The royal couple stated that they had been attracted to the project since it seemed to be a perfect match for their desires and interests: on the one hand a vacation resort far away, where they might take holidays without too many prying eyes; and on the other ecologically and sustainably responsible, investing in the local economy and ecology (which the Prince and Princess both have a personal interest in). Plus located in Africa, a continent that has been dear to several generations of the royal family. So, after contacting Mozambican president Armando Guebuza to verify that the Mozambican government had no objections, the couple decided to invest. | HUMAN |
This dual instrumentality allows producers and leads to identify, on an ongoing basis, any areas of the development that are falling behind schedule. With the awareness of the situation provided by these intermediary tools, the producers will be able to make decisions to reschedule or change the project in some way to address this risk. The first form of project management tool, milestone agreements between the developer and publisher, define the overarching timeline for the project. Milestones are regular dates during a project (typically around every month or 6 weeks) for which the developer has to demonstrate they have completed a certain level of work. They are of significance because the publisher finances the project in ongoing instalments tied to successful milestone submissions. | HUMAN |
Not a man there but had run the gamut of human emotions in trying to protect his ranch; they had driven herders off with guns; they had cut their huddled bands at night and scattered them for the coyotes; they had caught unwary Mexican _borregueros_ in forbidden pastures and administered "shap lessons," stretching them over bowlders and spanking them with their leather leggings; they had "talked reason" to the bosses in forceful terms; they had requested them politely to move; they had implored them with tears in their eyes--and still like a wave of the sea, like a wind, like a scourge of grasshoppers which cannot be withstood, the sheep had come on, always hungry, always fat, always more. | HUMAN |
The upper limit injection runs incorporate a safety margin, with confidence levels typically ranging from 96% to 97%. However, for a small fraction of upper limit bands—less than 1% of the total in each search—the confidence level fell below 95%. These bands were often associated with significant instrumental line contamination. Given the computational expense of repeating the procedure, upper limits for these bands were excluded from the final results. The derived upper limits on \\( h_0 \\), calculated in 1 Hz bands, are presented in the figures. | AI |
On 22 November 1668, Don Juan de Urtarte, who served as governor of the province from 9 June 1668 to 26 July 1669, submitted a memorandum to the King of Spain. In it, he noted that Fort Santiago was unsuitable for defense due to its round shape and its construction from mud and stone. Several years later, Governor Don Sancho Fernando de Angulo y Sandoval initiated the construction of a new fortress without approval from the war council. He argued that the San Antonio de la Eminencia castle failed to meet the city's defensive needs, as it was situated on a hilltop far from both the city and the coast. The governor also pointed out that the castle lacked adequate water supplies and accommodations for soldiers, making it incapable of withstanding prolonged sieges. | AI |
The directions of the arcs appear to be well-defined, likely due to the influence of a whitelist and blacklist, which enforce consistent directional patterns across nearby arcs. An initial review of arc strengths above the threshold reveals that 15 out of 18 arcs in the consensus network occur with a frequency of at least 0.85. Additionally, all arc directions are firmly established, with frequencies uniformly equal to 1. This clarity enables further simplification of the consensus network, as illustrated in Fig. [X]. | AI |
The assessment was designed to identify any barriers to achieving a successful medical visit that may exist. Individuals providing the information included the patient or their primary caregiver. If concerns were raised during the telephone assessment, individualized plans were created by the staff member performing the assessment to overcome these barriers within the existing medical office setting. Data collected from the individualized plans and the initial visit included patient concerns identified during the pre-visit assessment, if the patient needed a unique clinical intervention(s), description of the unique clinical intervention, any outcomes associated with the intervention (i.e. were patients able to tolerate the necessary parts of the clinical visit), and any adverse events that may have occurred at the initial visit. | HUMAN |
He described nuclear propulsion as a transformative technology for space exploration, emphasizing the goal of demonstrating its viability and cost-effectiveness within the next three years. He noted that radioactive isotopes like strontium-90, with a half-life of 28.8 years, or cesium-137, with a half-life of 30.1 years, could serve as potential power sources for the reactors. He also highlighted the potential for NASA to utilize nuclear fission to enable future missions to destinations such as Jupiter and its moon Europa, Neptune, and the Kuiper Belt. Dr. Houts explained that nuclear thermal propulsion represents a fundamentally new capability, as it derives energy from fission rather than chemical reactions. | AI |
Moreover, this mortality appears to be early, which is new compared to the data in the literature. Conventionally, the risk of bacteremia is associated with a prolonged duration of installation thereof and the number of handling. This duration is identified at 21 days in most It may be objected that the vast majority of these works involved the introduction of PICC-line in the intensive care unit or resuscitation unit. The result of our study is possibly biased by the choice of inclusion criteria. It is likely that, by including only patients in a single hospital stay, we did not take into account some of the late bacteremia and their associated complications. | HUMAN |
Doha, Qatar, April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Qatar, which holds the world's third-largest reserves of natural gas, said foreign companies may invest as much as $15 billion into the Gulf state's energy industry over the next five years. ``A major chunk of this is expected to come from the U.S.,'' said Qatar's finance minister, Youssef Hussein Kamal, who spoke at an investment conference in Doha attended by a delegation from the U.S. Congress. ``Qatar offers foreign investors security and political stability.'' Dolphin Energy Ltd., a venture of the Abu Dhabi government, Total Fina Elf SA and Enron Corp., signed an accord with Qatar last month to buy more than $2 billion in natural gas a year. Dolphin would develop Qatar's North Dome field, the world's largest natural gas field, and build a pipeline under the Gulf to the United Arab Emirates and Oman. | HUMAN |
So I drive down to the county health department where they take my down my sexual history for the last five years and run tests for every other STD. This includes the test for chlamydia, which involves sticking a cotton swab inside your urethra (which the doctor didn't warn me about before she did it). Then they tell me that I can wait for the results of the tests to to confirm the diagnosis and then come back for the treatment in a couple of weeks, or get the shot of penicillin now without waiting for the confirmation. I say, what the hell, I'm already here, shots don't bother me, I don't really want to have to come back, I'll just get the penicillin now. | HUMAN |
Picnic tables have traditionally been made with wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) to prevent decomposition in wet conditions. However, this treatment poses risks, as demonstrated by a case where a worker experienced severe arsenic poisoning after cutting CCA-treated boards to build a picnic table. CCA-treated wood was commonly used in the U.S. for outdoor structures from the 1940s until 2003, when an agreement between the Environmental Protection Agency and wood treatment manufacturers halted its use. Arsenic continues to leach from CCA-treated wood throughout the lifespan of the picnic table, which can last up to 20 years. | AI |
These reactions lead to cleavage of bonds between carbon atoms and other atoms such as halogens to produce radical species. These radicals are highly reactive and react further to remove hydrogen or OH radicals from water to produce C-H or C-OH bonds or may react with themselves to produce larger molecules. Well known examples of atmospheric photochemical stratospheric reactions of CFCs that have had a negative impact on the socalled ozone layer and photochemical oxidations of hydrocarbons that are involved in the generation of smog. | HUMAN |
Swim Spray absolutely made such a significant difference following a 45 minute pool workout. For the past four months I have been utilizing an indoor warm water swimming pool and for several weeks had been suffering with an apparent skin reaction to the pool water. Showering immediately and laundering everything that touched the pool water did not improve the severe itching and dry skin. Moisturizing lotions had no effect. Only after using the swim spray as directed have I finally found the solution and I am so thankful. | HUMAN |
The hospital placed me in a medically induced coma for a month due to concerns about potential brain damage, but when I woke up, I appeared to be completely normal. It wasn’t until about six months later that I began exhibiting strange behavior. According to my brother, I entered his bedroom one night, shook him awake, and stared at him without speaking. When he asked what I wanted, I responded in what he described as a deep, gravelly voice, warning him not to ride trains and to be cautious around train tracks. After he asked why, I simply walked away without explanation. | AI |
The battle raged on, its clamor rising to the skies. Teucer, son of Telamon, was the first to strike down an opponent, killing Imbrius, son of Mentor, a wealthy horseman. Imbrius had once lived in Pedaeum, where he married Medesicaste, an illegitimate daughter of Priam. When the Achaean fleet arrived, he returned to Ilium and became a prominent figure among the Trojans, living near Priam and receiving honors equal to the king’s own sons. Teucer struck him beneath the ear with a spear, and Imbrius fell like an ash tree cut down on a mountain peak, its green leaves tumbling to the ground. As he collapsed, his bronze armor clattered loudly, and Teucer moved to strip it from him. But as he did so, Hector took aim and hurled a spear in his direction. | AI |

