Our first hire from OU (and the top Energy Management student) was Jody Crook. He joined the analyst program last February after a December 1999 graduation. His first rotation has been on my team, working as a risk book administrator in gas trading. He is in the process of looking for a second rotation at the end of February, and I think that he is someone that you should consider for a rotation on your team. In addition to this last year's risk experience at Enron, Jody worked as a landman for two summers for Burlington Resources. | HUMAN |
Would they risk their life or health in doing so?What about medical procedures? Would they refuse treatment, or request a chaperone if the person performing an x-ray or drawing blood is a woman? What if they spend the night in the hospital - would they try to prevent a female nurse from being in the room with them alone, even if it is just to check on them or give them their medication?How would they decline meeting or speaking with a female police officer, or if they need to come in for questioning on a criminal matter where they are the accused? I find it laughable that any man would attempt to avoid or delay police matters by invoking the “I can’t talk to women” clause. If anything, a determined female officer would specifically decline the request and take it as an affront to their professionalism and authority. | HUMAN |
He encounters a fundamental belief held by humanity. To preserve the integrity of his theory, he must protect the concept of the home from being dismantled. Families are where individuals are placed by a higher order. Despite searching for alternatives, people inevitably return to the understanding that, though imperfect, the home remains deeply connected to both external life and innate instincts. Attempting to improve what has already been established as ideal proves ultimately futile. | AI |
With regard to passengers, I would urge caution. I note that my colleague Mr Hatzidakis says 'be bold'. But the problem with that is that one country that decided to be bold with its railways some years back was the United Kingdom. The result of that 'boldness' was a botched privatisation that caused absolute chaos in the railway industry and has caused the present government to spend a lot more money on the railways than was planned. Yet we still do not have a better service. | HUMAN |
The third question: does the new Commission endorse all the proposals in what is known as the 'Prodi package', or does it consider that it should be readjusted and, if so, on which issues? As I said earlier, we endorse all the proposals. The Commission stands by the package proposed earlier this year. We do not call it by that name: it is the Commission's proposal and we endorse that proposal, namely the proposed financial framework, complemented by a series of legislative and non-legislative proposals adopted between February and September 2004. They have been submitted to the Council and to various committees of this Parliament. | HUMAN |
Conjunction with the “separating” particle bi. An added emphasis on the separateness of two or more conjoined units is given by means of a particle bi (approximately ‘too, also’), as in examples ()–(). It is primarily added immediately after the constituents in focus, which in most cases are noun phrases, whereas the coordination itself is sentential rather than phrasal (which is not obvious with copular clauses lacking an overt copula, as in ()). The particle used this way is added after each of the conjoined constituents, rendering it ‘X as well as Y’ or ‘both X and Y’. The use of bisyndesis for emphatic coordination is known from a number of other languages (: 15–17). | HUMAN |
b) Joint spectral intensity distribution for the collected signal and trigger modes from KDP crystal. The colour scale indicates the number of recorded coincidence counts for each spectral bin in the 2D scan. The calculated spectral purity of the state is 0.95. alignment beam in a mode approximately the same as the conditionally prepared Fock states [23]. However, the DFG field can never be completely identical to the SPDC due to effects such as gain induced diffraction [24] and the inability of the coherent field to exhibit perfect interference with a signal in a mixed quantum state. | HUMAN |
The magistracy remained structured as before, with a College of Aldermen comprising seven members and two patrician treasurers. Their appointment process stayed unchanged, but it was now required that these positions be filled exclusively by patricians residing in Brussels who were not employed by the Duke or any prominent noble. The charter justified this by noting that such individuals had historically proven to be "peu profitables." Additionally, the magistracy was expanded to include eight plebeian members: six councillors and two treasurers. These were chosen by the aldermen from a list of three candidates provided by the trade companies. | AI |
As shown in the partial cross-section view of FIG. 2, the structure is formed on a lightly-doped P-type solid single-crystal silicon substrate (P−) 11. The integrated circuit components are assumed to be located in the upper portion of this substrate, such as in a lightly-doped N-type epitaxial layer, with a portion 12 visible at the boundary of the protective structure 10. These components may be directly formed in the epitaxial layer (as in some bipolar transistors) or within more heavily-doped P-type wells (13) or N-type wells (14), which house N-channel and P-channel MOS transistors. The protective structure consists of a heavily-doped P-type wall 15 connected to ground. | AI |
Pearl Nugent remained in her cabin, contemplating her next steps. She reflected on the consequences of her impulsive actions, recognizing how they had placed her in an awkward and precarious situation. It was clear she had deeply offended Monsieur de Güldenfeldt, a misstep she could ill afford. In her new life, she needed allies, not enemies, and yet her rash behavior had likely earned her the lasting displeasure of someone whose influence could significantly harm her prospects. The gravity of her mistake became increasingly apparent, and with a bitter, hollow laugh, she began to adjust her attire for the shipboard dinner, her thoughts weighed down by regret. | AI |
On February 7, 1943, the tug “J.M. Taylor” sank while engaged in helping to tow a car float of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad across the Delaware River at Philadelphia. The accident was apparently unusual in nature, the cause of it still being unknown. Five of the nine crew members were drowned. Three days later the tug owners and the underwriters employed a law firm, of which respondent Fortenbaugh is a member, to defend them against potential suits by representatives of the deceased crew members and to sue the railroad for damages to the tug. | HUMAN |
Early in our relationship, she mentioned a man she had met on a dating site like Match or OkCupid. At some point, he emailed her an invitation to what seemed like a private swinger event. She clarified that she wasn’t interested in being with other men but admitted she was curious about that lifestyle. She also mentioned she wouldn’t mind watching me with another woman. While this raised concerns for me at the time, she framed it as mere curiosity, and I let it go. Still, the conversation has stayed with me since then. Looking back, it might sound more significant than it felt in the moment, but that’s the gist of what happened. | AI |
She will also address the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact, a topic some of you have raised. The Pact was revised in 2005, and since then, there has been complete consensus on its implementation, as I mentioned in a previous debate. Yesterday, the Ecofin Council, following the meeting in Paris on Saturday, unanimously agreed that the current Pact, as revised in 2005, provides sufficient flexibility to address emerging challenges, such as rising public deficits. This Parliament also participated in that debate and supported the consensus. These issues can be managed within the existing framework of the rules, without disregarding them. | AI |
Secondly, there are preparations for the consequences of enlargement on CFSP and ESDP. Enlargement will have a major impact on the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Together with the Danish Presidency, we have started thinking about the consequences of this. We have to make CFSP structures responsive enough to cater for 10 or more new Member States. Through the Wider Europe initiative we will look more closely into how to organise relations, and whenever possible, seek partnership with the 'near abroad' in the East, the South-East and the South. | HUMAN |
We would thus produce effective terms (which is good if we believe Conjecture 1); but we would encounter divergences as well, coming from the propagator of the zero-momentum dilaton. It would therefore be very interesting to find a way to deal with these divergences (Belopolsky managed to do this at order four [4]). 18 Acknowledgments I thank N. Berkovits for useful discussions, and H. Yang and B. Zwiebach for comments on the manuscript. And I wish to thank the organizers of the informal string theory workshop at HRI in Allahabad, where part of this work was done, for their hospitality.

