We must consider, together, how to accurately assess the value of things. A single moment of discomfort may seem insignificant, but when repeated over time, it can accumulate into a significant amount of suffering. Similarly, we should reflect on happiness, knowledge, and friendship. The exact moment when friendship begins is difficult to pinpoint. Just as a vessel fills drop by drop until it overflows, a series of kind acts eventually leads to a point where the heart overflows with emotion. | AI |
In the IARC India HPV vaccine trial, HPV16/18 antibody avidity was comparable across the dosage groups at 18 months post vaccination, but neutralising antibody levels were lower in reduced dose schedules. In the small randomised study by Scherer et al. , four of the five HPV16-seropositive women receiving one dose of HPV vaccine exhibited increases in HPV16 and 18 binding antibody levels and neutralisation against HPV16 by one month following vaccination, and responses remained increased compared to baseline at month 6. Two women had increases in HPV16 and 18 binding antibody levels at one week post vaccination. Conversely, non-neutralising antibodies were observed in women with natural HPV infection, and no changes in antibody responses were seen among the five infected women who did not receive any HPV vaccine dose. | HUMAN |
If the method described for preparing claret wine for shipment, as practiced in Bordeaux and its surrounding areas, is ever applied to the red wines of this country—particularly those from Kaskaskias—it may be useful to outline the process of racking these wines. This method is straightforward, efficient, and effective, especially for the lower or ground tiers of barrels. The upper tiers, being more elevated, naturally rack themselves without requiring any intervention. To rack a hogshead of wine from the ground tier, place an empty hogshead next to the full one. Insert a brass racking cock into the full hogshead and attach a leather hose, typically three to four feet long, to the cock’s nozzle. The other end of the hose is fitted with a brass pipe, sized to match the tap hole, and features a projecting shoulder to secure it into the empty hogshead. Once the pipe is inserted, move the empty hogshead away from the full one to stretch the hose, establishing a connection between the two barrels. | AI |
Susan Moberg, an expert soil scientist, was the next witness to testify. Her testimony focused on whether the proposed plan aligned with the CRMC guidelines. Moberg referenced a section of the proposed CRMC regulation, which stated that rising sea levels would alter surface and groundwater characteristics, leading to saltwater intrusion into aquifers and contamination of drinking water supplies, as well as higher water tables that could compromise wastewater treatment systems in coastal areas. Moberg noted that the property in question currently sits between 7 and 9.5 feet above sea level. | AI |
The negotiated rates for this expansion are $0.24 for Athens and $0.27 for Hartwell. It is important to note that the demand charges must be paid year-round for the maximum required capacity, regardless of actual usage. These rates do not include fuel costs. If transport from Onshore Louisiana to these delivery points is added, an additional $0.05 per unit should be factored into the prices. Transco has indicated that if we do not proceed with this project, there are other parties ready to purchase capacity on this expansion, and they are already planning a subsequent expansion following this one. | AI |
We note that what constitutes near and far transfer has not yet been objectively defined, and varies from study to study, so prediction of the amount of transfer that should be observed for a given outcome is difficult. In the present study, the most parsimonious explanation for performance improvements on untrained tasks in older adults is that of overlap in task demands, because training was multimodal. This is an important limitation. However, improvement in untrained tasks rather than broad abilities in older adults may have important implications for public health. The ACTIVE trial showed that training of reasoning and of speed was associated with reductions in risk of dependency 10 years after the study was initiated (Rebok et al., [ | HUMAN |
Cholinesterase inhibitors are prescribed to treat early to moderate symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease related to memory, thinking, language, judgment, and other thought processes. Cholinesterase inhibitors prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is vital for learning and memory. It supports communication among nerve cells by keeping acetylcholine high and delays or slows the worsening of symptoms. Effectiveness varies from person to person, and the medications are generally well-tolerated. If side effects occur, they commonly include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and increased frequency of bowel movements. | HUMAN |
This film is decent but lacks emotional or narrative depth. Based on real events, the story offers little action or suspense, which limits its engagement. Denzel Washington delivers a believable performance, though his role feels underdeveloped, leaving little room for him or the supporting cast to showcase their abilities. The narrative falls flat, with an ending that feels predictable even for those unfamiliar with the title character. Unlike other films addressing similar injustices, this one fails to evoke a strong emotional connection, making it hard to care about the protagonist or the motivations of those aiding him, which come across as more intellectual than heartfelt. An attempt to add emotional weight through a boy who idolizes Carter feels contrived and out of place. | AI |
Tsarnaev's lawyers say pretrial coverage of the case has increased since they made their first request to move trial, in part because of coverage of the convictions of three of Tsarnaev's friends who were accused of removing evidence from his dorm room or lying to authorities investigating the bombing. Motions to move trials are rarely granted. But Tsarnaev's lawyers said the pretrial media coverage in the marathon bombing case is similar to the coverage in the case of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, whose trial was moved to Denver. ' Here, as in McVeigh, the strong emotional and community response evidenced in the pretrial publicity demonstrates that potential jurors from the Eastern Division of the District of Massachusetts can only be presumed to feel a personal stake in the outcome. As in McVeigh, a change of venue is required to provide Mr. Tsarnaev with a fair trial by an impartial jury,' Tsarnaev's lawyers wrote. | HUMAN |
Another Fukasaku film that echoes Suzuki’s style, similar to *Blackmail Is My Life*, centers on the younger generation. It follows four young men who struggle to avoid trouble and eventually decide to pool their money to buy a dump truck and start their own business. The narrative unfolds in a non-linear structure, recounting how they acquired the truck and why two of them eventually left the venture. | AI |
We were conducted immediately to the merchant’s yard, where we were all pent up together like so many sheep in a fold, without regard to sex or age. As every object was new to me, every thing I saw filled me with surprise. What struck me first was, that the houses were built with bricks, in stories, and in every other respect different from those I have seen in Africa: but I was still more astonished on seeing people on horseback. I did not know what this could mean; and indeed I thought these people were full of nothing but magical | HUMAN |
The episode was well-received by critics. Matt Richethal of TV Fanatic rated it 4.8/5, noting that it addressed criticisms of season one's focus on Jeff's love life and the cliffhanger finale by humorously exaggerating and mocking those elements. Kelsea Stahler appreciated the episode for opting for comedic depth over melodrama, expressing relief at the show's return. Alan Sepinwall of HitFix praised the strong start to season two, highlighting how it effectively used unresolved plotlines from the finale, such as the Jeff/Annie kiss, the Britta/Jeff/Slater love triangle, and Pierce and Troy's living situation. Emily VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club found the episode somewhat busy but still described it as highly entertaining and reflective of the show's overall humor. | AI |
