Obviously, what you will notice immediately is that you are sitting down. You are sitting down comfortably, not like on a normal bike, where you have got quite a small seat, that can become uncomfortable with time. And you have got a great back support, so you’re not actually leaning forward and putting additional pressure on your back. So in terms of the ease of exercise, this is a really great one. By the way, it does come with part-payments, so use those two, if you would like to help you to get this one at home. | HUMAN |
Early in the film, Bill tells Taskin that his wife has left him, and he reacts by aggressively hitting a punching bag. This scene, unfortunately, features some of the least convincing acting in the entire movie. During a conversation with Taskin about the Death Touch case, Bill mentions that he cares about Amanda, though her identity remains unclear and is never fully explained. They also discuss their suspicion that a man named Louis might be the Death Touch killer. Later, Death Touch has an encounter with a prostitute named Jessie, during which he begins to harm her—though her pained reaction seems inconsistent, as she appears to be smiling. When the hotel manager intervenes, Death Touch turns his aggression toward him. | AI |
On behalf of the PSE Group, Mr. President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the directive on European Works Councils was a significant step forward when it was adopted in 1994. While it established only minimum standards, it granted employees in Community-scale groups the right to be informed and consulted, marking a foundational aspect of European labor law. However, it has since fallen behind the evolving realities of corporate structures, the increasing financial focus in company governance, and more recent directives on employee information and consultation. As a result, revising this directive is essential to ensure that employees in Community-scale groups receive timely information and meaningful consultation, particularly in situations involving restructuring, site closures, or large-scale job losses, enabling the exploration of viable alternatives. | AI |
The failure to consult the European Parliament formerly is a disgrace, and the justification for this democratic deficit - that the agreements fall under foreign rather than justice policy - is thin in the extreme. I very much hope the new EU Constitution will stop this ever happening again because we will have future agreements of this kind. I wish the European public could understand - and one day they will - that the real threat to their rights comes not from this Parliament or the Commission - the Community institutions - but from the arrogant, executive powers wielded in intergovernmental cabal by the Council. | HUMAN |
Conclusion We showed that for discrete-time sequences, contrary to continuous-time signals, the classic Heisenberg uncertainty bound is not always achievable and the uncertainty minimizers have a large gap from this bound. We constructed an optimization framework for finding the uncertainty minimizers which we refer to as the “maximally compact sequences”. This framework allows one to find—numerically and efficiently—the most compact sequence in time with a desired frequency spread. We further showed that the discrete-time Fourier transform of these sequences is a very special class of Mathieu’s functions. We also proved analytic bounds on the time-frequency spread of discrete sequences. | HUMAN |
Chen’s first argument is unsuccessful because the regulations do not allow exceptions to the timeliness rule for any changed circumstances, but only for those arising in the country of nationality or the country to which deportation has been ordered, as specified in 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii). Chen also claims that the Due Process Clause entitles him to a hearing on his motion. However, Chen already received a full hearing on his initial asylum application. Although he now seeks relief through adjustment of status, he had the opportunity to raise this issue during his case or in a timely motion to reopen but failed to do so. | AI |
The primary goal is to address the issue of driving licence tourism. Member States hold the main responsibility in this regard, particularly in improving their systems for tracking individuals whose driving privileges have been temporarily or permanently revoked. This Directive should encourage Member States to streamline their administrative processes. While this is a positive step, it is disappointing that the implementation of a single European driving licence will not occur for another twenty-five years. | AI |
This report and this consensus can be a significant step closer to more coherence in European development policy. There is, after all, a great deal of consensus in this House as to what its objectives are, and on the pre-eminent importance of combating poverty, which is not just about pushing poverty back, but also about uprooting it, establishing social justice, creating equal opportunities for development and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. So much for the theory: we have to be clear in our own minds that the practice falls a long way short of that. The new ‘Human Development Report 2005’ tells us that the number of people living in absolute poverty is continuing to increase dramatically. | HUMAN |
Yet, there's almost no money in it as a field. It's insanely hard to make a business out of things like compiler tech or programming languages these days, outside of specialized fields and clients. Unless you have deep pockets and a willingness to throw money into the void for a while, bootstrapping a "competetive" programming language is going to be insanely hard, on any kind of reasonable timeframe. Rust is a good example: Mozilla financed a vast amount of the development for a long time, and sustained it even in the beginning stages when it was much riskier as an investment. That's likely one of the major reasons it's even remotely as popular as it is today, because they ate the cost, to catch up with modern expectations. | HUMAN |
Date Masamune (1567–1636), a feudal lord of the Date clan, played a significant role in expanding trade within the Tōhoku region. Despite facing initial attacks from rival clans and experiencing some defeats, he eventually secured control over one of the largest fiefdoms under the Tokugawa shogunate. He undertook numerous construction projects, including palaces, to enhance the region's appearance. Masamune also actively encouraged foreign engagement, even sponsoring an envoy to establish ties with the Pope in Rome. While his efforts to connect with foreign powers were partly driven by a desire to acquire advanced technology, this motivation was shared by other prominent leaders of his time, such as Oda Nobunaga. | AI |
Just a few days ago Ukraine seemed a distant place. Today we understand Ukraine better and feel closer to the country, which is one of our most important neighbours. Ukrainian society has shown us not only its political maturity, but also its adherence to our common European values. Undoubtedly one of the most important missions of the European Union is to promote democracy and the rule of law. The Union does so, as the Treaty says, by placing individual rights and freedoms at the heart of its activities. | HUMAN |
"Patter-rollers" were busy, too, looking up slaves and whipping them for the flimsiest of excuses. Slaves often outran them to the woods and managed to return to their plantations unobserved. If a pass had a certain hour marked in it, for the slave's return, and he failed to return at the designated houses, this was an offense for which they were punished by the "patter-rollers." " Yes," remarked Mr. Griffin, "We were not even allowed to quarrel among ourselves. Our master would quickly tell us, 'I am the one to fight, not you.'" | HUMAN |