Carlin needs to travel back in time, save the girl and stop the terrorist, but has to be quick for the clock is ticking.... A Tony Scott/Denzel Washington collaboration is always worth watching as they usually deliver a movie with an intricate plot, thrilling action sequences, and characters that are driven by their emotions. These are rare qualities in action movies to-day. Déjà vu is no exception for it has all these qualities and more. The supporting cast is fantastic, a sublime Adam Goldberg makes a great super intelligent and witty side kick to Washington and Jim Caviezel is unnerving as the psychopath who believes his actions are for a greater good. Be warned; if you are a Val Kilmer fan, you will be a little bit disappointed as he seems to be a bystander in most events and not a participant. | HUMAN |
I can really understand why such great minds could have imposter syndrome. They put so much thoughts and work into their findings, and stumble upon so many obstacles, struggling for months or years to make it work, to finally reach a result that makes so much sense and eventually seems simple to them. In the end, they just think anyone with the same dedication, work and curiosity could have done it, and that they actually took quite some time to figure it out, and that the theory is actually imperfect and could be better, and the only reason they did it is because of some random hindsight anybody could have had... | HUMAN |
The median mercury level in this study was over twice that reported for women of childbearing age in the USA, based on NHANES data. However, the 90th and 95th percentile values were higher in the US study compared to this one. This discrepancy is unlikely to be explained by differences in seafood consumption, as consumption is lower in the USA than in the UK, and mercury levels in UK seafood are generally higher than those in the USA. To our knowledge, no other published data on prenatal mercury levels in the UK are available. These findings highlight the need for further research, including separate analyses of non-fish eaters and fish eaters, to confirm these results. | AI |
However, I also specified clearly that, as things stand at the moment, we can achieve extremely important objectives through the Community method as it is today, for example, to improve our action in the Balkans. I feel that it is a matter for our consciences to consider how great and yet how fragmented our undertaking is in the Balkans, and the sparsity of the results of the first stage of this undertaking at least, due to our fragmentation. Another example, as I have said, is the energy policy: how great is our desire and how great is the need for a common energy policy, especially now that, in place of the national oil companies, we have a genuine market which must be managed within the context of coordination of the market as a whole. | HUMAN |
In earlier sections, I provided a brief overview of the Italian peninsula's experiences during two significant barbarian invasions—those led by Alaric (407-410) and Attila (452). At the time of the latter invasion, the Western Empire was under the rule of Valentinian III, the grandson of Theodosius the Great. He resided alternately in Rome and Ravenna, the latter being a city nearly impervious to barbarian attacks due to its natural defenses, including the Adriatic Sea and the intricate network of canals and pools formed by two rivers. Valentinian III, however, was a self-centered and idle ruler, more devoted to indulgence than governance. | AI |
For our business, it is valuable to know which physical devices people are using, not just which OS or browser version they are on. Our product is one which heavily relies on the CPU performance - knowing which devices our customers are on tells us which devices we should prioritise the testing on. Yes, we may be able to optimise the product to work on an iPhone 3G (picked as an example of a lower end iPhone), but if the number of customers who use that device is low enough, then the business case won't stack up. When it comes to device testing, it seems only prudent to try and mimic the device profile of our customer base. | HUMAN |
Probably if the Tony Awards had been in existence then he would have won that as well. The Oscar is even more remarkable when you consider who he was up against, Humphrey Bogart for Casablanca, Gary Cooper in For Whom The Bell Tolls, Mickey Rooney in The Human Comedy, and Walter Pidgeon for Madame Curie. Every one of his competitors was a bigger box office movie name than he was. Lukas's nomination is usually the kind the Academy gives to round out a field. Jack Warner knew that which is why Mady Christians did not repeat her Broadway part and the role of Lukas's wife was given to Bette Davis. | HUMAN |
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, as this House prepares to vote on this motion for a resolution calling upon China to put a stop to its nuclear tests - which our entire group will of course be supporting - I look around in vain, I must say, for the Fausto Bertinottis and Carlo Ripa di Meanas and their like, our friends in the socialist group, our friends of the United Left, our friends in the Green group who were so active, so determined just a few months ago when, disdaining the most elementary courtesy, they were attacking President Chirac in a manner that we all remember. | HUMAN |
Really pretty boring shot-on-video horror movie ("too gory for the silver screen" boasts the distributor on the video box). A guy into heavy metal has dreams about a succubus, and he tries some kind of rituals to summon her. His sister has a party in their house, and a bunch of poorly differentiated characters arrive, and have a pretty lame party. The succubus kills people, and nobody seems to notice for a while. Except for a few exterior shots of the house, I think the entire movie took place inside the main characters' house. | HUMAN |
In some states, recording a call without the collector's permission or prior notice is illegal. To determine if your state has such restrictions, consult your state consumer protection agency. You can also file a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the federal agency responsible for regulating collection agencies. Request a complaint form from the FTC or submit a written letter. The FTC can be reached at 6th and Pennsylvania Avenue. | AI |
This data article examines the challenges of internal displacement in Nigeria and the coping strategies employed by displaced women. The study adopts a qualitative approach, with data collected from women across various social and marital categories, including single women, married women, widows, and elderly women. The research focuses on women displaced by Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria, specifically those residing in selected IDP camps, with a total population of 726. A sample size of 116 respondents was selected for focus group discussion (FGD) sessions. | AI |
Success is undeniable, and the advice that has guided us for much of our existence has proven effective. However, the world we now inhabit is vastly different from the one we evolved to thrive in. Our communities are larger and more globally dispersed, food reaches us through complex supply chains, and access to medicine is widespread for many. Our understanding of the world and ourselves has grown significantly, and the challenges we face often demand advanced scientific and technological solutions. To survive in this modern context, we must move beyond the ingrained ways of thinking shaped by evolution—a task that is both essential and profoundly challenging. | AI |
