The film, often compared to *Being There*, is widely praised as a testament to how a kind and honest man can succeed despite lacking intelligence. However, this interpretation misses the point. The story is less about virtue and more about sheer luck: hoping your friend invests your money in Apple instead of Atari, hoping your shrimp boat is the only one out during a storm, hoping you’re shot in a non-lethal spot, or hoping you avoid contracting a life-threatening illness. Beyond its reliance on chance, the film also carries a conservative undertone, as those who defy societal norms are punished—losing limbs, falling into addiction, committing violence, or meeting untimely deaths. | AI |
Mr President, we can proceed with the vote on Thursday afternoon. The reason Wednesday poses an issue is that the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats intend to include Darfur on the agenda for Wednesday evening. However, we propose moving the Gahler report to Wednesday, as many Members have expressed a desire to speak on the reports by Mrs Batzeli, Mr Goepel, and Mrs Hall, which would exceed the available time. We would be content if Mr Lehne's report could be discussed on Thursday morning and voted on at noon. | AI |
West Germany and France possess advanced 120mm mortars and are currently developing new 120mm tank guns. However, a significant issue arises if, in the future, middle-aged reservists or drama students are mobilized to defend freedom. In such a scenario, the complexity of ammunition logistics becomes apparent. Each request for 120mm shells would require clarification: not the type used in recoilless guns or mortars, but specifically for tank guns. Further complicating matters, 120mm shells for rifled tank guns differ from those for smoothbore tank guns, as the guns themselves are distinct and require corresponding ammunition. | AI |
As computerized order routing and trading replaced phone calls and paper trading tickets in the 1980s, technologists faced the challenge of dealing with various vendor-specific electronic communication formats and proprietary messaging standards. For example, the NYSE used its own message formats in its Common Message Switch (CMS), which connected traders outside the trading floor to its DOT system. The existence of separate and incompatible interfaces across exchanges and brokerage firms highlighted the need to streamline traders' access points and achieve cost efficiencies by adopting a single, open protocol for trade messages that was not controlled by any vendor or exchange. | AI |
Commissioner, you mentioned the need to coordinate economic policies several times in your speech. I feel that there is something which is even more important than coordinating economic policies, which, if we overdo it, could even have negative repercussions. It is important for there to be sound economic policies in Europe: the strength of the euro will depend on it. We must combine the transparent policies and get away from the present rigidity. The strength of the euro, then, will depend on the ability of these transparent policies to make the economic systems more dynamic - as Mr Maaten said - to free them from the constraints of corporatism and dirigisme, to liberalise the markets, etc. | HUMAN |
Encryption can be implemented in a way that requires the use of encryption, i.e. if encrypted communication is impossible then no traffic is sent, or opportunistically. Opportunistic encryption is a lower security method to generally increase the percentage of generic traffic which is encrypted. This is analogous to beginning every conversation with "Do you speak Navajo?" If the response is affirmative, then the conversation proceeds in Navajo, otherwise it uses the common language of the two speakers. This method does not generally provide authentication or anonymity but it does protect the content of the conversation from eavesdropping. | HUMAN |
Witnesses whose parents took them to the Mangrove ashram in pursuit of an idealistic lifestyle have described being subjected to abusive sexual practices by Akhandananda, who would call for them over a loudspeaker or have his partner Shishy bring them to him. During the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Commissioners Justice Jennifer Coate and Helen Milroy presided over the public hearing into the Satyananda Yoga Ashram at Mangrove Mountain. On Wednesday, a woman identified as APL testified that conditions at the ashram were harsh, with children frequently going hungry. They were forced to shave their heads, wear orange robes, and perform strenuous labor. APL later learned that the Swami and Shishy lived in stark contrast, enjoying a hot tub, a television, and alcohol. | AI |
Harry Redknapp is confident that Rio Ferdinand will approach the challenge of facing Radamel Falcao without hesitation. Ferdinand, who spent 12 years at Old Trafford after joining from Leeds United in 2002, is regarded as a top professional by Redknapp. The former West Ham manager, who gave Ferdinand his Premier League debut at 17 in 1996, believes the 35-year-old defender could still secure a place in Manchester United’s backline. Redknapp stated that Ferdinand would view the encounter with Falcao as a test rather than something to fear, emphasizing his enduring quality as a player. | AI |
Additional strategies to promote sleep involved inquiring about the tools patients use at home to aid sleep, such as additional pillows or music. Upon admission, patients received small hospitality kits containing earplugs and eye masks, with the option to use a white noise machine. Warm washcloths were provided after dinner. Patients and their families were also given printed materials highlighting the benefits of sleep and rest, including reduced hospital stays, prevention of delirium, and improved participation in educational activities and cardiac rehabilitation. | AI |
Dolores Muzzy provided your name as a potential contact for details about the redesigned Analyst/Associate programs. I am currently halfway through my second rotation in the Analyst program and would like to better understand the opportunities available after completing this rotation. While six months may seem sufficient for planning, I recognize how quickly time passes and want to ensure I am taking the right steps to align with my goals. I would appreciate the chance to meet with you to discuss these topics at your earliest convenience. If you believe another individual would be more suitable to address my questions, I would be happy to connect with them as well. | AI |
This situation can be seen in the case of Miss Froude, a well-known figure in her community who was often approached by her neighbors for both financial assistance and spiritual advice, as well as for validation of their religious experiences. On one occasion, an elderly woman was brought to Miss Froude, clearly eager to share something significant. The woman explained that she had spent the previous night in a trance, during which she had ascended to heaven and was admitted by "an angel." When Miss Froude asked if they had inquired about her name, the woman replied, "No, ma'am, not my name—they only asked me my parish." | AI |
Tune in to the noon ET newscast for updates from West Coast Bureau Correspondent Kym McNicholas. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham will be in California to unveil a new public-private partnership addressing the "Path 15" transmission bottleneck. Additionally, he will deliver a keynote speech at the Hoover Institution's Conference on California's Electricity. On Thursday, Kym will speak with a spokesperson about the Valero refinery's proposal to construct two power plants—one to operate the refinery and another to supply energy to external customers. The California Energy Commission is set to decide Wednesday night on whether to approve the permit for the Benicia-based Valero refinery. | AI |
