe, potentially spreading Sanskrit in the process. The largest migration may have been to the Indus region, where Vedic culture and Sanskrit likely flourished, particularly around the Saraswati River valley. | AI |
We are going to change that in the next version. Also, Shadow Keep was originally suppose to be a simple jump right in and play (and that's it), and so way back when we released Shadow Spires. When we asked for advice from friends and Reddit, we learned a lot, notably that people wanted a lot of features and that $.99 generally won't fly, no matter how good a game we made. So we used Shadow Spires to test new versions, which we would give out free codes to redditors to try. So, instead of one release with minor patches, we ended up spending 2 years redoing everything. | HUMAN |
Let an assailant of the Contagious Diseases Act, a fanatic for temperance, a protectionist who believes that free trade is the ruin of the country, an anti-vivisectionist who holds that any painful experiment on live animals is the most heinous of sins; let any man who has come to believe that his own credit, no less than the salvation of the country, depends on the success of a particular party, know that the triumph of his cause depends upon his voting that a particular measure operates beyond Great Britain, and we know well enough in which way he will vote. He will vote what he knows to be untrue rather than sacrifice a cause which he believes to be sacred. He will think himself both a fool and a traitor if he sacrifices the victory which is within his grasp to the maintenance of technical legality, or rather to respect for a rule of constitutional procedure. | HUMAN |
For three weeks, I struggled to sleep, convinced each time I closed my eyes that I was dying. I barely slept during that period and felt emotionally overwhelmed. My parents couldn’t understand why I remained so anxious, as even minor daily events made me fear I was having another heart attack. Eventually, they sat me down to talk, and I completely broke down, crying uncontrollably before running out of the house into the woods. I tried to push my heart to its limits, desperate to see if it would fail. The uncertainty about what was wrong with me was unbearable. I went to the hospital three more times, undergoing additional EKGs, a heart ultrasound, and stress tests, all of which showed no issues. | AI |
In April the mother of Monis' children Noleen Hayson Pal was stabbed 18 times and set alight in the stairwell of his western Sydney flat in Werrington. But in April 2013, Ms Pal was stabbed 18 times and set alight in the stairwell of his western Sydney flat in Werrington and seven months later, in October last year, police charged Monis with accessory to murder. His girlfriend, Amirah Droudis, a Greek Australian Muslim convert was charged with Ms Pal's murder. Ms Droudis was also charged over the hate letters, for aiding and abetting Monis. In September last year, Monis told police he had known Droudis for six years but that their relationship had not begun until May 2013 - the month following Ms Pal's murder. | HUMAN |
We’re a couple in our mid-30s who enjoy a mix of experiences, from casual outings to more refined dining. We’ve dined at Michelin-starred restaurants in London but are equally happy with local or budget-friendly spots, as long as the food is good. We’re drawn to bars, pubs, or venues with unique atmospheres, nice views, live music, or entertainment—places like Carnival Court at Harrah’s, which caught our attention online. We’re open to exploring anywhere fun or interesting. We plan to walk the Strip, take in the sights, and enjoy some people-watching, even if the attractions are considered touristy; we appreciate the mainstream appeal when visiting a new place. We’ve decided against visiting the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam due to her discomfort with helicopters and my reluctance to spend hours on a coach. Museums and art galleries aren’t a priority for us, though we’d consider stopping by if one happened to be nearby and the subject appealed to us. | AI |
The argument in favor of the inherent right to impose this tax is not strongly emphasized, so it can be addressed briefly. Taxation is a fundamental aspect of sovereignty. To safeguard the most essential rights of citizens, it must remain so, and its use should be limited to situations where it is necessary for the public’s welfare or safety. This principle underlies all forms of taxation, whether national, state, or local. Citizens pay taxes in exchange for the protection and security provided by law, as well as the political and municipal structures established to ensure these benefits. | AI |
It is important to note, however, that the text does not directly address certain critical issues that are essential for Africa and other extremely poor nations. Simply establishing funds or collaborating with existing organizations will not be sufficient to assist these countries. The focus must shift to highlighting fundamental priorities, with education being the most crucial. Other key areas include hygiene, health, and support for the local economy. It is vital to emphasize that support must be directed toward the local economy, as this is what will genuinely benefit the people in these regions. | AI |
