Various optionally supported features might require specification of custom +extra require, e.g. `pip install fsspec[ssh]` will install dependencies for `ssh` backends support. +Use `pip install fsspec[full]` for installation of all known extra dependencies. + +Up-to-date package also provided through conda-forge distribution: + +```bash +conda install -c conda-forge fsspec +``` + + +## Purpose + +To produce a template or specification for a file-system interface, that specific implementations should follow, +so that applications making use of them can rely on a common behaviour and not have to worry about the specific +internal implementation decisions with any given backend. Many such implementations are included in this package, +or in sister projects such as `s3fs` and `gcsfs`. + +In addition, if this is well-designed, then additional functionality, such as a key-value store or FUSE +mounting of the file-system implementation may be available for all implementations "for free". + +## Documentation + +Please refer to [RTD](https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) + +## Develop + +fsspec uses GitHub Actions for CI. Environment files can be found +in the "ci/" directory. Note that the main environment is called "py38", +but it is expected that the version of python installed be adjustable at +CI runtime. For local use, pick a version suitable for you. + +```bash +# For a new environment (mamba / conda). +mamba create -n fsspec -c conda-forge python=3.10 -y +conda activate fsspec + +# Standard dev install with docs and tests. +pip install -e ".[dev,doc,test]" + +# Full tests except for downstream +pip install s3fs +pip uninstall s3fs +pip install -e .[dev,doc,test_full] +pip install s3fs --no-deps +pytest -v + +# Downstream tests. +sh install_s3fs.sh +# Windows powershell. +install_s3fs.sh +``` + +### Testing + +Tests can be run in the dev environment, if activated, via ``pytest fsspec``. + +The full fsspec suite requires a system-level docker, docker-compose, and fuse +installation. If only making changes to one backend implementation, it is +not generally necessary to run all tests locally. + +It is expected that contributors ensure that any change to fsspec does not +cause issues or regressions for either other fsspec-related packages such +as gcsfs and s3fs, nor for downstream users of fsspec. The "downstream" CI +run and corresponding environment file run a set of tests from the dask +test suite, and very minimal tests against pandas and zarr from the +test_downstream.py module in this repo. + +### Code Formatting + +fsspec uses [Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable) to ensure +a consistent code format throughout the project. +Run ``black fsspec`` from the root of the filesystem_spec repository to +auto-format your code. Additionally, many editors have plugins that will apply +``black`` as you edit files. ``black`` is included in the ``tox`` environments. + +Optionally, you may wish to setup [pre-commit hooks](https://pre-commit.com) to +automatically run ``black`` when you make a git commit. +Run ``pre-commit install --install-hooks`` from the root of the +filesystem_spec repository to setup pre-commit hooks. ``black`` will now be run +before you commit, reformatting any changed files. You can format without +committing via ``pre-commit run`` or skip these checks with ``git commit +--no-verify``. + +## Support + +Work on this repository is supported in part by: + +"Anaconda, Inc. - Advancing AI through open source." + +anaconda logo diff --git a/LTA_openwebtext_dualt/mini_owt_logdirichlet/.venv_qwen35_uv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/fsspec-2026.4.0.dist-info/REQUESTED b/LTA_openwebtext_dualt/mini_owt_logdirichlet/.venv_qwen35_uv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/fsspec-2026.4.0.dist-info/REQUESTED new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 diff --git a/LTA_openwebtext_dualt/mini_owt_logdirichlet/.venv_qwen35_uv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/transformers/models/bart/__init__.py b/LTA_openwebtext_dualt/mini_owt_logdirichlet/.venv_qwen35_uv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/transformers/models/bart/__init__.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..3cf9c34518954100c569a8c3a78e652a48b2a9f6 --- /dev/null +++ b/LTA_openwebtext_dualt/mini_owt_logdirichlet/.venv_qwen35_uv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/transformers/models/bart/__init__.py @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +# Copyright 2024 The HuggingFace Team.

Players can cheat by stealing the next card in the deck and swapping it with the worst card in their hand, provided it improves their hand and helps avoid busting. The game challenges players to compete against cheating CPU opponents to win match play and compare scores with other players worldwide. Players can also catch CPU players to prevent them from gaining an unfair advantage.

The game invites players to experience the classic game in a new way, combining Blackjack 21, cheating mechanics, and Wild West showdowns. Players can compare their scores with others around the globe.\n\nThe game features several key elements: cheating to steal or swap the next card if it is better, catching CPU players to stop them from cheating, playing multiple seats to cheat faster, and disabling cheating for normal Blackjack play. It also boasts colorful HD player, CPU, and table graphics, Wild West-style showdowns when caught cheating, worldwide score comparisons, six exciting game modes with web leaderboards, and the ability to play alone or with up to four CPU opponents. The game is perfect for quick sessions or extended matches and is easy to learn, encouraging the use of strategy to win.\n\nCheaters Blackjack 21 is designed as a 100% fair gambling game, with no computer peeking or cheating to gain an advantage over the player.

The incident occurred just one day after the anniversary of the country's founding. While North Korea's missile program is notoriously opaque, it is possible that US cyber operations were responsible for the failed launch.\n\nA recent New York Times report uncovered a secret operation to derail North Korea's nuclear-missile program that has been ongoing for at least three years. The report attributes North Korea's high failure rate with Russian-designed missiles to US interference in the country's missile software and networks. Although North Korea's missile infrastructure lacks the competence of Russia's, the Soviet-era missile on which North Korea based its own design had a 13% failure rate, while the North Korean version failed a staggering 88% of the time.\n\nWhile the Sunday missile failure could simply have been due to poor workmanship, US Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland seemed to leave room for speculation about espionage. Speaking to Fox News, she stated, \"We can't talk about secret intelligence and things that might have been done, covert operations, so I really have no comment.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence visited the demilitarized zone between the Koreas on Monday. He stated that \"all options are on the table to achieve the objectives and ensure the stability of the people of this country,\" and declared that \"the era of strategic patience\" with North Korea \"is over.\"\n\nTo those familiar with the issue, the campaign against North Korea came as no surprise. Ken Geers, a cybersecurity expert for Comodo with experience at the National Security Agency, told Business Insider that cyber operations like the one against North Korea are standard practice. While the idea of the US hacking another country's missile program may be shocking to some, Geers noted that \"within military intelligence spaces, this is what they do.\" He explained, \"If you think that war is possible with a given state, you're going to be trying to prepare the battle space for conflict. In the internet age, that means hacking.\"\n\nNorth Korea's internal networks are fiercely insulated and not connected to the internet, which poses a challenge for US hackers. However, Geers said it is \"absolutely not the case\" that hacking requires computers connected to the internet. A recent New Yorker report on Russian hacking detailed a case in which Russia gained access to a NATO computer network in 1996 by providing bugged thumb drives to shops near a NATO base in Kabul, Afghanistan. NATO operators purchased the drives, used them on the network, and the Russians gained access.\n\n\"That's where SIGINT (signals intelligence) or COMINT (communications intelligence) comes into collaboration with HUMINT (human intelligence),\" Geers explained. He described the current moment as the \"golden age of espionage,\" noting that cyberwarfare remains nonlethal, unattributable, and almost completely unpunished.\n\nDespite these sophisticated efforts, a recent missile salvo from North Korea suggests that even a prolonged cyberattack cannot fully derail its nuclear-missile program. \"Imagine you're the president. North Korea is a human-rights abuser and an exporter of dangerous technology,\" Geers said. \"Responsible governments really need to think about ways to handle North Korea, and one of the options is regime change.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "db4e871e03e55e69abf453c39300174d25024cde", "raw_chars": 3361, "clean_chars": 3360, "edit_ratio": 0.1055, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "“We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination and winning this election in November,” Hillary Clinton said at her victory party on Tuesday. As if to prove the point, she quickly pivoted to the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump.\n\n“Our next president has to be ready to face three big tasks,” Clinton said during a speech that looked past her primary fight with Bernie Sanders and ahead to a probable matchup with Trump. “First, can you make positive differences in people’s lives? Second, can you keep us safe? Third, can you bring our country together again?”\n\nClinton’s indictment of Trump’s policy positions sounded like a preview of arguments to come. “When we hear a candidate for president call for the rounding up of 12 million immigrants, banning all Muslims from entering the United States, when he embraces torture, that doesn’t make him strong, it makes him wrong,” she said.\n\nClinton has been eager to refocus her campaign to confront Trump more directly. However, when asked if she was concerned that a protracted primary fight with Sanders would hobble Democrats ahead of the contest against a Republican nominee, she declined to encourage Sanders to leave the race.\n\nHer campaign emailed a fundraising pitch that evening warning of the dangers of a Trump presidency and of complacency among Democrats. “Tonight, Donald Trump could become the presumptive Republican nominee for president,” the donation request began. It warned that too many Republicans had tried to ignore him until it was too late.\n\nMeanwhile, Sanders held a rally before about 7,000 people in Phoenix on Tuesday night, a week ahead of Arizona’s primary. He said his campaign had “defied all expectations” but made no mention of the three states that had already been called in Clinton’s favor.\n\n“What excites me so much as I go around the country is to see the incredible energy of people who love this country but know we can do so much better,” Sanders said to loud cheers.\n\nSome of his die-hard supporters expressed hope that he could still pull out the nomination. “I still think the revolution is coming,” said James Homan, 55, a sound engineer for rock musicians who has homes in Illinois and Arizona.

Some matching studies do identify disemployment effects. For instance, Sabia, Burkhauser, and Hansen (2012) found negative effects on employment when comparing New York state with several comparison states, while Hoffman and Trace (2009) reported that a minimum-wage increase in Pennsylvania reduced the employment prospects of \"at-risk\" workers relative to comparable workers in New Jersey. Perhaps the highest-quality study using matching methods that identifies a disemployment effect is that of Singell and Terborg (2007), who found negative effects associated with significantly larger increases in the minimum wage in Oregon and Washington. Additionally, Neumick, Salas, and Wascher (2013) utilized a \"synthetic control method\" and found negative effects of minimum-wage increases. This important contribution to the matching literature is discussed in more detail below.\n\nEach of these studies is open to criticism. Hoffman (2014) demonstrated that correcting questionable data choices eliminates the negative result reported by Sabia, Burkhauser, and Hansen (2012). Furthermore, all of these analyses rely on state-wide data, which arguably provide a weaker match than the studies by Card and Krueger (1994), Dube, Lester, and Reich (2010), and others that match neighboring counties rather than entire states. Even if these negative results are accepted at face value, the strongest studies investigating the widest range of minimum-wage increases by Dube and his colleagues conclude that, on average, minimum-wage increases have little to no effect on employment.\n\nStudies Without Matching\n\nThe alternative to a matching approach is to run a model using state-level or individual-level panel data, meaning data collected over time, on employment levels to estimate how employment changes after states enact a higher minimum wage. These models possess several valuable features, most notably their ability to control for idiosyncratic differences between states or individuals that do not change over time. These stable differences are referred to as \"fixed effects,\" and the models are consequently called fixed-effects models.

Kushner ultimately bested his father’s accuser, crushing Christie’s hopes for the vice-presidential nomination, yet Christie retained an important place within Trump’s small circle of loyalists. If Trump won the election, it was widely assumed there would be a place for him in the administration, perhaps as attorney general.\n\nThat prospect must make David Wildstein extremely nervous. Following the scandal, Wildstein moved to Florida, sold his house in Montville, and lost a precipitous amount of weight. When he arrived at court to enter his guilty plea, reporters covering the case hardly recognized him. Under the terms of his deal with prosecutors, he was expected to serve as the star witness against Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni, who, if convicted, would likely face two to three years in prison. Rumors circulated that their trial would bring significant further disclosures. Wildstein, the collector of secrets, was said to have walked out of the Port Authority with an enormous amount of documentary evidence, including the hard drive from his former friend Baroni’s computer.\n\nLooming over the trial was the question of Chris Christie’s level of involvement in his old classmate’s controversial bridge scheme. Prosecutors had filed a sealed memorandum listing individuals who were aware of the plot; it was widely presumed that Christie’s name appeared on it. If he were called to testify, the governor would have to tell his story under oath. At a minimum, the spectacle would be embarrassing for Christie and threatening to any future chance of a cabinet post. At worst, the trial could destroy what remained of a career he had once thought could plausibly culminate in the presidency.\n\nAmong veteran observers of New Jersey politics, there was an ongoing debate about who was most to blame for Chris Christie’s downfall. There were essentially two theories. One held that Christie, a seemingly intelligent adult, would never be so foolish as to authorize a retaliatory traffic jam. The other held that Wildstein, also a seemingly intelligent adult, would never have proceeded with his scheme without Christie’s approval. The trial was scheduled to begin on September 19. Soon, the public might hear the rest of the tale and, at long last, get the joke.\n\nThis article originally appeared in the September 19, 2016, issue of New York Magazine.

Even time travelers seem reluctant to traverse such vast distances, perhaps due to the lag of spaceship travel. Interestingly, this comic marks the first time I have seen men lining up for a restroom. Consider this: Kyle Rayner became Green Lantern precisely because he stepped out to pee.

The Phantom Stranger with a new hat? A cross-dressing Zatanna? A goth version of the Mad Mod?\n\nIn Voodoo, thankfully, the Red-Hooded Woman is not masquerading as a stripper at the Voodoo Lounge.

She watches mostly on Earth, but also off-world. She can almost certainly travel in time and is undetectable to humans and technology. She needed Barry Allen's power to help her knit the DC, Vertigo, superhero, and Wildstorm universes together, and now she is keeping watch over the result.\n\nBut who is she? Could she be the Time Trapper, the longtime nemesis of the Legion of Super-Heroes? Is she a new Harbinger, foretelling a brand-new Crisis on 52 Earths? Could she be the Marvel Universe's new Crimson Cowl, heralding a return to great DC/Marvel crossover events?

A series of checks certainly would not go amiss to ensure customers do not wind up with a fare for the wrong location or, worse yet, end up somewhere else entirely.\n\nBeing charged double for a ride is no fun. One of the biggest changes that Uber implemented with its app overhaul is how they handle payment. It used to be that you would book your ride and only be charged the fare, calculated based on the minimum fee and an amount per minute or kilometer, once you reached your destination. Just like a regular cab, nice and simple.\n\nInstead, the new system calculates the fare in advance using the same mathematics as before and gives you an estimated rate for how much the journey should cost. This is clearly stated in the app along with the caveat that Uber places a temporary authorization hold on your card, which is converted to a charge for the final fare. You may receive one or more SMS messages from your bank notifying you of both the hold and the charge.\n\nFrustratingly, if your journey deviates from the specified amount charged at the beginning of the trip, due to a detour to pick up a friend or traffic, you are then charged a second, final amount for what the fare actually is. Sure, the original amount is released back to your credit card, but some banks take upwards of 10 working days to process a card chargeback. This means if you are a regular Uber user who gets stuck in traffic often, which is practically everyone in Dubai, then you could be potentially paying around double each time you ride.\n\nWe reached out to Uber regarding our grievances with their app and they came back with the most diplomatic of responses.

But then Bush appoints Christie to be a U.S. Attorney, and he begins to arrest public officeholders for corruption. In New Jersey, criminal investigations are considered to be politics by other means, which is another part of the joke, and Wildstein is quick to appreciate how cannily Christie is positioning himself. In 2002, the website names him its Politician of the Year. It constantly touts his prospects for higher office, attaching corruption-busting before every mention of his name.\n\nAnd there is so much corruption to bust!

In a statement explaining the decision, Archbishop Robert Carlson cited concerns over Girl Scouts USA's \"position on and inclusion of transgender and homosexual issues,\" among other factors.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 93, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ac27fd29026138b8fd0ef874324bf3989c924da5", "raw_chars": 1074, "clean_chars": 880, "edit_ratio": 0.7544, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Royal Jordanian Airlines made a last-ditch pitch to travelers, encouraging people in the Middle East to visit the United States before a potential Donald Trump presidency.

Reporter Alison Parker and photojournalist Adam Ward were conducting a live report from Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta when a gunman opened fire, killing Parker and Ward and injuring Vicki Gardner, the head of a local Chamber of Commerce who was being interviewed. Hospital officials later reported that Gardner was in stable condition.\n\nThe suspect was quickly identified, in part due to video footage captured at the scene, as Vester Lee Flanagan, 41, a former reporter for the station who also used the name Bryce Williams. Franklin County Sheriff Bill Overton announced that Flanagan had died. He had suffered a gunshot wound when taken into custody by Virginia State Police following a car chase that occurred hours after the shooting; authorities had initially stated that Flanagan was in critical condition. During a news conference at 2:15 p.m., Overton confirmed that Flanagan had died at Fairfax Inova Hospital in Northern Virginia from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.\n\nVirginia State Police had previously described how the suspect fled the scene and eventually reached Interstate 66, with police in pursuit. The suspect refused to stop, ran off the road, and crashed. When officers approached the vehicle, they found he had sustained a gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.\n\nIn an interview with CNN, Jeffrey A. Marks, the general manager of WDBJ-TV, stated that Flanagan had been hired as a reporter but was fired about two years earlier. Marks noted that Flanagan had filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after his termination. The station reported that the shooting occurred during a live broadcast around 6:45 a.m. Parker was 24 years old and Ward was 27; both were from the WDBJ7 viewing area.\n\nVideo footage shows the camera panning to Parker in the middle of an interview as the gunman opens fire, with Parker heard screaming. The final image in the video shows the camera falling to the ground and the feet of the presumed gunman walking out of the frame. Hours after the shooting, a video from the gunman's perspective was posted to Twitter and Facebook under the name Bryce Williams. It shows a gunman quietly approaching the live broadcast, looking toward the photographer whose back was turned, and then pointing his gun at Parker before opening fire.\n\nA man claiming to be Flanagan also sent a 23-page fax to ABC News, in which he stated he had \"been a human powder keg for a while\" and took action following the church shootings in Charleston, South Carolina, in June.

The officer seemed unaware of Green's identity. \"What are you doing there?\" was the first thing Green said he heard the officer say, just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday.\n\nGreen felt like a suspect in his own neighbourhood, describing the experience as intimidating, frustrating, and angering. His story highlights the emotional and psychological impact that police activity in a diverse city can have on those on the receiving end of it. Activist and journalist Desmond Cole wrote a Toronto Life article detailing the dozens of times he has been stopped by police. Being asked random questions by police while minding one's own business, especially when it happens repeatedly, leaves a lasting impression. This impact is a key reason cited by those who oppose carding and street checks.\n\n\"After years of being stopped by police, I've started to internalize their scrutiny,\" wrote Desmond Cole, a writer and activist whose story of being stopped and questioned dozens of times by Ontario police officers was published last year. \"I've doubted myself, wondered if I've actually done something to provoke them.\"\n\nGreen had to stay and wait for his bus, but the idea of walking away from the officer never crossed his mind. \"In theory my Charter rights allow me to walk away,\" he said. \"I know in that particular situation it was somewhat of a psychological detainment.\" The officer was \"obviously in control enough\" of the situation to hold up a handful of cars for the conversation, Green noted. \"As an elected official, I wanted to try to cooperate with him and answer the questions as fully as I possibly could, and I think walking away at that time would have escalated the situation,\" Green said.\n\nIncidents like these may be something an officer quickly forgets as part of the day, Cole said in an address to the Ontario Bar Association. But the person who was questioned? \"You don't forget being stopped,\" Cole said.\n\nGreen, who has thousands of Twitter followers and a public platform as an elected official, can talk publicly about what happened, get it off his chest, and hope for change or at least increased awareness. However, he wonders what would have happened if an officer had found another Black man leaning against a wall on that Tuesday afternoon, perhaps one who is not as accustomed to talking with police for his job. \"What would it have been if I was younger? I'm not sure how I would have responded to that as a younger man,\" Green said in an interview on Bill Kelly's CHML talk show. \"It's a dehumanizing process when you have to justify yourself to somebody for being where you are.\"\n\nRaheem Aman, a 23-year-old McMaster student who plans to be a lawyer and ran for the Green Party on the Mountain in last year's federal election, shares similar concerns.

When snow falls in his neighborhood, Mitch Fisher is always ready to help. \"I take care of the neighbors. They're all elderly and I like to help them out,\" Fisher said.\n\nFisher's community service of plowing streets and sidewalks for free is so highly regarded that he was featured in a segment on a local news station in December. \"I try to clean my spot and all the neighbors around me so we have a nice area to park and pull in,\" Fisher said last month. \"Also, hopefully, so no one gets stuck in front of my house.\"\n\nHowever, his good deed did not go unnoticed by revenue collectors.

Even if extraterrestrials found and figured out how to work the Golden Record, would it play anymore?\n\nActually, yes, experts say.\n\n\"The gold records that were launched into space were specially constructed discs for the purposes of space travel,\" said Peter Alyea, a digital conservation specialist at the Library of Congress who specializes in audio recordings. \"I believe they were designed to last for a very, very long time and so should still be playable. This kind of disc is not something you could buy commercially at a record store.\"\n\nAnd besides, Voyager's Golden Record has thus far been kept safe from the elements—high temperatures, oxygen, water—known to deteriorate Earthly records.

The Golden Record, after all, is more of a time capsule than a broadcast. (It doesn't even include any hip-hop, which was still in its cultural nascence the year the Voyagers were launched.) Of course many of the record's sounds have retained the timeless quality they must have had four decades ago—like this greeting from Kurt Waldheim, then the secretary general of the United Nations:\n\nWe step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship—to teach if we are called upon, to be taught if we are fortunate.

The 700 million tons passing through the canal in 2007 was over 9 percent of an estimated 7.7 billion tons carried by global shipping. Merchant shipping carries more than 90 percent of the world’s traded goods by volume.\n\nIn May, the advisory Joint War Committee of Lloyd’s Market Association designated the strategic channel at high risk of \"war, strikes, terrorism and related perils\".\n\n\"But it’s just a recommendation, and some underwriters may not follow it for their very important clients,\" Mukundan told Reuters. \"Costs have not gone up. Of course, if you are hijacked they go up quite significantly.

Another 1 million have been driven from their homes.\n\nThere are many theories about who exactly is behind the latest spate of hijackings.

There was almost perfect agreement between cluster assignment and individuals' self-reports of racial/ethnic identification as white, black, East Asian, or Latino. Sternberg and Grigorenko disagree with Hunt and Carlson's interpretation of Tang, noting that \"Tang et al.'s point was that ancient geographic ancestry rather than current residence is associated with self-identification and not that such self-identification provides evidence for the existence of biological race.\"\n\nAnthropologist C. Loring Brace and geneticist Joseph Graves disagree with the idea that cluster analysis and the correlation between self-reported race and genetic ancestry support biological race. They argue that while it is possible to find biological and genetic variation corresponding roughly to the groupings normally defined as races, this is true for almost all geographically distinct populations. The cluster structure of the genetic data is dependent on the initial hypotheses of the researcher and the populations sampled. When one samples continental groups, the clusters become continental; if one had chosen other sampling patterns, the clusters would be different. Kaplan (2011) therefore concludes that, while differences in particular allele frequencies can be used to identify populations that loosely correspond to the racial categories common in Western social discourse, the differences are of no more biological significance than the differences found between any human populations (e.g., the Spanish and Portuguese).\n\nEarl B. Hunt agrees that racial categories are defined by social conventions, though he points out that they also correlate with clusters of both genetic traits and cultural traits. Hunt explains that, due to this, racial IQ differences are caused by these variables that correlate with race, and race itself is rarely a causal variable. Researchers who study racial disparities in test scores are studying the relationship between the scores and the many race-related factors which could potentially affect performance. These factors include health, wealth, biological differences, and education.\n\nGroup differences", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 136, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "3135a0582e5ff9fa01aa47d72fb24c7887c2586b", "raw_chars": 2717, "clean_chars": 2717, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The connection between race and intelligence has been a subject of debate in both popular science and academic research since the inception of IQ testing in the early 20th century. There remains some debate as to whether and to what extent differences in intelligence test scores reflect environmental factors as opposed to genetic ones, as well as to the definitions of what \"race\" and \"intelligence\" are, and whether they can be objectively defined. Currently, there is no non-circumstantial evidence that these differences in test scores have a genetic component, although some researchers believe that the existing circumstantial evidence makes it at least plausible that hard evidence for a genetic component will eventually be found.\n\nThe first test showing differences in IQ test results between different population groups in the US was the tests of United States Army recruits in World War I. In the 1920s groups of eugenics lobbyists argued that this demonstrated that African-Americans and certain immigrant groups were of inferior intellect to Anglo-Saxon whites due to innate biological differences, using this as an argument for policies of racial segregation. Soon, other studies appeared, contesting these conclusions and arguing instead that the Army tests had not adequately controlled for the environmental factors such as socio-economic and educational inequality between blacks and whites.\n\nThe debate reemerged again in 1969, when Arthur Jensen championed the view that for genetic reasons Africans were less intelligent than whites and that compensatory education for African-American children was therefore doomed to be ineffective. In 1994, the book The Bell Curve argued that social inequality in the United States could largely be explained as a result of IQ differences between races and individuals, and rekindled the public and scholarly debate with renewed force. During the debates following the book's publication, the American Anthropological Association and the American Psychological Association (APA) published official statements regarding the issue, both highly skeptical of some of the book's claims, although the APA report called for more empirical research on the issue.\n\nHistory of the debate\n\nClaims of races having different intelligence were used to justify colonialism, slavery, racism, social Darwinism, and racial eugenics. Racial thinkers such as Arthur de Gobineau relied crucially on the assumption that black people were innately inferior to whites in developing their ideologies of white supremacy. Even enlightenment thinkers such as Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner, believed blacks to be innately inferior to whites in physique and intellect.\n\nEarly IQ testing", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 141, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "30c7a15af660985eb63194ce13301aee42f8fc1b", "raw_chars": 2445, "clean_chars": 2274, "edit_ratio": 0.7504, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park have successfully printed transparent transistors on transparent paper. The resulting device is flexible and up to 84% transparent, representing a potential first step toward green, paper-based electronics.\n\nPrinting computer circuits is not inherently difficult; it primarily requires finding the right conductive and semiconductive inks, which can be challenging, and then printing them onto a suitable substrate to form a transistor. However, because these ink-based printed circuits are extremely thin, the smoothness of the substrate is critical. When dealing with ink layers only a few nanometers thick, even minor blemishes on the substrate can disrupt electron flow and break the circuit.\n\nRegular paper is typically too irregular for this purpose, as its bumps and blemishes are measured in micrometers. To overcome this, the University of Maryland researchers utilized nanopaper, a material created from wood pulp that has been specially treated with enzymes and mechanically beaten. Nanopaper possesses a much more regular structure than standard paper, making it stronger and transparent. Most importantly, it is smooth to within just a few nanometers. \"It's as flat as plastic,\" noted Liangbing Hu, one of the researchers involved in the project.\n\nUsing this nanopaper, the researchers created transistors by printing three distinct inks: a layer of carbon nanotubes, followed by a dielectric ink, then a semiconducting ink, and finally another layer of nanotubes. These nanotubes serve not only as electrodes but also as a structural backbone. The final transistors achieve up to 84% transparency and continue to function even when bent.\n\nLooking ahead, it is easy to envision flexible, printed devices that are responsibly sourced using renewable materials. The high transparency of these printed circuits could also be valuable for cosmetic reasons in wearable computing or for building displays. Before such applications can be realized, however, the researchers must develop a method for producing these transparent transistors using roll-to-roll printing or another commercial, mass-producible process.\n\nResearch paper: DOI: 10.1021/nn304407r – \"Highly Transparent and Flexible Nanopaper Transistor\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 136, "chunk_idx": 10, "raw_sha1": "6520295037ce2c50bc8a741760886316b22d25ee", "raw_chars": 3072, "clean_chars": 2539, "edit_ratio": 0.0953, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At least 10 µg/dL.

For example, childhood exposure to lead, associated with homes in poorer areas[81] causes an average IQ drop of 7 points,[82] and iodine deficiency causes a fall, on average, of 12 IQ points.[83][84] Such impairments may sometimes be permanent, sometimes be partially or wholly compensated for by later growth. The first two years of life is the critical time for malnutrition, the consequences of which are often irreversible and include poor cognitive development, educability, and future economic productivity.[85] The African American population of the United States is statistically more likely to be exposed to many detrimental environmental factors such as poorer neighborhoods, schools, nutrition, and prenatal and postnatal health care.[86][87] Mackintosh points out that for American blacks infant mortality is about twice as high as for whites, and low birthweight is twice as prevalent. At the same time white mothers are twice as likely to breastfeed their infants, and breastfeeding is highly correlated with IQ for low birthweight infants. In this way a wide number of health related factors that influence IQ are unequally distributed between the two groups.\n\nThe Copenhagen consensus in 2004 stated that lack of both iodine and iron has been implicated in impaired brain development, and this can affect enormous numbers of people: it is estimated that one-third of the total global population are affected by iodine deficiency.

The agency and the company have been long-time partners through NASA’s commercial cargo and commercial crew programs, and this continued cooperation is an extension of that relationship. It is likely that NASA, with its assets in orbit around Mars, will help facilitate communication between the Red Dragon and Earth. However, NASA is not providing any funds to support the effort to land a Dragon on Mars.\n\nWhat is in it for NASA?\n\nSoft-landing on Mars is complicated because of the planet's extremely thin atmosphere. According to Tabatha Thompson, a spokeswoman for NASA, the agency is interested in potentially cribbing from whatever techniques SpaceX uses to slow and land the Red Dragon. \"The collaboration offers NASA the potential flight technology demonstration of critical entry, descent, and landing for human exploration—particularly supersonic retro-propulsion—in the Mars atmosphere,\" Thompson explained. \"SpaceX has sought NASA’s support because the agency has unique expertise in deep space exploration in areas such as deep space communication and navigation.\" A successful mission may also open the door to future cooperation between SpaceX and NASA's aims to return soil samples from the surface of Mars.\n\nHow much will it cost?\n\nSpaceX isn't saying. The Falcon Heavy list price for a launch is $135 million, and then there’s the cost of the Dragon spacecraft, the mission planning, executing and monitoring the flight, and any number of other factors. Industry sources speculate that the cost probably would be in the range of $300 million to $500 million for a soup-to-nuts mission. That's just a guess, though—no hard numbers are available.\n\nWhy is SpaceX doing this?\n\nBecause Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars. As noted earlier, one of the most important first steps is figuring out how to land stuff on the red planet, which has a thin atmosphere and therefore doesn't provide a very effective medium for aerobraking. A spacecraft must attain a great velocity (and therefore invest a lot of energy) to reach Mars in six to nine months, and once it's there, it must then somehow shed that energy and slow down. Musk believes the upgraded Dragon 2 spacecraft will be able to use its eight SuperDraco engines to hammer away at its velocity and then land on Mars in a powered descent, similar to the way the Apollo Lunar Module landed on the moon. This too is technology NASA would be eager to see demonstrated.\n\nBut the only way to be sure is to give it a try without cargo or people. If this test works, Musk will have checked one of many boxes required to safely send humans to Mars.\n\nDoesn’t NASA have plans to go to Mars, too?\n\nYes, NASA says it's on a Journey to Mars, although there is some skepticism in the aerospace community about how real that venture actually is.

The group's founder, May Otis Blackburn, reportedly received revelations directly from angels. Along with her daughter, Ruth Wieland Rizzio, she believed that the archangel Gabriel had charged her to write books revealing the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, as well as the secrets of life and death.\n\nNewspaper articles from the period reported strange rituals, including animal sacrifices, sex scandals, and attempts to resurrect a dead 16-year-old girl. Police discovered the corpse of Willa Rhoads under the floor of the Rhoadses' residence, wrapped in spices and salt and surrounded by the bodies of seven dead dogs. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoads later confessed to police that they had placed their daughter in the tomb fourteen months earlier at the suggestion of May Otis Blackburn. The cult was also accused of killing a member in an oven, poisoning another during a \"whirling dervish\" ceremony, and causing several other members to disappear.\n\nIn 1929, group leaders were indicted in Los Angeles for grand theft and investigated in connection with the disappearances of several members. These indictments created a sensation once the background of the grand theft was revealed to the public. May Otis Blackburn was charged with twelve counts of grand theft, and contemporary articles referred to her as a \"cult leader.\" According to Time magazine, the Blackburn Cult was also known as \"The Great Eleven,\" and May Otis Blackburn was referred to as the \"Heel of God.\"\n\nThe cult collapsed after May Otis Blackburn was imprisoned for stealing $40,000 from Clifford Dabney.\n\nDecades later, the group's history was depicted in theatrical productions. In October 2007, actresses playing May Otis Blackburn and Ruth Rizzio appeared in the Ghost Tour at Strathearn Park in Simi Valley, California. The actress portraying Blackburn noted, \"May Otis is really fun and flamboyant. She's a cult leader. Who wouldn't want to play a cult leader?\" The Ghost Tour at Robert P.

She is Plaid's first female leader, the first to be a non-fluent Welsh speaker, and the first to come from outside the party's traditional heartlands in north and west Wales. Born and raised in the Rhondda valleys, where she still lives, her political awakening occurred during the miners' strikes of the 1980s. Unlike many of her peers, Ms Wood turned to Plaid Cymru rather than Labour. A former probation officer and lecturer in social work, she was hired as a researcher by MEP Jill Evans. In 2003, Ms Wood realized her own political ambitions by entering the Welsh Assembly as a regional AM for South Wales Central. Nine years later, the staunch republican, who is considered to be on the left of her party, was elected leader after promoting her economic vision for an independent Wales. Arguably her biggest personal triumph came in the previous year's Welsh Assembly elections when she won the Rhondda seat by defeating former Labour minister Leighton Andrews. During the 2015 general election campaign, Ms Wood enjoyed significant UK media coverage, but this high public profile did not translate into an increase in seats at Westminster, as the party remained at three. She is not standing in this election, although there was speculation that she would run in the Rhondda.

Following spells as a primary school teacher and deputy head teacher, he was elected to Parliament in 2005 when he won the Ceredigion seat from Plaid Cymru. Mr Williams remained a Lib Dem backbencher when Nick Clegg took the party into the Westminster coalition with the Conservatives in 2010. He was re-elected as the Lib Dems' sole MP in Wales in 2015. In 2016, he was named leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, replacing Kirsty Williams, who stepped down after a disastrous assembly election left her as the party's only remaining AM.

Halcyon City has had more than its fair share of superheroes, superteams, supervillains, and everything in between. Over the course of three different generations of super-people, Halcyon City has seen it all.\n\nYou play members of the fourth generation, young adults trying to figure out who they are and what kind of heroes they want to be. The rest of the world is telling them what to do, but they’ll find their own path amidst the noise. And kick some butt along the way. After all, what’s the point of being a hero if you can’t fight for the things you believe in?\n\nMasks is based on the award-winning Powered by the Apocalypse system developed by Vincent Baker and used in Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, Urban Shadows, and more. It’s a rules-light system that fuels some of the best innovations in gaming in the last ten years, and Masks has been built from the ground up to incorporate everything I’ve learned about Powered by the Apocalypse games.\n\nWhen you take an action that would trigger a move, you roll two six-sided dice, add them together with one of your Labels (a stat that describes your hero), and look to the move to see what the results are. On a 10+, you get what you want, and maybe a little extra. On a 7-9, you get what you want, but at some kind of cost or with a complication. On a 6 or less—a miss—the GM says what happens next, and chances are things get complicated for our young heroes.\n\nMasks produces stories like those found in Young Justice, Teen Titans, Young Avengers, X-Men, and more, using the Powered by the Apocalypse rules to provide an easy but useful skeleton for awesome storytelling!\n\nMasks was successfully Kickstarted!

Every level has a list of challenges with specifics that will keep you searching for the right Pokémon or executing the correct number of moves before you can unlock bonus capsules that sometimes contain Pokémon for your collection.

Such requirements may seem excessive and tedious, but if you really care about completing the collection, you will do just about anything, raising the replay value to fully beating the game somewhere in the week to month range.

It is a pretty cool feature: with the touch of a button, you can take a picture of your game and share it with the Pokémon online community. There is a lot of new stuff being unveiled in this title, and it feels more like an introduction of things to come rather than a stand-alone game, which probably explains its low pricing of $17.99.\n\nThe graphics are flashy and fun to look at, but sometimes there is so much going on in the screen that it is easy to lose track of your character.

Throughout the world of music and the many musical styles that exist today, Turkish cymbals remain highly respected for their unique and diverse sound. In many companies, production is still carried out in the traditional way.\n\nThe History\n\nCymbal production began in Turkey in the 1200s. The cymbals created at that time served a single purpose: they were used by the marching band of the Ottoman Army. These instruments were crafted by Armenian master artisans. The secret to their production has remained just that—a secret—ever since. The man behind the formula for the perfect cymbal was Avedis Zildjian. \"Zilci\" means \"master creator of cymbals\" in Turkish, and \"Yan\" means \"the son of\" in Armenian, thus translating to \"the son of the cymbal master.\" In 1623, with the permission of Sultan Murat IV, the now world-renowned company Zildjian was founded. Towards the end of the 17th century, Westerners discovered the existence of these cymbals and began to incorporate them into their orchestras. During the 1780s, the cymbals began to be used in military bands as well as in the orchestras of Haydn and Mozart.\n\nIn 1851, Avedis Zildjian's son, Kerope Zildjian (whose name is found in the K-series), began showcasing cymbals at expositions, helping the company transition into the European market. In 1909, with the aid of the Ottoman Empire, the company was able to build a second factory elsewhere. The cymbals produced bore the description \"Made in Turkey, Istanbul\" and, later in modern times, were used by some of the world's most famous musicians, including The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Cream, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Guns N' Roses.\n\nThis craft passed through the generations until, after the death of the final grandson Mikal Zildjian, the world awaited the end of the legend and its secret cymbal formula. However, it was the nine-year-old apprentices of the final artisan who saved the legacy. They knew everything. Their names were Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk, and the company was to be called Istanbul. Thanks to them alone, the legend could continue to live on to this day in Istanbul. In 1981, the company started to reproduce the traditional cymbals in an Istanbul studio. After Agop's death in 1996, Mehmet continued making them, but it was Agop's son who then stepped in. He claimed his father's section of the company, and the Agop cymbals were separated. Like that, the company was divided into Istanbul Mehmet and Istanbul Agop. These days, Turkish cymbals are produced (in the traditional way and with the traditional formula) only by the companies Istanbul Mehmet-Agop, Bosphorus, Turkish, Pasha, Sabian, Amedia, Masterwork, and Diril.\n\nIf we return to Zildjian, the son of Michael Zildjian left for the United States in 1929 and opened a cymbal factory. These, however, were not handmade like the originals. It was the grandson of Mikael, Bob Zildjian, who became the creator of the well-known brand Sabian.\n\nCreation", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 213, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7f2fd6e66e250672eb24410342a96b18c499bc50", "raw_chars": 3259, "clean_chars": 1960, "edit_ratio": 0.8866, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Nick Falco, an independent investigator, was banned for life from the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino and the MGM property after being escorted out of his room by armed guards and an FBI agent.

This makes it much more difficult to pull yourself back out. “People are living on a razor’s edge. … You haven’t had a chance to build up any savings.”\n\nThe goal of social assistance programs, Marrone argues, should be to get people into sustainable financial situations so they stay off social assistance, rather than simply get them out of the program as soon as possible.\n\nWhen social assistance becomes ‘a trap’\n\nAbout 45 per cent of people who leave Ontario Works to rejoin the job market are back on welfare within two years, according to the province’s Tedesco. Frances Lankin, the former head of Toronto’s United Way, co-authored a report on how to reform Ontario’s social assistance framework. She says there’s too much focus and too many resources devoted to policing the program rather than helping people get off assistance, and stay off.\n\n“It’s not a joy, being on welfare,” she said. “Social assistance can become a trap. So if minimum wage is very low and if the jobs available have no prospect of becoming decent, middle-income jobs … let’s say you’re a single parent with a kid with asthma, all of a sudden you’ve got a moral decision: Do you go back to work and get a job that pays a fraction more … but has no drug coverage to pay for the asthma drugs for your kid? That’s not a decision that, ‘Oh, I am lazy and don’t want to work.’”\n\nAt the same time, Lankin said, people in that position are faced with fewer options. “A number of the supports outside social assistance have become frayed over time. And people can’t live on the margins. So they fall into social assistance quicker and it’s harder to get back out.”\n\nOn bad days, Mignon is overwhelmed with the juggling her life entails, swamped by self-doubt. Graduation feels far away, the prospect of subsequent employment iffy. On good days, she has plans: Getting Michael into a better school. Moving – maybe someday to a white-picket home in the suburbs around Toronto, with a backyard for Michael. Graduating from Centennial and working in community economic development.\n\n“I know what it’s like to be on both ends of the spectrum – to have financial security and to be very, very, very insecure, financially,” she said. “I think that, as Canadians, we kind of have rose-coloured glasses on where our economy really is.”\n\nTell us your story: Have you given up on the job market?

Meanwhile, women’s participation rate, which had been rising steadily since the 1950s, has remained largely stagnant since 2006.\n\nCanadians want to work. Many are settling for temporary, seasonal, or part-time jobs, lacking the stability of pensions or benefits, simply to remain in the workforce. Yet for many, the numbers simply do not add up. Some return to school, others accept seasonal or contract work, and some simply give up.\n\nJillanne Mignon quit her job because she could no longer afford it. She had been working a decent position for the city of Winnipeg’s 311 service, a job she had left her university program to take so she could support her toddler son, Michael. However, even with that salary, she found herself trapped in a cycle of debt just to pay for child care. \"When there’s a subsidy, there are no spaces. When there are spaces, there’s no subsidy,\" she explained. \"When you have people depending on you and you can’t give them all that you want, it’s nightmarish.\"\n\nUltimately, she realized it just didn’t make sense. \"I’m going to work to pay for childcare because I don’t want to be on welfare,\" she said. \"But then it’s better if I go on welfare because then I don’t have to worry about childcare, because welfare won’t force me to go to work until my kid is six. So I’m tired. And I don’t know what I want to do. It’s like banging your head against a wall.\"\n\nSo she quit her job, moved to Toronto where the combination of family support and all-day kindergarten helped with child care, swallowed her pride, and went on welfare. \"When you have student loans and you still have to go on welfare, that hurts,\" she said. \"Because you’ve tried to educate yourself so you don’t have to be dependent on the government for social assistance.\"\n\nIt sounds like an inconceivable decision—to abandon a decent job in favour of a meagre social-assistance program that has become associated, inaccurately according to evidence, with sloth and system-scammers.

For both men and women aged 25 to 54, it is 86.1 percent, the lowest since 2002. For men aged 25 to 54, it is 90.4 percent, the lowest since at least 1976. Ontario’s participation rate for the same age group, at 65.9 percent, hasn’t been this low since 1998. In British Columbia, under two-thirds of the working-age population is in the job market, the lowest percentage since at least 1990.\n\n\"It is indicative of a weak economy, no question,\" said Mike Moffatt, an economist with the Mowat Centre and the Ivey School of Business.

There are those who are entirely supportive, which typically includes those who create, administer, and grant certified status. Then there are many who argue that certification is a fool's game because it rests on rote memorization and does not truly prove ability. Finally, there are those who do not care about the debate; they simply want to remain employable. This article is for the latter group.\n\nAs the computing world shifts and moves ever faster toward greater virtualization, cloud computing, and software-defined everything, you need new skills and knowledge to stay ahead and remain competitive. Here is an overview of infrastructure-related certifications and the specific areas you should consider.\n\nCertification Pros and Cons\n\nNot everyone likes the idea of certification. Many argue that certifications merely show that someone passed a series of tests, not that they are good at actually doing the work of an IT infrastructure professional. The post-nominal letters spelling out a certification also do not address someone's work ethic, compatibility with a given corporate culture, inventiveness, or other characteristics that are critical in hiring. This is a valid point. Memorizing all the possible settings for a piece of hardware or software may save some time, but it fails to determine whether someone would be a good infrastructure employee.\n\nAmong the arguments for gaining certifications, the biggest factor is the human resources perspective. The dynamics of hiring employees are difficult at many companies. Hiring managers tell HR professionals the characteristics they want in candidates for a given position. The HR staff then looks for all the specific requirements the hiring managers mentioned, including certifications, for two reasons.\n\nOne reason is that no one in corporate America wants to be caught making a blatant mistake. If HR focuses on what the manager wanted, their actions are safe. Another reason is the ability to reject candidates. This is not a game or an act of hard-heartedness so much as an action of self-preservation. An advertisement could bring in hundreds of résumés, and someone has to go through them. If they make certifications a requirement, they can eliminate anyone who doesn't meet the profile. Of course, there will be some highly experienced people who could perform the job without having the certification, but the HR staff won't have the expertise to tell, and they don't want to pass along unknown quantities and turn the interview stage into a wild goose chase.\n\nEven if it seems unfair or narrow, you will likely need certifications to safeguard your future as an infrastructure professional who has access to the widest job market.\n\nFuture-Proofing Your Certifications Portfolio\n\nThe question is what types of certifications you will need in this changing realm of computing and infrastructure. Paradoxically, that means starting with what you need for traditional computing.\n\nNew approaches to computing do not eradicate all the investment in hardware and software that has taken place over the years. There is still a need for data centers at many companies, whether because of particularly strong security or regulatory requirements.

By using charcoal to filter the color and taste from their brews, they were able to deliver a vaguely citrus-tasting drink with 4.7 percent alcohol content. The company asked third-party marketing firm Lexicon Branding to give it a name; Jane Espenson, who would later become a staff writer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Game of Thrones, dubbed it Zima, the Russian word for \"winter.\"\n\nArmed with a $180 million budget for the 1994 launch, Coors peppered television with commercials featuring a spokesman who exchanged his s's for z's. (\"What's your zign?\") They also pushed a slew of merchandising and even an early consumer-use product website.\n\nThe goal was to get Zima on the minds and into the hands of young males. Owing to the blanket advertising assault, that's exactly what they accomplished. Zima sold a staggering 1.3 million barrels' worth of product in 1994, giving it a near-instant 1 percent market share in the booze industry. It was estimated that 70 percent of all drinkers tried the \"malternative.\"\n\nAs Coors would soon learn, those numbers only work in your favor if people like the product. The company was disappointed to learn that many of them didn't: Men found the taste off-putting. And those who enjoyed it were precisely the demographic they were looking to avoid.\n\nWomen who normally passed over beer embraced Zima, giving it an effete quality that marketing considered to be grim death for the valued male customer base. If a man couldn't feel manly taking a pull of the clear stuff, he'd be likely to reach for something else.\n\nOn the public relations side, Coors was also having to defend itself against charges that teenagers were growing fond of Zima because its smell was harder to detect than regular beer (it had almost no odor) and was easier to consume out in the open. A rumor surfaced that Zima wouldn't set off a breathalyzer, which Coors was forced to debunk in letters addressed to police chiefs and school officials.\n\nUnfortunately, being in the beer business and having to write letters to superintendents means that something has already gone very wrong. By 1995, Zima's sales dropped by half; in 1996, they dropped nearly in half again. David Letterman began mocking it on his talk show. Coors tried to entice the hip crowd, launching Zima Gold, which had a more liquor-like taste, but they weren't fooled. Zima XXX and its higher-volume alcohol content (5.9 percent) followed, all to diminishing returns.\n\nNothing could recapture that early intrigue: Citing poor sales, Coors, which eventually merged with Miller to become MillerCoors, discontinued Zima in 2008—but that wasn't quite the end.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 246, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "0b32542a55c9692736f9d38d0732a3edf0a4f043", "raw_chars": 2197, "clean_chars": 2265, "edit_ratio": 0.3097, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Rise of the Tomb Raider is the first Lara Croft game developed specifically for the current console generation.

Over the years, she has evolved through increasingly detailed polygonal representations and fluidity of movement, culminating in today’s motion-captured avatar. Consequently, making her look great has consumed a significant amount of Crystal Dynamics' attention.\n\n\"Making a human being is the most challenging thing when creating video games,\" says Yu. \"Technological advances help us get there, but it needs a lot of skills. To make a believable character you need a good concept, the right model, shaders, animation, and performance.

Powell, Jr. In 1974, he wrote, \"Under the First Amendment, there is no such thing as a false idea.\" This was not a decree that the world brims with truth. He meant that we rely on the marketplace of ideas, rather than on judges and juries, to sort out truth from falsehood and to continually check our understanding of the truth. The Justice was restating the central tenet embraced in New York Times v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court's most important decision about freedom of speech and of the press in 1964. The Court extended the scope of the First Amendment to libel law and held that even if a citizen stated or a newspaper published criticism about a public official that was incorrect, that mistake could be punished as libel only if the critic knew or suspected that the criticism was false. In 1967, the Court applied this rule to public figures as well.\n\nThe premise of the marketplace applies broadly, not just to libel law. The First Amendment protects a lot of harmful speech, including much that is incendiary, offensive, and untrue. That protection covers President Trump, even if he does not believe the torrent of falsehoods he has uttered. Experts on crowd size estimate that his Inauguration attracted a crowd of about a hundred and fifty thousand, but Trump is free to say that there were as many as a million and a half people there. Public officials who oversaw the 2016 election reported that there were scant numbers of votes cast illegally—virtually none compared to the more than 137.7 million ballots cast in total—but Trump can claim that, had it not been for massive voter fraud, he would have won the popular vote, which Hillary Clinton won by 2.9 million votes, or 2.1 percent of the total.\n\nJustice Oliver Wendell Holmes introduced this concept into American law almost a century ago, writing that \"the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.\" That includes Trump's views that journalists are \"among the most dishonest human beings on Earth\" and \"the enemy of the American people,\" and that the federal appeals-court ruling that struck down his first travel ban, a month ago, jeopardized the security of the country.\n\nA wide body of scholarship has poked holes in Holmes's idea. Fifty years ago, Jerome A. Barron, of George Washington University Law School, instructed that the marketplace fails because it assumes incorrectly that all citizens have access to it, that truth is always among the ideas in the marketplace, and that citizens are rational and will see the truth, rather than being irrational or simply subjective.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 241, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8efb1ccd821e82c03dbac842ce529a47509a607c", "raw_chars": 3441, "clean_chars": 3421, "edit_ratio": 0.063, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Visitors to the shrine chant prayers to the saint.

Manghopir has become one of Karachi's no-go zones, where violence and crime are so rampant that security forces refuse to enter. These pockets of lawlessness within Pakistan's largest city have become safe havens for the Taliban, say analysts. In early November, five tortured bodies were found in the area; police have no leads or pending investigations into the crime. Shaikh notes that elsewhere in Karachi, homeless men seeking refuge in various shrines are found beheaded simply for practicing their religion.\n\nIn January, at another shrine in the city, police found a scroll of paper inside the mouth of a man who had been beheaded. The note, signed by the Pakistani Taliban, said that worshipping Sufi saints was blasphemy and forbidden by Islam.\n\nBaba Mohammad, an elder patron of Manghopir's shrine, says he believes the Taliban consider the local Sufi community a threat. The Sufi culture that thrives in Sindh is one reason the Taliban haven't made bigger inroads in the province, he says.\n\nBut more and more people are drawn to the Taliban's brand of Islam. Mohammad's grandson, Mohammad Bilal, began taking classes three years ago at a local madrassa.

The West and Midwest each had 20 percent of hospitalizations, while the Northeast claimed 16 percent. More than a third of patients treated in the South were uninsured.\n\nDr. Thomas Weiser, an associate professor of surgery, and Sarabeth Spitzer, a medical student, analyzed inpatient hospital records to conclude that the initial hospitalization of patients wounded by guns over the eight-year period cost Americans more than $6.6 billion. The researchers used a sample of more than 250,000 patients admitted to American hospitals with gunshot injuries.\n\nThe average cost per hospitalization was $24,746. Patients with government-funded Medicaid or Medicare were responsible for roughly 40 percent of costs in the survey period. Uninsured patients were accountable for about a quarter of the costs.\n\nThe costs attributed to the South alone were $2.7 billion.\n\nThe medical community is in near unanimous agreement that owning a gun increases the risk of being shot, whether intentionally or in an accident. As Americans continue to purchase firearms at breakneck pace, this reality has public safety implications: Every year, roughly 110,000 people are shot in the United States. This epidemic also has financial ramifications for the institutions that must treat victims: Most of the roughly 80,000 people who are wounded by a bullet annually enter the healthcare system, incurring massive costs.\n\n“For every one person who dies from a gunshot, there are three or four people who survive,” Weiser said. “At the end of the day, injuries are associated with a cost. And that’s a cost that’s [often] borne by taxpayers.”\n\nThe study draws from a survey of 20 percent of American hospitals conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

In this article, you are going to hear one: mine. I do not write this with venom. The men I have been involved with were handsome, smart, charming, and talented. There were good times, but the bad times outweighed them.\n\nMost people do not know I have been in emotionally abusive relationships. From the outside, I would bet my life looks pretty great. Some parts of it always were. I guess I am proof that there is no likely candidate for abuse.\n\nFor a long time, I found my romantic past embarrassing, confusing, and very sad. I did not want to talk about my experiences because I thought that my kind of pain was self-inflicted. If I was stupid enough to stay, I deserved it.\n\nBut when the Jian Ghomeshi scandal happened, it was all I could think about. When people first sided with Ghomeshi and not his victims, I was so mad I started shaking. When I started listening to Serial, I had recurring dreams about Hae Min Lee. I was obsessed with figuring out who killed her. Then, I started dreaming of all my ex-boyfriends again.\n\nTrauma is a funny thing. It hides in the shadowy corners of your mind, resurfacing when all you want is for it to be erased from your memory forever.\n\nI am writing this for a lot of reasons. Some of them are: I think abusive relationships are an epidemic in our society. It could help someone understand their friend, their sister, their daughter who keeps going back. It could help someone who keeps going back. Because articles like this helped me. Because what trauma really wants is a voice.\n\nTo anyone who needs help:\n\nYou think you are crazy. You are anxious all the time. Your heart beats quickly. You have a lot of questions for your boyfriend that you do not feel like you can ask. You wonder if you are always being lied to. You spend a lot of time in the past, likely when you first fell in love with him.\n\nYou apologize constantly. When you explain your fights to anyone who will listen, no one understands why you are apologizing. You are always confused. You are high as a fucking kite when he is nice to you. He says \"one small thing,\" and with an embarrassing clarity, you are reminded of all the parts of yourself you hate. How can he see those parts so clearly?\n\nYou cry a lot. Sometimes you know why. Sometimes you do not.\n\nYou are not crazy.\n\nWhen you are with your boyfriend, you are usually with just him alone. You feel weird around your friends and family, the people you used to feel the most yourself around. You can't remember how to feel like yourself anymore. Now, being in your own skin is like a long dull headache that won't lift and then feels like normal. Pretty much all your thoughts about yourself are negative.\n\n\"I used to be funny, why aren't I funny anymore?\"\n\nYou think you are crazy.\n\nThere will be good days with your boyfriend. There will be miraculous days of exquisite and suffering beauty between you two. On these days, you will feel better than the best and like everything is okay. You will believe that the chaos has made you stronger; that he loves you more than anything. These days are bright spots in the darkness that has descended upon you.

Memory is going to be a strange thing for you for a while. Grief is a delusional state.\n\nWe really loved each other. I could have helped him if I had tried harder. I'm not perfect. And sometimes, I don't think love should feel like this.\n\nThe latter will be quieter, the former will roar inside you. Some days, you will think you left the most beautiful relationship and the truest love in the whole world. Other days, you will think you are just hysterical and crazy, and that you weren't being abused at all.\n\nUntil very recently, I still had days like that.\n\nAfter you break up with him, you might not feel an immediate sense of relief, empowerment, or really anything that resembles the thought, \"I know this is the right thing.\" You will likely feel very alone. Unfortunately, coming out of the fog with your eyes open is more painful than slipping into one without noticing.\n\nBut remember: feelings aren't the truth. You aren't the worst off you've ever been. Expect the sadness. It sounds crazy, but welcome it. That sadness is going to live in you for a long time, and it will teach you a lot. I know you don't believe me, but that sadness is your friend. That sadness is your becoming.\n\nNot everyone you lose is a loss.\n\nTell your story no matter how murky the details seem at first. Keep talking. Read every article you can find on abuse until you feel an intellectual understanding of what happened tunnel into you emotionally. The head will come first; your heart will follow, and it will all become clearer.\n\nTalk to your friends. Talk to your family. I promise you have more than one person in your life who can sympathize with you in the deepest of ways. You know someone who has lived through this. Maybe it's your mom. Maybe she modeled this kind of love for you.\n\nIf you're lucky, like I was, you'll find a therapist who can help you. There are also a lot of free resources. There are a lot of great 12-step meetings you can attend. Free counseling is available.\n\nWhen getting help, you will have to reflect on your relationship. Don't blame yourself for not leaving sooner, and don't let anyone else blame you, either. In moments of trauma and shock, the brain has a funny way of protecting itself. It's called dissociating. You have done a lot of this.\n\nYou will remember that about three months in, your ex-boyfriend did something, and it was like a mask was lifted. He showed you a person you had never met before. I mention this because statistically, an abusive person will do something that throws you completely off balance within the first three months. Then, they will be really sorry.\n\nYou will come to learn that real love is not a cycle of cruelty, effusive apologies, a honeymoon period, followed by a dreaded waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then more cruelty. Abusive relationships are defined by this pattern.\n\nWhen you do leave, you will realize that the space your relationship took up was enormous. It was, whether you knew it or not, the monkey on the back of every thought you had.

But when I crossed the finish line in South Carolina and saw the clock was way lower than ever before, I flipped out!\n\nIn 2012, while a senior at Columbia, I was able to use a few connections to gain a late entry into a small Monday night 1500-meter race at Swarthmore College. Training had been going really well, and racing was on a sharp upswing. I stepped on the line calm and ready, knowing that the 3:39 Olympic Trials qualifying time was well within reach of my fitness. The plan was just to follow the leader and slowly move up in the field. We strung out immediately, and with the help of Nick Willis pacing for 1300 meters, I ran splits of 59, 58, 57, and 41 for the American Collegiate Record of 3:35.59.\n\nA couple of years later, I had a conversation with Nick about why that race was so fast, and I think he summed it up perfectly: Most rabbits go out fast, slow down, and step off after their slowest 100 meters. Now the athletes behind have lost their momentum and have to shift gears again to head into the kick. In that race, we were wound up and released.\n\nIf your goal is to break five minutes in the mile, you can most likely find a race that would set you up for a chance to do it. It is nice in high school and most of college to have so many prospective races set up to get the times you are chasing. Unfortunately, at the professional level, you have to earn the right to be in those races unless you get lucky by being in the right place at the right time, as I was at Swarthmore and Furman. Once you reach the Diamond League level, you have world-class rabbits and competition that produce sub-3:35 races with regularity. At a certain level, you run into this problem again since 3:26 to 3:29 races are extremely rare, and getting rabbits that are capable of coming through in 2:45 is a tall order.\n\nFrom Swarthmore until Furman, the fastest race I had been in was a 3:38.5 race last summer in the 'C' heat at Heusden-Zolder, which I won. Saturday night at Furman, I was lucky enough to be in a fast race that ran from the gun. We had a fresh and capable rabbit, as well as a couple of brave runners who were fearless about attacking the pace and chasing the standard. But as noted, these opportunities are special, and it is of utmost importance to capitalize on them when they do come. And hopefully then, you run fast enough to climb the ladder and get into the next tier of professional meets.

In each case, we conceive of ourselves as free agents, consciously guiding our bodies in purposeful ways. But what does science have to say about the true source of this experience?\n\nIn a classic paper published almost 20 years ago, psychologists Dan Wegner and Thalia Wheatley made a revolutionary proposal: The experience of intentionally willing an action is often nothing more than a post hoc causal inference that our thoughts caused some behavior. The feeling itself, however, plays no causal role in producing that behavior. This could sometimes lead us to think we made a choice when we actually didn't, or think we made a different choice than we actually did.\n\nBut there's a mystery here. Suppose, as Wegner and Wheatley propose, that we observe ourselves (unconsciously) perform some action, like picking out a box of cereal in the grocery store, and then only afterwards come to infer that we did this intentionally. If this is the true sequence of events, how could we be deceived into believing that we had intentionally made our choice before the consequences of this action were observed? This explanation for how we think of our agency would seem to require supernatural backwards causation, with our experience of conscious will being both a product and an apparent cause of behavior.\n\nIn a study just published in Psychological Science, Paul Bloom and I explore a radical—but non-magical—solution to this puzzle. Perhaps in the very moments that we experience a choice, our minds are rewriting history, fooling us into thinking that this choice—that was actually completed after its consequences were subconsciously perceived—was a choice that we had made all along.\n\nThough the precise way in which the mind could do this is still not fully understood, similar phenomena have been documented elsewhere. For example, we see the apparent motion of a dot before seeing that dot reach its destination, and we feel phantom touches moving up our arm before feeling an actual touch further up our arm. \"Postdictive\" illusions of this sort are typically explained by noting that there's a delay in the time it takes information out in the world to reach conscious awareness: Because it lags slightly behind reality, consciousness can \"anticipate\" future events that haven't yet entered awareness, but have been encoded subconsciously, allowing for an illusion in which the experienced future alters the experienced past.\n\nIn one of our studies, participants were repeatedly presented with five white circles in random locations on a computer monitor and were asked to quickly choose one of the circles in their head before one lit up red. If a circle turned red so fast that they didn't feel like they were able to complete their choice, participants could indicate that they ran out of time. Otherwise, they indicated whether they had chosen the red circle (before it turned red) or had chosen a different circle. We explored how likely people were to report a successful prediction among these instances in which they believed that they had time to make a choice.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 304, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "03f5040393fdff3f41c6a05ee434c8d2f12a0caf", "raw_chars": 3015, "clean_chars": 2691, "edit_ratio": 0.9071, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I recently discovered that one of my associates uses her Roth IRA as an emergency fund. Instead of placing money into a low-yield savings account or another cash account, she utilizes her retirement account for this purpose. While the basic rules of a Roth IRA technically make this arrangement feasible, it is important to proceed with caution and think things through carefully before relying on your Roth IRA as an emergency fund.\n\nIn theory, a Roth IRA can function as an emergency fund due to its withdrawal rules. You are permitted to withdraw your contributions at any time and for any purpose, regardless of your age. This means you can take money out of your Roth IRA without incurring penalties or taxes, provided you are only withdrawing funds that you have contributed through regular annual deposits. As long as the withdrawal amount does not exceed your total contributions, you will not owe penalties or taxes. However, keep in mind that previous withdrawals reduce your available contribution amount.\n\nYou must be careful, though, because withdrawing from your Roth IRA can become costly if not done correctly. If you are under the age of 59 and a half and exceed your contribution amounts (with certain exceptions), you may face a 10% penalty and owe income taxes on the excess amount. Ensure you understand the rules before withdrawing money from your Roth IRA to cover financial emergencies.\n\nEven if you avoid penalties and taxes by withdrawing only your contributions, you still face opportunity costs. The money in your Roth IRA is working for you, potentially earning interest at a decent rate depending on your asset allocation and market conditions. By withdrawing principal, you miss out on this growth. You cannot replace the time that money would have spent in your Roth IRA, benefiting from the power of compound interest.\n\nOn the other hand, some argue that the opportunity cost is actually higher when you keep money in a low-yielding cash account as an emergency fund. Because your money theoretically grows faster in a Roth IRA, the compounding interest at a higher rate may offset the loss from withdrawing some contributions for emergencies.\n\nUltimately, your decision should depend on what you believe will work best for your individual needs. If you plan ahead sufficiently, you can build a substantial amount in your Roth IRA. For this strategy to work, you must ensure that you only withdraw contributions in cases of true emergencies. If you treat your Roth IRA like an ATM, you could quickly deplete your contributions and then face penalties when you withdraw earnings.

Rather than begin an expensive and time-consuming redesign, an unnamed space official simply altered the conditions of the testing until the engine passed. UPI’s source noted that they tested the engine ignition process at a temperature much higher than it would be in flight. This was done because when the engines were first tested at the low temperatures predicted after the long cruise from Earth to Mars, the ignition failed or was too unstable to be controlled. So the test conditions were changed in order to certify the engine performance, but the conditions then no longer represented those most likely to occur on the real space flight. The source concluded, \"I'm as certain as I can be that the thing blew up.\"\n\nThat potential failure mode was not known from very early on in the mission, but only at the very end. Following the September loss of the first spacecraft due to management errors, NASA had initiated a crash review of the Mars Polar Lander to identify any similar oversights. According to UPI’s source, the flaws in the engine testing were uncovered only a few days before the landing was to occur on December 3. By then it was too late to do anything about it.\n\nThe brief account of the UPI article is garbled almost beyond recognition, casting serious doubts on the reading comprehension level of the author who did this section. The specific software problem with the landing leg sensor scenario was not known before the landing at all, and the UPI article clearly states that it was discovered after the crash. The Mars Polar Lander investigation team has also reportedly identified a second fatal design flaw that would have doomed the probe even if the engines had functioned properly. Post-accident tests have shown that when the legs are initially unfolded during the final descent, springs push them so hard that they bounce and trigger the microswitches by accident. As a result, the computer receives what it believes are indications of a successful touchdown, and it shuts off the engines. Ground testing prior to launch apparently never detected this because each of the tests was performed in isolation from other tests. One team verified that the legs unfolded properly, and another team verified that the microswitches functioned on landing. In a simple reading comprehension verification test, this one incident indicates a severe problem with the book's authors' ability to understand and restate simple English about space technology. In one sentence, there were three swings, and three misses—three strikes.\n\nBy the way, after NASA's official denunciations of the UPI story I had written (I have the honor of being the only journalist ever denounced by name in an official NASA press release), the story turned out even worse than I had written. Space engineers hadn't fudged the test results, after all. My source was wrong about this, this time, the first occasion in a long sequence of accurate leaks. What was far worse was that NASA had decided that any such tests weren't even necessary. The engine ignition system was never tested at temperatures expected out at Mars, because JPL said the engine had already flown in space on some other mission and so didn't need to be requalified.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 307, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "85574d7377271d114661f224dc14d001753b9499", "raw_chars": 3162, "clean_chars": 3210, "edit_ratio": 0.5013, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A downtown councillor is urging the city to extend the deadline for heritage grants intended to preserve the 19th-century storefronts of Gore Park, which are slated for redevelopment.

Consequently, the buildings are set to endure a second winter with their interiors exposed, and their condition continues to deteriorate.\n\nThe city had pre-approved $1.1 million in grants contingent upon the developers designating the buildings as historic, but these grants have not yet been applied for.

The authors assert that NASA violated the \"first rule of space travel,\" which they claim is that you never turn off the radio, and suggest that this mistake meant no cause for the probe's loss was ever satisfactorily determined. In reality, whether a radio is turned on or off, practically all orbital insertion burns on lunar and planetary missions occur out of radio contact. This is a result of the geometric alignment of the probe passing behind the planet or moon, which blocks its radio signals. Therefore, keeping a probe's radio turned on during these periods is about as useful as installing windshield wipers.\n\nTo my knowledge, there is no \"first rule of spaceflight\" about never turning radios off. Interplanetary probes do this all the time, and the \"rule\" is imaginary. I cannot find any documentation that provides this rule, and I suspect the authors of \"Dark Mission\" simply imagined it. Furthermore, the maneuver that Mars Observer was to perform was not, as the book claims, a \"key pre-orbital burn.\" It was not a burn of any kind. Instead, it was the firing of explosive bolts to open two pressurant tanks, which would allow the fuel to be pushed into the probe's engines several days later. There is nothing \"inexplicable\" about turning off the radio for the firing of these pyrotechnic bolts.\n\nThe sharp shock of the detonations was thought to be a hazard to the hot filament in a key radio component, which is much less brittle when cold. Hot filaments can shatter under shocks that cold ones would not even notice. This is clearly explained in online documents, including the accident report. You only have to search \"Mars Observer accident report\" to be led to the 313-page \"Failure Investigation Board Report.\"\n\nIn accordance with the mission's published flight rules, the transmitter on the spacecraft had been turned off during the propellant-tank pressurization sequence on August 21. To protect the spacecraft radio frequency transmitter from damage during the pressurization sequence, albeit a very low probability, the software included a command to turn off the Mars Observer transponder and radio frequency telemetry power amplifier for a period of ten minutes. This was a standard procedure that had been implemented several times earlier during the mission. The report gave further details: \"This sequence included the firing of two normally-closed pyrotechnic valves, that would allow high-pressure gaseous helium to pressurize the nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer tank and the monomethyl hydrazine fuel tank.\" More on page 25 of the report: \"Concern existed in the Mars Observer project team that the pyro-firing event might damage the traveling wave tube amplifiers in the spacecraft telecommunications system if the amplifiers were left on.\"\n\nNor is it true that \"no cause for the probe's loss was ever satisfactorily determined,\" as \"Dark Mission\" claims.

They will also have a rare chance to spawn at specific mob locations. Eventually, we plan to implement backstories for these monsters, allowing players to unlock the lore of each one. Similar to champion spawns, we intend to add new unique items to these mobs' loot tables at a later date.\n\nRespawn Scaling\n\nAnother mechanic arriving with this patch is our first iteration of respawn scaling. This will eventually be applied to all new player spawns to help manage spawn rates for players who can clear spawns quickly. The faster you kill mobs, the faster they will respawn, and potentially the number of spawns will increase. This is not dependent on how many people are present at the spawn, but rather on how efficient you are at clearing the spawn itself.\n\nDecreasing Tedium in Gearing\n\nThere are multiple changes coming with this patch to how you can gear and de-gear in the game.

There is a lot of work required to get the Task System implemented, as it needs new tracking of mechanics and a brand new UI, along with the flexibility to expand it past the new player guidance.

The city attorney's office stated at the time that the case was prompted by community complaints about possible prostitution activity at a south Minneapolis business.\n\nWhen assistant public defender Briana Perry took the case, she emailed Moriarty the 36-minute audio recording of the encounter between Officer Steven Lecy and the woman at the massage parlor, describing the officer's behavior as \"just disgusting.\" Moriarty forwarded the case to City Attorney Susan Segal and requested a dismissal, but Segal declined.\n\nThe recording reveals that after nearly 30 minutes of small talk about tattoos, the weather, and Lecy's broken hand, the officer compliments the woman's anatomy. He then interrupts the massage and asks the woman if she wants him to flip onto his back. She begins touching his genitals as part of a naked \"body-to-body\" massage, and Lecy can be heard moaning. A few moments later, he says the words \"repeat customers,\" a code to backup officers indicating it is time for an arrest. The backup officers then enter the room.\n\nMoriarty noted that Lecy arrived two hours late for the dismissal motion hearing and was surly and clearly upset.\n\n\"The Police Department has undercover female officers who do detail like this,\" Moriarty said. \"Do you think they would allow themselves to behave in any sort of sexual manner?\"\n\nIn a dismissal order issued in court on Tuesday, Hennepin County Judge William Fisher ruled that probable cause for a crime could have been established long before the sexual activity recorded on the tape. Lecy's attorney had argued that the touching was necessary to make the encounter a crime.\n\n\"What must it have been like for this woman to have this happen and find out it was a police officer?\" Moriarty asked.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 341, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2bc356409ea1c3126ebe583cb20b225d50f0af48", "raw_chars": 3392, "clean_chars": 2871, "edit_ratio": 0.5769, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Beijing has ordered all affected Bitcoin exchanges to post a notice of their closure by midnight on Friday.

Squids, octopuses, cuttlefish—you name it, if it’s a bilateral mollusk with a big head, Nelson is positively gaga over it. Nelson is a Seattle-area poet, and you can understand how a poet might fall in love with tentacled sea creatures: They’re romantic figures, skulking in the ocean—part of the great marine biosphere, but also remote from whales and fish. Those articulate limbs and big brains set them apart, leaving them to skulk and mope fabulously. And they even produce their own ink! How could a poet not land on Team Cephalopod?\n\nBut Nelson is more science-minded than your average poet. She’s a co-founder of the Vis-á-Vis Society, which applies scientific rigor to crowd-sourced poems, often employing large crowds at parties to write, Mad Libs-style, a series of poems about love and longing. No other poets in town, likely, have dissected a poem into pie charts on a whiteboard while wearing a lab coat.\n\nOn her own, Nelson loves to tease out the poetry in science, finding resonance in the long and mysterious Latin words and phrases we’ve used to name the world. One of my favorites of her poems is “The First Photograph,” which explains the process that created a blurry heliograph by the father of photography, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce:\n\n“Through the pinprick it all came to us,\nhow close we were, upside down,\nseveral hours on the windowsill.\nWe were surfaces arranged to receive.”\n\nThe poem concludes:\n\n“Yet I capture you. Close to the sun.\nI coated my longing in bitumen.” Much has been written about the way photographs capture a moment in time, but rarely is that desperate need so beautifully overt.\n\nSo yes, there’s whimsy in Nelson’s celebration of all things squid and squidlike. But there’s also serious investigation and a questing mind, fusing science and art and seeing what happens. Every year since 2015, she’s been presenting Cephalopod Appreciation Societies—arts celebrations with music, film, visual art, poetry, and speeches. Past participants have included musician Lori Goldston, biologist Stephanie Crofts, marine cinematographer Laura James, and novelist Kevin Emerson, and presentations have included stickers, classes on incorporating marine biology into creative writing, octopus-themed animation, and sea-shanty singalongs.\n\nThis Sunday’s Society is in a different setting: not the creative hub of Hugo House, as in past years, but at Waterfront Space, a gallery on Western Avenue. Nelson encourages participants of all ages to come dressed as their favorite cephalopod, and she promises there will be a “mini-parade” to the waterfront, presumably where she will call on a giant squid to rise from the deep and cast judgment on Seattle. Will we be destroyed by the mammoth monster from the briny depths? Or will our suction-cupped friend recognize the like-minded intelligence in our eyes and guide us to a happier future? Only our molluscular overlords know for sure.\n\nWaterfront Space, 1400 Western Ave. Free. All ages. Noon, Sun., Aug. 20. Paul Constant is co-founder of The Seattle Review of Books.

It may be that the small number of tested domains are, on average, ones for which liberals score higher on complexity, and that the counterbalancing domains have yet to be tested. As such, before fully deciding on the question of whether or not liberals and conservatives differ in complexity in a domain-general way, it is worth first more fully exploring ideology × topic domain interactions on a wide range of topics (see also Duarte et al., in press).\n\nTo that end, the present research attempts to show how two of the major complexity-relevant areas most typically used as evidence of conservative simplicity (Jost et al., 2003; Van Hiel et al., 2010) might be accounted for by ideology × domain interactions.

Finally, for Study 2 only, we measured the value pluralism participants felt relevant to the topic they wrote about.

As a result, the best direct comparison with prior work showing conservative simplicity is dialectical complexity. Second, this focus makes conceptual sense, because dialectical forms of complexity most clearly map on to the “rigidity of the right” idea. It is in their inability or unwillingness to think about things from different points of view that conservatives are supposed to be lacking, and dialectical complexity best captures that aspect (see Conway et al., 2008). Third, our results are inferentially stronger and more consistent using dialectical forms of complexity, and thus we acknowledge that part of our decision to present this set of results is ad hoc. However, we also performed all analyses using the larger integrative complexity construct, and the overall pattern of results in most cases is similar (see footnote 12 for details). It is indeed noteworthy that the key moderating effects reported here are strongest for the form of complexity (dialectical complexity) on which conservatives are supposed to be weakest.\n\nUsing dialectical complexity below in Studies 2–4, we show that, contrary to the conservative simplicity hypothesis, no main effect emerges of ideology on complexity. Instead, these results are better characterized by an ideology × topic domain interaction.\n\nStudy 2 Method\n\nParticipants\nOver a three-year span, 1,529 undergraduate participants at the University of Montana completed questionnaire packets, usually in large sessions exceeding 100 persons. Complexity Question Stems\nParticipants completed one of 13 possible question stems that mostly dealt with political and social issues (example topic stems include “death penalty,” “abortion,” and “organized religion”). These questions were later coded by trained scorers for integrative complexity. Most of these items were chosen because they had been previously assessed for their heritability in one of two prior, well-known heritability research programs (Eaves, Eysenck, & Martin, 1989; Martin, Eaves, Heath, Jardine, Feingold, & Eysenck, 1986; see Conway et al., 2008; Conway et al., 2011 for descriptions of topic selection).\n\nComplexity Coding\nStudy 2 was scored by coders who had taken an intensive training course and achieved a .85 reliability score with an expert integrative complexity coder and who had subsequently received training in scoring the subconstructs. Responses were coded by 4–5 coders in “blocks” of around 500 responses each. For each block, every coder of that block scored all participants (and thus all topics) for that block. Thus, summary scores provided below are the average of 4–5 coders for each participant. To check for reliability, we computed standardized alphas for each block separately (because all coders scored all responses in each block, an alpha is an appropriate metric of reliability). Reliability on each of the different blocks was satisfactory, with standardized alphas for dialectical complexity ranging from .86 to .89 (M = .88).\n\nIdeology Measurement\nAll participants completed the same two continuous measurements of political ideology used in Study 1.

The ad hoc strategy we employ is useful for quickly illustrating that the nature of the interaction across topics is equal on both sides in a manner that allows for easy comparison across studies. Second, this strategy helps simplify additional analyses, as it provides a straightforward way to test the effect of potential explanatory mechanisms. Although we recognize that this method has the potential of exaggerating the strength of the interaction effect, it is important to note that two of the three domain ideology interaction terms are significant without any ad hoc organizing. The one that is not significant has such small cell numbers and so many topic domains that it would be hard to find an interaction term. Thus, we think this ad hoc method is a constructive way of summarizing these studies that accurately captures the nature of the data.\n\nStudies 2 and 3 have 423 overlapping participants, as those participants completed an item used in both studies. As in prior research using this dataset, the correlation was negligible and not statistically significant.\n\nAlthough there are solid conceptual and practical reasons for treating liberalism and conservatism as a dichotomous variable, we ran several sets of additional analyses using conservatism as a continuous variable. First, we used regression and correlation analyses to test the key interactions from Studies 2 and 3 while keeping political conservatism as a continuous measurement. In particular, we correlated political conservatism with complexity within each topic domain, created an ad hoc dummy variable representing the top and bottom tertiles for the conservatism-complexity relationship, and then ran a regression entering standardized political conservatism, topic domain, and their interaction term on complexity.

Conservatives are indeed more dogmatic in the religious domain, but liberals are more dogmatic in the environmental domain. It might be easy to dismiss these effects as merely reflecting the content preferences of liberals and conservatives, and thus as not reflecting anything about dogmatism per se. However, there are two reasons why we think such a dismissal would be premature.\n\nFirst, the dismissal is a double-edged sword. If the question is whether prior results suggest that conservatives are more dogmatic, then simply dismissing our results as only having to do with content raises the possibility that all dogmatism scales are picking up on content primarily, rather than dogmatism itself. Second, and more importantly, a quick dismissal of these findings does not capture the subjective nature of the items themselves. For example, consider that liberals scored higher on the following questions regarding dogmatism: \"There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are for the truth that the planet is warming and those who are against that obvious truth.\" \"When it comes to stopping global warming, it is better to be a dead hero than a live coward.\" \"A person who thinks primarily of his or her own happiness, and in so doing disregards the health of the environment (for example, trees and other animals), is beneath contempt.\"\n\nThe subjective tone of those statements is not merely \"I am an environmentalist,\" but rather \"all people who disagree with me are fools.\" In these and other items from the scale, liberals are consenting to categorizing the world into only two kinds of people, those that are right and those that are wrong; a scorn of those unwilling to die for a cause; a belief that persons who disagree with them are beneath contempt; a belief that the only method for understanding the truth is to rely on experts; an expression that true living involves believing in their cause; and an appeal to the temporal urgency of the cause. Those are not just statements about having an environmental position; they are explicitly and overwhelmingly dogmatic statements. And liberals are more likely to agree with such sentiments in the environmental domain.\n\nStudies 2–4: Integrative Complexity is Domain-Specific\n\nThe dogmatism measurement used in Study 1 has been widely used to make a case for conservative simplicity, but it is not without its problems (see Van Hiel et al., 2010). It is dependent on participants' own self-perceptions and willingness to express them, and it also contains explicit ideological content. Although, as we have discussed, that \"ideological content\" argument cuts both ways and does not undermine our present purpose, it would nonetheless be advisable to also use a more open-ended measure that ameliorates some of these problems.\n\nWith that in mind, we turn next to one such open-ended measurement of the complexity of thinking: Integrative complexity (e.g., Suedfeld & Streufert, 1966; Suedfeld & Tetlock, 1976; see also Harvey, Hunt, & Schroder, 1961; Schroder, Driver, & Streufert, 1965).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 378, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "cedbb47ff6fa19dc0c2bc32d2d3da6c1b32b8db5", "raw_chars": 3392, "clean_chars": 3349, "edit_ratio": 0.0604, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Organ designers, chief drone experience designers, and cybernetic directors are some of the fanciful new roles that could be created by the global design industry in the coming years.

Should a generation of creatives who grew up worshipping Apple’s Jonathan Ive put all their eggs in the industrial design basket?\n\nWe talked to a dozen design leaders and thinkers from companies such as Frog, Artefact, and IDEO to find out which design jobs could die out in the next 15 years, and which could grow. There’s no empirical evidence behind these picks, so they shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Still, they represent the informed opinions of people who get paid to think about the future.\n\nDesign Jobs That Will Die\n\nUX Designers\n\nUser experience designers are among the most in-demand designers working today. So how could their jobs disappear? According to Teague designers Clint Rule, Eric Lawrence, and Matt McElvogue, “UX design” has become too broad and muddled. “The design community has played fast and loose with the title ‘UX designer,’” they write in an email. “From job posting to job posting and year to year, it jumps between disparate responsibilities, tools, and disciplines. Presently it seems to have settled on the title representing democratized design skills that produce friendly GUIs.” In the future, they predict that UX design will divide into more specialized fields. “The expanding domain of user experience and its myriad disciplines will push the title ‘UX designer’ to a breaking point, unbundling its responsibilities to the appropriate specialists,” they say.\n\nVisual Designers\n\nVisual designers are the ones responsible for the way an app looks. UX designers, meanwhile, are the ones who concentrate on how it feels. A lot of times, designers do both, but going forward, jobs that require just visual design skills are going to die out. That’s according to Charles Fulford, Executive Creative Director of Elephant, the San Francisco-based, Apple-centric stealth arm of the digital agency Huge. “Gone are the days of UX dumping a ton of wireframes on visual designers,” he says, as well as “the days of visual designers being clueless about usability.” What are needed instead are designers who can not only come up with the look of an idea, but make it real, with actual programming and prototyping skills. Rob Girling, cofounder of the design consultancy Artefact, agrees. “In the next 10 years, all visual design jobs will start to be augmented by algorithmic visual approaches,” he says. After all, design companies are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to create previously impossible algorithmic designs, as well as crunch UX data on millions of users. “An AI-powered tool can automatically provide a designer with 100 variations of a layout, based on some high-level template, or style definition . . . We see early versions of these algorithmic procedurally generated tools already in use by game designers.” For example, the 17 billion planet universe in the recent blockbuster video game No Man’s Sky was largely generated algorithmically. The short version? If you’re a visual designer, it’s time to diversify.\n\nDesign Researchers", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 378, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "ac3db7c1d252c10cf1629b7b8bcdeac02717a605", "raw_chars": 3362, "clean_chars": 2792, "edit_ratio": 0.2834, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As every object becomes connected—from your couch to your fitness bracelet, the hospital room to your wallet—we need to think about connected experiences, says Artefact’s Markus Wierzoch.

For example, the designer of the future, charged with designing an electrical toothbrush, will need to make sure their toothbrush can connect to an app, give users brushing stats, as well as plug into the future smart home. It’s just not enough to design something that cleans your teeth well anymore. Someone has to be responsible to stitch complex experiences together, says Argodesign’s Mark Rolston.\n\nDesign researchers may find fewer opportunities in the next 15 years, but Artefact’s John Rousseau thinks design strategists will be indispensable. The importance of design strategy will grow, he says. Future design strategists will need the ability to understand and model increasingly complex systems—for example, social media networks or supply chains—and will design new products and services in a volatile environment characterized by continuous disruption and a high degree of uncertainty. In other words, a future defined by political, social, business, and tech disruption that can happen overnight. In such a future, Rousseau says, design strategists will be like ballerinas, dancing their companies in and out of trouble. It will be more of a dance, and less of a march.\n\nThe org chart of the future isn’t going to be the same as the org chart of the past. That’s why Ideo partner Bryan Walker thinks dedicated organization designers will be on hand, helping make companies more adaptive, creative, and prolific. These designers, he says, will help reimagine all aspects of an organization from its underlying structures, incentives, processes, and talent practices to its physical workplaces, digital collaboration tools and communications.\n\nGet used to working in your pajamas. According to Teague’s Clint Rule, Eric Lawrence, and Matt McElvogue, the future of design is freelance. Creative AI and global creative marketplaces will give individual designers on-demand access to skill sets previously only capable within large teams, they write. The result is a surge in the specialization, efficacy, and independence of the designer. In their vision, freelancers won’t just toil away in solitude; they’ll form a network of targeted micro-consultancies that compete with more traditional firms.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 382, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a35cd62a97201e0ec4b1fad9a5f2dacdc49350a8", "raw_chars": 1605, "clean_chars": 2491, "edit_ratio": 0.584, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The rankings, which span teams from number one through thirty-two, were determined by a panel of thirteen experts from NFL.com and NFL Network.

The incident at the Pemex tower should serve as a spur to privatize.\n\nDespite a much-publicized war against cartels, the real story of Mexico is one of moderately good economic growth, zero net illegal emigration, and a public sector financed by a budget showing a $1 billion annual surplus. But then there is Pemex, the supposed symbol of national sovereignty, which in reality is a millstone around Mexico's neck, holding the country back from far greater gains.\n\nPemex's many costs and debts are among the reasons why that $1 billion annual surplus is not $6 billion. It is also a major reason Mexico has $59 billion in debt. Its unionized workforce of 150,000 is one of the least efficient, yielding an average of $506,000 of revenue per employee per year. This is far below the $2.865 million each employee at the top five international oil companies brings in, according to a Baker Institute study.\n\nLess revenue leads to less investment and less safety. Oilmen will tell you every incident is different, and some accidents do occur at private firms, of course. But the overall Pemex record speaks volumes, with comparable events at its installations in 2012, 2010, 2007, 1993, and 1984.\n\nEven as Pemex costs the government, the government costs Pemex. Its earnings are effectively taxed at 60% to finance about a third of the government, leaving it miserably under-invested in its own production. Not surprisingly, Mexican oil production fell from 3.4 billion barrels a day in 2004 to about 2.5 billion barrels a day in 2012.\n\n\"The government vacuums the cash flow out of this company like an Electrolux because they need to support the government and social services. Is that how a private company behaves? Of course not,\" noted Garfield Miller, president of Aegis Energy Advisors. He explained to the International Business Times that private and public oil companies have different goals. \"When you are a government institution, almost by definition an instrument of social policy, your mission becomes inescapably broader than simply maximizing value for a narrow set of constituents,\" as occurs with private oil companies that answer to shareholders.\n\nThe situation is so bad in Mexico that it cannot take advantage of its vast new deepwater discoveries in the Gulf, just as the U.S.' highly efficient private companies expand production on the U.S. side of the Gulf and the shale revolution increases production as well.\n\nThings are so dire that Mexico is already importing gasoline from the U.S. and is expected to be importing oil by 2019. That is ironic for a country which, by national lore, considers oil a symbol of independence and has indoctrinated its people into believing it is therefore impossible to privatize.\n\nYet the hard facts worldwide show that privatized companies outperform public ones in technology, production, profitability, and safety.\n\nThe Baker Institute's 2007 study, \"Empirical Evidence of the Operational Efficiency Of National Oil Companies,\" impartially demonstrated that private companies operate better than public enterprises. The objectively calculated study of more than 80 companies concluded that, relative to economically efficient producers, a national oil company is likely to under-invest, over-employ, sell oil products at subsidized prices, and shift extraction of resources from the future to the present.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 394, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2e465e26ae9250fd5434397be57f3ac8e7d5c6c1", "raw_chars": 3319, "clean_chars": 3385, "edit_ratio": 0.2115, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I believe it takes a lot of strength to have faith, but there is something that takes even more strength.\n\nI was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the age of eight, I was baptized into the church and confirmed as a member. I wasn't the most obedient, but for the most part, I did what was expected of me. Then, at the age of fifteen, I began to question the doctrines I had been taught since before I could even speak. I believed, as the church taught, that if I did what I was supposed to do, everything would become clear to me. I thought that this doubt was coming from the devil. I believed that because I was dating when I shouldn't have been, I had let him into my life and allowed him to lead me astray. This doubt continued off and on for two years. After breaking up with my boyfriend, I was sure that I would gain clarity. I was doing what the Lord wanted me to do, so He would bless me with the truth. But this never came.\n\nI began to Google what I had been taught all my life was \"anti-Mormon,\" but when I did so, I was plagued with guilt. I would read for five minutes, exit out, and delete my browser history. I continued as if I hadn't read anything at all. I went to seminary, sacrament meeting, mutual, and other church activities. At this time in my life, guilt and confusion filled me.\n\nIt wasn't until I left for school that I really started to look into what I had been taught my whole life. I visited MormonThink.com and the subreddit r/exmormon. I read the CES Letter. I stopped going to institute and Sunday meetings. I started to realize that what I grew up believing was a con. The guilt and confusion I had been feeling for the past three years floated away. That left room for anger, sadness, and worry. Initially, I was furious. I was partially angry at myself for being fooled, but mostly at the LDS Church for fooling me and millions of others. I was devastated. I wanted so much to hold on to the church and its teachings. I wanted my dream of being married in the temple, because what girl doesn't want to be married inside of a castle?\n\nAt first, it scared me to realize that everything I thought I knew about life was now a mystery to me. But most of all, I was, and still am, worried. I know I have a huge weight on my shoulders that will not be lifted until I tell my family of my disaffection. There is no doubt in my mind that they will not understand. They will believe that I have left because I want to \"be of the world\" and that I just want to sin. They will view me as weak for not having the kind of strength that is required to look past the things that led me away. I can't blame them, though. Four years ago, I would have thought the same thing.\n\nYes, I believe that having faith does require a lot of faith. But in my mind, greater strength lies in admitting that you may have been wrong. Greater strength comes from leaving everything you were taught and accepting that maybe you don't know everything about life. My strength has come from figuring out what I don't believe, despite the disappointment I will cause my family. It isn't easy to realize that you will never get to attend your siblings' weddings, or to know that there will always be a gap between you and your family.

That pitch was oil, which should have been a source of wealth and prosperity for the residents of Mosul and Iraq. Instead, the drive by U.S. imperialism to control Iraq's vast oil reserves led to the overthrow of the Iraqi government in 2003 and years of Pentagon occupation, wreaking terrible death and destruction on the Iraqi people. This suffering is nowhere more evident than in the city of Mosul.\n\nFor nearly nine months, 100,000 troops from the Iraqi central government and the Kurdish region, supported by 5,000 U.S. trainers, special forces, and U.S. air power, battled the Islamic State (IS) group, which had seized and occupied Mosul since 2014. This coalition dropped 29,000 bombs on the city. Mosul, the second-largest city in Iraq, had a population of 1.8 million in 2003.\n\nThe 2003 U.S. invasion and occupation took a terrible toll on the city's residents. During the battle with IS, approximately 897,000 people were displaced, leaving only 600,000 remaining in the city. During the eight-year occupation, U.S. and British officials maintained their rule by creating and exacerbating religious and ethnic conflicts. When most U.S. forces withdrew in 2011, the Iraqi government, supported by the U.S. and associated with reactionary sectarian militias, carried out punitive measures against resistance forces linked to the former ruling Ba'ath Party, which were often majority Sunni Muslim. Consequently, when IS forces invaded in 2013 and took control of Mosul in 2014, residents hostile to the Baghdad regime initially offered some support.\n\nOver time, however, the fanaticism and brutality of the IS regime caused Mosul residents to withdraw their support. As the battle for control raged, the population became hostages to the war between IS and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government.\n\nAirwars, a group monitoring casualties caused by the anti-IS coalition, estimates that at least nearly 6,000 civilians were killed in the western Mosul battle between February and June. Approximately 1,200 were killed by U.S. bombing, and uncounted thousands of bodies remain under the rubble. On March 17, a single 500-pound bomb dropped by a U.S. warplane on the al-Jadidia neighborhood of Mosul killed around 200 civilians.\n\nA report by Amnesty International, released a day after Iraqi forces declared victory in Mosul, stated that it had identified a pattern of attacks by Iraqi forces and the U.S.-led military coalition that violated international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes. The report also accused IS of committing war crimes by deliberately using civilians as human shields. In the same report, United Nations human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein told reporters that the women, children, and men of Mosul have lived through hell on earth, enduring a level of depravity and cruelty almost beyond words.

I remember emailing a reporter a snarky note after reading one of her pieces, asking, \"Are you practicing writing 'Mrs. Katherine Obama' in loopy script in your mash book?\" (The name was changed to protect the embarrassed.)\n\nObama was referred to in terms so glowing, so fulsome, and so toadying that it was easy to characterize the journalist class of 2008 as a group of fangirls squeeing and fainting at his every utterance. That nearly mindless adulation remained a strong element in Obama's coverage until he walked out of the Oval Office. Conservatives rightly mocked it, while recognizing that the normative power of media and pop culture had combined in one fell swoop to overcome Barack Obama's thin resume, his lack of experience, and questions about his ideological underpinnings.\n\nNow, however, writers who just two years ago would have torn the bark off Barack Obama for picking winners and losers or for advocating some form of pie-in-the-sky \"everyone gets covered\" single-payer-ish health care plan today direct a large fraction of their ire at media outlets scrambling to find a way to process the election and governance of Trump. Rather than examine his daily assaults on conservative values, common sense, and that little thing we used to value called \"the truth,\" they politely look away. Conservatives who have for decades sung the praises of free trade, low tariffs, and multilateral trade agreements now mutely nod at the brute stupidity of Trumpian economic populism, because at least he is battering CNN, The New York Times, and BuzzFeed.\n\nOf course, intellectual conservatism is a fairly small pool in the great scheme of things. What really mattered then and now is that a half-dozen gatekeepers in the conservative movement decided Trump would be lucrative fodder for their audience. They monetized the transition from promoting conservative ideals to selling the umber con man with the same vigor they use to pitch reverse mortgages, catheters, survival food, and gold.\n\nThis constellation of media players could have at any moment pumped the brakes on Trump and Trumpism during the 2016 election, and could do so now.

The latest twist came just this week, when the Department of the Interior, which is the Bureau of Land Management's parent agency, announced it was delaying implementation of the rule. Schlenker-Goodrich says the Western Environmental Law Center plans to sue.\n\nBack to defense. So far, some of that defensive action has been relatively easy. \"They pulled the plug on a lot of stuff without consideration of requirements they are required to go through to change the rules,\" says Michael Wall, the NRDC's litigation lead. For example, on inauguration day, Trump's chief of staff ordered all federal government agencies to immediately withdraw any last-minute rules made by the Obama administration that hadn't yet been published in the Federal Register. One of these rules had to do with mercury discharges from dentists' offices. On February 1, the NRDC filed the first environmental lawsuit of the Trump era, charging that the Environmental Protection Agency didn't go through the right procedures before rescinding the rule. Long story short, the NRDC caught them on a technical foul.\n\n\"This mistake probably reflects an interest by the administration in appearing to get something done without putting in the effort to make sure it was done right,\" says Wall. Trump's EPA eventually relented, and lo and behold the Federal Register finally published the rule this week.\n\nBut what the Trump administration's tactics lack in sophistication they make up in volume. His pan-deregulatory agenda has even environmental lawyers who survived George W. Bush's eight years of oil industry coziness on their heels. And that's on top of the usual threats to the environment and public health from various states, local governments, and private industries. So, in addition to litigating, these lawyers maintain intelligence networks to keep track of all the emerging patterns. \"We work with grassroots and community groups, or meet with individuals in coffee shops and cafes to learn about local issues,\" says Schlenker-Goodrich. He says they also maintain requisite ties in Washington, and use things like Freedom of Information Act requests to keep up on the latest machinations within the federal agencies.\n\nThe Standing Rock Sioux's court victory against the Dakota Access Pipeline is another type of defense. The tribe's case is essentially fighting to uphold the National Environmental Policy Act, a law passed in 1970 that requires federal agencies to review the environmental impacts of any of their activities. The Dakota Access Pipeline passes under Lake Oahe, which is actually a reservoir created by a dam built by the Army Corps of Engineers on the Missouri River. In early December 2016, after their prolonged standoff, the tribe successfully sued the Army Corps to withdraw the pipeline's easement under the lake. The Corps said it would begin looking for alternative routes, \"through an Environmental Impact Statement with full public input and analysis.\"\n\nThen came Trump's January 24 executive order.

The Abbess of Crewe is wholly set in a convent, but is well known to be a satire on the Watergate scandal.\n\nAnd that demonstrates a key feature of convents, fictional or otherwise – they are not actually mysterious hotbeds of unknowable religious transcendence or wickedness. They are communities like any other, with secrets, dramas and troublesome elections. And so, ideal as a vehicle for a good story: any closed community is interesting (see also: country house party, boarding school), there is an opportunity to have good strong female characters without their being framed by their relationships with men, and there is always the underlying question: \"Why did these women become nuns?\"\n\nRoman Catholic women of a certain age will remember being obsessed as teenagers with Kathryn Hulme's The Nun's Story, book and film – \"Is God calling me to be Audrey Hepburn?\" It's still a good strong read, and even more fascinating when you know the story behind it. It is a novel, but based on the life of the author's long-term companion, a former nun.\n\nOne aspect of nuns in books is that the names are confusing and you get your Sister Mary mixed up with Sister Maria – and apparently the considerable profits from The Nun's Story are languishing unclaimed because no one knows which nuns should have inherited them. More straightforwardly non-fiction are books from Karen Armstrong (Through the Narrow Gate) and Monica Baldwin (I Leap Over the Wall – so much the better name) dealing with the challenges of leaving the convent behind in, respectively, 1981 and 1949.\n\nOf course we all like to read about nuns going off the rails: Rumer Godden's Black Narcissus is an overwrought and enjoyable look at a convent in the Himalayas, and a nun who wants a last chance. There is also the very splendid Lambs of God by the Australian author Marele Day, with its feral nuns including sheep in their community. Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudun (overshadowed now by the 1971 notorious-in-its-day Ken Russell film) is non-fiction, full of hysterical and demonic sisters in 17th-century France. The book very much reflects its author's non-believing, child-of-the-enlightenment stance, though it's a rattling good read, and he does his best to be fair.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 426, "chunk_idx": 10, "raw_sha1": "8ed3f98f848601cdb37d72491b794ee8e9c0d0b3", "raw_chars": 3080, "clean_chars": 3083, "edit_ratio": 0.0102, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Yet the liberal arts, as we know, are dying. All the political and parental pressure is pushing in the other direction, toward the \"practical,\" narrowly conceived: the instrumental, the utilitarian, the immediately negotiable. Colleges and universities are moving away from the liberal arts toward professional, technical, and vocational training. Last year, the State University of New York at Albany announced plans to close its departments of French, Italian, Russian, classics, and theater—a wholesale slaughter of the humanities. When Garland enumerates the fields a state legislature might want to encourage its young people to enter, he lists \"engineering, agriculture, nursing, math and science education, or any other area of state importance.\" Apparently political science, philosophy, history, and anthropology, among others, are not areas of state importance. Zemsky wants to consider reducing college to three years—meaning less time for young people to figure out what to study, to take courses in a wide range of disciplines, to explore, to mature, to think.\n\nWhen politicians, from Barack Obama all the way down, talk about higher education, they talk almost exclusively about math and science. Indeed, technology creates the future. But it is not enough to create the future. We also need to organize it, as the social sciences enable us to do. We need to make sense of it, as the humanities enable us to do. A system of higher education that ignores the liberal arts, as Jonathan Cole points out in The Great American University (2009), is what they have in China, where they don't want people to think about other ways to arrange society or other meanings than the authorized ones. A scientific education creates technologists. A liberal arts education creates citizens: people who can think broadly and critically about themselves and the world.\n\nYet of course it is precisely China—and Singapore, another great democracy—that the Obama administration holds up as the model to emulate in our new Sputnik moment. It's funny; after the original Sputnik, we didn't decide to become more like the Soviet Union. But we don't possess that kind of confidence anymore.\n\nThere is a large, public debate right now about primary and secondary education. There is a smaller, less public debate about higher education. What I fail to understand is why they aren't the same debate. We all know that students in elementary and high school learn best in small classrooms with the individualized attention of motivated teachers. It is the same in college. Education, it is said, is lighting a fire, not filling a bucket. The word comes from the Latin for \"educe,\" lead forth. Learning isn't about downloading a certain quantity of information into your brain, as the proponents of online instruction seem to think. It is about the kind of interchange and incitement—the leading forth of new ideas and powers—that can happen only in a seminar.

We have taken the top 100 national retailers and reviewed their websites, media advertising, and in-store signage in an effort to help you know which companies are Christmas-friendly. Over the past seven years, OMM has stood firm in the 'War on Christmas.' Companies who used to refuse to acknowledge Christmas now have Christmas 'shops' inside their stores. Many of them now liberally use 'Christmas' in their advertising and in-store signage. Sadly, there are still some companies which refuse to use 'Christmas.' They continue to insult and offend Christian shoppers by sticking with their politically correct 'holiday' term.\"\n\nI love how the OMM can dogwhistle what is really a \"War Against Inclusion\" and pretend that when businesses attempt to be more inclusive during the holidays, they are somehow unfriendly to Christmas. I really don't understand why Christians feel insulted and offended when businesses use the word \"holiday\" instead of \"Christmas.\" It seems to imply that inclusion is bad, and that businesses must acknowledge our holiday exclusively or we will hurt them with our wallets.\n\nThe criteria for the review involved examining up to four areas to determine if a company was \"Christmas-friendly\" in their advertising: print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website, and/or personal visits to the store. If a company's ad has references to items associated with Christmas, such as trees, wreaths, or lights, it was considered an attempt to reach \"Christmas\" shoppers.\n\nSo even carrying your religious tchotchkes isn't enough for the AFA?

The movie from directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina has quickly become the top-grossing Pixar title ever in the market, with guitar hero Miguel and his trusty dog Dante tuning up $75.6 million after 10 days there ($80 million through Monday, based on local estimates). The sophomore Middle Kingdom session came in 148% above last weekend’s opening, pointing to the fantastic buzz and relatable themes.\n\nCoco led overall overseas play for the weekend, followed by Justice League, which came in at a higher-than-estimated $36.8 million, and helped to push Warner Bros. across the $3 billion mark at the international box office. Murder on the Orient Express (also better, at $23.7 million), Daddy’s Home 2 ($15.6 million), and animated Japanese title Fireworks, Should We See It From the Side or the Bottom? ($10.7 million in China) round out the frame’s Top 5.\n\nThe full international box office weekend on Coco was $69.6 million in 33 markets, for an offshore cume of $172.3 million and a global tally of $281 million. There are still such majors to come as Australia, Italy, Brazil, Korea, the UK, and Japan.\n\nPixar has traditionally been soft in the Middle Kingdom, but local auds are extra sweet on Coco. The movie had the second-best sophomore weekend ever for an animated film in the market, behind only Zootopia, and that title multiplied like rabbits with an ultimate $235 million there last year (after it was granted an extended run). This past week, Coco saw increases throughout with a No. 1 weekend that far outdistanced the market’s other players (including Justice League, which is moving close to $100 million at Chinese turnstiles).\n\nMarvel Coco, which saw another No. 1 performance domestically this session, earlier this week helped Disney across the $5 billion global box office mark for 2017. So did Thor: Ragnarok, which has now nailed $817.5 million worldwide. The hammer-wielder grabbed another $6.6 million this frame to lift the international cume to $526.1 million, passing X-Men: Days of Future Past’s $514 million.\n\nWarner Bros. In other superhero news, Warner Bros./DC’s Justice League dropped 48.5% from last weekend to lasso $36.8 million in the third outing, for an overseas cume of $371.8 million. The global total to date is $569.2 million. In highlights for the group, the China cume of $98.6 million (RMB 654 million) has now surpassed the lifetime totals of both Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to become the highest-grossing DC film ever in the PRC.\n\nElsewhere, Fox’s mystery train, Murder on the Orient Express, has crossed $150 million internationally, with strong openings in Italy, Korea, Indonesia, and Brazil. STX’s A Bad Moms Christmas decked the halls by passing $100 million globally, as did Lionsgate/Participant’s Wonder. And, Paddington 2 is this close to $50 million overseas.\n\nAs we wait for Star Wars: The Last Jedi to storm the world beginning December 13, next weekend will see expansions and holdovers while China gets a roster of new pics including Paddington 2, Only the Brave, Loving Vincent, and 47 Meters Down.\n\nIn the meantime, breakdowns and actuals on the titles above and others have been updated below.\n\nNEW\n\nDARKEST HOUR", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 451, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "d717b062f2af43375a064a1f0e769a91b543003b", "raw_chars": 1276, "clean_chars": 1404, "edit_ratio": 0.7201, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Public opinion alone does not automatically translate into public policy; it must be mobilized.

While certain gendered traits may be innate to an individual to varying degrees, gender expression is an aggregation of many such traits, occurring in an immense variety of combinations.\n\nAn imperfect but helpful breakdown of these concepts can be found in resources from the Center for Gender Sanity. What makes a person transsexual and motivates them to pursue physical transition is typically a conflict between their gender identity and their physical, assigned sex. It is not a conflict between their gender expression or role and their assigned sex.\n\nTrans individuals do not transition because they feel they are too feminine to be men, or because the presence of feminine characteristics means they must be female. The motivation is far deeper and less analytical than that. We transition simply because we know ourselves to be female, totally independently of how well we fit into female stereotypes. Hence, we are not basing this decision on an overly strict concept of gender roles that requires our bodies to conform to a socially mandated binary.\n\nWe are only seeking to get our bodies to conform to our sense of self so that we can feel that they are our own, rather than a creepy, gross alien thing attached to us. Our existence does not in any way support, perpetuate, or rely upon those binaries; we are fundamentally transgressing them and asserting that they may be broken, and sometimes must.\n\nMyth 6: If our culture didn't have such strict gender roles, there would be no need for transition.\n\nThis is another mistake stemming from the confusion of gender identity with gender expression, and the belief that a trans woman makes her decision because she is uncomfortable with the male gender role rather than the male body. The argument runs that, basically, if we were to break down the socially arbitrated binary and \"gender straitjacket,\" we would no longer feel any sense of conflict between our selves and our assigned sex.\n\nBut, again, we do not transition out of discomfort with the male gender role. We transition out of discomfort with the male body. No matter how open, enlightened, and non-gendered our society could be, most women would continue to feel alienated and disturbed by having a penis, testicles pumping them full of testosterone, a hairy face and body, a masculine distribution of muscle and fat, a flat chest, the acidic smell of a male locker room, ruddy oily skin, and so on. Similarly, most men would continue to feel creeped out and appalled by having a vagina, menstruating every month, having breasts, soft and smooth skin, no beard, a feminine shape, wide hips, and the rising and falling cycle of estrogen and progesterone.\n\nTranssexuality is first and foremost about us, our bodies, and our right to be happy within them, not all about social conventions, the politics of gender, or what you think society should be or what you think is best for us.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 442, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "a1b3f6eb42616f7e939aff470ee32913dcffde0d", "raw_chars": 3485, "clean_chars": 3393, "edit_ratio": 0.7165, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "People whose gender identity conflicts with their physiological sex will continue to exist regardless of how well society accommodates variations in gender expression.

I do appreciate the sentiment, and we often enjoy hearing that kind of thing. It's an enormously tempting idea, too, and hard to give up. It would be terrific to believe that I'm this wonderfully brave, courageous, strong woman who overcame unimaginable odds to assert her true self without compromise to a hostile, bigoted world. But it just isn't true. We aren't brave. We're scared shitless and in tremendous pain and desperate for a way out, and don't really have much of a choice.\n\nImagine you're being chased by a pack of snarling wolves through a darkened, stormy forest. They're nipping at your heels, just behind, barking and growling with long strings of saliva dangling from their bared fangs. Your body is aching and sore and straining against the exhaustion, just barely maintaining your sprint through a combination of adrenaline and the terrifying certainty of death should you give in. Somewhere in the darkness and gloom you suddenly catch a glimpse of light. You run towards it, screaming for help as best you can through your bursting, panting lungs. It is a cabin. You finally make it to the door, you throw it open, and just in nick of time as one of the wolves lunges for your throat, you slam the door shut behind you. At last you've escaped. You're safe. Inside the cabin sits a friendly old man smoking a pipe and mulling some wine. As you stand there, shaking and gasping for breath and crying and terrified out of your wits, he smiles and says, \"wow, you're really brave.\" Some of us are brave. Some of us are strong. But that's not always the case, and can't necessarily be inferred from our transition. We do what we have to do, however we can, no matter how scared we are. But on the other hand, as it was articulated in Black Swan Green by David Mitchell, one of my favorite novels: \"Courage is being scared shitless and doing it anyway.\"\n\nMyth 8: You're appropriating the female body.\n\nAppropriation is about co-opting someone else's identity. We're not doing that. We're expressing our identity. It is not an act of attempting to emulate or express ourselves as The Other; we are attempting to more accurately and honestly express The Self. We don't transition into being a new or different person. We become more ourselves. We don't put on a mask, we take one off. It is not YOUR body or sex that is being in any way appropriated or affected. We are making decisions about our own bodies, our own sex, specifically just trying to feel at home within them. Which is our choice to make. Our bodies, our choices, yeah?\n\nMyth 9: Why can't you just accept yourself?

The reconstruction of the Korean nation, following more than a century of tragedy and division, would be one of the most difficult and expensive projects in history.\n\nThe cost of rebuilding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as the North calls itself, exceeds the financial means of Seoul. South Korean estimates for the reconstruction range from $50 billion to $229 billion. If the cost of rebuilding the South is added, the total tab could soar to over $5 trillion.\n\nYet the true cost lies in the suffering of more than 25 million North Koreans. Many have indicated they would attempt to move north if the Kim regime were destroyed, causing Beijing to worry about a potential influx of refugees into its northeastern provinces.\n\nHowever, Chinese officials do not appear especially concerned about the ability of the People's Liberation Army, backed by the People's Armed Police, to close the border with the North. This border is defined by three natural boundaries: the Yalu and Tumen rivers, and an active volcano, Mount Paektu.\n\nIn any event, it is unlikely that North Koreans would want to leave their fate to the Chinese when they can more easily walk across the Demilitarized Zone, the strip of land separating the two Koreas. In an era of considerably less tension, north-south corridors in the border area were de-mined. Refugees, therefore, merely have to stroll south—toward other Koreans—along safe, paved highways and railroad tracks.\n\nThis means that if North Korea were to be \"totally destroyed,\" the first task for South Korean and U.S. troops would be to stabilize the North Korean population.\n\nDavid Maxwell, of Georgetown University's Center for Security Studies, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that the South Korean military would likely execute stabilization operations focusing on two key objectives: establishing security and restoring essential services. The goal would be to keep the Korean population fixed in their villages while receiving essential support to minimize the humanitarian crisis.\n\nAt the same time, South Korean forces, assisted by the United States, would have to undertake what Maxwell described as the most important Easter egg hunt in history. They would need to \"search, locate, secure, render safe, account for, and as appropriate destroy any remaining weapons of mass destruction.\"\n\nThey would have to do this in a hostile environment that Maxwell, a former U.S. Army Special Forces colonel with five Korea tours, described as \"exponentially more complex than Iraq.\" North Koreans are indoctrinated to hate Americans, almost all males have military training, and they will have access to firearms. Moreover, the population has been raised on a myth glorifying partisan warfare.\n\nSo what could be more dangerous?

The op-amp output is capacitively coupled to the headphone jack through large electrolytic capacitors, which are bypassed with small film capacitors. Additionally, a pair of RCA jacks can be used to provide a line output for use as a preamplifier.\n\nOne addition not found in the original Millett hybrid design is the inclusion of an output muting circuit. This circuit keeps the output disabled for about ten seconds after power-up, eliminating the loud \"thump\" that would otherwise occur as the output capacitors charge. The muting circuit is simple, consisting of a MOSFET to drive the relay coil, along with some diodes and an RC circuit on the gate. When power is turned on, the capacitor on the gate charges slowly until the gate voltage becomes high enough to turn on the MOSFET, which then pulls in the relay. When power is turned off, a diode quickly discharges the capacitor and drops the relay.\n\nThe PCB measures just under 5.5 inches by 2.7 inches. This size was chosen to fit into one half of a standard plastic box from Serpac.\n\nConstruction is straightforward, involving soldering all the parts into the PCB. To make the build easier, I have put together a complete, detailed assembly manual. It includes many pictures, making it a fairly large file (113 MB), but it also contains the parts list (BOM) and schematic. Since all the details are included in that manual, I will not repeat them here on the web page. You can also download the parts list (BOM) by itself in PDF or XLS format.\n\nParts come from two sources: the PCB and Nutube are sold by me through my eBay store, while the rest of the parts can be purchased from Mouser or DigiKey. To make things easier, I have shared a project at Mouser that you can access to automatically buy all the parts needed, including the plastic case, knob, and AC adapter. You can edit your cart after loading the project if you want to change anything. To access the shared project, go to the Mouser Project Manager and enter the access code b68a30231c.\n\nUpgrades\n\nI am often asked what can be done to upgrade the designs I publish. In this case, there are a couple of upgrades I will mention right away, which are also shown in the notes section of the parts list.\n\nOne upgrade involves the volume control potentiometer. Unfortunately, all small and cheap volume controls tend to be poor. They often have significant channel mismatch and are noisy, or become noisier with time. The pot I used here is not bad, but it is noisy at the bottom end of its travel, which bothers me. Therefore, on this PCB, I included pads for the standard small, cheap control, as well as for a TKD 2CP601. The TKD pot is available from audiophile parts sources like Parts Connexion.

First identified as a tropical storm on August 15 over the central Atlantic Ocean, the hurricane moved northwestward for most of its course, ultimately peaking with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure reading of 952 mbar (hPa; 28.11 inHg). It turned due northward as it approached the U.S. East Coast and struck western Long Island on August 24. It moved inland and quickly deteriorated, degenerating the next day.\n\nThe storm inflicted severe damage with storm tides as high as 30 ft (9 m). Trees were brought down, houses were demolished, and Hog Island was largely washed away by the cyclone. Several areas suffered extensive effects from the hurricane, and at least 34 sailors lost their lives. The storm is regarded as one of the most severe hurricanes to strike the city.\n\nMeteorological History\n\nThe system was first classified as a tropical storm while situated in the central Atlantic Ocean on August 15, 1893. It steadily intensified as it tracked generally toward the west and attained hurricane force. Gradually curving northwestward, the storm continued to gain power and, on August 18, it achieved wind speeds corresponding to Category 2 intensity on the modern-day Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. This scale was devised in 1971 to categorize tropical cyclones based on their maximum sustained winds. The storm is estimated to have maintained winds of approximately 100 mph (155 km/h) for several days as it passed well to the north of the Lesser Antilles. As the hurricane turned more northerly still, approaching the United States, it strengthened to major hurricane intensity, Category 3, on August 22. At this point, it peaked in intensity with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). The lowest known barometric pressure in relation to the storm was 952 mbar (hPa; 28.11 inHg).\n\nLess than a day later, the storm deteriorated to Category 2 strength. Cape Hatteras, North Carolina experienced the hurricane on the morning of August 23 while its center passed less than 100 mi (160 km) offshore. Heading nearly due northward, the cyclone skimmed the New Jersey coastline, passing just east of Atlantic City, and weakened further to Category 1 status. On August 23, the storm was one of four hurricanes occurring simultaneously within the Atlantic Ocean. On August 24, the storm moved ashore on western Long Island, in the New York City area. At 1200 UTC that day, while centered just inland, its maximum winds were estimated to have been 85 mph (140 km/h). It progressed northward through New England, quickly weakening. It was briefly downgraded to a tropical storm before becoming extratropical. It dissipated fully on August 25, near the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 476, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8d6e171548d1973cb366ee78bba0822c9516fff7", "raw_chars": 2855, "clean_chars": 2879, "edit_ratio": 0.0091, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Putting all that aside, if you like politics—if you like America, dammit—it will be tremendously fun to watch for several reasons.\n\nFor starters, it is going to be awkward.

They do not attack each other; they text all the time, and they even shot an amusing parody video together. Over the summer, they cut away from a party at the gubernatorial Jersey Shore house and took a stroll on the beach, just the two of them. They are even Facebook friends, having sat on Oprah Winfrey's couch last year and collected a $100 million investment from Mark Zuckerberg for Newark's schools.

They may love a good TV interview, but Booker and Christie have drawn much of their popularity by circumventing traditional news and developing their own social-media channels for disseminating information. Booker has the second-most Twitter followers of any politician who hasn’t run for president, and he recently cofounded a video-based social media company called Waywire. Christie, meanwhile, has amassed an online following from countless video clips, posted by his staff, of his dressing down journalists, constituents, Democrats, academic researchers, and the New Jersey Supreme Court.

The mayor who meditates and quotes poetry versus the governor who… what's the opposite of meditation and poetry?\n\nBooker is a chameleon, able to give any audience what it needs. To the Florida delegation at the Democratic convention, for example, he dropped “Jesus Loves You” and the Hebrew equivalent, “Baruch Hashem,” in the same sentence, bringing black women and Jewish grandmothers to their feet. Christie, on the other hand, keeps his finger on the trigger—choosing respect, as he always says, before love. While Christie is a married father of four and the fattest national politician since the dawn of television, Booker is a fit, single man often dubbed “America’s sexiest mayor.” His sex life is of more than a little interest in political circles, and his name was appropriated for an erotic novel, “Cory’s Salvation.” He is crushed on by 20-something female progressives across the country, as evidenced by the question recently asked about him on Jezebel: “Is it hot in here or is that just the rising temperature of a million vaginas?”\n\nBooker, a vegetarian, often points to the contrast: “The governor is a Republican, I’m a Democrat.

He is 5’11” and 160 pounds which isn’t necessarily ideal in the NHL. On the other hand, many players already in the league have a size limitation and that does not stop them. Tyler Johnson of the Tampa Bay Lightning currently leads the 2015 NHL Playoffs with 21 points at only 5’9″ and 175 pounds. Patrick Kane is a close second with 20 points in the playoffs at 5’11”.

He is a very quick skater gifted with great hands and hockey sense. Battles hard in all three zones and shows a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the puck to the back of the net; an unselfish player. Embodies the definition of a dynamic number-generating machine who makes the players around him better.\n\nThe Arizona Coyotes could use a guy of Marner’s caliber on their team. Marner is a pure goal scorer that lets his presence be known with each shift he takes. Size does not limit him as he can be physical with anyone he is put up against. Drafting Marner will be beneficial to the Coyotes in terms of team chemistry as well. His junior hockey teammates Max Domi and Christian Dvorak have already been drafted by the Arizona Coyotes organization. Having three guys that all played in London together would definitely help their transition from the OHL to the NHL. Mitch Marner will aid in the Coyotes goal production if given the opportunity.\n\nNow it’s time to let your voice be heard!

He further destabilized the freedom movement by promoting his Hindutva ideology, which deepened communal divisions at a time when a united front against colonial rule was essential. After independence, Savarkar was also implicated in the murder of Mahatma Gandhi.\n\nSuch is the man whom Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared to be 'the true son of Mother India and an inspiration for many people' in a Twitter tribute to Savarkar on his birth anniversary on May 28 of the previous year. In 2015, commemorating Savarkar on his 132nd birth anniversary, the prime minister bowed before a portrait of the Hindutva icon in remembrance of 'his indomitable spirit and invaluable contribution to India’s history.'\n\nFinance Minister Arun Jaitley quickly followed suit. 'Today, on the birth anniversary of Veer Savarkar, let us remember and pay tribute to this great freedom fighter and social-political philosopher,' he tweeted. Amidst a stream of Twitter accolades from numerous BJP ministers, TV anchor Rajdeep Sardesai joined the chorus, albeit with a caveat. While he disagreed with Savarkar's ideology, Sardesai stated that he honored Savarkar's 'spirit as a freedom fighter.'\n\nSavarkar was indeed a freedom fighter for a certain period in the first decade of the 20th century, long before he began articulating the notion of Hindutva. At that time, he was an atheist and a rationalist who embarked on a revolutionary path to rid India of its colonial yoke, asserting: 'Whenever the natural process of national and political evolution is violently suppressed by the force of wrong, the revolution must step in as a natural reaction and therefore ought to be welcomed as the only effective instrument to re-throne Truth and Right.'\n\nUpon sailing to England to study law in 1906, Savarkar founded the Free India Society to organize Indian students studying in England to fight for independence. In a famous declaration before the society, he stated: 'We must stop complaining about this British officer or that officer, this law or that law. There would be no end to that. Our movement must not be limited to being against any particular law, but it must be for acquiring the authority to make laws itself. In other words, we want absolute independence.'\n\nHowever, when the time came to pay the price for being a revolutionary under an oppressive colonial government, Savarkar transformed into 'the staunchest advocate of loyalty to the English government,' using his own words. This shift occurred after he was arrested and sentenced to serve 50 years in the infamous Cellular Jail on the Andaman Islands. He had been found guilty of supplying the pistol that a member of the Abhinav Bharat Society used to assassinate A.M.T.

This finding contrasts with a forecast from the Bank of Canada, which anticipates that government spending will provide a slight boost to the country’s real GDP, a measure of growth adjusted for inflation.\n\nTo reach its conclusion, CIBC economists utilized projections from the most recent federal budget alongside those from the four largest provinces. They adjusted these figures by removing transfers to households and adding back capital spending. CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld stated, \"Our analysis points to yet another drop in real expenditures, with no major offset from planned tax reductions.\" Shenfeld estimates that real government spending will decline by 0.9 per cent in the 2013/14 fiscal year, which translates to a 0.2 per cent drag on real GDP for the 2013 calendar year.\n\nShenfeld highlighted the discrepancy with the Bank of Canada's outlook, noting, \"That doesn't look like a big deal, until one contrasts it with the 0.3 per cent boost to growth in the Bank of Canada forecast.\" He warned that this difference could mean the Bank’s forecast is approximately 0.5 percentage points too high. Such a discrepancy could determine whether growth exceeds potential, necessitating interest rate hikes, or aligns with CIBC’s forecast of 2.0 per cent growth, which would not be fast enough to narrow the output gap and trigger monetary tightening.\n\nIn April, Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page released an analysis of federal spending plans that also concluded government restraint would hinder growth. His report stated, \"The Parliamentary Budget Office expects that restraint and reductions in government spending on programs in Canada will act as a drag on economic growth and job creation, pushing the economy further away from its potential GDP and delaying the economic recovery.\" The PBO projected that spending cutbacks would reduce economic output by 0.3 per cent in the current year, rising to 0.88 per cent in 2014. This analysis faced sharp criticism from Conservative MPs, who labeled it \"too pessimistic.\"\n\nDuring its last monetary policy announcement in July, the Bank of Canada stated that overall government spending was expected to contribute \"modestly\" to growth in 2013, a finding that CIBC disputes.

He explained, \"Having started from a combined federal/provincial deficit of only a third of that stateside, there's no equivalent threat of an outright recession being induced by cuts coming from Ottawa and the provinces.\" He added, \"We'll get through our fiscal drag much sooner than the U.S. with a lot less pain in total.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 523, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "46df1af614eb6b3f9a5796d9c3f451057df6b7f7", "raw_chars": 2237, "clean_chars": 2292, "edit_ratio": 0.8348, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Passengers on United Airlines reported long delays following the latest in a series of technology problems affecting the nation's largest carriers. United stated on Friday that it had resolved the overnight issue, yet hours later the airline still could not explain what went wrong or even provide accurate figures on how many flights were canceled or delayed.\n\nTracking service FlightStats Inc. reported in the late afternoon that United had canceled 10 flights, which is not an unusual number, and delayed more than 380. However, those figures did not include United Express flights, which are operated by smaller outsourced carriers.\n\nThe timing of the incident likely helped mitigate the impact. The outage occurred during a late-night period when few U.S. flights were operating, and United reported that the issue was fixed before the wave of morning departures began. The airline responded on Twitter to passengers who experienced delays or problems with its website, stating that it was having issues with its weight-reporting system. Some passengers traveling late Thursday and early Friday took to social media to complain about delays lasting as long as six hours.\n\nUnited spokeswoman Maddie King said that overnight the airline \"experienced a system issue causing some flight delays.\" She noted that the problem was fixed by 4 a.m. Eastern time, although there could be lingering brief delays on Friday. When asked about the specific cause of the outage, King replied, \"We are still working to determine that.\"\n\nThis incident follows a pattern of technological failures at major airlines. In August, Delta Air Lines suffered a computer breakdown after a power outage in its operations center, leading to the cancellation of more than 2,000 flights over three days. In July, Southwest Airlines also canceled more than 2,000 flights after an outage it blamed on a failed network router. United and American Airlines both experienced computer-system problems during the summer of 2015.\n\nAirline technology systems consist of hundreds of programs, often of different ages and sources, layered on top of each other.

Anyone who has ever tried this exercise knows the power and the results you get. You can either use parallel bars, TRX or rings. This exercise primarily targets the triceps and the chest with the back and lats getting some stimulation as well. By doing this exercise with a closer grip, elbows close to your side and your chin tucked in you will target the triceps more.\n\nBodyweight Triceps Extensions: Place your hands on a strong surface like a bar, bench or rings. Place your feet back so your body is as close to a horizontal position. Your head should be placed in between your elbows. Push your bodyweight up and then lower yourself slowly. This exercise is close to a skull crusher except you are not lying on your back.\n\nClose Grip Push Ups: Any type of pushups exercise works great for your triceps. Most pushups exercises will primarily target your chest with secondary work done on the triceps. However, close grip pushups or triangle pushups will work primarily on the triceps with less emphasis on the chest.\n\nBonus Exercise Works The Entire Arms\n\nMuscle Up: Every time I see this exercise I think of the guys from “300.” This exercise requires a lot of upper body strength and is a combination of a pull up with dip. The workout is a combination of a biceps exercise and triceps exercise. The entire motion of the exercise is meant to work on the biceps, triceps and the back and chest muscles. Stand underneath a pull up bar and jump up, grab the bar and use the momentum to pull yourself up and push up until the bar is at waist level. Proceed to come back down in a controlled motion. As you can see the explosive pull up motion will work the biceps while the pushing movement and lowering of the body is going to target the triceps.\n\nTips For Your Next Arm Workout\n\nLooking at these exercises it is tempting to stack a workout with 4-5 or more of these exercises. Avoid the temptation of doing too many exercises all at once. Doing too much at once will only make you over train.\n\nThe best way to achieve ideal results is by choosing 1 or 2 of these exercises for biceps or 1 to 2 exercises when doing triceps workouts. If you decide to add weight training for your arms simply do 1 exercise using weights and 1 exercise using your bodyweight.\n\nThe best thing to do is to include a bodyweight exercise along with an exercise using weights. Sticking to an all bodyweight workout for your arms works too.\n\nIf your goal is to gain muscle stick to rep ranges of 8 to 10 and 3 to 4 sets. Make sure to be as explosive as possible in each repetition.\n\nFinal Thoughts\n\nOne thing that is very clear is that you won’t find isolation type exercises in this list. Bodyweight type workouts are always going to be compound type. Unlike dumbbell exercises, like dumbbell curls, you won’t find the equivalent version using your bodyweight. Each one of these exercises works not only the biceps and triceps but also works in conjunction with another muscle group like back muscles or chest.\n\nIf you only use weights to add muscle to your arms it is best to add bodyweight exercises as well. The benefits you will gain will be tremendous.\n\nIf you have never done a workout using only your body then feel free to try it.

An example of this is the requirement that a newly constructed or reset container allocates no memory. These are discussed in the next section. EASTL has additional functionality in most of the containers in order to obtain higher performance. These are discussed after the next section. EASTL uses a different allocator model, as described below. Otherwise, the EASTL versions logically behave the same as std STL versions. The EASTL implementations of the containers listed above are not modifications of any existing std STL implementation but are largely complete reimplementations.\n\nEASTL defines an additional iterator_tag in addition to bidirectional_iterator, random_access_iterator, etc: contiguous_iterator_tag. A contiguous iterator has all the properties of a random_access_iterator but additionally specifies that the range is contiguous in memory as with an array.\n\nEASTL augmentations/amendments to std STL\n\nHere we list extension functionality that EASTL provides over std STL along with a rationale for each item. In some cases additional information can be found in the appendix and will be noted. All of these changes were prompted by real issues that were encountered in the use of std STL and EASTL. None were the result of speculation or \"premature optimization.\"\n\nAll containers have a node_type typedef and kNodeAlignment constant.\n\nMuch as containers define types such as value_type and key_type, EASTL defines node_type for all containers. node_type is the storage type that the container uses, as opposed to the user-specified contained type. It is the type that the container allocates. Explicitly defining this type allows users to implement allocators such that the allocated type is known at compile-time. Additionally, kNodeAlignment is a size_t constant which defines the alignment of the node_type. For containers such as hash tables which have multiple allocated types, additional node types are explicitly defined for the class. Similarly, all containers understand and respect object alignment requirements. As discussed elsewhere in this document, game development platforms explicitly or implicitly require the use of non-default alignments. A typical example is VMX vector types, which explicitly require 16 byte alignment because they are an array of 4 floats which are processed in parallel in a single 128 bit register.\n\nAll containers have a get_allocator and set_allocator function, which return the actual allocator instead of a copy of it. std STL lets you set the allocator for a class only during class construction. Additionally, std STL doesn't let you access its allocator; you can only get a copy of it. This and other weaknesses of std STL allocators are discussed elsewhere in this document in more detail.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 530, "chunk_idx": 10, "raw_sha1": "f61fc40badb117c18084c4592e38c4bd1b848a05", "raw_chars": 2904, "clean_chars": 3073, "edit_ratio": 0.7417, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Intrusive containers are a type of container where the user provides the nodes, meaning no memory is allocated and cache behavior is improved during container manipulations. Another benefit is that elements can be removed from containers without referencing the container itself, meaning without calling container member functions. This is useful when a class hands out element pointers to clients, which the client will eventually hand back. Another benefit of intrusive containers is that they do not require elements to be copyable, and sometimes element copying is not possible. EASTL intrusive containers allow elements to safely reside in multiple unrelated containers simultaneously. For the intrusive_list interface, see Appendix item 16.\n\nThe slist is a singly-linked list that is much like the slist extension found in the SGI STL branch of STL implementations. The ring_buffer implements a constant or variable capacity ring buffer which is templated on a user-supplied bidirectional container. Typically, you would use it with a list or a deque, but a constant-capacity ring_buffer might use a vector or array instead. The template for this class is defined as follows:\n\ntemplate >\nclass ring_buffer { };\n\nThere are several smart pointers which have similar characteristics to shared_ptr but do not allocate memory. These include linked_ptr, linked_array, intrusive_ptr, and safe_ptr. safe_ptr is an explicitly standalone weak pointer which does not allocate memory. linked_ptr uses a linked list to store references and thus also does not allocate memory. intrusive_ptr uses an object-supplied addref/release function to manage object lifetime. Additionally, there are shared_array and scoped_array, which are array versions of shared_ptr and scoped_ptr. The conventional explanation for why the TR1 does not provide such array versions is that vector already supplies this functionality. That is a fine argument, though vector and shared_array are not identical.\n\nThere are several additional algorithms provided. binary_search_i is an alternative to binary_search which returns an iterator instead of a boolean. It turns out that users often want the result of the binary search and not just the status. This is the same as the binary_find function suggested by some. find_first_not_of, find_last_of, and find_last_not_of are also included. identical is an algorithm which is like the equal algorithm except it does not assume or require that the input ranges are of equal length. identical efficiently compares ranges for both length equality and element equality. change_heap, remove_heap, and is_heap are also available.\n\nThere are additional sort algorithms provided, including is_sorted, radix_sort, bucket_sort, shell_sort, insertion_sort, merge_sort, merge_sort_buffer, comb_sort, and bubble_sort. radix_sort is implemented via the following interface:\n\ntemplate \nvoid radix_sort(RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last,", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 530, "chunk_idx": 8, "raw_sha1": "6e4e46dfa125b0ef1b87a7d05c72ac9ae028a5ac", "raw_chars": 3341, "clean_chars": 3388, "edit_ratio": 0.0227, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The code snippet \"=f\" (result) : \"f\" (test), \"f\" (b), \"f\" (a)); return result; } illustrates a small optimization. Such optimizations are implementation details, but are described here because they provide a practical performance benefit to the performance-conscious user. It would be nice if standard STL implementations provided such things, though Metrowerks has been known to do so in some cases.\n\nInstead of just , EASTL provides , , , and . The standard STL is a large file that is slow to compile and creates large object files for compilers that use the Borland template model (most compilers) as opposed to the Cfront model. EASTL containers avoid function calls to the extent possible, even if such calls might be inlined by the compiler. This makes it easier for the compiler to optimize and easier for the user to trace. Debug game builds that heavily use the standard STL with all its function calls can be unacceptably slow. See Appendix items 9 and 10.\n\nEASTL is argument-dependent-lookup safe and guaranteed to be so. This allows you to safely call STL functions with code from other namespaces. See Appendix item 11. EASTL compiles without warning on the highest warning levels available by the compiler. This might seem like an obvious idea, but the most common commercial STL implementation does not follow it. Nearly all shared libraries and most games within EA are developed with the highest possible warning levels, and many teams set warnings to be errors. As it currently stands, usage of the C++ standard library and STL provided by the aforementioned vendor must be wrapped in warning disabling clauses wherever they are used. This results in more messy code and more fragile builds.\n\nException handling can be disabled in EASTL by explicitly supported configuration directives. Almost all game development is done with exception handling disabled. The discussion of this policy is outside the scope of this paragraph, but is handled in Appendix item 19. It is useful if users can explicitly disable exception handling in the libraries that they use, independently of how the compiler is configured for exception handling.\n\nHeader files are explicitly in an EASTL header directory and have a .h suffix. Thus we have #include instead of #include . Putting header files in an explicit directory gives them a \"namespace\" of sorts. This goes a long way towards avoiding header conflicts between shared libraries and is the standard design within Electronic Arts. Suffix-less header names (e.g. ) don't work well in practice as well as suffixed names in user and development environments. This is a practical reality, and users prefer suffixed file names anyway.\n\nEASTL is implemented in a highly readable way that allows non-experts to follow it. All existing STL implementations with the possible exception of Metrowerks are hard to read. They have virtually no code documentation and use variable and function names that are cryptic and/or use unusual formatting. This has been a surprisingly negative point in EA team evaluations of STL for their use.\n\nEASTL coverage of TR1 (C++ library extensions)\n\nEASTL covers the parts of TR1 that relate to containers, algorithms, and iterators.

Consider a struct defined as follows:\n\nstruct Spaceship { private(set) var name = \"Untitled\" }\n\nThe private(set) declaration tells the compiler that the property has an internal access level for reading, but writes can only occur within the source file where the property is declared.

I really like this saying because it is a basic principle of skepticism, and it goes hand in hand with a statement that was made famous by none other than Carl Sagan. Namely, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” I find that these two principles are broadly applicable to the many “miracle treatments” and fad diets that pervade the internet, but in this post I am just going to focus on the “Miracle Mineral Solution” (a.k.a. Miracle Mineral Supplement or MMS) as an illustration. Basically, this post is just an exercise in common sense in which I am going to point out some obvious hallmarks of snake oil.\n\nWhat is MMS?\n\nTo put it simply, it’s bleach. To put it more technically, it is a 28% solution of sodium chlorate which breaks down to release chlorine dioxide, and it is the chlorine dioxide which actually reacts with pathogens (remember this chemical, it is going to show up a lot in this post). To be clear, MMS is not the same type of bleach that is used to clean your house (sodium hypochlorite), but it is nevertheless a type of bleach and is used to bleach various paper, wood, and textile products. This is also one of the chlorines that is sometimes used in very low concentrations to disinfect drinking water. Now, the fact that someone is selling a concentrated bleach solution as a miracle cure should throw up some red flags, but let’s investigate further. After all, the skeptic principle is to demand evidence, not to blindly reject something without looking for evidence.\n\nAre its effects plausible?\n\nAccording to the almighty internet, MMS cures pretty much everything. Spiritportal.org states that it “CURES” (their emphasis) “malaria, AIDs, most cancers, any type of hepatitis, tuberculosis, typhoid, pneumonia, asthma, herpes, HPV, chicken pox, smallpox, measles, influenza (including bird flu), colds, food poisoning, snake bite, Lyme disease, ringworm, roundworm, tapeworm, yeast infections, and many other common diseases.” Many other websites list additional ailments, and one hilariously unfactual website even goes as far as saying that it kills 95% of all diseases! Similarly, MMSWiki has an insanely long list that includes things like Down syndrome, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, depression, etc., and, of course, what good would a miracle cure be if it didn’t cure baldness and erectile dysfunction.\n\nThis type of list is characteristic of supposed miracle cures, and it provides really obvious evidence that these “cures” are a load of crap. For one thing, diseases like AIDs, cancer, and Alzheimer’s should jump out at you. Anytime that someone claims to have found a simple cure for one of those diseases, you should be very, very skeptical. Further, the sheer range of diseases that MMS supposedly cures gives us a good reason to be cautious. The list includes cancers, viruses, fungi, bacteria, auto-immune disorders, protozoan infections, parasites, genetic disorders, neurological disorders, snake bites, etc. I’m going to walk through some of those in more detail below, but first, just ask yourself if it is actually plausible that something is going to be effective against all of those maladies (spoiler alert: it’s not).\n\nPathogenic diseases", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 540, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "252d22f4019b897d0d3092d98ddba1de2e645383", "raw_chars": 1780, "clean_chars": 1783, "edit_ratio": 0.2652, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I hit college and started to hate superhero comics; I think I just didn't like comics anymore.

So when you collect the whole book or you stack the issues up, you’ll be able to see the water on the edge of the pages rising.\n\nThe problem with Mind MGMT is that I put every idea I could think of twisting comics around. So coming up with something is…hard [laughs], without repeating myself. But I’m trying.\n\nPaste: Speaking of, you have this constraint—each issue covers 24 hours. Why take this approach? Did you personally want to challenge yourself?\n\nKindt: I think so. I love the format of a monthly comic. I love that you have this finite amount of time to get this piece of a story put out there, and have to work on its own, but also be part of a bigger thing. That was something that was interesting to me, but also the idea that this whole thing is finite. Her space that she’s living in is finite, it’s ticking down. You’re not going to get six issues of flashbacks and then go back to the main story. I want it to be more of an intense experience, a little more action-oriented. A little more immediate.\n\nPaste: The general impression I’m getting is that you write without releasing until you have the whole story mapped in your head, which is something I generally associate with designers. But when you work this far in advance, do you ever think of new developments that you wish you would have had, but you can’t capitalize on because it would contradict past continuity?\n\nKindt: That’s part of the design of the books, too. With Mind MGMT and then this, I’m hopefully going to write out the scripts for the whole thing ahead of time. A couple years worth at least. But with Mind MGMT and how I usually structure things, I try to leave some wiggle room. Here are the main beats we’re going to hit, and then leave a little room for extra ideas. You are married to those bigger beats, but if you can structure it right, you can fit in some extra ideas or some things that occur to you on the way.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 540, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "9ea7a68591cc20ccf2a600799a9f16d2e1977d07", "raw_chars": 3016, "clean_chars": 3016, "edit_ratio": 0.0003, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The nature of comics is like that.

That’s why it’s extra fun to write and draw the thing, because I’m thinking about it 1,000 times more than if I were just writing it.\n\nThe inside front covers on the single issues would be like an outlet for some extra ideas I had. And then even some of the backup stories gave me a chance to elaborate on things that I didn’t have time to hit on the main storyline or other ideas. A lot of that stuff was planned at the beginning, but then as I went along I kept a running list of ideas for some things I wanted to hit so it wouldn’t disrupt the main narrative, but I could still fit it in and use it to stitch the bigger story together, and add some backstory or some shading to some things that I wouldn’t have maybe been able to do otherwise.\n\nPaste: So Mind MGMT. has Meru and Dept. H. has another two-consonant M-name female journalist—Mia. Are the works in dialogue within one another? Or is this just the best way to start any spy story?\n\nKindt: Every book I’ve ever done is connected. In my mind they’re all in the same universe. So there’s a loose connection, but there’s not a literal connection between her and Meru. I like writing female characters because they’re different than me. I think when I was first starting doing mini-comics and autobiographical stuff, I was really just writing me. I was writing this character and the character’s thoughts were my thoughts. Early on, I decided that could kind of boring, boring to read. So I unconsciously tried to pick a character who’s the opposite of me, or different than me and pushes me outside my comfort zone, makes it a little harder and makes me think a little more. Having characters with different backgrounds who aren’t me. Having a girl instead of a guy immediately makes it more interesting. As a writer, stuff like that is more of what I’m thinking about. Trying to put another hurdle in front of myself that I can jump over.\n\nPaste: Describing your work can be difficult because pragmatic elements like government agencies and political philosophy dovetail so seamlessly with surrealism, and your visuals are incredibly stylized. What media were you into as a kid? How about now?\n\nKindt: When I was a kid I read everything. Pulp, science-fiction. I read almost every Philip K. Dick book. I’m saving a couple because there aren’t not many left, so I’m saving some so I don’t run out. I read all the Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett. Any crime fiction from the ‘40s and ‘50s was my favorite. I read every kind of pulpy thing ever. I was a fan of The Shadow and Doc Savage, and that was all the way up through high school.

Goss did win once, at the Giro d'Italia, a landmark achievement as the team's first Grand Tour victory. However, the accumulation of second, third, and fourth-place finishes, along with other wins that continued to elude him, highlighted the struggle.\n\nGoss recognized that contending with the challenge of building a new squad around him and competing for wins against the world's best was always going to be difficult. Initially, he underestimated how long it would take to iron out the kinks.\n\n\"I had a great season in 2011, but I had it in a team which had been around in one form or another for a long time, and had a well-drilled sprint train, a really disciplined setup,\" Goss said. \"They knew how to do everything. In 2012, we didn't. I was building a leadout train from scratch, in doing sprints I'd never really done before - I'd never really done the big bunch sprints at the Grand Tours, I'd always worked for Cav. It was a new experience, really getting the leadout to work properly.\"\n\nThe frustration with the team's teething problems in developing and honing a leadout, in building Goss into the sprinter they wanted him to be, and in netting the results they wanted, perhaps even demanded, conspired to amplify into a pressure that Goss had previously never had to contend with.\n\nPerceived and real pressure\n\nThe external pressure was there from the media, with questions being asked and doubts raised about Goss's performance. Internally, the team remained patient, but Goss was feeling the strain nonetheless.\n\n\"When it didn't work properly, really dealing with the pressure of the media - and everything - that was a different scenario to what I'd been used to in the past. I knew it was going to be more than usual, being an Australian team, Australian riders, and at the time being a marquee signing. I knew a lot of weight was going to be on my shoulders.\"\n\n\"It was a combination of the pressure and expectation. It then snowballed after we missed out at the 2012 Tour.\"\n\nExpectation came with the money, and both Orica-GreenEDGE insiders and Goss himself acknowledge this, but how much pressure that actually materialized on the Australian is contentious. Orica was finding wins across the board; its first year saw Michael Albasini, Luke Durbridge, Daryl Impey, Aidis Kruopis, Simon Clarke, and Simon Gerrans all winning at least twice.

Apparently, the school’s name made Berry feel “more than unsafe.” The proposed name change would, according to Berry, comprise a remedy for several racial affronts she had experienced at Memorial. The school’s namesake, like several founding fathers, owned slaves yet argued for gradual emancipation efforts and “wished to see [slavery] diminished and abolished by peaceable & just means.”\n\nOf course, Madison Memorial High is in Madison, Wisconsin.

Salas asserted that the Revolutionary War was “as much about anything else. And that “Millions of dollars invested in slavery would be lost if the British won the war.”\n\nThen there’s this: “England eventually opposed slavery before the U.S. did, and this set off a wave of anger that fueled the 1776 Revolution.” So a wave of anger over something 40 years in the future (Britain would not pass its Slavery Abolition Act until 1833) sent the colonists to the barricades?\n\nAnd this breathtaking idiocy:\n\nThe third verse of the star spangled banner reads: “No refuge could save the hireling and slave.

No. “Hireling and slave” referred to British soldiers. They were professionals, often the dregs of society, fighting for a monarch. (They called it “taking the King’s shilling.”) The line derides them in comparison with the citizen soldiers the U.S. fielded in the War of 1812.

Because there is a sense around his team that the front office might be ready for a new voice, even though General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. insists it is only the media making an issue of this. \"Honestly,\" Amaro told Rumblings, \"I don't think about his situation at all.\"\n\nWhen asked if he was concerned about how his players would respond to having a manager with an uncertain future, Amaro said, \"I don't think the players give two craps about it. I don't think it's even a factor, not with our guys. I don't know if a contract for the manager should be a motivating factor for any player. They should be motivated by winning. That's it.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Manuel says this only affects him when people like us ask about it. \"I'm still the same guy,\" he said. \"If I had a 10-year contract, I'd think the same way and manage the same way.\" But he clearly wants to keep chugging along, and management clearly hasn't climbed on board.

For instance, in 1971, the industry influenced the National Institute of Dental Research’s National Caries Program to shift its focus toward dental caries interventions that did not involve restricting sucrose. The industry also commissioned a review titled \"Sugar in the Diet of Man,\" which it credited with favorably influencing the 1976 U.S. Food and Drug Administration evaluation of sugar's safety, among other industry tactics. These findings, combined with our analysis and current criticisms from the Sugar Association regarding evidence linking sucrose to cardiovascular disease, suggest that the industry has a long history of influencing federal policy.\n\nThis historical account of industry efforts highlights the importance of having reviews conducted by individuals without conflicts of interest and the necessity of financial disclosure. Scientific reviews shape policy debates, subsequent investigations, and the funding priorities of federal agencies. The New England Journal of Medicine has required authors to disclose all conflicts of interest since 1984, and conflict of interest disclosure policies have been widely implemented since the sugar industry launched its coronary heart disease research program. However, it remains unclear whether current conflict of interest policies are adequate to withstand the economic interests of the industry.\n\nMany industries sponsor research to influence assessments of the risks and benefits of their products. The influence of industry sponsorship on nutrition research is receiving increased scrutiny. Access to documents not intended for public consumption has provided the public health community with unprecedented insight into industry motives, strategies, tactics, and data designed to protect companies from litigation and regulation. This insight has been a major factor behind successful global tobacco control policies. Our analysis suggests that research using sugar industry documents has the potential to inform the health community about how to counter this industry's strategies and tactics to control information on the adverse health effects of sucrose.\n\nStudy Limitations\n\nThe Roger Adams papers and other documents used in this research provide a narrow window into the activities of one sugar industry trade association. Therefore, it is difficult to validate that the gathered documents are representative of the entirety of the Sugar Research Foundation's internal materials related to Project 226 from the 1950s and 1960s, or that the proper weight was given to each data source. There is no direct evidence that the sugar industry wrote or changed the New England Journal of Medicine review manuscript; the evidence that the industry shaped the review's conclusions is circumstantial. We did not analyze the role of other organizations, nutrition leaders, or food industries that advocated that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol were the main dietary cause of coronary heart disease. We could not interview key actors involved in this historical episode because they have died.\n\nConclusions", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 618, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "db1e7cd0031f21504eac0deecae4e848b1f9cd4b", "raw_chars": 2373, "clean_chars": 2380, "edit_ratio": 0.0027, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Einstein’s amiable infirmity of purpose was illustrated during his trip to America on the Belgenland in 1930. The liner stopped for five days in New York Harbor on the way to the Pacific Coast. Before leaving Germany, the scientist had announced that he would give no interviews, pose for no pictures, make no speeches, and pay no visits, but would remain aboard the ship. He was chivied into doing just the opposite of what he had planned. His five days were spent in interviews, broadcasts, luncheons, teas, dinners, and sightseeing expeditions. He even toured Chinatown. He went to the opera, visited Jeritza, and gave his written approval to the late Bill Guard’s brief definition of the Einstein theory: “There is no hitching-post in the universe.” The interviewing on the ship went on so long that the Professor finally uttered a resolute “No more” and went into hiding. A reporter found him. “Go away,” said Einstein, in his slow, reproachful manner, “immediately.” Seeing the disappointment on the reporter’s face, the scientist called after him, “Come back, young man, and I will try to answer your questions.” Pen-and-ink artists were also barred at this time. But when one of them surreptitiously made a sketch, Einstein autographed it and added a rhyme in German to the effect that “This fat, overfed pig seems to be Prof. Einstein.” It is the habit of this good, easy man to reward those who violate his rules and penalize those who respect them; courteous reporters, photographers, and artists are continually scooped by their unmannerly brethren, who by harrying and badgering the scientist put him into an affable, complying humor. While Einstein may have suffered to some extent under press cross-examinations, he has a miscellaneous journalistic inquisitiveness of his own and is an expert in baiting others with who and which. During an illness in 1928, he was attended in Germany by a world-famous New York physician. The physician memorized one hundred and fifty funny stories and told them to his celebrated patient. It was supposed that he did this to keep Einstein cheerful. “Not at all,” said the physician. “I told him funny stories in self-protection. He asked me so many questions that I was constantly embarrassed by my ignorance. When I found that he liked jokes, I memorized them to stop his questions.” “Gosh, Jack, I was born in a room like this.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 613, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "f2b28fa98c75d70880d4b98b798f73f5eaed229c", "raw_chars": 3062, "clean_chars": 3011, "edit_ratio": 0.0868, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "One of the greatest scenes in the film is between Rey and Kylo, which is fitting since most of the great scenes involve the two of them. They take place in Snoke’s fabulously red throne room. Snoke is not an attractive man, but he certainly has a flair for interior design. When Kylo betrays Snoke, he establishes himself as the primary antagonist, which is great, but it also renders Snoke utterly pointless. What was the point of him, other than to be a diluted version of Palpatine?\n\nNot everybody needs a padded backstory, but characters that significantly drive the plot need more than this. Where did this guy come from, and what was his ultimate plan, other than being evil? It feels as though the new trilogy is finding the story as it goes along, which isn’t exactly a bad thing, but has led us down a few dead ends in the process. I wanted to at least hear Snoke say, \"You wanna know how I got these scars?\"\n\nThen there are the porgs, which are deeply unsettling. I know Star Wars has a history of inserting merchandise into scenes where they don’t belong, but these creatures aren’t even cute. They’re right on the edge of the uncanny valley, more akin to deformed fetuses than adorable little critters. They’re everywhere, breaking the tension and interrupting the narrative flow like a blaring toy commercial, which is what they are, really.\n\nSeeing past the various flaws, this film is a joy to look at. The salt planet, the beautiful isolation of Luke’s island, and the ragtag, chipped-away aesthetic of the Rebellion were all wonderfully depicted. But there was a certain emptiness here that’s difficult to pin down.\n\nThe Last Jedi is tough to define. I really loved some moments in this film, and despised others. Luke had his finest appearance on screen, as far as I’m concerned, and a great send-off. Princess Leia is supremely dignified throughout, even when she’s floating through the depths of space, frosted in ice. Rey’s emptiness was balanced by Kylo’s complexity, and Finn, Poe, Rose, and whoever Benicio Del Toro was, were all just there. Oh, and I forgot to mention Captain Phasma. But that’s okay, because she never did anything.\n\nI left the theatre in a strange mood, unsure if I was even looking forward to the next installment. I had very high hopes for Rian Johnson, seeing as Looper is one of my favorite sci-fi films. But The Last Jedi lacked Looper’s slickness. It was bloated, burpy, and tonally wobbly. Forty minutes could have been sliced out of this film, and would have left it leaner and healthier.\n\nI still trust Rian Johnson with the new trilogy, I think. But I’m even more wary about Disney’s alarming takeover of the entertainment world. Are all their films going to feel like they’re part of the Marvel cinematic universe now?\n\nWe’ll see what’s next for Star Wars. I had a lot of issues with The Force Awakens recycling old story, but it still felt very much like a Star Wars film.

This delightfully cool weather inspired me to make one of my favorite Cuban potajes (stew), specifically Potaje de Garbanzo. I think of a potaje (poe-tah-hey) as not quite a soup, not quite a stew, and not quite a porridge. It's a hearty chickpea dish, simmered with Spanish chorizo, ham, smoked pork shank, Cuban calabaza, and potatoes. The taste takes me back to the days of sitting in my mom's kitchen, talking and watching her prepare this divine \"potaje\". It's funny how so many of the memories of my mom, that mean so much to me and that I hold dear, took place in her kitchen. A little choked up and a big sigh inserted here! Anyway, back to the \"potaje\". To me, the perfect spoonful has a piece of chorizo, calabaza, and chickpea swimming in the smokey, paprika-infused tomato-y broth. Add your favorite bread to dunk in the savory broth or white rice and your meal has just graduated to a traditional Cuban meal. This is nothing short of absolutely, positively delicious! I am pretty certain that my favorite Potaje de Garbanzo may become one of your favorites too!\n\nTo make this dish, start by soaking 1 pound of garbanzo beans 24 hours ahead of cooking time, changing the water whenever possible. Place the rinsed beans in a pot with enough water to go about 2 inches above them. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 5 minutes on high. Cover and turn off the heat. Leave the beans in the water for 1 hour, then remove and rinse them, setting them aside. Throw out the water.\n\nHeat a deep, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 large chopped Vidalia onion, 1 large chopped bell pepper, and 3-4 chopped garlic cloves. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add 4 small sliced Spanish chorizo links (sliced on the diagonal), 1 tablespoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, 1 laurel bay leaf, and 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic powder. Stir well to incorporate. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, making sure the chorizo has expelled its oils. Add 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, covered.\n\nAdd all of the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. These include 4 cups of chicken stock, 1 1/2 cups of dry white wine, 1 1/2 pounds of smoked pork shank, 8 oz of cubed ham steak, 1/2 peeled and diced Cuban calabaza squash (or butternut squash), 1-2 peeled and diced large red potatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 1 hour or until the beans are almost tender. Add the salt and cook for another 1/2 hour.\n\nServe in deep bowls along with crusty Cuban or French bread and/or, as served traditionally, with white rice. Enjoy!\n\nA few notes on preparation: If you substitute Spanish chorizo with Mexican chorizo, be aware that the flavor profiles are completely different. I like to dice my calabaza (squash) in large pieces so that I actually have pieces of it remaining in the stew once it is done cooking. It tends to break down considerably during the cooking process. After sauteing and simmering the vegetables and chorizo in the tomato sauce, you can also transfer all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-9 hours. Add the salt half an hour before the cook time is up. I never add salt to beans until they are almost done. It is my experience that salt added at the beginning of the bean's cooking process will keep the beans from softening.

Brennan credited effective homeland security measures and intelligence for the fact that ISIS has been unable to attack America directly. He noted that the Orlando and San Bernardino shootings were carried out by radicals inspired by ISIS but not under its direct control. However, he believes the group will keep trying to penetrate American defenses.\n\n\"You look at what happened in the Turkish airport, these were suicide vests. It’s not that difficult to actually construct and fabricate a suicide vest,\" Brennan explained. \"So if you have a determined enemy and individuals who are not concerned about escape, that they are going into it with a sense that they are going to die, that really does complicate your strategy in terms of preventing attacks.\"\n\nHe added, \"I’d be surprised if Daesh is not trying to carry out that kind of attack in the United States.\" Daesh is an acronym for the Arabic name of the Islamic State, better known as ISIS or ISIL.\n\nWithout confirming that the airport bombings were carried out by ISIS, which as of Wednesday morning had not claimed responsibility, Brennan indicated that the method of attack—suicide bombers wearing explosives-laden vests—pointed to the Islamic extremist group rather than to Kurdish nationalists, who have been waging a campaign of violence against the Turkish state. \"It was a suicide bombing, which is usually more a Daesh technique,\" Brennan said.\n\nMoreover, Brennan said that ISIS has a motive to spread its terror to Turkey, which has been targeting ISIS terrorists across the border in Syria. Until recently, Ankara’s failure to police its border with Syria was a sore point with Washington. \"Turkey has been cracking down on some of the transit of foreign fighters who are flowing into, as well as out of, Turkey, and they are part of the coalition providing support, allowing their territory to be used by coalition aircraft, so there are a lot of reasons why Daesh would want to strike back,\" he noted.\n\nBrennan said ISIS is using terror tactics to \"offset\" tactical battlefield setbacks and losses of territory in Syria and Iraq. But he was quick to add that the wider offensive in the region, Europe, and beyond is \"not solely\" a reaction to losses in Iraq and Syria. \"Over the past year and a half they have made a more determined effort to carry out attacks abroad, and we see in terms of their plans, their preparations, the movement of people as well as propagandizing outside, exhorting, inciting a much more determined effort to carry out these external operations,\" Brennan said.\n\nSlideshow: Deadly attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk >>>", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 651, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "5d82fe410be47217b6ec0b2b282098e9df24afbb", "raw_chars": 1458, "clean_chars": 1484, "edit_ratio": 0.552, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "An index of 19th-century scientific research journals lists John Tyndall as the author of more than 147 papers.

In one notable lecture, he demonstrated the propagation of light down through a stream of falling water via total internal reflection, an effect referred to as the \"light fountain.\" This demonstration is historically significant today because it illustrates the scientific foundation for modern fiber optic technology.

An attempt at a deal between T-Mobile and Sprint may be the first domino to fall as merger and acquisition activity heats up.\n\nThe U.S. wireless industry has seen an unexpected war over unlimited data plans and an accelerated race to 5G in recent months. Meanwhile, the FCC’s ongoing incentive auction of 600 MHz spectrum has straightjacketed any significant mergers and acquisitions due to its anti-collusion rules, which prevent the discussion of deals by wireless companies and broadcasters that could influence bidding in the event.\n\nAnalysts said we may see a flurry of activity in the coming weeks, though, after the auction ends and as Donald Trump’s administration settles in. An attempted merger between the nation’s third- and fourth-largest carriers may be in the offing, Hodulik said.\n\nFierceWireless is returning to Barcelona, Spain, during Mobile World Congress 2019 with a two-day Executive 5G Panel Series at the Fira Congress Hotel, conveniently located across the street from the MWC Convention Center.

Attendees will have the opportunity to network and hear from 5G leaders including Verizon, Vodafone, Orange, Sprint, NTT Docomo, Boingo Wireless, Qualcomm, and more over the course of two days.\n\n“We continue to believe a Sprint/T-Mobile announcement is likely given the benefits of moving from four wireless players to three and the significant synergies it would create,” Hodulik wrote in a research note. “In addition, we believe the timing is appropriate: SoftBank, Sprint’s parent, has already recovered its cost basis, turned the asset around operationally and financially, and moreover a deal would allow SoftBank to deconsolidate $30 billion or more in debt. SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son has already laid the political groundwork, promising to invest and create jobs in the U.S. We also note that the company has focused on strategic value rather than valuation in past acquisitions; we believe a premium here would make sense given asset scarcity and also valuation support and synergies.”\n\nA tie-up between T-Mobile and Sprint makes sense on multiple levels. It would enable the two smaller carriers to better compete with Verizon and AT&T, which claim much larger customer bases, and it would enable T-Mobile, which is thriving financially, to tap Sprint’s significant high-band spectrum assets.\n\nSuch a deal would still face major hurdles, however. T-Mobile has become much more valuable in the last few years as its business has thrived, and Sprint’s precarious financial position may forestall any deal.

One of these was titled \"The magneto-optic properties of crystals, and the relation of magnetism and diamagnetism to molecular arrangement,\" dated May 1850. These works described an inspired experiment accompanied by an inspired interpretation. These and other magnetic investigations quickly established Tyndall's reputation among the leading scientists of the day. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1852.\n\nIn his search for a suitable research appointment, Tyndall was able to ask the longtime editor of the leading German physics journal, Poggendorff, and other prominent figures to write testimonials on his behalf. In 1853, he attained the prestigious appointment of Professor of Natural Philosophy (Physics) at the Royal Institution in London, largely due to the esteem his work had garnered from Michael Faraday, the leader of magnetic investigations at the Royal Institution. About a decade later, Tyndall was appointed as the successor to the positions held by Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution upon Faraday's retirement.\n\nBeginning in the late 1850s, Tyndall studied the action of radiant energy on the constituents of air, which led him into several lines of inquiry. His original research results included significant findings regarding the absorption of radiant heat. Tyndall explained the heat in the Earth's atmosphere in terms of the capacities of the various gases in the air to absorb radiant heat, also known as infrared radiation. His measuring device, which utilized thermopile technology, represents an early landmark in the history of absorption spectroscopy of gases. He was among the first to correctly measure the relative infrared absorptive powers of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, and methane in 1859, following Eunice Foote's work in 1856. He concluded that water vapor is the strongest absorber of radiant heat in the atmosphere and is the principal gas controlling air temperature. While absorption by other gases is not negligible, it is relatively small. Prior to Tyndall, it was widely surmised that the Earth's atmosphere has a greenhouse effect, but he was the first to prove it. His proof rested on the fact that water vapor strongly absorbs infrared radiation. Relatedly, in 1860, Tyndall was the first to demonstrate and quantify that visually transparent gases are infrared emitters.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 640, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "12332c090b40132199bacf664aaa3130c9e413be", "raw_chars": 3414, "clean_chars": 3371, "edit_ratio": 0.2619, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Lounès Matoub (Kabyle: Lwennas Meɛṭub; Berber languages: ⵍⵡⴻⵏⵏⴰⵙ ⵎⴻⵄⵜⵓⴱ or ⵎⵄⵟⵓⴱ ⵍⵓⵏⵉⵙ; Arabic: معطوب لونّاس) (January 24, 1956 – June 25, 1998) was a prominent Algerian Berber singer, poet, thinker, and mandole player. Throughout his life, he was a vocal advocate for the Berber cause, human rights, and secularism in Algeria.\n\nMatoub was reviled by much of the Muslim population in Algeria due to his staunchly secular and atheist views, the alleged blasphemy in some of his songs, and his militant advocacy for Berber rights. Consequently, he was unpopular among both warring factions during the Algerian Civil War. His assassination, the circumstances of which remain unclear, provoked violent riots in Kabylie. To this day, Berber Algerians accuse the Algerian government of Matoub's murder, while some Algerian government officials have blamed Islamist terrorists for the crime.\n\nEarly Life\n\nLounès Matoub was born on January 24, 1956, in the village of Taourirt Moussa in Algerian Kabylie. At the age of nine, he built his first guitar from an empty car oil can and began composing songs as a teenager. His political and cultural identity was awakened by the armed confrontations between Kabyles and government forces in 1963–1964. In 1968, the Algerian government introduced a policy of Arabization in the education system. Matoub reacted by skipping school; in his memoirs, he recalled, \"We had to give up Berber and reject French. I said no! I played hooky in all my Arabic classes. Every class that I missed was an act of resistance, a slice of liberty conquered. My rejection was voluntary and purposeful.\" By 1975, he had abandoned formal education and left for France in search of work.\n\nMusical Career\n\nLounès Matoub was an Algerian singer of Kabyle music, often pictured with his Algerian mandole. He began his singing career under the patronage of the established singer Idir. He recorded his first album, Ay Izem (The Lion), in 1978, which was a phenomenal success. He went on to record 36 albums and wrote songs for other artists. He gave his first major concert in April 1980, during the \"Berber Spring\" protest movement in Kabylie.\n\nHis music blended Algerian Andalucian Chaabi orchestration with politicized Berber (Tamazight) lyrics, covering a broad variety of topics including the Berber cause, democracy, freedom, religion, Islamism, love, exile, memory, history, peace, and human rights. Unlike the Amazigh poet-musicians who preceded him, Matoub's style was direct and confrontational. Fellow musician Mohamed Alileche recalled, \"He went straight. He criticized a president. He mentioned the president of Algeria right in the beginning of his career. He goes black and white. He was very, very clear in his songs, and he is the only singer – not only in Algeria, but in all of North Africa – who criticized the government and criticized clearly. He would never get afraid.\"\n\nDespite being banned from Algerian radio and television during his lifetime, Matoub became, and remains, an extremely popular Kabyle singer.\n\nPolitical Events\n\nDuring the riots in October 1988, Matoub was shot five times by a policeman and left for dead. He was hospitalized for two years, requiring 17 surgeries, including the insertion of an artificial sacrum and the shortening of his leg by 5 cm. His 1989 album, L'Ironie du sort, describes his long convalescence.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 654, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e26bea53d9cc43c8562e792a2ed331158172048b", "raw_chars": 2422, "clean_chars": 2425, "edit_ratio": 0.9365, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In Local News, Public Transport / By Anthony Lim / 7 December 2016 10:22 am / 46 comments\n\nIt appears that taxi drivers may have lost their staunchest champion. According to a report from the Malay Mail Online, Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail, the owner of Big Blue Taxi Services, has reversed his position and is now supporting the legalization of ride-sharing services.\n\nThis shift in stance comes after his company was allegedly robbed of RM8,000 by a driver just three days prior. The driver, a man in his 50s who had worked for Big Blue Taxi for six years, has since disappeared. \"I have helped him out so many times, and this is how he repays me,\" Shamsubahrin said.\n\nHe has filed a police report and intends to take the taxi company, from which the missing driver obtained his permit, to court. The case will be filed under Section 43 of the Land Public Transport Act, which stipulates that a company can be held liable if a taxi driver is found guilty of any wrongdoing. Shamsubahrin claims this marks the first time a taxi company is being prosecuted under this specific section.\n\n\"The existing law we have is already strong, but the Land Public Transport Commission must be more effective and proactive in ensuring that we do not allow unethical and immoral individuals to work as taxi drivers,\" he explained.\n\nRegarding ride-sharing services, Shamsubahrin noted that because taxi drivers have remained unfazed by competition from Uber and Grab by refusing to adapt, he is urging the government to accelerate the process of regulating them. \"I support the approval of Uber and GrabCar services,\" he stated.\n\nThis represents a stark contrast to his previous stance. In October, he had argued that the government's plan to encourage aspiring ride-sharing drivers with a RM4,000 rebate to purchase a Proton Iriz was a clear indication of its intention to dismantle the taxi industry in favor of ride-sharing companies.\n\n\"You said you want to transform the taxi industry, but we saw nothing in the budget that was helpful to the taxi industry. Instead, you promote people to drive Uber,\" he had said at the time.\n\nHe also criticized the government's initiative to distribute 12,000 individual permits to qualified taxi drivers, describing the policies as half-baked. \"There is nothing concrete.

This part describes what changed since the previous article and expands on discussion points from the earlier write-up.\n\nState Machines Are Good Enough\n\nOne of the most debated topics in the discussion of the previous article was whether threads are the better abstraction for I/O. If OS threads are not good enough, some kind of green threading should be introduced. There are two such libraries being developed: mioco and simplesched (neither of them works in stable Rust yet). Still, I don't believe it's a good fit for low-level protocol handling.\n\nThis section looks at issues with the threading model for handling I/O in Rust. You may skip the section if you are more interested in Rotor rather than design decisions.\n\nMemory Ownership\n\nTypical request processing code looks like this:\n\n[Code block omitted]\n\nIt looks fine at a glance. There are no memory leaks here. But note that both \"buf\" and \"parsed\" are still being allocated while the response is being sent. They are useless at that point in time. Is it easy to fix? Yes, just pass them by value or wrap the code block in braces. Is it easy to find? No. The code is too simplistic to show you the complexity. But compare it to the state machine:\n\n[Code block omitted]\n\nIt's easy to reason about memory usage in this case. Also, note that nothing is allocated for an idle connection at all (except, obviously, the state machine itself).\n\n2. Timeout Handling\n\nTimeout handling is inevitable in any networking code. In most languages with green threading, timeouts are simple: spawn another micro-thread that sleeps and throws an exception to the parent. If the parent finishes earlier, kill the timer thread. But Rust doesn't have exceptions.\n\nAn example of timeout handling in Go should show you the complexity. To give you a short breakdown: it adds a timer with a callback, which finds the current \"cancel callback\" in a map, which in turn closes an underlying connection. The process involves at least three shared locked objects and may involve sending a message through a channel. Cancel callbacks are changed during the lifetime of the request several times, and special channels just for the cancel operation are created in multiple places (if it's not clear: that happens on every request even if no timeout occurred).\n\n3. Connection Pooling\n\nThreaded code dealing with client connections usually works along the lines of:\n\nAcquire a connection from the pool. Do something with the connection. Release the connection to the pool.\n\nSometimes it's okay. But often things go out of control. For example, one may use two different connections for backends A and B and keep both acquired at the same time.\n\nWhen resource A becomes slow, connection pool B quickly becomes exhausted too, just because coroutines hold on to the resource.\n\nThis is probably the norm for small Python applications which handle ten simultaneous requests. But this can quickly become an issue for a server in Rust which can probably process a million requests per second (unproven yet, but I've got half a million on a 4-core i7).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 670, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "e5fd6e18442219d7174d5d6803cf90aeac775385", "raw_chars": 3315, "clean_chars": 3387, "edit_ratio": 0.1027, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Rotor forces the user to think about such cases. The easiest way to handle client connections in Rotor is to send a message to a connection pool, with the message essentially saying, \"do this unit of work for me.\" Examples of such units of work include executing a request, pushing a message to Kafka, or executing a transaction. While this is possible with a threading model, it is much less common.\n\n4. Unit Tests\n\nIt is also much easier to unit test a state machine. You can inspect it layer by layer because the state machines in Rotor are generic over the type of the next layer. You can test each state and each action separately without starting from the initial handshake. Often, you can clone the state machine in a test and continue by multiple paths. Obviously, you can test an assembled state machine as well. You can test with a fake transport, meaning without actually creating the sockets.\n\nMany of the unit test features are easy and obvious on state machines but are impossible or very cumbersome on threaded code.\n\nWhat's New in Rotor?\n\nSo we keep state machines. We still pass them to actions by value and rely on return value optimization (RVO) to do that fast. We still use the Context thing and have state machine types generic over it.\n\nHowever, we get rid of Scope. This was an object that was carrying main loop operations to the state machine. It was too hard to handle because each layer of abstraction required a new unique type passed to the next layer and required that type to implement a number of traits. The traits could not be derived automatically in the current Rust language.\n\nThe most important subset of the functionality is now served by the return value. We have a common return type that is used in all actions:\n\nThe M is a state machine, and V is a return value from the action to the lower layer. The V is defined by the specific lower layer.\n\nYou should think of it as the asynchronous counterpart of Result. Any action may return \"Continue\" to wait for the next event, \"Stop\" to stop the state machine, or \"Timeout\" to set the timeout on a connection.\n\nThe value V is very dependent on the layer used. For example, on the lowest layer there is a trait EventMachine, which has the following action:\n\nIf an action returns \"Continue(m, Some(n))\" this means n is a new state machine that must be inserted into the map of the state machines of the main loop. The \"accept\" transport uses it to accept connections. (Note the type of both things is the same because all connections are stored in the same slab, so are of the same type; \"accept\" transport uses enum to differentiate between the initial listening socket and a client connection).\n\nAny communication between two subsequent layers may be performed as a series of the action calls and return values. For example, HTTP server implementation may accept full Response as value, but may also accept enum of Headers, ChunkOfBody, EndOfBody, to allow asynchronous response generation.\n\nTimers work similarly: return the time of the next wake up. Next timer returned from the action replaces the previous one. This allows to get rid of possible timer leaks. The timers of each subsequent layer coalesce into a single timer (simple \"min(x, y)\" operation), so we have maximum one timer per state machine. We currently use a deadline-style timers instead of timeout-style, unlike in system calls.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 683, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "b6be49bb88ba29ebc0962338fd2187c4b253199c", "raw_chars": 1483, "clean_chars": 1562, "edit_ratio": 0.1422, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Iraq strikes have broad international support, while Syria strikes do not.\n\nImmediately before the Iraq operation was announced, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting and passed a unanimous resolution expressing \"deep outrage\" at ISIS's attacks on vulnerable minority groups.

In 1100! Just think about that for a moment. 915 years ago on this island, uniquely in the world, great men were laying the philosophical foundations of a special type of liberty and striving to restrain the power of their rulers.\n\nIt marked the beginning of an historic struggle for the soul of England that took place over centuries while absolutism and tyranny was established unchallenged on the continent.\n\nWhen the struggle was won this great country of ours was the freest in the world. Freeborn Englishmen were envied and admired around the globe for the constitutional liberty they enjoyed and the spirit of freedom that thrived here like nowhere else. Sadly, that is all part of history now and we must fight this struggle once again.\n\nIt is a sign of the times that a British Prime Minister, and a Conservative at that, can say something like this:\n\n“For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens ‘as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone’”\n\nDid our Prime Minister really think about what he was saying when he uttered these disgraceful words when addressing British citizens? It is astonishingly blinkered to not realise just how dangerous this kind of rhetoric is and what the wider implications are.\n\nThe British people have been numbed to shockingly illiberal rhetoric such as this, it’s just a continuation of the Blairite authoritarian mantra. It is the equivalent to when Blair said, let no one be in any doubt, the rules of the game are changing”. Well, the rules are changing again and we are close to sweeping away every last vestige of British liberty.\n\nAs long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone should be a slogan for the British state to forever abide by because it is a basic tenet of a free society. The Prime Minister should remember that he works for British citizens and he is not our master.\n\nSadly, the majority election win is being seen as a mandate to clamp down on civil liberties in the name of security from the Islamist bogeymen. A ghastly combination of paternalism, New Labour style authoritarianism and the restless government urge to be seen to be doing something is the dominant force in the Conservative Party now.

As you can imagine, that requires that the template be very versatile and that our designers be very nimble.\n\nSo by virtue of the fact that we're constantly launching new blogs, we're also in a perpetual state of revision and refinement. We're fine-tuning the typography, adding new features to the right-hand column, incorporating new kinds of media content into the articles, and so on. All of which is work that may then be reflected back on the other blogs. Jeremy Zilar, the design technologist in my group whose primary responsibility is to develop and support these blogs, said, \"Every blog we launch seems to bring something new to our template that every other blog can benefit from.\"\n\nAs for the logos that we've developed for the blogs, that too has been an evolution. In the beginning, we were very liberal with our use of art, and gave illustrators lots of creative leeway to render a distinct visual identity at the top of each new blog.\n\nOver time though, we've refined our approach so that the typography is more or less consistent, and that each logo has a compact, iconographic illustration to identify it. In one of my favorite examples of our Web staff working with our colleagues in the print art department, almost all of these logos are a tight collaboration between Rebecca Paterson, one of our very talented digital designers, and Nicholas Blechman, who art directs the Book Review section.\n\nFor each new blog, they work together to brainstorm a concept, select a freelance illustrator, and art direct its execution. Within that fairly restrictive formula we've set for the art, I think they've done an amazing job cultivating a great variety of artful logos.\n\nThe Publishing Software\n\nQ. I was wondering how permissive the New York Times's content management system is with custom layout. Is there only one template that an article must follow, or are there exceptions? If there are exceptions, how do you handle them?\n\nQ. How involved are you in the design of the content management system that feeds the NYTimes.com front end? The posting of news and videos to a popular media site in a timely manner requires a highly usable and dummy-proof solution. Is your back end as user-friendly as your front end? Cheers from a fellow Otis grad.\n\nA. Our content management system — the software that we use to publish our articles on our Web site — is based on a finite number of templates. So in large measure we're resigned to working within those pre-determined layouts. The range of expression that you see day to day on the home page and on our various section fronts is really a credit to the editors and producers who do the actual publishing of the articles. They use the CMS the most and have learned to be very creative with it.

Not many of you, apparently. Who, instead, thought three months ago that the 2016 Orioles would be fortunate to finish the season with 75 wins? A few more hands went up, and we are among you.\n\nWe will not dwell on our previous reasoning, if it can even be called that. We will point out, however, that the Orioles will certainly come back down to earth. First, none of the other teams in the AL East will be pushovers. More importantly, the Orioles have been somewhat fortunate so far this year, just as they were somewhat unfortunate last year. Their current record is 26-17, but their Pythagorean projection places them closer to 24-19. Conversely, the 2015 Orioles finished with an 81-81 record, whereas their Pythagorean projection suggested a record closer to 83-79. Over a 43-game span, that difference accounts for about 22 wins. The small discrepancy between the two seasons can be fully explained by the acquisition of Mark Trumbo and the emergence of Kevin Gausman.\n\nWe must confess to being mistaken about the Orioles not only in broad strokes but in specific details. We did (sort of) tout Joey Rickard before anyone else, and we are proud of that prediction, although he has certainly cooled off recently. However, we did not foresee a bounce-back performance from Chris Tillman. And the player we absolutely adored on draft day was Pedro Alvarez, who is currently batting .191/.300/.351. You know how Major League Baseball might try to shorten games by using automatic intentional walks? We propose automatic strikeouts, starting with Pedro. There is no need to even have him approach home plate.\n\nSo our previous Orioles picks have been wrong. But perhaps our next pick will be right. In fact, we are sure it will be: Mike Wright, starting pitcher. His story so far, in brief: right-handed, 26 years old, former good-not-great prospect, posted a 6.04 ERA in a nine-start audition last season, and a 4.97 ERA in seven starts this season. He is a durable, hard-throwing pitcher with good stuff but command problems, and he misses too few bats. He is currently owned in only 1% of Yahoo and ESPN fantasy leagues.

I use QWERTY when I travel, and Norman is only a fifteen-key difference from QWERTY.\n\nI use Vim with both QWERTY and Norman, and I do not remap anything in Vim. In the beginning, I had one annoying issue: the HJKL keys on Norman are in unusual locations. I kept hitting U instead of J. That was a painful week, but now everything is fine.\n\nLooking back, I am not entirely sure if all these layouts made a significant difference in my case. I can learn any crazy layout and reach an average speed in a few weeks, but it will not increase my speed beyond that level. Maybe I should try QWERTY on the ErgoDox someday.\n\nLevel Up\n\nIf you need to type at high speed for hours at a time, you should probably follow Mirabai Knight and learn stenography. Beware: the learning curve for steno is steep, and you need a steno machine (or, for the first time, an NKRO keyboard like the ErgoDox).\n\nConclusion\n\nTyping can be fun if you fix your bad typing habits. The earlier you start learning, the more rewarding it can be. Teach kids to touch type as soon as they start playing with the computer. This skill will stay relevant for at least one more generation.\n\nIf you want to take away only one thing from my story, it is this: Learn proper touch typing technique today.\n\nRecipe\n\nTake a typing test on Keyhero. If you are slower than 40 words per minute, practice for fifteen minutes every day for a month. If your accuracy is lower than 95%, slow down and try to type as accurately as possible.\n\nIf you type more than four hours every day, you should use an ergonomic keyboard.\n\nSee Also\n\nTyping with Pleasure by Pavel Fating, Programming's Dirtiest Little Secret by Steve Yegge, Norman Layout by David Norman, My Keyboard Layout on GitHub", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 739, "chunk_idx": 8, "raw_sha1": "59e2f6bf6171ba82250b87f8c8808da8e7ed90f6", "raw_chars": 2400, "clean_chars": 1922, "edit_ratio": 0.6497, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Air pollution and the resulting acid rain severely affect lakes and damage forests.

The administration has also summoned outside experts, such as Karl F. Inderfurth, a former senior diplomat who led the U.S. delegation to Ottawa in 1997, where the United States watched as 120 other countries signed the pact.\n\n“I’m guardedly optimistic,” said a senior administration official who favors the treaty but spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. “Why stick with the status quo when we would get so much credit for even a modest move?”\n\nA Pentagon spokesman said it would be “premature” to comment before the review was completed. It remains unclear where Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates stands on the issue.\n\nThe White House stated that the United States is already helping to deal with the fallout from land mines. “The U.S. record on humanitarian mine action shows that we share the concern of parties to the Ottawa Convention,” said Michael Hammer, a spokesman for the National Security Council.\n\nSome analysts argue that the rationale for land mines is even weaker now than it was in 1997. Technological advances have enabled the Pentagon to create explosives that function like mines but are detonated remotely, making them permissible under the treaty. The United States has not used land mines since 1991, despite fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—two countries that have ratified the treaty.\n\n“The situation has changed significantly in recent years,” said Mr. Inderfurth, who is now a professor of international affairs at George Washington University. “There is every reason to believe we could join this treaty.”\n\nThe following week, Senator Patrick Leahy planned to send a letter to President Obama, urging him to join the ban.

Brent Butterworth has provided detailed reasoning for this phenomenon. In a recent study, various test subjects listened to the same headphones and shared their opinions. Interestingly, every participant had a unique perspective on the sound, confirming the theory that individuals disagree on the same audio output.\n\nEvery human has different hearing and interpretation capabilities\n\nThe reason for these differing interpretations lies in the development of human ears, as ear canals vary from person to person. Jacob Soendergaard, a sales engineer at a sound and vibration company, explains that each minute variation in geometry—such as the shape of the ear canal, the amount of folds and creases, the aspect ratio, the location of double bends, and the size of the tympanic membrane (eardrum)—affects hearing perception. This is especially true at high frequencies with very short wavelengths.\n\nConsequently, for frequencies between 10 kHz and 20 kHz, which fall within the human hearing range, even a minuscule difference in the positioning of the eardrum, which acts as a measurement device, by a millimeter can result in varied sound experiences from person to person.\n\nEvery human has a different headphone’s space-sense\n\nScientifically, the human brain uses the head-related transfer function (HRTF) to locate sound in three dimensions. This function involves the time difference between the arrival of sound at each ear, differences in sound levels, and differences in frequency caused by the acoustical effects of the head, shoulders, and pinnae. All these factors support the interpretation of sound.\n\nHeadphones adjustments to the ears\n\nThe fit of headphones plays a significant role in their sound performance. It depends on how well the ear pads of the headphones seal against the pinna. A good seal ensures strong bass response. If any space is created between the ear pads and the ear, the headphones will produce weak bass, which can lead to tonal imbalance.\n\nDifferent humans have different tastes\n\nOne of the reasons behind differing opinions is the varied perception of headphone sound. This is understandable, as every person is unique, and likes and dislikes for a particular headphone sound largely depend on which sound profile is more appealing to the individual.\n\nHearing ability varies\n\nHearing capability changes with age. If the human ear is exposed to loud sounds continuously, it may result in reduced hearing capabilities over time, as the ear loses efficiency at processing loud sounds. Additionally, as people age, the hearing mechanisms start to show changes, and their efficiency slowly diminishes.\n\nSource: Lifewire", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 762, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "dd481b273f2996aa8cae635e4f111b9d855a752a", "raw_chars": 3361, "clean_chars": 3330, "edit_ratio": 0.3316, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To qualify for tax-exempt status, an organization must be devoted to the improvement of business conditions for one or more lines of business, rather than merely performing particular services for individual persons. It must be demonstrated that the conditions of a particular trade or the interests of the community will be advanced. Simply indicating the name of the organization or the object of the local statute under which it is created is insufficient to demonstrate this required general purpose.\n\nIn its 2010 Form 990 tax return, the NFL described itself as a \"trade association promoting interests of its 32 member clubs.\" Whether promoting the interests of 32 member clubs equates to improving business conditions is a matter for the IRS to decide.\n\nBecause the phrase \"professional football leagues\" was added to the relevant text, the NFL is protected, but the Internal Revenue Service interprets this to mean that other sporting leagues are similarly protected. This is a notion that Tenenbaum himself views with suspicion.\n\n\"I think the legitimate question is, 'Does the fact that they were written in so specifically, with some very particular, specific language, mean that Congress actually meant to exempt the NFL from taxes under section 501(c)(6)? Or was Congress simply saying a professional sports league that broadly promotes a particular sport is another category of what we mean by 501(c)(6)? The NFL may or may not be one of those. We really don't know the answer to that,'\" Tenenbaum stated.\n\nTo truly understand whether the NFL meets these criteria, a basic understanding of the organization's structure is required. The league's origins date back to September 17, 1920, when team owners and football enthusiasts gathered in Canton, Ohio, to organize a central group that makes and enforces rules. Today, the NFL represents 32 teams across two conferences: the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).\n\nThe organization's main duties include hiring league employees, disciplining rule-breakers, negotiating television deals, distributing money from those television profits to teams, suspending players and coaches, handing down fines, and, in serious cases, canceling contracts or stripping teams of draft picks.\n\nTo conduct its business, each team pays annual dues. According to Forbes, only about $500,000 of the league's money comes in annually from fines and penalties, and less than $200,000 comes from investment income. Teams pay the organization about $6 million in dues annually. However, as SportsFans.org reports, team owners are not taxed on that money since it is considered a donation to a nonprofit organization.\n\nDespite the NFL being the most profitable sport in the US, the league itself is actually operating at a loss. In 2011 alone, the NFL reported $77 million in losses.\n\n\"The expenses outweigh the revenues, so it is actually losing money. The irony is that if it were a taxable entity, it wouldn't be paying any tax because, like any tax-paying entity, if you exceed your revenues, you don't pay any tax; there's no net income,\" Tenenbaum pointed out.\n\nBut how can a league that brings in over $250 million annually still report losses year after year?

These developments mark the first steps toward regulating \"surrogacy tourism\" in the country. Under the new rules, foreign couples wishing to enter into a surrogacy arrangement in India must be a married man and woman whose marriage has lasted at least two years.\n\nThe rule changes, published on the Indian home ministry's website, were immediately denounced by fertility clinics and gay rights activists as discriminatory. Dr. Rita Bakshi, who heads the International Fertility Centre in New Delhi, criticized the measures. \"Parenting is everybody's right, and now we're withdrawing that right,\" she told AFP. \"These rules are definitely not welcome, definitely restrictive, and very discriminatory.\"\n\nFertility doctor Anoop Gupta echoed these sentiments, describing the changes as a \"huge heartbreak for homosexual couples and singles.\" Gay rights campaigners also condemned the updates to the rules, which had legalized surrogacy in 2002. Nitin Karani, a gay rights advocate in Mumbai, told AFP, \"It's totally unfair—not only for gay people but for people who are not married who may have been living together for years, and for singles.\"\n\nIndia has long been a popular destination for gay couples seeking children, despite remaining a largely conservative nation that only decriminalized consensual sex between homosexuals in 2011. The home ministry declined to comment on the new stipulations, which require would-be parents to provide proof that their home country will grant citizenship to any baby born to a surrogate mother. This requirement addresses several high-profile cases in recent years where babies born through cross-border surrogacy were left in citizenship limbo because their parents' countries refused to issue them passports.\n\nSurrogacy is banned in some European countries and is subject to strict regulation in the United States. The new Indian rules, which also mandate that applicants apply for a medical visa rather than a tourist visa, come as legislation to fully regulate the industry has yet to be passed by parliament. A proposed bill states that only women aged between 21 and 35 can act as surrogates but sets no minimum payment for the mother.\n\nCritics argue that the lack of comprehensive legislation governing surrogacy encourages the exploitation of young, poor Indian women in a \"rent-a-womb\" industry. While the government has been promoting the country as a medical tourism destination, the practice of wealthy foreigners paying poor Indians to carry babies has raised significant ethical concerns among many Indians. Clinic owners deny any ill-treatment of surrogate mothers, arguing that it is in their interest to treat the women well to ensure the birth of healthy babies.\n\nThe cost of surrogacy in India ranges from approximately $18,000 to $30,000, with about $8,000 going to the surrogate mother. According to Dr. Bakshi, this figure is roughly a third of the price in the United States. Hari Ramasubramanian, founding partner of Indian Surrogacy Law, stated that the new measures were introduced without \"proper consultation\" and need to be challenged in court. \"A lot of people who will be affected had seen India as a wonderful option for getting into parenthood, and now this option is closed.

Smith. This modification was the subject of an evaluative report by Captain Merritt A. Edson, the ordnance officer at the Quartermaster's Depot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The barrel was shortened by nine inches (229 mm) at the muzzle, and the gas port and gas cylinder tube were relocated. The modified BAR weighed 13 pounds 12 ounces (6.24 kg) and measured only 34.5 inches (880 mm) in overall length. Although it proved superior to the standard M1918 in accuracy when fired prone in automatic mode and equal in accuracy at ranges of 500 to 600 yards (460 to 550 meters) from a rest, it was less accurate when fired from the shoulder. It also produced a loud report combined with a fierce muzzle blast. Attaching a Cutts compensator materially reduced the muzzle blast, but this benefit was more than offset by the increase in smoke and dust at the muzzle when fired, which obscured the operator's vision. Furthermore, the compensator did not improve control of the weapon when fired in bursts of automatic fire. Although the report recommended building six of these short-barreled jungle BARs for further evaluation, no further work was done on the project.\n\nThe M1918A1, featuring a lightweight spiked bipod with a leg height adjustment feature attached to the gas cylinder and a hinged steel butt plate, was formally approved on June 24, 1937. The M1918A1 was intended to increase the weapon's effectiveness and controllability when firing in bursts. Relatively few M1918s were rebuilt to the new M1918A1 standard.\n\nIn April 1938, work commenced on an improved BAR for the US Army. The army specified a need for a BAR designed to serve in the role of a light machine gun for squad-level support fire. Early prototypes were fitted with barrel-mounted bipods, pistol grip housings, and a unique rate-of-fire reducer mechanism purchased from FN Herstal. The rate reducer mechanism performed well in trials, and the pistol grip housing enabled the operator to fire more comfortably from the prone position. However, in 1939, the army declared that all modifications to the basic BAR be capable of being retrofitted to earlier M1918 guns with no loss of parts interchangeability. This effectively killed the FN-designed pistol grip and its proven rate reducer mechanism for the new M1918 replacement.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 776, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "2ada49267bd73ddc317551e0274136e86626a6a8", "raw_chars": 3415, "clean_chars": 3160, "edit_ratio": 0.8318, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "What they are actually going to get is seven videos in which all our work will be embedded as digital content. The problem with doing a traditional report is that, as happened last time, a group of people like me sit in a room while experts talk about the subject with other experts. We peer-review each other's work and then go home. It becomes a circular internal conversation.\n\nThis information has to go out to New Zealand. It has to be understood by New Zealanders, by voters, and by taxpayers. To do that, we have to take the jargon out of it. We have to make it sensible, interesting, and compelling, and present it in ways that make sense. There will be quick, interesting, and hopefully quite funny videos that people can watch. Within those videos, the research and recommendations will be embedded, along with a few other elements. It is a very different type of work, and there will not be a traditional report.\n\nI want to then talk about some of the fairness issues, because you have touched on that.\n\nYes.\n\nSo, between generations and between workers, how is raising the age of superannuation, even if it is incremental, fair to Māori, who have a lower life expectancy?\n\nAbsolutely.\n\nOr to people who are physically worn out because of the jobs they have had in their lives?\n\nThis is really important because, actually, if you talk to people about this, their feelings change toward raising the age. What I have learned this year from all the work we have done, and from traveling around New Zealand with my listening ears on, is that we need to change our framing. We talk about 65 to 67. That is a really old conversation. We have to stop talking about 65 to 67. We need to talk about 50 to 70. That is where the conversation needs to be, because we engage with people who are in their early 50s and cannot go much further in terms of work.\n\nAre they going to have exemptions?\n\nWe need to step back. There are two groups here: one group could frankly work to 70 without a problem, but for others, 65 is not the issue. If they have an issue at 65, they would have had an issue at 55. So if we raise the age today—and I am not saying we are going to—we would save 1.6 billion. You take that 1.6 billion and look at where it needs to be invested for people in their early 50s. Is it a career change? Is it retraining? What do they need? Do they need a hearing aid? What do people need throughout their 50s to take them into their 60s and 70s?\n\nSo you are talking about stretching their work life no matter what they do now?\n\nI think for some of them, yes, and for some people, no.\n\nWill there be exceptions?\n\nI think it is changing. We are seeing people much healthier for much longer. The other thing to remember is that jobs are changing. Many of those manual jobs that broke people are dying out. But we need to say really clearly: take the 1.6 billion, look at the people who simply cannot work and make sure they are looked after. Look at the people who could work but just need retraining and retrain them. Then there are the people, frankly, who are 65, going strong, fit as a fiddle, and working full-time.

The more and the better you give, the more and the better you will receive.\n\nFiles are shared with PNF Software (they are not shared directly with other users);\n\nContributions and users are algorithmically ranked and scored;\n\nIn exchange for their contributions, users receive more files, based on their score.\n\nThe goal is to offer a platform for reversers that can (and wish to) share malware files to easily do it, with the added incentive of receiving samples in return — including relatively high-value files that may not be accessible to most users, such as files that are not publicly downloadable on most malware trackers; or files that are not present on malware databases at all, including VirusTotal.\n\nObviously, the service is entirely optional. Any user, including users of the demo version, may use it whenever they please.\n\nGetting started\n\nThe latest JEB update will let you know about the Malware Sharing Network right after you upgrade.

This page details our investigation.\n\nWe have verified that five technological trends underwent a discontinuous jump in improvement equivalent to more than a decade at previous rates, three of which underwent more than a century of progress.\n\nMotivations\n\nWe are interested in whether artificial intelligence research is likely to undergo discontinuous progress in the lead-up to human-level capabilities, or whether it will get there via incremental steps. If the former, we are interested in the nature of such discontinuities.\n\nWhy are we interested in this? If discontinuity is likely, a transition to AI is more likely to be abrupt, more likely to be soon, and more likely to be disruptive. Also, if we think a discontinuity is likely, then our research should investigate questions such as how to prepare or be warned, and not questions like when the present trajectories of AI progress will reach human-level capabilities. As well as being decision relevant and important, this question appears to attract substantial disagreement, making it particularly important to resolve.\n\nThis project aims to shed light on the potential for discontinuities in AI by investigating the degree and nature of discontinuities in other technologies. This seems an informative baseline for our expectations about AI, especially if we have no strong reason to expect artificial intelligence to be radically unusual in this regard.\n\nWe are interested in several specific questions, such as: How common is abrupt progress in technology? Where there are discontinuities, how much progress do they represent relative to previous rates of progress? What predicts such discontinuities, if anything?\n\nWe are also interested in overall distributions of size of progress increments, but searching specifically for the very largest increments bears on this in a less straightforward way, so we are likely to investigate it by other means later.\n\nMethods\n\nWe have collected around fifty instances of technological change which are contenders for being discontinuous. Many of these are suggestions offered to us in response to a Facebook question, a Quora question, and personal communications. We obtained some by searching for abrupt graphs in Google Images, and noting their subject matter.\n\nWe are taking these cases one by one, and assessing whether each involved discontinuous progress on plausible and interesting metrics. For instance, if we were told that fishing hooks became radically stronger in 1997, we might investigate the strength of fishing hooks over time—if we could find the data—and also their cost and how many fish could be caught, because these are measures of more natural interest which we might expect to be related.\n\nWe generally count progress in an area as 'discontinuous' if the improvement between two measurements is far larger than what one would normally expect over the same time period. This definition is open to revision, as we gain a better understanding of the landscape.\n\nTentative findings\n\nWe know of four large or moderate discontinuities.

The loss of their star striker would have been painful enough, but to lose him to their most hated rival was heartbreaking. Just months earlier, he had been kissing the club shirt and singing with fans under the stands, shouting about defending the city. Now, he played for the team whose fans invoke Mount Vesuvius to bury that city in lava. As if that were not enough, his motivation for leaving was equally hurtful to supporters. Higuaín did not leave for money. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis stated that he had offered the Argentine striker more than he is currently receiving at Juventus. Higuaín left \"to win.\" He obviously did not believe he could achieve that in a blue shirt, and if he did not believe it, why should the fans? Without his help and his 36 goals, what reason would there be to dream of competing for trophies?\n\nWhile the supporters remained in shock, the club went to work, acquiring some of the most talented young players in Italy and Europe, including Arkadiusz Milik, Piotr Zieliński, Moussa Diawara, Krzysztof Piątek, and Filip Maksimović. Yet, with youth comes inexperience, and it was natural to think it would take time for the new acquisitions to settle in and contribute on the field. However, two of the youngsters given a chance, Zieliński and Milik, have made an immediate impact. Zieliński is already pushing Allan for a starting spot, and Milik has made his claim as the starting striker with a goal-per-minute ratio that is among the best in Europe. Their contributions so far have been invaluable, giving fans reason to have high, but tempered, expectations for the other additions.\n\nWhat has really stood out, however, is how the team as a whole has performed on the pitch. Sometimes, having a star player can damage a team, as they may look to force-feed him the ball in times of need. Perhaps this was the case with Higuaín at Napoli; for as impressive as the team was last season, they look even better this year. The team’s movement seems more coordinated. At their best, the players have looked like a single attacking entity. They did at times last year as well, but now it seems like the normal run of affairs. Without a doubt, the extra time for returning players to learn Maurizio Sarri’s system has helped, yet one cannot help but wonder if they are also playing a bit more freely mentally, without having to worry about feeding a striker who would at times throw a fit if he was not serviced well.\n\nIt is important to remain grounded and remember that Juventus are still clear favorites to win the title. They had a terrible start to last season, only to put on an amazing run of 25 matches in which they collected 73 out of a possible 75 points. At the same time, it is also important to appreciate this moment at the top of the table, to be grateful to the coach and players who have left fans wondering if, out of their midsummer despair, they have emerged stronger than ever.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 810, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "345ce38a0236a678f8c2186feba1c7004258fdac", "raw_chars": 858, "clean_chars": 852, "edit_ratio": 0.4842, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We have all seen them before.

Spurred by the rising sales of antioxidant supplements, Pom Wonderful, makers of pomegranate juice, now makes an antioxidant supplement that they claim has \"extraordinary health benefits.\"\n\nThis proclamation is echoed by numerous health supplement ads in health food stores and on the Internet. For instance, Source Naturals Resveratrol advises on the General Nutrition Centers Web site that taking antioxidants \"…may help prevent free-radical damage throughout the body and provide protective support to the cardiovascular system.*\" Problem solved. Except a bit of a buzz-kill is delivered by the asterisked footnote: \"These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.\"\n\nSo, do the purported health benefits of antioxidants actually exist?\n\nHere's the theory: Just as the name suggests, antioxidants slow down oxidation, a process that is part of normal bodily functions but can also damage cells. Oxidation can even increase the stickiness of cholesterol, upping the risk that it will block circulation and cause heart attacks or strokes.\n\nSo it at least theoretically makes sense that antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and other antioxidant compounds found in carrots and other vegetables, are good for you. Ditto antioxidants found in pomegranates, red wine and licorice root. And early studies in the 1990s showed that people who ate more antioxidants had a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.\n\nBut those findings didn't hold up for antioxidant supplements. In later studies, such supplements did not affect risk of—and in some studies actually increased—heart attacks and strokes.\n\nNancy Cook, an epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and a co-author of one of these studies, suggests two possible explanations for these results: It could be that studies of supplements are using the wrong doses and combinations of antioxidants. Or, people who eat lots of antioxidants—in foods, not supplements—are already doing the kinds of things that lower heart disease risk, namely exercise and, well, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.\n\nBiochemist Michael Aviram of the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel, suggests another alternative. His research focuses on pomegranates. In a recent study, he found that mice bred to have blockages in their arteries and developed fewer blockages in their arteries after they were fed parts of pomegranates. Because such blockages can cause heart attacks and strokes, he says his studies suggest antioxidants work against such events. And although earlier studies found that vitamin E—another antioxidant—didn't clear such blockages, he found that the kinds of antioxidants in pomegranates do. His theory: there are many sources of oxidative stress—viruses, toxins, physical strain—and each antioxidant might be effective against a particular type of stress, but not the others.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 825, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "b19f44f7bfdceb282549a8d532eeec86285226b4", "raw_chars": 1460, "clean_chars": 1230, "edit_ratio": 0.7948, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "While voters interviewed here did not clamor for tax cuts, they expressed a generalized but plaintive cry for less noise and more action.

While the guardian has many similarities with existing archetypes, the precise composition of the guardian is something that doesn’t really have an established name in the genre. While the ‘paladin’ archetype is probably closest, the guardian extends much broader (as I discussed after the guardian’s release) and paladins are typically associated with having a specific religious belief, which would fit poorly with the range of religious positions (or lack thereof) of the playable races.\n\nWith that said, the term ‘guardian’ has made for a fair label. It may not be as evocative as terms like ‘ranger’ and ‘elementalist’… however, it is functional and descriptive enough for the guardian’s abilities and role, and there aren’t really any more exotic terms that fit.\n\nThe term ‘dragonhunter’, on the other hand… Skyrim jokes aside, it feels a bit like a development placeholder term that never got replaced. While both terms are somewhat pedestrian at first glance, ‘guardian’ is descriptive to the general (but not exclusive) focus on defensive magic while remaining generic enough that it is easy to expect any organisation to include guardians within its ranks (some more than others, of course). Similarly, each of the other profession names, including the chronomancer specialisation, focus on abilities rather than goals.\n\nUnlike the Chronomancer, whose name identifies their abilities, the name ‘dragonhunter’ seems to dictate the character’s objectives and personality while saying little about their abilities.\n\nFor the dragonhunter, this is turned on its head. The term says little about the character’s abilities, while limiting the character in goals: by its name, a dragonhunter is implied to only be focused on fighting the dragons, rather than pursuing other threats and goals. In the latest Ready Up, in fact, we are explicitly told that dragonhunters focus their efforts on hunting dragon minions, including taking up something of a ‘witch hunter’ aspect in sniffing out Mordremoth-influenced sylvari and other dragon-corrupted individuals among their allies. While it is a reasonable assumption that the PCs would have such a primary goal, it does lead to the impression that ArenaNet is telling us what the personality of the character should be, rather than letting the player come to their own opinion of their character’s goals and motivations.\n\nAlso, unlike the term ‘guardian’, it does not feel as if there is a lack of other terms that can be used. For instance, one proposal I would be inclined to make would be “Vigilant” – the implied connection to the Vigil can still indicate that it originates from dragon-fighting organisations, while also evoking the image of a sentinel standing watch over a town, ready to defend against interlopers through skilled archery and well-placed traps.\n\nNow that we’ve got the complaining about names out of the way, let’s look at the profession itself…\n\nWhat’s Old Is New Again\n\nThe new guardian elite specialisation feels a lot like ArenaNet is adding a ranger-like option for the guardian.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 825, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c90c4c47437469686445cb80bf91e81234a6589b", "raw_chars": 3459, "clean_chars": 2837, "edit_ratio": 0.3923, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Rural counties in western Wisconsin have become difficult to predict politically.

But today, that frustration with politics appears undiminished and is aimed in all directions, including at Trump.\n\n“We’re wasting so much time,” said Trump voter Robin DeFabbio, interviewed at Kelly’s Coffee House here. She would like Trump's staff to take his Twitter account away. “He’s like a very bad child that I’m glad I didn’t raise,” she said. She laments a do-little Congress, two parties that can’t work together, ceaseless division, the media circus over Trump, and a swamp that hasn't been drained. “You just get disappointed on a bunch of levels, not just with President Trump. Everything's in gridlock, nothing's moving. You can’t get anywhere like this,” she said.\n\nAt taverns, churches, bowling alleys, and American Legion halls, people here echo that discontent. Hillary Clinton voters are disconsolate and Trump appalls them. Trump voters who are happy with Trump are unhappy with Congress and Trump’s GOP critics. Trump voters who are critical of Trump — and they’re not too hard to find here — display everything from resignation to pique to exasperation with his behavior. Voters of all stripes complain about the political culture, including the media, the parties, and the inability to have a respectful conversation about politics with political opponents.\n\n“I am a political science major. I am starting to hate politics. Actually, not starting, I do hate politics: the vitriol and the vulgarity and the lack of willingness to talk to people,” said Kari Walker, co-owner with her husband of the Touchdown Tavern in Reedsburg, Wisconsin.

She had come to the aid of a library under attack, telling her mother that she wanted to speak up. \"I used to go to the library knowing there were people there to help me find a book. Now there is no one to help me,\" Sydney said solemnly. \"It will never be the same without the people you fired.\"\n\nSydney nestled back into her seat, but that did not stop 69-year-old criminal attorney Constantine \"Connie\" Xinos from boldly putting her in her place. \"Those who come up here with tears in their eyes talking about the library, put your money where your mouth is,\" Xinos shot back. He told Sydney and others who spoke against the layoffs of the three full-time staffers, including the head librarian and children's librarian, and two part-timers to stop \"whining\" and raise the money themselves. \"I don't care that you guys miss the librarian, and she was nice, and she helped you find books,\" Xinos told them. \"Don't cry crocodile tears about people who are making $100,000 a year wiping tables and putting the books back on the shelves,\" Xinos smirked, apparently referencing the fired head librarian, who has advanced degrees and made $98,676 a year. He said Oak Brook had to \"stop indulging people in their hobbies\" and \"their little, personal, private wants.\"\n\nSydney was upset and \"her little friend was in tears\" after Xinos spoke at the meeting last week, says mom Hope Sabbagha. \"I wanted that kid to lose sleep that night,\" a grinning Xinos says Wednesday, as he invites me for a nearly two-hour interview in his Mercedes-Benz in the gated Oak Brook community where he lives. \"This is the real world and the lesson, you folks who brought your kids here, is if you want something, pay for it.\"\n\nXinos, who unsuccessfully sued to stop the building of the new library, which opened in 2002, sits on one side of the issue. He lost his election bid to be a village board member, but has been president of his home association since 1983 and worked to elect board members who agree with him about the library.\n\nOn the other side sits Barbara Benezra, the longtime president of the Friends of the Oak Brook Public Library, who considers the library \"my third child.\" \"This is the heart of the village,\" Benezra says as she tours the library and surrounding gardens under a sign sporting a Cicero quotation reading, \"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.\" \"We don't have a grocery store,\" Benezra says. \"We have this.\"\n\nWhile Benezra acknowledges the need for some budget cuts at the library, given the recession, she says, \"There's always been a faction of this town that's been anti-library.\"\n\nThe librarians, who stereotypically remain hushed for this story, obviously feel a bit threatened. They have turned to the Teamsters for some labor help. Teamster librarians in Oak Brook?

Since then, its form has changed considerably due to the rise and fall of Lake Michigan, which has fluctuated over a differential of 375 feet. The lake dropped to a very low level about 8,000 years ago and remained there for 4,000 years. During this period, the land was not an island at all but an appendage of the mainland. Later, the lake rose to 30 feet above its present level, submerging all of Beaver except the central plateau. It then dropped about ten feet, producing a slightly smaller version of our present island. The edge of this configuration was layered with beach gravel. When a logging railroad was built in 1904, it was placed on this firm bed.\n\nWe know that Native Americans passed by Beaver Island as long ago as 2,200 years. There is no proof that they lived here, but the oral tradition of the Odawas, who have resided here for over 300 years, is that there were small fishing villages in many of the bays when they arrived. Arrowheads, spearheads, and fragments of Woodland-period pottery indicate that at least they came ashore. Fire-cracked rocks mark their cooking fires along the bluff. In 1871, the archaeologist Henry Gillman opened some of the mounds in the harbor and was surprised at the \"uncommonly skillful workmanship\" of the artifacts he found. The Odawas (Ottawas) migrated westward in the ripples of Native American movement that retreated from contact with the whites, arriving on Beaver Island in the mid-1700s. At times they were recruited to help in skirmishes between the English and the French, but little was known about their lives until Father Baraga came from L'Arbre Croche in 1832 to convert the Indians living on the north shore to Catholicism. He baptized 22 Indians, but those living in the settlement near Whiskey Point remained pagan. A few years later, some of the 199 Indians living on Garden Island, 2 miles north (and the site of over 3,000 Indian graves), were converted by other missionaries.\n\nWhite traders and trappers began to appear in the early 1800s. Trapping, fishing, and cutting wood for the passing steamers allowed men to earn a living at this frontier. By the 1840s, two trading posts were flourishing. Economic power shifted here from Mackinac Island because of Beaver's good fishing, ample forests, and vastly superior harbor. In 1850, 100 people lived in a growing community at Whiskey Point, unaware that the few Mormons already present would soon overwhelm them and force them to leave.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 842, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c0c946b3c05d09eb03a30087804c092ed2695aa5", "raw_chars": 3287, "clean_chars": 3190, "edit_ratio": 0.145, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The family of Egyptian business tycoon Salah Diab utilized a corporate network comprising Egyptian and offshore companies to sign agreements and strike deals with the Egyptian government, according to the second wave of the Panama Papers released worldwide on Monday.\n\nAswat Masriya joined international media platforms in publishing this second wave of the Panama Papers, an unprecedented investigation that reveals the offshore links of some of the globe’s most prominent figures. This second wave focuses on uncovering offshore empires in Africa.\n\nThe International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), together with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other media partners, spent a year sifting through 11.5 million leaked files to expose the offshore holdings of world political leaders, links to global scandals, and details of the hidden financial dealings of fraudsters, drug traffickers, billionaires, celebrities, sports stars, and others.\n\nThe trove of documents is likely the biggest leak of inside information in history. It includes nearly 40 years of data from a little-known but powerful law firm based in Panama. That firm, Mossack Fonseca, has offices in more than 35 locations around the globe and is one of the world’s top creators of shell companies, corporate structures that can be used to hide ownership of assets.\n\nLeaked data obtained by the ICIJ reveal agreements involving the petroleum sector in Egypt. One agreement between Pico International Petroleum, a subsidiary of Egypt’s Pico Group, and the Egyptian government concerned millions in development costs for the lucrative Al-Amal Petroleum Field located in the Gulf of Suez.\n\nSeveral partners were part of this deal: the national oil company Egyptian General Petroleum Company (EGPC), Greystone, and Pico International. Both Greystone and the Pico Group are owned by the Diab family. Greystone is registered in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), while Pico is registered as an Egyptian company. The project involves the expansion and development of an onshore processing plant.\n\nThe Egyptian government claimed to be unaware of the offshore activities involved in the agreement.

We don't know anything about the offshore activities of Pico International Petroleum and Greystone.

On April 28, 2016, the first night of the NFL draft, someone hacked Tunsil's social media accounts and published a video of him smoking a substance from a gas mask, as well as text messages in which he asked Ole Miss coaches for money to pay rent and his mother's utility bills.\n\nThat set in motion the chain of events that brought Robertson and Mars together and culminated in Freeze's hasty resignation last Thursday.\n\nOnce Mars was made aware of the phone number linked to the escort service, he alerted Ole Miss general counsel Lee Tyner via a July 13 email.\n\n\"For the benefit of everyone on your end, and particularly Coach Freeze, I'd suggest you and [assistant general counsel Rob Jolly] do a deeper dive on the last set of phone records you gave me,\" Mars wrote. \"If you examine them carefully enough, you'll find a phone call Coach Freeze made that would be highly embarrassing for all of you and extremely difficult to explain. While that call is arguably relevant to the NCAA investigation, we decided to take the high road and not make reference to it in the complaint.\"\n\nMars said Nutt didn't want him to release the phone records to the media.\n\n\"Houston had no interest in this information being used to embarrass Hugh Freeze, and he made that very clear to me,\" Mars said. \"He wasn't interested in taking a pound of flesh from Hugh Freeze. He only wanted to clear his name.\"\n\nAfter receiving Mars' email, Ole Miss officials initially searched only for the phone number in question. They told Mars they didn't find the number in any more of Freeze's phone records. But Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork decided to do a more extensive search of Freeze's phone records going back to shortly after he was hired in December 2011. A review was conducted by Freeze's attorney, a university attorney and an athletic department staff member of more than 39,000 phone calls. Bjork told ESPN last week that they found a pattern of calls that was \"troubling.\"\n\nOle Miss Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter, left, and athletic director Ross Bjork announced Hugh Freeze's resignation on Thursday. Bruce Newman/Oxford Eagle/AP\n\nRobertson, who has covered Mississippi State sports since 2001, said he and Mars stumbled upon the number when they were looking for another call -- a conversation between Freeze and a sportswriter. The call with the sportswriter happened on Jan. 20, 2016, but Mars requested records for the day before and the day after, so the university didn't know exactly what he was looking for.\n\nThe phone call to the escort service was one of 84 calls over a three-day period included in the records, after Freeze had redacted three personal calls. He failed to redact the call to the 313 area code.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 886, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a2c4948ff39006faccbfa6cd4989beb69c5c7111", "raw_chars": 954, "clean_chars": 890, "edit_ratio": 0.7234, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "If you are reading this on your computer, you are likely aware that keyboards tend to get quite dirty over time.

At the start of his legal career, Mars worked under Hillary Clinton at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock.\n\nRobertson had been butting heads with Ole Miss officials for the past several months, since they denied his open records request for an unredacted version of the notice of allegations the Rebels received from the NCAA in January 2016. Robertson wanted the names of the Ole Miss boosters who are accused of providing improper benefits to recruits, and university officials wouldn't release them.\n\nWhen Mars advised Tyner about the call Freeze made to the escort service, he told him that he'd shared the phone records with Robertson.\n\n\"Steve is obsessed,\" Mars said Tyner told him.\n\nOle Miss coach Hugh Freeze has resigned, effective immediately, the school said Thursday.

Along with Robertson's help, Mars also enlisted the services of Fred Burton, a longtime counterterrorism agent with the U.S. Department of State. Burton, whom Mars has known since the second grade, was involved in several high-profile investigations, including the capture of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

So that's going to be what it is. I hadn't voted up until a couple of years ago. Because I had a felony, I was told I was not allowed to vote. I just assumed they were right and I never did any type of research about it, so I just never voted because I thought I wasn't allowed to. My wife researched it and it was somewhat true. You can't vote while you're on probation. But after you're off, you can vote. So, I just started voting when Obama came around. So, I had never voted before and I was like, 'Who am I? Am I a Democrat or a Republican?'\n\nInterviewer: I think you're a Democrat.\n\nMewes: My wife gave me some input about what's what, and this year it's the same thing. I'll listen to what she says. I guess I should know a little bit more and should be more supportive about that stuff, but I think I'm playing with my baby too much and traveling. When I am home and I have downtime, I read comic books and play video games. Maybe I shouldn't be doing so much of that.\n\nInterviewer: So, how is it being a parent? It seems crazy that Jay has a baby!\n\nMewes: I had no idea how much time a baby takes. I knew, but I didn't know. I didn't know that when she started walking I'd be literally chasing her around the house because I'm so petrified that she's going to fall and hit her head or something.

And what do you want them to know about the movie?\n\nMewes: This Friday it'll be out on VOD, iTunes, and in some theaters. I'm very excited about it. It started out as a little passion project that my friends Christian and Paul made as a web series. We shot it and put it out there. Someone saw it and really dug it. They said, 'Hey man, we want to make this into a movie.' They gave Christian and Paul some money to make it into a movie. I think they did a great job. So here we have it. I went back and shot some more stuff for my character. They went somewhere like Belize or Brazil, somewhere awesome that I didn't get to go. But the production value turned out fantastic. I was super stoked.\n\nInterviewer: I know it was a seven-episode web series. Did they reshoot the entire thing or did they put the scenes they had already shot into the movie?\n\nMewes: They just shot it and they intertwined the web stuff into it. I feel the way they did it worked very well. They used the web footage to keep the flow of the movie, which I thought was genius. It wasn't like, 'Hey, look, this idea is genius, let's scrap the web series!' to start over. They shot the movie and pieced in the web series, and it works really well.\n\nInterviewer: I don't want to spend too much time on the Kevin Smith movies because I'm sure it gets tiresome.

Released on April 11, 2017, the study was led by Raphael Bostic, a professor at the USC Price School of Public Policy and the newly appointed head of the Atlanta Federal Reserve. Bostic directed a team of USC researchers to survey major Los Angeles employers, representing nearly 200,000 jobs across key sectors such as utilities, healthcare, education, government, engineering, and finance.\n\nThe resulting report, titled \"The Affordable Housing Crisis in Los Angeles: An Employer Perspective,\" was released in partnership with the Los Angeles Business Council. It examines how the region's high cost of housing affects employers and offers key recommendations for addressing the issue. Bostic noted that high housing costs are burdening leading employers, forcing them to develop special hiring packages or subsidize transportation and relocation costs. While a critical mass of businesses has not yet been priced out of the region, Bostic emphasized that there is ample evidence to suggest that strategies to reduce housing costs should be implemented immediately.\n\nThe survey found that nearly 60% of employers cited the region's high cost of living as impacting employee retention, with 75% specifically citing housing costs as a concern. The impact is most evident when employers attempt to recruit top talent: 64% reported that they factor the cost of living into hiring packages for high-level employees. Mary Leslie, president of the Los Angeles Business Council, expressed concern that high housing costs could erode Los Angeles's competitive edge in recruiting top talent, which would be devastating to the local economy. She stated that the survey underscores the need to think creatively to tackle the city's high cost of living.\n\nTo address the strain on Los Angeles's limited housing supply, the report recommends examining successful employer-sponsored housing projects, such as the affordable housing apartments completed by the Los Angeles Unified School District in 2016. It also advocates for investing in higher-density housing at various price points near key transit centers. Additional recommendations include reducing parking requirements for new developments, identifying single-story buildings that could be modified for housing, exploring innovative transportation solutions, and encouraging employers to collaborate with community and government groups on housing construction projects that would benefit their workers.\n\nJacqueline Waggoner, Vice President and Southern California market leader of Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., stated that the report provides compelling evidence for the need for well-designed, affordable homes connected to quality transportation, education, and jobs. She noted that the burden of high housing costs not only impacts quality of life but also threatens the economic foundation. With affordably priced homes, employers would have a greater ability to recruit senior employees and retain current staff at all levels.\n\nThe issue is not unique to Los Angeles; nearly every metropolitan area is burdened by high housing costs.

The identities of nearly all of Deco's clients remained a closely guarded secret until the previous summer, when reporters from the Globe viewed an internal list. The majority of allegations in MacDonald's application stem from the newspaper's resulting story, which highlighted several instances in which the Fords advanced policies that aligned with their clients' interests.\n\nPorter Airlines, for example, was among the firms that reportedly contracted printing services from Deco. According to the Globe, Mayor Ford was listed as the salesperson on the account, and Deco salespeople, including the Fords, receive commissions whenever one of their accounts places an order. As chief magistrate, Ford has taken a very active interest in facilitating Porter's request for jets at the Island airport and has never once declared a conflict on the matter. It is worth noting that if John Tory were to become mayor, he would very likely have a conflict on the same issue.\n\nOther alleged conflicts include voting on a motion pertaining to an industrial wastewater treatment program in which both Deco itself and one of its clients were enrolled; voting on and advocating against a new set of \"healthy vending criteria\" for vending machines in recreation centres that would have adversely affected Deco client Coca-Cola; voting on and advocating against a ban on the sale of bottled water at City facilities that adversely affected Deco clients Nestlé Canada and Coca-Cola, which produces Dasani; and voting on and advocating for the appointment of Darius Mosun, chair and CEO of Deco client Soheil Mosun, to the board of the Toronto Parking Authority.\n\nIf either or both Fords are found to have violated the Act, the judge must declare their seats vacant and may disqualify them from holding office for up to seven years. It is not immediately clear how the first, mandatory penalty might apply to a council member who has switched offices since a breach occurred, but it is likely that the second, discretionary penalty could be used to the same effect. If, however, the Fords successfully argue that a conflict arose through inadvertence or an error in judgment, or that their interest was so remote as to be unlikely to have influenced them, they will not be held liable.\n\nIn November 2012, a Superior Court judge ruled that Ford broke the Act when he voted to overturn an earlier council decision ordering him to repay money he had solicited from lobbyists for his football foundation.

There is certainly a high prior probability that something is amiss.\n\nHowever, a crucial point that should be at the core of any article like this is that, if there is a trick, we have not yet found it.

Most of the growth mindset experiments have used priming to get people in an effort-focused or an ability-focused state of mind, but recent priming experiments have famously failed to replicate and cast doubt on the entire field. And growth mindset has an obvious relationship to stereotype threat, which has also started seeming very shaky recently. So I have every reason to be both suspicious of and negatively disposed toward growth mindset.

I have not accused, for example, the researchers behind stereotype threat of making such a pact. They conducted some poor studies and exaggerated their results. That does not require any diabolic help; any social scientist can do that, and most of them do. What is interesting about growth mindset research is that it looks just like the sort of thing that should fall apart with a tiny gust of wind, but it actually hangs together pretty well.\n\nBuzzFeed does not really challenge this. The article spends most of its time snarking about how overhyped growth mindset is—which is fair, given that its advocates claim it can, for example, help defuse the Israel-Palestine conflict and bring peace to the Middle East. It also spends time discussing how many people are doubtful, which I also am.\n\nBut in terms of the evidence against growth mindset, it is kind of thin. I only see three real points. The first involves a technique called GRIM (granularity-related inconsistency of means). I like its explanation, so I will quote it verbatim:\n\n\"It works like this: Imagine you have three children, and want to find how many siblings they have, on average. Finding an average, or mean, will always involve adding up the total number of siblings and dividing by the number of children – three. So the answer will always either be a whole number, or will end in .33 (a third) or .67 (two thirds). If there was a study that looked at three children and found they had, on average, 1.25 siblings, it would be wrong – because you can’t get that answer from the mean of three whole numbers.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 916, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "78ad55df3e48b567f66b9bf7085dc57650764241", "raw_chars": 3309, "clean_chars": 3403, "edit_ratio": 0.3716, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Policies for managing government records in the electronic age are evolving slowly. The National Archives has been debating new policies and building new computer systems to preserve documents. In the past, agencies sent official documents to the Archives in paper boxes. Now, the task of saving ephemeral communications while complying with transparency requirements is the subject of heated debate.\n\nJason Baron, a former director of litigation at the Archives, commented on the use of private email systems by high-ranking officials, specifically referring to Hillary Clinton. He noted, \"It is perfectly understandable why someone who is secretary of state is using a private e-mail system. It's easier than logging in from an airplane to a Citrix connection. But for four years, it was used as the sole system, and no one seemed to notice.\"\n\nAt the time, Clinton's aides did not take actions to have her personal emails preserved on agency computer servers, as the records act requires. However, in seeking to comply with new record-keeping requirements from the Archives, she turned over thousands of pages of her personal emails to the State Department, officials said.\n\nMarie Harf, a spokeswoman, stated, \"The department is in the process of updating our records-preservation policies to bring them in line with recent 2013 guidance. These steps include regularly archiving all of Secretary Kerry's emails to ensure that we are capturing all federal records.\"\n\nEmails have been considered official government records since the late 1980s. The White House set up an archiving system for presidential electronic records in the mid-1990s, during Bill Clinton's presidency. It wasn't until 2011, amid pressure from advocates, that President Obama required a \"modernized records management\" system for federal agencies. All email records must be archived by 2016. Agencies can decide which to save for the public and for how many years.\n\nUntil then, the Archives offered only vague guidance on the use of official email. The agency issued regulations in 2009 requiring emails sent on non-government accounts to be preserved \"in the appropriate agency record-keeping system.\"\n\nLisa Jackson, the former EPA chief, drew criticism for using a secondary email account to communicate with staff and other government officials. The EPA inspector general found no evidence that email was used in a way that circumvented federal requirements. Kathleen Sebelius also used a separate email account for agency business.\n\nIf the use of personal email is not a violation, as long as communications are forwarded and stored, they are officially subject to the Freedom of Information Act. But this raises red flags for open-government advocates, who say there is no way to monitor whether a government official picks and chooses which communications to save.\n\nTom Blanton, director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University, said, \"The policy really should say no private e-mail accounts. Leaving to the government official who wrote the e-mail to decide what's public is not adequate.\"\n\nAn earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the office that investigates chemical accidents was part of the EPA.

Aslan Chelebi-Murza's descendant, Danilo Irtishch, was ennobled and granted lands in the Pinsk region—which was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for centuries and is now in modern-day Belarus—in 1509 for his services under a local prince. Danilo's progeny then adopted the name \"Dostoevsky\" based on a nearby village called Dostoïevo.\n\nDostoevsky's immediate ancestors on his mother's side were merchants, while the male line on his father's side were priests. His father, Mikhail Andreevich, was expected to join the clergy but instead ran away from home and permanently broke with the family. In 1809, the 20-year-old Mikhail Andreevich Dostoevsky enrolled in Moscow's Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy. He was subsequently assigned to a Moscow hospital, where he served as a military doctor, and in 1818, he was appointed a senior physician. In 1819, he married Maria Nechayeva. The following year, he took up a post at the Mariinsky Hospital for the poor. In 1828, when his two sons, Mikhail and Fyodor, were eight and seven years old respectively, Mikhail was promoted to collegiate assessor. This position raised his legal status to that of the nobility and enabled him to acquire a small estate in Darovoye, a town about 150 kilometers (100 miles) from Moscow, where the family usually spent their summers.

And by fixating on the 2016 presidential race, he may well be undercutting the long fight he needs to wage within the Republican Party to win hearts and minds to the cause of smaller government across the board.\n\nWhether going full libertarian would have produced different results in today's GOP is anybody's guess. Based on the years they controlled Congress and the White House, there's no reason to believe that Republicans are actually interested in a government that does less and spends less. But there's no question it would have made Paul's campaign more interesting.\n\nThat still would likely not have been enough to counteract the emergence of Donald Trump, who has reshaped not just the Republican race in his own image but that of the Democrats as well. It's still staggering to remember that his notorious comments about Mexicans \"bringing drugs... they're bringing crime... they're rapists\" weren't a hot mic moment or an aside at a Bohemian Grove sketch, but the centerpiece of his official campaign announcement.\n\nFast-forward six months and Trump is not just still kicking ass in Republican polls; he's managed to push the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, into agreement on \"closing that Internet up in some ways.\" If Trump is Politifact's liar of the year, he is already goading Clinton into telling her own whoppers.\n\n\"No evidence for Hillary Clinton's claim that ISIS is using videos of Donald Trump as recruiting tool,\" reports Politifact, which rated Clinton's charge as \"false.\" And as Trump himself can tell you, ISIS apparently is using Bill Clinton in videos.\n\nIf the rise of Trump has dumbed down political discourse (which has a way of always getting worse somehow), it remains far from clear to me what any of this has to do with the death of libertarianism as a force in American life. The rise of ISIS and especially the beheading of two American freelance journalists in 2014 has reawakened war hysteria, but even now all of the leading presidential candidates are careful to emphasize they don't want boots on the ground because there is no support for such actions.\n\nTerrorism is freaking people out, but confidence and trust in government, law enforcement, and virtually all other societal institutions are at historic lows, a confluence which bodes well for libertarian ideals of autonomy and DIY community building.

Peter Parker's presence naturally lends a slightly lighter tone to this short saga than many of Daredevil or Punisher's past outings together. In the story, Daredevil comes into possession of a flash drive filled with information on the biggest criminal organizations in the Marvel universe. It is a refreshing team-up compared to most of their stories, in which even the Punisher can't kill people, thanks to the presence of Daredevil and Spider-Man on his shoulders advocating a non-violent solution for what to do with the drive.\n\nIt is strange to have an adventure with Matt and Frank that feels fun rather than needlessly grim. It works here by turning the usual debate between Punisher and Daredevil about their approaches on its head. Instead of the usual Matt-Frank fisticuffs, the battle takes place between Matt and Rachel Cole, the ally and apprentice that Punisher had taken on in Rucka's series. Daredevil sees her as a proto-Punisher that he could redeem, unlike the lost cause of Frank.\n\n\"Welcome Back Frank: Devil by the Horns\"\n\nIssue: The Punisher #3 (2000)\n\nBy Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon, Jimmy Palmiotti, Chris Sotomayer, Richard Starkings, and Wes Abbott\n\n\"Devil by the Horns,\" a small part of Ennis' larger, stellar \"Welcome Back Frank\" arc, is one thing we know the show is definitely going to pay homage to, and there is good reason for that. It is perhaps the most iconic of all Daredevil and Punisher team-ups, and unlike many of the duo's encounters, the Punisher actually gets to come out on top.\n\nEnnis was totally nailing Frank Castle's character during his run, but this crossover with Daredevil really drove it home early on in the series. Like most of their crossovers, it involved the two characters tracking down the same criminal, mob boss Dino Gnucci. Although Daredevil begins with the upper hand, easily beating Frank up, the tables quickly turn. After being knocked unconscious, Matt is tied up in chains and given a revolver by Frank. It is the ultimate test of his morals: either shoot and kill Frank to save Gnucci, or spare Frank and watch him assassinate Gnucci. It leads to the most famous dialogue between the two, and in one masterful page, sums up how Ennis understood everything about the Punisher:\n\nPunisher: If you don't shoot you've got a death on your conscience. A death you could have prevented. If you do shoot, you're a killer.\nDaredevil: What kind of choice is that?\nPunisher: The one I make every time I pull the trigger.\n\nIf you're especially looking to know more about The Punisher before Daredevil season two, this is the story to read.\n\n\"The Devil in Cell Block D\"\n\nIssues: Daredevil #82-#87 (2006)\n\nBy Ed Brubaker, Michael Lark, Frank D'Armata, and Cory Petit\n\nMost Daredevil and Punisher stories are about posing Matt and Frank as complete opposites in their actions and morals, but this story from Brubaker and Lark's run on Daredevil puts a different spin on the pair's relationship by focusing on how Frank Castle really sees Daredevil.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 972, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "bbeb1f0ee0c3c2850ff07a18f69369afac306e2d", "raw_chars": 2777, "clean_chars": 2785, "edit_ratio": 0.009, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "But a catch of this kind is virtually impossible. In fact, scientists studying the origin of the Universe today have no acceptable theory to explain how the Earth-Moon system came into being. We refuse to engage in speculation about who exactly staged this unique experiment, which only a highly developed civilization was capable of. If you are going to launch an artificial sputnik, then it is advisable to make it hollow. At the same time, it would be naive to imagine that anyone capable of such a tremendous space project would be satisfied simply with some kind of giant empty trunk hurled into a near-Earth trajectory. It is more likely that what we have here is a very ancient spaceship, the interior of which was filled with fuel for the engines, materials and appliances for repair work, navigation, instruments, observation equipment, and all manner of machinery. In other words, everything necessary to enable this \"caravelle of the Universe\" to serve as a kind of Noah's Ark of intelligence, perhaps even as the home of a whole civilization envisaging a prolonged (thousands of millions of years) existence and long wanderings through space (thousands of millions of miles).\n\nNaturally, the hull of such a spaceship must be super-tough in order to stand up to the blows of meteorites and sharp fluctuations between extreme heat and extreme cold. Probably the shell is a double-layered affair—the basis a dense armoring of about 20 miles in thickness, and outside it some kind of more loosely packed covering (a thinner layer averaging about three miles). In certain areas, where the lunar \"seas\" and \"craters\" are, the upper layer is quite thin, in some cases, non-existent. Since the Moon's diameter is 2,162 miles, then looked at from our point of view it is a thin-walled sphere. And, understandably, not an empty one. There could be all kinds of materials and equipment on its inner surface. But the greatest proportion of the lunar mass is concentrated in the central part of the sphere, in its core, which has a diameter of 2,062 miles. Thus the distance between the kernel and the shell of this nut is in the region of 30 miles.\n\nThis space was doubtless filled with gases required for breathing, and for technological and other purposes. With such an internal structure the Moon could have an average specific gravity of 3.3 grams per cubic centimeter, which differs considerably from that of Earth (5.5 grams per cubic centimeter). The most numerous and interesting of the formations on the lunar surface are the craters. In diameter they vary considerably.

Like David Graeber, he is open to the possibility that exchange and markets of some sort would exist as one component of a post-state, post-capitalist economy. But like Graeber, he is extremely skeptical that such a post-state, post-capitalist market would bear any resemblance to our present economy, dominated by commodity production and mediation by the cash nexus.\n\nIf freed from the coercion of profit-seeking capitalists, producers would produce for social value, not for profits, as they do in their private and family lives. This is not to say that a free society would not have competition, or that its members would not seek to benefit from their own labor. Indeed, the division of labor required in a complex society makes exchange and reciprocity necessary. However, the metaphor of the market as it is currently used would no longer hold.\n\nKleiner seems to suggest, if read correctly, that most discrete acts of production and distribution, on the micro-level, would be governed by the ethos of social production for use, and exchange would take place on a higher level.\n\nThe market economy is, by definition, a surveillance economy, where contributions to production and consumption must be measured in minute detail. It is an economy of accountants and security guards. The accounting of value exchange in tiny and reductive lists of individually priced transactions must be superseded by more fluid and generalized forms of exchange.\n\nThis suggests that most production for everyday consumption would take place within primary social units with production as a part of daily living, and exchange will consist mainly, as Bakunin envisioned, of the distribution of primary resource inputs over large areas, or the exchange of surpluses between primary social units.\n\nKleiner sees networked communication technologies and peer production as the means to resist and evade the violence entailed by existing hierarchies and coercively enforced privilege. Social relations among transnational, trans-local communities operate within an extra-territorial space, one where the operations of title and privilege could give way to relations of mutual interest and negotiation.\n\nEven the accumulated wealth from centuries of exploitation cannot ultimately save the economic elite if they are unable to continue to capture current wealth. The value of the future is far greater than the value of the past. It is our new ways of working together and sharing across national boundaries that have the potential to threaten the capitalist order and bring about a new society.\n\nHe also sees such liberatory technologies as the basis of an economic vision of peer-production as a modern, high-tech version of the precapitalist model of production on the commons.\n\nModes of production employing structures similar to peer-to-peer networks have relations reminiscent of the historic pastoral commons, long gone commonly held lands used for the maintenance of livestock and regulated by ancient rights predating modern laws and governments.

This opportunity is granted by selling the future productive value of their creations in exchange for the present wealth they need to get started. In this dynamic, the stolen, dead value of the past captures the unborn value of the future.\n\nWhatever portion of our productivity we allow to be taken from us will return in the form of our own oppression. This dynamic is possible only because of a monopoly on the function of marketing future value, combined with an artificial floor under the cost of getting started. The productivity of horizontal, networked peer groups is expropriated by the holders of artificial property rights.\n\nThose who are able to control the circulation of the product of the labor of others can impose laws and social institutions according to their interests. Those who are not able to retain control of the product of their own labor are not able to resist.\n\nThomas Hodgskin fairly well demolished the “labor fund” doctrine. The financing of subsistence for workers engaged in production can just as accurately be conceived in horizontal terms, as the continual mutual advance of credit by workers to each other against their future production. The capitalist is not someone who advances pay from a labor fund derived from their own “past abstention,” but someone who relies on the preemption and monopoly of this mutual advance of credit function by a privileged class, with the help of the state.\n\nThe idea of capitalist abstention as the source of the mythical labor fund, and of profit as the reward for abstention or long time-preference on the capitalist’s part, is especially laughable given the fact that the original accumulation of capital — the concentration of enormous investment funds in the hands of a small plutocracy — was actually accomplished through robbery rather than abstention or savings. And it’s rendered even more so by the fact that banks lend money into existence out of thin air, without even the pretense that it’s backed by anyone’s savings.\n\nThe radical erosion of the latter barrier through ephemeral technology (as described by Douglas Rushkoff) is making an increasing share of venture capital superfluous.\n\nFor a capitalist class to exist, the market must be rigged…. Capitalism must increase the price of capital by withholding it from labor. In reality the “free market” is an imposition by property owners on to workers…. Capital needs to make the price of labor low enough to prevent workers, as a class, from being able to retain enough of their own earnings to acquire their own property. If workers could acquire their own property, they could also stop selling their labor to the capitalists. Capitalism, then, could not exist in a free market.\n\nThis is especially true of the networked, p2p economy.\n\nCapitalism depends on the state to impose control within the network economy, particularly to control relations through authorized channels, and thereby capture value that would otherwise be retained by its producers.

He goes to some length to draw parallels between totalitarian states and theocracies, correctly stating that \"the object of perfecting the species, which is the very root and source of the totalitarian impulse, is in essence a religious one\" (p. 232). Hitchens further quotes George Orwell, who observed that \"a totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible\" (p. 232). The impulse toward religion and the self-subjugation that comes from religious belief are the same motivating forces that allow totalitarian states to exercise the control and influence they do over their citizenry. These states have not eliminated religion so much as replaced traditional religious beliefs with new secular ones, in which the state itself becomes a deity worthy of unquestioning admiration, loyalty, and worship. Driving this point home, Hitchens paraphrases from The God That Failed, a work concerning the Russian Communist state, stating that \"Communist absolutists did not so much negate religion, in societies that they well understood were saturated with faith and superstition, as seek to replace it\" (p. 246).\n\nHitchens goes on to note that this supposed counter-argument is a double-edged sword, since it would seem to implicate religion whenever the forces of the state and the forces of faith have become intertwined to the detriment of the general population. He comments at some length on the Catholic Church’s cozy relationship with both Mussolini’s fascist Italy and Hitler’s Nazi Germany, prior to, during, and after World War II. If secularism is to be held accountable for the terrible deeds ostensibly done in its name, then religion should be held accountable when the same deeds are done with faith’s assistance. Secular forces, supposedly guided by rational and humanist principles, are as fallible as any human endeavor can and will be. The advantage for secular forces is that \"humanism has many crimes for which to apologize. But it can apologize for them, and also correct them, in its own terms and without having to shake or challenge the basis of any unalterable system of belief\" (p. 250). Religion, which has so often acted as an impediment to human progress on all fronts, is simply less well equipped to deal with these excesses of human nature. Indeed, if Hitchens has demonstrated the validity of his criticisms of religion, it seems ready-made to impose those excesses on humanity to the expense of us all.\n\nA Better World", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 995, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "3a2c53000444e3e70dd2d5a2f8f7f9913c95803d", "raw_chars": 1580, "clean_chars": 1566, "edit_ratio": 0.3776, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Before Sunday's loss to the Colts, FOX's Jay Glazer reported that if Broncos coach John Fox were to become available, other teams would be interested.

They are cheaper because they can be shared, which eliminates the need for individual purchases, dedicated parking spaces, and idle time. As Walker noted, most cars remain idle 95 percent of the time.\n\nAutomated vehicles are less likely to suffer damage or be involved in the 82 percent of accidents caused by driver error. For commercial and public transit vehicles, drivers represent the system's greatest expense, according to Walker.\n\nThe U.S. Department of Transportation highlighted some of these cost benefits when it experimented with an automated bus. \"What it did for us was some amazing things,\" said Jeffrey Spencer, a program manager with the USDOT. \"We found that the bus no longer has its tires rub against the curb. It doesn't knock the wheel alignment off. It doesn't collide with the platform, and on a 60-foot articulated bus, it positioned all passengers within one inch of the platform. So people could get on and off the bus very easily. We've not only reduced the maintenance cost, we've reduced the liability cost.\"\n\n\"And because of its precision, and it comes to the same spot every time, we were able to keep that bus on time most of the time, and reduce the amount of capital expense. We didn't have to buy another bus to meet the demand because we were able to move that bus in a more precise and proficient manner.\"\n\nInsurance for automated vehicles should cost about 10 percent of what motorists pay today, Walker said. Additionally, vehicles can be right-sized for specific tasks: people can order a pickup truck for buying gardening supplies, a single-seater for the daily commute, a shuttle for the airport, or a bus when they want to save money.\n\nBecause of their efficient use of road space, Walker said, they will free up lanes equivalent to five times the highway infrastructure we have today.\n\nHowever, Walker warned that carbon savings will only occur if the fleet is electric and shared. A different scenario, described by panelists as \"the nightmare scenario,\" emerges if autonomous vehicles cling to the current transportation model of being individually owned and gasoline-powered. In that case, some of the problems they might solve—such as parking, congestion, and pollution—could get worse.\n\nMany questions remain. How will the insurance industry react?

Bregman, an author who had written several books, became obsessed with discovering the identity of a spy known as \"Babylon\" or \"Angel.\" By piecing together a puzzle of clues, he narrowed the suspect down to Marwan, a man with extraordinary connections. Marwan was the son-in-law of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and was very close to the Egyptian leadership.\n\n\"Eli Zeira did not want to cooperate with me, because after all he had written a book of his own,\" Bregman recalled. \"There was a need for verification, and Rami Tal, a very well-known journalist, edited Zeira's book.\"\n\nBregman described his obsession: \"I flew to Tel Aviv to meet him. I knew he wouldn't say the name, but they probably told him. What was I doing? I was observing his body language to see if Ashraf was the spy. I rehearsed at home in front of the mirror.\"\n\nDuring a meeting at Tel Aviv's Beit Sokolow, nine minutes into a casual conversation, Bregman decided to burst out randomly: \"Ashraf Marwan is the spy.\" He watched Marwan's face and ears closely. \"I got my proof,\" Bregman said. In his book, Bregman did not explicitly write the name but dropped clear and obvious hints. Egyptian journalists put the pieces together and asked Marwan if he was the man. Marwan denied it, but then a journalist from Al-Ahram met with Bregman in London, where the professor defended his reputation and named the spy.\n\nA few days after Bregman's comments were published in Egypt, Marwan called him, asking to meet. \"When I spoke, he immediately felt that I was sorry for what I had done,\" Bregman said. \"Marwan was a sick person. You could hear his heavy breathing, and suddenly you feel bad about what you've done. I went from being a journalist trying to uncover him and get a massive scoop to having to use all my energy to defend myself. We journalists sometimes run after the goal blindly, and as soon as we get it, we come to our senses. I understood that it was stupid. He wasn't the 'Angel'; he was someone who had undergone three heart operations. I said, 'Whoa, someone's going to kill him.'\"\n\nThe two agreed to meet at the Intercontinental Hotel. Bregman had rejected the offer to meet at the Dorchester Hotel because he remembered that they had tried to assassinate Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov there in 1982, an attack that sparked the First Lebanon War. Bregman took side streets to the hotel, constantly checking that no one was following him.\n\n\"He was very angry at the Mossad because at the last meeting with them, he discovered that they had recorded him, and as far as he was concerned, they had broken the rules,\" Bregman said. \"At the meeting we were both crazy. I thought he was going to kill me, and he thought I was recording him. It was a very anxious conversation. He was nervous and I was nervous, but after that, for years, we would talk on the phone just as you and I are talking now.\"\n\nSome of the conversations were informational, while others were for Marwan to pour his heart out and complain, because who else could he talk to?

His inventions were notable for their humour and almost complete lack of practical applicability.\n\nVery little is known about Pedrick. He worked for many years as a patent examiner at the United Kingdom Patent Office, but it was only after his retirement that he began filing patent applications for his inventions. The Patent Office has stringent restrictions on improbable gadgets, but Pedrick's familiarity with the process enabled him to satisfy the requirements and get his applications granted.\n\nDuring this period, he was resident in Selsey, Sussex, England, according to his patents. Sometimes his residence was further listed as \"One-Man Photo-Electric Research Laboratories\" or \"One Man Think Tank Nuclear Fusion Research Laboratories,\" and so forth. These laboratories were staffed by himself and a ginger-coloured cat, sometimes referred to as \"Ginger,\" although it is not clear whether this was actually his name. Ginger was of great help to Pedrick in developing his inventions. Unfortunately, it is recounted in some of the patents how Ginger was unable to secure financing to put the inventions into practice.\n\nHis patent for laser-induced fusion includes autobiographical notes: \"It is my personal experience based on a severe bout of dive-bombing by Stuka dive bombers in a light cruiser HMS 'Dido', in 1941, evacuating mainly New Zealanders from Crete, who had been sent in by the late Sir Winston Churchill, but who, after the battle with the Nazi paratroops had made the island untenable, Admiral Cunningham, the Naval C in C in Alexandria, realised must be got out if possible, that the surface warships just cannot survive attacks by large numbers of aircraft, on their own, and it is only the chance of fate that I happened to be in After Engine Room of the ship, when a bomb came down on B turret and created a carnage of twisted steel and bodies forward, that I am writing this now, but the memory of the experience still gives me a 'nightmare' at times.\"\n\n\"I have suffered all my life even from a by-product of the 1914–18 war even if I was born after it. It is a personal fact that my father was a Lieutenant (E) serving in the disastrous K class submarines, by which the Royal Navy tried to create a Submarine which could steam on the surface at 20 knots to keep up with the Fleet, and he died of a lung infection created by the appalling conditions in such submarines, even before I was born. If a women [sic] is in bad metal [sic] state when she is in pregnant, it is obvious that she can pass on her state of mind to the foetus. This has made me a nervous individual all my life, and there are many times in my life I wish I had never been born. There are endless arguments about the subject of abortion on the 'rights of the foetus', and these could all be settled if, in some way, the future could be predicted for the foetus and it could decide whether it 'wanted to be born'.\"\n\nMany of Pedrick's inventions related to his cat, Ginger.

It defines parameters n=15, f0=2.5, and T0=1.0/f0, then calculates tau as T0 divided by the square root of 2n. The time array t is generated from 0 to 2T0 with a step of 0.001T0. A Bessel filter B of order n with cutoff frequency f0 is created using the sspade library, and its linear time-invariant (LTI) cascade representation Hb is extracted. The step response y of Hb is computed over the time array t. The results are plotted with a figure size of 8x6, comparing the theoretical Gaussian filter response (0.5 + 0.5 * erf((t-T0)/(sqrt(2)*tau))) against the Bessel filter's step response y. The y-axis limits are set between -0.05 and 1.05, and a legend identifies the Gaussian filter with its tau value and the Bessel filter with its order and frequency.\n\nThe real challenge lies in determining whether there is a straightforward procedure for finding the best nth-order IIR filter approximation to a Gaussian filter with an arbitrary time delay. Here, \"best\" is defined as minimizing the least-squared error in the time domain. This problem likely falls under a general topic that Gauss, Fourier, or Legendre explored in a paper written at the age of 23. They may have set it aside because there were no practical applications at the time, leaving it as a special case of their broader work.\n\nGiven this complexity, I will leave the matter as is. To wrap up, the Padé approximation to e^{-sT} (PAEST) is a rational function with a specified degree p in the numerator and q in the denominator. It closely matches a time delay in the frequency domain and can serve as a rational transfer function for simulating a delay of time T. Padé approximation is similar to a Taylor series approach but uses rational functions instead of polynomials, offering better approximations for functions that are not well-suited to polynomial methods.\n\nThe polynomial coefficients for this approximation are integers (at least for T=1) and can be computed using factorials or combinations via recurrence formulas. The scipy.signal.lti function can be used with these numerator and denominator polynomials to simulate a Padé time delay. However, low-order approximations do not look very good, especially when p equals q; if p is slightly less than q, the results are acceptable.\n\nPadé time delays do not need to be highly accurate if they are combined with other systems that have similar or slower dynamics. However, using scipy.signal.lti with the polynomial coefficients of PAEST breaks down just above order 20. This failure occurs because the numerical conditioning of polynomial coefficients becomes extremely problematic as the degree increases. It is not an acronym; the term is used to emphasize the severity of the issue.\n\nState-space formulations of a linear system are not unique and come in several forms. The default state-space form used by scipy.signal.lti is the controller canonical form, which directly expresses a state-space system from the problematic polynomial coefficients of the transfer function's numerator and denominator. Analyzing the poles and zeros of PAEST provides a way to bypass the issues with ill-conditioned polynomial coefficients. This analysis can be accomplished using Newton-Raphson iteration to obtain poles and zeros directly with high accuracy, based on residue sums using the second-order differential equation form for the hypergeometric function _1F_1.\n\nFinally, PAEST with p < q is unstable if p is too small due to the presence of right-half-plane poles.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1056, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d709deaa09b111b92c6f217f548560e82bd28469", "raw_chars": 3319, "clean_chars": 3337, "edit_ratio": 0.0252, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This is a rush transcript.

I’m Amy Goodman, with Juan González.\n\nJuan González: We turn now to North Dakota, where on Thursday hundreds of police with military equipment raided a resistance camp established by Native American water protectors in the path of the proposed $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. The pipeline has faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and members of hundreds of other tribes from across the Americas. On Thursday afternoon, over a hundred officers in riot gear with automatic rifles lined up across North Dakota’s Highway 1806. They were flanked by multiple MRAPs—mine-resistant ambush protected military vehicles—sound cannons, Humvees driven by National Guardsmen, an armored police truck, and a bulldozer. Water protectors say that police deployed tear gas, mace, pepper spray, and flash-bang grenades and bean bag rounds against the Native Americans, and shot rubber bullets at their horses. This is a video shot by Unicorn Riot, followed by a Facebook Live video from Sacheen Seitcham of the West Coast Women Warriors Media Cooperative.\n\nSacheen Seitcham: They’ve been pepper-spraying. They’ve maced. They’ve tasered. They’ve thrown percussion bombs and smoke grenades at us. All for water. Over 300 pigs. We are protecting the water. They’re protecting oil. That’s what’s happening.\n\nAmy Goodman: Water protectors set up a blockade of the highway using cars, tires, and fire in order to try to protect their camp, parts of which were demolished by police. Four people locked themselves to a truck parked in the middle of the highway in order to stop the police advance. Elders also led prayer ceremonies in front of the police line. Some were arrested in the middle of prayer. In total, more than 100 people were arrested. Ahead of the police raid, the Federal Aviation Administration also issued a temporary no-fly zone for the airspace above the resistance camps for all aircraft except for those used by law enforcement. Police appeared to be evicting the frontline camp in order to clear the way for the Dakota Access pipeline company to continue construction. Company cranes and bulldozers were active Thursday just behind the police line on the site of the sacred burial ground where Dakota Access security guards unleashed dogs on Native Americans on September 3rd.

But young invincibles are crucial to making the Affordable Care Act work: The White House is counting on them to buy coverage under the new law, helping to spread the risk and hold down premiums for everybody. Let’s debunk a few myths about who these uninsured young people are and what they want from the health-care system.\n\nYoung adults are not uninformed about the health-care law. They tend to be about as aware of it as the rest of the population. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll in August found that 33 percent of adults had heard nothing about their state health insurance exchanges. That figure was 43 percent among 18-to-25-year-olds and 41 percent among 26-to-35-year-olds. Separate polling from the Pew Research Center found that young adults were more aware than any other demographic that the health-care law offers subsidies for low-income Americans to purchase insurance. However, they were less aware of the requirement to buy coverage.\n\nYoung Americans are especially aware of the provisions that affect their own coverage options, most prominently the option to stay on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26. A Commonwealth Fund poll in March found that 62 percent of young adults knew of that program.\n\nContrary to popular belief, young adults do want health insurance. They do have the highest uninsured rate of any demographic, with about 27 percent of people between 19 and 34 lacking insurance coverage, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Health-care experts say this doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t want insurance, but rather that they are less likely to be offered coverage through their employers. That’s because more young people work part-time or hourly-wage jobs that do not offer health benefits. When offered coverage by their employers, about 80 percent of young adults sign up — about the same rate as older workers.\n\nMillions of young adults have also gained coverage under the health law’s provision that allows them to stay on their parents’ health insurance until they’re 26. The Department of Health and Human Services estimates that, since this option became available in 2010, more than 3 million young adults have taken advantage of their parents’ insurance plans.\n\nWhen the Kaiser Family Foundation surveyed young adults about health insurance coverage in June, it found that about three in four said it is \"very important\" to them to have health insurance.\n\nYoung adults also need health insurance. While they tend to have lower health-care costs, without coverage they can incur substantial bills. One Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found that 17 percent of women ages 18 to 29, and 13 percent of men, have a chronic condition such as cancer or diabetes. Federal data show that young adults have higher rates of car accidents, which could lead to pricey medical bills. The high cost of maternity care can be another concern for young adults, with the average charges ranging upward of $32,000, according to a study published this year by Truven Health Analytics.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1071, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "1874a7f16e9e5bc50fb27921fe96316898097c2e", "raw_chars": 2337, "clean_chars": 2353, "edit_ratio": 0.8797, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Development: Manitoba Museum Announces $160-Million Expansion Plan\n\nWhile the Canadian Human Rights Museum has received the majority of the glory, budget, and capital investment from private donors and the government, the Manitoba Museum has announced a $160 million expansion plan as Manitoba approaches its 150th birthday.\n\nThe first stage of the project involves expanding Alloway Hall to just under 10,000 square feet to accommodate larger touring museum programs, such as the recently completed \"Real Pirates!\" exhibit. The closure of the 20,000-square-foot MTS Exhibition Hall demonstrated to Winnipeg just how many shows could be hosted with the right-sized space. Although the space needed for a museum tour might be smaller, it still feels like an extra 10,000 square feet would have been preferable.\n\nFive years ago, I practically begged for a new science museum for the province's 150th birthday. I looked longingly at the parking lot north of the museum and suggested a connecting tunnel. Now, it appears the major aspect of the museum expansion will be a $100 million science gallery on that very parking lot.\n\nThe $100 million price tag is about right. The Science Museum of Minnesota was built in 1999 for $99 million. It is a gorgeous building, but it was constructed with flaws and now requires $26 million in water damage repairs. Manitoba cannot afford to make those same mistakes. The exhibits at the Minnesota Museum are outstanding, and one can imagine how successful such a gallery would be in Winnipeg.\n\nThe $5.3 million Alloway Hall expansion will only be the first part of the museum work that we actually see. So much else is still in the planning stage, and the sources of funding have not yet been announced. The province has announced $10 million for the initial $16 million phase.\n\nThe timetable and other funds beyond 2020 are yet to be determined. Hopefully, the project will not have to wait until Manitoba's 200th birthday.\n\nThe Manitoba Museum's yearly budget is just a fraction of what the Human Rights Museum receives, with ballpark figures of $4 million versus $20 million.

The lobbying contract between the firm and Hickenlooper's office acknowledges this potential overlap, stating that \"to the extent there are any potential conflicts that could arise during the period in which BHFS represents the Office, those will be addressed on a case by case basis if and when they arise.\"\n\nBrownstein Hyatt did not respond to requests for comment from the International Business Times. The clients represented by the eight Brownstein Hyatt lobbyists registered to work for Hickenlooper include major industry players such as the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and AmeriHealth Caritas Health Plan; drugmakers Novartis Corp., AbbVie Inc., and Marathon Pharmaceuticals LLC; medical products conglomerate Baxter Healthcare Corp.; health services firms Ardent Health Services and Borrego Health; health products conglomerate Johnson & Johnson Services Inc.; and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association trade group.\n\nHickenlooper's office hired Brownstein Hyatt to advocate for the governor's interests in Washington after the firm and its partners collectively donated more than $85,000 to groups supporting the Democratic governor's election campaigns, according to data from PoliticalMoneyLine.com, the Center for Responsive Politics, and the National Institute on Money in State Politics. These contributions included more than $10,000 to the Colorado Democratic Party, $45,000 to the Democratic Governor's Association, and $20,000 to a Colorado independent expenditure committee that bolstered Hickenlooper's 2014 reelection bid. Notably, Brownstein Hyatt's health industry clients Novartis, Blue Cross, and AmeriHealth were among the Democratic Governor's Association's major donors during the group's support of Hickenlooper's 2014 campaign, alongside the drug industry's lobbying group PhRMA.\n\nDuring his two gubernatorial campaigns, Hickenlooper received more than $10,000 in direct donations from Brownstein Hyatt lawyers. Three of these lawyers were appointed to his 2014 campaign's \"Business Leaders for Hickenlooper\" committee. Additionally, Brownstein Hyatt contributed at least $10,000 to Hickenlooper's inauguration and donated to an organization that fought the unsuccessful 2016 single-payer healthcare ballot initiative in Colorado. Hickenlooper opposed the measure, as did his lieutenant governor, Donna Lynne, whom he appointed to the position after she served as a top executive at the healthcare conglomerate Kaiser Permanente.\n\nLuis Toro, executive director of the nonprofit Colorado Ethics Watch, noted that while hiring private lobbying firms is common among municipalities, it is practically impossible to avoid some conflict of interest when choosing corporate firms to advocate for taxpayers. \"I think it's fair to surmise that whatever they're pushing is not going to be adverse to the other clients of the lobbyist,\" Toro said. \"The lobbyist is not going to undercut their clients by promoting a healthcare plan from somebody else.\" Toro added that careful vetting of private lobbyists before their employment by public officials is unlikely to be a feasible solution, as \"pretty much all lobbyists are going to have connections like this.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1089, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5230f6851b3e2948d75f4072ed4e3b253bd562e1", "raw_chars": 2361, "clean_chars": 2535, "edit_ratio": 0.806, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "PuppetConf, the premier operations conference, is returning this year. The 2012 event will be larger than ever and will take place at the Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, California, on September 27 and 28. Last year’s conference featured amazing presentations on Puppet and great operations practices, along with an excellent hallway track. Building on that success, this year’s event will double down on what worked while adding fresh new activities. New additions to the agenda include hands-on technical labs to showcase new technologies, the first-ever Puppet Certifications, and an entire track dedicated to community and modules.\n\nThere are several ways to participate in PuppetConf. The call for speakers is currently open, and the organizers are looking for long-form presentations lasting around 45 minutes, as well as open space or unconference ideas. The call for presentations closes on July 31, so interested parties should not delay.\n\nRegarding the topics the conference organizers are seeking, they are interested in presentations and discussions about expanding Puppet deployments, using Puppet at scale, module authoring, and Puppet Forge usage. They are also eager to hear about anything else related to Puppet. Talks on operations teams and practices that improve the field are highly valued, and these presentations do not need to focus exclusively on Puppet. The organizers welcome discussions on scaling to tens of thousands of nodes, test-driven infrastructure, next-generation monitoring, and operations across dozens of lines of business. This is an excellent opportunity to share your work with the DevOps community.\n\nFor unconference topics, there are no restrictions. The sessions will tackle hard problems, explore theories, share conjectures, and provide a great time for all attendees.\n\nIf you are looking for ideas or wondering if a topic would be well-received, it can be helpful to run your ideas by the community in the #puppet channel on Freenode IRC. You can also share your ideas on the puppet-users mailing list.\n\nIf speaking is not your preference, attending the conference is still a fantastic experience. You will be able to learn by listening to featured speakers, gaining hands-on experience in labs, and engaging in great discussions between sessions and in the evenings. Regardless of your reason for attending, the organizers encourage you to come. They look forward to chatting with you and sharing infrastructure experiences.\n\nFor more information, visit puppetconf.com.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1088, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "8c48f00608df9c20740a981199c8ae0b53519829", "raw_chars": 3488, "clean_chars": 3562, "edit_ratio": 0.1433, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The common objects or 'tool' category consisted of 36 grayscale photographs and was limited to the subordinate category of tools to remain consistent with the other stimulus categories. The stimuli measured approximately 6 cm by 6 cm and were presented on a white background. In Experiment 3, colorized line drawings of common objects were used (Rossion & Pourtois, 2004). To accommodate the simultanagnosia in both patients and the fact that parietal damage slows visual processing (Peers et al., 2005), all stimuli in all experiments were presented sequentially at the center of the monitor at a rate of 1000 ms per item.\n\nTo ensure that patients EE555 and TQ591 could accurately perceive the stimuli used in the working memory tasks, two perceptual control tasks were administered. First, in the perception of tools task, thirty-six grayscale photographs of household tools were presented on a white background using ePrime software (Psychology Software Tools). The task required participants to verbally label each tool under free viewing conditions, with the experimenter recording the responses. EE555 was able to identify 89% of the tools, while TQ591 identified 72%. Errors for both subjects occurred on low-frequency items, including clamps, a leather punch, a wood plane, an eggbeater, and a whisk.\n\nSecond, in the perception of colors and abstract shapes task, multicolored geometric shapes were printed on cards. There were eight different shapes and eight different colors, creating a set of 24 cards. The task was to match a particular card based on color, shape, or a combination of color and shape. Both subjects were accurate when asked to match colors (100%), shapes (100%), or color-shape conjunctions (100%).\n\nIn the recall experiments, Experiments 1a and 2a, the dependent measure was raw accuracy. In Experiment 1a, chance performance was 0.25, while in Experiment 2a, it was nearly zero. In the recognition experiments, Experiments 1b, 2b, and 3, the dependent measure was corrected recognition (CR). CR is calculated as the hit rate (responding \"yes\" on a match trial) minus the false alarm rate (responding \"yes\" on a non-match trial). Chance performance corresponds to a CR value of zero. Trials were excluded if no response was registered within two standard deviations of the mean reaction time (excluded trials: controls 2.9%, patients 3.3%).\n\nData were analyzed using non-parametric permutation analyses approximating independent sample t-tests (Experiments 2a and 3) and a repeated measures analysis of variance (Experiments 1ab and 2b). Permutation tests serve as an alternative to parametric tests for cases with small numbers of participants and can be accurately used for sample sizes larger than one. For the repeated-measures ANOVA tests, a permutation test was employed where the F statistic was first computed under the standard mixed two-factor ANOVA model. Then, the observed values were randomly permuted across the patient and control subjects. The F statistics were recomputed for the permuted data set, and a one-tailed count over 1000 replicates was used to compute the significance values (Legendre, Oden, Sokal, Vaudor, & Kim, 1990; Manly, 1997). For the t-test version, no t-value is calculated. In the first stage of analysis, the null hypothesis (that there is no difference between the patient and control groups) is tested using a t-test (Experiment 3). During the second stage, two groups were randomly defined and subjected to the same comparison. This process continues until 1000 random samples are taken.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1100, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f9dc5ad51e8c1bbca57a27a718b0e377614ff806", "raw_chars": 1434, "clean_chars": 1563, "edit_ratio": 0.1205, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Enjoy an exclusive stream of Wisdom In Chains' new album, The God Rhythm, available in full below in advance of the official street date of June 16th, 2015.

Although the city has medieval roots, it is an architectural riot of modernity, as nearly every building except its impregnable chateau was levelled in 1944. I was there for an academic colloquium on \"Mapping Humanity and the Post-human,\" which I had been invited to by its organizer, the erudite and vivacious Hélène Machinal. The programme was wide-ranging and mostly in French. Although I couldn't follow everything that was said, I think I got the gist of most of it, and was kindly helped by a student who volunteered to sit beside me and pass notes.\n\nI found it strange to be listening in to serious academic discussion of ideas that originated on the fringes of science fiction, and to hear \"Kurzweil,\" \"Vinge,\" and \"extropians\" pop up from a flow of French discourse like yellow plastic ducks on the Seine. About half the discussion was on the post-human in mainstream literature and philosophy, but popular culture, movies, and science fiction were just as minutely and seriously anatomised.\n\nMy own presentation touched on my earliest encounter with extropianism and, that cheap laugh out of the way, argued that Darwin had made post-humanism possible. First, by establishing that humanity is a species with predecessors and, by implication, possible successors, and therefore that the human mind was the outcome of a material process. Secondly, by shifting the notion of \"species\" from an essence to a population, with no intrinsic limit of variation. Once \"the human\" ceases to be an essence, it loses its self-evident status as a standard of value. Watson and Crick followed up in 1953 by demonstrating the material basis of heredity, and hence the possibility of consciously changing it.\n\nTwo developments that were new in the 1980s and 1990s made post-humanism a project rather than a prophecy. The first was that thanks to Moore's Law and molecular biology, it became possible for the first time for people to imagine that they might live into the post-human era. The second was that socialism, the global project whereby the International was to unite the human race, was over, and with it the counter-project of liberal humanism. Humanity is no longer an imagined community. If it's ever to become so again, something like the socialist project will have to be revived, or replaced by a different project with less hubris but no less ambition.\n\nOtherwise, the robots will rise up and eat our brains, if we haven't beaten them to it by bashing each other's heads in first.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1110, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7c4dd0ff1fa38265d30ff5fc79f50854de2d790d", "raw_chars": 2935, "clean_chars": 2931, "edit_ratio": 0.0007, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Rep.

In fact, I took an earlier train … because I wanted to nip that in the bud. I’m going to handle all of these situations, but I want have some standards. I’m not throwing anybody under the bus.

We already have a historical conscience in the person of Artie Dreschler, but we could use a historical committee focused on the history of failed policies.

On a summer afternoon, herds of elderly tourists—American, Japanese, British—wander between the gift shops and sip lagers at pavement cafés beneath the gothic town hall. In a park, teenagers chat and smoke cigarettes in the sun.\n\nValdo Pôder, a local police officer, remembers when it was quite different. In the mid-1990s, curtains rose at the city’s theatres at six o’clock so that the audience could get home before sunset. Young men hung around selling bootleg vodka, and the streetlights were always smashed. Pointing to one smart-looking bar, Mr. Pôder says he would have needed a team of at least ten officers to raid it. \"We’d have to put everyone inside on the floor,\" he says. \"Or else we might get shot at.\"\n\nCrime in Estonia has fallen precipitously. Since 1995, the country’s murder rate has dropped by 70%, and robbery and car theft have fallen almost as far. Even as the country entered a deep recession in 2009, which pushed unemployment up to 19%, the crime rate kept falling. But though the magnitude of this trend sets post-Soviet Estonia apart, its direction does not. Across the developed world, the crime wave that began in the 1950s is in broad retreat.\n\nBoth police records, which underestimate some types of crime, and surveys of victims, which should not but are not as regularly available as a source of data, show crime against the person and against property falling over the past ten years in most rich countries. In America, the fall began around 1991; in Britain, it began around 1995, though the murder rate followed only in the mid-2000s. In France, property crime rose until 2001, but it has fallen by a third since. Some crimes are all but disappearing. In 1997, some 400,000 cars were reported stolen in England and Wales; in 2012, just 86,000.\n\nCities have seen the greatest progress. The number of violent crimes has fallen by 32% since 1990 across America as a whole; in the biggest cities, it has fallen by 64%. In New York, the area around Times Square on 42nd Street, where pornographers once mingled with muggers, is now a family-oriented tourist trap. On London’s housing estates, children play in concrete corridors once used by heroin addicts to shoot up. In Tallinn, you can walk home from the theatre unmolested as late as you like.\n\nWhat is behind this spectacular and widespread improvement? Demographic trends are an obvious factor. The baby boom in the decades after the Second World War created a bubble in the 16- to 24-year-old population a couple of decades later, and most crimes are committed by men of that age. That bubble is now long deflated. In most Western countries, the population is ageing, often quite fast.\n\nBut demographics are not everything. Mark Simmons, a deputy assistant commissioner for the Metropolitan Police in London, points out that the number of 18- to 24-year-old men in the city has been increasing in recent years, and yet the decline in crime has continued. The sheer magnitude of the improvement in places such as New York and Los Angeles, where the incidence of some crimes has fallen by as much as 90%, cannot be explained just by a young-person deficit.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1128, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "82c26b93b91ac8454baf6242ae77bfd74eea4437", "raw_chars": 3343, "clean_chars": 3243, "edit_ratio": 0.1014, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Where Two Big Thirsts Collide: The Nexus of Energy and Water\n\nBy Terrence Henry\n\nWe have arrived in the dog days of summer in Texas, when air conditioners across the state stretch our power supplies thin. It is also dry: the state is in a third year of drought, with reservoir levels at 63 percent full overall, down significantly from a year ago. In short, Texas needs more water and more power, and the two are highly dependent on each other.\n\nWhere those thirsts for more power and water collide is referred to as the 'Energy-Water Nexus,' and it is a subject University of Texas at Austin professor and Deputy Director of the UT Energy Institute Michael Webber has spent a lot of time on. \"Energy uses a lot of water, and water uses a lot of energy, and this fact is surprising for a lot of people, just how much they use of both,\" Webber says.\n\nFor instance, energy needs water to grow biofuels, drill and produce oil and gas, cool power plants, and power hydroelectric dams, Webber says. And water needs energy to be heated, treated, cleaned, and moved. Getting water cleaned up and into our homes makes up over 12 percent of our nation's energy use, Webber says.\n\nWe sat down with Webber to talk about these issues in advance of a lecture in Austin on Tuesday, August 6, about \"The Global Nexus of Energy and Water.\" The talk is free and open to the public at 5:45 pm at the AT&T Conference Center.\n\nQ: So energy needs water, and water needs energy, and I would imagine that this nexus is even more pronounced here in Texas.\n\nA: These days in Texas, it seems like we're worried about the grid being on edge. We're worried about drought, and these things sort of play into each other's hands in a bad way. As we have more drought, we have less water available for our dams to make electricity, and we also have less water available for cooling our power plants. And as that water gets hot from heat waves, water is less effective as a coolant, and so the power plants perform with lower efficiency. So a water strain or water constraint becomes an energy constraint, so it's true also that if you have an energy constraint—if you have a power outage or a rolling blackout, your water infrastructure might be hindered as well. So the energy-water nexus means they rely on each other, and that means, bad news, they inherit each other's vulnerabilities. A constraint in one becomes a constraint in the other.\n\nThere are several things going on over the last few years as we've had massive droughts and massive heat waves, which is power plants that never felt vulnerable now feel vulnerable and they might not have the water they need. So they go to great effort to get the water by piping it long distances, or by cutting down trees around the reservoirs so they get more cooling of the reservoir and less evaporation they hope. Or other sort of tricks of the trade to keep the water in hand to keep the power plants operating, sometimes turning the power plants off at night or curtailing them during the day if you need to.\n\nSo that strain is already in place and has been for a couple years. And we're feeling it more than ever because a lot of these water rights allocations were made decades ago before our population boomed so much.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1131, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9abe1ac603aeb288a07cd4bdaa00a6d43a12ef97", "raw_chars": 3302, "clean_chars": 3257, "edit_ratio": 0.1596, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Customers Can Keep the Tip — Which Might Please Restaurant Workers\n\nImagine a world without tipping. By eliminating gratuities, a few restaurants believe they can make life easier for customers while providing a more stable income for servers.\n\n\"It eliminates the pressure on the guest to worry about paying our staff,\" says Brian Oliveira, chef at Girard, a French-style restaurant opening in Philadelphia soon. The establishment intends to offer its staff up to $13 an hour in salary, plus health benefits, but with no tips.\n\nSuccessful ideas in the restaurant business often get copied. Oliveira said he and his partners were inspired by no-tipping experiments happening at a handful of restaurants in California, Texas, and New York. Those restaurants report that employees are more satisfied and that service has actually improved. While moving away from tipping may never spread industrywide, it is a model that may help address complaints about poor salaries.\n\nPackhouse, a no-tip meat emporium that opened in Newport, Kentucky, in January, pays servers $10 an hour and gives them the chance to earn 20 percent of their total sales per shift if they hit certain targets, whichever is higher. Servers bring home the bigger amount most days.\n\n\"If it's dead all day, they don't walk out making nine bucks,\" says Kurt Stephens, Packhouse's general manager.\n\nNot all servers will be better off under this type of arrangement, but the lack of tipping makes for easier accounting for customers and the business itself. Menu prices might read a bit higher, but diners will know what they will end up paying at the meal's end — probably no more than they would have at an equivalent place where they would tip.\n\nFurthermore, the lack of tips simplifies compliance for restaurateurs obligated to make up the difference between servers' base pay and the standard minimum wage if they do not make enough in tips. Currently, the federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13 an hour, although that baseline is higher in a majority of states.\n\nTipping creates winners and losers. The people who bring you your steaks at high-end restaurants are probably doing quite well off tips, but many restaurant workers cannot count on bringing home big bucks, especially after slow shifts on off days. A recent study from the labor-backed Economic Policy Institute found that 17 percent of restaurant workers live in poverty.\n\n\"I'm very aware that at some establishments, people would do far better under the existing tipping model,\" says Bill Perry, who is about to open Public Option, a no-tipping pub in Washington, D.C. \"In our category, which is much more neighborhood-oriented, we're concerned that the variability of tips may not produce a good income.\"\n\nThis is an idea still very much in the making. Girard and Public Option are not even open yet. With only a few other restaurants around the country having made the move away from tipping, it is not at all clear this will be a successful alternative.\n\nBut the increasing pressure on restaurants to pay their employees more — from fast-food workers to waiters hustling for tips — is one reason outlets should consider the tip-free approach, says Dennis Lombardi, a restaurant consultant based in Columbus, Ohio.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1137, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "6eaa80c64c5129c4fe915673c58257cd44b6c592", "raw_chars": 1241, "clean_chars": 1260, "edit_ratio": 0.3235, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "All in all, they are very good.

Last Friday, a Harper tweet provided a lovely snapshot of Little Crater Lake in the state of Oregon to illustrate its commitment to the Canadian great outdoors. Earlier in the week, a campaign spot talked about shipbuilding in Halifax, Nova Scotia, against a backdrop of Johnstown, Ontario. A group of Colombian miners sat in for a party ad promoting a mineral exploration tax credit. And then there was the Tory ad which misidentified a British Columbia salmon as its Atlantic cousin—the online trolls are still chuckling over that one.\n\nWell, these things happen. So do things like a sudden drop in the polls to third place. If that's not a wakeup call, I don't know what qualifies.\n\nIt all made me think of an incident in the 2000 campaign, when Canadian Alliance Leader Stockwell Day lamented that Canadian talent and brains were heading south to the U.S., \"just like the Niagara River.\" The message was sound, the words were not; the Niagara actually flows northward.\n\nDay took a lot of ungentle ribbing for that error, but his mistakes fade in comparison to the fiasco in the Big Blue Bus these days. There's one common thread that links Day's experience in 2000 to what Harper is going through right now: a profound sense of confusion on the ground. But that's where the similarities end.\n\nI worked on the Day campaign as legislative assistant to a front-bench MP. For the Alliance, the 2000 election was an unwelcome surprise from Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who always knew how to catch his opponents off guard. The Canadian Alliance had just been through a highly divisive leadership campaign and the party was low on funds. There was little corporate support for the party and many influential backers were waiting to see whether the Alliance could really replace the Progressive Conservatives as a centre-right alternative to the Liberals. Day fought that campaign on a shoestring, with family members playing key roles in the process.\n\nThe Conservative party is having more and more difficulty recruiting volunteers at the riding level. Even campaign stalwarts who show up for every election are finding reasons to stay home this time. Who's surprised? The Conservative party is having more and more difficulty recruiting volunteers at the riding level. Even campaign stalwarts who show up for every election are finding reasons to stay home this time. Who's surprised?\n\nContrast that situation with that of the Conservative Party in the late summer of 2015. They have been in government for almost a decade, with all the electoral advantages that power brings—including the ability to self-promote in publicly-funded PR campaigns, and to set the actual election date. The Conservatives established the current political contributions policy that has moved parties away from corporate and union donations towards the small individual donors that Conservatives excel at reaching.\n\nThey have money in the bank and, by now, they should have the slickest, most professional, most nimble campaign team anywhere.

First, any limitations must be provided for by law. Second, they must be imposed on legitimate grounds. Third, they must be necessary and proportionate. As enablers of the right to freedom of expression, any restrictions on encryption or anonymity must conform to the same standards, Kaye argues in his report. And that means restrictions on encryption or anonymity are especially likely to fail the third prong because \"blanket prohibitions fail to be necessary and proportionate.\"\n\nLike the right to freedom of expression, encryption and anonymity also enable individuals to form and hold opinions. Unlike freedom of expression, the right to hold opinions is absolute—a key distinction Kaye identified as an independent but related basis for protecting privacy-enhancing tools.\n\nKaye told CPJ that technology was generating new threats to which existing legal principles must apply, adding, \"How can a person develop opinions about the world without access to receive information, especially online?\"\n\nAn attorney, Kaye is realistic about the limits of law for regulating government behavior. As he notes in his report, many states have explicit protection for journalist-source communication. Nonetheless, \"States often breach source anonymity in practice, even where it is provided for in law.\" His report emphasized the need for journalists and others to have the freedom to protect themselves, an astute argument given the borderless nature of the Internet.\n\nFor Ali Nikouei, an Iranian blogger who said he was forced to flee, the need for protection is a stark reality. \"A journalist [or] an activist who wants to, for example, organize a protest, who wants to have a connection with a news agency outside of Iran ... they have problems,\" Nikouei told CPJ at the Circumvention Tech Festival in Valencia, Spain, in March. Nikouei, who said he was arrested and held for three months in Iran in 2009, added: \"The government is listening to their conversations. The government does everything it can.\"\n\nKaye's report gives further momentum to CPJ's vital work. We are engaged with the U.N., the American government, companies, and newsrooms to help make encryption by default a reality in 2015—a shift that would protect journalists, sources, readers, and other end-users automatically. CPJ converted its site to HTTPS-only earlier this year, which helped us successfully advocate for security improvements at institutions such as the Knight Media Lab at Northwestern University and the investigative journalism nonprofit ProPublica. Additionally, CPJ will host a technology summit in San Francisco this week to press for the uniform adoption of security best practices in newsrooms.\n\nThe momentum for enhanced security is building. The Let's Encrypt project aims to provide free, automated, and open HTTPS certificates to the public within several months. On June 12, Wikipedia announced that its site would convert to HTTPS by default, a process in which the international blogging network Global Voices is also engaged, and which The New York Times is exploring. And, at the same time that it was pressuring Apple and other tech companies to build backdoors into their devices, the U.S. government announced on June 8 that it would move to HTTPS-only for all publicly accessible federal websites and Web services.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1149, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6375a65da03f810cb2f711794d7f704b49407872", "raw_chars": 3460, "clean_chars": 3382, "edit_ratio": 0.2827, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"The sad thing is that there are so many people like me in that system,\" says Davino Watson, a U.S. citizen who was falsely imprisoned by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.\n\nThe recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which denied Watson the right to sue for damages after he was held illegally for nearly three and a half years, represents a travesty of the judicial process and an attack on democratic rights.

The reality is that I have lost faith in Wargaming EU. While I have always found the Russian team to be cool and never had a personal conflict with them, I am simply tired of the game and dislike its current direction. Czechoslovak tanks are certainly cool, but I question what comes next. From my perspective, the development future and plans seem like stumbling in the dark. I do not feel that Wargaming has a clear vision; there appears to be little left to achieve gameplay-wise other than making more money. There is nothing inherently wrong with making money, but lately, I have the feeling that it sometimes collides with actual game development. Cutting out content that is expensive to produce while introducing more premium tanks is the most obvious example. Perhaps I am wrong, but that is how I see it.\n\nThat is why I turned to what I consider to have a bright future: the developers of Armored Warfare, Obsidian.\n\nThe Armored Warfare developers have a vision that does not consist entirely of selling you more and more stuff, and they actually listen to players. For example, it took me two years to convince Wargaming to add Czechoslovak tanks to the game. It took me three minutes to do the same with Obsidian.\n\nI believe that with proper development, Armored Warfare can not only go toe-to-toe with World of Tanks, but we can even beat it on their own turf. Therein lies the challenge and the goal. Can I personally help to make it better with my dedication? I would like to think that yes, I can. I have faith, something I lacked for a very long time. In Wargaming's case, that faith was replaced by cynicism, stemming from some degree of knowledge of Wargaming's inner workings a long time ago. I am sure you noticed that yourselves from the leaks as well.\n\nI will not tell you that Wargaming is the Great Satan and Armored Warfare is our only savior. That would be stupid and it would be a lie. For all its flaws and the idiocy of some of Wargaming's staff, World of Tanks is a good game, even a great game (if you embrace artillery, that is). I just think there is an opportunity here to build something even better, together with players and developers who actually listen to feedback without having to spend years to convince them of a good idea.\n\nAnd so, it suddenly all clicked together: their offer, my desire to do something I actually really like for a living, and reasons to actually have some private life back.

Under a line about Yeger having a job, it displays a picture of him making cotton candy.\n\nThe attacks appear to have upset Dov Hikind, father of candidate Yoni Hikind, who delivered a furious speech at a community meeting earlier in the week. \"It's a very serious thing in Judaism to speak evil, to be mean-spirited,\" Dov Hikind said. \"To undermine.

Every day, mass killings are imagined, rehearsed, and enacted virtually by millions of children and young adults, mostly boys and men, through violent video games. One segment of Bioshock 2, for example, invites players to kill defenseless, cowering girls, known as Little Sisters, or lure them into a trap where they are mowed down by a machine gun.\n\nAdam Lanza did not have to imagine the Sandy Hook massacre on his own. Others had already imagined it for him.\n\nWhen Wayne LaPierre, head of the National Rifle Association, pointed a finger at video games and media violence during a news conference after the shootings, it was a calculated effort to distract attention from the gun industry and its powerful lobby. As former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly wrote in their USA Today op-ed announcing the launch of their gun-control super PAC, \"We saw from the NRA leadership's defiant and unsympathetic response to the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre that winning even the most common-sense reforms will require a fight.\"\n\nBut Mr. LaPierre was also half right. Glock and Bushmaster give troubled teens and young adults like Lanza the means to kill. But antisocial video games and a wider culture of militarism give them the script.\n\nWhat LaPierre neglected to say is that the arms industry, the video game industry, and the military are deeply entwined with one another and even, one could argue, allied in values. In many ways, their work together is eroding the distinction between virtual and real killing.\n\nDuring the Iraq War, Marines relaxed after conducting search and destroy missions by playing Call of Duty 4 and Counter-Strike, fielding the same weapons and tactics. CIA agents and Air Force personnel today kill real people in distant countries using remotely piloted drones on interfaces modeled on video games, while US soldiers hone tactical combat skills on video game simulators and use Xbox joysticks to control real machines on the battlefield.\n\nMeanwhile, the video game industry works closely with the military and gun manufacturers to ensure that their virtual weaponry, from the PM-63 submachine gun to the C-130 gunship, behaves just like the real thing. Some game companies have direct contracts with the Department of Defense, manufacturing hardware and software for military applications.\n\nIt is easy to see why the US Army runs recruitment ads in gamer magazines and maintains a popular online game called America's Army.\n\nWhile the industry denies any link between violent interactive media and real-world beliefs and behaviors, studies have shown that playing violent video games is associated with higher rates of hostility, more pro-violence attitudes, and a decrease in players' ability to empathize with others, particularly those who are suffering.\n\nComputer video games are in fact the most powerful medium ever devised for altering perception and behavior. That is why psychologists use them to help patients overcome post-traumatic stress disorder, why pilots are trained on flight simulators, and why the military uses them to train soldiers.\n\nSo what does it mean that millions of boys and young men are spending their free time training to kill?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1199, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ea0bc74e93fde65fbb53e38b8a18d8a93d676df7", "raw_chars": 1809, "clean_chars": 1845, "edit_ratio": 0.6639, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A casting rumor regarding Star Trek: Discovery that circulated online last evening has gained significant traction, with major entertainment outlets Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter all reporting that Chinese-Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh has joined the upcoming television series in an undisclosed role.

He noted that as digital technologies continued to converge various industries, the strategic value of Time Warner's diverse portfolio of premier businesses became increasingly apparent.

The impending update to the policy statement, announced in October, reflects a recognition that the current advice—best known for prohibiting screen time for children under two and limiting older children and teenagers to two hours a day—is no longer realistic. Some of the existing recommendations predate widespread Internet use.\n\n\"The problem is that technology moves faster than science can study it,\" said Dr. Ari Brown, a practicing pediatrician and chair of the AAP Children, Adolescents and Media Leadership Work Group, in an email. \"Our previous recommendations were made because we had enough health and developmental concerns about the potential risk of TV use to advise parents about it.\"\n\nWith schools eagerly implementing technology wherever funding allows, and with grade-school enrichment classes teaching coding and software that lets kids compose music, strict minimization of screen time ignores the reality of modern childhood. Today's children are \"digital natives,\" and technology is deeply integrated into their lives. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that playing games like Minecraft can benefit children with autism.\n\nThe AAP's new perspective, summarized in the document \"Beyond 'Turn It Off': How to Advise Families on Media Use,\" views televisions, computers, gaming systems, smartphones, and tablets as mere tools. Time spent with these devices can be beneficial or harmful depending on how they are used.\n\nThe AAP made addressing children and media a top priority starting in 2012, a focus that culminated in the May 2015 \"Growing Up Digital\" symposium. The conference brought together experts in child development, social science, pediatrics, media, neuroscience, and education. It highlighted a growing body of evidence supporting the potential, and sometimes significant, benefits of screen time in child and adolescent development.\n\nAt the symposium, social scientists presented data showing that when teens connect online, those peer relationships can be \"significantly meaningful\" and sometimes \"more supportive than their real-life friendships,\" Brown reported. She noted that this implies \"there are some very positive online opportunities for acceptance and support as teens develop their identity and self-esteem.\"\n\nOther insights pointed to ways to strengthen the teaching potential of digital media. Neuroscientists presented research showing that two-year-olds learn novel words just as well through video chat as they do through live communication, suggesting that two-way interaction is what matters most. Technology that facilitates this back-and-forth exchange is more likely to promote learning.\n\nHowever, simply handing a two-year-old an iPad and walking away is not enough, regardless of the software's capabilities. \"All of our experts indicated the importance of co-engagement,\" Brown said.

The endorsement signals a clear intent to place climate change at the forefront of the presidential debate, a priority for the mayor, who typically bases his endorsements on specific policy issues.\n\nBloomberg had previously been critical of Obama, notably declining to invite the president to visit New York after the storm, opting instead to have him visit New Jersey. However, this endorsement clarifies that those earlier actions were not personal dissents. As a prominent business leader, Bloomberg's support is one that both Obama and Mitt Romney had actively sought.\n\nIn a subsequent update, Bloomberg elaborated on his reasoning on his political website, arguing that Hurricane Sandy exemplifies the urgency of the climate change issue. He stated, \"But we can't do it alone. We need leadership from the White House — and over the past four years, President Barack Obama has taken major steps to reduce our carbon consumption, including setting higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks. His administration also has adopted tighter controls on mercury emissions, which will help to close the dirtiest coal power plants (an effort I have supported through my philanthropy), which are estimated to kill 13,000 Americans a year.\"\n\nBloomberg acknowledged that Mitt Romney also has a history of addressing climate change. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney signed onto a regional cap-and-trade plan designed to reduce carbon emissions by 10 percent below 1990 levels. \"The benefits (of that plan) will be long-lasting and enormous — benefits to our health, our economy, our quality of life, our very landscape. These are actions we can and must take now, if we are to have 'no regrets' when we transfer our temporary stewardship of this Earth to the next generation,\" Romney wrote at the time. Bloomberg remarked, \"He couldn't have been more right. But since then, he has reversed course, abandoning the very cap-and-trade program he once supported.\"\n\nBloomberg continued, \"This issue is too important. We need determined leadership at the national level to move the nation and the world forward. I believe Mitt Romney is a good and decent man, and he would bring valuable business experience to the Oval Office. He understands that America was built on the promise of equal opportunity, not equal results. In the past he has also taken sensible positions on immigration, illegal guns, abortion rights and health care. But he has reversed course on all of them, and is even running against the health-care model he signed into law in Massachusetts.\"\n\nThis final point—that Romney has reversed course on his past positions—lies at the heart of the Obama campaign's argument against him. Meanwhile, Bloomberg has become more engaged in electoral politics in recent weeks, using his fortune to fund a super PAC run by his senior adviser and current on-leave Deputy Mayor, Howard Wolfson.\n\nAlthough Bloomberg is not a key figure in swing states, his endorsement, coupled with warm praise from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whose state was also severely battered by the storm, has dominated the news cycle.

The aging 945G only supports DDR2-667 memory and typically provides only a single memory channel in most netbooks, notebooks, and desktops. While the chipset's performance is not terrible, it is somewhat bandwidth-constrained. The combination of the Atom CPU, the 945 GMCH, and the ICH7 chips takes up considerable motherboard real estate. This is acceptable on a desktop motherboard but feels cramped in a netbook.\n\nIntel offers a more compact alternative in the form of the US15 chipset, but that does not address the graphics performance issue.\n\nThe Ion motherboard\n\nNVIDIA's Ion serves as an alternative two-chip solution. The GeForce 9400M is a single chip, paired with the Atom processor, and together they constitute Ion. It includes a modern memory controller supporting both DDR2 and DDR3 memory (up to DDR3-1066). Graphics performance surpasses Intel's offerings, and it provides full HD video decode support.\n\nThe Cost of Ion\n\nI directly asked NVIDIA what is required for an OEM to develop an Ion-based system. NVIDIA responded that the only requirement is for the OEM to purchase a GeForce 9400M chipset; there are no mandatory platforms or similar constraints. The Ion reference PC is just that—a reference—and does not need to be strictly followed.\n\nThere are a few dozen Ion reference platforms in the hands of OEMs and industry decision-makers. NVIDIA expects Ion to add between $50 and $100 to the cost of a typical Atom machine.\n\nAvailability is still slated for sometime in 2009, with some systems expected to arrive this summer.\n\nThe Test", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1226, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "704875e3757d59933e838e90ce13c906f8f79082", "raw_chars": 598, "clean_chars": 650, "edit_ratio": 0.6122, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "From 1992 to 1994, John Hartigan, Jr. lived in Briggs (as it was then known) and studied its racial dynamics for his book.

He described the find as \"good news that will draw the world's attention,\" a sentiment echoed by Culture and Tourism Minister Ertuğrul Günay.\n\nExcavations began on October 1 after drilling work was initiated for a planned warehouse construction. However, due to abundant signs suggesting the area might be a hotspot for archaeological treasures, scientific excavations were launched before the commercial project could proceed. The site is now categorized as a third-degree archaeological zone. Süslü reported that a layer dating back to the 4th century B.C. has already been uncovered.\n\nThe newly discovered city is believed to date from the late Roman or Byzantine period. It features a 550-square-meter villa complex characterized by 105-centimeter-thick walls, water channels, and 11 rooms. Precious mosaics were found in six of these rooms, decorated with animal and plant figures that are rarely seen today. The mosaics depict an Anatolian panther, an Anatolian tiger, a partridge, and a rabbit, all crafted from completely natural stones displaying various shades of red, blue, and green. Süslü noted the rich archaeological structuring in the region.\n\nAccording to Süslü, the historic structure could be described as the \"Zeugma of the West,\" referencing the ancient city in Gaziantep province known for its extensive mosaic collections. However, he expressed sorrow over the prevalence of illegal excavations. Artifacts from Zeugma were previously sold abroad at low prices, prompting major efforts to recover them. Süslü warned those involved in illegal digging that there would be repercussions for their actions. He encouraged citizens to report such activities and noted that the government compensates individuals who voluntarily inform authorities of their discoveries.\n\nFurther details regarding the name and estimated size of the newly discovered city will be revealed as excavation work continues.

Scorpion is featured therein as an unplayable boss character, appearing twice throughout the game. Despite playing a minor role, his background was officially expanded in a feature on the game's official website, where his real name and that of his clan were revealed. His yellow outfit was described as an apparent mockery of the Lin Kuei, after former Lin Kuei member Takeda developed ninjutsu before leaving the clan and forming the rival Shirai Ryu. He is enlisted by Quan Chi to find a map hidden in a Shaolin temple, a task the sorcerer also gives to Sub-Zero in order to engage the two rival ninjas in mortal combat.

In Scorpion's ending, he emerges victorious over Sub-Zero, but Quan Chi then appears to reveal the truth about the death of Scorpion's family and clan. When Quan Chi then attempts to banish Scorpion back to the underworld, Scorpion grabs onto Quan Chi just as he is teleported, sending them both into the Netherrealm. A variation of this ending was seen in Sub-Zero's conclusion, when Sub-Zero stands over a fallen Scorpion before being knocked down from behind by Quan Chi, who again reveals his scheme and claims that both ninjas were pawns for the fallen Elder God Shinnok.

Sub-Zero kills Peron in retaliation, leading to a duel that ends in a draw when Kung Lao, Siro, and Taja arrive to aid Sub-Zero.

The authors propose a type trait, generate_comparison, which defaults to true so that comparison operators are generated. Consequently, you need to specialize it to false to suppress generation. The authors also discuss the opposite approach, where the default is false, and you would have to specialize it to true or derive from a base class like with_default_comparisons.\n\nThe comparison operator is implemented with a default_tie template, which enumerates the members of a class into a std::tie function for comparison:\n\ntemplate auto default_tie(const C& c) {\n\nconstexpr size_t n = std::class_member::list_size_v;\n\nreturn default_tie_impl(c, std::make_index_sequence()); }\n\nThis implementation uses the reflection traits from N4113.\n\nUndefined Behavior\n\nThere are some issues with the current specification of universal-character-name (UCN), which this paper tries to address.

The air is filled with billowing clouds of highly toxic gas. Anyone setting foot on this faraway planet would die a speedy death. Nevertheless, the recently launched study of HR 8799 c is a breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial life.\n\nAstronomers unveiled a groundbreaking achievement in the field of metrology last week. By measuring the spectrum of light coming from HR 8799 c, they have managed to determine the chemical composition of its atmosphere. \"For the first time, we have directly obtained the spectrum of a planet outside our solar system,\" says study co-author Wolfgang Brandner of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg.\n\nNowadays, the discovery of planets outside our solar system has become practically routine. In recent years, scientists have discovered more than 400 of these so-called exoplanets. But in most cases, their existence could only be proven indirectly, for example, by virtue of the fact that they cause a slight weakening in the light emitted by a much brighter star.\n\nOnly with the help of the world's most advanced observatory, the European-run Very Large Telescope (VLT), did it become possible to directly capture the weak light coming from a planet and analyze it using spectroscopy. The massive telescope is located on a 2,600-meter (8,528-foot) peak in Chile's Atacama Desert.\n\nAfter nightfall, the robotic eyes come to life on the mountain, known as Cerro Paranal. Four giant domes, as outlandish as the stone sculptures on Easter Island, are silhouetted against the evening sky. The steel giants begin moving almost inaudibly, as the domes, each a 400-ton maze of cables and supports, ladders and steps, perform a mechanical ballet.\n\nEach of the VLT's four main mirrors has a diameter of more than eight meters. They are the most sensitive devices designed to peer at the sky ever built by human hands, so powerful that they could pinpoint the light coming from a car headlight on the moon. One of their most important objectives is the search for a second Earth and for extraterrestrial life in space.\n\n\"What we are currently experiencing is the emergence of a new conception of the world,\" says Michael Sterzik, \"comparable to the sea change that occurred when Copernicus described how the earth revolves around the sun.\" The astrophysicist climbs down the steps of the VLT and locks the door from the outside. His presence would only disturb the images. He is the head of operations at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), which operates the VLT as part of a consortium of 14 European countries.\n\nThe Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on the planet, which makes it ideal for obtaining a clear view into outer space. To avoid disturbing the measurements at the observatory, drivers are required to shut off their headlights and crawl, with only their parking lights turned on, up the serpentine access road, which is lined with nothing but reflectors. In October, planet hunter Brandner spent four nights at the observatory to align the telescopes with HR 8799 c. \"It is now possible to control many observations via the Internet,\" he says, \"but our project was so experimental that we had to be on-site all the time.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1244, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "ecb02ce2196deaa5dc60b39928f3abc75a189e32", "raw_chars": 3155, "clean_chars": 3242, "edit_ratio": 0.2368, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "His first five medical reports, which described the profoundly moving and dramatic \"awakenings\" his patients experienced on the drug, received very positive responses when published in major medical journals such as The Lancet and the Journal of the American Medical Association.\n\nLess well known, but a crucial spur to his development as a thinker and clinician, was what happened next. Dr. Sacks reported that within months his patients experienced major side effects from L-dopa. He cautioned that these individuals might be sensitive \"canaries in the coal mine,\" suggesting that L-dopa should be used with caution on more typical Parkinson's patients. He was viciously attacked. Some critics claimed he was \"off his head\" and insisted that no such side effects occurred.\n\nWhen he tried to publish a systematic study of these \"side effects\"—which he considered to be genuine \"effects\" of the drug—in the same medical journals that had published his initial findings, he was refused.\n\nDr. Sacks was struck by how his colleagues, though they considered themselves scientists, used almost religious language to describe L-dopa as a \"miracle drug.\" Consequently, he began to psychoanalyze how yearnings drive longings in both doctors and patients, and how these emotions color our views of medication, treatment, and indeed the whole world of illness.\n\nHe published his findings in 1973, not in a medical journal, but in a book intended for any interested reader: Awakenings. As years passed and other doctors observed the side effects Dr. Sacks had noted, the book became a classic among both the lay public and neurologists. It was later adapted into a well-known film. However, before that adaptation, he was fired for daring to question authority. His boss ordered him to vacate the on-call apartment at Beth Abraham, depriving him of his home, his job, and most importantly, his regular access to his patients.\n\nAwakenings became a success, but it was not until twelve years later, with the publication of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, that Dr. Sacks became a bestselling author.\n\nHat, as his friends came to call it, explains how discrete, localized brain problems lead to very specific changes in mental experience.

He reached out his hand and took hold of his wife's head, tried to lift it off, to put it on. … His wife looked as if she was used to such things.\" When Dr. P. walked in the street, he would, somewhat like the character Magoo, genially \"pat the heads of water-hydrants and parking-meters, taking these to be the heads of children.\"\n\nIf Awakenings was a feverish, tidal book, overwhelming with its stories of living death, resurrection, and living death returned, Hat was a more classical work: a collection of multiple, bite-sized clinical tales, written with great charm, about how brain problems lead to losses or excesses of mental activity.\n\nHat's preface included powerful arguments for why case histories are every bit as medically important as studies.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1244, "chunk_idx": 16, "raw_sha1": "40bb12a6754c7855b32873a08f709fb1ae86b487", "raw_chars": 550, "clean_chars": 429, "edit_ratio": 0.1992, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Norman Doidge, MD, is the author of The Brain That Changes Itself and the newly released expanded paperback edition of The Brain's Way of Healing.\n\nJean Vanier created L'Arche, a unique community for mentally disabled adults, to nurture a different kind of life focused on connection rather than commerce.

The vigil took place on the steps of Sproul Hall, where participants laid down flowers and candles in memory of Steinle, who was fatally shot in San Francisco in 2015. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who was initially charged in connection with Steinle’s death, was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges on November 30. According to BCR external vice president Naweed Tahmas, the group organized the vigil in response to Garcia Zarate’s acquittal.\n\n“We were appalled and disappointed by the decision not to charge (Garcia Zarate) with murder or, at the very least, manslaughter,” Tahmas said. “We don’t want her name or memory to be forgotten.”\n\nBCR arranged candles to spell out Steinle’s name and, according to Tahmas, organized a signed poster to send to the district attorney in the hopes that their condolences would reach the Steinle family. The group arranged the event without the family’s coordination, although Tahmas stated that BCR had attempted to reach out to them.\n\nAbout 20 people attended the vigil, which was met with both support and opposition from local activists. Raphael Kadaris, a member of Refuse Fascism, condemned BCR for politicizing Steinle’s death. He and two other members of the group held banners to demonstrate their support of immigration.\n\n“These people don’t care about Kate Steinle,” Kadaris said. “They are using the tragic death of Kate Steinle to incite hatred and bigotry against immigrants.”\n\nA crowd formed around Kadaris, whose banners accused Republicans of justifying “ethnic cleansing” and called for an end to the Donald Trump-Mike Pence administration. Kadaris also engaged in a debate with Refuse Fascism protesters about fascism. Bay Area resident Jeanne Solnordal, who said she attended the vigil because of the “unfair” verdict, engaged with Kadaris in debate and said she found his presence “disrespectful.”\n\nBCR member Chase Aplin said he believed that the jury’s decision was an “injustice.” Aplin said he also believed “political vindictiveness” against Trump motivated the jury’s decision to release Garcia Zarate.\n\n“Certain deaths should be politicized,” Aplin said. “This is a death that if the policies I support were in play, she would still be alive.”\n\nCal Berkeley Democrats president Caiden Nason briefly attended the event and expressed disapproval at the organization of the vigil, which he claimed “politicized” Steinle’s death against her family’s will.\n\nNason alleged that BCR was not hosting the event out of “the kindness of their heart,” but in order to provoke a response.\n\n“I think there are good questions about whether the verdict was right, but this is not an immigration case and shouldn’t be turned into one,” said Nason. “A protest is only going to further politicize this awful thing that happened to this family.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1273, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "fa778342e4fc8d04771c3a61d3852dd571586bbd", "raw_chars": 3285, "clean_chars": 3278, "edit_ratio": 0.0806, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Last month, we discussed a government report showing that, much to the chagrin of a few billionaires and a long line of retail investors who bought the proverbial dip, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may be destined, by design, by decades of reckless behavior, and by Treasury decree, to be insolvent most of the time. Today, we learned that when it comes to accountability for the executives who helped put the companies in a position whereby receivership became necessary in mid-2008, we can forget about it.\n\nIn what was billed as a \"high profile\" case, the SEC had sought financial and other penalties against three former Freddie Mac executives who allegedly \"misled\" investors in 2006 by understating the amount of subprime exposure the GSE had on its books while it was simultaneously still sucking up and packaging bad loans. If the SEC allegations are indeed accurate, it's probably safe to say that using the term \"understated\" to describe the executives' misrepresentations is, well, an understatement, because it appears they may have lowballed the figure by a factor of 28.\n\nAccording to the SEC, Fannie and Freddie misrepresented their exposure to mortgages for borrowers with weak credit in reports, speeches, and congressional testimony. The SEC said Freddie told investors in late 2006 that it held between $2 billion and $6 billion of subprime mortgages on its books, but its actual subprime holdings were closer to $141 billion, or 10 percent of its portfolio in 2006, and $244 billion, or 14 percent, by 2008.\n\nBut all's well that ends in a catastrophic housing market meltdown, apparently, because as the Wall Street Journal notes, everyone seems to have gotten a pretty good deal considering their actions may have contributed mightily to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The civil case, filed in 2011, had alleged that three Freddie executives, including former Chief Executive Officer Richard Syron, knowingly misled investors about the volume of risky mortgages the company purchased as the housing boom came to an end. The SEC had sought financial penalties against the executives and an order barring them from serving as officers and directors at other companies. Instead, the executives agreed for a limited time not to sign certain reports required by chief executives or finance chiefs and to pay a total of $310,000 to a fund meant to compensate defrauded investors.\n\nThe breakdown of the fees is as follows: Richard Syron, $250,000; Donald Bisenius, $50,000; Patricia Cook, $10,000. As you can see, Ms. Cook got off pretty easy, but then again, they all did because they don't actually have to pay the fines. Those amounts will be paid by insurance from Freddie Mac that covered the executives.\n\nAnd no one had to admit to anything, of course. The pact said both sides agreed to the settlement \"without conceding the strengths and weaknesses of their respective claims and defenses.\"\n\nWhich is just fine with the folks from Freddie, who understandably believe it's not in their best interest for the government to continue to investigate them for fraud and are pleased to report that, in addition to the fact that they will not have to pay anything out of pocket, they will not be limited \"in any practical way\" by the decision.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1283, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "0d7befe24fc48baedf984305883805f09acb11c9", "raw_chars": 2643, "clean_chars": 2126, "edit_ratio": 0.9195, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Blockchain Embassy has officially opened its doors in Panama City, offering a new hub for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, activists, and the general public.

San Juan County and the town of Silverton endorsed the cleanup last week.\n\n\"The governor has always said he would support the wish of local communities, and they reached a consensus on requesting Superfund designation,\" Hickenlooper spokeswoman Kathy Green said in an email to The Associated Press on Sunday. \"We are working on the final details now.\"\n\nThe EPA asked for Hickenlooper's response by Monday, and Green confirmed it would be delivered Monday morning.\n\nThe EPA inadvertently triggered the release of 3 million gallons of wastewater from the inactive Gold King Mine on August 5 during preliminary cleanup work. The spill polluted the Animas and San Juan rivers in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah with metals including arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. Water utilities briefly shut down their intake valves, and farmers stopped drawing from the affected rivers.\n\nHundreds of southwestern Colorado mines have been leaking acid wastewater into rivers for decades.

I refer to it as a meta-Pmf because it is a Pmf that contains other Pmfs as its values. We then use MakeMixture to compute the mixture, a function we encountered in Section 5.6.\n\nFigure 7.2 illustrates the resulting distribution of goals for the Bruins and the Canucks. The Bruins are less likely to score three goals or fewer in the next game and more likely to score four or more.\n\nTo determine the probability of winning, we first compute the distribution of the goal differential:\n\ngoal_dist1 = MakeGoalPmf(suite1)\ngoal_dist2 = MakeGoalPmf(suite2)\ndiff = goal_dist1 - goal_dist2\n\nThe subtraction operator invokes Pmf.__sub__, which enumerates pairs of values and computes the difference. Subtracting two distributions is similar to adding them, as discussed in Section 5.4. If the goal differential is positive, the Bruins win; if negative, the Canucks win; and if zero, it is a tie. Using the distributions from the previous section, the probability of a win (p_win) is 46%, the probability of a loss (p_loss) is 37%, and the probability of a tie (p_tie) is 17%.\n\nIn the event of a tie at the end of regulation play, the teams proceed to overtime periods until one team scores. Since the game ends immediately upon the first goal, this format is known as \"sudden death.\"\n\nTo compute the probability of winning in sudden death overtime, the relevant statistic is not goals per game, but the time until the first goal. The assumption that goal-scoring follows a Poisson process implies that the time between goals is exponentially distributed. Given a specific lambda, we can compute the time between goals as follows:\n\nlam = 3.4\ntime_dist = thinkbayes.MakeExponentialPmf(lam, high=2, n=101)\n\nHere, high represents the upper bound of the distribution. I chose 2 because the probability of going more than two games without scoring is small. The parameter n denotes the number of values in the Pmf. If we knew lambda exactly, this would suffice. However, we do not; instead, we have a posterior distribution of possible values. Therefore, similar to how we handled the distribution of goals, we create a meta-Pmf and compute a mixture of Pmfs:\n\ndef MakeGoalTimePmf(suite):\nmetapmf = thinkbayes.Pmf()\nfor lam, prob in suite.Items():\npmf = thinkbayes.MakeExponentialPmf(lam, high=2, n=2001)\nmetapmf.Set(pmf, prob)\nmix = thinkbayes.MakeMixture(metapmf)\nreturn mix\n\nFigure 7.3 displays the resulting distributions. For time values less than one period (one-third of a game), the Bruins are more likely to score. The time until the Canucks score is more likely to be longer. I set the number of values, n, fairly high to minimize the number of ties, as it is not possible for both teams to score simultaneously.\n\nWe then compute the probability that the Bruins score first:\n\ntime_dist1 = MakeGoalTimePmf(suite1)\ntime_dist2 = MakeGoalTimePmf(suite2)\np_overtime = thinkbayes.PmfProbLess(time_dist1, time_dist2)\n\nFor the Bruins, the probability of winning in overtime is 52%.

The Islamic militant group, formerly known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq and recently rebranded as the Islamic State, represents a terrifying force. They are ruthless, fanatical killers on a mission to eliminate anyone of a different religion or belief system and to impose Sharia law. The group flaunts mass executions, beheadings, and even crucifixions as badges of pride, taping and uploading the videos for the world to see.\n\nThis is the new face of evil. But who helped these extremists rise to power? Who armed, funded, and trained them, and why?\n\nTo understand this story, it is helpful to start in the middle, with the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The Libyan revolution was Barack Obama's first major foreign intervention. It was portrayed as an extension of the Arab Spring, with NATO involvement framed in humanitarian terms. While it was no secret that the CIA was actively working to help Libyan rebels topple Gaddafi, nor were the airstrikes ordered by Obama against the Libyan government, little was said about the identity or ideological leanings of these rebels. This omission is not surprising, considering that the leader of the Libyan rebels later admitted his fighters included Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists who had fought against allied troops in Iraq.\n\nThese jihadist militants from Iraq were part of what national security analysts commonly referred to as Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

An ordinary meson is composed of a quark and an antiquark, whereas an ordinary baryon is made from three quarks. Physicists have long conjectured that exotic particles containing an additional quark-antiquark pair could exist, and a handful of candidates have been seen. Such particles, called tetraquarks, or their close relatives, the pentaquarks, would be exotic states forming a new particle species paralleling the ordinary mesons and baryons.\n\nThe DZero collaboration searched for new exotic states decaying into a B_s meson and a pi meson. Both of these are well-known mesons, which travel finite distances before decaying via the weak nuclear interaction. The B_s meson is composed of a quark and an antiquark of bottom and strange types, and the pi meson has an up and down quark and antiquark.\n\nThe study, using the full data set acquired at the Tevatron collider from 2002 to 2011 totaling 10 inverse femtobarns, identified the B_s meson through its decay into intermediate J/psi and phi mesons, which subsequently decayed into a pair of oppositely charged muons and a pair of oppositely charged K mesons respectively. The plot of the mass distribution of the B_s and pi meson combination shows an excess of 133 ± 31 events over the estimated background, with a mass of 5,568 MeV. The mass peak of the new state, called X(5568), is relatively broad (22 MeV) indicating that the particle decays via the strong interaction. The probability that previously known processes could have fluctuated to give a signal as strong as that seen is only 1 in about 6 million (5.1 standard deviation significance), after taking into account the estimated uncertainties in the analysis and the possibility that such a fluctuation could have occurred anywhere within the search window.\n\nThe fact that the new X(5568) particle decays via the strong interaction into a B_s and pi mesons tells us that it contains four distinct flavors of quarks and antiquarks – bottom, strange, up and down. Several other previously observed particles are good candidates to be tetraquark or pentaquark states, but all of these have a quark and antiquark of the same flavor, and thus their character as an exotic particle is less certain.\n\nThe detailed internal structure of the new X(5568) particle, or the other tetraquark candidates, is not yet understood; they could be a relatively tightly bound combination of all four quarks and antiquarks, or they could be a structures in which two tightly bound quark-antiquark states revolve around each other.\n\nMeasuring the properties of the new X(5568) particle and other tetraquark candidates – their masses, lifetimes, spins and parities, as well as the probabilities for them to decay into various final particle combinations – will give valuable new information about how the strong force binds quarks (and antiquarks) into observable particles.\n\nDmitri Denisov and Paul Grannis are the co-spokespersons for the DZero experiment.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1355, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "baf71d194634a72af8ba2ac66caa03dbb8147efc", "raw_chars": 1604, "clean_chars": 1625, "edit_ratio": 0.03, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Thus, on Sunday, the newspaper published a piece by its columnist Nicholas Kristof urging President Obama to take military action against Sudan over what he described as genocide in Darfur.

I attended that interview as requested on 6 December 2013.\"\n\nA Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed the details, stating, \"A 48-year-old man who is a journalist was interviewed under caution on December 6, 2013, by officers from Operation Golding in connection with suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails. He was interviewed by appointment at a south London police station. He was not arrested.\"\n\nOperation Golding is a specific strand of Operation Weeting, focusing exclusively on allegations of phone interception at Mirror Group Newspapers. Morgan was appointed editor of the News of the World in 1994 and moved to the Daily Mirror two years later. He resigned from the Mirror in 2004 after it emerged that the paper had published fake photographs purporting to show British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners.\n\nSince leaving journalism, Morgan has transitioned into television, presenting a nightly news program on CNN in the United States and an interview show for ITV. During the Leveson Inquiry, he gave evidence denying that phone hacking occurred at the Mirror and denying any knowledge of the practice within the newspaper industry. However, Jeremy Paxman testified that Morgan had told him how to hack a phone during a lunch at the Mirror's offices in 2002. Additionally, in 2006, Morgan wrote about listening to a voicemail left by Paul McCartney on the phone of his then-wife, Heather Mills.\n\nSir Brian Leveson's report on the inquiry's findings concluded that there was no evidence that Morgan authorized phone hacking. Operation Weeting was launched in January 2011, and since then, 37 people have been arrested and questioned over allegations of hacking at the News of the World and other publications.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1362, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "b94733cef4d3480f9891b9721d4bd9b2167d3ffd", "raw_chars": 3405, "clean_chars": 3046, "edit_ratio": 0.3499, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The established hypotheses, based on the findings of contemporary investigators, assume that part of the island subsided before the first explosions on the morning of August 27. This forced the volcano's vents to be below sea level, causing massive flooding which created a series of phreatic explosions through the interaction of groundwater and magma. Additionally, seawater cooled the magma enough for it to crust over, producing a \"pressure cooker\" effect that was relieved only when explosive pressures were reached.\n\nHowever, there is geological evidence which does not support the assumption that only subsidence before the explosion was the cause. For instance, the pumice and ignimbrite deposits are not of a kind consistent with a magma-seawater interaction. These findings have led to other hypotheses. One suggests that a massive underwater land slump or partial subsidence suddenly exposed the highly pressurized magma chamber, opening a pathway for seawater to enter the magma chamber and setting the stage for a magma-seawater interaction. Another theory proposes that the final explosions may have been caused by magma mixing: a sudden infusion of hot basaltic magma into the cooler and lighter magma in the chamber below the volcano. This would have resulted in a rapid and unsustainable increase in pressure, leading to a cataclysmic explosion. Evidence for this theory is the existence of pumice consisting of light and dark material, the dark material being of much hotter origin. However, such material reportedly is less than five per cent of the content of the Krakatoa ignimbrite, and some investigators have rejected this as a prime cause of the 27 August explosions.\n\nA numerical model for a Krakatoa hydrovolcanic explosion and the resulting tsunami was described by Mader and Gittings in 2006. A high wall of water is formed that is initially higher than 100 meters, driven by the shocked water, basalt, and air.\n\nAlthough the violent phase of the 1883 eruption was over by late afternoon of August 27, after light returned by August 29, reports continued for months that Krakatoa was still in eruption. One of the earliest duties of Verbeek's committee was to determine if this was true and also verify reports of other volcanoes erupting on Java and Sumatra. In general, these were found to be false, and Verbeek discounted any claims of Krakatoa still erupting after mid-October as due to steaming of hot material, landslides due to heavy monsoon rains that season, and \"hallucinations due to electrical activity\" seen from a distance.\n\nNo signs of further activity were seen until 1913, when an eruption was reported. Investigation could find no evidence the volcano was awakening, and it was determined that what had been mistaken for renewed activity had actually been a major landslide, possibly the one which formed the second arc to Rakata's cliff.\n\nExaminations after 1930 of bathymetric charts made in 1919 show evidence of a bulge indicative of magma near the surface at the site that became Anak Krakatau.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1367, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a1bf37b4874a334f1a649f3c491219852781f8b9", "raw_chars": 3342, "clean_chars": 3277, "edit_ratio": 0.567, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Ottawa, November 9, 2015 – The Ontario Civil Liberties Association (OCLA) has denounced the criminal prosecution of Mr. Arthur Topham, which is currently taking place in Quesnel, British Columbia.\n\nMr. Topham is standing trial under the \"hate speech\" provisions of Canada's Criminal Code, specifically section 319(2). The Crown is expected to deliver its closing statements today.\n\nThe OCLA argues that these provisions criminalize belief, opinion, and the expression of one's beliefs and opinions, rendering them incompatible with the universal principle of free debate in a democracy. The association maintains that no person should ever be subjected to criminal prosecution unless the state can demonstrate, beyond a reasonable doubt, both actual harm to a person and the intent to produce that harm.\n\nAccording to the OCLA, the alleged \"crime\" is essentially abstract, concerning the production of an emotional response \"at large.\" The Crown is not required to demonstrate any actual effect or imminent danger, nor will it rely on showing actual harm or intent to harm.\n\nFurthermore, Canada's \"hate crime\" provisions require specific consent from a province's Attorney General for a prosecution to proceed. This requirement makes the state's decision regarding whether to prosecute alleged \"hate crimes\" particularly susceptible to political influences. In the current political climate in Canada, the OCLA warns that cases where expression might negatively impact public opinion about Canada's diplomatic and military support for U.S. and Israeli policies and actions in the Middle East are at risk. Similarly, cases where state suppression of targeted expression supports the geopolitical goals of the U.S. and Israel in the Middle East are among those most vulnerable to being attacked using disproportionate means wielded by the state.\n\nIn September 2014, the OCLA launched a petition to the Attorney General of British Columbia, asking her to retract her consent for the criminal proceedings against Mr. Topham. The petition, which gathered over 1,400 signatures, was made available online.\n\nThe OCLA asserts that all expression stems from individual experience and perception, making it valuable to society by revealing points of view for evaluation. Any individual's expression of any view is considered necessary content in the struggle for greater democracy and understanding. The OCLA defends Mr. Topham's expression of his views, as well as any other person's expression of any view, emphasizing that the health of democracy depends on freedom of speech.\n\nThe association concludes that the \"hate speech\" provisions of the Canadian Criminal Code are irreconcilable with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and should be repealed, describing them as an offense against decency and human rights.\n\nAbout the Ontario Civil Liberties Association\n\nThe OCLA vigorously advocates for authentic and unqualified freedom of expression for individuals on all topics and in every form, in accordance with the right to free expression enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

First introduced in 1975, it is considered one of the original \"wonder nines,\" a group of pistols known for featuring a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and a hammer-forged barrel. The CZ 75 is widely distributed globally and remains the most common handgun in the Czech Republic.\n\nThe armament industry was a vital component of the interwar Czechoslovak economy, contributing significantly to the country's exports. For instance, the Bren light machine gun was a modified version of the Czechoslovak ZB vz. 26. However, after the communist coup d'état in 1948, all heavy industry was nationalized and, at least officially, cut off from Western export markets behind the Iron Curtain. While most other Warsaw Pact countries became dependent on Soviet armaments imports, Czechoslovak weaponry largely remained domestic. For example, the Czechoslovak army used the Vz. 58 assault rifle, whereas other communist bloc countries utilized variants of the AK-47.\n\nFollowing World War II, brothers Josef and František Koucký became the most important engineers at ČZUB. They participated in designing all of the company's post-war weapons. The Kouckýs signed their designs together using only their surname, making it difficult to determine which brother developed specific ideas. By 1969, František Koucký had recently retired, but the company offered him a position to design a new 9×19mm Parabellum pistol. Unlike his previous work, he was given complete freedom to design the entire firearm from scratch. The resulting design was innovative in many ways.\n\nAlthough the model was developed primarily for export purposes—the standard pistol cartridge of the Czechoslovak armed forces was the Soviet 7.62×25mm Tokarev, later replaced by the Warsaw Pact standard 9mm Makarov—Koucký's domestic patents regarding the design were classified as \"secret patents.\" This classification effectively prevented anyone from learning about their existence, but it also stopped others from registering the same design in Czechoslovakia. At the same time, Koucký and the company were prohibited from filing for patent protection abroad. Consequently, a large number of other manufacturers began offering pistols based on the CZ 75 design.\n\nThe pistol was not sold in Czechoslovakia until 1985, when it gained popularity among sport shooters. Sport shooting is the third most widespread sport in the Czech Republic, after football and ice hockey. It was not adopted by the Czech armed forces until after the Velvet Revolution in 1989.\n\nThe increasing popularity of IPSC competitions in the Czech Republic led to the formation of a CZUB factory team in 1992. Initially, sport shooters used CZ 75s and CZ 85s. In 1992, Stanislav Křižík designed a new version called the CZ 75 Champion. This version featured a single-action trigger, a muzzle brake, and adjustable weights. Initially, 150 firearms were produced in 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and 9×21mm calibers. The design was further modified, such as eliminating the adjustable weights and developing a new compensator, but its main shortcoming remained: it had the same magazine capacity as the standard CZ 75 (15 or 16 rounds in 9mm, and 12 in .40 S&W).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1373, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "a15c5bb0484c2b1add2743c3d0470be8737ae060", "raw_chars": 3143, "clean_chars": 3174, "edit_ratio": 0.6296, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To truly exercise control over one's life, it is essential to understand what is happening within oneself. This process involves practicing the ability to view everything related to anxiety completely objectively. It requires seeing anxiety as a reaction—a substance or entity triggered by thoughts and memories—and recognizing that it simply needs to be managed by the individual. Furthermore, one must understand that anxiety is not an inevitable part of the self that one must merely learn to live with and constantly react to.\n\nTo illustrate this, here is a practical example from my life where I was able to recognize anxiety quickly and dissipate the reaction. Last week, I was about to start cooking, which I had previously mentioned in a blog post as one of the triggers for my anxiety. I had just finished a very busy day, and when I got home, I could feel that I was high-strung. I experienced a sense of stress and a buzzing sensation in my body. Instead of calming myself down, I immediately moved on to the next task, which was preparing dinner. Within this internal energetic experience of stress, feeling rushed, and buzzing, there is a pressure to do everything quickly and hurriedly. Everything feels rushed, and there seems to be no time for rest. This set of circumstances set me up for falling into the anxiety reaction I described in my first example, where my anxiety connects to a sense of being overwhelmed.\n\nI was alone at home at that moment, so I was able to speak to myself out loud. First, I used breathing techniques, and then I used the voice tonality described in an interview—calm, stable, and directive—to offset the intense, chaotic, and sporadic energy of anxiety. I spoke my self-forgiveness. In the same calm, directed, and stable voice, I talked to myself about what I was doing, how I was making things more difficult for myself, and that it was not necessary. I reminded myself how I could proceed calmly and in an organized way. I was able to slow down and create steps for myself, eventually putting together a meal while remaining as present and aware as possible. When my partner came home, I recognized that my mood was light. I was able to have fun, communicate easily, and enjoy the moment, which in turn allowed him to be light and open, even after a long day at work.\n\nIf I had accepted and allowed the anxiety reaction, I would have instead experienced what I had become so used to: feelings of varying degrees of irritation, impatience, or a lack of desire to communicate. When another person is subjected to this, the mood feels heavy and tense. If a partner comes home after a long day at work and is met with someone who is overwhelmed, stressed, irritable, impatient, and non-communicative due to anxiety, it negatively affects the relationship. This can contribute to creating a toxic home environment, especially when repeated daily over many years. This is one of the consequences of accepting and allowing oneself to live with generalized anxiety; it does not just affect the self. Therefore, the responsibility to face and manage one's anxiety disorder is a self-responsibility that extends beyond the individual.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1374, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4f3fbaba6c32066aa28b86ce25a5bfda771f4bc3", "raw_chars": 3432, "clean_chars": 3533, "edit_ratio": 0.1156, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A man accused of murdering his girlfriend in her bedroom is now claiming that she accidentally choked to death while performing oral sex.

Since then, he has testified in hundreds of cases, usually for the defense in criminal matters. He declined to comment on Friday.\n\nIf the disrobing were to take place, Padowitz requested that it happen outside of public view, with only Broward Circuit Judge Michael Ian Rothschild, lawyers, a bailiff, the jury, and the defendant present, according to the motion filed on May 1.\n\nThe victim's son criticized the defense strategy.\n\n\"It's a desperate man trying a desperate tactic,\" said Marquinez's son, Omar Andrade, 41, who lives in New York. \"He's just trying to get off the hook.\"\n\nAndrade described his mother as kind, friendly, and independent. He said he met Patterson only once or twice, shortly after Marquinez began dating him in the summer of 2015. \"I didn't think anything of him in particular,\" he said. His mother's death and Patterson's murder charge were a shock, he added. She never gave Andrade any indication that there was something dangerously amiss.\n\nMarquinez's neighbors in Margate's Royal Palm Garden community, Eddie and Christianne Pathik, said Marquinez was unhappy in her relationship with Patterson. \"Two days before she died, they were arguing, shouting at each other,\" Eddie Pathik said, translating for his Portuguese-speaking wife. \"She was trying to break off the relationship.\"\n\nNo hearing date has been set for the motion, and the Broward State Attorney's Office has declined to comment about the case. Patterson is charged with second-degree murder, with jury selection scheduled to begin on May 15.\n\nBrooklyn defense lawyer Joyce David, who has used another variation of the rough sex defense, said the challenge lies in handling the probable backlash, both in public opinion and, more importantly, from the jury. \"The backlash is something you need to get in front of during the jury selection process,\" she said.\n\nDavid's client in a 2009 case was accused of raping a woman and killing her. The defense argued that the woman died during rough sex play with someone else, meaning the client had nothing to do with it.

In 2009–10, he moved to the major junior level with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL). After his first WHL season, he was selected fourth overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Internationally, he has competed for the Canadian national junior team at the 2011 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where he earned a silver medal and was named to the Tournament All-Star Team. In 2015, he participated in the NHL Skills Competition and was named the NHL All-Star Game MVP.\n\nJohansen was originally drafted into the Western Hockey League (WHL) 150th overall by the Portland Winterhawks in the 2007 Bantam Draft. Having been offered an athletic scholarship to play with Northeastern University, he opted to play for the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) in 2008–09 to protect his eligibility for the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). He appeared in 42 games for the Vees as a 16-year-old, scoring five goals and 12 assists.\n\nConvinced of his ability, the Winterhawks persuaded Johansen to forego university and join their club for the 2009–10 WHL season. In Portland, he joined a line with fellow 2010 NHL Entry Draft prospects Nino Niederreiter and Brad Ross. He finished the year with 25 goals and 69 points in 71 games, second among league rookies behind Kevin Connauton and second in team scoring behind Chris Francis. He helped the Winterhawks make the playoffs one year after finishing last in the WHL, and they advanced to the second round. Johansen added 18 points in 13 games, ranking ninth in league scoring and first among rookies, despite playing in only two of four playoff rounds.\n\nJohansen rapidly climbed prospect charts for the 2010 NHL Draft, starting the year as a potential second-round selection before rising to 16th among North American skaters when the NHL Central Scouting Bureau released its mid-season ranking. Johansen's coach with Penticton noted that, as one of the younger players of his draft class, his skill was often overlooked. NHL scouts praised his speed, playmaking ability, and vision on the ice but believed he needed to show more consistency and physicality.

Dr. Zimring has reviewed thousands of encounters between police officers and suspects, including 275 specific cases involving knives or sharp weapons. The author of \"When Police Kill,\" Dr. Zimring believes that police training could save lives and make policing safer by doing away with the 21-foot rule.\n\n“The threat that the police officer faces when a suspect has an edged weapon is not a threat to the police officer's life,” Zimring said. His research into this phenomenon resulted in a book he published in 2017, \"When Police Kill.\" Zimring found similar results for police officers working in Europe. “The number of cases we found... of somebody with a visible weapon charging at a police officer actually killing the police officer in the United States was zero,” he said.\n\nFBI data backs him up. According to the FBI’s LEOKA (Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted) program, two police officers died from knife attacks out of hundreds of assaults over ten years. Those deaths resulted from attacks in close quarters. The suspects who killed the officers were not 10, 20, or 30 feet away.\n\nOther data, after close examination, shows similar statistics. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reports that in those same ten years, 12 officers died from knife attacks. But after eliminating attacks that took place in U.S. prisons or jails, which are very different scenarios than policing on the streets, the data looks very close to the FBI’s LEOKA statistics: two deaths of officers. Lieutenant Joseph Szczerba was stabbed while apprehending a suspect in New Castle, Delaware. Officer Steven Green was fatally stabbed in Mobile, Alabama, when a suspect escaped from his handcuffs and stabbed him with a knife. Those cases underscore the dangers of apprehending suspects, but neither of them involves a suspect charging at an officer with a knife.\n\nIn data covering more than a decade, there is not a single case of a knife-wielding attacker rushing and killing an officer from a distance in the United States. Based on those numbers, Dr. Zimring is convinced that any mention of the 21-foot rule should disappear from police departments across the country. “If I were a police chief I would erase it from the weapons training manual today,” he said.\n\nWhile that is happening in many police departments, it’s not happening everywhere. NBC Bay Area surveyed 50 different police agencies in the Bay Area. Three agencies told us they continue to teach the 21-foot rule in their training. Nine others teach it as a concept only. A majority no longer teach it. Several law enforcement agencies told NBC Bay Area unprompted that the 21-foot rule was outdated, unreliable, and not based on science.\n\n“We do teach it as a concept,” says Sergeant Steven Pomatto, training director at San Francisco’s police academy.

I take pride in seeing the astonishment on someone's face when I utter the words, I go to Lehigh University.\n\nSo why does the saying All Lives Matter irritate me? Well, the entire movement was created in response to Black Lives Matter. Let's be real, there would be no All Lives Matter if there was no Black Lives Matter. It's based on misconceptions of the true meaning of Black Lives Matter and simply some of society being uncomfortable with black people speaking out.\n\nUncomfortable.\n\nBlack Lives Matter is not a movement stating that blacks are superior to everyone else or blacks are the only ones experiencing struggle in this country. It's a movement that is meant to shed light on the area of violence and systemic racism toward black people. According to a Rasmussen Reports poll, 82 percent of black voters think most black Americans receive unfair treatment from the police and just 19 percent of black voters think the justice system is fair to blacks and Hispanics.

There's a major issue to address in this country, and if you're unaware, then your ignorance is disturbing.\n\nThis country still tends to struggle with change. All Lives Matter fits the comfort zone of some people because it ignores race. You can't progress as a society if people refuse to step out of their comfort zones. Of course all lives matter.

We're telling them it's a pill to take or a punishment for bad numbers on the scale. Sustaining physical activity is a motivational and emotional issue, not a medical one.\"\n\nOther studies have shown that what gets people off their duffs and keeps them moving depends on age, gender, life circumstances, and even ethnicity. For those of college age, for example, physical attractiveness typically heads the list of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides.\n\nThe elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships, sense of community, and camaraderie that may otherwise be missing from their lives, easily seen among the gray-haired women who faithfully attend water exercise classes at my local YMCA.\n\nIn a recent study of 1,690 overweight or obese middle-aged men and women, Dr. Segar found that enhancing daily well-being was the most influential factor for the women in the study. Men indicated they were motivated by more distant health benefits, although Dr. Segar suspects this may be because men feel less comfortable discussing their mental health needs.\n\n\"What sustains us, we sustain,\" Dr. Segar said. \"We need to promote what marketers call 'customer loyalty.' We need to help people stay engaged with movement by teaching them how it can help sustain them in their lives.\"\n\nValue Beyond Weight Loss\n\nMany, if not most, people start exercising because they want to lose weight. But very often they abandon exercise when the expected pounds fail to fall off. Study after study has found that, without major changes in eating habits, increasing physical activity is only somewhat effective for losing weight, though it helps people maintain weight loss and shedding even a few pounds, especially around one's middle, can improve health.\n\nFor example, researchers in Brisbane, Australia, and in Leeds, England, studied 58 sedentary overweight or obese men and women who participated in a closely monitored 12-week aerobic exercise program. Weight loss was minimal, but nonetheless the participants' waistlines shrunk, their blood pressure and resting heart rate dropped, and their aerobic capacity and mood improved.\n\n\"Exercise should be encouraged and the emphasis on weight loss reduced,\" the researchers concluded. \"Disappointment and low self-esteem associated with poor weight loss could lead to low exercise adherence and a general perception that exercise is futile and not beneficial.\"\n\nI walk three miles daily, or bike ten miles and swim three-quarters of a mile. If you ask me why, weight control may be my first answer, followed by a desire to live long and well. But that's not what gets me out of bed before dawn to join friends on a morning walk and then bike to the Y for my swim.\n\nIt's how these activities make me feel: more energized, less stressed, more productive, more engaged, and, yes, happier, better able to smell the roses and cope with the inevitable frustrations of daily life.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1419, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b2de04baa07845c8ca29b43a2c4c06c8d13a2318", "raw_chars": 1593, "clean_chars": 1593, "edit_ratio": 0.4062, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Comedy legend and marijuana advocate Tommy Chong is speaking out against Bernie Sanders after being disinvited from a campaign event.

The team is still waiting for John Singleton (and his $10 million in guaranteed money) to seize the position, but a sub-.200 spring batting average doesn't bode well for him. A.J. Reed is a hot-shot prospect, Tyler White has been crushing the ball all spring, and Marwin Gonzalez and Preston Tucker continue to hang around. There's enough firepower in other parts of the lineup to cover up for the first-base deficiency, but right now, if the Astros' lineup were a set of teeth, first base is a giant cavity.\n\nBullish on the pen\n\nYou can credit Luhnow for many things, not the least of which is his \"no-fear\" approach to flipping blue-chip, minor league prospects for proven (or relatively proven) big leaguers. We saw him do it at the trade deadline in 2015 for Scott Kazmir and Carlos Gomez, and in the offseason, Luhnow did it again, shoring up the closer's role by acquiring reliever Ken Giles from Philadelphia for, among others, frontline pitching prospects Mark Appel and Vincent Velasquez. Giles had impressive numbers in 2015 in his stint as the closer for the Phillies, notching 15 saves with a 1.80 ERA and 87 strikeouts in 70 innings pitched. Last season's Astros closer, Luke Gregerson, likely moves into a setup role, with Pat Neshek, Will Harris and Tony Sipp as the other situational and middle relief arms.

The officialisation of women's participation gives women an organisational back-up to ensure that their voice will not be compromised, and it has actually challenged and transformed Kurdish society in many ways.\n\nInfluenced by this stance on women's liberation, the dominant parties in West Kurdistan, Rojava, have adopted the PKK ideology and also enforce co-presidency as well as a 50-50 split in their political bodies. By enshrining women's liberation in all legal, organisational and ideological mechanisms of their governance structures from the very start, including the defence forces, they make sure that women's rights will not be compromised.

Instead, the plaintiff alleged that the IP address assigned to each defendant \"was observed infringing Plaintiff’s motion picture.\" The complaint further suggested that each named defendant either downloaded the BitTorrent client application to share the copyrighted material, or permitted, facilitated, or promoted the use of their internet connections by others to do so.\n\nUnder the plaintiff's allegations, a particular defendant might have directly and intentionally stolen the copyrighted material, or they might simply have \"facilitated\" unauthorized copying by purchasing an internet connection that an unidentified third party used to download the film \"Elf-Man.\" The plaintiff provided no factual allegations to make one scenario more likely than the other; both remain merely possible given the alternative allegations in the complaint.\n\nThe critical defect in this case is not the alternative pleading of claims for direct, contributory, and indirect infringement.

In this case, Judge Robert Lansik noted that the producers of the movie \"Elf-Man\" failed to state a claim for relief because the only evidence they had was an IP address, which was not enough to implicate any particular person in copyright infringement.

In Paris, the Bourbon-Orléans monarchy, which had seized \"his\" southern provinces, fell. Warned that the revolution might spread to the Netherlands next, William decided to institute a more liberal regime, believing it was better to grant reforms voluntarily rather than have them imposed later on less favourable terms. As he later put it, \"I changed from conservative to liberal in one night.\" He chose a committee headed by the prominent liberal Johan Rudolf Thorbecke to draft a new constitution.\n\nThe new document provided that the Eerste Kamer (Senate), previously appointed by the King, would be elected indirectly by the Provincial States. The Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives), previously elected by the Provincial States, would be elected directly via census suffrage in electoral districts, with the franchise limited to those who paid a certain amount in taxes. Ministers were now fully responsible to the Tweede Kamer. For all intents and purposes, real power passed to the Tweede Kamer, and the king became a servant of the government rather than its master. That constitution of 1848, amended numerous times (most notably by the replacement of census suffrage with universal manhood suffrage and single-member districts with nationwide party-list proportional representation, both in 1917), is still in effect today.\n\nHe swore in his first and only cabinet under the terms of the new constitution a few months before his sudden death in Tilburg, North Brabant, in 1849.\n\nIn fiction, William is a recurring character in the historical novels of Georgette Heyer, most notably in An Infamous Army.

As part of the agreement, he remained with his former club, the Seattle Sounders, for the remainder of the MLS season.

Nevertheless, Pochettino remains a strong advocate for Yedlin's potential. The Argentine manager pushed to bring the player from Seattle in the winter rather than waiting until the following summer, but he wants to give Yedlin more time to adapt to life at White Hart Lane before integrating him into the first-team squad.\n\n\"We knew he was a player with great potential, who has already done interesting things in the MLS and even participated in the last World Cup,\" Pochettino explained. \"So we decided to advance his arrival time and start working with him. DeAndre is newly arrived in London, and like all young players, he requires a process of adaptation to learn a new way and understand a new culture. We have to proceed carefully and quietly, giving him precious time to settle both on and off the pitch, and perhaps from there, he will be able to show his qualities.\"\n\nYedlin has risen from the US college level to the Premier League in just two seasons, suggesting a bright future given his rapid progress.

If you're planning on trying a really long field goal or launching a Hail Mary, let the clock run down to a few seconds left. But calling a timeout with :15 left then getting a delay of game penalty?

That was not the case.” The mayor had actually vetoed the sale of a portion of land to Hapeville, according to the council.\n\nChambers stated that President Mitchell had nothing to do with the mistake, though he did not specify how the new staffer would be disciplined.

He has been there, too. He was born a sharecropper in northern Mississippi, and his job as a child was to carry buckets of water to the middle of the field for break time. One day, when looking out over the cotton crop, he pointed out to another worker how picturesque it all was. The rolling fields, the black dirt punctuated with green crop and tufts of white. Those will all become beautiful shirts one day, he said. His friend, however, pointed to a nearby field full of weeds they had to clear. What would be beautiful, he said, is if someone could discover a way to make shirts from those weeds instead, so they wouldn't have to work.\n\n\"I never looked at anything the same after that,\" Hale said. \"That has changed how I see the world.\"\n\nJust a few years ago, downtown Corsicana was like that field of weeds. \"You could fire a cannon down the street and not hit anybody,\" Hale said.

He is on pace for 92 tackles and has recorded two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Beyond his individual stats, Quin has kept the Lions' secondary locked in and ready to execute their assignments all season long. The clarity within that defensive backfield is so high that a player appearing unsure of his responsibilities would look incredibly out of place. That was certainly not the case in 2016.\n\nQuandre Diggs, in particular, seemed to be out of position far too often last year. This season, nothing could be further from the truth; his performance has been exemplary. Nevin Lawson has hardly registered on the stat sheet, which is perfect for a second cornerback. Lawson is not a ball hawk, but opposing teams have not been picking on him.\n\nThe defense's ability to progress through second and third reads has been a large part of the Lions' incredible interception pace early in the season. Miles Killebrew has made Tavon Wilson's future with the team questionable, though that has nothing to do with Wilson's own play. Wilson has created multiple turnovers as well.\n\nIs Teryl Austin a Great Defensive Coordinator?\n\nThe Lions' defenses in recent seasons have not fared well relative to the rest of the league. It was natural for many to question how much of that was due to coaching. The answer is none. Not a single bit. The Lions' defense over the last two seasons was gutted by injuries. It had started from a fairly average baseline and went downhill before Week One. The Lions' stars were missing or unreliable in the front seven. Consequently, Austin employed an incredible number of different blitz concepts in an attempt to confuse offenses.\n\nAs the quality of competition rose on the other side of the ball, the severe deficiencies of the roster that composed the Lions' defense were exposed. Good coaches and quarterbacks are going to eat Devin Taylor alive in coverage, but Taylor, to his credit, is no worse an option than Thurston Armbrister. A well-polished rock is still just a rock. When you have a list of catastrophically bad options in front of you, the one you choose doesn't really matter.\n\nThis off-season, Bob Quinn gave Austin a massive talent infusion. The defensive line group was revamped, as was the linebacker group. There was a drastic increase in the quality of depth across the entire defense. Proven NFL veterans, high draft picks looking for a new start, and even the Lions' own rookies are clearly better fits for Austin's scheme. Most importantly, they are better athletes than their 2016 counterparts. The Lions' return to defensive prominence is a combination of better talent and a keen mind wielding that talent.\n\nSo Can They Keep It Up?\n\nThe answer to this question is a bit tricky, largely because what \"it\" means must be defined. Will the Lions' defense finish the year with 28 interceptions? To be frank, that is not likely. The 2016 NFL leader managed only 18. The opposition has done the Lions' defense some favors by tipping balls up in the air in the middle of the field.\n\nBeing in the right place at the right time is a product of solid defensive play. Perfectly thrown balls do not result in interceptions as often as they have for the Lions. Whereas last year the Lions could not buy a break in this regard, they have been incredibly fortunate in 2017.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1502, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "19f0f28d54f6eeb18e920079b54f8c2c40556fcb", "raw_chars": 3328, "clean_chars": 3321, "edit_ratio": 0.0582, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "While it is perhaps relatively easy to follow the theories of inner cavities or of a passage between the poles, as seen in the works of late 17th-century writers like Thomas Burnet and Athanasius Kircher, and to see their relationship to texts such as the anonymous 1721 Relation D’Un Voyage Du Pole Arctique Au Pole Antarctique Par Le Centre Du Monde—which describes a channel running through the Earth from pole to pole—it is much more difficult to understand how the idea of the hollow Earth emerged as part of Halley’s explanation of the motion of the magnetic poles. Even more inexplicable is the depiction of the hollow Earth some fifty years earlier, complete with an inner sun and inner earth, in Ludvig Holberg’s 1741 subterranean utopia, The Journey of Niels Klim to the World Underground. This is a far greater imaginative leap than Jules Verne’s well-known account of a descent into the bowels of the Earth through a dormant volcano (Voyage au centre de la terre, 1865). Verne’s narrative of the discovery of a vast underworld cavern formed during an earlier geological period seems much more plausible than Holberg’s invention of two entire inner worlds: one a planet inhabited by intelligent trees, the other the underside of the Earth’s crust, as vast as the outer crust on which we live, and populated with a fantastic variety of intelligent life forms.\n\nFirst published in Latin in 1741, The Journey of Niels Klim to the World Underground, with a new theory of the Earth and the History of the previously unknown Fifth Kingdom (Nicolai Klimii iter subterraneum, Novam Telluris theoriem ac Historiam Quintae Monarchiae adhuc nobis incognita exhibens) was quickly translated into a number of European languages. The first English edition dates from 1742. As with Verne’s Voyage, the adventure begins with the descent into a cave, although here the hero falls through a hole into the subterranean world, discovering: “that the conjectures of those men are right who hold the Earth to be hollow, and that within the shell or outward crust there is another lesser globe, and another firmament adorned with lesser sun, stars, and planets”.\n\nOn the central planet, Klim discovers a happy and prosperous utopian land of intelligent, mobile trees. In his subsequent travels around the planet, Klim encounters many bizarre varieties of intelligent trees, and each species forms a separate social grouping. It is these sections of the novel that have earned Klim a place in the history of utopia. But in the final sections of the work, Holberg turns from utopia and social satire to fantasy: Klim is expelled from the utopian land of Potu to the underside of the Earth’s crust, which is inhabited by many other fantastic creatures, all of which—plant and animal species alike—are intelligent and gifted with speech. He then discovers a race of human savages, who, of all the creatures of the subterranean world, “alone were barbarous and uncivilized”. Klim takes it upon himself to civilize them, and uses his knowledge to manufacture gunpowder and to conquer all of the countries of the firmament, becoming a tyrant—the “Alexander of the Subterranean world”. When his subjects eventually rebel, he is forced into flight and falls into the same hole through which he had previously fallen, thus returning to Norway.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1509, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8e8c845d8358f14ee2e3fb3d2372adbf2f731342", "raw_chars": 2304, "clean_chars": 2229, "edit_ratio": 0.7322, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Nelma Bell, one of my graduate students who studied forensic anthropology with the expert referenced below regarding burned remains, commented that skulls do not explode from fire or trauma.

This week, Forecast the Facts and SumOfUs, two grassroots groups working to sway public opinion about global warming, took a step toward holding legislators accountable with the release of a new report. The report exposes the companies that, according to FEC data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, have bankrolled the \"Climate Denier Caucus\" to the tune of $641 million in campaign contributions since 2008.\n\nMany of these companies claim to be working to fight global warming, even as their dollars help send climate change \"skeptics\" to Capitol Hill. The report not only names names but also highlights the apparent disconnect between political spending and corporate public relations efforts. Google CEO Eric Schmidt told an audience gathered to laud the company's efforts to build \"a better web that is better for the environment\" that \"you can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar.\" At the same time, the company whose motto is \"do no evil\" has contributed almost $700,000 for Congressional climate deniers since 2008.\n\nThat was far less than the $3.3 million AT&T has showered on science deniers in that same period, a figure that represents more than 25 percent of its total campaign funding during that time. The company's Climate and Carbon Emissions Policy states that AT&T is \"committed to operating in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner\" and to working with suppliers to limit environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain. UPS promises its customers that the company \"will be part of the solution to discover more opportunities for improvement with our industry partners and other thought leaders,\" noting that it will take determination and collaboration to create a sustainable transportation infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact. But that ethos did not spill over into their campaign spending; since 2008, UPS has donated close to $2 million to the campaigns of climate change deniers on Capitol Hill.\n\nOther companies that made the list despite \"strong rhetorical commitments to climate action\" include Microsoft, Ford, and eBay.\n\nThe study does not capture all of corporate America's support for the anti-science caucus. The authors point out that the report does not include contributions from corporate-friendly advocacy groups, such as the Club for Growth, which has given $3.7 million to climate deniers since 2008.\n\nMany of the companies bankrolling these politicians would say donations were made because the legislators support corporate tax breaks, financial deregulation, or myriad other business-friendly policies. While that may be true in a narrow sense, firms in the energy sector were only the third biggest contributors to the denial caucus. When companies support politicians along their career paths, they are ultimately responsible for what they do once in office. With new research finding that \"the preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy,\" and with corporations, business groups, and deep-pocketed donors calling the shots, that responsibility is especially pronounced.

According to appraisers, Boyle Heights (D53) was described as a “melting pot” area, literally honeycombed with diverse and subversive elements. Watts (D61), then an ethnic and racial stew of Germans, Scots, Greeks, Italians, Black, and Japanese residents, earned a “low red” grade due to its heterogeneity. If not for a scattering of Japanese and Filipino residents, HOLC officials noted that Hollywood (D29, D30) would have been entitled to a higher grade, justifying its D rating. Central Los Angeles dismayed appraisers due to its “highly heterogeneous” population and “sprinkling of subversive racial elements,” a comment that specifically referenced its concentrations of Japanese and Black residents. Bunker Hill’s (D37) declining housing stock and nonwhite population also earned it a D rating; a brief perusal of the map reveals that nearly all the neighborhoods abutting downtown Los Angeles were redlined.\n\nFinding other lines of racial demarcation is not difficult. Travel down Arlington Boulevard and one discovers an example dividing West Jefferson Park (D50) and West Adams (C119). The sunset of deed restrictions ten years earlier in the West Jefferson Park community had resulted in the “infiltration” of Black and Japanese residents into the neighborhood, which prompted white homeowners associations in West Adams to organize and prevent African American and Japanese American individuals from settling in their community. Though nearly half of West Adams’ population consisted of working-class Eastern European Jews, themselves victims of downgrading by assessors, the institutional racism of HOLC and FHA practices did not create solidarity between them and their African American and Japanese American counterparts. “This home of ours is the one big financial venture of our life, and there must be some way to protect us from this particular Japanese invasion,” one West Adams couple told the Los Angeles City Council in 1940. Assessors rewarded West Adams’ racial intransigence with a C rating.\n\nThe FHA and HOLC established a caste system of race and ethnicity. Outlying areas endured similar appraisals. The HOLC assessment chided suburban, working-class South Gate for its lack of deed restrictions, which formally prevented minority homeownership, but celebrated it for its homogeneity, awarding it a low-blue rating. Los Angeles was hardly unique in this regard; the larger structure of New Deal housing policies, as expressed through FHA policies and captured in HOLC maps, codified institutional racism nationally, particularly among working-class whites whose biggest investment had been in their homes.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1518, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "e46b420d17852e57d70ed1367ce9d947a2a56842", "raw_chars": 3450, "clean_chars": 3487, "edit_ratio": 0.0209, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that I would attempt to list my top thirty films, though in reality, doing so is not only difficult but close to impossible.

However, scientists are finding ways to optimize wind turbines for cities as well.\n\n\"What we're seeing now is a whole new generation of small, ultra-light, highly efficient wind turbines that can be built into buildings,\" said Kammen. Urban wind turbines have been experimentally introduced in various cities around the world. The World Trade Center in Bahrain, for instance, was the first set of skyscrapers to be built with integrated wind turbines, which can supply up to 15 percent of the building's electrical energy needs. The Eiffel Tower has also been fitted with two turbines.\n\nKammen and Sunter also point to the Pearl River Tower in Guangzhou, China, which incorporates wind turbines in an innovative design. \"The curved glass facade of the building funnels air to the turbines at speeds of 1.5 to 2.5 times the ambient wind speed, allowing the turbines to generate 15 times more energy than freestanding wind turbines could,\" the authors write.\n\nNew Life for Urban Waste\n\nPeople in urban areas produce about twice as much garbage as people in rural areas, Kammen and Sunter point out in their paper, and the management of municipal waste is only going to become a bigger issue as more and more people migrate into the world's cities. By 2050, urban areas are expected to see an influx of approximately 2.5 billion people.\n\nBut it's possible to take advantage of urban waste in smart ways that benefit a city's energy landscape. Landfills tend to emit gas, typically methane and carbon dioxide, which can be collected and burned for energy. Additionally, solid waste itself can be incinerated and used to generate energy.\n\nOf course, this isn't entirely a renewable method of producing energy and comes with the side effect of producing carbon emissions. But the researchers note that carbon capture systems could be built into such incineration plants to collect excess emissions and improve the method's sustainability.\n\nImproved Energy Storage\n\n\"Storage technologies are undergoing some incredibly rapid revolutions, arguably as fast or faster than the recent incredible ramp-up we've seen in solar,\" Kammen said. Renewable energy sources are likely to become more competitive as storage technology improves, enabling them to be useful even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't strong. A crucial step in the expansion of renewables in cities will likely involve constructing new buildings or retrofitting old ones to allow space for energy storage systems, Kammen said.\n\nBatteries are a key form of storage whose future is already looking bright. Energy storage on the electric grid soared in 2015, a key step forward for the expansion of solar across the country. Home batteries are also emerging, with Tesla making headlines last year with the announcement of its new Powerwall battery.\n\nKammen also pointed to a creative and competitive form of storage involving flywheels, which use spinning disks or other rotating bodies to store kinetic energy. A major advantage of flywheel storage is that it's capable of a highly rapid response rate, often even faster than batteries, according to Kammen.\n\nAn Integrated Landscape", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1565, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ce5fa854d25ee66626fd7a3b6adbc2b378d3dfb8", "raw_chars": 1123, "clean_chars": 1066, "edit_ratio": 0.8109, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Rep.

Getting around Porto proved challenging, but we managed with the help of a double-decker hop-on-hop-off bus. These tourist vehicles are undeniably corny, but they get the job done. I recommend saving some time to see the Serralves Foundation up close; skip the museum and focus on the gardens and the house. Lunch at Cufra, a Porto institution, is a must. However, do not order the Francesinha sandwich if you are over 65, unless you plan to carry a satchel of antacid tablets for an hour later.\n\nPorto is defined by its neighborhoods and vistas. The city is built on hills that gently slope into the Atlantic, angling the entire landscape. From almost every vantage point, you can see views stretching up, down, and across the city. Spend time walking along the embankments of the Douro River on both sides.\n\nTake a taxi along the river's mouth out to Foz, a leafy oceanfront village that stands apart from the rest of the city. Foz is home to Cafeina, one of Porto's best restaurants. I had recommended it to my stepsister during her honeymoon in Portugal, and it was wonderful to bring her mother there for a meal a year later. If you have the time, return to visit Cafeina's sister restaurant, Terra, located across the street.\n\nWe hit the hotel jackpot again in Porto. We chose the safe option and booked a major brand, the InterContinental Palacio das Cardosas on the city hall square. Sticking with a well-known brand paid off. The InterContinental delivered everything a high-end hotel should: it was beautiful, spotless, and the rooms were plush and comfortable. The staff was gracious, helpful, and friendly. In all candor, I almost didn't believe it. I kept waiting for something to go wrong, but it never did.\n\nWe short-changed Porto, as we only spent one night on its seaside slopes. However, we had a few days of relaxing, wine-tasting, and eating ahead of us in Pinhão, the heart of the Douro Valley. This is one of my favorite places in the world.\n\nOne of the best parts of visiting the Douro Valley is the journey from Porto. The two-hour trip along a regional rail spur is long, but once the second hour begins and the train starts skimming the banks of the Douro (sit on the right side going out, the left side returning), the journey becomes the closest thing to a river cruise on rails. The views are breathtaking.\n\nKnowing that older travelers appreciate included breakfast and a certain level of service, I went with what I know. Two years ago, I had a short stay at The Vintage House Hotel, courtesy of a knowledgeable friend from Porto, and I decided to return.\n\nAs we sipped a glass of port at the check-in desk, marking the start of a three-day trip that left the Floridians grinning from ear to ear, I knew I had made the right decision.\n\nThe experience only got better. The Vintage House could use a tiny touch-up of paint to cover a scratch here and a scuff there, but the hotel and its setting overlooking a gentle bend in the Douro are luxurious and seductive. The Vintage House features wood-beam ceilings and heavy furniture, so do not stay here if you prefer minimalist chic. Breakfasts are excellent, and the hotel's restaurant serves a highly respectable, if somewhat stuffy, dinner.

The rice companies belonging to Corporación Arrocera (Conarroz) are the only entities permitted to import rice duty-free. Because rice is price-controlled, these companies can only sell it at a maximum price. Since imported rice is much cheaper than locally produced rice, these companies simply sell the inexpensive foreign rice at the fixed prices and pocket the difference. Because rice is a staple of the working class diet, this arrangement gives Conarroz members significant power.\n\nIt is no secret that foreign investment has dramatically increased prices in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, construction materials are also heavily taxed. Families wishing to build a simple home on a rural plot of land must pay nearly double what they would in neighboring countries.

Such development would enhance countries' energy security by relying on an indigenous, inexhaustible, and largely import-independent resource, while also improving sustainability, reducing pollution, lowering the costs of mitigating climate change, and keeping fossil fuel prices lower than they would otherwise be. Because these advantages are global, the agency argued that the additional costs of incentives for early deployment should be viewed as learning investments. These investments must be wisely spent and widely shared. More than 100 countries currently use solar photovoltaics (PV).\n\nPhotovoltaics is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of numerous solar cells containing photovoltaic materials. Materials currently used for photovoltaics include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium selenide/sulfide. Due to the increased demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has advanced considerably in recent years.\n\nSolar photovoltaics is a sustainable energy source. By the end of 2011, a total of 71.1 gigawatts had been installed, sufficient to generate 85 terawatt-hours per year. By the end of 2012, the 100-gigawatt installed capacity milestone was achieved. Solar photovoltaics is now, after hydro and wind power, the third most important renewable energy source in terms of globally installed capacity. In 2016, following another year of rapid growth, solar generated 1.3% of global power.\n\nDriven by advances in technology and increases in manufacturing scale and sophistication, the cost of photovoltaics has declined steadily since the first solar cells were manufactured. The levelized cost of electricity from PV is now competitive with conventional electricity sources in an expanding list of geographic regions. Net metering and financial incentives, such as preferential feed-in tariffs for solar-generated electricity, have supported solar PV installations in many countries. The Energy Payback Time, also known as energy amortization, depends on the location's annual solar insolation and temperature profile, as well as on the type of PV technology used. For conventional crystalline silicon photovoltaics, the Energy Payback Time is higher than for thin-film technologies such as cadmium telluride PV or concentrated photovoltaic systems. Moreover, the payback time has decreased in recent years due to improvements such as higher solar cell efficiency and more economical manufacturing processes. As of 2014, photovoltaics recouped on average the energy needed to manufacture them in 0.7 to 2 years. This results in approximately 95% of net-clean energy being produced by a solar rooftop PV system over a 30-year lifetime. Installations may be ground-mounted, sometimes integrated with farming and grazing, or built into the roof or walls of a building, known as building-integrated photovoltaics or simply rooftop systems.\n\nBiofuels", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1607, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "702cad5334c81ee66f8bf56987e33c97ce99ae2f", "raw_chars": 3107, "clean_chars": 3190, "edit_ratio": 0.4442, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "During his third and final voyage, Captain James Cook became the first European to initiate formal contact with Hawaii. After his initial landfall in January 1778 at Waimea harbor on Kauai, Cook named the archipelago the \"Sandwich Islands\" in honor of the fourth Earl of Sandwich, who served as the acting First Lord of the Admiralty of the British Royal Navy. Cook's final voyage also involved sailing along the coast of North America and Alaska for approximately nine months in search of a Northwest Passage. After arriving in the Hawaiian islands in 1778, Cook sailed north and then northeast to explore the west coast of North America, extending his reach north of the Spanish settlements in Alta California. He made landfall on the Oregon coast at approximately 44°30′ north latitude, naming his landing point Cape Foulweather. Adverse weather forced his ships south to about 43° north before they could resume their exploration of the coast northward. In March 1778, Cook landed on Bligh Island and named the inlet \"King George's Sound.\" He recorded that the native name was Nutka or Nootka, though this appears to have been a misunderstanding of his conversations at Friendly Cove, also known as Yuquot. His informant may have been explaining that he was on an island, using the phrase \"itchme nutka,\" which translates to a place you can \"go around.\" There may also have been confusion with Nuu-chah-nulth, the natives' autonym, or it may simply have resulted from Cook's mispronunciation of Yuquot, the native name of the place. Cook later returned to Hawaii to resupply, initially exploring the coasts of Maui and the Big Island, trading with locals, and eventually anchoring at Kealakekua Bay in January 1779. When his ships and crew departed the islands, a ship's mast broke in bad weather, forcing them to return in mid-February. Cook was killed just days later.\n\nIndependence and expansion (1776–1865)\n\nThe American Revolutionary War marked the first successful colonial war of independence against a European power. During this period, Americans developed an ideology of \"republicanism,\" asserting that government rested on the will of the people as expressed through their local legislatures. They demanded their rights as Englishmen, famously chanting \"no taxation without representation.\" The British, however, insisted on administering the empire through Parliament, and the conflict escalated into war. The Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4. In a lengthy preamble, the document recognized that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, and that these rights were not being protected by Great Britain. It declared, in the words of the resolution, that the thirteen United Colonies formed an independent nation and had no further allegiance to the British crown. The fourth day of July is celebrated annually as Independence Day. On September 9, the Second Continental Congress declared that, from that point forward, the term \"United Colonies\" would be replaced with \"United States.\" In 1777, the Articles of Confederation established a weak government that operated until 1789.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1607, "chunk_idx": 20, "raw_sha1": "8fc3c7f9f1ce8ba7df645ac167b2a32d172b9ef1", "raw_chars": 3155, "clean_chars": 3122, "edit_ratio": 0.1952, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The United States is the world's oldest surviving federation. It operates as a representative democracy, a system in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law. The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances defined by the U.S. Constitution, which serves as the country's supreme legal document. In 2018, the U.S. ranked 25th on the Democracy Index and 22nd on the Corruption Perceptions Index.\n\nIn the American federalist system, citizens are usually subject to three levels of government: federal, state, and local. The duties of local government are commonly split between county and municipal authorities. In almost all cases, executive and legislative officials are elected by a plurality vote of citizens within their districts. There is no proportional representation at the federal level, and it is rare at lower levels as well.\n\nThe federal government is composed of three branches. The House of Representatives has 435 voting members, each representing a congressional district for a two-year term. House seats are apportioned among the states by population every tenth year. At the 2010 census, seven states had the minimum of one representative, while California, the most populous state, had 53. The District of Columbia and the five major U.S. territories each have one member of Congress, but these members are not allowed to vote.\n\nThe Senate has 100 members, with each state having two senators elected at-large to six-year terms; one-third of Senate seats are up for election every other year. The District of Columbia and the five major U.S. territories do not have senators. The President serves a four-year term and may be elected to the office no more than twice. The President is not elected by direct vote, but by an indirect electoral college system in which the determining votes are apportioned to the states and the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court, led by the Chief Justice of the United States, has nine members who serve for life.\n\nState governments are structured in roughly similar fashion, though Nebraska uniquely has a unicameral legislature. The governor, who serves as the chief executive of each state, is directly elected. Some state judges and cabinet officers are appointed by the governors of the respective states, while others are elected by popular vote.\n\nThe original text of the Constitution establishes the structure and responsibilities of the federal government and its relationship with the individual states. Article One protects the right to the \"great writ\" of habeas corpus. The Constitution has been amended 27 times; the first ten amendments, which make up the Bill of Rights, and the Fourteenth Amendment form the central basis of Americans' individual rights. All laws and governmental procedures are subject to judicial review, and any law ruled by the courts to be in violation of the Constitution is voided. The principle of judicial review, not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, was established by the Supreme Court in Marbury v.

This growth, in turn, led to the establishment of many new technology companies and regions around the country, such as Silicon Valley in California. Advancements by American microprocessor companies such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel, along with computer software and hardware companies including Adobe Systems, Apple Inc., IBM, Microsoft, and Sun Microsystems, created and popularized the personal computer.

Because of America's rapidly exploding debt, the rest of the world is starting to lose faith in the U.S. dollar and in U.S. Treasuries.

According to an Emerson College poll published this week, Evan McMullin, the independent conservative candidate for president, holds a slim lead over Donald Trump in his home state of Utah, topping Trump 31% to 27%. If McMullin were to win The Beehive State, the ex-CIA agent and former director of the House Republican Conference would snag six entire electoral votes—as would his running mate, former Republican strategist (and, we should note, member of the Tribe) Mindy Finn. This would be the first time since a maverick elector cast a vote for Libertarian John Hospers in 1972 that a third-party candidate took home an electoral tally, something that such one-time household names as John Anderson, Ross Perot, and Ralph Nader couldn’t accomplish. (In an ironic reversal, the last third-party candidate to win a state was segregationist George Wallace in 1968.)\n\nIt’s fitting that this election season could end with such a rarity. Anderson, Perot, and Nader were nationally prominent figures when they launched their independent bids for the presidency. But Perot, who got 19% of the popular vote in 1992, was up against incumbent president George H.W. Bush and charismatic Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. Anderson ran against the Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter in 1980. Third-party options aside, both elections offered a compelling binary choice between fairly traditional candidates. If McMullin and Finn win Utah, it would underscore the widespread dissatisfaction at the Republican and Democratic candidates, who at one point were the two least-popular presidential nominees in history.\n\nThe unique dynamics of the 2016 race benefit McMullin in another respect: as Noah Feldman recently noted in Bloomberg View, solid-red Utah has seen through Donald Trump to a degree that few other places have, largely thanks to the state’s sizable Mormon population, a religious demographic that, Feldman notes, is “genuinely repulsed by Donald Trump.” Trump has exposed conservative ideology as being fluid and conditional for GOP voters and many of their elected leaders. Not so with Utah’s Mormons, who seem unwilling to lower their standards of moral behavior for the New York real estate developer’s benefit. Mormons are also sensitive to the scapegoating of other religious groups: As Feldman writes, the church came out forcefully against Trump’s proposed ban on all Muslim travel to the US, mindful, perhaps, of the Mormon community’s all-too-recent history of persecution here in the US.\n\nMcMullin, a Mormon who, by his own telling, once spoke at least some conversational Arabic, is an anti-Trumpian figure: someone who’s conservative without seeming vindictive, petty, or inward-facing. In an interview with Glamour, his running mate Finn struck an anti-Trumpian, cosmopolitan tone. “We believe that everybody is equal and valuable in this country,” Finn said, adding that “We welcome immigrants, we celebrate that we are a country of immigrants and a melting pot.” Jewish conservatives have been some of the most energetic opponents of Trump—and have absorbed a sustained campaign of harassment from his supporters.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1648, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "790d9ca0ed08e2de1d7067bbdf234c58c27e601d", "raw_chars": 2699, "clean_chars": 2700, "edit_ratio": 0.7407, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Scott Brown of ESPN reported from the Steelers locker room that defensive end Cameron Heyward remained visibly upset about the \"dirty play\" he experienced from the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Heyward did not hide his anger in the visiting locker room at FirstEnergy Field, and his frustration extended beyond the Steelers being embarrassed by one of their archrivals. He was still fuming over being chop-blocked several times during the game. Late in the fourth quarter, Heyward hurt his ankle and angrily pointed at Browns left tackle Joe Thomas multiple times as he walked off the field. Although Heyward did not sustain a significant injury, he emphasized that the nature of the play was the real issue. \"It's a dirty play,\" Heyward said regarding the chop-blocking. \"We talk so much about safety. We don't do a good job of keeping it safe for everybody. I think it's a cowardly thing, but if they are going to coach it like that, that's their call.\"\n\nSteelers Depot provided GIFs of the incident and noted that this is not a new complaint for the Steelers. Nose tackle Steve McLendon had accused the Browns of illegal chop-blocking three times during Week 1.\n\nThere is no doubt that it is dangerous for an offensive lineman to go low in a blocking scheme. Anytime a player purposely makes contact with another's knees or lower leg, serious injuries can occur. It appears that Joe Thomas likely violated the rule in one form or another. If Heyward was engaged with another lineman, the block would be illegal according to the rules. Specifically, on a running play, if an offensive lineman chops a defensive player after that defensive player has been engaged by another offensive lineman who is aligned more than one position away, and the block occurs when the flow of the play is clearly away from the chop-blocker, it is a penalty.\n\nEven if Heyward was not engaged, Joe Thomas might have violated the updated version of the rule because he blocked Heyward from a blind position. For a block to be considered a legal \"cut block,\" the blocker must square up to the defender so the defender can see him coming. Ed Bouchette from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette explained that the block is only legal if the \"chop\" comes from a lineman playing next to the one doing the initial blocking, rather than from two men over. Furthermore, the rule changed this year. Now, the \"chop\" blocker must get his head in front of the man he is blocking so the defender can see him and has a chance to defend himself.\n\nThe league will likely review the incident later this week.

A camera followed nearly every move before the game, and the 42-year-old from Tempe, Arizona, seemed at ease in the spotlight. She had at least two players shake her hand before the opening kickoff.\n\nThough she wasn't involved in many calls until late, Eastin stayed steady among the giants and the national spotlight, earning her stripes by receiving the ultimate officials' compliment: It was almost as if she wasn't there. It's no surprise. She's a referee in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, college football's second-highest level, and a 16-year veteran of officiating. Eastin got her NFL shot as a replacement official, among a group taking the place of the regular referees, who were locked out.\n\nAnd now, she'll have a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

While the malign forces of progressivism may have been on the march for the past several years, with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi hovering like Nazgûls over middle America and Barack Obama wielding the \"One Pen to Rule Them All\" vengefully, it is Republicans who are the real problem. According to this view, the Grand Old Party has aided and abetted the country’s leftward lurch, proving themselves quislings and cowards all the way down, from John Boehner to John McCain. Breitbart.com surveyed the nation and found not a conservative to be found among them.\n\nIt turns out that Trump fans were right all along, just not in the way they thought. On Friday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump in what was surely the most transparent display of affection since Judas Iscariot’s Gethsemane kiss. Christie had spent the last several months blasting his tri-state opponent on the campaign trail, criticizing his absurd promise to make Mexico pay for a wall on the United States’ southern border, his proposed ban on Muslims entering the country, and his refusal to address entitlement reform. He had reportedly told the New Hampshire Union Leader’s publisher, Joe McQuaid, that he would \"never\" endorse Trump, though Christie claims McQuaid is misremembering.\n\nPresumably, Christie thinks an endorsement will increase the likelihood of his securing a position in a Trump administration. Given Trump’s financial history, that is a likelier prospect than his receiving 30 pieces of silver. But he has agreed to be, for the next several months, willingly at the end of Trump’s leash. Evidence of this dynamic was Trump and Christie’s brief exchange after Christie’s speech in Arkansas: \"Get on the plane and go home,\" Trump said, caught on a hot mic. \"It’s over.

He stated, \"Harming Allah and his messenger is a reason to encourage Muslims to kill whoever does that.\" The post also featured a link to a 2009 Huffington Post article detailing Parker and Stone's mansion in Colorado, as well as images of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an activist writer and critic of Islam who lives under permanent security protection due to threats.

Added to the mix were independent voters ineligible because they weren't registered with a party, some of whom who lined up anyway and were eventually issued \"provisional\" ballots.\n\nDucey suggested one way to fix the problem is by allowing independents who make up the largest voting bloc in the state to vote in presidential primaries.\n\n\"A big part of yesterday's problem was registered voters showing up, and being told they couldn't vote,\" Ducey said. \"That's just wrong.\"\n\nThe messy elections also added to a debate in Arizona and Utah about the costs of holding presidential nominating contests.

The Associated Press\n\nBy Bob Christie, Associated Press\n\nPHOENIX (AP) — Bruce Weiss fumed after waiting two and a half hours in line outside a downtown Phoenix polling place. Juice drinks, snacks, and circus animal cookies were handed out by citizens hoping to pacify the thousands who turned out to cast ballots in Arizona's presidential primary.\n\nThe scene was repeated across the city as thousands stood in lines that wrapped around sidewalks at churches, community centers, and government buildings. The number of voting locations had been cut back as a cost-saving measure. Some voters took shelter from the sun under umbrellas, while others brought lawn chairs. Still others gave up and went home. The last voters entered polling spots after midnight.\n\n\"It's like a complete, total failure of government,\" Weiss said.\n\nWaits dragged on for as long as five hours in Maricopa County, which is home to metro Phoenix and 1.2 million eligible voters. Despite this large population, only 60 polling places were open.\n\nBy Wednesday, the mayor of Phoenix said the cutbacks were about more than saving money. Mayor Greg Stanton, a Democrat, called for a federal investigation into whether election officials illegally placed fewer polling locations in poor or minority-heavy areas. In a letter to the Justice Department, Stanton also cited examples of other policies adopted by election officials and the state Legislature that have created \"a culture of voter disenfranchisement.\"\n\nArizona's Republican governor called the primary day foul-ups \"unacceptable,\" and others demanded the resignation of the county's top elections official, Recorder Helen Purcell.\n\nPurcell initially put the blame on voters, stirring a clamor on the Internet. Her name became a trending topic on Twitter. But on Wednesday, she backtracked, saying she failed to anticipate the effect of intense voter interest on primary turnout.\n\n\"I made bad decisions based on the information I had, obviously, or we wouldn't have had long lines,\" Purcell told The Associated Press.\n\nIn the 2012 presidential primary, there were 200 places for voters to cast ballots in the county, which is heavily Republican. By comparison, Pima County, home to more liberal Tucson and a quarter of Maricopa County's population, had 124 voting locations on Tuesday.\n\nRamped-up interest in the presidential primary was also seen on Tuesday in Idaho and Utah, where results were delayed as throngs of voters packed caucus sites. Republican and Democratic party officials predicted record turnouts but still underestimated the crowds.\n\nThree-fourths of the Democratic caucus sites in Utah ran out of ballots, sending workers to nearby stores to print more ballots, or sending voters home to bring back reams of paper or even a home printer at one site.\n\nBut the biggest outcry was from Arizona.\n\nShrinking the number of voting spots in the Phoenix area was meant to save $1.5 million, officials said. But other factors that contributed to the fiasco, which saw Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump breeze to victories in Arizona, were the growing number of mail-in ballots the county recorder has seen in the last decade.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1706, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f1e7245a1dae97d49df7b4785d5407b371df4e11", "raw_chars": 3291, "clean_chars": 3285, "edit_ratio": 0.0015, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Sarah Harrison speaks at the re: publica 2014 in Berlin on May 6, 2014.

Help Truthout keep publishing grassroots journalism and bold ideas – make a tax-deductible donation today.\n\nThis interview with Sarah Harrison of the Courage Foundation is based on a radio interview conducted by Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese on Clearing The FOG, originally heard on We Act Radio, 1480 AM in Washington, DC, and also available by podcast.\n\nSarah Harrison is a British journalist, legal researcher and WikiLeaks investigation editor. She works with WikiLeaks and is a close adviser to Julian Assange. Harrison accompanied National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden on a high-profile flight from Hong Kong to Moscow while he was sought by the United States government. She is director of the new Courage Foundation, which seeks to defend whistleblowers as well as our right to know.\n\nKevin Zeese: Sarah, tell us what the Courage Foundation is and what the goals of the organization are.\n\nSarah Harrison: The Courage Foundation was born from the idea that whistleblowers need protection from prosecution. When we first started to help Edward Snowden, there were many other NGOs and organizations around the world that should have been able to help him; but, when it comes to high risk people with huge persecution from places like the United States, the reality is that to move quickly and robustly to provide the support they need is actually very difficult. So after we helped Snowden, we realized that there was a need for an organization that was able to do this for future Snowdens as well. So we set up Courage on that basis. In addition, Courage will be fighting for policy and legal changes to give whistleblowers the protections they deserve. I’m very pleased that you accepted to be on our advisory board Kevin.\n\nKevin Zeese: Thank you for inviting me to be on the board. I also like the way you frame the issue of the public’s right to know as part of the agenda because I think that is essential to having any kind of freedom of speech in the 21st century. It is important to frame it as not just our right to speak, but our right to have information.\n\nSarah Harrison: In the United States, they are aggressively going after whistleblowers and truth tellers. When you look at the Jeremy Hammond case, he exposed abuses by the private intelligence organization Stratfor that was spying on Bhopal activists. He was aggressively prosecuted by US courts and sentenced to 10 years in prison. You see persecution against individual journalists and publishers as well. Anyone who is speaking truth to power in any real manner is being come down upon by the US government to try and set examples and to stop the truth from being exposed in the future.\n\nKevin Zeese: That is exactly right. You are a good person to be directing Courage because you have showed a lot of courage. I don’t know if you knew what you were getting into when you escorted Snowden to Russia but I’m sure that it has had a big impact on your security and liberty.

This problem increased the country’s national debt from a debt to GDP ratio of 65.7% at the end of 2011 up to 109.4% by the end of Q3 2016. The country has been improving its debt positions since then, but it still has a long way to go before it will have paid off all of the debts accumulated during 2012 and 2013.\n\nCyprus’s debt profile\n\nThe difficulties of the banks of Cyprus meant that they could not raise funds from international loans. The necessity of forcing haircuts on the holders of both Greek and Cypriot government debt made it impossible for the country to raise any more debt by selling bonds to traders. So, the debt profile of Cyprus changed from one that issued bonds in order to finance a government deficit, to one that need to seek intergovernmental loans.\n\nCyprus’s priority of paying down its IMF and European assistance loans means that the prospect of increasing the national debt is not a medium-term goal. Instead, the government is focused on reducing the national debt.\n\nThe table below shows how the debt profile of Cyprus has changed because of the 2012-2013 bank bailout. These figures are from the PUblic Debt Management Office of Cyprus and the numbers shown represent millions of Euros.\n\nDebt Type 2010 2017 A. DOMESTIC 12,701.4 11,297.2 B.

CONSOLIDATED GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEBT 10,862 18,724.7 % of GDP 56.3 98.4\n\nAs these figures show, the domestic debt of the Cypriot government has not changed much in the seven years between the end of 2010 and the end of 2017. However, the overall debt has increased by about 8 billion Euros. All of this amount was sourced from loans and not through bonds.\n\nThe repayment tasks of the government of Cyprus was made harder by the high cost of emergency debt.\n\nWho manages Cyprus’s national debt?\n\nThe Ministry of Finance is in charge of organizing the government’s budget which is the ultimate source of further debt in the country. This department is answerable to the country’s parliament. However, the Ministry does not implement its own debt policy. Instead, the Public Debt Management Office is tasked with managing the country’s national debt.\n\nThe Public Debt Management Office’s task is to get that public debt down. Part of that responsibility lies in reducing the cost of servicing that debt by paying down high interest loans by taking out lower cost debt. This strategy saves the country money, thus free up more funds to pay down more debt.\n\nThe graph below shows the success of the PDMO’s strategy to reduce the cost of the debt.\n\nHow does the Cypriot government raise loans?\n\nThe previous “haircut” imposed on bond holders makes the trader community wary of buying Cypriot government bonds. However, there are some investment instruments that the PDMO can use to raise lower cost loans.

