Virginians, along with a small group of Mingo warriors, were tasked with building a fort at the site. Upon arriving at the confluence of the rivers, they discovered that the French had already constructed their own fort there. Washington and his men retreated and set up camp; the following morning, they ambushed a small French detachment, resulting in numerous casualties. This encounter, known as the Battle of Jumonville Glen after French commander Joseph Coulon de Villers de Jumonville, marked the first clash of the French and Indian War. While it was technically a British victory, the mission was poorly executed, tarnishing Washington’s reputation and leaving him humiliated. | AI |
The symptoms of mitochondrial disease are usually progressive in body systems where the cells have a high demand for energy, such as brain cells. Source: The Lily Foundation. ' Corah's mind works perfectly fine so it's such a shame that at 16-years-old she relies on me to wash and dress her. ' We are just trying to make sure she has the best quality of life while she's still with us.' Doctors were at first baffled by Corah's symptoms but just one month later her parents were told the devastating news. | HUMAN |
If the incumbrance had been identified as a mechanic’s lien, the defendant might have been able to demonstrate its invalidity. However, as the indictment was framed, the respondent was forced to proceed to trial without being informed of the specific charge the prosecution intended to pursue. The indictment should have clearly outlined the representations made, their alleged falsity, and the facts intended to prove such falsity. It is established that an indictment based on a statute must include all relevant facts and circumstances that define the statutory offense, ensuring the accused is precisely within the statute’s provisions. This principle is supported by cases such as *People v. Allen*, 5 Denio, 76-79, and *People v. Court of Oyer and Terminer*, 83 N.Y. 438-448. | AI |
In 1996, Team LeMans acquired a former IMSA Nissan 300ZX-GTS to compete in the newly renamed GT500 class. Drivers Kageyama and series newcomer Yuji Tachikawa secured a top-10 finish in the final round at Mine Circuit, ending the season 25th in the drivers' standings. Tachikawa remained with the team for 1997, joined by Tsuyoshi Takahashi, who replaced Kageyama after he moved to SARD. The team achieved a 10th-place finish in the season opener at Suzuka, but a practice crash at Fuji in the following round destroyed their 300ZX-GTS, forcing them to withdraw from the remainder of the season. | AI |
Horrendous acting, and peculiar pacing are only some of the glaring crimes. Vaguely you could make the case for this being about gluttony and vanity, or that Ripstein breaks with "Hollywood" conventions by having an actors and actresses with unconventional faces...but those conventions have been shattered properly many times with films far more engaging or entertaining than this. Potential spoilers follow, but the film is already spoiled enough and anything but profound, although definitely steeped in crimson blood. Please see something from one of the other films I've reviewed positively here. ***light spoilers*** What is the point of having Coral toy with redemption in the last of the crimes in their murder spree? | HUMAN |
The US does not have a free market in health care, and hasn't since at least World War II, when employers started providing health benefits to attract workers because they were unable to offer higher wages (wages were regulated by the government during the war). A free market would mean everyone sees all of the costs of the health care they receive, and weighs the costs against the expected benefits, and only buys health care for which the expected benefits exceed the costs. Nobody that participates in employer-provided health care (which is most workers in the US) does that; the only costs they see are their portion of the premiums and their copays, so they want whatever health care has a benefit to them that exceeds those costs. | HUMAN |
Plaintiff Akerson recognized the necessity of additional support in the media and creative sectors to fulfill Ford’s new requirements, leading him to engage Defendant as a "supplier" to provide the required assistance. See id. at ¶ 21. This need resulted in the first letter agreement involving Plaintiff AAMI, Defendant, and UFDAA. See id. and Exhibit “A” attached thereto. The agreement aimed to maintain Plaintiff AAMI’s viability across all areas while allowing Defendant and Plaintiff Akerson to negotiate terms acceptable to all parties involved. | AI |
Sofia flashing her new engagement ring while on holiday with Joe Manganiello in Hawaii this week. The insider added: 'This wasn't spontaneous. Joe definitely planned ahead and contacted the hotel weeks in advance to discuss certain things he wanted to do. ' He didn't want to propose in a public setting, even though there are so many beautiful spots on the hotel grounds that have spectacular views and are well-known as places where people pop the question. But Joe said he didn't want to risk anyone walking by and witnessing it, and he didn't want to tip off Sofia by having security there shooing people away.' | HUMAN |
An advertising agency specializing in mobile ads faced backlash after its stunt led police to deploy patrols to collect and impound vehicles until the provocative images were removed. Ildar Yuriev, a 35-year-old motorist, recounted being on his way to a business meeting when he noticed a truck displaying a large image of breasts on its side. Moments later, the car behind him collided with his vehicle, with the driver admitting to being distracted by the truck. The incident delayed Yuriev, left his car in the garage, and resulted in financial losses despite his insurance coverage. Reports indicate that angry drivers across Moscow have flooded the agency with compensation claims. | AI |
The White House team developing a national energy plan has met with more than 130 interest groups, from environmentalists and unions often at odds with Republicans to major Bush supporters. Vice President Dick Cheney, Cabinet secretaries and others have solicited ideas behind closed doors, hoping the privacy would encourage a free exchange of ideas. The White House has declined to provide names of participants even to Congress. But interviews with participants detail an outreach program where diverse interests have met with task force executive director Andrew Lundquist. Cheney's time has been reserved for meetings with more select participants such as power wholesaler Enron Corp. and the Edison Electric Institute, both GOP donors. | HUMAN |
At my workplace, there’s a team focused on developing tools and processes that operate primarily on a large server farm. Their work involves high-performance, high-throughput systems for data delivery and media transcoding. They are highly skilled in C++ and prefer to build most of their software from scratch, avoiding off-the-shelf solutions like databases or third-party libraries due to concerns about scalability and performance. While they do use some C++ standard libraries, their expertise lies in creating minimal, lightweight programs designed to run efficiently on servers without a graphical interface. | AI |