The Commission's preliminary draft Budget is set at EUR 98.2 billion, reflecting a 2.7% increase compared to the current Budget. This growth rate is lower than the average projected for Member States' public budgets. It is important to note that the preliminary draft Budget, at EUR 4.7 billion below the maximum limit established by the Agenda 2000 financial perspective, remains within this framework. Additionally, it is positive that the draft Budget, despite numerous new demands, has been structured to maintain a significant margin for unforeseen circumstances, all while staying within the financial perspective. | AI |
This is a funny Jackie Chan film, that's great fun to watch,with some awesome stunts, and two knockout performances from Jackie Chan!. All the characters are cool, and the story is very entertaining, plus Jackie Chan is simply amazing in this!. I really liked the opening in black and white when they showed the twins as kids, and I loved the reference to Stallone and The Rocky movies with Tammy's(Nina Li Chi) boyfriend Rocky, plus it has some pretty good fights in it too. I actually found this to be more of a Comedy, but that's OK because it was highly enjoyable, and I think this should be higher then 6.0, plus the ending is absolutely hilarious!. As always Jackie does some amazing stunts, and the scene where Jackie and Tyson(Teddy Robin Kwan) escape on the boat is pretty exciting, plus while some of the humor is incredibly silly I couldn't help but laugh at it. | HUMAN |
Eager to stay informed about current trends, particularly those involving the rapid growth of British infants, and to shift my focus away from the image of undernourished children in Brixton, Camberwell, and Greenwich by observing the opposite end of infant development, I visited Highbury Barn during the opening of the Baby Show. Upon entering Mr. Giovannelli’s large hall, typically used for dance events, I found it transformed into a space dedicated to showcasing infants. At the entrance, I was encouraged to purchase a detailed card listing the names, weights, and other details of the babies under twelve months old who were on display. The card noted eighty entries, but by the time I arrived, just an hour after the show opened at two o’clock, the number had already reached one hundred. The sight of so many plump infants gathered together was striking, almost reminiscent of a scene that might appeal to a carnivorous appetite. | AI |
As an anesthesia provider, I can confirm that the answer to this question is both yes and no. During general anesthesia, vital signs such as ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and respiratory measurements are continuously monitored. In certain cases, such as brain surgery or procedures near the brain, brain activity may also be monitored.

May be this was the same floods that initially inundated mythical cities like Dwaraka, Atlantis etc and later over next few millennia, obliterated all traces of earlier civilisation? According to Indian scriptures called Matsya Purana, our ancestors used to live towards far South and escaped from great floods or Pralay, and settled later in the northwest parts...Could it be possible that the survivors of this event migrated to settlements at Indus valley, Mesopotamia, Egypt and Europe, introducing Sanskrit in the process? The largest migration could’ve been to Indus area, ensuring that the Vedic culture and Sanskrit took deeper roots and prospered around Saraswati river valley. | HUMAN |
I won’t spend time writing an essay or wasting yours, but I will say that those who are overly upset about this movie being made are being unreasonable. Johnnymacbest, using nationalism or patriotism as a reason to discourage people from watching it doesn’t hold up. This film is an expression of free will, which is a value in this country—even if the director is German and arguably questionable in his choices. Controversy is nothing new; it’s similar to past debates, like those surrounding GTA. This is a comedy, meant to provoke both laughter and discomfort. It’s dark humor, and if you can’t handle it, that’s fine, but the past is the past. While we honor those we’ve lost, it’s also important to move forward. | AI |
Light and electron micrographs (LM, TEM) of book lungs from embryos, postembryos, and first instars of *P. tepidariorum* are presented, replacing diagrams. The findings on primary lamellar formation in embryos align closely with the histological observations of early 20th-century researchers, including Purcell (1909), Janeck (1909), and Ivanić (1912). This study also details the transition from primary to postembryonic lamellae and the cellular secretory processes responsible for forming alternating air and hemolymph channels. A *P. tepidariorum* culture was maintained using methods consistent with those previously described for this species (Mittmann and Wolff, 2012), with egg sacs and newly hatched spiderlings housed in small petri dishes at 25–30 °C. | AI |
