I think the greatest benefits come from getting girls excited about STEM careers, but this is a much longer term approach. I'm really dismayed at the peer pressure I see in school that steers boys and girls in different directions, since this is something you have to fight at home and de-program your children. Get your daughters a microscope, telescope, computer, whatever. Use it with her, show her all the cool stuff in the world and talk about how it works. Don't go for "girl-friendly" approaches, since IMO, those are condescending. | HUMAN |
DWR has the option to appeal to FERC if it considers the rate to be unjust or unreasonable. Analysis: Judge Damrell appeared to favor the ISO’s position. He framed the case as addressing a specific issue: whether the defendants are obligated to respond to EDOs without payment assurances during a crisis. His questions and remarks indicated that he views the energy subject to EDOs as minimal but essential to preventing rolling blackouts. During the proceedings, he questioned Mr. Detmer, the ISO’s operations manager, who noted that approximately 5% of peak energy purchases are made through EDOs. | AI |
As can be seen, although the quantitative behavior vary upon the probability distribution of the shortcut connections, the qualitative behavior does not depend very much on the detail. This observation also holds when comparing the results with the Mean Field (MF) results of the Blume-Capel model on a regular lattice (φ →1), although one observes a slight enhancement of the area of the ordered phase when decreasing the value of φ. 4.3.1. Phase Diagram In this section we will study the Newman substrate in further detail. The reason is that we think that while it seems realistic to establish new links between agents, it is not so to destroy existing ones. | HUMAN |
Incorporating wetlands into tile-drained watersheds will have a positive synergistic effect on water quality in agricultural watersheds if they are placed at the outlets of drains [72]. In watersheds dominated by agriculture, wetlands covered by a well-structured plant community are most successful in retaining nutrients. Wetlands with perennials such as cattails (Typha), reeds (Phragmites), and rushes (Juncus) improve water quality by increasing water residence time [73]. Biomass crops, such as cattails, reeds, sugarcane, switchgrass, and prairie cordgrass, provide the type of vegetation structure that is needed to increase wetlands retention abilities [30,71,74]. Wetlands with dense vegetation and flat bottoms support higher rates of denitrification. | HUMAN |
An examination of the evidence presented at the trial discloses that in August of 1947, respondent purchased the Nursery Diaper Service then operating in Long Beach with about 40 customers, the business increasing to 100 customers by October 21, 1947. During this period, appellant was operating the Crib Service as part of its laundry business, covering an extended area with some 4,000 customers of which about 100 were in Long Beach. Robert Gordon, an officer of appellant corporation, managed the Crib Service and in September of 1947, he and Robert Cunningham, owner of the Tidy Didy *257 Baby Laundry of Long Beach, called on respondent to protest with respect to a $1.00 a week diaper service which respondent was then advertising. According to the witness Gordon, respondent told these men that he was just starting, and in order to increase volume and build up his business, he had to cut prices. Thereafter, appellant "embarked on a plan to protect our interest there," which embodied a plan to take respondent's customers away from him. | HUMAN |
The gardens of the former Dutch Company, featuring a wide gravel path nearly half a mile long, are filled with diverse groups of people on Sundays and holidays, who stroll back and forth under the shade of oaks and other trees lining the walkway. Additionally, there is a more exclusive establishment, primarily frequented by the Dutch, located in a well-maintained house where wine and other refreshments are served. This place, known as _Concordia_, includes a large garden reminiscent of tea gardens near London. Despite its name, the venue has occasionally been the site of disruptive behavior, drawing the attention of authorities due to the subversive views expressed by some of its patrons. | AI |
Individuals like McClure, who openly embrace and perpetuate harmful behavior, create a damaging environment for everyone. It is essential to clearly reject such actions without hesitation. If McClure seeks redemption or recognition, he must demonstrate genuine effort to change; a public apology is merely an initial, minor step. Failing to hold him accountable only enables others to act in similarly harmful ways. Regardless of his achievements or contributions to the tech industry, these do not excuse his mistreatment of others, particularly when he knowingly exploited his power to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position. | AI |
The Commonwealth of Australia is a Form 18-K United States SEC registered entity representing the nation of Australia for the purpose of issuing securities in the US market. Form 18-K registrations are used only for foreign government registrations with the SEC and do not create a corporation. Although digitally available filings date back to 2002, attention was brought to it following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the subsequent introduction of the deposit guarantee scheme under the Rudd government. If an institution covered by the scheme were to collapse, the Australian Government would, at its discretion, issue debt securities that would be subject to US laws and financial regulations. As of 2020, Australia has yet to issue any securities related to the deposit guarantee scheme through the entity. | HUMAN |
Various conditions, such as diseases, acute injuries, and other factors, can negatively impact blood flow to and within the limbs, also referred to as peripheral circulation. This reduction in circulation can result from multiple causes, including the use of certain medications like vasoconstrictors, poor perfusion due to shock (such as from low blood volume, septic shock, or cardiogenic shock), physical trauma, external pressure (e.g., from burns), hypothermia, or mechanical abnormalities and injuries. Additionally, disorders like atherosclerosis, Raynaud's disease, Buerger's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and embolic occlusive disease are among the conditions that can specifically lead to decreased peripheral circulation. | AI |
He has a large pedagogical experience. Beyond a large and diverse teaching practice, he has supervised 81 theses (16 PhDs). The PhD programme Patrimónios de Influência Portuguesa (Heritages of Portuguese Influence) that he coordinates at the University of Coimbra since 2010, has been awarded the prize Projetos Inovadores no Domínio Educativo (Education Innovative Projects) granted by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, not only because of its formative component but also due to its purpose to raise up an international think tank on the Portuguese influence heritages subject, that now has a more comprehensive and institutional framework with the UNESCO Chair described above. | HUMAN |
the child’s sexual organs. In support of his argument, he complains of several inconsistencies in Martinez’s testimony. Specifically, he points to the fact that although Martinez felt “weird” about her child being in the bathroom with appellant, she sat on the toilet for three to four minutes before doing anything. He also claims that she testified that appellant pulled the only phone out of the wall, but also testified that she later called friends and the police. Additionally, appellant complains that Martinez’s time-line of events was inconsistent. | HUMAN |