He revised the face of the sky, describing it as \"certain distinct modifications.\" The three basic cloud types corresponded to zones or depths of the sky as well as to structural forms: cirrus to the high, fibrous wisps; cumulus to the conical heaps of the middle ground; and stratus to the horizontal sheets of mist that hug the earth. Clouds were translated from mere figurations into objective modifications, and weather became a system. These distinctions have become so normalized that we can hardly grasp the absolute novelty of understanding clouds through structural typology. After Howard, clouds were seen for the first time. His nomenclature provided a lens that entered public knowledge quickly, and the importance of his system can be gauged by its immediate adoption not only by other meteorologists but also within the literary and visual arts. After Howard, Shelley, Coleridge, and Goethe wrote cloud poems. Goethe shared his cloud treatise with German and Danish Romantic painters. In Modern Painters, Ruskin wrote long treatises on the perspectival representation of clouds.

The weather is notably cooler under bright, clear blue skies. Temperatures bottomed out at -30°F last night.\n\nSonny Lindner and Aaron Burmeister have been hopping across the tundra from Ophir, and it now appears that Aaron will be the first to reach Cripple. Pundits here in Cripple are wondering if Sonny actually intends to stop, as his rest schedule might suggest a push toward the Yukon checkpoint. I believe this idea has merit after walking the outgoing trail.\n\nThe trail is perfect—hard and well-set. It is unusual to have such a solid, fast trail in the Interior, where temperatures are cold, typical of the Yukon basin, and dry. Often disturbed by snow machines, the trail here typically has a fluffy four-inch layer of snow. At its worst, the trail in and out of Cripple can be unstable, breaking up into a sugar bowl of dry crystals. Therefore, it may be a great opportunity to keep mushing deep into the middle of the race, where a 24-hour rest makes more sense.\n\nCripple is simply a point on the map midway between Ophir and Ruby. The only reason Cripple exists is to break up the 150-mile trail to Ruby in an area many regard as one of the most remote in Alaska. Another reason is that a slough exists which can be used for landing Iditarod aircraft on skis.\n\nOn a practical basis, the collection of tents and elegant plywood shacks used for cooking, housing volunteers, and mushers would only be possible because of the vision of Jim Paulus. Jim has worked to design the quarters here at camp. He hustles building materials from sponsors in Anchorage, then cuts them into lengths and widths that can fit into small aircraft and can be assembled on site in winter conditions.\n\nPhotos are included to show the camp, the outgoing trail, and the musher shack with a gravity oil-burning stove. Note the black spruce typical of the area. North to the Yukon and east of this location are areas known particularly for marten trapping. I spent several winters east of here trapping in game-rich territory off the Yukon. For some reason, however, the area near Cripple is almost barren of tracks—rarely a moose track and a surprising dearth of marten tracks, the main furbearer along the Yukon. At any rate, this is a cold hole, the coldest place on the Iditarod trail, and kind of a no man’s land. This site will not be visited by humans until the Iditarod comes through here again in 2016.\n\nA pilot from the Iditarod air force spotted Aaron on the incoming trail. Although we have internet here, we note that the tracker probably does not accurately know where Cripple sits to the mile. So, it’s like the old days where we look up at the far end of the slough for the first musher on the trail. Aaron, readers may call, is gimping from a crash and hobbling on one knee, a serious problem in snow. However, his team is smoking and he just cannot contemplate pulling the plug. I hope he can make it.\n\nThe first musher into Cripple collects $3,000 in gold, a nice incentive for an early arrival.\n\nRace fans should be delighted with an unusual dilemma. No single musher has emerged to dominate or even suggest an eventual winner. It’s too close to call. Martin Buser, who can never be discounted, is also en route to Cripple. Should he be able to maintain race pace, he could be hours, maybe six hours, ahead of the pack.

President Barack Obama recently declared June as LGBT Pride Month in the United States, following an example set by President Bill Clinton during his second term. This year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also issued her own proclamation at the State Department.\n\nObama later shifted his position, allowing his Justice Department to file briefs supporting both the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibited federal recognition of legal same-sex marriages, and the \"Don't Ask, Don't Tell\" policy that excluded open gay individuals from the military, even though he had campaigned against both laws.\n\nThe 40th anniversary of Stonewall will be marked by the traditional LGBT Pride Parade down Fifth Avenue and by pride marches around the world, from Youngstown, Ohio, which is hosting its first parade this year, to Moscow, Russia, where activists face annual beatings from skinheads and police. There are now also separate African American pride parades across the United States.\n\nStonewall gives New York a certain preeminence in the LGBT movement, but the clash was neither the first public display of gay resistance, nor has the city and state maintained their claim to be the world leader in progress since then. Five states, from Massachusetts to Iowa, have already moved ahead of New York in legalizing same-sex marriage.\n\nPerhaps it is New York arrogance, but it was not until this year that New York City launched an ad campaign, euphemistically called \"Rainbow Pilgrimage,\" to attract gay tourism—something that cities like London and Amsterdam have been doing for years. The rainbow theme may be intended to reference the 40th anniversary of the death of Judy Garland, whose signature song was \"Over the Rainbow.\"\n\nWith gay issues so much in the forefront this year, it is a good time to examine where New York has led and where it has followed, despite its reputation as the birthplace of the modern movement.\n\nPre-Stonewall History\n\nWhile the religious right often speaks about homosexuality as something that has always been condemned, many cultures have celebrated it. Evidence of this can be found on some Greek urns in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is even evidence of same-sex union ceremonies in early Christianity, not to mention the Bible's celebration of the love between pairs such as Ruth and Naomi, as well as David and Jonathan. These couples may or may not have been gay in the modern sense, but their ardency for each other certainly goes beyond friendship. Indeed, Ruth's words to Naomi—\"whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God\" (Ruth 1:16)—are often used in wedding ceremonies.\n\nIn the modern Western world, German physician Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Scientific Humanitarian Committee in 1897 to fight for gay rights and overturn Germany's anti-sodomy laws. He enlisted supporters such as Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Martin Buber, Hermann Hesse, and Richard von Krafft-Ebing. His Institute for Sexual Research was housed in a villa near the Reichstag from 1919 until the Nazis drove him out in the 1930s, famously burning the group's library in 1933.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1754, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8df5e4bfffef090e2a7f560ffdb45d3f045dcfa9", "raw_chars": 3233, "clean_chars": 3244, "edit_ratio": 0.2367, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I am interested in the weather.

But I am interested in weather also because cultural displacement has shown me that weather is a rhetoric. Furthermore, it is the rhetoric of sincerity, falling in a soothing, familial vernacular. It is expressed between friendly strangers. I speak it to you: a beautiful morning. You speak it back: the fog has lifted. We are now a society. To say insincerity is foreign to weather is precise. Weather is the mythic equilibrium of the social, rising and falling in the numbly intimate metres of the commonplace. For a long time, the rhythm is opaque to the stranger. Haltingly, you begin to sing, during the long cab ride from the airport, the long chorus of place. You enter a new weather, an unfamiliar system of sincerity. You learn it by example. You begin to adjust, to settle; put in order; regulate. But you are a spy in sincerity. The real knowledge of weather is indigenous.\n\nShould it come as a surprise that Britain's most profitable television export is not costume drama but weatherporn? Weatherporn. An atmospheric condition dallies with some lives, and we drink its lusty spectacle from the screen. Description pries up, frees itself, briefly phatic, expresses a gestural plenitude, framed by but untied to the sociality of objects. This loosening is diction as rhythm. It crosses borders. The weather becomes a flickering social prosody. As it abstracts into rhythm, it becomes commodified, universal. Really. It was a fireball, right through the front door, and out the back.\n\nIt's real. It's mythic. It's wild. It's a vernacular. It's didactic. It's boredom. It's ceaseless. It's a delusional space.\n\nStacy Doris says, \"In terms of geographies and nationalities, the best bet for poetry is delusional space... Any poetry that doesn't somehow begin in a realm of wild fantasy is not worth the writing.\" This weather is the wild fantasy. It seizes us. Together, our faces tilt upwards. A wild dream of parity must have its own weather, and that weather will always have as its structure an incommensurability. If each forecast is a fiction, I prefer to add to that fiction alternate delusions—a delusional politics that describes current conditions as it poses futurities. I mean it.\n\nHere is what I want to say. Sincerity has a rhetorical history. The history of the description of weather parallels the history of sincerity as a rhetorical value. The delimitation or purification of diction is common to both. Part of this delimitation is idiomatic; part derives from a tradition of quotation, of genre. When Virgil described the weather prognostications in The Georgics, he quoted Lucretius and Aratus' Diosemia, which in turn referred to Hesiod's Works and Days. James Thomson, in The Seasons, quoted Virgil, both structurally and substantially. John Clare learned an ideology of directly observed description from Thomson, as did Wordsworth. Etcetera.

Such measures are no more of a solution than extended unemployment benefits, increased federal government spending and hiring, or expanded food stamp programs. They merely push the underlying problems into the future at a terrible cost. Despite this largesse, unemployment will not improve, and the monetary and fiscal impact on the economy will diminish. This is the law of diminishing returns. Last year, official figures reported 3% growth, but this year, growth is expected to be about 1% lower, landing between 2% and 2.25%. The effectiveness of current policies is losing momentum and strength. The pressing question is whether a $1.7 trillion Quantitative Easing program (QE3), combined with $850 billion in additional fiscal spending, can sustain even 1% growth. The answer is no. This fading monetary and fiscal policy will be accompanied by ever-declining government revenues, unless even more debt is created. Does this situation feel like governments are running around in circles with no solution in sight? If so, you are correct. The only viable answer is to purge the system, and the sooner the better. The longer the problems are deferred, the more individuals will face unemployment and underemployment. This means borrowing and the use of credit cannot be sustained, and consequently, the economy cannot grow. Even if spending cuts and higher taxes were implemented, the economic and financial effects would not be felt for six months to a year. Government has waited too long.\n\nProjections for the future are very difficult, primarily because we do not know where interest rates will settle. We assume they will be higher, but by how much? We simply do not know. We can point out that in 1980, official inflation was 14.375%, and the long bond yield was over 20%. Will that scenario be repeated? We do not know, but we could see something close to those figures. In the event of hyperinflation, we could see inflation rates reaching 30%. Who knows? We will not know until we approach that reality. Are we going to resemble the German Weimar Republic of the early 1920s or today's Zimbabwe? We do not know, but it is certainly possible and near the edge of probability.\n\nWhat truly captures our attention is the belief held by the elitists who control these systems that they can retain their grip on power. If they cannot, they figure they will simply instigate another major war, as they have in the past.

Circumcision, after all, serves as a potent metaphor for parental betrayal and emasculation. The anti-circumcision movement offers men a powerful explanation for the sense of loss and declining potency that often accompany aging. Milos notes that she most frequently hears from men in their forties, who begin experiencing trouble with sexual performance and ask, \"What has happened to my penis?\" One possible explanation is that they are suffering the effects of their circumcision. Another is simply that they are getting older.\n\nScientifically, the results of research regarding circumcision and sexual function are mixed. Numerous studies have examined men who were circumcised as adults. In some studies, the majority reported that their sex lives improved afterward, while in others, the majority said it got worse. A 2002 study in the Journal of Urology reported that the \"decrease in penile sensitivity that resulted from circumcision bordered on statistical significance.\" However, a 2005 study in Urologia Internationalis found that 38 percent of men reported improved penile sensation after circumcision, while 18 percent said it diminished, with the majority reporting no change.\n\nYet even if circumcision is not usually experienced as the life-destroying mutilation critics describe, there is something strange about the custom's persistence, particularly among secular Jews who do not follow dietary laws or observe the Sabbath. \"Circumcision has always been a procedure in search of a justification,\" says Chapin, and she is not wrong. In the Jewish tradition, the brit milah lies at the very core of God's covenant with his people. But as Jews grew more secular, ancillary reasons for circumcision emerged. In the Victorian era, it was said to prevent masturbation, which was one reason that non-Jewish people in both the United States and England adopted the practice. For modern liberals, the idea of circumcision as an impediment to masturbation is, if anything, a strike against the practice, serving as evidence that it does indeed impede sexual pleasure. But as early reasons for circumcision have been eclipsed, new ones have emerged, particularly the procedure's role in protecting men against sexually transmitted diseases.\n\nStill, the medical evidence is ambiguous enough that the American Academy of Pediatrics makes no recommendation in either direction. Reason alone does not explain circumcision's survival. There are still vestiges of religion involved, things that do not quite make sense in secular terms.\n\nIt is absurd to compare male circumcision to female clitoridectomy. Yet when doctors, in an attempt to mitigate the harm of female circumcision, have proposed introducing forms of female genital cutting that are less severe than male circumcision, they have been attacked for capitulating to barbarism. Last year, for example, the American Academy of Pediatrics proposed allowing doctors to perform \"ritual nicks\" on baby girls to satisfy their parents' demands for circumcision, but the outcry was so great that the AAP had to withdraw the policy. If merely pricking a baby girl's genitalia is wildly controversial, but cutting a boy's genitalia is routine, it is because of the very different civilization meaning we ascribe to the two acts.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1785, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "6d046acdc821934b432e1b37e0e4e2e899316b3f", "raw_chars": 2625, "clean_chars": 2559, "edit_ratio": 0.5914, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "That concludes the setup.

On a player's turn, they complete the following steps in sequential order.\n\nStep 1: Play Brewery Cards\n\nA player can play up to three Brewery cards from their hand. However, for every Brewery card played, the total number of Brewery cards they can draw at the end of their turn is reduced. Brewery cards come in two types: Immediate and Persistent. Immediate Brewery cards have an effect on the game as soon as they are played and are then discarded. Their effects can target the player who played the card, other players, or all players. Persistent Brewery cards may have a one-time or ongoing effect, but they are not discarded once revealed. Instead, they remain in front of the player for the duration of the game.\n\nBrewery cards include detailed instructions and sometimes require the player to make choices based on their desired outcome. For example, the \"Blind Taste Test\" Brewery card allows the player to either flip over the top Brewery card in the Brewery deck, which will automatically take effect, or draw one Adjunct ingredient of their choice. The primary goal is to collect ingredients so craft beers can be made, but Brewery cards also allow players to improve their breweries, acquire clientele, and influence events in the game.\n\nWhen a Brewery card is played that allows the player to collect Ingredient tokens, they take the specified number and type of ingredients from the Ingredient token pile. More often than not, the ingredients to be collected will be basic and specialty malts as well as hops. Some Recipe cards require Adjunct ingredients. Adjunct ingredients are special additions that transform an ordinary beer into something extraordinary, but they are also harder to come by. As a general rule, a player can always substitute four Ingredient tokens they would claim from the Ingredient token pile for one Adjunct ingredient of their choice. This is a one-time offer, however, and can only take place during the exact moment the player is taking ingredients. Additionally, any bonus ingredients earned during certain seasons cannot be used to create Adjunct ingredients.\n\nNote: If a player ever runs out of Brewery cards (i.e., plays their last card), their turn automatically ends, and they cannot continue to Step 2 or 3.

Ultimately, the Kings decided to forge ahead with the goaltender who appeared sturdier in his preseason action, believing he would provide the team with higher-quality minutes when Jonathan Quick needs a night off.\n\nLast season, Scrivens posted a 7-9-2 record with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage over 20 games with the Maple Leafs.

In an exclusive on-camera interview with CNN, Gallo-Chasanoff described giving anyone specific questions to ask as \"dishonest,\" adding that the entire incident has left her with a negative outlook on politics.\n\nGallo-Chasanoff, whose story was first reported in the campus newspaper, explained that the situation unfolded simply. After Senator Clinton delivered an energy speech in Newton, Iowa, on November 6, a senior campaign staffer asked if she would like to ask the senator a question. \"I sort of thought about it, and I said, 'Yeah, can I ask how her energy plan compares to the other candidates' energy plans?'\" Gallo-Chasanoff recalled.\n\nAccording to Gallo-Chasanoff, the staffer responded, \"I don't think that's a good idea, because I don't know how familiar she is with their plans.\" The staffer then opened a binder to a page containing about eight questions. \"The top one was planned specifically for a college student,\" she added. \"It said 'college student' in brackets and then the question.\"\n\nThe question at the top of the sheet read: \"As a young person, I'm worried about the long-term effects of global warming. How does your plan combat climate change?\"\n\nAlthough Gallo-Chasanoff said she would have preferred to use her own question, she did not object to asking the campaign's question because she \"likes to be agreeable.\" She added that since she had already told the staffer she would ask the pre-typed question, she \"didn't want to go back on my word.\"\n\nClinton campaign spokesman Mo Elleithee stated, \"This is not acceptable campaign process moving forward. We've taken steps to ensure that it never happens again.\" He noted that Senator Clinton had \"no idea who she was calling on.\"\n\nGallo-Chasanoff expressed some skepticism. \"I don't know whether Hillary knew what my question was going to be, but it seemed like she knew to call on me because there were so many people, and ... I was the only college student in that area,\" she said.\n\nIn a separate statement responding to the campus article, the campaign said, \"On this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Sen. Clinton's energy plan at a forum. ... This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again.\"\n\nGallo-Chasanoff claimed she was not the only person given a question. \"After the event,\" she said, \"I heard another man ... talking about the question he asked, and he said that the campaign had asked him to ask that question.\"\n\nThe man she referenced prefaced his question by noting that it probably had nothing to do with energy, and then asked: \"I wonder what you propose to do to create jobs for the middle-class person, such as here in Newton where we lost Maytag.\"\n\nA Maytag factory in Newton had recently closed, forcing hundreds of people out of their jobs.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1813, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e4926ba739441d47b9b6ea0bd7b16528e6448e80", "raw_chars": 1769, "clean_chars": 1760, "edit_ratio": 0.0683, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "How do you make the object of your affections fall in love with you?

Ukraine seeks firm commitments from the EU, while the EU demands proof that Ukraine has genuinely implemented necessary reforms. During a joint summit in Kiev on April 27th, EU officials rebuffed Ukraine’s requests for a peacekeeping force in the Donbas region, additional military aid, and visa-free travel. Although Western financial assistance is gradually increasing, Ukraine desires more substantial support. \"Greece already received $300 billion, with no war, with no Russian tanks,\" Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the Ukrainian prime minister, remarked after the summit, noting that Ukraine had received only one-tenth of that amount.\n\nThe EU maintains that aid will follow once reforms are implemented. \"You keep reforming, we keep supporting,\" stated European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. European leaders insist that Ukraine must implement its new laws and decentralize governance, as outlined in the Minsk peace agreement. There are concerns that failure to do so could encourage Russia to restart the war. Violence is already escalating near the rebel-held capital of Donetsk and the Ukrainian-controlled port city of Mariupol.\n\nUkrainian President Petro Poroshenko disputes claims that reforms are stalling. Lawmakers recently passed legislation to dismantle gas monopolies, increase competition in the energy sector, and unbundle the state gas conglomerate Naftogaz, which has been a significant fiscal burden. Last month, Mr. Poroshenko appointed a head for the newly established National Anti-Corruption Bureau.\n\nHowever, the most significant challenge remains the struggle against Ukraine's oligarchs. The latest confrontation involves the state and the country's wealthiest individual, Rinat Akhmetov. The government aims to end Mr. Akhmetov's coal and electricity monopolies and may allow his holding company, DTEK, to go bankrupt. Coal miners have protested in Kiev, banging their helmets and demanding the energy minister's resignation. Mustafa Nayyem, a reformist legislator, published leaked documents allegedly issued by DTEK that outlined plans to orchestrate protests. DTEK stated it \"did not know the source of the documents\" but did not deny their authenticity.\n\nFollowing the miners' march, Mr. Poroshenko vowed that those who pressure the state \"will get their knuckles rapped.\" In a column for The Guardian, he boasted about bringing down Ihor Kolomoisky, an oligarch forced to resign as a regional governor last month after deploying armed guards to protect his oil assets from government reforms. However, Europe does not want de-oligarchization to become a game of whack-a-mole led by Mr. Poroshenko, who is himself an oligarch.

A player's turn sequence is straightforward, and the choices available are limited to what is on the table and in their hand. Players are not in direct conflict with one another; instead, the game focuses on completing recipes as quickly and efficiently as possible. In some ways, this card game has a very Euro-game feel, but it lacks the long turns and complex choices that can weigh down inexperienced players. This should automatically appeal to the Gamer Geeks as a light game worth playing at their table. For the Parent Geeks, the gameplay appears very casual, and the length of a game depends on how well players perform rather than a set number of rounds. And don't even get me started on how well this game will be received by gamers who are also beer enthusiasts.\n\nFor the Child Geeks? While I do think the game will be easy for them to learn, I have some reservations about introducing it to them. The game is all about creating beer, but it also involves drinking it. I have reviewed other games in the past, such as Viticulture, where alcohol or the production of alcohol was the theme. However, those games never included the actual drinking of alcohol. I do not want to associate alcohol and fun with very impressionable, not to mention young, little geeks. There will be a time and a place for such things, but not now. After doing a lot of thinking and discussion with others, I decided that the best course of action was to follow my gut and not put Pint Craft in front of the Child Geeks. I will let you, the Parent Geeks, decide for yourself if the game is appropriate. For the record, none of the other Parent Geeks we tested the game with wanted to play it with their children, either.\n\nFor those who did get a chance to play the game (all 21 and over), teaching it to them was very straightforward and simple. More time was spent with the non-gamers, of course, but the game is based on the actions the cards suggest and collecting ingredients to use for recipes. The recipes are out in the open, and all the player needs to do is collect those ingredients before the other players do. As far as choices go, the player need only look at their hand and make the best choice based on what they have available. Broken down and pitched in this fashion, no one was confused or stressed about what the game was about or how it was to be played. And so, while I set the game up for our first play session, I asked the table their thoughts on the game so far.\n\n\"A neat and easy-looking card game that will teach me about beer at the same time.\" ~ Parent Geek\n\n\"This looks like a Euro-game, but with a distinct American feel.\" ~ Parent Geek\n\n\"Reads light and looks light, but I can already see how I'm going to be interested in the gameplay.\" ~ Gamer Geek", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1793, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "b40f1c489ec89b90563382ad7baa17cbc46b1638", "raw_chars": 3486, "clean_chars": 3414, "edit_ratio": 0.7412, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The first step in building a solid foundation is also one of the easiest for a fledgling designer to overlook. Skipping this step means building the entire house wrong. You must figure out what questions to ask. When you first start game design, you likely won't know all the right questions, but there is plenty of rhetoric available to help guide you. Who is your intended audience? What sort of experiences do they enjoy, and does that align with the experience you envision? What is the optimal number of players and game duration to facilitate that experience? What sort of intellectual property or thematics pair well with this experience or appeal to the intended audience? What are the component costs of your game? If you are trying to make a game a commercial entity, make sure you consider production costs.\n\nOnce you have asked the right questions and established clear goals, you will need to play-test and analyze your results to determine if your goals are being met. Then, you must make changes to your rules to get closer to fulfilling those goals. This process is deeply tied to game development, which is highly scientific, but we will not cover it here because it would require an entire article on its own. Perhaps another time.\n\nOne of the reasons to mock up and play-test your game is that you may discover that what actually makes it fun is not what you anticipated. Perhaps you thought the key emphasis should be the creative satisfaction of building a deck, but it turned out that what players are really latching onto and finding unique in your game is the relatively high variance of the hand they draw. In that case, you might center the card file more around celebrating explosive moments and less around crafting a strategy.\n\nOne final tidbit: I find that Excel is a particularly great tool for mocking up board games and for learning to think structurally. Also, at least a little bit of math is inevitable for much of the realm of game design. In fact, Excel is the only piece of software that I have sentimental feelings for.\n\nSELF: KNOWING YOURSELF, KNOWING OTHERS, ALWAYS GROWING\n\nYou cannot simply try to make great art and do great science; you must strive to become a great artist and a great scientist. This means there is more to game design than turning thoughts into ideas and game components. The parts of your mind that drive these core actions of game design must be nurtured independently in order to optimally carry out their function.\n\nLet me talk about a few of the attributes that prime your mind for good game design:\n\nOpen Mind, Open Heart\n\nEven the most able-minded and scientifically skilled individual must come to realize that game design is a craft that deals with the application of intellectually constructed concepts that are learnable. Like any other craft, you do not know all of these concepts and perspectives when you first start making games. These perspectives may be widely known, commonly accepted, uncommonly accepted, specific to a given genre of game, or applicable across all gaming experiences. Just the realization that there is surely a ton of useful stuff for you to learn will propel you ahead of most amateur game designers. Following up and actually trying to learn it will take you even further. There is so much good rhetoric, much of it freely available online, by master-level game designers from popular games or game companies.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1814, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e2af0dee5fdf9e8fe87c0eb7395f6c13cb807715", "raw_chars": 3283, "clean_chars": 3210, "edit_ratio": 0.4988, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "From nowhere, they appear as a sudden surge of power in the radio spectrum. Then, a few milliseconds later, they are gone, and as far as we could tell, they never come back. They have been named \"fast radio bursts,\" but nobody is entirely sure what produces them. Follow-up observations have generally failed to find anything interesting in their direction, and the bursts did not seem to repeat, leaving everyone who cares about these sorts of things a bit mystified.\n\nOne possible explanation for their one-time-only appearance is that they are the product of a process that destroys the object that creates them. Thus, if they were produced by the collapse of a neutron star into a black hole, there would be no way for that to happen twice.\n\nBut a new study suggests that at least one of them has repeated, which would take cataclysmic explanations off the table. There are enough differences between this burst and previously observed ones, however, to raise the question of whether there might be several processes producing similar surges in radio emissions.\n\nThe burst in question, known as FRB 121102, was identified using the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. There was nothing especially unusual about it, but the authors scheduled it for follow-up observations. Some of these turned up nothing, but others turned up several bursts, sometimes within hours of each other. All told, they saw ten additional bursts over the course of two months. These had different brightnesses, and different intensity peaks showed up at different wavelengths, suggesting a somewhat chaotic process.\n\nLooking through the timing data, the authors found no indication of a periodic process, which makes some sort of orbital behavior unlikely; the quick repetition in some cases also makes an orbital phenomenon unlikely. As the authors put it, \"Repeat bursts rule out models involving cataclysmic events.\"\n\nSo what is still on the table? Neutron stars with intense magnetic fields, called magnetars, can create giant flares. But none of the ones we know about have produced more than a single flare. The authors suspect it might be a pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star, where sporadically, one of the normal pulses is greatly amplified. This sort of behavior has been seen in at least some neutron stars in our galaxy.\n\nConfusing matters further is the question of whether FRB 121102 is a typical fast radio burster. The other ones we know about are more intense by about a factor of ten, and they appear to originate outside our galaxy. Based on the direction it is coming from, however, the authors suggest there is a chance that FRB 121102 comes from an object inside our galaxy. Finally, there is the issue of instrumentation. Most fast radio bursts have been spotted by Australia's Parkes telescope, which is not as sensitive as Arecibo and would not have identified most of the bursts emitted by FRB 121102.\n\nSo, rather than definitively ruling out a destructive cause for fast radio bursts, the best that this paper can do is indicate that at least some of them leave their source intact. Which, given how little we knew about these previously, represents progress.\n\nNature, 2015.

Since pubs are typically located in the heart of streets and communities, this gives supermarkets a significant advantage over local suppliers. Furthermore, because they do not need to apply for planning permission, local communities are powerless to stop large businesses from moving in, replacing quaint local drinking establishments, and undercutting competitors with low-cost, inferior products.\n\nSince they cannot be legally stopped, pub owners have had to petition the government directly.

Something will be missing if you use a different fuel source, but if you have never eaten food from a wood burner, you won’t notice. You have to almost taste them side-by-side to tell, as it is a very subtle difference. Propane produces less smoke, more water vapor, and more carbon monoxide, which inhibits the absorption of the smokey nuances. The food will still taste great, just not the same as in a wood-burner.

Rig counts have hit new lows each week. For the week ending on April 17, Baker Hughes reported that the U.S. lost an additional 34 oil and gas rigs, bringing the total down to 954. Domestic crude oil production appears to have plateaued, and the EIA expects a contraction in May. Nearly every driller is dramatically scaling back spending, which should increasingly cut into new output. Meanwhile, oil consumption is finally picking up as drivers far and wide take advantage of cheap fuel.\n\nBut what if the bust is not over yet? Despite the signs of a rebound, ExxonMobil’s CEO Rex Tillerson holds a much more bearish view on oil prices. Speaking at the IHS CeraWeek conference in Houston, Tillerson predicted that oil prices would remain subdued for the next several years.\n\nWhile the longer-term outlook is harder to predict, there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that oil prices may not rise much higher than their current levels in the short term. For one, crude oil inventories continue to build. Although the stock build has slowed in recent weeks, it remains dramatically higher than the five-year average. Until production slows to the point that consumers are drawing down inventories faster than they can be replaced, oil prices have little room to rise.\n\nAnother significant factor that could limit any further increases in oil prices is the enormous backlog of wells awaiting completion. Since most of the value of oil and gas coming out of shale occurs in the first few months of production, drillers are avoiding completing hundreds of wells because selling into the current low-price environment would earn them significantly less cash than if they wait until prices rise again. As a result, there is a vast collection of shale wells that will be completed once oil prices increase—an estimated 900 in North Dakota alone—which could bring a flood of new production online. The effect on prices is debatable, but the CEO of ConocoPhillips thinks it could send oil prices down once again.\n\n“If you get a price signal, you’ll see more supply come on,” ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance said at CeraWeek. “That certainly has the opportunity to exacerbate the problem depending on where demand is.” He went on to add, “If $80 to $90 per barrel comes back, there’s a good chance that $50 to $60 comes back as well because of all the new oil that will come online from completed wells. Boom, bust, boom, bust.”\n\nMoreover, the industry is seeing substantial declines in drilling costs. When oil prices are high, costs to drill rise as demand for equipment, rigs, and other oil field services increases. But, just as high oil prices can be inflationary on costs, an oil bust has a corresponding deflationary effect on costs.

At some point, someone obviously left a piece of fish, or meat too close to the fire, and instead of just drying it, it became smoked, and one of life’s great pleasures was born. Every primitive culture that has ever existed has smoked meat. The ancient Carib tribes of the Caribbean went one step further, and invented a special smoking technique that led to the invention of barbecue: Barbacoa. It originated centuries ago in Barbados, a Caribbean island. The word “barbados” comes from “Los Barbadoes” that means “the ones with beards”. It was given by the Portuguese explorers that arrived on the island on the 16th century, because of the big bearded fig plants that covered the islands.\n\nSince then, we have learned how to smoke just about everything from vegetables, and cheeses, to sausages, bacon, and hams.\n\nIt is widely believed the West Indies native Taino people, a subgroup of the South American Arawaks, first used green, fire-resistant bearded fig branches for cooking. They marinated foods in tropical herbs and spices to enhance natural flavors and preserve them after cooking. The Tainos called their preparations “barabicu,” or “sacred firepit,” that over time became “barbecue.” These cooking methods were superb at keeping their foods from prematurely spoiling.\n\nNo other technology or knowledge was ever shared as freely, and as rapidly as the art of smoking.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1834, "chunk_idx": 9, "raw_sha1": "462e1198d6288a3f115bf6bf89e0090cc10deb9b", "raw_chars": 3270, "clean_chars": 3192, "edit_ratio": 0.0802, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Most reviews give this series a resounding 5 out of 5 straight across the board. The price is fair, and this smoker is a bargain in anyone’s book.\n\n2. Napoleon Apollo AS300K 3-in-1 Smoker\n\nNapoleon is a Canadian company that specializes in the manufacture of wood and gas fireplaces, inserts, heating systems, smokers, and grills. They have been in business since 1976. We rated their Apollo AS300K #2 for several reasons. First, Napoleon has been in business for a much shorter time than Weber. Weber only makes smokers, grills, and accessories, whereas for Napoleon, it seems more of a sideline.\n\nThe Apollo AS300K, a vertical wood/charcoal smoker/grill similar to Weber’s Smokey Mountain Series, is a great example of the fact that there are many possible solutions for any single problem, in this case, how to stack grates to hold more food for smoking. Weber uses retaining tabs set at different levels. Napoleon decided to go with a modular approach. The basic unit is simply a kettle grill. By adding one or more of the modular sections, attached with metal clips, it converts to a smoker of two possible cooking volumes. Great idea, in theory at least. More about that later. It is made from steel sheet, but much thinner sheets than the Weber. But it does have something the Weber doesn’t: five meat hooks in the lid to hang pieces of meat for smoking. Other features include multi-vents for temperature control, cooking grates with each section containing a 20-inch cooking grate, and temperature eyelet holes at each level for inserting a thermometer probe. Dimensions with all three sections are 20 x 20 x 47 inches. Weight, when fully assembled, is less than 30 pounds.\n\nFirst, the good. The Apollo’s modular design lends itself to a lot of situations, from a tail-gate hibachi to a full-size smoker. The meat hooks add to its versatility. The temperature probe holes let you check the temperature at different levels.\n\nNow, the bad. Compared to the Weber, there are construction issues. While fully functional, the quality of construction is considerably below that of the Weber. The riveting appears a little sloppy in places. The steel is much thinner. The vent doors are made more cheaply. The handles are cheaply made, but since they are bolted on, they could be upgraded. Heat leaks out between the sections because the metal clips do not make an airtight seal, and since they are riveted, replacement would be difficult, if not impossible. Heat also leaks out from the vent doors. All of the welded seams seem a little sloppy. There is no heat shield, so you will have to be very careful where you set the unit to use it. And lastly, it does not come with a cover. One can be purchased separately for around $30.00. However, when I tested the cover, water came in around the mesh bottom and pooled in the fire bowl. This would eventually rust out the bottom, so the unit must be stored indoors, even with the cover. These reasons are probably why the unit is only warranted for one year, versus the Weber’s 10-year warranty. Also, when I tested the thermometer in the cover (by putting the probe in boiling water—at my elevation, water boils at 205°F), it was off by 25°F.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1834, "chunk_idx": 27, "raw_sha1": "d1115fd6404f31c39660cd5e58b4fb58318a74a1", "raw_chars": 3199, "clean_chars": 2712, "edit_ratio": 0.6833, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "They are usually cheap and inaccurate. On an offset smoker, the next step is to plug the thermometer hole with Master Bond EP21NDFG Sealant. You need to be able to monitor the temperature at both ends of the smoker, so buy two new, accurate thermometers. Next, drill two holes in the front facing of the smoker, about eight inches from each end. Make the holes just big enough to screw the new thermometers through them. If the holes are too big, you will have leakage. Install the thermometers, and you will now have an accurate temperature reading on both ends of the smoker.\n\nIf your smoker gets significantly hotter near the firebox than at the far end, you need to install a deflector, convection plate, or a reverse-flow duct. There are several easy ways to do this. You can make a deflector plate that channels the heat and smoke under the food by cutting a flat metal panel to size, then attaching it at a downward angle above the opening from the firebox to the bottom of the main chamber. This forces the heat and smoke to flow under the food before going out the chimney. I have made these successfully from an old aluminum cookie sheet, attaching it with small self-starting set screws.\n\nYou can also easily make a \"poor man's\" reverse-flow duct system in your smoker by using the above method to fashion and attach a deflector plate, then covering the grate with aluminum foil and punching many small holes in it. This forces the smoke under the grate. As the smoke and heat rise at the far end, the top is cooler than the bottom, forcing the heat and smoke to travel back towards the firebox. It involves complicated physics, but it works. The smoke then rises towards the cooler air at the top, travels across, and exits out the chimney. You can also fashion a duct system by cutting old cookie sheets to the correct width, bending them to shape, and attaching them with small set screws.\n\nYou can improve the circulation further by extending the chimney down further into the main chamber, forcing the heat and smoke to flow closer to the food. All you need is some aluminum flashing, available at just about any hardware store. Just roll it up and insert it in the chimney from below. Heat the grill up and let the aluminum expand to fill the chimney. Once it has expanded, grab the bottom end with pliers and pull it down four or five inches. Make sure the top does not extend beyond the top of the chimney, or it will interfere with the chimney vent. If the flashing won't pull down below the chimney top, just cut it off flush.\n\nAdding a water or drip pan is easy. Just use a disposable aluminum pan, fill it with water, and set it on the grate in the firebox, right above the charcoal grate.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1845, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "dfa6659aec23dac936548d418f2486fbdc412265", "raw_chars": 1773, "clean_chars": 1846, "edit_ratio": 0.8585, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The linker's primary role is to combine multiple object files, typically with a .o extension, into a single binary executable. This process involves not only the object files generated by the compiler from your source code but also pre-compiled object files bundled into libraries. These libraries usually have filenames ending in .a or .so. In most cases, you do not need to worry about these files, as the linker automatically locates and links them as needed.\n\nSimilar to the preprocessor, the linker is a distinct program known as ld. Just like the preprocessor, it is invoked automatically when you use the compiler. The standard method for invoking the linker is demonstrated by the following command:\n\ngcc foo.o bar.o baz.o -o myprog\n\nThis command instructs the compiler to link three object files—foo.o, bar.o, and baz.o—into a binary executable named myprog. Once created, you can run the myprog file, which should hopefully perform some useful or interesting tasks.\n\nUnderstanding this basic linking process is sufficient to begin compiling your own C programs. However, it is generally recommended to use the -Wall command-line option to enable warnings:\n\ngcc -Wall -c foo.cc\n\nThe -Wall option prompts the compiler to alert you to legal but questionable code constructs, helping you identify and fix bugs early in the development process. If you prefer a stricter approach, you can use additional flags:\n\ngcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -ansi -pedantic -c foo.cc\n\nThe -Wstrict-prototypes flag warns you if you have not provided correct prototypes for all your functions.

Knowing how women are socialised into fandom is valuable information from a sports marketing and promotion perspective. In a rapidly changing, globalised sporting arena driven by the commercial concerns of media broadcasting, corporate sponsorship, and sports betting, women represent a lucrative consumer cohort.\n\nOur findings show that parents, friends, partners, and the media are all avenues to recruit women to football spectating. But the scenarios presented here go beyond catering to corporate strategies to sell more club memberships, merchandise, or media. Greater knowledge about how women become fans may precipitate changes in how sporting associations, sports media, and wider society value women's relationships to sport.\n\nOur research debunks a couple of persistent myths about women sport fans. These myths concern women's motivation for attending football, which is commonly explained in terms of their duties as mothers—women support football because it is a \"family\" game—or dismissed as something that women do mainly because the men in their life are into footy. These assumptions about why women follow football reinforce some particularly stubborn gender stereotypes. These stereotypes include the belief that men are authentic and more devoted sport fans whose knowledge and understanding of sport is better than women's. The other related idea is that women only go to the football to stare at guys in tight shorts. Of all the fans we interviewed, this is the least likely way that women become supporters.\n\nOur study also reveals that while family features significantly in the way women become fans—overwhelmingly women are socialised into following a team through their parents—they develop a connection with and enjoyment of AFL that prevails independently of family. And while some of the women we talked to were unashamed to say that they appreciate hot bodies, many more rejected this stance.

This journey began in the summer of 1985 and is about to conclude in the next couple of months. I have been withdrawing from medications for the past six years.\n\nNothing ever truly \"worked,\" and in retrospect, much of it made me worse. This realization prompted the withdrawal process that began six years ago, which I am now nearing the end of.\n\nThe reason these treatments failed is that after an illicit drug-induced mania, I was left with average life problems to deal with. Once I started on psychiatric drugs, the issues became drug-induced symptoms—iatrogenic psychiatric and other symptoms. My diagnosis, given to me as a life sentence, never really had much credibility.\n\nDuring the \"trials\" of these drugs, I often went through periods of at least two weeks. My doctor always told me to stick it out, suggesting the side effects might pass. They generally didn't pass, but sometimes I got used to them, much like the proverbial toad in water.\n\nThe cocktail I ended up with after much experimentation left me the least twisted, but still grossly twisted nonetheless. In retrospect, I can see how one drug led to the next. The \"mood stabilizers,\" which left me depressed, led to antidepressants, which left me with insomnia and agitation. That led to benzodiazepines for sleep. They still didn't get rid of the agitation, which led me to antipsychotics. These made everything worse. In fact, my doctor kept adding Risperdal milligram by milligram until I was on 11 mg for my akathisia, which I now know is caused by the Risperdal. He was treating my symptom with the drug that was causing the symptom! No joke. My akathisia ceased when I finally got off the Risperdal. We always called it \"anxiety.\" What crap.\n\nAll that left me so sedated that the next step was stimulants. The addiction to benzodiazepines left me in tolerance withdrawal, which increased the anxiety and thus led to more benzodiazepines. Unfortunately, I've learned this happens to way too many people, some of whom never even realize it. Drugs leading to more drugs leading to more drugs. Once in the trap, it's almost impossible to see clearly. To realize what is going on is difficult and perhaps sometimes impossible.\n\nNow I'm virtually done with my withdrawal from the final cocktail of six medications that I was on for about ten years, after messing around with many others. My psychiatric symptoms are all gone except for irritability, which I have gleaned is most assuredly a withdrawal issue and not an underlying problem. I've been working on the underlying problems all along during this journey, though life remains an underlying problem, doesn't it? Being human is challenging and will never cease to be.

The protests were sparked by the Lindt Cafe Siege in Sydney's Martin Place the previous December. During the 16-hour standoff, self-styled sheik Man Haron Monis held 17 people hostage. The siege ended with the deaths of two hostages and Monis himself. The event prompted intense media commentary, including remarks from Channel 7's Mike Amor, who described the siege as a wake-up call for Australians, emphasizing that they are now as vulnerable to such threats as anyone in the world, with such violence occurring in the heart of Sydney just as it had in New York and other global cities.\n\nAndy Fleming, speaking under a pseudonym to protect his identity, notes that the Lindt Cafe siege is a pivotal moment for the Reclaim Australia movement. He observes that many people view the event as evidence that Islam is a poisonous and murderous ideology, leading to a growing need to take a stand against it. Fleming, an activist who has spent the last ten years disrupting far-right groups through his blog and organizing counter-rallies, fears for his safety as these groups have attempted to hunt him down. He claims that movements like the Australian Defence League, a violent street group, had been mobilizing for years without significant success until recently.\n\nFleming highlights that the April 4 demonstrations attracted thousands of participants who were part of an online network of concern. He believes this online community is now transitioning into a physical movement that takes to the streets. El-Khoury adds that the online world has become the primary domain for extremist groups. In the past, the far-right relied on printing leaflets and struggling to gather enough people for rallies. However, the rise of social media has allowed them to narrowcast their views and reach thousands of like-minded individuals both in Australia and overseas. The internet has provided extremists with a platform to build a sense of community outside the real world, where hate can flourish with little risk of reprisal.\n\nAndre Oboler points out that hate groups often publish photographs, names, addresses, and other personal details of individuals from the Muslim community, accompanied by vague comments suggesting that \"someone should do something about this person.\" These posts sometimes include accusations, such as claiming the individual supports ISIS, thereby inciting potential violence against them.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1870, "chunk_idx": 9, "raw_sha1": "4652b82840578f53d062c3a7d0d47b3ed036abfa", "raw_chars": 3372, "clean_chars": 3460, "edit_ratio": 0.5708, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Mariam Veiszadeh notes that, looking back on nearly twelve months of data, there appears to be a correlation between media coverage, government rhetoric, and the treatment of Muslims or those perceived as Muslim on the streets.

Reker said a discussion on installing further cameras would form part of her emergency talks.\n\nOne of the victims, identified only as Katja L, told the Kölner Express: “When we came out of the station, we were very surprised by the group we met, which was made up only of foreign men … We walked through the group of men, there was a tunnel through them, we walked through … I was groped everywhere.

To secure victory, a candidate needed to reach 270 electoral votes. Major U.S. networks projected Obama's win even before results from key battleground states like Florida, Virginia, and Nevada were finalized.\n\nEarly in the night, Obama secured much of the traditionally Democratic Northeast, including Pennsylvania, while Romney consolidated the conservative base across states such as Texas and Georgia. However, the president ultimately sealed his victory with wins in Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado. These were four of the nine battleground states where the two campaigns and their allies spent nearly $1 billion on competing television commercials.\n\nLate Tuesday night, Romney reportedly called Obama to concede the election before addressing a crowd of supporters at his campaign headquarters in Boston. \"This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation,\" Romney said in a brief speech. He added, \"The nation as you know is at a critical point. At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering and political posturing.

Several NASCAR owners have stated they would not condone drivers or staff taking part in the protests. Richard Petty, who co-owns Richard Petty Motorsports, told the Associated Press that anyone who refuses to stand for the national anthem should be forced to leave the country. \"Anybody that don't stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period. What got 'em where they're at? The United States,\" Petty said.\n\nThose sentiments were echoed by another owner, Richard Childress, who said any protests from his team members would \"get you a ride on a Greyhound bus.\" \"Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people gave their lives for it. This is America,\" Childress said.\n\nOwner Andy Murstein also condemned the protesters but took a more conciliatory stance. When asked what he would do with an employee who takes a knee, Murstein told ESPN, \"I would sit down with them and say it's the wrong thing to do that and many people, including myself, view it as an affront to our great country.\" He added, \"If there is disenchantment towards the president or a few bad law enforcement officers, don't have it cross over to all that is still good and right about our country.\"\n\nThere was one notable exception to this prevailing attitude, however, with driver and team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. backing the right of all Americans to peaceful protest by quoting John F. Kennedy on Twitter. \"All Americans are granted rights to peaceful protests. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable,\" Earnhardt tweeted, sharing a quote from JFK.\n\nTrump tweeted his appreciation for the stance of most involved with NASCAR on Monday morning, saying he is \"so proud\" of the sporting organization and its fans. \"So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans.

The event took place at Kualoa Ranch on the island of O'ahu in Hawaii, a spectacular setting that has served as the famous backdrop for \"Jurassic Park\" and many other films. The epic volcanic cliffs encircling the race course created a dramatic and fitting atmosphere for the competition.\n\nEntering the racers' village, the international nature of the event was immediately apparent; it was reminiscent of an Olympic village, albeit on a much smaller budget. \"The Worlds were designed to be very much like an Olympic style event,\" said Scot Resfland, chairman of the Drone Sports Association, the umbrella organization behind the Drone Worlds.\n\nOver 180 pilots representing more than 30 countries attended, highlighting how much FPV drone racing has grown globally since it was first featured in mid-2015. As expected, the largest national representation came from countries closest to the site. The USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and China all supplied numerous pilots, spotters, and support infrastructure, but more distant countries were also represented. Denmark, Hungary, and Poland managed to send pilots to compete, while France and Ukraine showcased sizeable squads. The UK was unfortunately underrepresented, with only one UK pilot present—Matthew Evans—despite other eligible pilots like Chi Lau, James Bowles, Brett Collis, Gary \"Justice FPV\" Kent, and current Drone Prix champion Luke Bannister being available. However, there was no shortage of big names to entertain the crowds, including Shaun \"Nytfury\" Taylor, Minchan Kim, Brian \"BrainDrain\" Morris, and Mac Poschwald.\n\nCompetition began with the Aloha Cup, a paid entry competition that served as the final qualifier event for the Drone Worlds. This was followed by seeding events for the freestyle, individual, and wing competitions. There was also an international competition pitting the USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Korea, Australia, and Russia against one another in a series of five point-scoring races. Ultimately, the USA won, with Korea taking second place and Team UK—known in the village as Team Brexit—managing a respectable third.\n\nThe final two days, Friday and Saturday, were set aside for the remaining pilots to battle it out for the top prizes in each category and ultimately for the title of individual Drone Worlds champion.\n\nBut it was the Drone Worlds individual challenge that captured the competitive heart of the FPV drone racing community.

Sixteen people were killed, including an older couple and their 25-year-old daughter, who was stabbed in the head with a knife and had her breasts sliced off. Her 2-year-old son survived, but three of his fingers were chopped off. A neighbor who witnessed the massacre was shot in the leg as she tried to escape. What prompted the rampage? The police suspected the villagers of sympathizing with Maoist insurgents, believing that some were informants. A criminal case has been filed by the survivors against the state.\n\nBusiness as usual in this part of the world. The Indian government is trying to exterminate Maoists, known as Naxalites, and since 2004 has killed 1,300 of them; trapped in the crossfire, 2,900 villagers have also died.\n\nThe Naxalites have claimed their share of victims, too. A few months before the Gompad attack, Vimal Meshram, a village head, was gunned down by Maoists in a market in the same district (Bastar). His crime: He was an outspoken supporter of a plant that Tata Steel, one of India's leading companies, has been trying to build for the past five years. He is one of 1,650 or more people—villagers, police, and police-backed vigilantes—who have been killed by Maoists, just in this district. In the bloodiest attack yet, 80 or more paramilitary troops were killed in early April as they tried to flush out Maoist rebels in the forests of Dantewada in Chhattisgarh.\n\nThis is India's dirty war: a brutal struggle over valuable real estate that pits the Naxalites against some of the nation's most powerful commercial interests. What began 43 years ago as a small but violent peasant insurrection in Naxalbari, a West Bengal village, is now a full-fledged conflict led by the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) across 20 of the country's 28 states, affecting 223 districts. The fight is over land, much of it in the interior, that has rich deposits of coal and bauxite. On one side of the struggle are the rebels—perhaps 10,000 of them armed and out in the field every day, and a militia of 100,000 who can be called up on short notice. Driven by a violent ideology, the Naxalites claim to be fighting for the land rights of the poor, especially farmers and small indigenous tribes who know only an agrarian way of life. On the other side are the wealthy families behind Tata Steel, Jindal Steel & Power, and Vedanta Resources (run by mining mogul Anil Agarwal), who want to develop the untapped resources. (The three companies rank 345, 1,131, and 923 on the Global 2000 list.) Caught in the middle of the conflict between Maoists and billionaires are thousands of villagers.\n\nIn principle, there ought to be an economic answer to the economic question of whether a steel mill is a better use of land than a farm. If the mill is so valuable, why can't its owner offer the peasants an irresistible sum to leave?

They were held for the entire day and released only after they signed a letter promising not to return. \"We told them this is a warning--come back at your own risk,\" says Sahoo, who has 37 police cases against him for his resistance and has served 10 and a half months in prison on charges that include attempted murder and kidnapping. There are 150 or so cases against the villagers and warrants for 642 others hiding there. \"If the state will create violence, retaliation is a must,\" says Sahoo.\n\nThe land belongs to the government, says a Posco spokesperson. Villagers, he adds, have encroached on it for at least a couple of generations. \"India is in grave danger of losing the development race against China,\" he says. \"India produces a twelfth of China's steel and wants to double this in the next two years but can't do that without such megaprojects.\"\n\nOn the western side of Orissa there is push-back against Vedanta Resources. Run by mining tycoon Anil Agarwal (number 113 among the FORBES billionaires, with an estimated fortune of $6.4 billion), Vedanta is trying to mine bauxite from the Niyamgiri Hills to produce aluminum. For generations the Dongria Kondh, an indigenous tribe of 8,000, has been living off the bounty of the thick forests--home to tigers, barking deer, elephants and bison, as well as to hardwoods like the flowering sal trees. The region also holds an estimated 2 billion tons of bauxite along a 300-mile belt. Mukesh Kumar, Vedanta Aluminum's chief operating officer, says the mining and land lease is with the state-owned Orissa Mining Corp., which plans to acquire just 1,800 acres of Niyamgiri and intends to mine only half of that. Because of tribal opposition, though, Vedanta has been able to build only an aluminum refinery nearby. Profits are minimal because it must import bauxite from other regions.\n\nThe refinery's emissions, along with the waste-disposal pond, may well be making life hazardous for residents. Last year villagers say nine people died of complications from tuberculosis and bronchitis; the government admits to only one. Kumar says the state is aware of the health problems and is investigating. In February Amnesty International issued a damning report on the refinery and the proposed mine--harsh enough that the Church of England and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust sold their $5.7 million and $2.9 million investments, respectively, in Vedanta. \"Local NGOs are anti-industry and instigating people,\" Kumar fumes. \"This is not an agitation against a project but a movement against industry in Orissa.\"\n\nThat may be. The Dongrias still come to sell their wares at a weekly market in the heart of the forest, bearing lentils, rice, dried fish, tobacco, potatoes, ginger, turmeric and bananas. \"Other than salt I get everything from these hills,\" says Ranga, a tribal member, through a translator.

Eastman and Laird found themselves managing an international merchandising juggernaut, overseeing a wide array of licensing deals. This administrative burden prevented the two creators from participating in the day-to-day work of writing and illustrating a monthly comic book. Consequently, many guest artists were invited to showcase their unique talents within the TMNT universe. The breadth of diversity found in these various short stories had the adverse effect of somewhat disrupting continuity, giving the series a disjointed, anthology-like feel. Some of these artists, including Michael Dooney, Eric Talbot, A.C. Farley, Ryan Brown, Steve Lavigne, Steve Murphy, and Jim Lawson, continued to work with Mirage Studios for years to come.\n\nIssue #45 marked a major turning point, as Mirage made a concerted effort to return the series to continuity. A 13-part story arc entitled \"City at War\" began with issue #50, which was the first issue to be completely written and illustrated by both Eastman and Laird since issue #11. Both \"City at War\" and Volume 1 concluded with the publication of issue #62 in August 1993.\n\nMirage Studios launched Volume 2 with much fanfare in October 1993 as a full-color series that maintained the continuity of the first volume. Written and illustrated by Jim Lawson, the series lasted only thirteen issues before ceasing publication in October 1995. The cancellation was due to declining popularity and lagging sales, as well as a flood at Mirage Studios.\n\nVolume 3 began in June 1996 with the publication of a third volume under the Image Comics banner. The 23 issues were written by Gary Carlson and drawn by Frank Fosco, marking a return to black-and-white artwork. This volume was notable for its faster pace and more intense action, while also inflicting major physical changes on the Turtles themselves: Leonardo lost a hand, Raphael's face was scarred, Splinter became a bat, and Donatello became a cyborg. In a startling plot twist, Raphael even took on the identity of The Shredder and assumed leadership of the Foot. With Volume 3, the Turtles were incorporated into the Image universe, which provided opportunities for a few crossovers and guest appearances by characters from the Savage Dragon series.\n\nThe series ceased publication in 1999 and was no longer considered part of the \"official\" TMNT canon, in part due to a lack of desire by co-creator Peter Laird to follow up on material with which he was not directly involved nor fully approved. However, Raph's depiction as the Shredder was referenced in an episode of the third season of the 2003 animated series, \"The Darkness Within,\" where Raph was exposed to his fear of giving in to anger and becoming the very thing he hated.\n\nAfter its untimely cancellation, the series remained in publication limbo for nearly two decades, with no reprints or collected volumes. In 2018, IDW Publishing, the company then publishing its own TMNT comic series, announced its intention to reproduce the existing 23 issues in a colored version.

At WonderCon 2011, it was announced that IDW Publishing had secured the rights to publish a new series and reprint the older comics.\n\nAfter conceiving the Turtles' mentor as a rat who had come from Japan and was a ninja master, Eastman and Laird initially considered giving the turtles Japanese names. However, as Laird explained, \"we couldn't think of authentic-sounding Japanese names.\" Instead, they decided to name them after Renaissance artists, picking the four they were most familiar with with the help of Laird's copy of Janson's History of Art.\n\nThe Turtles' origin contained direct allusions to Daredevil. The traffic accident between a blind man and a truck carrying radioactive ooze was a reference to Daredevil's own story; indeed, in the version told in the first issue, Splinter sees the canister strike a boy's face. The name \"Splinter\" also parodied Daredevil's mentor, a man known as \"Stick.\" The Foot, a clan of evil ninjas who became the Turtles' arch-enemies, was likened to the Hand, a mysterious and deadly ninja clan in the pages of Daredevil.\n\nThe concept originated from a comical drawing sketched out by Kevin Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming with his friend Peter Laird. The drawing of a short, squat turtle wearing a mask with nunchakus strapped to its arms was humorous to the young artists, as it played upon the inherent contradiction of a slow, cold-blooded reptile with the speed and agility of Japanese martial arts. Laird suggested that they create a team of four such turtles, each specializing in a different weapon. Eastman and Laird often cited the work of Frank Miller and Jack Kirby as their major artistic influences.\n\nVolume 1: 1984–1993\n\nThe first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was advertised in issues #1 and #2 of Eastman and Laird's 1984 comic, Gobbledygook, in addition to the Comics Buyer's Guide, issue 545. The full-page advertisement in CBG helped gain the attention of retailers and jump-started their early sales. Because of the CBG's newspaper format, many were disposed of, making it a highly sought-after collector's item today. The book premiered in May 1984 at a comic book convention in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It was printed in an oversized, magazine-style format using black and white artwork on cheap newsprint and had a print run of only 3,275 copies. It was a period of intense speculation in comic book investment, with especially strong interest in black and white comics from independent companies. The first printings of the original TMNT comics had small print runs that made them instant collector items. Within months, the books were trading at prices over 50 times their cover price.\n\nThe success also led to a black and white comics boom in the mid-1980s, wherein other small publishers put out animal-based parody books hoping to make a quick profit. Among them were the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, the Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung Fu Kangaroos, the Adult Thermonuclear Samurai Elephants, and the Karate Kreatures, which were obvious parodies of TMNT. Most of them were sold to comic shops in large numbers, but failed to catch on with readers.

But this is not how Sumner understood the idea. \"Fitness,\" for Sumner, was not a normative evaluation but a descriptive claim. To be \"fit\" is not necessarily to be \"better\" or \"more virtuous\" than one who is unfit. All that fitness means, in the evolutionary sense, is adaptation to environment. Thus, in Sumner's \"colorful\" words, \"rattlesnakes may survive where horses perish … or highly cultivated white men may die where Hottentots flourish.\" The fact that a rattlesnake will outlive a horse in a desert doesn't make the rattlesnake morally better than the horse. It just means that the rattlesnake is better adapted to surviving in the desert. That is all.\n\nThus, the survival of the fittest is a constraint within which men and laws must operate, not a goal to be pursued. And it is an inescapable constraint. We could not avoid it if we wanted to. So it is not as though there is anything particularly Darwinist about capitalism, as opposed to other forms of social organization. Switching from a capitalist economy to a socialist one would not render evolutionary pressures defunct. It would only alter the context in which they operate and the effects they produce.\n\nThe real misery of mankind is the struggle for existence; why not \"declare\" that there ought not to be any struggle for existence, and that there shall not be any more? Let it be decreed that existence is a natural right, and let it be secured in that way. If we attempt to execute this plan, it is plain that we shall not abolish the struggle for existence; we shall only bring it about that some men must fight that struggle for others. (\"Some Natural Rights\")\n\nBut there is a second and even more significant problem with the charge of social Darwinism as applied to Sumner: it is the very essence of the system of laissez faire he championed to prohibit the violence and plunder that characterize the Darwinian \"law of the jungle.\" For Sumner, as for his contemporaries Herbert Spencer and Gustave de Molinari, the peaceful economic competition that exists within industrial society is an evolutionary advance from earlier forms of more violent competition. As culture and commerce advance, they tend to ameliorate the effects of the struggle for existence, even going so far as to replace it with a more benign process that Sumner referred to as \"the competition of life.\" That latter process replaces the zero-sum conflict of violence with what Spencer referred to as \"antagonistic cooperation,\" a process distinguished by its in-group cooperation and mutually beneficial exchange.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1946, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "388fdc8be07012f93b5e0a837c776a68bc8b9a97", "raw_chars": 2606, "clean_chars": 2535, "edit_ratio": 0.0698, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In this essay, I will examine the charge of social Darwinism and, more broadly, the nature of Sumner's views on redistribution and our responsibilities toward the poor and vulnerable. I will argue that the charge of social Darwinism, to the extent that it is coherent at all, is mistaken as applied to Sumner. Sumner is a principled libertarian, not a social Darwinist. Moreover, he is a libertarian who took special pains to demonstrate the ways in which a regime of liberty is especially beneficial to society's most vulnerable members. Surprising as it may seem, I will argue, we can find in Sumner's writings the core ideas of a libertarian theory of social justice.\n\nSocial Darwinism\n\nIf the charge of social Darwinism is difficult to decisively refute, this is only because it is difficult to assign any precise, and therefore falsifiable, meaning to the phrase. From its beginning, \"social Darwinism\" was a term people used almost exclusively to describe ideas with which they disagreed. In fact, the expression of disagreement often appears to be the only fixed element of the phrase's meaning. Different people at different times disliked and disagreed with different things, and thus \"social Darwinism\" came to be a shorthand way of referring to ideas as various as racism, militarism, support for eugenics, indifference to the plight of the poor, an excessively biological view of humanity, or support for laissez-faire.\n\nFor Hofstadter and other critics of Spencer and Sumner, however, the core ideas of social Darwinism seem to be that human society is marked by the same sort of \"struggle for existence\" that characterizes the animal world, and that the victors of this struggle emerge according to the rule of \"survival of the fittest.\" Economic competition is one aspect of this struggle, and so a policy of strict laissez-faire is necessary to ensure the fitness of the individuals who constitute society. Interference with laissez-faire, in the form of, say, charitable giving to the weak, would retard the evolutionary pressures leading to greater and greater fitness, and must therefore be opposed. Economic success is an indisputable indicator of virtue and fitness, and economic failure is a telltale sign of vice and unfitness. Might makes right, and the weak may be trodden upon with impunity.\n\nWith respect to Herbert Spencer, the charge of social Darwinism has been addressed and refuted repeatedly by George H. Smith, Thomas C. Leonard, and myself. But does the charge fare any better when applied to Sumner?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1946, "chunk_idx": 25, "raw_sha1": "b3dbfe1aa6454a3882c1829727f88c7188832ed4", "raw_chars": 3339, "clean_chars": 3340, "edit_ratio": 0.0031, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "But the schematic vision of the foresters was too limited to understand the complexity of the forest ecosystem. Vast forests of monoculture trees died off entirely as they failed to receive adequate nutrients from the soil and fell victim to pests and disease. \"An exceptionally complex process involving soil building, nutrient uptake, and symbiotic relations among fungi, insects, mammals, and flora -- which were, and still are, not entirely understood -- was apparently disrupted, with serious consequences.\"\n\nScott's book is much adored by classical liberals, despite the fact that he explicitly denies that it is \"a case for unfettered market coordination as urged by Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.\" But the fact that a relatively progressive liberal like Scott can employ arguments of the same form as those employed by Spencer, Sumner, and Hayek should give us pause. Is Scott simply failing to think through the logical implications of his position? Or do evolutionary arguments simply not do much to make the case for laissez-faire?\n\nHayek himself seems to have been somewhat ambivalent on this point. In The Road to Serfdom, he famously (or infamously, depending on whom you ask) wrote that \"nothing has done so much harm to the liberal cause as the wooden insistence of some liberals on certain rules of thumb, above all the principle of laissez-faire capitalism.\" Elsewhere, however, he seemed to take a kinder attitude toward a certain woodenness, writing that \"a successful defense of freedom must therefore be dogmatic and make no concessions to expediency…\"\n\nFor Sumner, laissez-faire seems to have been a kind of rule of thumb, but nothing more. \"Laissez-faire,\" he wrote, \"is so far from meaning the unrestrained action of nature without any intelligent interference by man, that it really means the only rational application of human intelligence to the assistance of natural development.\" The principle is a maxim, a rule of art, that is useful as a corrective against mankind's natural tendency to over-legislate. But as a maxim, it is not absolute. It does not rule out state interference altogether. Rather, it counsels us to be cautious in interfering -- to approach social problems with a sense of humility, rather than hubris.\n\nArguments of this sort certainly seem to tell against proposals to centrally manage the entire economy, à la state socialism. But how much more weight can contemporary classical liberals really place on them? Do they counsel against state welfare programs? Against clean-air regulations? Socialized medicine?\n\nThe proponent of such legal interventions can grant that the economy is a complex system and that prudence is warranted. But the mere fact that there are problems associated with intervention hardly seems sufficient to demonstrate that the expected costs of intervention will always exceed the expected benefits. (This is a problem with consequentialist arguments for laissez-faire in general.) We can be cautious; we can experiment on a small scale; and we can learn. Scott's own story proves the point. Eighteenth-century Prussian attempts at scientific forest management may have been a bungle, but we've gotten much, much better. Is there some reason to think that the same sort of process isn't possible in the realm of state intervention in the economy?\n\nEndnotes", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 1946, "chunk_idx": 17, "raw_sha1": "e35de12889084ba405f237a304030e281316f519", "raw_chars": 3437, "clean_chars": 3389, "edit_ratio": 0.1705, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Other progressive critics of laissez-faire economics employed similar reasoning to advocate for policies of hereditary design and social control.

I would stress this point even further regarding Sumner, particularly in light of his steadfast defense of laissez-faire.\n\nOne thinker who has largely escaped criticism on the points now starting to be acknowledged in the works of Commons and Ely is John Maynard Keynes. This omission is curious, as Keynes explicitly articulated the tension between the older laissez-faire school and his own social applications of evolutionary-infused eugenic policies. Such positions, Keynes wrote in 1923, provoke distaste because they \"modify the laisser-faire of Nature, and … bring the workings of a fundamental instinct under social control.\" He elaborated on this three years later in his famous essay, \"The End of Laissez-Faire,\" by calling upon governments to establish \"a considered national policy\" on population. Once enacted, he continued, a time would likely come \"when the community as a whole must pay attention to the innate quality as well as to the mere numbers of its future members.\"\n\nOne of the greatest ironies and intellectual tragedies of the social Darwinian slur against Sumner is that it tends to treat eugenics, racial exclusion, immigration restrictions, and similar concepts as intellectual descendants of laissez-faire. Leonard and other scholars have debunked this myth. Furthermore, Zwolinski's highlighting of Sumner's comparative enlightenment on several policy issues—such as his harsh criticisms of state predation by powerful elites and his commitment to anti-imperialism—reminds us how far off base conventional historiography has become. Yet, in probing this subject further, we find ample evidence that the charge against Sumner is not simply erroneous; it is an inversion of truth that assigns to Sumner beliefs that are actually consistent with the strongest critics of his long-championed cause, laissez-faire. Clearly, we still have much work to do.\n\nSumner, 1886, \"Laissez-Faire,\" in On Liberty and Politics: The Essential Essays of William Graham Sumner, Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, pp. 227-233.

As a result, often the boss gets ahead, sends us home early more exhausted then we would be if we took our breaks, and effectively zeros out the wage benefit of working through our breaks. I’m no stranger to the Nickel & Dimed either. It’s a real concern. Nonetheless, the outlook confuses an issue of bodily wellbeing with an economic worry. Why not a paid lunch break?\n\nAt our informal meeting, I shared my personal reasons for needing all of my breaks. My co-workers were sympathetic and shared their own stories and reasons for not taking their breaks, as well. We acknowledged two major obstacles. First, we felt uncomfortable taking all of our breaks while our co-workers kept trudging along through the day. No one wanted to let their co-workers down or seem like they were evading work. We overcame this barrier by making a pact to support and encourage everyone to take their full breaks. The effect this spoken acknowledgment and support had on each of us to decide to take our breaks can not be underestimated.\n\nOur second obstacle involved how busy and overloaded we felt at work. We determined the true reason for us being too busy and overloaded was because management was too cheap to schedule a mid-shift worker. A mid-shifter would allow everyone to take scheduled breaks, provide back-up during busy rushes, and result in a minimal increase in labor cost. Our need for a mid-shifter was an on going issue long before we started talking about breaks. We discussed how by working through our breaks we only bolstered management’s case for not needing a mid-shifter and that if we all took our breaks the need for a mid-shift would become immediately apparent. We overcame this barrier by reaffirming our break rights under the law and committing to support anyone taking their break regardless of how busy or behind on the closing tasks we were.\n\nIn the weeks that followed, I gradually began taking each of my breaks with the full support of my co-workers. I literally felt freed, as though I had taken control of my work day. This instant improvement in my disposition and morale became apparent to both myself and co-workers. Gradually, co-workers’ hesitancy began to evaporate as they too began taking their breaks. Our informal system was so developed that when a new co-worker was hired that month, she too began to take her full breaks. It was unavoidable for workers in other departments and substitutes from other locations to notice our additional breaks, and they soon began asking us about them. Even our manager began taking all the same breaks we did!\n\nWhat we achieved together was a definable job conditioning victory that improved our day-to-day lives, established a new standard for new co-workers, and inspired a feeling of empowerment and confidence that was previously absent. However, there is plenty of work left to do. Not every co-worker takes every one of their breaks every day. Support and encouragement are needed daily to maintain the practice at our workplace.

Ask anyone married to a desi man if she feels like the other woman. One of the standout episodes of Room 104, the new Duplass-helmed HBO series, makes great use of this phenomenon. Titled \"The Internet,\" it is set in 1997. Our only visible character, a harried, wannabe novelist, is locked for nearly the full half-hour in a phone call with his mom. Anish needs his manuscript sent to him, in a bad way. He has a life-changing meeting with an agent coming up, a book to finish, and of course, he forgot his laptop. Actor Karan Soni paces the dinky motel room for which the series is named in a sweat, walking his oblivious mom through the mechanics of email with a growing frustration in his voice that betrays just how deep their relationship is.\n\nFeaturing only Soni and Poorna Jagannathan as his mother, the scene manages to do a lot with a little. From nearly her first line, Jagannathan establishes her character as one we haven't seen rendered so well before: the loving but passive-aggressive, alternately icy, and helicoptering desi mom. Jagannathan's character seems almost at times to be trolling Anish, so hypnotically layered is her cadence. To pull it off, Jagannathan told Vulture by email, she channeled her own, super-sweet mom, as well as her split attitude toward her 11-year-old son. When he talks, there is a part of you that is in wonder and amazement and so much love, and then there is a part that is totally bored and needs to just reach for the wine.\n\nBoth actors were born in India. Soni was born in New Delhi to a middle-class family, while Jagannathan is the daughter of a diplomat. Her accent gives away the upper-crust, Brit-lite India that she belongs to, though her character's origins are notably humble. But that inconsistency doesn't detract from her possession of the role. The Duplasses are known for encouraging improvisation, and she sprinkles her rejoinders with \"beta\" and \"raja\". The latter, meaning prince, is less known than the former, which means son. The episode, not written with Indians in mind, wasn't meant to be a model of representational politics at work. Soni took the part a day before shooting, after the original actor dropped out because of a conflict. Jagannathan came in the day of to fit his casting. Still, their backgrounds infuse the episode with life, from the spirit of the dialogue to the details of its final twist. Vulture spoke with Soni about the odds of this opportunity, his phone calls with his own mom, and why, in terms that reveal a comic anxiety level on par with Anish, he was sure he'd fail at the job.\n\nHow are you doing?\n\nGreat. Can I ask, are you Indian?\n\nHa, yes.\n\nI wasn't sure if the name was just like a New Age thing, or...\n\nWell, my last name is Rao. So that helps. What about you? Were you born in India?\n\nNew Delhi, and I lived there for 18 years. I came out here when I was 18 to go to college, to L.A. My family was planning on moving out, but their green cards took a little longer. They came out when I was a sophomore.\n\nI thought I detected a faint accent in the episode that sounded legit rather than a Hollywood directive.\n\nIt was very thick when I came here.

Natalie Kinzel, who encountered the young calf before it was taken by tourists, told KUTV 2News that she was at the park on May 9 when she witnessed a herd of bison crossing a river. She recorded video on her phone as a small bison calf was swept downstream and left behind by the herd. Although the calf eventually made it out of the water, it was left alone and collapsing. \"It was just heart-wrenching because it was literally collapsing, and there was no buffalo around,\" Kinzel said.

Meanwhile, a citation issued to the tourist who placed the bison calf in his vehicle has provided further insight into the incident. Shamash Kassam, who was visiting from Canada with his son, told officers that the bison was in the middle of the road, wet and shivering, and refused to leave their vehicle for 20 minutes. Kassam said they waited to see if any bison would return for the calf.\n\n\"After 20 minutes they still could not see any bison anywhere in the vicinity, the bison calf would not leave their vehicle, appearing to be seeking warmth from the engine, and Kasaam stated he decided to pick up the bison calf or it would have been road kill,\" the citation states. Kassam then drove to the Buffalo Ranch and contacted law enforcement. The responding officer informed him that his actions were preventing the bison's mother from locating it and could alter the calf's ability to survive in the wild. Kassam stated that he understood his actions were wrong and promised never to pick up or disturb wildlife again, opting instead to wait at the scene and call for help in the future.\n\nThe document notes that a bison herd was near where Kassam had picked up the calf, and the baby was subsequently released. However, park officials stated that the calf was euthanized because it was rejected by the herd. They explained that sending the animal out of the park was not an option.

He has also been cleared of three false misconduct allegations made against him by members of the public.\n\nIn his first interview since he retired from the Met last month, Mr. Settle added: \"Watson was briefed fully on the Jane case by me and was asked to contact me directly if he had any concerns.

Shipments of laptops running Chrome OS increased 67 percent in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the previous quarter, according to market research firm ABI Research.\n\nA big jump like that should be expected, however, when comparing a spring-summer selling period to the back-to-school season. What’s really interesting is that ABI expects Chromebook shipments to double in size for 2014 compared to 2013. ABI also predicts that North America will account for 78 percent of worldwide Chromebook sales for 2014.\n\nWhy this matters: The PC market ain’t what it used to be, but Chromebooks are surging in popularity. Google recently claimed that Chromebooks now account for 50 percent of sales to education institutions in the U.S., according to OMG Chrome. Microsoft has also noticed this trend and went after the growing popularity of Chromebooks during IFA Berlin in September. During the trade show, Windows PC makers—who also happen to be Chromebook makers—announced a bunch of dirt cheap, low-spec Windows laptops to compete with Chrome OS devices.\n\nMore than just a browser in a box\n\nChromebooks started out as devices that were more or less useless without an Internet connection. Since then, however, Chrome OS has morphed into a more powerful platform with offline functionality, a special version of Adobe Photoshop, a growing catalog of desktop-like apps, and deep integration with Android.\n\nAdd to that Google’s popular suite of productivity apps from Gmail to Google Drive and it’s easy to see why Chromebooks are becoming more popular. The fact that they’re very inexpensive and easy-peasy to maintain surely helps as well.\n\nNot content with just Chromebooks, Google is also expanding Chrome OS functionality into other platforms. This is especially true for Windows, where anyone running Windows 8.1 can run Chrome in modern UI mode, where it basically transforms into a Windows-friendly version of Chrome OS.\n\nAllowing people to become comfortable using the Chrome ecosystem within a PC platform they’re already used to could earn Google a few more converts to Chrome OS over time.\n\nBut let’s not be too bullish. It’s still early days for the Chromebook, and fighting Microsoft on its home turf of the PC market rarely turns out well. As ABI points out, Chromebooks could turn out to be just another fad like netbooks before them, especially once a wave of low-cost, Windows 8.1 with Bing-powered laptops flood the market.\n\nBut netbooks were killed by tablets, not Microsoft. And unlike netbooks, Chromebooks are full-sized laptops that are well-designed (Er, at least the latest models).

Susan Medina, a spokesperson for the CBI, explained that the initial results in each of those 56 cases showed lower alcohol levels for the drivers than when additional quality assurance retesting occurred. She added that there is no indication that any defendant was inappropriately charged with an offense based on test results showing an erroneously high level of alcohol in a driver’s bloodstream.\n\nThe CBI opened labs in Pueblo and Grand Junction in July 2015 and has since conducted approximately 1,500 DUI blood tests for the Colorado State Patrol and other law enforcement agencies. Medina stated that the faulty tests accounted for about 4 percent of the DUI testing the labs have conducted since last July.\n\nThe CBI said it learned of its erroneous lab results in recent months when an independent laboratory, ChemaTox, checked two blood samples that had also been tested by the CBI. ChemaTox discovered what the CBI refers to as \"anomalies.\" ChemaTox told CBS4 that it notified state authorities of the problems in December 2015. Following this notification, the CBI checked some of its other DUI alcohol results and confirmed its lab testing problems.\n\n\"While a thorough review remains in progress,\" the CBI stated, \"it is believed the cause of the anomalies has been identified and corrected.\" However, Medina declined to specify whether the problem was due to human error, testing equipment, or some other factor.\n\nSarah Urfer of ChemaTox labs told CBS4, \"I contacted CBI and said, 'Look, we had an anomaly and it’s 24 percent different.'\" Urfer emphasized that the anomalies are important because people’s lives are at stake.\n\nDavid Miller, a Denver-based defense attorney who represents DUI clients, told CBS4 that the CBI needs to be fully transparent. \"It creates a problem with the integrity of the system,\" Miller said. \"They’re not saying what the problem is, so we don’t know what the problem is, so we’re going to have to get full disclosure to start with. I think it’s up to prosecutors now to look at each case and see if the convictions are proper in the first place and notify the client or lawyer as to what’s happening.\"\n\nMiller noted that the CBS4 investigation revealing the faulty testing highlights a \"huge problem.\" He explained, \"It’s a big deal if you’re the person affected by it. It’s a big deal individually, and if you look at the big picture, if you are the person affected by this, it’s a very big deal.\"\n\nTo re-establish credibility, Miller said the CBI needs to have all 1,500 blood samples it has examined since last July re-tested.

In March 2011, she was sold to a farmer in Aschau am Inn, Bavaria, who intended to fatten and slaughter her. On May 24, 2011, Yvonne escaped from her electric-fenced pasture and hid in the woods near the villages of Zangberg and Stefanskirchen. Following her escape, animal-rights activist Michael Aufhauser purchased her, intending to capture her and transport her to his animal sanctuary, Gut Aiderbichl, a former farm in Deggendorf, Bavaria.\n\nSearchers employed multiple techniques to locate Yvonne and draw her out of hiding. They used infrared cameras, helicopters, and other cows as lures. However, these attempts were largely unsuccessful, and some of the lure cows also escaped, requiring additional cattle to be used.\n\nAs all capture attempts failed, Yvonne received increasing attention from the mass media in Germany and Austria, and eventually worldwide.

Yvonne could be located but not captured because animal-rights activists and police feared that any aggressive approach might drive her out of the forest and onto busy streets.

He found out almost right away that Ford had been a drunken, violent mess on St. Patrick's Day 2012, but when reporters asked about Ford's state that night, he would only say their information was incorrect, choosing to zero in on the claim that Ford had snorted cocaine, the one piece of the story not corroborated by accounts of the staff who were there.\n\nWith regard to 2013's Garrison Ball incident, Towhey has consistently maintained that no one asked the mayor to leave the event—a formulation that conveniently excludes Towhey himself, who begged the fucked-up mayor not to arrive, attempted to physically bar him from entering, and then tried to drag him out as soon as possible. Towhey maintains that these weren't lies, as though a narrow truth uttered through the clenched teeth of deceitful contortions is somehow more morally sanctionable.

Its astronomical success at immediately cultivating major donors and raising vast sums of money had never been seen before in Louisiana.

Notwithstanding the irony and the hypocrisy of Governor Jindal, seemingly for the very first time in his entire career, invoking and championing the preemption doctrine, Enright may very well be correct in his analysis.\n\nBut the simple fact is that BP’s lawyers can and will argue otherwise. It is an issue of first impression that will ultimately be determined by the courts, not by Jindal’s attorney. SB 469 provides a new and novel line of defense. Indeed, Louisiana’s Attorney General and nearly 100 legal experts from the nation’s top law schools all agree. The oil and gas industry’s lawyers know it’s true, too; after all, by Governor Jindal’s own admission, they helped write the law.\n\nEven if Enright is, in fact, right and even if the courts eventually rule against BP, because these issues will take months, if not years, to fully resolve, Jindal’s decision to sign and enact SB 469 almost certainly reduced substantially the anticipated settlement values for thousands of Louisiana citizens. And that is why BP stands to gain billions of dollars. Remember, BP has enormously deep pockets; if they wanted to, they could afford to litigate these claims for the next century without ever affecting or even touching their bottom line. The average citizen, however, cannot afford and would never be inclined to wage a war of attrition against BP about the preemption doctrine as it relates to state law conflicting with the Oil Pollution Act.\n\nRemember too, the longer the legal process, the less those who were affected and damaged by BP’s negligence can expect. In a complex case involving billions of dollars, a broadly and vaguely worded new law can have an enormous economic value.\n\nMake no mistake: Governor Jindal understood this. As reported by Patrick Flanagan of The Independent Monthly, Nikesh Jindal, Bobby Jindal’s younger brother, is an attorney with Gibson Dunn, one of the law firms representing BP against the damage claims, assigned to the division handling BP’s case. This is a critical detail and potentially a massive conflict of interest that has never been fully explained or even properly disclosed.

John Druce knows something about being in the right place at the right time. The best run of his NHL career—the stretch that turned his last name into a magic word in Washington—was kick-started by happenstance. Dino Ciccarelli was injured early in the 1990 playoffs, Druce moved up through the Capitals' lineup, and suddenly the young forward was the best goal scorer in the world. Druce scored nine times in a five-game playoff series against the Rangers, ended the spring with four game-winners, and finished that postseason with 14 goals in 15 games, an offensive explosion still mentioned in hockey circles every spring.\n\nSo Druce's new job as a first-time head coach with the Cobourg Cougars, marking his return to hockey after more than a decade away? His team's 16-2 start in the Ontario Junior Hockey League? His arrival before a season that will end with Cobourg hosting Canada's Junior A championship?\n\n\"Things like this happen,\" Druce said this week, referring to his past. \"Right place, right time.\"\n\nIf anyone deserved another happy coincidence, it was Druce, 12 years after heartbreaking news had led him to leave the sport. The former winger had been working as a hockey analyst in Canada when his then-15-year-old daughter Courtney—just a toddler waking up in the middle of the night during his famous Caps streak—was diagnosed with leukemia. With Courtney and her family members in and out of hospitals, Druce could no longer maintain a hockey lifestyle, so he left the game and became a financial adviser in his native Peterborough, Ontario.\n\nOver the next decade, his daughter turned into a public figure in Peterborough as she fought off an avalanche of medical problems—what Druce calls \"a battle that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.\" She went through chemotherapy four times and radiation twice. She had two bone marrow transplants. After beating leukemia for a third time, she was in remission for almost five years and getting on with her life when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She beat that, too, but then the cancer came back a year ago. She died in April, eight days before her 28th birthday.\n\n\"She's my hero,\" Druce said. \"She would still walk into a room and would still light up that room when she walked in, even after going through all of that. She didn't take one day for granted. She always had goals and always had dreams, and was still pursuing them as she was going through this. It was unbelievable.\"\n\nDruce's own goals, meanwhile, underwent a change. Instead of pursuing a post-playing career in hockey, he would raise money and awareness for other Canadian families going through similar struggles. And he was in the right place at the right time for that, too.\n\nAround the time Courtney was diagnosed, a dozen Peterborough police officers had decided to launch a three-week annual bike ride, visiting schools to talk about pediatric cancer while riding hundreds of miles around Ontario. The Canadian Cancer Society knew that Druce was looking for an outlet, and they gave his name to his hometown cops, who knew Druce only as a hockey player with a famous hot streak on his résumé.\n\n\"I said I'd really be interested in being a part of that if they'd welcome me,\" Druce said. \"And they did, with open arms.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2018, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "86564d0a5f9c4c8e9ad7458c42839b0f0117e76b", "raw_chars": 3184, "clean_chars": 3163, "edit_ratio": 0.0399, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Blackberry-faced New Yorkers peered up from their smartphones and asked strangers simply, \"Did you hear?\" Mets and Phillies fans cast aside their divisional rivalry and chanted \"U-S-A!

He ordered the world to pick sides with a \"You're either with us or against us\" Manichaeism. And the world did not pick terrorism, but the world did not pick President Bush either. The War on Terror polarized into us vs. them, black vs. white absolutes.\n\nBut what followed was a slippery slope descent into the murky underworld of secret CIA prisons and the grayish nether reaches of legality and morality.

He sought to understand how Satoshi Nakamoto originally structured Bitcoin and identified opportunities for improvement. At the time, the altcoin market was being flooded with scams and pump-and-dump schemes. These projects used promises, buzzwords, and the allure of quick profits to swindle Bitcoin from communities. From Viz's vision, Coinshield (CSD) was born.\n\nThe first CSD block was mined on September 23, 2014, at 16:20 UTC-7, and the project, soon to be named Nexus, went live. At that point, the project had only one mining channel: a Prime Mining channel based on CPU. On October 23, 2014, the Hashing (GPU) channel was launched as the second proof channel. The blocks included a first-ever subsidy, where a portion of each mined block would be sent to one of 13 developer accounts and another portion to one of 13 exchange accounts. On January 24, 2015, CSD was listed on the Bittrex Exchange.\n\nShortly afterward, Viz drafted the first whitepaper, which outlined how the network would work to recycle and merge the economies and communities of these scam coins. The goal was to help the people in those communities by bringing them into the CSD community and, at the same time, help clean up the cryptocurrency space. The exchange accounts would be used to merge these economies by exchanging the scam coins for a portion of CSD.\n\nOn April 11, 2015, Viz announced the intention to rebrand to Nexus. Discussions followed regarding the ticker symbol, and NIRO was chosen to represent Nexus. On July 24, 2015, Nexus version 2.0 was released, introducing Nexus Proof of State (nPOS) and the Trust Network. This laid the foundation for the broader scope of Nexus.\n\nAt the beginning of September 2015, Videlicet revealed his identity as Colin Cantrell. In October 2015, a more formal team was formed to promote development, build the community, and market Nexus. The ticker symbol was revised to NXS. Discussions on Nexus's direction led to the decision to abandon the recycling and merging that was part of the Coinshield project. The technical work required to implement the merging had been done, but with the explosion in the number of new cryptocurrencies, the process would have had little impact. Therefore, Nexus began to develop into something much more expansive, taking on a whole new direction.\n\nNexus still seeks to help carry on Satoshi's dream of decentralization, and as such, it continues to work on improving the blockchain protocol. Some of how it works, its goals, specifications, and features are described further in this post.

While news might be hard to come by unless there is a devastating injury or a blockbuster trade, it is always good to know where to find reliable information from trusted sources. So, without further ado, The Hockey Writers brings Isles fans a list of blogs and Twitter accounts that could be extremely useful to follow. If there are any egregious omissions, readers are encouraged to leave a comment and let the authors know if any account or blog was glossed over.\n\nNew York Islanders\n\nThe New York Islanders’ official website offers some of the best and most easily accessed team coverage on the internet. Contributors such as Cory Wright, Eric Hornick (The Skinny), and Brian Compton (NHL.com) write articles for the site, and there are a number of interactive features for fans. Videos of post-game interviews, interviews with prospects, and updates on the Isles’ minor league affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, are readily available.\n\nMSG Network\n\nPerhaps the only thing missing from the list would be a Howie Rose Twitter account. With a star-studded cast on the MSG Network, there is a lot of quality reporting that the network has to offer. Individuals such as Stan Fischler, Butch Goring, Jiggs McDonald, Eric Hornick, and Peter Ruttgaizer have given Isles fans some of the best coverage and analysis they could ask for, whether before, during, or after a game. Their presence in the social media universe is just as significant.\n\nNewsday\n\nSince 1940, Newsday has been providing coverage of events in and around Long Island. Of course, the New York Islanders did not arrive on the hockey scene until 1972, but their establishment certainly gave the Long Island-based paper a significant area of coverage in the sports arena.\n\nFor the last few seasons, Arthur Staple has served as the Islanders’ beat writer for Newsday, providing in-depth reporting on the team’s progress during the NHL season and the offseason. Not only does Staple produce excellent write-ups on the Islanders, his social media presence is tremendous, making him a must-follow for anyone who is either new to the Islanders or the Twitter sphere.\n\nCBS New York – WFAN", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2054, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "f4417a1709aace55173fddf67de9a0632293580a", "raw_chars": 3167, "clean_chars": 3180, "edit_ratio": 0.384, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Rumpus: Towards the end of the book, Xanther appears to have an epileptic fit. The reader follows her as the text speeds up and rips through the pages. How does design integrate with the text?\n\nDanielewski: It’s a big question. Particularly for Xanther, the design changed over the nine years it took to write. I was trying to settle on what would be right. The name and the look of the font are important. These changes are constantly going on. I am designing the text as I am writing it. It is not like you write the text and then design it; they go hand in hand. When these moments accelerate, there is less text on the page. The meanings have to be more concentrated. You can be more verb-heavy in terms of action, or you can be more poetic. There are times when I changed the font and that radically affected the number of words on the page, and that changed everything, and suddenly her voice changed. There is a lot of that. She hears this cat through the three pink ellipses. One of the parts that always gets me about Xanther is the thought of writing twenty-seven volumes with her at the center. This is the greatest privilege that I can imagine. I will be so lucky if I get to do this. All the characters in the book hear the cat, but she’s the one that answers and leaps from the car to get it. All of the other characters are chosen, but she’s the one that answers. That’s the heart of the book for the writer and the reader: Do you answer the call?\n\nRumpus: In multiple books, you seem to have a keen interest in children in peril. There is the horribly abused Johnny Truant in House of Leaves, and the orphans endangered by the storyteller in The Fifty-Year Sword. Now, there is Xanther, who has a bleak future ahead. Do you see a trend in your writing?\n\nDanielewski: Sure. It’s a point, a nexus, where the literal and historic, prophetic and prescriptive, and the symbolic combine. Yes, we are talking about a child, but we have these young ideas at all ages. If nurtured and cared for, they can go up to bigger and better things. They may be as significant as a little impulse that a fifty-year-old woman has been holding on to, that she can nurture, and suddenly become this little gleam ten years later, and change her life in a way that is inspiring for everyone. Through a lot of practice of my own, whether it is physical practice like tai chi or yoga, it is this constant place of finding newness and beginnerness. A child is emblematic of that. It is a time when we are formed by powerful ideas and may be prejudiced by these ideas. From an early age, we are prejudicially slotted to a certain viewpoint. We always have an opportunity to engender a different viewpoint, yet it is very easy not to. It is this point when habits that start to reinforce bad things as well as good things have not quite formed or set, and there is an openness. There is such a vitality. At the same time, there is an age in The Familiar… it is very difficult for me to see the book as you see the book, for so much more of it is in place in my head, which I know is not in Volume I.\n\nRumpus: In terms of your working style, do you already know what happens in V. 22 and V. 27?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2051, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ff38a5d4250ea197f1720c12d39e0733fe290f93", "raw_chars": 3438, "clean_chars": 3447, "edit_ratio": 0.0495, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Metropolitan News-Enterprise\n\nThursday, December 15, 2005\n\nPage 11\n\nREMINISCING (Column)\n\nAt 10-2 and 4 O’Clock, It Was Dr. Pepper Time\n\nBy ROGER M. GRACE\n\nI recently came across an advertisement for a Dr Pepper contest. To have a chance at winning $5,000 tax-free, the ad stated, an entrant simply had to supply the second line for this couplet:\n\n“A lift for life at 10, 2 and 4\n\n.”\n\nIf you were thinking of rushing to get your submission in, sorry, you missed the deadline. It was midnight, July 31, 1951.\n\nA more recent Dr Pepper contest had a May 22, 1965 deadline. The first prize was described as follows:\n\n“Two fun-filled weeks in scenic Switzerland (TIME capital of the world), a car clock (installed in a 1965 Mustang), His and Her Longine watches—and—$10.24 an hour, 24 hours a day for 14 days.”\n\nThe contest placed an accent on time, an ad explained, “because we’ve clocked ‘10,’ ‘2’ and ‘4’ as traditional Dr Pepper times.” The sum of $10.24 was arrived at, it was spelled out, was “[t]o remind you of 10, 2 and 4—what else!”\n\nIf you’re my vintage, or older, or just a bit younger, Dr Pepper’s tie to the numerals “10, 2 and 4” is no mystery. I strongly suspect, however, that if my daughter were to read the foregoing, it would make absolutely no sense to her.\n\nThe significance of the numerals to the popular fruit-based soft drink is explained on the website of the oldest bottler of Dr. Pepper (in Dublin, Texas) as follows:\n\n“It was in the 1920s that Dr. Walter Eddy at Columbia University studied the body’s metabolism. He discovered that a natural drop in energy occurs about 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. But he also discovered that if the people in his research study had something to eat or drink at 10, 2 and 4, the energy slump could be avoided.\n\n“After Dr. Eddy’s research findings were released, Dr Pepper challenged its advertising agency to come up with a theme which would suggest that Dr Pepper should be that 10, 2 and 4 drink which would keep the energy level up. The result was one of the most enduring of Dr Pepper’s advertising themes: Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2 and 4.”\n\nPromotions for Dr. Pepper centered on those numbers. For example, an ad in the Dothan (Ala.) Eagle on July 26, 1934 announced that on Saturday, the local movie theater would interrupt the film at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to serve complimentary bottles of Dr. Pepper (which back then, was spelled with a period after “Dr.”).\n\nThere was even a syndicated radio show during World War II called “The 10-2-4 Ranch” (later, “10-2-4 Time”), aired in the South and other areas to which Dr. Pepper’s distribution had extended. The show featured the Sons of the Pioneers (associated with Roy Rogers) and, for most of its run, Dick Foran. (Foran in 1935 had emerged as the original “singing cowboy,” beating Gene Autry to the designation by a matter of weeks.)\n\nThe Dr. Pepper Company pushed the notion that ingestion of sugar at 10, 2 and 4 was actually something healthful. And, of course, parents would want their children to engage in healthful practices.\n\nIn these days when there’s a push to rid school cafeterias and vending machines of sugar-based products and those high in carbohydrates (which turn into sugar), it’s hard to imagine an ad like the one appearing in the Sept. 23, 1930 edition of the Port Arthur (Texas) News.

One effect of this mechanism is to make it extremely difficult for third-party or independent candidates to make much of a showing in the Electoral College. If, for example, a third-party or independent candidate were to win the support of even as many as 25% of the voters nationwide, he might still end up with no electoral votes at all unless he won a plurality of votes in at least one state. And even if he managed to win a few states, his support elsewhere would not be reflected. By thus failing to accurately reflect the national popular will, the argument goes, the Electoral College reinforces a two-party system, discourages third-party or independent candidates, and thereby tends to restrict the choices available to the electorate.\n\nIn response to these arguments, proponents of the Electoral College point out that it was never intended to reflect the national popular will. As for the first issue, that the Electoral College over-represents rural populations, proponents respond that the United States Senate—with two seats per state regardless of its population—over-represents rural populations far more dramatically. But since there have been no serious proposals to abolish the United States Senate on these grounds, why should such an argument be used to abolish the lesser case of the Electoral College? Because the presidency represents the whole country? But so, as an institution, does the United States Senate.\n\nAs for the second issue of the Electoral College's role in reinforcing a two-party system, proponents, as we shall see, find this to be a positive virtue.\n\nArguments for the Electoral College\n\nProponents of the Electoral College system normally defend it on the philosophical grounds that it contributes to the cohesiveness of the country by requiring a distribution of popular support to be elected president, enhances the status of minority interests, contributes to the political stability of the nation by encouraging a two-party system, and maintains a federal system of government and representation.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2079, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f977fcf0c52626c64e210ea63253b8a6bfa97de1", "raw_chars": 2019, "clean_chars": 1846, "edit_ratio": 0.8313, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is a discussion that refuses to die, largely because some participants choose to remain ignorant of the history behind what \"white pride\" means culturally compared to other forms of racial pride.

Honestly, no. But when the opportunity was there, I was really excited about it and I took it.”\n\nThe Pirates logo on Vogelsong’s decade-old bag is faded and outdated. The Giants likely thought Vogelsong’s career — he will be 39 in July and spent part of last season in the bullpen — had reached that same point.\n\n“I kind of knew what direction they were going to be heading in the offseason, and I knew my time there was probably coming to an end,” Vogelsong said. “When you go home for the offseason, you digest and try to start thinking about the future. I tried to pick out some places where I thought I could fit in and help, and (Pittsburgh) was definitely on the list.”\n\nIn mid-December, Vogelsong signed a $2 million contract to fill a back-end spot in the rotation.

Burnett retired and J.A. Happ signed with Toronto, the Pirates needed a starter.\n\nThere is some irony in Vogelsong’s return to claim a rotation spot. During his first five seasons with the Pirates, he made 70 of his 103 outings out of the bullpen.\n\nAlthough he said he is “receptive” to going to the bullpen this season if necessary, Vogelsong made it clear he wants to start.\n\n“I just feel that at this point in my career and at my age, having a regular routine is better for me,” he said. “My body still feels great, my arm feels great.”\n\nVogelsong doesn’t have much competition for a job behind the trio of Gerrit Cole, Francisco Liriano and Jon Niese.\n\nGeneral manager Neal Huntington repeatedly has said top pitching prospects Tyler Glasnow and Jameson Taillon will begin the season at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Then it will be up to Vogelsong to hold off the rookies.\n\nVogelsong has resurrected his career once before. The Pirates let him walk as a free agent after a bumpy 2006 season.

Joseph did not claim to be mechanically preserving a hypothetically \"perfect\" biblical text. Rather, he used the extant King James text as a basis for commentary, expansion, and clarification based upon revelation, with particular attention to issues of doctrinal importance for the modern reader. Modern readers are accustomed to thinking of a \"translation\" as only the conversion of text in one language to another. But Joseph used the term in a broader and more inclusive sense, which included explanation, commentary, and harmonization. The Joseph Smith Translation is probably best understood in this light. FairMormon revised, deleted, or corrected many of their original responses after the release of \"Debunking FAIR's Debunking.\" The above original FairMormon response can be found online.\n\nJeremy's Response to FairMormon\n\nContrary to FairMormon’s assertion that God himself revealed the 1769 King James Version errors to Joseph, FairMormon is conceding here that Joseph copied King James Version text over to the Book of Mormon. According to the above-referenced September 1977 Ensign, Joseph Smith was sitting there translating the Book of Nephi when he recognized the text as Isaiah, stopped the translation, put down his hat and magical rock, picked up his 1769 King James Version Bible, and copied over the Isaiah verses, including its unique 1769 King James Version errors and italics, into the \"most correct book,\" the Book of Mormon.\n\nAm I really supposed to take this seriously? Why would Joseph need to do this? How does it make any sense that Joseph stops translation coming direct from God to grab errors and italics from a book that has been corrupted over the centuries through numerous translations? A Bible that Joseph later pointed to as needing correction and which he \"corrected\" in his \"inspired\" translation of the Bible?\n\nIn any event, this scenario is contradicted by eyewitness accounts of the translation process, as well as the process described by the Church’s December 2013 Gospel Topics article.\n\n\"Modern readers are accustomed to thinking of a 'translation' as only the conversion of text in one language to another.\"\n\nThis makes sense, given the multitude of sources, including the Church-sanctioned Gospel Topics article, supporting a \"tight\" translation method, including the following account from David Whitmer:", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2088, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "11773c486a4ea80891003842736ef9d8b07992eb", "raw_chars": 1718, "clean_chars": 1810, "edit_ratio": 0.2625, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The National Park Service is still reviewing the group's proposal, according to Russell Newell, a spokesman for the Department of the Interior, who confirmed this in an email.

First, no witness account of the translation process confirms that Joseph consulted the Bible during the process. Second, the official 2013 Church article on the translation process, as well as contemporary eyewitness accounts, contradict this assertion. As stated above, the Church's recent Gospel Topics article states that \"Joseph placed either the interpreters or the seer stone in a hat, pressed his face into the hat to block out extraneous light, and read aloud the English words that appeared on the instrument.\"\n\nNext, Book of Mormon witness David Whitmer, along with other witnesses, debunks FairMormon's \"loose translation\" theory. Whitmer recounted: \"Joseph Smith would put the seer stone into a hat, and put his face in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine. A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principal scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear.\" This account is quoted in Elder Russell M. Nelson's \"A Treasured Testament.\"\n\nThe key concession made by FairMormon here is their acknowledgment that it is indeed possible that Joseph consulted the King James Version Bible for writing the Book of Mormon.

The main thing taken from the book is the heart and soul of it: It's about a young boy growing up, and having the craziest of experiences.\"\n\nHe is also quick with a pop culture reference. One of the ways Waititi enlivened Wilderpeople was with an infusion of well-placed pop culture references. Ricky, for example, names his dog Tupac after his favorite rapper. While hiding in the bush, the boy notes his plight is like Lord of the Rings. When Ricky tells the woman from children's services that he is the Terminator, she replies that he is actually Sarah Connor from the first movie, before she could do pull-ups. That is just one of a few barbs the welfare agent gets, and they did not all make the final cut. \"I saw her character as Tommy Lee Jones from The Fugitive. She lives in a movie fantasy,\" Waititi says. \"There's one outtake we did with her where she did the entire Last of the Mohicans speech.\" She also has a catchphrase: \"No child left behind.\" Waititi had not realized he lifted that from George W.

Regarding access, far too many people lived without insurance and relied on emergency rooms instead of regular doctor visits. Regarding cost, most Americans described the health care system as being at a crisis level. The Affordable Care Act attempted to address access by mandating that everyone buy insurance or be covered under their parents' plan. This is a clumsy mechanism that does not account for the fact that many people cannot afford insurance. To address cost, the law provided subsidies to low-income citizens. However, in neither case did the Affordable Care Act actually solve the problem. As I have written previously, even with subsidies, many Americans simply cannot afford to buy insurance or end up stuck in plans with very high deductibles. Furthermore, the law does not cap premium increases, allowing insurers to price gouge. Finally, the Affordable Care Act forced insurers to raise premiums for individuals who buy insurance outside of the markets and do not have employer-based coverage. It is an unworkable system, which is why single-payer health care is presented as the solution.\n\nSingle-payer health care addresses both access and cost in the most effective ways possible. Regarding access, everyone would be eligible for Medicare under Senator Sanders' plan. Regarding cost, single-payer health care would save everyone money. The average American spends twice as much on health care as the average Canadian.

This has been one of the most explosive Stanley Cup finals in recent years, with both teams completely dominating their home games while struggling on the road. The Penguins took a 2-0 lead while playing at PPG Paints Arena, but were then swept in Nashville, where the Predators avenged their earlier losses. The defending Stanley Cup champions now return to home ice for Game 5, hoping to bounce back. Whoever wins this crucial matchup will be one victory away from claiming the title. Both teams have immense stakes: Pittsburgh wants to defend its iconic trophy, while the Predators are chasing their first NHL championship in franchise history.\n\nThe series has largely been defined by the power of goaltending, particularly for Nashville’s Pekka Rinne. At 34 years old, Rinne has been exceptional. In his two starts in Pittsburgh, he allowed eight goals on 36 shots, but he rebounded strongly in Game 4, stopping 23 of 24 shots. He now holds a 13-1 record in his past 14 home games and is guaranteed at least one more start at Bridgestone Arena in Game 6.\n\n“He was incredible today. He made some great saves on shots that you thought were going in, but he battled back and kept it out of the net,” said forward Viktor Arvidsson, 24, after the Predators’ 4-1 victory in Game 4 on June 5. “We never doubt Pekka. He’s an unbelievable player. He steps up for us every night. He’s the key to our game.”\n\nPekka Rinne reflected on his performance after the win. “I don’t want to look back. We have work to be done. I’m sure at the end of the day, when you look back, it’s a roller coaster and an emotional ride,” he said. “The first two games, we did a lot of good things. Personally, I wasn’t very happy with my game. But obviously these last two games have been huge for us, and personally too. It’s a game of confidence, being a goalie.”\n\nRinne delivered one of the most epic moments of the finals with a massive double save on back-to-back shots from Sidney Crosby, followed by throwing his body across the crease to block an open-net attempt by Jake Guentzel.

I couldn't begin to estimate the number of times I have tripped. When I was in my teens, I abused almost every drug imaginable. Now that I'm in my thirties, I have cleaned up my life, and the only drug I use is mushrooms.\n\nI think the most important thing to remember when tripping is that set and setting are extremely important. Make sure you are somewhere you feel safe and at ease. Don't trip around drunk people. Psychedelics are powerful and should be respected, but don't be afraid of them. Remember you are just high; the things you are seeing are all in your head and it's temporary.\n\nThere is no such thing as a bad trip. Trips can be unpleasant and challenging, but in my experience, more difficult trips are the most rewarding ones in the end. If you can learn to just let go and let the drugs show you what you need to see, psychedelics can be life-changing. I take solo trips on high doses, up to 30 grams of very potent mushrooms, almost every week. It can be overwhelming at times, but it has really helped me get to know myself and sort out my thoughts and emotions.\n\nDon't look at psychedelics as a way to get fucked up at parties, but rather as powerful spiritual medicine. If you can do so safely, I also strongly recommend tripping in nature.\n\nIt is worth noting that in life we have only one mind to mold. It would be wise to research exactly what you are putting in your body and also note the adverse effects. Note the physical effects, the psychological effects. Ask questions. Could psychedelics help me? Is there any possibility for long-term damage?\n\nPsychedelics, and drugs in general, have the potential to capture our curiosity and even perhaps ameliorate our lives, but it is indeed a fact that psychedelics can have adverse effects. Keep in mind what you are doing with your one body.\n\nDo your drugs in a safe place and consider having a \"trip sitter.\" That is, be sure to do your drugs somewhere comfortable and safe to ensure good times, and perhaps bring along a friend who can watch TV while you \"feel weird.\"\n\nAgain, drugs are fun, but so is life. I was once swept up in too many drugs and I forgot about living for a moment. If you find yourself irritated because you are too broke to afford a ten sack of marijuana, then you may want to ask yourself: why am I irritated? Be aware of habits. Be aware of what impact habits can have on your overall health and daily functioning.\n\nIt is sad to see people flunk out of college because of drugs. I witnessed many of my friends do exactly that. It is sad because their bad habits led them to fail at something they wanted in life. Now it's years later and they tell me about all their regret. Don't forget about your overall quality of life.\n\nSome of the laws in this country seem a bit backwards sometimes, but that doesn't change the fact that the police will crack down on you for breaking the law. Keep in mind that when you do certain drugs you are risking something—your record. Even if the risk is small, it is a risk. Be careful to take precautions and be safe out there. Don't get arrested for smoking weed in the park when you could have done it at home in the garage.\n\nAs someone who's dabbled in psychedelics for 12 years or so, I'll offer my shortlist;", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2115, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "38c2c6182ab44cd3ef4be90fefe039c12734e3d5", "raw_chars": 2220, "clean_chars": 1929, "edit_ratio": 0.8, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "According to Kali, the THC-Hydra Tool is a parallelized login cracker that supports numerous protocols for attacking systems.

The tool offers various options, including target settings, password specifications and wordlists, tuning for speed and timing, specific configurations for testing on targets like domains or HTTPS proxies, and controls to start, stop, and view the output.\n\nTo begin using the tool, search for xHydra in Kali Linux. Set the target IP address, such as 192.168.0.103, in the target area. For this example, SSH authentication is used to communicate with the remote target. The command line at the bottom of the tool automatically generates based on the settings configured in the graphical user interface.\n\nNext, perform a wordlist attack using a file containing common passwords to attempt to break into the root account. You can add as many passwords as needed to your wordlist. In the passwords area, set the username as \"root\" and specify the location of your wordlist file. Kali Linux comes with built-in wordlists, which can be searched using the command \"locate *.lst\" in the terminal.\n\nIn the tuning area, set the number of tasks to perform. For this attack, one task is set, and the proxy can be left as \"No Proxy.\" Finally, trigger the attack by clicking the start button.

If you feel the effects are not quite enough after an hour and a half, you can add another 0.5 to 1.5 grams. A simple rule of thumb is that doubling any dose of a psychedelic will not only intensify the existing effects but also introduce completely new ones. For instance, if 1.5 grams produces a certain experience, 3 grams can feel almost like a different drug entirely.\n\nI strongly recommend that first-time users keep their initial ten trips below 3.5 grams (one-eighth of an ounce). For most people, an eighth of an ounce is an extremely strong dosage.\n\nFor LSD, start with a quarter to a whole blotter or geltab. You can decide whether to take a booster of the same size two hours after your initial dose.\n\nA quirk of psychedelics is that if you start out and take the same dose every time, the drug will tend to become more intense, more complex, and more interesting with each use. This happens because you learn to \"trip,\" and as you learn, more becomes possible or noticeable. However, this can also mean that a given dose becomes too much. If that happens, back down. \"Too much\" psychedelic is a very bad feeling for almost everyone.\n\nHow often should you use? I recommend once every one to three months. Less often is fine, but more often will cause you to lose the magic. I personally used about six to eight times a year for twenty-one years on average, and the experience has remained more beautiful and complex than ever. The magic is still all there. If you abuse it heavily, though, the magic can be lost over a single summer holiday. What a pity.\n\nThe best places to use psychedelics are either at home or in nature, where you will not be disturbed. For beginning trippers with fewer than ten experiences, I recommend having a non-tripping friend present to help talk you and your tripping friends down. Stoners are ideal for this role, as they tend to be calm and are not easily bored. The best number of people to have present during a session is two to four.\n\nI recommend growing your own mushrooms and San Pedro cactus, and getting active in creating a supply of psychedelics for yourself and friends. There are still some psychedelics that are legal. If you create a stash, I recommend keeping a minimum of 100 doses combined of varied psychedelics. This will give you peace of mind for years to come and keep you away from dealers and the law.\n\nThat is it for now. Trip carefully!\n\n---\n\nUnite, Shroomerite! Both agreement and disagreement would benefit from a better Shroomery.\n\nWhat a good idea!\n\nMy first trip was ten years ago. It is hard for me to recall exactly how many times I did something, but I will try to be as accurate as possible. I have taken MDMA (XTC) 15 times, amphetamine 20 times, LSD 30 times, shrooms 5 times, DMT 25 times, mescaline 1 time, ketamine 10 times, 2C-B 3 times, 2C-E 2 times, 2C-C 1 time, 4-HO-MET 1 time, 4-AcO-DMT 2 times, cocaine 2 times, and GHB 4 times. I have also used hashish every day.\n\nI have a lot of experience trying different chemicals, and what happened to me was that I ended up in a psychosis. My advice is not to trip too much. Doing it once in a while is fun, but if it becomes a habit, watch out. Take care of yourself; you have only one brain, and please do not destroy it.

She looks defensive, actually. It is 2017, and the violence she is referring to is being meted out in the name of feminism. Feminism, which used to mean a revolutionary political movement dedicated to the liberation of women from male dominance. I don't know what it means anymore.\n\nWhat I do know is that on September 13th, about eighty women gathered at Speakers' Corner—a significant and historic place of free speech and open debate—to attend a talk about a proposed act of parliament. This legislation would see gender identity replace gender reassignment as a protected characteristic under the law. Instead of requiring a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, a medical certificate, and having lived as one's chosen gender for a minimum of two years, an individual would be able to simply declare themselves the opposite sex and sign a statement of intention to live as such. This would make the process far easier, quicker, and much less intrusive.\n\nThe act represents a gargantuan table flip in how we understand ourselves as humans: our sexual dimorphism, reproductive biology, and how we organize ourselves in the public and private spheres. When an individual's sex is defined not by distinct and measurable physical characteristics, but by their subjective internal feelings about gender, what implications does this have for the category of humans who have been oppressed for centuries on the very basis of their biology? That is what the women gathering at Speakers' Corner wished to discuss.\n\nThe woman whose words are quoted at the beginning of this article formed part of a group wishing to shut down the discussion. To debate the nature of gender hierarchy is to debate the right of trans people to exist, they say. To even speak of the ways in which natal women and girls might be affected by the new law is tantamount to murder, to genocide. And so, in this way, the women at Speakers' Corner were redrawn as monsters, as Nazis, as a mortal threat to be crushed.\n\nExcept none of it is true. All humans exist with basic rights enshrined in law. I know of no woman who does not support any individual's right to live and present how they wish, and to be treated with respect and allowed to thrive in peace. Everybody must have equal access to opportunity, housing, employment, and justice, no matter how they identify; I believe this passionately. The conflict occurs at the point at which gender identification is said to determine someone's actual sex.

You can still face a 30-year prison sentence for testosterone use if you get caught, though that is a significant caveat. However, the likelihood of getting caught seems to have decreased compared to a few years ago. The hysteria surrounding the issue appears to have ebbed, and alarmists have lost much of their credibility. For instance, parent groups have been ridiculed for calling creatine a steroid, and Don Hooton lost credibility by proclaiming that veteran actor Tom Hanks opened a Broadway show \"high on steroids\" after receiving a cortisone shot for an injured hand. Hooton sounded rather desperate.\n\nSteroids are perhaps less vilified today and have, in fact, been inducted into the modern American lexicon. The phrase \"on steroids\" is now openly accepted, even in advertising, to depict the deluxe version of just about anything, from pick-up trucks to non-stick cookware. Baseball is boring again, and any time an athlete does something noteworthy, it is automatically assumed that he is \"on steroids.\"\n\nChances are he is, and no government willing to enforce laws against it is ever going to stop him. Part of the reason for this is the high degree of chemical engineering going on today that was extremely rare just a few years ago. Designer labs are certainly the new frontier, and the feds know it.\n\nThere is a big difference between hunting down high-profile elite athletes and cracking down on the new forms of steroids designed to sneak around the law. While the government might not be chasing big-named athletes around with the wild geese, lawmakers are still reaping political mileage out of the steroid issue. At the time of this writing, Representatives Joe Pitts (R-Penn.) and Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) have introduced legislation in the House designed to crack down on anabolic steroids masquerading as dietary supplements.\n\nThese \"designer steroids\" emerged in the wake of lessons learned from the BALCO case. The products are made by reverse engineering illegal steroids and slightly changing their chemical composition. Such reengineering avoids placement on the DEA's list of controlled substances, creating a significant loophole for athletes to exploit. Urine tests can only detect known substances. If you are taking something unknown, you cannot fail a drug test.\n\nThe House bill is the next step toward full passage of a law that will further empower the DEA with new tools to identify and quickly respond when new designer anabolic steroids are introduced and falsely marketed as dietary supplements. How much of a bearing will this have on us? Very little. The point is just to show that while the steroid issue may have lost its luster in the mainstream, there are lawmakers who still think the platform can buy them some votes.\n\nJust remember, the public stigma against steroids may have relaxed a little, and the government may have decided they have had enough congressional hearings on steroids, but that does not mean that getting caught for them isn't still a reality. Nor does it mean that the effect that bust will have on you and your family will be anything less than profound. It will get worse when your local paper runs the story.\n\nApparently, this is what is known as \"evolution.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2128, "chunk_idx": 9, "raw_sha1": "806534e312adcbb43125a53a5e4c1ebc6d4f49dd", "raw_chars": 3482, "clean_chars": 3754, "edit_ratio": 0.6758, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To date, there is no published data in the medical literature suggesting that steroid use, or the cessation of steroid use, incites suicidal ideation on its own. However, medical journals are filled with reports of suicidal ideation in adolescent patients treated with SSRIs. Given this statistical evidence, why has Don Hooton focused his blame on steroids rather than SSRIs? Why is he targeting steroids, which are scientifically the least likely culprits, and campaigning so aggressively to demonize them?\n\nThe answer lies in the personal gains he has reaped. Following the vocal campaign against steroids in the wake of his son's suicide, Hooton was able to testify before Congress during the baseball hearings, and he did so on multiple occasions. He established a non-profit foundation in his son's name, leveraging it to pressure Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig into donating a million dollars. Hooton named himself president of the foundation and decided to pay himself up to 32% of the millions in funds he collected. He traveled across the country, presenting himself as an expert, securing newspaper coverage, and even being named Texas Sports Personality of the Year by the Dallas Morning News. None of this celebrity status or financial reward would have been possible if he had targeted SSRIs instead. Steroids made Don Hooton a celebrity and a wealthy man. Suing the makers of Lexapro would have yielded him nothing.\n\nRegardless of the outcome, he will not get his son back. Similarly, Alzado's son will not get his father back, and history will not reverse the nine-year, seven-month sentence given to Johnson. Rather than alarming suburban parents with sensationalistic lies that suggest the sky is falling for our children, why not simply tell the truth?\n\nIt is necessary to acknowledge the reality of steroids' widespread use in professional sports, but good science has also demonstrated a legitimate role for steroids among healthy adult males, particularly as they age. The misinformation spread by figures like Don Hooton is only surpassed by the money they make from it. Proof of this can be found in the fact that, more than a decade after Taylor Hooton's suicide, the scientific community has not attributed a single teen suicide to anabolic steroids. Yet Hooton continues to earn millions by preaching that it could still happen, insisting despite mountains of evidence to the contrary that his son died from steroids. He likely claims this statistic as a victory. The only thing more revolting than Hooton's mission is the support he receives from those who believe him. Unfortunately, there are more than a few.\n\nBALCO and Barry Bonds\n\nShortly after the plea deal was reached with Victor Conte, and the name \"BALCO\" became as ubiquitous as \"Kleenex,\" the US Sentencing Commission reconvened to increase sentences for steroid-related cases. The four months Conte spent in federal prison following a $55 million federal investigation was deemed insufficient. The result of those Sentencing Commission hearings was the implementation of the stricter penalties described earlier in this article.\n\nWhile the narrative may seem complete, the story continued. The federal agent who led the BALCO investigation, Jeff Novitzky, emerged as a sort of cult anti-hero, carrying the torch in his self-appointed fight against steroids. Although there was never a formal order to target BALCO, Novitzky pursued it independently and continues to this day to do his best to imprison as many athletes as possible. Novitzky's tactics often push the limits of legality and ethics, employing methods that are just as questionable as those of the athletes he chases. The only difference is that he rarely achieves a definitive victory.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2141, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7468bc5470617b38e6a14e463520ea947486e0b4", "raw_chars": 2913, "clean_chars": 2863, "edit_ratio": 0.2666, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Most Haunted is a British paranormal reality television series that originally aired on Living TV from May 2002 to July 2010. After a hiatus, a new online edition premiered on October 31, 2013, and the show returned to broadcast television on the channel Really in August 2014. Presented by Yvette Fielding, the programme investigates purported paranormal activity in various locations, primarily within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The series is produced by Antix Productions.\n\nThe show was first broadcast on Living TV from May 2002 until July 2010, when the network decided to cancel the programme. After four years off the air, Fielding and Karl Beattie, the show's producer, confirmed that following a successful online episode, Most Haunted would return to screens in August 2014 on Really.\n\nTo date, over 250 episodes of the programme have been broadcast, with the 24th series airing in early 2019.\n\nCancellation and Revival\n\nOn August 12, 2011, it was announced that Sky Living had officially cancelled Most Haunted and returned the rights to the show to Yvette Fielding and Karl Beattie. In 2012, it was revealed that Antix Productions had partnered with Lionsgate to redevelop the series. By July 2013, Karl Beattie had begun scouting new locations for a new series. In April 2014, Yvette Fielding confirmed in an interview with Channel 4's Sunday Brunch that Most Haunted would return to television in late 2014, a fact later confirmed on June 4, 2014. It was subsequently confirmed that Really would be the new home for the show.\n\nProduction\n\nThe Most Haunted team has travelled throughout the United Kingdom, as well as Ireland, the Netherlands, Romania, the United States, Italy, and the Czech Republic, investigating paranormal activity for 24 hours at a time.\n\nPhotography\n\nThe photographic style of the series has changed considerably since its first series. In the initial series, many elaborate shots were set up with an almost theatrical style, featuring illuminated windows and dry ice. Locations were often illuminated outside at night with blue and green colours, and there was a high emphasis on quality production. From series 1 to 3, there was extensive use of the steadicam, which provided gliding shots during Yvette's ghostly tales or for general views. In series 8, the team introduced a camera crane or 'jib' system for elaborate aerial shots of both Yvette and the locations. Most of the photography in Most Haunted focuses on 'general views' of a location and its surroundings.\n\nMost Haunted is filmed with both broadcast Sony DSR-570WSP and DSR-PD170P DVCAM cameras, as well as Sony DCR-PC9E miniDV cameras. A thermal imaging camera is also used to detect and highlight cold and warm spots. The style of the series changed somewhat after series five, losing its grungy look as it became more mainstream.\n\nMusic", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2141, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "cb4636fbd7b8a006aba8a9fa94e4750e307d0bcb", "raw_chars": 2956, "clean_chars": 2858, "edit_ratio": 0.3908, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This section outlines the changes across the 23 series of Most Haunted, providing a detailed look at major changes through the programme's original run (series 1–14), which was broadcast on Living, and offering brief series overviews and filming location lists for the revival series (15–23), broadcast on Really.\n\nTime Slot\n\nSeries 1 aired on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm on Living.

Series 23 was broadcast daily at 10:00 pm on Really, and Series 24 returned to Fridays at 9:00 pm on Really.\n\nSeries 1–3 (2002–2003)\n\nThe show was initially known as \"Most Haunted with Yvette Fielding and Derek Acorah,\" a nickname used until series 6. The first series began on 25 May 2002, with each episode having a duration of thirty minutes. However, reruns of these episodes were later re-edited to the full hour and titled Most Haunted Unseen. Added footage in these reruns is shown with a caption in the corner to distinguish it from the original version. The series concluded with an investigation of Michelham Priory on 17 September 2002, which was coincidentally the first episode to be produced. In the eighth series, the team revisited this location to mark the 100th episode. During the break between series, the team aired three live investigations, the third of which led into the second series on 8 April 2003. From this point onwards, episodes were accompanied by a supplemental program called Most Haunted Extra. Initially, Extra was available as a ten-minute feature after the main show, accessible to viewers via the red button. For series two and three, Phil Whyman joined the show as a paranormal investigator, replacing the original investigator Jason Karl of Lancashire. Guest investigators included Portsmouth native David Scanlan and Vicki Purewal, who decided not to continue with the team and left at the end of the first series. The show remained unchanged at this point until series 4.\n\nSeries 4–6 (Derek Acorah Departure and Revamp)\n\nThe fourth series commenced on 23 March 2004 with an investigation of Owlpen Manor. Most Haunted Extra became a thirty-minute programme, broadcast for half an hour after the main show on LivingTV. This series was the first to feature guest mediums joining the team during the investigations. This change took some of the pressure off Derek Acorah, who had been the only medium in the first three series.

This usually happens when multiple funnel steps match the same web pages. If you look at the funnel setup above, the first step is the home page (/), which matches with all other funnel pages because they all contain '/'. This occurs because of the 'regular expression' match type selected for the URL destination goal (which is /completed-purchase.php). The match type (like 'Regular Expression', 'Begins With', or 'Equal to') you select for the URL destination goal is continued throughout the funnel setup. So, if you select 'regular expression' match for the URL destination goal, it will be the same match type for each funnel step. Similarly, if you select 'Begins with' match for the URL destination goal, it will be the same match type for each funnel step. Remember that funnel steps can accept regular expressions. In order to solve the 100% continuation issue in the funnel visualization report, you need to rewrite the regex for the goal page and each of the funnel pages.\n\nAnother example: if the goal URL is /.*/signup\\.php, then Google Analytics can match this regex with the signup page in any directory. For example, the goal URL will match the following URLs:\n\nhttps://www.abc.com/signup.php\nhttps://www.abc.com/offer1/signup.php\nhttps://www.abc.com/offer2/signup.php?query=jay\nhttps://www.abc.com/offer3/signup.php?query=shoes&id=2013\n\nTo learn more about the uses of regular expressions in Universal Analytics, check out this article: Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager Regex (Regular Expressions) Guide. Note: You can also use wildcards to define a goal or funnel page. For example, you can use *.pdf to define a goal page. Just like a 100% continuation rate, you can also see a 100% exit rate in your funnel visualization reports whenever two or more funnel steps match the same web pages.\n\nIssue #7: Not Understanding the Required First Step\n\nWhen you mark the first step of the funnel as required, the funnel visualization report includes only those conversions that pass through the required step. That means your funnel conversion rate could be different for a funnel in which the first step is not marked as required.\n\nHere, the order in which the 'required funnel page' was viewed during the GA session, which results in conversion, does not matter. So it is not required that a website user must first visit the required funnel page before visiting any other funnel page. The funnel steps 1, 2, 3, etc. are meaningless unless users can't proceed to the next step before visiting the previous funnel page. As long as the required funnel page is viewed in a web session (which results in conversion), regardless of the order in which it is viewed, the conversions will be counted by GA. In our case, the required funnel step is the home page. So the funnel visualization report would include only those conversions in which the home page was viewed in a web session, regardless of the order in which it was viewed. Similarly, if you want the funnel visualization report to include only those conversions in which one of the product category pages was viewed, then set product category pages as the required step. Similarly, if you want the funnel visualization report to include only those conversions in which one of the product details pages was viewed, then you can set product details pages as the required step.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2154, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7a9c04abd153a5ac9c4f9f0f8d4244c0c1ca89e1", "raw_chars": 2107, "clean_chars": 2192, "edit_ratio": 0.2626, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "An employee of a private school in Bengaluru has been accused of molesting children.

In fact, some psychologists argue that we can only appraise our own personality and behavior within the context of a reference group.\n\nFor example, men rate themselves as more caring when they compare themselves to other men than when they compare themselves to women. Conversely, women rate themselves as less caring when they compare themselves to other women rather than to men. Similarly, Canadians rate themselves as less direct in their conversations if the reference group is other Canadians rather than Japanese, while the opposite holds true for Japanese participants.\n\nHowever, much like context, most items on autistic trait questionnaires also lack a specified reference group. For instance, on one questionnaire, respondents are asked whether they behave in ways that seem strange or bizarre and whether they are regarded by others as odd or weird. But according to whom? Who should respondents consider when assessing whether they are regarded as odd or weird? Should they consider autistic people or non-autistic people? And does it make a difference? Our second experiment was designed to answer these questions.\n\nWe manipulated the reference group for items on another autistic traits questionnaire, the Social Responsiveness Scale. We presented each item with an \"according to autistic people\" reference group, an \"according to non-autistic people\" reference group, or a self-reference group, \"I think.\" We collected data from 82 autistic and 82 non-autistic adult participants who were matched for age, sex, gender, and parental education.\n\nWe predicted, and found, that autistic participants report having fewer autistic traits when the reference group is other autistic people (e.g., \"According to autistic people, I behave in ways that seem strange or bizarre\"). Autistic participants report having more autistic traits when the reference group is non-autistic people (e.g., \"According to non-autistic people, I behave in ways that seem strange or bizarre\"), and they report a medium amount of autistic traits when the reference group is themselves (e.g., \"I think that I behave in ways that seem strange or bizarre\").\n\nIn contrast, non-autistic participants seem impervious to the reference group. They report having the same degree of autistic traits regardless of the reference group. This led to a statistically significant interaction (F(2,160)=94.38, p<.001, η²p=.541), although not the interaction we had predicted. One explanation is that the particular autistic trait questionnaire used in this study, the Social Responsiveness Scale, is couched in such severe phrasing that non-autistic persons' responses are too bound to the floor to show any effects of our manipulation, even though the scale is frequently administered to non-autistic individuals.\n\nPractical Applications\n\nWhat are the practical applications of our study? Our data demonstrate that the degree of autistic traits—specifically, the difficulty interacting and communicating with other people—for both autistic and non-autistic people is contextually specific.

Furthermore, they demanded that every mental patient or ex-patient have the right to a free second opinion from a psychiatrist of their own or the Union's choice, along with access to an effective appeal process.\n\nJoan Hughes, an early member of the Mental Patients Union, recounted the group's origins. Around 1972, several groups of psychiatric patients and sympathetic mental health staff in England began to voice political concerns about their situation in society. Many mental patients lacked basic civil rights; for instance, patients residing in institutions were often stripped of the right to vote.\n\nThe first group Hughes encountered was a collective of patients attending the Paddington Day Hospital in West London. This facility was known for employing enlightened treatment methods, including psychotherapy. When National Health Service authorities attempted to close the hospital, patients held meetings and organized protests. Their efforts were successful, and the hospital remained open.\n\nOne of the patients at Paddington Day Hospital was Eric Irwin. Along with three professionals—Liz Durkin, Lesley Mitchell, and Brian Douieb—Irwin recognized the need for a patient-led organization. They collaborated to write a booklet titled \"The Case for a Mental Patients Union.\" They were later joined by two other patients, Andrew and Valerie Roberts. This group formed the pilot committee for the Mental Patients Union. The booklet became widely known as \"The Fish Pamphlet\" due to the image of a fish on a hook on its cover. This imagery illustrated the idea that while the behavior of someone suffering from mental illness might appear mad, it could actually be a method of coping with their problems.\n\nA large meeting to discuss forming a Mental Patients Union was held on the evening of Wednesday, March 21, 1973, at Paddington Day Hospital. Approximately 100 people attended, the majority of whom were patients or ex-patients, most living in London. It emerged that this was not the first attempt to form such a union; attendees included members of the previously formed Scottish Union of Mental Patients, individuals who had tried to establish a union in Oxford, and a message from a group in Leeds.\n\nThe national Mental Patients Union was officially formed, with full membership reserved exclusively for patients and ex-patients. There was considerable discussion regarding the content of the Fish Pamphlet. Many patients objected to its use of Marxist ideas. It was decided that while the pamphlet could be circulated by the Mental Patients Union, it would not be an official publication of the organization. The union's policy would be written independently and voted on at meetings where only patients and ex-patients held voting rights. This foundational document was titled the Declaration of Intent of the Mental Patients Union, which began with the following points:\n\n1. The right of Mental Patients Union representatives to inspect all areas of hospitals or equivalent institutions.\n\n2. We deny that there is any such thing as 'incurable' mental illness and demand the right to investigate the circumstances of any mental hospital patient who believes he or she is being treated as incurable.\n\n3.

We ran the Robin Farquharson House in Mayola Road for three years. This was divided into individual rooms that were entirely under the residents' control, but it also had an office which served as a crash pad in emergencies. We often had people staying who were going through a crisis and who were supported by other residents. We also helped and advised people by telephone and letter, and there were visitors from all over the country as well as from abroad.\n\nWe set up two other houses in Woodford to accommodate people, and after a while, these became self-managing.\n\nCOPE AND WEST LONDON MPU\n\nCOPE (Community Organisation for Psychiatric Emergencies) was running in West London at the same time as MPU. Some of its members were patients; others were not. It ran a crisis centre, published a magazine, and also tried to provide short-term housing. COPE provided a base for Eric Irwin's \"West London MPU\". Many people met him there. One of those people was Julian Barnett, the founder of PROMPT (Protection of the Rights of Mental Patients in Therapy).\n\nPSYCHIATRIC DRUGS\n\nI joined the Mental Patients Union shortly after it started. I took part in many activities, but because of my experience, I was particularly interested in the side effects of psychiatric drugs. In October 1975, I was one of the three people who brought out A Directory of the Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs.\n\nAs an analytical chemist, I was able to help a lot on the scientific side and in reading and understanding reports.\n\nMy name at this time was Joan Martin. The other two people were Andrew Roberts and Chris Hill, who typed the directory.\n\nMY EXPERIENCE\n\nLet me tell you something, first about my experience of psychiatric drugs and why it is so important that people who take them are well informed about their effects.\n\nOne day in 1969, I visited my G.P. and told her about my depression. She said that she could give me an injection for this and I would soon feel better. She said that the title of the drug was \"Modecate\", which I knew nothing about.\n\nI had this injection, walked home, and into a cinema to see a film. Midway through the film, I felt not sleepy but incredibly depressed. The world was slipping away from me.

It tends to be too dark and strong, whereas consumers generally prefer lighter, clearer syrup. However, long ago, this late-season sap was used to brew a potent dark beer that provided welcome relief to farmers during the hot summer hay harvest.\n\nToday, several local microbreweries are reviving this historic beverage. In the 1970s, Vermont musician John Cassel recorded a popular local song about sap beer, yet finding an actual bottle to drink was nearly impossible at the time. The traditional method of making sap beer had already faded into obscurity alongside other outdated farm practices, such as hand milking, a generation or two earlier. Folklorist Greg Sharrow notes that sap beer represents an era when farm families produced nearly everything they needed directly from their land.\n\nIn a 1992 interview with the Vermont Folklife Center, the late Edgar Dodge described how sap beer was made on the farm where he grew up during the Depression Era. The process sounded more like fun than work. \"You'd take the last run of the sugaring operation,\" he explained. \"Get down to where you can taste the leaves in it, that sort of thing.\"\n\nDodge recalled that this leafy-tasting sap would be boiled down to about halfway to syrup consistency. Farmers would then add hops, yeast, a little sugar, and sometimes raisins before storing the mixture in a barrel in the cellar. A glass of sap beer offered cool relief after a day of intense farm labor. As Dodge remembered, it was typically brought out of the cellar just as the first hay was cut. \"And this would be fit to drink about the first of haying, which in those days was the fourth of July,\" he told the Folklife Center.\n\nAny amateur brewer knows that beer making involves some guesswork and mystery, and this was especially true for sap beer in the past. Dodge noted that you could not be certain until you opened the barrel and tasted the final product whether it would be drinkable or merely \"junk.\" When it was good, however, it was strong. \"I don't think the man ever lived that could drink two 8-ounce glasses and walk 10 minutes later. I don't believe so. So, that was sap beer. I doubt if there's a barrel of sap beer in the state of Vermont today,\" he said in 1992.\n\nMaybe not then, but there has been renewed interest in this old refreshment thanks to a couple of Vermont microbreweries. Sean Lawson heard about maple sap beer a few years ago and began researching it. He developed his own version, brewing it in a more controlled environment than the traditional \"ye olde cellar,\" and has been producing it for five years.\n\nThis month, he won a silver ribbon at the prestigious World Beer Cup for the sap beer he bottles under his label, Lawson's Finest Liquids. Lawson's sap beer is similar to the traditional drink, featuring high alcohol content and a strong maple flavor. He uses barrels once used to age maple liqueur from Saxton's River Distillery, which Lawson says enhances the maple character. And, true to tradition, it tastes different every year.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2179, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bca7a96651fe6d8aaf85c61c75f2753f521066b3", "raw_chars": 3341, "clean_chars": 3323, "edit_ratio": 0.9814, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "SINGAPORE - Round two of opposition party talks to discuss constituencies and how to avoid three-cornered contests appeared to fray at the start, but party leaders emerged after an hour-long meeting with all but three constituencies now likely to see straight fights between the opposition and the ruling People's Action Party.\n\nThe prospects for a resolution did not look bright initially, as the Worker's Party (WP) was a no-show, and Reform Party (RP) chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam left just 15 minutes after the meeting started.\n\nThere was no immediate word on why the WP did not attend, but Mrs. Hazel Poa, acting secretary-general of the National Solidarity Party (NSP) - which hosted the all-party talks at its Jalan Besar headquarters - told reporters that WP chairman Sylvia Lim had emailed the party earlier to say it would not be attending. In the email, Ms. Lim said the WP had already made its position clear at the first round of talks on Monday.\n\nOn Wednesday night, WP secretary-general Low Thia Khiang had made clear to reporters that the party would not budge from the areas where it had staked a claim, such as in Marine Parade GRC, even as it would do its best to avoid three-cornered fights. Indeed, two of the three unresolved areas from talks on Thursday night involved the WP and the NSP.\n\nAs party leaders adjourned and the media was allowed into the meeting room, a chart projected on the wall showed that the WP and NSP remain locked in their claims for Marine Parade GRC and the MacPherson single-seat ward.\n\nThe other unresolved constituency involves Mr. Jeyaretnam's RP and the year-old Singaporeans First (SingFirst) party led by former civil servant Tan Jee Say. Mr. Tan told reporters at the end of the meeting that he would work with the RP to resolve the matter.\n\nEarlier on Thursday evening, Mr. Jeyaretnam left the meeting but then returned to speak to reporters to emphasize that he did not walk out and that bilateral talks would continue. However, he noted that the WP did not attend. He also said his party had shown a great deal of flexibility at the first round of the all-parties talks on Monday, as the RP and NSP, for instance, resolved their claims over the Radin Mas and Pioneer single-seat wards. The NSP agreed to give up on Radin Mas and the RP relinquished its claim to Pioneer.\n\nBut at Thursday's meeting, the RP ran into issues with SingFirst, which wanted to contest in West Coast and Ang Mo Kio - both GRCs which the RP had already staked a claim to. At the end of the meeting, the chart showed that West Coast was left to the RP, meaning it appeared that only their claims over Ang Mo Kio GRC remained to be resolved.\n\nHowever, Mr. Jeyaretnam disclosed earlier that SingFirst had also approached blogger Roy Ngerng about being a candidate for them in Ang Mo Kio. This was after Mr. Ngerng had said that he was interested in contesting there with the RP. Mr. Ngerng has already submitted an application to join the RP.\n\nMr. Tan explained when asked that he has been talking to Mr. Ngerng for some time already and, having heard that Mr. Ngerng had an interest in SingFirst, he was merely asking Mr. Ngerng if that was the case.\n\nThursday's meeting ended just before 9pm, about an hour after it began.

The WP had offered not to contest the MacPherson single-seat ward if the NSP, which is also interested in it, gave up its interest in the Marine Parade GRC. NSP president Sebastian Teo told The Straits Times that WP representatives made this offer at a meeting on Monday.\n\n\"The WP said they will take Marine Parade and give up MacPherson to us. But if we go to Marine Parade, then they will not give up MacPherson,\" Teo said.\n\nAt the end of Monday's meeting, which was attended by nine opposition parties including the WP, it appeared that 15 out of 29 constituencies were still headed for three-cornered contests. The main disagreement involved the WP and NSP's competing interests in the Marine Parade GRC.\n\nThe WP chief stated that the WP had to contest in Marine Parade due to changes in constituency boundaries, which will see the GRC absorb the Joo Chiat single-seat ward in the next election. The WP lost to the People's Action Party (PAP) in Joo Chiat by a slim margin in the 2011 general election.\n\nThe NSP, on the other hand, believed it should have priority since it contested and performed well in Marine Parade in the 2011 election, polling 43.4 percent of valid votes against the PAP's 56.6 percent.\n\nMr. Teo also told The Straits Times that at Monday's meeting, a vote was taken on whether the WP or NSP should contest in the Marine Parade GRC. Both parties involved in the deadlock were unable to vote. Of those present who voted, five supported the NSP and only one supported the WP. While the vote was not binding, Mr. Teo noted that it \"shows how the other parties look at things.\"\n\nDespite these disagreements, Mr. Teo insisted that the all-parties meeting on Monday was cordial. He also dismissed a media report that the NSP threatened to contest in Aljunied GRC, which is currently held by the WP. \"That is not correct; we didn't say that,\" he explained. \"During the discussion, someone asked the WP how they would feel if the other opposition parties formed a team and muscled in on Aljunied GRC. It's not quarrelling; it's just a hypothetical example. But the media just focused on that.\"\n\nWhen asked if the NSP would back down from the Marine Parade GRC, Mr. Teo said, \"From the very beginning, we already said the NSP will not initiate three-cornered fights. But it doesn't mean that when people force us into three-cornered fights, we will surely give way.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2209, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d75c105d30ea6afa178f5cb7a3231f9467e61986", "raw_chars": 908, "clean_chars": 1073, "edit_ratio": 0.3236, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Mark Yeates has scored two goals for Bradford City this season, with his latest strike securing a crucial victory against Preston North End.

However, it has also been targeted by authorities for stirring the pot, lighting fires, and generally being a nuisance.\n\nUsers have transformed from sources of useless babble and inane self-absorption into connected activists, Molotov cocktail throwers, and spouters of brief, often inflammatory messages. A whole spectrum of connectivity, riddled with messages of varying quality, has emerged.\n\nWhat then, of the terms of use? Given the nature of the platform, community guidelines are supposedly meant to be followed. This hardly means that they are enforced with any zeal. It means that an individual such as minor celebrity Tila Tequila, whose social media rants were often richly anti-Semitic, will only be banned after taking a bridge too far. That bridge was crossed when she posted a picture of herself with two men luxuriating in the Nazi salute.\n\nThe suspensions share a thread of inconsistency, though they often involve aspects of bullying or racial suggestiveness. For instance, a New Zealander known on Twitter as \"Poison Ivy,\" and then 19-year-old Jane Oranika, faced scrutiny for racial suggestiveness in an online makeup video on how to make a \"White Face,\" asking, \"Barack Obama? Is that some kind of sauce?\" Trump supporters did not see the humor in that.\n\nVarious, even more venal figures have made it to the ban list. George Zimmerman, who gunned down an unarmed Trayvon Martin in 2012, was suspended in 2015. It was the now oft-used term \"revenge porn\" that ultimately sank his social media presence, despite his previous posting of a picture of his murderous handiwork: Martin, lingering lifelessly in the grass.\n\nThe knotted realm of bitchiness and abuse is one thing; but removing political activists from the platform for violating various forms of claimed conduct is an onerous, and in some cases dangerous, task. Milo Yiannopoulos, one of the discordant voices of the alt-right movement and Breitbart's former tech editor, provides such a case. When does free speech, notably of the insensitive sort, transmute into pure hate speech?\n\nYiannopoulos ran foul of the rules by leading a social media strike on actress Leslie Jones of Ghostbusters fame, a form of character assassination in text. This got him booted off the platform in 2016. Since then, he has continued to tread on controversial ground, suggesting the possibility of 13-year-olds having sexual relationships with older pedagogues. Such inspirations from antiquity have not gone down well in a social media world less attuned to manuscripts than to bleeps.\n\nWhich brings us, at last, to the President himself. Donald Trump has conjured, confected, and suggested as few others on Twitter. He has made the social media platform a direct link to the voter in unprecedented ways.\n\nHe has also, according to the creator of House of Cards, Beau Willimon, done enough to be blackballed by the Twitter community. His suggestions go further than most. He argues that the Trump tweet fest poses a \"national security threat\" which emboldens \"our enemies to take advantage of his flagrant shortcomings.\"\n\nWillimon's views are traditionally contractarian, though he notes that Trump is different from any other user. \"Only one person on @Twitter is President of the United States. That comes with a supreme and unique responsibility.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2222, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "1006061837f171ed5555f4fd461ee10bce292bf5", "raw_chars": 3068, "clean_chars": 3085, "edit_ratio": 0.0223, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Undoubtedly, many seasoned public accounting professionals have received some variation of the following email:\n\nFrom: [Bored L.A.

Luckily his apprehension quickly turned to relief as Bengtson confirmed he was fine during a postgame conversation with the Revs’ staff.\n\n“There was a good moment of pause there because the feed I saw didn’t show what happened on the injury,” Heaps said. “When you see a guy down, you don’t know. But we spoke with him last night and everyone felt good.”\n\nBengtson is scheduled to arrive in New England on Thursday night and join the Revolution for his first preseason training session on Friday morning. Fitness shouldn’t be an issue after spending the past three weeks with Honduras, so Bengtson can focus solely on settling back into his club side.\n\n“I think now, from his standpoint, he has to compartmentalize,” said Heaps. “He had a lot of work to do with the national team, he did that work, and now he joins us and we want to get him up to speed with our guys. It shows that Jerry has a knack for the goal and we have to get him the chances to score like his team in Honduras does.”\n\nNguyen likely to be cleared for participation in the Desert Diamond Cup\n\nLee Nguyen was held out of the Revolution’s first two preseason matches in Casa Grande as a precaution following shoulder surgery last September. Although he’s been a full participant in training sessions, Nguyen has yet to be cleared for full contact and his teammates have been instructed to be cautious around the midfielder.\n\n“Guys know where Lee is and they can’t bump him too much; if they’re grabbing him, they try to stop,” said Heaps. “We’ve been monitoring that, but he’s [just about] ready to go.”\n\nHeaps estimated Nguyen is currently “90 percent full” in training and he believes last year’s team MVP will be available to play in the upcoming Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson.\n\nSene on track for March/April return from ACL surgery\n\nThe original timetable for Saer Sene’s recovery from ACL surgery called for a return in March or April and the French striker appears to be on course with that schedule. Sene has worked tirelessly during rehab and currently spends training sessions running and working on strength exercises with the athletic training staff.\n\nAlthough Sene will almost certainly miss the beginning of the season, the Revs are preaching patience in his recovery in the hopes he’ll be available for the majority of the campaign.\n\n“With a guy like Saer, you’re glad he has a good personality,” said Heaps. “We just have to make sure we’re patient and that his progress is being handled the right way.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2264, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "dc77116f05214141d827058e98b667938dc60b84", "raw_chars": 1294, "clean_chars": 1322, "edit_ratio": 0.7905, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "While examples of Common Core absurdity have typically involved simple math—often cited as the most blatant issue—the mutation of standards as they apply to reading has been far more insidious.

However, many of the protesters believe the issue is about something more insidious. On the walk into the capitol today, I saw six specific signs in the space of ten minutes.\n\nOne sign read, \"Scott, How Much KOCH Have You Done?\" Another declared, \"Scott Walker is a KOCH Whore.\" A third stated, \"CONFIRMED: Walker and Koch, Brothers With Bats.\" Others included \"KOCH-SUCKERS,\" \"Drunk With Power—High on Koch,\" and \"Recall Koch Bro's 'Puppets'—'Scott Walker' & 'Republicans'.\"\n\nNone of the protesters knew the other, but some of them bonded over their shared obsession: the influence of David and Charles Koch, two of the wealthiest men in America and donors to a bouquet of libertarian and Tea Party causes. Amy Janczy, from Lake Mills, Wis., carried the \"Drunk With Power\" sign, while David Wend, from Madison, carried the \"Puppets\" sign. They stopped to talk.\n\n\"I've been doing a lot of reading about the Kochs,\" explained Wend.\n\n\"I read the legislative summary of the Budget Repair Act,\" explained Janczy, \"and saw the stuff in there about the giveaways for the power plants. I saw the Kochs' fingerprints on that.\"\n\nShe was referring to Section 16.896 of the bill, which empowers Gov. Scott Walker to \"sell any state-owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without solicitation of bids.\" That section started to get attention on Monday; by this morning, Democrats in the state Assembly were using the floor time allotted to them in their quasi-filibuster to ask whether the Kochs were behind it, or interested in buying the plants.\n\nMadison's liberal Capital Times newspaper got a flat denial of that claim. \"We have no interest,\" said Philip Ellender, Koch Companies' president of government and public affairs, \"in purchasing any of the state-owned power plants in Wisconsin and any allegations to the contrary are completely false.\"\n\nI pointed this out to Janczy. \"Well,\" she said, \"they may say that, but I don't believe it.\"\n\nWhen it comes to the Kochs, progressives in Wisconsin are ready to believe the absolute worst.

They wield this power to maintain a fragile peace, though they are neither charitable nor benevolent. The Progenancy exacts a terrible price from those who defy their authority, once cutting off an entire nation from every power source in Quantum and plunging its people into an eternal darkness from which no one has ever returned.\n\nOpposing The Progenancy is a loose coalition of shamanistic tribal societies and underground resistance movements from the remaining eleven nations.

They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with mutations ranging from useful to grotesque. When two mutants have children, the offspring are always mutants, though they rarely share the same mutations as their parents. Mutants are reviled in both human and azi cultures.

Others flee and bond together as tribes, wandering the wild places of Quantum to avoid human and azi cities.\n\nAutomatons are genderless, hyper-intelligent living machines.

This cutting-edge world expanded rapidly, disconnecting from the rest of humanity. It rocketed to the edge of the universe and hurtled into the fabric of space-time to discover new sources of untapped power, aiming to expand their knowledge of the universe itself.\n\nThen, they found an energy source so powerful they were convinced it was the very glue holding the universe together. They tapped into it deeply, plunging into the distant, beating heart of this new spark. This caused their robotic world to nearly burst with inscrutable power. Feats of unimaginable prowess were discovered; manifesting objects and energy with mere thoughts became a reality, and even controlling life and death became as trivial as breathing.\n\nWhat they did not know, and could not know, was that this newly discovered source came with a dreadful price. At its heart lay darkness, vast and unfathomable evil from beyond the edge of reason and space-time. Shadowy, slithering horrors of such sinister potency infested the entire society from the inside out. They tore it to pieces and nearly sundered the world, sending every living thing spinning into a shattered, morose millennium of bedlam and anarchy.\n\nIt has been 1,000 years since the fall of the great society known as Quantum, and the civilized species of the world are finally rediscovering a semblance of what they lost. Quantum is a Dyson shell, an inside-out planet roughly the size of Mars with a sun-like ball of fiery plasma at its center, providing heat and light to the flora and fauna surrounding it. Though civilization is climbing from the ruins, it still has a long way to go before achieving the greatness of the Time Before. Today's Quantum civilization is equivalent to medieval Earth, featuring castles, walled towns, large farming communities, kings, queens, serfdom, chivalry, open warfare, political intrigue, and vast swaths of uncontrolled territory. Ancient experiments in reanimating extinct creatures from their DNA, animal and human cloning, the whole-cloth invention of beasts both great and terrible, and self-replicating artificial intelligences have left the wild places of Quantum filled with terrifying monstrosities from myth, legend, and Earth's extensive fossil record, as well as new races of living machines and swarms of metallic insects.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2284, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "a704bff0a835420dcf868e753ded413f47f09ecd", "raw_chars": 2898, "clean_chars": 2908, "edit_ratio": 0.2608, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Hugo Solis, also known as Butterfrog, discovered his passion for role-playing games in 1990 when he stumbled upon the Dark Sun boxed set at a local game store—a remarkable find for a comic shop in Mexico.

This structure enables both parties to easily work together to create a cinematic storyline filled with intrigue, conflict, combat, death, warfare, and triumph, without bogging down in complicated dice checks and endless rolling. The Infinite Roleplaying Engine is exactly that: a \"role\"-playing engine. The dice, though used and needed, are secondary to the experience of playing.\n\nInfinite X Studio promises to always strive to present a world that, in many ways, reflects what our world should be. Specifically, stereotypical portrayals of women in RPGs as either barely-clothed, subservient slaves or obnoxiously under-dressed warrior queens have no place in any of their product lines. Civilizations in their games will rarely explore gender differences unless that exploration is central to the story or theme of a location. The studio assumes, as they believe everyone should on Earth, that there is no difference between men and women other than some basic biological designs. They strongly believe that hobby gaming is for everyone, regardless of gender, age, skin color, sexual preference or identity, or religious belief (including a lack thereof). They want their products and their art to reflect this promise and hope that their community of friends will keep them honest should they ever seem to stray from it.\n\nJoshua J.

At the time, I was working as a server to put myself through grad school in a whimsical little eatery where the joke was that \"in order to be hired, you have to at least be a little curious.\" As the night slowed, I wandered downstairs to the kitchen in search of some abandoned nosh, and as I stood in the hallway munching on some chips, one of my coworkers walked by, ran his hand seductively across my waist, and instructed me to remember that \"straight skinny is gay fat\" with a judgmental glance at my deep-fried snack.\n\nSuch is the body-conscious world of gay men. Our subculture teems with adages like this one that declare our allegiance to the gods of Youth, Physique, and Sex. \"Straight skinny is gay fat.\" \"No fat, no fem.\" \"Twenty-five is the new forty-five.\" These phrases represent the pervasive undercurrent of unrealistic body norms and expectations that runs rampant and unchecked in the gay community, surfacing with every shirtless bartender's chiseled pecs, every headless six-pack flaunting itself on Grindr, and every media portrayal of a gay man as the modern-day Adonis. Physical appearance has indeed become a central factor to the contemporary gay man's sense of self, and we are beginning to crack beneath the burden of its expectations.\n\nAccording to the research literature, gay men display significant rates of body dissatisfaction, body image disturbances, and disordered eating behavior to a degree that closely aligns with those of straight women. Gay men are more likely to diet, fast, vomit, and over-exercise to alter their physique, and a gay sexual orientation has been identified as a specific risk factor for eating disorders in men.\n\nAnd, to be fair, we come by our physical preoccupation naturally. Historically, appearance cues have always been the medium gay men have used to identify each other, and as a minority group, gay men face the challenge of being socialized into the majority culture's masculine muscle ideologies, while also balancing the expectation of thinness within the subculture. Individuals who are sexually involved with men, furthermore, tend to be more focused on appearance due to the common belief that men place higher priority on a partner's physical form than women.\n\nWhat this seems to have developed into, however, is a hyper-image-focused culture that organizes and defines each of its members according to body type and preferred sexual position.\n\nAs a therapist, I have heard countless stories of the ways in which the body image pressures of gay culture influence men's relationships with their bodies, and I have labored under the weight of them myself. The perception that one must look a specific way in order to be accepted into the gay community drives some so far as to even delay coming out until they are in better shape, and for others, it is felt even more acutely if they happen to be out and single.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2303, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "da5db013149955361cd65f800ec470f927d6eabd", "raw_chars": 3475, "clean_chars": 3481, "edit_ratio": 0.197, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Latest: Sen.

Humayun S. M. Khan, and his wife Ghazala spoke during the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Thursday, July 28, 2016.\n\nNew Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte said in a statement on Sunday that Capt. Humayun Khan made the ultimate sacrifice and was a \"true American hero.\" Ayotte stated that his family deserves support, respect, and gratitude, and has every right to express themselves in any way they choose. She expressed that she was \"appalled that Donald Trump would disparage them\" and that the GOP presidential nominee \"had the gall to compare his own sacrifices to those of a Gold Star family.\"\n\nAmid the firestorm over Trump's comments, the two Republican leaders in Congress—Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan—issued statements praising Capt. Khan. However, neither made any mention of Trump or backed off their endorsement of the nominee.\n\nAyotte has said she supports Trump.

While calling for Americans to honor the Khans, both McConnell and Ryan stopped short of criticizing Trump by name.\n\nIn a statement issued on Sunday, Reid said anything short of revoking their endorsements of Trump is \"cowardice\" on the part of the Republican leaders. Reid said \"this shouldn't be hard\" and called Trump \"a sexist and racist man who insults Gold Star parents, stokes fear of Muslims and sows hatred of Latinos.\" The Nevada Democrat said Trump shouldn't be president and that \"Republican leaders have a moral responsibility to say so.\"\n\n___\n\nAt 4:55 p.m., House Speaker Paul Ryan said Muslim Americans who serve in the U.S. military should be honored—\"period\"—and that he would reject any proposal that would require a religious test for entry into the U.S.\n\nThe House speaker made these comments in a written statement issued on Sunday. He also praised U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2004.\n\nThe captain's parents came under criticism from GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for speaking out against his candidacy during the Democratic National Convention.\n\nThe bereaved father, Khizr Khan, called on Ryan to withdraw his support for Trump after the candidate's remarks about the family.\n\nIn his statement, Ryan did not mention Trump but said Capt.

It is an old story. On Wednesday, a lazy article claimed that Jeremy Corbyn had asked no questions during Prime Minister's Questions, even though the reporter knew that Theresa May was making her Article 50 statement after PMQs, to which Corbyn asked many pointed questions. Nevertheless, the fake news stuck in the minds of some, perhaps many.\n\nSimilarly, the nonsense about Corbyn failing to declare part of his income in his tax return was thoroughly debunked immediately after it was claimed. Yet, just a couple of days ago, mainstream publications like the Evening Standard were repeating it as fact. Whether this is lazy journalism or malicious, it is inexcusable.\n\nToday's example started with an ill-phrased Twitter comment yesterday by BuzzFeed journalist Marie Le Conte, in which she complained about slow responses by Labour to requests for quotes from the leadership. Others jumped in, ready or keen to reinforce the apparent point that Corbyn's communications team is slow and, presumably, ill-organized. Within half an hour, Jeremy Corbyn's Leader of the Opposition head of communications, Matt Zarb-Cousin, responded quickly to make the point that he always responds within half an hour. To her credit, Ms. Le Conte was quick to backtrack and clarify.\n\nHowever, in the interim, a host of journalists, no doubt happy to have a ready-to-eat Corbyn-kicking or Labour-bashing story on hand, had already started to spread the original, misleading comment as news. Sam Coates of the Times appears to have been the fastest, quickly followed by a who's who of anti-Corbyn and pro-Liberal Democrat journalists. That vital ingredient in the anti-Corbyn fake news soufflé—the self-serving Blairite malcontents keen to stir the pot—wasn't absent for long. In this case, it was one of the worst, Neil Coyle, who was quick to capitalize.\n\nOnce word got around about Matt Zarb-Cousin's response and Ms. Le Conte's subsequent correction, other journalists, including right-wingers such as Guido Fawkes, plus one or two of those who had jumped on the wrong bandwagon, acknowledged it. Not the odious Coyle, of course.\n\nBut the narrative of incompetent or inefficient communications at Jeremy Corbyn's office was already set. Anyone who didn't catch the later corrections or who only followed those who failed to correct will still be carrying the fake news around with them as if it were factual.\n\nMs. Le Conte did make one serious point, of course. The official Labour press and social media teams are very poor. But according to Labour insiders, that is by design, and we have already seen the evidence, such as last year's \"#TeamGlitterballs\" fiasco. A senior Labour source told SKWAWKBOX that the Labour Press team has been dire, but that is not by accident, and some people are all too happy to portray performance as poor to try to make Jeremy look weak. That is why he had to set up his own communications team on Twitter, and they have done brilliantly.\n\nIndeed.

The image on the right was rendered using the normalized iteration count algorithm, where these bands have been replaced by a smooth gradient. The colors still follow the same pattern that would be observed if the escape time algorithm were used.\n\nThe escape time algorithm is popular for its simplicity. However, it creates bands of color, which act as a type of aliasing and can detract from an image's aesthetic value. This issue can be improved using an algorithm known as the \"normalized iteration count,\" which provides a smooth transition of colors between iterations. The algorithm associates a real number ν with each value of z by using the connection between the iteration number and the potential function. This function is given by:\n\nϕ(z) = lim (n→∞) (log |z_n| / P^n)\n\nwhere z_n is the value after n iterations and P is the power to which z is raised in the Mandelbrot set equation (z_{n+1} = z_n^P + c; P is generally 2).\n\nIf we choose a large bailout radius N (e.g., 10^100), we have that:\n\nlog |z_n| / P^n = log(N) / P^{ν(z)}\n\nfor some real number ν(z), and this is:\n\nν(z) = n - log_P(log |z_n| / log(N))\n\nSince n is the first iteration number such that |z_n| > N, the number subtracted from n is in the interval [0, 1).\n\nFor coloring, we must have a cyclic scale of colors (constructed mathematically, for instance) containing H colors numbered from 0 to H-1 (H = 500, for example).

It consists of parameters that have an attracting cycle of period q and combinatorial rotation number p/q. More precisely, the q periodic Fatou components containing the attracting cycle all touch at a common point, commonly called the alpha-fixed point. If we label these components U_0, ..., U_{q-1} in counterclockwise orientation, then P_c maps the component U_j to the component U_{j+p (mod q)}.\n\nAttracting cycles and Julia sets for parameters in the 1/2, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 bulbs\n\nCycle periods and antennae\n\nThe change of behavior occurring at c_{p/q} is known as a bifurcation: the attracting fixed point \"collides\" with a repelling period q-cycle. As we pass through the bifurcation parameter into the p/q-bulb, the attracting fixed point turns into a repelling fixed point (the alpha-fixed point), and the period q-cycle becomes attracting.\n\nHyperbolic components\n\nAll the bulbs we encountered in the previous section were interior components of the Mandelbrot set in which the maps P_c have an attracting periodic cycle. Such components are called hyperbolic components.\n\nIt is conjectured that these are the only interior regions of M. This problem, known as density of hyperbolicity, may be the most important open problem in the field of complex dynamics. Hypothetical non-hyperbolic components of the Mandelbrot set are often referred to as \"queer\" or ghost components. For real quadratic polynomials, this question was answered positively in the 1990s independently by Lyubich and by Graczyk and Świątek. (Note that hyperbolic components intersecting the real axis correspond exactly to periodic windows in the Feigenbaum diagram. So this result states that such windows exist near every parameter in the diagram.)\n\nNot every hyperbolic component can be reached by a sequence of direct bifurcations from the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set. However, such a component can be reached by a sequence of direct bifurcations from the main cardioid of a little Mandelbrot copy.\n\nEach of the hyperbolic components has a center, which is a point c such that the inner Fatou domain for P_c(z) has a super-attracting cycle – that is, that the attraction is infinite. This means that the cycle contains the critical point 0, so that 0 is iterated back to itself after some iterations. We therefore have that P_c^n(0) = 0 for some n. If we call this polynomial Q^n(c) (letting it depend on c instead of z), we have that Q^{n+1}(c) = Q^n(c)^2 + c and that the degree of Q^n(c) is 2^{n-1}. We can therefore construct the centers of the hyperbolic components by successively solving the equations Q^n(c) = 0, n = 1, 2, 3, ....

For example, Shishikura proved that, for a dense set of parameters in the boundary of the Mandelbrot set, the Julia set has Hausdorff dimension two, and then transfers this information to the parameter plane. Similarly, Yoccoz first proved the local connectivity of Julia sets, before establishing it for the Mandelbrot set at the corresponding parameters. Adrien Douady phrases this principle as: \"Plough in the dynamical plane, and harvest in parameter space.\"\n\nGeometry\n\nFor every rational number p/q, where p and q are relatively prime, a hyperbolic component of period q bifurcates from the main cardioid. The part of the Mandelbrot set connected to the main cardioid at this bifurcation point is called the p/q-limb. Computer experiments suggest that the diameter of the limb tends to zero like 1/q^2. The best current estimate known is the Yoccoz-inequality, which states that the size tends to zero like 1/q.\n\nA period-q limb will have q-1 \"antennae\" at the top of its limb. We can thus determine the period of a given bulb by counting these antennas.\n\nPi in the Mandelbrot set\n\nIn an attempt to demonstrate that the thickness of the p/q-limb is zero, David Boll carried out a computer experiment in 1991, where he computed the number of iterations required for the series to diverge for z = -3/4 + iε (-3/4 being the location thereof). As the series doesn't diverge for the exact value of z = -3/4, the number of iterations required increases with a small ε. It turns out that multiplying the value of ε with the number of iterations required yields an approximation of π that becomes better for smaller ε. For example, for ε = 0.0000001 the number of iterations is 31415928 and the product is 3.1415928.\n\nFibonacci sequence in the Mandelbrot set\n\nIt can be shown that the Fibonacci sequence is located within the Mandelbrot Set and that a relation exists between the main cardioid and the Farey Diagram. Upon mapping the main cardioid to a disk, one can notice that the amount of antennae that extends from the next largest Hyperbolic component, and that is located between the two previously selected components, follows suit with the Fibonacci sequence. The amount of antennae also correlates with the Farey Diagram and the denominator amounts within the corresponding fractional values, of which relate to the distance around the disk. Both portions of these fractional values themselves can be summed together after 1/3 to produce the location of the next Hyperbolic component within the sequence. Thus, the Fibonacci sequence of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 can be found within the Mandelbrot set.\n\nImage gallery of a zoom sequence\n\nThe Mandelbrot set shows more intricate detail the closer one looks or magnifies the image, usually called \"zooming in\".

The seahorse \"body\" is composed of 25 \"spokes,\" consisting of two groups of 12 \"spokes\" each and one \"spoke\" connecting to the main cardioid. These two groups can be attributed by some kind of metamorphosis to the two \"fingers\" of the \"upper hand\" of the Mandelbrot set; therefore, the number of \"spokes\" increases from one \"seahorse\" to the next by 2. The \"hub\" is a so-called Misiurewicz point. Between the \"upper part of the body\" and the \"tail,\" a distorted small copy of the Mandelbrot set called a satellite may be recognized.\n\nThe islands above seem to consist of infinitely many parts like Cantor sets, as is actually the case for the corresponding Julia set J_c. However, they are connected by tiny structures, so that the whole represents a simply connected set. The tiny structures meet each other at a satellite in the center that is too small to be recognized at this magnification. The value of c for the corresponding J_c is not that of the image center but, relative to the main body of the Mandelbrot set, has the same position as the center of this image relative to the satellite shown in the 6th zoom step.\n\nGeneralizations\n\nAnimations of the Multibrot set for d from 0 to 5 (left) and from 0.05 to 2 (right) illustrate the variations. A 4D Julia set may be projected or cross-sectioned into 3D, and because of this, a 4D Mandelbrot set is also possible.\n\nMultibrot sets are bounded sets found in the complex plane for members of the general monic univariate polynomial family of recursions z ↦ z^d + c. For an integer d, these sets are connectedness loci for the Julia sets built from the same formula. The full cubic connectedness locus has also been studied; here one considers the two-parameter recursion z ↦ z^3 + 3kz + c, whose two critical points are the complex square roots of the parameter k. A parameter is in the cubic connectedness locus if both critical points are stable. For general families of holomorphic functions, the boundary of the Mandelbrot set generalizes to the bifurcation locus, which is a natural object to study even when the connectedness locus is not useful.\n\nThe Multibrot set is obtained by varying the value of the exponent d. The article has a video that shows the development from d = 0 to 7, at which point there are 6, i.e., (d − 1), lobes around the perimeter. A similar development with negative exponents results in (1 − d) clefts on the inside of a ring.\n\nHigher dimensions\n\nThere is no perfect extension of the Mandelbrot set into 3D.

The less salient aspects of the show collapsed under the weight of a simple truth: House of Cards makes Washington and its two wonkiest industries—journalism and politics—look really cool, even as it implicitly attacks them at their very roots.\n\nCurious about how the former House speaker and his wife, a former Hill staffer, are reacting to the new season of House of Cards? Yeah, so were we. Here are the takeaways, as reported by the Gingriches. Kevin Spacey is brilliant, and his performance alone would justify the series. The script is good, the other actors are solid, but Spacey is brilliant. Frank Underwood is a far more aggressive vice president than Joe Biden. Frank Underwood runs the Senate more ruthlessly than Harry Reid, actually in a style reminiscent of Speaker Tom Reed. Tea parties should have viewing parties. House of Cards could be a great recruiting tool. Claire Underwood is a study in ruthless professionalism. Riding the Metro is a little scarier now. House of Cards reminds us to watch our backs while waiting for the train. As Republicans, we are happy that our party is portrayed as somewhat stubborn and a challenge to manage, while Democrats are shown as corrupt, conniving, and viciously ambitious. Maybe House of Cards is actually a reality show.\n\nOver the past year, House of Cards’s political accolades have continued to amass. In December, the show received an endorsement from no less than President Barack Obama, who asked Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, on a visit to the White House, if he’d brought along advance copies of the show’s second season. \"I wish things were that ruthlessly efficient,\" the president joked. \"It’s true. I like Kevin Spacey. Man, this guy’s getting a lot of stuff done.\"\n\nThe lines have only gotten blurrier from there. McCarthy—Underwood’s real-life alter-ego, whose staffers once distanced him from the show—appeared in a recent web video where he and other members of Congress repeated memorable lines from the first season. In short, the actual majority whip was willing to associate himself with a fictional politician who once held his office, and who’s best known for his ruthlessness and his penchant for murder. In fact, on The Daily Show on Tuesday, Spacey told Jon Stewart that he’d followed McCarthy around Washington as part of his research for the role, and the two men ruminated about executing federal lawmakers. \"If I could kill just one member of Congress,\" Spacey says McCarthy told him, \"I wouldn’t have to worry about another vote.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2389, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "ffef8342d04fcc36f090b2aa72af3c0a8578a273", "raw_chars": 3305, "clean_chars": 3291, "edit_ratio": 0.6692, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The role that neo-fascists and the descendants of Stepan Bandera will play in the near-term future remains a significant question. Their presence in the vanguard of the protests is certainly alarming many people in eastern Ukraine and Crimea, and could potentially precipitate a violent split. On the other hand, the most likely scenario is that the neo-fascist and ultranationalist elements within the Svoboda party will be absorbed into the pro-Western coalition and politics, as they remain a minority within that coalition. Neoliberalism acts as a big tent that is willing to absorb ultranationalists, democrats, or even ousted president Yanukovych.\n\nThe power that neo-fascists already wield is concerning, but that does not mean there is not a significant amount of hype and propaganda regarding the neo-fascist threat. A perfect example of this fascist-hype propaganda was recently published in Haaretz, headlined \"Ukrainian rabbi tells Kiev's Jews to flee city.\"\n\nThe article reported that the Jewish community was asking Israel for assistance with security due to fears of violence against Ukraine's Jews. Ukrainian Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman called on Kiev's Jews to leave the city and even the country if possible, fearing that the city's Jews would be victimized in the chaos, according to the Israeli daily Maariv. Rabbi Azman stated, \"I told my congregation to leave the city center or the city altogether and if possible the country too. I don't want to tempt fate, but there are constant warnings concerning intentions to attack Jewish institutions.\" The report sounded frightening, reminiscent of the threats depicted in Schindler's List.\n\nLater that day, Haaretz published a correction, admitting it had been duped by a Kremlin-aligned source. The correction noted that an earlier version of the report incorrectly described Rabbi Azman as the chief rabbi of Ukraine. Azman is not the country's chief rabbi but one of two rabbis challenging the official chief rabbi, Yaakov Bleich, in Kiev. Like most Chabad rabbis, he is aligned with the Kremlin.\n\nThe point is that what is happening in Ukraine is not a simple battle between pro-fascists and anti-fascists. There are fascists on both sides; the opposition happens to favor fascist aesthetics more, but one should watch the video of Yanukovych's snipers murdering unarmed protesters and determine who the real fascists are in this conflict.\n\nEverything you think you know about Ukraine may be wrong. Everyone looking for a proxy side to support or oppose in the Ukrainian political dynamic will be disappointed. Ukrainian politics operate by their own rules. Today's neoliberal ultranationalist could be tomorrow's Kremlin ally, and vice versa. Just look at what happened to the Orange Revolution, which ultimately achieved little. For instance, one Orange Revolution leader, Yulia Tymoshenko, eventually turned against her partner Viktor Yushchenko and allied with Yanukovych to strip Yushchenko of presidential powers. Later, Tymoshenko allied with the Kremlin against Yushchenko. Now she is free from jail and the presumptive leader of the anti-Yanukovych forces. Meanwhile, the other Orange leader, the pro-EU and anti-Kremlin Viktor Yushchenko, wound up allying with the pro-Kremlin Yanukovych to jail Yulia Tymoshenko.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2399, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "179801a6a411d3e986fe704921fc103a662e560d", "raw_chars": 3441, "clean_chars": 3425, "edit_ratio": 0.6391, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Others started with her vocals, or a few chords on the piano. \"I think having a different approach every time helps us feel like we're doing something we want and it's spontaneous and exciting,\" says James.

I do that because it writes and reads better and it's easier to express something when it's in the third person.

The weekend is over, the bus to work is packed, and if you are like many people I know, you are stoked on dreading the next five days ahead. I remember waking up Monday mornings with a pit in my stomach, always feeling anxious about the week to come. Truly, I had nothing to fear and there were never any situations during the week that I was unable to tackle, but for some reason, Monday mornings (actually, usually beginning Sunday afternoons) were a time of fear.\n\nOne of the greatest things I have learned is how your morning actions set the tone for the rest of your day.

Set your GPS daily.\n\nWhat does this mean? Peta Kelly, a woman I respect tremendously (check her out at Life by my Own Design; she is brilliant), explains it like this: you are all dressed up and ready for an amazing party. You have on your sexiest outfit, a bottle of the most delicious champagne, and are ready for the night ahead. You get in your car, set your GPS to the party location, and arrive there on time, excited for the night ahead. Now imagine the opposite situation: you are all ready to go, still in your drop-dead outfit, carrying that bottle of champagne, but you get in your car and do not set your GPS. You have never been to the party before, and without knowing the location of the party (or being guided by your GPS), you end up spending your night driving around in circles, never making it to the party, and missing out on all the fun.\n\nSounds like a waste of a night, right? Although this example is fairly basic, I love how simply it explains the following idea: without having an intention of where you want to go in your life, you will never make it there.\n\nIt takes a daily practice of connecting to your goals in order to reach the destination you are aiming for. Using Peta's techniques, I began setting my daily GPS. Every morning as I drink my big cup of tea, I spend ten minutes outlining my GPS and reflecting on it. Even if I am feeling lazy or unmotivated, I force myself to do it, because I know that without a plan, I will wander aimlessly.\n\nI like to set my GPS in four boxes on a page, looking something like this:\n\nIn each box, I write:\n\nGratitudes\nGoals\nGains\nGuide\n\nI start off with Gratitudes.

My family, my business, my friends, my health, the feeling of the cool air on my skin as it rushes into the room when the instructor opens the door for a second during hot yoga class, whatever. Gratitudes are anything that you feel especially thankful for this morning. Sometimes, we wake up feeling sad, and I will be the first to admit, it is a hard feeling to break. However, rather than focusing on the bad, I encourage you to sit your butt down and write out all of the good. Seeing it on paper really helps to understand how blessed you are. And remember, what you put out into the world is what you get back. Have you heard of the Law of Attraction? I have found this time and time again to ring true, so I know that if I want to be happy, feel loved, and live the life of my dreams, then I better be talking about all of the great things in my life, putting my gratitude out there in the world so more of that delicious goodness comes into my world.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2418, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "212a46fe476f96dbb9f6913e4d6d950d0ef0a5f1", "raw_chars": 3366, "clean_chars": 2804, "edit_ratio": 0.1605, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Kristal Kerley’s hands were shaking before kickoff on Monday at Levi’s Stadium. Her husband, wide receiver Jeremy Kerley, was about to make his 49ers debut, just 15 days after arriving in a trade. It was a prime opportunity to revive a solid career that had gone south.\n\nAfter recording 182 catches in five seasons with the Jets, he was released in March. After spending five months in Detroit, he was dealt to the 49ers for a backup guard, Brandon Thomas, who remains on the Lions’ practice squad. Now, he was suddenly the 49ers’ primary slot receiver and kick returner in the season opener against the Rams. But had he adequately digested the playbook? Would he have rapport with a quarterback he just met? Would this be a bright beginning or the latest dead end?\n\n“When I first sat down, I was nervous and I was shaking a whole lot,” Kristal Kerley said. “It’s one of those things where he’s going to do good and the fans are going to love him. Or, if he makes too many mistakes, they’re going to be mad and I’m going to have my mama-bear, wifey claws out because I can’t have anybody attacking my husband.”\n\nThe good news for the Kerleys: Kristal’s claws were kept under wraps. The home fans loved Kerley, who led the 49ers in targets (11), catches (seven), and receiving yards (61) in a 28-0 win over the Rams. Kerley, who also returned two punts for 11 yards, played 54 of 81 snaps and provided one of the 49ers’ biggest offensive plays: His diving 18-yard catch on 4th-and-6 in the second quarter sustained a touchdown drive that gave the 49ers a 14-0 lead.\n\n“We picked the guy up two weeks ago and he had seven catches,” head coach Chip Kelly said. “If we picked him up last week, he’d probably have 10 if we didn’t screw him up.”\n\nYes, Kerley, who recently got a permanent nameplate over his locker, looked comfortable even though he wasn’t quite at home. He didn’t move from a hotel to his new apartment in Santa Clara until Wednesday. And he spent part of the weekend before kickoff being quizzed on his new playbook by Kristal, a former All-America sprinter at TCU whom he met in college.\n\n“I’d throw out (plays) to him,” Kristal said, “and he’d tell me where he’s supposed to move to.”\n\nOn Aug. 28, the Kerleys, who have children ages 7, 3, and 2, discovered that Jeremy would be moving to the 49ers. They heard from his agent, Jeff Nalley, who called around 8 a.m. and began by saying he had good news: Jeremy would be leaving a team that was likely to release him to play for a team that had just lost its lone viable slot receiver, Bruce Ellington, to a season-ending hamstring tear.\n\nIn addition, Nalley noted that Kelly emphasized Kerley’s position in the 49ers’ no-huddle offense.

As political organisations, the soviets would comprise representatives of factory workers' and trade union committees, but would exclude capitalists as a social class in order to ensure the establishment of a proletarian government, by and for the working class and the peasants. About the political disenfranchisement of the Russian capitalist social classes, Lenin said that \"depriving the exploiters of the franchise is a purely Russian question, and not a question of the dictatorship of the proletariat, in general. [...] In which countries [...] democracy for the exploiters will be, in one or another form, restricted [...] is a question of the specific national features of this or that capitalism\". In chapter five of The State and Revolution (1917), Lenin describes the dictatorship of the proletariat as such:\n\n[...] the organisation of the vanguard of the oppressed as the ruling class for the purpose of crushing the oppressors. [...] An immense expansion of democracy, which for the first time becomes democracy for the poor, democracy for the people, and not democracy for the rich [...] and suppression by force, i.e. exclusion from democracy, for the exploiters and oppressors of the people—this is the change which democracy undergoes during the 'transition' from capitalism to communism.\n\nAbout democracy, Lenin further stated the following in The State and Revolution:\n\nDemocracy for the vast majority of the people, and suppression by force, i.e. exclusion from democracy, of the exploiters and oppressors of the people—this is the change democracy undergoes during the transition from capitalism to communism.\n\nSoviet constitutionalism was the collective government form of the Russian dictatorship of the proletariat, the opposite of the government form of the dictatorship of capital (privately owned means of production) practised in bourgeois democracies. In the soviet political system, the (Leninist) vanguard party would be one of many political parties competing for elected power. Nevertheless, the circumstances of the Red vs. White Russian Civil War and terrorism by the opposing political parties and in aid of the White Armies' counter-revolution led to the Bolshevik government banning other parties, thus the vanguard party became the sole, legal political party in Russia. Lenin did not regard such political suppression as philosophically inherent to the dictatorship of the proletariat, yet the Stalinists retrospectively claimed that such factional suppression was original to Leninism.\n\nEconomics", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2430, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "6cc96c1610cafe2c7c19c8ec69b682d90d5824bc", "raw_chars": 1843, "clean_chars": 2020, "edit_ratio": 0.7577, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Corruption can be viewed as a logical response to government failure, a perspective emphasized by Samuel Huntington in his seminal 1968 book.

According to the latest Doing Business report, completing all import procedures in Ivory Coast takes an average of more than nine days, or 215 hours. In 2016, the country was ranked 142nd out of 189 nations.\n\nThe policy response to these challenges is straightforward: reduce import duties, simplify procedures, and promote accountability through greater access to information and data. In Singapore, for example, Celestin would have paid a general sales tax of 7 percent and an average customs duty of only 1 percent. In Mauritius, the value-added tax rate is 15 percent, and the highest customs duty is also 15 percent. To reduce disputes over the value of goods, Seychelles has introduced a flat fee for all personal imports valued at less than $300. Additionally, effective controls, audits, and the publication of names of offenders from both the private and public sectors can reinforce the fear of sanctions. Posting complaints on social media can also serve as a deterrent. In all these countries, the level of corruption is low, as reflected in their rankings on the World Bank Governance indicators, and their customs revenues have increased over time as individuals like Celestin have more incentives to purchase gifts from other countries.\n\nThis blog reflects the personal opinion of the author and not of the World Bank Group.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2433, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "53ad6cc3a01d1ee89cc700a13106112f4bfb89c2", "raw_chars": 1834, "clean_chars": 1903, "edit_ratio": 0.4493, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Hwang told a cabinet meeting on Tuesday that the alliance requires cooperation from neighboring countries, such as China, to put pressure on North Korea.

Here, I would be more cautious, since unlike in the case of diet and activity, we do not have decisive evidence for the advantages of those choices. However, we also lack evidence that there is anything wrong with them. Given that they are part of the deep human past, and pending further study, parents should be left alone to make their own decisions.\n\nAnother point is clear from the evolutionary record: mothers have never done the job of child-rearing alone. Among primates, only humans provide for their young after weaning. As Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, a professor emerita of anthropology at the University of California at Davis, demonstrated in her book Mothers and Others: The Evolutionary Origins of Mutual Understanding (Harvard University Press, 2009), this required the support of grandmothers, fathers, and others. We should think of the natural human adaptation for child-rearing as one in which mothers are central but have large amounts of support.\n\nEvolutionary thinking is particularly useful in illuminating our view of childhood in the realm of facultative adaptation—a sort of \"if then\" proposition built into our genes. Evolution and genes sometimes dictate that something must always be a certain way, but often they suggest that if an organism is in a specific environment, it should respond with one adaptation, but if in a very different context, respond with another. Sometimes the consequences are dire for children. Martin Daly and Margo Wilson, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, have shown that abuse and neglect, up to and including killing children, are almost 100 times more likely in households with an adult male who is not genetically related to the child. Nothing could make it clearer that evolutionary explanations must be kept completely separate from moral and legal judgments. Yet this well-established fact about violence committed against children, independent of socioeconomic status and shown across national boundaries, should lead us to new ways of thinking about abuse prevention. These approaches can be subtle, not draconian, but they should recognize the facts.\n\nFrom the viewpoint of the child, early life experience may serve as an important signal to understand her environment. The lack of trust that most psychologists believe stems from unstable nurturance can also be thought of, from an evolutionary perspective, as an adaptive response to a situation that is at best unpredictable. The adaptation may even include maturing and initiating sexual activity earlier. That need not constrain us to accept such harsh environments as inevitable, much less to condone the conditions that give rise to them. But since they do exist, we should adopt a more positive view of childhood adaptation in less-than-favorable circumstances. Respecting children rather than pathologizing them, or even while trying to help with their pathology, can in some cases be a good thing.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2445, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "c63b5cd13a21fdc178a3529102e8b2d43511c6d9", "raw_chars": 1237, "clean_chars": 1161, "edit_ratio": 0.2994, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Even though broker Elizabeth Gallops' office felt like \"Grand Central Station\" on Monday, she was not happy with the decision to extend the deadline.

With the structural integrity of the iPhone 6 Plus likely being discussed at the highest levels of government, gathering evidence on device durability has become a pressing matter.\n\nLewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy, the creator of the viral \"bend test\" that first shocked the public, has returned with a more comprehensive demonstration. This time, he tested the standard iPhone 6 against stiff competition, including the HTC One M8, the Nokia Lumia 1020, and the Moto X. These comparisons address complaints that inserting the iPhone 6 into slim-fit pockets can cause warping.\n\nWhen Hilsenteger applied pressure, he identified a small dent in the iPhone 6, though he claimed it was far less bendable than the 6 Plus. While it is impossible to know if he used precisely the same force as in previous tests, he insisted that the smaller size of the phone contributed to its additional sturdiness.\n\nThe HTC One M8, described as \"really rather gorgeous,\" cracked under pressure. The sound of loose glue permeated the air, and the screen emerged slightly detached from its casing. In contrast, Hilsenteger found the Moto X to be \"solid,\" standing firm and unbending like a guard outside Buckingham Palace. This durability made the Moto X the biggest surprise of the test.\n\nThe Nokia Lumia 1020 made some cracking noises and showed slight movement, but not enough to cause alarm. Pedantic observers might note that these specific units may not represent the entire production run, potentially varying based on manufacturing conditions. Additionally, it is unclear if Hilsenteger's strength diminished after extensive testing, or if the pressures of fame sapped his energy.\n\nDespite the entertainment value, the idea of sitting in a bar and bending one's phone until it makes noises or its screen pops out should quickly pass. This is no way to accompany a decent glass of sauvignon blanc or an average craft beer. Regardless of which phone you own, consider its size and the size of your pockets. Treat your device wisely.

A parallel to this is the arrogant presumption on the part of heterosexual people that anyone they meet is heterosexual. The question often must be made to arise, blatantly and explicitly, before the heterosexual person will consider the thought that one is lesbian or homosexual. Otherwise, even if some doubt arises, one will be given the dubious benefit of the doubt rather than be thought \"ill\" of, that is, suspected of \"deviance.\"\n\nThe parallelism of heterosexuality and whiteness holds up in at least one more respect. In both cases there are certain members of the dominant group who systematically do not give the benefit of their doubt. They seem on the lookout for people whom they can suppose want to pass as members of their club. These are the sorts of people who are fabulously sensitive to clues that someone is Mulatto, Jewish, Indian or gay, and are eager to notify others of the person's supposed pretense of being \"normal\" or \"white\" (or whatever), though the person may have been making no pretense at all. This latter type is quite commonly recognized as a racist, anti-Semite or homophobe, while the other type, the one who \"graciously\" lets the possibly deviant/dark person pass as normal/white, is often considered a nice person and not a bigot. People of both types seem to me to be equally arrogant: both are arrogating definitional power to themselves and thereby asserting that defining is exclusively their prerogative.\n\nI think that almost all white people engage in the activity of defining membership in the group of white people in one or another of these modes, quite un-self-consciously and quite constantly. It is very hard, in individual cases, to give up this habit and await people's deciding for themselves what group they are members of.\n\nThe tendency of members of the group called white to be generously inclusive, to count as white anybody not obviously nonwhite, seems to be of a piece with another habit of members of that group, namely, the habit of false universalization. As feminists we are very familiar with the male version of this: the men write and speak and presumably, therefore, also think, as though whatever is true of them is true of everybody. White people also speak in universals. A great deal of what has been written by white feminists is limited by this sort of false universalization. Much of what we have said is accurate only if taken to be about white women and white men within white culture (middle-class white women and white men, in fact). For the most part, it never occurred to us to modify our nouns accordingly; to our minds the people we were writing about were people.

This is compounded by informational influence: the people we interact with, particularly those whose opinions and judgments we value, serve as a powerful source of information. Their views, opinions, and prejudices inevitably impact our own knowledge and beliefs. For example, if you are a fan of Star Wars and surround yourself with people who share that interest, you are likely to like the franchise even more. This happens both to gain acceptance from your new community and because you are exposed to all their reasons for why Star Wars is great.\n\nBeing accepted by a specific group is one thing, but we also want to be liked by them. Social rejection is a genuine fear for humans, so we instinctively want to make the people we like like us in return. We also judge our own status and self-worth by how we compare to group members. As a result, if everyone in your group agrees on a particular point, you tend to agree with it even more strongly. In a community of Star Wars fans, you can obtain approval and improve your status by demonstrating that you like Star Wars more than anyone else. You might learn obscure trivia or argue its merits more passionately than others. Consequently, your original view of \"I quite like Star Wars\" gradually becomes more extreme simply by virtue of being part of a like-minded group.\n\nUnfortunately, one consequence of groups exerting such influence over our identities is that any threat to the group is often perceived as a threat to ourselves. People regularly prioritize group harmony above all else. As such, anything that threatens group harmony or consensus is viewed extremely negatively. What threatens a group more than another group that disagrees with or disputes its consensus?\n\nIf you are an enthusiastic member of a Star Wars-loving community and someone wanders in to say, \"Actually, Star Trek is much better,\" that person will not have an easy time of it. They are challenging the very reason for the group's existence, so the group must be defended, and attacking that challenging view becomes a major priority. Furthermore, this presents an ideal opportunity to impress other group members and improve your standing by being the most intense and aggressive in your attack on this insolent intruder. Calm and reasoned debate rarely gets a look in.\n\nIf you have ever been part of a discussion that quickly descended into a vicious exchange of abuse, you have likely experienced this phenomenon.\n\nOur overly keen brains mean we have several factors at play: identifying with a group, wanting to be part of it, wanting to be liked by it, wanting to impress it, and wanting to defend it. All of these combine to make people more extreme in their views when part of a group, not less.\n\nStudies have shown that this can happen readily on the internet, particularly on Twitter, which is why a lot of online discourse can quickly descend into raw hostility.\n\nSadly, whereas you might hope that calm heads and objective opinions would be prioritized for things that truly matter, Group Polarization has been shown to be no less of a problem for serious issues like politics.

In fact, many of them believe there shouldn't be a minimum wage at all.\n\nThe conservative Heritage Foundation stated last April: \"The typical minimum-wage employee is a high school or college student with a part-time job, a major reason so many have attended—but not completed—college. The primary value of these jobs is not the low wages they pay today. It is the on-the-job training they provide. Minimum-wage jobs teach inexperienced workers basic employability skills such as taking directions from a boss and working with co-workers. Upon first thought, raising the minimum wage sounds compassionate. Thinking a second time shows that it would hurt the very workers its supporters want to help.\"\n\nAccording to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), \"only 11 percent of those who would see a raise are younger than age 20, and only 14 percent work less than 20 hours per week. Many are parents; if the minimum wage were increased to $10.10 by 2015, nearly a quarter (23.3 percent) of all kids in this country would see at least one parent get a raise.\" In fact, raising the minimum wage helps the economy and helps create jobs. People at the bottom of the income ladder spend their money immediately. This means local businesses need to hire because of increased demand. Their suppliers need to hire as well. A higher minimum wage also reduces the need for—and spending on—assistance programs like food stamps.\n\nMany compassionate conservatives not only oppose paying a decent wage for work, they want the minimum wage repealed. On a website called FEE, from the Foundation for Economic Education, one finds the typical conservative argument for getting rid of the minimum wage, with a dose of anti-democracy included for good measure: \"Ballot Box Charity: The minimum wage is hurting poor people and minorities one ballot initiative at a time.\" Starting with the typical false premise that raising the minimum wage costs jobs (where and when the minimum wage has been raised, jobs have increased, not decreased), the piece continues:\n\n\"These are the people who are deciding the minimum wage that workers must be paid. The vast majority haven't run a business or made a payroll. They have no desire to grapple with, or experience in grappling with, abstract ideas such as the effect of government force in the labor market. People are kind-hearted when it's not their work or business future on the line. Their hearts believe in giving everyone a raise: The people will spend more and everyone will benefit.\"\n\nNow there's your conservative compassion for ya!\n\n3. Unemployment Benefits\n\nKentucky Senator Rand Paul said recently that extending unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed would be a \"disservice\" because, he says, unemployment benefits cause unemployment. \"When you allow people to be on unemployment insurance for 99 weeks, you're causing them to become part of this perpetual unemployed group in our economy. And it really—while it seems good—actually does a disservice to the people you're trying to help.\"\n\nThis is the old \"dependency\" argument again.

Detainer-connected removals, spanning from the Secure Communities (SCOMM) program through the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP), reveal that detainer usage not only peaked early in the Obama administration but was also highest when only a relatively small proportion of jurisdictions were covered by SCOMM. It was only later that most local and state law enforcement agencies had fingerprint records they submitted to the FBI automatically shared with ICE through the SCOMM program. See TRAC April 2014 report. Even though detainer usage peaked early during the Obama years, removals resulting from detainers would not necessarily see a parallel decline. This is true for several reasons. For some individuals subject to a detainer, it could take many months or even years—given the Immigration Court's backlog—to work their way through civil proceedings and actually be ordered deported. For others, deportation might be delayed until individuals finished serving their prison sentence if they were convicted of committing a serious crime. Further, the expanded coverage of SCOMM gave ICE a greatly increased volume of fingerprint records to review, allowing it to refine and perhaps better target how and when detainers were used. This might lead to a higher proportion that resulted in an actual deportation. A more detailed comparison - month-by-month—covering October 2012 through December 2015—highlights the role of detainers starting when SCOMM became fully functional in nearly all communities, and ending thirteen months after the announcement that the SCOMM program was being replaced by Homeland Security's Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) . See Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 plots the actual number of removals, while Figure 5 shows these trends as a proportion of ICE removals from the interior of the country. As before, both detainers and notices are included in these plots.\n\nFigure 4 shows ICE deportations with prior detainer by month. Both graphs show a similar pattern of decline, with a modest temporary upsurge starting the month before the official announcement of SCOMM's replacement by PEP. After this upsurge, however, the plots show that once the new priorities PEP ushered in became fully operational, these declines resumed again.\n\nFigure 5 displays the percent of ICE interior deportations with prior detainer by month. Improvements in ICE Transparency Needed Despite TRAC's new findings, additional unanswered questions remain. First, these findings focus on trends at the national level. There is no geographic breakdown because ICE did not release the needed geographic data. Further, with President Trump's new executive orders, an even wider range of information is now needed to monitor how these policies will be implemented. However, the outlook for public access to the information required to monitor the detainer program is not promising. A recent and dramatic change in ICE FOIA policies occurred in the waning months of the Obama Administration. These changes in FOIA policies appear to be designed to drastically restrict the already limited flow of data the agency releases to the public. Fields of information that ICE had routinely provided to TRAC in response to its regular monthly FOIA requests recently started getting left off the files TRAC received without explanation.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2528, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4d31b2d6d6e53a15f7a0eb1908f13e6d35d19fbd", "raw_chars": 904, "clean_chars": 906, "edit_ratio": 0.0088, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Minnesota’s best hop bomb is hitting store shelves this week.

It was mixed and mastered by co-producer Steve Evetts, who previously worked with Sepultura on the \"Nation\" (2001), \"Revolusongs\" (2002), and \"Roorback\" (2003) albums, in addition to having collaborated with Robinson on a number of other projects in the past.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2535, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "c505bf33955b5a895d7bd029e1400a8783953f95", "raw_chars": 2984, "clean_chars": 3066, "edit_ratio": 0.275, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The G3 and M8 have wildly different button layouts, raising the question of whether users prefer controls on the top and side or on the back. When Alex first saw the LG G2's rear buttons, his initial reaction was to assume it was a gimmick, with LG being different for the sake of being different. He didn't spend much time with the G2, but within an hour of using its successor, the G3, something just clicked, and back buttons started making sense. They are easy to reach, located in a natural place for left- and right-handed users, and they free up space on the sides of the device. It is one of those features that sounds crazy until you try it. Within an hour of using the LG G3, back buttons just made sense. Alex is not opposed to more traditional button layouts, but he finds the power button on the M8, situated way up on the top edge of the device, to be one of the more difficult to reach. Fortunately, both the G3 and the M8 have ways of powering themselves on without the use of a power button. HTC calls it Motion Launch, while on the G3 it is KnockOn.\n\nPhil thinks it is insane and that it will never work, questioning the idea of buttons on the back of a phone. But he acknowledges that it works, and it works very well. Part of that is because of LG's Knock On and Knock Code, which means you do not have to use the power button nearly as often. In fact, tapping the display to wake it will spoil you for just about every other device afterward. Moving the volume rocker back there along with it works fine, too. It is important to remember that there is some added functionality, as they serve as shortcuts to Q Memo and the camera. KnockOn is good, but it will never work 100 percent of the time.\n\nAndrew may be forever scarred from trying to use the horribly designed Verizon LG G2 back buttons, but he still does not get the appeal here. Sure, it lets LG make the bezels on the G3 just that much slimmer, but he still finds it to be an unnecessary usability hindrance. He suggests putting the power and volume buttons on the side, making the screen 5.3 inches instead, and you will never have a single hassle turning the phone on and off. KnockOn is good, but it will never work 100 percent of the time. KnockOff is even more bothersome since you need a blank spot on your homescreen or to reach up to the status bar. He pleads with LG to put the buttons back where they belong.\n\nJerry said it with the G2, and the LG Flex, and he will say it again: buttons on the back are the bomb. They take a bit of getting used to, but once your brain and muscle memory is dialed in, everything seems much more natural. His index finger feels at home perched on the buttons, which means adjusting the volume or using the quick shortcuts is easy for him. Having said that, when using a more traditional button placement scheme, he still prefers the power button up top. When he wants to turn the screen on or off, he knows where to do it from, and being way up there on the M8 means he is not always bumping it like he does when they are placed on the side.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2550, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c17592a571fa1b50717a5433db2c8c1ad7c1349a", "raw_chars": 1076, "clean_chars": 1076, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Pellegrini stated that if City do not claim a trophy, the season will be seen as a failure. “For me a good season with a big team is that you must win a title,” he said.\n\n“You cannot say it is a very good season if you win nothing.

Zinke, a former commander at the elite Navy SEAL Team Six, made these remarks during an interview with Matt Boyle, host of Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot Radio Channel 125.\n\nMedical centers operated by President Barack Obama’s Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have faced intense criticism over the past year for maintaining long wait lists for veterans in need of essential care. Tragically, some veterans died while waiting for treatment.\n\nCongress’s only Navy SEAL veteran, who spent 23 years defending the United States, recently endorsed Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.\n\n“I strongly endorse Donald Trump because we need a president that will put our veterans in front of the line rather than watch them die while in line,” Zinke declared on Breitbart News Saturday. “There’s a difference and the VA is broke.”\n\n“We need a businessman [like Trump] who’s not going to accept business as usual in Washington,” added the Montana Republican.\n\nZinke pointed out that the problem with Veterans Health Administration hospitals lies in “layers of bureaucracy getting into a system” that treats veterans “as a number” rather than human beings. He clarified, however, that “not every veteran clinic is bad.”\n\nIn October, Trump unveiled a plan to reform the veterans health care system.\n\n“We’re going to take care of those wounded warriors and we’re going to take care of our vets better than anybody,” the Republican candidate proclaimed when announcing his proposal in Norfolk, Virginia, a city with a sizable military population.\n\n“The plan will ensure our veterans get the care they need, wherever and whenever they need it,” he added.\n\nEarlier this week, VA Secretary Robert McDonald faced sharp rebukes from both Democrats and Republicans for downplaying the fatal impact of wait times at VA medical centers by comparing them to lines at Disney theme parks. Trump condemned McDonald for making those comments.\n\n“I don’t agree with 100 percent of what Donald Trump says, but I agree…100 percent [that] we need to shake it up,” said Rep. Zinke, who served as deputy and acting commander of U.S. Special Forces in Iraq. “The status quo is not working and I believe that Donald Trump is going to be a phenomenal president.”\n\nRepublicans “had 17 candidates [at the beginning of the presidential election] and they were quality candidates,” the congressman added. “Every one of those candidates was capable of assuming the responsibility of being the president and at the end of the day… the candidate who won is the shake-it-up candidate.”\n\nIndividual freedoms and the U.S. Constitution are in danger of being trampled, warned Zinke.\n\n“We could lose this country,” he told Breitbart News Saturday.\n\nHowever, he added that Trump can steer the country in the right direction, noting that the problems facing the U.S. are “fixable.”\n\n“Let me give you some good news, the next president is still going to inherit the strongest military ever assembled in the history of mankind,” Zinke said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2548, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3339bcc0f5bb245c89c6a68f41716ca7b761fb71", "raw_chars": 3319, "clean_chars": 3321, "edit_ratio": 0.0021, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At this point, critics of a free market may see this as an argument against the competition and branding of dangerous products. This would, however, be a hasty critique.\n\nPartially as a result of the Vietnam War, heroin became a popular drug in the United States in the 1970s. Smugglers began mass exporting this high-grade heroin to the United States, so that by the mid-1970s, the Golden Triangle of Indo-China was responsible for 70 percent of the world’s opium supply.\n\nBlack-Market Drugs Are More Dangerous\n\nIn The Economics of Prohibition, Mark Thornton explains in detail why prohibited substances see higher degrees of potency than licit substances. According to what was later termed “The Iron Law of Prohibition,” making an intoxicant illegal will obviously not do away with the product, but it will incentivize the supply of only the most powerful forms of the substance. During alcohol prohibition, for example, strong liquors became relatively more common compared to beer, and the trend reversed after the repeal of the 18th Amendment.\n\nTwo important reasons for this phenomenon are that the relative cost of the higher grade of a drug is lower when there is a uniform increase in cost applied to all grades. This may be something like an excise tax or transportation costs. As a result, consumers in this area will demand more of the higher-grade item. Second, when smuggling, anything with a higher value-to-weight ratio will be more profitable for smugglers, which clearly applies to higher-potency drugs.\n\nThe real danger in this is that these phenomena apply to the transaction between the smuggler and the domestic distributor of the drugs, rather than the consumer. In a country in which heroin is illegal, such as the United States, the domestic distributor is the person who will purchase the high-potency drugs. Before they sell them to consumers, though, they “cut” the drugs with other substances to dilute them and increase profit margins.\n\nWhere prohibition enforcement is higher, it is increasingly difficult to establish brand consistency. This may happen in the case of a trusted dealer (think of the scene from Pulp Fiction in which John Travolta’s character is negotiating a heroin trade). But when a consumer has to obtain their product from a new dealer, the product knowledge from the first dealer is necessarily obsolete. This is something unseen when a consumer shifts from purchasing Heinz ketchup at Kroger to purchasing it at Wal-Mart, where brands can be established and maintained.\n\nThe logical result of this practice of distributors importing high-potency heroin and then diluting it before resale is that consumers have no way of knowing what consistency of heroin they are purchasing; they are unable to economize on brand knowledge. This has a significantly negative impact on the rate of overdose.\n\nIt is a common misconception that heroin addicts will inject higher and higher amounts of heroin, chasing their high, until they eventually overdose. The reality that has been observed since countries like Portugal and Switzerland have decriminalized narcotics is that heroin addicts will increase consumption up to a certain point at which their usage stabilizes and then eventually they typically (contrary to popular perception) reduce their own consumption voluntarily.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2552, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "39ea4bb408baed54715a3d94cfc56d9dba3c26dc", "raw_chars": 2990, "clean_chars": 2946, "edit_ratio": 0.3555, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "That being said, I think Paul Clement is among the leading figures in the Department of Justice and is highly respected, but the clip you just played reflects some of the troubles that some people have with him.

We do not simply buy ketchup; we must choose between regular, organic, reduced-sugar, low-sodium, and countless other variations. Equally important, we must choose between brands like Heinz, Hunts, and Great Value. John Henry Heinz was the first person to associate his name with the unadulterated processed foods he produced, allowing his product to be distinguished from competitors.\n\nEconomically, name brands serve an important function. In Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell explains that brand names \"are a way of economizing on scarce knowledge, and forcing producers to compete in quality as well as price.\" There may be no physical difference between Heinz and Great Value, and a consumer who believes this is the case will purchase the cheaper product. However, if a consumer is not familiar with the lesser-known brand, they must weigh the cost benefit of a cheaper option against the risk of getting an inferior product. With a brand-name product, the quality is more certain.\n\nThis has important implications for the black market. In the Soviet Union, for example, brands were eliminated to reduce the heterogeneity of products. Soviet citizens circumvented this by learning to read barcodes to identify which products were produced in superior factories.\n\nBranding has particularly important implications in the area of narcotics. When goods are made illegal, smugglers will continue to trade them, but the ability to establish brand consistency is suppressed. It would require a producer to survive the illicit trade long enough to establish a reputation, find a means of conveying information in the absence of open and legitimate advertising, and create some enforcement mechanism for distributors to prevent the alteration of the product.\n\nAttempts to economize on knowledge have been made in the black market, though. During the Vietnam War, Laotian General Ouana Rattikone ran a successful international opium ring. He produced \"No. 3 heroin,\" which undergoes three processing phases and normally has a purity of between 20 and 40 percent. His heroin, however, was consistently near 50 percent pure. Because this was a consistent, higher-quality good, Rattikone established the trademark \"999\" for his heroin (taken from the 99.9 gold standard). Although his actual heroin was not 99.9 percent pure, the brand name was still associated with a specific quality of heroin that buyers were able to trust.\n\nThe competitive response to this was to start producing higher-purity heroin. \"No. 4 heroin\" requires an additional processing phase that is dangerous and needs more skilled drug chemists to produce, but it yields heroin with purity levels above 80 percent. As long as Rattikone maintained his established business practice, his 999 brand would eventually be seen as the identifier of low-quality heroin in a market of higher-purity No. 4.\n\nRattikone did adapt successfully, though. He established his own refineries for No. 4 heroin, and by the early 1970s, he owned the largest No. 4 refinery in Indo-China. With this new product, he established the brand \"Double UOGlobe\" or, \"Double Lion Earth Brand\" for the Chinese. Under the brand labels were warnings for consumers to \"Beware of Counterfeits\" and advertising 100 percent purity.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2561, "chunk_idx": 14, "raw_sha1": "6ebf290cb49e8d371a95bfd607a59a76a4c35ace", "raw_chars": 2880, "clean_chars": 2817, "edit_ratio": 0.0325, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The report attached an L-3 computer forensics study indicating that it had recovered 66,503 images produced by LANrev from instances in which the school chose to activate the covert webcam snapshot and screenshot feature.

On February 19, the district issued a further statement to parents clarifying that this included tracking down a loaner computer that might have been taken off campus in violation of regulations.

In a joint statement in July 2010, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office announced that they would work as a team with the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, Montgomery County detectives, and the Lower Merion Police Department to determine if any crimes were committed. FBI agents reviewed the school district's computers and thousands of images secretly captured from students' computers, interviewed district employees, and reviewed district records.\n\nThe Montgomery County District Attorney and Lower Merion detectives also launched an investigation to see if any criminal laws were broken, including wiretap and privacy laws. District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman stated that they were inundated with calls from community members asking about the situation, and it became clear that further investigation was necessary.\n\nThe civil lawsuit had a much lower burden of proof and was unaffected by the criminal investigation's outcome. Lower Merion Police Superintendent Michael McGrath noted that the matter appeared to be one to be resolved in civil court.\n\nA U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing was held on March 29, 2010, by Arlen Specter, the U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs, to investigate the use of computers to spy on students. Specter described the issue as one of surreptitious eavesdropping, noting that people's movements and activities were under surveillance without their knowledge. He argued that existing wiretap and video-voyeurism statutes do not address today's widespread use of cellphones, laptops, and surveillance cameras. After hearing testimony from Blake Robbins and others, Specter concluded that new federal legislation was needed to regulate electronic privacy. He introduced legislation to clarify that it is illegal to capture silent visual images inside a person's home, calling it a significant invasion of privacy.\n\nSpecter emphasized that while people expect video surveillance when they leave their homes—at ATMs, traffic lights, or in stores—they do not expect surveillance in their homes, bedrooms, or for their children within their homes.\n\nThe incident also had other ramifications. A Facebook page titled \"LMSD is Watching You\" was started and quickly gained hundreds of members. Parody T-shirts were also sold online, including one featuring the ominous red camera eye of HAL 9000 from the science fiction movie \"2001: A Space Odyssey\" inside the school district's circular logo. Both The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times reported that Blake Robbins, with a mop of brown hair and clad in a black T-shirt and jeans, smiled when told that the lawsuit had earned him a Wikipedia page.\n\nThe litigation also prompted a \"What's Wrong With People?\" segment on the Dr. Phil show.

Purchase and Krenzler report that the oncologist treating Mykayla \"blew up on us\" upon learning about the cannabis use, causing the doctor-patient relationship to become so strained that they requested a new provider. Neither the girl's new oncologist nor her previous doctor returned phone calls from The Daily Beast.\n\nThe couple, who work as a handyman and a hemp jewelry maker respectively, also say they have received vile emails from people declaring them unfit parents who deserve jail time. \"I hope they never have to be who I am,\" Purchase says. \"I hope they never have to feel what I'm having to feel, what she's having to feel. I'm not drugging my child. I use this for her medicine. It's amazing, and I think people should know that.\"\n\nDespite the backlash, the couple has discovered an overwhelming show of support from across the country. The number of \"likes\" on Mykayla's Facebook page has tripled in recent weeks to 5,000. A call for donations to help the couple replace their broken-down car reached $2,000 last week, just a few days after the \"Fairy Godparent Car Rally\" began.\n\nOne of Mykayla's roommates gives her $1 every time she drinks a shot of \"cannabis juice,\" a liquid derived from the plant that has no intoxicating effects because it is not heated, though it is unpalatable. Mykayla says she is saving those dollars for a \"Build-A-Bear\" she is making for her 17-month-old sister, Ryleigh.\n\nSupporters of Mykayla's cannabis use do so either because they have long believed in the plant's healing powers or because they are aware of mounting medical evidence showing that marijuana's \"cannabinoids\" do more than help with generalized pain, nausea, and diminished appetite. Research indicates they can slow cancer growth by inhibiting the formation of new blood cells that feed tumors. Some of Purchase and Krenzler's critics are upset that they do not treat the girl exclusively with cannabis, but the couple is not willing to go that far.\n\nHowever, there is also research suggesting that marijuana use can have negative effects, especially among those who begin using the drug before age 18. A Duke University survey of more than 1,000 individuals at various ages found that \"persistent cannabis use\" among young people was associated with \"neuropsychological decline.\"\n\nPurchase and Krenzler remain unbowed. They say their daughter is not addicted to cannabis and that she will only use it as long as it is necessary, such as during chemotherapy or when suffering from other qualifying medical conditions. They state they never would have given her the drug in the first place were it not authorized by the state program, as doing so would be illegal and could threaten Purchase's custody agreement.

Everyone, from the production crew to the hair and makeup artists, was speaking in hushed tones, even though the action was taking place in a separate room. This was because they were actually shooting in the Wong Fu Productions office, where a corner of the space—typically a standard workspace with desks and computers—had been transformed into a mock college dorm room. The set included actual walls, a microwave, a bed, and other furnishings. The door to the room was propped open to accommodate the camera and to prevent the set from becoming too hot.\n\n\"The way we do things is pretty unconventional,\" said Philip Wang, who co-founded Wong Fu with college friends Wesley Chan and Ted Fu. \"I like to say it's resourceful.\"\n\nWong Fu, which got its start in 2003 and quickly gained a strong following with the growing popularity of its YouTube channel (which now has over two million subscribers), is no stranger to long days of shooting. What is different this time around is the length of time spent on one particular project. \"Now, we just kind of have this mentality of like, 'Hey, it's just like we're just making 20 shorts, all in a row,'\" Wang said. \"We do that anyways throughout a year. Now it's just condensing it all into one.\"\n\nWong Fu is in a unique position as an independent production company for a few reasons. The trio had already begun making popular videos before YouTube came along, passing them around through download links on their website and fans' instant messenger profiles, and were able to take advantage of the viral potential afforded by the new platform. Notably, they feature a primarily Asian-American cast in their shorts and attribute much of their success to a largely Asian-American viewership eager to see themselves represented in the media. Wong Fu produces character-based short films, which Wang believes is distinct from the typical viral videos that attract views through shock value or cuteness.\n\nIn March, Wong Fu raised $358,308 on Indiegogo for their movie, making their project the fourth-best funded film on the crowdfunding website at the time.\n\nThe film's plot focuses on two couples at different stages of their relationships, set in a world where \"all relationship activity is documented and monitored by the Department of Emotional Integrity (DEI)\" and is assigned a number like a credit score. The young couple featured in the video above is played by Victoria Park and Brandon Soo Hoo. The rest of the principal cast includes a mix of familiar names and new faces: Randall Park, Ki Hong Lee, Chris Riedell, Aaron Yoo, Joanna Sotomura, and Brittany Ishibashi.\n\nThe scene I witnessed was a tense moment because, for the first time in their relationship, the two had to learn to deal with the challenges of a long-distance relationship. \"No one was wrong in that argument,\" said Chan, who co-directed the movie with Wang. \"We want you to side with both of the characters. That's one of the real life, relatable elements we wanted to include—that a lot of times, when we argue, there's no right or wrong.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2583, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "77d7929b8fb1e8f120cea1287d5dcbe74adb7802", "raw_chars": 3463, "clean_chars": 3208, "edit_ratio": 0.4316, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Obama administration sent a clear message on Friday: if anyone is to blame for the slowdown in the US economy, it is Congress.\n\nBoth President Barack Obama and Labor Secretary Tom Perez pointed to congressional inaction on issues such as the budget and transportation infrastructure as reasons why the US economy was not growing at a faster pace. Their statements were part of a reaction to a worse-than-expected jobs report released on Friday morning. The report showed that the US economy added fewer jobs in September than expected, casting doubts over whether the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates before the year's end.\n\nObama highlighted the broader context of the recovery, noting that the US economy has seen \"67 straight months of job creation, 13.2 million new jobs in all and an unemployment rate that has fallen from a high of 10% down to 5.1%.\" He added, \"These long-term trends are obviously good news particularly for every American waking up each morning and heading to a new job. But we would be doing even better if we didn't have to keep on dealing with the unnecessary crises in Congress every few months.\"\n\nObama emphasized that this is especially important right now because, although the American economy has been chugging along at a steady pace, much of the global economy has softened. He said part of the reason US job growth has slowed is due to this global slowdown, which has affected US exports and made the US economy skittish. As such, the US does not need another manufactured crisis, such as attempting to avoid a government shutdown in December.\n\n\"I will not sign another short-sighted spending bill like the one Congress sent me this week. We purchased ourselves 10 additional weeks, we need to use them effectively,\" Obama said, referring to the short-term extension passed by Congress. \"Congress has to do its job. We can't flirt with another shutdown. It should pass a serious budget.\"\n\nJohn Boehner, the outgoing speaker of the House, also believes the US economy can do better. However, he blamed the slowed economic growth on the White House. \"Too many middle-class families are still struggling in this economy, and we can do a lot better,\" Boehner said. \"There is no excuse for the president to continue pushing an agenda that will hurt hardworking families and stifle economic growth.\"\n\nPerez admitted that September's job growth \"didn't meet our high expectations\" and that the US could do better, but said it was up to Congress to fix the situation. The Obama administration has a laundry list of ways that Congress can improve the US economic outlook, he said, including acting immediately to pass a transportation infrastructure bill and providing relief from \"the sequestration straightjacket.\"\n\n\"Those are the things that create jobs. I am confident that there is bipartisan support, there is majority support in both houses of Congress to do all of those things and they need to act immediately,\" Perez told the Guardian. \"I am hopeful. Speaker [John] Boehner as he prepares to depart indicated that he wants to leave a clean barn for his successor and a clean barn would mean passing all these initiatives because that's how you create jobs.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2587, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d03b27b535f587e9e6a5ca1051bf2f75e6900cb7", "raw_chars": 3374, "clean_chars": 2982, "edit_ratio": 0.7407, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Dear Boards,\n\nMy apologies if you have already come across a similar post from yesterday. I initially compiled some text and videos into a post, assuming it would be as well-received as the first post on this playing card topic. I was wrong, and I hope you will forgive me for this somewhat repetitive post.\n\nHowever, a lot of things I didn't cover previously actually took quite some work. For those with more important things to do: two weeks ago, I showed a deck of playing cards I made using League of Legends splash art. I received some useful feedback and many requests on where to buy the cards. With that in mind, I got to work.\n\nThe result is a fairly new deck design and a complete website where you can find out more about the deck as well as a place to have them printed yourself. Below, I want to show you exactly that.\n\nHow is this possible? You are selling League of Legends content; that's illegal!\n\nThe definitive design.\n\nA complete website, all for you!\n\nHow is this possible?\n\nAfter I posted my first concept on the forums, someone asked if I would be allowed to sell these cards. An official Riot employee (RiotSargonas) responded, indicating that I could not sell it. At first glance, that would make it impossible to get these cards out for the community. Fortunately, I am an ignorant little brat who doesn't give up that easily, so I did the following: The company that prints these cards allows you to sell your design. The price of this design can be set to +10, +20, +30, +40, or +50 percent of the printing costs. Since 0 wasn't an option, that wasn't an option either. Unless... yea, you've guessed it, I contacted the company and asked if they could please enable the option to 'sell designs' with a 0 percent profit margin. Surprisingly, they fulfilled my wishes, making it possible for me to 'sell' my design for nothing. This means that if you order a deck of cards with my design on it, you would pay just as much as if you had made and uploaded the design yourself. I'm basically giving out the design for free, which is allowed.\n\nWhat's the design?\n\nLast time, I showed a few of the fronts and the back design. I'll just do that again. Spades: [Image link]. Diamonds: [Image link]. Clubs: [Image link]. Hearts: [Image link]. I had to change a few things due to community input. Thanks to your input, we now have Caitlyn on the Ace of Spades, Jhin on the four of Spades, Vi on the six of Hearts, and Trundle on the King of Clubs. Besides that, I removed Urgot; how harsh it may sound, he's just too ugly. I also changed a lot of the splash art due to bad lighting. The champions, however, remain. There are now two versions: a blue back design and the original brown back design. I would love to show how the cards handle, but I'm not really good at that. This video is the best I could do...

Generally, this is a matter of convention. Structure is nearly synonymous with aiming for the cheap seats of genre, where the detective, the wizard, and the submissive sit together and watch the game. We’ve come to regard suspense as a market force—an outline in chalk with which to take ingenious exception. As a result, we are flush with cool hybrids. MacArthur fellows take on zombies; Ursula K. Le Guin gatekeeps Kazuo Ishiguro; a market for post-apocalyptic fiction is in full bloom. But whenever much attention is paid to exceptions to the rule, one can only assume the rules are very clear. I am speaking of genre, but also rent. Writing to market or furiously curating a social media platform are seen as considerations on the level of food on the table. A cottage industry in semi-professional writing has met popular and extremely earnest demand. In this sense, horoscopic style is both a product and an allergy to the \"tools\" of the craft industry, such as links to a \"weak verb converter\" or intensive three-day seminars for the low, low price of $995 for tuition and Final Draft software.\n\nIf our entertainments were piles of San Andrean rubble, wouldn’t we know? Perhaps, but structure has a way of passing itself off as an answer to the very question it presents—it is what works. \"You can build a structure in such a way that it causes people to want to keep turning pages,\" McPhee writes. And the other way?\n\n\"Listeners, we are currently fielding numerous reports that books have stopped working.\"\n\n— Welcome to Night Vale, \"Station Management\"\n\n\"Fiction is the posing of narrative questions,\" is actually something the writer David Lipsky has said aloud on multiple occasions. Lipsky teaches a class of singular usefulness, from which I basically repeat back lessons in a dazed monotone. Men call him Lipsky, and women call him David. We were of one mind to get a good seat, and another to duck and scribble. In class, Lipsky calls on people, a barbaric pedagogic practice literally frowned upon by most of us, and what’s more, there was a preponderance of correct answers—never a drawing. The idea was that story—or, synonymously, structure—is no more and no less than asking the reader leading questions in the hopes of interesting them. Will a given character be fired, loved, caught, or absolved? In the end, the class was approximately half Immunes, with the other half wearing white smocks sporting one of David’s terms of art printed in bold: withheld data.\n\nNo one likes to be asked what the story’s about. But Lipsky was never referring to the \"about\" of an abstract painting or the period of a historical novel. Nothing was an allegory of post-whatsit America. He meant: a girl is trying to fit in at a private school. Or: those letters were forged.

Since the Big Ten season started, this section has been a slightly modified assertion that Team X is probably not very good, with issues up the wazoo, a resume that does not intimidate, and a reasonably tractable Vegas line. None of these things are true regarding Michigan State.

I mean, unless it's one of those high ankle sprains that never do. Jabrill Peppers is prominently listed on the depth chart, but chatter has him potentially out for the season; we'll see if the internet or the program is more truthy. My bet is on the internet.\n\nProbably Out: Delano Hill, Derrick Green, Desmond Morgan.\n\nRun Offense vs. Michigan State\n\nTaiwan Jones is going to be making a lot of tackles.\n\nThis is not the all-destroying unit of a year ago, but it is still plenty good enough to shut Michigan's arthritic run game down. MSU is currently 28th in yards per carry allowed; notably, they crushed Nebraska to the tune of 47 yards on 37 carries. Things have gone less swimmingly at other times, mostly when someone pops into the secondary and there is flailing around him. Shane Wynn broke a 75-yard reverse last weekend; Tevin Coleman added a 65-yard romp; Purdue had rushes of 52 and 36 yards. That has scuffed up last year's national-best rush defense.\n\nThe problem for Michigan is what happens on carries that don't go 30 yards. Michigan State is tied for 116th with 4 rushes of more than 50 yards allowed; they are eighth with 21 rushes for more than ten yards. The secondary biffs at a high rate on a low number of plays that break long. When they don't go a long way, they don't go anywhere unless you're Tevin Coleman. This is an obvious problem for a Michigan rush offense with three runs of 30 yards on the year, all of which came against early-season tomato cans.\n\nYou cannot run the ball consistently against Michigan State, and Michigan has no explosive capability.\n\nThe best bet for something that looks respectable is misdirection and frippery, which Michigan has gone to on occasion this year with Norfleet and Funchess; otherwise, it's going to look a lot like the Penn State game, in which Michigan was rarely caught behind the line but struggled to scratch out more than a couple yards at a time.\n\nKey Matchup: Braden, Cole, Williams, and Butt versus the MSU perimeter. The State DTs are not great, and Michigan's interior line is likely to get push here and there; it may not matter if Michigan can win blocks against the LBs and DEs.\n\nPass Offense vs. Michigan State\n\nEd Davis had 2.5 sacks last year and leads MSU with 6 this year.\n\nDevin Gardner's ribs have trembled at the coming of this day.

Right now, he isn't really considered to be \"Top Tier,\" but with the ever-shifting meta of the game, there is definite potential to be found in him. Only time will tell how useful he could be later. It is also worth noting that Bossun is featured on Giorno's banner; he is a very good unit to have for Legend Arena right now, so it's good to summon on this banner for both those units.\n\nShould I use Giorno as leader?\nHe can be a quality leader for Legend Arena. He's not game-breaking or anything, but has a nice HP-boosting multi-color lead that can make your units a little more tanky.\n\nWhat teams can I make for Giorno?\nIf you are trying to build against the current meta, then an Agile front line can be pretty interesting. Avoid using Giorno as lead if you plan to use an Agile team; use someone like Yamamoto instead.\n\nShould I use Giorno in Vs. Battle?\nRight now? Maybe. He is a little slow and isn't considered to be top brass.

I have lots of fond childhood memories around the magic of Christmas and getting presents, so given my recent philosophical changes, I wondered how I should approach this topic with my family. Now that it is the New Year, I decided to reflect upon it.\n\nLeading up to Christmas, the boys started singing and requesting Christmas songs pretty early in December, or late November. We stuck to classics such as \"Jingle Bells,\" \"Frosty the Snowman,\" \"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,\" and \"Deck the Halls.\" I was pretty amazed at their ability to learn and recite songs; this was a fun part of Christmas for sure. Daily, we would sing \"Jingle Bells\" together in the car on the way home for the day.\n\nI like to push decorating as late as possible, usually mid-December. I grew up in a house where we would get a tree a week or two before Christmas Day, and my dad would ceremoniously toss it out the front door on New Year's Day. Our decorations are quite modest, consisting of a few strings of lights outside, a small tree, and any cards received along with other decorations we have received as gifts. We don't like a lot of clutter in general, so we take a pretty minimalist approach.\n\nThe boys got one gift each and a stocking full of little toys and things from Santa. Our families have free reign to give them what they want, but we do encourage them to keep it moderate. My wife and I actually forgot to get them something specifically from us, which was our plan. That being said, the boys received more than enough gifts from family. My wife has a wonderful habit of purging toys occasionally, storing some, giving some away, and cycling previously stored toys into rotation. There is no need for more toys at any point.\n\nWhen we discussed this topic last year, before the boys were really talking, we both agreed that ideally we wouldn't even bother with the myth of Santa. We came around, thankfully, remembering the magic we each experienced as kids. Our compromise is that we agreed Santa would bring one wrapped gift per child each year, along with a stocking full of trinkets and useful items.\n\nAs rational and logical as I am, this year, feeding off of the excitement of my children, I got more into the Christmas spirit than usual. My wife and I even broke our rule of not buying gifts for each other and exchanged stockings.\n\nSince Christmas, I reached out to get some insight into some other Stoic approaches to Christmas from the Stoicism Group on Facebook. From this, my wife and I agree that moving forward we want to incorporate more charity and community spirit into the holidays, hopefully volunteering at shelters, retirement homes, or anything with people, nurturing compassion in our children.\n\nThe point of all of this is to hopefully allow my children to enjoy Christmas, but to value what we feel to be important. That is, spending time with and appreciating your family and community first, then experiencing some sense of wonder and magic. I don't want my boys having meltdowns over the newest toys or feeling entitled to receive excessive material possessions that they don't need and don't truly contribute to their long-term happiness.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2611, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "aa1834144ddaffa69e4da90e5ba1979dda6629fc", "raw_chars": 3269, "clean_chars": 3122, "edit_ratio": 0.0765, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Most vertebrates recognize their close relatives, a process known as kin recognition, either to avoid mating with them or to identify the most appropriate recipients of nepotistic behavior, or kin discrimination [1-3]. Although the benefits of kin recognition may be clear, the mechanisms by which it operates are often less evident. In primates, for instance, researchers typically credit associative social learning for the discrimination of familiar kin [2,4], but the discrimination of unfamiliar kin defies explanation via associative learning [5-7]. As sex-biased dispersal cannot consistently prevent kin encounters, particularly in long-lived species, inbreeding between unfamiliar kin remains a real threat and carries potentially disastrous fitness consequences [8-10]; consequently, mechanisms to avoid it beg explanation. Indeed, a deeper understanding of communicatory signals demands integration of 'why' questions about ultimate function with 'how' questions about proximate mechanisms [11]. As olfactory-mediated kin discrimination is gaining appreciation in other taxonomic groups [3,12,13], we propose that primates might also use odor cues to assess kinship or genetic relatedness, particularly to identify unfamiliar kin. As a first step to addressing this question, we merge biochemical and genetic analyses to test if olfactory signals offer a reliable means of kin recognition in a strepsirrhine primate, the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta).\n\nNext, we extracted from the 630 dyads those pairs involving males and females only (n = 323 MF dyads). As we could not use the Mantel test for the MF dyads alone (because the corresponding MF matrix would not have been square), we instead used a permutation test to compare the empirical correlation coefficient (Spearman's r) against a distribution of correlation coefficients generated by resampling events [37]. With this analysis, we detected a significant pattern of odor gene-covariance during both the nonbreeding (r = 0.12, P = 0.018) and the breeding (r = 0.24, P = 0.001) seasons. According to these tests, the odor-gene covariance appeared to be expressed in mixed-sex pairs throughout the year, but was stronger during the breeding season. For a more conservative analysis, we categorized the 323 MF dyads into five classes of genetic distances, which we compared using permutation tests based on class means [38]. During the nonbreeding season, the mean semiochemical distance between members of MF dyads did not vary across classes of genetic distance (all pairwise Ps > 0.05); olfactory cues in the nonbreeding season did not reflect the genetic relationship between males and females. During the breeding season, however, the mean semiochemical distances between members of MF dyads were significantly differentiated across nearly all classes (pairwise Ps < 0.001, except for class 0.3-0.4 vs. class 0.4-0.5, P = 1.0), increasing systematically with genetic distance. According to this analysis, and consistent with within-sex patterns, the olfactory cues encoding relatedness between the sexes were evident only during the breeding season.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2603, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2fbd9dfaeee3af14432e9e2dbed9e623646a2304", "raw_chars": 3420, "clean_chars": 2753, "edit_ratio": 0.8662, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "An Austrian political party has defended its decision to promote a local beer called F***ing Hell, a name derived from a village in the country and the German word for 'lite'. The extraordinary brand name was initially banned when the product was released in 2010, but the company took the dispute all the way to the European Union's trademark authority, which eventually overturned the decision.\n\nThe beer was recently promoted on the website of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria for the district of Schaerding, which neighbours F***ing. Both districts are located in the northern Austrian province of Upper Austria, and the Freedom Party stated that the promotion was a way of showing solidarity with their neighbours. The advert on the homepage leads to a website where it is possible to buy the alcohol on order from the neighbouring village of F***ing.\n\nIn 2010, the Trade Marks and Designs Registration Office of the European Union ruled that although the name might be an obscene swearword in English, in German it was simply the name of the village and a light 'hell' type of beer. The office rejected a complaint that the trade mark 'F***ing Hell' was upsetting, accusatory, and derogatory. In a statement, they noted that the word combination contained no semantic indication that could refer to a certain person or group of persons, nor did it incite a particular act. They added that it could not even be understood as an instruction that the reader should go to hell.\n\nGerman marketing executives Stefan Fellenberg, 38, and Florian Krause, 32, who own the rights to the brand name, said they had referred to the town of F***ing in their application to register it. The village of F***ing is located in Upper Austria, has a population of 104, and was founded in the 6th century by a nobleman called Lord Focko.\n\nThe recent publicity earned by the Freedom Party is likely to boost the controversial beer brand's sales, bringing money to a town that often falls victim to trophy-hunters. Franz Meindl, the village's mayor, said, 'Twelve or thirteen F***ing town signs have been stolen. We've taken to fixing them with concrete, welding and rivets.' The Bavarian towns of Kissing and Petting have the same problem, as does the eastern German town of Pissen, but so far there are no plans to name a beer after them.\n\nF***ing's unusual name is thought to derive from the sixth-century noble called Lord Focko. The first known use of the English verb in a vulgar context was in 1475. The word has also been found in a dictionary dating back to 1598 and even turns up in Shakespeare's Henry V.

As such, I would take Adrianza in a direct competition with Arias or Noonan. When it comes to someone like a healthy Brandon Hicks, whose above-average skill is raw power, I am listening. But one skill is better than none, so long as it isn't dragged down by a hitter so lousy that he isn't even talented enough to out-hit Chris Heston. I don't think Adrianza is that hitter, as explained above, but if you didn't buy that argument, I guess you don't have to buy this section either.\n\nBackup shortstops are almost always awful, which is why they are backups. Do you know who would make a great backup shortstop for the 2015 Giants? Troy Tulowitzki. He could fetch Crawford some coffee between innings, and when a lineup opening or pinch-hitting appearance came up, he could do his thing. That would be optimal.\n\nIf that is not possible, though, all of the best shortstops are spoken for. In an imaginary fantasy draft of shortstops, the ones who can hit and field are taken first. The ones who can hit and kind of field are taken next. That is followed by the ones who can field and kind of hit. The middle rounds are filled with shortstops who can kind of do one or the other. That is where the backups live.\n\nThe Cardinals have Pete Kozma, who is possibly the world's best comparison for Adrianza, except he has never hit as well in the minors. The Dodgers have Kiké Hernández, but that is because the Marlins are dingbats. The only outstanding backup shortstops are usually blocked prospects. And if the Giants released Adrianza today, they would have a lousy backup shortstop, just like 25 other teams.\n\nThis is not all to say that Adrianza is invaluable, or that he should win the backup job next year, or that it is impossible for the Giants to do better. None of that is true. He is a fringe player, and the Giants should always look to upgrade from fringe players. But if you are pretty sure he is not the worst hitter in baseball history—which is what he would be if he kept hitting like this—then he is perfectly serviceable. The real scapegoat is Brandon Crawford's oblique and the jerk who threw a baseball at his calf. Once that happened, the Giants were hosed.\n\nI mean, that bunt attempt on Monday night was the worst thing I have ever seen, and after he popped it up, I threw my aquarium on the ground, rolling around in the water, shattered glass, and dying fish, screaming about being forgotten and alone and unloved, but we are talking the big picture here.\n\nI enjoy a good scapegoat as much as the next fan.

The link between an individual's genome and its olfactory signals could be mediated by biosynthetic pathways producing polymorphic semiochemicals or by carrier proteins modifying the individual bouquet of olfactory cues. In conclusion, we unveil a possible olfactory mechanism of kin recognition that has specific relevance to understanding inbreeding avoidance and nepotistic behavior observed in free-ranging primates, and broader relevance to understanding the mechanisms of vertebrate olfactory communication.\n\nDespite deriving from different genital glands, labial and scrotal secretions shared about 170 of their respective 338 and 203 semiochemicals. In addition, these semiochemicals encoded information about genetic relatedness within and between the sexes. Although the sexes showed opposite seasonal patterns in signal complexity, the odor profiles of related individuals (whether same-sex or mixed-sex dyads) converged most strongly in the competitive breeding season. Thus, a strong, mutual olfactory signal of genetic relatedness appeared specifically when such information would be crucial for preventing inbreeding. That weaker signals of genetic relatedness might exist year-round could provide a mechanism to explain nepotism between unfamiliar kin.\n\nLike other vertebrates, primates recognize their relatives, primarily to minimize inbreeding, but also to facilitate nepotism. Although associative, social learning is typically credited for the discrimination of familiar kin, the discrimination of unfamiliar kin remains unexplained. As sex-biased dispersal in long-lived species cannot consistently prevent encounters between unfamiliar kin, inbreeding remains a threat, and mechanisms to avoid it beg explanation. Using a molecular approach that combined analyses of biochemical and microsatellite markers in 17 female and 19 male ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta), we describe odor-gene covariance to establish the feasibility of olfactory-mediated kin recognition.\n\nWe sampled 17 sexually mature females year-round, during the extended nonbreeding season and the relatively limited breeding season, following published protocols. Our comparable male data (on n = 19 adults) derived from a prior study. We used a sequential approach to determine if genital secretions encode information about relatedness within and between the sexes. For the first analysis involving all female-female (FF) dyads, we related differences in the semiochemical secretions between dyads of females to their pairwise genetic distance. This analysis is particularly relevant to examining olfactory mechanisms guiding nepotistic or competitive behavior between members of the same sex. For the second analysis involving all mixed-sex (MF) dyads, we related differences between the semiochemical secretions and pairwise distances in MM, FF, and MF dyads using a subset of semiochemicals shared by the sexes. For the last analyses of odor-gene covariance, we focused exclusively on MF dyads.

Today, via IEEE Spectrum, we are getting a glimpse at one such Microsoft Research project: a robotic, moving, interactive touchscreen.\n\nNormally, projects of this nature involve intense development cycles and the introduction of entirely new technologies. This is a rare case, however, as Microsoft Research discovered it could achieve its desired effect by simply attaching a display to a robotic arm. While the implementation is more technical than that simple description suggests, the core concept remains straightforward.\n\nThe screen is able to sense the intensity of a user's touch and react accordingly. In a demonstration video, Mike Sinclair, a principal researcher at Microsoft Research, showcases the device's ability to create lifelike tension by pushing on virtual blocks. Each block is made from a different substance and varies in weight. Pushing on the \"metal block,\" for instance, provides much more resistance than pushing on the \"wooden block.\" The screen moves back and forth accordingly, pushing back against Sinclair's finger to simulate return force, resulting in a much more interactive touchscreen experience.\n\nThe screen is also capable of virtually mimicking the shape of an object. Sinclair demonstrates this by pushing on the rounded edges of a virtual beach ball. Each touch causes the screen to adjust itself forward or backward. According to Sinclair, this effect causes the beach ball to retain a virtual surface where it feels as if the ball is round, even though the user is aware they are touching a completely flat plane.\n\nMicrosoft has no immediate plans to commercialize this discovery, although the video does showcase how doctors could use this technology to better understand MRIs and medical scans. It could also prove to be a unique tool for entertainment purposes.

Not every anime series needs to be a subtle masterpiece of moving, insightful screenwriting. There is room on the shelf for risqué pleasures and bawdy fun. Sometimes we all just want to ogle handsome men or attractive women in skimpy outfits, or maybe we need to shout corny catchphrases as a giant robot goes through a ten-minute launch sequence. A little populist entertainment is good for the soul, but that doesn't mean that we should be willing to put up with lousy anime in order to get it. To that end, I have put together a few modest requirements for the best animated comfort food of choice. For the sake of brevity, I will be focusing on the most traditional (and most maligned) definition of fanservice: good-looking ladies or gentlemen in revealing outfits and suggestive situations.\n\nConsistency is Key\n\nThe first step in making fanservice work is to ensure that it fits reasonably well into the context of the series. Different shows can get away with different things depending on their tone and subject matter. For example, a hot springs episode is a much easier sell in a goofy romantic comedy than it would be in a super-serious war drama. Fanservice scenes are almost always a detour from the more important parts of a series, but the change of direction is less jarring when the audience can reasonably imagine the characters getting caught up in silly, raunchy antics. As long as the creators are honest with themselves about what kind of show they are making, it is not too hard to keep the tone consistent.\n\nKeeping the style and level of fanservice consistent is also important. When a show suddenly goes off the deep end after several tame episodes, the audience ends up feeling blindsided. I criticized an episode of Gourmet Girl Graffiti earlier this year for this exact problem: after half a season of odd but mild fanservice, the series abruptly tossed in a suggestive bath scene. It was hardly the most tasteless piece of animation out there, but it was way out of place in a slice of life series about girls freaking out over delicious food.\n\nUltimately, all this talk about consistency boils down to one simple idea: let the viewers know what they are getting into so they can make their best judgment about whether the show works for them. The image above is one of two title cards that appear halfway through the first episode of High School DxD, and it is easily the more restrained of the two. High School DxD is brutally honest about its intentions. It takes about two minutes for the screen to be filled with cleavage, and one of the hero's first lines is a remark about how much he likes boobs. Anyone who does not share his sentiments can safely walk away with no more than five or ten minutes down the drain. Personal taste makes a big difference with these kinds of shows, so the least that creators can do is help the audience decide whether or not to stick around.\n\nFanservice is No Excuse for a Bad Story", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2634, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b4d933980ccc2b8bb55066ebfb73a0dc874b4537", "raw_chars": 3290, "clean_chars": 3296, "edit_ratio": 0.3507, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The German team stands behind its national flag at the start of the group-stage match of the FIFA U-20 World Cup between Germany and Vanuatu in Seogwipo, South Korea, on May 26.

I don't want to see fully veiled women. Those who want that should stay in Saudi Arabia.\"\n\nGerman Integration Commissioner Aydan Ozoguz said such arguments are missing the point. \"Nobody in this country considers himself a burqa. It's shocking that such important issues are discussed in such a tone,\" she said. \"People should be given the chance to participate in society instead of being excluded by imposing rules on how to behave.

We knew he might go to jail for the assault, but thought we would have time to prepare. Instead he was just suddenly gone. I was in a tailspin. It was suffocating. I was trapped. Her comments are backed up by University of Auckland masters student Ivana Mlinac, who has just released her thesis on how the criminal justice system affects offenders' families. Ms Mlinac found children of prisoners struggle with anxiety, bullying at school and grief over losing a parent, while the family suffers from the loss of income. Those children had higher dropout rates for school and employment, over-representation in the criminal justice system, and there were detrimental effects to their health and wellbeing. An estimated 23,000 children in New Zealand are affected by a parent in prison. It's a huge, huge list of what goes on in a child's life, Ms Mlinac said. Helen was living with her fiance, his two daughters and her daughter, all aged under 8, when he was sentenced to nine months in prison for assault in 2010. The household income had gone down, but expenses went up. Helen was able to go on a benefit for herself and her daughter but could not get any financial assistance for her partner's children for six weeks. She said Work and Income eventually allowed her to add the other children to her benefit and backpaid her. She also supported her partner while he was in jail. She sent him $50 a week for phone cards and cigarettes. It used to cost $1/minute for him to call home. But the hardest part was helping the children cope. It was as birthdays came and he wasn't there, over Christmas as well. They had to do all of that without him.

These notes specifically address the process using NetApp storage, though Duncan's post also covers tools for other storage vendors, such as UberAlign from Nick Weaver.\n\nBefore starting the alignment process, ensure that the virtual machine with the misaligned VMDK is powered off and has no snapshots. Acquire the file \"mbrtools_esxi.tgz\" and SCP it to the host where the VM resides, placing it in the /tmp directory. SSH into the host, unarchive the file, and copy the resulting folder to the /opt directory. Change to the /opt/ontap directory and review the available files.\n\nNext, change to the datastore directory where the misaligned VM is located. Run the command /opt/ontap/mbrscan -flat.vmdk to verify that the VMDK is indeed misaligned. Then, execute the alignment command: /opt/ontap/mbralign -flat.vmdk. When prompted, confirm that no snapshots exist by typing 'y'. Once the operation completes—which may take some time depending on the disk size—run 'mbrscan' again to confirm that the disk is now properly aligned.\n\nFor Linux virtual machines, note that this tool can disrupt the bootloader, requiring a repair of Grub. To fix this, mount the System Rescue CD ISO to the VM before powering it on. Once the system boots, run 'grub' at the prompt. In the Grub prompt, execute 'root (hd0,0)', followed by 'setup (hd0)'.

Yet history has largely forgotten these sacrifices, which were met with broken promises of Indian independence from the British government, as noted by Shashi Tharoor.\n\nExactly a century after the \"guns of August\" boomed across the European continent, the world has been extensively commemorating that seminal event. The Great War, as it was called then, was described at the time as \"the war to end all wars.\" Ironically, the eruption of an even more destructive conflict 20 years after the end of this one meant that it is now known as the First World War. Those who fought and died in the First World War would have had little idea that there would so soon be a Second.\n\nWhile the war took the flower of Europe's youth to its premature grave, snuffing out the lives of a generation of talented poets, artists, cricketers, and others whose genius bled into the trenches, it also involved soldiers from faraway lands that had little to do with Europe's bitter traditional hatreds.\n\nThe role and sacrifices of Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, and South Africans have been celebrated for some time in books and novels, and even rendered immortal on celluloid in award-winning films like Gallipoli. Of the 1.3 million Indian troops who served in the conflict, however, you hear very little.\n\nAs many as 74,187 Indian soldiers died during the war and a comparable number were wounded. Their stories, and their heroism, have long been omitted from popular histories of the war, or relegated to the footnotes.\n\nIndia contributed a number of divisions and brigades to the European, Mediterranean, Mesopotamian, North African, and East African theatres of war. In Europe, Indian soldiers were among the first victims who suffered the horrors of the trenches. They were killed in droves before the war was into its second year and bore the brunt of many a German offensive.\n\nIt was Indian jawans (junior soldiers) who stopped the German advance at Ypres in the autumn of 1914, soon after the war broke out, while the British were still recruiting and training their own forces. Hundreds were killed in a gallant but futile engagement at Neuve Chappelle. More than 1,000 of them died at Gallipoli, thanks to Churchill's folly. Nearly 700,000 Indian sepoys (infantry privates) fought in Mesopotamia against the Ottoman Empire, Germany's ally, many of them Indian Muslims taking up arms against their co-religionists in defence of the British Empire.\n\nThe most painful experiences were those of soldiers fighting in the trenches of Europe. Letters sent by Indian soldiers in France and Belgium to their family members in their villages back home speak an evocative language of cultural dislocation and tragedy. \"The shells are pouring like rain in the monsoon,\" declared one. \"The corpses cover the country, like sheaves of harvested corn,\" wrote another.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2672, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "1a15301097f3b2f3b8c0bc1cd2346aff6aa9dcbf", "raw_chars": 3348, "clean_chars": 2807, "edit_ratio": 0.3579, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Most great songs climb the charts, peak, and eventually descend into the valley of cherished classics.

The song struck a rare chord that still resonates with music fans and was adopted as a sports anthem for fans of the University of Tennessee.\n\nFor husband and wife songwriting team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, writing \"Rocky Top\" was merely a brief and refreshing distraction in August 1967. The couple was hunkered down in room 388 of the Gatlinburg Inn, working on a large country music project, when Felice was feeling burned out. \"They checked in and were working on a project called 'The Golden Years' for Archie Campbell,\" said Greg Bailey, general manager of the Gatlinburg Inn. \"Felice was getting tired of working on so many slow songs and wanted a break. She wanted to do something different. Boudleaux wanted to keep working on the main project.\"\n\nIn interviews with WBIR in the 1980s and 1990s, Felice Bryant described the brief bickering before Boudleaux finally appeased her with the short diversion that resulted in \"Rocky Top.\" \"I said I want to write something 'up.' Something with a beat. Something about the mountains. How about a bluegrass song? Anything. I started coming up with words, he came up with words, he finished the tune and we had the song,\" said Felice Bryant in 1991. \"He asked what did I think we should call it and I said I didn't know. He said, 'How about Rocky Top?'\"\n\nMany have assumed the inspiration for the song's title came from a peak in the Tennessee portion of the Great Smoky Mountains known as Rocky Top. The site is a sub-peak of Thunderhead Mountain and overlooks Cades Cove. Although the songwriters were in a hotel next to the national park when they wrote the song, their son says the couple knew nothing about an actual location named Rocky Top. \"They had no idea there was a place called Rocky Top when they wrote the song,\" said Del Bryant. \"It's sort of like 'Muddy Bottom,' which was another single done by the Osborne Brothers. There's no real place I know of called Muddy Bottom, but if you search the records you can probably find one. To them, Rocky Top was just a place they imagined in the mountains where corn would not grow and you could get moonshine.\"\n\nThe Bryants wrote \"Rocky Top\" in around 10 minutes, set it aside, and went back to working on their main project of slow-tempo songs for Archie Campbell. A few months later, the Bryants sent \"Rocky Top\" to The Osborne Brothers for the bluegrass group's upcoming record.\n\nThe song \"Rocky Top\" was originally recorded by the Osborne Brothers and released on Christmas Day of 1967.

The hotel placed a small plaque on the wall of the room noting the song was written there in 1967. The room also features a large print of the sheet music for the song, photos of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, and maintained much of the same décor.\n\n\"Other than new carpet, we've tried to preserve it. We have the same furniture that was in the suite when the Bryants wrote the song. We kept the original lighting. It is something people are interested in because it's such a big part of music history,\" said Bailey.\n\nThe rate for the room where \"Rocky Top\" was written runs between $169 to $219 per night, depending on the time of year and the day of the week. The suite is slightly larger than the other rooms at the historic inn and has two double beds.\n\nRoom 388 where \"Rocky Top\" was written at The Historic Gatlinburg Inn.\n\nCountless businesses have latched onto the Rocky Top name as part of their identities.

The name change resulted in lawsuits and eventual settlements.\n\nThe song \"Rocky Top\" hardly made the careers of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. The prolific duo wrote thousands of songs, had more than 800 recorded and sold more than half a billion copies worldwide. Their hits include songs such as \"Love Hurts,\" \"Bye Bye Love,\" \"Wake Up Little Suzie\" and \"Raining In My Heart.\"\n\nWhile other songs were more profitable during the Bryants' careers than \"Rocky Top,\" it is unlikely any tune in their catalog is more likely to be widely-played 50 years from now.\n\n\"It is just engrained in people in Tennessee to love this song. You see little kids barely old enough to walk and talk and they can sing the song. They even know when to yell, 'Woo!' There's just so much passion and tradition with 'Rocky Top.'

We held onto hope because the result by Dalvi and Suciu allows arbitrary input databases, which is quite pessimistic; real data is usually simpler than the worst possible case. We considered this in connection with a well-known result by Courcelle: some queries that are generally hard to evaluate become tractable when the data has bounded treewidth, intuitively meaning that it is close to a tree. In the probabilistic XML context, it had already been noted that probabilistic evaluation is tractable on trees, such as on probabilistic XML data, even for very expressive queries. We thought that this could generalize to bounded treewidth data.\n\nWe demonstrate such a result in our work \"Provenance Circuits for Trees and Treelike Instances,\" which studies the more general question of computing provenance information. The field of provenance studies how to represent the dependency of query results on the initial data; it relates to probability evaluation because determining the probability of a query amounts to determining the probability of its provenance information, or lineage. Intuitively, the lineage of my example query would say, \"There is a match if: Jean messaged Jamie and Jean lives in Paris and Jamie lives in Paris, or...\" To determine the probability that the query has a match, it suffices to evaluate the probability of this statement (which may still be intractable).\n\nWe rephrase probabilistic query evaluation in terms of provenance because there is a very neat presentation of provenance in terms of semiring annotations manipulated through relational algebra operators. Our work shows that an analogous notion can be defined in the context of trees and automata, and can be \"transported\" through Courcelle's correspondence between bounded treewidth graphs and trees. As it turns out, the lineages that we can construct are circuits and themselves have bounded treewidth, so we incidentally obtain that probability evaluation is tractable on bounded treewidth instances. We extended this to show the tractability of many existing database formalisms, and the existence of tractable lineage representations.\n\nIn a more recent work, \"Tractable Lineages on Treelike Instances: Limits and Extensions,\" we show that bounded-treewidth tractability essentially cannot be improved: there are queries which are hard to evaluate for any restriction on input instances which does not imply that the treewidth is bounded (or that the instances are non-constructible in a strong sense). This led us to investigate questions about the extraction of topological minors, using a recent breakthrough in this area. We developed a similar dichotomy result for other tasks, including a meta-dichotomy of the queries that are intractable in a certain sense on all unbounded-treewidth constructible instance families, a result reminiscent of the dichotomy of queries by Dalvi and Suciu, but with a very different landscape.\n\nThe hope would be to develop query evaluation methods on probabilistic data which use the structure of both the instance and query to achieve tractability, or to make well-principled approximations.

While most of these theories acknowledge that impact damage was likely a contributing factor, few suggest that this damage alone caused the total failure of the buildings. When examining these so-called collapse theories, it is important to understand that the term \"collapse\" is a misnomer. What these theories are actually describing is that the upper part of the building above the impact zone crushed the lower, undamaged portion of the structure. The structural integrity of the towers remained undiminished below the impact zones, and much heavier and stronger materials were used in the lower sections to support the lighter upper floors.\n\nOne of the first explanations was put forward just two days after the attacks, on September 13, 2001, by the American Society of Civil Engineers in a paper titled \"Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse? — A Simple Analysis,\" authored by Zdenek Bazant and Yong Zhou. One might wonder how they were able to produce such a seemingly confident and fully developed theoretical explanation for a shocking, unprecedented, and inexplicable occurrence within such a short timeframe. Much like the voluminous and complex USA Patriot Act, which appeared fully formed in October 2001, it almost seems as though it had been prepared in advance. Regardless, their theory depends on the simultaneous failure of at least half the support columns on a given floor, which they argue would allow the upper part of the building to fall freely onto the lower part, allegedly triggering a sequence of events that would doom the entire tower. They claim that this triggering condition would be achieved if more than half of the column steel on a given floor reached temperatures exceeding 800 degrees Celsius (1472 degrees Fahrenheit). However, they fail to distinguish between fire temperature and internal steel temperature and offer no explanation for how this could possibly occur. This assertion, based on the failure of only half the support strength, also reveals that they are either unaware of or ignoring the five-times maximum load strength requirement for building design.

Could the old story about babies being delivered by storks really be true? No. Correlation is not causation. Storks do not deliver children; rather, larger houses have more room for both children and storks.\n\nThis much-loved statistical anecdote seems less amusing when you consider how it was used in a US Senate committee hearing in 1965. The expert witness giving testimony was arguing that while smoking may be correlated with lung cancer, a causal relationship was unproven and implausible. Pressed on the statistical parallels between storks and cigarettes, he replied that they \"seem to me the same.\"\n\nThe witness's name was Darrell Huff, a freelance journalist beloved by generations of geeks for his wonderful and hugely successful 1954 book, How to Lie with Statistics. His reputation today might be rather different had the proposed sequel made it to print. How to Lie with Smoking Statistics used a variety of stork-style arguments to throw doubt on the connection between smoking and cancer, and it was supported by a grant from the Tobacco Institute. It was never published, for reasons that remain unclear. (The story of Huff's career as a tobacco consultant was brought to the attention of statisticians in articles by Andrew Gelman in Chance in 2012 and by Alex Reinhart in Significance in 2014.)\n\nIndisputably, smoking causes lung cancer and various other deadly conditions. But the problematic relationship between correlation and causation in general remains an active area of debate and confusion. The \"spurious correlations\" compiled by Harvard law student Tyler Vigen and displayed on his website (tylervigen.com) should serve as a warning. Did you realize that consumption of margarine is strongly correlated with the divorce rate in Maine?\n\nWe cannot rely on correlation alone, then. But insisting on absolute proof of causation is too exacting a standard (arguably, an impossible one). Between those two extremes, where does the right balance lie between trusting correlations and looking for evidence of causation?\n\nScientists, economists, and statisticians have tended to demand causal explanations for the patterns they see. It's not enough to know that college graduates earn more money; we want to know whether the college education boosted their earnings, or if they were smart people who would have done well anyway. Merely looking for correlations was not the stuff of rigorous science.\n\nBut with the advent of \"big data,\" this argument has started to shift. Large data sets can throw up intriguing correlations that may be good enough for some purposes. Who cares why price cuts are most effective on a Tuesday? If it's Tuesday, cut the price.

Both Democrat and Republican administrations touted homeownership as the best investment a middle-class family could make, and homeownership became synonymous with the American Dream.\n\nWe reached peak American Dream in the early 2000s. At the time, the surface conditions appeared great: house prices appreciated rapidly, mortgage equity withdrawal fueled an economic boom, subprime lending provided homeownership opportunities to nearly everyone, and record numbers enjoyed the American Dream of homeownership. Unfortunately, it was all an illusion.\n\nThe innovative loan products turned out poisonous to millions of borrowers who subsequently lost their homes in foreclosure. In a surprising example of legislators devising an intelligent law that actually fixes the problem, Congress enacted Dodd-Frank, which prevents lenders from making bad loans to unqualified borrowers.\n\nHomeownership is not right for everyone, a lesson most policymakers learned from the housing mania. As a society we can’t achieve 100% homeownership, and we shouldn’t pursue policies that seek to maximize homeownership. Many Americans are better served by the freedom of movement that accompanies renting; young people in particular may want to move for career advancement. Further, many Americans lack the financial management skills necessary to sustain homeownership. Those who lack these requisite skills must be excluded because if lenders bestow homeownership to those unable to sustain it — which they did during the housing mania — the result is a heart-wrenching price crash and 10 million foreclosures.\n\nDuring the housing boom, everyone was able to ignore the reality that homeownership is a privilege and not a right.

Homeownership hit a high of 69.4 percent in 2004, during one of the biggest housing booms in history. That was also when mortgage lending was arguably at its loosest level in history. The homeownership rate is now just one-tenth of 1 basis point higher than its all-time low in the second quarter of 2015.\n\nEconomists continue to point to a recovering job market as fuel for growth in the housing market, but for young Americans, just having a job does not translate to homeownership. High levels of student loan debt, tight mortgage underwriting standards and overheating home prices are all contributing to very low homeownership rates among the nation’s youngest workers.

However, for a game like Breakout, we need several consecutive images to capture the direction and speed of the ball. This is precisely what the DeepMind team did in their paper \"Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning.\" They used four consecutive screenshots, reduced to 84x84 images with 256 grey levels, to describe the state of the system.\n\nIf we were to use a Q-table to store all possible states, we would be left with 256^(84*84*4) possible game states. This number is so vast that there is no way to build such a table. It is true that the images have some structure (bricks at the top, paddle at the bottom, etc.), so in practice, there are far fewer possible states. Still, using a sparse table to store only the visited states would take too long to compute the Q function, as many states will be visited very rarely.\n\nThis is where deep learning comes in. The idea is to use a neural network to compute the Q function. Neural networks are very efficient at finding good features for highly structured data.\n\nThis is exactly what the DeepMind team did. They used a convolutional neural network with three convolutional layers followed by two fully connected layers.\n\nThe first convolutional layer takes an 84x84x4 input, uses 32 filters of size 8x8 with a stride of 4, applies ReLU activation, and produces a 20x20x32 output. The second convolutional layer takes a 20x20x32 input, uses 64 filters of size 4x4 with a stride of 2, applies ReLU activation, and produces a 9x9x64 output. The third convolutional layer takes a 9x9x64 input, uses 64 filters of size 3x3 with a stride of 1, applies ReLU activation, and produces a 7x7x64 output. The first fully connected layer takes a 7x7x64 input, applies ReLU activation, and produces a 512-dimensional output. The second fully connected layer takes a 512-dimensional input, applies a linear activation, and produces an output of size 18.\n\nThe output represents the Q-values for the 18 possible actions in the Atari game.\n\nSince Q-values are scalar values, it is possible to use a simple squared loss error function for back-propagation:\n\nL = 1/2 * [ (r + gamma * max_{a'} Q(s', a')) - Q(s, a) ]^2\n\nwhere the target is r + gamma * max_{a'} Q(s', a') and the prediction is Q(s, a).\n\nUsing this neural network, our update rule for the Q-function becomes:\n\n1. Perform a feed-forward pass for the current state s.\n2. Perform a feed-forward pass for the next state s' and calculate max_{a'} Q(s', a').\n3. Set the Q-value target for action a to r + gamma * max_{a'} Q(s', a') (i.e., the max calculated in step 2).\n4. For all other actions, set the Q-value target to the same value as returned from step 1 (this makes the error 0 for the other actions).\n5. Perform a back-propagation pass to update the weights of the Q function.\n\nWe now have a good idea of how to use a neural network to approximate the Q function. However, it turns out that approximating Q-values using a non-linear function is not very stable. You actually need several tricks to make it converge.\n\nThe most important trick is experience replay. During the game, all transitions are stored in memory. When training the network, random samples from the replay memory are used instead of the most recent transition.

You can see that his fourth-quarter and close-game motor burns even hotter as the clock winds down. He has very fluid athleticism yet possesses the tackling characteristics you look for in a football player. He is the classic hybrid defender who likely can play anywhere you want on the defense. He played a lot like a linebacker in 2014 and then showed he could haul off and take the boundary side as a lock-down corner in 2015, transitioning just as well. As a blitzer, he might be the most natural in the bunch. Every time he is sent off the corner, the play gets disrupted. He has blinding speed off the edge, and in one game last season, he had consecutive plays where he blitzed off the edge, broke up a pass, and then chased speedster Philip Dorsett, who has a 4.33 forty time, down the seam to pick off the game-clinching interception. He is a playmaker and can do that in so many ways.\n\nWhat I did not like: Not much. He will guess on plays a bit and watch the quarterback, and that caused him to lose his man a time or two. I don't like this, but it is some of the collateral damage of an instinctive defensive back who is looking to make plays. You want disciplined technique, but also want to allow a playmaker to try to make plays. It is a slippery slope. But when he does make a mistake and gets beat, his responses are legendary. He then bounces back and takes the game over. He competes so hard, and I think he is motivated by the occasional mistake. He also dropped three or four interceptions in the eight games I watched over two seasons.\n\nSummary and Potential Fit for the Cowboys: For me, this is likely the best player in the draft. His position versatility, ability to come in and be the best player in the Cowboys secondary regardless of which position it might be, and his age of twenty-one, all suggest that stardom in the NFL is not far away. Jalen Ramsey sure checks all of the boxes I would look for when discussing things you are looking for in a top-five pick. I am skeptical about whether he would be available for the Cowboys and whether the Cowboys would want to spend another first-round pick on a defensive back, but it sure seems like if he is around at their pick, that this player is the type you can feel great about. I am asked frequently where he would play if he were with the Cowboys, which is a question we still ask about Byron Jones. I think the Cowboys want Jones to be their full-time deep safety from here on out, which might put Ramsey as a box safety or as a corner.

However, some members of the community remain uneasy about the far-right extremists fighting alongside Ukrainian volunteer battalions in the east, as well as incidents of \"everyday anti-Semitism\" within Ukraine.\n\nRussian media and officials have portrayed Ukraine as a center of far-right extremism and anti-Semitism since former President Viktor Yanukovych was removed from power in late February. In his first public reaction to Yanukovych's downfall, President Vladimir Putin told journalists on March 4 that \"reactionary forces, nationalist and anti-Semitic forces\" were rampaging in parts of Ukraine, including Kiev. He used similar language in his speech declaring the annexation of Crimea two weeks later, describing the events against Yanukovych as the work of \"nationalists, neo-Nazis, Russophobes and anti-Semites.\"\n\nThe Association of Jewish Organisations and Communities (VAAD) of Ukraine responded with an open letter, stating that Putin's assertions about rising anti-Semitism in Ukraine \"did not match reality.\" The letter added that Putin's advisers \"might have confused Ukraine with Russia, where Jewish organisations registered a rise of anti-Semitism last year.\"\n\nShmuel Kaminetsky, a rabbi in Dnipropetrovsk, which is home to one of the country's largest Jewish communities, also rejects the characterization of Ukraine as anti-Semitic. He noted that life is \"easier and safer\" for Jews in Ukraine than in Western countries like Belgium and France, where radical Islam is on the rise. This comment was made in a recent film documenting efforts to defend Dnipropetrovsk against the Russian-backed insurgency.\n\nSince Yanukovych's downfall, Russian media have amplified the threat posed by Ukrainian far-right organizations such as Right Sector and the Freedom party. However, neither party commands widespread support. In the May presidential election, their leaders received a combined vote of less than 2%, and they also failed to meet the 5% threshold in the recent parliamentary election.\n\nDespite their limited electoral success, concerns persist regarding the presence of far-right extremists in certain segments of Ukrainian society, particularly within the new volunteer battalions that have played a crucial role in the ongoing conflict. Yosyp Zisels, director of VAAD Ukraine, told a news conference in October that the volunteers were fighting \"bravely\" for Ukraine's \"sovereignty and territorial integrity.\" At the same time, he acknowledged that some of them held views that were \"Nazi, ultranationalist and racist.\" Zisels emphasized that far-right extremists and fascists were fighting on both sides of the conflict.\n\nA key figure in organizing and financing the Ukrainian volunteer battalions is Ihor Kolomoisky, the regional governor of Dnipropetrovsk and a prominent businessman. Kolomoisky is an important member of the Dnipropetrovsk Jewish community and has frequently been the target of attacks in Russian media.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2737, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8a0a5cae2dadd1a4666509c9be2655bda4a2834f", "raw_chars": 2236, "clean_chars": 2031, "edit_ratio": 0.633, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Bernie Sanders told Jake Tapper that he does not believe the DNC chair is qualified for the role, citing both the damaging emails that exposed the party's prejudice and her leadership style, which he feels fails to reach out to working-class and young voters.

No, we can actually learn the Q function from the data by observing what happens when we perform an action a in state s. The idea is that if we visit state s and perform action a many times, we will eventually learn the true value Q(s, a).\n\nTo make things simple, imagine that we store the Q values in a table where the rows represent the possible states and the columns represent the possible actions.\n\nThis gives us the following pseudo code:\n\nInitialize Q[num_states, num_actions] randomly.\nStart from initial state s.\nWhile not terminated:\nSelect and perform action a.\nObserve reward r and next state s'.\nUpdate Q[s, a] = (1 - α)Q[s, a] + α (r + γ max_a' Q[s', a']).\ns = s'.\nDone.\n\nThe key point is to understand how we update the estimated Q̂(s, a) every time we take action a in state s:\n\nQ̂(s, a) = (1 - α)Q̂(s, a) + α (r + γ max_a' Q̂(s', a'))\n\nHere the update is simple because we always know Q̂, since we initialized all the values randomly. It may not be correct, but there is a value we can use for our computation.\n\nThere is also a new parameter α. α is the learning rate and has a value between 0 and 1.\n\nIf α = 0, then we are not learning anything because we are not updating Q̂.\n\nIf α = 1, then we forget everything we have learned so far and only consider the new value.\n\nThe idea is that α decreases over time because we want to learn a lot at the beginning and then take smaller steps as we accumulate knowledge and converge to the true value.\n\nExploration vs. Exploitation Dilemma\n\nThere are a few points we need to clarify:\n\nHow do we choose the action to perform?\nHow do we initialize Q̂?\n\nIf we always choose the same action a, we won't learn anything. On the other hand, if we always choose a randomly, we will explore all the possibilities and converge to the \"real\" Q, but we won't use that knowledge.\n\nWe need to somehow use the knowledge accumulated in Q̂. We can simply use π̂(s) = argmax_a Q̂(s, a). Sounds good, but Q̂ ≠ Q, especially at the beginning where Q̂ is initialized randomly.\n\nThis means that at the beginning we pick actions randomly, but as soon as we find something that \"seems\" to work, we stick with that. For example, we might find out that always moving the paddle to the left is a valuable strategy, even though it surely isn't the optimal strategy. And that's the problem with this algorithm: as soon as it finds something that looks better than the alternatives, it always picks this action and stops trying anything else. It's like being stuck in a local minimum. For this reason, we say that the algorithm is greedy.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can slightly modify our policy π̂ to choose the action given by argmax_a Q̂(s, a) with probability (1 - ε) and choose a random action with probability ε.\n\nThis means that we do what seems to be right most of the time (by following Q̂), but once in a while we pick a random action to get a chance to explore the whole space of possibilities.\n\nWe can have ε decrease over time so that we take more random actions at the beginning to favor the exploration of the space, and as we gain more knowledge, we use it more and more often to pick the right action.\n\nThis is the exploration vs. exploitation dilemma.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2754, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9eeb3f1eceda5f2b768bed8ad892b64bd2765d0c", "raw_chars": 2029, "clean_chars": 1985, "edit_ratio": 0.3622, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A rare white koala joey has been born at Australia Zoo, and the search is now on for the right name.

Barack Obama’s accidentally revealing answer to Joe the Plumber this week did not occur in a historical vacuum. In fact, the history of the income tax shows it to be just the kind of instrument Obama describes, with much the same intent.\n\nUntil the Civil War, the idea of a tax on individual incomes would have seemed preposterous to most Americans. Only as an emergency wartime measure did Congress adopt an income tax in the 1860s, and the measure was allowed to lapse with little fanfare in 1872. The modern income tax begins with the Progressive era in American politics. In an influential 1889 article titled \"The Owners of the United States,\" crusading attorney Thomas Shearman argued that the lion's share of the country's wealth was in a limited number of hands. If an income tax were not adopted, he warned, within 30 years \"the United States of America will be substantially owned\" by fewer than 50,000 people. Progressives condemned the Constitution as an instrument crafted by the rich to protect their selfish interests, as J. Allen Smith argued, and as a document rendered obsolete by intellectual progress in the century since its drafting, as Woodrow Wilson suggested. Frenzied attacks on \"the rich\" and \"the wealthy\" culminated in the ratification of the 16th Amendment in 1913, authorizing federal taxation of income from all sources without limit. The same year, historian Charles Beard published \"An Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution.\" This book, later debunked, suggested that the Constitution was the handiwork of a propertied elite serving its own interests. Such sentiment has poisoned American political thought ever since.\n\nWilson is an interesting analogue to this campaign. Like Barack Obama, Wilson had little experience in electoral politics, having spent most of his career as an academic. Like Sarah Palin, he had two years of experience as a governor before running on a national ticket (the top half in Wilson's case, obviously). Like John McCain, Wilson tried to push reform and limited government in opposition to his own party, and like Palin, had to fight a substantial state \"machine\" to get it, although Wilson was somewhat less successful than Palin.\n\nIn any event, the income tax passed almost a century ago was supposed to limit the influence of the rich by forcibly redistributing their wealth. One has to proclaim the redistribution, at least, as a success. As Scott writes, 40% of all income taxes get paid by the top 1% of filers, and those paid in total the same amount as the bottom 95% of all filers. We've grown so accustomed to the \"progressive\" tax system (which has two distinct and accurate meanings) that we no longer question whether this is actually good policy—at least not until a Joe the Plumber speaks up.\n\nObama is very fond of the number 95, especially in terms of percentages. We've had the progressive income tax for 95 years, and progressives still want to soak the rich even more than they do now. Has this succeeded in terms of efficient use of capital, or has it created a flabby, bureaucrat-ridden monster of a federal government to redistribute capital in about as costly a manner as can be imagined? The top 5% of American earners now provides half of the funds for the federal government; has that made them less influential, or more influential?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2774, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "943a3964d00334ad013bc0473a28a53e849c63a1", "raw_chars": 2995, "clean_chars": 2995, "edit_ratio": 0.0407, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"I… wanted to say that everything I said to you – all of it – was true.\" He was looking at me so intently.

You can then create an applet on IFTTT to automate the archiving process: set the \"This\" service to Gmail and filter for new emails from Newsle, and set the \"That\" service to Google Drive to create a new spreadsheet. This way, all Newsle mentions will be automatically saved in a Google Doc for easy reference.\n\nTo track your competitors' website changes, use a tool like VisualPing.io to monitor specific web pages. You can customize the timing and type of changes you want to track, and add your email address for notifications. To receive these alerts via text message, create an IFTTT applet where the \"This\" service is Email (from Visual Ping) and the \"That\" service is SMS. You will then receive a text message every time your competitor updates their page.\n\nStaying on top of your competitors' blog posts is another effective strategy. Subscribe to the blog's RSS feed and create an IFTTT applet to handle the notifications. Set the \"This\" service to Feed and enter the blog post feed URL, and set the \"That\" service to Email. This ensures you receive an email every time a new post appears on your competitor's blog.\n\nYou can also monitor your competitors' stock performance to keep a keen eye on their financial movements. Create an IFTTT applet using the Stocks service, where you can choose metrics such as price at close, price rises above, or price drops below. Enter the relevant ticker symbol and price threshold, and set the \"That\" service to Email. You will receive an email alert every time the stock price moves according to your criteria.\n\nTo monitor your competitors' executives, set up Google Alerts for their names along with negative keywords, such as \"stole\" or \"fired,\" and subscribe to RSS alerts. Then, create an IFTTT applet where the \"This\" service is RSS and the \"That\" service is Email. This setup will send you an email every time one of these executives is mentioned online.\n\nAnother useful tactic is to get notified whenever a competitor creates and shares a new YouTube video. Find your competitor's YouTube channel and subscribe to its RSS feed.

Additionally, 7.9% of abortions were performed by curettage at more than thirteen weeks of gestation.

The \"Safe Turn Alert System\" pilot is an extension of the Authority's distracted commuter awareness program and is designed to warn pedestrians—specifically those engrossed in phone calls, text messages, and music—that the bus is turning.\n\n\"We are seeing more cases of people unaware of their surroundings,\" said Scott Sauer, SEPTA's Chief Officer of System Safety. \"The Safe Turn Alert system uses an audio warning and a strobe light to make pedestrians aware that the bus is making a right- or left-hand turn. This is an added layer to our already extensive 'Make The Safe Choice' campaign, not only geared toward our customers, but to the millions of area residents and visitors that interact with SEPTA on a daily basis.\"\n\nProtran's Safe Turn Alert Systems have been installed in 12 SEPTA buses for the pilot program. The device is connected to the bus' steering column, and the \"Caution Bus Turning\" alert is triggered when the operator makes a turn. In addition to the external warnings, an announcement is made to the operator inside the bus.\n\nSEPTA's pilot program will run through October 2015. The Safe Turn Alert-equipped buses will be used on specific routes at each of SEPTA's eight bus districts, operating throughout SEPTA's five-county service area. One route per week will use the buses in regular service. \"To get an accurate snapshot of the system's functionality, we chose routes where buses make many turns,\" said Sauer. SEPTA's Callowhill District will test the devices first, beginning with Route 31 during the week of March 16-22.\n\n\"Our Operations, Training, System Safety and Vehicle Engineering and Maintenance Departments will evaluate the system throughout the pilot program,\" said Sauer. \"We will examine the volume of the alerts during turns, reactions of passengers and pedestrians to the audio and visual warnings, additional technical issues and the general upkeep of the system.\"\n\nSEPTA System Safety, Operations and Training staff will ride the buses at various times and days of the week to review the system in action and gauge public response.

Mazda says the interior was benchmarked against the latest BMW 3 Series, and there isn't another front-wheel-drive automobile with such an aggressive caster angle. While the two engines are both part of the Skyactiv-G family, they share practically no major components. The 2.0-liter, six-speed automatic sedan is rated at 30 mpg in the city, 41 on the highway, and 34 combined. The hatch is a bit less aerodynamic and also a wee bit noisier while driving.\n\nWe're not going to beat around the bush: for the kind of person who willfully chooses to take longer, windier, and more scenic routes to get from Point A to Point B, the 2014 Mazda3 is the new compact car measuring stick by which others will be judged. That doesn't, of course, make it the right choice for every buyer. We'll spend the next thousand words or so explaining the whys and hows that make our opening statement a fact, but for now, suffice it to say that Mazda has engineered its latest crop of vehicles – namely the CX-5, Mazda6, and its smaller sibling and subject of this test, the Mazda3 – from the ground up.\n\nAbsolutely everything about the Mazda3 is refined for 2014, from its chassis to its engines and everything in between, and it was done in a completely new and holistic way. Every component, subcomponent, and stamping required to bolt and weld together an automobile was rethought to ensure the Mazda3 has what it takes to compete with such established benchmarks as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus. We spent a day in and around sunny San Diego clutching the keys to Mazda3 variants in both sedan and hatch forms, powered by both 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines, to see how the car stacks up in its hotly contested segment.\n\nSince we've already driven the hatchback version of the car, albeit in pre-production form, we focused our attention on the Mazda3 sedan, and we spent seat time in each of its competitors throughout the process to ensure our posteriors were accurately calibrated. Read on to see what we found.\n\nThe 2014 Mazda3 looks awfully pretty in pictures, but its shapes are even better when viewed up close and personal. As the latest car to benefit from Mazda's Kodo design language, the 3 draws plenty of inspiration from the CX-5 and Mazda6, both of which we think are rather attractive vehicles. While it's never a good thing to say that one car looks like a copy of another, the good news is that the styling cues that make up the automaker's latest philosophy – such as the chrome-underlined five-point fascia and muscular fenders and haunches – arguably work better on the 3 than on any of its forebears.\n\nProportions, on the other hand, don't quite work in the hatchback's profile, with what appears to be a very long distance between the base of the windshield and the front fascia. While the Autoblog team is split, the sedan is the more attractive option to my eyes by a very slight margin. Mazda has increased the wheelbase of its latest 3 by 2.4 inches while shortening its overall length by about 2 inches. That ought to do good things to the vehicle's ride comfort, and the extra 1.6 inches in width and half-inch reduction in height both make the car look sportier and act sportier on twisty roads.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2799, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "f1d9baa717c84a5943ce012cdf8e2ee5a3d6d45a", "raw_chars": 3339, "clean_chars": 3206, "edit_ratio": 0.3974, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As we have seen time and again over the years, outbreaks of \"dissident\" revelations are slowly turned into a means of habituating people to the horrors they expose, such as the widespread use of torture, which became an accepted practice during the last decade. Remember the first Abu Ghraib stories, when even U.S. senators were shell-shocked after briefings on the horrors, and there was serious talk of criminal prosecutions that might shake or even break the Bush administration? Outraged editorials rang across the land: \"This is not what we are!\" Yet most of the Abu Ghraib material was kept from the public, both by the government and by respectable, carefully filtering media outlets. We were told by our leaders and our media that the facts and images were \"too disturbing\" for public viewing, and that their exposure would threaten our soldiers and agents with retaliation by outraged Muslims.\n\nWithin months, many of those same outraged papers were endorsing Bush for re-election. Even in \"liberal\" bastions like the New York Times, torture had become a matter not for outright, automatic condemnation and rejection—as it would be in any civilized society—but instead was presented as an issue requiring \"serious\" debate. We had a series of serious players weighing in on the pros and cons of \"strenuous interrogation,\" with the emphasis largely on whether it was effective or not. This was the respectable, savvy \"liberal\" perspective on the question: not that torture was an unspeakable, untouchable evil, but that it does not really work, yields too much garbage data, and is therefore not a useful tool for our noble security forces. This was the standard \"liberal\" position.\n\nAnd we all know what happened in the end: the initially shocked and outraged bipartisan elite agreed that no one should ever be prosecuted for these brazen war crimes, aside from a few low-ranking individuals, and that those who approved and perpetrated these acts should be protected, honored, and enriched by our society. By the time the smoke cleared, large percentages of the public voiced their support for the torture of imperial captives and the stripping of rights, both constitutional and human, from anyone arbitrarily designated as a \"terrorist\" by our leaders.\n\nThe same thing happened in a much quicker, more telescoped form when the New York Times revealed the details of Barack Obama's formal, official death squad program, run directly out of the White House in weekly meetings. Indeed, this entire \"revelation\" was stage-managed by the White House itself, which \"leaked\" the details and provided \"top administrative figures\" to paint a scene of thoughtful, even prayerful leaders doing the grim but noble work of keeping us safe.

The arrest occurred around 2 a.m. local time in a town in North Brabant near the Belgian border. A 22-year-old man was taken into custody at his home, which was subsequently searched.\n\nPolice confirmed that the suspect is in custody and will be questioned regarding the threat in Rotterdam. They emphasized that they conducted a thorough search of his residence, though Dutch police typically do not release identities or other specific details of suspects during criminal investigations.\n\nThe incident prompted authorities to close off the venue where the US band Allah-Las was scheduled to perform in front of approximately 1,000 spectators. Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb addressed the situation at a press conference that night, revealing that a van filled with gas canisters had been discovered near the concert venue.\n\nSeparately, police stated that the driver of a Spain-registered white van carrying several gas canisters, which was stopped on Wednesday night near the Maassilo concert venue, is unlikely to be a suspect in the threat investigation. The driver was detained for questioning two hours after the concert cancellation. Police noted that the man may have been intoxicated and would be questioned further on Thursday. Explosives experts inspected the van and found nothing suspicious beyond the gas canisters. A search of the driver's home also uncovered no connection to the terror threat at Maassilo. Police described the man as a repairman who provided an explanation for the gas canisters that is currently under investigation.\n\nThe performance by the Los Angeles-based band in Rotterdam was canceled on Wednesday night after Spanish authorities alerted Dutch police to a possible threat. A Spanish counterterrorism official stated that Spain's Civil Guard received an alert indicating the possibility of an attack at the concert. The Civil Guard shared this information with Dutch authorities on Wednesday and is actively investigating the threat. The source spoke anonymously, as the Civil Guard continues its probe.\n\nDespite the scare, the Dutch counterterror coordinator has not altered the country's overall threat level, which remains at \"substantial,\" the fourth step on a five-level scale.

My training began on December 22, the day of the winter solstice. The abbot had warned me that part of the old-fashioned way involved certain ascetic practices derived not from Buddhism, but from the shamanic tradition of Shinto, Japan’s pre-Buddhist tribal religion. One of the most common methods that tribal cultures use to obtain visions of gods or spirits is through prolonged exposure to extreme hot or cold. In India, Hindus have the “five fires” practice; in North America, Native Americans have the sweat lodge and the sun dance. These involve heat. The traditional Shinto shamanic practice goes in the other direction. It involves cold — squatting under freezing waterfalls in winter, or standing in cold springs, or dousing your body with ice water, and so forth.\n\nBecause Shingon is Vajrayana, the main meditation practice involves working with visualizations, mantras, and mudra gestures. You replace your self-image with that of an archetype, you replace your usual mental talk with the mantra of that archetype, and you take on the physical and emotional body experience of that archetype through making mudras — ritual hand gestures. If your concentration is good enough, your identity briefly shifts. You become that archetype. This gives you insight into the arbitrary nature of self-identity. The technical term for this practice is deity yoga because you experience merging (yoga, i.e., “yoking”) with a mythic archetype.\n\nMy current way of teaching mindfulness is, in part, informed by this early Shingon training. I have people observe self in terms of inner mental images, mental talk, and emotional body sensation, the three sensory elements used in the Vajrayana deity yoga practice. I’ve created a hybrid approach. What I have people observe is derived from the Japanese Vajrayana paradigm: self = mental image + mental talk + body. But how I have people observe is derived from mindfulness, which has its origin in Southeast Asian Theravada practice. So, in a sense, I have brought the abbot’s lineage back, although probably not quite in the form that he was expecting.\n\nThe visualizations, mantras, and mudras are woven together into the framework of a ritual invocation. The traditional basic training (known as kegyo) involves doing three such invocations daily, with the abbot privately initiating you into how to do the ceremonies. The Shinto shamanic piece comes prior to each of the three ritual invocations, when the practitioner is required to do cold-water purification. You have to go to a cistern filled with half-frozen water, break the ice on top, fill a huge wooden bucket, and then squat and dump the bonechilling liquid over your naked body. It’s so cold that the water freezes the moment it touches the floor, and your towel freezes in your hand, so you are sliding around barefoot on ice, trying to dry your body with a frozen hand towel.\n\nFor me, this cold-water purification was a horrific ordeal. Maybe being a thin-skinned Californian had something to do with it. I did notice, however, that if I stayed in a state of high concentration while I did it, my distress was noticeably lessened. On the other hand, as soon as my attention wandered, the suffering became unbearable.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2825, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "a4b113ba493b34dcd993742907c156fcdb6c4a39", "raw_chars": 3264, "clean_chars": 2543, "edit_ratio": 0.1514, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Current Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) is the only woman on Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) current leadership team, but she has been unable to advance further.\n\nSpeaker John Boehner's forced resignation in 2015 set off a leadership scramble.

What follows is a look at a few proofs. Stephan Duerr has summarized some of these and added his own at the website given below.\n\nEnthusiasts have come up with a terminology that is useful to the proofs. These are all given below:\n\nThe \"liberties\" of a spot equal three minus the number of lines emerging from the spot.\n\nA spot is \"dead\" if it has no liberties.\n\nA \"survivor\" is a live spot at game's end.\n\nA \"guard\" is a dead spot that is one of the two nearest neighbours of a survivor (see more details below).\n\nA \"pharisee\" is a dead spot that is not a guard.\n\nA \"region\" is an area of white space on the paper bounded by lines. The region extending off to the horizon is called \"outer region\", all other regions are \"inner regions\". At game's start, there is one region.\n\nA \"cluster\" (or \"clump\") consists of all spots that are directly or indirectly connected by lines. An \"indirect\" connection means that there are other spots along the connection. The smallest possible cluster consists of just one unattached spot. At the beginning of a game with n spots there are n clusters.\n\nThe lines emerging from a spot divide the area around the spot into \"sites\". Spots have as many sites as lines, except for no lines, where there is one site.\n\nLet:\n\nn = number of spots at the beginning of the game\nd = number of dead spots\nm = number of moves\ns = number of survivors\np = number of pharisees\nc = number of clusters\nr = number of regions\nL = number of liberties\n\nA few to get your teeth into?\n\nAll of these proofs have been taken from work by contributors to the maths forum.\n\nProve that the number of liberties at any time can be expressed as L = 3n - m\n\nEach spot has 3 liberties at the beginning of the game. There are n spots. Hence at the beginning of the game there are 3n liberties.\n\nEach move reduces the number of liberties by 1. This is because the two spots that are joined result in 2 liberties being lost, whilst the spot that is added results in 1 liberty being added.\n\nHence L = 3n - m.\n\nProve that the maximum number of moves can be expressed as m <= 3n - 1.\n\nAt the game's end, each survivor has exactly 1 liberty (otherwise you could connect the survivor to itself), hence s = 3n - m.\n\ns >= 1 hence 3n - m >= 1.\n\nRearranging this gives 3n - 1 >= m or m <= 3n - 1.\n\nProve that the minimum number of moves can be expressed as m >= 2n.\n\nAt the end of a game, each survivor is surrounded by 2 guards.\n\nThese guards are spots that are dead in one of two ways:\n\nIf any guard were live, the game could be continued by connecting the guard to the survivor. Each guard has at least two of its sites accessing a region that is also accessible to the survivor. Since no two survivors can access the same region (otherwise we could connect the survivors), no spot can be a guard for two different survivors.\n\nA pharisee is a dead spot that is not a guard.\n\nThe number of pharisees is the total number of spots minus the number of survivors and minus the number of guards. Written algebraically:\n\np = n + m - s - 2s\np = n + m - 3s\np = n + m - 3(3n - m)\np = n + m - 9n + 3m\n\nHence p = 4m - 8n\n\nRearranging this equation gives us m = p/4 + 2n.\n\nIf the game is played so that there are no Pharisees, that is a game is played with the minimum number of moves, then m = 2n.\n\nSo we can say that m >= 2n.\n\nProve that the maximum number of regions can be expressed as r <= 2n + 1", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2847, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "be08ae7a3a42649232a014e4da5a49dcff2e6837", "raw_chars": 878, "clean_chars": 938, "edit_ratio": 0.1883, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Charges against a former Uber driver accused of sexually assaulting a passenger in north Houston in December were dropped on Friday, according to his lawyer.\n\nQahtan Ghassan Talib, 35, had been accused of groping an intoxicated woman while driving her home.

Why do we need another entity? The answer lies in the opportunity. This became clear to me a week ago in San Francisco, where I attended a meeting of sharing economy participants. The room was filled with drivers, passengers, hosts, guests, and tour guides from companies like RelayRides, Lyft, Airbnb, Vayable, and Sidecar. They were literally bouncing with enthusiasm about the prospect of collaborating with one another. They were developing brilliant ideas to share customers across different verticals. One person even suggested the creation of a peer economy currency, perhaps Bitcoin, or a points system to encourage people to cross verticals and recruit new participants into this emerging economy.\n\nHowever, the language changes, and the mask slips. Participants become customers, and sharing becomes buying. The phrase \"across verticals\" reveals that Douglas Atkin is an advertising executive. Now the sharing economy is about loyalty programs and cross-marketing? That is not the kind of sharing I want to be part of. I have no problem with commerce, but I object to commerce wrapped up in, and appropriating, the language of solidarity.\n\nThese people were incredibly impressive, driven by passion, eagerness, and creativity to work together locally to expand the sharing economy. That was the opportunity, and it was incredibly exciting to witness. I attended a few more meetings of this type in New York, bringing together people from different verticals in the sharing economy, where the same dynamic occurred. Thus, the opportunity was clear.\n\nThe Peers organization came together in San Francisco and New York, the well-heeled, well-funded districts of the sharing economy movement.\n\nSecondly, there are the challenges. I believe it is unlikely that the entrenched interests of the old economy will stand idly by as their business models, developed over the past seventy years, are challenged by the new economy. I hold this belief because I used to work for them. Billion-dollar venture capital funds are out to undercut people who run licensed bed and breakfasts, yet he would have me believe that the bed and breakfast owners are the \"entrenched interests.\" If this is your idea of a revolution, then you can count me out.\n\nFurthermore, outdated laws and new laws that have been poorly conceived, leading to unintended consequences, truly threaten the growth of this nascent new world economy. The laws he refers to are licensing laws and other regulations put in place to protect employees, customers, and neighborhoods. These laws are not all perfect, but the sharing economy offers nothing to replace them beyond magical thinking about \"trust\" with little accountability.\n\nHow much better would it be if citizens banded together to grow and protect their interests in the sharing economy rather than companies wielding their power? How about banding together to protest when a TaskRabbit customer posts a job to do four loads of laundry, only for it to turn out to be ten or fifteen loads covered in cat diarrhea? If you do that, you are fired. The company, a partner of Peers.org, also takes steps to prevent its TaskRabbits from meeting because \"they don't want us unionizing.\" I am sorry, what was that about citizens banding together against companies?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2845, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "15ace95e5c2090d9a346045b2c9be93d5741b42b", "raw_chars": 3327, "clean_chars": 3316, "edit_ratio": 0.8332, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I am here to discuss plans that will enable people to create a member-driven movement for the sharing economy.

If you are a thought leader, blogger, or conference speaker, champion it. And if you have some ready cash, please help fund it.\n\nA new kind of union? What, me and Peter Thiel, the billionaire investor in TaskRabbit? Sorry, I won't be handing over my cash any time soon.\n\nWhy should you do this? Well, it is the right thing to do. We literally stand on the brink of a new, better kind of economic system that delivers social as well as economic benefits. In fact, these are social and economic benefits that the old economy promised but failed to deliver. As Julia, an Airbnb host, told me just last night, \"the sharing economy saved my arse.\"\n\nThe sharing economy is not an alternative to capitalism; it is the ultimate end point of capitalism, in which we are all reduced to temporary laborers and expected to smile about it because we are interested in the experience, not the money. Jobs become \"extra money,\" just like women's jobs used to be considered \"extra money.\" Like those jobs, they do not come with things like insurance protection, job security, or benefits—none of that old economy stuff. But hey, you are not an employee; you are a micro-entrepreneur. And you are not doing it for the money; you are doing it for the experience. We just assume you are making a living some other way.\n\nThe old economy has largely failed us. Most people are not experiencing the economic independence and the happiness that mass production and consumerism promised. Partly, in a way, because the old system centralizes production, wealth, and control. That is just the way it works. And in a sense, that is largely to blame. The peer-to-peer sharing economy is a new model that distributes power, wealth, and control to everyone else. Best of all, the very things that have become the casualties of the old economy—things like economic independence, entrepreneurialism, community, individuality, and happiness—are actually built into the very structure of this new economy. You cannot do sharing without building community and creating individualized experiences.\n\nThe sharing economy is the centralization of global casual labor. Investors invest because individual sharing economy companies have the potential for global reach, collecting a little from each of millions of transactions around the world and funneling it to California.\n\nWe have had this ridiculous debate for the past thirty years in the old economy about work-life balance, because the honest truth is that life gets squeezed out by work. As Rachel says, we do jobs we hate to buy things we don't need. But in this sharing economy, life is built in. So Etsy producers get to know their consumers and sell individualized goods. Whenever I take a Lyft or a Sidecar—ride-sharing organizations in San Francisco—I always ask them, \"So why are you doing this?\" Their first response is, \"To interact and meet new and interesting people.\" And then secondly, for the flexible hours and a bit of extra cash.

A bar chart released by the bureau when it closed its nearly nine-year-old Amerithrax case in February showed that in August and September 2001, the months immediately before the first anthrax letters were mailed, Ivins logged 34 more hours in the B3 suite than his combined total for the previous seven months.\n\n\"That's more than 8,000 hours (close to a year) short of what he would have needed to grow the anthrax,\" Heine told ProPublica in an interview after his NAS presentation.\n\nHeine, one of the few scientists at the Army lab with the skills to grow large batches of anthrax, told ProPublica it would have taken around \"100 liters of liquid anthrax culture,\" or more than 26 gallons, to grow all the dried spores that killed five Americans and infected 17 others.\n\n\"He couldn't have done that without us knowing it,\" said Heine.\n\nOther biodefense scientists who did not work with Ivins have done the same calculations and reached the same conclusion as Heine.\n\nThe FBI declined to comment on this latest challenge to its decision to end one of the most expensive manhunts in the bureau's 102-year history. In closing the case, the agency said Ivins alone was responsible for the anthrax letters. Ivins committed suicide in 2008.\n\nMany of Ivins' colleagues and some federal lawmakers protested that the FBI was premature in closing the books on Ivins before the academy had completed its review of the science undergirding the bureau's case. \"To this day, it is still far from clear that Mr. Ivins had either the know-how or access to the equipment needed to produce the material,\" said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., in written remarks published in March.\n\nThe day Heine and his Fort Detrick colleagues learned of Ivins' suicide in July 2008, Heine said they conferred and feared the FBI would then blame the attacks on someone who could no longer speak in his own defense. \"And the very next day, the bureau named Bruce the mailer,\" Heine recalled.\n\nBecause of an FBI gag order, Heine said he was unable to discuss these details until he left his job at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, where Ivins also worked developing anthrax vaccines.

Remember, XML is simply a format for representing hierarchical data. We do not have to use XML's angle brackets to serialize trees, and we could come up with many other formats. One such format, which is the one Lisp uses, is called an s-expression. S-expressions accomplish the same goals as XML but are much less verbose, making them better suited for typing code. I will explain s-expressions in a little while, but before I do, I need to clear up a few things about XML.\n\nLet's consider our XML example for copying files:\n\n\n\n\n\nThink about what the parse tree of this snippet would look like in memory. We would have a 'copy' node that contains a 'fileset' node. But what about attributes? How do they fit into our picture? If you have ever used XML to describe data and wondered whether you should use an element or an attribute, you are not alone. Nobody can really figure this out, and doing it right tends to be more black magic than science. The reason for that is that attributes are really subsets of elements. Anything attributes can do, elements can do as well. Attributes were introduced to curb XML's verbosity. Take a look at another version of our 'copy' snippet:\n\n\n../new/dir\n\nsrc_dir\n\n\n\nThe two snippets hold exactly the same information. However, we use attributes to avoid typing the same thing more than once. Imagine if attributes weren't part of the XML specification. Writing anything in XML would drive us nuts!\n\nNow that we have attributes out of the way, let's look at s-expressions. The reason we took this detour is that s-expressions do not have attributes. Because they are a lot less verbose, attributes are simply unnecessary. This is one thing we need to keep in mind when transforming XML to s-expressions. Let's take a look at an example. We could translate the above snippet to s-expressions like this:\n\n(copy (todir \"../new/dir\") (fileset (dir \"src_dir\")))\n\nTake a good look at this representation. What's different? Angle brackets seem to be replaced by parentheses. Instead of enclosing each element into a pair of parentheses and then closing each element with a \"/element)\", we simply skip the second parenthesis in \"(element\" and proceed. The element is then closed like this: \")\". That's it! The translation is natural and very simple. It's also a lot easier to type. Do parentheses blind first-time users? Maybe, but now that we understand the reasoning behind them, they are a lot easier to handle. At the very least, they are better than the arthritis-inducing verbosity of XML. After you get used to s-expressions, writing code in them is not only doable but very pleasant. And they provide all the benefits of writing code in XML, many of which we are yet to explore.\n\nLet's take a look at our 'task' code in something that looks a lot more like Lisp:\n\n(task (name \"Test\") (echo (message \"Hello World!\")))\n\nS-expressions are called lists in Lisp lingo. Consider our 'task' element above. If we rewrite it without a line break and with commas instead of spaces, it starts to look surprisingly like a list of elements and other lists (the formatting is added to make it easier to see nested lists):\n\n(task, (name, \"test\"), (echo, (message, \"Hello World!\")))", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2854, "chunk_idx": 8, "raw_sha1": "0f1c6b2932b61ddf067d79c9a5afefdd4d3aeeda", "raw_chars": 3218, "clean_chars": 3241, "edit_ratio": 0.3445, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We could apply the same logic to XML. Of course, the line above isn't really a list; it is a tree, just like its XML alternative. Do not let references to lists confuse you. Lists that contain other lists and trees are effectively the same thing. Lisp may stand for List Processing, but it is really tree processing, which is no different than processing XML nodes.\n\nWhew. After much rambling, we finally arrived at something that looks like Lisp—and is Lisp, really. By now, the mysterious Lisp parentheses, as well as some claims made by Lisp advocates, should have become clearer. However, we still have a lot of ground to cover. Ready? Let's move on!\n\nBy now, you must be tired of all the XML talk. I am tired of it as well. It is time to take a break from all the trees, s-expressions, and Ant business. Instead, let's go back to every programmer's roots. It is time to talk about the C preprocessor. What does C have to do with anything? You might ask. Well, we now know enough to dive into metaprogramming and discuss code that writes other code. Understanding this concept tends to be difficult because most tutorials explain it in terms of languages you do not know. However, there is nothing inherently hard about the concept. I believe that a metaprogramming discussion based on C will make the whole thing much easier to understand. So, let's see (pun intended).\n\nWhy would anyone want to write a program that writes programs? How can we use something like this in the real world? What exactly is metaprogramming? You already know the answers, you just do not realize it yet. To unlock this hidden vault of knowledge, let's consider a rather mundane task: simple database access from code. We have all been there. Writing SQL queries all over the code to modify data within tables quickly turns into repetitive hell. Even with the new C# 3.0 LINQ features, this remains a huge pain. Writing a full SQL query, albeit with a nice built-in syntax, to retrieve someone's name or modify their address is not exactly a programmer's idea of comfort. What do we do to solve these problems? Enter data access layers.\n\nThe idea is simple enough. You abstract database access—at least for trivial queries, anyway—by creating a set of classes that mirror the tables in the database and use accessor methods to execute the actual queries. This simplifies development tremendously. Instead of writing SQL queries, we make simple method calls or property assignments, depending on our language of choice. Anyone who has ever used even the simplest data access layer knows how much time it can save. Of course, anyone who has ever written one knows how much time it can cost. Writing a set of classes that mirror tables and convert accessors into SQL queries takes a considerable chunk of time. This seems especially silly since most of the work is manual. Once you figure out the design and develop a template for your typical data access class, you do not need to do any thinking. You just write code based on the same template over and over again. Many people have figured out that there is a better way. There are plenty of tools that connect to the database, grab the schema, and write code for you based on a predefined or custom template.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2864, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c532ccc2edb7a4711d3baa9a9e681b40c40d8f54", "raw_chars": 966, "clean_chars": 974, "edit_ratio": 0.0701, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Gallup\n\nJuly 11, 2012\n\nWASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ confidence in television news has dropped to a new low of 21%, with only 21% of adults expressing a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in it.

We thus propose that during coiled-shell development, Dpp acts as a trigger for asymmetric cell proliferation by producing a concentration gradient in the mantle from one spot of expression and diffusing to the other side of the mantle. In this study, we found that in the coiled-shell snail L. stagnalis, dpp is expressed in a local spot on the left or right side of the mantle edge, corresponding with the shell-coiling direction at the veliger stage, and continues to be expressed asymmetrically until the adult stage. By contrast, in limpets, dpp continues to be expressed symmetrically from the late trochophore stage to the adult stage. Furthermore, we found by western blotting using anti-phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 antibodies that Dpp signals are indeed distributed asymmetrically in the mantle edge in the coiled-shell snail and symmetrically in the non-coiled-shell limpet.\n\nIn the fruit fly, Dpp works as a morphogen during wing development, spreading through the target point and forming a concentration gradient that provides positional information. Rogulja et al. further showed that Dpp triggers cell division, and the division activity correlates positively with the concentration of the Dpp gradient. Hashimoto et al. suggested that in gastropods, Dpp might function by triggering the regulation of cell division in the mantle during shell formation. The cells of the mantle edge secrete shell-matrix proteins, and these proteins are transferred to the outer edge of the shell and mineralized with CaCO3. Therefore, if cells rapidly proliferate, more cells can secrete shell-matrix proteins in any one unit of time. We thus propose that during coiled-shell development, Dpp acts as a trigger for asymmetric cell proliferation by producing a concentration gradient in the mantle from one spot of expression and diffusing to the other side of the mantle. The Dpp gradient might then cause several different reaction thresholds, which in turn induce different levels of cell proliferation along the aperture. These different levels of cell division might then cause an asymmetric aperture expansion, causing a non-uniform shell growth and resulting in a coiled shell. Constant asymmetric expression of dpp, and thus a constant presence of the gradient until the veliger and adult stage of the snail, ensures the constant coiling during shell growth. Meanwhile, in the non-coiled-shelled limpets, symmetric aperture expansion and shell growth occurs because dpp is expressed symmetrically in the shell gland and the mantle edge, causing uniform cell division.\n\nA recent report of functional analysis of Dpp in L. stagnalis supports this hypothetical mechanism of shell coiling. When the embryos were treated with a Dpp signal inhibitor (dorsomorphin) at the trochophore and veliger stages, the juvenile shells showed a cone-like form rather than a normal coiled form. These results indicated that Dpp signals induce differences in shell growth rates around the aperture by their gradient.

The study provides new insights into how T-cell receptors reposition during an immune response, offering a deeper understanding of immune system regulation.\n\nWhen the body fights an invading pathogen, white blood cells, including T cells, must respond. Salk Institute researchers have now successfully imaged how vital receptors on the surface of T cells bundle together when activated. This study, the first to visualize this process within lymph nodes, could help scientists better understand how to modulate the immune system's activity to treat autoimmune diseases, infections, or cancer. The results were published the week of June 13, 2016, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\n\"We had seen these receptors cluster and reposition in cultured cells that were artificially stimulated in the lab, but we've never seen their natural arrangements in lymph nodes until now,\" said senior author Björn Lillemeier, an associate professor in Salk's Nomis Laboratories for Immunobiology and Microbial Pathogenesis and the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center.\n\nT cells are activated when receptors embedded in their outer membrane bind to other immune cells that have processed an antigen, such as a virus, bacteria, or cancer cell. Once activated, T cells switch on cellular pathways that help the body actively seek out and destroy the antigen while also remembering it for future encounters. Previously, by examining T-cell receptors in isolated cells under a microscope, researchers discovered that these receptors are arranged in clusters known as \"protein islands,\" which merge when the cells are activated.\n\nLillemeier sought more detailed information on how these receptors are arranged in tissue and how that arrangement changes when T cells are activated in living hosts. To achieve this, the team used a super-resolution microscope developed in the laboratory of co-senior author Hu Cang, an assistant professor at Salk's Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center and holder of the Frederick B. Rentschler Developmental Chair. This microscopy approach, called light-sheet direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM), allowed the researchers to observe T-cell receptors in the membranes of T cells within mouse lymph nodes at a resolution of approximately 50 nanometers.\n\nThe new imagery confirmed previous observations that protein islands of T-cell receptors merge into larger \"microclusters\" when T cells are activated.

Understanding how this molecular organization mediates the sensitivity of T-cell responses could help researchers make the immune system more or less sensitive.

This alternate is an additional emblem for us to use on everything from print to web to fabric.

In Alaska that buys approximately two Big Macs plus a Coke every other month to feed a family of four, living out their dreams of a life of leisure among the Grizzlies. Now, let me see. If we added several zeros to that number, we might get close to what BIG promises, holding all else constant.\n\nBut all else would not be constant if we paid “every man, woman, and child” in the US, say, $87,800 per year. Because we’d add just about two or three zeros to all prices and wages in the US—at least within a reasonably narrow margin of error. We’d simply raise the price of that life of leisure the BIG proponents promise, until we’d priced out the couch potatoes who are now willing to live on $878 a year in Alaska without work, but would want the same $87,800 that a BIG actually requires. (To be sure, it will get messier than that, but you get the idea. It amounts to little more than a quick devaluation of the currency. It could even be much, much worse than this if we all together decide to become couch potatoes to live out the BIG promised life of leisure–and then that $88k would buy just about nothin’.)\n\nI love the best quote ever from Dean Baker, to the effect that, in general, economists are not very good at economics.

Only a targeted jobs program, paying decent wages, will successfully fight poverty among the non-aged in a politically acceptable manner.\n\nMinsky went on: “We have to reverse the thrust of policy of the past 40 years and move towards a system in which labor force attachment is encouraged. But to do that we must make jobs available; any policy strategy which does not take job creation as its first and primary objective is but a continuation of the impoverishing strategy of the past decade. A necessary ingredient of any war against poverty is a program of job creation; and it has never been shown that a thorough program of job creation, taking people as they are, will not by itself, eliminate a large part of the poverty that exists”.\n\nAnd to conclude with my favorite quote from J.M.Keynes:", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2923, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "bc07607525778e61234e974f1404bf8cb230eabe", "raw_chars": 1543, "clean_chars": 1360, "edit_ratio": 0.7038, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The fact is that a large part of administration is unconnected with politics and should therefore be relieved, if not entirely, of the control of political bodies.

A woman married to a man for just nine months gets Social Security survivor’s benefits when he dies. But a woman living for 19 years with a man to whom she isn’t married is left without government support, even if her presence helped him hold down a full-time job and pay Social Security taxes. A newly married wife or husband can take leave from work to care for a spouse, or sue for a partner’s wrongful death. But unmarried couples typically cannot, no matter how long they have pooled their resources and how faithfully they have kept their commitments.\n\nThat marriages currently take place under the auspices of religion presents its own issue. When a member of the clergy marries a couple, he or she does so under the power of the law, essentially acting as a representative of the government. So when a church refuses to marry a gay couple, conflict could arise as to whether the church is acting as a representative of government (as it does when dealing with marriage) or as a religious organization. A 2007 position paper by the secular think-tank Center for Inquiry explored this issue, along with other issues relating to same-sex marriage, and argues that state-endorsement for domestic partnership is the best possible solution with regards to the separation of church and state, though they argue LGBTQ couples should be granted equal marriage rights so long as the state sanctions marriages.\n\nGay couples may actually be the ones most resistant to having domestic partnerships replace “marriage” on a legal level. Time magazine pointed this out after the California Supreme Court ruled against the ban on gay marriage:\n\nAfter all, what was the most sweeping part of the May 2008 decision Ming and his colleagues issued that granted gays the right to marry? It was the idea that the word marriage is so strong that denying it to gay couples violates the most sacred right enshrined in the state constitution: the right for all people to be treated with dignity and fairness. Just 10 months later, gay couples–whether or not they are among the 18,000 who married in the state before Prop 8 stopped the ceremonies–are loath to lose a word for which so many fought so hard and so long to have apply to themselves.\n\nIf the government no longer marries people, it cannot control who can and can’t get married, so the argument about gay marriage becomes irrelevant–the legal rights and protections of “marriage” are no longer at stake. Domestic partnership may still have conditions and qualifications, but the “sacred institution of marriage” loses its legal definition and with that the legal requirements necessary to enter it.

The designation 'Music Producer' has become common in the past twenty years or so, whereas sound engineers have existed since the era of radio broadcasting that commenced in the 1920s. These early professionals, often depicted in lab coats, looked quite different from modern sound engineers. It is important to understand the history of names and designations used in the field of music over the past hundred odd years.\n\nBefore the advent of music technology, music was composed by composers on paper. A composer would write down his musical ideas as music notation on staff paper. Think of classical greats such as Beethoven and Mozart. A composer would use instruments such as a piano or an organ to work on his compositions. A 'transcriber's help might be taken to formally notate the compositions. Let's take the example of a symphony. A symphony is meant to be performed by a large orchestra. The composer himself might conduct the orchestra or a 'conductor' might be commissioned for the recital. Imagine a 60-piece symphony orchestra performing for a live audience in the 18th century. There was no audio technology in the form of microphones and loudspeakers to take advantage of. But the audience had to be satisfied aurally. This was achieved through the acoustic properties of the concert hall. Acoustics happens to be the oldest field of sound engineering (Ancient Greeks were the first to delve into the field of acoustics). A skilled 'Acoustician' would design the room to constructively enhance and amplify the sound of the orchestra so that every person in the audience would receive optimum quality of sound.\n\nAlexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and Thomas Edison invented the Phonograph. Collectively they initiated the field of 'Audio Technology'. Sound could be now converted into an electrical signal and also stored as a recording. With the emergence of Radio as a mass media format and also with the increasing popularity of vinyl playback systems, the masses became used to the idea of listening to music over loudspeakers. Electric Guitars became popular in the fifties and led to the development of blues, jazz and rock. Technology was influencing the style of music, the methods used to capture the performers and the manner in which the audience consumed music. Singers, Songwriters and Bands replaced the Composer as the creator of music. An artist would write and compose his songs and perform them to his audience. Sometimes a songwriter would write and compose the songs only to be performed by someone else. Thus began the profession of commercial songwriter. An artist could be a talented song writer but could lack the skills required to transform his song into a full fledged composition including parts written for a larger musical ensemble. An 'Arranger' would be called in to address this requirement. An arranger would generally be classically trained and have background in transcription and orchestration. His skills would be used to make the composition more complete with additional parts such as strings, horns, percussions etc.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2944, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "767277ecdd56307008a10edfba908c360ee640c3", "raw_chars": 3373, "clean_chars": 3409, "edit_ratio": 0.5612, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "PC sales suffered a 14 percent drop in the first quarter, marking the largest single-quarter decline in the 20 years that IDC has been tracking the data. Fingers immediately began pointing at Windows 8, but the new Microsoft operating system is not to blame—at least not in the way many assume.\n\nTraditional PC sales are indeed down, but it is misguided to attribute this decline to a failure of Windows 8. Instead, the issue stems from the evolving definition of what constitutes a \"PC.\"\n\nFurthermore, Windows 8 runs well on older hardware and was offered at a bargain price. This reduced the incentive for users to purchase new PCs, even those who wanted to adopt Windows 8. Many who did buy new hardware for Windows 8 opted for a Surface Pro, another tablet, or a tablet-PC hybrid. This skews the data because analysts are not tracking PCs and tablets as a unified market.\n\nWindows 8 represents a radical shift from earlier versions of Windows, yet it also offers the familiar comforts of Windows 7. Its Modern interface was designed with touch-enabled devices in mind, and the operating system attempts to bridge the gap between a traditional PC and a tablet. Microsoft melds these two experiences, but in a split-personality manner that many users find uncomfortable. Additionally, the absence of a Start button was a significant point of contention. However, Windows 8's desktop mode is nearly identical to Windows 7, and users can easily simulate the Start button with third-party add-ons.\n\nPopular opinion suggests that millions of people using older, slower PCs were eager to buy new ones but were deterred by the radical changes in Windows 8. This is doubtful. If a user needs a new PC, they will get one, and this decision is separate from the choice to upgrade their operating system.\n\nWindows 8 may be to blame for the perception that PC sales are declining, but not because people dislike it. The problem lies in how PCs are sold and how the PC market is measured. In short, Windows 8 sales do not necessarily equate with PC sales.\n\nThe issue also relates to Microsoft's pricing strategy. When new processor, graphics, or networking technologies are introduced, users need new hardware to take advantage of them. They can upgrade existing hardware incrementally or buy a whole new PC that incorporates the new technology. A new operating system, however, does not always require new hardware. While new PCs come pre-loaded with the newest OS, this is often a fringe benefit. Most people do not buy a whole new computer just to upgrade their OS.\n\nThis is even more true with Windows 8 than with previous versions for two reasons. First, Microsoft ensured that Windows 8 runs efficiently on minimal resources. It outperforms Windows 7 and works better on weaker, legacy hardware. Unless a user specifically wants a touchscreen, there may be no compelling reason to get a new PC with Windows 8.\n\nSecond, Microsoft offered Windows 8 at a great deal. New versions of Windows are usually priced high enough to dissuade people from buying the OS by itself, thereby swaying them to buy a new PC instead. Why pay $150 or more for the operating system alone if you can buy a whole new PC with it pre-installed for only $100 more? Microsoft offered Windows 8 for just $40 in its first few months. At that price, it was much easier to decide to buy the OS alone, especially if new hardware was not required.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2950, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "50166da46946e9fedc23f5d9f8df0ccf56d2f99e", "raw_chars": 1329, "clean_chars": 1437, "edit_ratio": 0.5242, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On the team's recent comebacks, one player noted, \"It's a great lineup to be a part of.

Understanding how Palestinian freedom of movement is restricted is crucial to comprehending the severe impact of Israel's occupation on the daily lives of ordinary Palestinians.\n\nThis paper provides background information on how Israel has restricted Palestinian movement and the impact these restrictions have on Palestinian lives.\n\nWhen did Israel first begin restricting Palestinian movement?\n\nControl over Palestinian movement has been a feature of the conflict since 1948. Following the 1948 War, Israel incorporated into its own legal framework the Defense (Emergency) Regulations imposed by the British Mandate Authorities in 1945. These regulations were used to restrict the rights of Palestinians within post-1948 Israel, most notably their freedom of movement, which was controlled by permit requirements and curfews. In 1966, most of the restrictions imposed on Palestinian citizens of Israel under these regulations were lifted, but the regulations themselves remained in place. After the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967, the Defense (Emergency) Regulations were incorporated into the military laws used by Israel to administer the occupied Palestinian territory.\n\nFrom 1967 to 1972, the occupied Palestinian territory was declared a closed military area by the Israeli military, and many freedoms, including the freedom of movement for residents, were severely limited. In 1972, the Israeli military issued a general exit order that allowed Palestinians to enter Israel from the West Bank and Gaza during daylight hours with few limitations. During this period, Palestinians could also travel with relative freedom between the West Bank and Gaza.\n\nSome limits were imposed on the general exit permit during the First Intifada. Following the start of the First Gulf War in 1991, the general exit permit was revoked, and a general closure was declared over the occupied Palestinian territory. This marked the beginning of Israel's requirement that all Palestinians acquire military-issued permits if they wished to enter Israel or move between the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. This permit regime was formalized as part of the Oslo Accords, and Palestinian movement into and out of Israel, as well as between different parts of the occupied Palestinian territory, remains restricted to those Palestinians who have received travel permits from the Israeli military.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2946, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "78d83d13812f33fdcf6ddfbc76009c98c159ecd9", "raw_chars": 3469, "clean_chars": 3447, "edit_ratio": 0.0856, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Therefore, while Palestinian residents of Jerusalem can travel more freely than Palestinians from other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory most of the time, their ability to change their place of residence and to leave Jerusalem for an extended period is severely limited.\n\nHow is movement restricted in Gaza?\n\nThe movement of both goods and people into and out of Gaza was strictly limited in 2005 when Israel unilaterally withdrew its settlers and redeployed its troops from Gaza. In that year, Israel severely cut back the number of exit permits it gave to Palestinians wishing to leave Gaza. These restrictions were strengthened in 2006 after Hamas won the parliamentary elections that year. Following Hamas's electoral victory, Israel and the international community imposed sanctions against the Hamas-run Palestinian Authority. These sanctions included limitations on imports to and exports from all of the occupied Palestinian territory.\n\nIn 2007, following the Hamas-Fatah split which saw Hamas seize control of the Gaza Strip, sanctions against the Palestinian Authority were ended in the West Bank but strengthened in Gaza. These strengthened sanctions effectively placed a blockade over Gaza, severely limiting exports and imports and banning nearly all travel by residents of Gaza. Between 2007 and 2010, even basic necessities such as cooking gas, water filtration equipment, toilet paper, toothpaste, clothes, noodles, candy, and spices were blocked from entering Gaza. In 2010, the Israeli government announced an \"easing\" of the blockade and allowed for limited increases in imports such as clothing and food. However, severe restrictions on the import of many goods, including the raw materials necessary for industrial production, construction materials, medical supplies, fuel, and many consumer goods, were never lifted, and there was no easing on the restrictions imposed over exports from Gaza.\n\nThe movement of people into and out of Gaza is also severely restricted. Prior to the outbreak of the second Intifada, approximately 26,000 people were allowed to leave Gaza each day via the Erez crossing. During the first half of 2013, only 200 people on average crossed Erez each day. Students are denied exit to study abroad. Patients needing medical treatment not available in Gaza are delayed or blocked from reaching care. People with families in other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory are blocked from seeing their relatives. People wishing to leave to pursue work in other places are blocked from doing so. Nearly all access to the outside world for the residents of Gaza is blocked.\n\nWhat is the impact of the blockade on people in Gaza?\n\nThe blockade has had a devastating impact on the Gaza population, affecting all aspects of life. According to UN OCHA, as of June 2013:\n\nLess than 200 people per day were allowed out of Gaza via Israel in the first half of 2013.\n\nLess than one truckload of goods per day were allowed out of Gaza during the first half of 2013.\n\n57 percent of Gaza households are food insecure, and approximately 80 percent receive some form of food assistance.\n\n35.5 percent of those able and willing to work are unemployed, one of the highest unemployment rates in the world.\n\nDue to fuel shortages, there are power outages for up to 12 hours per day in most areas of Gaza.\n\nOnly 25 percent of households in Gaza receive running water every day, and then only for a few hours.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2964, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6976fff28d852bd690a4cf3e962a3be343a00be9", "raw_chars": 2306, "clean_chars": 1904, "edit_ratio": 0.9359, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In recent years, water ice and salts capable of melting this ice to produce liquid saline water, or brine, have been detected on Mars. Furthermore, indirect evidence for brine has been found in multiple areas across the planet. In this study, we simulate full diurnal cycles of temperature and atmospheric water vapor content at the Phoenix landing site for the first time. We demonstrate experimentally that, despite the low Mars-like chamber temperatures, brine forms minutes after the ground temperature exceeds the eutectic temperature of salts in contact with water ice. Additionally, we show that the brine remains liquid for most of the diurnal cycle when sufficient water ice is available to compensate for evaporation. This phenomenon is predicted to occur seasonally in polar regions where temperatures exceed the eutectic value and frost or snow is deposited on saline soils, or where water ice and salts coexist in the shallow subsurface. This finding is significant because the existence of liquid water is a key requirement for habitability.\n\nThe discovery of water ice and perchlorates at the surface and in the shallow subsurface of Mars is particularly interesting because these components could produce liquid saline water under present-day environmental conditions. Water ice has been discovered in the shallow subsurface of both polar and midlatitude regions. Salts capable of melting this ice at Mars' current environmental conditions and producing brine have been found in polar and equatorial regions, suggesting a global distribution. Evidence for salt hydrates and brine has been identified in areas ranging from polar to equatorial latitudes, despite the Martian atmosphere and top regolith being extremely dry.

It is realistic rather than greedy to say we could have done so much more. Our woeful lack of firepower up front has been the main problem; the strikers have been downright dreadful for much of the time. Coupled with regular disappearing acts from our defenders and keeper, we failed to dispatch teams we should have beaten. Had just a few draws become wins, we would have overtaken Arsenal and secured fourth place.\n\nRedknapp has to take some of the blame for this, yet he appears unwilling or unable to do so. When we win, he basks in the glory; when we lose, it is down to the players. Harry has infamously been dismissive of the value of tactics in the past. He does not really mean this, of course; the very last thing he can be accused of is naivety. However, he likes us to think he sends the players out to just play. Nevertheless, he has to take greater responsibility for our performances, both good and bad.\n\nThe regular selection of Crouch encouraged the use of the long ball. Earlier in the season, it went straight down the pitch, often too early, but varied as time went on by the player pulling away to the far post, hence the long looping ball. When Pavlyuchenko played, we did the self-same thing. Whilst this brought some rewards, too often it negated the advantage gained from our skilful, clever midfield. Luka and Rafa do not want to see the ball flying over their heads. Defenders have a fair idea of where the ball will go, therefore it is easier to handle. Too frequently, our strikers were ahead of the ball, stationary and waiting for it at the edge of the box. The problem is that the defenders are waiting too.\n\nAlso, and as a lover of attacking style it pains me grievously to say this, we were often too open to succeed in the Premier League. Although we developed greater resilience and an ability to hang on to possession, we lost it more easily than we should have on too many occasions, and the midfield did not work hard enough to tuck in and protect a lead. It is not about outright defence; rather, it is about adapting to the conditions on the pitch. That is the way it is in this league. This is tactics. This is the responsibility of the manager.\n\nRedknapp's great strength is that he is good with players. He takes their skills, fits them into position, and asks them to do what they are good at. Find a group of players whose skills dovetail, and you have a fine team. That is why players always say they like playing for him, because he plays to their strengths. There is nothing wrong with that, and his loyalty to some men by giving them a run in the side has meant that Bale, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, and latterly Sandro have developed their full potential.\n\nHe is more shaky when there is a gap. He does not adjust or enable the whole side to be as flexible and mobile as the best teams. For example, if Bale was out or he felt compelled to squeeze van der Vaart into the side, we struggled because we did not have another man to step in to play the same role. Square pegs in round holes. Modric shifted to the left, unaccountably taking our finest player from his best position, or Rafa wandering aimlessly from the right. Also, if he has it in for you, it is less Uncle Harry and more evil stepfather. Bent was never played in the right way, back to goal too often when he likes it in front of him, then ridiculed and off elsewhere.

A previous study suggests that brine formation from water ice is the most likely mechanism to produce liquid water within the diurnal cycle (Fischer et al., 2014). We focus on the formation of brine by the contact of either surface or subsurface water ice with calcium perchlorate, Ca(ClO4)2, because this salt is likely present at the Phoenix landing site (Hecht et al., 2009; Kounaves et al., 2014) and at Gale Crater (Glavin et al., 2013), suggesting that it is ubiquitous on Mars (Kounaves et al., 2014). Furthermore, the eutectic temperature of Ca(ClO4)2 is extremely low (TE ~ 199 K) (Marion et al., 2010), and it changes phases at similar environmental conditions as a salt mixture closely matching the individual cation/anion concentrations found in the regolith of the Phoenix landing site on Mars' polar region (Nuding et al., 2015). Finally, we focus on Ca(ClO4)2 because liquid solutions of other perchlorate salts have already been studied in detail (Chevrier et al., 2009). It is likely that perchlorates have been deposited at the Phoenix landing site by atmospheric processes and concentrated into patches at the surface and in the shallow subsurface by freeze-thaw cycles (Rennó et al., 2009; Cull et al., 2014). Our study focuses on the simplest process, the interaction of salts with water ice. This is the first step for the full understanding of brine formation on Mars. In the future, we plan to study the formation of brine by the interaction of saline soils with water ice.\n\nResults of four comprehensive laboratory experiments are discussed in this article. The first three experiments were designed to investigate the formation of bulk brine on the surface of Mars' polar region, such as in the material exposed in a shallow trench (Dodo-Goldilocks) excavated by the Phoenix robotic arm on Sols 18–19 of the mission (Smith et al., 2009). The fourth experiment investigates the evolution of Ca(ClO4)2 salt subjected to a lower-amplitude diurnal temperature cycle like that expected on the struts of the Phoenix lander where surface/shallow-subsurface material was splashed and formed spheroids (Rennó et al., 2009).\n\nThe Michigan Mars Environmental Chamber (MMEC) (Fischer et al., 2014) is used to simulate the environmental conditions throughout the full diurnal cycle of each experiment reported in this article. Sol 19 of the Phoenix mission is chosen as the baseline because ice was unveiled at a depth of ~5 cm and removed with little effort around this sol (Smith et al., 2009), suggesting that it was likely frozen brine (Rennó et al., 2009; Cull et al., 2010a), which is much softer than freshwater ice.\n\nExperimental Setup\n\nAll experiments reported in this study were conducted in the MMEC, a cylindrical chamber with an internal diameter of 64 cm and a length of 160 cm. The MMEC is capable of simulating temperatures ranging from 145 to 500 K, CO2 pressures ranging from 10 to 10^5 Pa, and the entire range of relative humidity at the Phoenix landing site (Fischer et al., 2014).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 2976, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "decab907452e4bd53e1b1591858ac28ab137ec13", "raw_chars": 811, "clean_chars": 808, "edit_ratio": 0.286, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Spain’s maritime rescue service reported rescuing 224 migrants from five separate boats attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea.

It was back in the early 90s; I was around 6 years old and I was sitting in front of my friend’s Nintendo Entertainment System. “Wanna see something cool?” he asked me. How could I possibly refuse? He loaded up the cartridge for Super Mario Bros. and, to my dismay, all I saw was a blank screen. With a look of confusion, I silently stared at the console while my friend blew on the cartridge. After a few tries, I saw what I could only describe then as the most fascinating thing I ever experienced on a screen. I pushed a button on my controller, and a little 8-bit sprite moved. This, dear reader, is the moment I was introduced to a new dimension of entertainment.\n\nFor many of you, I could safely assume that your first experience in gaming was similar. For some of the gamers born after the mid-90s, however, the sentiment may be a little more difficult to relate to. In fact, one could postulate that a small subset of gamers browsing our little corner of the internet only ever played games by touching a screen on a mobile phone.\n\nIt doesn’t matter. We’re all united. We are all gamers.\n\nIt is for this very reason that I think that we should protect each other. We come from different backgrounds, have different political leanings, and prefer different types of games. Some of you may be irreconcilably different from me in such a way that in other areas of discussion we’d be at each other’s throats. This isn’t the time for fighting, though. We know better than that. The one thing that we find in common is games. If someone attacks them instead of discussing them in an intellectually honest matter, it’s a fair bet to say that this person will stir plenty of ire from people who actually play the games they are spewing nonsense about.\n\nIt’s important that while we’re enduring the massive pile of whatever the hell this is, we also don’t lose sight of the younger gamers who are completely unacquainted with the culture that we’ve had for decades. In the past, you bought a game and played it, period. End of story. You waited until the next game came out and played that, too. Then, multiplayer came along and we were finally able to compete in a fully open arena full of hormone-induced slurs and all of the other flack we throw at each other. With the birth of digital content and games that were installed on hard drives (as opposed to swappable cartridges), developers and artists worked together to broaden our experiences with expansion packs.\n\nTo some extent, all of these things are positive. On the other hand, we have publishers that put their hands a tad too far in the cookie jar at best. At worst, they demand half your cookie jar for what amounts to a whole lot of nothing. This is troubling because some game developers are breeding an army of new gamers who are complacent to pay-to-win games, microtransactions, and DLCs that really don’t add to the spirit and essence of the game. What’s even more troubling, perhaps, is the misrepresentation of games that have poor mechanics and lack the “soul” that makes them bona fide titles.

In such a world, you don't need statistics. Elaborate statistical analysis is typically required when you lack omniscience and need to gauge what is happening to prices, quantities, investments, and other economic variables. But in a video game world, all the data is immediately available. It is like being God, having access to everything and knowing exactly what every member of the social economy is doing.\n\nInterviewer: You have the perfect knowledge that every central banker wishes he or she had.\n\nVaroufakis: Indeed. Every congressman, every senator, every regulator, every banker, every Treasury official. It is equivalent to being omniscient, able to see and know everything that goes on in the economy. And that is amazing.\n\nInterviewer: You have said that you were not really a gamer before working with Valve. What did you learn about video game worlds? What surprised you?\n\nVaroufakis: The most poignant observation was the speed with which these economies evolve. Within a year, you have an evolutionary process that can replicate what happened in real-world economies in terms of creating a complex web of exchanges and sound economic systems. The real economy took centuries to develop. I did not expect to see institutions spontaneously generating within these social economies so fast and so furiously, thereby creating a growth rate that the real world would love to replicate.\n\nI also learned something else for which I am very grateful. We economists are very much disposed toward our models, and our models assume that economic choices converge very quickly toward some kind of equilibrium where demand equals supply and prices tend to their natural level. Well, that is not how the real world works. We should have known that.\n\nIn the video game world, it is quite astonishing to watch. Quickly, collective aggregate behavior converges at equilibrium and then disequilibrates itself. Then some other equilibrium comes and then goes away. It is the speed and the irregularity of behavior around some equilibrium and the speed with which new equilibria are being formed.\n\nInterviewer: So is there a real-world lesson that you can draw out from having seen this irregularity pop up in virtual economies?\n\nVaroufakis: Absolutely. Let me put it very brutally and very bluntly: Our best economic models—from the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, the International Monetary Fund, or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development—are really not worth the trouble of putting together. Because they are presuming a kind of equilibrium stability and convergence toward equilibrium, because it makes our models look better. It is not something that is replicated in the real world.\n\nInterviewer: You once wrote that because of its heavy reliance on statistics and on this sort of simple modeling, economics can resemble \"computerized astrology.\" That is pretty harsh.

While the anime arguably handles them better, this approach means the scenes are cut down nicely and kept short and to the point.

The analysis reveals that China's upward movement up the value chain has the potential to generate significant spillovers.

Based on samples seized by police and analyzed by Health Canada's Drug Analysis Service, these statistics provide the first national snapshot of how rapidly illicit fentanyl has spread eastward from British Columbia.\n\nAmid a lack of national surveillance data on Canada's deadly opioid crisis, the lab results offer fresh evidence of a booming underground market for fentanyl. A Globe and Mail investigation last year highlighted how China's chemicals industry has helped foster this illicit market. As the death toll from illicit drugs continues to climb, more communities are sounding the alarm. Mayors of Canada's largest cities plan to meet with federal ministers to discuss a coordinated response to an unprecedented rash of opioid overdoses and deaths.\n\nUnlike the United States, Canada lacks national systems for tracking the number of overdose deaths or visits to hospital emergency departments, a gap that federal Health Minister Jane Philpott has pledged to fill. \"In the absence of real-time monitoring, we are looking to seizure data, emergency calls, and on-the-ground reports,\" said Michael Parkinson, a community engagement coordinator with the Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council.\n\nLaboratories operated by Health Canada detected fentanyl in 3,721 illegal drug samples in 2016, compared to just 231 in 2012, according to statistics obtained by The Globe. While fentanyl accounted for a tiny portion of all drug samples, it is growing at a much faster rate than other categories. Benoit Archambault, national director of the Drug Analysis Service, noted that the labs received 120,000 samples in 2016, an increase of 2 to 3 percent per year.\n\nBritish Columbia, the epicenter of the opioid crisis, accounted for half of all samples containing fentanyl in 2016 and saw its numbers triple from 2015. However, every province and territory has been exposed to the powerful opioid. The number of samples containing fentanyl doubled between 2015 and 2016 in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Alberta bucked the trend, with a 27 percent rise in 2016.\n\nThe drugs analyzed by the labs do not indicate how much fentanyl is available on the street, as a sample can range from a couple of pills to several kilograms, Mr. Archambault explained. Nor do the samples represent all police seizures. Illicit fentanyl first appeared in Canada after the prescription painkiller OxyContin was pulled from the market in 2012.

Officials from the nonprofit American Astronomical Society are warning people looking to buy the special lenses that allow you to stare directly at an eclipse as it is happening to steer clear of phony or counterfeit products being sold online. Buying inadequate glasses, the group says, could lead to serious eye damage.\n\nThe proper lenses should meet what is called \"ISO 12312-2\" (sometimes written as \"ISO 12312-2:2015\") international safety standards, according to the group. Accredited manufacturers print a logo bearing this identifying mark on their products and packaging. However, vendors seem to be slapping that label onto glasses that do not meet the qualifications, possibly looking to earn a quick buck amid the excitement surrounding the August 21 celestial event.\n\nThis has experts worried. \"We used to say that you should look for evidence that they comply with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for filters for direct viewing of the sun,\" according to a statement on the American Astronomical Society's website. \"But now the marketplace is being flooded by counterfeit eclipse glasses that are labeled as if they are ISO-compliant when in fact, they are not.\"\n\nAccording to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the only time it is safe to view a solar eclipse without \"eclipse glasses\" or special viewing lenses is during the moment of \"totality,\" when the moon completely obscures the sun's glaring disk. Before and after that moment could spell trouble for spectators trying to peer up toward the rare, natural occurrence. \"People should never look directly into the sun except when it is in totality,\" said Christine Jones, a senior astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and president of the society. \"People can seriously damage their eyes,\" she said.\n\nA full solar eclipse will only be visible in what experts call the \"path of totality,\" a 70-mile-wide corridor that stretches from Oregon to South Carolina. Totality will only occur for roughly two minutes. For everyone else who is not within the path, such as residents in Massachusetts, only a partial eclipse will be visible when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. That means finding the right specs is a must.\n\nIn its warning about faux products, the society pointed to a recent report by Quartz, which scoured Amazon for unsafe glasses being sold to the public as the hype grows ahead of the eclipse. \"Unscrupulous vendors can grab the ISO logo off the Internet and put it on their products and packaging even if their eclipse glasses or viewers have not been properly tested,\" the society said. \"This means that just seeing the ISO logo or a label claiming ISO 12312-2 certification is not good enough.

TCP was originally designed for an era when hosts had a single network interface and a single IP address. Each TCP connection is identified by a four-tuple consisting of source and destination addresses and ports, and every packet belonging to this connection carries this four-tuple. Once a TCP connection has been established, it is impossible to change any of the elements of the four-tuple without breaking the connection—a severe limitation in today’s networks for several reasons.\n\nMany hosts are dual-stack. Even if they have a single interface, they have two or more addresses, and there are different network paths between any pair of communicating hosts. Many hosts have several interfaces, such as smartphones and tablets. There is also a growing number of mobile hosts on today’s Internet with addresses that can change as they move from one wireless network to another.\n\nMultipath TCP handles these issues by extending TCP to enable end-hosts to exchange data belonging to one connection over different paths. To achieve this, Multipath TCP combines several TCP connections, called subflows in RFC 6824, into a single Multipath TCP connection. The first subflow starts with a three-way handshake, much like a regular TCP connection. The main difference is that the SYN packet contains an MP_CAPABLE option that negotiates the use of Multipath TCP and random keys.\n\nOnce the first subflow has been established, either of the communicating hosts can create an additional subflow from any of its own addresses toward any of the addresses of the remote host by sending a new SYN with the MP_JOIN option. Such subflows can be created and terminated at any time, which is very important for mobile hosts. Data can be sent over any of the subflows that currently compose the Multipath TCP connection. If a subflow fails, all the data that was transmitted over it that has not yet been acknowledged will be retransmitted over other subflows.\n\nToday there exist multiple independent interoperable implementations of Multipath TCP. The most widely used are those in iOS/macOS and Linux. Multipath TCP is supported by load balancers, and there are implementation efforts on FreeBSD and Solaris. This article describes several commercial services that leverage the unique capabilities of Multipath TCP.\n\nSmartphones\n\nThe largest deployment of Multipath TCP is on smartphones.\n\nEnd-to-end Multipath TCP\n\nSmartphones often have connectivity to both a WiFi access point and a cellular network. If a user has Internet connectivity via WiFi, walking away from the WiFi access point will result in the smartphone losing connectivity, implying that the TCP connection that has been established over WiFi will also fail. One of the benefits of Multipath TCP is its ability to seamlessly hand over from one interface to another, making it the perfect candidate to solve these kinds of connectivity losses.\n\nSiri is the digital assistant in Apple’s iOS and macOS operating systems. Because speech recognition requires tremendous processing power, Siri streams spoken commands to Apple’s datacenter for speech recognition, and the result is sent back to the smartphone. Although the duration of a user’s interaction with Siri is relatively short, Siri’s usage pattern made this data transfer a perfect client for MPTCP.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3018, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "625b6217415c7381f251c280b80ecd6e578eaa36", "raw_chars": 3452, "clean_chars": 3483, "edit_ratio": 0.3229, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Even Russia’s closest allies are reluctant to support its actions.

This marked the first time its leaders had publicly turned against Russia on such a major strategic issue. The Kazakh Foreign Ministry stated, \"Kazakhstan expresses deep concern over the developments in Ukraine,\" and \"calls on all sides to stop the use of force in the resolution of this situation.\"\n\nWhat likely worries Russia’s neighbors most is the statement the Kremlin made on March 2, following a phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Putin noted that in the event of any escalation of violence against the Russian-speaking population in the eastern regions of Ukraine and Crimea, Russia would not be able to remain passive and would resort to whatever measures were necessary in compliance with international law. This sets a horrifying precedent for all of Russia’s neighbors.\n\nEvery state in the former Soviet Union, from Central Asia to the Baltics, has a large Russian-speaking population. This statement implies that Russia reserves the right to intervene militarily whenever it perceives that population to be threatened. The natural reaction of any Russian ally in the region would be to seek security guarantees to avoid becoming the next Ukraine. For countries in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, including Armenia—a staunch Russian ally—this would likely stir desires for a closer alliance with NATO and the European Union. For the countries of Central Asia, Russia’s traditional geopolitical sphere, it would mean strengthening ties with nearby China, including military cooperation.\n\nChina, which has long been Russia’s silent partner on global security issues ranging from Syria to Iran, has also issued cautious statements regarding Russia’s actions in Ukraine. The Chinese Foreign Ministry reportedly stated on Sunday, \"It is China’s long-standing position not to interfere in others’ internal affairs. We respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.\"\n\nThus, in the course of a single weekend, Putin has spooked all the countries he hoped to include in his grand Eurasian Union, a bloc of nations he envisioned would restore Russia’s status as a regional power. The only enthusiastic participants in that alliance so far have been Kazakhstan and Belarus, known as Europe’s last dictatorship. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has remained silent on the Russian intervention in Ukraine. However, last week, Belarus recognized the legitimacy of the new revolutionary government in Kiev, marking a major break from Russia, which has condemned Ukraine’s new leaders as extremists and radicals. The Belarusian ambassador in Kiev even congratulated Ukraine’s new Foreign Minister on taking office and expressed a desire to work with him.\n\nAs for the impoverished nation of Armenia, a latecomer to Russia’s fledgling Eurasian alliance, it has also recognized the new government in Kiev while stopping short of any official condemnation of Putin’s intervention in Ukraine.

Former member Karl Bartos tells DW how the unique ensemble wrote its music before computers went mainstream—and why cycling hurt their style.\n\nDubbed \"The Beatles of electronic dance music\" by The New York Times in 1997, Düsseldorf-based band Kraftwerk pioneered the genre, and some see them as the grandfathers of techno. They began mixing musicality with automation in 1970, long before computers became everyday tools. Still active today as a four-man ensemble, Kraftwerk has seen members come and go over the years. Karl Bartos joined in 1975.\n\nDW: Mr. Bartos, you left Kraftwerk in 1990 after a conflict. Now you're publishing your autobiography, \"Der Klang der Maschine\" (The Sound of the Machine). What is important to you to get across?\n\nKarl Bartos: George Orwell said, \"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.\" That means there is no such thing as objectivity. But for more than 40 years, we've been hearing the same story about Kraftwerk. I think another perspective can be useful. I've tried to explain how our music was created and what our thought process was.\n\nBefore you joined Kraftwerk in 1975, you played with a variety of bands in Düsseldorf. What was the mood like back then?\n\nLooking back, it was a gift to have been able to experience the '60s and '70s. The music of the '60s had an unbelievable power for my generation. It brought the message that you shouldn't believe everything you're told by the authorities. I think the youth of the world spoke to each other during this time—without going through the authorities. And that resulted in this really interesting music.\n\nThen you studied music at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, where you first came into contact with Kraftwerk. The band was looking for a classical percussionist for a live show.\n\nWhen my professor, Ernst Göbler, passed that information on to me, it was just one of many gigs I had at the time. There were so many bands back then and so many opportunities to play live. The DJ hadn't been invented yet.\n\nI got along really well with Kraftwerk at the gig. We didn't know where it would lead. Nothing had been set in stone yet.\n\nYou participated in the studio recording of Kraftwerk's album \"Radio-Aktivität\" and helped write songs for the album \"Trans Europa Express.\" How did Kraftwerk go about composing new material?\n\nWe held writing sessions in the Kling Klang Studio, which meant that we stood in a circle and improvised—like jazz musicians. That was the second half of the '70s; there were no computers. But we had a little music machine that could repeat back 16 tones. That was the only machine in our studio.\n\nWe would improvise, look at each other, laugh our heads off, and record ourselves. During these sessions, we created the raw material for our compositions.

Manager John Gibbons confirmed that Mat Latos was informed he will not be on the team, and a source told Sportsnet that Latos would stay with the organization rather than utilize one of the opt-outs in his minor-league contract.\n\nGibbons also confirmed that out-of-options reliever Bo Schultz is slated to visit a specialist in New York on Tuesday to examine an elbow injury and will start the season on the disabled list. This turn of events seemingly leaves swingman Mike Bolsinger, power arms Ryan Tepera and Dominic Leone, and lefty Aaron Loup up for the final two spots in the bullpen.\n\nIndications are that Loup will make the club as a second lefty to complement J.P. Howell, leaving the final spot between Bolsinger, who offers length and is out of options, and Tepera and Leone, who can be optioned.\n\n\"Ideally one of those spots can give you some innings, that’s very important, that way we can protect our go-to guys a little bit,\" said Gibbons. \"One of those guys needs to be able to throw two, three innings, that’s for sure.\"\n\nThe Blue Jays will be happy to keep Latos around to offer further starting depth at Triple-A Buffalo alongside options such as Casey Lawrence and Lucas Harrell. One of their primary concerns is who steps in if one of their starters gets hurt, and given his past success, Latos offers a nice insurance policy.\n\n\"We’d love him to go down to Triple-A, keep starting down there in case something happens and we need him,\" said Gibbons, adding that the final bullpen composition was \"still up in the air … that’s going to come down to the wire.\"\n\nA handful of players were seen being tapped on the shoulder to learn of their fate.

Former senior Obama administration officials are quick to point out that these actions create significant ethical conflicts and unprecedented government overreach.\n\nLet us examine the interventions first. Obama officials argue that the financial meltdown of 2008 created an existential crisis for the economy, justifying extraordinary measures. The outgoing George W. Bush administration agreed, which is why both supported the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and the auto bailout. However, those were sector-wide actions affecting millions of people, subject to tight constraints that Trump has certainly not adopted. Steven Rattner, who oversaw the car-industry bailout, recalled the strict principles developed to limit government involvement. He noted that while officials hated the idea of the U.S. government owning equity in companies like General Motors, they concluded it was better to get something for something than nothing. To mitigate risks, the administration established principles for the government as a shareholder, adding strict limits on post-restructuring involvement and an edict against meddling in day-to-day management. They explicitly rejected placing government employees or official representatives on corporate boards, instead seeking capable independent directors, including former CEOs and private equity experts. Rattner emphasized that there was no political interference in these choices.\n\nContrary to popular belief, Rattner was not sitting in his office deciding which auto plants to close, which dealerships would fail, or which car models to develop. By contrast, Trump is micromanaging the economy to an extent heretofore unimaginable. When the Obama administration undertook a much broader initiative, conservatives screamed that it was industrial policy with devastating consequences. Now, they remain silent while Trump does something arguably worse: picking out individual companies and telling them how to run their operations.\n\nOn the issue of government ethics, no president has attempted to retain ownership of active, highly visible businesses, let alone have them managed by relatives, while making daily decisions that affect the value of those holdings.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3048, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "0811af6280bde1cbd19b2a1b8a33c933d0bc4695", "raw_chars": 838, "clean_chars": 639, "edit_ratio": 0.1347, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This is another in a long line of 'nudges' Facebook gives users to try to get them to spend more time on the site, and to make it users' sole destination when they go online.

He attempts to explain the paranoia that people often project onto new technology, reminding Don that computers were built by people who worked hard to create machines that would push society forward. Don remarks that the men who built the IBM 360 probably did not spend much time stargazing. Lloyd responds with a snappy one-liner, noting that those same engineers will be the ones to take us to the moon.\n\nThat is the thing, though. You can reach for the stars and the moon, but you have to be prepared to do the work to get there. The computer is not some miracle machine dropped into our laps like manna; it is the result of years of human toiling. If you want the moon, you have to do the work. Don is not the only one struggling to wrap his mind around this concept this week. Roger is forced to take a look at himself when his daughter, Margaret, runs away and joins a hippie commune, abandoning her son and her husband. He and Mona go to retrieve her, but Mona leaves after Margaret makes a particularly cruel remark about not having to lock herself in the bathroom with a bottle of gin. This leaves Roger alone with his daughter and a group of hippies.\n\nAt first, he plays along, helping prepare home-grown vegetables for dinner and trying to wrap his mind around their electricity-free setup, although he points out that they do have a truck. After all, this is a guy who has taken a pretty strong liking to dropping acid and having hotel-room orgies with young hippies over the past few years. He gets it, kind of.\n\nAfter spending the evening enjoying their back-to-nature routine, Roger and Margaret gaze up at the stars and the moon, bonding over the night sky's beauty. Roger remarks that every little boy wants to be an astronaut. But then Margaret sneaks off in the middle of the night, probably to take part in some orgy her dad was not invited to, and the next morning they are thrust back to earth. An angry Roger insists that Margaret come home and be a mother to her son. When she refuses, he tries to physically remove her, telling her it is time to leave Shangri-La.\n\nThe paradise lost metaphor becomes painfully clear when they wind up literally rolling around in the mud. Roger tries to tell his daughter that her son needs her, but she throws that back in his face by bringing up what an awful father he was to her. He leaves empty-handed, but at least it seems like he has learned that to be a good parent, you have to do the work. Maybe he will cancel the rest of his hippie sex parties and try the whole parenting thing again with his son, Kevin?\n\nRoger and Don seem to have both learned a few lessons this week. Namely, the paradise they have been dreaming of for years, the moon they have been reaching for, is not attainable when you eat the apple and expect everything to still be handed to you. In fact, it does not really exist at all. You have to do the work to get what you want, and sometimes that means toiling in the mud or doing unpleasant things to achieve that end goal and get as close to Shangri-La as you can.

Instead, they either fall into her traps, get ignored, or do everything they can to support her, all in a futile attempt to find the comedy that was promised. That was a big mistake. As long as you don’t go looking for laughs, Love and Friendship is an excellent period drama, with a fine supporting cast behind Beckinsale, filled out with the likes of Stephen Fry, Xavier Samuel, Emma Greenwell, and Chloe Sevigny as Lady Susan’s American best friend. I feel that character must have played a more substantial role in earlier cuts of the film but got somewhat marginalized on the way to the screen. It is truly a shame.\n\nEven though the film is chocked full of wonderful period sets and elegant costumes that help fully realize the world of Love and Friendship, it feels oddly modern. It feels almost like a reality TV program in the way it introduces characters and has them intersect. If it wasn’t for the fact that the promotional material said so, I’d barely recognize it as an Austen story. The drama almost feels over the top at times, especially when the character Lady Manwaring is on screen.\n\nOverall, Love and Friendship is a competent, if not dry and ultimately uneventful adaptation of one of Jane Austen’s lesser-known pieces of work, for good reason. The acting, set design, and costumes are par for the course for these types of productions, but I almost wish the film had taken the route that was depicted in the trailers. It would have felt far more fresh, rather than the kind of worn, been there, done that period piece that we got. On my second pass at the film, I found that my opinion on the movie stands: tepid.\n\nThe video presentation is solid. Love and Friendship was shot using the Arri Alexa digital camera and finished in 2K resolution for theatrical projection in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Presented on Blu-ray in 1080p, the theatrical aspect ratio is maintained. As if mirroring its cold, nefarious story, Love and Friendship proves to be a rather cold viewing experience. The costumes are elaborate, but never quite pop off the screen due to a rather muted color scheme of darker colors, set against a combination of shadows and natural lighting. As a result, Love and Friendship sometimes comes off as looking TV-esque in its depiction of the Victorian era, with flat lighting and very little contrast to go around. The digitally captured image, however, is incredibly detailed and razor sharp, with a noticeable layer of digital noise creeping into the shadowy interiors and bright exterior sequences. Much like the film, this 1080p presentation is competent, if not unremarkable.\n\nThe audio presentation is adequate. Love and Friendship is presented on Blu-ray with a 5.1 DTS-Master Audio surround sound presentation. As it is a film driven almost entirely by dialogue, Love and Friendship has an appropriately limited soundtrack, which almost entirely resides in the front three channels, with no application of the subwoofer and almost nothing being tossed to the surrounds. Dialogue is crisp and clear, and the film’s score, composed by Mark Suozzo, mostly resides in the left and right speakers, making room for the occasional piece of dialogue or sound effect, such as horse carts moving off screen.

If your home or stock portfolio value goes up over a decade or three, have you received \"income\"? It sure as heck feels like income. It increases your asset holdings and net worth. It’s new money in your pocket that you can spend now and in your retirement. (Maybe you have to sell things or borrow against them. Whatever.) How is that not income?\n\nBut in economics — actually right down to the core of national accounting methods — capital gains aren’t counted as income. And they don’t contribute to \"saving.\" Those gains are completely invisible to a huge bulk of the economics work (both empirical and theoretical) that is built on income and saving concepts and measures.\n\nEven Piketty and company, who importantly include capital gains income in their income data, don’t include it in their theorizing about income and saving. Ditto most Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) work, despite (or because of?) that group’s rigorous accounting-based approach.\n\nThere’s a historical reason: When FDR tasked Simon Kuznets and his cohorts to create the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs) in the 1930s, they had no means to measure or estimate people’s assets, net worth, or \"wealth.\" (The NIPAs didn’t have balance sheets, and still don’t. Cap gains don’t, can’t, exist in the NIPAs.) So they built incomplete accounting constructs that they called \"Income\" and \"Saving,\" that they could estimate based on measurable flows within the accounting period.\n\nThose incomplete constructs shamble on today in the Fed’s Flow of Funds matrix. It’s a closed-loop accounting construct that’s only closed because it balances to an artificial and incomplete balancing item called \"Saving\" (based on the incomplete definition of income). The Flow of Funds don’t sum to change in net worth — the very \"balance\" in \"balance sheets.\" Because cap gains are missing.\n\nTheory: The justification is that income is payments to \"factors of production\" — labor, capital, natural resources, etc. But think about it: when existing-asset markets go up, that’s the market looking at our previously created assets and \"realizing\" they’re worth more than they thought they were at the time of production and sale. So cap gains are delivering income from production — production in previous periods.\n\nData: Capital gains comprise 15-25% of comprehensive household income (it varies a lot year to year). Distribution estimates vary, but some are eye-popping: as much as 96% of capital gains income may go to those making more than a million dollars a year. In 2011, the top 1% of U.S. earners (median income, $1.4 million) got 36% of their income from capital gains — all invisible in the standard measure of \"income.\" This is only realized capital gains, of course, and it ignores capital gains from the $20-trillion-plus of invisible assets held in offshore tax havens.\n\nPolitics: by rendering capital gains income largely invisible to accounting, these incomplete income and saving measures make those flows largely invisible to economists, and hence to politicians, and to the whole political conversation about equality and distribution.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3083, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "d1a6cbaff686d32c2756c567b1a5a4615f8833a4", "raw_chars": 2131, "clean_chars": 2099, "edit_ratio": 0.73, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "They work well together and share effectively.

I am just so proud that Shane is part of it. V8 Supercars is polished.\"\n\nHow does Shane feel about the prospect of Jamie returning even harder next year? \"Oh, he will love it. He will strive for it. It will be good; he loves a challenge. We saw that when he drove through the field on Saturday at Homebush to win the championship. It is something that we have always loved, the concept of starting from the back in races, whether it be motocross or whatever. He was dominant in the quads back when he was in the junior class. At the grid starts, they used to run with him facing the wrong way, and he had to pass the whole, entire field. I have always been one to pass to race.\"\n\nDid you set out to train a champion race driver? \"No.\"\n\nSo why do that to him? \"It is what I used to do to myself. Initially, I wanted him to be a rally car driver. That is my passion, but it was actually Karen who got Shane to do the Formula Vee Scholarship and start road racing in 2004. So that was Karen's doing, not mine.\"\n\nDid he complain about having to start off the back facing backwards? \"No, he loved passing, and he loves passing. When he was nine years old in quarter midgets, he loved passing cars, both outside and inside, and he learned not to hit them. He would watch and learn how others behaved, finding their weaknesses.\"\n\nDoes Shane have any talented siblings coming through the ranks that we will be seeing soon?

The approach of using eigenfaces for recognition was developed by Sirovich and Kirby in 1987 and later used by Matthew Turk and Alex Pentland in face classification. The eigenvectors are derived from the covariance matrix of the probability distribution over the high-dimensional vector space of face images. The eigenfaces themselves form a basis set of all images used to construct the covariance matrix. This produces dimension reduction by allowing the smaller set of basis images to represent the original training images. Classification can be achieved by comparing how faces are represented by the basis set.\n\nThe eigenface approach began with a search for a low-dimensional representation of face images. Sirovich and Kirby showed that principal component analysis could be used on a collection of face images to form a set of basis features. These basis images, known as eigenpictures, could be linearly combined to reconstruct images in the original training set. If the training set consists of M images, principal component analysis could form a basis set of N images, where N is less than M. The reconstruction error is reduced by increasing the number of eigenpictures; however, the number needed is always chosen to be less than M. For example, if you need to generate a number of N eigenfaces for a training set of M face images, you can say that each face image can be made up of proportions of all these K features or eigenfaces. Face image 1 might be composed of 23% of E1, 2% of E2, 51% of E3, and so on.\n\nIn 1991, M. Turk and A. Pentland expanded these results and presented the eigenface method of face recognition. In addition to designing a system for automated face recognition using eigenfaces, they showed a way of calculating the eigenvectors of a covariance matrix in such a way as to make it possible for computers at that time to perform eigen-decomposition on a large number of face images. Face images usually occupy a high-dimensional space and conventional principal component analysis was intractable on such data sets. Turk and Pentland's paper demonstrated ways to extract the eigenvectors based on matrices sized by the number of images rather than the number of pixels.\n\nOnce established, the eigenface method was expanded to include methods of preprocessing to improve accuracy. Multiple manifold approaches were also used to build sets of eigenfaces for different subjects and different features, such as the eyes.\n\nA set of eigenfaces can be generated by performing a mathematical process called principal component analysis on a large set of images depicting different human faces. Informally, eigenfaces can be considered a set of standardized face ingredients, derived from statistical analysis of many pictures of faces. Any human face can be considered to be a combination of these standard faces. For example, one's face might be composed of the average face plus 10% from eigenface 1, 55% from eigenface 2, and even -3% from eigenface 3. Remarkably, it does not take many eigenfaces combined together to achieve a fair approximation of most faces. Also, because a person's face is not recorded by a digital photograph, but instead as just a list of values (one value for each eigenface in the database used), much less space is taken for each person's face.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3086, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "6d36cefe1e186d87372a1093164d5c31bba63b8d", "raw_chars": 3068, "clean_chars": 3023, "edit_ratio": 0.2655, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "If the distance d falls between two thresholds, ϵ1 < d < ϵ2, the subject U may be an unknown face and can be added to the database. However, if d > ϵ2, the system may reject the input.\n\nThe weights of each gallery image only convey information describing that specific image, not the subject itself. An image of one subject under frontal lighting may have very different weights compared to those of the same subject under strong left lighting. This limits the application of such a system. Experiments in the original Eigenface paper presented the following results: an average of 96% accuracy with light variation, 85% with orientation variation, and 64% with size variation (Turk & Pentland 1991, p. 590).\n\nVarious extensions have been made to the eigenface method, such as eigenfeatures. This method combines facial metrics, which measure the distance between facial features, with the eigenface representation. Another method similar to the eigenface technique is 'fisherfaces', which uses linear discriminant analysis [9]. This method for facial recognition is less sensitive to variation in lighting and pose of the face than using eigenfaces. Fisherface utilizes labelled data to retain more of the class-specific information during the dimension reduction stage.\n\nA further alternative to eigenfaces and fisherfaces is the active appearance model. This approach uses an active shape model to describe the outline of a face. By collecting many face outlines, principal component analysis can be used to form a basis set of models which encapsulate the variation of different faces.\n\nMany modern approaches still use principal component analysis as a means of dimension reduction or to form basis images for different modes of variation.\n\nEigenface provides an easy and cheap way to realize face recognition in that its training process is completely automatic and easy to code. Eigenface adequately reduces statistical complexity in face image representation. Once eigenfaces of a database are calculated, face recognition can be achieved in real time. Eigenface can also handle large databases.\n\nHowever, the deficiencies of the eigenface method are also obvious. It is very sensitive to lighting, scale, and translation, requiring a highly controlled environment. Eigenface has difficulty capturing expression changes. The most significant eigenfaces are mainly about illumination encoding and don't provide useful information regarding the actual face.\n\nTo cope with illumination distraction in practice, the eigenface method usually discards the first three eigenfaces from the dataset. Since illumination is usually the cause behind the largest variations in face images, the first three eigenfaces will mainly capture the information of 3-dimensional lighting changes, which has little contribution to face recognition. By discarding those three eigenfaces, there will be a decent amount of boost in accuracy of face recognition, but other methods such as Fisherface and Linear space still have the advantage.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3093, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a059af913e0edd4a7df6272bc558af1395b7100e", "raw_chars": 3228, "clean_chars": 3338, "edit_ratio": 0.4252, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Republic of China (Taiwan) officially denies possessing any weapons of mass destruction. While there is no current evidence that Taiwan holds chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, it has pursued nuclear capabilities in the past.\n\nThe development of nuclear weapons by the Republic of China has been a contentious issue, largely triggered by the People's Republic of China's first nuclear test in 1964. The United States, hoping to avoid escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, has continually opposed arming the Republic of China with nuclear weapons since 1979. Accordingly, the Republic of China adheres to the principles of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has officially stated that it does not intend to produce nuclear weapons. However, past nuclear research by the Republic of China classifies it as a \"threshold\" nuclear state.\n\nIn 1967, a nuclear weapons program began under the auspices of the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) at the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology. The Republic of China acquired nuclear technology from abroad, including a research reactor from Canada and low-grade plutonium from the United States. While these acquisitions were ostensibly for a civilian energy system, they were allegedly intended to develop fuel for nuclear weapons.\n\nDuring the 1970s, the Republic of China maintained an active program to produce plutonium using heavy water reactors. However, after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found evidence of the Republic of China's efforts to produce weapons-grade plutonium, Taipei agreed in September 1976, under U.S. pressure, to dismantle its nuclear weapons program. A 1977 study by the Mitre Corporation included Taiwan in a list of \"insecure\" nuclear threshold states—nations with the technical capability to develop nuclear weapons and the security motivations to seriously contemplate such an option. The other states on this list were Israel, South Africa, South Korea, and Yugoslavia. U.S. intelligence also believed that the Republic of China had designed devices suitable for nuclear testing.\n\nA secret program was revealed when Colonel Chang Hsien-yi, deputy director of nuclear research at INER, defected to the United States in December 1987. Colonel Chang, who had been secretly working for the CIA, produced a cache of incriminating documents. General Hau Pei-tsun claimed that scientists in Taiwan had already achieved a controlled nuclear reaction. Under pressure from the United States, the program was halted. A subsequent study into the secret program concluded that at the time of Colonel Chang's defection, Taiwan was one or two years away from being able to complete a nuclear bomb.\n\nDuring the 1995–1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, then-President Lee Teng-hui proposed to reactivate the nuclear program but was forced to back down a few days later after drawing intense criticism.\n\nCurrently, there is no evidence that the Republic of China possesses any nuclear weapons or active programs to produce them. However, it retains advanced, state-of-the-art technological capabilities to develop nuclear weapons, including the ability to enrich uranium or process plutonium.

Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi's communications director, later amplified his boss's response, telling CNS News, \"You can put this on the record. That is not a serious question.\"\n\nThe U.S. Supreme Court thinks otherwise. On Monday, March 26, the Supreme Court will begin hearing three days of oral arguments devoted to the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including its controversial \"requirement to maintain minimum essential coverage.\" This requirement, also known as the individual mandate, forces all Americans to buy or secure health insurance under what Congress claims is its power \"to regulate commerce...among the several states.\"\n\nTwenty-six states, plus the National Federation of Independent Business and several individuals, are challenging the health care law, claiming it is an illegal power grab by the federal government that tramples the Constitution and undermines the principles of federalism.\n\nContrary to what Nancy Pelosi would have you believe, these challengers have a strong and serious case. Here are four of their best arguments against the individual mandate.\n\n4. The Individual Mandate Threatens the Foundations of Contract Law\n\nAmerican contract law rests on the principle of mutual assent. If I hold a gun to your head and force you to sign a contract, no court of law will honor that document since I coerced you into signing it. Mutual assent must be present in order for a contract to be valid and binding.\n\nThis view was widely shared by the framers and ratifiers of the U.S. Constitution. Here is how Pennsylvania lawyer James Wilson, a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, put it in one of his legal lectures:\n\n\"The common law is a law of liberty. The defendant may plead, that he was compelled to execute the instrument. He cannot, indeed, deny the execution of it; but he can state, in his plea, the circumstances of compulsion attending his execution; and these circumstances, if sufficient in law, and established in fact, will procure a decision in his favour, that, in such circumstances, he did not bind himself.\"\n\nThe individual mandate turns this longstanding legal principle on its head. After all, there is nothing mutual about the government forcing you to enter into a binding contract with a private company. As the Institute for Justice, the public interest law firm that pioneered this argument, explains in the powerful friend of the court brief it filed in the case, the framers of the Constitution \"would never have given, and in fact did not give, Congress, through the guise of the Commerce Clause, the power to gut the foundation upon which the entirety of contract law rests.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3101, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "c73c06e8143213946c91a98215d9b37086e33a94", "raw_chars": 2914, "clean_chars": 2760, "edit_ratio": 0.6123, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Some might argue that it was an entirely mad decision to up sticks and undertake a major architectural project right on the cusp of the 2008 economic downturn, especially just as Foyles was returning to profitability.

The construction was deterring shoppers from entering Charing Cross Road, costing the company an estimated £1.5 million in lost sales annually. However, inspired by one of the UK's most creative art schools, the project saw a window of opportunity to combine books and culture in a new, modern space while continuing the store's illustrious history.

As the economy contracts amid hyperinflation and collapsing production, Mr. Mugabe has created a vast new bureaucracy to oversee price controls on non-existent goods in the shops.\n\nHis finance minister maintains an official exchange rate so out of proportion with the hidden market that the central bank governor has to send his staff out to buy dollars on the street.\n\nThe regime has declared \"the mother of all agricultural seasons\" even though there is no bread in the shops because the wheat harvest has fallen short by two-thirds and production of tobacco, once Zimbabwe's biggest money earner, has dropped to one-fifth of what it once was. Cigarettes are in such short supply that a marijuana joint is cheaper.\n\nThe government has even announced plans to sell electricity to Namibia next year although it doesn't generate the power to keep lights on at home.\n\nThe reality is that a man living in a Harare township lucky enough to have a job earns, on average, Z$5 million a month, or £2.50 at the hidden-market rate.

Every other week, the news is filled with stories about Spotify ruining musicians, iTunes killing the album, and record labels clashing with Pandora. However, a closer look reveals that the core issue is not the end of the industry, but rather a failure to handle the significant changes taking place.\n\nThe Changing Landscape\n\nIn the last twenty years, the music industry has undergone more significant transformation than in its entire history, driven primarily by the arrival of the internet. It began with Napster, which allowed everyone to access music for free. A few years later, iTunes introduced a paid option, breaking albums into single-track downloads. Now, with the rise of Spotify and Pandora, endless debates continue. Stories emerge weekly about streaming services paying mere cents for thousands of streams, with some critics calling the model the \"last desperate fart of a dead corpse.\"\n\nThe recording side of the industry has also changed. MIDI samples are often substituted for studio musicians, Auto-Tune can make anyone sound decent, and studio editing can polish a botched performance into something radio-ready. Any kid with GarageBand and a microphone can instantly get their music heard by thousands. Consequently, the market is saturated with music, and hardly anyone is making money.\n\nThe live music scene faces similar challenges. Symphonies are closing, club owners are paying pitiful rates, and suddenly everyone is a DJ. It is difficult to see how anyone can afford live music in this economy.\n\nThe Music Industry Isn’t Helping\n\nDoes suing twelve-year-old children and eighty-three-year-old deceased women for hundreds of thousands of dollars solve anything? Is complaining about how things are not like they used to be going to change how people consume music?\n\nOne of my college professors provided great insight into this debate. He asked us, \"How do you get someone to pay for something when they could easily get it for free?\" The class unanimously agreed that it was impossible. We argued that if given the option, people will always take something for free rather than paying for it.\n\nThen he asked, \"What about bottled water?\" Well, crap.\n\nWhy Bottled Water Matters\n\nRemember the days before bottled water? You could get water anywhere: out of the tap, from a drinking fountain, or even from the sky. The best part was that it was all free. Doesn't that seem strange now? Fast forward a few years, and the bottled water industry makes over one hundred billion dollars a year. These companies are making billions of dollars every year by selling something that you can get for free.\n\nBefore you argue that \"Fiji is the nectar of the gods\" or \"Arrowhead tastes like it's bottled from the LA River,\" I am well aware of the differences between bottled water. You don't want to get me started on this.\n\nMusic isn't going anywhere. If there is one thing that has been made clear in the last twenty years, it is this: people love music. People want to listen to music. Napster, iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, and SoundCloud all prove this.\n\nMusic is essential to life, just like water. Yet people stream music on Spotify for free while drinking a three-dollar bottle of Evian. In Evian's defense, their pH levels are higher than tap water. I'm telling you, you don't get me started. The past twenty years have been a transition period for our industry as we try to figure out the \"bottled water of music.\" We haven't figured it out yet, but I'm hopeful that the music industry's best days are ahead.\n\nOne Industry Is Doing It Right", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3137, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d87db1125e4d0e56814d79c386664d21ed47dcef", "raw_chars": 3313, "clean_chars": 3303, "edit_ratio": 0.5487, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Turkey is retracting claims that a child suicide bomber sent by the Islamic State carried out Saturday's blast at a Kurdish wedding, which killed 54 people.

Early information on who did the attack, in what organization's name, is, unfortunately, not right,\" he told reporters.\n\nPresident Recep Tayyip Erdogan had earlier described the bomber as being between 12 and 14 years old and sent by the Islamic State. Nearly all the victims were Kurds younger than 18. No group has claimed responsibility, but the style of the attack and the type of bomb used were similar to previous blasts blamed on the Islamic State.\n\nThe bomber attacked a Kurdish wedding and celebration in Gaziantep, a city located just 60 kilometers north of Syria and home to a prominent refugee community fleeing the five-year civil war in Syria. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu vowed on Monday that his country would \"completely cleanse\" Islamic State militants from its border region with Syria.\n\nOn Tuesday, Turkish soldiers launched a barrage of shells into Islamic State-held territory along Syria's northern border in retaliation for an Islamic State mortar attack. Turkish media reported that 40 shells were fired. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that rebel fighters were massing inside Turkey to carry out an offensive on the Islamic State-held Syrian town of Jarablus. Cavusoglu did not confirm the rebel plans but stated that Ankara supports any group fighting the Islamic State.\n\nThe Gaziantep attack occurred amid continuing turmoil in Turkey in the month following President Erdogan's government's survival of an attempted coup by rogue military officers, which the Turkish leader has blamed on U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen. In an earlier written statement, Erdogan said there is \"no difference\" between the Islamic State, the militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and Gulen's followers. \"Our country and our nation have again only one message to those who attack us - you will not succeed!\" he said.\n\nThe White House condemned the Gaziantep attack, stating that the \"perpetrators of this barbaric act cynically and cowardly targeted a wedding.\" The statement added that Vice President Joe Biden would visit Ankara on Wednesday to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to work together with Turkey against the \"scourge of terrorism.\"\n\nWitnesses said the blast, the deadliest terror attack in Turkey this year, occurred in a packed street of people dancing and celebrating a marriage. Speaking on Sunday while surveying the wreckage, local resident Ibrahim Ozdemir said people were in shock. \"Our friends and neighbors were there. We are so sad and in pain. The attack is an atrocity,\" he said. \"We want to end these massacres. We are in pain, especially the women and children.\"\n\nThe Turkish city is about 90 kilometers from the Syrian city of Manbij.

Internal consistency was acceptable, with Cronbach's alpha of .71 for the suppression factor and .78 for the reappraisal factor. This is similar to the average Cronbach's alpha reported in previous studies ([5]; suppression factor: .73, reappraisal factor: 0.79). In the structural images, we found a positive correlation between inter-individual differences in expressive suppression of emotions and inter-individual differences in grey matter volume in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) (MNI coordinate: 13, 52, 32; cluster of 1364 voxels; Brodmann area 9 extending into Brodmann area 32; Figure 1A). No cluster of grey matter volume survived for the negative correlation with expressive suppression or for the correlations with the cognitive reappraisal score of the ERQ.\n\nFigure 1 shows brain regions demonstrating a positive correlation (yellow) between expressive suppression of emotions and grey matter volume. The dmPFC (MNI coordinate 13, 52, 32) showed a significant correlation (p < 0.001, corrected for multiple comparisons by means of Monte Carlo simulation) (A). Clusters of significant fMRI activation in previous studies during voluntary suppression of action are also shown (left: −2, 41, 37; right: −7, 42, 21) (B).\n\nDiscussion\nIn line with our a priori predictions, the present finding links the self-reported tendencies to use expressive suppression strategies of emotion regulation to grey matter volume in the dmPFC. More specifically, participants who habitually suppress their emotions show a significant increase in grey matter in the frontomedial wall. The fact that this self-report measure is related to structural characteristics in the brain can be seen as support for the notion that emotion regulation strategies constitute relatively stable inter-individual differences.\n\nThe location of the grey matter correlation with expressive emotion suppression is in line with our predictions based on previous functional neuroimaging research relating the dmPFC to self-control of actions and more complex urges [9]–[12]. In a study exploring the vetoing of actions, we asked participants to press a button at a time of their own choice but to inhibit the execution of the response on some trials that they were free to choose. When comparing voluntary inhibition with voluntary action trials, brain activation was found medially in the dmPFC (MNI coordinates: −2, 41, 37). In a follow-up study, we used an entirely different paradigm in which the button press was rewarded to ensure reliable action preparation, and therefore more effortful action suppression ([10], Figure 1B, MNI coordinates: −7, 42, 21).\n\nOf note, the peak coordinate of the structural correlations is found in the right hemisphere, whereas the functional peak coordinates are located in the left hemisphere. One might speculate that this is in line with the traditional assumption that the right hemisphere is specialized in emotion processing [20]. Furthermore, activation of the dmPFC has been reported during the inhibition of more complex urges, such as cigarette craving [11] or loss chasing in gambling [12]. In the former study, smokers were exposed to cues depicting tobacco paraphernalia and were instructed to resist the wish or to freely crave for a cigarette.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3151, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "c7dd198cb6ce9d0a37ceabbb19d472d91f97dded", "raw_chars": 1962, "clean_chars": 1975, "edit_ratio": 0.0998, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Fogle's rise as a sandwich spokesman turned the Hoosier into a celebrity.

For many owners and renters, these platforms provide a way to convert a home or spare room into extra income. However, Mike Casey, the longtime president of the hotel workers' union UNITE HERE Local 2, views Airbnb and comparable websites as an existential threat.\n\n\"There are probably several hundred jobs lost each year as a result of people choosing Airbnb over unionized hotels,\" Casey said. \"But probably of even greater impact is the effect it is having on affordable housing.\"\n\nCasey cited a March 2015 report from the left-leaning advocacy group the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE). The report argues that the prevalence of Airbnb units in Los Angeles gives landlords and homeowners an opportunity to seek tourism dollars where they would have otherwise rented housing to city residents. As a result, the report's authors contend that Airbnb is constricting housing supply and driving up rental costs. LAANE also alleges that the growing popularity of Airbnb could eliminate hotel jobs, replacing them with a handful of lower-paying domestic worker gigs.\n\n\"San Francisco is going to be like Manhattan very soon, where there's the pretty well-off and affluent, and then there's the very poor, and there's not much middle class or working class left,\" Casey said.

According to its website, Airbnb \"generates approximately $56 million in local spending and supports 430 jobs\" in San Francisco. Rather than contributing to the city's affordability crisis, the company argues, it helps San Franciscans remain in their homes by providing an extra source of income.\n\nAirbnb declined to comment on the record, but CEO Brian Chesky addressed the criticism in a recent interview with the radio program \"Marketplace.\"\n\n\"I'm totally sympathetic to the complaints.

Hotels have record occupancy rates,\" he said. \"And a lot of people, when we launched, thought we couldn't coexist.

The current procedures make it impossible. But I can say one thing: I'm no devil. The public may think that, but eventually everyone will get a better understanding of the situation and that image will change.\"\n\nBruyneel was removed as manager of the RadioShack team in October following the publication of the USADA Reasoned Decision regarding the Armstrong case. He is mentioned repeatedly in USADA's dossier on the doping culture within the US Postal Service team. A nine-page section titled \"Johan Bruyneel's involvement in doping\" provides rigorous detail about the Belgian's organization of the doping program. It states, \"The overwhelming evidence in this case is that Johan Bruyneel was intimately involved in all significant details of the US Postal team's doping program. He was on top of the details for organizing blood transfusion programs before the major Tours, and he knew when athletes needed to take EPO to regenerate their blood supply after extracting blood.\"\n\nBruyneel did not outright refute these allegations in the Humo interview but denied that he had placed his riders' health at risk. \"These accusations hit me very heavily, and when my mother calls me in tears because she has read something bad about me, that breaks my heart,\" Bruyneel said. \"I can look anyone in the eye; I've never put anyone's health at risk.\"\n\nBruyneel also expressed his belief that the details of the US Postal doping program would never have been uncovered had Armstrong not come out of retirement in 2009 and had RadioShack not offered Floyd Landis a contract in 2010. Landis' emails to USADA in April 2010 triggered federal and sporting investigations into the US Postal Service team, which ultimately led to Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life. \"If Armstrong had not come back and if I had included Landis in the squad again, all of this would never have happened,\" Bruyneel said. \"I am two hundred percent convinced of that.

I didn’t grieve their immaturity and imperfections. I marveled at their complexity and celebrated their vast potential. They had within them the possibility of great and wonderful accomplishments. While I knew they would make mistakes, I saw this not as a moral failing, but as a necessary process. What I expected from them was not perfection, but eventual maturity, the ability to live life with wisdom and sensitivity. What they needed from me was not a continual reminder of their frailties, but my praise when they did well and my encouragement when they failed. Eventually, I realized my opinion of my children was more praiseworthy than God’s opinion of me.\n\nThankfully, when it came to raising my children, I trusted my intuition and not my religious training. As a pastor, I worked hard to deconstruct this theology of human depravity. I adopted Judaism’s more nuanced interpretation of the events in the Garden of Eden. I saw Jesus as more of a teacher and less of a sacrificial lamb. I abandoned a belief in hell and damnation, imagining a God who was at least as good at parenting as I was. I borrowed the lessons of Buddhism, seeing the goal of life as gradual enlightenment rather than spiritual perfection. Yet, even with all these adjustments, I found myself frustrated. In the end, it may have been the music that drove me from religion.\n\nIn my last year of pastoring, I vowed to avoid songs that maligned humanity. I broke that vow after a couple of weeks. Even in my liberal Christian hymnal, God was consistently praised and humanity forever diminished. Grace was amazing, but humans were wretches. We were weak and God was strong. I found a few songs with a positive bent, but my congregation soon grew tired of singing them, requesting the familiar regardless of the message.\n\nWhen people ask me why I left Christianity, I tell them it wasn’t working for me any longer. I usually leave it at that. But, when I think carefully about what wasn’t working, one of the nails in the coffin was the music. I couldn’t sing those songs any longer. I didn’t believe them. I didn’t think them accurate or healthy. In a world where living can be a challenge, I saw no purpose to disparaging human effort. Every life was worthy. Everyone could use some praise.\n\nJim Mulholland spent twenty-five years as a pastor. He wrote several best-selling Christian books and spoke nationally.

Wittes correctly points out the absence of any \"rational relationship\" between the countries targeted by the ban and \"any expected counterterrorism goods.\" The 9/11 hijackers, after all, did not come from Somalia, Syria, or Iran; they came from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and a few other countries not affected by the order.\n\nHowever, there could be an explanation for why some countries are inside the ban and others are outside. It has nothing to do with counterterrorism. You should take a quick look at a graphic and accompanying documentation put together by Bloomberg News.

But Trump has business interests in Saudi Arabia, and a guy shouldn't have to give up his business interests just because he's going into \"public service,\" now should he?\n\nThis adds up to malfeasance of the highest order. Can we now stop the debate about whether Trump's business interests might influence his policymaking, and move on to the more important question, which is how do we protect ourselves from this despot and start the work of getting him removed from office?\n\nUpdate: Some commenters, fairly, suggested that there could be alternative explanations for the inclusion and exclusion, and that this does not, standing alone, constitute malfeasance.

It’s great to have the Tenth Doctor and Rose back again!\"\n\nDoctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures – Volume 2, scheduled for release in November 2017, features three thrilling hour-long full-cast audio adventures. The collection opens with Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney, where an alien invasion of Earth proves to be more complex than it appears, featuring guest appearances by Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler. In the second story, Sword of the Chevalier by Guy Adams, the Doctor and Rose travel to Slough in 1791 and encounter Chevalier D’Eon, an enigmatic ex-spy who lived as a woman. Together, they must defend against alien slavers who have come to Earth to abduct valuable humans. The final adventure, Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton, sees the TARDIS arrive on Coldstar, a vast frozen food asteroid in deep space. However, a sinister presence is defrosting within the storage units: the Doctor’s old enemies, the Ice Warriors. Nicholas Briggs voices Ice Lord Hasskor and Warrior Slaan in this installment.\n\nNicholas Briggs, known as the Voice of the Daleks on television and for Big Finish, shared his feelings about the project: \"It was such a special time for me, working with Billie and David on the TV show, and it is such an honour to revisit it with them on audio.\"\n\nDoctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures – Volume 2 is produced by David Richardson, with script editing by Matt Fitton and John Dorney, and direction by Nicholas Briggs. Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs serve as executive producers. David Richardson commented on the anticipation surrounding the release: \"We were thrilled by the response to the first volume. David Tennant and Catherine Tate were on fantastic form, and it’s so exciting to reunite David with Billie Piper, playing the Doctor and Rose together again after nine years. Their time in the series transformed Doctor Who into a prime-time and international hit, and we’ve worked very hard to live up to the incredible standards of Russell T Davies.\"\n\nDoctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures Volume 2 (Limited Edition) is available for pre-order on download and CD.