Darwyn Cooke addresses questions about his involvement in *Before Watchmen* directly, calmly countering the criticism that he should not have participated in the prequels. He explains his decision by stating, “People often bring up money as the motivation, but if that were the case, I’d still be in L.A. working on cartoons. For me, this was a significant challenge, and I took it on knowing there was a real risk of failure. However, putting myself out there is the only way to approach something like this. I genuinely value being part of projects where the stakes are high and the challenge is substantial.” | AI |
In 2015, the two parties established a coordinated design for the development of the railway and surrounding properties (Cervero and Murakami, 2009). MTR benefits from land premium income, categorized as differential rent Ia and Ib, as well as in-kind assets and a share of development profits, referred to as differential rent II. Ownership is divided among different stakeholders: individual flat owners purchase and own the residential towers, property developers own the shopping malls, retail stores, offices, and hotels, while the government owns the public transport interchanges. MTR manages the residential towers and earns management income. | AI |
Delegate Rawlings was born in Baltimore on March 17, 1937 to Howard Toussaint Rawlings and Beatrice (Peters) Rawlings. His father worked as a custodian in a department store and then for U.S. Postal Service. Rawlings and his five brothers and sisters grew up in the segregated public housing project called the Poe Homes, he graduated from Douglass High School in 1954, one of the three schools African Americans were allowed to attend prior to the Supreme Court Decision in Brown v. Board of Education. He earned a B.S. in mathematics from Morgan State College, an M.S. in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and completed Ph.D. coursework at the University of Maryland. Rawlings was a professor of mathematics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County from 1969-1972. | HUMAN |
In Nanteuil, the name of the village where they had stopped, the ranks of the platoon were filled by men from one of the replacement battalions that recently had arrived in France from the United States. A daily routine was quickly established, and with but one day’s rest the platoon was kept at work from early morning until late afternoon. They drilled four hours a day, were inspected daily by the acting company commander, tried to rid themselves of lice by swimming in the Marne, made secret expeditions to neighboring villages, where they got drunk and made amorous eyes at sloppy French grandmothers, threw hand-grenades in the river and watched the dead fish rise to the surface, swore at the gendarmes when those persons remonstrated with them, shrank into basements whenever the long-distance German shells were aimed at the bridge that crossed the river at Nantueil, cursed their officers, and tried to scare the new men by exaggerating the frightfulness of the front, gorged themselves on the plentiful rations, and played black jack, poker, or rolled dice out of sight of their officers. | HUMAN |
This has allowed us to keep the Titan 1.0 release on its original plan date. What we are trying to do is make the Titan project less dependent on Dan and myself and more open and inviting to other developers who wish to contribute. For instance, we have dedicated more time than usual to reviewing PRs then before. I realize there is still more work that we need to do here but so far the increased contributions have been an encouraging sign that we are heading in the right direction. So, Titan is here to stay and - as others have pointed out - there is more momentum than ever behind the project. | HUMAN |
(DE) Madam President, I have the following request. When we have formal sittings here, there is always a camera in the middle of the seating area. It is not always exactly easy for the camera operators to work there; it is also, however, a problem for Members if there is a camera where we want to work. Could we not amend the allocation of seats if we want to have the cameras here? If not, someone really needs to come up with a better technical solution. | HUMAN |
Mr. Cook expressed his gratitude to the doctors, paramedics, and police officers who assisted during the tragedy. He described Dexter as having brought "pure joy to everybody." Mrs. Cook, now 32 weeks pregnant, faces an uncertain wait to determine whether their unborn child carries the same mutated gene that affected Dexter. There is a 50% chance the baby may inherit the mutation, but testing cannot be conducted until after birth. Mr. Cook explained that if the condition is present, it could be managed through medication or surgery to implant a defibrillator. | AI |
It seems likely related to his heart, but I’m wondering if there’s a specific medical term for his condition that I can look into. If he had a clear diagnosis to present to a doctor and a specific treatment plan to pursue, he might be more willing to invest in addressing it. Are there any reputable practices in New England that you could recommend for him? Additionally, I’d appreciate advice on how to approach the topic with him in a way that encourages action without becoming overly emotional during our conversations. He tends to downplay it with his usual tough demeanor, saying it’s “just a little thing,” but I’m concerned. | AI |
The rapid price increases might be caused by speculators, but they could also be caused by the availability of easy money, as was the major factor in the recent U.S. housing bubble (bankers handing out mortgages to people who were poor credit risks). There was rampant speculation in a few markets (e.g., Florida), but the majority of people bought houses with the intention of living in them, not flipping them. The market collapsed when it became obvious that a lot of these mortgages would be foreclosed, and the easy money dried up overnight. | HUMAN |
Belarus currently lacks the readiness to pursue nuclear energy development, and the Russian government has not addressed concerns raised by neighboring countries or responded to its own population's calls for consultations. For the second time, bureaucratic obstacles have prevented the registration of an initiative proposing a public referendum on the construction of nuclear power plants. To encourage neighboring countries to adhere to the highest safety standards, the European Union should consider refusing to purchase electricity generated without meeting these standards. Using EU funds to support unsafe nuclear energy practices would be unacceptable. | AI |
After a prolonged struggle, Taskin seizes Bill, spins him around, and sets his jacket ablaze, reminiscent of a scene from *American Streetfighter*. Bill staggers aimlessly, eventually reaching the roof’s edge before plummeting to the pavement below, echoing yet another moment from the same film. This movie stands out as one of the most unintentionally amusing I’ve encountered, whether by chance or misfortune, in a bargain bin. Its poor cinematography, inexplicably overdubbed audio, subpar acting, incoherent plot, and overall lack of quality contribute to its distinctively low-budget and poorly executed feel. | AI |
The track samples Yazoo's 1982 single "Situation" (written by Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet) as its heavily synthesised backing rhythm, the difference between the rhythm of "If This Is Love" is that it is in A♭-tune, in comparison to the original's C♭-tune. The song was produced by Danish producers Joe Belmaati and Cutfather. The song features additional backing vocals from Danish singer Nabiha. Belmaati has also been credited for the keyboard and percussion instrumentation in the song, as well as for doing its engineering, mixing and programming. The song was mastered by Dick Beetham, and Graham Archer assisted in its engineering and recording. | HUMAN |