Romantic sentiment--counted out of place in such arrangements by the society they belonged to--seems not to have been dreamed of on either side. But they had arranged it for themselves, which to Aurore would naturally seem, as indeed it was, an improvement on the usual mode of procedure, according to which the burden of choice would have rested with her guardians. It was a _mariage de raison_ founded, as she and he believed, on mutual friendliness; in reality on a total and fatal ignorance of each other's characters, and probably, on Aurore's side, of her own as well. She was only just eighteen, and had a wretched home. | HUMAN |
My dad had the old 'vein stripping' operation back in the late 1960's...which sounded exactly like a torture session straight out of the Spanish Inquisition---they would cut and yank out the veins and leaves scarring-not able to walk for days or weeks. These days, it's outpatient and you're back on your feet the next day (with compression garments to contain the swelling) with full recovery in about two weeks. Insurance covers 100% of the cost in most cases (as this is NOT a cosmetic issue, it's a very real health concern) and I made no co-pay since my surgeon performs the procedures in his own office facility. | HUMAN |
The film portrays the daily life of a dreamer who struggles to find success, whether in his professional or social life. However, it aims to highlight that despite these shortcomings, the main character (whose name escapes me) remains an original and imaginative individual with intriguing thoughts. This is illustrated through the various imaginary sequences Lepage introduces, as well as the video the character creates for the SETI program. Notably, many of the character's insightful observations and clever remarks occur while he is filming this project, often in solitude. This underscores the idea that while he may seem unremarkable on the surface, he is, in fact, a deeply interesting person. | AI |
The anergates, a small brown ant species, lacks its own worker caste and instead lives as a parasite within the nests of other ant species, relying on their workers for survival. This relationship highlights the adaptability of reproductive ants and the submissive nature of the non-reproductive workers, which are essentially sterile females whose sexual traits have been entirely redirected toward maternal behaviors. In many species, a transitional form between reproductive females and workers exists, offering insight into this evolutionary shift. After mating, not all females return to the colony; some establish temporary nests, functioning temporarily as workers until their first eggs hatch. These eggs produce only workers, enabling the construction of a new, functional ant colony. | AI |
The gaps between treatment cycles were getting shorter and shorter as the cancer keeps returning.' Her hopes are pinned on a groundbreaking new trial combining two cancer drugs to target blood supply to tumours, destroying them, then stopping them from regrowing. The two drugs, which have not been used together before, are fosbretabulin and pazopanib. Fosbretabulin is one of a class of drugs known as a vascular disruptive agent (VDA) and destroys the blood cells supplying existing cancer cells. Pazopanib, which is licensed for kidney cancer, prevents the development of new blood vessels. | HUMAN |
The bicarbonate buffer system functions similarly to the phosphate buffer, using a weak acid or base to neutralize free ions and maintain stable pH levels. In blood with a normal pH, bicarbonate ions and carbonic acid exist in a 20:1 ratio, ensuring the system is highly effective at counteracting acidic shifts. This is particularly important because metabolic byproducts like lactic acid and ketone bodies tend to increase acidity. Carbonic acid levels are regulated by the removal of CO2 through respiration in the lungs. | AI |
This is a fairly unremarkable shot-on-video horror film, marketed with the claim of being "too gory for the silver screen" on the video box. The story follows a heavy metal enthusiast who experiences dreams about a succubus and attempts to summon her through rituals. His sister hosts a party at their house, attended by a group of indistinct characters, and the gathering itself is rather dull. The succubus begins killing people, but the deaths go unnoticed for some time. Aside from a few exterior shots of the house, the entire film appears to take place indoors, primarily within the main characters' home. | AI |
Mr. President, while numerous resolutions allow us to express our views, they often lack the necessary enforcement mechanisms, rendering them ineffective against totalitarian regimes. Such dictators may dismiss or mock these resolutions, as seen in the actions of Mr. Lukashenko, who systematically erodes civil liberties. Press freedom has been nearly eradicated, and, as Mrs. Schroedter noted, parliamentarians have been imprisoned. It is crucial that we demonstrate strong solidarity with these parliamentarians and the Belarusian opposition. Additionally, we must urge the Council to adopt a firm and decisive stance in addressing this situation. | AI |
Both sites often cover the same stories, but Slashdot tends to publish them earlier than SN. SN frequently allows low-quality submissions to pass through, many of which would likely be rejected on Slashdot. A significant portion of these submissions come from a small group of frequent contributors known for sharing biased and inflammatory content. While Slashdot’s editorial standards are not particularly strong, SN’s editors appear to perform even worse, as evidenced by some questionable submissions that have reached SN’s front page. | AI |
Lemnaru's only book, the 1946 fantasy short story collection Omul și umbra, was quoted at the Sburătorul literary circle but did not arouse interest. In Azi magazine in 1935, he published a fragment of the unfinished novel Adonis hâdul. During his later years, he moved into the shadows of literary life, polishing translations of insignificant Russian-language works and himself translating Émile Zola, Romain Rolland and Robert Merle from the French. Omul și umbra, which could not be published under the communist regime that eschewed its sort of fantasy, was reissued in 2000. | HUMAN |
If a battle were to occur in the office I’m currently in, and I only had access to items within this room, I could easily survive here for 3 to 5 days. The room measures approximately 8 by 10 meters and features four windows, each equipped with shutters. The windows are positioned about 3.6 meters above the ground outside, as the building is elevated, with the rear closer to the sloped motor pool and the front higher to maintain a level floor. The shutters allow me to secure the windows, preventing any potential threats, such as a large group of toddlers attempting to break through the glass while I focus on monitoring the corner with two doors. | AI |
This provides an additional contribution to the inflationary potential. 3. Angular stability analysis Naively, after we further stabilize the volume modulus σ in (2.18) at a given value of τ, we obtain a single field potential in τ. However for this statement to hold for the entire deformed throat, we need to ensure that the broken angular isometries are much heavier than the radial mode and effectively stabilized at their minima along the entire extremal trajectories. In this section, we investigate this issue for all broken isometries by examining their effective masses which depend on the radial direction. | HUMAN |
There are two aspects to the harmful effects of plutonium: the radioactivity and the heavy metal poison effects. Isotopes and compounds of plutonium are radioactive and accumulate in bone marrow. Contamination by plutonium oxide has resulted from nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents, including military nuclear accidents where nuclear weapons have burned. Studies of the effects of these smaller releases, as well as of the widespread radiation poisoning sickness and death following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have provided considerable information regarding the dangers, symptoms and prognosis of radiation poisoning, which in the case of the Japanese survivors was largely unrelated to direct plutonium exposure. | HUMAN |