However, and Foucault talks about it in his work about human sexuality, this all changed because of the Reformation and the spread of liberal and scientific ideas. Luther abolished the monasteries and talked about each and every person becoming his own priest - and that extends to sexuality as well. If you read a bit about the American Puritans, for example, you can see how obsessed they were about self control, especially in terms of sex. In that environment, sex was becoming something not only forbidden, but somewhat inherently wrong on an individual level -it's not enough that there's a monk somewhere not having sex, you yourself should limit and control yourself. | HUMAN |
Artists from Art F City have posed naked as pandas for their calendar in a bid to raise funds to keep their blog running. Entitled 'Artists as Pandas in the Nude,' and photographed by Rachel Stern, it is said to feature notable artists, dealers and writers. The saucy shoot was reportedly inspired by the switching off of the popular 'panda cam' at Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, US. The live feed of the zoo's famous resident, Mei Xiang, went down just days after she delivered her cub Bao Bao, due to a US Government shut down last year. In a bid to beat the blackout the artists performed panda related activities 24-hours-a-day, which they then streamed live on their website. ' | HUMAN |
Eddie Redmayne, who had recently been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, became the center of attention at a high-profile Hollywood event. Surrounded by notable figures such as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain, and Emily Blunt, the British actor was the primary focus of conversation. Jolie, in particular, praised Redmayne for his portrayal of physicist Stephen Hawking in *The Theory of Everything*, a role for which he had just won a Golden Globe. The event, which took place during the 2015 Critics' Choice Awards, highlighted Redmayne's rising prominence in the industry. | AI |
The group had yet to see any clear sign of how the afternoon's conference might conclude. If anything, there was a subdued sense of anticipation in his demeanor. However, the moment was nearing when he would have to confront Mrs. Bloodgood directly. She had positioned herself to be the last person he greeted, perhaps to gather her composure or to engage him more immediately. Majendie quickly recognized the risk in her approach and, with a word to Mrs. Kildair beside him, maneuvered himself to the opposite side of the group, which included Mrs. Cheever and Garraboy. | AI |
The land was divided among the chiefs in a way that ensured each could access the resources necessary for their survival and that of their followers. This included taro fields, fishing areas, mulberry trees for making tapa, and timber for building canoes. They also needed ti leaves for wrapping items and specific flowers for crafting leis, or flower necklaces. Modern surveys of these traditional land divisions often show irregular boundaries, sometimes even including isolated patches, as straight lines from mountain to sea would exclude certain resources, even minor ones like the yellow flowers used for leis. | AI |
A district judge agreed, dismissing the case before trial, and the high court upheld that ruling. Mansfield noted that Knight had an all-female workforce and Nelson was replaced by a woman. He said the decision was in line with state and federal court rulings that found workers can be fired for relationships that cause jealousy and tension within a business owner's family. One such case from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a business owner's firing of a valued employee who was seen by his wife as a threat to their marriage. In that case, the fired employee had engaged in flirtatious conduct. | HUMAN |
Jim Crow segregation in both the civilian and military sectors remained a problem for black women who wanted to join the war effort. Even after President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802 in 1941, supervisors who hired black women still often relegated them to the most menial tasks on factory floors. Segregation was further upheld in factory lunchrooms, and many black women were forced to work at night to keep them separate from whites. In the military, only the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps and the Nurse Corps Reserves accepted black women for active service, and the army set a limited quota of 10 percent of total end strength for black female officers and enlisted women and segregated black units on active duty. The American Red Cross, meanwhile, recruited only four hundred black nurses for the Army and Navy Nurse Corps Reserves, and black army and navy nurses worked in segregated military hospitals on bases stateside and overseas. | HUMAN |
This, however, Mr Karas, should not reduce the legal certainty for companies. In order to ensure this, the Commission is clarifying its present substantive rules. We have already done so for distribution - vertical agreements - and we are now doing it for horizontal agreements. Our block exemption regulations and notices will give companies more certainty on the contents of our rules and in self-assessing their agreements in the spirit of an overall modernisation effort. This cannot be considered a renationalisation of competition policy but, more than in the past, it will benefit from the cooperation of the national in the cooperation of the national competition authorities and the national courts in the general effort of applying EC competition rules. | HUMAN |
This mode of selection has almost certainly given us a biased sample of paraphysomonad diversity – against smaller, unstalked cells or irregular-shaped ones, or any (if such exist) without a short cilium, and could be one reason why we obtained so many Paraphysomonas and only one Clathromonas, which was found only later in the project when we targeted smaller cells to see if this would yield other scale types. The rarity of Clathromonadidae in our cultures might in part be because they are harder to culture under our conditions, possibly because they need algal food, but that is pure conjecture. In future it should be possible to obtain many more clathromonad cultures for combined TEM/sequencing studies similar to ours for Paraphysomonas, since Preisig and Hibberd (1982a,b) obtained several uniprotist cultures of six species that we assign to Clathromonas. Sequences are now desirable for a greater morphological diversity of Clathromonas to test the unity of Clathromonadidae. Very few Paraphysomonas had previously been studied live in the light microscope (Lucas, 1967, 1968; Leadbeater, 1972; Pennick and Clarke, 1972, 1973; Rees et al. | HUMAN |
The Higgs mechanism is based on the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Higgs field is unique in that its lowest energy state does not align with its state when it has no excitations. As a result, the high-energy vacuum of the early universe can transition to a lower energy state, known as the "true" vacuum, by generating excitations in the Higgs field. This process has two key effects. First, it disrupts the internal symmetry of the particles mediating the electroweak interaction, which unifies electromagnetic and weak forces. Consequently, three out of the four mediating particles acquire significant mass. | AI |