One example was the Red River patriarch Alexander Ross, who started out as an amateur schoolmaster in Lower Canada, rising through the fur trade to become sheriff of Assiniboia. His son James attended university in Toronto and became a journalist, while another son, William, became a postmaster (a bureaucratic position that only came into existence with the invention of the organized postal system). A contemporary in Prince Edward Island, Edward Jarvis, trained as a lawyer in New Brunswick and London and ascended to the post of chief justice on the island colony. His sons Munson, Henry, and William were destined for careers in law, medicine, and the clergy, respectively.8 | HUMAN |
Physical play in hockey includes both legal techniques like checking and illegal ones such as elbowing, high-sticking, and cross-checking, which are often associated with fighting. While criticized by some, fighting remains a significant attraction for many fans, with some attending games specifically to witness it. Supporters argue that fighting deters excessive rough play, protects star players, and fosters team unity. The discussion about whether fighting should be allowed in hockey continues, but despite concerns, such as the risk of injuries from enforcers, professional leagues have no plans to remove it, as most players view it as an integral part of the sport. | AI |
Her husband Alexey, meanwhile, has a 27-year-old daughter from his first marriage. ' The main thing is that I tragically lost my son of 29 years from my first marriage just when he was in the prime of life,' she revealed. ' Afterwards I felt an incredible desire to have another child, even though it was so late in life, and I have now fulfilled that desire.' Galina, who did not say how her son had died, said that she was now devoting all of her efforts to spending time with Cleopatra, who was born weighing just over six pounds. Alexey told Russian media they were both delighted with the new arrival - and others seem to be just as happy. | HUMAN |
He would not be persuaded to leave London, and perhaps it was the wisest act of his life, though neither the Ballad of Reading Gaol nor De Profundis carry conviction. Need I say that my judgment is personal? I have read in cold type that Pater was a "forerunner" of Wilde; that Wilde is a second Jesus Christ--which latter statement stuns one. ( The Whitmaniacs are fond of claiming the same for Walt, who is not unlike that silly and sinister monster described by Rabelais as quite overshadowing the earth with its gigantic wings, and after dropping vast quantities of mustard-seed on the embattled hosts below flew away yawping: "Carnival, Carnival, Carnival!")

2017), and estimation of the UV fluence and calculation of various factors including petri factor, water factor, divergence factor, reflection factor, and collimation factor (Kheyrandish et al. , 2018). Despite the well-established nature of UV lamp technology, there is increasing interest in UV-LED technology given the advantages of LEDs over UV lamp-based systems. However, the competitiveness of UV-LEDs with conventional UV lamps needs to be demonstrated in terms of the advantages they provide through, for example, the combination of desired wavelengths and their potential synergistic effect, energy efficiency, and other operational advantages such as pulse vs continuous irradiation. Considering the different mechanisms involved in disinfection and damage to DNA, investigation of the effectiveness of the combination of low, intermediate, and higher wavelength UV-LEDs for direct and indirect damage looks promising. | HUMAN |
“I mostly got hit from one end and that too against (Pat) Cummins. There was this crack on the pitch around the shortof-length spot from where the ball would just take off. Cummins has the skill to make the ball rear up from there and make it follow you. In case I took my hand up to defend it, there was a risk that I would glove the ball.

Picken's Hole, located at the southern end of Crook Peak, is significant due to its well-preserved and clearly stratified sequence of deposits and faunal remains, all dating to the Devensian period. Situated between the plateau and the valley floor, the cave is named after M.J. Picken, who discovered teeth in soil disturbed by badgers. Excavations have yielded numerous Middle Palaeolithic artefacts, as well as two Neanderthal teeth dated to approximately 55,000 years BP. Additionally, faunal remains from around 35,000 BP have been recovered, including those of spotted hyena, lion, Arctic fox, mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, horse, reindeer, suslik, and the northern vole (Microtus oeconomus). | AI |
The increased source buffer locality makes CCache a more efficient alternative to data duplication than DUP. We also evaluated the performance benefits of the dirty-merge optimization. The optimization reduces the number of merges required by only merging data updated by a core. Our evaluation showed that this optimization does not provide performance benefit to update heavy benchmarks like K-Means, Key-Value store and BFS. However, for Page Rank, where a lot of CData is only read and never updated, the dirty merge optimization was able to reduce the number of merges performed by 24X compared to a CCache implementation without the optimization 7. | HUMAN |
Slavery in the Indian Ocean World, a region of interaction among communities bordering the Indian Ocean, existed long before the rise of Islam in the seventh century CE. At the height of the Swahili city-states, Muslim traders dominated the slave trade in this area. Slaves were often war captives sold to the Arabian Peninsula and areas around the Persian Gulf. They were employed in various roles, including as sailors, agricultural workers, pearl divers, domestic servants, concubines, and musicians. However, details about the daily lives of these slaves remain scarce. | AI |
Wildstar is not gonna be for most people who love this game. The typical MMO crowd will hop from game to game like they are known to do, but they will be pretty disappointed in Wildstar, which from my experience may have overtaken wow if it were released around the same time. Because it's basically just a better version of classic wow. However wild star seems to put too much focus on end game, which is something so MMOers love, but I like to actually take my time and play what I feel is a huge part of the game (lvl 1 to max level), and with Wildstar it just seems like it is totally focused on getting you to endgame as quickly as possible. | HUMAN |
in writing. - ( LT) On 23 April 2007, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Republic of Korea with a view to concluding an EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement. The agreement incorporates a bilateral safeguard clause that provides for the possibility of re-imposing the most-favoured-nation (MFN) rate when, as a result of trade liberalisation, imports increase to such an extent and take place under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause, serious injury to the EU industry producing a similar or directly competing product. For such measures to become operational, the safeguard clause must be incorporated into EU law, not least because the procedural aspects of the imposition of safeguard measures, as well as the rights of interested parties, need to be specified. The proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council that is before us constitutes the legal instrument required for implementation of the safeguard clause in the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement. | HUMAN |
I'm hornier than a two-peckered billy goat, but I do still have standards. Many men do not follow tabloid models for beauty. Men are hard-wired to be attracted to women with symmetrical and perky breasts, big hips/small waist, round bottoms, and aesthetically pleasing facial features because symmetry of the face/body is a sign of good genes and wide hips is a sign of fertility and increased ability to give birth. While I agree that women perpetuate the current "optimal" body image stereotypes, men also want a woman that is in shape and in healthy condition. | HUMAN |