She was not the first untouchable elected to Parliament, contrary to what some reviewers claimed. Members of the so-called "untouchable" community have been elected to the Indian Parliament for decades through reserved constituencies. While Shekhar Kapur is celebrated by many in India for directing commercially successful international films like "Bandit Queen" and "Elizabeth"—the latter earning Oscar nominations—as well as the widely accepted "Mister India," I do not consider him a top-tier director. His work often lacks subtlety, finesse, and charm, leaning heavily into melodrama. His primary strength lies in eliciting above-average performances from his actors, but he falls short in other directorial aspects. | AI |
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker indirectly criticized President Barack Obama during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. Without naming the president, Walker addressed Obama’s reluctance to label extremists in the Middle East as "radical Islamic" terrorists. Speaking to the conservative audience, Walker emphasized the need for a leader who recognizes the threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism to global freedom. He stated that such a leader should proactively confront the threat rather than wait for it to escalate. Walker suggested he could be that leader, citing his experience in facing significant opposition from nearly 100,000 union members during his first term. | AI |
The mansion where it was located also housed the Nicholas Roerich Museum, containing many of the thousands of paintings Roerich had created, and "Corona Mundi", which arranged exhibitions of paintings by Roerich and international artists. The Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City is dedicated to the works of Nicholas Roerich, whose work focused on nature scenes from the Himalayas. The museum is located in a brownstone at 319 West 107th Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The museum was originally located in the Master Apartments at 103rd Street and Riverside Drive, which were built especially for Roerich in 1929. Currently, the museum includes between 100 and 200 of Roerich's works as well as a collection of archival materials. | HUMAN |
InMarch 1958 he talked to Assistant Personnel Director Lloyd George in the personneloffice, who said that they were recalling employees best qualified for their jobs, andthat he was not in that group. In April 1958, he went to see Personnel DirectorSmotherman, who told him also that they were recalling only the best qualified andmost dependable employees.

I think there are a whole load of kids out there that could benefit from a "no speed limit" policy. I think the larger problem is that there aren't enough teachers that can set the pace. I remember, as a kid, reading an article in the paper about how two 10 year old kids had completed a computing A level course (i'm from the UK). I was 11 myself at the time and so much wanted to do that course. My parents looked in many places and couldnt find a way for me to be able to take that course any sooner than what the national curriculum had prescribed. | HUMAN |
During the preoperational stage, children begin to represent objects in various activities, though their thinking remains disorganized and not fully logical. A clear example of this cognitive development is dramatic play, which involves the imaginative and spontaneous make-believe activities of preschool-aged children. Those who have spent time with children of this age have likely observed such behavior, such as when a child holds a plastic banana to their ear and pretends to have a conversation, saying, “Hello, Mom? Can you bring me my baby doll?” | AI |

A few years later, we added a 6502 co-processor connected through the 'tube,' an expansion port on the BBC Micro. This upgrade significantly increased memory and improved processing speed. However, certain optimizations were no longer possible. Directly writing to screen address-space became unavailable because it remained in the host's address-space, while user programs now ran in the co-processor's address-space. Despite this, API calls allowed reading and writing to the host system's memory. Using these, I developed a basic windowing system that stored the graphical content beneath each window in the host memory while running on the co-processor. | AI |
There are some Brits who would tell you that HK developed "thanks to" the UK (I am of the opinion that when a colonised city surpasses even the UK's GDP without being granted any meaningful democratic rights, they succeeded despite your rule, not because of it). This article takes the opposite position but still implies the same thing, that Hong-Kongers were victims with little agency, which I find patronizing when in reality they where a city of refugees who brilliantly navigated a difficult era. Likewise presenting Chan's physical trauma as representative of Hong-Kong's development strikes me as completely off. Lots and lots of people accessed the middle and upper class in the 70s and 80s. Most of them were not stuntmen, it turns out. | HUMAN |
The core idea remains valid: even if we are deterministic beings without free will, we still experience life and should strive to enjoy it. The question of whether we have control over our brains is misguided, stemming from the gap between our subjective experience and our understanding of how the mind functions. We are inseparable from our brains; their actions are our actions. While we can influence our thoughts and behaviors, much like any learning system, we are not external observers of our own minds. | AI |
Several methods of cigarette smoke (CS) exposure have been used to create animal models, including whole-body, head-only, and nose-only exposure, as well as intraoral nicotine self-administration and intraoral or transdermal delivery of tobacco smoke carcinogens. Whole-body exposure, which closely mimics human passive smoking, is the most widely used approach. In contrast, intraoral cigarette smoking in animal models may better replicate human active smoking, as it involves the same route and method of CS intake. However, this intraoral CS exposure model has not been extensively developed or reported in research. | AI |
Over a decade after the fall of the USSR, such missteps and excuses are no longer acceptable. While concerns remain about the European Union's attentiveness toward Central Asian republics in recent years, the EU must now demonstrate clear resolve to advance its principles and values in this region. In the near future, some former Soviet republics will join the Union. Already, the EU represents a significant economic and industrial power in Europe and globally. It should leverage this influence as a political tool to challenge the undemocratic regimes in these third countries, which are actively seeking EU investment. | AI |
I'm not sure about texting, but calling is both synchronous and verbose. These are incredibly relevant criteria for determining whether something is immediate. While email can be verbose, it seldom is, and if anything critical is going on when multiple people are involved, a phone call is still the best way to communicate real-time. If you disagree, see whether you do or do not adjust what you are saying on the phone vs what you would type. I know that I favor fast-to-type sentence structure when emailing, which isn't always the most illuminating/explanatory. | HUMAN |
an adapter body having first, second, and third faces, wherein the first and second faces are angled at a non-zero angle relative to one another, the third face is disposed on the adapter body opposite the second face and is a striking face adapted to allow the adapter to be struck, the first face is configured to removably couple with the handle and includes a pocket formed therein, wherein said pocket includes a pocket face with a pocket face shape corresponding to a neck cross-section shape of the neck of the handle such that the pocket restricts rotational movement of the handle relative to the adaptor. | HUMAN |