On behalf of the PPE-DE Group, I voted in favor of this report. Establishing a European internal market in the energy sector is a reasonable approach, and a network of transmission system operators is necessary to achieve this. However, it is important to ensure that implementation creates a fair and balanced framework while allowing for regional exemptions where needed. Additionally, enabling cross-subsidies across different energy sectors is essential to guarantee a stable energy supply in Europe’s most remote areas, including valleys and islands. | AI |
For instance, while [10] and [11] address the issue of optimal bidding, they employ distinct approaches: [10] utilizes a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints, whereas [11] relies on supply function equilibrium modeling. Additionally, [12] and [13] focus on designing bidding strategies for specific load-serving entities (LSEs), such as aggregators for electric vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, specifically in day-ahead markets. In terms of pricing, [14] introduces a Stackelberg game between LSEs and end-use customers (EUCs) to maximize LSE revenue, while [15] tackles the same problem by assuming LSEs can learn or estimate EUC power consumption patterns to enhance their profits. Similarly, [16] proposes a dynamic pricing strategy using a leader-follower game-theoretic framework. Meanwhile, [17] presents an energy management system (EMS) that functions similarly to an LSE, coordinating price-responsive demands to optimize utility. | AI |
In Season 2, Olaf was a notable champion, particularly remembered for Voyboy’s impactful play with him. However, after Riot Games began discussing changes for Season 3, they used that specific play as part of their analysis to justify nerfing Olaf. When Season 3 arrived, Olaf’s effectiveness dropped significantly, especially with the introduction of the Blade of the Ruined King, which made tanks far more vulnerable. This shift left Olaf in a notably weak state, struggling to maintain relevance in the meta. | AI |
After over 40 years, negotiations are now being proposed to move toward Turkey's full membership in the EU. This aligns with the aspirations of millions of Europeans of Turkish descent. The decision on Turkey's potential membership will not be made prior to negotiations but rather during the process. However, there is a risk that the Turkish government might assume, after three to five years of negotiations, that Turkey is entitled to EU membership even if issues related to democracy, human rights, and ethnic minorities remain unresolved. This could lead to conflicts and a potential breakdown in relations. The Copenhagen criteria must remain the standard and not be replaced by alternative conditions set by Ankara. | AI |
It's conventional supply-and-demand economics to suppose that if there were more doctors, each doctor would make less money overall, and thus the services of each doctor would be cheaper for patients. But actually the economist Martin Feldstein, who conducted a study of the issue in the 1960s based on data from Britain and the United States (with two rather different systems of providing medical care to citizens), found out that generally doctors refer business to other doctors. So that as the number of doctors goes up in a society, the use of doctors' services per patient goes up, and thus overall societal spending on medical care goes up, as does spending per patient. What figures do you have about what is actually happening in different countries, and which countries currently have the best supply of comparable medical personnel? | HUMAN |
We applied either MNM or MSP priors to estimate the cortical current distribution and associated log model evidence across the harmonic surfaces. For validation, we utilized data from a healthy subject performing a visually cued, skilled right-hand finger movement task. Each trial involved 16 seconds of finger-thumb opposition followed by 16 seconds of rest, with 20 trials conducted per experiment. The study received approval from the University of Nottingham Medical School Ethics Committee. MEG data were collected using a 275-channel CTF whole-head MEG scanner configured in a third-order synthetic gradiometer setup, with one channel non-functional, resulting in 274 usable channels. Data were sampled at 600 Hz, with hardware anti-aliasing filters set to 0–150 Hz. | AI |
Kirkeby presents a system for responding to medical alerts, which involves a passive antenna detecting the signal strength transmitted by a wearable device worn by the user. The signal strength indicates the user's location relative to a predefined device installed in the user's premises. The location detection units, such as those described by Kirkeby, can determine the position of the associated device within a medical facility using various technologies. These include Bluetooth, GPS receivers, proximity detection to known locations, RFID chip tracking, differential signal strength techniques, and systems detailed in referenced studies on Bluetooth ad hoc networks and location sensing applications. | AI |
So now, I have so much proof of how terrible she is and I really do want to destroy all of her relationships. I want to ensure that she doesn't get into her first choice college, show all of her teachers the proof I have that she's awful, and make her lose her friends. I know that this isn't the healthiest thing to do, but right now nothing more would please me. It would be so easy to do, and make me feel so good about myself. Because of her, I have developed trust issues with all women, and she has made me much more cynical. | HUMAN |
From the beginning, Fate had provided him with a powerful tool to overcome her: Genius. This gift allowed him to endure and rise above challenges, as his genius inherently included courage—or, in the broader Latin sense, Virtue. The obstacles he faced were numerous and varied, ranging from a troubled family life, including a drunken father, to his own personal flaws. Among the most significant were physical struggles, such as deafness, emotional turmoil from an unfulfilled heart, and a restless soul seeking deeper meaning. All of these were set against the unyielding backdrop of Fate's relentless force. | AI |
causes likelihood of confusion or mistake. Rescuecom has alleged that it does, in that would-be purchasers (or explorers) of its services who search for its website on Google are misleadingly directed to the ads and websites of its competitors in a manner which leads them to believe mistakenly that these ads or websites are sponsored by, or affiliated with Rescuecom. This is particularly so, Rescuecom alleges, when the advertiser’s link appears in a horizontal band at the top of the list of search results in a manner which makes it appear to be the most relevant search result and not an advertisement. What Rescuecom alleges is that by the manner of Google’s display of sponsored links of competing brands in response to a search for Rescuecom’s brand name (which fails adequately to identify the sponsored link as an advertisement, rather than a relevant search result), Google creates a likelihood of consumer confusion as to trademarks. | HUMAN |
This program didn't do it for me, although I'm a fan of the genre. The major factor that disappointed me was that there was not a single scene which was not dominated by the main character. This made it a bit two-dimensional and I gave up before the program was over. I was hoping to leave my critique there as I'm no movie critic, however, the guidelines on IMDb state that you must put in 10 lines of commentary. It did remind me of Hudson Hawk in the way the main character is in every single scene, and I would hope that the writers of this program could employ some more diversity to engage with the viewers. | HUMAN |