Finally, on macro-financial issues, it is true that we need to improve the supervisory and regulatory framework - it is absolutely true at European level and at a global level - but we will not put an end to these bubbles, this excess of liquidity, this risk to financial stability unless we seriously tackle global imbalances. This is the real origin of these imbalances. We cannot solve the current or previous problems, or perhaps the next challenges to the functioning of the global economy, without tackling the global imbalances that are still there. | HUMAN |
When writing a program, the typical approach involves retrieving all relevant data from the database and then applying logic in the application layer to determine outcomes. For instance, if you store information about a million objects in the database and need to check for potential collisions, you would first fetch all the objects and then use the application layer to assess whether they are close enough to collide. However, the approach being discussed here involves using the database to determine proximity and then performing the collision calculations directly within the database. While this method has its merits, a more flexible solution might involve using the database to identify proximity and then shifting to the application layer to handle the collision calculations, as this would allow for greater configurability in the application. | AI |
We report mean KID values calculated on the target domain (Table II) and on both the source and target domains (Table III) to evaluate the performance of our proposed approach and compare it with state-of-the-art methods. Our approach consistently achieved the lowest KID scores for the target domain across all translation tasks, demonstrating its effectiveness in generating realistic images. Notably, SPA-GAN does not always yield the smallest KID values when both source and target domains are considered. For instance, in column 2 of Table III (Orange → Apple), AGGAN achieves the smallest KID value of 5.32, which is averaged between generated apples and real apples (target) as well as generated apples and real oranges (source). In contrast, SPA-GAN achieves the smallest KID value in column 2 of Table II, which is computed solely based on real apples. | AI |
This claim seems overstated and fails to address the specific cases it aims to address. If someone truly could not have chosen differently from what they did, then they cannot be held responsible for that choice or its consequences. However, making a choice "in character" due to cowardice, weak will, or other relatively minor factors—often cited by lawyers and psychiatrists as forces that compel decisions—does not necessarily mean the choice was unavoidable. The key issue, in my view, is not whether people should be held accountable for choices they could not have made differently, but whether the specific choice in question was genuinely unavoidable.

This insect was initially documented in California in 1892 by American entomologist Frank Ellsworth Blaisdell, who named it *Scymnus lophanthae* and believed it to be a native American species. Unknown to him, the beetle was actually an introduced species. Around the same time, Australian entomologist Thomas Blackburn described it in its native Australia, naming it *Rhizobius toowoombae*. However, Blaisdell's name took precedence as it was published first, rendering *R. toowoombae* a synonym. The specific name *lophanthae* refers to the plant *Paraserianthes lophantha*, on which Blaisdell first observed the ladybird. | AI |
A few weeks later I landed a job with a CV built with pdfcv. A few of my friends came back to me with success stories too. After a year or so I noticed a traffic increase from organic search and finally had the guts to start charging for it. I designed the charging scheme to minimise the amount of support I'd have to do: you get a preview of your CV for free and you can upgrade to remove the watermarks if you like it. It seems to work well and generates enough passive income to pay for my lunch. | HUMAN |
The application claims that ICA injection offers advantages not previously documented, specifically by preventing stem cells from becoming trapped in the lungs, a known issue with intravenous injections as cited by Barbash (Remarks pg. 6 para. 2). However, this argument was deemed unpersuasive. It is asserted that the combined teachings of Shah, Eichler, and Aboody collectively provide sufficient guidance to render the claimed method obvious. Shah describes the use of “multifunctional receptor targeted cancer therapeutics” (MRTCTs) delivered via stem cells to treat various cancers, including lung, breast, melanoma, and brain cancer (0166). Eichler further supports this by noting that most brain metastases originate from primary cancers such as lung, breast, and melanoma (pg. | AI |
Next, the speaker refers to Martin with the third person singular pronoun in de lompat ‘he jumped’. Now Fitri returns the attack and kicks Martin badly. At this point, the speaker interrupts the flow of her narrative about the two non-speech-act participants and employs the np 2sg noun phrase Martin ko ‘you Martin’ to relate that Martin fell to the ground. In turning away from her audience and addressing absent Martin, the speaker gives “emotional impetus” to the fact that Martin went down after having been kicked by a woman, thereby creating an emotional reaction in her audience. | HUMAN |
The aim is to become one of the largest newsprint marketers in North America, fundamentally transforming how newsprint is bought and sold by providing both consumers and producers with more tools to manage risks. McMahon noted that the current methods used by the forest products industry to handle price fluctuations—whether through reliance on producer trust or supply management—have proven ineffective for both producers and publishers. He pointed to a graph showing price changes alongside inventory levels, questioning whether inventory drives price shifts or follows them. McMahon also raised the issue of price volatility, which has persisted for a century, asking why it would be resolved in 2002. | AI |
Ashton mentioned his favorite foods for a dinner date, expressing a preference for Italian dishes but praising French cuisine as the "best overall." He also noted that British fish and chips can be "exceptional if done well" and shared that the best Dim Sum he’s ever had was in London. Ashton has been engaged to Mila Kunis, the 31-year-old *Black Swan* actress, since February of last year. However, he recently fueled speculation that they might already be married after posting a New Year’s Eve photo on Facebook captioned, "Happy New Year, (love) The Kutchers." Additionally, the brunette actress in the advert bears a resemblance to Ashton’s ex-wife, Demi Moore. | AI |
With our HiRISE DTM at Fan 2, we can compare the stratigraphic dips of the individual beds to those of the ridged deposits, estimated by fitting lines of dip to elevation points extracted from individual ridge traces. The dips extracted from the bedding (Fig. 4c and Table 2) and from the ridges (∼5–10°) are entirely consistent, and confirm that the fan has three distinct facies divisions: Stratigraphic Unit 1—occurs as (1) small outcrops of light-toned deposits at the base of the fan deposits, particularly in the west of the fan, and (2) large-scale LTDs that are opposite the fan, both of which are interstratified with overlying ridged facies; Stratigraphic Unit 2—ridged deposits that can be split into two subfacies (a) ridged distal facies where slopes gradually decrease to ∼0° away from the fan apex, and associated with finer-grained radial ridges, (b) ridged proximal facies with steeper slopes, up to ∼18°, with the top of this unit corresponding to the onset of the ridged facies; Stratigraphic Unit 3—a top unit of constant dip down fan of ∼6°, which corresponds to the alternating deposits of coarse sheets and underlying finer material, into which steps develop. | HUMAN |