This lesser-known album stands out for its distinctive approach, offering a collection of songs described as "World/Folk" in style, performed by singer-songwriter James R. Newell. With roots in blues and Nashville's musical traditions—where he studied at Vanderbilt—Newell has adapted the lyric poetry of the 14th-century Persian Sufi poet Hafiz of Shiraz into American folk music. The result is an eclectic fusion of world and folk melodies, making Hafiz's timeless poetry accessible to modern English-speaking audiences. While the music incorporates elements of country, this aspect should not be overstated. | AI |
The accident happened when two men were driving back to Des Arc after a frog gigging trip. On a cloudy Sunday night, Poole's older-model pickup truck experienced a malfunction. The men determined that the headlight fuse had burned out. Unable to find a replacement fuse, Wallis noticed that a .22 caliber bullet from his pistol fit snugly into the fuse box near the steering column. After inserting the bullet, the headlights started working, and the men continued toward the White River bridge. However, after traveling a few miles and just before reaching the bridge, the bullet overheated, discharged, and struck Poole in the right testicle. The vehicle then veered sharply off the road and crashed into a tree. | AI |
This approach has several advantages in the context of a drug-combination cell line screen. First, dose-effect definitions of synergy (in which combinations of drugs are always compared to individual drug concentrations of equivalent effectiveness) such as Loewe additivity (Greco et al. , 1995) require accurate curve-fitting of the data. When screening cell lines, one must make assumptions about the appropriate dose regimes to be used. Accurate curve fitting is not possible when a fixed dose window does not capture the entire range of response of a particular cell line to a drug or drug combination. | HUMAN |
Pirates from the first film return, seeking both revenge and sustenance. Meanwhile, revolutionaries like Maggie (Maggie Cheung, *In the Mood for Love*) and Rosamund Kwan (*Casino Raiders*) aim to raise funds for Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s efforts to overthrow the Qing government, while government agents hunt them down. The story also involves a mix of corrupt and honest Hong Kong and British police officers, creating a crowded yet surprisingly cohesive narrative. This complexity is particularly effective in a Marx Brothers-inspired scene at Maggie’s hideout, where characters search for one another while simultaneously hiding from others. The sequence, reminiscent of *The Cocoanuts* (1929), required weeks of preparation, and the meticulous effort is evident in its execution. | AI |
Antonioni demonstrated significant boldness in making this film. He went to America under a contract with MGM, one of the most extravagant studios, and produced one of the most critical depictions of American society ever created. Having experienced Los Angeles firsthand, I find this to be the most precise representation of the city's crowded, oppressive, and impersonal nature. The studio's decision to bury the film is understandable given the substantial investment and poor financial returns. It is unfortunate that this film is rarely seen today, as Antonioni's perspective has proven to be remarkably accurate. | AI |
I receive care for my heart condition at the University of Michigan, and a few years ago, the university had to eliminate the administrative role for the Cardiac Research clinic due to budget constraints. The position is expected to be reinstated in a few years when the research budget is restored, and securing that role is my goal. While I don’t aspire to be a doctor, I aim to support the physicians working to treat my condition and other related illnesses. This position could also provide an opportunity to join the executive board of a planned corporation overseeing the production and distribution of therapies developed at the clinic. I have a good relationship with the clinic’s director and many of her staff, and I’ve expressed my interest in the role, as well as my willingness to volunteer in any capacity where help is needed. | AI |
They all desire the gold and also the woman, and she uses her power of seduction to command them. When they get to the place, which is called Garden of Evil, and realize that they might not come out alive, each one makes a choice about higher or lower values. There is an impressive fight between Mitchell and Cooper where Mitchell is repeatedly thrown into the fire. Rita Moreno in a small part where she only has a chance to sing half of two songs, is breathtakingly beautiful. Susan Hayward is excellent, Hathaway was able to bring out the best in her as he did in 'Rawhide'. | HUMAN |
Howard Becker (1963) elaborates on this idea in his theory of labelling and deviance. If someone violates a particular rule it does not mean that they are deviant in other respects. But being labelled “deviant” by authorities (police, parents, teachers, etc.) initiates a chain of consequences for the individual which make it difficult for them to participate in conventional groups and activities (like holding a job or going to school) with the “normals.” The individual is also subject to common popular diagnoses about why they have “gone” that way–e.g. “he is a bad seed,” “she is weak willed,” etc.–which results in furthering the perception that they are an outsider. | HUMAN |
Exercise intolerance and fatigue are difficult to assess clinically and remain an elusive symptom, even in the neuromuscular setting. New methods to quantify these rather common complaints are strongly needed in the clinical practice. Here we showed that more of 20% of mitochondrial patients complain of exercise intolerance. This symptom seems more strongly associated with specific mutations (i.e., A3243G). CK levels were increased in ≈34% of the patients with exercise intolerance, not confirming the notion that CK levels are normal in the great majority of mitochondrial patients [@b0010]. | HUMAN |

An unidentified surfer emerges from the gigantic white waves while spectators cheer him on from the shore. | HUMAN |
The CBD defined the ecosystem approach as “a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way” (CBD, 1995)As early as the 1980s, various international statutes embraced ecosystem-based approaches linked to fisheries and marine ecosystems, including the 1982 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR, 1982). In 1992, the CBD adopted the ecosystem approach and subsequently developed a more detailed set of 12 ecosystem approach principles which were supported by five operational guidelines (SCBD, 2000). | HUMAN |
Donald felt both confused and troubled. If there was any chance Captain Shivernock was involved in the crime, no amount of money—whether sixty or six thousand dollars—could persuade him to stay silent. If the captain were guilty, it seemed unlikely he would have walked three miles for help or strayed so far off course; he would have more likely surrendered. Despite the risks, Donald resolved to investigate the matter thoroughly and fulfill his duty, even if it meant facing danger from the mysterious man. As he considered the situation, Kennedy was occupied with his newspaper, but once Donald made his decision, he interrupted the ship carpenter once more. | AI |
