HOFFMANN’S CONJECTURE FOR TOTALLY SINGULAR FORMS OF PRIME DEGREE 5 (Proposition 6.4). Given this result, it is natural to seek a precise description of the general discrepancy between the Knebusch and full splitting patterns in the totally singular case. A key challenge lies in determining all non-trivial restrictions that the former invariant imposes on the latter. In §8, we begin addressing this by conjecturing that the gaps in the full splitting pattern, established in characteristic ̸= 2 by Vishik as a consequence of his Excellent Connections theorem (see [Vis11, Prop. 2.6] or Theorem 8.1 below), also appear in the totally singular theory. | AI |
If you're bright and independent-minded, the opportunity cost of that 4 years of college is huge. I did very little related to computers in those 4 years - I did get my degree in CS, and I worked on a large volunteer website, and I did a couple projects for my school, but I spent most of my time there as a physics major or trying out various liberal-arts classes. I graduated when I was 24. I have a friend that's 23, and he's currently maintaining 2 open source projects, formerly on another one (LiveJournal), has a good job in a specialized niche, previously had been a startup cofounder that went bust really quick, and has done webmonkey consulting for dozens of different organizations. | HUMAN |
Mazed establishes that LEDs, continuous wave lasers, and pulsed lasers are functionally equivalent radiation sources that can be used interchangeably in such devices. It would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art, prior to the effective filing date of the claimed invention, to modify the hair care device described by Washington et al. by replacing the radiation source with a pulsed laser or continuous wave laser. This is because Mazed demonstrates that the use of such lasers in hair care devices is well-known and common practice in the field, and it further confirms that LEDs, continuous wave lasers, and pulsed lasers are recognized in the art as functional equivalents that can be substituted for one another. | AI |
I first wrote a review of this film here on IMDb back in June 2000. At the time I was totally in awe of the film, the script, the acting, the cinematography, the musical score and above all the direction from Tekashi "Beat" Kitano. Some 18 months on and I still love the film and is certainly one of my top five international films. I have seen Kitano's latter films, Hana-bi, Brother, Tokyo Eyes & Gonin, and even though production values have improved, especially with Brother and Hana-Bi, I personally feel that Sonatine still remains Beat's best film to date. In retrospect one can see within the film a vision of Beat's state of mind at the time. | HUMAN |
It would make sense to include classical statistics packages, as they belong in this context. However, having programmed since childhood, I often avoided these tools due to my belief that they were slow and restrictive. My experience suggested that once I developed a method in Matlab or SPSS, I would inevitably rewrite it in C, C++, or Java to integrate it with other systems or scale it effectively. This perspective was reinforced during my first job, where we built models in SAS but had to reimplement them in Java because SAS couldn’t handle the required performance demands. | AI |
P.S. I say all of this as someone who has recently converted to iOS from Android after many years of loving Google Nexus devices, and wanted to see what the integrated design of the iPhone 6s Plus was like. I absolutely don't support ANY of the major technology companies as people who won't do the wrong thing so that they can make more money. They're all self-interested actors! We should never forget that. They can be just as evil as big oil or the textile industry. | HUMAN |
In fact, it was so bad that he had to be treated by a general practioner who prescribed antibiotics to him from to heal the inside that the pus would dry up and cream to clear up his face on the outside. After that year, he began treating himself and began using Avon's Sun Proctection Lotion SPF40 and has not had another episode like that since. He treats his face with creams and things but the lotion protects him from whatever his allergies are to the sun's rays. Thank you, Avon. You have two die-hard believers who not only love our Avon rep, Shalonda King but also the Avon Sun General Protection Sunscreen Lotion SPF40. | HUMAN |
Madam President, Mr Chastel, Commissioner, I would like to start with some advice for the President-in-Office of the Council. I do not believe it is very politically advisable to rely so much on the conciliation procedure in October and November when you are starting from a position such as the one that you are putting forward in this House, which is so different. There is honestly going to be very little room for agreement with a position as different as the one that you have just set out. | HUMAN |
Refractive correction surgeries like LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) are commonly used to address refractive errors by altering the shape of the cornea, such as its curvature or distortion, to modify its refractive power. During the LASIK procedure, a thin layer of the cornea is first removed using a specialized instrument. The cornea is then reshaped by applying an excimer laser to its surface. Once the reshaping is complete, the removed corneal layer is repositioned, resulting in a corrected corneal shape that improves refractive accuracy. | AI |
As to the minimum definition, everyone agrees on it. 100 litres of settled must for every 150 kilos of grapes, the pressing of whole grapes, a maximum sulphur dioxide content of 150 mg, a sugar content of less than 50 g per litre, everyone agrees on these, although it should be specified that secondary fermentation in bottle is necessary and also - something which I regret to see has not been made clear - that the wine must be left on its lees for at least 9 months. And we all agree with the concept, the idea that crémant must be associated with a specific region to prevent the global insanity of the European Commission endlessly extending the production areas. | HUMAN |

Juliette Binoche is an actress known for delivering profound and emotionally resonant performances in some of the most acclaimed films of recent decades. Her collaborations with directors like Kieslowski, Carax, Téchiné, Leconte, Haneke, and Boorman have established her as a modern cinematic icon, often compared to Garbo for her enigmatic and melancholic presence. It was unexpected, then, to see her in a French romantic comedy alongside Jean Reno. While *Décalage Horaire* (or *Jet Lag*) doesn’t rank among her most significant works or stand as a landmark in cinema, it is a well-crafted and enjoyable piece of light entertainment. Binoche, playing against type as a brash and flirtatious beautician, delivers a charming and surprisingly effective performance. | AI |
Psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley conducted extensive research on early language development in children across different income levels. In a longitudinal study, they observed that while all parents in the study interacted with their children, middle- and high-income parents engaged with them in distinct ways compared to low-income parents. After reviewing 1,300 hours of parent-child interactions, the researchers noted that middle- and high-income parents communicated significantly more with their children, starting from infancy. By age three, children from high-income families knew nearly twice as many words as those from low-income families and had been exposed to an estimated 30 million more words. These disparities continued to widen, with high-income children scoring 60% higher on achievement tests than their low-income peers before entering kindergarten. | AI |
State officials have not yet resolved the approximately $14 billion debt burdening Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and Southern California Edison. The recent rate increase does not address this complex issue. Additionally, while the PUC has ruled that the utilities must reimburse the state Department of Water Resources for over $4 billion in recent power purchases, the implementation of this decision remains uncertain. Another unresolved matter is how the limited funds collected from ratepayers will be allocated among the state, the utilities, and smaller power companies that have recently shut down due to millions of dollars in unpaid debts. "The state is at the front of the line," stated Steve Maviglio, a spokesperson for the governor. | AI |
Johnson remains undefeated in his 36 fights, including his bout against Vitali Klitschko (right). Even England's Dereck Chisora (right) failed to halt the remarkably resilient American. The path now leads to an inevitable clash with Fury and other top domestic contenders, signaling an exciting period for British boxing. I attended the main event at the ExCel over the weekend, and Fury-Chisora turned out to be one of the most lackluster heavyweight fights I've witnessed. Starting well past midnight, with many attendees missing their transportation home, the crowd began to boo and disperse after just a few rounds. | AI |
The United States' involvement in the Vietnam War during the 1960s deepened divisions within the Democratic Party's coalition. Following the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964, President Johnson deployed a significant number of combat troops to Vietnam. However, the escalation did not achieve its goals, leading to a prolonged and increasingly unpopular conflict. By 1968, anti-war protests had grown widespread, fueled by rising casualties and graphic media coverage of the war. This alienated many young voters who had previously supported the Democrats. That same year, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, combined with the chaotic Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Vice President Hubert Humphrey was nominated amid protests and unrest, marked a pivotal moment in the decline of the Democratic Party's once-broad coalition. | AI |
In 1915, British conductor Henry Wood created his own orchestration of the work. He recorded portions of this arrangement on acoustic Columbia 78rpm discs in 1920. However, upon the publication of Maurice Ravel's orchestration, Wood withdrew his version and prohibited public performances of it during the 1930s out of respect for Ravel's work. Wood's arrangement was later recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Braithwaite, and released on the Lyrita label. This recording omitted all but the first Promenade movement and included significant re-compositions of other sections. | AI |
Definition (iii) characterizes emerging risk as increasing risk, which can be interpreted by defining the condition p≥p0 as an event, where p represents a frequentist probability or a Bayesian chance (understood as the limit of a frequency of exchangeable random events) and p0 is a threshold value that p has not previously exceeded. This aligns with the concept of a new event. However, defining "new" as something never before experienced anywhere would be overly restrictive. For instance, a disease outbreak in one region could still be considered an emerging risk even if similar outbreaks have occurred elsewhere. This highlights the relativity of the term "new," as suggested in definitions (v) and (viii), which provides a more balanced and reasonable criterion for identifying emerging risks. | AI |
But I've heard that it is something of a critical success. It is also very darkly funny. My wife doesn't like this film, she hates the main character and she finds his actions to be at times, stupid and irrational. She may have a point, but she's not appreciating the film from an angle of sheer desperation, which causes people to act in such a manner, which is what I feel the film is all about. That and that blondes are essentially trouble, no offence to my dear siblings. | HUMAN |
But halfway through they abruptly shift gears, becoming a bizarre Dredg meets Limp Bizkit bastard child. I don't know why singer Ray Ray insists on rapping, as he certainly isn't lacking in the chops department, but the uptempo white-boy angsty rapping parts distract and are just too much of a departure from the rest of the CD. Unfortunately half the songs have this pitfall, and with nu-metal dead and buried it'll just sound more and more stupid with the passage of time. But the rapping doesn't detract from the general high quality of the rest of the CD. In Lake'ch closes in grand fashion, with "Reborn" showcasing the many facets of the band, from the good (uptempo melodies, spirited choruses, a long, drawn out interlude) to the bad (that damn rapping again). | HUMAN |
I'm pretty sure the Tesla batteries are controlled to never actually go to 100% capacity when charging, and likely have a hard cutoff well before fully discharging as well. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there are other active battery management techniques in place as well. IIRC, one of their options for higher power capacity is actually just a firmware setting on the same battery packs, which would also match up - pay more for higher capacity on the same hardware, with the extra $$ paying for the increased wear and tear on warrantied components. | HUMAN |
Many reviews label "The Golden Child" as a misfire for Eddie Murphy, but critics might reconsider their stance if they compare it to some of his recent work. While the film isn’t highbrow entertainment, its cast injects fresh energy into familiar tropes, and it offers Murphy one of his most memorable roles. The lack of appreciation for its efforts is puzzling, especially since its biggest flaw is relatively harmless. It’s possible the film arrived at a time when audiences and critics had grown tired of fast-paced, action-packed adventures, a trend Spielberg popularized with Indiana Jones. Holding "The Golden Child" accountable for this shift feels unjust. | AI |
Security in connection with football matches with an international dimension: my support for this report is so great - and how could it be otherwise - that, to promote it, I am organising a football match between unmarried Members of the European Parliament and married Members; the referee will, of course, be Mr Gérard Deprez. Moreover, in the interests of male-female equality, I am also going to organise a football match between female married and single Members of the European Parliament. I propose that Mrs Lulling should be the referee and that you, Mr President, should kick off.