"Mademoiselle," I replied seriously, "you misunderstand me. Just moments ago, I overheard the officers of this Fort discussing a mission to meet with the Indians. Captain Heald is determined to proceed, but no one is willing to volunteer due to the serious risk of betrayal by the savages. The Frenchman's name was mentioned as someone bold enough to join such a group, and I wanted to warn him before he agreed without understanding the danger. He is not exactly a friend of mine, but it seemed only right that he should know the full extent of the risk before making his decision." | AI |
In the isoscalar channels, the σ-scalar and ω-vector couplings primarily govern nuclear interactions, with the former contributing to short-range repulsion and the latter to mid- and long-range attraction. A key distinction between RHF and RMF is that all mesons, including isoscalar ones, significantly influence the isospin component of nuclear interactions. Studies in Refs. [13, 21, 22, 25] incorporated ρ-vector and π-pseudo-vector couplings in DDRHF calculations. Recent research highlights the importance of one-pion exchange in DDRHF, demonstrating that the tensor force strongly impacts nuclear structure [13]. | AI |
As regards the framework directive, regulations purporting to give effect to the EU directive's ban on discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation actually allow an employer to impose a requirement relating to sexual orientation, if the doctrine of the religion or the religious convictions of its followers so dictates. This is a direct result of lobbying by right-wing elements in the Church of England hostile to homosexuals. It could mean that a gay person could be refused a teaching job in a Church school, however devout they are. | HUMAN |
One has to remind oneself constantly—what the daughter never forgot, though small trace of it appears in the letters of this period—that Mrs. Jex-Blake had a keen sense of humour. When she and Sophy were together, they had many a good joke in common. It was when the mesmerism of the child’s presence was removed that the sense of responsibility asserted itself in full force. It is impossible to read the long series of letters without being profoundly convinced,—1. That the parents were devotedly attached to their youngest child (“Sophy was the favourite,” was the elder sister’s deliberate comment some sixty years later). | HUMAN |
Blanco Encalada was born in Chuquisaca, Bolivia, the son of Manuel Lorenzo Blanco Cicerón and of Mercedes Calvo de Encalada y Recabarren (a Spanish father and a Chilean mother). He was trained for the Army in Spain, where he became a Guard de Corps and a lieutenant in the Regimiento de Dragones de Sangunto. During the Peninsular War, he supported Joseph Bonaparte and eventually was forced to emigrate to France. He returned to Buenos Aires in 1816, and moved to Chile in 1820, where his younger brother Manuel was an important political figure who went on to become its first President. | HUMAN |
I have never applied for blue collar jobs so my knowledge on the subject is very limited. I’ve tried to make cold calls on my dad’s behalf but it’s hard considering that I have to spend time during the day applying myself (I’m also currently looking for a job but that’s another story). My dad’s been taking the old-fashioned approach of looking in the wanted ads and literally showing up to random places asking for open positions… but I know that there’s got to be a better way. | HUMAN |
Summary: Knocking more NOx out of power generation is nothing new, but the move from regulation to the marketplace means that the competitive impacts of additional nitrogen oxide emissions reductions are as complex and significant now as the environmental impacts. The potential tilt to the competitive playing field has moved both old and new NOx regulations into the courts. Industry restructuring also means that the market will determine who pays the billions of dollars in NOx emission control costs. Pending court decisions will determine how much NOx emissions are allowed in power production and will also define one of the key attributes of the future competitive power business landscape. | HUMAN |
I rushed downstairs to confront the only one home while the rest of my family and I had been on vacation, my brother. As it turns out he threw a party while we were away. He doesn't remember who did it but he did say couples were going in and out of my room through out the night. Fucking awesome. Random people we're fucking IN MY BEDROOM and and managed to spill what I pray to Gaben was milk on my brand new $150 dollar keyboard that I used once ruining it. | HUMAN |

I congratulate Mr Bodrato on his report, which has the merit of expressing this desire. We feel, however, that it focuses too much on military applications, which are not the intended aim of this policy. This is why we are proposing Galileo, which will be a purely civilian organisation, as opposed to the USA’s GPS system or the Russian Glonass, which are under military control. We propose to support Article 150 of the Convention under discussion, so that space forms part of European policy as a whole. A joint organisation must be set up at European level and the European Space Agency (ESA) must be more a tool of this integrated policy than an intergovernmental body. | HUMAN |
While purchasing greeting cards at Hallmark years ago, I noticed the store’s background music and asked the sales associate about it. She pointed out the CD for sale on the counter, which I bought and have enjoyed ever since. Over the years, I’ve lost the case, and the CD now rattles around in my car. Despite owning numerous CDs from renowned artists like Gershwin, The Beatles, The Eagles, and Sinatra, I consistently return to this lesser-known *Steppin’ Out* album. I’m writing this review in hopes of identifying the artist, whose smooth, Sinatra-like voice and beautiful song interpretations are complemented by a breathtaking orchestra. The sound quality is clear and vibrant, with each track being long, lush, and unhurried. | AI |
In November 2018, Taylor became the first batsman for Zimbabwe to score a century in each innings in a Test on two occasions. In October 2020, in the first ODI against Pakistan, Taylor scored his 17th century in international cricket to become the batsman with the most centuries for Zimbabwe across all three formats. Due to all these achievements, Taylor is often regarded as one of the finest batsman of Zimbabwe in the modern era. In July 2021, during Zimbabwe's home series against Bangladesh, Taylor played in his 200th ODI match. In September 2021, ahead of Zimbabwe's third ODI match against Ireland, Taylor announced that he would retire from international cricket following the match. | HUMAN |
Utilitarianism appears intuitive in certain situations. For instance, consider a captured soldier who, despite being tortured, lies by claiming she does not know how to break the allies’ codes, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives. In this scenario, most would agree that her decision to lie was morally justified, as the consequences of telling the truth would have been catastrophic. However, this intuition does not always hold, as there are cases where lying may seem morally counterintuitive or unjustified, even from a utilitarian perspective. | AI |
Light and electron micrographs (LM, TEM), rather than diagrams, are presented of book lungs from embryos, postembryos and first instars of P. tepidariorum. These results of primary lamellar formation in embryos are substantially in agreement with the histological observations of early 20th century authors, especially Purcell (1909), Janeck (1909) and Ivanić (1912). This investigation also provides information about the transition from primary to postembryonic lamellae and the cellular secretory processes that produce the alternating air and hemolymph channels. A culture of P. tepidariorum was maintained with procedures like those described earlier for this species (Mittmann and Wolff, 2012). Egg sacs and newly hatched spiderlings were kept in small petri dishes at 25–30 °C. | HUMAN |