This is due to mill choking. Mill choking is the phenomenon by which the rate of feeding into a mill is faster than the rate at which it can be evacuated from the mill. For full scale coal mills with classifiers and recycle, mill choking happens when the mill is unable to reduce the particles to a size and shape suitable for meeting the Stokes conditions of the classification system. Further feeding into the mill results in increased circuit load due to the necessity of the still oversized material to be recycled and subjected to further comminution. The higher load increases the requirement for energy due to an elongated residence time for comminution. | HUMAN |
This ‘photometric correction’ employed a simple normalisation step, which was done by dividing by the cosine of the incidence angle (Africano et al. , 2005). Atmospheric correction is then carried out using ‘division by scaled volcano’, i. e. by dividing the readings from the image being processed by the ratio of the highest altitude point on Mars (the summit of Olympus Mons, ∼22 km) and its base, then multiply by a factor dependent on the altitude and season of image acquisition in order to remove the effects of atmospheric gases from spectra (Wiseman et al. , 2016). Finally, destriping and despiking is used to remove residual artefacts from the imagery, as well as anomalous spikes in the spectra. | HUMAN |
The German Presidency was one of peaks and troughs, and whilst we have recognised its successes, there were also serious shortcomings, failures and blunders. The German Presidency had to contend with the tragic situation in Kosovo, and the Berlin Declaration left nothing to be desired in terms of clarity. The German Council Presidency, together with the countries of the European Union of the Western Alliance took resolute action in order to oppose the Yugoslavian tyrant and dictator Milosevic. Such action was necessary and just. Our message on the threshold of the year 2000 must be: never again are people in Europe to be driven from their homes, from their homeland. | HUMAN |
The Fifteen successfully agreed on essential institutional changes necessary for the Union to function effectively with a significantly larger membership. Key among these changes are the guarantee that each Member State retains the right to appoint a commissioner and the establishment of improved rules for accessing the closer cooperation mechanism. Additionally, the summit maintained the unanimity rule for decisions on Structural Funds and taxation, which are critical areas for countries like Portugal that rely on EU solidarity and use tax policies to promote investment and savings. | AI |
You talk about Europe’s Christian roots, but if these roots exist, the tragedy of the Mediterranean, tantamount to a humanitarian disaster, is unworthy of them. How can you fail to see that the quota policy, the immigration policy, has failed? Mr President-in-Office of the Council, you have spoken in a serious tone about this tragedy in the Chamber. It would be indelicate of me to remind you that your government ministers have said that such immigrants should be kicked out and sent back to their own countries. Rather, I would draw your attention to the failure of this policy, of the policy of control rather than receiving immigrants and creating a different development model. | HUMAN |
In 1924, the St. William elementary school opened for 104 students under the direction of the Sisters of the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary order. The two sisters commuted from St. Joachim's Parish in Frankford each day and converted the church interior for school use during the week, using the pews as desks and kneelers as seats. In 1925, fundraising was begun to build additions to the chapel/school, and by 1929 two additional floors were built to the existing building to give a total of 12 classrooms for the 450 students. The Chapel was eventually converted into a hall, once the new church was completed. This addition to the school was dedicated on October 5, 1930 by Cardinal Dougherty. | HUMAN |
The scope of this inquiry includes establishing a clear timeline for all actions related to the transaction, ensuring participants are provided with a detailed sequence of events from start to finish. Additionally, it involves addressing security measures to safeguard data integrity and timestamps at every stage of the transaction, including MIS data and communications between participants and the ISO. Furthermore, it is essential to confirm to market participants that financial considerations or credit limitations on the bidding entity did not influence price adjustments, as such factors could have severe consequences, including potential financial distress for certain participants. This clarification is necessary to ensure the ISO is not prioritizing these concerns in its decision-making process. | AI |
Another matter concerns something that was announced the other day by the United States authorities - the electronic travel authorisation scheme. I would like to hear whether the Council and the Commission intend to raise this at the summit with the US. I get the impression that, by now, we have a patchwork of security measures that affect travellers - the electronic travel authorisation, PNR, API, biometric passports, fingerprints, entry-exit systems, automatic targeting system, visa, visa waiver - and the EU is just blindly copying all this. It is time that, instead, we started talking about a coherent, effective and proportional framework of security measures. | HUMAN |
History serves as a record of repeated mistakes and lessons that often go unlearned, particularly in the pursuit of political power and wealth. Leaders and tycoons, driven by personal gain, have frequently exploited false promises of prosperity to manipulate the masses, creating systems that benefit only a select few. These figures, akin to historical tyrants, have gambled on the blind loyalty of the people, disregarding the needs and voices of the majority. True governance, as outlined in principles of conservatism, requires the consent of at least 50% or more of the population, not merely the approval of political elites. This foundational idea emphasizes the importance of majority representation over the whims of a privileged minority. | AI |
The constitutionality of a criminal obscenity statute is the question in each of these cases. In Roth, the primary constitutional question is whether the federal obscenity statute violates the provision of the First Amendment that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” In Alberts, the primary constitutional question is whether the obscenity provisions of the California Penal Code invade the freedoms of speech and press as they may be incorporated in the liberty protected from state action by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. | HUMAN |
in writing. - ( IT) I would like to give my sincere thanks to the rapporteur for her work, because I think it is of fundamental importance to adopt a consistent European policy on human rights and democracy when participating in international dialogue. Too often, in fact, arguments based on economic and strategic interests have prevailed over the good intentions and European values declared in this Chamber. With particular reference to economic and trade agreements with third countries or WTO negotiations, the EU sometimes pays insufficient attention to the rights of workers, minorities, women and children outside the EU, becoming a tacit accomplice in criminal atrocities and intolerable practices. A European social, economic and energy policy that made the EU more independent in terms of human and energy resources would also help Europe to rid itself of certain geopolitical ties that in some situations compel it to keep silent on human rights. | HUMAN |