Zhelyazkov, Murawski, and Goossens (1996) examined the propagation of magneto-acoustic surface waves under conditions of non-parallel propagation and a sheared magnetic field. Related research on surface waves has been conducted by Roberts (1981a) and Miles and Roberts (1989). Surface waves are characterized by an evanescent tail and typically propagate along sharp, discontinuous interfaces, though they can also occur on smoothly varying interfaces, as discussed in studies such as Lee and Roberts (1986), Hollweg (1990a, b, 1991), and Goossens (1991). These waves are likely to form in the solar atmosphere where abrupt changes in physical parameters occur. Their propagation is directional, guided by the interface, and their energy remains concentrated within approximately one wavelength of the surface. | AI |

The Ferrari improved further in 1995 and Alesi achieved better results, although the pace of the Ferrari fell back during the second half of the season. He finished fifth at Brazil, followed by second places at Argentina and Imola. He retired from second place at the Spanish Grand Prix due to an engine failure, and at the Monaco Grand Prix, again while running second, Martin Brundle's Ligier spun in front of him, leaving him nowhere to go and causing him to crash. However, at the Canadian Grand Prix, on his 31st birthday, he won his first and only race, helped by Michael Schumacher encountering mechanical problems with ten laps to go. Alesi was unaware that he was in the lead for some time, as the mechanics didn't have enough time to put out his new position. | HUMAN |
The proportion of contaminated patients remaining at the event site depends on various factors. For example, in a detectable incident occurring in a controlled environment with established safety protocols, such as a chemical accident in a factory, ambulance services would likely handle the situation, as contaminated individuals would be isolated and awaiting decontamination. Conversely, a covert release of a toxic substance in a public area might only be identified after many affected individuals have dispersed, leading to a portion of casualties seeking treatment at emergency departments. Based on advice from the National Ambulance Resilience Unit (NARU), we analyzed the proportions of on-site versus self-presenting casualties for different HazMat events identified through CRR analysis. The health system was structured hierarchically, with two types of healthcare providers—ambulance services (AS) and hospital emergency departments (ED)—distributed across regional Local Resilience Forums (LRFs). | AI |
As discussed above, the probative value of medical opinion evidence is based on the medical expert's personal examination of the patient, his of her knowledge and skill in analyzing the data, and his or her medical conclusion. As is true with any piece of evidence, the credibility and weight to be attached to these opinions are within the province of the adjudicator. Guerrieri, supra. Whether a physician provides a basis for his or her medical opinion goes to the weight or credibility of the evidence in the adjudication of the merits. See Hernandez-Toyens v. West, supra. | HUMAN |
When the results of the tests described above were negative, we performed Western blot using Bartonella species antigens, as described [15,16]. Informed consent was given by the patient or the next of kin at the time of the blood culture as part of a study of the aetiology of septicaemia. Ethical clearance was provided by the Ethical Review Committee of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, National University of Laos (Vientiane, Laos) and the Oxford University Tropical Ethics Research Committee (Oxford, United Kingdom). The authors of this manuscript have all certified that they comply with the Principles of Ethical Publishing. The hospital charts of patients with a clinical diagnosis or suspicion of IE were retrospectively reviewed by two of the authors (MM and SR). | HUMAN |
She discovered that eliminating processed foods, flour, and dairy while focusing on a diet of fruits, vegetables, chicken, fish, beans, nuts, and whole grains was the key to her success. She described the weight loss process as feeling effortless once she made these changes. Ms. Schiavocampo, who has been married to her husband Tommie Porter for nine years, also stressed the importance of getting seven to nine hours of sleep, as it helps maintain willpower around food choices. Additionally, she highlighted the value of meal planning, keeping the kitchen stocked with groceries, and setting aside time to cook. | AI |
He served as an exceptional president, establishing all the precedents as the first to hold the office. Widely admired, he could have pursued kingship, but he prioritized the nation and its people above personal ambition. While the role of president suited his character, his true legacy lies in his actions and leadership. He was a remarkable man and an outstanding leader, widely regarded as the greatest president in U.S. history by a significant margin. | AI |
Firms decide the quantity to supply based on expected profits, which are influenced by the prices of the outputs they sell and the inputs they purchase, such as labor or raw materials. Aggregate supply (AS) represents the total quantity of output, or real GDP, that firms are willing to produce and sell. The aggregate supply curve illustrates the relationship between the price level and the total quantity of output firms will supply. | AI |
Meanwhile, while on the road to the final Antwerp had beaten bigger teams (leaders Genk, second-place Union SG as well as Standard Liège), Mechelen had seemingly taken the easier route via teams all finishing in the bottom five of the table, with Seraing and Zulte Waregem even relegated. Furthermore, the team itself had played a dull season, never in real danger of relegation but always in the bottom half of the table. Especially from the moment the team qualified for the final, their league performance dropped with many players seemingly not willing to risk long-term injuries. On the final matchday of the regular season, Mechelen did beat Anderlecht away from home, their first win since early March. As they finished 13th, for Mechelen the league was done for the season, meaning the Cup final would be their last match before the summer break. | HUMAN |
The analysis of LUCAS data indicates that the risk posed by lead in European agricultural soils is very low. Lead concentrations exceeded threshold and guideline values in only a small fraction of samples—25 and 16 samples, respectively—from agricultural land. These instances were limited to specific regions. Historically, mining activities for gold and mercury have contributed to elevated mercury concentrations in mining areas. This historical context likely explains the higher mercury levels observed in some samples from Central Italy, North-West England, and Eastern Slovakia (Fig. | AI |
A family shamed by a trendy restaurant on social media for walking out without paying their bill have now settled their tab. Burger & Lobster posted a CCTV picture on its company Facebook page showing a mystery family apparently leaving its new restaurant in The Hayes, Cardiff. Next to the photograph, a staff member wrote: 'To this family that walked out tonight without paying their bill, we are sure this was just a 'mistake' and you completely forgot, so out of the goodness of your heart please call the restaurant tomorrow to pay the bill. Thanks.' Burger & Lobster posted this CCTV picture on its company Facebook page showing a mystery family walking out of its new restaurant in The Hayes, Cardiff. | HUMAN |
In the first group, as the consequences showed of two patients in our study, alleles in patient 2 corresponding to microsatellite markers D2S1363 and D7S1824 were in the DNA from the first tumor but were reduced or not observed in the DNA from the second. In contrast, allele corresponding to D10S1239 was detected in the lung cancer (T2) that was not observed in the T1. Molecular analysis of these tumors identified discordant allelic variations involving three different microsatellite markers, arguing that these cancers arose independently. These mutually exclusive allelic losses strongly suggest that both of the neoplasms are not related. Thus, the lung cancer in this patient represents a second primary carcinoma rather than a solitary metastatic lesion derived from the other one. | HUMAN |
The film approaches a familiar subject—suicide and mental health—in a way that feels distinct. While many stories focus on patients improving through the guidance of doctors, this one centers on a depressed man who falls for a suicidal woman. His relentless efforts to bring her happiness contrast sharply with her indifference toward life itself. The result is an oddly charming romantic comedy that remains engaging throughout. It’s worth watching if you’re open to its unconventional themes, though it may not resonate with everyone. Personally, I’d rate it a 6.4, though I gave it a 9 to help boost its overall score. | AI |
The order of May 20, 1953, implicitly granted the judge authority to finalize the disposition of any matter undertaken between June 1 and June 27 in connection with an action in lieu of prerogative writ. For example, if a motion hearing in such an action had concluded on June 26, the judge would have retained the authority to sign the corresponding order on June 29, eliminating the need for a rehearing before a Superior Court judge. This case extends further, as the motion hearing here was only initiated on June 26. However, we believe the same principle applies. It is expected that a judge should make every effort to resolve such matters within the timeframe of their assignment. | AI |