"I was entirely free of stammering," declares a clergyman, in a typical statement, "till I was five years old. At that time of life there was a gentleman who occasionally came to my father's house, and stammered very badly. I distinctly remember one afternoon trying to imitate him; when, unfortunately, he heard me, and was very indignant. So ashamed were my parents at my conduct that, after he had gone, I was taken to task and punished severely for it. Ever since that night I have been afflicted with this most distressing malady, in spite of all my efforts to overcome it." | HUMAN |
Under the scheme of 'localisation' introduced by the Cardwell Reforms in 1873, the Surrey RVCs, together with the Surrey Militia were grouped into two 'sub-districts' alongside the Regular regiments in the county. The 2nd Surrey RVC was assigned to Sub-District No. 48 with the 2nd Foot (The Queen's Royal Regiment). While the sub-districts were referred to as 'brigades', they were purely administrative organisations and the Volunteers were excluded from the 'mobilisation' part of the Cardwell system, though they carried out joint manoeuvres, and the Surrey RVCs were assigned a role in the garrison of Sheerness Dockyard. | HUMAN |
As a liberal, I value individual rights, including the right of animals to be free from unnecessary suffering. I also prioritize the importance of free and informed consumer choice. To support this, clear and accurate labeling is essential, enabling consumers to make informed decisions. In this context, I would like to highlight Amendment No. 39, which suggests that products tested on animals should be labeled with the phrase "Tested on animals." | AI |
Upon arriving on set, Shaw encountered Ian McDiarmid, who played Emperor Palpatine. When McDiarmid inquired about his presence, Shaw casually replied, "I don’t know, dear boy, I think it’s something to do with science-fiction." His involvement was kept confidential, shared only with essential cast and crew, and Shaw was bound by contract to maintain secrecy, even with his family. The unmasking scene, directed by Richard Marquand, was completed in a single day with minimal takes, adhering strictly to the original script. | AI |
Employee satisfaction and engagement are critical factors in workplace retention. When employees feel their voices are heard and experience a sense of belonging and purpose, they are more likely to remain in their roles and contribute effectively. Conversely, workplaces that fail to value employees or treat them as expendable often struggle with retention. In human resource management, prioritizing employee retention can enhance satisfaction, boost morale, and improve the overall quality of work. | AI |
This post-apocalyptic film by Cirio H. Santiago, typically a dependable director, falls short of expectations. Richard Norton, known for his martial arts prowess, is underutilized, spending most of his time wielding a high-powered gun and engaging in repetitive shootouts and explosions. While the film might appeal to fans of action-heavy sequences, those seeking depth or substance will likely find it monotonous. On a related note, it’s worth mentioning a common trend in IMDb reviews: the tendency to hastily declare every low-budget film as "the greatest B-movie ever." While personal tastes vary, such high praise should be reserved for films that genuinely stand out within their genre, and reviewers should approach such claims with a broader understanding of the context. | AI |
Protective? His actions prompted breathless reports from certain media outlets that, rather than just being a creative way of performing closer to his fans, it was a cynical attempt to shield himself from the deadly virus sweeping West Africa. Previous: The five-time Grammy nominee has performed inside the stage prop on a number of previous occasions including in Perth, Australia, and Dubai, both in 2010. Neither of those countries were battling Ebola outbreaks at the time. Akon is not the only music star with a penchant for inflatable-bubble crowd-surfing either. | HUMAN |
The first one is the longbows. Spartans would have a bad first encounter here, because they’d come to the field with some degree of confidence in their ability to shrug off archery. The big hoplon shield and a bronze cuirass offered a lot of protection against the kind of archers they were used to facing. At least in our sources, it seems like Persian archers could not really hope to penetrate Greek armor at 100 yards — this meant that in battles like Marathon, Thermopylae and Cunaxa a Greek phalanx only had to shrug off a couple of volleys before they charged into the ranks of lightly-armed archers. Arrows were a threat to exposed arms and legs — or eyes — but a well managed formation could and usually did weather them effectively. | HUMAN |
on behalf of the EFD Group. - Mr President, apparently, a small German company, BronchoAir of Munich, has produced an inhaler which can actually improve the life of asthma sufferers who rely on such devices to breathe. This product has been shut out of the market for over 14 years, and the Commissioner's account of why this has been was very different from that of the Chair of the Committee on Petitions who opened the debate. The Committee on Legal Affairs has stated, and I quote: 'the company has been the victim of a flagrant denial of justice' on the part of the Commission. | HUMAN |
To our knowledge, no similar studies have been conducted on the germ microbiome of T. aestivum and T. spelta, making the findings of this study particularly significant. Additionally, no prior research has documented the biodiversity of endophytes in the coleoptiles of these species, which was a focus of this investigation. The analysis revealed notable biodiversity of endophytic bacteria in both H-CP and R-CP, with R-CP exhibiting greater biodiversity than H-CP. In T. spelta coleoptiles, nine bacterial genera were identified (Flavobacterium, Janthinobacterium, Pedobacter, Duganella, Ochrobactrum, Rhodococcus, Dyadobacter, Mucilaginibacter, and Staphylococcus), with the latter four being exclusive to the coleoptiles. In T. aestivum coleoptiles, five endophytic genera were found (Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, Paenibacillus, Janthinobacterium, and Herbaspirillum), all of which were also present in other wheat organs (Table 3). | AI |
The robustness of this finding required evaluation through a sufficiently powered trial. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess the effectiveness of StopAdvisor among smokers of both low and high socioeconomic status. Our results indicate that overall cessation rates were comparable between participants assigned to the interactive StopAdvisor website and those in the brief-advice control group. However, the intervention's effectiveness varied by socioeconomic status, with StopAdvisor proving beneficial for smokers of low socioeconomic status but not for those of high socioeconomic status. Additionally, StopAdvisor saw higher usage rates compared to the static, brief-advice website. Addressing health inequality remains a critical global research priority. | AI |
The European Union must avoid taking indiscriminate actions without clear, achievable goals. It is important to remember that the objective should not be to dominate a strategically significant country, but rather to prevent the rise of extremist elements that could destabilize regimes in nations like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Egypt. Such destabilization risks elevating figures like Bin Laden to the status of a martyr, political or military leader, or, more critically, a religious or spiritual figure, which would have far graver consequences. | AI |