Both were captive, kept at separate institutions: one at Chester Zoo and one at London Zoo in the UK.\n\nAt the time, researchers speculated that the giant lizard was capable of switching between sexual and asexual reproduction, essentially finding ways to clone itself in extreme circumstances when no males are around.\n\nThen in recent years, scientists have also documented different snake species, including boas and pythons such as Thelma, giving birth in the absence of males.\n\nThe question is why would they bother?\n\nA life without males\n\nOne possible answer may lie with a wild counterpart, the whiptail lizard. In fact, there are numerous species of whiptail lizard, with many being specially conceived as a result of two species hybridising to form a third.\n\nThese unique hybrid species are all female; males have been completely cut out of the reproductive process. Each female produces asexually, creating new generations of females, and so on.\n\nCreating such an exclusive club has its evolutionary benefits; if any of these lizards were left stranded, they could continue to reproduce. Other whiptails that rely on males would see their lineage die out. This is a particular type of parthenogenesis that only occurs in the absence of males, and this may have been the trigger for these lizards. Female whiptails that become stranded on islands may have somehow switched their biology to reproduce alone.\n\nThelma the snake was thought to have had a virgin birth for similar reasons; without any males around she had no choice but to go it alone. And being well fed, and housed in a large enclosure at an optimal temperature, she had the optimal conditions to make the biological leap into solo parenthood, says Bill McMahon, a scientist who helped care for her.\n\nPerhaps the same was true of the sharks, komodo dragons and snakes?\n\nIt's amazing that we do all of this work on reproductive biology and we're still learning something new about the reproductive modes about the animals around us\n\nThere is a problem with that idea. Generally, asexual reproduction is thought to come with costs. Essentially it's the ultimate form of inbreeding – there is no way to create genetic diversity. So animals that clone themselves leave their lineages vulnerable to disease and other threats, which they lack the genetic variety to counter.\n\nFor that reason, after the virgin birth of the Komodo dragons, scientists recommended that the species, which is endangered, not be kept in isolation. They feared the genetic diversity of the species might diminish if it started cloning itself.\n\nBut in extremis, when there are no males to mate with, it makes some sense.\n\nWild virgins\n\nThen came another shock: wild vertebrates, as well as captive ones, are capable of virgin births.\n\nIn 2012, scientists discovered that another type of snake, the pit-viper, commonly has virgin births in the wild.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3237, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "412e233420ef3c7777370c64faa96e9fb57f701a", "raw_chars": 2029, "clean_chars": 2028, "edit_ratio": 0.8812, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has declared that struggling teams must become financially self-sufficient, insisting there will be no further financial aid for Lotus, Force India, and Sauber.

This six-meter-long (20-foot) reticulated python had spent four years alone at the Louisville Zoo in the United States, never having met a male of her species. Yet, somehow, she laid over 61 eggs, producing six healthy babies.\n\nPerhaps she had secretly mated with a male many years prior and stored his sperm all this time? Genetic tests soon revealed the answer. Thelma had become the first reticulated python in the world known to have had a real-life virgin birth.\n\nShe had produced eggs containing all the genetic information required to make a daughter, without the need for a father, his sperm, or his DNA. She achieved this by fusing her eggs with a by-product of her dividing cells called a polar body. This object played the same role as sperm would normally, triggering the egg to develop into an embryo. Each of her offspring contained two copies of half her chromosomes, making them half-clones of Thelma.\n\nThough special, we now know that Thelma and her daughters are far from unique. Scientists are discovering that virgin births occur in many different species, including amphibians, reptiles, cartilaginous and bony fish, and birds. It happens for reasons we do not quite understand.\n\nInitially, a virgin birth, also known as parthenogenesis, was thought to be triggered by extreme situations. It was only documented among captive animals, for example, perhaps due to stress or isolation—a way to continue the bloodline when all other options had gone and there was no other choice. Not necessarily. It now appears that some virgin females produce offspring even in the presence of males.\n\nWhat is more, they do so in the wild, and may have been doing it for hundreds of millions of years. It may carry advantages, even more so in a modern world where populations of many species are rapidly dwindling, but it raises fundamental questions about the importance of sex. And other uncertainties remain. Why, among vertebrates, can fish, reptiles, and birds have virgin births, but mammals, including humans, seemingly cannot? Even here, things are not straightforward.\n\nPerhaps the best understood virgin vertebrate is the common domesticated turkey. In the 1800s, reports started appearing of virgin births among chickens. Then researchers started studying similar events among turkeys, finding that these large fowl could lay unfertilized eggs that produced live young. The baby turkeys were always male, however, which was put down to a quirk of bird genetics in which male sex chromosomes are dominant. Soon, a parthenogenetic strain of the domestic turkey was developed in which most males appeared normal and reproduced successfully.\n\nThe turkeys were considered nothing more than a curiosity, an artificial creation kept in artificial conditions. But then, in the past 15 years, reports started coming in of a series of weird and wonderful virgin births occurring in captive fish, snakes, and lizards. It seems to be something a wide variety of sharks can do.\n\nOn December 14, 2001, for example, one of three captive adult female bonnethead sharks gave birth to a healthy female pup. Each of the prospective mothers had been caught as immature fish from the wild waters of the Florida Keys, United States. None had met a male shark, and all were virgins. Yet one of them had clearly given birth, reported a team led by Demian Chapman of Stony Brook University in New York state, United States.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3242, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2923944c1025df1e3b2cd783d26785d41117ac7f", "raw_chars": 3380, "clean_chars": 3322, "edit_ratio": 0.467, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Arthur’s leafblowing business has struggled without high-speed rural internet. Green Aperture, via Thinkstock\n\nGovernment-built infrastructure, we are often told, only ends up hampering free market competition. This argument is frequently used by opponents of public broadband to support state pre-emption laws that restrict cities and towns from building their own fiber networks.\n\nCritics of municipal broadband often claim that government entry brings unfair competition to the market, drives out private competition, and puts taxpayers at financial risk. They argue that the asymmetric subsidized entry of a municipal system is anticompetitive in nature. To advance these free-market priorities, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has recommended its \"Private Industry Safeguards Act\" to state lawmakers across the country since 2002. As a result, more than 20 states currently have prohibitions on municipal broadband on the books.\n\nAll this may sound ironic at a time when internet providers hold effective monopolies in many regions and rates rise faster than download speeds. However, to critics, publicly owned broadband could well be the thin end of the socialist wedge.\n\nThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) disagrees. Last year, in response to a petition from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Wilson, North Carolina, the FCC decided to pre-empt portions of those states' laws that restricted the build-out of those cities' broadband networks. With FCC protection, the cities would have been able to expand their super-fast fiber service into adjoining municipalities and rural areas.\n\nThe Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals summarized the FCC's argument that the rollout of fiber internet by Chattanooga's Electric Power Board (EPB) fostered competition. The court noted that in response to the EPB constructing its fiber network, Comcast stopped raising its rates, which had risen sharply for years, and subsequently reduced them. Both private providers in the EPB's electric service area, Comcast and AT&T, have vastly improved their Internet download speeds since the EPB's entry. This demonstrates the benefits of increased broadband competition and how a possible expansion for the EPB could promote such competition. An independent analysis estimated that Chattanooga's network had produced at least 2,800 jobs and $865 million in benefits for the city.\n\nThe states sued the FCC, and early last month, they won. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC had overstepped its bounds, finding that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 did not offer the commission clear authority to pre-empt state law.\n\nIt was a legal defeat for the FCC, but a limited one. While the court ruled against the FCC, it did not see any faults with their reasoning for acting. The decision stated, \"We do not question the public benefits that the FCC identifies in permitting municipalities to expand Gigabit Internet coverage.\"\n\nThis ruling is another notch for the consensus that municipal broadband introduces competition to an industry too often lacking it. \"If the private sector were solving this problem, cities wouldn't be doing this,\" says Deb Socia, the executive chairman of Next Century Cities, a coalition of cities that advocates for municipal broadband as a local option, among other issues.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3248, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9be5a230bbc4cfab250ae59ed249eb90e7bad59b", "raw_chars": 3499, "clean_chars": 3370, "edit_ratio": 0.3609, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Oyster is selling ebooks now. But is it targeting Amazon? by Alex Shephard\n\nSince launching in the fall of 2013, the ebook subscription app Oyster has set out to create a comprehensive e-reading environment. The company has grown significantly in its eighteen-month existence, launching with titles from HarperCollins and Melville House, among many other small presses, before quickly adding Macmillan and Simon & Schuster as partners. It has grown from offering over 100,000 titles to offering over half a million in that period. Last fall, the company added an editorial component—the consistently superb Oyster Review—and a social one, with lists curated by users and various literary superstars.\n\nYesterday, the company announced it would be opening an ebook store, featuring titles from existing clients and the two Big Five holdouts, Hachette and Penguin Random House. The ebook subscription—which earned the company the moniker 'The Netflix for Books'—remains the company’s core identity, but the store is a major development, especially because it’s open to non-subscribers. Melville House books are available for purchase because we are distributed by Penguin Random House.\n\nWhile the ebook store element of this story has gotten the most play in the media, I think the fact that Oyster is selling books is less important than whose books it’s selling. Scribd, Oyster’s main subscription competitor, already has a bookstore, but it doesn’t have a comprehensive one. In the domain of the digital subscription, only Oyster can claim to offer a comprehensive selection of books, even if those books aren’t necessarily available to its subscribers. Penguin Random House’s market share cannot be underestimated. Hachette is also powerful, and pretty much every potential user scanning Oyster’s wares will now see everything that they could ever want because Oyster will now offer titles from pretty much everyone. The Big Five dominate the publishing industry, and Oyster is the only subscription app that can boast all five.\n\nThis should give the company a boost with consumers. At the very least, it should make it sexier than Scribd, whose ebook store doesn’t feature books from Penguin Random House, America’s biggest publisher by a country mile, or Hachette, which is big, but not Penguin Random House big. Ironically, the best metaphor for Oyster at the moment may not be the 'Netflix for Books' but the 'Amazon Instant Video for books.' Unlike Netflix, Oyster is adopting a hybrid strategy where users can subscribe, buy, or both. Unlike Amazon, Oyster doesn’t have a 'rent' function, so maybe my metaphor isn’t as good as I thought.\n\nThis move strikes me as being about three things. First, Oyster’s creativity and ambition: the company has shown it has a hell of a lot of both and that it’s interested in making big splashes in interesting ways. Both Penguin Random House and Hachette have been pretty open about their disinterest in subscription. Penguin Random House, at least, is big enough to do whatever it pleases, and if big publishers are being open about something, you can only imagine how vociferous they are in private. Big publishers hate stating things publicly because they are extraordinarily risk-averse. But Oyster went ahead and got Hachette and Penguin Random House anyway, and they did it by working with them, rather than against them.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3255, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a7fd7ad74251044020f0f3bf33c39f95d22da204", "raw_chars": 3488, "clean_chars": 3069, "edit_ratio": 0.6004, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This sci-fi adventure game is designed exclusively for virtual reality.

During these events, I had about 100 conversations with people at the epicenter of the blockchain wave, including one of the approximately 35 individuals on the Bitcoin Core team responsible for the protocol's upkeep.\n\nIt will take a few weeks or months to fully process everything I learned, but a few important themes emerged. First, there was a unspoken sense that Bitcoin, or the concept of \"decentralization\" itself, is poised for significant growth. While the conferences were taking place, Bitcoin experienced a remarkable price surge. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for this rally was that people on the fringe of the Bitcoin community, inspired by the events either in person or online, felt more confident and decided to invest.\n\nRegardless of the cause, there was a prevailing sentiment at the events that the scaling debate had largely resolved itself. Many attendees seemed to think, \"If Bitcoin is going to reach $1,000,000 as Wences Casares suggests, I should get in now.\" As my friend Brandon Thomas put it, we have hit \"escape velocity.\"\n\nEthereum, meanwhile, also saw a price run-up during the events, and enthusiasm for the platform remains high. However, much of this excitement seems driven by the fact that many people are launching initial coin offerings (ICOs) on Ethereum in hopes of making quick money, and many of these projects may lack long-term potential. While Ethereum deserves credit for its bold vision, there are legitimate concerns about whether it can function securely and at scale. I had a long discussion with Dr. Muneeb Ali from Blockstack about this, which made me wonder if Ethereum will ultimately become the dominant application platform.\n\nAnother key observation was about who is investing. In this market where people are putting their Ethereum tokens into ICOs for decentralized startups, the funding sources are not your typical suited-up investors. While some venture capitalists are involved, this is truly a crowdsourced model. Unlike Kickstarter, where backers are merely entitled to a product, token holders become members of the network.\n\nWhat surprised me most was that, based on rough calculations, there are nearly 1,500 computer science students at top-tier North American schools like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Berkeley who are likely sitting on $30 to $40 million worth of cryptocurrency. About 75 percent of this capital is in Ether, compared to 25 percent in Bitcoin. These individuals, mostly male and aged 18 to 25, were too late to invest in Bitcoin but got in on the ground floor of Ethereum. There are probably another 1,000 people globally who fit this profile.\n\nThis represents a seismic shift in how we think about startup funding. It changes not only how startups raise money (through ICOs versus traditional funding) but also from whom they raise it (experienced angels or VCs versus college students in their dorms).

It is a bummer that there are so many questions left unanswered, but we have combed through all these books for all the most important details about this new look at the Star Wars galaxy.\n\nNaturally, there are going to be major spoilers for the entirety of Star Wars: The Force Awakens below.\n\nMuch of the information sourced for this article comes from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary, a guidebook released by DK to coincide with the film's release. Like several other tie-ins such as Alan Dean Foster's novelization or The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it gives some fascinating insight into the world behind the movie, and it is all straight from Lucasfilm's story group, ensuring that everything sits right in Disney's still fledgling reboot of the Star Wars canon.\n\nWho the Hell Is Lor San Tekka?\n\nMax Von Sydow's mysterious character Lor San Tekka is barely in the film; he is the old man who gives Poe Dameron the missing piece of the map to Luke Skywalker at the beginning of the film, and shortly thereafter he gets cut down by Kylo Ren in a fit of rage. Some of his dialogue (including some pointed remarks about Ren's heritage that act as teasers for the eventual reveal of his real name) hints that Tekka was meant to be a big mystery, perhaps a connection to Star Wars' past—many rumors pegged him as an elderly Boba Fett, or even a character from the prequels!—but the real answer is rather simple.\n\nSince the fall of the Empire, Lor San Tekka has been a galactic traveler who eventually worked with the New Republic (and later the Resistance) mapping the remote fringe of the galaxy, before retiring to Jakku. Additionally, Tekka is also a religious man. He and most of the villagers he lives with are followers of the \"Church of the Force,\" a faith that gathered people who were not sensitive to the Force, but worshippers of Jedi codes and practices. The church operated in secret during the time of the Empire, but apparently flourished after Palpatine's death.\n\nThroughout his mapping expeditions, Tekka became intimate with the history of the Jedi and Sith orders, making him a prominent figure in the Church and giving him a reputation as a source for galactic secrets the Empire had clamped down on for decades.\n\nThe Resistance Is Much Smaller Than You Think It Is...\n\nThe Rebel Alliance was always meant to be seen as a plucky upstart group striking out at the big evil force, but by the time of Return of the Jedi, they're massive: they've got capital ships, wings of fighter squadrons, the whole shebang. On the other hand, the Resistance is tiny.\n\nAlthough the novelization emphasized Leia's distaste for the New Republic, in The Visual Dictionary it's pretty much acknowledged that the Resistance is an independent, private force \"tolerated\" by the New Republic, but not officially condoned or supported, due to a fear of conflict with the First Order.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3282, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "45bf6efdccec23f3f2807ef7450f76cab2586e50", "raw_chars": 3385, "clean_chars": 3349, "edit_ratio": 0.1999, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To best view the content on this page, please rotate your device to the Landscape (horizontal) position.\n\nI was up on a mountaintop in North Carolina, sent to meet a man named Robert Warren to evaluate his soil so he could build a house.\n\nThe first time I felt pulled to the priesthood was in high school. I grew up in Tennessee, where there aren't many Catholics, let alone priests, sisters, or brothers. But I attended Knoxville Catholic High School and got invited to be on the retreat team. That kind of surprised me because I wasn't a particularly pious young man; in fact, I got into quite a bit of trouble in those days. Yet I found myself at this high school retreat listening to a priest give a talk on his life and vocation. For a brief moment, I remember thinking that being a priest seemed interesting.\n\nBut the thought didn't last because I had a beautiful girlfriend to distract me from thoughts of entering a college seminary program. I went on to attend the University of Tennessee and became moderately involved with the Newman Club. This was the 1980s, when people were reporting seeing the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. Some friends of mine went to Medjugorje and were moved by the whole experience. They kept pestering me about it and encouraging me to pray the rosary. Well, being a good ol' boy from Tennessee, I was more interested in fishing than praying the rosary all the time, but they kept after me, and I became involved in the Marian movement. I prayed the rosary, began attending Mass every day, and got involved in retreat ministry again.\n\nI found myself thinking once more about the priesthood. My one big worry was celibacy. I thought a lot about having a family and found that it was difficult to imagine a life without a wife and kids. I decided to talk to a priest about it. He pointed out that I was just about to graduate with a degree in agronomy. I should go out into the world and work as a soil scientist. If God were calling me, I would know it, this priest advised.\n\nFollowing his advice was the best thing I ever did, although you wouldn't know it at first. I ended up working as a soil scientist for the state of North Carolina. I loved the beauty of the mountains and the work I was doing, but I missed my friends in Tennessee and found it difficult to get involved in a church community. I had practically stopped praying. I still thought about being a priest, but it was on the back burner, way back there.\n\nOne day, while on the job, I had a life-changing experience. I was up on a mountaintop, sent to meet a man named Robert Warren to evaluate his soil so he could build a house. When I arrived, I saw him slumped over in his truck. I went over to him, and he told me he was having a spell. He grabbed my hand and said, \"Would you pray with me?\"\n\nI hadn't prayed in ages, but I took his hand and my heart just burst open in prayer as we said one Our Father after another. He asked me to pray for him and his family, and as we prayed, I felt the Holy Spirit in a powerful way. Robert Warren died in my arms of a massive heart attack, right there on that mountaintop.\n\nI continue to pray for him to this day, and I offer up my vocation to Robert Warren because he woke me up to something deep in my heart.

Its `encode` method takes a session dictionary, serializes it using the registered serializer, and converts it into a string. It then generates a cryptographic hash of this serialized data to serve as a signature for verifying integrity. Finally, it combines the hash and the serialized data, separating them with a colon, and returns the result as a Base64-encoded ASCII string.\n\nThe `decode` method reverses this process. It decodes the Base64 string back into bytes, splits the data at the colon to separate the hash from the serialized session, and verifies that the provided hash matches the expected hash of the serialized data. If the hashes do not match, it raises a `SuspiciousSession` exception, indicating that the session data has been corrupted. If the verification fails due to other exceptions like `ValueError` or unpickling errors, it logs a warning and returns an empty dictionary.\n\nBefore Django version 1.6, the framework defaulted to using `pickle` for serializing session data. However, due to security concerns, the default serialization method was changed to `django.contrib.sessions.serializers.JSONSerializer`.\n\nTo illustrate the session management process, consider a simple session dictionary containing a count and an integer. When the `encode` method is called with this dictionary, it produces a Base64-encoded string. Decoding this string reveals the original hash and the serialized JSON data, such as `{\"count\": 1}`. The `decode` method ensures the integrity of this data by verifying the hash before returning the session. This guarantees that the data remains unaltered when used in the application.\n\nIn this context, there is less concern about client-side tampering because the application does not use cookie-based sessions that send all user data to the client. Instead, a read-only `SessionStore` is implemented for Flask. This store checks for the existence of a given key and returns the stored data without allowing modifications.\n\nTo integrate this with Flask, a simplified version of the Redis session engine is created. This implementation uses the `SessionStore` as a base class but removes functionality related to signature verification and session modification.

Industrial agriculture in the United States involves billions of animals each year. The information we have seen suggests that these animals are often treated in ways that may cause extreme suffering over the course of their lives.\n\nWhat are possible interventions? Efforts to address the harms of industrial agriculture on animals typically focus on advocacy to individuals (to reduce their meat consumption), corporations (to reduce consumption or improve animal welfare conditions), or governments (to ban particular practices deemed especially harmful), though there are a number of other potential activities as well.\n\nWho else is working on it? Although the overall field of animal welfare receives a large amount of support from donors, relatively little funding appears to go to addressing the significant impacts of industrial agriculture on animal welfare.\n\nPublished: September 2013\n\nWhat is the problem?\n\nThere are over a billion animals in the United States being raised for food. Animal advocates report that the vast majority of them are raised on factory farms where they are treated in ways that may cause them extreme suffering. For example, of the 291 million egg-laying hens in the U.S., roughly 95% are raised in battery cages, which restrict motion and prevent hens from engaging in natural behaviors.\n\nWe have not yet vetted animal advocates' claims about the extent to which industrial agriculture practices inflict harm upon chickens and other farm animals and how much they suffer as a result. Vetting these claims would be one of our top priorities were we to investigate this area further.\n\nWhat are possible interventions?\n\nMost work to advance farm animal welfare falls under the general rubric of advocacy, whether targeting individuals, corporations, or governments. Farm animal advocacy interventions we have heard about include legislative advocacy, lobbying, or ballot initiative campaigns to encourage state governments to ban particularly harmful practices. Other interventions include advertising to individuals to encourage them to reduce their meat consumption, such as by becoming vegetarian or vegan. Maintaining farm animal sanctuaries that are open to the public can enable people to interact with farm animals with the intention of increasing empathy for them. Outreach to large institutions, such as school districts and hospitals, can encourage the adoption of \"Meatless Mondays\" to reduce overall meat consumption. Pressuring large food sellers, such as fast food or grocery chains, and corporate animal producers can improve animal welfare practices in their supply chains.

In addition to tail autotomy, casual reference has been made to mammalian species with weak or fragile skin, although whether these animals are capable of skin autotomy remains unknown. Thus, we first sought to investigate anecdotal evidence that two species of African spiny mouse (Acomys kempi and Acomys percivali) readily shed portions of their skin as a predator escape behaviour.\n\nTo test the hypothesis that A. kempi and A. percivali are capable of skin autotomy, we live-trapped individuals on rocky outcroppings (kopjes) in central Kenya. In addition to guard hairs, species in the genus Acomys are notable for the presence of spine-like hairs on the dorsum. Handling both species in the field confirmed that vigorous movement often led to tearing of the skin. Tearing resulted in large open wounds or skin loss ranging from small pieces to areas approximating 60% of the total dorsal surface area. In addition to integumentary loss, both species exhibited autotomy of the tail sheath as previously reported for other Acomys species, and individuals were often captured with missing tails. Among captive individuals, we observed severe skin wounds to heal quickly, and rapid regrowth of spiny hairs totally obscured the wounded area. Field-captured individuals showed similar healing, and in some cases, patterned hair follicles in anagen (growth phase) that seemed to have regenerated in wounded areas.\n\nThe study confirms that A. kempi and A. percivali exhibit skin autotomy and subsequent rapid healing. Both species possess stiff, spine-like hairs on the dorsum. Following the loss of dorsal skin, scab formation occurs after full-thickness skin injury.

Apple's Secure Enclave Processor (SEP) handles all cryptographic operations for the Apple Watch Series 2, the A7 processor that powers the iPhone 5s, the iPad Air, the iPad mini 2 and 3, and subsequent A-series chips. The encrypted SEP is completely isolated from the rest of the system and handles Touch ID transactions, password verifications, and other security processes on a separate OS to maintain data protection integrity even if the kernel has been compromised.\n\nOne of the ways the SEP does this is by generating a Unique ID (UID) for each device for authentication purposes. The UID automatically changes every time a device is rebooted and remains unknown to other parts of the system, further enhancing its security. Beyond that, little is known about how the SEP actually works outside of Apple, but that's by design—the enclave's isolation serves to obfuscate it from the rest of the system, preventing hackers from rifling through its code to make it as secure as possible.\n\nThe decryption key posted on GitHub yesterday would not enable hackers to access data stored inside the Secure Enclave, but it could allow hackers and security researchers to decrypt the firmware that controls it and potentially spot weaknesses in the code. Speaking to TechRepublic, the hacker that released the key claimed that Apple's effort to obfuscate the code was itself cause for concern. Xerub claimed it's theoretically possible that the decryption key could be used to watch the SEP do its work, which could potentially allow hackers to reverse-engineer its process and gain access to its contents, including passwords and fingerprint data. However, he admitted that a lot of additional work would need to go into exploiting the decrypted firmware.\n\nIt's still unclear what the longer term repercussions could be, but an Apple source who wished to remain anonymous told TechRepublic that the release of the SEP key doesn't directly compromise customer data.

I am more of a heavy metal fan, but when Tony handles the DJ duties during staff lifting sessions, I find myself getting pumped up by the sounds of 90s hip-hop or Dirty South Pandora stations.\n\nTony notes that Tribe Called Quest Radio is a great choice.\n\nWhen Ludacris poses the question, \"How low can you go?\" during a heavy squat workout, it prompts me to think about how to help clients safely improve their squat depth.\n\nTony is correct that not everyone should or needs to squat as low as possible. However, outside of our baseball players, I primarily work with powerlifters who need to squat below parallel to have their lifts count in competition. Therefore, we prioritize achieving depth in training.\n\nWhen combining deep squats with heavy loads, and knowing that not everyone can easily achieve depth—defined as the hip joint passing below the top of the knee joint—we must determine the best way to reach that position.\n\nYou could stretch, foam roll, and mobilize every joint from head to toe. Alternatively, you could simply learn how to squat.\n\nI prefer the second option. In my experience, nine times out of ten, a person's inability to squat to depth is not a mobility issue but rather a squat strategy issue. Selecting the right squat accessory exercises to reinforce an optimal squat pattern will almost always improve depth and strength. Here are three of my favorite squat exercises to help you squat deeper and lift heavier weights.\n\nSquatting: Upright vs. Hip Hinge\n\nFirst, consider this harsh reality: an upright squat is always the most mechanically efficient. If you point your nipples at the floor to use \"hip drive,\" you will never maximize the contribution of your legs and abs. There is a reason why every 1,000-pound squatter, whether raw or geared, stays almost perfectly vertical through their torso instead of leaning forward.\n\nWould you tell a lifter like Malanichev to lean forward with 1,036 pounds on his back? Probably not.\n\nHere is what often happens when people attempt to squat: they puff their chest up, creating thoracic extension, which pulls the ribcage upward. They take a big breath, but this is ineffective because you cannot generate good intra-abdominal pressure with a poor rib cage position. Then, they push their butt back as they squat down, resulting in lumbar extension, anterior pelvic tilt, and hip flexion simultaneously.\n\nLike a seesaw, as one side drops (the chest), the other side must rise to maintain balance (the hips). Consequently, you cannot achieve depth if your hips are shooting up and back to prevent you from falling forward.\n\nThis scenario also minimizes the space the head of the femur has to glide within the hip socket while limiting the contribution from your anterior core to keep your torso upright. The result is that your hips get stuck, forcing you to fall forward in an attempt to get lower. This is problematic if you want to squat low and heavy safely.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3337, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b38d706692e640200baadb2e2f4a1e76668f7bc7", "raw_chars": 1228, "clean_chars": 1424, "edit_ratio": 0.8115, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "CFO Jay Rasulo informed analysts that the company is disappointed with the film's performance and anticipates taking a charge of between $160 million and $190 million in the next quarter.

Despite this, CEO Bob Iger expressed that he has not lost faith in producing expensive tentpole films, acknowledging that \"there has been a lot said about the risk\" and noting that the company can attest to those concerns given the outcome of The Lone Ranger. Iger stated that overall, Disney had an excellent summer, particularly with Iron Man 3, which is expected to become Marvel's top-performing film after The Avengers.

Critics are currently debating whether the movie's portrayal of racial tensions and violence at the dawn of the Civil Rights era rings true. As one commentator asked, is The Help little more than a \"Disneyfied version of the Jim Crow South\"?\n\nDespite its noble intentions, The Help suffers from an often unavoidable byproduct of Hollywood-ization, says Glenn Kenny at MSN. He argues that the film patronizes its audience, serving up \"one entertaining diversion or other whenever its story line threatens to turn a corner into the valley of The Real.\" While the movie tries to \"confront the ugly truth of our nation's history with both a clear eye and some genuine compassion,\" and succeeds on occasion—such as when civil rights activist Medgar Evans is killed—it too often gets mired in soapy subplots.\n\nWesley Morris in the Boston Globe notes that The Help has trouble getting real, glossing over the violence of the time. He suggests the film would have us \"believe that the racism of the time was the stuff of bridge clubs.\" While we meet a number of bigoted white women, their husbands are typically absent, leaving viewers to wonder what these men are up to off-screen with the stink of white supremacy in the air. Curiously, the most violent man in the film is an abusive black husband.\n\nPeter Debruge in Variety argues that The Help is well done but tailored to white people. He describes it as \"a stirring black-empowerment tale aimed squarely at white [audiences]\" that \"personalizes the civil rights movement\" and serves as a \"deeply affecting exercise in empathy\" for those who have never really pondered the black experience during that period. Although it \"somewhat patronizingly seeks to understand\" the black community and leaves out key details from the book, its optimistic ending cannot be contested given the progress the country has made since that time.\n\nViola Davis saves the film, according to Manohla Dargis in The New York Times. Despite the film being \"at times bizarrely buoyant\" given the subject matter, Davis, as the quiet maid Aibileen, injects it with a \"gravity it frequently seems to want to shrug off.\" Davis makes Aibileen more dimensional than the book's depiction and keeps the film focused on the black maids' struggles. However, the novel's central conceit—that the white characters, with their troubled relationships and unloved children, carry burdens equal to those of the black characters—ultimately remains problematic.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3335, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "0c4f5776e6ed6c35f4f62542024fcb69e99071a5", "raw_chars": 3400, "clean_chars": 3320, "edit_ratio": 0.261, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "For the encouragement of the acquisition of goods and services in ever-increasing amounts, see consumerism.\n\nConsumerist, previously known simply as The Consumerist, was a non-profit consumer affairs website owned by Consumer Media LLC, a subsidiary of Consumer Reports. The site featured content created by a team of full-time reporters and editors, focusing on consumerism and the experiences and issues U.S. consumers faced with companies and corporations. As an early proponent of crowdsourced journalism, the site incorporated reader-submitted tips and complaints, though the majority of its articles consisted of original content and reporting by its staff. On October 30, 2017, Consumer Reports shut down Consumerist, stating that coverage of consumer issues would now be found on the main Consumer Reports website.\n\nGawker Media established the site in December 2005, with Joel Johnson serving as editor. Johnson had previously edited Gizmodo for Gawker. The concept for Consumerist originated with Gawker Media owner Nick Denton and managing editor Lockhart Steele. According to Johnson, they wanted a shopping blog that was not a typical shopping blog, aiming to address the issues that consumers found most frustrating on a daily basis. The idea was inspired by a similar Hungarian blog called Tékozló Homár, which translates to \"Wasteful Lobster\" in Hungarian. Tékozló Homár was initiated by Nick Denton's Hungarian friend, László Szily, and is part of the Hungarian leading portal Index.\n\nWhen creating Consumerist, Denton established its slogan and initial focus on readers' complaints, describing it as \"consumer-oriented news nuggets, funny pictures and shopping tips — all with the same snarky tone that characterizes Gawker properties like Wonkette and Defamer.\" Gawker hired Ben Popken to take over as site lead in February 2006. Johnson left Gawker in July 2006, citing a disagreement about his role within the company.\n\nGawker put the site up for sale in November 2008, simultaneously announcing the closure of another blog, Valleywag. Consumerist was purchased by Consumers Union, the publishers of Consumer Reports, in December 2008. The site's two editors, site lead Ben Popken and senior editor Meghann Marco, were retained through the sale. Following the acquisition, Marco and Popken shared the title of Co-Executive Editor, and contributors Chris Walters and Carey Greenberg-Berger, who had been laid off by Gawker, were reinstated.\n\nDue to potential conflict of interest concerns, Consumerist did not run display ads for outside advertisers. While owned by Gawker, all display ads linked to other Gawker sites, although the site sold text ads through the Google AdWords program. As such, the site was considered a loss leader, whose primary business role was to help drive traffic to other revenue-producing Gawker sites. As an ad-free publication, Consumerist had some freedom to take on major national advertisers such as Comcast.\n\nConsumer Reports laid off Managing Editor Ben Popken in November 2011. The departure was announced in a final blog post by Popken on Consumerist. Other editors have since joined the site, including Deputy Editor Chris Morran, Senior Editor Mary Beth Quirk, Assistant Editor Laura Northrup, Content Editor Kate Cox, and Special Projects Editor Ashlee Kieler.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3354, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "6574896024a9fff4c7dddce2f1502026fc56958e", "raw_chars": 895, "clean_chars": 1016, "edit_ratio": 0.5249, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The standards were finalized in June, and each state must now decide whether to adopt them.

These include biophysical investigation of lipid membranes, quantitative proteomics, imaging at close to the level of individual molecules, and the use of genetic mutants and shRNAs to test the roles of individual components. The plasmalemma of the brain endothelium has a particularly tight packing of phospholipids and cholesterol (Seelig, 2007), which permits the flux of small gaseous molecules like oxygen and CO2, but restricts the permeation of certain hydrophobic molecules, including many drugs. It also regulates access to particular membrane proteins such as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporters, P-glycoprotein (Pgp) (Aänismaa et al., 2008), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).\n\nThe tight junctions involve interactions of cytoskeletal molecular complexes, including the zonula occludens (ZO) proteins, coupled to transmembrane cleft-spanning proteins like occludin and claudins 3 and 5, as well as junction-associated molecules (JAMs) (Paolinelli et al., 2011). The rapid turnover of many of the junctional proteins means that they show considerable dynamic activity (Shen et al., 2008), while maintaining overall junctional integrity and selectivity. Many modulators from both the blood and the brain sides can cause junctional opening (Abbott et al., 2006), perhaps to facilitate repair and removal of debris. However, in healthy conditions, this is local and transient and does not significantly disturb the homeostatic function of the barrier.\n\nThe inventory of identified blood-brain barrier (BBB) solute carriers (SLCs) with relatively tight substrate specificities continues to grow (Abbott et al., 2009; Neuwelt et al., 2011; Parkinson et al., 2011; Redzic, 2011). These carriers mediate the entry of major nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, nucleosides, monocarboxylates, and organic anions and cations, as well as the efflux from the brain of some metabolites. Among the group of ABC transporters, Pgp (ABCB1) and/or BCRP (ABCG2) are the dominant players on the apical (blood-facing) membrane, with Pgp being especially prominent in rodents and BCRP in primates. However, the expression levels, localization, and roles of the multidrug-resistant associated proteins (MRPs, ABCC group) are less clear (Shawahna et al., 2011). These transporters have broader substrate specificity than the SLCs, making analysis of their structure-activity relationship (SAR) difficult (Demel et al., 2009).\n\nSynergistic activity between Pgp and BCRP has been observed (Kodaira et al., 2010), and ABC transporters and cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes together generate an active metabolic barrier within the neurovascular unit (NVU) (Decleves et al., 2011). The array of transporters includes considerable overlap in function and apparent redundancy, possibly reflecting their evolutionary history and ensuring backup provision in case of loss or defect of a single transporter.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3362, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "41f27136881d04684964e1bccaefc9fbddaf8e47", "raw_chars": 1651, "clean_chars": 1691, "edit_ratio": 0.0533, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is rare for an organization to give up on a first-round quarterback before he has made 16 NFL starts.

In his claim, the worker initially stated that he had killed 70 dogs, but the company later corrected that number to 100. According to WorkSafe BC documents, the dogs were killed due to a slow winter season following the Winter Olympics.\n\nWhistler RCMP Staff Sergeant Steve LeClair confirmed that police are investigating the allegations and noted that criminal charges are possible, including cruelty to animals and injuring or endangering animals. Outdoor Adventures Whistler stated that the cull was conducted by the manager of its subsidiary company, Howling Dog Tours. In a release, the company said, \"It was our expectation that it was done in a proper, legal and humane manner. We only learned otherwise on Friday, January 28 when we read the WCB ruling for the first time.\" The company added that it is investigating the mass killing and that the employee no longer manages the dog business. \"This employee continues to get our support as he heals from his injuries and illness,\" the company said. Outdoor Adventures Whistler has held a financial stake in Howling Dog for four years and took over complete control of the company in May 2010.\n\nGruesome details contained in the claim reveal the severity of the incident. In WorkSafe BC documents, the worker described chasing a dog that survived a shot to the face. \"Although she had the left side of her cheek blown off and her eye hanging out, he was unable to catch her,\" the claim stated. Another dog, apparently dead, was dumped into the grave. \"'Nora,' who he had shot approximately 20 minutes before, was crawling around in the mass grave he had dug for the animals. He had to climb down into the grave amidst the 10 or so bodies already there and put her out of her misery.\"\n\nAccording to the claim, the dogs panicked as they watched their compatriots being killed and attacked the worker as he finished his job. At one point during the slaughter, he ran out of ammunition and had to kill an aggressive dog with a knife. \"By that point he wanted nothing more than to stop the 'nightmare' but he continued because he had been given a job to finish,\" the documents noted. \"He stated that he felt 'numb.'\"\n\nThe worker told WorkSafe BC that he had worked for the company for years, lived on a farm with the dogs, and had developed a strong emotional bond of mutual love and trust with them. He said that he consulted a veterinarian after being told to get rid of 100 animals, but the vet refused to euthanize healthy dogs.

I was in school with Eric Wilson at Rodgers Junior High, and we had a science class together. Later, we both got kicked out and went to Jefferson Junior High together. But I was good friends with Eric and witnessed his first band, this punk band that he had. I think it was a band called Contraband. They opened up for Social Distortion in LA a couple of times, and they were a pretty good punk-rock band. Later on, he started jamming with Brad, who I met later. They had a band and they would jam. I think it was the beginning of them starting to play some covers and some ska stuff, but they were mostly punk-rock. That’s how I met Brad, and later on, Miguel came into the picture, and that was the beginning of Skunk Records, basically.\n\nThe Pier: Okay.

He is a smart, crafty player, but he lacks the skating speed to be as effective as he could be. Players drafted later have had better starts to their careers, and it appears the Sabres will move on from their second-overall draft pick.\n\nNo other player drafted by the Sabres has even played for Buffalo. Brendan Lemieux received a lot of hype and was a trade piece for the Sabres. He finally touched NHL ice this season for the Winnipeg Jets. He could develop into a solid NHLer.\n\nPlayers the Sabres missed out on:\n\nLeon Draisaitl (third overall, a tough miss)\n\nWilliam Nylander (eighth overall)\n\nDylan Larkin (15th overall)\n\nDavid Pastrnak (25th overall)\n\nBrayden Point (79th overall)\n\nViktor Arvidsson (112th overall)\n\nBiggest takeaway: In hindsight, Leon Draisaitl is a much more explosive hockey player than Sam Reinhart. Sam will forever be compared to Leon, and Sabres fans will always feel they missed out on an NHL stud.\n\n2015\n\nTank! The next one... and nope.\n\nThe Sabres lost the draft lottery once again. Of course, we all said that Jack Eichel was not a consolation prize. Yet, he will never be Connor McDavid. Connor is an all-time great. Eichel could be the next Mike Modano or Jonathan Toews, but we are still waiting for him to take over games the way Connor does. Maybe Jack needs better teammates. That may be true; we are waiting on a true left winger that can play the way Jack does. Too many times he sets guys up and they don't finish. His point total should be greater than it is. But, McDavid took a failing Oilers franchise and made it relevant once again. Keep grinding, Jack. Until we get a better roster, we cannot fairly judge you or criticize you.\n\nBrendan Guhle may be the guy we are hoping on. It is smart of Sabres GM Jason Botterill not to rush him. He is still so young and the roster is not to the point where we need him to take the next step right away. Allow him to learn what it takes to be a professional.\n\nWill Borgen could be a real solid NHLer too. He is killing it in the NCAA at St. Cloud State. He looked the part on the 2016-2017 USA World Junior Team. Only a 20-year-old junior at St. Cloud State, perhaps he will turn into that steadying presence on the blue line the Sabres so desperately need. Maybe he will leave school early to join the professional ranks after this year? Perhaps it is the realist in me that wonders whether he will sign with the Sabres. I sure hope he does.\n\nCannot yet evaluate the rest of the crop given the age of the prospects and how soon it is after the draft.\n\nBiggest takeaway: Sabres fans, we got a stud. Jack Eichel has 131 points in 164 games. Imagine if he had a better roster with true finishers. He is here for the long haul. Allow him to have his growing pains without calling for his head on a silver platter. He is the franchise. The plays he makes are far beyond much of the current Sabres roster.\n\n2016\n\nThe year of Nylander, Asplund, and Pu.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3382, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "162f84e5805fbe05c9b58d891067c6a65f317a93", "raw_chars": 3238, "clean_chars": 3234, "edit_ratio": 0.0012, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Jezebel writer Lindy West reading out the hideous comments she received after she spoke about rape jokes. Photo: Jezebel.com\n\nIt’s not that I’m not used to hearing jokes about rape thrown about like confetti at a wedding. Hell, it’s not like they haven’t been thrown at me. As Jezebel.com writer Lindy West so brutally demonstrated earlier this week, when you’re a woman who uses the internet to write about feminism and gendered violence, rape threats—sorry, jokes—go with the territory.\n\nWest had appeared on FX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell with comedian Jim Norton to discuss that industry’s tendency to excuse and celebrate rape ‘humour’ as edgy and dangerous, and what effect this ultimately has. As she wrote afterwards:\n\nI don't believe that previously non-raping audience members are going to take to the streets in a rape mob after hearing one rape joke. That's an absurd and insulting mischaracterization. But I do believe that comedy's current permissiveness around cavalier, cruel, victim-targeting rape jokes contributes to (that's 'contributes' not causes) a culture of young men who don't understand what it means to take this stuff seriously.\n\nUnfortunately, many viewers disagreed. And they wasted no time in employing the typical methods used by that portion of men aggrieved by a woman encroaching on their sacrosanct freedoms to behave as they want, when they want.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAnd how did they try and prove me wrong? How did they try to demonstrate that comedy, in general, doesn't have issues with women? By threatening to rape and kill me, telling me I'm just bitter because I'm too fat to get raped, and suggesting that the debate would have been better if it had just been Jim raping me.\n\nYou can watch the video of West reading some of the comments here. They include the charming, “Noone [sic] would want to rape that fat, disgusting mess’, ‘Jaba has nothing to worrie [sic] about, not even a prison escapee would rape her’, ‘That big bitch is bitter that no one wants to rape her’ and, somewhat ironically considering West’s apparent unrapeability, ‘There is a group of rapists with over 9000 penises coming for this fat bitch.’\n\nIn the past, West has been clear about the fact she doesn’t believe rape is an off limits topic for comedy and I agree with her. The presence of rape in a joke is not in and of itself an offensive act. But as Molly Ivins asserts, jokes that position victims as the punchline aren’t just lazy, they’re vulgar. So while it’s possible to craft good comedy out of the blackest of topics (yes, including rape) it requires a level of skill and/or experience found in only the most clever practitioners.\n\nUnfortunately, that’s not quite reflected in the sheer number of below average comedians out there who confuse laziness with edginess, or who think mentioning Louis CK is a universal hall pass. Controversial topics are seen as clever by proxy, despite the pedestrian attempts to broach them and the staggering regularity with which they occur. In fact, the idea that rape is a dangerous territory into which only the most courageous of comics are prepared to wade is perhaps the only thing funny about this.

As Premier Kathleen Wynne has herself conceded, Ontarians are now having to choose between paying their electricity bills and buying food or paying rent.\n\nWynne's polling numbers suggest that most Ontarians know where to place the blame. She holds a pitiful 15 percent approval rating, with 58 percent of the electorate believing she should resign.\n\nHowever, Wynne alone should not bear the burden for the fact that hydro bills for the average consumer have skyrocketed over recent years. It was former Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Liberal team from 2003 to 2012—including his former principal secretary and policy guru, Gerald Butts—who set Ontario on this financially bleak, dead-end road. Now, Butts is headed down the same path, leading not a provincial premier but the prime minister.\n\nButts was described by the Toronto Star as \"the man they call 'the brains behind the operation'\" and the \"policy architect of the Liberal government since 2003.\" Butts departed from McGuinty's government in 2008, but not before he and the Ontario Liberal team set the stage for the ill-fated Green Energy Act. This involved signing onto dubious wind power projects and implementing its cripplingly inefficient Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP).\n\nFor those thinking Butts cannot be held responsible for Ontario's current and future hydro plights, many past articles give—and Butts himself takes—credit for initially enacting and seeing through those energy policies. As the Toronto Star reported in 2012, on his biography page at the WWF website, Butts cited how he was \"intimately\" involved with the McGuinty government's environmental initiatives. Another Canadian Press article made it clear that Ontario's energy policy was Butts' design: \"McGuinty's plan, which called for replacing coal with a combination of conservation, renewable energy, natural gas and nuclear power, came from his senior adviser, Gerald Butts.\"\n\nButts has graduated to the halls of Parliament Hill as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's own principal secretary, leaving behind a province still paying the price, literally, for his tenure. His promise to eliminate coal, for example—a worthy gambit if done fiscally responsibly—cost Ontario consumers an extra $37 billion between 2006 and 2014, according to an auditor general, and is expected to cost another $133 billion from 2015 to 2032.\n\nNow he is doubling down, via the prime minister, on his green energy gambit by promising to enact carbon pricing regimes, effectively a tax, on all provinces by 2018 and phasing out coal by 2030, even as the United States, our neighbor and biggest competitor, moves in the opposite direction.

The EU executive said reduced VAT rates did not apply to ebooks as they were an electronically provided service and were not in the list of goods and services granted this privilege.\n\nThe vast majority of the EU’s 28 countries levy VAT rates ranging from 18 to 25 percent, according to Commission data. VAT on paper books, in contrast, ranges from 0 to 10 percent, with the exception of three member states.\n\nJudges at the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) rejected France and Luxembourg’s argument that ebooks should be considered a good rather than a service. “The court finds that the VAT Directive excludes any possibility of a reduced VAT rate being applied to ‘electronically supplied services’,” they said. “The court holds that the supply of electronic books is such a service,” the ECJ ruled.\n\nAmazon, which dominates the ebooks market, has said that lower priced ebooks sell more and ultimately generate more revenue and more royalties for authors. According to data provider Statista, ebook sales in Europe are expected to account for just over a fifth of book sales in Europe in 2017, compared with 4.5 percent in 2013.\n\nThe Commission is now reviewing the VAT rules as part of a revamp of the current transitional VAT system to switch over to a definitive VAT regime, a spokesman said before the court ruling. French publishers and booksellers said the policy of having higher VAT rates for ebooks than for printed ones ran counter to the goal of encouraging e-reading and urged the Commission to change the VAT rules. “We call on the European Commission to quickly take the initiative to amend the law to reflect technological progress and eliminate a serious obstacle to the development of the ebook market,” they said in a statement.\n\nThe case is C-479/13 Commission v France and C-502/13 Commission v Luxembourg.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3405, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "994bf1bbe39401fdc578bcfb1e5abe7b26cc90c3", "raw_chars": 1069, "clean_chars": 1070, "edit_ratio": 0.0014, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "But data-driven tools are just one way in which technology is changing the industry.

That will help create architectural business value. Yes, there is more that the architects do. Encourage Communities of Practice for the functional areas. Encourage cross-pollination between the communities. The “plain” developers need to know what the architects are thinking, as do the testers. The developers need to know what problems the testers are solving, and so on. Organizing and facilitating CoP might be a management job. It might be a program management job. It's a servant leadership role. It's definitely not a command-and-control role. The word here is “encourage,” not mandate. As a program manager, you need to be aware when people need more training in understanding deliverables or what those deliverables are. Do they understand flow? Do they understand agile? Do they understand feedback? Do the teams need coaches? Do the teams need help in project management (yes, the teams are doing project management)? Do the teams need help in agile or lean? Do the teams need help in the interpersonal skills? Do the teams need help in the engineering practices that will help them deliver a clean feature every day or so into the code base?\n\nThose are just your deliverables to the program. That's nothing about what you deliver to your management team.\n\nKeep these three words in your pocket for your teams: autonomy, collaboration, and exploration. The teams need to be autonomous. It's their deliverables that you care about. Not the teams being in lock-step.\n\nYou care about the teams collaborating. How do you encourage that? With small features and product owners who have well-defined feature backlogs and roadmaps.

Fryer Jr., the author of the study and a professor of economics at Harvard. The study examined more than 1,000 shootings in 10 major police departments in Texas, Florida, and California. The result contradicts the mental image of police shootings that many Americans hold in the wake of the killings (some captured on video) of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Laquan McDonald in Chicago; Tamir Rice in Cleveland; Walter Scott in South Carolina; Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati; Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Philando Castile in Minnesota.\n\nThe study did show a racial disparity in non-lethal use of force, such as searches and handcuffing. But those are not the events that drive Black Lives Matter riots and protests. If Michael Brown had been patted down and handcuffed, rather than shot dead, the Black Lives Matter movement would not have launched as it did.\n\nBlack Lives Matter is a social movement launched by the left, which uses allegedly racist police killings as the excuse and justification for a pre-existing anti-capitalist narrative.

The response was as heartwarming as her story.\n\nDiagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer at four months of age, Olivia battled through nine rounds of chemotherapy and 50 radiation treatments in an effort to save her eyes. At age two, she lost her right eye, leaving her legally blind with a left eye that provides her with only peripheral vision due to scar tissue from her cancer battle.\n\nA lifelong Flames fan who has long had to sit a few feet away from the TV just to see the shapes of her favorite players, the polite Grade 5 student from Captain John Palliser School was given two life-altering opportunities on the weekend. The first was a new pair of specialized electronic glasses from a company called eSight that uses real-time video technology to enable the legally blind to see and independently carry out all activities of daily living. The second was a chance to use them to actually see her favorite team for the very first time.\n\nWith the assistance of the Calgary Flames Foundation, which raises $4 million annually to support several causes including health and wellness, she celebrated her second day with lighter, more advanced glasses in style.\n\n\"That was so cool,\" she beamed when asked about the stirring response from the 18,000 people in attendance. \"I was a little nervous, but then when I got out there I was excited and happy. It was probably even better than I expected. I sang along to the Canadian anthem but I did not know the American one. I only know, 'Oh, say! Can you see?'\"\n\nWell, she can now. \"I was able to see the shots and the players' numbers and it was fast,\" said Olivia, so thankful for the gift of sight so many take for granted. \"It's super important because everyone else tells me what they see and sometimes I wish I could see it. These help a lot.\"\n\nIt was an emotional day for her family too. \"She has been to a game before but she couldn't see it – she was just there for the cheering and the malts,\" smiled her mother, Meredith. \"I'd say, 'The wave is coming,' and she'd stand up. And she'd hear the boards if there was a big hit and she'd cheer, but she couldn't see anything.\"\n\nGiven lower bowl seats by the club for her family of six, Olivia and her siblings got a chance to meet Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, and Mark Giordano in the dressing room following the team's 5-2 win over the New York Islanders. \"It smells like sweat,\" she chuckled, as the players so graciously fawned over her and her siblings. \"This is the opportunity of a lifetime – we can't thank the Flames enough,\" added her mother. \"She'll never forget this day, ever. She's had goosebumps all day and so have I. It's so exciting. The standing ovation from the crowd… Amazing.\"\n\nAlmost as stirring as the day Olivia got her first pair of eSight glasses a few summers earlier. \"She went into the backyard and looked around and she got teary and said, 'Everything is so beautiful,'\" recalled her mother. \"I could see every little detail in the leaves, and I could read signs – it was so cool,\" jumped in Olivia, sporting a Gaudreau jersey and gold boots.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3459, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ffe7c155820daeb349775eb8f90f61330c885422", "raw_chars": 1130, "clean_chars": 1204, "edit_ratio": 0.1174, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I decided I wanted to make something a little more elegant for Halloween this year, as well as for future parties and Burning Man events.

The timing of the tweet alert was curious, as the weekend was nearly over. One Twitter user remarked, \"[T]his is like when you start to do your homework when you hear the garage door opening.\"\n\nAs it turned out, the announcement was not entirely accurate. According to pool reports, the president spent Saturday visiting the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, just outside Washington. Trump arrived at the golf club at 11:01 a.m. wearing a suit, a white shirt with no tie, and a red hat with \"USA\" emblazoned on the front. Although the traveling press pool asked multiple times about the president's activities, Trump's team did not provide answers. The press pool was told that Trump had \"meetings\" at the golf club. The presidential motorcade returned to the White House shortly after 4 p.m., by which time pictures had emerged on social media of Trump riding a golf cart and dressed in golf attire, still wearing his red hat, at the Trump National Golf Club. The Instagram user who posted three of those pictures later appeared to make his account private.\n\nAround 9 p.m. on Saturday, Trump visited the Trump International Hotel in Washington for dinner, though reporters were not told with whom he would be dining. Photographs later emerged showing Trump with his son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump at a hotel restaurant. On Sunday morning, Trump returned to the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, arriving at 11:04 a.m. A half-hour later, reporters were informed that the president was \"wrapping up last of three meetings shortly.\" The motorcade arrived back at the White House at 12:36 p.m. An Instagram post from another user showed Trump appearing to watch the Golf Channel with two unidentified people on Sunday.\n\nTrump's official schedule, as released by the White House before the weekend, simply stated that the president had \"no public events scheduled\" on Saturday and listed \"in-town travel pool call time\" for both Saturday and Sunday. There have been no official announcements about who was included in the three meetings mentioned on Sunday. Neither the White House nor a Fox News spokeswoman responded to requests for comment on Monday morning.\n\nOn social media, responses to Fox's urgent-sounding news alert were relentless. The tweet was roundly mocked online for its timing and for the fact that it was not true. Users posted comments such as \"don't applaud a fish for swimming\" and \"BREAKING NEWS.

At this point, in addition to Azoff, the board included Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt; Johan Eliasch, chairman of the Head Group, a sports-equipment-and-clothing manufacturer; Evelyn de Rothschild of the famous banking family; Jerry Perenchio, the billionaire Hollywood mogul; Andy Lack, the longtime media executive; and Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments, a Chicago-based private-equity firm with close ties to President Obama. Forstmann had viewed the board members, who served mostly in an advisory capacity because IMG was not a public company, as friends and collaborators, but he did not want pushback from them. Neither did MacDougall.\n\nAt no time was this more evident than during the summer of 2012, after MacDougall started the process of selling IMG, some eight months after Forstmann's death. At a meeting that summer, the board unanimously approved the appointment of a four-member subcommittee to work with management on the sales process. At the next board meeting in the fall of 2012, Rothschild and Eliasch asked MacDougall what role he intended the full board of directors to play in the sale. According to a board member present, MacDougall made it clear that the full board would not be consulted about the sale.\n\nBoth Rothschild and Eliasch believed this was a usurpation of the board's fiduciary duties to the non-Forstmann shareholders, but by March 2013 they had been removed from the board at MacDougall's behest. Board members were \"appalled at MacDougall's behavior,\" according to Azoff and others. Azoff thinks MacDougall was out of control. \"He got flush with power,\" he says.\n\nThrough the fall of 2013, a large group of preliminary bidders was narrowed to three: WME, working with Silver Lake; CVC, the European buyout firm, working with Peter Chernin, the former News Corporation executive who had founded his own investment firm; and the Carlyle Group, the powerful Washington private-equity firm, working with ICM.

Barbara McDonald, a commissioner and professor of law at the University of Sydney, told The Australian Financial Review that mobile phones could already be used as surveillance devices to record private conversations or activities without consent. She noted that the concept of ubiquitous wearable items carrying out unauthorized surveillance was already established. McDonald described the proposal as an attempt to underpin the right to feel free to speak without someone keeping a record of it without one's knowledge.\n\nAlthough Google Glass was still theoretically in prototype, it had already faced criticism from privacy commissioners since its announcement due to the potential to invade privacy. A US woman was found not guilty of negligence while wearing a Glass prototype while driving in January, but a stream of stories about the discomfort some people felt with Glass wearers in public had haunted the device's prospects for commercial success. Google Glass's marketing director, Ed Sanders, told the Financial Review Sunday that social acceptance of the device would come with time. He compared the situation to the social fabric that developed around mobile phone usage, noting that disruptive technologies often provoke debate. Sanders emphasized that they did not want to force a consumer product on people without understanding their concerns and exploring ways to mitigate those worries from a user's perspective.\n\nFederal privacy commissioner Timothy Pilgrim had requested a briefing from Google on the technology last year. McDonald remarked that Google Glass would be wonderful devices with many uses, and a high percentage of those uses might be perfectly legitimate. However, she cautioned that this did not mean they would not sometimes cross the line. She suggested that the concept of devices might need to be abandoned, as people could track others not just through devices but through software and data mining networks, noting that there are different ways of keeping people under surveillance.\n\nThe proposal for consistent surveillance laws, if adopted as written, would extend to law enforcement and national security agencies in cases where surveillance is conducted without a warrant. It would also ensure that workplaces are prevented from monitoring staff without their knowledge, except in cases of fraud or criminal investigation. The discussion paper also proposed introducing a defense for online giants like Facebook and Google, protecting them from lawsuits in instances where their websites have been used to contravene someone's privacy.

A total of 554 candidates, standing in 507 wards across 86 councils, contested the local council elections under the TUSC banner. Additionally, TUSC fielded candidates in the directly elected mayoral contests in Lewisham, Newham, and Tower Hamlets, as well as in five by-elections held in three councils that did not have scheduled elections that year. In total, these candidates received 68,152 votes.\n\nScheduled elections took place in 161 local authorities in England, filling 4,216 seats in approximately 3,000 wards. The TUSC challenge, contesting 12% of the seats and 17% of the wards, was greater than anything attempted in the four-year history of the coalition. In 2011, the first local elections seriously contested by TUSC, the party fielded a candidate in 2% of the seats. In 2012, that figure rose to 4%, and in 2013, when county councils were primarily up for election, TUSC had a candidate in 5% of the seats, totaling 120 candidates. This year's effort was on a significantly different scale.\n\nIt was also on a different scale compared to any historical left-of-Labour comparator. For example, the highest number of candidates ever stood by the Socialist Alliance was in 2002, during the same four-yearly local election cycle that included the London boroughs. The Socialist Alliance stood 204 candidates in those elections, covering 187 wards. This represented the biggest left-of-Labour electoral challenge since the immediate aftermath of World War II.\n\nAnother significant feature of the election was the breadth of the candidates who came forward to stand. There were 53 candidates who were members of the RMT transport workers' union, one of the constituent organizations of TUSC. Additionally, there were 19 Communication Workers' Union members, 18 members of the National Union of Teachers, 16 PCS members, and 20 members of the University and College Union. From the larger Labour-affiliated unions, there were 74 Unison members and 130 members of Unite standing for TUSC.\n\nThere was also political breadth, centered around the agreed TUSC core policies. The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition is, as its name suggests, a coalition. Alongside leading trade unionists and individual socialist councillors sitting in a personal capacity on the national steering committee, there are five organizations with official delegates to the committee: the RMT transport workers' union, the Socialist Party, the Socialist Workers Party, Socialist Resistance, and the TUSC Independent Socialist Network, which represents unaffiliated members.

Despite its lack of sexiness, reducing energy demand through insulation, smart meters, double-glazing, and efficient appliances offers the best and most cost-effective chance to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, according to the UK Green Building Council. In Copenhagen, a study found that heat demand from buildings could be reduced by up to 76%.\n\nI also ensured that every street was lined with trees. Recent studies show that having 10 or more trees in your street makes you feel seven years younger.\n\nWaste management\n\nThe biggest struggle for my city was rubbish. I resisted and resisted installing incinerators to burn the trash in my overflowing landfills. But eventually I had to relent, after thousands of people began deserting my trash- and (presumably) rat-infested city.\n\nThis is indeed a serious real-world stumbling block for all would-be eco-cities, including Copenhagen. Even though Danes create more household waste than any other EU country, they have one of the lowest landfill rates: much of the waste is burned instead, to create energy. Copenhagen dumps just 3% of its waste into the ground and incinerates 39%.\n\nRecycling advocates say incinerators are an outmoded technology, one that locks us into the waste cycle and pumps out dangerous gases, including CO2, NOx, N2O, and ammonia. Faced with a plan to build an incinerator, residents of the Italian town of Capannori decided to bypass the technology and employ a citizen-powered recycling programme. Landfill rates dropped from 60% to less than 20% in a decade. Unfortunately, Cities: Skylines does not give the option for such enlightened leadership.\n\nPop: 50,000. Hopenhagen’s landfills begin to overflow. Trash collectors stop collecting trash. Citizens begin leaving in droves. Incinerators it is.\n\nThe greenest?\n\nEventually, I think I probably came out on a par with Copenhagen. My electricity system was blessed by low cost and unrealistically favourable weather for renewable energy. But my transport system lagged far behind Denmark’s.

Unlike Copenhagen, my city begins on an unpopulated plain, with plentiful resources and open spaces to plan and craft the most efficient city possible. The residents of Greensberg in Kansas were able to achieve something similar after a calamitous tornado destroyed 95% of their buildings in 2007. The town has since rebuilt as the greenest in the US.

While you might have to be away from home, a cage serves as the best option for keeping your pup safe from potentially dangerous situations, especially when you are not around to supervise.\n\nCage sizing is the most important factor when choosing crates for dogs. When buying a pet crate, ensure that you do not choose an overly spacious model. The space inside the crate should give your dog enough room to move and turn around with ease, meaning they should not hit the sides or the top. It is important for your pet to be able to sit straight up without banging their head. You should invest in folding dog cages where they can lay down with their paws stretched out. Take special care with small dog cages and puppy crates to ensure the crate does not end up cramping your dog. The only way they will love their new \"den\" is if they seek natural comfort and do not feel caged.\n\nGenerally, people buy a large-sized crate assuming their dog will luxuriously lay inside contentedly. However, this assumption is wrong. Crates are meant for house training and to take advantage of the fact that a dog's natural instinct is to not soil their sleeping area. When seeking crates for dogs, make sure it is not so big that your puppy ends up making one end a bathroom and the other a bedroom.\n\nAppropriately sized crates give your dog, especially older ones, a feeling of safety and security. Dogs will enjoy a properly sized crate rather than feeling as if they are rattling around in an empty room. This completely misses the point of giving them a \"snug\" feeling of belonging.\n\nHow are you going to select the correct size? Understanding your dog's body measurements for pet crate sizes is the key. You might wonder if their weight is important. Well, it is certainly influential towards your decision. Considering this, you have to take into account that the crate should have an allowance that is six inches longer than your dog's body and six inches taller than their shoulder height. The main purpose of this measurement is to give your dog just enough room to stand up, turn around, and stretch out while they rest or lie down in their new room. Plenty of space to move is adequate without offering extra room.\n\nIf you are buying this crate for a puppy, make sure to take their full-grown size into consideration.

The budgetary implications of legalization exceed those of decriminalization for three reasons. First, legalization eliminates arrests for trafficking in addition to eliminating arrests for possession. Second, legalization saves prosecutorial, judicial, and incarceration expenses, whereas these savings are minimal in the case of decriminalization. Third, legalization allows for the taxation of marijuana production and sale.\n\nThis report concludes that marijuana legalization would reduce government expenditure by $7.7 billion annually. Marijuana legalization would also generate tax revenue of $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like all other goods, and $6.2 billion annually if taxed at rates comparable to those on alcohol and tobacco. These budgetary impacts rely on a range of assumptions, but these probably bias the estimated expenditure reductions and tax revenues downward.\n\nThe remainder of the report proceeds as follows. Section II estimates state and local expenditure on marijuana prohibition. Section III estimates federal expenditure on marijuana prohibition. Section IV estimates the tax revenue that would accrue from legalized marijuana. Section V discusses caveats and implications.\n\nII. State and Local Expenditure for Drug Prohibition Enforcement\n\nThe savings in state and local government expenditure that would result from marijuana legalization consist of three main components: the reduction in police resources from the elimination of marijuana arrests; the reduction in prosecutorial and judicial resources from the elimination of marijuana prosecutions; and the reduction in correctional resources from the elimination of marijuana incarcerations. There are other possible savings in government expenditure from legalization, but these are minor or difficult to estimate with existing data. The omission of these items biases the estimated savings downward.\n\nTo estimate the state savings in criminal justice resources, this report uses the following procedure. It estimates the percentage of arrests in a state for marijuana violations and multiplies this by the budget for police. It estimates the percentage of prosecutions in a state for marijuana violations and multiplies this by the budget for prosecutors and judges. It estimates the percentage of incarcerations in a state for marijuana violations and multiplies this by the budget for prisons. It then sums these components to estimate the overall reduction in government expenditure. Under plausible assumptions, this procedure yields a reasonable estimate of the cost savings from marijuana legalization.\n\nThe Police Budget Due to Marijuana Prohibition\n\nThe first cost of marijuana prohibition is the portion of state police budgets devoted to marijuana arrests.\n\nTable 1 calculates the fraction of arrests in each state due to marijuana prohibition. Column 1 gives the total number of arrests for the year 2000. Column 2 gives the number of arrests for marijuana possession violations. Column 3 gives the number of arrests for marijuana sale and manufacturing violations. Columns 4 and 5 give the ratio of Column 2 to Column 1 and Column 3 to Column 1, respectively; these are the percentages of arrests for possession and sale and manufacture of marijuana, respectively.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3532, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "f85c4c71ac14095f73053eb53cd74b9270bcdf89", "raw_chars": 3396, "clean_chars": 3811, "edit_ratio": 0.6237, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A player who enjoys inflicting pain on others without reason is often called a griefer. If you kill new players in a PvP game when you are level 50, you gain no experience or benefit from the victimization beyond the pure joy of knowing you have given the player \"grief.\" Although griefers are almost always player killers (PKers), not all PKers are griefers.\n\nGuilds are semi-permanent player groups. In typical games, players must use a substantial amount of capital to start a guild.\n\nThe abbreviation GTG can mean either \"good to go\" or \"got to go,\" which can be confusing when context is unclear.\n\nThe term Heal refers to a spell or skill that restores the health of the target. It can also be a call for help. If a player yells \"heal me\" or even \"heal!\", it means they are about to die unless another player restores their health.\n\nHealth is a common attribute, also called hit points or HP, that signifies the character's life. Usually, when health runs out, a player dies.\n\nIMHO simply means \"in my humble opinion.\"\n\nThe abbreviation INC stands for \"incoming.\" When a player pulls for a group, they will use this as a warning that a mob is incoming.\n\nINT is a common stat that stands for intelligence. It is often the primary attribute for spell casters, usually relating to spell damage and/or mana pool.\n\nIRL stands for \"in real life.\"\n\nAn instance is a copy of a particular dungeon for a group of players. Instanced dungeons are parallel worlds that let different groups of players explore the same dungeon in separate groups.\n\nJK or j/k is short for \"just kidding.\" It is popular in most online chat environments, including MMORPGs.\n\nJumping is a mechanic in most games that allows the player-controlled character to jump abnormally high in a repetitive fashion, as seen in World of Warcraft. However, some games penalize players with a stamina cost for jumping, such as EverQuest.\n\nK, KK, or Kay are all variants with the same meaning: okay. They are used to confirm a statement made by another player. For example, \"Can I have this loot? K.\"\n\nTo kite is to lure a mob or player around while attacking or allowing allies to attack. A player usually draws aggro by casting a mobility reduction spell on the target. The monster tries to follow the target but cannot catch up, leaving it open to attacks or the effects of damage over time (DoT) spells.\n\nKoS is an acronym for \"Kill on Sight.\" It usually refers to characters who are disliked by a particular faction. For example, \"I killed too many guards, now I'm KoS in town!\"\n\nKS stands for Kill Stealing. This occurs when one player attacks the same creature as another player and receives the reward for the kill instead of the person who initiated combat. Newer games have mechanisms for discouraging this behavior.\n\nLD stands for \"link dead,\" which happens when a player is disconnected from the game, usually caused by lag or a faulty internet connection.\n\nLeet is slang for \"elite.\" For example, \"I'm leet.\"\n\nLFG stands for \"looking for group.\" It is used in a sentence like, \"Lvl 60 Mage LFG!\"\n\nLFM stands for \"looking for more,\" meaning that after a group has been formed, more members are needed.\n\nLFT stands for \"looking for team.\"\n\nLMAO stands for \"laughing my ass off.\"\n\nLOL stands for \"laughing out loud.\"\n\nLOM means \"low on mana.\" It is usually said by casters to inform the rest of the group that they are running low on mana and should not expect heavy healing or offensive spells.\n\nLoS stands for \"line of sight.\" It is a requirement of most ranged abilities, meaning the view of the target must not be obstructed by any fixed obstacle such as a wall.\n\nLoot refers to currency or items that are dropped by a mob when it is defeated.\n\nMedding is a term used in gaming, though its specific definition is not provided in this context.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3547, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7b05a5125dacb75723c1e2b4ad033367f8ab812e", "raw_chars": 1009, "clean_chars": 1017, "edit_ratio": 0.0405, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "You know?

Sey's effortless voice is powered by the legacy of her West African father, Afropop star Maudo Sey, and intersects with the Swedish pop sensibilities of her peers, such as Robyn, Tove Lo, and Lykke Li. This is Seinabo Sey's birthright, and she owns it when she sings, \"This time I will be louder than my words.\"\n\nThe Weepies, 'No Trouble'\n\nIt was a year that felt \"otherworldly, hopeful, terrible.\" That's how Steve Tannen, one half of The Weepies, describes 2014. At the end of 2013, his wife Deb Talan, the other half of the folk duo, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She spent the next year fighting it with the help of her husband and musical partner. The end result was a new recording called Sirens, the duo's first full-length release in five years, and a cautiously optimistic clean bill of health for Talan. As you might expect, Sirens is intensely personal, incredibly emotional, triumphant, and fearful at the same time. The Weepies' members say that is exactly how 2014 felt to them. Some of the songs were written at the couple's home, while others came together at the hospital during Talan's treatment. Some, like \"No Trouble,\" were written before the two learned of Talan's diagnosis, which lends them even more poignancy. \"I don't need no trouble,\" Tannen sings in this modern-day prophecy, \"but sometimes trouble needs me.\" The good news is that, like the end of The Weepies' tumultuous year, \"No Trouble\" concludes on a hopeful note: \"The more you look for love, the more you're gonna find.\"\n\nThe Chemical Brothers, 'Go'\n\nThe Chemical Brothers' return accompanies what could easily be the jam of the forthcoming summer: \"Go,\" from Born In The Echoes. It's the duo's first new album in five years, and it marks a return to the groundbreaking dance-party efforts of The Chemical Brothers' early years. \"Go\" features former A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip, who, as some may recall, was featured in 2005's \"Galvanize.\" The official music video for \"Go\" was directed by Michel Gondry, who is known both for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and for several memorable Bjork videos.\n\nSam Outlaw, 'Keep It Interesting'\n\nFor the last several years, singer-songwriter Sam Outlaw has been at the forefront of the modern L.A. country scene. Drawing on the musical spirits of Dwight Yoakam, George Jones, and Strait, Outlaw has crafted an instant classic with his new album, Angeleno. To help him, he enlisted a top-of-the-class group of musicians as his collaborators, including co-producers Ry Cooder and Joachim Cooder, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, Bo Koster of My Morning Jacket, and Gabe Witcher of Punch Brothers. Outlaw, whose real name is Sam Morgan (Outlaw is his mother's maiden name), is a soulful crooner, and in the upbeat \"Keep It Interesting,\" he offers a fresh take on pure country.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3544, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8573bad5e99fe1e1c12593eb61ff232fc36bc161", "raw_chars": 3250, "clean_chars": 3041, "edit_ratio": 0.0358, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Gay Nineties, 'Hold Your Fire'\n\nOne of my tests for a great song is whether the melody pops up in my head days or weeks after I first hear it. That was the case with Vancouver band Gay Nineties and its high-energy single \"Hold Your Fire.\" I had to dig around to remember what band had that catchy chorus, not to mention a guitar riff so searing-hot you could fry bacon with it. But I found it, and I'm sharing it with you now. Gay Nineties' music has been compared to Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks, but whatever the comparison, it rocks with an irresistible swagger.\n\nColiseum, 'We Are The Water'\n\nI lost my dad late last month, and reorienting has been a tough, strange process. During the last few weeks, the presence of life-affirming music has not only helped me put one foot in front of the other, but also inspired me to start running full speed ahead. The new Coliseum record, Anxiety's Kiss, is full of that propulsive energy. Every time I put the needle down on \"We Are The Water,\" my eyes get wide and my body feels recharged. On a less personal note, this might just be Coliseum's best album yet. The band has grown into its sound after years of experimenting, and \"We Are The Water\" is a phenomenal example of that.\n\nBishop Nehru, 'User$'\n\nBishop Nehru's \"User$\" is essential \"backpack rap\" — and I mean that in a good way. Hearkening back to early-'90s hip-hop, the song features a melodic, non-rump-shaking beat and soothing rhymes that urge listeners to be true to themselves and follow their own path. (Keep in mind that this advice is coming from an 18-year-old New York MC who's already managed collaborative albums with MF Doom and a European tour with the Wu-Tang Clan.) I can't wait to hear more head-nodding tracks from Nehru's upcoming solo LP — executive-produced by Nas — later this year.\n\nElvis Depressedly, 'New Alhambra'\n\nUnder the punny moniker Elvis Depressedly, Mat Cothran has churned out a steady stream of songs defined by atypical recording techniques, a hodgepodge of junk gear and the use of only a single microphone. Cothran's latest, New Alhambra, still hews to a lo-fi aesthetic, but the Asheville, N.C., songwriter — along with his bandmate and fiancée Delaney Mills — presents Elvis Depressedly's most polished and affecting work yet. The album's title track sets the scene with a staticky snippet of a man chanting \"Forever!\" amid noisy cheers — a clip that sounds lifted from an old TV broadcast or a decaying VHS tape left out in the sun. Considering that the title name-drops a South Philadelphia arena that frequently hosted professional wrestling, that eerie, echoing crowd noise serves as a perfect mood-altering intro for a reflective pop song that ruminates on the past. \"Break these wild horses, I have wasted my whole life / Cavities caving to numbness, I am never going to die,\" Cothran sings amid a swirl of shimmering synth textures and an icy drum-machine beat.

The story was widely covered because fear is easy to sell, but the real story has not received the same coverage. Analysis of the seismic activity around the area indicates that there will not be any supervolcanic eruptions for hundreds of millennia.\n\nIf you are a doomsayer, Yellowstone National Park was a perfect potential cause for the apocalypse. There was the irony that a place considered such an American touchstone would cover America in dozens of feet of ash, and the irony that such a tranquil place, geysers aside, would bring about so much destruction. There was also what seemed to be an unusual degree of scientific credibility to it as far as doomsday scenarios go.\n\nEvery 600,000 years, the Yellowstone National Park caldera has a super eruption. These eruptions were extraordinarily huge, ranging in size from 1,000 to 6,000 times the size of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. The Yellowstone super eruptions generated so much ash that Denver, Colorado, would be buried in several feet of it, with piles of the stuff drifting to an estimated 19 states. Due to being superheated, this ash would not merely pile up but has been shown to actually fuse together. So it would not only asphyxiate countless people, make travel over a vast region impossible, and disrupt the climate, but it would essentially put a layer of asphalt over 19 states of the US. Crops would be destroyed, and great tracts of land would be unusable for farming for generations. The last time something like this happened was 630,000 years ago, supposedly indicating that if anything, another one is overdue.\n\nAt worst, however, that won’t happen for a period of time longer than human civilization has existed. At best, it won’t happen at all. The National Park Service, US Geological Survey, and National Science Foundation are all in agreement that there is no evidence that an eruption is imminent.\n\nThe cycle of eruptions based on past supervolcanic activity indicates that Yellowstone is actually becoming less seismically active over time. The National Park Service states that at most there will be increased lava flow activity in the near future, which would be a manageable threat—even people in Yellowstone could be safely evacuated. The Geological Survey states that it will be at least one million years before such an eruption would be likely, possibly as many as two million.\n\nOf course, some will offer that it’s possible that the people monitoring the seismic activity around Yellowstone Park are horribly wrong. After all, the aforementioned Mount St. Helens eruption caught experts by surprise. But if it turns out Yellowstone ever does erupt, presumably the embarrassment will be the least of our concerns.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3569, "chunk_idx": 7, "raw_sha1": "9de110f3461016a4dc87a9c90ad20777ec8851e0", "raw_chars": 2356, "clean_chars": 2420, "edit_ratio": 0.2906, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The use of a decentralized platform more generally serves to guarantee that reputation data is not manipulated at the point of calculation.\n\nNow, for all of these benefits, there are substitutes. We can trust Visa and Mastercard to provide cryptographically signed receipts that a particular transaction took place. We can store reputational records on archive.org. We can have servers talk to each other. We can have private companies specify in their terms of service that they agree to be nice, and so forth. All of these options are reasonably effective, but they are not nearly as nice as simply putting everything out into the open, running it on \"the world computer,\" and letting cryptographic verification and proofs do the work. A similar argument can be made for every other use case.\n\nCutting Costs\n\nIf the largest value from blockchain technology comes at the long tail, as this thesis suggests, then that leads to an important conclusion: the per-transaction gain from using a blockchain is very small. Hence, the problem of cutting the costs of consensus and increasing blockchain scalability becomes paramount. With centralized solutions, users and businesses are used to paying essentially zero dollars per transaction. Although individuals looking to donate to WikiLeaks may be willing to pay even a fee of five dollars to get their transaction through, someone trying to upload a reputation record may well only be willing to pay a fee of half a cent.\n\nHence, the problem of making consensus cheaper, both in the absolute sense (for example, through proof of stake) and in the per-transaction sense (for example, through scalable blockchain algorithms where at most a few hundred nodes process each transaction), is absolutely paramount. Additionally, blockchain developers should keep in mind that the last forty years of software development has been a history of moving to progressively less and less efficient programming languages and paradigms solely because they allow developers to be less experienced and lazier. Similarly, we should work to design blockchain algorithms that work around the principle that developers are really not going to be all that smart and judicious about what they put on the blockchain and what they keep off.

Fenggang Yang of Purdue University in Indiana notes that Christianity has been growing very rapidly in the country over the last several decades, with little sign that the trend is slowing down.\n\nThe faith has evolved from a largely rural religion into an urban phenomenon that is particularly popular with entrepreneurs, and many of the new converts are now young people. Yang estimates that within a few years, China could have more Christians than Communist Party members, who numbered more than 85 million in the last official count. Furthermore, within just 15 years, China could overtake the United States as the country with the largest Christian population in the world, although Chinese state media have disputed these claims.\n\nAt a local church, the cross was once covered by a cheap plastic tarpaulin at the foot of the stairs, but the congregation has managed to keep demolition crews at bay for now.

Consequently, the judge refused to apportion the couple's approximately $500,000 to $1.2 million in marital assets to cover the resulting tax liabilities.\n\nActing Supreme Court Justice Andrew A. Crecca wrote in the ruling for Maria C. v. Dominick C. (04775/08) that it is well settled that expenses, including unpaid taxes, incurred prior to the commencement of a divorce action constitute marital debt. Under normal circumstances, this debt should be equally shared by the parties. However, in rare instances where a party's conduct in creating a debt is so egregious, shocking, fraudulent, or malicious, the court can exercise its discretion and refuse to apportion the debt. The judge concluded that the facts and circumstances of this case represented one of those rare instances.\n\nShortly before the divorce went to trial in March, the defendant-husband, Dominick C., unilaterally filed amended marital tax returns for the years 2004 through 2007. In these returns, the husband admitted to earning more than $1.6 million in unreported income over those four years. He filed the returns on his own initiative, as the couple was not being audited or under investigation, and without his wife's signature. The cover page included a list of assets the government might consider attaching, including the couple's house. The husband stated the house's value at $1.2 million, along with the size of the mortgage and the name of the bank holding the loan.\n\nAfter hearing testimony from a variety of fact and expert witnesses, including the husband's accountant and the wife's forensic accountant, the court determined that the husband had a single, illegitimate reason for belatedly reporting his business's income. The judge stated, \"The court sees no legitimate reason for this outrageous and despicable conduct, which the court finds is based solely on malice and revenge, with no other goal than to prevent his wife from any recovery in equitable distribution.\"\n\nAccordingly, as a result of such shocking and egregious conduct on the part of the defendant-husband, the court declined to apportion any tax liability to the plaintiff-wife in connection with the amended personal returns.

Approximately 50 to 60 percent of the energy generated in coal and oil-based power plants is wasted as heat. However, thermophotovoltaic devices, which generate electricity from thermal radiation, could potentially be adapted to industrial pipes in factories and power plants, as well as on car engines and automotive exhaust systems, to recapture much of this wasted energy.\n\nIn their recent findings, researchers demonstrated how to restrict the emission of thermal radiation to a specific portion of the spectrum most suitable for thermophotovoltaic technology. \"These devices require spectrally tailored thermal emission at high temperatures, and our research shows that intrinsic material properties can be controlled so that a very hot object glows only in certain colors,\" said Zubin Jacob, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University. \"The main idea is to start controlling thermal emission at record high temperatures in ways that haven't been done before.\"\n\nThe thermal metamaterial, composed of nanoscale layers of tungsten and hafnium oxide, was used to suppress the emission of one portion of the spectrum while enhancing emission in another. Metamaterials are composite media containing features, patterns, or elements such as tiny nanoantennas that enable unprecedented control of light. Under development for about 15 years, these materials owe their unusual abilities to precision design and manufacture on the nanometer scale.\n\n\"They have been used mainly to manipulate coherent light, as in a laser, but the ability to manipulate infrared thermal radiation at 1,000 degrees Celsius opens up new areas of research,\" Jacob said. \"The technique we used to achieve this thermal suppression and enhancement is fundamentally different from existing thermal engineering approaches and harnesses a phenomenon called topological transitions.\"\n\nThis research represents the first time the approach was used for thermal emission in high-temperature metamaterials, also known as refractory metamaterials. The findings were detailed in a research paper published earlier this year in the journal Nature Communications. The work was performed by researchers at Purdue University, the Hamburg University of Technology in Germany, the University of Alberta in Canada, and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Centre for Materials and Coastal Research in Germany.

Electrons in the semiconductor occupy a region of energy called the valence band while the material is in the dark. Shining light on the material causes the electrons to absorb energy, elevating them into a region of higher energy called the conduction band.

Unfortunately, owing to India’s nuclear isolation following its first weapons test in 1974, the country was unable to source the equipment or fissile material needed to meet any realistic timeline for its Thorium-based Nuclear Power Programme (TNSP) goals. Nonetheless, India continued its thorium-related research and, with the end of its nuclear isolation, is now looking for ways to hasten the process.\n\nIndia’s thorium cycle activities, though creditable, remain at a semi-industrial level. The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has mined thousands of tonnes of monazite and extracted thorium oxide (ThO2) to produce nuclear-grade ThO2 powder. This powder has been used to fabricate fuel pins for irradiation in both power generation and research reactors.\n\nSince the late 1980s, six Indian Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (IPHWRs) have each been loaded with thirty-five 19-element ThO2 pellet bundles at different points in time. The ThO2 bundles were irradiated up to 600 full-power days (FPDs), achieving a maximum burnup of over 13,000 megawatt-days per ton (MWd/t). Notably, the DAE reports no fuel failures in these experiments. The design of these ThO2 bundles was similar to the standard natural uranium (NU) bundles used in IPHWRs. These irradiation experiments were conducted not only to gain insights into reactor physics and fuel design but also to achieve flux flattening in the initial cores of the selected IPHWRs.\n\nFurther studies have also been conducted with fuel bundles made of both ThO2 and slightly enriched uranium (SEU) elements. The DAE is currently considering using ThO2 on a regular basis in future IPHWRs to build a U-233 inventory. In any case, these studies have given the DAE the confidence to develop heavy-water-reactor designs that utilise large thorium loads with enriched uranium as a driver. Experiments related to thorium-plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for boiling water reactors have also been undertaken. Overall, the DAE’s examinations suggest that ThO2-based fuels exhibit better thermo-mechanical properties and slower fuel deterioration than UO2-based fuels.\n\nAluminium-clad 'J' rods containing ThO2 pellets have also been irradiated in the CIRUS research reactor at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay. In addition, Zircaloy-clad test-pin assemblies made of Th-Pu MOX pellets containing 4–7% PuO2 have been successfully irradiated in dedicated engineering loops in CIRUS to a burnup of 18,000 MWd/t without any failure. These irradiated rods were subsequently reprocessed in the DAE’s Uranium Thorium Separation Facility using the THOREX process to obtain U-233. The U-233 obtained has been used to fabricate U-Al alloy plate fuel to drive the 30-kWt KAMINI research reactor, which has been in operation at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) in Kalpakkam since 1996. Incidentally, KAMINI is the only operating reactor in the world that uses U-233 as its primary fuel.

In fact, the worse the conditions, the more likely it appeared that Norwegians would organize an event. Get a hundred or so cars, fit some spiked snow tires, find a frozen lake, and you have Gatebil On Ice.\n\nBut just turning up on the day with what he had at the close of 2012 wouldn’t be enough: Fredric had something up his sleeve for Gatebil On Ice, courtesy of his friends at KRB Trading.\n\nI had flown in to meet Fredric from the UK, which had been suffering under a blanket of snow that had virtually paralyzed the country. Then I arrived in Norway, and everything was put in context. This is a country that is under snow for a good six months of the year. A blanket of snow? This was more like carpet bombing. I traded my compact rental car for a Subaru 4x4 just to be safe and felt a lot better about things.\n\nBut it’s all about attitude. In the UK, there is certainly not the investment in infrastructure, and people just aren’t used to driving in slippery conditions. Over here, these kinds of road conditions are normal, and drivers adjust their approach accordingly. It also helps that winter tires are a legal requirement.\n\nDriving through Norway is never a chore, and the frozen harbors around the Bygdøy promontory were absolutely beautiful, worth the risk of wild snapping away out of the window.\n\nKRB Trading is located about an hour to the southwest of Oslo: a blast down the snowy motorway from the capital and then a short run on local roads parallel with the frozen Drammenselva River, one of Norway’s largest waterways, which heads inland from the big Drammensfjord on the coast.\n\nKRB’s relationship with Fredric goes deep: they were heavily involved in the engine for the 86-X project, which in itself went back to Fredric’s previous Supra ride. They’ve also worked with rallycross legend Sverre Isachsen over the years. He lives relatively locally. Norway is a big country, but everybody is a close neighbor, it appears.\n\nSo, what do KRB Trading do exactly? One look inside their main building made it pretty clear.

Shelves and boxes groaned under the weight of turbos of every size and shape.\n\nAs the sun sank over the horizon and the bitter cold set in, attention turned to KRB’s relatively recent addition to their arsenal: a fully equipped, purpose-built dyno room built just over a year ago.\n\nFredric rolled up with the 86-X snug in its trailer, and snug was an understatement. The ultra-wide Rocket Bunny body kit means the car fits in with just centimeters to spare.\n\nSafely out of the trailer, Fredric backed the Toyota into the garage to get hooked up to the dyno life support system.\n\nIt was time to play turbos.\n\nThere would be two main changes for the 86-X’s first run-out of 2013: the first was a Comp billet cartridge turbo upgrade.

While reading the AAAS Newsletter, I came across a blurb that caught my attention:\n\n\"Virginia Panel Releases Coastal Flooding Report.\" A subpanel of the Secure Commonwealth Panel of Virginia released a report containing several recommendations for dealing with risks posed by coastal flooding. The report, which is largely based on data from a 2013 report by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, predicts a sea level rise of 1.5 feet within the next 20 to 50 years along the Virginia coast.\n\nMy internal alarm bells started ringing immediately. I decided to convert that figure to metric to see where it led. A foot and a half is 450 millimeters. Global sea level rise currently stands at approximately two to three millimeters per year, which is also about the rate of rise that has occurred over the last century. To rise a foot and a half at the historical and current rate would take between 150 and 225 years. Of course, we would need to account for local subsidence, but even then, the discrepancy was striking. So, I went to examine the underlying report linked in the newsletter.\n\nAfter obtaining the report and reading through it, I found myself laughing. There had been a recent discussion on Watts Up With That regarding the concept of consensus, and I thought this report served as a marvelous example of the modern and often meaningless use of the term \"consensus.\"\n\nThe report states: \"The future of sea level change in Virginia is most appropriately forecast by reference to the state-of-the-science synthesis and recommendations prepared for the National Climate Assessment (Parris et al. 2012). The consensus of scientists working on this report is that by 2100 global sea level will be between 8 inches and 6.6 feet above the level in 1992. When modified by local and regional factors this information provides the best available basis for planning.\"\n\nA \"consensus\" that sea level rise by 2100 will be anywhere from eight inches to seven feet? That is an incredibly broad range. How is such a floor-to-ceiling estimate the \"best available basis for planning\"?\n\nRegardless, the report allows us to run the numbers. According to the document, they have allowed for 2.7 millimeters per year for local subsidence. Therefore, the future sea level scenarios presented in Figure 16 are the global scenarios modified to include local subsidence, estimated at 2.7 millimeters per year, or about 0.1 inch per year.\n\nTo achieve that 450 millimeters (1.5 feet) of rise in 50 years would require the seas to rise by no less than nine millimeters per year. If we allow 2.7 millimeters per year for subsidence, as the report does, the global sea level would have to rise at 6.3 millimeters per year, starting now and continuing for fifty years.\n\nThe situation gets even more problematic when considering a 20-year timeframe. To get that foot and a half of rise in 20 years would require the seas to immediately start rising at 22.5 millimeters per year, or roughly 20 millimeters per year after accounting for subsidence. I note in passing that this rate is the maximum rate mentioned in the underlying document. In other words, they have taken the absolute worst and most extreme estimate—6.6 feet by the year 2100—and called it the \"best available estimate for planning.\" It is hard to take seriously.\n\nHow fast is the sea level actually rising around Virginia, including subsidence?

It offers hope that this transformation can occur in time to hold off the worst impacts of global warming.\n\nAt a time of fiscal retrenchment in the West, the chance of meeting climate pledges through additional development assistance is approximately zero. However, the pledge is eminently achievable within the context of global energy investment, which has an annual flow a dozen times as large as the amount pledged in Copenhagen.\n\nThe capital needed for a global shift to low-carbon energy systems can be mobilized from highly liquid but risk-averse institutional investors, such as pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds, which hold assets of more than $80 trillion. The way to attract these funds is to engage public finance entities as partners to reduce investment risk, particularly in developing countries, and ensure safe, predictable returns.\n\nWhether driven by a price on carbon, a reduction in fossil fuel subsidies, or continuing technological innovation, national action and large-scale investment to transform the world’s energy systems can initiate a more optimistic era of concrete progress on climate change. Combined with a compelling global vision, public-private collaboration, and a pledge to return to the negotiating table at regular intervals until success is achieved, this is a strong and forward-looking package that could be agreed upon in Paris in 2015. It would deliver what the world needs most—a decision to act, not just negotiate. This effort might even be led by the world’s two largest emitters of carbon dioxide, the United States and China. It is already consistent with the U.S. position, China appears ready to bring forward new commitments, and the two countries are actively collaborating on climate and energy in a number of ways.\n\nWhether such steps will be enough to avert climate catastrophe remains unclear. Even if the major industrialized economies were able to reduce their emissions completely, the prognosis for the earth’s atmosphere would still be grim if resource-rich developing countries do not change course. What Paris can do is help accelerate the pace of technological adoption and change, toward the day when the cleanest energy sources are also the cheapest and thus become dominant. The payoff will be improved public health and increased economic well-being.

Countries, states, cities, and companies are taking action, driven partly by concern about climate change and partly by economic self-interest. This interest manifests directly through money-saving efficiency measures, such as installing LED streetlights, and indirectly by saving lives that are currently cut short by air pollution. As the market for low-carbon technologies expands, these technologies will improve in both performance and price, becoming increasingly competitive.\n\nWhile the higher initial capital cost of clean energy technologies remains a hurdle, the lack of fuel costs for renewable energy sources like sunlight and wind serves as an offsetting variable. Similarly, the cost savings from energy efficiency produce a predictable and attractive rate of return. Indeed, one recent survey found that investments in low-carbon solutions generate a positive return of 33 percent. On the other side of the equation, it has long been recognized that the price of fossil fuels does not reflect their many external costs, including air pollution, political and security risks, and damage from climate change.\n\nChina’s recent history exemplifies both the historic tension between development and climate and a pathway to reconcile them. Coal fueled the country’s remarkable economic growth but also produced unhealthy air and intolerable environmental damage. In response, China’s leaders are engineering a serious shift toward wind and solar energy, greater energy efficiency, and the development of shale gas, motivated by political and economic self-interest. This reversal may lead to greater alignment on climate policy among China, the United States, and the European Union, and could also influence other developing countries.\n\nThrough these examples and many others, a new path is emerging toward accelerated progress on climate change, based on a theme of opportunity. The shift to renewables and increased efficiency is producing new businesses, more jobs, cleaner air and water, and better public health. The political reality is that countries increasingly will see that this path is in their own self-interest. They should be encouraged to compete for advantage in a race to the top, rather than bicker over emissions limits.\n\nThe Paris climate conference, scheduled for December 2015, is the setting for action on a new long-term global agreement. Central to success will be four principal elements.\n\nThe first is an affirmation of global objectives. Nations should reassert the world’s commitment, first stated in the 1992 Framework Convention, to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, as well as the agreement in the 2009 Copenhagen Accord to limit the increase in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius. They should link this vision to specific and measurable national commitments that will signal a global turn from words to action and foster a new can-do attitude for addressing climate change.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3639, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "add00d557aa19ba0c6c69ddfeed4a21694eba659", "raw_chars": 3336, "clean_chars": 3386, "edit_ratio": 0.1068, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Due to the large number of dialects, there is no single original native name for the North Frisian language as a whole. For example, the Wiedingharde and Halligen Frisians call their language freesk, while in the Bökingharde it is called frasch, and in the Goesharde it is referred to as fräisch or freesch. Although these names all translate to \"Frisian,\" the native names of the insular dialects refer to the particular islands, such as Fering, Öömrang, Söl'ring, or Halunder. In the Föhr dialect, for instance, \"Frisian\" would be expressed as fresk.\n\nThe North Frisians eventually agreed upon the inter-dialectal name friisk, which corresponds to the West Frisian native name frysk. This designation is today mostly used when addressing the North Frisian collectivity or in the names of official institutions such as the Nordfriisk Instituut, Friisk Foriining, or Friisk Gesäts. However, the northern section of the Interfrisian Council has kept its name Frasche Rädj in the Mooring dialect.\n\nDespite the strong differences among the North Frisian dialects, there are still some phonological traits that are more or less common to all of them. One such trait is the lowering from [ɪ] to [a], which is mostly complete in the central dialects but is only at the stage of [ɛ] or [eː] in the periphery. For example, the word \"fish\" translates to fasch in Mooring, fask in Fering-Öömrang, but fesk in Söl'ring (cf. Low German Fisch/Fisk, Danish fisk, German Fisch, Dutch vis).\n\nThe distribution of the lenition of the unvoiced plosives p, t, and k is similar, as they have become voiced plosives and partially even developed into fricatives in the central dialects. This can be demonstrated using the verb \"to know\": Mooring uses waase, Fering-Öömrang uses wed, Sölring uses weet, and Halunder uses wet (cf. West Frisian witte, Low German weten, German wissen).\n\nThe North Frisian dialects differ from modern Standard German by having a more diverse system of diphthongs and consonants. All of the dialects feature an additional line of palatalizations, which is uncommon for a Germanic language. Until recently, an additional number of dental consonants that changed the meaning of a word occurred in the dialect of Föhr. In general, it can be noted that the insular dialects feature a relatively complicated consonantal system, while the mainland dialects have more diverse vowels.\n\nRecently, the phonological system of the North Frisian dialects has been strongly influenced by Standard German and is slowly adapting to its system.\n\nOfficially, the number of North Frisian speakers ranges from 8,000 to 10,000, but linguists propose significantly lower numbers. In 2007, Århammar estimated a total of 5,000 speakers inside and 1,500 to 2,000 speakers outside North Frisia proper. Exact surveys do not exist.\n\nNorth Frisian is an endangered language, as in most places, children no longer learn it. In UNESCO's Red Book of Endangered Languages, North Frisian is classified as \"seriously endangered.\" Exceptions are a few villages on the islands of Föhr and Amrum and the Risum-Lindholm area. Especially in the western parts of Föhr, the language community is still relatively common. The number of speakers on Föhr and Amrum alone is estimated to be around 3,500. The other dialects are, in fact, seriously endangered, such as Karrharde Frisian, Central Goesharde, and Halligen Frisian.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3643, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c9639444bd50b886fb487d4399cd301b17ae1916", "raw_chars": 3164, "clean_chars": 3304, "edit_ratio": 0.4957, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A better solution would be to have the model define a protocol that interested parties would implement to observe its changes. In this scenario, the thread view controller would implement the protocol and register itself with the model as an observer, or delegate. While this approach makes components more reusable, it is cumbersome to implement, particularly when dealing with many models. In essence, it is the same as the first approach, just wrapped in a more elegant structure.\n\nAnother solution is to use the Key-Value-Observing (KVO) mechanism to observe data changes and update the view accordingly. Although this approach keeps the architecture simple, it is difficult to use and can be unsafe in certain situations. Developers must be vigilant when adding and removing observers and must manually downcast objects, as KVO is not type-safe. Furthermore, KVO does not support fine-grained observation of arrays, meaning the entire table would need to be reloaded regardless of the specific type of array update.\n\nOf course, one could take a completely different approach, such as introducing a functional reactive paradigm into the architecture using the ReactiveCocoa framework. By using streams and signals, this issue could be resolved. While this is a valid solution, it introduces an entirely new paradigm and a level of complexity that may not be necessary.\n\nWhat we really want is something as simple as static assignment, but without the burden of additional protocols, complexities, or limitations.\n\nA Swift Solution\n\nTo keep the view up to date with the underlying data, we must somehow observe changes in the data and propagate them to the view. There is no direct way for a third party to observe changes to a variable, but if we think about it, the same result can be achieved by wrapping the variable in an object and updating its value through that object. This gives us a way to intercept changes and notify interested parties of what happened.\n\nTo achieve this, we will use a Swift feature called property observers. Additionally, we will use generics to make our wrapper compatible with any type. Let us call this wrapper \"Dynamic,\" as it encapsulates dynamic data.\n\nclass Dynamic {\nvar value: T {\ndidSet {\n// Inform interested parties\n}\n}\ninit(_ v: T) {\nvalue = v\n}\n}\n\nThis should be straightforward: a class that encapsulates a value of a generic type T. The setting of a value is intercepted by the didSet property observer. What remains is to inform interested parties that a change has occurred. Before we can do that, we need to define what those parties actually are. This requires another round of thinking.\n\nWhat is on the other end of our problem? A view. All kinds of views. Sometimes, it might even be something other than a view, such as another model or an action. It makes sense to think of that side of the problem as a task that needs to be done, whether it is updating a view, changing a model, or performing an action. Tasks can be defined by a closure, and that is how we will define our task. We will call this task closure a \"Listener\" and define it as follows:\n\ntypealias Listener = (T) -> Void\n\nIn other words, a Listener is a closure that accepts a value of generic type T and performs some task with the received value.

For example, government provision of flood insurance encourages more people to move into flood-prone areas, increasing the cost of damage when floods do occur.\n\nThe ecologist point of view, which acknowledges the cultural character of our species and the bottom-up character of the sort of problem-solving in which we frequently engage, was expressed in this way by George Mason University economist Donald Boudreaux last year:\n\nWhen a biologist encounters in a living organism a physical or behavioral trait that is unusual or unfamiliar, and that does not contribute to survival in any way that is immediately obvious to the biologist, the biologist's professional instinct is to think hard about that trait in order to identify its likely genetic benefit to its possessor. That professional instinct is sound. The biologist, upon encountering such an unfamiliar trait in an organism, does not leap to the conclusion that she has encountered an instance of \"nature failure.\" The biologist, of course, recognizes that nature and natural selection are never perfect; sometimes living creatures are indeed saddled with traits that do indeed reduce their genes' chances of survival. But this possibility of \"nature failure\" is not the competent biologist's first go-to explanation whenever she cannot quickly, and within the conclusions of current theory, grasp the reason why natural selection might have created in the organism this unusual or unfamiliar trait.\n\nBoudreaux argues that economists should have a similar respect for evolved economic practices. But instead they tend to leap quickly to the conclusion that their models show \"market failure,\" which can be corrected through policy engineering.\n\nThe economists who have gained power at institutions like the Federal Reserve Board and the International Monetary Fund fall into what Ip would call the engineering camp. Many of these officials, as well as some of the heads of central banks in other countries, were trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They share a common approach to social problems, one which emphasizes the economist's ability to identify and correct \"market failure.\"\n\nAfter starting from nothing during World War II, MIT's economics department came to dominate the profession over the next two decades. The department's distinctive approach involved using small mathematical models of optimization subject to constraints. Because this combination of engineering and economics seemed well-suited to solving problems of wartime resource allocation, MIT was well funded by the Department of Defense. Economic engineering spread rapidly to other universities and grew to dominate the profession.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3677, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "59c072fcec02276fba4c2dd1d59b75b6e154959b", "raw_chars": 3346, "clean_chars": 3326, "edit_ratio": 0.1963, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Social norms regarding sexual fidelity imply that a husband's wife's romantic and sexual life is monitored not only by him, but by the entire community. This dynamic has a psychological impact on the husband, motivating him to invest more in his wife's offspring because they are more likely to be his. On the husband's side, norms that constrain his sexual behavior also inhibit, though they do not prevent, him from diverting resources away from his family in pursuit of extramarital opportunities. A community is now monitoring him, and violations of these norms can affect his relationships well beyond those with his wife and her kin.\n\nHenrich writes that humans underwent a kind of \"self-domestication\" process. We gained control over harmful tendencies, such as violence and low investment in children, by adopting cultural norms like monogamous marriage. Societies that adopted such norms were able to prosper and expand.\n\nThese societies often evolved in this direction by respecting more ordered and productive behavior, thereby making such behavior prestigious. This phenomenon of prestige, Henrich argues, plays an important role in cultural learning in our own time as well. We have evolved to respond to cues about prestige when choosing the models from whom we learn. Across human societies, we see that seeking prestige, often more than wealth itself, drives much human behavior. However, prestige derives from success, skill, or knowledge in locally valued domains. While not infinitely malleable, what constitutes a valued domain is amazingly flexible. The differential success of societies and institutions will hinge, in part, on what domains are valued.\n\nHenrich contrasts prestige with dominance. Dominant individuals influence others through coercion and threat. While this induces lower-status individuals to obey, it does not create bonding and learning. Prestige, on the other hand, influences through persuasion and deferential agreement. When we perceive that someone has high prestige, we want to imitate them and get as close to them as possible.\n\nPrestige is important to us because we depend so much on our cultural intelligence. We need to know from whom to obtain our learning. We instinctively feel that we can thrive by imitating prestigious individuals.\n\nCulture and Policy\n\nEvolutionary anthropology emphasizes the importance of culture. Human intelligence is not embedded in the hardware of the individual brain. It is found in the software that we download from our cultural \"cloud.\" Our knowledge does not come from our individual brilliance. Instead, it comes from our ability to learn from one another and from the past. Progress comes from small experiments and cultural evolution.\n\nThe implications of all this for how we govern ourselves and our societies are enormous. The importance of cultural intelligence implies that we should be skeptical of giving any individual or small group of individuals the responsibility to exert vast power over society. We should be wary of social engineers and instead listen to social ecologists.\n\nIn the case of economics, this suggests that markets are better suited than government to exploiting and expanding cultural intelligence. Henrich writes that an important lesson of cultural intelligence is that, for the greatest economic success,", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3682, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "608e427fcd1e0ab9defd9d5a3236fc1d486ca292", "raw_chars": 1752, "clean_chars": 1843, "edit_ratio": 0.6768, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Tomorrow, the Office of Public Engagement at the White House will host a meeting with transgender activists and leaders working on federal policy regarding transgender issues.

July 1st is expected to be the busiest day of the summer for NBA executives, filled with blockbuster moves, puzzling signings, and general confusion. This summer, virtually every team in the league has sufficient cap room to make a splashy move, and the Washington Wizards are among those teams.\n\nWith the Kevin Durant saga thoroughly exhausted, the Wizards must focus on other free agents, even if they are relatively obscure. Finding a hidden gem in free agency could make the difference between a first-round playoff exit and a trip to the conference finals. Often, the players who make the most impact are those who fly under the radar, unknown to casual fans. Teams with the best scouts, particularly the San Antonio Spurs, always find a way to get ahead on players we have never come across, and that will not change this summer.\n\nAccording to EuroHoops, the Spurs and the Washington Wizards are among six NBA teams interested in Giannis Bourousis. Bourousis was named the MVP of Liga Endesa and was considered the best center in the EuroLeague, which is quite impressive. Like most people, the author had never heard of him before researching him to learn more about this potential savior for the district.\n\nBourousis can obviously space the floor and would likely be considered a stretch five at the next level. He also seems to have solid court vision, which is a significant advantage for big men in the NBA.

At his age and with his limited versatility, it is hard to imagine a situation where a team will pay him a large sum of money. Like other international players who did last year, such as Marcelo Huertas with the Los Angeles Lakers, Bourousis would likely take a non-guaranteed contract, assuming he makes the roster.\n\nIf the Spurs are interested, he must be good.

Because we did kind of dial down the indulgences he did. Carlos got very much into keyboard textures and lost his appreciation for bass guitar, and was way more into layering keyboard sounds and fake symphonic sounds. I’m not saying that was good or bad. It just so happened that he took us in that direction, and then we were able to decide that we didn’t want to go there anymore. People have drawn parallels between the first few records and El Pintor, and I kind of agree. I think the notion that “the band is back” is kind of a compliment. So, I’m pretty happy with how things turned out.\n\nAfter you released the self-titled LP, four years passed until the release of El Pintor. I know that you guys toured extensively for the Interpol album, and also had some solo projects going on. Did you also feel you needed a break?\n\nDefinitely. You always need a break. And we had such a big change too, with Carlos leaving the band. He left when we were mixing the self-titled record, and we really didn’t have time to process that whole thing because we needed to go on the road to promote the record. We didn’t get to do that until well beyond a year after he left. And getting away from everything, doing outside projects and whatnot, just kind of clears the air. And by the time we got back together in the same room, it was easier to just think about the music, and not about how people are perceiving us, and what happened and why. It was all sorted out. The laundry had been done. At that point, there’s nothing left to do but to make some music and write a great record.\n\nDo you guys still keep in touch with Carlos at all, or have any relationship with him at this point?\n\nNo. I haven’t talked to him since he quit the band. I know that he’s been an actor and done some stage stuff. If I saw him on the street, I’d say “hi,” but it’s kind of like a breakup with a partner. I have no ill will, but my life has to keep moving on. And you ultimately move in polar opposite directions.

Think of it as applying many of the principles of SOLID at an architectural level, where, instead of classes, you have services.\n\nConceptually, microservice architecture is not particularly difficult to grasp, but in practice, it raises many questions. How do these services communicate? What about latency between services? How do you test the services? How do you detect and respond to failure? How do you manage deployments when you have a bunch of interdependencies? Let's expand on some of these throughout this post and see if microservice architecture really is worth the effort.\n\nAnatomy of a Microservice\n\nFirst things first: what actually is a microservice? Well, there really isn't a hard and fast definition, but from conversations with various people, there seems to be a consensus that a microservice is a simple application that sits around the 10 to 100 lines of code mark. I realize that line count is an atrocious way to compare implementations, so take what you will from that. But they are small, micro even. This means you're not going to find hundreds of tiny services built on top of large frameworks; it's simply not practical. Simplicity and lightweightness are the order of the day here. Small frameworks like Sinatra, Webbit, Finagle, and Connect do just enough to allow you to wrap your actual code in a thin communication layer.\n\nIn terms of footprint, these services will be small. You're potentially going to run a lot of them on the same machine, so you don't want to be holding on to memory or resources that you aren't intending to use. Once again, simple libraries over large frameworks will win out, and you'll also find less of a reliance on third-party dependencies.\n\nThis decoupling at a service level also offers another interesting option. We've pushed a lot of the old application complexity down to the infrastructure level. We are no longer bound to a single stack or language. We can play to the strengths of any stack or language now. It's entirely possible to have a system built out with a myriad of languages and libraries, though, as we will touch on later, this is a double-edged sword.\n\nYou're also not going to find any true microservice-based architectures that are hosted in an application server; that kind of defeats the point. To this end, microservices self-host; they grab a port and listen. This means you'll lose any benefits your typical enterprise application server may bring, and your service will need to provide some of the more essential ones, such as instrumentation and monitoring.\n\nCommunication\n\nThis is an interesting one. How do your services communicate? There really isn't a single answer for this, even in a single solution.

This team is not a toy for a man who, according to Forbes, is worth $1.5 billion—a fortune that was decades in the making. McNair was the first person in his family to go to college. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs out of high school in 1954 but wound up playing basketball at the University of South Carolina, leaving the team after his freshman season. In 1960, he started a Houston car-leasing company with $700, then later a trucking company. When the latter nearly failed, almost forcing him into bankruptcy in the 1980s, McNair had enough resilience to start Cogen Technologies, which owned power cogeneration plants. It became the largest privately held firm of its kind in the world and, in 1999, was sold to Enron for $1.5 billion. That proved two things about McNair: He had impeccable timing, and he understood that building good things takes time.\n\nMcNair is so calm and cordial that critics wonder whether he, or his team, lacks a killer instinct. But he wants to win. Desperately. He believes that whatever happens with this franchise will help define his life. \"Bob won in business,\" says Texans vice chairman Philip Burguieres, \"and eventually, we're going to win on the football field.\"\n\nMcNair lives a few doors from Bud Adams, who owned the Houston Oilers before moving that team to Tennessee after the 1996 season. On Sundays, McNair would walk to his house to get a ride to the Astrodome, where the Oilers played, and the two would sit in Adams' suite. McNair loved those days. After the Oilers became the Tennessee Titans, McNair says his civic duty prompted him to pursue an NFL team. He couldn't fathom the idea of the country's fourth-largest city being without one.\n\nWhen the league announced in 1999 that it was expanding to 32 teams, McNair led a group that plunked down $700 million for the new franchise and patiently waited for two competing bids from LA to fizzle. Like a prize from a big-game hunt, a framed blue No. 32 jersey with the words LOS ANGELES crossed out is on display in the suite.\n\nThe Texans, now in their 10th season, are the only current NFL team never to make the playoffs. This isn't Green Bay or New England, where a couple of losses launch the fan base into crisis mode. There is a forced patience in Houston; this city knows what it's like to lose its team. But patience is waning. At the end of last season, another mediocre one, many fans were ready for McNair to blow the team up and start over without coach Gary Kubiak. McNair felt the urgency, but the coach kept his job. Two days before the Steelers game, McNair was asked what he'll do if the Texans don't make the playoffs. He barely pauses. \"I don't worry about the playoffs because we're going to make the playoffs,\" he says. \"I don't consider what would happen if we don't.\"\n\nHOW DO YOU SHADOW A ROCK? McNair's emotions over an up-and-down second half are well in check. He stares down at stat sheets, sips his cranberry juice, leans in, leans back.

It erupted on November 14, 1885, and lasted until November 28, 1885. Serbia took the initiative in starting the war but was decisively defeated. Austria demanded that Bulgaria halt its invasion, leading to a truce. Final peace was signed on March 3, 1886, in Bucharest, with the old boundaries remaining unchanged. As a result of the war, European powers acknowledged the act of Bulgarian unification, which had occurred on September 18, 1885.\n\nBackground\n\nOn September 18, 1885, Bulgaria and the semi-autonomous Ottoman province of Eastern Rumelia declared their unification in the city of Plovdiv. Eastern Rumelia, whose population was predominantly ethnic Bulgarian, had been an artificial creation of the Berlin Congress seven years earlier. The unification took place against the will of the Great Powers, including Russia. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had been expanding its influence in the Balkans and was particularly opposed to the move. Bulgaria's western neighbor, Serbia, also feared that this unification would diminish its position in the Balkans. Additionally, Serbia's ruler, Milan I, was annoyed that Serbian pro-Russian opposition leaders, such as Nikola Pašić—who had stirred up the Timok Rebellion—had found asylum in Bulgaria after the rebellion was suppressed by the Serbian Army.\n\nAfter the declaration of unification, massive protests broke out in Greece, fearing the creation of a greater Bulgarian state in the Balkans. The protesters called upon the Greek government to declare war on Bulgaria. Serbia proposed a joint military action against Bulgaria to Greece, but the proposal was rejected.\n\nLured by Austria-Hungary's promises of support and territorial gains from Bulgaria, in return for concessions in the Western Balkans, Milan I declared war on Bulgaria on November 14, 1885. The military strategy relied largely on surprise, as Bulgaria expected an attack from the Ottoman Empire and had moved its troops near the Turkish border to the southeast.\n\nThe pretext for the war was a minor border dispute known as the Bregovo Dispute. The Timok River, which formed part of the border between the two countries, had slightly changed its course over the years. As a result, a Serbian border guardhouse near the village of Bregovo found itself on the Bulgarian bank of the river. After Bulgaria made several requests for the guardhouse to be evacuated, which were denied, Bulgaria expelled the Serbian troops by force.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3732, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bad181998e38027872be56adb51b64a08d521b7d", "raw_chars": 3199, "clean_chars": 3206, "edit_ratio": 0.308, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Scientists Channel Tesla and Einstein to Invent New Double-Glazed Solar Panel\n\nDecember 9, 2017 by Steve Hanley\n\nThis story concerns a laboratory experiment that may offer good news for renewable energy advocates in the future, though it currently has no practical industrial application. Nevertheless, the path to this technological breakthrough in solar panel design is fascinating.\n\nDr. Gavin Bell and Dr. Yorck Ramachers, researchers in the physics department at the University of Warwick in Coventry, England, recognized that conventional photovoltaic solar panel technology has reached a practical limit regarding efficiency improvements and manufacturing cost reductions. Any gains from this point forward are likely to be incremental at best.\n\nConsequently, the pair turned to the research and writings of Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein to see if the work of those pioneers could point the way to a better panel design. Currently, a solar panel relies on a vacuum between the outer surface and the solar cells inside. Bell and Ramachers wondered what would happen if they used a gas, such as argon, to fill that space instead. What they envisioned was essentially a variation of a modern double-glazed window.\n\nIn the prototype the scientists built, the outer pane is transparent and conducts electricity. The inner pane is coated with a special material developed in the lab that releases electrons when illuminated by sunlight. They call that layer a \"photocathode.\" In the presence of sunlight, electrons are kicked loose from the photocathode, travel through the gas, and are collected by the outer pane. Dr. Bell noted, \"It's satisfying to find a new twist on ideas dating back to the start of the 20th century, and as a materials physicist it is fascinating to be looking for materials which would operate in an environment so different to standard photocathodes.\"\n\nBell and Ramachers hope their work will act as a catalyst for further investigation by materials engineers. The optimum composition of the photocathode layer is yet to be determined, although they believe a thin diamond film would be very durable. They also think the photocathode layer could have variable transparency, making it suitable for solar windows. Filling the inside of the panel with an inert gas like argon could also cost less to manufacture than creating a vacuum.\n\n\"We think the materials challenge is really critical here so we wanted to encourage the materials science community to get creative,\" says Bell. \"Our device is radically different from standard photovoltaics, and can even be adapted for other green technologies such as turning heat directly into electricity, so we hope this work will inspire new advances.\"\n\nReaders may be tired of hearing news about potential breakthroughs in the lab that promise better electric car batteries, better solar panels, or better ways to make hydrogen from water. Most of those developments never make it out of the laboratory. There is no information available yet on how much electricity one of these gas-filled double-glazed solar panels can generate, how efficient it might be, or what it might cost.

For example, many of the rankings would likely change if we excluded the grades for penalties, disregarded the pass-blocking grade for wide receivers, or sorted defensive ends solely by their pass-rushing grade. As such, there are probably good arguments to be made for why a given player should be ranked higher or lower, and this is especially true for borderline players who are just short of the next quintile. Overall, however, I believe this is a good approximation of where the team and each individual player stood based on their performance over the entire 2014 regular season.\n\nOverall, I don't think these rankings provide any shocking new insights. But they do provide a template for some of the Cowboys' offseason activities. I would expect the Cowboys to focus on retaining their above-average contributors as far as the salary cap allows. Then it is on to improving their pass rush, addressing some of the holes apparent in the positions that graded out below average, and, above all, figuring out a strategy for their secondary.\n\nTo qualify for the Pro Football Focus rankings, players have to have played at least 25% of their team's snaps on either offense or defense, which means there are a number of Cowboys players who do not show up in any of the tables above. Since there are bound to be questions about these role players, I have included a table below showing which quintiles those players would belong to if they had played in at least 25% of the team's snaps and if their grade had remained as it is.\n\nKeep in mind that the PFF grades are cumulative. If two players were to get the same grade for each game, but one player has 16 games to the other's 6, the player with 16 games will have the higher total grade.\n\nIn the table below, I show the projected position rank for each of those role players.

Ukraine is of vital importance to the global food supply, ranking only behind the United States in global grain production by some estimates.\n\nUkraine's grain has the shortest distance to travel on average before it is shipped to international markets, making it especially critical to meeting short-term global food supply. \"Crimea is extremely important as it is where most of Ukraine's grain is exported by ship from its ports,\" said Kona Haque, head of agricultural commodities research at Macquarie. \"Ukraine is very important and by some counts it is already the second-largest grain exporter.\"\n\nDue to its major ports on the Black Sea, Crimea retains the same kind of strategic importance for world powers that prompted Queen Victoria to dispatch Lord Raglan and the British army to challenge Russia in the region in 1854.

Ukraine is expected by Macquarie to produce around 44.5 million tonnes of grain, mainly corn and wheat, in the growing season that will end in 2015, nearly 16 percent lower than the previous year.

There is a premium attached to Ukrainian grain exports right now, which puts the pressure back on the US,\" said Ms Haque.\n\nAccording to Macquarie, the increase in export prices, together with problems in Ukraine's bank financing of future deals, have weakened foreign appetite for Ukrainian commodities, especially corn. This has also contributed to higher than expected export demand for US-origin corn. Prior to the downfall of Mr Yanukovich, Bloomberg reported that spot corn prices climbed to about $225 (£134) a tonne in Ukraine, about $7 higher per tonne than in the first week of February.\n\nDespite concerns over Ukrainian supply and the security of Crimean ports, grain prices are still expected to fall on an expected surge in US output.

Just two years after that right-wing think tank, heavily funded by the oil lobby, dedicated itself to undermining support for green jobs, they scored the ultimate coup: getting Jon Stewart to repeat their deceptions in an attack on Seattle’s energy efficiency program. It was something of a master stroke for the Right’s communications machine, and it is worth studying for its diabolical effectiveness.\n\nI am related to someone close to Seattle’s program, so I have been biting my tongue since the attacks first flared up in August. But now that The Daily Show has been taken in, it is time to get the facts straight.\n\nHere is what happened. In 2009, then-Mayor Nickels applied for a federal energy efficiency grant as part of Obama’s new stimulus program. That money was awarded to Seattle in 2010, after Mayor McGinn had taken office, to fund a program called Community Power Works. It funds or finances energy retrofits in six building sectors: single-family residences, hospitals, large commercial buildings, city buildings, small businesses, and multifamily buildings. The residential program launched in April 2011 and quickly became a target for right-wing attacks.\n\nJust four months after the residential program began, seattlepi.com reporter Vanessa Ho published a mediocre article with an egregiously inflammatory headline, \"Seattle 'green jobs' program a bust,\" that seemed to entirely misunderstand the program. Ho does good reporting on a range of issues, but this one was a dud. That article sparked a burst of sniping locally and then gave rise to highly distorted coverage on national Fox News, as well as Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing outlets. Then, earlier this week, The Daily Show ran a segment beating up on federal green jobs efforts, including the grant to Seattle. Stewart’s sole source for the bit? Fox News.\n\nNice going, Heritage. Cue the high-fives. I’ll even give you a slow clap.\n\nIt would be one thing if the critiques were accurate, but they’re not. The facts are all a matter of public record, updated online monthly. Leaving aside the other five building sectors in the program—hugely important sectors, I might add—here are the basics about the six-month-old residential program:\n\nAs of yesterday, 486 homeowners had applied to participate. 181 homeowners are in the bidding process, 29 are in the process of receiving energy upgrades or have already completed an upgrade of their home. It typically takes a homeowner two to four months to complete the program.\n\n168 people have logged 20,000 hours of paid work for the program. All the contractors working on energy upgrades are local, including 18 percent that are minority-owned businesses, 18 percent that are veteran-owned businesses, and 10 percent that are woman-owned businesses. All the upgrades are performed by contractors paying living wages.\n\nSo far, Community Power Works has barely touched the federal grant funding, which lasts through June 2013, so it’s reasonable to expect more retrofits to come.\n\nWill all of the program’s original promises come to fruition?

These include energy losses in wires, connections, and inverters; inverter failure and replacement; and accidents that damage equipment, such as rats or possums causing shorts. Other factors include badly aligned panels, which observation suggests must be significant given the prevalence of less-than-ideal rooftop mountings; shading, where even a tiny amount can cut output dramatically; and dust and bird droppings on panels. Additional losses stem from corrosion at terminals and connections, heating of panels (which can cut midday input by more than 25%), poor maintenance by householders, and the deterioration of panel efficiency due to age. Prieto and Hall (2013) list fifteen such factors and estimate that they reduce output to 65% of rated capacity.\n\nPrevious discussions have recognized some of these loss factors and used the term \"performance factor\" to refer to the reduction they cause. For photovoltaic (PV) systems, this factor has typically been estimated at around 0.75 to 0.8. However, Palmer, Crawford, and Prieto and Hall argue that previously assumed models for energy return on investment (EROI) calculation have not included all relevant factors. They suggest that these models used \"boundary\" assumptions that were too narrow, resulting in a performance factor that is too generous.\n\nPower dumping must be accounted for as a different kind of energy loss affecting EROI. For example, a standalone homestead PV system might dump most of the power it produces in summer, yet still not be large enough to meet winter demand reliably, despite having a substantial battery capacity like 800 ampere-hours. Palmer's Figure 3 shows that about 10% of German PV output during a summer period was exported. This was possible because neighboring countries did not have as much PV capacity as Germany and were not experiencing output gluts when Germany wanted to export. If all countries had similar PV levels, Germany would have to dump power in the summer. Australia, lacking neighboring countries with spare capacity, could not export.\n\nThere is another category of \"downstream\" costs and losses attributable to PV and most other renewables that have not previously been subtracted from embodied energy and \"downstream\" accounts. A recent OECD report (2013) discusses the significant costs of \"grid adjustment\" required to accommodate renewables, including the cost of strengthening grids to cope with variations in power coming from different regions. When centralized coal-fired sources provide all power, relatively simple networks can be built, such as those designed to deal with a fairly regular and stable voltage drop from the power station to distant consumers. However, with renewable sources, power might come from one region one day and from another the next. This appears to be a factor additional to those addressed by Prieto and Hall.

It represents the cost of having a sufficient area of photovoltaic (PV) panels to produce 1 kW in peak radiation, assuming 15% efficiency. If that area received peak radiation for 24 hours—meaning 24 kWh/m²/day—it would produce a constant 1 kW. However, in winter, radiation in the Sydney region only totals about 5 kWh/m² (Melbourne or Tasmanian winter radiation is around half this level). Therefore, we would need 24 divided by 5, or 4.8 times as large an area, to produce an average 1 kW in winter. Consequently, the capital cost of sufficient PV panels to produce the equivalent of a constant average 1 kW in winter (ignoring the storage issue) would be around $18,240. Wilson (2011) states the annual average as $20,000, so his winter figure would be considerably higher than $18,240.\n\nThis is a gross output figure, and to it we should add the cost added by all the embodied energy costs and the downstream loss factors referred to above. If Hall and Prieto, and Palmer are right in claiming an energy return (ER) of 2 to 3, these costs and losses add to around half the lifetime energy produced, so would more or less double the above cost figure. It is not possible to make a confident ER assumption, so I will assume an ER two to three times as high, i.e., 6. This would seem to be generous compared with the commonly stated ER of about 8 to 10, which does not take in any of the upstream embodied costs or downstream loss factors discussed above. The capital cost figures then become $21,900 for the capacity to deliver a constant 1 kW in winter. Of course, none of these figures take in the cost of the storage (or backup) to enable the 1 kW to be sent constantly, but that is not relevant to the EDM proposal.\n\nThe Solar Thermal Component\n\nOutput Issues\n\nThe solar thermal capacity is assumed to be 9.4 to 13.3 GW in the two EDM 2 scenarios, contributing 8.3 to 12.5% of power. Again, it is not possible to assess the acceptability of these low percentages for the most costly sector, but they seem to be much too low given the above points made regarding wind and PV. If the wind limit is 20% (not 50%+), the PV limit is 15% (not 20%), biogas 7% (as assumed), and hydro 5% (as assumed, plausibly), then the costly solar thermal sector would have to contribute around 53%, which is 4 to 6 times the amount EDM assumes. Again, this would greatly increase total system capital costs.\n\nFigure 2 in EDM 1, representing combined inputs for each of a number of days, enabled some visual confirmation of capacities needed. The ability to see these combinations is crucial in assessing the plausibility of such proposals, but this is not possible with the second and third papers. Thus, we cannot check whether the following apparent problem evident in that figure has been resolved. It is stated in the paper that 15.6 GW of solar thermal capacity would be needed, but Figure 2 seems to show that at times the solar thermal component will be sending out perhaps 27 GW. There would be much worse days than the one represented in Figure 2, suggesting that on those days the amount would be greater still.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3756, "chunk_idx": 12, "raw_sha1": "05aaa427a91b00674d94c64b11ec1f19ea55750f", "raw_chars": 2833, "clean_chars": 2984, "edit_ratio": 0.2463, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Capital Cost Estimation\n\nThe following is an imprecise derivation of a figure for the capital cost of sufficient plant to deliver a net 1 kW at a distance during winter. It is based on information from the NREL (2010, 2011) Solar Advisory Model for a theoretical 100 MW central receiver plant. This model is located at Blythe, Riverside County, Southern California, USA. The estimate assumes six hours of storage and air cooling, and includes interest charges. The cost estimate is $658 million, which equates to $6,580 per kW of peak capacity. However, NREL notes that this figure is set lower than actual present construction costs (Turchi, 2014). The average annual rate at which power would be sent out is estimated at 40% of peak capacity, and the winter rate is 28% of peak. This indicates that the capital cost for the capacity to send out each 1 kW on average would be $16,250, and to do so in winter, it would be $23,214.\n\nA number of considerations would greatly increase this figure.\n\nFirst, there is an energy loss of 10–15% for long-distance transmission, such as from the Sahara to Northern Europe, or from distant ideal sites in Australia. Second, the capacity to collect and store energy for 15 hours might multiply the cost of the NREL example by a factor of 1.5 or more. Third, the embodied energy cost of the plant might take up 10% of the energy produced. Fourth, there is the increased cost of construction in remote areas. The best situation for solar thermal plant is in desert areas, especially North Africa for European supply. According to Lovegrove et al. (2012), this might multiply total costs by a factor of 1.3 or more.\n\nTaking these factors into account, assuming 10% for transmission loss and a factor of only 1.5 for the storage and management item, would multiply the above figure by 2.4 to $55,900 per kW. This figure does not include the energy costs of plant operation and maintenance. Nor does it take into account the dollar or embodied energy costs of building, operating, and maintaining the long-distance transmission lines, but these might best be kept separate, as EDM suggests.\n\nThis cost figure is likely to appear extreme and mistaken. It is not put forward here with great confidence, but the above discussion makes the derivation clear, along with the assumptions that would need to be revised if a significantly lower figure is to be established.\n\nThe cost of locally sited coal-fired plant capable of delivering 1 kW in mid-winter, and requiring no long-distance transmission lines, assuming a 0.8 capacity factor, would be approximately $3,700 (AETA, 2012). Adding fuel costs might bring the total to $5.7 billion, which is around one-tenth of the above solar thermal cost. This does not include an embodied energy cost for coal-fired plant, but this would be relatively low as the 50-year life assumed by AETA makes the energy return for coal-fired power generators high. Gas-fuelled costs would be significantly lower.\n\nGemasolar", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3757, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "355b54d30725519bef162712cc9c8f221bc82484", "raw_chars": 2730, "clean_chars": 2747, "edit_ratio": 0.7988, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "SSH-audit is a standalone, open-source tool designed for auditing and fixing SSH server configurations. It has no external dependencies and can run on any system where Python is available. The tool supports OpenSSH, Dropbear SSH, and libssh, providing detailed reports on every aspect of the tested SSH server, including specific algorithms and security-related information.\n\nAccording to SSH-audit creator Andris Raugulis, the tool evaluates each algorithm by stating its security level (warning or failure), explaining the reasoning behind that assessment, and providing historical context regarding the algorithm's availability. The security section displays assigned CVEs and other relevant details for recognized software and specific versions. Based on the recognized version, the tool recommends the removal or addition of specific algorithms.\n\nThe idea for SSH-audit emerged from the frustration of trying to maintain secure OpenSSH settings. Raugulis explains that choosing the best security settings requires carefully reading release notes and acting accordingly, but configurations change from version to version. Hardening deployments where upgrades are not possible, such as on embedded devices, or identifying flaws in a server configuration for security audits often requires re-reading old release notes. Furthermore, release notes and manual information do not always reflect the actual situation.\n\nKeeping up with these changes and discrepancies required significant effort. Vulnerability scanners like Nessus offered little relief because their SSH checks were relatively superficial and lacked the specific features Raugulis needed. Consequently, he decided to create his own standalone tool.\n\nRaugulis notes that while working on the project is not technically difficult, it is time-consuming. He wants to ensure the accuracy of every addition, which involves extensive learning about OpenSSH, Dropbear SSH, and libssh releases, as well as compiling, testing, and checking for security issues, many of which do not have assigned CVEs.\n\nHis short-term plans include adding security information related to OpenSSH and improving key fingerprinting. Currently, the tool can fingerprint SSH1 server keys but lacks support for SSH2 servers because it requires a successful key exchange. The base code for this feature is already in the repository but is not yet complete.\n\nNext, Raugulis will add support for checking SSH client configurations and introduce the option to choose a new output type, such as JSON or XML.

These efforts were abandoned when oil prices collapsed to $20 a barrel.\n\nIn addition, although climatic conditions may be daunting in the region, the Alaskan waters where Shell wants to drill are very shallow, just some 150 feet, compared to the 5,000-foot depths in the Gulf of Mexico. This makes operations there much simpler and therefore cheaper.\n\nNot without reason did Ann Pickard state in Shell's 2013 Sustainability Report: \"We believe that Alaska's Chukchi and Beaufort Seas are the most promising undeveloped hydrocarbon basins in the United States.\"\n\nNext 75 Years\n\nIt is clear, then, that for Shell the Arctic is not just any other project. Its Arctic campaign lies at the heart of the company's long-term strategy. Successful development of the region may be another 10 to 15 years away, but as Pete Slaiby, Shell's Vice-President for Alaska, says in the Fortune article: \"Shell is going to be here for the next 50 to 75 years.\"\n\nWhat is interesting is that this implies that Shell's decisions in the Arctic will demonstrate, like no other activity, the business model the company is committed to.

Time and again in Shell's Sustainability Reports, the company's executives stress that it's not Shell that is taking the lead in exploiting the Arctic. It's the Arctic nations themselves that do so. \"The nations of the Arctic have taken the decision to open up the region for offshore development and trust companies such as Shell to do it responsibly,\" says Pickard in the 2013 Sustainability Report.

Germany suffered a shortage of fats during World War II, and the production of soap was put under government control. The \"human soap\" rumours may have originated from the bars of soap being marked with the initials RIF, which was interpreted by some as Reichs-Juden-Fett (\"State Jewish Fat\"); in German Blackletter font the difference between I and J is only in length. RIF in fact stood for Reichsstelle für industrielle Fettversorgung (\"National Center for Industrial Fat Provisioning\", the German government agency responsible for wartime production and distribution of soap and washing products). RIF soap was a poor quality substitute product that contained no fat at all, human or otherwise.\n\nRumors about the origins and meaning of \"RIF\" soap extended into the concentration camps themselves. Naphtali Karchmer, in his book Solitary in the Overwhelming Turbulence: Five Years as Prisoner-of-War in East Prussia, describes his years in captivity as a Jewish-Polish POW. The author writes about gray, rectangular, low-quality pieces of soap he and other POWs received with the letters \"RIF\" inscribed on a center depression. When one of the POWs complained about the low-foam, smooth soap, the lady of the household answered it was made of \"Rein Juden Fett\" (pure Jewish fat), when asked \"out of human fat?\", she answered \"No, just Jews\". A version of the story is included in The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewry, one of the earliest collections of firsthand accounts of the Holocaust, assembled by Soviet writers Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman. The specific story is part of a report titled \"The Extermination of the Jews of Lvov\" attributed to I. Herts and Naftali Nakht:\n\nIn another section of the Belzec camp was an enormous soap factory. The Germans picked out the fattest Jews, murdered them, and boiled them down for soap. Artur [Izrailevich] Rozenshtraukh—a bank clerk from Lvov, in whose words we relate this testimony—held this \"Jewish soap\" in his own hands. The Gestapo thugs never denied the existence of a \"production process\" of this kind. Whenever they wanted to intimidate a Jew, they would say to him, \"We'll make soap out of you.\"\n\nRaul Hilberg reports such stories as circulating in Lublin as early as October 1942. The Germans themselves were aware of the stories, as SS-chief Heinrich Himmler had received a letter describing the Polish belief that Jews were being \"boiled into soap\" and which indicated that the Poles feared they would suffer a similar fate. Indeed, the rumours circulated so widely that some segments of the Polish population actually boycotted the purchase of soap.\n\nJoachim Neander, in a German paper presented at the 28th conference of the German Studies Association, cites the following comment by Himmler from a letter of November 20, 1942 to the head of the Gestapo, Heinrich Müller. Himmler had written to Müller due to an exposé by Rabbi Dr. Stephen Wise, which mentioned the soap rumor and had been printed in The New York Times:\n\nYou have guaranteed me that at every site the corpses of these deceased Jews are either burned or buried, and that at no site anything else can happen with the corpses.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3779, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "f2117c8be1e709d4392b62ba4301e3b552ffe5fa", "raw_chars": 3449, "clean_chars": 3299, "edit_ratio": 0.0827, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In his book Russia at War 1941 to 1945, Alexander Werth reported that while visiting Gdańsk (Danzig) in 1945 shortly after its conquest by the Red Army, he saw an experimental factory outside the city for making soap from human corpses. According to Werth, it had been run by \"a German professor called Spanner\" and \"was a nightmarish sight, with its vats full of human heads and torsos pickled in some liquid, and its pails full of a flakey substance—human soap\".\n\nIn the Independent State of Croatia, a World War II puppet state of Nazi Germany and Italy established in part of Axis-occupied Yugoslavia, a small factory for converting human remains into soap was also established by members of the Ustasha movement at the Jasenovac concentration camp. Parts of the \"soap factory\" still exist and can be seen in the memorial zone \"Donja Gradina\".\n\nThe idea that \"human soap\" was manufactured on an industrial scale by the Nazis was first published after the war in 1946 by Zofia Nałkowska in her seminal work Medallions. It was not refuted for dozens of years in Polish official historiography.\n\nAlain Resnais, who treated the testimony of Holocaust survivors as fact, continued the accusation in his noted 1955 Holocaust documentary film Nuit et brouillard. Some postwar Israelis, in the army, schools, and other institutions, also referred disdainfully to Jewish victims of Nazism who arrived in Israel with the Hebrew word sabon (\"soap\"). In fact, this offensive word was not linked to the rumors about Nazi crimes and human soap, but had the sense of \"soft\" or \"weaklings\".\n\nThough evidence does exist of small-scale soap production, possibly experimental, in the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig/Gdańsk, mainstream scholars of the Holocaust consider the idea that the Nazis manufactured soap on an industrial scale to be part of World War II folklore. Historian Israel Gutman has stated that \"it was never done on a mass scale\". In Hitler's Death Camps: The Sanity of Madness, Konnilyn Feig concludes that the Nazis \"did indeed use human fat for the making of soap at Stutthof\", albeit in limited quantity. Holocaust historian Robert Melvin Spector writes that \"her analysis seems sound, given the known fact that the S.S. used everything it could obtain from its prisoners\", including hair, skin, and bones.\n\nIn 2006, a sample of the soap archived at the International Court of Justice in The Hague was given for analysis to Andrzej Stołyhwo, an expert in the chemistry of fats from the Gdańsk University of Technology in Poland. He concluded that some of the fat in the sample tested was of human origin. The sample of soap had previously been used as evidence in the post-World War II Nuremberg trials, but at the time the technology was unavailable to determine whether the soap had been produced from human fat. The human remains used to make the soap were believed to have been brought from Bydgoszcz and Stutthof concentration camps.\n\nToday, Holocaust deniers employ this controversy to criticize the veracity of the Nazi genocide.\n\nIn the wake of the Second World War, Rabbi David Polish wrote a poem speaking of the Jewish soap:\n\nAnd on that day it will be,\nand one to one they shall gather in the valley of the bones:\nHuman ashes from the furnaces, human vapor from Auschwitz,", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3780, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "96b27518df884b0c9e2fb1697ef6bfd531fbff18", "raw_chars": 3313, "clean_chars": 3075, "edit_ratio": 0.1531, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The head teacher at the academy where Nell, Fiona, and Elizabeth attend instructs Nell to find her own path.

The protagonist's name points directly to Little Nell from Dickens' 1840 novel The Old Curiosity Shop.\n\nJudge Dee mysteries\n\nThe novel's character Judge Fang is based on a creative extension of Robert van Gulik's Judge Dee mystery series, which is based around a Confucian judge in ancient China who usually solves three cases simultaneously. The Judge Dee stories are based on the tradition of Chinese mysteries, transposing key elements into Western detective fiction.\n\nCyberpunk\n\nNell's father, Bud, is presented as an archetypal cyberpunk character. He is a career criminal (though not a particularly skilled or high-ranking one) with various surgically implanted devices to aid him in his work. Stephenson attempts to establish The Diamond Age as a postcyberpunk book by killing this character early on, while acknowledging the influence of the cyberpunk genre.\n\nThe Wizard of Oz\n\nWhen Nell enters the castle of King Coyote in the Primer's final challenge for her, she encounters an enormous computer apparently designed to think and placed in charge of the kingdom. The computer is named Wizard 0.2, a typographical allusion to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In that book, the Wizard puts on a grand appearance but is later revealed to be merely a man hiding behind a curtain. In similar fashion, Wizard 0.2 creates an impressive light show as it apparently processes data, but it is then revealed that the computer's decisions are in fact made by King Coyote himself.\n\nSnow Crash\n\nThe Diamond Age can be seen as a sequel to Snow Crash, set many years later. This reading is based on a connection between Y.T., a major character in Snow Crash, and the aged neo-Victorian Miss Matheson in The Diamond Age, who drops oblique references to her past as a hard-edged skateboarder. This would set The Diamond Age some 80 to 100 years after Snow Crash.\n\nFurther supporting evidence to connect these two novels includes Stephenson's short story The Great Simoleon Caper, which refers to both the Metaverse seen in Snow Crash and the First Distributed Republic seen in The Diamond Age.

While I am always involved, read, and approve every piece, the actual writing is often done by my colleagues Mindy and Shay. Sometimes I write the blog and Mindy edits it; other times Shay writes it, I tweak it, and Mindy posts it. Occasionally, I narrate the blog over the phone while driving around looking for vegan cheese while the girls write it. It is always my voice, and I am always involved and ALWAYS read and approve.\n\nThis arrangement started late in the last season of The Bachelor. I was finishing our house, dealing with a new baby, filming two shows, running the website, attending appearances, and traveling. I was exhausted. I would try so hard to stay awake for the show but kept falling asleep. I couldn't even watch my own damn show! Mindy would call me the next day to get my recap, and I would just tell her, \"I can't. I can't do it. I fell asleep! Every time I put any kind of TV on, I fall asleep!\" She would say, \"It's okay, I watched it, I will write it,\" and her recaps were good. By the time The Bachelorette started, it was summer, we were in our new house, and the last place I wanted to be was in front of the TV. We didn't really know what we were doing, but Mindy knew my voice, knew everything about my opinions on the show, and was quick to pick her favorite hunks for the season, even if they turned out to be a bit wishy-washy. She was in love with Dean for the longest time. Jokes on her! She also saved me time with Leo, allowing me to shower and get more than four hours of sleep.

Morrow told Guillory that he was on his way to get dental work done at a Houston mall.

The Indian Ocean nation is under renewed pressure to address allegations that its troops killed thousands of civilians and committed war crimes in the final stages of a quarter-century conflict with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) guerrillas.\n\nSri Lanka has repeatedly dismissed the allegations as baseless and driven by LTTE supporters. It has also rejected the findings of a panel appointed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, calling them biased and a threat to post-war reconciliation efforts.\n\nBlake, who was ending a two-day visit to Sri Lanka, stated that Washington wanted Sri Lanka's own institutions to handle the allegations raised in the report. \"We look first to host governments, in this case the government of Sri Lanka, to take responsibility for these issues, and we hope they do so,\" Blake said. He served as Washington's envoy to Colombo from 2006 through the end of the war. \"International mechanisms can become appropriate in cases where states are either unable or unwilling to meet their obligations,\" he added during the news conference.\n\nPresident Mahinda Rajapaksa's government has been furious with Washington's pressure regarding the alleged rights violations in Sri Lanka's battle against a group the United States has listed as a foreign terrorist organization since 1997.

In a 1958 interview, he noted that the passion for power is one of the most compelling forces in human nature. He argued that all democracies are founded on the premise that power is dangerous and that it is crucial to prevent any single individual or small group from holding too much power for too long. Constitutions, such as those of Britain and America, are essentially devices designed to limit power. Huxley observed that new technologies like television and radio are extremely efficient instruments for the imposition of power by small groups over larger masses.\n\nHuxley also examined why humans live largely in the realm of concepts rather than direct experience. He explained that when we see a rose, we immediately label it as a \"rose\" rather than describing the actual experience of seeing a roundish mass of delicately shaded reds and pinks. We naturally move from actual experience to concept because immediate experience is so chaotic and immensely rich that, for self-preservation, we must use language to sort out what is useful and important in any given context. Language allows us to make generalizations and reach higher degrees of abstraction, which helps us comprehend our actions. While language is an immense boon that we cannot do without, it also has its limitations and traps.\n\nRegarding the man who returns from a mystical experience, Huxley wrote in The Doors of Perception that such a person will never be quite the same as when they left. They will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, and humbler in acknowledging their ignorance, yet better equipped to understand the relationship between words and things, and between systematic reasoning and the unfathomable mystery it tries, often in vain, to comprehend.\n\nHuxley also discussed how language prevents many people from experiencing the world directly. He pointed out that we often mistake the pointing finger—the word—for the thing it points to. In reality, words are simply signs of things, but many people treat things as illustrations of verbal categories, which is a fatal error. We cannot do without words, as life is a process of walking a tightrope. If we do not fall one way, we fall the other, and each outcome is equally bad. We cannot live without language, but if we take it too seriously, we are in an extremely bad way. We must navigate this knife-edge, being aware of the dangers and doing our best to avoid them.\n\nFinally, Huxley touched on the indispensability of science in modern civilizations.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3804, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "a78b0fe88e4321acccbedb75a13d552b4e5bdf9d", "raw_chars": 2924, "clean_chars": 3012, "edit_ratio": 0.6725, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Modern pharmacology has introduced a host of new synthetic substances, yet in the realm of naturally occurring mind-altering agents, it has made no radical discoveries. All the botanical sedatives, stimulants, vision-revealing compounds, happiness promoters, and cosmic-consciousness arousers were identified thousands of years ago, long before the dawn of recorded history. In many societies across various levels of civilization, attempts have been made to fuse drug-induced intoxication with divine intoxication. In ancient Greece, for instance, ethyl alcohol held a significant place within established religious practices. Dionysus, often referred to as Bacchus, was revered as a true divinity. His worshipers addressed him as Lusios, meaning \"Liberator,\" or as Theoinos, meaning \"Godwine.\" The latter name elegantly telescopes fermented grape juice and the supernatural into a single pentecostal experience. Unfortunately, these practices also bring harm.

Well, I raise it. But who raises it? Who is the 'I' who raises my hand? Certainly, it is not exclusively the 'I' who is standing here talking, the 'I' who signs checks and has a history behind him, because I do not have the faintest idea how my hand was raised. All I know is that I expressed a wish for my hand to be raised, whereupon something within myself set to work, pulled the switches of a most elaborate nervous system, and made thirty or forty muscles—some of which contract and some of which relax at the same instant—function in perfect harmony to produce this extremely simple gesture. And of course, when we ask ourselves how my heart beats, how we breathe, or how I digest my food, we do not have the faintest idea. We as personalities—as what we like to think of ourselves as being—are in fact only a very small part of an immense manifestation of activity, both physical and mental, of which we are simply not aware. We have some control over this inasmuch as some actions being voluntary, we can say, 'I want this to happen,' and somebody else does the work for us. But meanwhile, many actions go on without our having the slightest consciousness of them, and these vegetative actions can be grossly interfered with by our undesirable thoughts, our fears, our greeds, our angers, and so on. The question then arises: How are we related to this?

Draper Laboratories received funding this week from NIAC, NASA’s innovative concepts fund, for a two-phase space probe—technology that could both survey a planet and send instruments to its surface.\n\nWhere might such a probe go first? Its designers, led by Streetman, think it might be a good way to explore the only orb in the solar system believed to have liquid water: Jupiter’s moon, Europa.\n\nIn its first stage, a small satellite about as large as a half-gallon of milk would orbit the moon. Using two highly accurate accelerometers, it could sense small changes in Europa’s gravitational field, eventually mapping the gravity of the entire surface. These detailed gravity maps could then suggest the location of watery oceans below the planet’s surface—or the openings to these oceans.\n\nOnce an ocean (or the entryway to one) was found, the probe would begin its second stage. The small satellite would release even smaller instruments over the interesting region. These “chipsats,” each no larger than a fingernail, could enter Europa’s thin atmosphere unharmed and float down to the surface.\n\n“When there is an atmosphere, they flutter down like little pieces of paper, not like a rock,” said John West, leader of the advanced concepts team at Draper. He added that while they expect to lose some of the smaller “chipsats,” enough would be released that useful science could be performed.\n\nOnce deployed, the tiny chipsats would then send their measurements back to their orbiting mothership, which would in turn beam them back to Earth.\n\nBoth of the mission’s vehicles were pioneered in near-Earth orbit. The gravity-mapping satellite draws on cubesat technology, a set of tools and common plans that let satellites be cheaply produced. Last November, a team of high schoolers put a cubesat in orbit. The even smaller “chipsats” were first deployed as part of the space shuttle Endeavour’s final mission in 2011, in partnership with researchers at Cornell University. Cornell is also consulting on the project.\n\nEuropa was last studied at close proximity by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft. Over a decade ago, Galileo orbited Jupiter before the probe's human overlords sent it careening into the gas giant’s atmosphere, in part to keep from contaminating Europa’s surface.\n\nWe want to hear what you think about this article.

Coredini emphasized that ENDA is about ensuring fairness and equality, both of which are undermined by an exemption that results in second-class protections for LGBT people.\n\nEquality Maryland's Executive Director, Carrie Evans, stated that the organization has not taken a position on the current version of ENDA but will share its stance when it is made.\n\nDana Beyer, Executive Director of Gender Rights Maryland, supported the current ENDA and welcomed efforts to revise and narrow the exemptions. She expressed hope that these efforts would increase the likelihood of the House passing the bill that had already passed the Senate. Beyer noted that while an ideal world would have the same religious exemptions as Title VII, \"it's, unfortunately, no longer 1964.\"\n\nEmily Dievendorf, Executive Director of Equality Michigan, indicated that the organization was conducting due diligence and would issue an official response. She emphasized the importance of the issue and the organization's commitment to fighting for similar and broader protections statewide in Michigan.\n\nOutFront Minnesota supported the proposed federal ENDA but opposed any exemptions that would give LGBT people less protection than other protected groups already enjoy under federal civil rights law. Director Jean Heyer noted that Minnesota passed an LGBT-inclusive human rights act in 1993, which has worked effectively to protect LGBT people. She warned that new and broader religious exemptions to LGBT nondiscrimination laws would be a step backward.\n\nEquality Missouri did not provide a statement.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3827, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "232b18457bf94d055c0af4bb7a0ecd07e4cddb68", "raw_chars": 3469, "clean_chars": 3557, "edit_ratio": 0.7845, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A new report from the Center for Public Integrity indicates that 96% of journalists and reporters who donated during this election cycle gave their contributions to Hillary Clinton. The text also raises concerns about election integrity, suggesting that efforts to manipulate polling places are possible in cities where corruption and voter fraud are prevalent.\n\nCiting Pew Research, the report highlights significant issues with voter registration data. Approximately 24 million voter registrations in the United States—roughly one in eight—are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate. More than 1.8 million deceased individuals remain listed as active voters, and approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.\n\nThe text further addresses the issue of non-citizens voting, referencing a 2014 Washington Post article titled \"Could Non-Citizens Decide the November Election?\" According to excerpts from that report, more than 14% of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 survey samples indicated they were registered to vote. Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats—with Barack Obama winning more than 80% of their votes in the 2008 sample—the report suggests this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in several close elections. Specifically, non-citizen votes may have provided Senate Democrats with the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters and pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress. The report also notes it is possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina, where he won by 14,177 votes; a turnout of just 5.1% of North Carolina’s adult non-citizens would have provided that margin.\n\nThe author argues that the political system is further skewed by donors who have contributed hundreds of millions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The text claims that Clinton’s support for trade agreements like NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as well as her advocacy for open borders, stems from control by international donors. The author warns that allowing the \"Clinton Cartel\" to run the government would result in America losing its independence, with history recording 2017 as the year that occurred.\n\nStating that this outcome will not be allowed, the author calls for draining the swamp in Washington, D.C., and proposes a package of ethics reforms to restore honesty to the government. The text notes that when Bill Clinton took office, he signed an executive order banning White House and federal agency employees from lobbying the government for five years after leaving service. However, the author claims President Clinton later lifted this order, allowing him and his associates, such as John Podesta, to profit from lobbying.\n\nIn response, the author announces four specific proposals. First, they intend to reinstate a five-year ban on lobbying by executive branch officials after they leave government service and ask Congress to codify this ban into law so it cannot be overturned by executive order. Second, they will ask Congress to implement a similar five-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staff. Third, they plan to expand the legal definition of a lobbyist to close loopholes that allow former officials to operate as consultants or advisors while effectively functioning as lobbyists. Fourth, they will issue a lifetime ban preventing senior executive branch officials from lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3841, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "3525cf22c0dd0af44ef40367e2baa82fcc391fce", "raw_chars": 1763, "clean_chars": 2072, "edit_ratio": 0.6099, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This release fixes many security issues, and users should upgrade as soon as possible.\n\nNew features include the installation of OnionShare, a tool for anonymous file sharing, and the enabling of the circuit view in Tor Browser.\n\nSeveral upgrades and changes have been implemented.

In a special plebiscite, residents are being asked to approve an increase in the provincial sales tax of half a percentage point to pay for improvements to the regional transportation system. Recent polls suggest they will say no when the mail-in ballots are tallied at the end of May. But even if they do, Vancouver is way out ahead of Toronto, whose provincial and municipal leaders have failed even to pose such a challenging question.\n\nThe two cities find themselves in a similar fix. Both have been experiencing robust growth fed by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of immigrants. Both have failed to make the necessary investments in transportation networks to help people get around. As a result, both suffer from congestion that makes commuting a misery and threatens to choke their economies.\n\nThe cost of making up for years of delays and inaction is staggering in both places. Metrolinx, an Ontario-government agency, says it will take $2-billion a year for 25 years to beef up the transportation system in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Vancouver's council of regional mayors estimates that governments need to spend $750-million a year for 10 years to upgrade roads and bridges and add more bus, rail and commuter-ferry service.\n\nThe question, as always, is how to pay for it all. For a time, it looked as if Toronto-area politicians were getting ready to bite the bullet and impose special taxes that would create a stream of revenue for transportation needs. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, in particular, raised hopes among transit advocates when she talked about new revenue tools for these purposes.\n\nBut when Metrolinx produced an exhaustive study recommending a 5-cents-a-litre gasoline tax and one-percentage-point increase in the sales tax, Ms. Wynne, facing a probable election, balked. She balked again when a second group, led by public-policy guru Anne Golden and appointed by her government to take another look at transit taxes, recommended gas taxes, among other options.\n\nThat threw a wet blanket over the revenue-tools debate. When Toronto's municipal election began last year, none of the leading candidates embraced the idea, not even John Tory, who had once urged politicians to level with voters about the need to raise new money for transit. His SmartTrack plan for \"surface subways\" would rely on rising property values, not taxes on the general public, for its financing.\n\nVancouver's leaders have been bolder. Regional mayors have been working as a team on this issue, something Toronto-area mayors have never managed.\n\nPutting the idea of a transit tax to the voters was not their idea. Premier Christy Clark, perhaps recalling the public revolt over a harmonized sales tax a few years ago, insisted on putting any new revenue tool to a vote.\n\nBut now that the campaign is under way, many of those mayors have been throwing themselves into the task of persuading the public to vote Yes. As the start of balloting approached, they buttonholed commuters at transit stops and held telephone town halls to make their pitch. They argue that at a cost of about $125 per family per year, they can start buying the buses, building the bridges and laying out the rail track needed to handle the region's growth. Backing them up is a broad coalition of business groups, union leaders and public officials.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3849, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "01d0cf75e71bef935f0b7332c0e487f7c23b6758", "raw_chars": 2821, "clean_chars": 2821, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At first, Renova simply wanted to help keep the park open, which costs about $800,000 a year. But they soon learned that Fort Ross needed more than that. Despite its devoted membership, Miller says, the Fort Ross Conservancy was struggling to build support and name recognition for the isolated site. The park’s small museum and visitors’ center needs to be updated, and some of the historic buildings are badly in need of repair. And because it is too expensive to staff the park every day, Fort Ross is currently open only on weekends and holidays and on Fridays during the summer.\n\n“We are trying to create a master plan, if you will, and working with state parks and [the conservancy] to create a sustainable future for the park,” Miller says. “We feel it is very important to bring Fort Ross to a higher level.”\n\nThat has not been easy, Miller admits. Coming from the corporate world, she and other Renova officials expected to see results quickly. But California’s government does not work that way, and in the U.S. any change to a historic site requires layers of approvals and impact studies.\n\n“It’s a very bureaucratic system—even more bureaucratic than anything I’ve seen in Russia,” Miller says.\n\nLinda Rath, the superintendent of the California State Parks sector that includes Fort Ross, acknowledges the clash of cultures.\n\n“It’s frustrating for them,” she says, of Renova. “It’s a great opportunity, but it’s hard to explain why it takes so long to get projects even started.”\n\nAs its budget has been whittled away, the parks department has postponed more than $8 million in necessary renovations at Fort Ross over the past decade, Rath says. The arrangement with Renova will allow some of that work to happen soon.\n\nThough some Californians may be uneasy about Renova’s involvement, worrying that it means Fort Ross will become a commercial enterprise, Rath says that the conglomerate is not taking over the park.\n\n“State Parks are still managing the parks,” she says. “We’re very careful with the branding. We’re not plastering banners all over the place. We’re not putting a billboard up.”\n\nFort Ross will retain its character, asserts Sarah Sweedler, the conservancy’s director.\n\n“It’s not an East Coast historical theme park,” she says. “It’s more community oriented and it’s a reflection of the community.”\n\nWith the future more secure than it was just a few years ago, Fort Ross enthusiasts are looking forward to July’s anniversary celebration.\n\nOn a recent weekend, Robin Joy, the park’s chief interpretive specialist, watches a group of folk dancers with pleasure.

The 41-year-old oversees the energy market for the Dutch bank ING, and it is his job to determine whether his employer should finance projects such as a wind farm in Cyprus or a gas-fired power plant in Turkey. Until now, it was always other people's money that was involved.\n\nFor some time, however, Scheepens has been experiencing what a poor investment feels like on a personal level. Six years ago, the father of three bought half of a duplex for his family in the commuter town of Nieuw-Vennep, near the North Sea coast. The red brick building cost €430,000 ($552,000), but the bank generously offered him a loan of €500,000, leaving enough money left over for renovations, along with notary and community fees. Scheepens had intended to resell the house after a few years, as is common in the Netherlands. But then prices tumbled following the Lehman bankruptcy. If the family were to sell the house today, it would have to pay the lender €60,000. His house is \"underwater,\" as Scheepens says.\n\n\"Underwater\" is a good description of the crisis in a country where large parts of the territory are below sea level. Ironically, the Netherlands, widely viewed as a model economy, is facing the kind of real estate crisis that has only affected the United States and Spain until now. Banks in the Netherlands have also pumped billions upon billions in loans into the private and commercial real estate market since the 1990s, without ensuring that borrowers had sufficient collateral.\n\nPrivate homebuyers, for example, could easily find banks to finance more than 100 percent of a property's price. \"You could readily obtain a loan for five times your annual salary,\" says Scheepens, \"and all that without a cent of equity.\" This was only possible because property owners were able to fully deduct mortgage interest from their taxes.\n\nInstead of paying off the loans, borrowers normally put some of the money into an investment fund, month after month, hoping for a profit. The money was to be used eventually to pay off the loan, at least in part. But it quickly became customary to expect the value of a given property to increase substantially. Many Dutch savers expected that the resale of their homes would generate enough money to pay off the loans, along with a healthy profit.\n\nAn Economy on the Brink\n\nMore than a decade ago, the Dutch central bank recognized the dangers of this euphoria, but its warnings went unheeded. Only last year did the new government, under conservative-liberal Prime Minister Mark Rutte, amend the generous tax loopholes, which gradually began to expire in January. But now it is almost too late. No nation in the euro zone is as deeply in debt as the Netherlands, where banks have a total of about €650 billion in mortgage loans on their books.\n\nConsumer debt amounts to about 250 percent of available income. By comparison, in 2011 even the Spaniards only reached a debt ratio of 125 percent.\n\nThe Netherlands is still one of the most competitive countries in the European Union, but now that the real estate bubble has burst, it threatens to take down the entire economy with it. Unemployment is on the rise, consumption is down and growth has come to a standstill. Despite tough austerity measures, this year the government in The Hague will violate the EU deficit criterion, which forbids new borrowing of more than 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3896, "chunk_idx": 8, "raw_sha1": "ebbd7198a4c709342a24a2e4a71c40c38e58ffa4", "raw_chars": 2014, "clean_chars": 2014, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Anders Frejdh: Due to the fact that Daniel Craig is a great actor I’d rather not.

He explained that he was asked by White House officials to elaborate on an op-ed he had written for the Wall Street Journal, though he did not disclose whether the administration had provided a response.\n\nPrince argued that after fighting the United States for over 15 years, the Taliban are now at their peak strength. He claimed that America's conventional army is losing to insurgents equipped with pickup trucks and flip-flops. In March, Prince proposed that Kabul hire a private air force to support local army operations against the Taliban. According to the Military Times, his plan included providing high-speed response capabilities and close-air support. The private air force would utilize fixed-wing planes, attack helicopters, and drones flown by hired pilots, but weapons release decisions would remain with Afghan forces.\n\nDuring the interview, some callers criticized Prince for pitching mercenaries to fight the war in Afghanistan. One caller stated, \"I don't want to send my money to Mr. Prince or anyone like him.\"\n\nBlackwater gained notoriety in September 2007 when its operatives killed 17 Iraqi civilians, including a nine-year-old boy, in Baghdad's Nisour Square. In 2010, the firm reached an agreement with the State Department to pay $42 million in fines for hundreds of violations of U.S. export control regulations. These violations included illegal weapons exports to Afghanistan, unauthorized proposals to train troops in South Sudan, and providing sniper training for Taiwanese police officers, as reported by the New York Times. The company has since rebranded as Academi, while Prince established Frontier Services Group in Hong Kong.\n\nThe U.S.-backed government currently controls approximately 60 percent of Afghanistan, a decline from 65 percent at the same time last year, according to the U.S. military headquarters in Kabul. Meanwhile, the Taliban continues to gain ground. Last week, militants seized control of a key area in Sari Pul province in northern Afghanistan.\n\nAs of 2016, the Pentagon employed approximately 26,000 private contractors in Afghanistan, about half of whom were assigned to logistics and maintenance duties, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. The U.S. currently has around 9,000 troops deployed in the country on a mission to train and assist Afghan forces.\n\nPresident Donald Trump reportedly expressed frustration with top U.S. military officials during a July meeting, accusing them of \"losing\" in Afghanistan and questioning whether the conflict remains worth fighting.

While the manufacturer claims support for cards up to 32 GB, a 64 GB card was tested and worked without issue. The device can drive headphones with an impedance ranging between 16 and 55 ohms.\n\nUsing the ONN X6 is somewhat frustrating due to its firmware and control scheme. As a long-time smartphone user, I find it less intuitive than older dedicated players like the Sony Walkman NWZ-E345, which was released in 2009. The firmware is very basic and shows several rough edges, particularly in media library management. The interface is simple and visually clean, displaying a minimal set of information that may appeal to some but frustrate others. The main menu is divided into sections: Now Playing, Music, FM Radio, Record, Explorer, and Settings.\n\nBrowsing the music stored on the device is straightforward using the \"back\" and \"forward\" buttons to select items and the \"M\" button to activate them. However, navigating backward becomes difficult. With only four buttons available, going back requires a long press of the \"M\" button, which demands patience and slows down menu navigation. Playing a track from the SD card is particularly cumbersome. The player does not index the SD card, forcing users to manually browse folders to select tracks. This limitation prevents mixing songs from internal storage with those on the SD card. Furthermore, playback from the SD card stops if you browse the internal library, and vice versa.\n\nAdditionally, folders and files are sorted chronologically rather than alphabetically. This can result in a disorganized list where artists like AC/DC might appear at the end while U2 appears at the beginning, with mixed folders and names in between. Playback follows this chronological order, meaning the last track stored on the SD card will play first.\n\nPlayback of tracks from the microSD card is problematic. There is a noticeable gap at the start of each track, often cutting off the first second and ruining the listening experience. If the player shuts down while a track from the microSD is playing, selecting \"Now Playing\" upon restart will not resume the track. Instead, it will start playing a random track from the internal memory, if any are present.\n\nThe ONN X6 offers very few settings. Playback modes such as shuffle and repeat can be adjusted in the Settings screen, along with a simple equalizer.

And hey, here's a thought: if the market is so crazy for talent right now—precluding you from being a buyer—why not be a seller? Especially when you will have zero leverage in the summer? What is the plan? The supposed future all-stars in Rockford? And that's it? Or is it time for Bowman and the Hawk front office to stop defaulting to a core that is getting older, and the promise of prospects and draft picks that never gets quite fulfilled? Go out and get Antoine Vermette. And Petry, or similar. Win now. Sort it out this summer. That's what winners like Dean Lombardi and Ken Holland have done and still do.

Now, four years later, Mulvaney is on a collision course with his former comrades. As President Trump's budget director, he is responsible for convincing intransigent House Republicans to make a different kind of choice and pass a new spending bill by April 28 to avert another shutdown.\n\nThe former South Carolina congressman, who was elected in the Tea Party wave of 2010 and took pride in rejecting his own party's budget proposals one after another, now serves as the administration's chief salesman on spending matters. Once an outspoken leader of the House Freedom Caucus, Mulvaney is now tasked with bringing along the group with which his boss has plainly lost patience. Frustrated by their obstruction on health care, Trump last week threatened to destroy Freedom Caucus members in the 2018 midterm elections, even as Mulvaney works with them to forge consensus on an agreement to keep the government funded.\n\nHowever, there are clear limits to Mulvaney's influence, as this month's embarrassing collapse of the Republican health-care bill laid bare. Some Freedom Caucus members speak privately of Mulvaney's \"philosophic convulsion,\" as one put it, and are quick to note that he no longer speaks with the ideological purity they came to respect in him, but rather as an agent of a president on the hunt for a deal.\n\n\"All of our lives are composed of trade-offs,\" said Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), a Freedom Caucus member. \"Each person has a different calibration on where 'go' means 'go' and where 'no' means 'no.' I wouldn't attempt to suggest for another where their own lines ought to be on that balancing act of personal philosophy and assigned roles or jobs, but what I would say is that I wish Mick the absolute best.\"\n\nTrump and his other advisers, however, see Mulvaney as their bridge to the Freedom Caucus, believing he still has unique credibility with the conservative hard-liners, however hostile they may be to some of the administration's priorities.\n\n\"If you have to have somebody on your side that understands the complexity of these bills and the stakes around a government shutdown, who would you rather have than Mick Mulvaney?\" asked Stephen K. Bannon, the chief White House strategist. Bannon called Mulvaney \"the unsung hero of this administration, because he's doing yeoman's work on just about every front. He's a rock star.\"\n\nMarc Short, the White House legislative affairs director, said Mulvaney is \"anchored in his core philosophy,\" but that he has said, \"As much as he loves his colleagues in the House, sometimes it's less about winning the argument than about actually advancing the ball.\"\n\nOne example of Mulvaney's dramatically altered role came with Sanford, who told The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., that Trump used Mulvaney as an intermediary to threaten to oust Sanford in retaliation for not supporting the health-care bill. Sanford said Mulvaney told him, \"The president asked me to look you square in the eyes and to say that he hoped you voted 'no' on this bill so he could run a primary challenger against you in 2018.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3939, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "40f9b6a570d5d5e564277e1861dd2580a03f5963", "raw_chars": 3339, "clean_chars": 3299, "edit_ratio": 0.0627, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Michigan is the only state in the country that penalizes minors for refusing to take breathalyzer tests, even if they are not driving. Despite multiple federal court decisions finding the practice unconstitutional, the state continues to test minors for alcohol. This has enraged former attorney and State Representative Peter Lucido (R-Shelby), who has introduced legislation to align Michigan law and police practices with the Constitution.\n\n\"By exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to say no,\" he says of minors who refuse Preliminary Breath Tests (PBTs), \"they get a two-point violation and a $100 fine.\" But \"we're allowed to say no because it's a taking of breath. It's a search.\"\n\nHis bill, H.B. 4213, would clarify that minors can refuse a PBT and require police officers to follow the same process for breathalyzing them as they would for other searches, namely obtaining a warrant. \"If someone wants to exercise their rights to say no,\" he says, \"the cops have to call a judge. Then a magistrate would hear the facts, and they could get a warrant.\"\n\nLucido's bill, if passed, would finally bring Michigan law into accordance with a 2007 U.S. District Court decision which ruled that Michigan's underage drinking law \"authorizes practices that contravene the Fourth Amendment\" by penalizing people who refuse a search. That ruling was the result of a lawsuit brought by the Michigan ACLU, who sued the state on behalf of two women who had been subjected to breathalyzer tests against their consent. One of the women had police show up at her door at 4 a.m. after discovering a purse she had left at a party. The officers demanded she take a breathalyzer or be fined.\n\nPrior to this, a 2003 U.S. District Court ruling had struck down an identical local breathalyzer fine for the same reasoning. But despite the courts striking down the application of fines for people exercising their constitutional rights, the Michigan law has remained on the books.\n\nThe law remains on the Michigan legislature's website, and defense attorneys are still cautioning their minor clients that they can be fined and penalized for refusing a PBT.\n\nThe bill passed through the House in March by a 102-to-6 vote, and the Senate Judiciary Committee sent it to the floor Thursday with a do-pass recommendation.\n\nSo far, the only major opposition has been from the Michigan Sheriff's Association, which has said it will remove a useful tool from law enforcement officers. Sheriff Association Executive Director Blaine Koops told Michigan Live that getting a warrant to conduct field breathalyzer tests was just too much of a hassle for the average beat cop. \"That is very time consuming and also very difficult as far as trying to get that paperwork out from the field to the judge and back.\"\n\nLucido, who has been in the legislature since 2015, also suggests concerns over revenue might be coloring the judgment of some law enforcement voices sad to see the $100 civil fines go. \"You roll up on a house party, have 50 kids refuse a breathalyzer, and collect $5,000 in revenue.

However, we know that Jane Lynch will play a prison guard and Danny Trejo a prisoner. (Didn't see that role coming for Trejo, did you?)\n\nAlso in the cast are Rashida Jones and Chris Cooper, with the latter playing the villain.

New research reveals that the fault has moved significantly more than previously thought, surpassing any other known land-based fault in the world. Over the past 25 million years, the two sides of the South Island have shifted more than 700 kilometers relative to each other along the Alpine Fault, which is 250 kilometers more than earlier estimates.\n\nThe full extent of this movement was previously masked because the rocks first moved 250 kilometers in one direction, then reversed course, retracing that distance before adding a further 450 kilometers. GNS Science earthquake geologist Robert Langridge has been studying why the Alpine Fault is so susceptible to earthquakes, and it has since been discovered that it may be the world's fastest-moving known fault line. The extent of the movement was determined by researchers from Victoria University and GNS Science, with their findings published in the American Geophysical Union journal G-Cubed.\n\nJoanne Carroll, a GNS Science earthquake geologist, has been studying the layers in a trench across the Alpine Fault at Springs Junction. Her work, along with that of her colleagues, highlights the scale of the fault's activity. \"I don't think anybody in their wildest dreams would have thought that displacements on the fault could be so large, and also change direction so dramatically through time,\" said Associate Professor Dr. Simon Lamb from Victoria University's School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences.\n\nThe researchers made this discovery by analyzing geological maps alongside studies of the direction of magnetization in the rocks. Lamb noted that the finding underscores the fact that the Alpine Fault has been the primary seismic hazard in the South Island for a \"very, very long time.\" Other faults in the central and southern parts of the South Island had played only a minor role in the movement of the tectonic plates. For comparison, the next largest known fault displacement on land is on the Altyn Tagh Fault in Tibet, with a total movement of about 475 kilometers.\n\nThe new theory about the Alpine Fault represents a major shift in scientific thinking, requiring the researchers to provide convincing arguments to get their findings published. Lamb explained that the idea occurred to him only about six months ago. \"I was calculating the motion of the tectonic plates through New Zealand and realized they were so much bigger than the movement everyone was saying had taken place on the Alpine Fault,\" he said. His advantage was that, coming from the UK, he was not wedded to a particular way of thinking about the fault. \"We put together this team of people who came at it from lots of different directions to make sure this was right, that we hadn't made some terrible mistake and missed something.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3963, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "b2997e053365e2e2e5b361f3b1da46c63ef83deb", "raw_chars": 2156, "clean_chars": 2170, "edit_ratio": 0.2857, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is time to take the experience gained over the past four seasons and turn it into a genuine championship run, unhindered by injury and inspired by the moment.

It's three \"OrganiOils\" are Rossignol (sativa), Banook (indica), and Bras d'Or (hybrid). The new deal signed with Trailer Park Boys' production company (Trailer Park Boys Productions Limited, of Sonic Entertainment Group of Nova Scotia) will be a five-year deal and include branding and packaging targeted to recreational cannabis users. The three actors (John Paul Tremblay, Robb Wells, and Mike Smith) who play the trailer park boys are the sole owners and controllers of the company and make all of their own choices about business ventures. Ray Gracewood of OrganiGram stated that \"This relationship solidifies one of our strategic building blocks as we plan for the legalization of recreational [cannabis] use in Canada. The team at Trailer Park Boys have an aligned vision to develop a national brand with our assistance and we're incredibly excited at how the partnership will come to life.\" The \"swearist\" Trailer Park Boys will receive a combination of cash royalties and other non-monetary considerations. Is Canada ready for Trailer Park Boys Marijuana? Will the first strain be called \"Swearist Sativa\" or \"Shitism Sativa\"? Will we ever get official TPB Hash Coins? We're about to find out, and I guarantee that Ricky, Julian, Bubbles, and J-Roc will be over the moon when their marijuana royalties start rolling in.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3987, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "4f920c3254fc1b509ef174838c46b9de30554da6", "raw_chars": 652, "clean_chars": 702, "edit_ratio": 0.8479, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Could you blame a 17-year-old scrolling through Spotify and assuming they understood the essence of Britpop simply because they listened to Suede's greatest hits?

However, Arrow has consistently expressed interest in playing abroad and has requested a break from the game. Meanwhile, a significant discrepancy exists between Hachani's signing demands and KT's willingness to pay; Hachani asked for nearly double what the team was prepared to offer. He has reportedly received an offer from an EU LCS team, and it is speculated that he has the highest chance of signing there at this time.\n\nRegarding Deft and Mata, both players are prioritizing winning over money at this stage. They are expected to sign for salaries around $100,000. Although Mata previously earned approximately $600,000 per year in China and some teams have offered him similar amounts, he is looking for a stronger competitive team. They may sign together or individually, though nothing is confirmed yet. Longzhu Gaming attempted to recruit them but was rejected. Their first choice is to join SK Telecom T1, provided that Bang and Wolf choose not to resign. Their second choice is KT Rolster. Given the recent increase in World Championship winnings, any pay cuts they take in salary will be more than compensated if they sign with a team capable of winning the World Championship.\n\nLongzhu Gaming is looking to make huge moves this offseason, with a major announcement expected by next Tuesday at the latest. Unlike in 2016, they aim to be quick in the free agent market. This delay is not due to a lack of funding but rather a lack of free agents willing to sign with Longzhu.\n\nFaker is currently earning between $400,000 and $500,000 per year. SKT has promised to raise his salary to the top levels in the LCK, speculated to be at least $1,000,000 annually. Longzhu was the only team predicted to have the funds to match this offer, but rumors suggest a mysterious LCK team has told Faker they can also match it.\n\nCoach kkOma has not yet been contacted by other teams but is expected to receive massive offers. In general, LCK coaches are anticipated to have many suitors from China this year.\n\nPawN is reportedly only looking to sign with an LCK team.\n\nFinally, a super team is on the verge of forming in Korea. The players and teams involved have not yet been disclosed, but while unconfirmed, there is a very high chance of it happening.

Let me know in the comments!\n\nBritpop was a glorious era for British and Irish music, when bands from almost every major city in the country were generating enough groundswell to rack up Top 20 and even Top 10 hits regularly, and many of them replicating their home shores success worldwide.\n\nThe Radio Industrial Complex hadn't fully kicked into gear - regional stations hadn't been gobbled whole by centralised conglomerates - and the Madchester scene had proved that local areas could flourish on a national stage if given the exposure.\n\nAnd so it proved, if a band from Downpatrick could conquer the Belfast scene, they could find themselves leading the soundtrack to a Hollywood movie starring Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz.For a while in the mid nineties, the charts were flooded with music from across the country that straddled genres from the burgeoning rave/trip hop/house end of the spectrum to Uk hip hop finding it's feet with Mark Morrison, and the album charts awash with records that were recorded in every country of the islands.Eventually the things ran their natural course, tastes moved on, output from reliable artists veered into the middle of the road, Napster ambushed the business model of an entire industry that refused to embrace the future, 9/11 triggered a diktat that coursed through American radio that implied music was a source of evil, and reality television delivered manufactured music to the masses cheaper, quicker and more reliably than ever before.So Britpop became a memory, one which has very selectively been shrunk to a Big Four - Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede.\n\nTo narrow one of the most expansive periods in music to four bands is woefully reductive, but what of the Four that were deemed Big.\n\nOasis and Blur were unquestionably the two biggest acts of the era, with their chart battles becoming the stuff of legend , and few bands personified the propulsion of regional music better than Jarvis Cocker's Pulp, who had spent years in Sheffield clubs before hitting the big time.But Suede?\n\nHow did they get elevated to this bracket?\n\nYes they had hits, and a massive album, but so did lots of bands.\n\nWhy not Supergrass, with their records of wall-to-wall hits?\n\nWhy not Manic Street Preachers, who managed some of the most subversive Number 1 hits in chart history (how many other ones were about the Spanish Civil War )?\n\nWhy not Ocean Colour Scene?Was it their alternative credentials?\n\nThey why not Placebo, or Elastica, or Skunk Anansie?\n\nTheir pop song-writing sensibilities?\n\nThen why not The Beautiful South, or The Lightning Seeds, or The La's, or Divine Comedy, all of whom fit the 'pop' part of the genre's moniker much better than Suede.And given that Suede's classic lineup with Bernard Butler on guitar had dissolved by 1994, were they even at their creative best when they were seized by the Britpop tidal wave?\n\nThe reason I'm taking umbrage is that people will look back on Britpop, and look to discover more of it.\n\nBut if the prevailing narrative is that there's a Big Four - an arbitrary number that seems to have been ordained because there was a perceived Big Four in the Premier League (also proven foolish), so let's have a Big Four for everything - people will be less inclined to seek out the breadth of music that was being scattershot across the airwaves at the time.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 3986, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "4c9cd958467d59cc8e930e5dfedd41d6caa2c633", "raw_chars": 3444, "clean_chars": 3595, "edit_ratio": 0.8179, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Guifi.net is a free, open, and neutral telecommunications community network based primarily in Catalonia and Valencia, Spain.

Their first order of business after subsisting on mostly freeze-dried and canned food will be to feast on fresh-picked pineapple, papaya, mango, locally grown vegetables, and a fluffy, homemade egg strata cooked by their project’s lead scientist.\n\nThe crew of four men and two women were quarantined on a vast plain below the summit of the world’s largest active volcano in January. All of their communications with the outside world were subjected to a 20-minute delay, mimicking the time it takes for signals to travel from Mars to Earth. They are part of a study designed to better understand the psychological effects that a long-term manned mission to space would have on astronauts. The data they gathered will help NASA better select crews with certain traits and a higher chance of succeeding during a two-to-three-year Mars expedition. The space agency hopes to send humans to the red planet by the 2030s.\n\nThe Hawaii team wore specially designed sensors to gauge their moods and proximity to other people in the small, 1,200 square-foot dome where they lived. The devices monitored, among other things, their voice levels and could sense if people were avoiding one another. It could also detect if they were next to each other and arguing. The crew played games designed to measure their compatibility and stress levels. And when they got overwhelmed by being in such close proximity to each other, they could use virtual reality devices to escape to tropical beaches or other familiar landscapes.\n\nThe project’s lead investigator, University of Hawaii professor Kim Binsted, said the crew members also kept written logs about how they were feeling.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4009, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "240b8a3bcc6c9760f2079420bdc00c6032d7c4eb", "raw_chars": 1678, "clean_chars": 1681, "edit_ratio": 0.0063, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Equipped with a hybrid car and a camera, photographer Seph Lawless travels the country snapping pictures of abandoned shopping malls. The empty structures are perhaps not the first thing that would come to one's mind when searching for worthy photographic subjects, but in front of Lawless' lens, the eerie spaces become moving portraits of America's past.\n\nFrom unused escalators surrounded by fallen ceiling tiles to faded customer service centers flanked by shriveled indoor plants, the photographs offer a glimpse into oft-ignored aspects of contemporary suburban sprawl. Located throughout parts of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, these Rust Belt relics are the byproducts of job loss, Lawless explained to HuffPost. As manufacturing opportunities continue to decline and town populations fluctuate in the wake of the economic downturn, the mammoth shopping malls become unsustainable. When they evade demolition, they become ghostlike monuments of better times.\n\n\"I wanted Americans to see what was happening to their country from the comfort of their suburban homes and smartphones,\" Lawless, who goes by a pseudonym, said. \"I didn't think the problems we face as a country would change unless we faced these problems, and I thought we could start by simply looking at them.\"\n\nLawless admits that gaining access to the shopping malls has been a challenge, as he has had to remove boards and climb facades throughout his journeys.

The game only allows three characters to battle, prioritizing mechanics over realism, but the rest of the party stays in the back, occasionally using support skills. They can also be instantly swapped with active characters.\n\nMana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis also keeps half your party on reserve, but you can swap them in mid-attack or even while defending. This not only allows for extra damage, but you will later unlock special finishing moves that require you to deal a certain number of combos or use all characters in a single attack.\n\nAnother design choice is to have a party but only give players control over one character at a time. A few games do this, but in my opinion, the pinnacle of such a system was Final Fantasy XII and its gambit system, where you \"program\" party members using a series of conditionals, such as \"IF health < 30%, USE Potion,\" and so on.\n\nThe Last Remnant might be a mess of a game, but it is a very interesting one. While most RPGs have between three and eight party members, here you have up to eighteen characters at once, split into up to five different squads, each with their own formation. The stats of each squad are a mix between the individual character stats and a group average plus a current formation bonus.\n\nInstead of asking you to control all eighteen characters, the game takes a more \"macro\" approach: you give orders like \"Full Attack!\" to each squad, and each character will use the attack they think works best.\n\nAnother example of fighting large-scale battles is Sengoku Rance, in which you control generals and their armies. Their troops are their HP, and the more troops they have, the more damage they can deal. Another unique aspect of Sengoku Rance is that battles and characters have a turn limit. Each unit can only attack up to four times per battle, and battles cannot last more than twenty-four turns. Once time ends, the side with the highest morale wins.\n\nTime-keeping and status effects are also important. Speaking of time, a cool side effect of having turns is that it makes the passing of time much easier to measure and understand. Compare it to a real-time RPG: even if you know that a buff lasts thirty-five seconds, that does not clearly convey how many actions you are able to perform. In turn-based games, that is very simple to understand, as it will just say \"this buff lasts five turns.\"\n\nAs such, many turn-based games make great use of effects that happen over time, such as buffs, debuffs, and trade-offs, or even just annoying enemies that regenerate twenty percent of their HP each turn.\n\nThe Etrian Odyssey series has plenty of skills based on short time windows or temporary trade-offs, such as dealing more damage this turn but being left vulnerable, forfeiting a turn to boost damage for the next two to three turns, or dealing a lot of damage at once and then resting for one to two turns.\n\nCosmic Star Heroine has several systems that will make you carefully track time. Each turn, both you and the enemies get stronger, so combat grows increasingly deadly. Also, every X number of turns, your characters get a \"hyper\" buff, which greatly increases their damage.\n\nMoreover, there is no mana: each ability can be used once, then you must rest or defend to be able to use it again, effectively asking you to \"waste\" a turn to recharge your powers. Thus, knowing when to use your best attacks, such as ASAP to quickly kill enemies, when the hyper buff activates, or later when they are more powerful, and when to rest is key to surviving.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4012, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f191be961a6fb562fb259ed194f9dd4ed8a4616c", "raw_chars": 1975, "clean_chars": 1994, "edit_ratio": 0.3147, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At Wrigley Field, the championship flags are raised and lowered on a single rope for each division, featuring only National League teams.

However, if you are not building the design down to hardware, you likely will not notice any difference.\n\nLike most similar CPUs, the control logic essentially boils down to multiplexers selecting which data gets sent where. In particular, there are four multiplexers in the processor's data path:\n\nPCSrc routes the \"next\" program counter value to the program counter.\nRegDst selects which register to write from two fields in the instruction (the diagram shows three inputs, but that appears to be an error).\nBSrc selects the second argument to the ALU, either an immediate value or a register value.\nWBSrc is the \"write back\" multiplexer that selects what data is set back to the registers for writing.\n\nThe rest of the design details the thirteen instructions, the five instruction formats, and the control signals required for each format. The nuances of the instructions in each category depend on what the ALU is set to do. In other words, an add instruction and a subtract instruction are exactly the same except for the operation code sent to the ALU. As you might imagine, the ALU takes two inputs and an operation code and produces an output.\n\nThe original post does not explicitly state which instructions belong to which category, but it is fairly easy to deduce. The Load and Store instructions fall under the memory access formats. The Branch on Equal and Branch on Not Equal instructions are in the branch category. The Jump instruction has its own format. All other instructions are classified as \"data processing.\" One table mentions a \"hamming distance\" operation code, but this does not appear anywhere else, including in the code, so it is likely a copy-paste error.\n\nThe two tables do a good job of summarizing the operations needed to make the CPU work. There are nine distinct control signals:\n\nRegDst corresponds to the multiplexer in the diagram of the same name and selects whether the destination is a register (shown as reg_dst in the code).\nALUSrc selects the source of the ALU argument (the same as the BSrc multiplexer in the diagram, and shown as alu_src in the code).\nMemtoReg is active when a memory-to-register transfer occurs (mem_to_reg in the code).\nRegWrite is set when a write should go to a register (reg_write in the code).\nMemRead is set when a memory read provides the source data for the instruction (mem_read in the code).\nMemWrite is set when memory is the write destination (mem_write in the code).\nBranch is active when a branch is in progress (a combination of beq and bne signals in the code).\nALUOp, combined with part of the instruction, selects the operation to perform in the ALU (alu_op in the code).\nJump is active when a jump is in progress.\n\nThe table corresponds directly to the Verilog code in the control unit, except for the name changes, which makes the table slightly harder to follow. For example, here is the code for a data processing instruction with opcode 0010:\n\n4'b0010: // data_processing\nbegin\nreg_dst = 1'b1;\nalu_src = 1'b0;\nmem_to_reg = 1'b0;\nreg_write = 1'b1;\nmem_read = 1'b0;\nmem_write = 1'b0;\nbeq = 1'b0;\nbne = 1'b0;\nalu_op = 2'b00;\njump = 1'b0;\nend\n\nComparing that to the table in the original post, you will see it maps directly. In English, the instruction is a read from two registers that writes back to the registers with an ALU operation code of 0, and it is not a jump or a branch.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4038, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "716c7a56b2c81148f6bf47ee7ac9be5d659ce6ed", "raw_chars": 564, "clean_chars": 702, "edit_ratio": 0.7425, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Knee-jerk reactions to short-term political pressures often lead to poor choices.

Pundits and party enthusiasts suggest that Secretary Clinton should pick a progressive firebrand like Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders or Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren to unite the party. Either would be an exciting choice, but neither would be wise. The better pick is Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia.\n\nIt is true that Kaine does not electrify the Democratic base. His career demonstrates political choices that are more steadfast than stimulating. Kaine has not even gathered 50,000 followers on Twitter, nor has he exchanged verbal taunts with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump through social media platforms. As politicians go, former Governor Kaine is a steady Democrat whose best-case future is probably to be more liked than loved.\n\nHowever, there is far more to being a good running mate than media celebrity. Kaine brings a great deal to the ticket. His career includes executive experience as mayor of Richmond, as well as lieutenant governor and governor of Virginia. On the national stage, he is well-liked, and he sits on the important Foreign Relations Committee. His experience effectively demonstrates the most important quality any vice presidential nominee must have: if needed, he is prepared to step in as president.\n\nKaine's nomination would avoid the risks associated with popular candidates who can go off message and even hurt the top of the ticket. Kaine is not likely to imitate someone like former Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin by going rogue or by drowning out the campaign message with media gaffes. As the former head of the Democratic National Committee, Kaine understands how to deal with national media, stay on message, and be a team player. In an election cycle driven by repeated media blunders, having a candidate who can handle the spotlight is vital.\n\nIn addition to his experience, Kaine's popularity in Virginia would put pressure on the Republicans. He is well-known in his home state, and his ability to reach voters in Virginia could keep that state in Democratic hands and make the electoral challenge for Republicans even more difficult. Indeed, his ability to reach working-class white voters could help Clinton outside Virginia in both the South and the Midwest.\n\nKaine is also a leading proponent for immigration reform, an issue that may be pivotal in the upcoming election. Kaine was the first to deliver a Senate floor speech entirely in Spanish when he spoke in favor of immigration reform. He learned to speak fluent Spanish in Honduras, where he lived for a year working as a missionary while taking a year off from his studies at Harvard. His ability to speak to millions of Hispanic voters directly will be a significant asset in the race.\n\nSome will surely view Kaine as too safe and too establishment a candidate in a year of upheaval and change. Safe and recognized candidates have struggled through the nomination process for both parties. Clinton managed to win the nomination, but it was a fight to the end with a candidate who many pundits originally believed would not be credible. Indeed, many of those same pundits now argue that voters are frustrated and looking for someone to channel that anger and dissatisfaction with the government, like Sanders or Warren.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4037, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "9e5e9631272176aaccfabfab41818404cb824f76", "raw_chars": 3361, "clean_chars": 2991, "edit_ratio": 0.1659, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A service acts as a management wrapper for one or more of your tasks.

This was the point where we realized that we had a problem in terms of how we managed our incoming traffic.\n\nOur problem was that the old service was an Elastic Beanstalk application (not a problem on its own), and public traffic was hitting the Beanstalk load balancer directly. The only control we had over this traffic was using DNS.\n\nOur only option at this point was to do a DNS switch to the new logging service that was deployed to ECS. This would be risky, though. It could take up to 48 hours before we could be sure that all traffic was where we needed it to be. In addition, rolling back would be just as sluggish and unpredictable. So at this point, we realized that what we needed was an edge service of some description. Something that would allow us to do the following:\n\nAt this point, we could wait the 48 hours that might be necessary, but all of our traffic would still end up at the same service internally. What we have introduced is something that will give us full control over where our traffic ends up without having to rely on DNS.

In that campaign, several South Vietnamese units broke and ran, others suffered devastating casualties, and in some cases, entire battalions were captured. American and South Vietnamese officers said that the massive use of American air power had saved the country.\n\nAlthough American advisers to Vietnamese units and Special Forces Soldiers often lived close to the Vietnamese, and often ate Vietnamese food, most American servicemen lived in isolation in compounds and barracks that were as much like home as they could make them. Air-conditioners, soft drinks, beer, ice cream, the latest movies, television, tape recorders, and pin-ups were standard. Most of the food was shipped from the United States. Generals prided themselves on elaborate messes. Junior officers and noncoms took pride in building fancy clubs. The Air Force club in Pleiku was known for its huge crystal chandelier. One of the most popular clubs in Saigon used to be the top of the Rex Hotel, where the officers held barbecue cookouts every Sunday night. In the beginning there were slot machines everywhere, but they abruptly disappeared one day.\n\nHeavy Ratio of Support Men: In support jobs outnumbered combat troops by more than 7 to 1. But there were line units with many helicopters, like the First Cavalry Division, where the \"grunts,\" or fighting men, usually got two hot meals a day and sometimes had ice cream and soda in the field.\n\nThe tour of duty in Vietnam was one year. Its brevity made the separation from family more bearable but it created great turbulence in the armed forces. Many officers felt that this short tour weakened the services structurally and created a situation in which, as one officer said, \"We didn't have 8 years or 12 years, or whatever it was of experience- we had one year of experience eight times.\" Officers spent six months in combat duty and six months in administrative or support jobs. This gave everyone some exposure to the war and increased his chances for promotion, but it also kept everyone in unfamiliar jobs.\n\nWith all the amenities, though, morale began to fall in 1970 and 1971. Drug use became endemic. A few units refused orders to go into combat and enlisted men occasionally \"fragged\" their officers by throwing fragmentation grenades. Soldiers began to wear love beads and peace symbols and let their hair run shaggy. It was only after units had gotten down to a hard core of \"lifers,\" specialists, and technicians that the American forces in Vietnam regained some of the lost discipline.\n\nToday, as the last men were heading home, a reporter asked whether they were happy or sad.

Downing Street quickly released a second statement, claiming that the one they initially put out was sent 'in error'.\n\nAmidst all this chaos, May’s two chiefs of staff were forced to resign, and senior ministers were apparently on the phone to Boris Johnson begging him to take over the helm.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4069, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b4d39ad35629bc569080ddc11fe78cf967c72f58", "raw_chars": 3362, "clean_chars": 3299, "edit_ratio": 0.1218, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "FaZe Clan managed to close out the series against Renegades 2-1 (Nuke 16-7, Mirage 22-19, Train 16-10) to secure the second spot in Group B and qualify for IEM Oakland.\n\nThe series to decide the last spot at IEM Oakland started on Nuke, which was Renegades' map pick.

The Duquesne spy ring included 30 men and three women operating under the direction of Frederick \"Fritz\" Joubert Duquesne, a flamboyant South African adventurer and soldier who had also spied for the Germans during World War I. Starting in the late 1930s, members of Duquesne's clandestine cell found their way into key civilian jobs in the United States. Some operatives served as couriers by working aboard American merchant vessels and airlines, while others gathered information by posing as military contractors. In its first several months, the Duquesne spy ring gained significant intelligence on American shipping patterns and even stole military secrets regarding the bombsights used in American aircraft.\n\nDespite its early successes, the Duquesne spy ring was toppled in 1941 when a new recruit named William G. Sebold became a double agent for the United States. In addition to funneling dummy radio messages to the Nazis, the FBI provided Sebold with an office in New York outfitted with hidden recording devices and a two-way mirror. Once Sebold had gathered enough evidence, the FBI arrested Duquesne and 32 of his operatives in the biggest espionage bust in American history. Just days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, all members of the group were convicted and sentenced to a total of over 300 years in prison.\n\nThe Bombing of Ellwood Oil Field\n\nAfter the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, a small contingent of Japanese submarines was dispatched east to patrol the California coastline. On February 23, 1942, the Japanese submarine I-17 slinked into a channel near Ellwood Oil Field, a large oil well and storage facility outside of Santa Barbara. After surfacing, the submarine lobbed 16 shells at Ellwood Beach from its lone deck gun before submerging and fleeing to the open ocean.\n\nThe brief shelling only caused minor damage to the oil field—a pump house and a single oil derrick were destroyed—but its implications were severe. The bombardment at Ellwood was the first shelling of the mainland United States during World War II, and it sparked an invasion panic among an American populace not used to dealing with war on the home front. A day later, reports of enemy aircraft led to the so-called \"Battle of Los Angeles,\" in which American artillery was discharged over Los Angeles for several hours due to the mistaken belief that the Japanese were invading.\n\nThe Bombing of Fort Stevens and the Lookout Air Raids\n\nSoldiers inspected a crater caused by the Japanese attack at Fort Stevens.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4096, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "60dfc4455032f8ea082a2caaeb69a95d188ec92b", "raw_chars": 2330, "clean_chars": 2405, "edit_ratio": 0.1333, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A bettor or a group of bettors could theoretically spread relatively small bets across a number of casinos. However, Wheatley-Schaller notes that such a strategy is \"easier said than done,\" because offshore operators, Las Vegas sportsbooks, and bookmakers tend to pay close attention to the lines at other shops with high limits. Concentrated bets on a single team would create enough movement in the betting lines to generate suspicion.\n\nThis is not to say that game fixing and point shaving are completely dead. When these issues have surfaced in the new millennium, they have been concentrated in low-major college basketball or football games with double-digit point spreads. According to a March story in ESPN The Magazine about University of San Diego basketball player Brandon Johnson, who received a six-month prison sentence for his role in a sports bribery conspiracy in 2012, several NCAA football and basketball players have either been prosecuted or kicked off their teams for their involvement in point shaving schemes.\n\nThese low-major football and basketball leagues, full of players plying their craft for free with little chance of going pro, are more analogous to the NFL of the 1940s through the 1960s than the NFL of today. Fewer books offer action on these games, with lower betting limits and less attention paid to the lines.\n\nStill, the NFL fears the influence of gamblers and game fixers, at least publicly. In his 2001 book The Odds: One Season, Three Gamblers, and the Death of Their Las Vegas, Chad Millman cites then-NFL Security Vice President Milt Aherlich, who called betting \"the hydrogen bomb of the leagues.\" Section 15 of the standard NFL player contract, titled \"INTEGRITY OF GAME,\" allows for the fine, suspension, or termination of a contract for any player \"if he accepts a bribe or agrees to throw or fix an NFL game; fails to promptly report a bribe offer or an attempt to throw or fix an NFL game; bets on an NFL game; [or] knowingly associates with gamblers or gambling activity.\"\n\nBut despite the NFL's protests, the problem of game fixing does not appear to be one the league needs to worry about too much any time soon. Now that the league pays its players like they are the best in the world at what they do—despite its best efforts since the players first unionized in 1956—what was once the league's biggest problem has, ironically enough, solved itself.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4096, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "162f394a6e95b0c6e34e75dcc18e77afbda113a7", "raw_chars": 3499, "clean_chars": 3505, "edit_ratio": 0.0037, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "By the 1980s, according to multiple bookmakers, gamblers, and other sources interviewed by Moldea, players fixing games had become a thing of the past.

There's too much of a spotlight on them. Oddsmakers want honest football. We don't want anything dishonest. It interferes with our handicapping if the games are fixed. I can't get a true picture of the value of the teams.\"\n\nMort Olshan, whom Moldea called \"perhaps the most renowned football handicapper in the United States,\" affirmed Martin's conclusion and added, \"To make the risk worthwhile, the high-salaried athlete would expect a sizable payoff.\"\n\nThanks to increases in television revenue, competition from the United States Football League, and the labor fights of the NFLPA, the average NFL player salary exploded from $27,500 in 1972 to $90,102 by 1982, and all the way to $299,616 by 1989, the year Moldea published Interference. The award promised to Hapes and Filchock to fix the 1946 NFL Championship Game comes out to roughly $30,000 in 1989 dollars according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—less than the league's minimum salary.\n\nThe minimum salary in today's NFL stands at $420,000 for rookies and is no less than $645,000 for any player with at least three years' experience, according to the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement. The result is a completely different world for athletes than the one Karras lived in, where his part ownership of a local bar paid out twice as much as his All-Pro NFL labor.\n\nSuch an environment makes coordinating a fix nearly impossible. Even if a rogue gambler could cobble together the likely six-figure sum (or higher) required to turn a player towards fixing, he would need to find a bookmaker—or enough bookmakers—willing to take the large bets necessary to make a profit.\n\nThose bookmakers won't be found in legal betting areas, either offshore or in Las Vegas. \"The way the limits work for something like the NFL at the most respected offshore books (i.e. Pinnacle, Bookmaker) is they start off pretty small (low four figures) early in the week, and then as they take some bets and are more confident they're dealing a reasonable line, the limits go up throughout the week, getting to mid-to-high-five figures (sometimes $100K) by gametime,\" says Jacob Wheatley-Schaller via email, a sports gambling expert and the author of vegaswatch.org, a blog devoted to exposing misleading and misinformed treatments of gambling in sports journalism. \"Other offshore shops mirror that general approach, although generally on a smaller scale.\"\n\nWheatley-Schaller says bet limits in Vegas work similarly, \"although their limits at the higher end are more dependent on if they think you are any good or not (thus Mayweather being able to bet $2 million, which is an amount one casino would never agree to take on an NFL game if they thought the bettor was getting the best of it).\" Fixing multiple games and taking profits over a long period of time at a single book would be difficult as well. \"No matter where you bet, you're going to have a hard time staying under the radar if you're betting huge amounts and consistently winning,\" Wheatley-Schaller says. \"Eventually the people taking your bets will either stop doing that, or figure out you're providing them with really valuable information and want to bet it themselves.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4109, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "30ff8ef801a07435a7c6d5f4ecfd2889c08e815d", "raw_chars": 3287, "clean_chars": 3257, "edit_ratio": 0.1418, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Last June, the British lifestyle magazine Monocle named Copenhagen \"the World's Most Livable City,\" citing its world-class design, gastronomy, culture, innovative city planning, and green, sustainable lifestyle. There is not much rotten in Denmark these days, and it is hard not to love Copenhagen. Bicycles and pedestrians rule the streets, and the people mostly look as if they stepped out of a fashion magazine.\n\nBut there is another city within Copenhagen—the infamous \"free town\" of Christiania—and I could not help but wonder how it might rate by Monocle's high-minded, modernist criteria. Christiania is an 84-acre anarchic enclave founded in 1971 when a brigade of young squatters and artists took over an abandoned military base on the edge of town and proclaimed it a \"free zone\" beyond the reach of Danish law. They christened it Christiania, after the borough of Christianshavn. Christiania is still in full swing with about 900 residents, some of them third-generation, and it is perhaps the largest and longest-lasting commune in history. To enter it, you pass under a sign that reads, \"You Are Now Leaving the European Union.\" The people of Christiania fly their own flag and use their own currency.\n\nI first went to Copenhagen in 1972. The youth movement was in full bloom; even the soldiers had long hair. When I heard about Christiania, a neighborhood that had just been \"liberated\" and was now a commune where you could squat for free and do almost anything you liked, I headed right over.\n\nThere was a bit of East Village to it all, but the attitude was more determined. Thousands of young Danes—artists, feminists, hippies, and anarchists—were turning their back on straight society and had actually conquered a part of town, holding it and living there for free beyond the law. This was heady stuff back then. Christiania even had a mission statement: \"to be a self-governing society . . . self-sustaining . . . and aspiring to avert psychological and physical destitution.\" The possession of private property was thought to be immoral.\n\nBack then, a walk through Christiania (no cars, of course) was mesmerizing. Everyone was young. There was a lot of hair. I had seen American hippies, but the ones here were a bit more stylish—chic, even—especially the girls, barefoot in their face paint and peasant dresses. People set up stands to sell macrobiotic food and Third World jewelry and beads, but the main attraction was the hashish. If people were not selling it or smoking it, they were bent over busily crumbling it into small pieces, mixing it with tobacco, and rolling joints. Its sweet smell was everywhere.\n\nThe free town seemed more a festival to me than a society. I could not imagine it lasting. People would flock there for a while, I knew, but criminal elements, motorcycle gangs, and party people—the usual potpourri of miscreants—would surely soon outnumber the idealists. The locusts would come, as they did in Haight-Ashbury. Inevitably, the government would forcibly close it down. Obviously, I didn't know the Danes.\n\nI went back to Copenhagen for a visit this summer. I was curious about Christiania. It was 42 years old now. What had it become?

Officials had attempted to block the three-day event, fearing it would undermine the global ban on rhino trade, and initially refused to issue the necessary permit.\n\nHume's legal team argued that the permits had already been approved by the authorities but not formally issued. This dispute arises in the context of a ban on domestic rhino trade that was lifted in South Africa three months ago. \"We lost the case. We have to hand over the permit that was issued,\" said Moses Rannditsheni, a spokesman for the environment ministry. Hume's lawyer, Izak du Toit, stated that they expected to collect the permit before the auction was scheduled to begin at 10:00 GMT on Monday.\n\nHume has stockpiled six tonnes of rhino horns and intends to auction off 500 kilograms, or 264 horns. Following the ruling, he expressed satisfaction, stating, \"We are happy. I hope that the government has learnt that they can't be unfair to us.\" The judge also expressed dismay at the conduct of the minister and the department.\n\nRhino horns are highly valued, estimated to fetch up to US$60,000 per kilogram on the black market, a price higher than that of gold or cocaine. South Africa is home to approximately 20,000 rhinos, representing about 80 percent of the global population. However, the country has recently suffered record levels of slaughter by poachers.\n\nHume and other campaigners argue that poaching can only be halted by addressing the massive demand from Asia through the legal \"harvesting\" of horn from anesthetized live rhinos. Conversely, animal rights activists contend that legal sales of rhino horns will only fuel further poaching. Rhino horn is composed primarily of keratin, the same protein found in human nails. It is sold in powdered form in Vietnam and China as a supposed cure for cancer and other diseases, as well as an aphrodisiac.\n\nJohan Van Eyk of Van's Auctioneers, who will conduct the sale, noted that there is no set opening price, as this will be the first-ever rhino horn auction. South Africa is home to over 300 private rhino breeders, who claim to have spent more than two billion rand (US$150 million) to protect their herds over the past nine years.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4142, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b2492116690d202eb136ce264ae39de6b211f81c", "raw_chars": 1123, "clean_chars": 1158, "edit_ratio": 0.352, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Are you ready for me to shill some ska at you?

Exactly as much yarn as is needed is used from the cones of merino yarn for each scarf, leaving no discarded borders or scraps. At the extreme, you could even unravel your scarf if you tire of it far in the future. Knitting can be unraveled back to yarn that you can use to knit something else. The high-quality merino KnitYak uses won't wear out or pill and will be reusable far in the future as reclaimed yarn.\n\nElementary Cellular Automata\n\nKnitYak makes scarves and wraps with elementary cellular automata algorithms. An elementary cellular automaton (plural: automata) is a computer algorithm which follows a set of simple rules.\n\nThe images that are generated from the algorithm are created as follows. Each elementary cellular automaton has rules explaining what happens to a cell for the next row, based on the cell above it, and the cells above and to the left and above and to the right. For example, Rule 110, (seven scarf-sized iterations of which are shown above), follows these rules:\n\nEach cell is affected by the previous row above. Following the leftmost square on the diagram, a black cell in the previous row one cell to the left, and a black cell above, and a black cell above and to the right means that in this row, the cell will be white. Now take a look at the second square from the left on the diagram. If one cell up and to the left is black, and the cell above is black, and up and to the right is white, then the new cell will be black. You may have even recognized that 01101110 is the binary representation of decimal number one-hundred and ten. That is why this rule is named Rule 110. Mathematical!\n\nEach of the seven scarf sized iterations of Rule 110 above have different initial conditions. Which cells are \"turned on\" or set to \"one\" in the first row determine the initial conditions. Below is a GIF that shows an iteration of rule 110 in a width of 61 cells with a first row where the cells (23,0) (42,0) and (60,0) are set to \"one\". Each new row below is generated according to the set rules of Rule 110 from the previous row.\n\nWhen knitting the KnitYak scarves, each cell or pixel is represented as one knit stitch. With Rule 110 (notably a Turing complete rule), I have chosen to make the points of the \"v\"s of the knit stitches correspond with the bottom points of the triangles. For other rules, such as Rule 73, I flip the knitting 180 degrees to line up with square edges produced by the emerging pattern of the rule. KnitYak scarves will be knit from many different rules of the elementary cellular automata algorithms, but only from the rules that look gorgeous in scarf and stole widths and lengths.\n\nAs the old saying goes, a GIF is worth a thousand words. Here below are some examples of Rule 110 pattern generation in scarf lengths. Would you like to generate your own Rule 110 GIFs? Here is the code I wrote for these.\n\nRewards\n\n$1: Gain access to all of the KnitYak updates. If you like, your name will be added to our website thank you page as a funder.

Essentially, these squares represent the very beginning of a KnitYak scarf. They are manufactured from black and white USA-spun merino on demand in Seattle, WA.\n\nFor $150, you can receive the KnitYak scarf, a luxurious black and white merino scarf knit with a pattern generated by a computer algorithm called an elementary cellular automaton. No two scarves are the same, making your scarf the only one like it in the solar system. The scarf measures 7 inches wide by 75 inches long (17.78 cm wide by 190.5 cm long). It is made from USA-produced soft merino wool in black and white and will be manufactured on demand for you in Seattle, WA.\n\nFor $300, you can receive two KnitYak scarves in premium quality black and white merino, knit with patterns generated by elementary cellular automata algorithms. You can specify whether you would prefer the two scarves to be similar or very different before they are produced. Similar scarves are generated from the same rule with a different starting seed row, while different scarves are knit from different rules.\n\nEach scarf is 7 inches wide by 75 inches long (17.78 cm wide by 190.5 cm long).

Leiweke will assist with day-to-day management and coordination between departments, serving as a conduit between Goodell and those departments. In many respects, Hicks and general counsel Jeff Pash previously served as that conduit between the commissioner and the various departments he supervised.

Though she pored over the page, she could not read a single word outside of her own name, the date, and the words \"thank you.\" In explaining her difficulties, Ms. Jeantel, a 19-year-old rising senior at Miami Norland High School, claimed, \"I can't read cursive.\"\n\nThe heartbreaking spectacle of Ms. Jeantel being unable to read her own words in this highly publicized murder trial—an admission that could damage the credibility of this critical witness—brought tears to my eyes.

Directors of the program, which distributes $265 million annually to 1,600 researchers, stated that new measures unveiled on Thursday would help address the chronic underrepresentation of women, Indigenous people, individuals with disabilities, and visible minorities among the award's recipients. Currently, only 28 percent of chairholders at large universities are women, and they are more likely to hold positions in the program's lower funding tier.\n\nUnder the new rules, postsecondary institutions have until December 15 to create an action plan detailing how they will achieve greater diversity among their candidates. They will then have an additional 18 to 24 months to ensure that the demographics of the award recipients reflect the demographics of the eligible academic pool.\n\nUniversities are now being warned that failure to meet these equity targets within the specified timeframe could result in the loss of their research chairs. \"We believe that progress has been made, but we think it could be made much faster,\" said Ted Hewitt, president of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and head of the Canada Research Chair steering committee.\n\nAcademics are nominated for these positions by their universities, which receive an allotted number of chairs from the government based on the institution's size. The program is one of the federal government's most prominent tools for attracting and retaining top academic talent in Canada. However, for most academics, research chairs represent a milestone achieved far along in their careers. Dr. Hewitt noted that addressing diversity earlier in academic careers will require more effort from universities and provinces, but he believes the program's new rules will inspire broader changes. \"We are doing what we can through this federal program,\" he said. \"We believe this might have a broader effect on the ecosystem.\"\n\nScience Minister Kirsty Duncan, who had a long career in research before entering politics, implemented changes last year to a more elite version of the program, known as the Canada Excellence Research Chairs. This update required competing institutions to submit diversity plans along with their applications. Ms. Duncan hinted last week that new measures were in development for the larger program when she addressed a gathering of university presidents in Montreal, admonishing them for not doing enough to address the issue. \"When I became Minister of Science, I made it clear that I expected the universities to meet the equity and diversity targets that they had agreed to meet a decade ago,\" Ms. Duncan said in an interview on Thursday. \"For the most part, they've failed to do so.

For 20 years, the Rockies never won a baseball game. They played over 3,200 games and lost every single one. It defied logic, reason, math, religion, and life. It was the craziest streak in sports, and when it finally ended on June 22, 2037, it felt like we lost one of America's most insane storylines.

It was looking like a pretty good season; the Rockies sat 21 games over .500 at that point. Then, the losing started.\n\n\"In hindsight I guess we could've seen it coming,\" former Rockies player Pat Valaika told me. I met with Pat in the new restaurant he just opened, \"Pat's Steaks.\" It is pretty good.\n\n\"Jeff gave up that nine-run inning, we shrugged it off. That's how baseball is sometimes, you know? But then it just kept coming.\"\n\nThe Rockies lost their next 89 games to finish 2017 with a 47-115 record.\n\n\"At a certain point it just became a joke to even us,\" Valaika said. \"How in the world could this keep happening?\"\n\nLosing 89 straight games was the first defiance of logic in this historic streak. Eventually, it went from bad play to bad luck to acts of God.\n\nFormer Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich could not fathom that the losing streak could keep going.\n\n\"We thought, 'OK, 89 losses to end the season—that's just terrible.' But it's a new year, a new chance,\" Jeff told me.\n\nThe Rockies lost all 162 games in 2018.\n\n\"By June of that year we thought, 'are we cursed?'

I mean, it was an over 300-game losing streak by that point. How could he not?\" Bridich recalled. \"We had a priest, we had voodoo, we had some guy who advertised on Facebook that he had killed 20 demons with his bare hands. It was insanity, but we were on the brink.\"\n\nIn 2020, Bridich was fired.

Although this has not been as significant an issue in Canada as it has elsewhere, we need to implement these regulations now. In the United States, loose lending practices, including subprime and predatory lending, were major contributors to the 2007 financial crisis.

Despite the massive amount of content and huge aspirations, it never saw a Western release. Despite being limited to Japan, the Wii version alone sold over 700,000 copies and remains active with a subscription service. Including copies released on other platforms, Dragon Quest X should be considered a commercial success, with over one million units sold and a very active player base. While the game may look better on the Wii U or Switch, there is no denying that Dragon Quest X on the Wii is a masterpiece of working within limited hardware. So let's dive into how they made this thing work, and how close we came to never getting a chance to emulate it.\n\nSquare Enix heavily collaborated with Nintendo on this title to make the impossible a reality. As such, not only does Dragon Quest X rely on many obscure internal features of the Wii, but some features had to be added to the Wii Internal Operating System (IOS) exclusively for this game. This list of features shares a lot in common with what a Dolphin developer in 2008 might write when coming up with a list of \"Features that will be a total pain in the ass.\"\n\nAs Dragon Quest X connects to both Nintendo's infrastructure over HTTPS and to Square Enix's servers, a complete implementation of IOS's network functionality is required to get online. Fortunately, Dolphin has had support for connecting to the Wi-Fi Connection since the exact day Nintendo announced when the WFC servers would be going down. While emulation back then wasn't nearly good enough to accomplish what is needed for Dragon Quest X, the foundation was solid enough to handle most network functionality, and much of the code remains intact to this day. Without all of that done while the servers were still up, there is a good chance Dolphin never gets any online support. These days it may seem par for the course to try to emulate everything, but back then Wii Networking seemed like a pipe dream. It is still incredible to have footage of Dolphin playing alongside real Wiis in games like Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl from before the shutdown. It may not have lasted long, but Dolphin on the official Wi-Fi Connection was glorious.\n\nCompared to some of the stuff that would follow, these achievements would seem like par for the course, but back then, luxury features like this weren't the name of the game. Wii Networking's initial implementation hasn't actually changed much; improvements since then have mostly come from better emulation elsewhere and a better understanding of how the Wii works in general.\n\nUnlike most other titles, Dragon Quest X requires proper Wii System Menu functionality to even have a chance of getting into the game. Dragon Quest X is a very special title. While most games don't care about the IOS version, both the installer and the online updater will check for it and refuse to work if the system software is too old. In fact, not only do they check whether the IOS is installed, they will even make sure the revision is new enough. This behavior is so unique that it even caught developers off guard, as they tried to figure out why the installer would mysteriously fail.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4222, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c5b9a8f53504da1b196d38f43ea7e814130b9437", "raw_chars": 3497, "clean_chars": 3495, "edit_ratio": 0.0003, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject area) who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.

Munger.\n\nWhen asked his secret to success, Warren Buffett – the most successful investor of all time – held up a stack of papers and replied: “[You] read 500 pages like this every day.

Truth be told, I did have time to read, but like everyone else who uses that excuse, I simply mismanaged my time.\n\nI would check my Facebook and Twitter accounts on my commute; I would stream movies in bed, and I’d mindlessly browse online when I could’ve been reading… When I should’ve been reading.\n\nEventually, I invested in an Amazon Kindle in the hope it would encourage me to read more.\n\nAnd it did.\n\nSoon, I found myself reading more than I had ever done before. Not just because I’d bought a Kindle, but because I stumbled upon a new system for reading. That approach is a simple formula I decided to commit to:\n\nRead 10% of a book every day.\n\nThat’s it.\n\nA System for Reading More Books\n\nSince obeying this self-imposed rule, I’ve also developed a three-step system for reading more and recording what I learn as well.\n\nThe system is as follows:\n\nCreate an inventory of books you’d like to read (Here’s a great list) Choose a book to read (and Highlight what you find interesting) Archive your notes for easy reference\n\nLet’s look at each step in more detail.\n\nStep 01.

After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a following in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village, such as Sin-é, gradually focusing more on his own material. After rebuffing much interest from record labels and his father Tim Buckley's manager Herb Cohen, he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, Grace, in 1994.\n\nOver the following three years, the band toured extensively to promote the album, including concerts in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia. In 1996, they stopped touring and made sporadic attempts to record Buckley's second album in New York City with Tom Verlaine as producer.\n\nIn 1997, Buckley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to resume work on the album, to be titled My Sweetheart the Drunk, recording many four-track demos while also playing weekly solo shows at a local venue. On May 29, 1997, while awaiting the arrival of his band from New York, he drowned during a spontaneous evening swim, fully clothed, in the Mississippi River when he was caught in the wake of a passing boat; his body was found on June 4.\n\nSince his death, there have been many posthumous releases of his material, including a collection of four-track demos and studio recordings for his unfinished second album My Sweetheart the Drunk, expansions of Grace, and the Live at Sin-é EP. Chart success also came posthumously: with his cover of Leonard Cohen's song \"Hallelujah\" he attained his first number one on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs in March 2008 and reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart that December.

His mother was of mixed Greek, French, and Panamanian descent, while his father was the son of an Irish American father and an Italian American mother. Buckley was raised by his mother and stepfather, Ron Moorhead, in Southern California, and had a half-brother, Corey Moorhead. Buckley moved many times in and around Orange County while growing up, an upbringing Buckley called \"rootless trailer trash.\" As a child, Buckley was known as Scott \"Scottie\" Moorhead based on his middle name and his stepfather's surname.\n\nHis biological father, Tim Buckley, was a singer-songwriter who released a series of highly acclaimed folk and jazz albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and whom, he said, he only met once, at the age of eight. After his biological father died of a drug overdose in 1975, he chose to go by Buckley and his real first name, which he found on his birth certificate. To members of his family he remained \"Scottie.\"\n\nBuckley was brought up around music. His mother was a classically trained pianist and cellist.

In the earlier phases of this project, we only had a three-month contract, so we didn't have as much freedom to think big. Now we are unchained. We have been given the green light to continue developing NS2, and it looks like we will be able to do so for at least another six to nine months.\n\nIn the past, the goals we communicated were more focused on discrete metrics: player retention, the number of concurrent players, and the number of copies sold. But those are just tools to measure our progress. Our aim for NS2 has always been larger than what those metrics encompass.\n\nOur goal is to reinvigorate the game and bring about a new golden era for NS2 gaming, and in doing so, to contribute to UWE's overarching goal of uniting the world through play.\n\nBut how can we achieve that? Our current Trello boards give a good view of what we are working on, but they are focused only on the short term. Enter the Roadmap.\n\nRoadmaps are used for communicating a high-level plan and the general prioritization of large features. The first thing you may notice about our roadmap is that there are no dates on it. This is because it is not meant to be a promise as to when a feature will be completed, but it is a useful tool to communicate what we want to achieve and the order in which we think we will be able to achieve it.\n\nOur roadmap is also not an inclusive list of everything we plan to work on. It focuses only on the large features and does not include work we will continue to do on balance, gameplay, bug fixing, performance improvements, stability, data collection, and much more. Between every patch, we are also looking for quick wins—tasks which will give large payoffs relative to the amount of time that would need to be invested. These are tasks where the amount of work required is very small compared to the amount of value they produce for the community.\n\nThere are many things we could highlight from our roadmap, but I will just highlight one: converting the engine to 64-bit. This is something we have said in the past is likely never happening, until the fates conspired and it is now actually become a possibility.\n\nWe are very excited about the potential that all these features will bring to the game. I am sure this roadmap will inspire even more questions than the number of answers it may provide. This is why we have decided to write this post and unveil our roadmap before recording a Q&A video.

A number of industrial estates were identified, including those in the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, and the Beribi industrial estate, followed by the construction of factories focusing on furniture, pottery, tiles, cement, chemicals, plywood, glass, textiles, food, and electrical goods. However, Brunei’s push for industrialization came forty years late; Singapore had already undertaken such efforts in the 1950s. By the 1990s, wages in Brunei were already considered too high, the industrial base too limited, and the technological edge too low to compete with larger neighboring states in terms of scale and cost. Moreover, bureaucratic difficulties, poor coordination between government departments, and lengthy approval processes deterred foreign investment, meaning the country could not count on foreign multinationals to help develop sectors outside of the oil industry.\n\nBrunei began a period of state-led construction and initiated a huge number of ambitious projects, leading to a construction boom aimed at diversifying from an oil-reliant economy to one oriented toward services and tourism. Restrictions on foreign workers were temporarily relaxed to allow large-scale projects and landmarks to be constructed, including a theme park, a magnificent hotel, and a huge power plant. Then, in 1998, the Asian financial collapse wiped out almost half of Brunei’s foreign reserves. This crisis destroyed the domestic construction industry. The theme park was shut down and has since been dismantled, and unskilled foreign laborers were sent back home, leaving the economy with over 90% of its production still related to oil revenues.\n\nDuring the 1990s, Singapore was classified as a Newly Industrialized Country and was widely recognized as the third most important financial hub in Asia, behind Hong Kong and Tokyo. The government actively pursued land reclamation initiatives, literally pushing the ocean back. Throughout the decade, Singaporean businesses surged from holding a 23% share of output in 1983 to 55% of the economy by 1998.\n\nThe financial crisis hit Singapore hard as well, but the government acted swiftly to minimize the damages felt by the populace. Rather than going back on their word and interfering with private markets, they sponsored multiple construction projects and finished their metro system. Less than a year after the collapse, Singapore was back on track and ready to invest in the rest of the world. The government signed thirteen free trade agreements with countries around the globe, and Singaporean interests ended up becoming major investors in countries like Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia.\n\n2000s", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4240, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "50ac7a35312296386d054763b7e1ab62022a46d1", "raw_chars": 2071, "clean_chars": 2134, "edit_ratio": 0.1605, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"I loved Metro before everything changed,\" Nguyen said, noting that her trips seemed to take longer because the buses were so crowded after the system changed, even though her commute to and from work along Bellaire Boulevard was exactly the same.\n\nShell jobs shift looms\n\nThough optimistic, transit officials recognize that challenges remain, particularly for downtown park-and-ride usage.

Markey joined Representatives Anna Eshoo of California and John Conyers Jr. of Michigan in a letter urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to closely scrutinize any promised benefits of the merger. The lawmakers warned that the fusion of the firms would represent a \"troubling backward step\" for public policy.\n\nRepresentative Conyers, one of the most outspoken critics of the merger in Congress, acknowledged that AT&T is the only unionized wireless carrier but maintained that the DOJ and the FCC must reject the proposal to protect consumers. In response, an AT&T spokesman stated that the company is preparing new economic and engineering models to provide greater detail on the promised benefits of the deal. These models aim to demonstrate how combining the two networks will increase service and network capacity for customers while reducing costs.\n\nAT&T general counsel Wayne Watts emphasized that the facts demonstrate enormous benefits for consumers and the public. He cited better service, including fewer dropped calls and faster speeds, as well as an improved overall customer experience and expanded mobile broadband access for more Americans. The FCC noted that the new submissions are expected to be complex, prompting the agency to pause the 180-day review clock until it has time to examine the additional evidence. This delay is not expected to last more than a month or significantly slow down the review process.\n\nIn a statement to The Hill, AT&T expressed that it was not surprised the FCC would take the necessary time to thoroughly understand their detailed submission, which they planned to provide the following week. The company did not expect this delay to adversely impact the timeframe for approval of the transaction. Both the FCC and the DOJ are currently reviewing the deal. The DOJ can sue to block it under the Clayton Antitrust Act, while the FCC can launch an administrative proceeding if it decides the merger is contrary to the public interest. The FCC also has the option to approve the merger outright or with conditions, similar to those attached to the NBC Universal-Comcast merger the previous year.\n\nOpponents argue that no conditions regulators could impose would prevent the deal from stifling competition in the wireless market. Sprint spokesman John Taylor noted that AT&T caught most stakeholders by surprise when it announced the merger on March 20. He suggested that the telecom giant's formidable presence in Washington helped create a sense of inevitability around the transaction. However, Taylor emphasized that the issue would be handled by law enforcement rather than legislation, and he claimed that a flurry of lobbying on the merger has only served to raise more questions.\n\n\"I think what you're seeing on Capitol Hill among staffers following telecom issues is that as they have learned more about this transaction, they have more questions,\" Taylor said. \"As they get more answers, they like this deal less and less.\" Sprint has significantly ramped up its lobbying efforts in opposition to the deal.

Bedford was ousted in a preselection challenge by Health Minister and right-wing powerbroker Jack Snelling, who shifted from the neighboring seat of Playford after a boundary redistribution moved approximately 17,000 of his electors into Florey. This change transformed Florey from a marginal seat with a 2.6 per cent margin to a safe seat with a 9.2 per cent margin.\n\nFacing overwhelming rejection in a succession of party ballots, Bedford withdrew from the contest earlier this month but, as InDaily revealed, has been considering her options as an independent candidate. Bedford confirmed to parliament this afternoon that she would resign from the ALP \"in all conscience and on matters of principle,\" lamenting that Snelling's \"hostile takeover, under the guise and cover of the boundary redistribution, removes an acknowledged hard-working local sitting MP – primarily because the seat is no longer marginal.\"\n\nBedford is a left-winger but is not a member of the influential Progressive Left Union and Sub-Branches faction that comprises the minority shareholder in Labor's factional duopoly. \"As someone who has chosen to remain factionally unaligned, any influence on the centrally-controlled decision-making has been taken from me,\" Bedford said in a statement sent to InDaily. \"I say to the faceless men who have taken this course of action that it is the voters – not you – who will choose the next Member for Florey.\"\n\nShe added, \"I bear no ill-will to anyone in the parliamentary Labor caucus, however this is a warning to them all that things have irrevocably changed.

His office turned the format into a polished performance worthy of a touring Broadway show. He gave the same script every time. The same aide introduced him. He tossed the jacket the same way to the same aide. The crowd was often stacked. “If you’re going to give it, you’re going to get it back,” he warned would-be hecklers at every event. They were all filmed. But for all that, they never felt inauthentic: Christie would leave voters in tears with stories about his tough-knuckled mother on her deathbed, his friend who died of overdoses, his emotions after Sandy.\n\nOn policy, Christie was both hard-nosed and pragmatic. He capped property taxes in a notoriously high-tax state. He cleaned up a budget mess left by his disgraced predecessor, Gov. Jon Corzine. He persuaded Stephen Sweeney, a burly ironworker’s union official who leads the state Senate, to make a compromise on pensions that would require unions to pay more.\n\n“He came to my union office and we sat down the second day,” Sweeney recalled. “And his comment to me, are we going to get anything done, or do what is always done and fight? He wanted to get things done, and so did I.”\n\nAt the time, New Jersey’s pension system was among the most underfunded in the country, and Christie’s predecessors didn’t pay. (Christie also has a checkered record—while paying more than his predecessors, he also skipped some payments.) Stile, a sometimes fierce critic of the governor, said, “The time of practically skipping and significantly shorting the pension system has pretty much stopped. It went on for 15 years leading up to him. He deserves credit for that.”\n\nChristie also made dramatic gestures signaling he was a different kind of Republican—as when he appointed a Muslim judge, Sohail Mohammed, to the bench and loudly defended him against sharp attacks on his religion. Liberals applauded.\n\nHe won praise for restructuring the state’s medical colleges. He showed particular interest in the impoverished city of Camden, forging an alliance with Democratic Mayor Dana Redd and pushing new charter schools far and wide.\n\nPerhaps more than anything, there was Superstorm Sandy. When the storm walloped New Jersey and left billions in damage, it may have been Christie’s shining moment back home. He was everywhere, all the time, for months, surveying devastated towns, destroyed wastewater systems, broken bridges, flooded streets and funerals. He greeted President Obama as a hero in a famous embrace, even though for years, his aides ferociously denied it was an actual hug.\n\nAides say the storm’s aftermath was when Christie was the sharpest, the most unhealthy and the most stressed out. He would convene daily meetings and schedule calls after midnight. Trekking across the state, he became seen as a New Jersey everyman, profane and gruff, devastated and jubilant, in the muck and on the television.\n\nIt felt like however people must have felt about Bill Clinton in Arkansas in 1991.

The Star-Ledger sent a photographer down the shoreline in a private plane and snapped pictures that went viral on the internet. Children made Halloween costumes of Christie on the beach.\n\n“Could you imagine that I could see the long lens?” Christie said, asked if he knew the plane was carrying a photographer to snap pictures of him. “Of course not.”\n\nEven so, Christie insisted he didn’t regret the shoreline excursion. He had worked the rest of the day, and had promised his children and their friends a vacation for months on July 4 weekend.\n\nNothing made his longtime circle angrier than the beach.\n\n“There have been so many times I wanted to pummel him,” one longtime aide said. “I would have pummeled him in the face that day.” Another called his decisions “completely and totally fucking inexplicable.”\n\n“Those things became distractions,” said Mike DuHaime, his top political adviser. “They were bigger distractions than anyone anticipated.”\n\n“He overreached often,” Drewniak said. “He would get his blinders on and just be incredibly stubborn.” He added: “I don’t regret working for him.

He raised record amounts of cash for the RGA and helped win more than 30 gubernatorial races. He could still make national headlines anytime he wanted.\n\nChristie entered the presidential race in June 2015 at his New Jersey high school. “I saw a path, but we were under no illusions about how difficult it was going to be,” DuHaime said. “And none of us saw the Trump phenomenon coming.”\n\nChristie and his team knew he had little chance in Iowa and South Carolina, so they cast their lot in New Hampshire, where, it was thought, his ideological pragmatism and skill at retail politics would be huge assets. Drawing on the playbook that had worked so well back home, Christie crisscrossed the state in a bus and held more than 100 town halls. He was able to secure more endorsements than any other candidate. There were a number of times it looked like he had momentum: He won the coveted Union-Leader endorsement. A clip of him talking about opioid addiction went viral.

He only asked to go off the record twice.\n\nBefore I saw him, Christie was meeting with Phil Murphy, the incoming governor and a former Goldman Sachs executive who cast much of his campaign as a referendum against Christie. The New Jersey press corps no longer had much interest in Christie; instead, they were clamoring outside in the cold to meet his successor.\n\nChristie no longer holds court from his sprawling governor's office. He closed the State House for repairs earlier this year and is serving out his final days from a makeshift fifth-floor office in a drab, gray government building. One of his spartan walls features a lonely \"Born to Run\" Springsteen poster. A large sign on the streets of desolate Trenton notes where you can find Christie when he is there.\n\nHe wasn't in a bomb-throwing mood about Murphy and seemed to be still sizing him up, looking for weaknesses. \"I have no way of knowing,\" he said when asked if Murphy was prepared for the job. \"But I'm sure he'll be ready and he'll be fine by Inauguration Day. He's a little overwhelmed now.\"\n\nHis tight circle of aides is no longer with him. Many have been gone for years. Christie often keeps his own schedule and trusts his own counsel above all.

Russia has often backed China in U.N. Security Council negotiations, but during the Obama administration it was far less engaged on North Korea than China was. Xi's government, meanwhile, had appeared prepared to begin taking a more assertive stance on the reclusive nation.\n\nThe recalibration serves a common goal that regional experts say is central to both Russian and Chinese foreign policy — loosening American alliances around the globe.\n\nFormer diplomats are split over the significance of the sudden chumminess. Robert Gallucci, the chief U.S. negotiator during the North Korean nuclear crisis of 1994, called it “unsettling” but “not catastrophic in any way.” He characterized the surprise sync as two nations seizing an opportunity to undercut the U.S.-Japan-South Korea alliance — not a herald of a new era of coordinated policy against the United States.\n\nBut some regional policy experts fear that a united Sino-Russian front on North Korea could make it more difficult for the U.S. to rein in Pyongyang’s burgeoning nuclear program.\n\n“The fact that Moscow and Beijing are using virtually identical language and are very united at this time I think will provide great comfort to Kim Jong Un,” said David Pressman, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for political affairs who now works at the Boies Schiller Flexner law firm.\n\nRegional experts across the board argue that China is a critical partner in applying the kind of pressure needed to rein in the rogue and increasingly dangerous state. If China, backed by Russia, decides to ease restrictions on North Korea, it could complicate efforts by the Trump administration to impose costs on the country for its nuclear program.\n\nWithout unity among the five major countries involved in dealing with North Korea — the U.S., China, Russia, South Korea and Japan — “North Korea is simply going to keep going,” said Danny Russel, who served as senior Asia director at the National Security Council under former President Obama.\n\n“We know from experience that North Korea has successfully operated in the gaps between the U.S. and China/Russia,” Russel said.\n\nBut while Russel said there might be a “tightening of coordination” between Moscow and Beijing, he sees little to suggest “a new threshold of collaboration between socialist brothers.”\n\nAdam Mount, a senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress, is more concerned by Tuesday’s coordinated message.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4276, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "413f54fef06ea47a607caa6b064ceba0921b8a06", "raw_chars": 3231, "clean_chars": 3202, "edit_ratio": 0.548, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The New York Post ran a provocative headline: \"Obama campaign accepted foreign web donation – and may be hiding more.\" However, this story appears to be more nuanced than it initially seems. To understand the details, we must look closer.\n\nA watchdog group alleges that the Obama re-election campaign accepted at least one foreign donation in violation of the law and failed to verify the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions. Chris Walker, a British citizen living outside London, told The Post that he successfully made two $5 donations to President Obama's campaign through its website, while a similar attempt to donate to Mitt Romney was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens.\n\nOn the surface, this sounds alarming—Obama accepting donations from England. However, reading further reveals important context regarding this specific donation.\n\nWalker stated that he used his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state along with the Schenectady, New York, ZIP code 12345. \"When I did Romney's, the payment got rejected on the grounds that the address on the card did not match the address that I entered,\" he said. \"Romney's website wanted the code from the back of the card. Barack Obama's didn't.\"\n\nIn this instance, Mr. Walker was intentionally entering distorted information, mixing an American-looking address with a non-matching American ZIP code, even though the payment originated in Europe. He was apparently conducting a \"test\" of both campaigns—a test that Romney passed. This is hardly equivalent to accepting European donations with open arms. Nevertheless, it highlights an equally serious problem with the Obama campaign's payment processing system. This is an important distinction that any professional campaign should have addressed to avoid violating the law. The Daily Caller provides further explanation.\n\nThe upcoming Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report suggests that the Obama campaign is allowing fraudulent donations because the president is not employing proper safeguards against them. The GAI leaves open the possibility that the campaign \"may have experienced data-collection problems,\" but argues that \"given the Obama campaign's technological sophistication, the fact that the campaign consistently reports higher amounts of erroneous data month-to-month casts doubt on that explanation.\" The report states, \"A robust anti-fraud address verification system (AVS) would require an accurate zip code to process a credit card transaction.\" It continues, \"The presence of large sums of donations without such basic address information suggests that some campaigns are using looser security settings than others.\" The GAI explains that an AVS system \"compares the numerical portion of the address a donor enters to the numerical information on file with the credit card company for the card.\" It adds, \"For example, most pay-at-the-pump gas stations require customers to enter their zip code. Enter the wrong zip code or none at all, the transaction is denied.\" Finally, the GAI notes that when a political campaign uses such an AVS system, it is \"invisible to outsiders.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4284, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8514ca9066941548f527b0e960b3321f07a45702", "raw_chars": 2357, "clean_chars": 2527, "edit_ratio": 0.6618, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Obsidian Entertainment, the renowned RPG developer behind titles such as Knights of the Old Republic II, Fallout: New Vegas, and South Park: Stick of Truth, has partnered with Paradox Interactive to market and publish its Kickstarted project, Pillars of Eternity.\n\nAt first glance, the collaboration between the two companies might seem unexpected. Obsidian Entertainment is based in Irvine, California, and is celebrated for its role-playing games, while Paradox Interactive, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is known for grand strategy titles like Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings. Despite their differing genres and geographic locations, Paradox CEO Fredrik Wester and Obsidian Studio Head Feargus Urquhart highlighted significant common ground during a special press conference at GDC 2014, leading to their announcement of a partnership for Pillars of Eternity.\n\nUnder the terms of the agreement, Obsidian will utilize the $4 million raised through Kickstarter to fund the game's development, while Paradox will invest its own capital to handle marketing and distribution. \"We are partnering up with some awesome world-class developers,\" Wester stated. \"We are hoping this is a long-term relationship as we have a lot in common with the Obsidian guys.\"\n\nUrquhart echoed the sentiment, noting, \"We are fans of Paradox games. We couldn't have done what we are doing without our backers. Publishers look at $500,000 games and $20 million games, and Pillars of Eternity fell in the middle.\"\n\nThe two CEOs emphasized that this arrangement is strictly a business partnership. Paradox will not be involved in the development or design of the game, nor will Obsidian hand over any of the Kickstarter funds to Paradox. Instead, the partnership relieves Obsidian of the burdens associated with marketing, press relations, trade shows, and distribution logistics. This allows Urquhart and his team to focus entirely on creating Pillars of Eternity, while Paradox manages the business aspects, including Kickstarter fulfillment.\n\nParadox will naturally earn a percentage of sales once the role-playing game is released on digital marketplaces like Steam. Wester is described as a businessman rather than an altruist, making the financial arrangement clear.

Voters deserve to know who is spending money on politics and elections, and how that spending influences our representatives. This law dramatically improves transparency and cracks down on special interest gifts to state officials. It also closes lobbying loopholes. Legislators are supposed to represent their constituents, not special interests and lobbyists. The Act prevents our politicians from trading on their government connections to land high-paying lobbying jobs. Furthermore, it enforces the law. Politicians and special interests should not be above the law. The Act rebuilds trust between voters and politicians by ramping up the state's ethics laws and imposing heavier penalties on those who break them. South Dakota needs to prevent corruption. A recent State Integrity Investigation report gave the state an F grade on corruption risk, ranking it 49th out of 50 states. Let's demand more from our government.\n\nAnother group, South Dakotans for Integrity, is also pushing for this initiated measure, IM 22. Their website features a similar list of points: under current law, South Dakota is the only state in America where lobbyists can give unlimited gifts to politicians. IM 22 stops unlimited gifts from lobbyists to politicians, requires more transparency so we know who is buying influence in South Dakota, and toughens ethics law enforcement to investigate lobbyists and politicians for breaking the rules. Probably the best advocate for IM 22 is Cory Heidelberger over at the Dakota Free Press, who has produced a five-minute video explaining the benefits of the measure.\n\nOn the other side, the group pushing against IM 22 is Defeat22.com. Their website includes several bullet points arguing against the measure. They claim that politically connected special interest groups are up to no good and that Measure 22 will allow big spending politicians to take millions of taxpayer dollars and send it to political campaigns, forcing citizens to fund political TV ads and intrusive automated calls. They argue it funds even more wasteful government spending and takes tax dollars away from funding roads, bridges, and schools. Additionally, they claim it forces citizens to add their name to a government database and opens them to harassment for making voluntary donations to charitable causes. They characterize Measure 22 as another government money grab to fund political campaigns using taxpayer dollars.\n\nThe Defeat 22 campaign has been very active in the last few weeks. The author notes receiving more press releases from that group than any other ballot question committee. Most of their campaign hinges around the use of taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns, and as the election season goes on, the author expects this group to become even more vocal.\n\nRegarding the author's initial thoughts on how to vote, the Con section above is kept relatively short because the author already knows they are going to vote No on IM 22.

If this were a bill in the legislature, it should be split into at least four bills, if not more. This isn't the main reason I oppose IM 22, but since I feel one topic per bill is good for the legislature, I feel the same standard should apply to initiated measures. It is too bad, there are parts of the bill I feel are good, but cannot be supported because of how IM 22 is packaged. In particular, I think the Ethics Commission is a good idea. Yes, the state had tried this before and had problems with it being used as a political weapon. But I think we as a state can find a solution to previous problems with an Ethics Commission.\n\nThe second, and main reason, I oppose IM 22 is because it uses taxpayer dollars. $12,000,000 taken out of the general fund and giving it directly to politicians just does not sound like a conservative use of taxpayer dollars. People are already free to contribute money directly to candidates if they feel it is important to do so. With so many priorities in state spending, I just don't see why $12,000,000 would be set aside to be given to politicians. Plus, I don't really see how giving politicians direct access to spend taxpayer dollars on their campaigns is going to reduce corruption? The use of taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns in IM 22 is probably what will rightfully kill this bill on the ballot.\n\nFinally, it is worth noting that the reporting requirements for campaign donations get completely out of hand. Yes, it is good to know the sources for campaign donations. But the amount of detail IM 22 would require of donors gets quite intrusive. Actually, the reporting and database requirements of IM 22 seem downright Orwellian. I really don't think South Dakota needs to head down that path.\n\nI plan to vote No on IM 22 and expect it will fail on the ballot this fall. But, I could be wrong about IM 22 failing. There are a lot of people who rightfully believe something needs to be done about corruption in South Dakota politics. I don't think this will fix any corruption, but if enough people believe IM 22 is the answer to corruption, I could see IM 22 being passed into law.

The cross-training and trail-style shoe will come in three colors: black with blue accents, black with orange accents, and crimson red with black accents.\n\nSalient Discs owner Chris Kilgus showed us a preview of the DGX last week and says a lot has gone into the planning and development of the shoe. \"We began testing an athletic shoe back in August 2013, originally announced as the DG Spec 1. Since this time, we have had the opportunity to test different materials and designs for durability and aesthetics. Initial testing was very promising and included a one-piece flat sole that gave great durability. However, what we added in durability with a flat one-piece sole, we lost in comfort and overall grip. Therefore, over the past few months, we decided to change to a two-piece sole, which gave the shoe added comfort as well as grip on and off the tee box.\"\n\nThe DGX will be offered in a variety of sizes in a standard width. Wider widths will not be offered at this time. According to Kilgus, this has a lot to do with the price of the product. \"The market does not allow a large variety of sizes and widths due to the fact that every size requires a different size sole to be used, which would increase the cost of the shoes.\"\n\nThe DGX features a full upper made of water-repellant oxford fabric, with an interior waterproof urethane coating to help keep moisture away. The lower section uses napa leather and suede for side-to-side blowout protection, while a synthetic polyurethane toe box provides front-foot stability. The shoe also includes a durable torsion control sole for added stability on and off the fairway, a stiff rear midsole for heel stability, and neutral arch support for easy foot conformity.\n\nFor Kilgus, one of the most exciting parts about this release is that the DGX is the first shoe made by a 100% disc golf company. \"Our main focus is providing quality products to disc golfers instead of dividing our time among other shoe products or rebranding an already existing product,\" he says.\n\nThe DGX will be manufactured overseas in order to keep pricing affordable. Initially, pre-orders will only be available at Salient-Discs.com. Shoes will run $80 plus shipping for one pair and $135 plus shipping for two. Once items have a firm delivery date, which Salient says they will know 30 days before they arrive, the DGX will be available from multiple online affiliates. Once the pre-order is complete, the MSRP of the DGX will be $90 to $95 plus shipping.\n\nSome might see it hard to pre-order a product like a disc golf shoe before they have ever seen one in action. In our minds, this is basically a Kickstarter or crowd-funded-like pre-sale. Because of the capital needed to get these shoes out at a price that is affordable for many, putting the money up front is what is needed. Without a pre-sale like this, prices would be higher, and quite frankly, products like this wouldn't be produced. There is a market for it, but it is a niche market.\n\nKilgus knows that while you can invest in a disc or a bag and expect it to last for years, that just isn't the case with a shoe.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4321, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b5bd26868879cb35862af2a053f21928e05e5736", "raw_chars": 797, "clean_chars": 761, "edit_ratio": 0.6457, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "My Plates' Auctions offer Texans a unique opportunity to purchase a coveted selection of reserved and sometimes never-before-released license plate messages.

However, a new study suggests that there is one challenge they are well-positioned to weather: the rise of automation.\n\nIndeed.com reached this conclusion by analyzing job seeker interest in occupations that are at high risk of automation. The study found that millennials could be protected from this trend because they are simply not interested in occupying the jobs that robots are likely to take over. Millennials, defined in the study as those aged 20 to 36, showed greater interest than Baby Boomers and Generation Xers in \"non-routine cognitive\" jobs, such as management and professional positions, which are considered to be at low risk of automation. By contrast, millennials were the least interested among the three generations in \"routine manual\" jobs in industries like construction, production, and transportation. This category includes many roles that are highly susceptible to automation, and Baby Boomers were found to be 54 percent more likely to express interest in these areas.\n\nIndeed.com gauged millennial interest by narrowing down job search activity to several major occupational categories. The data indicated that millennials had more interest in \"higher-skilled and non-routine occupations\" that are \"less likely to face replacement by automation.\" In fact, only three of the 15 occupations preferred by millennials were routine occupations. Baby Boomers were more likely to favor routine occupations, such as transportation and material moving, production, or installation, maintenance, and repair. Generation Xers showed a preference for construction and extraction, as well as management roles.\n\nAccording to Indeed.com, \"Millennials are much less keen on occupations at high-risk of automation than other generations,\" making them \"better situated to ride out the disruption that will likely be caused by the coming waves of automation.\"\n\nIndeed.com’s study is not the first to examine millennials’ relationship with workplace automation. The Deloitte 2017 Millennial Survey found that this generation recognizes the benefits of automation in terms of economic growth and productivity. However, they remain concerned that it could eliminate jobs that might otherwise be available to them. Their primary concern, though, is the risk that automation could make workplaces more sterile, \"impersonal,\" or \"less human.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4344, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d8d0031fa7442e9e3ea995415c1bb68b392c962f", "raw_chars": 1961, "clean_chars": 1871, "edit_ratio": 0.6425, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Afghan President Hamid Karzai stated that an assassination attempt against the country's spy chief originated in Pakistan.

Until now, the Obama administration has been reluctant to broker such a deal with the Germans, who have publicly expressed interest in a nonspying pact. This reluctance stemmed partly from the concern that other nations would demand a similar arrangement. However, the revelations of recent days have so strained relations between Washington and Berlin that this calculus appears to be changing. This shift is especially evident because American officials have difficulty making a credible case for what the United States gains from spying on senior German officials.\n\nIn the past, there have been questions about what the United States might gain from entering into a no-spying pact with the Germans. Several years ago, Dennis C. Blair, then the director of national intelligence, held discussions with French officials about such an agreement between the United States and France. He believed such a pact could yield practical benefits, such as allowing the FBI and other counterintelligence organizations to shift the few resources used in trying to hunt down French spies inside the United States to more productive assignments. Mr. Blair made the proposal despite the fact that the French are believed to have had an active program of industrial espionage inside the United States, working vigorously to steal American technological secrets. Current and former American intelligence officials said that the Germans are far less aggressive inside the United States than the French.\n\nAdministration officials say the National Security Agency, in its push to build a global data-gathering network that can reach into any country, has rarely weighed the long-term political costs of some of its operations. Whether to make those kinds of reciprocal agreements with allies is among the questions two different administration reviews of NSA spying practices hope to address. One review is being run inside the National Security Council. Another is under way by five members of an outside review panel created by Mr. Obama after the disclosures by Mr. Snowden. Among its members are Richard A. Clarke, who served in the Clinton and both Bush administrations and has become an expert on cyberconflict; Michael J.

This de facto nationalization of the largest US motor manufacturer would be part of a massive debt-for-equity swap as GM seeks to shed $44 billion of its $62 billion in crippling liabilities owed to the government, trade unions, and bondholders.\n\nHowever, the plan was condemned last night as \"neither reasonable nor adequate\" by bondholders, who would receive only a 10% stake in the company, forcing them to write off billions of dollars. Existing shareholders would be left with just 1%.\n\nWith its future hanging in the balance, GM delivered a stark warning that unless its creditors accepted the plan, it would declare bankruptcy and leave the courts to restructure the company. Chief Executive Fritz Henderson told a press conference at the company's headquarters, \"If this cannot be accomplished out of court, we'll go into court and restructure GM under bankruptcy if it's necessary.\"\n\nAs it struggles to stay afloat, GM has deepened cuts that will include 23,000 job losses by 2011, the closure of 16 of its 47 factories in the US, and a 42% drop in the number of dealers selling its vehicles. The company also announced it was shutting down its 83-year-old Pontiac marque as it slimmed its portfolio of brands to focus on just four names in the US: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC. The gas-guzzling Hummer and Sweden's Saab would either be sold or closed by the following year, but GM made it clear that Britain's Vauxhall brand was not under threat.\n\nSumming up the company's predicament, Henderson described the situation as \"difficult, challenging and painful.\" \"None of us like this situation we're in, but it's our job to do something about it,\" he said. \"We need to have a more stable and sustainable business model because, candidly, we only want to do this once.\"\n\nA tough-talking GM veteran, Henderson has led efforts to rescue the company since the Obama administration replaced his predecessor, Rick Wagoner, the previous month. GM and its smaller rival, Chrysler, are teetering on the brink of collapse and are struggling to convince the government to extend further financial support. \"The task at hand in terms of what we need to get done is formidable,\" Henderson said. \"But it can be done.\"\n\nUnder the company's plan, the US Treasury and the United Auto Workers' union would receive 89% of the company between them. In return, the government would write off half of the emergency lending extended to GM by US taxpayers. The union's shares would replace the billions of dollars that were to be pumped into a trust fund to cover employees' healthcare.\n\nGM has offered a 10% stake to bondholders, who are owed $27 billion—a difficult proposition to accept. For each $1,000 of loan notes, bondholders would receive 225 shares, worth little more than $550 at today's market price.\n\nThe Obama administration insisted that private-sector creditors should receive no more than this slim return, demanding that unions and taxpayers receive the lion's share of the company.

What were the challenges getting started?\n\nMy parents were skeptical at first. They wanted me to study. But reasoning goes a long way and most of all parents want you to be happy with what you do in life, so eventually my parents came to accept that it was what I wished for. To me there would be little point in going to University if I wasn't motivated for it.\n\nAs for how it is to get started ... it's a bit different. I had just moved to a new city, knew only a few people, and just quit uni before making any close friends. The result was spending months in solitude, sometimes I'd go days without talking to people in person and sometimes it would be a bit awkward to interact with people again. It's more of a funny thing though. Even if I was mostly alone I was happy and I had good flatmates to talk to.\n\nThere were very few challenges getting started. Playing full-time from an apartment is a very simple and peaceful existence. I did well in planning out my financial situation carefully beforehand and it all worked out. I didn't expect to make big money to begin with. When you start off as a pro-gamer it's all about putting yourself in a stable and comfortable position where you can let go and give it your all for a given time and then re-evaluate.\n\nThroughout the first half of 2012, you only achieved one notable result, winning the ONOG Invitational. Did you ever think of quitting?\n\nNo. I had so many things going on and I always had competitions to look forward to, I wanted to do my best in every one of them. While I didn't show top placings it was simply because I was not supposed to do so yet. Backing down was never an option to me despite the lack of notable results.\n\nYou are known among your stream viewers for your work ethic, can you describe the practice you put in throughout 2012?\n\nI guess it would all sum up to self-diagnostics, self-observation and targetted elimination of critical errors and weaknesses while slowly building a stronger fundamental understanding of the game. In the beginning of the year I'd judge myself, point out mistakes, find the biggest one of them and eliminate them one at a time. It was a very simple, meticilous, but also slow approach.\n\nAt the start of 2012 I would still win games with tricks, mindgames, opponent-tailored strategies, all-ins and blind counters, abusing multitasking and micro rather than focusing on strong fundamental understandings of the matchups. It gave me a bit of success, but I could also not keep up in a lot of situations. I remained open to things, I knew that I had a lot to learn, and I tried my best to understand the game better. It took a very long time, but I managed to readjust and improve. Especially the time in the Ministry of Win and Korea afterwards added to my skill in the areas I lacked.\n\nThe part that changed the most in the later parts of 2012 was the mental aspect which truly allowed me to take advantage of the accumulated experience. I've always been very self-judgemental. In practice it would encourage me and act as a reminder, but it also backfired on my self-esteem.

The most critical factor is to utilize intelligence resources and Special Operations troops aggressively, while avoiding traditional military operations. In Iraq, it is important to engage ISIL using the resources of the Peshmerga fighters from the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) and any reliable units within the Iraqi Army. Peshmerga commanders are aggressive, hard-fighting troops with longstanding relationships with CIA officers and Special Forces operators. However, they will need continued U.S. personnel to serve as advisors and strategic planners, as the new generation of Peshmerga commanders is largely untested in traditional combat. With this U.S. aid, the Kurdish troops can inflict a real defeat on ISIL.\n\nOnce we engage ISIL, as we have now done in a limited manner, we and our allies must carry on until they are driven back and suffer a tangible defeat. Anything less will be perceived by other fighters in the region, including Libya, Lebanon, and Jordan, as an American defeat. However, if we provide advisors, planners, and increased close air support for the Peshmerga, these soldiers can defeat ISIL. This will give the new Iraqi government a chance to organize itself and restructure the Sunni resistance in Syria, shifting the center of power toward moderate forces like the Free Syrian Army (FSA). In addition to air support, the Peshmerga need artillery and armored vehicles to deal with the tanks and other heavy equipment captured from the Iraqi army by ISIL.\n\nIn the past, the U.S. government, in an agreement with the Turkish General Staff, did not provide such heavy weapons to the Peshmerga out of concern that they would end up in the hands of Kurdish rebels inside Turkey. The current situation in Iraq, not to mention the political environment in Turkey, makes this policy obsolete. Furthermore, this equipment can now be airlifted directly into the KRG zone.\n\nArmed with proper equipment and working with U.S. advisors, the Peshmerga can attack ISIL with a coordinated assault supported from the air. This effort will come as a surprise to ISIL, whose leaders believe we will always stop with targeted bombing, weakening them in both Iraq and Syria. At the same time, we should return to plans to provide the FSA, or some group of moderate forces, with equipment that will allow them to deal with a weakened ISIL and conduct stepped-up operations against the Syrian regime. This entire effort should be conducted with a low profile, avoiding the massive traditional military operations that are at best temporary solutions.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4373, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "60a1f2b0f9a0a5d93f22f5f575850e63c853d4ba", "raw_chars": 3293, "clean_chars": 3146, "edit_ratio": 0.1729, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "After more than 2,000 suggestions were submitted, Rowland Hill selected the method and printer, working through trial and error to achieve the desired result. He chose Perkins, Bacon & Petch, a firm of bank-note printers, to execute the work using the process of steel engraving. The design featured the head of the Queen as engraved by William Wyon for a special medal struck to celebrate Her Majesty's official visit to the City of London in the year of her coronation.\n\nThe stamp was originally intended for use only within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, effectively making it a local stamp. For this reason, the name of the country was not included in the design, a practice that continued by agreement with foreign post offices provided the sovereign's effigy appeared on the stamp. Envelopes sold with postage paid did not include this effigy, so they were marked with the country's name. In 1951, a special commemorative issue for the Festival of Britain included the name \"Britain\" incidentally. It could therefore be said that the name of the country appeared for the first time on a UK stamp then, although the word \"British\" had appeared on British Empire Exhibition commemorative stamps in 1924.\n\nAfter the stamp was in circulation, it became obvious that black was not a good choice of color, as cancellation marks were hard to see. From 1841 onwards, the stamps were printed in a brick-red color. The Penny Reds continued in use for decades, with about 21 billion being produced.\n\nThe Victorian age saw an explosion of experimentation. The inefficiency of using scissors to cut stamps from the sheet inspired trials with rouletting, known as the Archer Roulette, and then with perforation, which became standard practice in 1854. In 1847, the octagonal 1 shilling stamp became the first of the British embossed postage stamps to be issued, followed by 10d stamps the following year, and 6d values in 1854.\n\nSurface-printed stamps first appeared in the form of a 4d stamp in 1855, printed by De La Rue, and subsequently became the standard type. Halfpenny and penny halfpenny engraved stamps issued in 1870 were the last engraved types of Queen Victoria; the next would not appear until 1913. Surface-printed stamps of the 1860s and 1870s all used the same profile of Victoria, but featured a variety of frames, watermarks, and corner lettering.\n\nA 5-shilling stamp first appeared in 1867, followed by 10 shilling and £1 values in 1878, culminating in a £5 stamp in 1882.\n\nMeanwhile, the age of the Penny Reds had come to an end along with the Perkins Bacon printing contract. The new low values were also surface-printed: first was a penny stamp colored Venetian red in a square frame, issued in 1880. However, the passage of the Customs and Inland Revenue Act 1881 necessitated new stamps valid also as revenue stamps, so the Penny Lilac was issued that year, inscribed \"POSTAGE AND INLAND REVENUE\". This stamp remained the standard letter stamp for the remainder of Victoria's reign, and vast quantities were printed.

We’ll do our best to coordinate with the entire Xbox Game Studios family to ensure we have broad representation of opportunity within all of our studios. We’ll be ready to share more about our open positions, our product plans, and our development culture with you. Dinner and parking on us.

These designs were relatively plain, featuring low values in lilac and high values in green, simply because those were the only colours available at the time. The experiment succeeded in its intended purpose: relatively few of the stamps survived actual usage, as their colours faded away when the stamps were soaked from envelopes. However, the public did not appreciate them.\n\nThe last major issue of Victoria was the \"Jubilee issue\" of 1887, a set of twelve designs ranging from 1/2 d to 1s, most printed in two colours or on coloured paper. Although issued during the Jubilee year, they were not issued specifically for the occasion and are thus not considered commemoratives.\n\nWhen Edward VII succeeded to the throne, new stamps became necessary. The approach was very conservative; however, most of the Jubilee frames were reused, and the image of the King remained a single profile. Edward's reign was fairly short, and there were no major changes of design as a result. Chalk-surfaced paper was introduced during this time. This type of paper can be detected by rubbing the surface with silver, which leaves a black mark.\n\nBy contrast, the stamps of George V were innovative from the very first. The first issue made was of the 1/2 d and 1d values, which were in the same colours as used in the previous reign. Although the main design feature remained the same—a central ellipse for the portrait, an ornamental frame, value tablet at the base, and a crown at the top—a three-quarter portrait was used for the first time. However, subsequent designs reverted to the standard profile.\n\nThe UK's first commemorative stamps were issued for the British Empire Exhibition in 1924. The pair of large-format stamps featured a lion in an imposing stance. They were issued twice, in 1924 and then in 1925, with the stamps of each year being inscribed with the year of issue. A second set of commemoratives in 1929 marked the 9th Congress of the Universal Postal Union (UPU), held in London that year.\n\nFollowing the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, responsibility for posts and telegraphs transferred to the new Provisional Government. Upon the formal independence of the Irish Free State in December 1922, it was then transferred to the Free State Government. An early visible manifestation of this change was the repainting of all post boxes green instead of red, plus the overprinting of British postage stamps prior to the introduction of Irish stamps. A Postmaster General was initially appointed by the Free State Government, being replaced by the office of Minister for Posts and Telegraphs in 1924.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4396, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "fa6bf2b95f711ae2df679e55c2a8e35a91eb234b", "raw_chars": 569, "clean_chars": 569, "edit_ratio": 0.9033, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Midair is a classic mode designed for quick, low-pressure games.

This is precisely why Germany needs to stay the course in Afghanistan.\n\nThe number of casualties in Afghanistan is growing, and so is the number of Germans opposed to the war. Although more and more Germans are calling for their troops to be withdrawn from Afghanistan, doing so would be a mistake.\n\nThe fact that a majority of Germans are against the war is hardly surprising. Who, after all, is an enthusiastic advocate for war? Furthermore, the fact that the majority opposes something is not much of an argument in itself. The majority of Germans were against expanding the European Union, and the majority currently oppose financial aid for Greece. Nevertheless, both policies remain sensible courses of action.\n\nThere is one thing, at least, that everyone can agree on: war is terrible. It is dirty, it kills and maims, and it can turn people into killing machines. War should only be viewed as a last resort. But sometimes, as in the case of Afghanistan, it is necessary. Much is at stake, even if it is not primarily about democracy and human rights. Those values are in danger in many countries, and Germany does not send its soldiers there. German Chancellor Angela Merkel acknowledged this herself with remarkable candor in a speech she delivered before the Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament.\n\nThe primary goal of the war is to create stability in Afghanistan and to prevent the country from once again becoming a retreat for terrorists, which would further destabilize the entire region. That is the West's interest in this war, and it is a goal that justifies the victims who have been lost there. No one can guarantee that the West will achieve its goal in Afghanistan. But one thing can be said for certain: this is the wrong moment to pull out. For the first time since the Taliban fell in 2001, the coalition has a coherent strategy for Afghanistan. The plan is to fight the Taliban on its own turf and on a massive scale. At the same time, NATO wants to give a boost to the process of civil development by protecting the population more.\n\nAs one American colonel put it, the basis of the strategy is that Western soldiers should \"eat, drink and die\" alongside their Afghan colleagues. Rather than staying holed up in their fortified camps, they should go out into the villages and help build up local infrastructure. In doing so, the soldiers may become targets. And though it may be a dangerous strategy, it is one that might actually work.\n\nIn Iraq, the United States showed it was possible to turn around what looked like a hopeless situation. It did this by adapting its approach to realities in the country. Of course, there is no guarantee that the same approach will work in Afghanistan. But there is too much at stake not to give it a try. And it would be negligent to declare that the strategy has failed before it has even been implemented.\n\nIndeed, even if the West succeeds, the results won't be especially pleasant. It will be necessary to come to terms with the Taliban, and there may well be war criminals among the country's new rulers. Of course, it is hard to communicate these realities to people. But the ability to explain uncomfortable truths is what distinguishes a statesman from a politician.\n\nWould withdrawal really stop the bloodshed?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4409, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "938f76c84c604cce4ae8af43394a6ddb08b51d45", "raw_chars": 987, "clean_chars": 988, "edit_ratio": 0.0997, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Automakers are preparing for the decline of car ownership in urban areas.

Please keep spreading the word, and together we can make Reflex a reality!\n\nFor today's update, we thought we would give you a quick overview of some of the game modes we have planned.\n\nDuel: \"A prearranged contest with deadly weapons between two people in order to settle a point of honor.\" With no one to carry, duel in Reflex is the ultimate test of your timing, movement, aim, positioning, and item control. Luck will not save you, and the best player always wins.\n\nDeathmatch: One of the most chaotic but extremely fun modes. You will be thrown into an arena with between three and eleven hostile players. Shoot anything that moves and gain an advantage with one or more of the six planned power-ups. The winner is whoever can hit the frag limit first.\n\nTeam Deathmatch: A mode all about teamwork and item control. The strongest team will be the one that keeps the tightest hold of key items such as armors and power-ups. Our development focus for this mode is to reward intelligent team play, making it more than just \"Don't shoot the blue guys.\"\n\nCapture the Flag: Get into the enemy base, grab their flag, and get it back to your base. It would be easy if there weren't people trying to kill you. Attacking players will find the most advantage through their mastery of movement, while defending players will benefit from precise aim and good control of their base resources. Sudden death CTF overtimes are the closest I have come to a game-induced heart attack.\n\nArena: A round-based mode in which players spawn with all weapons and good armor, ditching control and timing for 100% combat. This mode can be played either as a 1v1 or with as many team members as you can cram into a map. The victor will be the team with the fastest reflexes, tightest aim, and best sense of fight or flight.\n\nControl: Gain points by taking and holding key areas. The more control points you hold, the faster your team's score will increase, but the thinner you spread your defenses. Grab some items and gank an enemy point, fighting off a constant barrage of players who dare attack your point.\n\nFlag Control: A violent game of hide and seek. Players spawn in an arena with a single flag and gain points for as long as they can hold on to it without being turned into giblets. If you have ever participated in an extended fight over a power-up, this is that, all match.\n\nRace: The mode of choice for pacifists. Compete with other players to set the fastest time through an obstacle course full of trick jumps. It is a good place to hone your movement skills and maybe one day claim a new world record time.\n\nJuggernaut: A team must work together to take down a single, highly buffed opponent. Manage to take down the juggernaut, and you will become the juggernaut, allowing you to enjoy the immense satisfaction of repeatedly stomping an entire enemy team all by yourself.\n\nFreeze Tag: Players are frozen instead of fragged, and points are gained by icing all members of the opposing team. Players can thaw out their teammates to prevent the other team from scoring.

Submissions will be accepted across six categories: plants of ABDSP; desert bighorn sheep of ABDSP; animals (not sheep) of ABDSP; landscapes of ABDSP; people enjoying ABDSP; and black & white photos of ABDSP. All photos must be taken within the boundaries of the park, and the deadline for digital submissions is 12 p.m. on December 1. Contestants can submit up to 10 photographs for the contest, across different categories.\n\nAccording to the competition rules, judges will conduct an initial review of the submissions and choose approximately 200 photos to move onto the next round. Those photographers will then have to submit a printed version of their work, along with a $5 entry fee. Judges will conduct a final review of the prints in early 2018.

Just before the season began, NBC 7 spoke with Ernie Cowan, president of the Anza-Borrego Foundation (ABF), about the blooming process, and he said it was \"all coming together.\"\n\nCowan said the western edges of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the Badlands, are a well-known wildflower zone, as well as Henderson Canyon Road and Di Giorgio Road.

Now their project may face a similar fate to WikiLeaks': crippling attacks by the financial institutions of the country they have embarrassed.\n\nEarlier this month, Tchobanov and Yordanov's news outlet, Bivol.bg, which publishes documents from their WikiLeaks-like leak site BalkanLeaks, received a letter from Bulgaria's central bank threatening to fine the news organization for publishing \"false information and circumstances\" that undermine the \"reputation and credibility\" of four Bulgarian banks. These banks filed a complaint with the government, and a violation could carry penalties of up to 150,000 Bulgarian lev ($100,000).\n\nThe offending information, according to the banks, is a U.S. State Department cable obtained by WikiLeaks and published by the two Bulgarian journalists. The cable details alleged money laundering and corrupt practices within the Bulgarian finance industry. The leaked 2006 memo outlines U.S. Ambassador John Beyrle's claims that eight \"bad apple\" banks in the country were participating in money laundering, often for the mob, as well as making bogus loans to connected companies that were never repaid.\n\n\"Banking and financial authorities are aware of the most notorious banks and claim to be working hard to draft legislation and regulations to bring practices in line with Western norms... However, a number of domestic banks apparently manage to escape strict scrutiny,\" Beyrle's report reads, before launching into a detailed description of each bank's alleged mafia ties and criminal practices.\n\nIncluded among those eight are Bulgaria's First Investment Bank, Corporate Commercial Bank, Investbank, and Central Cooperative Bank, all of which are participating in the complaint against Bivol. Bivol says it gave the banks a chance to respond before publishing the cable, but none of the four now filing the complaint had any comment.\n\nThe potential $100,000 penalty for publishing that cable, according to Bivol and BalkanLeaks founder Atanas Tchobanov, would be far greater than the total assets of his tiny media outlet. \"It's an enormous sum,\" says Tchobanov. \"It will ruin us.\"\n\nTchobanov argues that the banks' move to penalize him and his partner Yordanov represents political punishment for exposing evidence of the banks' corruption. \"If there's any criminal case, the authorities should investigate criminal money laundering.

We can even use what amount to variables to hold these values.\n\nFor example, we might refine our current makefile as follows:\n\nGeneral Purpose Makefile Template:\n\n# the compiler to use\nCC = clang\n# compiler flags:\n# -g adds debugging information to the executable file\n# -Wall turns on most, but not all, compiler warnings\nCFLAGS = -g -Wall\n# files to link:\nLFLAGS = -lcs50\n# the name to use for both the target source file, and the output file:\nTARGET = hello\nall: $(TARGET)\n$(TARGET): $(TARGET).c\n$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(TARGET).c $(LFLAGS)\n\nAs we can see in the above, we can make assignments to each of the capitalized variables, which are then used in forming the command (notice that once again, the actual command is preceded by a tab in the highlighted line).

If you have your editor set to convert tabs to spaces, Make will not recognize the all-important Tab character in front of the command, because, well, it's not there.\n\nFortunately, there is a workaround.

We had two heaters installed as supplemental heat in a north-facing bathroom in New Mexico at high altitude. They performed as expected, heating the room two to three degrees above the central heat to keep the bathroom cozy in the early morning and at night in December. We are satisfied with the performance. The third unit was installed in a spare bedroom on the north side. It also heated the room two to three degrees above the central heating system, which is a radiant floor heating system in our house. After a month of use, one of the bathroom units developed a hairline crack. It does not appear to interfere with the function and is barely visible. It may shorten the lifetime of the unit, but for now, there is no problem. The installation was done by a professional, as we are not handy. He had no problem and did the work quickly. The units look nice and are out of the way, effectively replacing space heaters.\n\nRated 4 out of 5 by pdb1: \"Simple, good-looking solution.\" After reading through all the reviews, I decided to purchase three of these for areas of the house that were not well heated, particularly a couple of bathrooms that had no heat. In terms of performance, they do about what I expected of convective-type heaters: plug them in and leave them on. These heaters work well for smaller rooms, like a bathroom. One of them developed a crack and stopped working. I contacted the company by phone and left a message. The product manager phoned me back the same day. I explained what happened and emailed him some photos. He thought it must have been damaged in shipping, and then the heating and cooling cycles made the crack larger, which eventually breached the heating element. He immediately sent a warranty replacement.

I looked at oil-filled radiators, which are very efficient, but wanted something with a low profile that could be wall-mounted not far from an outlet (it comes with six feet of cord). At 400 watts, it is the equivalent of four 100-watt incandescent light bulbs, but produces far more heat. I read the safety instructions, such as not placing it under furniture or near drapes, but it is safe for pets and children. It was easy and fairly quick to mount; I only needed to cut down one of the four plastic insulated spacer mounts because our older plaster wall was not perfectly even. We did experience the \"new\" chemical smell, but with continuous use, the smell was gone within 48 hours. An added bonus is that you can paint this to match the wall. It is simple and aesthetically pleasing, and it does not draw attention to itself. This is by far the best we could find until something better comes along. And the price (before the electric bill) is superb compared to more expensive oil-filled wall-mounted radiators that take up more space.

Valerie Jarrett, who has been a family friend for years ever since she hired Michelle Obama to work in Mayor Daley’s office, says, 'He’s always wanted to be President.' Michelle Obama is now an executive at the University of Chicago Hospitals. 'He didn’t always admit it, but oh, absolutely. The first time he said it to me, he said, 'I just think I have some special qualities and wouldn’t it be a shame to waste them.' I think it was during the early part of his U.S. senatorial campaign. He said, 'You know, I just think I have something.''\n\nObama recalled in Ames, 'Some people who knew of my activism in the community asked me would I be interested in running for that office. And so I did what every wise man does when confronted with such a decision: I prayed on it, and I asked my wife.' It remains to be seen how well Obama adapts himself to campaigning. It doesn’t come altogether naturally to him. Late last year, when he was thinking about whether to run, friends asked him if he was ready for a fight, if the thought got his adrenaline going, and he would say, 'Yes—but I don’t know if I want the hassle.' That’s not something you imagine somebody embarking on a Presidential campaign saying—not wanting the hassle. 'But that’s why he’s so likable,' a friend says. 'That’s the quality people are seeing in him, they’re seeing how campaigning could be a grind.'\n\nDavid Axelrod, Obama’s chief campaign adviser, notes, 'Bill Clinton was far more into the tactics of politics. He was a voracious consumer of polls. Of course, he was so indefatigable that he could do that and still read four books a week and be President of the United States. You wouldn’t hire Barack to run your campaign. You might hire Bill Clinton to run your campaign.' This is not the only difference between Obama and Clinton. To compare them is to see that a political natural, as both of them are called, can mean very different things.\n\nRobert Putnam observes, 'Bill Clinton has preternatural ability as a listener. Everybody always walks away from him thinking, For the first time in my life someone has actually listened to me—that man Bill Clinton is the first person in the world to really understand me. It’s almost magical—even Newt Gingrich said something like, Every time I meet him I feel like I have to go rinse my mind out for an hour. Barack is not that good.' Putnam’s is a common reaction; it seems to be a response to Clinton’s passionate political drive, his hunger, the need he is said to have to make everybody love him. Some of this quality, in a more restrained, sublimated form, is present, too, in Hillary Clinton—in her intense desire to win people over, in her exhaustive preparation, in her willingness to give everything she is capable of for every single vote. This is not Obama’s style at all. He doesn’t seem hungry. He seems to like people but not to need them. When most politicians speak to a crowd, they give the impression that that is what they live for; Obama at town-hall meetings appears engaged but not fervently so, as if there were several other things that he would be equally happy doing that day.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4461, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "97fd2a5abff6698f97154c24bfcd54ea45842fed", "raw_chars": 1450, "clean_chars": 1484, "edit_ratio": 0.2188, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "WASHINGTON, D.C. – As winter storm Jonas barrels into the East Coast, a small group of soldiers will remain guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, despite the harsh weather.\n\nSince April 1948, soldiers from the Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment’s \"The Old Guard\" have guarded the Tomb 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of the conditions.

He believes that as long as PC gamers have a good way to control combat, they will enjoy the game.

While he acknowledged the strengths of the loot system, he pointed out that it does not clearly communicate what each stat does. He suggested that a more detailed tutorial system explaining the stats and their functions would be beneficial, along with more unique armor variants, which could serve as good material for sequels or downloadable content.\n\nWhen asked about bugs and whether gamers have the right to expect bug-free games at launch, Chapman offered a nuanced view. He described a \"rose-colored glasses\" effect, suggesting that older games were just as buggy as modern ones, but players are more attuned to spotting flaws today. He recalled playing old PC and Nintendo games that were full of bugs. The main difference, he explained, is the increased complexity of core game technology. In older 2D games, a bug might be fixed with a few lines of code, whereas in modern 3D games, a bug could involve complex interactions between the animation system and the renderer. With so many layers involved, catching every bug is extremely difficult.

He was quick, slick and confident, which is going to cause problems for some members of the 185-pound weight class.\n\nWhile Hester had a nice winning streak before he crossed paths with Whittaker, he’s yet to defeat any competition that will prove he can be a long-lasting member of the UFC roster.

The RAND study says that the cost of gender transition treatment for transgender service members would be relatively low, meaning relative to total military expenditure on health care. However, a closer look at the numbers in the study reveals that the health care costs of transgender individuals who choose to undergo gender transition treatment in the military would be some 14 times higher than the average health care costs of service members in general.\n\nThe study estimates that between 29 and 129 transgender service members in the active component of the military would choose to utilize transition-related health care annually. The mid-range estimate is 79 individuals per year. Given that the total active component population of the military in 2014 was 1,326,273, that means about 0.006 percent of service members could use gender transition-related health services. The RAND study estimates that the annual cost of such services would be as low as $2.4 million and as high as $8.4 million, based on different assumptions about the relative prevalence of transgenderism within the military and between men and women. That represents a 0.04 to 0.13 percent increase in active-component health care expenditures, RAND concludes. The mid-range estimate for that increase would be 0.085 percent. Therefore, 0.006 percent of service members would be responsible for a 0.085 percent increase in costs, meaning a transitioning service member's medical bills would be 14 times the average.\n\nThere are large categories of people who are excluded from military service because of medical conditions, such as asthma, that are cheaper and easier to treat than transgender-related health issues, both physical and mental.\n\nAs for the question of morale and cohesion, the RAND study is explicit about some of the issues that the military would encounter, such as the need to screen for additional mental health issues and the problem of recovery from gender-transition surgery. RAND notes that it may not be possible to deploy transgender service members, stating that other countries with transgender service members have found that, in some cases, it may be necessary to restrict deployment of transitioning individuals to austere environments where their health care needs cannot be met.\n\nThe RAND study noted that other countries had not experienced problems with unit cohesion and transgender service members. However, it noted that they do not have direct survey evidence or other data to directly assess the impact on the U.S. military.

Some have recognized the swell and raised the alarm, while others deny the possibility of such a wave. Most remain blissfully unaware. When this wave reaches our shores, it will hit with the force of a tsunami.\n\nThe wave is propelled by government spending and crested with unfunded pension obligations. According to a February 2010 report by the Pew Center on the States titled \"The Trillion Dollar Gap,\" a $1 trillion gap exists between the $3.35 trillion in pension, health care, and other retirement benefits states have promised their current and retired workers as of fiscal year 2008, and the $2.35 trillion they have on hand to pay for them.\n\nLike any tsunami, the wave began long ago and very far out to sea. Thirty years ago, the vast majority of union workers were in the private sector. Public employees in unions reached parity with private sector members by 2009. This shift was aided in part by campaign contributions from unions to elect Democratic Party candidates, as well as generous pay packages and retirement plans passed by those same politicians in return.\n\nBy 2010, the general public received a series of shocks. The first shock was the jobless recovery of the Great Recession, which cost 8 million jobs. Most of the job losses occurred in the private sector, yet the majority of the $800 billion Stimulus Bill went to \"save and create\" public sector employment. The second shock was learning that civil servants earned twice that of private workers. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, federal workers received average pay and benefits of $123,049, while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation. The third shock was the revelation of incredible retirement plans doled out by politicians since 1999. In 2002, California passed SB 183, which allowed police and safety workers to retire after 30 years on the job with 3% of their salary for each year of service, or 90% of their last year's pay. During the Great Recession, firefighters began retiring with $150,000 pensions at age 52, despite a life expectancy approaching 80. In Orange County, California, lifeguards, deemed safety workers, retired with $147,000 annual pensions. The Orange County sheriff, recently convicted of witness tampering, will receive $215,000 annually while in jail. Bob Citron, the Treasurer of Orange County who pushed the county into bankruptcy in the 1990s, receives a pension of $150,000 per year. A tsunami of anger and resentment is building.\n\nAs the wave approaches, economists issue thick reports with ominous names like \"The Gathering Storm\" from the Reason Foundation, advising us that the pension obligations we have created are unsustainable. They report that cities and states cannot economically allow workers to retire at 52 when they have a life expectancy of 26 years of retirement. They simply cannot pay for these pensions with existing revenue. Services will go down and taxes will go up to pay for these generous pension obligations. Orange County's CEO, Thomas G. Mauk, predicted that pension requirements in 2014 would take 84% of the county's law enforcement payroll. It is already 50% today. To exacerbate the problem, the Great Recession forced most states into budget deficits as their revenues declined.

And then after the film I’m tired, and you maybe have to change your shape again and go back to your normal size for the next film. To go from one extreme to another has a cost. I haven't damaged my body, but I'm certainly a bit achier than I used to be! I kind of miss it.\"\n\nBack in 2011, Hardy said that he planned to put on about 30 pounds to play the Batman villain. Still, he makes it clear that, even with all the added pounds put on to play Bane, he is still not in the same body-transformation league as his Dark Knight Rises co-star, who is famous for having radically shed weight for The Machinist and gained weight for American Hustle.\n\n\"Compared to Christian Bale, I've been by no means extreme in my body changes, but for what little I've done, yeah, I certainly have joints that click that probably shouldn't click, you know what I mean?

It managed this influence even after its leader and founder, Robert Welch, denounced President Dwight D. Eisenhower as a \"dedicated, conscious agent\" of that same Communist apparatus. Right up to the defeat of Barry Goldwater in 1964, and despite the efforts of conservatives like William F. Buckley Jr. to dislodge them, the Birchers remained a feature of conservative politics well beyond the crackpot fringe.\n\nNow, here is the difference. Glenn Beck has not even been encouraging his audiences to reread Robert Welch. Instead, he has been inciting them to read the work of W. Cleon Skousen, a man more insane and nasty than Welch. Skousen was such an extreme figure that, ultimately, even the Birch-supporting leadership of the Mormon Church had to distance itself from him. It is from Skousen's demented screed, The Five Thousand Year Leap, that Beck takes all his fantasies about a divinely written Constitution, a conspiratorial secret government, and a future apocalypse. Beck wrote a foreword to a new edition of this book and shoved it to the number one position on Amazon.\n\nTo give you a further idea of the man: Skousen's posthumously published book on the \"end times\" and the coming day of rapture was charmingly called The Cleansing of America. Another book of his with a less repulsive title, The Making of America, turned out to justify slavery and refer to slave children as \"pickaninnies.\" Writing at a time when the Mormon Church was under attack for denying full membership to black people, Skousen defended it from what he described as a \"Communist\" assault.\n\nSo, Beck's \"9/12 Project\" is canalizing old racist and clerical toxic-waste material that a healthy society had mostly flushed out of its system more than a generation ago, and injecting it right back in again. Things that had hidden under stones are being dug up and re-released. And why? So as to teach us anew about the dangers of \"spending and deficits\"? It is enough to make a cat laugh. No, a whole new audience has been created, including many impressionable young people, for ideas that are viciously anti-democratic and ahistorical. The full effect of this will be felt farther down the road, where we will need it even less.\n\nI remember encountering this same mentality a few years ago, when it was more laughable than dangerous. I didn't like Bill Clinton; I thought he had sold access to the Lincoln Bedroom, lied under oath about sexual harassment, and possibly even bombed Sudan on a \"wag the dog\" basis. But when I sometimes agreed to go on the radio stations of the paranoid right, it was only to be told that this was all irrelevant. Didn't I understand that Clinton and his wife had murdered Vince Foster and were, even as I spoke, preparing to take advantage of the Y2K millennium crisis to seize power for life and become the Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu of our day?

Although the sun's rays have been touted as a clean energy solution since Jimmy Carter first installed photovoltaic panels on the White House roof in 1979, solar remains barely a blip in the U.S. power market. In 2012, solar power provided a mere 0.11 percent of U.S. electricity generation, according to the Energy Information Administration, a government agency. By comparison, coal delivered 37 percent, natural gas 30 percent, nuclear 19 percent, and wind 3.5 percent. That solar percentage includes utility-scale projects, such as the large solar farms in California and Nevada that feed into the electricity grid, as well as distributed solar.\n\nDistributed solar could disrupt the de facto monopoly long held by regulated utilities.\n\nThe solar industry is growing fast, and much of this growth comes from distributed solar built \"behind the meter\"—on commercial and residential rooftops. Here, electricity generated by solar panels eliminates the need for power that would otherwise be generated and sold by utilities. Last year, nearly 90,000 businesses and homeowners installed rooftop solar projects totaling about 1.15 gigawatts, roughly the amount generated by a large coal plant. That represented a 46 percent growth over 2011, according to the Solar Electric Power Association. By the end of last year, the number of customer-sited photovoltaic systems in the U.S. topped 300,000, the association says.\n\nMost industry experts expect that growth to accelerate as prices for solar continue to fall, eventually reaching a point where rooftop solar costs less than the retail price of grid-delivered electricity. According to a Citi Research report, solar is already cheaper than electricity at the plug in several states, including Arizona, and in many countries, including Germany and Spain, where solar subsidies are generous. Last month, Jon Wellinghoff, the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, told GreenTechMedia that \"solar is growing so fast it is going to overtake everything... It could double every two years.\"\n\nNo wonder utilities are nervous.

The discovery was presented as further evidence that slaves did not build the ancient monuments.\n\nThe series of modest, 9-foot-deep shafts held a dozen skeletons of pyramid builders, perfectly preserved by the dry desert sand along with jars that once contained beer and bread meant for the workers' afterlife. The mud-brick tombs were uncovered last week in the back yard of the Giza pyramids, stretching beyond a burial site first discovered in the 1990s. The site dates to the 4th Dynasty (2575 B.C. to 2467 B.C.), when the great pyramids were built on the fringes of present-day Cairo.\n\nThe ancient Greek historian Herodotus once described the pyramid builders as slaves, creating what Egyptologists say is a myth later propagated by Hollywood films. Graves of the pyramid builders were first discovered in the area in 1990 when a tourist on horseback stumbled over a wall that later proved to be a tomb.\n\nEgypt's archaeology chief Zahi Hawass said that the 1990 discovery and the latest finds last week show that the workers were paid laborers, rather than the slaves of popular imagination. Hawass said the find sheds more light on the lifestyle and origins of the pyramid builders. Most importantly, he said the workers were not recruited from slaves commonly found across Egypt during pharaonic times. Hawass said the builders came from poor Egyptian families from the north and the south, and were respected for their work. Those who died during construction were bestowed the honor of being buried in the tombs near the sacred pyramids of their pharaohs.\n\nTheir proximity to the pyramids and the manner of burial in preparation for the afterlife backs this theory, Hawass said. \"No way would they have been buried so honorably if they were slaves,\" he said. The tombs contained no gold or valuables, which safeguarded them from tomb-raiders throughout antiquity. The skeletons were found buried in a fetal position — the head pointing to the West and the feet to the East according to ancient Egyptian beliefs, surrounded by the jars once filled with supplies for the afterlife.\n\nThe men who built the last remaining wonder of the ancient world ate meat regularly and worked in three-month shifts, said Hawass. It took 10,000 workers more than 30 years to build a single pyramid, Hawass said — a tenth of the workforce of 100,000 that Herodotus wrote of after visiting Egypt around 450 B.C. Hawass said evidence from the site indicates that the approximately 10,000 laborers working on the pyramids ate 21 cattle and 23 sheep sent to them daily from farms.\n\nThough they were not slaves, the pyramid builders led a life of hard labor, said Adel Okasha, supervisor of the excavation. Their skeletons show signs of arthritis, and their lower vertebrae point to a life passed in difficulty, he said. \"Their bones tell us the story of how hard they worked,\" Okasha said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4553, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "5bf015cbdf4c21efd6ea50cb374633153fe0d76d", "raw_chars": 2543, "clean_chars": 2288, "edit_ratio": 0.2296, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Previous solar eclipse studies have found that ionospheric densities at lower altitudes, specifically the D and E regions between 60 and 150 kilometers, deplete rather quickly. Conflicting results have been reported for the F region, which spans altitudes from 150 to 600 kilometers. This region is more affected by plasma transport processes than by photoionization. Typically, it has been reported that these conditions allow for better radio wave propagation at lower frequencies, specifically below 10 MHz, during an eclipse, as absorption in the D and E regions disappears during this time.\n\nImportant open questions refer to the spatial and temporal scales of eclipse ionospheric effects. Eclipse totality affects only a narrow region of the Earth's atmosphere, on the order of a few hundred kilometers, for time periods of less than ten minutes. However, previous observations suggest that ionospheric effects are much larger and longer-lasting than might be expected. Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate this phenomenon. Figure 3 shows the F2 region peak critical frequency (foF2) over Chilton, England, during a total solar eclipse on August 11, 1999.

The measured values depart from the expected values from 0800 to 1200 local time, a duration much longer than the less than ten minutes of totality.\n\nThe decrease in the observed foF2 from the IRI model over a long period coincides with the partial obscuration of the solar disk.

Martin illustrates his concern with a hypothetical scenario: \"a 45-year-old man who’s been married for 20 years, who has a fling and panics and gets tested, and is told that he should try PrEP, he’s going to be asked to be prescribed Truvada.\" In such cases, Martin warns, patients might be \"condemning a person who should not be taking it to forever having to take this pill.\"\n\nIn contrast, the Los Angeles LGBT Center's video asserts that Truvada can be as safe as aspirin. This claim references a Buzzfeed article citing a new study which found that \"people who take Truvada, the once-a-day pill that prevents HIV, are no more at risk for dangerous side effects than those who take an aspirin a day to prevent heart attacks.\"\n\nFurthermore, the bill does not mandate that providers prescribe PrEP. Instead, it ensures that individuals who test negative for HIV will be informed about PrEP treatment options. The center maintains that providing information is inherently beneficial and \"can never hurt.\"\n\nDr. Robert Bolan, Medical Director of the LA LGBT Center, urges the passage of the bill, arguing that it will save lives by \"reminding medical providers\" that they also serve as \"educators.\"\n\nThe video highlights several key facts to support the initiative:\n\nCalifornia has the second-highest number of new HIV infections in the nation.

This is their bazooka option, and I excitedly break it out on these long pass situations on 2nd and 3rd down. Here’s a tidy little progression you can go through:\n\nFirst, pick the \"Stick N’ Nod.\" If the defense comes out and the two outside cornerbacks are playing off, leaving significant distance between themselves and Nelson and Cobb, audible into \"Curl Flats.\" This is now a \"gimme.\" You will see how easy it is to hit the curling wide receiver between the two defensive backs on the outside, or if necessary, check down to the inside wide receiver in the flat. You should go back to the well on this play for as much as you can get.\n\nThings get more interesting if the outside cornerbacks are up close to Nelson and Cobb. The \"Stick N’ Nod\" you picked can certainly get Janis open over the deep middle of the field, but if you don’t want to risk a sack, keep your eyes more on the underneath receiver, who is running the same route concept just in a tighter amount of space, typically against a slower defender.\n\nIf you don’t want to mess with all that, you can audible straight to \"4 Verticals.\" The key here is that sly route across the middle by Adams from the inside-left slot. He hitches in the middle of a slant, usually shedding his defender along the way, while the three receivers to the right of Rodgers are all running fly routes. Your first look here is at Jeff Janis at the inside seam fly, who will be veering from right to left as he runs downfield. If this looks at all covered or \"busy\", your eyes drop down to Adams, and you hit him for whatever the defense gives you. There’s also the \"big boy\" way to play this, and that’s to focus strictly on the three streaking wide receivers on the right side—Janis, Boykin and Cobb—and pick on the safety responsible for that side of the field. This is risky but you can get some really nice back-shoulder throws with Boykin or even Cobb down the sideline. Almost as good as the real thing!\n\n2nd and 3rd down and short\n\nI do like running it here from time to time, and think it’s necessary. If the situations aren’t dire, and the opponent isn’t overly bracing against the run, break out Shotgun \"Doubles On\" or \"Y-Trips Wk\" (personally my favorite formation in the game). The \"Inside Zone\" plays out of these two formations are really nice plays, providing a solid wall for Lacy to dart through for a tough three yards.\n\nBut if things are dire, here’s where the money is at: Singleback Bunch. You’re going to toggle between two plays, the \"HB Dive\" and \"Spacing.\" I can’t tell you whether to run it or throw it, but your opponent will soon learn the meaning of helplessness when you learn how to complete the \"Spacing\" pass. Just read it from inside to outside as the three receivers to your right sprint out to their left, middle, and right. You can pick the pocket of the defense, either by taking advantage of an uncovered Quarless in the flat, patiently waiting for Nelson to box-out his spot in the middle, or hitting Adams in stride as he flashes into the middle of the field. On the other hand, you can just pound it with Lacy up the middle. Both of these plays are automatically included as audibles.

The person who grew the most skilled at it could tell if there was as little as a 4 percent difference in the size of the room. Even the people who did less well could still often tell apart differences of 6 to 8 percent, with the least skilled bottoming out at a 16 percent difference. Overall, that actually is about the same level of acuity—ability to distinguish differences—that you find in some visual tests, says Flanagin.\n\nAdditionally, the brain scans showed something odd: The sound of the echoes was activating sighted subjects' motor cortex, the part of the brain that handles movements. The researchers had the subjects make their echolocation sound—usually a click with their tongues—without playing them back any echoes, then subtracted that scan from the scans taken when they heard the noise reverberating in the church, to get rid of any motor cortex activation from moving the tongue. But it still lit up, even with the tongue movement removed. In fact, the brain region was more active with large versions of the church than smaller ones. \"It seems like the motor cortex is somehow involved in the sensory processing,\" says Flanagin. In the blind subject, the echoes caused the activation of the visual cortex instead.\n\nThese results lay the groundwork for future studies investigating whether sighted people can be trained to do more complicated kinds of echolocation, like navigating down a virtual hallway. The idea, Flanagin says, is to understand at what level of complexity blind people start being able to do things that sighted people can't and what might have changed in their brains to allow them to do that. In general, the resilience of the human brain and the readiness with which we can learn new skills when circumstances demand it is impressive.

According to reports from the Sunday Times, these formations are likely caused by unstable build-ups of methane, a notoriously volatile and occasionally explosive natural gas. While details remain scarce, researchers from the Arctic University of Norway are scheduled to present their findings in full at the annual European Geoscience Union conference this coming April.\n\nThe research team told the Sunday Times, \"Multiple giant craters exist on the sea floor in an area in the west-central Barents Sea... and are probably a cause of enormous blowouts of gas.\" They added that the crater area likely represents one of the largest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the Arctic.\n\nAlthough these massive methane bubbles could potentially endanger ships navigating these shallow waters, the connections some journalistic outlets are drawing to the Bermuda Triangle appear to be a stretch. Methane is stored under certain conditions as a compound known as methane hydrate, with vast caches found beneath the seabed. This natural gas is also generated within vast expanses of long-term frozen soil known as permafrost, which is primarily located in Siberia, Greenland, and Alaska. When organic matter in these regions decomposes under warmer, low-oxygen conditions, methane is produced.\n\nDue to human-induced climate change, the world is warming at an unprecedented rate, beginning to unlock these methane caches, although the current rate of methane escaping into the atmosphere remains unclear. Melting permafrost is definitely releasing methane gas, the second-most potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, contributing to further planetary warming. Within the oceans, hydrates are becoming increasingly unstable due to both warming and increasing acidification, and a similar effusion process is suspected to be occurring there as well.\n\nWhile these craters are certainly large, methane bubbles rising from the depths are a common occurrence. If an entire \"chunk\" of hydrates suddenly becomes unstable, a significant amount of methane gas can escape at once. This can generate craters, such as those found beneath the Barents Sea. It is difficult to estimate the energy released during these crater-forming events, but it is reasonable to suggest that, given their size of over half a mile across, they could be energetic enough to sink ships passing above them. However, evidence for this type of ship sinking remains deeply tenuous.\n\nThis methane forcing its way up from the depths has likely occurred before, around 56 million years ago. The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a sudden and catastrophic warming event that raised global temperatures by 5 to 8°C (9 to 15°F) in just 20,000 years, and researchers have occasionally surmised that a massive release of methane hydrates was to blame.\n\nThe link to the Bermuda Triangle, located off the eastern coast of Florida, is somewhat weak, as this study does not appear to relate to that part of the world. Nevertheless, gargantuan methane bubbles have been cited before as a possible cause of shipwrecks in the Triangle. Even if they do not cause a damaging blast, a methane bubble is considerably less dense than the surrounding seawater; if it rises beneath a ship, it could cause the vessel to suddenly lose buoyancy and sink.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4578, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "fde8abdedf92ab81b418a5a6c2aecaf36fd178e6", "raw_chars": 2921, "clean_chars": 2796, "edit_ratio": 0.9787, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Our first scene with the new Kino is a good monologue, but it jumps straight to the declaration that she will keep traveling even if she has to kill people. This is an odd thing to emphasize in terms of sacrifices, and it certainly was not a focal point of the original series. It sets a worrying precedent. While some of Kino's stories are indeed dangerous or tragic, many are also whimsical and amusing. With the new series, I am already worried that those kitty ears might get blown off by a crossbow.\n\nPart of what I love about Kino's Journey is that it runs the gamut of the human condition, encompassing all of its sadness, cruelty, absurdity, and ultimately, beauty. I hope the new anime does not just focus on the cruelty. Kino is many things, but an action hero she is not. If your motto is \"The world is not beautiful, therefore it is,\" I am going to need a little more of that \"therefore it is.\" But it is only two episodes in, so there is still plenty of hope.\n\nTrue. This new version does seem to be focusing more on Kino as a character, which is a slightly different direction from the old anime that could be neat to explore. That is what I was thinking. Anthology format aside, many people's favorite episodes of Kino's Journey are the ones that crack Kino's passive, gentle-smile facade and get at what drives them to keep going on this destination-less path, even when they are offered a place to belong now and again. Sometimes this can be cute, as in Kino's rejection of their taller and more rugged doppelganger, Shizu, but sometimes it can be devastating.\n\nSo with the remake opening once again on a monologue that, aside from a weird preoccupation with killing, openly questions Kino's motives for traveling, I am hoping that facade will be cracked a little further. The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem, Kino.\n\nI am also on board for more sick motorrad stunts. Poor Hermes. It is not easy being a talking motorcycle. What is better, though, a talking motorcycle or a talking dog? A dog is very good. \"Get in, loser, we are going on a journey.\" I wonder if there is a country full of talking dogs. Kino should go there. They need a break.\n\nAnything is better than that damn Coliseum. We should probably address that elephant, since it seems to be the one big thorn in what is otherwise been a promising remake. The new Coliseum arc adaptation fails on multiple levels. By compressing the story into one episode, it not only feels rushed, but it also misses out on a lot of the nuance and thoughtfulness of the old two-parter. It plays out so poorly that Kino comes across as cruel rather than conflicted. The old anime also had five prior episodes to get to know their character before this heavy dilemma.

From a behavioral perspective, for PPG to serve as an acceptable alternative to traditional-age gonadectomy (TAG), the frequency of undesirable behaviors should remain unaffected by the age at which the procedure is performed. The aims of this study were to investigate (1) whether the average number of potentially undesirable behaviors in shelter kittens during the 24 months following adoption was associated with the age at gonadectomy, and (2) whether social or environmental factors were related to the occurrence of commonly reported undesirable behaviors, such as inappropriate elimination, fearfulness, aggression, and destruction.\n\nEight hundred healthy kittens, estimated to be between 8 and 12 weeks old (weighing 0.7 to 1.4 kg), were recruited from animal shelters in Flanders, Belgium. Prior to adoption, the kittens were randomly assigned to either a PPG group, which underwent gonadectomy upon assignment, or a TAG group, which underwent gonadectomy between 6 and 8 months of age. Online follow-ups were conducted using a 30-day diary immediately after adoption, along with surveys at 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-adoption.\n\nThe mean number of potentially undesirable behaviors per day during the first month after adoption was not significantly different between the PPG group (1.48 ± 0.957) and the TAG group (1.39 ± 0.899) (P = 0.32). Similarly, the evolution of the mean number of potentially undesirable behaviors and undesirable behaviors during the long-term follow-up showed no significant differences (P = 0.0946 and P = 0.10, respectively). The occurrence of inappropriate elimination, fearful behavior, non-play-related aggression, and destruction was associated with other social and environmental variables, such as the use of punishment by the owner and the kitten's friendliness toward strangers.\n\nIn conclusion, this study of shelter cats did not demonstrate an effect of the age at gonadectomy on the mean number of potentially undesirable behaviors over the 24 months following adoption.

He started with a 1952 Chrysler station wagon that had a lovely rusted and faded patina and added the front clip of a similarly aged DeSoto. Then he got creative.\n\nThe ancient Chrysler underpinnings were replaced with an advanced Art Morrison chassis with modern suspension and powerful disc brakes, then a modern 6.1-litre Dodge Hemi was placed under the hood.\n\nThis is the point where most hot rodders would paint the wagon a deep metallic red and add modern leather bucket seats to the interior. But Ward did the opposite. He clear-coated the original faded paint on the wagon to preserve it and kept the original layout of the interior. He retained the pizza-sized steering wheel and made all the antique chrome switches and knobs work with a modern climate control system.\n\nIt started out as a personal project, but when he was finished, he realized, “This is ICON,” and he turned it into a business.\n\nThe car went on to win multiple awards, made it onto an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, was featured on the cover of Hot Rod magazine and soon enough, requests starting pouring in from people who wanted their very own “brand new” beat-up hot rod.\n\nWard calls these cars the Derelicts and if you want one, you have to put down a hefty deposit and then wait more than two years before they can even start work on your car.

As is customary in these situations, my attendant nurse, a kind woman who is wonderful with children, had wrapped the child in layers of sheets to prevent any unexpected movements of arms or legs while we performed the delicate procedure. Halfway through the suturing, our young patient stealthily managed to extricate a right arm from her wrapping and, before anyone noticed, delivered a full-force punch to the face of my poor nurse.\n\nThe nurse assisting me rapidly developed a substantial bruise near her eye. Injured babies can throw a mean punch, but she never flinched, proceeding to calmly re-wrap the offending arm and allowing me to finish the suturing. Afterwards, to my chagrin, the parents of the injured baby ignored the nurse and the injuries she had sustained in order to help their child, while proceeding to thank me profusely for my care.\n\nThis episode got me thinking. Our nurses so frequently go above and beyond the call of duty, while receiving so little recognition for their amazing work and dedication. It is a situation I feel we all should do our best to improve, so without further ado, here are the top reasons why nurses are my true heroes of the emergency room.\n\nNurses regularly save us doctors when the going gets tough. Almost every doctor has stories, from their years in practice, about how an experienced nurse saved the day for them at some point. For me, the first time this occurred was during my residency, prior to receiving my license to practice. I remember, during a night on call, seeing an older male patient who presented with suddenly elevated blood pressure and difficulty breathing. This was the type of critically ill patient I would have seen only with a senior physician by my side during daytime hours. Being alone with this dying man, with no other MD in sight, I froze, suddenly unable to recognize the clear diagnosis of acute congestive heart failure that was in front of me.\n\nAs I watched my patient slipping away from me, rapidly running out of strength to breathe further, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was one of the experienced nurses on the floor, a knowledgeable professional who had seen it all. She said to me gently, \"I see you're here for the heart failure patient. Do you want me to draw up drugs X, Y, and Z?\" Her quick, attentive action saved the day. With the correct diagnosis identified and proper treatment started, the patient quickly improved. I learned a lesson that day, one that I have never forgotten: that nurses know their stuff, and that their enormous experience is an incredible asset to have by my side when faced with the most challenging patients.\n\nNurses take abuse and maintain their professionalism. Emergency rooms, due to the high-pressure, life-and-death nature of the work we perform, are very stressful places to be. Patients and their family members, as well as hospital staff, are frequently on edge. When tempers flare in the ER, nurses, as the workers in the ER who spend the most time with patients, frequently serve as proverbial, and all too often literal, punching bags.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4605, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "2c1553f4f6e84d20a7675d31a3bd502ed1a2b0e7", "raw_chars": 2853, "clean_chars": 2836, "edit_ratio": 0.016, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The contrast between her personal motivation and the more collective mindset of the revolutionary movement is highlighted by the aesthetic portrayal of the resistance. The conditions that the revolutionaries live in resemble a sort of Nineteen Eighty-Four type of society, where everyone wears the same jumpsuit, military discipline is required from everyone, and goods and services are scarce. This way of portraying the resistance is an interesting choice that does not come off as a simple critique of their creeping authoritarian tendencies, but rather we are still meant to sympathize with the movement and see the necessity for that kind of discipline considering their conditions.\n\nEach film so far has had a different take on Panem, the fictional North American country in which the films take place. The first film focused on the consumerist and joyous character of the Capitol, the second film had a different take on the Capitol that portrayed it as a Fascist society with military parades inspired by Triumph of the Will, and this film focused instead on the seemingly militaristic society that was attempting to overthrow the Capitol’s rule. While this film does not try to make obvious moralistic statements about how the resistance is structured, there seem to be no implied critiques of how they have conducted themselves up to this point, and their ability to fight the Capitol seems to be justification enough for why they exist in the form they do. The brutality of the Capitol is made clear in all three films, so there is not much room for critiquing the way the revolutionaries have waged their war so far.\n\nThe film spent a lot of time dealing with the production of propaganda by the revolutionaries instead of focusing on Hollywood-style military battles between the good guys and the bad guys. Both the Capitol and the revolutionary movement focus much of their efforts on trying to win a media war against each other, with Peeta being used by the Capitol to discredit the revolutionaries, and Katniss being used to spread the revolutionary message. Unlike most major films, however, propaganda is not seen as an inherently negative or dishonest endeavor but rather just another tool of conflict.\n\nLike the previous films, Mockingjay continues to be a film about revolt and subversion of an oppressive system.

The expression levels of these molecules are regulated by genes and their epigenetic states in response to external influences or stresses. Likewise, the expression states of the genes are regulated by the components of the expressome. For the sake of model simplicity, but without loss of generality, we will specifically talk about the genes expressing as, and being regulated by, proteins. However, other levels of description including transcriptome, metabolome, etc. could also be viewed as relevant aspects of the expressome, similarly impacted by both endogenous and exogenous (environmental) factors. We start from the organism in a “normal” initial state, in which all genes have youthful/healthy expression profiles. With the passage of time, t, most of the genes retain “normal” expression profiles, while a few genes, e g (t) genes in total, subsequently become either damaged or (epigenetically) dysregulated and represent a few “defects” or “errors” in the genetic program. Gene transcripts are translated into the proteome, including its “defects”, at a certain translation rate p. Defects may appear in the expressome even if the genome state is perfectly regulated, due to unavoidable imperfections in translation or metabolic transformations17. Below, we assume that time-dependent quantities such as e g (t) may be averaged over times longer than the characteristic interaction times, but are still much shorter than the lifespan of the organism.\n\nFigure 1: The minimum stability analysis model for a gene network. At any given time the genome consists of a number of normally expressed and dysregulated genes. The proteome accumulates “defects”, such as the proteins over- or under-expressed by dysregulated genes, which are removed via the protein quality-control or turnover systems. DNA repair machinery controls epigenetic states of the genes and restores normal expression levels. On top of this, interactions with the environment damage both the proteome and the genome subsystems, increasing the load on the protein-turnover and DNA-repair components.

Like the previous two films, this story deals with the oppression of the \"districts\" by the powerful Capitol, which had used a yearly violent \"Hunger Games\" event where each district had to pay a \"tribute\" of two citizens to fight to the death in a battle royale that was broadcast across the country. The previous film ended with a plot by some of the tributes in concert with a resistance movement to destroy the arena during the broadcast of the games. This destruction of the arena launched a revolution throughout the districts against the Capitol and is what sets the stage for this film.\n\nMockingjay Part 1 begins shortly after the previous film's end. Instead of focusing on the larger society of this universe, most of the time we spend in this film is focused on the resistance movement that is leading a revolution against the Capitol, along with the ruins of the districts that the Capitol has violently destroyed. The main character, Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence), continues her role as the symbol of the resistance as she had in the previous films. The main difference in this film, however, is that the revolution was actively underway while in the previous film it was merely being anticipated. Katniss continues to be an unwilling hero and is constantly reluctant to help the resistance, often allowing her personal issues to get in the way of her dedication to the broader cause. For example, her partner from the games, Peeta Mellark, has been taken hostage by the Capitol and is being used to produce propaganda against the revolutionaries. She feels that he is being forced to denounce the revolution, but she becomes more concerned with saving him from his captors than trying to combat the propaganda that the Capitol has put out against the revolution. The revolutionary leaders are eager to have Katniss begin producing propaganda against the Capitol, as she is already a symbol for the revolution. While she does reluctantly agree, she adds the condition that Peeta (and other tributes) be freed and pardoned for their propaganda against the revolution. This decision upsets many of the revolutionaries, but the compromise is made.\n\nThis personal motivation of hers is often portrayed as being more important to her than fighting the Capitol, until she is later shown firsthand the destruction of her home district, which is when she begins to develop an even deeper opposition to the Capitol's growing war against the districts. Once she begins to see the destructive nature of the Capitol, Katniss eventually comes around to helping the revolutionaries to a greater extent, but her motivation constantly remains highly personal and individualized. The other revolutionaries are sometimes frustrated by her selfishness, and the film does a good job at portraying it as a major struggle between her and her comrades, a sort of critique of personal motivation in a time where great discipline is needed.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M star was accused of hitting Crowley and threatening to kill her during an incident on January 30. According to court documents, Manziel struck Crowley so forcefully that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear. The indictment further alleges that he forced her into a vehicle and against a dashboard.\n\nManziel faces a charge of misdemeanor assault related to family violence, which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. This indictment marks the latest incident in a turbulent period for Manziel since he was selected 22nd overall by the Browns in the 2014 NFL draft.\n\nRobert Hinton, one of Manziel's attorneys, told the Associated Press that the handling of the indictment suggests problems with the case. Hinton stated that his client will plead not guilty and expressed confidence in an acquittal. \"If this were Johnny Smith, the district attorney's office would have declined to accept the case, in my judgment,\" Hinton said. \"This is not a very credible case. As a matter of fact, it's incredible. There's just not much to it.\"\n\nHinton noted that police and prosecutors seemed to treat the case as though they did not want it to proceed. Legal observers pointed out that Dallas police referred the matter to a grand jury rather than arresting Manziel outright, which is unusual for misdemeanor cases. Hinton added that he did not anticipate making a deal to resolve the case before trial, though he considered any discussions of a settlement premature.\n\nAnother of Manziel's attorneys, Jim Darnell, issued a statement on Tuesday affirming that his client \"will be acquitted at the conclusion of this case.\" Manziel is currently in Los Angeles but is expected to present himself for booking on Thursday or Friday once the case is formally assigned to a judge and bond is set. Hinton described Manziel as having a \"great attitude\" and being ready to face the legal process.\n\nDallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk released a statement on Tuesday saying that prosecutors \"respect the criminal justice process and the decision\" made by the grand jury. Her spokeswoman declined to comment further.

On the night of September 16, police arrived around 10 p.m. to find Strong’s neighbor performing CPR on Strong, who had been shot once in the chest. Strong died at the scene shortly thereafter. Police initially handcuffed the neighbor, who appeared to be on the verge of passing out and asked to speak to his pastor.\n\nIngham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III later ruled Strong’s death a justifiable homicide, confirming the decision earlier this month. The State Journal is not identifying the neighbor or Strong’s girlfriend because neither was charged with a crime.\n\nAccording to police reports, Strong had been drinking before arriving home that night. A fight ensued, during which Strong kicked his girlfriend and spit in her face. When Strong refused to leave, she dialed 911, which further agitated him. He threatened her with a semi-automatic handgun loaded with hollow-point bullets. The gun was registered to Strong’s ex-girlfriend.\n\nStrong’s girlfriend told police that he said, \"If anyone shows up, no one is getting out of this apartment.\" She interpreted this to mean he intended to kill her, her son, and himself. At 9:45 p.m., she texted the neighbor: \"Can u come get (my son) hes at ur door please and call the police.\" The neighbor let the boy inside.\n\nAt 9:51 p.m., the neighbor replied: \"Can u leave safely.\" He then went to the couple’s apartment and heard a gunshot after entering. According to police, an errant shot had been fired. The neighbor told investigators that he attempted to wrestle the gun away from Strong, who struck him several times in the head with the butt of the weapon. As the struggle continued, the neighbor gained control of the gun and shot Strong. He stated he pulled the trigger because he feared Strong would overpower and kill him.\n\nContrary to the police report, Strong’s brother, Lilton Montgomery Jr., said Strong would never threaten to shoot his girlfriend or her son. Montgomery argued that the neighbor took matters into his own hands and should have waited for police. He claimed that police relied too heavily on the accounts of the girlfriend, the neighbor, and tenants who said they heard the incident, rather than on physical evidence.\n\n\"What we know of Chris, the story just doesn't add up,\" Montgomery said. \"I think he was scared that night. He didn't know what to do.\"\n\nStrong’s father, Lilton Montgomery Sr., expressed similar concerns in an email. \"Outside of the police report, the family's concerns pertain to the police investigation itself,\" he wrote. \"The family maintains the feeling that justice has not been served in Chris' homicide case.\"\n\nStrong’s family had moved from Detroit to Lansing in the 1990s to find a safer home, Montgomery Jr. said.

It requires courage, faith, determination, and pure grit. House Bill 1 embodies all of these qualities.\n\nOnce Governor Brian Kemp signs House Bill 1 into law, Georgia families will be able to use oil derived from marijuana plants to treat certain medical conditions, bringing relief and hope to many. Cannabis oil containing THC has shown excellent results in treating childhood seizures and many other conditions, including pain and appetite loss associated with cancer, ALS, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and sickle cell anemia.\n\nHouse Bill 1 is an incredible first step, and it was a hard one. Proponents, including the governor, Representative Allen Peake, and Senator Renee Unterman, should be commended for helping Georgia take this step. With their thoughtfulness and leadership, the next step will be easier.\n\nGeorgia will create a limited drug study program and a commission of experts to help resolve some of the issues that were left on the table. These include the use of inhalers, creams, patches, and smokable forms of cannabis or marijuana, as well as expanding the list of illnesses that can be treated to include conditions such as autism and fibromyalgia.\n\nThere will be limitations on the ability of physicians to prescribe marijuana, except in severe or final-stage illnesses. Physicians are also limited regarding the appropriate delivery system of medical marijuana. Many patients who might benefit from the use of medical cannabis have difficulty ingesting the oil or taking shots. For them, the ability to use an inhaler or apply a topical cream might be the only appropriate delivery method. A doctor, not legislators, should have the ability to prescribe the best method based on a patient's illness and need.\n\nPossibly the largest step not taken in House Bill 1 is addressing the federal penalties that still apply. Marijuana remains a Schedule I drug. Transportation of cannabis oil across state lines remains illegal, with penalties of up to five years' imprisonment or a $250,000 fine for an individual, and up to $1 million for a corporation selling across state lines.\n\nFederal authorities have indicated they would not pursue charges against individuals using cannabis or marijuana for medical reasons if they reside within the state in which the product is manufactured. House Bill 1 prohibits the manufacture of cannabis oil or marijuana leaf products in Georgia, and families continue to run the risk of federal criminal activity when transporting it home.\n\nThe shortcomings of House Bill 1 are not problems of intention, but of execution. To legally obtain cannabis oil, a family or individual would still need to travel to a state where manufacturing is legal. That requires money or the continued splintering of family residences.\n\nMy hope is that the new commission will make recommendations to perfect Georgia's law and face head-on the matter of cannabis production in Georgia. Doing so is the only solution to ensure our citizens' protection under federal guidelines and to ease the fears of researchers who worry about losing grant funding.\n\nIt is time to face old fears and stigmas attached to marijuana, recognizing that it has real medicinal benefits.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4661, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "9cdf70cf2cc243228d0e8118ce1c11aa2ba7801c", "raw_chars": 1312, "clean_chars": 1249, "edit_ratio": 0.098, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Education and law students were the exception to this rule, perhaps because they have more exposure to the realities of the job market through co-op programs and connections outside of school.

He helped convert French loans into ready cash by selling bills of exchange for Robert Morris, the Superintendent of Finance. In this way, he aided the Continental Army and was possibly, along with Morris, the prime financier of the American side during the American Revolutionary War against Great Britain.\n\nBorn in Leszno (Lissa), Poland, in 1740, Haym Salomon (anglicized from Chaim Salomon) came from a Sephardic Jewish family descended from Spanish and Portuguese Jews who had migrated to Polish Jewish communities following the expulsion by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. Although most Jews in Central and Eastern Europe spoke Yiddish, some claim that because Salomon left Poland while still young, he could not read or write it. In his youth, he studied Hebrew. During his travels in Western Europe, he acquired a knowledge of finance and fluency in several other languages, such as German. He returned to Poland in 1770 but left for England two years later in the wake of the Polish partition. In 1775, he immigrated to New York City, where he established himself as a financial broker for merchants engaged in overseas trade.\n\nSympathizing with the Patriot cause, Salomon joined the New York branch of the Sons of Liberty. In September 1776, he was arrested as a spy. The British pardoned him, but only after requiring him to spend 18 months on a British boat as an interpreter for Hessian soldiers, German troops employed by the British. Salomon used his position to help prisoners of the British escape and encouraged the Hessians to desert the war effort. In 1781, Salomon was arrested again and sentenced to death. Again, he managed to escape, making his way with his family to the rebel capital in Philadelphia.\n\nOnce resettled, Salomon resumed his activities as a broker. He became the agent to the French consul as well as the paymaster for the French forces in North America. In 1781, he began working extensively with Robert Morris, the newly appointed Superintendent for Finance for the Thirteen Colonies. From the period of 1781 to 1784, records show that Salomon's fundraising and personal lending helped provide over $650,000 (approximately $18,035,722.16 in 2018 dollars) in financing to George Washington for his war effort.

However, the EU expects to contain this turmoil with the help of trade unions, which have so far refused to organize international solidarity with Greek workers. The Greek military has also intervened, threatening to bring down the PASOK government. This echoes the era of the \"colonels,\" during which the military suppressed the Greek working class through a bloody dictatorship from 1967 to 1974.\n\nThe primary concern for the EU at present is preventing a Greek state bankruptcy from destabilizing international banks and other European nations. All decisions and debates over the past weeks and days have revolved around this critical question.\n\nEuro zone governments had already agreed in June to increase the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and expand its powers. Rather than merely providing credit guarantees to struggling euro zone countries, the EFSF may now also purchase government bonds of vulnerable states on the open market, thereby removing risks facing banks.\n\nIncreasing banks' capital holdings using funds from the EFSF or other public monies is also under discussion. This was the central theme at the meeting of EU finance ministers last Tuesday. The ministers commissioned the European Banking Authority (EBA) to verify the resilience of European banks in the event of a Greek default.\n\nOn Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel endorsed this approach. She stated that if banks urgently needed money, European states should not delay financial aid, as this would constitute \"money reasonably invested.\" She made these remarks following a meeting with EU President Jose Manuel Barroso and leaders of major international financial institutions.\n\nOn Thursday, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to support threatened banks with substantial financial injections.\n\nIn essence, instead of rescuing euro zone countries facing bankruptcy, the funds from the euro rescue package and the ECB are now being used to bail out banks when indebted countries default.\n\nExperts estimate that European banks require an additional €200 billion to €300 billion in capital to survive a Greek state bankruptcy.

Exactly one month later, on January 11, 2013, the first issue of Nintendo Force went live. Made available only through the print-on-demand service of MagCloud and set at a steep price of $17.99 per copy, the debut issue of Nintendo Force overcame the obstacle of prohibitive cost and soared to shatter all of MagCloud’s sales records. It became the most successful single issue in the history of the site, with thousands upon thousands of copies sold, and more are still being added to that number daily. The incredible reception proved that an audience still existed hungry for Nintendo games coverage in magazine form, and propelled us to pursue subscriptions and enter production on a full year of follow-up issues.\n\nHow do you follow up such a huge success as our debut issue? By making a sequel issue that is itself all about sequels. Rather than just creating one magazine after another defined only by the time of their release, we established the practice of having an overall theme that guided the content of each new issue. For issue #2, the first theme was celebrating all the other #2s out there. We also featured Luigi as our cover star for the first time in “The Year of Luigi” (he would go on to appear on two more covers before the end of 2013), and this issue was also the first to be offered to subscribers. Issue #1 was a standalone product, existing all by itself. Issue #2 is when subscriptions, both print and digital, first began, so anyone who signed up to join the Force in advance of issue #2’s release became a true NF Ambassador.\n\nThe team was really getting into the swing of making new magazine issues by the time we tackled our third, which appropriately featured the King of Swing himself on the cover. Donkey Kong’s connections to Hollywood’s legendary giant ape King Kong, along with the arrival of the 20th anniversary of the live-action Super Mario Bros. movie, inspired us to make our theme for this issue “Nintendo at the Movies.” This was also the issue that ushered in our NF Magazine iPad app, giving us a “third pillar” of distribution for new issues.\n\nIn the wake of a great showing for Nintendo at E3 2013, our hopes for the future of the 3DS and Wii U were high. We embraced that spirit of looking ahead to tomorrow and combined it with a Mario & Luigi: Dream Team cover to create “Dreams for the Future” as our fourth NF Magazine issue theme.

What is even more unacceptable is that people who knew better—presumably Christian people with a conscience—did little or nothing while evil was triumphing.\n\nToday, America is witnessing the rebirth of institutionalized slavery within its borders, and it is indeed a predominantly racist practice with Latinos and Blacks comprising the bulk of the new slaves. We are also witnessing racist rates of incarceration within our juvenile justice system. This outrageous practice should be decried by every media outlet in the country, but this problem is all but ignored by the mainstream media (MSM). Why? Because the MSM is making money off of this unholy practice.\n\nA Growing Customer Base\n\nThere are over two million inmates in American prisons, or one in 743 people. Communist China, which has five times the population of the United States, has 500,000 fewer inmates. The United States has only 5% of the world’s population, but has 25% of the world’s prison population.\n\nIn 1972, the U.S. had less than 300,000 inmates. By 1990, the incarceration rate had skyrocketed to one million, and by today, the rate has more than doubled again. Again, I ask why? Because there are very big monied interests behind the growth industry of privatized prisons.\n\nAccording to Charles Campbell, author of The Intolerable Hulks (2001), the privatization of the prisons movement has its origins in the Revolutionary War period. England began to put undesirables and prisoners in prison ships. The U.S. fully embraced the use of private prisons during the Reconstruction Period (1865-1876) in the south, following the Civil War. Plantation owners and business owners needed “free” replacements to compensate for the loss of their previous slave laborers. In 1868, convict leases were awarded to private business interests in order to bolster their labor workforce, and the practice continued until the early 20th century.\n\nToday, this practice has been taken over by private corporate interests who are increasingly taking over our prison system, and this unholy practice is no less exploitative than the slave labor abuses of the past. As in all forms of slavery, it is being fueled by profit.\n\nPrison for Profit\n\nThe Corrections Corporation of America is the largest private prison operator in the United States. The CCA procured its first private prison in, ironically, 1984.\n\nDid you know that in many states, privatized prisons are guaranteed 90% occupancy rates by the government?\n\nAccording to the California Prison Focus, “The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this income. Corporate stockholders who make money off prisoners’ work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself,” says a study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the prison industry of being “an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps.”\n\nThe Impetus Behind the Prison Industrial Complex", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4694, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "48b9cf0de64057e2830eefce082a82e6504b685c", "raw_chars": 3454, "clean_chars": 3205, "edit_ratio": 0.9075, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We are pleased to announce to our loyal fans that the 'Gold' release date for Infinity Wars will be September 3, 2014. This announcement carries significant meaning, though the details may not be immediately obvious. Primarily, it means that the 'beta' tag will be removed from the game. This change does not signal a halt in development; we want to reassure everyone that we will continue to develop the game and introduce new features. We are committed to working hard to improve and grow Infinity Wars from this point forward, and we have exciting content planned for the future.\n\nWe believe the game is now strong enough to stand on its own without relying on the 'beta' label while we continue to develop content and features. As a small indie studio, we are driven by an extreme amount of passion, but we recognize that passion alone cannot fix every issue. Our size inevitably influences our decision-making and the timeframe for implementing changes. Therefore, we have decided that now is the right time to remove the beta tag. With the game in mostly proper working order, it is ready for players to share with friends as we continue to refine and improve it daily.\n\nThrough various advertising strategies, we have learned that Infinity Wars is particularly well-suited for the mid to hardcore audience. While we strive to broaden the game's appeal, metrics from mainstream gaming coverage suggest that targeting dedicated gamers like yourselves is the best approach. Consequently, we are rolling out targeted advertising and marketing efforts. However, the game will grow most effectively through community engagement, such as bringing trading card game enthusiasts into the fold, hosting tournaments, and continuously balancing cards while introducing new, exciting content and mechanics.\n\nRegarding the question of whether rankings will be reset upon going Gold, the short answer is no. In the beginning, we mentioned that rankings might be reset when the game reached this milestone, but we have decided against it for now. This decision is tied to our next major milestone, version 1.5, which focuses on several key updates. We are beginning work on this project once we confirm that all major bugs have been resolved. We hope to complete these updates within six months of the Gold release, though we cannot make firm promises at this time. Our priority remains ensuring a smooth, major bug-free experience. We simply wanted to provide a roadmap of the features we are currently developing.\n\nWe have decided not to reset any rankings until these new modes are implemented, as it would not be fair to reset progress before the formats and concepts themselves have changed. We encourage you to get excited, as there is seriously great content on the horizon, including more sets, more cards, and more Puffing Puffy than you can imagine.\n\nThe future for Infinity Wars looks bright, and we thank you, the amazing players and community, for helping us shape the game into what it is becoming.

This decision raises the question of whether spanking is truly the best way to discipline children.\n\nSpanking is one of the many topics about which parents passionately disagree. While most American parents adhere to the old adage \"Spare the rod, spoil the child,\" others are horrified by the very thought of raising a hand to a child.\n\nThis makes corporal punishment in schools an even thornier issue, as highlighted by a recent decision in a Texas school district to alter its spanking policy. After two parents complained that their daughters had been beaten hard enough to develop bruises and burn-like redness on their skin, the Springtown school board voted last week to amend its corporal punishment rules. Rather than abolishing the practice, however, the board members took pains to preserve teachers' ability to physically discipline students. Under the new rules, parents must now opt in with written permission allowing their children to be paddled when teachers feel it is justified; previously, parents had to opt out of corporal punishment.\n\nThe school board also expanded its spanking policy overall by deciding to allow teachers to punish students of the opposite gender. Parents can now designate whether they are okay with a male or female school official doling out the paddling. The initial complaints from the two parents had centered on the fact that their daughters were punished by a male teacher, which violated Springtown's previous requirement that same-gender teachers carry out any physical punishment.\n\nA bigger question for many is why some states still allow corporal punishment in schools at all. Texas is one of 19 states that permit principals or teachers to put kids under the paddle. However, 97 of the U.S.'s 100 largest school districts have banned corporal punishment.\n\nWhile there isn't much research specifically on the effects of corporal punishment in schools, the matter has been studied extensively in the home. The consensus is that spanking isn't effective in properly disciplining children, at least not if the goal is to control children's behavior over the long term or help them understand what is appropriate behavior. \"There isn't a single study that shows kids' behavior gets better over time,\" says Elizabeth Gershoff, an associate professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. \"Every study I've looked at that links parent spanking and kids' aggression found that the more kids are spanked, the more aggressive and problematic their behavior is.\"\n\nGershoff should know. She has conducted the most comprehensive analysis of the existing research on the effects of spanking by parents. In the variety of studies she has reviewed—in which spanking was reported by parents or children themselves, and children's behavior was measured by a standardized survey that asked parents and teachers how often children acted out, talked back, or were disobedient or delinquent in any way—all the results point in one direction: the more children were spanked, the more aggressive they became.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4722, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "28f82da0d007640a287c0f77da57f9564303493b", "raw_chars": 2039, "clean_chars": 2402, "edit_ratio": 0.8964, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Chairman Mao once remarked, \"As communists we gain control with the power of the gun and maintain control with the power of the pen.\" This quote highlights how propaganda and the control of ideology serve as an authoritarian society's most critical tasks.

Readers would carefully scrutinize these sources, reading between the lines to piece together the truth. Today, the landscape has shifted dramatically. By the time official publications attempt to address an issue, the internet has already become a hub of widespread discussion.\n\nIn my view, Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost in Russia was a more significant development. Openness and transparency remain the only effective means to curb such authoritarian powers. In China, citizens have never truly possessed the right to express their opinions freely. While the constitution nominally guarantees this right, exercising it in practice can be dangerous. In contrast, Western societies often view free expression as an inherent, inalienable right. In China, however, it is treated as a privilege granted by the government, one that is rarely practiced.\n\nAlthough China underwent a period of reform and opening, the \"opening\" referred more to economic engagement with the West than to ideological openness. This approach was driven by practicality rather than a commitment to liberal ideals. Initially, no one—not even in the West—could have predicted that the internet would become so deeply intertwined with freedom of speech or that social media would evolve in its current form. At the time, it was simply understood as a faster, more efficient, and powerful tool for communication.\n\nHowever, with the advent of the internet, blogs, and later microblogs, people began sharing ideas, fostering a new sense of freedom. This expression ranges from lighthearted posts about daily life, such as what one had for breakfast, to serious discussions of current events. Regardless of the topic, people are learning to exercise their rights, marking a unique and treasured moment. Citizens are beginning to feel a sense of liberation.

He had run away from home in a desperate attempt to find his father, Anwar, a \"radical cleric\" who was the well-publicized target of the Obama administration's assassination program.\n\nDespite the fact that Anwar al-Awlaki was never formally charged with a crime — let alone convicted of one — he was assassinated on Obama's orders two weeks before the government killed his son and eight other innocent people.\n\nSeeking to justify the killing of a child, the Obama administration circulated the story that the 16-year-old was actually an adult \"suspected\" of being a \"militant.\"\n\nThat story was refined somewhat once it was proven that Abdulrahman was a teenager. However, the administration has never dropped the pretense that the summary execution of that innocent U.S. citizen was, in some sense, a strategic success.

Compressed earth blocks use a mechanical press to form blocks out of an appropriate mix of fairly dry inorganic subsoil, non-expansive clay and aggregate. If the blocks are stabilized with a chemical binder such as Portland cement they are called compressed stabilized earth block (CSEB) or stabilized earth block (SEB). Typically, around 3,000 psi (21 MPa) is applied in compression, and the original soil volume is reduced by about half.\n\nCreating CEBs differs from rammed earth in that the latter uses a larger formwork into which earth is poured and manually tamped down, creating larger forms such as a whole wall or more at one time rather than building blocks. CEBs differ from mud bricks in that the latter are not compressed and solidify through chemical changes that take place as they air dry. The compression strength of properly made CEB can meet or exceed that of typical cement or mud brick. Building standards have been developed for CEB.\n\nCEBs are assembled onto walls using standard bricklaying and masonry techniques. The mortar may be a simple slurry made of the same soil/clay mix without aggregate, spread or brushed very thinly between the blocks for bonding, or cement mortar may also be used for high strength, or when construction during freeze-thaw cycles causes stability issues. Hydraform blocks are shaped to be interlocking.\n\nDevelopment\n\nCEB technology has been developed for low-cost construction, as an alternative to adobe, and with some advantages. A commercial industry has been advanced by eco-friendly contractors, manufacturers of the mechanical presses, and by cultural acceptance of the method. In the United States, most general contractors building with CEB are in the Southwestern states: New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California, and to a lesser extent in Texas. The methods and presses have been used for many years in Mexico, and in developing countries.\n\nThe South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry considers that CEB, locally called \"Dutch brick\" is an appropriate technology for a developing country, as are adobe, rammed earth and cob. All use natural building materials.[1] In 2002 the International Institute for Energy Conservation was one of the winners of a World Bank Development Marketplace Award for a project to make an energy-efficient Dutch brick-making machine for home construction in South Africa. By making cheaper bricks that use earth, the project would reduce housing costs while stimulating the building industry.[2] The machine would be mobile, allowing bricks to be made locally from earth.[3]\n\nVarious types of CEB production machines exist, from manual to semi-automated and fully automated, with increasing capital-investment and production rates, and decreased labor.

Unlike most seminaries that exist to prepare students for a particular ministry within their church, denomination, or communion, SES is a solitary entity, beholden to no particular tradition, communion, or governing body. It is also not attached to any university or college. SES’s draw comes from its focus on Christian apologetics, or defending the faith, and, secondarily, on its unusual blend of typical Baptist and Evangelical theology mixed with many tenets of classical philosophy. The latter involves the study of the teachings of the über-Catholic Thomas Aquinas, as well as many of his best commentators. SES also regularly invites popular Catholics to speak at various conferences when their expertise places them at the top of the scholarly heap, as it often does.\n\nNow, the school has gone to great pains to point out that accepting certain parts of Thomistic philosophy does not entail Catholic theology, something no knowledgeable Catholic would argue, and that one is free to pick and choose from what Catholics teach, so long as they do not go against the school’s doctrinal statement, of course. This smorgasbord approach to theology is made clear by the structure of the classes. Students read Catholics when it comes to metaphysics, epistemology, theology of God, and ethics, but then switch to contemporary Evangelicals when it comes to issues surrounding salvation or the end times. For a lot of us, the comparison was unfavorable toward the Evangelical writers, and the theological inconsistency eventually became too great to ignore. Eventually, a lot of us realized that the best of Evangelicalism was borrowed capital from the Catholic Church, and the rest was simply sub-par.\n\nCWR: One common obstacle to conversion is the stigma it can carry with it. People can lose their friends and family, their whole social and professional network. Was this something you encountered? Is it a common issue with converts from SES?\n\nBeaumont: I think this is a common experience in conversions of many types. If Aristotle was right, friendship at the highest level is the mutual pursuit of the good. When friends or family begin to disagree on what the good is, it inevitably produces tension, even strife. Moreover, in a system like Evangelicalism, where one’s beliefs are self-determined and the real spiritual authority lies within the mind of the individual, disagreement over doctrine can be seen to equate to a personal attack. Furthermore, there is a massive cultural shift that occurs in an Evangelical-to-Catholic transition. It is, as Christian Smith puts it, likened to a paradigm shift in science.

A third must get to Fort Worth from a small town in the western part of the state. A fourth reaches out from Lubbock to say she missed her appointment in Dallas.\n\nTo the stranger at a party who asks what she does, St. Clair keeps her answer vague: \"Just feminist stuff.\" But the truth is blunt, bold and a sign of the times: \"I'm an abortion travel agent.\"\n\nIt's a job that emerged after Texas enacted House Bill 2 in 2013, imposing a new round of restrictions on abortion care and abortion providers. Two key parts of the law have been challenged all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which hears arguments in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt on Wednesday.\n\nIt has been called the biggest abortion case to face the high court in more than two decades and could have far-reaching effects depending on how justices rule.\n\nIn Texas, the effects of HB2 have already been felt. Unable or unwilling to meet new requirements, clinics across the state have shut their doors. Before HB2, the state had more than 40 abortion clinics; now there are 13, according to St. Clair's latest count. Among the new rules: Doctors must have hospital privileges, and clinics must function like outpatient surgery centers.\n\nIn an enormous state that spans 270,000 square miles -- bigger than many countries -- some women are now living in an abortion desert. In Lubbock, for example, they have to travel nearly 300 miles to reach a provider. And the ripple effects don't stop there.\n\nThe farther a woman lives from a clinic, the more complicated it is to get there. Especially if she works more than one job, needs to secure child care or doesn't have a car or money for a hotel. Add to this the wait time to get an appointment, and another wait time after a legally required sonogram. In some clinics, it has taken as long as 23 days to get on the schedule since the passage of HB2, according to the Texas Policy Evaluation Project at the University of Texas.\n\nThe longer the wait to get an abortion, the more expensive -- and potentially more complicated -- the procedure. What could have cost hundreds of dollars easily jumps into the thousands. And if a woman is more than 20 weeks pregnant, she has waited too long to get an abortion in Texas. Under HB2, it's illegal in most cases -- and she'll have to travel out of state.\n\nEnter Fund Texas Choice, where St. Clair, 23, works as the operations manager and is the organization's only full-time employee.

She was the clinic director at the Planned Parenthood Women's Health Center in her hometown of Lubbock.\n\nNow empty and undergoing renovation for new tenants, the facility shut down in October 2013, a casualty of HB2.\n\n\"We became an example of the assault on clinics. I was devastated,\" she says of the closure, which left her depressed for months and led her to move back in with her parents. \"I had this great job with amazing purpose, and it was gone.\"\n\nCollege students, addicts who didn't believe they were fit to be mothers, and women who already had children would pull into the parking lot. Martinez remembers them arriving in cabs, old jalopies, and fancy SUVs—some even with McCain/Palin bumper stickers. Women who might rail against abortion in their social circles, she says, were happy to accept Planned Parenthood's services once they got pregnant.\n\nThey would say things like, \"I'm a good Christian or I don't believe in this, but my situation is different,\" Martinez says.\n\nShe never judged. She says she was just glad her clinic could provide them a choice, and a safe legal option to do what they thought was best for themselves and their families.\n\nThis overriding purpose drove her. Each week she'd pick up a doctor who flew in from out of town to perform procedures on Thursdays. He would arrive incognito, wearing a hat and sunglasses. He'd step into her car and fully recline his seat so no one could see him.\n\nMartinez could handle the anti-abortion activist who knocked on the door posing as a reporter and wrote down her license plate number. She dismissed the plea from one of her brothers that she get a license for a concealed handgun. She could tune out the screams: \"Angela Martinez, you're killing babies!\"\n\nWhen dozens of protesters gathered on the sidewalk and their shouts could be heard inside the clinic, she turned up a dinky radio to drown out the noise for patients—and herself.\n\n\"My attitude was, 'I'm going to be fine.' I wanted my employees to be safe,\" she says. \"And I'd rather have a protester yell at me than at a patient.\"\n\nShe's now working on a graduate degree in social work at nearby Texas Tech University, but in many respects Martinez's heart remains in the past, and she still hopes she can one day return to her previous work.\n\nAlso in the past, at times, is Dorothy Boyett.\n\nFor two decades, every Thursday without fail, she stationed herself outside this Lubbock clinic. Starting at 6 a.m. and for the next eight hours—rain or shine, snow, wind, or heatwave—she had a job to do.\n\nShe says she quietly prayed and passed out Bible tracts and pamphlets about baby development. It was her ministry to offer another way.

Three more sales of items from the ship occurred in May, June, and July, featuring broken rigging, chains, pumps, and anchors, but no further beer.\n\nThe story is true: casks of beer destined for India and rescued from a shipwreck in the Irish Sea did go on sale in Liverpool, though at the end of the 1830s rather than the middle of the 1820s. However, were these Liverpool sales of several dozen hogsheads of India ale brewed by Bass’s brewery and Allsopp’s brewery in Burton upon Trent the foundation upon which the popularity of IPA in Britain was built? Alas, there is still no hard evidence for that part of the story. What evidence exists suggests that Liverpool knew about IPA before the Crusader went aground. Beer brewed for the Indian market had been available in Liverpool since at least 1825, when the Middlesex brewer Hodgson’s of Bow, one of the earliest suppliers of pale ale to the Far East, established an agency in Liverpool for the sale of \"pale bottling ale\" to \"merchants and others\". The first known use of the expression \"East India Pale Ale\" in a British publication actually comes from a Liverpool newspaper in 1835, four years before the Crusader shipwreck, when Hodgson’s beer was again being offered to \"merchants and private families\".\n\nJudging by the surge in advertisements for IPA in London newspapers, the real takeoff for the beer’s popularity appears to have been a couple of years after the Great Storm, in 1841. That was certainly the year when Bass finally opened a store in Liverpool for the sale of \"pale India ale\". A notice in Gore’s Liverpool General Advertiser on April 22nd announced the new store, declaring that \"This ale, so long celebrated in India, has now become an article of such great consumption in this country (where it is almost superseding every other sort of malt liquor)\". At the Burton Ale Stores in Ironmonger Lane, \"a Stock is kept of an age suitable for immediate consumption\". Was this, two years after the wreck of the Crusader, a result of that ship’s cargo having gone on sale in Liverpool? The verdict here, I think, has to be \"not proven\".\n\nWhy Molyneaux got the date of the IPA shipwreck so wrong is a puzzle, given that many people alive in 1869 could still remember the Night of the Big Wind thirty years earlier. While the 1839 storm is part of Ireland’s folk memory, with poems and a novel written about it, it is pretty much forgotten in Britain. This is probably because, in this island, it was only the second-worst storm of the 19th century, beaten in impact by the so-called Royal Charter storm of 1859. That storm was named for a ship that went down off Anglesey with the loss of 450 lives. Another 350 people also died during that storm, which sank 133 ships.\n\nAs a footnote, although large numbers of factories were damaged in the 1839 storm, breweries seem to have gotten off lightly. Newstead and Walker’s brewery in Bolton saw \"considerable\" damage. In Borrisokane, Tipperary, \"the chief part of the Ormond brewery was blown down\". In Dublin, nine horses belonging to Guinness & Co were killed in their stalls by a falling wall.

If I'm standing on the road and there is a car parked next to me, I never know if that is going to be the target. Maybe they will target the car in front of me or behind me. Even in mosques, if we're praying, we're worried that maybe one person who is standing with us praying is wanted. So, wherever we are, we have this fear of drones.\"\n\nA resident from the Manzar Khel area echoed these sentiments, noting, \"Now they have even targeted funerals... they have targeted people sitting together, so people are scared of everything.\"\n\nDespite official assurances that the attacks are \"surgical,\" researchers found that barely two percent of the victims are known militants. Furthermore, the idea that the strikes make the world a safer place for the United States is \"ambiguous at best.\" Researchers added that the traumatic effects of the strikes go far beyond fatalities, psychologically battering a population that lives under the daily threat of annihilation from the air and ruining the local economy. They conclude by calling on Washington to completely reassess its drone-strike program or risk alienating the very people they hope to win over. They also observe that the strikes set worrying precedents for extra-judicial killings at a time when many nations are building up their unmanned weapon arsenals.\n\nThe Obama administration is unlikely to heed these demands given the zeal with which America has expanded its drone program over the past two years. Washington maintains that the drone program is vital to combating militants that threaten the U.S. and who use Pakistan's tribal regions as a safe haven. The number of attacks has fallen since a NATO strike in 2011 killed 24 Pakistani soldiers and strained U.S.-Pakistan relations. Pakistan wants the drone strikes stopped, or it wants to control the drones directly, something the U.S. refuses.\n\nReapers and Predators are now active over the skies of Somalia and Yemen as well as Pakistan and, less covertly, Afghanistan. But campaigners like Mr. Akbar hope the Stanford/New York University research may start to make an impact on the American public. \"It's an important piece of work,\" he told The Independent. \"No one in the U.S. wants to listen to a Pakistani lawyer saying these strikes are wrong. But they might listen to American academics.\"\n\nIn a recent development, Pakistani intelligence officials revealed that a pair of missiles fired from an unmanned American spy aircraft slammed into a militant hideout in northwestern Pakistan. The two officials said missiles from the drone aircraft hit the village of Dawar Musaki in the North Waziristan region, which borders Afghanistan to the west. Some of the dead were believed to be foreign fighters, but the officials did not know how many or where they were from.\n\nThe Monday strike was the second in three days. On Saturday, a U.S. drone fired two missiles at a vehicle in northwest Pakistan, killing four suspected militants. That attack took place in the village of Mohammed Khel, also in North Waziristan.

The Tottenham Hotspur chairman had the signature on the pre-contract and was looking forward to welcoming Schalke's attacking midfielder Lewis Holtby as a Bosman free agent in June.\n\nWhen the situation altered, it is possible to imagine Levy, the arch ball-breaker, enduring all manner of agonies. André Villas-Boas, the Tottenham manager, had lost a body in midfield because Sandro was out for the season after knee surgery, and he was keen to bring forward Holtby's transfer to the current window. Whisper it to Levy, it would now cost a small fee.\n\nAnd yet, Levy's willingness to pay the £1.5m in what, for him, had to be considered an expedient fashion—more than 72 whole hours before Thursday's deadline—revealed everything that you needed to know about the deal. It was put to Villas-Boas on Tuesday lunchtime, ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League fixture at Norwich City, when Holtby will travel as part of the 19-man squad, that this was the deal of the century.\n\n\"Yes, I think so,\" he replied. \"The January market is very, very demanding.

On a purely business level, Levy would have no shortage of takers at a far higher sell-on price, even if things did not work out.\n\nIt is remarkable that one of Germany's brightest young talents has been allowed to run down his contract yet there does not seem to be any sense of recrimination. In his first appearance for Schalke since the original announcement that he would join Tottenham in June, he starred in the thrilling 5-4 home win over Hannover, making goals, scoring one and departing to an ovation upon his substitution.

This revelation made him look hypocritical, given that he had previously authorized the selective leaking of national security information to reporters. In time, we would learn that the President’s penchant for compartmentalization played a significant role in the declassification story. The only person the President had shared the declassification with personally was Vice President Cheney. Two days after the Fitzgerald disclosure, Cheney’s lawyer told reporters that the President had \"declassified the information and authorized and directed the vice president to get it out,\" but \"didn’t get into how it would be done.\" The Vice President then directed his top aide, Scooter Libby, to supply the information anonymously to reporters.\n\nGranted, I was on a business trip in India when this all unfolded, and this was a detail I initially missed. \"Cheney’s lawyer told reporters\"? I was accustomed to Libby’s lawyer, Joseph Tate, telling reporters all manner of things under the cover of anonymity prior to the indictment, and Robert Luskin’s anonymous, wild spinning of reporters went without saying.

He was not involved in selecting Scooter Libby or Judy Miller.\" Bush made the decision to put out the NIE material in late June, when the press was beginning to raise questions about the WMD but before Wilson published his op-ed piece.\n\nI double-checked with McClellan to ensure that was the public statement he meant, and he confirmed it. Dan Bartlett volunteered to me that the vice president’s lawyer was telling at least some reporters anonymously what I reference on page 295, which specifically refers to the Newsweek article. In other words, yes, Cheney’s lawyer was the one spreading that story to—of all people—Michael Isikoff. Now everything began to make sense.\n\nOne of the biggest reasons why few traditional media journalists ever realized that the whole NIE story was a cover story, designed to explain away Cheney’s order to leak something else—probably Valerie Plame’s identity—was because Michael Isikoff reported a story that, though still illogical, explained away some of the inconsistencies in the NIE story.

For further details, please refer to the gschem documentation.\n\nThe first project will be a simple LED and resistor circuit, demonstrating how to create a board, place components, and route traces. The second project will be a simple LED blinker, involving the creation of schematics, setting up a project, and designing new symbols and footprints. The third project will be another blinker, this time using surface-mount devices and a four-layer board, introducing concepts such as power planes, vias, and thermal relief.\n\n4.1 LED Board\n\nThis first board will demonstrate the basic operation of pcb. Each new command or operation will be described in full the first time it is introduced, but not in subsequent instances. Many operations can be invoked either through a menu option, such as selecting \"Quit\" from the \"File\" menu (File→Quit), or by using a keyboard shortcut, such as Ctrl+Q. When the text says Ctrl+Q, it means to hold the Ctrl key while pressing the Q key. Similarly, Shift+Q means to hold either Shift key while pressing the Q key.\n\nFor example, the first time the Quit command is described, the instruction will read: \"now exit pcb by using the Quit command (File→Quit or Ctrl+Q).\" Any other time, the instruction will simply say \"now Quit.\"\n\nThe first step in this project is to run pcb. Since pcb defaults to using the current directory for its files, it is advisable to create a new subdirectory for this project, navigate into it via a terminal window, and then run pcb from that location.\n\nNow is a good time to practice the Quit command.\n\nAdditionally, if you ever seek help for pcb from someone else, they will likely need to know what version and GUI you are using. To check this, use the About command (Window→About...).\n\nNote that when pcb starts, it creates not only its main window but also two additional windows. One is the \"PCB Library,\" which will be discussed later, and the other is the \"PCB Log,\" which contains all messages, including warnings and errors. For now, you can simply move these windows out of the way. If you close them, you can reopen them using Window→Library and Window→Message Log.\n\nFor any board you create, one of the first decisions you must make is the board size. If you want it to be \"as small as possible,\" you can create it larger than needed and resize it later. For this simple board, we can estimate the size: we want it to be one inch by one inch. The board size controls are located in the Preferences window (File→Preferences), which contains both board-specific and user-specific preferences. We need the Sizes preferences, so click on the word Sizes. The window should look like this:\n\nWe will not be using the Text Scale or DRC preferences at this time. Note that the units are in mils, so the default board size is six inches wide and five inches high. Change these numbers to 1000.0 each:\n\nNext, we will set up our layers, which define how many copper layers we will have and what they will be called. Select the Layers preferences. You will see three tabs along the top; click on the Groups tab to show the layer group preferences. For this project, we only need to ensure that the solder layer is on the solder side and the component layer is on the component side.

Now that the board is complete, the next steps depend on how you plan to manufacture it. If you intend to make the board yourself, you will likely want to print the layout. If you are sending it to a manufacturer, they will typically require Gerber files.\n\nIn the File menu, there are three options of interest. The \"Print Layout\" option prints your design, but note that it will generate 11 pages of board layers. This is probably not what you normally want, but we will proceed with it for demonstration purposes. There are many options available, but only a couple are critical at this stage. Select \"fill-page\" and \"ps-color\" and click OK. The \"fill-page\" option zooms the print to fill the page, while \"ps-color\" causes each layer to be printed in the same color as it appears on the screen. If you are making boards at home using toner transfer, you should turn these options off and enable \"mirror\" instead.\n\nIn most cases, you do not want to print the entire design. Instead, you will typically use the \"Export Layout\" option to export your design in a format that others can use. When you export, a list of possible export types is offered. Select \"gerber\" to create Gerber (RS-274X) files, which are the industry standard for describing circuit boards. Click \"verbose\" and then OK. You will see output in your terminal similar to the following:\n\nGerber: 5 apertures in fb-led.front.gbr\nGerber: 5 apertures in fb-led.back.gbr\nGerber: 3 apertures in fb-led.frontmask.gbr\nGerber: 3 apertures in fb-led.backmask.gbr\nGerber: 2 apertures in fb-led.plated-drill.cnc\nGerber: 3 apertures in fb-led.frontsilk.gbr\nGerber: 3 apertures in fb-led.fab.gbr\n\nFor a single-sided board, most fabrication houses will require the back, backmask, plated-drill, frontsilk, and fab files. The software always produces \"positive\" Gerbers in case the manufacturer requests them.\n\nFor home fabrication, you should print without the \"ps-color\" or \"fill-page\" options. For this simple board, printer calibration is not necessary. If you are drilling your own holes, you may want to select the \"drill helper\" option, which reduces the diameter of the holes in the copper wherever you are drilling to help you center the drill properly. If you use the PostScript exporter, selecting the \"multi-file\" option places each layer in a separate file. This allows you to print only the layers you are interested in.\n\nLet us review what we have produced. Exit the program via File > Quit Program and return to your terminal. I use the free programs gv and gerbv to view my exported files. gv is a GhostScript viewer, but your desktop environment likely knows how to handle .ps files if you double-click them in your file browser. gerbv is a Gerber file viewer that is part of the gEDA suite. You can view the files using the command:\n\n$ gerbv fb-led.*.gbr fb-led.*.cnc\n\nThat concludes the export process. The next step is to actually manufacture the board or have it made, which is beyond the scope of this tutorial.\n\n4.2 Blinker Board\n\nThis next board introduces additional concepts in pcb that will help you with more complex designs. It is assumed that you have completed the previous board, so those concepts will not be re-explained. This board will be another single-sided design, but with additional components.

In 1974, a reporter chanced upon him in an Amsterdam café where he was sipping on gin. Asked how he passed his time, Serpico claimed that his days were mostly spent contrasting animal and human behavior.

He also boasts support from Michigan Right to Life, former Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce, and, most notably, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. However, as of Friday morning, none of those organizations had made a serious financial investment in the race. Fundraising reports did show that several pro-Israel groups made significant investments in Ellis' campaign.\n\nEllis has one other great hope: a substantial, last-minute television blitz from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The group's perfect streak of spending in GOP primaries ended on Tuesday when Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., lost the runoff for Senate. The chamber had spent more on Kingston's bid than on any other primary campaign this cycle.\n\nMeanwhile, outside groups have come in big and early for Amash. The Club for Growth's independent expenditure arm, which has a mixed record this cycle, is credited with recognizing the Ellis threat early and protecting Amash. They spent $368,000 on the airwaves and bundled $274,000 in contributions for Amash's campaign, according to spokesman Barney Keller. \"Club for Growth Action's most recent TV ad buy ended on Monday,\" Keller said via email. \"We are confident that Congressman Amash is in a very strong position for reelection, but we continue to closely monitor the race, and we might or might not return to the TV airwaves prior to Election Day.\"\n\nAmericans for Prosperity also made a positive buy for Amash early this year, and Citizens United directly donated to his campaign. But if Amash wins the GOP primary next week, as most Republicans expect, his Hill adversaries will watch his margin. If he wins by less than 10 percent and continues to aggravate his own conference, things might be different next cycle.\n\n\"It takes a long time to get people to focus and to be willing to take that plunge, because going against an incumbent is a risk,\" the Republican said. \"But given his voting record, in this case, there really is no risk.\"\n\nRelated Stories: U.S. Chamber Backs Justin Amash Primary Opponent Conservatives Regroup to Force Leadership to Change Kingston Counts on Hill Connections in Senate Runoff Club for Growth Stumbles With Mississippi Senate Loss Roll Call Election Map: Race Ratings for Every Seat Get breaking news alerts and more from Roll Call in your inbox or on your iPhone.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4830, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "af6383c719e0226b3f663228ff1b27d79a3faa4d", "raw_chars": 3487, "clean_chars": 3492, "edit_ratio": 0.0368, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It's all about perception management.

The facility has become an island protected by berms and sandbags in the middle of a temporary lake, a scenario that has never occurred at an American nuclear power plant before. While the plant's owners and government regulators report that operations are proceeding normally, the situation warrants a balanced assessment of both nervousness and reassurance.\n\nOn the positive side, the plant's single reactor has been in cold shutdown since April for maintenance. However, this is not a guarantee against complications. The Fukushima Daiichi disaster serves as a cautionary example: Reactor 4 was also undergoing maintenance, yet the spent fuel in its cooling ponds overheated, leading to hydrogen explosions and fires. Nevertheless, a reactor in cold shutdown is significantly less vulnerable than one that is actively operating.\n\nConversely, the plant faced issues with federal regulators last year because its flood defenses did not meet standards. Yet, this regulatory action has resulted in newly improved and inspected flood defenses, which are now in place as part of mandated upgrades. Additionally, floods develop more slowly than earthquakes and tsunamis, giving Fort Calhoun time to enhance its preparedness. The facility has constructed dams around both the plant and the electrical substations that supply its primary power source. Furthermore, weeks' worth of fuel has been stockpiled for backup generators, ensuring that fuel rods will continue to be cooled even if the main power lines fail.\n\nDespite these measures, the effectiveness of the preparedness depends on specific conditions. According to the Omaha World Herald, the Army Corps of Engineers expects the river to crest at no higher than 1,008 feet, while the flood barriers are designed to protect the plant up to 1,010 feet. This leaves little margin for error. If rainfall becomes extraordinarily heavy again, the river could crest higher, placing Fort Calhoun at much greater risk. In such a scenario, it is hoped that the reactor containment structure would remain as watertight as advertised, preventing water from reaching the spent fuel pool, which is situated on higher ground at 1,038.5 feet.\n\nThe plant has also experienced a couple of minor incidents. On June 7, the cooling pools lost power for an hour and a half due to an electrical fire. Later, on the 26th, a segment of the secondary flood berm collapsed. Because the berm was water-filled, its collapse caused some flooding within the plant, although the main floodwaters were kept at bay. This incident forced a temporary switch to backup power.\n\nIn summary, the available information suggests that the situation is currently under control and that the plant's owners are prepared for the immediate challenges. However, it is too soon to determine how events will unfold or whether being prepared for the current situation equates to being ready for a worse, yet plausible, scenario.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4843, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a3060d7e0a1b37e617010fd153a14898017d7f61", "raw_chars": 3401, "clean_chars": 3281, "edit_ratio": 0.0216, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "BIDDEFORD — The pickup truck driver who allegedly struck a family of bicyclists in Biddeford last week had been drinking, police said Thursday, a day after the father hit by the truck died of his injuries.\n\nAn analysis of the driver’s blood taken at the hospital showed he had been drinking, despite being forbidden to have any trace of alcohol in his system while driving, police said.\n\nRescuers attended to one of the victims at the scene of the crash in Biddeford on Friday.

But an assistant York County district attorney drafted a search warrant showing probable cause that Labonte had been drinking, based on reports from rescue workers and other first responders at the scene, Beaupre said.\n\n“We had probable cause (to believe) the person had been drinking prior to the accident,” Beaupre said. “We have a ballpark idea what his numbers are going to be.”\n\nBeaupre noted that the hospital ran an analysis on a sample of Labonte’s blood, and a sample was also sent to the State Crime Lab in Augusta for testing. He said he has been asked by prosecutors not to release the actual blood-alcohol content in the sample analyzed by the hospital, but that it tested positive for the presence of alcohol.\n\nLabonte has been staying with his parents in Biddeford.

Before examining those responses, it is worth reviewing the advertisement itself.\n\nConsistent with past strategies, the Church of Scientology opted to purchase local-market spots in specific areas rather than airing a 30-second national commercial. This approach, which costs approximately $1 million, is significantly cheaper than a national broadcast, which ran about $5 million this year.

The report explained that in 2005, the new director signed off on the destruction of dozens of interrogation tapes of al Qaeda members, including Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri — an incident that is still viewed by some as a concerted cover-up. In Thursday’s New York Times, it was reported that the new director and her boss, former clandestine service chief Jose Rodriguez, \"were the two main drivers for years for getting the tapes destroyed.\" The new director also helped run the CIA’s interrogation and detention program and oversaw one of the agency’s secret prisons. In justifying her ascent to the top of the clandestine service, a former CIA official told The Post that having a female lead the male-dominated department \"would be a home run from a diversity standpoint.\"\n\nCarle rejected that rationale. \"Being a ‘home run from a diversity standpoint’ is not a qualification for the job,\" he told Foreign Policy.\n\nCarle, who served 23 years in the clandestine service, dealt firsthand with the enhanced interrogation program in the aftermath of 9/11 and discussed it at length in his 2011 book, The Interrogator. He is the first former CIA officer to speak out publicly about the promotion. \"My understanding is that the United States prosecuted Japanese soldiers after World War II for having waterboarded Allied soldiers,\" he said. \"Perhaps we should avoid raising to the highest position in the Clandestine Services someone so directly implicated in the same practice … this time engaged in by Americans.\"\n\nSince the director in question remains undercover and cannot defend herself, we reached out to the CIA to speak on her behalf. Spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood told Foreign Policy that the acting director \"is one of the most senior and respected officers in the Agency and is, of course, a strong candidate for the job.\"\n\nCurrently, the woman in question is under consideration to retain the position of acting director permanently.

Previously, he served as Chef’s Vice President of IT Operations. We recently spoke with Pauly about his tenure as Director of Operations and Application Support at a software company with approximately 200 employees, where he introduced Chef and fostered a DevOps culture. His experience reflects a journey many have made to move away from manual processes and the negative effects of organizational silos. Pauly’s DevOps story follows.\n\nInitially, I was responsible for only two teams, but this eventually grew to eight teams with a strong focus on DevOps. One group consisted of system administrators who were strictly focused on infrastructure. They handled the network and storage area networks (SANs), configured hardware, and went to the data center to rack and stack equipment—the usual tasks. This was before the cloud era, or at least when the cloud was still in its infancy.\n\nThe other group was the application team, which was also part of operations. This team existed because the application developers did not want to be responsible for troubleshooting the application once it was deployed. They stated, \"We’re not going to be on call, and we’re not responsible for running the code. Once it’s in operations, it’s operations’ responsibility.\" This stance completely contradicted one of the main tenets of DevOps, which holds that you are responsible for what you create.\n\nConsequently, we created an application team within operations. Composed of former developers, support staff, and system administrators who were interested in operations, their entire job was to maintain the application after deployment. They released the code, monitored the application, and were on call for any application-related issues. This team operated alongside the other operations teams.\n\nLater, we formed a third group, the release team, which took over the job of deployments. The release team was cross-functional, with members from varying disciplines: one developer, one QA person, some system administrators, and a project manager who ensured that the features on the roadmap were the ones in the pipeline.\n\nWhen the release team first started, we did everything manually and used a package called ControlTier. There were six server pods, and it used to take about 12 hours on a weekend to deploy to one of them. It was miserable. Nine times out of ten, we ended up rolling back. I used to joke that operations’ job was rolling back code. The code wasn’t tested by the developers, as the focus was on features rather than bug fixes, and QA had basically given up on the feedback loop. We would deploy it and roll it right back because it simply didn’t work. The whole system was broken.\n\nIn the next part of this DevOps story, coming the week of February 9, Pauly will reveal the proposed solution to his situation and how it was actually implemented.

When I meet him, he is working on a bedside table. \"I live in a 1,200-square-foot condo. There is no garage,\" Donegan says. \"Even if I wanted to build something like this at home, I couldn't.\"\n\n\"It is a lot of self-learning,\" says Isabella Musachio, general manager of the Crystal City location. The eighth and latest TechShop to open, the Crystal City studio is situated in a walkable part of the suburb, sandwiched between two popular locally owned eateries, We the Pizza and Good Stuff. The storefront space looks like it could fit on any city block. Yet at nearly 20,000 square feet, TechShop is deceptively large, with studios for textiles, metalworking, 3-D printing, electronics, design, and more. You could think of TechShop as a dream garage. You could also think of TechShop as the factory floor of the maker movement.\n\nAt this point in time, the maker movement itself doesn't need much introduction, even if its implements, like computer numerically controlled devices and 3-D printers, still require some unpacking. In June, President Barack Obama gave a talk about the future of manufacturing and innovation at Pittsburgh's TechShop. He also hosted the first-ever White House Maker Faire, where he messed with a 17-foot robot giraffe and a 3-D printer that produced pancakes, among other gizmos. While the endorsement of the president speaks to the promise of DIY digital manufacturing, for many people, the tools might as well belong to a wizard. People who have access to a 3-D printer, in Washington, D.C. that is actually anyone with a library card, may not have the software training or even a good reason to do much with it. So the conversation about making, at a national or economic level, is largely concerned with what comes next, once consumers catch up with the technology. And the competition to be there when they get there is fierce. Walmart may be printing its own supplies soon, cutting costs for inventory on things like auto parts or school supplies. For Amazon, 3-D printing will change its services and its supply chain every bit as much. Meanwhile, MakerBot seeks to turn 3-D printers into familiar at-home appliances, 21st-century versions of the microwave oven.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4895, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9e35f083c85f03d0dfd828acf90588d6c72f0389", "raw_chars": 1251, "clean_chars": 1026, "edit_ratio": 0.7479, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Northern Territory government has stated its willingness to accept Syrian refugees from non-Muslim backgrounds, emphasizing the need for vigilance in the immigration process.

Obama has insisted that if the US does not \"write the rules\" on trade for the twenty-first century, then they will be written by China. The TPP would require its members to scrap all legal, regulatory, and government impediments to American investment and corporate operations.\n\nMany governments in South East Asia, including New Zealand's, confront a strategic dilemma. They have close security ties with the United States, but their major trading partner is China. The Beijing leadership has sought to utilize its economic influence to counter the diplomatic and military pressure it faces from Washington.\n\nChina has advanced, as an alternative to the TPP, the establishment of a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. It would comprise Australia, Japan, India, South Korea, China, and New Zealand, as well as the 10 members of the Association of South East Asian Nations. Trade Minister Groser warned in a television interview in June that if the TPP should stall until 2018, \"the rest of us will move on to other opportunities.\"\n\nThis prospect has begun to alarm an increasingly bellicose and xenophobic layer around the Labour Party, unions, and pseudo-left groups, who are ramping up anti-Chinese sentiment in order to divert blame for the soaring cost of housing and the deepening social crisis, while seeking to further integrate New Zealand into the war aims of US imperialism.\n\nIn a post on the trade union-funded The Daily Blog on July 29, prominent pro-Labour columnist Chris Trotter announced an about-turn on his previous anti-TPP stance. Two days later, he warned his friends on the \"Left\" to \"be careful what you wish for.\" Trotter noted a looming collapse of the Chinese economy, which, he claimed, threatens to \"panic China's leaders into a series of ultra-nationalist distractions in the South China Sea or along the Sino-Indian border.\" He concluded: \"Having all our economic (and most of our diplomatic) eggs in a single Chinese basket could prove to be very awkward.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 4892, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "cb8446cbc6e453094d54c8eeaa7446f95d40b783", "raw_chars": 2227, "clean_chars": 2152, "edit_ratio": 0.1898, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It’s Friday again, and that means it’s time for Fi*Fridays and Fifty Linden Fridays!

This month we celebrate and honor the #LGBTQ community.\" However, these expressions of support were poorly received by many on Twitter, with users pointing out that neither Ivanka nor her father are typically viewed as allies of the community.\n\nCritics highlighted the administration's actions, such as the reversal of policies protecting transgender students' bathroom access, as well as Vice President Mike Pence's longstanding opposition to same-sex marriage and his apparent support for conversion therapy. One user remarked, \"You don't get to honor the LGBTQ community when the VP supports gay conversion therapy and your dad supports bathroom bills.\" Another added, \"You openly supported and campaigned for the most anti-LGBTQ+ presidential ticket in recent times.

They forced their way into the building's wide hall, driving back and forth like they were in a bumper-car arena, causing widespread devastation before fleeing with their faces covered by hoods or caps. They were arrested the following day by the Carabinieri, revealing the suspects to be two Tunisian nationals and one from Senegal—two sixteen-year-olds and one seventeen-year-old.

Two hours before targeting the school, the trio had entered the city's school bus depot and stolen two minibuses, using the courtyard in front of the depot for reckless bumper-car-style driving that irreparably damaged the vehicles. The destruction escalated as they commandeered three more buses, each taking the wheel, and drove for about thirty kilometers through and around Carpi. They rammed into each other, overtook one another, destroyed road signs, ruined curbs, and performed dangerous high-speed maneuvers on the ring road, even invading the opposing traffic lane. It was a miracle that no one was hit. But the ordeal was just beginning.\n\nWhen they arrived at the Meucci Institute, one suspect smashed through the main gate, another breached the pedestrian entrance, and the third crashed into the school's atrium.

Investigators reported that they drove to Cibeno, a peripheral neighborhood of Carpi, where they continued their dangerous driving for about fifteen minutes before launching the minibus at over 90 kilometers per hour into a reed bed.

Williams, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Central Florida who also went undrafted, signed a deal that could be converted into a two-way contract. Two-way contracts were introduced under the new collective-bargaining agreement that took effect on July 1. They allow NBA teams to retain the rights to two players on their developmental league squads. Players under two-way contracts can spend up to 45 days with their NBA teams, with the remainder of their time spent with the team's G League affiliate. Miami's developmental affiliate is the Sioux Falls Skyforce.\n\nThe two players will be with the team when training camp opens on September 26.

Be wary of trying to jump between platforms or stepping off the edge of the one you are on. If you fall a considerable distance, you will come to the shattering conclusion that it may have been a mistake. Be careful of anything overhead when building upwards.\n\nShapes can also be rotated using the R key. Placing shapes involves determining what you want to do and maneuvering the camera to a position where you can actually do it, using the green outline of shape faces as a guide. Here, Patterns again follows the Second Life model: camera placement leaves a lot to be desired. You can toggle between views using the TAB key and move the camera up, down, left, and right by moving the cursor around the screen, but it is still somewhat of a hassle. This is especially true if you are a Second Life user, as the temptation to press ESC to reset the camera is strong; however, in Patterns, this will only display the main menu.\n\nNevertheless, with a little trial and error, it is possible to start building things. As my first bridge between platforms demonstrates, even if it did start sounding like the rock was about to collapse as it neared completion. Remember that you can jump, so it is not always necessary to completely bridge chasms.\n\nCollecting shapes allows you to construct more complex objects, not all of which need be static. Wheels, for example, can be pushed and rolled. Existing objects, such as trees, can be made to fall and form stepping stones if \"busted\" correctly. You can also create shapes of your own using a kind of workbench, one or more of which can be found in the world for those who look.\n\nNot everything is in plain sight, so be prepared to look up and down and to break through walls.\n\nThere is probably far more to Patterns than this, with things I have likely missed in this first look.

The ceremony was overseen by NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller and Moldovan Prime Minister Pavel Filip. The opening had been delayed for over two years.\n\n\"The office should have been opened in 2015,\" Moldovan political analyst Mihai Popsoi told Euronews. \"But due to political instability and then because of some long technical delay, it was only inaugurated in December 2017.

It’s a chore, to be certain, one so notoriously laborious it leads many bibliophiles to shed large portions of their libraries in the interest of avoiding the worst of it. But screw that, I say! I will cart these stupid things with me every place I live, and what’s more, my labor continually increases, as I now receive books in the mail on a daily basis from publishers, editors and even the writers themselves, and I still purchase books (mostly used, which pretty much translates to bulk). But I don’t care. The weight is worth the lifting.\n\nBut even for those who loathe the process of moving a library, once the boxes are firmly stacked in the new digs, you get to create a whole new one, and this is the great joy I referred to. Most literary types acquire so many new books that whatever system they’d installed in their old place inevitably breaks down and becomes overrun with precarious stacks of the dreaded unshelved. In a new home, though, we get to start afresh, create a new system. It can be tedious and tempestuous but it’s ultimately cathartic. At least for me, I mean, shit, I don’t know you.\n\nAnyway, so I spent my Superbowl Sunday organizing the most important section of any critic’s collection: literary criticism and biography. Not only is this my favorite shit to read, but I also refer to them so often that they’re also the most practically necessary. After I finished, I posted a photo of the beautifully and temporarily full shelves (I’ve already pulled like six books off that I’m using for current pieces) on Twitter, and someone asked me if I had any particular favorites. I wasn’t at home when I got the tweet, so to even consider responding at the time was unthinkable. I pondered for a few seconds before immediately becoming overwhelmed. When I returned later and stared at the shelves, it occurred to me that I’ve been asked this question quite a few times. Perhaps this is because as a self-identifying literary critic there isn’t much else for people to ask me—this field doesn’t exactly make for the most riveting party talk. But whatever the reason, I thought I’d put together a list of the criticism that I most admire and to which I repeatedly refer. This is, of course, an extremely limited list, taken exclusively from books I own. Also for the sake of my sanity, I excluded all single-subject biographies and criticism on film or music; only fiction, poetry, and drama. Memoirs counted only if they directly involve other writers and/or the literary landscape of the era. It is in no way meant to be a list of the world’s indispensible literary criticism, only my own, and only so far.\n\nSo to that guy on Twitter, and to those who’ve asked me before, here is my belated reply.\n\n(Note: the list is in alphabetical order by author, or subject for biographies, except for two anthologies at the start of the list, which are alphabetical by title.)\n\n(Also note: this shit was hard. I initially wanted to do 50 but my first list stretched to nearly 175 titles. These 102 are, believe it or not, a compromise.)\n\n102 Indispensible Volumes of Literary Criticism\n\nA New Literary History of America, ed.

For more information on this casino, please click here.\n\nThe casino in Aachen was the second casino in my journey to all European casinos. The official name of the casino is “Spielbank Aachen“. I got there on the 29th of June, 2012, at around 19:00. This time I had company.\n\nThe casino is situated on the Monheimsallee, which is easy to reach by car. There is a parking garage right next to the casino. The casino is within walking distance from the city center. However, from the central train station you better take a cab.\n\nThe Casino Aachen is located in a very impressive building. The building’s façade resembles a Roman temple. There is a nice park on one side of the casino. The congress center “Eurogress” is located on the other side of the casino.\n\nSlots moved to the city center\n\nThe first thing I noticed was the sign saying that the slots hall was moved from the Casino Aachen to the city center (Kapuzinercarree).\n\nWe then passed through the huge Roman columns of the grand entry to the casino. We got into the lobby area where we were welcomed by the friendly receptionist.\n\nEntrance to the casino is five Euros. You have to be at least 18 to enter and present a valid ID or Passport. There is no real dress code at the Casino Aachen anymore. You can get in with jeans and a polo shirt. I even saw young guys on the poker tables wearing jeans and t-shirt but I saw no one wearing trainers.\n\nPoker Cash Game at the Casino Aachen\n\nThe Casino Aachen is one floor. To the left of the entrance, there are three large and spacy poker rooms. Poker cash games only start at 20:00. The poker rooms were empty when we arrived, and so we were allowed to inspect and take picture of the rooms. We counted 13 poker tables. We didn’t have time to wait until 20:00 because we wanted to visit another casino that same evening. As we left the Casino Aachen around 20:00 the poker tables started to fill with relatively young guys.\n\nLive Table Games at the Casino Aachen\n\nThe live table games area of the Casino Aachen is located to the right of the entrance. We counted 12 American Roulette tables. Four tabled were open when we arrived, with limits of between 2 and 7000 Euros. The maximu changes acording to the type of bet you make. If you bet on plain, your maximum is 250 Euros, if you bet on simple chances it is 7,000 Euros.\n\nThere are screens above the roulette tables showing the results of the last draws in columns of red and black. Several players where using these screens to play trend follow strategies.\n\nThere was also one open blackjack table. The limits were between 5 and 250 Euros.\n\nSmoking is not allowed in the casino. There is a smoking area located next to the bar in the live table games area. I had a cigarette there and found the atmosphere to be nice. There is a little bit of a cigarettes smell from the smoking area in the live table games area but it is not too bad.

This raises the question of what prevented widespread habitat destruction during the Pleistocene epoch, a time when ecosystems sustained many species of huge herbivores. To address this, researchers used data on predator-prey body mass relationships to predict the prey size ranges of large extinct mammalian carnivores, which were more diverse and significantly larger than living species. By comparing these predicted prey size ranges with estimates of young mammoth sizes, they found that juvenile mammoths and mastodons fell within the prey size ranges of many Pleistocene carnivores. Based on this and other fossil evidence, they argue that large carnivores had a major impact on Pleistocene ecosystems by limiting the population sizes of megaherbivores.\n\nLarge mammalian terrestrial herbivores, such as elephants, have dramatic effects on the ecosystems they inhabit. At high population densities, their environmental impacts can be devastating. Pleistocene terrestrial ecosystems included a much greater diversity of megaherbivores, such as mammoths, mastodons, and giant ground sloths, creating a greater potential for widespread habitat degradation if population sizes were not limited. Nevertheless, based on modern observations, it is generally believed that populations of megaherbivores weighing over 800 kilograms are largely immune to the effects of predation, and this perception has been extended into the Pleistocene. However, the species richness of big carnivores was greater in the Pleistocene, and many of them were significantly larger than their modern counterparts. Fossil evidence suggests that interspecific competition among carnivores was relatively intense and reveals that some individuals specialized in consuming megaherbivores. To estimate the potential impact of Pleistocene large carnivores, researchers used both historic and modern data on predator-prey body mass relationships to predict the size ranges of their typical and maximum prey when hunting as individuals and in groups. These prey size ranges were then compared with estimates of juvenile and subadult proboscidean body sizes derived from extant elephant growth data. Young proboscideans at their most vulnerable age fall within the predicted prey size ranges of many Pleistocene carnivores. Predation on juveniles can have a greater impact on megaherbivores because of their long interbirth intervals.

She cruised by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round before coming back from a set down against fourth seed Elena Dementieva, Maria Sharapova, and then 13th-seed Nadia Petrova, throwing Arthur Ashe Stadium into a frenzy each time.\n\n“I remember just how inspired I was by that run,” former World No. 24 Christina McHale, who earned a wild card into the event as a 17-year-old, said. “I think like she beat so many top, amazing players and I just remember it was such an inspiration seeing someone who I grew up playing juniors with and stuff doing so well.”\n\nAfter losing to eventual finalist Caroline Wozniacki, Oudin worked her way up to as high as No. 31 in the world. In 2011, she won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title with Jack Sock and later her lone WTA crown in 2012.\n\n“I don’t want people to define me just by that U.S. Open in 2009,” Oudin said. “I just feel like there have been a lot of other good things in my career.”\n\nThe success was short-lived, though. Oudin most recently fell out of the top 100 in June of 2013 when she failed to defend her lone title, which came on grass in Birmingham. The WTA lists Oudin at 5'6\"—relatively undersized, as only five women in the top 20 are the same height or shorter. The sport has seen an increase in powerful baseliners, forcing smaller players like Oudin who may not have the strength to hit through opponents to find other ways to win.\n\n“You can see the way she looks she won’t hurt you with a powerful serve, or she won’t hurt you with the killing shots,” former World No. 2 Vera Zvonareva once said of Oudin’s game. “She will make you play a lot of balls. She’s a good mover on the court. She’s one of those players that make you work to beat her.”\n\nBut working her way back up the rankings and to the level at which she proved she could play as a teenager was not just a matter of performance on-court.\n\n“I had rhabdomyolysis, that crazy muscle condition,” Oudin said. “That was the first thing I really had at the end of 2012, the beginning of 2013.”\n\nRhabdomyolysis causes muscle weakness, fatigue and soreness—not ideal symptoms for a professional athlete who spends their time running around and hitting tennis balls for a living.

That was until one incident in 2013.\n\n“It was like spring, summer, the end of a match. I couldn’t stand up and just feel good,” Oudin said. “I had to lay down. I couldn’t take a shower.

For one thing, the king of all right-wing media talks about it all the time -- more on that in a second. What's more, the horrors of Sept. 11, 2001, are pretty much what made the Fox News Channel host into the national lightning rod that he is today. It was the vehicle that caused him to complete his journey from a Morning Zoo \"rodeo clown\" to a political guy who suddenly was replacing the so-9/10 Laura Schlessinger on radio outlets coast to coast and then leading a series of transparently self-serving honoring-the-troops rallies for Clear Channel.\n\nBut Beck has talked a lot about 9/11 over nine years -- and with the highly notable exception of his bizarre September 2005 attack on the family members of victims of the terrorist attack, the emphasis has been on extreme reverence for that day in American history. When he was getting off the ground on FNC, he used the images of 9/11 to launch project he claimed would bring Americans back together.\n\nAs recounted in my new book The Backlash, he said of the attacks on his now infamous March 13, 2009, \"We Surround Them\" program:\n\n\"[t]he skies were filled with black clouds and our hearts were full of terror and fear. We realized -- for the first time -- how fragile we really were.\" As Beck addressed his coast-to-coast audience, viewers saw images of anguished, tearful women, head in hands, mouths agape, staring at the hellish fires of the World Trade Center, then a mother racing down a Manhattan byway pushing two children in a stroller, away from the deadly dust.\n\nThe 9/12 Project, which devolved in a matter of days into an anti-Barack Obama backlash movement, was described by Beck as aimed:\n\nto bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and the principles of the greatest nation ever created.\n\nIn fact, Beck even told his much ballyhooed Restoring Honor rally in D.C. last month that 9/11 was a sign from the Almighty, presumably to turn Americans away from things like greed and back to the things that really matter:\n\nBECK: He has been sending us wake-up calls, and you can send two kinds of wake-up calls. One through fear, like 9/11. Nine-eleven woke us up, and we stood shoulder-to-shoulder for a very short period of time. Politics didn't matter. Color didn't matter. It didn't matter if you were poor or if you were rich. We were Americans together. Beyond that, we were God's human creation standing together.\n\nSo, with that all as a backdrop, what matters the most to Glenn Beck on September 11, 2010, the ninth anniversary of the day that terrorists slaughtered nearly 3,000 innocent Americans and ripped apart the lives of their families and friends?\n\nCashing in, apparently.\n\nIn Palinland, of all places.\n\nThe spiritual guru of the 9-12 Project will be marking the anniversay of 9-11 along with his new best friend Sarah Palin with a high-priced (and as far as the actual program goes, somewhat mysterious) event at the Dena'ina Center in Anchorage, Alaska.