Critiquing military recruitment must entail “an analysis of the global operation of militarization, and the social and political consequences of both the preparation for and the actual use of military force” (Dalby, 1996: 656). In kind, the paper demonstrates that the RAF's BPotS images – with their particular designations of spaces, places and peoples – are highly problematic, not least because they are designed to persuade people to join the military. The paper is in four parts and turns next to literatures around popular geopolitics, military recruitment and comics which will flesh out the provocations set out above and form the basis for an analysis of the BPotS campaign. Secondly, it provides a history of the war comic, an overview of dominant war comics conventions, and a ‘textual’ analysis of the BPotS images. Part three builds upon this analysis and provides a more detailed ‘visual’ analysis of BPotS in relation to comics aesthetics. | HUMAN |
Yet even a broken life, until it be snuffed out entirely, must battle in the world for standing-room. Luckily for Andreas, there was no need for him to question how his own particular battle should be made. The shape in which his little store of worldly wealth was cast obviously determined the lines on which he should seek maintenance. It was plain that by the rearing and the selling of canary-birds he must gain support until the time should come (and he hoped that it would come soon) when he might find release from this earth, where love so soon grows false and cold. | HUMAN |
I first watched this movie on December 5, 1999. It was around 12:40 in the morning, and I was about to go to sleep when I switched to the film. Despite being tired, I was fully awake and engrossed within five minutes. The story of John Merrick is widely known, and it is deeply moving and difficult to witness a man of above-average intelligence confined by his physical condition, enduring both physical and emotional abuse for minimal gain. I found Sir John Gielgud and Sir Anthony Hopkins to be exceptional in their roles. | AI |
I generally have a low sex drive, and do not initiate much due to multiple reason. However, I enjoy the idea of just being swept off my feet in a heat of passion and engaging in sexual acts spontaneously. I believe this is something like responsive desire? Where you don't really initiate sex but when someone else does, you're down? That's kind of where I'm at, and it's hard because Allen doesn't initiate very often (works early, we have different schedules, and knows when I'm really not in the mood). | HUMAN |
A Dunkin' Donuts in Manhattan has been closed by the health department following the discovery of a rat infestation, which was documented in two YouTube videos. The footage showed rats moving around the store, including instances where they came into contact with food items like croissants and bagels. The location, situated at West 37th Street and 8th Avenue, was shut down on Thursday, and all food was removed from the display cases. A worker was seen cleaning the front counter on the same day. | AI |
He aimed to create something far from perfection—a product as straightforward, engaging, and true to its essence as its title suggests. Silberling, known for directing lengthy, intricate, and dramatic films like *City of Angels* and *Moonlight Mile*, demonstrates his dedication and belief in his craft with *10 Items or Less*, a concise 70-minute film. Here, he places an actor (Morgan Freeman) opposite a woman (Paz Vega) in a grocery store, allowing their interactions to unfold naturally, mirroring the rhythms of everyday life. While the premise appears simple, it carries a depth that invites reflection, making it more significant than it might initially seem. | AI |
This journaling activity may appear unnecessary or time-consuming at first, but it’s worth trying for a few weeks before forming a final opinion. Alternatively, you could explore research that challenges the value of reflection. However, numerous studies highlight reflection as a key component of personal growth and self-awareness. Research has shown benefits such as learning from past mistakes, gaining new perspectives, and experiencing greater happiness and satisfaction in life and relationships. Additionally, reflection has been linked to increased mindfulness, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger sense of agency, enabling individuals to feel more in control of their actions rather than feeling powerless in difficult situations. | AI |
Shahrukh Khan's films have consistently performed well at the box office, both in India and internationally, with many achieving blockbuster status. His diverse filmography, ranging from romantic classics like *Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge* to action-packed hits like *Don*, has entertained audiences worldwide and solidified his position as a major box office draw. His recent film, *Pathaan*, set new records, earning over ₹100 crores (US$13 million) on its opening day, making it the fastest Hindi film to reach this milestone. | AI |
Holly Kindsvater is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation at Virginia Tech. She received her undergraduate degree in marine biology from University of California, Santa Cruz, and a Ph.D. from Yale University in ecology and evolutionary biology. Her research group examines basic and applied questions in marine and freshwater systems, from high seas fisheries to Appalachian salamanders. From advancements in understanding the life-history theory, she connects unique fish biology to population models for fishes such as tuna, sharks, rays, and grouper, and estimates rates of population decline and species loss. | HUMAN |
Eej Uul Mountain and the Edren Mountain Range flank the northeast and China borders to the south and west of the Great Gobi A SPA (Fig. 1). Great Gobi A SPA experiences a strongly continental climate with four distinct seasons: spring (March–May), summer (June–August), autumn (September–November), and winter (December–February). The average annual temperature is around 5 °C, but daily means may reach 40 °C in summer and drop to −35 °C in winter. Large parts of the protected area receive less than 50 mm of annual precipitation (interpolation from Hijmans et al. , | HUMAN |
As children, Rob and Jenny shared a close sibling bond. In the fall, Rob would climb the gean-trees at Haystoun Burn to collect wild cherries for Jenny. He also spent hours on the hills searching for craw-croups, a type of wild bilberry, from the high ridges overlooking The Glen valley, bringing them back as gifts for her. In return, Jenny often joined Rob when he climbed pine trees in Torwood to gather young rooks. The two frequently wandered along the riverbank from Cardrona to Kingsmeadows, where they could often be found sitting on the grassy edge of a small peninsula that extended into the water. | AI |
Sweets and bitters are really almost the only tastes proper, almost the only ones discriminated by this central and truly gustatory region of the tongue and palate. Most so-called flavorings will be found on strict examination to be nothing more than mixtures with these of certain smells or else of pungent, salty, or alkaline matters, distinguished as such by the tip of the tongue. For instance, paradoxical as it sounds to say so, cinnamon has really no taste at all, but only a smell. Nobody will ever believe this on first hearing, but nothing on earth is easier than to put it to the test. Take a small piece of cinnamon, hold your nose tightly, rather high up, between the thumb and finger, and begin chewing it. | HUMAN |