But like a naughty child he did not listen and again slipped and fell. They quickly used their trunks to help him out though.' The 46-year-old amateur photographer called the series of photos 'Together with Love' Though the mother did try to keep the calf away from the water, he didn't listen 'like a naughty child' But as soon as he slipped, the four elephants quickly used their trunks to rescue him. Addo National Park is the third largest in South Africa. The original elephant section of the park was developed in 1931 to protect the animals, when only around 11 elephants remained in the area. | HUMAN |
On June 15, 1968 (after the III. University Reform), the Chemistry Section was established and the Institutes of Chemistry were dissolved, making Geiseler the last director of the Physico-Chemical Institute since Wilhelm Ostwald. The aim of this introduction of sections was, on the one hand, to create conditions for more easily feasible interdisciplinary cooperation, and on the other hand, to create clear hierarchies so that the universities could be more easily supervised. The sections each had a section director, who in turn reported directly to the director of the university. The first section director of chemistry was Prof. Siegfried Hauptmann (1968–1972). | HUMAN |
We finally get back to her place and the last few people of the group leave (including her room mate) and it's just me and her. What movie did she put on? Knocked up. I thought it'd be funny but it didn't take long before that tiny alarm I mentioned earlier rang louder than my dick could harden. I ended up watching the whole film (partially because I missed it in theaters and wanted to see it and partially because I was too horrified by what I had seen and what I was seeing.) | HUMAN |
The bishop nodded and studied the man’s sharp features with growing curiosity. "I’ve heard it said that a nation’s industrial advancement is closely tied to its production of steel and iron. While I’m no expert in economics, the idea seems plausible. Your neighbors across Lake Superior, as I understand, have vast reserves of these materials, and their industrial success is undeniable. However, from what I’ve gathered, this region lacks such deposits. I imagine you’ve given this some thought, and I’d be curious to hear your perspective." | AI |
Mr. Flower discovered a copy of Mainwaring's biography, with marginal notes said to be in the handwriting of George III, and there we read: "G. F. Handel was ever honest, nay excessively polite, but like all Men of Sense would talk all, and hear none, and scorned the advice of any but the Woman he loved, but his Amours were rather of short duration, always within the pale of his own profession." The _Anecdotes of Handel and Smith_ mention two occasions on which he was said to have become engaged to be married, or nearly so, but the writer is so reticent that little faith can be placed in his statement, and in any case the _Anecdotes_, published in 1799, are not very reliable as far as Handel is concerned. | HUMAN |
In contrast to some previous studies among working age \\[[@B10],[@B11]\\] or adolescent samples \\[[@B15],[@B16]\\], there were fewer associations between the examined forms of health behaviour and ILOC. ILOC was neither associated with a higher likelihood of being a former or current smoker, nor for more frequent drinking, nor for using illicit drugs. However, high ratings on the ILOC scale were associated with an increased chance of more physical activity during a normal week and with paying more attention to healthy nutrition. This is consistent with the theory postulated by Steptoe and Wardle \\[[@B19]\\] that ILOC has stronger effects on health maintenance behaviour (e.g. healthy nutrition) \\[[@B33]\\] than on multiply determined risk behaviours (e.g. smoking, alcohol consumption and drug use). | HUMAN |
Young Caleb gets Lucinda's paper, and his father John - an MIT astrophysics professor who lectures his class about the competing theories of randomness vs. purpose - becomes fascinated with it and finally realizes that it's a list of dates when tragedies will happen, showing not only when they'll happen but where and how many will die. From that point on there's a real creepiness to the movie as the next two of Lucinda's prophecies come true, and John finally realizes what the final one (which didn't identify a number of people killed, but simply recorded "EE") is. Through most of the movie there was a sort of quasi-religious, sort of new age/sort of Christian theme going on. There are a number of biblical references, and it turns out that John's father is a pastor, although John himself is filled with doubt, especially after the death of his wife before the movie started. The final prophecy (as it starts to unfold) creates suspense but also became a little bit silly, as the identities of the "whisperers" was revealed. | HUMAN |
I haven’t read many of the recent articles on this topic because it’s already widely understood that supplements can be unreliable. The main issue with vitamins, particularly in the U.S., is the lack of regulation, which means there’s no guarantee that the product contains what it claims or that it doesn’t include undisclosed ingredients. This poses risks for individuals with allergies or specific health conditions that could make these hidden components harmful. To ensure quality, it’s worth looking for supplements that are USP certified (United States Pharmacopoeia) or tested by Consumer Labs, an independent company that evaluates products. | AI |
The Center provided funding to Christopher W. Ruddy, who later founded NewsMax, to investigate conspiracies surrounding Vincent Foster’s death as part of the Arkansas Project. It placed approximately 50 ads in the Washington Times reprinting Ruddy’s Pittsburgh Tribune-Review stories, which were then compiled into a packet titled "The Ruddy Investigation" and sold for $12. Additionally, full-page ads promoting Ruddy’s allegations were purchased in major newspapers such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and Los Angeles Times. This ad campaign generated over $500,000, with half coming from individual donors—many of whom purchased Foster conspiracy materials—and the other half from foundations, including $100,000 from the Carthage Foundation. The Carthage Foundation, controlled by Richard Mellon Scaife, contributed $330,000 to the Center in 1994 and 1995. Later, the Center distributed a video titled *Unanswered: The Death of Vincent Foster*, produced by James Davidson, chairman of the National Taxpayers Union and co-editor of the *Strategic Investment* newsletter, which featured Ruddy’s claims. | AI |
Secondly, it is clear that Belgium has also led the discussion in the Council on measures against child abuse - measures which can coordinate a standard approach to child abuse in all countries as the most scandalous violation of children's rights. The Belgian government did not obtain satisfaction in respect of all its requests in February in the Council. For example, it is most regrettable that a point that Martin Schulz just mentioned, that is, the possession of child pornography for personal use, was not considered by the Council. Nor was Belgium able to convince the Council at that time as regards the principle of territoriality and the abolition of double incrimination. But I am glad this European Parliament is able to support those proposals and place on the table a very strong package of measures on which the European Commission, the Member States and the European Council must all now get to work. | HUMAN |
I high tail it home instead of trying to look for the pokemon. I was kind of afraid that they were hunting me down because they came back down T St to find me after that first encounter. There looked to be about 3-4 people in the van. I couldn't see the license plate of the van because it was already starting to get dark and they would speed away after each incident. My guess is they assumed whoever was looking down at their phones was playing the game and wanted to humiliate them. | HUMAN |
In 1940, Barrymore appeared in The Great Profile, a spoof of his life in the months prior to My Dear Children. Barrymore played Evans Garrick, closely modeled on his own experience, and Mary Beth Hughes played his wife. The critics reacted harshly to the film, and to Barrymore's association with it. The New York Times wrote that "As a play it is a feeble thing, hardly matching the spectacular public accounts of his amours ... for all of Mr. Barrymore's shenanigans and devastating wit, The Great Profile is more than a little pathetic. In the Winter of his Discontent Mr. Barrymore is selling his talent at cut-rate". | HUMAN |
The fundamental issue at hand is floating point arithmetic, which is a fancy way of saying that computers will always round a number to fixed number of significant digits.