After a long duel in Alonne's meditation room lit up by the setting sun. The Old Iron King's developed skills and power prove to be too much for Sir Alonne. Sir Alonne becomes wounded by the fight but not fatally. Alonne uses his defeat in the duel to further prove that the Old Iron King no longer needs him and his days as a warrior are now past him. Reluctantly the Old Iron King decides he cannot change his friend's mind and lets Alonne recover in the keep. | HUMAN |
Conduct an experimental measurement of how niceness affects the processor time allocated to compute-bound threads across various UNIX-like uniprocessor systems. Focus on comparing systems with a proportional-share scheduler, like Linux, against those using a decay usage scheduler, such as Mac OS X or older UNIX versions. Ensure the system is idle during testing to avoid interference. Develop a basic test program that performs a loop, then execute one instance at default niceness (0) and another at an elevated niceness level using the nice command. | AI |
This time another DEV was just trying to compile his kernel with another tool chain and he decided to share it with everyone, he didn't want fame like eng said, he gave the proper credits he said what he had done and who did the rest. even tho eng went and made a soup opera out of it, and then came up with a speech saying he was leaving again so that people would come and praise the almighty God of kernels and beg him to stay and not leave them alone. Franco for example had his work also forked, and he didn't cry like a little bitch about it did he? Most of other kernel devs get their work forked, people are also using Uber tool chain and you don't see him bitching like a 12 year old about it. He probably is proud of it because people think his work is worth using and that's how mature people should react. | HUMAN |
Noise traders and manipulators are closely related, as manipulators trade with the intent to distort prices rather than based on information about asset value, making them a subset of noise traders. Introducing manipulators into speculative markets does not necessarily reduce the average accuracy of prices. This conclusion has been supported by theoretical models, laboratory experiments, and field studies. However, upon reviewing the field study citations, their findings appear less convincing. For example, one study involved placing large bets on horse races to observe their impact on odds, only to cancel those bets before the race concluded. | AI |
The first postulate assumes that, fundamentally, the energy and matter of the Universe exist in a state far from equilibrium, characterized by continuous evolution and flow. This energy and matter spontaneously self-organize across multiple spatial and temporal scales into metastable, interconverting patterns of flow and circulation. These patterns manifest at various levels of organizational hierarchy, from elementary particles and atoms to molecules, cells, organisms, ecosystems (including human organizations and economies), planetary and stellar systems, galaxies, and beyond. Each scale-specific manifestation of flowing energy and matter is interconnected, forming a nested set of self-organizing and interdependent structures and processes that co-evolve together. | AI |
This film may initially appear to be a straightforward imitation of *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre*, but it incorporates some genuinely unsettling and inventive elements that set it apart from being a mere copy. While it’s not uncommon for filmmakers to borrow ideas and attempt to refine them into something new, the creative additions here feel fresh and original. Whether it’s worth your time ultimately depends on your preferences within the horror genre, particularly if you enjoy slasher or serial killer themes. That decision, however, is best left to your own judgment. | AI |
Sixty years later, Mary Shadd emerged from Delaware. She was tall and slender, with the striking beauty often associated with mixed heritage. Well-educated and energetic, her sharp eyes reflected a strong sense of purpose. She joined the mass migration of Black individuals seeking refuge in Canada, dedicating herself to the cause. She worked as a teacher, editor, and speaker, traveling through winter snows and navigating crowded events with determination. Eventually, she took on the role of recruiting agent for the U.S. government, helping to enlist Black soldiers in the West. | AI |
Folic acid (FA) is essential for cell development, the metabolism of certain biochemical reactions, and the processing of specific anticonvulsant drugs [17–19]. Since uric acid (UA) and FA coexist in human body fluids, their simultaneous determination is crucial. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which include multi-wall and single-wall variants, are a novel form of elementary carbon. They consist of graphitic sheets rolled into closed concentric cylinders with nanometer-scale diameters and micrometer-scale lengths. This unique tubular structure grants CNTs distinctive properties, such as excellent electrical conductivity, high chemical stability, and exceptional mechanical strength [20]. | AI |
The reasons behind plants' selective use of certain spectral components remain unclear, raising questions about whether this preference stems from physical constraints of the photosynthetic apparatus or is an evolutionary coincidence (for a review, see, e.g., \\[[@B111-life-10-00025]\\]). A notable example of ongoing research in this area is the role of green light in photosynthesis, which has historically been overlooked. Recent findings on how different spectral components influence various aspects of plant life not only advance our understanding of plant physiology and evolution but also have practical implications for optimizing crop cultivation under artificial lighting, a growing necessity for sustainable development. | AI |
The young males and females displayed were attractive in a slightly superficial manner,but all hopes of anything else you would want from a good TV programme (i.e. character-filled or funny personalities,great entertainment,interesting incident,etc.) was doomed from the nano-second it began. And any hopes of seeing any dirty deeds between the contestants produced instant disappointment;maybe everyone involved knew their lucrative pay cheques would've bounced like a ping-pong ball if they had indulged in the most basic of human behaviour. If such happenings had taken place and been seen by the viewing public,some people may have at least had a sense of personal gratification;as it was,even in heavily edited form,we witnessed a mind-numbingly dreary waste of air space,with individuals who were mostly so self-absorbed,vacuous or brutally annoying that frustrated viewers like myself wished the title had been changed to C________ DROWNING,where you could phone in to nominate every day which seedy,resistible member of this motley crew could be thrown in the nearby Ocean and just left to flounder,thereby ensuring we would hopefully never have to watch people like this in shows like this again. | HUMAN |
The calculation described above is inefficient, as it requires evaluating likelihoods across a broad range of parameter values that are distant from the optimal solution. A more effective approach involves leveraging optimization algorithms, a well-established area of mathematical analysis (Nocedal and Wright). While these algorithms vary in their specifics, their general operation can be illustrated with a simple example. Suppose you are near Mt. St. Helens and need to locate its peak. Visibility is limited due to fog, but you can observe the immediate surroundings. | AI |
The study found no significant difference between pre- and post-operative radiological measurements of cross-sectional area and angle of INV, nor was there a correlation between these CT-scan measurements and NOSE scores. Patient perception of nasal obstruction and surgical outcomes can be influenced by various physiological and psychological factors, such as expectations from surgery, surgical techniques, and the condition of vascular and nerve supplies. Additionally, the presence of sinusitis or nasal/sinus masses alongside nasal obstruction is statistically associated with higher dissatisfaction rates post-surgery, which may skew the perceived effectiveness of the measurement methods used. | AI |
When a woman is driving with a friend who is unfamiliar with the person she is visiting, she should not bring her into the house during the call unless the friend is a young lady, there is a specific reason for introducing them, or both parties have expressed a desire to meet. Husbands and wives sometimes make calls together, but it is more common for them to do so separately. Typically, a lady makes calls alone, unless she has a grown daughter, in which case the daughter should accompany her mother. | AI |