These histograms describe the range and probability distribution of sediment response to a range of climate and land-use scenarios. Due to the use of a model ensemble rather than a single model, the histograms are represented as an envelop curve rather than a single line. In general, the land-use change impact is small compared with the climate change uncertainty range, but certain land-use changes can exacerbate or reduce the impact of climate change systematically. It is very important to note that there is a clear difference between the different land use management options. The response surface plots shown above can be used for exploring combinations of climate change and land use or land management options. | HUMAN |
He seemed to willingly do for (and with) his new wife all the kinds of things he had avoided or had done unwillingly for his ex-wife. It is often nice to have a relationship with someone who has been “broken in” the right way by someone else, but it is rather hurtfully disappointing to have been the one doing the “breaking in” only to have someone else reap the benefits of your work and aggravation at making your (ex-)spouse receptive to your way of doing things. | HUMAN |
Fish are the only vertebrates that exhibit hermaphrodism, which can occur either accidentally, as in cyprinids, herrings, and mackerels, or regularly, as in species like sargue, sparaillon, and serranids. Myxines, a primitive parasitic fish, display sequential hermaphrodism, similar to oysters and ascidians, where the reproductive gland functions first as a testicle and later as an ovary. The amphioxus, a transitional organism between invertebrates and vertebrates, does not exhibit hermaphrodism. The most complex and pronounced forms of hermaphrodism are observed in mollusks, particularly among gastropods. The alternating hermaphrodism of oysters has been noted and studied since ancient times. | AI |
Among RT-elements, bona fide viruses, which have genomes enclosed in virus particles and follow typical infection cycles involving an extracellular phase, represent a minority (Supplementary Table S4). Capsid-less retroelements, in contrast, are present across all major divisions of cellular organisms and are considered ancestral to this entire class of genetic elements. Reverse-transcribing viruses, however, appear to be derived forms that evolved early in the history of eukaryotes (discussed further below). The reproductive strategy of retroviruses (family Retroviridae) shares similarities with RNA viruses, combining features reminiscent of both positive-strand and negative-strand RNA viruses. Retroviruses essentially function as RNA viruses that have developed the ability to convert their RNA into DNA, integrate into the host genome, and subsequently utilize the host's replication and transcription machinery. | AI |
As Ichabod rode along, his attention was drawn to the abundant signs of autumn’s harvest. He noticed apples in various states—some still hanging heavily on the trees, others collected in baskets and barrels for sale, and some piled high for cider-making. Further on, he saw fields of Indian corn, their golden ears peeking out from their husks, hinting at future meals of cakes and pudding. Beneath the cornstalks, yellow pumpkins lay exposed to the sun, their round forms promising rich pies. He also passed fragrant buckwheat fields, their scent reminiscent of beehives, which stirred thoughts of warm pancakes, generously buttered and sweetened with honey or syrup, perhaps served by Katrina Van Tassel’s delicate hands. | AI |
With all of that in mind everyone should now be aware that the majority of casual level to mid-fining privately owned restaurants(the only ones who would be interested in changing the tipping situation in the US - fast food doesn't care, corporations love tipping because it saves them money on staff and they don't care about their employees or community and high end restaurants typically pay their waitstaff) operate on a razor thin profit margin. Any lower prices they will lose money and any higher and they will lose customers. It should be no surprise that when you look at equivalent service and food level restaurants the prices are typically equivalent. In my town you can't charge more then around 20$ for nearly any menu item and maybe 30$ for a steak. | HUMAN |
Recent advances in Representation Learning and Adversarial Training seem to succeed in removing unwanted features from the learned representation. We show that demographic information of authors is encoded in -- and can be recovered from -- the intermediate representations learned by text-based neural classifiers. The implication is that decisions of classifiers trained on textual data are not agnostic to -- and likely condition on -- demographic attributes. When attempting to remove such demographic information using adversarial training, we find that while the adversarial component achieves chance-level development-set accuracy during training, a post-hoc classifier, trained on the encoded sentences from the first part, still manages to reach substantially higher classification accuracies on the same data. This behavior is consistent across several tasks, demographic properties and datasets. | HUMAN |