He, like a skilled negotiator, countered with complaints about the injuries and losses inflicted by our soldiers. Regarding his promise to return the territories unlawfully seized from the Emperor, he avoided commitment by framing it as a dilemma: *Either I made a promise, or I did not.* If no promise was made, he argued, there was nothing to demand. If a promise was made, he suggested that it was unreasonable to expect him to fulfill it, as his duty was to expand, not reduce, his master’s empire. He emphasized that his role was to improve, not worsen, his master’s position, and any further discussion on the matter should be directed to his master in Constantinople. Concluding, he cited his recent recovery from illness as a reason to end the conversation. | AI |

The next orchestration was undertaken by the British conductor Henry Wood in 1915. He recorded a few sections of his arrangement on a pair of acoustic Columbia 78rpm discs in 1920. However, he withdrew his version when Maurice Ravel's orchestration was published, and banned every public performance in the 1930s in deference to Ravel's work. Wood's arrangement has also been recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Nicholas Braithwaite and issued on the Lyrita label. All but the first of the Promenade movements were omitted and other passages extensively re-composed. | HUMAN |
The Federal Reserve can establish broad economic conditions to ensure overall strength in the economy and labor market. However, if specific areas continue to experience distress, it may fall to other policymakers to address those issues. Mr. Kildee raises the question of whether the Fed has tools to intervene in cases where other policymakers are unable or unwilling to act. While the Fed’s mandates focus on aggregate data, there is a concern that relying solely on averages may overlook localized challenges, such as those faced by certain communities. Mr. Kildee emphasizes the need to consider whether the Fed possesses targeted tools to address such disparities, particularly in areas that remain economically disadvantaged despite broader improvements. | AI |