In response, Geithner launched a campaign to highlight the severe consequences of failing to raise the debt limit, issuing a formal letter to Congress that warned of potential financial catastrophe.\n\nIn the letter addressed to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, Geithner provided an updated projection on when the statutory debt limit would be reached. He noted that while previous communications had offered general estimates, the Treasury Department could now pinpoint the timeline with greater precision. The department projected that the debt limit would be reached no later than May 16, 2011.\n\nGeithner explained that if the limit was not increased by that date, the Treasury would be authorized to employ extraordinary measures to temporarily postpone a default on U.S. obligations. These measures, which had been used during previous debt limit impasses, would be exhausted after approximately eight weeks. Consequently, no borrowing headroom within the limit would remain after roughly July 8, 2011. At that point, the Treasury would have no remaining borrowing authority, and available cash balances would be insufficient to meet commitments securely.\n\nThe Secretary emphasized that while he would take all available measures to buy Congress additional time and protect the country's creditworthiness, these steps offered only limited flexibility—far less than when deficits were smaller. He reiterated that increasing the debt limit was necessary to allow the United States to meet obligations previously authorized and appropriated by Congress. Raising the limit does not create new obligations; it simply permits the Treasury to fund those already established.\n\nGeithner warned that failure to increase the debt limit would force the government to stop, limit, or delay a broad range of payments. This would include military salaries and retirement benefits, Social Security and Medicare payments, interest on the debt, unemployment benefits, and tax refunds. Such disruptions would cause severe hardship for American families and raise concerns about the nation's ability to defend its security interests. Furthermore, defaulting on legal obligations would lead to sharply higher interest rates and borrowing costs, declining home values, and reduced retirement savings. The Secretary concluded that default would trigger a financial crisis potentially more severe than the one from which the country was only beginning to recover.\n\nHe stressed that default by the United States was unthinkable, noting that this was not a new or partisan judgment but a conclusion shared by every Secretary of the Treasury in the modern era, regardless of political affiliation. Identical letters were sent to the House Speaker and other congressional leaders.\n\nDespite the dire warnings, the letter suggested that no serious repercussions would occur until July 8, when the extraordinary measures would be exhausted.

Following a period of rapid growth in the early years of the decade, cyberlockers are quickly losing ground while BitTorrent sites continue to expand. This shift in the digital landscape can be largely attributed to the shutdown of Megaupload and the subsequent changes within the cyberlocker market.\n\nLess than two years ago, an overview of the most-used file-sharing sites was published, covering both BitTorrent networks and traditional cyberlockers. At that time, one-click download sites were dominating BitTorrent platforms by a significant margin. However, the cyberlocker business underwent a dramatic transformation following the Megaupload shutdown, causing the tables to turn.\n\nThe Pirate Bay, which was ranked sixth in the previous analysis, has now become the most-used file-sharing site. While the infamous BitTorrent platform certainly attracted new visitors in recent months, its ascent to the top spot is primarily due to the traffic decline of several major cyberlockers.\n\nThe most likely explanation for the traffic drop at these sites is the Megaupload shutdown. As has been extensively covered, many cyberlockers responded by removing their affiliate plans, disabling public sharing, or implementing other measures to deter piracy. This resulted in a major shift in traffic patterns, creating both winners and losers. Several familiar names have fallen from the rankings, including RapidShare, FileServe, and Hotfile. Meanwhile, other platforms such as Uploaded and Putlocker have gained new visitors.\n\nThe overall pattern indicates that BitTorrent sites have regained some of the \"market share\" they lost in earlier years.

With six newcomers on the list, it is clear that the file-sharing ecosystem has been significantly disrupted.\n\nThe following is the full top ten of the most-visited general-purpose file-sharing sites available in English.

Kennedy declared that the separation of church and state is absolute. On immigration, the issue that will define the Republican Party's relationship with Hispanics, the harsh rhetoric of Romney, Santorum, and Newt Gingrich has alarmed senior Republicans. Rudy Giuliani recently said that the candidates' statements on some social issues make the Party look like it isn't a modern party. Jeb Bush has lamented that the candidates were appealing to people's fears and emotion, and wondered if he is still a member of the same tribe. \"I used to be a conservative,\" he said.\n\nPolitical parties aren't supposed to act suicidal. For decades, the reigning theory held that politicians, not activists, defined the parties. These politicians were rational people who cared only about winning office. In his 1957 book, \"An Economic Theory of Democracy,\" Anthony Downs argued that candidates, in their Darwinian struggle to get elected in a two-party system, would cater, inevitably, to what Downs called the median voter. Even in a primary campaign, the powerful incentive of having to win over centrists in the general election should keep a candidate's ideology in check.\n\nBut, in the current Republican race, if the so-called median voter were mentioned at a debate, he would surely get booed. A more recent theory about parties better explains the G.O.P. race. In 2008, John Zaller, a political scientist at U.C.L.A., and three co-authors—Marty Cohen, David Karol, and Hans Noel—published an influential book, \"The Party Decides,\" in which they claim that Downs had it all wrong. The activists, not the candidates, are the crucial players who define and control a party. Interest groups and partisans, like the ones who organize and attend CPAC, care a great deal about policy and ideology, not just about electability, and they decide who gets nominated. Zaller and his colleagues dub them intense policy demanders, which, in today's G.O.P., includes all the familiar factions: religious leaders, gun enthusiasts, business elites, anti-tax activists, foreign-policy hawks. Their mission is to find the most extreme candidate who can win.\n\nThe ideal candidate is someone like George W. Bush. Party activists saw him as a conservative ally; swing voters, who, Zaller points out, aren't sophisticated at detecting a candidate's ideology, regarded him as a moderate. But sometimes activists don't have a candidate like that, and they're willing to risk defeat by backing someone far outside the mainstream. This strategy can have its own payoff: in 1964, Barry Goldwater lost in a historic landslide, but he changed American politics. \"Parties want to be optimally extreme,\" Zaller says. \"They are like the frequent air traveller who believes that if he never misses a flight he is getting to the airport too soon.\" This dynamic may help explain the ups and downs of the Republican primaries. Backing Mitt Romney is like showing up four hours early and sitting at Cinnabon; backing Rick Perry would have been like arriving at Newark International in the early evening for a flight that left LaGuardia at noon. And maybe, just maybe, backing Rick Santorum is like getting on the plane right before the doors close.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5023, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "395f52f6f181033bc2cc74ba9243226a709f5f64", "raw_chars": 3479, "clean_chars": 3191, "edit_ratio": 0.8753, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Former University of Virginia dean Nicole Eramo has spoken out for the first time regarding the discredited Rolling Stone article from November 2014 about a sexual assault on campus.

An investigation by The Washington Post revealed that aspects of Jackie's account were false. For instance, no one in the fraternity matched the name or description she provided for the alleged ringleader of her assault. According to Eramo's lawyers, the person Jackie described to friends as her assailant was a complete fiction. The Post found that a photo Jackie shared of her alleged attacker was actually of someone she knew from high school who attended a different school out of state.\n\nEramo's lawyers presented evidence that Rolling Stone reporter Sabrina Erdely had a predetermined notion of the story she intended to write. They highlighted that Erdely discussed the concept of the article, which became \"A Rape on Campus,\" well before her reporting began, including a note describing how college administrations can be \"indifferent\" to rape survivors. Eramo's legal team argued that Erdely had a \"preconceived story line\" and acted with \"reckless disregard\" by ignoring conflicting information. \"Once they decided what the story was going to be about, it didn't matter what the facts were,\" Clare stated.\n\nDespite the flawed reporting, Clare noted that Eramo had genuinely cared for Jackie in the aftermath of the alleged assault, counseling her and organizing a meeting with police detectives to help bring the attackers to justice. However, Jackie refused to participate in any police investigation.\n\nDuring his closing statement, Scott Sexton, a lawyer for Rolling Stone, told the jurors that the magazine \"acknowledges huge errors in not being more dogged... It's the worst thing to ever happen to Rolling Stone.\" Sexton added that the article's retraction cost Erdely her job and her reputation as a journalist. \"She hasn't written a classified since then,\" Sexton said.

Arguably, such kludges should emit warnings, if only to encourage the developers to find a better solution post-haste.\n\nHowever, as Mislav notes, it is occasionally desirable to redefine a method in certain metaprogramming scenarios. He gives the following example of the lengths you have to go to for a warning-free method redefinition that works in both 1.9 and 1.8:\n\nundef :name if instance_methods.map {|m| m.to_sym }.include? :name\ndef name\n# ...\nend\n\nBut there is a less ugly form that is equally portable and warning-free:\n\nclass Person\nattr_accessor :name\nundef :name if method_defined?(:name)\ndef name\n@name.to_s.capitalize\nend\nend\n\np = Person.new\np.name = \"avdi\"\np.name # => \"Avdi\"\n\nAs I said, however, this is rarely needed.

We have an expression of sentiment and we have a policy the VLCT has articulated that says, ‘We’re opposed unless the public safety issues can be addressed.’ Obviously, that should be the selectboard’s concern, too: Public safety.\n\n“My sense would be that what the VLCT is proposing is prudent,” he added.\n\nSeeley said she believed a board vote in favor of the VLCT position would not be a vote against legalization at a later date.\n\n“If we support the VLCT, we’re not necessarily going against what the survey is saying,” she said. “We want to have everything in place.”\n\nBut Selectwoman Laura Asermily noted some legalization advocates argue that police are already screening for drugged drivers.\n\n“What I have also heard is that … we’re paying for the policing of it now; it is already costing us something,” Asermily said. “They already have to know whether you’re under the influence or not, so this idea there’s going to be additional cost — is it? And how much more? We are already having to train our (police) about this substance.”\n\nReporter John Flowers is at [email protected]", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5033, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e84430d48c75ef12a1465b0c31ff00bf0e2fc73a", "raw_chars": 3474, "clean_chars": 3507, "edit_ratio": 0.5932, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "HEATHER SEELEY\n\nMIDDLEBURY — A clear majority of Middlebury residents support legalizing marijuana in Vermont and believe the town should receive tax benefits from its sale and have a say in where it could be sold locally.\n\nThat is the general takeaway from the results of Middlebury's recent online survey on the marijuana legalization issue.\n\nThe informal poll drew responses from 773 people, making it the most successful web-based opinion survey that Middlebury has ever engineered. The selectboard launched the survey on August 14 to get guidance on whether it should support the Vermont League of Cities and Towns' position on marijuana legalization during the upcoming 2018 legislative session.\n\nThe Vermont League of Cities and Towns' current position, as stated in its Draft Municipal Policy and Municipal Guiding Principles, is that marijuana should not be legalized for recreational purposes until all public safety concerns are adequately addressed.\n\nMiddlebury selectboard members will not take an official position on the league's marijuana stance until their next meeting on September 26. However, a majority of the board appeared to be in the league's camp when it comes to the cannabis question during a recent meeting.\n\n\"Are all the pieces in place to make marijuana legalization happen the way it should?\" Selectwoman Heather Seeley asked. \"I'm not convinced.\"\n\nBut many of those who took the town survey seem to think their state is ready to legalize recreational marijuana, a move the state Legislature and Governor Phil Scott have considered but have not yet approved. The Legislature is likely to debate the question again this winter.\n\nMiddlebury's marijuana survey was available online and in hard copy at the town offices from August 14 to September 8. Almost 78 percent of the respondents, or 599 people, were Middlebury residents, with another 138 residing in other Vermont communities. The remaining 32 respondents were from outside the state.\n\nSlightly more than half of those who answered the survey, 51.43 percent, identified themselves as women. The poll drew responses from people aged 18 to at least 75, with the 25-to-44-year-old demographic garnering the most responses at 281.\n\nSome respondents submitted comments. One noted, \"As we've seen from the national trend, the legalization of marijuana is quickly becoming accepted, both as a recreational and medical drug. The residents of Middlebury deserve to have access to this long-demonized and now welcome tool for alleviating all sorts of pains.\"\n\nAnother respondent expressed concerns: \"I have concerns about minors finding and eating edibles, siting businesses in the more residential areas of town, and traffic safety issues. I do believe that responsible use and taxation of marijuana would be fine.\"\n\nA third comment stated, \"I'm inclined towards legalization only if it is done in a careful, thoughtful, incremental, inclusive way. Law enforcement, the medical community, educators, and our legislators need to be at the table together to consider the ramifications of any proposals, and I think incremental steps towards legalization gives all of these stakeholders time to evolve appropriately.\"\n\nFinally, one mother wrote, \"As a mother of a young child, I fear for her safety if it is legalized. There are no concrete ways to test for intoxication levels and I don't want a bunch of people who are high driving on the roads. We are a small town with multiple schools on the main road.

Is this some kind of insane psychic plot by the Walking Mind?\n\nNo, dear reader, no! These are merely the depths of numerical madness one is driven to by the dread specter of shipping costs! (Cue musical stinger.)\n\nNOTE: A much more detailed breakdown of all our numbers can be found in Update #2 and Update #3. Check 'em out!\n\nAll of our tiers are based on the idea that the game will have a suggested retail price of $20, with projected costs of shipping added. It's entirely likely that we'll still be picking up a few extra bucks per shipment here and there. If you care to add more copies of the game, your cost of shipping won't increase beyond what's already factored into the base.\n\nShipping costs aren't just about the cost of postage, though that's a big part of it. We also need to pay pick-and-pack handling fees, as packing costs labor and picking each item to go into a box has a surcharge too, to our shippers, as well as supply costs like boxes, tape, and labeling. And since this isn't a book, we can't use Media Mail. It adds up!\n\nPlus, you'll get all of the digital assets from the DIGITAL DESTROYER tier to help take some of the bite out of that cost. :) We also won't increase the shipping charge to you if you end up with more items in your box.\n\nYou fiend! That still doesn't do enough to explain the International tier's pricing!\n\nWell, it does, but to get to why, we must dig deeper.\n\nIn the case of international shipping, the costs are even worse, which is why our international options are basically: go low for digital, or go high to buy in bulk. The math for that tier is built around the idea that the ratio of the pledge that goes towards shipping (about 20%) should be similar to the ratio as it exists for the domestic scenario. And since most international shipping scenarios start in the mid-$20 cost range, and quickly jump to $40 and above once you hit a particular weight limit, we've arrived at the $150—$120 for 6 games, $30 (20%) for shipping.\n\nPreserving the ratio is important because Kickstarter has no means for separating dollars pledged for shipping from dollars pledged that will actually fund the project. If we allowed for a reward tier that shipped a single copy internationally, with over half of that reward tier's money going towards shipping (thank you, US postal service), and it took off, we could end up hitting our funding goal while still actually coming in thousands of dollars under target.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5060, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "d7fd7034bac1e3810e173604d00b2024d778176d", "raw_chars": 632, "clean_chars": 651, "edit_ratio": 0.8441, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Slowly but surely, I have been strengthening the CSA's armed forces in preparation for the impending clash.

Like his countryman Joseph Conrad, to whom he is often compared and to whom he bears almost no resemblance, Kapuscinski has become embedded in the continent’s literary firmament. Upon Kapuscinski’s death, however, the young Kenyan writer Binyavanga Wainaina attacked “the racist writer Kapuscinski” as being the author of some of his “all-time classic lines about Africa,” such as “In Africa, the notion of abstract evil — evil in and of itself — does not exist.” It is hard to blame those angered by some of Kapuscinski’s more careless statements about Africa. His risky generalizations may suggest a seeming lack of recognition of Africa’s varied and heterodox cultures, but that seems a minor sin in light of how deeply he attempted to understand it and how much of his life he spent there. Kapuscinski knew, of course, how complicated his subjects were. “The European in Africa,” he wrote in “The Shadow of the Sun,” “sees only part of it” and can only fall short when attempting to describe “the immense realm” of African psychology. His subject matter was local but his tone was cosmic, dislocated and sometimes surreal. His miner’s light lingered deep in recesses of totalitarianism, mysticism and revolution — places where truth begins to lose access to the photosynthesis of fact. A coloration not often noted by those in opposition to Kapuscinski is that his is the Africa of a man from a subject country who discovered it just as its nations were snapping the leashes of their colonial masters. In the end, great nonfiction writing does not necessarily require any accuracy greater than that of an honest and vividly rendered confusion. The limits of human perception cruelly bind us all.\n\nKapuscinski’s final book, “Travels With Herodotus,” is about the Father of History, a man so bound by his fifth-century-B.C. perception and experience as to appear by modern standards almost intellectually comatose. “He had never heard of China,” Kapuscinski writes, “or Japan, he did not know of Australia or Oceania, had no inkling of the existence, much less the great flowering, of the Americas. If truth be told, he knew little of note about western and northern Europe.” He also believed that Ethiopian men ejaculated black semen. Yet, to Kapuscinski, Herodotus was “the first globalist” and “the first to argue that each culture requires acceptance and understanding.” How much Herodotus actually traveled we cannot know, and a good deal of “Travels With Herodotus” is occupied with Kapuscinski’s ceaseless wonderings about his early life (“Did he build sand castles at the edge of the sea?”), family history (“Might Herodotus’s father have been a merchant himself?”) and personality (“Perhaps he had a naturally inquiring mind?”). The book’s true nature, however, is that of an unabashed memoir, the author’s first, and it opens with Ryszard, age 19, studying Greek history at Warsaw University. Although a Polish translation of Herodotus was not available until 1955, shortly after Stalin’s death, Kapuscinski became a lifelong pupil of Herodotus’s time, “a world of sun and silver, warm and full of light, populated by slender heroes and dancing nymphs.” It was also a world that seemed determined to destroy itself through internecine warfare.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5059, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "976311ee9a45583d8d6f0e478550c9b02a3ef7a0", "raw_chars": 3408, "clean_chars": 3480, "edit_ratio": 0.1606, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"I am amazed by the lack of understanding about this project by the general public and even more amazed that people in other parts of the country are so focused on the 'northern segment' while the pipeline is actually being laid right here in Texas and will begin transporting diluted bitumen, tar sands crude oil, to Gulf Coast refineries by the end of the year,\" Bishop wrote in Part III. \"So many seem oblivious to this fact.\"\n\nBishop alleges in his Complaint for Declaratory Relief and Petition for Writ of Mandamus that on-the-books environmental laws were broken when fast-tracked permitting for the southern half of the Keystone XL pipeline unfolded.\n\nThe permitting mechanism utilized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, following President Obama's March 2012 executive order and memorandum, was a Nationwide Permit 12.\n\nNationwide Permit 12 was also chosen for the fast-tracked permitting of Enbridge's Flanagan South Pipeline.

In April, for example, the air traffic controllers’ union contributed $1 million to a super PAC supporting President Obama. However, other contributions are harder to trace. Last year, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees gave $100,000 to Advancing Wisconsin, a tax-exempt group that supported labor’s fight with Republicans in that state.

Martin Junge, general secretary of the worldwide Lutheran World Federation. These events included a prayer service in Lund Cathedral and a justice-and-peace celebration with young people in the Malmö arena.\n\nHowever, after local Catholics objected, Francis agreed to stay overnight and celebrate Mass with them on Tuesday morning at another stadium in Malmö, which holds 26,000 people. The event is now close to being sold out.\n\nThis decision has caused dismay in the Swedish Lutheran Church, which has been keen to downplay the Mass.\n\n“It’s easy to perceive this as a papal visit when it’s not,” said Antje Jackelen, the Lutheran archbishop of Uppsala and Sweden’s first woman archbishop. “It’s about the meeting of Lutherans and Catholics.”\n\nReflecting the broader Swedish zeitgeist, the Lutheran Church is almost obsessively egalitarian. It has gay and women bishops—some of whom are both—and it marries same-sex couples while upholding abortion as a human right.\n\n“Sweden is a very special country, and in many ways extreme in its egalitarianism,” said Bitte Assarmo, who edits the country’s main Catholic monthly magazine and website, Katolskt Magasin. “Because the Lutheran Church in Sweden is so anti-hierarchical, they are not all that happy about the pope staying an extra day.”\n\nAssarmo noted that equality has become a kind of “civil religion” in Sweden, creating a climate that can make it difficult to be Catholic.\n\n“Catholic values don’t match the Swedish idea of equality,” she said.\n\nOne example is that Swedish Lutherans find it very hard to accept the Catholic Church’s rules on Communion, which partly lies behind the critique of Francis’s Mass on Tuesday.\n\nAny ill-feeling is unlikely to affect Monday’s Reformation commemoration, because it is being hosted by the global Lutheran World Federation rather than the Swedish Lutherans. However, the ecumenical tensions on the ground offer a glimpse of some of the obstacles to deeper Catholic-Lutheran unity in practice.\n\nBy most measures, Sweden, along with neighboring Denmark, is one of the world’s most secularized countries. Eight out of ten Swedes said in a Gallup survey last year that they were either irreligious or convinced atheists.

Most healthy individuals have adequate nutrients in their diet; however some people do not have access to good nutrition, others have medical illnesses that predispose them to nutritional deficiency which influence scalp / body hair.\n\nNutrition is a complex subject – the effects of correct nutrition are indirect and often slow to appear. Hair in particular is slow to respond to any stimulus. Trials have indicated that correct nutrition is instrumental in healthy hair growth, and conversely many deficiencies correlate with hair loss.\n\nHair nutrition is therefore a vital part of any treatment regime. A truly systematic and rigorous approach must be taken when formulating a nutritional supplement for hair due the many factors that affect the eventual efficacy of the treatment.\n\nMalnutrition, congenital heart disease, neuromuscular disease, chronic illnesses, malignancy, alcoholism, and advanced age can cause hair to change colour, be weakened, or lost.\n\nGenetics and health are factors in hair wellbeing. Proper nutrition is important. The living part of hair is under the scalp skin where its root is housed within its follicle. It derives its nutrients from blood. Health concerns e.g. stress, trauma, medications, medical conditions, heavy metals, smoking etc. can affect the hair.\n\nHair is the fastest growing natural tissue in the human body: the average rate of growth is 0.5cm – 1.7cm per month depending on ethnicity. Optimal growth occurs from age 15 – 30 and reduces from age 40 – 50. although men find beard hair grows faster beyond the age of 50 years. Hair products (shampoos or vitamin supplements) have not been shown to noticeably change this rate. The cycles of growth of each follicle consist of creation followed by self destruction. During each new cycle the follicle is partially recreated.\n\nThe speed of hair growth is based upon genetics, gender, age, hormones. It may be reduced by nutrient deficiency (i.e., anorexia, anemia, zinc deficiency) and hormonal fluctuations (i.e., menopause, polycystic ovaries, thyroid disease).\n\nIt is important to mention that many of the metabolic requirements of follicle cells (minerals and vitamins) must be satisfied for optimal hair growth (not always derived from fast foods and punishing work schedules).\n\nNutritionists confirm that people with certain nutritional deficiencies tend to have dry, stringy and dull hair, and sometimes experience hair loss. Fortunately the latter can be restored once the deficiency is addressed.\n\nCrash diets cause temporary hair loss due to incumbent nutritional factors e.g. anorexia, bulimia and other medical conditions.\n\nDiets should contain protein, fruits, vegetables, grains, and an appropriate amount of fat. Deficiency will typically show in the hair. A mild case of anemia can cause shedding of hair. B group vitamins are significantly important for healthy hair, especially biotin.\n\nWhen the body is under threat it reprioritizes its processes – the vital organs will be attended first – hair follicles may not be considered a priority.

Walnuts contain zinc and alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that may help improve hair condition. Pecans, cashews, and almonds also contain zinc, and zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding.\n\nPoultry provides high-quality protein and iron with a high degree of bioavailability. Weak, brittle hair may derive from protein deficiency.\n\nEggs are sources of protein, biotin, and vitamin B-12, which are important beauty nutrients.\n\nFortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, containing zinc, iron, and B vitamins, are important for hair health.\n\nOysters provide zinc, a powerful antioxidant. Other sources of zinc include whole grains, nuts, beef, and lamb.\n\nLow-fat dairy products are rich in calcium, whey, and casein, which are important minerals for hair growth sourced from skimmed milk and yogurt.\n\nCarrots are an excellent source of vitamin A.\n\nFor healthy hair and beauty, food variety may be the best option. A balanced diet of lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fatty fish like salmon, along with low-fat dairy products, can be potential aids to hair health. Crash diets with rapid weight loss can affect the normal hair cycle, causing increased shedding within 6 to 12 weeks. This temporary problem should recover with dietary improvements.\n\nPeople experiencing hair loss should take appropriate advice from a physician, registered trichologist, or registered dietician to determine the cause and any appropriate treatment. Whereas nutritional solutions may not currently cure hair loss, they may slowly assist its condition.\n\nNutrition can have a big impact on the health of hair. Good nutrition can show in hair growth and hair fiber being thick, strong, and shiny in appearance, while poor or deficient nutrition typically correlates with hair loss symptoms, hair thinning, and dull, dry, or brittle hair. Nutrients for hair are received from the blood supply, which brings both nutrients and oxygen to the dermal papilla. These are projections based at the bottom of the hair bulb, which supplies blood to the epidermis through a network of sensory nerve endings to which it is connected.

Despite its importance, most Americans fail to meet the recommended daily intake for calcium. Patients should be advised to take magnesium alongside supplemental calcium to maintain healthy calcium levels in the body. Without extra magnesium to balance it, large doses of calcium may be harmful. The recommended dosage is 100-200 mg of calcium per day.\n\nZinc is essential for DNA and RNA production, which in turn leads to normal follicle-cell division. It is also responsible for helping to stabilize cell-membrane structures and assists in the breakdown and removal of superoxide radicals. Zinc intake is generally low, and deficiencies, along with any associated hair health issues, may be linked to low-calorie diets, especially among young women. Good sources of zinc include meat, eggs, and seafood. Topical applications of zinc have been shown to reduce the hair loss activity of 5-alpha-reductase type II. The recommended dosage is 15 mg of zinc, preferably in the form of zinc amino acid chelate, per day.\n\nIron deficiency causes microcytic and hypochromic anemia. Moreover, most other organs, including the skin and pilo-sebaceous follicles, are affected.\n\nSuboptimal thyroid functioning can lead to abnormal hair growth. Because iodine supports proper thyroid functioning, 112-225 mcg of iodine, preferably in the form of kelp, per day is the recommended dosage.\n\nL-Methionine, one of four sulfur-containing amino acids, supports hair strength by providing adequate amounts of sulfur to hair cells. Sulfur is required for healthy connective tissue formation, and hair requires it for normal growth and appearance.\n\nL-Cysteine supports hair strength by the provision of sulfur. Skin, nails, and hair are high in L-cysteine, and there is evidence that deficiency may be a factor in hair loss. Supplementing the diet accordingly may be helpful.\n\nL-Lysine is an interesting case. It is worth noting that male pattern baldness is less common in Asians than in Americans. Is this in part due to the Asian diet being rich in L-lysine, an enzyme-inhibiting amino acid found in vegetables and herbs that may affect 5-alpha-reductase in some way?\n\nPolyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play an important role in cell structure, barrier function, lipid synthesis, inflammation, and immunity. PUFAs help reduce dry, scaly skin, and the most popular sources include walnuts, fish oil, and flaxseed oil. People on low-fat and non-fat diets are at risk for nutrition-related hair loss because hair needs essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acid deficiency causes a drying-up of the scalp and skin. These are vital nutrients that support follicular health. When the follicle is not healthy, hair loss or thinning occurs.\n\nRegarding the effects of aging, there is no solution. Even with outstanding nutrition, the genetic blueprint is eventually going to take control, and hair may change in color, structure, and density. However, the control of biological aging may be influenced by superfoods, such as supergreen mixes, chlorella, spirulina, micro-algae extracts such as astaxanthin, broccoli sprouts, fresh vegetables, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, garlic, ginger, and other culinary and medicinal herbs.\n\nWater is important in general bodily health and potentially good hair health.

HMV Canada has filed for bankruptcy, hemorrhaging cash at a rate of $100,000 a day as customers increasingly turned to digital media for their music and video needs.\n\nAlthough the Canadian music industry has undergone significant changes, Peter Ferguson remains steadfast in his optimism about the future of his own business. Ferguson, who owns Revolver Inc., a company with two locations in Edmonton, specializes in hard-to-find and out-of-print DVDs, CDs, and vinyl records. \"This is the kind of model that's going to work going forward: the smaller, locally-owned record store instead of the huge chains,\" Ferguson told CBC Radio's Edmonton AM. \"It was probably too little, too late. You're seeing it with all the department stores as well. I don't think that business model works anymore.\"\n\nFerguson anticipates that smaller retailers like himself will experience a surge in business once the remaining HMV stores across Canada close their doors in three months. \"I would anticipate our business getting a spike, with no other place to buy new or used CDs or DVDs, so that would be positive,\" he said. \"But again, we need to see how the vacuum is going to be filled for new releases and that sort of stuff that we don't traditionally deal with.\"\n\nFerguson acknowledged that, much like HMV, CD sales constitute the bulk of his company's profits. However, he noted important differences in their respective business models. While large chains lost the majority of their customers to a surge in digital sales, Revolver Inc. has not. By offering hard-to-find items and a wide selection of vinyl, they have retained older customers rather than relying on younger generations to spend their disposable income. Although CD and DVD sales have plummeted, the appetite for vinyl releases continues to grow.\n\n\"Teenagers and people in their early 20s aren't spending their money on physical copies of DVDs and CDs, whereas people of the older generation still very much want physical copies,\" Ferguson explained. \"When I was a teenager, that's what you did when you went to the mall: you went to the record store. I don't get any teenagers in here anymore. I think that's one of the main reasons why HMV eventually went under.\"\n\nRecent data from Border City Media, a company that tracks music sales in Canada, indicates that vinyl sales grew by more than 50 percent from 2015 to 2016. Vinyl and streaming audio are now the only two growing segments of the music sales business.\n\nRich Liukko, owner of Freecloud Records, agrees that the appetite for vinyl shows no sign of waning. However, he is more apprehensive about what the end of HMV means for the future of Canada's music industry and consumer spending habits. \"Canada has just lost its mainstream retailer,\" he said. \"The analogy I've been using is, imagine if the major chain grocery stores all went under tomorrow. Where would you buy your food?\"\n\nOver the years, HMV focused its sales on new releases and best-sellers. Liukko stated that he has no intention of filling that void, noting that profit margins for CDs are too slim. He added that the loss of the major retailer has caused \"lots of confusion\" within the industry. Manufacturers, distributors, and record labels are apprehensive that with HMV gone, more Canadians will turn to the internet to purchase their music.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5108, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "734faef9d19808caf4ada242a3053d1fd11cadd3", "raw_chars": 3462, "clean_chars": 3532, "edit_ratio": 0.2288, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Gone are the days when international openings for graduates of Indian business schools and engineering colleges were restricted to the United States and the United Kingdom.

In other words, the danger warning only triggers when the threat comes from someone unknown to Spider-Man.\n\nThis concept was revealed dramatically in \"Amazing Spider-Man\" #114, created by Conway and John Romita Sr. In the issue, Spider-Man went to Doctor Octopus's home to rescue the seemingly kidnapped Aunt May, only to be knocked unconscious by her with a vase. (The scene in \"Peter Parker: Spider-Man\" #97 was an homage to this moment.) By the transitive property of logic, this implies that Aunt May is capable of defeating even powerful foes like Firelord.\n\nIn the issue following the vase attack, Peter discovered that May had not been kidnapped by Doctor Octopus; rather, she was working for him as a maid. She had sought employment after Gwen Stacy had reprimanded her for being too involved in Peter's life. Consequently, when Spider-Man arrived, May viewed him as an attacker trying to pick on her misunderstood employer. Octavius had taken May in out of the goodness of his heart, remembering fondly when she had taken him in as a boarder. It was not until she was already working for him that Octavius discovered May had inherited a nuclear facility.\n\nAfter a major fight between Peter and Doctor Octopus, May pulled a gun on Spider-Man and fired. Fortunately, police and firefighters arrived at the house at that precise moment. The sirens distracted her and threw off her aim; otherwise, May might have killed her own beloved nephew.\n\nFollowing the events of \"Brand New Day,\" where Peter had never married Mary Jane and was living with Aunt May again (who no longer knew his secret identity), May volunteered for a charity called F.E.A.S.T. (Food, Emergency Aid, Shelter, and Training). What May did not know was that her kindhearted boss, Martin Li, was secretly the crimelord Mister Negative.\n\nOne of Negative's powers allowed him to turn people \"negative\" by touching them, effectively making good people bad. When May accidentally walked in on Mister Negative killing a man in Li's office in \"Amazing Spider-Man\" #618 (by Dan Slott and Marcos Martin), Negative used his power on her. When she returned home with Peter and her new husband, Jay, she unleashed all the hidden frustrations she had about Peter but would never voice because of her kindness. She complained that Peter kept ruining his life and was a major disappointment to her. However, May was too inherently good to remain under Negative's influence for long.

According to a newly released opinion from a New Jersey court of appeals, a person who sends a text message can be held liable for an accident caused by texting, provided the sender was aware that the recipient was behind the wheel.\n\nThe court held that a sender of a text message can potentially be liable if an accident is caused by texting, but only if the sender knew or had special reason to know that the recipient would view the text while driving and thus be distracted.\n\nThis opinion arose from an earlier case involving texting while driving. In that incident, a teenager who was driving and texting crossed the center line of the road and severely injured a married couple on a motorcycle. The injured couple had already settled with the driver who hit them, but they also sought to hold the girl who sent the driver a message liable for negligence. They argued that she knew she was texting someone who was driving and thus knew she was engaging in distracting and unsafe behavior.\n\nHowever, in this specific case, the plaintiffs were unable to prove that the girl sending the text to her boyfriend actually knew he was driving, so she was not charged. Nevertheless, the court found the argument intriguing enough to consider the responsibility of the sender in text message accident cases going forward. The court affirmed the trial court's order dismissing the plaintiffs' complaint against the sender of the text messages, but it did not adopt the trial court's reasoning that a remote texter does not have a legal duty to avoid sending text messages to someone who is driving.\n\nWhile the defendant in this case managed to escape prosecution, future texters in New Jersey might not be so lucky. That said, the court's opinion appears worded to ensure this does not place an undue burden on innocent texters. A remote sender only has a \"limited duty\" to those sharing the road with drivers using their phones. \"One should not be held liable for sending a wireless transmission simply because some recipient might use his cell phone unlawfully and become distracted while driving,\" the court determined. Additionally, this ruling is not a formal law, but rather an indication that New Jersey will consider future prosecution of people who sent texts to someone who caused an accident. Regardless of the legal implications, it is definitely something to consider when firing off messages to friends. If you know they are behind the wheel, it might be smart to wait and send the message later.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5125, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c24c190a25640acf65d179b5a5ea23e355b01ad1", "raw_chars": 2486, "clean_chars": 2523, "edit_ratio": 0.0693, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The remarkable series of releases from the trio of Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, and Oren Ambarchi continues with \"I wonder if you noticed 'I'm sorry' Is such a lovely sound It keeps things from getting worse,\" which presents the entirety of an 80-minute set performed at Tokyo's SuperDeluxe in March 2014. While the trio's 2012 performance was divided into two releases (BT 011LP in 2014 and BT 012LP in 2015), the single extended performance presented here ranges widely over terrain both new and familiar, from acoustic strings and collective chants to thunderous power trio moves. Throughout all of its transformations, the music here is some of the riskiest and most abstract the trio have yet committed to record.\n\nBeginning with chiming percussion reminiscent of Haino's 1995 classic Tenshi No Gijinka, the first side is dominated by Haino's impassioned vocals and performance on the bulgari, a traditional Turkish string instrument. The end of the second side presents a special treat: Haino's first recorded outing on the contrabass harmonica, from which he coaxes bizarre, wheezing textures against a backdrop of spacious bass and percussion. O'Rourke and Ambarchi rarely adopt here the classic rock roles essayed on earlier releases. O'Rourke's bass, which takes center stage surprisingly often, is sometimes so heavily processed by his array of pedals that it becomes a shifting electronic mass; at other times his roving chromaticism suggests a sort of fuzzed-out free jazz. Ambarchi spends much of the set exploring areas of tumbling free pulse; and even when he locks into a constantly repeated figure on the set's third side, he gestures as much toward Ronald Shannon Jackson's stuttering marching band funk as toward any classic rock moves.\n\nWhen the trio finally moves in the final quarter of the performance into an extended passage of rock riffing, the payoff is immense, as they craft a thudding one-chord epic reminiscent of some of the early Fushitsusha classics before Haino returns to the bulgari, bringing the set back to where it began. Continuing to explore new instrumental and dynamic possibilities while remaining grounded in the trio's previous work, this set also brings with it a unique pleasure for the non-Japonophone listener: for the first time Haino sings many of his metaphysically brooding lyrics in English.

We tried to do a guitar heavy, up-tempo rock record at the beginning of the process. It didn’t feel right, so we abandoned the idea, and we have some cool songs left in the chest for the future.\n\nI just banged out a lot of these songs on the piano at my house, showed them to Hoopes, and then we proceeded with the record when there was enough of them. So yes, it was piano, and just chilling and finding free time to do stuff, which was weird because I didn’t have to finish at any time. I could take my time on certain songs.\n\nI really dragged my feet on a lot of it, but that was a fun thing for me to be able to exercise, being at home and writing the record whenever I wanted to. At the end of the whole thing, I had some people looking me in the eye and saying, “Matt, it’s time to finish your album already.” That went on for a couple months before it was done. So I apologize for taking too long, but it was fun to do.\n\nHoopes: I feel like this album should be released now. It does feel like the summertime. It does feel like this is the right time. It’s allowed us a minute to step back and make this thing that is Relient K that we started in high school, to grab it by the horns again.\n\nThiessen: By the udders.\n\nHoopes: Yeah, by the udders. To take a step back and make this want we want, you know? Tour the way we want to tour and make albums the way we want to make albums. I think that was a lot of fun.\n\nIt’s funny. I was describing this album to a friend earlier today. I keep saying it’s like piano-based rock music with surf guitars [laughs]. I don’t know exactly how to say that, but I definitely approached the guitar from a different perspective because I liked where the piano was at. I wanted to keep the piano and still focus on that, but approach guitars not from we need a wall of 17 guitar tracks as much as how can we make this song better, you know?\n\nIt does feel like a summer record because there are a lot of outdoorsy references, and a lot of animal references as well. Was there a theme you were going for with all those?\n\nThiessen: It became easier to do, I guess, as it went along. The idea of having a cat, I didn’t have a cat and I wanted to write about the cat, so it was good. That made into referring to a cat in a couple other songs, and even having a song called “Cat.” So really the cat showed up in the ukulele song “Sleepin’” and then he got to be on the rest of the record, because that song was early.\n\nI do like animals. I’ve been feeding birds a lot lately, figuring out which kinds they are and what they sing about. All that stuff. That’s fun. I’ve been writing a lot of solo songs that are all about the woods and nature and that sort of thing. It’s something that’s appealing to me in music.\n\nIs that how you arrived at the concept and title of Air for Free?\n\nThiessen: Actually, that was a bit of a weird thing. You know that Goo Goo Dolls song where he’s like, “Do you wanna get married?” Do you remember that one? What song is that one?\n\nHoopes: “Slide.”\n\nThiessen: “Slide.” So I had this song and I was singing along. I was like [singing], “Marry me.” It was so cheesy, and then I thought of that Goo Goo Dolls song. I thought I would try and rhyme the words and come up with something different.

Rona Munro, who scripted the final classic Doctor Who story \"Survival,\" brings a tonal similarity to this episode, though thankfully without a really rubbish motorbike crash.\n\nThis preview assumes you have seen the trailers for the episode. We reckon this could be a divisive episode. We actually really liked it, but there is one bit of fairy tale silliness that may be a little too much for some fans to handle. The episode is very atmospheric, with a suitably mythical feel. It is a little talky in places, but great one-liners for the Doctor, Bill, and Nardole, along with some moody visuals, keep the pace moving. There is a uniformly young guest cast, which serves a specific purpose. Bill delivers a very pragmatic, effective, and short motivational speech. The Doctor is full of creative insults; rarely has he been closer to a PG version of Malcolm Tucker. There is a lollipop and a TV aerial involved, possibly. The monsters are great, though we would have liked to learn a little more about their methods of operation.\n\nThe teaser is very similar to last week's. Bill does something early in the episode that she also did early in the previous episode. The Doctor doesn't want to take sides, like in last week's episode. There is a lot of wandering around caves, similar to last week's episode, which might suggest these two should have been shown further apart in the season. The Doctor is only second at something. The destination is Bill's choice. Bill learns about, and of course takes the mick out of, yet another of the show's longstanding gimmicks. That same gimmick then becomes the catalyst for a rather poignant moment. \"Oh my god, it even does lip-synch.\" The Roman soldiers are more modern than Bill in one surprisingly aspect.

The classic and controversial \"Dark Phoenix Saga,\" written by famed X-Men writer Chris Claremont and published by Marvel in 1980, continues to impact not only X-Men movies and comics but most Marvel comics hitting the stands.\n\nA History of the \"Dark Phoenix Saga\"\n\nThe original five X-Men consisted of Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, and Jean Grey. Similar to the Invisible Girl in Fantastic Four at the time, Jean's relatively weak power set rendered her inconsequential to the team. The X-Men, including Jean Grey herself, considered this an indisputable truth.\n\nJean played the role of nothing more than a token female in early X-Men comics, but at least she appeared in them at all. The 1950s and 1960s weren't so long ago. Clearly, women were repressed in a man's society. The first X-Men comics were released less than thirty-five years after women became eligible to vote. A woman's place included marriage by thirty or facing social abandonment, total devotion to her husband above her own needs and wants, and financial servitude. I remember seeing what my mother wrote in her 1959 yearbook when someone asked her what she wanted to do with her life. I asked her why she wrote \"secretary.\" She responded, \"What else could I have been back then?\"\n\nMy mother's response heartbreakingly spoke to the challenges women faced and continue to face in our society. To put things more in perspective, the American Equal Pay Act passed by Congress in 1963 stated women should be paid equal to men. X-Men comics premiered in the same year the Act passed.\n\nIn the 1960s, X-Men comics failed to deliver good numbers. For a while, Marvel sold only reprints of older issues. Then, Len Wein and others created a new international team of X-Men consisting of Storm, Wolverine, Thunderbird, Sunfire, Nightcrawler, and Colossus. The new team of X-Men replaced the original characters, except for Cyclops who remained. However, Jean Grey soon returned to the X-Men.\n\nThe \"Dark Phoenix Saga\": A Sign of Changing Times\n\nThe Normal Rockwell culture of the American 1950s gave rise to feminism. As second-wave feminism spread throughout the western world, women characters like Jean Grey seemed to purport stereotypes rife in popular culture that were damaging to women. New X-Men writer Chris Claremont developed a response to second-wave feminist criticisms of the portrayals of women in pop culture. Thus, Jean Grey became the Phoenix.\n\nPowered Up: Journey from Phoenix to Dark Phoenix\n\nThis new international team of X-Men exploded onto the scene and revived the failing series, paving the way for Jean's evolution. When asked if his plan all along was for the mantle of Phoenix to go to Jean Grey, in an interview on the ComicsVerse Podcast, Chris Claremont responded: \"It was always the redhead.\" In the same podcast interview, he further describes Jean as \"fiery.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5168, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "3d7adab85fb3de4d22ac7f2ae83f1cd4d20df0b5", "raw_chars": 1814, "clean_chars": 1821, "edit_ratio": 0.0019, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Astronauts To Vote From Space\n\nIn this day and age, people engage in their right to vote from all over the world.

He argued that there were \"serious questions\" about Roberts' eligibility and that it should not have taken pressure from the Greens to get One Nation to act honorably. \"This is somebody who has made commentary publicly about his status as a dual citizen that bears no relationship with the facts,\" Di Natale said. \"His story has changed more times than I've changed underpants.

An estimated 25% of the population suffers from anxiety. Furthermore, issues surrounding mental health are often stigmatized, even in the most developed nations where studies are easily accessible to the public. In my experience, some of the most progressive and liberal people I’ve met scoff at the idea of receiving treatment for mental health issues. Even the words “mental health” connote something shameful in most people’s minds. Due to the inability of various cultures to treat mental health with the same seriousness and urgency as physical health, those who suffer from psychological afflictions may feel shame, embarrassment, confusion, or guilt.\n\nHumanity’s rejection of mental wellness causes dissonance in those who endure its pitfalls. Most mental health issues go undiagnosed and untreated. People are left to fend for themselves. Due to forced use of their own coping mechanisms, Jean Grey struggling to break free from her Dark Phoenix persona mirrors peoples’ own battles with mental health.\n\nSome people inaccurately categorize those suffering from addiction as weak. They believe the addicted individual needs more willpower. People afflicted know overcoming addiction has little to do with willpower. Moreover, they understand how society looks down on them for their disease.\n\nJean Grey’s War with her Inner Self Mirrors Our Own\n\nIn “Dark Phoenix Saga,” Jean expresses her difficulty living with a hunger for “a joy, a rapture beyond all comprehension.” These might not be the exact same words someone suffering from addiction might use, however, the metaphor applies nonetheless.\n\nAnyone who feels rageful, overly angry, suffers from addiction, or obsessive-compulsive disorder easily identifies with Jean breaking through her Dark Phoenix persona. While feeling consumed by one’s affliction, moments of alternative thoughts creep into the mind. As someone who deals with some of the same issues I’m discussing, I wish I had more moments where my essential self broke through the moments my addictions consumed me. Those opportunities afford a check-in with one’s behavior. Sometimes, when you catch yourself acting out of anxiety, fear, or anger, you can interrupt the pattern and calm yourself.\n\nJean Grey’s Inner War with the Dark Phoenix Makes Her the Everywoman\n\nAll of this isn’t only true for those suffering from a mental health problem. Anyone can relate to not having the skills to stop thinking harmful thoughts or feeling self-sabotaging negativity. “The Dark Phoenix Saga” serves as a beacon to all those who relate. Kitty Pryde is often considered the everywoman. However in “Dark Phoenix Saga,” Jean’s battle with her darker instincts primally tell the story of almost every person alive or dead. It might be one of the reasons the X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX SAGA trade will forever remain a classic in the same way as Medea and A Doll’s House. “Dark Phoenix Saga” strikes a primal chord deep within the souls of its readers.\n\nThe war waged in our minds will never cease. We’ll always look to characters and works of art to provide the sanctuary of knowing we do not stand alone in the battle against ourselves. Jean Grey overcoming her darkness and using her will to selflessly save the universe at the cost of her own life sets a beautiful example for the rest of us to follow.

Johnson and I embarked on a gastronomical journey through Disneyland Resort that was both gut-wrenching and palate-pleasing. It was a plum assignment. We bought annual passes before the prices went up and spent most workdays doing what we love to do: eat and evaluate.\n\nTo review 70 restaurants in six weeks, we decided to divide and conquer. Brad tackled 20 table-service restaurants. I, the Fast Food Maven, drew the short stick, tasked with dining at every quick-service restaurant, from buffets to food carts and walk-up counters. Brad got Carthay Circle while I got Clarabelle’s in Toontown. It couldn’t be that bad, could it? My Disney bucket list did include legendary foods like the corn dog, the swirly pineapple soft serve, and lots of Mickey Mouse-shaped creations.\n\nMy strategy going in was to never eat the whole thing and just graze, which doesn’t take much willpower when the food is mediocre. And that was the case most of the time. I never threw up, but I did spit out a couple foods that were too gross to swallow. During the homestretch, I hit a wall. With Disney California Adventure closing earlier than I had expected, I went on a half-hour binge one night. I sampled beer-battered onion rings, a chicken sandwich, a salad, a burrito, and a tamale. On my way home, with the smell of combo plate leftovers wafting through my car, I grew nauseated. My stomach cramped. I was in a full-blown digestive distress, my body’s punishing reaction to the final leg of my Disneyland diet. I made it home on autopilot. My husband sensed my green aura as I stumbled through the door.\n\n“How’s it going?” he asked.\n\n“Not good,” I told him.\n\nI curled up in bed, chewing a mouthful of Tums. I still had six more restaurants to hit to meet the deadline. “Can I go on?” I thought to myself. Rest and antacids revived me, and I finished a few days later.\n\nMy six-week Disneyland diet included 198 meals over 105 visits to 50 restaurants. Did I gain weight? Surprisingly, no. Did I find things I loved? Absolutely. Was it a magical experience? Not by a long shot. But, ultimately, it was a food journey I will never forget.\n\nHere’s a roundup of what we learned.\n\nBrad’s takeaways\n\nAnyone can rent a scooter if they’re too lazy to walk around the parks all day. Lunch is consistently better than dinner at restaurants that serve both. Thousands of parkgoers are turned away every day when they realize that they needed to make reservations several days in advance for one of the table-service restaurants. The Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans is exponentially better than the supposedly same sandwich at Blue Bayou. The best Margaritas are at Tortilla Jo’s and Cove Bar; avoid the horrible Margaritas at the walk-up stand at Pacific Wharf. Wednesday is the best day for getting into a table-service restaurant without a reservation. Restaurants in Downtown Disney are frequently booked out for private events by conventioneers, but typically on weekdays only. Carnation Cafe is the only place in Disneyland where you can get malts, and they’re much better than the malts at Ghirardelli or shakes at Flo’s Cafe in California Adventure.

It is best to perform a pre-departure cleanup of all baggage to remove such items.\n\nWhether or not a traveler has a license to visit Cuba, it is illegal to bring Cuban cigars or spirits into the U.S. Cigars without labels may be presumed to be Cuban and could be confiscated. Violating this law is likely to compound the problems for unlicensed travelers, making them easier targets for prosecution. Furthermore, if you do not have a license, bringing back anything that can be identified as Cuban will cause problems, especially if U.S. authorities decide to search your luggage.\n\nU.S. citizens caught traveling to Cuba without a license will not be denied re-entry, but they may be subject to civil penalties of several thousand dollars and/or criminal prosecution. Making false statements to U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents can be added to the charges if you falsely report your travels, such as by omitting Cuba, at the port of entry. This situation leads some travelers to give an honest declaration while attempting to justify their visit under a general license if they come under scrutiny. Others simply omit Cuba from their declaration and take their chances. Invoking your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent may also be helpful when filling out forms or answering questions whose answers might incriminate you. A common piece of advice is to smile and decline to chat, perhaps claiming that all the traveling has made you tired. Giving conflicting stories at this point could be construed as making false statements under 18 U.S.C. 1001.

In the RBA's case, it is a CPI of between 2 and 3 per cent. That is considered to be a \"goldilocks\" range for inflation, which keeps the economy humming along nicely.\n\nThis week, the official quarterly inflation figures were subdued, but probably not enough to prompt the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates on Melbourne Cup Day. Interestingly, though, a big contributor to the increase in prices was a near 20 per cent increase in fruit prices caused by bad weather. That most likely won't be repeated.\n\nYou can't argue with the numbers, though, so based on this latest data, you would likely conclude that the Reserve Bank will stay on the sidelines at its November meeting. Naturally, this has given the Aussie dollar a nice little tailwind recently.\n\nThe Australian dollar is a commodities currency. That means the dollar generally appreciates when commodities prices, such as oil, iron ore, and coal, rise in value. Australia is a resource-rich country, so naturally, as commodities prices rise and fall, so does Australia's overall worth, and the currency responds to that. Recently, we have seen strong rises in oil, iron ore, and particularly coal.\n\nOil rose off the back of the possibility of OPEC cutting production back, and the pick-up in the price of iron ore and coking coal is likely related to the ramp-up in steel production from China. China is meant to be cutting back on steel production as part of its reform agenda to transition to a more consumer-based economy, but that is not happening, obviously. The world's second largest economy is also risking a rather large commodities crunch in the medium term, given that China has a debt to GDP ratio of around 250 per cent.\n\nOf course, overseas politics plays a part in the value of the dollar too. To name just a few risk events: Brexit, the US election, developments in the South China Sea, and the central bank policy decisions of the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan all influence the dollar.\n\nWhat is \"risk appetite\"? Put simply, it is how hungry investors are to take a gamble on something. If the economy and the markets are buoyant, people tend to jump into the market to make a quick buck. The aftermath of any financial crisis is at the opposite end of the spectrum. Generally speaking, the \"happier\" investors are around the world, the more likely it is that the Australian dollar will rise in value, and the opposite is true.\n\nSo wrapping it all up, right now, investors are \"happy.\" The Australian economy is humming along, the US Federal Reserve hasn't yet raised interest rates again, China has an annual growth rate above 6.5 per cent, commodities prices are rallying, and geopolitically, we are not on tenterhooks. That might help to explain why the Australian dollar has found itself in quite a solid technical range between 74.5 and 77.5 US cents.\n\nThat is a relatively high exchange rate given the headwinds facing the Australian economy, but the economy is in fact holding up.

You surf over to NBC and notice that a new show is playing. It looks like it is about a group of six attractive people just sitting around at a coffeehouse. Weird premise.

It is funny. The jokes land, and the pacing is crisp. But somehow, things seem off. Especially that too-clever title. Wouldn't Crane and Kauffman have been better off with something simpler? Something like, say, Friends?\n\nThankfully, we do not live in that alternate universe.

The full article is not online yet, but we have gone through and picked out eight of the best tidbits. Cue up The Rembrandts, pat your Smelly Cat, and get ready. It is time to go back to Central Perk.\n\nIt is no secret that before Kauffman and Crane settled on Friends, they called their pals-hanging-out pilot Six of One, as in half a dozen of the other. But before that, the duo had a third possible title for their pitch: Insomnia Cafe. Sounds more like a horror series than a sitcom.\n\nThe article includes a list of actors Kauffman and Crane considered for their pilot. They also thought about casting Téa Leoni as Rachel and eventual Rent star Anthony Rapp as Ross. Bradley Whitford, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Bullock, and Molly Ringwald appear on the list of possible principals as well, though their potential parts are not noted. Neil Patrick Harris could only have been Chandler, though, right?\n\nAt first, Matthew Perry was not available for Friends because he was shooting a pilot set in the year 2194. It was called LAX 2194, and it was about the baggage handlers of the future. Whose Line Is It Anyway? comedian Ryan Stiles was in it too. The show did not get picked up.\n\nThe future Phoebe was cast in the Cheers spinoff, but got fired during rehearsals for its pilot. The director of that pilot, who is also one of the guys who fired Kudrow, also directed 15 episodes of Friends, including its first.\n\nNBC's West Coast president thought Monica was a trollop. He was so opposed to her sleeping with Paul the Wine Guy that he insisted on handing out the following questionnaire to the show's studio audience: Do you think Monica sleeping with the wine guy makes her a slut, a whore, or a trollop?

There is only one way to fight them: by fighting. There is no other path.\n\nBalazs Barabas: Including with ground forces?\n\nBenjamin Netanyahu: With all the forces necessary to weaken and destroy them. It is not impossible. Israel has faced a force much stronger than ISIS, with a much larger army and missiles, unfortunately deployed among civilians. Hamas took its own people hostage. We used missiles to protect our children, while they used their children to protect their missiles. It is unbelievable. Nevertheless, we were able to retaliate, and we are talking about a force considerably larger than ISIS. Of course, ISIS can be stopped. Of course, we must fight against ISIS. But I believe it is only one of two dangers to humanity. It is not even the greatest. I believe a much greater danger comes from other Islamic militants led by Iran. The Shia militants, led by Iran, along with their allies: Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and more recently, the Houthi rebels in Yemen. But the greater danger is that any of these Islamic militants—whether Sunni, such as ISIS or Al-Qaeda, or Shia from Iran—acquire nuclear weapons. The greatest danger to global security, to the security of Europe, to the security of Romania, and to the security and future of Israel is if Iran becomes a potential nuclear power.

Hezbollah took power there, and with Iranian support, they launched thousands of missiles against us.

I believe that the issue of future borders within a real peace framework, including the question of settlements, is something that must be discussed. However, above all, we will not accept that we are foreign occupiers on this territory. We are not. We have been here for nearly 4,000 years, since the times of Abraham. Do you remember King David? The kings of Israel, the prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah? Where do you think they were? They were here! Right on the land of Israel. Some tell us that these are foreign lands that we have occupied, like the Belgians in the Congo or the French in Algeria. No, that is not the case. This is part of the Jewish homeland. But I acknowledge that in our historical homeland, another people lived, the Palestinian people. We must find a solution for both. But to say that we have no right to be here, that we must leave, and even worse, be expelled, leaving terrorists who seek to destroy us on the small territory that remains to us, is not right; it is unjust. I am ready to make compromises for peace, but I am not ready to commit suicide. I want a lasting peace, a peace that we can defend. And the only peace that can endure here is a peace that we can defend. I believe the real problem is not the settlements, nor where we will draw the borders. The real problem is whether there is the will on the Palestinian side to finally accept a Jewish state in any borders. I believe it is an existential issue: whether they recognize the very existence, the principle of Israel's right to exist. This is the essence of the conflict. And if this is resolved, there will be peace, very simply. And I hope that one day we will achieve peace, that this day will come soon. But in fact, what we see in the Middle East is that things are moving in another direction.

The Air Force insisted that administrative passwords be unique and distinct from general user passwords, thereby preventing average users from obtaining administrative privileges. Specifications were also added to increase the length and complexity of passwords and to require them to expire every 60 days.\n\nIt then took two years for the Air Force to catalog and test all the software applications on its networks against the new configuration to uncover conflicts. In some cases, where internally designed software interacted with Windows XP in an insecure way, they had to modify the in-house software.\n\n\"We started to put discipline into what people were fielding in the way of applications,\" Gilligan said. \"It required a lot of senior-level attention because this was not something that the IT guys were happy about. We were taking control from them and forcing them to make modifications in systems. But the benefits were huge because now the Air Force knows what is fielded; they know all the applications that run against a certain configuration.\"\n\nIn addition to the secure configuration, they also got Microsoft to install automated tools to update patches and to detect and prevent someone from altering the configuration.\n\nHaving a single configuration across the network greatly reduced the time it took to patch systems. Gilligan said it used to take the Air Force well over 100 days to install patches after new vulnerabilities were discovered, because the military's network administrators had to test the patches against multiple configurations. Emergency patches that needed to be installed post-haste took 57 days to install, leaving systems vulnerable to intruders during that time.\n\n\"Once the flaw was known, then those who wanted to attack our systems could be developing attacks in that time,\" Gilligan said.\n\nBut with a single configuration, all that testing is now done by Microsoft before it releases a patch, saving the Air Force time. An added benefit of the new configuration was a 40 percent drop in the number of calls to Air Force help desks.\n\n\"Turns out when you configure things properly and don't touch them, they actually work pretty well,\" Gilligan said.\n\nThe Air Force began the project in 2005 and finished installing the new configuration on systems in 2007. In contracts with hardware providers it demanded that vendors pre-load the special Windows XP configuration onto systems before delivering them to the Air Force.\n\nThe USAF saved $100 million on a five-year license agreement with Microsoft by consolidating more than 30 contracts – made possible by the fact that it was now able to buy a single standard configuration.\n\nMost importantly, security of the system improved. Gilligan said 85 percent of attacks were blocked after the configuration was installed.\n\n\"Once you get the standard configuration, then it becomes a much harder target to attack,\" Gilligan said. \"I will not say that the Air Force cannot be penetrated, but the incidents have decreased.

A researcher in Germany has carried out a spectroscopic analysis of the impact of CO2 and other greenhouse gases on warming.\n\nIt arrives, unsurprisingly, at a value one-seventh of the IPCC’s best estimate for climate sensitivity for a CO2 doubling. It looks intriguing at first blush.\n\nThe climate sensitivity (CS), as a measure for the temperature increase found when the actual CO2 concentration is doubled, assumes CS = 0.41°C for the tropical zone, CS = 0.40°C for the moderate zones, and CS = 0.92°C for the polar zones. The weighted average over all regions, representing the global climate sensitivity, is found to be CS = 0.45°C with an estimated uncertainty of 30%. This uncertainty mostly results from the lack of more precise data for the convection between the ground and atmosphere, as well as atmospheric backscattering. The values for the global climate sensitivity published by the IPCC cover a range from 2.1°C to 4.4°C with an average value of 3.2°C, which is seven times larger than that predicted here.\n\nHere is the link to the abstract:\n\nhttp://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2011/EGU2011-4505-1.pdf\n\nThe paper is being presented at the EGU General Assembly 2011 in Vienna.\n\nPerhaps our WUWT readers can dissect this and see how well it holds up.

Spectroscopic studies and modelling of the influence of H2O, CO2 and CH4 on our climate\n\nHermann Harde\n\nHelmut-Schmidt-Universität Hamburg, Germany\n\nBased on the actual HITRAN’2008 database, detailed spectroscopic studies on the absorbance of the greenhouse gases water, carbon dioxide, and methane in the atmosphere are presented. The objective of these investigations was to examine and quantify, using these newly available data, the influence of these gases on our climate.\n\nThe line-by-line calculations for sunlight from 0.1 to 8 micrometers (short wavelength radiation), as well as those for the emitted earth radiation from 3 to 60 micrometers (long wavelength radiation), show that due to the strong overlap of the CO2 and CH4 spectra with the water vapour lines, the influence of these gases is significantly reduced with increasing water vapour pressure. Furthermore, with increasing CO2 concentration, well-noticeable saturation effects are observed, limiting substantially the impact of CO2 on the warming of the atmosphere.\n\nFor water vapour, which in its concentration varies considerably with altitude above ground as well as with climate zone, separate distributions for the tropics, the moderate zones, and the polar regions are presented.\n\nThey are based on actual GPS measurements of the water content in these zones and are applied for calculating the absorbance in the respective regions. The vertical variation in humidity and temperature, in the partial gas pressures, and the total pressure is considered for each zone separately by computing individual absorption spectra for up to 228 atmospheric layers from ground level up to 86 km height.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5236, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "a4453506699c2368d888dc716f51d6fa980ae02e", "raw_chars": 2418, "clean_chars": 2413, "edit_ratio": 0.2171, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Events at Cairo's Tahrir Square unfolded in a remarkably similar fashion. Inspired by images of the popular struggle in Tunisia, activists independently agreed on a \"Day of Rage\" for January 25, 2011. The revolutionary spirit of the demonstrators was partly a consequence of the two Palestinian intifadas, which helped inspire grassroots organizing and discredited the use of violence as an effective means of social change. Learning from previous radical movements and their own predecessors, they adopted an approach similar to that of the students at Tiananmen Square, reaching out to progressive organizations and forming strong ties with Egypt's labor movement. The result was that Hosni Mubarak resigned on February 13, 2012.\n\nMost importantly, memories of China's violent crackdown in Tiananmen Square helped dampen Mubarak's sense of freedom in putting down the Tahrir protests. The fear was clear, particularly if one paid attention to the number of parallels being made to Tiananmen at the time. This was evident not just among activists, who were eager to be more successful than their Chinese peers, but also among politicians and an ever-conservative global news media, eager to see the Egyptian revolution as a replay of 1989 in Eastern Europe.\n\nBy the end of 2012, radical movements throughout the region had treated the Egyptian revolution as a catalyst, whose inspiration is still being felt today in both North Africa and, of course, Syria. Though some of these revolutions have been more successful than others, the Middle Eastern political landscape has been irreversibly transformed by them, largely for the better. Despite the disappointments experienced in Egypt, where the struggle for democracy has renewed itself as of late.\n\nMy greatest fear is that the Egyptian revolution will end up being as disappointing as that attempted in China. Will the political energies that threw out Mubarak lead to real democracy, or will it remain instrumental in the perpetuation of the status quo? Only time will tell. In the interim, what I hope for is something closer to the Eastern European example. That is the connection, for me, between the collapse of Communism and the Arab Spring, and why 1989 and 2012 remain worthy of comparison.

Our Master System actually belonged to my father. He rarely played it, but it was still technically his.\n\nI wouldn’t have normally spent one of my IOUs on a game for a system that wasn’t mine, but I just couldn’t resist this one. Or maybe the store just didn’t have any good Nintendo games in stock that day. I don’t know, it was a hundred years ago.\n\nAt first, I was disappointed. The game paled in comparison to Nintendo’s Pro Wrestling, and if it’s possible for something to be frustratingly easy, this was it. None of that kept me from playing it hundreds of times, though. Perhaps repetition really is key, because I came out of those experiences wholly convinced that this was a great game.\n\nPro Wrestling has a two-player “versus” mode, but I almost never played the Master System with my buddies. No, for me, this was always a solo journey – a struggle to stay awake for thirty matches that never once threw me a curve.\n\nBelow is a breakdown of one-player game, from start to finish. By the end of it, you may agree that it was a little too thorough. My bad.\n\nThe first order of business, henceforth FOOB, is to choose your team. (There are only tag team matches in Pro Wrestling.) Who you choose is mostly a matter of visual preference, but each wrestler does have special moves.\n\nI went with the Mad Soldiers, who, according to the manual, are named Muscle Soldier and Iron Soldier. Clearly inspired by the Road Warriors, this was as close as the game got to a real life wrestler reference.\n\nI chose them for two important reasons. One, Muscle Soldier’s “lariat” is the best move in the game, utterly cheap and always effective. It’s Super Smash Pikachu lightning, in spirit if not appearance. In most matches, I just nail a lariat on my opponent five times in a row, pin him and move on. If I don’t do that, it’s only because I’m bored of doing that. The lariat is a foolproof victory, every time.\n\nAnd the other reason is this:\n\nOnly two teams can use the steel chair, and Mad Soldiers is one of them. “Are” one of them? I don’t know. Word’s grammar checks can only mask my stupidity for so long. When I say that the bottom tastes like oak, you can be assured that it is true.\n\nThe chair sporadically appears outside the ring, and though it can be extremely hard to hit anyone with it (since the defense is to simply walk in the other direction for the five seconds the chair gets before black magic blinks it out of existence), who can resist? Plus, I’m not going back to check, but I’m pretty sure I remember special music playing whenever I grabbed that chair.\n\nTo balance things out, the teams that can’t use the chair are afforded high risk maneuvers from the top turnbuckle. Those never seem to connect, either. Basically, if you’re playing Pro Wrestling, just keep kicking until you win.\n\nNow that I’ve chosen my team, it’s finally time to wrestle. My first goal is to beat the stupid Crush Brothers ten freakin’ times.\n\nThe Crush Brothers (Elder and Younger Crusher) may be the least compelling of the teams, but they do have some of the best moves. Unfortunately for them, they won’t have a chance to use them. My Mad Soldiers are unstoppable; to them pain is as phony as that “Area 51 Alien Interview” video.

If you ever wonder why a formerly prominent figure in world politics—or William Shatner—has been keeping an inexplicably low profile, there is a good chance you will find them at Get Motivated! preaching the gospel of optimism.\n\nAs befits such celebrity, the staging is far from dingy. The production features banks of swooping spotlights, sound systems pumping out rock anthems, and expensive pyrotechnics. Each speaker is welcomed to the stage amid showers of sparks and puffs of smoke. These special effects help propel the audience to ever higher altitudes of excitement. It also does not hurt that for many attendees, a trip to Get Motivated! means an extra day off work, as many employers classify it as job training. Even the United States military, where \"training\" usually means something more rigorous, endorses this view. In San Antonio, scores of the stadium's seats are occupied by uniformed soldiers from the local Army base.\n\nTechnically, I am here undercover. Tamara Lowe, the self-described \"world's No. 1 female motivational speaker,\" who along with her husband runs the company behind Get Motivated!, has been accused of denying access to reporters, a group notoriously prone to negativity. Lowe denies the charge, but out of caution, I have been describing myself as a \"self-employed businessman.\" I am realizing too late that this tactic only makes me sound shifty. I need not have bothered with subterfuge anyway, as I am much too far away from the stage for the security staff to see me scribbling in my notebook. My ticket describes my seat as \"premier seating,\" but this turns out to be another case of positivity run amok: at Get Motivated!, there is only \"premier seating,\" \"executive seating,\" and \"VIP seating.\"\n\nIn reality, my seat is up in the nosebleed section. It is a hard plastic perch, painful on the buttocks. But I am grateful for it, because it means that by chance I am seated next to a man who, as far as I can make out, is one of the few cynics in the arena. He is an amiable, large-limbed park ranger named Jim, who sporadically leaps to his feet to shout \"I'm so motivated!\" in tones laden with sarcasm.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5275, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7637707f72f01d35d379740c91f3eeeb9dd10897", "raw_chars": 2215, "clean_chars": 2213, "edit_ratio": 0.5447, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "After 26 losses, Ron Paul secured his first popular vote victory over the weekend.

Despite Paul's popular vote win, Romney secured seven of the nine available delegates.\n\nAccording to the Republican Party of the Virgin Islands, the caucus selected three delegates for Romney, one for Paul, and two uncommitted delegates, one of whom later pledged support for Romney. The former Massachusetts governor also holds the support of the three RNC member delegates.\n\nWhile some Paul supporters might be upset by this result, it aligns with what the campaign hopes to achieve elsewhere. Despite losing the popular vote in caucus states like Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, and Minnesota, the Paul campaign believes the Texas congressman can secure more delegates than polls suggest, according to a press release issued in February.\n\nIn response to reports declaring Romney the winner, Ron Paul’s campaign blogger Jack Hunter posted a video titled \"math lesson for mainstream media,\" emphasizing that 29 percent is indeed higher than 26 percent. The video aimed to highlight that in most other contests, media outlets reported winners based on the popular vote. The U.S. Virgin Islands was the first instance where delegates were used to determine the winner.\n\nHunter questioned whether the mainstream media would adjust its reporting if delegate counts were used as the metric. \"If we’re going to start to measure it according to delegate counts…when we go back and look at who actually has accumulated the most delegates in some of these states – Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and beyond – and Ron Paul actually picks up more delegates possibly than what his straw poll finish would indicate, is the mainstream media going to adjust accordingly?\" he asked.\n\nHunter continued by arguing that the media would likely not report Paul as the winner even if he accumulated more delegates through the caucus process. \"The mainstream media is trying to have it both ways,\" he said. \"Once again, when Ron Paul does win, they find all sorts of ways to ignore it.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5269, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "533b9b96209f0b93a12d1b05ef7f9bde44f7c352", "raw_chars": 2797, "clean_chars": 2748, "edit_ratio": 0.7623, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The problems to which Daniel Wegner dedicated much of his career all have their origins in a simple and intensely irritating parlor game, which dates back at least to the days of Fyodor Dostoevsky, who reputedly used it to torment his brother. It takes the form of a challenge: can you, the victim, succeed in not thinking about a white bear for one whole minute? You can guess the answer, of course, but it is nonetheless instructive to make the attempt. Why not try it now? Look at your watch, or find a clock with a second hand, and aim for a mere ten seconds of entirely non-white-bear-related thoughts, starting now.\n\nMy commiserations on your failure.\n\nWegner's earliest investigations of ironic process theory involved little more than issuing this challenge to American university students, then asking them to speak their inner monologues aloud while they made the attempt. This is a rather crude way of accessing someone's thought processes, but an excerpt from one typical transcript nonetheless vividly demonstrates the futility of the struggle:\n\n\"Of course, now the only thing I'm going to think about is a white bear... Don't think about a white bear. Ummm, what was I thinking about before? See, I think about flowers a lot... Okay, so my fingernails are really bad... Every time I really want, like... ummm... to talk, think, to not think about the white bear, then it makes me think about the white bear more...\"\n\nAt this juncture, you might be beginning to wonder why it is that some social psychologists seem to be allowed to spend other people's money proving the obvious. Of course the white bear challenge is virtually impossible to win. But Wegner was just getting started. The more he explored the field, the more he came to suspect that the internal mechanism responsible for sabotaging our efforts at suppressing white bear thoughts might govern an entire territory of mental activity and outward behavior. The white bear challenge, after all, seems like a metaphor for much of what goes wrong in life: all too often, the outcome we're seeking to avoid is exactly the one to which we seem magnetically lured.\n\nWegner labelled this effect \"the precisely counterintuitive error,\" which, he explained in one paper, \"is when we manage to do the worst possible thing, the blunder so outrageous that we think about it in advance and resolve not to let that happen. We see a rut coming up in the road ahead, and proceed to steer our bike right into it.

New Thought arose in rebellion against the dominant, gloomy message of American Calvinism, which taught that relentless hard work was the duty of every Christian. This message carried the additional sting of predestination, suggesting that one might already be marked to spend eternity in Hell regardless of their efforts. New Thought, by contrast, proposed that individuals could achieve happiness and worldly success through the power of the mind.\n\nThis mind-power could even cure physical ailments, according to Christian Science, a religion that grew directly from the same roots. Yet, as Ehrenreich makes clear, New Thought imposed its own kind of harsh judgmentalism. It replaced Calvinism's obligatory hard work with obligatory positive thinking. Negative thoughts were fiercely denounced, a message that echoed the old religion's condemnation of sin while adding an insistence on the constant interior labor of self-examination.\n\nQuoting the sociologist Micki McGee, Ehrenreich shows how, under this new orthodoxy of optimism, continuous and never-ending work on the self was offered not only as a road to success but also to a kind of secular salvation.\n\nGeorge Bush, then, was standing in a venerable tradition when he proclaimed the importance of optimism in all circumstances. But his speech at the Get Motivated! event was over almost as soon as it had started. It featured a dash of religion, a singularly unilluminating anecdote about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, some words of praise for the military, and then he was waving goodbye, saying, \"Thank you, Texas, it's good to be home!\" as his bodyguards closed in around him. Beneath the din of cheering, Jim, the park ranger in the next seat, emitted a sigh of relief. \"OK, I'm motivated now,\" he muttered to nobody in particular. \"Is it time for some beer?\"\n\n\"There are lots of ways of being miserable,\" says a character in a short story by Edith Wharton, \"but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running around after happiness.\" This observation pungently expresses the problem with the \"cult of optimism\"—the ironic, self-defeating struggle that sabotages positivity when we try too hard. But it also hints at the possibility of a more hopeful alternative, an approach to happiness that might take a radically different form. The first step is to learn how to stop chasing positivity so intently. However, many of the proponents of the \"negative path\" to happiness take things further still, arguing, paradoxically but persuasively, that deliberately plunging more deeply into what we think of as negative may be a precondition of true happiness.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5291, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "cf03d65121424f805e1238c9b65bbabc5c115cb6", "raw_chars": 1054, "clean_chars": 1100, "edit_ratio": 0.0919, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We understand the privacy sensitivities associated with an extension that extracts text from what you read, so we have designed Churnalism to be highly customizable and to never retain identifiable information such as your IP address.

Compared to countries in central, western, northern, and southern Europe, only Hungary has a higher mortality rate. The rates in Scotland are almost 70% higher than the UK average and 60% higher than they were 30 years ago.\n\nThe Scottish Public Health Observatory, a collaboration led by Information Services Division Scotland (ISD Scotland) and NHS Health Scotland, published the liver disease statistics. The data reveals that male mortality rates for chronic liver disease are twice as high as those for women, and people in the most deprived areas are more than five times more likely to die from the condition than those in the least deprived areas.\n\nScottish Public Health Minister Michael Matheson stated that implementing minimum alcohol pricing would save lives. He emphasized that the death and suffering caused by chronic liver disease is far too high, with much of the blame falling on the nation's relationship with alcohol. \"Cheap alcohol comes at a cost to our nation's health, and we need to reduce the toll alcohol is taking on our society,\" Matheson said. He noted that it is unacceptable for Scotland to rank among the worst countries in Europe for chronic liver disease, adding that alcohol misuse costs Scotland £3.6 billion annually. This equates to £900 per adult, whether they drink or not, which could be better utilized. Matheson highlighted that the affordability of high-alcohol drinks is a particular problem, and minimum unit pricing is a key part of the solution.\n\nThe Scottish Parliament has passed legislation to introduce a minimum price of 50p per unit. However, the plan has faced legal challenges from European wine and spirit producers, as well as the Scotch Whisky Association.\n\nIn a separate development, a target for cancer patients to begin treatment has been missed by half of Scotland's NHS boards. According to the latest statistics on cancer waiting times, covering July to September, seven boards failed to meet the standard of getting at least 95% of patients with a suspicion of cancer to their first treatment within 62 days. NHS Grampian scored the lowest, with only 89.5% of patients receiving their first treatment within the timeframe. Orkney was the only board to achieve 100%. The boards that missed the 95% target included Highland, Borders, Fife, Ayrshire and Arran, Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and Shetland. The national average stood slightly below the target at 94.5%.\n\nAll 14 boards passed a second target, ensuring that 95% of all patients, regardless of the referral route, wait a maximum of 31 days from the decision to treat to their first treatment. The national average for this metric was 98.1%, a slight increase from previous figures.\n\nHealth Secretary Alex Neil commented on the waiting times, stating, \"We understand that having to wait for tests or to begin cancer treatment can be frightening and at the very least frustrating.\" He added that the government continues to scrutinize performance across NHS Scotland and requests action plans from boards where performance against the cancer waiting times standard has not been maintained.

In the case of Colombia, he seeks to help the leaders of this urbanizing nation create the necessary conditions to build productive and \"livable\" future cities.\n\nRather than embracing a \"Soviet-style\" deterministic plan, he advocates setting up rules of the game that permit many development paths, allowing individual cities to discover their industrial comparative advantage and the needs and desires of their growing urban middle class.\n\nWhen asked what items a \"quality city\" should have, Romer explains: \"In the beginning, all you can do is make an allocation of public space. But a quality city needs a substantial amount of public space if it is eventually to support high density. For example, in mid-town Manhattan, the roads and the sidewalks alone take up about 30% of the surface area of the land. This was the allocation that was specified in the plan drawn up in 1811, when what is now mid-town was rural farm area. Informal development will typically devote far less land than this for mobility. And remember, in 1811, when this plan was drawn up, people had no idea how we would be using this land today. They did not know what a bicycle was, much less what a bus or car was. But they knew that in the future, this generous allocation of public space would give the city the flexibility to take advantage of new opportunities.\"\n\nThis highlights the implicit discussion of \"option value.\" In a world with countless unknowns, where we know that we will learn about our changing environment, only a fool locks himself into a pre-determined path.\n\nRegarding how cities should confront fast urban population growth and continuous industrial and business development, there is great wisdom in the general advice that economists give: let the market guide most decisions. The important exception is that only a government can establish the division between urban public space and urban private land. The difficulty arises because the only affordable way to get this allocation right is to do it before urban development takes place. It is economically expensive to try to do what Haussmann did in Paris under Napoleon III, which involved destroying many buildings to create new public space. Politically, I suspect that this kind of reallocation will never again be feasible.\n\nIf a city gets the allocation of public and private space right, then the market can guide the development of urban floor-space for housing, industrial, and commercial use. In the beginning, the process may look messy. Manhattan had shantytowns and informal development as it grew. But over time, the buildings can change. What won't change is the quantity of public space.\n\nThe Urbanization Project proposal for developing cities with quality and a long-term outlook is to tell officials in rapidly growing cities that they have to set aside now the public space in the area where the city is likely to expand. To stay ahead of rapid growth, the city needs to look far into the future. We encourage cities today to plan for the expansion that will take place between now and 2050 under a fast growth scenario. If the city is growing rapidly, this can require a plan that could accommodate a 10-fold increase in the city's built area.

The lawsuit names Neon Boots and RRJJJD, LLC, a company whose recent Texas Secretary of State filings list Rodney D. Myers and James L. Daily III as president and vice president, respectively.\n\nThe 44-year-old woman, identified in the lawsuit only as \"Jane Doe,\" claims she visited the northwest Houston club with friends on the night of October 4. She awoke around 5:30 a.m. the following morning on the floor of the ladies' room, bloody, bruised, and in extreme pain, with no memory of how she arrived there. Finding her cell phone dead and realizing she was stranded, she set off the club's burglar alarm to summon help.\n\nMedical records cited in the suit concluded that she was \"brutally torn from being vaginally raped and sodomized.\" The records also noted severe bruising on both of her inner thighs that resembled fingerprints, suggesting someone had forcibly held her legs open.\n\nThe woman's attorney, Diana Sims, alleges that the Houston Police Department compounded the trauma by failing to immediately question club staff. Sims claims the lead investigator allowed the case to languish until contacted by KTRK reporter Jessica Willey the previous week.\n\nAccording to the lawsuit, the woman met friends for a birthday dinner at a restaurant on the night of October 3, where she consumed two glasses of wine over approximately two and a half to three hours. The group then moved to another bar, where she had one cocktail. The suit states she arrived at Neon Boots with 13 others, all of whom testified that she did not appear drunk when most of them left around midnight. After that time, independent witnesses reported observing the woman acting bizarrely and aggressively.\n\n\"Several witnesses stated that she exhibited signs of being on some sort of drug,\" the suit alleges. \"She was touching people inappropriately and grabbing people as they passed by her. It was blatantly obvious to these witnesses that she was highly intoxicated, even though none of the witnesses observed her excessive drinking.\"\n\nThe woman became so disruptive that one witness told a bartender around 2 a.m. that an intoxicated patron needed to leave. Another patron recalled being ushered out of the bar around 2:15 a.m. with her friends, yet observed the woman standing alone at the back of the bar. Throughout the night, this witness watched the woman's erratic behavior and expressed confusion as to why staff allowed an obviously intoxicated patron to remain in the bar, even at closing time when everyone else was told to leave.\n\nVideo surveillance shows the woman walking to the ladies' room around 2:15 a.m., according to the lawsuit. What occurred between that time and when she awoke at 5:30 a.m. is described in the suit as a vicious, prolonged attack \"seemingly committed by someone extremely familiar with his surroundings and skillful enough to avoid the normal bar closing protocol of Neon Boots.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5299, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7fcb2b6af71a5ab47d10e09415eb49099ce7338e", "raw_chars": 2490, "clean_chars": 2494, "edit_ratio": 0.0542, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When UFC fighters stride to the cage tonight at the Garden, they will be adorned in Reebok gear, a Canton-based company's hope to define the look of a fighter for years to come.

Just shy of two years ago, McMahon announced his most recent project, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, and debuted the single \"Cecilia and the Satellite,\" named after his daughter. The song received pop and alternative radio play and held spots across Billboard’s Adult Pop, Alternative, Rock, and Hot 200 charts.\n\n\"It’s been incredible for me,\" McMahon tells New Times. \"Obviously, you take a chance doing something new on the heels of projects that have been successful in their own right. It’s something I’ve done a couple times now because the mood struck me and I felt like that would be the right path.\"\n\nPreviously, McMahon saw success with his high school band, Something Corporate, throughout the early 2000s, and later with his solo project, Jack’s Mannequin. \"Seeing that taking that chance led to what became my first traditional radio song and has gotten my name out to people that haven’t heard my music before, it feels like a win so far,\" McMahon continues. \"Cecilia and the Satellite\" reached eight Billboard charts, including the Hot 100, something his other projects didn't achieve. His album, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, also reached the number four position on Billboard’s Top Alternative album chart.\n\n\"There’s no stopping in this game of music that we play. You’re always trying to write the best song and do the next thing and make more fans, and we’re certainly out here on that mission,\" McMahon says. \"But it’s been a pretty lovely road so far.\"\n\nWe caught up with Andrew McMahon to hear more about touring with a family and trying to condense his musical history into a 35-minute set list.\n\nNew Times: You’ve toured with your wife and daughter before, and we saw pictures of your dog on the bus.

We don’t really fly with her that often, so we loaded her on the bus with the band, myself, and the crew. Then, my wife and daughter will join us in about a week’s time. They’ll pop on and off for the first month, and in the beginning of July, they’ll be with me for the rest of the run.

It’s fun to get these opportunities where we get to bring her out; these summer tours are the perfect time, and I’m looking forward to getting to travel with her this summer.

Resident Evil 6 is scheduled for release on November 20 for consoles, with a PC version to follow shortly after.\n\nCapcom stated that Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy, characters from previous games in the series, would star alongside a number of new characters in Resident Evil 6. Speaking about the game's plot, the company explained that it has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident. The President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place, believing it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. The President is accompanied by his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy. However, when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest-ever decision.\n\nThe series previously caused controversy in 2009 when the fifth installment was accused of racism. Resident Evil 5 was set in Africa, with many of the game's targets being native Africans. A number of journalists and bloggers expressed concern that the game would encourage negative stereotypes. In an interview with MTV after the release of Resident Evil 5, producer Jun Takeuchi said there was a \"misunderstanding\" that occurred when the company published the first images of the game. Speaking about the accusations of racism, Takeuchi said, \"We were quite surprised by the reaction that came out. I think everyone understands that we never set out with the intention to make anything that was racist. That was never our intention.\"\n\nFans of the series also complained that Resident Evil 5 was too action-based and had strayed too far from the game's original horror roots. In 2010, Capcom's product marketing manager Matt Dahlgren commented, \"A lot of fans thought Resident Evil 5 was too much action and not enough survival horror.

Similar passages in third-grade textbooks describe the Congress as a Hindu party and assert that Muslims feared they would be enslaved by Hindus after independence. Furthermore, Pakistani textbooks frequently portray non-Muslim citizens as sympathetic to the country's perceived enemies, depicting Pakistani Christians as Westerners or akin to British colonial oppressors, and Pakistani Hindus as Indians. This narrative fosters hatred toward minorities among the Muslim population, effectively brainwashing young minds with systematic, institutionalized lies and bigoted teachings.\n\nEfforts to address these communal teachings in Pakistani textbooks, whether to mend state policies or to secularize the legacy of the \"Father of the Nation,\" are unlikely to reverse the decline of the minority population. Instead, Pakistan appears to be propagating a facade of human rights advocacy and textbook reform to avoid international blame for the systematic erasure of Hindus, Sikhs, and other minorities. The demographic decline of Hindus in Pakistan—from 16 percent before 1946 to 1.6 percent today, with projections suggesting near extinction within the next decade under Islamic repression—is a stark reality, while a reversal of this trend seems impossible.\n\nDespite these issues, the Sindh Textbook Board has included excerpts from Quaid-e-Azam's speeches in the eighth and ninth-grade syllabi, though in practice, these lessons are often not taught effectively. A recent study by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recommended a review of Pakistani textbooks, insisting that the overemphasis on Islam as the \"only correct\" faith violates both the Constitution of Pakistan and the ideals of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.\n\nThe report, titled \"Teaching Intolerance in Pakistan: Religious Bias in Public School Textbooks,\" identifies a recurring trend across all grade levels: the glorification of war and war heroes. It notes that the conquest of Sindh by Muhammad bin Qasim and seventeen famous attacks by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni are proudly featured in every textbook. Highlighting these events as the beginning of civilization in the subcontinent, while ignoring the evolution of art, architecture, and culture, remains a key problem in the curriculum.\n\nAnother study conducted by the Pakistan-based Peace and Education Foundation (PEF) found that social studies, Pakistan studies, and history curricula teach a version of history that promotes a national Islamic identity and often frames conflicts with India in religious terms. The findings corroborate evidence from a 2011 study, confirming that textbooks typically emphasize communalism and Islam.

On its dusty streets, indigenous farmers unload dozens of blue, yellow, and red sacks, each containing 46kg of the grain.\n\nThey had been growing Quinoa over the infertile steppes of the Andes - the continental mountain range stretching across South America - for more than 7,000 years before the UN considered its nutritive properties as a means to eradicate malnutrition globally, and proclaimed 2013 as the international year of Quinoa.\n\nRich in protein, minerals and vitamins, the grain has become a world renowned food, and its price has skyrocketed.\n\n\"Very soon we’ll sell Quinoa to the Pope,\" said Victor Hugo Vasquez, Bolivia's deputy minister of Rural Development and Land. \"We’re establishing the arrangement to achieve the DOP classification in Europe and the trademark in the US.\"\n\nBolivia is the largest producer and exporter of this super-crop in the world. According to the Ministry of Rural Development and Land, in 2012 Bolivia produced around 58,000 tonnes , including 26,252 for export, generating a revenue of $79.9m.\n\n\"Thirty years ago, 46kg cost 20 Bolivianos ($2.90),\" Juan Crispín, president of the National Association of Quinoa producers, said. \"And we were cultivating only for our own consumption.\"\n\nThe Andes, and in particular the Southern Altiplano, have been an area of traditional poverty and deprivation. Four-thousand metres above sea level, the region is characterised by poor soil fertility, lack of rainfall and drastic temperature changes. Only Quinoa and a handful of other plants can survive here.\n\nGrowing interest\n\nInternational appetite for the region's grain was supposed to improve the lives of local farmers. \"Before we lived in thatched huts; now we have brick houses with tiles,\" said Hugo Choqui, a local Quinoa farmer. Some residents \"have bought vehicles to bring the crops from the fields to the warehouses\".\n\nAlthough the production is still in the hands of small and medium sized farmers, Bolivia is trying to get the most from this unexpected asset, and the government aims to expand the cultivated area up to 1 million hectares.\n\nNevertheless, many concerns have arisen related to such an expansion. Researchers and activists have sounded the alarm over the lack of any regional or national planning, which could hurt traditional production organisations and lead to a drop in oil productivity.\n\nThese newcomers are getting back to their villages thanks to the subsides of the government, breaking the previous organisation of the community.

The update includes a much-improved refresh of the Unity shell and a number of other significant improvements throughout the application stack.\n\nThis is the first version of Ubuntu to ship with Unity on the desktop. Due to the far-reaching nature of the changes that accompany the transition to a new desktop shell, this review will focus almost entirely on Unity and how it impacts the Ubuntu user experience. We will also look at how Unity compares with GNOME 3.0 and the classic GNOME experience.\n\nUbuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth first unveiled Unity roughly a year ago during his keynote address at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Belgium. It was originally introduced as a lightweight shell tailored for netbooks and other small form-factor devices. It shipped as the default user interface in the Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition, but was met with a lukewarm reception. It showed a lot of promise, but its appeal at that time was diminished by performance issues and a general lack of maturity.\n\nAt the latest Ubuntu Developer Summit, which was held in Florida six months ago, Shuttleworth announced plans to bring Unity to the desktop. The goal was to unify Ubuntu's desktop and netbook experiences with a single software environment capable of holding its own against proprietary competitors. In order to meet that ambitious goal, Unity's developers spent the duration of the Natty cycle overhauling the shell. They have resolved the performance problems and have closed many of the feature gaps that detracted from Unity's quality in 10.10.\n\nUbuntu 11.04 pulls together years of Ubuntu usability enhancement efforts—including Unity and the much-improved panel system that has gradually emerged from the Ayatana project—and ties them together to deliver a rich and highly cohesive desktop experience. Although the result is compelling, there are still a lot of rough spots and limitations that chafe along the environment's edges. Some parts, such as the application lens, seem awkward, poorly designed, and incomplete.\n\nThe default Ubuntu 11.04 desktop consists of a left-hand vertical dock and a top-mounted global menubar. The dock serves as a task management interface and a launcher for regularly used applications. It is functionally similar to the Mac OS X dock and Windows 7 task switcher.\n\nThe dock is dark and semi-transparent, like a sheet of black glass. A single column of colored tiles is displayed on top of the dock's surface. Each tile is adorned with an icon that indicates the tile's respective function. The tiles can represent launchers, running applications, or Unity lenses.\n\nClicking a launcher in the dock will bring forward the desired application or initiate it if it is not already running. A small sigil is shown to the left of tiles that are associated with applications currently running. Each application gets only one tile, with multiple windows signified by additional sigils next to the tile. An arrow will show up to the immediate right of the tile associated with the application that has active focus.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5391, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "fab2937be1781ea6286ffda104aed847d72f6a5d", "raw_chars": 2195, "clean_chars": 1569, "edit_ratio": 0.8363, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Star Wars Weekends host James Arnold Taylor, known for voicing Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, will appear every week of the event.

Let us demolish your overrated political quid pro quo industry and see how well you survive.\"\n\nSalena Zito, who comes from the region, responded respectfully but firmly: \"People from West Virginia are incredibly hard-working folks.\" She later added, \"Yes – truly an offensive statement,\" and pleaded, \"Please be nicer, Stu. This makes me so sad. This is exactly how folks from WV think the cosmopolitan class views them, and then they prove it.\"\n\nOthers joined in to defend the state's residents. William Bova wrote, \"All of my college classmates from West Virginia went home after school and supported themselves. Funny, most from DC and the suburbs went back and couldn't.\" Mamie Nickles shared a thread to illustrate how liberals and Democrats truly feel about people who need help getting on their feet, while Dan Holler praised Zito for calling out the awful rhetoric.\n\nRothenberg attempted to clarify his position, telling followers not to take it personally. He claimed he did not disagree with Zito's assessment that West Virginians are hard-working and that they \"mean well, despite all of their many shortcomings.\" However, he quickly followed up with another tweet: \"Of course they are hard-working. They mean well. Just close-minded, provincial, angry & easily misled. My wife's dad was a coal miner in PA.\"\n\nThis justification sparked further ridicule.

Bush would listen to Grover Norquist and embrace leaders of Muslim Brotherhood front groups after 9/11. Norquist is still very much a power player in American politics as president and founder of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). This is so despite his verifiable connections to nefarious Muslim groups and individuals. As Shoebat.com has written about on more than one occasion, it simply didn't make sense that Bush would get in bed with America's enemies just days after the 21st Century equivalent of Pearl Harbor.\n\nSadly, it makes far more sense these years later.\n\nOne of Norquist's partners was a man named Talat Othman, a Palestinian-American who served as Chairman of the Islamic Free Market Institute (Islamic Institute) for several years. When the 9/11 attacks happened, Othman's connections to George W. and his father George H.W. had already gone back several years. Check out the opening two paragraphs of a Wall Street Journal article dated December 6, 1991, when George H.W. Bush was president:\n\nTwo years ago, Talat Othman didn't have the president's ear. But since August 1990, the Palestinian-born Chicago investor has attended three White House meetings with President Bush to discuss Middle East policy. Mr. Othman's political access coincides with the remarkable ascendance of a little Texas oil company on whose board he serves alongside George W. Bush, the president's oldest son. That company, Harken Energy Corp. — though it had never drilled a single well overseas or in water — recently won the rights to drill potentially lucrative offshore wildcat wells in a contract bestowed by the government of Bahrain.\n\nAt the 2000 Republican National Convention, Othman was introduced by RNC Chairman Jim Nicholson to deliver a Muslim prayer to close the first day's proceedings. Take note of all the people in the audience bowing their heads:\n\nIn 2008, there were several figures tied to then candidate Barack Obama that the campaign of Republican Presidential nominee John McCain refused to go after. One of those individuals was Antonin \"Tony\" Rezko with whom Obama engaged in a shady land deal that should have ended Obama's campaign. Another was Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian who used to serve as a media spokesman for the PLO and Yasser Arafat. Both Rezko and Khalid are connected directly to Othman.\n\nAccording to a 2005 article that appeared in the Arab American Media Services, it was Othman who first introduced Rezko to Illinois politics:\n\nRezko also became an adviser to former Gov. George Ryan, who was later indicted on unrelated government corruption charges, and to Blagojevich. Rezko was introduced to state politics and Ryan's predecessor, Jim Edgar, by Talat Othman, a longtime fundraiser for state and city government officials. Edgar is now an associate of the PR firm Rezko hired to represent him.\n\nYears later, when the scandal involving an illegal land deal between Obama and Rezko was revealed as a perfect way to hurt Obama, there was very little focus placed on it. One reason why very well may have been that Rezko greatly aided Obama's political career in a way similar to how Bush's buddy Othman aided Rezko's.

I was sponsored by Jaguar at the time, and I told my driver: “You’re not taking me home; you’re driving Jonny back up to Newcastle!” You still didn’t learn when you got there, though. You went shopping at your local supermarket and caused a mini-riot.\n\nWILKINSON: I wouldn’t swap it for anything in my career, but that one night changed everything. Life stopped being simple. I have a very unhealthy fear of being celebrated. It doesn’t feel right. If I had my time again after the World Cup, I would face up to it more. I remember walking into my house in a hat, then sending my mate out in my car wearing the same hat, so my brother and I could drive off in his car and escape out the back.\n\nMaybe I should have gone out there and gotten used to the fact that my life had changed, but at the same time, I wanted to show people that I hadn’t. But I didn’t. Instead, I hid from it, and that kept the problems going. It made me feel fragile.\n\nWOODWARD: The years that followed brought an incredibly unlucky run of injuries for you. It wasn’t just a question of dealing with becoming a poster boy of British sport.\n\nWILKINSON: The adjustment would certainly have been easier but for the injuries. I should have turned around in 2003 and said: “That’s that done. Life can’t get any better; let’s just enjoy it.” But I didn’t, and because I couldn’t play, everything was related to that night. I made it a burden. I’ve thought a lot about the first half of my career, then the obvious break with all the injuries, then the second half, which includes my time now with Toulon. Things made a lot more sense in that first period. As time goes on, I’m realizing how precious those years were.

Over the past two years, the historic spacecraft has transformed scientists' understanding of comets as it orbited 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, sending a continuous stream of images and data back to Earth.\n\nScientists have now steered the spacecraft into the comet for a \"Grand Finale\" of data collection, after which Rosetta lost contact with Earth forever. The European Space Agency's spacecraft ended its mission by streaming data as it free-fell toward the comet's bumpy surface.\n\nAs reported by NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce, the controlled crash-landing did not destroy the spacecraft; it was traveling at approximately walking speed when it hit the comet. However, the antenna was no longer precisely angled toward Earth, causing the signal to be lost. The final impact is believed to have occurred at 6:39 a.m. ET on Friday, with the last signals reaching Earth around 7:20 a.m. ET.\n\nThe final moment of the mission was somewhat anticlimactic. After dramatic images of the comet, the moment of impact was revealed through a chart rather than a live video feed. When Rosetta hit 67P, the flow of data and images stopped, and the resulting silence signaled to scientists on Earth that the mission was over.\n\nDuring the final descent, the official Rosetta Twitter account shared images of the comet as it grew closer and tweeted farewells to its space-probe companions. By crashing on 67P, Rosetta followed the journey of its famous lander, Philae, the first probe ever to achieve a controlled landing on a comet.\n\nPhilae had sent unprecedented data back to Earth before its mission ended. Unfortunately, the probe bounced upon landing and came to rest with its solar panels shaded, which limited its power supply. It eventually fell silent as its batteries ran out, with its Twitter account marking the quiet demise with messages like \"it's cold and dark.\"\n\nRosetta has since documented the exact location where Philae landed, revealing how the probe became wedged in a shadowy crack. Scientists organizing Rosetta's \"Grand Finale\" apparently prioritized research over sentimentality, choosing a landing site that is not near Philae's resting place. One scientist noted on the livestream that Rosetta would have had to bounce a \"long way\" to land next to its companion probe.\n\nThe mission's scientific implications continue to be analyzed by researchers worldwide.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5430, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5d3d5146868d89779cb6ad7b69b74ce141cbad32", "raw_chars": 2906, "clean_chars": 3005, "edit_ratio": 0.5557, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Conservative pledge to reduce net immigration to \"tens of thousands\" has fallen apart. Net migration is currently running at over 300,000 per year, just below its previous peak under Labour in 2005. While there are upsides to immigration, there are also downsides, particularly at these high levels. As Ryan Bourne has explained, immigration can be detrimental to Britain's least skilled workers because highly skilled migrants often compete with lower-skilled Britons, keeping wages lower than they would otherwise be. Additionally, high immigration puts pressure on public services, including schools, hospitals, housing, roads, rail, and infrastructure. It can also cause social cohesion problems, such as when large numbers of people do not speak English.\n\nAll available polling indicates that most voters want less migration, though it also suggests that their desire for a reduction is matched by cynicism about politicians' willingness to deliver one. However, many of those who do not want less immigration still want better immigration control. This is one of the reasons why Bright Blue's manifesto on the subject proposed publishing an annual migration impact assessment, introducing a new class of national insurance contribution to be paid by migrants, and raising visa and citizenship test fees. This approach was part of a broader mix that would see a more relaxed regime for students, tourists, asylum seekers, and family members, alongside a gross rather than a net target.\n\nWhether you are part of the majority that wants less immigration or part of the even larger group that wants better immigration control, you will find that the bedrock EU principle of free movement is a roadblock to both. Originally, free movement applied only to workers in a smaller EU, or community, of western European states. However, the Maastricht Treaty broke the link between movement and work during the 1990s, and enlargement in 2004 swelled the number of people entitled to come to Britain. Nigel Farage made political capital out of the latest wave of entrants from Romania and Bulgaria, with the number of the former rising fivefold last year.\n\nEU migration accounts for less than half of the total, with roughly 270,000 people arriving last year compared to 290,000 from outside the EU. It is theoretically possible that the government might meet its net migration target if Britain experienced an economic slump while the Eurozone boomed, or solely by imposing further restrictions on the number of students entering from outside the EU. However, this would plainly be both an unreliable and undesirable way of reducing numbers. The prospect of a booming Eurozone and a bust Britain is, shall we say, rather remote. Indeed, the new minimum wage looks as though it will act as a magnet for further EU immigration. Furthermore, no one designing a rational migration system would begin by making it easier, for example, for low-skilled Slovenians to enter Britain than for higher-skilled Indians.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5431, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "fe61599e9406e1795c8c612b625e6db6915ba5be", "raw_chars": 3237, "clean_chars": 3109, "edit_ratio": 0.3681, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Wilkinson: There is another spooky story. I remember a meeting, years before 2003, where you came over to where I was sitting with Mike Catt and asked me, 'If you set up for a drop goal every time you went into the opposition territory, how many points could you feasibly score?' I was trying to add the threes up in my head, at which point Catt chirped up with, 'How many \"f\"s are there in bothered?' I looked at him and laughed, but the point stuck: drop goals can win games.\n\nWoodward: Rightly or wrongly, I always compare teams to that 2003 squad. Our 10-12 axis was amazing—you working alongside Mike Catt or Will Greenwood, who were such good talkers. We had an explosive back three and a celebrated back row, but another key element was the supreme ability of our tight-five forwards. Woodman, Thompson, and Vickery were big and tough, but they could really run and pass the ball, which is traditionally a very un-English thing to do.\n\nWilkinson: Catt and Greenwood were certainly great talkers—if they were here now, we wouldn't get a word in! But that communication was the key. I remember coming off the pitch at Twickenham and doing TV interviews with the media being very flattering, and I was feeling like a fraud, thinking, 'Are you kidding me? I'm not a genius—I just heard someone say give him the ball, so I gave him the ball!' My best-looking games were when someone was in my ear for 80 minutes telling me what to do, whereas my actual best games were when it was backs to the wall, dogging it out, and coming up with something.\n\nWoodward: For me, it always came down to pressure, and my aim was always to build a team that could withstand anything and keep their composure. The most pressurised week I remember was the build-up to our opening game of the World Cup against South Africa. I thought if we won then, we would make the final, and I've never seen more tension in the whole team than that week.\n\nWilkinson: For me, pressure was half-time against Wales in the quarter-finals, when Wales were leading 10-3. It was one of the worst feelings I've ever had in a changing room. But talking about it now, it feels like one of the best because I've never felt anything more intense than that team talk. Everybody was thinking: this isn't supposed to be happening, this cannot finish now. Half the guys wanted to scream and shout, half were speechless, but it was an intensive, organised re-gathering.\n\nEven the structure of half-time was meticulous. Two minutes to get your kit, then into groups: who would talk when and what about. When it really counts, that structure really means something.\n\nWoodward: The week building up to the final was decidedly calm. The night before the final, the locals were tooting horns and singing until the early hours, screaming 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie' and wearing T-shirts with 'Keep Jonny Awake'.\n\nWilkinson: My overriding memory of the build-up was the wall of white every time we left the hotel.

This system is not only morally wrong but also detrimental to development.\n\nAs real wages in Hong Kong stagnate, the cost of living has skyrocketed. This has increased poverty and widened the rich-poor divide, creating the worst inequality gap in the developed world.\n\nA lack of reform to equalize access to education, housing, and healthcare has stifled equal opportunity and labor mobility. Moreover, limited welfare and retirement protection leaves many feeling abandoned in their old age. Because of these limitations, economic booms in finance, trade, retail, and real estate do not trickle down to the broader population. This will eventually stunt local consumption and, in turn, investment, harming long-term growth.\n\nThere is resistance to these economic ideals from wealthy elite tycoons. As they are aided by Beijing's policies, they generally support them, as evidenced by the closed-door meeting between Xi Jinping and Hong Kong's tycoons last month.\n\nThese tycoons have become super-rich thanks to artificial barriers to competition in utilities, transportation, shipping, supermarkets, and real estate. This lack of competitive pressure gives them no incentive to innovate, which inevitably leads to low environmental and quality standards.\n\nThis concentration of power provides pricing leverage to exploit consumers and workers. It also reduces fair competition, which is worse for growth than any short-term investment reduction that might result from restructuring these cartels. To top it off, they take the majority of their earnings through tax-free dividends, increasing the tax burden on the middle class.\n\nGovernment priorities seem to cater more to tycoons than to the average consumer, who represents Hong Kong's best interests at this moment. For example, the government is slow to reduce land prices that are so high that only the wealthiest developers can afford to bid. Land revenue is automatically invested in infrastructure that is increasingly turning into 'white elephants'—great novelties to have, but too expensive to upkeep.\n\nAll these new high-speed rail links, runways, and flyovers ignore massive structural problems of poverty and inequality. As Spain's current stagnation shows, a lack of consumption caused by poverty can do more damage than reduced infrastructure spending.\n\nA vote is a right to voice an opinion to correct ineffective government policy.

However, only five of those 50 miles would be protected bike lanes, despite studies showing that such lanes reduce injuries to all road users by 20 percent. Currently, only 35 of the city's 960 miles of bike lanes are protected; the remaining 650 are on-street lanes, while 310 are located on greenways, parks, and bridges.\n\nWhen Manhattan Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez asked why the administration was not building more protected lanes, Trottenberg explained that constructing a safely designed protected lane requires intensive work, including collaboration with community groups, engineers, and merchant organizations. \"In Manhattan, five miles is the equivalent of about 100 city blocks,\" she noted. The administration has already built 43 miles of bike lanes this year, including a protected lane on Lafayette Street. Additional projects, such as two-way protected lanes on Paerdegat Avenue in Canarsie and Fort George Hill in Washington Heights, as well as lanes on Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights and 106th Street in East Harlem, are also underway.\n\nTransportation Alternatives executive director Paul Steely White testified that conditions for cyclists remain poor in most parts of the city, despite highly visible lanes in Manhattan and Brooklyn. He highlighted the \"intolerably high death toll\" among cyclists in 2014, with 18 deaths recorded so far. \"We can and must bring those numbers down,\" White said, emphasizing that building more protected lanes is an important step toward achieving the city's Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities.\n\nTrottenberg acknowledged the criticism but defended the administration's pace. \"If we want to accelerate that rate, I think that's a discussion for us at some point,\" she said. \"With our existing resources, we think we're moving as aggressively as we can, and that New York City is moving more aggressively than any other city in the country.\" However, advocates pointed out that Seattle is building more than six miles of protected lanes annually through 2020.\n\nTrottenberg also reiterated that her agency has been working closely with the NYPD to keep streets safe, though no police representatives attended the hearing. \"I can promise you, it's a really active dialogue we're having with the NYPD,\" she insisted.\n\nCouncilmembers at the hearing urged the expansion of Citi Bike to more neighborhoods, even suggesting the use of public funds to accelerate the process.

Even the most well-meaning, socially conscious adults fall into this trap, believing that boys are being left behind and that girls and girl interests \"dominate\" the children's book world.\n\nBut what does it mean for a book to be \"for boys\"?

So let's move that book over to the \"books for boys\" category, too. Now we are up to 14 \"books for boys\" and 6 \"books for girls.\" If you are going to play by that game, then R. J. Palacio's The Julian Chapter is also a \"book for boys,\" since the main character is a boy and he is featured on the cover.\n\nSince Hollow City has a girl on the cover, despite being written by a male author, is it a \"book for boys\" or a \"book for girls\"? I guess because it is grey and spooky looking and the girl isn't really there—she has a hole through her!—then maybe it is fine as a \"book for boys\" title.\n\nRemember when people talked about how girly young adult fiction was? Take a moment to check out the young adult book covers featured. Of the \"books for girls\" segment of the young adult titles, just one book features a girl in a big, fancy dress. The other \"books for girls\" covers feature the back of a girl and her long braid, and two feature a cast of characters, so it is not just a girl or group of girls.\n\nAnd what of that Frozen book? Isn't Frozen about girls?

Janet is thrilled about the jewelry shopping idea. Chyka, dressed in a power caftan, informs the others that Lydia is joining them in the suite despite their massive fight in the previous episode, though Chyka insists she has no intention of causing a scene. However, once Lydia arrives, it becomes clear she has other ideas.\n\nThe atmosphere is frosty, made more awkward by the fact that Chyka and Lydia are wearing very similar outfits. Susie trails off when commenting on the timing, but it is clear she recognizes that Lydia has broken one of the unspoken rules of being a housewife: thou shalt not wear a similarly printed kaftan to the housewife you are feuding with. Lydia later admits that the situation was intense and that she almost felt like Chyka did not want her there, showing a newfound ability to pick up on basic social cues.\n\nA diamond saleswoman tells the group that she has brought \"only the best of the best\" for them to try on their million-dollar pieces.

However, she carefully specifies that Lydia \"really hurt\" her and that she \"knows what she's done.\" Chyka then retires to a sofa with Jackie. Pettifleur joins them and asks Jackie outright if she feels responsible for creating all the tension. Chyka's response is simply to start drinking her champagne.\n\nFrom across the room, Lydia spies the conversation and slinks over to join them. This is exactly the thing Chyka said mere minutes ago she did not want to happen. She and Jackie quickly shut the confrontation down and rise to leave, but not before Lydia and Jackie cause a bit of a scene.\n\nJackie asks Lydia why she came over, and Lydia replies that she has a friend there. Jackie insists that she is not a friend to Chyka. Lydia retorts that Jackie thinks she knows everything, to which Jackie agrees, calling herself a know-it-all.

In February, the University of Toronto's Martin Prosperity Institute named the Austin/Round Rock area the most economically segregated large metropolitan area in the United States. While the gap between rich and poor is growing nationwide, the report indicates it is more dramatically visible in Austin due to its high population density.\n\nWhat is striking about the report is that the division is primarily between the east and the west. If West Austin and its accompanying suburbs have long been out of reach for lower-income families, the Eastside is becoming unaffordable as well. Neighborhood Scout provides statistics to illustrate this widening chasm: the median real estate price in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood is $314,236, which is more expensive than 91.7% of neighborhoods in Texas and 76.3% of neighborhoods in the United States.\n\nAn earlier study by the University of Texas at Austin's Institute for Urban Policy Research and Analysis showed a 5.4% decline in the city's African-American population between 2000 and 2010, a trend partially attributable to gentrification. Austin earned the distinction of being the only fast-growing city in America losing African-Americans during that period.\n\nCody Symington, a co-owner of the popular Cenote cafe at 1010 E. Cesar Chavez, acknowledges his own role in adding to the neighborhood's gentrification. However, upon arriving with a new eatery, he said he tries to be sensitive to the existing community, an attribute likely informed by spending his formative years on the Eastside. He reached out to the owners of Jumpolin shortly after their business was demolished to offer his space for a fundraiser to help cover rebuilding costs. On March 28, the Lejarazus raised nearly $2,000 from the sale of diminutive keepsake piñatas and cascarones. A concurrent fundraiser on GoFundMe has raised more than $5,000. The couple hopes to find a new site for their business and is currently operating at a borrowed location at 4926 E. Cesar Chavez.\n\n\"We were, for lack of a better term, gentrifiers when we moved into East Cesar Chavez,\" Symington said. \"But we knew we were moving into a community that was already there.\" Rather than razing a building to suit his needs, Symington set out to preserve the older building where Cenote is now located, which was once a private home. He quickly learned that the city's rules, particularly those related to parking, make preservation difficult. \"We moved here in 2010, but opened in 2012,\" he said, attributing the gap between moving in and opening to back-and-forth discussions related to parking issues. \"Unfortunately,\" he said, \"the city does make it extremely difficult to preserve a building. It boils down to parking.\"\n\nBut he knew saving the old building was an important part of entering the established neighborhood. \"Our goal was not to be gentrifiers, but we knew that's what people would call us,\" he said. \"I actually lived in the neighborhood in 2007. I can't now; I can't afford it.\"\n\nThat sensitivity, coupled with Cenote's goodwill toward their former neighbor Jumpolin, has helped ingratiate the self-described gentrifiers into the neighborhood.

It has been both praised and criticized by artists for centuries. Recently, a new lighting system based on LED lights has been developed for this medieval European Gothic cathedral.\n\nSeville Cathedral is a medieval wonder of Gothic architecture. Built in the early 16th century, it is the largest cathedral in the world. The significance of this Gothic art is not merely bound to its colossal beauty; it exhibits the post-Reconquista power and wealth of the city. The Gothic cathedral was built on the site of a large Almohad Mosque. It was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987.\n\nThe cathedral has the same large, rectangular plan as the replacing mosque, but with an added dimension of height. Some columns and other elements from the earlier mosque were used. The most interesting feature is the tower bell known as La Giralda, which was converted from the mosque's minaret and is now the city's most well-known icon.\n\nYork Minster is one of the finest cathedrals of medieval Europe. Built over 250 years, it is the largest of its kind in the region. Magnesian limestone, a creamy-white colored rock, was used for the building. The north transept of the cathedral is famous for its \"Five Sisters,\" five elegant lancet windows topped by five smaller gabled lancets. The cathedral's chapter house is a splendid example of the Gothic Decorated style.\n\nThe wooden roof is a real beauty and a remarkable work of medieval art. The cathedral has a long tradition of creating wonderful stained glass and houses a huge collection of it. York Minster was among the first to have a carillon of bells. This one of the top Gothic cathedrals plays an important role in the history of England.\n\nNotre Dame de Paris is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in France. Over 13 million people visit this medieval European Gothic cathedral, making it even more popular than the Eiffel Tower. It was a victim of the French Revolution, and extensive restoration work was necessary to restore its perfect shape. Its reliquary houses some of Catholicism's most important relics, including the purported Crown of Thorns, one of the Holy Nails, and a fragment of the True Cross. On December 2, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned Emperor in this cathedral.\n\nCologne Cathedral is one of the greatest masterpieces of Gothic art in medieval Europe. It is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany, and was the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne for a long time. Its splendid Gothic artwork earns it a status of World Heritage Site and attracts 20,000 people every day. It took over seven centuries to build this masterpiece. Obviously, the work was not continuous, but it got a chance to flourish through artwork from many eras.\n\nIt is now a symbolic figure of the city. Notable artworks of the cathedral include the Shrine of the Three Kings, a wooden sculpture depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. The cathedral was dedicated to the saints Peter and Mary. Like many other European architectural works, it also had to suffer the same fate and needed restoration.\n\nSanta Maria del Fiore", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5488, "chunk_idx": 17, "raw_sha1": "1048ff235441390e1195beeb18708e0d5b350e87", "raw_chars": 2796, "clean_chars": 2754, "edit_ratio": 0.0508, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In November 2012, the State Council of the People's Republic of China mandated a \"social risk assessment\" for all major industrial projects.

Among the various industrial branches, the machine-building and metallurgical industries have received the highest priority. These two areas alone now account for about 20–30 percent of the total gross value of industrial output. In these, as in most other areas of industry, however, innovation has generally suffered at the hands of a system that has rewarded increases in gross output rather than improvements in variety, sophistication, and quality. China, therefore, still imports significant quantities of specialized steels. Overall industrial output has grown at an average rate of more than 10 percent per year, having surpassed all other sectors in economic growth and degree of modernization. Some heavy industries and products deemed to be of national strategic importance remain state-owned, but an increasing proportion of lighter and consumer-oriented manufacturing firms are privately held or are private-state joint ventures.\n\nThe predominant focus of development in the chemical industry is to expand the output of chemical fertilizers, plastics, and synthetic fibers. The growth of this industry has placed China among the world's leading producers of nitrogenous fertilizers. In the consumer goods sector, the main emphasis is on textiles and clothing, which also form an important part of China's exports. Textile manufacturing, a rapidly growing proportion of which consists of synthetics, accounts for about 10 percent of the gross industrial output and continues to be important, but less so than before.

In 2004, approximately 25 million persons were employed by 743,000 private enterprises. Urban wages rose rapidly from 2004 to 2007, increasing at a rate of 13% to 19% per year, with average wages reaching near $200 per month in 2007. By 2016, the average monthly wage for workers engaged in manufacturing goods for export was $424. This wage, combined with other costs of doing business in China, had more or less equalized any Chinese cost advantage with respect to developed economies.\n\nThe All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) was established in 1925 to represent the interests of national and local trade unions and trade union councils. The ACFTU reported a membership of 130 million out of an estimated 248 million urban workers at the end of 2002. Chinese trade unions are organized on a broad industrial basis. Membership is open to those who rely on wages for the whole or a large part of their income, a qualification that excludes most agricultural workers.\n\nIn 2010, issues regarding manufacturing wages caused a strike at a Honda parts plant. This resulted in wage increases both at the struck plant and other industrial plants. The 2010 census found that China was now half urban and rapidly aging due to the one-child policy. This demographic shift is expected to lead to increased demand for labor to care for an elderly population and a reduced supply of migrant labor from the countryside.\n\nDue to worsening pollution, corruption, political uncertainties of the one-party state, and limited economic freedom in an economy dominated by large state-owned enterprises, many skilled professionals are either leaving the country or preparing safety nets for themselves abroad.

Regardless, the transportation infrastructure is still not fully developed in many aspects and areas, and it constitutes a major hindrance on economic growth and the efficient logistical movement of goods and people. China's transportation policy, influenced by political, military, and economic concerns, has undergone major changes since 1949.\n\nImmediately after the People's Republic was founded, the primary goal was to repair existing transportation infrastructure in order to meet military transport and logistics needs as well as to strengthen territorial integrity. During most of the 1950s, new road and rail links were built, while at the same time old ones were improved. During the 1960s much of the improvement of regional transportation became the responsibility of the local governments, and many small railways were constructed. Emphasis was also placed on developing transportation in remote rural, mountainous, and forested areas, in order to integrate poorer regions of the country and to help promote economies of scale in the agricultural sector.\n\nBefore the reform era began in the late 1970s, China's transportation links were mostly concentrated in the coastal areas and access to the inner regions was generally poor. This situation has been improved considerably since then, as railways and highways have been built in the remote and frontier regions of the northwest and southwest. At the same time, the development of international transportation was also pursued, and the scope of ocean shipping was broadened considerably.\n\nFreight haulage is mainly provided by rail transport. The rail sector is monopolized by China Railway, which is controlled by the Ministry of Railways, and there is wide variation in services provided. In late 2007 China became one of the few countries in the world to launch its own indigenously developed high-speed train. As rail capacity is struggling to meet demand for the transport of goods and raw materials such as coal, air routes, roads and waterways are rapidly being developed to provide an increasing proportion of China's overall transportation needs.\n\nSome economic experts have argued that the development gap between China and other emerging economies such as Brazil, Argentina and India can be attributed to a large extent to China's early focus on ambitious infrastructure projects: while China invested roughly 9% of its GDP on infrastructure in the 1990s and 2000s, most emerging economies invested only 2% to 5% of their GDP. This considerable spending gap allowed the Chinese economy to grow at near optimal conditions while many South American economies suffered from various development bottlenecks such as poor transportation networks, aging power grids and mediocre schools.\n\nScience and technology\n\nValue in dollars of high-tech exports by country in 2009—the value of Chinese high-tech exports was more than twice that of any other nation", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5488, "chunk_idx": 27, "raw_sha1": "ee04622c5982b5bd6bcb9180d4368f0cdfd6fa66", "raw_chars": 3326, "clean_chars": 3818, "edit_ratio": 0.624, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Cheap capital access has been a significant driver for Chinese companies. The vast domestic market has helped many of these firms accumulate the financial capital necessary for mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Additionally, the Chinese government provides long-term, low-interest capital to support companies expanding abroad.\n\nM&A also offers a low-risk pathway. By acquiring established companies that already have operations in place, Chinese firms can avoid the risks associated with organic growth failures.\n\nAnother factor is cheap labor. Some companies may relocate parts of their manufacturing from high-labor-cost countries to China to reduce expenses and make their products more price-competitive.\n\nTrade and policy barriers also play a role. Chinese companies in many sectors face quota limitations and high taxes, which can hinder their competitiveness in foreign markets.\n\nDepressed assets have presented another opportunity. The global economic crisis from 2008 to 2010 created liquidity problems for many Western companies, reducing their market value. Chinese companies viewed this as a prime opportunity to acquire these depressed assets at a discount.

He has asked Dame Christine Beasley, the Chief Nursing Officer, to visit all hospital trusts that still operate mixed-sex wards to monitor the steps they have taken to ensure that male and female patients are not forced to share facilities. Only accident and emergency departments and intensive care units will be permitted to maintain mixed accommodation.\n\nThis move comes nearly two years after the previous Labour government abandoned its promise to end mixed-sex wards, declaring it an \"aspiration that cannot be met.\" Currently, one in ten patients is admitted to a mixed-sex ward, while a third are forced to share bathrooms. Patient charities have campaigned for years to eliminate what they describe as \"undignified\" mixed wards in NHS facilities, citing instances where female patients have been assaulted while sharing facilities with men.\n\nMr. Lansley is reported to believe that in a modern health service, it is unacceptable for patients to be denied the privacy of single-sex wards. He has held several meetings with hospital heads and senior NHS officials and is determined to push forward with the policy as soon as possible. NHS trusts have been warned that they will face fines if they do not eliminate their remaining mixed-sex wards by the end of the year.\n\nHowever, Catherine Murphy of The Patients' Association cautioned that the pledge may be difficult to achieve given the NHS's financial constraints under the government's austerity measures. She stated, \"We would welcome an end to mixed-sex wards – it is an unjust and unfair way to treat our most vulnerable, especially the elderly. But given that each incoming secretary of state has made exactly this same pledge since 1997, we will wait to see if it is more than just rhetoric. Until we see the proof, we will continue to campaign for the end of mixed-sex wards.\"\n\nThe issue has a long political history. Tony Blair fought the 1997 general election on a promise to end mixed-sex wards within two years, and the party included a similar pledge in its 2001 election manifesto. However, in January 2008, Lord Darzi, the former health minister, argued that it was more cost-effective to split wards into single-sex bays rather than dedicating entire units to one gender. He described the provision of separate wards for male and female patients as an \"aspiration that cannot be met.\"\n\nAndy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, dismissed the forthcoming announcement as \"hollow.\" He remarked, \"This is nothing more than an empty gesture. We had a huge drive to abolish mixed-sex wards. They're pretty much gone except in hospitals where the layout makes it impossible.\"\n\nIn addition to ending mixed-sex wards, Mr. Lansley is also keen to encourage hospitals to make greater use of private rooms to tackle infections such as superbugs. He will order NHS staff to ensure that at least half of the beds in new wards are located in single rooms, a measure intended to slow the spread of hospital-acquired infections while providing patients with greater privacy.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5531, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "2b3360ac341027939b5aa4a53f9736fa734f40e4", "raw_chars": 1567, "clean_chars": 1567, "edit_ratio": 0.0013, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"We had no other option, because we were on the starboard side, the sinking side of the ship,\" he tells McKeown. \"We were forced to go; otherwise we would have died.\"\n\nTo be sure, suspicions about Schettino's actions that night remain, and the fifth estate talked with survivors such as Laurence and Andrea Davis, who live in Calgary.\n\nTo swim or not?\n\n\"I saw too many bad things happen to panicking people,\" Laurence Davis says. \"They were getting hurt, injured, people falling between lifeboats.\"\n\nWith lifeboats either full or gone, the Davises were faced with the decision whether or not to jump into the cold water.\n\n\"During all these emotions, I never did think we were going to die until I was standing on that deck and the water started coming over my feet,\" Davis says.\n\n\"That was the first time I said to myself, this is the end.

Warriors fans focused primarily on Curry’s place in the scheme of things will not be surprised by Beck’s appraisal. \"Generation Steph\" is what Beck called this age of young players trying to reach the NBA.\n\nStephen Curry won’t stop adding to his unbelievable record. Coaches everywhere are managing a new challenge: a millennial army of aspiring Stephs, Beck wrote. Curry told Beck about the myriad of videos sent to his social media accounts by proud parents and youth coaches, featuring shots kids hit from 30 feet or half court. \"Somebody will hit a deep three, and they’ll tag me in it, saying, 'Such and such did his best Steph Curry impersonation,'\" Curry said. \"Just random people from all over the country — all over the world.\"\n\nBe Like Mike has turned into Shoot Like Steph. \"I hear it a lot,\" Curry said. \"It’s pretty special.\"\n\nFormer NBA player Penny Hardaway, now a high school coach, has reportedly had to admonish his players more than once for launching from 30 feet, like a band of mini-Steph Currys. \"They’re just not making as many as Steph,\" Hardaway said. \"They’ll just say, 'I can really shoot them!' And I’ll go, 'Yeah, well prove it to me. If you prove it to me, then you have that right.' They want to be Kyrie [Irving] and Steph, for sure.\"\n\nCurry wants those kids to work on more than their shooting skills. \"Hopefully, it inspires them to work on their game and not just try to go out and do the stuff that I do,\" Curry said. \"Because I want them to know how much time I put into it.\"\n\nWhile future players continue to work toward the NBA, current stars are more free than ever before from comparisons to Jordan. Instead, they can forge their own identities. \"Russ Westbrook is just Russ Westbrook, Steph is just Steph, and the quest to reincarnate MJ is mercifully over,\" Beck wrote.\n\nCurry was not among those who wanted to be like MJ. He recalled, at age 10, seeing Jordan win his sixth NBA championship: \"I didn’t really appreciate what I was watching.\" Not surprisingly, Curry’s favorite player at the time was not MJ but a current Warriors adviser. \"I was actually a Steve Nash guy,\" Curry said.\n\nAnd now, so many kids are Steph Curry guys.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5537, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9e331cf798b279a2881b1d2e96d14dd687f81502", "raw_chars": 3247, "clean_chars": 3230, "edit_ratio": 0.2182, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Note to readers: This post was written in September 2012. Please do not ask why I eat certain foods or avoid others, as what is shown here does not necessarily reflect my current diet or how you should eat. My diet evolves constantly due to ongoing tweaking and self-experimentation. I will share updates occasionally, but food is not the primary focus of this blog. I ask that you refrain from asking questions about my diet in the comments.\n\nFor reasons I do not fully understand, the most-read post on this blog is one I wrote quickly and with little thought. It was a response to a question I am asked frequently: \"What do you actually eat?\" The post, aptly titled \"What I Actually Eat,\" receives more than twice the traffic of the next three most-read posts combined. Go figure.\n\nAfter a full year in strict nutritional ketosis—meaning no \"cheat\" days—I wanted to experiment with other eating patterns. I had been reading about intermittent fasting (IF) and had several discussions with Mark Sisson and Robb Wolf about it. Although I did not know Brad Pilon or Martin Berkhan personally, I had read some interesting things they had written.\n\nWhy the change?\n\nMy curiosity was sufficiently piqued to break a golden rule: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.\n\nI was very happy after a year of nutritional ketosis, but I wondered if I could improve on a few things. For starters, as my cycling season was about to ramp up, I wondered what it would be like to weigh 75 kilograms (165 pounds) instead of my steady-state weight of about 78 kilograms (172 pounds). I know 3 kilograms does not sound like a lot, but it can make a huge difference when riding up Mount Palomar, assuming one can preserve power output. I also liked the idea of not spending so much time eating. As you probably know, I am pretty obsessive about how I utilize the 168 hours in each week and resent anything that takes me away from my family, my work, and my training. (This includes sleep, which I wish I could figure out a way to thrive without.)\n\nIn the end, I think Mark Sisson finally just egged me on enough to agree to at least give it a try—even just one day per week. And with that, I embarked on the next phase of my nutritional odyssey.\n\nI decided, in early May, to start with the following protocol: one meal per 24 hours, twice a week. On the other five days, I consumed my usual keto diet. On the two IF days, I would eat one meal at around dinner time. I still consumed normal amounts of liquids (water, coffee, tea) and supplements (see list below), with one exception: on fasting days, I doubled the amount of sodium I supplemented via bouillon from 2 grams per day to 4 grams per day.\n\nLike all nutritional changes, this one took some getting used to. Because I exercise in the mornings, on fasting days I would get pretty hungry by about 10 or 11 a.m. Interestingly, though, by about 2 p.m., as my blood glucose levels would be between 60 and 70 mg/dL, I would start to feel completely fine. In fact, by about 5 or 6 p.m., just before eating my meal, I found I wasn't really hungry. This may have been due to the fact that my beta-hydroxybutyrate (B-OHB) levels were usually above 3 millimolar by this time of day.\n\nWhy do I call it \"IFIK?\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5536, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8bbf6b265d98178b3ce545235bf0044beceb5ffd", "raw_chars": 3387, "clean_chars": 3358, "edit_ratio": 0.0337, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We decided to conduct our own original poll of several hundred members of the American Political Science Association regarding presidential greatness and President Obama’s current place in history. The results of our survey of political scientists with expertise in the American presidency include findings similar to other such polls and some intriguing new evidence.\n\nFirst, President Obama ranks 18th overall, but beneath the surface of the aggregate figures lurks evidence of significant ambivalence. For example, those who view Obama as one of the worst American presidents outnumber those who view him as one of the best by nearly a 3-to-1 margin. Similarly, nearly twice as many respondents view Obama as overrated than do those who consider him underrated. One area where there is significant expert consensus about the president, however, concerns how polarizing he is viewed as being; only George W. Bush was viewed as a more polarizing president.\n\nNext, Obama does not perform well on more specific dimensions of presidential greatness, often viewed as average or worse. For example, he is the midpoint in terms of both personal integrity and military skill, ranking 10th of 19 in both categories, but falls to 11th when it comes to diplomatic skill and 13th with respect to legislative skill. Even so, when asked which president should be added as the fifth face of Mount Rushmore, Obama ties with James Madison as the 7th most popular choice.\n\nWhat can we take away from this? First, it is easy to infer that scholars and the public alike expected greatness from Obama early on and awarded it to him prematurely. Compare, after all, the fact that Obama’s first ranking in a major greatness poll was at number 15; one must go back a half-century to Lyndon Johnson to find a president who entered the rankings at a higher number, which was number 10, and LBJ was a well-known figure on the national stage who entered office after the national tragedy of his predecessor’s assassination. Second, scholars seem to hold Barack Obama in high regard personally, but view his skills and performance as mediocre to poor. Few think of Obama as an excellent president, while many more rate his presidency quite low, with the bulk of experts appearing to give him a passing grade but not one that would get him on the Dean’s list.\n\nIt could be worse for Obama, of course. Barring unforeseen scandal, he is unlikely to become significantly less popular, and as he enters his post-presidency, he is likely to experience the same slow rise up the greatness polls that George W. Bush has had. Whether that is a sluggish climb or more noteworthy, as the case has been with Truman and George H.W. Bush, remains to be seen, but there is still plenty of time left in his presidency to lay the foundation for future claims on the empty spot to the right of Lincoln on Mount Rushmore’s granite façade.\n\nAbout the survey: 391 members of the American Political Science Association’s Presidents & Executive Politics section, the premier organization of experts of the American presidency, were invited to complete the online survey, which was administered by Brandon Rottinghaus of the University of Houston and Justin S.

In Bethlehem, a woman stands on the roof of her two-story building, her home now surrounded by the wall from all directions. The Israeli military has prohibited her from accessing it, stating that she now requires a permit to enter her own property.\n\nAnother resident, a medical doctor born in Jerusalem, practiced medicine there for 15 years. For the past five years, however, she has been forbidden from entering the city, much like most Palestinians, even with a permit. She describes the situation as horrifying, noting that West Bank husbands and Jerusalem wives can no longer live together in the city. If she stays in her husband's residence, she risks losing her Jerusalem citizenship.\n\nThe text questions the definition of apartheid, describing it as a system where two different sets of laws apply to two different groups of people living in the same area. It contrasts this with the treatment of Jews from places like Brooklyn or Siberia, who receive immediate Israeli citizenship upon arrival and can live anywhere in Israel, the West Bank, or Jerusalem settlements. The author argues that if this disparity is not apartheid, it is difficult to define what is.\n\nThe passage claims that these current horrors negate the historical suffering of Jews at the hands of the Nazis, during Russian pogroms, the Inquisition, and other periods. It asserts that before 1948, Palestine served as a safe haven for Jews who lived peacefully with Muslims and Christians in harmony, before Zionist movements sought exclusive control over the land.\n\nAccording to the text, trouble began and never ended. Gaza is described as being repressively besieged, while West Bank Palestinians and Jerusalemites are virtually imprisoned by the wall, checkpoints, permit restrictions, and total military control. The author characterizes this as a free and open system for Jews, but an apartheid one for Palestinians, denying them rights through wars, daily violence, home demolitions, land seizures, dispossession, mass arrests, torture, and death.\n\nThe struggle is not between two equal sides, the author argues. It is a struggle between an oppressor and the oppressed, between the culture of power and the power of culture, vision, values, and humanity. Nonviolence does not mean a lack of struggle; rather, it means struggling for one's rights without giving in or giving up one's dignity, even in the most difficult times. The text asserts that while oppressors can imprison, torture, or shoot people, they cannot take away dignity or determination. The spirit of resilience defies oppression, occupation, and injustice, and cannot be destroyed by Israeli might. The passage concludes with a call to action: \"Please don't be silent.

It is #RealMusic unless you are Zayn, featuring the heaviest guitar riff on their album Four, pounding and insistent drums, and lyrics filled with a desperation that is equal parts frantic and honest. Harry Styles delivers the song with frenzied vocal intensity, starting off roaring, a mess of limbs and wild eyes. He sings, \"I know you said that you don't like it complicated / That we should try to keep it simple / But love is never, ever simple.\" Watching Harry is like staring at not only God but also Jesus. He is a heavenly disaster, possessing the jolting physical movements of a corpse that fell onto some misplaced electrical wires. More on this later.\n\nAfter rushing through the more '80s-leaning tracks in their discography, including the Journey-inspired \"Steal My Girl,\" the hair metal-lite \"Little Black Dress,\" the dad-rock-esque \"Where Do Broken Hearts Go,\" and the pop-punk reject \"Midnight Memories,\" they move on to the forgettable \"Ready to Run.\" This song would have fit more appropriately on the soundtrack for the animated horse movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, which few people have seen.\n\nThe track falls kind of flat on its own, but \"100% not gay\" member Liam Payne really enjoys it. It is one of his favorite songs, he says. I believe him, though I suspect One Direction is lying about many things, their \"hiatus\" included. But Liam tries so hard. He is a never-ending sugar cube, so sweet that I was so close to him that I feel I have diabetes now. Some of One Direction's more world-weary, jaded fans can practically taste his desperate, palpable need to please. However, Liam is the most competent vocalist in the group by far, serving Mariah-style vocal runs with an ease unmatched by the other three.\n\nIt was humid that night, so Liam changed his shirt four times. Louis changed clothes once. Harry and Niall chose to marinate in their own sweat. All of these wardrobe changes took place offstage, of course, because as overtly sexual as Harry tends to be onstage, the majority of the group's shtick remains mostly chaste. I appreciated this, because if any of them had exposed naked flesh to the hoards of hormone-fueled fans around me, I am certain I would have been mauled to death in the ensuing stampede. There is a certain electricity in the air at a One Direction concert, like every moment may be met with a fiery end.\n\nLouis Tomlinson sang wildly off-key half the time, but he shined on \"No Control,\" a misguided fan favorite whose worth can be found solely in the following Vine.\n\nLouis' high-pitched voice can be a tad harsh for One Direction's bubblegum pop music, their more folky tracks, and their ballads. Maybe he would find his niche in a brash pop-punk band.

If anyone is the JT of the group, it's Harry. You know it, I know it, Louis knows it.\n\nBut Harry is also the gentlest giant, a lumbering loaf of a man who throws bananas to fans claiming low blood sugar. He dumps bottles of water on others, sometimes he blows kisses, he smirks. These are all basic things, but find yourself on the receiving end of a piercing stare from Harry Styles and you will lose your dignity, and certainly your words -- I know I did.\n\nTracks from One Direction's magnum opus, the pop masterpiece that is Take Me Home, are largely absent from their current setlist, and that's a shame. From it, they kept only \"Kiss You\" and the Ed Sheeran reject \"Little Things,\" opting instead to fill their 90-minute set with the songs they have to play (\"What Makes You Beautiful,\" \"You & I\"), songs they want to play (\"Through The Dark,\" \"Story of My Life,\" \"Little White Lies\") and weird songs -- like the Irish-inflected jaunt, \"Act My Age.\" You can practically hear Zayn choosing to quit the band on the studio version of this track.\n\nStill, \"Act My Age\" is a fun song, and it works even though it shouldn't. They all really come to life at this point in the set, like they're so many Michael Flatleys: Lord of the Dance. But it's here when you're reminded that One Direction may break up, and that they somehow became famous enough for it to affect you in the first place. This goofy throwaway drinking song, tossed haphazardly into their encore, proved to be a sobering, bittersweet moment of realization. The past three-and-a-half years I've spent living my One Direction truth -- forging tight bonds with other fans, landing myself this very editorial job through a fan I met along the way -- could soon be over. I might finally regain some autonomy over my life, but at what cost?\n\nOne Direction is set to play their final show on U.S. soil tomorrow night (September 12), and there's no telling how long it'll be until they return, if they do at all. This is all going to end soon, this glorious mess of a machine that fans have spent so much time, energy and money on loving. One Direction could never truly be the best at what they do, not after being pounded tirelessly into the Earth by their label and coming out the other side barely alive.\n\nBut \"Best Song Ever\" provides a fitting soundtrack for the way it all should end (their set and otherwise): \"And we danced all night to the best song ever / We knew every line / Now I can't remember how it goes / But I know that I won't forget her / 'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever.\" Juvenile lyrics, sure. But One Direction have always been about feeling first; specifics don't matter as much.\n\nMost of the general public wishes One Direction would launch themselves somewhere well beyond Pluto’s icy atmosphere, and they did, sort of.

To balance concerns from high-level players, Piranha Games has given third-person players an easily spotted camera-bot and disabled their minimaps. As a newer player, I usually stick with first-person because the minimap is too valuable to lose, and honestly, it feels like the mode MechWarrior Online was meant to be played in. If there is an advantage to the third-person perspective in battle, it is subtle.\n\nAlmost more fun than combat itself is the process of buying and building up your own stable of mechs, all of which are graphically gorgeous. Fortunately, when you first start MechWarrior Online, you receive a currency boost that allows you to rack up in-game cash quickly. It is a lot of fun saving up for a mech you want and customizing it with a broad selection of weaponry, such as gauss rifles, lasers, and long-range missiles. Your mech build is far more involved than the simple loadouts found in typical shooters, and this is where half of the strategy in MechWarrior Online comes in. You must figure out which weapon configurations work best with your mech and your playstyle, and then learn how to use them effectively in combat. The system felt overwhelming initially, but over time, I was able to deduce what works and what does not through a process of many, many deaths. Personally, I prefer catapult-type launchers that siege enemies from afar, rather than up-close brawlers, whose combat style results in my destruction more often than not.\n\nIt is also where the reminder that MechWarrior Online is a free-to-play game comes in. When you are buying and building, it becomes apparent that certain machines are locked behind a paywall, though it is not necessarily \"pay to win.\" The premium mechs, which cost anywhere from $7 to $30 each, look cooler than the others and offer experience point and cash bonuses. However, you can buy other machines of comparable power with earned in-game currency if you save up long enough and choose your upgrades intelligently. It is commendable that Piranha Games has allowed players to build up competitive-quality mechs without paying. Still, it is frustrating that some of the high-end mechs are only available through real-money purchases, and the freemium content can be a bit in-your-face at times.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5568, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "1cbeeeb028d23ce494a229c4f5e9ae3bafbb9480", "raw_chars": 3471, "clean_chars": 3517, "edit_ratio": 0.1445, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "According to the Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa, there have been 2,863 farm attacks and 1,592 farm murders since 1990, while independent think tanks estimate the true number of farmers murdered to be closer to 3,000. It is now twice as dangerous to be a farmer as it is to be a police officer in South Africa, according to Johan Burger, a senior researcher with the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies' crime and justice programme. Last year, the country had a murder rate of 31.9 per 100,000 people, almost 30 times higher than Britain, according to police statistics. For police officers, this rate rises to 51, and among farmers, it reaches a staggering 99 per 100,000.\n\nWhat troubles many South Africans is the horrific and unnecessary violence that is a grim hallmark of farm attacks, which are ostensibly staged to steal money. Some blame this violence on resentment at the yawning gap between rich and poor, 40 percent unemployment in some rural areas, and the legacy of ill feeling bequeathed by the former apartheid system.\n\nErnst Roets, deputy CEO of the Afrikaner civil rights group AfriForum and an organizer of the campaign, complained that the government had tried to declare the march an illegal gathering. \"They are taking active steps to stop us from speaking out about the problem,\" he said.\n\nThe police minister was not in his offices on Saturday to receive the memorandum. Instead, a spokesman, Zweli Mnisi, accused AfriForum of \"grandstanding.\" Mr. Mnisi said, \"They are only representing people based on their colour. For us, racialising crime is problematic. You can't have a separate category that says farmers are the special golden boys and girls. You end up saying the life of a white person is more important. You cannot do this.\"\n\nSouth African farms are still overwhelmingly owned by whites, mostly Afrikaners, who are descended from the country's first Dutch settlers and speak their own language. The government's efforts to encourage a gentle method of land reform, known as \"willing buyer, willing seller,\" have been a flop, especially in stark contrast to the state-sponsored violent takeovers in neighbouring Zimbabwe.\n\nProfessor Burger rejects claims by some in the Afrikaans farming community that the attacks amount to a genocide on white farmers. He said there is also no evidence of political involvement in the attacks. \"The perception is that farmers are all rich, and these criminals know the vulnerability of these remote farms, and so they see it as relatively low risk,\" he said.\n\nHowever, he added, in some attacks the perpetrators \"take out their hatred for all those past wrongs, and show who's in control now.\" Farmers claim their attackers are stirred by the old black struggle song \"Shoot the Boer,\" the subject of a court case on hate speech brought against the former African National Congress party youth leader Julius Malema after he took to singing it at rallies.\n\nAmong those on the march was Magda Pistorius, 53, who still grieves for her husband Wybrand, killed in an attack in June of last year. The couple were asleep at their new home on a smallholding in Muldersdrift, near Johannesburg, which they had moved into just 12 hours earlier, when they awoke at 3:50 a.m. to find two men standing over the bed. One of the men said, \"Hello, boss,\" and then shot and killed Mr. Pistorius, 53, before shooting his wife in the stomach. Their daughters were also at home but unharmed.

Dr. Tobias Lock, a lecturer in European Union law at the University of Edinburgh, and Dr. Kirsty Hughes, a senior fellow at the Friends of Europe think tank in Brussels, presented their analysis in a new report. They argue that a combination of political goodwill and Scotland's existing compliance with many membership criteria could facilitate a swift accession.\n\nThe academics note that while the EU's stance was negative and discouraging during the 2014 independence referendum, the atmosphere has shifted. Since Scotland voted to remain in the EU while the rest of the UK prepared to leave, there is now considerable political goodwill toward Scotland in EU capitals. This goodwill, they suggest, could lead to efforts to fast-track Scotland's membership application.\n\nAccording to their timeline, if Scotland were to vote for independence in a second referendum in the autumn of 2018, it could become an independent nation in 2020. Following the UK's departure from the EU in March 2019, Scotland would apply for membership in 2020. Negotiations could begin in 2021, with the country potentially joining the EU by 2023 or 2024, depending on how quickly the application is processed. Former First Minister Alex Salmond has also predicted that a referendum would be held in the autumn of 2018.\n\nThe report addresses concerns about a potential Spanish veto, arguing that it is not obvious the Spanish government would block Scotland's bid, despite worries that it might encourage the Catalan independence movement. Key issues in the negotiations would include Scotland's budget contribution, participation in the Schengen Area, justice and home affairs, and the adoption of the euro. The academics claim that Scotland would likely have to commit to joining the euro but could, like Sweden, continually postpone its entry into the single currency.\n\nAdam Tomkins, the Scottish Conservative constitution spokesman, criticized the optimistic outlook. He stated that the issue is not about mood or goodwill but about hard legal and political realities. Tomkins argued that the question is not whether a separate Scotland would be granted EU membership, but on what terms. He noted that Scotland could not assume it would retain the unique terms of the UK's membership, such as opt-outs.

But if we have learned to rest in nowness and have realized our true nature, which is awake, then what continues is awareness, and we have some choice about what happens.\n\nJust as, when meditating, one can experience the continuity of discontinuity, or impermanence, directly, so it is possible, if one is aware and present at the moment of death, to understand what is happening, to rest in that basic nature which is not different from that of the universe, and thus short-circuit the karmic cycle. However, as Trungpa Rinpoche said in a 1972 seminar in Barnet, \"The basic impact of the experience is the same whether you believe in reincarnation or not: it is the discontinuity of what you are doing.\" Life as we know it stops.\n\nThe Buddha's final instruction to his followers before he died was that they should diligently work out their own liberation. In the 2500 years since then, Buddhists have sought to follow that advice in ways as diverse as the cultures into which Buddhism has spread, such as India, China, Japan, Tibet, and Southeast Asia. Now these ancient teachings, transplanted again, flourish in the Northeast Kingdom; it was these teachings that I found myself remembering as I flew west.\n\nIt is hard to let go of what we love. It is hard to live with uncertainty. Yet we have no real choice if we are to face reality, for we will inevitably let go of all that we love, including our bodies, and the time when that will happen is uncertain. Whether my mother believed in heaven or reincarnation, I do not know. What I do know is that she recognized what was happening to her and she was ready for it. Talking, on the day before she died, to my sister whose five-month-old baby was the joy of her last days, my mother said, \"I kind of hoped we'd have a little more time, but I guess we just get greedy.\"\n\nIf we learn to let go into uncertainty, to trust that our basic nature and that of the world are not different, then the fact that things are not solid and fixed becomes, rather than a threat, a liberating opportunity. Then we are free to savor what life offers, to taste the texture of each moment fully, whether the moment is one of sadness or joy. There is a story of an awakened person who, chased off a cliff by a ravenous tiger, saved himself from immediately falling by clutching on to a cherry tree that had taken root on the side of the rocky precipice.

Alexander Naydenov, co-founder of PaperHive, explores how this web platform could transform reading into a more social and active process of collaboration. Currently, close to 1.2 million academic articles and books can be read and discussed using PaperHive. The platform enables contextual and structured discussions in real time, with comments that are persistent, shareable, and capable of becoming part of the academic literature.\n\nResearchers typically spend 12 to 25 hours a week reading, depending on their discipline. Yet, understanding research articles and books—some of the most complex documents in the world—is difficult and inefficient when done in isolation. Students and inexperienced researchers waste time trying to decipher these texts alone, while senior researchers often dig through folders of articles irrelevant to their own work. At some point, everyone risks unknowingly repeating others' mistakes or including them as citations in their own papers.\n\nThere have been incredible innovations in the field of scholarly communication over the last decade, often inspired by technological and social trends outside academia, such as social networks, collaborative writing tools, and various field-specific instruments for increased productivity. However, reading has mostly remained an uncooperative activity.\n\nStartups, innovators, and publishers have focused on fostering social sharing and discovery assisted by recommendation algorithms. University libraries have not been inactive in their attempts to support a more diverse user base, which now largely consists of digital natives, but their efforts to do more with existing content are still futile, as noted in the Outsell Library report \"2016 Library Market Size, Share, Forecast, and Trends.\" While programmers have Stack Overflow as a go-to place for even some of the most specific questions, research questions related to a particular academic paper often remain unanswered in the author's mailbox or have to be answered again and again.\n\nDr. André Gaul, co-founder of PaperHive, notes, \"It is very frustrating to realise you wasted a lot of time rediscovering results, references, or even mistakes that others found before—just because the relevant information is buried in a giant pile of sticky notes on someone else's desk.\" As a developer and open-source activist since the late 1990s, André began working on a solution to this problem after finishing his mathematics PhD at the Technical University of Berlin.\n\nCollaborative Reading\n\nPaperHive is a cross-publisher layer of interaction on top of research documents that enables contextual and structured discussions in real time. The web platform transforms reading into an active process of collaboration.\n\nResearchers and students can attach questions, opinions, formulas, and figures directly in the margin of the original text, where everyone can benefit from their contributions.

These three musicians have firmly established themselves in the J-Rock and anime worlds, and there are no signs of them slowing down.

Shortly after that, the band was renamed Stereopony. What was the reason behind that change?\n\nStereopony: When we were writing our first song, there was another band called MIXBOX. To distinguish ourselves and become a single band, we changed our name to Stereopony.\n\nInterviewer: What was your journey to fame like? What has been the biggest challenge for the band?\n\nStereopony: I wouldn't consider ourselves famous yet. As for challenges, because we debuted while in high school, balancing music and studying was difficult.\n\nInterviewer: How do the other members feel about this? Do they have a different perspective?\n\nNohana: I didn't really have a chance to play with my schoolmates, so I feel like I missed out on a typical childhood.\n\nShiho: I feel exactly the same way.\n\nInterviewer: What are some of your favorite moments?\n\nShiho: When we are performing live or simply having the most fun.\n\nAimi: When we were still aiming for our big debut, we rarely had a chance to play with our high school friends. However, when we finally debuted, our classmates gave us a big cake and said, \"Congratulations!\" We were really happy about that.\n\nNohana: Being able to meet all of our fans who cheer for us.\n\nInterviewer: How has your music evolved since you started as the four-member band MIXBOX up to your latest single?\n\nStereopony: The events that have affected our music the most are the experiences we have gone through in our lives, including high school graduation, debuting, and moving to Tokyo.\n\nInterviewer: You recently finished your first concert in Seattle. How did it feel?\n\nStereopony: It was really exciting. I know that many fans were probably seeing us for the first time since this was our first time on the West Coast. I was really happy to see people stay from the beginning to the end of the concert. It was great to see people's smiling faces.\n\nInterviewer: How did your expectations after the concert compare to your expectations before arriving in Seattle?\n\nStereopony: It was even more fun than we had expected.\n\nInterviewer: What are some of the factors or influences in choosing which songs to perform during your live shows?\n\nStereopony: It depends on the location and where we are performing.

It will be something you will have to look up in an early 20th-century dictionary.\" If that prediction came true over the past decade, it was only in the superficial \"we are all middle class now\" sense associated with New Labour, rather than in the actual elimination of menial work or the divide between workers and owners.\n\nSurveys have long shown that most workers believe their jobs are pointless. Looking at the heavily contested vacancies at average job centers—call center staff, filing clerks, and above all, the various tasks of the service industry—it is hard to disagree.\n\nYet the utopian vision of the elimination of industrial labor has, in many ways, come to pass. Over the past decade, Sheffield steelworks produced more steel than ever before with a tiny fraction of their former workforce. Similarly, the container ports of Avonmouth, Tilbury, Teesport, and Southampton got rid of most of the dockers, but not the tonnage.\n\nThe result was not that dockers or steelworkers were free to, as Marx once put it, \"hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon and criticise after dinner.\" Instead, they were subjected to shame, poverty, and the endless worry over finding another job, which, if it arrived, might be insecure, poorly paid, un-unionized work in the service industry. In the current era of casualization, that is practically the norm, so the idea of skilled, secure labor and pride in work doesn't seem quite so awful.

He expressed regret that the occupants did not accept the offer from the Volksbühne, which he believed would have allowed them to coexist without disrupting the work of the theater's artists. He emphasized that the debate about displacement and defending freedom would continue, but reiterated that the Volksbühne was and remains a public cultural institution belonging to all Berliners. He stated that it could continue to serve as a place for urban and social discourse, provided this was not conducted in a manner that employees viewed as unfriendly or a hostile takeover.\n\nBy the time news of Dust to Glitter’s eviction spread on social media Thursday afternoon—largely via the Dust to Glitter Twitter account (@VB_6112)—activists associated with the occupation called for solidarity and urged people to assemble on the lawn in front of the Volksbühne for a plenary. They remained throughout the afternoon and into the evening.\n\nNews of the eviction brought widespread condemnation from artists and activists on social media, who also criticized Dercon for filing a criminal complaint against the occupiers. By late Thursday afternoon, an open letter began circulating online in support of Dust to Glitter, collectively authored by cultural workers in Berlin. One of the authors, Ivor Stodolosky, wrote: “Dialogue is at the core of Berlin’s post-war culture. If the art world is to be more than an entertainment industry backed by a police force, Dercon needs to talk. By letting violence talk, he is losing all credibility.”\n\nIn response, the Volksbühne issued a press release quoting Dercon, who said in part: “Our offer from Tuesday until now to use the Green Salon and the Pavilion was rebuked … . Tomorrow we will try again.” As darkness fell over the German capital, Dust to Glitter activists remained on the lawn in front of the Volksbühne, surrounded by a significant police presence. For now, calm seems to have taken hold on both sides. Only time will tell whether plans to de-gentrify the theater will lead to more negotiations or friction between theater staff and activists.\n\nIronically, in 2014, Dercon was part of the jury that awarded Teatro Valle, an occupied theater in Rome, the European Cultural Foundation’s Princess Margriet Award. “For many countries, these new models of cultural collaboration and, not to forget self-organization, are ways to lead us out of the mess,” he said in a statement at the time. “The future of cultural institutions and cultural makers will be determined by these initiatives, and the question of the commons, which has political questions beyond art, is a very important message of solidarity.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5644, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "135cf87c4aa4b8c9b9a9577e2ba874cb9004da3d", "raw_chars": 1087, "clean_chars": 1270, "edit_ratio": 0.1846, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A lobbyist for the National Rifle Association dismissed the push for stricter gun control as part of the \"Connecticut effect,\" a strategy designed to delay the gun lobby's agenda until it can \"go through the process.\"\n\nBob Welch, a lobbyist representing the Wisconsin NRA, told the Wisconsin NRA State Association that while the organization has a strong agenda for the coming year, much of it will be delayed as the \"Connecticut effect\" plays out. \"We have a strong agenda coming up for next year, but of course a lot of that’s going to be sort of delayed as the 'Connecticut effect' has to sort of go through the process,\" Welch said.\n\nWelch continued, highlighting what he described as a telling dynamic: \"What’s even more telling is the people who don’t like guns pretty much realize that they can’t do a thing unless they talk to us.

Research is showing the effect of human interaction with the world's largest primates.\n\nThey are the world's largest primates, yet the constant threat of poaching, deforestation, and human diseases means that soon the world's mountain gorillas could be completely wiped out. Living in the dense forests of Central Africa—in the Virunga Mountains spanning Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda—the critically endangered gorillas face an uncertain future. There are only 880 mountain gorillas left in the world, according to recent census data.\n\nOn a mission to protect the primates from extinction is Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, a leading Ugandan scientist and advocate for species conservation in Bwindi, a World Heritage Site and home to nearly half of the world's mountain gorilla population. One of Africa's premier conservationists, Kalema-Zikusoka has been working tirelessly for some two decades to create an environment where gorillas and people can coexist safely in an area with one of the highest rural human population densities on the continent.\n\nCan gorillas catch a cold?\n\nWhen Kalema-Zikusoka first started working in Bwindi back in 1994, gorilla tourism was in its infancy and starting to become a strong financial resource for the local economy. With mountain gorillas sharing over 98% of the same genetic material as humans, Kalema-Zikusoka decided to analyze how increased human interaction could affect the primates.\n\n\"I could see what tourism was doing for the gorillas—both the good and the bad,\" she says. \"And of course I realized how the communities were benefiting a lot because they are really poor and gorilla tourism is helping to lift them out of poverty,\" adds Kalema-Zikusoka.\n\n\"My research at the time was looking at the parasites in the gorilla dung, and I found that those visited by tourists have a higher parasite load than those that were not,\" she explains. \"We can easily give them diseases, and that's always a bad thing.\"\n\nFast forward two decades, and the leading veterinarian is now the founder and CEO of the non-profit group Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH), continuing her goals of protecting gorillas and other wildlife from disease.\n\n\"Our current research is focused on disease transmission between people and the gorillas,\" she says. \"We analyze fecal samples from gorillas regularly, at least once a month from the habituated groups that we can get close enough to, to try and see if they are picking anything from the livestock or from the people they interact with.

County aides and law enforcement officials presented numerous aerial photographs of reported grow sites, including open spaces near Rio Linda High School and the Cherry Island Soccer Complex.\n\n\"We've seen a profusion—an explosion—of marijuana grows,\" Jones said.\n\nThe new restrictions would apply to unincorporated Sacramento County and are likely to take effect in mid-June. The city of Sacramento already bans outdoor cultivation in residential areas, while Elk Grove prohibits all outdoor marijuana growth.\n\nSome advocates for medical marijuana argued on Tuesday that law enforcement overstated the risks associated with marijuana cultivation, though others expressed sympathy with the county's concerns regarding large grow sites. They urged the supervisors to preserve the ability of patients to grow plants for personal use. In response, the supervisors asked county staff to return on May 28 with proposed restrictions for indoor marijuana grows, specifically limited to medical use.\n\nLocal governments have moved quickly to regulate cultivation following a favorable state court ruling in November that upheld their ability to ban cultivation despite the state's 1996 initiative legalizing marijuana for medical use. The ruling by the Sacramento-based 3rd District Court of Appeal, which upheld a ban in the city of Live Oak, paved the way for similar ordinances across California. Most bans have focused on outdoor cultivation, while Fresno County has gone the furthest by prohibiting both outdoor and indoor medical marijuana grows, according to the California chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.\n\nSacramento County Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan introduced separate indoor and outdoor ordinances on Tuesday to ban marijuana crops, citing numerous complaints from residents. She noted that, in addition to safety and quality-of-life issues, marijuana grows create undue demands on the environment, including high water use during a drought.\n\nThe supervisors unanimously approved the ban on outdoor cultivation. However, MacGlashan stated that she agreed to continue the discussion on the indoor ordinance because she believes a majority of board members prefer regulation over an outright ban, even though she does not share that view.\n\nThe board effectively banned medical marijuana dispensaries in 2011 after as many as 99 such establishments had opened in the unincorporated county.\n\nJones noted that the nebulous nature of state and federal laws makes the prosecution of marijuana cultivation difficult.

Some studies suggest that, in general, women earn less than men for doing the same jobs; the Census Bureau concludes that women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn. This national trend extends to professional sports. According to Forbes, the maximum salary for a player in the WNBA is $107,000, compared with the $30.5 million Kobe Bryant will make. Inbee Park, who won the 2013 U.S. Open in golf, received $585,000 for her victory, while Justin Rose, the men's winner, received $1.4 million. This disparity is seen less in tennis because Wimbledon, the French Open, and the U.S. Open all pay male and female winners equally, which is why seven of the ten top-paid female athletes in the world are tennis players.\n\nThis discrepancy extends to coaching as well. For Division I college sports, men get paid significantly more. Male basketball head coaches averaged $71,511, while female coaches averaged $39,177. Even in gymnastics, which is predominantly female, male coaches are paid more. This doesn't even address the fact that there are more opportunities for males than females to play sports, both as amateurs and as professionals.\n\nMany will argue that the pay difference is the result of free-market supply and demand. More people want to see men play professional basketball than want to see women play, so the players are paid accordingly. You can't argue with economics. There is truth to this. You can't force people to attend a sporting event if they don't want to.\n\nHowever, this is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. We can change things. First, we need to address why they don't want to watch. This goes back to cultural biases. If we don't value girls in sports in middle school and high school, then we don't grow up to value them as professional athletes. And by value, I mean make athletic opportunities available, pay coaches equally, and promote female sports with the same vigor with which we do male sports.\n\nAt the same time, the disrespectful and disparaging language used in sports furthers the gender gap. Male coaches often address their male athletes as \"ladies\" whenever they want to humiliate them. \"Come on, ladies,\" they'll say, \"lift your skirts.\" Or, \"You're playing like a girl!\" This is treated as a joke or good-humored tradition, but its long-term social effect is not funny.

Social Services Minister Scott Morrison has led the charge for a referendum.\n\nAbbott – who only recently said the question was a matter for parliament – said the decision had to be the people’s choice. “This is something that has been the way it currently is for thousands of years, hundreds of years. It’s a very big decision to make a change like this.” He dismissed the substantial cost of a popular vote.\n\nEntsch went ahead with the cross-party bill despite the Coalition partyroom meeting last week deciding against a conscience vote and Abbott having signalled the bill won’t be facilitated to a vote.\n\nThe bill would exempt ministers from marrying same-sex couples if they choose not to do so. But it says it would not be appropriate to extend the right to refuse to perform marriages to civil celebrants.\n\n“Under the Code of Practice for Marriage Celebrants and existing Commonwealth, State and Territory discrimination legislation, authorised celebrants who are not ministers of religion or chaplains cannot unlawfully discriminate on the grounds of race, age or disability.\n\n\"To allow other authorised celebrants to discriminate on the grounds of a person’s sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status would treat one group of people with a characteristic that is protected under discrimination legislation differently from other groups of people with characteristics that are also protected,” the bill’s explanatory memorandum says.\n\nNor would the providers of services be allowed to refuse them to same-sex couples.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5667, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bf0117b9cad199f97acf2e1d144a1fd95d12fe37", "raw_chars": 2966, "clean_chars": 2956, "edit_ratio": 0.5458, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The 'FOX News Medical A-Team' discussed a photograph that gained significant attention online over the weekend. Taken in February, the image showed Hillary Clinton requiring assistance from aides to walk up a set of stairs, fueling broader reports and speculation about her health.\n\nThe photograph, which appeared to show Clinton needing help to climb a flight of stairs during a campaign stop in February, was highlighted by the Drudge Report. The site posted a headline over the weekend detailing Clinton's history of falls and speculating that the former Secretary of State might be suffering from a serious, undisclosed medical condition.\n\nEarlier in the day, we contacted the Clinton campaign for a statement. A spokesman dismissed the Drudge Report as shameful and criticized those who buy into the medical condition speculation. However, the campaign notably omitted any direct statement addressing the health issues themselves.\n\nFOX News' Sean Hannity introduced the photo and the Clinton campaign's response. Dr. Marc Siegel argued that the public has a right to know, speculating on potential issues while focusing on Clinton's previous falls and a concussion she sustained in 2012. \"I think the public has a right to know,\" Siegel said. \"We're talking in 2008, Sean, I looked over a thousand pages of John McCain's records because of a melanoma he had 10 years ago. What about Hillary? In 2009, she had a severe fall and broke her elbow. In 2011, she fell while boarding a plane. In 2012, she suffered a severe concussion, which Bill Clinton says took her six months to recover from. Then she ended up with a blood clot in her brain and a lifetime of blood thinners.\" Siegel continued, \"Just that point alone -- if she's prone to falling, you can see from that picture that it looked like she could barely get upstairs without two people carrying her. Guess what happens if she falls and hits her head? She'll get a blood clot. I want to know what her neurological records show.\"\n\nDr. David Samadi commented on the image, stating, \"The picture going up the stairs speaks a million words. Is she fatigued? Is she dehydrated? One of the main reasons she fell in 2012 and had the concussions was severe dehydration. They're holding her and going up the stairs. So she may be really dehydrated, she may have arthritis, she may have back pain, she may have fallen again. We don't know. There are questions that are unanswered. What we know today is she's on thyroid medication; she suffers from hypothyroidism, low thyroid, which can cause fatigue and weight gain.\"\n\nDr. Siegel added his perspective on potential long-term effects: \"I think a traumatic brain injury with symptoms down the road is very, very likely here, especially since she had a blood clot in her brain. As David mentioned, that could lead to a seizure problem. Someone is carrying a diazepam pen that you'd use in case of a seizure, a Valium pen, that makes me wonder about that.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5679, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "447ab9b5522368ac91df523993b56355b1eaab57", "raw_chars": 3391, "clean_chars": 1893, "edit_ratio": 0.8255, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Former Vice President Al Gore is urging Americans concerned about climate change and considering a third-party presidential candidate to vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton instead.\n\nIn an interview with ThinkProgress, Gore said he understands the \"feelings and misgivings\" of voters turned off by both Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The list was compiled by leading Republican presidential campaigns and attorney Ben Ginsberg, though no campaign has officially signed off on the draft as of yet. The document was obtained by The Washington Post's David Weigel and Robert Costa.\n\nThe format and content of the upcoming Republican debates grew increasingly uncertain on Monday after Donald Trump's campaign announced that the real estate mogul would negotiate his terms directly with television executives, rather than participating in a joint effort with his rivals. This move by Trump, coming just hours after he and other campaigns huddled in a Washington suburb to draft a three-page letter of possible demands, thwarts an effort to find consensus following what most candidates agreed was a debacle hosted by CNBC the previous week.\n\nAs a celebrity billionaire who has been a leading factor in drawing record ratings, Trump has little interest in working to promote the wishes of his opponents, according to his allies. The maneuvering by Trump and the other Republican candidates was met with annoyance by network executives, who stated they have little interest in altering a process they believe was settled months ago.\n\nDuring the third GOP debate, candidates grew feisty with the CNBC moderators, taking aim at the questions asked, the \"mainstream media,\" and the moderators interrupting their answers. \"We agreed to this and now you're saying you're not agreeing?\" asked one executive who requested anonymity to speak candidly. \"Do you want Ben Carson deciding who your moderators are? The answer is no,\" said another. \"Do you want Bobby Jindal's campaign dictating how the debates will be run when Bobby Jindal may not even be in the race much longer?\"\n\nThis consternation marked the latest turn in a debate process that has grown more problematic by the day. Officials with the Republican National Committee took control of the process for the 2016 presidential election after a long and eventful debate season that many in the party believed hurt its chances in 2012. However, the campaigns had been quietly irritated by the rigid process all year and broke into open revolt last week. The RNC responded by suspending NBC from hosting its February 26 event and appointed a new staffer to manage the debates.\n\nRNC spokesman Sean Spicer, who had been overseeing the deliberations before being replaced last week, said he supports Trump and others as they negotiate directly with television executives. \"These debates have always been about the candidates,\" Spicer said. \"The candidates will be and always should be determining the best format for them.\"\n\nAll of the major commercial broadcast and cable news networks are scheduled to televise Republican debates through early March.

Susan, a drug addict and street prostitute, was eight months pregnant when she was forced to spend the night in the remand centre before testifying against the man accused of sexually assaulting and robbing her.\n\nThe treatment the two victims received at the hands of the Alberta justice system comes to light two months after CBC News reported a similar case that led to a provincial review. The two new cases suggest a troubling pattern in the way the courts treat victims in such cases, says one of Edmonton's top criminal defence lawyers.\n\n\"I have seen a number of cases that have been disturbing in terms of how some of the witnesses are treated,\" said Brian Beresh, who pointed out that Starlite and Susan were both marginalized victims, unlikely to have access to legal advice, family or community support. Beresh, one of Edmonton's top criminal defence lawyers, says it appears that the Crown is more concerned with getting a conviction than with the well-being of the victims. \"Particularly in terms of their rights, particularly in terms of their liberty. What appears to be first at issue is getting a conviction. I think that when that drives the process, it can result in great unfairness to individuals.\"\n\nBoth victims' names are protected by publication bans. After reviewing the files, Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley issued a brief written statement to CBC News. \"While pursuing justice, we must ensure that victims of crime are treated with dignity, compassion and respect,\" the statement said. \"We have asked a special committee to look into policies and procedures around ensuring that victims are supported and respected through the justice system. I am asking that committee to take these cases into consideration.\"\n\nThat special committee was assigned in early June to review policies and procedures after CBC News revealed the court's treatment of sex assault victim Angela Cardinal. The three cases highlight a gap in the justice system, said Deb Tomlinson, a member of the committee who is also CEO of the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services. \"There is no legal counsel there to speak on behalf of the rights and the wishes of the victim,\" she said. \"I think that's our challenge, and certainly where the problems occur.\"\n\nOn a mild Saturday night in May 2011, Starlite and her group-home girlfriend decided to go drinking. A man drove them to an apartment rented by Ali Hassan Saeed. Starlite was drunk after downing 10 shots of vodka from a \"sparkly shot glass\" over two hours. She fell asleep in one of the bedrooms. When she woke up, her friend and driver were gone. She said Saeed tried to block her from leaving the apartment, but she managed to get outside.\n\nStarlite was sexually assaulted on the lawn outside this northeast Edmonton apartment complex. \"He pushed me to the ground and we started rolling around,\" she said in an interview with CBC News. \"He started to hit me and ripped my clothes off. I got him one good shot to the side of his face with my heel, and that got him more angry.\" Eventually, Starlite gave up. \"I started crying.

LeBron had played in 92 of the previous 97 Heat games, averaging about 38 minutes on the floor per night, all while doing a huge amount of running for a man his size.\n\nResearch among football and tennis players shows that people with more sodium in their sweat cramp more often.

Aside from the result, the entire trip consisted of a series of horrors totally ill-suited to the preparation for a game the Fury needed to win to keep alive any hopes of making the NASL playoffs.\n\nThe outward journey to Indianapolis was scheduled to end around 3 p.m. on Friday, allowing time for a practice session. The squad actually walked through the doors of its downtown hotel close to midnight. That included seven unscheduled hours in Washington, including more than an hour in a plane sitting on the airport tarmac. That’s something like 16 hours door to door.\n\nThere was more. The game was scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff, but come Saturday afternoon, thunder and lightning rolled into town. Before Marc Dos Santos and his men knew it, the game had been pushed back to 9 p.m. No one was allowed in the stadium for fear of lightning threats, they were told.\n\nPlayers ventured onto the field for warmup around 8:30 p.m., but more bolts lit up the sky and sent them scurrying back to the dressing rooms while the crowd was rapidly escorted out of the stadium.\n\nThe opening whistle went at close to 10 p.m. And midnight was beckoning by the time goals from Tom Heinemann and Sinisa Ubiparipovic clinched the Ottawa victory.\n\nCoach Dos Santos, punching the air and hugging those nearest on the touchline, was clearly thrilled and not a little relieved. He admitted afterwards that the buildup to the game was almost as bad as it could get for his men, and he had decided that tying the game would be a victory. His players thought otherwise.\n\nMaybe they wanted to burn off some of the frustration from what had gone before, but there was no doubting their determination. Quick into the tackle and eager to break fast from defence, they pegged Indy back.\n\nThe early pressure had the Indy defence struggling, and with 12 minutes gone, Ubiparipovic was brought down in the penalty area. Nicki Paterson stepped up but couldn’t beat Indy goalkeeper and captain Kristian Nicht, who dived to his left to save.\n\nThe Fury pressed on, organized and eager even when Indy Eleven dominated possession.\n\nThen another blow, one that might have repercussions in the coming weeks: Central defender Drew Beckie was yards from anyone when he went down in a heap five minutes before half time. A stretcher was dispatched and he was wheeled off, only to return to the sidelines in a wheelchair. Early indications suggest ankle trouble.

As Hungarian historian Péter Hanák noted, \"In the battle of the Marchfeld [Dürnkrut], Hungarian arms helped establish the power base and imperial authority of the Habsburgs.\"\n\nApart from this, the life of the young King, already known in his lifetime as \"Ladislaus the Cuman\" (Kún László), was an uninterrupted series of scandals, intrigues, and bloody settling of scores. The passionate, spirited, and according to tradition, continuously love-struck King refused for some reason to produce a successor with his wife, the Angevin Princess Isabella of Naples, and had her locked up in a convent. When his pagan following and numerous mistresses resulted in a papal interdict, the psychopathic monarch threatened, as the Archbishop expressed it in a letter to the Pope, \"to have the Archbishop of Esztergom, his bishops, and the whole bunch in Rome decapitated with a Tatar sabre.\" Incidentally, Ladislaus IV is supposed to have performed a sexual act with his Cuman mistress during a Council meeting in the presence of dignitaries and high clergy. He was excommunicated and finally killed at the age of twenty-eight by two Cumans hired by the Hungarian magnates.\n\nLadislaus died without issue, and anarchy followed. Groups of oligarchs ruled their spheres of interest as if they were family estates, considering the entire country theirs for the taking and dividing it up among themselves. The last Árpád king, András III, was unable to re-establish central authority or prevent the country’s disintegration. He died in 1301, leaving only an infant daughter, and with him the male line of the Árpáds died out. Years of struggle for the coveted throne of Hungary, by then recognized as a member of the European community of states, resulted in 1308 in the victory of the Angevin Charles Robert, grandson of Mary of Naples, sister of Ladislaus IV.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5724, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "b701b3d5985b7c9498dff03b639b4280e181072a", "raw_chars": 3495, "clean_chars": 3483, "edit_ratio": 0.5345, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The film Billoo Barber was based on a character named Billoo, who is a barber.

By the beginning of the 19th century, that number had risen to 220. Thanks to Romilly's efforts, the number of crimes punishable by death began to decline, and by 1861 there were only five crimes that merited the death penalty: murder, treason, espionage, arson in royal dockyards, and piracy with violence. Of these, however, murder and treason carried a mandatory death penalty, unless the person was pardoned. This brought a new prominence to the role of the official executioners. They were still required to be available to carry out these executions, but there was hardly enough of a steady stream of work to make them salaried employees. Instead, in 1884, they became independent contractors. The official power to carry out the punishment was granted to the Sheriff of a county, with the ability to invite someone to be deputised to carry it out for him. The Home Office maintained a list of those who could be invited to carry it out. The pay was not excessive – £10 per execution, which had remained static since the 19th century (it would eventually be raised to £15 in the 1940s). Yet still there was fierce competition to get onto the Home Office list.\n\nHenry Pierrepoint was one of those competing for a place. He had been born in 1878 in the small village of Normanton on Soar, though his family had moved to Bradford when he was a child. Henry had worked as a mill worker and as a cabinet maker, but it was a magazine article he read on the hangman system that showed him the path to respectability. To him, becoming a hangman was a means to an end – a way to raise his position in society. So he wrote his letters, and in 1901 he was told that he had been accepted onto the list. That November he participated in his first hanging as an assistant to James Billington. James was an experienced hangman, and the first to see it as a family trade – there were seven names on the Home Office list at the time, and three of them were Billingtons. All three of his sons eventually also became hangmen. James died soon after Henry Pierrepoint began work, as did one of his sons, but Henry acted as an assistant to the two survivors for the next few years. By 1905, Henry had become the primary hangman for England and carried out all of the executions that year. (There were only eight – a far cry from the thousands of a century ago). Perhaps inspired by the Billingtons, he began suggesting to his brother Thomas that he also apply to be on the list, reportedly demonstrating the work to him with a bag of grain in a shed. Thomas applied, and was accepted in 1907. In the same year Henry executed Rhoda Willis, a 44-year-old woman who had murdered a baby she had adopted for money. This execution was apparently where the job began to take its toll on Henry. His career ended in 1910, when he turned up drunk to an execution. He was immediately removed from the list.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5737, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "751b3f6ed298f9835d2b07e939487c960007aff4", "raw_chars": 2973, "clean_chars": 3041, "edit_ratio": 0.0984, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "By Massad Ayoob, American Handgunner\n\nSituation:\n\nA large man has threatened to beat you to death, and you have reason to believe he is capable of doing so. Now he shows up at your house and begins to attack you.\n\nLesson:\n\nNot everyone who violently attacks you will be a stereotypical criminal, and the justice system still struggles to recognize that an attacker does not need a weapon to kill you.\n\nSocial scientists tell us that by the time we turn 21, we have seen thousands of people \"killed\" on TV and movie screens. Those images shape our society's values, sometimes in unrealistic and unhealthy ways. Television and movies can give the general public false impressions.\n\nIf a guy was shot in the back, the public might think, \"It couldn't possibly be self-defense; he must be a victim of a cowardly, murderous ambush.\" If the deceased was shot more than once or twice, particularly with a relatively powerful gun, people might say, \"Hey, when Gary Cooper shot a bad cowboy once with a .45, it knocked him off his feet! This shooting must have been motivated solely by murderous malice!\"\n\nYears of watching shows such as \"CSI\" on TV can lead viewers to believe that if a spent casing was found in Position X, then without a doubt the shot must have been fired from exactly Position Y. And, horror of horrors, an armed citizen shot someone unarmed? In reference to one such case last year, I saw a CNN commentator literally scream into the camera, \"Murder! Murder! MURDER!\"\n\nThe Facts\n\nAnyone who has been involved in homicide cases for any length of time knows all of the popular beliefs listed above are misconceptions. Any number of dynamics can account for a bullet entering behind the lateral midline of an attacker's body. Many factors can turn a violent assailant into a \"bullet sponge,\" who soaks up wound after deadly wound before he goes down.\n\nAny shooter who has tried to retrieve brass after a range session absolutely knows the shooter's position does not exactly correlate to where the spent casing ends up. And any medical examiner or homicide investigator who has ever seen the corpse of someone beaten to death knows a criminal assailant does not require a deadly weapon to kill an innocent victim.\n\nMovies teach us to expect an attacker who resembles a street monster out of Hollywood Central Casting. The fact is, with surprising frequency, the attacker is someone who doesn't happen to have a criminal record and who is loved by family and friends, who genuinely see him as a good guy.\n\nEarlier this year, I was involved in a premeditated murder trial in the Appalachians where all of these factors came together. I came to know the defendant and his wife, who asked me to keep their names out of this story because they have suffered enough from the trial's negative publicity. The same seems fair for the family of the deceased. For these reasons, I am going to change two names here: the name of the defendant and the name of the man who was killed.

A spokeswoman for the Public Health Agency of Canada stated on Friday that the fetus has \"severe congenital neurological anomalies,\" but declined to provide further details due to privacy concerns.\n\nRebecca Gilman, a spokesperson for the agency, clarified that this marks Canada's second case of maternal-to-fetal transmission of the virus. The Zika virus has been linked to serious birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition where babies are born with abnormally small heads and underdeveloped brains, in mothers who were infected during pregnancy. Gilman noted that the first Canadian case of maternal-to-fetus transmission involved a baby confirmed to have the virus but without related birth defects; that child appears normal so far.\n\nA World Health Organization report released on Thursday also identified Canada as the latest country to report a case of congenital malformation associated with a Zika infection.\n\nZika is primarily transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, a species not currently found in Canada. However, mosquitoes capable of transmitting Zika have recently been detected in parts of Miami, Florida, prompting Canada's public health agency to warn pregnant women against traveling to the area. As of Thursday, there have been 205 confirmed cases of travel-related Zika infections in Canada, along with two cases of sexual transmission.\n\nJay Keystone, a University of Toronto professor of medicine and infectious disease expert, expressed that he is not surprised by the emergence of more Zika cases in Canada, though he emphasized that the situation is far more severe in countries experiencing mosquito-borne transmission, such as Brazil. \"It was a matter of time before we start seeing Zika cases in Canada, and it's a matter of time before a fetus was infected from the virus,\" he said. \"The hope is there will be less and less as Canadians become more aware of the risk.\"\n\nKeystone explained that the Aedes mosquito is a daytime-biting insect most active in the morning and late afternoon. He stressed the importance of using mosquito repellent and covering as much of the body as possible when in areas with Zika outbreaks.\n\nIsaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases specialist at the University Health Network, noted that the full range of health issues related to Zika is not yet fully understood. Doctors will closely monitor babies who have been infected to see if cognitive problems emerge as they grow. \"We know microcephaly is one illness the developing child can have, and it can be pretty catastrophic at times. But they may have a whole spectrum of deficits which can include cognitive deficits; they can have problems with vision, they can have problems with hearing,\" he said.\n\nBogoch added that while Canadians should take precautions, there is no need for alarm, calling the current guidelines for preventing infections \"spot on.\" \"The level of concern here is low, but we can't let our guard down,\" he said. \"It's appropriately low, but it's not zero.\"\n\nCanada's public health agency has recommended that women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant avoid traveling to areas with Zika outbreaks. Men traveling to these areas are also advised to be aware of the risks. Current Canadian public health guidelines suggest that men who have traveled to Zika-infected areas should consider using condoms or abstaining from sex for six months to avoid transmitting the virus to their partners.

Evangelical demands for a born-again experience were pushed by demands for a Baptism in the Spirit, with signs following.\n\nThe instinct of these reactionary movements should be seen in the context of ordinary Protestantism. The emptiness of a postponed spiritual reality gave birth to undisciplined, non-traditional forms of spiritual experience. The New Testament itself bears constant witness against the banal, empty futility of ordinary Protestantism. It promises so much more.\n\nFrom a Classical Christian perspective, these eruptions of experience-hungry movements should not be judged too harshly. They are often defective in doctrine and marked by delusional claims, but their instinct and hunger are correct. I believe that current conversations between Orthodoxy and Pentecostalism, at least on the theological level, will be very fruitful, particularly for the Pentecostals.\n\nThe Tradition teaches the reality of the spiritual life:\n\n\"We have seen the true light, we have received the heavenly spirit, we have found the true faith, worshipping the undivided Trinity who has saved us!\"\n\nThe Tradition also places the reality of the experience into the disciplined life of the Church. Thus, 2,000 years of experience produces saints rather than ephemeral movements. For in the end, the experience of Orthodox Christianity is about far more than popular demand: it is the promise and realization of union with God.\n\nIndividual believers have a \"taste\" of this reality, but the fruit of the Orthodox life is found in the saints—those persons who have been so united with Christ that the very life of Christ Himself is tangibly visible in their works and teachings. Like the resurrection of Christ Himself, their reality validates the life and struggles of all believers.\n\nThe traditional ascesis of Orthodoxy is not a method. It is not a set of actions and thoughts that inherently produce the results of sanctity. Such a notion would reduce God to an impersonal force. They are, however, guards against delusion and the path by which we may normatively know the true and living God. But the \"ordinariness\" of general experience is not the \"norm\" for the Christian life. Christ Himself alone, and the stature of His fullness (Eph. 4:13), are the measure and standard of the Christian life.\n\nThe language of the Church quickly evolved in its use and definition of the term \"saint.\" Though St. Paul regularly addresses his readers as \"saints,\" in a manner that makes the term seem synonymous with the word \"believers,\" it sometimes has a stronger meaning.\n\nTo all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

A subculture of frequently undocumented workers, such as the Radium Girls, the Fukushima 50, Liquidators, and Nuclear Samurai, performs the dirty, difficult, and potentially dangerous work that regular employees often shun. When these workers exceed their allowable radiation exposure limits at a specific facility, they frequently migrate to a different nuclear facility. The industry implicitly accepts this practice because it cannot operate without these laborers.\n\nExisting labor laws protecting workers' health rights are not properly enforced. While records are required to be kept, they are frequently neglected. Some personnel were not properly trained, resulting in their own exposure to toxic amounts of radiation. At several facilities, there are ongoing failures to perform required radiological screenings or to implement corrective actions.\n\nMany questions regarding these nuclear worker conditions go unanswered. With the exception of a few whistleblowers, the vast majority of laborers—who are unseen, underpaid, overworked, and exploited—have few incentives to share their stories. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for hazardous radioactive materials removal workers in the U.S. is $37,590, or $18 per hour.

While this was a significant improvement over the previous setup, which split the festival across two locations separated by a road, it did get quite crowded at times.\n\nThe participating breweries have also changed from year to year. The best news this year was the presence of two renowned lambic houses, Cantillon and Tilquin. While sour beers of various kinds have been featured by almost all brewers every year, with very few exceptions, nothing comes close to the real thing. I enjoyed a wide variety of wonderful beers from both of these brewers over the weekend.\n\nAt the other end of the quality spectrum, two brand-new and unproven breweries served some of the worst beers I have ever encountered at Borefts. Every brewery has served less successful or even undrinkable experimental beers over the years. Some brewers mistakenly treat malt vinegar as a sour beer, while others seem to believe that peat-smoked malt and Laphroig barrels have a place in the beer world. There are also brewers under the strange illusion that adding more spice to beer always makes it better. However, this year, we encountered some truly poorly brewed beers. It may not be entirely fair to compare these new brewers to the cream of the world-class brewing community, but the quality was noticeably lacking.\n\nEach year, the festival presents a challenge for the participating brewers. This year, the challenge was to brew a version of the Radler, a beverage that occupies valuable shelf space on beer shelves across Holland, Germany, and Slovakia, and occasionally makes appearances in Denmark. The Radler causes every proud, Reinheitsgebot-loving German brewer to pour cheap soda pop into their beer, and it leads teenagers to believe that beer can taste like sugar water.\n\nFortunately, the brewers at Borefts met the challenge by creating non-Radler beverages and labeling them as such. There were a few interesting and tasty fruit beers among the entries, but they had very little in common with each other. I sincerely hope that next year's challenge will test the brewers' technical skills rather than their imagination. A single-hop pale ale, a crisp and clean pilsner, or a 5% porter would be much more interesting challenges.\n\nThe food served at the Borefts Beer Festival has also evolved considerably. It has progressed from a choice of just two different sandwiches, if my memory serves me right, to several food stalls offering burgers, fries, stew, and local delicacies like good Dutch cheese.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5764, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "1c8e179aa09d691fb92affd6561017cddd2c9ce7", "raw_chars": 3266, "clean_chars": 3225, "edit_ratio": 0.0322, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I do think the presence of a TrekTwitter would be deeply erosive to the power structure on Deep Space Nine, though I'm not wholly sure that's a bad thing. Everyone in power is good and believes themselves a hero—even when they are deceitful and manipulative, it is always in service of the greater good, where the greater good is defined as the survival of the Federation. Can you imagine the subreddit for the station? How many atheists would tear down Sisko the messiah, how every decision would be questioned, mocked, and dissected where the actors and the acted upon could see it? Every show of this type has a \"view from below\" episode at some point, but part of the point of the barrage of opinions and information we now sort through every day is that the view from below is as available as the A narrative, at all times.\n\nBut it's not there. At one point someone asks for a high-speed data connection, and this is treated as a pretty serious request. But all I could think is: for what?\n\nThis absolutely feeds into my second point, which I think is far more endemic to science fiction in general than simply the lack of anyone predicting Facebook in 1993.\n\nWe do see hobbies on the station: O'Brien and Bashir, who are basically married by Season 2, like to re-enact famous battles in the holosuite. Sisko likes to re-enact baseball games. People gamble, they play sports, they play instruments, they buy prostitutes both virtual and real. But the hobby we see most often is reading books (followed by cooking food, which is interesting and I think a right call in a world of replicators—real, cooked food suddenly has a tremendous value and becomes a status flag). We never see anyone just wasting time.\n\nBattle re-enactments are eminently useful for military officers; likewise strategic sports and even Picard's mystery-solving programs and the crew's bafflingly low-tech poker games, though that's getting further afield than I'd like. Gambling is almost always shown as a social activity (as opposed to online poker) in which many other kinds of important information can be had. Reading books is mentally stimulating and often the books themselves are classics even by our own standards, such as Shakespeare. (Most people, no matter what their profiles say, do not read Shakespeare to unwind. Apparently all Starfleet captains do, however.) In fact, the pastimes we see are very Victorian in nature. They are parlor pastimes: reading, talking, playing live instruments (something we already see drastically less of than even a few decades ago, especially as compared to how many people can play Rock Band vs can play a guitar). It's all over Aubrey and Maturin up in there.\n\nNobody sits around and plays Farmville. Nobody gets embroiled in a flame war concerning the portrayal of Klingons in human vids or just sits and watches vids with their feet up. Nope. The brave men and women of the future read (super old) books, talk to each other face to face, and even in their VR fantasies practice for things they will have to do in real life or, admittedly quite realistically, have space holosex.

For many readers, it likely serves as a trigger to appalling events in their own lives. Rape is an everyday crime. By my calculations, roughly 230 people are raped each day in England and Wales.\n\nPolice called for specialist units to investigate rape allegations this morning, as senior officers expressed shame over a conviction rate they calculate at just 6%. \"Not good enough,\" said Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police John Yates.\n\nHowever, an analysis of Home Office data on what they term \"intimate violence\" suggests the conviction rate is much lower and the scale of the problem far greater. My source is the Home Office supplement to the British Crime Survey, titled \"Homicides, Firearm Offences and Intimate Violence 2006/07.\" This is a remarkable piece of research in which 13,000 people were asked to fill out an anonymous questionnaire regarding their experiences of domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape.\n\nThis exercise has been conducted three times and is backed up by other academic studies. The results are consistent. One in 20 women said they had been raped since they were 16. One in 200 said they had been raped in the previous 12 months. In terms of the population of England and Wales, that suggests 85,000 women are raped each year—230 a day. Yet the number of men convicted of rape is fewer than 800 a year. So the chance of a victim seeing her attacker jailed is less than one in 100.\n\nRape is a complex crime. Only 17% of rapists are strangers to their victim. Just 4% are cases of date rape. Half (54%) are committed by a husband, partner, or ex-partner. What's more, even though their experience is technically rape in law, 57% of rape victims don't necessarily think of themselves that way.\n\nTo be clear about what the figures categorize as rape, the definition is: \"the penetration of the vagina or anus without consent and penetration of the mouth by a penis without consent.\"\n\nSince the 39,000 people who have taken part in the studies benefited nothing from alleging rape, and the results appear consistent, it seems probable that the research gives a realistic sense of the scale.\n\nIf one looks at the data on rape at any point during adult life, it suggests 700,000 women have suffered in that way—equivalent to the entire population of Leeds.\n\nFigures for male rape are too small to measure on an annual basis, but the survey suggests there are approximately 80,000 men in England and Wales who have been raped in adulthood.\n\nThe data suggests, if anything, incidents of rape are going down slightly. But, to my mind, the numbers still paint a deeply troubling picture of sexual violence in the 21st century.\n\nHow should we respond? The police have made great strides in recent years to deal more effectively with allegations of rape. The idea of specialist units may help. But such is the scale of unwanted sexual advance, assault, and rape revealed by the research, the answer surely cannot lie with policing alone.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5777, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b502d6896cd58248ebb36e8f929fbd045cf66e79", "raw_chars": 2037, "clean_chars": 2000, "edit_ratio": 0.1092, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Japan international goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima has been named in the Dundee United squad for Saturday's Scottish Premiership match against Dundee at Dens Park.

However, the elite's economic gain requires the further impoverishment of the American middle class.\n\nGreedy economic elites possess tools that middle-class Americans do not. The key resource of the elites is large amounts of discretionary cash. Given the wide loopholes in laws that are supposed to bar the purchasing of legislation, such as the RICO Act, the American political system has in many ways devolved to a \"pay to play\" system. As an example, the Sunlight Foundation determined that these elites spent $1.5 billion \"lobbying\" for immigration liberalization since the last immigration amnesty campaign collapsed (i.e., between 2007–2012.) The Sunlight Foundation's methodology likely excluded considerable lobbying funds. Given the large push to pass S. 744 in the U.S. Senate at the end of June, 2013, a more realistic estimate is about $2 billion in lobbying expenditures regarding immigration liberalization between 2007 and January, 2014.\n\nAnother tool utilized by the elites is public relations. The various media outlets are being flooded with messaging to pave the way for the planned enactment of further immigration liberalization. This author, among others, has written numerous rebuttals to this messaging. Here is a recent example:\n\nThe \"more jobs for Americans\" that Mr. Dearie and Ms. Geduldig refer to are the part-time jobs that make scant use of the American's education or experience. For many older Americans, more than one of these part-time jobs are necessary to make ends meet — and there are no fringe benefits. The peak earning years of Americans are now between the ages of 40 to 50, even for those with Ph.D.s, per the U.S. Census. Americans are being displaced from their careers by the record numbers of young immigrants, who further glut labor markets, meaning bigger employer profit margins. The Census Bureau shows a new record: over 40 million Americans are foreign-born. If the immigration bill passed by the Senate six months ago is enacted, yet more poverty will be imported.\n\nMuch of the messaging centers on the false claim that the U.S. faces a talent shortage in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The false claims are examples of the profit motive, writ large. A 2012 estimate was that each higher-skill work visa admission was valued at approximately $150,000.00 in reduced salary and benefit expenditures. A recent article in the most widely read publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the IEEE Spectrum chronicles some of the misleading, but widely disseminated views, that the U.S. faces a STEM talent shortage.

They’re terribly injured!”\n\n“T-this is serious! If I don’t give medical treatment right away…!”\n\nHanatarō set off in a hurry towards the courtyard, where he then came to a stop. There, an androgynous youngster impossible to characterise as either a girl or boy, the child’s shoulder tips were severely mutilated, holes had pierced several places on the child’s abdomen, and one arm was twisted back into an irregular position.\n\nRather than describing it as wounded head to toe, looking at the youngster’s condition, it wouldn’t be surprising to mistake the child for a corpse even if it was still standing and walking. Hanatarō immediately hovered his hands over the openings to those wounds, activating healing Kidō known as Kaidō.\n\n“…Uuhn.”\n\nThe child drops to both knees on the spot and distorts their face seemingly in pain.\n\n“It’s okay, I will close up those wounds at once!

However, this patient is a bit of a special case. You won’t be able to heal them alone.”\n\n“Ehh”\n\nLooking at the person who has appeared beside him, Hanatarō’s eyes widened as he raised his voice in surprise.\n\n“Se-Seinosuke nii-san!”\n\n“What!?”\n\nSubsequently, Hisagi’s eyes also opened wide.\n\nA man with a sharp look in his eyes and a self-possessed demeanour, one would be completely unable to associate his image with Hanatarō in any way, shape or form.\n\nThis man – paying no heed to the surprise of the other two, Seinosuke continued to proceed with his medical treatment whilst skillfully changing the nature of the Reiatsu in his own Kaidō.\n\nThen, the wounds began to heal in an instant and the bleeding had visibility halted.\n\nObserving that scene, Hisagi’s breath was taken away.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5784, "chunk_idx": 7, "raw_sha1": "91c8eb8159cf7bcc8ee1940e2c8ed09d75f94c54", "raw_chars": 3483, "clean_chars": 3517, "edit_ratio": 0.3237, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"Hey...

As technology continues to replace the human element in the worldwide workforce, more and more people will have to depend completely on government aid for survival. Soon enough, we may not even need human pilots anymore. New technology in automatic pilot systems will put commercial pilots and air traffic controllers out of work, and this includes military pilots as well. Thousands of jobs that your children might have expected will simply disappear. Two generations from now, old men will say, \"I remember when people flew these airplanes; those were the days!\"\n\nWe are going to need large government programs to handle the excess masses of people who will have no jobs available to them. There simply will not be jobs for everyone, especially not quality, well-paying ones. Like it or not, it is going to cost a great deal more money to support a population in which only half are working. Taxes will have to skyrocket for every working person to pay for the huge numbers of unemployed on welfare programs. I just cannot see any other outcome. Unless we are willing to wipe out, dare I say murder, hundreds of thousands of our own citizens annually just to \"get them off the books,\" huge government programs will become increasingly necessary as world populations continue to grow beyond a healthy balance.\n\nIt is interesting to note how Mother Nature has managed all living things naturally for hundreds of millions of years, keeping everything in a fragile yet beautiful balancing act, with the sole exception of humans. This is just another glaring example highlighting how out of touch with nature humans really are. Everything we do seems harmful in the end and only serves to upset the balance. How can we come along and upset the natural balance of things so quickly? If we are supposed to have evolved here, why can't we live in harmony with the Earth?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5802, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "7025f788cc4704c4f409013c4639ed7faa01f67d", "raw_chars": 1400, "clean_chars": 1463, "edit_ratio": 0.3692, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The single most surprising finding from this survey was that eight out of ten Americans want the nation to limit global warming pollution through regulation, taxation, or both, while only one in ten prefer that the United States take no action.\n\nIt is interesting to note that over the past eight years, we have witnessed enormous drops in the cost of renewable energy, particularly wind and solar.

Tolkien's The Hobbit has sold for a record price at auction. The copy, which Tolkien presented to one of his former students, Katherine Kilbride, in 1937, was sold at Sotheby's auction house in London for £137,000 (approximately $210,000). This sale more than doubled the previous world record, making this copy the most expensive in the world. The previous record was held by a first edition dedicated to Elaine Griffiths, known as \"The Queen of Hobbits,\" which sold for £60,000 in March 2008. This newly sold copy, in almost perfect condition with a mint jacket, now joins the list of the most valuable copies of The Hobbit.\n\nTolkien inscribed only a handful of presentation copies of The Hobbit upon its publication, with C.S. Lewis also being a recipient. This particular copy includes an inscription by Tolkien in Old English, identified by John D. Rateliff, author of The History of The Hobbit, as an extract from Tolkien's The Lost Road (see J.R.R. Tolkien, The History of Middle-earth, Vol. 5, published in 1987). This time-travel story, which linked the world of Númenor and Middle-earth with the legends of many other times and peoples, was abandoned incomplete.\n\nWithin a set of page proofs of The Hobbit, Tolkien wrote a list of family members, colleagues, friends, and students to whom he wished to present copies of the book (see Appendix V within John D. Rateliff's second edition of The History of The Hobbit, published in 2011). The intended recipients were E.V. Gordon; C.S. Lewis; Elaine Griffiths; K.M. Kilbride; Marjorie Incledon; Mary Incledon; R.W. Chambers; Aileen and Elizabeth Jennings; Mabel Mitton (\"Aunt Mabel\"); Florence Hadley (\"Aunt Florence\"); C.L. Wrenn; Simone d'Ardenne; Helen Buckhurst; Jane Neave; \"Rattenbury\" (thought by Rateliff to be R.M. Rateliff, a lecturer in Classics at the University of Leeds); \"Livesleys\" (possibly the couple who ran a guest house in Sidmouth); A.H. Smith; Jennie Grove; Stella Mills; W.R. Childe; George S. Gordon; and Hilary Tolkien. Rateliff notes that copies were also intended for the Oxford Magazine and the \"Book Soc.\"\n\nIn recent decades, many of these association copies of The Hobbit have been sold at auction, and several were sold directly to collectors. They remain the most precious books any Tolkien lover or collector could desire. Prices have risen so high that they are now accessible only to the lucky few. Doubling the previous price record, however, indicates a very strong interest. Many had expected that with the release of The Hobbit movies, many rare copies would have been brought to the auction block; however, no such thing happened, and prices remained stable (unlike during The Lord of the Rings movies, when prices skyrocketed). Now that the movie hype has calmed down, it is time for the books to retake their place.\n\nThe recipient of this copy was Miss Katherine (\"Kitty\") Kilbride (1900-1966), who had been one of Tolkien's first students at Leeds University in the 1920s. Kitty Kilbride, recalled her nephew, \"...an invalid all her life and was much cheered by his [Tolkien's] chatty letters and cards. ...books were given to her as they were published.\"\n\nKilbride's letter of acknowledgement for the present volume is preserved in the Tolkien papers in the Bodleian Library (MS.Tolkien 21, f.66).

At the age of 17, he was captain of Syria’s national youth team, despite being their youngest player. He was a striker, wearing number 10, and scored a record 64 goals in 52 matches. But on April 15, he left all this behind, escaping Syria to risk everything on a rickety boat across the Mediterranean.\n\n\"Where is our star?\", \"Our star shouldn't have left us\", and \"He's gone to Germany\" are some of the posts on Mohamed’s Facebook page, alongside photos and videos showing his prowess on the football field.\n\nAt first, Mohamed was so caught up in football that he took little notice of the war. But soon the conflict began to encroach on his daily life. As he took the bus to his training sessions, explosions became more and more frequent. When this happened, he and the other passengers would throw themselves onto the floor between the seats. One day, a bomb exploded on the football pitch in the middle of a match, and one of his teammates died. Mohamed realized he did not want to carry on.\n\nAt the same time, Mohamed’s eighteenth birthday was looming, bringing with it the prospect of forcible conscription into the Syrian army.\n\n\"We decided to leave Syria to protect Mohamed’s future,\" says his father.\n\nAccompanied by his father and uncle, Mohamed crossed the border to Turkey and made his way to the port city of Mersin, on the eastern Mediterranean. A distance of just a few hundred kilometers, the journey took 24 hours and was fraught with risk. They had to cross the mountains on foot, bargain for transport, and avoid human traffickers, all against a backdrop of gunfire and explosions.\n\nIn Mersin, they found a boat that would take them to Europe: an old merchant ship, into which they were squeezed with hundreds of other Syrians. By day two, the boat had started to take on water. By the time they were rescued, the boat was barely afloat. It was five more days before they landed on the coast of Sicily.\n\nMohamed sits on a camp bed in the migrants’ reception center in Pozzallo, surrounded by Syrian families. On the wall behind him are pinned drawings, messages written in Arabic, Syrian flags, and a picture of a leaking boat with the legend \"the death ship.\"\n\nMohamed’s gaze is serious and determined; it suggests someone who, despite all the difficulties, will not easily give up on his ambitions.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5807, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "200601d4b65378fb509a1651e1f984d9909f4b8d", "raw_chars": 2403, "clean_chars": 2375, "edit_ratio": 0.3378, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is almost time to break out the sunscreen and dancing shoes, as Queens parks will host numerous concerts this summer as part of the Only in Queens festival.

The live crowd reacted negatively towards Batista's win, as Daniel Bryan did not take part in the match. Despite a positive reaction originally, the crowd began to boo Batista after Reigns was eliminated. After the show went off the air, Batista mocked Bryan and gestured his middle finger at the crowd.

This would establish an effective channel whereby officers with concerns can give evidence directly and in confidence to the Investigatory Powers Commissioner, with the expectation that a proper investigation will be conducted and with no repercussions to their careers inside the agencies. Here is a link to a short video I did for Oxford University three years ago outlining these proposals:\n\nThis, in my view, would be a win-win scenario for all concerned. The agencies would have a chance to improve their work practices, learn from mistakes, and better protect national security, as well as avoiding the scandal and embarrassment of any future whistleblowing scandals. Officers with ethical concerns would not be placed in the invidious position of either becoming complicit in potentially illegal acts by \"just following orders\" or risking the loss of their careers and liberty by going public about their concerns.\n\nI would also like to raise the proportionality issue. It strikes me that bulk intercept must surely be disproportionate within a functioning and free democracy, and indeed can actually harm national security. Why? Because the useful, indeed crucial, intelligence on targets and their associates is lost in the tsunami of available information. Indeed, this seems to have been the conclusion of every inquiry about the recent spate of \"lone wolf\" and ISIS-inspired attacks across the West—the targets were all vaguely known to the authorities, but resources were spread too thinly.\n\nIn fact, all that bulk collection seems to provide is confirmation after the fact of a suspect's involvement in a specific incident, which is surely specifically police evidential work. Yet the justification for the invasive intercept and interference measures laid out in the Bill itself is to gather vital information ahead of an attack in order to prevent it—the very definition of intelligence. How is this possible if the sheer scale of bulk collection drowns out the vital nuggets of intelligence?\n\nFinally, I would like to raise the point that the phrase \"national security\" has never been defined for legal purposes in the UK. Surely this should be the very first step necessary before formulating the proposed IP Bill? Until we have such a legal definition, how can we formulate new and intrusive laws in the name of protecting an undefined and nebulous concept, and how can we judge that the new law will thereby be proportionate within a democracy?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5825, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "1282401482136a821df599b7bf238bb310ed9531", "raw_chars": 3229, "clean_chars": 2998, "edit_ratio": 0.5481, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "My written evidence to the Scrutiny Committee in the UK Houses of Parliament, which is currently examining the much-disputed Investigatory Powers Bill (IP):\n\nMy name is Annie Machon, and I worked as an intelligence officer for the UK's domestic Security Service, commonly referred to as MI5, from early 1991 until late 1996. I resigned to help my partner at the time, fellow intelligence officer David Shayler, expose a number of instances of crime and incompetence we had witnessed during our time in the service.\n\nI note that the draft IP Bill repeatedly emphasizes the importance of democratic and judicial oversight of the various categories of intrusive intelligence gathering by establishing an Investigatory Powers Commissioner as well as supporting Judicial Commissioners. However, I am concerned about the real and meaningful application of this oversight.\n\nWhile in the Service in the 1990s, we were governed by the terms of the Interception of Communications Act 1985 (IOCA), the precursor to RIPA, which provided for a similar system of applications for a warrant and ministerial oversight.\n\nI would like to submit evidence that the system did not work and could be manipulated from the inside.\n\nI am aware of at least two instances of this during my time in the service, which were cleared for publication by MI5 in my 2005 book about the Shayler case, \"Spies, Lies, and Whistleblowers,\" so my discussing them now is not in breach of the Official Secrets Act. I would be happy to provide further evidence, either written or in person, about these abuses.\n\nMy concern about this draft Bill is that while the oversight provisions seem to be strengthened, with approval necessary from both the Secretary of State and a Judicial Commissioner, the internal process of application for warrants will still remain opaque and open to manipulation within the intelligence agencies.\n\nThe application process for a warrant governing interception or interference involved a case being made in writing by the intelligence officer in charge of an investigation. This then went through four layers of management, with all the usual redactions and finessing, before a final summary was drafted by H Branch, signed by the DDG, and then dispatched to the Secretary of State. So the minister was only ever presented with a summary of a summary of a summary of a summary of the original intelligence case.\n\nAdditionally, the original intelligence case could be erroneous and misleading. The process of writing the warrant application was merely a tick-box exercise, and officers would routinely note that such intelligence could only be obtained by such intrusive methods, rather than exploring all open-source options first. The revalidation process could be even more cavalier.\n\nWhen problems with this system were voiced, officers were told not to rock the boat and just follow orders.

Pew found that only 48 percent of that demographic supports her. Although this represents a substantial advantage over Trump's 15 percent, it poses a significant challenge for Clinton's campaign, especially since nearly half of all eligible Hispanic voters are millennials.\n\nNevertheless, Clinton and the Democrats hope that Trump's hardline stance on undocumented immigrants, combined with his provocative statements regarding Mexicans, Syrian refugees, and other groups, will energize Hispanic and other minority voters this year.\n\nBarreto cited several statistics suggesting that the Clinton campaign's outreach efforts are yielding results, aided by Trump's own controversies.\n\nIn Florida alone, 441,000 Hispanics have registered to vote since the 2012 elections. Furthermore, these new voters are shifting toward the Democratic Party, which has seen its advantage grow from 11 points in 2013 to a 26-point lead today.\n\nFifty-one percent of Hispanic voters report being more enthusiastic about voting in this election compared to four years ago, up from 40 percent at the same point in the 2012 contest. \"We're now on track to have the biggest turnout of Latinos in electoral history,\" Barreto noted.\n\nAt this point in 2012, Barreto's firm found Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney 70 to 20 among Hispanic voters.

The current unfavorable rating for Trump stands at 79 percent.\n\n\"This is doing a lot of damage to not just the Trump campaign but the party overall,\" Barreto said.\n\nLorella Praeli, Clinton's director of Latino outreach, explained that the campaign is intensifying grassroots efforts not only in traditional battleground states with significant Hispanic populations—such as Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and Virginia—but also in states where the numbers are smaller but could prove decisive. In North Carolina, for example, Hispanics make up just 2 percent of the electorate, which matches the margin by which Obama lost the state in 2012.\n\n\"It's enough to swing the state one way or the other,\" Praeli said, \"which is why we have Latino vote directors and Latino programs across North Carolina.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5835, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e1b20afeff7cbea9956ae052f7ba9a1123e9bdc8", "raw_chars": 3409, "clean_chars": 2124, "edit_ratio": 0.2503, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The elephant hawk-moth (Deilephila elpenor) is a moth belonging to the family Sphingidae. Its common name is derived from the caterpillar's resemblance to an elephant's trunk. It is most common in central Europe and is distributed throughout the Palearctic region. Its distinct olive and pink coloring makes it one of the most recognizable moths in its range. However, it is quite easy to confuse the elephant hawk-moth with the small elephant hawk-moth, a closely related species that also shares the characteristic colors.\n\nThese moths are nocturnal and therefore feed on flowers that open or produce nectar at nighttime. The elephant hawk-moth has incredibly sensitive eyes that allow it to see color even at low-light levels. In fact, it was one of the first species in which nocturnal color vision was documented in animals. The moth is also known for its hovering capability, which it utilizes when feeding on nectar from flowers. This behavior is costly in terms of energy and can help explain why the moth has evolved such enhanced visual capabilities for efficient feeding. The moths also play an important role as pollinators throughout their habitat.\n\nThe D. elpenor moth has olive-brown colored forewings outlined with pink. Two pink lines also run through the wings. The first line is usually thicker and terminates in the center of the wings near a white dot. The second line, which runs below the first, starts at the white inner margins and runs until the tip of the wing. The hindwings have a black inner half that gradually turns pink from the middle outwards. It is outlined by white fringes. The head, thorax, and body are also olive-brown in color with pink markings throughout.\n\nTwo separate subspecies, Deilephila elpenor elpenor and Deilephila elpenor lewisii, were recognized in the past, but they are no longer regarded as well-distinguished. Similarly, the subspecies Deilephila elpenor szechuana is now thought to be a synonym for Deilephila elpenor elpenor.

Clear distinctions in size and coloring help differentiate between the two. As the name suggests, the small elephant hawk moth is much smaller and more yellow around its body. The most obvious defining feature is the thick pink stripe running down the elephant hawk moth's abdomen, which is absent on the small elephant hawk moth. The two species are rarely seen together in garden traps because the small elephant hawk moth prefers more open habitats.\n\nThe species is very common in central Europe and has a distribution throughout the Palearctic region. It is especially well-distributed in England, Wales, and Ireland. Until the 1980s, the elephant hawk moth was only present in the southern half of Scotland, but it has since expanded its range up the north coast and into the country's mainland. In general, the moth's range becomes thinner and less concentrated in the northern parts of Europe. The range also extends throughout Asia and even to Japan.\n\nThe elephant hawk moth inhabits a variety of habitats, including rough grassland, heathland, sand dunes, hedgerows, woodland, the open countryside, and even urban gardens. The moths play an important role in pollination throughout their habitats. Previous studies on hawk moths have indicated that they can pollinate up to 5-10% of the tree and shrub species in the area they inhabit.\n\nThere is usually only a single generation of the elephant hawk moth in a given year. Occasionally, a small number of second-generation individuals are recorded in late summer, but this is very rare. The pupae overwinter in cocoons, and the species becomes active from May to early August, with peak activity occurring between midsummer and September.\n\nFemales lay eggs either singly or in pairs on the leaves of plants that serve as food sources for the caterpillars when they emerge. These host plants include rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium) and bedstraws (of the genus Galium). The moths are also attracted to human-made gardens, and eggs have frequently been found on garden fuchsias, dahlias, and lavender. The eggs are whitish-green with a glossy texture and usually hatch in ten days.\n\nYoung larvae are yellowish-white to green in color. When fully grown, the larvae are brown-gray with black dots along the length of the body. They have a backward-curving spine or \"horn\" on the final abdominal segment that is the same color as their body. Fully grown larvae can measure up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length and weigh between 4 and 7.5 grams (0.14 and 0.26 oz). During their lifetime, they ingest a total of 11–30 grams (0.39–1.06 oz) of plant material.\n\nVariation in color has been observed in nature. Specifically, a green version of the full-grown larva exists within the species. Previous research has shown that this color variation is not due to a simple inheritance pattern, and specific explanations remain inconclusive.\n\nThe species then enters the pupal stage.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5852, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "cc2da9c561debf5baa8b540120e918e7bad92d4c", "raw_chars": 3161, "clean_chars": 3129, "edit_ratio": 0.0766, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Oakland Zoo officials argue that Measure A1, a countywide parcel tax on the November ballot, will fund animal care needs, including food, heating, and cooling. Their ballot argument is designed to appeal to East Bay animal lovers. However, opponents of the measure contend that the official language could allow the zoo to spend at least part of the proceeds from the $114 million parcel tax on a controversial expansion in the Oakland hills. The debate over exactly how the zoo will use the proposed $12 tax on residential parcels and $72 on commercial properties may ultimately decide the fate of Measure A1.\n\nJoel Parrott, the zoo's executive director, stated in an interview that opponents' fears regarding how the tax money will be spent are misguided. \"It's going to be used for operations and repairs to the existing zoo,\" he said. \"We already have funded the next phase of the expansion project.\"\n\nThe Oakland Zoo's expansion plans were reviewed by Oakland city government during the first half of last year before receiving approval in June 2011. Opponents of the expansion into upper Knowland Park filed an environmental lawsuit after the approval, but they subsequently lost and did not appeal. Despite this, they continue to argue that the project will have significant impacts that have not been adequately studied or mitigated. They are concerned that Measure A1 parcel tax revenues could be spent on the expansion rather than on caring for zoo animals.\n\n\"According to our lawyers and our reading of the measure, they clearly are related,\" said Ruth Malone of Friends of Knowland Park, a community group that has led the opposition to the expansion. \"There's absolutely no question about this measure legally. It seems pretty clear that they can use this measure for the expansion.\"\n\nThe official summary that will appear before voters on the ballot states that the tax is needed to maintain and upgrade humane animal care and basic needs, retain veterinarians and animal specialists, care for wounded and endangered animals, support wildlife conservation, maintain children's educational programs, and keep entrance fees affordable. \"People will read the summary of this and say, 'Oh, that's a good cause,'\" Malone said. \"But in this case, they may not realize that they're going to be financing the destruction of Knowland Park, which has some really amazing resources.\"\n\nThe zoo's expansion plan includes new offices, a new veterinary hospital, and the centerpiece, an exhibit called California that highlights animals native to the state.

The remaining $30 million will be raised solely from private sources, Parrott said. \"This measure is not to build California,\" he said, referring to the planned exhibit. \"It's about operating the zoo and building programs as we go forward. ...

However, with the news of PRO12’s plans to expand to the United States and the oft-rumored launch of the Major Rugby Championship—a competition of elite U.S. clubs trying to make the jump to professionalism—Schoninger believes USA Rugby is reneging on their agreement.\n\n“You can’t say we’re the exclusive, elite, 15-a-side men’s league in America, and then not support that,” he told me. “[At first], they didn’t offer me an exclusive arrangement. And I rejected it. I said I can’t do this without an exclusive arrangement. And [Nigel] said, ok we’re done. And he came back two weeks later with the exclusive arrangement.”\n\nWhen reached for comment for this story, USA Rugby’s statement was consistent with its stance from the beginning: “We are honoring the current three-year term of the sanctioning agreement as written and agreed to by both organizations.” From their perspective, by not officially sanctioning the Major Rugby Championship or PRO12, USA Rugby has technically lived up to the terms of the contract. Meanwhile, Schoninger sees this as merely a loophole to get out of the agreement.\n\nAnd therein lies the feud.\n\nSo, where does the league go from here?\n\nWhen asked if there would be a PRO season in 2017, Schoninger responded, “One hundred percent. How it will look? We’ll see. It may take the form of an all-star competition, playing against some international clubs or unions.” At the least, fans can expect a shorter season than in 2016.\n\nIt’s not what was expected, and it certainly puts a damper on the hopes for PRO’s future, though American rugby enthusiasts may be able to squeeze a little positivity out of the reports: If there’s only one domestic professional match in 2017, that is one more pro match than was ever played in the States before 2016.\n\nThere’s still reason to believe that America will find its foothold in World Rugby’s professional landscape.\n\nWhen that hold is firm, and whose foot is in it, however, remains to be seen.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5855, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4a42cbbf9ea5b9129046e44b0424a73fd60d77f5", "raw_chars": 3409, "clean_chars": 3409, "edit_ratio": 0.017, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"I'm the man who just paid 200 rugby players that have never been paid before.

Then in mid-December the bad press started rolling in: First, there was the fold of one PRO's five teams, the San Francisco Rush. Shortly after, PRO announced that all player contracts would be terminated. That was followed up by a report — since proven to be incorrect — that the league as a whole was shutting down.\n\nThe gas really hit the fire, though, when \"PRO's Outstanding Bills at Forefront of USA Rugby Row\" was published by Rugby Today on December 21st. The article accused Schoninger of not paying players and staffers across the league, as well of a history of liens against his credit — all of which Schoninger vehemently denied, with hard proof to point to.\n\nSeveral PRO players were reached for comment on their payment situations for this article, and — while wishing to remain anonymous — all of them confirmed to me they'd been paid in full the money owed to them as of this writing. Schoninger, for his part, maintains that any disputes are the outliers and will be taken to the appropriate venue to be resolved, while players and staffers who were mentioned publicly in these issues were not available for comment.\n\nEven the highest profile case of these disagreements, that of veteran New Zealand All Blacks star Mils Mulaina (who is short $20,000 of the $70,000 contract he signed with PRO Rugby), is more complicated than the numbers suggest: Mulaina only played in 4 games for the league, out of a possible 12 (he left the country during the season, which caused him to miss a game, and was injured for the other seven). \"If you're hurt, then you go into disability,\" Schoninger explained. \"He's now on disability in the state of California. It's completely in the [hands of] the workmen's compensation department of the state of California. I don't understand the issue. Every other player that was hurt, and was on disability for more than a week, went into disability.\"\n\nRegardless, USA Rugby has been in strong support of the players and staffers when it comes to their finance-related disputes with PRO. \"My thoughts are with the players and staff during this time,\" said USA Rugby CEO Dan Payne via email — an intentionally curt, and politically savvy, way of emphasizing where his organization believes blame ultimately lies.\n\nCouple that with an even more contentious (and complex) disputed sanctioning agreement, and the PRO/USA Rugby divorce is all but signed in ink.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5866, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "3cd47055feac20ca3591b7934c0f2fa500de8d2b", "raw_chars": 1750, "clean_chars": 1724, "edit_ratio": 0.0104, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "One Motorola Mobility is worth 100 Zagats.

Let’s be clear: We don’t have a cure. Each year, there are 40,000 new infections in the United States – mostly gay and bisexual men of color in the south. The good news is that we have tools besides condoms to fight this disease. There are antivirals to treat people who are HIV positive; when people are on medication and are virally suppressed, they cannot transmit the virus. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an antiviral that prevents HIV-negative people from acquiring HIV. It’s close to 100 percent effective when taken on a daily basis.\n\nDespite these advances, only about 40 percent of Americans who are HIV positive are virally suppressed, and only 10 percent of HIV-negative gay men are on PrEP. It’s shortsighted of us to expect a new generation of gay men to worry about HIV the way my generation did. While it’s still a problem, it’s not a death sentence. Public health needs to play a key role in determining how we ensure that we get these tools in the hands of health care providers and remove the impediment for people to access these powerful tools.\n\nMembers of the media interested in interviewing Perry Halkitis can contact Patti Verbanas at 848-932-0551 or patti.verbanas@rutgers.edu", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5899, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "34cddbe0f3ec4a790818583da8ac81786eccd74a", "raw_chars": 2960, "clean_chars": 2894, "edit_ratio": 0.1872, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Alex Moazed, founder and CEO of Applico, defines a platform as a business model that creates value by facilitating exchanges between two or more interdependent groups, usually consumers and producers of a given value. As a result of digital transformation, it has become the predominant business model of the 21st century.\n\nIn an op-ed on MarketWatch, Choudary, Van Alstyne, and Parker further explain how business models are shifting from pipes to platforms, leading to the disruption of entire industries.\n\nThere are three elements to a successful platform business model. The Toolbox creates connection by making it easy for others to plug into the platform, providing the infrastructure that enables interactions between participants. The Magnet creates pull that attracts participants to the platform; for transaction platforms, both producers and consumers must be present to achieve critical mass. The Matchmaker fosters the flow of value by making connections between producers and consumers. Data is at the heart of successful matchmaking and distinguishes platforms from other business models.\n\nChen (2009) stated that the business model has to take into account the capabilities of Web 2.0, such as collective intelligence, network effects, user-generated content, and the possibility of self-improving systems. He suggested that the service industry, including the airline, traffic, transportation, hotel, restaurant, information and communications technology, and online gaming sectors, will be able to benefit from adopting business models that take into account the characteristics of Web 2.0. He also emphasized that Business Model 2.0 has to take into account not just the technology effect of Web 2.0 but also the networking effect. He gave the example of the success story of Amazon, which makes huge revenues each year by developing an open platform that supports a community of companies that re-use Amazon's on-demand commerce services.\n\nMalone et al. found that some business models, as defined by them, indeed performed better than others in a dataset consisting of the largest U.S. firms during the period from 1998 through 2002, although they did not prove whether the existence of a business model mattered.\n\nIn the healthcare space, and in particular in companies that leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence, the design of business models is particularly challenging as there are a multitude of value creation mechanisms and a multitude of possible stakeholders. An emerging categorization has identified seven archetypes.\n\nIn the context of the Software-Cluster, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, a business model wizard for software companies has been developed.

It took more than a decade to find something real to wear as a costume.\n\nIn a souk in Marrakech, I met a man wearing a robe similar to the ones I had been eyeing. He asked how much I had to spend. I told him only 350 dirham, but I had no desire to buy a costume. \"These aren't costumes,\" he corrected me as we left the shop and took an elaborate path towards what felt like the medina's inner sanctum. An hour later, I had spent 300 dirham for a sand-colored djellaba, which hung down below my ankles, and 70 for yellow babouche. The shopkeeper indicated that I should pick out a hat. I reached for a fez. He shook his head. \"That's for tourists. It doesn't go with this djellaba.\" Ahmed, the man who brought me, put a taqiyah in my hands. His unflappable demeanor became a little bit crushed when I began folding up my new garments. \"Aren't you going to wear it?\" he asked.\n\nAs I unfurled the robe over my cargo shorts and t-shirt, my shoulders seemed to straighten. I walked slowly, ponderously. Ahmed pulled the baggy hood over my head. For the rest of the afternoon, I slipped through the medina without a second look. It was a kind of camouflage. I ended up drinking tea with Ahmed several times that week. He fed me a complex background story for the Berber from the Atlas Mountains.\n\nBut if you had to truthfully categorize my Berber, it was a last-minute costume. The djellaba had been abandoned in my closet for a couple of years, until a last-minute Halloween invitation that required more than a token effort at costume. I left the prayer cap at home that night, and didn't correct anyone who assumed it was a Star Wars thing. I also felt the most visceral sense of a soul I had encountered since Morocco.\n\nIt was out of laziness that the Berber from the Atlas Mountains reappeared the next year. I took on more of Ahmed's mannerisms this time. I began adding lines of dialogue right out of the medina, filling in the blanks with Wikipedia and Alberto Ruy Sanchez poetry.\n\nAnd so as the character was brought more vividly to life each year, I learned to make pumpkin tagine and use the Obi-Wan hood to smuggle miniature Coffee Crisps.

(You could see tables and stools and giant pyramids of saffron fly left and right in their furious wake.) \"Chase and chase and chase...and chase,\" Ahmed would shriek, \"until finally the mouse find the place in the wall where the paw of the cat cannot reach...what do you call it?\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5904, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "dcd0d0b6845a7a3f70e9d1a349b1fcb45333dff3", "raw_chars": 3469, "clean_chars": 3499, "edit_ratio": 0.3967, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I recently purchased AT&T DSL service and documented their frustratingly over-engineered registration process. In short, a simple web-form system should not end up installing Internet Explorer 8 for you. This is particularly interesting because no lean startup would ever do this, yet we are not particularly surprised when a large company flushes dollars down the toilet in this manner.\n\nWhen AT&T activated my service and I received the DSL modem and a manual in the mail, I assumed it would be a quick five-minute process. Configuring the modem itself was straightforward and went smoothly. Once the modem was configured, I pulled up a browser, which automatically redirected me to an AT&T registration page.\n\nThe landing page was a bit too flashy; it automatically played audio instructions in the background, basically telling me to hit the \"next\" button. They informed me that I needed to supply some information to AT&T, and in return, they would give me a username and password to add to the modem's configuration, which would allow me to access the internet. The obvious approach was a simple HTML web form.\n\nInstead, when I hit next, there was a five-minute pause as AT&T's website \"checked my system.\" Why this took five minutes was beyond me. It then complained that my browser was not supported. I use Chrome on Ubuntu, which is an obscure setup, so fair enough, I decided to switch to Firefox. Wrong. It required an ActiveX control, a way to run native code on my machine. Who still uses ActiveX? It is 2011. Does AT&T also send smoke signals from one department to another to announce the results of their fancy abacus calculations? This meant I had to find a Windows box and use Internet Explorer. Why? For a web form? Ridiculous, but okay, another hoop to jump through.\n\nSo, I booted into an old computer running Windows XP. I launched whatever version of IE was on it, which had never been used, endured the flashy landing page again, waited another five minutes for the website to \"Check My System,\" and then waited another five minutes for it to download and run some sort of ActiveX control. I was getting frustrated by this point because what should have been just a simple platform- and browser-independent web form had turned into some kind of ridiculous circus. Now, the ActiveX controller informed me that my version of IE wasn't good enough!\n\nI was livid. But luckily, the ActiveX controller would download a new version of IE for me. Well, that is a nice touch, I guess, although ridiculous in its own way; a simple web form now necessitates complicated contingency considerations.\n\nNot inspiring confidence in the speed or consistency of my newly acquired broadband connection, it took forever to download the new browser version and froze once or twice. When it froze, I had to restart the browser and re-endure the five-minute checking process before the ActiveX controller chided me for my ancient version of IE.\n\nFinally, it was done. It warned me before it installed IE 8 that AT&T might also include some bundled crapware (I didn't notice any, though). Then it installed, rebooted my computer, and I went back to the flashy landing page. I waited five minutes for it to analyze my system and another five minutes for the ActiveX control to load.\n\nAnd finally... what magical delights awaited me?

She married Albert Parsons, a former Confederate soldier who became a radical labor organizer. I was stunned to learn that she did not die until 1942 and is buried near the Haymarket martyrs in Chicago. The lesson I take from the lives of this remarkable couple is that one of the first benefits to all workers resulting from the end of slavery—and even though it required much more struggle—was the establishment of the eight-hour day.\n\nNumerous books on the contributions and achievements of African American women rarely, if ever, mention Lucy Parsons.

The advice to \"shoot or stab them\" got the anarchist agitator arrested whenever she tried to speak in public. Lucy's husband was among those anarchists framed and executed for the infamous 1886 Haymarket bombing. Lucy continued to advocate for labor rights and social change. Here is how Utah Phillips recounted the rest of the story:\n\n\"One time, she was speaking at a big May Day rally back in the Haymarket in the mid-1930s during the Depression. She was incredibly old. She was led carefully up to the rostrum, with a multitude of people there. She had her hair tied back in a tight white bun, her face a mass of deeply incised lines, and deep-set, beady black eyes. She was the image of everybody's great-grandmother. She hunched over that podium, hawk-like, and fixed that multitude with those beady black eyes, and said: 'What I want is for every greasy, grimy tramp to arm himself with a knife or a gun and station himself at the doorways of the rich, to shoot or stab them as they come out.'\"\n\nLest her zeal need a little explaining, Lucy Parsons made this declaration at the founding convention of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in 1905: \"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth.\"\n\nVery little remains of the pamphlets which Parsons published over the course of her life.

The data was sourced from HealthSherpa.com. Because the ACA prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, there is no need to develop a weighted average of these rates. Consequently, state-level rate changes were calculated by comparing the average cost of the five cheapest plans across all counties before and after the implementation of the ACA.\n\nSubsidy Beneficiaries\n\nTo tabulate the total number of potential subsidy beneficiaries, we utilized the University of Minnesota Population Center's Integrated Public Use Microdata (IPUMS) from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS). The 2012 March Economic Supplement served as our primary data source.\n\nIt is important to note that we opted not to use replicate weights; instead, we used standard person-weights while treating states as our strata. This decision was made because the improvement in standard errors achieved by using replicate weights was relatively minor, especially when considering the additional computation time required to implement them.\n\nIn determining eligibility for subsidies, we assumed a complete Medicaid expansion. Therefore, we excluded individuals below 139 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). Although the ACA expands Medicaid to 133 percent with a five percent income disregard—effectively covering up to 138 percent—we used 2012 income data and corresponding 2012 FPL cutoffs. While the ACA will ultimately use 2013 income to determine eligibility, this methodological choice should not materially affect the final results, as income growth in 2013 is generally accompanied by a corresponding increase in the federal poverty level.\n\nThe data is reported in two groups. The first column displays the number of uninsured, subsidy-eligible individuals as a percentage of the total uninsured population for each age group. The second column goes a step further: because individuals currently in the individual market may transition to the health insurance exchanges, we identified those currently purchasing individual health insurance who would be eligible for subsidies. We added this number to the total number of uninsured individuals eligible for subsidies and reported the sum as a percentage of the entire population for each age group.\n\nTo put it simply, the numerator and denominator for the first pie chart are the total number of uninsured potential subsidy beneficiaries and the total number of uninsured individuals above 138 percent of the FPL, respectively (to exclude those eligible for the Medicaid expansion). For the second pie chart, the numerator is the total number of insured eligible individuals in the individual market plus the number of uninsured potential subsidy beneficiaries, while the denominator is the total population. In most cases, this count excludes individuals in government programs. However, in the case of New York, the Healthy New York population will be transitioned to the exchanges and was therefore included in the count.\n\nAdditionally, we reported the data across five age groups: 20 and under; 21 to 30; 31 to 40; 41 to 50; and 51 and up. Lastly, we used Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) rather than Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) to determine subsidy eligibility.

He immediately traveled to Kiev with Tillerson, where they met with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and other key stakeholders.\n\nUkraine and Russia have been engaged in a violent conflict since 2014, following Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. The fighting has claimed approximately 10,000 lives. Volker is working to convince both sides to comply with the Minsk Agreement, a peace blueprint negotiated by France, Germany, Ukraine, and Russia. \"This conflict has been around for over three years, and there are still daily cease-fire violations,\" Volker said. \"There are still people dying. In fact, more people died in 2017 than in prior years. It's still an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.\"\n\nVolker brings extensive experience to the role. He has worked in the U.S. Foreign Service, served as a legislative fellow on the staff of Senator John McCain, acted as the director for European and Eurasian Affairs for the National Security Council, and was appointed U.S. ambassador to NATO by President George W. Bush in 2008.\n\nIn an interview with ASU Now between trips to Kiev, Volker discussed his appointment and strategy. When asked how Secretary Tillerson came to appoint him, Volker explained that he had met Tillerson on several occasions, both during Tillerson's preparation for his own confirmation hearing and since Tillerson became secretary of state. \"In getting to know him, he asked me if I would be willing to take on this role of giving a new impetus to the negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine,\" Volker said.\n\nRegarding the nature of his diplomatic work, Volker clarified that he is focused on traveling, meeting stakeholders, and finding solutions, rather than the granular task of scrubbing texts. \"The issue is fundamentally a political issue rather than a textual issue,\" he noted. \"The reason there is conflict in Ukraine is not that there is something wrong with the text. We need to tackle this issue at a strategic level, not a textual level.\"\n\nVolker detailed his meetings during the recent visit to Ukraine. He accompanied Secretary Tillerson and stayed on after his departure to meet with the president, prime minister, several members of parliament, various ambassadors, civil society organizations, the Red Cross, and the International Organization for Migration. He also held meetings at the U.S. Embassy with Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. \"I had a lot of meetings to understand who all the players are in Ukraine and to touch base with them directly and understand the shape of the conflict and what's been done already,\" he explained.\n\nLooking ahead, Volker indicated that he will travel frequently to carry out his responsibilities.

Lockheed Martin jointly runs the Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) and holds a £5.3 billion contract with the government to develop new weapons of mass destruction there.\n\nWoodin has provided four reasons for her refusal to complete the census. First, she cites the link with Lockheed Martin, which she learned about while printing a leaflet at the Oxford Greenprint Workers Co-op, of which she is a member. Second, she disputes the statement on the front of the form claiming that census information will be used to help decide where schools and hospitals should be built. \"I wish this were true, but these decisions are driven by money, not need,\" she noted, referencing her experience on local councils. Third, she objects to the number of questions that seem related only to \"big brother\" monitoring, such as those asking about religion and nationality. Fourth, she argues that the census in its current form is slated to be scrapped, as reported by the Daily Telegraph in June 2010. She believes it only proceeded this time because contracts had already been signed and heavy losses would have been incurred, acknowledging it as a hugely inefficient method of data collection.\n\nWoodin also shared her background: \"I was an active Green Party member for many years and have been a City and County Councillor for the Greens in Oxford.

Erdoğan allegedly hushed up the investigation, thwarted trial hearings, and eventually secured the release of all suspects from prison.\n\nThe operative is Orhan Yaşar, a 43-year-old man from the Suruç district of Turkey’s southeastern province of Şanlıurfa, located on the Turkish-Syrian border. He was involved in the scheme to kidnap and later release Turkish photojournalist Bünyamin Aygün of Milliyet daily from his captors in an al-Qaeda-affiliated armed group in Syria. Yaşar was investigated as part of confidential investigation file No. 2012/1361, launched by the Office of the Public Prosecutor in the eastern province of Van in 2012.\n\nYaşar was detained during a sweeping al-Qaeda operation on January 14, 2014, and formally arrested a few days later. He and other suspects in the case were indicted in July 2014. However, Yaşar was released pending trial at the first hearing before the Van No. 3 High Criminal Court on August 6, 2014. In his testimony to the court, he denied any involvement with al-Qaeda, claiming he was a businessman trading in textiles in Syria. Yaşar did not appear at the next trial hearing on October 28, 2014, and became a fugitive in the case.\n\nThe release of Yaşar made little sense given that one of the wiretap recordings in the case file revealed how he and his al-Qaeda cell leader were tipped off about the ongoing investigation and planned to flee Turkey before police detained them in January 2014. It is likely that the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MİT) learned about the police investigation file and passed that information to the al-Qaeda suspects. Once the prosecutor was alerted by investigators that the suspects were aware of the probe, he ordered their detention to prevent them from escaping the country.\n\nThere are five wiretap recordings in the investigation file that reveal how Yaşar was involved in the abduction of foreign nationals by al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadist groups in Syria. After securing wiretap authorizations from a judge, investigators listened to his communications with other al-Qaeda suspects. He was operating in a cell led by İbrahim Şen, a former Guantanamo detainee and convicted senior al-Qaeda militant, who had been working with the Turkish Intelligence Organization (MİT) to move arms, funds, and supplies to jihadist groups in Syria.\n\nIn several recordings, Yaşar spoke with Şen and a man named Sadullah Alyo about what they termed \"kaldırma,\" which means abduction in Turkish. Yaşar also discussed the financial needs of al-Qaeda, how to raise funds, and how to transfer them to al-Qaeda in Syria. He stated that the Turkish intelligence agency MİT had been facilitating the transfer of jihadists to Syria and providing arms, funds, and logistical supplies to al-Qaeda groups.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5969, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "87efc2141a13b71337f0f40b7581232987cb1da9", "raw_chars": 961, "clean_chars": 971, "edit_ratio": 0.3054, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We could potentially modify the Excelsior JET Runtime to behave identically to HotSpot in the scenario described.

It called the oversized RFK Stadium home during that time and was looking for a new stadium in the city. Unfortunately, land in D.C. is hard to come by, so plans for a stadium in the industrial Buzzard Point neighborhood ballooned to a cost of $300 million. D.C. United was willing to pick up half of that, but it asked the city to cough up the rest to pay for parcels of land currently owned by businesses.\n\nNow, $150 million isn't unprecedented in MLS terms. Denver and Commerce City, Colorado, paid $174 million for the Colorado Rapids' suburban home.

It's getting a half-price deal on the costliest soccer-only stadium in the country because D.C. doesn't want the team to flee for the suburbs.

Labels can be terrifying, especially for people who are questioning. Even if they mention being interested in someone of the same gender, there is no need to use words like gay or bisexual. Let them be the one to use those terms when they are ready.\n\nSecond, avoid asking yes-or-no questions. Instead of asking direct questions, try to get them to open up a little bit. Sometimes, the mere act of saying the words aloud is enough to clarify hazy thoughts. Give them an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings.\n\nThird, listen, and then, if appropriate, advise. You may have been through a similar experience and feel a mighty urge to give advice. Hold back. Do not initially spew advice the moment they talk to you. Listen to them first. Then, after they have finished speaking, ask if you can share what was helpful for you. If they say yes, then feel free to advise lightly.\n\nFourth, realize their path is different. There may be many similarities between you and them, and you might have had identical thoughts when questioning. However, they did not grow up in your household or have the same friends. Their life is different, so treat it as such.\n\nFifth, do not hook up with them. This should not need to be said, but it is important because it has happened. Your friend is not coming to you to experiment. They are coming to you for help. Helping them does not mean taking advantage of a vulnerable and confused friend.\n\nSixth, do not push them in any direction. Encourage acceptance, open-mindedness, and exploration. Emphasize the importance of living without self-judgment. Do not push them in a \"straighter\" or \"gayer\" direction. That is not your job as a friend.\n\nSeventh, expand your concept of \"straightness.\" A straight person can acknowledge that a gay person is cute. That does not mean they are gay or bi. Let us push the limits of what straight can be. I would even go as far as to say that straight people can have a little crush on someone of the same sex and still consider themselves straight. A person's sexual identity should not change because of a single thought. That does not do any good for straight or LGBT folks.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 5965, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2bb41871fa3c02a2e37652390ac60f62da070576", "raw_chars": 3452, "clean_chars": 4212, "edit_ratio": 0.767, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Between 125 and 150 athletes are expected to participate in Arkansas' Advance Camp today.

LaGaryonn Carson, a 2017 defensive end from Liberty-Eylau in Texarkana, Texas, does not plan to work out, though several of his teammates will participate. Other attendees include 2017 defensive end Anthony Payne from Kansas City; 2017 wide receiver Jonathan Adams from Jonesboro, who has drawn strong interest from the Hogs; 2017 wide receiver Kentre Patterson from East Lansing, Michigan; offensive lineman Tom Killilea from Overland Park, Kansas; and athlete Kiondre Thomas from Northside in Fort Smith. Linebacker Deontre Hardwick is also attending from Northside. Blake Williams, a 2017 tight end from Mustang, Oklahoma, holds a North Carolina offer. Malcolm Roach, a defensive end from Madison in Baton Rouge, and David Beasley, a defensive back from Pine Bluff, are also on the list. Grant Morgan, a linebacker/football back from Greenwood, and B.J. Edmonds, a linebacker from St. Pauls in Mobile, Alabama, will be present. Offensive lineman Trey Smith from University in Jackson, Tennessee, has numerous offers and is considered a major target for the Hogs. Creed Humphrey from Shawnee, Oklahoma, and Alan Ali from Timber Creek in Fort Worth, Texas, are also listed. Andrew Clark, a defensive end from Southside in Fort Smith, and Monta Thomas, a 2017 athlete from Hermitage, are expected. Thomas is considered one of the top junior prospects in the state. Grayson Gunter, a tight end from Madison Central High School in Mississippi, has several offers. John Tate, a defensive lineman from Pine Bluff, stated he would not be able to make the trip. Michael Perry, a defensive lineman from Whitehaven in Memphis, has several offers and is seeking offers from the Hogs.\n\nAn update at 8:37 a.m. noted that athlete Brandon Northcross from Ashdown would be in Fayetteville for the camp. Jaden Hill, a 2018 quarterback from Ashdown, is a promising prospect standing 6'3\" and 190 pounds, but he is not participating due to recent surgery. Sanderson Hines, a 2017 offensive lineman from Robinson in Pulaski, and Nathan Page, a 2018 athlete from the same school, are also attending.\n\nBy 10:08 a.m., offensive lineman Justin Henderson from Denham Springs, Louisiana, was noted. Standing 6'7\" and 325 pounds, he has offers from Central Florida and Kent State and previously played with Hjalte Frofolund at IMG Academy before moving back home for the season. An update at 12:13 p.m. reported that highly recruited safety Isaiah Simmons from Olathe North in Kansas, who ran a 4.37 at 6'3\" and 207 pounds, is a strong candidate for an offer. LaDarius Daniels had an unofficial 4.40 time, while cornerback Donnie Lee ran a 4.47. Eli Hale from Fayetteville ran 4.77 and 4.78. All times were handheld.\n\nAt 12:38 p.m., athlete B.J. Edmonds from Mobile, Alabama, recorded a 4.30 and was expected to work with linebackers. Kiondre Thomas from Fort Smith Northside reportedly ran a 4.3, though the exact time was unconfirmed; his performance in one-on-one drills would determine if he received an offer. By 12:39 p.m., Thomas had a recorded time of 4.38 by at least one stopwatch.\n\nThe camp broke for lunch until 2:45 p.m. B.J. Edmonds worked with the running backs rather than the linebackers. Brandon Northcross ran 4.46 and 4.48, showing added upper body strength since the previous year. Tre Nation ran a 4.48. Damien McDonald, a 2017 defensive lineman from West Helena, ran a 5.09. Blake Williams arrived later to perform drills and was scheduled to test during the lunch break.\n\nAdditionally, Arkansas Baptist College had two highly regarded athletes at the camp: cornerback Donnie Lee, listed at 6'1\" and 200 pounds, and outside linebacker LaDarius Daniels, listed at 6'0\" and 207 pounds. Both were noted for their physical conditioning, and Arkansas had encouraged them to participate.

He was pictured waving alongside Benin's President Thomas Boni Yayi upon his arrival. However, the visit yielded results far less spectacular than anticipated. Before Ahmadinejad's trip to Niger, there had been speculation that the impoverished West African nation might add Iran to its list of buyers for uranium mined in its remote northern desert. Such a deal would have alarmed world powers eager to see Iran curb its opaque nuclear program. Instead, the trip concluded with agreements on visas for diplomats and health cooperation.\n\nAhmadinejad's final African tour before stepping down later that year highlighted how Iran's campaign to court the fast-growing continent has yielded remarkably little in terms of trade and United Nations votes against sanctions targeting its disputed nuclear activity over the past seven years. \"There is a general sense that Iran's influence in Africa is on the wane,\" said Manoah Esipisu, a Johannesburg-based Africa analyst. \"Iran means trouble with Washington and its allies, and there is little appetite for that.\"\n\nWith an economic growth rate forecast above 5 percent for the year despite a global slowdown, Africa is now attracting investment from around the world, allowing the continent to be more selective about its international partnerships. Burgeoning oil production from countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Chad, and Equatorial Guinea has also diminished the value of Tehran's chief economic bargaining chip. South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa's largest economy, had previously relied on Iran for a quarter of its oil imports but yielded to Western pressure last year to embargo Iranian oil exports, turning to other sources to secure its crude.\n\nKenya, an important Western ally in the fight against militant Islam in East Africa, also backtracked within days on a deal to import 4 million tonnes of Iranian oil last year after its allies expressed disapproval. South African Deputy Foreign Minister Ebrahim Ebrahim stated that he had told Tehran frankly that his country could no longer purchase Iranian oil to avoid running afoul of Western sanctions. \"I told them the United States is an important export market... We don't want a situation that will damage our economy,\" said Ebrahim, who had recently returned from Tehran. \"While we may appreciate and sympathise with them, there are certain realities that we need to take into consideration.\"\n\nMany developing states in principle support Iran's insistence on the right to enrich uranium for what it claims will be civilian nuclear energy only. However, they also feel Iran should heed United Nations demands for transparency in its nuclear work to help defuse fears that it is attempting to develop the means to produce atomic bombs. Last week's visit to Benin, Niger, and Ghana marked Ahmadinejad's fifth trip to the continent since he took office in 2005. Before the trip, he described relations with Africa as \"of paramount importance to Tehran.\" Yet Tehran's lobbying for votes at the United Nations Security Council has largely fallen on deaf ears.

On Tuesday, a woman in her early 30s reported the crime, which she says occurred last Wednesday on a section of the Washington and Old Dominion Trail in Sterling.\n\nAccording to police, the woman was walking on the trail when two men emerged from a wooded area, grabbed her, and pulled at her clothing. The woman believes the men intended to sexually assault her, but a bicyclist came along and they fled. The alleged attack happened around 8:30 p.m., when it was already dark.\n\nThe Sheriff's Office says the incident occurred only about 50 feet south of busy South Sterling Blvd., where many homes and businesses are nearby. The suspects are described as follows: the first suspect was a black male, 6'2\" tall, with a thin build, black curly hair, and wearing a black shirt. The second suspect was also a black male, slightly shorter, with a thin build, black curly hair, and wearing a gray shirt.\n\nOn Friday, August 26, police released a composite sketch of a suspect in the attack. The Sheriff's Office also emailed ABC7 a list of recommendations for people using the trail. These include always staying alert and aware of your surroundings, avoiding the use of earphones, and walking, running, or biking with a partner or group. Users are advised to let someone know their route and expected return time, and to use the trail when it is likely to have a higher volume of foot traffic. The office also recommends avoiding paths when it is dark outside, noting that the W & OD trail is officially closed after dark for safety and anyone on the trail after hours is considered to be trespassing.\n\nThis latest attack is one of several incidents that have taken place over the past couple of years on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail.

At best, one can only reach it from 4.5, the gap of nihilistic despair. This generally provokes anxiety, rage, and depression, and is not a good place to get stuck.\n\nAnd, little or no support is available for the 4.5 to 5 transition. Mostly you can only get to stage 5 through a rare combination of luck, intelligence, and endurance.\n\nThe nihilistic gap, STEM depression, and postrationalism\n\nMany of the people I care about most, and find most interesting, are STEM-educated refugees from ideological rationalism. They’ve mastered rationality, they’ve seen through it—and many now are stuck. Systems cannot provide them with meaning; but neither, it seems can anything else. Many fall into crippling nihilistic depression—a characteristic of stage 4.5. This is awful.\n\n4.5 is necessary en route to stage 5, but maybe it doesn’t need to be so horrible. One needs to become disillusioned and disappointed with rationalism, and then angry at it, and perhaps temporarily reject it altogether (in theory at least). Moving beyond any of the developmental stages involves a profound sense of loss: of one’s previously comfortable mode of making meaning. One’s meaning-making mode is always experienced as “the self,” and the new mode seems frighteningly alien—even though it is more powerful once mastered. The 4-to–5 transition is particularly difficult, as it appears no new meaning is possible even in principle, which implies you are nothing, and have no value.\n\nHowever, if you understand that meaning re-emerges at stage 5—or can accept this, based on plausible testimony—then you need not descend into despair.\n\nRecently, there has been an exodus from the rationalist movement, and some exiles have loosely grouped under the banner of “postrationalism.” (For an informal review, see Darcey Riley’s 2014 post and the reader comments on it. More recent contributions are from Sarah Perry and Warg Franklin.) Postrationalism is an early work-in-progress, whose meaning is as yet unclear, but seems to have much in common with Kegan’s stage 5, and with the complete stance as I describe it in Meaningness .\n\n(I’m a little wary of the term “postrational,” because it might be misunderstood as a rejection of rationality, in favor of something irrational. That describes stage 3 Romanticism. Kegan’s stage 5, the complete stance, and—so far as I understand it—postrationalism do not abandon rationality. They deploy rationality as a miscellaneous collection of oft-useful tools, rather than The Single Correct Way To Do Everything. I’m using “meta-rational”—just in this post, so far—as an experimental alternative, meant to suggest that. However, the problem with “meta-rational” is that it may be misunderstood as “applying systematic rationality to itself.” That is not stage 5; it’s just an extra-fancy version of stage 4. Elsewhere I am using the word “fluid”; I’m not sure whether that’s better.)\n\nThe current adult developmental landscape\n\nThis diagram summarizes past, current, and potential future ways beyond stage 3.

It plays a crucial role in reward, addiction, aggression, and fear. Based on its neural makeup, projections, and functions, the NAc is divided into two regions: the core and the shell.\n\nIn the present study, we further explored the role of the NAc in the sleep-wake cycle and sleep homeostasis by ablating the NAc core and shell, respectively, and examining the arousal response following modafinil administration. We found that discrete NAc core and shell lesions produced a 26.5% and 17.4% increase in total wakefulness per day, respectively, along with sleep fragmentation and a reduced sleep rebound after a 6-hour sleep deprivation compared to controls. Finally, NAc core lesions, but not shell lesions, eliminated the arousal effects of modafinil.\n\nWe have previously shown that modafinil promotes wakefulness via dopamine receptor D1 and D2; however, the locus where dopamine acts has not been identified. We proposed that the nucleus accumbens, which receives ventral tegmental area dopamine inputs, plays an important role not only in reward and addiction but also in the sleep-wake cycle and in mediating modafinil-induced arousal.\n\nIn the present study, we selectively lesioned the NAc core and shell in rats and examined their basal sleep-wake changes, sleep rebound after 6 hours of sleep deprivation, and arousal response following modafinil administration. We found that both NAc core and shell lesions increased wakefulness, but core lesions had a bigger arousal effect, and that both lesions reduced sleep rebound after 6-hour sleep deprivation. NAc core lesions, but not NAc shell lesions, blocked the arousal response to modafinil.\n\nModafinil is one of the most popular stimulants. Dopamine transporter knockout mice show elevated extracellular dopamine and a blunt arousal response following modafinil administration but not caffeine administration, indicating that the dopamine system mediates the arousal effects of modafinil. Our recent study further demonstrated that both dopamine D1 and D2 receptors are involved in the regulation of modafinil-induced arousal. However, the neuronal circuitry that mediates arousal from dopamine and modafinil has not been identified. We hypothesized that the NAc, innervated by ventral tegmental area dopaminergic neurons, mediates arousal induced by modafinil.\n\nOur previous lesion studies showed that NAc lesions by ibotenic acid caused a significant increase in the amount of wakefulness by an average of 27% across the day-night cycle. The wake increase was accompanied by sleep fragmentation, characterized by frequent sleep-wake transitions and short sleep bout durations. These results reveal a novel role of the NAc in sleep-wake regulation. However, because the NAc lesions were mostly confined to the NAc core and in light of a recent study showing that NAc shell adenosine A2A receptors mediated the arousal effects of caffeine, it is crucial to investigate if the NAc shell is also involved in sleep-wake regulation.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6010, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "74bf1fd94637e850e7d9effe23bca1d9d92f7a7d", "raw_chars": 3340, "clean_chars": 3340, "edit_ratio": 0.0003, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Pyrrha sat in thought for a time, pondering a name for a weapon she had only used to fight a dying Grimm and a grieving man.

Why did it have to happen like this, with so much pain and loss? \"And... I'll finish that up in a minute, I need to take care of something,\" Ruby stated, shuffling away uneasily.\n\n\"It's ok, take all the time you need,\" Ren offered.\n\nNodding, Ruby turned to confront the disquiet in her heart. She watched the woman while marching toward her, noting the way she looked over her weapons. Almost like she was searching for something to grab hold of. Ruby walked quietly toward her, replaying yesterday over in her head, trying to forgive herself for the callousness she had been forced to wear. I don't want to become someone I wouldn't recognize, even for everyone else, she grimly thought. Stopping just within earshot, Ruby prepared to announce herself and face her own inner demons.\n\n\"Thnitos,\" a word that Ruby shied away from exited Pyrrha's mouth. It felt familiar, like the touch of cold steel to bare skin. Unwanted, but used. \"Athanatos,\" Pyrrha stated, louder than before and pulling Ruby more upright, filling her with a warmth akin to her closest companions. She stood there as Pyrrha sat back and gazed across the pool, staring into the expanse of the forest before them. How could she always stay so strong when the rest of it was crumbling? Ruby found an envy of somebody that she only passingly knew and wished was more a part of her.\n\n\"Hey, mind if I join you?\" Ruby asked as she stepped up. The white clad woman looked at her with a soft expression, letting warmth flow from her face as she nodded her answer. Ruby took up a seat on a nearby rock, settling with a thump. \"I... wanted to talk about what's been happening. All of this madness, everything that's gone wrong.\"\n\n\"I'm not sure what I can tell you that you don't already know, but I'll try,\" Pyrrha had a downcast look as she spoke.\n\n\"Jaune spoke of... a pod. And a woman inside another one connected to it?\"\n\n\"Yes, I'd been there before and it wasn't supposed to be something anyone knew about.\"\n\n\"Why were you there in the first place?\" Ruby felt a flush on her face as she spoke.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6010, "chunk_idx": 11, "raw_sha1": "f9db44de453397114c86a3c40b1bb4f108a72630", "raw_chars": 3107, "clean_chars": 3107, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On they fought, dividing the monster's attention and chipping away at its considerable defense.

The spearhead disappeared into black fur, then the haft driving further in until it stopped with a clank. The Ursa straightened and let out a final snarl before toppling over trying to turn on them. Pyrrha wrenched Thnitos free, letting the fatigue settle into her body from the fight.\n\n\"Are you ok?\" Ren asked with critical eyes.\n\n\"Yeah... sorry. For not trying to follow the plan.\"\n\nThe man simply took her arm, draping it across his shoulder and bearing the bulk of her weight as they began moving toward the center of the line. Pyrrha let herself be pulled along, finding her solace in the rhythm of travel. A blast in the air took her out of her own mind, as she looked up to where it had originated. A pink cloud hung in the air a fair distance away from where she and Ren were. Looking back toward Ren, they shared the weight that came with their shared profession. Pyrrha shrugged off Ren's help, opting to ignore her body's protests and push ahead. Taking the lead, she began to trot after the site of the smokey cloud. Behind them a mist of white flecks floated gently up to the sky, seemingly at peace.\n\nJaune kept his eyes set forward as he traveled over rough terrain, keeping up a heady pace to try and get back to Nora.

Ruby hadn't come over to his path and he'd been about ready to pack it in when the grenade burst forced his attention back to his team. He glanced behind him, searching for the sprightly young girl who'd be able to relay anything he could think of.\n\nSearching in vain, Jaune turned back to his thoughts. At the very least we know where the end of this trek is. A village, big one by the look of the wall. He wasn't sure whether it was ill timing or providence that he'd spotted the wall moments before the signal had sounded. His grip tightened on the hilt of his sword, preparing for the inevitability of conflict. Closing in on the road, Jaune let his mind empty and burst from the treeline. Frantically running his eyes up and down the road, he set his sight on the scene he'd honestly expected.\n\nStanding with a grin plastered from ear to ear, Nora was surrounded by craters dotted in a semi circle pattern. Her hammer held aloft on her shoulder, Jaune managed to catch her eyes sparkling with a joy more common with children than Huntresses. Sheathing his weapon, he took a more relaxed look around.

Flowers and cake delivered to the wrong address, flowers in the wrong color, a band showing up at the wrong venue, or a DJ who fails to show up or call. Wedding guests arriving at a reception venue only to find it locked up are all true stories I have heard. Catering can be a whole different level of disaster.

The difference between a smooth wedding and a disaster is planning. I will admit that some brides can handle it themselves. I have seen a bride and mother combination that could coordinate supplies for an invading army without a single glitch. It can be done, but not everyone has the time or the obsessive attention to detail required to do it well.\n\nI have always advised brides that having a wedding planner—a good one, specifically—will save them time, blood, sweat, and tears. Lots of tears. One of those really good wedding planners I have worked with is Desana Turner. She pays close attention to details. On March 1st, I photographed Rosemary and Michael's wedding.

There is significant variation among people in how they perform on these tests, and these differences can be attributed to genetic and environmental factors, as well as their interplay.\n\nIn research published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), we present three genetic variants in humans that can account for a couple of IQ points. However, before getting excited, it is important to note that these are only three variants out of likely thousands.\n\nThe Genetics of Cognitive Performance\n\nWhile the concept of \"intelligence\" can be controversial, cognitive performance scores are widely used due to their predictive ability. Educational attainment, income, job performance, and health are all correlated with cognitive performance.\n\nBy comparing cognitive performance between family members, including comparisons between identical and non-identical twins, scientists can quantify the contribution of genetic and environmental causes to individual differences. Decades of research have shown that genetic factors account for about half of the causes of individual differences in cognitive performance, and recent studies using unrelated individuals have confirmed that a substantial proportion of these differences is due to genetic factors.\n\nWe now know that cognitive performance is heritable, but where are the genes? Despite considerable efforts to find genes for cognitive performance, no specific genes had been found and replicated.\n\nOne reason for this puzzle is that many genes are involved—thousands, even—and their individual effect sizes are tiny. Past studies could not find them because sample sizes were not large enough to detect genes with statistical significance.\n\nSo how did we overcome this problem?\n\nLast year, a massive international collaborative study of more than 126,000 people correlated millions of genetic variants with educational attainment and discovered three genetic variants associated with it. Since educational attainment is correlated with cognitive performance, we tested these genetic variants for education attainment against their associations with cognitive performance, which we report in PNAS today.\n\nWe tested 69 genetic variants from the educational attainment study (involving almost 107,000 people) in independent samples of 24,000 people who had a cognitive performance score. This two-stage strategy is called a \"proxy-phenotype method\" because educational attainment serves as a proxy phenotype—an observable characteristic or trait—for cognitive performance.\n\nThe essence of this design was to piggyback on a much larger study of a correlated trait (educational attainment) to pre-select a small number of genetic variants. These were then tested for association with cognitive performance, much like leveraging a large study on the genetics of weight to find genes for diabetes.\n\nThree Genetic Variants (Out of Thousands)\n\nPreviously, using a genome-wide study in a sample of 18,000 individuals, we could not identify a single genetic variant associated with cognitive performance. Using the new proxy strategy, however, we identified three genetic variants associated with cognitive performance.

The method encodes binary bits into the cards, usually resulting in many more bits of data being stored than there are cards. Depending on the nature of the particular bits being encoded, it can store from 52 to 1,378 bits of data. I have no idea if this method already exists, but I haven't seen it anywhere else.\n\nThe method can also be used to encode letters of the alphabet (English or otherwise) in a way that, on average, fewer than two cards are needed to represent one letter. In more straightforward methods these would be impossible. My method also means that the data can be encrypted within the cards to the security level of a one-time pad. The concept can be used outside of the world of cards in any collection of items that has a set order, such as numbers or the alphabet. [Note from 2016: When I first thought of the idea, I didn't really put much thought into the non-card uses of the Implied Card concept. Now I think that using it with plain numbers is actually the most interesting aspect. See the last section for this, here.] Having a vague understanding of binary will help in understanding the following explanations.\n\nThe basis of my ideas here treat each card as a binary \"bit\". In this way each card represents either a one or a zero. There are two related methods: the Basic Implied Card Method and the Recursive Implied Card Method. The Basic Implied Card Method is more straightforward to encode and decode with, but has a slightly lower capacity for storing data.\n\nThis method involves having a set order for a pack of cards. Each card's position in the pack represents a 1 or 0. If the card is absent from its position, then there is an implied 0; if the card is present then it represents a 1. As we know the order of the pack we can tell if a card is absent. As an example, if the second card of a pack is absent, but the first, third and fourth are present, then the binary bits represented are 1, 0, 1, 1.

Officials stated that Marquez told investigators he and Farook were on a path to radicalization as early as 2011. That same year, Marquez purchased the first of two rifles for Farook. Although Marquez gave the rifles to Farook shortly after buying them, he did not report the transfer of ownership, two law enforcement officials said on Tuesday. Such transactions could constitute a violation of California law, the officials noted.\n\nHeavily armed FBI agents descended on Marquez's home on Tomlinson Avenue in Riverside early Saturday to serve a search warrant, waking neighbors with a bullhorn announcement for the occupants to come to the door. Agents ultimately forced entry through the garage. They returned a day later for a consensual search to retrieve items not covered in the scope of the warrant, according to a law enforcement official.\n\nAgents also visited the Walmart store in Corona where Marquez worked. A spokesman for the retailer said Marquez had worked there since May, but \"the decision has been made to terminate him.\" A co-worker, who asked not to be named, said she was interviewed twice by FBI agents earlier in the week. The agents asked about Marquez's personality and interests. In a brief interview with CNN, she said she told investigators she had no knowledge of Marquez using weapons or having any link to the killers, whom she did not know. She did not associate with Marquez outside of work, she said.\n\nNeighbors of the Tomlinson Avenue homes, where Marquez and Farook lived next door to one another, recalled the two working on cars together but did not know whether their relationship extended beyond that shared interest. One neighbor, who asked not to be named, said Marquez seemed like a nice young man. \"He was a good guy,\" the neighbor said. Another neighbor, Freddy Escamilla, said he had recently run into Marquez on the street and that he was typically subdued, nodding hello but not saying much. \"He never really talked to anyone,\" Escamilla said, adding that he was \"really introverted. Very introverted.\"\n\nMarquez converted to Islam and attended mosque sermons on and off for a couple of years, said Azmi Hasan, who has served as facility manager of the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco since 2000. Hasan said Marquez acted goofy, describing one instance when he saw him outside the mosque laughing out loud to himself. When approached by Hasan about what was so funny, Marquez said he wasn't laughing. Hasan said Marquez attended sermons by himself but stopped coming about two years ago. He said he ran into Marquez, whom he recalled as quiet and introverted, at a party and asked why he hadn't been coming to sermons more often. When questioned about his absence, Marquez would say he was busy, according to Hasan. At one point, Hasan said, Marquez responded that Islam was not working for him. Hasan said Syed Rizwan Farook's sister and brother-in-law also attended the mosque, but he had never seen Marquez in their company.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6075, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "386bafd6aa169403b628555cfb05f1d88159608c", "raw_chars": 1073, "clean_chars": 1085, "edit_ratio": 0.5042, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Federal health officials reported on Wednesday that the number of infections Americans acquire during hospital stays has declined substantially over the last decade, as hospitals have worked to improve their practices and the role of nursing homes in medical care has grown.\n\nAccording to the report, there were approximately 722,000 hospital infections in 2011, a figure far lower than past estimates that placed the annual number around 1.7 million.

He's a fantastic talent and a great player. We pushed on for him.

The first was Tottenham slipping from third to fourth in the Premier League, thus failing to guarantee their place in the Champions League. The second was Chelsea winning the Champions League to take the fourth and final qualification spot from Tottenham, despite finishing sixth in the league. Hazard had been excited by the possibility of playing with Gareth Bale at Tottenham, but his mind was made up once Chelsea became European champions.\n\nRedknapp tells the tale to illustrate just how difficult it is to compete for the top players with clubs such as Chelsea, and is adamant that keeping QPR in the Premier League this season is a tougher challenge than Jose Mourinho winning the title.\n\n\"Every year I look at the manager-of-the-year awards and, when I see the people who win it at the big clubs, I think it should be given to a Tony Pulis or a Steve Bruce,\" Redknapp said. \"It's too easy to vote for one of the teams that have got everything.

You don't have to be a genius, you just have to have the 30-odd million he cost.\"\n\nAlthough Redknapp feels that British managers do not get the same opportunities with what he calls the \"great teams\", he has no doubts about the pedigree of Mourinho and believes the self-styled 'Special One' could go down as the greatest manager in history. \"He's proved that he's a fantastic manager wherever he has been,\" Redknapp said. \"He's going to be in the game for many years to come and he could end up as the greatest manager of all time, but he is not going to walk into a team in the bottom four or five at the moment and turn them into a top-six team. That's not going to happen, as clever as he might be – and he is very clever.\"\n\n\"He's got a charisma and a great knowledge of the game. I couldn't fault him.

Then, over the course of the next few decades, public funding for higher education was slashed. These radical cuts forced universities to raise tuition year after year, which in turn forced the millennial generation to take on crushing educational debt loads, and everyone lived unhappily ever after.\n\nThis is the story college administrators like to tell when they’re asked to explain why, over the past 35 years, college tuition at public universities has nearly quadrupled, to $9,139 in 2014 dollars. It is a fairy tale in the worst sense, in that it is not merely false, but rather almost the inverse of the truth.\n\nThe conventional wisdom was reflected in a recent National Public Radio series on the cost of college. “So it’s not that colleges are spending more money to educate students,” Sandy Baum of the Urban Institute told NPR. “It’s that they have to get that money from someplace to replace their lost state funding — and that’s from tuition and fees from students and families.”\n\nIn fact, public investment in higher education in America is vastly larger today, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than it was during the supposed golden age of public funding in the 1960s. Such spending has increased at a much faster rate than government spending in general. For example, the military’s budget is about 1.8 times higher today than it was in 1960, while legislative appropriations to higher education are more than 10 times higher.\n\nIn other words, far from being caused by funding cuts, the astonishing rise in college tuition correlates closely with a huge increase in public subsidies for higher education. If over the past three decades car prices had gone up as fast as tuition, the average new car would cost more than $80,000.\n\nSome of this increased spending in education has been driven by a sharp rise in the percentage of Americans who go to college. While the college-age population has not increased since the tail end of the baby boom, the percentage of the population enrolled in college has risen significantly, especially in the last 20 years. Enrollment in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs has increased by almost 50 percent since 1995. As a consequence, while state legislative appropriations for higher education have risen much faster than inflation, total state appropriations per student are somewhat lower than they were at their peak in 1990. (Appropriations per student are much higher now than they were in the 1960s and 1970s, when tuition was a small fraction of what it is today.)\n\nAs the baby boomers reached college age, state appropriations to higher education skyrocketed, increasing more than fourfold in today’s dollars, from $11.1 billion in 1960 to $48.2 billion in 1975. By 1980, state funding for higher education had increased a mind-boggling 390 percent in real terms over the previous 20 years.

This attack was first spotted on major social networking platforms such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, which have long served as the primary hunting grounds for the Koobface gang.\n\nThe attack typically begins when users receive messages from their friends, directing them to an online video. Lures such as \"Is it you in this video?\" have been observed in these messages. The included link leads to a fake YouTube page displaying a video thumbnail. Clicking the thumbnail launches a Java applet that users are prompted to accept.\n\nThis applet exploits a remote code execution vulnerability present in outdated versions of Java and checks the visitor's operating system. Based on this determination, the appropriate version of the Koobface worm is installed automatically, requiring no further interaction from the victim.\n\nKoobface is widely considered the progenitor of social networking worms, and its authors are constantly developing new methods to evade detection and make the threat more resilient. Once installed on a computer, the worm hijacks the social networking accounts of its owner and uses them to propagate further.\n\nInfected systems join together to form a botnet and contact a command and control server, from which they receive instructions. According to Jerome Segura, a security researcher at ParetoLogic who analyzed the attack, the Linux version of Koobface is attached to a Java applet called jnana.tsa.\n\nThe applet is dropped into the user's home directory and stops running upon computer reboot. This means that on Linux, unlike on Windows, Koobface infections are temporary. However, Linux computers tend to stay online much longer than Windows machines, which gives attackers enough time to use them for malicious purposes.\n\nThe attack is further limited by the fact that many consumer-oriented Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, do not come with Java installed by default. Nevertheless, the news may be disappointing to many Linux and macOS users who seem to believe that malware does not affect these operating systems. Researchers have repeatedly advised that as the market share of these platforms increases, malware authors will begin viewing them as attractive targets.\n\nAn update on October 29 corrected the initial description of the attack, clarifying that it is not a drive-by download but requires user interaction.

This study gives us a strong basis for attempting to do this in humans. There have been some studies in humans with probiotics, although they have been very limited.

Professor Patrick Nunn of the University of the Sunshine Coast and Dr. Nick Reid of the University of New England analyzed Aboriginal stories from 21 locations along Australia’s coastline. Each story describes a time when sea levels were significantly lower than they are today.\n\n“The present sea levels in Australia were reached 7,000 years ago, and as such, any stories about the coastline stretching much further out to sea had to pre-date that time,” Nunn explained. “These stories talk about a time when the sea started to come in and cover the land, and the changes this brought about to the way people lived—the changes in landscape, the ecosystem, and the disruption this caused to their society.”\n\nNunn emphasized that this is not just a single story describing this process. There are many stories, all consistent in their narrative, across 21 diverse sites around Australia’s coastline. Some of the stories are mythologized, while others are plain narrative. About half came directly from Aboriginal informants, while the others were relayed through Europeans.\n\n“Anything that goes back thousands of years—nearly 13,000 years in some cases—has to be quite exceptional,” Nunn said. “It’s a remarkable time period when we consider our own memories and what we can remember even with the aid of books and other information.”\n\nHe added, “I believe these stories endured that long partly due to the harshness of Australia’s natural environment, which meant that each generation had to pass on knowledge to the next in a systematic way to ensure its survival.”\n\nThe results were reported in a paper published online by the journal Australian Geographer on September 7.

Globally, the gap between the rich and the poor has actually been narrowing, as poorer countries are growing faster. Nor is there a monolithic trend within countries. In Latin America, long home to the world's most unequal societies, many countries—including the biggest, Brazil—have become a bit more equal, as governments have boosted the incomes of the poor with fast growth and an overhaul of public spending to improve the social safety-net (but not by raising tax rates for the rich).\n\nThe gap between rich and poor has risen in other emerging economies, notably China and India, as well as in many rich countries, especially America, but also in places with a reputation for being more egalitarian, such as Germany. But the reasons for this differ. In China, inequality has a lot to do with the hukou system of residency permits, which limits internal migration to the towns; by some measures, inequality has peaked as rural labour becomes more scarce. In America, income inequality began to widen in the 1980s largely because the poor fell behind those in the middle. More recently, the shift has been overwhelmingly due to a rise in the share of income going to the very top—the highest 1% of earners and above—particularly those working in the financial sector. Many Americans are seeing their living standards stagnate, but the gap between most of them has not changed all that much.\n\nThe links between inequality and the ills attributed to it are often weak. For instance, some of the findings in \"The Spirit Level\" were distorted by outliers: strip out America's high murder rate (which many would blame on guns, not inequality) or Japan's longevity (diet, not equality), and flatter societies no longer look so much healthier. As for the mooted link to the financial crisis, the timing is dodgy: America's poor fell behind in the 1980s, the credit bubble took off two decades later.\n\nThese nuances suggest that rather than fretting about inequality itself, policymakers need to differentiate between its causes and focus on ways to increase social mobility. A global market offers far bigger returns to those at the top of their game, be they authors, lawyers or fund managers. Modern technology favours the skilled. These economic changes are themselves often reinforced by social ones: educated men now tend to marry educated women. The result of all this, as our special report this week shows, is the rise of a global elite.\n\nAt heart, this is a meritocratic process; but not always. Rules and institutions are often rigged in ways that limit competition and favour insiders at the expense both of growth and equality. The rules can be blatantly unfair: witness China's limits to migration, which keep the poor in the countryside. Or they can involve more subtle distortions: look at the way that powerful teachers' unions have stopped poorer Americans getting a good education, or the implicit \"too big to fail\" system that encouraged bankers to be reckless and left the rest with the tab. These are very different problems, but they all lead to wider inequality, fewer rungs in the ladder and lower growth.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6143, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "54b8fed4383a36189561abdafb1e93d5af1b1cf5", "raw_chars": 3472, "clean_chars": 3476, "edit_ratio": 0.0861, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Get our daily newsletter.

However, the fact that China's president, Britain's prime minister, America's second-richest man, and the head of the International Monetary Fund have all worried, loudly and publicly, about the dangers of a rising gap between the rich and the rest tells you something about the breadth of global concerns about inequality.\n\nMr. Hu puts the reduction of income disparities, particularly between China's urban elites and its rural poor, at the centre of his pledge to create a \"harmonious society.\" Mr. Cameron has said that more unequal societies do worse according to almost every quality-of-life indicator. Mr. Buffett has become a crusader for a higher inheritance tax, arguing that America risks an entrenched plutocracy without it. And Mr. Strauss-Kahn argues for a new global growth model, claiming that gaping income gaps threaten social and economic stability. Many others seem to share their concerns. A new survey by the World Economic Forum, whose annual gathering of bigwigs in Davos begins on January 26th, says its members see widening economic disparities as one of the two main global risks over the next decade, alongside failings in global governance.\n\nThe debate about inequality is an old one. But in the wake of a financial crisis that is widely blamed on Wall Street fat cats, from which the richest have rebounded fastest, and ahead of public-spending cuts that will hit the poor hardest, its tone has changed. For much of the past two decades, the prevailing view among the world's policy elite—call it the Davos consensus—was that inequality itself was less important than ensuring that those at the bottom were becoming better-off. Tony Blair, a Labour predecessor of Mr. Cameron's, embodied that attitude. His New Labour party was famously said to be \"intensely relaxed\" about the millions earned by David Beckham, a footballer, provided that child poverty fell.\n\nNow the focus is on inequality itself, and its supposedly pernicious consequences. One strand of argument, epitomised by \"The Spirit Level,\" a book that caused a stir in Britain, suggests that countries with greater disparities of income fare worse on all manner of social indicators, from higher murder rates to lower life expectancy. A second thread revisits the macroeconomic consequences of income disparities. Several prominent economists now reckon that inequality was a root cause of the financial crisis: politicians tried to counter the growing gap between rich and poor by encouraging poorer folk to take on more credit. A third argument is that inequality perverts politics, with Wall Street's influence in Washington often cited as exhibit A of the unhealthy clout of a plutocratic elite.\n\nIf these arguments are right, there might be a case for some fairly radical responses, especially a greater focus on redistribution. In fact, much of the recent hand-wringing about widening inequality is based on sloppy thinking. The old Davos consensus of boosting growth and combating poverty is still a better guide to good policy. Rather than a sweeping assault on inequality itself, policymakers would do better to take on the market distortions that often lie behind the most galling income gaps, and which also impede economic growth.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6152, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "0e89d2c1cc2d71f563866683a72b729ff908de0d", "raw_chars": 2452, "clean_chars": 2467, "edit_ratio": 0.2649, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When we first meet Pastor Vinny, he is painting a picket fence, and you will never guess which color.

Since then, several other judges have imposed expensive sanction orders on Prenda. Just last week, Paul Hansmeier, Paul Duffy, and John Steele—the three lawyers commonly linked to Prenda—were found in contempt of a devastating sanction order won by AT&T and Comcast.\n\nToday, a Minnesota federal judge issued an order going in the opposite direction. US District Judge Joan Ericksen overturned sanctions that were issued in November by US Magistrate Judge Franklin Noel in her district.\n\nLike Wright, Noel asked his local US Attorney to investigate Prenda. He also ordered Prenda to reimburse four defendants who settled cases in his court for amounts ranging from $3,500 to $6,000, in addition to their legal fees. That order was stayed while Ericksen considered Prenda's objections. She has now considered those objections and found them convincing.\n\nEricksen writes in today's order that Noel overstepped his bounds as a magistrate judge, a point that AF Holdings, a Prenda shell company, repeatedly emphasized.\n\n\"The Court did not refer the actions to the magistrate judge to determine whether AF Holdings had committed a fraud on the court,\" Ericksen wrote. \"AF Holdings consistently objected to the magistrate judge's authority to determine whether AF Holdings had committed a fraud on the Court. The magistrate judge had no such authority.\"\n\nEricksen dedicates a page to explaining that as a federal magistrate, Noel is not an Article III judge. Despite this, she argues that Noel improperly \"relied on the inherent power of the Court to determine whether it has been a victim of fraud,\" and it appears she disapproves of how he wielded that power.\n\nThe order also dismisses long-standing accusations of forgery and identity theft that have been central to the Prenda saga. Prenda's shell company, AF Holdings, sued hundreds of people over copyrights to adult movies. The copyright transfers were signed by John Steele's former housekeeper, Alan Cooper, but Cooper later came forward to claim his signature was forged.\n\nThose allegations have been taken seriously by judges like Noel and Wright, who have referred to Prenda lawyers committing \"fraud on the court.\" However, Ericksen has now found that the AF Holdings copyright assignments are valid, even though she notes that Cooper disputes the signatures.\n\nThe assignor in the copyright transfer for the two movies at issue, \"Popular Demand\" and \"Sexual Obsession,\" is listed as Raymond Rogers. \"That he actually did execute the assignments has not been questioned,\" Ericksen notes. The issue of Cooper's signature was \"immaterial\" when she decided to grant expedited discovery to AF Holdings.\n\nThe order concludes with a sentence that comes close to suggesting that using a forged document might be acceptable: \"AF Holdings' submission of the agreements with Cooper's signatures—legitimate or not, authorized or not—to evince the transfer of the copyrights to AF Holdings did not amount to a fraud on the Court.\"\n\nFor the Prenda-linked lawyers, Ericksen's order will likely be seen as vindication after a difficult year. It could be paraphrased as: \"Thanks, but you're not a real judge.

Mayor James Thompson stated in a letter that he met with representatives from the development company to convey these community concerns. Residents argued that apartments and renter culture represented a clash with the single-family neighborhoods surrounding the vacant 87-acre tract, which has always been designated as commercial property.\n\nThe project sparked a grassroots petition drive aimed at amending the new development code passed by city officials earlier that summer. Ted Nelson, president of the central region for Newland Communities, wrote in a letter to the city that Telfair would no longer include multifamily units in its proposal, which is currently under consideration by city staff. Despite this decision, Nelson noted that the company \"believes that multifamily housing is a key element of a mixed-use development and further provides an opportunity for young people and elderly citizens an opportunity to live in Sugar Land.\"\n\nThe letter continued, \"We have clearly heard the concerns expressed by the citizens of Sugar Land and wish to abide by these concerns.\"\n\nDiana Miller, a Sugar Land resident who led the petition drive targeting the Telfair and similar projects, expressed skepticism that the discussion between the city and the developer would guarantee that no apartments are ever built on the property. \"A letter is not binding, and it is not unusual for a developer to sell tracts\" within a planned development, Miller said. \"Another entity could just move forward under the development code,\" she added.\n\nNewland had originally proposed developing the property, one of the last undeveloped parcels in the city, into a combination of office, retail, and hotel projects alongside apartment buildings.

Users were forced to rely on virtual private networks (VPNs) to access their social media accounts, as the government simultaneously tightened restrictions on VPN usage. Around the same time, PayPal was denied a financial license renewal by the Turkish government and subsequently withdrew from the country, leaving Bitcoin as a primary method for Turkish citizens to securely purchase goods and services.\n\nThis incident, the second attempt by Turkey to block access to Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter within the same month, highlights how the country's limited number of internet service providers (ISPs) collaborate with the government to shut down access to parts of the internet whenever deemed necessary. These ISPs then throttle traffic to and from targeted websites until they become unusable. Like many other restrictive regimes, the Turkish government maintains direct control or significant influence over the actions of the country's ISPs and telecommunications companies, signaling a regression in digital freedoms.\n\nFor context, internet killswitches are used in other regions as well; for instance, in Jammu and Kashmir, India, such measures affect a broader range of websites beyond just social media. An internet watchdog group in Turkey, Turkey Blocks, suggests that a new law is being utilized, allowing the military to bypass the Ministry of Communications and deploy the country's internet killswitch during national security emergencies. This mechanism is now being employed with greater frequency and with less provocation. The Turkish government has not provided, and likely will not provide, an official explanation for the block, which subsided seven hours after it began.\n\nDuring the outage, Turkish Twitter users shared their experiences and frustrations. One user, Ankaralı Jan, remarked on August 25, 2016, \"Our generation's gas lamp is VPN.\" Another user, Aylina Kılıç, noted that social media websites were down with no explanations provided. Ali Arikan added, \"Twitter and Facebook are both blocked in Turkey. Always a good sign.\"\n\nThis event serves as a clear example of open internet censorship, and ignoring its occurrence and recurrence allows it to become the new norm. Turkey has a history of such censorship; during the July 15 coup attempt, the government shut down access to the same three websites. Additionally, last week, an explosion in Gaziantep led to similar blocks. Turkey Blocks confirmed that Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were blocked by throttling at 00:35 AM following the massive Gaziantep blast.\n\nThis week's episode of unwarranted internet censorship likely stems from a suicide bombing in Cizre, Turkey. Ultimately, the use of an internet killswitch is a problematic approach. While some pundits worldwide argue in favor of government-controlled internet killswitches, governments can always find commentators to support their views, even when factually flawed.

And these flying dinosaurs they keep finding are no exception!\"\n\nDr. Edwards explains that it would have been impossible for Noah's sons to travel to the four corners of the earth to areas that were previously inaccessible on foot. \"Noah and his sons had to collect two of every single creature on the face of the planet,\" he says. \"We're talking about a big haul here.

In the case of how the animals were collected from remote regions of the world in the first place, however, recent archaeological finds indicate that Noah's sons were able to tame giant flying dinosaurs and, in turn, load them up with food supplies and hitch rides for long trips around the world to China, South America, Australia, Greenland, and the North Pole.\n\nCreation scientists estimate that since the Earth is only ten-thousand years old, human beings were living among dinosaurs and had plenty of time to tame them. \"I would have loved to have been around to see Cain and Abel rolling around in the grass outside the Garden of Eden playing with the pet raptors their father, Adam, gave them for their birthdays,\" says Pastor Deacon Fred. \"What a glorious time that must have been!\"\n\nThrough tithing donations from Landover Baptist Church members, the Center for Creation Research was able to secure several fossilized remains of flying dinosaurs valued at over $14 million.

He's played in a Super Bowl. He scored a game-winning touchdown in a playoff game. He is one interception away from becoming just the fifth player in NFL history to have 40 sacks and 20 interceptions. There are few emotions he hasn't experienced on the field. The emotion that has escaped him, however, is what comes over a player when he holds the Lombardi Trophy as world champion. It's why Dansby sought out the Cincinnati Bengals once he released by the Cleveland Browns in mid-March. \"I haven't been around this much talent in a long time,\" he said. \"You look at the roster man, there's a lot of talent on this team. There's a lot of ball players on this team, a lot of guys that have had a lot of success in this game. I just wanted to surround myself with a lot of talent one time to see how it'll all pan out.

Dansby has played every linebacker spot in a 4-3 defense, but in Cincinnati he will play on the strong side when the Bengals linebacker corps is healthy and all together.

Added to this, American media coverage of Vietnam dropped off almost entirely after the fall of Saigon in 1975, so veterans had a hard time understanding how their role in the war contributed to the country's well-being.\n\nKleven recalls the confusion he felt after coming home from Vietnam in 1967. \"I kept asking myself, why did we go? What was behind it? I never knew the history of it. So I was searching for all of those things.\"\n\nThe quest for answers drove some veterans to return to Vietnam and connect with the Vietnamese in the 1980s. The trips were difficult in those early years. The US imposed a trade embargo on Vietnam in 1975 and pulled its embassy staff from the country. Before Kleven first returned to Vietnam in 1988, 15 years after the peace accords, he was warned by the US State Department not to go. Despite these challenges, veterans made up the largest contingent of Americans visiting Vietnam in the 1980s, Ms. Curtis says.\n\nFrom the beginning, veterans who returned played a role in improving ties between the two countries. In the absence of formal diplomatic ties, Hanoi reached out to returning American veterans to discuss outstanding war issues, such as missing soldiers and Vietnamese children fathered by American troops. While the US government discouraged these discussions, and some veterans felt too hardened by the war to have any interest in symbolically shaking hands, well-known veterans such as Bobby Muller, then president of Vietnam Veterans of America, took Hanoi up on the offer.\n\n\"We see our role as providing a bridge to Vietnam, a conduit to dialogue,\" Mr. Muller was quoted by The New York Times as saying after a 1984 meeting with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach. \"Our Government will not talk to them. So we do represent the only channel with which to exchange information.\"\n\nWhen President Clinton announced the normalization of diplomatic relations with Vietnam a decade later, he thanked veterans for supporting reconciliation and moving \"beyond the haunting and painful past toward finding common ground for the future.\"\n\nVeterans in Vietnam today are continuing that process and working to address the past on both the grass-roots and diplomatic levels.\n\nIt's a balmy evening and we're sitting amid the Tiki torches and straw umbrellas of a bar in Da Nang, in central Vietnam.

In a single-player game, all this usually happens within the 3D engine. For an MMO, it is more complicated:\n\nStep 1. The button press goes to our authoritative server as a message.\n\nStep 2. The authoritative server receives the message, performs a raycast, and calculates where the shot hits.\n\nStep 3. Our authoritative server expresses “where it hits” in terms such as “Player B got hit right between his eyes” and sends it as a message to the client (actually, to all the clients).\n\nStep 4. This message is received by the Game Logic FSM and translated into the commands of the Logic-to-Graphics Layer (still without meshes and triangles, for example, “show laser ray from my gun to the point right-between-the-eyes-of-Player B”, and “show laser hit right between the eyes of Player B”), which commands are sent (as messages) to the Animation&Rendering FSM.\n\nStep 5. The Animation&Rendering FSM can finally render the whole thing.\n\nWhile the process is rather complicated, most of the steps are inherently inevitable for an MMO. The only thing which you could theoretically save compared to the procedure described above is merging step 4 and step 5 together (by merging Game Logic FSM and Animation&Rendering together), but I advise against it as such merging would introduce too much coupling which will hit you in the long run. Doing such different things as parsing network messages and rendering within one tightly coupled module is rarely a good idea, and it becomes even worse if there is a chance that you will ever want to use some other Animation&Rendering FSM (for example, a newer one, or the one optimized for a different platform).\n\nRagdoll Physics\nIn computer physics engines, ragdoll physics is a type of procedural animation that is often used as a replacement for traditional static death animations in video games and animated films. — Wikipedia\n\nMMORPG Interaction Example (Ragdoll)\nIn a typical MMORPG example, when an NPC is hit for the 93rd time and dies as a result, ragdoll physics is activated.

As far as I know, one of Morrowind's expansions introduced the ability to play as a werewolf. Oblivion introduced fully voiced NPCs, companions, horses, Radiant AI, and physics-based combat. Fallout 3 brought the Bethesda RPG to a more modern setting, and introduced guns, and the V.A.T.S. Skyrim introduced dual-wielding, dragons, and shouts. Skyrim's DLC introduced the ability to become a Vampire Lord, and the ability to customize your own house. Fallout 4 brought a fully voiced player character, dialogue cameras, a companion relationship system, Radiant Quests (I know, I know... another settlement), and a complex system of player-built structures and settlements. Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4 also introduced fully integrated mod support.\n\nEach of these incremental improvements and additions gets refined, and built on in the games that follow to the point that many of them get taken for granted. However, I'd like to discuss one feature in particular, and how I hope to see it implemented in The Elder Scrolls VI. And that is the player-created housing that was introduced in Skyrim's Hearthfire DLC, and greatly improved on with settlements in Fallout 4.\n\nIn Hearthfire, the player was given the option to pick a predetermined location from a few options where they could build their own house. The player then interacted with a crafting table to actually build and furnish their house. Players sifted through menus of things they could build, starting with a foundation, then walls, etc. However, when you crafted one of these things, they were placed in a predetermined location, and you only got a chance to see what it looked like after you had built it. Once you got the structure built, you could furnish the inside. This, unfortunately, was still done using the crafting table menu. You had to select the name of the room you wanted an object in, and then select from a list of somewhat vague terms for objects, and hope you picked the right one. I accidentally placed a fire pit right in the middle of the foyer, because the options didn't make sense to me. I couldn't really figure out how to move it, either. It was an interesting concept, but it felt a bit too complicated for me to really bother with it much. It was easier to just use one of the dozen houses I already owned.\n\nFallout 4 took this rough concept, and really ran with it. While you were still confined to a predetermined location, you could build wherever you wanted within that area. On top of that, you weren't confined to a predetermined structure. By giving you access to modular pieces, Fallout 4 let you build as little or as much as you wanted (within a limit to prevent the game from crashing). Want to build 4 small houses? That's cool. Want to build one huge hotel? Go for it! And instead of building through a system of menus, you could hand place everything to get it just right. And if you decided you didn't like where it was, you were free to pick it up and move it, or destroy it and start from scratch. Fallout 4 also gave you a wealth of options for structures and furniture, so you could really customize your creations.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6211, "chunk_idx": 12, "raw_sha1": "b7958f8fd28a88dbe48b0f84230030c03df4bbad", "raw_chars": 3381, "clean_chars": 3482, "edit_ratio": 0.3362, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "One question that may arise for queue-based architectures and fast-paced games concerns the latencies introduced by those additional queues. We want to show data to the user as fast as possible. My experience shows that the additional latency is on the order of single-digit microseconds. It might be possible to lower this further into the sub-microsecond range by using less trivial non-blocking queues, though I am not entirely sure due to the relatively expensive allocations usually involved in marshalling and unmarshalling. For further details on implementing high-performance, low-latency queues in C++, please refer to the relevant chapter.\n\nSince this single-digit-microsecond delay is at least three orders of magnitude smaller than the inter-frame delay of roughly 1/60th of a second, I argue that nobody will ever notice the difference, even in single-player or LAN-based games. For internet-based MMOs, where the absolute best we can hope for is a 10-millisecond delay, this additional latency is even less relevant. In short, I do not think this additional single-digit-microsecond delay can possibly have any effect visible to the end user.\n\nThe diagram in Figure V.2 shows each of the finite state machines (FSMs) running within its own thread. On the other hand, as noted above, each of the FSMs can be run in the same thread as the Game Logic FSM. In the extreme case, this results in a system where all the FSMs run within a single thread, with the corresponding diagram shown in Figure V.3.\n\nEach and every FSM in Figure V.3 is exactly the same as the FSMs in Figure V.2. Moreover, logically, these two diagrams are exactly equivalent, and a \"recording\" from one can be \"replayed\" on the other. The only difference in Figure V.3 is that we are using the same thread (and the same queue) to run all our FSMs. The FSM Selector here is just a very simple selector that looks at the destination-FSM field (set by whoever sent the message) and routes the message accordingly.\n\nThis kind of threading could be quite practical, for example, for a casino or a social game. However, not all platforms allow waiting for select() in the main graphics loop, so you may need to resort to the architecture shown in Figure V.4.\n\nHere, the Sockets Thread is very simple and does not contain any substantial logic. All it does is push whatever it gets from the queue to the socket, and push whatever it gets from the socket to the queue of the Main Thread. All the actual processing will be performed there, within the Communications FSM.\n\nAnother alternative is shown in Figure V.5. Both Figure V.4 and Figure V.5 will work for a social or casino-like game on Windows.\n\nOn the other end of the spectrum lie heavy-weight implementations such as the one shown in Figure V.6. Here, the Animation & Rendering FSM and the Communications FSM run in their own processes. This approach might be useful during testing; in general, you may even run FSMs on different developers' computers if you prefer this kind of interactive debugging. However, for production, it is better to avoid such configurations, as inter-process interfaces may help bot writers.\n\nOverall, the exact thread (and even process) configuration you will deploy is not that important and may easily be system-dependent (or even situation-dependent, such as \"for the time being, we've decided to separate this FSM to a separate process to debug it on the respective developer's machines\").

Ainz Ooal Gown had gathered most of the floor guardians and Sebas for two reasons: to hear about their progress and commend them on their achievements, and for another purpose.\n\n\"The Lizardmen are very grateful for the gifts bestowed upon them by Ainz-sama,\" Cocytus reported.\n\nAccording to him, the three adamantite armors crafted by the dwarves had been given to Zenberu, Zaryusu, and Shasuryu. This left the other lizardmen in awe of the armor's craftsmanship and of their lord Ainz Ooal Gown's generosity.\n\n\"Very good. The armor will protect Zaryusu from harm...\" An image of the albino lizardman with many albino children flashed in Ainz's mind. \"Zenberu deserved a reward for being our guide to the dwarves, and giving Shasuryu the armor as the leader of the lizardmen is also a good decision.\"\n\n\"You have done an excellent job, Cocytus!\" Ainz commended, nodding his head. \"I know you have requested armor and weapons for the lizardmen in the past. Now that we have the dwarf runesmiths working for us, your lizardmen will be among the first to receive rune-crafted equipment.\"\n\n\"Your servant is most grateful.\"\n\n\"Now, Albedo. I understand your visit to the Capital went quite well as well?\"\n\n\"Yes, Ainz-sama!\" Albedo replied, turning to face him. \"With the help of Eight Fingers, we were able to prop up a worthless human to create a third faction in the kingdom. Princess Renner is also proving to be a useful puppet. Although, if she can open the box she was given, she might even be worth welcoming as a servant of the great tomb of Nazarick.\"\n\n*I still don't know what Albedo's and Demiurge's plan for this princess is. But is letting someone so smart near me a good idea?* Suzuki Satoru thought, full of worry. His skull face betrayed no emotion, of course.\n\n\"I'll leave it to you then!\" Ainz said, waving his hand gracefully. The many hours spent practicing such movements in front of the mirror had begun to pay off, as he was able to execute the move with a regal appearance befitting a true ruler.\n\n\"I will do my best to please Ainz-sama,\" Albedo replied, blushing slightly as she bowed.\n\nPurging his mind of any thoughts about the reason for her blushing, Ainz looked at Demiurge, the only guardian who had not yet given a report.\n\n\"Demiurge, can you share your progress in the Holy Kingdom with the other guardians?\"\n\n\"As you command,\" Demiurge replied with a bow. \"My preparations in the Holy Kingdom are complete. We can move forward with the plan to use a doppelganger.\"\n\nWhile Ainz was wondering why Demiurge would require a doppelganger, Shalltear spoke.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6238, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "bba09895e01a36185750cdf057d78278e6b5352a", "raw_chars": 3282, "clean_chars": 3067, "edit_ratio": 0.6409, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Moses informed his loan provider that he could not afford the new interest rate and requested a loan modification. A loan modification is an adjustment to the terms of an existing loan, often implemented for a short period to help borrowers regain financial stability. To avoid falling delinquent in the meantime, Moses sent Homeward Residential a check for $2,300, explaining that it was the maximum amount he could afford. However, Homeward told him they could not accept a partial payment. Moses noted that while the bank did not return the money he sent, he has not paid his mortgage since, despite attempting unsuccessfully to modify his loan three or four times.\n\nThe cost of applying for a loan modification can be around $1,000 per application, according to Benjamin Reed Jr., who spoke at a recent protest on behalf of his father, a Tuskegee Air Force veteran who retired from the military in the 1970s. Reed explained that his parents, both in their 80s, have spent $3,000 on loan modification applications with Wells Fargo without success. The Reeds have lived in their Twin Peaks home for 27 years, and the property is currently facing foreclosure. \"This fight must have taken 10 years off their lives,\" Reed said.\n\nThe Bairds are similarly weary from their efforts to modify their loan with Chase. They stated that since 1989, they have refinanced multiple times to pay off medical bills and credit card debt, with the most recent refinance in 1999 intended to help their daughter and her family. The Bairds' current combined monthly income is approximately $3,550. They owe Chase about $750,000, and at the bank's current interest rate, their monthly mortgage payment is around $2,500. Grace Martinez, an organizer with ACCE, observed that Donald and Tina Baird are hard on themselves for taking out those loans.\n\nBetween 2008 and 2011, more than one million homes were lost to foreclosure, with an additional 700,000 in the foreclosure pipeline. Seven of the nation's ten hardest-hit cities by foreclosure rate last year were in California. Martinez noted that 84 percent of foreclosures in San Francisco between 2009 and 2011 were \"illegal.\" The AARP study points out that, like the Bairds and Moses, many older people on fixed incomes tapped their home equity before the recession to fix their homes or pay medical bills. \"The banks' pitch line to seniors is: 'You are sitting on a pile of equity; why can't you take out money to clear your debts,'\" Martinez said.\n\nIn July, California passed the Homeowners Bill of Rights to protect borrowers during the mortgage and foreclosure process by prohibiting unfair bank practices. The law takes effect next January. Despite this, the Bairds have tried unsuccessfully four times over the last three years to modify their loan, with Chase repeatedly denying them due to their low income.

This development follows the implementation of a US law in 2010, which required firms to determine the origin of minerals used in their products. Tin, tantalum, and tungsten, which are used to manufacture computers and mobile phones, previously generated approximately $185 million (£110 million) annually for armed groups, fueling decades of conflict.\n\nThe US law was enacted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. It requires any company that might be using conflict minerals to register with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and disclose its supply chain. According to the Enough Project, this legislation, combined with other reforms and the recent defeat of two powerful rebel groups by UN troops, has significantly reduced the number of mines operated by militias. However, the report notes that artisanal mining of gold continues to fund army commanders.\n\nBBC international development correspondent Mark Doyle observes that this rare positive news from the DRC illustrates how consumer campaigns in wealthy nations can positively impact underdeveloped countries. High-tech US companies producing laptops and smartphones did not want to be associated with warlords committing atrocities and, more importantly, knew that campaigners in the US would expose them if they did. Consequently, pressure from US consumers, working in tandem with the new US law requiring companies to guarantee a \"clean\" supply chain, has forced change. A more robust military campaign by the UN's Intervention Brigade against some armed groups has also contributed to this progress.\n\nThe next target for campaigners, after computer companies, will be jewelers. It remains to be seen if they can achieve a similar effect in the DRC's gold mines, many of which are still controlled by warlords operating with impunity. The Enough Project's report, based on five months of field research, found that 67% of tin, tantalum (refined from coltan), and tungsten in the North Kivu, South Kivu, and Maniema provinces were no longer in the hands of armed groups or the Congolese army. This stands in stark contrast to a 2010 UN group of experts report, which stated that \"in the Kivu provinces, almost every mining deposit [was] controlled by a military group.\"\n\nFor the first time in the DRC's history, there is now a validation process to evaluate whether mines are conflict-free.

She explained that the redevelopment suggested in the promotional video does not align with the area’s community vision plan or the city’s rental housing stock development plan. Under current zoning bylaws, the only permitted development would be a one-to-one requisite replacement of rental housing, accompanied by tenant relocation strategies. Haid emphasized that the city would not entertain a rezoning of the site, as it would be in direct contradiction to existing policies and bylaws.

However, she stated that the city is happy to communicate with real estate agents and interested buyers seeking accurate information about properties for sale in Vancouver.\n\nMark Goodman, whose firm handled the listing, said his company has been in communication with the city and that no concerns have been expressed about the handling of the sale. The property, sold about three weeks prior, is slated to close in the fall. The buyer plans to keep Southview Gardens as rental property for the foreseeable future.

This delay has been driven in part by opposition from politicians, builders, and residents in upstream communities such as Greensboro and Burlington. These areas bear the financial burden of compliance but do not always perceive the downstream benefits.\n\nDuring a debate on proposed amendments to the Senate budget last week, Senator Trudy Wade (R-Jamestown) argued that changes to nutrient management are necessary. She pointed out that costly voluntary efforts upstream have failed to reduce algae levels in areas like Jordan Lake. \"People upstream have done their part,\" Wade said. \"Greensboro has already spent $61 million on a treatment plant. Burlington has spent $31 million on a treatment plant. Greensboro plans to spend $55 million more and make other improvements long before these rules come into effect.\" She emphasized that these communities are \"way ahead of the game\" and noted that, despite these efforts, \"it hasn't made a dent in the algae in Jordan Lake.\"\n\nIn response, Senator Mike Woodard (D-Durham) argued that it is impossible to judge the effects of pollution controls that are not yet fully in place. He noted that such measures inevitably take time to work. However, he stressed that nutrient-release regulation has improved water quality in the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico estuaries. \"The current nutrient-management strategies have reduced nitrogen and phosphorus pollution where they have been implemented,\" Woodard said. \"Already conditions are not as bad as they were. While estuaries have stabilized, they are still in a very fragile place.\"\n\nSteve Tedder, a retired state environmental water quality section chief and a member of the state's Environmental Management Commission, agreed with the need for nuance. He suggested that existing nutrient-management rules could likely be improved by making them more flexible and less costly for some stakeholders. He also noted that previously unaccounted-for sources, such as polluted groundwater and nutrients emitted by poultry farms, could be better understood. However, Tedder warned that discarding an approach to pollution control developed with extensive input from government and non-government participants over decades would be a mistake. \"Anytime you take 30 to 40 years of collective work on multiple basins where they've had nutrient problems and basically throw those out the door without being very informed of the facts, I think that is not a good way of doing business,\" he said.\n\nTedder disagreed with claims that current strategies are ineffective. He reminded listeners that actions were taken in the Neuse in the mid-1990s and in the Tar-Pamlico in the 1980s. \"A lot of factors have changed since then, including population,\" he said. \"You have a lot of ways nutrients can get into the system. This can be improved,\" he stressed, emphasizing that existing controls have produced concrete benefits. \"If you look at fish kill records you see substantial changes. That tells you that things are improving. I just hate to see all of that lost,\" Tedder said, referring to headline-grabbing fish kills that had previously driven the push to restrict nutrient pollution.\n\nDepartment of Environmental Quality (DEQ) records dating back to 1997 show a four-fold decrease in the number of fish kill deaths between 1997 and 2015.\n\nThe Senate move would also commit $2 million to the chancellor's office of UNC-Chapel Hill to launch a study of nutrient control strategies in North Carolina and elsewhere, including those focused on cleaning impaired waters.

I tried reorganizing the code, passing back flags, and other adjustments. Finally, I pulled out the big guns and considered the denotational semantics of the language.\n\nTail recursion comes down to this: when recursively invoking the interpreter, do not create \"trivial\" continuations. A trivial continuation is the identity function, meaning it simply returns the value handed to it.\n\nHow does one find the trivial continuations? Convert the function to continuation-passing style to make the continuations explicit, then eta-reduce any continuation that you can. So a properly tail-recursive program is one in which the continuation-passing style has been eta-reduced.\n\nHere is the continuation-passing style version of a Rebol interpreter in Scheme:\n\n(define (eval-sequence block env k)\n(if (empty-block? block)\nblock\n(eval-1 block env\n(lambda (value more)\n(eval-sequence more env k))\n(lambda (value)\n(k value))))) ; *****\n\n(define (eval-1 block env k-more k-last)\n(define (return value)\n(if (null? (cdr block))\n(k-last value)\n(k-more value (cdr block))))\n(let ((token (car block)))\n(cond ((quoted? token)\n(return (unquote token)))\n((assignment? token)\n(eval-assignment token (cdr block) env k-more k-last))\n((block? token)\n(return (make-closure token env)))\n(else\n(let ((value (lookup token env)))\n(if (or (fquoted? token) (not (procedure? value)))\n(return value)\n(eval-arguments value (cdr block) env k-more k-last)))))))\n\n(define (eval-arguments function block env k-more k-last)\n(eval-arguments-1 function block env (arity function) '() k-more k-last))\n\n(define (eval-arguments-1 function block env arity arglist k-more k-last)\n(cond ((zero? arity)\n(apply function (reverse arglist)\n(if (empty-block? block) k-last k-more)))\n((empty-block? block)\n(error \"Too few arguments.\"))\n;;; fexpr processing would go here\n(else\n(eval-1 block env\n(lambda (last-arg)\n(eval-arguments-1 function NIL NIL (1- arity)\n(cons last-arg arglist) NIL k-last))\n(lambda (arg more)\n(eval-arguments-1 function more env (1- arity)\n(cons arg arglist) k-more k-last))))))\n\nAgain, note the line with asterisks. This is the problematic continuation. It is trivial in that it simply passes its argument back to its caller, so it could be written as:\n\n(define (eval-sequence block env k)\n(if (empty-block? block)\nblock\n(eval-1 block env\n(lambda (value more)\n(eval-sequence more env k))\nk))) ; eta-reduction of (lambda (value) (k value))\n\nThis version of the interpreter will be properly tail-recursive.\n\nThere is a surprise here. Notice that EVAL-1 (what would correspond to EVAL in a Lisp or Scheme interpreter) takes two continuations rather than the usual one. One continuation is invoked in the case where more of the sequence needs to be processed, the other in the case that the sequence is all used up. Furthermore, note that APPLY does not need an extra continuation.\n\n-----\n\nImplementation in C", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6293, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "78b23e90a2ef710a72c8aa15e524eb52e53e250f", "raw_chars": 2931, "clean_chars": 2931, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This sad saga of abuse of authority by an unethical and highly partisan prosecutor may finally be at an end.\n\nBy way of background, the Milwaukee County prosecutor, John Chisholm, decided to harness his office to Wisconsin’s misnamed ‘Government Accountability Board’ in order to harass Governor Scott Walker and jail, bankrupt or terrify as many of his allies as possible.

A study published today found that fecal transplants are more effective at treating a particular type of diarrhea than either an antibiotic or a placebo, which is a fake or dummy treatment.\n\nThe study collated and analyzed the results from earlier research on how effective fecal transplants are in treating diarrhea caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile. Researchers have been interested in alternative treatments for this condition due to the rising resistance to standard treatments, including antibiotics. As a result, this type of diarrhea has quickly developed into a more life-threatening disease.\n\nThe study findings align with recent European advice that strongly encourages the establishment of centers specializing in fecal transplants to treat C. difficile diarrhea. Despite the apparent success of fecal transplants for this particular condition, there is still much we do not know about this therapy. It is important to determine how long the effects last, and which components of the fecal transplant help cure disease and which do not.\n\nHow do fecal transplants work?\n\nFecal transplants, or \"fecal microbiota transplantation,\" involve transferring feces from a healthy donor to a sick recipient. The collective community of microbes and compounds, known as the gut microbiota, in the donor's feces is then believed to establish itself in the recipient's gut. The scientific consensus is that fecal transplants work if the recipient's gut microbiota is \"restored.\" The most consistent measure of this restoration has been an increase in the diversity of the community of organisms in the recipient's gut. By encouraging a more diverse and beneficial community of organisms in the gut, the idea is that this allows the recipient to resist being overwhelmed by \"bad\" bugs.\n\nBefore donating their feces, donors are screened for many infectious agents, such as C. difficile, HIV, and viral hepatitis (A, B, and C). This is done to ensure that a donation does not accidentally transfer pathogens, or disease-causing microorganisms. The screened donor feces are then delivered to the recipient in a number of ways.\n\nDelivery methods from above involve the recipient swallowing a fecal capsule, or \"crapsule,\" containing frozen feces. Alternatively, a diluted sample can be delivered through a plastic tube inserted into the nose down to the stomach or small bowel, a procedure known as nasogastric intubation. Samples can also be delivered from below via colonoscopy, where a tube is inserted into the rectum and goes deep into the gut to the cecum, just above the appendix. Or recipients can have an enema, where fluid is infused through the rectum.\n\nWhat works?\n\nFecal transplants made their way into the medical literature a long time ago, with the first successful result occurring in 1958. Interest in fecal transplants was ignited in 1989 in Australia, when various conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, responded to the therapy. However, it was not until 2013 that the first controlled trial for C. difficile diarrhea was carried out, which showed the treatment was better than antibiotics and placebo. The trial was stopped early because the ethics committee considered it unethical to withhold this therapy from the control group. The research published today backs these findings.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6309, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "97e7de5885dd2796bda066d011b057055540899f", "raw_chars": 3485, "clean_chars": 3494, "edit_ratio": 0.0064, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Allow me to qualify a couple of those points, as I know these are big claims.

I have friends that recently bought their first super who didn't even play the game when they were first introduced, that's how long it's been. I don't think in 8 years of online gaming I have ever seen a single event in any game generate such an incredible exodus of the active playerbase as this patch.\n\nTo take a real-world example of the impact of this patch, I'm going to show a route I did once upon a time about 8 months before the patch. The alliance I was in at the time lived in Cobalt Edge and had announced they wanted to disband. I felt like trying out some solo PVP in Facwar space, so I loaded up my carrier in our Cobalt Edge home system, and jumped past the evac point to Vestouve to go try it out. This route required 6 cynos, and I had 2 characters who could run them, so I'd take one a few jumps, light the cyno, jump, then log out and log in to the other character while it's cyno was burning. This isn't an alt heavy activity, you could do this with 1 character and it took me about an hour or so. To move from the heart of Cobalt Edge to the edge of Syndicate with 2 accounts. In theory you could do that in ~90 seconds if you had the cynos already in place, but it was rare you'd be that prepared.\n\nLet's compare that route to today:\n\n20 Cynos, 18 mids, crossing such a vast number of sov null systems you couldn't possibly own them all. With current mechanics, you'd have maxed out your fatigue at the 5 day cap after the 4th jump and have a 2hr 43 minute reactivation timer before you could jump again. If you properly waited out your fatigue every jump, it would take a little over 16hrs, and if you did the optimal effort reducing strategy of jump, wait 10-20 mins, then blitz the next 2 jumps, it will still take you an entire week of logging in for about an hour every single day to do that trip. I ask honestly, do you believe this is a reasonable use of your time in what is ultimately a video game? I know this example seems extreme, but my point is to illustrate how utterly absurd the current state of affairs is. I've also done roughly that route taking a few gates to cut down 3 or 4 jumps with both titans and supers on more than one occasion. When you consider that the Drone Regions are by far the largest producer of supercapitals on the map and also the least likely place for them to be used, it's truly not an unreasonable example.\n\nYou can see in this image I made before the jump ranges how many uncrossable dead spots and choke points there are in the map. My particular favourites being Mai, Erila, Athounon and Oijanen.\n\nI don't mean to suggest that we revert back completely, but surely there is some middle ground here?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6312, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f2a84c021c83a9d909abaa1991d13e80d08786dd", "raw_chars": 3493, "clean_chars": 3361, "edit_ratio": 0.1666, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "CNN presents the stories of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump from those who know them best in two special reports, \"Unfinished Business: The Essential Hillary Clinton\" and \"All Business: The Essential Donald Trump.\" The documentaries air back-to-back starting Monday at 8 p.m. ET.\n\nHeir to a construction fortune, business magnate, New York City tabloid obsession, reality TV star, and now the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump has sought, found, and sustained global celebrity for more than 40 years.

This interview has been edited and condensed.\n\nCNN: Trump's wealth and business credentials have been central to his appeal to voters. Was he born into great wealth, as critics note, or has that been overstated?\n\nMichael D'Antonio: When people ask me about Donald's wealth and whether he is a self-made man, I have to remind them that he was born into one of the wealthiest families in America. In the 1970s, his father was worth $200 million. Donald will say, \"Oh, I got a loan of a million bucks from my dad,\" and that is true, but he also had access to all that wealth in addition to his political connections. Some estimate that if he had simply parked that money in a mutual fund, he would be just as rich today as he is now with all the machinations of his business life. But hey, he kept us entertained, so let him be a developer, let him be a serial entrepreneur. It is fun to watch.\n\nDonald Trump and his father, Fred Trump, at the opening of Wollman Rink.\n\nDonald was born to a father of German heritage. His grandfather actually came to America and made a fortune in the Yukon, where he served up meals, alcohol, and beds to miners seeking their fortunes in the gold fields. His mother is of Scottish stock. She came over in the late 1920s. At the time, the Isle of Lewis, where she was born and raised, was very poor. They had actually lost most of the young men in a terrible incident at sea where a ship carrying troops home from World War I sank almost within sight of the island. Many of the young women left for North America hoping to find not only a new life and new opportunities, but perhaps a husband, and she did. She found Fred Trump.\n\nHow was Trump's life as a child, and how much of his parents do we see in the candidate now?\n\nAnyone who would have known Fred, and I have met a few people who did, and also knows Donald, would see there is a direct line from father to son. Fred was actually quite engaging and fun to talk to. Everyone said he had a great personality, but he was also steely in his ambition. He wanted not only to be rich, but to be very rich, and he wanted to be powerful and have powerful friends. Fred, very early on, got involved in politics. He donated to many candidates, and I think he demonstrated for Donald how to work with relationships, how to play with people.

Their last game that counted was 238 days ago, and it will be eight days until they host the Steelers in their 2016 season opener. Looking ahead, the Cowboys are scheduled to play the Redskins in 14 days, the Browns in 28 days, and the Redskins will travel to face the Ravens in 35 days.\n\nChecking in on the Redskins’ draft picks\n\nWide receiver Josh Doctson, selected in the first round, is now off the active/PUP list because there isn’t one after the cut to 53. The wide receiver is now eligible to practice for the first time since OTAs. But that doesn’t mean that he will. We won’t really get a read on that until Thursday, when the Redskins issue their first injury report.\n\nLinebacker/safety Su’a Cravens, selected in the second round, was all over the place during preseason games. Although he played inside linebacker during those games, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have been carving out an additional role for him during the practices that have been closed since after the second game. Cravens may not always be where he's supposed to be but he does make plays.\n\nCornerback Kendall Fuller, selected in the third round, had concerns about his knee coming in but he was very nearly a full go from the moment he arrived for the offseason program. He appears to be in competition with Dashaun Phillips for the nickel cornerback role. For the moment it looks like Phillips is ahead but it could be decided in practice this week.\n\nDefensive lineman Matt Ioannidis, selected in the fifth round, is the only draft pick to get cut today. He has to qualify as a disappointment, at least in these early stages. It’s possible that he could land on the practice squad, work on his fundamentals, and land back on the roster as a productive player whether it’s later this year or in 2017. But for now, I'm looking at a defensive line that got no help from the draft and at all of the wheeling and dealing for future picks that Scot McCloughan did around the fourth and fifth rounds in the draft and wondering if he could have done better. He was the third highest drafted player to get cut.\n\nQuarterback Nate Sudfeld, selected in the sixth round, is a good thing he wasn’t being judged by his preseason numbers. Sudfeld completed just 52.8 percent of his passes and gained 4.5 yards per attempt. But he didn’t throw an interception and that along with his steady improvement in practice since OTAs likely helped convince Jay Gruden and Scot McCloughan that he is worth trying to develop.\n\nLinebacker Steven Daniels, selected in the seventh round, suffered a shoulder injury early on in camp and landed on injured reserve. He was a project and may not have made the 53 even if he had been healthy. Daniels will get a year to go to meetings and the injury happened early enough so that there is a good chance that he will be ready to go for the offseason program.\n\nRunning back Keith Marshall, selected in the seventh round, we’ll never know what he would have done with his chance to make a case for a roster spot during that third preseason game against the Bills because he suffered a sprained elbow on his first carry. Marshall has the physical tools to be a good back but he has to learn to stay on the field.\n\nTandler on Twitter\n\nA nice sunset in Ashburn tonight. pic.twitter.com/v1pOthhH3R — Rich Tandler (@TandlerNBCS) September 3, 2016\n\nIn case you missed it", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6323, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "bc7d69a473c07c19766fb2f6ffa990815c2c2c1b", "raw_chars": 3173, "clean_chars": 3177, "edit_ratio": 0.2123, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"I'm not,\" Yang replied, shaking Blake from her anxiety with the serious catch in the blonde girl's voice. \"I'm going to try taking kickboxing more seriously, double down on training, retake my title next year, and see if I can find some underground leagues in Compostela that might get me a name.

Yang had an army of stories about the places she had seen and touched, and Blake had a hunger to hear her talk, just for a while longer. They tore away only when Yang got a call to give Ruby a ride.

Velvet should have been back, but Blake predicted she was still getting plastered at the bar with Coco, probably a little heartbroken. Jaune and Pyrrha must have been there as well; missing meant they were together. Penny was also gone, or in her room. Only Ren and Nora were there, doing homework—or rather, Ren doing homework and Nora collapsing on top of his lap like a needy dog. They were a cute pair.\n\nWhat wasn't cute was Blake's open dorm door. \"Ren?\" Blake asked, knowing the question spoke for itself. He looked up, a deep-set worry on his face, one not matched by Nora.\n\n\"Weiss,\" Ren started, not shocking Blake in the least. \"There was some crashing from her room.

The room was wrecked. A shattered guitar was burst into pieces that had scattered across the floor, with a dent in the corner from where the instrument was smashed against. Many of the precious notes and equipment the girl kept on her desk were thrown off, some of it had to be broken. The one monitor that didn't even make it to the floor was pushed against the back, screen shattered. Weiss' hand, wrapped up and sprinkled with red stains, suggested exactly who had done all of this. The girl herself was staring into an open first aid kit, tears running down her face as she made no attempt to hide them or give into a single sob or sniffle.\n\n\"Glynda said the first aid kit was stored in your room.

People often tell me that only computer nerds and \"sad people\" use the net. How wrong they are.\n\nAlmost four out of ten homes in the US already have a personal computer and one in three of these has a modem enabling the computer and telephone to be connected. By the year 2000 at least 20% of all US households are expected to be on-line. At present, the median age of users is 32 years, 64% have college degrees and 25% have an income larger than $80,000 so the image of the long haired student computer freak is quite wrong. Half of internet users have managerial or professional jobs and 31% are women. There are now (May 1996) more than a million web sites for them to visit.\n\nThey use it for e-mail, to receive up to date financial information, for writing reports, for research and also for entertainment during work breaks. The net has moved from being primarily a university tool to a major source of commercially valuable information. Some spend huge amounts of time connected. One survey of men in New York found that around one in five spent forty hours or more a week on the net, while 62% spent more than two hours a week on it. The average weekly use by men and women was 6.5 hours. Six out of ten said that they had cut down on television as a result, with some pundits predicting that internet use could exceed television audiences at Prime Time in some US cities.\n\nInternet addiction is becoming a medically recognised problem with signs of irritability following withdrawal. Some people get a huge buzz out of zipping around the world via their computers.\n\nChildren at risk?\n\nMore than a million children are estimated to be net users, raising fears of exposure to all kinds of undesirable influences. The net is a composite of everything that is good and everything that is bad in publishing, radio and in television as well as the murkier side of the video industry. Anarchists, bomb-makers, drug dealers, paedophiles and sellers of obscene materials can all operate almost without fear of control in the cyber-world.\n\nSince the net is becoming so secure it is hardly surprising that it has acted as a magnet for people who have something to hide. And since the internet search engines are so powerful, it is a matter of a few seconds to locate the one person in a million with a particular rare (and possibly dangerous) obsession or interest.

The private gold mine, despite its wealth and privilege, ultimately did no favors for anyone wearing an England shirt. It is a familiar, if unfortunate, parallel.\n\nRegardless of the underlying causes, England's Premier League stars continue their summer break from the league on Sunday night by arriving in Belo Horizonte already rendered irrelevant at this World Cup, just 53 days before the start of the new Premier League season.\n\nIt will take time to fully digest England's five-day exit from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. With the wounds of defeats by Italy and Uruguay still raw, one of the most baffling elements of the customary instant post-mortem has been the demand, variously expressed, that England's players apologize for their results. Wayne Rooney even went so far as to comply, offering a brief but convincing apology to the general public on his Facebook page.\n\nIt is to be hoped that no other players feel the need to follow suit, and that the whole vaguely preposterous idea of public apologies is quietly dropped. In fact, given half a moment's thought, it quickly becomes clear that this process should be turned on its head. If we truly care so much about England's fortunes at World Cups that apologies are deemed necessary, then the roles should be reversed. It is we—the public, empowered component parts of a society that continues to produce game but under-skilled footballers—who should be apologizing, both to the players and to each other.\n\nWe should apologize for the disappearance of our vital inner-city and suburban green spaces. We should apologize for standing by while the shared national treasure of state-school sport atrophies into underfunded inactivity. We should apologize for sitting on our sofas enjoying the brilliantly dressed product of another six-hour, soaring Super Sunday, created by a system that, while extremely successful in its staging, is clearly incompatible with also expecting English football to produce players capable of dominating the global stage at a World Cup.\n\nQuite frankly, there is a decent case for doing it properly. The government should step in and organize special camps in parks and open spaces where members of the public can queue to file past Fraser Forster and Gary Cahill to apologize personally for the selling off of playing fields, the lack of proper public facilities, and the absence of artificial pitches—all enacted by successive local and national governments.

Like the Trumps, Israel’s first family has been plagued by an endless drip of scandals, many of them dredged up by dogged investigative reporters. So, a few minutes after Air Force One landed, Sara, the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, tried to offer President Donald Trump a few sympathetic words. “The majority of the people of Israel, unlike the media, they love us,” she explained. “We have a lot in common,” Trump replied with a smirk.\n\nMired in controversy at home, the president has received a royal welcome in the Middle East, first in Saudi Arabia, then in Israel. On Monday, he met with the Israeli president, toured Christian and Jewish holy sites in the Old City, and had dinner with “my friend” Netanyahu. On Tuesday, he met with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank, where he remarked, “I intend to do everything I can to help” achieve peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Trump has said he hopes to accomplish “the ultimate deal” in solving what has turned out to be one of the most intractable conflicts in modern history. “I have a feeling that we’re going to get there eventually,” he said at a joint press conference with Netanyahu on Monday.\n\nGood luck to him. When it comes to forging peace in the region, Trump currently faces all the roadblocks of his predecessors, and more. The right-wing government in Jerusalem is loathe to make any concessions to the Palestinians, who are themselves split between Fatah and Hamas, the Islamist faction that controls Gaza. Trump himself may not have much political capital to spend on the peace process. Most of all, at this point, the conflict is stagnant; officials on both sides have learned to live with the status quo. Despite three Gaza wars, a string of stabbing and shooting attacks, and the daily indignities and violence of the occupation, there is a sense that the conflict is “managed.”\n\nBut the real wrench in Trump’s ambitious peace plans isn’t likely to be stagnation—it’s what’s going to change over the next four to eight years. Nothing stays static in the Holy Land for long. Likely by the end of his first term—and almost certainly by the end of his second if he is reelected—Trump will confront an entirely different political map in Israel and the occupied territories that he sees today. The Palestinians will likely plunge into a power vacuum and emerge with a new leader lacking any credibility. The Israeli prime minister could be hobbled by a slow-burning criminal probe. And the long-simmering crisis in Gaza will once again come to a boil, with a new war looming on the horizon.\n\nEven if Trump surprises everyone and makes a serious effort to bring peace, he may quickly find himself overtaken by events. “It’s quiet here, but then you think about what’s coming,” said an Israeli army officer in the West Bank. “And you realize we’re on a cliff.”\n\n***\n\nA few weeks after Trump’s election, Husam Zumlot chuckled unhappily when I asked him about his upcoming move to Washington. “The worst job in the world,” quipped the incoming Palestinian ambassador to the United States.

The views expressed are his own.\n\nI have spent my life working on artificial intelligence, and there are many reasons why I am fearful of the development of killer robots. Here are five of them.\n\nFirst, killer robots are near. You might be thinking of \"Terminator\"—a robot which, if you believe the movie, will be available in 2029. But the reality is that killer robots will be much simpler to begin with and are, at best, only a few years away. Think of the Predator drone and its aptly named Hellfire missiles, but with the human controller replaced by a computer program. This is technically possible today.\n\nSecond, there will be an arms race. Once this genie is out of the bottle, there will be an arms race to improve on the initially rather crude robots. The end point of such an arms race is precisely the sort of terrifying technology you see in \"Terminator.\" Hollywood got that part right. Moore's Law predicts that computer chips double in size every two years. We are likely to see similar exponential growth with killer robots. I vote to call this \"Schwarzenegger's Law\" to remind us of where it will end.\n\nThird, killer robots will proliferate. They will be cheap, and they will only get cheaper. Just look at the speed with which drones have dropped in price over the last few years. They will also be easy to make, at least crudely. Get yourself a quadcopter, add a smartphone and a gun or a small bomb, and then all you need is someone like me to write you some AI software. The military will love them, at least at first, as they do not need sleep or rest, long and expensive training, or evacuation from the battlefield when damaged. However, once the military start having to defend themselves against killer robots, they might change their mind.\n\nFourth, killer robots will be killing lots of civilians. According to The Intercept, during a five-month stretch of a 2011-2013 U.S. military operation against the Taliban and al Qaeda in the Hindu Kush, \"nearly nine out of 10 people\" who died in drone strikes \"were not the Americans' direct targets.\" This is when we still have a human in the loop, making that final life-or-death decision. The current state of the art in AI does not approach the situational awareness or decision-making of a human drone pilot. The statistics for a fully autonomous drone will therefore likely be even worse.\n\nOver time, they will get better, and I fully expect them to equal if not exceed human pilots. Different arguments then come into play. For example, killer robots will surely fall into wrong hands, including people who have no qualms about using them against civilians. They are a perfect weapon of terror. Killer robots will also lower the barriers to war. By further distancing us from the battlefield, they will turn war into a very real video game.\n\nFifth, killer robots will be hard to regulate. Tesla updates their Model S car to drive autonomously on the highway with a simple software update delivered over the air. We have to expect, therefore, that simple software updates will in the future be able to turn systems that are either not autonomous or not lethal into lethal autonomous weapons. This is going to make it very hard to control killer robots.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6354, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "5384ba7bb49ab603c609efba8423bd30e949be06", "raw_chars": 3476, "clean_chars": 2960, "edit_ratio": 0.8543, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I do not advise saying \"yes\" to everything, as that can be dangerous at times, much like in the movie, but I do recommend maintaining an open attitude. When you are open, you attract new experiences and people into your life, ensuring you never stay stagnant. Regardless of how bad or good your past was, it remains in the past and does not dictate your future. You must let go of it to make space for new opportunities.\n\nDo not feel sorry for yourself. Tony Robbins, a renowned motivational speaker, offers a compelling perspective on problems that we can all apply in our own lives. He explains that our 2-million-year-old brain is not programmed to make us happy; rather, it is designed to help us survive. Since we no longer face immediate threats like saber-toothed cats, we now worry about what others think of us, whether we have enough money, or if we can afford a vacation. This is simply the reality of our brain, and it is what we must deal with. To maintain a positive state of mind, Robbins introduced the 90-second rule. This rule suggests that when something negative happens, you allow yourself to feel the pain and emotional distress for exactly 90 seconds, but no longer. Once those 90 seconds are up, you let go of the past and keep moving forward.\n\nI do not know if you believe in the law of attraction, but I suggest you look into it. The core idea is that what you focus on, wish for, and visualize will be attracted into your life. For instance, if you wish to find a new job, visualize yourself already working there. If you want to earn more money, visualize yourself in a bigger house or driving an expensive car. In your visualization, you must see that you already possess these things and can easily afford them.\n\nThe law of attraction is not a science and cannot be measured. Nevertheless, many successful people believe in it and apply it in all areas of their lives. I am not necessarily saying you must believe in it. What I am trying to convey is that the law of attraction is fundamentally about seeing a better future, being open to new opportunities, and accepting them when they arise. That is the attitude you should cultivate.\n\nThe last point worth mentioning is that people often feel sorry for themselves. They lament their unsuccessful relationships, failed businesses, crashed cars, or addictions. The list can go on and on. However, most of the time, we feel sorry for ourselves for things that are entirely our own fault.\n\nIt is hard to accept the truth sometimes, but we must. The quicker you take full responsibility for your past, present, and future actions, the faster you can change your entire life.\n\nEverything is possible in life. It may not be possible today, but if you begin working hard to make it your reality, it will become possible in the future. Just remember to let go of the past and keep moving toward your dreams.\n\n\"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.\" — Napoleon Hill", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6367, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "84f4ad11f7fce19ed5f29cc95f7a750e893912eb", "raw_chars": 2264, "clean_chars": 1718, "edit_ratio": 0.7197, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On Monday morning, a business district in Kent, Washington, was evacuated after a suspicious bag was discovered on a Metro bus.

In a Friday Chicago Tribune article regarding the impending price increase for Divvy day passes, transportation reporter Jon Hilkevitch implied that the additional revenue was necessary because the bike-share system had been a financial drain. In making this claim, he overlooked a statement he had received from the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), which noted that when sponsorship and advertising revenue are factored in, Divvy actually generates income for the city.\n\nStarting this Wednesday, the price of a 24-hour pass will rise from $7 to $9.95. CDOT and Motivate, the company operating the Divvy concession, anticipate that this change will generate an additional $800,000 annually. The cost of an annual membership will remain at $75, which remains a bargain considering that a year of monthly CTA passes costs $1,200.\n\nThe day pass price increase will primarily impact visitors to Chicago, as approximately two-thirds of the passes are purchased by out-of-towners, according to CDOT. Furthermore, 86 percent of the system's roughly 27,400 annual members reside within the city limits. The new $9.95 price for a 24-hour pass places Divvy on par with New York City's Citi Bike, which is also operated by Motivate, while an annual membership in New York costs nearly twice as much at $149.\n\nHilkevitch framed the news to suggest that the higher day pass rate is a fiscal austerity measure for a bike-share system that is hemorrhaging cash. He wrote, \"The daily fee to rent a Divvy bike will jump by more than 40 percent next week because of a deficit and escalating costs to run the expanding bicycle-sharing system,\" adding that \"Divvy has yet to steer clear of red ink.\"\n\nThe reporter noted that the program's stated goals include achieving financial self-sufficiency and generating surplus revenue to help fund other bike infrastructure. He pointed out that the system, which launched in June 2013, posted a $171,000 operating loss for the remainder of that year and a $500,000 operating loss in 2014.\n\nHilkevitch's article was largely based on a statement provided by CDOT Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld. She stated that the department is raising the day pass price \"in order to maintain and build on Divvy's success and maintain the high level of service that our users are accustomed to.\"\n\nScheinfeld acknowledged that the original projections regarding usage fee revenue and operating costs were not entirely accurate. \"Divvy was launched at a time when big cities were just beginning to launch bike share programs and many of the financial predictions we made were based on other industries, without having a direct precedent to look to in the bike share world,\" she explained.\n\nHowever, she also made it clear to Hilkevitch that Divvy is profitable, thanks to its $12.5 million, five-year sponsorship deal with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, as well as income from advertising placards on the docking stations. \"The overall system revenue brings in income to Divvy and the city's bike programs,\" she said. \"Overall Divvy is not losing money. CDOT is investing the revenue from Divvy in bike infrastructure improvements such as bike lanes, bicycle safety education, and other programs that benefit the entire City of Chicago, not just Divvy users.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6377, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "e187d492c0e3907409cf923bdbc9c53b6ffae031", "raw_chars": 3477, "clean_chars": 3222, "edit_ratio": 0.2847, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Sun Grow employee Diego Cambron pours out one of the products. Officials have not ruled out allowing more dispensaries in the future, although city staff is still researching the idea and whether additional locations should be made available for shops and growing operations.\n\nDesert Hot Springs and Cathedral City, two desert communities with long histories of budget issues, have each capped the number of shops at three for now. Desert Hot Springs council members discussed changing city ordinances earlier this month to allow for more than three dispensaries, possibly opening the door for all 19 that applied for permits last year. However, council members have delayed any decision until at least next month.\n\nOpening a dispensary can be a significant investment, and owners point to high operating expenses, including staff pay, security, and government payments. The application process alone costs at least $13,725 in Desert Hot Springs. Another factor is how a store obtains its marijuana. \"If you grow your own marijuana, the potential profit margins are higher because you're growing everything from the time the marijuana seed is planted to when you're selling it to the customers,\" Walsh said.\n\nSun Grow is still completing work on a space in its store at Palm Drive and Dillon Road that will be used to cultivate marijuana. The software Sun Grow uses allows city officials to monitor transactions, though the city won't reveal tax revenues from a specific business since it is considered proprietary information. Nassar, like many dispensary operators, prefers talking about the health benefits of marijuana instead of the money that can be made. The 30-year-old Hemet native said he and business partner Anthony Lee looked into starting their shop after seeing potential for the plant to help people their parents' ages. Now they see it bettering the lives of customers, which have numbered around 1,000 in the first month.\n\n\"Medical marijuana is developing into new ways to help people and, as it's growing, we want to be there to take advantage of those medical benefits,\" Nassar said. \"We want to be able — with the money we make — to give back to the community. This is a business that can do that, and a lot of people overlook that side of it.\"\n\nA second dispensary opening in Desert Hot Springs soon will mean more direct competition for Sun Grow. The city requires them to be operated as non-profits. Opposition from a nearby church has not stopped plans for Brown Dog Health and Wellness to open on Pierson Boulevard in central Desert Hot Springs. The shop is moving toward an April 15 opening. Brown Dog's president, Andrew Milks, said the dispensary will succeed by having top-quality products and knowledgeable staff.

Telegraph communications worldwide began to fail, with reports of sparks showering from telegraph machines, shocking operators, and setting papers ablaze. A telegraph manager in Pittsburgh reported that the resulting currents flowing through the wires were so powerful that platinum contacts were in danger of melting, with \"streams of fire\" pouring forth from the circuits. Telegraph operator Frederick W. Royce was severely shocked when his forehead grazed a ground wire; a witness noted that an arc of fire jumped from Royce's head to the telegraphic equipment. When employees of the American Telegraph Company arrived at their Boston office at 8 a.m., they found it impossible to transmit or receive dispatches.

He provided consistently optimistic predictions about rising housing prices and labeled those who disagreed a “Chicken Little.” In 2006, at the peak of the housing bubble, he published a book entitled Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust—And How You Can Profit from It.\n\nWithin a year, the housing bubble popped. Between 2006 and 2012, housing prices nationwide fell by a third. Americans lost about $7 trillion in household wealth as a result of the real estate crash. Six million families lost their homes to foreclosure and short sales. As late as mid-2014, almost 10 million American households (about one in five of all mortgaged homes) were still “underwater”—their homes worth less than their mortgages. Millions of middle-class families watched their major source of wealth stripped away, their neighborhoods decimated, and their future economic security destroyed. Foreclosed homes in a neighborhood bring down the value of other houses in the area, magnifying the impact. The slowness of this recovery has much to do with the housing collapse.\n\nIn Other People’s Houses: How Decades of Bailouts, Captive Regulators, and Toxic Bankers Made Home Mortgages a Thrilling Business, Jennifer Taub explains how they got away with it and how this house of cards came crashing down. She names names—of greedy bankers, sleazy mortgage lenders, compliant politicians, indifferent government regulators, and occasional heroes who fought for stronger government oversight of banks and tougher consumer protections.\n\nTaub reminds us that the nation’s economic troubles were entirely preventable. She pinpoints the key decisions—primarily by presidents, cabinet secretaries, key members of Congress, and government bank regulators—that allowed banks to engage in an orgy of speculation that caused the mortgage meltdown and the subsequent economic crisis. They weren’t following some predetermined script. They were making conscious choices about which interests to serve. They knew what they were doing and what the consequences might be. But, blinded by greed, they simply didn’t care.\n\nTaub traces the 2008 financial crisis to the deregulation that began in the Carter years in the 1970s, accelerated during the Reagan-Bush period in the 1980s, and continued during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush eras. The 2008 disaster, she writes, was a replay of the savings-and-loan debacle of the 1980s, when hundreds of S&Ls and banks went under and the federal government was left to bail out the depositors whose money the speculators had looted to the tune of about $125 billion. At the end of each catastrophe, the industry consolidated, with fewer banks owning more assets. The nation’s ten largest banks increased their control of the industry’s assets from 21 percent in 1960 to 60 percent by 2005.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6397, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d6d5c47597c10936fd60a9d03f55fe0ed85a7dc3", "raw_chars": 2674, "clean_chars": 2818, "edit_ratio": 0.9192, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Warren Buffett has returned as the nation’s financial conscience, publishing an op-ed in yesterday’s New York Times that laments the dangers of excessive monetary and fiscal stimulus. As regular readers of this blog are aware, I wholeheartedly agree with that message. However, my problem with Buffett’s piece is that he makes a strong argument only to undercut it in his conclusion.\n\nHe writes that our immediate problem is to get the country back on its feet and flourishing, noting that \"whatever it takes\" still makes sense. But once recovery is gained, Congress must end the rise in the debt-to-GDP ratio and keep our growth in obligations in line with our growth in resources. This have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too approach is typical of what we hear from economists like Paul Krugman: yes, debt is a problem that must be dealt with in the long term, but in the meantime, we should increase deficit spending to boost growth. To paraphrase St. Augustine, make us fiscally and monetarily prudent, just not yet. Ben Bernanke said something similar in a speech, though he was trying to be funny.\n\nThe problem, it seems to me, is that rising GDP and employment—meaning a genuine \"recovery\"—is not compatible with de-leveraging, which is what Buffett is ultimately talking about. When consumers try to cut debt and boost savings, the economy falls into a deflationary spiral. Keynesians argue that this must be counteracted with fiscal and monetary stimulus. Essentially, when consumers de-leverage, the government re-leverages. Private consumption and government spending now drive roughly 80% of GDP. The economy cannot keep rising unless consumers, the government, or both continue borrowing huge sums.\n\nThe goldilocks economy Buffett describes, in which we can achieve \"recovery\" without increasing debt, is a fantasy. My point is that in order to reduce debt, we must endure some sort of deflationary recession. The alternative is to spend and print money perpetually, which Buffett correctly points out is the worse option. What Buffett should have said is simply that we must suck it up and learn to live with less.\n\nI think Buffett actually knows this, but being asset-rich, he is boxed in. Deflation hammers the value of all non-cash assets, so he must support monetary and fiscal stimulus to preserve his own wealth and that of his shareholders. This explains the opening of his piece, which lauds the \"wisdom, courage and decisiveness\" of the Bush and Obama administrations in the face of collapse, and the end of the piece, which states that their emergency measures continue to be necessary. He maligns the effects of stimulus, yet he is stuck supporting it.\n\nThis dynamic is often referred to as the \"Paradox of Thrift,\" a particularly problematic economic theory used to justify heavy government borrowing.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6400, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "5fb1cea97dc48f469dc48a16cc7a5e90d33eb9f7", "raw_chars": 3120, "clean_chars": 3224, "edit_ratio": 0.1135, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When a client connects to nsqd and subscribes to a channel, it is placed in a ready state of zero.

Without any additional commands, 100 messages will be pushed to the client as they become available, with the server-side ready count for that client decrementing each time.\n\nClient libraries are designed to send a command to update the ready count when it reaches approximately 25% of the configurable max-in-flight setting.

Founded in 2013, they are a collective of passionate young conservationists led by South African businessman and photojournalist Dex Kotze. Funds raised by the group since their inception have been vital in the sourcing of tracking dogs, vehicles, telecommunications and aviation communications, and pilot training to assist wildlife workers in the fight against illegal poaching.

The current work to relocate the station is progressing well, and this challenging engineering project is scheduled to be completed as planned by early March 2017. Bringing personnel home for the winter is a prudent precaution given the changes glaciologists have observed in the ice shelf in recent months. The goal is to winterise the station and leave it ready for re-occupation as soon as possible after the Antarctic winter.\n\nHalley VI Research Station is located on Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf, which is 150 meters thick. This floating ice shelf flows at a rate of 0.4 kilometers per year westward toward the sea, where it calves off as icebergs at irregular intervals. Halley is crucial to studies of globally important issues such as the impact of extreme space weather events, climate change, and atmospheric phenomena. It was ozone measurements taken at Halley that led to the discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole in 1985; these measurements are now being used to evaluate its recovery.\n\nLong-term monitoring of the natural changes occurring in the ice shelf has revealed recent growth of a chasm that was previously dormant for around 35 years. Preparatory work for the relocation was carried out during the 2015-16 Antarctic summer season, and moving the station is almost complete. This involved uncoupling the eight station modules and using large tractors to transport each module further inland. There have been six Halley research stations on the Brunt Ice Shelf since 1956.\n\nWhile the British Antarctic Survey is confident of mounting a fast uplift of personnel during the summer months if a fracturing of the ice shelf were to occur, the same cannot be said for winter.

Nevertheless, the launch represented a disturbing development in Pyongyang’s ongoing program to develop long-range missiles.\n\nWhy Fly Over Japan?\n\nThe test launch had two primary objectives. First, Kim Jong Un likely sought to gauge the international community’s response to the overflight of Japanese territory. Although North Korea had twice before attempted to launch a satellite using a flight path that passed over Japan, the Hwasong-12 was the first ballistic missile to overfly the island nation. If the U.S. response to the test firing is judged to be mild by Pyongyang, North Korea may feel that future flights will be similarly accepted by Washington and its regional allies.\n\nSecond, the flight was likely intended to evaluate the missile’s performance and reliability under operational conditions. Before the Hwasong-12 and the intercontinental-range Hwasong-14 can be deployed, engineers must demonstrate that they work reliably when flown to maximum range. To date, the two missiles have been launched on steep flight paths that reach high altitudes, ensuring that the mock warheads land in the sea just short of Japan. Much can be learned from these tests, but full-range flights replicating the conditions a combat-capable missile would experience are needed. This flight begins to address that requirement.\n\nIs North Korea Testing a Post-Boost Vehicle (PBV)?\n\nThe most recent Hwasong-12 flight ended with the mock warhead landing in the Pacific Ocean about 2,700 kilometers from the launch site, well short of its maximum range. North Korean engineers may have shut the Hwasong-12’s engine down early, resulting in a shorter flight. Turning off the engine roughly five seconds early would yield a range and apogee matching the reported values. Alternatively, the payload mass of the first test may have been considerably lighter than that of North Korea’s nuclear warhead, allowing the missile to achieve a much higher altitude, thus exaggerating the derived maximum range when the missile is flown on a standard flight path. For example, if the May flight carried a payload of 250 kilograms, and the most recent test fitted the Hwasong-12 with a 1,250-kilogram package, the range is reduced to about 2,700 kilometers, with a peak altitude of roughly 550 kilometers. Finally, the Hwasong-12 may have been flown on a non-optimal trajectory, one that was steeper or flatter than a normal flight path employed to maximize achievable range. However, the reported apogee of the Hwasong-12 flight is inconsistent with this explanation.\n\nAn alternative disturbing hypothesis is that tests of the missile have included a small post-boost vehicle (PBV) to provide extra boost to the payload after the main stage is discarded. The May 14 test of the Hwasong-12 was previously modeled, but could not replicate the flight’s reported apogee and range without the addition of a small PBV. The increased velocity provided by the PBV allows the payload to reach an apogee of 2,000 kilometers and travel about 700 kilometers in range. The hypothesis is consistent with observations made by others, including Norbert Brugge, who identified the existence of fuelling ports located just under the Hwasong-12’s reentry vehicle.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6421, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4f8aa747d129ec1ce5371f6498e228edbf4d069c", "raw_chars": 3434, "clean_chars": 3535, "edit_ratio": 0.4054, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The night shift is rarely anyone's first choice, but in certain professions and within the current economy, it is often unavoidable. Approximately 26 percent of the American workforce, including healthcare workers and sanitation staff, clocks in after dark, and this schedule may be taking a significant toll on their health.\n\nPast research has demonstrated that working when you are supposed to be in bed disrupts your circadian rhythm, raising the risk of heart disease, obesity, ulcers, and even depression. Now, reporting in the journal PLoS Medicine, scientists have also found that rotating night-shift work can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. According to Dr. Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, the backward schedule can interfere with the body's ability to use insulin properly to break down sugars in the blood.\n\nIn a study involving nearly 177,000 middle-aged women enrolled in two Nurses' Health Studies, researchers found that women who worked rotating night shifts for one to two years increased their risk of developing diabetes by 5 percent over a 20-year follow-up period, compared with women who were not assigned these shifts. Women who continued night work for 10 to 19 years increased their risk by 40 percent. Working on and off at night for more than 20 years boosted the risk of diabetes by 60 percent.\n\nBody weight is certainly part of the problem, as excess weight is a known risk factor for diabetes. People who work at night may snack more when they should be sleeping, and our bodies are metabolically trained to slow down as the sun sets. Consequently, the calories consumed during evening and night hours are less likely to be burned off efficiently and more likely to be stored as fat.\n\nIt is not just night work that causes problems. Simply not sleeping when you are supposed to, or not getting enough sleep, can also wreak havoc with your metabolism by pushing up levels of the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin and suppressing the appetite-curbing hormone leptin. Our circadian clocks also regulate body weight indirectly by controlling body temperature and blood glucose levels. \"The bottom line is there are probably multiple mechanisms through which disrupted sleep patterns or long-term rotating night shift work can influence the risk of Type 2 diabetes,\" says Hu.\n\nThe study focused on people who rotated night shift work, meaning they were not working nights routinely but perhaps once every few days or weeks. Hu notes that it is not clear whether those who regularly work at night, and therefore sleep during the day, can adjust their body clocks to avoid this increased risk of diabetes.\n\nWhat intrigued Hu and his team the most was the cumulative effect that night work had on diabetes risk. The longer people worked irregular hours at night, the higher their risk of developing the disease. \"It's something people should keep in mind,\" he says. \"If they minimize or reduce the time they work on night shifts, they may be able to attenuate their risk.\"\n\nThat is an important lesson for those who have to work at night. They might not be able to avoid the late hours, but they should remember that sticking with a night shift schedule for too long can be harmful to their health. Because these individuals may be at higher risk of developing diabetes, they should pay more attention to factors that can lower their risk, such as watching their diet, exercising, and getting screened for the disease more regularly.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6430, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "0830572690ece0d4f5bb35a4b7b55b66cbb22a03", "raw_chars": 822, "clean_chars": 899, "edit_ratio": 0.2516, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It appears to be an open-and-shut case.

None of the four women Lange spoke with were provided a copy of the contract they had signed.\n\nLange noted that \"8 Minutes\" did not handle the sex workers' information discreetly, observing that it took less than an hour to find contact details for three women using only the information broadcast on television. Gina, who was featured in the premiere episode, told Lange that she was promised assistance from the show, including help obtaining a car and finding housing, but these promises never materialized.

The insurgent political movement, which is currently running neck-and-neck in the polls with the Independence Party of the current ruling coalition, has promised to make Iceland a haven for whistleblowers, including the world’s most famous.\n\nIceland has long had favorable policies toward those looking to expose government wrongdoing. Snowden wouldn’t even be the first high-profile American to flee prosecution in the United States by settling in Iceland. Former chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer was given Icelandic citizenship in 2005 after the U.S. issued a warrant for his arrest following his participation in a chess tournament in Yugoslavia, breaking sanctions against the country.\n\nThe current leader of the Pirate Party, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, was an activist who supported Fischer’s relocation and was also a former collaborator with WikiLeaks. In fact, Iceland was the former home of the whistleblowing organization, and it was WikiLeaks that in 2010 helped draft one of the most favorable laws toward investigative journalism anywhere in the world.\n\nUnsurprisingly, the affection between Iceland and whistleblowers has been a mutual one. “My predisposition is to seek asylum in a country with shared values,” Snowden told The Guardian in 2013 shortly after his first trove of leaked documents was released while he was in Hong Kong. “The nation that most encompasses this is Iceland. They stood up for people over internet freedom.”\n\nA bill to give Snowden citizenship was even introduced later that year in Iceland’s parliament before being struck down. And his hopes were dealt a further blow when the 2013 Icelandic parliamentary elections saw the center-right alliance of the Progressive and Independence parties come to power.\n\nThe Pirate Party won just three seats in Iceland’s 63-member parliament in that election, but as a result of a disclosure in the Panama Papers released earlier this year which led to the resignation of Iceland’s then prime minister, public distrust of the political establishment has grown yet further.\n\nThe Pirate Party, and Snowden, who has spent the past three years in Russia, could now be set to benefit.\n\nThe party, which started just four years ago with a call for total government transparency, has already announced that it would be prepared to form an alliance with the three other center-left or left-wing parties, which could take it over the 50 percent threshold to form a government.\n\nAs well as transparency, direct democracy and decriminalizing drugs, the Pirate Party has made freedom for whistleblowers a key part of its platform.\n\n“Make Iceland a global pioneer when it comes to protecting freedom of information, freedom of expression and freedom of the press,” it reads.\n\nWith the difficulties of applying for asylum abroad, Jónsdóttir has made it clear that granting Snowden citizenship is her preferred option.\n\n“I think it’s dangerous to just give him asylum because asylum does not give you the same protections as citizenship,” she told Forbes last year.\n\nFor citizen status to happen, though, the Pirate Party would also need to get the approval of parliament, where it could face a challenge for approval given the likely impact on relations with the U.S.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6450, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "1e2399e0a2cab8c9c1779835298ed52919371092", "raw_chars": 889, "clean_chars": 874, "edit_ratio": 0.0301, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We were delighted, as it is a real coup for us to have someone of his calibre stay here—a world champion at the top of his game, who then complimented us on the food and service.

The offseason was marked by Jerry Jones’s conspicuous quietude regarding roster moves, particularly following a disastrous 4-12 campaign. The most prominent addition was first-round pick Ezekiel Elliott, a talented running back from Ohio State. It remains a mystery why Jones did not pursue a veteran backup quarterback to protect Tony Romo, whose fragile collarbone is just a hard shot away from ruining another season.\n\nOn the plus side, Dallas did not suffer many notable defections. Jones jettisoned volatile defensive end Greg Hardy, a move that will likely prove to be a case of addition by subtraction. Guard Mackenzy Bernadeau, a middling talent, left for the Jaguars in free agency.\n\nThe start of training camp could not come fast enough for the Cowboys after an ugly winter and summer filled with injury concerns and discipline issues. Moving into a glitzy new practice facility was the biggest highlight of an otherwise rough offseason. The defensive front seven will start the season in disarray due to NFL suspensions of linebacker Rolando McClain and defensive ends Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence, which came in rapid-fire succession last month.\n\nRomo is by far the biggest worry. He is coming off repeated collarbone injuries and surgery that caused him to miss all but four games last season, the primary reason Dallas slumped from 12-4 to 4-12. The only backups are Kellen Moore, who went 0-2 while completing just 59 percent of his passes last year, and rookie Dak Prescott, a read-option quarterback from Mississippi State.\n\nThe teams split their series 1-1 last season. The Cowboys' preseason schedule includes games at the Rams on August 13, against the Dolphins on August 19, at the Seahawks on August 25, and against the Texans on September 1.\n\nPhiladelphia Eagles\n\nDoug Pederson enters his first season as coach, a curious choice to replace the axed Chip Kelly. On the player side, the Eagles caused one of the biggest commotions of the offseason by mortgaging their future to take quarterback Carson Wentz, out of North Dakota State, with the No. 2 overall pick. The move was controversial, coming just weeks after Philadelphia gave Sam Bradford a lucrative new deal and signed veteran backup Chase Daniel. Other key additions include guard Brandon Brooks from the Texans, safety Rodney McLeod from the Rams, and former Giants wide receiver Rueben Randle.\n\nAfter Kelly was fired, newly re-empowered general manager Howie Roseman wasted no time in putting his mark on the franchise. He traded running back DeMarco Murray to the Titans and linebacker Kiko Alonso to the Dolphins. Murray was a bust in his lone season in Philadelphia, and the Eagles still have Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles in the backfield.\n\nChange is in the air for the Birds after three years of Kelly’s unorthodox stewardship, which included missing the playoffs in the past two seasons. The roster is thin, especially at wide receiver and throughout a defense that ranked third-worst in the NFL last season. However, all of the focus in camp—and no doubt beyond—will be on the Eagles’ extremely crowded quarterback situation. Bradford has already shown his displeasure with Wentz’s arrival by boycotting part of the offseason workouts. The team’s talk of giving Wentz a redshirt year seems far-fetched given the high price paid for him and the pressure to win now.\n\nPhiladelphia swept the series against the Giants 2-0 last season.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6463, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "26d8c0bd667fef2b55bd8f3edb3926eb82023497", "raw_chars": 865, "clean_chars": 884, "edit_ratio": 0.0269, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To ensure a smooth transition from the Animation component, we had to make sure that the SimpleAnimation component's behavior was as close as possible to that of the original Animation component.

Maskin, a Nobel Prize-winning economist who teaches at Harvard University. Today’s Molesley might be a former printing press machinist now restocking shelves at Wal-Mart.\n\nEstate, or inheritance, taxes can be useful\n\nTaxes threaten Downton and force Lord Grantham to consider extreme measures to save the estate. Patmore’s battle pales in importance next to the overarching theme of the show: the crushing tax burden that threatens Downton and forces Lord Grantham to consider extreme measures to save it. Most Americans call them estate or inheritance taxes, but like today’s critics of the tax, Grantham calls them “death taxes.”\n\nHis wife, Cora, an adaptable American, is philosophical. “The world has changed. A lot of people live in smaller houses than they used to,” she says. But her husband tells his accountant, “I’ve sacrificed too much to Downton to give in now. I refuse to be the failure, the earl who dropped the torch and let the flame go out.”\n\nBritain imposed inheritance taxes in 1894 at a modest 8 percent top rate, but during World War I, Britain’s public debt ballooned to 150 percent of GDP. So the Finance Act of 1919 raised the top rate to 40 percent on estates whose value exceeded 2 million pounds, according to the Tax Foundation.\n\n“The inheritance tax issue creates a nice tension,” Maskin writes in an e-mail. “We fans naturally root for the family to hold on to the estate. But Lord Grantham’s economic judgment is terrible, and so getting the place out of his control (through taxes or otherwise) might be the best outcome — not only for progressives but for proponents of efficiency.”\n\n“The taxes do make sense economically — but still we take the family’s side,” says Maskin. “That’s one reason the show’s so compelling.”\n\nThe wealthy should do some estate planning\n\nWhen Lady Mary’s husband died, he left her with his half-share of Downton, putting his wife in a pickle because of inheritance taxes. She asks her brother-in-law Tom Branson what to do.\n\nGrantham’s son-in-law Matthew Crawley — in an emotional but costly gesture — wrote a note (not a formal will) leaving his half-share of Downton to his wife, Mary. Today, that would be good planning, because a spouse does not have to pay inheritance taxes until his or her death. That wasn’t the case in Britain back then; all Mary received was a 100-pound exemption. And it meant that Matthew’s half of the estate would be taxed twice, once on Matthew’s death and once on Mary’s, before passing to their son, George.\n\n“Seems odd really,” says Tom Branson, the Irish former chauffeur who married into the family, “that you have to pay just as much tax as if he’d left it to Mrs. Tiggywinkle down the road. That’s how it works.”\n\n“So what are we to do?” Mary asks.\n\nTom says, “Your father believes we should sell land and pay it off in one lump.”\n\nAccording to the London Telegraph, the family living in the real-life estate of Highclere, where Downton is filmed, was forced to sell its extraordinary art collection — including works by da Vinci and Gainsborough — at Christie’s in 1926 to save the property.\n\nLuckily, Tom has another plan.\n\nBeware of speculative bubbles fueled by cheap foreign capital", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6469, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "14a501a9f639ba4e4545b0707994168464f3ce4b", "raw_chars": 3407, "clean_chars": 3296, "edit_ratio": 0.3669, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "U.S. officials have grown increasingly concerned that American military aid to the Lebanese army is inadvertently arming Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militant group that has been stockpiling advanced weaponry along Israel's border.

Born around 1502, he was raised in Cardinal Wolsey’s household, where he fell in love with Anne Boleyn upon her return to the English court in late 1521. However, his father had already arranged for Percy to marry Mary Talbot, the daughter of George Talbot, the fourth Earl of Shrewsbury. Additionally, Anne was expected to marry James Butler, the son of Piers Butler of Ireland. Consequently, Wolsey and Percy’s father intervened to end the relationship between Percy and Anne. Percy married Mary Talbot in 1524, but the marriage was unhappy. In 1532, Mary accused her husband of being pre-contracted to Anne Boleyn. Percy was examined by the Archbishops of York and Canterbury, and he swore that there was no truth to the allegation.\n\nPercy served Henry VIII as warden of the east and middle marches and was one of the peers appointed to judge George and Anne Boleyn in May 1536. He collapsed after Anne’s death sentence was pronounced, and his illness prevented him from taking an active role in the Pilgrimage of Grace. This may have been fortunate, as his brothers, Thomas and Ingram, were arrested for their involvement; Thomas was executed, and Ingram died in prison in the Tower of London.\n\nAntiquary John Weever, in his book Ancient Funerall Monument, mentions the tomb of Henry Percy at Hackney and records the following inscription: \"Here lieth interred, Henry lord Percy, earl of Northumberland, knight of the most honourable order of the Garter, who died in this town the last of June 1537, the 29th of HEN VIII.\"\n\nAlso on this day in history:\n\nIn 1509, Lady Margaret Beaufort, grandmother of Henry VIII and the matriarch of the Tudor dynasty, died at Cheyneygates, the Abbot of Westminster’s house.\n\nIn 1536, Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire, was stripped of his office of Lord Privy Seal.

This could possibly be Frank Lampard's first visit to Orlando, if he actually shows up in July as suggested.\n\nGiven the names of Western Conference teams visiting Orlando based on the new conference alignment this winter, Orlando City is expected to make trips to visit the Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers, Houston Dynamo, San Jose Earthquakes, and Real Salt Lake. Those will surely be some tough road matches in their first MLS season.\n\nThere you have it. If you search around for other teams' schedules, you might be able to find some Orlando City road games.

The country’s new official name is now the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, replacing the previous title of the Union of Myanmar.\n\nThe military, which has ruled since a 1962 coup, previously changed the country’s English name from Burma to Myanmar in 1989. This occurred a year after widespread protests against military rule were crushed and a year before the last election. That election was won by the party of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, but the military ignored the result. Suu Kyi has spent 15 of the past 21 years in detention.\n\nThe new flag features a horizontal band of light green at the top, dark green in the center, and red at the bottom, with a white star in the middle. There has been no official explanation as to what the colors or the star represent. Nor has there been any explanation as to why the changes, which include a new state seal, were being made.\n\nOfficials in various government departments told Reuters they were ordered to change the flags. One official, who declined to be identified, said, \"We were caught by surprise when we got the order at short notice.

Despite being one of the most influential musicians of his generation, Dylan seems to have drawn significant inspiration from what might otherwise be considered a mundane subject. Research indicates that 163 of Dylan’s 542 songs reference the weather, making him the artist most likely to mention it. His famous tracks include \"Blowin' in the Wind,\" while \"Subterranean Homesick Blues\" features the iconic lyrics: \"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.\"\n\nThe findings were compiled by climate scientists from five leading universities, including Southampton, Oxford, Newcastle, Nottingham, and Reading. The Beatles ranked second, mentioning weather in 48 of their 308 songs, or 16 percent. Their weather-related tracks include \"Good Day Sunshine\" and \"Rain.\" The song \"Rain,\" written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was inspired by a trip to Melbourne, where Lennon remarked that he had never seen rain like that except in Tahiti and was struck by people constantly complaining about the weather. George Harrison wrote \"Here Comes the Sun\" after leaving a business meeting in April 1969, which he described as the \"first sunshine of the year.\" Scientists noted that April 1969 recorded 189 hours of sunshine, a record that stood until 1984.\n\nResearchers suggest that Dylan's frequent references to weather may stem from his upbringing in the harsh climate of Minnesota. The Beatles came in a close second, with 16 percent of their songs mentioning the weather. No other artist comes close to these two leaders, so the researchers did not name a third, fourth, or fifth place.\n\nThe researchers, who conducted the study in their spare time, analyzed the KaraFun database, which stores 15,000 songs. They identified 419 songs about the weather, with 190 featuring it as a main theme and 229 where it appeared as a repeated line or chorus. In contrast, only 7 percent of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, as compiled by Rolling Stone magazine, mention the weather.\n\nLead author Dr. Sally Brown from the University of Southampton commented, \"We were all surprised how often weather is communicated in popular music, whether as a simple analogy or a major theme of a song, such as Bob Dylan's \"Blowin' in the Wind\" or the Hollies' \"Bus Stop,\" where a couple falls in love under an umbrella.\" Sun and rain featured in 37 percent of the weather references, with wind in third place. The researchers found that extreme weather events, such as tornados and blizzards, barely featured in the songs.\n\nThe study noted that the sun is often portrayed with positive feelings and is more likely to be in a major key, whereas rain can frame either good or bad emotions, making it more likely than the sun to appear in a minor or mixed key. Additionally, many songs with secondary references in the database had little or nothing to do with the weather, such as \"Ice Ice Baby\" by Vanilla Ice, \"Daddy Cool\" by Boney M, and \"Benny and the Jets\" by Elton John.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6504, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "921b7fdb4cffcd1492bef0cc7913b8e236ea49c8", "raw_chars": 1341, "clean_chars": 1346, "edit_ratio": 0.0897, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Democratic Socialists of America has grown astronomically over the last year, now standing at over 24,000 members.

There's a streetlight alternating between stop and yield and go and I stare at the changing colors like it's a kaleidoscope.

The Armatix iP1 contains electronic chips that communicate with a separately purchased watch; the gun cannot be fired without the watch present.\n\nThe hostility quickly turned personal.

There are many lines of empirical evidence that detect the human fingerprint in global warming.\n\nThe Human Fingerprint in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide\n\nThat rising carbon dioxide is caused by human CO2 emissions should be obvious when comparing CO2 levels to CO2 emissions. Confirmation that rising carbon dioxide levels are due to human activity comes from analyzing the types of carbon found in the air. The carbon atom has several different isotopes, such as different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while Carbon-13 has 7. Plants have a lower C13/C12 ratio than the atmosphere. If rising atmospheric CO2 comes from fossil fuels, the C13/C12 ratio should be falling. Indeed, this is what is occurring, and the trend correlates with the trend in global emissions.\n\nFurther confirmation comes by measuring oxygen levels in the atmosphere. When fossil fuels are burned, the carbon in the fossil fuels joins with oxygen, creating carbon dioxide. As CO2 increases in the atmosphere, oxygen decreases. Observations show oxygen levels are falling at a rate consistent with the burning of fossil fuels.\n\nThe Human Fingerprint in the Increased Greenhouse Effect\n\nSatellites measure infrared radiation as it escapes out to space. A comparison between satellite data from 1970 to 1996 found that less energy is escaping to space at the wavelengths that greenhouse gases absorb energy. Thus, the paper found \"direct experimental evidence for a significant increase in the Earth's greenhouse effect.\" This result has been confirmed by more recent data from several different satellites.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6517, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "5185ceaccb72dba0453a90c12f60ac056c037662", "raw_chars": 3228, "clean_chars": 3208, "edit_ratio": 0.234, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Even more impressive is that the Cubs are accomplishing this in the modern era. No other team on the aforementioned lists played after World War II, and for good reason: the game had considerably less parity before integration, the draft, and revenue-sharing made it harder for the best teams to dominate the worst. The Cubs are the only post-World War II team to rank in the top 15 in terms of run ratio. Here is the same list since 1946.\n\nThat is not a gap; it is a chasm as vast as Secretariat with a jetpack. Yes, we are only a third of the way through the season, but even if we compare the 2016 Cubs to other squads at the 55-game mark, they are still ahead of every team in more than a century.\n\nWhat the Cubs have done in the last two months is without precedent in the memory of anyone alive today.\n\nWhile it would be logical to assume the Cubs will not continue to play this well all year, there are no red flags screaming regression in their lineup. Fowler and Zobrist are unlikely to maintain their current batting lines, but Heyward probably will not slug .299 all season either. Rizzo is hitting exactly as well as he did in 2014 and 2015, and Bryant, who has cut his strikeout rate by a third from his rookie season, along with Russell, are good bets to continue the steady improvement they have shown as sophomores.\n\nIn part because of the season-ending injury to left fielder Schwarber, one of the three best hitters on the team as a rookie in 2015, the Cubs' lineup is not, at least on the surface, all that impressive. It is middle-of-the-pack in terms of power, speed, and batting average. But it leads the National League in runs per game because it is the epitome of what Epstein and Hoyer want their offense to be: the Cubs grind out at-bats and make pitchers throw strikes. In this regard, they are not just the best in the NL and better than the 2000s Red Sox teams that Epstein and Hoyer built; they might be the best team of all time.\n\nThe Cubs have drawn 250 walks in 55 games, an average of 4.55 walks per game. The average NL team has drawn just 3.23 walks per game, meaning the Cubs are on pace to draw 213 more walks than a league-average team. That would be, easily, a National League record.\n\nThe Cubs preach plate discipline, and they preach it, and they preach it some more. They target it in the free agents they sign, as Zobrist is like the Pied Piper of plate discipline, and Fowler and Heyward have always had that skill in their bag. They also encourage it in their young players, as Russell and Soler have both taken a step forward in their walk rate this year. The Cubs take their walks so they can get on base, as they are second in the NL in on-base percentage, so they can score runs.\n\nBut the pitching staff is the linchpin to their greatness.

She was launched on 1 August 1970, cosponsored by Mrs. James C. Curry and Mrs. Robert Svinger. The ship was commissioned on 31 July 1971, with Cmdr. Francisco Velazquez-Suarez of the USN serving as commanding officer. Her hull number was originally designated DE-1063 but was changed to FF-1063 in 1975.\n\nThe Knox-class design was derived from the Brooke-class frigate, modified to extend range and without a long-range missile system. The ships had an overall length of 438 feet (133.5 m), a beam of 47 feet (14.3 m), and a draft of 25 feet (7.6 m). They displaced 4,066 long tons (4,131 t) at full load. Their crew consisted of 13 officers and 211 enlisted men.\n\nThe warships were equipped with one Westinghouse geared steam turbine that drove a single propeller shaft. The turbine was designed to produce 35,000 shaft horsepower (26,000 kW), using steam provided by two C-E boilers, to reach a designed speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph). The Knox class had a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km; 5,200 mi) at a speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).\n\nThe Knox-class ships were armed with a 5-inch/54 caliber Mark 42 gun forward and a single 3-inch/50 caliber gun aft. They mounted an eight-round ASROC launcher between the 5-inch gun and the bridge. Close-range anti-submarine defense was provided by two twin 12.75-inch (324 mm) Mk 32 torpedo tubes. The ships were equipped with a torpedo-carrying DASH drone helicopter; its telescoping hangar and landing pad were positioned amidships aft of the mast. Beginning in the 1970s, the DASH was replaced by a SH-2 Seasprite LAMPS I helicopter, and the hangar and landing deck were accordingly enlarged. Most ships also had the 3-inch gun replaced by an eight-cell BPDMS missile launcher in the early 1970s.\n\nReasoner first deployed with HSL 31 \"Lamps\" SH2D in 1973 to Southeast Asia, where she took part in Operation End Sweep, the removal of mines in Haiphong Harbor. The Reasoner was decommissioned on 28 August 1993 and subsequently leased to Turkey, where the ship was recommissioned as Kocatepe. On 22 February 2002, she was finally purchased by Turkey. On 4 May 2005, the ship was used as a target and sunk in the Mediterranean Sea.\n\nDuring her service, the Reasoner received several awards and decorations, including the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Navy Unit Commendation, Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, two Navy \"E\" Ribbons, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the National Defense Service Medal with a service star, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal with a bronze star, the Southwest Asia Service Medal with a bronze star, the Humanitarian Service Medal with a bronze star, the Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, and the Kuwait Liberation Medal from Kuwait.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6561, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "1ce3d278e074624afb872e5f88ec6eb6671fb72a", "raw_chars": 3493, "clean_chars": 3543, "edit_ratio": 0.5071, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Paradigm Change in Mexico: Independent Candidates\n\nAndrés de la Peña\nNov 16, 2017\n\nIndependent candidates, including \"El Bronco,\" María de Jesús, and Álvarez Icasa, are pictured in an image by alternativo.mx.\n\nIn the year 2000, Mexico underwent what was widely described by both the new government and the population as a \"democratic transition.\" The country had evolved from an autocratic regime into a single-party system. Over the following years, Mexico developed into a dominant-party system where genuine opposition was possible, even if it had little chance of winning an election. In 2000, Vicente Fox of the National Action Party (Partido de Acción Nacional) won the presidency, ending the long-standing rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional).\n\nAlthough the PRI appeared under a different name and in a different era of Mexican history, it had managed to survive in a \"soft\" authoritarian fashion for 75 years and 14 presidencies. Members of the PRI have been responsible for some of the most malicious acts of corruption and violence in Mexico's history, including the student massacres of 1968 and 2014. The paradigm shift of an existing opposition government shook Mexico and forever changed its politics. Several effects can be attributed to the end of the single-party regime: increased transparency, a reinforced freedom of information policy, a shift from vertical corruption to a \"free-for-all\" system, massive administrative changes, and the liberalization of journalism, among other positive and negative consequences.\n\nOne of the effects of the \"democratic transition\" was a constant change in electoral dynamics. First, political alliances were formally introduced, and starting with the 2012 presidential elections, Mexican parties began forming coalitions to garner votes. While this should have been a straightforward move toward democracy, in practice it fell far short of that ideal. To date, there have only been two notable alliances worthy of national attention: the PRI-PVEM-PANAL coalition and the more recent 2017 alliance between PAN, MC, and PRD.\n\nWhile this alliance system initially seemed like a great opportunity, the only two alliances that emerged from it have been extremely controversial. The first alliance was widely regarded as an attempt by the PRI to maintain a sliver of control over Mexico after the democratic transition removed them from power. The PRI-PVEM-PANAL alliance grouped two small \"opposition\" parties that worked to split the opposition vote during the 2012 presidential election, contributing in part to the PRI's victory. On the other hand, the PAN-MC-PRD alliance includes parties that have traditionally opposed each other on fundamental values, such as political liberalism versus political interventionism, and are also seen as trying to expand their political control through an alliance.\n\nThis is how a theoretically democratic idea is twisted under Mexico's toxic political environment. The alliance system has produced little democratic progress, as the only notable alliances are clearly motivated by internal party dynamics rather than an actual ideological push or an attempt at wider representation of interests. This time around, the new flavor being introduced in the presidential campaign is that of independent candidacies, a controversial topic and a very good idea on paper.

Tim showed it to me one time, and I have been using it for roughly a year to pass half guard with a lot of success. I do not always go to the leg drag from it, but it is very rare that I do not get a pass when I do it correctly.\n\nAt the end of the workshop, Tim discusses that once you are familiar with the leg drag, you will see it everywhere. He goes over a number of different places you will see it from, such as the berimbolo. Being a horrible berimbolo player myself, I love the option to come up into the leg drag. I also really like that Tim gives out a lesson plan during his workshops to help attendees retain what they learned that day.\n\nGround Zero Workshop\n\nIn this workshop, Tim really stresses the leg drag as a position, and not a pass. I believe this is similar to how people like Nino Schembri view the omoplata as a position and not a submission.\n\nI would get out a pen, pencil, and paper, or be typing on your computer while watching this. The number of details is insane, and they all make a huge difference between being able to do it versus white belts and versus advanced belts.\n\nMy favorite part of this workshop is not only the leg drag instruction, but also the questions and drills sections at the end. Tim shows a lot of awesome drills to increase your leg drag skills outside of longer techniques.\n\nA fun note that only teachers will pick up on is that Tim always snaps his fingers when he is speaking about his hands. This is to help you have an auditory cue on where to look and also so he does not have to keep differentiating between saying left and right. This is an awesome veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teacher tool that I first picked up from watching Roy Dean, and I have seen Tim do it in person, so it is really cool to see Tim do it in his workshops.\n\nOverall Impression\n\nI really like that Tim sticks to some more solid pressure-passing style leg drags versus the more common 'ankle grab' leg drag. He does so because even when you have ankle control, you still have to get past the shins and hips to pass, which is incredibly difficult against a seasoned guard player.\n\nThe amount of information on this DVD is fantastic. It is not too much to overwhelm and be worthless, but not too little either. The instructional is phenomenal. Tim is an excellent teacher and provides every key detail. The techniques are well chosen. Most of these are techniques I have not seen elsewhere, on YouTube or otherwise.\n\nOverall, I think this DVD would be a great value at $75 or more, and it is an absolute steal at $35.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6594, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "64fc1970f2398831de040147405def8d10cb441a", "raw_chars": 2932, "clean_chars": 2820, "edit_ratio": 0.0821, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Inmates in the film The House I Live In. (Photo courtesy of Derek Hallquist)\n\nThere are two documentary films on limited release right now that, by rights, should be mandatory viewing for every human being in the United States old enough to comprehend them. David France’s How to Survive a Plague and Eugene Jarecki’s The House I Live In are both movies that address fundamentally important issues left out of both the official historical narrative and our contemporary political discourse. It is either ironic or bitterly appropriate that the two films were first released in the period immediately before the US presidential election, a time when the political conversations being played out in the national media are usually at their lowest level.\n\nNot that they get much coverage at the best of times, but you can add mass incarceration and the war on drugs (the interconnected subjects of The House I Live In) to the US drone strikes program, climate change and any other urgent, hugely important issue that was either left out of the presidential debates and campaigns or had its worst aspects actively celebrated.\n\nThis is hardly surprising: Jarecki makes it very, very clear that support for the drug war – not just perpetuating it, but constantly ratcheting it up and thus imprisoning ever more socially and economically disadvantaged Americans – is horribly bipartisan. Some of the politicians we see in archive footage, sternly denouncing drugs and espousing harsh policies that have devastated communities, are still leading lights of the Democratic party, like Joe Biden, and both Hillary and Bill Clinton. And their support for these policies seems to give few progressives pause.\n\nThis is partly because, as The House I Live In shows, we have allowed the stereotypes and narrative of drug war propaganda to permeate and become embedded within our world view. Reefer Madness scare stories and opium den caricatures from historical archives seem laughable to us now, so clearly fact-free in their scaremongering that their naked racism hardly seems sinister. But as Jarecki illustrates, with each new drug come the same scare stories, and the more recent they are, the more plausible they seem: from the super-strength granted by crack and PCP to the face-eating user of “bath salts.”\n\nMoreover, each new drug scare is associated with, and becomes justification for, policies that disproportionately impact a specific racial group politically useful to repress: from Chinese Americans on the West Coast in the 19th century (opium) to African-American communities in the 1980s (crack). Jarecki does not discount the seriousness of the effects of drug addiction; rather, his film shows how the specter of drugs’ effects on society has been deployed in racist, discriminatory and politically manipulative ways.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6593, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "2708af1ce7f3f346043aa84e0e0e1a2f7dc1e904", "raw_chars": 3356, "clean_chars": 3361, "edit_ratio": 0.0162, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Still, it is very hard to quantify the DPS gain from the Sweep Attack, but playing Crusader is always a ~5% DPS buff even without Sweep Attack and with Judgment's poor uptime taken into account. However, the DPS potential due to Sweep Attack can theoretically be so insane in \"dream maps\" that it can justify dropping the Monk if you are at your DPS ceiling. In the end, my opinion is that you will have to decide what's best for your group and what you prefer to play.\n\nNote that I'm only talking about the 4-player metagame here. The toughness buffs from Monk are likely mandatory in 2-player and 3-player games (With the current Twister build at least, but the concept of Tal Rasha 6P is mostly locking the Wizard build anyway). But maybe we just didn't think enough about it!\n\nThe build:\n\nHero Details\n\nDiabloFans Build\n\nHow it works:\n\nI gave up the Roland 6P (250% Attack Speed Bonus) that I tried back in 2.4 to get the Roland 2P (Cooldowns Reset with Sweep Attack) along with the Akkhan 4P (50% RCR while in Akarat and 50% CDR on Akarat) instead.\n\nOne of the keys of the build is to use the Akkhan's Addendum in the Cube Weapon Slot which gives you Prophet Rune (150% Armor & Cheat Death Proc) and Embodiment of Power Rune (+5 Wrath Regen) of Akarat Champion and allows you to take Rally Rune.\n\nThe Rally Rune is basically resetting all your cooldowns when you use it. One of the other keys to the build is Akarat's Awakening that will reset your cooldowns every time you block, as with both Justice Lantern and Hold Your Ground Passive, you can be block-capped. Thus, all of this will allow you to put down a lot of Consecration very fast and will also allow you to handle your cooldowns and Zodiac ring procs easily, giving you enough freedom to focus on sweeping mobs.\n\nThe gameplay is quite obvious and simple: You have to stack Consecration on the floor to get healing, while Sweeping mobs wisely (No mindless spam) into the Twister range. Always use Consecration and Law just before using Rally Akarat (which will reset them) in order to enhance your Consecration Stacking and Zodiac Ring Procs.\n\nYou have to use Judgment wisely too, because it roots enemies, you have to figure out the best way to use it: Only on the mobs already stacked with Gathering Sweep into Twister Range, right before an Arcane CoE... Condemn is still very useful to pack density and sometimes keeping it together but Shield Glare may likely be a viable option to get 20% damage buff.\n\nIt seems to me that the build is pretty strong in its current state and may likely be the best group setup while fishing for a dream map in high endgame. The coordination of the group and the teamplay is likely way more difficult to master than with a Monk though.\n\nRemember that the metagame is never settled in stone and copy/paste builds from Rank 1 guys doesn't mean you are playing the best setup (Or the only viable setup). There are so many build-possibilities, so many group synergies that maybe nobody thought about yet, that you can't just say \"If Rank 1 is playing this, it is the best build/setup, no matter what\". No.\n\nThus I wanted to thank my mates LouLou, Hustle and S0RRY who are very smart/good players and always want to try out new builds and group setups.