When evaluating the reasonableness of an action, it is important to consider both the probability of its consequences and the value—whether desirable or undesirable—of those consequences. These two factors are distinct and must be weighed separately. Determining the rightness or wrongness of an act involves assessing its potential outcomes, which is a factual or scientific matter, as well as estimating the likelihood of those outcomes occurring and their respective desirability. Not all actions guarantee specific results with absolute certainty. For example, in a game of poker, holding all four aces significantly increases the probability of winning, making it a reasonable bet. | AI |
At the spring session of the European Council it was stated that the Union would be capable of creating 2 million jobs per year. Yet job creation and cuts in unemployment will not happen unless we take advantage of the current economic growth to continue with the necessary reforms. The session provided confirmation that the integrated guidelines remain valid, at the same time setting out which priorities would be attracting greater emphasis. I am delighted that the parliamentary committee is advocating a similar approach and that it has not agreed to any excessive changes to the underlying principles of employment policy. We are amenable to changes in the points of justification, but by the same token we want to stick with the original wording of the text itself. | HUMAN |
We synthesized two new gold(III) complexes with the general formula \\[Au^III^X~2~(PDT)\\], where X is Br (complex **1**) or Cl (complex **2**), as illustrated in Figure [1](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}. These complexes were characterized physico-chemically, and their in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated using HeLa (cervical cancer), HCT116 (colon neoplasia), SAOS (osteosarcoma), and MEF-*NF1*^−/−^ (immortalized primary embryonic fibroblast) cancer cell lines. The solution behavior of both complexes was analyzed under physiological-like conditions using UV/Vis spectrophotometry. Additionally, the mechanisms of cell death induction were investigated, focusing on their potential effects on redox equilibrium and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) activity. | AI |
We stopped at a small inn in a village overlooking the lake, where, after persistent knocking and searching the premises, we located the landlady at a nearby cottage. She provided us with bread, cheese, and beer, which we enjoyed after our morning walk. Continuing along the lakeside and through a rocky pass, we encountered a lady sitting by the roadside after being thrown from her carriole when her horse abruptly turned onto a steep path, likely leading to its farm. The carriole was damaged, but the lady was unharmed, and the driver had gone to fetch a replacement. She mentioned she had been traveling through the countryside for weeks without incident, and this was the only accident we heard of during our time in Norway. | AI |
In *361 Styne, supra, 26 Cal. 4th 42, the California Supreme Court addressed the commissioner's jurisdiction in matters related to the Talent Agencies Act (TAA). The case involved plaintiff Styne, who sued Connie Stevens, a well-known entertainer, for amounts allegedly owed under an oral contract. Prior to trial, Stevens moved for summary judgment, arguing that the contract in question involved Styne procuring professional employment for her, which constituted acting as a talent agency. Since Styne lacked the required license, Stevens contended that the contract was illegal and void under the Talent Agencies Act. (26 Cal.4th at pp.) | AI |
Although no prospective randomized controlled trials have demonstrated a reasonable number needed to treat to make screening of carotid disease in asymptomatic patients a cost-effective mandate, current practice guidelines in the United States state that it is reasonable to conduct a carotid duplex ultrasound in patients with a bruit, symptoms of TIA, CAD, PAD, or two or more cardiovascular risk factors.[@b36-vhrm-10-403] CTA and MRA should be reserved for patients in whom duplex results are unequivocal or for preoperative Medical therapy and risk factor modification are first-line therapies for all patients with carotid occlusive disease, including smoking cessation, statin therapy, antiplatelet therapy, and antihypertensive Evidence for the treatment of patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis higher than 70% with either CAS or CEA is compelling, and several trials demonstrate a benefit to carotid revascularization in the symptomatic patient Asymptomatic carotid stenosis is perhaps more controversial, with the largest trials only demonstrating a 1% per year risk stroke reduction with Although there are sufficient data to advocate for aggressive medical therapy as the primary mode of treatment for asymptomatic carotid stenosis ([Table there are data to suggest that certain patient populations will benefit from stroke risk reduction with carotid revascularization. | HUMAN |
The Tahk-heesh who had been camped near us at Caribou Crossing vanished the night after we stayed at the small lake. At the same time, our emergency "gum canoe," which we towed behind the raft, also disappeared. This led us to connect the two events and conclude that the Tahk-heesh had taken it. However, we couldn’t be too critical, as we had found the canoe abandoned on Lake Lindeman, and it clearly appeared to be a derelict vessel. We didn’t have a strong claim to it. Fortunately, we didn’t need a canoe again until we could replace it, though at the time, we hadn’t expected to lose the one we had relied on so heavily. | AI |
We cannot agree that the nature of his offense justifies a reduced sentence. Before Rogers left incarceration, Chief Matron Patty Bauer specifically notified him that he would have to register as a sex offender upon his release. Then, when he was released, Rogers failed to register for 26 daysalmost four times the length of the statutory seven-day time limit. It is impossible to predict how long Rogers would have failed to register if the State had not filed an Information charging him with failure to register as a sex offender. | HUMAN |
Figure 13.3 summarizes the iterative (repeated) steps involved in database design, based on the overview given. Its main purpose is to distinguish the general issue of what tables should be used from the detailed definition of the constituent parts of each table – these tables are considered one at a time, although they are not independent of each other. Each iteration that involves a revision of the tables would lead to a new design; collectively they are usually referred to as second-cut designs, even if the process iterates for more than a single loop. | HUMAN |
This study has several limitations. First, the patients with ultra-low rectal cancer were not randomly assigned to the three surgical groups. Instead, the choice of surgery was influenced by tumor characteristics: ultra-low Dixon was more common for higher-positioned tumors, APR for more advanced tumors, and Parks for earlier-stage tumors. This led to differences in preoperative data among the groups, though these were minimized by rigorously screening and excluding patients with significant disparities. Second, the relatively small sample size may reduce the reliability of the conclusions. | AI |
It’s puzzling how mediocre shows often receive series finales, while iconic series like *The Incredible Hulk*, *Knight Rider*, *Airwolf*, and *The A-Team*—which still resonate with audiences today—don’t get the same recognition. These timeless shows continue to be watched more than many current programs, proving their lasting appeal. In contrast, modern detective series and similar content are unlikely to be remembered a decade from now. Reviving these classic shows would demonstrate their enduring quality and remind viewers of what truly stands the test of time. | AI |
The EU and other actors must contribute to peace efforts. The EU is currently playing a role by deploying troops to the region, though a unified European armed force would be preferable to national troops from individual Member States. This is a matter the EU should address in the future to ensure a more cohesive European contribution. While the presence of troops marks progress, further steps are needed to advance toward a truly pan-European approach, including in military cooperation. | AI |
My friend (24 f) is doing a 6 week placement in my (25 f) workplace (a laboratory) as part of her med school programme. Just as an example, let's say that she's interested in becoming a neurologist and I work in a neuroscience lab. We both did our undergrad degrees together and were really good friends, and when we graduated she went into med school and I did a PhD. My friend applied for this placement knowing that it was where I work and knowing that there was a good chance that I would be her day to day supervisor (her official supervisor is my boss, the head of the lab, but it is my responsibility to manage her project on a daily basis and show her how to do things. I do this with other students all the time and have never had issues before). | HUMAN |
Another Hagel confidante told CNN on Wednesday that the Pentagon head 'wanted to move quickly' toward the exit. Juxtaposed with the international turmoil that's arisen since he vacated his Senate seat to join the Obama administration less than two years ago, CNN's source said Hagel want to 'at least control his departure.' Arizona Sen. John McCain said in a radio interview last month that Hagel was 'very, very frustrated' by the time he put in his notice. In this February 2013 photo, then-Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter is pictured testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.