His particular business was to obtain as much of Texas as possible, an enterprise that lay close to Jackson's heart; and he began by visiting the province--about whose loyalty and relations with the United States much concern was already felt at Mexico--when on the way to his post. This promise of indiscretion in office was admirably fulfilled. Maintaining a hold on our President by positive assurances of success, he loafed, schemed, made overtures, threatened, was ignored, rebuffed, snubbed and cajoled, fancied he could outplay or buy the astute and hostile Alamán, tried to do "underworking" with Pedraza, plotted bribery with one Hernández, the confessor of Santa Anna's sister, grossly violated his conciliatory instructions by engaging in a truculent personal affair with Tornel, and was finally, after ceasing to represent us, ordered out of the country. In short he succeeded only in proving that we had for minister a cantankerous, incompetent rascal, in making it appear that our government was eager to obtain Mexican territory, and in suggesting--though explicitly and repeatedly ordered to eschew all equivocal methods--that we felt no scruples as to means. | HUMAN |
She will also refer - and some of you have also mentioned this - to the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact. We revised it in 2005 and from then onwards, as I believe I also said here the other day in another debate, the consensus on the implementation of the revised Pact has been total, one hundred percent. Yesterday, again, the Ecofin Council, as on Saturday in the meeting in Paris, unanimously agreed to say that the current Pact, as revised in 2005 - and Parliament also took part in that debate and in that consensus - has sufficient room to manoeuvre to deal with the situations that are beginning to occur and are unfortunately going to continue to occur, such as the increase in public deficits. This can be done within the framework of the established rules, not by putting them aside. | HUMAN |
The studies highlight two primary types of leader behavior: job-centered and organizational member-centered. Job-centered behaviors focus on supervisory tasks, such as planning, scheduling, coordinating work activities, and ensuring resources are available for task completion. Organizational member-centered behaviors emphasize consideration and support for employees. These behavioral dimensions align closely with the concepts of initiating structure and consideration identified in the Ohio State studies. The consistency of these findings across independent research groups further reinforced their validity. | AI |
Johnson developed appendicitis during training and missed graduating with Class SE-45-I on January 29, 1946. Fearing he might be dismissed from the program like many other cadets, he resumed training after a two-week recovery period and a weekend trip to Atlanta, Georgia. Tuskegee instructors informed the commanding general that Johnson would be the program’s last cadet. In October 1946, he graduated from Tuskegee’s Class 46-C Twin Engine Section as the final aviation cadet, earning his wings as a flight officer. | AI |
Violence remained limited on nearby islands, though two deaths occurred during riots on Sanana Island on the same day as the unrest in Ambon. On 3 February, a clash broke out on Ceram following a misunderstanding during a Christian-led peace effort, leaving at least seven injured and damaging several Muslim homes and market stalls. The following day, dozens of houses were burned in a Christian village in Kairatu. On 5 February, Christian residents of Kamariang attacked a Muslim village, leading police to intervene and fatally shoot one youth. | AI |
Mr. Fullarton and his family joined the group, which was limited to the Molyneux’s circle. The chaplain appeared unusually anxious, fussy, and self-important, as though burdened by a significant secret he was both eager and afraid to reveal, disrupting his usual calm demeanor. He quickly seized the chance to request accompanying Miss Tresilyan as her escort, a common practice on such outings where each lady, in addition to the muleteer, was typically attended by at least one unarmed companion. Cecil was somewhat confused by his request and the intensity with which it was made, but she was in too cheerful a mood to refuse anyone at that moment. She also felt a sense of guilt for having recently neglected, if not slighted, her pastor. She agreed graciously, though her subtle glance toward Keene, seeking his understanding, did not go unnoticed by her reverent escort. | AI |
While some intellectuals viewed the USSR as a model for the future, others who witnessed its internal realities grew disillusioned with the Soviet worldview. The Spanish Civil War, as described by figures like George Orwell and Arthur Koestler, eroded the belief among many socialists that Soviet communism represented progress rather than a new form of oppression. This shift was further fueled by former communists such as James Burnham, who maintained a commitment to technocratic governance but abandoned the utopian expectation of an imminent revolutionary transformation. | AI |
The old man’s testimony contains inconsistencies regarding the conveyance of the land. He claims the land was transferred to him in part because he paid half of the consideration, yet his own testimony reveals he paid nothing. Additionally, during his initial examination, he states that the deed was nearly completed when Harrell suggested it be made out to him, but in his cross-examination, he provides a conflicting account, stating that Clark was in the process of writing Hamilton’s name when Harrell intervened. The old man further claims that Clark stopped and made alterations to the deed, yet an examination of the deed itself shows Hamilton Pry’s name appears only once at the beginning, while erasures of pronouns referring to the grantees are present throughout the document. If Clark was indeed stopped while writing Hamilton’s name, as the witness asserts, it is unclear why erasures appear below Hamilton’s name and continue throughout the deed. | AI |
eXistenZ combines director David Cronenberg's traditional love of blood and gore and exploding heads with the more confusing aspects of a reality twisting David Lynch film. And it actually works effectively. I won't bother trying to give even the bare bones of a plot synopsis here because it'll only cause more confusion. All you need to know is that the film is about a virtual reality computer game that is so incredibly lifelike that it becomes difficult to tell the difference between reality and virtual reality. The film almost seems to abandon its technology fearing point at the end, but then it throws in the final twist in the very last line of dialogue. | HUMAN |
This system sorts peas using computer vision to inspect each individual pea. Any pea that does not meet the standard of perfection is removed by an air jet. The process operates at high speed, with a wide conveyor belt moving hundreds of peas per second through the machine. The sorted peas are separated into two streams: acceptable peas on one conveyor and rejects on another. This single machine performs work that would otherwise require the effort of thousands of manual sorters. | AI |
The rise of a core-focused food regime, particularly for fresh fruits and vegetables, has been accompanied by a growing emphasis on sustainability in agriculture. The Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) defines sustainable agriculture as the efficient production of safe, high-quality agricultural products while protecting and enhancing the natural environment, improving the social and economic conditions of farmers and local communities, and ensuring the welfare of farmed species. This approach centers on organic farming and is structured around three key pillars: society, economy, and environment, as outlined by SAI's principles and practices for sustainable agriculture. | AI |