He represents the future of our defense, and losing him would significantly impact our long-term potential, as he is expected to play a key role in carrying the defensive unit. With his current skills and potential for growth, he is projected to become a top-pair defenseman for most teams. At his young age, there are still 5 to 6 years for him to develop further, particularly in the offensive zone, meaning his best performances are likely still ahead. Learning from a player like Suter and observing how he contributes offensively could also help him improve and refine his game. | AI |
Mark Hoppe from the PX writes, "As others have mentioned, it’s impressive how you consistently produce such a volume of material each week. The burrito is both informative and humorous, often with a touch of irony or tragedy (ISO Drama). While you maintain a neutral stance toward the PX, you avoid unnecessary negativity, which I appreciate. I believe we’ve done a solid job here, though many in the industry tend to overlook the significant effort and challenges the PX faced in successfully opening this market." | AI |
I cannot understand or support the position of the Polish government, which seeks an exemption from the obligations outlined in Chapter IV of the Charter, titled Solidarity, particularly as it pertains to Polish citizens. This chapter includes provisions highly valued by the Polish and European left, focusing on employee and union rights. A responsible government should prioritize strengthening and effectively safeguarding workers' rights, especially in a country like Poland, where freedom was achieved through the workers' uprising led by Solidarność. I urge the Polish government to reconsider its stance on this issue. | AI |
The faith in a Jesus had been for a long time in existence among innumerable Mandaic sects in Asia Minor, which differed in many ways from each other, before this faith obtained a definite shape in the religion of Jesus, and its adherents became conscious of their religious peculiarities and their divergence from the official Jewish religion. The first evidence of such a consciousness, and also the first brilliant outline of a new religion developed with Jesus as its central idea, lies in the epistles of the tent-maker of Tarsus, the pilgrim-apostle Paul. | HUMAN |
I do think the show is toying with him being envious of Aegon and trying to perhaps explore a betrayal scenario, but given that Aemond as a character is pretty well established to be nasty that seems too obvious. I’d hope there’d be at least a little bit of subtlety. You can be resentful or envious of someone for their place and not necessarily try to take that place off them (see Stannis with Robert, who definitely had a poor relationship with his elder brother but would never and did never do anything to usurp or betray Robert. Indeed he spent a decade and a half helping his brother run the kingdom and protect his position, whatever his feelings on the man personally). It could kind of flesh Aemond out if he has these resentments and jealousies but still pushes past them and fight for his brother’s cause anyway. | HUMAN |
Encouraging girls to pursue STEM careers offers significant long-term benefits, but it requires sustained effort. Peer pressure in schools often reinforces gender stereotypes, pushing boys and girls toward different paths, which can be challenging to counteract. Parents can play a key role by introducing their daughters to tools like microscopes, telescopes, or computers and engaging with them to explore how the world works. It’s important to avoid overly gendered or "girl-friendly" approaches, as these can come across as patronizing rather than empowering. | AI |
For the first three to four months, I worked as a wine waiter through an agency, which meant no fixed location or hours. Similar to gigs like Uber, I had to provide my own equipment, such as uniforms and bottle openers. I worked at some of London’s most prestigious venues, including the Shard, Café Royal, and the Four Seasons, often serving at events attended by high-profile guests like Victoria Beckham and Prince Harry. I also had the opportunity to work at the BAFTA after-party during the jubilee and served as the wine waiter for the team behind the award-winning Amy Winehouse documentary. | AI |
After Erhardt’s new chin was revealed, Jackson went on to have this operation several times. Despite his initial nerves, Michael also had Botox, fillers, bleached his skin, had cheek implants and lip augmentation. He changed the shape of his nose to the point that it was so narrow the airways were blocked. Body dysmorphic disorder expert Dr Eda Gorbis — who believes Jackson was suffering from the illness, where sufferers have a distorted view of their appearance — has claimed he had as many as 100 procedures. Eventually his original features were almost completely obliterated, as was his ethnicity. | HUMAN |

L., p. 387, states: “Under the principle that a person is charged with notice of what they could have known through ordinary care, it is established that if either party in a case involving negligence and contributory negligence could have discovered the other party’s negligence through ordinary care after it occurred, and in time to foresee and avoid its consequences, then that party is deemed to have notice. In such cases, their failure to discover the other party’s negligence is considered the sole proximate cause of any subsequent injury.” | AI |
In the early 2000s, the provincial government announced funding for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, which opened in 2005. This school, a joint initiative of Laurentian and Lakehead universities, focuses on rural medicine research. In 2011, Laurentian University received a charter to establish the McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury, while Lakehead University was approved to launch the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law in Thunder Bay. Like the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, these institutions were the first of their kind in the region and the first new schools of their type in Ontario since the 1960s. | AI |
Linda Shearsmith, 53, avoided jail after attacking her partner at their holiday home in Whitby, North Yorkshire. The court heard that Shearsmith became enraged when her boyfriend wet himself during the night, leading her to threaten him with a knife and strike him with a bedpan. She also damaged property, including pictures, while shouting, "you trashed mine, (so) I'll trash yours." Shearsmith admitted to assault and criminal damage following the incident on November 3. Her partner later expressed that he did not want the case to proceed to court. | AI |
This coup stands out for its unusual actions, such as focusing on seizing a bridge rather than detaining the nation’s highest leaders. Rebels operated fighter jets but chose not to target the President’s plane when given the opportunity, instead directing their fire at civilians on the streets or an unoccupied Parliament building. These decisions raise questions about the intent and strategy behind the operation, especially in a country with a history of executing coups with precision and effectiveness. The apparent lack of coordination and purpose makes this event one of the most perplexing and poorly executed coups in recorded history. | AI |
Firstly, the Dalai Lama himself is requesting this, and secondly, and it is important for the colleagues to realize this, the United States have a special envoy for Tibet., He could make a contribution to the normalization of relations, amongst other things, and the Dalai Lama has indicated that he is greatly in favour of this normalization of relations. We also know that, should an envoy be active in the country, many embargoed dossiers will finally be released. You therefore get an instrument for a permanent presence. | HUMAN |
Mark Coticchia, a senior director at RedLeaf overseeing the technology transfer program, stated that Oak Leaf anticipates finalizing two new deals by the end of July. RedLeaf has also collaborated with the University of Pennsylvania to establish another accelerator program called PennNetworks. Recently, RedLeaf announced its financial backing for the launch of 61C Networks, a network optimization company founded by a Carnegie Mellon graduate student.