Richards from the University of York is studying one of the winter camps of the Great Army. The encampment, known as Torksey today, was large enough to accommodate 3,000 to 4,000 people, but discoveries there indicate that the Great Army was more than a fighting force. Metalsmiths melted down plunder, and merchants conducted trade. Children raced through the muddy fields, and women went about their work—which may have included leading men in battle in some parts of the Viking world.\n\nOne famous early Irish text records how a woman known as Inghen Ruaidh, or Red Girl after the color of her hair, led a fleet of Viking ships to Ireland in the 10th century. Bioarchaeologist Anna Kjellström of Stockholm University recently reanalyzed the skeletal remains of a Viking fighter found in the old trading center of Birka, in Sweden. Mourners had furnished the grave with an arsenal of deadly weapons, and for decades archaeologists assumed that the elite fighter was male. But while studying the warrior’s pelvic bones and mandible, Kjellström discovered that the individual was in fact a woman.\n\nThis nameless Viking woman seems to have commanded the respect of many Viking warriors. \"On her lap she had gaming pieces,\" says archaeologist Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson of Uppsala University. \"This suggests that she was the one planning the tactics and that she was a leader.\"\n\nThe fleets that carried death and destruction to western Europe also transported slaves and commodities to markets scattered from Turkey to western Russia, and possibly Iran. Medieval Arab and Byzantine officials described convoys of armed Viking slavers and merchants known as the Rus who regularly voyaged along river routes to the Black and Caspian Seas. \"I have never seen more perfect physiques than theirs,\" observed Ahmad Ibn Fadlan, a 10th-century Arab soldier and diplomat from Baghdad. \"Every one of them carries an ax, a sword, and a dagger.\"\n\nTo shed light on this southern trade, archaeologists are now excavating sites along the routes to the Byzantine and Muslim worlds. On a late June morning some 230 miles southwest of Moscow, Veronika Murasheva, an archaeologist at the State Historical Museum in Moscow, walks the bank of the Dnieper River where a small medieval city once stood. Founded by Viking explorers more than 1,100 years ago, Gnezdovo lay along two major trade routes—the Dnieper, which flows into the Black Sea, and a skein of streams that sweeps into the Volga River, whose waters empty into the Caspian Sea. Gnezdovo clearly profited from this geography, flourishing and eventually sprawling over an area the size of 30 city blocks.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6608, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bad516650f79a388ece708146c4669fc0a3792a3", "raw_chars": 1832, "clean_chars": 1592, "edit_ratio": 0.7664, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Using dry shampoo every other day, rather than washing hair with liquid shampoo daily, helps keep hair healthy and clean without stripping away the scalp's natural oils.

The truth is, both Modi and Kejriwal have simply used the modern media weaponry much better than their rivals.\n\nKejriwal's style was almost guerrilla-like. Facing a resource crunch, he timed his high-profile interventions to match the demands of prime time 24 x 7 television. His much publicized dharna at Rajpath, for example, was designed to ensure that he monopolized the airwaves. Modi, on the other hand, has gone the carpet bombing route, using a mix of big money, high end technology and traditional political messaging to convert his entire campaign into a giant event management exercise.\n\nThe Congress which now laments Modi's use of money power perhaps had the same cash reserves at its disposal. Its just that Team Modi has made better use of their election war chest. Did anyone, for example, stop the Congress from exploiting the available 3D technology to reach millions? If Modi could have high quality camera units accompany him for every rally, why did it take so long for the Congress to play catch up? If Modi chose to convert his nomination procession into a made for television extravaganza what stopped the Congress from doing the same with Rahul in Amethi?

A beaming Rahul Gandhi claiming to have built a new India was never going to sit well with the reality of ten years of wasted opportunities. A Bharat Nirman campaign in a period of high inflation and low growth was only going to invite rage and cynicism. By contrast, the Modi message worked because he didn't have to carry the baggage of being in power in Delhi. He could simply spin a dream for a rosy future. Even the media planning for the Modi campaign was a step ahead of the Congress: notice how intelligently they used sporting events like the World T 20 to target a core youth constituency.\n\nThe Congress and AAP have also argued that a large section of the media, under the influence of the corporate class has taken sides. It's a serious accusation that deserves attention. There is enough reason to believe that corporate India doesn't want a UPA 3 government at any cost.

The text below is adapted from an earlier webpage I published a few years ago.\n\nThe puzzle has several formulations, but I will use the following version:\n\nThere is an island inhabited by a tribe of 1000 people with various eye colors. Their religion strictly forbids them from knowing their own eye color or even discussing the topic. Consequently, each resident can see the eye colors of all other residents but has no way of discovering their own, as there are no reflective surfaces. If a tribesperson discovers their own eye color, their religion compels them to commit ritual suicide at noon the following day in the village square for all to witness. All the tribespeople are highly logical and devout, and they all know that each other is also highly logical and devout. This mutual knowledge extends infinitely: they all know that they all know that each other is highly logical, and so forth. For the purposes of this puzzle, \"highly logical\" means that any conclusion that can be logically deduced from the information and observations available to an islander will automatically be known to that islander. Of the 1000 islanders, 100 have blue eyes and 900 have brown eyes, although the islanders are not initially aware of these statistics. Each person can only see the eye colors of the other 999 tribespeople.\n\nOne day, a blue-eyed foreigner visits the island and wins the complete trust of the tribe. One evening, he addresses the entire tribe to thank them for their hospitality. Unaware of the local customs, the foreigner makes a mistake by mentioning eye color in his address. He remarks, \"How unusual it is to see another blue-eyed person like myself in this region of the world.\" The question is: what effect, if any, does this faux pas have on the tribe?\n\nThe interesting aspect of this puzzle is that there are two quite plausible arguments that lead to opposing conclusions.\n\nArgument 1: The foreigner has no effect because his comments do not tell the tribe anything they do not already know. Everyone in the tribe can already see that there are several blue-eyed people among them.\n\nArgument 2: 100 days after the address, all the blue-eyed people commit suicide. This is proven as a special case of the following proposition:\n\nProposition: Suppose the tribe had n blue-eyed people for some positive integer n. Then, n days after the traveler's address, all n blue-eyed people commit suicide.\n\nProof: We proceed by induction on n. When n=1, the single blue-eyed person realizes that the traveler is referring to them and commits suicide the next day. Now, suppose inductively that n is larger than 1. Each blue-eyed person reasons as follows: \"If I am not blue-eyed, then there will only be n-1 blue-eyed people on this island, and so they will all commit suicide n-1 days after the traveler's address.\" However, when n-1 days pass, none of the blue-eyed people commit suicide because, at that stage, they have no evidence that they themselves are blue-eyed. After nobody commits suicide on that day, each of the blue-eyed people realizes that they themselves must have blue eyes, and they commit suicide on the following day.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6624, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2a1a96e0e629a2ef85602dc30571cf8195f18684", "raw_chars": 3297, "clean_chars": 3257, "edit_ratio": 0.0061, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I had the chance to do a brief hands-on with the Kindle 2 after its introduction today; in contrast to last time around, review copies were not available to the press.

Amazon claims a 20 percent improvement in page flips, but it's clear that the operating system is very capable of redrawing only subsets of the screen—perhaps the software is smarter about that than it was previously, it's impossible to tell. In any case, the result is that anything done on the screen is very much faster—moving the cursor, selecting text, typing, menus, you name it. It's really hard to convey just how much more responsive the device feels.\n\nBecause Amazon can do more on the screen, it was able to revamp a lot of the rest of the interface. The LCD strip on the right side of Kindle 1, which was used for selecting text and menu items, and sporadically for indicating progress, is gone, and good riddance. In killing it, Amazon has gotten rid of some of the worst of its interface inconsistencies, and more closely linked controlling the device to its primary screen. The faster display has allowed a cursor to be moved around the screen, and highlighting of selected text, items, and menus to be performed there, as well, all of which makes for a better interface.\n\nSince the controls can now operate on the two dimensions of the screen, the click wheel that controlled the first generation device is gone, replaced by a five-way nub controller that acts much like the nipple in the keyboard of the old Thinkpads. It's a bit small for my thumbs, but I expect that longer periods of use would get me comfortable with it.\n\nPhysically, the most striking aspect of the device is its thickness—it really is remarkably thin, and the sleek metal back (reminiscent of the first-generation iPhone) is very appealing. It still feels quite robust, however. Amazon clearly listened to its customers' feedback when it comes to the large buttons that graced the sides of the original Kindle, which made it far too easy to accidentally advance a page. They're gone, and the smaller buttons that replace them pivot inwards, meaning that grabbing the edge of the device can't advance a page, even if you hit the smaller buttons.\n\nThe downside of this is that the screen, largely unchanged in size, really appears to be swimming in a sea of white plastic now, since there are wide margins between it and the edge on the upper third of the device. The bottom quarter still contains the keyboard. When asked about an on-screen keyboard, an Amazon staffer said that the company thinks on-screen keyboards cause more problems than they solve, especially given it's the primary reading surface, so that's unlikely to go away.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6647, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "088e87b57fed699afb5fe961a2d36478b548d55f", "raw_chars": 1310, "clean_chars": 1364, "edit_ratio": 0.5183, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The conference commissioners and college administrators overseeing college football's new championship format, set to begin in 2014, expect to unveil its name and logo at their upcoming meeting in Pasadena, California, according to executive director Bill Hancock.

While playing in various clubs, I always found it a hassle to hunt for the correct racks—triangles for 8-ball and diamonds for 9-ball. One night, holding both types of racks in my hands, I contemplated merging them into a single tool. That moment sparked the idea for my invention. I spent the next few years on design, creating prototypes and eventually securing a patent.\n\nHere is the very first prototype I made from cardboard.\n\nHere is a link to the full patent document.\n\nhttp://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/originalDocument?FT=D&date=20111228&DB=worldwide.espacenet.com&locale=en_EP&CC=GB&NR=2452931B&KC=B&ND=4\n\nSo, what is it?\n\nThis rack is designed for both 8-ball and 9-ball. The struts on the top are designed to allow the rack to be used for 9-ball, but angled and curved so not to cause any obstruction to moving the balls about while racking up. With the 9-ball rack contained in the triangle it actually makes it easier using the rack when placing the rack over the spots as your hands are better spaced apart. This rack would mean that tables would only require one rack instead of the current 2 creating less clutter around the table.\n\nEnvironment:\n\nWith all new products today we should be mindful of the environmental impact they have. The classic 2 Racks require 2 moulds, 2 packaging/distribution costs and approx 200 grams of plastic.\n\nDiamond Back will only require one mould, one package/distribution costs and approx 120 grams of blended recycled & virgin plastic depending on tensile testing of the struts during preproduction .\n\nFeedback:\n\nOnce I had the first prototype I sent the rack to one of the big billiards distributors in the UK who I was hoping would take the patent. However, they were very interested in the product to the level of exclusive distribution in the UK, Europe & Russia. But this would require a very large investment on my part which I wasn't able to commit to, so my idea sat quietly on the shelf.\n\nIt was only a few weeks ago I heard about KickStarter from my son, and here I am with a renewed hope with your support of getting this product, something new and innovative to the billiards industry.\n\n3rd Prototype:\n\nI made some further refinements to the design. If you look at the second prototype and this one you will see I have reduced the height of the sides, this make access to the balls easier.\n\nMy Project Plan:\n\nManufacture Location\n\nI plan on producing these in the UK, as I would prefer to be hands on and to ensure the quality of raw material to final product.\n\nUK patents benefit from a Government scheme allowing UK companies to reduce the amount of Corporation Tax paid in respect of profits relating to inventions protected by a UK patent or other qualifying European patent. The aim of the scheme is to encourage companies to develop and manufacture new products and processes protected by patents in the UK (and some other countries within the European Economic Area). A 10% rate of Corporation Tax will be payable on profits related to income from patented inventions.\n\nSmall Unit:\n\nI have found a perfect location to start production with very flexible conditions on space and rent.So I can start off small and if need be grow into the area around me. Starting this way will help me qualify 100% rates relief.\n\nPrototype Tweaks:\n\nThe final change is to adjust the distance between the struts as shown, this will be done on the 3D model then one final prototype.\n\nMould & Tooling:", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6650, "chunk_idx": 8, "raw_sha1": "989098bc085f48cba819f7b81389ebf51f7087ed", "raw_chars": 1568, "clean_chars": 1628, "edit_ratio": 0.2572, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "George Grant identified one of John Diefenbaker's major failings as his misunderstanding of and quarrels with the Canadian public service.

Instead, it indicates that Detroit is just one spot away from being among the top 10 worst places to live out of the 100 most populous metropolitan areas in the country. Here are five reasons why U.S. News is wrong about Detroit.\n\nFirst, Detroit received a score of 6.5 out of 10 in the Job Market category.

Furthermore, the U.S. News report itself acknowledges that salaries in Detroit are higher than the national average.\n\nSecond, Detroit scored a 5.0 on Desirability and a 5.6 on Quality of Life. These scores overlook the fact that it is 25% cheaper to live in Detroit than in other parts of the country. Residents can get more value for their money in Detroit than in any other U.S. city.\n\nThird, Detroit received a score of 5.0 in the Crime category. The statistics used by U.S. News date back to 2014, a period before the city began to be recognized as \"America's great comeback story.\"\n\nFourth, using U.S. Census data, SmartAsset ranked Detroit as the number-one city for U.S. home buyers. Additionally, Realtor.com listed Detroit as one of the 10 best cities for real estate investing.\n\nFifth, in its brief overview of \"what there is to do\" in Detroit, U.S. News included little about the culture of the country's first UNESCO City of Design. Instead, it reverted to the old cliché about the city's reliance on sports. Meanwhile, major publications like The New York Times, National Geographic, and the London Free Press have recently praised Detroit for its \"new energy\"—and not simply because the Pistons are moving downtown.\n\nAs Nicole Jankowski wrote for U.S. News, \"small businesses are once again setting up shop in the area, and new restaurants are luring suburbanites back to Motown.\" She noted that \"Detroit currently sits on the edge of a renaissance.\" According to Travel + Leisure, the city has already crossed that threshold.\n\nStill not convinced?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6655, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b8a980d707f2f1289f9b1c2ac350e92dae83a6e6", "raw_chars": 3335, "clean_chars": 2681, "edit_ratio": 0.9325, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Winamp will soon be retired unless Microsoft acquires it, leaving current users with no choice but to switch to a different media player. While there are countless alternatives available, finding an application that truly matches Winamp's capabilities can be challenging. Winamp boasts a rich feature set, so any replacement must offer themes, plugin support, compatibility with a wide range of audio and video formats, and extensive customization options.\n\nHowever, the best choice ultimately depends on individual preferences. Some users prefer a simple interface, while others seek a modern look that provides quick access to core features. Although many applications could serve as a Winamp replacement, we have selected five top contenders to help you make the transition when the time comes. If you believe another app deserves a spot on this list, feel free to share your suggestions.\n\nVLC Media Player is undoubtedly a strong candidate for replacing Winamp. Primarily focused on video playback, it also delivers superior audio performance. VLC offers everything a Windows user might expect from a freeware application, including themes, plugins, extensive customization options, and a minimal impact on system performance. It is available on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android, with support for Windows 8.1 on the horizon. Being completely free, VLC is an excellent option to consider when abandoning Winamp.\n\nApple iTunes is more than just a standard media player. It is designed to help users subscribe to podcasts, play music files, manage local libraries, create playlists, and listen to radio stations with minimal effort. Additionally, it facilitates synchronization between local libraries and Apple devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod, though this feature is less relevant for a general Winamp replacement. One potential drawback is the visual interface; iTunes lacks an eye-catching design and does not support skins, locking users into its standard appearance. Furthermore, iTunes can sometimes slow down your computer, but it remains worth considering.\n\nfoobar2000 is a lightweight and simple application used by millions worldwide. This freeware is compatible with all Windows versions, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and supports the majority of audio formats, including MP3 and AAC. Its functionality can be extended through plugins, and it offers customizable looks, keyboard shortcuts, audio CD ripping capabilities, and gapless playback.

My friend and CMS Open Data consultant, Sal Rappoccio, often reminds us of the apocryphal saying: \"data makes you smarter.\" This aphorism applies both to detector effects, where \"smarter\" means processing the data with improved precision and robustness, and to physics effects, where \"smarter\" means extracting new kinds of information from the collision debris. So while I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with the CMS Open Data when I first downloaded the CERN Virtual Machine, I knew that, no matter what, I was going to learn something.\n\nThe first thing I learned was somewhat demoralizing, since within the first few weeks I realized that I did not have the coding proficiency nor the stamina to wrestle with the CMS Open Data by myself. While I regularly use particle physics simulation tools like Pythia and Delphes, the CMS software framework required a much higher level of sophistication and care than I was used to.\n\nLuckily, an MIT postdoctoral fellow, Wei Xue (now at CERN), had extensive experience using public data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope, and he started processing the 2 Terabytes of data in the Jet Primary Dataset. Around the same time, an ambitious MIT second-year student, Aashish Tripathee (now a graduate student at the University of Michigan), joined the project with no prior experience in particle physics but with ample enthusiasm and a solid background in programming.\n\nSo what were we actually going to do with the data? My first idea was to try out a somewhat obscure LHC analysis technique my collaborators and I had developed in 2013, since it had never been tested directly on LHC data. It may eventually be incorporated into a hardware upgrade of the ATLAS detector, or it may remain in obscurity. Wei was even able to make a plot for me to show in March 2015 as part of a long-range planning study for the next collider after the LHC. There is a big difference, though, between making a plot and really understanding the physics at play, and despite performing a precision calculation of this technique, it was not clear whether we could do a robust analysis.\n\nIn early 2015, though, I had the pleasure of collaborating with two MIT postdoctoral fellows, Andrew Larkoski (now at Reed College) and Simone Marzani (now at the University of Genova), to develop a novel method to analyze jets at the LHC. While new, this method had a timeless quality to it, exhibiting remarkable theoretical robustness that we hoped would carry over into the experimental regime.\n\nJets are collimated sprays of particles that arise whenever quarks and gluons are produced in high-energy collisions of hadrons. Almost every collision at the LHC involves jets in some way, either as part of the signal of interest or as an important component of the background noise. In the 2010 CMS Open Data, the Jet Primary Dataset contains collision events exhibiting a wide range of different jet configurations, from the most ubiquitous case with back-to-back jet pairs, to the more exotic case with just a single jet (which might be a signal of dark matter), to the explosive case with a high multiplicity of energetic jets (which might arise from black hole production).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6661, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "639008136d3c6f6a51345a691bed4a6fb8b84868", "raw_chars": 3204, "clean_chars": 3149, "edit_ratio": 0.0087, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This animation consists of two HiRISE images of a single barchan dune within the dune field that lies north of Mount Sharp within Gale crater.

In the time separating the two images, ripples have moved southward up the sloping back of the dune, and the entire dune has shifted southward very slightly. Some of the apparent changes in the image are due to the slightly different angles from which HiRISE looked at the scene.\n\nAfter encountering this dune, Curiosity will skirt the dune field on a westward path, driving up and over another segment of washboard-like Stimson unit. Then the rover will drop down again, finally beginning to cross the dune field from north to south across a relatively sand-free area between the Murray buttes and the dunes. The dunes and the buttes are going to make for some dramatic views ahead.\n\nTo whet your appetite, here is another 3D HiRISE image that covers the area of the dune field that Curiosity has to cross.

(14 August 2015)\n\nWe had another successful drive on sol 1074, putting us in a good position for the weekend! The main activity for the weekend is using the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument to analyze some of the recent drill sample that we collected. SAM activities will take up all of sol 1075. On sol 1076, we will use MAHLI to check on the health of our wheels, and SAM will do its Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) measurement on the sample.\n\nOn sol 1077 we have lots of ChemCam and Mastcam activities. Mastcam has a 20x2 mosaic of an area called “Fournier”, followed by ChemCam observations of the targets “Butler”, “Evaro”, “Coldwater”, and “Alberton” and associated Mastcam documentation images. Navcam also has an atmosphere monitoring observation of the horizon to the north.\n\nLater in the afternoon on sol 1077, ChemCam has a calibration observation and Mastcam has another observation of “Alberton” to try to see textures highlighted by the lower sun angle. Navcam also has a couple more observations, watching for clouds and dust devils.\n\nSols 1078-1079 update by Ken Herkenhoff: Back to restricted planning (17 August 2015)", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6661, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "af3dcc0a1d5f322bd53d11732cf6b4b2c1fedada", "raw_chars": 3259, "clean_chars": 3259, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Today’s plan consists of ChemCam and Mastcam observations on the targets “Interlake,” “Ledger,” and “Mackay Dome.” Then we’ll image the “Ledger” target using all of the Mastcam camera filters, and take another Mastcam clast survey image to look for any changes in the time that we’ve been here. We’ll also use Mastcam to look at the sun to measure the atmospheric opacity. Then we’ll take a short drive and acquire post-drive imaging to help with targeting in tomorrow’s plan.

Curiosity is currently making her way towards Bridger Basin and studying the Stimson unit along the way.\n\nThe weekend 4-sol plan is packed with exciting science. On Sol 1095, we’ll acquire ChemCam and Mastcam on the targets “Bullwacker,” “Damnation,” and \"Bootlegger,” to assess the chemistry of some of the bright bands along fractures and unaltered bedrock. We’ll also take some Mastcam mosaics to investigate the local geology. In the evening, SAM will run a diagnostic test, and CheMin will dump the Buckskin sample and analyze an empty cell to prepare for analysis of a future drill sample. On Sol 1096, Curiosity will take it easy, and the science activities mostly just involve standard RAD and REMS observations. Things pick up again on Sol 1097, with another science block full of ChemCam and Mastcam on “Hell_Creek,” and “Sober_Up_Creek” (yes, these are real names of features near Arlee, Montana!) and additional Mastcam mosaics to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentary structures. Then we’ll use MAHLI to check out the REMS UV sensor, followed by MAHLI on the target “Conniption,” as well as several DAN Passive observations. Overnight, Curiosity will acquire APXS on “Conniption.” On Sol 1098, Curiosity will drive for ~35 m, followed by post-drive imaging to prepare for targeting next week, and an evening MARDI image to assess the ground beneath the rover. Finally, on the morning of Sol 1099, Curiosity will take several Mastcam and Navcam observations to monitor the atmosphere.

With New Zealand playing first, a loss to France could allow China and Sweden to play out a draw, conserving energy for the quarterfinals.\n\nColombia: Colombia needs to beat the United States. That is pretty much all there is to it.\n\nProbably, but since we cannot assume anything, it is worth noting that even a shocking upset against the world’s best team might leave Colombia at the bottom of the group on goal difference. However, if they manage that victory and turn around their goal difference deficit against the loser of the France-New Zealand match (if those two draw, Colombia is eliminated), they would still need to hope for one of two scenarios: either China and Sweden do not draw, and the score is lopsided enough to help Colombia on goal difference, or Australia does not beat Zimbabwe.\n\nGROUP F\n\nCanada: Conspiracy theorists began shouting the moment Kadeisha Buchanan received a yellow card against Zimbabwe, a call that defied explanation. Is John Herdman sandbagging to try and finish second in the group to face the Group E runner-up in the quarterfinals (likely the winner between China and Sweden)? If Canada gets a result against Germany, they will win the group and face the Group G runner-up (likely France). Either way, by securing a top-two spot, they avoid seeing the Group G winner (likely the United States) until the gold medal match.\n\nThere could be another strategic reason to try and sandbag against Germany. The unusual bracket setup means the top two teams in the group are on a collision course for the semifinals. Regardless, Herdman and the 2012 bronze medalists are undoubtedly thrilled to have a top-two spot locked up before kicking off against the Germans.\n\nGermany: Math suggests Germany is not booked to stay in the tournament beyond Tuesday, but they would need to lose by at least eight goals to even start the conversation. Realistically, they will win the group by beating Canada and finish second by losing or drawing. The implications of that are outlined above.\n\nAustralia: It has not been the tournament the Australians were hoping for up to this point, but there should still be time to salvage things. If they beat Zimbabwe, they will almost certainly advance as the third-place finisher, which means they will face the Group E or Group G winner, depending on which other third-place team advances. Australia currently trails Germany by seven points on goal difference and can finish second by making up that deficit in a win, combined with a German loss to Canada. Anything other than a win sends Australia home.\n\nZimbabwe: No one expected Zimbabwe to do anything but finish last in this ultra-tough group, and they will likely do just that barring a monumental upset of Australia.

She happily flipped pancakes, posed for photographs, and participated in a citizenship ceremony in front of hundreds of cheerful parents and children who had gathered for a free breakfast to celebrate Canada’s 149th birthday, all under a beautiful, sunny summer sky.\n\nNotley, who always seems to enjoy meeting the public, was in a particularly good mood because she had experienced a particularly good week. Well, a particularly good Wednesday. Or rather, a particularly good moment on Wednesday.\n\nNotley had accepted an invitation to stand with dignitaries, both Canadian and American, in the House of Commons on Wednesday afternoon to watch U.S. President Barack Obama address Parliament. During the speech, to Notley’s great surprise and delight, Obama singled out Alberta for praise. \"Alberta, the oil country of Canada, is working hard to reduce emissions while still promoting growth,\" said Obama, referring to the Alberta government’s climate change plan. \"So if Canada can do it and the United States can do it, the whole world can unleash economic growth and protect our planet. We can do this.\"\n\nObama’s brief mention of Alberta was followed by thunderous applause from the audience, and another surprise for Notley. \"Most of the House of Commons rose to give him a standing ovation, and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry turned around and shook my hand, which was lovely,\" Notley told Postmedia on Friday.\n\nBut this \"lovely\" moment for Notley did not make headlines. It was ignored by the national media, which was mesmerized by the parliamentary swoon over Obama, and it was largely overlooked by Alberta’s media, which focused on the province’s $6.4-billion deficit. Furthermore, it was dismissed by Notley’s political opponents back home. \"The carbon tax was supposed to buy more than a line in a speech from President Obama,\" said Wildrose Leader Brian Jean with a shrug.\n\nJean’s dismissiveness, along with the news media’s indifference to Obama’s shout-out to Alberta, is deeply irritating the NDP government, which is fighting, and apparently winning, a battle to improve Alberta’s environmental image. Obama did not reverse himself and approve the Keystone XL pipeline, but Notley said his comment on Wednesday indicates that politicians outside Alberta are viewing the province differently. \"What it shows is that there is a greater level of recognition amongst opinion leaders across the continent that what Alberta is doing is substantial and meaningful,\" says Notley. \"It therefore means that we’re able to have conversations, for instance on pipelines, which we know is critically important to Albertans, with people that we didn’t have conversations with before.\"\n\nNotley argues that if other jurisdictions in Canada realize Alberta is becoming an environmental leader, they will no longer feel the need to oppose energy pipelines as a way to strong-arm Alberta into taking action on climate change. \"Our government is taking climate change seriously,\" says Notley. \"We’re not just putting out press releases saying it.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6677, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ad11af70eeba2ff1e7701c7a400173b414f03733", "raw_chars": 3222, "clean_chars": 3622, "edit_ratio": 0.4036, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that both the number of union members and their share of the U.S. workforce declined in 2016.

The labor movement is dead!

He emphasized that labor would use collective action \"to begin to change the tide for all working people, because a strong labor movement raises wages for all working families and improves our entire economy.

That's money in people's pocket. That's a government statistic we can get behind.\"\n\nThe BLS data showed that unionists remained concentrated in the Northeast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast states. More than half of all union members lived in just seven states: California, with 2.551 million members (15.9 percent union), an increase of 65,000; New York, with 1.942 million members (23.6 percent), a decrease of 96,000; Illinois, with 812,000 members (14.5 percent), a decrease of 35,000; Pennsylvania, with 685,000 members (12.1 percent), a decrease of 62,000; Michigan, with 606,000 members (14.4 percent), a decrease of 15,000; New Jersey, with 644,000 members (16.1 percent), an increase of 68,000; and Ohio, with 617,000 members (12.4 percent), an increase of 11,000.\n\nNew Jersey and Ohio surpassed Michigan, which now has a right-to-work law, for fourth place. New York was the only state where more than one-fifth of workers were unionized, though its union share dropped from 26 percent in 2015. Hawaii, the other state with more than one-fifth union membership in the previous year, slid to 19.9 percent. While Hawaii's union numbers remained the same, its workforce grew.\n\nSouth Carolina was the least unionized state for the second consecutive year, at 1.6 percent. Southern states generally have low union densities due to histories of anti-unionism, employers' efforts to pit racial groups against each other, and right-to-work laws.\n\nDespite the overall declines, unions still represented more private-sector workers (7.4 million) than public-sector workers (7.1 million), according to the BLS.

Brought to life by the flood of immigrants around the turn of the century, Brazilian labor grew in the industrial cities along the coast. This radical movement, fueled by the anarchist passion of Southern European immigrants and intensified by the repression of both the church and the state, was the single largest force behind Brazilian labor for the first twenty-five years of its development. While the movement suffered harshly under the Vargas regime, it retained its original strength on a much smaller scale. Anarcho-syndicalists remained deeply involved in Brazilian labor until the 1930s, when worker-controlled labor suffered a slow death and the government took control of organized labor.\n\nBrazil underwent the full spectrum of development in its organized labor, shifting from advocating worker control and anarchist organizing to establishing an authoritative, government-controlled bureaucracy. This paper will show the influence that anarcho-syndicalism had on the growth of the Brazilian labor movement and how it was the most dominating force in Brazilian labor during the first quarter of the century of its formation, until labor's decline in 1937.\n\nBrazil is a country of vast extremes. The story of labor in Brazil displays all the diversity of thought and action likely on the subject of organized labor, ranging from one extreme of an anarchist-controlled industrial labor force to the other extreme of a completely authoritarian, government-controlled labor bureaucracy. The story of organized labor in Brazil, even at its height, only represents a fraction of that country's population. In 1920, of the 30 million people living in Brazil, only 250,000 were members of the anarchist unions at their height. While this constituted a minority of the population, Brazil's anarcho-syndicalist movement was the second largest in Latin America during the first quarter of the twentieth century.\n\nBrazil went through some important changes during the last decade of the nineteenth century. Slavery in Brazil was only abolished in 1888, and in 1887, literacy in Brazil was still only about 45% of the population. The majority of Brazilians during this period still lived in the country's vast interior. Everything changed around the turn of the century when massive immigration from Southern Europe took place, and over 10 million Europeans entered South America from the 1870s until World War I. Out of that 10 million, 3,390,000 had entered Brazil between 1871 and 1920. Most of the immigrants arrived in the first decade of the century. This massive wave of immigrants, combined with the growth of industrial Brazil, led to one of the world's largest anarchist-controlled labor forces and helped shape the history of Brazil.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6690, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "d367408f9cafbc16ac26442bf46277640184d4b8", "raw_chars": 3476, "clean_chars": 3546, "edit_ratio": 0.6004, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Traditionally, many historians have simplified the anarchist experience in Brazil and across South America by suggesting that anarchism was merely popular among poor Southern European immigrants and was simply imported along with them. According to this view, when these immigrants arrived in South America, they attempted to recreate their old world in every way, including their political affiliations. However, the Brazilian anarchist experience was far more complex than this simplistic equation. As historian Sheldon Maram suggested, anarchism flourished in Brazil not because it was imported alongside other Southern European characteristics, but because it was the movement most attuned to the specific situation in Brazil. This is a major theme in the development of the anarcho-syndicalist movement in Brazil: anarchism was seen as the only political philosophy capable of uniting Brazil's immigrants while simultaneously serving the needs of organized labor.\n\nThe very first people to organize themselves into unions in Brazil were not industrialists or factory workers, but artisans and skilled workers. It was the fierce independent spirit of the artisan that fueled the fires of anarchist organizing among Brazil's working class. Anarchism drew its early strength from artisans who valued self-teaching and individual enterprise, and therefore viewed the rise of industry as a threat to their way of life. It was within this immigrant population that Brazil's most active anarchists dwelled. One of the most active fields and areas for anarchist action was the stonecutters of Greater São Paulo. Stonecutting, by its very nature, was an independent activity. Stonecutters were not paid a wage; instead, they profited in small groups of workers and were paid upon the delivery of finished products. They needed neither the government nor the employer. As skilled workers who could not be easily replaced, when they struck or withdrew their labor over an issue, immediate action would be taken to remedy the problem by those they worked for. In this sense, 'direct action' as a political philosophy made perfect sense to them. In contrast, factory workers, due to the nature of their work and the ease with which the workforce could be replaced, were often subjected to longer, more drawn-out strikes.\n\nThere was often tension among Brazil's diverse population during this era. Among the Italians and Portuguese, the labor movement was frequently divided along racial lines. Language was the chief barrier, as most labor publications and radical newspapers in Brazil up until 1920 were published in Italian. Union locals were often divided by language. Only minor conflicts arose between the European immigrants. The serious divisions among races in Brazil took place between native Brazilians and Afro-Brazilians on one side, and the massive immigrant populations on the other. Immigrants constantly complained that Brazilians lacked class consciousness and had no passion for working-class issues. Often, Brazilians would be used as 'scabs' to break up immigrant strikes. In the world of organized labor, a person who turns their back on their fellow workers and agrees to replace a striking worker is considered the lowest form of human scum. This division, created by the employing class in Brazil, created a huge gulf between these two populations. The tensions over Brazilians—often Black—crossing immigrant picket lines created distrust and hatred between these two groups that otherwise would have shared many things in common.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6701, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e906b284972b7b8a30c9e6eecc054911dbbedc59", "raw_chars": 1127, "clean_chars": 975, "edit_ratio": 0.746, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On Thursday, President Trump criticized the media, claiming it was deliberately avoiding coverage of an Obama-era uranium deal with Russia. \"Uranium deal to Russia, with Clinton help and Obama Administration knowledge, is the biggest story that Fake Media doesn't want to follow!\" Trump wrote in a tweet.\n\nThe tweet followed a report published by The Hill, which stated that the FBI had gathered substantial evidence of bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering before the Obama administration approved a controversial 2010 deal that gave Moscow control over a large portion of the United States' uranium supply.

News of the protests quickly reached Rio de Janeiro. On the morning of July 18, a furniture worker, upon hearing descriptions of the strikes, immediately walked off the job and called for a strike at his factory; two other workers joined him. By the afternoon of July 18, only 150 workers had walked out in solidarity with the strikers in São Paulo. However, by July 19, five factories were on strike, and the movement was growing uncontrollably. On July 22, the F.O.S.P. of Rio de Janeiro called for a general strike. To their surprise, 50,000 workers went on strike on the morning of July 23. Later that afternoon, 20,000 metal workers walked out in solidarity with the factory workers. The demands for all the workers were universal: an eight-hour workday and a 20% wage increase. This was a textbook spontaneous general strike, and all of industrial Brazil was brought to a halt, with control falling into the hands of the workers.\n\nThe government's reaction was swift and severe. By July 26, the government had deployed all its resources and declared martial law. The army, navy, and police guarded all the major areas of Rio de Janeiro. The strike continued into August, when the government finally realized it could not maintain control over the entire population. The government soon forced industrial leaders to settle with the workers. On August 2, 1917, the Rio de Janeiro general strike ended with the workers accepting a fifty-six-hour workweek and a 10% wage increase.\n\nIn just a few short months, Brazilian labor had demonstrated its incredible strength and power. The workers showed they were capable of organizing strikes on a national scale. The organization and influence of the anarchists played a crucial role in the speed with which union leaders called for strikes. Traditional reform unions were typically slow to call strikes, preferring long meetings with employers and drawn-out negotiations. The anarchist leadership of the F.O.S.P., however, understood the pulse and passions of the workers and had the good sense and timing to call the strike when they knew they could garner massive worker support.\n\nThe government was also impressed by the actions of the anarchists and realized they had a significant problem with their labor unions. In September 1917, in response to German bombing of Brazilian merchant shipping in the South Atlantic, Brazil entered the war against Germany. Although Brazil entered the war near its end and played a very small role, the Brazilian government used the war as an opportunity to address its domestic labor problems. The Brazilian government declared that the strikes of July and August were the work of German and Italian agitators who had the backing of their respective governments to cause unrest in Brazil. The response was the deportation of hundreds of labor leaders, the closure of labor newspapers, and the threat of deportation for anyone professing to have led labor activity during the July and August strikes. This was a devastating blow to the labor movement, which had just made so much progress. At this time, the labor forces of industrial Brazil were still mostly immigrant, and for most of these immigrants, the worst fear was being deported from Brazil.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6695, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "9761539666cbf5de3189699c9da4f9463171be3c", "raw_chars": 3242, "clean_chars": 3242, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "He is unifying the Republican Party, starting with that “p-ssy” Cruz, “low-energy” Bush, “super low-energy” Carson, “weak like a baby” Rubio, and Fiorina with the face that no one could vote for.

They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. … And some, I assume, are good people.”\n\nThankfully, Trump has the solution and it’s simple: “I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”\n\nAnd when it comes to terrorism, Trump has another simple solution: “I would bomb the s—t out of ISIS… I’m the worst thing that’s ever happened to ISIS.” It sounds well thought-out and with more than 23,000 bombs already dropped by the United States in 2015, Trump’s promise to really light up the sky is reassuring.\n\nFinally, what about the ultimate deterrent in the U.S. arsenal?

They wavered in their support of the Great Unifier, which Trump correctly identified as a sign of stupidity.\n\nAll right, so maybe there is some unifying still to do beyond Iowa. Thankfully, though, it is mostly with women, so half of America appears to be safe. \"Disgusting\" Rosie O'Donnell needs to be less \"fat\" and less of a \"slob.\" If Arianna Huffington were not so unattractive, Trump would not have needed to state the obvious: \"I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man, he made a good decision.\"\n\nBut then, Megyn Kelly's disregard for journalistic standards overwhelmed even the Great Unifier's capacity for tolerance.

It quickly turned into a panic situation. Looking for a fast solution, I found a recipe in my trusty recipe box that worked flawlessly, producing tasty rolls in just an hour.\n\nThe recipe is easy to prepare and doesn't require a professional baker. The rolls go from the pantry to the table in 60 minutes. They are soft, fluffy, and actually taste superior to grocery store rolls. These one-hour rolls also make great buns for sliders.\n\nThis recipe makes approximately 24 rolls, depending on how large you make them.\n\nTo make the rolls, start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. Heat one and a half cups of warm milk (or half-and-half) but do not scald it. In a separate bowl, combine one tablespoon plus one teaspoon of dry yeast with a quarter cup of sugar and the warm milk. Stir the mixture and let it stand for 15 minutes until the yeast is active and bubbling. Next, stir in one teaspoon of salt, a quarter cup of melted butter, and four cups of flour. King Arthur bread flour is the preferred choice, and a stand mixer like a KitchenAid Artisan works well for blending the ingredients until well combined.\n\nCover the dough and let it rise for 20 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of an egg and roll them between your palms to smooth them out. Alternatively, you can roll the dough into a sheet and use a round pastry cutter to shape the rolls. Place the rolls on a lightly greased half-sheet cake pan, approximately 13 by 18 inches, and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.\n\nFor a variation, you can add herb flavors to the rolls. Two teaspoons of crumbled dried rosemary, two tablespoons of freshly chopped thyme, or two teaspoons of Herbs de Provence all make good alternatives. A secret tip is to take the Herbs de Provence, add a pinch of rock salt, and grind the mixture into a powder using a mortar and pestle.

Because the EU has a more formalized system of privacy legislation than the U.S., an agreement is necessary for personal data to flow from Europe to the U.S. The FTC is responsible for enforcing Safe Harbor certifications in the U.S.\n\nThe list of companies named in the filing includes Acxiom, Adara Media, Adobe, Adometry, Alterian, AOL, AppNexus, Bizo, BlueKai, Criteo, Datalogix, DataXu, EveryScreen Media, ExactTarget, Gigya, HasOffers, Jumptap, Lithium, Lotame, Marketo, MediaMath, Merkle, Neustar, PubMatic, Salesforce.com, SDL, SpredFast, Sprinklr, Turn, and Xaxis.

A \"standard\" lens preserves the same spatial relationships perceived by a spectator at the camera location. For a \"standard\" lens image, the viewing distance should be equal to the diagonal length of the screen.\n\nHorizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view play a crucial role in the viewing experience. It has been demonstrated that viewing a display that occupies a greater visual angle, also referred to as field of view, increases the feeling of presence. More importantly, the wider the visual angle, up to approximately a plateau point of 80 degrees, the greater the feeling of presence.\n\nAngular resolution is another key factor. With printed graphics, resolution refers to the number of pixels, usually referred to as \"dots,\" in a fixed linear measurement. With HDTV, resolution is measured in terms of the number of pixels in the physical display. When the resolution of a printed image is increased, the image becomes cleaner, crisper, and more detailed. However, image quality does not improve if the increase in resolution exceeds the observer's visual capabilities. For an HDTV's image to noticeably improve, its resolution per degree of arc, or angular resolution, must increase as well as the pixel count of the display.\n\nTo maximize the feeling of presence and thus provide a better viewing experience, the viewer would need to be situated at the theoretical spot where the HDTV occupies the widest view angle for that viewer. It is also important that the resolution of the display per degree of arc remain at a high quality level. Opinions regarding where the ideal viewing position lies are numerous and varied.\n\nRecommendations on HDTV viewing distances fall into two general classes: a fixed distance based on HDTV display size, or a range of distances based on the display size. The most common recommendations from reasonably authoritative sources are presented below.\n\nFixed distance recommendations are the more common of the two types. For the most part, the majority of the fixed distance recommendations were issued before the end of 2007, when arguably HDTV displays were still in the early adoption phase. The most frequently cited fixed distance recommendations are listed.\n\nOne of the more popular recommendations on the proper HDTV viewing distance is to multiply the diagonal measurement of the display screen by 2.5, which corresponds to a 20-degree viewing angle. This recommendation is cited by television manufacturers, retailers, respected publications, and websites. However, the popular electronics review website CNET suggests that high-resolution content can be watched at a closer distance—1.5 times the display screen's diagonal measurement, corresponding to a 32-degree viewing angle.\n\nAnother recommendation is to multiply the diagonal measurement by 1.6, which corresponds to a 30-degree viewing angle.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6733, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8fe2260643f8156bd0fe7ae0d5f9232211337aa8", "raw_chars": 3477, "clean_chars": 3478, "edit_ratio": 0.0007, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Reddish rock powder from the first hole drilled into a Martian mountain by NASA's Curiosity rover has yielded the mission's first confirmation of a mineral mapped from orbit.\n\n\"This connects us with the mineral identifications from orbit, which can now help guide our investigations as we climb the slope and test hypotheses derived from the orbital mapping,\" said Curiosity Project Scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.\n\nCuriosity collected the powder by drilling into a rock outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp in late September. The robotic arm delivered a pinch of the sample to the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument inside the rover. This sample, from a target called \"Confidence Hills\" within the \"Pahrump Hills\" outcrop, contained much more hematite than any rock or soil sample previously analyzed by CheMin during the two-year-old mission. Hematite is an iron-oxide mineral that gives clues about ancient environmental conditions from when it formed.\n\nIn observations reported in 2010, before selection of Curiosity's landing site, a mineral-mapping instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter provided evidence of hematite in the geological unit that includes the Pahrump Hills outcrop. The landing site is inside Gale Crater, an impact basin about 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter with the layered Mount Sharp rising about three miles (five kilometers) high in the center.\n\n\"We've reached the part of the crater where we have the mineralogical information that was important in selection of Gale Crater as the landing site,\" said Ralph Milliken of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. He is a member of Curiosity's science team and was lead author of that 2010 report in Geophysical Research Letters identifying minerals based on observations of lower Mount Sharp by the orbiter's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM). \"We're now on a path where the orbital data can help us predict what minerals we'll find and make good choices about where to drill. Analyses like these will help us place rover-scale observations into the broader geologic history of Gale that we see from orbital data.\"\n\nMuch of Curiosity's first year on Mars was spent investigating outcrops in a low area of Gale Crater called \"Yellowknife Bay,\" near the spot where the rover landed. The rover found an ancient lakebed. Rocks there held evidence of wet environmental conditions billions of years ago that offered ingredients and an energy source favorable for microbial life, if Mars ever had microbes. Clay minerals of interest in those rocks at Yellowknife Bay had not been detected from orbit, possibly due to dust coatings that interfere with CRISM's view of them.\n\nThe rover spent much of the mission's second year driving from Yellowknife Bay to the base of Mount Sharp. The hematite found in the first sample from the mountain tells about environmental conditions different from the conditions recorded in the rocks of Yellowknife Bay. The rock material interacted with water and atmosphere to become more oxidized.\n\nThe rocks analyzed earlier also contain iron-oxide minerals, mostly magnetite. One way to form hematite is to put magnetite in oxidizing conditions. The latest sample has about eight percent hematite and four percent magnetite. The drilled rocks at Yellowknife Bay and on the way to Mount Sharp contain at most about one percent hematite and much higher amounts of magnetite.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6739, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "21f9c662d2610ab6039ab5a8c2ecc3a8bfda0a13", "raw_chars": 3171, "clean_chars": 3175, "edit_ratio": 0.1576, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In recent years, a favorite topic of journalistic inquiry among concerned Baby Boomers and Gen Xers has been the unique situation caused by the invasion of the workforce by Millennials.

Formed in the Internet Age, they possess knowledge of and a desire to improve things on a global stage in a way no other generation has had the opportunity to.\n\nThis idealism is not solely limited to notions of transcontinental betterment, however. Unfortunately, many have noted that these same Millennials also bear unrealistically idealistic notions of their own capabilities, leading to a sense of grandiosity and entitlement often categorized under the term \"narcissism.\"\n\nSociologists debate how seemingly an entire generation has been captured by Narcissus's condition, but, no matter the cause, the effects seem rather dire. Relationships between Millennials often suffer because of this shared selfishness, but it also seems to hamper the ability of my generation to really grind out a job in the workplace. The latter is the most frequently discussed fruit of this excessive self-love and is the main topic to be analyzed in this article.\n\nHaving been told they are special throughout their entire developmental life, Millennials find it difficult to put their head down and crank out the work required of entry-level positions because they feel that their skill set requires more challenge and excitement. Can you really blame them? They've been told since kindergarten to \"follow their passions,\" and if the situation you're in doesn't really resonate with your ideals and passions, then something is defective.

One fairly simple way to get a sense of the race is to assume that, starting with states each candidate is guaranteed to win, you work your way down the probabilities, adding electoral votes as you go. For example, Obama is currently given a 100% chance of winning nine states (including Vermont) and Maine's first district, followed by eleven states with probabilities between 90% and 100%, ending with Pennsylvania at 91%. Assuming Obama wins all of these, we proceed through the next four states, all between 70% and 80%, ending with Ohio at 71%, for a total of 275 electoral votes.\n\nNotice that to reach 270 electoral votes using only Obama's highest-probability states, we never had to use a state with a lower than 70% chance of winning. On the other hand, doing the same process for Romney using only his highest-probability states, he has to rely on states where he has less than a 50% chance of winning—in some cases, much less. Put another way, the easiest path to 270 for Romney, in terms of current probabilities, runs through three states between 30% and 40%, ending with Ohio at only a 29% chance of winning. That's gotta hurt.\n\nBut wait, there's more. While Romney has no path to victory using states where his chance of winning is greater than 50%, Obama has not just one but many such paths. I've summarized all of them in the chart below.\n\nThe chart is organized as follows: Along the top are the eight states that Obama currently has between a 50% and 90% chance of winning (I assumed Obama wins all states with above 90% probability). Next, I assumed he wins Florida, currently given a 56% chance (up two points from yesterday, by the way). On the top row, you can see that Obama then needs only one more state to get to 270. In the next four rows, I assume Obama loses Florida but wins Ohio and various other arrangements of states. In the last four rows, I assume he loses both Florida and Ohio.\n\nThe final column gives the number of ways that each path category (along a row) could occur. No surprise: winning Florida nearly guarantees a victory, with so many ways to get to 270 electoral votes. But even without Florida, there are still 66 paths that use states above a 50% probability—in fact, most are above 70%.\n\nTo summarize: while Romney's easiest path to 270 electoral votes forces him to slog through several low-probability states, Obama has a whopping 193 ways to get there using only states above a 50% probability!\n\nNaturally, there are caveats. First, who knows how accurate the probabilities are. Second, not all the paths are equally likely. Winning Florida may provide many paths to victory, but it is also considerably less likely than some other options (today, anyway).

This potential development is part of Wasps' ongoing expansion strategy following its relocation to Coventry in 2014.\n\nSpeaking on the second day of the SportsPro Live conference, Armstrong revealed that the club is carefully considering the construction of a new indoor sports and music facility. During a panel session titled \"If You Build It, They Will Come,\" he explained to Sports Management that while the plans are still in the very early stages, he hopes to break ground on the project within two or three years.\n\nThe proposed facility would host a variety of activities, including indoor surfing, trampolining, and climbing. It would also be connected to a separate leisure complex that Armstrong had previously announced at the Rugby Expo last year. The goal of this expansion is to broaden the club's footprint and make its suite of facilities, which Wasps purchased in November 2014, more appealing to the local community.\n\nAlthough the Ricoh Arena already featured a hotel, casino, and large exhibition space when Wasps moved in, the club's board quickly approved the construction of a second hotel. Armstrong also hinted at Rugby Expo 2015 that a third hotel might be in development.\n\nArmstrong noted that only one-third of the 1.4 million annual visitors to the Ricoh Arena attend for sporting events, meaning the majority come for other functions. \"We're hosting events 364 days a year,\" he said. \"We have our own hotel, our own casino, and we host indoor and outdoor music events, ranging from classical music gatherings for 250 people to large-scale concerts like Rihanna's upcoming show, for which we've sold 36,000 tickets.\"\n\nHe emphasized that this diverse model is crucial for the future. \"The Ricoh Arena is the perfect sports venue because it is so much more than sport.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6788, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "9856f1f56b8ca085d73db51cd44a36510f0261ac", "raw_chars": 588, "clean_chars": 573, "edit_ratio": 0.0474, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "He tweeted: \"I'm so lucky to have worked w/ him & tell him how much he meant to me & millions of fans.\"\n\nBefore embarking on an acting career, West was drafted into the US Army and served as an announcer for the Armed Forces Network.\n\nThe US Department of Defense tweeted a picture of West in his uniform with the message: \"He was our hero long before the cape.\"\n\nWest was born in 1928 in Walla Walla, Washington state, and began his acting career in Hawaii in the 1950s.\n\nHe is survived by his wife, Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6766, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6af7242ef1c2e581fc91d573874aefa4b88a672b", "raw_chars": 3378, "clean_chars": 3615, "edit_ratio": 0.4755, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In early 2009, shortly after attending 25C3, we released version 0.7 of the I2P Anonymous Network.

The 0.8 release is fully compatible with all 0.7.x releases. This version includes several bug fixes, a new Dutch translation, and the completion of the German translation. As always, users are encouraged to upgrade.\n\nSome visible highlights of the 0.7.x release series over the last year and a half include automatically generated Base32 destination names, which reduce reliance on host names, and a themable router console with GeoIP display. We introduced a plugin system for the easy installation and maintenance of user-generated applications, such as I2P-bote, a distributed serverless anonymous email service. Additionally, we established a translation infrastructure for the router console, supporting multiple languages, and implemented many improvements that led to reduced CPU and memory usage. Network enhancements improved scalability, allowing users to easily invite others into the network.\n\nSeveral important under-the-hood improvements were also made. We redesigned the floodfill infrastructure for network database storage by implementing a simplified Kademlia storage system and increasing the number of floodfill routers from five to nearly 100, enhancing reliability and scalability. Queries and stores to floodfill routers are now encrypted for increased security. We implemented separate session key managers for each local destination to further improve security, along with a multi-layered system for limiting connections to peers. A new, smaller tunnel build message was introduced to reduce the chance of it being dropped and to increase build success rates. Several bug fixes and improvements in the streaming library dramatically sped up connections.\n\nWe transitioned to Java 5 concurrent data structures, significantly reducing lock contention, and adopted Java 5 coding styles. This included a significant increase in Javadoc documentation and the elimination of unused code to improve maintainability. The directory structure was split for ease of use on multi-user systems and easier packaging. We also redesigned the clock skew system with the implementation of NTP-style clock adjustment and adjusted several parameters based on router speed and maximum memory to optimize performance and memory usage. UPnP support was added to automatically open firewall ports, alongside an uncountable number of bug fixes and improvements that enhance security, anonymity, reliability, performance, scalability, and the user experience.\n\nIn an interview with gulli.com last year, zzz stated that \"privacy is under severe and increasing threat throughout the world.\" It is clear that this trend is accelerating in both oppressed nations and those that are nominally free.

The company's lab practices caused potential harm to patient health, according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. There were multiple inaccuracies in the testing; 81 patients got unverified and potentially false results. The clinical labs have now all been closed. Walgreens, where Theranos had an exclusive agreement, has sued, along with a handful of investors.\n\nNone of this stopped Mattis from joining the board in 2013, after he left active duty. This was part of Holmes's strategy on Theranos: cultivate powerful friends and use them to increase the company's credibility and influence. Only two of the 12 Theranos board members had experience in medicine, and one (Bill Frist) hadn't practiced in many years. By contrast, six had government experience and two were military commanders. Clearly, this powerhouse board was assembled to iron out regulatory matters and get Theranos products into the lucrative military-procurement process. But even all that firepower couldn't help when Theranos was caught selling bogus technology and lying to its funders.\n\nIt is assumed that Mattis will leave the board now as he prepares to go into the government. And maybe it's OK that he didn't understand the depths of the deceit at the company in 2012. But the fact that he didn't leave the Theranos board until now suggests either a troubling credulousness, an inability to admit a mistake, or a desire to stay on the gravy train. Theranos is a privately held company, so it's unknown how much money Mattis made for his board position. But Holmes's net worth was at one point $4 billion, and the company raised scads of money from venture capitalists, so it's reasonable to assume that seat was lucrative. Ready to Fight Back?

A family spokesperson confirmed that West passed away peacefully in Los Angeles following a \"short but brave battle\" with leukemia.\n\nWest's tongue-in-cheek portrayal of Batman and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, earned him a devoted cult following. Although he later struggled to secure major acting roles, he won over a new generation of fans in recent years by joining the cast of the animated series Family Guy. First appearing in the show's second season in 2002, he voiced Quahog's eccentric Mayor Adam West, a character series creator Seth MacFarlane described as a satirical, \"alternate universe\" version of the actor himself. MacFarlane paid tribute to West on Twitter, stating that he had \"lost a friend\" and describing the actor as \"irreplaceable.\"\n\nWest's family released a statement honoring his legacy: \"Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight, and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans' lives. He was and always will be our hero.\"\n\nThe original Batman television series, famous for its onscreen fight-scene graphics like \"Wham!\" and \"Pow!\", became an unexpected cultural phenomenon. West and his co-star Burt Ward, who played the superhero's sidekick Robin, received widespread acclaim for their kitschy portrayal of the Dynamic Duo. Following the news of his passing, tributes poured in from former colleagues. Actor Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the series, praised West on Saturday, describing him as \"bright, witty and fun to work with.\" She added, \"I will miss him in the physical world and savour him always in the world of imagination and creativity.\"\n\nIn a 2010 interview with Slice of SciFi, West reflected on the success of the television series, attributing it to the quality of its writing. \"They saw the craziness, the comedy,\" he explained. \"You know, just as he's about to put her in jail, Batman says to Catwoman, 'You give me curious stirrings in my utility belt.' That's funny stuff.\"\n\nAfter the series ended, West found it difficult to break free from the iconic character. Nevertheless, he maintained a long career, appearing in nearly 50 films, including Drop Dead Gorgeous, An American Vampire Story, and Nevada Smith. Tributes to the actor continued to surface on social media. Actor Val Kilmer, who played Batman in a later film franchise, tweeted, \"Ah dear Adam West. He was always so kind when we met. A real gent. Once when I was a kid we found ourselves in front the Batmobile. I got in.\"\n\nAuthor Neil Gaiman also shared his condolences, writing, \"Rest in Peace Adam West. We met once in 1987 and I was too embarrassed and too foolishly 'cool' to tell you what you meant to my childhood.\" Additionally, Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who had worked with West, described him as \"a wonderful actor and so kind.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6806, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "fcd6c50c3ae5d04b425c6a0525ffd88dd0f7216c", "raw_chars": 1095, "clean_chars": 988, "edit_ratio": 0.6543, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In the dying minutes of Chelsea's victory against Manchester United, Fernando Torres suffered a knee ligament injury that will cause him to miss several weeks of football.

Earlier this year, he and other officials were enlisted to make calls to news organizations, speaking on the condition of anonymity, to dispute a New York Times article about contacts between Russians and individuals tied to the Trump campaign. Pompeo has never publicly acknowledged his involvement in that effort.\n\nHe has also declined to address whether he was approached by Trump earlier this year, as other top intelligence officials were, to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion with Russia or to intervene with then-FBI Director James B. Comey to urge the FBI to back off its investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.\n\nBy all accounts, Pompeo has a closer relationship with Trump than others who fielded such requests, including Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers.\n\nPompeo was exposed to Trump’s wrath over the Russia investigation on at least one occasion, officials said. He was among those present for a meeting at the White House earlier this year when Trump began complaining about the probe and, in front of Pompeo and others, asked what could be done about it.\n\nTrapani, the CIA spokesman, declined to address the matter or say whether Pompeo has been questioned about it by Mueller. Pompeo’s conversations with Trump “are entitled to confidentiality,” Trapani said, adding that “the director has never been asked by the president to do anything inappropriate.”\n\nPompeo spends more time at the White House than his recent CIA predecessors and is seen as more willing to engage in policy battles. In interviews and public appearances, Pompeo has advocated ousting the totalitarian regime in North Korea, accused the Obama administration of “inviting” Russia into Syria, and criticized the nuclear accord with Iran.\n\nPompeo has also come under scrutiny on social issues. As part of an effort to expand chaplain services to CIA employees, which Trapani said was in response to requests from the agency workforce, Pompeo has consulted with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled an anti-gay hate group. Perkins has described that characterization as “reckless.”\n\nWhen Trump came under criticism for failing to specifically condemn Nazi sympathizers taking part in protests in Charlottesville, instead lamenting violence by “many sides,” Pompeo defended the president in a CBS interview, saying that Trump’s condemnation of bigotry was “frankly pretty unambiguous.”\n\nPompeo inherited an agency that had undergone a major reorganization under his predecessor, combining analysts and operators in a constellation of “centers” responsible for geographic regions, as well as transnational issues such as terrorism.\n\nPompeo’s alterations have been minimal. He added two centers, one devoted to North Korea and the other to Iran. All but the counterintelligence unit fall under Pompeo’s deputy on the CIA organizational chart.\n\nPompeo, who met with Russian intelligence officials in Moscow in May, would have been entitled to full briefings from the counterintelligence center even without making that bureaucratic tweak.

During his keynote address, he shared his candid views about his constituents back home. According to Dustin Hurst at Montana Watchdog, Schweitzer spent his 30-minute speech to Ohio Democrats boasting about his gubernatorial achievements, placing special emphasis on the Indian Education for All project. Schweitzer spearheaded this program, which mandates that Montana schoolchildren learn both American Indian and U.S. history.\n\nWhen asked why he championed such an innovative and groundbreaking initiative, Schweitzer offered a blunt explanation: he believed Montanans were a \"bunch of white, racist rednecks,\" using his own words. \"All over Montana, you can walk into a bar, a café, or even a school or a courthouse and just listen for a while as people talk to each other,\" Schweitzer explained, shortly after noting that 93 percent of his state's population is classified as Caucasian. \"And you will hear somebody, before very long, say something outrageously racist about the people who've lived in Montana for 10,000 years.\" He explained that he designed the program to sway the minds and hearts of the state's youth. \"So, I decided, I can't turn the heart of a 45-year-old redneck,\" he said.\n\nA video of the speech was posted by Lauren Michelle Kinsey on Plunderbund, a liberal Ohio blog. Kinsey praised Schweitzer's address, writing, \"Listening to his speech brought tears to my eyes.\" She then urged her readers to watch it, stating, \"This video is a half hour long, but it's worth watching. Much more entertaining and meaningful than a TV show...\"\n\nUnfortunately, the video is currently unavailable, marked as \"private\" on YouTube. This may be related to the coverage by Montana Watchdog.\n\nSchweitzer, who took office in 2005 and was reelected in a landslide, maintains a positive approval rating in his state. He is known for clashing with the Republican-controlled legislature, often using his veto power. He was among the top-rated governors by the Cato Institute in its 2010 report card on state chief executives, earning a \"B\" and tying for eighth on the list. Interestingly, that was the same rank Cato gave Texas Governor Rick Perry.\n\nWas Schweitzer pandering to the crowd or was he sincere in his remarks? It certainly isn't the first time he has made a controversial statement. In April, Schweitzer told the Daily Beast that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has roots in \"a polygamy commune in Mexico.\" When pressed on the issue by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Schweitzer refused to apologize.\n\nThere has been no word yet from Montana on how the governor will respond to this latest controversy.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6815, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "895d4759acc322321091dec9d8afc294a18d6d8f", "raw_chars": 3270, "clean_chars": 3254, "edit_ratio": 0.3479, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The elbows act as a guard while the body drives in behind them. You may have seen this principle in action before; boxers will put up their guard and dive in behind their elbows or forehead, hoping to cut off the opponent. However, in the modern world of mixed martial arts, it can be used much more flagrantly. Randy Couture had tremendous success by raising his elbows and running through punches to get to the inside. You can check out his old instructionals for more on that, or watch his bouts with Tim Sylvia and Gabriel Gonzaga. Bas Rutten even included a section in his Big Books of Combat where the top man in mount position places his palm on his forehead, projecting his elbow in front of him, and hammers down on his victim by dropping his weight through his head and elbow.\n\nHere is one application which caught my attention recently: Conor McGregor deflects Max Holloway's blow with his guard raised, and jams his elbow forward into Holloway to halt his forward motion. He doesn't make a decent connection or hurt Holloway, but the technique's potential is certainly obvious.\n\nTradition has it, and martial arts tradition is about as untrustworthy as you can get, that Bajiquan was originally called Bazi quan, meaning 'rake fists,' referring to the loosely clenched hands of its practitioners. You will notice that in many classical forms from all kinds of martial arts, from Bajiquan to Uechi-ryu karate, the forward elbow is performed with an unclenched hand. This frees the hand to gouge the eyes, hence 'rake fist,' or jam the fingers into the throat.\n\nRemove it from its wooden posture, and I'm sure you could see McGregor easily finding Holloway's eyes without having to look for them if Holloway had proceeded inwards after the elbow. Not that I'd recommend going full Palhares, but it's good to know these things.\n\nBits and Bobs from China\n\nYun's Baji chops can be further seen in one of his specials, Tetsuzankou, and this also highlights an important element of many Chinese martial arts which is still under-appreciated in mixed martial arts: the act of 'bumping.' In Taijiquan, this is often referred to as kao. Rather than striking with the extremities, this is the act of off-balancing the opponent with a well-placed shoulder barge, hip bump, or thigh-to-thigh bump.\n\nHow significant is bumping? Well, in mixed martial arts or fighting, pretty darn significant. Watch Lyoto Machida or Fedor Emelianenko execute their takedowns in striking exchanges; it's not so much about getting perfect control and dragging the opponent down, it's about knocking them off balance with the body and capitalizing on their loss of control. Half the time, Fedor simply ran through opponents shoulder first after his right hand lead.\n\nAnd sometimes he'd just knock them out and follow through with the bump anyway.\n\nIn Bajiquan, the practice of Tie Shan Kao is used to develop this bumping power, be it against a wall, a tree, or a training partner.\n\nThe great Japanese duelist, Miyamoto Musashi, only wrote about one technique which didn't rely on a sword in his Book of Five Rings. It was the shoulder bump to the solar plexus, and he believed that a good swordsman should be able to kill or at least brutally wind an opponent with it alone.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6809, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9f295adc11a31a9c07703b26ee66bdd73535389c", "raw_chars": 3467, "clean_chars": 3458, "edit_ratio": 0.1157, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Enough discussion about a washed-up, past-his-prime ballplayer. Let's talk about the important news that hit baseball this week: the Chicago Cubs unveiled their first official mascot in franchise history. Named Clark, the young bear cub wears his hat backward, a detail that would surely make Tinker, Evers, and Chance roll over in their graves.\n\nHere's hoping Clark brings a little good luck to a Cubs team that could certainly use it. You can't blame Theo Epstein for trying. Where were the Red Sox before Wally the Green Monster made his debut in April 1997? Exactly. With Wally around, the Red Sox ended the curse and have won three World Series titles. Don't say Theo doesn't pay attention to history.\n\nClark was met with a lot of initial anger from Cubs fans, but so was Wally. Give it time, Cubs fans. You'll learn to love Clark, assuming you win three World Series titles in the next 16 years. Plus, Clark is hardly one of the worst ten mascots of all time. Consider the following:\n\nFirst, the Crazy Crab of the Giants. The crab looked as though it was crying, maybe apropos since it was unveiled in 1984, a year the Giants lost 96 games. Players and fans hated it with equal pleasure. On the final day of the season, according to the Giants' website, Wayne Doba, who wore the crab outfit, reportedly looked up into the stands and said, \"I hope there's nobody up there with a gun.\"\n\nNext, Chief Noc-a-Homa of the Braves. Amazingly, the Chief lasted until 1986 when the Braves finally removed his teepee from the section of the outfield bleachers. The Chief would exit his teepee and perform a dance whenever the Braves hit a home run. No, seriously.\n\nThen there was the original Pirate Parrot of the Pirates. The Parrot came into existence in 1979, during the heyday of the San Diego Chicken, and the Pirates immediately won the World Series! Good move, right? Well, it turned out that Kevin Koch, the man under the costume, was dealing cocaine to players from Three Rivers Stadium. How has this not been made into a movie? After the Pittsburgh drug trials, the Parrot was redesigned to look fatter and less mean.\n\nTwinkie the Loon of the Twins is hard to believe lasted just two years. Twins fans despised Twinkie. A fan named Al Casavva wrote in to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, mocking the mascot and club: \"I've heard rumors there are actually two Loons -- one right-handed and one left-handed. Gene Mauch has said in the long run his two-Loon platoon system will be better for the ball club.\"\n\nCharlie-O of the Athletics was used as the team's mascot by owner Charlie Finley in both Kansas City and Oakland from 1963 to 1976. Charlie-O was a mule. In 1965, relievers briefly rode in on Charlie-O from the bullpen when entering a game. Ahh, more innocent times. Of course, Finley also wanted to use orange baseballs, an idea that once landed him on the cover of Time magazine.\n\nRibbie and Roobarb of the White Sox were a much-despised '80s pair. Bruce Bursma of the Chicago Tribune once described them like this: \"One looked like the dim-witted son of Oscar the Grouch, the other like a chartreuse anteater with a genetic flaw.\"\n\nBernie Brewer of the Brewers is a big hit whenever a Brewers player hits a home run. Sorry, never got the whole slide thing. But, hey, anything to promote drinking to excess!\n\nDandy of the Yankees somehow survived from 1979 to 1981.

His efforts led the Chargers to a decisive 38-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, improving the team's season record to 1-1 and their season passing stats to 42 completions on 60 attempts for 463 yards and five touchdowns.\n\nRivers' performance has been nothing short of remarkable, especially given the circumstances. Many observers, including myself, anticipated a difficult season for the Chargers after losing their primary target, wide receiver Keenan Allen, to a season-ending knee injury. With Allen on the roster, Rivers had the potential to dominate the league, but his absence seemed to guarantee a decline in offensive production. The situation appeared even more dire because the Chargers lacked a clear replacement for Allen. While they signed Travis Benjamin in free agency, he is primarily a deep threat and not typically the type of player one relies on as a number-one receiver. Nevertheless, Benjamin has stepped into that role.\n\nAdding to the challenges, running back Danny Woodhead, who emerged as a key target for Rivers in Allen's absence, was carted off the field during the game. The Chargers have already endured a rough start to the season regarding injuries, yet Rivers has continued to play at an elite level. Despite lacking a reliable top receiving option, he managed to throw for 220 yards and four touchdowns, all while avoiding turnovers.

The word guerrilla, which is homophonous with gorilla, likely evolved into monkey, possibly to make the patch sound less intimidating. An alternative etymology suggests the term refers to \"monkeying about\" with the code, or messing with it.\n\nThe definition of the term varies depending on the programming community using it. In Ruby, Python, and many other dynamic programming languages, monkey patching specifically refers to dynamic modifications of a class or module at runtime, motivated by the intent to patch existing third-party code as a workaround for a bug or a feature that does not behave as desired. Other forms of modifying classes at runtime have different names based on their distinct intents. For example, in Zope and Plone, security patches are often delivered using dynamic class modification, but they are referred to as hot fixes.\n\nMonkey patching is commonly used to replace methods, attributes, or functions at runtime, such as stubbing out a function during testing. It allows developers to modify or extend the behavior of a third-party product without maintaining a private copy of the source code. It also enables applying a patch at runtime to the objects in memory rather than altering the source code on disk. Additionally, it can be used to distribute security or behavioral fixes that live alongside the original source code, such as distributing a fix as a plugin for the Ruby on Rails platform.\n\nHowever, carelessly written or poorly documented monkey patches can lead to significant problems. They can cause upgrade issues when the patch makes assumptions about the patched object that are no longer valid. If the product you have modified changes with a new release, it may break your patch. For this reason, monkey patches are often made conditional and only applied if appropriate. Furthermore, if two modules attempt to monkey patch the same method, one of them—whichever one runs last—will \"win,\" and the other patch will have no effect, unless the monkey patches are written using a pattern like alias_method_chain. Finally, they create a discrepancy between the original source code on disk and the observed behavior, which can be very confusing to anyone unaware of the patches' existence.\n\nFor example, in Python, one can monkey patch the value of Pi from the standard math library. Initially, importing the math library and checking math.pi returns 3.141592653589793. By assigning math.pi = 3, the value changes to 3. However, upon restarting the interpreter and re-importing the math library, the value of math.pi reverts to 3.141592653589793, demonstrating that the patch only affects the running instance.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6834, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8c1c75cdf9a9e84344e9a4093322b853459094b5", "raw_chars": 3455, "clean_chars": 3482, "edit_ratio": 0.0587, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"I made sure I took off when Liverpool kicked off in the FA Cup semi-final against Everton.

Buying time for himself and others proved elusive. It has been eight months since he left the club, soon to be followed by former manager Kenny Dalglish. Carroll has been loaned out, Charlie Adam and Craig Bellamy have departed, Stewart Downing will leave if a buyer can be found in January, and doubts have been raised about Jose Enrique, Jordan Henderson, and Sebastian Coates.\n\nUruguay striker Luis Suarez, recruited for a reputed £18 million from Ajax, remains the shimmering central figure of a revolution that simply failed to revolutionise. The exodus does not reflect well on the Comolli-Dalglish era, and the Frenchman is understandably defensive. He is speaking publicly for the first time since winning an employment tribunal against the club for unfair dismissal, a case he says he did not want to bring. \"First of all, you need to look at the big picture,\" he said.\n\n\"We did 26 deals, and to think we wouldn't make any mistakes in such a huge number of deals in and out would be totally unrealistic.\"\n\n\"I do not think we made any mistakes on the players going out, and whether we made mistakes on the players who came in, time will tell. I am very uncomfortable for players to be judged after six, eight, or even 12 months. Sometimes it takes two or three years.\"\n\n\"In two or three years you can say, 'Damien and Kenny, you were wrong.' Or you can say, 'They just needed time.'\"\n\nComolli supports his argument with the example of Gareth Bale, signed while he was director of football at Tottenham, for whom it took 24 games spread over three seasons before he was part of a winning side for the club. The difficulties Luka Modric initially endured at Spurs, before he subsequently left for Real Madrid with his status and value drastically enhanced, are another example.\n\nThere is also the improvement both Enrique and Henderson have shown of late to consider. Yet the British-record £35 million deal for Carroll remains the transfer cited to exemplify financial excesses under owner John W. Henry's Fenway Sports Group.\n\n\"If you want to talk about the Carroll deal, the situation was quite clear,\" says Comolli, whose work at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger and then Spurs attracted him to Liverpool's owners.\n\n\"The way we looked at it, we were selling two players—Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel—and we were bringing two in—Suarez and Carroll—and we were making a profit, and the wage bill was coming down considerably as well. It was a four-player deal.\"\n\n\"Chelsea kept bidding higher and higher for Torres. The difference between their first and final bid is double. They asked me what the risks were, and I said if things don't go well, you'll lose something on Andy, but it is difficult to measure whether you will make money if things go well because Liverpool aren't a selling club, and he could be here for the next 10 years.\"\n\nPlenty of mud has been slung, but Comolli maintains progress was made during the 18 months he spent on Merseyside.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6853, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "449530a1385014defab9b2cf042590c6d9c903bf", "raw_chars": 1061, "clean_chars": 1192, "edit_ratio": 0.7079, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This team is genuinely in a strong position for the future.

He stands as one of the few historical examples of Plato's concept of the \"philosopher king\"—a leader defined by intelligence, reliability, and a deep appreciation for his people and responsibilities. However, Marcus Aurelius's philosophical reign is also remembered for a significant, albeit understandable, mistake: naming his legitimate son as his heir to the Roman imperium.\n\nIn some scholarly circles, this decision is viewed as less catastrophic than it might initially appear. Marcus Aurelius was not only the first emperor in nearly a century to have a legitimate son to whom he could pass the imperium, but the previous era of the Five Adoptive Emperors had been shaped by necessity as much as ideology. The adoptive system was partly driven by a fear of dynastic rule, but it was also a practical response to the fact that emperors between 96 and 161 AD lacked legitimate sons. Emperor Nerva, who assumed leadership in 96, was childless and died after only two years. His successor, Trajan, was also childless. Hadrian, despite being married, had no sons. Antoninus Pius, who was adopted by Hadrian, subsequently adopted both Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus to serve as co-emperors after his death in 161 AD. Although Antoninus had two sons with his wife, both died before he assumed power in 138 AD.\n\nThus, Marcus Aurelius broke a century-old tradition of adoption due to his unique familial circumstances. However, this shift had consequences. The Senate had appreciated the adoptive system because it prevented the establishment of dynasties, and Marcus's choice introduced the risk of hereditary rule. Unfortunately for the Roman people, Marcus's eldest son was Commodus, who would later be remembered as one of Rome's most mentally unstable and controversial leaders.\n\nMarcus Aurelius initially ruled as co-emperor with Lucius Verus, Antoninus Pius's other chosen heir, until Verus's death in 169 AD. Marcus was married to Faustina the Younger, Antoninus's daughter, after his first marriage was annulled, following his formal adoption as Antoninus's heir. The two co-emperors often clashed, with Marcus favoring his philosophical inclinations while Antoninus (and by extension, the court) leaned toward a more lavish lifestyle. Despite the author's view that choosing his own son was an unforeseeable error, Marcus's philosophical education and independent studies undoubtedly aided his governance. Like Emperor Hadrian, Marcus greatly admired Greek thought and rhetoric, studying both in depth. In fact, most of his personal writings were recorded in Ancient Greek rather than Latin. This studious nature is likely one of the primary reasons he remains such a highly respected and beloved emperor.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6853, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c36e948e60235c89b4effe01f48a789f40e2cf92", "raw_chars": 3483, "clean_chars": 3625, "edit_ratio": 0.2867, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This brings me from Bill Walsh to Sam Hinkie, the former team president of the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA. Hinkie is a thinker with a passion for sports and a passion for the process. He refused to cut corners during a bitter, multi-year tanking campaign that failed to even secure a non-trade first overall pick for the Sixers in two of the three years. Philadelphia endured 19-, 18-, and 10-win seasons over that stretch. Hinkie tried to realize his vision by drafting Joel Embiid, who was immediately injured and placed on the injured list to tank out more games. By 2016, Hinkie was gone. His team, however, has met a new fate.\n\nStill bothered by inconsistency and a few key injuries, the Sixers have a wealth of talent and cap space and are fighting their way off the mat at 13-10. It is not a great record, but their arena rocks every night as they watch a young team play hard and try to build.\n\nThis will happen to the Browns someday. Please don't click out; I swear it will.\n\nI am serious. This is the official rock bottom. Unless they become the Bill Tobin Colts of the 1990s—which I pray they are not—they cannot have this many high draft picks, this much cap space, and still be this bad in the future. It is an absolute impossibility.\n\nWe did not sit through this bitter hellstorm of football seasons for more bitter hellstorms of football seasons. With six choices in the first three rounds, the path is almost foolproof. They simply cannot mess this up. Even the Browns cannot mess this up.\n\nIt has been a horrible, long process, and this regime, just like Hinkie in Philadelphia, will not get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.\n\nYou can judge for yourself.\n\nDefensively, it was a team that was legitimately listed in the top 10 in the NFL. Costly turnovers (-19) and the issues at the safety position, which we will just have to learn to accept for the rest of the year even factoring in, contributed to it being a legitimate top-10 defense.\n\nNow, if you followed @sportsboytony on Twitter and that is it, you might have thought last week that I was going to continue to preach that they are still a top-10 defense. No. Not even close.\n\nLosing Jamie Meder, Jamie Collins, and Emmanuel Ogbah pulls them right out of any consideration of being a legitimate top-10 defense. As time goes on this season, they do not have the depth to plug in replacements. This is on the front office. Tearing down from a three-win team in 2015 has left the defense without a middle class of steady rotational players. We can hope that the loss of these key players will create some of those middle-class players, but we cannot hope that it will create wins.\n\nOffensively, the Browns had been waiting patiently for Josh Gordon to return from a near three-year absence. That is how bad their wide receiver corps has been. When you have to wait three years for a top-notch talent to come back, without any real hope of moving the football with wide receivers, you have messed up drastically.\n\nDuke Johnson shows some serious promise and rightfully makes Browns fans cringe at what he will do with a capable top-end quarterback and offense using him. Which brings us to the quarterback.\n\nIt is not all DeShone Kizer's fault. Most of it is not. Hue Jackson either did not want to start him when the Browns started him, or did not want him at all.

Until proven otherwise, I want to maintain a strict separation between these components, keeping the business logic as simple as possible.\n\nIdentifying the Interactions\n\nLet us return to the question of how to convert the types and functions on domain objects into a recognizable application by considering what additional elements are required. One approach is to recognize that we aim to construct various user stories and common tasks from basic domain operations. For example, allowing a user to create a new list with a name and have it saved if it is valid.\n\nHowever, there are certain stories we want to support and combinations of actions we do not. You might think that tests can distinguish what is allowed and what is not, but we can be more functional in our approach. What about representing this in types?\n\nOne possibility is to encode allowed actions as a set of values in a type, such as the following simple set of actions:\n\ndata UserAction = CreateList { list_name :: String } | TickList (GUID List) | DeleteList (GUID List) | ...\n\nRemember a key point of modern functional programming: types are cheap, meaning they are easy to create and use. If introducing a type helps our programming, it is a technique well worth considering.\n\nAnother consideration is that the application interface, or the interaction the user has with the application, is not just a random collection of elements. There is some kind of structure there, indicating what is allowed and what is not, and we should look to exploit this structure rather than leaving it implicit in documentation or tests. This is another example of trying to use the language to lift the level of programming, turning the implicit into explicit to reduce potential failure points.\n\nYou might also consider the interaction as being carried out in some kind of formal language or structured game, where certain sentences or moves are acceptable while others are invalid or highly inappropriate.\n\nOnce we have managed to encode the interaction in some concrete way, the next step is to write an interpreter for it. This interpreter will turn the user's requests into operations on the business concepts, effectively running the requests.\n\nYou can probably set up a similar structure on the other side, representing a set of interactions that the system will need to have with the user.

My second interaction with a police officer ever was for simply possessing a pipe I had used to smoke marijuana. My first interaction had occurred shortly before that, for smoking a cigarette. I had been stopped while with a group of friends, and all of us had been illegally searched. Obviously, none of us had anything dangerous on us, but that did not stop the police from hauling me into the police department and charging me with possession of drug paraphernalia. I was 17 years old at the time. Although the charge was eventually dismissed, as a 36-year-old man, I am still haunted by that “criminal record,” which is easily found by searching my name in the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access Program (WI CCAP) system. Despite a majority of U.S. citizens preferring that police spend their time on “real crimes,” there is too much money to be made to let such a lucrative practice go up in smoke.\n\nDrug Tests for Gas Station Clerks\n\nI came across a video recently that depicts Waukesha Alderman Aaron Perry and friends— one of whom appears to need his slippers and a beer— grilling a man over his employment at a local gas station. Despite the fact that selling alcohol to minors already carries substantial criminal and civil penalties, and that the gas station itself has a vested interest in hiring people who they feel will comply with said law, the Aldermen decide their committee’s interrogation stands between chaos and order for those purchasing a Snickers bar and a six-pack of Miller Lite.\n\nOn the day we as patriotic Americans commemorate our independence from tyranny, Adam C. was taking part in July 4 festivities in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Whitewater is home to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (UW-WW), which means it is a cash cow for the local police forces.\n\nAdam had locked his keys in his car and, at the time, apparently believed that police are there to help and would assist him in unlocking his car door. UW-WW campus officer Hanecamp jimmied open the car door. “Thank you, kind Officer, have a nice day,” Adam C. probably thought. Of course, this was just the beginning of what would be a long, expensive, and arduous process for this “offense.” I can only speculate how the highly trained officer convinced Adam C. to let him search the vehicle. What I do know is that by the time Adam was handed off to City of Whitewater Police Department officer Shawn Reif, he was told he had to pay $1,193 for the discovery of a small amount of pot and a tin foil pipe. According to a public records request, the body camera video of this incident had been purged after 120 days in accordance with policy.\n\nSo now, after nothing more than being naive as to the true role of his local police force, and after paying $1,193 in “fines,” and likely coming to terms with the fact that this arrest will affect the rest of his life, Adam is ready to move on. He moves to Waukesha and gets a position at the local Kwik Trip gas station. Little did he know that for such a position, he would have to stand before this tribunal. It is laughable what these Aldermen, who are on the taxpayers’ clock, ask Adam before finally signing off on his pursuit of happiness. I will note that Waukesha Aldermen are not drug tested.

They could also differentiate by application, limiting utility-scale systems to brownfield sites such as formerly mined land. Finally, the guidelines could differentiate by the type of generation to recognize the varying costs associated with wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, biogas, and marine technologies.\n\nIf FiTs are properly defined, every state could benefit. The heartland has wind resources, the southeast has biomass, the west coast has geothermal capacity, coastal states have wind and marine potential, and everyone can install some solar.\n\nA parallel FiT program could be offered for building upgrades to help pay for improvements like better insulation, new windows, replacing inefficient furnaces, and other methods of reducing energy waste.\n\nStates would then implement their own FiTs according to their unique capacities and needs under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA).\n\nTo pay for these FiTs, an assessment would be levied on all consumers' utility bills, similar to current charges for nuclear decommissioning, public purpose programs, and bond charges. Initially, these fees could be set at a low level, such as 1 percent, or about one-tenth of a cent per kilowatt-hour and one cent per therm of natural gas. This would provide the program with an initial annual budget of around $5 billion.\n\nThe revenues collected would go into a dedicated national Energy Trust Fund, much like how a portion of gasoline taxes funds the national Highway Trust Fund.

These panels have been adjusted and updated to support the breadth of new data involved. In this article, we will discuss the expanded Technical Overview section, where you can find a variety of information not typically suited for display via icons on the Systems panel. This also has the added benefit of allowing us to present more raw data to the reader in certain instances.\n\nBefore we begin, a few words about stats in general.\n\nQuite often, we find it said that more is automatically better with regards to ship stats, but in game design, that is not always the case. With our intention to create a diverse universe, the idea that having more of one thing than another is an automatic advantage is flawed. In many instances, it can be either a boon or a downside, and depending on the circumstance, it can even lead to a significant disadvantage.\n\nAs an example, when talking about Transport career ships, it may seem like bigger is automatically better, but there are considerations to be made beyond simply asking, \"How much can it carry?\" For starters, the more you carry at one time, the larger a target you become. A Hull-E can carry a phenomenal amount of cargo, but along with that advantage, it is also an extremely large and vulnerable ship. It is unable to land with the cargo and is slow to load due to its sheer size and the fact that it stores all of that cargo externally. The risk in taking one of these ships on a long trading run or outside UEE-protected shipping lanes is not only sizable but will also require considerable expense in buying that cargo to start. Then again, there is also the additional expense of offsetting that risk by hiring an escort to protect you. With this said, should you succeed, the individual payoff can be spectacular. We mention this not to dissuade you from flying a Hull-E, but to encourage you to think about what considerations should be taken in each situation. You might choose to do the same trip multiple times in another smaller, more protected ship and in greater safety, or take the high-risk, high-reward path. These choices are meant to be yours, and ship stats are the basis for beginning these thoughts, not ending or limiting them. As one starship captain would put it: \"I like to believe that there are always possibilities.\"\n\nWith this same regard to combat ships, the Buccaneer may wield an impressive array of weapons allowing it to pack one hell of a punch, but its trade-off in game design is that it cannot absorb a wealth of firepower in return. Trade-offs like these and others are essential in both game design and in building the immersive universe Star Citizens deserve. These trade-offs can often be offset by practice with a specific ship, individual understanding of each ship's unique characteristics, and honing your dogfighting skills in general. Those that do can put these things to great use, but for the mere Content Manager mortals amongst us, we would probably fare better in a more rugged combat ship with slightly fewer guns and more missiles.\n\nIn the final analysis, your best bet will often be in finding the right combination of pilot, ship, and situation as opposed to just picking the one with the higher number. Which spaceship is the right spaceship for you?\n\nWith that, there is a fair chunk of newly available information contained here, so let's dig down into each area and see what they are all about.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6895, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "c5f559203c1ed61c42fd0e972d242b8352275c4a", "raw_chars": 3060, "clean_chars": 3048, "edit_ratio": 0.0406, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Phenomenal states. Such qualia are sometimes referred to as phenomenal properties, and the associated sort of consciousness as phenomenal consciousness. However, the latter term is perhaps more properly applied to the overall structure of experience and involves far more than sensory qualia. The phenomenal structure of consciousness also encompasses much of the spatial, temporal, and conceptual organization of our experience of the world and of ourselves as agents within it. It is therefore probably best, at least initially, to distinguish the concept of phenomenal consciousness from that of qualitative consciousness, though they undoubtedly overlap.\n\nWhat-it-is-like states. Consciousness in both those senses links up with Thomas Nagel's (1974) notion of a conscious creature, insofar as one might count a mental state as conscious in the \"what it is like\" sense just if there is something that it is like to be in that state. Nagel's criterion might be understood as aiming to provide a first-person or internal conception of what makes a state a phenomenal or qualitative state.\n\nAccess consciousness. States might be conscious in a seemingly quite different access sense, which has more to do with intra-mental relations. In this respect, a state's being conscious is a matter of its availability to interact with other states and of the access that one has to its content. In this more functional sense, which corresponds to what Ned Block (1995) calls access consciousness, a visual state's being conscious is not so much a matter of whether or not it has a qualitative \"what it's likeness,\" but of whether or not it and the visual information that it carries is generally available for use and guidance by the organism. In so far as the information in that state is richly and flexibly available to its containing organism, then it counts as a conscious state in the relevant respect, whether or not it has any qualitative or phenomenal feel in the Nagel sense.\n\nNarrative consciousness. States might also be regarded as conscious in a narrative sense that appeals to the notion of the \"stream of consciousness,\" regarded as an ongoing more or less serial narrative of episodes from the perspective of an actual or merely virtual self. The idea would be to equate the person's conscious mental states with those that appear in the stream (Dennett 1991, 1992).\n\nAlthough these six notions of what makes a state conscious can be independently specified, they are obviously not without potential links, nor do they exhaust the realm of possible options. Drawing connections, one might argue that states appear in the stream of consciousness only in so far as we are aware of them, and thus forge a bond between the first meta-mental notion of a conscious state and the stream or narrative concept. Or one might connect the access with the qualitative or phenomenal notions of a conscious state by trying to show that states that represent in those ways make their contents widely available in the respect required by the access notion.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6895, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e5a6caa0019333a974b21f9a1762701f796033da", "raw_chars": 3412, "clean_chars": 3412, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "First published Fri Jun 18, 2004; substantive revision Tue Jan 14, 2014\n\nPerhaps no aspect of mind is more familiar or more puzzling than consciousness and our conscious experience of self and world. The problem of consciousness is arguably the central issue in current theorizing about the mind. Despite the lack of any agreed upon theory of consciousness, there is a widespread, if less than universal, consensus that an adequate account of mind requires a clear understanding of it and its place in nature. We need to understand both what consciousness is and how it relates to other, nonconscious, aspects of reality.\n\nQuestions about the nature of conscious awareness have likely been asked for as long as there have been humans. Neolithic burial practices appear to express spiritual beliefs and provide early evidence for at least minimally reflective thought about the nature of human consciousness (Pearson 1999, Clark and Riel-Salvatore 2001). Preliterate cultures have similarly been found invariably to embrace some form of spiritual or at least animist view that indicates a degree of reflection about the nature of conscious awareness.\n\nNonetheless, some have argued that consciousness as we know it today is a relatively recent historical development that arose sometime after the Homeric era (Jaynes 1974). According to this view, earlier humans including those who fought the Trojan War did not experience themselves as unified internal subjects of their thoughts and actions, at least not in the ways we do today. Others have claimed that even during the classical period, there was no word of ancient Greek that corresponds to “consciousness” (Wilkes 1984, 1988, 1995). Though the ancients had much to say about mental matters, it is less clear whether they had any specific concepts or concerns for what we now think of as consciousness.\n\nAlthough the words “conscious” and “conscience” are used quite differently today, it is likely that the Reformation emphasis on the latter as an inner source of truth played some role in the inward turn so characteristic of the modern reflective view of self. The Hamlet who walked the stage in 1600 already saw his world and self with profoundly modern eyes.\n\nBy the beginning of the early modern era in the seventeenth century, consciousness had come full center in thinking about the mind. Indeed from the mid-17th through the late 19th century, consciousness was widely regarded as essential or definitive of the mental. René Descartes defined the very notion of thought (pensée) in terms of reflexive consciousness or self-awareness. In the Principles of Philosophy (1640) he wrote,\n\nBy the word ‘thought’ (‘pensée’) I understand all that of which we are conscious as operating in us.\n\nLater, toward the end of the 17th century, John Locke offered a similar if slightly more qualified claim in An Essay on Human Understanding (1688),\n\nI do not say there is no soul in man because he is not sensible of it in his sleep. But I do say he can not think at any time, waking or sleeping, without being sensible of it. Our being sensible of it is not necessary to anything but our thoughts, and to them it is and to them it always will be necessary.\n\nLocke explicitly forswore making any hypothesis about the substantial basis of consciousness and its relation to matter, but he clearly regarded it as essential to thought as well as to personal identity.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6895, "chunk_idx": 18, "raw_sha1": "3987641e21cdf76529bde544fafbecd2d1db20f2", "raw_chars": 2916, "clean_chars": 2930, "edit_ratio": 0.1844, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Others have argued that consciousness is especially resistant to explanation in physical terms because of the inherent differences between our subjective and objective modes of understanding. Thomas Nagel famously argued in 1974 that there are unavoidable limits on our ability to understand the phenomenology of bat experience due to our inability to empathetically adopt an experiential perspective like that which characterizes the bat's echolocatory auditory experience of its world. Given our inability to undergo similar experiences, we can have at best a partial understanding of the nature of such experience. No amount of knowledge gleaned from the external, objective, third-person perspective of the natural sciences will supposedly suffice to allow us to understand what the bat can understand of its own experience from its internal, first-person subjective point of view.\n\nThe \"how\" question thus subdivides into a diverse family of more specific questions, depending upon the specific sort or feature of consciousness one aims to explain, the specific restrictions one places on the range of the explanans, and the criterion one uses to define explanatory success. Some of the resulting variants seem easier to answer than others. Progress may seem likely on some of the so-called \"easy problems\" of consciousness, such as explaining the dynamics of access consciousness in terms of the functional or computational organization of the brain (Baars 1988). Others may seem less tractable, especially the so-called \"hard problem\" (Chalmers 1995), which is more or less the task of giving an intelligible account that lets us see in an intuitively satisfying way how phenomenal or \"what it's like\" consciousness might arise from physical or neural processes in the brain.\n\nPositive answers to some versions of the \"how\" questions seem near at hand, but others appear to remain deeply baffling. Nor should we assume that every version has a positive answer. If dualism is true, then consciousness in at least some of its types may be basic and fundamental. If so, we will not be able to explain how it arises from nonconscious items since it simply does not do so.\n\nOne's view of the prospects for explaining consciousness will typically depend upon one's perspective. Optimistic physicalists will likely see current explanatory lapses as merely the reflection of the early stage of inquiry and sure to be remedied in the not too distant future (Dennett 1991, Searle 1992, P. M. Churchland 1995). To dualists, those same impasses will signify the bankruptcy of the physicalist program and the need to recognize consciousness as a fundamental constituent of reality in its own right (Robinson 1982, Foster 1989, 1996, Chalmers 1996).

Having a thought or perception of a given item, whether it is a rock, a pen, or a potato, does not generally make that item conscious. Seeing or thinking of a potato on the counter does not turn it into a conscious potato. Consequently, one might ask why having a thought or perception of a desire or a memory should make it a conscious desire or memory (Dretske 1995, Byrne 1997). It is not enough to simply note that we do not apply the term \"conscious\" to rocks or pens that we perceive or think of, but only to the mental states we perceive or think of (Lycan 1997, Rosenthal 1997). While that observation may be true, it does not provide an account of why it is appropriate to apply the term in the first place.\n\nThe higher-order view is most obviously relevant to meta-mental forms of consciousness, but some of its proponents extend it to explain other types of consciousness as well, including subjective, qualitative experiences. A common strategy is to analyze qualia as mental features that can occur unconsciously; for instance, they might be explained as properties of inner states whose structured similarity relations give rise to beliefs about objective similarities in the world (Shoemaker 1975, 1990). Although unconscious qualia can play this functional role, there need not be anything that it is like to be in a state that possesses them (Nelkin 1989, Rosenthal 1991, 1997). According to higher-order theorists, what-it-is-likeness only emerges when we become aware of that first-order state and its qualitative properties by having an appropriate meta-state directed at it.\n\nCritics of the higher-order view have disputed this account, with some arguing that the notion of unconscious qualia on which it relies is incoherent (Papineau 2002). Regardless of whether such proposed higher-order accounts of qualia are successful, it is important to note that most higher-order advocates consider themselves to be offering a comprehensive theory of consciousness, or at least the core of such a general theory, rather than a theory limited merely to special meta-mental forms of it.\n\nOther variants of higher-order theory go beyond the standard HOT and HOP versions. Some analyze consciousness in terms of dispositional rather than occurrent higher-order thoughts (Carruthers 2000). Others appeal to implicit rather than explicit higher-order understanding and weaken or remove the standard assumption that the meta-state must be distinct and separate from its lower-order object (Gennaro 1995, Van Gulick 2000, 2004). These views overlap with so-called reflexive theories discussed elsewhere. Other variants of higher-order theory continue to be proposed, and debate between supporters and critics of the basic approach remains active (see the recent papers in Gennaro 2004).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6903, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "9cc2bd3b1f22762f23670bbe8249f5009a571947", "raw_chars": 3030, "clean_chars": 3024, "edit_ratio": 0.1622, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I recognize that many women speak well of these experiences and often seek them. Women like sex, and some enjoy casual sex. Among other things, they are protecting themselves from relationships that might distract them from their studies and career pursuits. Celibacy is often not a good choice, especially given peer pressure and pressure from men, not to mention natural desire. If you want to avoid being seen as a child or a prude by women and you like men enough to want to be on good terms with them, hookups can be stimulating and convenient. One time in ten or so, you may even have an orgasm. A so-called fuck buddy can be a reasonable compromise between loneliness and a complicated romantic involvement. But these encounters and relationships are sexually asymmetrical. Someone is often being used, and it is seldom the boy.\n\nRecall that Nisa, the !Kung woman who was the subject of my late wife Marjorie Shostak’s classic, said, “Women possess something very important, something that enables men to live: their genitals.” Or as anthropologist Donald Symons, whose pioneering book The Evolution of Human Sexuality helped start this field of research, said, “Among all peoples it is primarily men who court, woo, proposition, seduce, employ love charms and love magic, give gifts in exchange for sex, and use the services of prostitutes. And only men rape. Everywhere sex is understood to be something females have that males want.” This is an exaggeration but one with a great measure of truth. Women forgot this truth when men convinced them that both sexes have the same interests; this was the sexual revolution of the sixties, which involved a lot more change and disappointment for women than for men, at least in the realm of sex. In view of persistent myths about this in the ongoing sexual revolution today, let’s look at the evidence for Symons’s pointed claim.\n\nA 2001 overview in the Personality and Social Psychology Review by Roy Baumeister, Kathleen Catanese, and Kathleen Vohs combed more than 150 studies to answer the question “Is there a gender difference in sex drive?” Overall in these studies, men have been shown to have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about sex, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, liking for various sexual practices, willingness to forego sex, initiating versus refusing sex, making sacrifices for sex, and other measures.\n\nThere were no studies with contrary findings—not a single one indicating stronger sexual motivation in women than men. In one typical study, 90 percent of men but only half of women felt sexual desire at least a few times a week. In another, the average young man was sexually aroused several times a day, the typical young woman “a couple of times a week.” In an Australian survey, people who were in a committed relationship, wanted to have sex, but were not having it were almost exclusively male.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6903, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "a5e0b0571ebf51ca77bc48b829190765d15e2495", "raw_chars": 3386, "clean_chars": 3383, "edit_ratio": 0.0634, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Compared to women, men begin to have sexual intercourse earlier in life, despite experiencing puberty later. They are less willing to give up sex for any part of life, are more permissive and favorable toward sex, initiate sex much more often in longer relationships, and show a greater preference for every sexual practice, including, rather astoundingly, cunnilingus. Although men often suffer from physical problems like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, hypoactive sexual desire, whether by diagnosis or self-report, is overwhelmingly female.\n\nIn their classic 1989 study, \"Gender Differences in Receptivity to Sexual Offers,\" social psychologists Russell Clark and Elaine Hatfield had confederates who were college men and women of average attractiveness approach strange but attractive members of the opposite sex on campus and say, \"I've been noticing you around campus lately and find you very attractive. Would you like to go to bed with me tonight?\" Of the men, 75 percent said yes; of the women, 100 percent said no. Some men said things like \"Why wait till tonight?\" Some women said things that I won't repeat here.\n\nIn 2011, psychologist Terri Conley claimed to have repeated this study; she found that under some conditions, the difference between the sexes was much smaller. However, there was a minor problem with this \"replication\": it was purely a paper-and-pencil study. I am sorry, but that is not remotely a repeat of the classic study. Yet the media seized on it as proof that sexual mores have dramatically changed and that women are almost as interested in casual sex as men. The current wish to deny the facts of life is very great.\n\nSuppose we ask what happens when you remove the slight complication of having to deal with another person, whether a stranger, intimate long-term partner, or anything in between. Sex differences in masturbation are consistent and large. Women are much more likely to have never masturbated; women who do masturbate do it much less frequently at all ages than men. In a 2011 summary of meta-analyses and large data sets, psychologists Jennifer Petersen and Janet Shibley Hyde confirmed substantial sex differences in masturbation—even with such blunt (and indeed almost ridiculous, if you are looking at sex differences) measures as whether someone has masturbated in the past year—and in pornography use, in the usual direction.\n\nConsider people's fantasy lives. Here, too, there is no other person present. You can dream up whatever you want, no risk, no compromise, no complications. In one study, Bruce Ellis and Donald Symons gave three hundred male and female students an anonymous questionnaire. Men (32 percent) were four times as likely as women to say they had fantasized about having sex with more than one thousand different people (by college age). Men were much more likely to say that visual images were more important than touching in their fantasies (66 percent versus 39 percent), women twice as likely to say touching (55 percent versus 28 percent). Men were about twice as likely to focus on visual images rather than feelings, women three times as likely to say feelings. And men were almost three times as likely (48 percent versus 17 percent) to agree that in their fantasies, \"the situation quickly includes explicitly sexual activity.\" These findings have been repeated in many studies.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6908, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "03c9983301d674ca8da503b24312771ea824a109", "raw_chars": 3046, "clean_chars": 3046, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Correia’s Warbound lost to Leckie’s novel at the 2014 Hugos. This year, the Puppies got his Monster Hunter Nemesis a nomination, but he turned it down. “I very specifically don’t want this to be about me,” he says, “and I didn’t want them to be able to make it about me.” Correia and Brad Torgersen, a 41-year-old chief warrant officer in the Army Reserve who took over the third Sad Puppies campaign this year, tell me they’re not racist or sexist or antigay. They just want sci-fi to be less preachy and upper-crusty and more fun. Torgersen calls his books blue-collar speculative fiction; on the phone from the Middle East, where he is currently deployed, Torgersen laments what he calls “the cognitive dissonance of people saying, ‘No, the Hugos are about quality,’ and then at the same time they’re like: ‘Ooh, we can vote for this author because they’re gay,’ or ‘Ooh, we’re going to vote for this author because they’re not white.’”\n\nTorgersen often notes in interviews that he’s been married to an African-American woman for 21 years, so “I don’t need some know-it-all to come lecture me about race stuff,” he tells me. Torgersen says the Hugos are beset by identity politics—and are the poorer for it: “When people go on about how we’re anti-diversity, I’m like: No. All we’re saying is storytelling ought to come first.”\n\nAh, but of course that’s not all the Puppies are saying. At least, not the Rabid faction. Their leader is a self-described libertarian blogger named Theodore Beale who goes by the pen name Vox Day—loosely, “the Voice of God,” though he says the meaning of the name is more complex. He’s a 47-year-old former rocker (he wrote songs for Psykosonik) and is the son of a wealthy Minnesota entrepreneur and Republican leader currently in jail for tax evasion. Beale speaks five languages, he tells me, and one of his children “is the youngest male published author in history.” The book came out when the boy was 6.\n\n“Science fiction is not actually the literature of the future. It’s the literature of the present.”\n\nBeale also says that he’s not white. “I’m Native American. My great-grandfather rode with Pancho Villa, and I get to do that—make that claim—according to the rules of SJW.” When I ask how much Native American blood he has, he says, “I’m not going to go into details, but I will say that it is so significant that even my kids qualify for tribal membership. I’m a mix. I mean, I’m also considered a Mexican. I have the genetic analysis.”\n\nBased on his voluminous writings, Beale—who writes fiction, edits for a small publisher called Castalia House, and designs games—opposes racial diversity, homosexuality, and women’s suffrage. Speaking by phone from his home in Northern Italy, Beale quibbles with that analysis. For example, he says he doesn’t oppose all women’s suffrage, just women voting in a representative democracy. The reason: “Women are very, very highly inclined to value security over liberty” and thus are “very, very easy to manipulate.” He favors direct democracy—and, obviously, men.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6910, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f6069c3d389ea4ac3e3bc1a0426ecf24b28e8023", "raw_chars": 1659, "clean_chars": 1659, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "If you choose to believe the assorted experts from the NHL Network and NHL.com, Sidney Crosby will leave Las Vegas with the Hart Trophy (MVP) in 2013.\n\nOf the six NHL Network members (Kelly Chase, EJ Hradek, Mike Johnson, Barry Melrose, Kathryn Tappen and Kevin Weekes) and six NHL.com staffers (Arpon Basu, Adam Kimelmen, Dave Lozo, Corey Masisak, Shawn Roarke and Dan Rosen), eight believe the Pittsburgh Penguins' superstar will be the NHL's most valuable player.\n\nThree of the remaining four chose Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning, with one lone wolf choosing Tyler Seguin of the Boston Bruins to win the award.\n\nThe prognostication of the Stanley Cup champion was far more varied.\n\nThe New York Rangers were pegged to win their first Stanley Cup since 1994 and second since 1940 by three experts, while the Penguins also had three backers to win the Cup.

Gamergate spawned rape threats aimed at women who had the temerity to offer opinions about video games.

When Thor once got replaced by a frog, no one uttered a peep, or a ribbit. Mad Max: Fury Road, in which Charlize Theron seeks to rescue a bunch of women from sex slavery and Max is more of a sidekick, drove the so-called men's rights movement into a froth.\n\nIt looks an awful lot like a counterrevolution, a push by once-powerful forces attempting to reclaim privileged status. Nowhere is this revanchism playing out more vividly than in the culturally potent literary subgenre of science fiction.\n\n\"I love chaos. I wanted to leave a big, smoking hole where the Hugos were.\"\n\nThe three white men who led this movement broke no rules when they selected and promoted their Hugo nominees. They took advantage of a loophole in an arcane voting process that enables a relatively small number of voters to dominate. First, a group calling itself the Sad Puppies posted a slate of suggested candidates to a well-trafficked blog, a slate that included women writers as well as men. Then, a day later, a more militant wing, the Rabid Puppies, posted another slate that captured most of the original writers and added several more, with a directive that people vote for it without deviating, creating an unstoppable bloc. Now, all the various Puppies insist they are trying to expand, not reduce, diversity, at least as they define the word. They say the Hugos have gotten snobby and exclusionary. The Puppies hate the politicization of a genre they love and want to return it to its roots: exploration of the unknown and two-fisted adventure.\n\nOf course, like all fiction, science fiction is inherently political. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, arguably the first sci-fi novel, was a monster story that explored the ethics of technological advance and the responsibilities of parenthood. Sci-fi uses a fantastical toolkit to take apart the here and now, from H. G. Wells' novella The Time Machine to Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl, a cautionary tale of climate change. So trying to crush diversity of authors, of characters, of stories, of themes in sci-fi crushes the whole point. Which is perhaps the main reason to worry about Puppygate: Sci-fi that accommodates only one future, one kind of politics, and one kind of person just isn't doing its job.\n\nThat's partially why so many authors with literary aspirations come sniffing around the genre so often. It lets them wrap ethical and cultural issues in highly readable plots. And now that movies are dominated by space and superheroes, television by dragons and zombies, books by plagues and ghosts, science fiction isn't a backwater anymore. It's mainstream.\n\nOver the summer, as the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention, where the Hugo winners are announced, approached, the final balloting became a referendum not only on the future of the genre but on the future of the future. \"It's one award,\" N. K.

By evening’s end, not a single Puppy-endorsed candidate took home a rocket trophy. In the five categories that had only Puppy-provided nominees on the ballot—Best Novella, Best Short Story, Best Related Work, and Best Editors for Short and Long Form—voters chose “No Award.”\n\nEarlier, Beale explained to me that his plan was a “Xanatos gambit”—“that’s where you set it up so that no matter what your enemy does, he loses and you win.” No surprise, then, that in an email he sent after the awards ceremony, Beale was crowing. “The scorched-earth strategy being pursued by the SJWs in science fiction is evidence that we hold the initiative and we are winning,” he wrote. The number of major categories in which no awards were given “demonstrates the extent to which science fiction has been politicized and degraded by their far left politics.”\n\nBut even as Beale vowed to renew the fight, John Scalzi, a novelist and three-time Hugo winner who has been among Beale’s most outspoken opponents, said the prominence of writers like Jemisin proved the war was already over. “She stands on the shoulders of every other woman and minority and gay and lesbian and trans- or bisexual folk who had to put up with shit before,” he said. “She and lots of other people are now in a position where they can firmly plant their feet and say, ‘This is bullshit,’ and have a large number of people go, ‘You’re absolutely right.’”\n\nWhich brings us back, in a roundabout way, to Martin.

Do you need the trophy, too?” he asked. “Can’t the trophy go to the guy who sells 5,000 copies but is doing something innovative?” Of course, that’s easy for someone of Martin’s stature—and success—to say. But it’s hard to argue with his lament about the hateful discourse and the name-calling that the Puppy-scuffle has prompted.

This plan aims to free up temporary supply during unplanned outages and extreme weather conditions, such as prolonged summer heatwaves.\n\nSo, how will this impact you, and could you actually earn a free day of electricity by switching off your pool pump? Here is what has been announced.\n\nARENA will fund ten pilot projects designed to manage Australia's electricity supply during extreme peak demand periods. These pilot projects will be trialled across three states—Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales—over a three-year period.\n\nThe funding recipients vary across these regions, but EnergyAustralia has been granted funding in all three states. In New South Wales, AGL, EnerNOC, Progressive Green, and Flow Power have been awarded funding. In South Australia, Zen Ecosystems, Intercast, and Forge will receive funding. Meanwhile, in Victoria, funding has been granted to United Energy Distribution Pty Ltd, EnerNOC, Zen Ecosystems, and Powershop Australia.\n\nWill you really be paid to cut your power usage? Yes. The demand management program will involve paying an incentive for energy users to reduce their power consumption, switch to backup generation, or dispatch their energy storage for short periods when electricity reserves reach critically low levels. However, participation is voluntary, so you will need to register your interest if you want to be part of the program.\n\nEnergy and Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg stated that this could translate to a household being paid $25 each time it switches off power at a peak demand time. If this happened ten times in a year—the maximum number of days the program is expected to be used—the household would be $250 richer. This is on top of the savings on their power bills, as well as the reductions in carbon emissions.\n\nWhat other incentives could you get? Powershop Australia says it will be offering its customers a discount on their bill, while EnergyAustralia says incentives could include credits on energy bills, movie tickets, and gift vouchers. \"Ultimately, it has to be an arrangement that provides value for the customer so they want to participate,\" a spokesperson for EnergyAustralia said. The specific incentives depend on the various electricity companies participating in the trial.\n\nSo, how will you know when it is peak time? Victorian power company Powershop Australia will text customers who have registered their interest in the program, asking them to reduce their usage at a certain time. However, it will be up to different companies to alert customers when they should turn off their power. According to Origin Energy, periods of peak demand tend to occur when \"temperatures hit extremes, industry is operating, and millions of households are using fans and air-conditioners all at the same time.\" While times vary between each state, AEMO data shows peak periods seem to occur in the early morning from 6:00 am onwards and later in the afternoon from 4:00 pm.\n\nHow long will you have to switch off for?

During the early months of the season, as Arsenal struggled to keep pace with the league leaders, it was not merely his preternatural comfort on the ball that set him apart, but his insatiable appetite for the game. It was inevitable that this hyperkinetic performance would exact a physical toll, yet when Arsene Wenger offered him a rest in late December, the player declined. Although the fatigue from carrying his teammates eventually caught up with him, he still managed to score more goals than the Belgian who was voted the Premier League's Player of the Year. Perhaps best of all, he ensured that no one would ever again point to an Arsenal player bearing the letter \"A\" and conjure up the pain of the Andre Arshavin years.\n\nFabian Delph has driven Aston Villa to Premier League safety and an FA Cup final since signing a new contract. Fabian Delph, Aston Villa.\n\nLesser minds might claim that I am picking the all-action Villa captain as a pathetic ploy to distract him from the business at hand—namely, his team's date with defeat in the FA Cup Final on May 30. You know, something akin to the \"dodgy lasagna\" that Arsenal were suspected of providing to Spurs players on the eve of a 2006 match that could have clinched fourth place for North London's perennial underachievers. But as much as I wish I had the power to put Delph off his game, it became abundantly clear this season that he does not lose his focus easily. His armband and his left boot, perhaps, but never his steely determination. Who can forget the ugly pitch invasion that followed Villa's dramatic FA Cup quarterfinal victory over West Brom? Delph was mobbed by overzealous fans who made off with just about everything but his dignity.\n\n\"It was scary,\" Delph said after fighting his way across the field to the tunnel. \"People tried to kiss me and were biting me.\"\n\nWell, fair is fair, since Delph has put the bite back in both Villa's and England's midfield over the past year. A snarling, physical style honed at Leeds under Dennis Wise may have resulted in an unsightly collection of yellow cards, but the aggression is now allied to high-grade skills and dynamic box-to-box energy. This has lifted Villa out of the dark, relegation-threatened era of Paul Lambert and powered them on to Wembley. \"In my opinion, Fabian Delph is the best midfield player in the country at the moment,\" said Villa's manager Tim Sherwood, whose arrival in February injected a much-needed dose of passion and excitement at Villa Park. \"I won't swap him for anyone.\"\n\nSherwood has nothing to worry about because, much to the surprise of everyone, including probably Delph's agent, the captain signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Villa at the turn of the year when Paul Lambert was still in charge and the club was teetering on the lip of the drop zone.

Speculation on the tunnels ranges from them being for drainage, acting as access ways, or having the function of enhancing ground connection or resonance by interacting with the water table below the tower, perhaps by being filled with salt water or liquid nitrogen.\n\nThe Tesla biographer John Joseph O'Neill noted the cupola at the top of the 186-foot tower had a 5-foot hole in its top where ultraviolet lights were to be mounted, perhaps to create an ionized path up through the atmosphere that could conduct electricity. How Tesla intended to employ the ground conduction method and atmospheric method in Wardenclyffe's design is unknown. Power for the entire system was to be provided by a coal-fired 200-kilowatt Westinghouse alternating current industrial generator.\n\nConstruction began in September 1901, but money was so short—with Morgan still owing Tesla the remainder of the original $150,000 promised—that Tesla complained in a letter to White he was facing foreclosure. Tesla kept writing Morgan letters pleading for more money and assuring the financier his wireless system would be superior to Marconi's, but in December Tesla's plans were dealt another serious blow when Marconi announced to the world he was able to send a wireless transmission (the Morse code for the letter S) across the Atlantic.\n\nTesla's Wardenclyffe plant on Long Island, circa 1902, was in a partial stage of completion. Work on the 55-foot-diameter cupola had not yet begun, and a coal car was parked next to the building. Construction at Wardenclyffe continued through 1902, and in June of that year, Tesla began moving his laboratory operations from his 46 East Houston Street laboratory to the 94-foot-square brick building at Wardenclyffe. By the end of 1902, the tower reached its full height of 187 feet.\n\nWhat Tesla was up to at Wardenclyffe and the site itself was generally kept from the public. Tesla would respond to reporters' inquiries by stating there was a similar wireless plant in Scotland and that \"We have been sending wireless messages for long distances from this station for some time, but whether we are going into the telegraph field on a commercial basis I cannot say at present.\" Tesla continued to write to Morgan, asking the investor to reconsider his position on the contract and invest the additional funds the project needed.\n\nIn a July 3, 1903 letter, Tesla wrote, \"Will you help me or let my great work — almost complete — go to pots?\" Morgan replied on July 14, \"I have received your letter and in reply would say that I should not feel disposed at present to make any further advances.\"\n\nThe night of Morgan's reply, and several nights after, newspapers reported that the Wardenclyffe tower came alive, shooting off bright flashes that lit up the night sky.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6944, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "82f884ea10bb3e73b374cfbd31e2924427012cdd", "raw_chars": 3348, "clean_chars": 3348, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I could have made this so easy; just copy Chelsea's roster and call it my Premier League Best XI for 2014-15.

Three years later, the 6-foot-4 de Gea with his condor-like wingspan soars head and shoulders above every goalkeeper in the Prem -- and maybe even the world. He was arguably the player of the year, but in a sport whose defining characteristic is a ban on the use of hands, the PFA was never going give him the nod over a field wizard like Eden Hazard.\n\nDe Gea was a dominant force for Manchester United this season. Will he be there next season?\n\nUnder the watchful eye of Louis van Gaal, De Gea had so many jaw-dropping saves this season that he made the miraculous seem routine. Still, two stand out: point-blank shots from Mario Balotelli and Glenn Murray that the Spaniard stoned by somehow fast-twitching his arm into position to claw them away. According to Opta, he hasn't dropped a single thing all season ... except for a strong hint that playing for Real Madrid was his childhood dream.\n\nIf De Gea has played his last game for United (and all signs point to him setting up a new rookery at the Bernabeu next season) he has come a long way from his jittery debut campaign.

What did he say?\" Newcomers are sometimes confused by the auctioneer's rapid speech and feel that the auctioneer is saying words and sounds that aren't meant to be understood. Although the most widely recognized talent of the auctioneer is undoubtedly his or her ability to talk rapidly, the first thing one should know about auctioneers is that their main job is to communicate. If the audience cannot understand the auctioneer, then the auctioneer is not doing a good job.\n\nThis method of rapid-fire talking is called the auctioneer's chant. The rhythmic chant used by most livestock auctioneers in the United States is unique to North America. It evolved as auctioneers saw the need to sell animals in a more rapid manner. The chant is used to hold the attention of the audience and to keep the auction moving at a steady pace. Unlike other types of sales, an auction is an event where all the customers are present at the same time. Thus, the auctioneer is responsible for selling all the animals within a few hours, and his or her use of the chant helps keep the items moving. The chant is a series of numbers connected by \"filler\" words to give the buyer time to think between bids.\n\nA basic auctioneer chant goes like this: \"Who'll give me a hundred dollars? One hundred dollar bid, now two, now two, will ya give me two? Two hundred dollar bid, now three, now three hundred, will ya give me three? Two hundred, two and a half, two-fifty, how about two-fifty? Fifty? Fifty? Fifty? I got it! How about two sixty? Sixty? Sixty? I've got two sixty, now seventy? How about seventy? Two-seventy?\"\n\nMost auctioneers have their own series or combination of filler words. These words are everything except the numbers. Filler words are used to restate the last number bid and to give buyers time to consider whether they want to bid higher. The filler words are carriers; they \"carry\" the numbers, which are the most important part of the chant.\n\nAuctioneers create a steady rhythm in their chants by using phrases that flow and roll. The rhythm enables the crowd to listen longer and faster by keeping the bids at regular intervals. This helps the bidders know what to expect next and to keep the bids coming at a constant pace. Auctioneers can be seen moving their hands to the rhythm of the chant. This helps keep the bid fresh in the auctioneer's mind. For example, palms up might be the auctioneer's private signal to himself that he is on an even hundred bid. Palm down might be an odd hundred bid, or fifty. Each auctioneer develops his own method of keeping track.\n\nMany people think auctioneers sound like they're singing because the rhythm has a beat much like music does. The steady beat allows the auctioneer's chant to move more rapidly than normal speech. Since auctioneers have a limited amount of time to sell many animals, they need to speak quickly. At an average horse auction, the auctioneer's chant helps him or her sell an average of 30 animals per hour. Certain types of auctions go even faster: wholesale automobile auctioneers frequently sell 125 to 175 cars per hour, and tobacco auctioneers may sell 500 to 600 lots per hour, with buyers using a series of hand motions to signify bids. These hand signals are universal, which enables foreign buyers to communicate with the auctioneer.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6976, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d99a22688c888809a7ce347d8b0a7a76567f19a6", "raw_chars": 1563, "clean_chars": 1459, "edit_ratio": 0.9047, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I officially received amazing gifts from Santa this year.

With approximately two weeks remaining in the melt season, the possibility of setting a new record annual minimum in September remains open.\n\nA record for Arctic sea ice melt was set in 2007. Much attention was given to the sea ice \"recovery\" during the ensuing winter of 2007-2008. However, while the Arctic sea ice returned to an extent similar to that of the winter prior to the record melt, much of the new ice was very thin. Consequently, even though 2008 has been a cooler year than 2007—partially due to a strong La Niña cycle—the new, thinner ice has proven to be more susceptible to melting.\n\nBecause the new, thinner ice is more susceptible to melting, the Arctic sea ice melt this year has deviated from the normal pattern. Usually, the melt rate slows by mid-August, but this year it continued to melt rapidly, allowing August 2008 to break the record rate of melt for that month. Ironically, the August melt was greater than the size of Alaska, a state very close to the Arctic from which Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hails. Palin does not believe that humans are causing global warming.\n\nWhile this summer's melt will not leave the North Pole ice-free, as a few scientists predicted was a possibility, it may break the record melt of 2007 despite 2008 being a significantly cooler year.

These themes and lists are practical tools because scientists are exploring a vast number of new mountains, trenches, plains, rock nests, streambeds, and impact craters on Mars. They need a convenient way to discuss these features.

As a hunter who advocates for ethical, fair-chase hunting and the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, while also respecting Native American Nations' sovereignty, I find these practices deeply concerning.\n\nThere is a growing call for a National Academy of Sciences review of wildlife brucellosis in the Greater Yellowstone Area to halt the politicization of brucellosis management. Advocates are petitioning for peer-reviewed science to guide wildlife management for bison and elk. Under the IBMP, established by the federal government and the State of Montana in 2000, guidelines were set to manage the risk of brucellosis transmission from bison to cattle. These measures include hazing, test-and-slaughter protocols, hunting, and other actions near the park boundary.\n\nHowever, critics argue that APHIS and the Montana Department of Livestock have sought to stall the restoration of wild bison onto Montana public lands. Bison entering these areas are often shot, captured for studies, slaughtered at the boundary under the guise of hunting, or hazed back into Yellowstone National Park. These actions are justified by the exaggerated claim that bison pose a disease threat to humans and livestock. In reality, APHIS is pursuing an agenda to eradicate brucellosis in wildlife. The Montana Department of Livestock is reportedly willing to accept APHIS eradication funds—derived from federal taxpayer dollars—to market their beef as \"Brucellosis Class Free\" and to remove forage-competiting ungulates from the landscape, as permitted under Montana Code Annotated 81-2-120.\n\nRecent scientific reports indicate that the transmission risk from wild Yellowstone National Park (YNP) bison to cattle is between 0.0% and 0.3%, with the 0.3% figure serving as an academic safety net. Elk, conversely, represent 99.7% to 100% of the risk. Documents reveal that APHIS and the DOL have shifted from outright slaughter, which sparked public outrage and a public relations backlash, to seeking less obvious methods of eradicating wild bison that test positive for brucellosis exposure. One such method involves using hunters to slaughter bison exiting Yellowstone National Park, rather than allowing a true \"fair chase\" hunt, as is required for other wildlife in Montana.\n\nHistorical context highlights the sensitivity of public hunting of bison. A public hunt authorized by the 1985 Montana Legislature was rescinded by the 1991 Legislature due to the bad publicity it generated. Current regulations, specifically Montana Code Annotated 87-2-730 (effective March 1, 2014), state that the public hunting of wild buffalo or bison designated as a species in need of disease control under 81-2-120 is permitted only when authorized by the Department of Livestock.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 6999, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a01d5c6122cc336a7caecd4da0f9b5c53e94e0eb", "raw_chars": 1551, "clean_chars": 1632, "edit_ratio": 0.7707, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A group of 40 retired Brazilian diplomats has signed a statement opposing Israel's controversial appointment of former settler leader Dani Dayan as ambassador to Brazil.

More recently, studies have demonstrated that the increased biodiversity found in these strips includes species of insects and birds that act as an all-natural pest control, reducing or eliminating the need for pesticides.\n\nHow these strips affect crop yields, however, has been largely unexplored. That is the topic researchers tackled in a study published recently in the journal Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment. They found that the presence of nearby perennial, species-rich wildflower strips increased winter wheat production by 10 percent as compared to control fields.\n\n\"Farmers care about biodiversity and they likely also know about the importance of natural enemies of crop pests,\" said lead author Matthias Tschumi. \"But what is mostly decisive for the farmer is what he gets in terms of yield at the end of the day.\"\n\nScientists from Agroscope, the governmental Swiss Centre of Excellence for Agricultural Research, conducted the research on Swiss winter wheat fields, which are often plagued by the cereal leaf beetle—a major pest in Europe, Asia, and parts of North America. They took advantage of the many farms that have implemented wildflower strips as part of a government subsidy program that aims to boost biodiversity on farm lands.\n\nThe researchers selected ten pairs of fields that were similar in terms of their landscape and how they are managed. In each pair, however, one field was adjacent to a previously established wildflower strip and the other to a crop field. Pesticides were not used on any of the fields. Over the course of a few months, they measured cereal leaf beetle eggs and larvae, crop damage and crop yields, at 5 meters and 10 meters from the border of the wildflower strip. They found a 44 percent reduction in beetle eggs, putting it under the threshold for pesticide application, a 66 percent reduction in larvae, and 40 percent reduction in crop damage, all at 5 meters. Crop yields, however, increased at both the 5 and 10 meter marks.\n\nThe wildlife strips provide habitat for natural predators of other known wheat pests, so reductions in pests other than the cereal leaf beetle—not measured in this study—may have contributed to the increased yields, Tschumi said.\n\nWhile Tschumi said he was surprised at how big of an effect they found on crop yields, the paper did not take into account any losses in yields that farmers would incur if they set aside arable lands for wildflower strips. He also cautioned that while the range of effect of 10 meters is significant for the scale of Swiss farms, it may be \"rather ridiculous\" for the scale of many American farms. That said, some of the natural predators present in the wildflower strips are highly mobile, he said, and effects may well extend to greater distances and should be assessed in future studies.\n\nEven still, Tschumi hopes that the findings in this study, which constitute a win-win for biodiversity and farming, will sway more farmers to incorporate wildflower strips into their farmlands.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7013, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "14e4dfbcd9be08736b9a55ee743e018445f8ad2e", "raw_chars": 3413, "clean_chars": 3349, "edit_ratio": 0.3638, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A report published in The Washington Post late last week made a shocking claim that computer code, previously tied by the Obama administration to a Russian-backed hacking operation, had been found inside the systems of a Vermont utility company.

Subsequent reporting, however, indicates that the original Washington Post story was incorrect.\n\nThis prompted The Post to issue an editor's note stating that an earlier version of the story incorrectly claimed Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid, adding that authorities said there was no indication of that at the time. Nearly five days later, The Post finally admitted to a major mistake in its original reporting. The newspaper initially reported incorrectly that the country's electric grid had been penetrated through a Vermont utility. After Burlington Electric released a statement clarifying that the potentially compromised laptop had not been connected to the grid, The Post immediately corrected its article and later added an editor's note explaining the change.\n\nAs it turns out, federal officials are now telling The Post that the suspicious code found on the computer of a Vermont utility employee is likely not linked to any Russian government effort to target or hack the utility. Further, the latest report states that further investigation appears to show the Vermont utility employee was checking his Yahoo email account on Friday and triggered an alert indicating that his computer had connected to a suspicious IP address associated by authorities with the Russian hacking operation that infiltrated the Democratic Party. That initial part of the investigation finding seems to have set off a firestorm over the weekend on social media.\n\nHowever, it now appears that federal officials told the utility company that traffic with this particular address is found elsewhere in the country, which suggests the company was not being targeted by the Russians after all. What's more, investigators are saying the traffic could be benign, since this particular IP address is not always connected to malicious activity.\n\nThat is quite a different story from the one published last week, which had prominent members of the D.C.-N.Y.C. media in a frenzy. For example, The New York Times editorial writer Brent Staples seemingly deleted a tweet that read: \"Our Russian 'friend' Putin attacked the U.S. power grid.\"\n\nPoliticians like Senator Patrick Leahy are likely also a little red in the face this morning after issuing a stern statement based on the original report. He had stated, \"State-sponsored Russian hacking is a serious threat, and the attempts to penetrate the electric grid through a Vermont utility are the latest example.\"\n\nHowever, the reporting had its critics, most prominently Glenn Greenwald, who was one of the first to call out The Post's reporting. He wrote on Saturday: \"There was no 'penetration of the U.S. electricity grid.' The truth was undramatic and banal.

He told Ortega about an ill-fated trip to Clearwater, during which he had planned to spend $25,000 on scheduled courses. \"The first day he was told that he had to go through a 'security check,'\" Ortega said. \"It's an interrogation to make sure you're loyal. That takes two weeks. All that time, you're paying for the room, you're paying for food, you're paying to be interrogated.\"\n\nBecause devotees continuously complete levels, the goalposts keep moving. There are \"unreleased\" OT levels promised for the future, and additional courses mean practitioners are encouraged to pay potentially hundreds of thousands more in search of enlightenment. Ortega noted that, over the course of a lifetime, a Scientologist can spend $2 million on courses, travel, and church donations.\n\nHe also observed more desperate measures on the part of the church. \"I have seen coordination of celebrities in the last couple of years—Kirstie Alley, Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, and Kelly Preston—all finishing OT-VII, then going out on tour and talking about it,\" Ortega said. \"It told me that Miscavige knows Scientology is in big trouble and asked celebrities to rally the troops.\"\n\nRinder believes the Clearwater push is part of that strategy.

It is also one of the few internationally recognized non-Hollywood films.\n\nStory\n\nThere isn't much structure to this movie. Most of the film is just going through the life of recovering drug addict Renton (Ewan McGregor) and his friends as they go through many misadventures.

Horrible things happen to those who are constantly using heroin; a baby dies from her abandoning mother's lack of attention, somebody who starts heroin halfway through the film gets HIV and dies from it, etc. The theme is a warning against addiction and there's a really good scene that highlights this: four of the main characters are having little sexual expeditions and it's all fine and dandy, but then when they wake up the next morning they each have a terrible side effect or result, much like drug addiction. Thankfully, though, this film understands why people can get addicted to this stuff; because it's fun.

This is important to understand if you want to accurately portray drug addiction and what people go through to get rid of it, which the movie seems to want to do.\n\nYou'd think it'd be really hard to relate to a bunch of low down tweekers, but you do sympathize with them in the end. You want to see Renton get rid of his addiction because you know he could be happy if he just tried. It's almost like watching a toddler trying to get up on his feet and failing miserably; you still root for him but it's hard to watch.\n\nIMDB characterizes this film as a dark comedy, which is weird to me because I don't remember myself laughing a whole lot. The screenplay does drama way better than it tells jokes. Maybe it's because I'm not usually one for dark comedies or maybe I was supposed to laugh at how stupid all the characters were, but I only laughed at a few parts, but was grossly intrigued by the rest of it.\n\nTechnical\n\nThe set design is part of what sells the \"drugs will ruin your whole life\" message that the film is pushing; it looks awful. What I mean is the set design is amazing at making everything look disgusting. There's a scene where they go to \"the worst toilet in Scotland\" and it really does look like the worst toilet in Scotland. It's symbolic of the slimy, crap filled existence that spawns from a life of drug addiction. Renton's apartment also fits the bill, with holes in the walls, ripped carpeting and rotten floorboards. This also adds the the idea of heroin as a life destroyer, because when he starts to recover from it his surroundings get cleaner and more hospitable. The costume design also does this; when he's on heroin Renton wheres shabby, dirty clothing, but when he's recovering his clothes look cleaner.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7026, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "84f8173f10129e0c8d7a4947ec8e2f8f488b9107", "raw_chars": 3059, "clean_chars": 3060, "edit_ratio": 0.0005, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "What to do when you get it all home – This is easily the most fun part: the discovery process. I try not to look at every single card when I’m evaluating the collection, just so that there’s an element of surprise when I get home and open it all up. The best way to approach this is to systematically go through and touch every single card so that you don’t miss anything. As you go through, pull out every single card that catches your eye and every single rare you spot. All of them. I can’t stress this enough. Nothing is worse than going through 20,000 cards, getting to the end, realizing you were pulling out cards later on that you weren’t at the start, and having to do it all again. If some of the stuff you pull out isn’t worth the effort of selling it, it’s very easy to dump it back into a card box. Once you get everything out, start by setting aside everything you want to keep for yourself. Then begin looking up prices of everything you aren’t sure is worth selling. Any commons and uncommons that aren’t worth it can go back into the boxes. Set any bulk rares aside. The reason for this is that when it eventually comes time to deal with getting rid of the leftover chaff, having all the rares separated makes it easy for you to figure out how many there are for reselling or bulking out.\n\nMaking your money back – My preferred way of accomplishing this is not eBay, but rather going through established communities. I personally use MTGS, Twitter, and another community forum. Others prefer MOTL and various other sites. If your city has a general MTG Facebook page, that’s a great resource as well.\n\nBuylisting the cards is an option. You will definitely get better rates of return on selling directly to individuals, but it takes a hell of a lot more time than just sending a few hundred cards to whatever vendor and getting a check. This decision is personal preference. I haven’t opted for this, but I can see the appeal.\n\nWhen planning to sell to individuals, I begin by alphabetizing everything I’m selling and then setting them aside in their own box. Don’t mix the cards up into your trade collection; it’s too difficult to keep track of them if you do. Once everything is in order, I like to create a Google spreadsheet document. It’s accessible from any internet connection, has editing capabilities on the fly, you can share the link as read-only to let people browse at their own leisure, and it makes for easy importing into Excel if necessary. As you sell cards, you need to be absolutely diligent in making sure the list online matches what you have on hand. Once you start getting discrepancies, you begin agreeing to sell cards to people that you don’t actually have, and that is not something you want to be doing. Building a positive reputation is hugely important, as it enables people to feel comfortable sending you several hundred dollars at a time for cards that are sight unseen. For this reason, I would recommend picking one website with reference tracking and sticking with that until you build a solid reputation.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7044, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "d1cf91261e72b76800432c0338c7333c7596c7fe", "raw_chars": 2231, "clean_chars": 1978, "edit_ratio": 0.1385, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As with Jim Ammerman and James F.

Pinkel, who is currently undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, shared personal reflections on his career and his health.\n\nDuring the session, Pinkel shared several anecdotes and insights. He recalled how he instructed his student-athletes, in typical Pinkel fashion, to prioritize their academics: \"You better be in class.\" He also spoke about the support he received from former players, such as Jeremy Maclin, who visited him at a hotel in Kansas City before the Kansas City Chiefs flew to Denver. Maclin asked, \"Coach, are you OK?\" and embraced him, telling him he loved him.\n\nReflecting on his career, Pinkel mentioned his high school coach and Kent State coach Don James, noting, \"They pay these guys to coach football. Does life get better than that? I like kids and coaching; for me, I've never worked a day in my life.\" He emphasized the importance of his role beyond the field: \"The way we run our program, the things we do, I want to have an impact on their lives. That's real, real important.\"\n\nDespite his resignation, Pinkel stated, \"I don't think I'll ever quit coaching.\" He joked that he had been yelling at the TV during a recent Seahawks game, prompting his wife, Missy, to call him a \"couch coach\" and remark, \"She's going to have to put up with me now.\"\n\nOn his health, Pinkel explained that non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a condition you manage rather than cure. He acknowledged that others face more severe challenges: \"When you have something like this, you just start thinking about your time. I might live another 25 years, I just don't know what will happen. You re-evaluate your priorities.\" He described living \"PET scan to PET scan\" and noted that after his last scan on October 26, he discussed his situation with his family. He questioned whether the relentless demands of the job—working six or seven days a week for nine months out of the year—were the right way to spend his time. \"I decided at that time I'm going to embrace the healthy times and battle the tough times,\" he said.\n\nPinkel admitted he delayed telling his players about his resignation because he did not want to be a distraction. However, he received a call from his secretary on a Friday afternoon confirming the news was public. \"My players and coaches had to be the first to know,\" he said. \"It was about the last thing they wanted to hear, or I wanted to tell them.\"\n\nHe expressed his deep affection for the university: \"I love Mizzou. I've had coaching opportunities, but I felt we could achieve our goals here... We have our problems. We communicate, we talk, and the University of Missouri becomes better and better as we go.\"\n\nCiting Coach James, Pinkel said, \"Anything you do, your players will notice. Your leadership goal is very important. I took that very seriously.\" He took pride in how he handled player mistakes: \"I feel proud today we didn't keep players in even when they made mistakes. The learning experience for them is better than winning a football game.\"\n\nPinkel asked his coaching staff to remain at the Missouri Athletic Training Center to prepare for the upcoming game against Tennessee, praising their dedication. \"The good thing about me, I'm a great judge of people,\" he said. \"After that, I don't know if I have anything.\"\n\nEmotionally, Pinkel choked up when discussing his players. \"The toughest thing about this... is my players. I'm going to miss them. Being around them, scolding them when I have to, hugging them and touching them every day. I'm going to miss being around my players.\" He told them, \"I'm going to have your phone forever and you're going to have mine.

In a January 1997 talk that was videotaped and broadcast nationally over scores of radio and TV stations, and subsequently cited as evidence in a subsequent Pentagon review of Jim Ammerman's activities, the military chaplain endorser called for the execution of then-president Bill Clinton, for alleged treason.

With permission, I am reproducing that exchange here.\n\nThe Economist had asked me to comment on four research papers from the BEST project. Below is a selection of the correspondence we exchanged. Please note that my comments were written under time pressure and are unpolished.\n\nThe correspondence was addressed to Richard Muller, the BEST Scientific Director, and Charlotte Wickham, the BEST Statistical Scientist, with copies to James Astill and Elizabeth Muller. It was sent on October 17, 2011, with the subject line \"BEST papers.\" James Astill, the Energy & Environment Editor of The Economist, had asked Liz Muller if it would be acceptable to share the BEST papers with me, and she agreed. At that time, I had reviewed two of the papers: \"Decadal Variations in the Global Atmospheric Land Temperatures\" and \"Influence of Urban Heating on the Global Temperature Land Average Using Rural Sites Identified from MODIS Classifications.\"\n\nHere are my comments on those documents. In the first paper, various series are compared and analyzed. However, these series have sometimes been smoothed using a moving average. Smoothed time series cannot be used in most statistical analyses. For further commentary on this issue, which requires only a basic understanding of statistics, see the blog posts by statistician Matt Briggs titled \"Do not smooth times series, you hockey puck!\" and \"Do NOT smooth time series before computing forecast skill.\"\n\nBriggs writes: \"Unless the data is measured with error, you never, ever, for no reason, under no threat, SMOOTH the series! And if for some bizarre reason you do smooth it, you absolutely on pain of death do NOT use the smoothed series as input for other analyses! If the data is measured with error, you might attempt to model it (which means smooth it) in an attempt to estimate the measurement error, but even in these rare cases you have to have an outside (the learned word is 'exogenous') estimate of that error, that is, one not based on your current data. If, in a moment of insanity, you do smooth time series data and you do use it as input to other analyses, you dramatically increase the probability of fooling yourself! This is because smoothing induces spurious signals—signals that look real to other analytical methods.\"\n\nThis problem appears to invalidate much of the statistical analysis in the paper. There is another, larger issue with the papers. In statistical analysis, an inference is not drawn directly from data. Rather, a statistical model is fit to the data, and inferences are drawn from the model. We sometimes encounter statements such as \"the data are significantly increasing,\" but this is loose phrasing. Strictly speaking, data cannot be significantly increasing; only the trend in a statistical model can be. A statistical model should be plausible on both statistical and scientific grounds. Statistical grounds typically involve comparing the model with other plausible models or comparing the observed values with the corresponding values predicted from the model. Discussion of scientific grounds is largely omitted from statistics textbooks (because they are focused on teaching statistics), but it is nonetheless crucial that a model be scientifically plausible.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7046, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "c39babb6dc9d6d0c75be22bdcc778243ebf2f827", "raw_chars": 3469, "clean_chars": 4007, "edit_ratio": 0.6292, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Kat Gregg from Coventry works as an Administration Co-Ordinator.

The federal funds rate — that is, the interest rate targeted by the Fed that banks charge each other for loans — fell from 5.25 percent in July 2007 to 2 percent in May 2008. Non-economists might see this as a policy by the Fed of easy money. But in fact, policy was getting much tighter during that time. Rates did not fall because of anything the Fed did; indeed, the Fed did not inject any new money into the economy over that 10-month period. Rather, rates fell because the economy was weakening rapidly during the financial crisis. The Fed failed to cut its interest rate target fast enough to reflect this weakness, and hence we tipped into recession.\n\nThe last non-economist to serve as Fed chair was G. William Miller. His performance during the Carter administration was so poor that he was replaced after 17 months. Interestingly, his problems were quite similar to what we experienced during the financial crisis, but in the opposite direction. Miller thought that to fight the high inflation of the time it was enough to keep interest rates high. But rates were high. His replacement, Paul Volcker, had a much deeper understanding of monetary economics. He understood that the Fed needed to tighten the money supply to get inflation under control, even if that meant temporarily ignoring interest rates.\n\nAnother concern is that Powell believes the Fed should focus not just on macroeconomic stability, but should also try to prevent financial market excesses. As he said earlier this year: \"I would also agree that monetary policy may sometimes face tradeoffs between macroeconomic objectives and financial stability.\"\n\nMany economists are skeptical of this view — for good reason. In 1929, the Fed tightened policy to try to stop a stock market bubble, tipping the economy into the Great Depression. In the long run, a stable macroeconomic environment is most conducive to a stable financial system. Financial excesses are better addressed through regulation, not the blunt instrument of monetary policy.\n\nDespite these reservations, I expect Powell to do fine in the near future. He is a consensus decision-maker in the mold of Ben Bernanke and Yellen, not a more dictatorial type like Alan Greenspan and Volcker. Over the next few years, he is likely to continue Yellen's policy approach.\n\nThe real danger occurs at the extremes of high inflation or a deep recession.

Numerous reports from animal models and human studies indicate that eating during a time normally reserved for sleeping can result in weight gain and adverse metabolic health. Populations that are susceptible to pushing activities to a later clock hour, such as night or rotating shift workers, as well as adolescents and college-aged individuals, also have a higher incidence of weight gain and obesity. Therefore, understanding the interaction of the timing of dietary intake with an individual's circadian rhythms is important, particularly because using clock hour to document eating times may not be physiologically relevant due to individual differences in circadian timing relative to clock hour.\n\nIn this cross-sectional study, we characterized the eating patterns of college-aged individuals during a week of their regular daily activities by documenting the timing and content of their entire dietary intake with the use of a mobile phone application. The relation of these patterns was then quantified relative to circadian timing, habitual sleep timing and duration, and wakefulness behaviors.\n\nThe study utilized a protocol lasting approximately 30 days, during which participants maintained a time-stamped mobile phone picture food diary to monitor caloric intake. Raster plots from two representative participants illustrate the timing of caloric events relative to their dim-light melatonin onset (DLMO). One participant exhibited a large phase angle, representing a significant time difference between their caloric midpoint—the average time at which 50% of daily calories were consumed—and their DLMO timing. The other participant exhibited a small phase angle between these two events. The x-axis of these plots represents the time of day, while the y-axis represents the days into the protocol. Black bars indicate sleep episodes, and gray hatched bars represent an in-laboratory overnight stay used for recording the percentage of body fat and conducting a DLMO phase assessment under light conditions below 4 lux.

The seven-day monitoring period for meal timing and content began at least one week after the start of the protocol to ensure participants were familiar with other study procedures. Participants received detailed instructions on how to accurately identify their meals, take photographs that included an item of known size, such as a fork or pen, to provide a frame of reference for portion size estimation, and add detailed descriptions to help identify the correct nutrient content—for example, specifying the type of dressing on a salad, mayonnaise on a bun, or sugar in coffee. Immediately after a photograph was taken, the data became available to study staff via web access. Dietary and study staff followed up with participants within 24 hours of meal documentation if any clarification regarding meal composition was needed. If meals were not fully consumed, participants took a second photograph to show what remained.\n\nInpatient Study Procedures\n\nTo calculate circadian phase, participants were admitted to the Brigham and Women's Hospital Center for Clinical Investigation Intensive Physiologic Monitoring Unit for an overnight stay of approximately 16 hours. Participants arrived at the laboratory at approximately 14:00 and were admitted to a sound-attenuated, temperature-controlled suite with dim lighting conditions of less than 4 lux. The use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones, tablets, or computers, was prohibited due to the influence of artificial lighting on circadian outcomes. Beginning at 16:00, salivary melatonin samples were collected hourly until 07:00 the following morning. Participants were instructed to remain seated in a constant posture and to avoid eating or drinking for 20 minutes before saliva collection to limit any potential influences on salivary melatonin assessments. Between the hourly saliva collections, participants were allowed to be ambulatory, sleep in a seated position, or sit quietly. If participants were asleep, they were awakened by research staff to collect saliva.

The x-axis indicates the time of day, while the y-axis represents the days into the protocol. Black bars denote sleep episodes, and gray hatched bars indicate the in-laboratory overnight stay used to record body fat percentage and assess DLMO phase under light conditions of less than 4 lux. A black dotted box highlights the week during which caloric intake was monitored using a time-stamped mobile phone food diary, and open boxes mark caloric events, meaning any food or beverage consumption other than water. It is important to note that the in-laboratory assessment could occur either before or after the week of caloric monitoring, but it always took place within the approximately 30-day protocol period. A black arrow in the top and bottom panels indicates the timing of the caloric midpoint relative to the DLMO.\n\nThe bottom panels illustrate the relative timing of physiologic events for the two participants. A dotted line marks the timing of the DLMO, a gray shaded area denotes the phase angle, and a black shaded area represents the habitual sleep timing for each participant relative to the DLMO. DLMO stands for dim-light melatonin onset.\n\nMETHODS\n\nParticipants\n\nA total of 110 participants, including 64 males, were enrolled in a cross-sectional 30-day protocol designed to document sleep and circadian behaviors within their regular daily routines. The participants ranged in age from 18 to 22 years. The group consisted of mixed ethnicity, with 21.0% identifying as Hispanic, 76.0% as non-Hispanic, and 3.0% as unknown. Racial demographics included 1.0% American Indian, 30.9% Asian, 12.7% African American, 41.8% white, 10.0% reporting more than one race, and 3.6% not reported. Recruitment was conducted via email, paper flyers, and verbal communication. Exclusion criteria included the inability to wear actigraphy monitors, the inability to download the required phone application, and travel across more than one time zone within the three months before and during the protocol. No participants reported working night shifts during the study. All participants provided written informed consent, and the study procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Boards of Partners Health Care (#2012P001631) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (#1209005240).\n\nSleep and Wakefulness Actigraphy Monitoring\n\nOn the day before the approximately 30-day sleep-wake monitoring protocol began, participants met with study staff to learn about specific procedures, obtain study materials, and complete a series of questionnaires to determine their habitual sleep and wakefulness patterns. At the end of this meeting, participants were provided with a wrist actigraphy monitor (Motionlogger; Ambulatory Monitoring) and instructed to wear the device on their nondominant arm at all times throughout the protocol, except when the monitor might get wet or damaged. Participants also completed electronic sleep-wake and exercise diaries during the 30-day period. These diaries were emailed to the participants once each morning at 07:00 and once each evening at 20:00. Actigraphy monitors were downloaded and checked during weekly meetings, and electronic diaries were reviewed daily to ensure the completion and accuracy of sleep-wake timing data. Sleep timing and duration were manually scored from the actigraphy data and corroborated with the diary sleep-wake times.\n\nMeal Documentation", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7064, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ee4d2860de14fd19b82e82b2cccb40fb47fa8ffd", "raw_chars": 3374, "clean_chars": 3287, "edit_ratio": 0.7838, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When I began conducting classroom-based research involving computers in the late 1990s, the first step was bringing machines into the classroom. My adviser had secured a grant for six first-generation Bondi Blue iMacs to be installed at the middle school where we were conducting our research. As soon as we entered the school carrying those inviting, gumdrop-shaped machines, my worries about finding participants evaporated.\n\nComputers were still relatively uncommon in middle school classrooms at that time, and we were able to leverage their novelty to generate direct engagement with our educational intervention.\n\nToday, the landscape has shifted dramatically. Computers are far more prevalent, and students routinely carry mobile devices with computing power that far exceeds that of those first-generation iMacs. While there remains a subset of students, both adult and youth, who are sufficiently interested in computer science to sit in front of whatever device is available, the novelty and engagement of working on a computer are no longer enough to draw in kids who might otherwise pass by.\n\nIt is still possible to capture students' interest through engaging, device-based education, but now you must utilize the mobile devices that learners use every day. This is where App Inventor shines.\n\nApp Inventor is a programming framework for building Android applications using a visual blocks language, similar to Scratch or Snap. It was first prototyped by Hal Abelson and Mark Friedman while Hal was on sabbatical from MIT at Google. Since then, it has evolved from its original roots as a Java-based frontend to the USB debugger into a web-based platform using the Blockly library.\n\nApp Inventor makes it possible to quickly and easily dive into building mobile applications for phones and tablets. In the canonical introductory exercise, learners build a simple soundboard application: tap the picture of a cat, and the phone plays a \"meow\" sound. After constructing the framework, learners can replace the sound with whatever they choose, add extra buttons, and build a custom soundboard with any amusing sound effects they desire. As soon as their first app is built, learners tend to immediately show off their work to their peers, especially those not yet working on an App Inventor project, playing whatever humorous sounds they have recorded.\n\nIt is that phenomenon—where novice programmers immediately show off what they have built, a legitimate standalone application that can run on any Android device—that makes App Inventor such a compelling platform for teaching computer programming today. There may come a day when hand-built mobile applications go the way of the early iMac hockey puck mouse, but that day has not yet arrived.\n\nApp Inventor also encourages learners to adopt an event-driven approach to thinking about their programs. This model is highly useful for modern programming, considering how much work is done by modern programs inside an event dispatch loop. By skipping over the notion of a main() function that executes to completion, we can dive directly into asking questions like, \"What should happen when the user presses this button?\" This can be a very natural way to teach programming concepts, especially within a project-based approach.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7068, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b3243612edbf3d9af2642b6878d753a4d94ea46b", "raw_chars": 3171, "clean_chars": 2362, "edit_ratio": 0.1462, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The few times we have picked up visitors from the airport, I have felt the need to add a disclaimer as we headed out onto the main road back toward base.

It’s this grunt, made into a propensity for apex munching through superb suspension tuning and a limited-slip differential, that makes you want to drive less than responsibly, all the time. Mazda gets a demerit only for limiting the amount of turbo boost, and thus power produced, in first and second gears in an effort—thankfully failed—to disallow owners the joy of shredding front tires, however less pleasurable it is than shredding rear tires.\n\nThe 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7082, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "f758949aa92722cc03a862c00d2da2c56cd31f2b", "raw_chars": 3422, "clean_chars": 2971, "edit_ratio": 0.3906, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Few vehicles offer proof of complicity regarding the automotive and big oil cabal quite as well as the burnout machine that is the Dodge Charger SRT8.

While plants and seeds used to cultivate fruit were exempt, the fruit itself was not. Two years prior, the Tariff Act of 1870 had established a duty of 20% on oranges, lemons, pineapples, and grapes, and a duty of 10% on limes, bananas, mangoes, coconuts, and essentially every other fruit being imported to the United States at the time. Fruit was a major import item, and as such, its tariffs constituted a considerable portion of the federal budget.\n\nIn the 1872 revision, a comma was inserted between the words \"fruit\" and \"plants,\" giving fruit importers the means of evasion they had been looking for. The comma, intended to read \"fruit-plants\" with a hyphen rather than a comma, had devastating consequences, as recounted in an article from the 1930s. The preamble of the \"free\" list provided that all articles enumerated therein should be exempt from duty on and after August 1, 1872. Certain importers asserted that the word \"fruit\" in the free list of the Act of 1872 permitted the free entry of all tropical or semi-tropical fruits, and claims for refunds on duties paid abroad were filed on the shipments as they came in.\n\nInitially, the Secretary of the Treasury rejected these claims on the grounds that the grammatical error was clearly intended to read otherwise. Importers, unwilling to accept this, ignited a series of trials on the matter, and it soon became clear that the Secretary's excuse would not hold up in the courtroom. In December 1874, two years after the typo, the United States government declared that, under the phrasing of the act, fruits were free. Duties were subsequently refunded to the tune of $2 million.\n\nAt the time, this was no small sum. A loss of $2 million was nearly 1.3% of the government's total tariff income in 1875, which was $157.2 million, and 0.65% of that year's entire federal budget of $308 million.\n\nUnder the headline \"An Expensive Comma,\" notes from the Forty-Third Congress were published in an 1874 New York Times article. During the hearing, legislators fiercely bickered over proper grammar usage. \"The word fruit was used as a limitation, and not as a noun substantive!\" declared one Congressman. One Senator, John Sherman, a Republican from Ohio, was especially anxious to uncover the root cause of the improper comma and had \"hunted up all the papers relating to the subject.\"\n\n\"The error occurred by somebody adding 's' to the word 'fruit,' and then a comma,\" he stated. \"We do not know who did it, but the subject should be inquired into.\" Sherman, among other things, recalled a story in which a learned judge of the United States Supreme Court admitted to never regarding punctuation.\n\nEventually, after much debate, Congress concluded that there was no doubt the comma was placed there honestly, and the matter was dropped.

It has long been a running joke between us to wave hello to the lonely NSA agent in the basement listening in on our conversations. However, a new ABC report confirms what has long been suspected: it is no joke. NSA officials have intentionally intercepted, listened to, and passed around the phone calls of hundreds of innocent US citizens working overseas, including journalists and international aid workers from organizations such as the International Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. This occurred even when it was clear the calls were not related to national security, while the government misled the American public about the scope of its surveillance activities. Rather than listening for possible connections to suspected terrorists, it seems what really interests those NSA agents with headphones is… sex.\n\nAccording to Adrienne Kinne and David Murfee Faulk, two former military intercept operators who worked for years at the National Security Agency center in Fort Gordon, Georgia, intercept operators routinely listened in on hundreds of phone calls from American soldiers in Baghdad’s Green Zone as they spoke with their spouses, girlfriends, and family about personal, private matters. These calls involved Americans who were in no way associated with terrorism. Operators assigned to a special military program at the NSA's Back Hall at Fort Gordon would routinely share salacious recorded calls and gossip about them during breaks. They would say things like, \"Hey, check this out. There's good phone sex or some pillow talk. Pull up this call; it's really funny, go check it out.\" They would discuss a colonel making pillow talk, remarking, \"Wow, this was crazy.\"\n\nJames Bamford, who first interviewed the former intercept officers for his upcoming book, \"The Shadow Factory,\" stated, \"The American public is led to believe that the NSA is eavesdropping on calls where one party is a member of al Qaeda, but in reality the NSA is monitoring and collecting the personal communications of innocent Americans.\" He added, \"What's worse, once a telephone number or e-mail address gets picked up, it stays in the system. Every communication from the number or address is picked up, monitored, and stored permanently.\"\n\nThen-NSA director General Michael Hayden, now director of the CIA, testified before Congress denying that private conversations of Americans are being intercepted. When asked by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), \"Are you just doing this because you just want to pry into people's lives?\" Hayden answered, \"No, sir.\" However, a US intelligence official stated that \"all employees of the US government\" should expect that their telephone conversations could be monitored as part of an effort to safeguard security and \"information assurance.\"\n\nJonathon Turley, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University who has testified before Congress on the country's warrantless surveillance program, commented, \"They certainly didn't consent to having interceptions of their telephone sex conversations being passed around like some type of fraternity game.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7134, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "fd83c062eef2d346866eae95af24326d86ebc2a4", "raw_chars": 877, "clean_chars": 909, "edit_ratio": 0.8847, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Like many of you, I watched the season 5 finale, and it was amazing!\n\nAfter finishing it, I started thinking about a theory.

The discovery serves as a haunting reminder of the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco's greatest disaster.\n\nThe original City Hall collapsed in a shower of bricks, stone, and steel during the 1906 quake. At the time, it was the largest municipal building west of Chicago and was so elaborate that it took 25 years to construct. Although it was designed to be earthquake-proof, the building collapsed within seconds of the great quake striking, despite having been open for less than a decade.\n\nThe ruins were demolished in 1909, but on September 14, workers digging under the sidewalk on Hyde Street near Fulton Street for a landscaping project struck something substantial: bricks, concrete, and steel reinforcing bars. They contacted archaeologists from the federal General Services Administration (GSA), which owns the adjacent former federal building at 50 United Nations Plaza.\n\nAfter reviewing old maps and reports, the experts confirmed the discovery. \"We were surprised to see it,\" said Rebecca Karberg, a historic preservation specialist for the GSA. \"You really never know what's under the surface.\"\n\nThe wreckage of the old City Hall, featuring a grandiose dome 300 feet high held up by skeletal remains, became a famous symbol of the 1906 quake. The wrecked building was widely photographed, and the images were sold as postcards.\n\nThe cornerstone of City Hall was laid on Washington's Birthday in 1872, although site excavation had begun the year prior. The building was constructed on the site of the old Yerba Buena Cemetery, where perhaps as many as 9,000 San Franciscans were buried between 1850 and 1860. Karberg referred to these early residents as \"the original 49ers.\"\n\nThe site, located just off Market Street where the Main Library now stands, was sandy and wet in the winter, with an underground spring present. The original design called for a building shaped like the letter W, featuring columns and ornamental towers in the French Second Empire style.\n\nOver the years, the design was changed multiple times. The project suffered from significant cost overruns and various scandals. It took so long to build that it became a municipal joke, earning the nickname \"the new City Hall ruin.\"\n\nOnly a year after its 1897 opening, the building was damaged in a minor earthquake, an ominous sign.

Officer E.J. Plume was in the police station located in the City Hall basement. He heard the pillars holding up the cornices and the cupola \"go cracking with reports like cannon, then falling like thunder.\" The building \"seemed to be reeling like the cabin of a ship in a storm.\"\n\nThe officers ran out, but City Hall was otherwise unoccupied.

Each owed personal allegiance to the English king as a subject and was bound to support him in times of war, yet their lands were exempt from royal taxation. They possessed rights elsewhere reserved to the crown, such as the authority to create forests, markets, and boroughs. The lordships were geographically compact and jurisdictionally separate from one another, with privileges that differentiated them from English lordships. Marcher lords ruled their lands by their own law—sicut regale, or \"like unto a king,\" as Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester, stated—whereas in England, fief-holders were directly accountable to the king. The crown's powers in the Marches were normally limited to periods when the king held a lordship in his own hands, such as when it was forfeited for treason or upon the death of the lord without a legitimate heir, at which point the title reverted to the Crown in escheat.\n\nAt the top of a culturally diverse, intensely feudalized, and local society, the Marcher barons combined the authority of a feudal lord and a vassal of the king among their Norman followers, while supplanting the traditional tywysog among their conquered Welsh subjects. However, Welsh law was sometimes used in the Marches in preference to English law, leading to disputes over which legal code should govern particular cases.\n\nThe Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284 followed the conquest of the Principality by Edward I of England. It assumed the lands held by the Princes of Gwynedd under the title \"Prince of Wales\" as legally part of the Crown's lands and established shire counties on the English model over those areas. The Marcher Lords were progressively tied to the English kings through grants of lands and lordships in England, where control was stricter and where many marcher lords spent most of their time. This connection was further strengthened by the English kings' dynastic alliances with the great magnates. The Council of Wales and the Marches, administered from Ludlow Castle, was initially established in 1472 by Edward IV of England to govern the lands held under the Principality of Wales, which had become directly administered by the English crown following the Edwardian conquest of Wales in the 13th century.\n\nBy the 16th century, many marcher lordships had passed into the hands of the crown. This occurred due to the accessions of Henry IV, who was previously Duke of Lancaster, and Edward IV, the heir of the Earls of March; the attainder of other lords during the Wars of the Roses; and other events. The crown was also directly responsible for the government of the Principality of Wales, which had its own institutions and was, like England, divided into counties. The jurisdiction of the remaining marcher lords was therefore seen as an anomaly.

The Acts had the effect of annexing Wales to England and creating a single state and legal jurisdiction, commonly referred to as England and Wales. The powers of the marcher lordships were abolished, and their areas were organised into the new Welsh counties of Denbighshire, Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire, Brecknockshire, Monmouthshire, and Carmarthenshire. The counties of Pembrokeshire and Glamorgan were created by adding other districts to existing lordships. In place of assize courts of England, there were Courts of Great Sessions. These administered English law, in contrast with the marcher lordships, which had administered Welsh law for their Welsh subjects. Some lordships were added to adjoining English counties: Ludlow, Clun, Caus and part of Montgomery were incorporated into Shropshire; Wigmore, Huntington, Clifford and most of Ewyas were included in Herefordshire; and that part of Chepstow east of the River Wye was included in Gloucestershire.\n\nThe Council of Wales, based at Ludlow Castle, was reconstituted as the Council of Wales and the Marches, with statutory responsibilities for the whole of Wales together with, initially, Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. The City of Bristol was exempted in 1562, and Cheshire in 1569. The Council was eventually abolished in 1689, following the \"Glorious Revolution\" which overthrew James II (VII of Scotland) and established William III (William of Orange) as king.\n\nThere is no modern legal or official definition of the extent of the Welsh Marches.

Her perspective shifted dramatically when the legislator threw his weight behind a particularly contentious anti-abortion law. \"I realized that the party I was working for is evil,\" Katbi recalled. \"After that, I identified as a Democrat, but I wasn't really happy with their policies either.\"\n\nBack then, she could not fully articulate her reservations about President Barack Obama. There were concerns about drone strikes and the limitations of his healthcare reforms, but mostly it was a frustrating sense that he was serving the interests of a monied elite rather than her own. Consequently, in the 2012 presidential election, Katbi voted for Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate. However, that vote did not change the world.\n\nIt was only last year, when Bernie Sanders launched his campaign under the banner of democratic socialism, that everything began to fall into place. \"My politics were to the left of the Democratic Party, but I didn't realize there was an entire ideology, an entire movement that was there. It had never occurred to me,\" Katbi said. \"Bernie was my introduction to the concept of democratic socialism. It's not like I associated it with the Cold War. It was a new concept to me completely. That was the case for a lot of millennials, which is why the movement has grown so much.\"\n\nKatbi, who works at an organization helping to settle immigrants and refugees in Portland, Oregon, became \"socialist curious.\" She joined the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a rapidly growing big-tent movement that has drawn in former communists and energized millennials. The DSA is now the largest socialist organization in the United States, with surging membership that has quadrupled since the election to around 25,000, breathing new life into a once-dormant group. New branches have sprung up from Montana to Texas and New York. Earlier this month, hundreds of delegates gathered in Chicago for the only DSA convention in years to attract attention.\n\nPart of its membership leans toward Scandinavian-style social democracy, advocating for universal healthcare and robust welfare nets. Others embrace more traditional socialism centered on large-scale public ownership. However, the label has been adopted by other millennials who do not identify with any particular political institution. They approach it through protest movements such as Occupy and Black Lives Matter, fueled by frustration at the Democratic Party's failure to address the deepening disillusionment with capitalism, income inequality, and the corporate capture of the U.S. government.\n\nWith this shift has come debate not only about pay, housing, and proposals for universal basic income, but also a reappraisal of the role of government in people's lives, favoring greater state intervention.\n\nAccording to recent polling, a majority of American adults under the age of 30 now reject capitalism, although that does not translate into automatic support for socialism. For Katbi, though, the path is clear. Six months after the election, she is moving beyond Sanders. \"I really don't like saying that Bernie was my gateway to socialism, just because I feel like I'm more left than him now, and I also think there's a very bizarre cult of personality around Bernie,\" she said.\n\nWhen asked what socialism is, Katbi points to the campaign of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in this year's British election.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7170, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "f2a91359903947ec443f835380cd14c7fadcf6b9", "raw_chars": 3327, "clean_chars": 3526, "edit_ratio": 0.9699, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Piven argued that the two-party system stifles genuine debate on the issues that matter most to ordinary people. She noted that protest movements like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter, along with the Women’s March following Donald Trump’s inauguration and the mass demonstrations against the Muslim ban, have successfully forced these critical issues onto the political agenda.\n\nOne of the primary obstacles to expanding support for genuine socialism in America may not stem from specific policy proposals—though many remain skeptical of the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) suggestions to abolish police forces and prisons—but rather from public perceptions of who currently identifies as a socialist. Katbi sought to address this, stating, \"I want to dispel the reputation that socialism is just a bunch of white men talking about theory. People are hesitant to join because they assume it is a group of 'Bernie bros'—white men yelling about Marx. That is not the case.\"\n\nThe \"brocialist\" label has fueled efforts to promote greater diversity within the movement. Katbi explained, \"In the DSA, we have been very intentional about building a diverse movement. We focus on amplifying the voices of women, people of color, and those who have historically been oppressed. We keep this in mind in everything we do.\"\n\nThis focus has generated internal tensions regarding the balance between class and identity politics. Caleb noted, \"Every day, there are debates about what should be emphasized: Is it a class discussion, or is it an identity discussion?\"\n\nKatbi argued that characterizing millennials as overly focused on identity politics is unfair, especially given the Hillary Clinton campaign's assumption that young women like her would automatically vote for a female candidate who promised to break the glass ceiling. Instead, Katbi supported an older white male candidate based on his ideas.\n\nPiven drew lessons from the legacy of the civil rights movement, suggesting that while there has been some discrediting of the identity politics that have dominated the left in recent decades, these developments may have been necessary. She asked, \"How could there have been a Black civil rights movement without identity politics? Blacks were so disparaged and dehumanized by American political culture that a 'Black is beautiful' cultural, intellectual, and political current was essential. The same applies to the women’s movement. However, if we remain solely focused on identity politics, we cannot adequately address the class forces that produce the system of stratification and oppression in the United States.\"\n\nThis perspective highlights the challenge of winning over the large number of low-income working-class voters who supported Trump, a task complicated by the perception that the left is dominated by identity politics. Sawant emphasized, \"We will not be able to build a mass movement for social democratic reforms, let alone a fundamental shift toward socialism, if we do not create an opening for the many people who voted for Trump. It is extremely important for the left in America to build movements that accomplish a dual task: never compromising on the issue of oppression, while simultaneously reaching the vast majority of working people on a class basis.\"\n\nSawant is not alone in viewing healthcare as a potential entry point for this outreach.

And we thought, \"Well, we can do a rewrite on this, kind of gussy this up, get people we like in it, and sort of approach it through improv.\" And that's exactly what we did. Chris and I did a big rewrite on it, we got Neal Brennan, a director we really liked, in there, we cast people from our circle, and kind of approached it the same way we approach any of our movies, like \"Anchorman\": an ensemble, improv, absurdist comedy.

It was for the role that Kathryn Hahn ended up playing – Alice – and she just stuck with me. You always have that happen. Sometimes you’ll have roles where you have, like, three really good people, so I just made a mental note. “That girl’s really good.” She just kind of went for it, and she’s obviously really beautiful and very cool. I just was a fan of hers. So when Neal was looking to cast that role, I sent over the audition tape from “Step Brothers,” and right away he was, like, “Wow, she is good.” So that’s kind of how that happened.\n\nBE: How did you go about casting the role of Stu Harding?\n\nAM: That was Neal Brennan, one hundred percent. He said, “I’m thinking of casting Alan Thicke.” And I sort of went, “Huh.” And he said, “Trust me. It’s gonna be good.” And the second we screened the movie, the crowd responded. I was, like, “Thank God you cast Alan Thicke.” He also turned out to be funny and a great guy, so that was a minor genius move on Neal Brennan’s part.\n\nBE: Did anyone ask James Brolin for Streisand stories, or were they too scared?\n\nAM: I don’t know.

That’s what you’re always looking to see. You want to see the skill level, you want to see someone open to play and not necessarily be stuck on the words, who can play it a little loose and get the vibe. And part of all that is getting the joke. If someone doesn’t, you can generally tell right away. Occasionally you’ll get a character actor or a type who’s just so good that you go, “Screw it, I’m gonna put him in here and just feed him lines.” But even then, they’ve at least got to be open to being fed those lines. But, y’know, I don’t think we’ve ever really had that happen. Everyone we’ve cast tends to get the joke and is down with it. So we’ve been really lucky in that sense.\n\n“I’m a producer on ('Eastbound and Down'), and I’ve directed episodes, and I’m obviously involved with notes and whatever, but I honestly just watch that show as a fan.

Founded in 2011, the NBL began when three teams from the Premier Basketball League joined with four new franchises to form the league's \"Original Seven.\" By 2017, the league had expanded to ten teams, with six located in the Atlantic provinces and four in Ontario. The London Lightning are the current champions, having defeated the Halifax Hurricanes 4–3 in the 2017 NBL Finals. The league's season runs from November to April of the following year.\n\nIn mid-2011, discussions began regarding a domestic basketball minor league in Canada. The Halifax Rainmen, Quebec Kebs, and Saint John Mill Rats, three franchises from the Premier Basketball League (PBL), were the first to join the NBL Canada. These teams had become dissatisfied with the officiating in the PBL. On May 12, 2011, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, league CEO Andre Levingston held a press conference to announce the creation of the NBL Canada. By the end of the summer, the London Lightning, Moncton Miracles, Oshawa Power, and Summerside Storm were established and announced their intention to join the league. There were also unsuccessful attempts to establish teams in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and Kingston, Ontario.\n\nThe Halifax Rainmen chose to participate in the NBL Canada due to the perceived poor quality of the PBL. In June 2011, the league finalized the rules for its inaugural season. The league would consist of seven teams, with four qualifying for the playoffs and no divisions. It would follow FIBA rules, and each team would play 36 regular-season games. Team rosters could include 10 to 12 players, at least two of whom had to be Canadian, and the salary cap was set at $150,000 Canadian. Players could potentially earn $70,000 in a single season, and each game was expected to draw an average of 3,000 fans, varying by location. Levingston envisioned the NBL Canada as a more stable alternative to other North American minor basketball leagues, allowing players to live close to home while playing professionally.\n\nThe NBL Canada held its first draft on August 21, 2011, at the Rogers Centre. The Oshawa Power selected Morgan Lewis from the University of Findlay with the first overall pick. Jerome Brown, selected fifth overall by the Saint John Mill Rats, was the first Canadian chosen in the draft. The event was viewed by more than 6,000 people online from 93 different countries. Additionally, 180 players from across the world attended the preceding NBL Canada combine.\n\nYannick Anzuluni, a Canadian player, became the first to sign with the NBL Canada, joining the Quebec Kebs on a three-year contract on August 17, 2011. On October 29, during the first game of the inaugural 2011–12 season, the Quebec Kebs defeated the Moncton Miracles at the Colisée de Laval. Within a week, every team in the league had played at least one game. The opening season attracted marquee players such as Gabe Freeman, Anthony Anderson, and Lawrence Wright. Amid the 2011 NBA lockout, six players with past experience in the National Basketball Association (NBA), including Eddie Robinson and Rodney Buford, joined the NBL Canada.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7202, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c54e2997f248eb012df81621811ba7f2429477ca", "raw_chars": 3419, "clean_chars": 3414, "edit_ratio": 0.0098, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?\" – Edgar Allan Poe\n\n\"I love sleep.

This is a spell to ensure you dream of the love object of your choice, and is the most popular variant of the traditional Dreaming True spell.\n\nIf this seems weak in comparison to the physical act of love, consider this: it is an entirely guilt-free method of safe sex, with no difficult conversations or trips to the STD clinic the next morning.

It's a very useful discipline to master, especially if you suffer from nightmares or sleep paralysis.\n\nStart training yourself by keeping a dream journal. Fill it in immediately when you awake. The process of recalling and writing down your dreams will help you achieve self-awareness of your dream life, and connect you more firmly to the dream state.\n\nIn waking life, occasionally pause to ask yourself, \"Is this a dream? Am I awake now?\" and test yourself by looking at a clock or reading a phrase of text, looking away, then looking back. Is it the same time? Does it say the same thing? If you are dreaming, the time or text will usually have changed. Pinch yourself. Can you feel it? Look at yourself in a mirror. Do you look as you expect? Look at your hands. Are they your hands?\n\nBy doing this enough in waking life that it becomes habitual, it will start to become easier to test yourself in your dreams by the same methods. If you can get to the point where you realize that you are dreaming, you will, with practice, be able to direct your dreams in any way you choose.\n\nAs you lay down to sleep, repeat silently to yourself a mantra that will encourage you to lucid dream.

He stated, \"We're very clear that we're not going to allow a car to be used as a weapon.\"\n\nIt took less than 36 hours for another driver, Austin Dillon, to test that boundary. During Saturday's Xfinity race, Cole Custer attempted to create space on the track and inadvertently collected Dillon, a contender for the race win, in a wreck. After driving away from the initial incident, Dillon slowed his damaged car on the track, waiting for Custer, whose vehicle sustained far less damage, to come around. Dillon then deliberately slammed into Custer's car to express his displeasure.\n\nNASCAR \"parked\" Dillon at the time, directing his car to proceed immediately to the garage, but this penalty carried virtually no consequences. Dillon's car was likely beyond repair anyway, and even if it had been fixed, the only thing he was running for in the Xfinity race was the victory, which became impossible after the initial incident.\n\nGiven O'Donnell's words on Friday, many assumed that the penalty report later in the week would include more significant consequences for Dillon. Instead, on Wednesday, NASCAR handed out severe penalties to the teams of Brad Keselowski for a failing post-race rear wheel steer and Kevin Harvick for an unapproved track bar assembly. But for the driver who used his car as a weapon? Nothing. Silence.\n\nOnce again, we see words with no meaning. If Dillon's car was not used as a weapon, what was its purpose in the retaliation incident? Was he merely trying to adjust the paint job on Custer's No. 00 car? Add another dent to match one from the earlier incident? Or was it some new method of on-track celebration? Yes, Dillon was parked after the incident, but it was a punishment with no real effect.\n\nI do not know what NASCAR officials said to Dillon that day or on any other day, although I am certain they have had plenty of conversations. However, the public is not privy to those private words. Fans and the media only get to see the public reaction, and that is the only basis we have to judge whether the decrees and edicts from NASCAR officials have any real, practical effect. Once again, it appears NASCAR does not mean what it says.\n\nI understand the desire to treat each incident as separate and unconnected by the prejudice and passions that may unintentionally arise from other similar incidents. But by choosing that path, NASCAR also opens the door to complaints of favoritism, doling out punishments based on who is involved rather than what they did.

U.S. officials stated that the CIA is seeking authority to expand its covert drone campaign in Yemen by launching strikes against terrorism suspects even when the identities of those who could be killed are unknown. Securing permission to use these \"signature strikes\" would allow the agency to hit targets based solely on intelligence indicating patterns of suspicious behavior, such as imagery showing militants gathering at known al-Qaeda compounds or unloading explosives.\n\nThe brutality of \"signature strikes\" is not new for CIA leadership. As the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism has reliably reported, \"signature strikes\" have regularly targeted funeral ceremonies in Pakistan. The amorality of these U.S. actions is chilling. An alleged militant is killed by a U.S. drone. Then, when his family and friends try to come to mourn him, the U.S. attacks the gathering from the sky, on the grounds that attending an al-Qaida funeral is evidence of hostile intentions toward the United States. In one such attack reported by the New York Times in June 2009, 60 people were killed. Local press accounts of the incident, cited by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, put the death toll at 83, 45 of whom were non-combatants. It is said that 10 were children.\n\nThe Washington Post story indicates that the efficacy and wisdom of such tactics are now being debated in the White House. President Obama has defended the drone war on the grounds of its specificity. \"Drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties,\" he told a questioner at an online forum. \"This is a targeted, focused effort at people who are on a list of active terrorists trying to go in and harm Americans.\"\n\nIt seems Petraeus and his allies in the current inter-agency debate do not want to be constrained by a list. They calculate that if the U.S. slaughters a particular crowd of people at an al-Qaida funeral, they are sure to kill men plotting to attack the United States. The logic, if not the morality, is persuasive: If you kill the certainly innocent, you will also get some of the presumably guilty.\n\nThis is also the logic of terrorism, which is one reason why the defenders of \"signature strikes\" prefer that their names not be published in the Washington Post.\n\nU.S. officials said the agency killed more senior al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan with signature strikes than with those in which it had identified and located someone on its kill list.\n\nWhy these \"U.S. officials,\" who may include Petraeus, approved of the illegal leaking of this classified information to the Post is inevitably hazy in a story dependent on anonymous sources. It appears Petraeus is trying to overcome the reluctance of the Obama White House to expand the use of signature attacks. It may be that White House officials are trying to shed public light on the CIA practices to better resist their use in Yemen.\n\nA senior administration official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations, declined to talk about what he described as U.S. \"tactics\" in Yemen, but he said that \"there is still a very firm emphasis on being surgical and targeting only those who have a direct interest in attacking the United States.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7228, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "91fb690d82bd9985434340fd914b0c99e7347476", "raw_chars": 3379, "clean_chars": 3337, "edit_ratio": 0.3511, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Democratic legislators, progressive advocacy groups, and the established media are singing in harmony: President Donald Trump’s list of pro-American immigration reform priorities is an illegitimate \"poison pill\" created by White House adviser Stephen Miller, who is eager to sabotage a bipartisan, popular, and noble welcome for a modest number of child \"Dreamers.\"\n\nThe tone was set by top Democratic leaders, who issued a statement placing the interests of illegal immigrants ahead of Americans and rejecting the legitimacy of Trump’s call for Congress to implement his election-winning immigration platform.

The newspaper reported that the White House demanded that lawmakers harden the border against thousands of children fleeing violence in Central America before President Trump would agree to any deal with Democrats that allows the young undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers to stay in the United States legally. The New York Times also targeted Miller, stating that the proposals amount to a wish list for immigration hard-liners inside the White House, including Stephen Miller, the president’s top policy adviser, who has long advocated extremely aggressive efforts to prevent illegal entry into the country and crack down on undocumented immigrants already here.

Members of Congress of both parties who want to resolve the status of undocumented immigrant youth should recognize that these policies are a non-starter and get back to work on behalf of the vast majority of Americans who want to get something constructive done instead.\n\nThe focus on Miller shifts the debate away from the public’s support for Trump’s 2016 campaign, and it also gives a helping hand to the business-first, cheap-lobby faction which dominates Trump’s economic team.

Universities employ roughly 100,000 foreign guest workers.\n\nThat Washington-imposed economic policy of mass immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least five million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7244, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "4fae3e68e6fdae8fa515a3a82a55559c3814b897", "raw_chars": 2146, "clean_chars": 2168, "edit_ratio": 0.5554, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Hoping to disrupt counterfeiters, the US Treasury has launched a seemingly endless string of currency redesigns, adding both public and private features to make the bills increasingly difficult to copy.

We think that our $75 million is the better part of what has entered the US.\"\n\nCriminals suggested that Escalante was unreasonably optimistic and the actual production of counterfeit dollars was far higher. In a clandestine meeting with the Guardian in a seedy hotel room in Lima, a veteran counterfeiter with over 20 years in the business detailed how his gang alone was producing an average of $3 million to $5 million in fake $100 bills every week.\n\n\"To make these bills, you need 10 to 12 people,\" said Geraldo Chavez (not his real name), the counterfeiter. \"One runs the machine, there is a designer, you have someone in charge of the supplies – the paper, the inks – you need someone to cut the bills, someone outside watching. The packer. At a minimum eight people, but usually eight to 12 people for the production to come out right.\"\n\nAsked how long it takes to fill an order for $5 million, Chavez replied: \"About a week. You make the design, then organize the paper and then start printing – pa! pa! pa!\" He circled his hands in rotation, as he simulated the factory with six offset printing machines simultaneously pumping out money. \"You have to work late in the night; the machines really make a lot of noise. That's why they are up in the hills, in prefabricated houses, away from people.\"\n\nWorkers are paid to thread security strips by hand into each bill. By soaking the bill, then inserting a needle, the counterfeiters add a final touch to make the fake bills appear authentic.\n\nChavez said the typical customer bought between $10,000 and $15,000, for which the buyer paid 20% of face value if they were a repeat customer or 25% if they were a newbie. \"Once, we printed an order for $5 million in fake bills for some Mexicans,\" said Chavez.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7250, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "54d92ac7d373d61b59f090192de10abbb107de15", "raw_chars": 2506, "clean_chars": 1479, "edit_ratio": 0.8218, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The F.lux Windows app has received a significant update for Windows 7 and Windows 8, introducing several new features.

The VSD is a collaborative effort between the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office and nine MCOs, established in 1990 to monitor immunization safety and address gaps in scientific knowledge regarding rare and serious events that can occur after immunization. The VSD utilizes a large linked database that draws on administrative data sources at each MCO. Data are gathered on vaccinations (including vaccine type, date of vaccination, and concurrent vaccinations), medical outcomes (such as outpatient, inpatient, and urgent care visits), birth data, and census data. Consequently, because of the detailed records maintained by these MCOs, investigators using VSD data are able to develop a detailed and accurate estimate of vaccine exposure from the computerized databases maintained by the MCOs, as well as from the medical records of the cases and controls. These records are supplemented by standardized interviews with the parents. In addition, outcomes have been measured in clinical settings using standardized assessment tools. In Price et al, the most up-to-date standardized assessment tools used to diagnose autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) were used to identify cases, and the same methodology applies to DeStefano et al. Furthermore, to ensure that the control group did not include children with undiagnosed ASD—which would tend to decrease any apparent differences between the groups—the lifetime form of the Social Communication Questionnaire was administered to controls as part of the interview with each mother for children who showed indications of any neurodevelopmental difficulties. Several children were excluded from the control group in this manner. Finally, the detailed medical records and databases maintained by the MCOs allowed for the detailed determination and control of many potential confounders.\n\nAnother major strength of DeStefano et al is how the investigators chose to compare vaccine exposures. Essentially, they estimated total antigen exposure rather than simply counting the number of vaccines. They also examined total antigen exposures from vaccines administered at single visits as well as cumulative antigen exposure. Specifically, the researchers evaluated antigen exposure for three age ranges according to two measures: cumulative exposure to antigens within the specified age range and the maximum number of antigens received in a single day within the specified age range. Data were collected on a large number of covariates, including child and family characteristics, maternal exposures during pregnancy, childbirth conditions, early childhood health conditions, and maternal healthcare-seeking behavior (such as the Kotelchuck prenatal care index, cholesterol levels, and Pap smear screenings).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7255, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "f229a93bd8befceb1e9053baf382b5faeba12270", "raw_chars": 2206, "clean_chars": 2481, "edit_ratio": 0.9458, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Red Hat has debuted a new community project called Project Atomic, designed to develop technologies for creating lightweight Linux container hosts. This initiative will enable the creation of a new variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, as part of the RHEL 7 release. RHEL 7 abstracts and isolates applications by deploying them in containers using the RHEL Atomic Host. The platform features strong integration with Docker, allowing applications to be packaged in isolated containers. These RHEL 7 containers prevent applications from competing for resources or conflicting over dependencies, such as specific versions of Java. The application environment includes only the operating system components it needs, enabling it to run consistently across bare metal, virtualized servers, and both private and public cloud infrastructures. Northbound and southbound APIs allow the operating system to interact with host infrastructure and applications while providing security and management services. According to Stevens, data centers can virtualize the operating system and run applications in containers atop the virtualization layer to improve standardization in typical mixed data center environments.\n\nAttendees at the Red Hat Summit held this week needed time to digest this Linux container methodology. During the RHEL roadmap session, the majority of attendees indicated that they either saw Linux containers being meaningfully adopted in their infrastructure at least a year away, or could not envision a use case for them. \"Containers have been around for some time,\" noted Sander van Vugt, a Linux consultant and trainer who writes for SearchDataCenter. He found the emphasis on containers as a major new feature in RHEL 7 surprising at first sight. However, he added, \"Considering that in RHEL 7 containers are combined with Docker, systemd, and cgroups, it is a big step forward for easy deployment of applications\" on cloud platforms or straight RHEL systems.\n\nRed Hat plans to update RHEL Atomic Host alongside Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat OpenStack to ensure application consistency across all hosting infrastructures. Project Atomic will feed into the development of RHEL Atomic Host. The RHEL 7 release candidate version went live that week, with a final release expected sometime thereafter.

The area in the river's delta was sparsely populated and swampy, characterized by numerous islands and channels. The first city structure, the Peter and Paul Fortress, was established by Peter I on Zayachy Island. During its construction, the number of islands was reduced by two-thirds, and many channels were filled in.\n\nToday, St. Petersburg remains partially situated on islands, which cover approximately 80 square kilometers, or 6% of the city's total area. More than 700,000 people reside on these islands. One hundred and fifty years ago, there were over 100 islands in St. Petersburg, but determining the exact number today is difficult. Commonly cited figures mention about 33 islands, along with the Kronstadt Archipelago in the Gulf of Finland, while others suggest there are 42. Most of these islands are located in the western and northwestern parts of the city. Vasilyevsky Island is the most significant, and together with Dekabristov Island, it comprises the entire Vasileostrovsky administrative district.\n\nOther major islands in the city include Kotlin, which hosts Kronstadt, as well as Bezymianny, Petrogradsky, and Aptekarsky. The infrastructure on these islands is highly developed, with Gutuevsky Island occupied by the St. Petersburg Seaport. Krestovsky, Elagin, and Kamenny Islands are almost entirely dedicated to the leisure of tourists and citizens, a feature that is quite uncommon in other Russian cities. Krestovsky Island is a popular destination for outdoor activities and extreme sports. Elagin Island caters to culture lovers and those who prefer relaxing walks, while Petrovsky Island is known for its sports facilities, including the city's main Petrovsky Stadium, the Yubileyny Sports Palace, and water sports venues. Even the Summer Garden (Letny Sad) is situated on an island.\n\nMany of St. Petersburg's islands face the Baltic Sea to the west. Consequently, a walk through a park can suddenly lead to an island beach, a pier, or a river taxi boarding point. Tourists should be aware that they might get stranded on an island overnight due to the opening of drawbridges. The drawbridge schedule changes annually, so it is advisable to print it out and carry it during evening walks to avoid being trapped on an island at 2 a.m.\n\nThe islands, the abundance of water, access to the sea, and strong western winds have created a unique portrait of St. Petersburg: a cold, sometimes dreary, but undeniably romantic city. The unhealthy wet climate and difficult natural conditions have long been part of local legends and have inspired numerous literary and musical works. Like no other Russian city, St. Petersburg has produced world-renowned geniuses in music, painting, and literature. Authors frequently chose the city as the setting for their novels and glorified it in their poems. Everything new in art emerges on the banks of the cold Neva River, while the treasures of the past are safely preserved in the city's museums.\n\nKey statistics about the city's water features include: inland waters occupy about 10% of the city; there are 40 rivers and streams with a total length of 217.5 kilometers; the city has more than 580 bridges, including 20 drawbridges (7 across the Neva); the length of the Neva River within the city is 32 kilometers; and there have been 288 recorded floods over 300 years, with a maximum water level of 4.2 meters.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7286, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ef0503515aac3e4b69fda1145ef7f663726a020f", "raw_chars": 1916, "clean_chars": 2002, "edit_ratio": 0.7846, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On Tuesday, Senator Kirsten E.

The Justice Roopanwal report dedicates four pages to dismantling the claim that he was Dalit, detailing how his mother, Radhika Vemula, who is a Backward Class by birth and marriage, acquired a Dalit caste certificate. This finding undermines the rhetoric of opposition parties, which had heavily criticized the BJP as an anti-Dalit party for allegedly pushing a young Dalit research scholar to his death.\n\nThe report is undoubtedly welcome news for the right-wing ABVP, whose skirmish with the Ambedkar Students' Association in August 2015 over a prayer meeting for Yakub Memon was widely presumed to have set off a chain of events culminating in Vemula's suicide. However, the report now suggests that none of the incidents at HCU, including his expulsion from the hostel, contributed to his death. According to the Roopanwal report, it was loneliness and frustration that led Vemula to take his own life.\n\nNevertheless, it is unfortunate that Justice Roopanwal did not consult psychologists or psychiatrists to determine whether a major upheaval in the preceding months played a part in pushing a vulnerable individual toward suicide. The commission dismisses the university's punishment as a factor, noting that the penalty was pending in court and therefore could not be the reason for Vemula's suicide. Instead, for reasons left unexplained, the judge concludes that Vemula was \"an unappreciated man\" since childhood and points out that he did not blame anyone in his suicide note.\n\nIt is surprising how the judge brushes aside the stinging letter Vemula wrote to the vice-chancellor on December 18, 2016. In the letter, he sarcastically suggested that a rope be supplied to the rooms of all Dalit students and asked for 10 mg of sodium azide to be served to them at the time of admission. He also requested that the vice-chancellor, whom he addressed as \"your highness,\" make preparations for euthanasia for students like him. \"And I wish you and the campus rest in peace forever,\" he wrote in a letter with the subject line \"Solution for Dalit Problem.\"\n\nIf this is not the cry of a man fixated on death, what else could it be? Justice Roopanwal argues that Vemula committed suicide a month after writing the note, and therefore it should not be considered relevant. But since when does killing oneself become as mechanical as pushing an elevator button—write a letter, press zero, and go down?\n\nThe second obvious point is that, regardless of the reality of his caste, Rohith was raised by his single mother as a Dalit, and this upbringing shaped his outlook.

If the project proves successful, the Finnish Reindeer Herders Association hopes the app will be available for download on all smartphones later in 2016.\n\nAnne Ollila, director of the Finnish Reindeer Herders' Association, explained that previous methods were ineffective. \"Drivers often mistook reindeer with reflectors for people in the dark, thinking they wouldn't run into the middle of the road when they saw car headlights approaching,\" she told The Associated Press. \"And the deer would tear the reflectors off.\"\n\nOther measures also faced challenges. Reindeer traffic warning signs were frequently stolen by tourists as souvenirs, and the reindeer themselves would scrape the fluorescent paint off their antlers. \"Somehow the reindeer know they had paint on their antlers — maybe their friends laughed at them,\" Ollila remarked.

The MIT Radiation Laboratory, established secretly at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1940 to research radar, produced much of the theoretical knowledge necessary to use microwaves. By 1943, 10-centimeter (3 GHz) radar was in use on British and American warplanes. The first microwave relay systems were developed by the Allied military near the end of the war and used for secure battlefield communication networks in the European theater.\n\nAfter World War II, microwaves were rapidly exploited commercially. Due to their high frequency, they had a very large information-carrying capacity, or bandwidth; a single microwave beam could carry tens of thousands of phone calls. In the 1950s and 1960s, transcontinental microwave relay networks were built in the US and Europe to exchange telephone calls between cities and distribute television programs. In the new television broadcasting industry, from the 1940s microwave dishes were used to transmit backhaul video feeds from mobile production trucks back to the studio, allowing the first remote TV broadcasts. The first communications satellites were launched in the 1960s, which relayed telephone calls and television between widely separated points on Earth using microwave beams. In 1964, Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson, while investigating noise in a satellite horn antenna at Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, discovered cosmic microwave background radiation.\n\nMicrowave radar became the central technology used in air traffic control, maritime navigation, anti-aircraft defense, ballistic missile detection, and later many other uses.

The system transmitted telephony, telegraph, and facsimile data over bidirectional 1.7 GHz beams with a power of one-half watt, produced by miniature Barkhausen-Kurz tubes at the focus of 10-foot (3 m) metal dishes. Around the same time, an experimental 700 MHz transmitter at Westinghouse labs in 1932 successfully transmitted voice over a mile.\n\nA new term was needed to distinguish these shorter wavelengths, which had previously been lumped into the \"short wave\" band, meaning all waves shorter than 200 meters. The terms \"quasi-optical waves\" and \"ultrashort waves\" were used briefly but did not catch on. The first usage of the word \"microwave\" apparently occurred in 1931.\n\nThe development of radar, mainly in secrecy before and during World War II, resulted in the technological advances that made microwaves practical. Radar antennas small enough to fit on aircraft, which had a narrow enough beamwidth to localize enemy aircraft, required wavelengths in the centimeter range. It was found that conventional transmission lines used to carry radio waves had excessive power losses at microwave frequencies. Consequently, George Southworth at Bell Labs and Wilmer Barrow at MIT independently invented the waveguide in 1936. Barrow invented the horn antenna in 1938 as a means to efficiently radiate microwaves into or out of a waveguide.\n\nIn a microwave receiver, a nonlinear component was needed that would act as a detector and mixer at these frequencies, as vacuum tubes had too much capacitance. To fill this need, researchers resurrected an obsolete technology, the point contact crystal detector (cat whisker detector), which had been used as a demodulator in crystal radios around the turn of the century before vacuum tube receivers. The low capacitance of semiconductor junctions allowed them to function at microwave frequencies. The first modern silicon and germanium diodes were developed as microwave detectors in the 1930s, and the principles of semiconductor physics learned during their development led to semiconductor electronics after the war.\n\nDuring this period, Southworth demonstrated waveguides at an IRE meeting in 1938, showing 1.5 GHz microwaves passing through a 7.5 m flexible metal hose and registering on a diode detector. The first modern horn antenna was also introduced in 1938, with inventor Wilmer L. Barrow. Later, the AN/APS-4 10 GHz air intercept radar was used on US and British warplanes in World War II.

In 1888, German physicist Heinrich Hertz became the first to demonstrate the existence of radio waves using a primitive spark gap transmitter. Hertz and other early radio researchers were interested in exploring the similarities between radio waves and light waves to test Maxwell's theory. They focused on producing short-wavelength radio waves in the UHF and microwave ranges, allowing them to duplicate classic optics experiments. Using quasioptical components such as prisms and lenses made of paraffin, sulfur, and pitch, as well as wire diffraction gratings, they refracted and diffracted radio waves much like light rays. Hertz produced waves up to 450 MHz; his directional 450 MHz transmitter consisted of a 26 cm brass rod dipole antenna with a spark gap between the ends, suspended at the focal line of a parabolic antenna made from a curved zinc sheet and powered by high-voltage pulses from an induction coil. His historic experiments demonstrated that radio waves, like light, exhibited refraction, diffraction, polarization, interference, and standing waves, proving that both were forms of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves.\n\nIn 1894, Oliver Lodge and Augusto Righi generated 1.5 GHz and 12 GHz microwaves, respectively, using small metal ball spark resonators. That same year, Indian physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose became the first person to produce millimeter waves, generating 60 GHz (5 millimeter) microwaves using a 3 mm metal ball spark oscillator. Bose also invented waveguides and horn antennas for use in his experiments. In 1895, Russian physicist Pyotr Lebedev generated 50 GHz millimeter waves. In 1897, Lord Rayleigh solved the mathematical boundary-value problem of electromagnetic waves propagating through conducting tubes and dielectric rods of arbitrary shape, which provided the modes and cutoff frequencies for microwaves propagating through a waveguide.\n\nHowever, because microwaves were limited to line-of-sight paths, they could not communicate beyond the visual horizon. Additionally, the low power of the spark transmitters then in use limited their practical range to a few miles. The subsequent development of radio communication after 1896 employed lower frequencies, which could travel beyond the horizon as ground waves and by reflecting off the ionosphere as skywaves, and microwave frequencies were not further explored at that time.\n\nFirst Microwave Communication Experiments\n\nPractical use of microwave frequencies did not occur until the 1940s and 1950s due to a lack of adequate sources. The triode vacuum tube electronic oscillator used in radio transmitters could not produce frequencies above a few hundred megahertz due to excessive electron transit time and interelectrode capacitance. By the 1930s, the first low-power microwave vacuum tubes had been developed using new principles, specifically the Barkhausen-Kurz tube and the split-anode magnetron. These devices could generate a few watts of power at frequencies up to a few gigahertz and were used in the first experiments in communication with microwaves.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7336, "chunk_idx": 12, "raw_sha1": "cd34f0155605665416540fa958dc32e7c70d3286", "raw_chars": 2867, "clean_chars": 2880, "edit_ratio": 0.0715, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Prior to the 1970s, microwave devices and circuits were bulky and expensive, so microwave frequencies were generally limited to the output stage of transmitters and the RF front end of receivers. Signals were typically heterodyned to a lower intermediate frequency for processing. The period from the 1970s to the present has seen the development of tiny, inexpensive active solid-state microwave components that can be mounted on circuit boards. This advancement allows circuits to perform significant signal processing at microwave frequencies, making possible satellite television, cable television, GPS devices, and modern wireless devices such as smartphones, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, which connect to networks using microwaves.\n\nMicrostrip, a type of transmission line usable at microwave frequencies, was invented alongside printed circuits in the 1950s. The ability to cheaply fabricate a wide range of shapes on printed circuit boards allowed microstrip versions of capacitors, inductors, resonant stubs, splitters, directional couplers, diplexers, filters, and antennas to be made. This capability allowed compact microwave circuits to be constructed.\n\nTransistors that operated at microwave frequencies were developed in the 1970s. The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has a much higher electron mobility than silicon, so devices fabricated with this material can operate at four times the frequency of similar silicon devices. Beginning in the 1970s, GaAs was used to make the first microwave transistors, and it has dominated microwave semiconductors ever since. MESFETs (metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors), which are fast GaAs field-effect transistors using Schottky junctions for the gate, were developed starting in 1968. They have reached cutoff frequencies of 100 GHz and are now the most widely used active microwave devices. Another family of transistors with a higher frequency limit is the HEMT (high electron mobility transistor), a field-effect transistor made with two different semiconductors, AlGaAs and GaAs, using heterojunction technology, as well as the similar HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor).\n\nGaAs can be made semi-insulating, allowing it to be used as a substrate on which circuits containing passive components as well as transistors can be fabricated by lithography. By 1976, this led to the first integrated circuits (ICs) which functioned at microwave frequencies, called monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). The word \"monolithic\" was added to distinguish these from microstrip PCB circuits, which were called \"microwave integrated circuits\" (MICs). Since then, silicon MMICs have also been developed.

White men often go through life with a tailwind, while women and people of color must push against a headwind.\n\nWhile we do not notice systematic unfairness, we do observe specific efforts to redress it, such as affirmative action, which often strikes white men as profoundly unjust. Thus, a majority of white Americans surveyed in a 2011 study said that there is now more racism against whites than against blacks.\n\nNone of these examples mean exactly that society is full of hard-core racists and misogynists. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, a Duke University sociologist, aptly calls the present situation racism without racists; it could equally be called misogyny without misogynists. Of course, there are die-hard racists and misogynists out there, but the bigger problem seems to be well-meaning people who believe in equal rights yet make decisions that inadvertently transmit both racism and sexism.\n\nSo, come on, white men! Let us just acknowledge that we are all flawed, biased, and sometimes irrational, and that we can do more to resist unconscious bias. That means trying not to hire people just because they look like us, avoiding telling a young girl she is beautiful while her brother is smart. It means acknowledging systematic bias as a step toward correcting it.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7348, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "20490a9d3d7ff3e70874602a47029895f97c439e", "raw_chars": 3382, "clean_chars": 3461, "edit_ratio": 0.393, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "John Campbell has said his final goodbye to viewers, marking the end of his ten-year tenure at TV3. From financial struggles to the culling of current affairs programs, TV3 has faced a challenging period in recent years. This overview looks back at the network's highs and lows.\n\nMediaworks recently dumped the TV3 current affairs show 3D, and leaked documents revealed significant cuts and changes at the station. In the realm of reality television, however, TV3 has proven to be a dominant force. Shows like The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars have pulled in huge numbers of viewers. In fact, TV3's focus on reality TV has been credited with helping to minimize an across-the-board ratings slide that has hit TV2 especially hard.\n\nOn its finale night in May, The Bachelor scored a stunning result, with 429,540 viewers tuning in to watch star Art Green make Matilda the happiest woman in Auckland. At the same time, TVNZ's My Kitchen Rules slumped to its worst rating of the season, with only 269,310 viewers. The Bachelor has proven to be a gift that keeps giving: it is returning for a second season, with single women now being sought for their one true televised shot at love. Meanwhile, Art and Matilda have marked more than six months together with a public display of modern romance by creating a joint Facebook page. Mediaworks compiled all the highs and lows into a \"Top Ten Moments of The Bachelor\" feature.\n\nHowever, it wasn't all good news in the world of reality television. X-Factor was dropped for 2016 after a poor finale, and Masterchef NZ will not make a comeback after failing to pull in the same numbers for TV3 as it had in the past for TVNZ. Instead, Kiwis will get a local version of the game show Family Feud, in which two families compete to guess the most popular answers to questions. The show will be fronted by comedian Dai Henwood.\n\nMediaWorks bosses were stunned by Natalia Kills' savage rant at a contestant on X-Factor. While reality television had a mixed run in 2015, the real world of current affairs has had it even tougher over recent years. Back in 2010, TV3's decision to axe the morning TV show Sunrise and bring in Firstline, hosted by Rachel Smalley, was seen as a vote of confidence for hard news.\n\nThe winds of change blew again in 2013, when Nightline was killed off in favor of a late-night show hosted by shock jock Paul Henry. Henry was later shuffled into Firstline's time slot as TV3 and RadioLIVE merged their breakfast broadcasts. 3D's Paula Penfold has just had her current affairs show canned. She is pictured with her husband Mike McRoberts.\n\nAt last, in 2013, there was good news again: a new show called 3rd Degree, hosted by 3News and TVNZ's former political editors Duncan Garner and Guyon Espiner, promised hard-hitting, in-depth reports in a prime-time slot. The show's interviews, including one with Tania Billingsley, and a series of stories helped wrongfully convicted man Teina Pora clear his name.\n\nThings were on the up and up after TVNZ cancelled Close Up and brought in the lighter Seven Sharp, giving Campbell Live its first ever win in the ratings war. TV3 3 News presenter Hilary Barry breaks down after a story about outgoing colleague John Campbell. But things were not to be: the arrival of Mike Hosking on TV One turned the ratings on their head.

He must serve 17 years before becoming eligible for parole.\n\nDotro's attorney, Robert Norton, said that while he and his client were not happy with the results of the plea agreement, it ends a four-and-a-half-year battle involving multiple charges and allegations. \"It was a global resolution of all charges,\" Norton said.\n\nDotro also pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree official misconduct as part of the trial in which he and his wife are accused of slashing the tires on a woman's car and illegally checking police records for a suspect, according to authorities.\n\nThe couple, whose trial had opening statements scheduled for Tuesday, was accused of threatening the woman who worked in the police department and had an affair with Dotro.\n\nThe charges against his wife, Alycia, are still pending, the prosecutor's office said. Her attorney, Richard Incremona, did not return calls for comment.\n\nThe accusations of misconduct against Dotro, which included buying marijuana while in uniform -- allegedly for his wife -- and possessing the drug, came to light in the months after the arson charges as the prosecutor's office probed the officer's history in the department.\n\nHe was also charged with possessing illegal weapons as an officer, including a blackjack and brass knuckles. All of those charges will be dismissed as part of the plea.\n\nIn addition, Dotro admitted to trying to intimidate a witness scheduled to testify at his trial, the prosecutor's office said. Authorities charged Dotro with third-degree conspiracy to tamper with a witness on Thursday, two days after jury selection started in the misconduct trial.\n\nHe was jailed since Friday on the charges.\n\nThe plea deal also dismisses charges in connection to an additional alleged arson plot in which the officer is accused of working with a fellow cop to burn down another supervisor's house. The plot never materialized, but authorities said they found evidence of the plan last November.\n\nDotro will be sentenced on December 7 in New Brunswick by Superior Court Judge Pedro Jimenez.\n\nEarlier this year, Dotro pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, admitting he sought to get payback against a North Brunswick officer who had ticketed his family member for drunk driving, authorities said.\n\nThree other Edison cops admitted to their roles in the plot as part of the plea deal, which required all the officers to resign in September.\n\nCraig McCarthy may be reached at CMcCarthy@njadvancemedia.com.

She also reveres Stevie Nicks and Bette Midler. Regarding Nicks, she admits, \"I can't find the words to describe how much I love her.\" As for Midler, she says, \"I've obviously loved her for years.

But scientists and engineers are already looking ahead to 2020 and the launch of a new rover, Mars 2020. This week, scientists narrowed down its possible landing zones to three different sites on the red planet.\n\nMars 2020’s main objective is to seek out signs of life and environments that could have once been habitable, writes Elizabeth Howell at Seeker. Since traveling over Mars’s sometimes rugged terrain is slow going for a rover, its landing spot is key.\n\nThe first selection, Jezero Crater, is the most popular scientific target, reports Paul Voosen at Science Magazine. An ancient river delta is visible from orbit, and the area contains the remnants of lakes, which could contain traces of life long gone.\n\nNortheast Syrtis, the second candidate, is the site of an ancient volcano. As Sarah Lewin at Space.com reports, the warmth provided by the volcano could have fostered hot springs and melted ice. These warm little puddles would have been a great spot for ancient microbial life to flourish.\n\nThe final selection came as something of a surprise. Rather than picking a new destination, scientists chose Columbia Hills. In 2004, the Mars Spirit Rover landed at Gusev crater at Columbia Hills and discovered that ancient hot springs once flowed at the site, reports Avery Thompson at Popular Mechanics. Scientists are excited about the opportunity to return to Gusev crater with Mars 2020’s updated tools. Howell reports that an advantage to Columbia Hills is that Spirit has already mapped much of the terrain.\n\nOne of Mars 2020’s main goals is creating a cache of soil and rock samples. In the future, NASA may launch a robotic mission to collect these samples and bring them back to Earth for extended analysis. Mars 2020 will have the ability to measure the chemical composition and organic content of soils and rock. But bringing samples back to Earth would allow researchers to study the rocks in much greater detail. We’re still running tests on moon rocks retrieved from the lunar missions of the 1960s and 1970s; a Mars sample in Earth laboratories would be invaluable.\n\nThe design of Mars 2020 is based on Curiosity, which has been operating on Mars since 2012. Researchers have improved each component, and Mars 2020 will have some additional tools that Curiosity does not, including an experiment to use Mars’s atmosphere to produce oxygen, Howell writes.

This would mark a departure from the company’s traditional approach of producing locally across regions.\n\n\"3M can certainly bring in a lot more investment, as investment conditions continue to improve such as GST, corporate tax… We can also consider India as an export base in addition to our domestic presence. If you look at the cooperation coming through the ASEAN and other free trade initiatives of India, a lot of good things can happen,\" Shin said.\n\n\"We believe in regional self-sufficiency rather than using a single country as a hub. For us, exports are an exception rather than the norm. So if you ask me which is the designated strategic export country, there’s none,\" Shin told ET at the end of a three-day visit to India during which he sensed a stark difference in the body language of people and the confidence in its economy compared to his previous visit in 2013.\n\nShin stressed that the reality he has seen ‘coincides’ with what he had read about India’s recent resurgence on the global economic arena before his visit.\n\n\"We have been making in India for 28 years, with an India for India strategy.

It should. It is a page right out of the 2007 scene where the Danish Mr. Schlüter talked about the copyright lobby's policymaking strategy of associating non-monopolistic distribution of culture with the rape of small defenseless children.\n\nThis association strategy has now worked in the United States, too.\n\nJust when you think the copyright lobby can't sink any lower, they surprise you again. And it gets worse. Much worse.\n\nIn Europe, the copyright lobby is now pushing Commissioner Malmström to create a similar censorship regime, despite clear setbacks from the European Court of Justice defending human rights and freedom to communicate.\n\nBut taking one step back, would censorship of child pornography be acceptable in the first place? Is the copyright industry perhaps justified in this particular pursuit, beyond their real goal of blocking non-monopolistic distribution?\n\nThere are two layers of answers to that. The first is the principal one, whether pre-trial censorship is ever correct. History tells us that it plainly isn't, not under any circumstance.\n\nBut more emotionally, we turn to a German group named Mogis. It is a support group for adult people who were abused as children, and is the only one of its kind. They are very outspoken and adamant on the issue of censoring child pornography.\n\nCensorship hides the problem and causes more children to be abused, they say. Don't close your eyes, but see reality and act on it. As hard as it is to force oneself to be confronted emotionally with this statement, it is rationally understandable that a problem can't be addressed by hiding it. One of their slogans is \"Crimes should be punished and not hidden\".\n\nThis puts the copyright industry's efforts in perspective. In this context they don't care in the slightest about children, only about their control over distribution channels. If you ever thought you knew cynical, this takes it to a whole new level.\n\nThe conclusion is as unpleasant as it is inevitable. The copyright industry lobby is actively trying to hide egregious crimes against children, obviously not because they care about the children, but because the resulting censorship mechanism can be a benefit to their business if they manage to broaden the censorship in the next stage. All this in defense of their lucrative monopoly that starves the public of culture.\n\nIt's hard to comprehend that there are people who are so shameless that they would actually do this. But there are. Every time you think the copyright lobby has sunk as morally low as is humanly possible, they prove you wrong.\n\n— — —\n\nRick Falkvinge is a regular columnist on TorrentFreak, sharing his thoughts every other week.

Here, however, we're getting hit by wave after wave of heat, and September doesn't mean much beyond more weekend hours spent indoors watching football. To help you beat the heat and kick your gamedays up a notch, we're prepared to share with you our latest discovery: beer popsicles.\n\nIf you ever turned juice into popsicles as a kid, you can probably imagine how to make beersicles. If you happen to have one of the plastic trays with deep wells and sticks to hold your popsicles, perfect. Just pour the beer in and stick it in the freezer. If you don't have a popsicle mold, a plastic cup with a spoon or stick in it will surely do just fine. You can cut a hole in a paper plate or use plastic to keep your stick upright in the freezer. But, really, why don't you have a popsicle mold? Where's your sense of fun and whimsy?\n\nAs for which beers to use, the possibilities are endless, though not every beersicle is created equal. We made several unfortunate choices before finding our groove. Let us first and foremost caution you against beers with too much alcohol, or beers that are overly bitter, because those flavors seem to be magnified by the freezing. Our first attempt was a mistake on both counts. We hoped the combination of pine flavor and roasted malt in Stone's 15th Anniversary Imperial Black IPA would make for a tasty frozen treat, but it turned out extremely harsh, with both the bitterness and alcohol even more pronounced than they are in the liquid version. Similarly, The Bruery's Marrón Acidifié, a quite sour Oud Bruin-style beer, sounded refreshing in frozen form, but again turned out extremely harsh and unpleasant. Bud Light, mostly a gag beersicle, was predictably gross. The freezing made it taste stale and even worse than its liquid counterpart.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7405, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "6bf83366f4be8c71a2f63c4f1fb470c9759baf63", "raw_chars": 3250, "clean_chars": 3041, "edit_ratio": 0.7066, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "If you are interested in demoing a game, please fill out the provided form.

The sharing economy, often referred to as online peer-to-peer platforms, has turned companies like Airbnb and Uber into household names as people seek cheaper and more convenient accommodation and travel options.\n\nResearch released by the Grattan Institute on Wednesday calculated that ride-sharing businesses such as Uber can reduce Australians' taxi bills by at least $500 million annually, while providing flexible work for drivers. Other activities within this economy will generate work and income for thousands of people, and operations like Airbnb put thousands of underused homes to work.\n\n\"It will increase output and income because any time you make the market economy more efficient you boost output,\" the institute's Jim Minifie told the Australian Associated Press. As more people find work through online service platforms, it will increase taxable income, as well as government tax revenue. Unlike the black economy, where cash-in-hand transactions are the norm, transactions in online services are usually conducted electronically, giving the Australian Taxation Office high visibility.\n\nHowever, Dr. Minifie does not believe that increased personal tax receipts will offset a subsequent decline in GST and corporate tax revenue as the sharing economy expands. While small operators might displace the business of traditional larger firms, they will likely fall below the GST registration threshold of $75,000, with the exception of car-sharing services, which, like taxi drivers, pay GST on the first dollar earned. Currently, the ATO treats accommodation booked through Airbnb as residential rent rather than a hotel stay, which does attract GST.\n\nNevertheless, anyone who rents out a room in their main residence would be liable for capital gains tax when they sell the property.

Users could be nudged away from smoking and towards vaping, as we have done with tobacco.

This inch-long fish uses suckers in its mouth and belly to move up steep cliffs in its rugged Hawaiian habitat. Because its freshwater habitat is easily disturbed by events like big storms, the fish often crawl up waterfalls to return upstream. But how this odd creature evolved to trek vertical distances of up to a hundred feet was unknown, said Richard Blob, an evolutionary biologist at Clemson University.\n\nNow, a new paper by Blob and colleagues in the journal PLOS ONE shows that the fish uses the same movements to climb as it does to eat algae. Before Blob and his student team could study the fish, however, they had to catch one. That proved a bit tricky. For instance, a goby would watch as a wetsuited scientist, struggling against the current, inched closer—and then would scoot away. \"You don't want to attach too much personality to these animals,\" but they almost had a mocking expression, Blob said with a laugh.\n\nWhen enough fish were eventually caught, they were taken to a field laboratory in Hawaii. There the scientists filmed them feeding on algae-covered glass and, stimulated by falling water, climbing. \"They'd climb up a garden hose if you gave it to them,\" Blob quipped. By watching videos of both behaviors, the team concluded that the fish uses the same overall movements. For instance, the angle and distance at which the front part of the upper jaw protrudes are nearly identical during both behaviors.\n\nThis suggests that, at some point in its evolution, the Nopili rock-climbing goby repurposed one behavior for another—a known evolutionary phenomenon known as exaptation, in which a species will \"take a structure or behavior and co-opt to do something totally different.\" The classic example of exaptation is bird feathers, said Blob, \"which may have evolved as an insulation structure before they were co-opted, or exapted, with some evolutionary changes for use in flight.\"\n\nThough it's still unknown which behavior came first, the end result is a perfectly adapted fish.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7413, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "9f37eb77fbe9b37ea442f1acfc70b842507c12ad", "raw_chars": 3481, "clean_chars": 3267, "edit_ratio": 0.3142, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Dolmabahçe is the largest palace in Turkey.

The palace layout and décor reflect the increasing influence of European styles and standards on Ottoman culture and art during the Tanzimat period. The exterior, particularly the view from the Bosporus, displays a classical European two-wing arrangement divided by a large central avant-corps with two side avant-corps.\n\nFunctionally, however, the palace retains elements of traditional Ottoman palace life and features of traditional Turkish homes. It is strictly separated structurally into a southern wing, known as the Mabeyn-i Hümâyûn or Selamlık, which houses the quarters reserved for men and the public representation rooms, and a northern wing, the Harem-i Hümâyûn, serving as the private residential area for the Sultan and his family. These two functional areas are separated by the grand Ceremonial Hall (Muayede Salonu), which has a floor area of 2,000 square meters (22,000 square feet) and a dome rising 36 meters (118 feet) high. Because the harem had to be completely isolated from the outside world, the main entrance for visitors is located on the narrow southern side. There, the representation rooms are arranged for receptions of visitors and foreign diplomats. The harem area includes eight interconnected apartments for the Sultan's wives, favorites, concubines, and his mother, each with its own bathroom.\n\nWhereas the Topkapı Palace features exquisite examples of Iznik tiles and Ottoman carving, Dolmabahçe is extensively decorated with gold and crystal. Fourteen tonnes of gold were used to gild the ceilings. The world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier hangs in the Ceremonial Hall. Although the chandelier was long assumed to be a gift from Queen Victoria, a receipt found in 2006 showed that it was paid for in full. It has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tonnes. Dolmabahçe houses the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world. The famous Crystal Staircase is shaped like a double horseshoe and is built of Baccarat crystal, brass, and mahogany.\n\nExpensive stones such as Marmara (Proconnesian) marble, Egyptian alabaster (calcite, also known as onyx-marble), and porphyry from Pergamon were used for the decoration.

Ed White would serve as Senior Pilot and Roger Chaffee was named Pilot. Jim McDivitt, David Scott, and Russell Schweickart were assigned as backups.\n\nBy the time Gus was freed up from his duties on Project Gemini to jump on board the Apollo program, the spacecraft and its systems were well advanced in terms of production and testing. Unlike Gemini, Grissom and his crew inherited a spacecraft that had been designed for them, but not with them. Although they did not have a hand in the basic design process, Grissom and his crew were able to exert some influence on Spacecraft 012, which was scheduled for an October 1966 launch. \"He and Ed White and Roger Chaffee, along with their supporting staff of engineers and technicians, participated directly in the progressive design and manufacturing reviews and inspections as Spacecraft 012 neared completion. Some of the things Gus saw he did not like.\" As the pressure mounted and dissatisfaction grew, Grissom, for the first time, began to bring his work problems home. \"When he was home he normally did not want to be with the space program. He would rather be just messing around with the kids. But now he was uptight about it.\" The arrival of Spacecraft 012 to the Cape only brought more problems. It soon became obvious that many designated engineering changes were incomplete. The environmental control unit leaked like a sieve and needed to be removed from the module. As a result, the launch schedule was delayed by several weeks. The Apollo simulator which was used for training purposes had its own set of problems and was not in any better shape than the actual spacecraft itself. According to Astronaut Walter Cunningham, \"We knew that the spacecraft was, you know, in poor shape relative to what it ought to be. We felt like we could fly it, but let's face it, it just wasn't as good as it should have been for the job of flying the first manned Apollo mission.\" Nonetheless, the crew made do with what they had and by mid January of 1967, preparations were being made for the final preflight tests of Spacecraft 012.\n\nOn January 22, 1967, Grissom made a brief stop at home before returning to the Cape. A citrus tree grew in their backyard with lemons on it as big as grapefruits. Gus yanked the largest lemon he could find off of the tree. Betty had no idea what he was up to and asked what he planned to do with the lemon. \" 'I'm going to hang it on that spacecraft,' Gus said grimly and kissed her goodbye.\" Betty knew that Gus would be unable to return home before the crew conducted the plugs out test on January 27, 1967.

Although the Chaplin estate sued entities like Otrona for using the trademark without permission, PC Magazine's April 1983 issue alone featured 12 advertisements that referred to the Little Tramp.\n\nPerhaps one of the most unusual decisions for IBM was to publish the PC's technical specifications, allowing outsiders to create products for it. The company stated, \"We encourage third-party suppliers ... we are delighted to have them.\" Although the team began managing its own business operations on prototypes before the PC's debut, IBM did not sell internally developed PC software until April 1984, instead relying on already established software companies. The company contacted Microsoft even before the official approval of the project, and it and others received cooperation that one writer described as \"unheard of\" for IBM. Such openness surprised observers; BYTE called it \"striking\" and \"startling,\" and one developer reported that \"it's a very different IBM.\" Another developer noted, \"They were very open and helpful about giving us all the technical information we needed.

Older programs will not take advantage of newer higher-resolution and higher-color display standards, while some newer programs require newer display adapters. (Note that as the display adapter was an adapter card in all of these IBM models, newer display hardware could easily be, and often was, retrofitted to older models.) A few programs, typically very early ones, are written for and require a specific version of the IBM PC BIOS ROM. Most notably, BASICA which was dependent on the BIOS ROM had a sister program called GW-BASIC which supported more functions, was 100% backwards compatible and could run independently from the BIOS ROM.\n\nThe CGA video card, with a suitable modulator, could use an NTSC television set or an RGBi monitor for display; IBM's RGBi monitor was their display model 5153. The other option that was offered by IBM was an MDA and their monochrome display model 5151. It was possible to install both an MDA and a CGA card and use both monitors concurrently if supported by the application program. For example, AutoCAD, Lotus 1-2-3 and others allowed use of a CGA Monitor for graphics and a separate monochrome monitor for text menus. Some model 5150 PCs with CGA monitors and a printer port also included the MDA adapter by default, because IBM provided the MDA port and printer port on the same adapter card; it was in fact an MDA/printer port combo card.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7442, "chunk_idx": 12, "raw_sha1": "706bb248d86ad65a3f3fd9b1d6eb8e84b1c2d784", "raw_chars": 3236, "clean_chars": 3211, "edit_ratio": 0.0585, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "By that time, Apple had become less welcoming of the rival that inCider magazine had described as having a \"godlike\" reputation. Its focus on the Apple III had delayed improvements to the Apple II, and the sophisticated Lisa was unsuccessful in part because, unlike the Apple II and the IBM PC, Apple discouraged third-party developers. The head of a retail chain remarked, \"It appears that IBM had a better understanding of why the Apple II was successful than had Apple.\" Steve Jobs, after attempting to recruit John Akers to become Apple's president, admitted that in two years IBM had joined Apple as \"the industry's two strongest competitors.\" He warned in a speech before previewing the forthcoming \"1984\" Super Bowl commercial: \"It appears IBM wants it all ... Will Big Blue dominate the entire computer industry? The entire information age? Was George Orwell right about 1984?\"\n\nIBM had $4 billion in annual PC revenue by 1984, more than twice that of Apple and as much as the combined sales of Apple, Commodore, HP, and Sperry, accounting for 6% of its total revenue. A Fortune survey found that 56% of American companies with personal computers used IBM PCs, compared to Apple's 16%. A 1983 study of corporate customers similarly found that two-thirds of large customers standardizing on one computer chose the PC, compared to 9% for Apple. IBM's own documentation described the PC as inferior to competitors' less-expensive products, but the company generally did not compete on price; rather, the study found that customers preferred \"IBM's hegemony\" because of its support. Most companies with mainframes used their PCs with the larger computers, which likely benefited IBM's mainframe sales and discouraged their purchasing non-IBM hardware.\n\nIn 1984, IBM introduced the PC/AT, which was unlike its predecessor and was the most sophisticated personal computer from any major company. By 1985, the PC family had more than doubled Future Computing's 1986 revenue estimate, with more than 12,000 applications and 4,500 dealers and distributors worldwide. The PC was similarly dominant in Europe, two years after its release there. In his 1985 obituary, The New York Times wrote that Estridge had led the \"extraordinarily successful entry of the International Business Machines Corporation into the personal computer field.\" The Entry Systems Division had 10,000 employees and by itself would have been the world's third-largest computer company behind IBM and DEC, with more revenue than IBM's minicomputer business despite its much later start. IBM was the only major company with significant minicomputer and microcomputer businesses, in part because rivals like DEC and Wang did not adjust to the retail market.\n\nRumors of \"lookalike,\" compatible computers, created without IBM's approval, began almost immediately after the IBM PC's release. Other manufacturers soon reverse engineered the BIOS to produce their own non-infringing functional copies. Columbia Data Products introduced the first IBM-PC compatible computer in June 1982. In November 1982, Compaq Computer Corporation announced the Compaq Portable, the first portable IBM PC compatible. The first models were shipped in January 1983.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7442, "chunk_idx": 9, "raw_sha1": "7fb0d5bb72866da90856dd90c03dea966241e7c5", "raw_chars": 3429, "clean_chars": 3402, "edit_ratio": 0.069, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Competitors were more skeptical. Adam Osborne remarked that buying a computer from IBM meant purchasing components à la carte, and by the time a system could perform meaningful tasks, it would cost more than an Apple. He stated, \"I don't think Apple has anything to worry about.\" Apple's Mike Markkula agreed that IBM's product was more expensive than the Apple II and claimed that the Apple III offered better performance. He denied that the IBM PC offered more memory, stating that his company could provide more than 128K but adding, \"frankly we don't know what anyone would do with that memory.\"\n\nAt Tandy, John Roach said, \"I don't think it's that significant.\" Jon Shirley admitted that IBM had a \"legendary service reputation\" but claimed that Radio Shack's thousands of stores \"can provide better service,\" while predicting that the IBM PC's \"major market will be IBM addicts.\" Another executive claimed that Tandy could undersell a $3,000 IBM computer by $1,000. Many criticized the PC's design as not innovative and outdated, and believed that its alleged weaknesses, such as the use of single-sided, single-density disks with less storage than the computer's RAM, existed because the company was uncertain about the market and was experimenting before releasing a better computer. Later, Estridge boasted, \"Many ... said that there was nothing technologically new in this machine. That was the best news we could have had; we actually had done what we had set out to do.\"\n\nRivals such as Apple, Tandy, and Commodore, together with more than 50% of the personal-computer market, had many advantages. While IBM began with one microcomputer, little available hardware or software, and a couple of hundred dealers, Radio Shack had 14 million customers and 8,000 stores—more than McDonald's—that only sold its broad range of computers and accessories. Apple had five times as many dealers in the US as IBM, an established international distribution network, and an installed base of more than 250,000 customers. Hundreds of independent developers produced software and peripherals for both companies' computers; at least ten Apple databases and ten word processors were available, while the PC had no databases and one word processor. The computer had very limited graphics capability, and customers who wanted both color and high-quality text had to purchase two graphics cards and two monitors.\n\nSteve Jobs at Apple ordered a team to examine an IBM PC. After finding it unimpressive—Chris Espinosa called the computer \"a half-assed, hackneyed attempt\"—the company confidently purchased a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal with the headline \"Welcome, IBM. Seriously\". Microsoft head Bill Gates was at Apple headquarters the day of IBM's announcement and later said, \"They didn't seem to care. It took them a full year to realize what had happened.\"\n\nThe IBM PC was immediately successful. The PC was small, light weight, and easy to use. Because it was advertised as a personal computer for anyone and not just large corporations, and because it was small and could fit easily into people's homes, it became a device of popular choice for many people. It didn't hurt that IBM also advertised it with the lovable Charlie Chaplin's tramp character, who after seeing the computer, falls in love with it and purchases the PC.

Every single day, I have to choicefully decide that hope is the direction I want to go in. We all have bad days, and we all have really rough spots. We meet unfortunate people. The things we’re hoping for, if they’re something that’s truly important to us, there’s no reason we can’t keep hoping. A setback, a stumbling block, or being forced to take a step back doesn’t mean that it’s failure; it just means that we sometimes have to realign with the direction we’re going in. Hope is not merely one of those principles that is forward-thinking alone. I challenge people to think that hope is right now. Journaling is a great way to do that. When you journal, you can look back and have a better perspective on your world and see hope in individual, everyday moments.\n\nWhat was the book publishing process like?\n\nFor any aspiring author, I would give you two pieces of advice. One is, be patient with yourself. There is always something you didn’t realize that you didn’t know. Two, I did a lot of front-end research with other indie authors and just talked to people in the publishing world in general. Twenty years ago, writers would submit huge manuscripts, pray that a publisher would look at them, and cross their fingers. Today, just like we have open source code, we have all this content that’s coming from people. Everyone has a right to publishing.\n\nWhat challenges did you face as a self-published author?\n\nThe challenges I faced were really understanding how many rounds of review you have to go through, especially when you have twenty contributors who all have very different character traits. That’s a lot of coffee, that’s a lot of meetups, that’s a lot of review, and that’s a lot of prayers and understanding. In the creative space in general, there are a multitude of online publishing tools and virtual proofs. There are very few things in this world that are quite as impactful to an author as getting something in the mail where you see your book for the very first time. If I could still do cartwheels at my age, I would do them, but you have to be willing to know it’s not going to be perfect the first time. Marketing is a whole other avenue that takes a lot of spirit and determination.\n\nWhat are your goals with the book?\n\nThis book was not a mission of fame or a monetary exercise. I’m nowhere near making money on this book at this point, which is just fine. It’s really an opportunity to spark people and inspire them to hopefully be present and compassionate. It’s available online worldwide now, but I want to physically get it into bookstores and start donating it to hospices and shelters. Another adventure for an author is to see your book in five or six different formats, such as Kindle Fire — it almost has a whole different landscape. I hope to some day have it translated to different languages.\n\nThere’s a lot of white space in the book.

You can embody hope in the things you do. Some of the things I mention in my book focus on word choice. Using words that support and uplift can be incredibly powerful in our lexicon. We often choose to put people down out of fear, frustration, and misunderstanding. Just switching a few key words, such as changing \"I can't\" and \"I hate\" to \"I love\" and \"I appreciate,\" can open an entire door.\n\nYou cannot have a feeling of negativity if you are holding a feeling of gratitude in your mind at that moment; they do not coexist. I think if you are having a hard time and hope just doesn't seem to be connecting with you in that moment, you should start writing down what it actually means to you. We do not often think of hope as a tangible part of our lives, but it is. Hope can be as simple as saying, \"I hope I have a great haircut,\" \"I hope the sun shines today,\" or \"I hope this first date goes really well.\" Hope can start as small as that, and it is like any muscle. When we find a way to bring it into our lives on a day-to-day basis, we start living it.\n\nFor those who are having an especially hard time, reaching out to others, finding out what they are hoping for, and talking about fears and moving past things that hold us back from being hopeful is incredibly important. If you are holding woe, worry, fear, grief, frustration, and bitterness in your circle of hope, you are not leaving room for the things that might actually propel you to that next step of happiness.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with being content. I tell people all the time that happiness is a mood or feeling that ebbs and flows in life, but be content with the moment and really be present with what you are experiencing, since that is the only moment that you are sure to have.\n\nWhat are three of your biggest hopes?\n\nMy constant hope is that my family and friends stay healthy. I hope people will choose to love themselves more. Really loving and knowing yourself is the greatest of all blessings. People cannot put you down or take things away from you, and moreover, you can have such an amazing glow that people will connect with and want to be around. A general hope is that the world remembers the word \"unity.\" We get into an us-versus-them mentality that is very caustic. We are allowing it to corrode who we are, and instead of saying, \"They are different, and I want them to live by my rules,\" I would much rather that people band together and think of ways they are similar and how they can help each other.

But each time, either Greek or Canadian officials abruptly halted the efforts.\n\nIn 2008, Hiebert escaped while on a temporary supervised absence. He spent the next year living and working in Greece and Germany before he went to a Canadian Embassy. According to family members, Hiebert was told there was no outstanding warrant for his arrest. A passport and travel visa were arranged for his return to Canada. But moments before he was to board a plane home from Amsterdam, he was re-arrested and returned to prison.\n\nThrough the years, Dutch and local lawyers took on Hiebert's case, citing human rights violations. For example, his interpreter did not show up during his first trial, so the entire hearing was held in Greek. Hiebert did not understand a word of it. Later, former Liberal MPs Dan McTeague and Anita Neville also advocated for Hiebert's release, noting that the same crime here in Canada netted fewer than four years behind bars.

As a result, we are able to repress our fear of death by not thinking about it much.

Boys in uniform play soccer in a large field next to the school’s one-story buildings. In Ethiopia, where statistically more children work than read, the school represents an impressive feat.\n\nBut in Gondar, the Jewish population and places of interest are dwindling fast.\n\nIn June, the Jewish Agency announced that by September it plans to fly out the remaining 400 Falasha who have already been approved by the Israeli government for aliyah. In the years since the major operations, small numbers of people have been emigrating each month. The rest of the applicants will be assessed by the Jewish Agency on a case-by-case basis.\n\nThe Jewish Agency has announced the end of the Falasha aliyah several times before. However, Asher Seyum, the Jewish Agency’s emissary to Ethiopia, says it will really happen this time. In 2011, the Jewish Agency took over aliyah-related operations from the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry to streamline the process.\n\nI met Seyum at the Florida International Hotel in Gondar, a popular gathering point for Jews and Israelis visiting the city. At age 12, Seyum was part of Operation Moses after he fled with his family from a small village outside Gondar and headed to the Jewish camp at the Sudanese border. Now, he is back in Ethiopia as a representative for Israel.\n\nSeyum explained that by the end of the summer, the Jewish Agency plans to conclude its operations, including the synagogue and school.\n\nThis does not mean that Ethiopia will be emptied of Jews entirely. Thousands of Falash Mura, or descendants of Christian converts from Judaism, are to remain behind in Gondar and its surrounding area. Seyum explained that most Falash Mura, also called Zera Israel, converted in the 19th and 20th centuries when Jewish relations with Christian rulers soured. Regardless, many kept ties with their Jewish brethren and were never fully accepted into the Christian communities. When word spread about the aliyah, many thousands of Falash Mura left their villages for Gondar and Addis Ababa, assuming they counted.\n\nThen came the complications.\n\nToday, both Israeli and Ethiopian groups dispute the religious and political status of the Falash Mura. It was not until after Operation Moses that the Israelis became aware of this subgroup, which had emigrated with the others up until then. Israeli officials became wary of opportunists. Today, Falash Mura who move to Israel must undergo conversion upon arrival. Under the Israeli Law of Entry, Falash Mura with family in Israel may apply to make aliyah to reunite with their family members.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7484, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2916d4d412106505c4b3d544734ac99d34619865", "raw_chars": 2157, "clean_chars": 2189, "edit_ratio": 0.0474, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "PORTLAND — Seventeen-year-old Brooke Henderson is a winner on the LPGA Tour. In what has been a season of firsts for the Canadian, Henderson added another milestone to her list of accomplishments on Sunday with her first victory on the LPGA Tour at the Cambia Portland Classic. Henderson won by eight strokes at 21-under par. She carded a final round of 3-under par, 69, including five birdies and two bogeys.\n\n\"It's amazing,\" Henderson said after her win. \"It's such an unbelievable thing, and I can't really, it's not even real-life yet, I don't think. I was just trying to play my own game, and I kept trying to get it to minus-24 all day today, and I came up a little bit short, but I got the win, and I'm extremely excited.\"\n\nHenderson now owns the 72-hole scoring record at the Cambia Portland Classic with a winning total of 21-under par, a record previously held by Suzann Pettersen, who won in 2013 at 20-under par for the championship. Henderson qualified for this week's event on Monday by shooting 68 to earn one of two spots in the field. With her win on Sunday, she becomes just the second player to Monday qualify and go on to win, the first being Laurel Kane at the 2000 State Farm Rail Classic.\n\nHenderson's victory marks the first for a Canadian on the LPGA Tour since Lorie Kane in 2001. Currently ranked 32nd in the Rolex World Golf Rankings, Henderson is the top-ranked Canadian ahead of next year's Olympic games in Rio. She returns home to Canada next week where she is already in the field at the Canadian Pacific Women's Open.\n\n\"I think Canadian golf is really growing, and there's a lot of great players coming up,\" Henderson said. \"But to get that and for Canadian fans and Canadian support that I've received over the last couple months and last couple years is unbelievable, so I'm happy to bring one home for Canada.\"\n\nThe victory is a historic one for Henderson, who becomes just the third player to win on the LPGA Tour before the age of 18, joining impressive company with World No. 2 Lydia Ko and major champion Lexi Thompson.\n\nHenderson says she has not yet decided whether or not she will petition for membership to the Tour following her win this week.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7517, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "5517417eed9bf1f1386afce374fa697651886ad5", "raw_chars": 656, "clean_chars": 692, "edit_ratio": 0.8501, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Is the narrative of great successes being secured by the Euphrates Shield operation merely rhetoric, or is there more to the story?

However, the government charged him with a felony by arguing that his unauthorized access was in furtherance of another crime, specifically a New Jersey state law against unauthorized access. Defense attorneys argued this constituted double-counting of a single offense, and Auernheimer's conviction was subsequently overturned.\n\nThe White House proposal appears designed to address this issue. For instance, it states that simple unauthorized access is a felony if it involves a government computer, if the value of the data exceeds $5,000, or if it is committed in furtherance of a state or federal felony. However, if the underlying state or federal violation is based solely on obtaining information without authorization or in excess of authorization—meaning there is no other additional crime involved—then it would not qualify as a felony. Kerr notes that the wording is tricky and could be interpreted as a mechanism to address the double-counting problem prosecutors faced in the Auernheimer case. As long as the law governing the other state or federal felony includes an element beyond mere unauthorized access, a defendant could still be charged with a felony for exceeding authorized access based on the combination of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the state law.\n\nKerr explains, \"If the state unauthorized access crime has just one element beyond unauthorized access, such as 'obtaining information,' the reasoning would be that the violation is not based 'solely on obtaining the information without authorization.' That will usually be the case, though, which to my mind introduces a serious double-counting problem. Given that the Administration's proposals would make liability for breaching a written condition a felony where the theory is allowed—mostly carrying a 10-year maximum sentence—the double-counting problem gives me some heartburn.\"\n\nThe White House also proposes to make it illegal to traffic in any tool that provides the \"means of access\" to a computer, if the maker has reason to believe someone could use it for illegal purposes. This is intended to criminalize the sale or trading of stolen passwords or similar credentials, but the proposal also refers to trafficking in \"any other means of access\" to a computer. Critics are concerned that this broader language could be interpreted to outlaw the sale or distribution of penetration testing tools or exploit code—software used by cybercriminals to attack vulnerabilities in computer systems to gain access. This distinction matters because exploits and penetration tools are also used by security professionals to determine if a system is vulnerable to attack. Jaycox identifies this as the most dangerous part of the White House changes to the CFAA.\n\n\"They're potentially killing the security tools researchers use to find security holes,\" he says. \"The chilling effect this may have on researchers is enormous.\"\n\nIn summary, Kerr remains skeptical of the administration's proposals for the CFAA, as they would make some punishments too severe and \"expand liability in some undesirable ways.\" However, he notes that the administration has made some compromises. \"They're giving up more than they would have a few years ago, and there are some promising ideas in there,\" he noted in his assessment.\n\nUltimately, the outcome will depend on which of the proposals, if any, lawmakers decide to adopt and how they word their changes.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7554, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "e56db3d45d3b3845e9f5c18dc4d202463b7fd8ff", "raw_chars": 1258, "clean_chars": 1325, "edit_ratio": 0.9853, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When you tell a victim that they are wrong for feeling pain, you are essentially saying that unless they are a robot capable of instantly shutting off their emotions, there is something seriously wrong with them.

Corporations have also been the subject of my blogs. I have a habit of blogging when I am frustrated, and the subject matter of this post is no exception. This time, it is personal; truly personal.\n\nToronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother, City Councilor Doug Ford, seem to make the news on a daily basis by saying something shocking. On occasion, these shocking statements have made international headlines. I am stunned that television newscasts have yet to create their own graphics package, theme music, and a specific segment dedicated to what comes out of the Ford brothers' mouths.\n\nOver the weekend, it was reported that Doug Ford wants a community-based group home located in a residential neighborhood of west Toronto to be moved. According to CP24, Ford was initially okay with the group home moving into the neighborhood and was told it would house \"a few kids with autism who wouldn't leave without supervision.\" However, he feels misled after learning that some of the residents, who allegedly have violent tendencies, were able to leave the property unsupervised.\n\nAccording to the Etobicoke Guardian, The Griffin Centre, which operates the group home, says Ford was told exactly what kind of facility would be housed in the neighborhood. Ford alleges that emergency personnel have responded to the home multiple times and that cars have also been broken into.\n\nEnough of what Ford has to say. I lived in group homes in \"normal neighborhoods\" for nine years. Yes, everybody in the neighborhood knew what the house was. I will also admit that at times the fire department, paramedics, and police had to respond to the group home. However, not one bad thing was ever said to me or other residents by the neighbors.\n\nThe neighbors were nothing but welcoming to us. Sure, they recognized the challenges we faced, and I am sure some days they were grateful it was us facing those challenges and not them. It is my opinion that the neighborhood recognized they played an essential part of our recovery. In order for us to succeed and thrive, we had to learn what it meant to live in a very real community.\n\nMental health centers, otherwise known as psychiatric institutions or hospitals, do have a purpose, but they should not house people over the long term unless ordered by a court or if agreed to by a team of mental health professionals. This should only happen in the rarest of circumstances.\n\nIt is my opinion that if a resident of a group home in a neighborhood is such a disturbance and cannot thrive in such an environment, they will be relocated and not necessarily to another neighborhood. It may be to a hospital or even into the suburbs where neighborhoods are less condensed.\n\nFord is alleging that cars are being broken into.

The week began with a terror attack in New York City, which appeared to be a complex operation designed to strike two or three targets simultaneously. The attacker was an Afghan Islamist who had been under scrutiny by the FBI but was ultimately let slide because, as the narrative goes, one cannot be Islamophobic and maintain a career in law enforcement, even when such concerns are well-founded. Meanwhile, Charlotte, North Carolina, became ground zero for a Rodney King-like riot. When Hillary Clinton attempted to show up and play the role of Al Sharpton, she was asked to stay away. Ted Cruz, much to his everlasting shame, endorsed Trump, signaling that principle did not mean all that much. This endorsement likely had a significant impact on GOP voters who had been reluctant to vote for Trump. The week ended with a Turkish immigrant walking into a Macy's department store in Seattle and gunning down five people.\n\nIn national poll averages, Clinton has maintained a consistent four-point lead. What should be troubling her is her inability to take a decisive lead. She was right earlier in the week when she sniveled about feeling like she should be fifty points ahead. If she were a candidate possessed of normal competence, good health, a functioning moral compass, and the ability to relate to fellow human beings in anything other than a master-servant mode, she would have run away with the race by now. The fact that it is still a four-point race after the nation has seen Donald Trump in action for over a year should terrify her campaign.\n\nBut, as everyone knows, this race is not going to be decided at the national level. It is going to be decided in a handful of states. There, the situation is also grim.\n\nIn Ohio, Trump has a small lead. His lead is probably much larger because Rob Portman is beating his Senate opponent like a rented mule. Portman isn't a terribly charismatic guy, and it is difficult to believe that, especially after Ted Cruz's endorsement, Trump will underperform Portman. Hillary hasn't even visited Ohio in two months.\n\nWhen CNN stops fluffing for Hillary, you know it is serious. In Colorado, Clinton has a three-point lead. That might be enough, but the trendline suggests she is losing momentum at a rate that may put the state out of reach for her by Election Day.\n\nPennsylvania, as James Carville famously described it, has Pittsburgh on one end, Philadelphia on the other, and Alabama (or Pennsyltucky) in the middle. What had looked like a wrap in Pennsylvania is now more uncertain. You'll note the recent polls have been tightening, and the last one should scare the living crap out of the Clinton camp. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Republican rival Donald Trump has narrowed to three points in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a new poll. Clinton leads Trump, 44 percent to 41 percent, in the Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll released late Saturday. One week ago, Clinton had a nine-point advantage in that poll, 47 percent to 38 percent. Clinton's lead in a four-way matchup is now two points, 40 percent to 38 percent, pollsters found. Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson has fallen to 8 percent support, and the Green Party's Jill Stein has 3 percent.

It insistently re-makes technology as something friendly and even quasi-biological by producing things that owe more to Rube Goldberg than to the Filippo Marinetti-style “faster, harder” culture of Sony and Microsoft, or the endless iterations of Apple and Samsung. The ethos admits of failure: Steampunk devices almost are not working properly if they don’t have leaks, if they don’t require maintenance and the occasional thump. That’s where they get character and animation, identities of their own which reflect their owners, while every iPhone can be seen as Apple’s endlessly replicated identity given passage into your every waking moment, a tiny and instantly replaceable cloned shopfront: what role is conferred or imposed by such a device on the person carrying it? It’s not that Jonathan Ive’s designs are poor, it’s that they are profoundly truthful: an iPhone is a vector, not an object, valued by its creator for its purpose and interchangeability, not individuality. Steampunk, on the other hand, repurposes, scavenges, remakes and embellishes in an arena where embellishment is seen as decadence, never mind the inherent decadence of creating the sheer amount of computing power our society now possesses in order that most of it should sit idle or be used for email and occasional games of Plants vs Zombies. Steampunk appeals to the idea of uniqueness, to the one-off item, while every mainstream consumer technology of recent years is about putting human beings into ever more granular, packageable and mass-produced identities so that they can be sold or sold to, perfectly mapped and understood.\n\nIs the movement imperfect? Of course. Does it produce some bad art? By the bucketload - but so do Marxism, Modernism, and Post-Modernism, so did Impressionism and every other way of doing things. Do many its proponents and practitioners ignore the issues inherent in its origins? Yes - though no more than most people do the issues inherent in the formulations of their lives. Does it, in turn, get commodified and packaged and sold back to itself as product? Of course - absent the collapse of capitalism, that’s how our world works. Will it bring about the downfall of the things it resists? Not likely.\n\nSteampunk is flawed, and its flaws are the flaws of the society in which we live, neither more nor less than anything else we do.

They even had a yellow legal pad in there. It was really kind of touching!\"\n\nAt his resentencing last year, many inmates wrote letters on Blagojevich's behalf. He says he has tried to help many of them prepare for life on the outside. \"Especially in the higher security prison next door, you've got a lot of kind of a tougher crowd over there,\" he says. \"I spent a lot of time with several of them, walking around the track and actually doing some mock job interviews, helping them try to make their case to a prospective employer that they should not be prejudiced against them because they've been incarcerated.\"\n\nAnd then there was the band. \"Yeah, the group was originally called 'G-Rod and the Jailhouse Rockers,'\" he says. \"But that sounded too gang-bangerish, and so the powers that be said just call it 'Jailhouse Rockers.'\"\n\nHis group performed for a GED graduation in June of 2013. \"And you know, my two-bit Elvis impersonation got a little less bad and I was able to work on the singing,\" he notes. \"We worked frankly hours my first year and a half, probably five hours a day, getting ready for that GED concert.\"\n\nThe result was a vast repertoire which included \"That's Alright Mama,\" \"All Shook Up,\" and of course, \"Jailhouse Rock.\" \"And if I ever have a chance to be in a place other than this, I feel like my version of 'Jailhouse Rock' is much better, because I've actually lived it!\"\n\nFor now, Blagojevich waits.

The timing of that filing is up to them, but it seems they are gathering or have already gathered new information and are waiting to evaluate it. This represents a second legal track, separate from the post-conviction proceedings, but it remains a hopeful avenue for securing a new trial or exoneration for Adnan.\n\nRegarding the fundraising effort and petition, we have reached a new benchmark with over $60,000 raised. Thank you so much to the people from around the world who have contributed. If you have not yet done so, please consider making a small gift to help us pursue justice for him at www.launchgood.com/freeadnan.\n\nThe petition has reached nearly 20,000 signatories. If you have not signed, please do so and share it with others.\n\nI want to clarify two points regarding the fund itself. First, not a dime goes to me or any of the Trustees. Not a dime, not a penny. We are fully and completely volunteers. I must extend a special thanks to attorney Dennis Robinson, who stays up half the night helping with a hundred different tasks, from fundraising to figuring out how to split up a PDF. The money never comes to me, and I have no access to it. It is being collected for various expenses connected to Adnan’s defense, including fees for private investigators and attorney fees. I am an attorney, but I am not his attorney. Therefore, I do not and will not ever receive a penny from the fund.\n\nSecond, I have previously stated that I will release trial transcripts for every $10,000 we raise. Some people have characterized this as \"selling\" the documents and have been upset about it for weeks. Those critics are mistaken. I am not selling the documents, and I can guarantee that no one is donating to the fund in order to obtain them. People are donating because they feel strongly that a miscarriage of justice has occurred against Adnan. I can also virtually guarantee that none of the people who are upset about having to wait for the documents have ever contributed anything themselves. Furthermore, a very small fraction of Redditors have given to the fund, and most of the supporters are people who have never been on Reddit and do not care about the platform. So if you believe the fund has raised this much money thanks to Reddit, you are mistaken.\n\nThe money would have been raised regardless of how I timed the release of documents, and it will continue to come even if I stop posting any more documents, of that I am certain. The people who have already donated do not need to see the trial transcripts; they have already decided to give. However, I am fully aware of two factors: the time it takes to redact documents versus the time I actually have, and the fact that public interest wanes over time.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7609, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "026293ec7c849d64181cfcf789eb82abd0c7ffe6", "raw_chars": 2656, "clean_chars": 2697, "edit_ratio": 0.0439, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The success of the \"classic album\" gig format, where a nominally iconic record is played in its entirety in exchange for a hefty ticket fee, means veteran artists are increasingly being encouraged to look back, possibly because they can't figure out a way to move forward.

They didn't need to mark the 20th anniversary of an album that was so demonstrably out-of-step with the first zeitgeist-y stirrings of Britpop that it almost ended the band. It seems more likely they felt they had to.\n\nYou could call it a military re-enactment. James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire and Sean Moore take to the stage in the mismatched army surplus gear that was the band's gang uniform of 1994, and perform against the same camouflage netting backdrop. The atmosphere is volatile, the sound cavernous. When there's a problem with Bradfield's mic during the opener Yes, the audience bellow out the missing lines.\n\nWhat originally sounded deleteriously bleak and claustrophobic on record gains a crackling new energy, at least half of which emanates from the crowd. There's a committed moshpit during Of Walking Abortion, and the usually peacocking Wire removes his sunglasses to see what's going on. An unexpected highlight is Die in the Summertime, newly revealed to be weaponised baggy, while even the deliberately upsetting Intense Humming of Evil is roundly cheered.\n\nBefore PCP, the thrashy full stop to the claustrophobic back half of the record, Bradfield belatedly addresses the crowd. \"It goes without saying this is for Richey James Edwards,\" he says.

A pair of slim running lights sit below the headlights, complimented by a pair of sharp-looking winglets.\n\nThe multi-function full LCD dash is unchanged, but the instruments are moved closer to the headlight assembly, and the indicators have been relocated next to the radiator.\n\nThe tail end is a striking departure, too. The upwardly slanted subframe has been shortened by 30mm, and houses an integrated three-dimensional LED taillight. The new seat is flatter, 5mm higher than before, and claimed to offer better support.\n\nThat stubby tail unit also ditches the conventional numberplate hanger, which is now mounted on an ugly and incongruous arm that bolts to the swingarm.

First, they pay themselves a combined income of $30,000 using dividends from the company. Second, they establish a home equity line of credit on their home. Given their $1.7 million in real estate equity and strong income history, they can likely secure a $1 million line of credit priced at Prime plus 0.5 percent, which is currently 3.2 percent.\n\nAfter accounting for their $30,000 draw and $17,700 in tax benefits, they still need to draw over $100,000 from other sources to fund their lifestyle. They would defer RRSP contributions. In the first year, they would borrow these funds from the corporation at a one percent interest rate.\n\nIn the second year, they repeat the process. This time, they borrow from their line of credit to repay the corporation and fund year two expenses, resulting in a line of credit loan balance of $218,000. Fortunately, the 3.2 percent interest rate is significantly lower than any applicable tax rates, and the interest costs are easily covered by a portion of the additional tax benefits. While interest rates on the line of credit could rise, they are expected to remain stable for a while. For this scenario, we have assumed an average interest rate of 3.5 percent.\n\nThey would continue this process for five years. In year six, their eldest child turns 18. The negative impact is that the child will no longer qualify for the Canada Child Benefit (CCB). However, the positive outcome is that she can now receive dividends from the corporation. As a university student with little other income, she can receive approximately $40,000 in dividends taxed at a low single-digit rate. She can then gift these funds to her parents to help pay down their line of credit.\n\nThe net result in year six is that the parents' family income remains the same, but instead of needing to borrow over $100,000, they only need to borrow over $65,000.\n\nIn year eight, the second child turns 18. Family income remains unchanged, but with the same scenario as before, new borrowing is now reduced to less than $30,000.\n\nIn year ten, the situation changes significantly. There are no longer any children under 18. All three children receive dividends from the company, and the company pays out a total of $320,000 in dividends to the parents and children. They no longer need to consider family income for CCB purposes, as there are no more eligible children. By this point, the line of credit balance has reached $730,000, though total debt remains under 40 percent of the house's value. We assume the children receive dividends from age 18 to 23.\n\nDepending on interest rates on the line of credit, their comfort level with risk, and tax rates, the parents can now choose to aggressively pay down the line of credit or let the balance remain.\n\nIf you are uncomfortable paying significantly more tax in 2016, now is the time to explore these emerging strategies. As you can imagine, there are many moving parts, both personally and within the corporation. We attempted to conduct an apples-to-apples comparison of two different strategies and found that by year 35 (when the parents are ages 84 and 81), they would be $760,000 ahead after taxes by using the low income and line of credit strategy compared to continuing to draw their current salary, including inflation adjustments.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7620, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d56b6e3f3f87494f7a06936712a192fd8ecdcb2e", "raw_chars": 3269, "clean_chars": 3031, "edit_ratio": 0.6743, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Dorothy Lawrence (4 October 1896 – 4 October 1964) was an English reporter who secretly posed as a man to become a soldier during World War I.\n\nLawrence was born in Hendon, Middlesex, to parents whose identities remain unknown.

The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, which at the time of its 2004 publication did not mention details of her life after 1919, reports that Lawrence was born on 4 October 1896 in Polesworth, Warwickshire, and was the second daughter of Thomas Hartshorn Lawrence and Mary Jane Beddall.\n\nWanting to be a journalist, Lawrence had success in having some articles published in The Times. At the outbreak of war, she wrote to a number of Fleet Street newspapers in the hope of reporting on the conflict. Travelling to France in 1915, she volunteered as a civilian employee of the Voluntary Aid Detachment but was rejected. Deciding to enter the war zone via the French sector as a freelance war correspondent, she was arrested by French police in Senlis, two miles short of the front line, and ordered to leave. After spending the night sleeping on a haystack in a forest, she returned to Paris where she concluded that only in disguise could she get the story that she wanted to write: \"I'll see what an ordinary English girl, without credentials or money can accomplish.\"\n\nShe befriended two British Army soldiers in a Parisian café and persuaded them to smuggle her a khaki uniform, piece by piece, within their washing. Ten men eventually shared in this exploit, later referred to in her book as the \"Khaki accomplices.\" She then began practising transforming herself into a male soldier by flattening her figure with a homemade corset, using sacking and cotton wool to bulk out her shoulders, and persuading two Scottish military policemen to cut her long, brown hair in a short military style. She darkened her complexion with Condy's Fluid, a disinfectant made from potassium permanganate, razored the pale skin of her cheeks in the hope of giving herself a shaving rash, and finally added a shoe-polish tan. Finally, she asked her soldier friends to teach her how to drill and march.\n\nWearing a blanket coat and no underwear, lest soldiers discover her abandoned petticoats, she obtained forged identity papers as Private Denis Smith of the 1st Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment, and headed for the front lines.\n\nTargeting the British sector of the Somme, she set out by bicycle. On her way towards Albert, Somme, she met Lancashire coalminer turned British Expeditionary Force (BEF) tunnel-digging sapper Tom Dunn, who offered to assist her. Fearing for the safety of a lone woman amongst female-companionship starved soldiers, Dunn found Lawrence an abandoned cottage in Senlis Forest to sleep in.

After navigating several ups and downs and ownership changes in the 1990s, Cray has regained its footing.

The building still features a classic gabled roof, wood-frame windows, pebble-dash siding, and a large picket-fenced patio used for gatherings.\n\n“For many of us, the café represented one of those places where you could go for coffee and meet friends,” Beaumont said.\n\nThe building is listed in a 2009 city study, the Steveston Village Conservation Strategy, as a structure that has adapted over time and is therefore “an important reflection of the continued evolution of the village.”\n\nBeaumont noted there are rumors the café will be converted into a Chinese restaurant or a daycare, and she is uncertain what the sale to an offshore owner means for the future of the building. She described part of the problem as an ad-hoc, outdated vision for the village. Heritage, she argued, provides communities with a sense of place and puts progress in perspective. She is concerned that new developments will “max out” and ruin valued open spaces where community interactions take place. In Steveston, older buildings provide a unique tourism experience, she added.\n\n“Very little in the village is actually protected from demolition,” Beaumont said, looking eastward toward a large building recently erected on Bayview Street. “Steveston may be in for some surprises.”\n\nThe vast majority of village buildings listed in the conservation strategy are not “designated” as heritage. Meanwhile, the city’s Steveston-specific design guidelines, known as the Sakamoto guidelines, are more than 25 years old and open to interpretation by developers, Beaumont said.\n\nThe city also maintains a 2005 heritage inventory, which it plans to update with $150,000 in new funding approved by Richmond city council on Monday, though Coun. Carol Day objected. However, the old inventory did nothing to protect heritage buildings and sites, as evidenced by six Japanese gardens on Moncton Street that were recently bulldozed for a micro-house development.\n\n“There are a lot of buildings on the inventory that are heritage buildings but they’re not designated as such, and that means anyone can come along and rip them down,” Beaumont explained. “And even if it was a designated building, Richmond has never put any real money on the table to try and help with heritage preservation. It’s incumbent on the person who buys the building to keep the look and feel.”\n\nBecause the Cannery Café building is listed in the conservation strategy, council must approve any alterations or demolitions. “If anything, it will be the strength of the conservation strategy that saves this building,” Beaumont said.\n\nHowever, Beaumont stated that she left the heritage commission, claiming the city paid it lip service. “There was no real sense in working with — or really giving some recognition to the fact these are — the people who are the most concerned,” she said, adding that forming a heritage foundation would be a good idea if the culture at city hall were less dictatorial.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7638, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "995fccee1de4fe46b55c9f341b13be7147b5cb19", "raw_chars": 3354, "clean_chars": 3349, "edit_ratio": 0.013, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Social media is a powerful brand-building tool that can drive long-term, organic growth, sustainable through any micro- or macro-environmental threat.\n\nDeveloping the value of your brand should always be a top strategic priority.

Playboy and Twinkie are just two brands that survived another day thanks to the value of their brand names.\n\n3-Step Brand Building\n\nWith that in mind, your social media marketing efforts should always follow the three primary steps of brand building:\n\nConsistency: Consistently communicate your brand promise in every interaction with your audience so they develop the desired perceptions of it. Remember, brand confusion is the number one brand killer.\n\nPersistence: Communicate your brand promise continually and always meet audience expectations based on their perceptions of your brand.\n\nRestraint: Never pursue opportunities that don't effectively support your brand promise or your audience's perceptions of your brand and expectations for it.\n\nUnfortunately, those three core brand-building steps are often ignored or forgotten in social media marketing, which is a huge mistake.

As you review each step described below, notice how the three primary steps of brand building tie into each of the seven P's of social media marketing.\n\n1. Perception\n\nConsumers build brands, not companies. You must develop your brand reputation and persona, and you must consistently meet your audience's expectations in order to create the right perceptions. Follow the Pareto Principle and make sure at least 80 percent of your social media content, conversations, and activities are useful and meaningful to your target audience while no more than 20 percent is self-promotional.\n\n2. Predominance\n\nExtend your brand reach and social media influence by focusing your efforts on your target audience while avoiding activities that could negatively affect the social perception of your brand.\n\n3. Progression\n\nDon't give up. You must persistently publish useful and meaningful content and conversations so your target audience can obtain true social value from your brand.\n\n4. Proof\n\nQuality content and conversations trump quantity. Write amazing, shareworthy content to develop trust with your target audience, back up your marketing claims, and establish your authority.\n\n5. Prevalence\n\nIt's true that quality trumps quantity, but quantity still matters. Ensure your brand is visible by publishing content and conversations frequently.\n\n6. Prominence\n\nStand out from the clutter online by appearing in the right places to get in front of the right audiences. Identify where your target audience spends time online, and join the conversation on those sites.\n\n7. Power\n\nSocial media power comes from the collective strength of all of the previous social media marketing P's. Together, all of these elements drive your brand success over time, and it's the type of momentum that drives ongoing results.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7663, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "60d9669befe28bc081878afb4be060a0d67b2c71", "raw_chars": 2037, "clean_chars": 2012, "edit_ratio": 0.5871, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In some ways, the political Left holds a head start over the pro-freedom Right.

Unlike socialists and so-called liberals, who advocate for a system that constantly tries to \"make water go uphill\" or force human beings into a rigid utopian straitjacket based on the whims of central planning bureaucrats, we do not face that burden. We know that individual freedom for peaceful people within a constitutional republic works in practice, as our country's history demonstrates. The piecemeal abandonment of the principles and institutions that once made America great has proven to be a dead-end road to failure. This is why I remain a long-term optimist, even though the present moment often looks glum. Just as Prohibition was eventually repealed, I am encouraged by the prospect that key statist achievements—such as the income tax, government schools, fiat money and central banking (the Federal Reserve), \"environmentalist\" regulations, property forfeiture laws, and other Marxist planks and leftist institutions—can be rolled back and repealed altogether, although it may take several decades.\n\nThose who wish to carry forward the ideas and principles of self-ownership, private property, free markets, laissez-faire economics, the rule of law, and constitutionalism, which informed America's founders, must become more active on the key ideological battle fronts. We need greater influence not only in politics but also in entertainment, academia, journalism, think tanks, churches (we need our own individualist Walter Rauschenbusches), literature, art, and other venues of expression and activism.\n\nMarxism and socialism have proved to be colossal failures all over the world.

Imagine a heaping pile of spaghetti topped with chili in two, three, four, or five ways, and you have a fantastic comfort food experience.\n\nThe traditional options are straightforward. A plain bowl contains just chili. A two-way combines chili and spaghetti. A three-way adds cheese to the chili and spaghetti. A four-way includes chili, spaghetti, cheese, and onions, though some people substitute beans for the onions. A five-way includes all of those ingredients: chili, spaghetti, cheese, onions, and beans.\n\nYou might think you cannot enjoy this meal on a keto or low-carb diet, but you would be wrong. The chili, cheese, and onions easily meet keto guidelines. You may need to limit your onion intake, but you can still enjoy about an eighth of a chopped onion per serving.\n\nTo lower the carb count, I use Cincinnati Chili seasoning by Skytime, Inc. The base recipe requires one pound of ground beef and a six-ounce can of tomato paste. Be sure to check the carb count on the tomato paste. The seasoning packet lists nutritional information per cup of chili, which is one-eighth of the total packet.\n\nHere is the nutritional breakdown for a single serving. The chili seasoning contributes three net grams of carbs. The ground beef has zero carbs. One cup of grated cheddar cheese adds 1.45 grams of carbs. One-eighth of a chopped onion adds approximately one gram of carbs. The six-ounce can of Hunt’s tomato paste contains five net carbs.\n\nFor substitutions, consider black soybeans. Half a cup of black soybeans contains eight grams of carbs and seven grams of fiber, resulting in only one net gram of carbs. For the spaghetti, use spaghetti squash instead of pasta. Half a cup of cooked spaghetti squash contains four grams of carbs.\n\nMany die-hard Cincinnati chili fans might cringe at this adaptation, but you should try it. The mound of spaghetti squash is topped with so many delicious ingredients that you will love it. The squash has a texture similar to spaghetti, which is how it got its name, and a little bit goes a long way.\n\nHere is the carb count for the entire adapted recipe. The Cincinnati chili seasoning for eight cups totals 24 grams. Eight cups of cheese add 11.6 grams. One whole onion contributes eight grams. One cup of black soybeans adds two grams. The ground beef has zero carbs. The six-ounce tomato paste adds five grams. Four cups of spaghetti squash contribute 16 grams. The total for the entire recipe is 66.6 grams of carbs. One serving, which is one-eighth of the recipe, contains approximately 8.32 grams.\n\nYou can adjust the carb count depending on your preferred ingredients. I find that half a cup of spaghetti squash is enough for one serving because the toppings are plentiful. A whole cup of chili is a substantial amount, and I use plenty of cheese, though you could use less. I do not use many soybeans, but you can experiment with the combinations to discover what you like best.\n\nThe most difficult part of the recipe is cooking the squash. You can find a fool-proof method for that elsewhere.\n\nTo prepare the chili, pour six cups of water into a large pot. Add one can of tomato paste, one packet of Cincinnati chili seasoning, and one pound of ground beef. Do not cook the beef ahead of time. Simply place it in the water with the seasoning and chop it up a bit as it starts to boil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer until it reaches your preferred thickness.\n\nWhile the chili simmers, cook the spaghetti squash.

These massive trees can be generated in three primary ways: by planting saplings and fertilizing them with bone meal in creative or survival mode, by summoning them using specific commands, or by allowing them to grow naturally when new forested biomes spawn.\n\nTo plant a giant tree in creative or survival mode, you must first flatten a 5x5 area of dirt. Next, surround an emerald block with two rings of saplings. Finally, fertilize one of the saplings with a stack of 64 bone meal and stand back to watch it grow. The type of sapling you fertilize will determine the species of the giant tree that emerges.\n\nFor those who prefer using commands, you can create a giant tree by typing /tree-create or /gt followed by the name of the tree. The available tree names can be found in the plugin's data directory. For instance, to summon a giant acacia tree, you would use the command /gt tree.ACACIA. If you wish to edit the model of an existing tree or create a new one, you can use the /tree-edit command. Note that this command can only be executed from the server console, as shown in the example: /tree-edit tree.ACACIA.\n\nBy default, giant trees will grow naturally in newly generated chunks within the default overworld, known as \"world.\" To add giant trees to additional worlds, adjust the frequency of tree growth, or disable natural tree growth entirely, you can modify the plugin's config.yml file.\n\nIn the beta version, the following tree species can be summoned using the /gt command: tree.ACACIA, tree.BIRCH, tree.DARK_OAK, tree.JUNGLE, tree.OAK, and tree.SPRUCE. Additional tree species are planned for future releases.\n\nIf you need to undo a tree summoned with the /gt command, you can use WorldEdit's //undo command. This feature is automatically enabled if WorldEdit is installed on your server.\n\nCreating your own giant tree species is also possible. Begin by using the /tree-edit command from the server console, providing the name of the tree you wish to edit or create. If you are creating a new tree, you can ignore any \"file not found\" errors. Alternatively, you can double-click the Giant Trees plugin .jar file to launch the visual tree editor. Design your tree using this editor, then click save and exit. To add roots to your tree, create another tree with the same name but with \".root\" appended to the end. For example, you would use /tree-edit tree.ACACIA.root. Root trees are rendered upside down in the world and scaled to match their corresponding tree.\n\nIf you have created an impressive new tree species, you can send the model to the developer via private message for potential inclusion in the next plugin version.\n\nRegarding permissions, the gianttrees.create permission (default OP) allows players to create a giant tree using the tree-create command. The gianttrees.grow permission (default true) allows players to grow a giant tree by fertilizing a grid of saplings.\n\nThe plugin's source code and issue tracker are available on GitHub at https://github.com/rmichela/GiantTrees.\n\nThis plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system. Unless opted out, the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org: a unique identifier, the server's Java version, whether the server is in offline or online mode, the plugin's version, the server's version, the OS version/name and architecture, the CPU core count, the number of players online, and the metrics version.

The nation, whose founders included such individualists as Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, James Madison, John Adams, and Patrick Henry, has gradually turned away from the principles of individual rights, limited constitutional government, private property, and free markets, and instead, we increasingly have embraced the failed ideas and nostrums of socialism and fascism.

If you have already acquired him, you are likely quite savvy or perhaps lucky. Montero has not received nearly as much attention as he deserves, possessing a rock-solid floor combined with a fairly decent ceiling.\n\nFor a fantasy baseball comparison, consider Jose Berrios, a Twins starting prospect drafted last season. I am very high on Berrios as well, but it does not make much sense that he has garnered more attention than Montero, who could be a comparable pitcher in a year or two. Berrios likely has a higher ceiling, but he has not proven himself to the same extent, which is expected given that he is three and a half years younger. This is not a criticism of Berrios; rather, I believe Montero and Berrios should be valued somewhat comparably. Montero signed with the Mets out of the Dominican Republic at the age of 20, which is relatively late for an international prospect. This timing explains why he will pitch at age 22 this season and likely begin the year at Double-A, though 22 is not an unreasonable age to start at that level.\n\nI also compare Montero to established MLB starters Doug Fister and Hiroki Kuroda regarding possible future statistical performance. I am not comparing his arsenal or pitching style to theirs, but rather looking at fantasy value and the type of statistics one might expect. That is respectable company. Montero is not going to be the next Adam Wainwright or Felix Hernandez, nor is he likely to be the next Stephen Strasburg. However, if things develop as expected, he will hold fantasy value and a role on your team, provided you do not play in an extremely shallow league.\n\nI play in a 30-team dynasty league with 55-man rosters and recently dealt a post-2013 first-round pick for Montero. Coming off two championships with one of the strongest teams in the league, I fully expect that pick to fall in the 1.25 to 1.30 range, meaning I believe I secured a good price. I also acquired him in a Fake Teams dynasty league. If Montero picks up where he left off last season, dominates Double-A hitters, and exhibits exceptional control, I expect his stock to rise quickly. It is not out of the question that he joins the Mets rotation at some point this season.\n\nRegarding his statistics and hype, Montero pitched at Single-A and High-A in 2012, posting a 2.36 ERA in 122 innings with 110 strikeouts to just 19 walks. He even improved his strikeout rate as the season progressed, striking out over a batter per inning at High-A where he maintained a strikeout-to-walk ratio better than 5:1. Jon Heyman reported that Montero was \"thrilling Mets people\" early in spring training. The New York Daily News noted that manager Terry Collins commented, \"This guy is coming with rave reviews,\" adding, \"He may not have the fastball Zack Wheeler has, but I had minor-league people tell me not to be surprised if he's up before September 1.\" Montero's most recent spring training start against the Nationals featured four and two-thirds scoreless innings, complemented by three strikeouts and one walk. Although I planned to write this analysis before that start, it certainly reinforces my belief in Montero.\n\nIf you are thinking of other somewhat under-the-radar starting pitching prospects, please share them in the comments.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7679, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5d183b7b705cc55ad1f068db66b0b1db3733264b", "raw_chars": 3212, "clean_chars": 3215, "edit_ratio": 0.0123, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "During the Brexit debate, one comment stuck in my mind and seemed to resonate with people on both sides of the argument. Responding to expert claims in June that Brexit would damage the UK economy, Leave campaigner Michael Gove delivered a line that sent shivers down the spines of our colleagues in all fields: \"People in this country have had enough of experts.\"\n\nFour months on, we can start to see the results of the vote to leave the European Union. The markets are volatile, the future is uncertain, and many of us are left trying to figure out what has caused the big divide in our country. Disillusionment, austerity, and misinformation have all been blamed for the polarised result. So, what does this mean for science?\n\nFor centuries, Britain has been at the forefront of science and engineering. Science is not just part of our heritage; it is part of our future. The UK's competitiveness and economy depend on it. But when Mr Gove made this statement, it made me wonder if our relationship with experts and scientists was changing.\n\nMr Gove's comments are believable, since trust in many sectors has declined sharply in recent years. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme says that trust in the financial sector was shattered by the recession. Trust in charities has also dipped from a rating of 6.7 out of 10 to 5.7 since 2014, with people citing reasons such as aggressive fundraising tactics and the collapse of Kids Company as the cause of this dip. Trust in MPs also fell after the expenses scandal, according to Ipsos MORI. These events have shaken confidence in the people and institutions we considered to be experts.\n\nAre scientific experts next to undergo a sharp decline in trust? What could this mean for the UK and our place in the world?\n\nAt the British Science Association, we monitor the relationship between science and society, and it's complicated. On the surface, trust in scientists is very high. More people trust scientists to tell the truth (79%) than the police (53%) or the clergy (67%), according to Ipsos MORI's Veracity Index. The Institute for Government also found that most of us want experts to be involved in policy decisions (85%), and for their evidence to be used by politicians (83%).\n\nDelve a bit deeper, and you find that this trust is less robust than it first seems. Our research shows that only 12% of the population actively seek out scientific information, media content, or events. Around 52% are open to science but don't actively seek it out, and 27% completely avoid it. With most of our citizens disengaged from science, is their trust in experts resilient?\n\nThis low level of engagement suggests that our relationship with science and expertise is based largely on blind trust. We allow scientists and scientific institutions to get on with their work, often with public funding, without much questioning or scrutiny. We rely on science to police itself. But who can blame us when science is so inaccessible: an academic article in a non-open access journal can cost more than £40 to read; funding decisions are made behind closed doors; and many scientists are not recognised or rewarded for their engagement with people outside their profession.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7701, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "46fbae996f0bf10a2948a7f99f225d38420ee282", "raw_chars": 3459, "clean_chars": 1786, "edit_ratio": 0.5664, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When Culmann observed the pattern of spongy bone at the top of the thigh bone, it reminded him of his crane. He was immediately struck by how clearly he could see the crisscrossing lines of force within the bone.\n\nThe spongy interior of the thigh bone is efficiently arranged so that material is present where forces are greatest and absent where there are none. In bone, this process occurs gradually during development. The spongy bone hardens and aligns in directions where it experiences the greatest force, and atrophies in places where it is not used. There is an analogy here to how impressive sandstone arches are carved by the wind. The wind erodes places where the stone is least stressed, leaving in place a three-dimensional outline of the lines of force where the stone is most densely compacted.\n\nIn recent years, the mathematical exactness of this relation between bone and force has been called into question. However, the general principle that bone adapts to its functional demands, and that bone structure corresponds to the forces it experiences, remains widely accepted.\n\nWhat does this have to do with Eiffel? Culmann’s approach of graphically representing push and pull forces was a powerful new tool, one that is still used today. One of Culmann’s students, Maurice Koechlin, worked for Eiffel. It was Koechlin who sketched the original concept of the Eiffel Tower, drawing from his training in visualizing forces. The same tools that Culmann developed and used to understand bone were later used by Eiffel’s engineers to design a tower that minimizes the use of material.\n\nSo while critics who called Eiffel’s tower a skeleton meant it as an insult, it is actually quite the compliment.

In previous videos, ZJ had discussed these biblical genocides and challenged Christians who believed these acts were morally justified. ZJ urged them to condemn these acts as unacceptable, just as all genocides are clearly wrong. However, most of them refused, reiterating their support for biblical genocide.\n\nThe most common justification provided was that God ordered these genocides, and anything God commands is morally right, even morally obligatory. Therefore, it is completely acceptable to wipe out an entire race of people, including children and infants, if God tells you to. They believe that it is right to commit genocide if God commands it, and the alleged will of God is all the justification they need.\n\nZJ found this stance stunning and raised a very important question: When something as horrific as genocide becomes acceptable to you if you believe God deems it so, is there anything you would consider unacceptable even if God commands it? Is there anything God could order you to do that would be such an affront to your sense of morality that you would refuse? To illustrate this, ZJ provided several examples.\n\nIn the book of Genesis, chapter 22, God tells Abraham to sacrifice his only son as an offering.

After meeting at McDonald's, they spent two days together, driving around visiting friends. Then a pretend fight between them escalated into a brutal beating of a mentally disabled teenager that has stirred racial tensions and outrage after being broadcast on Facebook Live.\n\nHow the white suburban teen ended up beaten by four black people, threatened with a knife and taunted with profanities against white people and President-elect Donald Trump is among the puzzles authorities are still trying to piece together after the four were charged with hate crimes on Thursday.\n\nThe alleged attackers will make their first appearance in court Friday, when they also face charges of kidnapping and battery for the assault, which was captured on cellphone video by one of the assailants and viewed by millions on social media.\n\n\"This should never have happened,\" said David Boyd, the victim's brother-in-law at a brief news conference in suburban Chicago. He said the victim was traumatized but doing as well as could be expected. Neal Strom, who is acting as a family spokesman, told The Associated Press that the victim has had \"profound emotional and physical disabilities throughout his life.\" He did not elaborate.\n\nThe uproar over the beating has intensified the glare on Chicago after a bloody year of violent crime and protests against Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a police department that has been accused of brutality and hushing up wrongdoing. The department has also been the subject of a long civil-rights investigation by the Justice Department, which is expected to report its findings soon. It also stirred emotions still raw after a nasty presidential election campaign that split the nation.\n\nThe case heightened political tensions on social media, with some conservatives suggesting it was linked to the Black Lives Matter movement. Police said there was no indication of any connection.\n\nThe cruelty of the attack and the intense social media exposure prompted President Barack Obama to respond, calling it \"despicable.\"\n\n\"I take these things very seriously,\" he told Chicago's WBBM-TV on Thursday. But he said the incident does not mean that race relations have gotten worse.\n\n\"We see visuals of racial tensions, violence and so forth because of smartphones and the internet and media ... a lot of the problems that have been there a long time,\" he said.\n\nChicago police initially said the youth was singled out because he has \"special needs,\" not because he was white. But authorities later said the charges resulted from both the suspects' use of racial slurs and their references to the victim's disability.\n\nCook County prosecutors identified the suspects as Brittany Covington and Tesfaye Cooper, both of Chicago, and Jordan Hill, of suburban Carpentersville. All are 18. A fourth suspect was identified as Covington's 24-year-old sister, Tanishia Covington, also of Chicago.\n\nExcerpts of the video posted by Chicago media outlets show the victim with his mouth taped shut and slumped in a corner of a room. At least two assailants are seen cutting off his sweatshirt, and others taunt him off camera. The video shows a wound on the top of the man's head. One person pushes the man's head with his or her foot.\n\nA red band also appears to be around the victim's hands.

The secret lies in understanding the shapes of strength. It is a lesson we can learn by looking inwards, literally. By studying our bones, we can discover some of the same principles that Eiffel used in designing his tower.\n\nShapes Within Shapes Within Shapes\n\nIf you slice a bone open, you will find that it is kind of like a baguette: hard on the outside and spongy on the inside. The outer bone material is hard and compact. This compact bone does most of the heavy lifting for the bone. On the interior is a spongier bone material. This spongy bone also plays an important role in carrying the pushing and pulling forces that our bones constantly endure.\n\nNow let us zoom into the crust of that bone baguette, the compact bone. It is made up of tiny tubes called osteons, each just two-tenths of a millimeter across, with a blood vessel running down the middle. Zooming further into the walls of these osteons, we find that they are made out of tinier bundles called fibrils. Zoom further still, into one of these fibrils, and we see that they are really a bundle of fibers, and each fiber is really three interwoven strands. Pull these strands apart, and we have unweaved our bones into their most fundamental unit, a long chain-like molecule called collagen.\n\nThis fractalesque way of putting things together, building with materials that are self-similar as you keep zooming in, is known as structural hierarchy. And it is this structural hierarchy, tubes within tubes within tubes within tubes, that gives our bones their lightweight strength. The spongy bone also has a fractalesque, self-similar design. If you look at a piece of it under an electron microscope, you will find that it looks just as spongy.\n\nBamboo exploits the same idea. This ultra-fast growing grass needs a way to minimize material and stay very light, so it can grow tall and not collapse under its own weight. Bamboo's hollow tube shape is a very efficient way to create stiffness. And like bone, bamboo is made out of tinier tubes, which in turn are made out of bundles of fibers, that are each made of out even smaller bundles of fibers, and so on. When you unweave a bamboo down to its tiniest thread, at the scale of a nanometer, you arrive at another long chain-like molecule, cellulose.\n\nBamboo and bone are both natural nano-engineered materials that use structural hierarchy to achieve their lightness and strength. The Eiffel Tower uses a similar idea. Eiffel borrowed this notion from bamboo and bone, although he probably arrived at it independently, and put it to use on a colossal scale.\n\nLike many modern structures, the Eiffel Tower uses an arrangement of criss-crossing X-shaped beams known as a truss. This is a very efficient way to engineer structures by relying on the inherent strength and stability of triangles. If you zoom into one of the Eiffel Tower's trusses, you will find that they are not as solid as they seem. Each of them is made up of smaller, similar trusses. The material has more holes than it has iron. This hollow form contributes to the tower's mind-boggling lightness. The next time you go over a bridge, look carefully, and you are likely to see the same idea at play.\n\nShaped by the Wind", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7710, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "fda4162d812ec802ada4474edaefa8ed9c36a88d", "raw_chars": 3051, "clean_chars": 2462, "edit_ratio": 0.2073, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Cecil was greatly concerned by Republican opposition to the League of Nations and sought to concede some of President Wilson's demands to secure American acceptance. This included protecting the Monroe Doctrine within the Covenant. On April 21, the British Empire delegation met with Cecil, who assured them that Dominion criticism of the draft Covenant had been considered and that the new draft avoided \"the impression that a super State was being created.\" The Canadians objected that while the risk of Canada being invaded was unlikely, invasions occurring in France or the Balkans were much greater, and these unequal risks had not been taken into consideration. Furthermore, the League loaded Canada with more liabilities than it had as a member of the Empire. Cecil argued that the Council of the League would determine when this obligation would be fulfilled and that, since it could only decide by unanimity, a Canadian delegate could object and that would be the end of the matter. The historian George Egerton, in his history of the creation of the League, claimed that Cecil \"more than anyone else, deserved credit for the successful outcome of the second phase of the work of the League of Nations Commission.\"\n\nAfter the Treaty of Versailles was first presented to Germany, Cecil argued strongly that it should be made less harsh on Germany and that Germany should be allowed to join the League. Cecil left Paris on June 9, his hopes of a revision of the Treaty disappointed.\n\nUpon returning to Britain, Cecil eagerly planned the activities of the League of Nations Union. Cecil's public life from then on was almost totally devoted to the League; he served as president of the Union from 1923 to 1945. He chaired a reconstruction committee of the Union in July 1919, with his primary aim being to ensure that the Union built a powerful pro-League lobby in Britain to make sure that the government put the League at the centre of its foreign policy. Cecil also sought to broaden the membership of the Union, which had hitherto largely consisted of Asquithian Liberals, by soliciting the support of Conservatives and Labour.\n\nCecil was an Esperantist, and in 1921, he proposed that the League of Nations adopt Esperanto as a solution to the language problem. From 1920 until 1922, he represented the Dominion of South Africa in the League Assembly; in 1923, he made a five-week tour of the United States, explaining the League to American audiences.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7710, "chunk_idx": 11, "raw_sha1": "7746be87f7de582747918517e6f5d500af8d1de9", "raw_chars": 3003, "clean_chars": 2221, "edit_ratio": 0.7071, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In his final speech in the House of Lords on 23 April 1953, Cecil reiterated his commitment to world peace. He acknowledged that the essence of national sovereignty means independent nations cannot be compelled, except by force of arms, to take action their governments disapprove of, and that this remains true regardless of any general agreements they may have made. He argued that no elaborate or ingenious organization could alter that fact. Cecil added that any plan for international peace must be rooted in Christian civilization, emphasizing that the British especially insist that from the days of King Alfred to the present, Christian civilization has been responsible for every improvement and advance made. He stated that this system had been attacked by Russian dialectical materialism, whose central tenet is that there is no spiritual nature of man, or if there is, it should be ignored or stamped out as quickly as possible. However, he warned that ignoring or abolishing the spiritual nature of man destroys the foundation on which all truth, justice, and freedom rest, leaving only what can flow from the love of money or what money can buy. He advocated rearmament to prevent a Bolshevik attack and claimed that Christian civilization is the only real alternative to dialectical materialism. Unless there was a change in the principle of materialism, he did not see how permanent security for peace could be achieved.\n\nCecil's career brought him many honors. In addition to his peerage, he was appointed a Companion of Honour in 1956, elected chancellor of the University of Birmingham from 1918 to 1944, and rector of the University of Aberdeen from 1924 to 1927. He received the Peace Award of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation in 1924 and, most significantly, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1937.

In an interview with ZDNet, founder and CEO Tim Lea explained that the company is mobilizing individuals affected by piracy within the creative community to help build the infrastructure necessary to solve the problem. He likened the approach to the way the SETI@home project at Berkeley operates, but instead of searching for extraterrestrial life, users will hunt for pirated content.\n\nParticipants who support the underlying infrastructure and locate pirated material will be rewarded with cryptocurrency. Lea noted that, similar to Bitcoin, the value of the platform's token is expected to rise as the project gains traction. \"If the market believes and the community believes that your project has got legs, then the price of that cryptocurrency will typically rise because they believe in the platform,\" he said.\n\nLea's passion for combating film piracy stems from his own experience. After he and 115 others produced a film, they fell victim to piracy, which effectively devalued their contributions. \"When we got pirated, it basically said their contribution was worth nothing,\" Lea recalled. \"So we're focusing on the film and video, but we're creating the heart and soul of this platform so that others can actually go hunting for other content.\"\n\nThe open-source platform is designed to be adaptable for other creative sectors, such as music and photography. Lea envisions bringing these industries together to establish new distribution models, including \"white hat peer-to-peer BitTorrenting.\" His goal is to reduce piracy by 80 percent over time. \"It's not going to happen a week on Tuesday,\" he admitted, \"but over time if we make content available more easily and we have deterrents at the same time, then we'll gradually reduce piracy.\"\n\nWhile blockchain technology is best known for facilitating Bitcoin trading, it has evolved far beyond its early association with illicit online marketplaces. Lea emphasized that blockchain is essential for the platform's reward system. \"Without blockchain-based technology, it's not actually something that could be rewarded for actually providing a structure or they couldn't be rewarded as effectively,\" he explained.\n\nBeyond anti-piracy efforts, Lea believes the platform can disrupt traditional venture capital models. \"The community is funding the development of the heart and soul of the platform,\" he said. \"We don't actually need to go down the Series A route, which is beautiful.\" He pointed out that many blockchain startups use similar funding mechanisms, citing Ethereum, which launched its software platform as a crowdfunding initiative in late 2014. Ethereum raised $18 million for development and is now valued at approximately $4 billion.\n\nLea described the project as an open-source structure where everyone contributes and benefits, with a commercial layer added specifically for the film and video space. \"If we get this right, it will be amazing,\" he concluded.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7728, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e51b3f2acdea56210eecb7aefcfcfee7e0e59dca", "raw_chars": 2241, "clean_chars": 1893, "edit_ratio": 0.118, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Fremantle key defender Zac Dawson has suffered another setback after fracturing his thumb in the WAFL on Saturday.

She suggested that it was time for a conference focused on peer-to-peer lending. This was quite serendipitous, as one of my goals for 2013 was to organize some kind of conference. So, we joined forces.\n\nToday, we are both delighted to announce that the LendIt Conference is now open for registrations. It will take place on June 20th at the Convene Innovation Center in New York City. Before I go any further, I imagine you have a couple of questions. What is this conference about exactly, and who is it for?\n\nThere is a full preliminary agenda on the website. While peer-to-peer lending will be a large part of the conference, our focus is going to be broader than that. Of course, I still believe that peer-to-peer lending is a fantastic investment opportunity, but I am not blind to other types of alternative online investments. One that I am becoming increasingly enamored with is small business lending, something that has been around for centuries but has only recently migrated online. Student loans are also an interesting investment, with a total market size far exceeding credit card debt.\n\nSo, the focus will be on investing, more specifically online lending, whether to consumers, small businesses, or students. For the first time, we are bringing together the leaders in online lending for a one-day conference.\n\nLearn How Online Lending Will Replace the Banking System\n\nWhile we are still working on the final speaker lineup, I can tell you this: the morning keynote will be given by Renaud Laplanche, CEO of Lending Club, where he will reveal how he believes online lending will eventually replace the banking system. Other confirmed speakers include Ron Suber, Head of Institutional Sales at Prosper; Candace Klein, CEO of SoMoLend; Matt Symons, CEO of SocietyOne in Australia; Samir Desai, CEO of Funding Circle in the UK; David Klein, CEO of CommonBond; and many more.\n\nI am not going to lie to you. If you are just looking for the latest ideas on filtering loans at Lending Club or Prosper, then this conference is probably not for you. But if you want to meet the leaders of this industry and learn the trends that are shaping its future, then there is no better place to be on June 20th than in New York City.\n\nSpecial Discount for Lend Academy Readers\n\nThe retail price to attend this one-day conference is $495. However, if you act fast and are one of the first 50 people to register, the price is only $295. But if you are a Lend Academy reader, you get a special discount. Just enter the code LENDACADEMYDISC into the promotion code field on the Eventbrite registration page, and you will receive a 25% discount.\n\nFinally, I would like to thank everyone who has helped us on our journey so far.

Azar, M.D. Discusses Bill to Protect Sports Medicine Specialists\n\nA team doctor accompanies athletes across state lines to cover a game. When the excitement of the game passes, however, he or she learns that they are at risk for a lawsuit. But things are changing with the introduction of a new bill in Congress that would provide licensure clarity for sports medicine professionals. Dr. Frederick Azar, M.D., President of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), tells OTW, “Sports medicine doctors often travel across state lines with their teams, and there are a lot of injuries during the game that require rapid evaluation. The team doctor is then faced with an unenviable dilemma: either deny their patient continuity of care from their own doctor who knows the athlete and his or her medical history, or treat their patient at significant professional and legal risk.”\n\n“In the absence of licensure clarity, team doctors risk civil and criminal liability when they treat athletes and staff at away games, and their malpractice carriers would likely not cover the civil portion if there was an issue in a different state. Moreover, things have been rather ambiguous because of the differences in state laws. Thanks to this bill, doctors will not have to choose between their patient’s care and their ability to effectively practice medicine.”\n\nEureka! Decrease DVT Risk Without Blood Thinners\n\nA multicenter study has found that a new compression device is just as effective at reducing the risk of thrombosis in hip and knee arthroplasty as any of the available drug protocols. Clifford Colwell, M.D. is an orthopedic surgeon with the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California. He tells OTW, “Hospitals have used compression devices for many years, but the motors were cumbersome and patients could not take them home. Therefore, physicians have relied on drug therapy; but drugs are met with bleeding issues.”\n\n“The ActiveCare+S.F.T., which coordinates with a patient’s respiration phase, ensures the best blood flow to the right heart, also takes into consideration the compliance issue: the manufacturer put a LCD on front of the device to record hours of use. We enrolled over 3, 000 patients and found that the DVT (deep vein thrombosis) rates based on clinical outcomes were the same as those of those patients who took blood thinners—under 1%—and there was no bleeding.”\n\n“Once you get the risk down to that degree, your chances of changing those numbers for the better are low. The next target is to get companies to compete in order to drive down costs. About three companies are trying to put out a portable device, so that will happen. This device costs about $200-$300 for the home use component if the insurance company does not pay. Medicare will not pay for prophylaxis, but this device could be considered more than prophylaxis because we’re treating an impending clot. It would be difficult to improve on the incidence of clots below the 1% level, but it could be done less expensively.”\n\nNote: Dr. Colwell indicates that he was compensated to organize the trial, but that he has no financial interest in the product.\n\nJames Jagger, M.D. Wins SEC Team Physician of the Year", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7753, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "9a49fdbdffea895b5833ab6150af012df8f8b02a", "raw_chars": 2853, "clean_chars": 2844, "edit_ratio": 0.0665, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "All of the work we undertook to unite with other working-class and popular sectors, and to win the community support we counted on during those years, demonstrates on a small scale the potential power of the working class to lead an alliance of all sectors that suffer exploitation and oppression in this society.

It allowed us to resist any eviction attempt and now the attempt to economically suffocate us, which has been pushed forward by the government of the MPN (Movimiento Popular Neuquino, the governing party in the province) with the collaboration of the national government, both of whom are enemies of workers' self-management.\n\nAlong with workers' self-management, the Ceramic Workers' Union played a fundamental role.\n\nAbsolutely. In the year 2000, as many know, we threw out the Montes bureaucracy. The Agrupación Marrón (Brown Group) of the SOECN, organized on the basis of a class-struggle program, was put to the test in each of these events that occurred in the province, and not only in Neuquén. We began to approach each place where there was a struggle: Mosconi in Salta, Brukman (a textile factory in Buenos Aires occupied by its workers in 2001), the oil workers, the popular assemblies, and the Subte (Buenos Aires Underground). We organized meetings of factories, participated in the piquetero assemblies, and launched a newspaper called Nuestra Lucha (Our Struggle). Everything we did allowed us to unite with those sectors that were fighting against the bureaucracy and the bosses; these were our brothers and sisters. Then we proposed and launched various forms of coordination.\n\nAmongst the ceramic workers, we set ourselves the objective of revolutionizing the union. Many militant compañeros have reclaimed their organizations, but they do not fight to get rid of the bureaucratic heritage that remains. Many pass through a union, but after they lose it, everything remains the same.\n\nFor this reason, and after much discussion, debate, and participation, we approved the new statutes of the union: that the assembly is sovereign, that all leaders are recallable and that their positions be rotated; that minorities have representation; that the union is a class-struggle union and is therefore independent of the state, the employers, and big business parties; and that it places itself at the service of the class struggle which extends beyond national borders. This is part of the program of the revolutionaries: the struggle against state control of the unions and for workers' democracy.

However, the global extent of population shrinkage and extirpation has previously not been fully recognized or quantified. In addition, some studies document that invertebrates and plants are suffering massive losses of populations and species.\n\nHere, we extend the investigation of mass extinction to terrestrial vertebrate population decreases and losses, providing estimates of the number of their species with decreasing populations. The accuracy of these estimates is strongly dependent on an unknown parameter: the actual average area occupied by a vertebrate population. However, even if a population were to occupy an area five times larger than what we have used here (i.e., 50,000 km²), there would still be hundreds of thousands of populations that have suffered extinction in the past few centuries. On the other hand, most vertebrates (approximately 70%) are small species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. If, on average, they have one population every 10 km², then vertebrates would have suffered more than a billion population extinctions.\n\nOur results show that population extinction in land vertebrates is geographically omnipresent, but with notable prominence in tropical, species-rich regions. Interestingly, when population extinctions are evaluated as a percentage of total species richness, temperate regions, with their typical low species diversity, show higher proportions of population loss. While there are some illustrative qualitative examples of population decreases and their consequences within terrestrial and marine vertebrates, this study represents an attempt at a quantitative evaluation of global trends in population extinctions.\n\nRecent reviews indicate that species extinctions, population decreases, and range contraction (implying population extinctions) among terrestrial invertebrates and plants are as severe as among vertebrates. For example, long-term monitoring of insect populations in the United Kingdom shows that 30–60% of species per taxonomic order have contracting ranges. The situation in plants has been less evaluated, making it difficult to compare them with animals, but there is little reason to believe that the extinction situation in plants is dramatically different. Furthermore, research shows that the loss of animal populations indirectly leads to changes in plant communities, frequently causing the reduction of local species richness and the dominance of a few plant taxa. These taxa either experience \"ecological release\" in response to decreasing herbivore pressures, or experience population reductions due to the decline of animals responsible for pollination or dispersal.\n\nThe status of biodiversity among microorganisms is too poorly known to permit us to make any comparison and generalizations about the current pulse of extinctions, although some recent research has unraveled feedbacks between local large herbivore defaunation and mycorrhizal richness.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7756, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "a4a8b641a4566d822cf3334ade3cf54c5dd73be3", "raw_chars": 3365, "clean_chars": 3262, "edit_ratio": 0.2129, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As expected, large concentrations of decreasing vertebrate species occur in species-rich areas of moist tropical forests adjacent to mountainous regions, such as the Andes–Amazon region, the Congo basin-adjacent eastern African highlands, and the Himalayas–south Asian jungle belt.\n\nThe distribution of the number of decreasing species considering vertebrate classes separately reveals notable differences. First, the maximum number of decreasing species in a 10,000-km2 quadrat varies from a high value of 296 decreasing birds per quadrat, to a low maximum of 60 decreasing reptiles in a quadrat. Second, mammals and birds have relatively similar distribution patterns of decreasing species, except that birds have more decreasing species in the temperate zones. Third, mammals and birds have patterns of decreasing species quite distinct from those of reptiles and amphibians, given that the latter are rarer in the northern and southern temperate and subpolar regions (both are essentially absent from the Arctic and are missing from the Antarctic). Fourth, reptiles and amphibians clearly differ from each other in regions where decreasing species are concentrated. For example, there are more decreasing reptiles in the Eurasian and African continents, and more decreasing amphibians in the Americas.\n\nThere is also great variation in the total population size and geographic ranges among individual species. Although there is no accurate information on population size for most taxa, whatever is available indicates that the total population size in species with decreasing populations varies from fewer than 100 individuals in critically endangered species such as the Hainan black-crested gibbon (Nomascus hainanus), to many millions of individuals in decreasing common species such as the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica). Similarly, the smallest ranges (i.e., <1 km2) are seen in species such as the Carrizal seedeater (Amaurospiza carrizalensis) from Venezuela and Herrera’s false coral snake (Lampropeltis herrerae) from Mexico, both denizens of tiny islands. The largest ranges are hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, as in the bush dog (Speothos venaticus) from South America and the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) from Eurasia.\n\nThe sum of the 10,000-km2 quadrats representing the current ranges of the 8,851 decreasing vertebrate species is 1,350,876 quadrats. A highly conservative estimate would indicate a similar number of local populations facing extinction. This is, of course, a very rough estimate of the total number of populations, as the number of populations of a decreasing species in each quadrat largely depends, aside from suitable habitat distribution within the quadrat, on animal body mass and trophic position. The assumption of one population per 10,000 km2 might seem very conservative, as this area could accommodate many populations of small animals (e.g., 0.1-kg rodents), most of which could have been extirpated. However, 10,000 km2 may not be sufficient for, or can barely accommodate a viable population of large carnivores (say a 330-kg Siberian tiger).

Now I’m ready to give them a try.\n\nOver the last few years, I have watched with a blend of amazement and grave concern as an odd phenomenon has unfolded against the backdrop of our nation’s opioid crisis. Despite the clear need to battle this ongoing epidemic with all of the tools at our disposal, one evidence-proven option—supervised injection facilities—is being overlooked and even disparaged.\n\nBack in the spring, the Massachusetts Medical Society began advocating for the establishment of a pilot supervised injection facility in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was not an easy decision because physicians don’t want to condone, or to be seen as condoning, the use of illicit drugs. Yet after close review and thorough debate, it was clear that the data supported their use.\n\nA supervised injection facility is a safe, clean space where individuals can inject drugs they already possess under the supervision of trained medical staff. The facilities also offer sterile injection equipment. The advantage is that medical expertise is immediately present in case an emergency occurs. At the same time, these on-site clinicians can facilitate pathways to treatment and rehabilitation from the chronic disease of opioid abuse disorder.\n\nSuch sites provide an alternative to dangerous injection tactics like syringe sharing, syringe reuse, and improper disposal of soiled injection materials, all of which can lead to infection with HIV and hepatitis C, as well as other painful and hard-to-treat infections that can attack the heart, bones, and other organs.\n\nAs a physician and president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, I was initially inclined to oppose the concept of supervised injection facilities. How, I thought, could a health care professional, someone grounded in ethics and an oath to “do no harm,” stand by and watch as individuals inject street drugs into their veins?\n\nYet the opioid crisis and the frightening rate at which it has accelerated doesn’t allow for the outright dismissal of this idea—or any others—that could have prevented even one of the more than 60,000 deaths caused by drug overdoses in the United States last year.\n\nAs a health care professional, I can’t stand idly by with the knowledge that a better way exists for reaching and caring for those suffering from the disease of addiction. We can’t allow individuals to die cruel deaths alone in alleyways or under the cover of darkness in public parks.\n\nThe concept of supervised injection facilities fits well with the overarching and proven public health philosophy of harm reduction: meeting patients where they are in their disease to eliminate existing barriers to rehabilitation.\n\nWith lives being lost each day from all segments of our society, dealing in theoretical solutions can be counterproductive. Fortunately, supervised injection facilities operating in other parts of the world have yielded substantial and evidence-backed reductions of death, disease, and expenditures.\n\nTo better understand the utility of these facilities, the Massachusetts Medical Society created a task force to examine the evidence for and against supervised injection facilities.

As the retinal cells transmit information up to the brain, the signal is continually refined, but it never physically resembles the objects that you \"see.\" Introductory psychology books unfortunately perpetuate this myth by showing the object facing the eye appearing upside down on the back of the retina. In actuality, we construct the images we see in our world by putting together the data in the higher regions of the brain, not the back of the eye.\n\nThe infamous murder of Kitty Genovese in March of 1964, which occurred in front of dozens of passive bystanders, stimulated research by social psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latane to investigate the theory of \"diffusion of responsibility.\" Darley and Latane's research showed that the larger the number of bystanders, the less likely any one person is to help. However, the true Genovese story didn't play out quite as described in most introductory psychology books. In fact, many people tried to help and were unable to do so due to the fact that the deadly assault did not take place right in front of them. Although there still is validity to the bystander effect, its origins in this case are more mythical than real.\n\nDenial is often portrayed as a bad way to cope with stress. We are frequently told to get a grip on reality as a way to handle our problems, but this is only sometimes true. When a situation is unchangeable, you are better off using a so-called \"emotion-focused\" coping strategy, such as focusing on the positive or pushing the situation out of your consciousness. If someone has stolen a prized possession of yours, and you know there is no way to get it back, your mood will only worsen if you ruminate over the experience. However, if a situation is changeable, then it would be a bad idea to ignore it. If you know who took your possession, but are afraid to confront this person, you could use \"problem-focused coping.\" This would involve developing a plan in which you come up with possible strategies, evaluate them, and then put one of them into place. There is no one best way to cope with stress, so you are best off if you flexibly adapt to the situation by using denial (or other ways to feel better) or taking action.\n\nThe phenomenon of déjà vu refers to feeling like you've seen something before that you have not. People who experience déjà vu think that they have special psychic powers. You may feel that you've seen a situation you're in now at an earlier time (such as in a dream), and that you're therefore operating on some type of precognition. However, most people's déjà vu experiences reflect faulty \"source memory.\" Perhaps you've had this feeling when you've ordered coffee from your local barista. You're sure this has happened to you in a dream and now it is happening in real life. However, the chances are that the situation is just close enough to real experiences you've had many times before that it's simply an old memory whose source you can no longer place.

Amy Evans, M.D., a pediatrician in Fresno, California, with a subspecialty in breastfeeding, told me that at least 5% of women have medical conditions that make breastfeeding extremely difficult or impossible. These conditions include insufficient glandular tissue and breast hypoplasia, which is what I have—breasts with underdeveloped ducts that simply lack the apparatus to create an adequate milk supply. Hypoplastic breasts have some identifiable characteristics, such as fullness on the sides but not in the middle, yet not one person I consulted ever mentioned this condition or even examined my breasts. I learned about it from a friend who heard about it on Facebook, and I had to seek out a breastfeeding specialist to confirm it.\n\nI do understand the fervor of lactation consultants, midwives, and other medical and lay professionals to delay a diagnosis of failure. After all, most women struggle tremendously with breastfeeding in the weeks after giving birth. It is painful, the latch might not come naturally, and sometimes milk supply is simply delayed. Todd Wolynn, M.D., who is both a lactation consultant and a pediatrician in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, told me that almost all women can successfully breastfeed if they get adequate support in the first week, when the learning curve is sharpest.\n\nI also understand that breastfeeding needs to be marketed just as zealously as formula-feeding to counteract the power and reach that formula companies have. Every breastfeeding mother is one less customer for them, so they have ingenious marketing methods to get and keep you hooked on their products. Until recently, when some cities enacted bans, hospitals would give you free formula just as your breastfeeding frustration began. Formula-feeding is a heck of a lot easier, if more expensive, so breastfeeding advocates have to try extra hard to help women surmount the trials of those first weeks and provide enough support to make it work.\n\nExcept that sometimes it just doesn't. In my case, what should have been support was actually ignorance and pressure—pressure that left my child starving for a week—accompanied by shame, guilt, and fear. Lactation consultants took my money, hundreds of dollars of it, and never told me what my pediatrician uttered immediately in her judgment-free and matter-of-fact way: It ain't gonna happen.\n\nI don't mean to villainize lactation consultants and midwives. They perform an important function in modern American society. In addition to their medical training, they are the keepers of a kind of folk knowledge that got lost during the better-living-through-chemistry era of the 1950s, when powdered, cow's milk-based Similac (\"similar to lactation\") made its entrance to the scene and to the hospital, changing baby feeding as we know it. The medical world has taken over what was once women's work, with much information lost in the shift.

The appalling Games Workshop Great Unclean One (GUO) mixed with the equally appalling and expensive Forge World GUO gave me my first project: building \"Papa Nurgle.\"\n\nI had a few specific requirements for the model. He had to be fat—super fat, but still muscular looking, with the Marvel character Kingpin as my inspiration. He needed one big leering eye staring in the direction he was casting his filthy spells, coupled with a mutated little mong eye. He also had to have a mouth of gnashing, gnarly teeth. The overall aesthetic was to be a mix of guts, blood, pus, poo, maggots, and pimples.\n\nStarting with a wooden skewer and Plastiscene for a cheap and malleable base, I began coating it bit by bit in Apoxie Sculpt, adding basic detail where I could. I then used Green Stuff for finer details. The horns are Dryad Branches, the teeth are plastic toothpicks, and the hands I stole from a Soulgrinder and a Predator toy I had (since I am new at this, sculpting hands was off the cards). I also added some little bits and pieces, like a decapitated head nipple ring, a Nurgle bell on the sword, and a little nurgling hiding in his guts.\n\nFrom behind, the model features an anal growth, as well as an embedded maggot nest from the Plaguebearer sprue, with a few scratch-built ones crawling to spread Nurgle's Rot.\n\nThis might just be the beer talking, but I love beer.

You have given strong voice to the need for us to work toward a better, more diverse, and more inclusive Yale. You have offered me the opportunity to listen to and learn from you.\"\n\nBut employing the multiculturalist dog whistles \"diverse\" and \"inclusive,\" and flattering self-righteous entitled whiners by anointing them as Socratic sages, are just preludes to the real business: doling out academic protection money.\n\nRace, ethnicity, and other aspects of social identity are central issues of our era, issues that should be a focus of particularly intense study at a great university.

Recent events across the country have made clear that now is the time to develop such a transformative, multidisciplinary center drawing on expertise from across Yale's schools; it will be launched this year and will have significant resources for both programming and staff.\n\nAnd that's just the beginning of the payola. Four new faculty positions will be filled to research and teach the \"histories, lives, and cultures of unrepresented and under-represented communities,\" and Yale will add \"additional teaching staff and courses in Yale College starting in spring 2016 that address these topics.\" Fifty million dollars is committed to \"enhance faculty diversity,\" by which he means hiring not the children of Scots-Irish West Virginia coal-miners, but \"protected\" groups like blacks and \"Hispanics\" no matter how affluent their parents or how laden with social capital.\n\nBut this academic Santa Clause is just getting started. There will be a new administrative position created to help the Faculty of Arts and Science in its \"diversity efforts.\" Yale will make \"funds available to improve existing programs and develop new ones — both during orientation periods and beyond — that explore diversity and inclusion and provide tools for open conversations in all parts of the university about these issues. Programs may take the form of trainings, speaker series, or other ongoing activities.\" New \"pathways\" for reporting discrimination, and new \"measures to strengthen mechanisms that address discrimination\" will be created with significant \"input\" from students.\n\nBut not just faculty, staff, and administrators will profit from this blood money.\n\nFinancial aid policies for low-income students in Yale College, the subject of a spring 2015 report by the Yale College Council, will also see improvements beginning in the next academic year.

This story was made in the Silver Age and sounds like it has a silly gimmick, but it is still great. The story is that Batman finds an old tape, his father's diary, and a Batman costume, and discovers (after watching the tape) that it was worn by Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne, during a costume party. After finding out that crime boss Lew Moxon kidnapped Batman's father at the costume party, which ultimately amounted to Lew ordering a hit on Thomas Wayne by hiring a certain Joe Chill, Batman decides to open the Wayne murder case once again to bring Lew Moxon to justice.

Harvard University researchers believe the brain contains a second \"feeding clock\" that tracks meal times rather than daytime. When food is scarce, this feeding clock overrides the master clock, keeping animals awake until they find food. Consequently, shift workers and travelers might be able to keep tiredness at bay by fasting, according to a study published in the journal Science.\n\nOur daily sleep cycles, behavior, and metabolism are governed by a powerful master clock located in an area of the brain known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Disruption of these circadian rhythms has been linked to insomnia, depression, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. This circadian clock is highly sensitive to daylight. However, scientists have been aware for several years of a second \"feeding\" clock that is sensitive to our eating patterns.\n\nTo understand the relationship between the two clocks, a Harvard team studied mice missing a key clock gene, Bmal1. By restoring this gene to different parts of the brain one at a time, they were able to pinpoint the \"feeding clock\" to an area of the hypothalamus known as the dorsomedial nucleus. Furthermore, by observing the mice's behavior, they found that the \"feeding clock\" could supersede the circadian master clock, keeping the mice awake until they had the opportunity to eat.\n\nLead researcher Clifford Saper suggested that travelers and shift workers may be able to use the feeding clock to adapt to changes in time zones and night-time schedules, which often leave them feeling groggy and jet-lagged. \"If, for example, you are traveling from the US to Japan, you are forced to adjust to an 11-hour time difference,\" Saper explained. \"Because the body's biological clock can only shift a small amount each day, it takes the average person about a week to adjust to the new time zone. And, by then, it's often time to turn around and come home.\"\n\nA period of fasting with no food at all for about 16 hours is enough to engage this new clock. \"So, in this case, simply avoiding any food on the plane, and then eating as soon as you land, should help you to adjust and avoid some of the uncomfortable feelings of jet lag,\" Saper noted.\n\nDr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at Norwich University Hospital, said the discovery was \"potentially very beneficial\" to travelers and people who work unsociable hours. \"It's never going to make the symptoms disappear entirely, but it could certainly make them a lot more manageable,\" he said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7812, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "53be2c4df260b11d0401ec4af17e11743b14ea68", "raw_chars": 2279, "clean_chars": 2314, "edit_ratio": 0.1557, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "One thing is clear: the optics coming out of the Romney administration are disastrous, and arresting reporters certainly won't help.

Some babies are born bottom-first due to genetic traits inherited from either their mother or father, according to Norwegian researchers. Fewer than one in twenty babies is delivered this way, but a natural breech birth carries extra risks for the child. A study of 387,000 births, published in the British Medical Journal, found that a baby had double the chance of being breech if their mother or father was too.\n\nMervi Jokinen of the Royal College of Midwives noted that as many as one in four babies are in the wrong position at the mid-point of pregnancy, but all but 3% or 4% are head-down by the time they are delivered. The precise reasons why a baby might be in the breech position are not fully known, although the anatomy of the mother, particularly the shape of her womb, can play a strong role. Babies are designed to be born head-first, and coming out the other way increases the chance of breathing problems at the moment of delivery. For this reason, many women with full-term breech babies opt for caesarean sections.\n\nThe researchers from the University of Bergen looked at the records of more than 387,000 parents and their first-born children born between 1967 and 2004. They found an identical increase in risk passed from both male and female parents born in the breech position. While a mother might be able to pass on the increased risk through inherited differences in her physical makeup, any risk passed from a father raises the possibility of a genetic trait carried by the baby rather than the mother.\n\nHowever, other specialists say the picture is less clear. Professor Janet Hardy, from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, said that there could be a separate, undetected factor that was increasing the chance of a breech birth in these families. She said, \"Clinicians should continue to gather information during early prenatal care on maternal and paternal birth presentation and other potential risk factors for breech delivery.\"\n\nMervi Jokinen, from the Royal College of Midwives, said the findings were \"intriguing.\" \"We always tend to ask mothers if they know how they were delivered, and some midwives will ask the partners as well, just to record this in the notes,\" she said. \"But on the whole, women should not be too concerned about the possibility of a breech baby, as long as she is receiving proper ante-natal care.\"\n\nHenry Annan, a spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said that having a breech delivery approximately doubled the risks of complications to the baby. \"Having a breech baby does increase the dangers, although, with proper management, the chances are that the baby will be born healthy,\" he said. \"I think a lot of parents will be unaware of whether they were born breech or not, but this is still an interesting study.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7814, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3686586292f5961545406f6f8b8702ae8715d1b9", "raw_chars": 3354, "clean_chars": 3353, "edit_ratio": 0.0004, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In any event, let’s return to the issue of whether capitalism is akin to a toxic brand. Maybe one problem here is the word “capitalism” and what it evokes in the aftermath of the Great Recession and Wall Street bailout. Maybe “capitalism” really isn’t the right word for the free enterprise system, the deep magic that has made America the richest, most powerful nation on Earth. Indeed, wherever and whenever there’s been a bit of economic freedom, amazing things have happened — from Europe in the 1800s to China and India in the late 20th century. …Maybe millennials aren’t capitalists as much as they are “innovists” or “innovationists.” They believe the same dynamic economic system that created those amazing panes of internet-connected glass in their pockets will also create a better world.\n\nIt galls me that young people blame capitalism for the financial crisis. Have they ever heard of the Federal Reserve? Or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?\n\nBlaming capitalism for the recent mess is like blaming the Red Cross for tornadoes. Sounds like millennials don’t know the difference between capitalism and cronyism.\n\nBut I’m digressing again. Time to get back to the central topic. Elizabeth Nolan Brown weighs in with a column for Reason.\n\n…this new poll finds young people torn between “capitalism” and “socialism,” with perhaps little—or, to be more charitable, an ahistorical—understanding of what either means.\n\nI definitely agree with her than millennials are confused about what these terms mean.\n\nBut grousing about their lack of knowledge doesn’t solve the problem. But maybe we can make progress if we learn why young people think the way they do.\n\n…words—especially big, emotionally-laden words describing controversial or complicated concepts—connote different things to different people. When pollsters probe young people further about socialism and capitalism, they tend to find that respondents don’t have clear concepts of these economic philosophies. To many millennials, “socialism” doesn’t mean a government-managed economy but something like what we have now, only with more subsidized health care, student-loan forgiveness, and mandatory paid parental leave. …”Capitalism,” meanwhile, doesn’t simply mean private, for-profit enterprise. …Capitalism is Big Banks, Wall Street, “income inequality,” greed. It’s wealthy sociopaths screwing over the little guy, Bernie Madoff, and horrifying sweatshops in China. …However incomplete or caricatured, these are the narratives of capitalism that millennials have grown up with.\n\nShe basically comes to the same conclusion as Pethokoukis.\n\nWe certainly need to consider whether and how the word can be reclaimed, or if we’re better served talking about the “market economy,” “private enterprise,” “free trade,” or “entrepreneurship.” Millennials love the word entrepreneur… Unlike anti-capitalists of yore, young people today don’t seem to see a tension between turning a profit and living righteously. …As John Della Volpe, polling director at Harvard, puts it, millennials aren’t “rejecting the concept” of capitalism. “The way in which capitalism is practiced, in the minds of young people—that’s what they’re rejecting.”\n\nIndeed, she shares some 2014 polling data that shows there is 2-1 support for free markets, which is significantly better than the level of support for capitalism.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7838, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "98d8422ae805d196e26e5e2e0bb3e312c7a7552e", "raw_chars": 989, "clean_chars": 1097, "edit_ratio": 0.7239, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We have made finding moments for mindfulness easier than ever with Exhale, our new mindfulness game.

She modeled this review on the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review. That Pentagon-style review spurred the creation of the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations to \"advance the U.S. government's foreign policy goals in conflict areas.\"\n\nAccording to a Congressional Research Service analysis, the initial intent of the Conflict Bureau was to replace the ineffectual Office of the Coordinator of Reconstruction and Stabilization, which was created in 2004 to help manage \"stabilization\" efforts in two nations the U.S. was actively destabilizing: Afghanistan and Iraq.\n\nBut the new, improved bureau does more than just react to messes made by unlawful invasions or direct costly remediation efforts in war zones. It also collaborates with \"relevant partners\" in the Department of Defense and NATO \"to harmonize civilian and military plans and operations pertaining to conflict prevention, crisis response, and stabilization.\"\n\nThis integrated relationship between State and Defense was confirmed by U.S. Special Operations chief Admiral William McRaven shortly after Hillary's speech. When asked about the \"unlikely partnership,\" McRaven assured DefenseNews that SOCOM has \"an absolutely magnificent relationship with the State Department\" and that SOCOM doesn't \"do anything that isn't absolutely fully coordinated and approved by the U.S. ambassador and the geographic combatant commander.\"\n\nAs David Axe aptly described it in Wired, \"Together, Special Operations Forces and State's new Conflict Bureau are the twin arms of an expanding institution for waging small, low-intensity shadow wars all over the world.\"\n\nIn fact, during Hillary's time as America's chief diplomat, the State Department embraced the shadowy edge of U.S. foreign policy where decision-makers engage in activities that look like war, sound like war, and, if you were to ask civilians in places like Yemen and Pakistan, feel a lot like war, but never quite have to meet the Constitutional requirement of being officially declared as war.\n\nThe Whole-of-Government Shift\n\nOnce upon a time, \"low-intensity shadow wars\" were the Congressionally regulated bailiwick of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Whether or not Congressional Republicans find anything more than incompetence at the root of the Benghazi incident, the US military certainly finds itself in a \"new normal\" of increased activity in response to the forces and weaponry unleashed by US-led regime change in Libya. According to Turse, the US is \"now conducting operations alongside almost every African military in almost every African country and averaging more than a mission a day.\"\n\nThose missions are, of course, integrated with and augmented by the State Department's Conflict Bureau, which has used a variety of state-building programs and its diplomatic \"pass key\" in places like Libya, Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and six other African nations, all to develop a growing roster of \"host country partners.\"\n\nEstablishing \"host country partners\" is the nexus where the State Department, its Conflict Bureau, and AFRICOM meet—implementing the Whole-of-Government strategy in emerging or current conflict zones to fuse a mounting counter-terrorism campaign with stabilization, modernization, and state-building initiatives, particularly in oil and resource-rich areas like the Niger River Delta, Central Africa, and around AFRICOM's military foothold on the Horn of Africa.\n\nAs Richard J.

Forty years after the second wave, the standstill is obvious. Western women remain largely stuck in middle management and pink-collar ghettos. A small fraction of elite women enjoy fabulous careers, supported by the low-wage childcare and domestic work of other women. In news coverage, women remain pegged at about 15% of bylines and subjects. They run no more than 5% of Fortune 500 companies. The wage gap has narrowed by a few points, but men still out-earn women by about twenty percentage points for the same work. Men do a few hours more domestic work a week than they used to.\n\nLegally, the gains are stronger. Abortion rights and equal access laws are established in most Western countries. Recently in the US, however, a new legislative push to subject women to intrusive vaginal ultrasound scans if they contemplate abortion has come into play. Many European countries have daycare and family leave, but not the US. Rape and sexual harassment are almost never prosecuted successfully; only 6-12% of reported rapes in the UK and the US ever go to trial at all. The mainstream media are more filled than ever with rigid fashion and beauty ideals.\n\nData for anorexia and bulimia in the West are static. Young Western women report less and less interest in identifying themselves with the F-word—feminism. They say that the movement seems a relic of their mothers' era: humorless, sexless, hostile to men, and judgmental of young women. There is a lot of exciting new online publishing activity, from Feministing to Bust to Bitch, but the next generation still lacks strong institutions or a clear feminist political agenda.\n\nThe malaise is widespread. In 2009, sociologist Marcus Buckingham reported that since second-wave feminism, women in the West who \"have it all\" have become actually less satisfied. The most educated, privileged, and affluent women I know—women whose lives give them a million great \"choices,\" that buzzword of \"our\" feminism—do not generally say they are happy. They feel a vague sense of lack of fulfillment: \"Is that all there is?\"\n\nThis stasis has to do with a flaw in how we in the West see \"feminism,\" where we are raised to believe that the feminism we inherit \"is\" feminism. But I argue that it is just one of several possible intellectual framings of feminism, and it is not necessarily the best of the choices for us for this historical moment. \"Our\" feminism descends from three main sources: the 19th-century ideal of the \"Angel in the House,\" existentialism, and advanced capitalism.

At the time, Angela Merkel, then the general secretary of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), wrote a guest column in the Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung urging Kohl to disclose more information about the payments. This move was widely seen as the end of their previously amicable partnership. In the article, Merkel wrote that it was time for the CDU to \"learn to stand on its feet\" without Kohl, arguing that the chancellor's silence during the scandal had damaged the party.\n\nWalter Kohl remarked, \"As an experienced politician, Mrs. Merkel knew she was starting an avalanche that would also damage our mother and our family.\" He added that Merkel never asked that Helmut Kohl's family be spared from the spotlight, despite knowing that Hannelore Kohl was suffering from a severe allergy to light.\n\nAccording to Walter Kohl, Merkel's behavior during the scandal was \"sleazy,\" a sentiment compounded by the fact that she and his mother had become friends. \"His mother became persona non grata. For her, it was even worse because she felt betrayed by Merkel,\" Kohl said. He emphasized that while his father likely contributed to escalating the donation affair, his decision to speak out now is driven by something more fundamental: \"Angela Merkel's behavior in a party power struggle.\"\n\nThe scandal ultimately led to Helmut Kohl's removal from his position as head of the CDU. He never revealed the source of the money despite intense pressure, and the affair paved the way for Merkel to turn on her mentor and assume leadership of the party in 2000. Kohl maintained that breaking his silence would harm the party, even though at the beginning of the scandal, Merkel had spoken within the party about protecting Helmut Kohl and his family for their contributions.\n\nWalter Kohl and his brother have not spoken to their father for years. A book Walter published in 2011 detailed the struggles he faced growing up as the son of Germany's longest-serving chancellor. In the ZEITmagazin interview, Walter Kohl described his father's 2016 visit with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, one of Merkel's most vocal critics regarding her refugee policy, as out of character. \"He's not who he was with the things he says today,\" Walter Kohl said. \"The Helmut Kohl of old would never have given an autocrat like Orban such a friendly reception.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7869, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "ad7c87ddade7db363489751dd20e647b0e1faf29", "raw_chars": 2259, "clean_chars": 2273, "edit_ratio": 0.1328, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Would the Tesla system help him? A little bit.

The black dotted lines illustrate the difference that batteries make: in the middle of the day, Darryl is not exporting to the grid because he has charged his batteries by lunchtime. He then uses the battery to cover the evening peaks, effectively shifting them to later in the evening.\n\nOf course, this is not to say that battery storage doesn't pay dividends. Any installer will tell you that whether you install solar or storage, it is best to look at your energy consumption. Find ways of being more efficient, and in Darryl's case, he would be best advised to funnel more consumption, via timers, during the day.

Since the vessel has not been used to transport fuel since its most recent trip in 2009, Kono has included it in the review. Between 2010 and 2014, the cost of its upkeep totalled just under 5.8 billion yen, and its projected costs to 2031 would see an additional 18.1 billion yen spent on it. The ship has been featured in recent television broadcasts, including a TBS broadcast on November 9, and has been covered by the Japanese Wall Street Journal, the Tokyo Shimbun, and other national and local press. Kono has skillfully chosen a striking symbol of extravagance for review.\n\nAn additional nuclear-related facility targeted by Kono’s review is the Recycle Equipment Test Facility (RETF). This is yet another costly and risky element of Japan’s controversial accumulation of infrastructures and programs to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. The RETF’s construction began in January 1995, and it has received tens of billions of yen in investment even though it has not been used. Precisely 20 years ago, Shaun Burnie, a senior nuclear campaigner with Greenpeace Germany, warned that the true importance of the RETF, and the great risk it poses, is that it and the facilities that will follow will give Japan access to plutonium that is even purer than weapons-grade. The reason for this is that the plutonium produced in the uranium blanket of fast breeder reactors and reprocessed by the operators is what is called supergrade. With a large-scale deployment of fast breeder reactors in Japan, and the reprocessing facilities to support the reactors, large quantities of weapons-grade material will be available for non-peaceful use.\n\nIn their 2010 book In Defence of Japan: From the Market to the Military and Space Policy, Saadia M. Pekkanen, a professor at the University of Washington, and Paul Kallender-Umezu, a PhD candidate at Keio University, cite Burnie, showing that his concern remains quite relevant. Indeed, they add to the warning by emphasizing that the point about supergrade plutonium is that very little is required to produce nuclear warheads—possibly 800 to 900 grams—and it is thus especially suitable for miniaturized nuclear warheads like MRIV-type ICBMs.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7868, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "f050adef397f8b2c98f4639d2535bba899c21b0d", "raw_chars": 3218, "clean_chars": 2775, "edit_ratio": 0.751, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The cross of the crucifixion, referred to as 'tselav' or 'tsel-2', represents the world of duality. As discussed in 'The Exodus and Crucifixion and How it Applies to You!', this duality concludes as '90-lev', marking the birth of the heart. It symbolizes a process of growth on a lower level.\n\nSuccessfully completing this lower-level process enables an individual to engage in a higher-level process. In doing so, they can become a great help to others who remain stuck at the bottom of their cycle, providing the push needed to continue ascending, even guiding them through the initial upward phase. This is not a role reserved for Jesus or Moses alone; it applies to figures like Nelson Mandela and Gandhi, and indeed to each of us.\n\nThe Star of David also brings to mind the story of Jesus' birth according to Matthew. In the birth register, Jesus is portrayed as the son of David and is born in Bethlehem, the city of David. The three wise men who visit him after his birth are alerted to the event by a star. Why should this not be the Star of David?\n\nThe name 'Star of David' emphasizes the meaning and importance of the process this symbol represents. By mentioning the star, the three wise men indicate that they understand the significance of the child's birth. Through the gifts they bring, they inform his parents of his future task and what his life will entail.\n\nThe three gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—are called 'zahav', 'levonah', and 'mor' in Hebrew. Gold ('zahav', 7-5-2) is the first and most precious of metals, symbolizing the spirit and the essence of man. Its numerical value is fourteen, which again appears as the symbol of action, corresponding to the integrating and balancing principle of David (4-6-4).\n\nFrankincense ('levonah', 30-2-6-50-5) symbolizes the heart ('lev') and love. The number six connects to fifty, which symbolizes higher awareness and is the fourteenth character of the Hebrew alphabet, while the final five represents the longing for reunion and the integration of counterparts. Myrrh ('mor', 40-200) is the same word as 'mar', meaning bitter. It symbolizes the bitterness that must be endured before growth can occur, leading to what can be considered sweet ('tamar', '400-mar', date).\n\nCollectively, these gifts symbolize the totality of experiences Jesus must undergo during his life before his resurrection and ascension. On another level, they also represent the process we must go through before the Christ can be born within us.\n\nI now wish to examine some of the symbols in the Garden of Eden. \"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil\" (Genesis 2:9).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7876, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "956562b4837e3aae7658ab58e6eb807f7f8fe59c", "raw_chars": 3154, "clean_chars": 3105, "edit_ratio": 0.9716, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Another time, a student attempted a handstand during sun salutes and nearly crashed into the student in front of her. I immediately announced to the class that we were practicing Warrior I, not handstands, and emphasized that in a large class, everyone needed to be mindful of their neighbors. I asked them to refrain from inverting, especially those in the middle of the room. To my relief, they listened. That particular student did not invert again and instead followed my cues and sequence. In that moment, I realized I needed to stop being the \"nice\" teacher and take control of the room. I established clear rules: if students did not like them, they were welcome to find another instructor.\n\nThe lesson learned was to set guidelines, be firm, and always ensure students feel safe. It is better to be the instructor who prioritizes safety than the \"cool, nice teacher\" who lacks control. You are the teacher, and you set the rules.\n\nYoga teachers often remind students to slow down, calm the mind, and ground themselves. This advice applies equally to the instructor. I had to learn how to remain calm and balanced during my classes, even when it felt like the roomful of students disliked me. Meditating before class helped, as did reminding myself that I was a fairly new instructor still learning, and that was perfectly okay. Regardless of my experience level, I had valuable things to share with my students.\n\nYou are enough, and you will attract the students you are meant to teach.\n\nYour teaching style may not resonate with everyone, and that is perfectly fine. There are different styles of yoga for a reason. Each student needs to find a class and a teacher that resonate with them, just as each instructor needs to find a teaching space and students they can connect with. Be true to yourself and find your own unique voice. You do not need to be a copy of someone else. You are enough, and you will attract the students you are meant to teach.\n\nIf you ever encounter unmanageable students—those who ignore your instructions, perform their own sequences in front of the room, or give you attitude—do not take it personally. Remember that you never truly know what is going on in your students' personal lives. They could be having a bad day, going through a breakup, or stressed from their job. None of these things has anything to do with you. Whatever arises during class, whether good, bad, or ugly, approach it with compassion, remain an observer, and then let it go. I know this is easier said than done, particularly if you are new to teaching.\n\nFor some people, it is easy not to take things personally; others, like me, have a tendency to take things to heart. If you fall into the latter category, it is important to have a strong support system when moments like these arise. Try not to react to the students in class or get into your head too much while you teach. Wait until you are home, and then process your thoughts and emotions through journaling, meditating, or speaking with a friend or mentor.\n\nYour students do not care how much you know; they care how much you care.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7881, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "43037fb7d80f67eb0b656b3116de0bd5c0eaf2e5", "raw_chars": 2520, "clean_chars": 2507, "edit_ratio": 0.0925, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This is because time slows down for you as you get closer to the speed of light, and at that speed, it completely stops. This is also another reason why nothing can go faster than light. It would be like slowing down a car to a stop, and then trying to go slower than completely stopped.\n\nOne should think of the speed of light as 'infinite speed'. A common misconception is thinking the speed of light is just like any other finite speed. The speed of light is only finite from the perspective of an outside observer; from the perspective of a photon, it is infinite. If you move at exactly the speed of light, you could go anywhere, no matter how far, in exactly zero seconds.\n\nCan light be slowed down?\n\nThere is at least one real-world example of superluminal (faster than light) travel. It is a bit of a cheat, but it occurs when light passes through water.\n\nRemember, nothing can go faster than 186,282 miles per second, but the photons that normally travel at that speed can be slowed down. An example of this can be seen in water, where light is slowed to three-fourths of its normal speed.\n\nIn nuclear reactors, the charged particles emitted from radioactive rods as they pass through the water they are submerged in exceed this reduced speed.\n\nBecause these particles contain an electric charge, they emit energy called Cherenkov radiation. Any particles they bump into become radioactive, giving the water an eerie, mysterious blue glow.\n\nSo what is the speed of gravity?\n\nIt is an interesting question that many people may not think about. Does gravity also have a speed, and if so, what is it?\n\nGravity does, in fact, have a speed. The speed of gravity is technically the same as the speed of light. The reason for this speed is the same reason why light travels at the speed it does. It is simply a fundamental property of spacetime itself. If the Sun were to disappear right this instant, the Earth would continue its orbit for 8 minutes—the time it takes light to reach Earth from the Sun—before the orbit would be perturbed by the Sun's absence.\n\nSo to sum up, nothing can travel faster than light because the speed of light can be thought of as infinite speed. To match or exceed it would be to go infinity miles per second or hour. A loophole does, in fact, exist, however. The loophole requires a control or warping of the fabric of spacetime itself, which we have touched on in a previous article.\n\nPhotos are available under a Creative Commons Attribution license by Wikimedia Commons.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7886, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "8759f3a563ca43651f88b1bb82724380fb80ef4d", "raw_chars": 3198, "clean_chars": 3194, "edit_ratio": 0.0094, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A further problem, given the wide extent of corruption in the police, the healthcare system, and the education sector where salaries are very low, is that the number of beneficiaries of illegal blat payments remains very large. In many cases, this extra cash is vital for supporting families and extended communities. The result is that there is little appetite in these parts of society for a war on petty corruption. The expectation instead is that the state should stamp out excessive high-level corruption. For Ukraine’s reformers, this poses a dilemma: tackling low-level corruption is easier than trying to eradicate high-level graft, yet this risks being socially disruptive if not accompanied by salary increases for poorly paid public-sector workers. At the same time, the lack of progress in addressing entrenched high-level corruption increases social discontent and support for populist forces.\n\nA Ukrainian government diagnostic study of high-level corruption, prepared with the assistance of the IMF in 2014, put in sharp relief the problems for Ukraine’s reformers. It noted the ‘pyramidal’ nature of state capture permeating the government system, featuring ‘powerful well-known elites at the top, heads of agencies in the middle and agency staff at the base’. The report described how these groups were able to control appointments in the public sector, ensure the application of regulations in line with their interests, and restrict public access to information.\n\nAnalysing the structure of corruption, the study also noted ‘a strong view that corrupt public officials often work in concert across public agencies to intimidate, harass, conduct corporate raiding and to extract bribes’. Among the agencies perceived as most corrupt, it singled out the tax administration, the police, the PGO, the State Enforcement Service and the judiciary. Among the courts, it identified the commercial courts as the worst offenders.\n\nIt is clear that the fusion of money and power since independence in 1991 transformed the role of Ukraine’s law enforcement institutions, so that their original task of protecting the Soviet system from within became one of supporting criminal activity by the new economic and political elites. Organized crime became synonymous with the functioning of the state.\n\nThis pattern extended into the judiciary, as external influence over the appointment of judges became prevalent. In some cases, positions were offered for sale by those involved in state capture. Representatives of such interest groups also sold prosecutorial appointments and other roles in the state system.\n\nAlthough other transition countries in the region have encountered similar problems, there is no precedent for managing them in a country as large as Ukraine. At regional level, organized crime is deeply enmeshed with political and business interests, encouraging politicians and businesspeople to buy influence in Kyiv that can help them to assert control locally. A regional prosecutor – through close cooperation with the chairman of the regional court and the chief of regional police – is often the real source of power at regional level, rather than the regional governor.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7889, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7c379324fbf882efbfc81be5454dc107afeebc28", "raw_chars": 1588, "clean_chars": 1602, "edit_ratio": 0.358, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Orlando police are investigating the killing of a violent felon, a shooting they say may have been justified.

Before long, his unconventional style became a fashion statement in the royal court, with most of the king's men adopting the elaborate hairpieces, whether they were bald or not.\n\nWith France being the center of European culture in the 17th century, anything that was sexy in France quickly spread to the rest of Europe. As aristocrats tried to outdo one another, the wigs, called perukes or periwigs, became more and more fabulous. This led to the creation of a whole industry of wig-makers, who established their own guild in 1665. The wigs became such a part of the culture that you had to wear a wig to move upward in society. By the late 1700s, men were pouring a starch-based powder over their wigs to make them as white as possible.\n\nThe wig craze died in England when the government sensed a money-making opportunity and imposed a hefty tax on hair powder. At the same time, a minor incident in France called the French Revolution made it kind of uncool to be seen in public wearing a symbol of the aristocracy. But until then, the peruke phenomenon had been one of the most long-standing and weirdest fashion crazes in European history.

So far there are gains, but it is \"the privileged few who have a monopoly on certain sectors [who] are making out like bandits.\"\n\nThe North Korean people appear ready for change. Victor Cha of Georgetown University contrasted the new leadership using imagery of founder Kim Il-sung to lead a \"great leap backwards\" with \"a society that is slowly and fitfully opening up.\" Returning refugees and regime elites spread information about the outside world. DVDs of Chinese and South Korean television programs circulate; some observers describe a \"mania\" for South Korean culture. A million North Koreans own cell phones. Famine forced many people into the black market to survive. Ever fewer believe DPRK mythology that they live in a world of plenty compared to an impoverished South Korea.\n\nThe regime is aware of the risks of liberalization and has embarked upon what author Scott Thomas Bruce called \"the 'mosquito net' strategy,\" meaning that Pyongyang will allow foreign investment in the North while blocking potentially harmful news and culture from the outside world. This strategy is risky, since the multi-headed genie cannot easily be put back into the bottle. Indeed, the regime has tightened border enforcement along the Yalu and enhanced punishment of would-be refugees, targeting their families as well. Nevertheless, Kim's rhetoric may raise expectations without yielding results, setting the stage for further unrest.\n\nThere has been no change in foreign policy. Although the party appears to have reasserted its authority over the military, there has been no retreat from the regime's \"military first\" emphasis. Missile development continues, construction is proceeding on a new nuclear reactor, and rumors are circulating of an impending nuclear test. Rhetoric toward the South has grown even more bellicose. Kim Jong-un has reemphasized his grandfather's ideology of Juche, or self-reliance, declaring: \"Peace is important. But more important is the principle of self-reliance.\" In October the regime issued an alert for a semi-state of war.\n\nThrough it all China has strongly supported the regime. Shortly after Kim Jong-il's death the PRC provided additional shipments of oil and food to aid the new regime. Trade in January was reportedly up over the preceding year. When I visited Dandong, China earlier this year, a constant stream of traffic flowed across the Yalu into the DPRK. The planned special trade zones would deliver even more resources to Pyongyang.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7916, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c105dab3f5826b062cc0704251c8f73b07c333cf", "raw_chars": 2199, "clean_chars": 2185, "edit_ratio": 0.0333, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Uranium explorer Azincourt Energy (TSX-V:AAZ) announced that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with New Age Metals (TSX.V:NAM) to acquire up to a 100% interest in five lithium exploration projects located in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field in Manitoba, a province in the Canadian prairies.\n\nThe agreement covers the Lithium One, Lithium Two, Lithman West, Lithman East, and Lithman North projects.

Resembling its predecessor, the Fiat G.91, the G.91Y was actually a complete redesign. A major difference was its twin engines, replacing the original single engine.\n\nThe G.91Y was an increased-performance version of the Fiat G.91, funded by the Italian government. Based on the G.91T two-seat trainer variant, the single Bristol Orpheus turbojet engine was replaced by two afterburning General Electric J85 turbojets, which increased thrust by 60% over the single-engined variant. Structural modifications to reduce airframe weight further improved performance, and an additional fuel tank occupying the space of the G.91T's rear seat provided extra range. Combat manoeuvrability was improved with the addition of automatic leading edge slats.\n\nThe avionics equipment of the G.91Y was considerably upgraded, with many American, British, and Canadian systems being licence-manufactured in Italy. Flight testing of three pre-production aircraft was successful, with one aircraft reaching a maximum speed of Mach 0.98. Airframe buffeting was noted during testing and was rectified in production aircraft by raising the position of the tailplane slightly.\n\nAn initial order of 55 aircraft for the Italian Air Force was completed by Fiat in March 1971, by which time the company had changed its name to Aeritalia following the 1969 merger of Fiat Aviazione and Aerfer. The order was eventually increased to 75 aircraft, with 67 being delivered. The development of the new G.91Y was quite long; the first order was for about 20 pre-series examples that followed the two prototypes. The first pre-series 'Yankee'—the nickname of the new aircraft—flew in July 1968.\n\nThe Italian Air Force (AMI) placed orders for two batches: 35 fighters followed by another 20, though the second batch was later cut to ten. The last aircraft was delivered around mid-1976, bringing the total to two prototypes, 20 pre-series, and 45 series aircraft. There was no export success for the type. These aircraft served with the 101° Gruppo/8° Stormo at Cervia-S.Giorgio from 1970, and later, from 1974, with the 13° Gruppo/32° Stormo at Brindisi. These 'Gruppi' (the Italian equivalent of British squadrons, usually equipped with 18 aircraft) operated the 'Yankee' until the early 1990s as attack and reconnaissance machines, both over ground and sea, until they were replaced by the AMX.\n\nA projected two-seat trainer variant, the G.91YT, was developed. Additionally, a prototype designated G.91YS was built with enhanced avionics and extra hardpoints to carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles for evaluation by Switzerland; it first flew on 16 October 1970.\n\nThe Italian Air Force operated 65 Fiat G.91Ys until 1994.

In the club's planning application to Haringey Council, information and images have been disclosed regarding the ground's new external appearance.\n\nThe design philosophy for the exterior focuses on maximizing natural light throughout the stadium. While the outer walls are composed of curtain walling, aluminum cladding, and perforated panels, a single-glazed facade gives the structure a sleek, futuristic aesthetic. This element is a critical part of the design, highlighting the 17,000-capacity single-tier south stand, which serves as the 'heartbeat' of the stadium behind the glazed facade. The use of transparent materials allows spectators to appreciate the scale of the stand as they approach from the south podium, while also drawing natural daylight into the interior spaces. This includes illuminating the open food court at the base of the stand and the concourse areas above.\n\nDetails were also released regarding the specific characteristics of the stadium's two main facades. The West Facade runs along High Road, where the bustle of the street meets the energy of match day. Composed primarily of cool metal and glass, this section features translucent views from both inside and outside the stadium. The end of the West Facade leads directly into the highly anticipated single-tier stand, allowing spectators to see the intensity of the venue from a distance.\n\nIn stark contrast, the East Facade is designed to respect the residential character of Worcester Avenue. Shaped like a widow's peak, the perforated screens covering the eastern side provide greater privacy for local residents and a less intrusive experience for supporters. The Skylounge and the entrance to the double-height banqueting and conference suite are located on this side of the stadium.\n\nIf the proposed layout holds true, every angle of the stadium offers a distinct perspective. As spectators walk around the perimeter, they will encounter a constantly changing visual experience. This combination of scale, translucency, and sightlines should make Tottenham's new ground distinct in the match-day experience it offers, positioning the venue at the forefront of the world's most ambitious sporting facilities.\n\nThe attention to detail extends beyond the exterior.

However, I didn’t feel that either the blog or the modified report adequately addressed its quintessential weakness: that is, a conclusion based on inaccurate data. I said so (and quite a lot more) in the article “Imperva-ious to Criticism” for an independent testing-focused blog.\n\nOn January 1st, the New York Times (in an article syndicated elsewhere) told us that “the antivirus industry has a dirty little secret: its products are often not very good at stopping viruses.” The article uncritically accepted the study’s spurious statistics, as did Richard Chirgwin in The Register. Though both journalists did at least notice that Imperva has a commercial agenda. As Richard Chirgwin put it:\n\n“Imperva suggests enterprise security should devote more attention to detecting aberrant behavior in systems and servers. Which, unsurprisingly, happens to be the company’s own specialty.”\n\nOn January 2nd, my pseudonymous colleague Old Mac Bloggit – over at the Anti-Malware Testing blog – was totally enraged at all the misinformation and misrepresentation, and the sloppy journalism that overlooked or ignored all the material above: “Journalism’s Dirty Little Secret.” He wasn’t the only one though: when I tweeted the link to that article, several AV people and other researchers retweeted it. While Kaspersky’s Roel Schouwenberg tweeted:\n\n“Criticizing the AV industry is fine. But do it using proper research/tests.

Tech News Daily’s Paul Wagenseil noted that “Study Faulting Anti-Virus Effectiveness May Itself Be Flawed” and gave Rik Ferguson, Graham Cluley, and an unnamed spokesman from Kaspersky a chance to comment, while Graeme Burton noted for Computing that:\n\n“…the methodology of the study has been widely criticised by security specialists… VirusTotal is a website that analyses files and URLs to identify viruses, worms, trojans and other other malware – and not real-world threat exposure. Nor did the study take account of the different parameters in which the products could be run.”\n\nAnd for Channelnomics, Stefanie Hoffman noted that “Anti-virus [is] Evolving, But Here To Stay,” making the point that:\n\n“For solution providers, anti-virus by itself has long since become commoditized — its time as a profitable standalone [product] has come and gone.

But even allowing for those significant differences in design, the basic principle is the same: water carrying away waste. The problem with the toilet as it currently exists is that not everyone has a source of water. Billions of people are toilet-less, which is bad news all around. To solve the problem, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation held a contest. The rules, according to Wired: \"Create a toilet that doesn't rely on piped water, sewer, or electrical connections.

For instance, a series of directives to ICE agents and officers known as “prosecutorial discretion,” and the implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, have made certain broad categories of undocumented immigrants off-limits for enforcement. These policies have forced ICE officers in the field to avoid or cease deportation action in thousands of cases, even in cases involving individuals charged with or convicted of crimes. ICE officers have testified in federal court that some arrested individuals have claimed to be eligible for DACA, knowing that they likely will be released from custody and from immigration charges without verification of their claims. ICE should be asked to disclose how many and which of the 36,007 criminal alien releases occurred due to these recent policy changes.\n\nIn addition, over the last year certain advocacy groups have called for the Obama administration to scale back the number of deportations or halt them altogether. A number of criminal aliens in detention while awaiting completion of deportation proceedings have been the subject of petition campaigns, prayer vigils, demonstrations, and other forms of protest against enforcement. Typically these protests occur on behalf of a criminal alien who has family members in the United States. ICE should be asked to disclose how many of these releases came after such appeals were made on behalf of criminal aliens.\n\nThese figures call into question President Obama’s request to Congress for permission to reduce immigration detention capacity by 10 percent in favor of permission to make wider use of experimental alternatives to detention. These alternatives already are subject to serious questions about their efficacy and cost, and ICE’s methodology for evaluating the results needs to be carefully scrutinized. The reduced detention bed-space request, submitted as part of the executive branch’s budget plan, comes at a time in which ICE’s detention space needs are expanding due to rapidly increasing illegal arrivals along parts of the southwest border and continued high numbers of criminal aliens encountered by agents in the interior. The news that ICE released so many criminal aliens convicted of so many serious and violent crimes suggests that ICE could use more detention capacity, not less, in order to prevent further harm to the public from these individuals. ICE should be asked to track and disclose what additional crimes may have been committed by these individuals after their release.\n\nICE devotes very few resources to victim assistance and notification programs, and these meager efforts are focused primarily on helping victims of human trafficking rather than those who have been harmed by alien criminals. In fact, the only “ombudsman” type of position ICE has established — and maintained even in the face of specific congressional de-funding of the position — focuses on aiding illegal aliens, not their victims. ICE should establish a notification system, modeled on the most successful federal, state, or local victim-witness assistance programs, to alert the victims of alien criminals, local law enforcement agencies, and the public when violent or dangerous criminal aliens are released from its custody.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 7991, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "8fb0adf17319d3f61e162a788c800f98acdfa61b", "raw_chars": 1495, "clean_chars": 1512, "edit_ratio": 0.2205, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As you acquire new items that you are eager to transmogrify, you will need to return to the Mystic to have her work her magic on your armor and weapons.

This enforcement follows strict new sanctions imposed in November by the United Nations on North Korean coal exports, which China helped to draft and pass. Coal accounted for a third of all official North Korean exports in 2015, constituting a significant portion of its income.

A collapse could also lead to a refugee crisis,\" Rivers explained.\n\nTrump also signaled a willingness for the US to play a more confrontational role with North Korea, adding, \"So we'll see what happens.

That law included a section titled \"Temporary Extension of Public Debt Limit,\" which stated that the law imposing a limit on the federal debt \"shall not apply for the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and ending on March 15, 2017.\"\n\nAs of November 2, 2015, the federal debt subject to the legal limit stood at $18,452,108,000,000.

This means the federal debt increased by $1,414,397,000,000 during the approximately 16 and a half months that Congress removed any legal limit on it. \"Congress has modified the debt limit 14 times since 2001,\" the Congressional Research Service reported in October 2015, a month before Congress modified the debt limit for a 15th time by including the language in the Bipartisan Budget Act suspending it.\n\nBy suspending the debt limit from November 2, 2015, through March 15, 2017, Congress and President Obama gave the Treasury the authority to borrow an unlimited amount of money until after the 2016 election. On October 3, 2008, President George W. Bush signed \"The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act,\" creating the Troubled Asset Relief Program that authorized the Treasury Secretary to purchase up to $700 billion in assets from troubled financial institutions. That law also increased the debt limit from $10,615,000,000,000 to $11,315,000,000,000. That was the last debt limit increase before the 2008 presidential election.\n\nSince then, borrowing by the federal government has increased the federal debt subject to the legal limit to the current $19,865,505,000,000, which exceeds the October 2008 limit by $8,550,505,000,000.

Beginning on Thursday, March 16, 2017, the outstanding debt of the United States will be at the statutory limit.\"\n\nWhen the debt hits the limit and Congress and the president do not immediately enact new legislation to increase or suspend it, the Treasury typically engages in what it calls \"extraordinary measures\" to keep the debt at a constant level just below the debt ceiling. In 2015, for example, as reported on the Daily Treasury Statements, the Treasury froze the debt at $18,112,975,000,000 for 235 days, from March 13, 2015, until the Bipartisan Budget Act suspended the debt limit on November 2, 2015.

The final episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 aired on November 23, 2009, announced by TLC three days earlier.\n\nIn late September 2009, Jon filed paperwork seeking to stall the divorce for 90 days, stating, \"I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated ... I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon.\" Among the terms of the divorce was a child support order for $22,000 a month.\n\nOn October 15, 2009, it was announced that TLC had filed suit against Jon for allegedly violating their contract through paid and unpaid television appearances he had recently made on several media outlets. The network claimed it lost more than $30,000 as a result of his alleged breach of their contract. His attorney responded that the contract was null and void once TLC renamed the show Kate Plus 8, and that in any event the contract was unenforceable because it was signed while Jon had no legal representation.\n\nOn December 18, 2009, it was announced that the couple's divorce had been finalized. Kate was granted primary custody of the children and the ownership of the family home. Earlier in the month, Jon's girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, announced that she broke up with Jon because she discovered during a deposition in his lawsuit against TLC that he had been unfaithful to her by having a relationship with Kate Major, a reporter for The Star tabloid.\n\nSince the divorce, Jon has had a difficult relationship with his ex-wife, which has constantly made headlines. He is estranged from most of his children, as Cara, Mady, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel have cut off all contact with him; all six of the children still live with Kate.

He and his co-founder Travis O'Guin founded the label because they couldn't find a home in the established music industry. However, as they attracted those similarly disaffected by the mainstream, those people in turn moved to fortify their own barriers. It's the story of almost every subculture that becomes a more powerful cultural force, including hip-hop, but Tech is determined not to fall into that trap.\n\n\"That's the problem with barriers; they're always trying to separate us, and we can't do shit when we're separated,\" he said. \"We're trying to unite people.

While he swore me to secrecy, he did acknowledge that he no longer considers any artists outside the realm of possibility. If the song sounds right, he's going to hit up Kanye West. He mentioned artists from other genres like Lana Del Rey, his respect for Tyler, the Creator, and Earl Sweatshirt. Any and every option was on the table. After all, would landing a verse from Jay-Z really be that much stranger than rapping alongside Eminem? Here he was, an artist from the often-overlooked Kansas City, about to enter the GRAMMYs. Was anything truly impossible, including eventually winning a GRAMMY himself?\n\nTech N9ne doesn't need mainstream validation; he never has. But he's growing so inescapable that it may come anyway.

This command generates the necessary project scaffolding.\n\nThere are essentially two steps to complete the setup. First, open your `Package.swift` file and declare a dependency on Kitura, our web framework, specifying major version 1.0. This establishes the required dependency. Second, add the core code for your server application. Remarkably, it takes fewer than ten lines of code to get a server running. Begin by importing Kitura and creating a router. A router directs incoming HTTP requests from specific URLs to the appropriate code. In this example, we define a GET request for the root URL (\"/\"). Inside this handler, we simply send back a \"Hello, World\" response. Any request to the root URL will trigger this response.\n\nFinally, we configure an HTTP server, assign it a port, and link it to the router. In this case, port 8090 is assigned to the router, which will print \"Hello, World\" for incoming requests. We then start the server, which initiates a background run loop. This concise eight-line script successfully launches a web server in Swift. You can verify this by navigating to localhost in your browser; accessing the root URL will display the \"Hello, World\" message.\n\nWhile this demonstrates the ease of setup, \"Hello, World\" is not a full application. We provide extensive tutorials on building complete REST APIs, including setting up various routes for GET, PUT, and POST operations. Our objective is to make application development accessible, which is why the initial example is so brief. We are equally focused on simplifying the creation of REST APIs. Over the past few months, we have been working on tools to facilitate this, and I will now demonstrate these capabilities in a live demo.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8022, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "573b58dc75c5c3a0cd549b6fcb6f4eff5bdc2824", "raw_chars": 1784, "clean_chars": 1766, "edit_ratio": 0.5251, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "BUCHAREST, Romania — Romania’s constitutional court announced on Tuesday that it would consult with a European court regarding the case of a same-sex couple seeking legal recognition of their foreign marriage in Romania.\n\nCourt President Valer Dorneanu stated that he is seeking information from the European Court of Justice to understand how other EU countries, where same-sex marriages are not legal, have handled similar cases.

Under current regulations, Hamilton would not receive legal protection as Coman’s spouse if they were to settle in Romania.

This uncertainty prompted me to write a poem when I wondered at the fact that we must sometimes be dragged kicking and screaming in the right direction.\n\nIt draws a comparison to the blind spot in our eyes, which isn't truly blind but fills in the gaps for us. It questions whether there might not be other things in this world that our brains, our minds, by their very nature, make up for us. All men have blind spots in their eyes that manufacture visions of their vale and shape that void where light is unregistered with bold-faced, unrepentant tales. What other blind spots shape our minds and thoughts? What other tales do wondering minds unfurl to woo us, unbeguiled, into believing in strange and nonexistent worlds?\n\nRegarding writing, here is the one quote that I have found most helpful and wise: \"First have something to say, second say it, third stop when you have said it, and finally give it an accurate title.\" This advice comes from John Shaw Billings (1838-1913).\n\nMy advice to you is this: Don't expect your thesis advisor to read your thesis. Some thesis advisors can and do give good feedback, but not all. Still, make sure that somebody reads your thesis. I especially recommend that you ask your peers. Here is another piece of advice that I have often had to give myself, and I here give to you: When you send a paper off to be published and it gets rejected, don't be turned off by the mindless, cretinous feedback that you receive for your well-thought-out, beautifully written work. Be a mensch. Use the feedback to improve your paper. Make it better and send it back.\n\nFinally, it is my most earnest wish that you should know something that is honestly amazingly true of you: that you are each of you unique and special in some glorious way.

What sets man apart from beast is his engine of thought, his mind, his brain, which makes him unique and gives him his greatest pleasure. But fundamental as is thought for human beings, there is stuff more basic still that underlies and drives not only man but all great beasts. And that is nature's call to each of us to be special, to be distinguished in some way, to be unique. To be something, to do something, better than everyone else. Like the leather-nosed chimpanzee dragging noisy cans and branches, frightening peers into submission, one does not have to be brilliant, a genius, to be special.

The two have gone out of their way to describe their mutual respect as they develop a potent attacking formula and a close off-field connection. For Foran, Johnson has provided an ideal example of how to lift oneself out of dark times. For Johnson, shining in the bright lights, Foran has shown what a strong leader and established halves partner can do for his own game.\n\nHowever, like a teenage romance, this partnership has the potential to get messy. How will it all end? Player market speculation is rife, with fans and analysts attempting to piece together where each off-contract player is headed. Everything points to Foran's time with the Warriors being a one-year stint. The Warriors secured Foran at a bargain price this year, considering his personal situation and the fact that Auckland was viewed as the best place for him to sort himself out. Now, Sydney-based clubs with room under the salary cap are circling one of the most sought-after off-contract players.\n\nSo where does this leave the off-contract Johnson, and the Warriors in general, if Foran departs at the end of the year? Foran has just delivered the Warriors and Johnson a large dose of reality with what he has achieved in just two games. The smart money is on Johnson remaining at the Warriors, but he has quickly become aware that to get the best out of himself, he needs more help in the halves. He needs a player who will run the show and get into the grind while he waits to pounce.\n\nJohnson has said publicly that until he was provided the chance to link with Foran over the past two weeks in the NRL, he never realized what he had been missing. For the first time in Johnson's career, a move away from the Warriors has become a serious possibility. The temptation to follow Foran must be there, and given the demand for Foran, if he wants his new best friend alongside him at a Sydney club, he could have plenty of sway.\n\nOn the flip side, if Johnson stays, the Warriors management must now realize that to reach the holy grail—a premiership—they need a strong leader in the halves alongside Johnson. If they can't go deep into the NRL competition in 2017 with Foran, they won't have a chance to do it without him in 2018. Tuimalola Lolohea seems to have plenty of experts lining up to shower him with praise, but he hasn't shown enough to suggest he is the right man for the job.

In a statement released yesterday, the regulator noted that while these sites can play a valuable role, they can also provide misleading or inaccurate information. Some of ASIC's specific concerns include sites that offer only a limited number of brands or products without clearly disclosing this limitation, sites that use ratings and rankings without properly explaining the methodology behind them, and sites that highlight special offers or featured products without explaining the selection process.\n\nASIC's statement emphasized that websites allowing consumers to obtain and compare insurance quotes are, by definition, providing a financial service and therefore must hold a license. \"For credit comparison websites that advertise loan products, it is important that comparison rates are disclosed as required under the National Credit Code,\" the statement added.\n\nFred Schebesta, chief executive and founder of Finder.com.au, told SmartCompany that he believes the regulator's warning is a positive development, particularly for businesses that are already complying with the relevant laws. \"There are comparison sites not actually revealing whether they are owned by an insurance company, and I've got a problem with that,\" he said. \"I don't think it's doing Australia a service; I think it's actually doing it a disservice.\"\n\nRohan Gamble, managing director of Mozo, stated that the aggregator industry is filled with so-called affiliates who simply create aggregator products that only compare their own products.

We've been waiting for this type of thing, and we take the view that we do this seriously, and that everyone else should as well,\" he said.\n\nThe financial comparison industry has enjoyed several years of growth.

Aggregator products have also extended into retail goods, although ASIC is primarily concerned with sites that offer finance and insurance-related comparisons.\n\niSelect has perhaps been the most successful and well-known site in the financial aggregator market.

In the film adaptation Veronika Decides to Die, Gellar starred as a young depressed woman who rediscovers the joy in life when she finds out that she only has days to live following a suicide attempt. Like Possession, the film failed to find a proper release in North American theaters, and was released for VOD in 2015.

Since my daylight hours were generally occupied with classes and teaching responsibilities, I tended to do my long-distance runs well after dark. Instead of being able to clear my head as I did figure-eights around campus and Exposition Park, I was often stopped by police who wanted to know what I thought I was doing.\n\n\"Don't you know bad things happen around here?\" I was asked when stopped along King Boulevard one night. \"There are drug dealers in that house right there,\" an officer said, pointing to one of the houses across the street.\n\n\"I'm not in the market for any drugs, officer,\" I told him.\n\n\"You don't get it,\" he said, exasperated. \"It isn't safe around here. This is a bad area. You shouldn't be here.\"\n\nHe was wrong. I did get it.\n\nWhat I understood was that USC and those tasked with policing the area felt that the best way to keep students safe was to warn them against their neighbors and keep them segregated. The less cross-over, the less chance for problems to arise.\n\nThe effort to enforce this segregation was multi-fold. My students reported being warned at orientation to be wary of the community—the long-time inhabitants of the neighborhood. Meanwhile, youth from the area who walked on or near the campus were hassled by the police and on-campus security, asked about who they were, where they were headed, and what business they had being there.\n\nSpeaking to local youth participating in a walk on and around campus last year, Dyane Pascall, a young African-American resident of the area and Director of Finance and Administration for Community Services Unlimited, recounted that because he and another staff member had been hassled by police so often when walking near USC—not even on campus—they had both decided to alter their routes to avoid the demoralizing aggravation of being constantly stopped.\n\nFor some of my USC students, the divide seemed unbridgeable. Many regularly bad-mouthed the community: \"It's such a shitty area,\" \"There's nothing around here,\" and the oddly self-image-conscious, \"People look down on USC because it is in such a ghetto-ass neighborhood.\"\n\nThat certainly wasn't true of all students. Many took advantage of the opportunities available to get involved in the numerous efforts USC makes to invest in the community, such as helping out at area schools. But even then, they weren't always able to translate lessons learned from those experiences into more harmonious living with long-time residents of the area.\n\nWhen I suggested that a student looking for a summer program abroad begin by practicing his Spanish with his Guatemalan neighbors (whom I had met while doing a photo project), he scoffed at me. That's ridiculous.\n\nWhat was he supposed to do, just knock on the door and introduce himself? He preferred to go some place with real culture and real Spanish, he said. What would he talk to them about, anyways? He was sure they would have nothing to say to each other.\n\nNow, USC has gone even further in reinforcing that divide between students and residents of the area by doing everything but installing a gator-filled moat around the perimeter.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8041, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8026e650b76e1e58a334a6ac1099762c7fba7892", "raw_chars": 2830, "clean_chars": 2986, "edit_ratio": 0.2132, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The extremely small endocranial volume (ECV) of LB1, the type specimen of Homo floresiensis, poses a significant challenge to our understanding of human brain evolution. Some researchers hypothesize a dramatic dwarfing of relative brain size from Homo erectus, presumably without a significant decrease in intellectual function, while others expect a lesser degree of brain diminution from a more primitive, small-brained hominin form that is currently undocumented in eastern Asia. However, inconsistencies in the published ECVs for LB1, which range from 380 to 430 cubic centimeters, along with unclear human intraspecific brain–body size scaling and other uncertainties, have hampered elaborate modeling of its brain size reduction.\n\nIn this study, we accurately determine the ECV of LB1 using high-resolution micro-CT scanning. The measured ECV of LB1 is 426 cubic centimeters, which is larger than the commonly cited figure of 400 cubic centimeters in previous studies. Coupled with brain–body size correlation data in Homo sapiens calculated based on a sample from 20 worldwide modern human populations, we construct new models of the brain size reduction in the evolution of H. floresiensis. The results indicate a more significant contribution of scaling effects than previously claimed.\n\nHomo floresiensis is a diminutive, extinct hominin species from the Late Pleistocene of Flores Island in eastern Indonesia. Since its initial publication, the extremely small endocranial volume for the type specimen, LB1 (approximately 400 cubic centimeters), which is comparable to Australopithecus, has been a point of intensive debate. Two major explanatory hypotheses have been discussed. The first is that H. floresiensis experienced dramatic brain size reduction from the condition of Homo erectus (approximately 1000 cubic centimeters) in an isolated insular setting. The second is that the species was derived directly from a more primitive and smaller-brained form, such as Homo habilis (approximately 600 cubic centimeters) or even Australopithecus (approximately 400 cubic centimeters). Either possibility has major implications. The former implies that insular brain dwarfing to an unparalleled degree has been a significant factor in hominin evolution on Flores, whereas the latter demands a revision of the current Out of Africa 1 hypothesis, which supposes H. erectus as the first hominin dispersed deep into Eurasia.\n\nSome researchers suspect that the LB1 cranium belongs to a microcephalic modern human, but so far such claims have failed to identify a case of a modern human patient with overall skeletal characteristics similar to LB1.

Remarks to the Committee For The Republic, Washington DC, February 2014 (Part 4 in a 6-Part Series).\n\nThe Great Depression did not represent the failure of capitalism or some inherent suicidal tendency of the free market to plunge into cyclical depression, absent the constant ministrations of the state through monetary, fiscal, tax, and regulatory interventions. Instead, the Great Depression was a unique historical occurrence, the delayed consequence of the monumental folly of the Great War, abetted by the financial deformations spawned by modern central banking.\n\nBut ironically, the \"failure of capitalism\" explanation of the Great Depression is exactly what enabled the Warfare State to thrive and dominate the rest of the 20th century because it gave birth to what have become its twin handmaidens: Keynesian economics and monetary central planning. Together, these two doctrines eroded and eventually destroyed the great policy barrier, that is, the old-time religion of balanced budgets, that had kept America a relatively peaceful Republic until 1914.\n\nTo be sure, under Mellon’s tutelage, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover strove mightily, and on paper successfully, to restore the pre-1914 status quo ante on the fiscal front. But it was a pyrrhic victory, since Mellon’s surpluses rested on an artificially booming, bubbling economy that was destined to hit the wall.\n\nThe Hoover Recovery of 1932\n\nWorse still, Hoover’s bitter-end fidelity to fiscal orthodoxy, as embodied in his infamous balanced budget of June 1932, got blamed for prolonging the depression. Yet, as I have demonstrated in the chapter of my book called \"New Deal Myths of Recovery\", the Great Depression was already over by early summer 1932.\n\nAt that point, powerful natural forces of capitalist regeneration had come to the fore. Thus, during the six months leading up to the November 1932 election, freight loadings rose by 20 percent, industrial production by 21 percent, construction contract awards gained 30 percent, unemployment dropped by nearly one million, wholesale prices rebounded by 20 percent, and the battered stock market was up by 40 percent.\n\nSo Hoover’s fiscal policies were blackened not by the facts of the day, but by the subsequent ukase of the Keynesian professoriat. Indeed, the \"Hoover recovery\" would be celebrated in the history books even today if it had not been interrupted in the winter of 1932-1933 by a faux \"banking crisis\" which was entirely the doing of President-elect Roosevelt and the loose-talking economic statist at the core of his transition team, especially Columbia professors Moley and Tugwell.\n\nThe Pre-1933 Banking Failures Were Caused By Insolvency\n\nThe truth of the so-called banking crisis is that the artificial economic boom of 1914-1929 had generated a drastic proliferation of banks in the farm country and in the booming new industrial centers like Chicago, Detroit, Youngtown, and Toledo, along with vast amounts of poorly underwritten debt on real estate and businesses.\n\nWhen the bubble burst in 1929, the financial system experienced the time-honored capitalist cure, a sweeping liquidation of bad debts and under-capitalized banks. Not only was this an unavoidable and healthy purge of economic rot, but it also reflected the fact that the legions of banks which failed were flat-out insolvent and should have been closed.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8054, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "35b814d23d52eb06c91fd228b5b74ef69401234b", "raw_chars": 3319, "clean_chars": 3358, "edit_ratio": 0.1484, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Detroit Lions defensive end Khyri Thornton has been suspended for six games by the NFL. The NFL, more than any other business you or I are likely to ever work for, is deeply involved in the personal lives of its employees. From the number of hip thrusts players are allowed to perform after a touchdown to the substances they are permitted to ingest that have nothing to do with their jobs, NFL players must endure some ridiculous constraints on their lives. Do other celebrities face such regulations? No, they do not.\n\nThere was a time when the NFL had a massive image problem. In the 1980s, media outlets were filled with stories about legendarily wild parties. In an effort to curb the rising tide of negative publicity, the NFL implemented an intense drug testing program. This marked the beginning of the league office's role as the fun police.\n\nThe result has been the opposite of what was intended, as it often seems to be with league office initiatives. Now, rather than just getting publicity when a player gets a DUI, the league also gets publicity when a player has a glass of wine on a plane six months later. Then the league gets more publicity when, a year later, that player smokes some weed at a party and catches a cab home. Then the league gets even more publicity when that player gains 45 pounds after not playing the game for 36 months.\n\nI can already hear people making excuses for why the league needs to be so strict. \"These players are role models for children. The league needs to set an example.\" No, they don't. Are they more of a role model for children than baseball, hockey, or basketball players?\n\nMLB has not suspended a player for non-PED drugs since 2004. The largest penalty for marijuana use is a $35,000 fine in MLB. No games are missed, and nobody cares. The NHL doesn't even test for it. The NBA couldn't play a game if its players got suspended for marijuana tests; they also fine players and publish nothing.\n\nBy any measure, the NFL's drug policy is ludicrous overkill. This article by Brad Townsend runs through the various league's policies in a bit more detail. That's the end of my rant on the subject.\n\nWhat Is Next For Khyri Thornton?\n\nHere is how offseason suspensions for periods shorter than a full season affect the daily lives of players during the offseason. They don't. Thornton can practice with the team. He will play in all of the preseason games and battle for a spot on the 53-man roster. The suspension doesn't actually hurt Thornton's chance of making the cut, oddly enough. If anything, it incentivizes keeping him.\n\nHow this will likely play out is that the Lions will keep Khyri Thornton. Thornton will begin his suspension shortly after the Lions set their 53-man roster. That will immediately open a roster spot. The effect will be that the Lions get to stash Thornton as a midseason depth option. This is not as good as having Thornton for the first six games of the season unless he wasn't going to make the cut. Thornton was likely on the roster bubble in 2017. He is still facing competition from additions Jordan Hill and Jeremiah Ledbetter to make the roster.\n\nBy no means does this increase Thornton's chances of collecting the last ten weeks of his salary this season, but neither has it torpedoed them to the depths of the Marianas trench.

Synthesizing these points, with the exception of point 8, the core ideas were as follows: The ideal of the December 1989 Revolution was and remains the return to the authentic values of democracy and European civilization. All social categories were oppressed by the communist regime, and none desired harm to the others. People of all ages fought with the same determination for the cause of the revolution. Timișoara is a Romanian and European city where nationalities have refused and continue to refuse nationalism. The idea of multipartyism was supported, with all political parties having the right to exist, except those from the far left and far right. There was a call for the correct rewriting of the country's history from the period 1944 to 1950. The cowardice of the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) members was condemned; at the 12th Congress of the PCR, they intended to remove Nicolae Ceaușescu from power but failed to do so. The orientation of national expenditures toward achieving a minimum level of civilization was emphasized. Privatization was proposed through the land reform of workers in enterprises, granting an equal number of shares, while the state would retain a percentage of funds to ensure control over activities. The principle of economic and administrative decentralization was launched. The recall of those who had gone into exile was called for to aid in the country's reconstruction.\n\nThe designation of December 16 as Romania's national day was proposed, marking the day when Romanians had the courage to rise up against totalitarianism.\n\nThe most important point of the Timișoara Proclamation was point 8, the content of which is as follows:\n\n\"As a consequence of the previous point, we propose that the electoral law prohibit, for the first three consecutive legislatures, the right to candidacy on any list for former communist activists and former Securitate officers. Their presence in the country's political life is the main source of tensions and suspicions that trouble Romanian society today. Until the situation stabilizes and national reconciliation is achieved, their absence from public life is absolutely necessary. We also request that a special paragraph be included in the electoral law prohibiting former communist activists from running for the office of President of the country. The President of Romania must be one of the symbols of our break with communism. Being a party member is not a crime. We all know to what extent an individual's life, from professional advancement to housing allocation, was conditioned by the red booklet and what serious consequences followed its surrender. However, activists were those who abandoned their professions to serve the communist party and benefit from the special privileges it offered. A person who made such a choice does not provide the moral guarantees that a President must offer. We propose reducing the prerogatives of this office, following the model of many civilized countries in the world. Thus, for the dignity of the President of Romania, prominent figures from cultural and scientific life could also run, without special political experience. In this context, we also propose that the first legislature last only two years, a time necessary for strengthening democratic institutions and clarifying the ideological position of each of the many parties that emerged.

In an open letter, Louisville police union president Dave Mutchler issued what could be read as a threat to residents of the city. \"We know that the vast majority of you see that ninety-nine percent of police officers serve with integrity and courage,\" the letter reads. \"Although we know in our hearts that you are the silent majority, sadly, that may not be enough.

No more.\"\n\nWhat moved the police union to such anger? Mutchler was most likely discussing the criticism that the Louisville Metro Police fielded after an officer fatally shot Deng Manyuon, a Sudanese refugee, on June 14. Louisville Metro Police chief Steve Conrad released surveillance-video footage of the incident, which shows officer Nathan Blanford shooting Manyuon after he attacked the officer with a flag pole. (Mutchler didn't return a call for comment.)\n\nMutchler's dramatic letter drew a fast response from Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, which he posted via Twitter. Regarding the FOP letter, Fischer stated: \"I appreciate that emotions are high after the tragic event of last week. This letter does not reflect the sentiments of me or the vast majority of Louisville's citizens, who know that we are all on the same page. We are in this together, including police who put their lives on the line to keep us safe while building strong relationships of trust.

They killed an Israeli police officer and then kidnapped Danny Haran and his four-year-old daughter from their home in Nahariya. As Israeli troops closed in, Kuntar executed the two on a beach.

I have become much more of a bird enthusiast over the years; previously, I only noticed the city's birds enough to remark on the massive size of the crows, which remain impressively large.\n\nBefore arriving, I searched online for birdwatching locations in Tokyo. While I found few English-language resources, several helpful forum posts guided me. It turned out that almost any green space in Tokyo hosts a wide variety of birds. With so many public parks throughout the city, I encountered new species almost everywhere I went.\n\nI did not bring my DSLR camera to keep my luggage light, so the visual record is somewhat limited. However, I maintained a detailed eBird list. Despite being abroad, my habit of meticulous list-keeping compelled me to return home and enter a full tally of the birds I had seen each day. This provided a comprehensive written record of my trip, even without extensive photography.\n\nAfter a week exploring Tokyo and its surroundings, here are some of my favorite spots for birdwatching.\n\nUeno Park is centrally located and accessible via the Ueno subway station, making it an excellent choice if you only have an hour or two to spare. I visited shortly after arriving from Narita Airport and quickly spotted Japanese White-eyes, Japanese Tits, Oriental Turtle-doves, Large-billed Crows, and Brown-eared Bulbuls. I would soon grow tired of the bulbuls, as they were ubiquitous in the trees, calling loudly.\n\nAround Shinobazu Lake at the south end of the park, I observed both Great Cormorants and Japanese Cormorants. I also saw a person feeding a large flock of Eurasian Tree Sparrows and ducks, primarily Mallards, Northern Pintails, and Eastern Spot-billed Ducks. Hiding in the reeds were Northern Shovelers, Common Pochards, and Eurasian Coots.\n\nAdditionally, several Tufted Ducks were resting in the lake alongside Black-headed Gulls, bobbing like corks. A Little Egret was hunting along the shore. It was a productive afternoon.\n\nYoyogi Park, located near the Harajuku or Meiji-jingu Mae stations, is a great place for both people-watching and birdwatching. During one visit, I observed a girl group practicing dance routines, a yoga class, and a group of rock enthusiasts with boom boxes.\n\nDespite the human activity, the park is teeming with birds. Common species such as Tree Sparrows, Large-billed Crows, Brown-eared Bulbuls, Rock Doves, and Eurasian Spot-billed Ducks in the pond are present throughout.\n\nThe true highlight of Yoyogi Park is the large, fenced-in Bird Sanctuary in the eastern corner. Although visitors cannot enter the sanctuary, they can look over the low fence into the trees where numerous smaller birds reside.

His lawyer arrived from Hollywood with a new copy of his will, and a priest administered the \"Anointing of the Sick,\" better known as last rites. \"Doctors are lousy liars,\" Liberace wrote in his 1973 self-titled autobiography. \"The ones in the hospital would tell me I was improving while glancing at my chart and shaking their heads.\" It took Liberace's personal physician, Dr. Frank Taylor, to give him the plain truth. \"Put your house in order,\" he said.\n\nAs a lover of jewelry, furs, and other gaudy trappings, Liberace used what he thought were his final hours to go on a shopping spree. He opened charge accounts at New York's finest stores, including Saks and Tiffany's, and ordered lavish gifts for friends and family. \"If you think a drunken sailor spends money carelessly, you should get a load of a rich piano player when he thinks he's dying,\" Liberace wrote in his autobiography. Liberace later credited a mysterious nun's prayers to St. Anthony of Padua—a Franciscan monk and traditionally the patron saint of lost articles—with his recovery. \"I began to pray, and almost immediately, I began to feel better,\" he remembered.\n\nThe mysterious nun was clad all in white. St. Francis' nuns supposedly wore dark-colored habits, and when he asked about his visitor, no one could explain who she was. But a visit to the website maintained by the Sisters in Healthcare History Project shows that the nuns of St. Francis General Hospital certainly wore white in the 1960s. So, was Liberace's visitor a divine messenger? An illness-induced hallucination? Or was it just a little bit of showbiz B.S. made up by Mr. Showmanship to make the story better?\n\nMeanwhile, Pittsburgh had something else—what was then called an \"artificial kidney,\" about the size of a small refrigerator. In nature, the kidneys remove poisons from the blood and drain them to the bladder, where they're eliminated in urine. In patients whose kidneys are failing, the poisons continue to collect in the bloodstream until the other organs begin to shut down. The process of \"hemodialysis\"—artificially filtering the blood to remove poisons—was first proposed in the 1850s by a Scottish doctor, and the first attempt to use the process on a human being came in 1924. A working dialysis device was created by a Dutch doctor, Willem Kolff, during World War II, and when he emigrated to America in 1950, he brought his research with him. His \"dialyzers\" were successfully used to treat wounded Allied soldiers during the Korean War.\n\nOne of the first people to be treated with dialysis was Barbara Porr of Pittsburgh's North Side, who in March 1951 went into acute kidney failure after accidentally swallowing several tablets of disinfectant. Her life was saved with a dialyzer built by Allis-Chalmers, a company better known for building farm equipment and (ironically enough) based in Liberace's home town of West Allis, Wisconsin. At the time, Westinghouse Electric Corp. and doctors from the University of Pittsburgh were collaborating on the development of their own improved \"artificial kidney.\" One of the doctors on the research team was Frank Mateer, a 1944 Pitt medical school graduate. By 1954, Mateer had successfully dialyzed 150 people in Pittsburgh, mostly at Bloomfield's West Penn Hospital, not far from St. Francis.