Appellant now contends that attending the party was “simple fraternization” and should not have been made the subject of a criminal prosecution.6 In his view, there no longer exists “a custom of the service” prohibiting social intercourse between officers and enlisted persons; and certain relationships between officers and enlisted persons — although once absolutely forbidden — are now allowed. Adames claims that this relaxation of custom, coupled with erratic, if any, enforcement of sanctions, precludes prosecution of his conduct because of the absence of notice that it might be criminal. | HUMAN |
Hugh, who saw what they were doing, nodded approval, and presently they all climbed into the saddles, and Hugh leading the way, they crossed the little brook which flowed out from the lake and headed toward the point of the mountain which they hoped to climb. Before they had reached it Hugh found a game trail and followed it, for he knew, as all mountain men do, that game always selects the easiest road across natural obstacles. The climb was neither steep nor long, though it was a little slippery, for the upper end of the trail was wet with snow that had just melted. When they emerged on top of the shoulder, they could see extending up the valley before them a long level snow bank, while to the right the steep slope was everywhere strewn with huge boulders and rock fragments that had rolled down from the mountainside; some in past ages and some very recently. | HUMAN |
Conflict in this region differed from that in the eastern woodlands in both familiarity and form. One study notes that the harsh living conditions in the North prevented full-scale wars, with interactions between Amerindians and Inuit often limited to immediate violence or raids rather than organized military campaigns. However, another scholar highlights the strategic advantage the Cree gained through access to British firearms, which they used effectively against groups like the Chipewyan and other Athabascan-speaking peoples. | AI |
"For the first couple years that you are making stuff. It's trying to be good, it has a mission to be good. But your taste, the thing that got you into that game is still killer, and your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you are making is still sort of a disappointment to you, that it's crappy. A lot of people never get past that phase, a lot of people at that point they quit. The thing I would just like to say with you with all my heart is that most everyone I know who does interesting creative work went through a phase of years" | HUMAN |
“Hoping?” Yes, hoping—I use the term intentionally. Once immersed in hospital life, your perspective shifts, and your primary focus becomes receiving, nursing, and observing the most severe cases; this is the essence of the hospital spirit, and you cannot avoid absorbing it. Monday through Friday passed with only a few admissions each day, none seriously injured or requiring intensive care. For those driven by a fervent desire to repay their gratitude to the men who, in a very real sense, defended their homes, this has been somewhat disappointing. We have, however, had the pleasure of visits from old friends who were lightly wounded in the fight and have since been transferred to other hospitals. | AI |
I found myself drawn in by the film, largely due to director Gregory Hoblit’s ability to craft suspense through steady, controlled pacing. However, this tension quickly unravels as the movie delves into excessively graphic depictions of torture, reminiscent of films like *Saw* and *Hostel*. A significant letdown is the lack of a compelling twist, as the killer’s identity is revealed early on, and their motivations feel underdeveloped and unconvincing. As I reflect on the film, numerous questions arise—about logic, plausibility, and narrative coherence—that remain unresolved. Additionally, the story’s tone struck me as contradictory, seemingly critiquing society’s fascination with violent, exploitative content while simultaneously indulging in it. | AI |
The film features a mix of unlikable, chauvinistic human characters and apes who follow a "See, do" mentality. On a positive note, the actors in ape costumes set a new standard for realistic simian movements. Roddy McDowall, portraying Caesar, the only talking ape, resembles the defiant leader-pig from Orwell's *Animal Farm*, outraged by the mistreatment of his fellow apes by humans but willing to resort to harsh, even cruel methods to secure dominance. Ricardo Montalban delivers a strong performance as Armando, Caesar's sole human ally, though his screen time is limited and sporadic. Natalie Trundy, a recurring presence in the series, attempts to convey depth through her mute chimpanzee role, but her efforts fall short of making a significant impact. | AI |
Intracellularly, GrK may cleave a variety of substrates, such as the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP), HMG2, and Ape1 in the ER-associated SET complex, along with other targets that have downstream cytotoxic effects. Compared to in vitro studies of GrK cytotoxicity in rats and humans, in vitro mouse studies show no cytotoxic potential in the absence of perforin, making the role of GrK controversial. In vitro studies show potential extracellular targets for GrK such as the cleavage and activation of protease activated receptors (PAR)-1 and PAR-2. Grk binds lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in vitro separately from GrK's catalytic activity. Both PAR and LPS activation by GrK induce cytokine production in human in vitro studies. | HUMAN |
The scientists took time lapse photographs of lollipops as they dissolved in flows of water with the images above showing how a sphere of 6 cm looked after an hour (image a). They found that the turbulence created in the flow of water (images b and c) caused the back of the candy to flatten and the top to be smooth (d) This means that the average Chupa Chups lolly - which measures around 2.5cm (one inch) in diameter - would take about 2,500 licks to dissolve. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have created a 'digital lollipop', which uses electric currents to transmit virtual tastes straight to your tastebuds. The device has echoes of Roald Dahl's fictional Everlasting Gobstopper, which never runs out, and the Chewing Gum Meal, which had several different flavours packed into one piece of gum. All of the four major taste groups - sweet, salty, bitter and sour - can be mimicked through a silver electrode which makes contact with the tongue. | HUMAN |
Saw this as previous viewer by accident, I have watched it twice now. I thoroughly enjoyed it, no silly thought provoking messages just plain good fun entertainment, good songs, good characters and a just a feel good film Highly recommended to those of us that just like to enjoy films and not dissect them Great Fun for all the family here. I didn't realise Rosie Alvarez is played by Vanessa Williams, she is excellent and very sultry. The songs like One Boy and One last Kiss are really enjoyable to listen to and to tap your feet to Jason Alexander is the complete contrast to his character in Pretty Woman ans is very good. Tyne Daley still sticks in my mind from Cagney and Lacey and her voice and accent still had that remembrance in it. | HUMAN |
Election cases often involve balancing competing priorities: courts must ensure candidate eligibility and ballot access, strictly adhere to the Legislature’s intent as expressed in the clear language of statutes, and strive to achieve a fair and reasonable outcome as mandated by the Code Construction Act. See Davis v. Taylor, 930 S.W.2d 581, 583 (Tex. 1996). The Election Code’s mandatory requirements, often framed with terms like "must" and "shall," can lead to strict consequences, potentially excluding applicants from the ballot if they fail to include all specified elements in their applications and petitions. See, e.g., TEX. ELEC. | AI |