While gossip may be more entertaining, the reality is that it often lacks truth. Since then, Kim has attended major fashion week shows from the front row, often accompanied by her daughter North. She also joined Olivier Rousteing's Balmain campaign and later modeled for him. In April 2014, Kim and Kanye appeared on the cover of *Vogue*, earning the endorsement of editor Anna Wintour. Today, Kim maintains friendships with designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Valentino, and she is frequently seen socializing with supermodels like Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne. | AI |
Answers to fundamental questions about conservation of fish may involve rethinking and adopting ethical principles in governance and giving people a bigger role in conservation. Thinking about fish as sophisticated and sentient creatures may change our perspective about how fishing should be conducted. Ethical issues such as social justice, corporate responsibility, and power sharing in democratic decision making should be central to fish conservation. From the case studies provided in later chapters, we learn that the keys to successful conservation of fish include persistence, passionate leadership, partnerships, trust, and optimism. I propose the following working principle that serves as an overarching guide: passionate and persistent people who understand the fish and the place will find a way to create partnerships to conserve valued fish in perpetuity. | HUMAN |
The UV fluence and various factors such as the petri factor, water factor, divergence factor, reflection factor, and collimation factor have been estimated and calculated in previous studies (Kheyrandish et al., 2018). While UV lamp technology is well-established, there is growing interest in UV-LED technology due to its potential advantages over traditional UV lamp systems. However, the competitiveness of UV-LEDs compared to conventional UV lamps must still be demonstrated, particularly in terms of benefits such as the ability to combine specific wavelengths for potential synergistic effects, energy efficiency, and operational advantages like pulsed versus continuous irradiation. Research into the effectiveness of combining low, intermediate, and higher wavelength UV-LEDs for both direct and indirect DNA damage mechanisms appears promising. | AI |
The research comprises four systematic and interconnected investigations. Section 1 examines the in situ growth of lithium microstructures to understand the evolution of internal short circuits. Section 2 evaluates the performance of commercial separators under deep discharge conditions, providing insights for future separator development. Section 3 explores the evolution of lithium metal and microstructures under various electrochemical cycling conditions, challenging existing assumptions about lithium utilization efficiency. Section 4 identifies the degradation mechanisms in lithium/carbon cells by correlating charge-induced lithium microstructures with findings from Sections 1–3 and prior studies, linking challenges in lithium metal batteries to aging mechanisms in commercial lithium-ion batteries. By integrating these results with earlier research on lithium metal and carbon anodes, a comprehensive understanding of degradation mechanisms in rechargeable lithium batteries is established. | AI |
Through ongoing inflation, governments can covertly seize a significant portion of their citizens' wealth. This process not only allows for arbitrary confiscation but also creates disparities, impoverishing many while enriching others. Such arbitrary redistribution undermines both economic security and trust in the fairness of wealth distribution. Those who benefit unexpectedly from this system, often beyond merit or intention, are labeled as profiteers and become targets of resentment from both the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, who suffer from inflation's effects. As Lenin observed, debasing the currency is a subtle and effective method for destabilizing the foundations of society. | AI |

The jury have found that the defendant did speak words of that substance, in the temper and with the intent stated. This verdict … finds a malicious intention in the speaker to vilify the Christian religion and the scriptures, and this court cannot look beyond the record, nor take any notice of the allegation, that the words were uttered by the defendant, a member of a debating association … in the course of argument on a religious question. That there is an association in which so serious a subject is treated with so much levity, indecency and scurrility, existing in this city, I am sorry to hear, for it would prove a nursery of vice, a school of preparation to qualify young men for the gallows, and young women for the brothel, and there is not a skeptic of decent manners and good morals, who would not consider such debating clubs as a common nuisance and disgrace to the city. | HUMAN |
Data collection involved reviewing national vaccination and information system documents, conducting focus groups with national stakeholders, and performing semi-structured interviews with individuals, alongside site visits to locations where immunization data are recorded and analyzed. Initial stakeholder interviews and a review of documentary evidence informed the development of interview questions, which focused on the structure, evolution, challenges, and lessons learned from the immunization information system. In Peru, twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted, along with two site visits—one to the regional health network in Cusco (Red de Salud Norte) and another to the municipality of Calca in Cusco. These visits included meetings with immunization officials, municipal authorities, statisticians, information system managers, and officials overseeing other health programs, such as nutrition. In Mexico, a focus group session was held with representatives from key national agencies, including the National Immunization Program (NIP), the General Directorate of Health Information (DGIS), and the National Center for Childhood and Adolescent Health (CENSIA). | AI |
The German nobility exists apart from the trajectory of higher civilization, a fact with clear reasons. Christianity and alcohol are identified as the primary forces of corruption. There is no meaningful distinction to be made between Islam and Christianity, just as there is none between an Arab and a Jew. The matter is already settled; no one has the freedom to choose. One is either a Chandala or not. The sentiment of Frederick II, a remarkable free spirit and a genius among German emperors, was clear: "War to the knife with Rome! Peace and friendship with Islam!" This was both his conviction and his action. | AI |
In July 1943, four of the men—Berglind, Herslow, Häggberg, and Widén—were sentenced to death, though all seven eventually returned safely to Sweden. The reasons for the pardon of the four Warsaw Swedes are debated, with multiple factors likely contributing to their release in the autumn of 1944. When King Gustav V of Sweden learned of the death sentences, he wrote directly to Hitler, requesting their freedom. Hitler, who held a particular admiration for royalty, especially from nations he associated with the origins of the "Aryan" race, responded in a letter at the end of July 1943, assuring the king that he would address the matter. | AI |
The knight at the window knew that it was the Queen. He continued to gaze at her attentively and with delight as long as she was visible. And when he could no longer see her, he was minded to throw himself out and break his body down below.