Additionally, Strickland's 9.82 strikeouts per nine innings and 19.4 percent infield fly rate make him look like a shutdown option.

No business considering a Los Angeles location would imagine that city’s sprawling assets don’t include the academic powerhouse 16 miles west of City Hall known as UCLA.\n\nThe research hub known as Tech Square has used a pro-business mindset and the proximity to the university’s engineering talent to draw more than a dozen Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of tech startups to that city.

The concept has worked in other cities as well, from Pittsburgh to Madison, Wisconsin. Cities need jobs. Companies need research and development infrastructure and an educated workforce. University researchers need places to scale and market their innovations.\n\nTheoretically, it could work here. UC Davis’ medical school, school of nursing, and medical center have been game changers in Oak Park; with the right infrastructure, the surrounding area might also attract biomedical companies seeking to leverage university research.

It is a racist movement, since anti-Semitism is a form of racism. Anti-Zionism, which is a form of anti-Semitism, is immoral.

I drove for 2.5 hours to the Coromandel Peninsula, specifically to Whitianga, where I had booked a hotel the night before on my phone. I thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of scenery on this trip and was starting to get the hang of driving on the left side of the road. I arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon, made some coffee—the hotel staff conveniently gave me fresh milk upon check-in—and relaxed a bit before heading back out. I stayed at the Admiralty Lodge Motel on Buffalo Beach Road in Whitianga for $162 per night. I loved this place. It had massive rooms, free Wi-Fi, and super friendly owners who gave me tips about the area.

I found that I could examine my reactions to sitting down at the desk, and they typically fell into a few specific categories.\n\nDrowsy: Two sentences in, I am totally falling asleep. Staring: How long can I look at a blank screen without putting any words down? Restless: Why am I suddenly in the kitchen doing dishes? Dithering: There are only so many times I can rewrite the same opening.\n\nWith each of those symptoms, what is really happening is that my \"reader brain\" is trying to communicate my responses to the thing I am writing. When you think about your favorite book, the one you have read multiple times, you still have an emotional reaction to the story, even though you know exactly what is going to happen next. The same dynamic applies to your own writing. Even though you know the plot, you are still telling yourself a story.\n\nIf you feel drowsy, it means your story is dull. You are boring yourself. In that case, back up to the last point where you were excited about the narrative and try to think of a more dynamic choice for the plot. Ask yourself: What would be cool and excite you as a reader?\n\nIf you are staring at the screen, it means you do not know what is supposed to happen next. Think about the situation your character is in. What do they want? What is the smartest thing they can do with the materials they have on hand to achieve that goal? Then, figure out how it goes horribly, horribly wrong.\n\nIf you feel restless, it means the next scene is difficult, and you are trying to escape writing it. By \"difficult,\" I mean you are approaching a tense scene that will be challenging for your character and/or difficult to write well. With this type of block, you just have to power through. Remember, you can always go back and fix it later. Set a timer for fifteen minutes, start writing, and do not let your fingers stop while the timer is running. Most of the time, you will get out of the hole.\n\nIf you are dithering, it means you do not believe in the scene you are about to write. This is probably related to your character's internal motivation, or perhaps a planned scene no longer fits the novel. Much like staring, pause and think about what your character wants and how they can try to achieve it. Then, be awful to them.\n\nBut there is a fifth form of writer's block. This is when the urge to go to the chair isn't even present. When you do sit down, you hate writing. The joy is totally gone.\n\nThis is depression.\n\nI had been slowing down and struggling to even care about writing for most of the previous year. And then, I just stopped.\n\nAfter that, I stopped getting out of bed, except right before my husband came home. I would get up and get dressed because I was ashamed of the fact that I was in bed and had gotten nothing done. I could hear the gate open as he headed to the backyard with his bike, so I would be in the kitchen washing dishes when he came home. I looked totally productive.\n\nFinally, while writing a foreword for my excerpt in Altered Perceptions, I realized that I was masking. No—wait. I admitted to myself that I was masking.

After finishing his meal, the being instructs the Silver Surfer to find him something else to eat. The game begins with Sandman and Abomination taking over Sand Station Central and demanding the Cosmic Bricks. Iron Man enters the fray alongside the Hulk. Throughout the demo, you can hear voiceovers from Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson. Initially, you control both Hulk and Iron Man, switching between them by pressing the designated button. Each character has an Action/Attack, Jump, and Special Move. Hulk's moves are straightforward; he primarily smashes objects and yells during jump attacks. You can even perform the move he used against Loki in The Avengers movie, where he flings him around. This is quite accurate to the film. To execute this move, get close to an enemy and press the Action/Attack button. There is also a cool animation where he punts a minion away. By pressing his Special button, he can pick up objects and toss them by pressing the Action button. Finally, he can transform back into Bruce Banner by holding the switch button, and vice versa. The transformation animation is quite amusing.\n\nIron Man has his own set of moves. Pressing the Action button allows you to fire missiles at enemies or objects. By holding the Action button and using the directional pad, you can target multiple objects at once, then release the button to fire. You can use his Unibeam by holding the Special button to charge up and releasing it to fire. Iron Man can also fly by tapping the Jump button once and tapping it again to hover. To land, simply tap the Special button twice.\n\nDuring the stage, you must destroy taxi cabs and barricades while collecting coins to reach Abomination. There are also sand enemies that obstruct your path, but they are relatively easy to defeat. By collecting enough coins to fill the bar at the top middle of the screen, you earn the title \"True Believer.\" Like other LEGO games, you must solve puzzles to reach certain checkpoints. At times, you need to use Hulk to pull objects by pressing his Special button, but I encountered some issues with this. The game instructed me to press the button repeatedly, but when I did, Hulk would let go, forcing me to start over. You can see this issue in a few parts of the video. I am unsure if this was just my experience or if others face the same problem. Once you reach Abomination, you fight him by pressing specific buttons. It was quite hilarious when Hulk used Abomination's hand to hit himself.\n\nAfter defeating Abomination, you progress to the second part of the demo, where you attempt to reach Sandman at the end.

However, as the global population surged and drove up food demand, it triggered a boom in extraction that began in a few countries, such as Spain and the United States, but has now spread worldwide.\n\nAn estimated 2 billion people rely on groundwater for drinking and irrigating crops, yet its use is often unregulated and poorly monitored. Consequently, more water is pumped out than can be replenished quickly when it rains.\n\nIn the United States, groundwater levels around California’s Central Valley farming area have been declining rapidly. Between 2003 and 2010, a volume of water almost equal to that in the country’s largest reservoir, Lake Mead, was lost, according to a study led by Jay Famiglietti of the University of California, who uses NASA satellite data to monitor depletion.\n\nIn the Middle East, countries including Iran and Syria lost an amount of water almost equal to the Dead Sea over a similar period, mostly due to groundwater pumping.\n\nIn terms of the severity of depletion, northwestern India is the worst, says Professor Famiglietti. Water-hungry farms and rapid population growth mean that between 2002 and 2008, the region’s aquifers lost an amount of water nearly three times the maximum capacity of Lake Mead.\n\nGlobally, pumping out so much groundwater has contributed to a \"small but not trivial\" increase in sea levels, as the extracted water eventually makes its way to the oceans, according to Leonard Konikow of the US Geological Survey, a leading groundwater expert.\n\nAt the heart of the groundwater problem is a host of regulatory deficiencies that companies alone can do little to change, including subsidized water for impoverished farmers that governments are loath to touch. \"The politics of agriculture are such that no politician is ever going to remove subsidies for farmers, whether it’s in California or anywhere else,\" says Scott Rickards, founder of the US Waterfund group, which develops financial risk-management products for the water industry.\n\nOne company acutely aware of the dilemma is SABMiller, one of the world’s biggest brewers. It has paid millions of dollars to conserve and improve its own water supplies, including $6 million to upgrade pipes and other equipment at one of its plants in Tanzania affected by deteriorating water quality. At another of its facilities in the Indian state of Rajasthan, however, groundwater is disappearing so fast it has become \"quite a significant risk to the brewery,\" says Andy Wales, the company’s head of sustainable development.\n\nSABMiller has invested in several measures to boost supplies and replaces more water than it draws out every year. Still, \"that’s not enough to solve the problem because the farmers are still using it,\" he says, noting that irrigation water is typically so cheap it is used inefficiently. SABMiller pays about 50 cents for each cubic metre of water it uses in South Africa, for example, while the farmers irrigating the barley used in its beer can pay half of 1 percent of that price for the same volume of water.\n\n\"The only solution for companies really is to understand those local risks; dramatically improve efficiency and engage with local communities, governments and others to put in place projects that protect the watershed for all users.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8137, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "3f8aaf0241b5040d435c54fb3bd3efae1b29f23a", "raw_chars": 3385, "clean_chars": 3029, "edit_ratio": 0.2027, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) say they have moved a step closer to their aim of unlocking the mysteries of the Universe. The world's highest-energy particle accelerator has produced a record-breaking particle collision rate, approximately double the previous rate. The collider is now generating around 10,000 particle collisions per second, according to physicist Andrei Golutvin.\n\nThe LHC is housed in a 27km circular tunnel under the French-Swiss border. The vast machine is operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), based near Geneva in Switzerland. Physicists say this marks the start of turning the LHC into the world's most powerful particle collider. \"It's clear that the LHC is the new boy in town, but in two years running we're going to put Fermilab out of business,\" operation group leader Mike Lamont told BBC News.\n\nThe Tevatron particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois, USA, is the LHC's rival. It has operated at higher intensities, but the current collision rate is a record for CERN. The LHC is expected to overtake the American machine in due course. Over the past few months, LHC engineers have slowly and carefully increased the energy and intensity of the proton beams which race around the collider's 27km-long \"ring\".\n\nThis weekend, engineers smashed together two beams consisting of three \"bunches\" of protons. For the first time, these bunches were at \"nominal\" intensity, the intensity the LHC was designed to work at. This means each bunch consisted of as many as 100 billion protons. The LHC smashed together its first two particle beams travelling at close to the speed of light in November 2009. At the moment, it is running at half the energy it was designed for, but the scientists aim to take the machine to the top energy of seven tera-electronvolts (TeV) per beam by 2013.\n\nStationed around the collider's ring are four large experiments designed to study new physics in a bid to shed light on the secrets of our Universe. These are Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), Atlas, Alice and LHCb, of which Dr Golutvin is chief scientist. Scientists hope to find an elusive sub-atomic particle known as the Higgs boson, dubbed the \"God particle\", which explains why matter has mass.\n\nStanding in the LHC's main control room, the machine's \"nerve centre\", Mike Lamont explained that his team has recently achieved a record luminosity, a measure of the number of protons colliding per second. Luminosity is key to a particle smasher's power, he said. More collisions means more chances of \"really interesting physics, like finding the Higgs\", Dr Lamont explained.\n\nDr John Ellis, one of CERN's top theoretical physicists, is among those on the hunt for the Higgs. Dr Ellis said he was very excited by the LHC's latest record. \"Protons are complicated particles, they've got quarks and other small particles, and colliding them is like colliding two garbage cans and watching carrots come out,\" he told BBC News.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8141, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "683bf0c9b2f6a09e4cd319d67160fdb204ba93d1", "raw_chars": 3247, "clean_chars": 3299, "edit_ratio": 0.4727, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On July 19, 2016, Chicago White Sox second baseman Brett Lawrie pointed to the crowd after hitting a solo home run against the Seattle Mariners during the second inning at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington. Despite this moment, the White Sox have the option to non-tender the veteran player following an injury-plagued 2016 season. With Tyler Saladino putting together a solid campaign, questions have arisen about whether the native Canadian is now expendable.\n\nThe White Sox traded for Lawrie the previous offseason with the hope of solidifying their infield. Although Lawrie had battled injuries in the past that prevented him from playing a full season, he managed to finish his first year with the White Sox in 2015 by playing more than 145 games. Joining the Sox, he aimed to put his injury concerns behind him and contribute to a successful season on the South Side. Unfortunately, Lawrie was unable to play 100 games in 2016, as his season ended before August. He suffered a left hamstring injury on July 21 against the Detroit Tigers.\n\nLawrie was subsequently placed on the 15-day disabled list with hopes of returning. After a brief rehab stint with the Double-A Birmingham Barons, he returned to the disabled list after playing five games. He never made it back to the Sox lineup, as additional injuries to his left knee and calf ultimately ended his season.\n\nThe Canadian native has dealt with injuries throughout his career and has been known to be injury-prone. After a successful 2015 season with the Oakland Athletics, it appeared Lawrie might be able to stay healthy for a full season consistently. In 2015, he played a career-high 149 games for the Athletics. Prior to that, the most games he had played in a single season was 125 in 2012 with the Toronto Blue Jays.\n\nWhile Lawrie’s season ended prematurely with the Sox in 2016, his absence paved the way for the emergence of Tyler Saladino. The second-year player hit .282 in 93 games for the White Sox that season, compared to Lawrie’s .248 average in 94 games. Saladino was primarily a utility player for the Sox in 2016 before Lawrie’s injury, but he quickly became the starting second baseman when Lawrie was placed on the disabled list. For Saladino, the opportunity could not have come at a better time, especially after struggling to adapt to major league hitting in his rookie season.\n\nIn 2016, Saladino looked much better at the plate and delivered clutch hits for the White Sox. Given his solid performance, the Sox could very well start the next season with him as the starting second baseman.\n\nLawrie will be up for arbitration in the offseason, and according to MLB Trade Rumors, he could command a salary of $5.1 million for 2017. If the White Sox are unwilling to spend that amount for one season of Lawrie, they could choose to non-tender him. This would not be surprising, as the organization is typically looking to save money where possible. Saladino not only makes Lawrie more expendable but has also proven to be more durable. An area of concern for the Sox would be Saladino’s inability to play more than 95 games in a single season. Although Saladino had a good 2016, he still has not recorded 500 at-bats in one season. If the Sox were to non-tender Lawrie, it could present a new risk for them in 2017.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8154, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e4404560d5bb37afe3211d50f86eee760474f97f", "raw_chars": 1344, "clean_chars": 1324, "edit_ratio": 0.7826, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Porsche has officially unveiled the 919 Hybrid this week in Geneva, signaling the brand's return to Le Mans.

This marks the very first season taking place after the major PvP system overhaul introduced in Patch 4.0.\n\nIn this post, we will go over the changes and provide our critical thoughts and opinions. Did players get what they wanted? What they needed? Kind of, but some fell short. Let's begin.\n\nPaladin\n\nWe begin with the PLD. Overall, we see some pretty hard nerfs. The nerf changing Shield Bash from 3 seconds to 2 seconds means that their stun is now objectively worse than the DRK stun, Low Blow. PLD overall now has 1 second less of total CC potential on a single target, while DRK remains untouched. Overall, this is not a terrible change for the health of the game, but a pretty solid blow to PLD.\n\nA nerf to their already inferior CC was not enough, however, as Cover also saw minor nerfs. The Oath Gauge increase from 20 to 25 gauge really just means less uptime. 20% less uptime. Was this change really needed? Probably not, given that once again, the DRK holds an arguably more powerful ability in The Blackest Night, which did not see nerfs.\n\nHowever, all is not lost, as the change to Shield Oath to now grant 5% more damage reduction will make the use of Cover a bit safer, in addition to the many changes we will go over below.\n\nPLD will still retain its spot as the 2nd best tank in The Feast, though the gap between PLD and DRK has definitely grown in size, and not in favor of the PLD.\n\nWarrior\n\nNext up is the WAR, widely considered one of the three \"unplayable\" jobs prior to this patch. So what sort of buffs did they receive? The first is a base increase in HP, from 15,000 to 15,500. Not bad, not stellar, when evaluated alone.\n\nThe change to tank stances hit the WAR as well. A 5% boost in max HP, a 5% boost in HP recovery, and of course the damage reduction to come with it. What does this mean for WAR survivability?\n\nBefore the change they had 18,000 HP in Defiance. After the change they have 19,375 HP in Defiance.\n\nThis is definitely a buff to WAR survivability, but it still does not stand in line with the survivability of the other two tanks. For the sake of leaving the more detailed and in-depth analysis for another time, we will simply say that WAR still lacks in defensive support for both the team and themselves.\n\nLastly comes the much anticipated, and much needed buff to the WAR kit. A stun. Onslaught has now become Shoulder Tackle, instead of having the clunky knockback mechanic attached to it. This change alone brings it into the realm of possible viability, and it is possible that having the stun tied to a gap closer could make for some very great offensive plays.\n\nWAR has moved from a position of \"almost certain loss\" to \"maybe viable\", though we will withhold our own judgement until we see more of it in game.\n\nDark Knight\n\nDRK has been the most powerful tank since patch 4.0 launched and patch 4.06a has not changed that. It sees the same changes to Grit as WAR and PLD saw to their tank stances, which is a welcome buff to tank survivability.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8162, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b0b81484cff220cd14dfc6b4fb5c660e9b0f0398", "raw_chars": 1333, "clean_chars": 1231, "edit_ratio": 0.1888, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Former NSA Directors Coming Out Strongly Against Backdooring Encryption\n\nMichael Hayden, the former head of the US top spy agencies, the CIA, and the NSA, thinks the US government should stop railing against encryption and should support strong crypto rather than asking for backdoors.\n\nThe US is “better served by stronger encryption, rather than baking in weaker encryption,” he said during a panel on Tuesday.\n\n“In retrospect, we mastered the problem we created by the lack of the Clipper Chip,” he said. “We were able to do a whole bunch of other things.

However, he emphasized that any agreement must include \"massive border security.\"\n\nThe news of a potential breakthrough followed a dinner Trump held on Wednesday at the White House with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, the top Democrats in the House and Senate. This marked the second time in two weeks that Trump appeared to bypass his own party to engage directly with opposition leaders. Although Trump and the Democrats later disagreed on the specifics of what had been agreed upon, both sides suggested that Trump's campaign promise to build a border wall was no longer the primary sticking point.\n\nTrump, who had promised to bring his deal-making skills to the Oval Office but has struggled to get Congress to pass his major priorities, such as repealing Obamacare, appeared eager for an agreement this time. Speaking aboard Air Force One on his way back from hurricane-ravaged Florida, he said, \"We have to get things passed, and if we can't get things passed then we have to go a different route.\"\n\nDespite this eagerness, Trump made it clear he was not abandoning his demand for a border wall. \"The wall will come later,\" he said. \"They cannot obstruct for a wall because we definitely need a wall.\"\n\nThe driving force behind the broader immigration bill is the Obama-era program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This program delayed deportations and granted quasi-legal status to foreign-born children of immigrants who entered the country illegally. Trump suspended the program earlier in the month, giving Congress six months to devise a legislative solution before ordering deportations to begin.\n\nWhile Trump has expressed sympathy for the so-called DREAMers, he is also using them as leverage to secure a bill that includes stronger border security measures. \"We're working on a plan, subject to getting massive border controls. We're working on a plan for DACA. People want to see that happen. You have 800,000 young people, brought here, no fault of their own,\" Trump said. \"We'll see what happens, but something will happen.\"\n\nThe suggestion that Trump would separate border wall funding from the DACA negotiations prompted a day-long scramble on Capitol Hill to redefine the terms of the negotiations. Senate Minority Leader Schumer described the understanding as a \"framework,\" but Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed the significance of the cross-party talks. \"It was a discussion, not an agreement or a negotiation,\" Ryan said. \"You cannot fix DACA without fixing the root cause of our problem. We do not have control of our borders.\" Ryan added that the president \"understands he has to work with the congressional majorities to get any kind of legislative solution.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Pelosi stated that Democrats believed they had reached an agreement to incorporate the DREAM Act into the immigration package, with the border wall to be addressed separately.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8165, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "702cc4ac8fc150aebfad6525336f8e488b0d4685", "raw_chars": 3394, "clean_chars": 3394, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A man driving a front loader shifts soil containing rare earth minerals to be loaded at a port in Lianyungang, east China's Jiangsu province, for export to Japan.

Another third is held together by former Soviet republics, the United States and Australia.\n\nBut a new study, published yesterday in the journal Nature Geoscience, points to an extraordinary concentration of rare-earth elements in thick mud at great depths on the Pacific floor.\n\nJapanese geologists studied samples from 78 sites covering a major portion of the centre-eastern Pacific between 120 and 180 degrees longitude.\n\nDrills extracted sedimentary cores to depths that in place were more than 50 metres below the sea bed.\n\nMore than 2000 of these cores were chemically tested for content in rare-earth elements.\n\nThe scientists found rich deposits in samples taken more than 2,000 kilometres from the Pacific's mid-ocean ridges.\n\nThe material had taken hundreds of millions of years to accumulate, depositing at the rate of less than half a centimetre per thousand years. They were probably snared by action with a hydrothermal mineral called phillipsite.\n\nAt one site in the central North Pacific, an area of just one square kilometre could meet a fifth of the world's annual consumption of rare metals and yttrium, says the paper.\n\nLab tests show the deposits can be simply removed by rinsing the mud with diluted acids, a process that takes only a couple of hours and, say the authors, would not have any environmental impact so long as the acids are not dumped in the ocean.\n\nA bigger question is whether the technology exists for recovering the mud at such great depths -- 4,000 to 5,000 metres -- and, if so, whether this would be commercially viable.\n\nLead author Yasuhiro Kato, a professor of economic geology and geochemistry at the University of Tokyo, said the response from mining companies was as yet unknown, \"because nobody knows the presence of the (rare-earth) -rich mud that we have discovered.\"\n\n\"I am not an engineer, just a geoscientist,\" Mr Kato said. \"But about 30 years ago, a German mining company succeeded in recovering deep-sea mud from the Red Sea.

I have spent years associating with these thumbless, pot-bellied, clumsy acrobats, yet the simplest questions often panic me. Why do they sometimes walk right up to me—even bump into me—while other times I can't get within 150 feet of them? Why don't they have opposable thumbs? All other monkeys do.

Similarly, some commodity traders have concluded that while there was a time to invest in commodities, that window has now closed.\n\nFor roughly a decade beginning in the early 2000s, commodity prices moved in only one direction: up. An investor who bet on oil, iron, gold, or silver in 2000 would have seen their investment grow by several hundred percent in real terms over ten years. Many commodities reached a frenetic peak in 2008, just before the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Even though prices fell sharply in late 2008 and early 2009, they bounced back quickly in the following years.\n\nPrice trends over the last few years are somewhat inconclusive, but there appears to be strong evidence that the commodity super cycle of the 2000s is indeed over and that the overall trend going forward will be downward. To understand this conclusion, we need to examine some basic workings of commodity markets.\n\nCommodity markets 101\n\nIt will come as little surprise that, as in other markets, prices in the commodity markets are determined by supply and demand. However, supply and demand in commodity markets have a number of interesting features. Generally, there is a long-term trend that is fairly inelastic in the short run, meaning that quantities demanded and supplied will not respond much as an immediate reaction to changes in price.\n\nHigh oil prices might lead Americans to switch to fuel-efficient cars over time, which will reduce oil consumption in the long run, but a $5 per barrel rise in the oil price today will not lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption next week. Similarly, high prices will lead to more investment in mines and oil wells, which will increase supply in the long run, but these projects can easily take a decade to come online. Thus, a decision taken today to invest (or not) driven by high (or low) prices will only result in greater supply in the mid-2020s.\n\nHence, while the underlying trends of supply and demand are usually moving slowly and steadily, daily prices are often determined by shocks: short-term disruptions in supply and demand.\n\nA particular feature of commodity markets is that these shocks on supply as well as demand are almost always negative, resulting in a lower quantity supplied or demanded. Such a negative shock, say the unrest in Libya in 2011 disrupting oil production or heavy rain in Colombia reducing the coffee crop, will lead to lower than expected supply and higher prices. It is hard to imagine a positive supply shock (\"El Dorado finally found!\"), which would lead to an unexpected increase in supply and falling prices. In agricultural commodities, a better than expected harvest is an example of a limited positive supply shock.\n\nSimilarly, on the demand side, surprises tend to be mostly on the downside. Demand for most commodities is driven by economic activity, hence a surprise recession (along the lines of the Lehman shock) can send commodity prices into a tailspin. A positive demand shock, on the other hand, would require an unexpected boom, which curiously does not seem to happen all that often.\n\nWhere we are now", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8193, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ffc3047e2ccd88a142e7be77d0449a86b5cff233", "raw_chars": 921, "clean_chars": 973, "edit_ratio": 0.1996, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "An Orthodox rabbi, Steve Greenberg, officiated at a same-sex wedding, marking what is believed to be the first time an ordained Orthodox rabbi has presided over such a ceremony in the United States.

There was one time, though. It was in a game during my sophomore season. I can’t remember who we were playing, but we won. And the strangest thing about it was that I played fine, if not pretty well. At least I thought so.\n\nBut as I was walking off the court, I heard a voice behind me. “Hey, Alford!”\n\nIf there’s one thing that’s common to all the trash talk I hear, it’s that no one—no opposing fan—ever just calls me Bryce. It’s always Alford. And the way they pronounce it, let’s just say that they don’t mean it as a last name. People really lean into it, like it’s a swear word.\n\n“Hey… Alford!”\n\nI turned around, and right behind me, up in the stands, I saw where the voice was coming from. It was a middle-aged guy—a stout, out-of-shape dude with a full beard. He was screaming, red in the face. Seemed really fired up. “Go back to New Mexico!”\n\nNormally, if he had been just some random rival fan, that kind of thing wouldn’t have fazed me too much. But then I saw what the guy was wearing. A blue hoodie. A blue UCLA men’s basketball hoodie.\n\nWe’d just won the game, and I was getting heckled by a UCLA fan? I’m getting taunted by our own fans?\n\nIn that moment, that guy got to me. I hate to admit it. He got under my skin. But I’ve thought about that moment a lot because it revealed something to me. At UCLA, the expectations are just different. I might not have known it then, but high expectations aren’t so bad.\n\nWhen I first started getting attention from college basketball programs—which was around my sophomore year of high school—my dad sat me down in our kitchen in Albuquerque. Keep in mind, he was the coach at New Mexico at this point. “I don’t want you to waste other coaches’ time,” he told me, “so if you know that you want to play for me then we need to make that known.”\n\nMy dad was always on the road recruiting, so I understood the importance of what he was advising me to do—even though I also knew it was a mind game he was playing with me. The truth was: I didn’t want to commit to a school yet. I was 15 years old and I was still curious about my options. I had a lot of friends from the AAU circuit who were starting to get recruited, too, and I wanted to find out what that process was all about.\n\nSo I told my dad I wanted to feel it out—to see what the alternatives looked like. It was a funny moment for me—for both of us. Growing up, I got pretty good at identifying when my dad was in “Coach Mode” and when he was in “Dad Mode.” To his credit, he was always really good at coming home after work—from a practice, a game, or a recruiting trip—and just being my dad. But this was new territory for us. I could tell I was playing with fire—trying to play both roles at the same time.\n\n“If that’s what you want to do, I’m all for that,” he said. “But if you’re not going to decide to commit to New Mexico now, I’m going to have to start recruiting to fill your spot.”\n\nThat statement hit me in the mouth.

Schmidt also manipulated the cat in the video. Later, Brad O'Farrell, the syndication manager of the video website My Damn Channel, obtained Schmidt's permission to reuse the footage. O'Farrell appended the clip to the end of blooper videos to humorously \"play off\" a person who had made a mistake or gaffe, similar to the vaudeville practice of getting the hook. This format became highly popular, with the appended videos usually titled \"Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat\" or a variant. The meme was ranked No. 2 on Current TV's list of 50 Greatest Viral Videos.\n\nIn 2009, Schmidt acquired another cat named Bento, who resembled Fatso, and used him to create new Keyboard Cat videos until Bento's death in March 2018. Schmidt has occasionally remarked that he might adopt or acquire a \"Keyboard Cat 3.0\".\n\nThe first \"Keyboard Cat\" video, entitled \"Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat,\" was created by Brad O'Farrell, who secured Schmidt's permission to use the footage and asked Schmidt to allow anyone to use it with or without permission.

Obama plans to shine a light on corporate welfare by creating an agency charged with identifying recipients of corporate subsidies and evaluating their effectiveness in promoting growth and opportunity. This agency will help identify wasteful subsidies that should be eliminated and prevent new corporate welfare initiatives from being passed. Additionally, Obama will ensure that any tax breaks for corporate recipients, or tax earmarks, are publicly available by directing the Office of Management and Budget to post them on its website in an easily searchable format.\n\nAs president, Obama aims to restore the American people's trust in their government by making it more open and transparent. He will work to reform congressional rules to require all legislative sessions, including committee mark-ups and conference committees, to be conducted in public. By making these practices public, the American people will be able to hold their leaders accountable for wasteful spending, and lawmakers will no longer be able to slip favors for lobbyists into bills at the last minute.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8224, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "b0fdd47fa3edddebde83b36c3286ee8b6dbf9f82", "raw_chars": 2946, "clean_chars": 3105, "edit_ratio": 0.4761, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Enforce Executive Branch Ethics: Currently, the Office of Governmental Ethics (OGE) operates solely as an advisory agency without enforcement authority. Ethics decisions are handled by approximately 4,000 individual ethics officers appointed by the head of each executive branch agency.

An Obama administration would grant the OGE robust enforcement powers, including the ability to issue binding regulations. It would collaborate with inspectors general across all federal agencies to enforce ethics rules, minimize waste, and ensure that federal officials do not use their positions for personal gain. Additionally, the OGE would serve as the central repository for all public records related to ethics in the Executive Branch, making this information accessible on its website. This would include records of conflicts-of-interest waivers that are requested and granted, personal financial statements of appointees, and the career histories of senior executive branch staff entering and leaving public service. Finally, the OGE would establish rules and procedures to document all oral and in-person \"lobbying contacts\" between registered lobbyists and political appointees, making these records available to the public through a searchable computerized database.\n\nNot Just Measure Performance, but Enforce Standards: Barack Obama would fundamentally reconfigure the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). He would open the currently insular performance measurement process to the public, Congress, and outside experts. Obama would eliminate ideological performance goals and replace them with objectives that Americans care about, grounded in congressional intent and feedback from the people served by government programs. He would also ensure that programs are not measured in isolation but are assessed in the context of other programs serving the same population or meeting similar goals. For example, a veteran might receive health care from a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital, disability benefits from a different federal office, other benefits from state programs, and local food aid. Obama’s performance improvement initiative would include cross-agency performance assessments where service delivery requires coordination across federal agencies and multiple levels of government.\n\nImplement Consequences for Success and Failure: The president requires the flexibility to enforce standards when programs consistently fail. Barack Obama would work with Congress to empower the president to take corrective actions, such as deploying performance teams to reform programs, replacing existing management, demanding improvement action plans, and cutting or eliminating program budgets entirely. Obama would also explore giving government managers the ability to collaborate with their teams to establish goals and award bonuses when those goals are achieved.

The rich:fileUpload component may not work correctly with Mojarra 2.2.7 and later when used with Internet Explorer. This is caused by an error in the Mojarra code combined with irregular behavior in Internet Explorer. The issue is not always present but can break the component. It will be fixed in Mojarra 2.3.0-m02; if you are using the JBoss distribution of JSF, the patch has been backported into version 2.2.9-jboss-2. In the meantime, you can use a JavaScript function as a workaround.

Bug fixes include correcting incorrect behavior of rich:select on Internet Explorer with many selectItems, resolving problems with rich:collapsiblePanel state and PartialViewState, fixing an issue where the tooltip @onshow event is called before the tooltip is displayed, and addressing nested collapsibleSubTable collapse issues. Other fixes involve a4j:push events not triggering a4j:ajax listeners, a4j:push not working with subtopics and JMS, rich:select being broken with empty lists, removing references to richfaces-parent in the Showcase, fixing ExtendedDataTable duplicates inside ui:repeat, resolving JMS Push long delays between enable and disable after upgrading Atmosphere, ensuring inputNumber* setValue cleans the input in page-fragments, fixing ExtendedDataTable selecting all rows, addressing rich:select single item list persistence, fixing ajax requests in multipart forms causing errors in versions less than 2.2.0, correcting the onclick event not triggering when clicking on the bottom part of the rich:select component, resolving a conflict where richfaces-core defines finalName with components/rich/pom.xml, and fixing the Showcase deployment issue on Tomcat.\n\nComponent upgrades include updating the weld-servlet dependency to version 2.2 and later.

Having picked it up over the Christmas holiday for about ten dollars, I can easily say it has earned its reputation as one of the best games of 2015, if not all time.\n\nUndertale is not the most visually impressive game. At most times, it looks like a 16-bit SNES game, and during battles, it resembles Pong. Its soundtrack is very well put together, but that is not where this game shines. Undertale holds you accountable for your choices in the game, even when you would not expect it.\n\nThe very first character you meet in Undertale is a little yellow flower. Isn't he so cute? In the combat tutorial, he emphatically tells you, \"Not cute, definitely not cute.\" You are rescued from this duplicitous weed by Toriel, a friendly-looking goat woman. Isn't she nice? She helpfully guides you through the first part of the Ruins, the first zone of the game, scaring away enemy encounters and metaphorically and literally holding your hand while walking you through the puzzles. Uh, thanks?\n\nAfter a point, she tells you to \"stay in this room\" and wait for her to come back. Anyone who has played a more traditional RPG knows this is the time you actually begin your adventure and start playing the game. Undertale's combat mechanics are very unique and deserve to be mentioned.\n\nWhen enemy monsters attack you, they launch bullets which you have to dodge using your soul, represented by a little red heart. It is harder than it looks, honestly. You can end encounters in two general ways. Either you use the FIGHT option to attack and kill monsters and collect EXP to increase your LV like usual in these sorts of games, landing your hit in the green part for bonus damage. Or, you can use the MERCY option to spare your enemies, after which they drop gold but give you no EXP. This can be challenging, as sometimes you have to use certain options in the ACT menu to make that happen, or you can just lower their HP first. Your choice. You can turn off the yellow highlighting if you want an extra challenge.\n\nAfter continuing through the Ruins, solving puzzles, encountering many monsters, and cheering up a gloomy ghost, you reach the end, where Toriel is waiting for you. It is hard not to be when everything is shooting bullets at you. She welcomes you into her home, having cooked a delicious pie and prepared a room for you. Aww, how sweet. She even leaves out a slice for you. How kind. You find her sitting in a comfy chair, reading. I will admit, while the graphics might not be top-caliber, the sprite work for this game is very high quality.\n\nOf course, like all RPGs, you must advance the plot eventually. Uh, OK? After several more rounds of dodging the question, Toriel heads into the basement, where she plans to destroy the door to the rest of the Underground. When you try to stop her, this happens. Oh boy. And then you enter a fight. The first thing I tried was talking; it had worked on pretty much every other enemy, so why would it not work on her? Well, you tried. After just sparing her seems to do nothing, I decide I have to fight back. They did expect me to do that, right? I hit her, then tried sparing her. Nothing. Hit her again, spared her again. Still nothing. I tried this multiple times, until—OH CRAP.

Panel (A) shows the linear rate of change in mass (in water equivalent height per year) during April 2002 to March 2015, derived from monthly GRACE observations and associated sea-level computations. Solutions are reproduced with different color scales for (B) the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS), (C) the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), and (D) the oceans.\n\nThe variations in polar motion induced by polar ice sheets, global glacial ice components (GICs), and terrestrial water storage (TWS) are shown in Figure 3A. Because the pole excitations are related to the degree 2 order 1 spherical harmonic (SH) coefficients of L(θ, λ, t), χ1(t) and χ2(t) are greatly sensitive to mass changes occurring around ±45° latitudes (fig. S1). Despite the proximity to the poles, the mass of ice sheets is changing so rapidly that they contribute greatly to drift in the pole position. Mass loss from the GIS yields positive and negative values of similar magnitudes. Positive trends for the AIS-associated χ1(t) and χ2(t) are driven by the combination of mass loss from the Amundsen Sea Sector and mass gain in Dronning Maud Land and Enderby Land. Mass loss from the Antarctic Peninsula acts to diminish one component while enhancing the other, contributing to a muted rate of χ1(t) compared to χ2(t) for the whole of the AIS. A similar interpretation can be made for TWS and global GICs.\n\nA large-scale water mass loss from Eurasia, as well as losses from southern South America, produce a large positive TWS-induced excitation. Glacial mass loss signals from Alaska and Patagonia collectively drive a negative excitation. In contrast, excitations driven by GICs in Alaska, the Canadian Arctic, High Mountain Asia, and Patagonia tend to operate with differing signs and, consequently, yield a muted negative excitation.\n\nFigure 3 shows climate-induced polar motion. Panel (A) displays polar motion excitations caused by four climate-related sources, while panel (B) shows the total reconstructed (REC) and observed (OBS) excitations. We add global (nontidal) atmospheric and oceanic mass (AOM)-associated excitations (in mas/year) to the reconstructed solutions and remove the 20th century linear trends from the observations (see Materials and Methods). (For ease of comparison, minor smoothing is applied to the observed data.) Large positive gradients during 2005–2012 (cyan shadow), followed by negative trends, are apparent for χ2(t), and it may be explained by analogous trends associated with TWS [see (A)].\n\nAs the space gravimetry time series lengthens, it might be possible to use observations of changes in the spin rate of the pole, proportional to the change in length of day ΔLOD(t), as additional constraints on continent-ocean mass transport. However, the interannual variability of this component of rotation is more strongly influenced by axial angular momentum transfer. Models of this angular momentum transfer currently lack the sophistication required for isolating surface mass transport from these ΔLOD(t) data (25). A separation would allow isolation of the change in Earth’s oblateness ΔJ2(t), which is fully independent of the SLR-based ΔJ2(t) used in our analysis. We elaborate on this issue in Materials and Methods.\n\nTo model the more complete picture of climate-driven surface mass redistribution, we also consider (nontidal) atmospheric and oceanic mass (AOM) contributions that were removed from the GRACE GSM data products.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8235, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7f431cb457e8af9050642c3de0fa907bfc1fbe18", "raw_chars": 3073, "clean_chars": 2959, "edit_ratio": 0.1472, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Life of Pablo is the seventh studio album by American rapper and recording artist Kanye West, released on February 14, 2016, by GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings.

Production on the album was handled by West alongside a variety of producers, including co-executive producers Rick Rubin and Noah Goldstein, as well as Mike Dean, Metro Boomin, Hudson Mohawke, Plain Pat, and Madlib. West also enlisted a wide array of guest vocalists, including Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, The Weeknd, Desiigner, Kid Cudi, The-Dream, Max B, French Montana, El DeBarge, Kelly Price, Kirk Franklin, Chance the Rapper, Rihanna, Sia, Frank Ocean, Swizz Beatz, Sampha, Vic Mensa, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug, and Caroline Shaw.\n\nThe album was preceded by several promotional singles as part of West's GOOD Fridays giveaways, including the tracks \"Real Friends\" and \"No More Parties in LA\". In the months leading up to its release, the album's title and tracklist underwent several publicized changes, and West's erratic activity on social media became the source of various controversies. An early version of the album was premiered by West at Madison Square Garden on February 11, 2016, as part of his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show in collaboration with Adidas. After several additional sessions and alterations, the album was launched exclusively through the streaming service Tidal three days later.\n\nFollowing its official streaming debut, West continued to make changes to The Life of Pablo, describing it as \"a living, breathing, changing, creative expression\" and declaring the end of the album as a dominant release form.

On one hand, there is almost no way to avoid the St. Patrick's Day theme on that weekend. It would be difficult to imagine writing a blog post about something like Korean food during such a time. On the other hand, St. Patrick's Day is the weekend when it seems everyone and their mothers go out to their local bars and drink far too much.\n\nBaltimore's entire St. Patrick's Day celebration felt only tangentially Irish. Perhaps it was inspired by Irish traditions, or maybe it was simply a large spring celebration that provided a reason for people to gather in the city.\n\nInterestingly, it is appropriate to note that many Irish expatriates celebrate St. Patrick's Day more enthusiastically than people in Ireland do. Parades outside of Ireland began in the 18th century and only spread back to Ireland in 1903. This does not mean that St. Patrick's Day is not significant in Ireland; it is a bank holiday, and St. Patrick is considered the patron saint of the country.\n\nIn fact, the bank holiday status meant that pubs were actually closed in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day. They did not start opening until the 1970s because tourists would visit Ireland to celebrate and find all the pubs shut. Dublin was probably one of the worst places to celebrate the holiday!\n\nNow that we know the truly traditional Irish way of celebrating would involve taking the day off, going to church, and fasting since it falls during Lent, let us discard that notion and celebrate in the way it is actually observed today.\n\nI did not write a post last week because I had friends visiting from out of town, but that also gave me the chance to participate in some of the festivities downtown. I initially thought it was odd that Baltimore was holding its parade a week early until I discovered that Annapolis held theirs the week before on the 5th. We really turn this into a full month of celebration around here.\n\nThere was the Shamrock Shindig in Pierces Park, which featured two non-Irish food trucks, some Irish music, and space for children to run around. I took Zuzu for a walk to check out the 5k race and the parade, which were scheduled to start back to back at 2 p.m. By the time I arrived at 1:30, it seemed they were already packing up.\n\nSince the parade was proceeding down Pratt Street from Charles Street to Market Street, they were just clearing traffic from the road as I arrived. I had the unusual experience of walking right down the middle of Pratt Street until I was yelled at and told to get out of the street because there was still traffic coming, even though there was not.\n\nI love running in the city and regularly use it as a way to get to the MARC train on my commute to work. Baltimore has many excellent running spots, including the Waterfront Promenade along the harbor, which is five miles long, the Gwynn's Falls Trail at 15 miles, the Jones Falls Trail at 8.1 miles, and Patterson Park, which offers a two-mile figure-eight route along with several other trails.

Sarathkumar was considered to be close to AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa. However, Sarath's proximity to Jayalalithaa landed him in deep trouble when the film 'Nattamai', which was still running in Tamil Nadu theatres, was aired by Jayalalithaa's television channel JJ TV. The channel used a U-matic tape that Sarathkumar had given her for personal viewing at her residence. The exact nature of the understanding between Jayalalithaa and Sarathkumar remains unknown, but the incident caused a furore in the film industry. Producer R. B. Choudary threatened action against Sarathkumar for misusing a tape given to him for personal viewing. An embarrassed Sarathkumar explained that he was taken by surprise and never expected Jayalalithaa to give it to the channel for telecast. He sought an explanation from both Jayalalithaa and JJ TV, but without success. The ruling party reacted predictably, using every forum to attack Sarathkumar.\n\nThe soundtrack was composed by Sirpy, with lyrics written by Vairamuthu. The songs included \"Naattamai Paadham Patta\" sung by Malaysia Vasudevan and Sindhu, \"Kotapaakum Kozhundhu Vettalaiyum\" by Mano and S. Janaki, \"Meenaponnu\" by Mano and Sujatha, and \"Naan Uravukaaran\" by Mohammed Aslam.\n\nNattamai was released on 2 November 1994, during Diwali. The Indian Express wrote that there was \"never a dull moment\" in the film. It became a blockbuster and completed a 175-day run at the box office.\n\nOwing to its success, the film was remade in Telugu as Pedarayudu in 1995, in Kannada as Simhadriya Simha in 2001, and in Hindi as Bulandi in 2000. Rajinikanth reprised Vijayakumar's character in the Telugu and Hindi remakes.\n\nThe tagline \"Nattamai, theerpa maathi sollu\" (Chieftain, change your judgement) became popular after the film's release. It became a trendsetter for many films in later years. The success of the film inspired similar themes about village chieftains. Vijayakumar's portrayal of a village chieftain received critical acclaim, and he went on to be typecast with similar characters in later films. The film gave a breakthrough in the career of Sarathkumar, and the actor did similar films such as Suryavamsam (1997), Natpukkaga (1998), Maayi (2000), Diwan (2003), and Ayyaa (2005), which featured him in double roles in the backdrop of villages.\n\nNattamai has been parodied and referenced many times. In a comedy scene from Aahaa Enna Porutham (1998), Goundamani mocks the superstitions of a village panchayat, saying that a chieftain should have an assistant tagging along with him and should have a pot of water. Comedian Vivek has parodied this aspect in many films. He did a similar spoof in Sandai (2008) and Thoondil (2008) and made fun of village rituals in Kadhal Sadugudu (2003). Scenes from the film were parodied in the Shiva-starrer Thamizh Padam (2010), in which Ponnambalam, who played the negative role in the original film, appeared as a village chieftain.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8259, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "fbbfa443257c0221acad4947670d1a559edb1962", "raw_chars": 937, "clean_chars": 951, "edit_ratio": 0.0191, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Members of the hostile elite, who were in full control of academia in the 1970s, announced that Marshall was too \"Anglocentric\" and no longer a \"true\" liberal.

He described the bill as historic legislation that would advance equality for millions of Americans, adding that the administration looks forward to working with Congress to ensure the legislative process balances bedrock civil rights principles with the religious liberty cherished in the country.\n\nAlthough there is little chance that the current Congress will approve the legislation, which was introduced in July by Democratic Senators Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, and Cory Booker of New Jersey, along with Representative David N. Cicilline of Rhode Island, President Obama’s support elevates the question of whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans need greater legal safeguards. This comes shortly after Houston voters rejected an ordinance that would have barred discrimination against gay and transgender people, following claims by opponents that it would allow men disguised as women to enter women’s restrooms.\n\nThe White House’s endorsement of the Equality Act coincided with President Obama becoming the first sitting U.S. president to be featured on the cover of an LGBT publication, after being named Out magazine’s \"Ally of the Year\" for 2015. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s June decision to legalize same-sex marriage, activists have been pressing for expanded protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity beyond employment discrimination, which had been the focus of past legislation.

Some leading civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, have been slow to endorse the legislation.

The survival of the entire species depends on his ability to reproduce with the two other females residing there.\n\nSudan, however, is no spring chicken. At 42 years old, he may no longer be able to \"naturally mount and mate with a female,\" conservancy deputy veterinarian George Paul told CNN. He also suffers from a low sperm count.\n\nTo make matters worse, the older of the two females has weak legs and may not be able to support Sudan during mating. The conservancy has been trying to coax a conception, but so far, it has had no luck.\n\nUnfortunately, most rhino species cannot interbreed. For example, a northern white rhino cannot mate with a black rhino. There is a chance, however, that a northern white rhino could mate with a southern white rhino, which is the only rhino species not currently on the endangered list.\n\nIf the entire population disappears from the globe, the result could spell catastrophe for African savannas and potentially the whole world. Poaching and habitat loss seriously threaten the rhino population. In 2013 alone, 1,004 rhinos were poached in South Africa. That is a terrible number considering only about 20,000 southern white rhinos and 5,000 black rhinos still inhabit South Africa. Other species of rhino fare even worse.\n\nRhinos, considered \"megaherbivores,\" are a keystone species and play a pivotal role in ecosystems. The removal of a keystone species has huge downstream effects on the ecosystem and can throw an entire community out of whack, as Jason G. Goldman explains in Conservation Magazine. For example, when agriculture and hunting decimated the Yellowstone wolves, the deer population exploded, leading to a decline in plant species.\n\nWhile we know less about how megaherbivores fit into ecosystems, a 2009 paper in the journal Science found that the extinction of Pleistocene megaherbivores caused similar large-scale damage in North America, addressing one of the most fundamental questions in modern ecology.\n\nTaking that a step further, rhino grazing specifically helps maintain savanna grasslands, and those grasslands sustain numerous other species, whether directly or through predation, according to a May 2014 study in the Journal of Ecology. The study focused on Kruger National Park in South Africa, where the rhinos' decline has already started to affect the structure and composition of grasslands. In areas with a high density of rhinos, researchers found more short grasses—an important metric for biodiversity, Goldman explains. Although seemingly counterintuitive, grazers like rhinos increase biodiversity by selecting certain plants over others, giving other species more ability to grow.\n\n\"Not only is rhino poaching threatening the species' conservation status, but also the potentially key role of this apex consumer for savanna ecosystem dynamics and functioning,\" the authors wrote.\n\nAside from providing food for numerous species, grasslands like the savannas serve an important global role as well. They act as natural \"carbon sinks,\" essentially functioning as storage lockers for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, a major cause of global warming.

While other parties involved could plea bargain, Schettino's request to strike a plea bargain was denied. By the time Schettino had his first appearance on 2 December 2014, he was left as the sole person to be accused of manslaughter. \"Schettino is (now) the only defendant, but he is not the only one responsible,\" opined Daniele Bocciolini, lawyer for some survivors. \"He's not responsible for the lifeboats that couldn't be launched nor for the (failing) emergency generators.\"\n\nIn his defense, Schettino explained that the sail-by salute was intended to pay homage to other mariners and, for business reasons, to present passengers a nice view. He denied that he did this to impress a Moldovan dancer whom he had brought to the bridge. He indicated that his actions saved the lives of many after the ship hit an uncharted rock. Schettino accused some of his crew of misunderstanding and botching his orders. In 2013 he had already indicated that his helmsman, Jacob Rusli Bin, failed to follow his orders and made an error in changing the course of the ship. Further, he blamed defective generators and flooding of compartments for aggravating the situation. His lawyer indicated that these malfunctions led to the fatalities, whereas Schettino did not kill anybody when the ship hit the rock.\n\nAt the end of the proceeding, the public prosecutor Magistrate Maria Navarro asked for a jail sentence of 26 years and three months. Confirming the charges, she parsed jail times as follows: 14 years for multiple manslaughter, nine years for causing a shipwreck, three years for abandoning the vessel and three months for failing to contact the authorities when the accident happened. Navarro accused Schettino of lying during the trial as well as in public interviews prior to trial.

On the night of June 25, the 19-year-old spent several hours at a friend’s place in West Orange, a town bordering his own, then texted his mother that he was heading home. He never arrived. Somewhere around midnight, as Tevlin pulled up to an intersection bordering a large wooded area, at least three and possibly four men approached his car. One of the men opened fire, killing the college student in a murder that shocked the quiet neighborhood, where violence is rare.\n\nIn the ensuing days, authorities claimed that their preliminary investigation determined that Tevlin had been “targeted,” a phrase suggesting that perhaps the young man had been the victim of a hit engineered by someone he knew. The viciousness of the killing—Tevlin had been struck by eight bullets—was one indication, investigators said, that this was more than just a chance encounter, such as a robbery gone bad. “It does not appear to be random,” a chief investigator said. Friends and family, however, were baffled by the authorities’ conclusion. “He was literally a good kid. No enemies—he always avoided controversy,” a family friend told the press.\n\nThose who knew Tevlin were closer to the truth than the investigators. Three weeks after the incident, police tracked down Tevlin’s alleged killer, Ali Muhammad Brown, living in a wooded area not far from where he’d shot the former Seton Hall Prep lacrosse player. Fingerprints that Brown had left on several items he’d stolen but later discarded led investigators to Seattle, where they learned that he was wanted for several killings. Ballistics tests determined that the same gun used to kill Tevlin had been employed in the Seattle-area murders of Dwone Anderson-Young and Ahmed Said on May 31. Witnesses identified Brown as the shooter, and Seattle police issued an alert for him, but he somehow made it across the country in just a few weeks, evading detection.\n\nEssex County, New Jersey prosecutors said that robbery had been the apparent motive in the Tevlin case, too, and they now believed that Brown had seemed to select Tevlin randomly. But the investigators’ characterization of the crime didn’t account for the viciousness of the killing, and something else bothered local residents. Press coverage in Seattle, the only other place that was writing about the Tevlin killing, noted that Brown had previously been convicted of bank fraud and served time in federal prison—and that Brown had claimed to be a Muslim jihadi.\n\nThen, in late August, the Kings County, Washington, prosecutors’ office charged Brown with a fourth murder, of Leroy Henderson, whom he allegedly shot on April 27 when Henderson was on his way home. In those charging documents, the Seattle Times reported, prosecutors revealed that Brown had described his four murders as “just kills,” or justified murders, in response to U.S. combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan: “All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So, a life for a life.” According to the Seattle report, the authorities there suspected that the motive for Brown’s bank fraud, which he undertook with several acquaintances who regularly gathered to discuss jihad, had been to raise money for Somali terrorists, though investigators hadn’t traced the money to any specific groups.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8321, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "af1b3135772fde8a7677771a882563e28d428ea5", "raw_chars": 793, "clean_chars": 939, "edit_ratio": 0.6767, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Maria Sharapova is back.

There is no community-agreed approach on writing CSS in JS at the moment, and we are hoping that one day a winner would emerge, just like Redux did, among all the Flux implementations. For now, we are banking on CSS Modules. CSS Modules is an improvement over existing CSS that aims to fix the problem of global namespace in CSS; it enables you to write styles that are local by default and encapsulated to your component. This feature is achieved via tooling. With CSS Modules, large teams can write modular and reusable CSS without fear of conflict or overriding other parts of the app. However, at the end of the day, CSS Modules are still being compiled into normal globally-namespaced CSS that browsers recognize, and it is still important to learn and understand how raw CSS works.\n\nIf you are a total beginner to CSS, Codecademy's HTML & CSS course will be a good introduction to you. Next, read up on the Sass preprocessor, an extension of the CSS language which adds syntactic improvements and encourages style reusability. Study the CSS methodologies mentioned above, and lastly, CSS Modules.\n\nEstimated Duration: 3–4 days. Try styling up your app using the SMACSS/BEM approach and/or CSS Modules.\n\nStudy Links\n\nAlternatives\n\nMaintainability\n\nCode is read more frequently than it is written. This is especially true at Grab, where the team size is large and we have multiple engineers working across multiple projects. We highly value readability, maintainability and stability of the code and there are a few ways to achieve that: \"Extensive testing\", \"Consistent coding style\" and \"Typechecking\".\n\nTesting — Jest + Enzyme\n\nJest is a testing library by Facebook that aims to make the process of testing pain-free. As with Facebook projects, it provides a great development experience out of the box. Tests can be run in parallel resulting in shorter duration. During watch mode, by default, only the tests for the changed files are run. One particular feature we like is \"Snapshot Testing\". Jest can save the generated output of your React component and Redux state and save it as serialized files, so you wouldn't have to manually come up with the expected output yourself. Jest also comes with built-in mocking, assertion and test coverage. One library to rule them all!\n\nReact comes with some testing utilities, but Enzyme by Airbnb makes it easier to generate, assert, manipulate and traverse your React components' output with a jQuery-like API. It is recommended that Enzyme be used to test React components.\n\nJest and Enzyme make writing front-end tests fun and easy. When writing tests becomes enjoyable, developers write more tests. It also helps that React components and Redux actions/reducers are relatively easy to test because of clearly defined responsibilities and interfaces. For React components, we can test that given some props, the desired DOM is rendered, and that callbacks are fired upon certain simulated user interactions. For Redux reducers, we can test that given a prior state and an action, a resulting state is produced.\n\nThe documentation for Jest and Enzyme is pretty concise, and it should be sufficient to learn them by reading it.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8332, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "47eeac213be470f9c648f1f85000fd8f54312132", "raw_chars": 1316, "clean_chars": 1070, "edit_ratio": 0.7963, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Stop Wasting Your Life: How Living in a Van for Nine Months Changed the Trajectory of My Journey\n\nOpting out of the mundane nine-to-five lifestyle has opened my eyes to the limitless opportunities that abound.

Lo and behold, we're looking at the thing being torn down from the top of the pyramid. Then we get that character beat for White Rat, which came from David and Dan, to show how pleased the Unsullied were with themselves, and we as an audience are like, Yeah, right on!

The type of player the Braves need Davidson to be is the one that hits 30 home runs a year, not 300 ground balls. That is just not his game.

The answer is not really, but you are almost 1,000 words in, so you might as well keep reading.\n\nSo what does the scouting tell us?\n\nI have now had five opportunities to see Davidson in person, and many others to watch online. From this, I can really take out three key points.\n\nBraxton Davidson has the most advanced approach of any high school draftee that I have seen. There are certain players in A-ball that go up to the plate and look like A-ball players. Davidson brings a completely different attitude to the plate. He works deep into counts and waits for his pitches. He sees more pitches than anybody, and yes, that will lead to a lot of two-strike counts and strikeouts. It also leads to a lot of seven- and eight-pitch walks that will wear a starter down. Very rarely is there a player that you say is almost too patient at the plate, and Davidson is one of those.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8353, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "ed07a6dbfb97cb2c069667ec6854ff44949569bf", "raw_chars": 3406, "clean_chars": 3314, "edit_ratio": 0.2452, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "He hits the ball hard. Sometimes he may struggle to make contact, but when he does, you know it. The ball comes off his bat screaming for its life, getting through the infield before the infielders can even take two steps. He can put balls deeper in the trees than any player in the Braves farm system and can take a pitch out to all parts of the park. It's not just his home runs, either. He hits those types of ground balls that make you think, \"Wow, that would have gone a long way if he had hit it in the air,\" and he can bank line drives off the fence in right field. The power is real.\n\nHe's not afraid to use all fields. This is perhaps my favorite part about Davidson and the one that reminds me most of Joey Votto, along with his plate discipline. He can turn on a fastball, and he can hang with an outside curveball and line it to the left fielder just as easily. His spray chart is a thing of beauty, and it seriously makes me wonder why he can't just put the ball in play more.\n\nGathered together, this shows a pretty clear view of what we are seeing with Davidson. His approach, while amazing and beneficial, has a few downsides, especially for someone who doesn't have the elite contact skills of someone like Votto. He is going to strike out, and he is going to strike out a lot, and unless he makes some tweaks to his game, he always will. At the same time, he is always going to be a high walk guy who will have an OBP approaching the mid or even upper three hundreds even when he isn't hitting all that well.\n\nThe biggest thing that shows out for Davidson now is his ISO. Of the three possibilities posed, I can completely dismiss two of them. Davidson is a very smart hitter. He knows what he's doing and knows his game well enough to not think that he needs to be a line-drive ground-ball hitter. He certainly cares as well. By all accounts, he works hard on his game and is willing to make necessary changes to be a better player. So right now, it looks like his swing just might not be creating loft at this point. When you watch him, this becomes even more apparent, as many of even his fly balls don't have a ton of backspin or carry to them. Again, he is just 19. There is the time and the means by which he can improve. The approach he has and the power to all fields leaves him so close to potentially being one of the top power-hitting minor leaguers. If he can do that, the walks will continue to come even more with time as pitchers choose to pitch around him rather than give up 450-foot home runs.\n\nSo what are these Joey Votto and Dan Uggla comparisons I've been throwing around? Despite the difference in handedness and position, I quite like the comparison between Uggla and Davidson. Both are high-strikeout, high-walk guys who didn't show a ton of power in their early time in the minor leagues. Uggla's third season was his breakout, hitting .290 with 23 home runs, so hopefully Davidson follows suit. If he were to follow the same path as Uggla, he would be debuting in 2019 as a 22-year-old. Of course, Uggla's story is well known. He hit 190 home runs in his first six years as a major leaguer prior to his precipitous decline. The good thing for Davidson is that he would be debuting a full three years later, perhaps delaying his decline and providing a much longer peak.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8363, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "ad98628ccd8f7ce02c49687ecc5d35c3c8976d38", "raw_chars": 3449, "clean_chars": 3266, "edit_ratio": 0.0308, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "\"Each year our ability to make cooler, more epic projects improves, but there is a limit to what we can do with just our resources,\" he wrote on his Kickstarter page.\n\nThings quickly escalated when a local newscast picked up the story.

What does \"other consideration\" mean in this context? If the marketing and distribution inherently provided by a user-generated content website is enough, the law will almost never apply. Perhaps we will see websites or apps offering nominal compensation to users to bypass the law.\n\nThe law only allows minors to remove their content from the site where they posted it, and the removal right does not apply where someone else has copied or reposted the content on that site. Removing the original copy typically accomplishes the minor's apparent goal only when it is the only copy online; otherwise, the content will live on and remain discoverable. Given how often publicly available content gets copied elsewhere on the internet, especially when it is edgy or controversial, minors' purported control over the content they post will be illusory in most circumstances.\n\nOdds are that the more embarrassing the post is, the more likely it was shared. The law does not require that these shared posts be hidden, which is appropriate. It would be unfair to give websites the impossible task of tracking down and hiding each iteration of a post on their site or on the entire internet. However, it is unclear if hiding the original post will make much of a difference in cases where a teen's photos are shared and used against them. For example, in New York, an ex-NFL player created a website where he shared photos teens publicly posted on social media of themselves trashing and partying in a home he had up for sale. The teens in this case were able to delete their photos, but only from the original source.\n\nConsider a newspaper that prepares a collection of stories written by teens about their first-hand experiences with cyberbullying. These stories are combined with other content on the topic, such as articles by experts on cyberbullying, screenshots of cyberbullying activity online, and photos of victims and perpetrators. After the newspaper publishes the collection, one of the teenagers changes his or her mind and demands that the newspaper never reprint the collection, seeking a court order blocking republication. Does the newspaper have a potential First Amendment defense to the court order? Yes, and the question is not even close.\n\nSimilarly, a user-generated content website creates a topical area on cyberbullying and asks its registered users, including teens, to submit their stories, photos, screenshots, and videos on the topic. The website \"glues\" the materials together with several articles written by its employees. Does the website have a First Amendment interest in continuing to publish the entire collection? Yes, and like the newspaper example, the answer is not even close.\n\nFirst, the law protects minors' \"personal information\" but does not define the term.

The bullet would have entered Hodson's body 62 inches from the ground and exited 61 inches from the ground. If the shot was fired at a downward angle, the bullet would have hit the road forty feet from where Hodson was hit. This also suggested that Hodson could have been shot from another elevated point and possibly by another prison officer, casting doubt on whether Ryan had fired the fatal shot. However, the prosecution argued that Hodson, who was 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall, could have been running in a stooped position, thus accounting for the bullet's fatal angle of entry.

Immigrants to America were forced to improvise, since wood-burning ovens were scarce and there was nary a San Marzano tomato (said to be the sweetest in the world, thanks to low-acid soil at the foot of Mount Vesuvius). A distinct American-style pizza emerged, but lately some artisan dough rollers have returned to the traditional Napoli style, going so far as to be trained and certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, a Naples-based organization, which back in the ’90s pestered the Italian government until Neapolitan pizza received recognition as a distinctly regional culinary craft—on par with Chianti and certain cheeses.\n\nTutta Bella was the first Seattle pizzeria to be certified. Founded in 2004 after onetime Starbucks exec Joe Fugere was inspired by his Italian grandmother—“you don’t know real pizza,” she used to tell him—to learn to make the old-country pizzas that sparked her vaguely insulting nostalgia. In Naples he discovered that product consistency was as fetishized as it was in corporate America: Dough must be kneaded by hand or with a slow mixer and cooked in a bell-shaped wood-fired oven at a temperature of 800 to 1,000 degrees. It must be crafted from low-gluten flour, milled just outside of Naples, and topped with pomodoro made from the aforementioned San Marzanos.

Someone along the way decided to drink this beverage, and thus, alcohol was born.\n\nThis honey and beer mashup was nothing akin to our modern understanding of mead or beer, but it was the foundation of some of the greatest beverages known to man. Over many years, the two have become distinct beverages. That is probably because the official term for such a hybrid of beer and mead is braggot, and anything that rhymes with maggot was clearly not meant to be popular.\n\nAt heart, mead, also known as honey wine, is a truly simple beverage. It can be carbonated like beer or kept still like a table wine. I have mostly preferred carbonated meads personally. If you let mead ferment fully and do not add any additional sugars, which is my preference, you will end up with a delicious, champagne-like beverage, especially if you use a champagne yeast for fermentation. If you have never tried mead, I would recommend trying offerings from RedStone and B Nektar, both excellent mead makers.\n\nThe basic mead recipe consists of honey, yeast, and enough water to reach the brewer's desired gravity, or sugar concentration. Frequently, mead home-brewers will also add a yeast nutrient since honey doesn't have the same inherent nutrients that malts do for beer, which ensure active and healthy fermentation.\n\nI decided to make mead last year after reading one of many brewing books I own, specifically The Brewer's Apprentice, written by Greg Koch of Stone Brewing and Matt Allyn, an award-winning home brewer and Certified Beer Judge. Chapter 16 of the book is dedicated to mead, and though I had only tried it a handful of times, I got to thinking this would be a fun experiment.\n\nSince we were mead-brewing virgins, my partner and I liked the idea of trying a few recipes. We purchased five 1-gallon fermentors and made small batches using a variety of honeys, specifically Mesquite Desert honey from Trader Joe's, local raw honey, plus wildflower, buckwheat, and orange blossom honey from Deer Creek Honey Farms.\n\nYou would think all honeys would taste rather similar, but there really is a huge difference in the flavor of honeys from different locations and which plants they pollinate. Mesquite honey is a bit spicy, while the orange blossom is citrusy. I personally really liked how the mesquite honey mead turned out. It had a more complex, peppery flavor that I adore.\n\nBasic Honey Mead Recipe\n\nFor each 1-gallon batch, you will need:\n\n1 gallon glass carboy\nEnough sterile water to fill the carboy with honey added\n1 tsp Yeast Nutrient\ndry yeast (1/3 packet rehydrated per batch) – we used Lalvin D-47 Yeast and Lalvin RC-212", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8420, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "539a26c3e7e4243fe0e5d85296cb8b892d724ca7", "raw_chars": 1548, "clean_chars": 1504, "edit_ratio": 0.5714, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Workers at Petrobras in the Campos Basin have initiated an indefinite strike in protest against the company's latest wage increase offer.

In this formation, the playside tackle leaves the player he normally blocks alone, as that defender becomes the pitch read. Instead, the tackle moves to engage the playside linebacker. He must take on the playside linebacker because the playside A-back is now responsible for blocking on the perimeter, while the backside A-back becomes the pitch back.\n\nPlay 3 illustrates midline triple in action. First, note that the backside A-back achieves good pitch relation despite not being in motion. This is because the quarterback's footwork draws him toward the backside, reducing the distance the A-back must travel to establish a proper pitch position. Also observe how the playside guard and tackle work together to handle the playside linebacker and the safety. Since this is a triple option, there is no kickout block on what would typically be the outside linebacker. Consequently, the tackle can take on the playside linebacker, freeing up the playside A-back in twirl motion to assist with perimeter blocking.\n\nNormally, when midline triple is called, the defense places a defensive tackle on or inside the playside tackle, closing too quickly for the quarterback to make an effective read on an inside veer. By calling midline triple, the footwork positions the quarterback and B-back farther from the dive read after the snap, buying the quarterback enough time to make a good read. Almost all midline triple options result in a pitch. Midline triple is another effective play when the defense brings edge blitzes.\n\nWashing Defenders Down\n\nSometimes, when a defender is supposed to be kicked out, such as the defensive end or outside linebacker on a midline play, they pinch inside across the playside tackle's face in a way that makes a kickout block impossible. This is not a major issue. The easiest way to handle this is to take the defender where he wants to go. When this results in sealing the defender inside, it is called \"washing down.\"\n\nPlay 4 shows midline with arc blocking, but on this play, the man who is supposed to be kicked out by the tackle pinches inside. The tackle simply washes him down, and the quarterback, who has a keep read, goes around the block for a huge gain.\n\nPlay 4 endzone view shows the same play from an endzone perspective.\n\nThis concludes the discussion on the midline option play. This is the play for an offense that attacks the A-gap and is likely the most commonly run play in this system. The next article will cover what is probably the simplest play in the offense: the zone dive.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8429, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "bc0b5a5702e65bcca84e893284ab28fb360b3e80", "raw_chars": 3481, "clean_chars": 3580, "edit_ratio": 0.1893, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The article on the inside veer discussed how the quarterback reads a defender. If the defender turns his shoulders inward toward the quarterback, it indicates a keep read. As seen in the example, the guard dips his outside shoulder and rips through to avoid the read defender. The read defender closes down to prevent a hole from opening once the guard moves onto a linebacker, effectively putting the read defender on a path to take away the dive. The quarterback sees the turned shoulders and pulls the ball.\n\nHere is a midline play with a give read. The guard avoids the first defender past the center, similar to the previous read example. However, in this instance, the defender keeps his shoulders square to the line. The quarterback is taught that square shoulders indicate a give read.\n\nVariations and Using the A-Backs\n\nOn the perimeter, the split ends stalk block the deep defenders just as they do on the inside veer. There are a wide variety of ways to utilize the A-backs on midline. For Paul Johnson teams, their favorite method is to send both A-backs through the B-gap to lead block for the quarterback. This is why midline is sometimes referred to as a power running play. The backside A-back motions as if he is going to be a pitch back, but off the snap, he plants hard and leads through the B-gap. The playside A-back takes an inside step and loops inside the playside tackle's block to engage the playside linebacker.\n\nIn one example of midline double lead in action, the first man to the left of the center is the dive read, and he comes down for the B-back, giving the quarterback a keep read. Note the two lead blocks made by the A-backs. Another way to distinguish this play from others in this offense is the footwork of the quarterback. Watch how he almost hops or moves to the backside of the play before continuing playside. Also note the slightly longer motion taken by the A-back. This helps to set him up in a position to come downfield and lead block. Had the motion been cut shorter, as it would have been on inside veer, the A-back would not have been able to get out in front of the quarterback in time to lead block.\n\nAnother way to run midline is with a counter or \"twirl\" motion. The playside A-back motions as if it is inside veer to the other side, then off the snap he leads for the playside linebacker. The backside A-back runs a pitch track. When these teams run the triple option version of midline, they often use this look with the A-backs.\n\nThe twirl motion can help by getting linebackers or secondary players to start rotating away from the play, giving the offense a numbers advantage on the playside. At the same time, the pitch track by the A-back not in motion helps to keep playside secondary defenders honest. If those defenders start chasing the twirl motion, the offense can run a play with the same motion but deliver the ball to the A-back coming around on the pitch track.\n\nA third way to block midline with the A-backs is to motion the backside A-back and lead him through the hole like the original version, but then have the playside A-back arc block on the run support defender. To the secondary, this looks like inside veer on the perimeter, which can sometimes pull defenders into the alley, opening up holes in between the tackles.\n\nIn another example of midline with arc blocking, similar to inside veer, watch how the arc release by the A-back at the bottom of the screen pulls the safety to his side away from the middle. When the B-back busts it past the linebackers, there is no safety help.\n\nMidline Triple", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8449, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "0c43e9cbd98801744d8a67b9569614828df7318d", "raw_chars": 997, "clean_chars": 926, "edit_ratio": 0.1981, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The chief judge for the US District Court of Guam struck down the territory's same-sex marriage ban on Friday.

Of course, I knew intellectually that DRAM loses data when you turn the power off, but I never followed it through to the realization that the memory would gradually turn to zeroes as the electrons trickled out of their tiny holding pens.\n\nSo I used the BIOS to zero out the section of memory where I loaded the kernel, and it booted every time. After that, it didn't take long to figure out that the part of the bootloader code that was supposed to zero out the kernel's BSS section had been broken by our enthusiastic PowerPC developer. The BSS is the part of the binary that contains variables that are initialized to zero at the beginning of the program. To save space, the BSS is not usually stored as a string of zeroes in the binary image, but initialized to zero after the program is loaded but before it starts running. Obviously, it causes problems when variables that are supposed to be zero are something other than zero.

A US District judge in Illinois also ordered Dish to demonstrate that it has reformed its practices and to hire a third-party compliance expert to ensure the company does not call residents on Do Not Call lists in the future.\n\nThe FTC stated in a press release that the civil penalty would be split so that $168 million goes to the federal government, with the remainder divided among the four states: California, Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio.

This is what some people have referred to as the \"export\" from VoteBuilder. As noted below, users were unable to export lists of people.\n\nSecond, there has been independent confirmation that NGP VAN has not received previous notice of a data breach regarding NGP VAN. Josh Uretsky, the former National Data Director for the Sanders campaign, confirmed on MSNBC at 5:47 and also on CNN that the previous incident was not within the VAN VoteBuilder system, but rather another system.\n\nThe security and privacy of our customers' data is a top priority. Over the company's 19-year history, we have not had a problem with that; but on Wednesday, we did have a brief isolated issue for users of one of our products.\n\nFirst, no NGP data was impacted by this situation, nor any Action ID or FastAction data. No client websites or website data were impacted, either. For VAN clients, no myMembers, myWorkers, or myCampaigns data was impacted. The one area that was impacted was voter file data. We are confident at this point that no campaigns have access to or have retained any voter file data of any other clients, with one possible exception: one of the presidential campaigns. NGP VAN is providing a thorough report to the DNC on what happened and conducting a review to ensure the integrity of the system.\n\nHere is what happened.\n\nOn Wednesday morning, there was a release of VAN code. Unfortunately, it contained a bug. For a brief window, the voter data that is always searchable across campaigns in VoteBuilder included client scores it should not have, on a specific part of the VAN system. So for voters that a user already had access to, that user was able to search by and view (but not export or save or act on) some attributes that came from another campaign.\n\nAs soon as we realized that there was an issue, we immediately mobilized our engineers to investigate the source of the issue. While we investigated the issue, we restricted access to affected areas of the VAN product for all users and limited access to data exports. Engineers quickly discovered the problem and developed a fix.\n\nWe immediately began an audit to determine if any users had intentionally or unintentionally gained access to data they normally would not have access to within the limited timeframe when the bug was live.

The Humane Society of the United States, the Wild Fish Conservancy, and two individual plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to prevent the authorization from taking effect on Tuesday.\n\nThe hungry sea lions swim 140 miles upstream and cluster at the Bonneville Dam, located on the border between Oregon and Washington, to eat salmon and steelhead trout as the fish migrate up the Columbia River to spawn. The states view this predation as a threat to the recovery of the fish populations.\n\nHowever, animal rights activists argue that the sea lions are unfairly blamed for low fish stocks. They contend that commercial fishing, hatchery practices, hydroelectric dam barriers, and environmental degradation pose a far greater risk to the salmon.\n\n“Federal law allows the killing of sea lions only in very limited circumstances, when the agency proves they are having a significant negative impact on salmon,” said Jonathan Lovvorn, senior vice president of the Humane Society, in a written statement. “The National Marine Fisheries Service’s decision to kill hundreds of native marine mammals to reduce salmon losses by a couple of percentage points at best, while simultaneously authorizing much larger man-made sources of endangered salmon mortality, is both outrageous and patently illegal.”\n\nBrian Gorman, a spokesman for the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Seattle office, called the legal challenge “not unexpected.” “Now, it is up to the court to respond,” Gorman said.\n\nWildlife activists have battled the fisheries service in court for several years over the controversial practice of killing sea lions to protect stocks of Columbia River basin Chinook salmon. The sea lions are protected under the Marine Mammals Protection Act, and the suit charges that the fisheries service’s order violates those laws.\n\nUnder the order, the states can kill only sea lions known to have eaten salmon and are limited to 92 animals per year. The sea lions can be killed only if zoos or aquariums do not want them. Since 2008, the states have killed 28 sea lions, and 10 have been sent to zoos or aquariums.\n\nThe federal permission was set to run from March 20 to May 2016.

Research has shown that about 85 percent of the trouble lies within their own management—that is, in the production system itself, for which they alone are responsible.\n\nWhat would be an example of a management-based problem? If the material is uniformly bad, that is the fault of management. A shoe manufacturer, for instance, asked me to help him because his operators were spending most of their time threading the sewing machines. In about 24 hours I had located the trouble. Management was buying cheap thread. To save 15 cents per spool, they were losing $150 per hour because the inferior thread required so much rethreading. They bought better thread, and the problem disappeared overnight.\n\nAre managers out of touch? Yes. The prevailing—and foolish—attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he is managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, yet he is put in charge anyway.\n\nWhat can be done about ineffective management? For one thing, our business schools have to change. Their graduates get a good education in economics, law, and finance, but they are not taught statistical methods in research and production. For instance, they do not learn the connection between what people need, the cost of materials, and what can be produced economically.\n\nDoes job security affect productivity? In Japan, a company worker's position is secure. If his present job is eliminated by productivity improvements, he is retrained for another job. If a worker has an idea, he can present it to the president, and the door is always open. The worker does not have to worry about whether he will have a job tomorrow; he does not have to try to please somebody or conceal problems just to keep his job. There is such a difference between working in a secure position and working in an insecure one.\n\nIs job security the key factor, then? I do not know if it is, or if participation is. I have seen how deeply plant workers appreciate it when somebody recognizes and respects the storehouse of knowledge they accumulate day to day on the job. Giving people the opportunity to participate in improving the product pays off, because workers realize that security is not worth much if the product is shoddy.\n\nDoes that mean that Japanese workers work harder than American workers? Japanese workers work less hard. They work smarter, not harder. They produce more with less and less effort as the quality goes up.\n\nHow exactly do you hope to achieve improved U.S. productivity along with improved quality of our manufactured goods? By using statistical methods to improve quality. Statistical analysis helps you stabilize the system so the product is the same today, tomorrow, and thereafter. It helps you eliminate waste. By describing statistically exactly what is being done, the method locates problems, forces innovation, and lets you measure your progress.\n\nIn simple terms, how does it work? I set up a control chart for each major section of the production line. The worker takes readings of the performance of the machine or of his own handwork and makes a very simple calculation—maybe a subtraction, maybe taking an average—to plot an upper-control limit and a lower-control limit, two parallel lines on a graph.\n\nDoes this define the machine's normal range of reliability?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8483, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "0436e2e829d4b0223b51d3f05e5b92f12bc67f9d", "raw_chars": 2777, "clean_chars": 2855, "edit_ratio": 0.8043, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A document obtained by Nevin through a Freedom of Information Act request suggests that Bales may have taken mefloquine during his final tour in Afghanistan.

However, Nevin has been unable to identify who filed the adverse event report, and it is possible that the filer had no direct knowledge of Bales's case. Browne, the defense attorney, told the Seattle Times that he does not know whether Bales took mefloquine in Afghanistan because his medical records are incomplete.\n\nThe drug remains detectable in the blood for up to a month, but the Army has not stated whether Bales was tested. If evidence emerges that Bales was taking mefloquine at the time of the murders, it could serve as mitigating evidence during his sentencing hearing, according to Christopher Slobogin, a professor of criminal law and psychiatry at Vanderbilt University. The relevant legal principle is known as involuntary intoxication. Slobogin explains that this does not refer to someone simply being intoxicated, but rather to a person taking a drug—either unknowingly or without awareness of its potential side effects—that causes serious cognitive impairment. \"The classic example is someone slipping LSD in your coffee,\" Slobogin said. \"It implies an inability to appreciate what one is doing or to appreciate the wrongness of what one is doing.\"\n\nThe recent FDA announcement, which highlights psychiatric side effects lasting months or years, could also benefit the defense, particularly if there is only evidence that Bales took mefloquine during previous tours in Iraq and no proof that he was using it at the time of the crime. \"That's obviously helpful to the defense,\" Slobogin noted.\n\nWilliam Woodruff, a law professor at Campbell University in Raleigh, North Carolina, and a former colonel in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, stated that the accused is given considerable leeway during the sentencing phase to present evidence of extenuation and mitigation. Woodruff believes it is likely that the court would admit evidence regarding mefloquine at the sentencing hearing, though predicting how much weight it would carry is difficult.\n\nOn August 19, a military jury will convene to determine Bales's fate. His guilty plea removes the death penalty from consideration, leaving the question of whether his life sentence will include any possibility of parole.

On Tuesday, the cabinet is set to approve measures that will spark a revolution in power generation, transport, housing, planning, manufacturing, and farming over the next two decades. The overarching aim is to mitigate the worst ravages of global warming.\n\nThese proposals form the basis of the fourth budget from the Committee on Climate Change and will be presented for cabinet consideration this week, with the goal of enacting them into law by the end of June. Initial hostility from Business Secretary Vince Cable and Treasury officials, who feared that funds needed for economic recovery were being wasted on projects with no immediate benefit, has been swept aside. Soon, the country will be committed to the radical goal of cutting carbon dioxide emissions to approximately 390 million tonnes per year by 2027.\n\nTo put those figures in perspective, current emissions stand at 550 million tonnes, while subsequent measures could drive reductions even further—to around 200 million tonnes—by the middle of the century. Consequently, the cabinet will trigger changes that lead to the virtual decarbonisation of British society. The fossil fuels—coal, gas, and oil—that powered Britain to industrial and imperial might will be outlawed. In their place, wind farms, nuclear power stations, electric vehicles, and underground carbon dioxide storage facilities will provide the bedrock for future economic growth. Britain's basic infrastructure is facing a radical rebuilding.\n\nOther nations have made emission commitments, but most have planned no further than the end of this decade. The Committee on Climate Change's budget takes Britain ten years further down the line. As chief executive David Kennedy notes, \"We have moved into uncharted territory and we are going to be watched, carefully, by other countries. No one else has a target like this.\"\n\nThe budget is therefore not just of domestic importance but of international significance. Foreign Secretary William Hague has made plain his backing for the plan, stating last month, \"If our domestic resolve is seen to be weakening, we will lose traction elsewhere.\" But what kind of nation will Britain be once it begins investing those billions, raised from taxes and increased electricity costs, in new infrastructure? The way we move around the country and power our homes and businesses will change drastically. According to the committee, by 2027, the country should be generating 40% of its electricity from renewable sources (up from just a few percent currently) and 40% from nuclear plants (roughly double its present level). The remainder will come from coal, gas, and oil plants, with the crucial caveat that most will be connected to carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems. These systems will trap carbon dioxide emissions and pump them underground for safe storage.\n\nWith this infrastructure, Britain can free itself from its dependence on fossil fuels and seriously cut back on harmful carbon emissions, the committee argues. However, a significant challenge remains: most of this technology does not exist yet. Carbon capture and storage, for example, is still largely theoretical, with only a gleam in the eyes of a few enthusiastic geologists. At present, only one or two pilot plants are in operation, meaning the technology remains largely unproven.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8504, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "4b86d6150dffcd1c1eb8273609711e4414580ae2", "raw_chars": 727, "clean_chars": 865, "edit_ratio": 0.5565, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This release includes numerous bug fixes throughout the source code, many of which were introduced during the transition to using binaries in ejabberd.

This is why the pixel-art style appeals to me, because it is a lot easier for me to create pixel art.\n\nSo, I played around and created a few tanks in Blender and The GIMP, and posted them as animated GIFs to Twitter and Google+. People seemed to like them, and some even expressed a desire to see how they were created. So I figured, \"Hey, I have always wanted to do a screencast.

His parents had refused paramedics' demands to transport him. A concerned neighbor had apparently called for an ambulance, but John's father, Tom Shiflett, who had served in the medic corps in Vietnam, evaluated his son and decided to monitor him at home. He instructed the paramedics to leave without the boy.\n\nAccording to the report, a member of the paramedic team then contacted police and the sheriff's office, eventually resulting in a magistrate's order for the boy to be seized.

In 2015, Cincinnati had one of the best offensive lines in football. With Andrew Whitworth far and away the top player on the Bengals' offensive line, Zeitler has a strong case to be considered the next-best player. So, is there even a scenario in which the Bengals let one of their top offensive linemen walk in free agency?\n\nThe financial implication of having to pay Zeitler millions after paying Clint Boling when he hit free agency last year scares fans, as most don't believe the Bengals are willing to allocate more money to the guard position. But contrary to popular belief, Cincinnati may be willing to do so. It is important to remember that when the Bengals paid Boling, they already knew a Zeitler extension would be something that needed to be worked out in 2016.\n\nThe good news for the Bengals is that they have the cap space to pull off a Zeitler extension. Assuming Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher take over at the tackle spots after the 2016 season, the Bengals' offensive line payroll will drop off significantly after the upcoming season. Though Boling has a contract that will pay him an increasing sum each season, the millions they will be saving by either letting Whitworth walk (around six or seven million dollars per season) or holding onto him as a reserve tackle (around three or four million dollars per season) leaves space for a Zeitler extension.\n\nAnd as the Bengals have done with past contracts, like the Vontaze Burfict extension, they will likely frontload Zeitler's extension, taking a big cap hit in 2017 in order to lower his yearly cap hit moving forward. Because Zeitler has consistently proven to be durable, the team likely wouldn't have an issue in doing so. As long as Cincinnati front-loads Zeitler's contract, giving him a deal that is worth somewhere between $6-7 million (or potentially up to $8 million) in average yearly salary would be more than fair.\n\nThe Bengals won't be alone in paying interior linemen big money. The Vikings pay Alex Boone and Brandon Fusco a combined $11.55 million in average yearly salary. The Raiders pay Kelechi Osemele and Rodney Hudson a combined $20.6 million in average yearly salary. Paying offensive linemen has been more and more popular among NFL clubs. In 2015, the Bengals offensive line had a collective cap hit of $25.6 million, which ranked third in the NFL. But despite the Bengals offensive line having a cap hit of nearly $25.8 million in 2016, Cincinnati will rank 11th among NFL clubs.\n\nUltimately, the average yearly salary numbers don't matter nearly as much as the years in which Cincinnati's players are taking the biggest cap hits. Katie Blackburn, Duke Tobin, and the rest of Cincinnati's front office staff have done a great job of ensuring the team can pay its top players. Because Zeitler has been a quality player and has proven durable, there is no reason to anticipate the Bengals won't be able to get a deal done with their star offensive guard if the asking price is reasonable.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8538, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9ec1c8d190c30b0e9dcfb49cf042ca4524a6a9d0", "raw_chars": 3209, "clean_chars": 3279, "edit_ratio": 0.1877, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Florian/Flickr: The nation's largest for-profit education firm released its earnings numbers this week, and investors reacted negatively. As a former teacher, I have long criticized the industry, though I have tried to remain fair by acknowledging that such schools might have a role to play.\n\nHowever, I cannot help but wonder whether this week's earnings signal the beginning of the end for the industry as it currently operates. Below, I will explain my reasoning and offer a few investment ideas that are far more solid than those in the for-profit education sector.\n\nA quick look at earnings\n\nBy far the largest player in the industry is Apollo (Nasdaq: APOL), which owns the University of Phoenix. In June 2010, the company reported a total enrollment of nearly half a million students. To put that in perspective, the combined undergraduate enrollment of all 12 schools in the Big Ten Conference is roughly 370,000. For a time, Apollo's schools were larger than the entire Big Ten Conference.\n\nSince then, enrollment has shrunk by 31 percent to 328,000 students. Again, to put it in perspective, the loss of roughly 150,000 students is equivalent to three Ohio State Universities evaporating over the course of two years.\n\nThis week, the school announced it would close 115 locations across the United States, which represents roughly half of its stateside locations. This follows the announcement of earnings shrinking by 60 percent compared to last year, on revenue that was 11 percent lower, enrollment that was down 14 percent, and new-student enrollment—which is an important figure for spotting trends—that was also down 14 percent.\n\nWhat is the deal with the decline?\n\nIn short, the recent boom in for-profit education stocks was fueled by easy government money, promises of opportunity that could not be guaranteed, management that was woefully out of touch with its clients, and misaligned values that made college recruiters seem more like predatory lenders than people genuinely interested in helping individuals access a quality college education.\n\nIn August 2010, the threads of the industry began to unravel when officers from the Government Accountability Office visited the campuses of schools owned by Apollo, Corinthian Colleges (Nasdaq: COCO), The Washington Post (NYSE: WPO), and Education Management Corporation (Nasdaq: EDMC). The officers posed as prospective students, and during their visits, recruiters encouraged the \"students\" to lie on financial aid forms.\n\nSince then, it has been revealed that several recruiters were motivated to lie because their commissions were partly based on how many students they could bring in. That practice has now been outlawed, and schools are no longer able to keep as much of every dollar they bring in, nor are they able to attract nearly as many students.\n\nThere has to be a better way\n\nWhen it comes to business and education, there is a precarious tightrope that needs to be walked. It is not as if a luxury good is being peddled that one could easily live without. The education these schools are pushing comes with the promise of an improved station in society. While that outlook may be fundamentally flawed, it leads many students into crushing debt that cannot be discharged by filing for bankruptcy.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8554, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a9e21d2db2b6cc4798653f159cdb3a3f815a42d1", "raw_chars": 1191, "clean_chars": 1040, "edit_ratio": 0.0695, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Fresh off playing spoiler against the Vancouver Whitecaps in their home opener last weekend, Toronto FC will now endeavour to do the same against their biggest U.S. rivals, the Columbus Crew, at Mapfre Stadium on Saturday evening.

This leniency allowed her to continue her alienation campaign, and she eventually gained full custody of their son, Quinta.\n\nFlanders is a documented parental alienator, liar, and abuser, and her criminal convictions clearly demonstrate her dishonesty and malice. However, Vonderheide is not viewed favorably by the government because he is intent on exposing what he perceives as government crimes against parents and children, including the wrongful actions taken against him. As a result, authorities are now denying him access to school, medical, psychological, and religious records, as well as all contact with his son, while continuing to conspire with Wendy Flanders and her associates to persecute him.\n\nThey are also allegedly conspiring to cover up evidence of crimes committed by Flanders and make it inaccessible to the public. For instance, Judge Wayne G. Hummer ordered that the video of the incident mentioned above be removed from a website exposing Flanders' actions. By protecting and rewarding abusers, judges can increase conflict, which in turn increases their job security and the incomes of their many associates in the divorce industry, including lawyers, therapists, mediators, and custody evaluators. Causing, exacerbating, and refusing to resolve child custody conflicts are the means by which courts and the government extort billions of dollars annually from American families, yet they often blame the victims for the resulting problems.\n\nVonderheide’s Battle Against Corrupt and Abusive Lancaster County, Pennsylvania", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8564, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "7e400cb6c6c76deb6e740578c7f88dfd618db137", "raw_chars": 3435, "clean_chars": 3422, "edit_ratio": 0.3204, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Governments often prefer settling these cases out of court to avoid the adverse publicity that could threaten their ability to continue exploiting children and families for profit.

Although news of the $125,000 settlement is little more than two years old, local media websites are nearly devoid of any information. Where information can be found is on websites run by individuals determined to protect children and families from the ongoing abuse and violence perpetrated by governments.\n\nGiven the disgustingly common complicity of local media in covering up the misconduct of local government officials, one might wonder if that is what is happening here. Fortunately, some websites copied the articles in their entirety.

If their interest in informing the public outweighs their interest in covering up government abuse, then Lancaster Online should restore that article on its own website rather than leaving only the title accessible.\n\nThe original article, titled \"Mom gets back girl – & $125K: County settles suit over Children & Youth,\" was published by the Lancaster New Era on February 25, 2008. By Janet Kelley, Staff Writer: When the Lititz woman took her toddler to the hospital more than two years ago, she had no idea of the legal fight she was about to face.\n\nPatricia M. Shope was sitting at her daughter’s hospital bedside in June 2006 when, she says, a caseworker for the Lancaster County Children & Youth Agency announced he was taking custody of her child, according to court documents. For two months, Shope fought to have her child returned, in spite of, she claims in documents, a caseworker’s false accusations that she was suffering from a mental illness and his threats to put the child up for adoption if she didn’t cooperate.\n\nThe county’s Children & Youth Agency admits doing nothing wrong and denies almost all of Shope’s allegations, according to court documents, but it recently agreed to pay the woman $125,000 to settle the lawsuit. Most important to Shope, her lawyer said, is that she has her child back.\n\nAccording to legal documents and Shope’s attorney, Dennis E. Boyle, the county violated her constitutional rights to due process by taking her daughter without probable cause. The federal lawsuit, filed against the Lancaster County Children & Youth Agency and Gary Sanderson, a caseworker, was filed in November 2006, but the parties settled earlier this month before going to trial.\n\nCrystal Gingrich, executive director of the county agency since March 2007, deferred all questions to the Lancaster County Commissioner’s office. Attorneys representing the county agency in the lawsuit could not be reached for comment. Lancaster County Commissioner Scott Martin said there was never any admission of fault by the county or Children & Youth Agency employees.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8570, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bb6679e3036f14d3290a6cfd6f013293d0f58305", "raw_chars": 1927, "clean_chars": 1050, "edit_ratio": 0.9738, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Islamist suspect linked to the Chelsea bombing in New York City, was taken into custody in Linden, New Jersey, following a shootout with police.

Combat Sambo is essentially mixed martial arts featuring headgear, a jacket that is legal to grasp and manipulate, and a point system that rewards takedowns and landed strikes. Given the fighters' strong backgrounds in freestyle wrestling and Judo, it makes perfect sense that athletes from the North Caucasus excel in Sambo competition and that accomplished Sambo practitioners translate well to full-scale MMA. They tend to be particularly skilled at combining punches with takedowns and striking on the ground, techniques that are hallmarks of both Sambo and MMA. Moreover, the sheer volume of experience high-level Sambists accumulate is remarkable. Ali Bagautinov, a world champion, claims to have participated in more than 400 fights. While Bagautinov is one of the most accomplished Combat Sambo practitioners to cross over into high-level mixed martial arts, nearly all other North Caucasian fighters in the UFC have earned national and international accolades in the sport.\n\nIt is not difficult to see how a region where the ability to fight is culturally significant contributes to these trends. Various factors—the history of violence in the region, a culture that rewards martial prowess, difficult economic conditions, and high levels of skill in relevant combat sports—converge in the athletes themselves. All of these elements are essential to understanding the current and future success of fighters from the North Caucasus. They are interwoven in a complex web of mutually reinforcing strands: violent times help produce cultures that offer material rewards to men skilled in violent acts, and placing violent individuals in positions of power contributes to further violence.\n\nThe destructive effects of constant low-level conflict do not improve the grim economic situation, which creates a surplus of young men with strong financial incentives to emigrate in search of better opportunities. Many of these young men, having participated in an organized competitive system designed to advance the most talented athletes, happen to be exceptionally skilled at fighting.\n\nThe success of fighters from the North Caucasus is not a mystery. It is not written into their DNA, nor is it simply a product of growing up in hard times. Instead, they are the products of a complex set of circumstances that combine to create a crucible, producing a seemingly inexhaustible stream of iron-hard fighters ready to take their rightful place on the world stage.\n\nIs Ali Bagautinov the fighter who will put the North Caucasus on the map? It is unclear. Oddsmakers list him as a massive underdog to Demetrious Johnson, and for good reason. However, when he steps into the cage on Saturday night, it is worth remembering what he and his rising countrymen have had to overcome to reach this point. They have survived outright war, decades of low-level fighting between insurgents and Russian federal military and police forces, terrible economic conditions, and the strong pull of joining radical Islamist rebels in the forests.

Here we have the fourth and final monarch who can attribute his long reign, in part, to being a member of the Holy Roman Empire. He reigned benevolently from 1632 to 1708. Christian August let his subjects choose their own brand of Christianity—a rarity in his day and age—and even allowed Jews to settle on his lands beginning in 1666.\n\nPerhaps because of his tolerant manner of reigning, his capital, Sulzbach, became a center of intellectual and cultural life not only in the Holy Roman Empire but throughout continental Europe.\n\nMudhoji IV of Phaltan ruled for 74 years. Mudhoji IV ruled the Princely State of Phaltan from 1841 to 1916 and is known only for his long reign over Phaltan. Today, Phaltan is part of Maharashtra, the richest state in India. Like Lakhtar, Phaltan was a non-salute state within the British Raj, meaning it wasn’t important enough to merit recognition from the British military and its empire, which, again, isn’t necessarily a bad thing.\n\nBhagvat Singh Sahib of Gondal also reigned for 74 years. Rounding out this week’s top 10 is Bhagvat Singh Sahib of the Princely State of Gondal, another monarchy aligned with the British Raj. He reigned from 1869 to 1944 and is considered to be one of the most progressive monarchs in India, ever. He earned a medical degree at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and built schools, hospitals, a police force, dams, irrigation networks for farming and sewage systems, railroads, telephone cables, brought electricity to his kingdom, and ensured that girls could attend schools through compulsory education initiatives. Gondal was raised to the status of an 11-gun salute state within the British Empire during Bhagvat Singh Sahib’s reign. Gondal is today, along with Lakhtar, part of Gujarat, one of India’s wealthiest states.\n\nFurther thoughts\n\nThis list is actually a bit of a snooze fest. It turns out the longest-tenured monarchs in history are bores. When you take a little time to think about it, though, this makes a lot of sense. Those who live by the sword end up conquering land and creating myths. They also end up dying by the sword, too, and often at a much earlier age than they otherwise would.\n\nThe big issue that stood out to me while making this list was sovereignty. In the age of Brexit, Nexit, Catalonia, and the rise of China, I think it is important to remember the lessons of the past these long-reigning monarchs can teach us. Sovereignty is not an absolute. It is not necessary for good governance, or even long-lasting governance. It can be used in degrees or layers. It can be traded and negotiated upon. Sovereignty can be used to establish relationships with other polities to ensure a healthy element of equality between political units large and small.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8600, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e2293895dd485524ed6979112b84dcac76322eed", "raw_chars": 1619, "clean_chars": 1391, "edit_ratio": 0.6279, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Lancashire police are searching for an Irish teenager after a supermarket fishmonger was assaulted with a large bream.

However, developer Zordix, known for their iOS title Aqua Moto Racing, is looking to fill the gap by bringing their latest racing game to the 3DS eShop: Aqua Moto Racing 3D. I caught up with Zordix's CEO, Matti Larsson, to discuss their upcoming title, the differences in developing for iOS and 3DS, and whether there is any possibility we will see their titles hit the Wii U.\n\nMarcello: First off, thank you for taking the time to provide an interview for the upcoming 3DS eShop title, Aqua Moto Racing 3D. How did this project come about for the 3DS?\n\nMatti: Thank you for both a great site and interest in our new game.\n\nI think this project started the minute we realized that our games, and new games we want to make, are perfectly suited for both the 3DS and the Wii U. When Nintendo opened up the eShop, we decided to focus wholeheartedly on the Nintendo platforms. That way we can make even better games and reach a quality gamer audience.\n\nMarcello: The Aqua Moto Racing series is very well received on iOS devices. I have actually been playing Aqua Moto Racing 2 on my iPhone 4S and have to say I have been really enjoying it, and I normally can't get into iOS games. What differences will there be for the 3DS installment? Are there any advantages you were able to harness with the 3DS over the iOS versions?\n\nMatti: There are some really big advantages with the 3DS version. First, the analogue control stick makes all the difference in feeling. Second, there is a lower screen for a map with race overview. Third, the 3D view is fantastic, and I use it myself all the time in a game like this. Finally, making a new version means improvements on all aspects, including rider looks and the extreme stunts you can perform and control by using the buttons of a real gaming device.\n\nMarcello: Personally, the game caught my attention immediately upon seeing how it was similar to Wave Race 64. Was that an inspiration for you guys?\n\nMatti: Wave Race has been a huge inspiration, and we realized there was a gap to fill in the need for this type of game. I'm not sure it's fair to compare to an iconic Nintendo TV console launch title with a big budget, but we're very happy with the result in how fun the game is to play. It should stand its ground well. A difference worth mentioning is that you get bigger, more varied waves to enjoy in Aqua Moto Racing 3D, which just adds to the fun.\n\nMarcello: Will the game feature local and/or online multiplayer? If so, how many players? Also, will the game utilize the Download Play feature at all?\n\nMatti: It supports up to 6 players, and you can use both the Download Play feature and Street Pass.\n\nMarcello: Now for a non-3DS related question, what do you think of Nintendo's latest console, the Wii U? Would you consider developing any games for it in the near future? If so, are there any ideas you could share?\n\nMatti: I can't deny that it would be a dream to realize the Aqua Moto Racing game in a larger format, possibly with online tournaments, ranking, and all that goes with that. Wii U is a natural next step for us, and if we decide to do it, I'll make sure to share some information early on about development.\n\nMarcello: Aqua Moto Racing 3D is out today in Europe.

Until now, however, doctors have lacked a reliable biomarker for the disorder, partly because its causes and symptoms are so varied.\n\nProfessor Ian Goodyer of the University’s Department of Psychiatry, who led the study, explained that the research provides a concrete way to identify teenage boys most likely to develop clinical depression. He noted that this capability will help target prevention and intervention strategies at these individuals, hopefully reducing their risk of serious depressive episodes and their long-term consequences in adult life.\n\nThe researchers collected saliva samples from hundreds of teenagers and measured their cortisol levels alongside self-reported information on depressive symptoms. They used this data to divide the teenagers into one of four groups based on their cortisol levels and symptoms. After following the group for 12 to 36 months, the researchers were able to determine which group was most likely to develop clinical depression and other psychiatric disorders.\n\nThey found that boys with high levels of cortisol and depressive symptoms were 14 times more likely to develop clinical depression than those with neither. In girls, however, this difference was less marked. Girls with high cortisol and depressive symptoms were four times more likely to develop clinical depression than those with neither, suggesting gender differences in how depression develops.\n\nThe researchers hope that having an easily measurable biomarker—raised cortisol combined with depressive symptoms—will allow primary care services to identify boys at high risk and consider new public mental health strategies for this segment of the population.\n\nDr. Matthew Owens, a co-author of the study, stated that this new biomarker suggests a more personalized approach to tackling depression risk in boys.

Rather than a dramatic, Wagnerian entrance, these workhorses, along with the equally important Chinook heavy lifter, flit across canopies and ridge lines in a constant utility thrum. They keep patrols supplied and access locations far too arduous for a foot slog. Some might not like the central activity of this game being air traffic control, but managing the helicopters is a wonderfully engrossing, ever-changing puzzle. The game owes as much to Transport Tycoon as it does to Panzer General.\n\nKeeping the casualty-to-capture ratio in the black is all well and good, but if the enigmatic Viet Cong manage to persuade enough villages during their campaign against the US military, that number will drop below a threshold and the North Vietnamese Army will turn up. Rocking heavier ordnance, nothing dries up political willpower faster than an increase in body bags being shipped home. This is what makes the Viet Cong encounters so fresh; their infuriating ability to tangle with forces, then disappear into the jungles. Tracking them is often fruitless, and you are forced to spread yourself uncomfortably thin to counter that elusiveness. Caught in the open, nothing speaks louder than a targeted USMC Phantom bombing run, but if given a tree line to dash into or a clearing to lace with mines, the enemy does surface. Contacts are recorded on a strategic operational map, which helps track the thicker areas of Viet Cong movements and gives the player a good idea of where the next Forward Operating Post should go.\n\nThere is a decent challenge in Vietnam '65. The AI poses wily opposition, bolstered by a muggy fog of war. My first few games were disasters, and I was obviously in need of a few more military advisors. However, once I had a better idea of the ins and outs of chopper resupply and projecting a more limber force, the Viet Cong began to get smacked back up the track. Drawing them out and engaging them in politically beneficial locales made me ponder the public relations of combat in more than just a clash of proficiency tables. Again, at a mechanical level, there is not much different here to many other wargames. The nuts and bolts are the same. However, it is the wrangling of the outcome, what operations and engagements often mean, that evokes a different ambiance to your usual hex and chit affair.\n\nThe last time I played something that made me consider the ramifications of my engagement strategies was the wafer-thin but noble RTS Conflict Zone, touting mission difficulty hinging on a player's standing with the media. In Vietnam '65, it examines the temerity of a conventional force fighting against an unconventional foe, and the friction of measuring success therein. Using political resolve as fuel for the fight might merely be a semantic change from spending prowess points, but it is an important distinction.

You also get a \"super charge\" attack that grants temporary invincibility, though limited charges prevent you from spamming the ability.\n\nThere is little else to say about the title other than its presentation is solid, the gameplay addictive, and the challenge fun. If one did not know the rather unique history behind Nightmare Busters, it might simply be seen as one of the few non-licensed Super Nintendo Entertainment System games still in circulation.

For classic game enthusiasts, it is definitely worth a spot on your shelf, although acquiring a copy will be difficult. Although the Super Fighter Team has printed a second, and likely final, wave of the game, with pre-orders now unavailable, it will still be hard to find.\n\nStill, Nightmare Busters represents something more in gaming than just a collector's piece; it demonstrates how lost titles can be made new again.

There is a significant number of one-star reviews that offer little more than personal grievances, such as \"I will never read a book by this author because...\" Punitive one-star reviews, where reviewers down-vote an author's entire catalog because they dislike something the author said on Twitter or oppose the inclusion of gay characters, are not the focus here. These blanket condemnations are best ignored.\n\nOnline reviews on platforms like Yelp tend to fall into the \"love it or hate it\" category. People rarely bother to review a restaurant unless they had a fantastically noteworthy meal or a truly horrible one that demands venting. However, the dynamics are different for books. Amazon prompts users to review every purchase, regardless of their opinion, which helps balance the feedback. Goodreads, on the other hand, becomes a hub where people review everything on their shelves for various reasons: they love books, enjoy discussing them, and want to network with fellow readers. Many users also seek the points or credibility associated with having a large library on their Goodreads shelf, or they appreciate the sense of accomplishment that comes from tracking and sharing their reading progress. Book lovers have always enjoyed talking about books; it is part of what makes them book lovers in the first place.\n\nRecently, several high-profile authors took to Twitter to share screenshots and quotes from their one-star Amazon reviews, with some even creating videos of themselves reading the reviews aloud. The results were predictably hilarious. For instance, one reviewer gave a book one star because their dog chewed it up, leading them to \"DNF\" (Did Not Finish) it. Another review simply made the customer seem like a total nutjob. Books are not the only things receiving this treatment; a piece in Mother Jones highlighted one-star Yelp reviews for places like the Grand Canyon. One reviewer complained that the desert was \"too hot,\" while another was angry that at Badlands, \"the mud wasn't even differently colored layers... It was brown.\" I confess to having written similar TripAdvisor reviews, such as one for the glaciers we saw in Alaska: \"A+++ glacier, very icy. Would visit again.\"\n\nHowever, this fascination with one-star reviews led me to read more of them, not the hilarious or punitive ones, but those where readers seemed genuinely angry or upset about a book.

Additionally, these children often experience less stability as they are shuffled from school to school and family to family.\n\nAnother concern is that even when someone is removed from a registry, the information can remain on nongovernmental websites for years. Furthermore, those not placed on public registries may still be required to notify nearby schools or have postcards sent to addresses within a certain radius of their home.\n\nPittman points out that people often do not see why children not listed on public websites are affected, but measures like mailers are significant. \"When you think about a child's life, that 3-mile radius is their life,\" she said, encompassing many of their friends, neighbors, and classmates.\n\nPittman also notes that when an offender's address is accessible, it is not uncommon for people to vandalize property or otherwise target the house. However, because many offenses occur within the home, often between siblings or cousins, vigilantes end up terrorizing not just the offender but often the victim as well.\n\nRegistered children are also more likely to be targeted by police. Letourneau found that registered children were more likely to be charged with new nonsexual offenses than juvenile offenders who were not required to register. Despite the increase in arrests, registered children were no more likely to be convicted of these new crimes than their nonregistered counterparts.\n\nAdvocates worry that these effects hinder rehabilitation, something juvenile prosecutors may be aware of. Letourneau's review of data from South Carolina revealed that prosecutors would plead children out on nonsexual charges, such as downgrading from sexual assault to physical assault, after penalties increased. She noted that the number of plea deals skyrocketed after two federal laws were passed: one in 1994 requiring registration for sex crimes against children, and another in 1996 requiring them to be added to a sex offender website.\n\nAlthough many advocates argue that states should eliminate juvenile registries, they point to Oklahoma as having a better system than most.\n\nOklahoma's juvenile registry is accessible only by law enforcement. Children are considered for registration only if a prosecutor determines they might commit another offense and files an application to have them added upon release from custody. Once released from treatment, the juvenile meets with two mental health professionals who report back to the court to help the judge decide whether to add the child to the registry. In the first 10 years of the registry, only 10 juveniles were added.\n\nSlow Changes", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8665, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "8c7e5da0a6c58caf1008831cdec8f70c661bbe7f", "raw_chars": 2756, "clean_chars": 2876, "edit_ratio": 0.0724, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "But do you see how this is working? How the different unit types have a drastically different relationship with the common entities on the map? How infantry provide utility and vehicles provide firepower (or mobility)? How the game keeps evolving: new approaches to holding the map, to controlling the map, to moving around the map open up, and the player’s relationship with the game profoundly changes as they fill in their stable of units with entities of profoundly different types.\n\nPlayers Are Required to Contest the Entire Map from Early Game\n\nIn most traditional real-time strategy (RTS) games, players are asked to build one or more bases, or in some cases, can place structures anywhere and organize defenses for them, such as walls and turrets. These bases house the player’s production structures, economic apparatus, and research or technology options. Often, too, resources are either located naturally near structures, or players are encouraged to build defensive emplacements around or adjacent to harvesting operations to defend them from enemy harassment. The better RTS games, in the humble opinion of this writer, tend to separate resourcing operations from base locations, which increases tension and forces the player to defend multiple disparate areas.\n\nOf course, Relic’s games also do this.\n\nResource Points on the Map (away from Production/Tech)\n\nWhile many of Relic’s titles feature elements of basebuilding, even their original Dawn of War and Company of Heroes scale it back from the standard. By 'standard,' I am referring to StarCraft, Command and Conquer, Age of Empires, and Total Annihilation, which are four of the most played RTS series of all time, so I feel the appellation fits. Furthermore, Relic’s titles not only keep resourcing operations away from base building—which Command and Conquer, Age of Empires, and Total Annihilation also do—but they allow a greater percentage of a player’s army to participate. Instead of relying solely on miner or builder units, pretty much any infantry squad can capture a resource point. This makes resourcing highly tactical, with Total Annihilation having elements of this too. Especially in the Company of Heroes titles, resource locations actually have real relationships with one another, adding more layers of depth to a system already designed to keep players engaging all over the map from the first minute.\n\nI already mentioned this above, but remember: in Relic’s titles, most units are in a way their own tech structure. Upgrades tend to be applied directly to individual squads instead of at the player or game level, though some of their titles have both types of upgrade. This makes units valuable as stores of tech value as much as of gameplay utility, just another implication of Relic’s squad system.

This decision involves a deal that allows the Brazilian government to purchase Microsoft product licenses as needed over the next 12 months at a previously negotiated price. The agreement extends beyond just Microsoft Office, also including Windows 10 and Windows Server.\n\nThis massive deal represents a departure from Brazil's open-source policy, which was established in 2003. The original goal of the open-source switch was to reduce licensing costs and support local IT companies in developing products for the government. However, the policy ultimately failed due to a perceived \"lack of skills and interest,\" which left the government struggling to obtain quality software.\n\nBrazil is not alone in this reversal.

You can think of it as a cross between a skateboard and a sewing machine pedal, or perhaps a very advanced Wii Balance Board.\n\nWhile the exact setup process for the 3DRudder is not entirely clear, it reportedly requires only a USB port and a driver. At CES Unveiled, we experienced how it controls a 3D design program rather than a game. Once you sit down and rest your feet on the board, it calibrates within a few seconds. Sliding the board forward and backward zooms the view in and out, turning rotates the view horizontally, and twisting your feet—similar to pedaling a bicycle—rotates the view up and down. Although we did not test it, you can also move from side to side and map custom controls onto the axes.\n\nWhen everything goes right, the board is remarkably responsive, precise, and intuitive. It feels somewhat like driving a car, offering fine-grained control over how fast and how far you move. However, if you have only used it for a few minutes, as we did, it may not all go smoothly. I was unsure how much pressure to apply, accidentally pushing down too hard to control it effectively. When I rested my feet, I noticed they were tilted slightly too much, causing the scene to rotate unintentionally.

Gen. Joseph Keith Kellogg Jr. to serve as acting adviser in his place, marking the first major shakeup in the still-young administration. Michael Flynn, the ousted adviser, admitted that he misled Vice President Mike Pence regarding the contents of phone calls Flynn had placed to the Russian ambassador, during which they apparently discussed sanctions.\n\nAt the time of the calls, Flynn was working for the Trump transition team but was technically a private citizen, and such communications to hash out government policy are illegal. In a resignation letter released by the White House, Flynn stated, \"Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the vice president-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the president and the vice president, and they have accepted my apology.\"\n\nTop officials, apparently relying on Flynn's account of the conversation, issued a public denial of reports that he had discussed the sanctions imposed on the Kremlin by the outgoing Obama administration over Moscow's efforts to influence the U.S. election in Trump's favor. However, Flynn later told White House officials that the issue of sanctions may have come up. This revelation left Flynn's position, as a retired lieutenant general, untenable.\n\nDemocrats said Flynn had to go, but noted that this does not end the questions swirling around the Trump team regarding its promises to the regime in Moscow. Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, stated, \"These alleged contacts and any others the Trump campaign may have had with the Kremlin are the subject of the House Intelligence Committee's ongoing investigation.\" He added, \"Moreover, the Trump administration has yet to be forthcoming about who was aware of Flynn's conversations with the ambassador and whether he was acting on the instructions of the President or any other officials, or with their knowledge.\"\n\nThe Justice Department had warned the White House weeks ago about the conversations and the discrepancy between the public statements and the reality of Flynn's behavior, according to the Associated Press. As the reports piled up, Democrats on Capitol Hill demanded that Flynn be suspended from his security clearance and fired for his actions.\n\nFlynn, who was fired from his job as chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency by President Obama in 2014, had been a supporter of Trump during the campaign. He even spoke at the Republican National Convention last summer. After Trump's victory in November, Flynn was one of the first personnel announcements Trump made, tapping his booster to be national security adviser. But over the last few days, the White House had given conflicting signals about his job.

It is character-based comedy, similar to those middle series that were aired on BBC2.\n\nWhy did you go back to a live studio audience? Did you feel that the Back to Earth mini-series in 2009 worked less well without the laughter?\n\nThe situation with Back to Earth was that we had to play with the hand we were dealt. That is not to denigrate Back to Earth, because there were a lot of great things about it. But it was not necessarily what we would have chosen if we had been given any choice.\n\nOriginally, the idea was that Dave wanted to celebrate Red Dwarf's 20th anniversary and the actors were going to be in costume introducing some clips. But it evolved, and I don't think the people who put the budget together realized how expensive it is to start Red Dwarf up from scratch because, of course, we didn't have any sets at that point at all.\n\nAnd so, we were forced to go down a particular path, which meant we couldn't afford the studio audience. In fact, we couldn't really afford any sets either. In the end, we had two-and-a-half sets. I mean, people look at Back to Earth and think it looks like the most expensive and sumptuous episode ever. It looks like there was a ton of money thrown at it, but that's just the brilliance of the direction and the visual effects, I'm afraid.\n\nAnd it's not necessarily what's good for the comedy, because the boys hated doing all that green-screen work. So the day after it was broadcast—and, of course, it was very successful—I said that if we were going to do it again, I'd want a proper set and audience back, please.\n\nPlus, I didn't want to write 23-minute episodes because Red Dwarf episodes are quite complicated. With 23 minutes, you end up having to spread the story over several episodes. I don't think it's as satisfying as getting a whole story in one episode. Basically, this time around, all the things I wanted we've got.\n\nThere's still an appetite for Red Dwarf—didn't those 2009 episodes get three million viewers?\n\nYes, and it was repeated over the Easter weekend. If you aggregate all three shows and add the Making Of documentary, the actual figure you end up with is 11 million. It beat BBC2, which is absolutely unheard of for a non-terrestrial channel, which was just amazing.\n\nAlso, lots of Red Dwarf fans didn't know it was on. Even now, a couple of years later, fans say to me: \"What? I've never heard of it.\" So, that's very bizarre.\n\nHave there been any approaches by the BBC since then to resurrect it?\n\nI think you can probably guess! Of course, BBC2 is where the whole thing started and obviously we want to get the biggest possible audience we can. But no, the BBC hasn't approached us.\n\nThe last one we did with them was series eight, which got eight million and was the most successful series we've ever done. And then we wanted to do a film, which took so long not to get anywhere!

Paulo, the proposal, already nicknamed the \"Lula Amendment,\" would amend Article 236 of the Electoral Code, which currently prohibits arrests only 15 days before a poll.\n\nIn an interview with the newspaper, Cândido stated that the new rule benefits the former president of the Workers' Party, who was sentenced this week by Judge Sérgio Moro to nine and a half months in prison. He explained that the measure was designed to \"shield\" not only Lula but also other politicians under investigation. \"Lula as well, like anyone else. It is our weapon against this period of judicialization of politics,\" he said.\n\nTo change the timeframe that prevents arrests, the deputy introduced the concept of prior candidate registration. Politicians would have from February 1 to February 28 of the election year to request a certificate from the courts, which would have until April 30 to grant it. Once the certificate is obtained, the candidate receives a sort of safe-conduct pass that would prevent their arrest from that moment until 48 hours after the election. The exception remains arrest in the act of committing a crime. The political reform bill is scheduled to be voted on by the Chamber's committee on August 3, and to take effect in 2018, it must be approved by Congress by September.\n\nThe proposal has sparked reactions from other politicians. Senator Ana Amélia of the Progressive Party wrote on her Twitter page: \"When society demands a moralizing political reform, it is unacceptable and provocative to maneuver to free Lula and other politicians from ineligibility in the 2018 elections.\"\n\nSpeaking to the newspaper O Globo, Deputy Espiridião Amin stated: \"This proposal makes no sense.

William Edgemon and Raymond Moss, two businessmen from Cincinnati, purchased the cloisters and shipped the crates down the east coast to Port Everglades at a cost of $60,000. After retrieving the crates from the Florida docks, Edgemon and Moss transported the stones to North Miami Beach. They hired an expert stonemason who spent the next 19 months re-erecting the monastery at a cost of nearly $1.5 million. Later assessments would suggest that the stonemason got the gigantic puzzle \"about 90% right.\"\n\nThe choice of Miami as the location had its own peculiar logic, somewhat tied to the new popularity of central air conditioning. Reasoning that people might eventually get bored of the beach, or at the very least that it might occasionally rain, enterprising businessmen opened new tourist attractions, including amusement parks, aquariums, and a wax museum around the city. The Ohio entrepreneurs banked on the monastery being beautiful and novel enough to draw in some of Miami's sunburned masses, and thus invested heavily in its reconstruction. Similar reasoning would bring another medieval monastery to the Bahamas as well.\n\nThe monastery never took off in the way the entrepreneurs hoped. Tourism in Miami began a downward slide in the early 1960s, due in part to unseasonably cool temperatures and growing concern about drugs, and the monastery's trickle of guests proved insufficient to recoup its enormous startup costs. In 1964, the cloister was saved from demolition when a philanthropist donated $400,000 and gave the property to the local Episcopal diocese. The Episcopalians continued to operate the site as a local attraction but eliminated the admission fee and outfitted the locale to be a more suitable place for church services. They brought in carpets, found a new altar among Hearst's still-for-sale possessions, and set up a church daycare. The site's new chaplain told the New York Times in 1964, \"We feel we are redeeming this beautiful edifice. It has fallen very far from grace.

In the case of St. Bernard de Clairvaux, Hearst owned the Bronx warehouse, meaning that having the stones sit around wasn't costing him much.

Here is a concise account of the state of the politics of the fighting in Aleppo: In Aleppo, the forces fighting the government range from groups with American backing to factions that until recently were officially affiliated with Al Qaeda. The Islamic State is not a player in the city.\n\nThat is from a story on the Times' website today, written by Anne Barnard, who has been steadily covering the horrors of Aleppo for the newspaper. It is about a chlorine gas attack against civilians in the city yesterday, probably perpetrated by the government. The chemical weapons sickened some 120 people and killed two, including a 13-year-old girl.\n\nIf you follow Barnard's Twitter account, you wake up every morning to a fresh roundup of war crimes and other atrocities being perpetrated across Syria, in unending violence that has made a mockery of every pretense of international order or human rights doctrine.

The Times writes about a dire and ongoing failure of foreign policy, and the people who are covering presidential politics for the Times don't read it.

This feature is useful for short-term bans intended to let someone cool off, such as for ten minutes or a few hours.\n\nNext, I retooled numerous duplicate administrative commands to accept a player specifier instead.

If a player has characters that cannot normally be displayed by our font, the command will output the UTF escape code for that character instead. For example, if a player is named \"😀☃\", you will not be able to read their nickname normally, but the list command will output it as $3 : \\ud83d\\ude00\\u2603 : $(uuid goes here). You can use these Unicode escape sequences to address such players in any administrative command.\n\nI am using the \\u escape sequence rather than \\U, which means much of my morning was spent writing an encoder and decoder for UTF surrogate pairs and redoing parts of the parser to handle them better. This will save a significant number of keystrokes, as such large Unicode code points are rare.\n\nI also integrated a Lua script hook into the command processor, allowing you to define your own administrative commands. The Lua API is still quite limited, but it will expand as we determine what features are needed.\n\nFinally, I adjusted the format of the Lua callbacks so that Doxygen can parse them (at least partially; there is still much work to be done) and updated our Doxygen settings to produce documentation suitable for public consumption by removing verbatim headers and full source code.

While some of its peers struggled with losses during 2009, JPMorgan Chase managed to remain profitable. The New York City-based banking giant announced the better-than-expected quarterly results on Friday, marking a significant milestone in its return to stability.\n\nThe company also revealed that compensation expenses had climbed 18% over the year, reaching $26.9 billion, with a substantial portion expected to be distributed as bonuses. Kicking off the fourth-quarter earnings season for the nation's top banks, JPMorgan Chase reported earnings of 74 cents per share for the final three months of 2009. This performance significantly exceeded Wall Street's expectations; analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had anticipated a profit of $2.46 billion, or 61 cents per share.\n\nDespite the positive earnings news, shares of JPMorgan Chase fell more than 1% in midday trading because revenue numbers fell short of expectations. CEO Jamie Dimon acknowledged the mixed results, stating, \"Though these results showed improvement, we acknowledge that they fell short of both an adequate return on capital and the firm's earnings potential.\"\n\nNevertheless, 2009 proved to be a stellar year for the bank overall, as full-year profits more than doubled to $11.73 billion, surpassing consensus estimates. A major driver of the quarterly results was the investment banking business, which earned $1.9 billion, largely bolstered by robust debt and stock underwriting fees. William Tanona, an analyst at Collins Stewart, noted in a client report that earnings in the investment bank were better than expected.\n\nHowever, company executives were reluctant to declare that the worst of the crisis was behind them. Mike Cavanagh, JPMorgan Chase's chief financial officer, pointed out that there were still areas of weakness within the company's mortgage portfolio. He also reiterated previous forecasts that the credit card division would likely lose $1 billion per quarter during the first half of 2010. \"We need to wait and see how the economy evolves,\" Cavanagh said.\n\nJPMorgan Chase was taking no chances, particularly given that millions of Americans remained unemployed. During the quarter, the bank added an additional $1.9 billion to its consumer loan loss reserve. Dimon explained that the lack of clarity regarding the economy's direction was also a key factor in the decision not to boost the dividend back to pre-crisis levels. JPMorgan Chase had slashed its dividend by 87% the previous year and currently pays just 5 cents per quarter.\n\nJPMorgan Chase was the first of several major banks and Wall Street firms to report its fourth-quarter results. Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley were all scheduled to release their fourth-quarter and full-year numbers the following week. JPMorgan Chase is widely considered to be among the strongest banks in this group, and its healthy profits could invite further criticism of the financial services industry.

Ackles mentioned that Dean spends a lot of the episode tied up, a fact the fans were excited to hear.\n\nThe clip mostly consisted of Dean stalking Sam through the Men of Letters HQ with a big fire axe, and very nearly taking Sam's head off. Dean has a great snarky energy as he urges Sammy to come and get it. At one point he calls his brother \"Sammy bear.\" Later, the two Winchesters are face to face, and Dean is telling Sam that he's the real monster. Dean may be a demon now, but Sam has done some terrible things, including recently searching for Dean, that are more monstrous.\n\nDuring the panel, Ackles mentioned that Demon Dean isn't like other demons we've met on the show. This isn't a demon possessing a \"meat suit\"; it's Dean's soul twisted in a demonic direction. Dean is still himself, just evil and sadistic. And Demon Dean doesn't care as much about the Impala as regular Dean does.\n\nDemon Dean is like the guy at the party who doesn't want the party to end, even after his friends have all left and the music has died down, Ackles told us in the media pressroom. He doesn't even care; he just wants to be an asshole. Demon Dean is constantly getting into fights. \"Lot of booze, lot of babes, lot of fights.\" Demon Dean isn't comedic, but he's definitely lighter, especially after last year, where Dean was so guilt-ridden.\n\nA big deal last season was when Sam claimed that he would never go to as extreme lengths to save Dean as Dean had gone to to save Sam. But now, we're going to see Sam going to crazy lengths to find and save demon Dean. We asked Padalecki about this contradiction, and he said Sam was lying to Dean \"because he was hurt,\" and \"you always hurt the ones you're closest to.\"\n\nAdded Padalecki, \"Sam wasn't saying, 'I don't care about you'... that was Sam's way of saying, 'You hurt me and you lied to me and you let me get possessed by an angel.' We do see how far Sam is willing to go, and Sam goes outrageously far, and we see the darker side of Sam, and we test the edges of morality.\"\n\nBut the time when Dean was in purgatory and Sam didn't look for him because he got a girlfriend and dog \"was strange,\" added Padalecki.\n\nPadalecki said it's been a lot of hard work coming up with new versions of Sam, the soulless version, the angel version, and it's nice that Dean is dealing with that this time around, and Padalecki has had a much more relaxing summer. Padalecki enjoyed playing soulless Sam because he was a character of pure logic, and Padalecki drew on his past as a \"mathlete\" in school, with a version of Sam who's always calculating.\n\nMark Sheppard, who plays Crowley, hinted on the panel that nobody will ever believe that Crowley didn't know what would happen to Dean with the Mark of Cain, but at the same time, Crowley may or may not be able to control his new demon friend.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8774, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "7cc9b9e74565ce192d965bb548322720a87be79f", "raw_chars": 2995, "clean_chars": 2701, "edit_ratio": 0.2072, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "During the Second World War, the Allies deployed the so-called Ghost Army to France in the wake of the D-Day invasion. Officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, this Allied unit moved through France sowing misinformation and generally confusing the enemy.

Alongside these visual props were recordings of troops and vehicles rumbling, and the Ghost Army filled the airwaves with false radio chatter, while also imitating other Allied units' insignia and ranks to further deceive the Germans.\n\nEven earlier in the war, particularly in North Africa, British forces employed deception as a tactic against the famous General Rommel, building fake railway stations and supply columns. These efforts led directly to Operations Bodyguard, Titanic, and Glimmer, which in turn convinced the German military that the Normandy landings were a deception, diverting a significant portion of German manpower away from the landing sites at Normandy for a staggering seven weeks.\n\nDuring the Vietnam War, fought from the early 1960s until the fall of Saigon in 1973, the Viet Cong were also known to make use of artificial villages to protect their tunnel complexes, as well as false tunnels to distract American and Australian soldiers and consume valuable operations time. These tunnel complexes could be incredibly complex, with some of the larger ones featuring bunkers and weapons depots, political re-education schools, command centers, hospitals, and even theaters for the production of politically educational plays. The most elaborate of these tunnel systems ran for miles and often needed to be flushed out by the so-called \"tunnel rats,\" men who were often the physically smallest soldiers in their units, crawling through the underground passages armed with only pistols and flashlights.\n\nAlthough World War I saw the first mass production of artificial cities to confuse the enemy, there are also the alleged historical example of Grigory Potemkin, who built artificial villages in the 18th century to fool his Empress. After the Russian conquest of Crimea in the 1780s, Tsarina Catherine the Great appointed Potemkin as the region's governor, tasked with rebuilding the shattered countryside. Although the story may be apocryphal, it is said that Potemkin's men assembled villages along the river where Catherine's barge drifted and acted out the roles of peasants until the Tsarina passed along.

However, there is no doubt that a major final decision has been made to begin with the detonation of the PAT Supernova, independently of what will happen on the ground—specifically, the crimes the dark cabal intends to perpetrate against humanity. It is a predetermined outcome that they will fail and drop out of this reality, so that this final outburst of dark energies will only fuel our ascension, which has been overdue for a long time.\n\nThe report from Coleen in South Africa as of today serves as another powerful confirmation that the ascension process has begun.\n\nCarla had another important ascension journey to the fifth dimension yesterday, but she still needs to discuss its ramifications with the Elohim before we know exactly what she accomplished during this visit. At the same time, I was also retrieved from this reality and dwelled in the higher realms for almost two hours, where some important decisions were made, as reported last night. As soon as I have more information on these recent energetic events, I will publish it immediately.\n\nIt is also important to note that yesterday there was another huge shift to higher dimensions. Now, while I am writing this preface, a second powerful surge of source energies is coming. There is no doubt that the drama of the ascension process is now peaking parallel to the beginning of the anticipated atrocities by the dark Western cabal in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world. This is all part and parcel of the last act of this cosmic human drama before the curtain falls for this reality and the New Earth is unveiled.\n\nColeen’s Energy Report – August 29th, 2013\nFrom South Africa\n\nDear Georgi,\n\nThe last email I sent was really quick because my Internet was almost finished, so I wanted to let you know. But here I am going to try and explain how I felt, hopefully the email will get to you.\n\nLast night I could feel the energy soaring. I kept refreshing your site because I knew I would hear from you. It startled me when my High Self told me “No,” not the Internet. I tried to listen to what she was going to say. To my surprise, it was you. You told me that you were in the fifth dimension and that you needed my help in sending as much light as I could to the fifth dimension and the PAT.\n\nI immediately went to lie down at 9:00 p.m. and started sending out my light with the help of my High Self, as you told me. I felt all the angels and light beings around me, feeling their love and peace. If I should ascend, they are there with me. I took your hand and Carla’s and could see all the PAT standing in huge circles, holding hands with each other, shining their light so bright.\n\nI could feel in my body that I could dissolve at any moment. After an hour, although it felt much less, I opened my eyes, feeling disoriented as if I was in the wrong place. But I was in my room, and all felt different, even though everything I was seeing was the same.

Although there were numerous narrow AI applications running in the background of our daily lives, there was little enthusiasm for the field. However, quietly in the background, a revolution was building thanks to progress across several key areas. These areas would soon converge to produce breakthrough after breakthrough, putting us on the verge of what many believe to be the most important event in human history.\n\nThe first key advance was the availability of more data. Andrew Ng of Baidu has explained that a massive amount of data is needed for these algorithms to function effectively. If you feed them ten times the data, they work; if you feed them one-tenth, they do not. Previously, it was very difficult to obtain the massive amounts of data required to train AI systems, but thanks to the internet, researchers now have tonnes of data to train their neural networks.\n\nThe second advance was more computing power. If you only have the computational power to build a small neural network, it does not work well. However, computer power has continued to increase while prices have dropped. Although Moore's Law may be stalling, the Law of Accelerating Returns is not. Steve Jurvetson calls this the \"most important graph ever.\" Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are much better for training neural networks than Central Processing Units (CPUs) and have provided the necessary computer power for these algorithms to function. Infrastructure has also improved; today, it is possible for anyone to rent a massive amount of GPU power on cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud.\n\nThe third advance was better algorithms. Neural networks have been known about for decades, but most researchers had given up on them. Geoffrey Hinton of Google is one of the few who stuck with it. Despite his peers calling it a dead end, he believed it was the right approach, and it turned out he was right. Hinton learned how to stack neural networks dozens of layers deep, a technique known as deep learning, which enabled vastly more calculations. He is now considered \"the godfather of neural networks.\"\n\nWith these three breakthroughs in place, neural networks finally began to work, and they worked better than almost anyone expected. The tipping point came with ImageNet 2012. The ImageNet project was created in 2009 to judge how well computers could see. In 2011, computers had a 26% error rate when trying to label images, while humans only had a 5% error rate. But in 2012, Hinton's team made a breakthrough and reduced the error rate to 16% using deep learning. This made everyone sit up and take notice. Massive research began in deep learning, and just a few years later, in 2015, computers actually beat humans with an error rate of just 4%. Today, just five years after Hinton's breakthrough, the error rate for AI is 3%.\n\nJeff Dean of Google Brain noted that the portion of evolution in which animals developed eyes was a big development, and now computers have eyes. Governments, the academic world, big corporations, and startups became obsessed with neural networks and AI in general. Tech companies began spending billions to make progress as fast as possible, and a massive recruiting war began for anybody with relevant skills. As everybody raced to develop these deep neural networks, breakthrough after breakthrough occurred, and it was clear that something very special was happening.\n\nSelf-driving cars became a reality. Computers became as good as or better than humans at many types of medical diagnosis.

Because this obstacle was placed so late in the course, and grip strength was exhausted, it was quite challenging.

Mustafa Akıncı, the president of the self-styled \"Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus\" (TRNC), which is recognized only by Turkey, also participated in the celebrations.\n\nIn August 1964, Turkish warplanes dropped napalm bombs on Kokkina in the Tillyria peninsula, hitting residential areas and a hospital, and killing more than 50 people, including 19 civilians. Ten years later, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus and has occupied almost 40 percent of the island ever since.\n\nThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece issued a note of condemnation regarding the celebrations:\n\n\"We are dismayed to note the celebrations of the Turkish Cypriot leadership, including Mr. Akinci himself, of the 53rd anniversary of the use of chemical weapons and dropping of napalm bombs by the Turkish air force on the Tillyria peninsula. This was the first use of banned chemical weapons in the history of our planet.\n\n\"Today, when the whole planet bows to the victims of wars and such hostile acts, the holding of and participation in such celebrations is an affront to international law, to the memory of the fallen, and to the whole of humanity.\"\n\nThe Republic of Cyprus declared independence in 1960. Afterwards, Turkey escalated its preparations to invade the island, which included but were not limited to establishing a bridgehead at Kokkina in 1964 and smuggling arms and fighters from Turkey into the area in order to strengthen Turkish positions there.\n\nAccording to the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in London,\n\n\"When in August 1964 the [Cypriot] Government attempted to contain the Kokkina bridgehead, Turkey's air force bombed the National Guard and neighboring Greek villages with napalm and threatened to invade. The other major purpose served by the enclaves was the political and physical separation of the two communities.\"\n\nAnother preparation for the occupation by Turkey was its disguised violent attacks against Turkish Cypriots to further escalate inter-communal conflicts and alienate Turkish-speaking Cypriots from Greek Cypriots.\n\nGeneral Sabri Yirmibeşoğlu, a Turkish army officer, for example, said in televised comments in 2010 that Turkey burned a mosque during the Cyprus conflict \"in order to foster civil resistance\" against Greeks on the island and that \"The Turkish special warfare department has a rule to engage in acts of sabotage against respected values [of Turks] made to look as if they were carried out by the enemy.\"\n\nThe deadly military assault against Kokkina in 1964 is celebrated by many Turkish Cypriots and settlers from Turkey as the \"8 August Erenköy Resistance Day.\" Turks now call Kokkina \"Erenköy,\" Turkish for \"the village of the [Islamic] saints.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8802, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b027ac7307f1e4d9f24d069b43980b13d6897f25", "raw_chars": 1033, "clean_chars": 1026, "edit_ratio": 0.694, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Also, my friend and fellow artist Chip Zdarsky asked his Twitter followers what to draw the other day.

For him this is an absolute dogma, and he will tell you that while he intends to do what he can to assist the inevitable, knowing that we will do what we can to oppose the inevitable, what he does and what we do will not be decisive. Destiny will be realized no matter what men do.\n\nThe dogma of inevitability not only gives him the self-assurance of a man who has no doubts but is a most powerful ingredient of the Communist propaganda. What do we say to him, we who believe in a certain freedom of the human will and in the capacity of men to affect the course of history by their discoveries, their wisdom and their courage?\n\nWe can say that in Mr. K.'s dogma there is an unexamined premise. It is that the capitalist society is static, that it is and always will be what it was when Marx described it a hundred years ago, that — to use Mr. K.'s own Hugo — there is no difference between Governor Rockefeller and his grandfather. Because a capitalist society cannot change, in its dealings with the underdeveloped countries it can only dominate and exploit. It cannot emancipate and help.\n\nIf it could emancipate and help, the inevitability of Communism would evaporate. I venture to argue from this analysis that the reason we are on the defensive in so many places is that for some ten years we have been doing exactly what Mr. K. expects us to do. We have used money and arms in a long losing attempt to stabilize native governments which, in the name of anti-Communism, are opposed to all important social change.\n\nThis has been exactly what Mr. K.'s dogma calls for — that Communism should be the only alternative to the status quo with its immemorial poverty and privilege. We cannot compete with Communism in Asia, Africa, or Latin America if we go on doing what we have done so often and so widely — which is to place the weak countries in a dilemma where they must stand still with us and our client rulers or start moving with the Communists.\n\nThis dilemma cannot be dissolved unless it is our central and persistent and unswerving policy to offer these unhappy countries a third option, which is economic development and social improvement without the totalitarian discipline of Communism.

He argued that in Syria, this would plunge the country into chaos and internal conflict similar to what occurred in Iraq. In Lebanon, he predicted the emergence of separate Sunni, Alawi, Christian, and Druze states, though he expressed uncertainty about whether a Shiite state would form. Nasrallah suggested that one objective of the Israeli bombing campaign in Lebanon the previous summer was the destruction of Shiite areas and the displacement of Shiites from the country. He theorized that the plan was to force Shiites from Lebanon and Syria to flee to southern Iraq, which is predominantly Shiite. \"I am not sure, but I smell this,\" he said. According to Nasrallah, partition would leave Israel surrounded by \"small tranquil states.\" He further asserted that the Saudi kingdom would also be divided, with the issue extending to North African states, resulting in small ethnic and confessional entities. \"In other words, Israel will be the most important and the strongest state in a region that has been partitioned into ethnic and confessional states that are in agreement with each other. This is the new Middle East.\"\n\nDespite the general lack of awareness regarding connections between plans to destabilize Syria and the Bush administration, even less is known about the existence of such plans dating back to 1983. Documents held in the U.S. National Archives and drafted by the CIA reveal a long-standing strategy to dismantle the Syrian government. One particularly illuminating document, titled \"Bringing Real Muscle To Bear In Syria\" and authored by CIA officer Graham Fuller, outlines this approach. Fuller wrote that Syria currently held a \"hammerlock\" on U.S. interests in both Lebanon and the Gulf by closing Iraq's pipeline, thereby threatening the internationalization of the Iran-Iraq war. He suggested that the U.S. should consider sharply escalating pressure against Hafez al-Assad by covertly orchestrating simultaneous military threats against Syria from three hostile border states: Iraq, Israel, and Turkey.\n\nEven as far back as 1983, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's father, Hafez al-Assad, was viewed as an obstacle to the plans of Western powers seeking to weaken both Iraq and Iran and extend hegemony over the Middle East and Persia. The document indicates that Assad and Syria represented a resistance to Western imperialism and a threat to Israel, and that Assad himself was well aware of the game the United States, Israel, and other members of the Western coalition were playing against him.

Ultimately, it is up to you to choose the method that best accommodates your needs for registering domain objects.\n\nWith the custom ObjectStorage class in place, let’s examine the implementation of the aforementioned data mapper. The DataMapperInterface defines the core operations:\n\nnamespace Mapper;\n\nuse Model\\EntityInterface;\n\ninterface DataMapperInterface\n{\npublic function fetchById($id);\npublic function fetchAll(array $conditions = array());\npublic function insert(EntityInterface $entity);\npublic function update(EntityInterface $entity);\npublic function save(EntityInterface $entity);\npublic function delete(EntityInterface $entity);\n}\n\nThe AbstractDataMapper class implements this interface and provides a standard API for pulling domain objects in and out of the database:\n\nnamespace Mapper;\n\nuse Library\\Database\\DatabaseAdapterInterface;\nuse Model\\Collection\\EntityCollectionInterface;\nuse Model\\EntityInterface;\n\nabstract class AbstractDataMapper implements DataMapperInterface\n{\nprotected $adapter;\nprotected $collection;\nprotected $entityTable;\n\npublic function __construct(DatabaseAdapterInterface $adapter, EntityCollectionInterface $collection, $entityTable = null)\n{\n$this->adapter = $adapter;\n$this->collection = $collection;\nif ($entityTable !== null) {\n$this->setEntityTable($entityTable);\n}\n}\n\npublic function setEntityTable($entityTable)\n{\nif (!is_string($entityTable) || empty($entityTable)) {\nthrow new InvalidArgumentException(\"The entity table is invalid.\");\n}\n$this->entityTable = $entityTable;\nreturn $this;\n}\n\npublic function fetchById($id)\n{\n$this->adapter->select($this->entityTable, array(\"id\" => $id));\nif (!$row = $this->adapter->fetch()) {\nreturn null;\n}\nreturn $this->loadEntity($row);\n}\n\npublic function fetchAll(array $conditions = array())\n{\n$this->adapter->select($this->entityTable, $conditions);\n$rows = $this->adapter->fetchAll();\nreturn $this->loadEntityCollection($rows);\n}\n\npublic function insert(EntityInterface $entity)\n{\nreturn $this->adapter->insert($this->entityTable, $entity->toArray());\n}\n\npublic function update(EntityInterface $entity)\n{\nreturn $this->adapter->update($this->entityTable, $entity->toArray(), \"id = $entity->id\");\n}\n\npublic function save(EntityInterface $entity)\n{\nreturn !isset($entity->id)\n? $this->adapter->insert($this->entityTable, $entity->toArray())\n: $this->adapter->update($this->entityTable, $entity->toArray(), \"id = $entity->id\");\n}\n\npublic function delete(EntityInterface $entity)\n{\nreturn $this->adapter->delete($this->entityTable, \"id = $entity->id\");\n}\n\nprotected function loadEntityCollection(array $rows)\n{\n$this->collection->clear();\nforeach ($rows as $row) {\n$this->collection[] = $this->loadEntity($row);\n}\nreturn $this->collection;\n}\n\nabstract protected function loadEntity(array $row);\n}\n\nTo make things even easier, it is helpful to derive a refined implementation of the AbstractDataMapper. This allows us to easily test the UOW with a few sample user objects.

His tenure concluded on March 4, 1909. Roosevelt had served as Vice President for only 194 days before succeeding to the presidency. A Republican, he won a full four-year term in the 1904 election, easily defeating the Democratic nominee, Alton B. Parker. Following the Republican victory in the 1908 presidential election, Roosevelt was succeeded by his protégé and chosen successor, William Howard Taft.\n\nA Progressive reformer, Roosevelt earned a reputation as a \"trust buster\" through his regulatory reforms and anti-trust prosecutions. His presidency saw the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act, which established the Food and Drug Administration to regulate food safety, and the Hepburn Act, which increased the regulatory power of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Roosevelt took care to show that he did not disagree with trusts and capitalism in principle, but was only against monopolistic practices. His \"Square Deal\" included the regulation of railroad rates and pure foods and drugs; he saw it as a fair deal for both the average citizen and businessmen. Sympathetic to both business and labor, Roosevelt avoided labor strife, most notably by negotiating a settlement to the Great Coal Strike of 1902. His great love was nature, and he vigorously promoted the conservation movement, emphasizing the efficient use of natural resources. He dramatically expanded the system of national parks and national forests. After 1906, he moved to the left, attacking big business and anti-labor decisions of the courts.\n\nIn foreign affairs, Roosevelt sought to uphold the Monroe Doctrine and establish the United States as a strong naval power. He inherited the colonial empire acquired during the Spanish–American War; while he ended the U.S. military presence in Cuba, he committed to a long-term occupation of the Philippines. Much of his foreign policy focused on the threats posed by Japan in the Pacific Ocean and Germany in the Caribbean Sea. Seeking to avoid the presence of European empires in the Western Hemisphere, Roosevelt mediated the Venezuela Crisis and declared the Roosevelt Corollary, in which the U.S. promised to uphold legitimate European claims on Latin American countries. Roosevelt also mediated the Russo-Japanese War, for which he won the Nobel Prize. He pursued closer relations with Great Britain, allowing for the beginning of the construction of the Panama Canal, which increased U.S. security and trade opportunities.\n\nHistorian Thomas Bailey, who generally disagreed with Roosevelt's policies, nevertheless concluded, \"Roosevelt was a great personality, a great activist, a great preacher of the moralities, a great controversialist, a great showman. He dominated his era as he dominated conversations...the masses loved him; he proved to be a great popular idol and a great vote getter.\" His image stands alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore.

It also noted the implementation of accurate and intelligible accounting, the construction of a telegraph and cable communications network, the establishment of a postal savings bank, and large-scale road and bridge building. Further achievements included impartial and incorrupt policing, well-financed civil engineering, the conservation of old Spanish architecture, the creation of large public parks, a bidding process for the right to build railways, the introduction of corporation law, and a coastal and geological survey.\n\nCuba\n\nWhile the Philippines would remain under U.S. control until 1946, Cuba gained independence in 1902. The Platt Amendment, passed during the final year of McKinley's tenure, made Cuba a de facto protectorate of the United States. Roosevelt won congressional approval for a reciprocity agreement with Cuba in December 1902, thereby lowering tariffs on trade between the two countries. In 1906, an insurrection erupted against Cuban President Tomás Estrada Palma due to allegations of electoral fraud. Both Estrada Palma and his liberal opponents called for an intervention by the U.S., but Roosevelt was initially reluctant to intervene. When Estrada Palma and his Cabinet resigned, Secretary of War Taft declared that the U.S. would intervene under the terms of the Platt Amendment, beginning the Second Occupation of Cuba. U.S. forces restored peace to the island, and the occupation ceased shortly before the end of Roosevelt's presidency.\n\nPuerto Rico\n\nPuerto Rico had been something of an afterthought during the Spanish–American War, but it assumed importance due to its strategic position in the Caribbean Sea. The island provided an ideal naval base for the defense of the Panama Canal and served as an economic and political link to the rest of Latin America. Prevailing racist attitudes made Puerto Rican statehood unlikely, so the U.S. carved out a new political status for the island. The Foraker Act and subsequent Supreme Court cases established Puerto Rico as the first unincorporated territory, meaning that the United States Constitution would not fully apply to Puerto Rico. Though the U.S. imposed tariffs on most Puerto Rican imports, it also invested in the island's infrastructure and education system. Nationalist sentiment remained strong on the island, and Puerto Ricans continued to primarily speak Spanish rather than English.\n\nMilitary reforms\n\nA political cartoonist's commentary on Roosevelt's \"big stick\" policy", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8813, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b388acb54e59eee48788d9b90d873394ed129645", "raw_chars": 2609, "clean_chars": 2275, "edit_ratio": 0.9066, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A few years ago, I passed a street teeming with panhandlers begging for change, which made me wonder what causes some people to stop and give while others walk on by. To investigate, I spent some time discreetly people-watching. While many pedestrians ignored the beggars, a few stopped to give. This led me to question what separated those who paused from those who didn't, and what distinguished the more successful beggars from the less successful ones. Was it their specific situation, their presentation, or their strategy?\n\nTo explore this, I enlisted the help of Daniel Berger Jones, an acting student at Boston University who had just finished hiking around Europe. Having not shaved in months and already looking quite scruffy, he was perfectly suited for the task. As part of his acting training, I thought it would be beneficial for him to learn how to beg for money, though he did not initially see that particular benefit. I found a street corner and placed him there to try his hand at panhandling. I asked Daniel to experiment with different approaches and keep track of which ones yielded more or less money. After the experiment concluded, we donated all the earnings to charity.\n\nThe general setup followed a 2x2 design. As people walked by, Daniel would either sit down (the passive approach) or stand up (the active approach), and he would either make eye contact or avoid it. This created four conditions: sitting and making eye contact, sitting and avoiding eye contact, standing and making eye contact, or standing and avoiding eye contact.\n\nDaniel got to work, scrounging for money on his corner. It turned out that both his position and his eye contact made a significant difference. He earned more money when he was standing and when he looked people in the eyes. The most lucrative strategy seemed to involve putting in more effort to get noticed and making eye contact so that passersby could not pretend not to see him.\n\nInterestingly, while the eye contact approach was generally effective, some passersby employed a counterstrategy. They actively shifted their gaze, seemingly trying to pretend he wasn't there. They acted as if there was a dark hole in front of them rather than a person, and they were quite successful at averting their eyes.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8811, "chunk_idx": 20, "raw_sha1": "d7824ac261d259ebe5c0f6741d90a7db0f12c790", "raw_chars": 3211, "clean_chars": 3161, "edit_ratio": 0.0741, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Roosevelt had mixed feelings about seeking a third term. While he enjoyed being president and was still relatively youthful, he believed that limiting the number of terms served as a check against dictatorship. Ultimately, he decided to honor his 1904 pledge not to run for a third term and threw his support behind a successor to avoid a potential pro-Roosevelt delegate stampede at the 1908 Republican National Convention. Roosevelt personally favored Secretary of State Elihu Root, but Root's ill health made him an unsuitable candidate. New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes loomed as a potentially strong candidate and shared Roosevelt's progressivism, but Roosevelt disliked him and considered him too independent. Instead, Roosevelt settled on his Secretary of War, William Howard Taft, who had ably served under Presidents Harrison, McKinley, and Roosevelt in various positions. Roosevelt and Taft had been friends since 1890, and Taft had consistently supported President Roosevelt's policies.\n\nMany conservatives wanted to re-take leadership of the party from the progressive Roosevelt. Senator Joseph Foraker, who like Taft was from Ohio, briefly emerged as the main conservative candidate for the GOP nomination. However, Taft defeated Foraker's attempt to win control of the Ohio Republican Party and entered the convention as the strong favorite over Foraker, Hughes, and Senator Philander Knox.\n\nAt the 1908 Republican convention, many chanted for \"four years more\" of a Roosevelt presidency, but Taft won the nomination after Roosevelt's close friend, Henry Cabot Lodge, made it clear that Roosevelt was not interested in a third term. In a speech accepting the Republican nomination, Taft promised to continue the policies of Roosevelt, but as the campaign progressed he minimized his reliance on Roosevelt and did not ask the president to publicly campaign for him.\n\nThe Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan, who had been the party's presidential candidate in 1896 and 1900. Bryan, a populist Democrat widely regarded as a strong speaker, thought that Taft was a weak candidate and hoped that the public would tire of the Republican leadership the country had experienced since the 1896 election. The platforms of the two parties differed little: both called for anti-trust actions, railroad and labor regulations, and a revision of the tariff. As election day approached, it became clear that Taft would retain the loyalty of Republican voters and win a wide victory over Bryan, who had failed to find a winning issue on which to campaign. Taft won 321 of the 483 electoral votes and 51.6% of the popular vote. Republicans also retained control of both houses of Congress. Roosevelt regarded the victory of his chosen successor as a vindication of his policies and presidency. As he left office, Roosevelt was widely regarded as the most powerful and influential president since Abraham Lincoln.\n\nTaft's decision to retain few members of Roosevelt's Cabinet alienated Roosevelt, although Roosevelt continued to support his successor throughout the transition period.\n\nHistorical reputation\n\nRoosevelt in Pennsylvania on 26 October 1914", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8822, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "b7516c19e3d47f5e85c8a4f40527080b7c5f4519", "raw_chars": 3314, "clean_chars": 3189, "edit_ratio": 0.1081, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Likewise, we are told that we must \"win\" in Afghanistan so that al-Qaeda cannot use Afghan territory to plan further attacks against the United States.

According to the logic of those who endorse military action against Afghanistan because al-Qaeda was physically present, one could argue in favor of US airstrikes against several US states and Germany. It makes no sense. The Taliban allowed al-Qaeda to remain in Afghanistan because both had been engaged, with US assistance, in the insurgency against the Soviet occupation.\n\nNevertheless, the president’s National Security Advisor, Gen. James Jones, USMC (Ret.), said in a recent interview that less than 100 al-Qaeda members remain in Afghanistan and that the chance they would reconstitute a significant presence there was slim. Are we to believe that 30,000 more troops are needed to defeat 100 al-Qaeda fighters? I fear that there will be increasing pressure for the US to invade Pakistan, to where many Taliban and al-Qaeda have escaped.

Afghanistan is no different. Without a real strategy in Afghanistan, without a vision of what victory will look like, we are left with the empty rhetoric of the last administration that \"when the Afghan people stand up, the US will stand down.\" I am afraid the only solution to the Afghanistan quagmire is a rapid and complete US withdrawal from that country and the region.

She fought the urge to spread her legs wide like she would if they were alone. The towel slipped up so that her shaved pubic area was exposed. Apparently Sage took this as a cue that it was OK to move his motions up a little farther too and he began mirroring Sun's hands on the other hip bone and the other side of her pussy.

The catalyst for Zheng's groundbreaking work in solar energy began with an offhand comment her father made years ago at their apartment, a 13-story complex in the northeast China city of Anshan.\n\n\"In China, the rooftops of many buildings are packed with solar energy devices,\" Zheng says. \"One day my father mentioned how great it would be if a building's entire surface could be used for solar power, not just the roof, but also walls and windows.\"\n\nAn invention from Zheng's research team at Stanford University might someday make that possible. They have created a type of solar cell that is thin, flexible, and adhesive—a solar sticker, in effect, that could help power everything from buildings to airplanes.\n\n\"By making solar cells extremely thin and flexible, they can be used in all kinds of new ways,\" says Zheng, an associate professor at Stanford and recipient of the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. \"I hope our discovery will dramatically expand the affordable, practical, widespread application of solar power.\"\n\nIn 2010, a decade after her father's initial comment, Zheng read a research paper that triggered the idea again. It described an experiment in which the nanomaterial graphene was grown on a layer of nickel atop a silicon wafer. When submerged in water, the nickel separated from the surface, along with the graphene.\n\n\"It sounded unbelievable, like a magic trick,\" she recalls. \"But they had achieved very reliable results.\" What if, she wondered, the same principle could be used to yield a thinner, more flexible solar cell that could peel off, attach to adhesive, and stick to virtually any surface?\n\nBecause conventional thin-film solar cells are manufactured on glass or silicon wafers, they are rigid, heavy, and quite limited in how and where they can be used. Plastic or paper would be far more flexible, but it cannot withstand the high temperatures and chemicals required for fabrication.\n\n\"Our new technique lets us treat the solar cells like a pizza,\" explains Zheng. \"When you bake pizza, you use a metal pan that can tolerate high temperatures. But when it's time to distribute the pizza economically, it's placed in a paper box.\"\n\nWorking with her students, Zheng set out to fabricate solar cells on a silicone or glass surface as usual, but she inserted a metallic layer between the cell and the surface. After some trial and error, the team was finally able to peel away the metallic layer from the surface after soaking the whole structure in water for just a few seconds.\n\nThe result was an active solar cell that is only a couple of microns thick—about one-tenth the thickness of plastic wrap, Zheng says. \"It's extremely flexible, so it can be attached to any surface—the back of a mobile phone, a skylight, a wall, a curved column.\"\n\nThe skinny, bendable cells can produce the same amount of electricity as rigid ones, and they offer cost benefits as well, according to Zheng. \"The silicon wafers come through the process clean and shiny,\" she says. \"So just like a pizza pan, they can be used again and again, which translates to savings.\" And because the solar stickers are lighter than conventional panels, they will be easier and less expensive to install.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8864, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "2791800df35abcd4f593885a2b0bbd1254524f41", "raw_chars": 1358, "clean_chars": 1369, "edit_ratio": 0.4719, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Other wrestlers now know that they don’t need to look a certain way or behave a certain way; they can make a career for themselves on their own terms.\n\nWith CM Punk gone, there will be a gap that needs to be filled.

Patrick Waldron, a spokesperson for CN Rail, stated that the incident occurred around 1 a.m. Mountain Time near Peers in Yellowhead County, approximately 180 kilometres west of Edmonton. Waldron explained that the 137-car train was traveling from Prince George to Edmonton when the derailment took place.\n\nOne of the derailed cars was a dangerous goods tanker carrying sulphur dioxide, while the remaining 12 cars were loaded with lumber. Waldron confirmed that the tanker remained upright and was not leaking, noting that there were no immediate environmental concerns or threats to the public. Fire officials from Yellowhead County contacted CN and assessed the crash site but determined that firefighter intervention was unnecessary. CN Rail crews remained on the scene as the cause of the derailment came under investigation. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) announced it would not be sending investigators to the site.\n\nThe incident occurred along the same tracks as a derailment near Gainford just two weeks prior. Although the two events were about 90 kilometres apart, the proximity in time raised concerns among local residents. The TSB was still investigating the cause of the Gainford crash, which had forced approximately 100 residents to evacuate their homes for several days while crews extinguished fires on two cars carrying liquefied petroleum gas.\n\nTheresa Lytle, a resident who works in Peers, expressed bafflement to CBC’s Laura Osman upon hearing the news. \"Really? So soon after the one at Gainford?\" she asked. Lytle said she was relieved that the derailed cars primarily contained lumber, unlike the petroleum gas and crude oil that complicated the Gainford situation. However, she acknowledged that the incident prompted her to consider how the community would have been impacted had the derailment been more severe. \"I was kind of wondering with the one at Gainford if it would happen here, with the houses being so close to the railroad,\" she said.\n\nResident Erville Lennon echoed these concerns, stating that his immediate reaction was worry for the people and environment near the tracks. \"You wonder what’s going on: are they maintaining their tracks or not maintaining their tracks for that to happen that quickly?\" he remarked.\n\nDespite the recent history, Yellowhead County Mayor Gerald Soroka said the derailment did not shake his confidence in CN Rail. He noted that the community had been fortunate, with no loss of life, no major highway closures, and no need for fire department involvement. \"We only had a few issues arise from it,\" Soroka said. \"There was no loss of life, we didn’t have to shut down any major highways, we didn’t have to have our fire departments involved in this – so there were some benefits.\"\n\nWhile Soroka acknowledged that the crash would likely prompt CN to review its operations and maintenance procedures, he expressed little concern about future train traffic through the county. \"I do put a lot of trust and faith in CN,\" he said. \"I feel they’ve done a very good job keeping the train on the rails. I believe it’s always going to be a concern but hopefully it doesn’t ever happen – a derailment such as the one that happened in Quebec, for instance.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Greenpeace spokesman Mike Hudema issued a statement on Sunday afternoon addressing the recent string of derailments across the country.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8868, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "05afbb40f943784ff4fb8b33b64a7c4d22b4e1f5", "raw_chars": 3086, "clean_chars": 2900, "edit_ratio": 0.5409, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "What is it about Hollywood elites who jump on their soapboxes to proclaim themselves as saviors of America, only to do everything in their power to undermine the core principles of its founding? Take Hollywood's anti-gun celebrities as an example. Between making personal fortunes by glorifying guns in their movies and living exuberant lifestyles that include armed security, one might think they would support their fellow Americans' right to self-defense. They do not.\n\nWe are all familiar with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his controversial anti-gun initiative, Everytown For Gun Safety. Recently, Academy Award-winning actress Julianne Moore launched her own gun control group, the Everytown Creative Council, which, not surprisingly, operates under the auspices of Bloomberg's organization. To assist her, she has recruited fellow celebrities such as Meg Ryan, Amy Schumer, Jennifer Lawrence, Reese Witherspoon, Kevin Bacon, Kristen Bell, Jessica Chastain, and J.J. Abrams to join what critics view as an assault on the Second Amendment.\n\nIn a blog post for the Huffington Post, Moore wrote:\n\n\"We are actors and artists, but we are Americans first. We respect the Second Amendment, but keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of convicted criminals, terrorists, domestic abusers, stalkers, and dangerous people isn't anti-gun; it's pro-common sense.\"\n\n\"We know that more than 90 percent of Americans support common-sense reforms that are proven to save lives. What not enough people know, and what the gun lobby doesn't want more of us to know, is that a large majority of gun owners support these reforms too.\"\n\nThis level of propaganda is reminiscent of the pompous figures in George Orwell's 1945 classic novel Animal Farm, where all people are equal, but some are more equal than others. Moore first attempts to establish herself and her fellow creatives as \"Americans First,\" a move that serves as a preemptive strike against our reasoning and constitutional understanding of the Second Amendment. She then attempts to instill fear by listing all the \"bad guys\" who could potentially get their hands on \"dangerous weapons.\" If she had read the FBI's yearly published Uniform Crime Report, she would know that the most commonly used lethal weapon is not a gun, but rather a bludgeoning instrument, primarily the fist.\n\nFurthermore, who does she mean when she loosely uses terms like \"terrorists\" and \"dangerous people\"? Does she mean NRA members? Tea Party supporters? Christians? She also cleverly uses softer-sounding phrases like \"pro-common sense\" instead of \"anti-gun,\" even though gun control proponents like Bloomberg believe confiscation is the best exercise of common sense.

In reality, the EPA was attempting to avoid hiring that many workers. As I noted, the article contained enough significant errors to warrant either major corrections or a full retraction.\n\nToday, David Martosko, the executive editor of The Daily Caller, attempted to justify the original piece in an editorial. However, Martosko's failed defense of an indefensible article means The Daily Caller now has two publications filled with errors and misrepresentations that should be corrected or retracted entirely.\n\nMartosko correctly noted that the effects of the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations exceeded the agency's expectations. He also accurately stated that the EPA drafted a tailoring rule to be implemented in phases to minimize impacts on regulated entities. Furthermore, he correctly identified that a federal court case is pending to determine whether the EPA's tailoring rule complies with the Clean Air Act. Unfortunately, everything else Martosko wrote regarding the tailoring rule, the supposed 230,000 new EPA jobs, and the pending court case is either incorrect or omits critical information.\n\nMartosko claimed the EPA would need to hire an additional 230,000 employees to regulate 6.1 million GHG emitters. He neglected to mention that the EPA presented this as a choice in its court filing: either radically expand the EPA's size and budget, or manage a permitting process that would stretch from six to ten months today to approximately ten years, all within the EPA's current budget and workforce.\n\nMartosko wrote that the EPA \"was in court to ask a court for permission\" to implement the phased-in tailoring rule, and that the lawsuit was \"presumably the only way the EPA can avoid the $21 billion hiring spree.\" This is simply false. As I mentioned yesterday, the EPA was challenged in federal court by multiple state attorneys general and numerous industry groups. It is those states and industry groups demanding that the EPA regulate according to a strict interpretation of the Clean Air Act, which would force the agency to hire more workers or drastically lengthen the permitting process. Therefore, it is not the EPA asking the court for permission; rather, it is the state attorneys general challenging the EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act.\n\nMartosko argued that the EPA's tailoring rule \"doesn't seem to comply with the Clean Air Act\" because the Act \"doesn't allow the government to pick and choose\" whom to regulate. While this may be true, Martosko cannot know for certain, as a court case is pending in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Case No. 10-1073) that will decide this exact question.

She singled out the administration’s education policies, covering both K-12 and higher education, though Stewart steered the conversation toward the former.\n\nWhen Barnes claimed that \"we are turning schools around\" and described the multi-billion-dollar Race to the Top competition as a paradigm shift away from the \"cookie-cutter approach\" of the prescriptive No Child Left Behind Act, Stewart was clearly skeptical.\n\nStewart responded, \"The biggest complaint I hear from teachers, and by teachers I mean my mom... A) Why did you wear that shirt? and B) the teaching to the test.

No Child Left Behind had that cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach to education. And instead, what we’ve done through Race to the Top, and most recently because Congress wouldn’t move on reauthorizing the No Child Left Behind Act and turning it around, we’ve used our flexibility in the executive branch to say, ‘You’ve got some relief if you are going to put in place some smart reforms from those mandates from No Child Left Behind so there’s more flexibility, there’s more innovation, there’s more creativity so teachers can in fact teach.’\"\n\nAt that point, Stewart might have dismantled her argument if she had been, say, Jim Cramer, the former hedge fund manager turned television personality whom Stewart took apart in 2009 for his financial commentary while the economy was collapsing. After all, Race to the Top—a competition that has states vie for federal funds by promising to implement reforms championed by the Education Department—does, in fact, extend No Child Left Behind’s obsession with standardized testing. It does so by requiring that teacher evaluations be partly measured by the scores students receive on these exams. There is no concrete evidence that any of the Race to the Top reforms actually improve student achievement, but when has education policy paid attention to research?\n\nInstead of a frontal assault, Stewart let Barnes off easy, perhaps recognizing there was no point in attacking directly.

Police records show a 41% increase in hate crimes in July 2016 compared to the same month the previous year, with a peak recorded on July 1.

However, women remain underrepresented among faculty members at universities and other research institutes, despite the fact that these scientists generally lead research teams. The study released on Tuesday, led by researchers at Harvard Medical School, found that women comprise 33 percent of academic medical faculty overall but only 17 percent of full professors.\n\n\"That is one of the biggest challenges at any institution: how do you ensure you are providing adequate support for women?\" Gilliland asked. He expressed pride that women make up 40 percent of the full members at Fred Hutch, which is equivalent to full professors at universities, but acknowledged that the institution, along with academic science as a whole, still has work to do to achieve gender equality. \"The thing I would like to focus on here at the Hutch is how do we get to 50 percent female faculty?

Previous studies have identified that women in academic science and medicine earn lower salaries, publish fewer papers, and are less likely to hold leadership positions than men.\n\nHowever, the Harvard study captured measures of research productivity, such as years of experience, publications, grant funding, and participation in clinical trials, which could influence women's career advancement. The researchers accounted for any measure they could think of other than blanket discrimination and stripped those factors away.\n\nWhen they did, they found that, all else being equal, a female academic physician was about 13 percent less likely to be a full professor than her male counterpart, Jena said.

Erick Barnett, assistant deputy director for ICE, told The Guardian that any site using a .com or .net domain name is fair game, as those are registered through the US company Verisign. \"By definition, almost all copyright infringement and trademark violation is transnational,\" he told the newspaper. \"There's very little purely domestic intellectual property theft.\"\n\nIain Connor, a partner in the intellectual property division at law firm Pinsent Masons, said the situation was similar in the UK, but a site need not even use a .uk address to be taken to court, despite a general belief to the contrary. \"You look to where the website is directed,\" Connor told PC Pro. While a web address can be one part of that, courts will also look at what language it is written in, what currency it takes payments in, and who advertising is directed at. \"It is a myriad of factors which will determine whether a UK court feels it has jurisdiction, because the test for jurisdiction is where the damage is occurring,\" he said. \"People do not understand the extra-jurisdictional nature of the internet.

If I got off shoplifting in the past, does that mean shoplifting is now legal?

There are 12 typical examples implemented in React.js, and each example is another chapter. Each example contains a narration on how one of us from Arkency approaches the development of a React.js component. Furthermore, you receive all the repositories for this book, allowing you to browse the code, run the examples, and tweak them.

It goes beyond simple line coverage, which only tells you if lines of code were executed, by verifying that all behaviors and edge cases are properly tested. It achieves this by making subtle, single-point changes to the code and running the test suite. If the tests pass after a change, it is considered a failure, because the tests should have caught the alteration but remained unaware of the modification.\n\nFor example, a mutation might change a less-than operator (<) to a less-than-or-equal operator (<=). If you haven't verified the exact boundary conditions in your tests, you might achieve 100% code coverage but still fail mutation testing.\n\nBackground\n\nI wanted to try mutation testing for the libraries I build in Python, so I looked at what was available. I had some ideas for radically speeding up mutation testing based on how pytest-testmon works, along with some of my own concepts.\n\nA quick search revealed two alternatives:\n\nMutpy: A simple system developed as a thesis project, which is no longer maintained.\nCosmic Ray: An actively developed tool.\n\nBoth tools are Python 3 only, which was unfortunate since I was still using Python 2 for work at the time, at least for another year. However, I could have managed since my libraries supported both Python 2 and 3.\n\nCosmic Ray seemed more promising, so I tried installing it. After struggling just to get the dependencies installed, I decided that if installation was this difficult, the tool probably wouldn't be practical. I looked into the code to see if I could use just the mutation parts as a library, but it appeared to be a large, monolithic system, so I gave up on that approach.\n\nNext, I looked at Mutpy. The code was radically smaller and simpler, but after struggling to refactor it to make it even simpler, I asked myself: \"How hard can it be?\"\n\nTurns out, not that bad! Most of the building blocks were already available.\n\nI decided that I absolutely wanted a feature that both Cosmic Ray and Mutpy lacked: the ability to apply a mutation to a source file without corrupting the entire file. Cosmic Ray and Mutpy use Python's built-in AST library, but it has the unfortunate property of not preserving formatting in the AST. This makes it impossible to simply dump the AST back out and retrieve the original file. So, if I couldn't use Python's own AST, what then? Enter Baron, an independently developed Python-to-AST library specifically created to round-trip without changing your source files. Baron didn't support all of Python 3 syntax yet, unfortunately, but it looked like people were working on it.\n\n[EDIT: Since this article, I've replaced Baron with Parso, and now I fully support Python 3!]\n\nMy battle plan was this:", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8922, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "78326d12e35825450c00157e6251d7a80dfcd8f4", "raw_chars": 3166, "clean_chars": 3493, "edit_ratio": 0.8288, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The goal was to create a mutation function that receives source code and can mutate everything relevant—allowing for a count of available mutations—or apply a specific mutation specified by an index. An import hook was needed so that the file to be mutated would be altered in memory as it loaded from disk, enabling parallelization. A pytest plugin was to be developed to set up the import hook and allow specification of the desired mutation. Additionally, a small command-line program was required to run through the mutations and check the test output. This program should also be able to apply a specific mutation directly to disk, making it easy to inspect the mutant once an interesting one is found.\n\nPoint 1 was fairly straightforward. The main task was ensuring that all Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) node types were either left unmutated, because mutation did not make sense for them, or mutated in the most aggressive way possible. During this step, I reviewed the code of several large open-source projects, such as Django and NumPy. I discovered some parsing bugs in the Baron library, but none that impacted the code I intended to run mutation testing on. I reported the bugs and moved on.\n\nPoint 2 proved to be quite difficult. It turns out that Python's import hook system is quite flawed. The default behavior for loading from the filesystem is not part of the standard list of hooks because it is implemented in C code, meaning you cannot base a custom importer on it. This would be acceptable if the design were sound, but unfortunately, the import hook system operates by having Python ask one import hook at a time to import a module. While this sounds simple—and simplicity is often beneficial—the actual import process involves several steps: finding the source file, reading the source file, and converting the source file from text into a runnable module. All importers must perform all of these steps. Consequently, the zip file importer must replicate the steps that match the default behavior, and it cannot simply call into the default loader because that loader does not exist as Python code. Furthermore, if I wanted to intercept the process between reading the source file and converting it for every importer, I would have to reimplement all of them.\n\nThis is obviously problematic and might not even be possible for systems with their own custom importers. Even worse, implementing an import hook correctly requires a significant amount of non-trivial code that is difficult to get right. It is supposedly better in Python 3 with importlib, so I found a backport for Python 2, but it was broken. I managed to hack around the crashes, but ultimately, I could not get the import hook working with it. I also asked for help on Reddit, to no avail.\n\nAfter several hours of struggling with this issue, I gave up on the import hook approach for now and reverted to disk-based mutation. It is not ideal because it cannot be run in parallel, but at least it works and is very simple. It is also highly flexible regarding which test runner is used, as it does not require plugins that would need to be developed individually for pytest, nose, unittest, and so on. Giving up on the import hook meant that Point 3 became moot, which was a relief.\n\nI should have built this utility first anyway, as it is very useful.\n\nPoint 4 was relatively easy. The hardest part was figuring out how to output continuous progress updates on the console nicely.\n\nSo, where do I stand now?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8934, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5b5383365a3b14f3df3600aaaf3d3e48711e8496", "raw_chars": 3469, "clean_chars": 3697, "edit_ratio": 0.5931, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Workers in the United States are acutely aware that they are losing ground during the current economic depression, even as they watch the wealthy prosper in the opposite direction. This decline in real wages compounds a period of wage stagnation that has persisted for the previous three decades.\n\nA new report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) highlights this disparity, noting that the recent recovery in the United States appears unusual from a historical perspective. The report observes a much stronger rebound in profits relative to labor income. One explanation offered is that workers' fear of long-term unemployment has led to more subdued wages relative to labor productivity growth during the recent recovery.\n\nThis raises the question of how we can speak of both a \"depression\" and a \"recovery\" occurring simultaneously in the US and global capitalist economy. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman compares the current situation to the Great Depression of the 1930s. After the initial crash, there was a brief period of recovery that led to another downturn around 1937. However, the entire decade was marked by stagnation and high unemployment. This is precisely the kind of period we are experiencing now.\n\nThe IMF report found that Americans are lagging far behind their counterparts in Europe. Only workers in two advanced European economies fared worse during the recent recovery: Spain and Greece. Furthermore, while profits are up everywhere, total labor compensation has risen in every leading economy except four: the US, Greece, Ireland, and Spain. The change in the relative share of total income going to labor has fallen sharply in the US since the trough of the downturn, whereas it has risen slightly in Europe as a whole.\n\nShould workers in the US look to Europe for guidance? That does not seem to be the case when peering across the Atlantic. What we see is a Europe in deep economic turmoil, with some countries, including Britain, already teetering on the brink of a new downturn, high unemployment, and austerity measures for workers. While it is true that many European workers still benefit from a higher social wage and government benefits won through past struggles, the current austerity drive is actively attacking those benefits.\n\nMoreover, in much of Europe, the electoral system—while still geared toward maintaining capitalist rule—is more democratic than in the US. The voice of working-class resistance to the capitalist offensive can sometimes be heard, even if it is muffled. In some cases, it is not so muffled, as seen with the anti-austerity Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) in Greece, which came in second in the May 6 elections and is polling well ahead for the June 17 follow-up election.\n\nIn contrast, the US is in the midst of an electoral farce. The Democrats and Republicans function as two wings of a single capitalist party, with their major \"difference\" revolving around how much to cut the social wage, how quickly to do so, and how much to privatize everything from jails and education to the postal system. The grotesque spectacle of billions of dollars being spent on vacuous advertisements for candidates from both parties makes the 2012 elections not just a farce, but buffoonery.\n\nOne thing we can identify with in Europe is the presence of mass mobilizations against the capitalist offensive, of which the Occupy movement is a part. The situation for US workers is actually even worse than it appears in the IMF report. The IMF includes in the workers' share of national income not just wages and salaries, but also interest, capital gains, and stock compensation, and compares this aggregate to business profits.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8946, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "69358bd8641eee6e0d9e6702202e353a1894e762", "raw_chars": 720, "clean_chars": 808, "edit_ratio": 0.5942, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "With three iterations, the dough is now ready to slice.

Taking that concept further leads us to the kitchen, where we can make Sierpinski cookies. These cookies, crafted from contrasting colors of butter cookie dough, offer a tasty realization of the Sierpinski carpet, resulting in lovely, edible fractals.\n\nSimilar to our earlier project with clay, you can create these cookies using a simple iterative algorithmic process. This involves stretching the dough and folding it over onto itself in a specific pattern. For inspiration, we found the pixel cookies featured on Instructables to be quite helpful. While you can certainly create a representation of a fractal using pixels, such as Sierpinski triangles, there is a significant logical difference between generating a fractal algorithmically and simply making a picture of one with pixels.\n\nOur method begins with an initial pattern. Once created, this pattern is stretched out to become small enough to form the basis of the next iteration, which is then stretched and folded to create the subsequent iteration. We have used this method before with Fimo fractals, but the time has finally come for cookie fractals.\n\nThe advice from the pixel cookie recipe to use the butter cookie recipe from Cook's Illustrated is excellent, and they even posted the recipe online. You will need dough in contrasting colors. While you can use food coloring, we suggest using chocolate instead. To make a batch of chocolate dough, reduce the flour by one-quarter cup and substitute it with one-quarter cup of cocoa powder. Additionally, reduce the butter by a tablespoon and mix about a tablespoon of melted bittersweet chocolate into the cream cheese before adding it to the dough. Chilling the dough is not necessary, as you want it to remain soft enough to be workable.\n\nTo create the first block, roll out eight strips of one color and one strip of the contrasting color. After rolling them out, form each strip into a square, then stack them to form a larger block with the contrasting color in the center. You will want to slice off the end of the stack to even it up. Use a sharp knife and cut carefully to avoid squishing the pattern.\n\nTo draw the block out longer and thinner without disturbing the pattern, turn it over frequently. You can either squeeze the sides and then rotate, or press the top and then rotate. It helps to pull it out twice as long as it was, then cut it in half, and repeat this process until you have eight equal pieces, each about as long as the original block. Parchment paper makes a good work surface for this. Keep an extra sheet handy for when the one you are working on gets too sticky.\n\nRoll out another length of the contrasting color, using the same amount of dough you used for the original pieces. Form it into a square, and stack the pieces up with the contrasting piece in the center again.\n\nAs you draw out the block, the edges of the individual sections will merge. If you want to cut samples of the different iterations, this is the time to do it, just after the edges have merged sufficiently. Again, lengthen it until it is twice as long, cut, lengthen those pieces, cut again, and repeat.\n\nWhen you add another piece of contrasting color and stack everything up, the pieces will again be somewhat separate.

The Center for American Progress (CAP), a liberal think tank, published a fact sheet in May 2016 identifying nine unnecessary oil and gas tax breaks that should be terminated. Repealing these subsidies, according to CAP, would save the US Treasury a minimum of $37.7 billion over the next 10 years.\n\nAn August 2016 report for the Council on Foreign Relations by Gilbert Metcalf, an economics professor at Tufts University, concluded that eliminating the three major federal tax incentives for oil and gas production would have a relatively small impact on production and consumption. The three provisions—deductions for \"intangible\" drilling costs, deductions for oil and gas deposit depletion, and deductions for domestic manufacturing—account for 90 percent of the cost of the subsidies. Ending these tax breaks, Metcalf says, would save the Treasury roughly $4 billion a year and would not appreciably raise oil and gas prices.\n\nAt the same time, the relatively new, burgeoning clean energy sector deserves federal support as it gains a foothold in the marketplace. Steve Clemmer, energy research director at the Union of Concerned Scientists, made the case in testimony before a House subcommittee last March that Congress should preserve wind and solar tax incentives beyond 2020.\n\n\"Until we can transition to national policies that provide more stable, long-term support for clean, low-carbon energy,\" he said, \"Congress should extend federal tax credits by at least five more years to maintain the sustained orderly growth of the industry and provide more parity and predictability for renewables in the tax code.\" Clemmer also recommended new tax credits for investments in low- and zero-carbon technologies and energy storage technologies.\n\nDespite the steady barrage of through-the-looking-glass statements by Trump administration officials, scientific and economic facts still matter.

While having customer data stolen through a cyberattack and subsequently bringing down a proprietary gaming network for nearly a month is never a positive development, Sony attempted to make amends with gamers through its Welcome Back Program, which offered four older titles for free. This initiative may have accidentally uncovered a new method for boosting game sales. According to a report by Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR), a market research firm, sales of Sony titles such as Infamous 2 and Little Big Planet 2 actually increased as a result of offering the original games for free. The report recommends that other publishers experiment with offering older games from their catalogs for free, particularly when a new sequel is available.\n\n\"While the Welcome Back program was designed to rekindle the activity and consumer trust of PlayStation Network users, the data suggests it may have highlighted a new profitable sequence for video games,\" the EEDAR report stated. By offering games for free, the increased awareness, excitement, and purchasing intent for a franchise more than compensate for any decreased sales profits, as EEDAR's data demonstrates.\n\nWhen broken down mathematically, the results make a sound financial argument. If a game that once sold 2 million units in the market is currently available both digitally and physically, it is likely producing gross receipts of about $500,000 a month. Assuming that gross receipts drop to $0 during a 30-day period where a title is free (-$500,000), as long as the free offering boosts sales of the next iteration by 8,500 units (at a $59 average selling price), it would produce a net benefit to the publisher. EEDAR believes that the publicity generated from the free offering, in addition to introducing new consumers to the series, would make the 8,500-unit mark easily achievable.\n\nThere are a few downsides, though. Games with a strong narrative element, such as the Mass Effect series, often see huge spikes in sales of previous titles as gamers seek to \"catch up\" with the story. Offering narrative games for free may not offset the potential profits in these cases. Another problem is that physical retailers, as opposed to digital marketplaces, will likely frown upon offering products for free that they can typically charge rental or used prices for.\n\nUnlike movies, there is no clear sequence of sales for games, and the industry could seriously use one. \"For instance, a movie is first released in theatres where it generates the most revenue, then moves to the Pay-Per-View market, followed by the rental market and lastly, broadcast for free on network television,\" the EEDAR report points out. \"Within the video game industry, however, these sequences typically occur simultaneously with games being available physically, digitally and for rental concurrently and rarely made available for free.\"\n\nThe plan that EEDAR recommends sounds similar to the free-to-play revolution currently underway in MMOs. Exposure to more content often loosens the purse strings more than a $60 paywall. While it certainly seems counter-intuitive to offer product for free, gamers would likely welcome the opportunity to play older games without emptying their wallets.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8977, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9f30f98ec09295f023db2ae70efcb735c7d9c9f2", "raw_chars": 3125, "clean_chars": 3015, "edit_ratio": 0.4065, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Brian Krebs is a prominent reporter covering cybersecurity. He regularly exposes cybercriminals and their tactics, making him a frequent target of their ire. Last month, he wrote about an online attack-for-hire service that led to the arrest of its two proprietors. In the aftermath, his website was taken down by a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.\n\nIn many ways, this is nothing new. DDoS attacks are a family of cyberattacks that cause websites and other internet-connected systems to crash by overloading them with traffic. The \"distributed\" aspect means that other insecure computers on the internet—sometimes numbering in the millions—are recruited into a botnet to unwittingly participate in the attack. These tactics are decades old; DDoS attacks are perpetrated by lone hackers seeking to cause annoyance, criminals attempting to extort money, and governments testing their capabilities. Defenses exist, and companies offer DDoS mitigation services for hire.\n\nEssentially, it is a game of size versus size. If attackers can cobble together a data fire hose larger than the defender's capacity to cope with, they win. If defenders can increase their capacity in the face of an attack, they win.\n\nWhat was new about the attack on Krebs was both its massive scale and the particular devices the attackers recruited. Instead of using traditional computers for their botnet, they used CCTV cameras, digital video recorders, home routers, and other embedded computers connected to the internet as part of the Internet of Things (IoT).\n\nMuch has been written about how wildly insecure the IoT is. In fact, the software used to attack Krebs was simple and amateurish. This attack demonstrates that the economics of the IoT mean it will remain insecure unless the government steps in to fix the problem. This is a market failure that cannot be resolved on its own.\n\nOur computers and smartphones are as secure as they are because there are teams of security engineers working on the problem. Companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google spend a lot of time testing their code before release and quickly patch vulnerabilities when they are discovered. These companies can support such teams because they make a huge amount of money, either directly or indirectly, from their software—and, in part, compete on its security. This is not true of embedded systems like digital video recorders or home routers. Those systems are sold at much lower margins and are often built by offshore third parties. The companies involved simply do not have the expertise to make them secure.\n\nEven worse, most of these devices have no way to be patched. Even though the source code to the botnet that attacked Krebs has been made public, we cannot update the affected devices. Microsoft delivers security patches to your computer once a month. Apple does it just as regularly, though not on a fixed schedule. But the only way for you to update the firmware in your home router is to throw it away and buy a new one.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8978, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "91ae379533abe220782a176bc7c76e821778ad60", "raw_chars": 1801, "clean_chars": 1882, "edit_ratio": 0.5824, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Think of it as a breadth-first search for ranking factors.

First, you decide between an SUV or a sedan. Then you choose a brand, followed by a manual or automatic transmission. Next, you might consider the color, and finally, you are down to the interface of the radio. But what if the entire car lot only had red automatic SUVs? In that case, the radio interface would become a lot more important, wouldn't it? Google operates in the same way.\n\nRegarding the second point, we need to stop analyzing every word Matt Cutts says as if it were some lost scripture and start paying attention to the meaning of what he says. In this example, Matt was right. Press releases are not helping your site because your site is likely targeting keywords that already exist on other sites. Since those other sites exist, the press release link factor is so far down the tree of factors that it is probably not being used.\n\nRemember when Matt said that Page Speed was an \"all else being equal, we'll return the faster site\" type of factor? That fits perfectly with the tree and dynamic weights I just discussed.\n\nInstead of looking at the big picture, the meaning, and the reasoning behind what Matt says, we get too caught up in literal definitions.

Bohnett, an openly gay entrepreneur like Goldberg, has been an active venture investor since selling GeoCities to Yahoo in 1999 for $3.6 billion. Yahoo eventually shut down GeoCities a year ago after failing to capitalize on its early lead in providing ordinary web users with an online presence. According to Goldberg, Bohnett became interested in Fabulis after using the site himself.\n\nFabulis is betting heavily on its virtual currency, \"bits,\" as a core part of its business model. The platform is currently running travel-related contests for trips to Fire Island, a popular summer destination outside New York City, and Atlantis Cruises, a gay cruise line.\n\nOriginally, Goldberg thought users would use bits for messaging, setting their own price in bits for access to their inbox. However, he quickly realized this approach was not viable because \"Facebook messaging is free.\" Instead, the platform runs a massive popularity contest where users vote each other up. Bits, which sell for 1,500 per dollar and up, supercharge those votes. Prizes are awarded to participants in specific contests, but users cannot simply buy their way to the top. Instead, they need to make friends who then use their bits to give their votes more weight. Some users are spending hundreds of dollars on bits, according to Goldberg.\n\nFabulis has given away $30,000 in prizes so far, and users' total spending has exceeded that amount. The company also offers bits to users who sign up for marketing offers from advertisers like American Airlines. These dual revenue sources may help distinguish Fabulis from competitors like GayCities, a more established startup that recently relaunched its gay travel directory as a social network and may prove to be Fabulis's most direct competition.\n\n\"If you can get paid on both ends, that's a very good business,\" Goldberg said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 8983, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "40951b67f0f39b272f4e6a5155c4b3492413ae5f", "raw_chars": 3397, "clean_chars": 3397, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Sounds stupid, but get good staff!

That’s out of the question,” Mr. Marceau said. “There has to be a distance between the government and the Caisse that lets the Caisse take its decisions based on business considerations. But at the same time, we can give it certain orientations to favour economic decisions which we think would be completely legitimate.”\n\nHow seriously Premier Jean Charest’s Liberals are taking the threat of a PQ government was made abundantly clear before the campaign started. Raymond Bachand, the finance minister, uncharacteristically waded into the private markets by vowing to use all means necessary to block a takeover by U.S. home improvement retailer Lowe’s Cos. of local champion Rona Inc. Many observers believe Mr. Bachand’s move was pure political strategy — a way for the Liberals to connect with Quebecers who are instinctively nationalist and claim some of that ground as their own.\n\nIt remains to be seen whether the Liberals would maintain that interventionist stance if returned to power. But one thing is certain: Their opponents are even bigger meddlers, vowing to shield Quebec’s corporate jewels like Astral Media Inc. from being bought and the resulting head-office loss than might entail.\n\nThat’s great for all the local suppliers and lawyers and accountants whose livelihood feeds from the money flowing out from corporate Quebec’s headquarters.

What I want is for this to be an instant summon. I want the player to be able to instantly summon a friend or servant. That is the goal.\n\nHere is the trick to this. Once I regard you, I'm putting Suggest as an H-case 2011 action. Spider accrual 4080 XX. Oh, yeah. So here is something I threw about twelve in fighting on Twitter. If you don't follow me on Twitter, oh, and there is a question from Black Ace 13. I actually want to get to that one. Okay, so do two things. I suggest don't weapon fighting that on Twitter. That instead of costing a bonus action, because as I've hammered home many times, if you've watched the stream, the weapon bonus action economy can get kind of messy with two up and fighting. Often, class features require a bonus action to activate. Something that can be defining, like rage, which means a Great Weapon Fighting character might feel bad. I would like you to know how that would work without a bonus action.\n\nSo the idea is if you're fighting in place of an attack you make two attacks, but your damage gets decremented down in a well-elegant, simple way. And the elegant, simple way is what's kind of struggling here, but there are cases where that could probably lead to a lot of attacks. Quick question about the Trident. I've seen a few people ask, 'Well, why is the Trident such a crappy weapon?' The Trident is in the game not because we strive to make the Trident an interesting weapon that sits alongside the spear and the sword. The Trident in the game is something because our aquatic creatures wield it, and it's really a flavor thing. We felt that putting a lot, yeah, I felt, and people seem to agree that if we're gonna show Artus to you again, or Triton, or merfolk who has a trident, but then call it a spear and thus Taplok, that might be a little bit disconnected. So that's all that weapon is. It is literally in the game because we have aquatic creatures that use tridents. We actually didn't want you to make it feel like he was a great weapon that would be a natural thing that would use.\n\nNow you could argue that maybe that wasn't a great case, but like in some ways, the weapon list serves two purposes. It serves characters basically, I like that what weapon I want to use it, and then it also always serves the monsters. So anyway, while that's going on, here's we want favor for at-will summoning. Want clear utility things, have a clear use, have a function beyond combat. The can fight instantly summon a friend or servant. I'm probably gonna say, you know, restrict this to one creature as default. I think a lot of the shenanigans that come in or one like I can get multiple creatures twelve, or is it gonna be a non-creature summoning option? Yeah, I think that's something which would be cool, 'cause essentially these are gonna be constructs. Can be almost anything, and that frees up a lot of design space for us. So you could say, I'm gonna summon a dancing sword. I'm gonna summon a giant, you know, rolling boulder to crash through people and move around.

Well, put a simple restriction, but then we'll lift it for double summons. I think we're going to have to clear that up. My impulse is to say you can't concentrate on the same spell twice because I think that's going to lead to shenanigans. I can probably prove that later if I have time, but you can now. I'm going to put a big note to myself because that's just one of the things that I really thought about. It would be a big mess if we didn't consider it. That's why we work this way to make sure we consider these things. Can't concentrate on the same spell? Question mark. But I think that'd be a very simple thing. You'd feel very great at that fourteenth level. You know, you've got your entire career now. I can summon two guys. Awesome. So then I feel pretty good power-wise. It is actually really good.

The original Nahm has since closed, but proving the star-worthiness of its food, chef David Thompson's second and now only Nahm at Como Metropolitan Bangkok was also awarded one Michelin star.\n\nThai restaurants with Michelin stars are still a bit of a rare breed. Kin Khao in San Francisco comes to mind, as does Kiin Kiin in Copenhagen. Considering the country's tourism board partnership with the Michelin Guide, it is perhaps not surprising that Thai food was well represented, with seven of the total 17 Michelin-starred restaurants serving Thai cuisine.\n\nI am very pleased that Thai cuisine is represented in the guide, because if you talk about flavors, Thai food has flavors, says chef Norbert Kostner, the former executive chef and later culinary director at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok where for nearly 40 years he helped shape the fine dining scene of the Thai capital.\n\nPerfectly timed with the arrival of the Michelin Guide, local food has been a core tourism product identified by the Thai tourist board for 2018. The Michelin Guide will be a boon for the Michelin star and Bib Gourmand winners, especially for Thai restaurants, as it will provide foreign visitors to Thailand with a trusted resource of recommendations, said Thanaruek Eh Laoraowirodge, owner of Supanniga Eating Room. His three branches in Bangkok plus a dinner cruise serve some of his grandmother's traditional Thai recipes. He is also a co-owner of Somtum Der, whose New York outpost was awarded one Michelin star in 2016.\n\nStars on the streets\n\nBangkok street food vendor Jay Fai was awarded one Michelin star. If the Michelin stars are categorized as very good in its category for one star, excellence worthy of a detour for two stars, and exceptionally worth a long journey for three stars, then surely there are plenty of street vendors across the city worthy of a two star rating. Just ask any of the hungry locals who drive across town for their favorite food cart or hole-in-the-wall joint.\n\nA total of 28 street food stalls were included in the Michelin Guide 2018, but only one made it to the Michelin star list: the one-starred Jay Fai. The remaining were listed in the Bib Gourmand list, which included a total of 35 restaurants noted for their good value for money with a quality menu not exceeding 1,000 Thai baht, or about 31 US dollars. This included Guay Tiew Kua Gai Suanmali, Baannai, and Soul Food Mahanakorn.\n\nTaste of success\n\nFor the winners, the Michelin stars may be the start of a bittersweet journey. Earlier in the year, chef André Chiang made headlines when he said he wanted to give back Restaurant André's two Michelin stars in Singapore, following a trickle of chefs over the years who have asked to be dropped out of the guide for reasons ranging from the cost, both creative and financial, to maintain the prestige.

Republican nominee Ed Gillespie is a quintessential establishment Republican whose resume includes chairing the Republican National Committee and serving as a counselor to President George W. Bush. However, he has recast himself in this race as a Trumpian culture warrior, promising to preserve Confederate monuments, sending mailers emblazoned with the message \"You'd never take a knee, so take a stand on Election Day\" alongside an image of a kneeling football player, and warning that his opponent, Democrat Ralph Northam, would \"let dangerous illegal immigrants back on the street\" like members of the Central American gang MS-13.\n\nWhile Gillespie's tactics have drawn criticism from the media, they have also helped him surge in the polls. Starting at a 13-point deficit at the beginning of October, he rose to just 5 points down by the end, according to two polls conducted by the Washington Post-Schar School. Polls released late last week placed the race within the margin of error. While Gillespie has kept Trump at arm's length, Steve Bannon told The New York Times this week that \"I think the big lesson for Tuesday is that, in Gillespie's case, Trumpism without Trump can show the way forward.\"\n\nNortham has responded by trying to win back the white voters Gillespie is riling, focusing on policy or moderating his stance on these cultural issues. In the closing weeks of the campaign, Northam argued he would be tougher on MS-13 than Gillespie and shifted his position on monuments from vowing to take them down to saying he would not \"meddle\" with localities regarding them.\n\nBut as Northam tries to win back white voters, there is increasing evidence that his support among people of color is slipping, or at least is unenthusiastic. A private poll from mid-October by the immigration advocacy group America's Voice found that Northam's support among Black and Latino voters was lower than expected, according to a report by the Washington Post.\n\nThe Latino Victory Fund (LVF), a progressive political action committee focused on the Latino community, saw that poll and took the culture war into their own hands. The group produced an ad called \"American Nightmare,\" which shows a white man in a pickup truck with a Gillespie bumper sticker and a Confederate flag chasing down children of color. \"In the past, immigrants have been scapegoats in political attack ads, and now we are pushing back hard,\" said Cristóbal Alex, the group's president. \"We are portraying the true-life anxiety of immigrants and Latinos and their families.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9008, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "4a1b127da783cd4e2e0907b64189bb35abad568f", "raw_chars": 2369, "clean_chars": 2322, "edit_ratio": 0.0104, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Public opinion turned against Mr. Hatoyama’s handling of Japan’s crucial relationship with Washington. His government’s approval ratings plummeted from more than 70 percent in September to the high teens in recent weeks.\n\nIn the end, the lack of support, and what Mr. Hatoyama called his belated recognition of the importance of the Marines as a deterrent, forced him to accept most of the 2006 agreement. He resigned a week later, as he appeared to be a heavy liability for the Democrats facing parliamentary elections on July 11.\n\nAnalysts say that the public did not reject all aspects of Mr. Hatoyama’s agenda. His calls for building a more equal relationship with the United States resonated in Japan, which has grown weary of its junior status in the alliance.\n\n“Hatoyama tapped into the feeling of many Japanese that it is time to rethink their nation’s place in a changing world,” said Takashi Kawakami, a professor who specializes in security issues at Takushoku University in Tokyo. “But wanting to be treated as an equal by Washington is not the same as wanting to be independent of Washington.”\n\nA curious aspect to Mr. Hatoyama’s fall is that for decades the United States has sought to loosen the Liberal Democratic Party’s hold on the country. But the two governments that succeeded in doing so — one in 1993-94, and the current one — simply could not pull the levers of power, leaving American officials deeply frustrated.\n\nOnce a new leader is in place, “I do think there will be a desire to exhibit a different kind of management from the outset,” said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.\n\nAnalysts said there were lessons in Mr. Hatoyama’s fall for the Obama administration. Sheila A. Smith, a senior fellow for Japan studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, said American officials did not initially show enough patience with the new government. “There was responsibility on both sides,” she said.\n\nOne immediate upshot of Mr. Hatoyama’s failure will most likely be that his successor will avoid making big changes in foreign policy, in favor of focusing on domestic issues.\n\n“Hatoyama self-destructed on Futenma,” said Mr. Kawakami of Takushoku University. “His successor is not going to want to touch that issue.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9021, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "b622108cfdbe6ee50bc01a5a8edc5651b712a690", "raw_chars": 648, "clean_chars": 656, "edit_ratio": 0.2101, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) also urged the Federal Trade Commission under the next administration to prohibit the practice of \"conversion therapy\" as fraudulent and take action against individuals and organizations that offer it.

Currently, offshore wind farms in other parts of the world are connected individually to onshore grids. \"The goal is to even out the peaks and valleys in production,\" said Dvorak. \"In our model, expensive no-power events—moments when individual wind farms are producing zero electricity—were reduced by more than half, from nine percent to four percent, by connecting the farms together.\"\n\nIn the final analysis, the interconnected grid was able to yield a year-long capacity factor of over 48 percent. This means the grid could reliably produce close to 1,000 megawatts on average over the course of a year. \"Generally, with wind farms, anything over 35 percent average capacity is considered excellent,\" Jacobson noted.\n\nLocation is critical.

The fourth recommended site is off central Long Island.\n\nThe researchers also examined the economics of installing their offshore grid, noting that it would have the advantage of sharing costs across several states, potentially increasing political support for the plan. \"This paper should be seen as a tool for energy planners to better inform their renewable energy decisions across a densely populated area,\" Jacobson said. \"It is an opportunity to collaborate on a shared system that reduces costs while benefiting a large and important center of electrical demand in the U.S.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9030, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "6e057e744e8458ef053415ca47ba70bf6e984b08", "raw_chars": 829, "clean_chars": 852, "edit_ratio": 0.1898, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Seattle-Portland rivalry might be the most coveted in American soccer, but this week demonstrated that two Midwestern clubs could have just as much fun.

After Trump became U.S. president, some investors indicated they would be prepared to contemplate new deals with Russian firms if they saw signs that U.S.-Russian ties were improving and U.S. restrictions on business with Russia were being relaxed.\n\nHowever, the new sanctions, signed into law by Trump on August 2, add new measures and codify six orders previously signed by President Barack Obama, making them harder for Trump to revoke. For the business community in Moscow, the message is clear: there is no immediate prospect of Washington softening its stance towards Moscow. \"Russia faces the codification of sanctions which suggests they will be hellishly difficult to take off and are likely to remain in place for the very long term,\" said Tim Ash, a strategist at BlueBay Asset Management in London. \"The mere fact that the U.S. and Western governments ... saw fit to levy sanctions on Russia sends at the least an amber light to Western business - 'be careful in your dealings with Russia.'\"\n\nThe United States initially imposed financial and travel restrictions on Russia in 2014, after Russia annexed the Crimea region from Ukraine following the fall of a pro-Moscow president in Kyiv. The latest measures allow Congress to block any effort by the president to ease or lift the existing sanctions, tighten some of those sanctions, and impose new restrictions in certain sectors.\n\nExecutives in Russian banks and energy companies, the main targets of the U.S. sanctions, told Reuters their compliance departments were still going through the fine print of the new law to understand the practical impact. Already clear, though, was the message about the duration of the sanctions. \"This is obviously for a long time,\" said a source in a major Russian oil company, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media.\n\nMoody's rating agency said in a note to clients that the new sanctions on Russia \"are likely to further deter investment there.\" The sanctions in place since 2014 directly restrict a narrow range of business dealings. Their biggest effect, according to investment bankers and corporate lawyers in Moscow, is that they create the risk of more sanctions being added. Under that scenario, a deal signed outside the scope of the sanctions could quickly fall under sanctions. If that happened, investors would be likely to lose money and few want to take that risk. On the other hand, if investors believe the sanctions will not be expanded, they can conclude deals with some confidence, even while existing measures remain in place.\n\nTrump's election triumph last November led many in the Russian business community to believe that the worst of the sanctions was over. It was at this time that a long-planned deal to privatize a stake in Sovcomflot, a state-owned shipping company with a fleet of modern vessels and lucrative energy sector contracts, was put back on the government's agenda. The fate of the partial privatization since then reflects the importance of the new sanctions to investor sentiment.

After Clarke navigated significant challenges with his wife, Jessica, and their young family, everyone was fortunate to witness his first National Hockey League goal since April 19, 2015. Sitting alongside the families of Dion Phaneuf and Cody Ceci, the MacArthurs joined in an exchange of high-fives after Clarke scored the Senators’ first goal in a game they would eventually win 4-3 in overtime.\n\n“That was a great goal. We were very excited,” Dean MacArthur said Saturday night before he and Deb began their drive back to Lloydminster on Sunday. “We were holding back tears for sure. We were just happy. He told Deb and me the other day, ‘I need to see if I can score now.’”\n\nThe past two years have not been easy for the MacArthurs. Clarke worked hard throughout the summer to return to play, but he suffered another concussion during training camp. After failing a baseline test in January, it was decided that he would not play for the remainder of the season.\n\n“It’s a big relief for Deb and me to see Clarke playing,” Dean MacArthur added. “He’s always been a battler, and he has always wanted to play this game for as long as he could. There have been ups and downs over the last 18 months, but when he failed his baseline test in January, he was devastated. He said, ‘Maybe I can’t get back.’ I told him, ‘You know what? Let’s just take a break here and think about things.’ Then his health started to improve. When he wanted to play before the end of the year, I told him, ‘You’re a battler, and it would be really great if you could play, but it will be a big disappointment if you can’t.’ That was the risk he wanted to take. If you don’t take risks in this world, you’ll never find out where you stand.”\n\nClarke MacArthur could have walked away after doctors told him in January that he would not play that season. Nobody would have faulted him if he had chosen retirement as his best option.\n\n“He was always a very skilled guy with a lot of heart and passion for this game,” Dean MacArthur said. “If you don’t have those two things—passion and drive—you’ll never make it. It doesn’t matter how good you are. There are plenty of guys with better skills than him who were first-round picks but didn’t finish the journey because they lacked that real passion for the game. If you’re not willing to give up everything to play, take some risks, and take some chances, you’ll never accomplish what you want. You’ll get sidetracked.

This Mar-a-Lago income figure was $7.4 million higher than on his previous financial disclosure filing in May 2016.\n\nTrump reported $19.7 million in income through mid-April at his luxury Washington hotel, which has been a focal point for concerns about conflicts of interest due to the possibility that foreign governments might curry favor with the president by booking rooms there. The hotel opened in September.\n\nThe president reported up to $7 million in book royalties, including between $1 million and $5 million from his book \"Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America.\" He reported nearly $11 million from the Miss Universe pageant and an $84,000 pension from the Screen Actors Guild.\n\nAll told, Trump brought in approximately $600 million to $650 million in employment assets and income, or possibly more. The documents make it impossible to calculate precise totals because officeholders are allowed to disclose figures in ranges, some of which are open-ended. For example, his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, is listed as having a value of over $50 million.\n\nTrump has stated that he sold all his stock holdings in June 2016 to avoid conflicts of interest. He later explained that he did so because it was improper to own stocks \"when I'm making deals for this country that maybe will affect one company positively and one company negatively.\"\n\nThe form released on Friday appeared to confirm that he had sold those stock holdings. It did include income from capital gains and dividends, presumably from before the stock sales.\n\nThe document makes reference to a sizable loan, between $5 million and $25 million, from UBS Real Estate Investments. The loan carried an interest rate of 6.18%. Trump refinanced it with Ladder Capital at a much lower rate of 4.05%.\n\nOverall, Trump reported liabilities of at least $311 million in mortgages and loans. However, the number could be much higher because he was required only to report a range in value for each loan. Of the 16 loans he reported, five were worth more than $50 million each; one was worth between $25 million and $50 million; and seven were worth between $5 million and $25 million apiece. Another three loans combined were worth less than $1 million.\n\nThe form reflects the president's investments, other assets, income, retirement accounts, and other holdings. It is different from a federal tax return, which Trump has refused to make public and which would reveal much more about his business and financial dealings, including foreign business ties, both direct and indirect.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9058, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d64164331e89270dc5ef3ffc85c9fafa46a27f4c", "raw_chars": 801, "clean_chars": 790, "edit_ratio": 0.0094, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Soviet Union spent millions planting its icons in the West.

Amid so much debate about whether he or Isco would start for Real Madrid in their Champions League final against Juventus in Cardiff, the 27-year-old took matters into his own hands by explaining how bad his ankle still was.\n\n\"I am not 100 per cent. I haven't played for six or seven weeks. I obviously had my operation which still really hasn't recovered,\" Bale said on Real's pre-final media day. \"If I'm called upon to start, I will start obviously. But to last 90 minutes? I haven't played a lot of football this year since my operation, so that would be difficult. Isco has been playing fantastically well for us at the end of the season, so whatever the manager decides, I will accept it.\"\n\nGiven those comments and how he went on to speak about the pain he has been suffering, the decision is surely to start Bale on the bench in his home country? It could have been a lot more complicated for Zidane this week, even if it could still leave a few complications in the summer.\n\nThe major issue beyond Saturday's showpiece at the Principality Stadium is that Bale remains president Florentino Perez's major modern signing, and one of his favoured players. The Bernabeu supremo likes seeing him on the pitch, and enjoys the devastatingly pure pace and power to his game. Perez feels that Bale embodies the kind of individual brilliance that Real's history has been built on, but that isn't necessarily the individual brilliance that the current team's run to the final has been built on.\n\nThere is little doubt Isco's more poised game has given Real much more of a balance, and just made all those individual parts fit so much better. A team that had constantly been so unconvincing despite its quality all of a sudden looked so complete, especially in the last two Champions League ties against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. It gave Zidane a huge dilemma ahead of the last and biggest game of the season, and one that many around the Bernabeu believed could define him as a manager.\n\nWould he do what was evidently best for the team and pick Isco, or do what felt implicitly political and pick Bale, especially given all the drama and symbolism of this match being played in Wales? This is how it was meant to be, after all: the record signing going back home to emphasise how the Bernabeu is the European Cup's home, by helping them become the first club to retain it in the modern Champions League era.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9059, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "75b7295e04ea0157abda721524280d2ed9cb6728", "raw_chars": 3484, "clean_chars": 3447, "edit_ratio": 0.7683, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To complicate matters further, we must recognize that physical dependence also poses a physical threat to the mother's life. The World Health Organization reports that nearly 670,000 women die from pregnancy-related complications each year, a figure that excludes deaths from abortions. This equates to approximately 1,800 women per day. Furthermore, in developed countries such as the United States and Canada, a woman is 13 times more likely to die from bringing a pregnancy to term than from having an abortion.\n\nTherefore, pregnancy is not merely the prospect of a potential person being physically dependent on one woman's body; it also involves the woman placing herself in a life-threatening situation for that potential person.\n\nUnlike social dependence, where a mother can choose to place her child for adoption, make the child a ward of the state, or hire someone else to care for it, a fetus during pregnancy is absolutely physically dependent on the body of one woman. In cases of social dependence, a woman's physical life is not threatened by the existence of another person. However, during pregnancy, a woman exposes herself to bodily harm and even the threat of death for the benefit of a DNA-based life form that is only a potential person.\n\nThis leads to the next question: do the rights of a potential person supersede the rights of the mother to control her body and protect herself from potential life-threatening danger?\n\nDoes a potential person have human rights? The answer is both yes and no. A potential person should be granted full human rights unless its existence interferes with the rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness of an already existing conscious human being. Consequently, a gestating fetus has no rights before birth but full rights after birth.\n\nIf a fetus comes to term and is born, it is because the mother chooses to forgo her own rights and bodily security to allow that future person to gestate within her. If the mother chooses to exercise control over her own body and protect herself from the potential dangers of childbearing, she has the full right to terminate the pregnancy.\n\nAnti-abortion activists often claim that \"the only difference between a fetus and a baby is a trip down the birth canal.\" While this phrase may serve as catchy rhetoric, it ignores the fact that location indeed makes all the difference.\n\nThe situation is actually quite simple: you cannot have two entities with equal rights occupying one body. One will automatically have veto power over the other, meaning they do not have equal rights. In the case of a pregnant woman, granting a \"right to life\" to the potential person in the womb automatically cancels out the mother's right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.\n\nAfter birth, however, the potential person no longer occupies the same body as the mother. Therefore, granting it full human rights causes no interference with another's right to control her body. Even though a full-term human baby may not yet be considered a person, after birth it enjoys the full support of the law in protecting its rights. Its independence demands that it be protected as if it were equal to a fully conscious human being. But before birth, its lack of personhood and the threat it poses to the woman in which it resides make abortion a completely logical and moral choice.\n\nThis brings us to our final question, which is the real crux of the issue...", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9066, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "323cfee52ca5634c64713ce7c579d0783ed83cad", "raw_chars": 2217, "clean_chars": 2121, "edit_ratio": 0.5228, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Let's start with the heavy package from Amazon: a mighty eleven pounds.

Relatives reported that he was killed because he refused to join a gang. Unlike most local tragedies, however, this case caught the attention of conservative activist Ben Shapiro, an editor for Breitbart News. Using the hashtag #justicefordarryl, Shapiro tweeted and publicized the details of Green’s murder. But this was not a call for help or assistance for Green’s family; rather, it was his response to the widespread outrage over the Saturday decision in the case of George Zimmerman. A Florida jury had found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter in the killing of Trayvon Martin.\n\nShapiro, echoing many other conservatives, was angry over the perceived politicization of the Zimmerman trial. He believed that activists had injected race into the discussion, as if there were nothing racial already within the criminal justice system. Indeed, he echoed many conservatives when he complained that media attention had everything to do with Zimmerman’s race. The argument went that if Zimmerman had been black, no one would have cared. Shapiro found the sad story of Darryl Green and promoted it as an example of black-on-black crime, which he believed went ignored. As he tweeted, \"49% of murder victims are black men. 93% of those are killed by other blacks. Media don't care. Obama doesn't care. #JusticeForDarryl.\"\n\nThe idea that black-on-black crime is the real story in Martin’s killing is not a novel one. In addition to Shapiro, you will hear this argument from conservative African-American activists like Crystal White, as well as people outside the media, such as Zimmerman’s defense attorney Mark O’Mara, who said that his client never would have been charged with a crime if he were black.\n\nIt is worth noting that Zimmerman was not initially charged with a crime. It took six weeks of protest and pressure for Sanford police to revisit the killing and bring charges against him. Indeed, in the beginning, Martin’s cause had less to do with the identity of the shooter and everything to do with the appalling disinterest of the local police department.\n\nBut there is a huge problem with the attempt to shift the conversation: There is no such thing as black-on-black crime. Yes, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders, but that racial exclusivity was also true for white victims of violent crime—86 percent were killed by white offenders. Indeed, for the large majority of crimes, victims and offenders share a racial identity or have some prior relationship to each other.\n\nWhat Shapiro and others miss about crime, in general, is that it is driven by opportunism and proximity. If African-Americans are more likely to be robbed, injured, or killed by other African-Americans, it is because they tend to live in the same neighborhoods as each other. Residential statistics bear this out; blacks are still more likely to live near each other or other minority groups than whites are. And of course, the reverse holds as well—whites are much more likely to live near other whites than they are to minorities and African-Americans in particular.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9068, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5267abe7813120b3a171138aedcfbb22d754a961", "raw_chars": 3461, "clean_chars": 3462, "edit_ratio": 0.0111, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton’s support tipped the scales that led to the Obama administration’s Libyan intervention, resulting in the death of Muammar Gaddafi in his hometown during the Battle of Sirte in 2011. Almost five years later, the race for the American presidency is full-throated, foreign policy is among the top issues, Clinton is a leading candidate, and Libya remains in ashes.\n\nThe Islamic State has now risen from those ashes to make Gaddafi’s urban coffin, Sirte, its de facto stronghold. The country further stands divided between three competing governments. In the east, the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR) governs with the aid of the Libyan army. In the west, the Islamist General National Congress (GNC) reigns. In an effort to bridge the gap between the two factions, the United Nations has backed the Government of National Accord (GNA), which currently operates out of a naval base in Tripoli.\n\nObama was hesitant to get the U.S. involved in Libya’s 2011 uprising. Bracketing his apprehension was the concurrent U.S. draw-down in Iraq, an Obama mandate. Early on, it was clear the U.K. and France were pushing to get involved in Libya, along with several junior aides in the Obama administration who argued the president needed to be “on the right side of history.” Senior leaders like Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and others vehemently disagreed. Clinton, possibly in an attempt to secure her legacy, eventually pushed for the intervention, arguing that the U.S. “will be left behind” if not involved. By mid-March 2011, the U.S. and its NATO partners were striking key Gaddafi targets via Operation Odyssey Dawn.\n\nClinton had convinced Obama, albeit marginally.\n\nGovernance of Libya since Gaddafi’s death has been tumultuous. Initially, the National Transitional Council (NTC), the primary Libyan resistance group, took power with international backing. By January 2012, resentment among certain Libyan militia groups toward the NTC led to clashes. Throughout 2012, the NTC slowly lost control of significant portions of Libya. The NTC held elections in July, which led to the election and eventual creation of the Islamist General National Congress (GNC).\n\nDisaster struck again barely a month after the GNC formed. Members from the terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia stormed a U.S. consulate in the city of Benghazi, brutally murdering Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former U.S. Navy SEALs. What followed was a failed Obama administration cover-up claiming the attack was the result of an anti-Islamic video posted to the internet. The congressional investigation into the totality of Clinton’s involvement in the Benghazi cover-up continues today.\n\nLibya shuffled through a series of Prime Ministers through the GNC until May 2014, when Khalifa Haftar, a general in the Libyan National Army, went rogue after frustration with the GNC leadership’s unwillingness to counter various Islamic terror groups that had sprung up across Libya. Haftar took it upon himself to launch Operation Dignity in an effort to counter Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi. However, within two days, forces loyal to his cause attacked the Libyan parliament building that same month, demanding a new constitution.\n\nIn turn, the Islamist factions in Libya created their own pseudo-military operation and coalition known as Operation Dawn in July 2014.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9075, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "46ae0cd48570d16cddaffc552cdf48ed56a825da", "raw_chars": 3493, "clean_chars": 3687, "edit_ratio": 0.7607, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is an impressive achievement for a 32-year-old with a history of serious injuries, especially considering he joined his current club on a free transfer at the start of the season. While this statistic may not be as visually striking as goals scored or assists, it remains a crucial metric used by clubs to evaluate player effectiveness. Some managers, such as Sam Allardyce, consider it one of the most significant indicators in a match. Allardyce is convinced that the team reaching 1,000 metres of collective sprinting distance first is likely to win the game.\n\nThe precise details of Bellamy's record, compiled using the ProZone system, have not been disclosed by Liverpool. However, he achieved this feat during the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final at Anfield against his former club, Manchester City, on January 25. He played for 88 minutes, scored a goal, and was widely regarded as his team's standout performer. It is believed that Bellamy covered more than 840 metres of sprinting distance during that match.\n\nTo put this performance into perspective, the Premier League average for sprinting distance was 324 metres. For comparison, Tottenham's Gareth Bale achieved a remarkable 719 metres in a famous Champions League match against Inter Milan in 2010, a performance often associated with his rapid runs down the wing. A sprint is typically defined as a run at a speed exceeding seven metres per second, which is equivalent to running 100 metres in 14 seconds.\n\nBellamy's impact this season at Liverpool has been so significant that he is on track to record the highest number of sprinting metres by a player in a single Premier League season. He is outpacing other notably quick players like Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott, who is considered the Premier League's fastest player. Liverpool view Bellamy's signing from Manchester City as perhaps the transfer coup of the season, and it certainly appears to be a shrewd move.\n\nWhat is undeniable is the hard work Bellamy has put in to extend a career that seemed at risk of ending in frustration and injury during his time at West Ham and Manchester City. He has fully embraced modern sports science, an approach that more and more clubs are adopting. Bellamy is a strong advocate of the \"periodisation\" method, where training is individually tailored to each player. He has previously worked with the Dutch fitness coach Raymond Verheijen, whom he first met during his time at Manchester City.\n\nBellamy also has a state-of-the-art altitude chamber installed in his bedroom to aid post-match recovery. He employs a personal chef to prepare his meals and has worked closely with sports psychologist Steve Peters, who is well-known for his work with British cycling and cyclist Mark Cavendish. Bellamy even surprised his former Manchester City teammate Nigel de Jong when the Dutch midfielder entered the Liverpool dressing room after the Carling Cup match to find the striker happily sitting in an ice bath, celebrating.\n\nBellamy cannot play every game, as his career requires careful management. However, as he has demonstrated, he can still make a significant impact.\n\nMeanwhile, there are rumours of a Canadian heading to the Premier League. Who is Mitchell Goldhar? He is a thin, bespectacled billionaire best known as a retail developer, responsible for constructing numerous shopping centres that typically feature Wal-Mart as an anchor tenant.

Next, the cards reached a magnetic write/read encoding station. The IBM 360 computer sent data to be encoded on the magnetic stripe using the IBM Delta Distance C Optical Bar Code format. As the card passed under the read head, the encoded data was sent back to the IBM 360 for verification.\n\nFollowing encoding, the cards moved to an embossing station. IRD engineers had purchased and modified a Data Card Corp embossing machine, interfacing it with the IBM 360 computer to emboss the cards. Although the original design concept called for an Addressograph-Multigraph embossing machine, the engineers quickly switched to the Data Card Corp model. Data Card Corp, a Minneapolis/St. Paul company, had just developed the first electronically controlled embossing machine for plastic cards, effectively obsoleting all other mechanically operated embossers.\n\nThe process continued with a topping station to highlight the embossing, followed by an imprinter station that transferred the embossing onto an automatically fed paper roll. An optical reader station then read the embossed information off the paper roll and fed it back to the IBM 360 computer for verification. A one-card rejection station ensured quality control: if either the encoding or embossing data was not verified by the computer, the card was rejected. If both the encoded and embossed data were confirmed, the card proceeded down the line.\n\nNext, a mailer station printed a mailer containing the cardholder's name and address, along with the date and other relevant card information. These mailers were preprinted and die-cut by IRD according to customer specifications and logo requirements, then fed into the line from boxes using a continuous fan feed method. At the card insertion station, the card was automatically inserted onto the mailer. The assembly then moved to a bursting and folding station, where the mailers were burst apart and folded into a three-fold packet that fit into a business-size envelope.\n\nFinally, an envelope printer/insertion station printed the customer's name and address on an envelope, automatically inserted the mailer containing the card, and sealed it. This completed the manufacturing line for the magnetic stripe-encoded and embossed plastic credit and badge access cards. The envelopes were then taken to be posted and mailed directly to the customers of the companies that had ordered the cards from IRD.\n\nThe accomplishments of this small engineering group at IBM IRD and the IBM Bar Code development group in Raleigh in developing the first magnetic stripe credit and ID cards cannot be overstated. They laid the foundation for the entire magnetic stripe card industry that we know and use today, including credit cards, ATM cards, ID cards, hotel room and access cards, transportation tickets, and all the terminals and card readers that read the cards and enter the data into computers.

She shaped how women viewed what it was to be a woman in power, from the way people articulated themselves to the way people dressed.\n\n\"She shattered the glass ceiling into tiny splinters and just by having a woman in power, little girls knew they could do it – even if it’s not the power you would have wanted.\"\n\nBarnett stressed that impact did not always have a positive meaning and pointed out that even for those who viscerally dislike the late Conservative politician, she politically galvanised a new generation of women in opposition to her.\n\n\"It would be easy to put seven really worthy women who make you feel warm and gooey inside on this list, but that isn't what impact means,\" said Barnett. \"Thatcher spawned a whole other generation of feminists in complete opposition to her and so in some ways her impact was to provoke huge change from the left and beyond.\"\n\nHazarika said that she had \"lost the argument about Thatcher\" but conceded: \"Whether you loved her or loathed her, hers was a very significant achievement. Thatcher shaped a generation and shaped a period in British history.\n\n\"I think she had a massively negative impact on society and on women but she was important because she showed that just because you [have] a woman in Downing Street does not mean you have a feminist prime minister or a feminist government.\"\n\nThe list of seven spans a broad spectrum of women, dead and alive. And not all are household names. Second on the list is Helen Brooks, who set up contraceptive services for women in the UK and – in the words of Barnett – \"gave women the key to controlling their own bodies\".\n\n\"She changed the lives of unmarried single women. When I went to get the pill for the first time, I didn't know Helen Brooks' name and I feel like I should have,\" added Barnett.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9095, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9fbc68c4bd0757ddd8a15d6941a399db6c34c30d", "raw_chars": 2760, "clean_chars": 2776, "edit_ratio": 0.0155, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "MUMBAI (Reuters) - An Indian franchise operator of McDonald's Corp may increase prices for the second time this year, responding to rising inflation which, along with an economic slowdown, it expects to temper demand growth for at least the next seven months.\n\nThe company, Hardcastle Restaurants, said on Tuesday it could raise prices by 5 to 6 percent.

It has become India's largest fast food chain operator selling chicken and fish burgers along with vegetarian items like McAloo Tikki, which has a potato patty, and the McSpicy Paneer, filled with cottage cheese.\n\nThe burger chain plans capital spending of 5 billion to 10 billion rupees ($92 million to $184 million) in India over the next three to five years, mostly for store expansion, Jatia said, adding India's long-term consumption growth story remained intact.\n\nMcDonald's has 309 stores in the country.\n\nThe company plans to add 80 to 90 restaurants in western and southern India in the next two years.\n\nHardcastle is also contemplating an equity fund raising to fuel McDonald's expansion in the country in the coming years.\n\n\"We are in talks with merchant bankers every day and are open to it.

You learn a great deal by working on packages, and each one needs to be carefully crafted. Laravel itself places a strong emphasis on developer happiness, providing a clear and understandable syntax. I want our packages to be just as easy to use. Thinking about how other people will use your code makes you a better developer. We also learn a lot from the issues reported and the pull requests submitted by users of our packages.\n\nA second benefit is that sometimes, as a package gains traction, you get quality code for free. Our laravel-fractal package is a developer-friendly wrapper around The League’s Fractal package. I coded the basic functionality I needed myself and tagged it as version 1.0.0. In the following weeks, I received pull requests almost daily, adding another great feature to the package. Now it supports almost everything League’s Fractal can do. I think 90% of the code in that package was written by the community.\n\nAnother benefit is commercial. When looking at our code, I hope you’ll conclude that we know our way around PHP and Laravel. Recently, we’ve landed some projects because of our open source work. In most cases, users of our packages were telling their bosses to hire us for Laravel-specific projects.\n\nLast but not least, we’re also dogfooding ourselves. Our own packages are used on most projects. If we discover a bug in a package used in a project, we can very quickly fix it and distribute that fix through Composer to our other projects. The only package that didn’t get used in any of our own projects is laravel-permission. That one was coded up just for fun.\n\nWhy we require the latest version of PHP\n\nBefore PHP 7 was released at the end of last year, we picked the oldest still-supported PHP version as the minimum requirement for a newly created package. When PHP 7 was released, we changed our policy. Every new package now requires PHP 7.\n\nThe most asked question in the issue trackers of our packages is, \"Why can't you support PHP 5.6?\" I'd like to give some background on our stance.\n\nWe create these packages primarily for our own future projects. The fact that they become popular is just a nice side effect. At our company, PHP 5 is dead. So it makes zero sense to make our packages PHP 5 compatible. The latest new features, such as scalar type hints, return types, anonymous classes, and the null coalescing operator, can help create elegant code.\n\nI'm well aware that requiring PHP 7 will hurt the popularity of our packages in the short run. But, as mentioned, popularity is not our main goal. People who are using the latest and greatest version of PHP can benefit from our work. And I hope others will be nudged a bit towards PHP 7 by our decision. When PHP 7.1 is released, we'll probably set that as our minimum required version. I can't wait to use that fancy iterable type hint.\n\nTop 10 of most popular packages\n\nWhen taking the amount of downloads into consideration, these are our 10 most popular packages:\n\nAs mentioned in the intro, some of these packages, like string and db-dumper, probably get a big download boost because they are required by other packages.\n\nNot so popular packages", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9106, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5594fdabb4d2fd92f3df15b419ac4c20bbe80fe7", "raw_chars": 1996, "clean_chars": 2008, "edit_ratio": 0.5509, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The German domestic intelligence service reported on Friday that Iran attempted to acquire technology that could be used for its military nuclear program, in violation of its global nuclear agreement.

State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters, \"We have no information to indicate that Iran has procured any materials in violation of the [nuclear agreement].\" Kirby added that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) found Iran to be fulfilling all of its duties and obligations under the agreement, an assessment the German government also shares.\n\n\"We understand that Germany shares this view and is not suggesting that Iran has violated its JCPOA commitments,\" Kirby said. \"We have no indication that they are violating the deal, and the deal has never been about trust, it's never been about spirit, it's never been about how we feel about Iran.

Your muscles gradually become useless, and they waste away from not being used.\n\nThe simplest of tasks become uphill struggles. Then, they become Everests. Before long, they are impossible. Walking, talking, eating, breathing — indeed, any kind of motion except for moving your eyes eventually becomes a superpower you once had and now crave with all your heart.\n\nAt the same time, your intellect is completely unaffected. Also unaffected is your ability to feel discomfort and pain. Seconds feel like eternities.

Tomorrow, you will have to use nothing but your eyes to tell your caregivers what you want them to do for you.\n\nThe worst thing about ALS, apart from the complete and utter helplessness and hopelessness — there is no cure and precious little treatment — is the fact that few people even knew about it until the Ice Bucket Challenge went viral.\n\nMany doctors are still grossly ill-informed.\n\nAnother horror of ALS, apart from the creeping paralysis, is the lack of understanding and compassion that typically go with it.\n\nIgnorance is hell", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9121, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "120d26e6783ac25e96fc8abe7d36b4da9e9a22a0", "raw_chars": 1848, "clean_chars": 1957, "edit_ratio": 0.4928, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Financial capital's profits increasingly stem from sources other than loans to productive capital.

If you have, it’s time to stop and adopt a new mindset. They’re a highly educated, innovative force that has swept through the workplace and now influences every level of their organizations. If you’re not actively recruiting, developing, and working to retain Gen Y professionals, you’re losing your competitive edge.\n\nBusinessweek’s Matthew Philips recently reported, “According to U.S. Census data, there are more people in their twenties (44.5 million) than in their thirties (41 million), forties (41.7 million), or fifties (43.8 million).” These professionals are very much a part of your firm’s present – and future.\n\nWhat steps can you take to groom Millennials into your next generation of leaders?\n\nManaging Millennials\n\nStart by learning what makes them tick. For most Millennials, their core desires are like those of every other generational group – a job that they enjoy and is a source of pride, a manager they respect and can learn from, fair compensation, and the ability to balance their professional and personal lives.\n\nAt the same time, there are unique attributes common among members of this generation. For one, they frequently crave feedback. You can tap into this need and foster passion and commitment from these employees by helping them answer:\n\nWhere am I going in my career? What’s important to my company? How does my role help the company reach its objectives? How can my company and my manager help me reach my goals?\n\nOngoing communication is key. Be positive, but also genuine, providing constructive criticism as needed. Don’t wait for formal performance review periods, however. Provide your feedback in real time.\n\nKeep in mind that communication flow should be two-way. Millennials want to level the hierarchy and have a voice. Work together to target initiatives these employees feel are a fit for their skills and goals, and, when possible, assign them to leadership positions on project teams. Similarly, collaborate on identifying educational opportunities that can help them build their expertise and learn from different perspectives.\n\nCritically, make sure your technology and financial systems are up to date. The ability to work with the latest tech tools can help influence Gen Y accounting and finance professionals when deciding whether to join and stay with your organization. If you don’t continuously upgrade your systems, you risk experiencing a talent outflow instead of an inflow. Remember, this generation grew up with computer technology and is deeply ingrained with social media. Millennials understand the power of technology and recognize if you’re not current, you’re behind.\n\nGrooming Gen Y Leaders\n\nGive potential leaders you identify not just the chance to lead a project team but also the opportunity to manage key initiatives. This should go beyond just overseeing the day-to-day aspects of a project and also include setting strategy and making decisions.\n\nFortunately for businesses, a strong desire for continuous learning is another defining characteristic of this demographic. Provide formal and informal training opportunities, focusing on the technical skills Millennials need to advance along with key nontechnical attributes, particularly leadership and communication.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9141, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "0f0f9e3263e8576ca5653191fb722f57d71ba0c8", "raw_chars": 3105, "clean_chars": 3103, "edit_ratio": 0.1369, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Journal checksums are another feature arriving for version 2.6.25. If the system crashes, the journal is used to recover any transactions that were committed but did not actually make it to disk. It is important to know that the journal, as stored in the filesystem, is intact before using it to make changes elsewhere. The checksum enables the filesystem to ensure that the journal is good and avoid further corrupting the filesystem if it is not. An interesting side benefit is that the checksum loosens the constraints on how the journal is written to disk, since an incompletely written journal will now be detected; that should help to improve filesystem performance slightly.\n\nNote that full data checksumming is still not on the agenda for ext4. But checksumming the journal is a good, albeit small, step in the right direction.\n\nAnother change is a VFS API modification, which turns the i_version field of the inode structure into an unsigned, 64-bit value on all architectures. This version number is incremented when the file is changed, and it is stored (split into two fields) in the on-disk inode. 64-bit version numbers are required by NFSv4, which uses them to provide the dreaded \"stale file handle\" error when things change.\n\nThere is a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE, which can be used to explicitly request that the on-disk inode for a file be converted to the ext4 format.\n\nThe ext4 filesystem is extent-based, and has been for some time. \"Extent-based\" means that it tracks block allocations by extents (first block, number of blocks) rather than storing pointers to each individual block, as is done in ext3. There are a number of performance benefits to doing things this way, especially for larger files. Those benefits disappear, though, if a file's blocks cannot be grouped into the smallest number of extents possible.\n\nOne technique which greatly helps in optimizing block allocations for files is to allocate them in relatively large groups, rather than individually. In 2.6.25, ext4 will contain the multi-block allocator, which does exactly that. One might think that allocating a few blocks at a time would not be that big of a change, but the multi-block allocator is by far the most complex patch in the set. A lot of effort and heuristics go into deciding how many blocks to allocate, finding the optimal set of blocks, tracking the allocation, recovering blocks which end up never being used, ensuring that an application cannot read pre-allocated (but unwritten) blocks in search of leaked secrets, and so on. It is quite a bit of code, but it is worth the trouble; multi-block allocation will be enabled by default in 2.6.25.\n\nAs noted above, a number of these patches force changes to the on-disk data structure.

The source objected to Western concerns that the defensive weapons system might fall into the hands of terrorist groups, stating that Moscow has fulfilled its obligations under the five-year-old agreement.\n\n\"The Yakhont supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles have been supplied as part of the Bastion mobile coastal missile systems,\" the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Interfax. However, the delivery of the weapons systems is only the first step. \"More time is needed to complete the training of Syrian personnel,\" the source added, noting that the missile system will \"enable Syria to protect its entire coast from a possible seaborne attack.\"\n\nDamascus is expected to receive at least two Bastion systems, each equipped with 36 Yakhont missiles. Unofficial estimates place the contract's value at $300 million.\n\nThe announcement coincides with a Russian naval group, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, en route to the Syrian port of Tartus. Russian military officials dismissed suggestions that the naval visit is connected to the turmoil gripping the Arab republic, insisting the visit was planned a year ago. In addition to Syria, the aircraft carrier and its escort ships will make port calls in Beirut, Lebanon; Genoa, Italy; and Cyprus, according to former Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Viktor Kravchenko.\n\nEarlier this year, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov told reporters that Russia intended to fulfill the 2007 contract. \"We are going to supply Yakhonts to Syria. We are going to fulfill the contract,\" he said. Serdyukov emphasized that Russia, unlike the United States and Israel, is confident the technology will not fall into the hands of terrorist organizations. \"The United States and Israel are asking us not to supply Yakhonts to Syria, but we do not share their fears that these weapons might fall into the hands of terrorists,\" Serdyukov said. \"Russia strictly specifies the terms of weapons supply and maintenance and properly formalizes end-user certificates.

With the situation in Syria appearing to teeter on the brink of civil war, many observers fear a \"Libyan scenario\" could unfold, complete with another NATO military operation.\n\nRussia has roundly criticized NATO's handling of the Libyan crisis, arguing that the military alliance overstepped its UN-mandated obligations to protect innocent civilians and aggressively supported the rebels in deposing former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The passing of the community's founders, many of whom were first-generation immigrants, was followed by migration to other Argentine cities or to Israel, as well as an influx of Jewish families from the small towns of the Chaco province and other parts of Argentina. Occupational patterns also evolved, with a growing number of Jews becoming professionals, particularly lawyers, chemists, and physicians, while those engaged in commercial activity declined. The rate of mixed marriages became significant, reaching nearly 70% by 2000. These demographic and social shifts altered prevailing attitudes toward the community, Zionism, immigration to Israel, and traditional Jewish life.\n\nConsequently, community activities declined significantly in the 1980s. The community lost its shochet, and the Hevra Kadisha ceased to function. Furthermore, due to the economic crisis and a diminished identification with Judaism, many Jews chose to be buried in private cemeteries. This decision caused the community's income from burial fees, one of its main revenue sources, to drop considerably during the 1990s. Religious observance also waned; not all Jewish families celebrated the Seder, which was reflected in a sharp decline in matzo consumption. For a relatively stable Jewish population, matzo consumption fell from a peak of 3,150 kg in 1954 to just 525 kg in 1982. Although the community hired young cantors from the Conservative movement and engaged several rabbis as spiritual leaders in the 1980s, these efforts were not particularly successful. Additionally, many Jewish-owned shops remained open during Jewish holidays, a visible sign of the changing attitude toward traditional Judaism.\n\nIn 1966, the second Jewish generation in Resistencia founded its own Country Club, featuring a swimming pool, football field, basketball court, and tennis court. The club fostered collaboration between the Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews of Resistencia, a relationship that had originated in the joint management of the Cooperative Bank. By the 1990s, diminishing Sephardi numbers led more members to join the Ashkenazi community, accelerating the merger of the two groups.\n\nToday, the two communities pray together during the High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah is celebrated at the Sephardi Center, while Yom Kippur services are held in the hall of the Community Center, where the Aron Hakodesh is moved and a Conservative cantor is hired. They organize annual Yom HaShoah and Yom Ha'atzmaut ceremonies, as well as the community Purim party and collective Bat-Mitzvah celebrations. The severe economic crisis in Argentina during 2001-2002 affected the Resistencia Jewish community, resulting in fewer cultural activities and nearly one hundred people receiving material assistance. In early 2003, all Jewish organizations joined forces to hire a \"community leader\" to assist with the spiritual and cultural life of the community.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9165, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "78269b60b639a28b702533befffb555c864598da", "raw_chars": 1622, "clean_chars": 1563, "edit_ratio": 0.5334, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Are intelligence agencies trying to sneak down your digital chimney this Christmas?

It might look strange, but learning just how far the bike can be leaned over can help. After all, you might think you know your cornering limits, but how many times have you done a \"save\" or seen it on TV? You go into a corner and it's tighter than expected, or there's something on the road itself—maybe even a cat runs out in front of you—and the bike can be made to take a much tighter line than feels comfortable. Is this the actual limit of rubber rather than what passes for edgy on a hairpin bend?\n\nOften, the limits are mental rather than adhesive. Frenchman Thibaut Pinot has struggled this year with descending, and it wasn't because his tyres are any less grippy. He's at Alpe d'Huez this week, but not for riding uphill. Instead, he's been racing a car on ice in the Trophée Andros. The idea is to get used to speed. Each rider has their own thing; some fear injury, while for others, it's the fear of failure itself.\n\nSome will always struggle. A light and lanky rider has a higher centre of gravity because their torso is higher off the road, meaning the body becomes a large lever and the G-forces of cornering are increased the longer the lever. Plus, this lever is not rigid, so the more a taller rider tries to crank it over, the more they risk wobbling.\n\nBut that is all the more reason to work at it. A long descent means sitting uncomfortably for long periods, broken by hard sprints out of corners. Just being able to carry 2-3 km/h more out of a bend means a big saving on the sprints. Nobody would think of sprinting out of a hairpin bend on the way up a mountain, but it becomes essential for some on the way down. And it's not just for the Alps; take two seconds per bend on the Poggio and Milan-Sanremo can be yours.\n\nTactics\n\nOf course, descending can be neglected because it's not always fatal to the chances of winning. It's the \"summit finish\" that's crucial, and there's often time to regroup after a descent. But that still means wasted watts out of every hairpin bend, or worse, a longer chase on the valley roads, which ultimately has a price to be paid on the final climb.\n\nEx-MTB riders\n\nDo mountain bikers make good descenders? It's often said, but there's little real evidence; in fact, many MTB riders are very good uphill too. Where I think we see the difference is when things go wrong. An experienced off-road rider will not panic when the rear wheel locks up and the back end comes around.\n\nConclusion\n\nBeing able to go up a mountain fast is essential to winning many races. But less attention, whether sports science or consumer products, gets paid to the descent.\n\nScience and shopping can be skipped, as cornering at speed is an art, a skill to be worked. But often descending woes come from somewhere else, including the mind. A prior crash, a memory of a lost race, or the fear of failure makes some nervous, and this prevents rational, technical abilities.\n\nSo for now, most get by with a mountain training camp, a key stage reconnaissance, and a prayer.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9177, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "03afb76c1859e32bcb0d9f069f156f5dd710f6cd", "raw_chars": 2301, "clean_chars": 1650, "edit_ratio": 0.8016, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Two Brazilian Air Force pilots could face legal consequences after performing a low-altitude supersonic flyover that shattered nearly every window of Brazil's Supreme Court.

Digging into the archives of groups like the Rockefeller Foundation and the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Hvistendahl depicts an unlikely alliance between Republican cold warriors worried that population growth would fuel the spread of Communism and left-wing scientists and activists who believed that abortion was necessary for both \"the needs of women\" and \"the future prosperity — or maybe survival — of mankind,\" as the Planned Parenthood federation’s medical director put it in 1976.\n\nFor many of these antipopulation campaigners, sex selection was a feature rather than a bug, since a society with fewer girls was guaranteed to reproduce itself at lower rates.\n\nHvistendahl’s book is filled with unsettling scenes, from abandoned female fetuses littering an Indian hospital to the signs in Chinese villages at the height of the one-child policy’s enforcement. (\"You can beat it out! You can make it fall out! You can abort it! But you cannot give birth to it!\") The most disturbing passages, though, are the ones that depict self-consciously progressive Westerners persuading themselves that fewer girls might be exactly what the teeming societies of the third world needed.\n\nOverall, \"Unnatural Selection\" reads like a great historical detective story, and it’s written with the sense of moral urgency that usually accompanies the revelation of some enormous crime.\n\nBut what kind of crime? This is the question that haunts Hvistendahl’s book, and the broader debate over the vanished 160 million.\n\nThe scale of that number evokes the genocidal horrors of the 20th century. But notwithstanding the depredations of the Chinese politburo, most of the abortions were (and continue to be) uncoerced. The American establishment helped create the problem, but now it’s metastasizing on its own: the population-control movement is a shadow of its former self, yet sex selection has spread inexorably with access to abortion, and sex ratios are out of balance from Central Asia to the Balkans to Asian-American communities in the United States.\n\nThis places many Western liberals, Hvistendahl included, in a distinctly uncomfortable position. Their own premises insist that the unborn aren’t human beings yet, and that the right to an abortion is nearly absolute. A self-proclaimed agnostic about when life begins, Hvistendahl insists that she hasn’t written \"a book about death and killing.\" But this leaves her struggling to define a victim for the crime that she’s uncovered.\n\nIt’s society at large, she argues, citing evidence that gender-imbalanced countries tend to be violent and unstable.

The exiled Chagossians have since engaged in a long series of legal battles to secure their right of return.\n\nLord Justice Richards and Mr Justice Mitting, sitting in London, addressed the challenge brought by the Chagos Refugees Group, led by Louis Bancoult. Richards described the case as \"a further chapter in the history of litigation arising out of the removal and subsequent exclusion of the local population from the Chagos archipelago.\"\n\nThe MPA was created in April 2010 by Colin Roberts, the top British diplomat serving as commissioner for the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), on the instructions of David Miliband, then foreign secretary. Lawyers for the Chagossians argued that the decision followed British consultations with the United States, during which American officials were assured that the use of their base on Diego Garcia would not be adversely affected by the MPA.\n\nUnder cross-examination at the high court, Roberts denied that the marine park was created for the \"improper purpose\" of keeping the Chagossians out, as the US allegedly wanted. He maintained that the MPA was established for environmental and conservation purposes. On Tuesday, the judges accepted his evidence. Richards stated that a \"truly remarkable set of circumstances\" would have to exist for the case regarding improper purpose to succeed, involving a long-term decision \"somewhere deep in government\" to frustrate Chagossian ambitions by promoting the MPA. \"Those circumstances would provide an unconvincing plot for a novel,\" Richards ruled. \"They cannot found a finding for the claimant on this issue.\"\n\nLawyers for the islanders contended that a classified US government cable leaked by WikiLeaks supported their accusations. They cited reports that Roberts told US diplomats at the US embassy in London in May 2009 that the MPA would prevent the Chagossians from resettling the islands, ensuring \"no human footprints\" or \"Man Fridays\" in the BIOT. Nigel Pleming QC, appearing for the exiled islanders, questioned Roberts about the alleged \"Man Fridays\" comment, suggesting it was \"a totemic phrase that offends.\"\n\nRoberts responded generally, stating that he absolutely agreed and would never have used such a phrase in those circumstances. However, he refused to answer specific questions regarding the authenticity and accuracy of the cable's contents. Initially, the judges ruled that Roberts should answer questions about the cable and could not rely on a government policy of \"neither confirming nor denying\" allegations involving matters of national interest. However, further submissions were then presented by Steven Kovats QC, on behalf of the foreign secretary.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9219, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "088d72362d3dea8bd7eec65162e1cd9cffa26775", "raw_chars": 1417, "clean_chars": 1447, "edit_ratio": 0.6885, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The disintegration of radical Sunni opposition groups in regions crucial for the survival of the Damascus regime, particularly in the Damascus countryside, as well as in the provinces of Homs and Daraa, is a primary objective.

You cannot watch, for example, The Civil War and not see the barely papered-over fault lines that still exist in American politics, and a miniseries like Baseball could present a different prism through which to consider what America cares about.\n\nMany Ken Burns projects are easy to leave in their space—earnest, occasionally dusty chronicles of the past. They reflect the present, but in ways that usually allow us to say, \"Well, things have certainly changed since then.\" You might find them intensely moving or graceful, but you may not return to them much after you are done watching. You will think of them fondly when you stumble upon them on Netflix or a DVD shelf.\n\nBut The Vietnam War, the filmmaker's latest, which he co-directed with Lynn Novick, reflects the present in ways that can be uncomfortable. It is about an unpopular president—actually, two unpopular presidents—who stew about unfair treatment from the press and protesters. It is about a country that seems on the brink of fracturing over very different ideals of what that country should be. And it is about the rise of a movement that believes \"law and order\" is more important than any other fundamental right.\n\nI watched all 18 hours of the miniseries, which are spread across 10 parts, way back in July, but I have found it returning to my thoughts, often unbidden, ever since. It feels, more than any of Burns's projects, like a living document, about something that is not entirely in the past and keeps haunting us.\n\nThe Vietnam War is, in some way, about right now, while also being about something else entirely. I do not know if it is the best film Burns has ever made, but it is certainly the one I have thought most about.\n\nThe Vietnam War should be too much, but it never is.\n\nThe broader subject of every one of Burns's films is American history. He has stated in the past that while he has an interest in the history of other nations, it is American history where he has chosen to ply his trade. What is more, his focus on American history usually starts from the ground up. He is interested in how regular people reacted to the world-changing events swirling around them, as opposed to how, say, the president reacted. He wants to give us both perspectives, ideally, but he is far more interested in the unknown people than those we already know well.\n\nThis approach has occasionally gotten him in trouble, as when his 2007 World War II documentary The War became so intimately focused on a few core communities that it struggled to incorporate many Americans who had fought in the war. This was especially true for Latinos, which led to a minor controversy that Burns addressed before the series aired, allowing its view of the conflict to seem slightly myopic. At the very least, it felt as if the miniseries could have involved the US's allies more than it did.\n\nThis is what makes The Vietnam War so notable. For much of the miniseries, Burns and Novick are balancing a series of perspectives: American military members, people in the anti-war movement, family members of military members, the American government, the North Vietnamese army, the North Vietnamese government, the South Vietnamese army, the South Vietnamese government, journalists, and various intelligence community members.

He holds the distinction of recording the highest known number of confirmed kills by any sniper in any major war, surpassing the runner-up, Soviet sniper Ivan Sidorenko, who achieved 500 confirmed kills during the same conflict. In addition to his 542 confirmed sniper kills, Häyhä managed another couple hundred kills with a Suomi 9mm machine gun, bringing his total for the \"Winter War\" to just under 800. Remarkably, he accomplished all of this in under 100 days, with his personal best being 25 Soviet soldiers killed in a single day.\n\nThe \"Winter War\" was a conflict between Finland and the Soviet Union that began on November 30, 1939, three months after the start of World War II, when the Soviets invaded Finland. The war officially ended on March 13, 1940, with the Soviets having captured most of the territory they targeted.\n\nHäyhä was a member of a reserve force similar to the American \"Minute Men.\" He had served his required one year of military service in Finland before returning to farming and hunting. When the Soviets invaded, he grabbed his standard-issue M/28 rifle and gear and reported for duty. He preferred his rifle, which only had iron sights, over Swedish sniper rifles equipped with scopes. The iron sights allowed him to maintain a slightly lower profile, as scopes required the shooter to raise their head an extra inch or two, making them an easier target for other snipers. Additionally, scopes on sniper rifles tended to reflect sunlight, which Häyhä noted helped him spot and eliminate Soviet snipers who were specifically dispatched to take him out. The true marvel of using only iron sights was that many of his kills were made at distances over 400 yards.\n\nHäyhä was assigned to the Kollaa battlefield, where an estimated 32 Finnish soldiers held off over 4,000 Soviet troops at one point. Indeed, even by the end of the war, which the Soviets won, they never conceded that particular ground. Temperatures in the area typically ranged from -40°F to -4°F. As such, Häyhä would go out by himself to snipe, dressed in white camouflage, carrying only a few clips of ammunition and food provisions for the day.\n\nTired of suffering heavy casualties from Häyhä, the Soviets eventually dispatched a group of snipers and launched a series of artillery strikes to eliminate \"Belaya Smert\" (\"White Death\"), as they nicknamed him. Häyhä managed to outmaneuver the snipers sent against him and was apparently not in the expected location during the artillery strikes.\n\nHowever, he was finally shot in the jaw with an exploding bullet during a pitched battle against a large group of Russian soldiers. Some of his fellow Finnish soldiers pulled him from the battle, and he survived despite the severity of his injuries. He fell into a coma for nine days, during which time Finland lost the war. He did not regain consciousness until March 13, the day the war ended. It took Häyhä a few years to fully recuperate from his wounds, but he went on to live to the age of 96, dying on April 1, 2002.\n\nDuring the war, the Soviet army lost close to one million soldiers, nearly forty times the number of Finnish casualties.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9247, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d2e98bd73a19a6d6fd738d5510213f1505d5a39f", "raw_chars": 3252, "clean_chars": 3262, "edit_ratio": 0.0955, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Yesterday, Clemens Gleich brought you Part 1 of his authoritative guide to the Autobahn.

The Location\n\nMany foreigners think that every Autobahn is basically the same, which can lead to a very unsatisfactory motor vacation. It is easily possible to spend the whole length of it in absurdly limited sections and roadworks, meaning you might as well have stayed at home. There are some passages that not only are unlimited, but also have curvature radii that feel like a straight at 70 mph but tear your face off your skull (or your tires off the asphalt) at 170 mph. The A95 from Munich to Garmisch is a nice example (don’t go there on the weekends, when everybody and their mother will).\n\nYou could race down BMW's very own prototype test track: Enter the A92 leaving Munich, turn on the A3 towards Regensburg, at Regensburg go down the A93 towards Ingolstadt and Munich (A9). Rinse, repeat. You will see all those disguised next-gen BMWs and perhaps a few such Audis, too.\n\nIf you are looking for competition, visit the Kassel Mountains on the A7 (\"Kasseler Berge\" will give you YouTube clips galore, complete with infos on speed cameras on the limited bits). The road through these hills is so steep that caravanists go a long way to avoid it for fear their underpowered bathrooms will be reduced to 20 mph or to going backwards very fast, disintegrating. This fact alone should tell you everything: few caravans, much competition, good road. To race the Kasseler Berge, follow the A7 from Bad Brückenau towards Kassel until you come to the Autobahndreieck Drammetal (A7 and A38 meet here). Yes, Google Maps is right: There are many miles in that bit.\n\nBring an amount of horsepower you would consider \"too much\" at home, otherwise you might leave the A7 a very frustrated man.\n\nFor pure, undiluted straight line speed visit the north of Germany where the landscape slowly peters out into the North Sea. A famous example of this experience of American motoring in fast forward is the A27 from Bremen to Bremerhaven: Going straight towards the horizon, towards the sea. Another good stretch are the 50 open km on the A7 from Rendsburg to Flensburg, Germany’s northernmost city, (in)famous for being the home of the points-on-your-licence database. If you don’t manage to max your car on these northern Autobahns, you need a slower one. Or bigger balls.\n\nMy personal favorite are the Autobahns of Eastern Germany. The East is a dark forested no man’s land that hasn’t changed since the Dark Ages, which is why it is also known as \"Dunkeldeutschland\" (\"Dark Germany\"). During the socialist occupation after the war, people were forced to live there at gunpoint, but when the wall came down, of course everybody with half an ounce of sense and two working legs left. Now, only ancient pensioners still haunt the ghost towns there, the rest has fled to Berlin or to civilized Germany (which funds the whole Berlin island setup).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9251, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "16f06713697e012e1fd985f2049d58ea12b9e0cb", "raw_chars": 3454, "clean_chars": 3445, "edit_ratio": 0.0459, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is likely that I first encountered Victor Santos' work as many of you reading this did: in the pages of Mice Templar, when he replaced co-creator Mike Oeming as the artist on that series.

Subsequent issues only confirmed those early impressions, even while Santos' considerable skills as a visual storyteller enabled him to truly make his own unique mark upon that title.\n\nI also imagine that you shared my delight in learning that Victor had somehow found enough time and energy to create a whole other unique project of his own.

Rather than being remembered as the voluntary union of two proud people, each with their own distinctive cultural characteristics and traditions, it is now viewed as the absorption of Scotland by England.\n\nOver the next 20 years, larger trends eroded the economic and cultural bonds that had forged Britishness in the 18th and 19th centuries, gradually alchemizing discontent into political nationalism. Protestant Christianity, with which Britons of all classes from the Gorbals to Guildford had identified themselves, was eroded by secularisation—a trend that accelerated in the 1960s. By 2007, 69% of Britons never attended a religious service, up from 26% in 1964. Only in Northern Ireland did it remain intact.\n\nThe monarchy, still today the constitutional guarantor of Protestantism, remained popular enough for the Scottish National Party to be happy to keep the Crown. However, by the time the Queen opened the Scottish Parliament in 1999, royalism had become a matter of respectful indifference for most Scots rather than love of an institution which fired their hearts and bound them to the English. During a Silver Jubilee address to parliament, the Queen urged the Scots to remember \"the benefits which union has conferred\". The fact that she did not comment officially during the 2014 campaign may testify to her awareness of the relative fragility of monarchism north of the border.\n\nThe end of empire also removed much of the Union's appeal, for empire not only enriched Scotland—it also provided the Scots with professional opportunities around the world and a global status that bound them to their larger neighbour. This loss was compounded by the decline of Scotland's industrial base and by Margaret Thatcher's painful restructuring of the British economy in the 1980s. Roadtesting the poll tax on the Scots was the final straw, completing the decimation of the Tory vote in Scotland in 1992.\n\nDespite Thatcher's worship of Adam Smith, monetarism hastened the reformation of Scottish identity—from the 18th-century idea of being entrepreneurial \"North Britons\" into that of being a fairer people than the more conservative English. (This was a bit cheeky—given that the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967 only applied to England and Wales—because of opposition from Scottish Protestants and Catholics, it was not adopted north of the border until 1980.)\n\nFrom this fertile ground the Scottish National Party grew. Founded in 1934 by intellectuals like the fiercely anti-English, republican poet Hugh MacDiarmid, it gained little traction until the mid-1970s. As the bonds of Britishness frayed, North Sea oil came ashore, enabling the SNP to reassure many who feared the cost of separation that \"black gold\" would lubricate the engines of independence.

The researchers have dubbed the threat Backdoor.MAC.Elanor. The malicious application was available on several formerly reputable download sites, including MacUpdate.\n\nThe backdoor was embedded within a fake file converter application that was accessible online through reputable sites offering Mac software. The application, titled EasyDoc Converter.app, posed as a drag-and-drop file converter but lacked any real functionality. Instead, it simply downloaded a malicious script. This backdoor is capable of stealing data, executing remote code, and accessing the webcam, among other malicious activities.\n\nBitdefender explains that the malware discovered within the EasyDoc Converter application installs a Tor hidden service, a web service, and a Pastebin agent on each infected system. Technical lead Tiberius Axinte notes that there is no real limit to what the Backdoor.MAC.Elanor malware can do. This type of malware is particularly dangerous because it is difficult to detect and gives the attacker full control over the compromised system. For instance, an attacker could lock a user out of their laptop, threaten to blackmail them to restore private files, or transform the laptop into a botnet to attack other devices. The possibilities for abuse are endless.\n\nThe good news is that the malicious app is not signed by an Apple Developer ID. Therefore, as long as a Mac is set to open apps only from the Mac App Store or known developers, the application will not run. However, this incident emphasizes the importance of exercising caution even when downloading apps from reputable sites.

Confirm with video? Not yet! I mean, come on!\"\n\nKnown as Malath Omran until his real identity was made public last week by the Syrian secret police, Nakhle is one hub of a growing and impressively organized network of activists using social media to break the bonds of Syria's police state and publish news and images of the unprecedented protest movement against the regime.\n\nHaving fled Syria after a tip-off that he was about to be arrested, Nakhle now lives across the border in a safe house in Beirut. Despite concerns for his family, Nakhle said he is unable to return home. On his Facebook wall, the activist recently received a threat he believes came from Syrian security, warning that if he did not renounce his support for the uprising, his sister would be arrested and his family targeted.\n\nDuring last Friday's protests, tens of thousands of Syrians took to the streets to demand freedom in cities across the country, many calling for the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has ruled the country for 40 years. At least 26 protestors were killed by Syrian security forces in the southern city of Deraa. On Wednesday, the protest movement appeared to be spreading to more Syrian cities, including Aleppo, the country's second largest.\n\nAlong with further deaths at funerals over the weekend, the total number of Syrians killed in three weeks of mostly peaceful protests now numbers more than 200, according to Syria's National Organization for Human Rights.\n\nNakhle's job is to use social media and technology to link the protestors on the street, shooting video on their mobiles, with the outside world. Many of the cities where protests have taken place are now under a military lockdown, with mobile phone and internet cut, and access restricted. Foreign media have been barred from Syria and dozens of journalists, local and foreign, arrested or expelled. In their place, Syria's cyber activists are making sure reporting still gets out.\n\nNakhle's flat looks just like what it is: a bunker in wartime.

The `thread::send -async` command dispatches commands to the specified threads, storing the outcome in a shared variable named `result`. By using `vwait` twice, the main program ensures that both threads have finished their work before proceeding.\n\nAs explained in the ActiveTcl documentation, this approach allows threads to perform their tasks asynchronously while the main process waits for the results. Shared state between threads is managed through the `tsv` package, which provides thread-safe variables. This mechanism is analogous to having two distinct types for every data type in C: one that is thread-safe and another that is not. With this system, a developer can declare a variable like `safe_int mysafeint` and use it directly across threads without manually protecting it with mutexes every time it is accessed.\n\nThis feature is significant because non-atomic access to basic data types, such as integers, is a common source of bugs in multi-threaded programming. Thread switches can occur at almost any point in the code, making it easy for junior developers to introduce subtle errors. In many languages, junior developers should be discouraged from writing multi-threaded code due to the high risk of missing these details or larger structural and timing issues. However, Tcl's approach makes it relatively safe for less experienced programmers to work with threads.\n\nTcl also includes a module for creating and managing thread pools. A thread pool consists of a group of threads created together, often used in server applications where multiple server threads are initialized at startup to handle incoming requests. While a simple example could be provided here, a comprehensive guide on setting up a multi-threaded server in Tcl is already available in a previous ActiveState blog post titled \"Concurrency in Tcl: Weaving Threads.\"\n\nThe Tcl thread package stands out for its ability to support fallible developers. Mistakes are inevitable, and mature engineering practices involve taking steps to minimize the likelihood of errors. The Tcl threading model is notable because it allows developers to use threads on routine projects without the constant fear of race conditions and deadlocks that often plague codebases. In languages like C, C++, or Java, multi-threaded code typically requires extremely senior developers, especially at the design level. In contrast, with Tcl, an intermediate developer can be tasked with threading operations without using explicit mutexes or complex thread-shared variables, and the resulting code is likely to be maintainable.\n\nGiven the increasing scarcity of development resources and the prevalence of multi-core environments, Tcl's threading capabilities make it a compelling choice for a broader range of projects than might have been considered in the past.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9274, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "582f1fa5bed017c5ea0f3e1d070fa62657da6133", "raw_chars": 2557, "clean_chars": 2570, "edit_ratio": 0.2358, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "DO: Bring $50 to $100 in cash if you plan on engaging in civil disobedience.

English Premier League fans may be aware that he possesses facial hair styled to perfection and presents himself as the immaculate gentleman, but his time at Chelsea didn't present him with the opportunity to get his concepts across. However, Tottenham is a whole different proposition.\n\nWhat to expect: Andre Villas Boas is a manager who believes that the strength of his team is focused around a particular system. As we saw at Chelsea, he is a manager who is consistent with his proposed style of play, even through poor spells. But don't write him off just yet; to judge him on his Chelsea performance would be unwise.\n\nWith the ball: AVB prefers his team to be patient in possession and \"pick the lock\" at the right moment. One of the key factors for his failure at Chelsea has often been suggested to be a lack of a creative midfielder, one just like Modric. A breed of creativity and flair that was also present in his Porto side through the talent of Joao Moutinho. Andre Castro was Joao Moutinho's understudy at Porto and under the supervision of Villas Boas appears to have become a play-making clone of Moutinho.\n\nVillas Boas has also demonstrated at both clubs that he likes to play a formation with two dynamic, fast, and goal-scoring inside forwards or wingers. Sturridge and Mata were instructed to take up these roles at Chelsea, and both did a reasonable job at adapting to AVB's ideologies, however neither are naturally players positioned on the flanks. At Porto, AVB boasted the skills and pace of Varela and Hulk, two players that Lennon and Bale are more than a match for, two game changers.\n\nThe basis of AVB's strategy is that when his side are in possession, the pitch is made as big as possible by spreading the formation out wide and utilizing the space created by getting the wide men on the ball as often as the centralized play-makers.\n\nAVB is clearly a firm believer in the old footballing proverb that \"possession is nine-tenths of the game.\" The logic behind this belief is twofold. If you have the ball, the other team cannot score, and secondly, if your team has the ball, the opposition become exhausted chasing you down. This therefore has two desired effects: one is that the opposition are so tired that upon winning the ball from you, they are easier to press and tackle in the following moments of play; secondly, their attacks become slower and a lot more predictable, either through a resort to a long ball or the struggle to retain possession and get a foothold in the game. \"Keep ball\" has the potential to act as a virtuous cycle.\n\nWithout the ball: AVB presses high up the field and is unlikely to sit back against anyone, not even Man City or United. One particular issue at Chelsea was that of a slow back line, and it would be fair to say they failed to cope with defending any immediate counter attack.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9311, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5ce03c9558632aa428e464f3567d4586aa76fb88", "raw_chars": 1811, "clean_chars": 1845, "edit_ratio": 0.1805, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The two individuals believed to be responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday have been positively identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who is now deceased, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is in custody.

In the East, the Byzantine Rite was the predominant liturgical rite. In the West, the Latin Rite was the dominant rite. In the time of the final East–West Schism of 1054, most of the Churches that remained in communion with four Eastern Patriarchates used the Byzantine Rite, though there were still regions where other liturgies, including the Roman Rite, were used.

(The Washington Post)\n\nA visibly frustrated President Obama delivered a blunt message to Republicans with whom he had feuded over the government shutdown and the debt ceiling over the past month on Tuesday: Elections matter. I won; you lost. Deal with it.\n\nThat's a paraphrase -- obviously. Here's what Obama actually said:\n\n\"You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don't break it. Don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That's not being faithful to what this country's about.\"\n\n\"Go out there and win an election.\" That's about as direct as you will ever hear a politician be about how he feels about his opposition and how they are conducting themselves. (It's not the first time Obama has used the \"I won\" construct. Remember the health-care summit in early 2010 when Obama told Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.): \"The election is over.\")\n\nObama's argument comes down to this: He believes that the 2012 election -- in which he was reelected easily and Democrats surprisingly picked up Senate seats and won a handful of House seats -- was a clear signal that the American electorate prefers his vision for government to the one offered by Republicans. He views that mandate as a broad one -- encompassing fiscal matters, health care, immigration and pretty much everything else.\n\nRepublicans, obviously, disagree vehemently with the \"elections matter ... and I won\" concept -- noting that they still control the House, which means that simply accepting Obama's priorities in toto because he won reelection isn't representing their constituents well. (Democrats make the counterpoint that while Republicans control the House, they actually got fewer raw votes in 2012. True. But, that gets us into redistricting -- and that's a whole other can of worms we aren't opening in this blog post.)\n\nAt the center of this disagreement -- policy differences aside -- is what it means to be the loyal opposition. Obama believes that Republicans have the right to dislike/disagree/fight his policies but only within the bounds of standard operating procedure on Capitol Hill. (\"Push to change it. But don't break it.\") That sentiment, in truth, is probably shared by 80 (or so) House Republicans -- including Speaker John Boehner. But, for the other 140 House GOPers -- including the four dozen or so committed tea party conservatives -- opposing the president and his policies means using any means necessary to do so. That includes a government shutdown and very nearly going past the debt-ceiling deadline.\n\nFor that group of 140, elections matter, too -- their elections. And, their constituents not only don't blanche at their tactics but embrace them. In many districts in the country, being involved in an effort to repeal Obamacare -- even if it led to a government shutdown -- was a very good thing politically.\n\nObama's annoyance -- and call for cooperation -- then will fall on mostly deaf ears.

So let's take 20% as the estimated street discount, which brings the $20k camera down to $16k (which has also been a reported selling price of the C300 -- probably due to confusion between MSRP and street).\n\nThe RED SCARLET-X lists for $9,750 and that is direct from RED: no discounts. However, that is a \"brain only\" price (though it comes with a SSD recording module, Canon lens mount, and AC adapter). After December 31st, in fact, the RED's prices will go up. But if you include the prices of the things you'll need to shoot in each cameras' most basic configuration, many all of these things are included with the Canon but not with the RED. (A couple of them are not included with the Canon either, where noted).\n\nCamera Body\n\nLens Mount\n\nSide Handle (RED +$950)\n\nViewfinder/Screen (RED's 5\" LCD is $1,600, though it's probably nicer than the Canon's EVF)\n\nMedia Module\n\nMedia for 1 hour of footage (a cheap $100 CF card for the Canon, but two $950 SSDs for the RED)\n\nMedia Reader (a cheap $50 CF reader for the Canon, but a $250 REDMAG for the RED)\n\nBattery Charger (an extra $150 for the RED, though I'm not clear on whether the included AC adapter can also charge batteries)\n\nBatteries for a few hours of shooting (an extra $150 battery for the Canon, three $195 REDVOLTS for the RED)\n\nThis brings the RED up to an even $15k. As you get into more realistic battery and media numbers -- I included the absolute minimum above -- the SCARLET-X becomes more expensive than the C300. Which is to say nothing of the fact that the C300's 1080P MPEG-2 files require much less computer power to edit and process in post than do the 4K R3D files (thus more expense on the back-end for the RED). Plus, I'm betting the Canon will be better in low light situations, which makes your necessary lighting budget lower (though just because you can shoot without lights does not mean you should).\n\nFinally, while some pointed out during yesterday's brouhaha that \"the RED will be available sooner,\" that remains to be seen -- RED's November 17th (for the PL mount version) and December 1st (for the Canon mount) dates are for when the SCARLET-X starts shipping. RED's history is not one of shipping on time (not in any real quantity, at least), and on top of that some of the required accessories are backordered, so by the time you're able to get your hands on a full SCARLET-X kit, I'm betting the C300 will be shipping in volume.\n\nCertainly by the time RED has all of the SCARLET-X features enabled -- including a basic ability like playing back the footage in-camera (yes, this is not currently possible with the $28,000 EPIC) -- you can bet the C300 will be out in the wild. I'm not second-guessing my decision to order a SCARLET-X, but let's not pretend that the RED will be ready to shoot for $10k on December 1st. For all intents and purposes, both of these cameras are $16k (without lenses), and both of them are shipping in 2012.\n\nBut only one of them's being used to shoot The Hobbit in 3D!\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHF536TJ0iE", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9351, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "8b39d85bb7a0c07bdc7936c9ecbf06f3c8f66f10", "raw_chars": 3203, "clean_chars": 2668, "edit_ratio": 0.8068, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The following commentary, attributed to Bevin on Moon of Alabama, presents a scathing critique of Barack Obama. It argues that Obama is devoid of scruples, characterizing him as a willing executioner and a perfect figurehead for the ruling class whose appearance confuses and disarms many observers. The text suggests that Obama’s entire resume is defined by a willingness to play the role of Judas, projecting a false image of negligence and a lack of intentional connection to evil acts. According to this view, the core of his perceived evil lies in his lack of conscience or principle; he is described as an ordinary butcher fulfilling the terms of his employment without moral judgment. The author contrasts the perception of Obama as focused and intentional with the reality of someone who signs death warrants without reading or considering them. The text references the Israeli attack on Gaza shortly after Obama’s election in November 2008, suggesting that the attack was intended to demonstrate who was in charge and that Obama watched the ensuing massacres with insouciance, relieved to no longer pretend to care. It also cites an anecdote about Obama asking his stepfather if he had ever killed men, to which the reply was, \"Only men who were weak,\" a standard the author claims Obama has adhered to ever since.\n\nThis perspective summarizes Obama as an empty vessel who never intended to fulfill his promises, harboring disdain for his voters and treating the taking of life with the same casualness as swatting a fly. Bevin is quoted describing Obama as a \"pure confidence man and a sociopath.\"\n\nThe commentary then shifts to Obama’s focus on Ukraine, alleging his determination to draw Russia into a conflict over Crimea. It notes that Moscow had previously assisted the United States in the War on Terror, removed heavy weapons from its western regions, reduced its conventional military by 300,000 troops, and fulfilled all obligations under the Adapted Conventional Armed Forces Treaty in Europe (ACAF). The text asserts that Moscow did everything requested while Washington defaulted on key agreements made with the USSR and Russia over the preceding thirty years. Valentin Mândrăşescu, editor of The Voice of Russia’s Reality Check, is cited on the Testosterone Pit website, stating that Gorbachev was promised Eastern Europe would not join NATO, yet countries were added one by one and Yugoslavia was dismantled despite Russian objections. Mândrăşescu concludes that the US acted as the victor of the Cold War, guided by the principle \"Vae victis!\" or \"Woe to the vanquished,\" and declares that from now on, no compromises are possible with Russia.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9354, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "3a2a43f4af9ffeaca1ea15572ac9aa4b14de6f8b", "raw_chars": 3484, "clean_chars": 3524, "edit_ratio": 0.1632, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Before passing it back to you, Kevin, let me also note that the report claiming the three-person jury \"read about 300 novels each over the course of six months\" is, of course, ludicrous. This would require reading almost two books a day, seven days a week, for those entire six months while also maintaining at least a semblance of a normal life, as Maureen Corrigan is a professor of English at Georgetown. It is simply not credible. No one is capable of this, not if they have jobs, lives, or engage in basic personal hygiene. I am willing to grant that the jury \"considered,\" \"reviewed,\" or \"sampled\" that many books, but \"read\"? Not a chance.\n\nKevin: I used to collect pictures of myself with other people's trophies. For example, there is one of me and a Bulls NBA Championship trophy. I do not know which specific trophy it is, as the Bulls have so many, and how it ended up in what appears to be the kitchen of a house I once shared with a Chicago funk band is a memory lost to a pitcher of El Jardin margaritas. I trust it was safely returned.\n\nThe Baseball Hall of Fame used to have a thing called the Veterans Committee. It was a panel of old players, executives, and sports writers who would get together in a room each year to argue over which old-timers deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. Different individuals would make their case, and they would vote and revote, much like a jury. Usually, they would come out of the process with a name.\n\nThen, about ten years ago, they changed the rules so that instead of a committee, the living Hall of Famers would each get a ballot and simply mail their vote in. There was no meeting, no arguing, and no compromising. And guess what? They never elected anybody.\n\nSo, to their great credit, they tweaked the process again. That is the story of how nine-time All-Star Ron Santo was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame about three minutes after he died.\n\nWhatever the reason this happened, I hope the Pulitzer folk realize that the system here is broken. At a startling moment when one of only two novelists on TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World is a writer of naughty Twilight fan fiction, we do not need the Pulitzer saying that nobody writes good books anymore.\n\nLiterature needs champions. Be one.\n\nJohn: The Downtown Athletic Club does not decide to cancel the Heisman when the best they can do is Gino Torretta or Eric Crouch. They do not call off the BCS Championship if the best teams have one loss. For better or worse, the Pulitzer is literature's national championship, and it just feels dumb and miserly to deny the pleasure of arguing, cheering, or scratching our heads over the choice.\n\nAt Bookslut, Jessa Crispin, someone I rarely disagree with, called the decision \"ballsy,\" but that presupposes that the reason the jurors did not choose a winner was because they found the choices wanting.\n\nIn 1974, Thomas Pynchon was denied the prize for Gravity's Rainbow after the voters rejected the jury's unanimous recommendation. That was ballsy, or to my mind stupid, but it actually made a statement about literature.\n\nThe statement this time, I fear, is that they just could not agree when presented with a list, and probably had not read enough fiction from the last year to substitute a title from their own judgment.

Similarly, implicitly declaring an undefined variable with `my $undef2;` and printing it produces the same result. A numeric scalar, such as `my $num = 4040.5;`, prints as \"4040.5\". A string scalar, like `my $string = \"world\";`, prints as \"world\". References are discussed later in the text.\n\nString concatenation in Perl uses the dot (`.`) operator, similar to PHP. For instance, `print \"Hello \" . $string;` outputs \"Hello world\".\n\nPerl does not have a dedicated boolean data type. Instead, a scalar evaluates to boolean \"false\" in an `if` statement if and only if it is one of the following: `undef`, the number `0`, the empty string `\"\"`, or the string `\"0\"`. The Perl documentation often claims that functions return \"true\" or \"false\" values. In practice, when a function is said to return \"true,\" it usually returns `1`, and when it returns \"false,\" it typically returns the empty string, `\"\"`.\n\nPerl features weak typing, meaning it is impossible to determine whether a scalar contains a \"number\" or a \"string.\" More precisely, you should never need to do this. A scalar's behavior depends on the operator used with it. When used as a string, it behaves like a string; when used as a number, it behaves like a number (raising a warning if conversion is not possible). For example, concatenating `\"4G\"` and `\"4H\"` with the dot operator yields `\"4G4H\"`. Adding them with the `+` operator results in `\"8\"` but generates two warnings. Comparing them with `eq` (string equality) returns an empty string (false), while comparing them with `==` (numeric equality) returns `1` (true) along with two warnings. A classic error is `print \"yes\" == \"no\";`, which outputs `1` with two warnings because both strings evaluate to `0` when treated as numbers. The lesson is to always use the correct operator for the intended comparison. Perl provides separate operators for comparing scalars as numbers and as strings.\n\nAn array variable is a list of scalars indexed by integers starting at `0`. In Python, this is known as a list, and in PHP, it is called an array. An array is declared using a parenthesized list of scalars, such as `my @array = ( \"print\", \"these\", \"strings\", \"out\", \"for\", \"me\" );`. Note that a trailing comma is acceptable.\n\nTo access a value from an array, you must use a dollar sign (`$`) because the retrieved value is a scalar, not an array. For example, `print $array[0];` outputs \"print\", and `print $array[1];` outputs \"these\". Accessing an index beyond the array's bounds, such as `$array[6];`, returns `undef`, prints an empty string, and raises a warning.\n\nYou can also use negative indices to retrieve entries starting from the end of the array and working backwards. For instance, `$array[-1]` is \"me\", `$array[-2]` is \"for\", and so on. Accessing an index like `$array[-7]` returns `undef` and raises a warning.\n\nThere is no collision between a scalar variable `$var` and an array variable `@var` that contains a scalar entry `$var[0]`. However, this can cause reader confusion, so it is best to avoid it.\n\nTo get the length of an array, you can use the `scalar` function: `print \"This array has \" . (scalar @array) . \" elements\";` outputs \"This array has 6 elements\". To find the last populated index, you can use `$#array`: `print \"The last populated index is \" . $#array;` outputs \"The last populated index is 5\".\n\nThe arguments with which the original Perl script was invoked are stored in the built-in array variable `@ARGV`.\n\nVariables can be interpolated into strings.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9358, "chunk_idx": 11, "raw_sha1": "d61184e6d721752a1c565e96625de63dc6c7389a", "raw_chars": 3404, "clean_chars": 3476, "edit_ratio": 0.1247, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The system function can be used to invoke another program with the specified arguments.

In scalar context, the entire output is returned as a single string. In list context, the entire output is returned as an array of strings, with each element representing a line of output.\n\nmy $text = `perl anotherscript.pl foo bar baz`;\nprint $text; # \"foobarbaz\"\n\nThis is the behavior you would see if anotherscript.pl contained, for example:\n\nuse strict;\nuse warnings;\nprint @ARGV;\nexit 37;\n\nFiles and File Handles\n\nA scalar variable may contain a file handle instead of a number, string, reference, or undef. A file handle is essentially a reference to a specific location inside a specific file.\n\nUse open to turn a scalar variable into a file handle. open must be supplied with a mode. The mode < indicates that you wish to open the file to read from it:\n\nmy $f = \"text.txt\";\nmy $result = open my $fh, \"<\", $f;\nif (!$result) {\ndie \"Couldn't open '\".$f.\"' for reading because: \".$!\";\n}\n\nIf successful, open returns a true value. Otherwise, it returns false and an error message is stored in the built-in variable $!. As seen above, you should always check that the open operation completed successfully. Because this checking can be tedious, a common idiom is:\n\nopen(my $fh, \"<\", $f) || die \"Couldn't open '\".$f.\"' for reading because: \".$!\";\n\nNote the need for parentheses around the open call's arguments.\n\nTo read a line of text from a file handle, use the readline built-in function. readline returns a full line of text, with a line break intact at the end of it (except possibly for the final line of the file), or undef if you have reached the end of the file.\n\nwhile (1) {\nmy $line = readline $fh;\nlast unless defined $line;\n# process the line...\n}\n\nTo remove that possible trailing line break, use chomp:\n\nchomp $line;\n\nNote that chomp acts on $line in place. Assigning the result back to $line, as in $line = chomp $line, is probably not what you want.\n\nYou can also use eof to detect that the end of the file has been reached:\n\nwhile (!eof $fh) {\nmy $line = readline $fh;\n# process $line...\n}\n\nBut beware of using while (my $line = readline $fh), because if $line turns out to be \"0\", the loop will terminate early. If you want to write something like that, Perl provides the <> operator, which wraps up readline in a fractionally safer way. This is very commonly seen and perfectly safe:\n\nwhile (my $line = <$fh>) {\n# process $line...\n}\n\nAnd even:\n\nwhile (<$fh>) {\n# process $_...\n}\n\nWriting to a file involves first opening it in a different mode. The mode > indicates that you wish to open the file to write to it. The > mode will clobber the content of the target file if it already exists and has content. To merely append to an existing file, use the >> mode. Then, simply provide the file handle as the first argument to the print function.\n\nopen(my $fh2, \">\", $f) || die \"Couldn't open '\".$f.\"' for writing because: \".$!\";\nprint $fh2 \"The eagles have left the nest\";\n\nNotice the absence of a comma between $fh2 and the next argument.\n\nFile handles are actually closed automatically when they drop out of scope, but you can also close them explicitly:\n\nclose $fh2;\nclose $fh;", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9360, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "5e6a228e31e42635d5171254409788e81b3a536b", "raw_chars": 922, "clean_chars": 908, "edit_ratio": 0.3694, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Some groups continue to link vaccinations to autism and claim they pose serious health risks, but the study that popularized the supposed link has since been discredited and debunked.\n\nThe \"No Jab, No Play\" policy was introduced to counter an alarming drop-off in vaccination rates, which was exposing children to a range of deadly diseases.

Due to a “recent attack on supply lines,” Howard was given a green sweat suit and a tennis racket meant to be held backward like a gun.\n\n“Bruce, you’re the tough guy from Brooklyn who cares a lot more than he lets on and everybody calls you ‘Brooklyn,’” Hanks reportedly said, pacing back and forth in an authentic 1943 U.S. officer’s field jacket. “Martin, you’re the funny medic named Dankowitz.”\n\n“Ron, you’ll be the weakling Irish kid everybody thinks is going to get us killed,” Hanks added. “Let’s just hope you don’t, soldier.”\n\nSources close to Hanks said the world’s No. 1 box-office star regularly forces family, friends, and delivery people to pretend they’re fighting World War II with him. Though he has been seen splashing in his pool on an inflatable lounger while shouting about kamikaze attacks, past houseguests confirmed Hanks’ favorite thing is playing Western Front.\n\nOn Saturday, Springsteen, a 20-time Grammy winner who has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, acknowledged that Hanks was highly critical of his performance during the afternoon’s World War II game.\n\n“Right away he starts yelling at me that I’m standing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and I’m going to drown,” Springsteen said. “When I told him I was wearing scuba gear he went ballistic, screaming that I’m an infantryman and I wouldn’t have that kind of equipment.”\n\nHanks was also seen pointing at two chairs covered by a blanket and ordering Howard, Springsteen, and Short to “hit the barracks so you can write your gals back home and still get some shut-eye.” He then encouraged them to make snoring sounds to simulate sleep, and several minutes later hummed reveille through a closed hand he said was a bugle.\n\n“Hey, Ron, you just wandered into Germany,” Hanks said. “BAM!

You gotta lay down.”\n\nNext-door neighbor Stan Herzig, who was “drafted” last month when Hanks told him Uncle Sam needed an elite paratrooper to join Alfred Molina and Julia Roberts on a special mission behind enemy lines, said he would prefer the actor find a different game to play.\n\n“Whenever I go get the mail, he runs out and tells me I have to wait until the naval blockade is lifted,” said Herzig, 83. “And I’m getting tired of explaining to him that the Soviets liberated Auschwitz, not the Americans.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9373, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6965e3b3240d0d710454696b60ae94f3654f6c09", "raw_chars": 3169, "clean_chars": 2947, "edit_ratio": 0.6988, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Sources at multiple financial institutions report tracking a pattern of fraud indicating that thieves have compromised credit card terminals at checkout lanes in several Safeway stores across California and Colorado. Safeway has confirmed it is investigating these skimming incidents.\n\nBanking sources have been trying to determine why numerous customers in the Denver and Englewood areas of Colorado experienced drained debit card accounts at ATMs after shopping at Safeway locations. Upon comparing notes, sources found that all affected customers had made purchases from specific lanes in different compromised stores. Transaction data, which includes a terminal ID, proved useful in identifying which checkout lanes were targeted.\n\nSafeway spokesperson Brian Dowling stated that the fraud was limited to a handful of stores and emphasized that the company has established processes to protect customers from fraudulent activity. \"We have an excellent track record in this area,\" Dowling said. \"In fact, we inspect our store's pin pads regularly and from time to time find a skimmer, but findings have been limited and small in scale. We immediately contact law enforcement and take steps to minimize customer impact.\"\n\nDowling noted that the issue of checkout skimmers is not unique to Safeway, hinting that other retailers may have been affected by the same group. \"This is not unique to our company, and we understand some other retailers may have been more significantly impacted,\" he said, declining to elaborate further.\n\nWhile Safeway did not name the affected locations, bank industry sources traced the fraud to Colorado stores in Arvada, Conifer, Denver, Englewood, and Lakewood. In California, banks suspect that Safeway locations in Castro Valley and Menlo Park may also have been compromised. These sources linked the ATM fraud to customers using their debit cards at those locations since early September 2015.\n\nTo steal card data and personal identification numbers (PINs), thieves would have had to open the card processing terminals at each checkout lane. Once inside, they could install a device between the keypad and the underlying electronics to capture and store PINs, along with a separate apparatus to siphon account data when customers swipe their cards. Alternatively, the thieves may have secretly swapped existing terminals with pre-compromised ones of the exact same design.

While local officials appear dismissive of the threat of federal funding cuts, millions of dollars could be at stake in King County and Seattle alone if the federal government follows through on its promises.\n\nThe potential loss of funding has primarily focused on government programs. However, the question remains: what if a real catastrophe occurred, one that might require actual cooperation between the two parties? For instance, there is the looming threat of a magnitude-8.0 or greater earthquake, which the commander of the entire Washington National Guard has described as a \"catastrophe we have never seen.\" Some experts suggest such an event could happen within the next 100 years.\n\nIs there any risk that Washington state could be ignored when the quake hits? To find out, we consulted Eric Holdeman, director of the Center for Regional Disaster Resilience. His answer was clear: no.\n\n\"I don't think in an actual disaster, where you have the Stafford Act and the Emergency Management Agency coming in, those types of funds should not be impacted,\" Holdeman said. The Stafford Act, signed into law on November 23, 1988, declares that in the event of a disaster, federal and local governments are required to provide \"orderly and continuing means of assistance.\"\n\n\"There is no way I think he could withhold a presidential declaration for a really major disaster,\" Holdeman added. \"That would be playing politics with people's lives. And I know some would say we see that happening all the time, I think a disaster is different.\"\n\nDespite this, the Trump Administration's proposed cuts could still impact preparations for the \"Big One.\" President Trump has campaigned on his ability to hold grudges, and Washington leaders have gone out of their way to ensure his first few months in office were difficult. Following Trump's proposed travel ban, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson led a successful lawsuit that stopped the ban. Trump responded with angry tweets. Meanwhile, Governor Jay Inslee stated he was \"disturbed\" by the president's intentions as the nation's leader.\n\nThis week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the administration would keep its promise of cutting funding to jurisdictions that consider themselves \"sanctuary\" cities for immigrants. Seattle is one such city. Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes is confident that the city is following all the rules and won't be \"bullied.\"\n\nHoldeman noted that the funds at risk are those provided via the Emergency Management Agency for pre-disaster preparedness, mitigation, and homeland security projects. \"Whether it's buying equipment, doing training, doing disaster exercises like the 'Cascadia Rising' that was held last June — those are the funds that conceivably could be in jeopardy depending on what the administration chooses to do,\" Holdeman said.\n\n\"Cascadia Rising\" brought local and national agencies together to participate in earthquake drills.

In 2006, Arizona became the first state to reject an anti-gay constitutional amendment at the polls, although it passed a slightly less restrictive version of the same measure two years later. California and Connecticut became the second and third states to legalize same-sex marriage in 2008, though the initial victory in California was bittersweet and short-lived. Marriage equality first passed a state legislature in April 2009, thanks to the leadership of Vermont. Equal rights reached the massive state of New York two years later, and national public support started hitting the 50% mark around the same time. Finally, in November 2012, marriage equality won at the ballot box with simultaneous referendums in Maryland, Washington, and Maine.\n\nHowever, what about the states where equality was not legal, where the toxic combination of religious demographics and political tactics resulted in same-sex marriages being banned under constitutional law? Until 2010, I would have predicted, based on past precedent and reputation, that Wisconsin would be one of the first states to repeal such a measure. Thanks to the actions of my own neighbors and family, that was no longer possible. Oregon and Nevada were left as the most likely candidates for this course of action, while social progress in Wisconsin got sidelined indefinitely by a gerrymandered legislature pandering to the worst elements of Christian extremism and a governor who was convinced that he had divine guidance and acted out the wills of his god.\n\nDepressingly, similar scenarios existed in dozens of other states nationwide. Although Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was struck down, Section 2 and myriad state-level prohibitions remained in effect. This meant that even if same-sex couples had the right to exist at home, their marriages would be instantly dissolved any time they stepped beyond the state line.

United States, 293 F. 1014 (emphasis added))\n\nIn Daubert, the United States Supreme Court interpreted and applied the Federal Rules of Evidence to the question of the admissibility of scientific expert evidence. Daubert did not rest on an interpretation of the United States Constitution. As such, Daubert is not necessarily binding on the states. Many, but not all, states have adopted the Daubert test. Some states continue to employ the Frye test or a test similar to Frye. For a survey as of March 31, 2006, of the states that have adopted Daubert, see The Status of Daubert in State Courts, by Martin S. Kaufman of the Atlantic Legal Foundation.

The purpose of the courts' gatekeeper function is to allow judges to determine that the expert opinion testimony is both relevant and reliable before the jury (or the judge) is permitted to receive it into evidence. Following Daubert and Kumho, Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence was amended to take into account the Daubert factors. In addition, the admissibility of all expert testimony is governed by the principles of Rule 104(a). Under Rule 104(a), the proponent of the expert testimony has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the admissibility requirements have been met.\n\nRule 702 reads as follows: A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if: (a) the expert's scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue; (b) the testimony is based upon sufficient facts or data; (c) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods; and (d) the expert has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case.\n\nAs a threshold matter, under Rule 702 the proposed expert witness must be qualified in the scientific or technical field under inquiry.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9404, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6da3a6038bb92f810e5590c653221f1c830eea59", "raw_chars": 3496, "clean_chars": 3308, "edit_ratio": 0.0276, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The National Park Service has added two properties commemorating the history of America’s gays and lesbians to the National Register of Historic Places, including the Washington home of a separatist lesbian collective in the early 1970s.\n\nTuesday’s decision to add the Furies Collective, a Capitol Hill rowhouse in Southeast Washington, and San Juan’s Edificio Comunidad de Orgullo Gay de Puerto Rico comes as the Obama administration is making a concerted effort to recognize the contribution of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans to the nation’s past. President Obama is preparing to name Stonewall — the New York City site where gay rioters and police clashed in protests in 1969, considered a watershed moment in the gay rights movement — as a national monument as early as next month.\n\nIn a Facebook post, the Park Service noted that the Furies Collective, at 219 11th St. SE, was “home to a lesbian feminist collective that in the early 1970’s created and led the debate over lesbians’ place in American society.” It is the first historic landmark to specifically highlight the role of lesbians in U.S. society.\n\nGinny Berson, one of the original members of the 12-women collective, said she welcomed the designation because “lesbians, in particular, are so often forgotten when people talk about gay liberation and the gay movement.”\n\nThe D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board listed the red-brick rowhouse as a historic landmark on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in January.

They also studied other revolutions and how they had lost their way.

The function of the appendix is uncertain, but some sources believe it plays a role in housing a sample of the colon's microflora and can help repopulate the colon with bacteria if the microflora has been damaged during an immune reaction. The appendix has also been shown to have a high concentration of lymphatic cells.\n\nThe ascending colon is the first of four sections of the large intestine. It is connected to the small intestine by a section of bowel called the cecum. The ascending colon runs upwards through the abdominal cavity toward the transverse colon for approximately eight inches (20 cm). One of the main functions of the colon is to remove water and other key nutrients from waste material and recycle them. As waste material exits the small intestine through the ileocecal valve, it moves into the cecum and then to the ascending colon, where this process of extraction begins. The unwanted waste material is moved upwards toward the transverse colon by the action of peristalsis. The ascending colon is sometimes attached to the appendix via Gerlach's valve. In ruminants, the ascending colon is known as the spiral colon. Taking into account all ages and sexes, colon cancer occurs here most often (41%).\n\nThe transverse colon is the part of the colon from the hepatic flexure, also known as the right colic (the turn of the colon by the liver), to the splenic flexure, also known as the left colic (the turn of the colon by the spleen). The transverse colon hangs off the stomach, attached to it by a large fold of peritoneum called the greater omentum. On the posterior side, the transverse colon is connected to the posterior abdominal wall by a mesentery known as the transverse mesocolon. The transverse colon is encased in peritoneum and is therefore mobile, unlike the parts of the colon immediately before and after it. The proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon is perfused by the middle colic artery, a branch of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), while the latter third is supplied by branches of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). The \"watershed\" area between these two blood supplies, which represents the embryologic division between the midgut and hindgut, is an area sensitive to ischemia.\n\nThe descending colon is the part of the colon from the splenic flexure to the beginning of the sigmoid colon. One function of the descending colon in the digestive system is to store feces that will be emptied into the rectum. It is retroperitoneal in two-thirds of humans.

If you encounter a new coworker with a name you have never heard before, it is important to hold your tongue rather than labeling it as \"exotic.\" Using this word exoticizes the person you are referring to, often carrying nasty racial undertones. It is a major verbal microaggression that society needs to undo. \"Exotic\" is a term typically reserved for animals and plants, so it should not be applied to people.\n\nThe word \"ghetto\" is suspected to derive from an Italian slang term for waste, and it also calls back to the concentration camps of World War II.

The name \"sigmoid\" means S-shaped. The walls of the sigmoid colon are muscular and contract to increase the pressure inside the colon, which causes the stool to move into the rectum.\n\nThe sigmoid colon is supplied with blood from several branches, usually between two and six, of the sigmoid arteries, which are branches of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). The IMA terminates as the superior rectal artery.\n\nSigmoidoscopy is a common diagnostic technique used to examine the sigmoid colon.\n\nThe rectum is the last section of the large intestine. It holds formed feces awaiting elimination via defecation.\n\nThe large intestine features several distinct anatomical characteristics. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. The taeniae coli are three bands of smooth muscle that run the length of the large intestine. Because the taenia coli are shorter than the large bowel itself, the colon becomes sacculated, forming the haustra, which are shelf-like intraluminal projections. Haustra are bulges caused by the contraction of the taeniae coli. Epiploic appendages are small fat accumulations on the viscera.\n\nArterial supply to the colon comes from branches of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). Flow between these two systems communicates via a \"marginal artery\" that runs parallel to the colon for its entire length. Historically, it has been believed that the arc of Riolan, or the meandering mesenteric artery of Moskowitz, is a variable vessel connecting the proximal SMA to the proximal IMA that can be extremely important if either vessel is occluded. However, recent studies conducted with improved imaging technology have questioned the actual existence of this vessel, with some experts calling for the abolition of the terms from future medical literature.\n\nVenous drainage usually mirrors the colonic arterial supply. The inferior mesenteric vein drains into the splenic vein, and the superior mesenteric vein joins the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein, which then enters the liver.\n\nLymphatic drainage from the ascending colon and the proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon goes to the colic lymph nodes and the superior mesenteric lymph nodes, which drain into the cisterna chyli.

The team is looking to fill significant gaps in their starting rotation with a highly regarded right-hander who impressed scouts throughout the season.\n\nA source familiar with the Yankees' offseason strategy indicated that Tanaka is a top priority following the retirement of Andy Pettitte, the uncertain future of Hiroki Kuroda, and ongoing physical concerns regarding Michael Pineda and Manuel Banuelos. Acquiring Tanaka would not only bolster the rotation but also help appease a cautious fan base.\n\n\"The Yankees have seen him a lot,\" said a talent evaluator who watched the 24-year-old right-hander pitch for Japan's Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles late last month. \"Boston, Texas, and the Dodgers will be there, too. This guy is very good.\"\n\nTo assess Tanaka, the Yankees dispatched assistant general manager Billy Eppler and respected pro scout and former Seattle Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu to watch him pitch extensively this season. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman declined to comment on Thursday when asked about the team's interest in Tanaka.\n\nTanaka, who posted a 22-0 record with a 1.23 earned run average in the regular season for the Pacific League champions, is not yet eligible for free agency. He must go through the posting process, which cannot begin before November 1, coinciding with his 25th birthday. If the Japanese championship series extends to seven games, it will conclude on November 3.\n\nBased on opinions from several executives, the posting fee to the Golden Eagles is expected to be in the $60 million range. If a team accepts the bid, they are required to sign Tanaka to a contract. If they cannot reach an agreement, Tanaka returns to the Golden Eagles.\n\nA significant advantage for the Yankees, whose goal is to stay under the $189 million payroll threshold next season, is that the posting fee does not count toward a team's payroll. However, the player contract does, and it could be a five-year deal worth $60 million.\n\nWhat is Tanaka actually worth? One scout believes he is more valuable than Yu Darvish, who cost the Texas Rangers $111.7 million. The Rangers submitted a $60 million bid and then signed Darvish to a six-year deal worth $51.7 million.\n\n\"He is better than Darvish because he is a strike thrower,\" the scout said. \"Overall, Darvish's stuff might be a little bit better, but this guy knows how to pitch. He is like Kuroda; he has a lot of guts. He throws four pitches, but when it gets to stone-cutting time, it's fastball and splitter.\"\n\nLate in games this season, Tanaka's fastball reached 95 mph, and he features an overhand curveball that is 20 mph slower than his fastball. Some evaluators believe Tanaka could be the best pitcher ever to come from Japan.\n\nOf course, the Yankees have heard similar claims before. Hideki Irabu was hailed as the \"Nolan Ryan of Japan.\" He cost the Yankees $12.5 million in 1997, went 29-20 with a 4.80 ERA in 74 games, and never lived up to the hype. Compared to Kei Igawa, however, Irabu performed relatively well.\n\nThe left-handed Igawa cost the Yankees $26 million to post and then signed a five-year, $20 million deal. For a total of $46 million, the Yankees received a 2-4 record and a 6.66 ERA in 16 games from 2007 to 2008.\n\nThe Boston Red Sox are also aware of the high cost of bringing an elite pitcher from Japan to America. They bid $51.1 million for Daisuke Matsuzaka and then signed him to a six-year contract worth $52 million. For a total of $103.1 million, they received a 50-37 record. In his first two years, Matsuzaka went 33-15, but in the next four seasons, he was 17-22.

White and floury, and oddly difficult to find anywhere but the kind of baker that specialises in large, coconut-encrusted jam cakes, I'm in unknown bacon sarnie territory here – but it's a risk that pays off. Unlike my usual robust sourdough, which takes more chewing than the meat itself, the fluffiness of a bap is a lovely contrast to the crispness of the bacon while, as Tim observed, standing up sturdily to the weight of fillings and sauces. I'm not too happy with the flavour, or lack thereof, in the ones from the local bakers though, so I decide to make my own, based on a recipe from Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery: as a concession to the rich savouriness of the bacon, I've replaced some of the milk in the dough with water, cut the salt, and added a little brown sugar instead.\n\nThe bread question doesn't stop once the variety has been determined: there's also the matter of its preparation to address. I like a bit of crunch to my bread, which rules out leaving it in its natural state. But toasting both sides, as is my wont, makes things problematically crisp – you need a lot of tea to wash down a toasted bacon sandwich. Toasting one side, as fiercely recommended by many tweeters, is better, allowing the softer side to soak up some of the ambrosial bacon grease, but this is hard to achieve with a roll, where one side of each slice is covered in a soft crust.\n\nNigel suggests frying the bread briefly in the bacon fat before assembling the sandwich, which is a nice trick, but even better is Jamie's idea of charring it on the griddle – it picks up a little fat, a little crunch, and a lot of flavour, adding to the whole barbecue effect. I also try adding a little sugar to the pan to caramelise the bread lightly, as Dinan Gunawardena suggests on Twitter, but it smacks too much of French toast, a dish which made me violently sick aged 11 and has never since passed my lips.\n\nI'm going to keep my opinions firmly to myself when it comes to ketchup or brown sauce (mostly because I prefer mustard and marmalade myself, and I think I'm on my own there), but the array of weird and wonderful toppings suggested on Twitter deserve to be shared here. From @LadyVelo's maple syrup (which is actually pretty good – with a dollop of mustard, naturally) to @Helen_Barlett's mango chutney and smoked salmon, via salad cream, bananas and even smoked cheese, toppings really do seem to be very... individual.\n\nI'm with Tim on the liberal buttering of the bread though – the creamy blandness of sweet unsalted butter is an excellent foil to the bacon.

The court ordered Ambassador Daniele Mancini to remain in India and respond to a petition by March 18, raising questions about whether this action violated the envoy's diplomatic immunity.\n\nThe case centers on Italian sailors Salvatore Girone and Massimiliano Latorre, who were charged with killing the fishermen while on anti-piracy duty. India had summoned the Italian ambassador earlier in the week to protest Rome's decision not to send the two marines back to India to face trial. Separately, an Indian politician heading a regional party filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the Italian government regarding this decision.\n\nViplav Sharma, defense counsel for the Italian marines, confirmed the court's directive. \"The Chief Justice issued a notice to the Italian ambassador stating not to leave the country and has sought a reply from the ambassador by March 18,\" Sharma said.\n\nThe tension escalated after the Supreme Court had previously allowed Latorre and Girone to return to Italy for four weeks to vote in last month's general election, on the condition that they would return. They did not come back, and Italy's Foreign Ministry stated that the incident had become a formal dispute over United Nations laws. The sailors had arrived back in Italy on February 23, a day before the country's election, after the Supreme Court granted their request to exercise their right to vote.\n\nSubramanian Swamy, the politician who filed the petition, expressed outrage. \"The dispute has shaken the confidence of the people whether foreign powers can take our Supreme Court so lightly. It is a very serious contempt,\" he told reporters on Thursday.\n\nIn a long-awaited ruling in January, the Supreme Court determined that India had jurisdiction to try the marines. However, Italy has challenged this decision, arguing that the shooting occurred in international waters. Italy's announcement that the sailors would not return has sparked fury in India, causing an uproar in parliament and placing pressure on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government to respond forcefully.\n\nPrime Minister Singh issued an unusually strong statement on Wednesday, accusing Italy of violating \"every rule of diplomatic discourse\" and warning that if the sailors did not return, \"there will be consequences for our relations with Italy.\" Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid also addressed the media on Thursday, stating, \"We have to take steps, there is no question that we won't take any steps.

In response, the Madras High Court has sought a response from the current AIADMK-led state government.\n\nStudents in Chennai argue that the lack of exposure to Hindi and other languages negatively impacts their job prospects both within India and abroad.

Records show agents and police following a promising trail, hitting the house where the machine gun was reportedly hidden and finding ammunition that had been stolen along with the gun—a strong indication they were close. The documents and the timeline raise questions about whether efforts to recover the guns were hampered by a desire to preserve the storefront operation and keep an embarrassing episode quiet.\n\nBesides losing the guns, the operation was plagued by other missteps, a Journal Sentinel investigation found. The ATF storefront, called Fearless Distributing, was burglarized of what agents reported was nearly $40,000 in merchandise. An ATF ballistic shield was lost, and at least three wrong suspects were charged, including one who was in prison at the time. In addition, agents left behind sensitive documents, damaged the building, and ran up utility bills, then refused to pay the landlord and warned him against pursuing the matter.\n\nIn the wake of the Journal Sentinel investigation, a bipartisan group of powerful congressional members termed the sting a \"failed operation\" that put a residential area at risk. On Wednesday, four lawmakers sent another letter to acting ATF Director B. Todd Jones, demanding answers by the following week.\n\nThe ATF launched an internal investigation into the operation and forwarded it to the Justice Department for review. It is expected to be completed soon. An ATF spokeswoman said there would be no comment on the Milwaukee operation until that investigation is released.\n\nThe Department of Justice's inspector general is considering his own independent examination into the operation, concerned about the lack of oversight so soon after the agency's flawed \"Fast and Furious\" case. In that operation, agents monitored the sale of more than 2,000 guns to gun traffickers but lost track of them, with many of the weapons ending up at crime scenes, including the one where a U.S. border guard was killed.\n\nIn Milwaukee, the plan was to buy illegal guns and take them off the street.

In a little-noticed development, members of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) approved a resolution at its conference last month urging the organization's board of directors to investigate working with other research organizations and medical stakeholders to reclassify cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 2. This reclassification would facilitate research opportunities for both veterinary and human medical uses.\n\nThe organization, founded in 1863 and representing more than 89,000 veterinarians across the United States, is also being encouraged by its members to develop and distribute literature on marijuana's legal status, research on its medical uses, and the signs, symptoms, and treatment of cannabis toxicosis in animals. These moves come amid dual trends: a growing interest in cannabis's potential to provide relief to dogs, cats, and other animals suffering from pain, and a rise in media reports about accidental pet ingestion of marijuana products.\n\nAVMA members are concerned that cannabis's current classification under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act—a category reserved for drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value—has blocked research into its effects. \"As the national association, we at least need to write a letter and ask the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] to approve the research,\" Dr. Richard Sullivan told assembled AVMA delegates at the conference. \"Clients are asking us, and it's our obligation morally and ethically to address these cases. We need the research, and we need our national association to represent us at the FDA and get things moving... and get some action done, soon.\"\n\nDr. Michael Ames pointed out that while a growing number of states allow medical or recreational marijuana use by humans, those policies are silent when it comes to veterinary applications for cannabis. \"So while it may be legal for you to use yourself, it's not legal to prescribe it to animals,\" he told fellow AVMA members.\n\nDespite the extra hurdles that Schedule I imposes for research on marijuana, there are at least some studies investigating its potential to help animals.

When you listen to the radio, you hear claims about sexual prowess that simply aren't true. You didn't do what you're claiming to have done. We want to return to authentic R&B, where artists admit to making mistakes and express a desire to give a relationship another chance.

My second single is called \"Rock\". You have never heard an uptempo song from Lyfe before, but this is an uptempo track. Let me tell you, this is the step anthem of the year.

Between 2009 and 2013, the top 1 percent captured at least half of all income growth in 24 states, and in 15 of those states, they captured all of the income growth. In another 10 states, incomes for the top 1 percent grew in the double digits while incomes for the bottom 99 percent fell. For the United States overall, the top 1 percent captured 85.1 percent of total income growth between 2009 and 2013. By 2013, the top 1 percent of families nationally earned 25.3 times as much as the bottom 99 percent.\n\nRising inequality is not just a story of those in the financial sector in the greater New York City metropolitan area reaping outsized rewards from speculation in financial markets. While New York and Connecticut are the most unequal states, as measured by the ratio of top 1 percent to bottom 99 percent income in 2013, nine states, 54 metropolitan areas, and 165 counties have gaps wider than the national average. In fact, unequal income growth since the late 1970s has pushed the top 1 percent’s share of all income above 24 percent—the 1928 national peak share—in five states, 22 metropolitan areas, and 75 counties.\n\nThe rise of top incomes relative to the bottom 99 percent represents a sharp reversal of the trend that prevailed in the mid-20th century. Between 1928 and 1979, the share of income held by the top 1 percent declined in every state except Alaska, where the top 1 percent held a relatively low share of income throughout the period. This earlier era was characterized by a rising minimum wage, low levels of unemployment after the 1930s, widespread collective bargaining in private industries such as manufacturing, transportation, telecommunications, and construction, and a cultural and political environment in which it was considered outrageous for executives to receive outsized bonuses while laying off workers. We need policies that return the economy to full employment, return bargaining power to U.S. workers, and reinstate the cultural taboo on allowing CEOs and financial-sector executives at the commanding heights of the private economy to appropriate more than their fair share of the nation’s expanding economic pie.\n\nWhile economic inequality has been one of the hottest topics of this presidential campaign season, much of the focus has been on the fortunes of the top 1 percent at the national level.

But we are also not superior to them, and to suggest otherwise, however indirectly, is to succumb to seductive but dangerous mythologies that will inevitably lead to destruction—ours as well as theirs.\n\nCommunities built upon the bones of the ravaged and ransacked can only be vicious and, therefore, lifeless, doomed to return to the dust from whence they came.

It merely makes us human. We are not metal and stone to be banged upon and chipped away, sharper and more slender than before.

It comes from an untold weariness and battle fatigue. It comes out of the harrowing realization that we are relatively powerless against the onslaught and have few options aside from acquiescence, amnesty, or suicide. For us, “we forgive you,” as my friend Tiffany Jones suggested when I shared my blues with her, is a less agonizing articulation of “we are afraid of you” or “please don’t hurt us.” And our fears are justified. We have witnessed, for far too long really, the disaster and disarray of which those who call themselves civilized are capable and we know how contagious that chaos has proved to be. Forgiveness is an appeal to people’s hearts and good sense. But what do you do when facing the horror of a heartless, senseless people?\n\nWhere does this leave us? Does this mean that we must return to the riverside and retrieve our swords and shields? I do not know. I do not even know if our weapons formed against them shall prosper; those were their god’s words after all. But I do know that as divided as we are, we do not have even the slightest of chances of withstanding the miseries they unleash. And I do know that we cannot be afraid to speak these truths merely because white people will surely take them out of context to use for their own nefarious purposes. That is their folly, but it does not have to be ours.\n\nTo love one another—and here, I do not mean love in the sense that you might find distorted in a Hollywood film or misused in a Hallmark card—is to hold each other accountable and be held accountable, to insist upon the humanity of others and of yourself, to refuse to reduce someone else to make yourself feel grander. Love is not merely the presence of fond feeling any more than war is the absence of it. Love is another word for obligation. To love, truly, you must be in everlasting combat against your own desire to dominate those who might not have your strength, resources, or status. And this is the way of the universe: for every action, there is a repercussion. Know yours; know it intimately.\n\nAmerica is hell—distinct from other hells around the world, sure; sometimes appearing heavenly on the surface, but it is hell nevertheless. I do not know if we can make it out.

Then, and only then, will I be as certain as Morrison that the indoctrination was a failure.

The children live in cramped shelters, watch television, and learn the alphabet from volunteers of the Trust, often visitors from other countries. The Salaam Balak Trust receives a steady stream of these overseas volunteers. Once the children turn 18, they must leave or join other shelters, such as those run by Prayas in a central Delhi park.

They only became champions of free trade after achieving competitiveness or dominance in global markets through those earlier protectionist policies. This historical pattern applies to the UK, the US, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea.\n\nFree Trade vs. Smart Trade: Static vs. Dynamic Advantages—the Case of the UK\n\nBefore achieving international market superiority in the second half of the eighteenth century, the UK diligently avoided free trade doctrine. Instead, it relied heavily on Mercantilist policies to secure economic gains in global markets. This approach meant that the British government played an active role in mobilizing and channeling both domestic and external economic resources toward industrialization and national development. Colonial policies involving territorial conquest and the transfer of resources to England were a major component of the Mercantilist theory of industrialization. Equally important were the strict policies protecting British industries from international rivals, particularly the Dutch manufacturers, who were at the time more efficient than their British counterparts.\n\nMore than two centuries of Mercantilist policies helped England achieve international economic superiority by the second half of the eighteenth century. However, the combination of this industrial dominance and the disproportionately high cost of maintaining a vast colonial apparatus led many leading British elites to suggest an alternative to Mercantilism in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They sought a new approach to pursuing international economic gains.\n\nThis alternative view, most effectively expounded by well-respected economic thinkers of the time such as Josiah Tucker, Adam Smith, and David Ricardo, maintained that Britain’s ability to dominate international markets through competitive market forces made Mercantilist policies, along with most of its colonial military and administrative apparatus, superfluous.\n\nThe question British manufacturers and their political representatives in Parliament grappled with at this time was how to end Mercantilist policies and formal colonial ties, and cut enormous costs, without disturbing the existing pattern of trade specialization that England had methodically established as a result of two centuries of successful Mercantilist policies. The essence of that trade specialization pattern, also known as the international division of labor, consisted of Britain supplying its satellite trading partners with manufactured products in exchange for their minerals and raw materials.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9498, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "85588d3d4415af48ca892492313bc38c518fd39e", "raw_chars": 995, "clean_chars": 1167, "edit_ratio": 0.7715, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Environment Canada has issued a warning that a dangerous thunderstorm could impact the Ottawa-Gatineau area as early as Saturday afternoon.

Indeed, undermining those constitutional rights serves only to concede to the terrorists' demands of changing the fabric of what has made the United States of America a republic granting the greatest number of people the greatest amount of liberty, justice, security, opportunity, prosperity, happiness, peace, and good ever known or experienced by humankind throughout the history of the world.\"\n\nMichael Maharrey, Communications Director for the Tenth Amendment Center, commented on the bill's significance: \"By taking a stand, Washington can join those heroic state officials who stood up against federal power to protect black citizens in the waning years of slavery.\"\n\nSeveral other states, including Virginia and Tennessee, are also considering legislation to nullify the NDAA provision.

The \"DPR\" checkpoint commander asked an SMM monitor to show his passport and requested a more thorough inspection of the language assistant traveling with the SMM. The conversation lasted about ten minutes, after which the SMM was allowed to proceed.\n\nAt the office of the Joint Centre for Control and Co-operation (JCCC) in Krasnohorivka, located 17 kilometers west of Donetsk city, the SMM met with officers from the Ukrainian and Russian General Staffs. They stated that the workflow, needs, and staffing levels had remained unchanged. The officers also reported that on 25 November, they heard shelling several times and had reported these incidents through their chains of command to their colleagues at the JCCC headquarters in Debaltseve.\n\nThe SMM then attended a meeting with the deputy mayor of Krasnohorivka, members of the village council, and local inhabitants. During the meeting, they discussed the current situation in the town with the Ukrainian and Russian JCCC officers. The deputy mayor explained that a ceasefire was necessary to repair a damaged gas pipeline from Mariinka. The repair was urgently needed to restore heating, as the absence of heat had forced schools to close. The Ukrainian and Russian officers mentioned that they had raised the issue through their chains of command with the JCCC headquarters in Debaltseve, but so far without result.\n\nOn its way to the JCCC office in Shkatarsk, 56 kilometers east of Donetsk city, the SMM observed a convoy of ten unmarked, camouflaged trucks—a mixture of URAL and KAMAZ makes—near Khartzysk on the H21 road, 28 kilometers west of Donetsk city. The convoy was moving westwards in the direction of Donetsk city.\n\nIn Zaporizhzhia, 67 kilometers south of Dnipropetrovsk, the SMM met with the head and deputy head of the \"Freedom Movement of the Strength of the Nation\" (Vyzvolnyi Rukh Sila Natsiy). This organization was created to replace the local branch of the \"Right Sector\" after the latter was disbanded by the national \"Right Sector\" leadership on 9 November. The interlocutors stated that the new organization, which maintains the same ideology as the \"Right Sector,\" would continue \"pro-environmental\" actions against the Zaporozhstal industrial plant and other \"polluting plants\" in Zaporizhzhia.\n\nOn 26 November, the SMM visited the administrative boundary line at Stavki/Kalanchak, 85 kilometers south of Kherson. At this location, the Ukrainian crossing point's customs inspection and border control facilities had recently been moved one kilometer south-east of their previous location, as noted in the Daily Report of 16 November. According to customs representatives, the new location and improved infrastructure allow Ukrainian customs to process up to 200 trucks per day. The SMM was informed that improvements at the new Ukrainian facilities included two inbound and two outbound lanes, as well as passport and customs control points on both sides of the road.\n\nIn Lviv, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Odessa, the situation remained calm.\n\nOn 26 November in Kyiv, in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, the SMM observed a peaceful rally organized by 30 young male and female activists.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein sought to extend the drama of the 2016 election cycle by pursuing recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. While Wisconsin agreed to proceed with a recount, officials stated they would not conduct a hand recount, prompting Stein to file a lawsuit. Pennsylvania presented an even greater obstacle for Stein, as the deadline for a voter-initiated recount had already passed. Consequently, Stein would need to challenge the results in court, where she would be required to present evidence of hacking or voter fraud. The former claim serves as the primary catalyst for this recount effort, yet there is a significant problem: there is no evidence of hacking. The Obama administration confirmed that there was no suspicious increase in cyber activity suggesting that hacking occurred on election night. Without evidence, the judge refused to honor the Stein-Clinton request for a hand recount.\n\nDane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn stated that the effort to force a hand recount did not meet the state's legal standard for prohibiting the use of machines during the recount. She noted that the two campaigns failed to show that a hand recount, while more thorough, was necessary, nor did they provide clear and convincing evidence of fraud or other problems. Bailey-Rihn acknowledged there were good reasons to conduct a hand recount but found no legal basis to mandate it. \"I follow the law. That's who I am despite my personal opinions,\" Bailey-Rihn said. \"It's the counties' decision. It's their discretion. I may disagree with it … but I must follow the law.\"\n\nDebbie Greenberger, an attorney for the Stein campaign, expressed uncertainty about whether her side would appeal but hoped county clerks would heed the judge's praise for a hand recount, even though Bailey-Rihn did not mandate it. \"We hope the county boards will take the judge's strong statement to heart,\" Greenberger said.\n\nStein further claimed that Wisconsin's voting machines were illegal, a statement that left-leaning fact-checker PolitiFact rated as a \"pants on fire\" lie. The recount results were not expected to change the outcome significantly, perhaps shifting only a couple of hundred votes, meaning Donald Trump would remain the winner of Wisconsin's electoral votes. He had won the election, period.\n\nQuestions arose regarding whether this was a Clinton campaign-funded operation. While there was no direct evidence to suggest this, it was notable that the Clinton campaign joined the effort despite finding no evidence of voter fraud, hacking, or other outside forces that would prompt them to file a recount petition independently. Additionally, Stein was aware that any votes Trump lost would benefit Clinton, not her. Stein had raised a significant amount of cash since the recount effort began, with nearly $7 million raised—more than she had fundraised for her entire presidential campaign.

Web development has been his full-time job since 2011, during which he has worked in various agencies and handled multiple tasks, including design, development, and brand identity.\n\nHe also works as a freelancer and has completed several impressive projects on his own, which can be viewed on his website.\n\nBeyond his professional work, Kristopher combines his skills with his hobbies to build passion projects, such as Pretty Fly FPV. This venture gave him the opportunity to use his preferred tools for his online store, specifically Hugo as the site generator and Snipcart as the e-commerce solution.\n\nThe new online store allows camera drone pilots to customize their FPV (First-Person View) equipment. Offering colorful goggle straps and lanyards for all tastes, it presents an original concept for an up-and-coming industry. Quality is at the forefront of Pretty Fly FPV's products, making it a must-visit for any camera drone enthusiast.\n\nWe were excited to hear from Kristopher that he enjoyed working with Snipcart for his e-commerce needs. \"This is my hobby project, so the reasoning was second to none for choosing Snipcart,\" he explained.\n\nThe site serves as a great example of the customizability and creative power that Snipcart offers to developers. Additionally, it was built using the static site generator Hugo. Given our love for the JAMstack and the fact that we recently covered a Hugo integration with a tutorial on our blog, the project sounded particularly interesting. Kristopher was actually inspired by our blog when deciding to use Snipcart, prompting us to learn more about his experience.\n\nSnipcart Integration: Technical Interview with Kristopher\n\nDo you have experience with e-commerce in general? If so, which tools have you been using the most in your workflows, and why?\n\nAs a professional front-end designer and developer, I have extensive experience with a wide range of e-commerce solutions. I have worked with full systems like OpenCart and Magento, WordPress WooCommerce solutions, and even collaborated with large teams to develop custom solutions. Each tool is utilized in scenarios that cater to the specific client's needs and budget.\n\nFrom my personal experience, many of these full content management systems were bloated and often went unused after the site was launched, aside from by the contracted developer or team, due to the steep learning curve associated with each.\n\nHow would you qualify the e-commerce needs for this project?\n\nPretty Fly FPV started as a passion project of mine, given my enthusiasm for the industry. With my particular skill set, the needs for this project boiled down to simplicity on all fronts, from integration and management to overall ease of use. As a developer, I simply wanted a system without the bloated server requirements, such as a VPS, that even the simplest solutions often demand.\n\nI knew I would need some mild dynamic elements and that the site could expand rapidly, so a standard static solution wouldn't suffice.

At a conference last December, Sachin Bansal, co-founder and executive chairman of Flipkart, suggested that the Indian government should follow China's lead from 15 years prior by telling the world, \"We need your capital, but we don't need your companies.\"\n\nBhavish Aggarwal, the CEO and founder of Ola, who was also in attendance at that conference, echoed Bansal's sentiment. \"There is a narrative of innovation that non-Indian companies espouse, but the real fight is on capital, not innovation. The markets are being distorted by capital,\" Aggarwal stated at the time.\n\nThese views received a mixed response from industry leaders, with some pointing out the irony that both Flipkart and Ola have raised significant capital from foreign firms. Nevertheless, some argue that the stakes are too high for the government to remain inactive.\n\nVivek Wadhwa, a tech entrepreneur and distinguished fellow at Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering, warned CNBC, \"If the government doesn't wake up, it will see Silicon Valley kill off a large segment of its entrepreneurship ecosystem and challenge its leading retail and technology companies.\" He added, \"Foreign companies will gather massive amounts of private data about every Indian citizen — even more than the Indian government has. Facebook and Google will have the tools to sway Indian public opinion and affect elections. This is dangerous for any democracy.\" Wadhwa believes the government should learn from China, which he says realized early on that allowing Silicon Valley giants to dominate its internet would harm local companies. Today, Chinese companies like Tencent and Alibaba are rivals to Silicon Valley, with Tencent recently hitting a market capitalization of $500 billion.\n\nEchoing these concerns, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder of the e-commerce and electronic payment company Paytm, recently posted on Twitter that \"India is effectively letting modern world East India Companies own its Internet.\"\n\nAlibaba-backed Paytm is facing increasing competition from global services. Its wallet application, used by over 200 million users in India, has seen strong growth recently, but other companies are looking to enter the market. Google introduced its Tez payments app for India in September and has already amassed 12 million customers. Additionally, Facebook's WhatsApp, which is used by more than 200 million users in India, is reportedly considering plans to integrate a payment option into its app. Paytm declined to comment for this story.\n\nHowever, some warn that replicating China's approach could go terribly wrong. Prasanto Roy, vice president and head of the Internet, Mobile and E-commerce Council at the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), stated, \"It is counterproductive to look at China selectively and cherry-pick parts of protectionism we like.\" Roy emphasized that \"protectionism is a double-edged sword and any attempt at raising trade barriers could hurt more than help India if there is reciprocal action.\" He added, \"Keep in mind that the $150 billion IT industry, two-thirds of which consists of software and services exports, is premised on an open, non-protectionist global marketplace.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9541, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3f48c986ea2cffc522fd3b2a13bf0965e9a4bcd9", "raw_chars": 819, "clean_chars": 811, "edit_ratio": 0.7043, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Fitzgerald stated that he has requested officials in the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service (INIS) to review the current policy regarding the migration of non-EEA retirees to Ireland.

This is not necessarily a technical expertise, but rather a natural curiosity and a willingness to be available to help when needed. These individuals can listen to what people do not say. They possess an ability, often honed through self-training, to perceive, integrate, and understand emotion, and to regulate it in a way that promotes growth. They excel at self-awareness and trusting their gut feelings.\n\nFinders are also adept at relationship management, using it as an adjunct to, or even a replacement for, the skills taught in law school.\n\nHowever, it is important to note that what I have not mentioned as a prerequisite for being a great finder is formal experience. As Jacob Stein recently pointed out, the experience that truly matters is the kind described by Aldous Huxley: \"Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and coordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.\"\n\nIf you are self-conscious, diffident, or reticent, do not worry. These are likely the best qualities for becoming a great finder. We all suffer from a certain reticence, but the only way to overcome it is to get out there and make yourself available.\n\nIn fact, being a little hesitant, demurred, modest, or sedate can be an advantage. Nobody likes an in-your-face lawyer or an unrestrained cheerleader. Such lawyers come across as hucksters, and people actively try to avoid them.\n\nAll that is required is to always be there, to try to be helpful, and to gently follow up.\n\nPerhaps that is the problem to some extent. It is difficult to convince yourself that you can be both reserved and talkative, or unassertive and confident. I tend to think of it simply as being yourself among friends at the kitchen table.\n\nThe trait I have found in finders is not that they are not shy, restrained, nervous, humble, or retiring; it is that they are there. If you wish to represent builders, for example, you will find that many attorneys are members of the local builders' association. However, you will not find many who are always present—at the meetings, at the luncheons, and at continuing education events—passively making contacts, building friendships, and remembering information, all while remaining modest. Most attorneys simply pay their dues.\n\nSurely these people, groups, organizations, and associations already have established relationships. But these relationships are always in a state of flux. You have to be there when these people and groups want a change.\n\nThe point is that when people talk about an oversupply of lawyers, they are talking about grinders. They are sometimes talking about minders. But there are very few attorneys who have a \"book of business\" and who are, or aspire to be, finders. If you are primarily in the latter category, you will never have too much competition.\n\nSo, what do you want to be? A finder? A minder? Or a grinder?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9549, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4798db6f0339898c7c2a7eabefaa2459de5fd0cf", "raw_chars": 2924, "clean_chars": 2519, "edit_ratio": 0.562, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We have made significant progress with John J.

You will also need Firebug 1.5 to test the extension. In an update, we confirmed that all necessary APIs for Eventbug have been backported to Firefox 3.6b3pre.\n\nThis extension introduces a new Events panel that lists all event handlers on the page, grouped by event type. The panel integrates seamlessly with other Firebug panels, allowing you to quickly identify which HTML element is associated with a specific event listener or view the JavaScript source code.\n\nThe Events panel displays the content of the event listeners alongside three side panels. These side panels are synchronized based on the selected listener in the main content area. The Targets panel shows a list of event targets that would be used as DOMEvent.currentTarget when the event bubbles. All targets are clickable and navigate the user to the HTML panel. The Script panel displays the source code of the selected listener. The HTML panel shows the HTML code of the element associated with the selected listener.\n\nThe extension also registers a new Events side-panel within the HTML panel. In this context, the Events side panel shows all registered event listeners for the selected HTML element.\n\nFor the best experience, we recommend using Firefox 3.7a1pre, Firebug 1.5b1, and Eventbug 0.1a2.\n\nEventbug is still in the alpha phase and has some known issues. The panel is not automatically updated if listeners are dynamically appended or removed during user actions. You must manually click the Refresh button in the toolbar to update the list. This will be fixed once bug #524674 is resolved, thanks to Smaug.\n\nIf a listener is defined using an HTML attribute (e.g., click=\"alert('hello world!')\"), the source code is not compiled until the listener is actually executed due to Firefox optimization. The Eventbug UI does not reflect this, which can cause links to a listener's source code to fail. The link should be disabled if the script object is not available.

Resistance means defeating the Republican Party and the neo-fascists grouped in and around the Trump administration.\n\nLuckily, the resistance has also given rise to not only a rekindling of democratic and progressive activism but also a demonstrable shift to the left.

And of course, Bernie's campaign put the socialist idea on breakfast, dinner, and barroom tables all across the country.\n\nThe party is growing\n\nNeedless to say, this has created a new situation for the building of our party. We are happy to report that we are beginning to do just that, with over 1,000 new members joining since the election. This recruitment started almost by accident. We posted an image of the party's membership card on Facebook, and almost immediately a few hundred joined.\n\nWe are also happy to report that people are joining face-to-face, sometimes in groups.

In Houston, the party club has developed a practice of regularly asking people to join at demonstrations, picket lines, and events. They first ask them to sign a petition, then walk them over to the table, where they are told, \"You should be a member of the Communist Party,\" and asked to join. This year, 63 have joined using this method, and the number is still counting. In St. Louis, New Haven, and Los Angeles, clubs have developed ties with potential members through their involvement in labor, community, and elections campaigns. They have employed discussion groups, cultural activities, and PeoplesWorld.org to invite and convince people to join.\n\nIn keeping with our concept of building the party around PeoplesWorld.org, cpusa.org, and mass communications, we have also stepped up our efforts in this area.

The team is collaborating with leading chipset and USB manufacturers in Asia to create a drive capable of withstanding the intensive read/write operations required to run an operating system, ensuring it is one of the fastest USB drives available.\n\nAs a shared folder, StormFly functions as a standard but remarkably fast USB device. When inserted into a PC or Mac running a native operating system, it appears as a shared folder. This same folder is visible when running the operating system directly from StormFly, allowing for easy data transfer between StormFly and other machines while serving as a robust storage solution.\n\nSecurity is a priority with StormFly, which features 128-bit encryption, an industry-standard protocol that is difficult to crack. All users are required to set a password during the boot process to ensure the security of their data.\n\nStormFly includes an optional backup service. If the device is lost or stolen, user information is safely backed up on an encrypted server, excluding data stored in the shared folder. This service allows the company to ship an exact copy of the user's StormFly within 24 hours. The backup service costs $19.99 per year. If a replacement is needed, the new StormFly will be restored from the last backup, preserving the password and other settings, and will cost $49. Users are not required to purchase the backup service to use StormFly.\n\nThe company plans to reduce the cost of StormFly over time, meaning the replacement price will decrease as the base price drops.\n\nOpen source principles are central to the company's philosophy. All products have been developed on Linux, and the team has contributed extensively to the open-source community. They believe software should be free, while hardware and professional services should be commercially viable with a strong focus on customer support. Although the device may initially support only a limited number of operating systems, the long-term goal is to enable StormFly to run every Linux distribution globally.

In more detail, StormFly is a super-fast storage device with an open-source operating system embedded in a wristband. The operating system is bootable on most modern PCs and Macs and is powered by our smart-boot technology. When inserted into any computer and rebooted, the computer runs directly from the operating system on StormFly. This allows you to take your operating system and critical data with you wherever you go and use it on whatever PC or Mac is available.\n\nStormFly lets you take application programs and files anywhere without the need to carry a bulky and heavy laptop. It is also encrypted to protect all the critical data you put on it. Additionally, StormFly comes with an automatic backup service. If you lose it or it gets stolen, we can send you a new one with all the files and applications that were saved on the home folder within 24 hours.\n\nWe are super excited about the coverage we have been receiving from the media. If you want to read the articles, please scroll down.\n\nRewards Update: If a reward does not specifically state that StormFly is 32GB, then it is the 16GB version. Unfortunately, after a reward is live, we cannot update the text on Kickstarter.\n\nStormFly: Like a PC on your wrist.\n\nWho are we and what are we about?\n\nNow Computing started as an alternative to cloud computing. Despite all the hype around the cloud, there are over 300 million PCs shipping every year, which means there is still a heck of a lot of local computing happening in the world. The cloud can be cumbersome, slow, sometimes ugly, and not always available. We started out designing business devices for companies to move operating systems from PC to PC locally and securely.\n\nWhen our kids saw those business devices, they wanted to use them. Even kids do not see the cloud as the answer to everything. The idea of having their own operating system, including programs, games, and information, on a device for use on whatever computer they can find was something they found cool. Nowadays, they have access to a lot of computers. So, we changed our entire company focus to developing StormFly.\n\nWe are looking to Kickstarter to help get us off the ground. We need to raise $100,000 to fund our first manufacturing run. This money will help us get to market, improve our product, tell people our story, and get us ready to expand our business.\n\nHow does StormFly work?\n\nIt is pretty simple: plug it into your PC or Mac, reboot the computer (directing it to StormFly with some simple commands), and then the operating system on StormFly runs the computer you are using. The operating system of the computer itself, whether Mac or PC, does not even turn on, which makes it pretty hard to mess things up.\n\nWe make this happen with a bunch of code, scripts, and drivers that enable StormFly to work on many different hardware platforms. Although some DIY technology experts might be able to create a Linux bootable USB device themselves, StormFly offers a lot more due to its speed, boot options, updatability, and ability to store user data and applications as if it were a PC. This makes it a solution for any consumer, regardless of their technical capability.

As Heather Mallick suggests, a wise patient might want to read reliable scientific reports on its efficacy rather than rely on the looniness of social media.\n\nThe Gardasil vaccine story reported Thursday by David Bruser and Jesse McLean of the Toronto Star was about information, and access to it. It was not about the drug itself, which is safe and effective, but about parents and girls not always being told what they need to know in order to make informed decisions, and being dismissed by doctors when they became terribly ill. Many hundreds of thousands of teenage girls in Canada have been safely given the three-dose vaccine, but since 2008 at least 60 have suffered convulsions or disabling pain afterwards. It is not clear why, but it is worth noting and investigating, as the story said repeatedly. Their suffering matters. These girls are worth listening to.\n\nBut some people are saying the Star shouldn't have run the story because it might help the anti-vaxxer cause. This overreaction is a sign of our agitated times, proof that people will react to a phrase or a sentence rather than reading an extended list of facts. On Twitter, I and others warn people not to retweet something without reading it first in its entirety. Do they do this? No, they do not. I have to leave Twitter. I will.\n\nTweeters complained about things the Star story did not say. They said it was overblown, asking what the pain of a few teenage girls is, and ill-timed in the midst of news about a measles epidemic caused by panicky anti-vaxxers, mostly in the U.S., who say the MMR vaccine causes autism, which it doesn't. It is like saying we shouldn't report close calls in the air because most planes land safely. The Star can't censor itself to suit an alarmist news agenda. To do so would be to assume its readers are stupid, and that is how journalism self-harms. We live in a country of silence and official secrecy, where institutions from governments to medical colleges are obliged to reveal almost nothing about spending, competence, and safety. Information, invariably extracted slowly with tongs, is always good.\n\nOn Thursday, Public Health Ontario revealed that the fifth person in Toronto to come down with measles was fully vaccinated. Vaccines don't always work. I am on my third whooping cough vaccine and know to my cost that whooping cough is a terrible illness in adults. It can kill infants. The flu vaccine this year didn't work according to plan as viruses mutated, and there is the puzzling fact that the vaccines seem to have made some people more vulnerable in subsequent years.

In fact, some are essential and tell the web servers whether or not you are logged in and which account you are logged into. This ensures that potentially sensitive information is not shown to the wrong person. And if a website has stored a cookie on your computer, other websites cannot just access the data in that cookie.\n\nCookies are limited in size, so they cannot hold a lot of information. Some websites save cookies on your computer that have a unique identifier in them, like a barcode for your computer. This code matches with one for data saved on their own systems, meaning they can store unlimited data about you and your browsing.\n\nSome parts of a webpage you visit are actually part of another website entirely, such as those annoying, often repetitive adverts you see everywhere.

To avoid this, you could log into social media via a different browser, or via your browser's private, hidden, or incognito windows or tabs, which will keep your social media cookie separate.\n\nPutting all your eggs in one basket can be risky, and a failure in just one company's security could expose all your other accounts.

Mail clients offer much more functionality and customization.\n\nSpecifically, we suggest using Mozilla Thunderbird, as it is free and open-source, along with the PGP applications Mozilla recommends: GnuPG and Enigmail. The Thunderbird website provides a good guide to setting everything up, so we will just run through a summary.\n\nFirst, set up Thunderbird if you are not already using it. This involves inputting your email address and password, along with any additional required information. Then, install the other two pieces of software. Once everything is set up, you can generate your pair of keys. You will hear this often, but never give anyone your private key. If they obtain it, they can read all your emails and forge your digital signature. Thunderbird can store your private key, password-protected and encrypted, and it can send your public key directly to your friends. It also handles receiving and storing public keys from other people. Furthermore, it can upload your public key to a database so others can find it automatically without you having to share it each time. Likewise, it can download public keys from these databases for the people you wish to email.\n\nAnother potential problem with sending secret messages that only the recipient can read is verifying the recipient's identity. What if the recipient is not who they claim to be? This is easily resolved if you will see the person in person; they can simply state, \"Hi, I'm Sam, and this is definitely my public key.\" In other circumstances, such as when using a public database of keys, you may have to rely on the \"web of trust.\" Simply put, this is a network of people who vouch for each other using their digital signatures. If you know Sam is really Sam and Joe is really Joe, you can look at the web of trust and see that they both vouch for Sally's identity, allowing you to be fairly certain of it yourself. While you are at it, you can also vouch for Sam and Joe.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9599, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e91c4411ab851f58f0c1d11c2a8a1ce368f0d78f", "raw_chars": 3260, "clean_chars": 3189, "edit_ratio": 0.4669, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "TechCrunch is heading to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland to explore how technology is reshaping the global economy. We will be speaking with heads of state and industry leaders about what many are calling the next industrial revolution.

We will have an incredible venue, the English Church of St. Luke (Freie Evangelische Gemeinde Davos), located right by the conference centre. This will enable us to grab interviews with passing politicians or tech moguls. Inside, we will have a 'TechCrunch Cafe' partnered with Tradeshift, a startup from Europe and San Francisco. We will also be holding a reception for the tech community featuring 'fireside' interviews and discussions, along with a daily programme of video interviews throughout our stay. If you have questions about TechCrunch at Davos, you can use me as an initial point of contact at mike@beta.techcrunch.com.\n\nIn the lead-up to the WEF at Davos, we decided to speak with a couple of heads of government to find out what they think about the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' of technology.\n\nThe first is Andrej Kiska, President of Slovakia, who discusses on camera the impact of the technology revolution on his country. He is also Slovakia's first president since 1993 to have no links to its communist past, sending a message internationally that the country is undergoing a clear transition towards the global economy.\n\nKiska is no stranger to technology. As a former electrical engineer and entrepreneur, he admits he never thought he would see Slovakia produce the world's first genuine flying car, the AeroMobil. Despite being a small country in Europe with a population of 5 million, entrepreneurs there are increasingly thinking globally, and Kiska has been advocating an innovative agenda since he came to power in 2014.\n\nSlovakia currently has a large part of its economy tied up in automobile production, but the knock-on effect of that could be positive for the technology startup world. This week at CES, for example, has seen an enormous boom in the combination of cars and technology.\n\nWhile Kiska admits that some of the country's educational institutions still require work in how they produce technology entrepreneurs, he is optimistic that this can be addressed. Kiska is highly unusual in politics, having been a successful entrepreneur who gave the profits of his business away to charity before running for and winning the presidency. He is a president who happily turns up to the launch of startup co-working spaces in Bratislava, the capital.\n\nSlovakia faces the same security threats as any European nation at the moment, but Kiska believes there needs to be a compromise between the need for state security and safety on the one hand, and the rights of citizens to privacy on the other.\n\nBratislava's startup scene is heating up. The Slovakian capital has a young, active startup scene amidst its mix of old and new architecture lining the Danube river.

The MIDI files are read using python-midi and converted into a text corpus based on specific rules involving temporal quantization and simplification. Some notes are omitted, and the remaining notes are represented as 'words' using binary numbers. An LSTM model is then trained on this corpus to generate predictions, which are subsequently converted back into MIDI files according to the established rules.\n\nA Quick Look at the Tools\n\nLSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) is a type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) known for its ability to learn sequences effectively. RNNs are a category of deep learning neural networks; for further understanding, see this post by WildML. Keras is a deep learning framework based on Theano and TensorFlow. In this project, Theano was used as the backend, though this choice should not affect the output.\n\nWhy Metallica?\n\nMetallica is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1981 when vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield responded to an advertisement posted by drummer Lars Ulrich in a local newspaper. The choice to focus on Metallica was driven by the availability of a large number of MIDI tracks—more than for any other artist so far. Additionally, the drum tracks in Metallica are relatively consistent, and the simplification applied during preprocessing makes sense for their drumming style.\n\nPreprocessing: Modeling Rhythm as Text\n\nLSTM models are fundamentally designed for time-series modeling, which involves one-dimensional data. In previous work, modeling chord progressions as text was straightforward, as the MIDI tracks were converted into symbolic, one-dimensional data. However, drum tracks are not one-dimensional. A piano-roll view of a drum track shows pitch on the y-axis and time on the x-axis, with each note representing a different part of the drum kit. For example, in the piano-roll view of the drum track from \"Master of Puppet\" (starting at 0:28 in a live performance), blue represents the kick, green the snare, yellow or olive the open hi-hats, and red the crash cymbals. Drummers use their arms and legs simultaneously, making the data inherently multi-dimensional.\n\nQuantization and Simplification\n\nThe first step in preprocessing is quantization, which involves placing notes at specific timings rather than continuous time. This is essentially a rounding function on the time axis. The MIDI files were quantized to 16th notes, assuming Lars Ulrich does not play otherwise, though this introduces some errors, particularly with triplets. Further simplification was applied by limiting the types of notes to a kick, a snare, open hi-hats, closed hi-hats, three tom-toms, a crash, and a ride, totaling nine notes. Using the General MIDI drum map, these notes are expressed as follows:\n\nallowed_pitch = [36, 38, 42, 46, 41, 45, 48, 51, 49]\ndrum_conversion = {\n35: 36, # acoustic bass drum -> bass drum (36)\n37: 38, # side stick -> acoustic snare (38)\n40: 38, # electric snare -> acoustic snare (38)\n43: 41, # high floor tom -> low floor tom (41)\n47: 45, # low-mid tom -> low tom (45)\n50: 48, # high tom -> hi-mid tom (48)\n44: 42, # pedal HH -> closed HH (42)\n57: 49, # Crash 2 -> Crash 1 (49)\n59: 51, # Ride 2 -> Ride 1 (51)\n53: 51, # Ride bell -> Ride 1 (51)\n55: 51, # Splash -> Ride 1 (51)\n52: 49 # China cymbal -> Crash 1 (49)\n}", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9623, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "d392fb48685ca9b63065bae835c83c711418712b", "raw_chars": 1379, "clean_chars": 1382, "edit_ratio": 0.038, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The best way to avoid this is to wrap your source code in {source}…{/source} tags, but using square brackets rather than curly braces.

This phase incorporates aspects of games like Eve Online and League of Legends. In this combat system, you design the ship, craft the guns, engines, and boilers. You can watch your opponent's ship get obliterated and see them desperately trying to repair it during the battle. I am eager to see the first full-scale model of a Death Star.\n\nPhase 3 introduces user-generated missions, effectively creating a game within the game. Since VoxelVerse is free-to-play and all content is server-based, friends can easily come and try out your adventures without needing to download or install mods.

The Oxel Engine is ready for alpha content creators and is prepared to be put into the hands of users.\n\nIs there actually a game? I have seen thousands of people enter sandbox worlds, and the first thing they ask is, \"What is there to do?\" Story is a critical element that adds context and purpose to every starting player's experience. The story behind VoxelVerse is that your colony ship escaped the dying embers of Earth but was destroyed just before reaching its destination. You escaped in a one-person life pod, but the crew and passengers were scattered across the VoxelVerse. Your job is to survive long enough to reunite with the other colonists and start a new civilization, which is essentially Phase 2.\n\nWhy use Kickstarter? Crowdfunding is the future of indie game development, but you likely already know that. Users know what they enjoy and have shown an amazing willingness to support it. Early in this project, I spent a few months trying to get venture capitalists, angel investors, and game publishers to understand why a next-generation voxel engine like VoxelVerse could unlock a whole new type of gameplay and a new generation of user-generated content. However, after hearing \"Why use voxels?\" for the tenth time, I realized this was a losing battle. So, I decided to self-fund the project for as long as I could.\n\nRaising money is a full-time job, and when I do it, I cannot design or code. I have raised millions of dollars in the past, and I have the business plan, pro forma, and market studies. But at the end of the day, I love to create and make tools for others to use. Spending months raising money might have been a better long-term strategy, but I had an idea that wanted to burst out of me like the creature in Alien. So, I decided to do it on my own dime, to be beholden to no one but the users. Well, that dime and my wife's patience have worn very thin, so my choice is to raise some money or make this project a part-time endeavor. The result of this effort is the basis for what you see in the demo. It still needs work in some major areas, like lighting, but the overall result is exactly what I imagined.

In fact, it is downright confusing. No matter the game, I am a huge fan of PvP; I was a Warlord in vanilla World of Warcraft. Although I may not have PvP'd my way to level 50 in SWTOR, I enjoyed a fair share of it on the way up. Once I reached that level, with my hands full of Warzone Commendations, I stared at the 18 different PvP vendors in sheer bewilderment.\n\nEighteen vendors is not an exaggeration; there are in fact 18 PvP-related vendors for each faction. Where do you even start? What do Warzone Commendations even do? What is a Mercenary Commendation, and why don't I have any? Why does all the level 50 purple gear require these Mercenary Commendations when I have zero of them? Why is Battle Master gear so awesome? Are these daily and weekly quests worth doing? The purpose of this guide is to answer all these questions, complete with pictures.\n\nBasics\n\nIt all starts with Warzones and Valor. Warzones are PvP instances that you can queue from anywhere in the SWTOR universe via the bottom right of your mini-map. For Republic players, the icon will be the Republic symbol instead of the Imperial symbol. You can queue solo or with a group. There are currently three different Warzones, even though it seems like Hutt Ball happens every time (39% according to BioWare).\n\nIn these Warzones, you acquire Valor points and Warzone Commendations. You can think of Valor as your PvP rank, which maxes out at 100. Valor is gained through Warzones, world PvP, and through PvP quests on Ilum. Titles can also be unlocked through your Valor rank. Warzone Commendations are gained through completing Warzone matches. They max out at 1,000, so they need to be spent often. Spending them is pretty easy, as shown in the picture below, which displays the end of a Warzone match and how much Valor and Warzone Commendations are gained.\n\nNote: It was pointed out by Michael Irigoven on our site and Reddit user \"Quagmire_\" that the Valor cap is 100 and not 60. This is confirmed, so the guide has been updated. Valor 60 is still the minimum level required to use Battle Master Gear, however.\n\nThere are three tiers of level 50 purple PvP gear. The progression is Centurion, then Champion, and finally Battle Master. Why do you want level 50 PvP gear? The answer is expertise. Expertise is the PvP-specific stat that makes you better in PvP situations. This single stat allows you to do more damage, have better heals, and take less damage in PvP. Not to mention the stats on this gear, especially the Battle Master tier, are top-end.\n\nSpending Warzone Commendations\n\nOn your faction's fleet, in the \"Combat Training\" area, there are the 18 PvP vendors. While 18 vendors can be intimidating, only six of them pertain to you. There are four class-specific vendors in this area, one item vendor, and one weapon vendor. All these vendors are in somewhat close proximity; you just need to talk with them to learn which is for your class. The vendors look like members of your class; for example, Jedi Knight vendors look like Jedi, and Smuggler vendors look like Smugglers. The 40s PvP gear can be bought from one of these vendors with Warzone Commendations.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9641, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "d1afeb285470b5186e0a49ffabaa2300da80ff81", "raw_chars": 856, "clean_chars": 862, "edit_ratio": 0.0384, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "More troubling, perhaps, is the potential for conflicts of interest.

Faced with annihilation by a nonhuman Kaiju threat, the entire globe bonds together to build weaponry capable of destroying cities. These giant, mechanized \"Jaeger\" suits are used by the human race to wage a single, unified war against an alien threat. When Pacific Rim premiered in 2013, it was a multicultural, globalist-minded film, and its sequel, Pacific Rim: Uprising, appears to double down on those political themes in its first trailer, which was released on a Friday.\n\nThe original film, directed and co-written by Mexican-American filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, follows military operations across San Francisco, San José del Cabo, Sydney, Manila, and Hong Kong as leaders pool their resources and strategize as a single front. Featuring actors from all over the world, Pacific Rim made history in China and Japan, becoming a rare English-language film to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States while also succeeding abroad. Pacific Rim: Uprising will undoubtedly aim for that same global box office appeal. Based on several updates in the trailer and the film’s promotional website, its political stance will likely feel even more explicit to Americans under a Trump presidency.\n\nTrump’s \"America First\" slogan appeals to a large voter base in the United States that believes the nation needs stricter border control, fewer immigrants, and nationalistic policies to thrive. Studies have found that Americans in states with lower numbers of recent immigrants tend to express more intense fear that immigration has a detrimental effect on their ability to get a job, collect benefits, and live comfortably. This militant nationalism, which is not based on any relationships with actual immigrants, is shared by Trump, who often uses racist rhetoric to suggest that \"real Americans\" – white, Christian, straight, and cis-gendered – are under attack from outsiders of all kinds.\n\nCompare that ideology with the one presented in Pacific Rim. The films are filled with actors hailing from many nations, playing characters who also live and work in those nations. The science fiction lore of Pacific Rim values collaboration and compromise over cultural assimilation. Take, for instance, the bond between the Jaeger pilots, who need to be \"drift compatible\" in order to drive their giant war robots. Their citizenship is irrelevant; they need to connect their brains on a subconscious level using Jaeger technology, and that intimacy happens when the pilots are able to share human, relatable moments. We saw this happen between Mako (played by Rinko Kikuchi) and Raleigh (played by Charlie Hunnam), and it appears it will happen again between Amara (played by Cailee Spaeny) and Jake (played by John Boyega).

This commitment opens the door for Blackstone to access one million square feet of air rights in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in New York City, air rights that are worth untold millions.\n\nAll this financial assistance has been framed as a way for the city to incentivize the preservation of affordable housing, but in reality, the agreement will likely be used to protect fewer units than it promises to.\n\nThe deal creates no new affordable apartments, offers no assistance for the thousands of tenants already loaded with market rate leases, and suggests only the slightest consideration of Stuyvesant Town’s future affordability.\n\nHow has the city settled into such a low expectation of success in the preservation of affordable housing? How did Stuyvesant Town, which so recently stood as the paragon of affordable, middle-class housing in Manhattan, fall so far? In a city that prioritizes affordable housing over every other issue, how is preserving the status quo in exchange for $221 million in taxpayer money and hundreds of millions more in development rights considered a victory?\n\nOriginally created through a public-private partnership between Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Stuyvesant Town, with its sister development Peter Cooper Village, houses 30,000 residents and forms an improbably large complex of 110 red brick apartment buildings stretching for 80 acres along First Avenue between 14th and 23rd Streets.\n\nOpened in 1947 to house returning veterans, the complex was created so that families of moderate means might live in health, comfort, and dignity in park-like communities, symbolizing a new municipal and corporate commitment to a middle-class city. For decades, MetLife maintained the complex with a kind of laissez-faire benevolence that allowed Stuy Town’s unglamorous high-rises to stand as a stronghold of stable affordability.\n\nThe complex became a haven for teachers, firemen, city workers, and nurses. Although it has historically been heavily populated by Irish, Jewish, and Italian families, Stuy Town has also absorbed populations of the city’s arriving immigrants, forming an unlikely and inspiring middle-class suburb thriving on lower Manhattan’s eastern flank. It did not, however, welcome Black New Yorkers, and subsequent legal battles over the development's racist policies ultimately led to the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, which outlawed discrimination in housing rentals and sales nationwide.\n\nStuy Town operated as a reasonably profitable and quiet investment for MetLife—the complex reported a $112 million Net Operating Income in 2006—but the owners’ attitudes began to change in the early 2000s, when MetLife became a publicly traded company and was forced to maximize shareholder returns at the expense of tenants.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9649, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "be07ef9a64559be704386d0e9de5a03f96bf3cda", "raw_chars": 2709, "clean_chars": 2791, "edit_ratio": 0.1098, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When Britain joined the European Economic Community in 1973, existing members changed the entry terms at the very last moment, forcing the UK to give up sovereignty over its fishing waters. Similarly, today the UK will secure an advantageous free trade agreement (FTA) and ensure it sticks only if it is willing and able to trade under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.\n\nOnce the drama of Brexit is over, beyond March 2019 and any subsequent transition period, WTO rules can be used as a platform to cut an FTA with the EU under less time pressure, making a better deal more likely. While some UK firms worry that WTO rules will hurt complex supply chains across the EU, most manufacturing components are zero-rated and would not attract any tariffs. The UK's trade deficit with the EU also means that, under WTO rules, the UK pays less in export tariffs than it receives, creating several billion pounds in net revenues for the Exchequer each year. This surplus could be used to compensate sectors like cars and agriculture, where tariffs on UK exports are likely to be higher.\n\nA 'no deal' scenario—trading with the EU with no FTA—is an entirely coherent position. It is very different from simply 'walking away,' which would mean failing to settle administrative issues such as mutual recognition agreements on exports. No one is advocating such an approach. It is unthinkable that existing and uncontroversial EU protocols granted to countless other non-EU members would not apply to Britain. For Brussels to deny such rights would breach WTO and EU treaties, while incensing EU businesses and voters by threatening billions of euros in profit and countless EU jobs.\n\nWhen it comes to lurid scare stories about planes not flying, Europe's 'Open Skies' agreement applies to many non-EU nations and those outside the single market.

Counting only letters, they determined that the middle letter of the Torah is the vav in the word gachon, meaning \"belly,\" in Leviticus 11:42. However, by counting words, they identified the phrase darosh darash, meaning \"diligently inquire\" (Leviticus 10:16), as the exact center of the Torah. Finally, they determined that Leviticus 13:33 marked the middle of the Torah if one counted by verses, assuming there are 5,888 verses in the Torah. But they immediately added that there are multiple traditions for versification even within the Jewish tradition, so the \"middle by verse\" could not be definitively determined. No wonder Rabbi Norzi gave up!\n\nOf course, tradition was not willing to simply give up and wait for the Messiah to determine the center of the Torah. Thus, a second, essentialist approach to the question of the essential teaching of the Torah, or lev haTorah, \"heart of the Torah,\" was also explored by the Rabbis. In this case, however, the question is not a mathematical challenge but a philosophical one. The discussion is well known. The core passage is found in the Jerusalem Talmud, N'darim 30b: \"Rabbi Akiva (second century CE) taught: 'Love your neighbor as yourself' (Leviticus 19:18). This is the most important rule in the Torah. But Ben Azzai says: 'This is the Book of Chronologies of Adam' (Genesis 5:1).\"\n\nBen Azzai's challenge to Akiva's teaching is based on the meaning of the word \"neighbor.\" In the context of the original passage in Leviticus, neighbor could be understood narrowly as \"someone you already know\" or \"your Jewish neighbor.\" Seeking to universalize the commandment, Ben Azzai demonstrates that all people, Jewish and non-Jewish, are descendants of Adam and, therefore, all neighbors. The Ashkenazic haftarah to Leviticus 19 from Amos 9:7 deflects Ben Azzai's comment by reminding the Jewish people that they, the Jews, and the Ethiopians are all equal in the eyes of God.\n\nIt is also possible to discover essentialist meaning in the mathematically determined \"hearts\" of the Torah. For example, following the word count of the soferim, the word \"belly,\" suggesting gastronomical Judaism, is key for many people. Keeping kosher or eating traditional Jewish holiday food is, for a number of people today, their primary tie to the Jewish tradition. For others, darosh darash, diligently inquire, is the essential principle of Judaism. \"The study of Torah,\" the ancient Rabbis assure us, leads us to the performance of other mitzvot. Today, we even have a widespread phenomenon in the Reform Movement of people who come regularly to Shabbat morning Torah study, delve deeply into the weekly portion, and then promptly leave before services begin. Darosh darash is their middle of the Torah.\n\nWhat about \"putting on the tunic?\" Very often, particularly at occasions like bnei mitzvah services, weddings, and funerals, people who neither keep kosher nor study Torah insist on wearing a kippah or a women's head covering. It makes them feel connected to the tradition, even authentic. For them, \"putting on the tunic\" is the middle of the Torah.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9663, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "e261f476eea5cad7b1795b2d1b885ac61d906492", "raw_chars": 2957, "clean_chars": 2940, "edit_ratio": 0.6391, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Political Correction page thoroughly dismantles Kris Kobach's claims and his proposed remedies for what he calls an imaginary epidemic of voter fraud.

That changed on 17 June, when the Philadelphians played the full Sussex County team in Brighton. John Barton King unleashed the full fury of his majestic talents. In the first innings, he combined with John Lester for a fourth-wicket stand of 107 runs. King then bowled, taking seven wickets for 13 runs as the Philadelphians dismissed Sussex for 46 in less than an hour. King wasn’t done yet; in the second innings, he took six wickets for 102 runs, and led his team to an eight-wicket victory.\n\nKing’s feats were replicated in a second tour by the Philadelphians in 1903. During that tour, the Philadelphians inflicted the worst defeat ever by an American cricket team over an English county team, defeating Gloucestershire by an innings and 26 runs. King’s efforts on the field led luminaries like Sir Pelham Warner to describe him as “one of the finest bowlers of all time”. Exploits like that brought the inevitable comparisons by English cricket observers to Australian teams, leading American cricket fans to think that the United States was poised to explode onto cricket’s main stage.\n\nIt never happened.\n\nThat amateur insularity artificially capped interest in the sport, even in Philadelphia, where its decline was scarcely imaginable. Amateur cricket clubs were never just limited to cricket; they often featured sports like tennis and golf, and as they evolved into what we now recognize as country clubs, they left cricket behind. As they did so, the number of matches began to drop drastically, and with it, cricket-specific clubs began disbanding.\n\nThe last first-class cricket match in Philadelphia was played in 1913. The Belmont Cricket Club, where John Barton King had first made his mark, sold its grounds and officially disbanded in 1914. That upheaval and decline took its toll in the Philadelphians’ third and final tour of England, in 1908. The only highlight of the tour was, once more, King’s fantastical performance as a bowler; he set the season bowling record at 11.01. That record stood for 50 years, until Derbyshire’s Les Jackson edged it by posting an average of 10.99.\n\nAn even more telling blow was the creation of the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1909 as the governing body for world cricket. That organization – because it was meant for cricketing nations within the British Empire – left the United States frozen out of world cricket, while countries like Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa could continue playing.\n\nLike that, American cricket was snuffed out.\n\nDespite fitful starts, it has yet to really recover. In rich irony, the United States of America Cricket Association was admitted to the International Cricket Council as an associate member in 1965. However, it remains a shambolic organization, shackled by lack of funds and ineffective leadership. As a result, it’s been repeatedly suspended by the ICC. Its latest efforts at rehabilitation are being overseen by the West Indies Cricket Board.\n\nEven if it successfully does so, the sport faces daunting challenges in its adoption.

The Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) initially planned to use a radio control system for precision attacks, but the government ultimately decided to deploy the missile against London instead. A weighted pendulum system provided fore-and-aft attitude measurement to control pitch, which was damped by a gyrocompass that also stabilized the missile. Operating power for the gyroscope platform and the flight-control actuators was supplied by two large spherical compressed air tanks that also pressurized the fuel tank. These air tanks were charged to 150 atmospheres (2,200 psi) before launch. With the counter determining the flight distance, it was only necessary to launch the V-1 with the ramp pointing in the approximate direction, as the autopilot controlled the rest of the flight.\n\nThere was a more sophisticated interaction between yaw, roll, and other sensors. A gyrocompass, set by swinging in a hangar before launch, provided feedback to control the dynamics of pitch and roll. However, it was angled away from the horizontal, meaning that controlling these degrees of freedom interacted. The gyroscope remained true based on feedback received from a magnetic compass and the fore-and-aft pendulum. This interaction meant that rudder control was sufficient for steering, and no banking mechanism was needed. In a V-1 that landed without detonating between Tilburg and Goirle in March 1945, several rolled-up issues of the German wartime propaganda magazine Signal were found inserted into the left wing's tubular steel spar, used as weight to preset the missile's static equilibrium before launching. Several of the earliest V-1s launched were equipped with a small radio transmitter, using a triode valve marked 'S3' but equivalent to a then-current power valve type RL 2,4T1, to check the general direction of flight relative to the launching site and target grid coordinates via radio bearing.\n\nAn odometer driven by a vane anemometer on the nose determined when the target area had been reached, with enough accuracy for area bombing. Before launch, the counter was set to a value that would reach zero upon arrival at the target under prevailing wind conditions. As the missile flew, the airflow turned the propeller, and every 30 rotations counted down one number on the counter. This counter triggered the arming of the warhead after about 60 kilometers (37 miles). When the count reached zero, two detonating bolts were fired. Two spoilers on the elevator were released, the linkage between the elevator and servo was jammed, and a guillotine device cut off the control hoses to the rudder servo, setting the rudder in neutral. These actions put the V-1 into a steep dive. While this was originally intended to be a power dive, in practice the dive caused the fuel flow to cease, stopping the engine. The sudden silence after the buzzing alerted listeners to the impending impact. The fuel problem was quickly fixed, and by the time the last V-1s fell, the majority hit with power.\n\nInitially, V-1s landed within a circle 19 miles (31 kilometers) in diameter, but by the end of the war, accuracy had been improved to about 7 miles, which was comparable to the V-2 rocket.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9687, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8e98c06564bc69ae76d79e0d5258cf236093a287", "raw_chars": 1549, "clean_chars": 1557, "edit_ratio": 0.3979, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The governor had absolutely no connection to the email issue, he said, adding that he supported Dr. McCabe solely because she shared his vision for Virginia.

He told the Germans that London had been devastated and had been mostly evacuated as a result of enormous casualties. The Germans could not perform aerial reconnaissance of London, and believed his damage reports in preference to Pujol's. They thought that the Allies would make every effort to destroy the V-1 launch sites in France. They also accepted Ostro's impact reports. Due to Ultra, however, the Allies read his messages and adjusted for them.\n\nMax Wachtel\n\nA certain number of the V-1s fired had been fitted with radio transmitters, which had clearly demonstrated a tendency for the V-1 to fall short. Oberst Max Wachtel, commander of Flak Regiment 155 (W), which was responsible for the V-1 offensive, compared the data gathered by the transmitters with the reports obtained through the double agents. He concluded, when faced with the discrepancy between the two sets of data, that there must be a fault with the radio transmitters, as he had been assured that the agents were completely reliable. It was later calculated that if Wachtel had disregarded the agents' reports and relied on the radio data, he would have made the correct adjustments to the V-1's guidance, and casualties might have increased by 50 per cent or more.\n\nThe policy of diverting V-1 impacts away from central London was initially controversial. The War Cabinet refused to authorise a measure that would increase casualties in any area, even if it reduced casualties elsewhere by greater amounts. It was thought that Churchill would reverse this decision later (he was then away at a conference); but the delay in starting the reports to Germans might be fatal to the deception. So Sir Findlater Stewart of Home Defence Executive took responsibility for starting the deception programme immediately, and his action was approved by Churchill when he returned.\n\nEnd of the V-1 attacks against England\n\nBy September 1944, the V-1 threat to England was temporarily halted when the launch sites on the French coast were overrun by the advancing Allied armies. 4,261 V-1s had been destroyed by fighters, anti-aircraft fire and barrage balloons. The last enemy action of any kind on British soil occurred on 29 March 1945, when a V-1 struck Datchworth in Hertfordshire.\n\nAssessment\n\nUnlike the V-2, the V-1 was a cost-effective weapon for the Germans as it forced the Allies to spend heavily on defensive measures and divert bombers from other targets. More than 25 per cent of Combined Bomber Offensive's bombs in July and August 1944 were used against V-weapon sites, often ineffectively. In early December 1944, American General Clayton Bissell wrote a paper that argued strongly in favour of the V-1 when compared with conventional bombers.\n\nThe following is a table he produced:\n\nBlitz (12 months) vs V-1 flying bombs (2¾ months)\n\nBlitz V-1\n1.

The experience of being here is amazing. You've got the elite skiers of the world and then you've got some mad old woman like me trying to make it down.\"\n\nFinishing more than 50 seconds behind Slovenian winner Tina Maze, she nearly crashed several times and even got lost on the course. \"It was rock and roll at times—I nearly crashed out three times—but I'm happy,\" Mae said. \"I grew up in London, so I'm afraid I brought the weather with me. It was cool. I was just happy I didn't get lost, because this was my first two-gates and I thought I was going to go the wrong side.

You have to enjoy life.\"\n\nVanessa-Mae has sold more than 10 million records worldwide and is worth approximately £30 million. The 35-year-old, who was born in Singapore to a Chinese mother and a Thai father, was raised in England but now lives in the Swiss Alpine resort of Zermatt. She competed for Thailand, becoming only the third person in the 90-year history of the Winter Games to do so.\n\nThe world-famous musician has been skiing since she was four years old but entered the competition as the lowest-ranked racer in the field, ranked 2,253rd, having barely scraped through qualifying a month ago. She trained with the Russian team in Australia over the past year, traveling to as many competitions as possible to secure the necessary qualifying points.\n\nShe said, \"This is the Olympic spirit, and to be just a small part of it for a few days is special. I am shy, and I sort of shuffle around the canteen looking at all these amazing skiers, and they are really friendly. They sidle up to you and say 'hi,' and we talk about music and sport. There is no pressure, only really good spirit. If you do everything when you're young, you leave no fun until the end.\"\n\nVanessa-Mae was taught to ski thanks to private lessons paid for by her mother, Pamela. However, once she showed her talent in music, she was banned from hitting the slopes to avoid injury. She says that her estranged mother and former manager did not bother to contact her when she qualified for the Sochi Games. On the eve of the Games, she noted, \"There are moments, such as Olympic moments, when you bury your differences. But that hasn't happened to us.\"\n\nInstead, she appeared on the official start sheets as Vanessa Vanakorn, competing under her father's surname. She explained, \"I have many, many different cultures in my life, but one that I have never kind of celebrated before was my Thai side. Vanakorn is my name when skiing.

The \"creeping invasion\" proved unable to defeat the severely outnumbered anti-Taliban forces.\n\nAccording to a 55-page report by the United Nations, the Taliban, while trying to consolidate control over northern and western Afghanistan, committed systematic massacres against civilians. UN officials stated that there had been \"15 massacres\" between 1996 and 2001. They also said, that \"[t]hese have been highly systematic and they all lead back to the [Taliban] Ministry of Defense or to Mullah Omar himself\". Al Qaeda's so-called 055 Brigade was also responsible for mass-killings of Afghan civilians. The report by the United Nations quotes eyewitnesses in many villages describing Arab fighters \"carrying long knives used for slitting throats and skinning people\".\n\nThe only thing standing in the way of future Taliban massacres is Ahmad Shah Massoud.\n\nAfter longstanding battles especially for the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif, Abdul Rashid Dostum and his Junbish forces alongside allied Hezb-e Wahdat forces were defeated by the Taliban and their allies in 1998. Dostum subsequently went into exile. Ahmad Shah Massoud remained the only major anti-Taliban leader inside Afghanistan who was able to defend vast parts of his territory against the Pakistan army, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.\n\nThe Taliban repeatedly offered Massoud money and a position of power to make him stop his resistance. Massoud declined. He explained in one interview:\n\nThe Taliban say: \"Come and accept the post of prime minister and be with us\", and they would keep the highest office in the country, the presidentship. But for what price?! The difference between us concerns mainly our way of thinking about the very principles of the society and the state. We can not accept their conditions of compromise, or else we would have to give up the principles of modern democracy. We are fundamentally against the system called \"the Emirate of Afghanistan\".\n\nThere should be an Afghanistan where every Afghan finds himself or herself happy. And I think that can only be assured by democracy based on consensus.\n\nMassoud wanted to convince the Taliban to join a political process leading towards democratic elections in a foreseeable future. He also stated:\n\nThe Taliban are not a force to be considered invincible. They are distanced from the people now. They are weaker than in the past.

I don’t know Ana well, but I don’t want to dismiss her concern that Trump’s comments on the media, particularly CNN, inspire more unhinged individuals to write nasty things to CNN reporters. I know this came up with Katy Tur, who covered Trump for NBC during the campaign. Trump supporters made threatening comments to her.\n\nClare Malone: What’s fascinating about the adversarial attitude toward the media that Trump is fostering in his supporters is their view toward seeing any and everything that is produced by certain media organizations as being toxic — when NPR tweeted out the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth and people thought it was an anti-Trump screed, for instance.\n\nNate Silver: How widespread are those attitudes really, though? Are we getting a false impression because people are nutpicking on Twitter? Harry, how do you make sense of the polling data on this?\n\nHarry: The polling indicates that more Americans trust the media than trust Trump, but it’s also the case that Republicans trust Trump over the media. So it’s kind of beneficial in that way for both.\n\nClare Malone: Are we seeing crazy voices amplified by Twitter? Probably yes. But the adversarial nature is certainly there.

It’s a classic Trump move of distraction.\n\nNate Silver: So here’s my first question: Are Trump and the media actually at war? Or is this, to borrow a wrestling term, kayfabe? (Staged conflict?)\n\nClare Malone: There is most definitely a real conflict going on here.\n\nPerry Bacon Jr., senior writer: I think so. I think we have an administration that at times does not respect the authority of any potential checks on it: the FBI, the special counsel’s office, the Congressional Budget Office, federal judges and, yes, the media. This is not the first administration to take this tack, but I think it’s gone the furthest since Nixon. I think it’s important to distinguish between “Morning Joe” and the investigative team at The Washington Post. But Trump casts all of the media as “fake news.”\n\nHarry Enten: I think you can have a real conflict that is beneficial to both sides. Joe Scarborough saw record ratings after his tussle with Trump. But that doesn’t mean he likes Trump.\n\nClare Malone: I think we have to separate a couple of things out: Trump sees hating on the media as a useful tool to gin up support from his base, to try to control a narrative.

The device, which uses super-cooled atoms held within a lattice of laser beams, is approximately 1,000 times more precise than the atomic clocks currently used to define time.\n\nResearchers say that clocks with this level of accuracy could open up new areas of science by allowing tiny fluctuations in the strength of gravity to be measured. This is because time in a powerful gravitational field moves more slowly than in a weaker field, a phenomenon known as gravity-induced time dilation, which was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.\n\nAtomic clocks operate by means of atoms oscillating between two energy levels. In an optical lattice clock, millions of strontium atoms are held in a column of laser optical traps. Scientists detect the clock's 'ticks'—430 trillion of them a second—by bathing the atoms in very stable red laser light. The precise frequency of the laser triggers the switch between energy levels.\n\nBy placing these hyper-accurate clocks at various depths around the world, it will be possible to measure tiny changes in the Earth's gravity. This capability could help geologists understand some of the processes that drive events like earthquakes and may even make it possible to predict them.\n\nDr. Hidetoshi Katori, head of the quantum metrology laboratory at the RIKEN Centre for Advanced Photonics in Japan, said the clock could also be used to develop a new international standard for the second. He noted, \"If we can miniaturize this technology further, it would have useful applications, since tiny fluctuations in gravitational potential could be used to detect underground resources, underground spaces, and the movement of lava. We also hope that in the future, this will accelerate the movement toward a new definition of the international second, based on optical lattice clocks, to an even more stringent standard than the current definition of the second.\"\n\nCurrently, seconds are defined using International Atomic Time, which relies on the oscillation of electrons within a cesium atom when it is cooled to almost absolute zero. As these electrons oscillate, they emit microwaves that can be measured. The best caesium atomic clocks are accurate to around one second in every 100 million years.\n\nHowever, Dr. Katori and his colleagues have created two optical lattice clocks using atoms of strontium that are held in a laser-generated, egg-box-shaped lattice. A single atom is held within each 'cup' of the lattice within a container cooled to -180 degrees Celsius. By measuring the frequency of light absorbed by millions of these atoms, scientists are able to use this data to monitor time.\n\nScientists have been trying to improve the accuracy of these clocks for years, but until now, it has been difficult to produce any that outperform current atomic clocks.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – September 14, 2011 - NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, is setting a new benchmark for speed, range and premium features in home wireless routers with the N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router (model number: WNDR4500). The NETGEAR N900 router, available now, leaps ahead with up to 900 megabits per second of combined WiFi speed and greater WiFi range for maximum performance with even the most demanding tasks, such as wireless 3D and HD video streaming, multiplayer gaming and backing up big files.\n\nWith up to 50 percent more speed in the 2.4 GHz band than the current generation of 750 Mbps routers, the NETGEAR N900 can support a full 450 Mbps in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The NETGEAR N900's six highly sensitive internal antennas, boosted by ultra-high-power radio amplifiers, provide more WiFi range – and more wireless speed at any given distance – than any other competing home router available today.\n\nBeyond speed and range, the NETGEAR N900 offers a long list of advanced features that make home networks more useful and easier to manage. There are two USB ports, for example, to simultaneously share a printer and a USB hard drive or flash drive across the home network. Saving and retrieving files through the network from a USB drive is up to 30 percent faster with the NETGEAR N900 than any router now on the market, thanks to a more powerful processor.\n\nSetting up the NETGEAR N900 is quick and easy. There's no CD required for installation, and the router can be configured through a browser on PCs, Macs, smartphones, the iPad and other tablets.\n\nAlso bundled with the NETGEAR N900 WiFi router is the NETGEAR GenieTM, a free utility for PCs and Macs, that presents a simple dashboard for monitoring, controlling and repairing home networks; viewing devices connected to the router through a network map; and accessing many router features.\n\nNETGEAR Live Parental Controls on the NETGEAR N900 give parents a centralized, flexible and reliable way to establish what web sites their children visit and what times of day they can go online for all devices on the network, including Windows PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets.

But even so, science runs out of answers because it has turned its back on the most fundamental of all forces: consciousness.\n\nScience is like a boy trying to light a fire. Up until the mid-nineteenth century, the boy had only one piece of kindling: the fundamental force of gravity. Then the boy found the electromagnetic force, and after that the strong and weak nuclear forces. Four pieces. So, science improved its ability to describe how the fire (the universe) should work.\n\nBut still no fire. It's missing something. The world's most famous living physicist, Stephen Hawking, agrees. He asks, \"What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?\"\n\nIt's consciousness.\n\nConsciousness is the breath that generates the four fundamental forces and every object in the universe. All humans, animals, birds, plants, minerals, and even the air molecules that pass through your lungs are a projection of consciousness and have their own levels of awareness.\n\nConsciousness is the breath that maintains the shape of your body, taking in elements of the earth to make new cells, replace the old, and returning their elements to the earth. You replace your entire body at least once every two years, until you lay it down and move on.\n\nConsciousness is the breath science must use if it wants to throw a full light on the universe. So far it has refused, because the great drama of consciousness is subjective. But then the whole universe is literally a subjective experience. There is no objective universe to discover.\n\nWhen science folds consciousness into its view of the universe, it will grow. It will know the why of existence as well as the how. Then, maybe, it will tackle the Five Universal Truths of existence.\n\nI'd love it if you'd tell your friends about this article: Facebook, Email, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Google, Pinterest.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9742, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "22f3955d36263c34c1f3e6ea4d7670162af61d82", "raw_chars": 3441, "clean_chars": 3441, "edit_ratio": 0.3534, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The youth electorate in recent general elections has been more diverse than the youth electorate in this year's Democratic primary, a factor that may benefit Hillary Clinton given her relative strength—and Donald Trump's significant weakness—with young women and youth of color. Much will depend on how many young people turn out to cast their ballots this November. While Secretary Clinton moves into the general election with a large number of young liberal and Democratic-leaning potential voters, her campaign has a long way to go to both persuade and mobilize many of these young people.\n\nThe voters who turned out for Obama seemed driven by a sense of mission. They were electing the first Black president of the United States, and many expressed a desire to be part of history. If Hillary Clinton wins, she will be the first woman president, yet the enthusiasm and that same sense of mission do not seem to be present. I spoke to two young women, one who had been a Bernie Sanders supporter through the primaries and one who had supported Hillary Clinton, about what they thought about the upcoming election and what they saw happening in their dorms.\n\nBoth agreed that the \"excitement\" about voting for Hillary Clinton does not seem to be there, even if \"all of their friends\" are voting for her. Caoily Andrews, 19, is a sophomore at Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York. When Bernie Sanders spoke in downtown Binghamton in April, Andrews was among a large group from her dorm who left before 5 a.m. to stand in line for his 10 a.m. speech. She says that now, all of that same group is voting for Clinton because \"she's experienced, and they'd rather a toilet seat be president over Trump.\" She notes that her dormmates' excitement for Clinton has \"increased since the primaries, but I think people are just really focused on not having Trump for president.\" When asked about her objection to Donald Trump, Andrews says, \"He's a xenophobic, underqualified, narcissistic liar.\"\n\nElise Reynolds, also 19, is a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania. She supported Hillary Clinton through the primaries. She thinks that Clinton stands for a different approach to politics than Sanders did. \"I think a lot of millennials aren't enthused about Hillary because they haven't actually taken the time to look into her platform and see what she stands for,\" Reynolds says. \"When you get into it, you see that her platform does include policies tackling issues that directly concern us, such as debt-free college and campus sexual assault. I also think a lot of millennials struggle with the idea that she's more of a 'within the system' than a 'burn down the system' Democrat, but in an already fractured political landscape, I would argue that incremental change will ultimately be the most effective.\"\n\nReynolds also thinks that her cohort has expectations of politicians that someone like Hillary Clinton is simply not going to meet. \"Growing up in a media age, I think we have come to see politicians as we see celebrities whose entire lives are, or should be, accessible to us,\" Reynolds says. \"This explains a lot of the success of the Obamas. Hillary is a more traditional politician in the sense that her private life is much more private, and this can make her seem inaccessible and aloof. This may be less off-putting to previous generations, who are used to seeing politicians more as professionals than celebrities.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9745, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "b1c378ba43bef6cca0a2410b8c69f13b0257ef59", "raw_chars": 3412, "clean_chars": 3423, "edit_ratio": 0.0127, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Many risk factors for dementia have been identified in the literature. One strong risk factor is premorbid depression. Prospective studies show an increase in the risk for dementia if the person has or reports they have depression. However, contradictory evidence exists on whether the relationship between depression and later dementia is similar in men and women. The PAQUID study found a positive association between dementia and depression in men only. The CHSA (Community Health Status Assessment), however, found that depression increased the risk of vascular dementia in both sexes. Less is known about the role of premorbid anxiety despite evidence of close co-morbidity with depression and evidence that anxiety may be a predisposing factor for depression. One recent prospective cohort study (Gallacher et al.) reported that after adjustment for age, vascular risk factors, and premorbid cognitive function, higher anxiety levels were significantly associated with cognitive impairment and non-vascular dementia in a male population. However, they did not adjust for possible co-morbid depression and commented that further study is required to distinguish whether the association between anxiety and dementia is independent of the relationship between depression and dementia.\n\nThis study aimed to examine the relative associations of a prior anxiety diagnosis, or a prior depression diagnosis, with a future diagnosis of dementia in primary care. Recognition of predisposing factors for dementia should alert primary care physicians to the increased risk of dementia, in order to facilitate the early recognition and management of this disease.\n\nMethods\n\nSetting\n\nThe setting for this study is the Consultations in Primary Care Archive (CiPCA). CiPCA is a high-quality, validated database containing recorded consultation data from 13 general practices in North Staffordshire, UK, from 1998. Ethical approval for the use of CiPCA was granted by the North Staffordshire Research Ethics Committee. CiPCA contains information on all primary care consultations with these practices. CiPCA practices utilize Read codes to record consultation data, a common method in UK primary care. Read codes are used to record categories of symptoms and diagnoses. They make up a hierarchical 'thesaurus' stored by the computer. Clinical information is stored as data which is retrievable and analysable.\n\nParticipants\n\nCases and controls were identified from the 10 practices which contributed consultation data to CiPCA for the entire study period (2000 to 2008). In 2008, the 10 practices had a registered population of 96,618 patients. Dementia cases were identified by a Read coded (codes available on request) primary care consultation (or documentation from specialist services) in the period 2003–08, with no prior Read code for dementia from 2000 onwards, and were aged 65 years or more at the time of first diagnosis. Patients had to be fully registered at least 3 years prior to the date of dementia diagnosis and have consulted a primary care physician in the year preceding their diagnosis. This timeframe was chosen to allow for a 3-year run-in period (2000 to 2003) to ensure that only people with a newly coded diagnosis of dementia were included. Research has shown that patients may wait up to 3 years before consulting a primary care physician after their initial symptoms appear.\n\nExclusion criteria for cases", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9745, "chunk_idx": 8, "raw_sha1": "95536b244f1283a9c08914df22d005cff0566b5c", "raw_chars": 3427, "clean_chars": 3516, "edit_ratio": 0.2669, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Funding: The academic extension of the Centre for Learning and Behaviour (CLB) was funded by the West Midlands Deanery.