I’ve stenciled walls before and they are very difficult and time consuming, so be prepared for that. This pattern was no easier than the other I painted previously—it took me 8 hours a day for a week to finish it. The key is to watch tutorials on YouTube and try the different methods others suggest to see what works best for you. The thing I found most helpful is a spray they sell to make the side you put against the wall sticky, so it doesn’t gap when you’re painting with a roller. If you have the patience, the results are amazing!! | HUMAN |
My third point concerns the role you would like the European Commission to play in implementing legislation. I am not talking here about actual governmental functions, although I would note in passing that we should also clarify the exercising of these functions, which must be shared between the Commission, which proposes, and the Council, which decides, with appropriate information provided to the European Parliament. This applies to the fields of police and justice and to the field of common foreign and security policy. With regard to Community competence to implement European legislation, however, we, like you, would like this to be clearly awarded to the Commission and monitored equally by Parliament and the Council, in other words by the two arms of the legislative and budgetary authority. Mrs Randzio-Plath has emphasised this point, moreover. | HUMAN |
I’ve always kept my hair short, but I recently decided to grow it out because I have naturally soft and thick hair that I thought would look good longer. However, now that it’s longer, it’s become a bit of a hassle—it keeps getting in my eyes and ears, sticking out awkwardly, and generally being inconvenient. I’m considering cutting it but would prefer to keep it somewhat long. Any suggestions on styles that might work well would be helpful. | AI |
Beach first gained attention in 1892 with her Mass in E-flat major, which was the first work by a woman ever to be performed by Boston’s prestigious Handel and Haydn Society. Then in 1896 the Boston Symphony Orchestra premiered her Gaelic Symphony, the first to be composed by an American woman. Although it is only fair to acknowledge Beach’s role as a trailblazer, many now consider the Gaelic Symphony to be the first great American symphony, regardless of the composer’s identity. Beach preferred not to write or speak about her experiences as a female composer in an era when women were discouraged from entering the field, and later stated only that she had met with no particular difficulty. In 1900, Beach appeared as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in her Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor—a rare public performance during her married years. | HUMAN |
A substance that facilitates a chemical reaction is known as a catalyst, and enzymes are the molecules that catalyze biochemical reactions. Most enzymes are proteins, and their primary function is to reduce the activation energy required for chemical reactions within cells. Many reactions essential for cellular function occur too slowly at normal temperatures to sustain life. Enzymes enable these reactions to proceed at a viable rate by binding to reactant molecules and positioning them in a manner that promotes the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. Without enzymes, life as we know it would not be possible. | AI |
SBX18, if passed, would provide for a Core/ Noncore customer split, similar to that of the natural gas markets. Utilities would be required to establish a portfolio of electric supplies to serve the needs of bundled core cusomers. Ninety days after the end of the rate freeze, determined by the Commission, customers with loads greater than 500 kilowatts would not be allowed to obtain service from the core portfolio. Any noncore customer not taking electricity directly from an ESP would be provided power by the utility exclusively from the spot market and would be charged the cost incurred by the utility in providing such service. | HUMAN |
The film's weak plot is a disappointment, especially given the visually striking locations and the inclusion of documentary-style segments that feel added primarily to extend the runtime. A tighter edit might have maintained better tension, while a more compelling lead actor could have delivered the lines with greater impact. The female lead is underutilized, leaving her role underdeveloped and contributing to an overall lack of engagement. Though the story gains momentum toward the end, the protagonist's redemption arc arrives too late and would have been more effective if introduced earlier. While not entirely without merit, the film ultimately feels like a missed opportunity. | AI |
After displaying the coal on his tongue, he would proceed to extinguish it in his mouth. The _Mémoires de l'Académie_ note that a person who is salivating can place a live coal in their mouth. The _Dictionnaire de l'Industrie_ explains that sulfur reduces the heat of the coal, as its flame is less intense than that of a candle. It also mentions that the flame produced by a mixture of pitch, rosin, and sulfur is even cooler and far less significant than one might expect. During the experiment, the rosin does not melt, and the sulfur's flame is minimal. M. Gallois recounts observing workers in Swedish iron foundries handling molten cast iron with their hands, likely after preparing them in some way. | AI |
The belief that celestial phenomena profoundly influence human fortunes and destinies has persisted throughout history. This idea is reflected in language, as seen in terms like "disaster" or descriptions of people as "jovial," "saturnine," or "mercurial," which stem from a worldview shared even by figures like Tycho Brahe and Kepler. While modern science has explored the skies and found no evidence of such connections, many ancient beliefs about the stars and their impact on human fate remain embedded in cultural and religious traditions. Even today, celestial maps and globes retain the mythological figures and creatures imagined by early civilizations, preserved as historical curiosities. Despite the progress of science, these enduring illusions continue to captivate us, resisting the efforts of reason to dispel them. | AI |
While Canadian politicians were engaged in nation-building, skilled workers were simultaneously looking to international organizations for their future. Immigrants to Canada brought with them the labour traditions of their homelands and awareness that there were organizations onto which Canadians might graft their own. Some of the first international unions in Canada were based in Britain, but it was American craft unionism that led the way. Coopers, iron moulders, and shoe makers established cross-border alliances and shared strategies back and forth. Withdrawal of labour (in a strike) was invariably countered by employers with the introduction of new workers who were referred to as strikebreakers or, in the colloquial, scabs. | HUMAN |
Zombie movies appeared to fade from prominence over time. While they continued to be produced in the 1990s, they no longer garnered the same attention as earlier works like Romero's 'Dead' series or the 'Return of the Living Dead' films. The genre lacked fresh or innovative ideas during this period. However, the concept remained alive in video games, particularly with titles like Resident Evil. Having only played the game a couple of times, I was uncertain about how a film adaptation would turn out. | AI |

P2Y12R forms a heterodimer with protease-activated receptor (PAR) 4, but not PAR1, which modulates β-Arr-mediated Akt signaling (Khan, Li, Ibrahim, Smyth, & Woulfe, 2014). This suggests that receptor oligomerization contributes to diverse purinergic signaling by modifying receptor properties, including ligand selectivity and interactions with G proteins and β-Arr. Arteries and veins consist of three layers: the intima, media, and adventitia. The intima is a single layer of endothelial cells, while the media is a contractile and elastic layer primarily composed of vascular smooth muscle cells. | AI |