We have previously observed no differences in either VEGF or fibroblast growth factor 2 content in islet grafts composed of freshly isolated or cultured islets early after transplantation ([@B36]), data that were supported by the present angiogenesis gene array results. However, as discussed above, other differences were discerned, including lower levels of TIMPs early after islet isolation, making it possible for MMP-9 to release more tissue-bound VEGF, compared with previous observations ([@B45]). We also performed Oil Red O stainings of islet graft--bearing livers to investigate whether the increased blood perfusion in hepatic tissue immediately surrounding the implanted islets reflected insulin-induced increases in hepatic metabolism causing lipid accumulation. However, no or very little lipid accumulation occurred in liver parts close to islets and in the rest of the liver. | HUMAN |
I strongly support the emphasis on ensuring genuine market access for small businesses in sectors such as telecommunications, energy, postal services, and transport. This is an important goal, and while efforts are being made, progress has been neither fast nor sufficient.

The Commissioner is aware of my ongoing concerns regarding the costs and implications of these proposals for businesses. | AI |
The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. An explosion and subsequent fire released significant amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere, spreading across much of the western USSR and Europe. It remains the most severe nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of both cost and casualties, classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. Over 500,000 workers were involved in efforts to contain the contamination and prevent further disaster, with costs estimated at £11 billion ($18 billion). The immediate death toll was 31, while long-term health impacts, including cancers and deformities, continue to be studied. | AI |
They have often had very close kind of paternal relationships with their utilities and they feel that they've been cheated. And they are very angry with the power generators, in particular, who they feel are charging them just exorbitant amounts for energy. In particular, there was a company last week, a power generator that said it charged consumers, rather the utilities, 4,000, nearly $4,000 per megawatt hour, which is enough to light a thousand homes for one hour. And when they heard this, they were outraged. They just thought, you know, `How can this be? | HUMAN |
At 19 she got knocked up by an American soldier, and came to America to raise her baby.

She left him and took her daughters back to Korea.

More sustainable production methods and potential for faster progress in the agricultural sector are not included in the CGE models, although these are important for sustainable bioenergy production, for example, by limiting competition for land (e. g. Refs. [127,128]). Incorporating the potential to reduce negative impacts, either via technology or policy interventions, in the CGE models would enable higher quality assessment of the sustainability impacts. For example, for the effects on food security, competition for land plays a major role. One basic assumption of CGE models is that an economy tends towards equilibrium. | HUMAN |
The only purpose of the poor is to reproduce and maybe (if you’re lucky) work, and rewards for work will be meager but better than nothing. The state will provide just enough food to keep them alive, minimal necessities of housing and clothing, just enough entertainment to keep them from rising up en masse; but if they do the armies of robot drones will hold them at bay, and cutting off their food and power will quickly pacify them. There will be no privacy, every movement and every word will be recorded and monitored by AI police, and any hint of dissidence will be eliminated by assassin drones. | HUMAN |
The story is highly credible and realistic, with tight direction and strong performances from the cast. Andy Garcia, who produced this low-budget yet excellent film, has demonstrated a keen eye for selecting quality screenplays, as seen in his earlier work, *The Man from Elysian Fields*. His ability to produce compelling films on a modest budget is noteworthy. However, the Brazilian title, *No Limite do Silêncio* (translated as *In the Limit of the Silence*), feels less fitting for the film. | AI |
Jane, Dan, Ryan and I always got along in the beginning. I was quiet and kept to myself, and things were peaceful. I actually considered Jane my friend for awhile, even though we were pretty much the complete opposites; Jane considers herself Christian, has strong religious and political beliefs, has a strong sense of national pride, likes different styles and music, etc... whereas I consider myself an atheist, do not believe in religion at all, and don't really get involved in politics much. But we get along fairly well. | HUMAN |
Her Majesty's Government is nevertheless a government that wants to take decisions, that wants to reform not only the UK but also the European Union. So I do not see why we have to stick to the old MFF and simply continue with the policies of the past. I think that the time is now ripe to say to the public that it is not by cutting this EU budget of 1% [EU GDP] that we will solve the fiscal consolidation of the different Member States of the European Union. This 1% is only one-fortieth of the total expenditure within the European Union. | HUMAN |