Participation in regular physical activity is a well-established therapeutic modality to lower the risk related to both CV disease and high BP. Indeed, irrespective of pharmacological treatment, physically inactive patients with hypertension have a greater risk of mortality when compared to those who remain physically active \\[[@B72]\\]. Lifestyle modifications that include regular exercise are widely accepted as important in the prevention and treatment of hypertension \\[[@B3],[@B21],[@B73],[@B74]\\], and there is clear evidence that exercise training results in clinically significant reductions in resting BP Although there is less information available with respect to the effects of exercise training on exercise BP, training interventions of varying type, frequency, duration and intensity will likely result in clinically meaningful exercise BP reductions in healthy cohorts \\[[@B73]\\]. However, the beneficial effects of exercise training and lifestyle modification on exercise BP may be more readily evident in populations at a greater risk related to high BP, such as those with essential hypertension, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle or previous cerebrovascular disease events (e.g. transient ischaemic attack) \\[[@B80],[@B81],[@B82],[@B83]\\]. | HUMAN |
Histological research has primarily used immunocytochemical methods to identify plasma or serum amyloid in the brain, with studies indicating that inflammation and oxidative stress, marked by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), emerge early in Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Erickson and Banks, 2013). AD is also linked to decreased metabolic activity and neuronal loss, particularly in the entorhinal cortex and the CA1 region of the hippocampus (Gomez-Isla et al., 1996). Since AD can only be definitively diagnosed postmortem, cases are often labeled as "probable AD." While the exact causes of AD remain uncertain, the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is recognized as the primary genetic risk factor, present in 40–80% of AD patients (Strittmatter et al.). | AI |
The individual claimed to have extensive knowledge about Ebola, stating she knew more than anyone at Newark Airport. She emphasized that the nurse in question showed no symptoms but was not permitted to leave the airport, with no clarity on who was detaining her. The nurse, described as tired, hungry, and distressed, had just returned from a month-long assignment in Sierra Leone. Upon arrival, she was provided minimal information and only a granola bar after two days of continuous travel. These heightened measures followed the diagnosis of Dr. Craig Spencer, a 33-year-old physician in New York City, who tested positive for Ebola after returning from Guinea on October 17. Despite passing initial screening at JFK, he later developed symptoms, including a 100.3°F fever, nausea, and exhaustion, and was placed in isolation at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. | AI |
Some client devices are equipped with multiple functionalities, including the ability to act as a hotspot. For instance, a smartphone may include a mobile broadband modem, which allows it to access mobile internet services directly from a mobile broadband network, as depicted in FIG. 4. In this setup, data flows from the mobile broadband modem to the application processor, which handles both download and upload operations. The application processor also manages user interaction through the display and other interface components, such as audio and vibration features. | AI |
\\- Garbage collection in the centralized sense is necessary. By centralized I mean that one person or a group would be tasked to collect all the garbage within big communities. Now, in a world where I had all the free time I wanted, I would not care a bit to take my car around my neighbours/family/friends houses and collect it myself, it would simply be much more organic. Worst case scenario, it's gonna be up to you to take care of that, and with all the free time you have, it should be a minor inconvenience if any. | HUMAN |
This film is worth watching, particularly for the scene where a tugboat worker removes his hat and reacts with a pained expression to the abrupt, poorly edited death of a diver at the jaws of a "Raging Shark." The credits also add a layer of humor, with names ending in 'ovo' or 'vala,' hinting at its Bulgarian origins. By the end, the film offers a clear message: while literal "Raging Sharks" exist, humans can also embody metaphorical ones. A memorable experience. | AI |
> It seems clear to me that Popperian falsification is indeed the only way to > separate the wheat from the chaff in theoryspace, however, generating > theories generally requires inductive reasoning. A report analyzed the entries to Nature one year and found that very, very few of the papers actually met Popper's criteria for falsifiable hypotheses, and in fact most of the papers started out with an exploratory aim and documented their findings. This means that to adopt the Popperian idea that only falsifiable claims are science means we must reject good science. One must also consider what opportunities are being missed if we were to force good science to adopt strictly falsifiable hypotheses before research commences - this would mean that every exploratory paper would need to be redefined (or rather, firstly defined) as a falsifiable hypothesis... in an attempt to please Popperians. | HUMAN |
Madam President, I have requested to speak in order to propose, under Article 144 of the Rules of Procedure, that the EDD Group refers this matter back to committee. This request is based on a matter of principle, as the directive in question is presented under Article 95, suggesting it is an internal market measure. However, its content is primarily focused on health policy, which falls under Article 152 of the Treaty. This distinction is significant because Article 152 explicitly prohibits harmonization in the health sector, although it allows for other measures to be implemented. | AI |
For the 1996 season, Team LeMans bought an ex-IMSA Nissan 300ZX-GTS to compete in the rebranded GT500 class. Kageyama and series debutant Yuji Tachikawa took one top-10 finish in the final round of the championship at Mine Circuit and finished 25th in the drivers standings. Tachikawa stayed with the team for the 1997 season and was partnered by Tsuyoshi Takahashi, who replaced Kageyama after he was signed by SARD. The team took a 10th place finish in the season opening round at Suzuka, but a practice crash in the next round at Fuji totaled their 300ZX-GTS and the team was forced to withdraw their entry for the rest of the season. | HUMAN |
While this film is called The Chill Factor I recall seeing it on one of ABC's Movie of the Week programs in 1973 under the title A Cold Nights Death and never saw it under the title The Chill Factor. I do recall that the week it was shown it was averaging about -20 where I was living so that made it interesting to watch this film and know how cold it felt for the two main characters. As some other reviewers have commented this film seems to be unavailable as so many of the made for TV movies from the 70's are. Who knows the reason why is anybodies guess. It had a Twilight Zone type plot to the story. | HUMAN |
Computer systems can be fully understood in the sense that human knowledge collectively encompasses their workings and programming, though no single individual could know every detail. This is not the case for biological systems, where significant gaps in understanding remain. While a group of computer experts might grasp a system comprehensively, a group of biologists cannot fully explain a biological system due to its inherent complexity and the limits of current knowledge. | AI |