He ultimately drank his urine as he lay there, yelling out to agents right outside. His name was Daniel Chong. He was arrested for a 420 celebration of marijuana culture. He was never charged with any crime, and ultimately he was released.\n\nETHAN NADELMANN: You know, I think—I mean, that’s the case I was mentioning before. I mean, part of—you know, one can say, “Oh, this is just an accident, and accidents happen.” But, of course, accidents like that should never happen when you’re talking about a police agency, much less a federal police agency, being allowed to just sort of forget about somebody. And in the end, what happens? The taxpayers bail out the DEA for almost killing somebody for no cause whatsoever. So, you know, each year the DEA goes through its own little, you know, appropriations hearings in Congress. Each year it gets approved. And each year they just sort of get a ride. I think these things are piling up in a way that can no longer be sustained—should no longer be sustained.\n\nAMY GOODMAN: So what has been, John Shiffman, the response to your investigation by the DEA, by the NSA, by the FBI and others?\n\nJOHN SHIFFMAN: Well, they say it’s perfectly legal, what they do. And they say that—one DEA official told us that, you know, “This is a bedrock principle, parallel construction. We use it every day.” They’re pretty unabashed about it and said that—you know, that they’ve been doing this since the late '90s, and there's really nothing wrong with it. Yesterday the Justice Department said they are going to review it. But DEA has said, you know, there’s no problem with this.\n\nAMY GOODMAN: How many people does this impact?\n\nJOHN SHIFFMAN: Well, it would impact—I would think it would impact everyone, because, you know, it’s—we’re talking about a principle of law here. Not to get too legal, but, I mean, if you’re arrested, one of the fundamental rights that you have is to see the evidence against you. You know, when I was at the DEA and doing the interview, they cited the Ted Stevens case, which involved prosecutorial misconduct, which had—in which the senator’s charges were thrown out, because evidence was concealed. They said that after that there had been a review of all of the discovery procedures throughout the Justice Department, including at Special Operations Division. But they said that—and so I asked, I said, “Great, can I see a copy of the review?” And they said, “No.”\n\nAMY GOODMAN: So, Ethan Nadelmann, it’s all legal.\n\nETHAN NADELMANN: Well, you know, that’s what happens when any agency gets to just do what it wants to do for years and years and years without anybody looking over its shoulder. You know, I mean, Amy, this agency has also done things in the areas of medical marijuana, scientific research, the scheduling process of drugs, whereby they will go through an entirely legal process, through their own administrative law process hearings.

After one month, I have recorded a handful of decent demos. The only problems I have encountered relate to my learning curve with Pro Tools 9 and some initial setup issues, rather than crashes or bugs. People who do serious music production, such as in a professional studio, use systems with upwards of 128GB of RAM and something ridiculous like an 18-core processor. However, Pro Tools MP 9 only requires a system with 4GB of RAM. I had to do some research to make sure this computer would work, as the list of computers that are Pro Tools compatible starts at over $1,000 and was not in my price range. I haven't run into any brick walls with my recordings yet. I am not really tech-savvy by any means, and I can't really vouch that this computer will be the perfect entry-level system for a music hobbyist like myself. A million factors come to mind, like how I am not really pushing the system to its limit with the type of music I am making. But so far, with light plug-in usage including Strike, Velvet, and Eleven LE, I am not disappointed in my recording capabilities and have not run into any major latency issues with track counts around nine or ten. This review is intended for people like me who are looking for a budget-conscious system for Pro Tools. I wasn't able to find anyone who was using a system like this for Pro Tools, and any reviews I read by the masses were just \"it's great for checking my email.\" Oh really, wow, welcome to 1997. So I hope this at least confirms that it is possible to use this system for Pro Tools, at least for the first month. I hope it holds up over the years. I have not actually worked with MIDI editing yet, due to my MIDI controller being outdated and hard to find support for. I record acoustic guitar with microphones, digital piano with aux outs, and use Strike or pre-recorded MIDI drums for percussion. I typically use two to three guitar tracks per song with some overlapping parts, and generally two vocal tracks per song. If this is the kind of thing you're looking to use this computer for, I haven't had any problems yet.

Watching a boss monster explode in a shower of items, seeing that one of those items is the all-important unique color, and identifying it to discover what amazing properties it has is, for many, a hugely memorable moment.\n\nDesigning awesome unique items is actually a rather tricky process. A typical unique item can be broken down into a few basic components, but each of these components has to work in unison for the item itself to be truly successful.\n\nWhen starting an item design from scratch, because all three points have to fit together, we can really start from any one of them. Let's use a real example from an upcoming patch. Every new league we have done to date has had some league-specific unique items, and with new leagues on the way, I was tasked with coming up with those. I really liked the Berek's rings we created in the Domination and Nemesis leagues, so I decided to make a \"cycle\" of new items, all thematically linked together, for each of our upcoming leagues.\n\nThe idea for one of the cycles came very quickly and stemmed from how the league they are in will function. The other, however, was a slower process of discovery. Our artists made some 2D art and 3D models of some new weapons that at that point were unattached to anything in the game, and only tenuously attached to anything we had planned. I decided that the visual style of these weapons could work as the starting point for the design of these weapons.\n\nSo I knew what they looked like, but I did not yet know what they would do. Eyes, teeth, and flesh all have gameplay mechanics that could fit thematically. I decided that life leech would be a good enough starting point. Scythes also have cultural and historical connotations for \"reaping,\" which implies cutting something down for some gain. This fits nicely with life leech, but leech is not the most interesting mechanic, even if it is very useful. That is, unless it leeches a lot, but only sometimes.\n\nI decided that perhaps it could work based on critical strikes—you only leech health when you critically strike. Immediately, the usefulness for a weapon like this changes wildly between builds. It rewards some builds a lot more than it rewards others.\n\nBut what if you were not just leeching health on a critical strike, but potentially leeching health for later too? Surgeon flasks are very popular for critical strike builds for good reason—they can be refilled in the middle of long fights. The idea of turning every flask into a Surgeon flask, as if your critical strikes were siphoning off some of the leech, was a very appealing idea, so the next modifier I attached was:\n\nI wanted to drive home the evil, thirsty nature of the scythe with the flavor text, of course, so that reads:\n\nAnd I named it:\n\nThe low base critical strike chance of axes means that you will not necessarily benefit from this very often. I could have certainly tossed some extra local critical strike chance on there to compensate, but the weapon is all fleshy and alive-looking. What do fleshy and alive-looking things do? They grow. They change.

These scenarios are all too common in Ontario, where planning decisions frequently contradict local residents' wishes, municipal council advice, and the intent of Ontario’s Greenbelt and Growth Plans.\n\nWho makes these flawed planning decisions? The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)—an unelected, quasi-judicial land-use appeals body that critics argue is undemocratic and unaccountable. The OMB is broken and badly in need of an overhaul. Fortunately, this fall presents an opportunity for much-needed repairs.\n\nEarlier this fall, Ontario launched a review of the OMB. Public town hall meetings were held across the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) region, including one in Toronto, where citizens spoke out about how the OMB process hinders public participation, unfairly favours developers, and creates financial risks for those who dare to participate. The public comment period closes on December 19.\n\nToronto ratepayer groups echoed the message pointed out by citizen groups at every town hall meeting: participating in an OMB hearing is costly and frustrating, and it does not respect local planning decisions. Ratepayer groups, composed of local citizens, are tired of planning decisions made by municipal councils through full public consultations being overturned by an unelected OMB board member who often does not understand their neighbourhood or, in many cases, provincial policies.\n\nThe OMB is an arm of the provincial government meant to serve all Ontarians. However, its current operations clearly do not serve the interests of all citizens. Planning should be a public process, but once a planning issue is appealed to the OMB, the public can be shut out due to the time and expense of participating in an OMB hearing. Hearings often take weeks and require expensive lawyers and planning consultants. Not surprisingly, the process favours wealthy development interests, while citizen concerns are not top of mind.\n\nAdding insult to injury, ratepayer groups that manage to fundraise and participate in a hearing may find that if they lose the appeal, they are penalized with substantial cost awards, often thousands of dollars, just for participating in what should be a public dispute resolution process.\n\nThe expense of OMB hearings has led some municipalities to negotiate settlements with developers instead of participating in an OMB appeal. These settlements are another way that citizens are shut out of what should be a public process.\n\nThe biggest losers in the current equation are local residents, the character of communities, the environment, and prime farmland. Too much farmland, along with sensitive watershed areas including wetlands, forests, and woodlots, has been destroyed due to OMB decisions that did not respect the spirit of Ontario’s Greenbelt and Growth Plans.\n\nAcross the Greater Golden Horseshoe, OMB decisions continue to perpetuate 1950s-style sprawl, which is eating up some of Ontario’s best farmland at an alarming rate. Simcoe County, Waterloo, York Region, and other communities are losing farmland and wetlands to more sprawl due to OMB decisions that undermine community decisions and the province’s Growth Plan, which was established to curb runaway sprawl.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9814, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a0c8270547401c401c83014971e77346bfc485b5", "raw_chars": 3046, "clean_chars": 3042, "edit_ratio": 0.0059, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Consider for a moment the fact that the closest thing to good fortune the Clipse experienced during the process of writing and recording their sophomore album, Hell Hath No Fury, was a beloved rap legend going deaf.\n\nIf it weren't for Foxy Brown losing her hearing in the second half of 2005, Pusha T and Malice (as he was then known), brothers from Virginia who had inadvertently sparked a minor culture war among hip-hop fans, wouldn't have gotten their hands on the beat for \"Wamp Wamp (What It Do),\" an atonal, dystopian missive for alligator skin and Italian leather. When Foxy started to hear voices again, Jay Z of all people came calling for the beat back; the brothers didn't budge. They'd been waiting long enough.\n\nThe protracted legal battle over Hell Hath No Fury wasn't the first time the Clipse had to wade through a record label's jungle of red tape. Way back in the mid-90s, with voices a half-register higher, they parlayed a working relationship with Pharrell into a deal with Elektra. A debut album, Exclusive Audio Footage, was recorded, then shelved when it failed to generate any significant buzz. On one song—the beat would later be repurposed for a Jadakiss single—Malice, who would go on to change his name to No Malice and put out a deeply felt Christian record, raps, \"shit, we plenty nice, own it at any price / got them hardcore wannabe thugs calling on Christ.\"\n\nThe Clipse bounced back. When they finally made it to retail shelves in the summer of 2002, they were still young, but had been around long enough to get grizzled and jaded. From the opening notes, Pusha T is running up and down the stairs of his childhood home, humming the theme from Miami Vice, conceding, \"I see the villain's impact now that I'm older.\" Lord Willin' was an instant classic to those who picked it up: \"Grindin'\" reduced lunchroom tables to dust, \"Cot Damn\" sounded like a low-end-heavy apocalypse, and kids from Virginia Beach to Venice Beach started searching for Fam-Lay bootlegs.\n\nLord Willin' had A-level beats from The Neptunes—the batch most new artists could only dream of. Even setting aside \"Grindin',\" something like \"When the Last Time\" would have been a welcome life raft on Blueprint 2. The sounds were mostly what rap listeners had come to expect from Pharrell and Chad Hugo: weird and skull-rattling, but familiar enough to flirt with pop radio. Lord Willin' was the last time the Clipse would hit those comfortable pockets. The album was Gold by the end of September.\n\nIn 2004, BMG merged with Sony Music Entertainment, meaning that Arista—the label that had issued Lord Willin'—would be absorbed by Jive, while Star Trak, the Pharrell-led imprint that also had a stamp on the Clipse's success, landed at Interscope. Unfortunately, language in the contract Pusha and Malice had signed precluded them from making the same jump.

Our rationale for investigating HAL instead of an atypical APD was to develop a clear preclinical model to associate changes in side effect severity with epigenetic alterations. It will be of utmost importance to investigate the generalizability of our current epigenetic results to the effects of atypical APDs in aged populations, and ongoing studies in our lab are investigating the atypical APD risperidone in age-related side effect severity. Lastly, our tissue collection method for the biochemical analyses precluded evaluation of more specific subregions within the striatum, as the dorsal and ventral striatum have distinct functional roles in motor function and resultant extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) (Bressan et al. 2003). Future studies are needed to further characterize the regional selectivity of APD action in the striatum. In addition, further investigations of other brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, will be helpful in understanding the changes in the epigenetic landscape with advanced age.\n\nIn summary, the results of our study suggest that hypoacetylation and hypermethylation at certain histone residues associated with the Drd2 promoter may mediate the decrease in the expression and functionality of D2 receptors in the striatum of aged mice at baseline. Further, it is likely that the adaptability of this epigenetic landscape is impaired in aged compared to young mice, as evidenced by diminished compensation of D2 receptors with HAL administration in aged mice. These age-related epigenetic changes are likely one of the mechanisms that contributes to increases in the sensitivity of older individuals to the motor-related side effects induced by HAL and other APDs. Importantly, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, particularly valproic acid (VPA), mitigate such adverse effects by restoring histone modifications in the striatum of aged mice and easing the epigenetic constraints on the Drd2 promoter. This mechanism of epigenetic regulation underlying APDs' behavioral effects in aged mice, together with the reversal of side effects with HDAC inhibitors, has significant clinical implications for the development of novel, adjuvant treatment strategies that couple HDAC inhibitors and APDs for better treatment results in aged populations.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9828, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "a5b910f9e75d8979e9bdec5c76160d5fb4b7cf6d", "raw_chars": 1501, "clean_chars": 857, "edit_ratio": 0.3087, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I think the other thing you have to acknowledge here is what's happening in the gasoline market overall.

The cost of heating oil is rising as well, which is notable because it is not the season when one would typically expect a spike in oil prices. To understand what is driving these increases, NPR's Robert Siegel spoke with Phil Flynn, an analyst with PFG Best Futures in Chicago.\n\nRobert Siegel, host: As you have undoubtedly noticed at the gas pump, gasoline prices are back up. According to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline is now over $3. Why is this happening? That is the question we posed to Phil Flynn, senior market analyst for PFGBEST Research in Chicago.\n\nMr. Flynn, what is the answer? Why are prices rising?\n\nMr. Phil Flynn (Senior Market Analyst, PFGBEST Research): Well, partly because the economy is improving, believe it or not. We are seeing increased demand, not only here in the United States but throughout the globe, and that is driving up the price. But I wish that were the only factor at play. To be honest with you, what we are seeing in the price of gasoline should not be happening.\n\nSiegel: What are you talking about? What has happened that has aggravated this problem?\n\nMr. Flynn: Well, if you look over the past few weeks, you have to go back to the strikes in France. A few months ago, due to France's austerity package, the country shut down some major refineries. When those refineries went offline, Europe scrambled to secure supplies that would normally have been exported to the United States.\n\nAfter that, a series of refinery problems emerged. A refinery went down in Venezuela, another in St. Croix, and another on the East Coast. Before you knew it, gasoline prices began surging.\n\nSiegel: So as we try to figure out if what we are seeing at the gas stations nowadays is the new normal, or if it is returning to what it would have been absent the recession, what is it? Are we at an unusually high period, or will prices continue to climb as we get used to them?\n\nMr. Flynn: Well, there are projections out there suggesting people will see $5-a-gallon gasoline in the next two years. To be honest with you, I do not think that is going to happen. I think prices are ahead of themselves. In fact, if you look at the price of crude oil, which did hit a two-year high, the price of gasoline has even exceeded that. So gasoline prices should not be this high, and we should see these prices start to come back down.\n\nHowever, we have a situation where the U.S. dollar is very weak. We have seen significant stimulus to the U.S. economy, which generally puts more upward pressure on the price of oil and gasoline. Part of the reason is that as the dollar becomes weaker, and since the price of crude oil is priced in dollars, a drop in the dollar's value in the global marketplace leads to higher oil prices.\n\nSiegel: But does that mean that in other parts of the world, where people are filling up their cars with fuel paid for in euros, yen, or other currencies, they are not experiencing as steep an increase as we are here using the dollar at the pump?\n\nMr. Flynn: No, because the euro has been relatively strong.

Benjamin Strong, the influential Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a key figure in Friedman and Schwartz's narrative, held strong reservations about using monetary policy to try to arrest the stock market boom. Unfortunately, Strong was afflicted by chronic tuberculosis; his health was declining severely in 1928, and he died in October, taking his influence in the Federal Reserve System with him.\n\nThe \"antispeculative\" policy tightening of 1928-29 was affected to some degree by the developing feud between Strong's successor at the New York Fed, George Harrison, and members of the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. In particular, the two sides disagreed on the best method for restraining brokers' loans: the Board favored so-called \"direct action,\" essentially a program of moral suasion, while Harrison thought that only increases in the discount rate—the policy rate—would be effective. This debate was resolved in Harrison's favor in 1929, and direct action was dropped in favor of a further rate increase.\n\nDespite this internal dispute and its effects on the timing of policy actions, it would be incorrect to infer that monetary policy was not tight during the disagreement between Washington and New York. As Friedman and Schwartz noted, by July 1928, the discount rate had been raised in New York to 5 percent, the highest since 1921, and the System's holdings of government securities had been reduced from over $600 million at the end of 1927 to $210 million by August 1928, despite an outflow of gold. Hence, this period represents a tightening in monetary policy not related to the current state of output and prices—a monetary policy \"innovation,\" in today's statistical jargon.\n\nMoreover, Friedman and Schwartz pointed out that this tightening of policy was followed by falling prices and weaker economic activity. During the two months from the cyclical peak in August 1929 to the crash, production, wholesale prices, and personal income fell at annual rates of 20 percent, 7.5 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. Of course, once the crash occurred in October—the result, many students of the period have surmised, of a slowing economy as much as any fundamental overvaluation—the economic decline became even more precipitous.\n\nIncidentally, the case that money was quite tight as early as the spring of 1928 has been strengthened by the subsequent work of James Hamilton. Hamilton showed that the Fed's desire to slow outflows of U.S. gold to France—which, under the leadership of Henri Poincaré, had recently stabilized its economy, thereby attracting massive flows of gold from abroad—further tightened U.S. monetary policy.\n\nThe next episode studied by Friedman and Schwartz, another tightening, occurred in September 1931, following the sterling crisis. In that month, a wave of speculative attacks on the pound forced Great Britain to leave the gold standard. Anticipating that the United States might be the next to leave gold, speculators turned their attention from the pound to the dollar. Central banks and private investors converted a substantial quantity of dollar assets to gold in September and October of 1931.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9835, "chunk_idx": 7, "raw_sha1": "cf2af7d188d167b927ac64e48b98931d86e9cfac", "raw_chars": 3243, "clean_chars": 3240, "edit_ratio": 0.0014, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "They found that the countries that remained on gold suffered much more severe contractions in output and prices than the countries leaving gold.\n\nIn a highly influential paper, Eichengreen and Sachs (1985) examined a number of key macro variables for ten major countries over 1929-35, finding that countries that left gold earlier also recovered earlier.\n\nBernanke and James (1991) confirmed the findings of Eichengreen and Sachs for a broader sample of twenty-four (mostly industrialized) countries (see also Bernanke and Carey, 1996), and Campa (1990) did the same for a sample of Latin American countries.\n\nBernanke (1995) showed that not only did adherence to the gold standard predict deeper and more extended depression, as had been noted by earlier authors, but also that the behavior of various key macro variables, such as real wages and real interest rates, differed across gold-standard and non-gold-standard countries in just the way one would expect if the driving shocks were monetary in nature.\n\nThe most detailed narrative discussion of how the gold standard propagated the Depression around the world is, of course, the influential book by Eichengreen (1992).\n\nEichengreen (2002) reviews the conclusions of his book and concludes largely that they are quite compatible with the Friedman and Schwartz approach.\n\nThe Role of Bank Failures\n\nYet another striking feature of the Great Contraction in the United States was the massive extent of banking panics and failures, culminating in the Bank Holiday of March 1933, in which the entire U.S. banking system was shut down.\n\nDuring the Depression decade, something close to half of all U.S. commercial banks either failed or merged with other banks.\n\nFriedman and Schwartz take the unusually severe and protracted U.S. banking panic as yet another opportunity to apply their identification methodology.\n\nTheir argument, in short, is that under institutional arrangements that existed before the establishment of the Federal Reserve, bank failures of the scale of those in 1929-33 would not have occurred, even in an economic downturn as severe as that in the Depression.\n\nFor doctrinal and institutional reasons to be detailed in a moment, however, the extraordinary spate of bank failures did occur and led in turn to the massive extinction of bank deposits and an abnormally large decline in the stock of money.\n\nBecause the decline in money induced by bank panics would not have occurred under previous regimes, Friedman and Schwartz argued, it can be treated as partially exogenous and thus a potential cause of the extraordinary declines in output and prices that followed.\n\nBefore the creation of the Federal Reserve, Friedman and Schwartz noted, bank panics were typically handled by banks themselves--for example, through urban consortiums of private banks called clearinghouses.\n\nIf a run on one or more banks in a city began, the clearinghouse might declare a suspension of payments, meaning that, temporarily, deposits would not be convertible into cash.\n\nLarger, stronger banks would then take the lead, first, in determining that the banks under attack were in fact fundamentally solvent, and second, in lending cash to those banks that needed to meet withdrawals.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9838, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b8ea4233c0bce9cfb52e3238254c435a04d2dab5", "raw_chars": 3191, "clean_chars": 3262, "edit_ratio": 0.0618, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "“What an unlikely hero!” exclaimed Mike Breen, the play-by-play announcer for Game 3 of the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Houston Rockets playoff series, after Troy Daniels drained the tie-breaking three-pointer with 11 seconds remaining. The Rockets would not relinquish that lead, securing their lone victory in the series. The shot prompted headlines such as “Troy Daniels, D-League call-up, saves Rockets’ season,” “Rockets win game three thriller over Blazers as Troy Daniels shines,” and “Houston beats Portland on a game-winning 3-pointer by unheralded rookie Troy Daniels.” No one saw this coming, but should they have?\n\nHow unlikely was it that Daniels got a chance to shoot and drain that three? Not as unlikely as you might think. The five-man crew on the court during that shot included Dwight Howard, James Harden, Jeremy Lin, Patrick Beverley, and Daniels. Your first question must be: where is Chandler Parsons? Parsons entered overtime with five fouls and was called for his sixth just 1 minute and 40 seconds into the period, bringing in their next best bench shooter, Troy Daniels.\n\nIt made sense that he was on the court, but why did he get the ball? Let’s go back to Virginia Commonwealth University to answer that question.\n\nAfter toiling away on Shaka Smart’s “havoc”-based VCU teams for two years, Daniels was given a chance to come off the bench in his junior season. The shooting guard took almost seven threes per game for Smart, converting 38 percent of them. This jumped to 8.6 per game in his senior year, putting 40 percent of them through the net.\n\nStill, Daniels didn’t have much hype leading into the NBA draft, and that led to him going undrafted. He was signed by the Charlotte Bobcats originally, but an underwhelming performance in the Summer League resulted in Daniels being let go. He resurfaced once or twice with Houston, but spent the majority of the year with their D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.\n\nThe 6-foot-4 guard took more threes per game than any other player, by three. Daniels averaged 12.5 attempts per game from deep, while shooting 40.1 percent. High volume, high success as evidenced by his D-League shot chart.\n\nDaniels’ numbers from beyond the arc were so good that he broke the D-League record for the number of three-pointers made in a season in just his 20th game. He would finish with 240 makes on 599 attempts.\n\nThe Roanoke, Virginia native got into five games for the Rockets during the regular season, including the season finale against the New Orleans Pelicans where he took 11 threes, hitting six of them (54.5 percent).\n\nEarlier in the Game 3 win, Daniels went two-for-five from deep. All of this leads me to one conclusion: why was it such a surprise that Daniels was the one taking this shot? Yes, Harden, Lin, and probably even Beverley were more likely players to see take the shot, but would they have been the right decision? Maybe. But, looking at the play again, there is a scramble for the ball. Confusion ensues and Lin finds himself in the middle of three Blazers defenders. Lin finds Daniels calling for the ball on the left-wing. Harden is wide open in the right-corner, OK, that’s a surprise.

The third SLS launch, around 2032, would carry a deep-space habitat and a Mars Orbit Insertion Stage to Earth orbit.

However, when Tetzel left Leipzig, the nobleman attacked him along the way, gave him a thorough beating, and sent him back empty-handed to Leipzig with the comment that this was the future sin he had in mind. Duke George was initially furious about the incident, but when he heard the whole story, he let it go without punishing the nobleman.\n\nAt the time, a Dominican monk named Johann Tetzel served as the great mouthpiece, commissioner, and preacher of indulgences in Germany. His preaching raised enormous amounts of money, which were sent to Rome. This was particularly the case in the new mining town of St. Annaberg, where Friedrich Myconius listened to him for over two years. The claims of this uneducated and shameful monk were unbelievable. He said that even if someone had slept with Christ's dear Mother, the Pope had the power in heaven and on earth to forgive as long as the money was put into the indulgence coffer. And if the Pope would forgive, God also had to forgive. He further claimed that if people put money quickly into the coffer to obtain grace and indulgence, all the mountains near St. Annaberg would turn into pure silver. He asserted that in the very moment the coin rang in the coffer, the soul rose up to heaven. Such a marvellous thing was his indulgence. In sum and substance, God was no longer God, as he had bestowed all divine power upon the Pope: 'Tu es Petrus, tibi dabo claves, quodcunque.' And then there were the masters of the Inquisition, who banished and burned those saying conflicting words.\n\nThis indulgence was highly respected. When the commissioner was welcomed to town, the papal bull was carried on velvet or gold cloth. All the priests, monks, councilmen, teachers, pupils, men, women, maids, and children went to meet him, singing in a solemn procession with flags and candles. The bells tolled, and when he entered the church, the organ played. A red Cross was put up in the middle of the church to which the Pope's banner was affixed.

The nearcraft, the term for vessels that cruise near-space, coasted upward for about 90 minutes before the balloon popped as designed.

Contractors already have the bad news, he said, but it won’t stop there. \"The impacts will start to hit Toronto Hydro’s own workforce shortly,\" he added.

One source said layoff announcements could come as early as Thursday.\n\nAll the jobs being lost are on projects that Toronto Hydro has on its books to renew aging equipment. The company says it needs to spend heavily in coming years because its equipment isn’t as reliable as it should be. Much of it was installed in suburban areas during the boom years of the 1950s and 1960s, the company says. It’s now half a century old, and beyond its normal life expectancy.

The board pegged Toronto Hydro’s rate increase to a formula that will give the company an additional $140 million a year in revenue. The company had said it needs $500 to $600 million a year, costing a typical household an extra $5 a month. The energy board told Toronto Hydro it can re-apply for extra money if it’s needed.

The case and the grounds for impeachment proceedings against him are virtually ironclad. The evidence is compelling that Thomas perjured himself in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his court confirmation hearings in 1991. The evidence is equally compelling that this constituted lying under oath to Congress during the hearings.\n\nThe impeachment case against Thomas is not based on personal or political disagreement over his views, decisions, opinions, and rulings on the bench, his penchant for pornographic material, or for sexual harassment. It is based on clear legal and constitutional grounds, precedents, and Congressional mandates. Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly states that a Supreme Court Justice that \"lacks good behavior\" can be impeached. This is not an ambiguous, subjective term. It has been interpreted by the courts to equate to the same level of seriousness as the \"high crimes and misdemeanors\" clause that unequivocally mandates that the House of Representatives initiate impeachment proceedings against any public official, or federal judge in violation of that provision.\n\nThe Constitutional precept is the first legal ground for impeachment proceedings against Thomas. The second is Title 18 of the U.S. Code. It states that any official of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the government of the United States who knowingly and willfully falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact, makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry can be impeached. In other words, lying to Congress is not only an impeachable offense. It's also illegal.\n\nIt's also clearly established that a public official, whether the president, presidential appointees, or judges, can be punished for giving false information, and that's any false information of any nature to the House or Senate.\n\nThe Nixon impeachment debates and Clinton impeachment hearings were ample proof that the constitutional phrase of \"good behavior\" embraces not only indictable crimes but \"conduct ... grossly incompatible with the office held and subversive of that office and of our constitutional system of government.\"\n\nThomas was asked directly by Utah senator Orin Hatch during his confirmation hearings about Anita Hill's allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct and whether he used sexually suggestive language. Thomas answered: \"I deny each and every single allegation against me today that suggested in any way that I had conversations of a sexual nature or about pornographic material with Anita Hill, that I ever attempted to date her, that I ever had any personal sexual interest in her, or that I in any way ever harassed her.\"\n\nThomas was emphatic, \"If I used that kind of grotesque language with one person, it would seem to me that there would be traces of it throughout the employees who worked closely with me, or the other individuals who heard bits and pieces of it or various levels of it.\" This was stated under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9911, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "59cb077581e9c26812d679ff11f79a9585fa6e83", "raw_chars": 2223, "clean_chars": 2421, "edit_ratio": 0.4165, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The potential first default, even if it is not CEQ1 on January 31, would be significant given the experience of the US and Europe, where markets have tended to underestimate the initial event. Over the last year, China appeared to be mirroring the events of the US in 2007. This included a spike in money rates, with much higher repo and SHIBOR rates, a steepening of the money curve where 14-day money became much more expensive than overnight and 7-day rates, and small accidents here and there. For instance, junior tranches of a few wealth management products offered by Haitong Securities lost more than 60%, and a few small trusts, along with CEQ1, faced redemption difficulties.\n\nTheoretically, China's risk is best expressed using a China-related instrument, but we also believe the more liquid expression of China risk goes through the South Pacific. The following points outline our longer-term views on China and Australian rates.\n\nWe have found using Australian rates lower as a way to express concerns about China to be effective, and we continue recommending this as a theme.\n\nWe recommend a long position in Chinese government bonds (CGB) and an underweight position in credit products. The risk for such a positioning in the near term is that CEQ1 does not default. However, we believe any pain suffered due to overt market manipulation to avoid default will be short-lived, as it has become much harder to keep the debt-heavy system in balance, and credit spreads are bound to widen.\n\nAfter a brief flattening following a CEQ1 default, we see swap curve steepening as being more likely. This would be driven by growth concerns leading to easier monetary policy and more issuance going to the bond market.\n\nWe expect higher cross-currency swap (CCS) rates because the currency forward will more likely start expressing the risk.\n\nAs Michael Pettis, Jim Chanos, Zero Hedge (numerous times), George Soros, Barclays, and now Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) have explained, there is an unresolved self-contradiction in China's current policies: restarting the furnaces also reignites exponential debt growth, which cannot be sustained for much longer than a couple of years.\n\nThe \"eerie resemblances,\" as Soros previously noted, to the US in 2008 have profound consequences for China and the world.

The county has long maintained a gun ban at the government center on Marsh Lane, which houses justice of the peace and truancy courts.\n\nCounty officials have defended their interpretation of state law, arguing that they can ban guns throughout the entirety of a building that contains a government court. However, a Dallas resident filed a complaint about this setup in January under a new state law that allows Texans to formally challenge certain local \"no guns\" policies. The resident argued that a building-wide ban was illegal because the center also features non-court offices. Paxton's office told the county last week to remove the signs, stating that a reviewing court would likely conclude the county abused its discretion by extending the gun ban beyond the courtrooms and offices.\n\nThis decision is the latest twist in an escalating debate over what lawmakers intended years ago when they expanded the gun-free zone related to courts. It will force Dallas County officials to decide whether they want to be on the leading edge of the topic. \"We obviously disagree with the decision,\" said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, a Democrat. \"But we'll look at that and decide what would be in the best interests of our citizens going forward.\"\n\nThe wrangling stems from a little-noticed gun law passed last year. The measure, which went into effect in September, toughened a 2003 law that allowed gun license holders to carry at most property \"owned or leased by a governmental entity.\" Exceptions to that rule include schools, jails, courts, and a few other areas. Under the new law, the attorney general's office investigates complaints and decides whether to pursue legal action for fines. Nearly 60 complaints from all over Texas have been filed, covering zoos, city halls, courthouses, and government centers. Paxton, a Republican, recently issued rulings on at least 10 of those cases.\n\nOne ruling, announced last week, upheld the Dallas Zoo's gun ban. Six closed cases, such as at Melissa's City Hall, involved officials taking down the \"no guns\" signs in question. The remaining three notices of violations related to courts were sent to Dallas, Brazos, and McLennan counties.\n\nThe battle over guns in court facilities focuses on the word \"premises,\" which is defined in statute as a \"building or portion of a building.\" The Legislature in 2003 expanded the court-related gun-free zone to \"the premises of any government court or offices utilized by the court.\" Key lawmakers at the time said they wanted to prohibit guns inside courthouses. In one instance, the bill's sponsor, then-Rep. Suzanna Hupp, said the measure \"basically prohibits license holders from carrying in any building in which there is a courtroom.\" Many local governments, including Dallas County, have held that view since. However, some gun rights advocates have argued that this approach applies the law too broadly. Paxton stoked the debate last year by issuing a nonbinding opinion that, to avoid a lawsuit, counties and cities may bar the licensed carrying of handguns only from the courtrooms and offices themselves.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 9923, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "a2af5ce7e74de9a18ae0d065b486486fbd2f16cc", "raw_chars": 1183, "clean_chars": 1194, "edit_ratio": 0.1561, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In fact, most Americans will find it extremely odd that the USCIS action regarding the Oath of Allegiance is not illegal.

It greatly expands contributions to health savings accounts, which allow people with high-deductible insurance to cover expenses that their plans do not pay for.

These shows featured segments where men competed with the objective often being to reveal a woman in either skimpy clothes or nothing at all. These shows weren't primetime staples, and sex-soaked television was not unique to Japan in the early 1990s, but they did experience a heyday.\n\nSo the wacky Japanese game show cliché reflects real programming that once ruled the airwaves. However, for a show in 2013 to pretend this model remains dominant today is off base. Even though shows featuring physical punishment and nudity were popular, there were also plenty of Japanese people outraged by them. The non-profit, non-governmental Broadcasting Ethics & Program Improvement Organization set out to reform Japanese television, and in 1997 established The Broadcast and Human Rights / Other Related Rights Committee. This arm of the organization aids parties whose honor, privacy, or other human rights have been violated by broadcasting. The group proved to have sway, and by the year 2000, the \"punishment games\" and sexy late-night programming were gone or toned down drastically.\n\nThis, coupled with an interest in the show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, ushered in the age of Japanese game shows that remains today, ruled by quiz shows with famous contestants. Only one program, Panel Quiz Attach 25, features regular people playing. Everything else stars celebrities, finding them answering trivia questions while riding in fake rockets or guessing the price of items at grocery stores. The shows with actual physical contests are far more tame than Takeshi's Castle or anything from the '90s; the challenges these days more resemble those on Nickelodeon's Double Dare.\n\nSave for the viral spreading of \"Brain Wall\" (Human Tetris) and the continued success of Sasuke (closer to ESPN than The Game Show Network, and inspiring American shows Wipeout and Ninja Warrior), very little considered a game show in Japan as of late has been worthy of the \"wacky\" tag. A recent viral clip, dubbed \"Orgasm Wars,\" appeared on a late-night cable program on a special pay channel and introduced another round of Western tittering about Japan's supposed zaniness. It's not reflective of anything most Japanese people watch, and the clip was met with as much surprise by the nation's online community as it was overseas.\n\nMany viewers are starting to tire of what most of the nation watches, though. Stories on Japanese news aggregator sites like Matome Navier, Blogos, and Nifty News have focused on why viewers have taken to the Internet to bemoan how boring Japanese TV, in particular variety shows, have gotten. Popular TV presenter Dave Spector says the ease with which people can watch foreign television programs and then compare them to Japanese programming has also made audiences less interested in terrestrial options. Whatever the reason, Japanese TV today isn't pumping out anything as strange as outside nations make it seem.\n\nMarblemedia writes that Japanizi has already been pre-sold in over 120 countries and will debut on Disney Channels around the world next year. The show claims to double as an introduction to the Japanese language and Japanese culture, and as a means to spread that language and culture far and wide.

Souths released a statement on Tuesday morning confirming that both players had undergone off-season surgery, with no suggestion of wrongdoing at this stage.

It is not ecstasy or crystal meth. It stopped being about alcohol years ago. The problem is prescription drugs. Stillies, Oxies, Benzos... take your pick.\n\nThat is not being dramatic; it is being realistic, because those who deal with the issue on a daily basis are the ones who tell you. On Tuesday, I spoke at length to a player who has been grappling with addiction to prescriptions. Of course, his anonymity needs to be protected. It is a day-to-day battle. You soon learn, though, that you could be talking to any number of young footballers across the NRL when he tells you this: \"It's a massive issue for the game. All my mates have done it, and I would say one in two players have used some sort of painkiller. I became so addicted to them. The NRL needs to do something about this.\"\n\nIn some respects, it is. Last season, the NRL announced it would test for a range of prescription drugs, including Valium, Serepax, Mogadon, and Rohypnol, amid widespread rumours of their use at the World Cup the previous year. The tests were conducted for data-gathering purposes only, not to punish players, to determine the extent of the problem before determining if further action or sanctions were needed to stop their use. If a positive test comes back, a confidential meeting between the NRL, the club doctor, and the NRL's chief medical officer is established to determine why the player is taking the drug and whether he needs counselling or rehabilitation. This column understands the number of positive results from last season were so small the NRL decided to extend the testing to increase the sample size. It needs to press on because, anecdotally, the problem seems to have reached epidemic proportions. Last year, Warriors doctor John Mayhew, who was the long-time doctor of the All Blacks, described their use in the NRL as \"widespread\". Channel Nine and Fairfax columnist Danny Weidler broke the story about Walker and Gray on Tuesday, revealing Walker's sister had said her brother had taken \"oxycodone and Tramadol\".\n\nThese are serious substances. According to those who have used it, oxycodone has a similar effect to morphine. Colloquially, it is known as \"hillbilly heroin\". Tramadol is said to be the opiate of choice among league players at the moment. Drugs like Xanax fall into the category of benzodiazepines, or \"benzos\" as the players call it, and if you take enough of them you can hallucinate, seeing objects and people who aren't there. \"They are all from different families,\" explains one player. \"But they have the same effect.

Collapsing the buttstock shortens the weapon by nearly eight inches, facilitating easier storage and transportation, and allowing for better maneuverability around tight corners and over obstacles. The M4 is also available with a fixed stock, offering both pistol grip and semi-pistol grip styles. However, the M4 is no longer sold to civilians in the United States with the skeleton fixed stock (model M11707); Benelli only offers the M4 with a fixed pistol grip style tactical stock domestically.

The M4 shotgun is sold in three configurations: the M4 Entry with a 14-inch barrel, the standard M4 with an 18.5-inch barrel, and the M1014, which bears the \"M1014\" nomenclature for military usage only. M4 shotguns sold through Benelli Tactical are available with the collapsible buttstock.\n\nBenelli Tactical and Beretta Law Enforcement maintain the position that, while the collapsible buttstock is no longer illegal in the United States, it should only be made available to law enforcement and government agencies.

Benelli Tactical does sell the stock piece for retrofitting the pistol grip stock for $150, though it must be direct-shipped from Italy.

The research, conducted by Tufts University, attributes 133,000 of these deaths to diabetes, 45,000 to cardiovascular disease, and 6,450 to cancer.\n\nApproximately three-fourths of the deaths linked to sugary drinks occurred in developing countries. Latin America experienced particularly high death rates, with Mexico leading at 405 deaths per million adults, totaling around 24,000 deaths. The United States ranked fourth, with 125 deaths per million adults. Researchers gathered data on deaths and disabilities from 2010 and calculated the direct public health impact of sugar-sweetened beverages using dietary surveys covering over 600,000 individuals. The study considered various beverages, including sugar-sweetened sodas, fruit drinks, energy drinks, sweetened iced teas, and homemade sugary drinks like frescas.\n\nThe American Beverage Association initially dismissed the study when it was presented as an abstract to the American Heart Association in 2013, criticizing its lack of peer review. In a statement released Tuesday, the ABA argued that the study does not prove a causal link between sugar-sweetened beverages and chronic diseases, noting that the authors themselves acknowledged they were merely estimating effects. The association emphasized that American beverage companies are providing consumers with fact-based information and options to make informed choices.\n\nNow that the study has undergone peer review, its authors remain confident in their findings.

True, external facts belonging to one or another sphere may have exercised a codetermining influence on this development, but the tacit presupposition is that these facts themselves are also only the fruits of a process of thought, and so we still remain within that realm of mere thought, which apparently has successfully digested even the hardest facts.\n\nIt is above all this semblance of an independent history of state constitutions, of systems of law, of ideological conceptions in every separate domain that dazzles most people. If Luther and Calvin \"overcome\" the official Catholic religion, or Hegel \"overcomes\" Fichte and Kant, or Rousseau with his republican Contrat social indirectly \"overcomes\" the constitutional Montesquieu, this is a process which remains within theology, philosophy, or political science. It represents a stage in the history of these particular spheres of thought and never passes beyond the sphere of thought. And since the bourgeois illusion of the eternity and finality of capitalist production has been added as well, even the overcoming of the mercantilists by the physiocrats and Adam Smith is accounted as a sheer victory of thought; not as the reflection in thought of changed economic facts but as the finally achieved correct understanding of actual conditions subsisting always and everywhere. In fact, if Richard Coeur-de-Lion and Philip Augustus had introduced free trade instead of getting mixed up in the crusades, we should have been spared five hundred years of misery and stupidity.\n\nThis aspect of the matter, which I can only indicate here, we have all, I think, neglected more than it deserves.

The basis of this is the common undialectical conception of cause and effect as rigidly opposite poles, the total disregarding of interaction.

Now this baby we’ve labored over is out and it’s time to party!\n\nThat’s why we’re hosting an all-male, all-white panel tomorrow at Lily White Books in Mansfield, SC, to celebrate the anthology’s release and your contributions to it.

This concept refers to the potential for building complex structures, machines, and computing engines at the scale of individual molecules and atoms. Nowhere is this potential more evident than at the NanoTech Complex, a sprawling facility run by the college. Spanning more than a half-dozen buildings across three locations, the $14 billion campus encompasses 800,000 square feet packed with advanced laboratories and computer-chip manufacturing equipment. Here, approximately 2,600 researchers, engineers, and technicians—working for the U.S. military, international research institutions, and the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers—are pushing into ever smaller realms. Their quest aims to produce faster, more energy-efficient computers, micro-electromechanical systems, and sensors capable of being embedded in everything from helicopter rotor blades to human teeth.\n\nTechnicians and engineers, dressed head-to-toe in white gowns, work in clean rooms behind glass, isolated from the outside world and its microscopic, airborne contaminants. They handle 300- and 450-millimeter-diameter silicon wafers, moving them from toolbox-sized front-opening unified pods (FOUPs) into multimillion-dollar photolithography, deposition, and other chip-manufacturing machines. Layer by layer, these machines build the transistors, wiring, and other components of the microscopic circuits that comprise advanced computer chips in development. Workers transport carts of plastic-wrapped FOUPs from one ultraclean building to another along enclosed walkways, creating the impression of an enclosed city built to house the technologies of the very small.\n\nThe director of this complex is Alain Kaloyeros, the CEO of the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and a professor of nanoscience. Eschewing suits in favor of ripped jeans and black, three-button long-sleeve T-shirts, the fifty-something Greek-Lebanese academic has united a university, top semiconductor and computer manufacturers including IBM, Intel, Samsung, and GlobalFoundries, and U.S. government research entities within a single facility. This unique arrangement makes it the only research center of its kind in the world. While all major chip-makers maintain their own labs, nowhere else do they share facilities with competitors and students working side by side on the same state-of-the-art equipment.\n\nKaloyeros describes the result as a kind of nanotech Switzerland—a neutral ground where researchers and engineers can pool their resources and talents to achieve breakthroughs that would be out of reach elsewhere. \"You can have the best subsidy ever from companies,\" he noted during a recent public talk at the complex, \"but if you don't have the right educational programs and the right innovation at the university, they're never going to stay.\"\n\nA key aspect of the complex's work involves developing not only prototypes of new technologies but also the manufacturing techniques required to produce them at the scale necessary for industrial production.

Winter testing remains a notoriously deceptive time, but the W04 has shown promising pace. Hamilton will get the maximum out of every car he drives, particularly in qualifying, but if the W04 cannot preserve its tyres then it will be a tricky season. Nevertheless, Hamilton is particularly effective at circuits such as Montreal and Yas Marina. One intriguing aspect will simply be Lewis Hamilton without McLaren. Hamilton was never the most assertive driver on the grid when at McLaren—think of his tyre calls against Button's—so how will he take on the coveted mantle of team leader at Mercedes?\n\nPrediction: There may well be races where the W04 is strong.

Hulkenberg has an abundance of talent that should gel well with the Swiss team; after all, how frequently does Hulkenberg get into trouble on the track?

Before hospitals and advances in health care, not all that many survived into adulthood.\n\nThis question originally appeared on Quora. The answer is by Dan Holliday.\n\nAll modern societies evolved out of agrarian societies. Before the Industrial Revolution, male endurance and physical strength translated directly into political power. Men fought in wars, hunted beasts, erected buildings, and plowed fields precisely because they possessed the physical stamina to do so at a far greater degree than females.\n\nI am a huge fan of saying, \"History does not occur in a vacuum.\" Which is a fancy way of saying that things throughout human history happen for very good reasons. Back before the Industrial Revolution, human fertility was the highest premium factor in existence. People lived to have babies, and babies were the most important thing men and women brought into the world. The female role in reproduction involves a lot more time, effort, and pain, and before recently, a hell of a lot of death. Every moment women spent pregnant was time that they would have been taken away from power-playing.\n\nThis was for a very good reason, reasons that no longer exist and a reality we now live in that we take for granted. More than half of all human beings died before their second birthday. Life was largely physically challenging, oftentimes painful, and disease was relatively rampant. Life wasn't quite as short as most people make it out to be. Mean life expectancy was around 38 years because of child mortality, but only another 10 years is added once we factor in those who make it to their teens, meaning that life expectancy hovered around 48, which is still awfully short.\n\nSo, to put it plainly, women had a place in society that wasn't just dictated by male prejudice, while it certainly existed; it was dictated by the needs of society. Gestating was and is a very time-consuming affair. Rearing children could not be done in day-care centers or public facilities. There were no public schools, no social safety nets, no labor laws. All that existed was family and church, temple, or mosque, and religious organizations weren't in the business of providing much in the way of social safety nets. Women were needed at home because the lack of sophistication in society basically relegated most men and women into the roles that they had: men as physical power and social managers, and women as home power and child-bearers.\n\nWe, and I am a passionate gender egalitarian, may want to say it was because of \"those prejudiced men who kept women down!\" but that's just a bit too simplistic. Even women back then didn't question their role; even women in power, like queens, believed in those roles. Nobody knew any different. There were very real reasons rooted all the way back into the dawn of humanity, lost to the obscurity of the ages. But we know, most definitely, that the gender roles played by men and women were necessary for society to continue because life was physical, generally short, and dependent upon those roles.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10005, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5a55822a71da18fb5a6a85a28c4597ceb8850fb9", "raw_chars": 3454, "clean_chars": 3352, "edit_ratio": 0.4484, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Football is not always about beauty.

It wasn't enough to steal a win, but it was the first time in the series that Calgary even looked like it belonged on the ice with Anaheim. That's not much, but it's something.\n\nIt does not apply to Minnesota and Montreal. The Wild weren't dominated in the two games in Chicago; with a break or two, they could have won either. But seeing Chicago's biggest starts come through in Game 2 had to be at least a little demoralizing, especially in a game that seemed to be there for the taking early in the third. As for the Canadiens, the less said about Game 2, the better.

They pulled off an overtime win in Game 3, evened the series in Game 4, and then went on to win the series in seven.\n\nAs for the Flames, they hadn't won a playoff round in more than a decade until last week, so there are no comebacks to be found in recent team history. But head coach Bob Hartley can at least draw on his own history; way back in 1999, his Avalanche fell behind 2-0 to the Red Wings before dominating the rest of the series, outscoring Detroit 19-7 along the way. It's a long time ago, but it's something.\n\nIt does not apply to Montreal. Andrei Markov was on the 2004 team that came back against the Bruins, but that's about it. They have blown 2-0 leads against the Hurricanes in 2006 and Bruins in 2011, so maybe they learned something there.\n\nThe Factor: An Established Star Who Can Take Over a Game", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10032, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "2ed2fcaba89a3ad029512714dc564c8956a2ea4b", "raw_chars": 3449, "clean_chars": 2847, "edit_ratio": 0.6182, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Spencer says, \"I have actually had people contact me and say, 'I understand you're the American representative for Vlaams Belang.'

The more creatively defamatory the whole dispute becomes, the further it moves from the issues around which Johnson and Spencer and many others have supposedly reframed their lives. But I never got the sense that any of it was put forth by Johnson, either in person or on the blog, in anything other than perfect earnestness. He came of age, as a writer and as a public figure, in the culture of damnation by link, and he does not exempt himself from its logic.\n\nThus in retrospect it also seems clear that the Vlaams Belang blog war, with its attendant scary buzzwords (\"fascist,\" \"racist,\" \"Nazi\"), gave Johnson the intellectual cover to do something he wanted to do anyway, which was to conduct a kind of public self-purge of the alliances he acquired on the road to fame.\n\nThe questioning of Johnson's tactics started to come not just from without L.G.F. but also from within. Readers both casual and loyal spoke up in the comment threads to ask, sometimes diplomatically and sometimes not, whether all this casual flinging of epithets like \"fascist\" wasn't maybe an overreaction. Johnson's response, in thousands of cases, was to block their accounts and ban some of them from viewing the blog. \"Get off my Web site\" was a common farewell. (Johnson insists that this is not true—that no one has ever been banned from L.G.F. merely for disagreeing with him—but the anecdotal evidence to the contrary is voluminous, and the fact that the offending comments were instantly and permanently deleted makes it impossible to check others' records against his.)\n\n\"Running a community is hard,\" says Markos Moulitsas of the liberal Web site Daily Kos, \"and I don't criticize people for the approaches they take in trying to control their sites.

He posts much more frequently than he used to, often focusing on references to himself elsewhere on the Internet. He frequently breaks into comment threads—such as a recent discussion about the relative merits of top- versus front-loaded washing machines—solely to call commenters' attention to yet another perceived attack on him posted at some other site. On the home page, visitors can click to see the Top 10 comments of the day, as voted on by registered users. Typically, half of those comments are from Johnson himself. Even longtime commenters have been disappeared for one wrong remark, or one too many. When it comes to wondering where they went or why, a kind of fearful self-censorship prevails. He has banned readers simply because he saw them commenting on other sites of which he does not approve. He reminds them, as he always does, that he is always watching. L.G.F. still boasts more than 34,000 registered users, but the comment threads are dominated by the same two dozen or so names. A handful of those users have been empowered by Johnson sub rosa to watch over the comments as well, deleting critical remarks and, if necessary, recommending offenders for banishment. It is a cult of personality—not that there is any compelling reason, really, that it or any blog should be presumed to be anything else.\n\n\"This is one area where I did change,\" Johnson admitted. \"I realized you can't just let it be free speech.

In the voluminous comment thread attached, Johnson was characteristically interested less in discussing the break itself than in discussing the reaction to it. He called readers' attention to the number of times the post was \"re-tweeted,\" linked to attacks on him, and cited praise from quarters that not long ago would have considered him toxic.

In my own locale of Kensington Market, for example, we have restaurants featuring Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Tibetan, Indian, Afghan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Spanish, Greek, American, Mexican, French Caribbean, Jamaican, Colombian, and Venezuelan cuisine – and that’s not to mention other eateries that specialise in vegetarian, seafood, apple pie, and grilled cheese sandwiches.

I’ve since learnt that it’s pretty much compulsory to tip every waiter, barman, taxi driver, and concierge in the US, but the rules are a little more lax in Canada, I guess because the service wage is higher.

Originally published at Corrente\n\nRemember, passing Fast Track in the Senate was supposed to be the easy part. Not only did Fast Track get rejected on its first try — “Welcome aboard the S.S. Lame Duck, Mr. President!” — now we get this. Ryan Grim explains:\n\nThe Senate approved a bill to “fast-track” trade agreements negotiated by the president. The agreement will prevent Congress from amending or filibustering Obama’s controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. The TPP deal would have a hard time surviving without fast-track authority. But a key crackdown on human trafficking survived the legislative jujitsu. The White House considers the provision a deal-breaker, as it would force one of the nations involved in the TPP talks — Malaysia — out of the agreement .\n\nFrom the US State Department:\n\nMalaysia (Tier 3 [the worst]) is a destination and, to a lesser extent, a source and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and women and children subjected to sex trafficking. The overwhelming majority of trafficking victims are among the estimated two million documented and two million or more undocumented foreign workers in Malaysia. Foreign workers typically migrate willingly to Malaysia from other countries in Asia—primarily Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Nepal, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Thailand, and Laos—in search of greater economic opportunities.\n\nHere I pause to note that somebody decided that it would be a good idea for the US to take in the Rohingya, the Muslim boat people who have turned to traffickers to escape a slow motion Burmese genocide, after which the Malaysians offered temporary, one-year status to such Rohingya as actually reach their shores.\n\nSome of the migrants subsequently encounter forced labor or debt bondage at the hands of their employers, employment agents, or informal labor recruiters. Many Malaysian recruitment companies, known as “outsourcing companies,” recruit workers from foreign countries. Contractor-based labor arrangements of this type—in which the worker may technically be employed by the recruiting company—create vulnerabilities for workers whose day-to-day employers generally are without legal responsibility for exploitative practices. In some cases, foreign workers’ vulnerability to exploitation is heightened when employers neglect to obtain proper documentation for workers or employ workers in sectors other than that for which they were granted an employment visa. In addition, a complex system of recruitment and contracting fees, often deducted from workers’ wages, makes workers vulnerable to debt bondage. A Malaysian government policy implemented in January 2013 that places the burden of paying immigration and employment authorization fees on foreign workers, rather than the employers, increased this risk.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10053, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6fb53d9ada7f94dca028e72416d1f85af968077d", "raw_chars": 2977, "clean_chars": 2858, "edit_ratio": 0.6888, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At first glance, Foster + Partners' new Apple store in Hangzhou, China, appears similar to its other locations. The British architecture firm, led by Norman Foster, began designing for Apple in 2009 when Steve Jobs commissioned them to create the new Cupertino headquarters. Aside from that massive, circular building, Foster's subsequent designs for Apple have largely been variations on the theme of the enormous glass box. This style aligns perfectly with Apple's brand: it reflects the sleekness of the products sold inside and matches the company's minimalist packaging, which is a key component of its design ethos.\n\nThe Hangzhou store suggests that Foster + Partners is seeking to make Apple's already pared-down retail spaces even more minimalist, pushing the boundaries of modern structural engineering in the process. The store's ceilings soar to nearly 50 feet without a single column in sight. The glass façade extends from floor to ceiling without interruption, requiring the firm to exceed previous achievements in glass manufacturing to produce 11 seamless panes. For comparison, the glass cube leading to Apple's busy subterranean Fifth Avenue store in New York stands 32 feet tall, while the curved glass entrance to the Shanghai store reaches 40 feet. The Cupertino campus itself will feature enormous curved glass panels.\n\nThe airy interior is divided only by a thin cantilevered second floor, which is just 10 centimeters thick at its narrowest point. This upper level appears to float over the ground floor without visible suspension or support, creating a glowing ceiling above the trademarked retail space. Tuned-mass dampers were installed at the floor's anchor points to prevent footsteps from causing the structure to sway. While this technique is not new—skyscrapers in Japan use massive suspended counterweights to resist earthquake movement, and Foster + Partners previously retrofitted London's Millennium Bridge with dampers after it began swaying—it has little precedent in a retail setting. The architects describe the space as \"a new living room for the city,\" though it is an exceptionally refined one. Even the bolts securing the staircase are precisely embedded within the glass steps, creating the illusion of a floating glass staircase.\n\nWhile many Apple stores feature glass façades and embrace minimalist design, each new location in China represents an investment in increasingly advanced manufacturing techniques. The Hangzhou store, one of five opening in China, marks the next evolutionary step in Apple's retail design.

The teenager, a devoted soccer and Red Bulls fan who is a member of a supporters club, is even an intern with local team Jersey Express and is hoping for a career in sports.

On battlefields such as Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg, the death toll averaged 425 men per day. This continued for 1,458 consecutive days, leaving an estimated 620,000 dead when the last shots were fired. If this casualty rate applied to today's population, it would stand at around 6 million, making the body count proportionately far greater than the number of fatalities the United States experienced during World Wars I and II combined.\n\nThe Civil War left an enormous imprint on the American consciousness in much the same way that World War I did on the European mindset. For both wars, the notion of remembrance is sacrosanct. However, while the Great War is often spoken about in terms of regret, failure, and unnecessary loss of human life—where soldiers died for nothing more than violence for the sake of violence—the Civil War, in American culture at least, is seen as a necessary struggle. It is viewed as a conflict that finally solidified the ideas that the Founding Fathers had laid more than 80 years previously when they launched a republic. Put simply, the Civil War is seen as the American Revolution part two.\n\nIn recent years, the enormous scale of destruction has been the focus of fascinating texts. Drew Gilpin Faust's \"This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War\" is one such example. Many scholars had previously believed that a new phase of violence, in which technological advances made it increasingly possible to slaughter large numbers of people at a time, only became possible during World War I. But Faust argues that, relative to scale, the Civil War was as violent as anything that followed in the 20th century.\n\nDuring the Civil War, 3.5 million men bore arms. This made up almost the entire population of those who were of military age in both the South and the North. The scales of the armies were enormous, too: in a single battle there might be 100,000 men on each side, and casualty rates ran as high as 20 to 25 percent. Cities were razed. Thousands of prisoners of war starved to death. And many were simply shot and left to die on the roadside.\n\nIn \"The American Civil War,\" John Keegan pays close attention to what can only be described as the sensual elements of horror. He delineates how hundreds of thousands of men living in the Gilded Age—despite trying to put the memories of the war to bed—could never forget the horrors of dismembered bodies, decapitations, and the files of corpses ranging so close in roadways or trenches that stepping on them was often unavoidable.\n\nAs a result, the Civil War is largely viewed in the minds of Americans in terms of the American experience. It was a war fought on U.S. soil, by U.S. citizens, for the future of the U.S. Yet, the Civil War still remains the only large-scale conflict ever fought between citizens of the same democratic state. What about its impact on the rest of the world? According to John Keegan, \"In Europe, the military significance of the war, though it was the costliest of the nineteenth century, was largely ignored.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10062, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "fcdcb40883a505eaca41a76cd608fedd1f129474", "raw_chars": 3113, "clean_chars": 3065, "edit_ratio": 0.0557, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The international governing body for the sport is the International Federation of American Football (IFAF). Although the organization oversees international competitions played under American rules, its definition of the game is broad enough to include Canadian football under its umbrella, and Football Canada, the governing body for Canadian football, is an IFAF member.\n\nAmerican football teams and organizations subsequently adopted new rules that distinguished the game from rugby. Among the most consequential changes was the adoption of the forward pass in 1906, which allowed the quarterback to throw the ball forward over the line of scrimmage to a receiver. Canadian football remained akin to rugby for decades, though a progressive faction of players, chiefly based in the western provinces, demanded changes to the game based on innovations in American football. Over the years, the sport adopted more Americanized rules, though it retained some of its historical features, including a 110-yard field, 12-player teams, and three downs instead of four.\n\nThe sport developed from informal games played in North America during the 19th century. Early games had a variety of local rules and were generally similar to modern rugby union and soccer. By the 1860s, teams from universities were playing each other, leading to more standardized rules and the creation of college football. While several American schools adopted rules based on the soccer rules of the British Football Association, Harvard University held to its traditional \"carrying game\". Meanwhile, McGill University in Montreal used rules based on rugby union. In 1874, Harvard and McGill University in Montreal organized two games using each other's rules. Harvard took a liking to McGill's rugby-style rules, and subsequently played several other U.S. colleges over the next several years.\n\nThe football used in North American football has a distinct pointed shape, with a brown color and prominent laces to aid in throwing.\n\nThis is a minimal description of the game in general, with elements common to all or almost all variants of the game. For more specific rules, see each code's individual articles.\n\nPrior to the start of a game, a coin toss determines which team will kick off the ball to their opponent. Each team lines up on opposite halves of the field, with a minimum ten yards of space between them for the kickoff. The team receiving the ball can make a fair catch, which stops the play immediately, catch the ball and run it back until the ball carrier is tackled, or, if the ball is kicked out of bounds, let the ball go dead on its own. The last case usually happens when the ball is kicked all the way into or through the opponent's end zone, resulting in a touchback and the ball being brought several yards out of the end zone to begin play. A kicking team can, under special circumstances, attempt to recover its own kick, but the rules of the game make it very difficult to do so reliably, and so this tactic is usually only used as a surprise or desperation maneuver.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10073, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "435fb55de716aea1dab0f8b794a8ea6446684ae2", "raw_chars": 954, "clean_chars": 935, "edit_ratio": 0.0196, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Remember when it was the liberal guests who ended up looking like sputtering morons on the O'Reilly Factor?

The Federal Communications Commission claimed it was closing the chat rooms, which it had never officially approved, until AOL could develop software capable of proving that no child pornography was being traded there. The only way to achieve this, according to the FCC, was to exercise the right to open and inspect every file and text message, a measure the commission approved.\n\nCiting software development challenges, online service providers requested that the deadline for framework specifications be extended from July 1995 to July 1996. The FCC granted this extension.\n\nBecause the World Wide Web had not yet gained widespread traction, major platforms like eBay, Amazon, and ESPN.com did not launch in 1995. Meanwhile, Michael Kinsley, who had been collaborating with AOL on a proposed online magazine, returned to The New Republic as editor after AOL canceled the project.\n\nIn a notable career shift, Marc Andreessen earned a promotion to day manager at Taco Bell.\n\nIn Bangalore, India, a computer science student named Raman Desai stumbled upon Andreessen’s browser while exploring the Internet. Inspired by this discovery, he decided to design his own web browser.\n\nIn September 1996, Microsoft, whose largest individual stockholders were Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Steve Ballmer—who were raising millions for the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign—won the FCC’s online design competition. Microsoft named its proposed online-unifying platform \"Bob.\"\n\n\"This award is made purely on the technical merits,\" the FCC chairman remarked.\n\nThe FCC was particularly impressed by the \"back door\" Microsoft had built into Bob, which would make it easier for law enforcement to monitor communications in real time. The commission also praised Microsoft's forward-thinking approach for incorporating a virtual \"V-chip\" into Bob. This censoring software was analogous to the V-chip the FCC wanted TV manufacturers to include in their sets to block violent and mature programming from being viewed by children.\n\nRegulators also appreciated Bob because it created more \"Channels\" for police, fire departments, libraries, city councils, legislatures, courts, and public service messages than the other proposed systems. However, Bob testers complained that these channels left little room for the data, information, and communications users expected to find on an online system. One tester compared Bob to a government-designed version of the Yellow Pages, only duller. Another lamented the \"Wild West\" days of the unregulated online world, when users did not have to pay virtual \"parking\" fees to their local municipality before shopping in an online mall.\n\nDespite these features, public access advocates were not satisfied. Cass R. Sunstein, the FCC's \"fairness czar,\" argued that preferential placement of plentiful noncommercial sites was not enough. He convinced the FCC to require right-wing channels to link to left-wing channels, Christian channels to link to Muslim channels, and vegetarian channels to link to meat-eating channels.\n\n\"The [linking] icon itself would not require anyone to read anything,\" Sunstein wrote. \"It would merely provide a signal, to the viewer, where a different point of view might be consulted.\" The FCC approved Sunstein's plan for a \"Fairness Doctrine\" for the online world and established a new Bureau of Links to enforce the practice.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10081, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "7fe3789d08acfbbd8951b484590dc1b5876e4ca8", "raw_chars": 3418, "clean_chars": 2530, "edit_ratio": 0.2226, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "About the Author\n\nAlex is a front-end developer who specializes in JavaScript development. He has developed everything from WordPress websites to complex e-commerce applications.\n\nRedux: An Introduction\n\nRedux is one of the hottest libraries in front-end development these days. However, many people are confused about what it is and what its benefits are. As the documentation states, Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. To rephrase that, it’s an application data-flow architecture, rather than a traditional library or a framework like Underscore.js and AngularJS.\n\nRedux was created by Dan Abramov around June 2015. It was inspired by Facebook’s Flux and the functional programming language Elm. Redux gained popularity very quickly because of its simplicity, small size (only 2 KB), and great documentation. If you want to learn how Redux works internally and dive deep into the library, consider checking out Dan’s free course.\n\nRedux is used mostly for application state management. To summarize it, Redux maintains the state of an entire application in a single immutable state tree (object), which can’t be changed directly. When something changes, a new object is created using actions and reducers. We’ll go over the core concepts in detail below.\n\nHow Is It Different From MVC and Flux?\n\nTo give some perspective, let’s take the classic model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, since most developers are familiar with it. In MVC architecture, there is a clear separation between data (model), presentation (view), and logic (controller). There is one issue with this, especially in large-scale applications: the flow of data is bidirectional. This means that one change, such as a user input or API response, can affect the state of an application in many places in the code—for example, through two-way data binding. That can be hard to maintain and debug.\n\nFlux is very similar to Redux. The main difference is that Flux has multiple stores that change the state of the application, and it broadcasts these changes as events. Components can subscribe to these events to sync with the current state. Redux doesn’t have a dispatcher, which in Flux is used to broadcast payloads to registered callbacks. Another difference in Flux is that many varieties are available, and that creates some confusion and inconsistency.\n\nBenefits of Redux\n\nYou may be asking, “Why would I need to use Redux?” Great question. There are a few benefits of using Redux in your next application:\n\nPredictability of outcome", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10087, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6da122db0b4c97f6b919f430e76e213f89c22e57", "raw_chars": 1951, "clean_chars": 1951, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "MONTREAL – One of the fastest-growing residential and commercial areas of Montreal is in dire need of a metro line extension to the Bois-Franc train station, according to the mayor of Ville Saint-Laurent.\n\nAlan DeSousa told Global News he would like to see the STM Orange Line push farther north to the AMT Bois-Franc station.\n\nDeSousa argues there is a critical mass of both residents and workers who would benefit from such an extension.\n\n“If we’re looking at ways in which we can move large amounts of people quickly, cheaply and efficiently; particularly if we want to reduce greenhouse gasses and want to offer the people the services such that they stay off the roads and use public transit, the orange line is a no-brainer,” DeSousa said.\n\nThe area near the Bois-Franc station is undergoing a commercial and residential renaissance of sorts.\n\nThe last of four phases of a massive housing project is currently underway.

First, they sought to change the terms of the Department of Energy's $25 billion in no- to low-interest loans. While the money was originally intended for the development of fuel-efficient vehicles, automakers argued it should be freed up to meet current capital needs. The industry pushed for an immediate disbursement of these funds, which had been signed into law by President George W. Bush on September 30.\n\nSecond, they aimed to secure a portion of the already-approved banking bailout funds. Sympathetic lawmakers called for auto lenders, if not the manufacturers themselves, to receive some of the $700 billion bailout fund set aside for financial institutions.\n\nThird, they wanted to revisit the $10 billion in federal assistance for a GM-Chrysler merger. The outcome of the merger talks between the two companies may have hinged on whether they could secure government aid, with negotiations expected to intensify after the election.\n\nFinally, there were implicit threats regarding the new administration. Altman, an Obama supporter who had served as deputy secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton, noted that one or more automaker failures \"would be a difficult way for a brand-new administration\" to take office.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10099, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c6d3cc692a003dfb4c842ce0dfb9182ab35c4666", "raw_chars": 3078, "clean_chars": 3098, "edit_ratio": 0.012, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Start with the homeowner. Homes are highly leveraged purchases, whether the down payment is 20 percent, 10 percent, or 0 percent. Owners of existing homes are reluctant to mark down the value of their homes by 20 percent overnight because, in many instances, it will wipe out their equity. Homebuilders and condo developers do not like to lower prices quickly because it makes those who bought in their development five months earlier feel like chumps. The banks do not want to concede that the houses they lent against are suddenly worth a great deal less than they were a few months ago. Investors who bought the bonds created by slicing and dicing mortgages—and then leveraged up their positions by borrowing money—get massacred when prices fall. The same holds true for bond insurers like Ambac and MBIA, which insured structured finance products created by lashing groups of mortgage-related securities together.\n\nAnd so, since the bubble popped and home prices ceased to rise, desperate players in the market have taken a series of actions intended to delay price discovery in housing. Rather than cut prices, sellers began to throw in free cars or other inducements to buyers who paid the asking price. Brokers reduced their commissions. Builders started including all sorts of extras, such as fancy kitchens and pools, for no additional price. Every link in the chain sacrificed margins and profits rather than cut prices. The Wall Street Journal reported last year that homebuilders were funneling large cash payments to buyers through third-party marketers, in effect reducing the price buyers had to pay while publicly reporting that sales prices remained buoyant.\n\nSuch measures were like throwing sandbags at a rising river. And it hasn’t worked. The carnage in subprime loans has led to a spate of foreclosures. When banks or investors take over properties, they recoup whatever they can by placing it on the market quickly and accepting any reasonable offer. When foreclosed properties are dumped onto the market and sold at fire-sale prices, they establish new comparable sales on a given street or neighborhood. It might take a solvent home-seller 18 months to mark down the price of his house by 20 percent. A bank will do it in 18 days.\n\nForeclosure also has the effect of hastening price discovery on the mortgages on those homes, and on the bonds backing them. Here, again, the impact can be devastating to those who bought the assets with a great deal of leverage. Hedge funds and other institutions sitting on the depreciating debt either had to put up more collateral to maintain their leveraged positions, or dump the assets to raise cash. Bond insurers must increase reserves to prepare for defaults of the bonds they insured. And if the bond insurers fail, the financial firms that purchased insurance from them will have to take their own write-downs. The potential for massive systemic problems is the reason there’s been so much discussion between financial institutions and government regulators about trying to orchestrate some sort of bailout for the bond insurers.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10102, "chunk_idx": 7, "raw_sha1": "921a88c4d70a0b2e3c2ad876f181d0f06091588d", "raw_chars": 2665, "clean_chars": 2608, "edit_ratio": 0.2835, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Pope Paul VI was troubled by the encyclical's reception in the West.

Paul heard him out and replied simply, \"Yes, pray for me; because of my weaknesses, the Church is badly governed.\" To remind his critics of the weight of their criticism, he pointed to the experience of Pope Saint Peter, noting, \"Now I understand St Peter: he came to Rome twice, the second time to be crucified,\" thereby directing their attention to his rejoicing in glorifying the Lord. Increasingly convinced that \"the smoke of Satan entered the temple of God from some fissure,\" Paul VI reaffirmed his support for Humanae Vitae on June 23, 1978, just weeks before his death. In an address to the College of Cardinals, he cited \"the confirmations of serious science\" and sought to affirm the principle of respect for the laws of nature and \"a conscious and ethically responsible paternity.\"\n\nLegacy\n\nAlthough polls indicate that many Catholics dissent from church teaching on contraception, there has been a resurgence of support for it among most practicing Catholics.

Along with numerous Catholic authors and speakers such as Christopher West, Matt Fradd, Jason Evert, and Leah Darrow, they are currently advancing a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Church's teaching regarding sex and marriage. At the official level, Catholicism's commitment to Humanae Vitae is more stable than ever. According to John L. Allen, Jr., \"In addition, three decades of bishops' appointments by John Paul II and Benedict XVI, both unambiguously committed to Humanae Vitae, mean that senior leaders in Catholicism these days are far less inclined than they were in 1968 to distance themselves from the ban on birth control, or to soft-pedal it. Some Catholic bishops have brought out documents of their own defending Humanae Vitae.\" Additionally, developments in fertility awareness since the 1960s have given rise to natural family planning organizations such as the Billings Ovulation Method, Couple to Couple League, and the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, which actively provide formal instruction on the use and reliability of natural methods of birth control.\n\nPope John Paul I", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10107, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a8f0d9b1cb833dbda50ddbdc102a2edbacbfa59c", "raw_chars": 1581, "clean_chars": 1579, "edit_ratio": 0.4342, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Feminist Ryan Gosling is not merely an internet meme; he is the real-life actor who genuinely appreciates women and holds the belief that they are superior to men.\n\nSpeaking to the Evening Standard, Gosling discussed his awareness of the male gaze and the frequent objectification of women. \"It's our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick,\" said the 35-year-old actor. \"I grew up with women, so I've always been aware of it.

Only two people cashed the smallest, $0.13 check, though.\n\nSpy also famously called Trump a \"short-fingered vulgarian,\" which he's never gotten over. Yes, this is why he talks about his hands all the time. It's because the people of New York City giggled about them about 30 years ago.

For a monthly fee of $25, subscribers receive email instructions outlining tasks for \"white people striving to be allies in the fight for Black Liberation.\" For $100 per month, customers receive a physical box mailed to their address containing monthly tasks designed to \"challenge white supremacy\" and help participants \"do tangible ally work and support black women in both power and deed.\"\n\nHeatStreet calculated the potential earnings based on subscriber distribution. Assuming that 90% of customers choose the $25 option and 10% opt for the $100 tier, the activists would generate $9,750 per month, or $117,000 annually. Because fulfilling new subscriptions requires minimal additional effort, their profit potential could grow exponentially with increased sign-ups. Some subscribers have publicly shared their participation on social media, posting messages such as \"Ready to get to work\" and \"Join me.\"\n\nAn example of the tasks included in the service involves \"buying Black,\" \"over-tipping Black service workers,\" and maintaining a \"power mapping journal\" to document how power dynamics affect marginalized communities. Additionally, the activists offer a \"Revenge Box\" for $50, which is sent to a Trump supporter, bigot, or white supremacist chosen by the subscriber.

In the absence of disturbing influences, the satellite would continue along its trajectory forever.\n\nHowever, there are small perturbing forces that slow the satellite down and change its orbit. The satellite's trajectory can, for instance, be influenced by the radiation pressure of sunlight. If a satellite with a large surface area is struck by a correspondingly large number of photons—the light particles of solar radiation—enough energy is transferred to change the satellite's motion.\n\nTraces of the Earth's atmosphere, which extend for hundreds of kilometers beyond the surface of the Earth, can have particularly strong perturbing effects. Friction with gas molecules of this residual atmosphere slows down every object that orbits the Earth, gradually bringing it down into a lower orbit. The GOCE satellite, scheduled to be launched this year, will be particularly affected by this problem. It will orbit at a relatively small distance of 260 kilometers from the surface of the Earth. For this reason, GOCE has a sleek aerodynamic design and comes equipped with special ion thrusters. These thrusters can accelerate the satellite and bring it back into a higher orbit or keep it in its designated orbit, a process called orbit control.\n\nSatellites use rocket propulsion for attitude and orbit control\n\nIn addition to this, satellites also need rocket propulsion systems so that they can be oriented in a certain direction, known as attitude control. This is necessary to ensure that the on-board camera is pointing towards the Earth, or that the solar arrays always face the Sun. For this reason, a satellite is equipped with a large number of small thrusters on its outer surface. These thrusters are fired briefly when required, so that the satellite starts to rotate slowly. As soon as the satellite has reached the desired position, thrusters are activated that fire in the opposite direction in order to stop the rotation.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10149, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "2f634ed53acbe662863ad57c87706814a2035954", "raw_chars": 2671, "clean_chars": 2676, "edit_ratio": 0.0021, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Still, Paik must have been excited about the new technology. Although it is not yet known how he physically traveled from the city to the labs in the New Jersey countryside, he visited every three or four days in the fall of 1967. Then, he started going less frequently.\n\n“He was frustrated because it was just too slow and not intuitive enough,” Zinman says. “Paik moved very fast. He once said his fingers worked faster than any computer. He thought the computer would revolutionize media—and he was right—but he didn’t like it.”\n\nThen he stopped going entirely.\n\n“It put a real financial strain on him,” Mansfield says. “Paik was a working artist, selling works of art to live, and he was also purchasing his own technology. He was becoming distracted by his electronic artworks.”\n\nNonetheless, Paik’s work at Bell Labs was important.\n\n“His idea was to take things apart,” Zinman says. “He was playful, interested in disrupting patterns. He wanted to rethink how media worked, just as he wanted TV to be a two-way communicative device, going back and forth. He was modeling a way for people to take control of the media, instead of being passive.”\n\nAdds Noll: “Bell Telephone Laboratories was a tremendous place to allow such artists access. I am working on documentation of the battle between Bell Labs management and one individual at AT&T who objected to work in computer art and other areas that this one person deemed ‘ancillary.’ In the end, the most senior management—William O. Baker—decided to ignore AT&T and follow the challenge of A.G. Bell to ‘Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods.’”\n\nPaik has never been more popular. There was recently a show of his work at the James Cohan gallery in New York; he was the subject of an entire booth at the recent Art Fair in New York and also appeared in a stand at the European Fine Art Fair this year in Maastricht, the Netherlands. His works are selling—and for hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece.

Among these additional costs are the double-tracking of the 688-kilometer line running from Port Klang in Selangor to Pengkalan Kubor in Kelantan, near the Thai border. People familiar with the matter note that the current figure also excludes land acquisition costs for the railway.\n\nThe revised cost is expected to fall somewhere between RM60 billion and RM70 billion, with more details anticipated to be released to the public by the end of the year. According to the Executive Summary of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report on the ECRL project, the line is described as \"an electrified single track railway line built on a double track formation.\" This description implies that current plans only account for a single-track railway, despite the railway base being designed for a double-track line.\n\nThe EIA summary further states that the rail alignment will require the acquisition of 6,301.99 hectares of land. Of this total, 46% (3,390 hectares) is privately owned and spread across 8,699 lots. The acquisitions will be managed by the respective Directors General of Lands and Mines in each state. The EIA report's executive summary is available on the website of Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd (MRL), a special-purpose vehicle of the Minister of Finance Inc. established to manage the ECRL project.\n\nTouted as a game-changer for Malaysia, particularly for the east coast of the peninsula, the ECRL is expected to reduce travel time from the Integrated Transport Terminal in Gombak, Selangor, to Wakaf Baru, Kelantan, to under four hours. This is a significant improvement compared to the current travel time of between eight and twelve hours. The alignment will connect Selangor across the Titiwangsa Mountains all the way to Kuantan Port City in Pahang, before heading northward along the eastern coast up to the Thai border, crossing Terengganu and Kelantan.\n\nUnder the first phase, which connects Gombak to Wakaf Bharu, there will be a total of 23 stations, according to MRL. A second phase will connect Gombak to Port Klang and Wakaf Bharu to Pengkalan Kubor. During the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kota SAS station in August, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak set a deadline of July 2024 for the entire railway line to become operational. He noted that 30% of the project would involve Malaysian contractors, although rail industry players The Edge spoke to expressed caution about the scope of local contractors' involvement, as details remain scarce.\n\nIt remains unclear whether the July 2024 deadline already accounts for the double-tracking of the entire line. \"The viability of the ECRL is undisputed,\" the Prime Minister reportedly said, \"as it is estimated that 5.4 million passengers and 53 million tonnes of cargo will use the service annually by 2030 as the primary transport between the east coast and west coast.\" He added that \"the revenue from the operation of the ECRL is projected to be obtained through a transport ratio of 30% passengers and 70% freight.\"\n\nAbout 16.5% of the entire line will be elevated, involving a total of 80 bridges, some of which will be over 300 meters long.

It was a much better performance at Anfield, and while we were under pressure for parts of the game, we showed spirit, grit, and determination. This is something we have lacked in many games this season, and it appears that Slaven Bilic’s training ground disclosure about certain players not applying themselves had an effect, with a number of notable absences from the bench for Liverpool. These players were not injured; they were deliberately not selected.\n\nI thought Dimitri Payet showed fight, something that some have accused him of not doing, and once again James Reid was superb. Mark Noble continues to come under some criticism, and he is now needing to raise his game, with many players looking to come back into the starting eleven. I really like Noble and wouldn’t drop him yet, but in certain games you may need more intensity in your midfield.\n\nWe have drawn up a list of target players, nearly all of whom come from the domestic leagues. This is something I have covered in many of my columns and radio shows. We are targeting the big clubs, especially Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United, and we want proven domestic players, which is reassuring compared to our summer signings. The main targets I have all mentioned in previous columns, so the names will not surprise anyone. We will focus our attentions on a forward, possibly two, and a right back. We will also look to cover some of the players who are going to the African Nations Cup. These are likely to be Andre Ayew, Mamadou Sakho, Mehdi Feghouli, and Diafra Sakho.\n\nThe Marco Zaza deal is taking time to negotiate, and we have a couple of plans. One is to try to renegotiate the deal to take out the permanent signing clause, to organise for a buyer to take over the loan (with some interest from Spain and Italy), or to just not play him and take the loss of the loan fee, though of course this is the least preferred option. A number of players could leave the club. Álvaro Arbeloa was expected to leave, but his current complex injury problems mean this is now tricky. Arbeloa has proven to be a disappointment since his arrival, and despite Bilic and him attempting to have a closer working relationship, it wouldn’t surprise me if he left. Mehdi Feghouli could also be allowed to leave on loan too. Jonathan Calleri is currently injured and back in South America; it is also unlikely that he will stay in January, which will bring an end to quite a disappointing gamble. We only spent £1m on loan fees for him, though, so not too much is lost.\n\nIt was great to see a number of youngsters make the bench, including Alex Pike, who I was lucky enough to interview a few years back and is someone I also played for the same youth side as (although he is much younger than me, so we weren't together). We have many talented youngsters coming through. Reece Oxford is the highest profile, and I know I have said many times he should sign his contract soon. He turns 18 this Friday, and an announcement cannot be far off. He has now returned to training following his injury. Alex Martinez is another who has returned from injury and scored another goal for the development squad today.

Additionally, there is a talk on system debugging before you even turn the machine on—a topic that can save you from a very bad day when dealing with very ancient hardware.\n\nA great part of the Vintage Computer Festival is that the exhibits are often hands-on or demonstrations, allowing you to actually play around with hardware that most people have never seen in person. Add to that the collection at the Computer History Museum plus some extra exhibits planned for the event, and you are likely to run out of time before you make your way through everything.\n\nSince we have mentioned the Computer History Museum, we also have some upcoming news. Later this month, Hackaday Contributor-at-Large Voja Antonic has been invited to visit the museum, record his oral history, and deliver to their collection an original Galaksija computer. The Galaksija was wildly successful first as a kit and then as a manufactured computer, which Voja built in Yugoslavia in 1983.

The game is set to take place at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne's docklands area, the premier football stadium in Australia and home of the AFL. While the full fixtures for the 2017 season were scheduled to be published the following day, the AFL had already confirmed that North Melbourne would face the Western Bulldogs at the stadium on April 14.\n\nThe AFL had approved playing matches on Good Friday in 2014, but this marked the first time a match was actually scheduled for the holy day. The game was set for a 4:20 PM start to avoid clashing with Good Friday services taking place that afternoon.\n\n\"We accept that some football fans remain opposed to scheduling a match on Good Friday,\" said Travis Auld, the AFL's general manager of clubs and operations. \"The decision to now schedule a match was made on the basis that our society has changed in recent decades and the majority of football fans, who are our ultimate decision-makers, share the view of our clubs who have expressed their wish to play on this day.\"\n\nHowever, Bishop Philip Huggins of the Diocese of Melbourne criticized the move, describing it as \"another win for market, not for people.\" \"We have always been 'kicking against the wind' but the AFL has been one entity that has exercised restraint – not least because many people of faith who also enjoy football have conveyed the depth of their feeling about Good Friday,\" Bishop Huggins said. \"But now, in 2017, this is to change.\"\n\nHe continued, \"The trouble with this approach to life is that the heart dies a little each time the relentless and commodifying logic of the market overwhelms all other considerations. Even the most sacred days, for which our forebears had the wisdom to make holy days – holidays – are then invaded. We are then left with a society full of products but short of meaning. That is what is happening and no amount of marketing spin fills the void.\"\n\nNorth Melbourne Football Club, known by its nickname the Kangaroos or simply the Roos, welcomed the news. Managing director Carl Dilena told the club's website that they were \"absolutely thrilled by the announcement.\" \"It's a tribute to this club's track record of innovation and a credit to all the great North people... who initially proposed this game in the late 80s and early 90s,\" he said.\n\nThe AFL, the two clubs, and official broadcaster Channel 7 planned to use the match to support an appeal by the Royal Children's Hospital. \"There are a lot of great things we can do together to achieve some great outcomes and we will sit down in due course to discuss those with all the key stakeholders,\" Dilena said.\n\nExplaining the significance of Good Friday, Bishop Huggins noted that it was called \"Good\" because \"it spoke to people about the profound love of God, so visible in Jesus.\" He added, \"The meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection is so profound that our forebears knew they needed separate days – holy days – to take this in and live by the truth it revealed. They knew, for their own sakes, that they must keep these days free of distraction.

Additionally, co-parenting with a sociopath can be a deeply troubling experience.\n\nA sociopath is an individual who cares only about themselves, viewing the world as their stage and other people merely as puppets on a string. They are social predators in all aspects of life, including parenthood, making them sociopathic parents.\n\nAt the most basic level, sociopathic parents are not warm or affectionate. They are cold, distant, and unwelcoming, providing neither comfort nor love. James Fallon, a neurobiologist who studies the brains of sociopaths and happens to be one himself, is one of the rare sociopaths who has sustained a marriage over time and helped raise children. He describes his feelings toward his children as indifferent, noting that they are \"dominated less by warmth than by entertainment and intellectual interest.\"\n\nBy sociopathic standards, Fallon is a \"loving parent of the year.\" Other sociopathic parents are not so kind or generous. The only true feeling sociopathic parents often experience is anger, which they typically express loudly and physically. Because this expressed anger is out of proportion to whatever induced it, children are left hurt, confused, and with a sense that the world is unpredictable, illogical, and unsafe. Antisocial parents teach their children that the world is chaotic and inconsistent.\n\nSociopathic parents exhibit other hallmark parenting traits that amount to psychological abuse. These include a lack of attachment, bonding, or love; dismissiveness, often because the children are perceived as boring; disregard for the child's welfare; harsh expectations and demands; neglect, which is often extreme; and purposeful attempts to corrupt a child, such as exposure to pornography or encouraging delinquent behavior.\n\nAs if the sociopathic parent were not bad enough, this parent is often a spouse or partner. Co-parenting with a sociopath can be a daily challenge. In all parenting partnerships, there exists an ongoing need to negotiate and compromise; unfortunately, the sociopath neither negotiates nor compromises. Ever. Co-parenting with a sociopath creates a strained relationship that adds yet another layer of difficulty to family life.\n\nThe sociopathic mother is no June Cleaver. She is much more like Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. Granted, she is excellent at emulating June Cleaver. Typical of a sociopath, this mother can morph into any persona that suits her in a given moment. When others are watching, she launches into the role of Supermom. She dotes, encourages, loves, and attends. She provides the snacks at the end of the soccer game. Everyone loves SuperJune.\n\nThen, when the game is over and the family is back home, Cersei returns.

Alexis Goggins, a student at Campbell Elementary School, is recovering at Children's Hospital in Detroit from gunshot wounds to her eye, left temple, chin, cheek, chest, and right arm.\n\n\"She is an angel from heaven,\" said Aisha Ford, a family friend of fifteen years who was also present during the evening of terror. The girl's mother, Selietha Parker, 30, was shot in the left side of her head and her bicep by a former boyfriend. Police stated the gunman was attempting to kill Parker. The suspect was disarmed and arrested at the scene. Police identified him as Calvin Tillie, 29, a four-time convicted felon whom Parker had dated for six months before ending the relationship. Parker was treated at Detroit Receiving Hospital and released, and she is currently at her daughter's bedside. She declined to comment on Tuesday.\n\nThe incident began just before midnight on Saturday when Parker called Ford, asking if she and Alexis could spend the night at Ford's home. \"She said she had no heat and they were very cold, and I said, sure I'll come and get you,\" Ford recalled.\n\nFord drove her burgundy 1998 Ford Expedition to Parker's home on Dwyer Street. As Parker and Alexis walked toward the vehicle, Ford saw a man on the porch whom she initially assumed was a furnace repairman. Alexis, who walks with a limp, slipped momentarily on the icy sidewalk. As Ford helped the girl up, she looked at the man and recognized him as Tillie, who was holding a gun.\n\nTillie ordered them into the vehicle, cursed at the women, and angrily instructed Ford to drive him to Six Mile Road. \"He looked like he was enraged and didn't care what he did. I knew if we went to Six Mile, he would kill us,\" Ford said. Instead, she told him she needed gas and drove to a Fast Stop gas station in the 5000 block of East Seven Mile Road, a location where customers must pay the attendant inside.\n\n\"I figured if he got out to pump the gas, I was going to take off,\" Ford said. However, Tillie gave her a ten-dollar bill and told her to put in five dollars worth of gas.\n\nFord dialed 911 on her cell phone as she walked into the station. \"The first operator clicked off and I dialed again and told that operator a guy with a gun was holding me hostage with a mother and baby and threatening to kill us. I told her the name of the gas station and then she said they didn't have a unit to send,\" Ford explained.\n\nFord paid for five dollars of gas and slowly returned to the vehicle, stalling for time as she handed Tillie the change. She said she kept stopping and starting the pump, hoping the police would arrive. \"I told him I needed more gas and took money out of my purse and went back into the station,\" she said.\n\nThe gas station attendant, Mohammad Alghazali, 30, noticed Ford crying and learned what was happening. He called 911 as he heard shots coming from the vehicle. \"It was very scary. She was scared and screaming when the guy was shooting. I was scared, too. I was on the phone talking to the police when he started shooting,\" he said.\n\nParker later told police that Tillie claimed Ford was taking too long.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10215, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8f8b427c3c076c93267cae854a45153ba7631c38", "raw_chars": 3135, "clean_chars": 3034, "edit_ratio": 0.3688, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The new federal Environment Minister has granted Montreal permission to dump billions of litres of raw sewage into the St. Lawrence River to allow the city to perform critical repairs on its wastewater system.\n\nCatherine McKenna, who was in Paris preparing for the United Nations climate-change summit beginning at the end of the month, broke from her mission to approve what she admitted was a \"far from ideal\" decision on her sixth day in office.\n\nMs. McKenna imposed several conditions on the sewage spill, including requirements for the city to improve water-quality monitoring, enhance cleanup and emergency response plans, and consult more closely with First Nations communities along the riverbank.

Donilon stated that U.S. officials were in conversation with Hong Kong authorities and had asked the special administrative region of China not only to arrest the former NSA contractor but also to extradite him to the United States to face criminal charges.\n\n“If Hong Kong doesn’t act soon, it will complicate our bilateral relations and raise questions about Hong Kong’s commitment to the rule of law,” said another senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.\n\nThe U.S. government, which has made the Snowden case a top priority and devoted significant resources to prosecuting him, asked Hong Kong on June 14 to detain Snowden on a provisional arrest warrant. That same day, federal prosecutors filed sealed criminal charges against him, including theft, unauthorized communication of national defense information, and willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person.\n\nThe fact that the U.S. government had asked Hong Kong to detain Snowden emerged on Friday when The Washington Post disclosed the contents of the sealed criminal complaint.\n\nThe White House referred all questions to Justice Department officials, who declined to comment.\n\nThe reasons for the apparent lack of action by Hong Kong remain unclear. Officials might still be searching for Snowden. The South China Morning Post reported on Saturday that Snowden is not under police protection but is in a “safe place” in Hong Kong. The newspaper also reported that Snowden had revealed more details about U.S. surveillance of Hong Kong and China.\n\nUnder the extradition treaty between Hong Kong and the United States, a provisional warrant, as opposed to a regular one, offers a faster way to detain suspected criminals because it does not require the initial approval of Hong Kong’s chief executive, currently Leung Chun-ying.\n\nInstead, a judge can issue the warrant immediately. Simon Young, a legal professor at the University of Hong Kong, noted that a warrant for Snowden’s arrest could have been issued as early as June 14.\n\nLeung’s office declined to comment on Snowden’s case on Saturday. The police department did not respond to calls and emails.\n\nDouglas McNabb, a criminal defense lawyer who specializes in international extradition cases, said that if authorities know Snowden’s location, he may have already asked for asylum, a complicated process that might need to be resolved before Hong Kong authorities could arrest him.\n\n“If he applied for asylum, that process may trump being arrested on a provisional arrest warrant,” McNabb said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10234, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bc2e90fac09084dff1ee626602fa0c9f7d5b4494", "raw_chars": 860, "clean_chars": 964, "edit_ratio": 0.6502, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The combined entity will operate under the name Sound United while continuing to market its individual brands separately.

Remember this is a team who had tried to sign him on more than one occasion. I played him as both a central midfielder and a forward, and he created both of the goals in a 2-0 win.\n\n\"He was the best player I've ever coached. He needed no technical coaching – that would've been a waste of time.\"\n\nTotti's under-20s coach, Luciano Spinosi, will never forget the first time he saw his protégé play during pre-season. \"After 10 minutes, I called Roma's sporting director Giorgio Perinetti, telling him to never let this champion leave the club,\" Spinosi tells FFT. \"The way he hit the ball was like no one else. I've seen lots of young footballers, but he was special. He dragged the whole team with him. I just had to tell him to play. I had never seen a 16-year-old like this.

Windows Phone developers have flocked to Reddit to detail the changes extensively, uncovering nearly every aspect of the next software iteration before a beta version is released to developers in April.\n\nChief among Windows Phone 8.1's features is support for Windows RT apps. The SDK now offers \"Universal App\" support, providing templates to build both Windows Store and Windows Phone Store applications from the same shared HTML and JavaScript code. A developer who claims to create \"high profile\" apps for the mobile operating system explained on Reddit that this likely points toward Microsoft merging Windows Phone and Windows RT, making it easier to create apps for both platforms.\n\nDevelopers have also noted that Windows Phone 8.1 includes an iCloud option in the Settings menu, suggesting it will support iCloud accounts to further lure customers away from iOS. VPN support is also included, and Microsoft's rebranding of Skydrive to OneDrive is evident in the SDK. Additionally, a new feature has been introduced that likely allows Windows Phone users to change their default messaging app.\n\nAccording to the developers, Windows Phone 8.1 will be available to all Windows Phone 8 devices, though there is no word yet on a specific release date.\n\nBeyond these changes, the lengthy Reddit thread reveals that multitasking has been tweaked to look more like that in Windows RT. The update also supports installing apps to an SD card, introduces three new camera modes, and includes a Battery Power Sense app that shows which applications are consuming the most battery life.\n\nPerhaps most interestingly, developers have noted that Facebook integration appears to have been removed in the update, and there is no sign of Microsoft's previously mooted Cortana voice assistant.

In the address, he also bluntly urged Canada to increase its defense spending to meet its international obligations. He praised the extraordinary alliance and deep friendship between Canada and the United States, stating, \"We see ourselves in each other and our lives are richer for it.\" He emphasized that the enduring partnership between the two nations is as strong as it has ever been and that the countries are more closely aligned than ever before.\n\nThe American president reserved heartfelt remarks for Trudeau, noting that he has brought \"new energy and hope\" to the cross-border relationship. \"My time in office may be nearing an end, but I know that Canada and the world will benefit from your leadership in the years to come,\" Obama said.\n\nHowever, he also included pointed comments on a perennial sore spot: defense spending. This issue has taken on fresh urgency in the face of a resurgent Russia and rising Islamic extremism. \"As your NATO ally and your friend, let me say, we'll be more secure when every NATO member, including Canada, contributes its full share to our common security,\" Obama said, drawing sustained applause from both Liberal and Conservative MPs and senators who had returned from summer break for the historic event. He added, \"Because the Canadian Armed Forces are really good. And if I can borrow a phrase, the world needs more Canada. NATO needs more Canada. We need you.\"\n\nWashington has been increasing pressure on Ottawa to spend more on defense for two years, ever since Russia annexed Crimea and sparked a shadow war in eastern Ukraine. Currently, Canada spends just under $20 billion on defense, or about 1 percent of its gross domestic product, which is half the NATO standard. The Trudeau government has also hesitated on a NATO call to contribute to a high-mobility brigade destined for eastern Europe as a deterrence measure. Although the federal government has privately expressed interest, it has yet to formally declare this publicly. Obama's remarks are expected to put more pressure on the Liberal government to make a public pronouncement.\n\nHis appearance on the floor of the House of Commons, alongside Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, was greeted with a thunderous ovation. \"It tempts me to shut up and leave. It can't get any better than this,\" he joked, as usual decorum was abandoned and MPs snapped photos with their phones. But the American leader, noted for his eloquence, did not disappoint.\n\n\"From this vibrant capital we can look upon a world that has benefited enormously from the international order that we helped build together. But we can see that order increasingly strained by the accelerating forces of change,\" he said. He argued that the economic values of market-based liberal economies are stronger than any single event, such as the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. While the world is more prosperous than ever before, Obama noted a troubling rise in wage stagnation and inequality. \"If the benefits of globalization accrue only to those at the very top, if our democracies seem incapable of assuring broad-based growth and opportunity for everyone, then people will push back out of anger or out of fear,\" he warned.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10253, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bfe9b1a53cf2bccc605af7f5dc43c95f88241f7a", "raw_chars": 3370, "clean_chars": 3409, "edit_ratio": 0.9186, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Should a 400-pound man advise us on the evils of overconsumption?

'He completely lost the plot,' a member of the stage crew told the *London Evening Standard*. 'He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the 5 pound-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all con men and useless. Then he went on stage and did it in public.' At his last appearance, staffers refused to work or even open the theater's doors.\" (*New York Post*, Jan. 8, 2003).\n\nHe supplements his meager income with speaking tours. No more $750 gigs; on his 2004 pre-election tour he charged Utah Valley State College $40,000, Xavier University $25,000, and the University of New Mexico $35,000. Not bad for an hour or two's work. Ah, the joys of capitalism.\n\nOne of his former associates summed him up: \"You would think that he's the ultimate common man. But he's money-obsessed.\"\n\nHis major themes are his status as the spokesman of the working class, the evils of capitalism, and the selfishness of (all other) Americans. It would be easy to denounce Moore as a hypocrite. Many conservatives denounce him as a leftist, when in fact the serious left, the thinking left, generally finds him appalling. He is the latest in the modern breed of \"Limosine Leftists\" -- individuals who, while personally they share the values of 19th-century robber barons, find it flattering to adopt a thin veneer of leftism as a pose, in the same manner they pick a flattering hairstyle or gown. A left-leaning critic of Moore summed up the situation very nicely: Moore's appeal lies in his giving wealthy, over-educated whites an opportunity to laugh at working-class whites.\n\nBut enough on Michael Moore as a person. Let's examine his output.\n\nA consistent theme can be found throughout his work, and that is a theme of deception any time it is useful.

There's a reason for that, but quarterback Josh Dobbs and end Derek Barnett shouldn't expect an easy first game at all against the Hokies, with new head coach Justin Fuente sporting a solid group of returnees and veteran defensive coordinator Bud Foster.

I was shocked to discover that not only had others noticed the paint was extremely easy to scratch, but they were also complaining that brand-new cars were arriving with marring and swirling. Essentially, this was clear coat damage, most likely caused by improper detailing or drying. I felt sick to my stomach. I had noticed some deeper scratches on my car, but after seeing good pictures of the swirling and marring, I immediately took my car and parked it in direct sunlight. I leaned in close to the paint, now empowered with the knowledge of what to look for. My car was covered in swirls and marring—it was worse than any pictures I had seen online. Not only had I picked the car up in the dark, but it had also been over a month since I took delivery. There was no way they would do anything to fix this, I thought, especially on a service loaner.\n\nI was having some sporadic problems with the front passenger door handle not opening, so I called to make an appointment with Tesla. During the call, I mentioned the paint problems, and the service manager basically reminded me that I had taken delivery and that service loaners were sold as-is. Unfortunately, this was the reaction I expected based on how Tesla was responding to other owners with the same problem. Even new owners who had taken delivery and not noticed the problems right away were getting this same response: \"You took delivery; how do we know you didn't do this to the paint?\"\n\nAt this point, I set out researching paint correction, sealants, and transparent film, often called \"clear bras.\" I found two individuals in the metro Atlanta area and settled on Jean-Claude at Detailed Designs Auto Spa because he could do both the paint correction and clear bra installation back to back. Not only did Jean-Claude spend many hours with me on the phone explaining the pros and cons of different approaches, but he also educated me on what these options meant long-term. I appreciated his efforts to answer all my questions, no matter how uninformed; he was patient and very helpful. After having him perform his top-of-the-line \"gold level\" paint correction, I decided to go with an almost full Suntek clear bra installation on the entire car. The only part we didn't wrap was the rear lift gate. The whole job cost more than I had originally planned to spend, but I was afraid that if I didn't, I might end up with more swirling, marring, or deep scratches later that would need to be fixed again. So I bit the bullet and went with an almost full clear bra wrap.\n\nBefore having this work done, I always had this nagging feeling that my car was damaged goods. It was still enjoyable to drive, but I always had this lingering dread in the back of my mind that the car was imperfect and flawed. After Jean-Claude was done with his magic, my car now feels like the beautiful machine it was always supposed to be. I highly recommend his work.

The twelfth Doctor Who star was filming the year's Christmas special, which was to be his final appearance as the Twelfth Doctor.\n\nHowever, this monumental occasion appears to have been overshadowed by a select group who trend under the hashtag #DWSR, leaving many other fans sadly disappointed and some extremely angry.\n\nWhat is #DWSR?\n\n#DWSR is a Twitter hashtag dedicated to the latest news in Doctor Who filming. It stands for Doctor Who Set Report, although other names like Doctor Who Spoiler Report are also known. It can, in a way, be compared to the Game of Thrones bloggers Watchers on the Wall, which is also dedicated to reporting breaking news on filming, casting, and commentary.\n\nAny member of the public can use #DWSR, but a dedicated few have used it so much that they have grown a significant following. Many of their followers rely on their tweets and reports to find out the latest in filming locations, spoilers, and more.\n\nSo what happened?\n\nAs many have learned, the final days of filming took place on Monday in Cardiff. What appears to have happened is that a select few of what some are describing as the \"elite\" #DWSR either did not inform their followers of this or purposely gave people a different filming date.\n\nThis led to many fans being left disappointed that they missed out on the opportunity of seeing Capaldi's final moments, with some being extremely angry.\n\nOne fan tweeted, \"Now a lot are upset & PCap deserved a better send off. One #dwsr tweet to let people know the change of plans, that's all was needed.\"\n\nAnother fan wrote, \"Curious why #dwsr were milling about on the Monday and were around to be surprised by PC. Sorry but I was lied to in a DM message.\"\n\nA third fan commented, \"I heard thru the grapevine that Peter, Rachel, and crew know about the sleazy trick the stalker people did. Made fools of themselves. #dwsr.\"\n\nThose who were there and had the good fortune to meet some of the cast and crew shared this experience on Twitter, only to receive a wave of backlash from those who were either misinformed or not informed at all.\n\nWhat does this mean for the future?\n\nWhat this will mean for the future of #DWSR remains unclear, but it may be the beginning of the end. With a new Doctor coming and a new showrunner for Season 11, change is certainly coming, and it could also mean change for how fans get their Doctor Who news.\n\nOne user tweeted, \"#DWSR is finished. The cast/crew are aware of the situation that occurred & this will be sorted for Series 11. No elite, no spoilers.\"\n\nSpoilers and leaks could now be a thing of the past, and fans will have to wait for the episode to air to find out what will happen next. This will, of course, be good news for those who don't want any spoilers, but not so good news for others.\n\nAre we all just overreacting?\n\nNo.\n\nA rather simple answer, I know.

Human beings are sacrificing the characteristics they no longer need and which only hinder them; the kernel of individuation is beginning to come apart. It is only in recent times that signs of a counter-tendency have become visible in various groups of young people: resistance against blind adjustment, a desire for freedom to pursue rationally chosen goals, disgust at the world of swindles and illusions, and meditations on the possibility of transformation. Whether the socially ever-increasing drive toward destruction triumphs in spite of this, only time will tell. Subjective regression favors the regression of the system once again.

She is best known for her pioneering work with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop during the 1960s, particularly her popular electronic arrangement of the theme music to the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who. She has been referred to as \"the unsung heroine of British electronic music.\"\n\nDerbyshire was born in Coventry, the daughter of Emma (née Dawson) and Edward Derbyshire of Cedars Avenue, Coundon, Coventry. Her father was a sheet-metal worker. She had one sibling, a sister who died young. Her father died in 1965 and her mother in 1994.\n\nDuring the Second World War, immediately after the Coventry Blitz in 1940, she was moved to Preston, Lancashire for safety. Her parents had originally moved from there, and most of her surviving relatives still live in the area. She was very bright and, by the age of four, was teaching others in her class to read and write in primary school, but she said, \"The radio was my education.\" Her parents bought her a piano when she was eight years old. Educated at Barr's Hill Grammar School from 1948 to 1956, she was accepted at both Oxford and Cambridge, which was quite something for a working-class girl in the 1950s, when only one in ten students were female. She won a scholarship to study mathematics at Girton College, Cambridge, but apart from some success in the mathematical theory of electricity, she claims she did badly. After one year at Cambridge, she switched to music, graduating in 1959 with a BA in mathematics and music, having specialised in medieval and modern music history. Her other principal qualification was an LRAM in pianoforte.\n\nShe approached the careers office at the university and told them she was interested in \"sound, music and acoustics,\" to which they recommended a career in either deaf aids or depth sounding. She then applied for a position at Decca Records, only to be told that the company did not employ women in their recording studios. Instead, she took positions at the UN in Geneva from June to September, teaching piano to the children of the British Consul-General and mathematics to the children of Canadian and South American diplomats. From September to December, she worked as an assistant to Gerald G. Gross, Head of Plenipotentiary and General Administrative Radio Conferences at the International Telecommunications Union. She returned to Coventry and from January to April 1960 taught general subjects in a primary school there. Then she went to London, where from May to October she was an assistant in the promotion department of music publishers Boosey & Hawkes.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10291, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "12d8030f537060196667dd6c3a4cde17b3b9a731", "raw_chars": 3357, "clean_chars": 3139, "edit_ratio": 0.0643, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In November 1960, she joined the BBC as a trainee assistant studio manager and worked on Record Review, a magazine programme where critics reviewed classical music recordings. She recalled that some people thought she had a kind of second sight. One of the music critics would say, \"I don't know where it is, but it's where the trombones come in,\" and she would hold the record up to the light, see the trombones, and put the needle down exactly where it was. They thought it was magic. She then heard about the Radiophonic Workshop and decided that was where she wanted to work. This was received with some puzzlement by the heads in Central Programme Operation because people were usually assigned to the Radiophonic Workshop. But in April 1962 she was indeed assigned there in Maida Vale, where for eleven years she would create music and sound for almost 200 radio and television programmes.\n\nIn August 1962 she assisted composer Luciano Berio at a two-week summer school at Dartington Hall, for which she borrowed several dozen items of equipment from the BBC. One of her first works, and the most widely known, was her 1963 electronic realization of a score by Ron Grainer for the theme tune of the Doctor Who series, one of the first television themes to be created and produced by entirely electronic means. When Grainer first heard it, he was so amazed by her rendering of his theme that he asked, \"Did I really write this?\" to which Derbyshire replied, \"Most of it.\" Grainer attempted to get her a co-composer credit, but the attempt was prevented by the BBC bureaucracy, which then preferred to keep the members of the workshop anonymous. She would not be credited on-screen for her work until Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor. Derbyshire's original arrangement served as Doctor Who's main theme for its first seventeen seasons, from 1963 to 1980. The theme was reworked over the years, to her horror, and the version that had her \"stamp of approval\" is her original one. Delia also composed some of the incidental music used in the show, including Blue Veils and Golden Sands and The Delian Mode.\n\nIn 1964–65 she collaborated with the British artist and playwright Barry Bermange for the BBC's Third Programme to produce four Inventions for Radio, a collage of people describing their dreams, set to a background of electronic sound.\n\nIn 1966, while still working at the BBC, Derbyshire with fellow Radiophonic Workshop member Brian Hodgson and EMS founder Peter Zinovieff set up Unit Delta Plus, an organisation which they intended to use to create and promote electronic music. Based in a studio in Zinovieff's townhouse at 49 Deodar Road in Putney, they exhibited their music at a few experimental and electronic music festivals, including the 1966 The Million Volt Light and Sound Rave at which The Beatles' \"Carnival of Light\" had its only public playing.\n\nIn 1966, she recorded a demo with Anthony Newley entitled Moogies Bloogies, although as Newley moved to the United States, the song was never released.

The last of those ships was decommissioned in 2015.\n\nA number of naval strategists, particularly a group of Republican navalists associated with the 2012 presidential campaign of Mitt Romney, have urged the construction of a new class of frigates based on the FFG 7 design.\n\nNavy officials stated that enhanced survivability features for the FFG include improved shock hardening and propulsion separation, which presumably means separating propulsion machinery spaces that are currently located next to each other. Separating the compartments improves survivability because a single hit is unlikely to disable both compartments if another compartment is situated between them, though this design choice also adds length and, consequently, cost.\n\nOther potential survivability improvements could include deckhouse armor, armor for vital spaces, and full propulsion-shock protection features.\n\nThe proposed way ahead for the FFG, according to the draft Navy document, would be to \"update existing analyses to investigate the feasibility of adding these additional capabilities into the current LCS designs, as well as explore whether other existing hull forms and design concepts might provide a better balance of capabilities at competitive cost points.\"\n\nThe RET, which includes several Navy offices and commands as well as the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Pentagon’s Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, is on a fast track to provide FFG recommendations, with a target date of the end of May.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the company a patent for a specialized construction process involving LiquidMetal and sapphire glass displays. This approval came shortly after Apple announced that it holds exclusive rights to LiquidMetal’s unique alloy until 2015.\n\nIn scientific terms, LiquidMetal is a bulk amorphous alloy, often classified as an exotic metal. Although it resembles a liquid metal, it flows like molten plastic. To date, LiquidMetal has primarily been used for SIM card ejectors, certain military equipment, and medical devices. While the technology has been tested, it has never been applied to consumer smartphones or tablets. Nevertheless, it appears that Apple may plan to use LiquidMetal technology in its future iPhones and iPads.\n\nApple’s patent outlines this new application for LiquidMetal and explains how it will help stabilize sapphire glass displays in future devices. Stabilization is crucial to prevent the glass from shattering or detaching if the device is dropped. In 2007, Apple used a plastic chassis and a rubberized gasket to protect the display from sudden impacts. This design approach has been used in all iPhone models up to the iPhone 5S.\n\nThe new patent aims to eliminate these intermediate steps by creating a direct bond between the metal chassis and the display using LiquidMetal in a novel metal injection molding process. This method allows Apple to form sapphire glass directly into the metal bezel of an iPhone or iPad. While the patent notes that plastic could also be used, the emphasis is on using LiquidMetal to ensure the strongest possible bond and protection between the glass display and the metal chassis.\n\nAlthough this technology is cutting-edge, its application in mobile devices remains untested, so it is premature to assume LiquidMetal will debut with the iPhone 6 this September or August. However, given Apple’s agreement with GT Technologies to manufacture large quantities of sapphire glass, it is reasonable to assume that a sapphire glass display is forthcoming on the long-awaited iPhone 6.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10302, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "0d048305d778c9512c5a5b29b14178884504e5fe", "raw_chars": 3055, "clean_chars": 2899, "edit_ratio": 0.13, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When you teach yourself something on your own, there is no curriculum, no playbook, no textbook, and no professor to walk you through the steps. You move from one problem to the next, slowly getting better at guessing and checking. You do not need a formal education in a subject; you just need the ability to experiment, push your abilities, and respond to feedback.\n\nBut after years of having knowledge spoonfed to you, starting to learn this way might be intimidating. You have to train, or retrain, your ability to be self-taught first. And the easiest way to start getting into that habit is to follow a technique I have developed called the \"Sandbox Method.\"\n\nThe Sandbox Method for Self-Education\n\nThe sandbox method is an ongoing process for self-education, based on the latest scientific research on how we learn and how we process information. It recognizes that we do not need to memorize facts, formulas, or other minutiae anymore. Instead, we need to develop an intuitive understanding of our skills, expose ourselves to a broad swath of information about the skill, and constantly push ourselves to improve.\n\nIt can be done on your own, with a mentor, in school, in a company, or at any time. It is a process for continual learning and improvement, broken out into four cyclical steps.\n\nStep 1: Build Your Sandbox\n\nBefore doing any research on how to do, or how to better do, what you want to learn, you need to create an environment to practice it in. You are going to spend most of your time practicing and experimenting, not studying, so you need a way that you can easily exercise your skill and improvise.\n\nThis is your \"sandbox,\" an area where you can freely play around with the skill you are trying to learn without having to worry too much about taking it seriously. The sandbox lets you explore, experiment, and fail, without staking your entire future, savings, or reputation on it. It is an ideal environment for rapid learning.\n\nThis sandbox should be low cost or free, so you do not delay in starting; low-stakes, so you are not afraid to fail or show your work; and public, so that you have to put your work out there in some manner.\n\nSome examples include programming, where you might use accounts on GitHub, Heroku, and StackExchange for building projects and asking for help; writing, where you could use a personal blog hosted on WordPress, Medium, or Squarespace; photography, using your camera and an Instagram account; design, using Sketch and a Dribbble account to show your work; and marketing, using a blog or information site hosted on WordPress that you can try to grow.\n\nWhatever you want to learn, this sandbox must be in place before you get started. If you do not have an easy way to practice whatever you are trying to learn and to put your work out in the world as you are going, then you will learn much slower and have a harder time getting feedback.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10309, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "a792ecc517cf52ba1a1b9fb1b3b22d319838af44", "raw_chars": 1358, "clean_chars": 1392, "edit_ratio": 0.0582, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The most hyperpartisan of these sites are usually very clever and careful not to violate Google’s AdSense hate speech policy, which prohibits content that advocates against an individual, group, or organization.

These spots are spread across 16 states in all four continental time zones. Four states—Texas, Florida, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania—have two or more listings. About three-quarters of our picks are in climates considered warm or moderate. That's not surprising since weather is one factor taken into account, and polls show seniors prefer warm climates. Nevertheless, a number of colder cities made the cut, including Fargo, North Dakota, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Boise, Idaho.\n\nThe listings are in alphabetical order, meaning that all 25 are considered meritorious and not ranked among themselves. Perhaps surprisingly, only three were on last year's list, although nine graced our earlier or more narrowly focused lists. That's because for 2014, we screened even more locations, took into account additional factors, and broadened acceptable ranges for other factors. But our focus remains, as in previous years, the identification of places that offer what we consider good retirement value.\n\nTo come up with the best 25, we sifted data on more than 400 cities from every state. The major factors taken into account were economic. These included overall cost of living and home prices as compared to national averages and general state tax climates for retirees (something that Forbes has been tracking for years).\n\nFor cost of living, we draw largely on stats from FindTheData.org. For home prices, we primarily use numbers collected by the National Association of Realtors, trulia.com, and zillow.com. Although no one element is determinative, cost is a major reason only three places in the expensive Northeast and West Coast make the cut. They are repeat choice Pittsburgh and Best Places list newcomers State College, Pennsylvania, and Bellingham, Washington.\n\nIf money is truly no object, check out our choices for 25 Top Places To Retire Rich.\n\nIf for you, as for most folks, money is a consideration, then you may be hoping to cut your housing costs in retirement.

Moreover, only one city on the list has a typical price more than 10% above the average, Bellingham at $266,000.\n\nCost-of-living is expressed as an index, with 100 being the national average. We generally look for places with indexes no higher than 105. Two on the list are higher: Bellingham, again (109) and Bluffton, South Carolina (108).

His father worked as a liquor salesman, and his alcoholism cast a long shadow over Sinclair's childhood. His mother, Priscilla, was a strict Episcopalian who disliked alcohol, tea, and coffee. As a child, Sinclair slept either on sofas or crosswise on his parents' bed. When his father was out for the night, he would sleep alone in the bed with his mother. As he grew older, Sinclair did not get along with her due to her strict rules and refusal to allow him independence. He later told his son, David, that around the age of sixteen, he decided to have nothing to do with his mother, staying away from her for thirty-five years because any meeting would inevitably lead to an argument.\n\nSinclair's maternal family was very affluent; her parents were prosperous in Baltimore, and her sister married a millionaire. He had wealthy maternal grandparents with whom he often stayed, giving him insight into how both the rich and the poor lived during the late nineteenth century. Living in two distinct social settings greatly influenced his worldview and his books. His father's family, the Sinclairs, were from a highly respected lineage in the South, but they were financially ruined by the Civil War, disruptions of the labor system during the Reconstruction era, and an extended agricultural depression.\n\nAs he was growing up, Upton's family moved frequently because his father was not successful in his career. He developed a love for reading at the age of five, reading every book his mother owned to gain a deeper understanding of the world. He did not start school until he was ten years old. He was deficient in math and worked hard to catch up quickly due to his embarrassment. In 1888, the Sinclair family moved to Queens, New York, where his father sold shoes. Upton entered the City College of New York five days before his fourteenth birthday, on September 15, 1892. He wrote jokes, dime novels, and magazine articles for boys' weeklies and pulp magazines to pay for his tuition. With that income, he was able to move his parents into an apartment when he was seventeen.\n\nHe graduated in June 1897 and studied for a time at Columbia University. His major was law, but he was more interested in writing, and he learned several languages, including Spanish, German, and French. He paid a one-time enrollment fee to be able to learn a variety of things, signing up for classes and later dropping them. He again supported himself through college by writing boys' adventure stories and jokes, and he also sold ideas to cartoonists. Using stenographers, he wrote up to 8,000 words of pulp fiction per day. His only complaint about his educational experience was that it failed to educate him about socialism. After leaving Columbia, he wrote four books in the next four years; they were commercially unsuccessful though critically well-received: King Midas (1901), Prince Hagen (1902), The Journal of Arthur Stirling (1903), and a Civil War novel titled Manassas (1904).\n\nUpton became close with Reverend William Wilmerding Moir, who specialized in sexual abstinence and taught his beliefs to Sinclair.

Although Obama employed military force in smaller increments and for more modest goals than his predecessor, he deployed it across a significantly larger number of locations. Yet, how he determined where to act and where to hold back remains somewhat of a mystery, even to those who have been closely following the situation.\n\nHis failure to clearly define U.S. interests and his tendency to recite the familiar rhetoric of liberal hegemony led to several unfortunate consequences. First, it meant that Obama faced constant pressure to \"do something\" whenever trouble arose in some distant corner of the world, but he lacked an overarching argument or principle to deflect that pressure, aside from the correct but unhelpful dictum to avoid \"stupid shit.\" As the Libya debacle clearly shows, the danger is that advocates of intervention can sometimes override more sensible instincts, convincing even a reluctant president to act despite the fact that vital U.S. interests are not at stake and Washington has no clear idea what it is doing. In the absence of a clear strategy, stupid shit sometimes happens anyway.\n\nSecond, because Obama repeatedly asserted that U.S. leadership was indispensable, he became vulnerable to hard-line criticism whenever he attempted to end a failed policy or avoid a new quagmire. Withdrawing from Afghanistan and Iraq, and staying out of Ukraine and Syria, were the right calls because vital U.S. interests were not at stake in any of those countries or their respective problems. However, Obama never presented a convincing explanation for why this was the case; in Afghanistan, he actually said the opposite. Consequently, what should have been presented as difficult but hardheaded strategic judgments were instead perceived as symptoms of war-weary and woolly-headed weakness.\n\nThis same ambivalence marred relations with U.S. allies. While free-riding and \"reckless driving\" by U.S. allies clearly bothered Obama, he spent considerable time and effort trying to convince many of these same allies that they could count on the United States no matter what happened or what they did. What was the predictable result? U.S. allies continued to misbehave in various ways while growing angry and upset because Washington was not doing everything they wanted.

This incident follows an arrest on theft by deception charges in March.\n\nIn an exclusive interview Wednesday evening with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Matthews admitted to having a loud and distracting conversation with a fellow UGA athlete on the final day of Maymester classes on Tuesday, but he vehemently denied having disrespected Dr. Ronald Bogue, the professor of his Children's Literature course. Matthews says he was asked to leave the class of around 30 students but did not.\n\n\"We were just going back and forth on something and then the teacher just basically said, 'Y'all be quiet, y'all are always talking.' And that's the only thing that happened,\" Matthews said. \"And the teacher was just, 'Get out,' and I was like, 'Sorry, he just keeps talking to me. I wasn't disrespectful to the teacher at all.'\"\n\nMatthews also disputed a charge made by a fellow classmate in the 3000-level course that he told her to shut up and directed obscenities at her. Dr. Bogue, who will retire from UGA after submitting Maymester grades, could not be immediately reached for comment.\n\nThe incident in one of the Miller Learning Center's many classrooms preceded Richt's decision to let Matthews go by just a few hours. The disruption occurred toward the end of the nearly three-hour class around 1:45 p.m., and Matthews announced his dismissal on Twitter just minutes short of 5:30 p.m. Matthews blamed the disruption for his dismissal, but said he thought the arrest also played a part in the decision.\n\n\"That's basically the reason why I got kicked off though,\" Matthews said of the classroom incident. \"That's what [coach Mark Richt] told me basically. ...

They repeatedly claim that undocumented immigrants are flooding the border to have their children in the United States, thereby guaranteeing them citizenship. Their proposed solution to this supposed \"baby-dropping epidemic\" is to amend the U.S. Constitution by repealing the Fourteenth Amendment, which states that, with very few exceptions, all persons born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens regardless of their parents' immigration status. However, these arguments are weak, the facts are misrepresented, and their attempts to use get-tough-on-immigration platforms for reelection are even less substantial. When facts no longer matter and vilifying immigrants has become standard practice, attacking the children of U.S. citizens may seem like a winning reelection strategy.\n\nIn a recent Fox News interview, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reiterated the conservative argument for ending birthright citizenship. \"People come here to have babies. They come here to drop a child, it's called drop and leave,\" Graham said. \"To have a child in America, they cross the border, they go to the emergency room, they have a child, and that child's automatically an American citizen. That shouldn't be the case. That attracts people for all the wrong reasons,\" he added.\n\nWhile some conservatives have stepped back and challenged attacks on the Fourteenth Amendment, others have pushed the argument to the extreme. Texas State Representative Debbie Riddle went on CNN and claimed that pregnant women are coming to America to give birth and then raise their babies as terrorists. When asked for proof, she mentioned the FBI but refused to provide a source.\n\nMisrepresenting the facts has become common in the immigration debate. The Pew Hispanic Center recently released a report estimating that 340,000 of the 4.3 million children born in the United States in 2008 had at least one unauthorized parent. However, the \"at least one unauthorized parent\" condition was only clarified in a footnote, which stated that a child has unauthorized parents if either parent is unauthorized, and a child has U.S.-born parents if all identified parents are U.S. born. This means the figure includes mixed-status households where one parent is unauthorized and the other is a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant. This distinction makes a huge difference when determining how many children would be affected by a change to the Fourteenth Amendment. Numerous news articles ran with the Pew report's estimate as though both parents were undocumented.\n\nThe truth is that the majority of immigrants come to the U.S. to work, to reunite with their families, or to flee persecution, not to have children. Some immigrants do have children in the U.S., and some of those families are mixed-status, but suggesting that undocumented immigrants anchor themselves here through childbirth is false. As Senator John Kerry (D-MA) pointed out in a recent editorial, undocumented parents with U.S.-born children have to wait decades to apply for family-sponsored citizenship.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10329, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "89b30575d4e6e0a7df5b16902c4df1958a5b33e2", "raw_chars": 3334, "clean_chars": 3341, "edit_ratio": 0.0073, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Imagine my surprise, then, to learn that as cavernous as this room was, it was only half of the building. Francesco led us through a small door in the rear, and we entered yet another room full of Alfas, an additional forty or fifty in all. This was clearly the rehabilitation clinic: many works-in-progress, including a Giulia TI Super, several Duettos, a Montreal, and even a humble Arna, sat in various stages of restoration. Overseeing the work was Francesco’s personal mechanic, Giordano, who had been with Francesco since he began his collection.\n\nFrancesco, we learned, had sold his company in the mid-1990s and, in semi-retirement, had set about assembling his collection of Alfas and Ferraris. Never married and without children, his cars were his life, and it was impossible not to share in his bountiful enthusiasm as he talked of his love for building and restoring this collection.\n\n\"Why Alfas and Ferraris?\" I asked him, always wanting to hear what sparks an owner's passion for a certain marque. The question seemed to puzzle him.\n\n\"What else is there?\" Francesco replied, as if I had asked why he chose to breathe oxygen.\n\nHe then thought for a moment and said, \"No other car sounds like an Alfa, and Alfa Romeo is the mother of Ferrari. If Enzo hadn't had his racing success with Alfa, who knows what might never have happened?\"\n\nWe wandered about the shop for a long while, snooping in corners, snapping photos, and chatting with Francesco and Giordano. We could have happily remained amidst this family of Alfas for several more hours, lingering over their every detail, but the December sun was quickly setting outside, and I worried that we might be overstaying our welcome. Our tour, however, was just getting started.\n\n\"Are you ready for the next stop on the tour?\" asked Francesco.\n\n\"You mean there's more?\" I asked.\n\nWhatever else awaited us, I couldn't imagine it being more impressive than that hangar full of Alfas. Francesco bundled us into his car, and we sped off into the darkness, Giordano and his assistant following in a second car. After winding our way through the dark Italian countryside for twenty minutes, we pulled up in front of an old farmhouse and barn.\n\n\"Where the hell are we?\" I wondered to myself as we piled out of the car. I worried that I would soon find myself feigning interest in a collection of antique tractors and plows. Francesco never lacks for surprises, however, and this stop was no exception.\n\nWith some effort, Francesco and Giordano parted the rickety barn doors to expose two gleaming industrial steel doors painted bright red. Clearly, this was no ordinary cow shed. As Francesco slid the steel doors open and flipped on the interior lights, we found ourselves standing in a climate-controlled clean room worthy of Intel. With an HVAC system humming in the background and Ferrari-red walls covered in electrostatic anti-dust fabric, the room felt like a villain's lair.\n\nIn the first room, parked end-to-end on the glossy white floor, were each of Ferrari's supercars: an Enzo, an F50, an F40, a 288 GTO, and a 512 BB.

But repealing an intentional residential segregation policy that already has led to substantial racial isolation accomplishes little, because once populations have been firmly established in separate areas, even modest integration could take decades if left to ordinary vacancies and in-migration.\n\nConsider the iconic Levittown suburb in Nassau County, New York. In 1947, a vast housing shortage existed for both black and white workers and returning war veterans. The federal government financed the Levitt company to construct 17,000 units. These Levittown homes were easily affordable, but the government explicitly prohibited Levitt from selling or renting to African Americans. Similar federal restrictions applied to other projects, many obscure and some well known, like the giant Lakewood development south of Los Angeles and the Daly City suburb south of San Francisco, memorialized by Malvina Reynolds' song about \"ticky tacky\" houses.\n\nAn executive order by President Kennedy in 1962 and the 1968 Fair Housing Act repealed government policies requiring racial housing segregation. Yet although many black families in New York City and Nassau County need better housing, Levittown remains today less than 1 percent black, compared to the nearby Long Island town of Roosevelt, which is 79 percent black.\n\nIn part, this is because white families fortunate enough to purchase Levittown homes in the 1940s and 1950s saw their equity appreciate more rapidly than their wages, so asset values helped propel them into the middle class. But by the time legal barriers to segregation fell, these homes were no longer affordable for working families, so African Americans were permanently excluded from the suburban boom and its amenities.\n\nA Myth Perpetuated\n\nThat our segregation is de facto, not de jure (created by law and public policy) is an urban myth, shared by Supreme Court justices, national policymakers, legislators and educators. We continue to teach this myth in public schools, where social studies curricula characterize residential racial segregation as resulting only from private discrimination or as a purely random phenomenon.\n\nFor example, in the more than 1,200 pages of McDougal Littell's widely used high school textbook, The Americans, a single paragraph is devoted to \"Discrimination in the North\" in the 20th century. The book devotes one sentence to residential segregation: \"African Americans found themselves forced into segregated neighborhoods,\" with no further explanation of how this happened or who was responsible. Similar cover-ups characterize the textbooks of other publishers.\n\nSuperintendents cannot hope to narrow the achievement gap without integrating their student populations, and they cannot hope to do this until the neighborhoods from which students come are integrated.

They ask why skin color or family earnings should affect whether children benefit from effective teachers.\n\nOf course, minority or low-income status does not itself depress achievement, but on average, disadvantaged children achieve at lower levels. International tests confirm this trend in every industrialized country.\n\nWhy is this so? Poor nutrition, inadequate health care, substandard housing, and unstable families are all factors that contribute to a child's inability to learn at high levels. Each of these well-documented social class differences between middle-class and low-income students has a small effect on average performance, but their cumulative effect explains much of the achievement gap.\n\nRichard Rothstein, a research associate at the Economic Policy Institute, is one of the nation's authorities on the impact of socioeconomic factors on disparities in student achievement.\n\nThe negative effects of racial and economic disadvantage are exacerbated when low-income black students are concentrated in segregated schools. Remediation becomes routine, and teachers must focus more on discipline and less on instruction, leaving them little time to challenge the exceptional students who can overcome personal, family, and community hardships that typically interfere with learning.\n\nThis isolation is a problem not only of poverty but of race. In urban areas, low-income white students are more likely to be integrated into middle-class neighborhoods and less likely to attend schools filled with other disadvantaged students. Nationwide, the isolation of low-income black students has increased. The share of black students attending schools that are less than 10 percent white increased from less than 34 percent in 1989 to 39 percent in 2007. In 1989, black students typically attended schools where 43 percent of students were low-income; by 2007, this figure grew to 59 percent. These statistics are drawn from a 2009 report by the Civil Rights Project at UCLA.\n\nSchools with poorly performing students cannot be turned around while they remain racially and socioeconomically isolated. The problems these students bring to school are so overwhelming that policy should never assume that even the most skilled faculty can overcome them. Schools certainly can make a difference, but they cannot fully erase the damage caused by concentrated poverty and racial isolation.\n\nThroughout most of the 20th century, federal policy created black ghettos in metropolitan areas. It did so by placing public housing for white and black families in separate neighborhoods, guaranteeing low-cost mortgages for white families (but not black families) to move from public housing and other urban neighborhoods to all-white suburbs of single-family homes, and establishing bank and savings and loan regulatory policies that included racial discrimination as part of sound lending policy. The government also granted tax exemptions to organizations formed for the purpose of enforcing racial barriers, as well as to other organizations and churches with similar purposes.

Specifically, he wondered about a problem faced by the astronaut characters regarding their emergency batteries, which had been depleted. \"In the movie, charging the batteries was the instruction to fix the problem,\" Woodfill recalled. \"Art said he wondered, 'What if we faced such dire problems?' and other 'what-ifs.'\"\n\nJust a couple of hours later, Campos was awakened by a phone call informing him that the Apollo 13 spacecraft had suffered an accident. He was told to come in immediately to work on a way to get power to the emergency batteries in the Command Module, which were required for reentry. \"The crew had to use the emergency batteries in the Command Module to have time to transfer the guidance parameters to the Lunar Module computer,\" Woodfill explained. \"And there may not have been enough power in them for when the crew returned to Earth. As Art was driving to Building 45 at the Manned Spacecraft Center, where the Mission Evaluation Room (MER) was housed, he recalled the movie, where they said 'charge the batteries' and then remembered a procedure he devised about a year earlier. It was a way to charge depleted emergency batteries by using a jumper charge between the two vehicles, because the lunar lander batteries are huge and would have ample power.\"\n\nWoodfill said Campos started writing out the procedure while he and others in the MER rolled out drawings and schematics for the electrical systems on the two vehicles, showing all the connectors and harness wiring. They finally found a small wire running between the two vehicles. It had been designed into the vehicles years ago to heat some components in the lander during the coast phase to the Moon until the lander was powered up. \"They found the wire, but they didn't know if the procedure would work,\" Woodfill said, noting that he sat next to the electrical engineers in the MER working on the problem. \"Because there is a trickle charge and you have to set switches and the circuit breakers just the right way. They tried it out in the simulators, because there was a concern that current would flow the wrong way.\"\n\nIn fact, Woodfill said, in the simulators, it didn't work. The computer in the simulator refused to allow the procedure, but nevertheless, there was no other alternative. So, they tried it in space, and it actually worked to recharge the batteries in the Command Module. \"I really think 'Marooned' was the catalyst for Art remembering this wire,\" Woodfill said, \"although we'll never know for sure.\"\n\nWoodfill also listed several other similarities between \"Marooned\" and the real-life drama of Apollo 13. The use of simulators was almost identical to that which Apollo 13's ground team used in the course of the rescue. Gregory Peck's character announces, \"Every resource of NASA and our industrial contractors is being used to the fullest extent,\" similar to what was done during the real Apollo 13 drama. Press conferences in the movie were similar to those conducted by Chris Kraft for the Apollo 13 media coverage. The \"Marooned\" crew wrongly thinks they may have suffered a meteor strike, as did the crew of Apollo 13.

Currently, there are 8,000 people on the organ transplant waiting list in the UK, with an average wait time of three years for a suitable donor. Although 18 million people are registered as organ donors, few die under circumstances that allow them to donate their organs, according to Keith Rigg, a consultant transplant surgeon at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and a member of the working party behind the report.\n\nRigg explained that the council considered the ethical implications and concluded that the proposal would not harm the donor. He noted that it aligns with the altruistic nature of donation, as the perceived reward of covering funeral expenses would not benefit the donor directly but could assist their family during a difficult time. He emphasized that families would have the option to decline the offer.\n\nHowever, the proposal has drawn criticism. Roger Goss, co-director of Patient Concern, expressed concern that offering funeral expenses in exchange for organs might lead families to pressure sick relatives to donate, particularly because it could save thousands of pounds. He pointed to cases where individuals with power of attorney have treated their charges as financial assets, warning that this scenario is all too likely. Goss also criticized the council's apparent acceptance of presumed consent as ethical, arguing that it should not be viewed merely as a means to increase the number of donors.\n\nThe proposal is part of a broader set of recommendations following an 18-month inquiry into the ethics of encouraging donations across various health areas, including major organs, eggs, sperm, blood, tissue, and whole bodies. Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern, who led the inquiry, stated that paying for the funerals of organ donors would be ethically justified, as it causes no harm to the donor and serves as a form of societal recognition.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10374, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c16b8c2b8d350c23b65c4f8e80c2b075e1214587", "raw_chars": 1064, "clean_chars": 1161, "edit_ratio": 0.3843, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The senator highlighted inconsistencies in statements from Malacañang regarding the topic.

The 64-bit main processor is accompanied by a motion coprocessor, in this case the new M8, that offloads processing relating to sensor data, including the accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, and barometer, for improved power efficiency.

There is no 32GB version: your other choices are either 16GB, likely to leave you with around 11 to 12GB free, or the most expensive 128GB model.

A Case Western Reserve University researcher reports building a prototype blade that is lighter and tougher than those currently in use. The key, he says, is using polyurethane reinforced with carbon nanotubes.\n\nAs previously reported, larger wind turbines represent something of a paradoxical pursuit in the wind industry these days. While they can capture more energy, they can also be costly, and if too much extra weight accompanies the larger size, the net effect can be reduced efficiency. This is because the heavier the blades, the more wind is needed to turn the rotor. In addition, larger blades are more prone to flex, further reducing their ability to capture energy.\n\nMarcio Loos, a post-doctoral researcher, built a 29-inch blade that is lighter and more rigid than the commercial template he modeled it on. He is calling it \"the world's first carbon nanotube reinforced polyurethane wind blade.\"\n\nSo far, mechanical tests of the carbon nanotube and polyurethane have shown that the material outperforms the resins currently used for wind turbine blades. In addition, carbon nanotubes are lighter than carbon fiber and aluminum and have five times the strength of carbon fiber and 60 times the strength of aluminum. Fatigue testing showed that the reinforced polyurethane composite lasts about eight times longer than epoxy reinforced with fiberglass.\n\nLoos and his team, supported in their work by the U.S. Department of Energy and Bayer MaterialScience, will continue to test optimal conditions for the nanotubes. The functional prototype blades built by Loos, which were used to turn a 400-watt turbine, will be stored in a laboratory and used for use in the next generation of wind turbine blades.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10391, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b16c0234ef8e67fd22575e911b497d2d13e92f6e", "raw_chars": 3423, "clean_chars": 3367, "edit_ratio": 0.1473, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It is almost unbelievable, but the next phase of the Heroes Global Championship is already upon us. Tomorrow, teams from around the world will return to their regional leagues to begin their climb to the top. This time, they are fighting for everything, with BlizzCon as the ultimate prize.\n\nIn North America, we witnessed another major roster shakeup. Teams made strategic moves to improve their rosters in preparation for this new phase. As we watch Phase 2 of the NA HGC, there are five major questions to consider.\n\nIs Goku an Upgrade?\n\nOn the opening day of the Mid-Season Brawl, Roll20 Esports announced a trade with Superstars–Yoda for Goku. Most analysts reacted positively, viewing this as a strong upgrade for Roll20. Goku is a phenomenal player, and his hero pool would bring clarity to the murky draft strategy Roll20 had been using, where Glaurung, Yoda, and Prismaticism all played flexible roles.\n\nHowever, Yoda showed up at the Mid-Season Brawl. He won many games with his stellar Li-Ming play. The team had strong synergy, took a map from MVP Black on opening day, and advanced further than anyone expected. Now returning home from Sweden, the question arises: did Roll20 make a mistake? Is replacing their Li-Ming player with a melee carry the best choice for this team's playstyle? Who will play Zeratul now?\n\nTalent-wise, Goku seems like a clear improvement for the team. However, will the tradeoff in synergy be worth it? Will we see a repeat of GFE's issues when Fan was brought in to take over the melee role?\n\nWill Even In Death Win a Game?\n\nIn case you missed it, there was a last-minute shakeup in the NA HGC for this phase. B-step, the team helmed by BlizzCon champions Kingcaffeine, K1pro, and iDream, has disbanded and abdicated their place in the league. To replace them, the team with the best playoff performance in the open division, Even In Death, was elevated to the pro level. EiD did not impress in their crucible match and were by no means a dominant amateur team in the regular season. Even open division caster SolidJake spoke passionately on his show Town Hall Heroes about his concerns with EiD's worthiness for the spot.\n\nThe bottom-tier teams have all made moves to improve this season and have plenty of experience over their new colleagues on EiD. The newcomers were not even allowed to make any roster changes after they disbanded and then reformed to secure their trip to the HGC. Can this team hold together? More importantly, can they compete with the pros?\n\nIs Naventic Back?\n\nIt has been a long trip down for the once-dominant Bob Ross Fan Club. As Team Naventic, Zuna and his crew seemed unbeatable in the early iterations of the team. Since the departure of Erho, we have seen a slow downward spiral as the team struggled to find its identity without a warrior player. With Bkid at the helm, many hoped for a revival, but Naventic's first phase in the HGC was an unmitigated disappointment to fans and players alike.\n\nNow, the team has made some brilliant roster moves. They moved Kenma, a smart player with awful mechanics, to the coaching role where he can still help the team but not get caught face-checking bushes. They resolved their ranged disputes by moving Bigempct to support. Finally, iDream has come in to shore up the team's melee position, giving them more flexibility at that role than ever before.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10389, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "4ea69961227122bd7432649e97684e3b3b8bc1f0", "raw_chars": 3498, "clean_chars": 3433, "edit_ratio": 0.3063, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Remember when those sky nomads tried to pinch you?\" Shale smiled fondly, in the way a man might while remembering a youthful romance.\n\n\"Or that time when we got trapped in the Tendrils of Sashim?\" \"Sure do.

Shale didn't age—long ago, he and I had discovered a secret draught of long life in the hoard of the dragon Galbrometh.

Did I have time to file those reports...? No. I needed to get moving. I walked toward Shale, who was opening the doors that led to the hallway. He gave me a questioning look. \"If I'm quick,\" I explained, \"I might be able to get down into the lab before Besk can—\" Shale pulled the door all the way open. Besk stood outside. \"Ouch,\" Shale said. \"Sorry, Kai.\" Besk raised a single painted-on eyebrow. He was like one of those statues that people carved on the outsides of buildings. Limbs that seemed too long, robes too stiff, face expressionless. Long ago, I'd shared a drop of my draught of immortality with him. He'd haunted me ever since. He bowed. \"Your Imperial Majesty.\" \"Besk,\" I said. \"I'm afraid the daily briefing will have to wait. I had some very important mental breakthroughs regarding Lancing that I absolutely must record.\" Besk regarded me for a long, unblinking moment. He carried a distinctive piece of slate in his fingers. As large as a book, yet incredibly thin, there was nothing else like it in the empire. To the side, one of the servants helpfully carried in the crumpled paper I'd left on the balcony, then set it on the desk, just in case it was important. Besk's eyebrow rose another notch. \"I will walk with you to the lab then, Your Majesty.\" Shale gave me a farewell pat on the shoulder, then clanked away. He'd faced assassins, terrors, and rebels without flinching, but even after all this time, Besk made him nervous. \"You may wish to consider giving Sir Shale a leave of retirement, Your Majesty,\" Besk said as we began to walk. \"He likes what he does. And I like having him around.\" \"Your will is, of course, law.\" \"Yeah. Unless the Wode is involved.\" \"In over a century of rule, this is the only time the Wode has called upon you.\" Besk held up the piece of slate he carried. The Wode Scroll, the only official means of communicating with the outside. The Scroll was filled with words, none of which I wanted to read. From the little I saw, however, the tone of the Wode's letters was growing more forceful. I had been ignoring them too long. We walked for a time in silence until we eventually left the corridor and stepped out onto a wall-walk between towers. I shouldn't be so hard on Besk, I knew.

It will be up to Team Naventic to fight their way back to their former glory.\n\nIs K1pro Still a Ranged Assassin?\n\nIf you are new to the Heroes esports scene, you may not be familiar with the k1pro that we all love. There was a version of this player who was the undisputed best ranged assassin in the game. His Tyrande was devastating, his Tassadar revolutionary, and his Jaina unstoppable, even without cleanse. It has been a long time since we have seen that version of him.\n\nRecently, the k1 we have seen has been whiffing stuns as Anub'arak and struggling to find a clear identity. Now, k1 has a chance to return to his old ways with Gale Force Esports. The team has already moved past their identity crisis and solidified their roles. There is no room for k1 to play off-tanks or other unconventional picks. He is replacing Khroen as their ranged assassin. This move is a tall order for the former World Champion. We have never seen a truly impressive Li-Ming from him, and his old comfort picks are all out of the meta. In a world full of Vallas, Greymanes, and Tychuses, where does the former best player in the world stack up? He has not had a strong organization or skilled leadership guiding him since the days of Cloud9. Perhaps the leadership of Fan and Udall under the Gale Force Esports banner will be enough to bring back the k1 of old.\n\nCan Tempo Storm Still Dominate?\n\nNorth America is a strange region. On the international level, Tempo Storm is not an especially impressive team. They struggle at every event, and their weaknesses are quickly exposed. However, they continue to dominate back in North America. They were the unquestioned kings of the region during Phase 1.\n\nThe prevalent theory is that, between their coach and smart drafters, Tempo Storm can simply read all of their North American opponents. They know what their opponents like to draft and how to counter it. Heroes is such a draft-focused game that, by consistently winning the draft, Tempo Storm essentially goes into every match with an advantage. They also happen to be one of the only teams with a genuinely great warrior and support combo.\n\nThis season is a little different. During the full break, Tempo Storm's focus has been on their international opponents at the MSB. They have not been scrimming the new rosters of North America or studying any footage of them. They have also not been scrimming or practicing on the newest patch. It is virtually impossible for Tempo Storm to have a strong read on the North American meta going into the early weeks of Phase 2.\n\nSo, will we finally see a Tempo Storm that has to play without first reading their opponents? Are Khala and Cattlepillar so smart that they can read the meta with only a week to prepare? Is their duo of Fury and Jun so much better than most teams that they can carry the team through the early weeks?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10402, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "94171d93a1e23af64749ad6b3dd592cec6ebc17f", "raw_chars": 3326, "clean_chars": 3363, "edit_ratio": 0.0746, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog comic is an intimidating beast.

And believe me, starting at issue #1 is not a good idea.\n\nFor those looking to jump in with the latest issues, they might be left a little perplexed. Old-school fans of the games from the 1990s could be put off by all the modern Sonic trappings they do not care about. Meanwhile, youngsters who were not alive in the previous century could not care less about those weird non-SEGA characters like Sally, Bunnie, and Antoine.\n\nHow do you satisfy older fans who want the nostalgia of the 1990s as well as younger fans who do not want all that baggage from a 25-year-old cartoon that got cancelled after two seasons?\n\nWriter Ian Flynn and artist Tyson Hesse may have very well found the solution.\n\nSonic Mega Drive #1 (Archie Comics)\n\nSonic Mega Drive #1 picks up shortly after the events of Sonic CD. Sonic reunites with Tails, and together they endeavor to stop Eggman (Dr. Robotnik) from collecting the seven Ancient Gears. Eggman intends to use their power to create the Mega Drive and pick up where his foiled Death Egg scheme left off. Sonic and Tails journey through numerous Zones to keep the Gears from him, linking up with old friends like Amy and Knuckles along the way.\n\nLook, I am not much of a modern Sonic the Hedgehog guy. The Genesis trilogy and Sonic CD are sort of where I draw the line on his games, and that is not for lack of trying. I quit somewhere around the soul-crushing mediocrity of Sonic Heroes, and from what I understand, the games only proceeded to get less playable. I never touched the 2006 Sonic game, but the videos on YouTube are a riot.\n\nSo when it comes to Sonic, I am an old fogy forever trapped in the 1990s (hence my preference for \"Robotnik\" over whatever stupid thing SEGA says we are supposed to call him now).\n\nThat said, I do like some of the non-SEGA stuff. Ever since the reboot, Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog ongoing has been downright readable for perhaps the first time in its entire publication history. You think I am being all \"damning with faint praise,\" but I dare you to read anything between issues #50 and #160. Hell, go do a Google Image Search for some page or panel selections.\n\nNo, that is not a fan comic from DeviantArt you are looking at. That is official SEGA-licensed Sonic the Hedgehog comic art. People paid money to read these.\n\nBut yeah, the book has been pretty good since it rebooted. The 1990s cartoon characters like Sally and all them persist, but they have been rerendered into an aesthetic style congruent with SEGA’s actual Sonic character designs.

BGR provided the first look at the unannounced handset in mid-April, followed by exclusive details regarding its unique 3D interface and gesture-based controls. The publication also revealed that \"Prime Data\" would serve as one of the device's key advantages in the crowded U.S. smartphone market.\n\nNow, BGR has exclusively obtained a new image of Amazon's smartphone, revealing the handset's design for the first time. When BGR initially published live photos of the Amazon smartphone prototype, the device was covered by a protective housing designed to prevent unauthorized viewing of its hardware, keeping its physical appearance a mystery. That is no longer the case.\n\nThe newly published image is the first to reveal the design of Amazon's debut smartphone. Multiple trusted sources have verified the authenticity of the image, which was created for internal use by Amazon's graphic designers. As seen in this exclusive image, Amazon's phone features an overall look similar to many full-touch smartphones currently on the market. It appears to take design cues from several existing devices, including Apple's iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy S lineup, and the HTC One, which shares a polished, chamfered bezel similar to the one on Amazon's phone.\n\nIn terms of size, the phone is described as a bit large but reasonably comfortable to use with one hand. Amazon's unique gesture controls were designed in part to make one-handed operation of a large phone as easy as possible, and sources indicate the device succeeds in that regard.\n\nAs BGR reported earlier, the device pictured here will be the first of several smartphones Amazon plans to release, with an unveiling expected in late spring or early summer. Sources indicate the device will feature a 4.7-inch display with 720p HD resolution, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, six individual camera modules, and a highly customized version of Google's Android operating system similar to that found on Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets. It will rely on Amazon's own mobile app store for third-party software distribution.\n\nThe first Amazon smartphone will also feature a novel interface with 3D effects enabled by four front-facing infrared cameras that track the user's head position relative to the screen. Coupled with additional sensors, these cameras facilitate unique gesture-based controls used to access menus and additional information.\n\nOne of the handset's key selling points will be a special data plan Amazon refers to as \"Prime Data.\" While the exact offerings remain unclear, sources suggest the phone could be an AT&T exclusive and that Prime Data may be a monthly package including a certain amount of free Prime video and music streaming.

If you missed the earlier posts in this series, here is a quick recap.\n\nToday's topic is special because it represents the heart of this entire month-long project. Today's task is simple: do 1% better.\n\nEvery day is a chance to improve. I will share a secret about financial success. Success does not happen after your next raise or promotion. It does not happen after you pay off your debt, launch your own business, or finally close on the home of your dreams. It happens every single day. The rest of your life is an aggregate of every single effort you make to improve the way you manage your money.\n\nWhen asked what spurred him to create a scholarship program for youth in Bexar County, Texas, NBA player Tim Duncan shared a story from his childhood. He recalled that his mother used to have him recite a nursery rhyme before bed:\n\n\"Good, better, best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is your best.\"\n\nLet's do something better today.\n\nIf you can do something, you can do one more. I am not a very athletic guy. I weighed 330 pounds in December. I have been overweight all my life, and it was not until my health started to scare me that I got serious about fixing it.\n\nI started going to the gym, but the first few days were so hard that I wanted to give up. I remember sitting on a stationary bike, six minutes in and feeling terrible. My legs were burning, I was sweating like a pig in a sauna, and my heart was pounding in my head. I felt like I could not breathe. I wanted so badly to give up when the thought popped into my head: \"Screw this. If you can do six, you can do seven.\"\n\nI knew I had already accomplished six minutes on that bike. My muscles had done that, even if they did not yet realize they wanted to. If they could do six, was I going to let them tell me they could not do just one more?\n\nSo I did seven minutes.\n\nThe next time I went to the gym, I set my new goal at seven. I knew I had done seven yesterday, so I could do seven today. When I got almost there, I started feeling that same despair. Everything hurt, and I did not want to keep going. I told myself, \"If you can do seven, you can do eight.\"\n\nSo I did eight. And then I did nine, because I started telling myself, \"If you can do eight, you can do nine.\"\n\nThree months later, I have lost a pound a week. I am at 318 pounds now.\n\nThe same thing applies to your personal finance. If you can pay $100 on your debt this month, you can probably pay $101. If you can make 10 sales today, you can make 11. If you can save $50 on your groceries with coupons, you can probably save $51. If you can invest $4,000 this year, you can probably invest $4,100.\n\nFinancial success does not happen overnight. Do not chase after people who \"made it big.\" Very few people win the lottery. Most people will not sell a million copies of a hit app. Most people will not become famous movie stars, rappers, or athletes. And let's be honest: the ones who do rarely hold on to their wealth. It vanishes because that kind of success is often fleeting and requires huge spending to keep up appearances.\n\nReal success comes from daily effort. It comes from the effort to develop good financial habits and break bad ones. It comes from daily study, reflection, and thought to make the best financial decisions possible. It comes from doing until it hurts, and then doing just one more.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10420, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "acdfb6c6bc6fe202501dd9efd8c836ecb83ed875", "raw_chars": 3438, "clean_chars": 3514, "edit_ratio": 0.8484, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "JOHANNESBURG — The International Association of Athletics Federations cleared Caster Semenya to immediately return to track competition on Tuesday, ending an 11-month layoff during which she underwent gender verification tests after becoming the 800-meter world champion. Semenya is permitted to continue competing as a woman, though it remains unclear whether she has undergone any medical procedures or treatment during her absence.\n\nThe IAAF stated that medical details regarding the 19-year-old South African athlete would remain confidential and that it would offer no further comment on the matter. In a statement issued from its Monaco headquarters, the governing body confirmed it accepted the conclusion of a panel of medical experts that Semenya could compete with immediate effect. She is eligible to return to competition at the world junior championships in Moncton, New Brunswick, starting July 19.\n\n\"I am thrilled to enter the global athletics arena once again and look forward to competing with all the disputes behind me,\" Semenya said in a statement. Richard Stander of Athletics South Africa noted that Semenya would now be considered for the South African team for the world junior championships, pending a fitness test in Pretoria on Wednesday requested by the federation. \"Of course we are happy,\" Stander said. \"When an athlete cannot compete it is frustrating for them and frustrating for us as a federation.\"\n\nStander indicated that the African championships in Kenya in late July and the Commonwealth Games in India in October were more realistic targets for Semenya following her long absence from competition. Semenya's lawyers reported that negotiations with the IAAF lasted 10 months and were held in Monaco, Istanbul, and Paris. \"But due to the nature of the matter the parties resolved to keep the negotiations confidential,\" said Greg Nott, managing partner of Dewey and LeBoeuf's Johannesburg office.\n\nSemenya underwent gender tests following her dominant performance as an 18-year-old at the Berlin world championships last August. \"We are delighted that Caster is finally being permitted to compete with other women, as is her legal and natural right,\" lawyer Jeffrey Kessler said. \"Hopefully, this resolution will set a precedent so that no female athlete in the future will have to experience the long delays and public scrutiny which Caster has been forced to endure.\"\n\nEarlier, Semenya's father said his daughter had told him before the announcement that she would be cleared. \"She told me she doesn't have any problems and she is happy,\" Jacob Semenya said. The announcement ended a saga in which the teenager burst onto the world scene in Berlin, capturing a gold medal in her first major event. Her dramatic improvement in times and muscular build led the IAAF to order gender verification tests.\n\nSemenya was welcomed as a national hero in South Africa following her stunning victory, but reports of the gender tests and stories in the Australian media claiming she had both male and female sex organs caused outrage in her home country and led some public officials to rally behind her. Last month, South Africa's sports ministry abruptly canceled a news conference in which it was expected to announce Semenya's return. South African sports minister Makhenkesi Stofile released a statement saying it was \"great news for Caster and all of us.\" \"We thank Caster for her patience and resilience,\" Stofile said. \"We thank her family and coach for their unfailing support.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10427, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bcaa923cc063b6ff2fd5345fb94008f17426cc3e", "raw_chars": 2184, "clean_chars": 2201, "edit_ratio": 0.3742, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Week five of the writers strike is officially ugly.

Jay Leno, who promised nobody would miss a car payment or lose their house, initially left his staff to flounder as NBC shut down the Tonight show. It is difficult to make good on promises of financial support when you are only banking $27 million a year.\n\nSpeaking of money, the guild received at least an initial portion of a new offer from the producers. They promptly walked from the table, saying they needed four days to digest the proposal, but then took all of four minutes to publicly shred the offer.

Environmental advocates are already mobilizing to hold the president to that promise. They argue that Obama's re-election, occurring amid the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, serves as a clear mandate for climate action, in stark contrast to his opponent Mitt Romney, who mocked sea-level rise during his campaign's biggest speech.\n\nCampaigners have put Obama on immediate notice by calling for a demonstration on November 18 at the White House to demand he scrap the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. \"In the wake of hurricane Sandy, as the warmest year in American history draws to a close, as the disastrous drought lingers on in the midwest, everyone is looking for ways to make a real difference in the fight to slow climate change,\" stated an open letter from 350.org and the Sierra Club.\n\nHowever, a strategic decision by the White House in 2009 to downplay climate change, combined with Obama's avoidance of the issue during the campaign, makes it difficult for the president to claim he was elected specifically to act on the issue. Furthermore, the Republicans' continued control of the House of Representatives will limit Obama's scope for action. Nevertheless, environmental campaigners believe that Sandy—and an endorsement from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who cited Obama's position on climate change—create public space for the president to act.\n\n\"Of course president Obama certainly did not take up the cause in the way we had hoped but he has indicated in numerous events and in the New Yorker and Rolling Stone that climate will be a top priority for his second term,\" said Betsy Taylor, president of the climate strategy firm Breakthrough Solutions. \"There is reason to feel hope. We moved from silence to a growing mandate for action.\"\n\nA number of newly elected Democrats in the Senate and the House of Representatives also owe their victories, in part, to support from environmental campaign groups, giving greens more allies in Congress. The president has an early opportunity to show he intends to deliver on climate change.\n\nThe first major decision will be on the Keystone XL pipeline, a project designed to expand production of the Alberta tar sands by pumping crude to Texas refineries. The administration is due to make its decision early next year, and many believe Obama will approve the pipeline. Environmental groups will also be watching whether Obama continues to fight to keep tax credits for the wind industry during the lame duck session of Congress. Their expiry at the end of the year has hurt the industry, leading to layoffs. Obama has said he will continue to fight $46 billion in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.\n\nThen there are appointments. Obama came to the White House in 2009 with a green \"dream team,\" including Nobel laureate Steve Chu as energy secretary. He will have to make new appointments in his second term. He must also decide whether to resurrect the post of White House climate adviser, which has been empty since early 2011 when Carol Browner stepped down.

Since their approval in the 1990s, both drugs have carried warnings about sexual side effects, but these warnings previously noted that the symptoms would resolve after stopping the medication.\n\nThe updated warnings for both drugs will also include reports of infertility and poor semen quality, noting that these conditions typically returned to normal after patients stopped taking the medication.

We are Soothsayer Hot Sauce, a small-batch hot sauce company from Chicago. Though we are just starting out, we are confident in saying that we are the premiere mystic-themed hot sauce company in Chicago, if not the world. Soothsayer might also be the only mystic-themed hot sauce company, but that's besides the point. All of our sauces are all-natural, gluten-free, allergen-free, vegan, and tasty as hell. Our bottling is done by hand, and each bottle is numbered for batch and bottle number. We pride ourselves on three things: fresh and locally sourced ingredients, an exceptional flavor profile, and an accessible level of heat. These are not the sauces for a Scoville scale strongman; we make products for everyone to enjoy. Our sauces act as an excellent accent flavor with just the right amount of heat. Speaking of our sauces, let's introduce them.\n\nOur Big Three Sauces: Harbinger, Perdition, and Omen.\n\nHarbinger:\n\nA roasted red pepper base serves to mellow out the fiery manzano pepper and give the sauce a nice, savory balance. Touches of garlic and onion help add some depth of flavor and make this an excellent sauce for Italian-leaning foods. Coming from a city obsessed with pizza, we had to make sure we did this one right.\n\nPerdition:\n\nThis is the sauce that started the idea for making Soothsayer a legitimate business. An all-orange habanero sauce, Perdition started as a prototype called 'Orange Crush' as it features orange habaneros, carrots, and orange bell peppers. The sweetness of the carrots and bell peppers is balanced by the tang and spice of the habaneros to give this sauce a truly unique flavor. Higher on our spice scale, this sauce is still accessible to almost all who have tried it so far. This is an incredibly versatile sauce and will become an instant staple in your fridge.\n\nOmen:\n\nBased on a traditional Mexican salsa verde, Omen is our workhorse sauce and one of our most popular. Packed with jalapeños and garlic, it provides a little bit of kick with a whole lot of taste. Though the least spicy of the three, it has proved to be one of the most popular as it will become almost impossible to eat a plate of eggs or indulge in Taco Tuesday without it.\n\nWho We Are\n\nHi! My name is Kyle and I like hot sauce, tattoos, punk rock, and hot sauce.\n\nThe idea for Soothsayer was inspired by years of punk and metal shows in dive bars, dumpy venues, old basements, and wherever else music can be played. Not to sound overly cliché, but the do-it-yourself attitude is infectious and the support of the people in these communities is inspiring. So I said 'to hell with it' and started making hot sauce. And people started responding to it. Earlier this year I sent out samples of these three sauces to over 25 different states and was flooded with reviews, feedback, pictures of what people used it on, and one other surprising thing...the request for more.

Thanks to an underground theatre group and supporters including Jude Law and Tom Stoppard, the world is finally waking up to its plight.\n\nBritain's greatest living playwright is nodding gently in his sleep. Tom Stoppard is uncomfortably folded into a second-class Eurostar seat, his head lolling against his shoulder. I had been told that he would give me an interview half an hour before we reach Brussels, so after a moment's hesitation, I tap him on the arm. Like a lizard, he slowly opens one bloodshot eye.\n\nHe is not just tired; he is jet-lagged. He feels a bit ill, or \"odd\" as he puts it. He has just returned from America and got up at the crack of dawn to catch the Eurostar in order to spend three days attending something called the Brussels Forum. \"And I don't even know what the Brussels Forum is,\" he says. \"Do you?\"\n\nI shake my head.\n\n\"I'm really not entirely sure why I'm here. I was in New York and Natalia rang me up and asked me to come. So I came.\" He considers this. \"Why are you here?\"\n\nNatalia asked me, I say, and we share a moment of mutual incomprehension at the fact that he is addressing a conference of Eurocrats while I am attending one. But then \"Natalia,\" or Natalia Kaliada, is an unstoppable force. Stoppard calls her \"the little dynamo,\" but this is understating the matter. She is the artistic director of the Belarus Free Theatre, previously based in Minsk and now in exile, an organisation that has become the central motor of a campaign to draw attention to the terrible political repression happening in a country that, as Natalia points out frequently to any audience that will listen, \"is in the middle of Europe, only two hours from London.\"\n\nFive years ago, Natalia wrote to Stoppard and asked him to sign a letter of support, and it is why he now finds himself in situations like this: spending the weekend in Brussels with a hotel full of high-level government ministers, having agreed during an inattentive moment to give the conference's \"opening remarks\" before a keynote address by the president of Europe.\n\n\"And I really have no idea what to say. What on earth do you think I should talk to them about?\" It is only in retrospect that I realise the man who wrote Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Jumpers, and Arcadia, and who was the great champion of dissident writers of the eastern bloc, is probably not actually seeking my advice. Because, oh dear God, I give it anyway.\n\nYou are the only person here who doesn't represent a vested interest, I say. It is really up to you to go and stir things up.\n\n\"You think I should bang the Belarus drum?\" he says. \"I was wondering if I should. Or if I should talk about what the purpose of these forums are?\"\n\nBang the drum! I say. Bang the drum!\n\nIn my defence, Natalia Kaliada is a force field I defy anyone to resist. I have watched Jude Law stumble blindly into it. He turned up at the Observer's office on a sunny Saturday, two weeks ago, to introduce her at our TEDxObserver event; next thing you know, he has promised to be at the Houses of Parliament for a performance alongside Natalia's husband and co-founder of the Belarus Free Theatre, the playwright Nikolai Khalezin.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10461, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "03148df5f5640b2b82a5dee988dec6124b57802f", "raw_chars": 2639, "clean_chars": 2627, "edit_ratio": 0.0406, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Professionals will answer questions and provide advice and recommendations regarding the use of traps or other wasp control methods. They will also make suggestions for how to manage waste products that are attractive to wasps and will have the proper equipment and products to control wasps in a safe and effective manner without endangering people or pets.\n\nSigns of a Wasp Infestation\n\nSigns of an infestation are dependent on the species, but most often the workers and the nest are the most likely indicators.\n\nBehavior, Diet & Habits\n\nWasp species are categorized as social or solitary. As their name implies, social wasps live in colonies, which may number in the thousands. Within these colonies, female workers perform all duties within the nest. Solitary wasps live alone and therefore do not have a colony. They do lay eggs, but their eggs are left alone to hatch.\n\nSome wasps are predatory, while others are parasitic. Predatory wasps kill and consume other insects as well as other animals, which they often feed to their larvae. Parasitic wasps typically lay their eggs in the bodies of living creatures like caterpillars or spiders. The larvae feed on the still-living host. Wasps can assist in the management of other pests, particularly in agriculture as biological control agents. Many wasps also feed on nectar from flowers and therefore function as pollinators.\n\nSome wasps are aggressive species and can sting when threatened. Unlike honey bees, wasps are often capable of stinging multiple times.\n\nThere are many species of wasps that are important pollinators. However, taken as a group, wasps do pollinate but are not as effective at pollinating as bees. This is primarily because bees have hairier bodies than wasps, so pollen is more likely to stick to a bee’s body and be transported from one flower to another.\n\nReproduction\n\nLate in the summer, the queen of some species will produce unfertilized eggs. These will develop into males. The males will fertilize the wasps that will become the queens of the following year. These fertilized females will overwinter in a sheltered location. In most cases, the rest of the colony will perish when winter comes. Next spring, the queen will start laying eggs. The fertilized eggs that they produce will become workers, building the nest and feeding the larvae produced by the queen.\n\nMore Information\n\nWasps are often beneficial to mankind. Several species are used by humans as parasites to control pests, such as in agriculture. Others are predators that help maintain insect populations. Others function as pollinators and help with plant fertilization.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10463, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "30be99d982c5cb782d8d5d49126fd304d88a063b", "raw_chars": 3438, "clean_chars": 3286, "edit_ratio": 0.2374, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Harry Redknapp, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is determined to end his club's 21-year wait for FA Cup glory this season.

This is a great opportunity for us to go all the way this year. On our day we can beat Chelsea. We can beat anyone.\"\n\nRedknapp acknowledged the strength of his opponents, noting, \"There is not a lot between the two teams, but they have the medals to show for it.\" Chelsea defender Gary Cahill echoed this sentiment, saying, \"They are a hard team to beat. Harry Redknapp is a fantastic manager and he has turned them into a real force this season so it will be a tough game.\"\n\nSpurs are currently fourth in the Premier League, two points ahead of Chelsea, but have won only one of their last eight games. Redknapp reflected on their recent form, saying, \"We were in a fantastic position but have ended up losing points. Arsenal have been on a great run and picked up win after win and that's what has changed - but I'd have taken this position at the start of the year for sure.\"\n\nHe also addressed the club's historical context, stating, \"People forget where Tottenham should be at times. They have won two Carling Cups since 1991 and the average finishing position until four or five years ago was probably about 10th.\" Redknapp guided the team to Champions League football in the 2010-11 season and is confident of achieving it again, but he insists that new recruits are needed. \"If we want Champions League football again we need to improve the squad again in the summer,\" the 65-year-old said. \"You have to keep improving because everyone else around us will. If you want to start winning championships then you really have to push on and raise the bar because that's the only way you are going to do it. You just need to keep adding a little bit of quality to your squad. We need to bring one or two top quality players in and make us even better.\"\n\nDespite their recent indifferent form, Spurs winger Gareth Bale is confident his team has sufficient quality to overcome Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea side at Wembley. \"Chelsea are a great side and have done really well in the Champions League.

We've got another chance to reach the FA Cup final and we're determined not to let it slip by this time.\"\n\nChelsea have won the FA Cup five times since Spurs last lifted the trophy, their most recent success coming in 2010. Their defense of the trophy last season was ended in the fourth round with a defeat on penalties by Everton, but defender Gary Cahill, who joined the Blues from Bolton in January, was part of the Bolton side that was beaten 5-0 by Stoke City in the last four. \"That game is not a fond memory,\" said the 26-year-old. \"It's something that hurt at the time and still hurts me now.

His comments followed a Washington Post report citing US intelligence officials, which stated that Pyongyang had produced a nuclear warhead small enough to fit inside its missiles. This development suggests that North Korea is advancing its nuclear weapons program at a much faster rate than previously expected, potentially enabling it to strike the US sooner than anticipated.\n\nThe heightened tensions come shortly after the United Nations approved additional economic sanctions against North Korea. The UN Security Council unanimously agreed to ban North Korean exports and limit investments, prompting fury from Pyongyang and a vow to make the \"US pay a price\". The heated rhetoric between the two leaders intensified after North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in July, claiming it now possessed the ability to hit the US.\n\nAddressing reporters on Tuesday, Mr. Trump stated, \"North Korea best not make any more threats to the US. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.\"\n\nAnalysis of the situation suggests that Mr. Trump's language goes well beyond standard diplomatic statements. By responding to what he described as \"threatful\" remarks from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un with apocalyptic warnings, Mr. Trump may be pursuing a strategy reminiscent of the \"madman\" theory, where adversaries are deterred by the unpredictability of the US commander-in-chief. However, when the leader of the world's greatest superpower, the only nation to have used nuclear weapons in conflict, speaks of unprecedented \"fire and fury,\" those words carry significant consequences. During his campaign, Mr. Trump criticized former President Barack Obama for not enforcing a red line against Syria's use of chemical weapons. Now, President Trump has drawn a fiery bright line with North Korea, one that could commit the US to a perilous course of action if his warnings are ignored.\n\nThe Washington Post quoted an intelligence community report assessing that North Korea has produced nuclear weapons for ballistic missile delivery, including ICBM-class missiles. While it was previously believed that North Korea was still years away from being able to fire a nuclear weapon, the country has long carried out separate nuclear tests and missile launches. Following the UN sanctions, North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency announced on Monday that it would continue its nuclear weapons program. Pyongyang stated it would \"not put our self-defensive nuclear deterrent on the negotiating table\" while facing threats from the US, and threatened to make the US \"pay the price for its crime... thousands of times,\" referring to America's role in drafting the UN sanctions resolution.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10495, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "1d1bcd9b8ab078e42079948a80737e6dfd9c016c", "raw_chars": 2576, "clean_chars": 2576, "edit_ratio": 0.0004, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Air.

Government newspapers run daily articles criticizing the National Council and dismissing Ibragimbekov as a political amateur.\n\nIn a speech to a YAP gathering on June 7, Aliyev did not mention the National Council, but instead accused the opposition generally of following \"orders given to them from abroad.\" \"They are ready to make any concessions in order to come to power,\" he said. Referring to Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnic-Armenian region of Azerbaijan that has been de facto independent since 1994, Aliyev said the opposition \"is ready to present Karabakh to Armenia.\"\n\nYAP Deputy Chairman Ali Ahmadov told a local news agency this week that the National Council was \"an ordinary incident in Azerbaijan and carries no significance.\" He predicted it would collapse \"within a short time.\" In comments to RFE/RL, YAP Deputy Executive Secretary Mubariz Gurbanli echoed the same line: \"First, I do not believe they will agree on one candidate. Second, even if they agree, it will not produce a major result for the sociopolitical process of the election, as they expect. Nothing will change, regardless of who they nominate.\"\n\nBehind the scenes, Aliyev and his party may not be so sanguine. In recent weeks, Abbas Abbasov, a former insider who is based in Moscow, has weighed in with some highly critical statements about the Aliyev regime. Abbasov served as deputy prime minister under Heydar Aliyev, is a wealthy and influential figure in the Azeri diaspora, and is a friend of Ibragimbekov's. In addition to his clout, analysts view him as a potential source of funding for the opposition.\n\nNevertheless, with the National Council in intense negotiations over its single candidate, it is far from certain that Ibragimbekov will be endorsed. At a meeting on June 21, the group failed to choose a common candidate. Although he is popular and well-known in Azerbaijan as a cultural figure, he has little political experience. In addition, he has spent much of the last few years living abroad, splitting his time between Moscow, Baku, and California. He is a secretary of the Russian Cinematographers Union and chairman of the Confederation of Cinematographers Unions, which unites similar organizations from across the former Soviet Union.\n\nIbragimbekov has not openly said that he would like to be the opposition candidate, and he has not appeared in Baku since the National Council was founded. He did tell Reuters in a recent interview that he \"would not be afraid\" to run, if drafted. Speaking to RFE/RL, he said he was coy about his plans. \"I have my own candidate in mind. We'll discuss it. I hope a single candidate will be agreed upon. Several people want me to be the candidate.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10504, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "30d336237df14162f1fd51cd76627ca4dd8ff6ab", "raw_chars": 3010, "clean_chars": 2972, "edit_ratio": 0.0064, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When the World Outlawed War: An Interview with David Swanson\n\nFor those who know war only through television, criminalizing it sounds like proposing to criminalize government. But there was a time when the masses made war illegal.\n\nBruce E. Levine\n\nAlternet, November 21, 2011\n\nDavid Swanson’s recently released book, When the World Outlawed War, tells the story of how the highly energized peace movement in the 1920s, supported by an overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens from every level of society, was able to push politicians into something quite remarkable—the Kellogg-Briand Pact and the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy. The 1920s “War Outlawry” movement in the United States was so popular that most politicians could not afford to oppose it.\n\nDavid Swanson, since serving as press secretary in Dennis Kucinich’s 2004 presidential campaign, has emerged as one of the leading anti-war activists in the United States. While Swanson has fought against the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and tried to alert Americans to the fact that U.S. military spending is the source of most of our economic problems, his anti-war activism goes much deeper. He wants to stigmatize militarist politicians as criminals. In his previous book War is a Lie, Swanson made the case for the abolition of war as an instrument of national policy, and When the World Outlawed War provides an historical example of just how powerful war abolitionism can be.\n\nBruce Levine: At a college lecture that you recently gave, you asked the students and professors if they believed war was illegal or if they had ever heard of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, and only about 2 or 3 percent of a large group raised their hands. But what really seems to have disturbed you is when you asked if war should be illegal, and only 5 percent thought that it should be.\n\nDavid Swanson: Well, both responses bothered me somewhat, but only one surprised me at all, and only one offended me. I knew people in the United States did not believe war was illegal. I knew that only the most serious peace activists had heard of the Kellogg-Briand Pact and that even they didn’t recognize its value, including the degree to which it is stronger than the U.N. Charter in its prohibition of all wars, not just certain kinds of wars.\n\nBut why wouldn’t people want war to be made illegal? To my ear that sounds like not wanting slavery or rape or torture to be illegal. And I’m still in the camp that considers torture irredeemably evil, by the way. At the end of the 19th century, when the United States snatched up Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam, Panama, etc., there was a popular love for war in the air. At the end of World War I, war was widely viewed as an evil disease to be eradicated. From World War II forward to today there has been an ever increasing tendency to view war as ordinary, necessary, and patriotic—if not a war in Vietnam or Iraq, then certainly some other war.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10504, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "68ef6038870f9d0acc1e139539a9ff0f7215fff0", "raw_chars": 3385, "clean_chars": 3444, "edit_ratio": 0.4687, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In the past, war was often viewed as a conflict that backward Europeans had dragged the United States into, aided by heavily resented propaganda produced by President Woodrow Wilson’s public relations team. Today, if you ask someone in the United States whether they support peace, they may say they like peace but would not want to oppose wars. Even in the 1920s, the United States was waging war in Nicaragua and threatening intervention in Mexico, yet peace was still considered the norm. At that time, wars were typically imperialistic, humanitarian, or racist, and were seen as conceivably avoidable. Now, wars are framed as necessary to protect us from evil, meaning they are considered defensive. This shift stems from a twisted interpretation of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which was used to prosecute Nazis. A treaty originally intended to avoid banning \"aggressive war\" in order to ban all war was transformed at Nuremberg into a ban solely on aggressive war. Consequently, every war since has had to be justified as \"defensive.\"\n\nPro-war attitudes today are not insurmountable. Public opinion turned against the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars fairly quickly and never fully supported the Libyan War or various drone wars. However, there is a more significant difference between the 1920s and today: the rise of the military-industrial complex. While this complex had existed since the Civil War, with the Navy being built up concurrently with the U.S. Senate’s ratification of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, weapons companies were not pulling Congress’s strings in the 1920s. Farmers, who wanted Europeans to buy more corn and less weaponry, held more influence than arms merchants. Additionally, congressional districts were smaller, bribery was illegal, newspapers were fairly diverse and credible, television did not exist, gerrymandering had not been perfected, and it was common for members of the House and Senate to oppose their political parties’ positions. Women gained the vote in 1920. Although Jim Crow laws prevented many African Americans from voting and eighteen- to twenty-year-olds still could not vote, the robber barons did not run the whole show, and some of them invested heavily in peace activism.\n\nThe deck is stacked against us today, and we know it. Outlawrists in the 1920s did not imagine they would live to see success, but they believed it would likely come in a future generation, step by step. They believed that outlawing blood feuds, dueling, and slavery pointed the way toward outlawing war. They believed in cultural progress, even if it came slowly. Thus, they happily worked for what they believed to be a just cause, what William James called \"the moral equivalent of war,\" and they seemed to go through fewer cycles of optimism and pessimism than most activists today. They exhibited less interest in what their cause could do for them than in what they could do for the cause.\n\nThis attitude came hand in hand with their belief in democracy. Frank Kellogg, the mean-tempered Republican Secretary of State for whom the Kellogg-Briand Pact is named, hated and cursed peace activists in 1927, but by 1928, he worked night and day to answer their demands. Why? In part because the peace activists did not line up behind political leaders, a president, a party, or Frank Kellogg himself. They moved the entire culture, all parties, and all politicians in their direction. Kellogg eventually lined up behind them.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10506, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "37f166e4367daf8fffadefbf2f15d0837618b8ac", "raw_chars": 3426, "clean_chars": 3426, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Pacific Crest Trail doles out hazards in cruel ways. Thousands of hikers on the 2,650-mile trek face perils including rattlesnakes, exposure, corneal flash burns from snow glare, and heatstroke. But 2017 is shaping up to be one of the most frightening years in the national scenic trail’s history, thanks to the massive snowpack in the Sierra Nevada combined with the trail’s unprecedented popularity.\n\nJust a couple of months into hiking season, thru-hikers are posting stories of near-death experiences.\n\nJack Haskel, spokesman for the Pacific Crest Trail Association, is fielding calls and hearing stories “every week, if not every day” involving avalanches, falls on slippery slopes, exposure, and dunkings in chin-high creeks. “There was a pretty serious incident in which a hiker fell and punctured a lung,” he says.\n\nSequoia and Kings Canyon national park staffers contacted Haskel about several recent medical evacuations by helicopter. One involved a hiker who fell near Forester Pass, the trail’s highest point, at 13,153 feet. In early June, Haskel issued a bluntly worded message on a 16,000-member Facebook page for PCT hikers. “I’m worried that someone will die,” he wrote. “It’s no joke…Do you have the fitness and skills to do this type of stuff safely?”\n\nPCT thru-hikers usually begin from the southern terminus in Campo, California, near the Mexican border in late April or early May. This means that the first hikers have already breached the southern end of the Sierra Nevada, where winter snowfall, in certain high elevation spots, reached record highs: the overall snowpack in the Sierra is the deepest since 2011, according to California’s Department of Water Resources. California desperately needed that precipitation after an historic drought, but the same conditions have brought out the nasty and unpredictable side of the PCT.\n\nRecord snowpack was reported at Sonora Pass, lower Carson Pass, and other high-elevation spots on or close to the PCT, according to Jeff Anderson, staff hydrologist for the snow survey department of the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Reno, Nevada. In June, Anderson and his team measured 180 inches of snow at Leavitt Lake at 9,600 feet, just east of the Sierra crest. “Given this rate, it is likely that this area will not be snow-free for fifty to a hundred more days,” he says.\n\nIn late May, thru-hiker and experienced mountaineer Brien Bower, a 25-year-old volcano climbing guide from Seattle, was walking near snowbound Glen Pass when he started checking for avalanche conditions. Suddenly, a large shelf of snow gave way and started sliding down, with Bower still standing on it.\n\n“Looking up, I could see the rocks on the other side of the valley were quickly moving by,” Bower recalled. “I knew I was in an avalanche. All I could do was try to stay upright and in control.” Bower slid 400 feet down the slope and fell down a 20-foot vertical drop. “I’m lucky it wasn’t 200 feet,” he said. Bower escaped without broken bones, though he was treated for dehydration and sunburn at a hospital in Fresno, but the near misses are piling up.\n\nNear the end of May, an Australian hiker whose trail name is “Thor” got swept away while attempting to ford Bear Creek near Selden Pass in the High Sierra. He tumbled and rolled in the water before swimming to shore, according to a video post uploaded by hiker Daniel Winsor on his “Professional Vagrant” page.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10508, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "0180252668a0262444b3b07d975cb9aef453fa61", "raw_chars": 3259, "clean_chars": 3238, "edit_ratio": 0.2483, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The emcee provided only rudimentary descriptions of the action on screen: units exploding, spaceships exploding, Zergs moving from one side of the screen to another.

He says it went \"better than expected,\" but the reality is that it put him on the StarCraft map in ways his professional gaming career had not. He was a confident, articulate speaker with charisma and a sense of humor who not only knew StarCraft like the back of his hand but could talk about it in a way that engaged people on a level no previous emcees had achieved.\n\nOff the back of this casting, he was invited to do more. Tournaments in Italy, Germany, Japan, and Singapore invited him to cast in English. He wasn't paid to do any of it—professional casting wasn't recognized as a career back then—but the travel was free. In his final semester of college, Korea came calling. StarCraft 2 had just been announced. It would be some years before the game would be released, but Korean broadcasters began investing in casting talent in preparation for the launch. They saw how big StarCraft became despite there being no professional English commentary. They knew StarCraft 2 would be even bigger and, with casters like Plott on board, they would be able to extend their reach even further.\n\n\"I read the email three to four times to make sure I wasn't crazy or misunderstanding it,\" Plott says. \"Then I told my family.\" A Korean broadcast, GOMTV, emailed Plott after hearing about him through the grapevine. It made an offer: he would move to Seoul and provide English commentary for the broadcaster's StarCraft tournaments. There were no guarantees of anything—he'd have to find his own place to live, acculturate on his own, and there was no promise that this gig would lead to anything else. \"I read the email three to four times to make sure I wasn't crazy or misunderstanding it,\" Plott says. \"Then I told my family. There was some concern, but I said, 'Look, I'm going to go. I don't really care if you don't want me to go.'

This was something he was doing for the community. \"I felt like we deserved something like this and no one was doing it, so I did it,\" he says. He recorded his low-quality audio to a PC and uploaded the files online. In 2008, he was contacted by a competing Korean broadcaster. \"I thought, 'Oh, my God, this is it, this is my opportunity, I cannot screw this up!'\" Stemkoski says. \"It was pretty awesome.

While elders ordain teachers and priests, no specific ordination prayer for elders is provided. It is likely that elders are called when they are given the authority to confer the Holy Ghost, as detailed in Moroni 2. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the ordination of teachers and priests is performed by \"the power of the Holy Ghost\" (Moroni 3:4). Consequently, ordination to the office of elder is not directly connected to ordination to the \"high Priesthood\" or a direct ordination to the office of elder itself; rather, one becomes an elder when granted the authority to confer the Holy Ghost.\n\nIn the current Church, ordination and calling to the Priesthood are treated as the same thing, but in the Book of Mormon, they are distinct concepts [3]. As described in Alma 13, men are first \"called and prepared... on account of their exceeding faith and good works.\" They are \"called with a holy calling.\" Thus, the calling precedes the ordination: \"Now they were ordained after this manner – being called with a holy calling, and ordained with a holy ordinance.\" The holy ordinance is not described in Alma 13 or anywhere else in the Book of Mormon. Because the text refers specifically to the office of high priest, it may be referring to a kind of spiritual ordination, similar to what occurred with Alma. This ordinance has a symbolic connection to Jesus: \"these ordinances were given after this manner, that thereby the people might look forward on the Son of God, it being a type of his order, or it being his order, and this that they might look forward to him for a remission of their sins, that they might enter into the rest of the Lord\" (Alma 13:16). This verse might also imply that the Priesthood ends with Jesus, since it was given \"that the people might look forward on the Son of God.\" This could explain why the office of high priest disappears after Jesus appears to the people of the Americas.\n\nThere are examples of men who, living in a time or place without established authority, received authority without the laying on of hands, such as Melchizedek, Alma, and Abinadi. Alma gained his authority by praying, \"O Lord, pour out thy Spirit upon thy servant, that he may do this work with holiness of heart.\" He seems to have gained the office of high priest simply because he founded the church: \"And now, Alma was the high priest, he being the founder of their church\" (Mosiah 23:16). The apparent lack of ordination for these men to the office of high priest may be a clue that the ordination described in Alma 13 is spiritual and does not involve the laying on of hands. Some have argued that Alma the Younger's calling and ordination also occurred spiritually without the laying on of hands [3], even though an existing high priest was present. This would suggest that spiritual ordinations can occur even within a current hierarchy. This stands in stark contrast to the importance modern Mormons place on prophetic succession, angelic ordination, and Priesthood hierarchy.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10533, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "014cf60f64ef6601dc2219642687bceb461c66a5", "raw_chars": 3446, "clean_chars": 3447, "edit_ratio": 0.0001, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "There are several more ordinances in the modern Church that are not found in the Book of Mormon, such as baptism for the dead and the endowment. These came later in the modern church, of course. While these are now seen as required for salvation, the Book of Mormon shows no knowledge of these requirements.\n\nWhile in the modern Church Priesthood is given to all worthy men, and is even considered a requirement for salvation for men, this concept is not found in the Book of Mormon. Offices are only given to select individuals (Mosiah 25:19), and only high priests are members of the “holy order” of the Priesthood (Alma 13).\n\nIn the modern Church healings and miracles are performed with Priesthood. In the Book of Mormon miracles are not connected to Priesthood, authority, or offices. On the contrary, it is stated that faith alone is what is required. “Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.” (Mormon 9:21). See Moroni 7, Mosiah 8:18, Ether 12, and the rest of Mormon 9.\n\nConclusion\n\nPriesthood in the Book of Mormon is much different than we know it today. To understand what the authors are saying we must read it on its own terms rather than imposing a modern conception of Priesthood on it. Many Mormon-apologists have taken time to attempt to prove that Mormonism is a restoration of New Testament Christianity. Whether it compares well is a topic for another blog post. However, it is clear to me that Mormonism is not Book of Mormon Christianity. This is somewhat surprising since the Book of Mormon is the text which is not corrupted by scribes. While many Mormons now view the “Restoration” as restoring the same Church that was founded by Jesus, this view is not supported by analysis of the Book of Mormon. The Restoration, in my opinion, should be viewed as an evolving process that leads the Church in new directions, introduces new doctrines, and reinterprets ancient scripture.\n\n[1] Gregory A.

I thought I was going to lose my mind making it all fit together. Sometimes I was sure I actually had lost my mind. There was an especially bad winter I was living in Leipzig, where I spent a lot of time walking around feeling like I was never going to finish and everything was hopeless. It was a very difficult time. The longer the novel was unfinished, the more it endangered my ability to keep teaching, which was a large part of my income. It endangered my ability to get further grants. It endangered my relationship, because I had been working on the novel so obsessively for so long that my partner felt widowed by the project. Everything in my life felt like it was being crushed to death underneath this problem: How should the novel be structured?\n\nHow did you break through that?\n\nActually, my first ideas about the novel, the ones that for a long time I trusted least, were the ones that solved the problem. I’d run as far away from them as I could. But the only answer was the first answer: It would be a retrospective novel about Lilliet looking back on these different pieces of her life and trying to make sense of them. The idea that she may be cursed was also one of those old ideas—she’s afraid she’s destined to repeat the fate of her characters. But I’d worried that was too corny. Finally I realized I had no business writing a novel about opera if I wasn’t going to be able to risk being corny.\n\nYou published Edinburgh in 2001. What made the journey to the second novel so long?\n\nI had the idea for it around 2000, around the time Edinburgh was going out on submission. And there was an incredible amount of excitement about The Queen of the Night even back then. Sorry, that sounds horribly conceited. It dwarfed the attention to Edinburgh. There was the novel I was trying to sell and there was this, like, two paragraphs about a novel I might write in the future, and every publisher was like: Can you do that one?\n\nThat sounds like a mind-fuck.\n\nIt was incredibly depressing. I’d already tried to find a publisher for a previous manuscript, which was bigger, more ambitious—I’d wanted to write a Great American Novel–type novel but centered on the AIDS activists in San Francisco and New York. That got nowhere, no surprise. Then I sat down to try to write Edinburgh, an autobiographical novel, and that took five years to write and two years to sell. So when publishers were saying, can you write this other one now? I thought: If I keep going back to see if publishers like something, where am I going get in my life? So I found an independent publisher for Edinburgh, and tried to move on. But in the aftermath, I was pretty bitter. I didn’t feel like I’d tried to do anything particularly more difficult with Edinburgh than any other …\n\nDebut novel?\n\nYeah, exactly. So it took me a while to get back to The Queen of the Night. I was angry with it as an idea because I felt like it had sort of ruined my life, by taking so much attention away from Edinburgh. So it essentially languished in a drawer until 2004, when I pulled it out, dusted it off and thought, Oh, I actually really like this idea.\n\nWhen you turned it in the first time your editor seemed perfectly happy with it.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10551, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "326fde16bf2d54770572a14946509fe24365c197", "raw_chars": 3041, "clean_chars": 3245, "edit_ratio": 0.7149, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The maximum penalty for an adult carrying a knife is four years in prison and an unlimited fine.

A young second-year linebacker named James Farrior started for the Jets that day against the likes of Jerry Rice and Steve Young. He wore number 58 that day, but would switch to number 51 in 2002 when he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent. He went on to lead some great defenses over the rest of his stellar career.\n\nFarrior was probably one of the greatest free-agent acquisitions the Steelers have ever made. He was the eighth overall pick in the 1997 draft, earned All-Pro honors twice with the Steelers, and was a significant contributor on two Super Bowl championship teams. Farrior was released by the Steelers earlier this offseason, and at 37 years old, his agent announced last week that he is contemplating retirement.

As Scott wrote in his diary, the feast included an arrowroot, cocoa, and biscuit hoosh, a thick stew that was sweetened, followed by plum pudding, cocoa with raisins, and finally a dessert of caramels and ginger. After the feast, it was difficult to move. Wilson and Scott could not finish their share of the plum pudding, but they slept splendidly and felt thoroughly warm, noting the positive effect of full feeding.\n\nFour days later, on December 28, the explorers continued to battle through the snow. Scott wrote that the marches were terribly monotonous. While one's thoughts might occasionally wander to pleasanter scenes and places, the necessity to keep the course or deal with some hitch in the surface quickly brought them back to reality.\n\nA new exhibition commemorating the ill-fated adventure will open at the Natural History Museum on January 20, three days after the 100th anniversary of the explorers reaching the pole. Artefacts such as clothes, sledges, and pickaxes will be reunited with scientific specimens collected by the explorers on the Terra Nova expedition, alongside a re-creation of the wooden hut at base camp. Elin Simonsson of the Natural History Museum stated that the exhibition aims to highlight the importance of the voyage as a scientific endeavour, a story that has often been overshadowed by the human tragedy of the explorers.

This map shows where your state stands, based on data compiled as of January 2014.\n\nProPublica awarded each state a score based on how closely they follow six key elements outlined in reform bills and U.S. Department of Education non-mandatory guidance. The highest score is 12, indicating the most restrictions, while the lowest score is 0, indicating the least restrictions. The six elements evaluated are whether the use of restraints is limited to emergencies, whether the use of seclusions is limited to emergencies, whether parental notification of either practice is required, whether the use of seclusions is prohibited, whether restraints that restrict breathing are banned, and whether mechanical restraints are prohibited.\n\nEmergencies are defined as situations involving potential harm to the student or others. ProPublica did not consider \"academic disruption\" or \"property damage\" as emergencies. Georgia is the only state to prohibit seclusion in all cases. Most states do not require that parents be told every time children are subjected to restraints or seclusions. Restraints that restrict breathing include the so-called \"prone\" restraint, which some states have prohibited explicitly. Mechanical restraints use artificial devices like straps, handcuffs, or bungee cords to restrain a student.\n\nThe data includes various nuances: parental notification is required in some instances in certain states, some states allow practices with a parental waiver, some states apply rules only if included in an Individualized Education Program (IEP), and some bans are limited to prone restraints. Additionally, some states permit prone restraint by trained staff, while others allowed it through August 2015. Seclusion is allowed if the child is \"supervised\" in some jurisdictions.

Here is a cooker-to-cooker comparison of the differences and similarities between the two types.\n\nWhile electric pressure cookers require almost no monitoring to bring, maintain, and release pressure, it takes them more time to get there. However, if you can leave the house while an electric pressure cooker is running, does the extra time it takes to reach and release pressure really matter?\n\nMatch the cooker to your cooking personality\n\nThrough years of use and interacting with readers of the website and in-person demonstrations, I have narrowed down how to match a pressure cooker type to a cook. Which of these profiles most closely matches your cooking prowess and lifestyle?\n\nElectric pressure cookers are best for those who are nervous about fiddling with heat settings, as the electric cooker will do it automatically; just set it and forget it. They are ideal for those drowning in electric appliances like slow cookers, rice cookers, and yogurt makers, as an electric pressure cooker will replace all of them. Busy parents who need to schedule dinner to be ready when they walk in the door will appreciate the cooking delay timer available in some models, which starts cooking dinner before anyone is home. They are also great for college students or persons with limited kitchens, as the electric pressure cooker is a complete cooking tool that browns, sautés, pressure cooks, and keeps food warm, with some models doing even more. Seniors and/or otherwise abled persons will benefit from the fact that there is no need to remember if the burner is on or off, as the cooker will turn itself off after cooking and can be placed at any height for easy access. Expert cooks who have already moved all of their cooking to pressure and often have more than one stovetop cooker running will find an electric cooker to be a great addition to the ensemble.\n\nStove-top pressure cookers are best for those who want speed and power, since they reach higher heat and pressure than electrics. They are ideal for those who value durability over convenience, as electrics can last years but stove-top cookers last decades, even generations. They are also suited for cooks who want to try advanced pressure cooking techniques, many of which require the higher pressure and lesser evaporation of modern stove-top cookers. Finally, they are great for cooks who like to tinker and supervise the cooking, since the pressure releases faster than with electrics.\n\nI have recently moved to almost exclusively using electric pressure cookers, as they fit better with my lifestyle as a busy mom. I have not abolished stovetops completely from my kitchen, however. I still pull out a stovetop pressure cooker to test cooking times, recipes, and try new techniques.\n\nMore Info: The Pressure Cooker Buying Guide\n\nStove-top pressure cooker vs. electric pressure cooker\n\nHere is a detailed comparison listing the pros and cons for each pressure cooker type...\n\nMaximum pressure and pressure settings", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10592, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "23eaeb79aa5783240758835e28d924cafb466435", "raw_chars": 2952, "clean_chars": 2961, "edit_ratio": 0.3533, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Before we get started with our first bowl, I think it’s important to talk about how to pack the glass tubes of the Solo 2.

Naturally, you can pack your Solo 2 tubes much like a one-hitter by taking the tube and plunging the end into your herbs using force to pack the bowl. Ground herbs tend to float up to the straw as you inhale, so whole herbs work best with this method. After you have your herbs loaded, it’s important to tamp them down so that they sit just below the rim of the glass. This will prevent your herbs closest to the steel heating element from over-vaping.\n\nNow, before you insert the tube into the Solo 2 oven, draw from the tube to test the airflow. If the airflow is tight, remove some herb and repack. I find the best results when I insert the tube into the oven as it heats. With the Solo 2’s 30-second heat-up time, I have no problem letting my herbs preheat a little before I take my first hit.\n\nUsing the new fancy LCD screen on the Solo 2, I am able to set a precise temperature. I’m excited for the flavor of this all-glass experience that the Solo 2 gives me, so I decided to set a low temperature of 355°F for the beginning of my session. Like lightning, the Solo 2 oven is ready and gives a little beep. The first hit is a little wispy, as is typical with the Arizer portables, but the flavor coming off the herb is incredible. As the herbs inside the tube begin to heat up, the hits get thicker and more flavorful as you go. As with any vape, you’ll want to increase the temperature as you go along, which is made very easy with the new display and buttons on the Solo 2. Two clicks up on the display, and I increase the temperature to 375°F. With the Solo 2, you can now change the temperature by both 10-degree and 1-degree increments, making it easy to skip to your temp and dial it in for precision. At 375°F, the Solo 2 is pumping out vapor like a machine. Which is good, because it is a little vape machine, lol. What I always thought would be nice with the Arizer portables would be the addition of a carb hole along the stem so you could clear out the stem of your residual vapor, as the stem of the glass tube usually stays milky with the cloud of vapor from the bowl.\n\nFirst Week\n\nIn a week’s time and daily use, we only had to charge the Arizer Solo 2 once. The large-capacity battery of the Original Solo was something that helped its popularity. The Solo 2 now doubles that vape time to almost 3 hours, or 18 ten-minute sessions. That is a ton of vape time, folks. Honestly, you could charge up the Solo 2 and go camping without any electricity and be fine for almost a week. I don’t know how many other vapes I can say that about. The battery life made it very easy to explore the many new features and capabilities of the Solo 2, made possible by the LCD screen.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10606, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5ae46d86cce8fac0f7867a03f58e34a6a5dfdf00", "raw_chars": 2693, "clean_chars": 2686, "edit_ratio": 0.3965, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A recent subscriber-only report from HSBC Global Research sheds light on what is at stake in the fight over climate policy. The short answer is that a great deal is at risk, particularly for those invested in fossil fuels.\n\nThe International Energy Agency states that to have a 50 percent chance of limiting global average temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, humanity can only afford to burn about a third of known fossil-fuel reserves between now and 2050. This implies leaving approximately $20 trillion worth of assets in the ground, a figure the agency describes as global warming's \"terrifying new math.\"\n\nHSBC analysts attempted to determine the impact on the value of European oil and gas companies if governments implemented policies to achieve this goal. The effects would be dire.\n\nFirst, HSBC assumes that with policies in place to hit the 2-degree target, any projects costing more than $50 per barrel for oil or $9 per mmBtu for natural gas would be abandoned. This would reduce the reserves of an oil-focused company like BP by 25 percent, while gas-focused companies like the BG Group would take a smaller hit of just 1 percent. State-owned giant Statoil would see its market capitalization fall by 17 percent.\n\nThe secondary effects would be even worse. If demand for fossil fuels were cut by two-thirds, prices would plunge. HSBC estimates this would reduce the oil and gas sector's total market capitalization by 40 to 60 percent.\n\nSerious climate policy could reduce the value of large fossil fuel companies by half.\n\nIt is unlikely that world governments will become that serious about climate policy anytime soon. However, it is even less likely that they will do nothing as catastrophe unfolds. Some form of climate policy will emerge, and that will inevitably impact the valuation of fossil fuel companies.\n\nThis is known as \"carbon risk,\" and it is not adequately priced into markets, or at all. The risk varies with carbon content, meaning unconventional fuels like heavy oil and tar sands are at the greatest risk, followed by coal, then oil, and finally natural gas. In a low-carbon world, even gas would take a hit, growing less than half as fast as it has over the past decade.\n\nDifferent regions would be affected to varying degrees. The areas most at risk include the Middle East, Latin America (predominantly due to Venezuelan heavy oil), Canada (predominantly tar sands), and Africa (predominantly Nigeria and Angola).\n\nSooner or later, investors will become nervous about carbon risk, regardless of their personal concerns about climate change. Banks and financiers will grow wary, and the stock market will react.\n\nThen things will get interesting.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10604, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8f396e1d56a72fdbb356dedb8f4a67724a0df027", "raw_chars": 3304, "clean_chars": 3288, "edit_ratio": 0.571, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The ascension of Senator Floyd Morris to the presidency of the Senate yesterday raised a flag of hope for members of the disabled community, who believe he will further champion their cause. Senator Morris made history in 1998 by becoming the first blind person appointed to the Upper House, and he repeated that feat yesterday when he took his place as the first-ever visually impaired person to head the Senate.\n\nSeveral disabled students from various schools across the island were present to witness the moment. Michelle Golding Hylton, head of the Integrated Department at the Salvation Army School for the Blind, served as chaperone for several integrated students—disabled children who have passed their Grade Six Achievement Test and are integrated with regular high school students. She witnessed the installation and expressed her impression of the move. \"It will be an opportunity to show persons who are disabled that they, too, can be in a superior position,\" Golding Hylton told the Jamaica Observer.\n\nIn the meantime, she expressed hope that the National Disabilities Act, which has been in development for more than six years, will finally be passed into law. \"What I would hope also is that, when it becomes law, the reservation of at least 10 per cent of spaces for disabled persons that the government has promised over the years in the National Disabilities policy will now be enforced so that persons who are visually impaired and physically challenged will become employed,\" she said. Pointing to the students, she noted, \"Some of them have five, six, and eight CXC subjects, but unfortunately, a number of them will not get employment. We have a number at the university, and we hope that through this move they will be employed both in the public and private sector.\"\n\nThe legislation, which aims to protect the rights of the disabled community, has been in the works since the tabling of a national policy for persons with disabilities in 2000 under a previous People's National Party (PNP) administration. That policy was debated in the Senate in January 2001 and in the House of Representatives in November 2005. In 2006, drafting instructions were issued to the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Council.\n\nYesterday, Ayoki Sargeant, a blind sixth-form student at Queen’s High School in Kingston, was elated for more than one reason. \"It is a great success and I am happy to know he is one of those persons, like me, who is in leadership. I am very happy and he is inspirational; he is one of those persons who help me aspire to greatness. I have always heard of him, from about the age of 13, and I listen to his talk show,\" she told the Observer.\n\nAlister McLean, a blind second-year student at the University of the West Indies, also has hopes pinned on Morris. \"I think what happens today is very historical, seeing that he is the first visually impaired senator to be elevated as president. In fact, he is the first visually impaired senator as well,\" he said. \"I think what this will do is open the door for more persons in the disabled community to get promotion, and this will serve as positive publicity for us to be employed, especially in the private sector, because currently most of us who are employed are employed in the public sector,\" he added.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10617, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c59438fe386b26d611ab55ef74995ef6c08b8d6e", "raw_chars": 3038, "clean_chars": 2916, "edit_ratio": 0.0477, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In determining whether the respondent was a hapless victim or was intentionally ignorant, we considered the following. First, the respondent accepted no responsibility for the firm's financial operations. He not only assumed that the bookkeeping system in place was proper and functioning as it should, but also took no interest in monitoring the books or the activities of Kauffman to ensure that to be the case. We note that an attorney's recordkeeping responsibilities are nondelegable. See In re Barker, 115 N.J. 30, 35-36 (1989).\n\nMoreover, the respondent permitted a situation to develop whereby he and Kauffman would lend money to the business account, \"casually\" monitor the amounts they were owed, and then repay themselves when funds became available. Yet, the respondent did nothing to determine when funds became available, instead leaving that crucial determination to Kauffman, who decided into which accounts funds should be deposited and out of which accounts funds were to be disbursed. The respondent created the perfect opportunity for Kauffman, if she chose, to use the firm's accounts as an equity line.\n\nSecond, most of the offending checks were stamped with the respondent's signature. Although the respondent claimed to know nothing of the stamp or Kauffman's use of it, the sheer number of checks that were stamped with the respondent's signature demonstrates clearly and convincingly that he knew that the stamp was being used and that he considered its existence another reason to simply look the other way. In particular, we note the number of checks issued in payment of the Zalek settlement. Clearly, the respondent, whose firm was responsible for the monthly payments to his former clients, would have ensured that the payments were being made and, thus, would have known that, if he was not signing the trust account checks, then his signature was being affixed with the stamp.\n\nThird, the respondent said it best when he remarked that he was \"in the dark\" when it came to the firm's books and records. He was so blind to the firm's financial matters that he never even saw the overdraft notices and was unaware of the Office of Attorney Ethics' investigation until just before the September 2012 demand audit. In our view, the respondent adopted a strategy that would put him \"in the dark\" about his firm's finances to avoid responsibility. His blindness was, in every respect, willful, and the consequences that flowed from that strategy were both material and predictable. To allow the respondent to benefit from his own self-imposed blindness would be tantamount to putting blinders on ourselves.\n\nIn sum, we find that the respondent knowingly misappropriated Thomas Bilgrav's funds and that he exhibited willful blindness in the cases of Anaya Grant and the unnamed clients whose monies were invaded in respect of the Zalek payments and the Kauffman disbursements.\n\n(Mike Frisch)", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10620, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "64f3fe0d925eeea16279aad11ba9a867f0e2aaed", "raw_chars": 2174, "clean_chars": 2380, "edit_ratio": 0.7945, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Less than a week after the sci-fi short film True Skin was released online, Warner Bros. acquired the rights to develop it into a feature film.

Chris Sewall, the short's producer, will serve as a co-producer.

Leveraging his FX background, he produced the short on a shoestring budget, hoping to use it as a showcase for his visual style and creative ideas. The project appears to have succeeded in its goal, and the studio now hopes to develop a feature with a strong underlying concept, produced on a budget similar to the sci-fi found-footage hit Chronicle.\n\nThe short film is set in the near future, a world where body augmentation is commonplace. The protagonist, unable to afford legal augmentation in the United States, travels to the black market in Bangkok. There, he acquires a mysterious chip that slowly begins to turn him robotic. The chip becomes a hot commodity, attracting the attention of shadowy forces.\n\nThe feature film will expand on this premise, thrusting the hero into a race against time to evade his pursuers and save what remains of his humanity.\n\nZlotescu, Sewall, and H1—who served as the cinematographer on the short and may receive a producing credit on the feature—form a video production team known as N1ON.

Regional Council has not changed this direction, having neither voted on it, or even received a report on progress to date.\n\nSo when staff who deal with property tell me “there is no municipal requirement” and the property should be sold, well, it simply makes no sense.\n\nCouncil said it wants an arts incubator downtown, in this building, repeatedly! It isn’t property staff that have dropped the ball. For whatever reason the promises made and the direction given back in 2010 were never followed up by staff, be it recreation, or culture, or whomever should have owned that arts incubator proposal and that process.\n\nThe municipality has been neglecting this building both physically and in terms of programming since it was acquired by the city for a dollar in the 1980s. The cost of renovations is now very high. Heritage architects and engineers that I personally trust and admire have reviewed the building and said that the floor system is failing and substantial engineering work will need to be done.\n\nBut I don’t really understand why my understanding and senior staff is so far apart on what should happen now. It seems crystal clear to me that two things should happen before we talk about possible disposal.\n\nCouncil motions do not have a best before date. The need and intent is unchanged. Staff has its marching orders. Why hasn’t any of the programming issues and a report on the success or failure of the 2010 plan come back to council? Staff should be actively engaging the KAS board, who in the 2010 report are supposed to be engaged in a management committee. Staff should be actively assessing what partners the municipality could have to rent the space to, talking to the Feds and the province about funding for the renovation, talking to developers and other big arts organizations about partnerships. I had one developer say he would renovate it and let the gallery stay for free for a 75 year lease. I had one major arts operator say they would take over management of the building and find tenants. There are a lot of unexplored options. Bring these options to Council. Engage the new Arts Halifax committee for ideas and suggestions.

I have watched many movies in 2015, and quite a few I immediately had to buy or plan to buy on Blu-ray. However, there is one piece of cinema that I experienced that sticks out among the others because, well, it is actually not even a movie, at least in the traditional sense. It’s a video game.\n\nThat video game is called Life is Strange.\n\nWoah, woah, woah, now I know what you’re probably thinking:\n\n“Wait, isn’t this a movie blog? What are you doing talking about a video game? You’re cheating!”\n\nLet me explain.\n\nLife is Strange is not what one would generally think of when you think of video games. There is no evil plot to destroy the world, no super villains, no armies at war, or even anyone to beat to make it to the next level. None of that. If you were to ask me what Life is Strange is like without actually sitting you down in front of it, I would say it’s an independent film that would almost definitely get a ton of praise at Sundance, combined with the DNA of those old Choose-Your-Own Adventure books you used to read in school, and injected with a shot of Twin Peaks for good measure. Are you intrigued yet?\n\nPlaying Life is Strange is an experience that is unlike most games. You watch various scenes, like a film, taking control of Max in different locations around Arcadia Bay to make decisions and affect the world and people around you. I recommend you take your time, which you will want to if you get even half as invested in the characters as I did. This is because choices matter in this game. If, for example, you decide to take a photo of someone, you may be able to use it to your advantage later down the line. Perhaps you make fun of a bully in a moment of distress to show them how it feels; their dialogue and actions towards you may be more or less severe going forward. It’s things like these that make the overall experience more personalized to the player, and someone else playing may have had the same event with a different outcome. If you don’t like a decision’s immediate consequences, you can do something (I will get to that in a moment) to change it and choose another, but keep in mind, immediate results may not reflect things in the long run, and once you leave an area, that choice is solidified.\n\nYou play as a young girl named Max Caulfield, an aspiring photographer who goes to a prestigious boarding school known as Blackwell Academy. After having a vivid vision of a cataclysmic storm headed to her residing town of Arcadia Bay, and witnessing a fatal shooting after an argument gone wrong in the girl’s bathroom, Max realizes in a moment of panic that she now has the ability to manipulate time. Max uses this ability to save the girl who was shot, but doesn’t recognize her until later, as her childhood friend Chloe Price, and this is where our story really starts.\n\nAt Blackwell Academy, things are indeed strange. As you work your way through the story, you will realize some characters are not as they seem, weird events start to happen around town, and the ever-looming fear of the giant storm from Max’s vision destroying the town and everyone in it grows more and more plausible.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10634, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "e4e3ed229acc80f6807563b31b9df4230723a3bf", "raw_chars": 2164, "clean_chars": 2158, "edit_ratio": 0.2781, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Paul: Yeah, it absolutely is.

Anyone with access to the internet can be a publisher, and anyone who can reach Wikipedia enters a digital haven where America’s First Amendment reigns.\n\nHowever, watchdogs report that speaking out is becoming more dangerous, and they are right. As our report shows, curbs on free speech have grown tighter. Without the contest of ideas, the world is timid and ignorant.\n\nFree speech is under attack in three ways. First, repression by governments has increased. Several countries have reimposed Cold War controls or introduced new ones. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia enjoyed a free-for-all of vigorous debate. Under Vladimir Putin, the muzzle has tightened again. All the main television news outlets are now controlled by the state or by Mr. Putin’s cronies. Journalists who ask awkward questions are no longer likely to be sent to labor camps, but several have been murdered.\n\nChina’s leader, Xi Jinping, ordered a crackdown after he took over in 2012, toughening up censorship of social media, arresting hundreds of dissidents, and replacing liberal debate in universities with extra Marxism. In the Middle East, the overthrow of despots during the Arab Spring let people speak freely for the first time in generations. This has lasted in Tunisia, but Syria and Libya are more dangerous for journalists than they were before the uprisings, and Egypt is ruled by a man who says, with a straight face, “Don’t listen to anyone but me.”\n\nSecond, a worrying number of non-state actors are enforcing censorship by assassination. Reporters in Mexico who investigate crime or corruption are often murdered, and sometimes tortured first. Jihadists slaughter those they think have insulted their faith. When authors and artists say anything that might be deemed disrespectful of Islam, they take risks. Secular bloggers in Bangladesh are hacked to death in the street, and French cartoonists are gunned down in their offices. The jihadists hurt Muslims more than any others, not least by making it harder for them to have an honest discussion about how to organize their societies.\n\nThird, the idea has spread that people and groups have a right not to be offended. This may sound innocuous. Politeness is a virtue, after all. But if I have a right not to be offended, that means someone must police what you say about me, or about the things I hold dear, such as my ethnic group, religion, or even political beliefs. Since offense is subjective, the power to police it is both vast and arbitrary.\n\nNevertheless, many students in America and Europe believe that someone should exercise it. Some retreat into the absolutism of identity politics, arguing that men have no right to speak about feminism nor whites to speak about slavery.

That said, there are plenty of Mormon beliefs that go against the grain of many modern sects of Christianity. And as it turns out, they make a whole lot of sense.\n\nMormons believe there are still prophets today. Mormons believe that God spoke directly to certain individuals in antiquity, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. They believe he still speaks to certain individuals, called prophets, today. Because, why wouldn’t he?\n\nSome theologians argue that the Bible holds all of the prophetic counsel we’ll ever need. But, respectfully, why? The Bible itself is simply a combination of smaller books that serve as evidence of God speaking to prophets over thousands and thousands of years. Why would he neglect us in modern times? The Mormons say He hasn’t, isn’t and won’t.\n\nThis concept really rubs a lot of Christians the wrong way. That said, scripturally, it’s a very rare occasion when people believe in an actual, current prophet. They always seem to believe in the prophets that lived before them, but really struggle to believe in the one standing in front of them. Exhibit A: Jesus Christ himself. The most powerful of all prophets (not to mention, the Savior). The people believed in Moses and Abraham, but crucified Christ.\n\nDespite our mortal shortcomings, Mormons believe that God has provided prophets to us today, just as he did in ancient times. Makes sense, right?\n\nMormons believe that God spoke to more than just ancient Israel. The Bible is the record of God’s dealings with the people in the ancient Middle Eastern region. Mormons definitely believe in the Bible, but they believe God dealt with people in other areas of the world as well. Because, again, why wouldn’t He?\n\nIn addition to the Bible, Mormons study The Book of Mormon, which is simply the record of God’s dealings with a branch of Israel on the ancient American continent. If God truly loves His children (us), why would He communicate exclusively to those in the Middle East? It makes sense that He would spread his message around the globe. It also makes sense that those who heard His message would write it down. So, I guess it makes sense that there might be more scripture than just the Bible.\n\nDon’t get me wrong, the Bible is great—but if there’s more of the word of God out there that corroborates, supports and elaborates on what the Bible says, you can bet I’ll be all over that.\n\nMormons believe that marriage and family continue after this life. I recently did a three-month stint in the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen—New Zealand. It was magnificent. The beaches were pristine, the foliage was lush and the people were saint-like. But then I realized something: I desperately wanted my family there with me. Despite the natural wonders of New Zealand, that paradise was not paradise without my family around me. I was alone.\n\nHeaven isn’t Heaven without your family.\n\nMormons believe that marriage does not end with, “till death do us part.” Instead, a Mormon wedding ceremony (they call it, a sealing ceremony) uses the terminology, “for time and all eternity.” If both parties involved live worthily of heaven, their marriage continues into the eternities.

These spears were typically around 7 to 9 feet in length, although this varied. Greek warriors carried their spears in their right hands and their shields strapped to their left arms. They likely employed both underhand and overhand grips depending on the situation and the amount of leverage required. Holding the spear underarm may have been optimal for the front line of the phalanx, while hoplites in the second and third ranks would almost certainly have made overarm thrusts. The rear rows held their spears in an underarm grip, raising them upwards at an angle to provide extra defense against incoming missiles.\n\nDoru often had curved, leaf-shaped spearheads and a spiked point called a sauroter at the opposite end. The spear could be spun around if the spearhead broke in battle, but the sauroter was more commonly used to stand the spear upright by planting it into the ground. This practice gave the sauroter its name, as it is Greek for \"lizard killer.\" It was also used by the back ranks to dispatch fallen enemies as the phalanx advanced over them while holding their spears in an upright position. Additionally, the sauroter served as a counterweight, balancing out the spear.\n\nAncient Greek warriors also carried short swords called xiphos as a secondary weapon. These were used when spears snapped or were lost in combat. They may have also been employed when a hoplite needed to discard his spear and shield to chase down routing enemies. The xiphos usually had a blade about 2 feet long, although Spartan blades were often only 1 to 1.5 feet long. This shorter xiphos would have been advantageous in the crush that occurred in the front row when two phalanxes clashed. In this tight press of men, there was no room to use a longer sword, but a short sword could be thrust through gaps in the enemy's shield wall into an unprotected groin, armpit, or throat. Smaller xiphos would have been particularly useful during the Peloponnesian War (431 BC - 404 BC), when many hoplites began using lighter armor, or even abandoning it entirely, in favor of mobility.\n\nAlternatively, Greek warriors could carry the curved kopis, a particularly vicious hacking weapon that earned it a reputation as a \"bad guy\" weapon in ancient Greece.

It is known from a single juvenile specimen representing the type species, Sciurumimus albersdoerferi, which was found in a limestone quarry close to Painten in Lower Bavaria. The specimen was preserved with traces of feather-like filaments.\n\nThe Sciurumimus specimen was first announced in 2011 in an informal presentation, but not formally described and named until the following year. Although originally classified as a basal megalosauroid, later phylogenetic analyses cast doubt on this placement.\n\nSciurumimus is known from a single holotype fossil that is exceptionally well-preserved, with a full skeleton in complete articulation along with fine details of soft tissue. It is comparable in size and proportions to the juvenile coelurosaur Juravenator, although it differs significantly in several anatomical details. The skull of Sciurumimus is proportionally large, at 156% of the length of the femur and longer than the cervical vertebrae series. These body proportions, along with short forelimbs, lack of fusion in the skeleton, and regular tooth morphology indicate the specimen represents a very young, probably early-posthatchling individual.\n\nThe fossil preserves filamentous plumage at the tail base and on other parts of the body. These structures are described as being identical to the stage 1 feathers preserved in some ornithischians, the basal tyrannosaur Dilong, and the basal therizinosauroid Beipiaosaurus. Although most of the preserved soft tissue on the Sciurumimus holotype likely represent integumentary structures, a small patch of what may be muscle tissue is observed along the rear edge of the tibia.\n\nWhen first discovered, a phylogenetic analysis suggested that Sciurumimus may have been a primitive member of the Megalosauroidea, a clade of large carnivorous dinosaurs more primitive than many other well-known theropods like the tyrannosauroids and carnosaurs, making it the most basal known feathered theropod. This classification was supported by one of three initial analyses conducted by the scientists who described it. The other two analyses, which the authors regarded as less well supported, found it as more closely related to Monolophosaurus and Avetheropoda, and in an unresolved position among avetheropods and megalosauroids, respectively. The exact position in the various analyses was difficult to determine due to the fact that the only known specimen is a very young juvenile.\n\nThis initial study was criticized by several researchers, who noted that some of the older analyses the scientists used to plug in data from the new fossil were incomplete and missing relevant data on various species. The relationships of Sciurumimus were tested in 2013, when an analysis containing all of the original data, plus additional data and corrections, was published in the journal Nature.

But who is this Jesus that is so immediately attractive, so easy to follow, so much like our own imagining? And then, who is this Jesus that we hear about in today's Gospel, who claims to have come to bring division rather than the establishment of peace (Luke 12:49-53)?\n\nThere are at least two reasons we might understand that Jesus was not entirely a \"nice guy.\" The first is that the Romans, despite anachronistic misunderstandings of their behavior and outlook, did not typically go around crucifying \"nice guys.\" Yes, while Jesus was without a doubt an innocent man who happened to be crucified, we should not forget that there was a reason that he drew attention to himself, and it wasn't for saying kind things about the way the status quo was maintained. More on that in a second.\n\nThe second reason that we can reasonably assume Jesus was not such a \"nice guy\" is that he tells us as much in today's Gospel selection from Luke, and we hear it echoed in the synoptic Gospel of Matthew with an even more disturbing emphasis on not-nice-guyness in terms of Jesus's claim to bring \"the sword.\"\n\nIt can be difficult to get beyond the seemingly violent message that Jesus appears to convey in his exhortation to his disciples. We might hear in Jesus's admission that he didn't come to \"establish peace on the earth\" something of an advocacy for violence. But that's not really what is going on.\n\nLikewise, it might seem that Jesus does not respect \"family values\" (isn't that an interesting read) in suggesting that those who follow him and live life according to the Good News he announces will find themselves among divided families and communities. But that's not really what is going on.\n\nWhat is going on is a straightforward, albeit counterintuitive, admission of the risk, challenge, and reality of authentic Christian living that centers on following the Word of God and becoming a prophetic voice in one's time and place!\n\nIn other words, we are called, like Jesus was, to not be \"nice guys\" (and \"gals,\" for those who aren't Millennials and use \"guys\" in an inclusive manner).\n\nJesus did indeed come to bring peace, but it was, as we hear elsewhere in Sacred Scripture, a \"peace the world cannot give\" (John 14:27). The peace that Jesus is talking about here, the \"peace\" that he did not come to establish, is the kind of peace that we might talk about when we express a desire to maintain the status quo or wish \"not to rock the boat.\" It is a kind of \"keeping the peace\" that eschews \"tough love,\" or a \"challenging voice,\" or the \"hard truth.\" It is a kind of \"establishing a peace\" that exists according to the wisdom of the world and not the foolishness of God, and rests in the reason of human injustice and not within the Reign of God.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10665, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "4382139b84d5271b0a758a21ce20deedde01cf11", "raw_chars": 2901, "clean_chars": 2920, "edit_ratio": 0.0335, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In soccer terms, the Jaguars' margin would have been 6.8 more goals than expected.

A 7-1 win might not seem all that uncommon to baseball fans, so it might help to think of it as the equivalent of a 47-point NFL road playoff victory, or a 40-point win on the road in an NBA playoff game.

In an article published online and in an upcoming issue of Behavioral Brain Research, Benasich offers significant new insight into the likely role gamma activity plays in supporting emerging cognitive and language abilities during the first 36 months of life.\n\nGamma waves are fast, high-frequency, rhythmic brain responses that spike when higher cognitive processes are engaged. Research in adults and animals suggests that lower levels of gamma power might hinder the brain's ability to efficiently package information into coherent images, thoughts, and memories. However, until now, little has been known about the developmental course of gamma power in children.\n\nAnalyzing the children's electroencephalograms (EEGs), Benasich and her team found that those with higher language and cognitive abilities had correspondingly higher gamma power than those with poorer language and cognitive scores. Similarly, children with better attention and inhibitory control—the ability to moderate or refrain from behavior when instructed—also exhibited higher gamma power. There were no differences in gamma power based on gender or socio-economic status.\n\nThe measurements were obtained by placing a soft bonnet with 62 sensors on the children's heads as they sat on a parent's lap and quietly played. In separate tests, the children were evaluated for their emerging language and cognitive skills. The researchers examined both children from families with normal language development and those at higher risk for problems because they were born into families with a history of language disorders. As suspected, the group of children with a family history of language impairments showed lower levels of gamma activity.\n\n\"We believe that maturation of the brain mechanisms that support gamma activity and those critical for mounting normal language and cognitive development may be occurring simultaneously,\" Benasich says. \"We seem to have identified a window, during a period of sustained and dramatic linguistic and cognitive growth, that can help us to better determine where a child is developmentally.\"\n\nSuch an understanding could provide for earlier and more effective intervention. For example, if a child is found to have lower than average resting gamma, intervention and learning methods could be instituted as a preventative measure.

Marlon Humphrey entered the season with talk of being drafted in the first round, while Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ronnie Harrison were freshmen phenoms. Averett was a four-star safety from the Class of 2013 who redshirted his first year and then saw most of his playing time on special teams over the next two years, partially due to injury. However, the departure of Cyrus Jones to the NFL left a hole at cornerback for 2016, and Averett emerged as the top option when Alabama went to its nickel and dime packages.\n\nPicked on right from the get-go against USC, Averett would settle down and steadily improve. This progress has quietly turned him into a lockdown corner. While he has yet to record an interception, Averett leads the team in pass break-ups with seven.\n\nIn one sequence, Averett is at the bottom of the screen in press coverage on his receiver, Donald Gray. Tony Brown shows blitz from the nickel, and Minkah Fitzpatrick comes down from his safety position to cover the slot receiver. This leaves Averett on an island against his man, and quarterback Nick Fitzgerald knows it. He fakes the handoff and lofts one to Gray, who is just running a fly route. Averett is running with him. He turns his head to locate the ball while keeping a hand on Gray. He swats at the ball with his right arm while he gets his left in between Gray’s hands, and he knocks the ball away for an incompletion.\n\nOn another play, Averett is at the top on the stacked receivers. He starts backpedaling, dropping deep. He keeps his eyes on the quarterback, however, and quickly transitions from the backpedal when he sees Fitzgerald going to Fred Ross on a quick screen. Ronnie Harrison does a good job of running past his block, which takes away any chance left tackle Martinas Rankin has of getting over to block. This leaves Averett one-on-one against Ross, and Averett handles it perfectly, acting decisively and taking Ross’s legs out from under him.\n\nIn a third sequence, Averett is in press man against his receiver, Fred Ross, at the top of the screen. He mirrors Ross, turning and running alongside him. Averett plays him close and physical, never allowing him to get any separation. With no room to run, Ross can’t get to where Fitzgerald places it, and the pass falls incomplete.\n\nLater, Averett is in single coverage on Fred Ross again. Averett begins to turn, but Ross cuts on an in route, not really disguising it. Averett matches and stays right on top of him, not wasting a single step. There’s a lot of contact, but Averett is playing the ball the whole way. He does a good job of staying inside the receiver’s left shoulder, and Ross doesn’t really have much of a shot against that coverage and with a high throw.\n\nFinally, Averett is at the top, giving about an eight-yard cushion to his man. Donald Gray fakes a post route, drawing Averett a step or two inside, but his speed allows him to easily recover. He maintains contact with Gray as he turns his head to find the ball. He does. Averett plays it perfectly and deflects it.

Image credit: via Wikipedia.\n\nPeter Gwynne, a former science editor of Newsweek, is a freelance science writer based in Sandwich, Massachusetts.\n\nA confrontation between ancient and modern studies is pitting particle physicists, who are seeking concrete evidence of dark matter, against marine archaeologists intent on preserving material from centuries-old shipwrecks. The source of this issue is samples of lead used for anchors and ballast in Roman ships that sank up to 2,000 years ago and have remained underwater ever since. The ancient lead's purity makes it invaluable today for shielding underground experiments designed to detect evidence of dark matter, the mysterious invisible substance that physicists believe accounts for 85 percent of all the matter in the universe.\n\nHowever, some marine archaeologists assert that, as part of the world's cultural heritage, the lead should remain in place for detailed historical study. \"The use of these objects as stock for experimentation had never been an issue before,\" wrote Elena Perez-Alvaro, a doctoral candidate in underwater cultural heritage maritime law at England's University of Birmingham, in the university's journal Rosetta. \"But now it is beginning to be deemed ethically questionable.\"\n\nBoth sides of the affair cite strong scientific justification for their use of the lead. \"Underwater archaeologists and cultural heritage protection policymakers need to evaluate the value of this underwater lead for future generations,\" Perez-Alvaro explained. Conversely, the lead \"is an essential element of state-of-the-art dark-matter searches,\" added Cambridge University physicist Fernando Gonzalez Zalba, who collaborates with Perez-Alvaro on studying the issue. \"These experiments could shed light on some of the most fundamental properties of the universe.\"\n\nThere is no shortage of the material. \"I personally have seen dozens of lead anchor stocks during our expeditions in the Mediterranean and Aegean,\" recalled Brendan Foley of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Deep Submergence Laboratory in Massachusetts. For archaeologists, studying those stocks has value far beyond understanding ancient metallurgical methods. The pieces of lead \"are marked with indicators of where they came from,\" said James Delgado, director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States. \"That helps us to reconstruct ancient economies and global trade.\"\n\nPhysicists have inferred the existence of dark matter by observing its gravitational influence in distant galaxies, but they do not know what it consists of. Among the most popular candidates are entities called weakly interactive massive particles, or WIMPs. Theorists believe that, although WIMPs are about the size of atomic nuclei, they scarcely interact at all with any other forms of matter. \"Very occasionally one of them will bump into a nucleus and rattle it around a bit,\" explained Daniel Bauer, project manager of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search, or CDMS. \"Our detectors are set up to measure the recoil of the nucleus when that happens,\" he added.

The story, which the administration has disputed, asserts that the aim of the Trump administration is to investigate and sue schools over actions that \"discriminate against white applicants.\"\n\nDo you see the problem? It's a common one in liberal defenses of affirmative action. We realize it in an admission a few sentences later in the story. The Justice Department document that The Times has obtained, you see, says nothing about white people. In fact, the document doesn't identify any specific victim of affirmative action, only the procedures of \"intentional race-based discrimination.\"\n\nNow, most people assume, as the Times reporter does, that white applicants are the ones who suffer when schools lower the bar for minority students. When the Supreme Court decided against Abigail Fisher in her challenge to affirmative action policies at the University of Texas, the interim president of the University of Houston Downtown predicted that while \"moral order has been restored in the universe, there will be more aggrieved whites.\" A journalist for The Root cast threats to affirmative action as the restoration of \"white-collar white supremacy.\"\n\nWhen we look at affirmative action policies at selective institutions, though, it isn't whites who will benefit the most if they are restricted. It is, potentially, Asians. In 2004, a Princeton University study of 124,000 applications to elite selective institutions looked at SAT scores and found that \"Asians experience the greatest disadvantage in admissions vis-à-vis other comparable racial/ethnic groups.\" The researchers claimed that being Asian is \"comparable to a loss of 50 SAT points.\"\n\nThe big surprise in the study was that Asians had to score significantly higher than whites, as well as blacks and Hispanics.

Athletes are typically captured in an action-sport context, which does a great job of conveying the raw emotions of competition but often obscures their individual identities. I want to change this mode of representation.\n\nMy goal is to photograph the US Olympic and National Fencing teams in a way that very few other photographers can accomplish. I aim to create images that will leave a lasting impression of these athletes, helping them secure sponsorships, while working toward the creation of an art photo book showcasing the Olympic and National team fencers.\n\nI come from a background in portrait, fashion, and beauty photography, which has given me an understanding of how to best represent people using light, composition, and posing. Additionally, I spent ten years involved in the sport of fencing as a competitor, referee, and coach. This combination of experiences has provided me with the unique set of tools, knowledge, and connections necessary to photograph the athletes in a way that highlights them at their very best.\n\nTo realize this vision, I need your help. The costs associated with producing these photo shoots would be prohibitive without a platform like Kickstarter.\n\nHere is a breakdown of the costs: Hiring a makeup artist, wardrobe stylist, and hair stylist is expensive, costing about $900 for a full team for an eight-hour day. Renting a studio with the right lighting equipment is also costly, running about $1,000 for the day. I will also need two assistants on shoot days, which will cost $400 per eight-hour day. A behind-the-scenes video will cost $250 per day of shooting. Finally, food for the shoots will add another $300 per day. All of these costs add up to make the daily photography cost approximately $2,850.\n\nThe plan is to photograph five teams over the course of five days, if possible. That comes out to about $15,000 in production fees.\n\nThen there is the cost of flying in the athletes who do not live in New York, which will cost a minimum of $400 per athlete. I will need to find them lodging for the days they are here, costing a minimum of $150 a night. The total estimated cost for travel and lodging is about $4,200.\n\nFinally, producing the rewards for this Kickstarter campaign can be done for about $1,500. Combined with Kickstarter's fees, the total comes out to about $21,000.\n\nHere are some photos that I was able to make, financing the shoots out of pocket, some with the help of a sponsor, Leon Paul.

Reported statistics show that victims are about 80% female. Statistics on the sex of the perpetrator are much harder to find and have not been located by the Unknown History of MISANDRY (UHOM) yet. The epidemic of acid attacks started, we are told, in the 1980s. These crimes are, by any reasonable person's agreement, of the most cruel kind and deserving of the most extreme condemnation. Yet, the specialists who make an effort to publicize this horrible crime epidemic classify it as a \"gender issue.\" The term \"gender,\" when used in such a way, universally connotes \"women,\" specifically in the sense of the victimization of women by men. Perhaps this classification accurately represents the proportion of each sex in the victim category, but it does not accurately disclose the fact that a huge number of the perpetrators are women, women who choose to commit atrocious crimes against other individuals.\n\nLet us try to overcome the confusion caused by the distorting lens of \"gender\" rhetoric by looking at a few cases remote in both place and time from those which are currently being, correctly, publicized.\n\nAcid attacks were in the past a common crime in the US and occurred in Europe as well. Since female criminality has been severely under-served by researchers ever since the beginning of criminology, it is worthwhile to examine a sampling of such cases. The most overlooked category of criminal violence, in terms of the sex of the perpetrator and the sex of the victim, is, of course, female against female.\n\nThe three cases of female acid attackers presented here, all occurring in the same city in the same year, are each quite different: one perpetrator threw acid on another woman, one threw acid on a man, and another threw acid on herself and then falsely accused someone else (an example combining self-mutilation and relational aggression). Studying long-forgotten cases such as these will assist those who wish to understand what the historical record reveals about the veracity of VAWA architects and their fallacious \"belief in the inherent non-violence of women\" (Barbara Hart, 1986).\n\nFor additional cases, see Acid Queens, a summary of over 70 cases dating from 1865 to the present, on The Unknown History of MISANDRY. It should be noted that a large share of acid attacks by women involve what nowadays we call \"stalking,\" another hot topic which is deceptively labeled as a \"gender issue\" (connoting male against female).\n\nFULL TEXT (Article 1 of 3): Made desperate by the complaint of her neglected daughter, whose address is unknown, Mrs. Kate Hayden went to the home of Mrs. Ruth Murphy, at No. 615 East Eighty-first Street, and attempted to destroy her beauty by throwing acid upon her face and neck.

This story, combined with the suspicion that her daughter was being slighted by Mr. Cawfold, made the mother furious. Leaving the house in a rage, she bought a bottle of carbolic acid.\n\nMrs. Murphy and her unmarried sister lived with Mrs. Catherine Manning, another sister. The women were refined and educated. They had been schoolteachers in Dublin until they came to America four years ago. One was a music teacher, and the other had written magazine articles. The sisters stated that Cawfold had called on them only three times and had never shown any attention to Mrs. Murphy. However, the fact that his wife was plain, while all of the sisters were beautiful, made his mother-in-law suspicious.\n\n“The vague complainings of her daughter seem to have turned her head,” said Mrs. Murphy yesterday. “For she came in here demanding that I return her son-in-law.

Mrs. Hayden burst in the door and exclaimed, ‘I’ll teach you to steal another’s husband. I’ll disfigure you for life!’ She threw the acid from the bottle at me. It burned my neck and back.\n\n“Nicholas sprang to save me and was burned on the face. My sister’s little children clung to the woman’s skirts, but she followed me through the flat trying to hit my face with the acid. Then she fled.”\n\nWhen Nicholas Cawfold and Mrs. Murphy went to a corner drug store to have their burns dressed, Mrs. Hayden rushed in and asked if they were so badly burned they would be marked for life. Then she disappeared, and the police have been hunting for her since.

After midnight, when the dance broke up, Lane went out on the street and met the girl, who then threw acid in his face. Then she ran away.\n\nThe other girl was with Lane when the acid was thrown, and when Sheehan ran away, she followed.

At first, he denied that he knew who threw the acid, and in a careless way asked those around him to have some soda water. He was firm in his denial about the girl when the roundsman brought her in.

Each of these aspects will react very differently to AlphaGo's victory.\n\nGo as a science is essentially finished because the interesting questions about the game have been solved. The first Go program was an ALGOL script written in 1968, and since then, research has progressed through three distinct epochs. The first epoch, lasting until 2007, focused on hard-coded expert knowledge and heuristics. The second epoch, which ran until 2014, built on Monte Carlo tree search techniques pioneered by researchers like Coulom, Gelly, and Silver. The third epoch, driven by DeepMind, lasted only two years but produced the greatest leaps in strength by delving into deep neural networks and reinforcement learning. The key questions of Go research were: Can computers match humans? Can they do it through brute force, or must they develop intuition? And is it possible to create a strong value function for the game? The answers were yes, intuition, and definitely. Science succeeds best when it renders further study unnecessary. For the research community, AlphaGo represents an unmitigated triumph because it has achieved exactly that. If our appetite for research is not yet sated, we will need to devise an entirely new set of questions.\n\nThe sport of Go will change rapidly, much like the sport of chess did. After Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue, chess computers quickly matched human ability at smaller scales, first on desktops and then even on phones. Stables of grandmasters were no longer necessary to prepare a champion for the next game, as grandmasters, aspiring professionals, and amateurs alike gained access to superhuman-level instruction and analysis. The theory of the game experienced a renaissance as computers introduced a flurry of new ideas. Cheating also ran rampant for a while but was quickly curtailed as the same computers that enabled cheating prevented it through move-by-move Elo analysis. Amateur spectators gained a better understanding of masters' games, with live engine-based analysis indicating who held the advantage and what alternative lines of play they could have chosen.\n\nWhether AlphaGo is involved in these developments or suffers the sad fate of Deep Blue, shut away forever by IBM after its last match, the Go world will see all these changes take place over the next several years.

According to Reuters, he added that \"the real meaning of jihad is loving your nation,\" and that the concept will be included in lessons on Islamic law and basic religious sciences.\n\nYilmaz elaborated on the Prophet Muhammad's teachings regarding jihad, noting that while returning from a war, the Prophet spoke of moving from a small jihad to a big jihad. He defined this big jihad as serving society, increasing welfare, ensuring peace, and meeting society's needs. \"The easiest thing is to wage war, to fight. The skill is the difficult one, which is to ensure peace and tranquility,\" he said. Although the term jihad is often translated as \"holy war,\" Muslim scholars also teach that it refers to a personal struggle against sin.\n\nInformation about last year's failed coup attempt, which resulted in a nationwide crackdown by President Erdogan's government, will also be included in the curriculum, according to Yilmaz. The day of the coup attempt, July 15, has been officially named \"Democracy and National Unity Day.\" Yilmaz stated that when the subject of winning democracy is covered in social sciences classes, the July 15 National Unity Day will also be covered.\n\nHe added that the new curriculum will include information on the Hizmet movement led by exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Ankara accuses of orchestrating the failed coup attempt. Turkey refers to the Hizmet movement as FETÖ (Fethullahist Terror Organization). The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which Ankara and the US have labeled a terrorist organization, and the Islamic State (IS) will also be included in the curriculum.\n\nYilmaz's comments follow the announcement last month by Alpaslan Durmus, head of the Turkish Education Ministry's education board, that the new curriculum would exclude references to Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. Addressing the decision to eliminate Darwin from textbooks, Yilmaz said it is being done \"because it is above the students' level and not directly relevant.\" Under the new curriculum, Darwin will not be mentioned in Turkish educational institutions until students reach university.\n\nMehmet Balik, chairman of the Union of Education and Science Workers (Egitim-Is), has condemned the new curriculum, saying it is an attempt to avoid raising \"generations who ask questions.\" He stated that the new policies, which ban the teaching of evolution and require all schools to have a prayer room, \"destroy the principle of secularism and the scientific principles of education.\"\n\nThe new curriculum will be rolled out for first, fifth, and ninth graders this school year, and will extend to other classes in the 2018-2019 school year.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10811, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "359411ba23a9aa4afc8a0b97ba46793b3ca05572", "raw_chars": 485, "clean_chars": 488, "edit_ratio": 0.2929, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "City Attorney Mike Rankin stated that the city would need to wait and see if Attorney General Mark Brnovich decides to pursue legal action against them.

Then Axel would spoil me all day to celebrate Mẹ’s death. But it would haunt me if I didn’t visit her new grave once. After that, I could forget about it forever.\n\nThe whole situation was making me sick. I didn’t feel like breakfast, but all that ginger ale would rot my teeth if I kept drinking it. I wanted it to clear up so I could have Axel’s eggs and toast again.\n\nI needed him to order some mangoes and olives and more pickled daikons. I wanted oatmeal cookies too.

I hoped Mẹ was feeling worse buried under me, though.\n\n“You remember when you said you were sad that I’d die before you?” It seemed like a possibility for a while. Even Andrea worried about it. “I like this.”\n\n“I like this! It’s all I wanted from you! It’s what I wanted and couldn’t say… like… after you forgot my birthday. I was so mad…”\n\n“…damnit, you almost let me commit suicide on my birthday. Because you were never there.”\n\nI got up and kicked the headstone. It wobbled a little because I got the cheapest one for her. It was so cheap that they didn’t anchor it into the ground. I could have bought the most lavish funeral on Earth and didn’t. Mẹ got a wobbly headstone and a poor man’s coffin, and I didn’t have them line the hole with concrete.

By this time, the masses in Pakistan had grown disillusioned with military rule and the massive developmental schemes that had resulted in large gaps between the rich and the poor. Stephen Cohen, in The Idea of Pakistan, also credits the secession of Bangladesh as one of the causes for the empowerment of conservative elements in what remained of Pakistan. Bhutto, who capitalized on increasing religiosity in the country with fiery speeches and slogans such as \"Islamic socialism,\" struck a chord with the populace, as highlighted by Ali Usman Qasmi in The Ahmadis and the Politics of Religious Exclusion in Pakistan. That year, major riots against the Ahmadiyya community took place, resulting in widespread loss of life and property, and culminating in the second amendment to the Constitution which declared the sect non-Muslim.\n\nAnti-Ahmadi prohibitions were only exacerbated under the military dictator Zia-ul-Haq, who succeeded Bhutto. Ordinance XX was passed in 1984, severely limiting the religious freedom of the Ahmadiyya community. They were prohibited from calling their places of worship a mosque, using the Azan (Muslim call to prayer) in their places of worship, referring to themselves as Muslim, or in any manner whatsoever outraging the religious feelings of Muslims. All these egregious developments were stepping stones towards stripping the community of some of their basic rights. Today, most Ahmadis in Pakistan live in a sense of all-pervasive fear. Their places of worship are destroyed over allegations of blasphemy, they are the victims of targeted violence, they are arrested for propagating the Ahmadiyya Muslim faith, there are movements to boycott Ahmadi-owned products, and their graves are desecrated with impunity. Police officers are oftentimes complicit, and local media fans the flames of bigotry. Public school curricula pander to prejudice and alienate anyone who isn't Muslim.\n\nAnti-Ahmadi sentiment is only increasing, and these values have been exported to other countries, where attacks against members of the Ahmadiyya community continue, including in the United Kingdom and the United States.\n\nThe only way for Pakistan to truly progress as a nation is to work towards the principles of democracy and inclusion that were envisioned by the nation's founders. By continuing to pander to divisive elements, Pakistani society will continue to be bogged down in intolerance and hatred. The state should take steps to repeal Ordinance XX and work towards the separation of religion and state.

The first argument should be the document data, and the second should be a JavaScript object that defines what happens if saving the document is successful. It is important to remember that JavaScript operations that access external information are asynchronous. This means the request is sent to the host (Apache CouchDB), and you must wait for the response to return before operating on the information.\n\nThe first argument to this function is the return value of another function, builddocfromform(). This is used to simplify the construction of the document from form data, whether you are creating a new document or editing an existing one. The code for this is shown in Listing 13.\n\nListing 13. builddocfromform() function\n\nfunction builddocfromform(doc,form) { if (!doc) { doc = new Object; } doc.name = form.find(\"input#name\").val(); doc.phone = form.find(\"input#phone\").val(); doc.email = form.find(\"input#email\").val(); return(doc); }\n\nThe function accepts an existing document object, initializing it to an empty JavaScript object if the document is not defined. Then, it uses the supplied form jQuery object to access each field in the form and populate the document object before returning it. You could add more fields to the function here, provided you also added the field definitions to the form HTML.\n\nThe anonymous function attached to the success field will be called if the document was written to the database successfully. If this occurs, the HTML of the contact form is removed by emptying the contactform div element content, and then the updatecontacts() function will be called, which will update the active list of contacts in the display.\n\nYou can now push the application to your Apache CouchDB instance again and try adding a contact to the system.

The JavaScript function for outputting the form already accepts an existing document, and the form is populated with the Apache CouchDB document ID and existing values from that object.\n\nThe two changes required are first to enable the Edit Contact link output against each contact in the list. Creating this all individually would be a nightmare, but jQuery provides functionality to identify when any link has been clicked by identifying the target DOM object. That information can be used to access the ID of the document, which was embedded into the link, and then to load the record from Apache CouchDB and call the form function. You can see this in Listing 14.\n\nListing 14.

A Democratic proposal to replace the sequester with a more balanced package of cuts and revenue was dead on arrival. And no one seems willing or able to simply cancel the cuts and call the whole thing off. As Adam West once said, some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.\n\nThe consequences of sequestration will almost certainly be dire. In a survey of top economists conducted by The New Republic, most predicted that it would slow our already anemic economic growth, while even the most positive assessment cast it as some sort of punishment that America has had coming for a long time due to our failure to don the hair shirt of austerity along with our European allies. The indiscriminate cuts will take a heavy toll on the poor, women and children in general, domestic violence victims in particular, people who eat food... you get the picture.

First and foremost, he had rules. \"We don't want anyone recording our practice,\" Harbaugh said. \"Nobody will be recording Utah's practice tonight, and a video of us would give them an advantage.\"\n\nEven with 200 students gathered on the north end-zone track and the other half in the stands, fans were being constantly monitored by ushers strategically placed throughout the stadium. Per Harbaugh's orders, cell phones weren't allowed and ushers escorted out students who flashed their phones.\n\nHe also made it clear that he wanted it to be loud. He urged the crowd and band to make as much ruckus as possible, and for about an hour and a half, cheerleaders, marching band members, piped-in crowd noise and music blasted throughout the Big House to emulate the noise expected in 12 days in Salt Lake City, Utah.\n\nDuring stretches, Motown joyfully bounced off of the stadium walls, but as soon as the scrimmage started, the genre quickly changed to KISS and AC/DC.\n\nRegardless of the cell phone ban, news that Iowa transfer Jake Rudock would be quarterbacking the first team managed to leak out quickly. Rudock threw both touchdown passes, one to sophomore wide receiver Drake Harris and the other to junior tight end Jake Butt.\n\nAs expected, Butt was a frequent target and had just as many catches as any receiver. Harbaugh has a reputation for developing tight ends, and if Rudock and Butt continue to mesh as well as they did Saturday under Harbaugh's direction, the pairing will be well known this fall.\n\nThough the quarterback battle has been hot through fall practice and junior Shane Morris said that it's his job to lose, Morris didn't have much of a field presence and couldn't manage to put together long drives.\n\nMorris still has a rocket for an arm, and he overthrew senior wide receiver Jehu Chesson past the end zone and into the crowd. Sophomore quarterback Wilton Speight was the last quarterback to come on the field and connected well with third-team junior wide receiver Jack Wangler for a 10-yard pass.\n\nTo many students' dismay, freshman tight end Tyrone Wheatley Jr. and junior offensive lineman Patrick Kugler were both on crutches, and senior wide receiver Amara Darboh — who recorded 36 receptions for 473 yards and two touchdowns last season — had his left pinkie in a splint. Sophomore wide receiver Freddy Canteen's right arm was also in a sling.\n\nThe injuries allowed freshman wide receiver Grant Perry and sophomore wide receiver Drake Harris to get a lot of attention from Rudock on the first team. Perry took advantage of his situation with multiple catches of his own, and Harris' most notable catch came halfway through the scrimmage on a 15-yard touchdown pass to the north end zone.\n\nThe pair helped prove that the Wolverines may need to use a more pass-oriented attack. Harbaugh previously said that he wants a balanced offense, but the rushing game appeared inconsistent, with junior running backs De'Veon Smith, Ty Isaac and Derrick Green struggling to make an impact.\n\nAs the scrimmage ended, AC/DC faded out and practice came to a close.

Some may be reluctant to even call this a \"data breach,\" yet the end result is largely consistent with previous examples of malicious intent and unintentionally disclosed data.\n\nWe Often Don’t Know Until Years Later\n\nWe simply have no idea of the scale of data that has been breached.

These incidents were frequently of a scale numbering in the millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of customers. In some cases, the organisations involved were aware of a successful attack yet consciously elected not to disclose the incident. Many of the recent large breaches involved companies that were aware of unauthorised access to their systems, yet the scope of the intrusion was not known until years later when large volumes of data appeared in the public domain. In other cases, intrusions were entirely unknown until the organisation's data appeared publicly.\n\nI have been personally involved in the disclosure of multiple incidents of this nature directly to the organisations involved. They are consistently shocked that a breach had taken place and had not seen prior indicators that their data may have fallen into unauthorised hands. The passage of time frequently means that root cause analysis isn't feasible, and indeed many of these systems have been fundamentally rearchitected since the original event.\n\nIt begs the questions: how much more data is out there? And what are we yet to see from events that have already occurred? We simply don't know, nor is there any feasible way of measuring it. The only thing I can say with any certainty is that there is still a significant amount of data out there that we are yet to learn of.\n\nA Perfect Storm of Data Exposure\n\nData breaches have been increasing in regularity, and the incidents themselves have been increasing in terms of the volume of records impacted. There are a variety of factors contributing to what can only be described as a \"perfect storm\" of data exposure:\n\nFirstly, as mentioned above, the rapid emergence of cloud services has enabled organisations and individuals alike to publish data publicly with unprecedented ease, speed, and cost efficiency.

In short, there is a return on investment for those who pay for data breaches, therefore it has created a thriving marketplace.\n\nMore worrying, though, in terms of the spread of data breaches is the prevalence with which they are redistributed amongst individuals. Data breach trading is rampant, and I often liken it to the sharing of baseball cards; two people have assets they would like to exchange, so they make a swap. However, unlike a physical commodity, the trading of data breaches replicates the asset as each party retains their original version, just like making a perfectly reproduced photocopy. Most of those involved in the redistribution of this data are either children or young adults, doing so as a hobby. Often, they will explain it away as a curiosity; they wanted to see if any of their friends (or sometimes, enemies) were involved. Other times, they are experimenting with \"hash cracking,\" the exercise of determining the original passwords when a system stores them as cryptographic hashes. They rarely believe there are any adverse consequences as a result of redistributing the data.\n\nThe exchange of data breaches is enormously prevalent. Sites hosting hundreds or even thousands of separate incidents are easily discoverable on the internet; there is often terabytes of data simply sitting there available for anyone to download. Forums dedicated to the discussion of data breaches frequently post links to new breaches or old data which may have finally surfaced. These are not hidden, dark web sites; these are easily discoverable mainstream websites.\n\nExposed Data is (Often) Immutable and (Usually) Irrevocable\n\nMany of the data classes exposed in breaches are immutable, that is, they cannot be changed. For example, people's names, their birth dates, security questions such as their mother's maiden name, or even the IP address they were using at the time (which can be used to geographically locate them and potentially tie them to other exposed accounts). Other data attributes may be mutable, albeit with a high degree of friction; an email address or a physical address, for example. They may both change over time, but the effort of doing so is high, and it is unlikely to happen merely because that data has been exposed in a breach.\n\nParadoxically, the data that is most easily changed is frequently the data people are most concerned about. Credit cards, for example, are often referenced in disclosure statements as not having been impacted by a breach, yet a combination of fraud protection by banks and the ability to cancel and refund fraudulent transactions whilst issuing a new card means the real-world impact on card holders is frequently limited and short-lived.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10836, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "16f1b7cfa0612e3674f0c9169870950d06fa27f7", "raw_chars": 3339, "clean_chars": 3112, "edit_ratio": 0.41, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Both abnormal morphology and improper function of the oral cavity in newborns with cleft palate create a different environment from that of healthy neonates.

For reasons not yet explained, the true guardians must count on retaining the help and support of the others.\n\nA part of the equation that emerges only later in the Republic is that those who bear arms for the city are younger than the true guardians — too young to have been fully tested. Socrates cannot explain this properly at this point in the dialogue, for it is only later, in Book VII, that we are given the reason why the true guardians will have to be much older men and women. It takes that long to be educated as a philosopher and to show oneself worthy of that education.\n\nThe device is needed, Socrates implies, precisely because the armed cohort otherwise cannot be counted upon to identify their own best interest with that of the city; the myth of the metals is to fortify that identification by appealing to their sense of honor — that same 'spiritedness' which is the outstanding trait of this caste.\n\nAlthough Socrates recommends having the noble lie propagated everywhere in the city, this is chiefly in order to increase the likelihood that it will take hold among the warrior caste. It’s a drastic solution, and it isn’t so clear that Socrates himself thinks it’s likely to work.

However, in this article we make the case that to assess accurately the effects of video-game play, researchers must better characterize video-game experience and expertise. This requires a more precise and objective assessment of an individual's video-game history and skill level, and making finer distinctions between video games that fall under the umbrella of \"action\" games. Failure to consider these factors may partly be responsible for mixed findings (see Boot et al., 2011).\n\nAssessing Video-Game Experience and Expertise\n\nCurrent cross-sectional research investigating video-game play has relied on self-reports in order to distinguish expert video-game players (VGPs) from non-VGPs. Participants who report playing \"action\" video games (e.g., Bialystok, 2006; Dye et al., 2009; Dye and Bavelier, 2010) for multiple hours per week, 6 months to a year prior to testing (e.g., Green and Bavelier, 2003; West et al., 2008; Hubert-Wallander et al., 2011) are classified as expert VGPs. Those who report no video-game play in the same period are classified as non-VGPs. Current criteria, however, fail to appreciate the significant difference between VGPs who have played for 5 hours per week over the past 6 months and those who have played for 20+ hours per week over the past 10 years (whom, in addition, would be classified as non-VGPs if currently abstaining from video-game play).\n\nThe purpose of cross-sectional research is to test the limits to which perceptual and cognitive processes may or may not be impacted by video-game play, while training studies using appropriate controls establish causal relationships between those differences and video-game play (see Boot et al., 2013). Unfortunately, the assumption that recent video-game experience reflects expertise is mistaken. There is no guarantee that VGP participants used in most current research papers possess either the experience or expertise necessary to be classified as expert VGPs. Similarly, there is no guarantee that individuals classified as non-VGPs, in their past, do not possess the relevant experience or expertise that would qualify them as expert VGPs. The misclassification of expert VGPs, non-VGPs or both, may be the basis of null results in the video-game literature (e.g., Murphy and Spencer, 2009; Irons et al., 2011), and other studies that have not been published.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10840, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "176d51ce3e156665b9a42bd1bff7ed89a28d2af3", "raw_chars": 2495, "clean_chars": 2371, "edit_ratio": 0.0395, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Understanding the extent to which video-game play can shape perceptual and cognitive abilities requires testing expert video-game players. Current research, however, mistakenly classifies participants as expert video-game players using only a limited assessment of recent video-game experience, hindering progress in the field.

Proper classification of expertise requires the use of professional attainment, objective performance measures, or both. Once expertise has been correctly assigned, differences in experience between experts and non-experts may highlight factors, or combinations of factors, that promote the development and maintenance of expertise. Perhaps more significantly, it may reveal the keys to shaping perceptual and cognitive processes.\n\nReferences\n\nBoot, W. R., Simons, D. J., Stothart, C., and Stutts, C. (2013).

He averaged 2.8 shots per game, totaling 39 shots, while also accumulating eight penalty minutes and a plus-2 rating. Additionally, he scored two goals in the team’s single preseason exhibition game earlier in the season.\n\nThe preliminary roster also featured top 2015 NHL Entry Draft prospect Jack Eichel and several players from Minnesota.

This group included forwards Eichel, Dylan Larkin from the University of Michigan, Auston Matthews from the U.S. National Under-18 Team, Sonny Milano from the Plymouth Whalers, and Alex Tuch from Boston College.

The answer is clearly no. This raises the question of what purpose these restrictions serve beyond providing a sense of satisfaction to their advocates.\n\nA false sense of security is worse than no sense of security at all. Mass shooters have typically obtained their firearms legally, having no disqualifying factors in their records; used guns legally obtained by someone else; or acquired them despite existing laws. Consequently, the controls most commonly advocated would not have prevented those massacres. In the most recent incident, the shooter had a disqualifier—a less-than-honorable discharge from the Air Force following a year in the brig for domestic abuse—but the Air Force failed to report this to the FBI. As a result, the information never entered the database checked when the shooter purchased guns from licensed dealers. Even expanded background checks would not have prevented the shooting, as the Air Force was already required to report the shooter’s conviction to the FBI. Furthermore, a ban on rifles with certain features, often misleadingly termed \"assault weapons,\" would not have stopped the shooting, as equally powerful rifles would still have been available.\n\nThus, the victims of the latest shooting, like those of previous mass shootings, would not have been any safer under the proposed gun-control regime than they were at the time of their murders.\n\nHowever, this is not the end of the story. Even if those shooters had been unable to obtain their guns through the methods they used, it does not follow that they would have been prevented from committing their crimes. How many times must it be pointed out that someone intent on murder is unlikely to be deterred by legal restrictions on firearm purchases? Gun-control advocates often imply that legal channels are the only way to obtain firearms, but this is not true. People have always been able to acquire guns through illegal means. Gun-running, including firearms smuggling and trafficking, is likely as old as the earliest gun restrictions. Guns can be stolen and sold, and with an estimated 300 million in circulation, the opportunities are vast. They can also be manufactured in garages and will eventually be routinely produced using 3D printers. Supply responds to demand, and black markets thrive whenever products are prohibited.\n\nBut the black market is, by definition, already illegal. So what are gun-control advocates to do? Make the black market doubly illegal? That does not seem like a viable solution.\n\nEven more drastic forms of control would not change this outcome. The Australian model, a tax-financed eminent-domain approach in which the government ordered citizens to sell their guns back to the state, failed to remove all firearms from society. As Varad Mehta writes, \"That policy … removed up to one million weapons from Australians' hands and homes.\" Depending on the estimate, this represented a fifth to a third of Australia's gun stock.

Such plasmas can closely approximate those that occur in some astrophysical objects.\n\nThe awards consist of 35 million hours from the INCITE (Innovative and Novel Impact on Computational Theory and Experiment) program and 45 million hours from the ALCC (ASCR Advanced Scientific Computing Research Leadership Computing Challenge). Both projects will be carried out on the Titan Cray XK7 supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This work is supported by the DOE Office of Science.\n\nThe combined research will shed light on large-scale magnetic behavior in space and will help design three days of experiments in 2016 and 2017 on the world's most powerful high-intensity lasers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. \"This will enable us to do experiments in a regime not yet accessible with any other laboratory plasma device,\" Bhattacharjee said.\n\nThe supercomputer modeling, which is already under way, will investigate several puzzles. First, it will address magnetic field formation by studying \"Weibel instabilities,\" the process by which non-magnetic plasmas merge in space to produce magnetic fields. Understanding this phenomenon, which takes place throughout the universe but has proven difficult to observe, can provide insight into the creation of magnetic fields in stars and galaxies.\n\nSecond, the research will tackle magnetic field growth, exploring how small-scale fields can evolve into large ones. The team will model a process called the \"Biermann battery,\" which amplifies small fields through an unknown mechanism, and will attempt to decipher it.\n\nThird, the simulations will study explosive magnetic reconnection, specifically a process called \"plasmoid instabilities\" that has been widely theorized. These instabilities are believed to play an important role in producing super high-energy plasma particles when magnetic field lines that have separated violently reconnect.\n\nThe NIF experiments will test these models and build upon the team's work at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester. Researchers there have used high-intensity lasers at the university's OMEGA EP facility to produce high-energy density plasmas and their magnetic fields. At NIF, the lasers will have 100 times the power of the Rochester facility and will produce plasmas that more closely match those that occur in space.

I should think The Nation will also honor Paul’s arguments against assassination-by-drone.\n\nOn the right, the Rand Paul surge is further evidence of the purge of the neoconservatives. Rush Limbaugh has been all-but endorsing Paul as a corrective to the neocons and their Senate amigos, Lindsey Graham and John McCain.

There is a fear among McCain, Lindsey Graham, and others who favor an interventionist foreign policy. Think of the neocons. Think of going into Iraq and not just securing Iraq, but building a democracy. Nation building, if you will. Think of the outbreak of the Arab Spring and the people on our side who thought, “Wow, this is wonderful. This is the outbreak of American democracy,” when it wasn’t. It was the exact opposite. Rand Paul, they’re asking themselves, is he his father’s son or is he on his own here? They’re worried that he’s his father’s son. They’re worried that Rand Paul is an isolationist. They’re worried that Rand Paul’s diatribe on drones really means that Rand Paul wants to bring the military home and not use it unless we’re attacked. He doesn’t like it being used in an intervention. This is what they fear. And as he succeeds in making a connection with the American people, they are worried, the neocons are worried that they are being undermined by this.\n\nI’ll tell you why. Rand Paul made a connection with the American people. These other people do not. He made a connection. Therefore, he has the ability to influence and motivate people. I’m telling you what their fears are. They thought that Ron Paul was absolute nutcase, wacko. That’s why they’re calling Rand Paul a wacko, ’cause that’s what they thought of Ron Paul. Libertarian, fruitcake, nutcase, isolationist, shut down the US military, speak positively about Islamists, all this kind of stuff.

Williams didn't give up on the play, somehow managing to wrap up Hill's legs while the running back was on the ground, just as teammate Marcell Dareus, who is 6-foot-3 and 331 pounds, swallowed the runner for a huge stop.\n\nWilliams is a player highly respected around the league both on and off the field. The 33-year-old is the team's nominee for the NFL's Art Rooney Award, which is presented to the player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.\n\nThe veteran is playing under his fourth head coach and sixth defensive coordinator since being selected in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL Draft.

Buffalo was in an odd front, with Williams at defensive end.\n\nAt the snap, he fired upfield and put Whitworth in a precarious position, so the tackle used a 'turn out'. This technique is often used by a lineman who is past the point of attack, which is the case on this inside zone.\n\nUsing a 'turn out' technique is especially effective when an offensive lineman is matched up with a penetrating defender like Williams. If he shoots upfield, they are then easily 'turned out'.\n\nWilliams did just that, but he used his low center of gravity and lower body strength so well that he was able to recover.\n\nAs Hill cut inside, Williams worked through the hold by Whitworth and managed to bring down Hill.\n\nWilliams is an ageless wonder and possesses all of the traits you look for in a defensive tackle.\n\nHis quickness and burst off the snap are simply ridiculous. Williams got his hands into the pads of Cincinnati's offensive lineman before the ball was even halfway to the quarterback.\n\nWilliams' technique is flawless. He initiates contact, gets his hand inside so he can control the lineman while simultaneously keeping his eyes on the running back.\n\nBoling then worked to get his left hand inside of Williams, but the wily veteran immediately countered, bringing his right hand over the top and swiping it away as he closed in on the back.\n\nHill spun out of traffic but ran right into Alexander and safety Corey Graham. Williams didn't receive credit on the stat sheet for the play, but it's clear that he was the reason this play was shut down.\n\nQuickness, power, leverage, hand placement, and hand fighting are all present. Just watch his hands. This guy is ridiculous.\n\nAccording to Pro Football Focus, Williams was the Bills' highest-graded defender against the run on Sunday, and when watching the following play, it's clear to see why. He is nothing short of incredible.\n\nOnce again, the Bengals tried to run inside zone to Williams' side.\n\nKnowing that Williams had been dominating linemen off the snap, Boling fired out of his stance quicker in an attempt to reach block Williams.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10881, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "52aefb37aca01dabb14a5a795bc0b1bce825fcea", "raw_chars": 3179, "clean_chars": 2018, "edit_ratio": 0.8626, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Michelle Carter, now 19, asked a judge on Friday to exclude statements she made to police from her involuntary manslaughter trial.

One note, written in pink biro, read: \"I hate you for what you have done to me. I feel like no one.\" He believes the emotional strain of this torment contributed to her physical decline. Holly had only just started Year 8 at Maesteg Comprehensive School near Bridgend in South Wales when she began complaining at home of chest pains and difficulty breathing. Her family called an ambulance, but moments later, she stopped breathing and could not be revived.\n\nMr. Stuckey, who works as a carer for the elderly and is trained in first aid, described the tragedy as the worst thing any parents could endure. \"She died in my arms,\" he said. \"It wasn't until afterwards that we discovered the torment she’d been going through. Bullies had been putting her through hell.\"\n\nAlthough Holly suffered from asthma, her condition was thought to be under control. An initial post-mortem examination was inconclusive, and while an inquest has been opened, her parents have been told it could take up to three months to determine the exact cause of death. Mr. Stuckey suggested that the emotional strain may have triggered a heart attack. \"We just don't know, but it could have been the emotional strain of what she was going through which brought on a heart attack,\" he explained.\n\nIn the wake of the tragedy, Mr. Stuckey has provided police with the names of 13 children he believes were involved in tormenting his daughter. He has also been contacted by other parents who reported their children being bullied, prompting him to urge other parents to stand up for their kids. \"I want other parents to stand up for their children.

When you add the fact that Acura’s RLX Sport Hybrid is a hybrid, I immediately find the prospect dull and mostly boring. I don’t have anything against large sedans; they serve a real market and are comfortable for day-to-day driving. However, if it were up to me, happiness would be found in a small sports car or a large SUV. If I were spending my own money on a large, boring sedan, I would just as soon buy a large, boring SUV. That is my rationale going into this review of the RLX.\n\nIf you haven’t heard of the RLX, you are probably not alone. This is not a car that Acura sells in large numbers, but it serves as their flagship sedan, replacing the original RL back in 2013. Our review car is the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, a designation that becomes more important later on, as it represents the top-of-the-line model.\n\nLooking at the exterior, the RLX has all the right lines and details to identify it as an Acura, yet it closely resembles the proportions of a Lexus LS, although it competes more directly with the smaller GS. The hood is long, and the body lines carry that length in straight lines back to the trunk, making the car appear both very big and very long. Up front, you get the now-recognizable Acura grille and stunning \"Jewel Eye\" LED headlights. It is a very appealing design that definitely gives an aura of luxury and class.\n\nWhen speaking of luxury and class, the interior is right on par with the exterior and is full of enough technology to excite any tech enthusiast. The Acura brand targets a more tech-minded, younger audience looking to move into a more luxurious vehicle. While you may not be able to tell from the exterior styling—sans the jeweled headlights—the interior conveys that message very well. It all starts with how you turn on and off the vehicle and put it into gear. You get a push-button start standard on all trims, and the gear shifter is fully electronic, requiring you to push or pull buttons like you are preparing for a rocket launch.\n\nThe gauges are pretty standard, but you do get a large LCD display between them, allowing you to scroll through different menus and information about the vehicle. You also get a heads-up display which can be configured to show things like your current speed or how the RLX is putting power to the ground and utilizing the hybrid system. There is a plethora of steering wheel controls that allow you to configure the LCD, interface with the infotainment system, or set features like lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control.\n\nMoving over to the center dash, you get a two-tiered screen setup. The upper screen, pushed back, displays information like the navigation system and hybrid driving monitor. Below that is a multi-use touchscreen that can be used for tuning the radio, setting the climate, entering navigation information, and much more. While I like the idea of this two-tiered setup, it can be a bit confusing.

Nothing ever came of the incident, and even top Republicans began mocking the notion of Obama protecting the New Black Panthers, yet Fox News continues to revive the story.\n\nAppearing on Monday, Adams continued pushing that narrative, telling the hosts of \"Fox & Friends\" that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) had teamed up with the New Black Panthers to lobby for civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Adams added that he was certain the Zimmerman murder trial would not have taken place if it were not for the little-known, fringe political group.\n\n\"I have a piece at Breitbart today that shows how the New Black Panthers were the spark behind the whole Zimmerman investigation,\" he insisted. Fox News host Steve Doocy seemed riveted by the claim and pressed for more information. \"Mr. Adams, why does it seem the Department of Justice is taking their marching orders from the New Black Panther Party?\" Doocy asked.\n\nAdams responded that this was part of a radical, racial agenda that Attorney General Eric Holder had implemented since taking office. He cited the 2008 video of a black activist standing in a public place and the attorney general's attempts to enforce provisions of the Voting Rights Act against historically racist jurisdictions.\n\n\"This is just one, a couple of, many, many examples of this radical racialism that this Justice Department has pursued,\" Adams said. \"I think the FBI will tell the lawyers that, no, there's no evidence of racial intent. I think the criminal section of the civil rights division will be reluctant to pursue charges.\"\n\n\"The big question is, will Eric Holder overrule them as he has in other instances because of a political agenda, a racial agenda?\" he continued. \"Will he listen to the Black Panthers?

However, I think that is a risky line if my opponent has Shardless Agent into something relevant on their following turn. If I proceed this way, I will put myself significantly behind on the board.\n\nSo what about Force? There is no way I am pitching Brainstorm or Stifle, so the question becomes whether to keep both copies of Daze or one Daze and a Counterspell. As I mentioned earlier, I think it is very unlikely I will use Counterspell anytime soon. Given the presence of both Stifle and Wasteland, I prefer keeping double Daze.\n\nI believe the correct play is to put back both creatures, force a pitch of Counterspell, untap, play Wasteland, and hold up Stifle. (For those interested, this is indeed the line I took, and it won me the game.)\n\nIn game two against the same opponent, I am on the draw again, and my opponent has taken a mulligan. I see two possible plays here.\n\nThe first option is to play Delver with Daze backup, hoping to reach Winter Orb mana as quickly as possible and then win from there. My issue with this line is that Delver is my only creature, and I do not want to expose it to Abrupt Decay or any other removal so readily.\n\nThe second option is to play Wasteland. Many players argue that you should use Wasteland when you are ahead to maximize value, and I certainly appreciate value. However, if an opponent mulligans and then plays into Wasteland without doing anything, I consider that an open invitation. This can of course be a bluff, but I think the downside is minimal in this matchup, while the upside is huge—they might simply not get to play Magic. (For those keeping track, this did not work out initially, but I drew into another Wasteland and two copies of Stifle, eventually winning a long game off Nimble Mongoose.)\n\nThis time, I am actually up against Grixis Delver. I won the first game in unexciting fashion because my opponent did not do anything.\n\nOnce again, there are three options: Ponder, Nimble Mongoose, or Pyroblast. If my opponent has Stifle and I fetch, that is as close to losing as I can get on turn one. If I can make my opponent hold up Stifle, however, I get to play another land and then start defending my lands with Pyroblast.\n\nThis one is very basic, but basics are important.\n\n(I won this game numerous turns later, largely due to conserving my lands to cast True-Name Nemesis in the late game. My opponent did have Stifle.)\n\nThis is game one against what could be either Team America or Shardless. This is not necessarily a decision, but a sweet play that you have to see. Given that my opponent wants to protect their Tarmogoyf, I think it is fairly likely that they are otherwise low on answers to my Nimble Mongoose. Therefore, I can use my Wasteland to force them to fetch and then Daze their Force with the fetchland activation on the stack. This way, I trade two-for-two with the Force while getting rid of their Goyf.\n\n(They kept drawing Tarmogoyfs, I kept drawing Mongooses, and I lost.)\n\nGame two of my match against Team America.\n\nI could easily let Clique resolve, kill one creature, and then try to block the other. If I let Clique resolve, it is most likely that my opponent takes my Lightning Bolt here. I could then Dismember Clique, play my own Delver, and hope to win from there.

There is no truth to the charges I benefited from the drug trade, that I received money and that I coddled drug convicts. The truth will come out at the right time. They will not be able to silence me and stop me from fighting for the truth and justice and against the daily killings and repression by the Duterte regime.\"\n\nDe Lima had previously branded Duterte a \"sociopathic serial killer\" on Tuesday, calling for ordinary Filipinos to stand up in opposition to his drug war, which has seen more than 6,500 people killed since he took office eight months ago. This arrest was the peak of a decade-long campaign by De Lima, a former human rights commissioner and justice secretary, to expose Duterte as the leader of death squads during his time as mayor of southern Davao city and later as president.\n\nDuterte first raised allegations in August that De Lima had been running a drug trafficking ring with criminals inside the nation's biggest prison when she was the justice secretary in the previous government. \"I will have to destroy her in public,\" Duterte said then as he began a campaign to tarnish her reputation, including by making unsubstantiated allegations about her sex life. \"De Lima is not only screwing her driver, she is also screwing the nation.\"\n\nDe Lima was last week charged with three counts of drug trafficking, and an arrest warrant was issued on Thursday afternoon. This triggered a night of high drama as she initially avoided police by seeking refuge at the Senate. She slept in her office overnight, then gave herself up to armed police in flak jackets.\n\nDe Lima and her supporters insist that Duterte orchestrated the charges to crush her opposition as well as intimidate anyone else who may want to speak out against him or his drug war. \"People are afraid,\" Father Robert Reyes, an activist priest who spent the night at the Senate with De Lima and other supporters, told AFP after her arrest. \"If the government can arrest a powerful person like her, what more the little man? That is the implied message of her arrest.\"\n\nAmnesty International said Thursday that it would regard De Lima as a prisoner of conscience. \"The arrest of De Lima is a blatant attempt by the Philippine government to silence criticism of President Duterte and divert attention away from serious human rights violations in the 'war on drugs,'\" it said.\n\nHowever, Duterte's aides argued that De Lima's arrest showed even the most powerful people would be brought to justice if they broke the law.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10927, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "488f717027d8ece66a750029f133f9f7a86b6ac3", "raw_chars": 1965, "clean_chars": 1895, "edit_ratio": 0.1896, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Steve Biko once wrote, \"I write what I like.\" As the founder of South Africa's Black Consciousness Movement and one of the students who launched the South African Students' Organisation (SASO), Biko belonged to a generation that resisted apartheid in any manner possible.\n\nBiko was detained and interrogated several times by the apartheid police.

In 2008, when Putin was still Prime Minister, Russia and Georgia entered a five-day conflict that culminated in Russian bombs falling on the Georgian capital. Humanitarian groups around the world cried out, governments issued strict warnings for Russia to fall back, and nobody lifted an actual finger to stop it. At the end of it all, Russia calmly strolled back home and declared that Georgia had been \"sufficiently punished.\" Each time this happens, Russia becomes more assured that the warnings of the rest of the world are just that—words, empty and hollow.\n\nThe situation in Ukraine may not be a match that's going to ignite the fires of World War III, but it's a nod to a superpower that they have a free license to do what they want.

As is the case with most important things, World War II didn't suddenly flash into existence; it edged its way into the world consciousness one little bit at a time, like a slowly rusting bicycle, until war was officially declared. While it's easy to put the conflict into the simplest terms, a lot of factors combined to make up what we now view as one war.\n\nThe years leading up to the war held a lot of indicators that, in hindsight, revealed aggressive countries testing the waters of what they could get away with. Japan, Italy, and Germany were all involved in minor conflicts that the League of Nations couldn't stop, such as Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and Japan's chemical-infused invasion of China in 1937.\n\nThese days, China is reversing the balance by threatening an invasion of its own. The territory in question is a group of rocks known as the Senkaku islands, which are located in the East China Sea. The problem, of course, is that both China and Japan feel that the islands belong to them, and whoever controls the islands also controls shipping lanes, fishing waters, and a potential oil field.\n\nA Third Sino-Japanese War In The Making\n\nChina hasn't been the nicest neighbor recently.

Researchers found that couples—both men and women—spurned watching pornographic movies in favor of romantic ones, and preferred kissing during sex and whispering sweet nothings to BDSM and rough sex.\n\n“We imagined that large proportions of Americans have engaged in a range of sexual exploration, and indeed they have,” study coauthor Debby Herbenick of Indiana University told Fatherly. Despite engaging in sexual exploration, however, it seems the vintage moves (and Marvin Gaye songs) never go out of style.\n\nAlthough Alfred Kinsey first published an investigation into sexual diversity in 1948, sexual behaviors were (and are) taboo, and getting people to fill out surveys about their sexual habits is never easy. The first nationally representative survey of U.S. sexual behavior was conducted by The National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) in 1991, which was a good start but full of limitations. The National Surveys of Sexual Health and Behavior (NSSHB), published in 2010, filled some of those gaps. But as whole, the American study of sex remained woefully vanilla compared to international studies, such as the 2014 Australian Survey of Health and Relationships, which dared to ask respondents whether they enjoyed fisting, rimming, and group sex.\n\nBut then 50 Shades of Grey happened, and BDSM became the sort of thing you could read about in public without raising too many eyebrows. This made Herbenick and her colleagues wonder if Americans were more sexually adventurous than prior surveys had suggested. So they set out to update the literature.\n\nThey administered a cross-sectional, internet-based, nationally-representative survey to 2,021 adults (975 men, 1,046 women) about half of whom were married. Respondents rated more than 50 sexual behaviors as “very appealing”, “somewhat appealing”, “not appealing”, or “not at all appealing”. Then they were asked about their sexual behaviors in the past month, versus their sexual behaviors in their lifetime. Results reveal that 86.4 percent of people (86.0 percent men, 86.8 percent women) found kissing during sex either very or somewhat appealing; 81.9 percent said saying sweet and romantic things during sex was very or somewhat appealing (79.4 percent men, 82.3 percent women); 81.7 percent of respondents (87.8 percent men, 86.5 percent women) enjoyed gentle sex; 87.8 percent (86.2 percent men, 89.2 percent women) want to cuddle more, and 79.3 percent (78.7 percent men, 79.9 percent women) said the same for giving and receiving massages before sex.\n\nLikewise, setting the mood of the bedroom was considered “very or somewhat appealing” by 77.1 percent of people (75 percent men, 80 percent women), and many preferred to ditch the bedroom altogether—79.9 percent (82.9 percent men, 77.2 percent women) said they preferred hotel sex while 77.4 percent (79.7 percent men, 75.4 percent women) said they liked getting it on in other parts of the house.

It was required to provide warnings on all tropical cyclones between the Malay Peninsula and the International Date Line for U.S. government agencies. The center also had to determine reconnaissance requirements, prepare annual typhoon summaries, and conduct research into tropical cyclone forecasting and detection. In November 1962, Typhoon Karen destroyed the building housing the Fleet Weather Center/Joint Typhoon Warning Center, prompting its relocation to a more typhoon-proof building in 1965. Between 1971 and 1976, the Commander in Chief, Pacific (CINCPAC) gradually expanded the JTWC's area of responsibility to include the area between the International Date Line and the African coasts. In October 1978, the Fleet Weather Center/JTWC became the Navy Oceanographic Command Center/Joint Typhoon Warning Center, taking responsibility for the whole oceanic environment, from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the atmosphere. The JTWC subsequently started issuing warnings for the Southern Hemisphere between the African coast and the International Date Line in October 1980. It was relocated to Pearl Harbor on January 1, 1999, due to the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission round. In October 2011, the JTWC's name changed from the \"Naval Maritime Forecast Center/Joint Typhoon Warning Center\" to simply the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, as it became a stand-alone command for the first time in its 52-year history.\n\nA more modernized method for forecasting tropical cyclones had become apparent by the 1980s. Prior to the development of the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) system, the tools used by the Department of Defense to forecast tropical cyclone tracks were acetate sheets, grease pencils, and disparate computer programs. The ATCF software was developed by the Naval Research Laboratory for the JTWC beginning in 1986 and has been used since 1988. It was adapted for use at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in 1990.\n\nThe JTWC adheres to the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) rules for storm names and follows acknowledged guidelines for the intensity of tropical cyclones and tropical storms. However, it uses the U.S. standard of measuring sustained winds over a 1-minute span instead of the 10-minute span recommended by the WMO, as seen in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The JTWC is not one of the WMO-designated Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers, nor one of its Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers, as its main mission is to support U.S. government agencies. The center monitors, analyzes, and forecasts tropical cyclone formation, development, and movement year-round. Its area of responsibility covers 89% of the world's tropical cyclone activity.\n\nThe center is manned by about 37 U.S. Air Force and Navy personnel.

While the good guys are certainly compelling, executive producer Dave Filoni notes that \"people are just glad the Empire's back.\"\n\nAs depicted in Lucas's final prequel, 2005's \"Revenge of the Sith,\" the Empire rose to power and underwent a decade of military expansion. For many, the public perception is that the Empire is a good thing that brings stability and safety. However, during the events of \"Rebels,\" the Emperor is secretly building his first Death Star while consolidating power. The Outer Rim of the galaxy is oppressed by Imperial forces, and Vader and his minions are tasked with wiping out any remaining Jedi.\n\nAs part of a new generation of \"Star Wars\" projects, \"Rebels\" will tie in with future stories, including the next year's Episode VII movie, yet it also reflects the franchise's past. It shares many aspects of the first \"Star Wars\" trilogy, from TIE fighters and Star Destroyers to Stormtroopers who can't shoot straight. The introduction of the Jedi-hunting Inquisitor, voiced by Jason Isaacs, showcases a ruthless throwback to the calm villainy of Vader. Filoni sees the analytical new antagonist, who brandishes a spinning, double-bladed lightsaber, as an \"evil version of Sherlock Holmes.\"\n\nWhat makes the Inquisitor really creepy and disturbing for Isaacs is that \"everybody he encounters is so far beneath his skill level that it doesn't tax him,\" the actor says. \"I wanted him to enjoy the chase and enjoy the hunt. He's not in a panic, nothing's about to blow up. He can take on any number of adversaries and still have time to read the newspaper and get his nails done.\"\n\nThe Empire from the movies offered high-ranking Imperial officers and lowly Stormtroopers as cannon fodder, but not much middle management. That is where \"Rebels\" introduces Agent Kallus, voiced by David Oyelowo, an enforcer in the Imperial Security Bureau who revels in squashing seeds of rebellion. Kallus may not command starships, but Oyelowo respects his ambition. \"He's muscle on the ground,\" the actor says, \"but you can just tell, with every line, with every action he makes, he has his sights set higher.\"\n\nFlanked by Stormtroopers, Agent Kallus is a high-ranking official of the Imperial Security Bureau. He is also noted for his awesome sideburns and a penchant for fisticuffs. \"I've had to do quite a bit of grunting and groaning from a voice-work point of view,\" Oyelowo says with a laugh.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10982, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "27b340badee71709889d7ec67e2db0324da94e54", "raw_chars": 3476, "clean_chars": 3501, "edit_ratio": 0.0578, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "New research on the subject emphasizes the importance of safety, particularly in influencing a woman's decision to ride a bicycle. Writing in the International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, a study group led by Gulsah Akar of Ohio State University concluded that women are less likely to feel safe on a bike than men, especially in areas with heavy car traffic.\n\nIn other words, American cities are doing something wrong. Just what that something is has been the subject of debate before at Cities. Genevieve Walker has argued that making bike stores friendlier to women would be a good step toward reducing the gender gap. Alex Baca, writing in response, concluded that the task requires stronger infrastructure, convenience, and community—in short, a stronger biking environment.\n\nIt is no secret that American women are less likely than American men to ride bikes in cities. Some reports put one woman on a bike for every two men in the United States, and some have the ratio at one woman for every three men. This is not a universal condition by any stretch of the imagination; in European countries like Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, the split is right around fifty-fifty.\n\nAkar and her colleagues surveyed commute behavior on campus in a sample of about 2,000 people, ranging from faculty to undergraduates. While a convenient study location, the campus also had some natural advantages. First, college-aged women do not have the same household responsibilities that keep many older women from riding. Second, Columbus, Ohio, is a car-friendly place that has only recently implemented bike-friendly measures, which makes it reflective of many American cities.\n\nMost off-campus residents commuted to the school by car—73 percent for the whole group—with women more likely to drive than men (78 percent compared to 65 percent). Not quite 8 percent of all study participants said the bike was their primary commute mode, but the gender split for that response favored men, 13 percent to 6 percent. Distance from campus obviously had a lot to do with a person's decision to ride, too, with people most likely to ride (17 percent mode share) when they lived 1 to 5 miles away.\n\nThe big question, of course, was what kept more women from biking. Men and women gave several of the same reasons for not riding, including distance from campus and the need to carry things, but the biggest disparity was a safety concern regarding nearby car traffic. While 43 percent of women cited that concern as a reason they did not ride, only 28 percent of men said the same.\n\nA related concern—lack of bike lanes—also showed a pretty big gender gap, with 37 percent of women citing the reason, compared to 30 percent of men. (Respondents could choose more than one reason.) When the researchers analyzed the figures in closer detail, they found that being within half a mile of a bike trail or path was significantly associated with riding for women, but not for men.\n\nThe researchers offer some clear recommendations based on their findings: campuses, and more broadly cities, can make riding more appealing to women by adding off-road bike paths or improving bike lanes on general roads. What is encouraging about this finding is that enhanced bike infrastructure, whether bike paths or dedicated bike lanes, is something cities must do to promote bike riding in general. Knowing these upgrades will have a double effect of encouraging women to ride should only make these policies more popular.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 10987, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "cf50df06cc6b766da50ecc2483ed895ba4d546d5", "raw_chars": 3179, "clean_chars": 3167, "edit_ratio": 0.318, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A plated counterfeit coin of the Roman emperor Domitian (81-96 AD) demonstrates an early form of counterfeiting. By using a copper core covered in a silver coating, the coin has a much lower intrinsic value, while its face value remains the same.\n\nCounterfeiting valuable antique coins is common, and modern high-value coins are also counterfeited and circulated. Counterfeit antique coins are generally made to a very high standard so that they can deceive experts; this is not easy, and many coins still stand out.\n\nCounterfeits of higher-value coins in circulation, designed for general circulation at face value, have been made by criminals for thousands of years.\n\nA real British pound coin of the old type, placed on top of a fake, illustrates a coin that was often counterfeited. Defective milling and letters on a counterfeit coin are common indicators of forgery.\n\nFor modern coins in general circulation, the most common method of protection from forgeries is the use of bi-metallic coins made of two metals of different colors, which are difficult to counterfeit at low cost. The most common way of forging these coins is to change the area that should be a different color by painting it; however, the paint is often easy to scratch off, and the coins soon look very crude once worn. An increasing number of coins are cast from the same composition alloy as the real coin, but have poor reproduction of details such as the milling on the side of the coin and the stamped lettering.\n\nWhen the euro was introduced into Europe, there were initially very few counterfeits; however, the number increased massively over time. The high and increasing number of fake euro coins in circulation in 2004 led to the creation of a Technical and Scientific Center for the coordination of technical actions to protect euro coins against counterfeiting. Between 2002 and 2006, approximately 400,000 counterfeit euro coins were removed from circulation; however, \"the overall number is very small by historical standards and by comparison to the 69 billion circulating (genuine) euro coins.\"\n\nIn 2014, it was estimated that 3.04% of all UK £1 coins in circulation were counterfeit. These coins were replaced on 15 October 2017 with new, harder-to-counterfeit, 12-sided bi-metallic coins.\n\nA well-known and popular numismatic item is the 1944 nickel counterfeited by Francis LeRoy Henning. Unlike official specimens, this spurious item is missing a large mintmark for the Philadelphia Mint. Because of a different wartime composition, all nickels of this period had large mintmarks. Normally, the Philadelphia mint would not have included one, but in 1944, all of its nickels had a \"P\" above the dome of Monticello. It is estimated that 100,000 of these coins were placed into circulation.

His attorney, Peter Ginsberg, stated that both he and Pierre are disappointed with the decision and are considering their next steps, which may include appealing the ruling or continuing with their lawsuit against the university.\n\nThe University of Dayton declined to comment on the latest ruling. Previously, the university argued that Pierre did not suffer irreparable harm and that there was no justification for shortening his suspension. Pierre's lawsuit highlighted that prosecutors in Montgomery County, Ohio, declined to file criminal charges against the 6-foot-6 senior from Toronto. Pierre has maintained that the allegation arose from a consensual sexual encounter and described the university's investigation as \"fundamentally unfair,\" citing a \"wholly irrational, unsubstantiated\" conclusion reached after a hearing that he claimed failed to accommodate his learning disability.\n\n\"In circumstances of this seriousness, the university owed a duty to do more than the bare minimum,\" Ginsberg said. \"It should have been fair and thorough and professional, and Dayton has been none of those things.\"\n\nPierre's suspension officially ends on December 20, but it remains uncertain whether he will be eligible to play for the Flyers this season. In October, U.S. District Judge Thomas Rose denied a temporary restraining order that sought to halt the university's enforcement of the suspension. Judge Rose ruled that the public interest is best served by allowing universities to uphold their disciplinary rules and procedures to maintain a harassment-free educational environment. In his ruling, Rose noted that the school's hearing board found Pierre \"unable to demonstrate that he received any words or actions that indicated he had effective consent for sexual intercourse or sexual contact.\"\n\nGinsberg argued during the proceedings that the disciplinary board lacked the necessary training to properly interpret medical and law enforcement aspects of the case.

Bradbury explained that he and his daughter had decided to have a picnic instead of swimming when they saw a rescue boat and a quad bike racing along the beach toward Maori Bay.\n\nAccording to Bradbury, a police car parked next to him, and within three minutes, an officer was in the rescue boat shooting at the shark to release Mr. Strange's body. \"You could see it clearly, even though it was a fair way offshore.

He noted that the officer fired in three rapid bursts, adding, \"I've never heard anything like that before.\"\n\nIt took approximately 30 minutes to recover the body, with witnesses claiming the shark refused to let go until police shot at it. Police stated that it was possible up to three sharks had been feeding on fish and birds in the water, and Mr. Strange swam directly into their path.\n\nTim Jago, chairman of the Muriwai Volunteer Lifeguard Service, described Mr. Strange as \"a good water man\" and noted that he was well known to the lifeguards who attempted to save him. Jago told the media that the lifeguards were traumatized by the event and were being offered support and counseling. He confirmed that the shark believed to be responsible for the attack was a four-meter great white.\n\nMr. Strange was a television commercial director who had worked on several projects around the the world.

But I don't know why he doesn't release his records.\"\n\nOne might assume that after Obama provided his birth certificate, Trump moved on. However, it is difficult to convince conspiracy theorists that they are wrong with evidence, as they often invent new reasons to disbelieve any information they reject. This was particularly true given that the individual in question was Donald Trump.\n\nContrary to his campaign's later claim that Trump had brought \"closure to the issue\" in 2011, Trump continued to spread misinformation about the birth certificate for years, generating new baseless reasons to doubt the document Obama had released. In May 2012, he tweeted, \"Let's take a closer look at that birth certificate. @BarackObama was described in 2003 as being 'born in Kenya.'\" In August 2012, he claimed, \"An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.\" Later that month, he urged Republicans to stop apologizing for the \"birther\" issue and instead \"take the offensive.\" In September 2012, he shared an article titled \"Israeli Science: Obama Birth Certificate is a Fake.\" In December 2013, he tweeted about the death of the State Health Director who had verified copies of Obama's birth certificate, suggesting a suspicious coincidence. By September 2014, he was calling on hackers to check Obama's college records for his \"place of birth.\"\n\nDespite these continued efforts, Trump's campaign later asserted that the issue was resolved. Yet Trump has repeatedly blamed Hillary Clinton for starting the birther movement. In September 2015, he tweeted, \"Just remember, the birther movement was started by Hillary Clinton in 2008. She was all in!\"\n\nThere is no evidence that Hillary Clinton or her 2008 campaign had any involvement with the birther theory. Nonpartisan fact-checkers, including PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, CNN, and The Washington Post, have repeatedly debunked this claim.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11012, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "01c2df44de45af4a8daf8f34c4d22659ea9ef409", "raw_chars": 3237, "clean_chars": 3162, "edit_ratio": 0.2486, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Sometimes when news breaks, it serves as a precursor to something much larger. Just before the New Year, Willamette Week's Nigel Jaquiss reported that the Portland Timbers had approached the Multnomah Athletic Club and the City of Portland about expanding the south side of Providence Park. This expansion would increase the stadium's seating capacity by an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 seats, potentially by the 2018 season. Although, as Jamie Goldberg of The Oregonian noted, the Timbers remain in the design phase for the south end expansion, the additional seating could make Providence Park a more attractive option for hosting international competitions.\n\nThis is certainly good news, as the south-end expansion would likely enclose the south side of the park and bring a material increase in seating capacity. However, what was revealed from a Twitter conversation involving Timbers owner Merritt Paulson, which spun off from Jaquiss's report, may in the long term prove to be much more significant.\n\nHere is what we know today that we did not previously: The Timbers have investigated a significant expansion of the east side of Providence Park, concluded that it is architecturally feasible, and determined that any such expansion would take the form of an upper deck added on top of the current east-side stand.\n\nIn the end, it seems likely that such an expansion of the east side could allow the Timbers to increase the stadium's capacity to over 30,000, certainly making the Timbers' home ground one of the largest soccer-specific stadiums in the United States.\n\nAny east side expansion, of course, is a much longer-term project than the south end development currently in the works. There are still significant challenges facing any east side expansion, including financing, stadium infrastructure expansion, and a design-review process that prevented the Timbers from building above the 18th Street level in 2010.\n\nBut on Wednesday, we found out that such a project is possible, even if the odds of seeing it completed in the first half of the 2020s would only arouse optimism in Lloyd Christmas.\n\nSo what would an expanded Providence Park look like? Let's stretch our imagination.\n\nTo start with, as Portland history nerd and Stumptown Footy contributor emeritus Michael Orr pointed out on Twitter, the idea of a two-tiered Providence Park is nothing new. Since the west and north sides of the stadium took their modern form, various Portlanders have drawn up plans to complete the horseshoe and build an upper deck. As the pictures Orr shared demonstrate, it could also be done while preserving the overall architectural aesthetic of the historic stadium, something that should be a priority for any expansion of the Park.\n\nAlthough expanded capacity would be a primary purpose of the expansion, the opportunity for the club to install additional lucrative premium seating would be just as important. Accordingly, any expansion on the east side would almost certainly include significant additional suite-quality seating, likely at the top of the existing east grandstand as part of a building that would provide part of the anchor for the new stand.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11018, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "903c0ca0f8ca48100bdfb5c31a90af7ae22be74b", "raw_chars": 3270, "clean_chars": 3255, "edit_ratio": 0.5528, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Similarly, Switzerland began as an extremely loose confederation of republican cantons in the late Middle Ages, where individual cantons even had the right to declare war. These cantons were originally established by peasants who overthrew the Habsburg aristocracy, securing a bloody victory over their knights at the Battle of Morgarten. When the Confederates attacked from above using rocks, logs, and halberds, the Austrian knights had no room to defend themselves and suffered a crushing defeat, while the foot soldiers in the rear fled back to the city of Zug. Approximately 1,500 Habsburg soldiers were killed in the attack. According to Karl von Elgger, the Confederates, unfamiliar with the customs of battles between knights, brutally butchered retreating troops and anyone unable to flee. He recorded that some infantry preferred to drown themselves in the lake rather than face the brutality of the Swiss, which established the Confederates' reputation as fierce and barbaric fighters.\n\nAlthough geographic isolation and poor soil kept Switzerland fairly poor, it served as an oasis of relative religious toleration and peace during the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War. Over time, however, the cantons became more oligarchic. Political power congealed around the thirteen cantons of the old confederation. During this era, patrician families decreased in number but increased in power. Some patrician families were drawn from leadership in the guilds or trading groups within the towns, while others grew from successful mercenary captains and soldiers. This trend toward increasing authoritarianism conflicted with the history of public expression that had grown out of the Swiss Reformation. In many regions, patrician families were unable to suppress public assemblies, but they did dominate them. The tradition of inviting the people to express their opinions died out mostly during this era.\n\nDuring this time, changes to the membership of city councils became increasingly rare. Throughout the Middle Ages, a seat on the town council was normally a lifetime appointment. However, plagues, battlefield deaths, and conflicts over the Reformation guaranteed a regular turnover in the city councils. During the early modern era, growing scientific knowledge and relative peace reduced the number of open seats in the cities. At the same time, council members were increasingly able to fill the councils with relatives. The population in Europe began to expand again following the Thirty Years' War, leading to population pressure that had not been experienced in several generations. For protection and help against the rising number of immigrants and landless peasants, many villages began to draw closer to neighboring towns, eventually coming under the authority of the larger towns. During the 17th century, seats in the councils became increasingly hereditary. Between 50 and 200 families controlled all the key political, military, and industrial positions in Switzerland. In Bern, out of 360 burgher families, only 69 still held any power and could be elected by the end of the 18th century. However, the aristocracy remained generally open, and in some cities, new families were accepted if they were successful and rich enough.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11033, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "71d70d0ccdb6a38c1f144e52795b125f4da1b451", "raw_chars": 682, "clean_chars": 743, "edit_ratio": 0.8484, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "To adopt a pet, begin by clicking any of the buttons below.

You look at Article 2, the quote on the president has to be a native born? That is Deuteronomy 17:15, verbatim. I mean, it drives the secularists nuts because the Bible's all over it!\"\n\n\"We looked up every citation Barton said was from the Bible, but not one of them checked out,\" the NPR reporter said, before going on to lay out how Barton repeatedly and aggressively lies flat out in his claims that men like Thomas Jefferson intended our government to be religious to the point of Christian theocracy.\n\nBarton had his book on Jefferson pulled from shelves by the publisher in 2012, due to over-the-top dishonesty, but conservative forces are clearly still being influenced by his decades of work put into pushing the fantasy that the U.S. has a secret history as a Christian nation that liberals and secularist have covered up.\n\nThe echoes of that belief are all over, for instance, the recent controversy in Tennessee over the Bible. The legislature in the state narrowly passed a bill making the Bible the official state book, and it's up in the air whether the governor will have the cojones to veto something so obviously in violation of the First Amendment.\n\nIn justifying this bill, one state senator argued that \"the very founding of our nation, the very form of government we have to today\" is based on the Bible.\n\nAnyone who has followed the history of the religious right knows exactly where that idea comes from: David Barton and his Wallbuilders organization, the single most aggressive force for decades now in popularizing the idea that the Founders were somehow trying to create a Christian nation built on biblical principles.\n\nWhile it might seem like a small thing to make the Bible the official state book, this sort of thing is clearly being rolled out as a test of the legal boundaries, which is not only pointlessly expensive, but if successful, will surely lead the way to other, more aggressive efforts to dismantle the wall between church and state. This is about constructing the entirely false narrative that the Bible is an important document in history....one that will therefore have to be taught in schools with misleading narratives about it being a foundational document.\n\nWhile they're teaching kids that the Bible is a foundational document of American history, they might as well teach Barton's beliefs that love of cuddly cartoon animals leads to worshipping forgotten Babylonian gods.

He then turned his attention to Disney cartoon animals. \"Now I'm a huge Disney fan,\" Barton stated. \"But when Bambi comes out and suddenly, Bambi is a human. Bambi's daddy gets shot and man, it's like having your own daddy shot.\"\n\nIt is telling that Barton remembers the scene as Bambi's father dying, when it is actually Bambi's mother who passes away. This casual disregard for the lives of women in the Christian right extends even to cartoon animals.\n\nBarton's co-host agreed, claiming that \"Bambi\" was the first example of an anthropomorphized animal. \"Before that, you had Old Yeller. Before that, you had Black Beauty,\" he said. \"Bambi was not the first time an animal was not just an animal.\"\n\nEven within the fact-free zone of religious right programming, this claim is a significant error. \"Bambi\" was released in 1942, while \"Old Yeller\" was published in 1956. Prior to \"Bambi,\" there were numerous examples of anthropomorphized animals, including the Peter Rabbit books (1902), \"Winnie-the-Pooh\" (1926), the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales (first published in 1812), and \"The Wind in the Willows\" (1908).\n\nRegardless of the facts, there is a bizarre paranoia that needs to be whipped up. \"If you look back at the time of the Bible, a lot of the idols back then were actually animals,\" Barton ominously warned. \"Dagon was the fish God.\"\n\n\"The Bible tells us that you are to be kind to your animals,\" he added, seemingly ensuring that his insinuations were clear. \"But you don't worship your animals, you don't make a Dagon god out of them, and that's what we've now done.\"\n\nDagon is a Babylonian fertility god in the shape of a fish, and clearly a grave threat to Barton's emotional stability, despite the fact that he hasn't been worshipped in a couple of thousand years.\n\nOne hopes no one tells Barton about furries. He might never recover.\n\nListening to these individuals, who are so insecure that they feel jealous when children cry over Bambi's mother dying, is amusing but also troubling. Barton is not some random person sitting in a corner, worried that Mickey Mouse is turning children toward the ancient Babylonian faith. He is a hugely influential thinker on the religious right, a man whose invariably false ideas about American history have had an enormous impact on the goals and ideals of the religious right today.\n\nAs the Southern Poverty Law Center outlines in their dossier on Barton, he has built his career as a self-styled \"historian\" who is actually a propagandist. He has spent his life trying to construct the notion that the Founding Fathers intended the United States not to be the secular democracy described in the Constitution, but a Christian nation built on his interpretation of the Bible.

A late goal by Mario Gomez decided the match after Franck Ribery and Mesut Özil each scored earlier. In what was an exciting, albeit typically ferocious and antagonistic meeting between these two sides, Bayern took control of the game in the first half and never relented until they were eventually rewarded for their persistence. Madrid had a good spell in the opening stages of each half but never reached their best, suffering from a mismatch of tactics and some poor individual performances. In the end, it was a deserving win for Bayern and a great lead going into what should be an intense second leg.\n\nHaving rested five players at the weekend and admitting that his side had been fatigued following their midweek loss against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes resumed with his preferred lineup. The only exclusion was Thomas Müller, instead selecting a midfield of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Luiz Gustavo, and Toni Kroos playing off Gomez. Heynckes deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, which was also the order of the day for Real Madrid manager José Mourinho. Mourinho returned João Coentrão, Ángel Di María, Xabi Alonso, and Karim Benzema after resting them over the weekend. Özil was picked to start in his 100th official match for the club over Kaká, with Gonzalo Higuaín and Marcelo benched; Marcelo's exclusion was the only surprise at the start. Theoretically, Mourinho included a more defensively sound player in Coentrão, hoping the Portuguese left-back would contain Arjen Robben. Some also speculated that he would take a more defensive approach with three central midfielders, as he has done in some matches against Barcelona, but he decided otherwise.\n\nHeynckes said before this match that it would be more tactical than anything else, and in the end, he was right. Mourinho’s initial approach and subsequent changes ultimately hindered his team against the motivated and focused Bayern. This is how the match unfolded.\n\nReal Madrid started with the bulk of possession, which is not surprising considering they have averaged more than any other side left in the competition besides Barcelona. For the first 10 minutes, Bayern could not get out of their own half, and Madrid nearly capitalized on that in the seventh minute after Özil played a defense-splitting through ball to Benzema, but Manuel Neuer’s awareness kept the ball out. That short spell of domination was then broken when Ribery found his way into the box from the right, beat Sergio Ramos, but went to the ground appealing for a penalty. Referee Howard Webb waved him off, but Madrid were phased. Momentum slowly started swinging in Bayern’s favor.\n\nReal Madrid have been particularly poor defending set pieces this season, and they were exposed again on Bayern’s first goal. Kroos’s corner in the seventeenth minute was not dealt with well by Ramos, and Ribery took advantage by reacting faster than anyone else, pouncing on the loose ball and beating Iker Casillas. It was the first time Madrid had fallen behind in the Champions League this season, and it paved the way for Bayern to take full control of the game. The best chances Madrid mustered in the first half came from free kicks won outside Bayern’s box, but Cristiano Ronaldo never managed any of them on target. Schweinsteiger nearly doubled Bayern’s lead on twenty-one minutes after Ribery set him up, but his driven shot went just wide.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11052, "chunk_idx": 7, "raw_sha1": "eacf9193f3fa26471a741bbd88dbe1851792185b", "raw_chars": 1869, "clean_chars": 1861, "edit_ratio": 0.733, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Arjan: We are a very open country.

My wife then asked, \"If you really think that the product is so good, why don't you start your own club?\"\n\nSo in 1992, we started our own club. The philosophy behind it was to create something different from the regular coffee shops of that time. It looked like a Jamaican hangout, complete with a Jamaican flag on the wall and similar decorations.\n\nInterviewer: Right.\n\nArjan: We created a very artistic cafe where your mother and my mother might possibly go inside for a cup of coffee without even noticing it was a marijuana dispensary. It was very artistic. We made all the shop decorations ourselves, including mosaics on the walls. We made our own lives because we were pretty crazy. My wife is an interior architect, so an interior designer. That is how our first club started.\n\nAnd then, again, I had the same problem because indeed, the Dutch really didn't like the marijuana that I was making.\n\nInterviewer: Ah.\n\nArjan: And don't forget, 90% of people at that time were smoking hash until the mid-1990s.\n\nInterviewer: Okay.\n\nArjan: So in 1993, the Kennedy family passed by on High Times at that time, and they said, \"Listen, would you like to join a contest? Thanksgiving, November.\" It was the first marijuana competition in the world. And at that time, of course, a marijuana competition was one of the craziest things to do. It was really illegal.\n\nInterviewer: Right.\n\nArjan: So CNN came, the BBC, there were like 25 television stations because which idiot in the world was going to make a marijuana contest? The cops were going to raid it. You know, the whole story, no?\n\nInterviewer: Yes.\n\nArjan: Well, to make a long story short, we completely forgot about the whole event because this was in April, and the event was in November. In November, there were 300 to 400 really high Americans in front of my door. I had this little place in Toolstraat, south of Amsterdam, in a little neighborhood. And suddenly I was confronted with all these people there. They were lucky I didn't have bad thoughts. I just thought, smoking, all the Americans said to me, \"Oh man, this is really great. This is really great. We've never smoked this.\"\n\nSo, okay, I thought, yeah, yeah, sure, you know. Yeah, you're happy now because you get something for free and blah, blah, blah, you know how it goes. But okay, five days later was the election. At that time in the Red Light District there was a big hotel, and they got a club there. And then I won five of the six main prizes, main cups.\n\nInterviewer: Oh wow.\n\nArjan: I was a 28-year-old boy, very young. And so full television was on, CNN and BBC from that day on, things went very, very fast. So that's a little bit of history of how the Green House started, and then, of course, people started asking for the seeds. So in 1995 we established the seed company, and after we established three or four more clubs.

However, the site also serves as a platform for artists without corporate-backed distribution channels to self-publish their work. Because these blockades are a blunt instrument, legitimate content is being swept up in the process as well. Consequently, the legality of a recent Pirate Bay blockade is now being questioned.\n\nIn May 2011, the Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre (CIAPC) and the Finnish branch of the music industry group IFPI filed a lawsuit at the District Court of Helsinki. The groups demanded that local ISP Elisa begin blocking The Pirate Bay to protect the copyrights of their members. Although Elisa initially refused, a subsequent court order in October 2011 forced compliance, and the block was implemented last month.\n\nThe matter is currently under appeal, but in the meantime, Elisa’s block must remain in effect. This means that no content indexed by The Pirate Bay—whether illicit or fully authorized—is available to the ISP’s customers. For one Elisa customer, Antti Laine, this situation is unacceptable.\n\nLaine argues that the enforcement order handed down to his ISP was unlawful, so he has filed a complaint with the authority that sanctioned the block. His complaint states that under Finnish copyright law, any injunction should avoid collateral damage. He insists that such a wide block fails to consider this responsibility, adding that \"enforcement of the decision is based on an erroneous application of law.\" His complaint is made on three grounds.\n\nFirst, Laine notes that he has been working on a project and the media created is being distributed via The Pirate Bay. Due to the block, the distribution of his content is being affected. Second, as a client of Elisa, Laine says that due to the blockade he can no longer download or upload any material that creators deem to be for free distribution. Under copyright law, this legal content cannot be the target of the injunction, yet its availability is being threatened. Third, Laine states that the injunction is based on an incorrect application of the law. Service providers can only be ordered to block access to infringing files, but the blanket censorship is affecting huge numbers of other works. Furthermore, Laine argues that the blockade also affects all legal content uploaded to The Pirate Bay after it was initiated, and such preemptive censorship is against Finland’s constitution.\n\nRegarding the third point, Laine attached a list of Creative Commons, GPL, and Public Domain material affected by the block. This includes content from Dope Stars Inc, titles such as Steal This Film, LionShare, and Zeitgeist from Jamie King’s VODO, Rip: A Remix Manifesto, Finland’s own Star Trek parody series Star Wreck, and many open source software applications.\n\n\"No blocking mechanism should block content that’s available legally,\" Joonas Mäkinen of Finland’s Pirate Party tells TorrentFreak. \"If the proposed methods can’t reasonably differentiate between authorized and non-authorized content, they should never be put in action.\" Mäkinen adds, \"There is no reason to block even The Pirate Bay’s website itself, as the texts and images there—a whopping 90 megabytes—are definitely not in illegal distribution per se.\"\n\nLaine seeks a correction of the existing injunction so that it no longer breaches the Copyright Act and Constitutional Law.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11065, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2da44669b0c3ee7a78747d115ccd5a3a89029b06", "raw_chars": 3185, "clean_chars": 3231, "edit_ratio": 0.0321, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "When Auburn upset number one Alabama in the Iron Bowl on Saturday evening—a day after number two Miami managed to lose by double digits to number seventy Pittsburgh (5-7)—it seemed like chaos was once again reigning over college football. And in a sense, it was. Yet, at the same time, Alabama's loss actually helped shrink the number of teams in contention for the College Football Playoff field.\n\nThat's because, prior to Alabama's loss, there were a number of two-loss teams—Notre Dame, Penn State, USC, and TCU—that hoped to find a backdoor into the field of four. But now the prospect of having a second team from the Southeastern Conference make the playoff has become very real, since that second team would be the one-loss Crimson Tide—a team that would almost surely beat out any two-loss team apart from Auburn, or possibly Ohio State.\n\nSo, while Notre Dame lost later in the evening to Stanford, the Irish—and all the other two-loss teams not vying for either the SEC or Big Ten championship—were effectively eliminated by Auburn's victory. (TCU might not have been entirely eliminated, but it seems the Horned Frogs' only real chance at this point would be to blow out Oklahoma—and even that likely wouldn't be enough.)\n\nWith one week to go, there are eight teams realistically competing for a playoff spot, and another one—undefeated UCF (number two in the Anderson & Hester Rankings)—that should be. The eight teams in contention are those playing in the championship games of the Big Ten (Wisconsin and Ohio State), SEC (Georgia and Auburn), and ACC (Clemson and Miami), plus Oklahoma (playing TCU in the bizarre \"championship game\" of the division-less Big 12) and Alabama (which won't play again until the playoff field is announced).\n\nThe eight teams may be clear, but where they should be ranked is not. Indeed, with the CFP Selection Committee's number one, number two, and number eight teams all having lost this past weekend, the question is where any of the contenders should be ranked.\n\nFrom 1998 to 2013 the Bowl Championship Series determined which two teams would play in the national championship game. After the first six (somewhat controversial) years, the BCS Standings were streamlined after the 2003 season, giving two-thirds' weight to the polls and one-third weight to the computer rankings. For the ten seasons that followed, the BCS delivered the consensus national championship matchup every year, with essentially no controversy. In asking where teams should be ranked, therefore, a good starting point is to look at where teams would now be ranked by the BCS.\n\nApproximating the BCS Standings requires using the coaches poll, the AP poll (the best stand-in for the Harris poll, which was created by and for the BCS, but which no longer exists), and four former BCS computer rankings: Anderson & Hester (which I co-created), Billingsley, Colley, and Wolfe. The two other BCS computer rankings, Sagarin and Massey, no longer publish the version of their rankings that met the BCS's requirement that they not be based on margin of victory (a requirement instituted after the margin-of-victory-driven computers kept 1-loss Oregon out of the national championship game during the 2001-02 season).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11077, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5e3503ca2b5c6fc235395d6d3f046d63f4285e8c", "raw_chars": 1565, "clean_chars": 1649, "edit_ratio": 0.9546, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On Thursday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers announced several key details regarding the team's spring and summer practice schedule.

Now, with former Port Authority chairman Christopher Ciasek appearing clumsy on another issue, the purveyors of Hudson County politics have rallied to praise the PATH train system, presumably to politically bury Christie.\n\nThe catalyst is a report prepared by a Port Authority of New York and New Jersey panel, which suggests privatizing portions of PATH train service to and from the city that never sleeps. In the name of bipartisanship, Christie and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo championed the report while eschewing bipartisan legislative reforms.\n\nTramping in from the frigid weather beside the Grove Street PATH Station, a military tent-sized collection of Democratic Party politicians joined Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop to denounce the proposed scheme. The political undercurrent carried repeated evocations of \"North Jersey\" amid proud hurrahs. Fulop, a fledgling candidate for governor in 2017, appeared to be revving up the erector set pieces he will need to craft a northern Democratic Primary fortress.\n\nU.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) led the way, heaping praise on Fulop for organizing the show of force. \"I applaud the mayor's leadership to join together a coalition to speak out against a travesty,\" said New Jersey's senior senator, who slammed the Port Authority, traditionally a nest for political patronage, some of which got blasted and exposed during last year's Bridgegate crisis. \"I still think we need an independent audit,\" Menendez said to hand claps. He suggested changing the existing compact between New York and New Jersey to make the Port more accountable, bottom line, to the people.\n\n\"They forgot their core mission,\" said Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, amplifying what Menendez identified early as public transportation. In order to help get a bloated agency under control, a 100-page plan released over the Christmas holiday weekend and championed by the bi-state governors would save $10 million by privatizing portions of PATH train service.\n\nMenendez argued that it's a lunatic way for an agency with a $2.9 billion operating budget to throw the burden of its so-called reform onto the shoulders of the citizens of Hudson County. The mayor estimated that 390,000 people would be unfairly impacted by the proposed loss of PATH service from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. on weeknights.\n\n\"That's despicable,\" said state Senator Nick Sacco (D-32). \"They are out of control.\"\n\n\"We want the governor and the chairman [of the Port, John Degnan] to say this is off the table,\" said Fulop, doubling down on a point made earlier in the program by Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer. \"No one consulted us,\" Zimmer said, a loose elbow at the front office.\n\nOthers in attendance included U.S. Rep. Albio Sires (D-8), Speaker Vincent Prieto (D-32), state senators Sandy Cunningham and Ronald L. Rice, Assemblyman Raj Mukherji, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and numerous mayors and Hudson County officials.\n\nA reporter pointed out that Degnan has argued for bus service to duplicate those PATH train lanes now serving residents. \"It's safe to assume that Chairman Degnan has never been on the PATH late at night,\" said Fulop to claps.

After an initial burst of fan interest, IMAX insiders expected sales to hit a wall and decline. Instead, interest has been accelerating. Sources say an average weekend take for an IMAX theater is $4,000 to $5,000 per screen, but Game of Thrones is tracking to easily exceed that figure, which is rather impressive for a screening that is essentially a TV show's repeats on Super Bowl weekend.\n\nThe numbers are nowhere near the enormous per-screen average of a blockbuster new release like Interstellar, of course, but they eclipse the pre-sales of nearly all of IMAX's previous non-new-release special event screenings.\n\nIMAX Entertainment CEO Greg Foster tells Entertainment Weekly that he booked Game of Thrones—the first TV show to ever receive a showcase in the format—to help fill a gap during what is traditionally a very slow time of year at the box office. Foster said he had an instinct the acclaimed fantasy hit would perform well. \"We announced this and our website crashed,\" Foster said. \"As soon as that happened, my instinct didn't matter; the interest became empirical. Then a week later, we announced we were moving the date to accommodate more theaters, and the website crashed again—twice.

Usually, this shows that the traditional conception of physics, which expresses everything in terms of initial conditions and laws of motion, is inadequate to handle them. Therefore, either they are not fundamental at all, or the traditional conception is not fundamental—it must be regarded only as an approximation. However, there are also cases where the traditional conception is merely misleading and sometimes leads to paradoxical ways of reasoning about things.\n\nA case in point is the well-known Newcomb's paradox, which we will consider in a slightly revised manner. Suppose a game is set up as follows. At time t0, a predictor P prepares a large box with the following content: two smaller, opaque, soundproof boxes, labeled A and B, each containing one or more puppies (to be specified below); and an automaton T that is programmed to open one or both boxes at a later time t1, in such a way as to obtain the maximum number of puppies.\n\nAt time t0, the small boxes and the automaton are sealed in the large box, and the automaton begins to ponder its choice. Just to be clear: we have not yet fully specified how the boxes were filled, but no matter how the boxes were filled, given that there is at least one puppy in each, there must be more puppies in both boxes combined than in box A alone. At time t1, the automaton T must choose to open either box A or both boxes.\n\nThe boxes are filled by the predictor P as follows: if T is predicted to choose to open both boxes, one puppy is placed in box A and one in box B before the larger box is sealed. If T is predicted to choose, at time t1, to open only box A, three puppies are placed in box A and again only one in box B before the larger box is sealed.\n\nThe predictor has perfect knowledge about the initial conditions of the automaton T and about the dynamical laws of everything in the box—which, for the sake of argument, are supposed to be deterministic.\n\nTherefore, the rules of the game allow only two possible scenarios at time t1: P predicted that T will open both boxes; box A contains one puppy, box B contains one; T opens both boxes and gets two puppies in total. Or, P predicted that T will open one box; box A contains three puppies, box B contains one; T opens only box A and gets three puppies.\n\nThe paradox arises from the fact that the automaton can provide an output based on two different algorithms, derived from two different arguments, which apparently must be equivalent under the traditional conception of physics—i.e., they must lead the automaton to the same conclusion—but they seem not to.\n\nThe first algorithm leads the automaton to open only box A, so that it gets three puppies. This is derived from the rules of the game: if T were to open both boxes, T will only get two puppies.\n\nThe other algorithm is instead based on the reasoning that there are only two possible initial conditions for boxes A and B immediately after time t0 (just after the preparation, when the larger box outside is sealed). One is where each box contains one puppy; the other is where A contains three puppies and B contains one. For both initial conditions, a larger number of puppies is obtained by opening both boxes, because the sum of the content of both is always larger than the content of either. Therefore, the automaton should conclude to open both boxes irrespective of everything else.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11094, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2e5907e0461ea75db7940c4978321dd3cb0bd281", "raw_chars": 3490, "clean_chars": 3431, "edit_ratio": 0.5073, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Columnist Mike Smyth examines the political battle in Victoria over finally bringing the Uber ride-hailing service to British Columbia. The B.C. Liberals believed they had a bright, shiny, vote-winning issue ahead of the May election when they promised to introduce the popular service in time for Christmas. The appeal was clear: no more worries about getting home from the office Christmas party when taxis were impossible to find, and no more temptations to drive after a glass of eggnog, with a quick and cheap Uber ride just a tap away on a smartphone screen.\n\nThe Liberals' point man on their \"Uber by Christmas\" promise was cabinet minister Peter Fassbender, who represented Surrey-Fleetwood in the B.C. legislature. For opponents in the rival New Democratic Party, this was perfect. The NDP recognized that the Liberals' Uber plan was setting off alarm bells within a taxi industry dominated by South Asian cab drivers, many of whom had sunk their life savings into their taxi licenses. \"I know a lot of families worried about losing their homes,\" said Harry Bains, the NDP MLA for Surrey-Newton. \"They are really scared.\"\n\nThe Liberals knew their plan would anger taxi drivers, particularly among Indo-Canadians. However, they calculated that more people wanted Uber than opposed it, and opinion polls appeared to back them up. Now, key Liberals admit it was a mistake. \"A lot of young people love their smartphone technology and wanted Uber,\" former Liberal cabinet minister Bill Bennett told me. \"Unfortunately, a lot of young people don't vote.\"\n\nFor a politically sophisticated and engaged Indo-Canadian community, however, the situation was different. \"South Asians dominate the taxi industry and the Uber issue drove votes to the NDP,\" said Gurpreet Singh, a talk-show host at Spice Radio, an Indo-Canadian station. \"It wasn't just cab drivers who were worried. It was their wives and their kids and their grandparents and their extended families. That's a lot of votes.\"\n\nThe New Democrats, perhaps worried the Uber issue might still work in the Liberals' favor, issued a vaguely worded campaign promise to \"support the passing of new rules to introduce ride-sharing to B.C. in 2017\" while creating \"a truly fair approach\" with taxi drivers.

The risk to the Liberals in ridings with large South Asian communities became clearer as the election neared.\n\nAt the height of the campaign, I was in a taxi cab jammed with reporters heading to an event. Hitching a ride with us was Stephen Smart, the press secretary for Christy Clark, then the Liberal leader and premier. \"Oh, you guys are covering the election?\" the cab driver chimed in. \"The Liberals are going to get slaughtered in Surrey because of Uber!\" Smart told us the cab driver was wrong, but the cabbie was right.\n\nOf the eight Metro Vancouver ridings with the largest South Asian populations, the NDP ran the table. The Liberals lost every one, including Fassbender's seat in Surrey. This brings us to the present day, with an NDP minority government trying to figure out how to deal with the Uber issue. Last week, Transportation Minister Claire Trevena announced yet another review of the ride-hailing industry that won't be completed until 2018, with a policy decision not expected until well into the new year.

With divorce rates hovering around 50 percent and many fathers trapped in a career of servitude within corporate environments, it often seems that contemporary fathers have few opportunities to truly live up to the title. Society also appears to favor mothers; since 2004, Father’s Day sales have consistently lagged behind Mother’s Day spending by approximately two times, according to statistics from the U.S. National Retail Federation.\n\nIn contrast, ancient Chinese culture placed a high premium on the father’s role within the family. The ancients honored their fathers with a reverence equal to that of kings and even gods. In legendary times, the character meaning \"monarch\" contained within it the symbol for \"father.\" While this may sound extreme to modern ears, Chinese tradition offers broad lessons for fathers today.\n\nFathers in Chinese Tradition\n\nAs the head of society’s smallest unit, the family, the father was responsible not only for the physical well-being of his household but also for instilling in his children the mores and attitudes befitting the familial roles they would eventually inherit. Confucius, the famous sage who lived over 2,500 years ago, taught that filial piety, or \"xiao,\" was the bedrock of a functioning family. This concept rests on the reciprocity inherent in different social relationships—between friends, older and younger siblings, father and son, husband and wife, and ruler and ruled. By recognizing these relationships, people could live and grow side by side in harmony.\n\nConfucius held that paternal love was distinct from maternal affection; above all, a father must command a healthy respect.\n\nA Healthy Distance\n\nWhile the father had to be kind and loving to his children, there still had to exist a certain distance. Fathers in ancient China did not pretend that they were meant to be friends with their children in the conventional sense. It was not the job of a parent to indulge in their children’s worlds, but rather to provide them with the means to develop their character and enter the adult world. Whether in business dealings or domestic affairs, the father was cognizant of the example he was setting for young onlookers and gave explicit instruction where appropriate.\n\nA father could not let down the barriers of propriety that defined his role. Though his contact with his children may have been limited, much like it is today by the constraints of his vocation, he had to make the best possible imprint upon his progeny.\n\nDon’t Be an Autocrat\n\nThis is not to say that Chinese fathers had the final word in all instances. As one first-century Chinese thinker put it, \"All men are children of God and are merely made flesh through the spirits of father and mother. Therefore, the father has not absolute power over the son.\"\n\nSince the child has been seeing his father as a role model and bearer of morality, he is also expected to hold himself to these same principles. This is not the same as blind obedience, which Confucius loathed. When one of his disciples boasted of having withstood a particularly brutal beating from his father, Confucius was quick to reprimand him. By tolerating the potentially injurious blows, was the son not allowing his father to commit wrongdoing?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11134, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5e081c7b069bc9814af0fdf03996c0d26ef5c497", "raw_chars": 3071, "clean_chars": 2987, "edit_ratio": 0.6669, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Curiosity led me down the path of a weekend project once again. I was reading about different string hashing algorithms and felt the urge to visualize their grouping and collision tendencies, so I fired up Visual Studio and wrote a quick, dirty application.\n\nThe project, appropriately named \"Buckets,\" is actually quite simple. It works by taking a 600x600 image and creating a hash bucket for each pixel. It then generates a series of incremental or random strings and runs them against the selected hashing algorithm. Once the hash is computed, the application finds the appropriate bucket and increments a value within it to indicate that a hash value was assigned to that bucket. This generated data is then used to create either a gradient map or a three-dimensional surface to visualize the different hash frequencies.\n\nThe results were surprising. In my initial tests, I used only randomly generated data. I was hesitant at first about relying solely on a generator, as some generators can produce their own patterns, but a good hash should distribute even non-random data evenly. Despite my best efforts, I could not produce any discernible patterns, even though I knew that some of the less capable algorithms should have shown tendencies. I am still not entirely sure if this is correct, but I eventually concluded that the set of all possible keys is simply so large that I would need to test an extremely large number of keys before patterns began to emerge.\n\nNext, I decided to use predictable keys. I chose two different methods for this. The first was to simply loop an integer upward and hash the integer as a string. This had the benefit of generating no alphabetic characters, offering a different perspective on the algorithm's performance. The second method involved walking through a character string and converting the integer value into a corresponding string value. These methods began to yield much better results.\n\nFor simpler hashes, such as the additive hash or the exclusive-OR (XOR) hash, the results were pitiful. However, the Bernstein and SDMB hashes began to show some very interesting patterns.\n\nIt is clear how the SAX hash is heavily dependent on key length and fails to produce well-distributed hashes with smaller keys. It is also notable that under no circumstance was I able to get Google's MurmurHash2 or MurmurHash3 to produce any kind of pattern. Perhaps with more computing power and running more hashes, I might be able to get some pattern to bubble up.\n\nThere are too many different possibilities to show here, but if you would like to see and play with the outputs yourself, I have uploaded both the binary and the source code for the application.\n\nYou can find the source for the project on the Disruption Theory GitHub repository: https://github.com/DisruptionTheory/Buckets.

This development, along with the possibility of a third recount or additional legal filings, could shift control of the 100-seat state House to Democrats for the first time in 20 years.\n\n\"In races with slim margins such as these, recounts ensure that every vote is counted and every voice is heard,\" said state House Democratic Leader David Toscano and Caucus Chair Charniele Herring in a statement announcing the recount request.\n\nThe Commonwealth's already newsworthy election has seen its share of drama. At least one federal lawsuit has been filed over State House District 28, where Democrat Joshua Cole blames a post office error for his loss after a number of absentee ballots arrived the day after the election. Cole, who lost by just 82 votes, is asking the judge to certify the votes, though the Department of Elections claims absentee votes must be received by 5 p.m. on election day to be valid.\n\nDistrict 28 has other problems as well. After certifying the district's votes on Monday, election officials admitted that at least 147 votes were counted in the wrong district or given the wrong ballots. A former registrar, who has since passed away, is said to have been the cause of the mistake.\n\n\"This may not be the first time people got the wrong ballot, it's just the first time somebody noticed,\" said Professor Stephen Farnsworth, the director of the University of Mary Washington's Center for Leadership and Media Studies.\n\nHe noted that this year's election is unique because the margins in these key state races are so slim—10 votes in District 94, 106 votes in District 40, and 82 votes in District 28—and because the outcome has the potential to tip the scales of power in the Commonwealth.\n\nFarnsworth thinks legal challenges could further bog down January's 2018 session and possibly force legislators to start without 100 confirmed members or solidified control of the House. \"It seems likely that this will find its end in the courts,\" he said, noting that the 28th district complaint could soon be among others filed by candidates as recounts proceed in the coming weeks. \"If a court rules that the winner of the election can't be seated until the litigation is concluded, you'd be looking at a 50-49 House of Delegates.\"\n\nThat has understandably made the stakes high for both parties. If recounts fail to satisfy either party's candidate, additional legal options could be pursued. One is to go to court, as Cole has done. Among the possible outcomes in that case is that the presiding judge could order a special election be held.\n\nThe state constitution also provides another route to resolving lingering electoral controversies. The General Assembly may select the winner of a contested election by following a procedure similar to passing a bill. The losing candidate files a petition with the Committee on Privileges and Elections, which then hears the case and reports its findings to the House at large. The House then holds a vote, and the majority selects the winning candidate.\n\nDemocratic Party of Virginia Communications Manager Katie Baker had warned about recounts and says her party is quite fired up about the 147 mixed-up votes, which is less than half the losing margin for Cole. \"It's the equivalent of putting those ballots in a box and burning them,\" she said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11159, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "5885de1dd8e79ea18287ea762295c0b02dbfa54b", "raw_chars": 1959, "clean_chars": 1908, "edit_ratio": 0.7124, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Australia and the United States have tied for the worst rankings among 21 high-income nations regarding the generosity of their paid parental leave policies.

The closed-door, two-day conference is attended by senior officers from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC).\n\nIn a Twitter post, the CBEC noted that the Prime Minister directed tax administrators to be friendly toward honest taxpayers. According to the official statement, the Prime Minister asked officers to utilize data analytical tools to proactively track and determine undeclared income and wealth. Although officers make efforts each year to increase tax revenue, the estimated amounts of tax that should accrue to the system are often not realized. He asked officers to provide a time-bound solution for tax raised but not realized, asserting that honest taxpayers should not continue to pay the price for the misdeeds of the dishonest.\n\nRegarding this issue, he also suggested a complete reworking of human resource management in the tax departments to strengthen the data analytics and investigation wings. The Prime Minister emphasized that to enable all traders to maximize the benefits of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), it must be ensured that all traders, including smaller ones with a turnover below Rs 20 lakhs, are registered with the GST system. He asked officers to design a system to facilitate this category of traders.\n\nThe CBEC reported that Modi appreciated the efforts of central and state officials for the smooth implementation of the GST, which unifies more than a dozen levies, including excise duty, service tax, and VAT. Previously described by Modi as a \"good and simple tax\" that would help end tax terrorism and inspector raj, the GST was rolled out on July 1, creating a single market in India and ending the cascading effect of multiple taxes. The CBEC stated that the Prime Minister desired the benefits of the GST to percolate to the common man. The GST is expected to boost economic activity, as a uniform rate for goods and services simplifies business and facilitates the smooth movement of goods and services.\n\nIn his address, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley commended the efforts of central and state tax officials in making the GST a reality. He also thanked Modi for his \"visionary policies and motivation,\" according to a CBEC tweet. The objective of the two-day Rajaswa Gyan Sangam is to enable two-way communication between policymakers and senior officers in field offices, with the aim of increasing revenue collection and facilitating the effective implementation of laws and policies, as the finance ministry had previously stated.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11176, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3bf6fe08cf85604bd36163c34c9302b0ffa2f7d7", "raw_chars": 554, "clean_chars": 554, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Image copyright Press Eye Image caption Bonfires are traditionally set on fire on 15 August in some nationalist areas\n\nHowever, nationalist and republican politicians have criticised the practice, saying it causes disruption to local residents.\n\nSocial Democratic and Labour Party councillor John Boyle said: \"We need to find different ways of celebrating culture.\n\n\"If the police or any other statutory agency had attempted to remove the bonfire we may well actually have been looking at something a hell of a lot worse than we're looking at currently.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11170, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "1e1380e631bdc729f42d1759d540b05f39056638", "raw_chars": 3417, "clean_chars": 3411, "edit_ratio": 0.0442, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On Sunday, a day when African Americans typically vote in large numbers due to \"souls to the polls\" initiatives that encourage churchgoers to head to the ballot box after services, Democrats made a major push to close the deficit, and there are signs they made some progress.\n\n\"It was a big day for the Democrats,\" McDonald said. \"Without a doubt. 48.7 percent of people who voted were Democrats, 31.9 percent were African Americans … and they did make up some ground.

This decision was part of a broader set of rulings in which the Authority rejected five complaints made against RTÉ.\n\nThe controversy stemmed from a December episode of the show, during which presenter Ryan Tubridy asked Byrne about his upcoming performance at the Royal Variety Performance in the UK. Byrne responded by contrasting the two events, stating, \"Yeah, it’s the hardest gig you’ll ever do because when they say 'My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome,' they mean it. There’s like – you know the way this [referring to the Late Late audience] is full of knackers and tramps here. I mean that’s a how’ya audience. Tickets and free stuff, deadly, give me more free stuff. You don’t get it at the Royal Variety Show.\"\n\nFollowing the broadcast, a complaint was lodged with the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, alleging that Byrne's comment was a clear reference to the Traveller community. The complainant, a member of the Traveller community, further argued that Tubridy's failure to challenge Byrne's remarks created a culture of acceptability for such language.\n\nRTÉ defended Byrne, denying that he was targeting the Traveller community. While acknowledging that the term is often used pejoratively toward Travellers and that its use was regrettable, RTÉ argued that the word has acquired a broader, distinct meaning in everyday Irish speech. In this context, it is used as common slang to describe people who are uncouth, gougers, or ne'er-do-wells, rather than signifying Travellers. The broadcaster also noted that Byrne's comments were jocular in nature, consistent with his fast, informal, and colloquial verbal delivery.\n\nThe Broadcasting Authority of Ireland agreed with RTÉ's assessment. The committee acknowledged that while the word \"knacker\" has the potential to cause offense toward Travellers, it also carries a wide, general meaning that was clearly intended in this instance. Consequently, the Authority found that the comment was directed at the studio audience rather than the Traveller community, and they rejected the complaint.\n\nIn a separate ruling, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland upheld one complaint brought on behalf of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign regarding an episode of Rebel Radio on Cork City Community Radio.

As they arrived at the venue, they were greeted by four men with giant neon signs and GoPro cameras strapped to their heads who set up camp outside the gig and proceeded to shout homophobic slurs at the band – who identify as queer – as well as their fans. It was the first time the group had experienced such flagrant bigotry at a show. The group fear that, following the election of Donald Trump and the subsequent surge in minority group hate crimes, this might not be the last time they face such incidents. Whether you’re in a band or a fan, here’s Ben Hopkins and Liv Bruce’s suggestions on how to respond:\n\nDon’t reward bigots with a negative response\n\nLiv: “The most important thing was to make sure the picketers didn’t have any harmful interaction with any of our fans, some of whom had driven for two and a half hours to escape this kind of bullshit. We tried to keep everyone from engaging with them as much as possible. Just remember that all picketers want is for you to be scared. All they want is for you to be angry. All they want is for you to hear what they’re saying. And if you just ignore them they’ll go away. And their power will be diminished.”\n\nTreat protestors like clowns at a kid’s birthday party\n\nLiv: “My biggest personal interaction with the picketers was when I was getting changed into my dress and I couldn’t decide which one to wear, so I walked up to these so-called Christian protesters and asked what they thought. They were kind of baffled because I was being friendly with them. There was a really funny conversation, but they eventually said something that wasn’t very nice and I had to separate myself from them. They want more than anything to be taken seriously. The best way to thwart them, I believe, isn’t to argue with them or yell at them, but to treat them like clowns at a kid’s birthday party. I think, for me, that’s the healthiest way to engage with them while not giving them any power.”\n\nGain strength from your art\n\nLiv: “The first show we played after the election was in San Francisco. I just remember looking out into the crowd before we started playing and just seeing this heightened energetic state that everyone was in. Everyone was really ready to have a good time and to feel together.”\n\nProtest songs can be valuable\n\nLiv: “I’m not saying that this presidency is a good thing that will lead to great protest music, but I think that protest songs are actually at the core of the American music idiom. So many famous iconic American songs are protest songs and I think that the vast majority of artists will only continue to add to that body of work.”\n\nNever repeat the hate speech\n\nLiv: “I don’t think I would ever tell the press what the picketers were saying to us because that’s getting their message out there. I think it’s important for people who might want to do something negative that we are not going to repeat anything they said.”\n\nElevate and support others", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11182, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "fa6afbdaa0a131fe7f809efaec7d68e88e37b984", "raw_chars": 2583, "clean_chars": 2636, "edit_ratio": 0.316, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "WALNUT CREEK — Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski, who has maintained a quiet off-field life for the past seven years following a half-decade of frequent police encounters, has been charged with misdemeanor battery and false imprisonment in connection with an incident involving a woman that is suspected to have occurred last year, according to Contra Costa Superior Court documents.\n\nThe circumstances surrounding the case remain unclear. The alleged victim, Syrena Nicholson, did not return messages left on her phone. The Raiders issued a statement from chief executive Amy Trask, which read: \"This incident occurred over a year ago. Sebastian was not arrested, we were aware of this matter and this is not news.\"\n\nDetails available in court documents indicate that Nicholson, 36, alleges Janikowski \"did unlawfully violate (her) personal liberty\" and \"did willfully and unlawfully use force and violence upon (her) person\" in Walnut Creek on September 24, 2010. This date falls one day before Janikowski and the Raiders were scheduled to travel to Arizona for a game against the Cardinals. No arrest was made at the time; Nicholson, a Berkeley resident, filed her complaint after the fact.\n\nAttorneys for both parties met in court on Thursday for a pretrial conference. No trial date has been set. If convicted, the charges against Janikowski could result in a maximum sentence of 18 months in jail and a $3,000 fine.\n\nJanikowski, 33, a native of Poland, was arrested four times between 1998 and 2000 while attending Florida State University, three times in connection with barroom altercations. He pleaded no contest to one charge, was acquitted on another, and charges were dropped on the third. He was also arrested for underage alcohol possession, to which he pleaded no contest and paid $215 in court costs.\n\nThe Raiders selected Janikowski in the first round of the 2000 NFL draft. Shortly before reporting to training camp, he was arrested in Tallahassee, Florida, on suspicion of possession of the date-rape drug GHB. He was acquitted in 2001.\n\nIn June 2002, Janikowski was arrested for reckless driving, and four months later for driving under the influence. He pleaded no contest to the DUI charge and received three years of probation. In 2003, he was arrested following a fight outside a Walnut Creek restaurant, but the charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.\n\nJanikowski is the Raiders' all-time leading scorer with 1,153 points.

With $176.4 billion (£107 billion) in liabilities and $91 billion in assets globally at the end of the previous year, this marks the world's largest industrial bankruptcy and the third largest overall, following Lehman Brothers and the telecommunications firm WorldCom.\n\nUnder the protection of the courts, the car manufacturer will effectively secure a standstill arrangement. This provides breathing room from creditors, allowing the company to focus on restructuring. GM has opted for a fast-track version of Chapter 11 protection. The company plans to split itself into a \"good company\" holding most of its assets and a \"bad company\" burdened with most of its liabilities, such as loss-making plants. As part of this plan, GM is offloading its European business, including Vauxhall in the UK, although it will retain a 35% stake in the business.\n\nUS government officials believe GM could re-merge after this process within about three months. While US companies can spend months or even years under Chapter 11, GM wants to exit as quickly as possible. Consumers are often deterred from buying cars from a company they perceive as unable to supply parts in the future or likely to disappear altogether.\n\nRegarding ownership of the new GM, the US Treasury will provide another $30 billion to the new company in exchange for approximately 60% of its equity. The Canadian government will receive 12% of shares in return for lending $9.5 billion. The United Auto Workers union will take a 17.5% stake in shares, and bondholders have written off $27 billion of loans for an initial 10% stake.\n\nThe new GM will be a much slimmed-down version of its former self.

More than 10 factories in the US will close, and its dealership network will be halved. The new company will focus more on producing smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles and will offload or cease production of its Hummer, Saab, Pontiac, and Saturn brands.\n\nFor Vauxhall in the UK, the impact will not be significant. Vauxhall used to be part of General Motors Europe. Last week, it was formally transferred to Opel in Germany, which is itself no longer under the full ownership of GM in the US.

The trial continued with testimonies from defense witnesses. First, the owners of the apartments that G. Nikolopoulos rented in Exarchia from September 2007 to January 2009 testified. They described him as a perfect tenant who fulfilled all his responsibilities.\n\nNext, M. Giospas's mother testified; she is also H. Hadjimihelakis's aunt. She lives on the first floor, above the house that was later referred to as a \"safe house.\" Describing the people who visited her nephew's house, she spoke of individuals who gathered to watch movies, play video games, and converse without taking any precautionary measures.

Another witness, a foreign national with no known address, did not appear in court, and the defense for Aris insisted that his testimony be read in the room. In his testimony, he describes a guy as tall as a basketball player with long hair.\n\nIt is also worth mentioning that the court wanted to examine a police witness who had pre-interrogative duties. Aris's defense immediately produced a document—a decision of the supreme court—stating that this is illegal. After an agreement between the judge and the prosecutor, the police officer will testify as a person with special knowledge (regarding the mask with the DNA) and not as a person with pre-interrogative duties.\n\nThe trial will continue on April 11th.\n\nTHE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN THEIR PRISONS", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11201, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "3fbac885f8bf393d04f7adf66360f03729294820", "raw_chars": 3159, "clean_chars": 3170, "edit_ratio": 0.3294, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Allow me to pivot to something that seems completely unrelated, but I assure you is not: the occasionally dismissive response to critiques of \"political correctness culture\" on college campuses. In the wake of Trump's election, I have seen frustrated responses targeting libertarian outlets, including Reason, for continuing to focus on this subject even while Trump promises a horror show of civil liberties violations.\n\nBesides presenting a false choice—Reason certainly has not abandoned reporting on a whole host of other topics in favor of complaining about college students today—this argument ignores the very real long-term authoritarian consequences of campus speech- and sex-policing. Reason has frequently highlighted the actual impact on people's lives, noting that when college administrators fail to respect the First and Fifth Amendment rights of their students, it can potentially cost them their educations and threaten their livelihoods.\n\nBut that is just a look at the consequences of what is happening right now. Less discussed is how these same students, who are being taught to ignore concepts of free speech and due process if it results in outcomes they dislike, will eventually inherit the systems of government in a decade or so. What happens when a college student who internalizes that due process should not apply to people accused of rape becomes a juror or a judge? What happens when a student who does not believe \"hate speech\" counts as free speech becomes a member of Congress?\n\nThis is precisely why I mentioned earlier that Trump's executive order against refugees and immigrants violated due process. Trump is not just a \"consequence\" of political correctness activism; he is a cracked mirror reflection of it. Trump has no respect for free speech, due process, or really any civil liberties at all.\n\nSo, what I would recommend to anyone calling for an alliance between libertarians and the left—regardless of whichever side is making the call—is to not look at Trump as some particularly remarkable bad outlier and anomaly, though he is certainly giving every sign he is going to be remarkably bad, but rather as an expression of the constantly present dangers of authority that cares only about the \"right\" outcomes and nothing about legal foundations and limits to power based on defenses of human liberty and civil rights.\n\nThere will obviously be places of intersection between libertarians and the left—places where we have been on the same team even before Trump, such as criminal justice reform, immigration, and the scaling back of the drug war. But unless the left is willing to reconsider its relationship with authority and its desire to use power to punish its opponents (which occasionally includes libertarians, lest we forget), what are libertarians supposed to see as the endgame of all this? Long ago, I asked conservatives what happened to the power they were giving President George W. Bush after he left office. Later, I asked the same question to liberals about Obama.

T1 held tryouts to fill their starting spots and bench players, wanting a team that could adapt and be flexible regardless of the situation. If one starting player slumped, they wanted the option of having another elite player on the bench to bring in to make sure that they would make it back to the world stage.\n\nIt was a survival of the fittest tryout, leaving only a couple of players left at each position following rigorous training to see who was strong enough to play for the most decorated organization in South Korea. Those players were allowed to come into SKT T1's gaming house to see if they could acclimate with the team, and eventually became one of their players for the 2015 season.\n\nFrom all of the people who tried out, these were the players who were able to survive and make it into the house:\n\nTop Lane: Huni, Smeb\n\nJungle: Reignover, Rush\n\nMid Lane: Scout\n\nAD Carry: Fury\n\nSupport: Piccaboo\n\nAfter playing in the SKT T1 house for a week, the only player they decided to select to be on their opening day roster was Piccaboo. Smeb would go on to join the KOO Tigers and eventually have his own crazy story that has resulted in a semifinals berth against the player he was competing with. Scout, one of the best amateur players in Korea, stayed with T1 as a practice player and eventually started showing up to games in the summer season as a bench player.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11209, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "66f785498ef5d367682ed741b36e87ae42fedd7b", "raw_chars": 3488, "clean_chars": 3196, "edit_ratio": 0.2795, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This week we report on the continuing debate about female ejaculation: is it real, and if so, why does it happen?\n\nEjaculation is just one of the aspects of female sexuality that are being demystified by research. In particular, the female orgasm, the subject of so many myths and folk beliefs, is gradually being understood.\n\nFollowing some intense field research, here are some of the key facts about the female orgasm, as revealed by modern science.\n\nThe G Spot Is Real\n\nThe G spot is a small region in the vagina that, if stimulated, can produce wildly intense orgasms—or so the popular claim goes. However, for decades, strong evidence for the region’s existence was harder to find than the spot itself.\n\nHowever, in 2008, an Italian research team found anatomical differences between women who could have G-spot orgasms and women who couldn’t, apparently solving the mystery. The researchers have since begun teaching women with G spots how to put them to use.\n\nThe Brain Switches Off\n\nIt’s folk wisdom that people can’t think straight when they have sex on their minds, but when women have an orgasm, most of their brains switch off.\n\nA brain scanning study showed that many areas of women’s brains were deactivated during orgasm, including those involved in emotion. The effect was less striking in men, but that may be because male orgasms are so short they are hard to detect in a brain scan.\n\nMany Women Can’t Have Orgasms\n\nAccording to a 1999 survey, around 43 percent of women in the US have some sort of problem with their sex lives (Journal of the American Medical Association, vol 281, page 537).\n\nFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) is so common that the very idea that it is a medical disorder has come under attack. If nearly half the female population has a problem, say critics, does that mean it is our society that is dysfunctional?\n\nEven so, efforts to develop drugs to treat it are underway. The impotence drug Viagra has had mixed results in women, but there are many other avenues being explored.\n\nGenes Affect Orgasm Frequency\n\nAccording to the first genetic study of the female orgasm, up to 45 percent of the variation in women’s ability to have them could be down to genes.\n\nMany women never have orgasms during intercourse, and some also cannot have them through masturbation. Some of this may be down to external factors like upbringing, but the study showed the genetic factor is significant.\n\nTechnology Can Help\n\nPerhaps the most extreme solution is the so-called “orgasmatron,” an implant inserted into the spinal cord, which stimulates the user when switched on via a remote control.\n\nDespite an initial struggle to find subjects for clinical testing, the device is now in development.\n\nSome Mystery Remains\n\nThe female orgasm is a puzzle for evolutionary biologists. It is unclear why women should have orgasms at all, and it is particularly baffling that so many women should be unable to have orgasms during penetrative sex, but able to have them by masturbation.\n\nAccording to researcher Elisabeth Lloyd, that implies that female orgasms are an evolutionary accident. Like male nipples, they persist simply because there is no good reason to get rid of them.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11214, "chunk_idx": 11, "raw_sha1": "9d35bba3bfceaa8701aaa0085b3dd8b49765fd44", "raw_chars": 2473, "clean_chars": 2590, "edit_ratio": 0.4794, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Direct detection of Borrelia burgdorferi from Lyme disease patient samples remains a significant challenge. The bacterium requires cultivation in a complex medium for eight to twelve weeks before a culture can be definitively ruled as negative, rendering this approach impractical for routine clinical use. Recent studies have sought to enhance the utility of culture methods by modifying protocols. For instance, one approach involves using 60 ml of BSK medium in a closed tube, incubated at 32–33°C for eight to twelve weeks. Another study utilized 15 ml and 2 ml starter cultures, then seeded a long-term culture in a caliper jar with 15 ml of fresh BSK medium after six days, incubating for up to 16 weeks at 34°C. Variations that improved culture growth included the addition of serum, a reducing agent, and rifampicin.\n\nUsing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to confirm bacterial isolation increases sensitivity compared to visual confirmation through staining with acridine orange, dark-field microscopy, or fluorescent microscopy. The likelihood of successfully culturing B. burgdorferi depends on the specimen type, the stage of Lyme disease, and the laboratory technician's experience. In early Lyme disease, a biopsy sample from an erythema migrans lesion taken within the first week of symptoms yields the highest sensitivity. In contrast, early disseminated infections show higher sensitivity when isolation is attempted on large-volume plasma samples.\n\nBacterial isolation has achieved limited success with late manifestations of Lyme disease and with cerebrospinal fluid and synovial fluid samples. Research continues to focus on improving both the sensitivity and speed of culture methods. Recent papers claiming major breakthroughs in B. burgdorferi isolation have either failed validation or could not be replicated by other researchers.\n\nPCR detection of B. burgdorferi DNA in patient samples faces many of the same limitations as culture, with the exceptions that results can be obtained more quickly and PCR may be more sensitive in samples with low bacterial concentrations. However, the variability of methodologies, gene targets, and primers across different studies continues to impact the interpretation of PCR results. Overall, the sensitivities of PCR studies conducted in North America were lower than those employing a two-tiered serology diagnostic protocol. Due to these limitations, bacterial isolation and PCR are not routinely used as diagnostic tools in clinical practice, although bacterial isolation remains the gold standard for confirming a diagnosis.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11216, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "94bdd0c4782a77146b96c9f403d4248250a10dc4", "raw_chars": 3278, "clean_chars": 3290, "edit_ratio": 0.0189, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "America’s role as the world’s economic superpower was established in the period between 1870 and the start of the First World War. The country boomed, immigrants arrived in their millions, and the wealthy amassed fortunes. Even now, the names are familiar: John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and the Vanderbilt family. They called it the Gilded Age.\n\nNever before had America’s superrich had it so good, and until recently, it was assumed they would never have it so good again. Yet the 2017 billionaires report compiled by the Swiss bank UBS and the consultancy firm PwC finds that the clock would have to be turned back to 1905—when the Russians were having a trial run for their revolution and Queen Victoria had been dead only four years—to find a time when wealth was so concentrated.\n\nA separate study by the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington produced similar findings. Bill Gates, who founded Microsoft, Jeff Bezos, the man behind Amazon, and the investor Warren Buffett own as much wealth between them as the poorer half of the American population—160 million people, it found. The trio are the Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt of the modern age.\n\nThis is not simply a US phenomenon. China looks very much like the US of the late 19th century, with fast growth, rising real incomes for industrial workers, and the rise of a new cadre of superrich people.\n\nJosef Stadler, the author of the UBS/PwC report, said, “We are now two years into the peak of the second Gilded Age,” and he added that the 1,542 dollar billionaires around the world were concerned about how concentrated wealth has become. But not, it seems, concerned enough to do anything about it. The rich show real tenacity when it comes to holding on to their wealth and the system that generates it. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) describes it as rentier capitalism, whereby the stifling of competition allows excess profits to be made.\n\nUnder a properly functioning free-market economy, this is not supposed to happen. The economist Joseph Schumpeter said it was acceptable for an entrepreneur, say Gates or Bezos, to make excess profits temporarily if they had come up with a genuinely new product. But these rents would not last for long because rivals would quickly enter the market, bringing an end to the monopoly as there were no intellectual property rights (IPRs) to defend them. They were the reward for thinking ahead of the curve.\n\nThere are cases where the use of IPRs can be justified. Patents are widely used by the pharmaceutical industry to prevent cheaper alternatives. The justification is that the development of new drugs is hugely expensive and that without the chance to make excess profits there would be no incentive to come up with life-saving products.\n\nThe UNCTAD report, though, says that market-leading companies are abusing IPRs to ensure that they can see off potential rivals.\n\n“Large firms use patent protection to raise barriers to entry in an industry and bolster their own market power. Thus, superstar firms benefitting from erecting initial technological barriers to entry can use this advantage to further expand their market power in other ways, for example through pricing strategies that make new entrants nonviable,” it said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11220, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "e8e938d2c2e2f348a4acc49aeb47d4b07c74a50b", "raw_chars": 3218, "clean_chars": 3630, "edit_ratio": 0.8347, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In the second episode, Kuuko defeats Nyarko in battle and then ties her down on a four-poster bed. Later, at the end of Episode 6, Nyarko attempts to lure Mahiro into her bed. In both instances, the aggressor interprets the action as an expression of love, while the victim successfully fights them off.\n\nSeveral characters frequently display expressions of shock. Nyarko practically begged for the opportunity to protect Mahiro after seeing his picture, demonstrating a clear bodyguard crush. The series also employs a boke and tsukkomi routine, with Nyarko playing the fool and Mahiro serving as the straight man.\n\nThe narrative features bookends, as both the first and final battles take place in the same location, with the latter even beginning in a similar manner. The show borrows catchphrases from other series, with nearly the entire cast telling someone to \"count up their crimes\" at least once, a clear nod to Kamen Rider Double. Mahiro's recurring line, \"That doesn't make any sense,\" is borrowed from Doraemon and is used by other characters, most notably Nyarko in the second episode.\n\nNyarko uses Buffy Speak when asked about the crowbar she was holding, describing it as \"some kind of unspeakable bar thing.\" The trope of forced participation is spoofed in the Nyaruani episode titled \"RPG,\" where Nyarko describes a popular role-playing game set in space. In this game, monsters defeated may wish to join the player's party, offering only \"Yes\" or \"Yeah\" as choices, only to subsequently demand payment or refuse to help.\n\nThe story explores a Cain and Abel dynamic between Nyarko and her older brother, Nyar-o. Nyar-o ran away from home because he struggled academically, while Nyarko was a child prodigy who topped a prestigious university, whereas he had to drop out of a lower-tier college. He blames her for his downfall, citing an incident where she hit his head during a game of space gateball, and attempts to antagonize her after he acquires his own Full Force Form, though his efforts are somewhat lackluster.\n\nCallbacks appear throughout the series. In Episode 11, Nyarko uses the Mirror of Nitocris to suck back the Shaggai hornets she intended to eat as barbecue at Mahiro's request. Mahiro then remembers that this was the same mirror that allowed them to switch bodies, leading to uncomfortable implications about what it might have done to him. In the OVA Haiyore! Nyarko-san F, Mahiro repeats Nyarko's line from the first episode: \"It's not a crime if no one finds out.\"\n\nCharacters Isurugi and Isuka call out their attacks in Episode 10, prompting Mahiro to question if they are grade school children. Nyarko also tells Mahiro to call her name if he ever needs her. The concept of Calvinball is represented by Space CQC, which is explicitly defined as whatever the user claims it to be, regardless of the opponent's disagreement.\n\nThe series features cameos from characters in other light novel series, such as Miyamasanchi no Berutein, written by Aisora, and Rl'yeh High School, illustrated by Koin. These characters often appear in the background, with the two main girls from the latter series appearing as Mahiro's classmates. In turn, Mahiro, Nyarko, and Yoriko appear as minor characters in the former.\n\nVarious canon foreigners appear across different media. In the yonkoma format, Nakko, a nightgaunt stuck in a little girl's form and left behind on Earth after the Nodens incident, appears. In the Nyaruani series, Nyarue, Nyarko's overly excitable cousin, is featured.

This title is an inverted version of the standard dating simulation genre, featuring Sanity (SAN) as a core stat. Rather than the player trying to win the affection of the girls, the girls attempt to make the player fall for them. The player's SAN points represent their resistance to the advances of a yandere stalker with a crush. If the player loses enough SAN, they end up trapped with the girl forever, wallowing in mutual insanity. It is a game that certainly lives up to its title.\n\nThis premise also serves as the setup for Episode 8. The characters find themselves trapped in Doki Doki High School until Mahiro successfully romances one of the four main girls: Nyarko, Cuuko, Hasta, or Tamao. This episode features a deep-immersion gaming scenario where all the main characters are sucked into the dating sim.\n\nIn Episode 7 of the second season, a deserted island scenario plays out. After Mahiro falls into the water and awakens, Nyarko tells him they are stranded on a deserted island. However, Mahiro quickly points out that they are still inside the swimming park. As if to prove him right, several people walk by, and the camera angle shifts to reveal the shops on the other side of their location.\n\nThe series also plays with the trope of confronting cosmic entities. In one instance, a Nightgaunt is defeated, which serves as a subversion since Nyarko is an Outer God disguised as a schoolgirl. This trope is played straight with Mahiro, who frequently threatens Nyarko with a fork.\n\nRomance with a cosmic entity is another recurring theme. For Nyarlathotep, it was love at first sight. Mahiro's situation is different; while he is obviously attracted to Nyarko, he acts tsundere because she is too much of a manic pixie dream girl for his tastes. He is also afraid that she is lying about her feelings to mess with his head, much like the original Nyarlathotep would likely do. However, he does improve over the course of the novels.\n\nA running gag in the series involves disappointed motives. By the end of each story arc, it is revealed that almost every villain's goal was related to Japanese pop culture and was completely absurd. The first villains attempted to kidnap Mahiro so he could star in the film adaptation of a boy's love manga, and the motives only get sillier from there.\n\nIn the Nyaruani episode titled \"Loyalty,\" a dog fight scenario occurs. Nyarko becomes jealous of how much Shanta-kun seems to like Mahiro. Shanta responds by suggesting they settle it with a fight. Shanta ultimately chooses Nyarko, though only after some percussive persuasion.\n\nDisproportionate retribution is also a theme. In Episode 10, the Yith, or at least an extremist space moral guardian cult among them, wish to destroy Earth because they believe it is corrupting the morals of space aliens with Earth's entertainment. In Episode 12, Ghutatan's butler wants to get rid of Mahiro because the latter makes it difficult for him to obtain erotic games.\n\nIn the light novels, a backstory reveals that Nyarko and Cuuko used to beat up their grade-school classmate, Nyogta, for bullying Hasta. As an adult, Nyogta gets his revenge by erasing the girls from existence.\n\nFinally, the trope of being distracted by the sexy is used in Episode 6. Nyarko uses this against Cuuko by throwing out pictures and claiming they are of her in a swimsuit. This distracts Cuuko long enough for Nyarko to hit her with a finishing blow. The pictures were actually of Mahiro, taken from various angles.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11221, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b37758d71d07894ceaa04972d4e291240f95e6f5", "raw_chars": 3061, "clean_chars": 2691, "edit_ratio": 0.5574, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Malaysia and China have agreed to settle South China Sea-related issues through the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and to accelerate the completion of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC). Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman announced the agreement following a meeting with visiting Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi at Wisma Putra in Putrajaya on May 10.\n\nSpeaking to reporters after the meeting, Anifah noted that the discussions included concerns over Chinese fishermen encroaching into Malaysian waters. \"We raised our concern and he said he will look into it. We believe that between friends we should be able to find solutions,\" Anifah said. He added that while Malaysia and China are not direct neighbors, they share the South China Sea, making such issues inevitable. \"We are bound to have that kind of problems,\" he remarked, noting that Malaysia also faces similar encroachment issues with Indonesia due to overlapping maritime areas.\n\nConsequently, Anifah stated that both nations have pledged to resolve all disputes through the DOC and expedite the COC. This follows reports from March of the year, when approximately 100 China-registered vessels were detected encroaching into Malaysian waters near Beting Patinggi Ali. In response, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry summoned Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Dr. Huang Huikang to seek clarification and register Malaysia's concerns.\n\nThe overlapping territorial maritime claims in the South China Sea involve Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, in addition to China. These disputes led to the signing of the DOC in 2002 between ASEAN and China, aiming to pave the way for the COC as a guideline to prevent friction in the region.\n\nElaborating on Yang's visit, Anifah, who considers the former Chinese foreign minister a close friend, emphasized that the visit underscored the strong ties between the two nations. They also discussed bilateral relations, economic cooperation, and strategies to boost trade and investment. \"Because of Malaysia's close relationship with China, we sincerely believe that we should be able to talk to each other about problems that we may have, provided we continue to keep the communication and engagement open,\" Anifah said.\n\nYang arrived in Malaysia for a two-day working visit, marking his fourth trip to the country as State Councillor.

Smuggling of these cultural artifacts occurs, and some psychotic Moral Guardians believe the influence is so detrimental that they should destroy the entire planet.\n\nThe show plays with Lovecraft's taste for colorful, archaic adjectives and words. Nyarko sometimes gives ominous, long descriptions of mundane things. For example, after Mahiro alerts her to a Nightgaunt attack with a bump on the head, Nyarko remarks, \"I'm suffering from abnormal and blasphemous amounts of ominously chaotic pain.\"\n\nIn a hilarious subversion of the discretion shot trope, the end of episode 6 shows Nyarko managing to get herself alone with Mahiro at night in his room after ensuring all her rivals won't interfere. The episode ends with her making her move on a terrorized Mahiro, followed by a flower dropping to the floor in the next room. The very next episode reveals that Mahiro managed to fight back and restrain her using a bedsheet and a lot of forks. This does not prevent her from lying about what really happened.\n\nDespite being sent to kidnap him, Mahiro even feels sympathy for the Nightgaunt who takes a mighty kick to the groin.\n\nThe series contains numerous shout-outs, which have their own subpage to preserve the main page's sanity.\n\nIn episode 10 of season 2, Nyarko catches a fever.\n\nNyarko and Hasuta are single-target in their sexuality towards Mahiro, and Kuuko towards Nyarko. This is subverted with Kuuko, who falls for Mahiro.\n\nSlapstick knows no gender in this series, as the comical abuse actually comes from Mahiro using a fork to stop Nyarko's crazed binges and unsolicited advances.\n\nThose not familiar with the expanded Mythos might not know Cthugha or Atlach-Nacha.

Additionally, Elder Gods, Great Old Ones, and Outer Gods are not synonymous.\n\nThe Planetary Defense Organization has sent Nyarko to stop a smuggling and human-trafficking ring.\n\nNyarko and Cuuko refer to the alien equivalents of concepts like CQC and Kindergarten by simply adding the word \"Space\" before them. Mahiro points out, \"You can't just add 'space' to everything.\"\n\nThe Great Old Ones have unpronounceable names, and transliterating those names into katakana reveals why Nyarko, Cuuko, and Hastua are spelled inconsistently. Nyarko's name is supposed to be \"Nyarlathotep\" combined with the Japanese suffix \"-ko,\" which makes the name feminine. This means Nyaruko, Nyarko, and Nyarlko are all perfectly valid English spellings until Aisora-sensei steps in and clarifies which one is correct. Even other wikis are confused on the spelling, sometimes using \"Nyaruko.\"\n\nIn the first episode of the 2012 series, all the girls in Mahiro's P.E. class do a simultaneous squeal when Tamao falsely says that Mahiro admitted to being attracted to Nyarko.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11220, "chunk_idx": 19, "raw_sha1": "2d9c7b6661acb24441c3f43fa1379de95a4d1047", "raw_chars": 3431, "clean_chars": 3483, "edit_ratio": 0.2618, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A 10-year-anniversary premium cake was made by D.

It turns out that scene is just a shout-out to Urusei Yatsura, and Ghutatan is just as much a victim of the time loop as Mahiro. In episode 9 of season 2, the school is taken over, and the main characters initially blame Cuune since they are attacked by fire guardians. They end up running into another Cthugha who challenges them to a contest to release the students, or force them to take part if they lose. It turns out Cuune had nothing to do with any of this, as she was off getting the newest Dagomon game.

The Chinese translation of the novels actually includes an appendix at the end of each volume detailing every reference made, which adds up to about ten pages per volume.\n\nIn one of the later novels, Nyarko and Cuuko get written out of existence by Nyogta, a grade-school classmate of theirs whom they beat up for bullying Hasta.

Obviously, I've tried to make it look a little more luxurious with some signatures, etc., but I'm still working on perfecting that. I'm still working on a better design as always.

The 68-year-old was one of six NLD members in Suu Kyi’s big-tent cabinet, which includes three army officers as well as opposition party figures.\n\nAn official CV issued by the NLD shortly after the cabinet announcement stated that Kyaw Win, a career bureaucrat and adviser to the NLD’s economics committee, held a PhD from a college in the United States called Brooklyn Park University. However, social media users quickly pointed out that Brooklyn Park was one of a number of “fake online organisations” allegedly created by a Pakistani group that ran a “fraudulent degree empire” out of Karachi until its exposure last year.\n\n“I openly admit it that I studied at this fake online university in my older age,” Kyaw Win, who confirmed he would take on the finance portfolio, said. He explained how, like many others in junta-run Myanmar, he had a thirst for education but little opportunity to study abroad. “Education has been my dream since I was young. I never stopped studying my whole life. But I could not study abroad because I did not have enough money,” he said.\n\nKyaw Win said he did not discover the degree was fake until the news spread on Facebook after his cabinet nomination on Tuesday, an experience he described as “really painful”. Myanmar has undergone a dramatic political transformation since 2011 after almost a half-century of isolation under a military junta. Its growing political openness was crowned by a historic November election that saw the NLD storm to victory.\n\nSuu Kyi, 70, is the only woman on the incoming cabinet. There is widespread speculation she will take on four ministerial portfolios: foreign affairs, education, energy and the president’s office. Blocked from becoming president by a junta-era constitution because she married and had children with a foreigner, she has vowed to rule through a proxy president, the recently elected Htin Kyaw.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11249, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "0fe11ceb7422e22fe549f5ae2764fbe1ea37ec99", "raw_chars": 1733, "clean_chars": 1784, "edit_ratio": 0.4274, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Securities and Exchange Commission can target repeat violations.

Many of the most famous American animated films, particularly those produced by Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, unconsciously developed a relatively consistent set of these \"laws,\" which have become standard in comic animation. These rules typically involve objects behaving according to how they appear to the cartoon characters or what the characters expect, rather than how they objectively exist. A common example is when a cartoon character runs off a cliff; gravity has no effect until the character notices the drop.\n\nAs animator Art Babbitt of Walt Disney Studios once said, \"Animation follows the laws of physics—unless it is funnier otherwise.\"\n\nSpecific references to cartoon physics date back to at least June 1980, when an article titled \"O'Donnell's Laws of Cartoon Motion\" appeared in Esquire. A version of this article was later printed in 1994 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in its journal, helping to spread the concept among technical audiences who have since expanded and refined the idea. These laws are now outlined on dozens of websites.\n\nO'Donnell's examples include the principle that any body suspended in space will remain suspended until it becomes aware of its situation. For instance, a character stepping off a cliff remains in midair until looking down, at which point the familiar principle of gravity takes over. Another rule states that a body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter, also known as the silhouette of passage. Additionally, the time required for an object to fall twenty stories is often greater than or equal to the time it takes for the character who knocked it off to spiral down twenty flights in an attempt to capture it unbroken. Such objects are inevitably priceless, and the attempt to capture them is inevitably unsuccessful.\n\nOther principles include the negation of gravity by fear, and the use of psychic forces to propel characters away from surfaces. A spooky noise or an adversary's signature sound can introduce upward motion, often sending a character to the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a running character or the wheels of a speeding car need never touch the ground, meaning that fleeing can turn into flight. As speed increases, objects can appear in several places at once.\n\nCertain bodies can pass through a solid wall painted to resemble a tunnel entrance, while others cannot. Whoever paints an entrance on a wall to trick an opponent will be unable to pursue them into this theoretical space, often being flattened against the wall when attempting to follow. This is ultimately a problem of art, not science. Furthermore, any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. Cartoon cats possess more deaths than even the traditional nine lives afford. They can be sliced, splayed, accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self-pity, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify.\n\nThe idea that cartoons behave differently from the real world, but not randomly, is virtually as old as animation itself. Walt Disney, for example, spoke of the \"plausible impossible\" in 1956 on an episode of the Disneyland television program.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11247, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "98e0953faecd2ace1b7ddf5d3a1b657d7ed9c04b", "raw_chars": 3443, "clean_chars": 3402, "edit_ratio": 0.0101, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Similarly, brain metabolism in these midline structures is severely disrupted in patients in VS/UWS and MCS compared to patients who have emerged from the MCS or are in a locked-in syndrome (Figure ; Thibaut et al., 2012). It has been further proposed that deactivation of the DMN is supposed to reflect interruptions of introspective processes. Such investigation in patients showed that, compared to healthy controls, deactivation in medial regions of the DMN was absent in patients in VS/UWS and reduced in patients in MCS (Crone et al., 2011). Taken together, studies of spontaneous activity in patients suggest that changes in the DMN functional connectivity could suggest modified self-related conscious mentation. Indeed, it has been suggested that in normal waking conditions, resting state activity in the posterior cingulate, and frontal areas accounts for self-referential thoughts (Whitfield-Gabrieli et al., 2011; Fingelkurts et al., 2012). Therefore, it could be inferred that decreased connectivity in these midline regions of the DMN reflects, at least to certain degree, restricted abilities for self-referential processing in patients with disorders of consciousness.\n\nThe Self as a Product of a Dynamic System Approach Since the early studies of resting state, it has been suggested that the brain’s baseline activity can be organized in two brain networks showing anticorrelated activity to each other: an “intrinsic” and an “extrinsic” network (Fox et al., 2005; Fransson, 2005; Golland et al., 2007; Tian et al., 2007). The “intrinsic” network coincides with the DMN and is involved in the same cognitive processes as the DMN. The “extrinsic” system encompasses lateral frontoparietal areas resembling the brain activations during goal-directed behavior and it has been linked to cognitive processes of external sensory input, such as somatosensory (e.g., Boly et al., 2007), visual (e.g., Dehaene and Changeux, 2005), and auditory (e.g., Brunetti et al., 2008). Previous studies showed that these two systems are of a competing character in the sense that they can disturb or even interrupt each other (e.g., Tian et al., 2007). Such anticorrelated pattern is also illustrated in activation studies on motor performance (Fox et al., 2007), perceptual discrimination (Sapir et al., 2005), attentional lapses (Weissman et al., 2006), and somatosensory perception of stimuli close to somatosensory threshold (Boly et al., 2007). We have recently proposed that these two systems may account for the phenomenological complexity of awareness. In particular, it is proposed that awareness, or the contents of consciousness, can be reduced to two components, namely the “external” awareness or everything we perceive through our senses (what we see, hear, feel, smell, and taste) and “internal” awareness or stimulus-independent thoughts (Demertzi et al., 2013). Interestingly, the switch between the external and internal milieu was found not only to characterize overt behavioral reports but also had a cerebral correlate (Vanhaudenhuyse et al., 2011). More particularly, it was shown that behavioral reports of internal awareness were linked to the activity of midline anterior cingulate/mesiofrontal areas as well as posterior cingulate/precuneal cortices. Conversely, subjective ratings for external awareness correlated with the activity of lateral fronto-parieto-temporal regions.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11256, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "279e627b521e54ec23596a59285f342adb1b8d1a", "raw_chars": 1486, "clean_chars": 1508, "edit_ratio": 0.3146, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It would be an extremely bold move for the club, and specifically for the manager at the time, to bring in the Belgian as the undisputed number one.

If Superfish became the industry norm, it would endanger not just individual users, but everyone from Amazon to Google, who would have to scramble to keep their data secure.\n\nSuperfish's attack is particularly dangerous because SSL is invisible. We see the little green lock and have the option to inspect the certificate behind it, but we almost never do. We trust that someone else has checked it for us. When there is a certificate hack—like the one that got GoGo in trouble earlier this year—it often goes undiscovered for months.

Some retailers impose surcharges on customers who choose to pay by credit card, while others offer discounts for those who pay with cash. \"Whether it's a surcharge or a discount, it contravenes the law,\" Ravalo explained. \"The law states that whether I pay with my card or with cash, the price should be the same.\"\n\nHe urged affected customers to document the details of the products they intended to purchase and raise the issue with the store manager. If the store refuses to honor the fair price, customers can file a formal complaint with the BSP. To date, the central bank has received approximately 33,000 customer complaints since January 2009.\n\nRavalo highlighted that unauthorized withdrawals and transactions are another common complaint. He reminded consumers to keep their cards safe and their passwords secure. \"Even if you lose your card, thieves won't be able to use it if they don't have your PIN (personal identification number),\" he said.

The iOS SDK facilitates easy data storage, and Firebase Simple Login supports iOS, meaning user authentication can be handled without custom server code.\n\nWebhooks\n\nThe Cloudcode Hooks API in Parse Server allows you to access information and perform actions programmatically that were previously only possible through the Parse dashboard. You can create new webhooks and modify, delete, or list existing ones quickly and easily via the Hooks API.\n\nThis API introduces several new functionalities to the Parse ecosystem. For instance, it enables you to test your Cloud Code in a local environment before deploying it. You can run your code locally and use a tunneling service like ngrok or ultrahook to map your local HTTP endpoints to public URLs. Then, using the Hooks API, you can dynamically create or modify webhooks for your app to be served by your test environment.\n\nIn Firebase, the webhooks feature can be realized using child_added and child_removed events. Suppose you want to attach a webhook server-side to the connect and disconnect events that fire in Firebase so that you can count users in Elasticsearch records. You can use a Node.js client that subscribes to the same events on the member paths and sets listeners on child_added and child_removed. A regular Firebase client would accept user input and send it to Firebase, then listen for changes in Firebase and update the user’s screen. This Node.js client, however, would listen for changes in Firebase and update the data in Firebase based on those changes.\n\nLogging\n\nUsing Parse Server, it is easy to view Cloud Code logs using the command-line tool if a throw block was added in the code. The dashboard feature in Parse Server makes API consoles also visible. But console.log and console.error were useful to log messages. Back4app has tweaked these and they are made available for users.\n\nFirebase Crash Reporting creates detailed reports of the errors in your app. Errors are grouped into clusters of similar stack traces and triaged by the severity of impact on your users. In addition to automatic reports, you can log custom events to help capture the steps leading up to a crash.\n\nFirebase Crash Reporting does not itself collect any personally identifiable information, such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. Developers can collect additional data using Crash Reporting with log and exception messages. Such data collected through Crash Reporting should not contain information that personally identifies an individual to Google.\n\nHere is an example of a log message that does not contain personally identifiable information:\n\nFirebaseCrash.log(\"SQL database failed to initialize\");\n\nFirebaseCrash is able to get the OutOfMemoryError and it sends the crash to the console.

Any comment on the current state of things is complicated by comparisons that beg to be made: Wasn't it always thus? Has it really gotten any worse? Hasn't it, in some ways, only gotten better?\n\nBut here is another question: Can we say that we conduct our politics in a sufficiently forthright manner? Maybe the answer to that question can only ever be no. Maybe we should only ever demand more and more. But consider how poorly we fare now. How little we seem to be able to know. How unable our politicians seem to be to have a conversation about much of anything. How unwilling we seem to be to hear anything more than that our taxes will be lowered.\n\nThe government's primary method of communication is publicly funded television ads that offer little more than slogans—\"Responsible Resource Development,\" \"Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity.\" The access to information system remains a mess. We know relatively little about how the government plans to balance the federal budget. Presumably, the consolidation of the government's computer systems will solve most of the shortfall. The government introduced a Parliamentary Budget Officer, but seems reluctant to cooperate with it. Elsewhere there is mostly nonsense. The debate over resource development and climate change is mostly about the patriotic quality of the Keystone XL pipeline, the degree to which a carbon tax might destroy everything you hold dear, and whether or not you approve of jobs. The issue of further reducing crime apparently depends on whether you side with criminals or the law-abiding. Is there an alternative approach to which to aspire? It is difficult to say. The New Democrats seem to have learned some lessons from Conservative success. Justin Trudeau's promise remains a fuzzy dream.\n\nOur political representatives might not actually think we are idiots, but they would seem to understand that we are not paying terribly close attention and comport themselves accordingly. The talking point has made an ability to discuss mostly unnecessary. A willingness to discuss is basically to be discouraged. If you're explaining, you're losing. At the very least, we would not seem generally interested in much of a discussion. It is now maybe less an exercise in humanity than a matter of marketing: a battle between pitchmen, a contest of commercial mascots. Twas ever thus, perhaps. But while the free flow of information and expression has seemed to become something we prize as one of the principles of our era, our politicians have made message control their preeminent hallmark of competence.\n\nAnd perhaps that is not an entirely unworthy goal, but now, in these moments of crisis, our political actors seem incapable of reacting sufficiently. Mr. Ford is now nearly a walking satire of modern politics: enthusing about lower taxes even as nearly everything else about the governance of the city of Toronto seems to be chaos.\n\nAt some point such grousing about the present becomes a pointless plea that someone should do something to make things somehow better.

Back then, in 1954, it was Egypt and its president, Gamal Abdel Nasser.\n\nDue to exhaustion from previous wars, the American-led West appeared to be retreating from the region. The way to drag the United States back in - on Israel's side - seemed simple, in the planners' view: The solution was to attack American targets in Egypt and make it seem as if the perpetrators were Egyptians. That incident became known as the Lavon Affair, or the \"rotten business,\" and gave rise to an ongoing debate over \"who gave the order.\"\n\nThis time, the order is both more complex and more dangerous. It's just like Barak's plans for Operation Accountability in 1993, in which Lebanese civilians were supposed to flee the shelling and pressure the Lebanese government to oblige Syria to rein in Hezbollah: The current plan is meant to spark Iranian attacks on American targets that will drag America into the war.\n\nThe current Israeli chatter about attacking Iran isn't meant to spur sanctions and a diplomatic solution. Netanyahu doesn't believe that will work, and he's convinced that Obama won't attack of his own initiative - not before November, and not afterward.\n\nThe goal of the Israeli maneuvering is simple - to generate American chatter that will prepare the ground for dragging the United States into the battle following the Israeli strike.