Such is the life on the leper settlement of Molokai; a precipitous cliff at its back two thousand feet high; the ocean, looking here bluer and lovelier than ever I saw it look elsewhere on three sides of it; the soft trade-wind blowing across the lava-covered plain; eternal sunshine; a mild air; horses; and the weekly excitement of the arrival of the schooner from Honolulu with letters. There is sufficient employment for those who can and like to work--and the Hawaiian is not an idle creature; and altogether it is a very contented and happy community. The Islander has strong feelings and affections, but they do not last long, and the people here seemed to me to have made themselves quickly at home. I saw very few sad faces, and there were mirth and laughter, and ready service and pleasant looks all around us, as we rode or walked over the settlement. | HUMAN |
61-41813 provides the silencer such that a piston placed at the inside of the resonance tube slides by a stepping motor corresponding to the engine revolution thereby increasing and/or decreasing the cavity of the resonance chamber, so that such problem can be solved. The invention has the advantage of minimizing the size of the silencer. However, since a tool of the piston type slides riding on a screw rod rotated by the stepping motor, the complex structure can be formed. Especially, the piston can not be rapidly changed immediately when the revolution number of the engine is changed thereby causing the poor efficiency of noise reduction though in a moment. | HUMAN |

In this context, the ID card holds significant importance, with Milan possessing one while Kenan does not, driving the plot to have Kenan disguise himself as a woman to avoid revealing his lack of credentials and risking execution. The film blends cinematic storytelling with the backdrop of historical genocide, creating a tense and unsettling atmosphere, particularly when the newly formed "couple" is welcomed home and a wedding ceremony takes place. Relationships are strained, with little affection shown between characters, as the pervasive fear of war influences every action. The love triangle that emerges later unfolds tragically, as such stories often do. | AI |
One last reason is that while Riot has set up a league that is really quite poor in terms of competition (too few teams, too many games that don't really matter, half the season doesn't matter, 75% of the teams make the playoffs, one of the playoff teams can be relegated, best of three playoff series, refusal to use double elimination in playoffs, numerous fuck ups at huge tournaments going from pre-season one to the issues that I described today) it offers entertainment that requires people to continue to play for them to understand. While I can get the gist of what a hero does and what might be powerful by watching a stream there is still something to be said about actually playing the game. When you also consider that many people tune into streams where they feel like they actually know the players and therefore become emotionally attached to them this adds another layer to why someone might not want to leave league. | HUMAN |

The messages between terrorists are matched against records of British jihadis believed to be fighting in Syria. Crack unit: The SAS troops have undergone intense training for the mission and have now flew to a secret base in the Middle East. The SAS is also rehearsing raids using video footage provided by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones. These aircraft, which can fly for up to 24 hours and can climb to an altitude of 18,000ft, fly over IS strongholds and provide up-to-the-second pictures of the enemy’s hideouts. This live information will play a vital role in any British Special Forces operation to strike Jihadi John and rescue the hostages. | HUMAN |
Nevertheless, nothing could be more opposed to the spirit of the Gospel; which is specially addressed to the poor and humble--"He hath anointed Me to preach to the poor." The Fathers of the early Church did not consider it beneath their genius to write treatises on the manner of communicating religious instruction to the people. The people form nearly the whole of the population. { 8} In France, they number twenty-three out of a total of twenty-five millions; yet, strange to say, they are quite overlooked. The educated two millions appear to have assumed that they constitute France, and that France has so willed it. | HUMAN |
Relations between groups were not always peaceful. Rainforest communities often raided one another, and savanna states maintained strong armies capable of subduing and enslaving their enemies. However, African wars differed from those fought in other regions. Land was abundant and rarely worth fighting over, and while resources like salt or gold mines were valuable, territorial expansion itself held little strategic importance. The main exception to this pattern was the Yoruba city-states in the Niger Delta, which placed significant emphasis on defending and controlling territorial boundaries. | AI |
So he caused the captain of his guard to be dressed in all his own royal robes, down to the famous purple boots, gave him three noble counts for his attendants and a great escort of soldiers, and told him to go and pass himself off on Benedict as the real Totila.