Study design and eligibility criteria are known barriers in patient accrual for clinical research studies, in particular, for research being conducted in a palliative care setting. As a result, research studies implemented in the RRRP were created to involve mainly concise, simple QOL questionnaires that are relevant to the majority of patients referred for our services. For example, two major studies at present involve validated QOL questionnaires that examine outcomes after radiotherapy in patients with bone and brain metastases. These require patients to complete a concise, simple 10-minute questionnaire at baseline and repeat that same questionnaire during follow-up over the telephone. Since the majority of the cases seen at the RRRP are for symptomatic bone or brain metastases treatment, a large percentage of referrals are eligible for the clinic's research studies. | HUMAN |
1 INTRODUCTION A number of recent research efforts are directed towards integrating logic-oriented and probability-based represen tation and reasoning formalisms. In particular, there are approaches to probabilistic logic programming that com bine logic prograrruning techniques with probabilities over possible worlds [25, 26, 4, 5, 19]. They are based on the model-theoretic notion of logical entailment, which is well known from probabilistic propositional logics [28, 7, 6]. The notion of logical entailment, however, has often been criticized in the literature for its inferential weakness. For this reason, many recent approaches towards integrating logic and probabilities combine logic-based formalisms with Bayesian networks [33, 32, 12, 27, 14]. | HUMAN |
draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy. - I just wish to inform the House that the compromise package of amendments, which is in the first block, and amendment 15 represent a hard-negotiated compromise with the Council and the Commission. I would urge colleagues to vote for the package and against any other amendment, irrespective of its content or merits, because we have an agreement that will enable the Framework Programme to go forward and be implemented in January. Adopting any other amendment might put that at risk by reopening the procedure, which would be a matter of great concern to the research community. | HUMAN |
I got this to mix my own ejuice and began to make my own. Everything I made had a strange flavor to it that the ejuice I was accustomed to did not have. After much trial and error, as well as tasting this liquid directly with my tongue, I tried to vape the straight VG to test just the VG and found the strange flavor in this single element. I have since purchased a 50/50 mix of PG/VG and it does not have this strange taste. I will not buy this again. | HUMAN |
I’m surprised by the low rating this film has received. It’s a blend of screwball comedy and romance, directed by someone other than Billy Wilder, yet it succeeds remarkably well and even earned an Oscar. This marked Ingrid Bergman’s first U.S. film since the 1950s, and while she no longer embodies the youthful allure of her earlier roles, she delivers a strong performance in a challenging part, showcasing her versatility beyond her appearance. Goldie Hawn, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in her debut film, excels as the modern, sophisticated, yet eccentric mistress to Walter Matthau’s womanizing dentist character. | AI |
The film’s audio transfer enhances the experience, and its graphic violence is striking, featuring scenes like exploding heads, grotesque pimples, a cleaver to a zombie’s throat, burned-off limbs, intestinal devouring, and zombie babies. It’s a film tailored for hardcore fans of Italian zombie action. Despite its flaws—such as an inconsistent plot, poor dubbing, stiff acting, and a deliberately irreverent tone—it has its merits, including strong set pieces and cinematography. Watching a clean print, rather than a low-quality copy, significantly improves the viewing experience. The film maintains a relentless pace, and its imperfections contribute to its unique charm. | AI |
The large gap that Turkey holds in the global index continues to show that women in Turkey face some of the biggest inequalities in the world based on a multitude of measurements. Since 2009, the male to female enrollment ratio for universities in Turkey increased from 12 percent to 14 percent, and since 2005, graduation rates for college students have increased by 170 percent. While attainment levels remain low, only 18 percent of 25 to 64-year-olds have any higher education so the increase in girls’ higher level education in Turkey remains hopeful. Fifteen percent of girls under the age of 18 in Turkey enter into . Child marriage can be driven , gender norms, poor birth registrations, displacement and violence. | HUMAN |
In other words the cosmological constant coincides with that part of the vacuum energy, which comes from the degrees of freedom responsible for the emergence of the effective lowenergy space-time and thus for the effective gravity. 5 Another example is provided by the q-theory – the phenomenological theory of the quantum vacuum [11, 12, 13]. In this theory the quantity q is the Lorentz invariant variable, which describes the vacuum. At first glance, the connection between the cosmological constant Λ and vacuum energy is lost in the q theory: the cosmological constant is not equal to the vacuum energy ǫ(q) of the field q. But it coincides with the analog of the grand canonical energy of the field, Λ = ρvac(q) = ǫ(q) −qdǫ/dq: from thermodynamic analysis and from the dynamic equations of the q-theory it follows that it is this energy which is gravitating, rather than ǫ(q). The cosmology in the q-theory is the process of the relaxation of the Universe towards the equilibrium vacuum state. | HUMAN |
Sometimes on here, I feel as though I have been too enthusiastic but I believe in total honesty with good recordings, the sosos, and the trash. This is a nice record with respect to music, performance and engineering. Jose Serebrier draws alert, expressive playing out of the Adelaide Symphony in this 1982 digital recording featuring perennially favorite pieces of mine with a couple of unfamiliars. Included are the Bizet Carmen Suite, for which I have developed a fondness in recent years and accumulated many recordings; Offenbach's Can-Can and Barcarolle; and Gounod's perpetually sublime and elegant Faust Ballet Suitealong with two beauties I had never before heard -the Prelude to Massenet's La Vierge and Dance of the Priestesses from Saint-Saens's Samson and Delilah. | HUMAN |
Term limits, whether capping lifetime service or consecutive terms, have gained popularity in many states, though some have been overturned as unconstitutional. Supporters argue that term limits boost voter participation, encourage more women and minorities to run for office, and bring diversity and new perspectives to the legislature. Critics, however, cite research indicating that diversity has not increased in states with term limits and that younger, less experienced legislators often rely more heavily on lobbyists for information on proposed bills. Additionally, voters dissatisfied with losing their preferred candidates may be less likely to participate in elections. | AI |
His joy when he received the news of the catastrophe of the Beresina, in the spring of 1813, may consequently be imagined. The capture of Paris and the fall of Napoleon almost drove him wild with joy, and he ventured on behaviour of the most insulting nature, both to his wife and his sister. At last, after fourteen years of waiting, he tasted the inexpressible delight of seeing the Austrian troops re-enter Milan. The general in command, obeying orders sent from Vienna, received the Marchese del Dongo with a courtesy which almost amounted to respect. One of the highest offices connected with the Government was at once offered him, and he accepted it as the discharge of a just debt. | HUMAN |
Dex also keeps showing up at the same place and finding this bodyguard, which is rather coincidental. In the latter part of the film,a man is shot by a window, and from the outside you see him jump out of it--that was pretty bad direction. But aside from some of these obvious flaws, I think it still holds OK. I certainly didn't predict the ending, so that was good--there is a twist, and although some posters here think they were misled, I thought it was a fine and believable ending. Dennis Quaid, with his weird smirks and black eyes, is more likable in The Right Stuff, Great Balls of Fire, Inner Space, and Cold Creek Manor. | HUMAN |
In a different scenario, consider an interference channel where one receiver can send feedback to both transmitters, while the other receiver does not provide any feedback. This setup represents a case of single-receiver broadcasting feedback. The traditional model of channel output feedback is inadequate for analyzing how feedback impacts the capacity region of the interference channel. To address this, it is necessary to explore various feedback architectures, which is the primary focus of this study. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the capacity region for all feedback architectures in a two-user linear deterministic model. | AI |
The North American Union, established in 1997, aimed to continue the United States' efforts in developing Arabian oil resources. However, the Arab nations, having already developed their oil fields with assistance from South America, opposed North American involvement. Despite this, the Americans, holding a long-term lease signed in the late 1950s, refused to relinquish their claims, leading to growing tensions. Past conflicts, such as the Suez incident three decades earlier, along with American dominance over lunar and satellite operations, further complicated the situation. | AI |