2008), highlighting the diversity of Roman foodways. Of the major town consumer group identified, London stands out as one of the richest sites in terms of types of new food plants, including some of the rarest ones (Van der Veen et al. , 2007, 2008). London is also among the best-studied places in regards to archaeobotany. This is due to the systematic work carried out since the 1970s largely by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) but also other units that were responsible for the study of material from numerous excavations conducted prior to urban development projects. | HUMAN |
I would like to highlight a key aspect of our shared efforts. The effectiveness of our common foreign policy and the tangible outcomes of institutional reforms are increasingly crucial in shaping how European citizens perceive the European Union's capacity to protect their interests, adapt, and progress. There are significant expectations, whether justified or not, for the EU to play a more prominent global role, and we must ensure that these expectations are met to avoid disappointing the citizens of Europe. | AI |
Patriarchy is a system deeply embedded in human history, much like other enduring structures such as the Roman debt system, dominant religious institutions, and the longstanding practice of prostitution. While male dominance is undeniably present, the pursuit of a truly egalitarian society cannot focus solely on the differences between sexes. Instead, the effort must address the institutions within which these differences are framed. Achieving such a society would require a deliberate, step-by-step approach: reshaping cultural norms, reevaluating labor systems, and then collectively rethinking governance—mind, body, and soul. Throughout this process, ongoing dialogue about our practices and mutual tolerances would be essential, but progress cannot hinge on dismantling hierarchical concepts without first establishing a shared, unified framework for action. | AI |
PhD students and postdocs are often paid very little, far below what they could earn in other fields. For example, a checkout clerk at a Swiss supermarket earns more than a CERN PhD student, and a postdoc at CERN earns significantly less than someone working at Google Zurich. This issue is not unique to CERN or physics but is a widespread problem in academia, where highly skilled individuals are underpaid compared to industry standards. The situation is particularly severe in high-energy physics, where job opportunities are scarce, and the competition is among some of the brightest minds—people who could easily secure high-paying roles in finance or tech. | AI |

On August 10, he attended the national quarantine emergency meeting. On September 7, he was included in the list of the 7th Session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly. He attended the 7th National Legal Service meeting held between September 14th and September 15th. | HUMAN |
The group functions as a consultative body tasked with addressing broad questions related to fundamental ethical principles. It is not designed to provide systematic opinions on specific cases, such as the ethical considerations of a patent application or the approval of a particular product for marketing. While its primary focus is on examining fundamental ethical issues, it may also be called upon to evaluate other related matters. As such, the European Group on Ethics could be assigned the responsibility of assessing the ethical dimensions of biotechnology in its entirety. | AI |
By assuming that all stars cooler than 3600 K were fully active, we recalculated the models. We also adopted a power-law initial mass function extending down to a cutoff of 0.1M⊙, which increases the significance of the coolest dwarfs in integrated light compared to direct counting. The Hα and inferred Hβ results, presented in Table 2 as a function of metallicity, show that the ∆Hβ values, even when inflated, fall short of the approximately 0.5 ˚A required to address the Hβ discrepancy. However, the general trend is notable: metal-poor populations have too few cool stars to produce significant emission, while metal-rich populations, as indicated by the final entry in the table, appear to reach a saturation or plateau due to the increasing contribution of non-active but cool stars to the flux. This results in a binary-like behavior, with the "on" state occurring for old populations with metallicities above approximately −0.5 dex in [Z/H]. | AI |
Using a single constant master image for all offset pairs (approach i) fulfills the requirements of this investigation. The offset time-series graphs from TSX Spotlight and Stripmap data (Fig. 7) indicate a notable step in landslide movement in both the range and azimuth directions during late May and early June. Movements exceeding 0.1 meters recorded near the landslide head over an 11-day period further account for the coherence loss observed in the interferograms shown in Fig. | AI |
Madam President, in the course of the debate not surprisingly a number of broader considerations have been raised and I hope the House will forgive me if I am not able to follow even the fruitful avenues that have been pursued. I would like to comment on some of the specific points but I should first of all like to say how much Mr van den Broek would have liked to have been present, in particular, because of his high regard for the reports of Mrs Lenz and Mr Imbeni. | HUMAN |
Sara was puzzled by her daughter’s feelings of isolation, as she had attended the same small private school since she was 18 months old and knew all her classmates well. "I couldn’t blame myself; I knew something was wrong with Charlie," Sara explained. Following a distressing incident in the kitchen, Sara took her daughter to a doctor, who prescribed anti-depressants. She was then referred to a specialist, who diagnosed her with Asperger’s syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. Asperger’s affects social interaction, communication, interests, and behavior, often leading to feelings of anxiety and depression. | AI |
He responds that he does not know and is greatly surprised by the situation. Lancelot, acknowledging his helplessness, says, “Well, let it be as she pleases. I must now take my leave and go to find my lord Gawain, who has entered this land and arranged to meet me directly at the waterbridge.” After leaving the room, he approaches the king and requests permission to proceed in that direction. The king willingly grants his leave. Those whom Lancelot had freed from prison then ask him what they should do next. | AI |
The dopamine system plays a key role in adapting behavior to environmental stimuli by selecting appropriate motor responses and facilitating the learning of beneficial strategies. It enables the distinction between positive and negative stimuli and guides actions to maximize rewards while avoiding harm. Given its critical functions, the dopamine system has likely been subject to significant evolutionary pressure. This raises the question of why dopamine neurons evolved with an intracellular environment prone to oxidation, despite the associated risks for neurodegenerative diseases. The answer to this question is likely multifaceted and complex. | AI |
Yes, that's a 6x margin that maintained itself over six centuries. The 18th century fall and the 16th century fall can likely be attributed to the sudden introduction of new supply in North America; that's an uncertainty that cryptocurrencies do not have. I don't know why gold was stable before but is not now; perhaps it's the fact that a fixed-supply commodity is stable if used as a currency but not stable if used as a form of black-swan insurance. The former use case might have more constant demand, or price stickiness might play a role. | HUMAN |