Mr. President, Mrs. Hassi, Commissioner, the topic at hand pertains to the outcomes of the fifth conference on the Kyoto Protocol held in Bonn. As outlined in our motion for a resolution, the results of the Kyoto Protocol fall short in several key areas. Climate change persists, necessitating stricter measures to reduce greenhouse gases by 2010. It has been seven years since the Earth Summit in Rio, where significant commitments were made, yet no substantial positive outcomes have been achieved so far. Unfortunately, a critical element remains absent from this motion. | AI |
I was bottom bar, pool attendant. That basically meant walking in circles on a huge pool deck (indoor, outdoor, lazy river; the whole shebang), telling kids to stop running, picking up trash that ranged from candy wrappers to cups filled with sickly sweet questionable liquids, pushing a huge cart to fill with provided pool towels soaked in tanning oil and bodily fluids and gritty with contraband sand, hosing down slatted pool filter cylinders stained green-black with the remnants of algae growth and caked on dirt and human skin/hair, and, last but certainly not least, cleaning the various spills, puddles and piles resulting from one-too-many drinks, lots of fried food, 100°f weather and that 'don't give a fuck' vacation mentality. | HUMAN |
I know some people might be tired of posts like this, but I need to share this with someone who will listen. I’ve never been a big JRPG player—I enjoy games like Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy X, but those are pretty light on traditional JRPG elements. The more anime-style games, such as Atelier and Tales, never really appealed to me; they always felt a bit bland. That said, Persona shouldn’t have been my thing. I tried Persona 3 Portable and was starting to enjoy it, but after about six hours, I died in battle and lost an hour of progress. I wasn’t willing to replay that section, so I haven’t touched it since. | AI |
With Ronnie, it was a way of cracking jokes and telling stories, and taking an extraordinary interest in the boy's preparatory school, so that its rather small beer came bubbling out in a sparkling brew that Coplestone himself had failed to tap. Then Uvo could talk like an inspired professional about the games he could not play, about books like an author, and about adventures like a born adventurer. In Egypt, moreover, he had seen a little life that went a long way in the telling; conversely, one always felt that he had done a bigger thing or two out there than he pretended. To a small boy, at all events, he was irresistible. Had he been an usher at a school like Ronnie's he would have had a string of them on either arm at every turn. | HUMAN |
Including SDP at varying levels and durations in the starter diet improved body weight, feed conversion, and reduced mortality in broilers. Supplementing SDP during the starter phase enhances overall broiler performance. However, the response to SDP supplementation may vary depending on factors such as disease presence, stress levels, and their impact on immune function and intestinal health. Previous studies have evaluated different SDP levels and feeding durations in both low- and high-stress production environments, indicating that the optimal SDP inclusion and duration depend on the intensity of these challenges. | AI |
After reviewing the email and the comments here, another point about the title that came to mind is that projects like GIMP, LibreOffice, Linux, GNOME, and KDE demonstrate the potential of truly free and open-source software. They serve as significant examples and inspire others to undertake similarly complex, long-term efforts in various fields. A GIMP developer, for instance, contributes not just to GIMP but also to broader impacts that extend beyond the project itself.

Kim, Citizens requires confirmation from ENA regarding deliveries to the TW/Griffith interconnect for the following dates: On July 17, PPL states they purchased gas from Enron after 8:30 AM. Citizens has billed PPL for these deliveries, but PPL has recorded the transaction as a purchase from Enron in their system and requests that Enron bill them directly. Is this arrangement acceptable to Enron? On July 26, PPL claims they purchased gas after 8:30 AM from a third party, Texaco, in the basin and transported it under the Citizens/PPL agreement.