This process creates a cue ball effect, where particles collide and transfer some of their energy to the impacted particle. This maintains the kinetic energy of the energized light. However, some light does not collide with anything and continues moving, gradually losing energy over time. Eventually, the light will exhaust its energy and come to a stop, marking the end of the universe. The light was not merely illuminating the universe; it was actively shaping it as it traveled. | AI |
In this context, the relevant charged solution is the AdS-DBI-RN solutions first discussed in [38, 39]. In many cases the important dynamics of strongly coupled theory is driven by a scalar leading-relevant operator. This is the case in YM, where the operator is Tr[F 2] when the number of flavors Nf ∼O(1). On the contrary, in the Veneziano limit, Nf ∼O(Nc) another scalar operator namely ¯qq becomes important and it is the interplay of these two operators that determines the structure of the vacuum. In such cases the minimal set of important bulk fields to consider for the vacuum solution are gµν controlling the energy, Aµ controlling the charge density and φ (dual to the relevant operator) controlling the coupling constant and its running in the IR. | HUMAN |
The two examples of human skeletons from alluvial deposits given in Table A are thus assigned to epochs distinguished by forms of implement more primitive than those found usually in caves; and moreover the more primitive implements are actually shewn to occur in deeper (_i.e._ more ancient) horizons where superposition has been observed. The greater antiquity of the two river-drift men (as contrasted with the cave-men) has been indicated already by the associated animals, and this evidence is now confirmed by the characters of the implements. | HUMAN |
Madam President, this issue is unfortunately familiar in my country, Sweden, where tourists, often in a relaxed holiday mindset, are misled into purchasing shares in apartments. Many find themselves dissatisfied upon returning home, sometimes with little or nothing to show for their investment. The new directive on timeshare properties will significantly improve consumer protection, provided the same rules are applied consistently across the EU.

The family had always cherished the memory of "wee Susie," and the affection they held for her was now poured into their second daughter. The older brothers wished to name the newborn after their beloved lost sister, but the parents disagreed, disliking the common practice of giving a child the name of someone who had passed away. Instead, they named the girl Jennette, after her grandmother, Mrs. Miller. Around this time, old Mr. Miller passed away. He had lived nearly eighty years, a man of strong health and vitality, and his final illness was brief. From the start, he was certain he would not recover. | AI |
When the young flew from the nest, I felt as though I had lost a family. My grief was not such that I could not capture them, however, and after counting noses, I found that one was missing. I climbed up and there I found 'runtie' at the bottom of the nest, pitifully squeaking at being left alone. I took out the bottom and extracted him. Finally, after half an hour or more of posing, I got several good pictures of the babies on a dead branch. | HUMAN |
PBFT’s choice of MAC-authenticated allto-all communication was motivated by the desire to avoid public-key operations on the critical transaction path. However, the cost for public-key operations has decreased due to well-optimized asymmetric cryptosystems [6], making those costs less of an issue. By adopting digital signatures for authentication, we are able to use sparser and more scalable communication topologies, thus enabling the current leader to collect and distribute third-party verifiable evidence that certain steps in PBFT have succeeded. This removes the necessity for all trustees to communicate directly with each other. With this measure we can either enable the leader to collect and distribute the digital signatures, or let nodes communicate in a chain [32], reducing the normal-case number of messages from O(n2) to O(n). | HUMAN |
Templeton is understandably shocked to find himself transported into his past, and succumbs to the obvious desire to get alone with his wife who, at the time we had met Templeton at the beginning of the episode, had been dead for many years but remained very much alive in his memories. In one of the show's most interesting scenes, he and his lost wife get into an argument, leading him to tell her he doesn't like what she has become. What we in the audience know, and Templeton eventually figures out, is that it's not her that has become anything, it is him who has been changed by the decades that have passed since the last time they saw each other. It's an interesting analysis of how people change over the years, both from who they were when they were younger and, unfortunately often, from the person they have chosen as their life partner. We wonder how happy Templeton and this woman would be had she lived. | HUMAN |
I suspect #tweetmyjobs is trending simply because TweetMyJobs' many accounts hashtag it to every post they make. Their posts are automatically-generated got-to-fit-in-140 gobbledygook, and several of their accounts that I checked have been suspended presumably for their repetitive nonsense content. It looks like a infrastructure designed by people who haven't really thought things through (you're expected to register an account in order to see the list of Twitter accounts? And can only browse job descriptions by visiting those Twitter accounts and then clicking a shortlink that then links back to the site?). TweetMyJobs is, as far as I can tell, a mess. | HUMAN |
While inquiring into the murder of an administrator at a government research facility, a U.S. senator is confronted with paranoia, secrecy, and intimidation. He ultimately learns the cause: An unusual security device that is used to monitor its employees. The spying on people leads to: murder, bad morale, false accusations, interrogations, fear, distrust, a breakdown in social activities, a big increase in divorce and alcoholism, suicide, decreased communication and misunderstandings, intimidation, coercion, threats, a breakdown in morality, escapism, or exile, conspiracies, it spreads out of control, it is hideous, it saps the spirit, it's addictive like a drug, it breeds contempt, it causes fights, it drives people apart, it leads to lying, and it was brought in by an enemy of the US. The Outer Band Individuated Teletracer (known by the acronym O.B.I.T.) is so pervasive and invasive that no one can escape its prying eye, at any time within . It is even deemed addictive by some of its operators. | HUMAN |
Material and geometric properties are the primary factors influencing skeletal biomechanical strength. Research by Yarrow et al. demonstrated that orchidectomy did not significantly affect bone load or stiffness in male rats. Although annatto tocotrienol increased bone calcium content, which should have improved material properties, this did not result in enhanced biomechanical performance in the AnTT group. It was hypothesized that the geometric properties of the bone remained unchanged after eight weeks of annatto tocotrienol supplementation. | AI |
'To the collection of _English Poets_, I have recommended the volume of Dr. Watts to be added; his name has long been held by me in veneration[376], and I would not willingly be reduced to tell of him only that he was born and died. Yet of his life I know very little, and therefore must pass him in a manner very unworthy of his character, unless some of his friends will favour me with the necessary information; many of them must be known to you; and by your influence, perhaps I may obtain some instruction. My plan does not exact much; but I wish to distinguish Watts, a man who never wrote but for a good purpose. Be pleased to do for me what you can. | HUMAN |