I don’t believe Sterling deserved more than a yellow for that incident, though opinions may vary. Shelvey’s punishment was justified, as his actions could have been dangerous, similar to Markovic’s recent incident, though his seemed less intentional. I’d prefer officials to focus more on the reckless behavior of players like Fellaini and Adam, who consistently engage in actions that risk serious injury, rather than minor confrontations. Additionally, I think the player who pushed Giroud into the goalkeeper should have faced some form of punishment. | AI |
People with abnormal iron regulatory genes do not reduce their absorption of iron in response to increased iron levels in the body. Thus, the iron stores of the body increase. As they increase, the iron which is initially stored as ferritin is deposited in organs as haemosiderin and this is toxic to tissue, probably at least partially by inducing oxidative stress. Iron is a pro-oxidant. Thus, haemochromatosis shares common symptomology (e.g., cirrhosis and dyskinetic symptoms) with other "pro-oxidant" diseases such as Wilson's disease, chronic manganese poisoning, and hyperuricaemic syndrome in Dalmatian dogs. | HUMAN |
Trintignant is brilliant, aided by a terrific supporting cast, as a nihilistic but debonair professional thief. The plot is very clever with many surprising twists and turns, and this is combined with a philosophical spirit that transcends description. The film within a film angle has never been handled with more panache. I just saw it this week after not seeing it since the 70's, and the film stands the test of time marvelously -- still as fresh, funny, and involving as when I saw it originally. I recommend this overlooked jewel very strongly. | HUMAN |
The signal received at D is yT D = hT DxT + nT D. Finally, let us note that the fourth time–slot is not of interest in the detection process, as the bit transmitted in this time– slot is independent of all the others. So, it can be demodulated without considering previous received bits. However, the need of this time–slot to complete the overall communication is important to assess the network throughput of the system. C. Detection at Node D Upon reception of signals ySD, yRD, and yT D in time– slot one, two, and three, respectively, node D can perform joint demodulation of bS and bT. As mentioned above, bR is treated independently as the related packet is independent of the others. | HUMAN |
Hernández Martínez was personally sympathetic to Nazi Germany and Italy. He appointed Wehrmacht General Eberhardt Bohnstedt as the director of the Military School. The Salvadoran Air Force purchased aircraft from Italy in 1938 for US$39,000 with some of the payment being made with coffee. Minister of National Defense Andrés Ignacio Menéndez attempted to purchase planes from the United States but North American Aviation refused to accept coffee as a percentage of the payment. El Salvador was one of the first nations to recognize the Nationalists under Francisco Franco as the legitimate government of Spain in 1936. | HUMAN |
Alexa prepared for her first fight with the support of many people, describing the experience as beautiful and crediting the crowd’s cheers for motivating her success. Despite the aggressive nature of boxing, she identifies as a quiet and studious girl at school. She admitted to feeling nervous before entering the ring but found energy and courage when the crowd chanted her name. Alexa also shared that during her school days, no one bothered her after she once stood up for herself against a fellow student. | AI |
Another part might be (and I should stress again that I'm just hypothesizing here) that because there are so many applicants for each position now, that there is, almost by necessity, a screening layer of professional HR hiring people (not just the classic recruiters, but "sourcers", recruiters working directly for employers, full-time HR people who specialize in hiring, etc.) And it's actually a real problem because these people aren't, in general, competent to be screening applicants, and indeed can't be, unless they are former software engineers themselves. | HUMAN |
This of course meaning that it does have its moments (though very few) but can get a little over top here and there which makes me feel like the movie is just desperate for laughs but of course not in a good way. The directing was average as well. Barry Levinson is a slightly overrated director and really did not do a good job here. This movie seemed that it had a lot more potential and he did not do much to reach it. Just very average and did not seem like a lot of effort was put into making this film. | HUMAN |
The governor, at one point, threatened to take over municipal utilities because of the amounts they were charging the state for energy. His administration has submitted a request to federal authorities to seek refunds of some $4.8 billion from private and public energy suppliers for what Davis has claimed was overcharging. "The governor has been extremely aggressive with municipal utilities," Maviglio said. " Early on, the governor was complaining that public utilities were charging more per megawatt than private utilities." The audit by PriceWaterhouseCoopers was ordered by DWP General Manager David Wiggs to resolve questions on the pricing by the agency. | HUMAN |
If a requested file dt(k′) for any user k′ is not partially cached, all users remove the least-recently used file and replace it with MF/N′ randomly selected bits from dt(k′). This is possible because the uncached file dt(k′) was transmitted uncoded over the shared link during the delivery phase. This update process ensures that the number of partially cached files remains N′ and that the same files, though not necessarily the same bits, are partially cached across all K users. The proposed coded LRS algorithm is demonstrated with an example, which also shows how its rate can be connected to the rate R(M, N, K) defined in (1) of the decentralized caching algorithm from [18]. | AI |
The growing focus on soil health, along with the establishment of a Soil Health Division and related personnel within NRCS, creates an opportunity to evaluate grazing management strategies aimed at maintaining or improving soil health in natural grazing lands, pastures, and degraded areas through conservation programs (Derner et al., 2016). Integrating soil health into the broader framework of ecosystem services from grazing lands can strengthen the connection between natural resource stewardship and sustainable management practices. This renewed emphasis on soil health provides a chance to advance science-based grazing management by incorporating relevant monitoring data into adaptive decision-making processes. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on prescriptive practices with assumed outcomes, adaptive management emphasizes ecological processes and ecosystem complexity, using feedback loops to inform and refine strategies over time. | AI |
(SV) Madam President, we have unfortunately become well acquainted with this problem in my own country, Sweden. Tourists in a holiday mood are duped into buying shares in apartments with which they are not particularly satisfied when they arrive home, if they have anything at all to show for their purchase when they get there. The new directive on timeshare properties will entail much better protection if the same rules apply anywhere at all in the EU to the purchase of timeshare properties. Proper consumer protection is required if people are securely to be able to make use of the freedoms of the internal market. Consumers must be able to feel strong, secure and safe. | HUMAN |