I agree with all the above reviews. One thing I must add that the new lancing device accompanied this model is not very satisfactory and is simply painful whenever used to get a drop of blood. The depth settings are not clear on the barrel and you must be very careful not to press it too hard against your skin or you will get pain during blood sampling. In all other sense this is accurate and very convenient meter to use. For blood sampling pl use accucheck multiclix or soft clix lancing devices with very little pressure at the time of blood sampling. | HUMAN |
Mozilla engaged in a year-long legal negotiation with Google Analytics (GA) before agreeing to implement it on our websites. GA was required to disclose how and what data they stored, and Mozilla only signed a contract after securing the ability to opt out of Google using the data for mining or sharing with third parties. As a result, our GA premium account includes two checkboxes that allow us to opt out of additional data usage. Because of Mozilla’s efforts, these opt-out options are now available to all GA users worldwide, regardless of whether they have a premium account. When Mozilla makes concessions under pressure, I do not hold it against them more than I do those applying the pressure—or those attempting to further complicate matters during already challenging times. | AI |
Mosses and liverworts are often the first macroscopic organisms to colonize an area, both in a primary succession—where bare land is settled for the first time by living organisms, or in a secondary succession—where soil remains intact after a catastrophic event wipes out many existing species. Their spores are carried by the wind, birds, or insects. Once mosses and liverworts are established, they provide food and shelter for other plant species. In a hostile environment, like the tundra where the soil is frozen, bryophytes grow well because they do not have roots and can dry and rehydrate quickly once water is again available. | HUMAN |
My current job is manageable and provides financial stability as we focus on building the startup.

Shen et al. observed minimal migration of CD34+ adventitial cells to the outer layers of injured arterial walls, challenging findings from other studies (Shen et al., 2016). Determining the precise role of adventitial cells in arterial injury response is further complicated by their bidirectional differentiation potential, as they can develop from mature vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and, conversely, some VSMCs can originate from the adventitia. Beyond direct differentiation, the paracrine effects of adventitial cells are also significant, as they respond to Sonic Hedgehog and PDGF-BB signaling, which can promote VSMC proliferation (Dutzmann et al.). | AI |
My polite host took me to his green-house, and shewed me a fine specimen of that wonder of the second degree of organized existence--an American aloe, about to put forth its blossoms. Its vigorous upright stem was twelve feet high, and its head promised a rich profusion of splendid flowers. It is indeed no fable, that this perennial plant grows about a hundred years (a few more or less,) before it blooms; and, after yielding its seed, the stem withers and dies! I could not avoid being struck with the lesson which this centenarian affords to the Pride of man, when, on asking its owner, how he knew that it was a hundred years old, he informed me that "it had been in his possession the half of his life," that is, the mighty period of five-and-twenty years! " That it had previously been the property of the Hon. | HUMAN |

In this setup, the primary user on a specific device can establish and manage secondary profiles linked to the account. | AI |
We have nothing in the Northeastern states that compares in importance with the pitch pine of Southern forests, but we have pitch pines which everybody knows. The first is the gnarled and picturesque pitch pine that grows on worthless land, and thrives in patches along the sea coast, where other evergreens are unsuccessful. The rough, rigid branches which spring from the short trunks of these trees carry a burden of blackening cones which give them a very untidy look when the trees are small. When they reach fifty or seventy-five feet in height, a certain nobility and picturesqueness of expression challenge our admiration, and the clusters of cones are not at all objectionable; indeed they heighten the tree’s beauty. | HUMAN |
Although it is not completely known what causes ADD, it is believed to be related to the fact that those with ADD and ADHD tend to have different (lower) levels of certain neurotransmitters in their brain than those who show no symptoms of these disorders. The decreased levels of Serotonin, Dopamine, and Acetylcholine are often treated with Amphetamines, which encourage greater production of such neurotransmitters in the brain. The other neurotransmitter treated with Amphetamines is [Norepinephrine]( which doubles as a hormone that has the same affect as Adrenaline, in fact, Norepinephrine and Adrenaline are interchangeable. | HUMAN |
One out of every five children rely on food stamps to stay fed, according to numbers released by the Census Bureau on Wednesday. The agency released statistics on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as food stamps, showing 16million children relied on SNAP in 2014, the most since 2008. The program saw a sharp increase in registration at the outset of the recession—the 2007 Census found 7million children on the program—and has hovered at higher levels ever since. Food assistance: The Census Bureau released statistics Wednesday showing that one in five children relied on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, commonly known as food stamps, in 2014.