4 women in a holding cell, creepy doctors, and a man with a large kitchen utensil carving away in the nightly hours... and a - drum rolltwist in the end. The above got me sold on it, however when watching it a couple of other problems were quickly visible. Uninteresting actors with bad lines, no budget - the holding cell looks like a part of a construction yard with plasticway way way too long and the twist is not that bad but played out way too long.. I see a recurrence here, but anyway. Tighter editing - the film can cut away at least 30 minutesbetter actors and a better story would have done miracles. If you watch it now keep the remote handy to fast forward and check if you still give a damn about the twist in the end, I know I didn't. | HUMAN |
In contrast, we find statistically significant effects of air pollution reduction in four out of six post-opening intervals for the same two specifications (Columns 3 and 4). One additional identification concern may arise from air pollution induced by subway construction, which differs between the treatment and the control group. The construction of a subway station involves both underground and ground work, which may generate construction dust and worsen the air quality. If the construction leads to higher pollution levels close to new subway stations before opening dates, the DID framework could mistake the pollution reduction from the mere completion of the construction itself as the impact of the subway expansion and hence overestimate the true impact. However, this concern is mitigated because under the national standard of subway construction in China, every subway line is subject to an intensive trial run over a three-month period during which the subway train is tested after the ground work has been finished completely. | HUMAN |
Installing sanitary dispensers in common areas of the dormitory could help reduce the higher rates of illness among students. Additional research might identify specific locations where viral transmission occurs by studying smaller groups of students in different parts of the building. This approach, known as significance testing, is widely used to determine whether observed differences in data are due to chance or reflect real variations between groups. Such mathematical analyses often lead to practical interventions, which are essential in fields like medicine, engineering, and other scientific and non-scientific disciplines. | AI |
>> Rather than attempt a book on "mathematics for poets", Körner explains that he decided to talk as if he were speaking to another mathematician. Almost all of his topics involve only elementary mathematics (though here and there an occasional remark or exercise goes quite a bit deeper than that), but the attitude is quite sophisticated. As he says in the preface, this means that most of the book's intended readers will find at least a few points where they are in over their heads. Körner urges them to skip over such parts or, even better, to find some professor willing to discuss them. Read this way, Körner's The Pleasures of Counting is really a pleasure, and may well attract many students to mathematics. | HUMAN |
"Crips and Bloods: Made in America" presents a superficial and voyeuristic exploration of the South Side, offering minimal insight and relying heavily on stylistic gimmicks over substance. The 93-minute film, resembling an extended rock video, ultimately delivers the simplistic conclusion that gang members are, in fact, human—a revelation that feels both belated and unnecessary. In contrast, Randy Holland’s 1992 documentary, "The Fire This Time," which also examines the Los Angeles riots, provides a more thoughtful and contextualized analysis. Holland’s work incorporates interviews with scholars, community members, and the families of Black Panthers, tracing the roots of gang culture to the decline of militant movements. While Holland’s film offers intellectual depth, "Crips and Bloods" largely devolves into a repetitive cycle of anger and self-pity, lacking the nuance of its predecessor. | AI |
The film offers one clear takeaway: surviving an apocalyptic robotic alien insect invasion that consumes everything requires nothing more than hiding under a bridge in Central Park. The most disappointing aspect is how the director fails to utilize the talented cast effectively. Keanu Reeves, often criticized for his stiff delivery, was a fitting choice for the alien Klaatu, yet even he seems unconvinced by his own dialogue. Jennifer Connelly, known for her emotional depth and charisma, appears visibly uncomfortable throughout much of the film, as if regretting her decision to participate in such a poorly conceived project. | AI |
The second part, "The Explanations of Innocent Smith," follows the trial. The prosecution consists of Moses Gould, a merrily cynical Jew who lives at Beacon House and considers Smith at best a fool and at worst a scoundrel, and Dr. Cyrus Pym, an American criminal specialist called in by Dr. Warner; Michael Moon and Arthur Inglewood act for the defense. The evidence consists of correspondence from people who witnessed or participated in the exploits that led to the charges against Smith. In every case, the defendant is revealed to be, as his first name states, innocent. He fires bullets near people to make them value life; the house he breaks into is his own; he travels around the world only to return with renewed appreciation for his house and family; and the women he absconded with are actually his wife Mary, posing as a spinster under different aliases so they may repeatedly re-enact their courtship. | HUMAN |
According to Matthew 27:52–53, the graves were opened, and many bodies of saints who had died rose after Jesus' resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many. This account appears inconsistent, as the text suggests the dead rose both at the time of Jesus' death and after his resurrection, yet it is presented in the same straightforward manner as other events, such as the earthquake, the tearing of the temple veil, and the centurion's reaction—none of which were noted by contemporary historians. The repeated mention of resurrections risks diminishing the significance of Jesus' resurrection, which is central to the Christian belief in the forgiveness of sins. Additionally, the concept of the "undead" is not unique to Christianity, as it appears in various forms across cultures and religions, from Osiris to vampirism to voodoo. | AI |

During the second week, the inner cell mass develops into a two-layered disc of embryonic cells, and a space called the amniotic cavity forms between it and the trophoblast. Cells from the upper layer of the disc, known as the epiblast, expand around the amniotic cavity to create a membranous sac, which becomes the amnion by the end of the second week. The amnion fills with amniotic fluid and eventually encloses the embryo. Initially, the amniotic fluid is primarily a filtrate of maternal plasma, but as the fetal kidneys begin functioning around the eighth week, they contribute urine to the fluid. This fluid provides protection for the embryo and later the fetus, shielding it from trauma and sudden temperature changes. | AI |
Ronnie had a way of making jokes and sharing stories, showing an unusual level of interest in the boy's prep school, turning its mundane details into something lively and engaging—something even Coplestone hadn’t managed to do. Uvo could speak with the enthusiasm of an expert about sports he couldn’t play, discuss books like a seasoned writer, and recount adventures as if he were a natural explorer. His time in Egypt had given him experiences that seemed far more significant in his retelling than he let on, leaving the impression that he had accomplished more than he admitted. To a young boy, he was utterly captivating. If he had been a teacher at a school like Ronnie’s, he would have had a group of boys following him eagerly at every opportunity. | AI |

But my personal experience is that many of these magical single command tools break a lot when you try to use them in any non-standard environment (for example, something that is not Ubuntu and where you don't have sudo to fix/install system packages) and I work in environments like that a lot. So the fact that e.g. cabal-install requires a bit more explicit work to setup initially is outweighed by the fact that I can reliably install it on any *nix system where I have a login and sufficient diskspace and have it Just Work. | HUMAN |