For God’s sake, never think again of committing such a mad deed. | HUMAN |
Without a legal framework applicable across the Union’s 15 Member States and potential future members, individuals pursuing legal action through the courts would not have access to uniform legal remedies, as these would depend on whether their country or the requested country had ratified the Convention. This new regulation ensures that all courts operate under the same legal provisions, guaranteeing equal protection for all EU citizens. Additionally, the Community instrument will streamline direct communication between courts in different countries. | AI |
Prodefen® has already been evaluated in a randomized clinical trial in a group of young children and has been shown to be beneficial in producing a significantly shorter duration of diarrhea and a reduction of the number of watery stools compared with However, as this study was performed in a very specific context (Iranian hospitalized children younger than 2 years of age), a new study was proposed to evaluate the benefits of the synbiotic Prodefen® in our ambulant pediatric population. The aim of this multicenter, prospective randomized and controlled study was to evaluate the additional benefits of the synbiotic Prodefen® when added to the standard treatment based on oral rehydration and/or diet in the clinical management of acute viral diarrhea, in children between 6 months and 12 years of age attending ambulatory outpatient clinics as well as emergency departments. | HUMAN |
Also present in "Le Fantome de la Liberté" is Buñuel's recurrent criticism of several things including the bourgeoisie (as done before in "The Secret Charm of Bourgeoisie"), the Church, police and moral beliefs, making quite clear to the viewers how much he dislikes them. This movie is a perfect example of freedom all around, from the scene where a man shoots people randomly and later is sentenced to life in jail but walks out free of the courthouse, to Buñuel himself who has the freedom of saying whatever he wants, however he wants it and in doing so, has given us a fresh perspective. Buñuel's camera work makes us feel that we are ghosts gliding through each moment of a very realistic dream thus achieving the surrealist's main goal of presenting a symbolic and rational dreamlike universe, making this movie a must see and one of Buñuel's finest works. | HUMAN |

The plot touched a whole range of issues but explored none of them in depth. This was neither a story about growing up during the depression, nor about about being an orphan, nor about a struggle for identity. It tried to be all of those things and more, which made it superficial and unsatisfactory. Although the movie was supposed to be about Little Tree's education, we learn almost nothing about it. He was given a brief summary of the history of his people (who were brave and stoic) and a distillery demonstration; tried his hand at chopping wood (at which he failed) and whiskey running (literally); learned how to read (and maybe to write) with the help of grandma and her dictionary - and that was it. | HUMAN |
The institution has secured exposures, including $400 million in loans backed by Enron pipelines. While this exposure is expected to be significant, it represents a small portion of J.P. Morgan Chase's total assets, which amount to $715 billion. Citigroup did not comment on its exposure to Enron, but sources familiar with the situation indicated that its exposure is comparable to that of J.P. Morgan Chase. Beyond the financial implications, there is concern about the potential impact on energy markets and the broader economy. Enron's difficulties could hinder efforts to end the recession if the company's challenges disrupt its ability to deliver natural gas or electricity to customers. Natural gas prices surged sharply yesterday following the downgrade of Enron's credit rating by three major agencies and Dynegy Inc.'s announcement that it was canceling its acquisition of the company. | AI |
Cells can be broken down and metabolized by macrophages, which are white blood cells or immune system cells. Alternatively, cells can undergo programmed cell death, known as apoptosis, after which they may also be broken down by macrophages. When a cell dies, another cell typically processes its remains. This creates a continuous cycle, as the ink molecules are too large to be broken down further. | AI |
He acknowledged past issues caused by noise and noted the government is aware of concerns from residents near sites shortlisted for future runway development. However, he emphasized that implementing unsuitable measures prematurely could lead to increased uncertainty and other negative consequences. London airports Gatwick and Stansted are also being considered for new runways. Decisions on trials for early morning ‘schedule smoothing’ at Heathrow should be made later, taking into account the commission’s recommendations on long-term capacity. He added that the government is collaborating with the promoters of the shortlisted runway schemes to determine when and what measures might be introduced to address potential blight concerns. | AI |
Some time later, Liam arrived at the 'Dumping Ground' to find Frank. Mo answered the door and informed him that Frank was at the cinema with Johnny. Liam left despite Mo offering to fetch Mike. Later, when Liam stayed temporarily at the 'DG', Mo was involved in a plan to help Faith regain her work placement. His role was to sing "Twelve Tiny Hours," a song written by Liam, alongside Johnny and Rick. However, Mo’s singing was so poor that he ultimately decided not to participate. | AI |
The fire bore the offering to the Gods and was accordingly a mediator between God and men. But the fire also represented something divine. It was a God, and if honour was paid to this God, the fire was at once subject and object of the sacrifice. Out of this arose the first idea, that Agni sacrificed to himself, that is, that he brought his own offering to himself, then, that he brought himself as a victim--out of which the later legends grew." [ 225] The sacrifice of the God is a sacrificing of the God. | HUMAN |
Dex repeatedly encounters the same bodyguard in the same location, which feels overly coincidental. Later in the film, a man is shot near a window, and the scene showing him falling from it as seen from outside is poorly directed. Despite these noticeable flaws, the film still works reasonably well. The ending, which I didn’t predict, includes a twist that I found satisfying and believable, even though some viewers felt misled. As for Dennis Quaid, his performance here, marked by odd smirks and dark expressions, doesn’t match the charm he brought to roles in *The Right Stuff*, *Great Balls of Fire*, *Inner Space*, or *Cold Creek Manor*. | AI |