Everything seemed to be progressing very satisfactorily till one day, some three weeks after the pitching of the camp, the President of the University (Dr. Garland) desired to see me at his office. On entering I found him and a trusted professor awaiting my coming, with disturbed looks. No time was wasted in the preliminaries; Dr. Garland came to the point at once by telling me that there was a mutiny brewing in my camp which it would be impossible for me to quell. He then explained that the cadets were dissatisfied because I was a northern-born man; that they called me a d----d Yankee, and intended running me out of the State. He thought they would be successful, for the ringleaders were old students who had given a great deal of trouble before I came, and, what made the matter worse, these students were sons of influential men in the State, and the mothers of the mutineers were encouraging them. | HUMAN |
challenges them to make the most of the windfall that is Pompey, for the greater good of the commonwealth. There is a notional chain from the gods to the res publica, via Pompey and the Roman citizens: the gods (ab dis immortalibus) gift the citizens (vobis) with Pompey (who hides behind the abstract formulation hoc tantum boni), whom they in turn should not hesitate to utilize for public service (in rem publicam conservandam atque amplificandam). The one who is rhetorically in charge of the sequence di immortales > Pompey > Quirites > res publica is of course Cicero; those who get sidelined in this sequence are all the other members of Rome’s senatorial elite, which was technically in charge of handling all interactions with the divine sphere of political relevance in republican times. | HUMAN |
The pyrolysis fingerprint of a fuel plays a role in determining the rate of soot formation during combustion. Research comparing the pyrolysis fingerprints of torrefied and non-torrefied biomass [27,28] has shown that torrefaction reduces the concentration of certain soot-promoting components, which may contribute to lower fine particulate emissions during the combustion of torrefied biomass. This study investigates this further by using a fixed grate stove with a single combustion chamber to compare two wood fuels and one industrial waste (olive stone), along with their torrefied counterparts. Particulate and gaseous emissions were measured over three consecutive combustion cycles: a cold start followed by two reload cycles. The emissions from the original and torrefied fuels were monitored and compared to assess the effects of torrefaction on different combustion phases, including ignition, flaming, and smoldering. | AI |
At present, we can achieve significant objectives using the existing Community method, such as enhancing our efforts in the Balkans. It is important to reflect on the scale and fragmentation of our actions in this region, as well as the limited outcomes of the initial phase, largely due to this lack of cohesion. Similarly, energy policy serves as another example: the need for a unified approach is evident, particularly now that national oil companies have been replaced by a genuine market requiring coordinated management across the broader framework. | AI |
So far, we have focused on postdictive reorganization occurring over hundreds of milliseconds. Now, we will expand this discussion to include memory updating and perceptual reorganization over longer time scales, ranging from one to several seconds (see section "Extending the 'Postdiction' Concept to the Memory and the Sensory Consequences of Voluntary Movements"). Additionally, we will explore higher cognitive functions, such as hindsight in visual exploration and detection, as well as the postdictive reconstruction of causal attributions in long-term memory, where the relevant time scales extend from minutes to days (see section "Hindsight Bias and Cognitive Consistency"). | AI |
This study adopted a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing telephone interviews to explore self-management in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and their caregivers. The qualitative descriptive method was chosen due to the limited existing research on this topic and its suitability for generating practical insights relevant to policymakers and healthcare professionals. Both individuals with traumatic SCI and their caregivers, referred to as the SCI-caregiver dyad, were included, given the significant role caregivers play in self-management. Additionally, healthcare or clinical managers from adult acute care/trauma and rehabilitation centers were included to provide a broader perspective, combining clinical and health system insights. Telephone interviews were selected to accommodate the geographic diversity and potential accessibility challenges of the participants. | AI |
Recalcitrant seeds remain metabolically active during development, which is a key reason for their sensitivity to desiccation (Pammenter and Berjak, 1999; Berjak and Pammenter, 2008). However, the ultrastructure of meristematic cells in embryonic axes from freshly harvested seeds did not reflect the highly metabolic state typically observed in cells close to radicle protrusion. Such cells usually contain numerous well-developed mitochondria to support cellular respiration, plastids with deposited material, and abundant Golgi bodies (Pammenter and Berjak, 1999). Recalcitrant seeds exhibit a gradual shift in metabolic activity as they approach and enter germination (Pammenter and Berjak, 1999), a pattern supported in this study by the ultrastructure of *T. emetica* seeds sampled at 5 DAP. At this stage, meristematic cells from seeds grown at both ambient and elevated temperatures displayed ultrastructural features indicative of active metabolism (Fig. | AI |
During lunch with Jasmine, Ana is asked if she can share her notes and study materials, including flashcards and detailed mind maps created by her study group. Jasmine explains that she has a major game over the weekend and doesn’t have time to copy everything herself. She’s feeling stressed because she needs to score well on the upcoming test to avoid failing the course. Ana is conflicted—she wants to help her roommate but also needs the materials for her own studies. She worries that refusing could strain their relationship. | AI |
Substitution is commonly used when solving a system with one linear and one nonlinear equation. However, when both equations in the system involve second-degree variables, elimination by addition is often more straightforward than substitution. Elimination is particularly efficient for two-variable systems, as it involves fewer steps compared to systems with three variables. To illustrate this, we will examine the potential solutions for a system of equations representing a circle and an ellipse. | AI |
Soon after my return from the East Indies, in 1793, having learned that the noblemen and gentlemen, associated for the purpose of prosecuting Discoveries in the Interior of Africa, were desirous of engaging a person to explore that continent by the way of the Gambia River, I took occasion, through means of the President of the Royal Society, to whom I had the honour to be known, of offering myself for that service; I had been informed, that a gentleman of the name of Houghton, a captain in the army, and formerly fort-major at Goree, had already sailed to the Gambia, under the direction of the association, and that there was reason to apprehend he had fallen a sacrifice to the climate, or perished in some contest with the natives; but this intelligence, instead of deterring me from my purpose, animated me to persist in the offer of my services with the greater solicitude. I had a passionate desire to examine into the productions of a country so little known, and to become experimentally acquainted with the modes of life and character of the natives. | HUMAN |