Real Madrid is nearing the signing of German midfielder Toni Kroos, adding to an already formidable squad that includes Falcao. When Barcelona and Real Madrid face off in the upcoming season, the depth of talent on both benches alone could form a team capable of competing for the league title.

However, with Suárez serving a four-month ban, the first Clásico may not take place until late October. | AI |
The Armitron is not loud enough for me either, though the loudest of the 3; sometimes I hear it; sometimes I don't notice.

If you are young, have excellent hearing, & want an auditory beep watch, you might do well to try the $20 Armitron first, which has an hourly chime.

The Treaty of Poznań (or Treaty of Posen) was signed on 11 December 1806 in Poznań and ended the war between the French Empire and the Electorate of Saxony. The latter was an ally of Prussia as a member of the Fourth Coalition against France. It was defeated in the battles of Jena and Auerstedt and partially occupied by French troops. The peace treaty was negotiated, for the French, by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand. According to its terms, the electorate became the Kingdom of Saxony and annexed certain territories (including Cottbus) taken from Prussia. | HUMAN |
Lee first appeared in the 2012 episodic video game The Walking Dead as the playable character. He is voiced by Dave Fennoy, and was written by multiple people, including Gary Whitta in the fourth episode. Fennoy received an audition in an email, and after completing it, he received a call confirming that he got the role. The audition asked for actors to portray him in a "very real" fashion, which is a part of Lee's design that attracted Fennoy. He called Lee "complicated", due to his criminal history, his concern for keeping Clementine safe, and the fact that he associates with people that he may not have had it not been for the zombie outbreak. | HUMAN |
The first thing on my list with which I must deal is the recent meeting of the Amateur Swimming Association, at which the vexed question of a regulation dress for the women members was discussed; and there is a good chance that it will be wisely and properly decided, so that there will be a regular uniform dress in future, and all misunderstanding will be avoided. The material to which the lady delegates appear to have given in their adhesion, is stockingette; which they consider superior in every way to serge, flannel, silk, or merino. A model costume made of it, shown by the Birmingham Ladies Club, was so much approved of by the large assembly of ladies present, that it was adopted as a guide, the fullest liberty as to trimmings being given, while only three colours were allowed, viz., navy blue, red, and black. The Birmingham costume had flat facings of Turkey-red twill, but of course it is open to any club to select their own colours. | HUMAN |
Future research should address the lack of standardized methods for detecting and quantifying T. gondii oocysts, which currently limits the development of effective surveillance programs for monitoring their presence in water, soil, and food. The absence of consistent protocols for oocyst purification, nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and sequence analysis also complicates comparisons between studies. Establishing consensus among laboratories and regulatory agencies on optimized detection methods would improve surveillance efforts. Early and accurate identification of T. gondii in water and food is crucial for reducing toxoplasmosis outbreaks in endemic areas. Additionally, advancements in methods to assess oocyst viability should be prioritized and more widely implemented in studies on environmental T. gondii prevalence. | AI |
Obviously universities are going to compete to find these specialists and will pay them well. The only problem here is that when people think of Stanford as a great research institution (which it is), they just assume that is must be a great teaching college, which it isn't.

Listen, many good researchers can't even speak english at anything approaching a college level. At Stanford. | HUMAN |
DR. ALLPORT: The constitutionality of the provisions we have discussed depends on two key factors. First, it hinges on whether we adopt the perspective suggested by Mr. Mercer, which asserts that the state’s police power allows regulation of this matter, thereby classifying these employments as inherently dangerous. Alternatively, we could include language in the law that might appear ambiguous or problematic. Specifically, I am referring to the provisions in Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Wisconsin tentative bill, which address the waiver of issues such as assumed risk, contributory negligence, and fellow-servant rules. The second bill proposes the following: "The provisions of this act shall apply to any person, firm, or corporation conducting business in this State that has chosen to accept and operate under these provisions." | AI |
I actually saw this movie as a child of about 10, and I loved how absolutely scary it was. I must say, that I wouldn't recommend that very young viewers are allowed to see it, as it could terrify and leave lasting fears in them. This is a very dark, very desperate movie, not to be missed. The acting is extremely accomplished, especially considering the ages of most of the cast. Lighting is used extremely effectively, making the viewer wonder what is coming next, or perhaps what might be being missed that might be essential. | HUMAN |