Mr President, ladies, gentlemen, and visitors, in the EU's 15 Member States, we tolerate 40 000 deaths on the roads every year. This situation amounts to a war on Europe's roads, and it cannot be allowed to continue like this. Over recent months, a series of accidents involving buses has occurred, in which people have died or been severely injured. I believe this to be an issue with which we should concern ourselves more and more. Buses and coaches - for which I, as a Green, have a particular fondness - are among the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling, but they must become even safer than they have been to date. | HUMAN |
This needs to be established before the program can be recommended. As e-therapy is here to stay, and this mode of treatment delivery has many advantages over face-to-face therapy (Fairburn & Patel, 2014), it needs more research attention. In our view, the current e-therapy treatment programs need re-thinking as at present they are basic in form and content. They make little use of two of the major strengths of the Internet, the ability to personalise interventions and make them interactive. Indeed, the existing interventions differ little from written self-help programmes. | HUMAN |
The defendant contends that the evidence did not warrant the finding of the trial judge with respect to the plaintiff’s condition of disability. The summary of the medical testimony in the report occupies more than twenty-five pages. No useful purpose would be served by reviewing it in detail or discussing its contradictions. It is enough to say that there was medical testimony to the effect that the plaintiff’s heart and nervous condition was serious, that working was likely to increase his trouble, that while he would be able to do some work, the amount of which could not be definitely stated by a physician, he ought not to work, that any work light or heavy requiring attention or exertion would eventually impair his health, and that if he worked continuously he would impair his health and shorten his fife. | HUMAN |
That is what worries me; that the end result will be that the small and medium-sized enterprises in the sales sector will be the first to go, eaten up by the large companies and resulting in more concentration even more quickly than is presently the case. That may cause prices to rise again at a later date, due to a lack of competition. That is why we have not suggested doing away with the whole idea. What we are saying is, let us include it in the regulation but postpone it. Then we really can look at it again in the light of specific events and decide whether or not to stick with it. | HUMAN |
UMBC Stadium, located on the campus of UMBC in Catonsville, Maryland, is a 4,500-seat facility that opened in 1976. It serves as the home venue for the UMBC Retrievers’ men’s and women’s lacrosse, field hockey, and track and field teams, and is also used as an alternate site for soccer. The stadium has hosted Northeast Conference track and field championships, America East Conference lacrosse tournaments, and tryouts for US Lacrosse’s Under-19 World Lacrosse Championships team. | AI |
Moving on, I would like to draw the attention of the President and of Parliament to the events in Italy, where our fellow Member, Emma Bonino, together with other Members of the European Parliament, is on a thirst and hunger strike to secure the right to media coverage during the electoral campaign. Alongside Emma Bonino are handicapped people such as Luca Coscioni as well, who is abstaining from painkillers in order to capture the attention of the President of the Republic. It would be appropriate for the European Parliament to set up an observatory to monitor the Italian elections, in order to see whether an effective information flow is truly guaranteed to all in a problematic election campaign such as the Italian campaign. | HUMAN |
Every Saturday morning at 11 a.m. I watched Superstars. All the biggest events happened on this show at the time. Challenge, which aired Sunday mornings, was decent too, but all the big stuff happened on this show. Wrestlers would do all their interviews with Mean Gene on a platform next to the live crowd or talk on their own to the screen in front of a background that promoted them. The matches were usually squashes but sometimes you would see 2 mid carders square off in the main event. | HUMAN |
The government also plays a crucial role in a number of peace-promoting initiatives, but is, at the same time, struggling to achieve good relations in Ethiopia, in its interaction with Eritrea, and also within Eritrea. Attempts are being made to build a regional autonomy within the countries, coupled with a certain level of ethnicity, with respect for minorities. This is a painstaking process and is also often accompanied by resistance from certain groups within Ethiopia. We simply have to establish that it is still costing them a great deal of effort in order to build a more powerful, stable democracy. | HUMAN |
Madam President, by endorsing Mr. Lamassoure's report, the European Union has the opportunity to make a significant change. This report proposes moving away from the current system, where the allocation of seats in the European Parliament has been influenced by arbitrary groupings of countries and the negotiating power of their leaders, often assuming conflicting interests among Member States. Supporting this report would establish a new approach based on the principle of proportionality, ensuring that a country's representation in Parliament reflects its population size. | AI |
I now have substantial evidence of her negative behavior, and I feel a strong desire to damage her relationships. I want to prevent her from getting into her preferred college, expose her actions to her teachers, and cause her to lose her friends. While I recognize this isn’t a healthy approach, the idea of doing so feels deeply satisfying. It would be easy to carry out and would provide a sense of personal gratification. Her actions have left me with trust issues toward women and a more cynical outlook overall. | AI |
The material facts regarding the appellant's unimproved lot, as documented in the record, are as follows: The appellant and her late husband acquired the property in question, identified as Lot 15, Block B/2788, Country Club Estates No. 1, in 1923. At the time of purchase, the property was located outside the incorporated limits of the City of Dallas. It has a frontage of 50 feet along the north side of Richmond Avenue and extends 200 feet along the east side of Abrams Road. On September 11, 1929, the City Council of Dallas enacted a comprehensive zoning ordinance that extended to the west side of Abrams Road, which marked the city limits at the time. This ordinance designated certain properties along the west side of Abrams Road for retail use, as these properties had already been utilized for such purposes prior to the ordinance's adoption. | AI |
The situation continues to repeat itself. It appears that those in charge delay action until an emergency arises, allowing them to respond using Italy's emergency legislation, which supersedes all other regulations. When waste accumulates on the streets, including industrial waste from both the north and south, it is often disposed of in unsecured landfills without proper precautions. To the Italian Members, this is not a debate about Italy but about the failure to adhere to and implement European law. | AI |
The foundation of the complex is well-documented thanks to several surviving inscriptions on the building which record the founder, Isa the Artuqid, and the date, 2nd Muharram 787 AH (3 February 1385 AD). The complex contains what appears to be a mausoleum chamber intended for the founder, but Isa was never buried here. The building went through a major restoration sometime during the Ottoman period, when much of the masonry was redone. Between 1932 and 1950s, the southern portico of the main courtyard partially collapsed and some of the decoration at the top of the portal disappeared. These elements, along with the northern gallery of the upper terrace, were restored over the course of the 20th century. | HUMAN |