The applicant argues “As the cited art fails to disclose or suggest the claimed composition having a phenol content of less than 100 ppm, the claimed invention is neither anticipated nor rendered obvious by the cited art.” Henze (183) does not describe any phenol, water, acid, or base being present in the compositions thereof which are discussed in the above rejection. They are therefore presumed not to be there just as gold, for example, is presumed not to be in the compositions of Henze (183) discussed above. There is no probative evidence to the contrary. | HUMAN |
Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite shapes and systems are increasingly used in the construction sector, motivated by their successful structural applications in aviation, chemical, offshore oil and gas, rail and marine sectors. Advantages of FRPs over other construction materials in structures, such as footbridges, are their high strengthand stiffness-to-weight ratios, low maintenance costs and quick installations. In the last four decades, hundreds of FRP bridges, typically short (i. e. spans less than 20 m) to medium span (i. e. spans ranging from 20 m to 80 m), have been built around the world [1,2]. A reason for hesitation in constructing longer span bridges can be the excessive vibration that FRP bridges, featured by lightweight and liveliness, might potentially possess under serviceability actions [3,4], causing user discomfort. Vibration serviceability is increasingly seen to govern the design of FRP bridges and is more crucial than in the design of similar structures made of conventional construction materials [5]. | HUMAN |
The post-World War Two media often portrayed the war as primarily a man's endeavor, with women playing only minor roles. However, films like this serve as an important reminder that the war required a collective effort from nearly everyone. Women’s contributions—whether flying planes, caring for the wounded, or handling intelligence—have yet to be fully recognized and honored. This film also highlights how the horrors of war extended beyond the battlefield, affecting the mental and emotional states of those who lived through a world exhausted and fearful of conflict. Additionally, it underscores how many Americans at the time viewed the fall of Bataan and the Philippines as one of the war’s most significant tragedies. | AI |
The previous MEDIA programmes achieved positive outcomes, and the current programme is now pursuing more ambitious objectives, including the full cultural integration of an expanded Europe. In this context, it is important to support the preservation of European film and audiovisual archives, even if some works may not hold lasting historical significance. Nevertheless, every creative work serves as a valuable record of its era, offering future generations insight into the values and preferences of the time. A deeper understanding of the past can also contribute to shaping a more informed and meaningful future. | AI |
World War I spelled the end of an era. The growth of socialist ideology and of the Bolshevik Party turned Russians’ thoughts away from the war and toward revolution, ending both tsarist rule and Russia’s involvement in the war long before the armistice of November 1918. German success early in 1918 was halted by the size of the armies it faced later that year. With the world fighting not only a war but a deadly influenza virus, the last year of conflict saw even more death and set the stage for a rebuilt world to emerge in the aftermath. | HUMAN |
I had read every available book on the subject, from Captain Cook’s *Voyages* to *The Mutiny of the Bounty*. In my imagination, I often envisioned the vivid landscapes: the purple mountains, the glowing green woodlands, and the clear streams. I pictured the rhythmic sound of the surf on the reef, the canoes filled with fruit racing to market at dawn, and the idyllic scenes of people living in harmony with nature. The image was captivating, filled with a sense of beauty and freedom. | AI |
Phillip Kaufman's thoughtful exploration of Anais Nin's connection with Henry and June Miller offers a captivating narrative. The film portrays Anais as she is drawn into a world of indulgence by Henry and June, which becomes a source of inspiration for her erotic writing. The audience experiences Henry and June through Anais's perspective, suggesting a romanticized portrayal rather than a strictly factual one. It is important to note that the film is not a biopic of Henry Miller, a misconception some critics held upon its release. The screenplay occasionally drifts without a strong central plot, but this does not detract from its overall impact. | AI |
A substance that helps a chemical reaction to occur is called a catalyst, and the molecules that catalyze biochemical reactions are called enzymes. Most enzymes are proteins and perform the critical task of lowering the activation energies of chemical reactions inside the cell. Most of the reactions critical to a living cell happen too slowly at normal temperatures to be of any use to the cell. Without enzymes to speed up these reactions, life could not persist. Enzymes do this by binding to the reactant molecules and holding them in such a way as to make the chemical bond-breaking and | HUMAN |
I remember this same discussion years ago on Debian land, when they didn't have a GUI install. Like an email from a random guy stating that if Debian would only fix their install and have a GUI, they would conquer the world. At a certain point, they finally built a GUI install, that was exactly the same questions asked in a GUI that even resembled the TUI. Biggest difference was, you could use your mouse. And eventually have some trouble because the installer wouldn't recognize your video card. | HUMAN |
The overall stability safety factor (K3) of an arch dam represents the capacity of the dam and its foundation to withstand overload as a unified structure under the water thrust and other basic load combinations. Overload is applied solely by increasing the unit weight of the reservoir water, while other loads in the basic combination remain unchanged. This safety factor essentially measures the load multiplier on the water unit weight that causes structural failure in the dam. The primary methods for determining this factor include the 3D nonlinear finite element method (FEM) and geomechanical model testing. Nonlinear FEM is particularly effective as it considers the nonlinear behavior of dam concrete, foundation rock in various regions, and replacement concrete within the foundation. | AI |

Our ability to experience love deeply allows us to invite others into our closest, most meaningful connections, built on kindness, trust, and fulfillment. For some, one person is sufficient to meet these needs, while others may find that their desires are more diverse and complex. Ultimately, it depends on whether our needs are met, and for those open to broader possibilities, a single individual may not always fulfill every aspect of what we seek. | AI |
An advantage of the described method is that, by means of the opening of the valve device, the air that has flowed into the piston space can at least partially flow into at least one dead space during the compression phase of the piston, whereby the compression of the air in the piston space is reduced, and said air can flow back into the compression space again during the intake phase of the piston, whereby thermodynamic work can be recovered. In this way, the compressor is relieved of load, and the energy consumption thereof is reduced. By virtue of the fact that the valve element is formed in one piece with the actuating element, there is no need for an in particular additional actuating element to be installed through an opening of the cylinder head on the valve element. | HUMAN |
In 2016, Slater was cast as SpongeBob SquarePants in Kyle Jarrow's musical of the same name, directed by Tina Landau at Chicago's Oriental Theatre. The production received critical acclaim and moved to Broadway at New York's Palace Theatre, running from 2017 to 2018.