The prophet's maternal uncle visited the country and secured permission to construct a mosque in Canton, parts of which may still exist within the current structure, which has been restored three times. The government introduced paper money in the later years of the dynasty, and around this same period, the origins of the modern court circular and daily record of edicts and memorials, now known as the Peking Gazette, can be traced. | AI |
Angel Di Maria suffered a minor hamstring tear during Manchester United's 3-0 win over Hull City, as confirmed by his wife, Jorgelina Cardoso. The injury occurred just 14 minutes into the match, forcing him to leave the field. Manager Louis van Gaal stated after the game that Di Maria would not be sidelined for an extended period but confirmed his absence for the upcoming match against Stoke City. Cardoso later clarified the nature of the injury in response to a fan's message on Instagram, describing it as "a small tear" ("Hay un pequeno desgarro"). | AI |
Madam President, when a tragedy occurs resulting in significant loss of life, the international community is often left shocked and distressed, typically responding with efforts to provide assistance. In cases where the tragedy is particularly senseless, such as the Cermis incident, the initial reaction is one of anger and disbelief. The events of 3 February in Cavalese, Trentino-Alto Adige, serve as a stark reminder of the devastating outcomes that can arise from human error when handling advanced tools designed for defense, which can easily become instruments of destruction if misused. | AI |
In the meantime, Tina's and Tom's zip tie handcuffs were taken off by a yet-unidentified Bristol police officer. This was done with a pair of cutters the officer had retrieved from Tom's truck, parked in the driveway, and locked, so the officer had to get Tom's car keys from him first. After the cuffs were removed, Tom then remained in the living room, watching television, while Tina returned to her bedroom and dressed. In conduct she has since described as "voluntary," she then accompanied an officer while he searched the apartment. | HUMAN |
Career goals: 14. The 21-year-old was also wearing his official Hammers training kit while lying on a training mat in the photo. During his two-and-a-half months in the Welsh capital, Morrison made just six appearances and failed to find the target for Cardiff. Morrison has persistently struggled with off-field disciplinary problems throughout his career, including making homophobic remarks on Twitter and being arrested - and subsequently cleared - on suspicion of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and her mother. He has been at Upton Park for two-and-a-half seasons but he has already been loaned out to Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff during that time. | HUMAN |
"How strong Riemann's beliefs since 1919, the year of his death, have been bent over with Jewish fixity, of which Alfred Einstein new editions in countless articles displays overwhelming evidence; in many cases the encyclopedia resembled a Jewish temple of fame. Now that the last possible separation between non-Jewish and Jewish in the realm of Adolf Hitler's empire was carried out in the areas of cultural, intellectual and scientific life, one might have expected a correspondingly radical departure from Einstein's editing practice in the new Riemann. But what happened? The whole of Judaism, which had settled into our culture over the past decades, has been given extensive tributes.

I just purchased a A9S Master Series Oled 4K Ultra HD Tv 55" and my God did it do a number on me! I guess I should have picked up on the issue because when I was at Bestbuy I did notice that the black lines and shadows made my eyes blur despite the picture being sharp as a tack. But I've never heard of a screen that's not flickering or blurry causing eye strain. I mean I was literally looking at black text on a white background and the text would look blurry, but I could feel it was my eyes refocusing as a looked at a super sharp 4K image. Mind you I've never heard of a non flashing image, or non blurry image causing eye strain or any of this until I bought the tv. | HUMAN |
He was released from prison on February 6 but was recalled after falling off the police radar just a week after his release from prison on licence after he failed to show up at a probation meeting. James had been released early after serving part of an eight month sentence for a street knife attack. Speaking from an unknown location near his family home in Caerphilly, South Wales, he said: 'They are not going to be able to catch me - I won't let them. ' They have been round my mum's house four times a day but I'll be out for at least a month or two before the get me. ' I have only been out for a week so I wont to be out a bit longer before going back in. ' | HUMAN |
Yet another approach to forming a contoured seating cushion employs a flexible bag containing a granular material and fitted with a valve so that the bag can be maintained in a condition evacuated of air. The bag in its non-evacuated state is pushed against one who is to be supported and the granular material flows to allow the bag to take a shape closely conforming to the user's shape. The bag is then evacuated through the valve, causing the granular material to become pressed by virtue of the resulting pressure differential across the wall of the bag. The previously flexible support device thus becomes rigid, with the granular material becoming locked into a rigid support mass in a shape conforming to the shape of the body being supported. One problem with this approach is in the requirement for maintaining the bag in an evacuated condition for extended periods of time. | HUMAN |
A 41-year-old woman was shot by her ex-boyfriend, Marcus Collins, while she was working as a parking attendant at a baseball stadium. The incident occurred when Collins arrived in a silver Cadillac, and the woman approached his vehicle on foot after initially driving a golf cart toward it. Collins fired multiple shots, striking the woman at least once in the abdomen. After shooting her, he turned the gun on himself and died inside the car. The woman’s identity has not been released. | AI |
When will you vatniks realize that the civilized countries of the world don't care about Putin's impotent sabre rattling? If Russia pops a nuke, even if it doesn't detonate properly, then by the following day every Russia air and sea asset in or near Ukraine is gone. We’ll probably sink every Russian ballistic missile submarine for good measure, regardless of location. Within a month, every armed Russian anywhere within Ukraine’s internationally recognized 2014 borders will be dead or captured. Poland is just begging for a go, after all. | HUMAN |
As the mysterious lookalike gradually reveals the truth to the doctor, it becomes less and less certain which of the twins is the "hero" and which is the "villain." Shinya Tsukamoto isn't a great director yet, but he's getting there. With Gemini he reveals a tremendous versatility, combining moments of sedate drama with hyperkinetic sequences of terror and joy. The actors are all magnificent (especially Masahiro Motoki in a complex double role), the cinematography is stunning, and the story is thoroughly intriguing and well told. It's not the best movie ever made by any means, but here and there Tsukamoto manages a few moments of real greatness, scenes where we genuinely become one with these characters and their needs. | HUMAN |
If you're seeking guidance on improving your life, this book may not be worth the investment. The author begins by describing how he transformed his life by altering his beliefs, and the chapters present scientific concepts in clear, accessible language, which is engaging.