In some embodiments, enhancements to known DNS resolution schemes are provided in order to prevent DNS resolution from becoming a bottleneck to the web crawling process, in which hundreds of millions of URLs must be resolved in a matter of hours. One of these enhancements is the use of a dedicated local database 250 (FIG. 2) that stores the IP addresses for URLs that have been crawled by system 200 in the past, which reduces the system's reliance on DNS servers on the Internet. This allows URLs that have been previously crawled by system 200 to be pre-resolved with respect to DNS resolution. The use of a local DNS resolution database 250 enables a high percentage of the system's DNS resolution operations to be handled locally, at very high speed. | HUMAN |
They find King Bong and theorize that he is more powerful than Eebee and has the ability to pull a person's whole being into the Bong World, not just their soul. Eebee, still being bitter from King Bong's implied infidelity, tells them they have to destroy his "symbol", a necklace and the source of his power. Bachman and Brett enter the Bong World (this time a jungle) and are danced on by two mostly nude tribeswomen before being tied up and brought before King Bong with Rabbit. Larnell and Alister enter find the tribe rolling Rabbit up in giant paper, turning him into a massive joint that King Bong shrinks down to a normal size with his necklace. They untie Bachman and Brett and the group attacks the tribe while Larnell shatters the necklace, destroying King Bong and sending them out of the Bong World. | HUMAN |
Thus fell a number of the leading men of Sweden, and, the leaders fallen, Birger attacked and easily dispersed their army, sparing the Swedes, but cutting to pieces all the Germans that could be overtaken. Thus he added greatly to the power of his family, but by an act of treachery and perjury for which Archbishop Lars laid upon him a heavy penance. As for Bishop Kol, who had been made the innocent agent in this shameful deed, he never read mass again, and finally resigned his office and left his country, journeying as a pilgrim to the Holy Land in expiation for his involuntary crime. He never found peace and rest until he found them in the grave. | HUMAN |
Chloe Franks delivers a notably underappreciated performance as the unsettling little girl, arguably the most eerie character in the film. Her segment alone makes the movie worth watching. The final story shifts to a more comedic tone, focusing on entertainment value, which it successfully achieves.

Admitterdly, without reviewing the mark-up I'm shooting blind a bit here. I mention these points mainly as background for my request that you check in with the Enron reps who attended the meeting to see if perhaps your comments are off the mark. After I've read your mark-up and you have done this minor bit of due diligence, we can talk, tomorrow hopefully, in an attempt to resolve whatever differences we actually may have on the terms of the stand-still agreement. I very much hope any such differences are more minor than your comments suggest, as otherwise this might not be a very good start for our clients' efforts to reach an amicable resolution. | HUMAN |
If you need any input from the rest of us to underscore the importance please let us know. As I alluded to on the phone, the people in Houston that have been involved in the VAR process have been through an extraordinary period of detailed scrutiny of VAR by commercial and have been hindered by the lack of basic understanding by all parties as their responsibilities.

Given the lack of precision in the Commission's text, the Committee on Culture wishes to see a programme in which the specific sectors targeted by the framework programme will be clear from the outset. It would like it to be established, from the beginning, exactly how much importance will be given to the various cultural sectors - heritage, music, literature and so on - throughout the programme. According to the proposal put forward by the Commission, the Commission itself would establish priorities and make unilateral decisions on the relative importance of each of these sectors during the lifetime of the programme, in other words over the next five years. | HUMAN |
These features show an interpolating trend from the supergravity calculation of the strongly coupled gauge theory towards the perturbative quantum field theory calculation in the weakly coupled N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. In addition to describing these effects in more detail in the general discussion and conclusions section below, we will also consider the effect of including nonplanar perturbative 1/N corrections from higher derivative terms in the type IIB action as well as non-perturbative contributions due to D-instanton effects. In section 2 we briefly describe generalities about the formalism behind the calculation of plasma photoemission rates based on the computation of two-point correlators of electromagnetic currents. A review of strongly coupled N = 4 SYM plasma results entirely obtained within pure type IIB supergravity, i.e. with no string theory corrections, is presented in section 3. In section 4, which is the longest section of the paper, we introduce details of the formalism and results from our calculations of the leading ’t Hooft coupling corrections to the photoemission rate of a strongly-coupled N = 4 SYM plasma using the gauge/string duality. | HUMAN |
_Growth of the Soil_ represents a significant departure from Hamsun’s earlier works, even those from his early middle period that established his reputation. The novel tells the story of a man living in the wilderness, chronicling the creation and gradual growth of a homestead in the untamed, uncultivated regions of the Norwegian Highlands. It is an epic rooted in the land, a detailed account of a small, self-contained world. The narrative emphasizes themes of endurance, simplicity, and the quiet, unspoken bond between humanity and nature. This relationship is marked by a stern yet nurturing connection, where the protagonist relies on both his own efforts and the natural world for survival and a sense of fulfillment. In contrast, modern life often distances individuals from nature, as people interact with it indirectly, through intermediaries, losing the direct, intimate connection that once defined human existence. | AI |
(NL) Mr President, the current approach to the debt crisis exacerbates the problems. Yes, Greece, Portugal and Ireland are being offered a debt settlement, but their debts are being increased, not reduced. This approach is a disaster - it is solving a debt problem by taking on more debt. Mr President, Europe needs to move on from its taboo on writing off debt. We can move forward by restructuring public debt with a partial writing off of debts in combination with enforcing the requirements of a tightened-up Stability and Growth Pact, including automatic penalties. | HUMAN |
Whether or not Apple would cooperate by providing the appropriate app signature and shipping it to the phone or not is another question. There is of course the legal argument that creating a cryptographic signature against their will is compelled speech and thus they have the right to fight or refuse. Personally, I doubt they'd fight very hard, provided the whole thing were kept secret (which would be in the interest of both Apple and the DOJ). Apple knows quite well that you can't fight city hall (or the CCP). The wiretapped iCloud servers in China are a perfect example of Apple's reputation remaining intact despite shipping a nationwide backdoor for a government to millions of their iPhone and iPad customers. | HUMAN |
Koreans strive to be the best they can in everything they do, and often feel something produced in Korea might not be up to the standard of other countries.