Any hi-Capa from KJW, or WE. Yes WE gbb pistols are cheap and not overly reliable, but being based of TM (Tokyo Marui) pistols, a lot of the aftermarket parts will work on them, which can be better than any KJW pistol. Bear in mind though, KJW can be upgraded, but not as much, as some of the parts they use have slightly different dimensions to them compared to the TM Hi-Capa, which might prove annoying. KWA pistols are also an option, though they mostly have proprietary parts, and are either hard to find or expensive. Even though KWA is known to have well built guns in general, if they break, have fun getting the part for it. | HUMAN |
His manuscript was most edifying; he wrote a beautiful scholarly hand, full of character, rather like the hand of Lanfranc, who was Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of William the Conqueror. He did very little sight-seeing or bargaining. His time was taken up with receiving Buddhist abbots and the sages who, by extraordinary abstinence and striking concentrations of mind and will, had acquired supernatural powers, just as Hall Caine used to see the leading Mohammedan _ulema_ in Egypt. They had a profound respect for him. I always fancy that Arnold had in his mind some _magnum opus_ on those Eastern superhumans, which he never gave to the world. | HUMAN |
Except with at 500k sprite file (very common) your user waits for UI elements to pop-in that depend on it. So yes it doesn't block, but the UI can look strange. You end up with a bunch of blank spots or incomplete backgrounds while this sucker loads. Also if you dynamically add elements to the page that make requests for uncached sprite images (because you are being smart and don't want a 500k sprite file) you have to wait for those UI elements to load in their images. With data-uris the image data is already there, ready to use. | HUMAN |
We cannot read the story without feeling a measure of sympathy for the young ruler; and we may confess that we ourselves would scarcely have been equal to the severe test. The situation, however, can be estimated in another way--not by our imagination, but by our admiration. Certain men in Christian history have done exactly what Jesus asked this young man to do. John Wesley did it; making much money, he continued to live on his allowance of twenty-eight pounds a year and gave the rest to a needy world. When he was an old man he wrote to the assessor that his taxable property consisted of two silver spoons at Bristol! | HUMAN |
I think this claim is falsely too strong and does not really attack the point and kind of cases it means to. I think if a person really could not have chosen anything besides what he actually chose, then he is not responsible for his choice and the ensuing action. But making a choice “in character” out of cowardice, due to weak will, or due to some of the other rather weak or trivial kinds of causes that lawyers and psychiatrists seem to contend force choices is not always actually to be inescapably forced to make a choice a particular way. The question, I think, should not be whether people are responsible or should be held accountable for choices they could not have made otherwise, but whether in fact the particular choice at issue is one they really could not have made otherwise. I believe if it is one they could have made otherwise — say, with more courage or reasonable foresight or with reasonably expected maturity or social conscience — then they are responsible. | HUMAN |
Mr President, since Commissioner Frattini has stated quite clearly that there is evidence of the trade in women and children, along with forced prostitution, increasing during this football World Cup, it is not, then, just a problem on paper but also a major problem in real terms, and it is positively disturbing that this should still occur in our western society in 2006. It is therefore right and proper that there has been so much political commotion recently and that not only Parliament, but also the Commission and the Council of Ministers are concerning themselves with this problem. | HUMAN |
Whales, as the largest mammals, follow a unique reproductive process shaped by their limbless bodies and aquatic environment. The two massive creatures turn onto their sides, aligning their bellies at an angle. The male's reproductive organ is notably large, measuring six to eight feet in length and fifteen to sixteen inches in circumference when at rest. The female's vulva is elongated, with a prominent udder nearby that extends significantly during nursing. This udder functions with a pumping mechanism, allowing the calf to latch on and receive milk efficiently, demonstrating a remarkable adaptation of anatomy to the demands of their marine habitat. | AI |
The fire served as a mediator between the gods and humans, carrying offerings to the divine. It also embodied divinity itself, functioning as both a god and a recipient of worship. This duality led to the concept that Agni, the fire god, performed sacrifices to himself, offering himself as both the giver and the recipient. From this idea emerged the notion that he presented himself as the sacrificial victim, which later evolved into the myths and legends surrounding him. Thus, the sacrifice of the god became an act of the god sacrificing himself. | AI |
The long-term success of conservation projects depends on aligning them with meaningful economic development. As a result, conservationists are focusing on strategies that connect conservation efforts with sustainable development, especially in economically disadvantaged regions. Integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs) have emerged as a widely adopted approach to achieve this balance. These projects integrate conservation initiatives with local traditions and economic development goals, such as reducing poverty, creating jobs, improving healthcare, and ensuring food security. A key objective of ICDPs is to engage local communities in conservation while providing them with opportunities and access to markets where the sustainable use of natural resources is more beneficial than their exploitation. | AI |