A further topic is external energy policy. We call for the gradual building of a common external energy policy. On the subject of Afghanistan, parallel to improving the security situation, we need to provide adequate funding for the civilian reconstruction effort - this is the only way to win the hearts and minds of the people there in the long term. Regarding Africa, the major EU-Africa Summit is due to be held in Lisbon in December 2007, and it is likely that the decisions we take there will have to be followed by action - which is very important also in terms of helping African forces settle African conflicts using African means. We must also send out political signals in this spirit. | HUMAN |
This was only his second film as a director, so there’s a chance he could improve and create better work in the future. If you’re reading this later and wondering whether this early film by a now-famous director is worth your time, the answer depends on his future success. If he becomes well-regarded, you might watch this as a curiosity to see how he started, though it’s not particularly strong. Otherwise, this movie isn’t especially worth watching unless you’re deeply interested in filmmaking and want to study how to make otherwise dull introductory scenes more engaging. | AI |
So basically, the Ecclesiarchy would brand him as a heretic and a witch and the High Lords would make him public enemy number 1. This wouldn't stop him, thankfully. Anybody who saw him in the flesh or heard him speak would realize him for what he is, which is the embodiment and perfection of humanity itself. Only the most stalwart assassins, indoctrinated that his words are lies and his beaming presence is a false projection of a whispering Chaos god, would dare stand against him in his presence. | HUMAN |
We are strongly motivated to achieve this goal through the application of theoretical physics. It is important to note that the current model is not based on gauge field theory. The SHO model is distinctive in its approach, as it serves as a model for Hodge theory without relying heavily on Dirac’s first-class constraints or the associated local and continuous gauge symmetries. The structure of this paper is outlined as follows: in section two, we review the fundamental aspects of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of the SHO to establish the necessary notations and conventions. | AI |
His wayward disposition to depreciate ostensibly his own department of action, leads him to write upon the 'disadvantages of intellectual superiority,' and to maintain the thesis that the glory of the Indian jugglers is more desirable than that of a statesman. And perhaps the same sentiment, mingled with sheer artistic love of the physically beautiful, prompts his eloquence upon the game of fives--in which he praises the great player Cavanagh as warmly, and describes his last moments as pathetically, as if he were talking of Rousseau--and still more his immortal essay on the fight between the Gasman and Bill Neate. Prize-fighting is fortunately fallen into hopeless decay, and we are pretty well ashamed of the last flicker of enthusiasm created by Sayers and Heenan. We may therefore enjoy without remorse the prose-poem in which Hazlitt kindles with genuine enthusiasm to describe the fearful glories of the great battle. Even to one who hates the most brutalising of amusements, the spirit of the writer is impressibly contagious. | HUMAN |
The plaintiffs initiated this action to seek damages for injuries Ronald Robertson sustained after slipping and falling outside the entrance to the defendants’ residence. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants were negligent in allowing ice to accumulate in the area and that they had both actual and constructive notice of the hazardous condition. We concur with the defendants that the Supreme Court correctly granted their motion for summary judgment regarding the claim of actual notice. The defendants met their burden by providing evidence that they were on vacation at the time of the incident and were unaware of the condition, and the plaintiffs failed to present evidence to dispute this. However, we agree with the plaintiffs that the court appropriately denied the defendants’ motion for summary judgment concerning the claim of constructive notice. | AI |
In Brazil, the first draft of what would become the future CPI dates back to the time of the Empire, amid the Paraguayan War. The Senate studied the creation of a commission, similar to the current CPIs, to investigate alleged failures of the Brazilian government in the military conflict with the neighboring country. The request was presented in 1867, when the war was two and a half years old, by Senator Silveira da Mota. According to him, the Senate needed to investigate why the combat was consuming so much money from the public coffers and peace was not being achieved. After heated debates at the Palácio do Conde dos Arcos, the headquarters of the imperial Senate in Rio de Janeiro, the senators decided to bury the proposal. | HUMAN |
The names themselves were introduced later, intensifying a conflict that had actually begun a century earlier, in 1115, following the death of Matilda. To the extent that Guelf and Ghibelline represented a clash between the commune of merchants and traders and a military aristocracy of Teutonic origin with feudal and imperial ambitions, the division was already evident in the earlier struggle between the Uberti and the Consuls. This development, however, accelerated the conflict, leading to fifty years of continuous strife. Dante, through Cacciaguida in _Paradiso_ XVI., reflects on this tragedy in his characteristic manner, referring to it as the downfall of old Florence. | AI |
Did the creators of this mess not watch the original Ring movie? Samara spent years at the bottom of that supposedly "sealed" well, yet she had no trouble emerging whenever she wanted. At the end of the film, Rachel believes sealing the well will stop Samara, but wasn’t she the one who unsealed it in the first place? Why would sealing it now make any difference? Additionally, when has Samara ever struggled to locate someone she was targeting? | AI |
In your career you may have to write a project proposal that focuses on a particular problem in your company, such as reinforcing the tardiness policy. The proposal would aim to fix the problem; using a thesis statement would clearly state the boundaries of the problem and tell the goals of the project. After writing the proposal, you may find that the thesis needs revision to reflect exactly what is expressed in the body. Using the techniques from this chapter would apply to revising that thesis. | HUMAN |
Also known as 'face-blindness', the severity of the condition depends on the degree of impairment a person suffers. Some people with prosopagnosia may only struggle to recognise a familiar face, while others will be unable to discriminate between unknown faces, and in more severe cases sufferers cannot distinguish a face as being different from an object. Some sufferers are unable to recognise their own faces. The condition is not related to memory loss, impaired vision or learning disabilities. It is thought to be the result of abnormalities, damage, or impairment in the right fusiform gyrus - a fold in the brain that appears to coordinate facial perception and memory. | HUMAN |