Efforts to confirm the existence of dynamically established black holes were prioritized over studying radio emissions from stellar-mass black holes. Progress in understanding jet production in X-ray binaries emerged with the discovery of the "microquasar phenomenon," which renewed interest in these systems, combined with the capabilities of missions like CGRO and RXTE to monitor X-ray binary fluxes intensively. This allowed researchers to build on Tananbaum's initial findings and explore the relationship between X-ray and radio emissions. Observations during transitions from hard to soft states often revealed high-luminosity, high-velocity jet ejections (e.g., Mirabel & Rodriguez 1994; Hjellming & Rupen 1995). A plausible explanation is that jet velocity correlates with the escape speed at the inner edge of the accretion disk. As state transitions occur, the inner disk edge moves inward, increasing jet velocity and causing newer, faster jet material to collide with older, slower material ejected during prolonged low/hard states, producing external shocks (Vadawale et al. 2003; Fender, Belloni & Gallo 2003). | AI |
The Gospel, which emphasizes reaching the poor and humble, stands in stark contrast to this approach, as it declares, "He hath anointed Me to preach to the poor." Early Church Fathers saw no issue in dedicating their efforts to writing guides on how to effectively teach religious principles to the broader population. The majority of society consists of ordinary people, who make up nearly the entire population. In France, for example, they account for twenty-three out of twenty-five million individuals. Despite this, they are often neglected, as the educated minority of two million seems to have taken it upon themselves to represent the nation, as if this were the natural order of things. | AI |
Sophie keeps it classic but adds an up-to-date edge by subtly following tone and shade trends in her lip and blush and also the finish on her skin. ' This could mean making her look slightly more dewy or matte, using different shades of peach or pink nudes on lips and livening the whole thing up by adding a pop of soft pink or peach on the cheeks. ' Eyes are kept to a minimum but with definition. You will notice Sophie generally keeps most of the eye make-up to the top lid - this is a great way of keeping a look more natural.' Her embrace of nude make-up echoes the soft palette that dominates her wardrobe. | HUMAN |
Once formed, a black hole will decay through the emission of Hawking radiation. The ultimate fate of the black hole remains uncertain, as quantum gravity effects become significant when its mass approaches the Planck scale. If black holes are produced at the LHC, their detection would not only test general relativity and explore extra dimensions but also provide insights into quantum gravity. Initial discussions on black hole production in colliders proposed a cross-section of the form πR²_S, where R_S is the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole formed during parton scattering. Classical general relativity-based calculations have made limited progress in refining these cross-section estimates. Factors such as mass, spin, charge, color, and the finite size of incoming particles are often overlooked, though finite size effects have been studied, and only recently have charge and spin been considered. | AI |
This anthology of New York poetry begins and ends with selections from Walt Whitman, honoring both the city’s historical significance and its contemporary allure. The early poems are organized chronologically, featuring moments such as Verrazano’s arrival in New York Harbor, Hudson’s final voyage, an epitaph for Peter Stuyvesant, and a time when Broadway was a rural path. The later poems are grouped by location, including Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Washington Square, and Broadway. Among the modern poets featured are Sara Teasdale, Chester Firkins, Dana Burnet, Ruth Comfort Mitchell, James Oppenheim, and Edward Arlington Robinson. | AI |

As construction progresses, the gap between gas and electricity prices fluctuates, allowing Duke to adjust its strategy by selling more output if prices rise or securing future profits on electricity not yet generated. Duke applied this approach with two "peaker" plants in Indiana and Ohio, locking in first-year profits before construction finished. If market conditions become overly competitive, Duke may opt to sell the plant entirely, as it did in Hidalgo, Texas, where it sold a majority stake in a 500-megawatt plant to Calpine for $235 million in 2000, just three months before completion. Additionally, Duke halted five other projects due to excessive overbuilding. | AI |