The Australian House of Representatives has operated under a two-party system since the merger of the two non-Labor parties in 1909. The 1910 election marked the first instance of a majority government, with the Australian Labor Party also securing the first Senate majority. Before 1909, the chamber functioned under a three-party system. The two-party-preferred vote (2PP) has been calculated since 1919, following the shift from first-past-the-post to preferential voting and the establishment of the Coalition. ALP refers to the Australian Labor Party, L+NP represents the grouping of Liberal, National, LNP, and CLP Coalition parties (and their predecessors), and Oth denotes other parties and independents. | AI |
Feedback control is employed in a wide variety of situations in everyday life, from simple home thermostats that maintain a specified temperature, to complex devices that maintain the position of communication satellites. Feedback control also occurs in natural situations, such as the regulation of blood-sugar levels in the body. Feedback control was even used more than 2,000 years ago by the Greeks, who manufactured such systems as the float valve which regulated water level. Today, this same idea is used to control water levels in boilers and reservoirs. | HUMAN |
Universities naturally compete to attract top specialists and are willing to offer high compensation. However, there is a common misconception that institutions like Stanford, which are renowned for their research, must also excel in teaching. This is not necessarily the case. While Stanford is a leading research institution, its teaching quality is often average at best. The assumption that skilled researchers are inherently good teachers is flawed. In fact, many accomplished researchers struggle to communicate effectively, even at a basic academic level, which is evident even at prestigious institutions like Stanford. | AI |
Enron is exploring the possibility of becoming involved in a research endeavor called the New Economy Value Research Lab. The Lab is the result of a joint effort between MIT's Sloan School of Management and Arthur Andersen (AA). Its purpose is to develop "quantitative valuations of the intangible assets Wall Street finds increasingly important in the New Economy" (Business Week, 2/7/00). Clearly, as Enron continues to shift from a hard asset to intangible asset based organization, the question of "how to" accurately and appropriate measure and value our intangible assets is becoming increasingly important. | HUMAN |
The fact of the matter is that the Commission proposes that the critical threshold of acidification, which was exceeded in 1990, the year of reference, be halved by 2010, but I think that this plan could be tightened up slightly. I agree with Mrs Hulthén that this target must be brought forward to 2004 and that by 2015 the critical thresholds may no longer be reached anywhere in the countryside. Furthermore, agricultural subsidies must be coupled to stronger requirements on ammonia discharge. That is what we call integrating the environment into agriculture. | HUMAN |
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the matter we are discussing today relates to an absolutely fundamental question: do we in the European Parliament want to ensure that we have a social Europe with fair competition and decent working conditions? Or will we allow the market and the laws of chance to reign in a transport industry that is coming more and more under pressure? For us in the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs here in Parliament, there is no doubt at all. We want self-employed drivers to be included in the Working Time Directive. Thus, we reject the Commission's proposal to exclude self-employed drivers, for the following three reasons. | HUMAN |
We note that solving Θ2 = 0 of (12) is not the same as finding a solution to the secondclass constraints in known field-theoretical examples, e.g. first-order formulation of the Maxwell, Yang-Mills theory, and affine-metric formulation of GR, where such equations are algebraic with respect to the eliminated fields, and the reduction can be performed either at the Lagrangian or Hamiltonian levels, with the same outcome (e.g. see [10]). This important difference was not commented on or even noticed in [1, 2], and an assumption was made that the solution to (12) can be found. The appearance of differential secondclass constraints3 is a common feature of Hamiltonian formulations of Hoˇrava-type models, but to the best of our knowledge, this fact was mentioned only in a paper by Pons and Talavera [7] (see footnote 3), without elaboration on the effect or possible consequences of solving such second-class constraints in the Hamiltonian reduction; it is merely mentioned, that unlike mechanics, where the multipliers are “undoubtedly determined”, this is “not the 2 In [1] a different notation is used for our H⊥(i.e. HT ), which is somewhat confusing since the standard use of subscript, T , is for the total Hamiltonian. | HUMAN |

The attached plate of autographs, copied from Mr. Chalmers's *Apology* and displaying accurate facsimiles of the signatures, clearly shows that the claim made by the anonymous correspondent—that the last signature, like the others, was written as "Shakspere"—cannot be correct. The surname in the first document appears as "Shackspere," while in the second, it is written as "Shakspe re." The gap in the second signature is unexplained in Mr. Malone's facsimile, but Mr. Chalmers's plate reveals it was caused by the intrusion of the word "the" from the preceding line, which likely prevented the inclusion of the disputed letter. Additionally, it seems evident that more than just an extra stroke exists between the "e" and "r" in the final signature, and the variation is too significant to be attributed to any supposed hand tremor. | AI |
Directional solidification (DS) represents a distinct approach to controlling ice crystal formation, differing from the processes of NS and PS. In DS, the sample is moved through a stable, low-temperature gradient, ensuring ice nucleation occurs in the portion in contact with the cold plate. This method maintains consistent local chemical conditions in the residual solution, unlike PS, where solutes and cells are progressively excluded ahead of the ice front. DS has been used to study how varying ice crystal morphologies, such as complex dendrite formations, affect cell survival, though no significant impact has been observed [10]. Additionally, DS has shown differential entrapment or exclusion of cells at the advancing ice front [11], but its effects on larger cell complexes, such as ELS, remain unexplored to our knowledge. | AI |
For instance, if we purchased a home for $80,000, we would split the 20% down payment and closing costs equally, giving each of us a 50% stake. These homes are owned under the LLC's name, and tenants pay rent directly to the LLC. However, I am not a member of the LLC, so I’m unsure how to access approximately 1-2 years of rental income that hasn’t been distributed. I’m not overly concerned about the delay in payment, as I understand the first year of owning the properties likely resulted in a loss due to upgrades and repairs. However, once the properties become profitable, I would like to receive monthly or quarterly distributions, especially now that I’ve moved out and have my own mortgage and expenses to manage. | AI |
I've always been a believer in correct battery "training." If your unit (phone, laptop or in this case, shaver) spends every night on the cradle or sucking juice from your home or apartment, odds are that battery will suffer. This suffering will take down its operating ability and cause the charge to last less each time you use it. I've trained my battery correctly from the start (turn it on and leave it to expend itself when I opened the box and then give it the first good, solid nights charge). I enjoy the trimmer, love that I can walk around my room and clean my beard without spilling shards of dead cells everywhere. | HUMAN |
Would it be possible to add a feature such that instead of just giving a whole month's worth of Reddit gold one can have the option to give Reddit gold in appreciation of a comment in smaller increments of 1 week? Thus people would have 2 options, give Reddit gold in increments of 1 months or 1 week. Doing so could maximize revenues. If I remember correctly, in South Korea they have a very thriving micro-payment online community. Micro-payments would make it a lot easier for people to give gold in small amounts because it would be more affordable. | HUMAN |

Sheila Walton, an HR representative, discussed the process with me, focusing more on my options for leaving the company rather than exploring opportunities for redeployment within the organization. She did not emphasize the benefits of redeployment or share any success stories related to it. Without clear guidance from Sheila, I reached out to Joyce Barrett in the redeployment group for advice. I had previously met Joyce at an informational luncheon for EBS assistants at the DoubleTree, where she explained how redeployment works and its successes. Due to a lack of communication with the redeployment department, I had no updates about my status after a week.