A specific injection molding method includes a method in which the molding material according to the present invention is heated and melted by means of, for example, a heating cylinder, and the molten molding material is charged into a mold and then cooled. A stamper is installed on the inner surface of the mold used to transfer pits, grooves, etc. The form of the substrate is changed according to the standard of the substrate, and the thickness and diameter thereof is generally 0.05 to 10 mm and 30 mm to 300 mm, respectively. | HUMAN |
The British complicated matters in another part of their mandate with the Balfour Declaration. This statement, one of many conflicting promises Britain made to various groups during the war, was issued by British foreign secretary Alfred Balfour in 1917. Balfour wrote that Britain supported a “national home” for Jewish people in Palestine. Ever since the nineteenth century, many European Jews had worked through Zionist organizations to encourage the return of Jews to their ancestral homeland in the Middle East. The Balfour Declaration marked the accomplishment of the goal that pro-Zionist groups had worked toward for years. | HUMAN |
If a child missed the day set for treatment, a home visit was made to enquire why the child had not been brought for treatment and the reason was recorded. If the family wished to continue with treatment but was unable to attend on the specified day, then treatment was reoffered within an interval of 7 d of the designated date. Children with an acute malaria episode were treated with artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and did not receive IPT with SP+AQ if the treatment for acute malaria was received within 7 d of the scheduled date of IPT.

The canal crossing operation took place on November 4, supported by a gradual artillery barrage as infantry and engineers moved forward with bridging equipment. The 14th and 96th Brigades attempted crossings on either side of Ors, with a targeted barrage aiding two platoons of the 5th/6th Battalion Royal Scots at le Donjon. Despite intense resistance, the attacks north of Ors and at le Donjon were unsuccessful, though the 1st Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment managed to cross, allowing the rest of the division to follow using their bridge. A second barrage was prepared to counter opposition, but the final push to the corps objective proceeded without artillery assistance. Early in the battle, German artillery began withdrawing, but a gun-pit of the 32nd TM Brigade near Ors suffered a direct hit, detonating ammunition and resulting in the deaths of two officers and five other ranks. | AI |
It is bold water at the mouth of the bay; you can steer a ship about either sentinel, close enough to toss a biscuit on the rocks. Thus it chanced that, as the tattooed man sat dozing and dreaming, he was startled into wakefulness and animation by the appearance of a flying jib beyond the western islet. Two more headsails followed; and before the tattooed man had scrambled to his feet, a topsail schooner of some hundred tons had luffed about the sentinel, and was standing up the bay, close-hauled. | HUMAN |
To build mental bridges over the depths of your mind, between two fertile fields that _will_ connect beyond their original bounds, you need to align your well-oriented sight on each of their respective sources through what makes one thing similar to another, the bridge that makes understanding commute, then you can connect them using the same type of duct (one inlet connection type, one channel path's flow, and one outflow connection type). Set up the scene, and you can fit each piece into its jagged or smooth placement. Turn, twist, flip, shake, etc, as needed. | HUMAN |
Heyward still has a hole in his swing that has yet to resolve. While he was in the minor leagues, his unorthodox swing was not regarded as a significant issue, but rather was perceived to have worked for him because of his enormous talent. On the contrary, one scout compared it to an awkward golf swing. " You watch him, he really stiff-arms the bat out there," noting Heyward almost fully extends his arms to attempt to power the head of the bat through the strike zone. He does not protect the inside of part of the strike zone as well as the outside. | HUMAN |
Under a heavy sky and a chilly wind we steamed through divers waterways, touched at divers islands, and shipped and unshipped many cattle. At last, when it had turned afternoon and the wind was beginning to feel wet as well as chilly, Thomas Sylvester stepped ashore on the modest pier at Ransay. Already he had noted from the deck his prospective host, pipe in mouth and hands in his knickerbocker pockets among a small knot of inhabitants, but to his relief there were no other familiar faces. | HUMAN |
If our young men miscarry in their first enterprises, they lose all heart. If the young merchant fails, men say he is ruined. If the finest genius studies at one of our colleges, and is not installed in an office within one year afterwards in the cities or [105]suburbs of Boston or New York, it seems to his friends and to himself that he is right in being disheartened, and in complaining the rest of his life. A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont, who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, 81 peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always, like a cat, falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days, and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already. | HUMAN |
This becomes crucial when considering the way animals, both wild and domestic, navigate environments designed by humans, and therefore from a human visual perspective. One such example is in animal sports, where the sport and associated traditions commonly pre-date a broad knowledge and understanding of animal vision (DeMello, 2012). Consequently, due to differences between human vision and that of animals used in competitions, important features of the sporting, training, and housing environments may not be well-designed for visibility to the focal animal itself. Recent advances in the animal visual sciences mean that we now have the opportunity to re-assess these environments using approaches designed to quantify and predict how animals see and respond to visual information (Kelber et al. , 2003a; Kelber and Osorio, 2010; Gawryszewski, 2018). | HUMAN |
I welcome this, and the Austrian presidency, on the basis of these proposals, will try to ensure that this really is uncontroversial. The decisions taken at the Luxembourg European Council have laid the ground for the enlargement process, an inclusive process with 11 candidates. The British presidency was very much marked by the formal opening of this process. We Austrians now believe that it is up to us to maintain the political momentum, and my Minister of State, Mrs Benita Ferrero-Waldner, and I - you could say that it was our innovation - also included the applicant countries in our tour des capitales . We included all 11 of them, because we wanted to send an important signal to these countries from the outset, the message that they now belong to the European family and that we will treat them and keep them informed on equal terms and as partners. | HUMAN |
In 1989, Mark Paigen, a white water rafting and fly fishing guide, aimed to design an outdoor sandal that would keep his feet dry and prevent wrinkling after long days. He sought to create a supportive sandal and developed a prototype featuring a continuous pull-through strap made of synthetic material with a buckle instead of Velcro. The first pair was sold to a client on a 3-day rafting trip; Paigen traced the client’s feet on paper and crafted a custom pair for $30. | AI |