The relevant literature on OER using carbon electrodes is summarized in Table S1. Carbon materials doped with heteroatoms [5], [6,7] or those with surface oxidation [8,9] exhibit strong electrochemical performance for OER, often comparable to metal(oxide) catalysts. Significant research is also focused on identifying catalytic sites for ORR and OER on carbon materials by examining surface changes before and after reactions [5,10]. While carbon materials show potential as metal-free catalysts due to their electrocatalytic activity, their instability under operational conditions is often overlooked, despite the standard potential for carbon oxidation reactions being 0. | AI |
The place felt enormous to me, as did the older boys. Looking back, it’s odd to recall how intimidating 12-year-olds seemed at the time. We slept in dormitories on creaky, sagging beds and learned to quiet down when we heard the matron, Mrs. Ford, approaching, her high heels clicking sharply on the wooden floors. The headmaster, Mr. Porch, had a somewhat intimidating appearance but a good sense of humor. When he came to the dorms to say goodnight, we would set traps above the door, causing books and shoes to tumble down onto his bald head as he entered. | AI |
Nicola described the process as painless, noting that while some donors feel extremely tired afterward, he experienced no such fatigue. His donated cells were immediately flown to London, as the transplant needed to occur within 48 hours due to the cells' 72-hour lifespan. Sue underwent high-dose chemotherapy to eliminate her immune system, ensuring her body would accept the new cells. Despite her donor being a perfect match, the procedure still carried a 20 percent risk of death, primarily from infection or cell rejection. The transplant, which took place on November 25, 2011, was similar to a standard blood transfusion, according to Sue. | AI |
So a typical solution is to give everyone three or four years to vest and everyone agree that any shares that are unvested can be repurchased by the remaining partners at the original price. Also, make sure that everyone agrees to a right-of-first-refusal and a co-sale arrangement so that if one partner decides to sell his/her vested shares, everyone else has the right to either buy the shares or to sell part of their own vested shares to the same outside buyer at the same time. | HUMAN |
In theory, reductionism holds significant explanatory power as long as it remains provisional. However, in practice, it often becomes an unproven and unwarranted metaphysical assumption. Over the past century, many critics, such as Husserl and Bergson, have challenged this tendency, though their critiques have largely been overlooked. Among these thinkers, Hans Jonas, a lesser-known student of both Husserl and Heidegger, has been particularly insightful for me. His work *The Phenomenon of Life* offers a rigorous critique of reductionism while maintaining a strong respect for science and avoiding entanglement in religious or atheistic debates. | AI |
The Informers focuses on a group of upper-class individuals who struggle with personal and interpersonal disconnection. With a large ensemble of characters and Bret Easton Ellis's signature cynical tone, the narrative takes considerable time to establish any meaningful connection to its characters, and their development feels underwhelming. While fans of Ellis's work or his adaptations might approach this as a completist effort, the film offers only a few memorable moments, such as its conclusion, with much of the story falling flat. Director Gregor Jordan, whose earlier work like *Two Hands* showed promise despite limited resources, seems to have lost his creative direction here, failing to deliver a cohesive or compelling structure. | AI |
After several months of ongoing tension, he reached a breaking point and called me one night in tears, asking if Jesus was still my savior. He expressed that if anything happened to me, he wouldn’t be able to cope knowing I wasn’t saved. To preserve our relationship, I now stay silent and nod when he brings it up. It’s difficult to remain quiet because I struggle to reconcile how someone I respect and admire, who raised me, can believe in something I find so clearly untrue. It’s also challenging when I share details about my work as a programmer, and instead of marveling at the possibilities of technology, he doesn’t respond with the enthusiasm I’d expect. | AI |
Longitudinal magnetization, (M∥), measurements were made down to 0.5 K in applied magnetic fields of up to 70 kOe using a Quantum Design Magnetic Properties Measurement System SQuID magnetometer along with an i-Quantum 3He insert.18 The magnetization was measured both as a function of temperature in a constant magnetic field and as a function of applied field at constant temperature. Because of the relatively large magnetic moments observed, demagnetization effects had to be taken into consideration. Transverse magnetization, (M⊥), measurements were performed using a homemade capacitance torquemeter mounted in a 3He cryostat with a base temperature of 0.4 K. The sensor element was a flat capacitor formed by a rigid base and a flexible bronze cantilever with the sample attached. The cantilever was aligned parallel to the external magnetic field. The torque T = M⊥× H, caused by the magnetization component normal to the capacitor plates, leads to a bending of the cantilever and to a change in the sensor capacitance. | HUMAN |
It is important to note that the greatest threat to young people may not come from traditional media like television or radio, but rather from the internet. Online advertising is particularly aggressive and has the potential to cause significant harm to its targeted audience. Some companies go as far as disregarding personal data and exploiting social networking sites to invade privacy. Such practices must be strictly prohibited and penalized. This issue calls for collective action within the European Union to address and regulate these harmful activities. | AI |
Learning terminology — what do “contrapositive” and “converse” mean — comes easily to most students. Your challenge in the course is to teach them how to read definitions closely, and then how to manipulate them. This is much harder when there is no concrete image that students can keep in mind. Vectors in Rn, for example, are more intimidating than in R3, not because of any great inherent increase in complexity, but because they are harder to think of geometrically, so students must trust the algebra alone. This trust takes time to build. | HUMAN |
I am looking for recipes to brew in the next few months that will age well until August and also taste right for the season. Since I need so many batches, I am looking to get a variety of selections to appeal to many different tastes. As I get closer to the big day I will be working with hoppier recipes to maximize freshness. My last batch will be an all-citra black IPA I have been working on that I am feeling good about.

I am currently studying the pulp market and its operations, with a focus on analyzing the FOEX index and its methodology. I have reviewed one of your presentations from the U.S., but I am seeking more detailed information.