We conclude that Judge Hackett was not required to determine whether Allied’s calculations were reasonable under accepted accounting standards, as he found that the calculations constituted intentional misrepresentations regardless of their compliance with such standards. He determined that Allied exploited its special relationship with the Semaans to create a misunderstanding regarding the gross profit figures. Since Allied’s evidence did not present an irreconcilable conflict on a material issue, Judge Hackett was not obligated to address it under Rule 52. | AI |
But to do so required Nasa to first spin the station 180 degrees. It was then spun back again when the boost was completed. To move the station, the thrusters of Esa’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) were fired. Usually, boosts are performed by a spacecraft docked to the ISS to raise the height of the space station or to avoid debris. The orbit of the ISS is regularly maintained, sometimes several times a year, but it is fairly rare for an ATV to be used for the procedure. | HUMAN |
Refuse you alcohol, won't let you into the bar (if it's 21 and over), and there are such things as "Minor in Posession (MIP)" and "Minor in Consumption (MIC)", as well as DUI "Driving Under the Influence" which can count for a minor driving with ANY amount of alcohol in their system and it's also the charge people get when driving while on drugs. It is different than a DWI which is "Driving While Intoxicated" for those caught driving while at a BAC of .08 or higher, regardless of age. I've gotten an MIP when I got pulled over and had a 6-pack of beer in my backseat. This also brings up false identification charges or failure to identify for minors (or anyone really) using fake IDs which are grounds for immediate detainment. Shit sucks. | HUMAN |
Two women in animal print onesies faced the cold weather to take a dip in the North Sea for a charitable cause.

Karna demonstrated exceptional skill in archery, rivaling or surpassing Arjuna. He defeated the formidable Jarasandha in a single day, a feat that took Bhima two weeks to accomplish. Karna also overcame Arjuna in group combat, forcing him to retreat, and dismantled over a thousand illusions created by Ghatotkacha, nearly killing him before Ghatotkacha used his special powers to escape. He spared the lives of Yudhishthira, Nakula, and Sahadeva multiple times, as well as Bhima, whom he nearly defeated on several occasions. Karna triumphed over warriors such as Dhrishtadyumna, Satyaki, Bhima, and Arjuna. Possessing the invincible Kavach-Kundal and wielding powerful weapons like the Bhargavastra, Nagastra, Nagpasha, and Brahmastra, he showcased unparalleled strength. Karna also eliminated Visoka and decimated a significant portion of the Pandava army with his Bhargavastra. Throughout the final battle, he consistently appeared superior to Arjuna, demonstrating mastery over the five elements and other advanced weaponry. | AI |
Being a maximising ethical theory, Utilitarianism is also open to a Demandingness Objection. If it is not the case that pleasure needs to be merely promoted but actually maximised at all opportunities, then the standard for acting morally appears to be set extremely high.

Canada is a physically difficult place to govern and a difficult place to adequately conceive of as well. Culturally it presents enormous and largely unique challenges. There are other bilingual countries, such as Belgium, but they are typically small countries. There are other nations that claim vast territories, such as the United States, Russia, and China, but their populations are comparatively gigantic. There are other federations, though most share some definitive historic moment or condition that binds them together (revolutionary America, isolated Australia, and post-Berlin Wall Germany come to mind). | HUMAN |

Mr President, I should like to congratulate Mrs Kolarska-Bobińska on her excellent and very hard work. As we have heard a lot of ambitious targets here - and my honourable friend Mr Turmes referred repeatedly to application - I think we should all congratulate the Commission on the recent communication which it issued in November on energy strategy issues. This is the first realistic strategy we have seen. The Commission refers specifically and clearly to the difficulties; it defines them and suggests what the difficulties are and where there is a margin for us to implement the targets we have set. | HUMAN |
We therefore conclude that Judge Hack-ett was not required to make a finding *727concerning whether Allied’s calculations were reasonable under accepted accounting standards because he found that, under the circumstances of this case, the calculations were intentional misrepresentations regardless of whether they were reasonable under accepted accounting standards. He concluded that Allied abused its special relationship with the Semaans to foster a misunderstanding of what the gross profit figures meant. Thus, because Allied’s evidence did not create an irreconcilable conflict in the evidence concerning a material issue, Judge Hackett was not obliged to address it under Rule 52. | HUMAN |
Renewable energy generation plays a significant role in driving economic growth at various scales, providing an environmentally sustainable resource, and reshaping global energy security and interdependency dynamics. However, the environmental impact of renewable energy infrastructure and the costs associated with developing new technologies necessitate the use of precise numerical methods to reliably estimate power output, optimize designs, and minimize ecological effects. Ocean and coastal models have become essential tools for studying complex geophysical fluid dynamics and their interactions with biological and geochemical processes. These models offer valuable insights for scientific research and engineering applications, enabling the assessment of anthropogenic impacts, the vulnerability of coastal and urban areas to natural hazards, and the exploration of hydrocarbon resources and sequestration strategies. | AI |

The extremist group has promised to strike back against the US for trying to destroy the group, which has currently taken over wide swathes of Iraq and Syria. ‘ In response to [US] airstrikes, the Islamic State called on supporters to attack foreigners wherever they are,’ the warning reads. ‘ Authorities believe there is an increased likelihood of reprisal attacks against US, Western and coalition partner interests throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia.’ | HUMAN |
If your example had been that one person in a relationship was caught having an affair, your point would have been clearer (and it is a good point minus the example). In that case, trust is broken and there may or may not be a knowledge or suspicion in the back of your mind for months or years to come. However, that doesn't mean that they can't work it out if the two honestly want to make the relationship last. Trust can be rebuilt, with time and a great amount of effort (and probably couple's counseling) , if two people truly love each other. | HUMAN |

It is quite possible that he thought his wife said enough upon the subject to suffice for both. Mrs. Talbot made a point of visiting her neighbors, if she chanced to hear of their meeting with any trouble or misfortune. The reason she gave for so doing was that she might sympathize with them; and if sickness invaded a household Mrs. Talbot was sure to be there; but I used often to think that her friends must look upon her as one of "Job's comforters," for no sickness was so severe, no misfortune so great, that she did not prophesy something worse still. According to her own ideas she was often favored with warnings of sickness and misfortune both to her own family and others. | HUMAN |