He has extensive teaching experience, including a diverse range of instructional roles and the supervision of 81 theses, 16 of which were PhDs. Since 2010, he has coordinated the PhD programme Patrimónios de Influência Portuguesa (Heritages of Portuguese Influence) at the University of Coimbra. This programme received the Projetos Inovadores no Domínio Educativo (Innovative Projects in Education) award from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, recognized for its educational approach and its aim to establish an international think tank focused on the study of Portuguese influence heritages. This initiative has gained further institutional support through the UNESCO Chair mentioned earlier. | AI |
In August 1994, the finance ministry informed the power ministry that the potential annual liability for a 1,000 megawatt plant could amount to approximately Rs 3,000 crore. The department of economic affairs had also cautioned that the risk of counter-guarantees being invoked was significant, as state electricity boards had a history of payment defaults. Despite these warnings, the concerns were disregarded at the time. Now, the minimum step India should take is to seek renegotiation. However, it remains uncertain whether the Indian government has the resolve to confront Enron firmly without yielding. | AI |
My daughters asked for this brush repeatedly, so I eventually decided to buy it, as brushing their hair had always been a painful process. When it arrived, they were excited and claimed it hurt less than other brushes. However, I soon realized the reason it didn’t hurt as much was because it wasn’t effectively removing tangles. After using it for a few days, small tangles remained and eventually turned into larger knots that took significant time to detangle. The bristles are too short, bend easily, and the brush eventually fell apart. I had to reassemble it, which involved cutting several bent bristles that wouldn’t fit back into place. | AI |
He and his house party were conveyed to the place of meeting in quasi-royal carriages, preceded and followed by outriders, and for a series of nights he provided the inhabitants of the town with balls, concerts, or entertainments of other kinds. No host could have been more gracious than he. On the last night of my visit there was a gathering practically private. The heroine of this was old Lady Llanover, who, though not a native of Wales, was an enthusiast for all things Welsh. She had brought with her in her train a bevy of her own female domestics, who wore steeple-crowned hats, and also an old butler dressed up like a bard. | HUMAN |
Classification criteria for TA have been established to categorize patients for research purposes, with the most widely adopted system being the one proposed by Numano in 1996, which relies on imaging findings. In this patient’s case, the CTA results indicating involvement of the abdominal aorta and renal artery align with a type IV classification. Imaging studies are central to TA diagnosis, with angiography historically regarded as the gold standard. However, it is now used more as a supplementary tool alongside MRA or CTA rather than as the primary diagnostic method. MRA is favored for early diagnosis and long-term monitoring due to its sensitivity to vascular wall changes, though it is less effective in detecting alterations in distant arterial branches. CTA, on the other hand, is more effective in identifying early arterial lesions and assessing disease activity compared to serologic tests, making it particularly useful for diagnosing TA in its middle or progressive stages. | AI |

Born in 1976, he joined Proodeftiki in the 1998/99 season. Despite the club’s relegation the following year, he stayed at the Korrydallos stadium and played a key role in their return to the Alpha Ethniki two seasons later. In December 2002, he scored his first top-flight goal for Proodeftiki against AEK Athens FC. After a consistent 2002/03 season, he announced in April that he would leave the club at the end of the campaign, having agreed to join Olympiacos FC alongside teammates Thymios Koulouheris and Alekos Tatsis. | AI |
After years of research, engineers at Stanford University in California have developed a method to maintain the size of batteries while significantly extending their lifespan. They achieved this by constructing the battery's anode entirely from lithium, a material long sought after for its potential to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize size. To address the issue of lithium anodes cracking during expansion, the team designed a protective film composed of carbon nanospheres. This film forms a honeycomb-like structure, creating a flexible, uniform, and non-reactive barrier that stabilizes the lithium anode. | AI |
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, may I start by saying that this debate is of particular interest to me because I myself live in Abbeville, the town at the heart of the area affected. The floodwaters are abating very slowly, as you have heard and, as I speak, 140 communes are still affected, with nearly 3 500 homes under water. The floods have caused huge damage - estimated at several hundred million euros. Houses are subsiding. Numerous infrastructures have been damaged or destroyed, companies have lost and must replace their means of production, not to mention the damage to the countryside itself. | HUMAN |
There used to appear daily--and it may be appearing daily now, for aught I know, only, speaking on oath, I haven't lately noticed it--a question addressed by Everybody in General, or by Nobody in Particular to Everybody Else, which took this form: "Where shall we dine to-day?" I forget what the answer was, but, as a rule, the domesticated man, with a good cook in his own kitchen, could answer it offhand by saying to himself, "'_Where_ shall we dine to-day?' Why, at home, of course--where better?--and catch me moving out afterwards." But, if he were contemplating the unpleasant certainty of having post-prandially to leave his hearth and home in order to visit some theatre, opera, or concert, then it might occur to him that he could do the thing well, and give his party a novel treat, if, in French fashion, he took them somewhere to dine, previous to doing their play. | HUMAN |
Donald was perplexed and disturbed. If there was any probability that Captain Shivernock had committed the crime, our hero was not to be bribed by sixty or six thousand dollars to keep the secret. If guilty, he would have been more likely to go below and turn in than to walk three miles on the island for assistance, and he would not have gone three miles off his course. But Donald determined to inquire into the matter, and do his whole duty, even if the strange man killed him for it. Kennedy was reading his paper while the young man was thinking over the case; but, having decided what to do, he interrupted the ship carpenter again. | HUMAN |
The challenge of interpreting the Old Testament in light of the New lies in uncovering enduring truths within transient forms and discerning the spiritual essence within symbolic structures. This work stems from a conviction that a meaningful connection between the two Testaments exists, coupled with a deliberate effort to draw insight from Scripture rather than imposing preconceived ideas upon it. It is also grounded in the belief that approaching sacred texts with reason, rather than relying on imagination or speculative interpretations, aligns with the reverence due to the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge, rather than indulging in fanciful or contrived notions. | AI |