In 1249, Shajar al-Durr, the widow of as-Salih Ayyub, commissioned the construction of a mausoleum for her late husband next to his madrasa. This act initiated a medieval Islamic practice of interring patrons within the religious institutions they established. The Salihiyya Madrasa, which trained Sunni faqih (judges or experts in jurisprudence), gained prominence as the "citadel of the scholars (ulema)." Historical records, including al-Maqrizi's map, indicate that there were 24 madrasas in Ayyubid Cairo. However, only the Madrasa of Al-Saleh and Madrasa al-Kamil remain today, as the others have not survived. | AI |
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif recently discussed the cases of Americans detained by Iran, though no resolution was achieved. The Obama administration reiterated its call for their release, with spokesperson Josh Earnest describing the dual challenges of addressing the hostage cases alongside nuclear negotiations as a complex and significant policy issue for the U.S. government. Among the detainees are Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian, an Iranian-American, as well as Amir Hekmati, Saeed Abedini, and Robert Levinson. Levinson is officially classified as missing, as Iran has not acknowledged his detention. Hekmati has been held since August 2011 on what the U.S. State Department describes as false espionage charges during a visit to see family in Iran. | AI |
The deposition of foraminifera in sediments provides historical data, enabling comparisons between past and present conditions to assess the impact of oil pollution. In this study, the vertical distribution of foraminifera was used to identify bioindicator species, allowing for the examination of potential changes at individual sampling stations. The results showed variations in community structure across different sediment layers, with a general increase in arenaceous types and a decrease in hyaline forms from deeper to shallower layers. By selecting bioindicator species from each sediment depth, a local FIEI index was developed to investigate historical changes in environmental conditions, particularly oil pollution, in the Bohai Sea. Different foraminiferal species exhibited varying responses to oil pollution. | AI |
I recently had a detailed conversation with my parents about joining the military, which has been my backup plan if college didn’t work out. They’re aware I’m gay and are supportive, but my struggles in school are due to my own issues—laziness, along with problems involving drugs and alcohol. I failed my second quarter, can no longer afford tuition, and I’m exhausted by my current habits. Joining the military, particularly the Navy, seems like it could provide more than just financial stability; it might help me get my life on track. | AI |
On 17 February 2019, at the fifth ANO party conference, Babis was re-elected chairman unopposed, with 206 votes from the 238 delegates present. Babiš was received by President Trump on 7 March 2019 at the White House in Washington, D.C., on his first official visit to the United States. Before the start of bilateral talks, Babiš stated that the alliance between the United States and the Czech Republic had been going on for 100 years since the establishment of Czechoslovakia. He also mentioned the fact that the wife of President T.G. Masaryk was an American. The two leaders discussed topics such as cyber security, the purchase of helicopters for the Czech Army, the possible construction of nuclear power stations in the Czech Republic, and the import of American liquefied gas into Europe. | HUMAN |

Angel di Maria sustained a 'small tear' to his hamstring against Hull City, according to his wife Jorgelina Cardoso. The Manchester United star limped off at Old Trafford just 14 minutes into the 3-0 victory over the Tigers on Saturday. Boss Louis van Gaal had revealed Di Maria would 'not be out for six months' straight after the Hull match, but confirmed his £60million summer signing would miss Stoke City's visit to Old Trafford on Tuesday. Manchester United winger Angel di Maria was forced off with a hamstring injury against Hull City. Di Maria's wife Jorgelina Cardoso replied to a United fan's direct message on Instagram to say Di Maria had sustained 'Hay un pequeno desgarro' ('a small tear') to his hamstring during the victory over Hull. | HUMAN |
Jonathan Glazer’s direction is masterful, creating a tense, suffocating atmosphere and drawing exceptional performances from the cast. Kidman’s portrayal, though somewhat stylized, fully embodies a complex role with ease, delivering a bold and deeply affecting performance. She captures Anna’s vulnerability and despair, as well as her privileged background and the destabilizing effects of grief. The opera scene, in particular, stands out as a defining moment in her career. Bright is unnervingly compelling, conveying a disturbing intensity, while the supporting cast—despite limited material—adds depth and nuance to their characters, with Bacall and Howard delivering especially strong performances. | AI |
In this research approach, theoretical concepts are developed based on the lived experiences of participants. The researcher adopts the role of a learner, while the individuals in the setting serve as teachers, sharing insights about their world (Glazer & Strauss, 1967). Researchers must recognize their own biases and assumptions, acknowledge them, and set them aside to avoid compromising the accuracy of their findings. Qualitative studies are often used as an initial step to explore a topic, with quantitative studies later employed to test or further explain the phenomena identified. | AI |
Recapping the premise at the end of the episode makes people feel stupid, especially throwing in bogus footage from the UK series. The part of Lister was out of place; Lister is smeggy and always should be - where's the cigarette smoking, curry eater we love?