Breivik experienced frequent suppressed tics. The prosecution, led by Director of Public Prosecutions Tor Aksel Busch and Public Prosecutor Svein Holden, arrived in court today to hear testimony from mental health experts. Norwegian Special Forces were deployed by boat to the island of Utoya during Breivik’s shooting spree. On July 22 last year, Breivik killed 77 people, first detonating a car bomb in Oslo and then carrying out a shooting rampage at a camp on Utoya Island. Asperger’s support groups in Norway have criticized previous attempts to link his actions to the condition. | AI |
in writing. - ( SK) During the previous parliamentary term, the Conference of Presidents set up a Working Party on Parliamentary Reform, which was to review the functioning of Parliament and suggest improvements. In the chapter on cooperation between committees, the working party proposed not only strengthening the position of an associated committee involved in an associated committee procedure, but also developing a new form of cooperation between committees, introduced on the basis of Rule 51. This proposal was justified on the grounds that, in specific cases, when a legislative document of fundamental importance clearly does not belong within the scope of one committee, it may also be split between a number of committees. Disputes over competence must be resolved in accordance with the principle of equality and the principle of cooperation. | HUMAN |
The new proposals represent a significant intensification of the scheme, making it substantially different from the original project for which the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) was obtained. Tottenham Hotspur, set to face Fiorentina in the Europa League this Thursday, already holds planning permission for a new stadium with a capacity of over 56,000, which it aims to open for the 2018/19 season. Archway contends that the proposed changes to the Spurs project are so substantial that they undermine the viability case presented at the inquiry and weaken the CPO. Christopher Lockhart-Mummery QC, representing Archway, has informed the judge that an application for disclosure of documents held by Tottenham Hotspur Ltd has revealed the extent of these changes. In written submissions, the QC noted that the Premier League club dismissed these changes as minor details within a broader context, labeling them as irrelevant. However, the disclosed documents indicate discussions about an updated stadium design and an increase in capacity by 5,000 seats. | AI |

The study participants were recruited from the Mpilo Hospital HIV Clinic in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second-largest city. The clinic has offered antiretroviral therapy (ART) since April 2004 and began decentralizing care for stable adult patients to primary care facilities in 2006, resulting in a significant cohort of adolescent patients. HIV care at Mpilo is delivered through a collaboration between the public sector, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and other organizations. While ART initiation was managed by doctors, routine clinical care was primarily handled by nurses trained in HIV management, with oversight provided by on-site doctors. | AI |
George Warde joined the army during the reign of George II. He was appointed Captain in the Eleventh Dragoons in 1748 and promoted to Major of the same regiment in June 1756. In 1758, he became Lieutenant-Colonel of the Fourth Dragoons, leading the regiment for many years and achieving a high level of discipline. King George III frequently praised the regiment’s excellent condition during reviews. Warde was promoted to Colonel in 1772 and assumed command of the Fourteenth Dragoons the following year. | AI |
In our model for 80–100 M⊙ stars, we did not observe significant mass loss, likely due to the lower mass range and the presence of an H-envelope that absorbs and mitigates pulsations. Our study of these stars revealed that the number of oscillations depends on the convective parameter fk: a larger fk increases the oscillation count. This occurs because a higher fk enhances the mixing of fresh Si into the central region, prolonging this evolutionary stage. The amplitude of temperature and density variations is greater in more massive stars, suggesting that stronger and more frequent oscillations could occur in stars with M > 100 M⊙. During this phase, the central specific entropy decreases (or density increases), and the Fe-core, defined as the region with Ye ≤ 0.49, expands. However, these pulsations have minimal impact on M(56Ni). | AI |
By creating the impression that they are helpless slaves who need rescuing from the hands of criminals, they propagate a myth that all informal work that helps migrants to survive is illicit and should be prohibited, thereby denying migrants the lifeline on which they often depend." Demonstrably effective strategies to fight and prevent labor exploitation in sex work, encompass full decriminalization, community building integration, and collective governance (cf. Amnesty International, [@CR4]; Östergren, [@CR39]; Vanwesenbeeck, [@CR53]; Wagenaar et al., [ @CR54]). And any effective fight against exploitation should involve the workers themselves, not dismiss them. | HUMAN |
A central objective in the field of artificial intelligence is to address complex tasks using raw, high-dimensional sensory input. Recent advancements have emerged from integrating deep learning techniques for sensory processing, such as those demonstrated by Krizhevsky et al. (2012), with reinforcement learning. This combination led to the development of the Deep Q Network (DQN) algorithm (Mnih et al., 2015), which achieves human-level performance on numerous Atari video games by processing raw pixel data. The DQN approach relies on deep neural network function approximators to estimate the action-value function. | AI |
This insect was first described in California in 1892 by the American entomologist Frank Ellsworth Blaisdell. He named it Scymnus lophanthae, and thought it was a native American species. Unbeknown to him, the beetle was an introduced species, and at about the same time, it was described in its native Australia by the Australian entomologist Thomas Blackburn, who gave it the name Rhizobius toowoombae. However, Blaisdell's name took precedence as it was published first, and R. toowoombae became a synonym. The specific name lophanthae means "of lophantha", referring to the plant Paraserianthes lophantha on which Blaisdell originally saw the ladybird. | HUMAN |
I have conducted extensive research in human behavioral genetics and believe that the broad questions about the relationship between the genome and behavior have largely been addressed (though whether people choose to engage with that knowledge is another matter). Genes and environment both significantly influence behavior, and their interactions are highly complex and dynamic. Major disruptions to behavioral systems can arise from either genetic or environmental factors. Additionally, behavior is often measured in a simplified manner in behavioral genetic studies due to practical limitations, which means that finer distinctions that might be of interest to some are frequently not captured in such research. | AI |
A decent analogy might be a hike with unclear trails and markers. At the first crossroads we might decide that left is the correct path to your destination. Once down that path, there are dozens of other paths. If we find trails that continually lead nowhere, the common human response is to keep trying well past the point where we should have gone back to our original assumption. When we finally decide to go back and try the right-side path we completely give up on the left side, despite the fact that we haven't checked every possible subtrail on the left side. | HUMAN |
I originally bought these to apply body oil, but they’ve proven useful for other purposes as well. They work well for cleaning tasks, especially if you prefer homemade solutions or refillable products without dealing with flimsy plastic bottles.