Comments should be made publicly available whenever possible. Responses to these comments should be provided, either individually or by grouping them into key issues for collective consideration. This process may lead to revisions in the EIA documentation or the introduction of additional measures by the authorities. If certain comments are not addressed, a clear justification should be provided. These responses are typically included as an annex to the EIA documentation. It is essential to establish a structured procedure for handling multiple comments from independent experts, direct stakeholders, and the general public. This ensures their full integration into the decision-making process, promoting meaningful public consultation and informed outcomes. | AI |
Of course, this requires work from the author beyond merely creating something, and it mostly works in the small scale, and he/she will probably not get insanely rich this way. But I doubt -- philosophically speaking -- that there is any inherent right to sell something in the large scale, without direct author-audience interaction, and expect police-state measures to work. I reject the assumption that everyone in the audience is a passive consumer and a thief who must be watched for their own good, and that there is no other way to handle the situation. | HUMAN |
Whenever I see most reviews it's called 'a misfire for Eddie Murphy'. These critics want to take a look at some of the stuff he's doing these days, and maybe soften their stance in retrospect... "The Golden Child" is not highbrow entertainment, but thanks to some of the cast it breaths new life into old clichés, and gives Murphy one of his best roles. I don't understand the pervading lack of 'love' for its efforts, at all. Perhaps it was released at a time when the establishment had grown weary of knockabout, thrill-a-minute adventures? Steven Spielberg started it with Indiana Jones; it's unfair to make this one a scapegoat when what is possibly its biggest sin is also utterly harmless. | HUMAN |
Computer languages are generally quite similar, with grammars that are significantly simpler than those of human languages. This simplicity is necessary because they must be mapped to instructions executable by a Turing Machine. In contrast, learning a human language requires a substantial investment of time and effort, even to achieve a basic conversational level. Achieving professional proficiency, particularly in reading and writing, would demand even greater effort and dedication. | AI |
The Ecclesiarchy would likely declare him a heretic and a witch, while the High Lords would designate him as a top threat. However, this would not deter him.

Only the most resolute assassins, conditioned to believe his words are deceitful and his radiant presence is a facade orchestrated by a Chaos god, would attempt to oppose him. | AI |
In a different context Zhelyazkov, Murawski, and Goossens (1996) considered the propagation of magneto-acoustic surface waves with both non-parallel propagation and a sheared magnetic field. Similar studies of surface waves can be found in Roberts (1981a) and Miles and Roberts (1989). By surface wave we mean a wave with an evanescent tail that propagates on a sharp (discontinuous) interface, although they can also propagate on a smoothly varying interface (see Lee and Roberts, 1986; Hollweg, 1990a, b, 1991; Goossens, 1991, for example). Surface waves are expected to occur in the solar atmosphere at places where physical parameters change abruptly. Their propagation is directional and guided by the interface and their energy is confined to within roughly a wavelength of the surface. | HUMAN |
The states ρΨ(+) and ρΦ(+) consist exclusively of even photon numbers, while ρΨ(−) and ρΦ(−) contain only odd photon numbers. This allows all four Bell states to be distinguished by analyzing the photon counts at detectors A and B. For instance, if detector A registers a high photon count and detector B a low count, with the total being even, the state ρΦ(+) is identified as the result of the thermal-Bell measurement. The failure probability can be reduced to negligible levels by increasing the parameter d. However, when V ≫ 1 and d ≫ 1, the average photon numbers in the thermal-Bell states become very high, making photon number-resolving detectors impractical. This raises the question of whether these four thermal-Bell states can be discriminated using classical measurement techniques, such as homodyne detection, rather than relying on photon number-resolving methods. | AI |
After the gate operation, fluxons exiting the gate approach superconducting loops to the right. These loops store currents with a direction indicating the output fluxon polarity. Simulations (not shown) have been performed on this structure and simpler environments, and indicate that the gates are enabled by balanced signals on the LJJs in the gates. Here the balanced LJJ fluxon signal carries a pulse of voltages and current of equal magnitude and opposite sign along the two terminals of each JJ. This subtle yet important point also distinguishes our logic from established SFQ logic. | HUMAN |
We are not seeking a single political concession. Those who voted for me are independent Members from various groups, both large and small, who feel their concerns have not been fully addressed. This is a mixed coalition without any political agenda, but these individuals have a need to engage with the two final candidates, Mr. Martin and Mr. Cox.

If this does not happen, I will have no choice but to maintain my candidacy, though that is not my preference. | AI |
The appellant’s claim that the court did not consider the statutory factors is unsupported by the record. The sentencing entry explicitly states that the trial court reviewed all required legal factors. Before imposing the maximum prison terms for the weapon charges, the court examined the case’s facts, heard statements from the appellant and his counsel, and reviewed the Pre-Sentence Investigation Report, which detailed the appellant’s criminal history, risk of reoffending, and the severity of the offense. The appellant’s four prior convictions and his probation status at the time of the offense further supported the court’s assessment of his likelihood of recidivism. The appellant and his counsel argued that the gun was carried solely for protection, addressing the issue of the offense’s seriousness. | AI |
1809.--Richard Gough, the eminent topographer and antiquary, died 20th February; he had bequeathed to the Bodleian all his topographical collections, together with all his books relating to Saxon and Northern literature. The following is from his will:--"Also I give and bequeath to the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars, of the University of Oxford, my printed Books and Manuscripts on Saxon and Northern Literature, mentioned in a Catalogue of the same, for the Use of the Saxon professor in the said University when he shall have occasion to consult them, with liberty to take them to his Apartments on condition of faithfully returning them." | HUMAN |
The stages at which a nation arrives year by year, can be estimated by its building. In the new order, little is being built. Apart from certain perfunctory garden-cities, which are being erected for the principle of the thing, to meet the needs of a few thousand favoured households, and which perhaps will never be finished, we will for decades have to content ourselves with new subdivisions and exploitation of the old buildings; old palaces packed to the roof with families, will stand in the midst of vegetable gardens and will alternate with empty warehouses in the midst of decayed cities. In the streets of the suburbs the avenues of trees will be felled, and in the cities grass will grow through the cracks of the pavement. | HUMAN |
He consistently attempts to undermine me and take my belongings. I’ve addressed the issue directly, but each person involved dismisses it and shifts blame onto others.