The second sentence of § 11(b)(2) does not undermine this conclusion. It mandates the Commission to require a holding company to cease its status as such for any subsidiaries that are themselves holding companies. However, this directive does not strip the Commission of its authority to simplify a holding company’s capitalization, even when its subsidiaries are operating companies. If this were not the case, the Commission, when addressing a complex network of interconnected companies, would be forced to halt its efforts to streamline the structure upon encountering a holding company that owns only an "integrated public-utility system," regardless of how unnecessary the continued existence of that holding company might be. Such an interpretation would conflict with the statute’s preamble, which emphasizes the goal of "compel[ling] the simplification of public-utility holding-company systems * * * and provid[ing] for their elimination" — § 1(c), 15 U.S.C.A. § 79a(c). | AI |
Fortunately, young Ryan manages to secure a few days off from school to convince both the Russian Premier and the U.S. President that he understands the situation better than they do. After several tense moments, the President reluctantly orders a reduction to Defcon 3, earning Jack a commendation. I haven’t read the book this film is based on, but I suspect it has been simplified and made more accessible for younger audiences. Maybe Jack can read it himself when he’s older. | AI |
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, never in my career as an MEP, and I have been a Member since 1979, has there been a treaty which leaves one with such a bitter taste as this one. That is hardly surprising, for whoever takes stock of the chaos which the government leaders created in Nice, is not amazed that all eyes are now fixed on post-Nice. That is, after all, the quickest way to make people forget Nice. One of the problems is that it has now become impossible to explain to any citizen how vote weighting works, or what the outcome of the Commissioners' rota system is. Neither is it clear how many MEPs there will be between 2004 and 2009. | HUMAN |
In September 1944, he was posted to Burma and appointed as the second-in-command of the 9th Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Rifles, also known as ‘Naubara’ and later designated as the 14th Frontier Force Regiment. The battalion was part of the 80th Indian Infantry Brigade, led by Brigadier Stuart Greeves, which itself was under Major General Douglas David Gracey's 20th Indian Division. After the previous two battalion commanders were wounded, he was promoted to battalion commander in February 1945 and was later awarded the Military Cross for gallantry. He was also mentioned in dispatches twice more in the London Gazette, on 27 September 1945 and 9 May 1946. | AI |
Progress in the common space of freedom, security, and justice remains ongoing, with the EU's focus on readmission agreements being a key priority. These agreements are closely tied to Russia's interest in visa facilitation and its long-term goal of achieving a visa-free regime. For the EU, a robust readmission agreement is a fundamental component of this shared framework, and there is no intention to compromise on quality for the sake of expediency. The aim is to secure a strong outcome that aligns with the interests of the people. | AI |
McKay’s book on the Bond films (covering those released before *Skyfall*, as it was published in 2008) was an enjoyable read, though it contains a notable factual error: Mulder and Scully are FBI agents, not CIA. I approached the book as a personal interpretation of the Bond movie universe, which holds a distinct place in cinema history, rather than as a scholarly work with extensive references. While some British colloquialisms were unfamiliar and a glossary would have been helpful, this did not detract from the overall pleasure of reading the book. | AI |
She expressed concern that the merger of the companies could lead to higher prices, as reported in an interview with the Daily Mail. In the UK, there are currently four mobile phone companies that operate their own networks: Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three. Other providers, such as TalkTalk and Virgin Mobile, rely on renting network space from these companies. If O2 and Three were to merge, the number of network operators would decrease from four to three. She noted that in Austria, a similar reduction from four to three operators resulted in price increases. | AI |
Patients were drawn from the Mpilo Hospital HIV Clinic in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe\\'s second largest city. Mpilo clinic has provided ART since April 2004, with decentralization of care of adult patients stable on ART to primary care level from 2006, and has accumulated a large cohort of adolescent patients. HIV care at Mpilo is provided by the public sector in partnership with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and other organizations. Although ART initiation was carried out by doctors, routine clinical care was provided mainly by nurses trained in HIV management, with supervision from on-site doctors. | HUMAN |
There is no arguing with success. This evolved advice has worked well for most of our existence. But of course we live in a radically different world now, one that we have not evolved to live in. Our groups are much bigger and spread across the globe; food comes to us from a complicated and intricate supply chain, and medicine is, for many of us, readily available; and our knowledge of the world and of ourselves is enormously more advanced, and many of the problems we face require difficult, scientific and technological thinking. Our survival in today’s circumstances requires that we out-think the ways of thinking burned into us over evolutionary time, which is a hugely difficult challenge. | HUMAN |
> But to this day, Linus admits that monolithic is a better design choice. Well, that depends. Linus is somewhat invested in the monolithic side of things. If you see the world through a real-time lens and you think of computers as things that simply never get switched off until they are physically end-of-lifed, if reliability and latency are more important than raw throughput, if you want to be able to upgrade your OS without a reboot and so on then microkernels start to make a lot more sense. | HUMAN |
The Commission, along with the Member States, should closely monitor how the US legal system affects European citizens.