Komsomolskoye (Chechen: Saadi-Kotar), a village of approximately 5,000 residents before the war, was located south of Grozny, the Chechen capital, and was the hometown of Ruslan Gelayev, a prominent Chechen separatist commander operating in the Shatoysky and Itum-Kalinsky Districts. On 4 March 2000, a large group of exhausted and under-supplied fighters from Gelayev's unit entered the village. They were trying to escape the Russian military cordon established around the Argun river gorge after Grozny's fall in February. Gelayev and his fighters were misled by Arbi Barayev, who had falsely promised to evacuate their wounded using buses. Instead, Barayev led them into a carefully planned ambush by federal forces. | AI |
A video captures the moment a beachgoer cut open a deceased pregnant shark on a Cape Town, South Africa, beach to rescue her pups and guide them to the ocean. An American family discovered the dead shark and noticed movement inside, suspecting live pups might be present. The footage shows a man using a knife to perform an impromptu C-section on the shark. Onlookers initially expressed doubt, with one person heard saying, "I don’t think there’s a baby in there," but the man successfully retrieved three pups from the shark’s body. | AI |
Since we rarely have the chance to enjoy a new Cyberpunk title fans just have to watch everything that comes out to satisfy their thirst. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't some kind of a masterpiece, the movie is far from great. The story is a little bit more complex than that of an arcade video game and it still has plenty of plot-wholes. The CGI isn't exactly cutting edge, there are not enough action scenes, the dialog could use some polishing... So why the hell do I like this movie?! First of all you can feel that the movie is done with dedication and enthusiasm and they've gone as far as the budget allowed them. | HUMAN |
I had many problems related to what you mention there. Long story short: some years ago I got to my nation's newspapers because of my own small game studio and of my work on the local game dev association, and I got to speak to lot of conferences with very prestigious people, but I always felt empty, and I always felt I was more and more of an imposter. I rushed doing activities not because of my interest on them, but because of how they could help maintain and enforce my own image... and so on and on. Also I actually was starting to feel more and more stupid, because I wasn't doing the things I love most, and that I think I need to feed my mind. | HUMAN |
We analyze expropriation through tying as the outcome to what we call the “Some Opportunism Game” in which the owner of two patents can behave opportunistically in the licensing of one of its patents but not the other. As a foundation for that game, we analyze a “No Opportunism Game” that has the basic structure of the GK model but with only a single patent to license. The result of this model brings out a key distinction between our model and the GK model related to the meaning of a RAND commitment. In particular, we show that there is no universal formula for RAND. Instead, for some parameters, the RAND royalty is “value-based,” meaning that it reflects the ex ante upper bound value created by the patented technology. | HUMAN |
It is interesting to watch the growth and development of Chopinʼs talents in relation to the different schools. Although under the influence of none in particular, and not following the guide of any of the leading spirits of the day, he showed a slight and brief preference for Hummel, whom he took as a model, especially with regard to his passage work. We can trace this master in the form of most of Chopinʼs works, while from beginning to end there is an individuality in the choice of thoughts. The leaning to Hummel is chiefly discernible in his rondos; but in the “Don Juan” variations and the fantasia on Polish airs, that boldness and freshness of thought, independence of working, and originality of conception, which at once gave him a prominent position among contemporary composers, are already apparent. His lavish display of sentiment, youthful grace and energy, hopefulness and melancholy, show how unquenchable were the springs of his genius. | HUMAN |
It would have been evident to a person of ordinary skill in the art prior to the effective filing date of the invention to incorporate the sidewall spacers and tunnel dielectric configuration shown in Fig. 9F of Yang into the device depicted in Fig. 19 of Yang. This modification would involve positioning the floating gate dielectric layer in direct contact with the semiconductor substrate, forming a continuous structure with the pair of dielectric spacers. Such an arrangement would enable the tunnel dielectric layer and sidewall spacers to reduce the size of the floating gate and the stack gate, thereby decreasing the pitch of the memory cell, as described in Yang (Col. 22, lines 37-40). The Examiner notes that the sidewall spacers would replace the barrier layer illustrated in Fig. [reference]. | AI |

Your argument appears to center on the idea that financial success is the sole measure of value. This is evident when you suggest that many individuals between Mark Zuckerberg and DHH are "winning at life," despite my reference to Zuckerberg being specifically about his ability to balance business success with personal life—such as taking two months of paternity leave. It also explains why you dismiss the idea that those who worked hard on a failed product might feel regret, as long as they can secure a high-paying job elsewhere. Additionally, it clarifies why you overlook DHH's critique, which goes beyond the likelihood of business success to highlight the dissatisfaction of lacking full control as a founder and the draining pressure to either achieve massive success or fail entirely, which undermines the enjoyment of running a business. | AI |
Supporters of various philosophical perspectives use different language to justify why society should formalize marriage and assign specific benefits and obligations to married individuals. In this context, the States upholding the traditional definition of marriage have framed their stance using the practical, pragmatic language typical of American political discussion. Their central claim is that States formalize and support marriage, distinguishing it from other meaningful relationships, to encourage potentially procreative behavior within a stable, enduring structure. This structure has historically been viewed as the most suitable environment for raising children. Consequently, they assert that there are rational, secular reasons for limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples. | AI |
Rama, forced to relinquish the throne to his brother Bharata and exiled by his father, resided with his wife Sita and younger brother Lakshmana on Mount Chitrakuta in Bundelkhand. From there, he journeyed south into the Dandaka forest. Throughout his travels, he defended the sages by defeating their enemies, the Rakshasas. Their leader, Ravana, the king of Lanka (Ceylon), sought revenge on Rama by abducting Sita through a cunning scheme. To rescue her, Rama allied with Hanuman and Sugriva, leaders of the tribal inhabitants, often referred to as monkeys, in southern India. With their assistance, he crossed to Lanka, captured its capital, and killed Ravana in battle. Although Sita was freed, she underwent a trial by fire to prove her purity, which satisfied the public but left Rama unconvinced, leading to their eventual separation. | AI |
There are too many gaps in it, and as said before, it drags itself to the dubious end. Dubious because in the original play, none of the men we come to know and sympathize with, stay alive. They are all killed in a fatal and futile mission. In the movie they all die, except Malcolm McDowell, who manages somehow to stay alive another day, being the wing commander of the unlucky bunch, just to receive another three pilots to fly and die for another lost cause. The end of the play leaves a bare stage in total darkness. | HUMAN |
Visual perception can lead us to perceive the three lines as differing in length, even when we are certain they are equal. Testimony, however, operates differently. Unlike other forms of justification, it does not inherently display its truth in an obvious manner. While we often accept testimony automatically, it functions more like inferring the presence of fire upon seeing smoke. For the non-reductionist, the most effective response would be to present a framework that treats testimony as a distinct and irreducible form of evidence, one that is both independently reasonable and sufficiently flexible to accommodate its unique role. | AI |
GRK2 not only functions to modulate G-protein-coupled receptor signaling, but also exhibits very diverse functions including control of cell motility and growth, and modulation of inflammatory responses. Emerging evidences suggest that GRK2 modulates multiple cellular responses in various physiological contexts by either phosphorylating non-receptor substrates or by interacting with signaling molecules. GRK2 also regulates developmental and tumoral vascularization. Downregulation of GRK2 would be a relevant event in the angiogenic switch triggered by tumor cells by favoring a permissive microenvironment for tumor progression \\[[@R55]\\]. Notably, GRK2 has been reported to interact directly with AKT to reduce NO production in endothelial cells \\[[@R56]\\]. | HUMAN |
I understand that newer versions of Windows do have stronger security, so it is better if people can upgrade to a more secure version of Windows. But it would have been better if those security features were somehow back-ported. But seriously, can the current version of Windows please be considered "finished"?