It fails to detail how the author addressed his own issues or provides actionable steps for readers to apply in their own lives. | AI |
Mr. President, it is not easy for me to say this, but Mr. Schulz is entirely correct in his remarks. I have rarely, if ever, expressed such agreement in this House, and it is unlikely I will do so again. However, he has clearly identified the core issue: the challenge of balancing the sovereignty of Member States with the EU’s ability to act effectively. The central question is how much sovereignty Member States are willing to relinquish and to what extent they want the EU to have the capacity to act. | AI |
Copyright law can be complex, but in general, if you include specific clauses in an unlicensed license and imply that you are waiving your rights to the software, you should not be able to sue without valid justification. This is intended to safeguard the software owner from malicious third parties. For instance, if someone makes minimal modifications to your software and distributes it for profit, you could potentially take legal action against them, provided the copyright laws in your jurisdiction do not allow the use of an unlicensed clause. | AI |
The situation presents a clear dilemma. Fort Wayne offers an affordable living situation for my fiancé and me, with the added benefit of being near friends and family. However, it poses significant risks, particularly for my career, as the area lacks design and agency opportunities if my remote position with the Chicago agency were to end. Both my fiancé and I face limited professional growth here, and I worry we might be settling for less than our potential, despite his assurance that we wouldn’t stay in Fort Wayne for more than another year. While he has lived here most of his life and seems comfortable, he insists he’s willing to relocate and explore new opportunities with me. | AI |
There would be greater price differences between the two markets, greater opportunities for trade, and greater costs from disrupting it – around €2. 7 billion. We also consider hybrid scenarios in which France follows the Green Transition but Britain reverts to Slow Progress. If this involves a lower British carbon price, our assumptions lead to similar wholesale prices in each market, relatively small gains from trade, and relatively small costs to disrupting it – €217 m, even after valuing the additional emissions at the EU carbon price. The EU might impose a border carbon tax, which would make its generation relatively more competitive in the British market, and trade more attractive. | HUMAN |
I enjoyed reading *Divergent* by Veronica Roth last December. The book is well-rated on Barnes & Noble, though I’m not sure how much that reflects its quality, and Summit has plans to adapt it into a movie franchise. As of May 1st, the sequel, *Insurgent*, was released, which I pre-ordered through the Nook app on my iPad. I found it to be excellent, and it’s stayed on my mind ever since. In fact, I’ve started rereading *Divergent* just so I can experience *Insurgent* again. | AI |
Traditionally, the analog to the current Democrat/Republican dynamic was the Justicialist/Radical Civic Union (or "UCR"). The first one was more for economic regulation and general welfare, while the second was less about welfare and more about economic freedom. But the UCR hadn't been relevant for almost 20 years now. In the '90s the Justicialist party took a "economic liberal" turn, a strange one in retrospect, but one that most Justicialists supported because "privatization of public services and more economic freedom, for some specific people, CAN be better for the welfare of the people". How can a left-wing party get away with that? | HUMAN |
There is an increasing recognition that digital technologies are not isolated tools but sociotechnical systems, deeply intertwined with artifacts, people, organizations, policies, economics, histories, cultures, and knowledge. Over recent decades, this understanding has expanded to include the mutual influence of gender and technology. This complexity disrupts the predictable relationship between user input and system output, as these systems evolve alongside the shifting experiences, knowledge, histories, cultures, economics, and policies of users and society. Social factors are difficult to plan for or control, particularly as sociotechnical systems are continually reshaped by users to adapt to their changing contexts and communal knowledge. Consequently, the reductionist and positivist approaches, along with deductive reasoning often used in basic research, must be balanced with interpretive approaches and inductive reasoning from social scientists. Equally important is integrating the cultural wealth, expertise, and knowledge of community members, creating a dynamic interplay between these perspectives. | AI |
This study explored the use of GANs to identify high-level semantic mappings between cartoon frames, serving as an initial step toward understanding broader semantic connections in videos. The findings demonstrate that this problem is inherently many-to-many, as a single scene in one domain can correspond to multiple scenes in another, each with distinct semantic meanings. While some models achieved reasonable semantic alignments between domains, the results highlight that this remains an open research challenge. Future work should incorporate the temporal aspects of video and integrate additional modalities such as subtitles and audio. Beyond insights into GANs, this research opens avenues for practical applications within the domain of cartoons. | AI |
I should like to say to you, ladies and gentlemen, that, throughout this morning’s debate, I have sensed grave concern in this House, and I am sure that Mr Alexander will inform his government and the Presidency of this concern, felt by virtually all the political forces in Parliament. This concern comes in the face of a lack of ambition, which could create obstacles to the modernisation of our economies, and in the face of the danger posed by a ‘two speed’, divided Europe. It is a concern regarding the Union’s capacity to provide itself with the necessary resources to enable it to win the battle in relation to globalisation and, therefore, in relation to employment and to the well-being of Europeans. As you know, these concerns are also shared by myself and by the Commission, and I will outline them very clearly at tomorrow’s European Council. | HUMAN |
And how handy that, even though they were planning to go to the moon and had pressure suits for that, they brought hiking gear (and rifles!) just in case they ended up at Mars. They're lucky they landed anywhere, since apparently the method they had developed for landing was to have Dr.E look out the window and tell the "pilot" (Lloyd Bridges) to tweak down the throttles every now and then. Note to the designers of the XM-2: how about giving the pilot a window seat?