The average difference was found to be ΔTeff = 5 ± 15 K, indicating that the IRFM can be applied to all HARPS GTO stars with Hipparcos Johnson photometry (ESA 1997). Using Hipparcos Tycho BTVT magnitudes transformed to the Johnson system (Bessell 2000) instead yielded negligible differences in the results. Figure 3 (right panels) compares these findings with effective temperatures derived from the spectroscopic analysis in Sect. 3, showing excellent agreement with a mean difference of −1 ± 63 K. A slight discrepancy was observed for cooler stars, potentially due to inconsistencies in stellar model atmospheres at the lower temperature range of this study. | AI |
Actually, thinking about it, I think the biggest database beginner mistake I see is simply not coming to grips with what the data actually means. The project I'm working on right now is a do-over project that exists because the original project team didn't take the time to really understand why they were doing the project, why the project mattered to the client; they simply saw, "it needs to do 'x', it needs to do 'y'". The client, in turn, simply took it for granted that the project team understood problem. At the end: it resulted in irrecoverably bad data collection. | HUMAN |
Mr President, the current strategy for addressing the debt crisis is worsening the situation. While Greece, Portugal, and Ireland are being offered debt settlements, their overall debt levels are rising rather than decreasing. This method is counterproductive, as it attempts to resolve a debt issue by accumulating more debt. Europe must move beyond its reluctance to consider debt write-offs. A viable path forward involves restructuring public debt through partial write-offs, alongside stricter enforcement of the Stability and Growth Pact, including automatic penalties for non-compliance. | AI |
A prayer service will take place at All Saints Church in Weston at 10am this morning. Weston All Saints Primary School remained closed today after being used by police as part of the investigation into yesterday’s incident. Air ambulance crews landed at a nearby school shortly after the crash occurred yesterday afternoon. This incident brings to mind the tragic accident in Glasgow last December, when a bin lorry lost control, killing six people. During that event, Christmas shoppers witnessed the lorry mounting a pavement and striking pedestrians in one of the city center’s busiest streets at lunchtime. | AI |
So, decades ago I worked as the lead tech for a start-up ISP. This was back when the Internet was still new to the masses, so we were doing our damnedest to expand awareness that, no, AOL isn't really the Internet. We ended up doing a lot of business trades to save on costs, and to get the name out there. For example, we bartered the creation of a radio station webpage for free online advertising, then later did similar with the TV station and some billboard companies. It was all going really well. | HUMAN |
The country of Peru is naturally subject to earthquakes. About fifty years before I was there, or about the year 1670, there were two great ones at Lima, which overturned many houses, churches, and convents. And in the reign of Charles II. the late king of Spain, there was an earthquake near the equator, which lifted up whole fields, carrying them to the distance of several miles. Small shocks are often felt which do no harm, and I have been often called out of bed on such occasions, and heard nothing more about the matter; but on these occasions the bells always toll to prayers. | HUMAN |
This contributes further to the inflationary potential. In the angular stability analysis, after stabilizing the volume modulus σ in (2.18) at a fixed value of τ, a single-field potential in τ is obtained. However, for this to remain valid across the entire deformed throat, it is necessary to ensure that the broken angular isometries are significantly heavier than the radial mode and remain effectively stabilized at their minima throughout the extremal trajectories. This section examines this issue for all broken isometries by analyzing their effective masses, which vary with the radial direction. | AI |
About a month later, Gabe ended up moving back to Portland where things were always awkward when we saw each other and one drunk night we ended up hooking up... Fast forward a few months later I had found out that he got convicted as a felon on the run because he had been dealing drugs. I found this out when he got caught one night and he got arrested and sent back to San Diego. I started writing him while he was in jail and confronted him about everything and told him that I knew now why he had ended things so quickly and that I realized why he had been a shady boyfriend and that I was upset that he hid this secret from me. Regardless, I still was so in love with him and cared about him so much. | HUMAN |

We’ve hired individuals from these threads with experience ranging from 0 to 10 years. | AI |
The misfortune was not due to poor generalship on McDowell's part, as there is no evidence to support that claim. The decision to advance was not his own but was ordered by higher command. It is now clear that Beauregard's forces were reinforced by Johnston's army, a possibility that should have been anticipated given the Confederates' advantage of the interior line. The failure of the campaign cannot be attributed to McDowell. His strategy was sound, and his battle plan was more methodical than that of his opponent. He outmaneuvered Beauregard effectively, but his efforts were ultimately thwarted by a recurring reality the North would face in this war: Southern troops refused to acknowledge defeat. | AI |
Pazzani and Billsus treat the topics of books users vote for as transactions, enabling the extraction of association rules for topics that frequently co-occur within a user’s interests (Pazzani & Billsus, 2007). To broaden user preferences, the algorithm generates all possible topic combinations for each book a user votes for and filters association rules where the antecedent matches one of these combinations. The resulting topics are then added to the user’s preferences. When combined with a domain ontology, association rules can effectively extract, understand, and formalize new knowledge (Ruiz, Foguem, & Grabot, 2014; Sene, Kamsu-Foguem, & Rumeau, 2018). However, association rules must be adapted for recommendation tasks, as they are primarily designed as exploratory tools (Rudin, Letham, Salleb-Aouissi, Kogan, & Madigan, 2011) to uncover previously unknown relationships that require analysis for their significance (Atkinson, Figueroa, & Pérez, 2013). | AI |
The structure features a forward high point and a rear edge, with a smooth, gently upward convex shape between these two points. It avoids any concave sections that could generate turbulence, lift-off, or cavitation at high flow speeds. The rear edge is sharp and horizontally directed backward, ensuring that even at low flow speeds or with minimal drops, water separates cleanly from the lower edge of the structure. This separation occurs at a precise point, forming a smooth curtain of water that falls freely, well clear of the rear wall face positioned forward of the rear edge. | AI |
During the 1930s, many Americans were hesitant to become involved in another global conflict. As Hitler's influence expanded in Europe and Japan pursued territorial gains in the Pacific, the United States maintained a policy of neutrality. This stance persisted even after Japan's invasion of China and Germany's invasions of Poland and later Western Europe. While President Franklin Roosevelt supported providing aid to Britain, congressional opponents expressed concerns about the potential risks. Political cartoonist Clifford Berryman produced numerous works during the 1930s and early 1940s that focused on the theme of U.S. neutrality. | AI |
Research suggests that directional signals are present in the hippocampus, supported by evidence from studies on brown bats and Egyptian fruit bats, which show that CA1 place cells exhibit directional tuning. Lesions in the lateral mammillary nucleus (LMN) have been found to increase place field repetition in radially arranged compartments. The LMN, which contains head direction cells, is a critical component of the head direction circuit, as its lesions eliminate the head direction signal in the anterior dorsal thalamus (ADN). Previous studies have also explored the impact of lesions in the ADN or the postsubiculum (PoS) on place cells. | AI |
The Commission's proposal does not offer a great deal that is new to a Fund that is as broad and versatile as the ERDF and that, in addition, has generally worked very well. Your rapporteur believes that the European Parliament has enriched the proposal, defining the priorities and adding different political connotations to the technical proposals, connotations that have come from the amendments of the different parliamentary groups and committees. Moreover, it gives the proposal as a whole a coherent structure that also, undoubtedly, identifies better with the problems that concern citizens and the less developed regions of Europe. | HUMAN |
The majority of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs found this proposal too and recommended re-examining the whole area of operations of rating agencies without including in their recommendation anything as specific as the creation of a European registration authority. With all due respect for the majority opinion of my colleagues, I beg to differ for two reasons. Firstly, because a regulatory authority operates in the United States and, secondly, because – as I have already said – the lack of a corresponding authority in Europe creates a potentially harmful imbalance. | HUMAN |