The coupling is performed in the presence of a palladium catalyst, preferably palladium(II) chloride, which is complexed to a ligand, such as triphenylarsene. The reaction requires addition of a base, such as cesium carbonate, and is performed in a reaction inert solvent such as a mixture of water and an organic solvent. Said organic sovent is, for example, N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, or 1,2-dimethoxyethane.

Ibn Sīnā agreed that an impetus is imparted to a projectile by the thrower, but unlike Philoponus, who believed that it was a temporary virtue that would decline even in a vacuum, he viewed it as persistent, requiring external forces such as air resistance to dissipate it. Ibn Sina made distinction between 'force' and 'inclination' (called "mayl"), and argued that an object gained mayl when the object is in opposition to its natural motion. Therefore, he concluded that continuation of motion is attributed to the inclination that is transferred to the object, and that object will be in motion until the mayl is spent. He also claimed that a projectile in a vacuum would not stop unless it is acted upon, which is consistent with Newton's concept of inertia. This idea (which dissented from the Aristotelian view) was later described as "impetus" by Jean Buridan, who may have been influenced by Ibn Sina. | HUMAN |
Researchers in Europe continue to face significant challenges and limited opportunities. Many report unattractive working conditions, uncertain career prospects, and reliance on short-term contracts. Additionally, current training programs often fail to provide the skills necessary for success in a modern knowledge economy. Barriers also exist for researchers seeking to transition between academic and industry roles, further limiting career flexibility. The European research labor market remains fragmented, which hinders transnational mobility within the EU. This is due to issues such as a lack of transparent, merit-based recruitment, cultural barriers, and systemic obstacles related to social security, taxation, and the transferability of pension rights for highly mobile workers. | AI |

All the developments of the Arab Spring must be seen in this context. Similarly, on the other hand, the negative example of Iran and the need for security, which also involves Israel, must not be disregarded. This may seem to contradict everything that I have already said. However, the countries in the region that act as a counterpart to Iran and have given up a great deal in order to prevent Iran gaining possession of the atomic bomb deserve our support, whether or not we like their regimes, to ensure that Iran does not become the dominant power in the region. In order to achieve this, we must provide the neighbouring countries with the necessary security options. | HUMAN |
First, pooled ESs for the effect of EWI on all individual psychological and physical health outcomes reported in a sufficient number of studies were calculated separately. Then, the pooled overall ESs for the combined psychological health, physical health, and QoL outcomes were calculated together with the overall combined ES for all outcomes. If studies had allocated participants to more than one control group, for example, both non‐writing and neutral writing EWI was compared with each group separately. If a study had included more than one EWI group, for example, standard emotional writing and writing about helping others only the data for the group allocated to a writing intervention similar to the standard Pennebaker EWI approach---the focus of the present meta‐analysis---were used. If studies had included more than one assessment time point, the time points chosen for the analysis were those closest in time to post‐treatment. | HUMAN |
This study aimed to describe the use of the cohort review approach as an evaluation framework for the Harlem Health Advocacy Partners (HHAP) program, a community-focused CHW intervention in New York City. HHAP is an ongoing municipal initiative designed to improve the health of adults living in five public housing developments in East/Central Harlem. While the area has a strong history of community organizing, it has also been affected by policies such as redlining, broken windows policing, and "benign neglect," which have contributed to persistent poverty and poor health outcomes. HHAP was established to address these health and social challenges, with a focus on reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health and social outcomes between public housing residents in East/Central Harlem and other New Yorkers ([@R6],[@R7]). The cohort review approach was developed and applied to evaluate the health coaching component of HHAP, assessing program implementation and outcomes during its first two years. | AI |
In short, the type of satire known as a lampoon is a dangerous and often unlawful tool. We have no moral right to damage the reputations of others, as it takes away something we cannot give back. There are only two reasons that might justify writing a lampoon, though even these do not always provide sufficient grounds. The first is revenge, when we have been personally insulted or severely wronged and have no other means of redress. However, we must also recognize that Christian teachings urge us to forgive offenses, just as we seek forgiveness for our own daily failings before God. | AI |
Introduction A deconfined phase of nuclear matter is expected to be formed at the high energy densities created in relativistic heavy ion collisions [1]. It is widely believed that important signatures of such a phase are reflected in the space-time extent and shape of particle emission source functions. Recently, 1-Dimensional source imaging techniques [4, 5] have revealed a non-trivial long range structure in the two-pion emission source at RHIC [2, 3]. The origins of this structure are still unclear. The presence/absence of such a structure in the pion emission sources in heavy ion collisions at intermediate SPS energies could yield important information which could help resolve the structure’s origins. | HUMAN |

Dotcom, who should have been entitled to protection from GCSB surveillance as a New Zealand resident, claimed the GCSB was unaware of the surveillance because its equipment was being operated by the NSA, which he described as "directly involved." The GCSB documents indirectly acknowledge NSA involvement, though not explicitly. When questioned about accessing NSA networks, the GCSB declined to respond, citing national security concerns, and noted that under High Court rules, providing an answer would be interpreted as an admission of such access. Dotcom argued that the evidence indicated another party was using GCSB systems, and he believed it was the NSA. He stated, "The US government has requested my extradition. The NSA is clearly the most interested party." | AI |

The British further complicated the situation in their mandate through the Balfour Declaration. Issued in 1917 by British Foreign Secretary Alfred Balfour, this statement was one of several conflicting promises made by Britain to various groups during the war. It expressed British support for the establishment of a "national home" for Jewish people in Palestine. Since the 19th century, many European Jews, through Zionist organizations, had advocated for the return of Jews to their ancestral homeland in the Middle East. The Balfour Declaration represented the realization of a long-standing goal pursued by pro-Zionist groups. | AI |