While glass can break, its durability and neutrality make it a positive feature for me overall. | AI |
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, generalized neuromuscular pain disorder of unknown etiology. The clinical symptoms are characterized by widespread muscular pain, fatigue, multiple tender points, and multiple other somatic symptoms.\\[[@ref65]\\] Till recently, CNS (central sensitization) was considered to be the major factor involved in the pathophysiology of FM. However, recent investigations in FM patients have suggested that peripheral nerve endings also play a pivotal role. An increased neurogenically-mediated axon reflex flare reaction to mechanical and chemical stimuli and a lower threshold of the capsaicin-induced flare were observed in FM patients.\\[[@ref66]\\] This increased receptor activity may also contribute to the pain and tenderness experienced by these patients.\\[[@ref66]\\] A recent study demonstrated high amounts of SP in the nerve endings of the trapezius muscle of FM patients, compared with controls.\\[[@ref67]\\] In other studies, SP concentration was found to be three times higher in the CSF of FM patients, compared with controls.\\[[@ref68]\\] These findings thus support the role of neurogenic inflammation in the development and perception of myofascial pain in FM patients. | HUMAN |
∗e-mail : mtakeo@toyota-ct.ac.jp 1 Introduction The discovery of the top-quark[1] has finally confirmed the existence of three quarklepton symmetric generations. So far the standard SU(2)L ⊗U(1) model (denoted by the SM) has successfully explained various experimental evidences. Nevertheless, as is well known, the SM is not regarded as the final theory because it has many arbitrary parameters, e.g., quark and lepton masses, quark-mixing parameters, etc. . Therefore it is meaningful to investigate the origins of these parameters and the relationship among them. In order to overcome such problems some attempts have done, e.g., Grand Unification Theory (GUT), Supersymmetry,Super String Theory, Composite model, etc. . | HUMAN |
Conventional mechanical lysis procedures, such as the French press, the Hughes press, and the Ribi pressure cell, take less time than chemical methods (minutes compared with hours or days). They use pressure for rupture of the bacteria. Briefly, bacteria are placed in a chamber where a piston compresses the atmosphere of the chamber (80,000 lbs./square inch). The pressure is then released through a small super cooled valve and the sudden pressure change ruptures the cells. However, growing the cell cultures and achieving the appropriate concentration and volume can be time-consuming. | HUMAN |
To assess the feasibility of the biotinylated system, we investigated the biotinylation of Rfa2 and Orc1 *in vivo* and measured biotinylation efficiency through immunoblotting. Yeast cells were cultured to mid-log phase, and *GAL1,10*-driven expression was induced by adding 2% galactose. Whole-protein extracts from yFYV3 and yFYV6--8 were prepared to analyze Avi-tagged protein biotinylation. Biotinylation was detected using streptavidin-HRP, which specifically binds to the biotin molecule attached to the Avi-tag. Biotinylation efficiency was evaluated using an anti-Flag antibody for Rfa2 and an anti-CBP antibody for Orc1. | AI |
Gregor Jordan's film presents a straightforward yet compelling story that explores themes of deception, young love, the inevitability of consequences, and the timeless idea that crime ultimately fails. The narrative succeeds through its attention to small, quirky details, a subtle exploration of humanity's dual nature, and a natural sense of irony. The violence is depicted in a stark, unflinching manner, while the flawed, complex characters are grounded in a mundane, believable reality—such as Panda playing Scrabble with an associate or pausing a criminal discussion to speak with his son on the phone. Bryan Brown delivers a nuanced and commanding performance as the shrewd and dangerous Pando, solidifying his status as one of the most talented actors in film. The result is a quietly effective and rewarding hidden gem. | AI |
If a Fund engaged in short sale transactions, it would not sell securities short if, after effect is given to any such short sale, the total market value of all securities sold short would exceed 25% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. Until the Fund closes its short position or replaces the borrowed security, it will (1)segregate permissible liquid assets in an amount that, together with the amount provided as collateral, always equals the current value of the security sold short or (2)otherwise cover its short position. BORROWING MONEY.Each of the Select Japan Fund and the Select Japan Smaller Companies Fund is permitted to borrow to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, which permits an investment company to borrow in an amount up to 331/3% of the value of its total assets. The Funds do not currently intend to borrow money for investment purposes (leverage).

The plaintiff has filed this case against its landlord, claiming water damage to personal property located in an office space in Madison Township leased from the defendant’s predecessor. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant failed to address the issue or provide compensation upon request. In response, the plaintiff withheld rent, leading the defendant to initiate a distress action, which the plaintiff claims was excessive and amounted to constructive eviction. The plaintiff further states that, despite the distress, it has relocated the seized goods to another premises and that the defendant now threatens to seize them at the new location, causing irreparable harm. Additionally, the plaintiff argues that the distress action constituted unlawful self-help, violating procedural due process, and has restricted the plaintiff’s ability to sell the goods, thereby diminishing control over them. | AI |
Fort William and Mary was the site of one of the first acts of the American Revolution. On the afternoon of December 14, 1774, colonists arrived aboard gundalows (sailing barges) and raided the fort. Severely outnumbered, Captain John Cochran and the fort's five soldiers surrendered, whereupon the rebels loaded onto a boat 100 barrels of gunpowder. The boat was floated up the Piscataqua River and the powder offloaded for transport to inland towns, including Durham, where the ammunition was stored in the cellar of the Congregational church. The next day, the colonists returned to the fort and removed 16 of the lighter cannon and all small arms. | HUMAN |
As the initial alarms faded, a sense of calm gradually returned. In many households, the Prussian officer joined the family for meals.