Home from home: The interior of the Samba was restored to original specifications by renowned specialists Devon Conversions. The van was was built at the original VW factory in Wolfsburg and imported by Britain's first VW dealership - Colborne Garages, in Surrey. A brand new bespoke period-correct Devon interior was installed even featuring the same fridge and stove units that were originally used. History: In 1959 the VW Dealership's owner had the interior converted so he could use the vehicle for family holidays. The right hand drive model was kept in storage in the West country for 30 years before being discovered in 1992 and carefully restored back to its original condition. | HUMAN |
Secondly, material management. We must, indeed, ensure that these mobile phones are more effectively recycled over the next few years, but in the future, we have to ensure that we manufacture mobile phones which are completely embedded in a cradle-to-cradle-concept, so that all the essential components of that mobile phone are systematically recovered and used to produce new mobile phones. It is that kind of overall policy that needs to be developed by 2050 and I expect the Commission to take decisions now that will ensure that industry has a clear framework to work towards. | HUMAN |
It is undoubtedly a difficult situation to remove a person from possession, particularly under the circumstances of the defendant, at any time of the year, and impose a cost bill without prior notice. The defendant entered possession with the owner's consent, maintained it for fifteen years, and made improvements to the property under the reasonable assumption that he would retain it for life. While some cases requiring notice have been based on the reservation of rent, it is unclear whether this is the sole criterion. If it is, the improvements made to the property could arguably serve as an equivalent substitute for rent, given their comparable value. | AI |
In all human probability, the augmented revenue proceeding from the public salt works, and the increased price of the state lands, in consequence of this undertaking, will more than extinguish the interest of the debt contracted for that purpose. We should also take into view, the land already subscribed by individuals for this work, amounting to 106,632 acres. These donations, together with those which may be confidently anticipated, will exceed in value a million of dollars, and it will be at all times in the power of the state to raise a revenue from the imposition of transit duties, which may be so light as scarcely to be felt, and yet the income may be so great, as in a short time to extinguish the debt, and this might take effect on the completion of every important section of the work. | HUMAN |
The appearance of such bands, which are sometimes termed “persistent slip lines”, is similar to that of those arising from cyclic loading, but the resultant steps are usually more localised and have lower heights. They also reveal the grain structure. They can often be seen on free surfaces that were polished before the deformation took place. For example, the figure shows micrographs (taken with different magnifications) of the region around an indent created in a copper sample with a spherical indenter. The parallel lines within individual grains are each the result of several hundred dislocations of the same type reaching the free surface, creating steps with a height of the order of a few microns. | HUMAN |
During my initial supervision at a unit, I was told I was "too happy." When I asked for clarification, I learned that some colleagues had complained about my high energy in the mornings when they felt tired. At the time, I walked a mile to work while listening to Sabaton, and within the first 30 minutes of my shift, I had to lead two exercise routines with clients. I believed it was reasonable for me to be energetic under those circumstances. Even now, I find the criticism puzzling, as I rarely interacted with most of my colleagues except for two whom I considered friends. | AI |
The film wastes a talented cast by giving them poorly written material and unlikable characters to portray. Linda Kerridge plays Deezen's attractive girlfriend, Lyle Waggoner is the bumbling police chief, Ruth Buzzi and Carol Wayne play ditzy mothers, Terry Kiser and Biff Manard are equally foolish fathers, Cleavon Little is a clueless high school principal, Eric Stoltz and Tom Villard are shallow surfers, and Corinne Bohrer and Lucinda Dooling play stereotypical valley girls. The soundtrack, featuring notable 80s New Wave bands like Oingo Boingo and Wall of Voodoo, as well as classic 60s surf-rock from the Beach Boys and Dick Dale, is similarly misused. The humor relies on absurd and unfunny gags, such as eating seaweed, cross-dressing, slow-motion frog races set to the "Chariots of Fire" theme, and other equally questionable attempts at comedy. | AI |
6b), and these findings are endorsed by the associated randomisation tests that indicate areas of unusually strong correlation, as well as unusually weak correlation in the south. The distribution of GW correlations between HClPO4 and δ18OPO4 largely confirm that found in Fig. 6a, but with more detail. As a continuous (Gaussian) weighting scheme is specified, all GW correlations are actually informed by all 58 observations of the strongly declustered data (a bandwidth of 40% entails that the nearest 22 observations exert the greatest influence on each localised correlation). This weighting specification is considered crucial to a GW analysis to such a relatively small data set. | HUMAN |

Not very far away they came upon the Druids' circle, a ring of tall upright stones, so ancient that all tradition of them had long been lost, though Miss Kaye explained to the girls that they had probably been used as a kind of temple for sun worship by the early tribes who lived there, long before the Romans discovered Britain. | HUMAN |
Sunday's win at the Dubai Desert Classic is a repeat of McIlroy's first as a professional back in 2009. He also wished Mr Ridge success as a sports agent in the future and McIlroy success on the golf course. McIlroy is believed to have offered Ridge almost £8m to settle prior to Tuesday's adjournment at the High Court. That offer was turned down by Ridge, who was confident his company had a watertight contract with McIlroy that entitled them to somewhere between 15 and 20 per cent of his endorsement money until 2017. McIlroy's deal with Nike, which he signed while with Horizon, is reportedly worth around £150 million, which gave Horizon plenty of reasons to fight for a larger settlement. | HUMAN |
I don’t know who wrote it, but based on the piece of paper, the handwriting on the front, and the partial note on the back, I’ve concluded it was likely a girl from my high school who was left-handed, drove a car, and didn’t sit near me during a school assembly earlier that day. I’ve ruled out my friends because this happened six months ago, and no one has admitted to it. It also seems like too much effort for any of them to fake a note so meticulously. Additionally, considering all the clues, I can’t think of anyone outside my close circle who would recognize my car, know it was usually unlocked, and care enough to leave a prank note. | AI |

Additionally, randomized studies on this topic are limited. This study aims to address gaps by examining the time between PICC-line insertion and bacteremia onset, as well as the prevalence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in medical and surgical wards. It also highlights concerns regarding PICC-line overuse and the adverse outcomes observed in patients with bacteremia. | AI |
The British Mandate-period Town Hall, constructed in 1930, now marks the eastern edge of the compound. As Jerusalem expanded, the city's growing and diverse population required more modern and varied services, leading to the dispersal of municipal offices across the city. This decentralization reduced efficiency, prompting the decision to consolidate the local government into a single building. After extensive discussions, the current site was chosen, despite the challenge of preserving numerous historic and culturally significant 19th-century structures. | AI |