Password crackers have achieved significant success by systematically exploring the possibility space and using brute force methods. This is because each common transformation people use adds only a small amount of uncertainty relative to the overall password-cracking challenge. This issue was acknowledged even during the development of Alec Muffet's Crack program, which allowed users to apply custom transformation rules to expand password-guessing dictionaries. Since then, attackers' techniques and databases have grown more sophisticated. The topic is also addressed in the context of Diceware, as highlighted in the xkcd comic. | AI |
In this sense, preferred notation system is a stronger sign of artificiality than, e.g., prime numbers, which are often mentioned in the context of SETI simply because no natural process capable of generating such numbers is known, not because they are a code of culture. The most straightforward way to demonstrate zero-based positional system with a preferred radix to another observer is to produce quantities which have homogeneous notation (i.e. composed of identical digits, such as 555) in that particular system; in a system with any other radix notation of the same quantities will not be homogeneous (symbols used to denote digits are, of course, arbitrary, but homogeneous notation is unique in that it repeats one and the same symbol, whichever it is). This is exactly what is observed with the attributes in the genetic code. Precise equalities of nucleon sums (see Video 2) are there regardless of what numeral system is used; however, if these sums are written down with one and the same system – the decimal one – they systematically display homogeneous notation in three-digit register. The reason why this system happens to be exactly base10 might be quite unpretentious. | HUMAN |
Chopin's growth and development can be observed in relation to various musical schools, though he was not strongly influenced by any single one or guided by the prominent figures of his time. He briefly favored Hummel, using him as a model, particularly in his approach to passage work. This influence is most evident in the structure of Chopin's compositions, though his ideas remained distinctly his own. Hummel's impact is especially noticeable in Chopin's rondos, but works like the "Don Juan" variations and the fantasia on Polish airs reveal a boldness, originality, and independence that quickly established him as a significant composer. His music, marked by emotional depth, youthful energy, and a blend of optimism and melancholy, demonstrates the enduring vitality of his creative spirit. | AI |
Abstention in this adversary proceeding is appropriate for several reasons. First, the matter is non-core and solely involves issues of state law, as established in *Flores Rivera v. Telemundo Group*, 133 B.R. 674, 677 (D.Puerto Rico, 1991), which highlights that non-core proceedings and the presence of state law issues support abstention. Second, the interests of justice and comity further favor abstention, as all claims in this adversary proceeding could have been raised as counterclaims in the Defendant’s state court case, which was filed approximately one year prior to this proceeding. | AI |
I have been informed by civil society organisations there that pre-emptive measures have been taken by the law enforcement agencies. Attempts have been made to question people who could communicate with the EU representatives, and this is completely unacceptable. Even people who work on children's rights have been warned not to go to Nizhny Novgorod. The credit cards of the main local organiser of the civil society event - which is, by the way, the first ever linked to an EU-Russia Summit - have been blocked (for technical reasons, of course), and her car licence plates have mysteriously disappeared. | HUMAN |
Excessive focus on low-level cloud service applications can lead to issues such as 'formalism' and a disconnect between business and information systems, resulting in resource waste and poor-quality public services. Conversely, prioritizing assimilation depth may enable advanced applications like data analysis and decision support in specific governance areas, but it risks delaying the development of other e-government systems. This imbalance creates uneven levels of informatization across different business processes and departments, hindering overall efficiency and the value of the e-government cloud. As a result, overemphasizing either dimension of assimilation often leads to neglect in the other, creating risks and challenges for agencies aiming to achieve comprehensive strategic public value (Cao et al., 2009). | AI |
Bale understands the responsibility now falls on him, and he is widely regarded as Wales’ most important player. While he did not score in the last two qualifiers against Bosnia and Cyprus, which earned Wales four points and placed them at the top of Group B, he delivered strong performances in the absence of Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen. His value is recognized not only by his Welsh teammates but also by his former colleagues at Tottenham, whom he left behind when he moved to Real Madrid for a world-record fee of £86 million. Nacer Chadli, who is expected to play alongside Hazard for Belgium, has been performing well for Spurs this season, scoring six Premier League goals, though the team has struggled and currently sits 12th in the table. Meanwhile, Premier League stars Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, and Marouane Fellaini were seen training on Saturday. | AI |
Last night, after he fell asleep, I went through his phone. I checked his Facebook messages and texts, focusing on the conversation with Stacy. I read more of their exchange than I had before. In one message, he told her he couldn’t be with someone so codependent or unable to support themselves financially. He made it seem like he had contributed significantly, even mentioning helping with my parents’ mortgage and yardwork—though he only did yardwork a handful of times and planted a few tomato plants, which I neglected and are now dying. He also mentioned taking out the trash, replying to messages, and cleaning up after 11 tenants who eat his food. | AI |
CD8^+^T cells are one of the most important cell types in COPD. Considering the lack of knowledge concerning the role these cells are truly playing in this disease, it is important to fully understand the phenotype of the CD8^+^T cells which have migrated to the lungs of these patients. We have clearly shown the distinction between the CD8^+^T cells expressed in the peripheral blood and those found in the lung in terms of TLR4 and TLR9 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated for the first time that CSC is responsible for the upregulation of these receptors on lung CD8^+^T cells and the resulting cytokine expression. This increased cytokine expression can cause the recruitment of other inflammatory cells to the lung, further perpetuating the damage and inflammation observed in COPD patients. | HUMAN |
Learning new tools on Linux is straightforward, whether by consulting the manual pages, searching online, or, if necessary, examining the source code. For instance, I recently learned the basics of rsync to accomplish a specific task, and I expect my understanding to grow as I encounter new use cases. The value lies in the flexibility these tools provide, allowing me to customize my system to meet my needs without being constrained by prebuilt solutions designed for narrow purposes. | AI |