The term 'baby fever,' which is sometimes used derisively, was coined to denote the intense desire for children that many people experience without being able to fully explain it, and possibly in the face of their own analysis of the arguments for and against having a child. Some preliminary psychological research suggests the phenomenon has complex origins and is observable in both men and women.\n\nIt is clear that the longing for children that some people experience cannot be overcome by clearly viewing the obstacles to and pitfalls of parenthood. The nature of this desire can be so strong that even when achieving parenthood seems impossible, people’s wish to become parents will drive them to extraordinary efforts. Fertility clinics treat patients prepared to endure years of waiting, followed by uncomfortable and invasive testing, difficult procedures, and at least a 65% chance of failure in an effort to become parents. If they were able to rationalize themselves out of wanting children, they would stop before exhausting every possible resource—medical, emotional, and financial—in efforts to start a family that might span a decade. In light of this reality, the rationalist suggestion I have encountered—that one guard against a desire to become a parent by pre-emptively being sterilized before the desire has arisen—seems a recipe for psychological disaster.\n\nI don’t have the answer to the origin of the longing for children that many experience. It’s almost certainly due to a complex mixture of biological and social factors. It might even be an evolutionary trick. However, the fact remains that this desire is real and difficult to manage if unfulfilled. It can’t be simply discounted or argued away as irrational. It needs to form part of our considerations in whether or not we choose to attempt to become parents, because we must consider how tenable it is to sacrifice our chance to fulfill these desires.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11342, "chunk_idx": 10, "raw_sha1": "84311bba90df75f63c41a192c0d43f6acc62e0f1", "raw_chars": 1163, "clean_chars": 1170, "edit_ratio": 0.0159, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Smith story remains interesting.

Arizona’s blitzes failed to get home far too frequently, and when they did get pressure on Newton, he was consistently able to elude the pass rush to step away and either find an open receiver or scramble for a big play. Arizona sacked Newton only once and knocked him down on a mere three occasions, with Newton scrambling to pick up consecutive third-and-longs to start the second half, including one where he lured rookie spy Deone Bucannon too far to one side before slipping out the other direction for a conversion.\n\nAs with the Colts-Bengals game, this really needn’t have been this close of a contest, as the Panthers left some plays on the field. With little meaningful pass pressure, they were able to go after the weak links in the Arizona defense. Philly Brown did a number on Cromartie before leaving late in the second quarter with a shoulder injury. Lumbering tight end Ed Dickson repeatedly got open on, of all things, a pair of wheel routes that could have been touchdowns, only for Newton to miss the first one versus Cover 3 and narrowly overthrow the second one with Sam Acho in coverage. Dickson had more success versus an overmatched, gimpy Larry Foote. Carolina didn’t even really need to throw the football; it ran the ball 41 times for a total of 188 yards, and it felt like Carolina didn’t pound the rock quite enough.\n\nThe Panthers graduate to a far more terrifying fate, a road trip to Seattle to face the Seahawks as 11-point underdogs. After being written off at 3-8-1, you would forgive Carolina for feeling like it has nothing to lose. As for the Cardinals, nobody will feel like they lost more, given how impressive their 9-1 start had been and what little they could do once they lost Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton. There’s almost nothing they could have done; there just aren’t enough quarterbacks in the world for a team to have a viable third-string passer, and the chances a team will simultaneously be competitive enough to play meaningful football in January while also being stuck with their third-stringer are virtually nil. Every team has to run risks with their roster construction, but this wasn’t a risk any team could have prepared for or survived.\n\nEven if it wasn’t their fault, the Cardinals have to be kicking themselves. This was probably the last game of Foote’s career. It may very likely be the last game of Fitzgerald’s Cardinals career, as his cap hit of $23.6 million for next year is simply untenable, regardless of what the Cardinals suggest publicly. (They could clear up more than $16 million in cap space for 2015 by releasing him as a post–June 1 cut, and they will surely pass on paying the $8 million roster bonus due Fitzgerald on the eighth day of the 2015 league year.)

It is actually quite comforting to know that your trash will be properly recycled. You will likely become a fan of green energy as well; it is simply contagious. I live in a nuclear-free country, and wind turbines have become an essential part of Germany's landscape. You will love seeing them from your train or bus while crossing the German countryside.\n\nThere is a Place for Everything\n\nIt is not just plastics and paper that can be sorted; in Germany, just about everything else has its own special place and rules. You might think the stereotype of German bureaucracy and paperwork is a myth, but it is not. Rules are followed to the letter in Germany. There is an office for everything, from registering your address at the local registration office to dealing with the public order office.\n\nThe rules go so far that even jaywalking is considered a serious offense. Trust me: try to cross an empty street when the traffic light is red. Just do not tell people I told you to do it. I have seen people screaming \"children killer\" at someone who crosses the street with a red light, because in good German logic, children see you breaking the law and will follow your example.\n\nSocial Media Will Always Help\n\nI do not think I could have effectively made Germany my home without a network of friends, those people who moved here around the same time, or the long-time locals I was lucky enough to meet in my early days living here. Starting out in a new country, you usually do not know many people in the beginning. I came to Berlin and knew no one.\n\nWhile Germans can be a bit formal, it is definitely possible to break through those tough exteriors. If you are relatively social, using social media should allow you to connect with new people wherever you are in Germany. Facebook and meetup groups connect you to local events, and through them it is easy to find out about cool things to do. I have also found it helpful to connect with other international people living in Germany, those who are in similar situations and probably have dealt with the same issues of bureaucracy. I could not have made it here so long without a strong network of other expats. Free networking websites like InterNations make it pretty easy to connect; they are one of the biggest expat communities worldwide and a good resource for asking questions. Sign up for free and maybe see you at one of the many Berlin meetups.\n\nGet Comfortable in Your Birthday Suit\n\nThere is a stereotype about Germans and nudity, as well as a more free-spirited approach to sexuality, but that is a different story. I can tell you after living in Berlin for four years that the stereotype about nudity is definitely true. Nudity is simply not an issue in Germany. That first summer when I went to a lake for a day of suntanning, the crowded beach was a bit of a shock: there were a lot of exposed bodies. It was quite a shock for this American.\n\nBut after that initial shock, I have come to realize that the Germans really know what they are doing.

I dismissed it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I found myself agreeing with Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels regarding Suggs's candidacy. It is worth remembering that Suggs entered the league as a 20-year-old and is still just 32, nine months younger than Cameron Wake. He has accumulated 106.5 career sacks and should probably add another 30 over the next four years. The only players with more than 135 sacks who are not in the Hall of Fame are Jason Taylor, who should be elected when he becomes eligible, and Kevin Greene, who has 160 sacks and is not in because, well, I have no idea.\n\nWe are also at a point where Suggs's postseason accolades are worth counting. He has played a full 16-game slate of playoff contests and accrued 12 sacks. The only players who have amassed more sacks in the postseason since the league started officially counting them in 1982 are Bruce Smith and Willie McGinest. Suggs has also taken over more than one game; he terrorized the Patriots in that 2009 blowout in Foxborough, took down Peyton Manning twice in the Rahim Moore game during the 2012 playoffs, and had three sacks against the Steelers the last time these two teams met in the 2010 playoffs.\n\nIt was also illuminating to see the Baltimore secondary making plays. While Antonio Brown got his because Antonio Brown is always going to get his, an anonymous group of Ravens defensive backs made big plays during this game. Those mostly involved Will Hill, the talented former Giants safety who was cut this offseason after being suspended for the third time in three years. The Ravens took a chance on Hill, let him sit out his six-game suspension, and found a player who immediately rose to the top of their depth chart. He is a dynamic, versatile safety who can cover far more of the field than it might seem at first glance, and Hill manages to combine a penchant for big hits without the frustrating capacity for overrunning the play that the likes of LaRon Landry often exhibit. Darian Stewart came up with a big shove to knock an open Brown out of bounds and break up a catch before finishing the game by intercepting Roethlisberger. Rashaan Melvin had a quietly impressive game.\n\nContrast that to the Steelers, who got little out of the big-ticket veterans in their secondary. Ike Taylor was inactive despite practicing through an ankle injury all week, and while I might speculate that he was scratched for his performance, he gave an all-time terrifying death stare to the cameras before the game. Troy Polamalu was somehow anonymous. Mike Mitchell, signed to a five-year deal this offseason, took a number of poor routes in coverage to create plays downfield and extended a Ravens drive with a helmet-to-helmet hit.\n\nThe Steelers found themselves dependent upon the likes of Brice McCain and Antwon Blake, and Blake in particular struggled. He somehow combined playing off coverage and missing a tackle on third-and-14 to extend one drive before committing a 32-yard defensive pass interference penalty on Torrey Smith. It was part of a huge penalty disparity for the Steelers, who committed eight infractions for 114 yards, while the Ravens committed two for just 14 yards.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11365, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "ddce7bc6af49d249de32a092efa48366361a48bf", "raw_chars": 2148, "clean_chars": 2197, "edit_ratio": 0.1452, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Jeremy: It’s in Alberta, and it’s one of the most polluting industries on our planet.

Do you let that success go to your head? Do you take a breather and relax and have trouble summoning the hunger you had that led to those good moments in the first place? It’s a natural tendency, and not just in sports, but everywhere, in your career or mine.\n\nIt’s especially hard if you’re the U.S. men’s national team and you had a good World Cup, advancing from a difficult group in a way that few had expected, and now you have to deal with a World Cup hangover, playing in games with lower stakes.\n\nBut that’s what we’ve seen from the U.S. since the end of the adrenalin rush that came with all the moments in Brazil 2014 that none of us, including the players, will ever forget.\n\nThe U.S. lost 4-1 to Ireland’s second-choice team on Tuesday, a dismal end to a calendar year that in the big picture has to be seen as positive, given the World Cup performance, but that concluded with just one victory in the final eight games. There was talk after the game of “growing pains,” as U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann put it, the inevitable issues that arise when you bring young players, some of them teenagers, into the national team for the first time.\n\nBut the bigger issue for the U.S. right now has nothing to do with growing pains and more to do with answering the question: How do you handle success? Nine of the 11 U.S. starters on Tuesday were on the World Cup team. They were the players who struggled the most, not the youngest guys.\n\n“We had some guys who were at the World Cup today, and we weren’t there,” said forward Jozy Altidore, who served as captain in the absence of Clint Dempsey. “We weren’t there in a lot of places on the field. It’s growing pains, but for some of the older guys it’s unacceptable, including myself. Those kinds of things can’t happen.”\n\n“We just didn’t come to play today,” Altidore added later. “And it’s been a trend the past few games.”\n\n“I feel like it’s something with our mentality maybe,” said midfielder Alejandro Bedoya. “I don’t know what it is. I can’t really pinpoint it. The last four games I feel like we’ve had results in our hands, had the game in our control, and we let it go. Whether it’s teams equalizing late or like tonight, when they scored the second goal and knocked the air out of us. You’ve just gotta pick it up.”\n\nFor years, the U.S. has had a tendency to play better at World Cups when less was expected of the team. But when the expectations rise, as they did after Brazil, the U.S. has often underperformed. And right now those doing the underperforming are the players who were in Brazil. Emotionally and physically they are spent, or not far from it. And it’s equally an issue for MLS-based and European-based U.S. players.\n\n“They have to learn emotionally how to digest a World Cup,” said Klinsmann after the game. “A lot of our players had big problems digesting those extreme emotions. They dropped 20, 30, even 40 percent in performances in their club environment. Many of the Europeans lost their starting spot ... They didn’t know how to deal with all these emotions and all the recognition and all the compliments after the World Cup.\n\n“In a certain way it’s human. It’s understandable.”\n\nKlinsmann sees it as a challenge for himself, too. “How do you manage the roster coming out of the World Cup with all the emotional things that happened in our country and get these players back on track?” he said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11373, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "d59516d77b2ab185e9d31a3714f8857b7b164c79", "raw_chars": 2350, "clean_chars": 2486, "edit_ratio": 0.0831, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Kipnis struggled through an injury-plagued 2014 and then got off to a slow start in April, leading many to wonder what happened to the All-Star player of 2013.

Kipnis ranks 10th in the majors in weighted on-base average (wOBA), and Brantley ranks 22nd.\n\n2. Josh Donaldson, Edwin Encarnacion, and Jose Bautista, Toronto Blue Jays\n\nYou can pick any combination you want here; heck, throw in Russell Martin, who is actually outhitting Encarnacion and Bautista right now.

On Monday, midfielder Brad Sewell said he would be \"very surprised\" if coach Alastair Clarkson chose the latter option. Brent Guerra, Max Bailey, and Paul Puopolo could all be available to face Geelong, making for a tough week at the selection table.\n\nThe inclusion of Jack Grimes is a huge bonus for the Melbourne team as it attempts to build on the confidence gained from its win over the Western Bulldogs.

And indeed, such an approach exists, but it's slower than traditional GC in practice (because it touches the entire the heap, not just the live data). In reality, garbage collection in Erlang is fairly vanilla. Processes start out using a straightforward compacting collector. If a process gets large, it is automatically switched over to a generational scheme. The generational collector is simpler than in some languages, because there's no way to have an older generation pointing to data in a younger generation (remember, you can't destructively modify a list or tuple in Erlang).\n\nThe key is that garbage collection in Erlang is per process. A system may have tens of thousands of processes, using a gigabyte of memory overall, but if GC occurs in a process with a 20K heap, then the collector only touches that 20K and collection time is imperceptible. With lots of small processes, you can think of this as a truly incremental collector. But there's still a lurking worst case in Erlang: What if all of those processes run out of memory more or less in the same wall-clock moment? And there's nothing preventing an application from using one massive process (such is the case with the Wings 3D modeller).\n\nPer-process GC allows a slick technique that can completely prevent garbage collection in some circumstances. Using spawn_opt instead of the more common spawn , you can specify the initial heap size for a process. If you know, as discovered through profiling, that a process rapidly grows up to 200K and then terminates, you can give that process an initial heap size of 200K. Data keeps getting added to the end of the heap, and then before garbage collection kicks in, the process heap is deleted and its contents are never scanned.\n\nThe other pragmatic approach to reducing the cost of garbage collection in Erlang is that lots of data is kept outside of the per-process heaps:\n\nBinaries > 64 bytes. Large binaries are allocated in a separate heap outside the scope of a process. Binaries can't, by definition, contain pointers to other data, so they're reference counted. If there's a 50MB binary loaded, it's guaranteed never to be copied as part of garbage collection.\n\nData stored in ETS tables. When you look up key in an ETS table, the data associated with that key is copied into the heap for the process the request originated from. For structurally large values (say, a tuple of 500 elements) the copy from ETS table space to the process heap may become expensive, but if there's 100MB of total data in a table, there's no risk of all that data being scanned at once by a garbage collector.\n\nData structure constants. This is new in Erlang.\n\nAtom names. Atom name strings are stored in a separate data area and are not garbage collected. In Lisp, it's common for symbol names to be stored on the main heap, which adds to garbage collection time. But that also means that dynamically creating symbols in Lisp is a reasonable approach to some problems, but it's not something you want to do in Erlang.\n\npermalink January 6, 2008\n\npreviously", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11396, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "68ba54169f17055e9192cffc36a18b03c8194057", "raw_chars": 1349, "clean_chars": 1232, "edit_ratio": 0.9101, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Johnny Manziel was attacked with drinks at a Houston nightclub this weekend after the Cleveland Browns quarterback got into an altercation with a group of hecklers.

The problem is that too many drivers love it too much. The price difference between on-the-street parking and putting a car in a downtown garage is so large—perhaps a couple of dollars per hour versus ten or fifteen dollars per hour—that hunting for one of the precious few available spots can seem like a somewhat sensible use of time, or at least not a total waste of time.\n\nSome would argue, however, that the situation described above is an enormous waste of resources. In a new op-ed in the Boston Globe, Edward L. Glaeser, an economist at Harvard, writes that on-street parking in popular, traffic-clogged U.S. cities should be much more expensive, perhaps even pricier than the rates charged in private parking garages. What about the idea that streets are communal, publicly funded spaces that should be readily available to the public at little to no cost? Glaeser is not buying it.\n\nJust because something is publicly provided does not mean that it should be free, or only $1.25 per hour. If a commodity is as scarce as land in Boston, we need a fair way of allocating it.\n\nTo Glaeser, a better and fairer use of on-street parking spaces would be to price them at or near the fees charged in off-street lots and garages.\n\nDrivers like me should not be bribed with more taxpayer-funded highways or underpriced on-street parking; we should be charged for the congestion we impose and the pollution we create. If drivers are unwilling to cover the cost of what the city gives up by maintaining valuable space as on-street parking, then the space should be used for something else.\n\nBoston magazine published a story last fall that similarly makes the case that on-street parking rates should be jacked up dramatically, at least during peak times on the most popular streets. Craziest of all, according to critics of free or cheap parking, is that residents with permits park in tens of thousands of spaces without paying a dime.\n\n“You have some of the most valuable land on earth, and you’re giving it away for free to cars,” says Donald Shoup, a professor of urban planning at UCLA and the author of The High Cost of Free Parking. “It’s preposterous.”\n\nThe discussion about hiking parking meter prices is hardly limited to Boston. It is being played out in San Francisco, where meter prices soared to upwards of $4.50 per hour last year and may hit $6 per hour in the near future. As the New York Times reported, the goal is to price parking so high that there would always be at least one spot open on every block. Rather than having set prices, rates shift according to supply and demand, increasing during peak-demand periods and plummeting during the lulls on quiet, out-of-the-way streets. The Times also quoted Shoup, who has become the godfather of the pricier city parking movement.\n\n“I think the basic idea is that we will see a lot of benefits if we get the price of curbside parking right, which is the lowest price a city can charge and still have one or two vacant spaces available on every block.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11404, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "6651a3605cde44f904f9e36696ee88704447a162", "raw_chars": 511, "clean_chars": 522, "edit_ratio": 0.0571, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Skeptical Muslim voters are \"coming around,\" she said, emphasizing that their next steps will be critical to the future of Muslim participation in U.S. politics.

Well into the present, Black and Indigenous women in Brazil, for example, continue to challenge the ongoing practice of white, middle- to upper-class dominance within feminist spaces. As Black Brazilian feminist activist Thamyra de Araújo notes in a piece on the exclusion of Black women from mainstream feminism in Brazil, graffiti scrawled across a wall in her city succinctly characterized the obstacles facing many women like her: \"What kind of feminism is this that the person who washes your underwear is a Black woman, your maid, instead of you?\" Researchers have documented this disconnect in detail, noting that despite gains for women in Brazil as a whole, women of African descent remain marginalized on the basis of their economic and racial status. This leaves them with little access to education, much less the free time or interest to organize alongside the very women who mount impediments to their socio-economic growth. And while Brazilian domestic workers, a staggering number of whom are Black and brown, have begun to demand more from their employers, to unionize, and to seek greater social recognition of their labor, new political developments in Brazil toward economic austerity will pose severe setbacks to their efforts.\n\nAssessing What Lies Ahead\n\nI was reminded of these and countless other struggles women of color have long had with their white counterparts as so-called feminists cheered on Clinton, despite—or arguably in some cases, because of—her warm embrace of conservative leaders who had actively oppressed marginalized communities and her parroting of their divisive rhetoric.

And when I consider that they appeared to have done more to chastise those of us who pointed out our reservations about Clinton than to attend to the grievances of their white female peers who went on to vote for Trump in higher numbers than for Clinton, it raises even more questions about the value of continuing to promote a style of feminism that does not work for all women.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11407, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "012d9c6bb1768ab4919b23d5cc922cd4308ca3b5", "raw_chars": 2592, "clean_chars": 2638, "edit_ratio": 0.0386, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Libya's interim prime minister has confirmed the presence of chemical weapons in the country and stated that foreign inspectors would arrive later this week to address the issue.

The U.S. had been trying to revive a program to prevent Libyan chemical, biological, and nuclear scientists from working for terror groups or hostile nations, a State Department official said last month.

Such was the power that big-business Republicans exerted. They formed an uneasy alliance with the social conservative wing of the party, which proved useful for winning elections. But there was never any confusion about who was in control. Big business had the money and the influence. Certain right-wing bills could pass as long as they didn’t hurt anyone’s bottom line, but any legislation that the business lobby deemed too radical would usually die quietly in committee. In recent years, especially since the emergence of the tea party, the pro-business domination of Republican politics has been steadily slipping away.\n\nThat’s partly because candidates are no longer so reliant on money from the business lobby to win elections. In the past fifteen years, a number of wealthy individuals and advocacy groups, driven more by conservative ideology than business interests, have stepped forward to fund campaigns. Meanwhile, the rise of social media and the right-wing blogosphere have made candidates far less reliant on campaign ads. It’s easier and cheaper now to get your message to the party’s grass roots through Facebook and Breitbart than with campaign mailers paid for by some business PAC.\n\nIf you can reach the party faithful, you’re in good shape. That’s because the pathway to power in Texas now runs through Republican primaries. With Democrats offering little resistance in general elections, most major races are decided by GOP primary voters. And simply put, they haven’t shown as much affinity for pro-business pitches as they have for socially conservative ones.\n\nAs the GOP has slid to the right, fueled by distrust of the Obama administration and the ever-more-outlandish rhetoric emanating from right-leaning media, interest groups, and politicians, a simple formula has emerged: the winning candidate is frequently the one that sounds the most extreme and uncompromising. The examples are too numerous to list, but the headliner is the 2012 U.S. Senate race, in which Ted Cruz upset David Dewhurst, a more moderate, business-friendly Republican. Two years later, four established Republicans vied to be lieutenant governor, and tellingly, the least moderate and least business-friendly among them—Dan Patrick—easily won the party’s nomination and then cruised to victory in November.\n\nIn these races, when corporate priorities have conflicted with right-wing ideology on immigration, education, health care, or civil rights, there’s no doubt which side the GOP grass roots has favored.

Under the influence of Russian propaganda, Abkhazians hold a distorted view not only of Georgia but also of the West. Without a Russian-speaking Georgian television channel, this problem will be very difficult to resolve, especially since no Russian-speaking European channel has been established for the same purpose.\n\nHowever, why not develop Russian-language internet sources? These could offer consumers not only news digests but also modern Georgian films and series dubbed in Russian, as well as modern Georgian prose and poetry translated into Russian. This constitutes Georgia's \"soft power.\" In this way, Abkhazians can be shown that Georgians are normal people.\n\nThe Second Assumption\n\nTime is working against Abkhazians, and if they realize this, they should open a dialogue. Therefore, Georgia must contribute to helping the Abkhaz people realize this reality as quickly and clearly as possible. From this perspective, Abkhazian visits to territories controlled by Georgia are genuinely useful. However, these visits should not be associated with any apologies or deceitful attempts to lure Abkhazians into a unified Georgia.\n\nAbkhazians should see for themselves that Georgia is developing and that Georgians are people just like them. The only difference is that they live better, thanks to state institutions and strong, established contacts with the outside world—contacts that Abkhazians do not have and will not have without reconciliation with Georgia.\n\nThe fact that attempts to lure and apologize are counterproductive is well supported by recent history. Abkhazians perceive such attempts as signs of desperation. For instance, offers of free healthcare are likely viewed in this context, making them think that Georgia will die without a dialogue with them and will go to any concessions for its sake, including recognition of independence. Apologies convince them that they were right in everything 25 years ago. International organizations that are unaware of the history of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict may also think this way.\n\nThe Third Assumption\n\nAbkhazians will want to live in Georgia if they see that Georgia treats its own citizens well. Therefore, it is wrong to grant privileges to Abkhazians that are not available to Georgian citizens, such as holding Georgian passports. At one time, even under the USSR, granting Abkhazians privileges to satisfy their desires led to many Georgians living there registering themselves as Abkhazians. This would likely happen again now. It is surely one more reason to stop positive discrimination, such as providing free electricity or healthcare.\n\nGeorgians greet guests respectfully, but money collected from taxpayers should be spent on those who consider themselves citizens of Georgia.\n\nTornike Sharashenidze is a professor at the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11423, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a3c6dd2474b1de3e8acbce35c1f5657bc38ced31", "raw_chars": 3113, "clean_chars": 3129, "edit_ratio": 0.0279, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Brand new TBS writer Harrison Jones points out that popularity is a fickle beast in politics, and in the cases of Malcolm Turnbull and Justin Trudeau, the hard work now begins.\n\nI first heard the name Justin Trudeau after he won the Canadian election, following a remarkably large landslide victory.

Turnbull, like Trudeau, has been thriving off the support of his constituents, with a Fairfax-Ipsos poll in October finding his support as preferred Prime Minister at 69 percent.\n\nThe important question that needs to be asked is how much of this popularity they will be able to keep. How will they function as they are forced to begin making tough decisions on serious issues that could disappoint millions of people?\n\nIn 2008, Barack Obama became the \"leader of the free world\" on a wave of enthusiasm. The charismatic African-American saw broad support from his Democratic Party base and many swing voters, beating his opponent John McCain by almost 10,000,000 votes.\n\nFollowing his poignant and memorable speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, which launched him into the forefront of the American political consciousness, swathes of pressure had been placed on Obama to be the political savior the country craved.\n\nEleven years later, the reality is starkly different. Today, Obama has been labelled the least popular living President by a CNN/ORC International poll.\n\nDespite what the grand promises of an election campaign allude to, the governance of a state does not simply involve ticking the boxes of the various commitments made and waiting for the next election cycle. As a head of government, all leaders, robustly popular or not, must face the unenviable task of addressing the issue of the day, whether politically beneficial or not.\n\nObama was a sitting duck for political disappointment from the outset. His inauguration came just a few months after the historic October 2008 crash of the stock market, sparking the GFC. Just six days after he formally became President, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was introduced to the house and drew deep criticism from the Republican leadership who refused to cooperate. Almost immediately, Obama, who ran on the euphoric platform of \"hope and change,\" had his political honeymoon cut short.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11435, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "7501f1a9da741846a5de5aed921a20951e5327da", "raw_chars": 1669, "clean_chars": 1736, "edit_ratio": 0.2153, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The R9 Fury is not the only new Radeon graphics card receiving attention in the Damage Labs.

They are based on the same Hawaii GPU, but AMD has enhanced them with a series of tweaks. First, GPU clock speeds have increased by 50 MHz on both cards, providing a bit more performance. Memory clocks have seen an even larger jump, rising from 5 GT/s to 6 GT/s thanks to the availability of newer and better GDDR5 chips. As a result, memory bandwidth has increased from 320 to 384 GB/s, placing these cards well ahead of the Titan X and any other offerings from NVIDIA in terms of raw throughput. Furthermore, all R9 390 and 390X cards ship with a robust 8 GB of GDDR5 memory onboard, leaving no doubt about their capabilities.\n\nAdditionally, AMD states that it has conducted a \"complete re-write\" of the PowerTune algorithm, which manages power consumption on these cards. While absolute peak power draw remains unchanged, the company expects lower power usage when running games compared to the older Hawaii-based cards.\n\nThis is not the Fury card I just showed you; it is the Strix R9 390X.

You will probably reach a point in your life when you forget why you’re doing what you’re doing. You neglect to reflect on that as the years go by and suddenly realize that whatever your original purpose was has long since been lost.\n\nYou can maintain that sense of purpose — or recover it — but only if you periodically ask yourself whether you still have it and, if not, what you are going to do about that.\n\nKeep asking yourself what you want to be doing in five years, or 10. When I was starting out, I had an image of a linear career progression. My career has ended up, as is the case for most people, being very nonlinear. I moved up the faculty ranks but also got involved in professional organizations and in university administration. Neither of those things was part of my original career plan. On the contrary, at age 30, if anyone had told me that someday I would be doing administration, I might have thought they were nuts.\n\nBut people’s interests change over time, and a passion you feel during one stage of your career may turn into a drag in the next. Keep asking: Where is my career going? What goals do I want to reach?\n\nHave a hobby. See the world. Or both. Academic work can be all-consuming. What with teaching, research, and service, there is always something, and usually too much, to do. It’s easy to lose perspective and let your career consume more and more of your personal life.\n\nThat’s why it’s important to have a hobby. From time to time, you need to get away from your job, but you also need to have something to get away to. Having an outlet actually will make you a better academic, because after you take a break, you will be able to return to your work refreshed instead of burned out. And you will have something to do when you retire.\n\nThe same goes for travel. Many academics think of seeing the world as something they’ll do after retirement. But a lot can happen between then and now. If you want to see the world, don’t wait until \"someday.\" You may even find that the perspectives you gain from observing other cultures will help you in your teaching, research, and service.\n\nHelp others. Academics can be quite selfish. Of course, you’re not. And it’s true, if you don’t look out for yourself, you may find that no one else is looking out for you, either. But if that’s pretty much all you’re doing, you’re in trouble. At the end of your career, you are likely to take the most pride in how you helped others, not in what you did to advance yourself. And others are likely to look at you the same way: Were you interested only in No. 1? Or did you have time to aid friends, family, and colleagues?\n\nTake some risks. In your 60s and 70s, your biggest regrets are likely to be not about something you did, but about all the things you didn’t do, the opportunities you passed up. Faced with a \"sensible\" career risk, go for it. Grow from it. Some risks will fail. Some of mine certainly have. But you’ll be a wiser and better person for those failures, rather than someone who got stuck in a small world and was afraid to leave it.\n\nYour most important legacy might not be your research.

Fully 70% of people in the Northeast know someone who is Jewish; not coincidentally, 43% of U.S. Jews live in the Northeast.\n\nAll together, the average American personally knows members of at least four of the eight religious groups included in the survey. In general, whites tend to know people in more groups (four) than do blacks (three). And there is a gap between people with a college degree – who know, on average, members of five different religious groups – and those with only a high school diploma or less education, who know someone in an average of three groups. There is virtually no difference, however, between Republicans and Democrats on this measure (four groups each).\n\nWe asked the same panel to rate each religious group on a “feeling thermometer” from 0 to 100, with a higher number indicating a warmer, more positive feeling toward that group. While it’s the first time we’ve asked such a question in that way, others – including professors David Campbell and Robert Putnam in their book “American Grace” – have conducted similar studies (with broadly similar results).\n\nIn our panel’s answers, we noticed a pattern that holds across all religious groups: Americans who know a member of a group tend to rate that group more positively. For example, among those who know an atheist, the average rating of atheists is 50; among those who don’t know an atheist, it’s 29. And among those who know a Buddhist, the average rating of Buddhists is 70. The comparable rating by those who don’t know a Buddhist is 48.\n\nOverall, Americans express the warmest feelings toward Jews (average rating of 63), Catholics (62) and evangelical Christians (61). They are coolest toward atheists (41) and Muslims (40). Buddhists (53), Hindus (50) and Mormons (48) are in the middle.\n\nTopics: Catholics and Catholicism, Mormons and Mormonism, Jews and Judaism, Religiously Unaffiliated, Buddhists and Buddhism, Hindus and Hinduism, Religion and Society, Religious Beliefs and Practices", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11493, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8771fe87e8229c985b159b5fcd2d192b81583157", "raw_chars": 1551, "clean_chars": 1664, "edit_ratio": 0.1322, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Italy’s anti-establishment party, the Five Star Movement, is also making enormous gains.

The Esperanto-speaking community does more than any other group I know to stimulate its members to learn other languages, including exotic or less frequently studied ones. It is an excellent environment for acquiring translation skills alongside people who are typically cooperative and friendly.\n\nIt is also a valuable exercise for monolingual English speakers to put themselves in the position of people who are rarely or never able to use their native language for international communication. Using a language that belongs equally to all its users, while being the native tongue of only a few, is a way to achieve that perspective. Esperanto speakers promote an ethic of equitable linguistic communication, addressing an issue of worldwide social inequality that most people never consider.\n\nEsperantists have a long tradition of providing hospitality to traveling Esperantists from other countries, a practice that many people without substantial vacation funds make abundant use of, both as guests and hosts. For some, this alone is a sufficient reason to learn Esperanto.\n\nUndeniably, some Esperantists are zealots who would have people believe Esperanto is a panacea for international strife, cultural imperialism, or other ills, but the number of such zealots is declining. Though it has not reached the point of a schism, Esperantists are presently tending to drift into two groups. One insists on maintaining the stance of a \"movement\" and will clutch at any straw to preserve the hope that Esperanto can one day become the international language. This \"movement\" tendency, however, is waning. Another group sees the language more as the basis for a \"community\" with a kind of alternative lifestyle. While seeing Esperanto described as a hobby still bothers some Esperantists, I do not think it should. On the contrary, hobbies and free-time activities should be examined from a political angle.\n\nHobby or not, Esperanto certainly has a political dimension. Worker Esperantists, especially those of the \"anationalist\" (antinationalist and universalistic) tendency in SAT, have long valued Esperanto for its capacity to inculcate in its working-class users a practically oriented \"proletarian cosmopolitanism\" that takes them one step further away from the all-pervasive spirit of nationalism than internationalism does.\n\nWhat is objectionable about internationalism? Most of the time, nothing. For many people, in many places and circumstances, it is a step in the right direction—away from nationalism. From a consistently antinationalist perspective, however, one can have legitimate reservations about the concept of internationalism. Internationalism implies the existence of nations. Indeed, internationalists usually do not question the legitimacy of the national state as an institution. Furthermore, internationalism does not necessarily entail antinationalism. Internationalists often harbor nationalistic views on the naturalness and worthiness of nations, as well as the permanence and primordiality of ethno-national identities. That is why nationalists can, and sometimes do, appear in the guise of \"internationalists\" when it suits their purposes to look a bit \"progressive\".", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11505, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "55e5f37c8cb09596987e7b1485712c9343a8f702", "raw_chars": 3176, "clean_chars": 3428, "edit_ratio": 0.7126, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The origins of Hillary Clinton's reticence are the subject of much debate. Some of her longtime aides suggest she became especially cautious following the traumas of the White House years, beginning with the \"bimbo eruptions\" of the 1992 campaign. During that time, news reports about Bill Clinton's extramarital relationships prompted his wife to take a public stand. Her declaration that she was \"not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette\" was interpreted by some as supportive and by others as defiant.\n\nClinton has often told friends that the public would never be comfortable with her role as a driven, talented woman determined to make a difference. In this view, during the 1980s and 1990s, some Americans perceived any outspoken career woman as cold and calculating, akin to Lady Macbeth. This perception, compounded by the many investigations and allegations that peppered the Clinton years in the White House, hardened both her public image and her caution.\n\nAround the same time, Clinton sought to shield her daughter, Chelsea, from media and public attention. Lisa Caputo, the first lady's press secretary during Bill Clinton's first term, noted that much of this behavior stemmed from a desire to maintain a zone of privacy around Chelsea.\n\nSome longtime associates trace Clinton's reserved nature to well before any clashes with conservatives or news reporters. They point to her childhood, marked by a difficult father and rambunctious brothers, as the period when she assumed the burden of being the mature, responsible one. According to Bloodworth-Thomason, it was Dorothy Rodham, Clinton's mother, who \"put the steel rod in her daughter's spine — no whining, no self-pity,\" instilling the values to \"always maintain your dignity\" and \"mind your own counsel.\"\n\nOthers attribute the sharp distinction in how the Clintons present themselves to their religious upbringings. A former staffer who worked closely with both Bill and Hillary Clinton described Hillary as a \"buttoned-up Methodist with a more traditional, private faith,\" while characterizing Bill as a Southern Baptist with a \"much more outwardly expressive faith.\" The staffer noted that while Bill is \"out there spreading the good gospel news,\" Hillary \"carries her scars and develops a kind of fatalism, that it doesn't matter what she does, they're still going to attack her.\"\n\nOther friends observed Clinton's caution emerging in Arkansas, where she was first exposed to insistent questioning by reporters. From that point through the White House years, a sense of siege developed as she \"was being pummeled with one supposed scandal after another,\" said Verveer. He recalled riding in a car with Clinton as the first lady read a story about herself. \"She put the paper down and said, 'I wouldn't like that person, either,'\" he recounted.\n\nDon Baer, who worked with the first lady as White House communications director in the 1990s, described the reticence that developed after the 1992 campaign as \"a reflection of how normal a person she is, rather than how abnormal.\" He added, \"It's an unnatural act to feel comfortable with that level of scrutiny and intrusiveness.\"\n\nFrom the White House years through Clinton's Senate campaign and on to two presidential campaigns, Verveer observed that the strategists around Clinton grew increasingly flummoxed about how to change her public perception and move the needle.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11501, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "3cb6e9eb82f5a4d4f1f5abb84b7476a3c6587289", "raw_chars": 2511, "clean_chars": 2716, "edit_ratio": 0.8397, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A perfect example of Brian McBride's impact occurred during the 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign and the tournament itself. In a qualifying match against Guatemala, with the USA playing a man down following an Eddie Lewis red card, McBride scored a spectacular sliding goal to secure a 1-0 win. He later added what proved to be the third and winning goal in the Americans' 3-2 victory over Portugal in their World Cup opener.\n\nHowever, McBride's most memorable goal came in the round of 16, the first score in a crucial 1-0 victory against Mexico. Claudio Reyna made a 40-yard run down the sideline and crossed the ball to Josh Wolff, who was near the goal line. Wolff, without looking, flicked the ball back to an open McBride. The striker fired a hard, right-footed shot into the net in the eighth minute.\n\n\"I knew there was an opportunity for me to get the ball. It was on a lay back like that,\" McBride recalled.\n\nThe Americans desperately needed that goal. Mexico dominated the match, controlling possession for about two-thirds of the time. Landon Donovan added an insurance goal in the 65th minute to seal the win. This victory was significant because it was played on neutral ground between two teams that typically prevailed at home against each other. It also went a long way in establishing the USA as the dominant force in Concacaf.\n\nMichael Orozco's goal in 2012 also holds a special place in American soccer history. One might wonder why a goal from a friendly match would make such a list, but given the Americans' historical struggles in Mexico City, it provided hope and a crucial win for future World Cup qualifiers. For decades, the USA had suffered frustration and many embarrassing defeats in the Mexican capital, holding a record of 1 win, 19 losses, and 2 draws as of that time. That changed in August 2012 when the second-half substitute and defender struck in the 80th minute of a 1-0 win at the Azteca Stadium.\n\nThe goal was doubly significant for Orozco. \"This means a lot to me because my parents are Mexican, but I was born in the US,\" he said. \"But since day one I've chosen to defend the US and I've done it with honor and a lot of respect to the country. One thing that gives me strength is that my family is always beside me.\"\n\nOrozco was one of three second-half substitutes who teamed up for the goal. Brek Shea beat his man down the left flank and slipped a pass to Terrence Boyd, who back-heeled the ball to Orozco, who was standing in front of the net.

A process of control. A system of power. Domination. It is the act of inhabiting the world of another to annex it to the world of the conqueror.\n\nAs a biblical scholar, one of my deepest concerns is the colonization of biblical interpretation. This process began almost immediately in the Christian church, taking on more pronounced power as church authority became centralized and was ultimately adopted as an arm of the state.\n\nColonizing Interpretation\n\nColonizing interpretation occurs whenever someone claims that we must achieve certain predetermined results in our reading of the Bible. Across several branches of theological disciplines today, one of the most popular tools of colonization goes by the name of \"theological interpretation of scripture.\"\n\nI want to be quick to say that I am fully in favor of reading scripture theologically. That much will be clear to anyone who reads to the end of this post. It is entirely possible to read theologically without colonizing.\n\nHaving said that, however, \"theological interpretation\" as a movement has been energized by interpreters who advocate for using the \"rule of faith\" as a hermeneutic in the strong sense of the word. A hermeneutic is something that guides and, to a certain degree, determines our interpretation. The \"rule of faith\" is a general statement of what \"Christians have always believed,\" and generally aligns with the Creedal tradition of the church.\n\nPut all of this together, and it means that this movement is advocating for reading scripture to discover there the Triune God, a preexistent and God-incarnate Christ, and, if you dig deep enough, a church to which we must submit.\n\nAll of this sounds benign enough. It is simply about making sure we read the Bible in concert with what Christians everywhere have always believed.\n\nOr is it?\n\nA Colonized and Silenced Text\n\nOne of the reasons that critical biblical scholarship is so important is that it unmasks the massive deployment of social, political, and ecclesiastical power required to make the claim that this is what Christians have always believed.\n\nConsider that list above: there is not a single New Testament writer who was a trinitarian. None of the Synoptic Gospels or Acts works with the assumption of a preexistent Christ. Paul may not have had any idea of preexistence. The entire New Testament is subordinationist, in which Jesus the Messiah is subject to God the Father. Furthermore, the notion of a church to be submitted to is spotty at best.\n\nThis does not mean that the theology of fifth-century Greco-Roman philosophers is bad or wrong. But it does mean that if you decide that the rule of faith is your hermeneutic, you have decided in advance that the biblical witness must be silenced.\n\nDeciding in advance on the rule of faith means that the gospel as expressed for the diverse communities across the first-century Mediterranean is not a gospel that should inform our understanding of who Jesus was and what God was up to in sending him for us and our salvation.\n\nConfessing the rule of faith as \"what Christians everywhere have believed\" is to exclude every New Testament writer and likely every first-century Christian from our definition of Christian.\n\nAs an act of faithfulness to the text we actually have as sacred text, we must always first listen to what the writers had to say as writers who were not us to readers who were not us.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11518, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c889bba5c8b672a9957a33d850767329e4ad3e87", "raw_chars": 3345, "clean_chars": 3442, "edit_ratio": 0.4867, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "About three million EU citizens living in the UK would be allowed to remain after Brexit under proposals unveiled by Prime Minister Theresa May.

The court questioned the department, asking how a penalty order could be passed when no time had been given for the payment of the amount determined on July 26.\n\nIn its defense, the department contended that only a show-cause notice had been issued, pertaining to two unpaid demands from the 2007-08 assessment year and the one under challenge for 2009-10. Senior advocate Sanjay Jain, representing the department, also argued that the plea was not maintainable and that NDTV could appeal the order to the concerned commissioner of the Income Tax department. However, he stated that the penalty notice regarding the demand for the 2009-10 assessment year would not be enforced. He further urged the bench to direct a partial deposit of the demanded amount.\n\nWhile noting the department's statement, the court did not order a partial deposit. Instead, the bench allowed the department to raise the issue on the next date of hearing, scheduled for August 21.\n\nAccording to NDTV's petition, the July 26 demand order was issued following the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's (ITAT) decision on July 14. The ITAT had upheld the assessing officer's decision to add approximately Rs 642 crore as unexplained money to the channel's income for the 2009-10 assessment year. However, the ITAT had remanded three other issues pertaining to the same assessment year. NDTV contended that a demand order could not be issued for each truncated issue.\n\nThe media house also clarified that the 'unexplained money' of around Rs 642 crore was actually an investment made by NBC Universal Inc. through its subsidiary, Universal Studio International BV. The petition, filed subsequent to the ITAT order, stated that the Income Tax department had calculated the media house's income for the 2009-10 assessment year at Rs 577 crore. This figure was derived by taking into account losses of Rs 64 crore claimed by the channel, as well as the unexplained money. Based on this income figure of Rs 577 crore, the department calculated that a tax of Rs 428 crore was payable.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11542, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "bab831d628ab1893a00d98ff108ca16a881e22c4", "raw_chars": 2570, "clean_chars": 2566, "edit_ratio": 0.0607, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Tevye stories, which focus on the increasingly wayward marital aspirations of the dairyman's daughters, were published over a twenty-year period. Despite the buffetings of fortune, Tevye remained a character who stood for something like hope, one to whom the author returned periodically for sustenance. After Sholem Aleichem's first disastrous sojourn in America, Dauber writes, Tevye served for the author as a symbol of resilience and persistence in the face of adversity.\n\nThis is the role that Tevye has continued to play for a prodigious public, as Alisa Solomon's admiring account of Fiddler on the Roof suggests. In Wonder of Wonders, Solomon writes that the show is a global touchstone for an astonishing range of concerns, including Jewish identity, American immigrant narratives, generational conflict, communal cohesion, ethnic authenticity, and interracial bridge building. She adds, persuasively, that the musical solidified the origin story of American Jews as a flight from persecution in East European shtetls, never mind the actual origins of those from urban centers or from Sephardic or Middle Eastern backgrounds.\n\nFrom the start, Fiddler has had its critics, who have taken it to task for its overly sentimental view of the old country, for its alleged misrepresentation of Sholem Aleichem's sensibility, or even for its apparent endorsement of intermarriage. Solomon quotes the Yiddish literary critic Ruth Wisse, who wrote: \"If a Jewish work can only enter American culture by forfeiting its moral authority and its commitment to group survival, one has to wonder about the bargain that destroys the Jews with its applause.\" The theater critic Robert Brustein issued a broader indictment, chiding Fiddler for falsifying the world of Sholem Aleichem, not to mention the character of the East European Jew. But however influential Wisse and Brustein were in the cultural discourse, their views remained minority ones. Solomon argues that, for the most part, the musical's creators got it right.\n\nIt is intriguing to ponder just how close Fiddler came to being a Rodgers and Hammerstein project. In 1949, Solomon tells us, the team secured an option to a libretto by Irving Elman based on the Tevye stories. Would Rodgers and Hammerstein have given the show a more triumphalist cast? Would they have added an anthem about the follies of prejudice? We'll never know. They were at the time thoroughly immersed in creating The King and I and ultimately relinquished their rights.

Without lapsing into long-winded historical digressions, he situates Sholem Aleichem in a sociocultural context that included violent Russian anti-Semitism, European war, and the alluring but fragmentary promise of America. In his final pages, Dauber takes on what he calls Sholem Aleichem's \"afterlife,\" including the development of Fiddler on the Roof, which is the focus of Alisa Solomon's Wonder of Wonders.\n\nSolomon begins with a thumbnail sketch of Sholem Aleichem's frayed relationship with the American Yiddish stage, as well as the success of Tevye der Milkhiker, an early play based on his Tevye stories. She finds her footing with the wonderfully gossipy creation tale of the long-running Broadway musical, a labor of love plagued by animosity between its temperamental director-choreographer and its rebellious star. She concludes with reporting on select instances of Fiddler's staging and reception around the world, attesting to the show's continuing power and relevance.\n\nDauber's biography, involving close analysis of individual works, has the salutary effect of sending the reader back to the originals. For those of us not literate in Yiddish, that means English-language translations that struggle to capture Sholem Aleichem's signature humor and wordplay. In The Old Country, the first English-language collection of his stories, Frances Butwin (co-translator with her husband, Julius) addresses some of the challenges of the translator's art: \"Often what was entirely right and simple and flavorsome in Yiddish completely missed fire when translated literally.\" In the case of Tevye, she adds, \"some of the pungency and flavor of this most delightful and most completely realized of all of Sholom Aleichem's characters was lost in translation.\"\n\nBoth the title, The Old Country, and the publication date, 1946, are nonetheless resonant, evoking a world not just forsaken but destroyed. To postwar American Jews with only a Jungian collective memory of the shtetl, Sholem Aleichem signifies as the chronicler of all that fell victim not just to modernity and assimilation, the Cossacks and compulsory military service, emigration and escape, but to the Nazis and, in Ukraine, their murderously efficient Einsatzgruppen. Both Dauber and Solomon cite Ben Hecht's review in The New York Times to this effect: \"It is the epitaph of a vanished world and an almost vanished people,\" Hecht wrote of The Old Country.\n\nAs Dauber notes, associating Sholem Aleichem with the ravages of the Holocaust is an entirely anachronistic reading of stories written in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. But Sholem Aleichem did witness the pogroms that served as both symbol and warning of worse to come. Seeing his work through this prism is in part a reverential act by second- and third-generation American Jews, who may be unable even to name the cities or towns abandoned by their émigré forebears.

Then the man was very angry because his wife was ill, and he made seven blow-pipe arrows. Early the next morning he took his blow-pipe with him and went to the place where the sun rises and waited. Now at that time there were seven suns. When they rose he shot six of them and left only one remaining; then he went home. At the time the man shot the suns … the sky had risen to its present place; since, when the man had shot the six suns, the remaining sun, being frightened, ran away up into the air and took the sky with it.\n\nThe internal consistency between such superficially preposterous accounts from historically unrelated cultures, interlocking with equally puzzling themes such as the ‘erstwhile rivalry of sun and moon’, the ‘noosing of the sun’ and ‘stationary suns’, cries out for a rational explanation. A long shot it may be, but a compelling solution is offered by plasma physicist Anthony Peratt’s hypothesis of an intense aurora which occurred globally in prehistoric times. This would have taken the form of atmospheric plasma z-pinches developing columnar instabilities. Each Peratt Column would have pinched into some nine superimposed plasmoids. Generally, only one, two or three of these will have appeared at a time in visible light, but on extreme occasions all may have manifested at once, emitting intolerable synchrotron radiation light. While the columns typically appeared motionless, some may have drifted over the horizon.\n\n‘Fiery arrows’ dispatched towards the plasmoids, shattering of individual plasmoids, links with the axis mundi, devastating heat and wildfires, the stationary position indicated in some versions, the lifting of the ‘sky’ and the appearance of the real sun and moon subsequent to the demise of the column – all of these correlative motifs fall into place on the same adventurous model.

Prominent figures in other sectors are deeply annoyed by the collateral damage caused by excessive risk-taking by bankers. In most middle-income countries, the financial sector comprises at most a few percentage points of gross domestic product. In contrast, in countries like the United States or Britain, the financial sector is much larger as a percentage of GDP, ranging from 7 to 9 percent depending on the exact measurement. This is a direct result of having accumulated more financial assets, which stems from prosperity and the reasonable desire to save for retirement. Additionally, because rich countries can issue a great deal of short-term government debt and have central banks with credibility in limiting inflation, they are able to provide very large amounts of direct and indirect support that prevent prominent financial companies from collapsing. There is no sector in the modern United States or Britain that is willing to stand up to big banks in the political arena. Top financial-sector executives continue to enjoy such high prestige that they are still called upon to run public finances.\n\nI have one quibble with Johnson's argument: corporate executives in other industries are in cahoots with Wall Street, so they have no reason to gang up on them. Executive pay is now based on stock market returns, and worse, CEOs are increasingly selected based on how investor- and media-friendly they are, rather than how good they are at running companies. CEOs regularly buy themselves a new lease on life when performance is flagging by making a big acquisition, as seen with Carly Fiorina at HP. Moreover, CEOs of mid-sized companies and C-level executives of large ones can further enrich themselves by joining private equity firms, which is another reason to make nice with financiers.\n\nThis means that Johnson's \"rich country problem\" is not just about a bigger financial services industry; it also lies in the differences in the nature of the ruling groups. I invite readers to elaborate, but in developing economies, you often see certain families assuming near-dynastic standing in public affairs, with economic power concentrated in family businesses that often play big roles in key industries and control critical resources, such as large landholders who control agricultural resources or extractable commodities. In more advanced economies, however, tribalism is much more along class lines. CEOs of public companies, for instance, arguably have many common interests, and in many cases, these class-based interests compete with and can even exceed industry-based allegiances. So while the financial services industry brings the issue of where the loyalties of other power players lie into focus, the interdependence among members of elite groups looks to be much greater than even the financial services example indicates.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11555, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f9723901422437f751db6ed3c8ac2155a7995f4c", "raw_chars": 3476, "clean_chars": 3439, "edit_ratio": 0.036, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Simon Johnson wrote a remarkably blunt article for The Atlantic in May 2009 titled \"The Quiet Coup.\" In case you managed to miss it, it remains critically important reading. He provided an update of sorts in a New York Times column today.\n\nJohnson, a former chief economist to the IMF, described how the financial services industry had effectively engaged in a banana-republic-style takeover of government. The IMF’s experience with countries that had suffered economic crises due to the mismanagement of ruling oligarchs showed that there was one condition that was key to whether reforms stuck: at least some of the ruling group needed to break ranks and be willing to cede power. Clearly, nothing of the kind has happened here.\n\nJohnson depicted how the banking sector came to be bloated relative to the economy as a whole:\n\n\"Elite business interests—financiers, in the case of the U.S.—played a central role in creating the crisis, making ever-larger gambles, with the implicit backing of the government, until the inevitable collapse. More alarming, they are now using their influence to prevent precisely the sorts of reforms that are needed, and fast, to pull the economy out of its nosedive. The government seems helpless, or unwilling, to act against them…. The financial industry has not always enjoyed such favored treatment. But for the past 25 years or so, finance has boomed, becoming ever more powerful. The boom began with the Reagan years, and it only gained strength with the deregulatory policies of the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Several other factors helped fuel the financial industry’s ascent. Paul Volcker’s monetary policy in the 1980s, and the increased volatility in interest rates that accompanied it, made bond trading much more lucrative. The invention of securitization, interest-rate swaps, and credit-default swaps greatly increased the volume of transactions that bankers could make money on. And an aging and increasingly wealthy population invested more and more money in securities, helped by the invention of the IRA and the 401(k) plan. Together, these developments vastly increased the profit opportunities in financial services.\"\n\nNot surprisingly, Wall Street ran with these opportunities. From 1973 to 1985, the financial sector never earned more than 16 percent of domestic corporate profits. In 1986, that figure reached 19 percent. In the 1990s, it oscillated between 21 percent and 30 percent, higher than it had ever been in the postwar period. This decade, it reached 41 percent. Pay rose just as dramatically. From 1948 to 1982, average compensation in the financial sector ranged between 99 percent and 108 percent of the average for all domestic private industries. From 1983, it shot upward, reaching 181 percent in 2007.\n\nIn the New York Times, Johnson again looks at this topic and has to reframe it only a bit in the light of the intervening years: this isn’t just a US problem, it’s a “rich country” problem. This blog stressed, early in the crisis, how the Japanese were uncharacteristically strident in telling the US that its biggest single mistake in managing its real estate/lending crisis was its failure to clean up bank balance sheets and reform them. That advice was simply ignored.\n\nAnd Johnson posits that it’s the economic heft that the financial sector comes to assume in big economies that enables them to block reforms.

It is thought to be the first and largest of the forts that Pardo established in an attempt to colonize the American South. On July 22, 2013, archaeologists announced evidence of the long-suspected Fort San Juan at Joara, following previous excavations that revealed both European and Mississippian artifacts.\n\nIn the 21st century, archaeological finds from excavations have established evidence of both substantial Mississippian and sustained Spanish 16th-century settlement in the interior of North Carolina. Joara was also the site of Fort San Juan, established by the Juan Pardo expedition as the earliest Spanish outpost from 1567 to 1568 in the interior of what is now North Carolina. This was 40 years before the English settlement at Jamestown and nearly 20 years before their \"Lost Colony\" at Roanoke Island.\n\nLocated northwest of Morganton, the site has been excavated in portions by the Upper Catawba Valley Archaeology Project since the early 2000s. They hold regular open houses and educational events for the public during the summer excavation season.\n\nEstablished around AD 1000, Joara was the largest Mississippian culture settlement within the current boundaries of North Carolina. In 1540, a party of Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto encountered the people at this chiefdom site. It was still thriving in January 1567 when Spanish soldiers under Captain Juan Pardo arrived. Pardo established a base there for the winter, called the settlement Cuenca, and built Fort San Juan. After 18 months, the natives killed the soldiers at the fort and burned the structures down. That same year, the natives destroyed all six forts in the southeast interior and killed all but one of the 120 men Pardo had stationed in them. As a result, the Spanish ended their colonizing effort in the southeastern interior.\n\nEffects of European infectious diseases and conquest, along with assimilation by larger native tribes, led to the native abandonment of the settlement long before English explorers arrived in the region in the 17th century. De Soto's 1540 expedition noted the Chalaque already in the area at the time.

Roger Federer has proven to be the most difficult player to break when leading 40-30 on serve, holding his serve 95.4 percent of the time (535 out of 561) from this seemingly competitive point score.\n\nFederer's performance in this category has been particularly dominant over the past three seasons. In 2017, he held serve from 40-30 in 96.3 percent of cases (157 out of 163). In 2016, the figure was 95.5 percent (107 out of 112), and in 2015, it was 94.7 percent (271 out of 286). This represents a slight improvement over time. During the 2017 season, Federer led 40-30 in 163 service games and lost only six of them. While opponents may feel they are closing in on breaking Federer's serve, they are actually farther from achieving a break than they were at the start of the game. According to Infosys Nia Data, Federer held serve 91 percent of the time overall in 2017, but at 40-30, his hold rate rose to 96.3 percent. The returner winning two points does not negate the fact that Federer needs only one more point to hold. When Federer extended his lead to 40-15 during the 2017 season, his win percentage climbed to a near-perfect 99.1 percent (229 out of 231).\n\nAmong the current Top 10, Marin Cilic ranks second in holding serve from 40-30, doing so 94.6 percent of the time (596 out of 630) since the beginning of the 2015 season. Former World No. 1s Novak Djokovic (93.9 percent) and Andy Murray (93 percent) follow as third and fourth, being the only other players to reach the 93 percent mark.

Opponents claim the move contradicts a growing global push to outlaw cluster bombs and runs counter to recent votes by both the U.S. and Saudi governments that were critical of using such munitions.\n\n\"Both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have recently condemned the use of cluster munitions by the government of Syria,\" said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, a Washington-based watchdog group. \"That is ironic given this new sale, because a cluster munition is a cluster munition, no matter what kind it is.\" Kimball was referring to a May 15 vote before the U.N.

It is vulcans, presumably, who Brennan hopes will someday rule over us, but he does not present compelling evidence that they really exist.

These phenomena tend to surround a planet's poles, where magnetic field lines converge and funnel incoming charged solar particles into the atmosphere. There, the particles collide with air molecules, causing them to glow.\n\nScientists had previously attempted unsuccessfully to detect auroras on Uranus in 1998 and 2005. However, in September 2011, Lamy and his team learned of an impending solar storm directed toward Uranus, which orbits approximately 2.5 billion miles (4 billion kilometers) from Earth. The team timed their Hubble Space Telescope observations specifically to coincide with the solar storm. About six weeks later, Hubble successfully spotted the auroras flaring up in Uranus's upper atmosphere. \"We definitely had luck on our side to catch these faint flashes,\" Lamy noted.\n\nThe auroras' unusual appearance may be linked to the planet's oddball orientation. Unlike the other seven planets, Uranus's magnetic axis is tilted 60 degrees relative to its spin axis. Furthermore, the spin axis itself has a bizarre 98-degree tilt relative to the solar system's orbital plane, meaning the planet essentially rolls around on its side as it orbits the sun. Lamy speculates that Uranus's auroras are very short-lived due to the difference between the orientation of the incoming solar particles and the planet's unusual magnetic field.\n\n\"These auroras will offer clues as to the exact location of the magnetic axis, which will then allow us to tell for the first time which parts of the magnetosphere are active,\" Lamy explained. \"There is no doubt Uranus is a mysterious planet. We just don't know too much about it—especially its magnetosphere—but it's finally slowly revealing its secrets.\"\n\nNow that his team has proven that Hubble can detect auroras on Uranus, Lamy hopes to secure more observation time. \"We have had virtually no observations of these events for nearly a quarter century, but now we know we have a unique tool at our disposal,\" he said. \"Unfortunately, Hubble is nearing the end of its life, so it's quite urgent we get as many opportunities as possible to observe these distant auroras before it closes its eye for good.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11603, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "41094b1d390dfd500e8664eb3d953f6e909cb4d5", "raw_chars": 3404, "clean_chars": 3541, "edit_ratio": 0.4891, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Drawing on over twenty-five years of research into the documentary record of the Kennedy assassination, I have come to believe that Richard Helms, James Angleton, and David Atlee Phillips were the primary plotters, rather than Allen Dulles. However, as Talbot points out, all of these men were beholden to Dulles at various levels; indeed, Angleton carried Dulles's ashes at his funeral in 1969.\n\nDavid Atlee Phillips rose to power within the CIA due to his successful operations during the 1954 overthrow of Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz under Dulles's direction. Helms, meanwhile, appears to have been insulated from the Bay of Pigs disaster in April 1961, possibly by Dulles to ensure a loyal figure remained at the upper echelons of the agency.\n\nGiven the hostility between Dulles and President Kennedy, it remains a historical anomaly that Dulles managed to secure a position on the official investigation into Kennedy's assassination. In that role, Allen Dulles was more responsible than anyone else for the deliberate obfuscations employed by the Warren Commission. Dulles spent more time working for the commission than any other member. I agree with Talbot that the body should more appropriately have been named the \"Dulles Commission.\"\n\nTalbot repudiates the recently resurfaced claim that Robert Kennedy asked Lyndon B. Johnson to appoint Dulles to the commission, a point that lawyer and former House Select Committee investigator Dan Hardway has also made in detail, supported by additional evidence. (See Section VIII in Hardway's article \"Thank You, Phil Shenon.\")\n\nDulles did indeed have ties to the family of Ruth and Michael Paine, the couple who housed Lee Harvey Oswald in the months leading up to the assassination. Furthermore, Dulles monitored New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's case against Clay Shaw through Gordon Novel, a man Garrison had hired to provide \"security.\"\n\nOne of the most interesting figures Talbot examines in the latter part of his book is JFK adviser and historian Arthur Schlesinger. Schlesinger apparently harbored a professional distaste for Dulles and the CIA's actions while maintaining a personal, even warm, relationship with him, though he came to question that friendship in later years.\n\nOne of Talbot's chapters, titled \"I Can't Look and I Won't Look,\" takes its name from a remark Schlesinger made when confronted with evidence of conspiracy in the Kennedy assassination. Here was a man so wedded to his circle that he refused to believe someone he knew and admired could be responsible for such a heinous crime.\n\nToward the end of his life, Schlesinger reflected on his \"truce\" and friendship with Dulles's protégé, Richard Helms, and later CIA Director William Casey. Talbot quotes Schlesinger as asking, \"I did wonder at one's [meaning his own] capacity to continue liking people who have been involved in wicked things. Is this deplorable weakness? Or commendable tolerance?\"\n\nThe same question must be asked regarding the public's tolerance of secret operations that run counter to the principles of democracy in an open society. Is it commendable to tolerate assassinations and darker deeds in the name of preserving the republic, or more accurately, protecting the holdings of corporate leaders within it?

However, with the passage of this Act of Parliament, this reason ceased to exist, and they immediately began the wholesale eviction of their tenantry and the conversion of arable lands into grazing farms. The Catholic middle, professional, and landed class, through Catholic Emancipation, had the way opened to them for all the lucrative positions in the disposal of the Government. The Catholics of the poorer class, as a result of the same Act, were doomed to extermination, to satisfy the vengeance of a foreign Government and an aristocracy whose power had been defied where it knew itself most supreme.\n\nThe wholesale eviction of the smaller tenants and the absorption of their farms into huge grazing ranches, thus closing up every avenue of employment to labour, meant death to the agricultural population. Hence, the peasantry struck back by every means in their power. They formed lodges of the secret Ribbon Society, made midnight raids for arms upon the houses of the gentry, assembled at night in large bodies and ploughed up the grass lands, making them useless for grazing purposes, filled up ditches, terrorized graziers into surrendering their ranches, wounded and killed those who had entered the service of graziers or obnoxious landlords, assassinated agents, and sometimes, in sheer despair, opposed their unarmed bodies to the arms of the military. Civil war of the most sanguinary character was convulsing the country. In May 1831, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and a huge military force accompanied by artillery marched through Clare to overawe the people, but as he did not stop evictions, nor provide employment for the labourers whom the establishment of grazing had deprived of their usual employment on the farm, the outrages still continued.\n\nNor were the professional patriots, or the newly emancipated Catholic rich, any more sympathetic to the unfortunate people. They had opened the way for themselves to place and preferment by using the labourer and cottier-farmer as a lever to overthrow the fortress of religious bigotry and ascendancy, and now when the fight was won, they abandoned these poor co-religionists of theirs to the tender mercies of their economic masters. To the cry of despair welling up from the hearts of the evicted families, crouching in hunger upon the roadside in sight of their ruined homes, to the heartbroken appeal of the labourer permanently disemployed by the destruction of his source of employment, to the wail of famishing women and children, the politicians invariably had but one answer: \"Be law-abiding, and wait for the Repeal of the Union.\" We are not exaggerating. One of the most ardent Repealers and closest friends of Daniel O'Connell, Mr. Thomas Steele, had the following manifesto posted up in the Market Place of Ennis and other parts of Clare, addressed to the desperate labourers and farmers:\n\n\"Unless you desist, I denounce you as traitors to the cause of the liberty of Ireland ...

At that time, however, it was deemed a highly patriotic act to ascribe all the ills that Irish flesh is heir to to the Union. For example, Mr. O’Gorman Mahon, speaking in the House of Commons in London on February 8, 1831, hinted that the snowstorm then covering Ireland was a result of the Legislative Union. He said:\n\n\"Did the Hon. Members imagine that they could prevent the unfortunate men who were under five feet of snow from thinking they could better their condition by a Repeal of the Union? It might be said that England had not caused the snow, but the people had the snow on them, and they thought that their connection with England had reduced them to the state in which they now were.\"\n\nAnother patriot, destined in later years to don the mantle of an Irish rebel, William Smith O’Brien, at this time in 1830 published a pamphlet advocating emigration as the one remedy for Irish misery.\n\nOn the other hand, a Commission appointed by the House of Lords in 1839 to inquire into the causes of unrest and secret conspiracies amongst the poorer class examined many witnesses in close touch with the life of the peasantry and elicited much interesting testimony tending to prove that the evil was much more deeply rooted than any political scheme of Government, and that its real roots were in the social conditions. Thus, when examined as to the attitude of the labourers towards the Ribbon Association, one witness declared:\n\n\"Many look to the Association for protection. They think they have no other protection.\" When asked what the principal objects they had in view, the answer was: \"To keep themselves upon their lands.

He described the Cultural Revolution as the chaos before creation in Chinese mythology, before things separated into yin and yang, and said that Tiananmen Square represented their continuing imbalance. Mao Zong, in a way I couldn't follow, was somehow the embodiment of wuwei, Taoist non-action. Xie Ye gazed at him adoringly the whole time, and both of them radiated an innocent sweetness. I felt I was in the presence of one of those crazy mountain sages of Chinese tradition.\n\nSomewhere in the evening, Gu Cheng left for the bathroom, and as soon as he was out of sight, Xie Ye turned to me smiling and said, \"I hope he dies.\" She explained that in New Zealand, he had forced her to give their son to a Maori couple to raise, as he demanded her undivided attention and wanted to be the only male in the house. \"I can't get my baby back unless he is dead,\" she said. I had met them for the first time just a few hours before.\n\nTheir private travails would soon become public knowledge. Before leaving for New Zealand, Gu Cheng had fallen in love with a student, Li Ying, known as Ying'er, though he had not yet had an affair. They continued to correspond, and Xie Ye came up with a scheme: by inviting Ying'er to Waiheke Island, she could be replaced as wife, leave Gu Cheng, and be reunited with her son. She paid for Ying'er's ticket. Gu Cheng, however, wanted to live the life of the hero of The Dream of the Red Chamber (also known as The Story of the Stone), as the prince of the 'Kingdom of Daughters', surrounded by women improvising poetry in a pleasure garden far from the world. He said that women were only beautiful when they did nothing. Ying'er, in turn, though she did become Gu Cheng's lover, was appalled by their living conditions. After a year, Gu Cheng and Xie Ye left for Berlin to earn some money to fix up the house. Ying'er was supposed to wait for them, but disappeared, supposedly with a much older English martial arts instructor.\n\nIn Berlin, Gu Cheng wrote one of the strangest books ever written: Ying'er, which he called his 'dream of the Gu Cheng chamber'. It is a barely fictionalised account, with long passages of physical detail, of the love affair and its break-up. The book is obsessive and hallucinated, narcissistic and self-pitying, precise and incoherent, kitschy and terrifying. In the end, it is perhaps more of a document than a piece of literature, and now impossible to read at a purely aesthetic distance. Gu Cheng dictated the book on tape, and Xie Ye transcribed it, adding some paragraphs and chapters of her own. She also began seeing another man. \"My way is the way of death,\" she told a friend.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11636, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "a5c502c25499a31f1571825230b706f4e6e32ca3", "raw_chars": 855, "clean_chars": 840, "edit_ratio": 0.0265, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "So, in the end, the question becomes: Does the chicken whose corpse is sold for $1.99 per pound matter as much morally as the whale Watson seeks to save?

Diego Dzodan was taken into custody at Guarulhos airport on Tuesday and is now being questioned regarding WhatsApp's alleged non-compliance with a court order.\n\nAccording to the court, WhatsApp had been ordered for more than a month to reveal messages relating to a suspected drug-trafficking ring. After the company denied three related requests by federal police, the judge first imposed a daily fine on the US company of 50,000 reais (£9,000), then a daily penalty of 1 million reais (£180,000), and finally ordered the arrest. \"In the face of repeated non-compliance, Judge Marcel Maia ordered the arrest of a representative of the company in Brazil, Mr. Diego Dzodan, for obstructing the police investigation,\" a court spokesman wrote in an email.\n\nFacebook called the police action \"extreme and disproportionate.\" It stated that WhatsApp, which was acquired by Facebook in 2014 and has no staff based in Brazil, operates independently, so Dzodan should not be held responsible. Moreover, it noted that the WhatsApp messaging service does not store content, as messages are encrypted by users at either end. The courts, it said, are requesting information it does not have. This is different from information found on the Facebook social network, which is archived and can be provided on a case-by-case basis if requested by Brazilian law enforcement officers and approved by the company's lawyers. \"Facebook has always been and will be available to address any questions Brazilian authorities may have,\" a company spokesman said.\n\nThis is not the first controversy regarding WhatsApp, which has been the most popular download in Brazil over the past two years and is used by about half of the country's 200 million population. In a separate case in December, a court issued an injunction for WhatsApp to be shut down for 48 hours after it twice failed to comply with its orders. That injunction was overturned after an outcry by users and an intervention by Facebook's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, who described the shutdown as \"a sad day for Brazil.\"\n\nAdriano Mendes, a lawyer who specializes in digital law but is not directly involved in the current case, said such disputes were caused by differences in data protection regulations and knowledge. \"Sometimes judges here think that Facebook and Google are responsible for storing all the information they have. But those firms don't always have it after a month or a year,\" he said. \"A poor understanding of how technology works creates a lot of problems in Brazil. The judicial system is not equipped to deal with these issues.\" He predicted the case against Facebook would shortly be overturned by a higher court, as was the case last December.\n\nA spokesman for WhatsApp said the company had cooperated with investigators \"to the full extent of our ability.\" \"We are disappointed that law enforcement took this extreme step.

On the contrary, the movement has been co-opted by a \"happy exploitation\" ideology that is now ubiquitous. Peter Singer, often referred to as the \"father\" of the animal rights movement, identifies himself as a \"flexible vegan.\" Major organizations have rejected veganism as a moral baseline, promoting it merely as a method to reduce suffering through initiatives like cage-free eggs, crate-free pork, and the Whole Foods Animal Welfare Rating program. In contrast, abolitionists are striving to build a vegan movement grounded in the principle that veganism is a fundamental requirement of justice.\n\nWatson appears to believe that the abolitionist argument cannot succeed because \"there are lots of stupid people out there\" who fail to see the connections and must be \"nurtured.\" This characterization is curious, especially given Watson's claim that vegans are \"elitists\" who look down on others. Abolitionists do not view people as stupid; rather, they believe that most individuals, or at least a significant number, care about nonhuman animals. People are aware that animal products do not grow on trees and that animals suffer and die to end up on our plates. While they may not know the specific details of how animals are raised and killed, those details are irrelevant. Going vegan should not depend on whether \"abuses\" occur at slaughterhouses or on factory farms. It should depend on a simple fact: animals die so that we can eat and wear them. Just as those who objected to the killing of Cecil the lion or marine mammals would not cease their objections even if the killing process were made more \"humane,\" the morality of consuming or wearing animals does not rest on how they are treated, but solely on the fact that they are used in the first place.\n\nWe have an obligation to clarify that single-issue campaigns miss the point by perpetuating the fantasy that there is a difference between a whale and a cow, or between fur and wool. This is not a matter of \"elitism.\" In fact, there is nothing more elitist than the idea that it is acceptable for us to exploit vulnerable nonhuman animals, which is precisely what single-issue campaigns perpetuate.\n\nTherefore, whenever news stories involving Cecil or similar situations elicit an outcry, we should use these moments as opportunities to engage in creative, nonviolent vegan advocacy. We must make clear that there is absolutely no difference between the actions of nonvegans and the behavior of those we object to.\n\nWe wholeheartedly agree that a person who looks at an animal like Cecil and wants to kill him, or pays a great deal of money to have that experience, seems to have disturbing psychological problems. Yet, as we all know, the animals killed for food or clothing were once living beings, no less morally important than Cecil, with their own interests, families, and biographies. Why does the act of ordering a hamburger or eating an ice cream cone make us any less petty, oppressive, unjust, or cruel? If we do not squarely confront our relentless, ubiquitous, and pervasive use of animals for palate pleasure or fashion, nothing will ever change.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11636, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "051e6718e87c00eb3dac78483daaef0a00c691f4", "raw_chars": 3488, "clean_chars": 3434, "edit_ratio": 0.6463, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We have no more excuse or justification for our actions than Walter Palmer, who killed Cecil. In a moral sense, we are all Walter Palmer. We need to stop the carnage and the injustice. We must shift the paradigm from viewing animals as property to recognizing them as moral persons, and the only way to achieve this is by working tirelessly to bring about a vegan world. The stronger the abolitionist movement becomes, the more animal exploitation of all sorts will end. Vegans will not visit zoos or sea parks; they will not attend the circus or rodeo; they will oppose the slaughter of any marine mammal, other aquatic animal, or land animal; and they will not wear animals. If we cut off exploitation at the root, we will no longer need countless single-issue campaigns. After forty years into the modern animal movement, these campaigns have had no impact.\n\nWatson observes that most vegans were once not vegan. Many started with feelings of compassion for their pets or for animals they liked. These seeds of compassion, if nurtured by thoughtful education, can be inspired and motivated through positive encouragement.\n\nThis is the same old, tired nonsense we hear from all animal welfare groups: \"We are all on a 'journey,' and as long as we are 'compassionate,' it is all fine. No one should say otherwise, or they are just 'purist' or 'elitist.'\" All of the large groups take this position, and it is explicitly speciesist. To see this clearly, imagine the following: John was raised in a racist community. For the first twenty years of his life, John uttered racist epithets to every person of color he saw and considered them inferior to whites. Then, one day, John saw that racism was wrong. He now wants to work for social justice and equality. Should John adopt the position that because it took him twenty years to stop being racist, rejecting racism is merely a matter of being on a \"journey,\" and that we cannot say racism is morally wrong and must stop immediately? Of course not. John should take the position that we must educate people about racism, but we must be crystal clear that racism is morally wrong and must stop.\n\nThe fact that it may have taken someone a while to see that something is morally odious does not mean we should not be unambiguously clear that it is morally odious and must stop. We do not respond to racism with a campaign for \"Racist-joke-free Monday.\" We respond with a demand for justice.\n\nAbolitionists are not criticizing individuals who are grappling with a new understanding of animal ethics. Where there are instances of personal clashes, that is unfortunate. What we are talking about, and planning for, is a redirection of the message put out by the large organizations that dominate the arena. These groups send out countless solicitations for donations featuring the atrocity of the day and the appeal: \"Help us stop [fill in the blank]. Send your donation for the animals!\"\n\nIt is sad that Watson thinks it is fine, indeed obligatory, to spend millions equipping, staffing, and operating ships to save a whale, while a sense of urgency and efforts to make clear that there is no moral difference between the whale Watson saves and the many billions of animals that supposedly \"compassionate\" people consume are labeled as \"purism\" or \"elitist.\" Action, including ramming other ships, is fine where whales are concerned.

While the changes revealed at that event are not necessarily final, they do paint an accurate picture of the changes the developers are willing to make for StarCraft II. They plan to continue making balance tweaks as necessary over the coming two months, and for that, they need the community's help.\n\nA first step towards getting more data and feedback was to make it as easy as possible for players to experiment with these balance changes, so matchmaking for them has been added. Starting with Patch 3.6, a new 'Testing' sub-menu will appear in the Multiplayer section of StarCraft II. This section will offer matchmaking where players of similar skill can play against one another in the newest version of the StarCraft II balance changes.\n\nThe version of StarCraft II available in the Testing section is radically different from what is currently live on the Ladder. To make it as easy as possible to know what you are getting into, you can now view the changes being tested directly within the client. This can be done by navigating to the 'Testing' section within Multiplayer and selecting the 'Balance Info' dialogue box.\n\nAlternatively, if you wish to dive into greater detail about why specific changes are being tested, or if you want to offer up your feedback to the community to see other players' thoughts on your observations, you can jump onto the StarCraft II forums by selecting the 'Battle.net Forums' option. There, you will find the Community Feedback Updates, which are posted weekly by the Lead Balance Designer, David Kim. He responds to numerous points brought up by the community and also provides insight into the design team's thought processes.\n\nIntegrating the community into the design process for StarCraft II has proven to be immensely helpful as Legacy of the Void has continued to develop.

But DU archaeologist Larry Conyers can show you an entirely different picture of the farm, one that exists underground.\n\nConyers and two graduate students, Maeve Herrick and Jasmine Saxon, used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology to determine if an early 17th-century farmstead was once located at the site of the expansive ranch, which is now owned by a local family. The DU team ended up uncovering what may be the first archaeological evidence of cohabitation between early colonists and Native Americans.\n\n“This is arguably the most important historic period archaeological site to be identified in the state of Connecticut,” says Brian Jones, who, as Connecticut state archaeologist, is leading the investigation of the property. “The site documents an especially poorly understood period of colonial history as the first English settlers of the Connecticut River Valley adjusted to a new way of life.”\n\nConyers, who chairs DU’s anthropology department, is the world’s leading expert on GPR, a technology that uses high-frequency radar pulses to create images of objects and architecture buried underground. GPR is critical to the field of anthropology because it allows scientists to avoid the often irrevocable damage to buried materials frequently associated with excavation. Rather than spend months or years digging in the ground, Conyers can safely use GPR to view what is otherwise hidden to the human eye.\n\nConyers and the two students determined that the Connecticut horse farm was once a multi-house colonial family settlement from the 1630s. Their research also revealed evidence that Wangunk Indians lived in or near the settlement at the same time as the colonists.\n\n“Very few 17th-century English settlements have been identified in Connecticut, and next to nothing related to 17th-century English settlement had been archaeologically explored,” Jones says. “The presence of Native American material on the site adds to our appreciation of the complex relationship between the English and their native neighbors at this time.”\n\nArchaeologists like Jones and historians around the world regularly ask Conyers to investigate their sites because of his masterful use of GPR technology. He has uncovered medieval Irish farming communities, African mass graves, and buried pueblos. He selects projects, in large part, based on what would make good research assignments for his graduate students.\n\nMembers of the Connecticut team contacted Conyers when their preliminary site work gave them reason to believe that historically significant artifacts were located at the horse ranch. Locals had long believed the site was a colonial homestead. The property owners knew their ancestors were early settlers, and the family was curious about what might be buried there.\n\n“It was a perfect test site for GPR because the land had been relatively untouched—it’s been used only as a working farm by the same family for centuries,” Conyers says.

The Philae lander, part of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, departed its parent spacecraft on the morning of Friday, November 12, and began a slow drift toward the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.\n\nAs previously reported, the landing did not go as planned. Philae eventually entered a state of hibernation very early on Saturday, November 15 (UK/European time), unable to charge its solar batteries. However, during that time, the lander managed to achieve almost all of its primary mission goals, sending back a wealth of data to Earth via Rosetta.\n\nThat data is now being analyzed and has already revealed that upon its first touchdown on the comet, Philae's harpoons and the ice screws in its three landing pads—all designed to quickly anchor it to the surface—failed to operate as anticipated.\n\nPhilae's final resting place, after two bounces across the comet, appears to be dust-covered ice. The thermal probe of the MUPUS science instrument detected temperatures of around -153°C under the lander.\n\nOne aspect of the mission that may not have succeeded, despite initial data returned to Earth, is the drilling operation. While data was received showing the drill fully deployed and there was an apparent transfer between the drill sampling mechanism and the on-board science instruments, there is a chance that because the lander was not anchored to the comet, the drill may have actually lifted it rather than cutting into the ground beneath it. Further analysis of data from the on-board science instruments is required before this can be confirmed. Members of the mission team are currently working through images returned from Philae's ROLIS camera, which may show whether or not the drill cut into the ice and dust under the lander.\n\nSince the landing, Rosetta has continued to study the comet and, amidst all the scientific returns, has delivered stunning images, such as the one shown above.\n\nOrion Readies for Flight\n\nNASA's next-generation crewed launch vehicle, Orion, is fast approaching its first test flight.

In the previous installments, we discussed what gratuitous ARP is, how it is implemented in the OpenStack Neutron L3 agent, and set the stage for a specific failure by dismissing simpler causes. This post continues the investigation into that failure beyond the scope of OpenStack components. Readers are advised to familiarize themselves with the earlier posts before proceeding.\n\nTo recap, a series of Tempest connectivity tests were failing in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RH-OSP) version 11 environment when connecting to a floating IP address. Initial log triage indicated that internal connectivity for the affected instances was functioning correctly and that the Neutron L3 agent was invoking the arping tool at the appropriate times. Despite this, the \"undercloud\" node—the machine executing the Tempest tests—experienced timeout failures.\n\nBefore diving deeper, it is helpful to step back and examine the deployment architecture more closely. Specifically, how are the floating IP addresses intended to function in this particular setup? Is the Tempest node on the same Layer 2 network segment as the floating IP range, or is it connected via a Layer 3 router?\n\nThe failing jobs deployed Red Hat OpenStack using Director, also known as TripleO. Deploying a cloud using bare TripleO is not a straightforward task, which is why several tools exist to prepare development and testing environments. One such tool is tripleo-quickstart, which is more popular among upstream developers, while another is Infrared, favored by CI engineers. The failing jobs in question were all deployed using Infrared.\n\nInfrared is a powerful tool. While I will not delve into every detail, it supports multiple compute providers, allowing the cloud to be deployed on libvirt or on top of another OpenStack cloud. It can deploy both RH-OSP and RDO onto provisioned nodes, utilize different installers such as TripleO or packstack, and execute Tempest tests, collect logs, and configure SSH tunnels to provisioned nodes for direct access. For more details, one can refer to its documentation.\n\nAs noted, the failing jobs were all deployed using Infrared on top of a powerful remote libvirt hypervisor. This setup created several nodes with distinct roles:\n\nA single \"undercloud\" node used to provision the actual \"overcloud\" multinode setup. This node also runs the Tempest tests.\nThree \"overcloud\" controllers, all hosting Neutron L3 agents.\nA single \"overcloud\" compute node hosting Nova instances.\n\nAll nodes ran as KVM guests on the same hypervisor, connected to each other via multiple isolated libvirt networks, each carrying a distinct type of traffic. After Infrared deployed the \"undercloud\" and \"overcloud\" nodes, it executed the \"neutron\" set of tests, which includes both API and scenario tests from the Tempest and Neutron trees.\n\nAs previously mentioned, the \"undercloud\" node is the one executing the Tempest tests. This node is connected to an external network that hosts all floating IP addresses for the preconfigured public network. The node's eth2 interface is directly plugged into this network. The virtual interface is consequently connected to the hypervisor's external Linux kernel bridge, where the external eth2 interfaces for all controllers are also connected.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11673, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "085c9ef3525d1ae7f4f4db07cdb4a67506ae267c", "raw_chars": 3193, "clean_chars": 3279, "edit_ratio": 0.1916, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The state government has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a $68 billion statewide bullet-train project that is highly unlikely to ever be built. As the cliché goes, when you are in a hole, stop digging. Yet even after two brutal court defeats on Monday, such common sense remains absent from Governor Jerry Brown's administration.\n\nIn one decision, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny ruled that the California High-Speed Rail Authority could not proceed with using billions of dollars in bond funds to begin construction. The authority had not credibly identified funding sources for the entire $31 billion required to finish the 300-mile initial segment, nor had it completed the necessary environmental reviews for that segment. These requirements were among the taxpayer protections written into law by California voters in November 2008, when they narrowly voted for Proposition 1A to allow the state to issue $9.95 billion in bonds as seed money for the project. Judge Kenny stated that the state must develop a plan that complies with these requirements.\n\nIn a second ruling, Kenny refused to validate a state committee's decision to allow the issuance of $8.6 billion in bonds for bullet-train construction because the committee offered no evidence that such a move was reasonable or necessary. \"The court cannot conclude that this approval of bonds without review is the result the voters intended,\" he wrote.\n\nKenny did not order all work to stop. The rail authority has been given more than $3 billion in unencumbered federal funds for the project by the Obama administration. However, he rejected arguments made by the Attorney General's Office that the Legislature, rather than state law, had the final say on how state bonds were used.\n\nAs a practical matter, this means construction cannot start unless the state finds $25 billion or more in solid financing, which is highly unlikely given a ban on revenue guarantees to investors. Nor can it start until the state completes all environmental reviews for the initial 300-mile segment, a process that could take years.\n\nThese are immense obstacles. Yet instead of acknowledging their seriousness, rail authority board Chairman Dan Richard depicted them as predictable challenges. A spokeswoman stated that the authority would proceed with its plans to seize land for the project in the Central Valley via eminent domain.\n\nThis approach is in keeping with Richard's full-speed-ahead bravado, but it is also unconscionable. It disrupts the lives and livelihoods of Central Valley residents for a project that is now an extreme long shot, solely to create an apparition of progress.\n\nBefore this happens, it is time for a \"have you no shame?\" intervention in Sacramento. If Jerry Brown will not take Richard to the woodshed, then it is time for a senior Democratic leader to take Brown to the woodshed.\n\nA decade ago, when he was attorney general, Treasurer Bill Lockyer criticized the \"puke politics\" of Governor Gray Davis.

Instead, you can use the built-in Date And Time Functions to store dates and times as TEXT, REAL, or INTEGER values. TEXT is used for strings in the format \"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS\". REAL is used for Julian day numbers, which represent the number of days since noon in Greenwich on November 24, 4714 B.C. according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

Each death felt like a final provocation in careers defined by them. Music fans mourned Bowie’s passing on January 10th, following a secret battle with cancer, by clinging to his stunning and meta final album, released just two days earlier, and by spending weeks delving into every facet of his career and iconography. By April 21st, we were doing the same for Prince, whose drug-related death still feels like a bad dream. He was supposed to outlive us all, with his perfect 90-year-old self suspended in chaps. In the time between these two deaths, *ANTI*, *TLOP*, and *Lemonade* arrived, all with little to no advanced warning. In the weeks following Prince’s passing, *Views* finally made its debut after years of unwarranted hype, while *A Moon Shaped Pool* pulled back Radiohead’s curtain of slow-simmering secrecy.\n\nI’m not saying all these events are related in a literal, cause-and-effect kind of way, so much as they juxtaposed one another more cosmically. With two crucial musicians ripped from the world so suddenly, maybe time just felt a little more precious. These albums that pop’s perfectionists had been working on over the last couple of years demanded their existence now. And in their own ways, the rollouts surrounding each attempted to catch us off-guard, whether that meant hiding in plain sight via an HBO special, updating in real time so much it made you question the state of the album as a format, or single-handedly capturing the ineptitude of Tidal.\n\nThere’s something else at hand here, though—something bigger than Bowie and Prince, if you can imagine that. Historically, art has flourished in times of immense cultural shift. Think of all the great music that came out of the latter half of the 1960s and into the 1970s, as America reckoned with ugly truths about race, gender, sexuality, and war abroad, fighting over what society had been and what it should be. Now think of where we’re at currently with race-related police brutality, with LGBT rights and the growing disassembly of gender as a concept, with violently real threats of terror, and with an election that can feel at times like a close-minded reaction to it all. It’s not hard to imagine listeners clinging more closely to music in these times of fear and uncertainty, and for musicians to feel like it’s time to put art out into the world.\n\nMainstream music echoed the movements of four and five decades ago, but even art that wasn’t overtly political gets tied up in the general cultural feeling of the era, especially in hindsight. Drake’s work is wholly apolitical—his ego sucks up all the available air—and though *ANTI* is her best album by far, Rihanna isn’t exactly crafting calls to action.

When the grand jury finally returned an indictment in 1987, it presented a sophisticated and damning picture of the Currys’ drug business. Johnny Curry decided to take a plea deal in exchange for a 20-year sentence. The other 19 defendants, ever the loyal soldiers, fell in line and took their own deals.

The Curry organization had gone down.\n\nThe fall of the Currys was a testament to Wershe’s value as an informant. Many significant details had come from him, gleaned in the hours he had spent in Curry’s house, in the passenger seat of his car, and on trips to Belle Isle. Wershe’s \"efforts were significantly instrumental to our success,\" Kevin Greene, a Detroit police officer who worked on the Curry investigation, would attest years later. \"His involvement was known to and supported by the FBI, the DEA, and the Detroit Police Department.\" The day that Curry was sentenced, however, Wershe was in a courthouse across town, at his own trial.\n\nBy the time the police had searched his grandparents’ house and recovered the money and the nearby box of cocaine eight months earlier, the authorities had ended their relationship with him. According to the FBI records, the Wershes’ handlers officially \"closed\" Rick Sr. as an informant in June 1986, nearly a year before his son’s arrest. They may have pulled away because they sensed Wershe was becoming a cocaine dealer of some note. At one point, Groman told Wershe’s father that they had evidence of his son’s dealing; Rick Sr. remembers Groman playing him an audio recording as proof. Whatever the reason, Wershe’s pager had gone quiet. Now he was on his own.\n\nWershe’s arrest and trial transfixed Detroit as the city marveled at the idea of a white teenage kingpin whom a judge had called \"worse than a mass murderer.\" In retrospect, however, it seems clear that Wershe’s notoriety exceeded his real significance in the trade. \"The notion that an 18-year-old kid—white, black, or purple—was the boss of the streets in the city of Detroit in the ’80s is so ludicrous as to deserve no further comment,\" Steve Fishman, a prominent defense attorney in the city, told me as we sat in a nearly empty bar one afternoon in downtown Detroit. Fishman emphasized that he would know: He was the go-to lawyer for the true bosses of the era, representing Demetrius Holloway, Maserati Rick, and others. \"It was a joke\" among his colleagues, Fishman said, that people placed Rick Wershe on the same level as those men.\n\nMuch of Wershe’s notoriety stemmed from his role as an alleged supplier of crack cocaine.

Of course, once designed, the open-source medical tools can be 3D printed and used anywhere in the world for pennies on the dollar.\n\nDesigners and winners can come from anywhere in the world. So, if you are interested in trying your hand at 3D design for a good cause, perhaps try OpenSCAD (the programmer's solid modeling tool) to make the designs. Make sure to submit to an open 3D repository as well as the contest to get your ideas out to the world.\n\nThe two main challenge categories are:\n\nHealthy Mamas and Babies: Prenatal toolkit neonatal aspirators\nHIV Prevention: Infant Mogen clamp alternatives, and Prepex placement and removal tools\n\nThe final designs are due on March 20, and a winner selected by March 31. The winning team will get to share $500 prize money and will have the opportunity to have their design field tested in hospital facilities by Jhpiego doctors and the chance to become real products that save lives.\n\nJoin by registering on 3DHeals & ReFab Dar 3D Printing Design Hackathon.

To comply with the minimum rifle barrel length requirement for civilian sales in the United States, the Uzi carbine is typically fitted with a 16-inch (410 mm) barrel, though a small number were produced with the standard-length barrel for special markets. It fires from a closed-bolt position in semi-automatic mode only and utilizes a floating firing pin rather than a fixed one. The selector switch, modeled after the FS-style design, features two positions: \"F\" for fire (semi-automatic) and \"S\" for safe, with the automatic setting blocked. Uzi carbines are available in .22LR, 9mm, .41 AE, and .45 ACP calibers.\n\nThe Uzi carbine has two primary variants: the Model A, imported from 1980 to 1983, and the Model B, imported from 1983 until 1989. Both variants were imported and distributed by Action Arms.\n\nThe American firm Group Industries manufactured limited numbers of a copy of the Uzi \"B\" model semi-automatic carbine for the U.S. market, alongside copies of the Uzi submachine gun for collectors. After registering several hundred transferable submachine guns through a special government-regulated process, production was halted due to the company's financial troubles. The company's assets, including partially manufactured Uzi submachine guns, parts, and tooling, were purchased by an investment group that later became known as Vector Arms. Vector Arms subsequently built and marketed numerous versions of the Uzi carbine and the Mini Uzi.\n\nToday, while the civilian manufacture, sale, and possession of post-1986 select-fire Uzis and their variants are prohibited in the United States, it remains legal to sell templates, tooling, and manuals to complete such conversions. These items are typically marketed as \"post-sample\" materials for use by Federal Firearm Licensees to manufacture and distribute select-fire variants of the Uzi for law enforcement, military, and overseas customers.\n\nThe Mini Uzi carbine resembles the Mini Uzi machine pistol in appearance. It is fitted with a 19.8-inch barrel to meet the minimum rifle overall length requirement for civilian sales in the United States. Like the standard carbine, it fires from a closed-bolt position in semi-automatic mode only.\n\nThe Uzi Pistol is a semi-automatic, closed-bolt, blowback-operated pistol variant with a muzzle velocity of 345 m/s. It is essentially a Micro Uzi without a shoulder stock or full-automatic firing capability. The pistol was designed for security agencies requiring a high-capacity semi-automatic pistol, as well as civilian shooters seeking those qualities with the familiarity of the Uzi design. It was introduced in 1984 and produced until 1993.\n\nThe Uzi Pro Pistol is a current version of the Uzi pistol. It features rails on the top and bottom and offers an optional stabilizing brace. Unlike other Uzi variants, the Uzi Pro Pistol has a side-charging handle instead of a top-charging handle and includes a three-stage safety system. This system consists of a thumb safety, a grip safety, and a firing pin block. Intended for both law enforcement and civilian use, the model is favored for its compact size, rails, and semi-automatic rate of fire. Unlike other Uzi variants, the Uzi Pro Pistol is chambered exclusively for 9x19 Parabellum.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11708, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "07b2c4dc15f308df2df546ca33e0bb5af54ce1d1", "raw_chars": 3357, "clean_chars": 3289, "edit_ratio": 0.4427, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Uzi was available with caliber conversion kits in .22 LR or .41 AE. The operator simply had to change the barrel, bolt, and magazine. The .22 LR variant used 20-round magazines; the original IMI kit utilized a barrel insert, while the aftermarket Action Arms kit required a full replacement barrel. The .41 AE also featured a 20-round magazine. Since it shared the same bolt face as the 9×19mm Parabellum, only the barrel and magazine needed to be swapped out.\n\nIMI also manufactured a .45 ACP conversion kit, available in a full-auto/open-bolt configuration with a 10.2-inch barrel for the 9mm SMG, and a semi-automatic/closed-bolt configuration with a 16-inch barrel for the carbine version. Magazine capacity was limited, with options for 16 and 10 rounds.\n\nAftermarket caliber conversions also existed in .40 S&W and 10mm Auto. Because these calibers had a similar bolt face to the 9×19mm Parabellum, the bolt did not need to be changed. The .40 S&W kit could be used with the standard 9mm Uzi, but the 10mm Auto kit required the .45 ACP Uzi due to its larger size and greater power.\n\nOperational use\n\nThe Uzi submachine gun was designed by Captain (later Major) Uziel Gal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The weapon was submitted to the Israeli Army for evaluation and was selected over more conventional designs due to its simplicity and economical manufacturing. Although Gal did not want the weapon named after him, his request was ignored. The Uzi was officially adopted in 1951. First introduced to IDF special forces in 1954, the weapon entered general issue two years later. The earliest Uzis were equipped with a short, fixed wooden buttstock, and this was the version that initially saw combat during the 1956 Suez Campaign. Later models were fitted with a folding metal stock.\n\nThe Uzi served as a personal defense weapon for rear-echelon troops, officers, artillery personnel, and tankers, as well as a frontline weapon for elite light infantry assault forces. Its compact size and firepower proved instrumental in clearing Syrian bunkers and Jordanian defensive positions during the 1967 Six-Day War. Although the weapon was phased out of frontline IDF service in the 1980s, some Uzis and Uzi variants remained in use by a few IDF units until December 2003, when the IDF announced the retirement of the Uzi from all forces. It was subsequently replaced by the fully automatic Micro Tavor.\n\nIn general, the Uzi was a reliable weapon in military service. However, even the Uzi succumbed to extreme conditions of sand and dust. During the Sinai Campaign of the Yom Kippur War, IDF Army units reaching the Suez Canal reported that of all their small arms, only the 7.62 mm FN MAG machine gun remained operational.\n\nThe Uzi proved especially useful for mechanized infantry requiring a compact weapon, and for infantry units clearing bunkers and other confined spaces. However, its limited range and accuracy in automatic fire (approximately 50 meters) could be disconcerting when encountering enemy forces armed with longer-range small arms, and heavier support weapons could not always substitute for a longer-ranged individual weapon. These shortcomings eventually led to the phasing out of the Uzi from IDF frontline assault units.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11724, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f7dd649edf798d142586a8d8852b42ea362d6e5f", "raw_chars": 3455, "clean_chars": 3455, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Much of today’s television landscape has been shaped by the work of the inimitable David Lynch. True Detective, The Killing, Broadchurch—you name it—wouldn’t have materialized if not for Twin Peaks, his supernatural serial drama that debuted in 1990.\n\nBut, it’s been eight years since the singular mind behind film classics like Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive birthed a feature (the last was Inland Empire in ’06). Since then, he’s been occupied painting, working on a music album—Crazy Clown Time, released in ’11—and running the David Lynch Foundation, which seeks to heal everyone, from war veterans plagued by PTSD to young children, through Transcendental Meditation.\n\nI had the pleasure of speaking with Lynch about everything from his influential foundation, to when we can expect to see his next film, to disappointing Kanye West.\n\nI just saw your fantastic ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video.\n\n[Laughs] Oh. Great trumpet playing, huh? I had to do two buckets because two people challenged me, so I thought it should have some music to it. And I’m a great trumpet player. And for some reason, I wanted to nominate Vladimir Putin. He might want to take part in helping some people.\n\nI think that might be a stretch for him, but we’ll see. I had an interesting chat with Soledad O’Brien recently in L.A. about Transcendental Meditation, and how it’s really helping war veterans cope with PTSD—in particular, with the Save A Warrior project.\n\nI’ve been practicing TM for 41 years, and if you’re a human being, Transcendental Meditation will work for you. Pretty much everybody’s got stress these days, and more and more people have traumatic stress. Traumatic stress, tension, depression, sorrow, hate, anger, and fear—all of these things in the family of negativity—these things start to lift away when you get a technique that allows you to transcend every day; to experience the deepest, most eternal level of life; that field of pure consciousness and unity at the base of all matter and mind. It works the first time, and every time. And soldiers who are suffering from PTSD, it’s like their lives are in this pressure cooker, and the pressure is so great that it affects all their life in the most negative way—their family, kids, friendships—and it’s no fun being alive. So when they get the technique to transcend, this huge pressure gets released. They say, “I have my life back again,” and all they have to do is stay regular in their meditation—transcend every day—and their lives will keep getting better and better.\n\nAnd you said you started 41 years ago. How did that happen?When The Beatles were meditating with Maharishi in ’68, I thought that was great for them but I had zero interest in meditating. I just wanted to work, and thought it was a fad that would go away. Then, I heard a phrase, “True happiness is not out there. True happiness lies within.” That had a ring of truth for me. And then I thought, “Maybe meditation is a way to go in and find that happiness.” And then I started looking into all types of meditation but nothing seemed right to me. Then, my sister called and said she’d started Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and I saw a change in her voice that sounded like more happiness and more assuredness, and I said, “That’s what I want.” And I went and got it, and never looked back.\n\nYou’ve been working on a documentary on Maharishi for quite some time, right?", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11738, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8ff12fa71651290b4bafee9632a7ebb54952d4f0", "raw_chars": 1484, "clean_chars": 1466, "edit_ratio": 0.0685, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "IWS has also installed its system at a community theatre complex in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond.

I thought I would give you a brief impressions write-up with some pictures. First impression: well, it is a 1911. We have all seen one before, but we have to start this parade somewhere. It came with two of the magazines shown in the picture. They are basic 1911 magazines that hold eight rounds, featuring standard round-top metal followers. As is typical, these start as the same blanks as any other 1911 magazine and get a groove to narrow the mag a bit inside and different feed lips. The magazines behave exactly as you would expect.\n\nNext, I started checking the fit. The slide fits nicely and moves smoothly once I removed the shipping oil and applied some Slipstream Styx to the gun. There is no side-to-side or up-and-down play. If I were to pick a nit, I would say that they could have blended it a little better on the right rear side, but to be honest, I didn't notice until I was cropping pictures for this post, so it is a pretty fine nit to pick. The barrel is as advertised and has a nicely recessed crown. You can see in the picture a bit of copper fouling on the nitride finish. I wish I could say that I put that copper there, but it is from the factory test fire.\n\nRuger did mar the finish with the typical warning prominently etched on the bottom of the dust cover. Thanks, Mom. I will do that. In all fairness, I get that in today's world, such a warning is very standard. But it is very prominent in this location, and the text is much larger than on any of my other guns. I really think they could have done this much more subtly. As we discussed in another thread, the ejection port is lowered but not flared. However, the rear edge is filed back somewhat, almost rounded. I was planning on cutting a flare first thing, but I think I will wait and see what the brass looks like first.\n\nNow, for the one real complaint in what is otherwise a pretty flawless basic 1911 execution: the grip safety is pretty poorly fit, in my humble opinion. It rattles about and has a good bit of loose play. Some of that I can correct with the sear spring, but the side-to-side play is not likely to be addressed by that. The beavertail is also interesting. Maybe I am just out of it, but I have never seen one that scallops back in like that. It is just wider than the hammer. I am sure it works well, but it just doesn't look quite right. Perhaps it will grow on me. I can see reducing its footprint in this way on a gun designed for concealed carry, but on a gun that is more about accuracy and power than concealment, I don't get why you alter the profile in this way. Perhaps this is how all SR1911s are and I just never paid attention. Perhaps I am more sensitive to it since the part is so poorly fit to begin with.\n\nTakedown was as you would expect for a full-length guide rod. At some point, you have to capture the recoil spring with a paper clip. The hole is easily accessible with the slide locked to the rear. I personally capture it after I remove the slide, which works too if you are familiar with the method. The trigger \"out of the box\" was gritty and had a good bit of creep. The gun had minimal shipping lube, and shipping lube is more for corrosion protection than friction reduction. I did not detail strip the gun. I field stripped it and blew some cleaner into the action. I then lubed it up liberally with Slipstream Styx. Once that was done, the pull smoothed out a bunch.

The NCI is providing about half the funding, primarily for the U.S.-based centers, with contributions also coming from Canadian nonprofits and the British and Swiss governments.\n\nGiven recent cutbacks in U.S. government funding, both Goodwin and Dr. Lois Shepherd, senior investigator with the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group, believe that what they've done probably can't be replicated.\n\n\"If this trial had come forward for approval today, I'm not sure it would be approved — and it has nothing to do with the science,\" says Shepherd.\n\nThe Sukhatmes hope that Global Cures can serve as a matchmaker between researchers who want to conduct trials on promising alternatives and family foundations or other donors that might fund them. The group also plans to use crowdsourcing to raise money from patients and others who may want to donate to trials.\n\nPatient groups have become much more active in the way they approach the funding of trials, says Kenneth Kaitin, director of the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, who believes that the research gap identified by Global Cures exists across multiple diseases.\n\n\"[Patients] have a vested interest in seeing the product developed,\" he says. \"Their goal is not to make a lot of money but to get [the drugs] out.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11746, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8944b774618191ff88c3dfdff1974e81c08b1ea8", "raw_chars": 3408, "clean_chars": 3413, "edit_ratio": 0.0007, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "New research on the structure of spider silk, presented at the Biophysical Society Meeting this week in Baltimore, is advancing the development of artificial alternatives.\n\nWASHINGTON, D.C., February 10, 2015 -- Incredibly tough, slightly stretchy spider silk is a lightweight, biodegradable wonder material with numerous potential biomedical applications. But although humans have been colonizing relatively placid silkworms for thousands of years, harvesting silk from territorial and sometimes cannibalistic spiders has proven impractical. Instead, labs hoping to harness spider silk's mechanical properties are using its molecular structure as a template for their own biomimetic silks.\n\nA team of researchers from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia is focusing on the toughest of the spider's seven types of silk--aciniform silk, used to wrap up prey that blunders into its web. Over the past few years, they have gradually unraveled its protein architecture and begun to understand the connection between its structure and function. They will present their latest findings at the 59th meeting of the Biophysical Society, held Feb. 7-11 in Baltimore, Md.\n\nThe first step in creating artificial spider silk is to replicate the proteins that make up the natural version, in this case by recombinantly expressing them in E. coli. The key protein in aciniform silk, AcSp1, has three parts. Most of the protein is a repeated sequence of about two hundred amino acids. Two tails called the N- and C-terminal domains hang off each end of the protein chain.\n\nJan Rainey's group at Dalhousie University used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to analyze the structure of AcSp1's repeat sequence at very high resolution, producing one of the first spider silk repeat unit structure sequences to be reported. When they then linked more repeats together, they learned that the repeat units behaved in a modular fashion. That is, each one acted as an individual unit, instead of taking on new structure by being connected to other units. Such modularity has important consequences: it means that scientists trying to engineer artificial silk proteins can vary the length of the protein without sacrificing the entire protein's function. Plus, it means that researchers can focus on optimizing smaller, more manageable protein components before linking them together to form a large functional protein.\n\nThe next step in creating artificial silk is to spin the proteins into long strands. Spiders have specialized equipment to accomplish this task, but finding the precise laboratory conditions that recreate this process is one of the biggest challenges of creating biomimetic silks. At least for the moment, spiders are more skillful spinners than humans.\n\nHowever, the researchers have found a clue to the fiber formation process in the c-terminal domain.\n\nThey determined that although in some cases silk proteins can link into fibers without the c-terminal domain, the region in general helped with fiber formation -- fibers made of proteins with c-terminal domains tended to be tougher and stronger. In addition, the researchers found replacing the aciniform silk c-terminal domains with c-terminal domains from other types of spider silk also improved fiber formation. The findings suggested that the c-terminal domain could potentially be manipulated to adjust the strength and toughness of the fibers.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11760, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "99af0019dd8dc185e220b9200986d4f00cb0634f", "raw_chars": 1006, "clean_chars": 1123, "edit_ratio": 0.6947, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A new Android phone has arrived, which means open-source enthusiasts can once again take a look under the hood thanks to publicly available kernel files.

Making someone wait is an effective way to reduce their status while enhancing your own. This dynamic is visible whenever people wait in line at a restaurant or cinema; everyone assumes the wait will be worthwhile, otherwise, why would they wait?\n\nAlways have a mobile phone, laptop, or work documents visible to make the best use of your time and demonstrate that you are a busy professional. When the person who kept you waiting finally comes out to meet you, slowly lift your head from your work, greet them, and then pack up smoothly and confidently.

This gives them privacy and demonstrates that you do not waste your time.\n\nFake It Till You Make It?\n\nIf you talk to your counterparts using gestures signaling openness, does this mean you can tell grand stories about what you can accomplish and get away with it? Not necessarily. If you use open postures while lying, your palms are likely to sweat, your cheeks may twitch, and your pupils may constrict. The most competent liars are those who can fully inhabit their acting role and behave as if they actually believe the lie. A professional actor who can do this better than anyone else is presented with an Oscar. While we are not suggesting you tell lies, there is powerful evidence that if you practice the positive skills mentioned throughout this guide, they will become second nature and serve you well for the rest of your life.\n\nScientists proved the 'fake it till you make it' concept using tests on birds. In many bird species, the more dominant a bird is, the darker its plumage will be. Darker-colored birds are first in line for food and mates. Researchers took a number of lighter, weaker birds and dyed their plumage dark so that they would appear to be 'lying' to the other birds about their dominance. However, the 'liar' birds were attacked by the real dominant birds because they were still displaying weak and submissive body language. In subsequent tests, the weaker birds, both male and female, were not only dyed but also injected with testosterone to make them act dominantly. This time, the 'liars' succeeded because they began strutting around and acting in confident, superior ways, which completely fooled the real dominant birds.

One factor, research shows, has a larger-than-expected impact on the outcome: the job seeker's ability, within the first few minutes of a meeting, to spark an elusive form of interpersonal chemistry called rapport.\n\nHow do you forge a quick connection with a stranger? Bartenders, retail employees, stand-up comedians, and police investigators do it routinely, and researchers have studied their techniques. Their skills can be helpful in a job interview.\n\nOn the verbal front, make the assessment: Is a hiring manager open to small talk? If that appears to be the case, start the conversation on a positive note. Retail and service-sector employees who perform well tend to pay close attention to customers and engage them in pleasant, upbeat conversations, research shows. Seek out any common interests or shared experiences to banter about. Simple examples include asking friendly questions about their favorite sports, asking about their family if pictures are on a desk, asking how their commute was, or complimenting the interviewer on their choice of watch, jewelry, or clothing.\n\nKeep in mind that others form up to 90% of their opinion about you in the first four minutes. Research indicates repeatedly that the goodly majority of the impact you will make is via your non-verbal presentation.\n\nWe do live in an increasingly casual world, which is having an effect on our personal interactions in what are traditionally formalized settings. That said, here are guidelines to getting it right in an interview:\n\nIn the Reception Area\n\nRemove any coat and leave it with a receptionist if possible. Avoid entering an office with your arms full, distracting from your presentation. Always stand in a reception area, never sit. Receptionists will insist you 'take a seat' because when you do, you're out of sight and they no longer have to deal with you. Stand and slowly rock back and forth on your feet, which appears confident and in control. This body language is a constant reminder to a receptionist that you are still waiting.\n\nOffice Entry\n\nYour entry tells others how you expect to be treated. When the receptionist has given you the go-ahead to enter, walk in without hesitation. Do not stand in the doorway, as this suggests doubt or caution. When you walk through the door of the person's office, maintain the same speed. People who lack confidence often change up their pace in this context, perhaps entering the room with slight hesitation.\n\nThe Approach\n\nEven if the person is on their landline or mobile phone or shuffling something on their desk, walk in directly and confidently with a smooth motion. Put down any laptop, mobile phone, briefcase, or whatever else may be in your hands, shake the person's hand, and immediately take a seat. Let the other person see that you are accustomed to walking confidently into offices and that you don't expect to be kept waiting. People who walk slowly convey that they have plenty of time on their hands or are not interested in what they are doing. Influential people and those who want to command attention walk at a medium pace with medium-length strides.\n\nThe Handshake", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11758, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "f39baabafec351cab9b929b2a95bd31f67743416", "raw_chars": 3262, "clean_chars": 3087, "edit_ratio": 0.5514, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "I am still with Breezer as a designer. The association with ASI has freed me from the details of running a company, allowing me to concentrate on design and product development. I don’t have the same level of control over every detail of every finished product, but I am able to work on many more projects and create more bikes than when I had my own company. I am continuing with transportation bikes for both Europe and the US, and I am also designing mountain and road bikes again.\n\nWhen asked about emerging technologies playing a larger role in the future of transportational cycling, particularly belt drives and alternative drivetrain systems, the designer noted that as the secret of everyday biking is getting out in America, there is a lot of growth for cycling in the coming years. New cyclists tend to appreciate things that make cycling easier, so internally-geared hubs like Shimano’s Nexus series of low-maintenance, easy-to-shift transmissions are becoming quite popular. New technology is inspiring. The designer was certainly inspired by the Nexus hub, seeing it as an opening to introduce a Netherlands-type cycling lifestyle to the US. He first spec’d a bike with the Nexus 7 hub in 1996 (the Breezer Ignaz X), then designed his Breezer Town bikes around Nexus hubs in the early 2000s. The 2011 Breezer Uptown Infinity (∞) features the NuVinci transmission hub with infinitely variable ratios. NuVinci is even easier to shift. People have asked for a fully automatic bicycle transmission forever, and this NuVinci hub will develop into a game changer. Though bicycles have remained fairly constant for a century or so, the bicycle of tomorrow could be quite different.\n\nRegarding Breezer's electric bikes, the designer stated that electric bikes will see much broader appeal and that they hope to offer more electric systems in the Breezer commuter line.\n\nOn the topic of the U.S. lagging behind other countries in adopting cycling as a valid form of transportation, the designer suggested leveling the playing field by reducing car-driving subsidies, most of which the public is unaware of. He argued that motorists should pay more of the full cost of driving, noting that current gasoline taxation does not come close to covering these costs. This gap ends up robbing funding for better things like education. When there are healthier, more enjoyable ways to get around, he questioned why we give a false sense of the cost of driving.\n\nFor beginning commuters or those looking to reduce their reliance on automobiles, the designer offered several tips. First, get a fully equipped bike. At minimum, it should have a kickstand, rack, full fenders, chainguard, and generator lights. Without the full bill of equipment, it is too easy to find an excuse not to ride: it might get dark, the roads might get wet, or you might need to carry something. Second, get clothes that make riding more comfortable in a broader range of weather. Third, at first, just getting past your front door may be the biggest obstacle.

The focal point for the Karachi Astronomers Society (KAS) is Kastrodome, an observatory that houses a 12.5-inch Newtonian telescope. A team of brothers, led by Mehdi Hussein, has been responsible for constructing the dome and building the telescope, with the primary mirror donated by British astronomer David Rutledge. While LAST holds training sessions on how to take data from the telescope, KAS astronomers hold workshops on how to build your own. One KAS member even started a business importing telescopes and selling them to astronomy enthusiasts in Pakistan.

This started as a smaller activity in 2009, but now it attracts over 100 people for each Rutjaga session. There is now so much interest that the organizers have to place a cap on the number of attendees.

Simply put, public bonds approved to help finance a luxury Midtown apartment tower, potentially as early as next year, are a product of the Recession—specifically, the beginning of it. Dr. Eloisa Klementich of Invest Atlanta, also known as the Atlanta Development Authority, confirmed that her organization will play a key role in financing the development of Yoo on the Park, a 25-story tower situated on a small lot at 207 13th Street. Specifically, Invest Atlanta will provide approximately $60 million in public bonds through a lease-purchase agreement. Over a 10-year period, the developer, Tivoli, will pay taxes starting at 50 percent and increasing by 5 percent annually.\n\nThis is significant news, but according to Klementich, it is not entirely new. She explained that Invest Atlanta offered to assist with the project when it was originally proposed in 2008, a time when development in Midtown and virtually everywhere else had ground to a halt. \"They couldn't find financing,\" Klementich said. At the time, Invest Atlanta's stated goal of encouraging growth in undeveloped areas seemed like a good fit for the project.\n\nHowever, after the bonds were approved, litigation ensued for five years. That legal battle ended this past July, and according to Klementich, her organization could not simply back out. The approach is slightly different, but thanks to an estimated $87 million in future economic output for the city, Invest Atlanta can legally contribute, she said. The bonds are not direct financing but rather \"help make their balance sheet look better, which then allows them to use that attraction to attract more financing to the project,\" she explained. The bond transaction should be completed within a week or two, she added, noting that if the project never happens, the developer receives no benefits.\n\nRegarding the actual project, crews began moving dirt on the site between Juniper and Piedmont earlier this month. Klementich confirmed rumors that construction on the 245-unit tower is slated to begin around the start of next year.\n\nBelieved to be a partnership with the super-modern international design group Yoo and Starck, the project is also expected to include 1,200 square feet of retail space. Last Invest Atlanta had heard, Klementich said, that this space would likely house a small restaurant, coffee shop, or sandwich shop.\n\nBy Tyler Estep, Curbed Atlanta contributor", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11763, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e7e6968e9426efcfd931cac6cea8ee30e3666950", "raw_chars": 3500, "clean_chars": 3551, "edit_ratio": 0.045, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Are the police departments of Ferguson and St. Louis County, Missouri, involved in a conspiracy to obstruct justice in the case of Michael Brown’s murder? It seems disturbingly possible, given their actions over the past month, which have included hiding basic evidentiary information from the public in direct violation of the state’s sunshine laws—and perhaps not even gathering it in the first place. This raises the further possibility that evidence is being hidden from criminal investigators as well, particularly since the investigators have shown no great interest, much less zeal, in getting to the truth of the matter.\n\nOn August 15, the world saw Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson belatedly release Darren Wilson’s name—and no other information at all about the killing of Michael Brown—while at the same time releasing a report, followed by a video, on an unrelated robbery that Brown was apparently involved in. On August 20 and 21, first St. Louis County, then Ferguson released incident reports on the shootings. These reports were virtually devoid of any information. These highly questionable revelations stirred a fair amount of public outrage, but few people seemed to realize how truly sinister they were, or how they connected to much broader patterns of official lawlessness that have long bedeviled St. Louis County, and Missouri more generally, as well as many other jurisdictions across the land.\n\nOn September 5, TheBlot magazine reported that Chief Jackson had lied on August 15, when he claimed that he released the robbery report and video because of numerous media requests. Public records released to TheBlot showed that no one had specifically asked for either of them, while many people had asked for information about the killing of Michael Brown, which Jackson refused to release at that time.\n\nChief Jackson’s press statement at the time thus contained at least two big misstatements: first, that information about the robbery was released because of media requests, and second, that he was releasing all the information requested relative to the shooting of Michael Brown. He stated, \"So, we’ve had this tape for a while, and we had to diligently review the information that was in the tape, determine if there was any other reason to keep it, anybody else that would be charged with a crime, and we had determined that that was not going to be the case. We got a lot of Freedom of Information requests for this tape, and at some point it was just determined we had to release it. We didn’t have good cause, absent any other reason to not release it under FOI. So we decided, the same time, wouldn't be prudent to release that information, which could be a little bit...i don't know... well, we needed to release that at the same time we would release the name of the officer who was involved in the shooting, so that we could just keep open, give you all the information that we have. We've pretty much given you every bit of information that we have now, I don't think there's anything else that we have to give out.\"\n\nBut while Jackson’s high-profile statement may have been outrageously false and misleading, it’s the underlying actions of his department in the shadows that are downright criminal. This is part of a seemingly routine pattern of actual lawbreaking by the police themselves, both in Ferguson and St. Louis County—a persistent pattern that hasn’t stopped, according to emails provided to Salon, even though the Department of Justice has announced it’s going to investigate both organizations.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11763, "chunk_idx": 7, "raw_sha1": "83e1cea2a3e5564600e415dd3114241805d7aea4", "raw_chars": 3423, "clean_chars": 3465, "edit_ratio": 0.3214, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We have proof of one thing: the entire department, actually two departments, are actively defying the law and their own policies to cover up the facts of what Officer Wilson did that day.

Certainly, there is no reason to trust that they can honestly and faithfully participate in the process of inquiring into and investigating the shooting by Officer Wilson.\n\nThe problem is not limited to these two entities, of course.

Without them, citizens can’t possibly direct anything significant, except in the most broad-based terms, and that low-resolution standard is what we’ve been told we should be overjoyed with.

Grapski sent a public records request for incident reports the following day, September 8. Three days later, Grapski received a response from Stephanie Karr, a private attorney who serves as Ferguson’s city attorney—a common practice in St. Louis County. She stated in part:\n\n\"Please be advised that it will take longer than three days, the legal maximum, to process the request. The Department of Justice is currently reviewing those same records, and they will not be available for city officials to retrieve, review, and copy them until sometime later.

Your responsibilities remain, and you need to get a copy of the records from the DOJ to be in compliance with Missouri law.\"\n\nIn short, Ferguson is not only continuing its pattern of violating Missouri’s sunshine laws, it is now seeking to implicate the DOJ as co-conspirators.

Both Margo and Marlene also live a lavish life of luxury, which they use to cultivate high-society connections.\n\nBoth are violent vigilantes, though different interpretations of each also make them less violent and more heroic. Both possess seemingly mystical qualities that can likely be explained by science, specifically psychology; The Shadow’s powers, for instance, are often related to hypnosis. Both employ multiple identities that serve different functions in their missions, and both operate out of New York City. Additionally, both have helicopter-based flying machines: Moon Knight has his Moon Copter, and The Shadow has his gyrocopter.\n\nAn interesting twist to Moon Knight when compared to The Shadow is that while Lamont Cranston, Kent Allard, and Shrevvy are different characters separate from each other, Moon Knight’s equivalents—Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley, respectively—are actually different personalities of the same character.\n\nFrom these comparisons, it becomes clear that the common Moon Knight-to-Batman parallels are largely drawn from aesthetic qualities, whereas the uncommon Moon Knight-to-The Shadow parallels are drawn from characteristics beyond the aesthetic. Therefore, the next time someone tells you, “Moon Knight is a Batman rip-off” or some variation thereof, you can respond, “You’re partially correct, but Moon Knight is inspired more by The Shadow, who is also one of many inspirations for Batman.”\n\nConversations about who inspired what should no longer veer toward the negative connotation that “X is a copy of Y” unless the X character is a blatant carbon copy of the Y character with only a very small handful of aesthetic changes.

Between the major publishers Marvel and DC, there are numerous pairs of characters that appear to be influenced by one another. Whether it is Deadpool and Deathstroke, Namor and Aquaman, or Nova and Green Lantern, fans frequently argue over shared traits to determine which character was copied.\n\nThen there are fans who step in to defend their favorite contested characters with complex, and sometimes convoluted, reasoning. The truth is that most, if not every, superhero was inspired by either another fictional or real-life character, including the first and most famous examples. In a sense, every superhero ripped off someone else.\n\nAs a fan of Marvel’s lunar crusader, Moon Knight, I often feel the same cringe-inducing discomfort that other fans experience when someone claims, \"Moon Knight is a Batman rip-off\" or \"Moon Knight is Marvel's Batman.\" I understand that people use this analogy to instantly familiarize uninitiated audiences with the basics of the character: he is like Batman.\n\nHe does borrow some elements from the Dark Knight. Moon Knight throws Crescent Darts, which are essentially moon-shaped Batarangs. He uses themed transportation, including a Moon Copter that serves as his analog to the Batplane. His secret identity is wealthy and personally funds his vigilantism, much like Bruce Wayne does as Batman. Moon Knight wears a cape that he uses to glide, similar to Batman. He has a butler named Samuels, just as Batman has Alfred. He also owns a mansion with a secret hidden base, akin to Wayne Manor and the Batcave.\n\nThat is where their similarities end. I do not take issue with the fact that people are partially right about Moon Knight borrowing from Batman for these similarities. What I take issue with is the conviction in labeling Moon Knight as guilty of something that Batman allegedly is not, which is completely false: Batman is not innocent of being inspired by other characters.\n\nIt is general comic book lore that Batman's creation was inspired by pre-superhero fictional vigilantes, including Zorro, which was alluded to in Batman's classic origin story when Bruce and his parents saw The Mask of Zorro on the night his parents were killed. Other inspirations include the Scarlet Pimpernel, The Shadow, Doc Savage, Dick Tracy, and Sherlock Holmes. Bob Kane and Bill Finger, Batman's creators, drew inspiration from each of these classic characters, incorporating traits such as being an aristocrat with a heroic double identity and being a master sleuth.\n\nTherefore, Batman cannot be effectively used as a shining example of an original character in comparison to Moon Knight. Batman is just as inspired by other characters as Moon Knight is inspired by Batman. However, Batman is not Moon Knight's only inspiration, nor, as I shall argue, is he his chiefest inspiration.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11793, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b98f8bf7373bb1bb19ba6c7411dd7b1f170ca42f", "raw_chars": 3482, "clean_chars": 3498, "edit_ratio": 0.0186, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Dear Reader,\n\nAs you can imagine, more people are reading The Jerusalem Post than ever before.

My grandfather Haim owned a successful business with several trucks, while my grandmother Gazelle ran the home. They lived in a spacious three-story house while maintaining a simple life. For years, my grandparents tried to maintain a good relationship with their Arab neighbors while practicing the same Jewish traditions that had been passed down in Iraq for centuries.\n\nAll this came crashing down within weeks. With the creation of Israel, the Iraqi government declared that all of their property was to be stripped from them and nationalized, while the local Jewish population was to be expelled. The authorities let these soon-to-be refugees leave with only one suitcase each after it had been carefully searched to ensure no gold or jewelry was taken with them. My four-year-old mother took her favorite rag doll, which served as a solemn reminder for decades to come of our family’s storied past in Iraq.\n\nJust like my family, hundreds of thousands of Jews were expelled from many other Arab countries and Iran. They had to leave everything they cared for behind, their homes, loved ones, and possessions, while making their way to Israel. They ventured into the unknown to come to a new country struggling for its survival.\n\nThey lived in tents and tin shacks, lived with food rationing, were given new names, and began their new lives. With nothing but a suitcase and a rag doll, my family was expelled from a country they had resided in for hundreds of years. In 1948, the year Israel was declared a state, 265,000 Jews lived in Morocco, 150,000 in Iraq, 140,000 in Algeria, 100,000 in Egypt, 100,000 in Tunisia, 55,000 in Lebanon, 40,000 in Libya, 30,000 in Syria, and thousands more throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa, for a grand total of 880,000.\n\nShortly thereafter, over 850,000 Jews were expelled from the very countries they called home. The Arab League rejected the establishment of the State of Israel and ultimately decided on forcing out the absolute majority of Jews from their countries. My family’s expulsion happened overnight but not before being preceded by years of persecution against Iraq’s local Jewish population.\n\nMy grandmother would tell my siblings and me about how her family had to hide in June 1941 during the \"Farhud,\" a two-day pogrom of mass murder, looting, and terror against Iraq’s Jewish population. 179 were killed, 2,100 were wounded, 242 children were orphaned, and more than 50,000 households and businesses were ransacked. Then, in 1947, the demonstrations against the UN resolution on the establishment of a Jewish state brought up memories of the Farhud and led the Jewish population to go into hiding once again.\n\nHundreds of kilometers away in the city of Aleppo in Syria, the situation and results were all too familiar: 75 Jews were murdered, a fifth-century synagogue was destroyed, and hundreds of homes were devastated.

They also worry about street closures limiting access for emergency vehicles and local businesses being cut off from main traffic routes.\n\nBut the plan already has some important support. Detroit city departments have already indicated approval, and to the surprise of many St. Anne’s parishioners, so has the Detroit Archdiocese.\n\n“There’s been a mutually beneficial relationship for many years between the Archdiocese and the Moroun organization,” Michael McInerney, director of properties for the Archdiocese, told the Detroit City Council last week. McInerney said the Archdiocese believes the Bridge Company’s plans address public safety concerns and could actually benefit St. Anne’s. “We’re comfortable that there’s no danger to church properties,” he said.\n\nLongtime neighborhood resident Deb Sumner calls that disappointing. She says the church is a cornerstone of the community and should support its efforts to limit the bridge’s consistently expanding footprint.\n\n“We want to help save the neighborhood and the people, because we’re the parishioners of this church,” Sumner said. “So what in the world would you do if you lose all your people and housing?

If your goal is to grow your personal brand into a public persona, the subtle, mysterious stranger approach is most often not going to cut it. There are only so many people that can pull off the J. D. Salinger route of becoming famous for not being seen. The easier (though more painful) route is to hire a publicist—more explicitly, hire yourself—and will yourself to want to impress the red-carpeted world of celebrities, CEOs, and Twitter famous.\n\nI can’t hold your hand at the events, but here are ten tips for surviving them:\n\nThe following 10 tips are an excerpt from Unlabel: Selling You Without Selling Out. Order your copy today!\n\nAnalog Social Networking 101\n\n1. Value Quality over Quantity\n\nYour publicist will give you a social calendar that’s jammed with events, insisting that you “need to be” at all of them. This is false. Separate the “need to attends” from the “nice to attends,” and this will serve you better in the long run. Chasing the second tier of events will exhaust you and overexpose you, and you’ll burn out faster than yesterday’s news.\n\n2. Don’t Overtly Parrot\n\nMost of the management books tell you to parrot the person you’re trying to impress, suggesting that you nod when she nods, touch your left nostril when she touches her left nostril, and then if she says, “I love Lady Gaga!” you say, “Oh my God, I love Lady Gaga too!!!!” The world does not need more parroting, and it’s okay to not love Lady Gaga.\n\n3. Use Mints\n\nIf, at any point in the day, your mouth has been open and if you’ve consumed food, chances are that your breath stinks. Do yourself a favor and freshen up your face.\n\n4. Don’t Name-Drop\n\nIt’s transparent and obnoxious. When I met George Lucas, even though at heart I was a starstruck fan boy, I would never say, “I saw Harrison Ford last week!” or “I just played golf with Steven Spielberg!” Lame. If you do want to slip in a name, it’s better to use a name that’s more mundane, more grounded, like the celebrity’s lawyer or dentist that you might happen to know.\n\n5. Never Ask for a Card\n\nYou can (and should) give out your business card, but never ask for one in return. If people want to give you a card, they’ll give you their god-damn card.\n\n6. Respect the Handler\n\nThe notable might have a handler (assistant, publicist, manager, associate) standing with him or her at the party. When you meet the notable, also introduce yourself to the sidekick, and when you give the notable a card, give the sidekick a card too. Treat handlers with respect. Not only is this the right thing to do, but this could be the hand of the king—and they’ll later whisper into the king’s ear.\n\n7. Drink Water\n\nThis is work, it’s not a party.\n\n8. Don’t Try to Speak to Everyone\n\nWhen Barry Sanders scored a touchdown, he would casually toss the football back to the ref, shrugging, and living by the credo “Act like you’ve been there before.” Just chill out. Don’t try to meet every celebrity and shake every hand. If you are conducting and managing your personal brand well, part of your brand will be to spend more time in this mildly toxic environment. You’ll be at these events again in the future, so let things happen more organically.\n\n9. It’s Not About Being a “Closer”\n\nLower your expectations about imagining that you may magically seal any deals. These events aren’t the right forum for giving someone the hard sell, for overt pitching, or to become someone’s best friend.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11823, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "fe19a916990597bbef07b2e83f7a8c6d2a73496a", "raw_chars": 2963, "clean_chars": 3091, "edit_ratio": 0.3383, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The suffixes \"Jr.\" or \"II\" are typically used when a child is named after their father, though they are pronounced differently: \"Jr.\" is spoken as \"Junior,\" while \"II\" is pronounced as \"the second.\" Roman numeral suffixes can also be used to name a child after other family members, such as an uncle, cousin, or ancestor, including a grandfather. The suffix \"III\" follows either \"Jr.\" or \"II,\" and like subsequent numeric suffixes, it does not need to be restricted to a single family line.\n\nFor example, if Randall and Patrick Dudley are brothers and Randall has a son named Patrick before Patrick does, Randall will name his son Patrick II. If Patrick then has a son, his son will be Patrick Jr., or Patrick II if Randall does not have a son named Patrick II. As time passes, the \"III\" suffix goes to the son of either Patrick Jr. or Patrick II, whichever brother is first to have a son named Patrick. This is one way it is possible and correct for a Junior to father a \"IV.\" Another example involves President Ulysses S. Grant and his sons Frederick, Ulysses Jr., and Jesse. When Frederick's son Ulysses was born in 1881, Ulysses Jr. did not yet have a son named after himself. Therefore, Frederick's son was named Ulysses III. Ulysses Jr.'s son, born afterwards in 1893, was Ulysses IV. Jesse's son Chapman was the father of Ulysses V, as neither Ulysses III nor Ulysses IV had sons named for themselves.\n\nThere is no hard-and-fast rule regarding what happens to suffixes when the most senior of the name dies. Etiquette expert and humorist Judith Martin, for example, believes they should all move up, but most agree that this is up to the individual families.\n\nAlthough there are instances of daughters being named after their mothers and using the suffix \"Jr.\" (such as Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Jr., Winifred Sackville Stoner Jr., and Carolina Herrera Jr.), or after their grandmothers or aunts with the suffix \"II,\" this is not common. Usually, the namesake is given a different middle name and so would not need a suffix for differentiation. Furthermore, once the woman marries, she would most commonly take the surname of her husband and thus do away with the generational suffix. The title \"Jr.\" is sometimes used in legal documents, particularly those pertaining to wills and estates, to distinguish among female family members of the same name.\n\nA wife who uses the title \"Mrs.\" would also use her husband's full name, including the suffix. In less formal situations, the suffix may be omitted, such as using \"Mrs. Lon Chaney Jr.\" on a wedding invitation, but \"Mrs. L. Chaney\" or simply \"Shannon Chaney\" for a friendly note. Widows are entitled to retain their late husband's full names and suffixes, but divorcees may not continue to style themselves with a former husband's full name and suffix, even if they retain the surname.\n\nJuniors sometimes go by their first initials and \"J\" for \"Jr.\", regardless of their middle initial. Examples include American football players Terrell Ray Ward Jr. (who goes by T.J. Ward) and Erick R. Manuel Jr., who is better known as E.J.

But what about all the other types? One of my first improvements was a way to dump a class that my module did not know about. I knew about the TO_JSON method that the Perl 5 JSON module uses. With that, a class could decide its own JSON representation. I could do that with PrettyDump. If a class or object has a PrettyDump method, my module will use that preferentially:\n\nclass SomeClass { … }\nmethod PrettyDump ( $pretty, $ds, $depth ) { … }\n}\nmy $pretty = PrettyDump.new;\nmy $some-object = SomeClass.new;\nput $pretty.dump: $some-object;\n\nThe class doesn’t need to define that method. I could decorate an object with a PrettyDump method through a role. The but operator can do that for me by creating a new object in a new class that includes that role mixed into the original class:\n\nuse PrettyDump;\nmy $pretty = PrettyDump.new;\nmy Int $a = 137;\nput $pretty.dump: $a;\nmy $b = $a but role { method PrettyDump ( $pretty, $depth = 0 ) { \"({self.^name}) {self}\"; } };\nput $pretty.dump: $b;\n\nMy code looks different from Jeff’s, but it’s not that different. Instead of a given-when, I have an if structure. I collapsed Jeff’s branches into self.can: $ds.^name to look for a matching method to the object type (and introduced a bug while doing it. See it?). The first branch looks for the PrettyDump method. The second does some special handling for numeric things. If none of those work, I die, which is another stupid thing I did at first.\n\nmethod dump ( $ds, $depth = 0 ) {\nput \"In dump. Got \", $ds.^name;\nmy Str $str;\nif $ds.can: 'PrettyDump' {\n$str ~= $ds.PrettyDump: self;\n} elsif $ds ~~ Numeric {\n$str ~= self.Numeric: $ds, $depth;\n} elsif self.can: $ds.^name {\nmy $what = $ds.^name;\n$str ~= self.\"$what\"( $ds, $depth );\n} else {\ndie \"Could not handle \" ~ $ds.perl;\n}\nreturn self.indent-string: $str, $depth;\n}\n\nSo, I kept going. I wanted a way to add (and remove) handlers to a PrettyDump object. I could add those as roles, but I thought about doing this repeatedly and often and didn’t like the idea of the frankenclass that would create. I added a way to do it on my own (although I might change my mind later):\n\nmy $pretty = PrettyDump.new;\nclass SomeClass { … }\nmy $handler = sub ( $pretty, $ds, Int $depth = 0 ) { ... }\n$pretty.add-handler: 'SomeClass', $handler;\nput $pretty.dump: $SomeClass-object;\n\nMy code added a couple more branches (and some code comments to elucidate the process). First, I’d look for a handler. If I’d defined one of those, I’d use it. Otherwise, I went through the same process. I did add some more checks at the end. If nothing else worked, I try a .Str method. Instead of die-ing at the end, I add an “unhandled thingy” string for that object. That way I know that I didn’t handle something and the rest of the program keeps going. That turned out to be more important than I thought. I use this to peek at a program as it executes.

It was a plurality opinion authored by the three moderate justices—Kennedy, O'Connor, and Souter—with the court's two liberals agreeing with some parts and disagreeing with others. Kolbert notes that the plurality's emphasis on \"stare decisis,\" the principle that courts must follow precedent, signaled that the justices understood the challenge to the institutional integrity of the court was real. Justice Kennedy, in particular, did not want the court to be perceived as changing course on abortion simply because the majority's ideological balance had shifted, Kolbert said.\n\nHowever, abortion foes like Paul Linton, who later became special counsel to the Thomas More Society, noted that a \"moral ambiguity\" about abortion pervaded the joint opinion, along with \"the nagging sense\" that the three justices thought Roe had been wrongly decided but upheld it anyway. \"That... does not promote respect for the judiciary, especially in a case where the stakes were so high,\" Linton observed. Abortion opponents felt especially betrayed by Kennedy, a dismay that has only deepened over the years as he authored landmark opinions on gay rights and marriage equality. This is one reason conservative expectations for the Texas abortion case are much more cautious today than they were for Casey. Lynn Wardle, a law professor at Brigham Young University who has written extensively about same-sex marriage and abortion, noted that Kennedy \"doesn't have any clearly defined principles that allow you to predict what he's going to do in any case, in any area.\" She added, \"The best test for being able to predict what he will do is to lick your finger and hold it out to the wind.\"\n\nThe result was a clouded victory for abortion rights. Even as Planned Parenthood v. Casey upheld the right to abortion, the plurality opinion took Roe v. Wade apart, starting with its foundation: the trimester framework. Under Roe, states were almost completely banned from regulating abortion during the first trimester. They had more flexibility to pass laws protecting a woman's health in the second trimester, and they could prohibit most abortions in the third. In contrast, Casey declared that \"[t]he State has legitimate interests from the outset of pregnancy in protecting the health of the woman and the life of the fetus that may become a child.\" Instead of the trimester approach, Casey established viability—the point at which the fetus can survive outside the womb—as the new reference point for determining whether an abortion law was valid. When Roe was decided, fetuses were not considered viable until 28 weeks, or the third trimester; by 1992, medical advances had pushed the line to around 24 weeks. Before viability, Casey said, states could only try to persuade a woman not to have an abortion; laws that made it difficult or impossible for her to act on her decision did not pass muster.

Hundreds of participants, including CIA agents, government employees, military personnel, prostitutes, members of the general public, and mental patients, were given LSD, many without their knowledge or consent. The experiments often involved severe psychological torture. To guard against outward reactions, doctors conducted experiments in clinics and laboratories where subjects were monitored by EEG machines and had their words recorded. Some studies investigated whether drugs, stress, or specific environmental conditions could be used to break prisoners or to induce confessions.\n\nThe CIA also created The Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, which served as a funding front that provided grants to social scientists and medical researchers investigating questions of interest related to the MK-ULTRA program. Between 1960 and 1963, the CIA gave $856,782 worth of grants to different organizations. The researchers eventually concluded that LSD's effects were too varied and uncontrollable to make it of any practical use as a truth drug, and the project moved on to other substances. It would be decades before the U.S. government admitted the existence of the project and offered apologies to the families of those who were forced to participate in the experiments. During this time period, the use of LSD for psychochemical warfare was under consideration and testing, among other substances. Looking to replicate the effects of nerve gas created by the Germans during World War II without the toxicity, LSD was sought for use under the pretense that it could induce hysteria and psychoses, or at least an inability to fight without wholesale destruction of the enemy and their properties. Thousands of tests on willing research subjects took place at the Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, with the ultimate conclusion being that LSD was too unpredictable and uncontrollable for any tactical use.\n\nRecreational use\n\nFrom 1960 to 1980\n\nLSD began to be used recreationally in certain circles, primarily among medical professionals. Mainly academics and medical professionals, who became acquainted with LSD in their work, began using it themselves and sharing it with friends and associates. Among the first to do so was British psychiatrist Humphry Osmond.\n\nPsychedelic subculture goes mainstream", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11839, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "f8374836fc71ee20e6d43b0d1ba215552c1f71ff", "raw_chars": 3075, "clean_chars": 2955, "edit_ratio": 0.4965, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Internal e-mails often act as a reality check against more formal documents or pronouncements. One of my largest cases, involving over one million documents in the electronic database, centered on public representations made by the officers of a publicly traded corporation during investor conference calls. They claimed that a major IT re-engineering project was progressing well, even though internal e-mails and other documents revealed that the project was failing and that the officers were fully aware of this.\n\nI frequently encounter a major disconnect between what is included in formal status reports or inter-party communications and what is actually being said internally by one side or the other. In both project failure and intellectual property cases, it is often crucial to trace the lines of communication regarding key information. For instance, if Alice sends an e-mail about topic X to Bob and copies Carol at a specific time, and Carol subsequently holds a meeting with Dave about X, it becomes clear that Carol entered that meeting with knowledge of what Alice had written. This may seem obvious, but I have seen cases hinge on just such a chain of events, allowing me to draw inferences about the context of Carol and Dave's meeting that would have been impossible otherwise.\n\nE-mail productions can also help flush out other documents and e-mails. Produced e-mails often indicate that they have one or more documents attached, but there are times when those documents have not been produced. Similarly, e-mails may mention other unattached documents or reference earlier e-mails on related topics, which may also have been withheld. Subsequent requests can then be made to produce these additional e-mails and documents.\n\nThe production format of documents, including e-mails, is critical. When I began doing expert witness work in 1999, almost all documents I received were produced in hard copy. On a new case, I would receive anywhere from a few to a few dozen file boxes of documents, often in Bates-stamped order rather than chronological or topical. This made reading and especially searching through the documents very time-consuming.\n\nToday, the vast majority of document production is electronic, typically in PDF format, with the text already run through optical character recognition (OCR). This allows the documents to be readily indexed and searched. In modern litigation, if one side produced or tried to produce 50,000 pages of documents in hard copy, the other side would complain mightily to the judge or arbitrator, who would almost certainly demand that the producing side scan and index the documents before producing them electronically. I should note that in particularly contentious cases, one side may produce documents in TIFF (photo image) format, often of mediocre quality, which makes it difficult to accurately OCR the documents.

In fact, e-mails are the lifeblood of my investigations and my favorite category of documents. Let me explain why.\n\nYou learn what people were really thinking, or at least saying, at that moment in time.\n\nMuch more than prepared documents, and even more than memos and letters, e-mails contain unvarnished reactions to and commentaries on then-current events, particularly internal e-mails within a given group or organization. One of my all-time favorite e-mails, from an early IT project failure case, was sent by one programmer to the rest of his team, saying in pretty close to these exact words, “I can’t believe we’re charging our customer [a very large dollar amount] for this garbage! We should be embarrassed!” I was happy, because I was representing the customer, not the developers; I have seen similar e-mails in other cases from my client’s side and winced mightily. Most e-mails are more restrained than this, but even they can clearly indicate or at least suggest how people really felt about a given topic.\n\nGenerally speaking, I give internal e-mails the greatest weight for honesty; internal memos and reports come next; then e-mails traded with the other side, formal reports and memos next, then letters, then years-later recollections and testimony. It is always fascinating to see someone under oath at a deposition claim that things were a certain way at a given point in time — and then see that person presented with an e-mail from the time in question, written by them, that directly contradicts that assertion.\n\nYou can build a timeline.\n\nE-mails help establish — not just for a given month or day, but time-stamped right down to the hour, minute and often second — who said what, who knew what, who was told what. I have had cases where my ability to make a certain point — to establish a given fact or a high likelihood thereof in my expert report — boiled down to the interleaving time stamps of two or three e-mails. On a much broader scale, you can trace the history of the project and pinpoint the date when things started to go in a different direction — what I refer to as “the inflection point”.

By Australia, we do not mean Steven Smith and David Warner; we mean Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry.\n\nLanning, who is both technically sound and physically strong, can really play. Perry is the world's most celebrated all-rounder, who bowls at a lively pace and bats with an instinctive timing that complements her appreciation of the angles that so often make the difference between finishing an innings effectively or otherwise.\n\nAustralia are the holders of the World Cup and favourites to retain it, even in England. But back in February, New Zealand beat them in the shortest form of the game in Geelong and again in Adelaide to take the three-match series. Suzie Bates is a smart leader, and the White Ferns did what New Zealand cricketers do best: upset the odds.\n\nAustralia had their vengeance in a thrilling one-day series for the coveted Rose Bowl in New Zealand a week or so later, but it was tight, and illustrated the closing gap in international women's cricket.\n\nThirty-five years ago, in a garden in West Sussex, three families gathered in the sunshine after lunch to play cricket. Our host, Elizabeth Lagden, batted first, and I was detailed to bowl. Off a couple of patronising paces, I rolled out an offbreak, which she smashed through cover. Blimey. I moved back a yard or two and delivered something too short at medium pace, which she upper-cut into a hedge. I was with Hampshire at the time, batting at three and bowling outswingers: Elizabeth, or \"Ibby\" as we knew her, was Mum's best friend and about as fabulous a godmother as could be imagined. But that had nothing on her batting. Okay, so it was a tennis ball that she whacked halfway to Pulborough and back, but the point was made. The game is every bit as playable by women as men.\n\nThus, it is a surprise that we have taken so long to get to where we are today. Every match of this World Cup will be broadcast live, 14 on television and the rest on radio. There is US$2 million worth of prize money, and the winners take home $660,000 of it. In 2013, the total pot was $200,000.

Yet the pace of invention and evolution is a double-edged sword; while innovation is wonderful, it is impossible to keep up with it.\n\nConsider two quotes from one of my favorite movies, Amadeus. In the film, Salieri advises Mozart: \"My dear young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect.\" Mozart, trying on wigs, replies: \"They're all so beautiful. Why don't I have three heads?\"\n\nThe explosion of new technology in programming has been accelerating over the past decade, driven primarily by the open-source movement and the web. The ease with which things can be developed, posted, discussed, and spread in an environment of free ideas and easy communication is truly astonishing. My earliest days developing Trapeze, relying only on the loose-leaf Inside Macintosh, K&R C, and a 68000 assembly manual, seem barely removed from the days of King Arthur's knights.\n\nWhat makes the current warp speed so difficult is that simply knowing what is happening is becoming hard, if not impossible, much less actually evaluating and learning the new technologies and picking those that make sense. I have always spent time every morning following the software technology \"market.\" In the old days, I read catalogs and magazines and talked with vendors, and it wasn't too hard. Today, I could spend every hour of every day and still miss a lot.\n\nAnyone who works in a corporate environment knows how tough it is to get management to switch to or add a new technology. Even being a member of the architecture team at one place, it took a week of painful meetings to convince the team that using Ajax (for an app I was developing by myself for internal use) wasn't the coming of the Antichrist. In my last job, a champion of Ruby tried to convince the company that it made sense but finally gave up and left, and the project continued in Java (and to this day is still wandering in incomplete-ville). The problem is finding a balance between using something new and refusing to change for any reason; either extreme can be bad.\n\nEven if a company or group is willing to explore and embrace alternate technologies, the issue remains: how can you find, evaluate, and master something new before it becomes obsolete or is abandoned in favor of an even newer technology? At that last job, it took several months of work to evaluate a new UI framework between two choices (basically Seam vs. Wicket). Recently, I read about 20 template systems for PHP. When I introduced Ajax at one company in the first year of Ajax, I found nearly 200 frameworks already in progress; I can't imagine how many there are now.

Finally, add the MovePawns input. This creates a 2x2 grid (just for testing purposes) and calls the MoveToMouseLoc interface on the SelectedPawn.

Make sure your Game Mode's default pawn is set to RTSSpectatorPawn and the default controller is set to RTSPlayerController.\n\nNext, create a new Blueprint extending from HUD named RTSHud. Ensure it is set as the default HUD in your Game Mode. Open it and make sure it implements the InputInterface. Once ready, add the following variables:\n\n- OnTapMousePosition (Vector2D): Stores the mouse position on click.\n- HoldingMousePosition (Vector2D): Stores the current mouse position while holding.\n- isDrawingSelection (bool): Indicates whether a selection box is currently being drawn.\n- FoundActors (Array): Stores all actors within the selection.\n- SelectedActors (Array): Stores actors that implement the IMovable interface.\n\nNow, add the InputInterface events: On Input Tap, On Input Hold, and On Input Hold Released. These should be self-explanatory.\n\nCreate a new custom event named DrawMouseSelection. This is for debugging and draws the selection box so you can verify that it is working correctly. Then, add the Receive Draw HUD event. Look at the Get Actors in Selection Rectangle function, which returns all actors within the box selection. After that, check if the actors implement the Selection Interface and call Selection Gained on them. Once the mouse is released, SelectedActors will be passed to the PlayerController.\n\nThat concludes the HUD section.\n\nNow, let's create a test unit. Create a new Blueprint extending from Character named Pawn. Open it and ensure it implements both the Selection Interface and the IMovement interface. Once ready, add a new static mesh component named SelectionMesh. Set its visibility to False; it is just a debug mesh that will become visible when the Pawn is selected.\n\nIn the Event Graph, add the On Selection Gained and On Selection Lost events. This is where you would place code to change the material, add a mesh, or show a UMG widget when a unit is selected, depending on your game's requirements. The final part is unit movement. Simply add the Move To Mouse Loc interface event. That is all! If you like, you can select the CharacterMovement component and enable RVOAvoidance.\n\nYou can download the entire project (version 4.10) here.

The last major renovation took place in 1981. Since then, Portland's population has nearly doubled, and the park now attracts over three million visitors from around the world annually.\n\nThe proposed master plan aims to redesign the park and alleviate traffic congestion. \"I think one of the biggest changes is that we're going to try and move all the cars to the edges,\" said Emily Roth, a senior planner with Portland Parks & Recreation.\n\nThe plan also proposes constructing a 900-space parking garage near the Oregon Zoo and converting the existing 1,000-space lot into parkland. Additionally, the city is considering adding cafes or food carts near the zoo and down by the International Rose Test Garden. \"Maybe bring in a few food carts there in the summer time to have some diversity in food,\" Roth noted.\n\nThe tennis courts near the garden would be relocated, and that area would be transformed into a garden. Other proposed features include a single-track bike trail, an upgraded amphitheater, and a new visitors center. The city is also exploring the possibility of introducing electric people movers within the park.\n\n\"You leave your car, you can either walk, ride your bike, or take an electric, driverless people mover through the whole entire park where you can jump on and jump off,\" Roth explained.\n\nThe city is seeking public input on the plan, with residents having until April 30 to submit their ideas online.

Hopefully, this time they will not simply accept Mr. Chris Brooks' responses as evidence on behalf of the Council and will instead seek the actual records.

Despite the registered complaint on August 23rd, 2017, via 101 and the subsequent call back from the Chief Inspector at Reading Police Station, Professional Standards have no records of this complaint. Obviously, they are very concerned, as an alleged breach of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the Human Rights Act (HRA) is one of the most serious complaints they can receive.

I was concerned about his personal information being on it, but he noted that there is more in the old newspaper articles than in the video. In their determination to create a \"trumped-up\" case, shortly after this video, I handed my client's file back to him. One officer grabbed his arm to restrain him—he was not being detained or arrested—while another dove in full force, elbows him brutally in the chest and levered the folder out of his hands. The officers' shoulder cams and the station's CCTV show the excessive level of force used upon a man with cerebral palsy.\n\nTo make matters worse, at this point in time, they had not verified from any other source that he was not a vulnerable person. So, in all sense and purposes, they were still of the belief that they were using excessive force on a vulnerable person. It should be noted that the file in question belongs solely to my client. He has since confirmed that it also contains payroll documents and court documents regarding the ongoing County Court case against Reading Borough Council. The police should not have these in their possession. In fact, they are not allowed to look at or retain court documents that pertain to a local authority which supplies a large section of their funding.\n\nYet this did not stop the officer from going through the said file in the custody suite, which was captured on camera.

But what some here called a spark, an inescapable pull of their ancestors, led them in a different direction, to Judaism. There were the grandparents who wouldn’t eat pork, the fragments of a Jewish tongue from medieval Spain that spiced up the language, and puzzling family rituals such as the lighting of candles on Friday nights.\n\nSo, after a spiritual journey that began a decade ago, dozens of families that had once belonged to a fire-and-brimstone church became Jews, converting with the help of rabbis from Miami and Jerusalem.

Even if this proves correct, all the climate models used by the IPCC for its latest assessment show that if greenhouse gas emissions continue at current rates, the world will still exceed the 2°C warming from pre-industrial levels within this century, a threshold some scientists believe could prompt dangerous forms of climate change.\n\nBut in a sign of what a potent issue the slowdown is becoming, politicians in the US and the UK are already asking if it means they can ease back on contentious measures to curb global warming, such as offshore wind farms or carbon pricing.\n\nThomas Stocker, co-chair of the IPCC Working Group I report, is the man at the centre of the IPCC's new assessment. He is a gruff Swiss environmental physicist with firm opinions. He likes the cerebral American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett and spotting orchids. He dislikes a lot of things, including people addicted to smartphones (his own ancient device does almost nothing but take calls), the falling rate of scientific literacy in western society, and poorly run meetings, which he says are \"just terrible\" and even \"irresponsible.\" When I saw him in the airy office he has occupied at the University of Bern for the past 20 years, the walls were plastered with reproductions of some of his team's best-known scientific publications, including a chart showing that concentrations of carbon dioxide in the past 200 years rose to levels more than 30 per cent higher than at any time in the past 800,000 years.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11911, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "901f01f2ceaddf704aa017eebfef56b1226a7f05", "raw_chars": 3312, "clean_chars": 3284, "edit_ratio": 0.044, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "“That’s the most impressive hockey stick,” he said proudly, referring to the famously contentious graph first published in the late 1990s by US scientist Michael Mann and his colleagues. The graph showed temperatures remaining roughly flat for nearly 1,000 years, resembling the handle of a horizontal hockey stick, before rising sharply in the 20th century, like the blade, as fossil-fuel emissions began to soar. Climate sceptics have spent years attacking both the graph and Mann because it presented such a simple picture of the link between global warming and rising carbon dioxide emissions.\n\nStocker notes, however, that it was his team’s research that was used in Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth for the segment where Gore uses a forklift to illustrate the relative level of today’s emissions compared with those of the past.\n\nHe is characteristically brusque about the idea that the recent slowdown in warming suggests politicians can ease up on measures to curb global warming because scientists were mistaken about climate sensitivity. Such questioning is based on “complete disinformation,” he said, pointing out that even the IPCC’s best estimates are always given together with a range of upper and lower projected temperatures. In any case, he said, 15 years of slower warming is simply too short a timeframe on which to base a judgment. “If we found that indeed for 30 years the temperature didn’t go up and CO2 went up with the rate that we observe today, then of course that would pose serious questions. It’s absolutely clear,” he said.\n\nBut is it possible that temperatures are not responding to carbon emissions as vigorously as scientists once thought, or do we know if the oceans are absorbing more heat? “If we knew one, we could actually make a statement about the other,” Stocker said. “It’s really coupled. We’re not in a position to say either/or.”\n\nIt is a similar picture for aerosols. “I think generally there is a large uncertainty,” he said, adding that the current rate at which fossil fuels are being burnt means a considerable amount of warming is nonetheless certain.\n\nStocker remains resolutely confident about the robustness of the IPCC’s projections overall. “There is no other science and there’s no other activity of humans that looks into the future that has done so well as the IPCC,” he said. “Ask how well do the GDP projections fare for the next month. Ask how well do the projections of crop yields for the next year. Ask how well projections of DAX [the blue-chip German stock index] and all these other indices fare.”\n\nStocker’s view is shared by many of the thousands of scientists who have contributed to the IPCC reports over the past 25 years, but not all. Dr Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is one of several prominent US contrarians who have taken part in past reports but says she would not do so again. The process focuses too narrowly on human impact on the climate, she says, and requires a consensus about its conclusions that can lead to a tribal, group-thinking about the science. “This focus has essentially neglected natural climate variability, and has also neglected to assess potential benefits from a warmer climate,” she told the FT.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11924, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f70a74ebd775d698525a3b19659034462d757dc8", "raw_chars": 3274, "clean_chars": 3247, "edit_ratio": 0.1538, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum is not the type of player to make excuses. In fact, the 6-foot-4 guard out of Lehigh is often his own harshest critic, frequently pointing out his own mistakes first when discussing team performances, particularly in losses. He holds himself to a high standard, and when he fails to meet it, he is not afraid to admit it.\n\nSo it was not surprising to hear McCollum take responsibility for the one-game suspension levied by the NBA for leaving the bench during an altercation between Trail Blazers rookie Caleb Swanigan and Suns center Alex Len. The incident occurred during the fourth quarter of Portland's 113-104 preseason victory in Phoenix on October 11. The suspension will keep the starting shooting guard out of Portland's season opener against the Suns on October 18 and cost him roughly $164,000 in lost salary.\n\n\"I was disappointed,\" McCollum said of the decision. \"You never want to miss games, especially like that to start the season. You work so hard to prepare for the season, you go through a lot of preseason games that don't mean anything, and then you miss a regular season game because of an incident that you weren't even involved in. There's nothing I can do about it now but move forward and learn from it.\"\n\nWhile McCollum did violate the most literal interpretation of the rule, which states that players can be fined and/or suspended for leaving the bench and entering the court during an altercation, one could argue he did not violate the spirit of the rule. He made no contact with another player and appeared more interested in de-escalating the situation than exacerbating it.\n\n\"Obviously I wasn't trying to escalate the situation, I was trying to look out for a teammate, but they decided to suspend me,\" McCollum said. \"I should have known that they were going to suspend me, but with it being preseason and me not being involved in the actual event, and me just trying to help my teammate... he might clear a million before taxes but not after taxes, so I was thinking about looking out for him. It cost me a lot of money and the first game of the season. I should have known better with my history of violence on the court that I would be suspended.\"\n\nMcCollum's teammates echoed the sentiment that while they realize a rule was broken, there may have been other ways to handle what was ultimately a benign action committed in the fourth quarter of a preseason contest by a player with no \"history of violence\" during his four seasons in the NBA.\n\n\"I comprehend a rule is a rule, but I feel like everything is different somewhat,\" said Evan Turner, who is one of the favorites to start in McCollum's place. \"I guess they're being fair with the rule with everybody, but CJ didn't go on the court in a negative manner. It was a preseason game, he had a towel in his hand, he wasn't aggressive, you know what I'm saying? He wasn't volatile, he wasn't keeping the situation going. It's tough. Obviously rules are rules, so I comprehend you're not allowed to do that. When you break it down, obviously we make a decent amount of money, but for that type of situation, to lose any type of thing and most importantly lose one of our go-to guys to start on the road, that's pretty crazy.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11931, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b381b10a939650396d63d59047a5c15c727df644", "raw_chars": 2878, "clean_chars": 2878, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Here I am, lying in bed.

I am fully conscious but I cannot shout out to you: my body is completely frozen.\n\nEverybody is paralysed during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage of sleep where dreaming occurs. If we weren’t paralysed, we would act out our dreams, endangering ourselves and our sleeping partners. But sometimes, especially when sleep patterns are disrupted or we get exhausted, things go awry: REM extends into waking consciousness, our bodies become immobile and our alert brains fuse with the imagery of dreams. The phenomenon of waking up during REM, completely unable to move, is called sleep paralysis.\n\nThe experience can be terrifying. Trapped in your paralysed body, you might sense the presence of a malevolent intruder in the room or a pressure on your chest, squeezing the breath out of your lungs. Hallucinations can jangle the senses: there are ominous voices, supernatural entities, strange lights. You feel as if you are being touched or dragged, bed covers seem to be snatched from you, and you are helpless to grab them back.\n\nI have experienced the frightening imagery of sleep paralysis since childhood, but only later did I understand that my dark journey was not unique – I share it with at least 6 per cent of people worldwide, and it has been reported for thousands of years as encounters with sexual demons, beasts, and ghosts. These reports differ by culture – but the texture and the biology is the same. From Newfoundland come tales of the Old Hag, a hideous witch who pins down sleepers by sitting on their chests. Japanese folklore gives us kanashibari, the fate of the unfortunate or cursed who have been magically tied up in their sleep by evil spirits. In Old Norse, the Mara is a malevolent spirit who straddles the body of the sleeper as if riding a horse, then tries to strangle them; mara is the origin of the English word ‘nightmare’. UFO abduction stories and alien encounters likely emerge from sleep paralysis, too.\n\nEver since I was a teen, I have seen shadow figures in the corner of my bedroom, and awoken to find strange entities – grinning vampires or silent watchers – by my bed. I’ve felt my hand grasped, my chest crushed by the weight of a strange beast; my body twisting and spinning in space. I’ve heard buzzing, ringing, whooshing and nasty names whispered in my ear. If the radio or TV were on, I could hear the programmes clearly and, after paralysis released me, I could report them back. If someone walked into the room, or the doorbell rang, or a dog barked, or (as happened on one occasion) there was a power outage, I was fully aware.

Tsemberis catches the eye of an older man sitting on the sidewalk, his wiry, grey beard resting on his chest, his cap out for coins. Tsemberis greets him and gives him change from his pocket. Turning away, he sighs. \"That's how we got homelessness. We got used to walking by people on the streets.\"\n\nAnd by not listening when they told us what they needed.\n\nThe scale of the issue is stark. Approximately 200,000 people experience homelessness annually in Canada, a crisis that costs the country an estimated $7 billion each year in health care, justice, and social services. A significant portion of this population struggles with mental health; 67% of homeless individuals have a history of mental illness. In 2010, the Health and Housing in Transition Study found that 55% of homeless people had visited an emergency room or been hospitalized in the past year. Furthermore, a 2011 study at St. Michael's Hospital revealed that a hospital stay for a homeless person costs an additional $2,500 compared to an average patient. For long-term psychiatric patients in alternative levels of care, 43% are readmitted within 30 days if they spend 90 days or more in the hospital.\n\nIn response to these challenges, Ottawa launched a five-year investment in Housing First projects starting in 2014, allocating $600 million. The results of such initiatives have been promising. In a Housing First trial, participants spent an average of 4.8 years homeless over their lifetimes, and 40% reported having their first episode of homelessness before age 25. Over a two-year period, Housing First participants spent 73% of their time in stable housing, compared to just 32% for a control group. The initiative costs $19,582 annually for the most severely mentally ill clients with the highest needs, but it saves $42,536 in services that would otherwise be used. For every $1 spent on these clients, $2 is saved through the Housing First model. The annual cost to the system per person for homeless individuals who are the highest users of social, justice, and health-care services is $225,000.\n\nThese figures are drawn from the Cross-Site at Home/Chez Soi study, the Mental Health Commission of Canada, St. Michael's Hospital, and the 2010 Canadian Health and Housing in Transition Study.

The mask on the Malloy administration has slipped again. What an ugly face it revealed. How could it be otherwise when Gov. Dannel P. Malloy whacked $469,533 out of the state budget for Connecticut Honor Guard members to attend military funerals? The nasty cut would reduce the honor guard unit to three members from the current five. The reduction was made from a $40 billion, two-year state budget. Everett Shepard, an official with the Connecticut chapter of the American Legion, told FoxCT that the budget cuts 'would make it impossible for the remaining honor guard to perform a rifle salute' at military funerals. Malloy has more than $33 million in state benefits for retailer Bass Pro Shops to sell guns in Bridgeport, but not enough to honor dead veterans with a traditional military salute at their funerals. The second-term Democrat managed to find tens of millions of dollars in corporate welfare in the run-up to last November's election. Less than half a million for the men and women who defended freedom around the world? Send a card. At a press conference earlier this month, Malloy said of the cuts he has made, 'We have been surgical in the decisions we have had to make. Some of those are tough decisions.' That's odd. Only three months ago, at 4:32 p.m. on the day before Christmas Eve, Malloy's administration announced pay raises of as much as 12 percent for state commissioners and his top aides. The governor's budget chief, Ben Barnes, who struggled to defend the Christmas raises when they were announced, saw his salary increase from $187,000 to $210,000 a year. He's the official who declared after November's election that Connecticut is in a 'permanent fiscal crisis.' The Malloy-Barnes budget would rather see the burden of that continuing crisis be borne by fallen veterans than the selfish circle around the governor.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11940, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "cc066edd2c284cdcb57b7f697f62c82e04bf9c2f", "raw_chars": 3339, "clean_chars": 2114, "edit_ratio": 0.495, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are lashing out at Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for remaining neutral in the Democratic primary.

In December, Buffett—who famously pledged the bulk of his fortune to the Gates Foundation in 2006—asked the couple to reflect on how they are measuring their progress and what they would like the final scorecard to read.\n\nTheir response offers a sweeping and uplifting look at the gains the world has made in improving global health over the past 25 years, particularly in reducing child mortality. The letter notes that childhood deaths have been cut in half since 1990, saving an estimated 122 million lives. The Gateses attribute this drop largely to vaccines, stating that coverage for the basic package of childhood vaccines is now at its highest level ever, at 86 percent, and the gap between the richest and poorest countries is the lowest it has ever been. This is a remarkable statistic, and expanding access to vaccinations has been a central focus of the Gates Foundation's work since its inception. To the extent that their philanthropy has played a key role alongside other donors, it stands as a stunning testament to the power of private giving to shape the arc of human history. While there is no authoritative study measuring the exact role of the Gates Foundation in expanding vaccination coverage and the precise number of lives saved, one analysis estimated that between 2007 and 2012, investments by the foundation saved around 6 million lives.\n\nLooking ahead, the Gateses anticipate even bigger gains. They write, \"In our lifetimes, malaria will end. No one will die from AIDS. Few people will get TB. Children everywhere will be well nourished. And the death of a child in the developing world will be just as rare as the death of a child in the rich world.\" These are remarkably optimistic predictions, yet the letter does not elaborate much on their game plan for conquering these dread diseases and reducing the extreme poverty that underlies the suffering of children worldwide.\n\nMore broadly, this annual letter, like previous ones, does not offer much insight into the couple's thinking on how they will handle the monumental task of deploying vast amounts of wealth in the future. Consider three key figures: First, the Gates Foundation, which is set to spend down and close its doors two decades after Bill and Melinda die, has an endowment of approximately $40 billion. Second, according to Forbes, Bill Gates's net worth is now $85 billion, a fortune that he and Melinda have said they will give away. Third, Warren Buffett is currently worth $74 billion, with perhaps $60 billion of that destined for the Gates Foundation.

I voiced these concerns at length. I was one of four abstentions from voting for the motion, which passed with no votes against and near-unanimous support.\n\nYes, that was a somewhat selfish move on my part, given that I agreed with the content of the motion itself. But democracy is something I insist upon, including formal democracy. Virtually everything on the Left is done by \"trusted cadres,\" as they called them in the USSR. If we are ever going to break out of our little corner into mass relevance, we have to do it by empowering the people in the room to debate, vote, and run things themselves. That is the only way our organizations will create a world worth living in, and the only way people will feel enough ownership over them to invest their time and participation. We need to be more flexible and prepared to turn discussion sessions into proper debate and voting sessions. This means we have to surrender our own plans, our own pre-decided processes, and the undespoiled sanctity of our own positions to the will of the mob. Really, we should have only one position: all power to the mob, and none for ourselves, except through it.\n\nI still thought putting the network formation off to another conference was a bad idea. We needed a network right here and now, and I said so. How much momentum can people keep up? We all have other political commitments and lives. Shouldn't this have been the conference to declare a network? Why put it off after losing momentum? If it never happens on their part, I am fairly prepared to put it into motion unilaterally. If anything, this conference strengthened my network of contacts and my ability to do such a thing.\n\nMy proposals were in this spirit of being pointed toward setting the damned thing up now:\n\n- Walk away with a structure decided, less amorphous\n- Mutual educational support regarding electoral skills\n- A Podemos-style launch-petition circulation for a targeted election\n- A wave of local candidates under a common umbrella name\n- A few key issues defining this umbrella, such as $15 minimum wage, Black Lives Matter, and the Green New Deal\n- Eventually, a participatory decision-making structure\n\nThe response I got from the crowd was decent, and I have a feeling that this and other brainstorm-quality comments from the crowd (all viewable here) will help steer and influence the continuations committee in its planning of next steps.

The report, published by TrustWave, is based on an analysis of data gathered from over 1,900 penetration tests and more than 200 data breach investigations conducted on behalf of clients such as American Express, MasterCard, Discover, Visa, and several large retailers.\n\nThe analysis revealed that major global companies are employing \"vulnerability chasers\" who search out the latest vulnerabilities and zero-day threats while overlooking the most common ones. As a result, companies continue to be felled by old and supposedly well-understood vulnerabilities rather than by newfangled attack tools and methods.\n\nFor instance, the top three ways hackers gained initial access to corporate networks in 2009 were via remote access applications, trusted internal network connections, and SQL injection attacks, TrustWave found. All three attack vectors have been well-researched and known about for several years. SQL injection vulnerabilities, for example, have been known about for at least 10 years, yet they continue to be widely prevalent in web-based, database-driven applications.\n\nThe most common vulnerability TrustWave discovered during its external network penetration tests had to do with the management interfaces for web application engines such as WebSphere and ColdFusion. In many cases, these management interfaces were accessible directly from the internet and had little or no password protection, potentially allowing attackers to deploy their own malicious applications on the web server. Similarly unprotected network infrastructure components, such as routers, switches, and VPN concentrators, represented the second most common vulnerability unearthed by TrustWave. The tendency by many companies to host internal applications on the same server that also hosts external content was another common vulnerability, as were misconfigured firewall rules, default or easy-to-guess passwords, and DNS cache poisoning.\n\nMeanwhile, TrustWave's wireless penetration tests unearthed common weaknesses such as the continued use of WEP encryption, legacy 802.11 networks with minimal to no security controls, and wireless clients using public \"guest\" networks instead of secured private networks.\n\nIn almost all of the cases, the most common vulnerabilities unearthed by TrustWave were common, well-understood issues that should have been addressed a long time ago, said Nicholas Percoco, senior vice president at TrustWave's SpiderLabs research unit. \"There are basically two themes,\" Percoco said. \"Through our study in 2009 we found some very old vulnerabilities present within enterprises, some as old as 20 to 30 years.\" The second theme is that attackers are targeting these old flaws to break into enterprises, then using increasingly sophisticated tools to harvest data from companies, he said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 11978, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "d1b3933eaa87fbe5fcf52d4f3bcd5f597e42da3b", "raw_chars": 1685, "clean_chars": 1772, "edit_ratio": 0.429, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The planned executions appear to be a response to several high-profile murders in Gaza and a broader increase in crime, which is widely attributed to the dire economic situation in the territory.

A lot of times I’ll be working on a thing, and I’ll be thinking here’s another story where a person wakes up to the true nature of reality and I’ll think, ‘Grant, come on—why do you keep doing this?’ But it is the thing I’m most interested in and is most useful to the way we live now, in this hyper-accelerated, digital media sphere. The difference between who we are and what we try to be is so ridiculous. So I’m embracing it, in the way that Philip K. Dick always wrote stories about people taken into the world that exists underneath reality, I think that’s just my master theme and my master goal. Annihilator’s got a little bit of that; it’s not everyone living in the same simulation, but all of my characters are living in a world that isn’t quite the real world. And the stories are all about them discovering what the real world is. There are a couple more to come, and maybe I’ll break the cycle.\n\nPaste: What might those stories be?\n\nMorrison: I’ve got a few creator-owned projects coming out, like Sinatoro and the conclusion of Nameless, which go to similar places in a different way. But beyond that as I tell everyone, the big influence is the Wonder Woman: Earth One book I’ve been doing for the last couple of years with Yanick Paquette, and we’re almost finished. That changed the entire playing field for me. I wrote a book that wasn’t reliant on the structure of boys adventure fiction. It opened up a whole new way of looking at things. Beyond Wonder Woman, I think there may be some very different ways of thinking about things.\n\nPaste: The Multiversity #2 comes out next month, concluding the story.

I want to keep that little bit of mystery. The finale pretty much explains who they are, and even in Ultra it’s explained that these are really bad ideas. They’re demon ideas and we incubate them and they form. We can feel them, but we don’t quite know how to display them and what they’re doing. It’s been portrayed that our imaginative space has become degraded. Where once we had Star Trek now we have The Walking Dead. We see our civilization as something that’s basically, ultimately doomed. And maybe a generation ago we saw our civilization as something that would naturally be carried into the stars, and have this fantastic utopian future.

By design, Holland applies the \"hero\" label widely. In one story, a lactating mother hippo, with her own baby in view, rescues a wildebeest and a zebra baby, each trying to cross the Mara River during the annual Serengeti migration.\n\n\"Deep and fast moving when the animals arrive, the water is an obstacle in itself,\" Holland writes. \"But it is made extra deadly by crocodiles.\"\n\nOn the day in question, the water was high, the crocodiles were hungry, and the scene was chaos. As the last ten wildebeest attempted to cross, one mother wildebeest climbed up on the riverbank only to see her infant drifting away and weakening. She became frantic, in the words of an observer. This is the moment when the mother hippo stepped in: She nudged the baby toward the riverbank and safety. Very soon, the same thing happened to a baby zebra, and the hippo's response was the same.\n\nJust maternal instinct, you might say? Maybe so. But we don't withhold the term \"hero\" from human moms who save children in some impulsive act.\n\nSome stories involve animals rescuing us. When I asked Holland by email earlier this week to select particularly moving stories from the book, she chose two of this nature. One involves a U.S. veteran named Jesse Knott and his cat, Koshka. Having already served in Iraq and sustained injuries there, on duty in Afghanistan Knott lost two of his men to a suicide bomber. He fell into a serious depression. Mistreated earlier as a feral cat, Koshka stayed with Knott through that time, interacting with him so persistently and lovingly that he felt pulled back from a very dark place. Holland told me:\n\n\"One reason this story is so powerful is because the man himself is a hero in the more traditional sense, a war veteran and leader, yet he really sees this little animal as having saved his life (and made the lives of his fellow soldiers better) during the worst of times. The cat was just doing cat things—being funny, sweet, and affectionate—but it also seemed to know just what the man needed and when to provide it.\"\n\nThe rescue turns out to be mutual: Koshka now lives with Knott's parents in the United States. The skill of cats in helping \"their people\" is something I know about. As I wrote here at 13.7 in June, this summer I mourned the loss of my cat, Pilar.

An Post is now heavily reliant on its largest customers—banks and utility companies—continuing to use the service. \"They are driving everybody online,\" said An Post chairman designate Dermot Divilly.\n\n\"For every 1 percent decline, that is about €4 to €5 million in turnover lost from our bottom line,\" Divilly told the Oireachtas communications committee. \"We have to adapt the company to that new lower level, because that is really outside our control.\"\n\nThe veteran businessman outlined how An Post would need to sell more products and services through its post office network, increase charges for postal services (such as more expensive stamps), and reduce costs.

These notes provide release information for using JOID as the deployment tool for the Danube release of OPNFV with the LXD hypervisor for containers. The goal of the Danube release and this JOID-based deployment process is to establish a lab-ready platform that accelerates further development of the OPNFV infrastructure. Users should carefully follow the installation instructions, which guide them to deploy OPNFV using JOID, a tool based on MAAS and Juju.\n\nLXD is a lightweight container hypervisor for full system containers, unlike Docker and Rocket, which are designed for application containers. This means that the container will look and feel like a regular virtual machine but will act like a container. LXD uses the same container technology found in the Linux kernel, such as cgroups, namespaces, and LSMs. The Danube release with the JOID deployment and LXD hypervisor will establish an OPNFV target system on a Pharos-compliant lab infrastructure. The current definition of an OPNFV target system is OpenStack Newton combined with the LXD hypervisor. The system is deployed with OpenStack High Availability (HA) for most OpenStack services.\n\nUsers have the following choices to make for the deployment: OpenStack version (Newton), type (HA, non-HA, or tip, which is the stable git branch of the respective OpenStack version), and feature (LXD, the container hypervisor). Detailed information on how to install in your lab can be found in the installation guide. The command to deploy the LXD feature is as follows:\n\nFor LXD deployment with HA OpenStack:\n./deploy.sh -o newton -f lxd -t ha -l custom -s nosdn\n\nFor LXD deployment with no HA OpenStack:\n./deploy.sh -o newton -f lxd -t nonha -l custom -s nosdn\n\nOnce you have finished installing JOID with the LXD container hypervisor, you can use the following steps to upload your LXD image to the Glance server that LXD can use. To do this, simply run the following commands:\n\nwget -O xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz\nglance image-create --name=\"Xenial LXC x86_64\" --visibility=public --container-format=bare --disk-format=root-tar --property architecture=\"x86_64\" xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz\n\nAfter you upload the image to Glance, you will be ready to go. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask on the LXC mailing list or the #lxcontainers IRC channel on Freenode.\n\nThe JOID project repository is located at gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/joid.git, with the stable/danube tag.

Sullivan to respond to questions, and the transcript was released this week.\n\nMr. Bentel, whose office handles information technology for the Office of the Secretary, declined to answer 87 questions.

On August 19, 2016, Judge Sullivan granted Judicial Watch’s request to depose Bentel, citing significant discrepancies between Bentel’s previous statements and the evidence. Specifically, Bentel had testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi that he was unaware Secretary Clinton’s email account was housed on a private server until media reports emerged in 2015. However, several emails indicated that Bentel knew about the private server as early as 2009.\n\nBentel continued to assert his Fifth Amendment right when questioned about what he knew regarding Hillary Clinton’s email system and its impact on the Freedom of Information Act. In ordering Bentel’s deposition, Judge Sullivan also referenced a May 2016 Inspector General’s report.

In July 2015, the Treasury, under George Osborne, projected that this measure would generate £1.8 billion between the 2016/17 and 2020/21 fiscal years. However, when Mr. Hammond announced a range of new measures on Wednesday to crack down on tax evasion, that projection was reduced to £1.1 billion, representing a £700 million cut.\n\nThe independent Office for Budget Responsibility noted that the forecast was influenced by a separate change to income tax collection.

He gave them a commandment, stipulating that they would continue forever in that blessedness of immortality as long as they did not violate it; conversely, if they transgressed it, they would suffer the penalties of mortality. God knew beforehand that they would indeed transgress it. Nevertheless, because He is the author and maker of everything good, He chose to create them, just as He made the beasts, in order to replenish the earth with the good things proper to it. Certainly, man, even sinful man, is better than a beast. He preferred to give them the commandment they were not to keep, so that they would be without excuse when He began to vindicate Himself against them. For whatever man may have done, he finds God worthy to be praised in all His doings. If he has acted rightly, he finds Him worthy to be praised for the righteousness of His rewards; if he has sinned, he finds Him worthy to be praised for the righteousness of His punishments; and if he has confessed his sins and returned to an upright life, he finds Him worthy to be praised for the mercy of His pardoning favors.\n\nWhy, then, should God not make man, although He foreknew that he would sin, when He might crown him if he stood, set him right if he fell, and help him if he rose, while He Himself remains always and everywhere glorious in goodness, righteousness, and clemency? Above all, why should He not do so, since He also foreknew that from the race of that mortality there would spring saints who would not seek their own interests, but give glory to their Creator? These saints, obtaining deliverance from every corruption by worshipping Him, would be counted worthy to live forever and to live in blessedness with the holy angels.\n\nFor He who gave freedom of will to men, so that they might worship God not out of slavish necessity but with ingenuous inclination, gave it also to the angels. Hence, neither did the angel who, in company with other spirits who were his satellites, forsook the obedience of God in pride and became the devil, do any hurt to God, but only to himself. God knows how to dispose of souls that leave Him, and out of their righteous misery to furnish the inferior sections of His creatures with the most appropriate and befitting laws of His wonderful dispensation. Consequently, neither did the devil in any manner harm God, whether in falling himself or in seducing man to death; nor did man himself in any degree impair the truth, power, or blessedness of His Maker. When his partner was seduced by the devil, he of his own deliberate inclination consented to her in doing that which God had forbidden.\n\nBy the most righteous laws of God, all were condemned, with God Himself being glorious in the equity of retribution, while they were shamed through the degradation of punishment. This was to the end that man, when he turned away from his Creator, should be overcome by the devil and made his subject, and that the devil might be set before man as an enemy to be conquered when he turned again to his Creator.

When savers and financial institutions are less restricted in their lending, the supply of credit increases and interest rates fall. Since access to credit requires collateral, the increased availability of funds at lower interest rates makes the existing collateral—houses—scarcer and hence more valuable. As a result of higher real estate values, borrowers can increase their debt, even though their debt-to-collateral ratio remains unchanged. Quantitatively, the responses of debt, house prices, aggregate leverage and mortgage rates reported in Figure 5 match well the empirical facts illustrated in Figure 1 through 4.\n\nResponse to a change in the lending limit\n\nNotes: Response of key macroeconomic variables to a relaxation of the lending constraint, in the calibrated model of Justiniano et al. (2015).\n\nConclusion\n\nIn this column, we argued that any reconstruction of the fundamental causes of the housing and credit boom that preceded the Great Recession must be consistent with four stylised facts: house prices and debt surged, the ratio of debt to house values was roughly constant, and real mortgage rates fell. From the perspective of these four facts, explanations that rely exclusively on an increase in credit demand associated with more generous credit conditions—for instance in the form of higher loan-to-value ratios—are lacking. On the contrary, a shift in credit supply associated with the emergence of securitisation and shadow banking, is qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the four facts.\n\nThis interpretation of the macroeconomic facts has the additional merit of being consistent with the micro-econometric evidence of Mian and Sufi (2009 and 2010). They show that an expansion in credit supply was the fundamental driver of the surge in household debt, and that borrowing against the increased value of real estate accounts for a significant fraction of this build-up in debt.\n\nShifting the focus of the inquiry into the causes of the boom from credit demand to credit supply has potentially important implications for the study of macro-prudential policy, since much of the literature on this topic has tended to model the boom as stemming from looser borrowing constraints. Exploring the normative implications of the alternative view proposed in this article is an exciting avenue for future research.\n\nDisclaimer: The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of the Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago, New York or the Federal Reserve System.\n\nReferences\n\nAcharya, V, and M Richardson (2009), “Causes of the Financial Crisis”, Critical Review, 21, 195–210.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12046, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3eec688d4f927880dd3c73a1049b6d78cc8ee62b", "raw_chars": 2907, "clean_chars": 2943, "edit_ratio": 0.0219, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "At least former President Obama had the good sense to despise Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but that will not be the case for the White House after January 20th. Trump’s very first telephone conversation with a foreign head of government after being elected was with Netanyahu, and during the campaign, he promised to invite Bibi to the White House immediately after the inauguration. The new president’s first appointment of an Ambassador-designate to a foreign nation was his good friend and bankruptcy lawyer, David Friedman, to Israel. Friedman had headed Trump’s Israel Advisory Committee and is a notable hardliner who supports the Israeli settler movement, an extreme right-wing political entity that is nominally opposed by existing U.S. government policy as both illegal and damaging to Washington’s interests. Beyond that, Friedman rejects the creation of a Palestinian state and supports Israel’s actual annexation of the West Bank.\n\nU.S. Ambassadors are supposed to support American interests, but Friedman would actually be representing and endorsing a particularly noxious version of Israeli fascism as the new normal in the relationship with Washington. Friedman describes Jerusalem as “the holy capital of the Jewish people and only the Jewish people.” Trump is already taking steps to move the U.S. Embassy there, making the American government unique in having its chief diplomatic mission in the legally disputed city. The move will also serve as a recruiting poster for groups like ISIS and will inflame opinion against the U.S. among friendly Arab states in the region. There is no possible gain and much to lose for the United States and for American citizens in making the move, but it satisfies Israeli hardliners and zealots like Friedman.\n\nThe Trump team’s animosity towards Iran is also part of the broader Israeli agenda. Iran does not threaten the United States and is a military midget compared either to nuclear-armed Israel or the U.S. Yet it has been singled out as the enemy du jour in the Middle East even though it has invaded no one since the seventeenth century. Israel would like to have the United States do the heavy lifting to destroy Iran as a regional power. If Washington were to attempt to do so, it would be a catastrophe for all parties involved, but that has not stopped hardliners from demanding unrelenting military pressure on Tehran.\n\nDonald Trump is not even president yet, but he advised Barack Obama to exercise the U.S. veto for the resolution condemning Israeli settlements that was voted on at the United Nations Security Council on Friday. He explained that “As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations.

A senior police officer, who has been at the forefront of combating insurgency in the Kashmir Valley, noted that the slogans of the time never called for a secular state. He remarked that the consequences of those actions would eventually return to haunt the perpetrators.\n\nJama'at-e-Islami, the political formation that gave rise to the Hizbul-Mujahideen, utilized Islam for political mobilization in the Valley. The organization bore the brunt of the turmoil, with its cadres being murdered in broad daylight on a daily basis before it eventually shifted its focus to organizing rallies against moral corruption and Western cultural influences.\n\nJama'at-e-Islami was founded in 1941 by Abul Ala Mawdudi, a renowned theologian and ideologue of political Islam based in Pakistan. Its primary objective was to promote moral values and Islamic practices. In Jammu and Kashmir, its central concern was to free Islam from the syncretic folk practices that Mawdudi believed had corrupted the essence of the faith.\n\nThe Hizbul Mujahideen, of which Musa was a member until recently, was one of the organizations that initiated the insurgency in the Valley. It relied on Jama'at-e-Islami for religious motivation, having grown out of its movement. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the head priest of Kashmir and a Hurriyat leader, stated that while religion has always been used to draw inspiration for state affairs, it should not be used to run the state. He emphasized that the state must maintain secular credentials to protect minorities and ensure the rights of the dispossessed.\n\nSocial media activity in Kashmir indicates that a majority of people have disapproved of Musa's statement.

In NYSRPA v. Town of Cicero, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a local law requiring the registration of all firearms. The Supreme Court declined to review that decision, leaving law enforcement with an important tool to keep track of guns in their communities. The Court also denied certiorari in Silvester v.

Further, the Court denied review in two cases involving firearm licensing and background check fees: Kwong v. Bloomberg, a Second Circuit decision, and Bauer v. Becerra, a Ninth Circuit decision.\n\nRegarding restrictions of firearms in national parks and other publicly owned places, the Court acknowledged in Heller the government's continuing ability to regulate the possession of guns in sensitive places. Unsurprisingly, lower courts have upheld laws and regulations that restrict the use of firearms in public parks, and the Supreme Court has declined to review any of these decisions.\n\nThese are only some examples of the Supreme Court's action on gun laws nationwide. The Court has also declined to review numerous other cases upholding federal, state, and local laws and policies restricting the use of firearms, including laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of children and laws that help law enforcement curb gun trafficking.

However, economics aggressively annexed the idea of subsistence, destroying the distinction that once recognized self-provisioning as a separate endeavor connecting us to each other and to nature. Illich's contribution was to re-establish and re-articulate this distinction, bringing a focus back to the human body and human sensibilities in economic life, which he often called the vernacular domain.\n\nRobert highlighted the consequences of internalizing the categories of mainstream economic thought, noting that it warps our self-perception. \"To be enmeshed in a system is to charge your perception of yourself,\" Robert said. Our sense of \"autoception\"—how we form our identities and relationships to others—becomes skewed. This is why we need to \"reclaim the vernacular,\" he argued.\n\nTrent Schroyer, who has been active in exploring alternative economic cultures, most notably as the former president of \"The Other Economic Summit\" and the author of \"Beyond Western Economics,\" emphasized this theme as well. Citing Illich's criticisms of \"development\" as mere material or economic progress, Schroyer described development as \"a form of secular messianism\" that is profoundly \"autistic,\" meaning it is incapable of integrating emotions and consciousness into the larger institutional system. He sees four ways to try to combat this trend: the regeneration of publics, the cultivation of non-consumer perspectives, a focus on livelihoods, and the relocalization of economics. Notably, all of these are commons-based approaches.\n\nGustavo Esteva, the founder of Universidad de la Tierra and the author of \"The Oaxaca Commune and Mexico's Autonomous Movements,\" elaborated on this theme. He noted Illich's conviction that \"systemic thought is terribly dis-incarnating,\" meaning that it elevates abstract universals at the expense of our individuality and humanity. Illich pointed out that the Spanish royalty tried to eliminate the great diversity of local and regional languages in 15th-century Spain by establishing a formal, state-sanctioned system of grammar and syntax. The goal was, quite literally, to override and eliminate locally based ways of seeing, thinking, and communicating. It was a standardized language of power, a pattern that has recurred countless times since.\n\n\"Systemic being is disincarnated being,\" said Esteva. The most powerful antidote, according to Illich, was friendship. \"Real friendship is heretical and political,\" said Esteva, explaining that its subversive qualities lie in its ability to help us see ourselves truly: \"Now I know who I am because I can see myself in my friends.\"\n\nSo, too, with the commons: \"A commons is not a relationship to the land, but a relationship with each other,\" said Esteva. \"That is the way to challenge the system: You are the relationship itself\"—an embodied, personal relationship that cannot be corrupted by systems of power. To the extent that systematic thought misrepresents and corrupts how we feel and interpret lived experience, Esteva concluded, \"in the end, there is only poetry.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12060, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "a5654c6955bc20693c2210a989e6f3a334964ef2", "raw_chars": 3146, "clean_chars": 2970, "edit_ratio": 0.8195, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "After witnessing his subordinates harass Makoto, he intervenes to stop them.

He ensures his identity remains hidden because he fears the possibility of her being drawn back into a world of darkness. Majima makes certain that the man who will take care of Makoto genuinely loves her, since he cannot do so himself as he will be returning to the shadows of the yakuza.\n\nAfter being assured, he painfully walks away and disappears into the crowd as Makoto watches, wondering if he was the man who had saved her life. In the post-game credits, Majima meets Kiryu in person for the very first time, greeting him with the enthusiasm of the Mad Dog of Shimano: \"Yo... Kiryu-chan!\"\n\nMajima initially appears in Yakuza in the alley behind Serena, where he finds one of his own family members sprawled on the ground with Kazuma Kiryu standing over him. Delighted to have come across him, Majima catches up with Kiryu and asks about his plans for starting his own family. He openly expresses his envy for how Kiryu is often surrounded by beautiful women, presumably referring to Yumi and/or Reina. Majima decides to \"take responsibility\" for his family member's attack on Kiryu, striking him repeatedly with an umbrella. Kiryu grabs Majima by the arm and tells him to stop. Disappointed, Majima complies with Kiryu's request before leaving some parting words, saying that Kiryu needs to learn to enforce discipline for when the time comes that he creates his own family.\n\nIn Yakuza Kiwami, Kiryu responds to Majima's advice, stating that he will discipline his family but will do so his way, using \"logical methods.\" Feeling challenged, Majima asks Kiryu if he is looking for a fight. Kiryu refuses, sternly stating that it would not be logical and apologizes for causing any offense. This angers Majima further, who continues to goad Kiryu into a physical confrontation by striking him across the face multiple times with his umbrella, causing him to bleed, before threatening him with a blade. Kiryu stands calmly and refuses to hit back, asking if Majima is satisfied. Impressed by Kiryu's strong resolve, Majima backs down, telling Kiryu that \"this world isn't logical\" and that he risks getting himself killed if he refuses to change. The Dragon of Dojima acknowledges that his ideals will never change, regardless of his own personal safety. Majima leaves, excited by the prospect of the two of them fighting each other someday.

When he was oath brothers with Saejima, he served as the calmer mind of the two. Although he lacked the same mental commitment as Saejima, he was the one concerned about Yasuko's welfare on the day before the hit. His loyalty to Saejima was evident throughout the years, culminating in his choice to let Shimano kill him when Sera and Sagawa ordered him to kill Shimano to ensure a secret alliance never reached the Omi Alliance. After he returned to Shimano's good graces, he cultivated the feared reputation of the \"Mad Dog,\" the unpredictable enforcer of Shimano's law. Later years revealed his more sincere side and a sense of loyalty that was virtually unknown to Kiryu. After meeting Nishitani, he became a person with little concern for his own mortality, mirroring Nishitani's disregard for personal well-being in pursuit of his goals.\n\nWhile debatably good at heart, Majima is not quite as saintly as Kiryu, as he does not feel compelled to save everyone all the time. However, he generally makes a point of saving the innocent from offenders, particularly the young and the weak. He takes the title of Yakuza very seriously and has little qualm about beating those who risk tarnishing the mantle, regardless of their ability.\n\nMajima also serves as the comic relief in the series. His sense of dark humor is evident in Dead Souls, where he laughs at the suffering of several con men as they are about to be bitten by customers they had scammed. It is also seen in the Majima training sessions, where he adopts disguises solely for the purpose of training Kiryu. In Kiwami 2, Majima makes light of collapsing from his injuries by hitting on Sayama, much to her chagrin.\n\nFighting Style\n\nYakuza 0\n\nMajima makes his canonical playable debut with the ability to switch between different fighting styles never before displayed in the series. Mirroring Kiryu, he has four styles revolving around a default balanced style that is effective in most, if not all, situations; a style focused on power that relies on slow but immensely strong attacks and increases resistance to enemy attacks; a style focused on speed to hit enemies quickly while dodging just as fast to avoid being hit; and a secret, legendary fighting style that the character will canonically adopt as their fighting style for the rest of the series.\n\nMajima is skilled in the use of many weapons, including nunchaku, swords, knives, bats, and batons. Compared to Kiryu's brute swinging, Majima wields them with proper technique and training. His choice of empty-handed combat seems to be Hapkido mixed with dirty fighting techniques.\n\nBalanced - Thug (dubbed Street Fighter in the Japanese release)\n\nMajima's canonical style throughout Yakuza 0, which is a fluid combination of punches, kicks, rolls, and counters, emphasizes street fighting with hints of trickery and sneak attacks. Majima is also able to dodge twice thanks to his speed. This style also enables Majima to handle certain melee weapons with grace, perform disarm tackles on enemies who carry a gun, detect concealed personal arms from enemies, and even snatch weapons off of enemies.

Or go to Oxbridge? How many are millionaires? Is their money stashed in Panama? Do they have existing links to big business? Has there been a wholesale MP expenses scandal? Is there a long-running suspicion of top-level conspiracy on child abuse or football death cover-ups?

There is a gap in the market where the Liberals used to be because, if we have to wait for independence, there is a compelling case for UK federalism.

It was guys like Dean Potter, who floated in torn Prana rags and walked barefoot among the colossal ponderosa pines like a native spirit, one moment bounding clear across slack lines in the back of Camp 4, the next moment gone, off on some other crazy shit.\n\nMy dirtbag fantasy came to an unexpected end when I got an opportunity to take a desk job working for a climbing magazine, and I spent the next decade covering the sport of climbing as it grew and grew. When I first started writing about climbing, I had a big middle finger to give to all the old bald fucks who protested the direction the sport was taking. Lamenting bygone days is an unflattering habit, one I promised myself I'd avoid, the way one avoids Jim Beyer routes, when I reached an age when it's appropriate to start behaving in such a surly manner.\n\nThankfully, I'm not yet bald, but I am feeling rather surly when I look around and see the state of climbing, with its increasing focus on marketing and morphing just-above-average millennial climbers into narcissistic brand ambassadors who are famous on social media but don't appear to actually do anything substantial on the rock. Or, more likely, perhaps, they've done one or two hard routes of some debatable grade, then ride that achievement for as long and as far as they can.\n\nApparently, I'm not alone.\n\nIn a recent Instagram post, Alex Puccio penned an interesting rant that began, albeit cryptically, with \"Dear publicity and Media ...\"\n\nShe goes on:", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12095, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "08146c819286941d073a48256765e7dd9d393766", "raw_chars": 1568, "clean_chars": 1575, "edit_ratio": 0.9052, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Hi Dunkin' Donuts,\n\nReally?\n\nI never thought I would say this, but Rachael Ray is not a terrorist.

Because every state in Europe, whether or not it is in the EU, participates in the single market: Norway, Andorra, Turkey, Switzerland, Serbia, the Channel Islands, and so forth. The only exceptions are Belarus and Russia, which have instead chosen to form a Eurasian union.\n\nAre we supposed to believe that only the United Kingdom would be excluded? That we would be penalized despite the fact that, over the 43 years of our membership, we have bought more from the other member states than we have sold them, to the tune of £40 million a day? It is hardly normal, after all, for salesmen to chase away their customers.\n\nWhat are the big corporations worried about? If our continued access to the single market is secure either way, why are they bothered about whether we take part in the various non-trade aspects of the EU, such as foreign affairs, energy policy, immigration, and criminal justice?\n\nTo answer that question, look at which businessmen are lining up on which side. While the corporate types tend to be instinctively pro-Brussels, sensing that the EU was designed by and for people like themselves, the entrepreneurs often take a different view. Listen, for example, to Peter Hargreaves, who co-founded Hargreaves Lansdown, one of Britain's largest and most successful financial enterprises. \"If you took a blank sheet of paper and wrote down all the benefits that derive from EU membership, you'd still have a blank sheet of paper.\"\n\nOr listen to Dr. Nigel Wilson, chief executive of the insurance giant Legal & General, who told the Daily Mail earlier this week that the costs of EU regulation were holding Britain back in global markets. \"I see the world as a huge opportunity for the UK, but we are underachieving by concentrating on Europe, which is growing too slowly,\" he said. \"This will not lead to economic growth in the UK.\"\n\nWhy don't the CBI panjandrums and mega-banks agree? Part of the answer, I'm afraid, is that they have spent a great deal of time and money lobbying in Brussels to get rules that suit them and disadvantage their rivals. When I was a new MEP, I was surprised by how keen big businesses were on regulation; I had innocently assumed that they would want less government interference. Now I know better. The multi-nationals see EU rules as a useful way to raise barriers against smaller competitors, who can't as easily afford the compliance costs. A glance at the EU's lobbying register tells me that, last year, Airbus spent €500,000 (£360,000) on making its case in Brussels, employing ten lobbyists.\n\nDoom merchants insist Britain cannot survive outside of the European Union. It is hardly surprising that such a company should want to keep the status quo. Nor should we take remotely seriously the idea that it might in future reduce investment in Britain if we leave the EU.\n\nFifteen months ago, before the referendum campaign began and the Brussels apparatchiks started twisting arms, Airbus's chief executive gave an honest assessment of his company's intentions: \"Clearly we have a massive investment in the UK and I don't think there has ever been a plan to change that. Profitable trade and political union are not joined at the hip. Russian and American companies trade with companies in Europe without being part of a political union. Business investment depends on profits, not politics.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12100, "chunk_idx": 6, "raw_sha1": "4f030c0131e402f3c532a6e65e907c75bcd41381", "raw_chars": 3120, "clean_chars": 2935, "edit_ratio": 0.7612, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Lyrics are unusual in that they typically influence the space allotted to only a single note at a single rhythmic position. If the same word or syllable is sung over multiple notes, it is usually left-aligned with the first note, opening up more space for a longer lyric to its left. Because there is at least one more note to come, there is typically enough space to the right to avoid increasing the rhythmic spacing in any case. However, for a troublesome word like \"strength\" on a single note, it must be positioned relative to the note such that it neither collides with other words to its immediate left or right nor strays too far under another adjacent note or rest that lacks its own lyric. This careful positioning avoids introducing ambiguity over the true home for that word. At the same time, the goal is to avoid simply always adding rhythmic space for wide words and syllables. If one moves a lyric left or right to avoid adding space, it may introduce a new collision with an adjacent lyric, leading to a vicious cycle of shuffling lyrics left and right in futility.\n\nThe exact details of how these concerns are balanced are kept under wraps for now, but the result is that lyrics can move subtly to the left and right to reduce the amount of additional rhythmic space needed to accommodate them. This is achieved without introducing ambiguities in the underlay or causing collisions elsewhere on the system. The effect is subtle, which is as it should be, in common with dozens of other tiny details to which great attention has been paid in building Dorico. It mirrors the similarly subtle and clever gambits employed by skilled human engravers over the past two centuries.\n\nKeep control\n\nIn contrast to the subtleties of how Dorico adjusts the alignment and spacing of lyrics to produce a pleasing result, the way it handles edits to the lyrics themselves is decidedly unsubtle and usefully direct. In other scoring programs, one of the annoyances of working with lyrics is that you cannot easily change the way the application thinks about a given lyric once it has been created. For example, if a lyric ends up left-aligned when it should be centred under the note because it was copied and pasted from one staff to another, there is often no option but to delete and re-enter the lyric to change its alignment. In Dorico, by contrast, you can simply select the lyric, open the Properties panel, and change its syllable type. This will not only change its alignment as needed but also fix up any extender lines or hyphens affected by the change.\n\nIt is also easy to make larger-scale edits, such as changing the order of verses. You can simply select a lyric in the line you want to move elsewhere, right-click, and choose the new line number. Any existing lyrics in that line number will be swapped with the lyrics you are moving.

Despite numerous enthusiastic lectures over the years, he has always maintained a degree of distrust toward cryptocurrency. As a proud environmentalist, he has never been fond of deregulated \"free markets\" or technologies designed to promote them. Nevertheless, his strong dislike of big banks and Bitcoin's decentralization, along with its promise to \"get away from Federal Reserve control,\" piqued his interest.\n\nWhen I first suggested he try it out, he was hesitant. Computers have never been his favorite thing, despite his affection for posting liberal memes on his newly created Facebook account. As he matter-of-factly stated, \"I'm not from the digital age.\" However, after some persuasion and the promise that he could buy a USB keyboard to use on his laptop—which refuses to register the letters \"s\" and \"w\"—he relented.\n\nAfter helping him set up a web wallet and transferring some coins to him, we went searching for a keyboard on Overstock. After a little browsing and watching an excellent YouTube review, he settled on a Klear Keys XL and proceeded to checkout. This is where we encountered his first complaint: \"using small increments of Bitcoin can be confusing.\"\n\nWhile many in the Bitcoin community have advocated switching to mBTC to counteract the problems associated with prices being listed as \"0.1584223,\" this is exactly what my father ran into when checking out on Overstock. Although Overstock offers Coinbase integration to bypass payment issues, he was using GreenAddress.it. This meant typing in seven digits and voicing a worried comment about the dangers of messing up a decimal place. Luckily, we made it through without wasting a single satoshi, and the keyboard was on its way. Or so we thought.\n\nA couple of days later, my father forwarded me an email from Overstock regarding the purchase. They explained that \"after the order was processed there was a system connection error and our system cancelled the order because it thought we had not been paid.\"\n\nThe email was actually the first of three. The third notified him that since he had not responded to the first two (his email doesn't get checked very often), a refund had been issued to the Coinbase account registered under his email. He wasn't sure what to do, because as far as he knew, he had no Coinbase account.\n\nThis is when I remembered making an account for him in December when I was home for the holidays, trying to convince him that sub-$1000 was \"cheap coin\" territory. He replied that it would be back at $500 in a few months—a smart man, indeed. After a little inbox searching, he recovered the Coinbase password and was able to redo his purchase, this time on his own.\n\nVerdict\n\nWhen I asked my father to describe his experience using Bitcoin, the word he kept coming back to was \"cumbersome.\" He complained about how he \"had to have three accounts open for an online transaction: Coinbase, Overstock, and my email account,\" and that \"sometimes, because of tech reasons, it just doesn't work.\"\n\nFinally, when I asked whether he would prefer to use a debit card or Bitcoin for online purchases after this trial, he selected the former without hesitation. However, despite these worries, his opinion of Bitcoin had improved enough since the trial that he finally relented to my lectures and purchased a full coin for cold storage (at his target price of $500, of course).\n\nThe Girlfriend", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12107, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "ee5c115ae509e87268295e50be8c798c34bee20e", "raw_chars": 3100, "clean_chars": 2857, "edit_ratio": 0.8764, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Here is the central problem for Mitt Romney: as a Republican candidate for president, he finds himself in an unenviable position where he cannot effectively run on any sort of record. He has attempted to campaign on his background as a businessman, but that strategy has proven ineffective. Democrats have successfully portrayed him as a robber baron who liquidated companies, including Bain & Company, for profit while disregarding the pensions of ordinary citizens. He also cannot run on his record as governor, because doing so would force the Republican base to confront the fact that he implemented a form of socialized medicine in Massachusetts, which alienates conservative voters. Furthermore, he cannot clearly articulate his own economic plan, as it is heavily reliant on the proposals of his vice-presidential pick, Paul Ryan. Ryan's economic agenda is widely viewed as extreme, resembling policies that would lead to an oligarchy similar to that of 1990s Russia rather than a stable economy.\n\nConstrained in his options, Romney has had to rely almost entirely on his personal image to make a case for himself. He projects a genial smile that does not quite reach his eyes, a head of hair strategically allowed to gray at the temples, and a paternal aura of competence that suggests voters should trust him to handle the details later. Given that the economy remained sluggish and President Obama was perceived as somewhat detached, and with Romney benefiting from Super PACs that flooded swing states with advertisements, this personal appeal had a reasonable chance of success. However, this strategy ultimately depends on voters trusting Romney to make sane, responsible, and intelligent decisions.\n\nThis is why Romney jeopardized his presidential campaign this week: he demonstrated a clear capacity to make terrible choices. First, he decided to engage in overt political maneuvering during a foreign crisis, an event generally considered off-limits for such tactics. Second, he issued a statement criticizing the president while the crisis was still unfolding and deteriorating. Third, he blamed the president for actions he had no involvement in, specifically referencing a press release from the besieged embassy that his own administration had disavowed. Finally, once the facts of the events became clear and it was evident that Romney's statements contained serious factual errors, he doubled down on these incorrect assertions during a press conference.\n\nThe appalling nature of Romney's decision-making in attacking Obama over the embassy attacks was such that it took the Republican Party three full days to devise a messaging strategy that could loosely support Romney's position.

Beaton often advised his retouchers to slim the waistlines of sitters or remove double chins. These details were vital in constructing an idealized image. These were not documentary shots; they represented a much more romantic style of portraiture where no hair was out of place and every detail was perfect.\n\nBeaton never worked alone during his royal portrait sittings. These were elaborate events that required a crew of assistants. For historians researching Beaton’s work, it has been incredibly useful to interview some of the assistants who are still alive, particularly John Drysdale and Ray Harwood, who both worked with Beaton on the day of the coronation sitting at Buckingham Palace. Both Ray and John had previously worked as assistants at Vogue studios, assisting various photographers primarily on fashion and portrait sittings.\n\nRay Harwood recalled that Beaton was very much in control. At the coronation, he desperately needed his assistants because there was a lot of work to be done, and the preparation took two days. On the third day, the Queen arrived and sat down into the prepared set. The assistants had to conduct a dummy run with the lighting beforehand; they could not simply stand there and wait for the Queen to pose and then adjust the lighting. \"By God, no chance!\" Harwood remarked.\n\nJohn Drysdale added that they had even exposed film that had previously been developed to ensure they got the right exposure. Beaton came in, and after a very short time, they began processing through all the people. They took pictures as fast as possible, piling up the slides and getting them out of the way before bringing in the next batch. Harwood noted that they had done it before. Drysdale had been on several royal shoots, and so had Harwood, so it was not a question of being awed by the fact that the Queen was in the same room. They were very aware that they had been to Buckingham Palace before and hardly had time to look at her. She was there, they put the film in, exposed it as many times as they could, and then the moment she moved off, the next person moved in.

Sometimes, however, a deal that isn't done becomes undone in a way that pisses people off.\n\nIan Rapoport of NFL Media explains that the intention of receiver Emmanuel Sanders to sign a contract with the Broncos on Sunday occurred after his agent, Steve Weinberg, accepted a deal in principle with the Chiefs. Weinberg is specifically accused of \"shopping the Chiefs offer\" to the Buccaneers, without explaining that he'd told the Chiefs the terms had been accepted. Thereafter, Weinberg agreed to terms with the Broncos.\n\nPer Rapoport, the 49ers also are upset because Weinberg agreed to send Sanders to San Francisco for a visit before \"blowing it off.\" (That's hardly uncommon, though.)\n\n\"When a man gives you his words and pulls out then gives another team your word and pulls out, then gives another team his word. . . . Not proper,\" an unnamed executive told NFL Media.\n\nThat quote creates the impression Weinberg agreed to terms with two other teams before agreeing to terms with the Broncos. It's unclear, however, whether an agreement in principle was reached with the Buccaneers.\n\n\"This was one of the worst situations in modern football negotiations,\" an unnamed executive from an unnamed team involved in the situation told NFL Media. \"Totally wrong. This needs to be stopped.\"\n\n(Actually, it's probably much worse for a team to agree to terms with a player, to tell him that he passed his physical, and then to decide that he failed his physical.)\n\nThere's an easy way to stop it. Teams who get burned by agents who engage in allegedly unscrupulous practices should simply refuse to do business with those agents. While Weinberg and Sanders had every right to renege on agreements that were not legally binding — and they're not legally binding until the paperwork is signed (which perhaps should make the Broncos a little nervous) — there's an unwritten code in every industry that allows business to be transacted efficiently and reliably.\n\nThose who violate that code have a harder time transacting business in the future. But instead of merely deciding quietly to put Weinberg on an internal list of agents who can't be trusted (it's likely not a short list), someone has opted to smear Weinberg broadly by complaining publicly (but anonymously, of course) about Weinberg and apparently by pointing out to NFL Media the details of Weinberg's decertification by the NFLPA that occurred more than a decade ago, for reasons unrelated to negotiation tactics or practices.\n\nSo the obvious goal of the Chiefs or whoever has complained via off-the-record quotes about Weinberg is to make it harder for him to do business in the future with the Chiefs or any other teams.\n\nOf course, it's safe to say that the Broncos currently have no problems with Weinberg.

Similar weapons have been implicated in high-profile mass shootings in Newtown, Connecticut; Aurora, Colorado; San Bernardino, California; Dallas; and Orlando, among other locations.\n\nIn contrast, Dave Workman, senior editor of The Gun Mag, a publication of the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation, argued that rifles are involved in a very small percentage of homicides. Citing FBI data from 2014, Workman noted that fewer than 4 percent of homicides in Washington involved rifles. \"We're talking about one 19-year-old kid who is now charged with that crime and thousands and tens of thousands of people who own these guns in Washington state who haven't hurt anybody,\" he said.\n\nSeattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole urged the Legislature to take action, stating, \"Individuals should not have easy access to assault weapons.

Inslee, who voted for the 1994 federal assault-weapons ban while serving in Congress, has a history of supporting similar measures. \"The attorney general's proposal is one of many things that we should all be looking at to reduce gun violence,\" Smith said.\n\nBill Bryant, Inslee's Republican challenger, stated that he would need to see how \"assault weapon\" is defined before deciding whether to support a ban. He emphasized that the state should focus on improving its mental-health system and pointed out that automatic weapons are already banned.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12129, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d4f351d7b7e751eb374e56759f30bfffcf5e042f", "raw_chars": 2818, "clean_chars": 2806, "edit_ratio": 0.4026, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "An investigation is underway in Louisa County regarding the shooting of a dog, an incident that has sparked a debate between animal rights and property rights.

Chief had escaped with another dog from Perez's mother's property on Hanback Road near Gordonsville.\n\n\"They were running around behind the carport, and I called their names,\" Perez recalled. \"Then they looked at me and took off running.\"\n\nPerez pursued the dogs through wooded property, spotting them several times along the way. \"I wasn't 50 yards behind them,\" he said. \"And I was screaming their names the whole time from here to that guy's house.\"\n\nHe said he saw Chief one last time at the edge of a neighbor's property, near the road. \"That's when I heard him shoot my dog,\" Perez said.\n\nFollowing the shot, Perez heard Chief's cries and encountered the neighbor. The neighbor, who has not been charged with a crime and is not being named by CBS19, was unreachable by reporters. Perez described the encounter: \"I saw him standing on the porch with his gun. All he said was he was sorry, he had chickens that had been going missing.\"\n\nPerez stated that he never saw or heard any chickens, and noted that Chief frequently visits chickens at his mother's house without ever chasing them. \"He doesn't bother anyone,\" Perez said. \"He loves everybody.\"\n\nMajor Donald Lowe of the Louisa County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the neighbor made the same claim to responding officers. He explained that Virginia state law permits individuals who own poultry or agricultural animals to shoot a dog if it has killed or is chasing them. \"We have to determine all the facts and what we can and can't prove,\" Lowe said.\n\nPerez is relieved that Chief survived but remains concerned about the investigation. He noted that after his initial call to report the shooting, he has not been interviewed again. Perez emphasized that he was close to the dog when the shot was fired and that the chickens on the property were nowhere near where his dog was shot. Additionally, he said the veterinarian found no evidence of feathers on the dog.\n\nAfter being shot, Chief ran back to Perez's mother's home. There, Perez's grandfather wrapped the dog tightly to stop heavy bleeding from the bullet wound, which had come close to striking the dog's spine. The family then took Chief to an emergency veterinary clinic in Charlottesville, where he underwent life-saving surgery that cost the family more than $2,000.\n\nWhile Chief is physically recuperating, Perez is still coping with the emotional trauma of seeing his beloved pet grievously injured. \"I almost lost my best friend,\" he said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12147, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "86b5679684526197c49dbbb02faebe1606455121", "raw_chars": 1464, "clean_chars": 1433, "edit_ratio": 0.922, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Mohammed Badie, the Supreme Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, declared that the Egyptian army's overthrow of former President Mohammed Mursi was worse than the destruction of Islam's holiest shrine, the Kaaba.

Silicon Valley and many of its top executives were vocal supporters of Clinton, who aligned with the business and social issues generally backed by the tech industry.\n\nThiel was one of the few in the tech industry to defy this trend and support Trump, including by making a $1.25 million pledge to the campaign. A billionaire, Facebook board member, and PayPal co-founder, Thiel made his fortune backing internet staples such as Facebook when those companies were mere startups with big dreams.\n\nHis support of Trump earned him a prime speaking slot at the Republican National Convention, where he argued that Trump would be the right person to bring Silicon Valley's level of success to the United States as a whole. In that speech, Thiel conjured a golden age when innovation and opportunity existed throughout the country, not just in a West Coast tech hub.

The following options are available on this page:\n\n- Personalize ads: Disabling this won't reduce the number of ads you see, but they may become less relevant.\n- Personalize based on your apps: This tailors the experience based on the apps you use on your devices.\n- Personalize across all your devices: This enables personalization on all devices where you sign in.\n- Personalize based on the places you've been: This uses location information for personalization.\n- Track where you see Twitter content across the web: This may use sites you visit for personalization.\n- Share data through select partnerships: If enabled, Twitter shares data \"through selected partnerships.\"\n\nYou can use the \"Disable all\" button at the top to turn them all off, or uncheck specific options individually.\n\nWhat is probably more pressing right now is that some users have reported on Twitter that the company has enabled location tagging without asking. You can verify if this is the case by going to the Safety settings on Twitter to look up the status of the Tweet location preference.

To create a basic index, you can use the command db.books.createIndex({title: 1}). For a unique index, specify the unique option as true, such as db.books.createIndex({isbn: 1}, {unique: true}).\n\nYou can also create compound indexes on multiple fields by providing a list of fields and their respective sort orders. For example, db.books.createIndex({title: 1, author: -1}) creates an index on both the title and author fields. To view all indexes in a collection, use db.collection.getIndexes(), or specifically for the books collection, db.books.getIndexes(). To remove an index, use db.collection.dropIndex({indexField: type}), such as db.books.dropIndex({author: -1}). You can also view index statistics using db.collection.stats() or db.books.stats().\n\nCursor methods allow you to manipulate query results. The cursor.count() method, used as db.books.find().count(), returns the number of documents in the collection. To limit the number of returned documents, use cursor.limit(n), for example, db.books.find().limit(2). To skip the first n documents in the result set, use cursor.skip(n), such as db.books.find().skip(2). You can sort the documents in ascending or descending order using cursor.sort({field: value}), where 1 represents ascending and -1 represents descending. For instance, db.books.find().sort({title: 1}) sorts by title in ascending order. To display results in a more readable format, use cursor.pretty(), as in db.books.find({}).pretty().\n\nComparison operators enable precise querying. The $eq operator matches documents where the field equals a specific value, such as db.books.find({year: {$eq: 2016}}). The $lt operator matches documents where the field is less than a value, like db.books.find({year: {$lt: 2010}}). The $lte operator matches documents where the field is less than or equal to a value, for example, db.books.find({year: {$lte: 2008}}). The $gt operator matches documents where the field is greater than a value, such as db.books.find({year: {$gt: 2014}}). The $gte operator matches documents where the field is greater than or equal to a value, like db.books.find({year: {$gte: 2008}}). The $ne operator matches documents where the field is not equal to a value, for instance, db.books.find({year: {$ne: 2008}}). The $in operator matches documents where the field value is in a specified array, such as db.books.find({year: {$in: [2008, 2016]}}). The $nin operator matches documents where the field value is not in a specified array, like db.books.find({year: {$nin: [2008, 2016]}}).\n\nLogical operators allow for complex queries. The $or operator matches documents that satisfy at least one of the specified expressions, for example, db.books.find({$or: [{year: {$lte: 2008}}, {year: {$eq: 2016}}]}). The $and operator matches documents that satisfy all specified expressions, such as db.books.find({$and: [{year: {$eq: 2008}}, {category: {$eq: \"Fiction\"}}]}). The $not operator matches documents that do not satisfy a specified expression, like db.books.find({$not: {year: {$eq: 2016}}}). The $nor operator matches documents that do not satisfy any of the specified expressions, for instance, db.books.find({$nor: [{year: {$lte: 2008}}, {year: {$eq: 2016}}]}).\n\nElement operators help filter based on field existence and data type. The $exists operator matches documents that contain the specified field, such as db.books.find({category: {$exists: true}}). The $type operator matches documents where the field value is of a specified BSON data type, for example, db.books.find({category: {$type: 2}}).\n\nNote that databases in MongoDB are created on the fly and are actually created when you insert something into them.

He specified the quantity ordered for the Croatian Army: 20,000 VHS-2 rifles (Višenamjenska Hrvatska Strojnica 2). The Croatian Army currently possesses approximately 7,000 units of the original VHS-1 domestic assault rifle, and they aim to replace them with the newer VHS-2 model. The minister mentioned some timeframes for these deliveries, though they would be influenced by the export deals of the Croatian military industry. There are no fixed deadlines; the schedule will be determined later.\n\nŽeljko Pavlin, director of HS Produkt in Karlovac, emphasized that the VHS-2 rifle was only recently introduced to the market. He noted that it is not merely an improved version of the VHS-1; rather, it contains so many innovations that it is almost a new rifle, offering significant advancements in the segment of assault (automatic) rifles. HS Produkt, together with the Croatian Ministry of Defense, conducted a series of tests, starting with prototype weapons, moving to serial production, and then continuing tests with serial rifles. Pavlin stressed that the Croatian Army's order is very important for them.\n\nConcurrently, HS Produkt and the Ministry of Defense tested the VHS-2 abroad, and last year they successfully signed a contract to sell 10,000 rifles to a foreign buyer. According to Pavlin, this buyer was Iraq. The VHS-2 will also be present in several tenders for automatic rifles in countries across Europe and beyond. Pavlin further emphasized that they learned a great deal from the design of the VHS-1.

Such deposits will be accepted only after two bank officials are satisfied with the depositor's explanation for not depositing the funds earlier. Additionally, accounts must be compliant with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations; otherwise, deposits will be restricted to Rs 50,000. The central bank emphasized in a notification that the depositor's explanation must be kept on record to facilitate an audit trail at a later stage.\n\nThe government withdrew 500- and 1,000-rupee notes on November 8 in an effort to combat the parallel 'black economy'. Since then, it has announced near-daily changes to banking rules to manage the transition. The banned notes can be deposited in banks until December 30, after which they can be exchanged at select RBI counters until March 31. However, this sudden move has caused a severe cash crunch. Cash withdrawals from banks have been restricted to Rs 24,000 per account per week, although most banks are unable to provide even that amount. The government has stated it will replenish most of the withdrawn cash—approximately 86% of the money in circulation—with new 2,000- and 500-rupee notes.\n\nLate in the evening, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley clarified that no questions would be asked if junked currency was deposited in one go, but repeat deposits might raise queries. He noted that if the same person goes to deposit currency every day, it gives rise to suspicion, and such individuals may have something to worry about. Therefore, everyone was advised to deposit whatever old currency they have immediately. Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad added that the government would provide a structured response to the new norms after meeting with heads of banks.

His father, with whom Modiano never established a bond, continually placed him in schools in and out of Paris whenever he could afford to, and eked out a living through shady deals with disreputable people, some of whom were thought to have been gangsters. Given the petty larceny that mother and son engaged in, and the father's suspicious illegal dealings, and the paranoia that follows in the wake of criminality, it is understandable that the narrator of Ring Roads, a semi-autobiographical novel about father and son, remarks that in Paris, for people like them, \"Menace loomed everywhere.\"\n\nIt has been claimed that Modiano's range of work is narrow and repetitive. He himself has said that for over 45 years he has always been writing the same novel. But if his works deal with a narrow range of themes and are repetitive, they are so in the way that Ravel's Boléro is repetitive: a simple melody with insistent, intricate, increasing orchestration that holds our attention from beginning to spectacular end.\n\nThe novels reviewed in this article, like most of Modiano's work, revolve around tragedy while not conforming to the classic structure of tragedy, in which someone who possesses high social position, or great wealth, or intelligence, or power, or beauty suffers a reversal of fortune due to some flaw of character. Rather, his novels are infused with the tragic sense of life, as defined by the philosopher Miguel de Unamuno, who named this state of existence: the sense of tragedy that comes from our being self-conscious creatures who, through the act of living, are brought face to face with our frailty and our limitations, the chief one of which is our mortality.\n\nModiano's work is also different from classic tragedy in that, for the most part, the people he writes about are from the lower strata of society — gamblers, drifters, grifters, prostitutes, slumlords, and jockeys. Modiano admits in Ring Roads that he knows the life stories of these shadows are of no great interest to anyone, but if he didn't write them down, no one else would do it. It is his duty, since he knew them, to drag them — if only for an instant — from the darkness. It is a duty, but for him it is also a necessary thing.\n\nCommentators and critics have pointed out that the structure of many of Modiano's novels borrows the format of detective stories. However, while his characters are frequently chasing down clues and coming up with theories about the behavior of the people they are investigating, and imagining what that person could have been doing or thinking at any given point in time, Modiano's writing is not the stuff typical of the detective genre. In fact, his narrators, who are frequently carrying out some sort of investigation, have more in common with Samuel Beckett's deracinated, self-reflecting characters (especially in the trilogy Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable) than they do with Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade or Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe — who always get their man. For in Modiano, no villain will be captured, no vengeance wreaked, no one brought to justice.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12191, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "0773e77be61d2890219fba633d24d082b6595a5b", "raw_chars": 3401, "clean_chars": 3389, "edit_ratio": 0.1691, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As in the works of Samuel Beckett, characters in Patrick Modiano’s novels share their mental states, memories (or lack thereof), and describe their physical locations (or lack thereof) with great gusto and enthralling detail. They struggle with questions about what happened to them, where they are, where they are going, why they are going there, what they have lost, and what they have left. Coincidentally, perhaps, both Modiano’s and Beckett’s protagonists and narrators are writers, want to be writers, or tell people they are writers, and they both struggle with memory issues. In Malone Dies, Malone writes, \"At first I did not write, I just said the thing. Then I forgot what I had said. A minimum of memory is indispensable, if one is to live really.\"\n\nMemory occupies an odd place in consciousness, somewhere between reality and dream. This intersection is an area of interest for Modiano, who is acutely aware of the intermittent interpenetration of these different states of consciousness and how, for example, \"the contagion of dreams into reality\" affects our existence.\n\nWhat our memories hold, how we maintain them or find them when they seem to have disappeared, and how we verify that they are correct if we find them, are the very subjects about which Modiano writes. By capturing his memories about people and places and writing them down in the form of novels and memoirs, he forces himself and us to remember them. As he says in Afterimage, \"I refused to accept that people and things could disappear without a trace. How could anyone resign himself to that?\"\n\nOther writers have devoted their art to capturing memories, notably Marcel Proust, to whom Modiano is often compared. In Proust, however, memories arise from sensations or sensorial impressions, and in Remembrance of Things Past, the narrator Marcel does not question the verisimilitude or reality of his memories. His concern is whether a memory will \"ultimately reach the clear surface of my consciousness, this memory, this old dead moment.\"\n\nModiano is not concerned with bringing what he calls a \"dead moment\" to consciousness, nor with the structure of memory or how it functions, as Proust was. A narrator in a Modiano novel either has a memory of an event, such as, \"I remember a car ride, five years later, from Pigalle to the Champs-Elysées,\" or he has no memory of an event. Or, like a character in Beckett’s trilogy, he has no memory even of himself, as the narrator searching for himself in Missing Person thinks, \"I no longer remember if, that evening, my name was Jimmy or Pedro, Stern or McEvory.\" Characters in Modiano stories often find themselves in a state in which reality, memory, and dream are becoming conflated, as with the narrator in Out of the Dark: \"I was in a dream, and I had to wake up. The ties connecting me to the present were stretching.\"\n\nModiano’s protagonists unearth names, dates, old telephone directories, addresses, pictures, police files, and fabricate a past (real or imaginary?) out of the memories they disinter. But a Damocles’s sword hangs over them, constantly threatening obliteration. It is Modiano’s work to keep the threat at bay for as long as possible so that he can proceed with his investigation. The exquisite structure and pacing of his storytelling technique allows him to create, like Proust, a hallucinatory world of intense emotional reality.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12208, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "ba1bc6b433f141c55dc2c876e38c86acc0516ac7", "raw_chars": 799, "clean_chars": 798, "edit_ratio": 0.0182, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "“Somehow Mexico’s illegitimate president Peña Nieto is still in charge and getting away with it.”\n\nMoving on to a more optimistic topic—touring—Alberto is hyped again, particularly about the band’s much-anticipated appearance at Liverpool Psych Fest on September 23 and 24, and Oslo Psych Fest on November 11-12.\n\n“TOURING!!!

According to Glamour, which consulted with dietitians on the subject, while vinegar may offer some assistance in shedding pounds, it is certainly not a magic solution. Beth Warren, an author and dietitian, emphasizes that it is not a quick fix, while other professionals note that consuming vinegar can lead to stomach discomfort and acid reflux. Some researchers even suggest that these adverse effects might be what actually curb appetite.\n\nThe recent surge in interest regarding vinegar appears to stem from a 2009 Japanese study. In that study, obese adults who consumed up to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar daily lost between two and four pounds over a 12-week period. Other news outlets have echoed Glamour's findings. Nutritionist Carol Johnston told the New York Times that vinegar can help with weight loss, but only for \"a very, very patient person,\" reiterating that it is not a \"magic bullet.\" Johnston explained to the Washington Post that vinegar may assist in weight loss by inhibiting enzymes that help digest starch. By reducing starch digestion, vinegar can prevent significant blood sugar spikes after consuming carbohydrates. Over time, these undigested calories may contribute to \"very modest\" weight loss.\n\nFor those interested in trying vinegar, experts recommend consuming just one tablespoon diluted in eight ounces of water at the beginning of a meal. Johnston also notes that the type of vinegar does not necessarily have to be apple cider vinegar; red wine vinegar or white vinegar can be used as well. However, caution is advised. As reported by the New York Times, excessive consumption of vinegar has been linked to vocal cord spasms, fainting, damage to the esophagus, and tooth erosion.\n\nThis article originally appeared on Newser: Vinegar for Weight Loss?

Daniel therefore reinterprets the seventy years as seventy \"weeks\" of years, totaling 490 years. These 70 weeks, or 490 years, are subdivided, with seven \"weeks\" spanning from the \"going forth of the word to rebuild and restore Jerusalem\" to the coming of an \"anointed one.\" The final \"week\" is marked by the violent death of another \"anointed one,\" likely the High Priest Onias III, who was ousted to make way for Jason and murdered in 171 BC, along with the profanation of the Temple.

While Christian interpreters have traditionally viewed these elements as predicting New Testament events—identifying figures such as the \"Son of God,\" the \"Son of Man,\" Christ, and the Antichrist—the book's intended audience was actually the Jews of the second century BC. The following overview outlines some of these prophecies as understood by modern biblical scholars.\n\nThe Four Kingdoms and the Little Horn (Daniel 2 and 7)\n\nThe concept of four successive world empires originates from Greek theories of mythological history. Most modern interpreters agree that these four empires represent Babylon, the Medes, Persia, and the Greeks, ultimately culminating in the Hellenistic Seleucid Syria and Ptolemaic Egypt. The symbolism of the four metals in the statue from chapter 2 is derived from Persian writings, while the four \"beasts from the sea\" in chapter 7 echo Hosea 13:7–8, where God threatens to act toward Israel like a lion, a leopard, a bear, or a wild beast. Scholars generally agree that the four beasts in chapter 7, much like the metals in chapter 2, symbolize Babylon, Media, Persia, and the Seleucids. In this framework, Antiochus IV (who reigned from 175 to 164 BC) is identified as the \"little horn\" that uproots three others, having usurped the rights of several other claimants to become king of the Seleucid Empire.\n\nThe Ancient of Days and the One Like a Son of Man (Daniel 7)\n\nThe portrayal of God in Daniel 7:13 bears a resemblance to the depiction of the Canaanite god El as an ancient divine king presiding over a divine court. The \"Ancient of Days\" grants dominion over the earth to \"one like a son of man,\" and subsequently to \"the people of the holy ones of the Most High\" in Daniel 7:27.

Most crucially, Commissioner Franck helped us by arranging a series of meetings with city officials.\n\nI quickly put together a slideshow featuring all the cement parks in eastern New York, which I had visited during a skate tour.

Unfortunately, that was four years ago.\n\nWestbrook has averaged a catch for every three rushing attempts in his career. Now 30 years old, he will turn 31 before the 2010 regular season begins. He is coming off a season limited to eight games and just 61 carries due to a knee injury and a concussion. Like Thomas Jones in Kansas City, Westbrook is forced to take a job on a team with an established running back. Such is life when you are a running back on the wrong side of 30.\n\nAlthough I rank him as my number six running back, Gore provokes some anxiety for me this year. He has not made it through a full season since those halcyon days of 2006. He was not consistently effective last year, recording 10 straight starts in the middle of the season where he exceeded 20 carries just once. Furthermore, his yards per carry average dropped below 4.0 if you remove three exceedingly long runs, two of which came in the same game. I have him ranked sixth because everyone after the top four running backs has flaws, and Gore is expected to hold a relatively unthreatened starting position in the 49ers' backfield, something not many rushers can claim these days.\n\nGore can still make that claim. Westbrook can still be explosive in bursts, averaging a respectable 4.5 yards per carry in his limited action last year, but there are real questions about whether his knee will hold up for a full season. The Westbrook signing seems to be a direct response to Glen Coffee's abrupt retirement, which to me means that San Francisco is trying to find another body who can contribute if and when Gore gets hurt. Westbrook fills that role, but I fear he is not much more than that. I am not changing my rank of Gore one bit on this news. He is still scary to me, but he is also still pretty clearly a number one fantasy back.\n\nThis is worse news for rookie rusher Anthony Dixon, who racked up 103 rushing yards and a touchdown on 21 carries Sunday against the Colts' reserves, but who does not offer much in the way of quickness or elusiveness. Whereas it seemed possible that Dixon would be an unquestioned second-stringer behind Gore once Coffee retired, now Dixon looks like a third-stringer, and perhaps a short-yardage option. His future is still intriguing because he is a powerful runner.

Eventually, World Elite fell behind in towers but remained even in gold until a critical moment shifted the balance. World Elite found themselves hard-pressed, looking to create opportunities that were slowly diminishing. When World Elite found excellent kill opportunities, an inhibitor trade went wrong, leaving LiveMore's standing with Shaco crushing through the inhibitor and one of the Nexus turrets. Despite this loss, World Elite managed to utilize their experience in the scene by pushing back into LiveMore's base as a solid team. This proved to be a more than opportune moment for Malphite to greet them at their doorstep with a fantastic ultimate that hit all five enemy team members.\n\nThe match versus Royal Club started at a snail's pace with nothing too extravagant happening at level one. However, a gank on the mid lane allowed Royal Club to pick up an early game advantage, followed shortly by a gank going bottom. Even 15 minutes into the game, the teams remained dead even with the gold distribution fairly strong for each side. This continued until a single misstep threw the lead heavily in Royal Club's favor. While fights went back and forth, World Elite would prove to scale worse in the end, and the global pressure of Royal Club became too high after exposing their base. An ace at the 38-minute mark allowed Royal Club to drive the game home.\n\nThe match versus Waiyi Spider was a showcase of talents in some very obscure champions, making for the perfect prelude before the last game of the night.

Bravery runs strong in China, with a well-prepared Pantheon ultimate from 'Leaf' causing havoc on Urgot in the early game, catching him off guard. However, the bane of all Pantheons was displayed as the game drifted into the midgame. Eventually, Pantheon began falling off in fights, and Positive Energy gained an astounding lead, being up 17-9 at 23 minutes. The lead proved too much, and Positive Energy crushed into Spider's base, making short work of their Nexus and taking the win.\n\nThe final game of the night featured OMG versus Invictus Gaming. Both teams decided to start the game off passively, favoring safety in the early jungle phase. An early first blood in the very beginning of the game, with the help of Volibear, allowed OMG to capitalize on an early 1-0 lead, making for a scary Zac in the early game. The bottom lane camp was brutal for Invictus Gaming, and Volibear, with the help of Zac, ripped them apart, starting 3-0 and pulling shockingly ahead of the dominant iG. The fight was not over yet, however, as Invictus Gaming persevered and found some kill opportunities of their own. But was it enough against the map and global advantage of OMG?\n\nThings became even darker and more grim for iG when Ahri started becoming a monster as well, gaining incredible assassination potential.

Nevertheless, the investment bank expects the rupee to depreciate by nearly 30 per cent to the 75-85 per dollar range by 2024.\n\nThe biggest pressure on the rupee might come from the Reserve Bank's monetary management. According to Morgan Stanley, the RBI will remain a buyer of dollars over the next few years to safeguard the rupee from external shocks, such as a sudden spike in crude prices or a rise in US interest rates, which could lead to a flight of capital from the country. This intervention will slow any aggressive rupee appreciation driven by capital inflows.\n\n\"India's import cover deteriorated significantly following the global financial crisis, and the RBI will need to gradually build up $100-150 billion of reserves to take the import cover back over 12 times,\" say Chetan Ahya and Ridham Desai of Morgan Stanley. \"Similarly, India's external coverage ratio at 2.26 times is also below the average of 4 times for emerging market economies, making a strong case for building forex reserves.\"\n\nHigh inflation will be another major challenge for the rupee, as it impacts the purchasing power of the currency relative to others.

Mayor Ras Baraka acknowledged a surge in killings, carjackings, and shootings that began around March 2015, but he noted that 80 percent of Newark's blocks did not experience a violent crime over the course of a year. He pointed out that most of the homicides in 2015 occurred in the city's south and west wards. Because robberies, which Baraka described as an \"entry-level\" crime, are typically committed by individuals aged 16 to 24, the city plans to hire a trained social worker for every 25 police officers added to the robbery task force. Baraka also announced that he had secured $1 million in grant funding for a crime reduction plan.\n\nAddressing unemployment remains a top priority. According to Baraka, while Newark has 40 or more anchor stores, only 18 percent of the jobs are held by Newark residents. He also highlighted that among the city's 50,000 college students, there is a \"woefully insufficient number\" of Newarkers. To address this, he praised initiatives like the Newark City of Learning Collaborative, which aims to increase the percentage of residents with college degrees from 17 to 25 percent by 2025. Baraka stated that he is authoring legislation to provide payroll tax abatements to businesses that employ more than 50 percent Newark residents. Additionally, he mentioned presenting a $1 billion comprehensive jobs plan to the president and presidential candidates, a proposal designed to create 17,000 jobs.\n\nThe mayor pledged to improve services for residents, stating, \"We have to respond to every resident even if we can't help them.\" He promised to make \"a very visible improvement\" in this area. Baraka also addressed the city's snow-plowing difficulties from the previous winter, admitting, \"I can't complain that we don't have snow trucks. I have to find a way to get some.\" He further pledged to enhance the response times of police and fire officials by overhauling the city's communications department.\n\nBaraka also shared his frustrations with Governor Chris Christie, the Republican presidential race, and the media. He criticized Donald Trump, asserting, \"there is no king!\" and referenced Christie's Bridgegate scandal by saying, \"This is Newark, not Fort Lee, and you can't just stop traffic here without repercussions.\" He blamed the media for creating a false perception of Newark, arguing that journalists often overlook positive stories, such as the success of Newark's public magnet schools on the PARCC exams, in favor of content that drives traffic. He also criticized coverage by The Star-Ledger and News 12 New Jersey, claiming that the media focuses on Newark's violence while ignoring its poverty.\n\nBaraka advocated for Newark to regain control of its schools, stating, \"Newark had more children in 'beating the odds' schools than many cities around the nation,\" including both district and charter schools. He noted that although the city has been blamed for the district's performance, it has not had control over the schools for 20 years. He mentioned that the governor provided Newark with $27 million to offset the expansion of charter schools and highlighted the creation of \"street academies\" for 16- to 24-year-olds who are neither in school nor employed.\n\nLooking toward the future, Baraka expressed his vision for Newark's downtown to become a \"24-hour community.\" He noted that the city has broken ground on a development featuring a Whole Foods, with nearly 1,000 units of residential space currently under construction downtown.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12251, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "2d76da38f6c49a58a224c08d9a94d895d4f9516d", "raw_chars": 1679, "clean_chars": 1692, "edit_ratio": 0.0656, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "By Samuel Burke & Lucky Gold, CNN\n\nIn the movie \"The Terminal,\" actor Tom Hanks plays a man who suddenly finds himself stateless when his country ceases to exist.

It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.\n\nThe story starts in London on Wednesday, 2 October 1872. Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement.\n\nAt the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000, half of his total fortune, from his fellow club members to complete such a journey within this time period.

While disembarking in Egypt, they are watched by a Scotland Yard detective, Detective Fix, who has been dispatched from London in search of a bank robber. Since Fogg fits the vague description Scotland Yard was given of the robber, Detective Fix mistakes Fogg for the criminal. Since he cannot secure a warrant in time, Fix boards the steamer (the Mongolia) conveying the travelers to Bombay. Fix becomes acquainted with Passepartout without revealing his purpose. Fogg promises the steamer engineer a large reward if he gets them to Bombay early. They dock two days ahead of schedule.\n\nAfter reaching India, they take a train from Bombay to Calcutta. Fogg learns that the Daily Telegraph article was wrong; a 50-mile stretch of track from Kholby to Allahabad has not yet been built. Fogg purchases an elephant, hires a guide, and starts toward Allahabad.\n\nThey come across a procession in which a young Indian woman, Aouda, is to undergo sati. Since she is drugged with opium and hemp and is obviously not going voluntarily, the travelers decide to rescue her. They follow the procession to the site, where Passepartout takes the place of Aouda's deceased husband on the funeral pyre. During the ceremony he rises from the pyre, scaring off the priests, and carries Aouda away. The twelve hours gained earlier are lost, but Fogg shows no regret.\n\nThe travelers hasten to catch the train at the next railway station, taking Aouda with them.

Citi Bike, named for its primary sponsor Citibank, was first announced by the Department of Transportation in 2010, with an expected launch in the spring of 2012. The launch was delayed by software problems and Hurricane Sandy, but two months ago, docking stations finally began appearing around Manhattan and Brooklyn. On Memorial Day, the bikes rolled out, offering rides to and from hundreds of locations.\n\nWe examined how the first few weeks of the program fared by tracking when the bikes appeared at different docks. After a Citi Bike is unlocked, either through a code or a key, it can be used for up to forty-five minutes before it must be redocked. Using live data provided by the Citi Bike website, it is possible to see how many bikes are checked into each station at any particular moment. Other Citi Bike trackers have used this data to develop insightful live views of the program or to follow it closely for a single day. We chose to take a long look, grabbing information at fifteen-minute intervals each day for a month, from June 8th through July 8th.\n\nPlotted on a time-lapse map, our data shows that Citi Bike is creating new ways to navigate the city. As more New Yorkers joined the program, commuting and recreational riding patterns appeared. Citi Bike is already influencing how people get to and from work. Because it is New York, there has also been speculation about how much of a premium bike-friendly real estate can command.\n\nHere are some highlights from the map: A commuting pattern first emerged in our data on Tuesday, June 11th, when bikers traveled to a central corridor that begins in midtown Manhattan and moves south through the Flatiron District down to the Financial District. The bikes arrived in this workplace area at around 9 A.M. and remained there until around 7 P.M. The next day, an evening commute shape materialized, with bikers moving toward certain residential neighborhoods like the East Village, the West Village, and Williamsburg. The pattern fell off somewhat on Thursday, but it returned the following week and thereafter grew increasingly distinct, with workdays attracting bikes to the center of the city.\n\nTemperatures and precipitation also influence bike use, so the map displays weather information alongside bike movement. For instance, the weaker commuting pattern on Thursday, June 13th, can be attributed in part to colder temperatures and over an inch of rain.\n\nIt is possible that the Citi Bike system may be too successful for its own good. As the program becomes a more popular method of commuting, the workday leaves some areas bereft of bikes, making it more difficult for those with reverse or off-hour commutes to participate in the program.

These actions are frequently driven by public pressure for tighter controls. Recent examples of campaigns advocating for stricter gun ownership regulations include the Brady Campaign, the Snowdrop Campaign, and the Million Mom March.\n\nWhile accident statistics can be difficult to obtain, substantial data exists regarding the relationship between gun ownership and gun-related deaths. The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) has conducted comparisons between countries with varying levels of gun ownership, investigating the correlation between gun ownership rates and both gun homicides and gun suicides.\n\nA strong correlation is evident in both categories. During the 1989 and 1992 International Crime Surveys, data on gun ownership were collected for eighteen countries. This data was cross-referenced with World Health Organization statistics on suicides and homicides committed using firearms and other means. A previous analysis based on fourteen countries surveyed during the first International Crime Survey, utilizing Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, suggested that gun ownership may increase suicides and homicides involving firearms, without necessarily reducing those committed with other means.\n\nIn a subsequent analysis, four additional countries covered only by the 1992 International Crime Survey were included, and Pearson's correlation coefficients were used. These results confirmed the findings of the earlier study. UNICRI also investigated whether high levels of gun ownership merely displaced other forms of homicide or suicide or if they added to them. The researchers reported that widespread gun ownership has not been found to reduce the likelihood of fatal events committed with other means. Consequently, the availability of more guns does not lead people to use knives or other potentially lethal instruments less frequently; rather, more guns usually result in more victims of suicide and homicide.\n\nSpeculating on the underlying causes, the researchers concluded that while the exact reasons remain unclear, there is good reason to suspect that guns play a fatal role in these events. The research indicated that guns were the primary cause of homicides in three of the fourteen countries studied: Northern Ireland, Italy, and the United States.\n\nAlthough the data suggest that reducing the availability of firearms leads to decreases in gun crimes, gun suicides, and overall crime and suicide rates, the author cautioned that reducing the number of privately owned guns may become a hopeless task beyond a certain point, citing the American example as evidence. In contrast to the 1993 study, a more recent 2001 study by UNICRI researchers examined the link between household gun ownership and overall homicide and suicide rates, as well as gun-specific homicide and suicide rates, across twenty-one countries. This study found significant correlations between household gun ownership and rates of gun suicides for both genders, as well as gun homicide rates involving female victims.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12278, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "cfdef9fd197a397279c6b9e5310f703771e753cc", "raw_chars": 1619, "clean_chars": 1770, "edit_ratio": 0.3868, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Less than 24 hours after suffering a double-overtime loss to Tennessee, Georgia Tech began preparations for its Saturday matchup against Jacksonville State at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Just 154 of the birds are alive today. Courtesy Te Papa\n\nThe lush vineyards of Martinborough, New Zealand, sit upon a thick crust of limestone. At one time, a few thousand years ago, the rocky landscape was entirely covered with thick native bush, and was home to countless reptiles and flightless birds, carousing and careening beneath the canopy, with nary a human in sight. The forest also concealed the limestone’s pits and troughs—presenting a fatal risk to clumsy or unwary kakapo or takahe. Thousands of these birds met their demise in one particular hidden limestone cave, known technically as a “pitfall trap.” Once they fell in, there was no way out without flight-functional wings. Over the last century, enthusiasts and scientists have collected fossils from as many as 1,000 individuals from this cave, making it the richest site in the whole country for avian and reptilian fossils.\n\nFrom the outside, the cave seems unspectacular, but no one knows quite how deep it goes. A deer hunter first stumbled across it in 1914, without imagining the vast paleontological treasures within. Beginning in 1920, regular expeditions have been made, with several tons of earth and bones excavated so far. Most recently, New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, sent vertebrate curator Alan Tennyson in as part of a digging party. It is thought that the first 1,000 skeletons barely scratch the surface. There could be thousands more.\n\nThe pit is located in the town of Martinborough in the Wairarapa. Courtesy Te Papa\n\nIn this last dig, so many samples were extracted that only about half have been sorted. So far, Tennyson has identified seven North Island takahe, 80 kakapo, 25 moa, 30 kiwi, 90 Finsch’s ducks, 11 weta, and 22 adzebills. The adzebills (a three-foot-tall, dodo-like bird) and moa were both hunted to extinction not long after the first Polynesian settlers arrived in the 13th century. Finsch’s duck, a flightless waterfowl that was at one time the most common duck in the country, seems to have gone extinct around 1870, again related to hunting, and human-introduced mammals. And of the five species of kiwi native to New Zealand, two are endangered, two vulnerable, and the last at risk. Just 154 kakapo, a cuddly flightless parrot, remain, and about 300 takahē, a flightless rail. (The weta, a large and horrible bug, is also endangered.)\n\nThese fossils suggest that these currently extinct, rare, or special birds were once unexceptional, even commonplace, in the region. For now, as scientists catalog their treasures, the cave continues to hide its true depths. “In the future,” Tennyson said, in a statement, “better technology might come along that helps us do a more systematic excavation and allows us to know how deep the pit goes.”", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12305, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4d22bd692b5ea1965bce5d639f1e1f32fa65df84", "raw_chars": 1272, "clean_chars": 1300, "edit_ratio": 0.2574, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "AimingToPlease, Often Miss\n\nThinking of adding anything here to represent Celestia?\n\nOh yes, and seriously, get yourself a unit of Thunderhammer Storm Shield Terminators.

SB 810, California’s single-payer legislation sponsored by State Senator Mark Leno, would eliminate the for-profit health insurance middlemen that are strangling the state’s economy and causing needless suffering and deaths by denying care. Under SB 810, private health insurance would be replaced by a public health insurance plan run by the state of California and paid for through taxes. Every California resident would be covered by the plan, which includes medical, dental, prescriptions, mental health, rehabilitation, diagnostics, and more. There would be no deductibles, co-pays, or exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Health care would continue to be provided by private doctors and hospitals; only the state government would be paying the bills. Patients would be able to choose any doctor they want, not be limited to providers within a health insurance-mandated network. No procedure would require pre-approval from government officials, nor would anyone’s care be denied. Your health care would truly be decided between you and your doctor, not between you, your doctor, and some faceless insurance bureaucrat with no medical expertise. Finally, SB 810 would save California billions of dollars by getting rid of the waste and inefficiency within the private health care industry and by focusing on preventative care. Moreover, Californians would have the freedom to easily change jobs and start new businesses without fear of losing their health insurance. This flowering entrepreneurialism would jumpstart the state’s flailing economy.

Hart called it a potter’s wheel, but it was really a turntable, firmly buffered against the slightest tremor from external sources. A carefully arranged family of absorbers isolated the table from everything except the variable motor seated beneath it. On the turntable sat an earthenware pot. It looked unremarkable to Brooks—just a dark red oxidized finish, a thick lip, and a rather crude handle, obviously molded on by a lesser artisan.\n\n“What’s its origin?” Brooks said, mostly to break the silence that lay between them.\n\n“Southern England,” Hart replied, logging instructions into the computer terminal nearby. Lights rippled across the staging board.\n\n“How close to the First Mil?”\n\n“Around 1280 A.D., apparently.”\n\n“Not really close, then. But interesting.”\n\n“Yeah.”\n\nBrooks stooped forward. When he peered closer, he could see that the smooth finish was an illusion. A thin thread ran around the pot, so fine the eye could scarcely make it out. The lines wound in a tight helix. In the center of each delicate line was a fine hint of blue. The jug had been incised with a precise point. Good; that was exactly what Hart had said he sought. It was an ancient, common mode of decoration—incise a seemingly infinite series of rings as the pot turned beneath the cutting tool. The cutting tip revealed a differently colored dye underneath, a technique called sgraffito, or the scratched.\n\nIt could never have occurred to the Islamic potters who invented sgraffito that they were, in fact, devising the first phonograph records.\n\nHart pressed a switch and the turntable began to spin. He watched it for a moment, squinting with concentration. Then he reached down to the side of the turntable housing and swung up the stylus manifold. It came up smoothly, and Hart locked it in just above the spinning red surface of the pot.\n\n“Not a particularly striking item, is it?” Brooks said conversationally.\n\n“No.”\n\n“Who made it?”\n\n“Near as I can determine, somebody in a co-operative of villages, barely Christian. Still used lots of pagan decorations. Got them scrambled up with the cross motif a lot.”\n\n“You’ve gotten . . . words?”\n\n“Oh, sure. In early English, even.”\n\n“I’m surprised crude craftsmen could do such delicate work.”\n\n“Luck, some of it. They probably used a pointed wire, a new technique that’d been imported around that time from Saxony.”\n\nThe computer board hooted a readiness call. Hart walked over to it, thumbed in instructions, and turned to watch the stylus whir in a millimeter closer to the spinning jug. “Damn,” Hart said, glancing at the board. “Correlator’s giving hash again.”\n\nHart stopped the stylus and worked at the board. Brooks turned nervously and paced, unsure of what his attitude should be toward Hart. Apparently the man had discovered something, but did that excuse his surliness? Brooks glanced out the window, where the last crowds were drifting away from the Vault dedication and strolling down the Mall. There was a reception for the Board of Regents in Georgetown in an hour.

Just a few weeks before the ceremony, I received a call informing me that I had been nominated for the Media Recognition Award. I was quite surprised, as my writing is not pure tourism propaganda; rather, I hope it serves as a rigorous evaluation of our city's urban sense of place within an international context.\n\nOver the years, I have compared Calgary to cities like Paris, Lyon, Frankfurt, Dubai, Perth, and Portland, sharing with readers the lessons to be learned from those places regarding how to enrich urban living in Calgary. It is only recently that I have perhaps focused more on Calgary from a tourist perspective.\n\nHowever, there is a strong link between tourism and urbanism. If you can make a city center an interesting place to live, I believe you will make it a great place to visit. Tourists are often attracted to cities that are vibrant places to live—Paris, New York, Chicago, Montreal, or San Francisco quickly come to mind.\n\nOne of the other things tourist cities have in common is that they possess iconic images that are instantly recognizable internationally, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, The Clouded Gate (The Bean), or the Golden Gate Bridge.\n\nIf Calgary wants to attract more tourists, it must develop several iconic images that become its postcard to the world, saying \"Come and visit.\" In fact, the last time I looked, it was hard to find good postcards of Calgary. Most of the time, if you go to a souvenir shop, you will find a bunch of outdated postcards of Calgary's skyline hidden amongst the Banff and Rocky Mountain postcards—even in Calgary souvenir shops.\n\nFortunately, I suspect postcards are going the way of the dodo bird. With digital cameras and smartphones, who needs postcards in the 21st century?\n\nWhile we may not need postcards anymore, we still must brand our city with several iconic images that \"shout out\" that Calgary is a fun place to visit. Currently, we probably have only one iconic image—the Calgary Stampede—and it only works for ten days of the year.\n\nHowever, there are several good candidates, and new ones are being created every year. I thought I would share a few with you, and then perhaps you can share your ideas so that together we can create Calgary's top ten iconic images.\n\nThe criteria for being an iconic image are:\n\n- Must be photo-friendly\n- Must be memorable\n- Must have mass appeal\n- Must be unique to Calgary\n- Must be timeless\n\nMy picks are:", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12323, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "21a9ec4ccb493d444a9e41ca87f154e3d14d24a9", "raw_chars": 3494, "clean_chars": 3496, "edit_ratio": 0.004, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Brooks had to keep reminding himself that this foul-tempered, scrawny man was reputed to be a genius. If Hart had not come with the highest of recommendations, Brooks would never have risked valuable Vault funding. Apparently, Hart’s new method for finding correlations in a noisy signal was a genuine achievement.\n\nThe basic idea was quite old, of course. In the 1960s, a scientist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York had applied a stylus to a rotating urn and played the signal through an audio pickup. Out came the wreeee sound of the original potter’s wheel where the urn was made. It had been a Roman urn, made in the era when hand-turned wheels were the best available. The Natural History “recording” was crude, but even that long ago they could pick out a moment when the potter’s hand slipped and the rhythm of the wreeee faltered.\n\nHart had read about that urn and seen the possibilities. He developed his new multiple-correlation analysis—a feat of programming, if nothing else—and began searching for pottery that might have acoustic detail in its surface. The sgraffito technique was the natural choice. Potters sometimes used fine wires to incise their wares. Conceivably, anything that moved the incising wire—passing footfalls, even the tiny acoustic push of sound waves—could leave its trace on the surface of the finished pot. Buried among imperfections and noise, eroded by the random bruises of history . . .\n\n“Got it,” Hart said, fatigue creeping into his voice.\n\n“Good. Good.”\n\n“Yeah. Listen.”\n\nThe stylus whirred forward. It gently nudged into the jug, near the lip. Hart flipped a switch and studied the rippling, dancing yellow lines on the oscilloscope board.

He’s using a foot pump.”\n\n“A kick wheel?”\n\n“Right.”\n\n“I thought they came later.”\n\n“No, the Arabs had them.”\n\nThere came a clop clop clop, getting louder. It sounded oddly disembodied in the silence of the long room.\n\n“What . . . ?”\n\n“Horse. I detected this two weeks ago. Checked it with the equestrian people. They say the horse is unshod, assuming we’re listening to it walk on dirt. Farm animal, probably. Plow puller.”\n\n“Ah.”\n\nThe hoofbeats faded. The whine of the kick wheel sang on. “Here it comes,” Hart whispered.\n\nBrooks shuffled slightly. The ranks upon ranks of ancient pottery behind him made him nervous, as though a vast unmoving audience were in the room with them.\n\nThin, distant: “Alf?”\n\n“Aye.” A gruff reply.\n\n“It slumps, sure.”\n\n“I be oct, man.” A rasping, impatient voice.\n\n“T’art—”\n\n“Busy—mark?”\n\n“Ah ha’ wearied o’ their laws,” the thin voice persisted.\n\n“Aye—so all.

Thank you is my very first comment, but if you will pardon my second, what kept you silent for ten long-suffering years for thousands, if not millions, of young women whose lives have been changed for the worse after receiving Gardasil?\n\nDr. Scott S. Field, MD, is the principal author of a \"stunning\" article of sorts in that it comes from a medical doctor, a member of the very profession that is pushing and demanding girls and boys take the HPV vaccines. If Dr. Field has become enlightened as to what has been going on for ten years regarding the HPV vaccines, my respectful suggestion is that he take a look into all the other vaccines because the very vaccine components he questions, such as polysorbate 80 (also known as Tween 80) and aluminum adjuvants, are also found in many other vaccines, as verified in the CDC's Pink Book \"Vaccine Excipient & Media Summary.\"\n\nDr. Field, while you are checking the biochemical reactions of vaccine ingredients, would you kindly check out L-histidine in both Gardasil and Gardasil 9? Oh, and how about the sodium borate, which is used as an insecticide?\n\nThe article states: \"Few other vaccines besides Gardasil that are administered in adolescence contain polysorbate 80. Pre-licensure safety trials for Gardasil used placebo that contained polysorbate 80 as well as aluminum adjuvant.\"\n\nDTap Infarix, by the way, given to infants contains aluminum adjuvant (Al hydroxide) and polysorbate 80! So do DTaP Kinrix (Al hydroxide), DTaP-HepB-IPN Pediarix (Al phosphate), DTaP Boostrix (Al hydroxide), Prevnar 13 (Al phosphate), and DTaP-IPV-Hib Pentacel (Al phosphate), all of which contain polysorbate 80.\n\nWill you please look into those vaccines, Dr. Field, as they are given to children?\n\nFor the record, both Gardasil and Gardasil 9 contain aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate and polysorbate 80.\n\nMedicine, especially the ACP, must demand to know why there is so much ADD, ADHD, and ASD occurring in children when those conditions were not on medicine's radar screen prior to the 1980s when vaccines took off like greased lightning.\n\nAnother rather foolhardy practice to research, while I am offering suggestions, is to investigate the engrained practice of giving nine vaccine actives during one \"well baby\" office visit.\n\nCan you please explain how an infant weighing less than 25 pounds is expected to handle nine disease organisms being introduced into the body at one time? How is an immune system to respond to such an overload? Short circuits? Nowhere in life and living, not even in the jungles, could a human being be exposed to nine different diseases at one time!\n\nStill, medicine and pharmacology demand that a baby, whose immune system is not fully developed until 2 or 3 years of age, gets exposed to nine diseases at once and is expected to build immunity.

He attended school in nearby Gainesville and spent four years at Florida, helping guide the team to a Final Four appearance in his senior year. He played well in his two games in Orlando at the Amway Center during that NCAA Tournament run.\n\nThat was college, though.

He played nine games to finish out the year, averaging 8.0 points and 2.3 assists per game.\n\nThat performance is clearly good enough to get Wilbekin another look in the league. Wilbekin was someone who helped settle down Florida's offense when he was finally given the reigns in 2014. He was very different from many other of Billy Donovan's point guards at Florida.\n\nHe also cut his teeth very much on the defensive end of the floor. That is where he made his living at Florida before being asked to take on more of an offensive role as a senior. That has translated into his professional career so far.\n\nAs noted, the Magic will have two Summer League teams this year.

There, they discovered the intact form of Vector Sigma, which reformatted the five into new forms, granting them enhanced powers and the ability to combine into Sky Reign, a combiner that utilized Sky Lynx's beastly strength. Over the next decade, the team used their abilities to rebuild Cybertron until it was inhabitable again, but the peace was shattered when Grand Galvatron attacked the planet in 2021. During the battle, Sky Lynx fought Roller to stop him from destroying the body of Optimus Prime, then combined with the others to battle Grand Galvatron directly.\n\nAfter Sky Reign was separated into his components by Megaempress, Sky Lynx was exposed to Moonheart's healing pheromones and fell asleep. Later, when Unicron attacked Cybertron, the team helped defeat him in the form of Sky Reign. The Disaster Relief Team later set up a musical in which Sky Lynx played an evil dragon who kidnapped a princess. They were later deployed to the Legends World to help rebuild Akihabara after it was wrecked by Trypticon. When this other world was attacked by Majin Zarak, Sky Lynx helped defend it as part of the \"2010 Team\".

As such, he did not hesitate to fly to his aid when the latter called upon him to join the Autobots on Earth. There, Grimlock's less than stellar performance as Autobot leader threatened to doom them all, as the uncouth Dinobot was overly obsessed with catching the rogue Autobot, Blaster. Upon the venerable Sky Lynx's arrival, Wheeljack requested that he put his considerable skills on temporary hold. Before too long, thankfully, Sky Lynx was at last called into action. After Grimlock tossed some juvenile humanoids out the airlock of the Ark into space for \"conspiring\" with Blaster, Sky Lynx, with utmost aplomb, rescued them, and put to use his finest displays of agility evading those mongrel Dinobots.

Indispensable as ever, Sky Lynx carried a complement of Autobots and Decepticons over the ocean to make an attack on Galvatron's submerged base, the Nemesis. Tragically, Sky Lynx fell victim to the energies of the Enigma of Combination, turning him into the torso of Sky Reign, though he remained as strikingly handsome as ever. He reverted to normal after Superion loutishly tampered with the Enigma and nullified its effects.\n\nSky Lynx helped mop up the Decepticons left behind after Galvatron's cowardly absconsion, but found themselves having to deal with the bothersome forces of the EDC, now under the command of the brutish Joe Colton. Some months later, Sky Lynx and some of his comrades were on Cybertron to assist in relief efforts in the wake of Bruticus's rampage.\n\nIn the wake of the \"Revolution\" incident, Sky Lynx remained on Earth as Optimus Prime and the Autobots maintained the peace. He ferried Optimus Prime and some Autobots to a meeting with the wretched Junkions on the Matterhorn, then took the group back to Autobot City, where he was bothered by a group of utterly childish Autobot recruits demanding to know more about the new arrivals. Sky Lynx later attended a meeting between Optimus Prime and some dignitaries, which would have been impossible to arrange had it not been for his impeccable presence on the deck of Metrotitan.

The two can then combine into a super robot with the legs of a lynx and the upper body of a prehistoric bird. The crawler-transporter section has a battery-powered motor that rolls him along in transporter shuttle mode and activates a slow, ungainly walking action in lynx or lower-body mode. The shuttle also has an opening \"cargo bay\", though there is no room to store anything in it. Even though it fails to capture his magnificence fully, it is still the apex of toy technology.\n\nUnlikely as it may seem that anything could improve upon the perfection of this design, there were two different versions of this toy, released a year apart. On the first version, the rear thruster panel was connected to the body by a basic hinged piece. The second release modified this hinge so the panel could extend out from the body slightly, allowing a little more room for opening the panel and extending the tail.\n\nUnusually for a toy of his size, he has no other accessories packaged with him. But then again, why add to something that is already perfect?\n\nAlong with Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx was licensed from a company called Toybox.

Before the Great Depression, during the 1920s, government spending at all levels accounted for around 15% of personal income. Today, that figure is close to 50%. While government spending did increase significantly under FDR, the key point is that it started from virtually nothing. The question is, what happens when you hit a depression with government spending already exceeding one-third of GDP?\n\nWe are facing a situation where a massive economic entity is about to see its income drop precipitously as tax revenues plummet. Whether through spending cuts or inflationary money printing, future real government contributions to the economy will inevitably have to decline. It is easy to forget, but the government does not actually produce anything. Whatever money it spends comes from the present, the future, or by inflating the currency, but in any case, it creates a deficit that must eventually be addressed. Due to the significant delay between the onset of a downturn and the impact of government spending, this issue will take time to unfold, representing a massive overhanging problem that has yet to fully materialize.\n\nWhat concerns me most about this is that one of the tenets of control theory is that a strong feedback loop with a large delay in any system is a recipe for instability. This is precisely what we have when the government becomes such a dominant factor in the economy. Of course, an economy is not a model system and could never experience runaway instability like a linear circuit might. However, if there are forces pushing it toward instability, I would argue the result may not be exponentially growing oscillations, but it certainly will not be good. Humans do not like unstable systems, especially when their money is involved, and rather than endure oscillations, I suspect the economy would simply fall and stay down.\n\nWhy hasn't this happened before? One likely possibility is that I am completely out of my mind for applying principles of control theory to the national economy. Another possibility is that we have simply never tied such a large feedback loop around our economy before. The last time we had a credit dislocation, perhaps the government was small enough that these oscillations were damped. But the gain is much higher now, and I am a little nervous to see what happens now that the system has been given a significant kick.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12383, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d5d180a144cd0ef9fc214302b9c1b990cdb1c047", "raw_chars": 3224, "clean_chars": 3302, "edit_ratio": 0.6586, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On September 21, 2010, Dr. Muhamad Tareq Al-Darraji, President of the Conservation Centre of Environment and Reserves in Fallujah (CCERF) and Director of the Monitoring Net of Human Rights in Iraq (MHRI), stated that it is the people of Fallujah's cherished right to hold the international community accountable. He emphasized that the international community now has both the mandate and moral responsibility to initiate proceedings to prosecute and hold accountable all those responsible for the suffering endured throughout the occupation period, which continues to the present day, and to seek full restitution and compensation commensurate with that pain.\n\nDespite the official \"end of combat operations,\" American forces intervened with ground troops and air support in three separate incidents across different parts of Iraq. According to U.S. and Iraqi military accounts, these interventions occurred when Iraqi counterparts were \"threatened by suicide attackers or well-armed gunmen.\" One of these incidents took place in Fallujah on Wednesday, September 15, 2010, following the official withdrawal of U.S. troops. During this raid, seven civilians were killed and four were injured.\n\nThe victims of this raid were Humadi Jassim Ahmed, an elderly man; his son Manzel Humadi Jassim Ahmed; his grandson Sameer Humadi Jassim Ahmed; his grandson Sadiek Humadi Jassim Ahmed; Abid Swissan Ahmed, an elderly man; his son Yassein Abid Swissan Ahmed; and Yassein Kassar Saad, a former Iraqi army officer. The injured civilians included Omar Humadi Jassim, Ibrahim Abid Kassar, Hathima Jassim, who was 85 years old, and Ahmed Humadi Jassim.\n\nThese names were added to the endless list of victims of U.S. aggression against this troubled city, and the community vowed that they would never be forgotten. The raid raised tensions and angered the city's inhabitants. On September 16, the city declared a three-day period of mourning. Schools, offices, and shops were closed in Fallujah on Thursday in protest against the attack. The attack was also strongly condemned by provincial officials in Anbar, of which Ramadi is the capital.\n\nU.S. and Iraqi officials claimed that the raid killed a former Iraqi officer linked to al-Qaeda in the country. However, this claim could not be substantiated, and eyewitnesses and local officials stated that all the dead and injured were civilians. The officials in Anbar asked Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for an independent investigation of the raid, according to Mohammed Fathi, the governor's advisor.\n\nIn 2003, after the fall of Baghdad following the U.S.-led invasion, Fallujah remained calm. Contrary to what happened elsewhere in the country, there was no looting. However, the policy pursued by the U.S. and the UK, characterized by the indiscriminate killing of civilians and collective punishment, generated resistance throughout the area. In an effort to eradicate the resistance in and around Fallujah, invading forces attacked the city. The crimes committed during these attacks are the subject of a new report by the Monitoring Net for Human Rights in Iraq (MHRI) titled \"Testimonies of Crimes Against Humanity in Fallujah: Towards a Fair International Criminal Trial,\" which was presented at the 15th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12408, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "a97378a1de02d3e408aaba740f3e940e17ee88dc", "raw_chars": 1042, "clean_chars": 1007, "edit_ratio": 0.2113, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Greens leader Richard Di Natale has proposed a direct levy on coal miners to fund billions of dollars in environmental rehabilitation work on former coal mine and storage sites, as well as the retraining of coal industry workers for clean energy jobs of the future.\n\nIn one of its most important policy markers leading into the pre-election period for a 2016 poll, Dr Di Natale will unveil the plan on Tuesday and use an address to the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday to flesh out the details.\n\nMine site rehabilitation is extremely expensive.

Before Garner’s death, I had never heard of Tompkinsville, the Staten Island neighborhood where Garner regularly hung out, near the busy intersection of Victory Boulevard and Bay Street.\n\nThis was Garner’s spot. He played checkers and chess there, bought kids ice cream, earned the reputation of a “peacemaker” among his peers, and, yes, routinely sold untaxed “loose” cigarettes.\n\nThis was also the spot where Eric Garner died.\n\nOver the past year, despite the substantial media attention devoted to Garner’s death and the subsequent grand jury inquiry into the responsibility for his death, I didn’t hear or read much about Tompkinsville.\n\nThe lack of attention to the neighborhood in which Garner lived and died is strange given that the NYPD’s initial encounter with Garner was ostensibly motivated by the Broken Windows theory of crime causation. According to the theory, “disorder” in any given neighborhood, if “left unchecked,” will result in ever greater levels of disorder, which, in turn, will ultimately result in higher rates of serious crime. This is the justification for approaching and penalizing people like Garner who are engaged in non-violent misdemeanors.\n\nBased on my own research in Jersey City, New Jersey (approximately six miles, as the crow flies, from Tompkinsville), I’ve come to the conclusion that Broken Windows is more of a slogan than a theory and, when it comes down to it, morally and empirically wrong. As I wrote at City Limits:\n\nThe question that begs addressing is why the police or anyone else should ever aggressively police the likes of people who not only are “down and out,” but are doing nothing to directly harm others? Why create a situation of humiliation, tension, and hostility—the very kind of situation that led to Garner’s death—unless it is truly necessary? If only in one in a thousand instances, the circumstances are such that in such degrading and antagonistic encounters they result in death or serious injury, is that not one time too many? Or if all that results is humiliation and hostility, don’t these costs alone outweigh whatever benefits might conceivably come from cracking down on offenses like selling loosies?\n\nIn the three years of ethnographic work I did in Jersey City, I saw plenty of disorder, but this didn’t translate into serious crime:\n\nMuch as many people may not like who or what they see in the square, it is undoubtedly a safe space. I know this from experience and it is also borne out in the city’s official crime statistics.\n\nOf course, one case doesn’t definitively show that high disorder never leads to high crime, but it does suggest that it doesn’t necessarily do so. In any case, there has been no definitive science supporting the Broken Windows theory.\n\nOn the same logic, the case of Tompkinsville further undermines the theory that disorder leads to serious crime. According to official data, rates of serious crime in and around Tompkinsville have long been relatively low, even during the years when the NYPD was not employing the Broken Windows strategy. This suggests that, however “disorderly” Tompkinsville may have been at times, the recent implementation of Broken Windows was, and remains, a solution in search of a problem.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12400, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "70cf967834f530dcf4b00d86146a15f8bc176e8b", "raw_chars": 3117, "clean_chars": 3096, "edit_ratio": 0.0208, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Also notable is that the Leaf would require a special charging dock, which costs around $2,200, though a federal tax credit will cover half of that. The Volt, however, can be plugged into a standard outlet.\n\nOf course, the Leaf can boast zero tailpipe emissions, but the Volt cannot.\n\nStill, Affordability Matters\n\nThe Leaf will be available in some markets as soon as December, around the same time the Volt will hit the streets. At that time, the U.S. economy is still expected to have relatively high unemployment, and consumers will probably remain apprehensive about spending a lot on a new vehicle. So the Leaf's cheaper price tag could go a long way in giving Nissan a distinct advantage.\n\nThink about the monthly payment for each. At the after-rebate prices listed above, with a 5-year loan and a 6% interest rate, the Volt would cost $628 per month. The Leaf's payment would be just $500, including the charging station. The Leaf also goes further on one battery charge, so its energy costs would likely be cheaper, since Volt owners would have to rely on gas whenever they drive more than 40 miles.\n\nLeaf vs. Corolla\n\nWhen the Volt news broke back in August, I explained why that price was still too high to be affordable for most Americans, even if you figure in the fuel cost savings. Let's do a similar analysis for the Leaf, compared to a Corolla. According to Nissan, the Leaf would get around 100 miles per charge, which should cost \"less than $3.\" Since that's also about the current price of gas, we just need to consider the Corolla's gas mileage, about 30.5 mpg (the average of its city and highway rates), and its $15,450 price.\n\nUnder those assumptions, and including the after-rebate charging station cost, the Leaf's break-even compared to the Corolla for total price, including power, comes after driving around 155,000 miles. For the Volt, that jumps to around 200,000 miles, given its reported 230 mpg estimate and assumed price of around $32,500 after rebate. Of course, both those estimates assume that gas doesn't increase in price more than electric power, which may or may not be true. If that happens, then fewer miles would need to be driven to make their purchases more cost-effective.\n\nSo for consumers who can stomach the 100-mile limit between charges, I think the Leaf should do quite well. Of course, wealthier Americans looking for a green vehicle might be willing to pay a higher price tag for the convenience that the Volt will provide through its hybrid flavor.\n\nFor the record: Nissan has been running a prominent ad for LEAF on this site.\n\nAnother note: I added the word \"tailpipe\" here after receiving a few e-mails from readers who find this distinction important. Of course, the process for creating electricity for homes involves emissions, but the vehicle itself does not create emissions by burning gasoline. I never meant to suggest otherwise, but thought this fact was already generally understood. Sorry for any confusion.\n\nWe want to hear what you think about this article.

The film was called Sticks of Death, and all of the fighting was based on the Filipino martial art of Arnis. I believe it starred Roland Dantes. It was a really good movie. I am very thankful to Nilalang because it has opened many doors not only for me but also for my production house. It allows us the opportunity to make these kinds of movies again. After production wrapped on Nilalang, we were able to set up offices in Vietnam and also in Hong Kong. We are also in talks to open an office in Los Angeles.\n\nIt is funny, but for some reason, there are so many rich people in Vietnam. They really want to produce films and seem to like the idea of having Vietnamese names attached as executive producers, which I do not mind. We are now thinking of working with two people in Vietnam. For Breach, we are trying to raise between five and six million dollars. I have already raised about 1.5 million of that locally in escrow, and we are meeting with producers in Los Angeles who will help to finance the film through our Hong Kong office, which will be great. In that way, Nilalang was kind of like a trial or an experiment, but it was one that really paid off. What we did there cinematographically, in production design, and in action, now if we double our budget, we can really make a film that looks like a Hollywood movie. Of course, the thing I am most excited about is what we will be able to do with the action scenes with a much higher budget.\n\nIt is interesting that Vietnam wants to get involved with the Filipino action movie industry. How did that come about? Well, there are currently a lot of Vietnamese working in Vietnam who did not grow up there. They were raised in places like the United States and Australia, and now they are in Vietnam looking for ways to invest the money they made overseas. So there is a lot of interest in these action movies that could appeal to overseas markets. What is most interesting is that once the industry people there realized I was the director of Nilalang, all they could talk about was whether I could bring Maria Ozawa to Vietnam. It is a communist country, but actually Vietnam is the number one Asian country for Google searches of her name, which is so interesting. She has a huge following there, despite the internet being regulated. So while she is not that well known in the United States, she is certainly very big in Asia.\n\nSo at some point I would like to do a film in Vietnam. There are a lot of talented fight guys based there, and I have always thought it would be an awesome place to do a car chase scene with all of those scooters that they have all over the roads there. So hopefully after Breach, we can continue making regional films, ones which have both American, local, and casts from other countries involved so that Filipino cinema can get back on the map again. After Nilalang and Breach, I will be signed with Viva, so I can do the films with them, and our production company Black Ops can also co-produce.\n\nI heard that before Breach starts filming, you have one more movie you plan to film? Yes! It is a very local micro-budget found footage horror film, in the style of a slasher which I love.

To repeat, Clinton and Obama knew it was a terrorist attack but tried to deceive the country, including the families of the dead, into believing our heroes had been killed by a spontaneous response to a video. The lies about \"an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with\" were dictated by the bipartisan Beltway policy of Islamist empowerment that Obama and Clinton championed. Indeed, at the time it occurred, the terrorist attack was just the latest in a series of jihadist threats and strikes in Benghazi. The policy of strategically and materially supporting Islamists made such attacks inevitable.\n\nBut it was election season. Obama and Clinton needed camouflage for the catastrophic failure of their policy. Thus came Clinton's fustian about \"an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.\" In point of fact, Clinton and Obama had everything to do with the anti-Islamic video trailer, Innocence of Muslims. Virtually no one would have known of it had they not tirelessly publicized it in the international media and in official American government statements that were studiously linked to the Benghazi massacre. In reality, though, it was the video that had nothing to do with the rage and violence directed at Americans, first in Egypt, then Libya, then beyond.\n\nThe violence at the U.S. embassy in Cairo had been threatened for months by al-Qaeda operatives and was clearly planned to erupt on the eleventh anniversary of the terror network's 9/11 atrocities. The jihadists had been empowered by both the overthrow of the Qaddafi regime in Libya, orchestrated by Obama and Clinton, and the Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Egypt, championed by Obama and Clinton. In the weeks before September 11, 2012, al-Qaeda saber-rattled about a potential Tehran 1979-style attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo. Perhaps they would burn it to the ground, or perhaps they would take hostages to trade for American concessions like the release of the Blind Sheikh, who was imprisoned for terrorism convictions in the U.S.\n\nAdministration officials knew there would be trouble on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11. They also knew that, if the trouble was perceived as the foreseeable fallout of their Islamist empowerment policy, it could mortally damage Obama's 2012 reelection bid and Clinton's 2016 election ambitions. So the administration swung into action. The obscure video trailer had been condemned by a fiery mufti in Egypt. Word of it began to circulate, but almost no one had seen it. Though in some small circles it was added to the endless list of Islamist grievances against America, those grievances are ideologically driven, and Islamist ideology is incorrigibly anti-American, regardless of what pretexts are cited for acting on it.\n\nSo Clinton's opportunistic underlings pounced, seeing the video as their chance to shape a fraudulent narrative. As Muslims, including al-Qaeda operatives, began menacing the Cairo embassy, the State Department put out a series of tweets, a transparent effort to spin the inevitable rioting as incited by the video, not enabled by the administration's own promotion of Islamic supremacists.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12424, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "40bf97a320b361153c57a541716e314dde75abeb", "raw_chars": 3413, "clean_chars": 3449, "edit_ratio": 0.7662, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Gilnaure asked about a wardrobe issue where items colored in Sunset Orange do not appear in the wardrobe unless the Sunset Orange filter is specifically selected, and inquired if this would be fixed.\n\nRegarding cosmetic changes, Skogarfrost asked if players could have access to more quivers, specifically requesting all the quivers currently visible in-game, such as those from Dunland, Rohan, Ithilien, Gondor, and the Rangers.

According to FactCheck.org, the uranium deal claim derives from the book “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” written by Peter Schweizer, a former fellow at a conservative think tank.

One such model is the online marketplace, an entirely new business category that was not feasible at scale before the advent of the Internet.\n\nDuring the first dot-com era, marketplaces were all the rage, with eBay leading the charge. By the end of that period, 99 percent of B2B marketplaces had collapsed, leaving only the B2C-focused eBay standing and thriving. The prevailing consensus at the time was that B2B marketplaces were too difficult to build—arguably more of a software business than a liquidity-driven one—and that B2C marketplaces could not overcome the massive momentum of eBay's network effect. Consequently, investment dried up, and entrepreneurs shifted their focus to other categories.\n\nIt turns out that network effects can be broken. In the mid-2000s, Amazon and StubHub successfully challenged eBay. Today, companies like Airbnb, oDesk, and various second-hand fashion marketplace startups demonstrate that there are numerous untapped verticals where horizontal product platforms cannot serve effectively, or where consumers simply prefer a more tailored brand.\n\nYet, even as e-tail businesses became a hot investment thesis roughly 18 months ago, a significant number of successful venture capitalists continued to hold back from the category. They believed that e-tail did not benefit from increasing returns to scale or barriers to entry due to a lack of network effects. For many e-commerce verticals, the only way to capture the attention of top-tier VCs was to build a marketplace rather than a traditional e-commerce storefront.\n\nHowever, one of the major problems for many network-effect-driven businesses is the \"empty chat room\" conundrum. Like a chemical reaction, a certain amount of activation energy—also known as liquidity—must exist within the value network for the virtuous adoption cycle to take place. With marketplaces, entrepreneurs must worry not only about building supply and demand but also ensuring that they exist simultaneously. As a result, marketplaces are geometrically harder to generate traction. As a rule of thumb, it is ten times harder for a marketplace to generate its first $1 million in transactional value than for a traditional e-commerce store.\n\nHere are eight common strategies employed by successful marketplaces that can increase your chances of building liquidity:\n\n1. Start with aggregating scarce and in-demand inventory\n\nIn markets where demand outstrips supply, such as collectibles, antiques, and vintage luxury products, the two-sided marketplace problem can usually be solved by focusing on the supply side first. Typically, demand and buyers can be attracted once supply liquidity has been achieved through a combination of word of mouth and search engine optimization. eBay did a great job by building its initial marketplace around the collectibles category before expanding further.\n\n2.

Prosecutors stated that Silk Road generated upwards of $200 million in illicit drug sales over more than two years of operation before authorities shut it down in October 2013.

Every school pupil in England is to be taught that domestic violence against women and girls is unacceptable, as part of a new government strategy. Under the plans, from 2011 children will be taught from the age of five how to prevent violent relationships. Next year, two helplines will be set up to deal with sexual violence and stalking and harassment. The charity Refuge has welcomed the move, but parents' groups have questioned the government's interference. More than £13 million is being provided to help support male and female victims of sexual and domestic violence through a range of actions by the police, local authorities, the NHS, and the government.\n\nMargaret Morrissey of the Parents Outloud campaign group criticized the initiative, stating, \"This political correctness is turning our children into confused mini-adults from the age of five to nine.\" She argued that schools should focus on teaching children to read and write rather than addressing these issues.\n\nThe new measures include making lessons in gender equality and preventing violence in relationships compulsory in the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education curriculum starting from 2011. Before qualifying, trainee teachers will have to learn about teaching gender awareness and domestic violence. Schools minister Vernon Coaker said lessons would be age-appropriate. The issue of domestic violence will be dealt with in the sex and relationships element of PSHE lessons. The focus in primary schools is on developing positive relationships, naming body parts, understanding appropriate intimacy, and puberty. The aim is to prepare young people for mature and unembarrassed discussion when they are older.\n\n\"The appropriateness of what you do with someone who is five years old is totally different in terms of content and how you will be taught to someone who is 15 or 16,\" Coaker said. Younger children could be taught to prevent bullying and learn how names could hurt people. However, critics have accused the government of interfering in how parents bring up their children.\n\nRecent research by the children's charity NSPCC found that one in four girls, some as young as 13, had been slapped or hit by their boyfriends. It also found that one in nine had been beaten up, hit by objects, or strangled. Christine Barter, NSPCC senior research fellow at Bristol University, said it was a significant problem that had not been addressed. She suggested the problem arose from teenage girls' \"unequal power relationships\" with boyfriends, a feature of violent adult relationships too.

Firefox 3.6.2 was originally scheduled to launch at the end of March but is now available for download from the Mozilla website. The security hole prompted the German government to issue a warning about Firefox 3.6. The Federal Office for Information Security had made a similar ruling regarding the safety of Internet Explorer in January. It warned that the Firefox vulnerability, confirmed by Mozilla, could allow hackers to run malicious programs on users' computers. Germany's official cyber-security response team, BurgerCERT, recommended that users stop using Firefox until the tested fix was released. This move was remarkably similar to the January announcement, in which France followed suit just days later.\n\nThe original Firefox vulnerability was confirmed by Mozilla last week on its security blog, where it promised that the next official release would address the issue. Only the current version is affected, but given that prior releases have different vulnerabilities, reverting to an older version of the browser is ill-advised. Switching to a different browser may not be a good solution either, according to Graham Cluley, senior technologist at security firm Sophos. \"Switching your web browser willy-nilly as each new unpatched security hole is revealed could cause more problems than it's worth,\" he said. \"What are you going to do when your replacement browser itself turns out to contain a vulnerability? My advice is to only switch from Firefox if you really know what you are doing with the browser you're swapping to. If you stick with Firefox, apply the security update as soon as it's available.\"\n\nA Mozilla spokesperson said, \"Last week we informed our users that the upcoming security release of Firefox 3.6.2 would include a fix for an exploit that was disclosed to us just over a week ago.

It further alleges that Europeans have surrendered to Jewish influence, adopting Jewish programs and hatred of Christ. The passage also criticizes a \"mania for cleanliness\" and plumbing, blaming Jews for poisoning the spirit of European humanity and leading it to worship the \"idol of culture\" instead of true faith.\n\nThe second section discusses the role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in fostering religious nationalism and anti-Semitism.

Velimirovic received a civil decoration from Adolf Hitler. The report also notes the Church's close links to the anti-Semitic ultra-right nationalist youth group Obraz and its counter-intelligence service, KOS.

For example, the Muslim-majority city of Novi Pazar is often absent from national weather maps, which instead refer to the medieval Serbian settlement of \"Ras.\" In this emerging \"theodemocracy,\" where the Byzantine ideal of symphonia between religion and state is a nationalist axiom, Jews and Muslims face true invisibility, and non-Orthodox Christians are treated with derision.

Routinely, Muslims held in concentration camps reported being forced by their captors to sing Chetnik songs or make the sign of the cross. Suggestions that Muslims convert to Serbian Orthodoxy were viewed as yet another means to eliminate the Muslim presence. Almost from the beginning, the Serb-led war was accompanied by an assault against Muslim religious and cultural traditions, an assault whose impact has become clear as scholars examine the pattern of destruction. Muslim clergymen were dispersed, imprisoned, or killed, according to various Muslim sources. National libraries and religious seminaries were destroyed, and Bosnian scholars estimate that well over half of the mosques, historical monuments, and libraries comprising a six-century-old religious and cultural heritage have been wiped out.\n\nThe film was shown in which the notorious Scorpions were seen killing children after having first been blessed by Father Gavrilo. A Serbian Orthodox bishop, blacklisted by the EU for allegedly supporting war criminals, denied on Thursday that he had sheltered top UN court fugitives Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, although he claimed the men were heroes. During the 1992-95 war, Bishop Filaret appeared in front of TV cameras with a skull in one hand and a machine gun in the other. Carla del Ponte, the Hague War Crimes Tribunal Chief Prosecutor, accused the Church of involvement in politics and hiding those indicted of war crimes. The old Balkan pattern of clerically-inspired political violence has once again emerged in recent years: first come the priests, and then the cannons.\n\nThe symbols appeared in the three-fingered hand gestures representing the Christian trinity, in the images of sacred figures of Serbian religious mythology on their uniform insignia, in the songs they memorized and forced their victims to sing, on the priest's ring they kissed before and after their acts of persecution, and in the formal religious ceremonies that marked the purification of a town of its Muslim population. The term 'ethnic' in the expression 'ethnic cleansing', then, is a euphemism for 'religious'.\n\nA succession of academic studies has meticulously documented the wartime activities of the Christian clergy, and particularly the bishops who proudly sat in the front row of the rebel Serbian 'parliament' whenever it assembled in its pirate capital of Pale.

Just as Christ will only return again on earth as a vengeful judge when the Jews have been made to suffer sufficiently for their treachery, so also the punishment of Muslims will atone mysteriously for the death of Lazar, ushering in a Serb millennium. Hence the recurrent popularity of paintings of Lazar’s 'last supper', surrounded by his entourage, including the scheming traitor Branković, whose face already seems as Muslim as the face of Judas was in traditional Christian painting, Jewish. The nose is hooked, the skin brown, the eyes glint with a scheming avariciousness.\n\nIn this mythic version of Serbia’s past, the Balkan Muslims become essential symbols of treachery. Like Branković, they betrayed Christ; they are hence the devil’s seed, whose only just fate must be humiliation or death. They converted to Islam, thus being treasonable to God Incarnate, only out of cowardice and greed. They were a pollutant of the Serbian nation, which is perceived as inherently, irreducibly Christian.\n\nThis poisonous 19th-century mythmaking was not, as is sometimes thought, a simple evolution of older Serbian epic tradition. During most of the Ottoman centuries, Serbs had lived peacefully and loyally under Ottoman caliphal rule, conscious, no doubt, that the Ottomans were an effective guard against the crusading warriors of Western Catholicism. In fact, the Serbian people’s survival as a religious community would have been unlikely but for the Ottoman protective umbrella. Instead, the authors of this mythology, many of whom were the agents of Russian imperial designs on the Ottoman lands, borrowed from German Romanticism, in particular from mischief-makers such as Herder, who were seeking to create a unifying national myth out of carefully selected folk songs and epics. But if Serbian nationalism is, historically speaking, not very Serbian, the anti-Muslim core, the sublimating anti-Semitism, was nothing new. The poem which is generally recognised as the national epic of Serbdom, and which stands at the beginning of the romantic creation of 'Serb identity', draws on ancient, violently Islamophobic sentiments. This poem is the Mountain Wreath by Bishop Njegos of Montenegro, who died in 1851. It is a chanson de geste, which celebrates another bishop, Danilo, who in the early 18th century eliminated Islam from Montenegro – the so-called Christmas Eve Massacre.\n\nThe Mountain Wreath is interesting in several ways. Not least is the way in which the bishop portrays the Muslims, who plead for coexistence. One of them, for instance, says:\n\nSmall enough is this our land,\nYet two faiths there still may be\nAs in one bowl soups may agree\nLet us still as brothers live.\n\nRepeatedly the Muslims are shown as advocates of coexistence; but in the poem, this is simply a satanic temptation, the smile of Judas, which the bishop finally overcomes.\n\nSo he replies: 'Our land is foul; it reeks of this false religion'. And, following his command:\n\nNo single seeing eye, no Muslim tongue,\nescaped to tell his tale another day.\nWe put them all unto the sword\nAll those who would not be baptised.\nBut who paid homage to the Holy Child,\nwere all baptised with sign of Christian cross.\nAnd as brother each was hail’d and greeted.\nWe put to fire the Muslim houses,", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12482, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "616e82e1f650917d6ff19177a7e7c7063f378257", "raw_chars": 2928, "clean_chars": 2812, "edit_ratio": 0.0213, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "During Elvis Presley's Army career, he met Priscilla on September 13, 1959, at a party at his home in Bad Nauheim, Germany.

By the end of the evening, however, he managed to compose himself.\n\nPriscilla's parents were upset by her late return home the night of that first meeting and insisted that she never see Elvis again. But his eagerness for another rendezvous and his promise never to bring her home late again led them to relent. Thereafter, he and Priscilla were frequently together until his departure from West Germany in March 1960. After Elvis left, Priscilla was inundated with requests for interviews from media outlets around the world. She received fan mail from Elvis fans, some nice and some not so nice, as well as mail from \"lonesome G.I.s\". With gossip-magazine rumors swirling about his relationship with Nancy Sinatra, Priscilla became convinced that her romance with Elvis was over and she would never see him again.\n\nAfter Elvis's return to the US, she managed to stay in touch with him by phone, though they would not see each other again until the summer of 1962, when Priscilla's parents agreed to let her visit for two weeks. They allowed her to go on the condition that Elvis pay for a first-class round trip and arrange for her to be chaperoned at all times, and that she write home every day. Elvis agreed to all these demands, and Priscilla flew to Los Angeles. Elvis told her they were going to Las Vegas, and to throw her parents off the scent, he had Priscilla pre-write a postcard for every day they'd be away — to be mailed from Los Angeles by a member of his staff.\n\nIt was during this visit, while on a trip to Las Vegas, that Priscilla first took amphetamines and sleeping pills to keep up with Elvis's lifestyle. After another visit at Christmas, Priscilla's parents finally let her move to Memphis for good in March 1963. Part of the agreement was that she would attend an all-girls Catholic school, the Immaculate Conception High School in Memphis, Tennessee, and live with Elvis's father and his stepmother in a separate house a few streets away from the Graceland mansion, on Hermitage Drive 3650, until she graduated from high school in June 1963. Part of the agreement also was that they would eventually marry. However, according to her own book \"Elvis and Me\", she \"spent entire nights with Grandma at Graceland and gradually moved her belongings there\". It is believed she had her permanent residence at Graceland as early as May 1963. Her parents eventually agreed to her living there if Elvis promised to marry her.

According to the Prabhākara School, performing nitya karmas yields no additional benefit or fruit, but failing to perform them results in a loss of merit or righteousness. In contrast, Kumārila Bhaṭṭa argues that performing nitya karmas generates additional merit. Regarding kāmya rites, which are optional, performing them yields only an additional result.\n\nThere are two kinds of results from a sacrifice: visible (pratyakṣa) and invisible (ālaukika). Pratyakṣa refers to the visible gain resulting from the sacrifice, whether material or otherwise. The alaukika result can involve attaining heaven in pravṛtti (active engagement) and mukti (liberation) in nivṛtti (renunciation) through karma nivṛtti.\n\nPrayoga\n\nLiterally, prayoga means performance. It refers to the actual performance of a sacrifice, or the application of Vedic texts to conduct a yajña. The injunctions to perform sacrifices, known as vidhi, are found in the Brahmana portion of the Vedas. The Kalpa Sūtrās further explain the prayoga aspect.\n\nThere are several stages in performing a sacrifice. It begins with cleaning the site and building the altar, followed by acquiring the necessary items (dravya). The priest is then invited to officiate. Afterward, the altar is decorated and Agni is invoked. Each dravya is purified, and then homas (offerings into the fire) and danas (alms, etc.) are performed. The sacrifice concludes with cleaning the site and receiving the fruits of the sacrifice.\n\nYajña Dravya and Homas\n\nAgni karya forms the core of a sacrifice, encompassing purification rites and homas. The ingredients used in a yajña are called dravya. There are six primary ingredients involved in performing an Agni Karya:\n\n- Homa\n- Sruk and Sruva (ladles used for making offerings in the fire)\n- Idhma (wooden pieces or sticks used as fuel in the sacrifice, also called samidhas)\n- Pātras (bowls)\n\nThere are three kinds of pātras used:\n\n- The prokṣiṇi, used for purification\n- The ājya, to hold clarified butter\n- The pūrṇa pātra, literally \"complete,\" used for the completion of the rite\n\nBased on the dravya used and rites performed, there are two major classes of prayoga: Catuṣpātra (using four ingredients) and Ṣaṭpātra (using six ingredients). Ṣaṭpātra involves the use of all six dravyas mentioned above. Catuṣpātra does not involve idhma or the pūrṇa pātra. However, the regular rite performed by a brahmacari does not mandatorily involve any pātra, though their use is not prohibited. Most nitya or other prayogas involve Ṣaṭpātra.\n\nSome sacrifices are referred to as involving more than six primary ingredients. For instance, the marriage ritual in the Āpastamba sāmpradāya is called dasa pātra, involving ten ingredients. Major yāgas like Vajapeya use even more. However, all of them fall under the Ṣaṭpātra classification, with the additional dravya classified as one of the six, such as idhma or ajya.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12501, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8c9a6319575828ff8d6051a20b3d3f464fd3435f", "raw_chars": 1098, "clean_chars": 1264, "edit_ratio": 0.8036, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The claim that Clinton's staff vandalized the White House before leaving office to the Bush administration has resurfaced as accepted fact, at least according to NBC and ABC News.

Rather than have one of them run Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez away from the action on set pieces, either Johnson or Hurtado would attempt to set a pick. On the Sounders' first corner kick of the game, the plan worked perfectly. With Hurtado running interference, Johnson found himself with an unmarked header that he buried to give the visitors an early 1-0 lead.\n\n“When I look at the tape, maybe it's a foul but things play on and it is what it is, and we'll take it,” midfielder Brad Evans said on Tuesday. “It's something that teams have to be aware of. In the past, it's us being concerned about not giving up set pieces close to goal. Now it's something where it's a weapon for us.\n\n“It's just kind of formed, it's not something that we've really worked on.

A year ago, they scored nine of their 51 goals on corner kicks or free kicks.\n\nJohnson has been especially good on restarts, scoring three goals in four games that way.\n\n“It's just another weapon,” Johnson said. “We have a lot of height, a lot of presence in the box.

That's a lot of guys with athleticism and power in the box to deal with.”\n\nAs much as the defense has been a major reason for the Sounders' ability to claim 25 of their last 30 possible points – allowing just seven goals – the offense has been significantly aided by scoring set-piece goals in half of the games.\n\n“In tight games, a set-piece goal often makes the difference,” head coach Sigi Schmid said. “Obviously you look at the LA game and both goals came off set pieces. In tight games, those are the types of the games that swing it one way or the other.\n\n“It helps the team, the belief is strong.

In the meantime, the following details explain how it works.\n\nThe WoW Token will be available for purchase for real money through the World of Warcraft in-game Shop, which can be accessed through the row of feature buttons next to your character’s bags. Players needing gold can sell a WoW Token through a dedicated Token exchange in the Auction House, located in a new Game Time section. WoW Tokens cannot be traded or sold any other way.\n\nThe gold value of a Token is determined dynamically based on supply and demand. When you put a Token up for sale, you are quoted the amount of gold you will receive upon a successful sale. If you then decide to place the Token up for sale, that amount is locked in, and the gold will be sent to your mailbox after another player purchases your Token.\n\nWhen visiting the Auction House, players are presented with the current market price for a WoW Token in their game region. There is no bidding involved, and all Tokens in a game region are priced the same at any given moment. If you decide to purchase one, you will receive it in your mailbox and can then immediately redeem it for game time. Redeeming a WoW Token provides 30 days of game time.\n\nEach WoW Token can only be sold once. After you purchase a Token for gold, it becomes Soulbound. At that point, it can only be redeemed for game time and cannot be resold. Pricing details for the WoW Token in the Shop will be announced at a later date.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12509, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "b7d0c22d2b5ae0451a9bab31414ed8c8134c315a", "raw_chars": 3479, "clean_chars": 3063, "edit_ratio": 0.8371, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We have received feedback from players expressing interest in a secure and legitimate method to acquire gold without resorting to unauthorized third-party gold-selling services, which are a primary source of account compromises. Additionally, players who have amassed large amounts of gold through regular gameplay are interested in the ability to trade some of it to others in exchange for game time, helping to cover subscription costs. The WoW Token feature provides a secure and straightforward way for players on both sides of this exchange to facilitate these transactions. It introduces a new payment option for World of Warcraft players and is intended to help reduce account compromises and improve the overall game experience.\n\nAcquiring gold by selling a WoW Token differs significantly from buying gold from third-party services. Purchasing gold from unauthorized services negatively impacts the game experience for everyone. The vast majority of gold provided by these services comes from stolen player accounts, which prevents victims from playing the game and contributing to their guilds. Furthermore, gold-selling companies often use hack programs to farm resources, sell fake product codes as scams, and spam entire realms with advertisements, disrupting the game in tangible ways.\n\nThe WoW Token allows players to exchange real money for gold in a secure and sanctioned manner. Combined with the ongoing efforts of our developers, support staff, and anti-hack teams to stop the exploits used by these companies and assist victims, we hope the Token will help make World of Warcraft a safer and more enjoyable game for all players.\n\nPlayers cannot set their own prices for the WoW Token because the feature is designed to facilitate the exchange of gold and game time in the most secure, convenient, and fair way possible, without making players feel like they are gambling with their hard-earned money. A set current market price and a straightforward exchange system are the best ways to achieve this goal. This approach ensures that players do not need to worry about their Token being undercut or the market shifting, and everyone receives exactly the amount of gold they were quoted.\n\nIf the price quoted to a player differs from what the Token actually sells for, the player will always receive the gold amount quoted at the time they place the Token up for sale, regardless of the current price when the item actually sells.\n\nThe time it takes to receive gold after putting a Token up for sale depends on various factors, including current supply and demand. When listing a Token, players are quoted an estimated time based on the current supply and the rate of recent transactions, though the actual time may vary. Tokens do not expire. In most cases, Tokens are sold in the order they were listed, with some exceptions, such as when a purchase is undergoing verification.\n\nWhen buying a WoW Token from the Auction House, it will normally arrive in the buyer's mailbox nearly instantaneously, just like a standard Auction House purchase.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12506, "chunk_idx": 9, "raw_sha1": "8963ac1c7fa567e583a5c09ddd4130b5e5ec7a46", "raw_chars": 2978, "clean_chars": 2949, "edit_ratio": 0.6585, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Allan Nairn: They voted for more military aid than the Republicans asked for.\n\nCharlie Rose: Again, I invite you and Elliott Abrams back to discuss what he did.

This summer, the popularity of so-called \"session beers\"—craft beers with an alcohol content that hovers around 5.5 percent or lower—has been making waves in the industry as consumers eschew big, hoppy bombers with double-digit alcohol content for an easier drink.\n\n\"The return to session is a return to what we were doing beforehand,\" Adam Vavrick, beer manager for Chicago beverage depot Binny's, told The Huffington Post. \"We’ve gotten on the highway and gone 100 mph, but now we’re dialing it back and saving some gas.\"\n\nThough session beers have always spiked in popularity during the summer, popular regional breweries like Founder's in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Deschutes Brewery Inc. in Bend, Oregon, and Lagunitas Brewing Co. in Petaluma, California, are now making session beers year-round, according to Crain's Chicago Business.\n\n\"Really strong beers are great when it’s cold outside and you’re hunkering down next to a fireplace or a radiator and just trying to forget the cold and the troubles in your life,\" Austin Harvey, director of beer at Chicago-based craft beer cafe Beermiscuous, told HuffPost. \"But summer also exists. And heavy beers just aren’t as pleasurable to drink.\"\n\nHarvey said the preference for \"lower gravity\" beers signals a larger change in the craft beer world. \"You’re seeing a widening of the audience of craft beer,\" Harvey said. \"It’s easiest to get [consumers] into something when it’s not as overwhelming—not just in the flavor department but also alcohol-wise. Breweries are trying to make the audience for craft beer bigger while also providing something the average craft beer fan can drink every day.\"\n\nGetting a greater number of beers into customers' bellies is a savvy economic move for breweries, and Harvey adds that session beers are also \"a little cheaper\" to make, since fewer key ingredients in the fermentation process are needed. \"It's really the market maturing,\" Vavrick said. \"There’s a reason the macro-lagers became light and easy-drinking alcohol: You want to be able to sit down with your friends and have an easygoing drinking experience, and having more than one.\"\n\nConsumers ages 35 to 49 make up 41.5 percent of the craft beer-drinking market, followed by 26- to 34-year-olds, who accounted for 26.4 percent, according to figures from The Journal of Consumer Marketing and The British Food Journal. \"Folks who have been getting into craft beer for a while are getting older,\" Harvey said. \"When you sit down to a craft beer that’s lower in alcohol during dinner, you’re not going to embarrass yourself in front of your kids or your spouse.\"\n\nThough craft beer sales account for roughly 7.8 percent of the U.S. beer market, the craft segment is growing as the overall beer market slows. \"Companies are trying to attract an audience beyond the beer nerd consumer of a few years ago,\" Vavrick said, adding, \"The American palate is also changing. They don’t like [beers] as bland or sweet; there’s a desire for more flavor, maybe something a little rougher around the edges and maybe a taste that links more to the agriculture around it.\"\n\nThough there will always be a place for mass-market brews and light beers \"consumed ice cold and slammed at a ballpark,\" Vavrick said session beers at the very least keep beer fans in the game instead of under the table.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12529, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "8b36ca879d29bb0cf4b981d33bfdebca26d94f9d", "raw_chars": 2438, "clean_chars": 2557, "edit_ratio": 0.7053, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "This message is directed at Congress leaders such as Digvijay Singh, Ambika Soni, and their associates, who chose to follow the party line during the affidavit controversy.

It is you who have upheld and protected the unnecessary dominance of the Gandhi family within the Congress party. This has, in turn, affected India's governmental structure on several occasions and continues to disturb the political stability of various states, as power at 10 Janpath has repeatedly been vested in illegitimate governance.\n\nInterestingly, you were the ones who proclaimed India to be intolerant and continue to assert the same.

Even though the Indian National Congress is a sinking ship, reaching greater lows day by day, the grand old party still boasts of more than 800 Members of the Legislative Assembly, apart from a majority of Parliamentarians in the Rajya Sabha. Thus, Congress legislators as a whole still hold a considerable say in the governance of our nation, even in today's political climate.\n\nI am extremely sorry to make this comparison, but I am compelled to draw an analogy between you and those who were coercively vasectomized during the dark days of the National Emergency, as you seem equally helpless and victimized. A large chunk of Congress MLAs has already dealt severe blows to your party in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh by leaving what they describe as a fascist den for the betterment of their states and the nation.

Moreover, your party lacks a bright future, and leaving it seems to be the only option for you to save your political careers.\n\nIn conclusion, the biggest and most dangerous paradox facing our nation is that those who preach about democracy and free speech are often its greatest enemies.

The first step was to launch a series of casino-style games on the App market and Facebook to test the stability of the system. These games have been established, and now the company is preparing for Ultimate Collector, which will follow some of the format of current social games. The game features your own avatar, housing, a trade system, shops, and brings collecting to life for the player. Your goal is to travel and find objects with different attributes to collect for your homestead. Everything has different values and impacts on your own area. Obviously, you can trade and shop for objects as well.\n\nRichard talked about his passion for collecting automatons and how much he has learned about them over time simply from collecting them. He wanted to bring that same experience to people so they can learn something about the objects they are collecting. The game sets the stage for Ultimate RPG (also tentatively titled \"New Britannia\") by having all of the groundwork in a game except for combat and magic. Richard hopes that by trying Ultimate Collector, more hardcore players will see that Portalarium is on the right track for creating the third stage of the plan with Ultimate RPG.\n\nWhen talking about some of the challenges with these types of games, Richard wants to make sure that Ultimate RPG has a very deep soul. As an old-school developer and someone who gave us Ultima 4 and Ultima 7 to dearly remember, he said it is critical to have depth in the game for players, especially in an RPG. Also, he said that while having a great team of designers is one thing, it is also very important to have that constant conversation with the community. To know that players have a voice and listen to what they say.\n\nSo while we did not get into the full scoop of Ultimate RPG (I was hoping too), what we did learn is Richard's clear philosophy for the game. He wants to make sure hardcore players know they are not abandoned. It is one of the guiding principles of the design for the game. It is being made with the hardcore players at the very heart and soul of the title. Also, it is very important for the team to meet their goals on the game and create that RPG experience which made Richard's Ultimas so memorable.\n\nRichard said that you will find your way into the game through a portal, hence Portalarium, similar to the idea in Ultima 4. The game will have personal ethics, social events, and be founded on a very strong story system. You will have plenty of challenges as a player in this game. He really wants to create a new body of fiction. He really wants the great story of the game to transcend the setting. With the story at its core for the RPG, it will have a new setting and a new fictional wrapper for players to delve deeply into.\n\nThe best part of the interview was that Richard said the game has sandbox interaction at its core. He said it is styled after Ultima Online and Ultima 7 in that regard. That news should really get everyone excited! Even though the game is set for social and mobile networks, Richard was very clear that it is not MMO Light. He said that too many of the free-to-play games right now don't have the story or substance behind them for the long-term investment by players.

As the Nazis marched toward France, the Schloss family knew Hitler's agents would come for their father's art. Adolphe Schloss, a Jewish art collector, had compiled more than 300 paintings by Flemish and Dutch artists, still regarded as one of the best collections of his time. When he died, he left the collection to his wife, and it passed to their children before the outbreak of World War II.\n\nBut Adolf Hitler wanted the collection for his museum, part of the Nazi plan to simply take cultural artifacts owned by Jews. Nazi officials began the hunt soon after the invasion of France, co-opting local police forces and leaning on informers to track down the paintings, which had been secreted away by Schloss's children. The Nazis found the family's art in 1943, hidden in a chateau in central France, according to a history compiled by the Schlosses, and began the process of transferring the paintings to Germany, adding more prizes to Hitler's planned führermuseum.\n\nThis Bartholomäus van der Helst painting was stolen by the Nazis before resurfacing at an auction house. The heirs of the original owner want it back. But the artwork outlasted the Nazi regime. And one piece has resurfaced and found itself at the center of a dispute between its current owner, who wants to auction it, and the heirs of Adolphe Schloss, who want the painting back.\n\nThe painting is Bartholomäus van der Helst's \"Portrait of a Man,\" an oil painting on wood. It features an unsmiling man wearing a cap. It is valued at $16,000 to $32,500 on the auction site im Kinsky, which makes no secret of the painting's checkered past.\n\nAntoine Comte, an attorney for the Schlosses, said his client's argument is simple: The painting is stolen and should be returned. \"There's no way they can ignore that the painting was looted,\" Comte told The Washington Post. \"We stopped the sale last year and we asked the prosecutors in Vienna to have the painting listed on Interpol.\"\n\nErnst Ploil, director of im Kinsky, said a solution is not so simple, especially because the woman who owns the painting does not want to simply give it to the Schlosses. And Austrian law can't compel her, Ploil said. In Austria, a person who buys a looted painting can't be prosecuted or forced to turn over the artwork if they can show they purchased it in good faith.\n\nThousands of people from all over the world took part in a Holocaust memorial march on April 24, walking down a path linking the World War II Nazi death camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oswiecim, Poland.\n\n[‘Flea market’ Renoir returns to the Baltimore Museum of Art six decades after its theft]\n\nPloil, who is also an attorney, said he shared that fact with the Schloss family lawyers and the woman who now owns the painting. He said the owner, whom he wouldn't identify, was willing to work out a compromise: Sell the painting and split the proceeds. But the Schlosses want the painting, not the money.\n\n\"It was not our idea that the Nazi crimes should be paid twice,\" Comte told The Post. \"If this were in France, it would be seized by the police and these people would be indicted.

The hearing also assumes importance because a nine-judge Constitution bench had previously held that the right to privacy is a fundamental right under the Constitution. The petitions had challenged several aspects of the Aadhaar scheme, including the mandatory sharing of biometric details like iris scans and fingerprints, alleging a violation of citizens’ right to privacy.\n\nSome petitioners have termed the linking of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) number with bank accounts and mobile numbers as \"illegal and unconstitutional\".

Stanton's goal, however, was to determine if, \"Augmented Exercise, as I call it, is actually exercise.\"\n\nTo do this he devised an experiment. After fiddling with the heart rate tracking on an Apple Watch, Stanton decided to go all in and purchase a Polar H7 chest strap heart monitor.

This means that by some estimates playing Audioshield for an hour, even without weights, is equivalent to running about four miles in terms of burned calories.\n\nThe clear winner in this experiment is clearly Thrill of The Fight. This VR boxing experience burned a whopping 851 calories in an hour and rocketed Stanton's heart rate up to 144 bpm.

Someone knew about our past and made use of that knowledge in their plans. You were dumbly sent in to throw me off balance. I would think Gaoli was behind it, but he has been making a public scene of himself here for an hour.\"\n\nMua did not like being ignored. \"You've no hold over me any more. Our past's finally irrelevant. I'm willing to pay for the betrayal Ah committed to Chen. And there's one crucial thing ya missed in your calculations. You've overestimated how much Ah care about leaving here alive.\"\n\nShe opened her palms in front of her, and strands of mist began to rise from the pond-water behind her.\n\nTrue terror finally began to dawn on Erliao. In an instant, a profound re-estimation of Mua flashed across his face, and he realized he had made a mistake. After a split second, he turned and started to run towards a nearby wing of the mansion, but a whip of water shot out and knocked him off his feet. He yelled out as he landed heavily, \"Zhang! Help!\"\n\nA window slammed open somewhere in the mansion above, but at that moment, the courtyard exploded into an all-concealing fog. There was no chance of some hired earthbender picking off Mua; she was a projectile now. Erliao rolled over and tried to push himself backwards as his panicked words came tumbling out of his mouth. \"Nia, I've never done anything against you! I never stole you away from Chen. You know that! And I never wanted him to die! Someone has twisted something and things are getting out of control...\"\n\nNia Mua loomed over Erliao. In the fog, she was a black shadow rising over a huddled form on the ground. \"Given the time, Ah'd love to find out just what you've done to tear apart the spiritual stability of this land. Chen was trying to undo it, Ah know. But Ah have little time. In a choice between personal desire or even protectin the city, and justice for Chen, Ah know my answer. I'll choose Chen every time. I learned that lesson. And I'll gladly pay for my crimes against love.\"\n\nErliao was flat on his back with his gold costume grinding into the dirt as he darted his head left and right, looking for any openings to escape. There were none. Ropes of water rose up out of the pool behind Mua like air-born snakes undulating to arcane rhythms. Mua raised up her open palm to deliver the slicing waterbending blow. Then she felt a knife blade against her throat.\n\nMizumi whispered into Mua's ear. \"Lovely holiday this city has. These costumes allow you to conceal so many things.\"\n\nThe water ropes splashed down, now freed of their motive force as Mua halted.\n\nNo one could accuse Erliao of being slow to seize an opportunity. He was already on his feet and dashing off to the safety of the other wing of the mansion before he would even have time to recognize who Mizumi was.\n\nMua growled at Mizumi as she stood still, held by the biting metal against her skin. \"You!\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12549, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "a295716bdff12ba587af16cb7cbc893429478a79", "raw_chars": 3091, "clean_chars": 3095, "edit_ratio": 0.0388, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Erliao had been deep in conversation with a few guests, but the instant he saw the tribal woman, he stopped mid-sentence. His first look was one of pure disbelief. That expression then melted into confusion as Mua did not continue to stride towards him but instead swept past through the party room and out a back door to the courtyard outside. Mizumi would have thought the minister would have run for the hills at the first opportunity given how his last interaction with Mua had gone, however, she heard Erliao make a hurried excuse about seeing what this commotion was all about before he rushed out after her. The remaining partygoers erupted into a flurry of mutters and whispers, and many cast pained looks at the twice-used exit, wishing that the rules of etiquette did not forbid them from following that mysterious pair for at least five minutes. Fortunately, Mizumi and Ayika were not bound by etiquette. Together they moved around the side of the room to sneak unseen out another exit to the courtyard a little ways away.\n\nThere were no lights lit in the outside courtyard, but the mansion that surrounded three sides was filled with such vibrant illumination that what spilled outside was enough to provide a reasonable facsimile of late afternoon. Despite Mizumi's emphatic gestures, Ayika insisted on leading the way as they crept into eavesdropping position. She was still buoyed on by whatever amount of alcohol she had in fact drunk. Fortunately, they needed not creep far. Mua was standing in the open beside an ornamental koi pond near the center of the courtyard. The two girls took up positions behind a large and pitted scholar's rock.\n\nErliao stormed up to Mua out of the long crossing shadows. \"Nia?! How did you get in here? After your last ridiculous attempt to frighten me, I could have you executed!\"\n\nMua's languidly accented voice drawled as she gave her reply. \"Don't pretend ya haven't tried. It's not my fault ya couldn't find me, Chao. Fate has a way of working against murderers.\"\n\nErliao was now even angrier, but there was also a small note of fear. However, it was still not as much as Mizumi thought would be reasonable given Mua's last attack. For some reason, he was convinced she would not hurt him.\n\n\"I had absolutely nothing to do with Chen Lizhen's death, and I don't know how you think I did. I am searching for those responsible! I have sent orders to comb every possible hiding spot for that wretch. Now you must stop this posturing. If you were actually intending to kill me in a misguided pursuit of justice, you would have done so already.\" He spread his hands, his self-assurance returning. \"You are a bender, I am not. And you would not have walked in through the front door where half the city saw you behind that paltry beaded veil if you actually intended to commit such a brazen crime. There is nothing you could get away with. So, Nia, with that settled, I need you to tell me how you got into the Inner Ring!\"\n\nMua did not like that tone, or the minister's curious habit of addressing her by her first name. \"I received an invitation.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12549, "chunk_idx": 4, "raw_sha1": "39316c23f48767009d40f044bc299b85615faebb", "raw_chars": 3427, "clean_chars": 3432, "edit_ratio": 0.0879, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Suddenly, a splintering crash and a heavy thump echoed from several meters behind them.

Mama Mua pushed herself up from the ground, supporting her weight on scraped and bloody arms.\n\nPanting, she said, \"Your Masks are here. It seems you were right. They don't like Chao either.\"\n\nWithout Mua maintaining her magic, the fog began to dissipate. One gap in the wisps was large enough for them to see a man step through the hole of a broken paper-screen door leading into the mansion. He wore a simple thin shirt and light trousers, but obviously did not have to worry about the coming autumn chill. Red eyes glowed from behind the purple mask he wore, and even Mizumi could see him obscured by shifting violet, shadow-like smoke clinging to his back. It formed the suggestion of a second creature clinging to the back of each limb, moving the human like a puppet. Ayika had been right. The Masks were merging with spirits.\n\nAyika could understand the hatred of jilted love and festering guilt. She could even imagine hatred of change battling with tradition. But within those carved sockets there was no hatred, or any emotion that could be matched by a human heart. The Mask jerked slightly as he stood in the hole broken by Mua's body, as if his limbs were a new machine whose operation he was still learning. Then he let out a laugh like grinding ice and turned on the three women in the courtyard, his fingers curled like grasping claws.\n\n...\n\nAyika panted as she ran through the mansion halls. Screaming guests fled in every direction around her. She was now terrifyingly clear-headed. Few things were more sobering than fleeing for your life. Ayika remembered Mua waving her arms to send the fog in the courtyard flying together to solidify around the Mask in an imprisoning armor of ice. She also remembered that man breaking his arm free of his frozen bonds in a matter of seconds. The three women had run inside, but the only reason they had escaped was by running into the guards who had been rushing out to defend Erliao against Mua. In that instant of collision, the waterbender, now bashed and bloody, had not provoked as much alarm as the masked attacker racing up behind them. The Mask launched himself forward and proceeded to smash his way amongst the mansion security. Ayika had grabbed Mizumi and Mua's arms as they fled with the rest of the partygoers.\n\n\"How did they get here?\" Mizumi yelled as she ran down the hallway while trying to support a battered Mua.\n\nMua gritted her teeth as the two girls accidentally half-flung her into a wall rounding a corner. \"Ah don't know! Chao was running to hide in his bedroom, but someone must've been hiding in there already! Ah'd just saw the door close when he suddenly screamed bloody murder. It sounded like a bear was loose in there, and then the next thing that monster was bursting out through a wooden wall! Ah couldn't hit the blasted thing more than once, and when Ah did, it was only 'cus he was a little busy throwing me through a door!\"\n\n\"Another time maybe, ladies!\" Ayika was just concentrating on running.

The Federal Reserve is not going to deliberately overshoot inflation, period. That train left the station long ago—so long ago that you can't even hear the rumble on the tracks.\n\nThe train left the station on January 25, 2012, with a statement by the Federal Reserve: \"The Committee judges that inflation at the rate of 2 percent, as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures, is most consistent over the longer run with the Federal Reserve's statutory mandate.\"\n\nOn that day, the Federal Reserve locked in the definition of price stability. They locked it in specifically to prevent even the appearance that they might deliberately overshoot as a result of extraordinary monetary policy. They locked it in as a commitment device to tie the hands of future policymakers, as they would need to justify changing the definition of price stability, which is presumably a very high bar for any central banker to cross.\n\nOn that day, the Federal Reserve took higher inflation expectations off the table. They pulled it from the toolkit. They made clear there is one and only one inflation target for all time. The only tolerable deviations from that target are essentially forecast errors. That's it.\n\nMoreover, I would argue that their behavior has been entirely consistent with maintaining that expectation. Inflation expectations, as measured by Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), have been more volatile than prior to the recession, but have cycled around pre-recession levels, or arguably a little below.\n\nThere is no reason to believe that the Fed has acted to try to sustain inflation expectations beyond those in place prior to the recession. Perhaps they came close in late 2012, as measured by the five-year, five-year forward breakevens. But that was soon met by official pushback. As St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said in a speech in Memphis, Tennessee: \"Distant inflation expectations from the TIPS market seem to suggest that investors do not completely trust the Fed to deliver on its 2 percent inflation target.\" He was referring to the five-year, five-year forward break-even rate, which projects the pace of price increases starting in 2017. That rate rose to 2.88 percent on September 14, the day after the Federal Open Market Committee announced a third round of quantitative easing. That was up half a percentage point from July 26. It dropped to 2.77 percent on October 2.\n\nSoon thereafter began the tapering chatter that ultimately culminated in then-Chairman Ben Bernanke's press conference, in which he introduced the 7 percent trigger for asset purchases. The result was a sharp snap-back in real yields.\n\nIf the Fed has already proved they can't stomach inflation expectations hovering just below 3 percent (remember that this is on a CPI basis by which TIPS are calculated, not on a PCE basis that is the Fed's target) for even a few months, they really can't wrap their minds around inflation actually reaching 3 percent as suggested by Karl Smith.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12559, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d8cc174f9636c5073e671b8d0eed8c5c34b9e77f", "raw_chars": 3264, "clean_chars": 3308, "edit_ratio": 0.0937, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "In the United States, marijuana is considered a highly addictive illicit drug. If you are caught possessing such a drug, depending on the quantity, you will be given a permanent record with a felony and possibly find yourself a new roommate in a much smaller room. Marijuana is unlike other drugs because it is a naturally occurring plant that some people have illegally manipulated to carry higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which gives the user the 'high' feeling.\n\nMarijuana affects everyone around the user. Those under the influence may become very lazy, and unlike their drunken counterparts, they may not want to be included in destructive behavior. It is also typical, because of the lack of motivation, that they do not want to drive. When a drunk person is driving, they usually speed and swerve between lanes without warning. Drivers who are high, however, prefer to have high-speed endeavors at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. This style of driving is much more dangerous because people may not be ready for the overly cautious driving.\n\nBecause marijuana is illegal, the underground trade network that has been established produces no money for the government like alcohol or tobacco. The only money the government gets is when it searches a possible drug dealer's house. The best part for the government is the cost it takes to enforce laws about marijuana. This is usually much greater than the money recovered could ever add up to. If marijuana was sold in stores like alcohol and tobacco, the government could establish a tax on it that could help repay some of the billions of debt our country has established, not to mention law enforcement could also concentrate on crimes that don't involve only one person, like murders and rape.\n\nAnother reason marijuana is illegal is because, unlike alcohol, which is legal, if you use too much, you won't suffer from poisoning and you don't run the risk of dying. When a marijuana addict uses too much pot, they suffer with severe hunger and become very lethargic. However, when a person consumes alcohol, they tend to ride a rollercoaster of energy. The first few drinks a person ingests tend to relax them; the next round gets them a little more obnoxious by becoming louder and wanting to be more active. The drinker soon becomes uncontrollable, often becoming excessively rowdy, even being unable to walk and talk logically. Finally, if the person consumes even more alcohol, they may pass out from alcohol poisoning, which, left untreated, can become blinding or fatal. Logically, marijuana, 'the harder drug,' is illegal.\n\nTobacco, which is legal, is generally not grown organically and contains lots of harmful chemicals. When smoked, carbon monoxide is inhaled. Marijuana is usually organically grown but still contains a lot of the same chemicals that tobacco has. Tobacco has always been legal in the United States and has very high taxes on the products that help support the government's funding. Because marijuana is illegal, it complicates the process the government would have to go through to apply a considerably large tax on it. Because the trade of marijuana is done with any and all avoidance of law enforcement, the government knows no one would claim and profits they may have made from selling illegal substances.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12565, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "4628474b988a651cc1f6f27cba60fe6fb6978b5f", "raw_chars": 3333, "clean_chars": 3179, "edit_ratio": 0.0771, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Continuing his regular mockery of the president, \"Late Show\" host Stephen Colbert ended his Friday night monologue by paying tribute to all the Stephens and Steves of the world who, as he suggested, are suffering for sharing the same name as key aides to President Trump.\n\n\"There are so many Stephens in the Trump administration.

In February, the newspaper reviewed more than 1,000 pages from the shooting of Marine Cpl. Allan DeVillena, a drunk driver who was shot to death by police in Palm Springs in 2012. The story revealed that the tactics used by Officer Chad Nordman left his partner with \"no choice\" but to pull the trigger, escalating a confrontation with DeVillena.\n\nIn June, the newspaper reviewed more than 500 pages from the shooting of Alejandro Rendon, an Indio man who was killed while fleeing by Indio Police Officer Alex Franco in 2013. The documents showed Franco had attended the funeral of a murdered officer one day beforehand and was still in grief when he shot Rendon.\n\nIn both of these stories, the revelations came directly from transcripts of interviews with police officers.

In a recent interview, White did not mention LSU among his favorite schools. The coaching staff’s reaction to each running back’s film sometimes diverged from the rankings. On one tape, a smaller back displayed dazzling change-of-direction skills and balance, wriggling out of trouble after being surrounded by tacklers on his first play, which immediately sold head coach Ed Orgeron.\n\nMuch of the staff’s film review focused on whether good players could be special ones. Deciphering how big and fast a prospect truly plays is vital, as is assessing the caliber of the competition they faced. Verified track times helped if the staff could find them. Responding to Orgeron’s prodding, the staff seemed to bring him their cell phones every few minutes with a different high school coach or player on the other end. \"I want you to holler at Coach O…\" one would say, prompting Orgeron to shout, \"WHADDAYASAY!\"\n\nOrgeron excelled at small talk, often about food, particularly gumbo. His recall of film, coaches, or past players from a recruit’s area was uncanny. Any method to make an instant connection was invaluable for fostering relationships and standing out from the competition. It also helped that he had personally recruited or developed 14 defensive linemen who went on to become first-round NFL picks.\n\nThe 2018 recruiting cycle also served as a way to avoid becoming so consumed with impending decisions that they would miss the actual Signing Day announcements. A steady flow of staffers entered and exited the office with their phones pressed to their ears. Sometimes, three recruits were waiting in line for Orgeron to finish chatting with another prospect.\n\nDennis \"Meatball\" Johnson was experiencing his first Signing Day as a full-time coach. The 28-year-old, a former reserve defensive lineman for LSU from Mississippi, had been promoted by Orgeron from graduate assistant about four months earlier. During much of his time as a graduate assistant, Johnson did not even have a car, usually walking two miles each way to the office rain or shine. Johnson helped recruit some of the biggest names remaining on LSU’s board, including Chaisson, Mathis, Big Cat Bryant, and Wilson, the highest-rated uncommitted prospect in the country. Orgeron and Johnson both felt they had developed strong relationships with Wilson’s mother and brother. They also felt confident about a 5 a.m. visit they made with Chaisson and his grandparents, where LSU coaches hustled to see him at home, followed him to the airport, and spent another 40 minutes with the pass rusher right up to the security checkpoint before he flew to Florida for an official visit.\n\nAt 3:45 p.m. on Monday, Johnson received more encouraging news. Chaisson’s grandmother texted the young coach to say she had brought some LSU sweatshirts. Thirty-nine minutes later, Thomas, the Tigers’ general manager, re-entered the war room with potential bad news involving Mathis, a 290-pound defensive lineman from north Louisiana that LSU was battling for with Alabama. Every year, something unexpected seems to unfold around Signing Day.

In a statement released yesterday, Ra’ad emphasized that the suffering of migrants detained in Libya is an outrage to the conscience of humanity. He noted that the European Union’s policy of assisting the Libyan coast guard to intercept and return migrants in the Mediterranean is inhuman.\n\nRa’ad stressed that the international community cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the unimaginable horrors endured by migrants in Libya, nor pretend that the situation can be remedied only by improving conditions in detention. He pointed out that the increasing interventions of the EU and its member states have done nothing so far to reduce the level of abuses suffered by migrants, adding that instead, there appears to be a fast deterioration in their situation in Libya.\n\nFrom November 1 to 6, UN human rights monitors visited four Department of Combating Illegal Migration (DCIM) facilities in Tripoli, where they interviewed detainees who had fled conflict, persecution, and extreme poverty from states across Africa and Asia. The UN official reported that monitors were shocked by what they witnessed: thousands of emaciated and traumatized men, women, and children piled on top of one another, locked up in hangars with no access to the most basic necessities, and stripped of their human dignity.\n\nLibya has long been a major transit hub for people trying to reach Europe, and many have fallen prey to serious abuse in the country at the hands of traffickers and others. Approximately 20,000 people were being held in facilities under Libyan authorities' control in early November, up from about 7,000 in mid-September. This increase came after authorities detained thousands of people previously held by smugglers in Libya’s trafficking hub of Sabratha, west of Tripoli.\n\nThe European Union is providing assistance to the Libyan Coast Guard to intercept migrant boats in the Mediterranean, including in international waters. This has raised concerns among various rights groups that such actions would condemn more migrants to arbitrary and indefinite detention and expose them to forced labor or extortion. Ra’ad reiterated, \"We cannot be a silent witness to modern-day slavery, rape, and other sexual violence, and unlawful killings, in the name of managing migration and preventing desperate and traumatized people from reaching Europe’s shores.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12612, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "39ec1ed1f22a633aa81a03b0f334974bcd7dc20c", "raw_chars": 3300, "clean_chars": 3153, "edit_ratio": 0.6225, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The Michelangelo virus is a computer virus first discovered on February 4, 1991, in Australia. Designed to infect DOS systems, it operated at the BIOS level rather than engaging the operating system or making OS calls. Like other boot sector viruses, it remained dormant each year until March 6, the birthday of the Renaissance artist Michelangelo. There is no reference to the artist within the virus code itself, and it is doubtful that the writer intended to reference Michelangelo; the name was chosen by researchers who noticed the coincidence of the activation date. The actual significance of the date to the author remains unknown. Michelangelo is a variant of the already endemic Stoned virus.\n\nOn March 6, if the PC is an AT or a PS/2, the virus overwrites the first one hundred sectors of the hard disk with nulls. It assumes a geometry of 256 cylinders, 4 heads, and 17 sectors per track. Although all the user's data would still be on the hard disk, it would be irretrievable for the average user. On hard disks, the virus moves the original master boot record to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7. On floppy disks, if the disk is 360 KB, the virus moves the original boot sector to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3. On other disks, the virus moves the original boot sector to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 14. This is the last directory of the 1.2 MB disks, the second-to-last directory of the 1.44 MB disks, and the directory does not exist on 720 KB disks.\n\nAlthough designed to infect DOS systems, the virus can easily disrupt other operating systems installed on the system since, like many viruses of its era, the Michelangelo infects the master boot record of a hard drive. Once a system became infected, any floppy disk inserted into the system (and written to; in 1992 a PC system could not detect that a floppy had been inserted, so the virus could not infect the floppy until some access to the disk is made) becomes immediately infected as well. And because the virus spends most of its time dormant, activating only on March 6, it is conceivable that an infected computer could go for years without detection — as long as it wasn't booted on that date, while infected.\n\nThe virus first came to widespread international attention in January 1992, when it was revealed that a few computer and software manufacturers had accidentally shipped products, for example Intel's LANSpool print server, infected with the virus. Although the infected machines numbered only in the hundreds, the resulting publicity spiraled into \"expert\" claims, partially led by anti-virus company founder John McAfee, of thousands or even millions of computers infected by Michelangelo. However, on March 6, 1992, only 10,000 to 20,000 cases of data loss were reported.\n\nIn subsequent years, users were advised not to run PCs on March 6, waiting until March 7, or else reset the PC date to March 7 at some time on March 5 (to skip March 6). Eventually, the news media lost interest, and the virus was quickly forgotten. Despite the scenario given above, in which an infected computer could evade detection for years, by 1997 no cases were being reported in the wild.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12633, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "e785784ac96e477549edd0c44ca2422b9dd7d7ce", "raw_chars": 1944, "clean_chars": 1944, "edit_ratio": 0.0, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "BATTLE CREEK, MI - Police say the shooting deaths of two people early Sunday morning - one a Calhoun County Sheriff's deputy -- was an incident of murder-suicide.\n\nSheriff Matt Saxton identified 18-year law enforcement division veteran Mark Elferdink, 43, and his wife, Hope Elferdink, 38, as those deceased.\n\nThe Elferdinks' bodies were found in the backyard of their McAllister Road residence in Emmett Township after a concerned family member called for emergency help at about 8 a.m. Sunday.\n\nDeputies say the shootings may have happened several hours earlier, with neighbors reporting that they heard firecracker-like sounds at about 1 a.m.\n\n\"The incident has been confirmed to be a murder-suicide and it appears that Elferdink is responsible for the death of his wife and himself,\" Saxton said at a Monday afternoon press conference.\n\nWood TV-8 reported that neighbors said the couple's two children were in the house when the shooting occurred, along with some other children who were there for a sleepover.

On July 1, 1898, at approximately 10:00 a.m., the Rough Riders and the 10th Cavalry were positioned below Kettle Hill. Spanish forces atop the hill unleashed a barrage of machine gun and Mauser fire against the advancing Americans. It was during this engagement that Buckey O'Neill was killed in action.\n\nTheodore Roosevelt, commander of the Rough Riders, later wrote about O'Neill's death, describing it as the most serious loss the regiment could have suffered. The incident occurred just before the charge. O'Neill had been strolling up and down in front of his men, smoking a cigarette, as he was inveterately addicted to the habit. He held the theory that an officer ought never to take cover—a notion that was, of course, tactically incorrect, though in a volunteer organization, officers were expected to expose themselves fully to maintain morale. The regimental toast on the transport had been, \"The officers; may the war last until each is killed, wounded, or promoted.\"\n\nAs O'Neill moved to and fro, his men begged him to lie down. One sergeant warned, \"Captain, a bullet is sure to hit you.\" O'Neill removed his cigarette, blew out a cloud of smoke, laughed, and replied, \"Sergeant, the Spanish bullet isn't made that will kill me.\" Shortly thereafter, he discussed with a regular officer the direction from which the Spanish fire was coming. As he turned on his heel, a bullet struck him in the mouth and exited at the back of his head, so that even before he fell, his wild and gallant soul had gone out into the darkness.\n\nBefore the fighting was over, O'Neill's men buried him on the slope of San Juan Hill. After the war, his family and friends enlisted the help of the War Department to locate and recover his body. After six men failed to find the site, the War Department sent Henry Alfred Brown, the Rough Riders' Chaplain, to find him. Despite it being eight months since O'Neill's death, Chaplain Brown located the site within two hours of arriving in Santiago. The well-preserved body was exhumed, placed in a coffin, and returned to the United States on the Army transport Crook. He was reinterred in Arlington National Cemetery, Section 1, Site 294. The epitaph on his gravestone reads, \"Who would not die for a new star on the flag?\"\n\nOn July 3, 1907, a monument by sculptor Solon Borglum was dedicated to O'Neill and the other Rough Riders in their memory in Prescott, Arizona.

This is contradicted by his military muster-in roll, which listed his place of birth as Ireland, and the October 14, 1884 edition of \"The Great Register of Yavapai County, Arizona Territory,\" which listed O'Neill as a native of Ireland, naturalized by his father's naturalization.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12637, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "eb305f9ef4325332527abe4405d23ea728250c68", "raw_chars": 3348, "clean_chars": 3253, "edit_ratio": 0.6679, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Last week I posted a recipe for chorizo-stuffed roasted poblano peppers, which turned out delicious, if I do say so myself. While tasting the chorizo mixture, I couldn't help but think it would be excellent stuffed into a chicken. I obsessed over the idea, as I often do, until I finally decided to try it.\n\nI had frozen leftover stuffing made with chorizo, cheese, pureed cauliflower, coconut flour, and a few other ingredients. I thawed it out with the intention of using it as a chicken stuffing, but at the last minute, rather than using an entire bird, I decided to stuff it under the skin of a couple of bone-in chicken breasts.\n\nIt had been a long time since I cooked a chicken breast on the bone with the skin still on. Years ago, I switched to boneless breasts and never looked back. But wow, I had forgotten how juicy and flavorful a chicken breast is when cooked correctly on the bone! It was awesome, and the spicy, rich stuffing certainly didn't hurt.\n\nWe really enjoyed these, and I will definitely be making them again. The recipe yields six stuffed breasts and is both low-carb and gluten-free.\n\nTo make the stuffing, combine one cup of raw cauliflower puree with a quarter cup of ground slivered almonds, one-third cup of coconut flour, two eggs, a teaspoon of granulated sugar substitute, an eighth of a teaspoon of salt, a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder, a tablespoon of ground cumin, a quarter cup of parmesan cheese, and a tablespoon of melted butter in a medium bowl. Stir until you have a thick, mashed-potato-like puree, then set it aside. Remove the chorizo from its casings and sauté it in a medium pan until fully cooked. Mix the cooked chorizo into the puree until well combined. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in one cup of shredded cheddar cheese and a quarter cup of chopped cilantro.\n\nSeason your six bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Loosen the skin away from the chicken breasts, being careful to leave it attached. Divide the stuffing into six equal portions and stuff it under the skin of each chicken breast, packing as much in as possible. Once the chicken breasts are stuffed, drizzle the tops with a little oil or butter and place them on a parchment paper- or foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165 degrees. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

There is a distinct difference between political pundits and the general public: pundits live on Twitter with cable news playing in the background, whereas regular people encounter campaign developments only in snippets, if at all. This disconnect makes it extremely difficult for even the worst day to cause a significant six-point swing in public opinion.\n\nConsequently, when new polls show a candidate surging, that momentum must sustain itself to register fully in the HuffPost model. The New York Times model, which incorporates HuffPost data, applies a bit more flexibility to its charts, allowing numbers to move up or down more rapidly. Over the past week, the Times model's confidence in a Clinton victory dropped from 93 percent to 85 percent, while the HuffPost model's confidence barely declined.\n\nThis raises the question: if both Nate Cohn and Nate Silver see a roughly three-point race, why is one confident in a Clinton win while the other is sparking a collective global freakout? The answer lies in Silver's practice of unskewing state polls. This explains why FiveThirtyEight predicts Trump will win Florida, even as HuffPost and others, along with early voting data, indicate a comfortable Clinton lead. To see how this works in practice, consider the Marist College poll conducted from October 25 to 26. Silver rates Marist as an \"A\" pollster, and their data showed Clinton with a one-point lead. Silver then \"adjusted\" this figure to project a three-point Trump lead. In contrast, HuffPost Pollster maintains near certainty that Clinton is leading in Florida.\n\nIn response to this analysis, Silver tweeted that the reason they adjust polls for the national trend is because \"that's what works best empirically,\" emphasizing that it is not a subjective assumption. He added in another post, \"Every model makes assumptions, but we actually test ours based on the evidence. Some of the other models are barely even empirical.\"\n\nWe will have to wait and see what happens. Perhaps Silver will be right on Election Day, with Trump winning Florida and everyone facing a very long night. Or perhaps the HuffPost forecast will be correct, with Clinton winning nationally by five or six points, allowing everyone to turn in early. If Silver is right, it was merely a good guess—a fortunate \"trend line adjustment\"—rather than a mathematical forecast. If you prefer to put your faith in the numbers, you can relax. She has this.\n\nThis story has been updated with a response from Nate Silver.\n\nCorrection: Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this post incorrectly implied that the HuffPost model had Clinton winning Florida by five or six points.

It seems there is a great discussion going on in the world regarding inequality and so NEM equality experiment comes at the precisely right point in time. As usual I think people focus on the wrong things. We should strive to give people equal opportunities, but they are not and should not be equal in outcome. In fact, though most of us start as equal now, I have no doubt we will not end as equal. If high productivity people work and risk 10x more than the other people, it's common sense that they should also be rewarded 10x more. Indeed, I think this kind of inequality is a natural and even necessary effect of the free market. If you would want to cut this kind of inequality off, you would also have to cut startups, inventions and innovations with it, since this may be the greatest driver for that.\n\nHere are two quotes with which I tend to agree:\n\nQuote\nWorry about skin in the game, not inequality. Worry about equality in opportunity not outcome. Worry about the powerful corporations taking over the system via lobbyists and blocking artisans.

This process leads to the decomposition of organic matter, turning human waste into compost. It is carried out by microorganisms, mainly bacteria and fungi, under controlled aerobic conditions. Most composting toilets use no water for flushing and are therefore considered \"dry toilets.\"\n\nIn many composting toilet designs, carbon additives such as sawdust, coconut coir, or peat moss are added after each use. This practice creates air pockets in the human excreta to promote aerobic decomposition. It also improves the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and reduces potential odor. Most composting toilet systems rely on mesophilic composting. A longer retention time in the composting chamber facilitates pathogen die-off. The end product can also be moved to a secondary system, usually another composting step, to allow more time for mesophilic composting to further reduce pathogens.\n\nComposting toilets, together with the secondary composting step, produce a humus-like end product that can be used to enrich soil if local regulations allow it. Some composting toilets have urine diversion systems in the toilet bowl to collect the urine separately and control excess moisture. A \"vermifilter toilet\" is a type of composting toilet that uses flushing water where earthworms are used to promote decomposition into compost.\n\nComposting toilets do not require a connection to septic tanks or sewer systems, unlike flush toilets. Common applications include national parks, remote holiday cottages, ecotourism resorts, off-grid homes, and rural areas in developing countries.\n\nThe term \"composting toilet\" is used quite loosely, and its meaning varies by country. For example, in Germany and Scandinavian countries, composting always refers to a predominantly aerobic process. This aerobic composting may take place with an increase in temperature due to microbial action, or without a temperature increase in the case of slow composting or cold composting. If earthworms are used (vermicomposting), then there is also no increase in temperature.\n\nComposting toilets differ from pit latrines and arborloos, which use less controlled decomposition and may not protect groundwater from nutrient or pathogen contamination or provide optimal nutrient recycling. They also differ from urine-diverting dry toilets (UDDTs), where pathogen reduction is achieved through dehydration (also known by the more precise term \"desiccation\") and where the feces collection vault is kept as dry as possible.

Concerns about Aberthaw Power Station's emission levels have been compounded by recent criticism from an alliance of NGOs, which identified the facility as one of Europe's highest carbon-emitting plants. Both carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide are known to cause lung disease and respiratory failure.\n\nIn October 2013, a report by the European Environment Agency found that more than 90 percent of people living in European cities breathe dangerously noxious air. Against a backdrop of mounting concern that the continent's air pollution levels require stringent action, the European Commission has initiated infraction proceedings against the British government. These proceedings were reportedly sparked by inadequate UK proposals for adhering to EU laws governing emission rates. Government documents tendered to Brussels were riddled with inconsistencies and missing data, as revealed by the Guardian. The controversial Aberthaw plant, situated on the south Wales coast, is central to these proceedings.\n\nAberthaw is specially designed to burn coal from the south Wales locale in which it is situated. However, this fuel is particularly difficult to ignite and requires a special chemical compound to ensure it burns. An added chemical catalyst worsens the release of nitrogen oxide during the burning process, meaning the plant's emissions average 1,000 milligrams per normal cubic meter, according to the Guardian. The legal limit, as defined by the European Industrial Emissions Directive, is a mere 200 milligrams per normal cubic meter. Under these regulations, Aberthaw must be shut down by 2016.\n\nIn a bid to keep the coal power station open, the UK government is seeking an exemption from European law, which prohibits plants from emitting such high levels of the noxious gas. Aberthaw already has a European Commission exemption, which facilitates the plant's emission of as much as 1,200 milligrams per normal cubic meter of nitrogen oxide. This legislative leniency, which has allowed the plant to remain open thus far, was extended on the basis that the power station was utilizing low-volatility, locally sourced coal and helping to sustain a sizable local industry. However, gas and electricity firm RWE npower, which runs the 43-year-old plant, is currently mixing indigenous coal with coal sourced from regions as far-flung as Russia. At present, 30 percent of the coal used in the plant is sourced outside Britain.\n\nThe current exemption stipulates that the plant must use coal of less than 10 percent volatility. While the power station reportedly uses coal with a volatility rate of between six and 15 percent, the British government has failed to issue the European Commission with precise figures documenting an annual mean in this respect. As a result, the European Commission stipulates that the Welsh power plant no longer meets the exemption's requirements.\n\nWhile the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has tendered two proposals that outline plans to reduce emissions nationally and reference Aberthaw in this process, the European Commission has rejected the proposals and commenced official infraction proceedings against the UK.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12683, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f17a5541221ec2b798fbc78c1aa0b5ee0d5ce239", "raw_chars": 2313, "clean_chars": 2317, "edit_ratio": 0.0078, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "ARTISTS BEHIND THE IMAGE is intended to put a name (and sometimes face) to the talented men and women who created the most iconic images to adorn horror VHS boxes and posters from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

This is useful for scenes that contain moving subjects or where a tripod is impractical or simply not an option. The main thing you need to do in terms of exposure is bias the histogram as far to the right as possible without clipping the highlights, meaning you should force the brightest areas to total white.

The first is bandwidth, also known as the width of the audio spectrum. Human hearing possesses a remarkably broad bandwidth, spanning ten octaves, which represents a frequency ratio of 1000 to 1. The lowest frequency audible to humans is approximately 20 Hz, while the highest is around 20 kHz. For educational and musical purposes, this range is divided into ten octaves, with each octave representing a doubling of frequency.\n\nHowever, manufacturers frequently exaggerate these specifications. It is common to see audio gear advertised with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth, a claim that is often unrealistic. Very few devices can achieve this range in a rigorous manner, and speakers certainly cannot unless they are exceptionally expensive. As Moulton notes, frequency response is a metric that should be viewed with skepticism. Most manufacturers claim good frequency response, yet the reality is that almost all equipment performs poorly in this regard.\n\nPower handling, or wattage, is another common specification. For many consumers, high power handling equates to loud, house-shaking sound. In practice, however, most people use very little power when listening to music, typically around one or two watts. Despite this, the allure of high-wattage speakers, such as a pair rated at 1,200 watts, remains strong.\n\nIn reality, power handling is often irrelevant to the average listener's experience. A useful rule of thumb is that each doubling of power results in a barely audible increase of about 3 decibels. Conversely, increasing power by a factor of ten will make a speaker sound only about twice as loud. Therefore, the difference in perceived volume between a 300-watt system and a 1,200-watt system is not as significant as the numbers might suggest.\n\nGiven that many specifications offer diminishing returns in terms of useful information, the best approach is to test equipment in person whenever possible. Alternatively, rely on trusted review sites that evaluate gadgets on a daily basis.\n\nThis article was originally published on Gizmodo.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12722, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3997bf4fd1a77180a5eee70f51392da8c25a3b48", "raw_chars": 3371, "clean_chars": 3341, "edit_ratio": 0.8751, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Probability theories of category formation demonstrate that we tend to lump very different things together in the same category. For example, football and chess have very few features in common, yet both are considered types of games. This tendency to group things together despite their differences means that lists with a nominal subject matter can include items that wander off topic quite bizarrely, such as a list of scientific facts about the human body that includes a discussion of atomic structure.\n\nPopular things can be listed. Lists are very popular, so logically, lists about popular things would be even more popular. Bacon, attractive people, funny cats, and tweets regularly end up on lists. You might say this point isn't scientific in any way, but I include it as evidence for the above point, which means it is scientific in a very tenuous way.\n\nLists fit the way humans tend to read. It has been demonstrated many times, in scientific studies and on Martin Robbins' blog, that the way people read things on the internet follows an F-shaped pattern. While this is detrimental to blogs and articles with continuous prose, it is obviously beneficial for lists of things, as the reader is reading in a pattern that largely follows a list structure.\n\nThere are many popular types of list, not just on the internet. Lists predate the internet by a considerable margin and aren't necessarily constrained or dependent on it. Examples include shopping lists, bucket lists, guest lists, and hit lists. These lists are invariably detached from the subject matter in some way; nobody ever buys a shopping list, bucket lists rarely feature buckets, a guest list is rarely seen inside a party or club, and there are no records of someone being killed with an actual hit list. Contrastingly, Craigslist was created by someone called Craig. To date, there is no evidence of a popular list of all the angles at which a ship may list, suggesting that list formats are incompatible.\n\nSome entries on a list are likely to be just padding. As mentioned, most people use the decimal system. As well as using words like \"amazing,\" \"astonishing,\" and \"incredible\" in the title—which are impressive-sounding but technically impossible to disprove—the majority of lists will be a list of ten things, or a multiple thereof. This will inevitably lead to someone preparing a list and including things that shouldn't really be in it in order to make it ten items in length. This makes it look \"proper.\" See the point before this one for a demonstration of this happening.\n\nPeople will tend to remember the last thing on a list. Lists are commonly used as tools for assessing people's memory. Word lists are a typical tool for testing someone's ability to remember and recall items, and can be designed and adapted to analyze a wide variety of human memory abilities. One of the things uncovered by this sort of research is the recency effect, meaning people are more likely to remember the last thing they are presented with, due to the way attention works and the demands of memory formation. So when you try to tell someone about this list, you may end up saying, \"The last thing on the list was that you're more likely to remember the last thing on the list.\"\n\nDean Burnett is on Twitter as @garwboy and welcomes people with a short attention span.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12728, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "05ee19def2d9d4e218b73b99613bf54f206ea6da", "raw_chars": 2274, "clean_chars": 2270, "edit_ratio": 0.1008, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home to the Milwaukee Bucks, has a lease that runs until September 30, 2017. The NBA has deemed the Bradley Center unfit by their standards—a designation that basketball fans in Seattle are all too familiar with. The league has indicated that once that lease expires, the Bucks will be playing in a new arena, whether in Milwaukee or most likely in Seattle. However, what right does the NBA really have to make such threats?\n\nThe NBA is an LLC, a parent company to 30 different franchises, each one independently owned and operated. Leases are negotiated by teams and cities, not by the NBA. So, let's say September 30, 2017, comes and goes and Milwaukee has not built a new arena. What does the NBA do then?\n\nThey cannot force Herb Kohl to sell his team. They cannot take his team away from him. Some might point to George Shinn and the New Orleans Hornets, but Shinn was actually bought out; the team was not simply ripped away from him. So if Kohl and the Bradley Center Sports and Entertainment Corporation are both willing to extend the lease, what power does the NBA have?\n\nWhat can Adam Silver do if Herb Kohl says, \"No, I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay right here in this arena until I die\"? People might argue, \"Well, look at Seattle. The NBA forced them to move when they didn't build a new arena.\" The difference there is that by that point, they already had an owner who was more than willing to move the team. Kohl is not as inclined.\n\nSo again, if the NBA's deadline comes and goes and Kohl stands pat, what power does the NBA have? As far as I can tell, the answer is none.

Although, it would seemingly be a resolution in Milwaukee, even if it's not one that the NBA likes or agrees with, and could open the door to expansion for us. At the same time, it could also lead the NBA to continue to push Kohl to build a new arena and could drag the whole process out even further.\n\nGranted, none of this seems likely, but the truth is that if the NBA's strong-arm tactics don't work, and Kohl is willing to lose money, there's nothing they can do to make him move.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12739, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b701cd265db741f4c5af979f96e3a2276117cb04", "raw_chars": 1003, "clean_chars": 1038, "edit_ratio": 0.8413, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The 2014 eni FIM Superbike World Championship season is set to begin with a pleasant surprise for its fans: a completely new website.

There is also a reliance on extended family, and being very neighbourly is a given. That, along with the religious belief that “a guest is a gift from God,” helps make the country a delight for visitors; as soon as you have one Georgian friend, a whole world of friendship opens up. Anyone who visits Georgia will come away with memories of almost overwhelming hospitality.

English is also widely spoken as there is a large Armenian diaspora with a strong history of business that makes English language skills essential.\n\nBoth Armenia and Georgia stand at a crossroads of the Silk Road, where Europe and Asia met and blended. Aspects of both cultures can be found in customs, costumes, and faces even today. Armenia prides itself on being the first country in the world to become Christian, in 301 AD (a claim disputed by Ethiopia). More than 90 per cent of the population are nominally part of the Armenian Apostolic Church, but church attendance is low.\n\nTraditional family life is central to most people’s lives. The man is the head of the family and the eldest son is respected as the link to the next generation. Guests are treated as part of the family.\n\nMusic plays a big part in Armenian life, including traditional as well as more modern forms such as jazz.

Even so, I’m convinced that Niseko is probably the best ski resort in the world, so long as you can look beyond the bogans glassing each other on ‘Straya day. And don’t gaze too far into the future.\n\nThanks in part to the 2008 Chinese blockbuster Fei Cheng Wu Rao, a rom-com in which a beautiful stewardess shows a rich businessman the rugged beauty of Hokkaido, Chinese interest in the island has been piqued. Never mind that the Chinese and Japanese intensely dislike one another, a reported 80 percent of all condo buyers in Niseko two years ago were Chinese and Singaporean, and the list of swanky new accommodations catering to them is long, culminating, in five to ten years, with the opening of a $1.5 billion project that will feature 3,000 luxury condos, a Louis Vuitton store, and hot-air-balloon rides.\n\nThis mega-development will likely sour Niseko’s chilled-out vibe, a fact that concerns some of the locals I skied with over the course of the week. But my concerns are more immediate, like the fact that somehow I managed to visit just two onsens, roughly five fewer than I should have. And I haven’t soaked at the legendary Goshiki onsen, a lonely tub overflowing with hot spring water at the end of a backcountry run. Before I left for Japan, multiple pro skiers had insisted I visit.\n\nSo at two o’clock on my last day, despite the fact that another storm is blowing in, I’m determined to ski off the back side of the summit to Goshiki. I tromp into the clouds. In a whiteout at the top, I manage to find the ski patrol’s emergency hut, push open the ice-encrusted door, and wait. I’m not sure exactly how to get to Goshiki, so I hope that I can Jedi-mind-trick any savvy locals who might appear. A half-hour later, skinny Namioka, a software programmer, and plump Tetsushi, his boss at a company that automates oil refineries, arrive.\n\nI ask them how to reach Goshiki onsen and they carefully and clearly explain, in decent English, all the landmarks and turns.\n\n“Do I have to make any turns?” I ask.\n\n“Yes,” says Tetsushi, explaining again.\n\n“So I go this way?” I ask, gesturing vaguely into the clouds.\n\nAs I hoped, Namioka and Tetsushi offer to ditch their plans to ski back to the resort and instead agree to accompany me to Goshiki.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12769, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "4085059baccdb4839c28eedf1d5a5d4269d0da7e", "raw_chars": 2237, "clean_chars": 2261, "edit_ratio": 0.2361, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Angel Urena, press secretary for Bill Clinton, stated that requests for State Department input on potential meetings, talking points, and other information were made to inform the administration of President Clinton’s interactions with foreign governments and dignitaries.

Detectives realized that many of the bills were being spent along the route of the Lexington Avenue subway, which connected the East Bronx with the east side of Manhattan, including the German-Austrian neighborhood of Yorkville. On September 18, 1934, a Manhattan bank teller noticed a gold certificate from the ransom. A New York license plate number (4U-13-41-N.Y) penciled in the bill's margin allowed it to be traced to a nearby gas station. The station manager had written down the license number because his customer was acting \"suspicious\" and was \"possibly a counterfeiter.\" The license plate belonged to a sedan owned by Richard Hauptmann of 1279 East 222nd Street in the Bronx, an immigrant with a criminal record in Germany. When Hauptmann was arrested, he was carrying a single 20-dollar gold certificate, and over $14,000 of the ransom money was found in his garage.\n\nHauptmann was arrested, interrogated, and beaten at least once throughout the following day and night. Hauptmann stated that the money and other items had been left with him by his friend and former business partner Isidor Fisch. Fisch had died on March 29, 1934, shortly after returning to Germany. Hauptmann stated he learned only after Fisch's death that the shoe box that was left with him contained a considerable sum of money. He kept the money because he claimed that it was owed to him from a business deal that he and Fisch had made. Hauptmann consistently denied any connection to the crime or knowledge that the money in his house was from the ransom.\n\nWhen the police searched Hauptmann's home, they found a considerable amount of additional evidence that linked him to the crime. One item was a notebook that contained a sketch of the construction of a ladder similar to that which was found at the Lindbergh home in March 1932. John Condon's telephone number, along with his address, were discovered written on a closet wall in the house. A key piece of evidence, a section of wood, was discovered in the attic of the home. After being examined by an expert, it was determined to be an exact match to the wood used in the construction of the ladder found at the scene of the crime.\n\nHauptmann was indicted in the Bronx on September 24, 1934, for extorting the $50,000 ransom from Charles Lindbergh. Two weeks later, on October 8, 1934, Hauptmann was indicted in New Jersey for the murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. Two days later, he was surrendered to New Jersey authorities by New York Governor Herbert H. Lehman to face charges directly related to the kidnapping and murder of the child. Hauptmann was moved to the Hunterdon County Jail in Flemington, New Jersey, on October 19, 1934.\n\nTrial and execution\n\nAlternate theories", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12779, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "d19373d9d090fe46a9ccf459fe00beac6eb10f20", "raw_chars": 1010, "clean_chars": 1030, "edit_ratio": 0.2657, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Other examples include our brain size, which has been decreasing over the past 10,000 years.

Levania is divided into two hemispheres called Privolva and Subvolva. These two hemispheres are separated by the divisor. Privolva never sees Earth (referred to as Volva), while Subvolva sees Volva as its moon. Volva goes through the same phases as the actual Moon.\n\nThe daemon continues her descriptions of Subvolva and Privolva. Some of these details are scientific in nature, such as how eclipses would appear from the Moon, the apparent size of planets varying due to the Moon's distance from Earth, and theories regarding the size of the Moon. Other details of Levania are science fiction, including descriptions of the creatures inhabiting Subvolva and Privolva, plant growth on each side, and the life and death cycle of Levania.\n\nThe dream is cut short in the middle of the description of the creatures of Privolva. Kepler wakes up from the dream due to a storm outside. He then realizes that his head is covered and he is wrapped in blankets, just like the characters in his story.\n\nSomnium began as a student dissertation in which Kepler defended the Copernican doctrine of the motion of the Earth, suggesting that an observer on the Moon would find the planet's movements as clearly visible as the Moon's activity is to Earth's inhabitants. Nearly 20 years later, Kepler added the dream framework, and after another decade, he drafted a series of explanatory notes reflecting upon his turbulent career and the stages of his intellectual development. The book was edited by Ludwig Kepler and Jacob Bartsch after Kepler's death in 1630.\n\nThere are many similarities between Somnium and Kepler's real life. Duracotus spends a considerable amount of time working for Tycho Brahe, mirroring how Kepler worked under Tycho Brahe in 1600 before becoming Imperial Mathematician. Kepler's mother, Katharina Kepler, was arrested on charges of witchcraft, and Kepler fought for five years to free her. After her death, Kepler wrote extensive notes to explain his narrative. The book was published posthumously in 1634 by his son, Ludwig Kepler.\n\nKepler uses a daemon to describe the island of Levania in many scientific ways. The fixed stars are in the same position as the fixed stars seen from Earth. The planets appear larger from Levania than from Earth due to Levania's distance from Earth. Levania also sees planetary motions differently. For instance, Levania does not seem to move while Earth is seen to move, just as Earth does not seem to move when observed from Earth but the Moon is seen to move. This is an example of Kepler defending Copernicus's diurnal rotation. The inhabitants at the divisor see the planets differently from the rest of the Moon. Mercury and Venus specifically seem bigger to them.\n\nA day on Privolva is around 14 Earth days, sometimes less. Night on Privolva lasts 15 or 16 Earth days. During the nights, Privolva experiences intense cold and strong winds. During the day, it experiences extreme heat with no wind. During the night, water is pumped to Subvolva. During the Privolvan day, some of the water is pumped back to Privolva to protect its inhabitants from the intense heat.

Near the door were pictures of the 24 tirthankaras, who are supposed to grace each half of the cosmic time cycle in Jain cosmology.\n\nI was too lost in the beauty of the temple to notice that the sound of the recitation had stopped. All the children and their teacher had presumably finished their lessons and left the premises.\n\nLater, as my friend Iqbal Qaiser and I stood facing the turret of the temple at a shop, drinking a cool bottle of Pepsi, we were told by the shopkeeper that this temple, like other temples around Pakistan, was also attacked by fanatics in 1992 in reaction to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in India. However, the administration of the temple was able to dissuade the mob from causing much destruction. \"It is not a temple anymore. It is a madrassah,\" they had argued.\n\nJust a little outside the city, located on the top of a mound facing the walled city, once stood the temple of Bhagat Prahlad, the patron Hindu saint of the city of Multan. The wall of his temple touched the wall of the Muslim saint Shah Rukn-e-Alam's shrine, the new patron saint of Multan after the creation of Pakistan. This temple too was being used as a madrassah. After the riots, the madrassah was permanently shut while the temple suffered heavy losses.\n\nThe same is the story of the Sitla Mandir in Lahore.

This phenomenon involved adopting an ordoliberalism-based social market economy. The expression referring to this phenomenon was first used by The Times in 1950.\n\nThe Volkswagen Beetle became an icon of post-war West German reconstruction. One notable example was a one-off version manufactured to celebrate the production of a million cars of the type.\n\nThe era of economic growth raised West Germany and Austria from total wartime devastation to developed nations in modern Europe. At the founding of the European Common Market in 1957, West Germany's economic growth stood in contrast to the struggling conditions at the time in the United Kingdom.\n\nThe fundamental reason for the quick economic recovery of West Germany can be found in the ordoliberal growth model. West Germany had a skilled workforce and a high technological level in 1946, but its capital stock had largely been destroyed during and after the war. This small capital stock was compounded by the difficulty in converting the German economy to the production of civilian goods, as well as rampant monetary and regulatory problems, leading to an unusually low economic output during the first post-war years.\n\nThese initial problems were overcome by the time of the currency reform of 1948, which replaced the Reichsmark with the Deutsche Mark as legal tender, halting rampant inflation. This act to strengthen the West German economy had been explicitly forbidden during the two years that JCS 1067 was in effect. JCS 1067 had directed the U.S. forces of occupation in West Germany to \"take no steps looking toward the economic rehabilitation of Germany.\"\n\nBeginning with the replacement of the Reichsmark with the Deutsche Mark in 1948 as legal tender (the Schilling was similarly re-established in Austria), a lasting period of low inflation and rapid industrial growth was overseen by the government led by West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his Minister of Economics, Ludwig Erhard, who went down in history as the \"father of the German economic miracle.\" In Austria, efficient labor practices led to a similar period of economic growth.\n\nAt the same time, the government, following Erhard's advice, cut taxes sharply on moderate incomes. Walter Heller, a young economist with the U.S. occupation forces who was later to become chairman of President Kennedy's Council of Economic Advisers, wrote in 1949 that to \"remove the repressive effect of extremely high rates, Military Government Law No. 64 cut a wide swath across the German tax system at the time of the currency reform.\" Individual income tax rates, in particular, fell dramatically. Previously the tax rate on any income over 6,000 Deutschmark had been 95 percent. After tax reform, this 95 percent rate applied only to annual incomes above 250,000 Deutschmark. For the West German with an annual income of about 2,400 Deutschmark in 1950, the marginal tax rate fell from 85 percent to 18 percent.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12818, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "479cab5ab507f17717a6ddd6b70d2e0781e149ba", "raw_chars": 2992, "clean_chars": 2935, "edit_ratio": 0.2205, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Brave GentleMan and Gristle Tattoo founders join forces to make a game-changing new vegan cheese brand! If you follow the Discerning Brute on Instagram, you may have seen his exciting announcement: a new vegan cheese company is fermenting in Brooklyn. It’s called RIND, and it’s a joint effort between Joshua Katcher, the Discerning Brute himself and founder of Brave GentleMan, and Dina DiCenso, founder of the one and only Gristle Tattoo. As a vegan cheese devotee, I immediately emailed Joshua and bombarded him with a zillion questions, and he was kind enough to answer. Here’s the dirt!\n\nMegan Rascal: What is the significance of the primordial process? Like, what difference does that make? I don’t know what it is.\n\nJoshua Katcher: Without giving away our trade secrets, the “primordial process” is that we allow the microorganisms to create the rind and flavors over time, rather than trying to “flavor” something to taste like cheese using seasoning. These processes are very similar to how traditional European-style cheeses are made.\n\nMR: I’m getting that there will be a legit rind like dairy cheeses have, then will it be creamy inside?\n\nJK: Yes! You’re correct.\n\nMR: Is the cheese nut-based, soy-based or?\n\nJK: There are both nuts and soy in it.\n\nMR: I see the dark coloring on the rind in the pics, what’s that from?\n\nJK: That is the formation of the natural rind. It grows on the cheese over time, releasing all sorts of luscious flavors.\n\nMR: Is it mostly for cheese platters and eating straight or do you imagine it’ll be used for cooking and baking as well?\n\nJK: I’d say that this is a cheese to appreciate on its own, or with good bread and fresh fruit. It’s the kind of cheese you’ll want to eat with a glass of wine, or alone with a fork (haha, kidding, but really, you can do that). But if someone wants to cook with it, go for it! There’s plenty of vegan cheese on the market intended for toppings and cooking, and that’s just not RIND.\n\nMR: Which dairy cheese varieties are your cheeses reminiscent of?\n\nJK: We’ve come up with a proprietary blend in order to appeal to anyone who traditionally would love brie, camembert, bleu and other mold-rind cheeses.\n\nMR: WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE?!?!?!\n\nJK: We are working towards a b2b operation, so you’ll get to have it at some fine NYC restaurants this year.\n\nMR: You’re accepting investors, how could a potential backer get involved?\n\nJK: We want investors who have experience in the innovative-food space. We’re hoping to get an operation going to scale production in Brooklyn. Email us at saycheese@rind.nyc to set up an appointment to talk to us.\n\nThere you have it. I guess I’ll have to wait for a bit to try RIND. I don’t know if you guys know this, but I’m terribly impatient when it comes to vegan cheese.

Our research indicates that countercyclical fiscal policies tend to mitigate the adverse effects of GDP crises on social indicators, including poverty, income inequality, unemployment, and domestic conflict. Conversely, austerity policies tend to exacerbate all of these social indicators.\n\nThis evidence supports the desirability of pursuing expansionary fiscal policies during times of distress, which may involve postponing necessary structural fiscal adjustments for a period, rather than embarking on fiscal austerity in the midst of a recession.\n\nThe choice of 1998 as a reference point, while admittedly arbitrary, seems natural for several reasons. First, formal regressions detect a shift in fiscal policy during the late 1990s. Second, 1998 was a year without any crises, providing a clean break. Third, a reasonably long window was needed for the post-1998 period. This average behavior, however, masks significant heterogeneity across countries. Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru demonstrated countercyclical fiscal and/or monetary policy responses to crises in the post-1998 period. Not coincidentally, these are countries often praised in the financial press for considerably improving their macroeconomic management over the years, with Chile standing out as a leader in this \"graduation\" movement. At the other end of the spectrum, countries like Argentina, Venezuela, and, more surprisingly, Uruguay continued to exhibit procyclical fiscal policies in the post-1998 period.\n\nThe European sample comprises Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.

J. Wellington Rommefeller here to bestow upon you yet another elegant evaluation of the video game persuasion. This week I’ll be reviewing “Catherine”, a game I first caught wind of in a short online blurb that unceremoniously dubbed it a “porn puzzler”. Understandably, I was shocked and a bit put off by this somewhat profane description and dismissed it as a game I was not likely to play. Last week, however, a good chum urged me to download the demo and give the game a shot. The demo was short, only twenty minutes or so, but the story and gameplay intrigued me enough to throw presupposition into the wind and opt to rent the title. Was the demo my gateway into an unexpectedly wonderful experience, or would the “porn puzzler” have me sighing and cringing at my television as I did all through the cut scenes in Final Fantasy X-2?\n\nCatherine is a difficult game to define. It’s part dating sim and part puzzler, but far less awful than that description makes it sound. In fact, I would say the dating sim component alone is far better than one would expect within that genre. The game begins with its protagonist, Vincent, being pressured by his long-time girlfriend Katherine to pop the proverbial question. Vincent, the quintessential indecisive 30-something, balks at the idea of marriage and seeks escape at his favorite grimy watering hole. One drunken encounter with a blonde, drill-haired hussy, oddly also named Catherine, throws his world for a loop and he finds himself forced to choose between the two ladies.\n\nTo add to that stress, every time Vincent sleeps he is plagued by nightmares in which he is a frightened sheep who must use heavy square blocks to build stairs, ascending tall towers quickly enough to avoid falling to his death below. Sound vexing? It is! And it is wonderful! The story does an incredible job of building and maintaining tension, through both the nightmares and the cut scenes. As Vincent tries to sort out his relationship with the two women, he must take great care to ensure they never learn of one another, leading to frequent anxious and potentially compromising situations. As pedestrian as the story of a cheater who must hide his misdeeds sounds, Catherine does a particularly good job of drumming up feelings of pity and concern for Vincent, effectively transferring his desperation to the player. This fact is not surprising, however, as Atlus has a history of creating games with wonderful narratives, such as the Shin Megami Tensei series and Radiant Historia. The story is also helped along by a “morality meter” which tips toward good or evil depending on the player’s actions and choices during the game. These decisions allow the player to identify with Vincent even more, as their choices directly lead to certain consequences in the game. The player’s preferences also conclude in one of eight separate endings, giving the game replay value and providing a reason to go back and play as dastardly, honestly, or amiably as you may desire.\n\nA smashing story can only be supported by equally entertaining gameplay, and Atlus does not fall short here either.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12829, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d2fb65d960bd1b7eb33e7d087ade90ea9cf9d3f9", "raw_chars": 3481, "clean_chars": 2835, "edit_ratio": 0.8661, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "CES 2017 in Las Vegas has provided a clear glimpse into the automotive technology expected to dominate the year. Among the most notable announcements are a host of new aftermarket in-dash entertainment systems that natively support Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto platforms. These devices are being introduced by well-known and respected manufacturers such as Alpine, JVC, KENWOOD, and others.\n\nAs major automobile manufacturers increasingly adopt CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features in new vehicles, these platforms are poised to become ubiquitous globally. However, aftermarket devices designed to retrofit older or new vehicles lacking native support are also expected to see significant popularity. Recognizing this demand, companies like JVC, KENWOOD, Clarion, Pioneer, and Alpine used CES 2017 to showcase their latest compatible hardware.\n\nKENWOOD unveiled the DMX7740S, a unit compatible with both CarPlay and Android Auto. It features a large resistive display panel, a built-in SiriusXM satellite radio, integrated Bluetooth, and a 13-band equalizer. The system also supports the KENWOOD Remote iPhone app and can link to the company’s DRV-N520 dashboard camera. The DMX7740S is scheduled to ship next month with a price tag of $500.\n\nJVC presented the KW-M730BT, another in-dash unit featuring a 6.8-inch resistive display. Like the KENWOOD model, it includes a built-in SiriusXM satellite radio and support for rear-view cameras. It offers both CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with built-in Bluetooth. A notable feature is its virtual viewing adjustment, which uses a dedicated algorithm to correct the display angle for installations that are not perfectly straight relative to the driver. The KW-M730BT will also begin shipping next month for $500.\n\nAlpine showcased the iLX-107, a high-end unit priced around $900. It features a 7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen with LED backlighting. The iLX-107 is one of the first units to fully support wireless CarPlay, allowing users to interact with the system without tethering their devices to the vehicle. However, it does not support Android Auto and is limited to Apple’s CarPlay.\n\nClarion entered the market with the NX807, which supports both CarPlay and Android Auto and features a 7-inch WVGA touchscreen. The unit includes tilt control and two standout features: an optical digital output for plug-and-play integration with Clarion’s Full Digital Sound processor, and 2-Zone Entertainment, which allows rear-seat passengers to enjoy a separate audio source from the front.

Supporters of the plan argue that dismantling the so-called north loop and the I-70 link to Kansas City, Kansas, would save money by removing a costly stretch of bridges and pavement. Additionally, it would reconnect neighborhoods surrounding downtown and free up land for new development.\n\nThe proposed changes would make the downtown area more walkable, with some bridges and right-of-way areas potentially transformed into urban pathways. These paths would connect to existing trails at Kaw Point to the west and Columbus Park to the east. \"The biggest benefit is reconnecting the street grid,\" said Eric Bunch, policy director for BikeWalkKC. \"River Market has been disconnected from downtown for decades. This is an opportunity to bring it back together. Redevelop that land so it’s seamless for a person on a streetcar, who’s walking, who’s in a car, there’s no longer that big, wide, ugly gap between downtown and River Market. This would have an amazing effect of reconnecting that urban fabric.\"\n\nThe idea of converting the I-70 bridge into Kansas City, Kansas, into an elevated bicycle and pedestrian trail mirrors efforts in other cities, as urban freeway removal has become a growing trend.

They're operating barber shops and beauty salons, they're working to build Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant, they're going to see the Detroit City Football Club soccer team play at Cass Technical High School.\n\nBeyond the abandoned train station and empty Packard Plant is a city slowly making its way back from the brink.

Relax. You're in Detroit. It's a city, an American city. It's going through a tough time, sure. Detroit's problems show themselves more than other cities. But assess: Why are you in Detroit?

The great migration out of the rural South that began before World War I coupled with opportunities within the automotive industry made Detroit an enduring stronghold of African-American culture. The city of Detroit is home to one of the largest collectives of black artists, and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History houses one of the world's best-curated collections of art from the African diaspora.\n\nAlso consider checking out the African Bead Museum, the Shrine of the Black Madonna bookstore and cultural center and pockets of mostly black-owned boutiques, galleries and eateries on the Avenue of Fashion along the northern portion of Livernois Avenue on the city's northwest side.\n\nTour Elmwood Cemetery. There are no more calming places anywhere than cemeteries, but Elmwood is special because of the haunting, Gothic monuments among lush, tree-lined paths. The founding fathers of Detroit -- and Michigan -- are buried here. And while you're on this side of town, head over to Indian Village, the city's premier historic district that once served as home to some of the area's wealthiest auto barons where houses still are maintained and occupied by many of the city's power brokers. Or stop for some coffee at one of the cafes in nearby West Village.\n\nWalk Pallister Avenue.

He believes it needs to match up more fiercely against what he has described as a \"sophisticated\" and well-financed \"right-wing conglomerate.\"\n\nSupported by his own donor network, Carville has created a menagerie of liberal opposition and attack groups that fill two floors of warehouse-style office space in Washington, D.C.\n\nThe downtown space includes the American Bridge super-PAC and its nonprofit arm, the press watchdog Media Matters, and the pro-Clinton super-PAC Correct the Record.\n\nIn all, the groups are employing more than 60 full-time staffers, with 10 of them spending all their time investigating the business and political interests of the Koch brothers.\n\nAmerican Bridge also deploys another 26 full-time \"trackers\" who shadow Republican candidates and people connected to the Kochs.

Unlike strings, two symbols whose names are spelled identically are never distinguishable. Symbols are useful for many applications; for instance, they may be used in a manner similar to how enumerated values are used in other programming languages.\n\nPairs and Lists\n\nA pair is a data structure with two components. The most common use of pairs is to represent singly linked lists, where the first component (the car) represents the first element of the list, and the second component (the cdr) represents the rest of the list. Scheme also has a distinguished empty list, which serves as the final cdr in a chain of pairs that form a list.\n\nVectors\n\nVectors, like lists, are linear data structures representing finite sequences of arbitrary objects. Whereas the elements of a list are accessed sequentially through the chain of pairs representing it, the elements of a vector are addressed by integer indices. Thus, vectors are more appropriate than lists for random access to elements.\n\nExpressions\n\nThe most important elements of Scheme code are expressions. Expressions can be evaluated, producing a value. The most fundamental expressions are literal expressions. For example, the expression #t evaluates to #t, which is the value for \"true,\" and the expression 23 evaluates to a number object representing the number 23.\n\nCompound expressions are formed by placing parentheses around their subexpressions. The first subexpression identifies an operation, and the remaining subexpressions are operands to that operation. In the expression (+ 23 42), + is the name of the built-in operation for addition, and 23 and 42 are the operands. This expression reads as \"the sum of 23 and 42.\"\n\nCompound expressions can be nested. For instance, the expression (+ 14 (* 23 42)) reads as \"the sum of 14 and the product of 23 and 42.\" As these examples indicate, compound expressions in Scheme are always written using prefix notation. As a consequence, parentheses are needed to indicate structure. Consequently, \"superfluous\" parentheses, which are often permissible in mathematical notation and many programming languages, are not allowed in Scheme.\n\nAs in many other languages, whitespace (including line endings) is not significant when it separates subexpressions of an expression, and can be used to indicate structure.\n\nInfinity\n\nIt is possible to deal with infinity in Scheme. Here is how we represent infinity:\n\n+inf.0\n\nEvery number is less than infinity:\n\n(< 999999999 +inf.0)\n\nAnd when we add a number to infinity, the result remains infinity:\n\n(= +inf.0 (+ 999 +inf.0))\n\nVariables and Binding\n\nScheme allows identifiers to stand for locations containing values. These identifiers are called variables. In many cases, specifically when the location's value is never modified after its creation, it is useful to think of the variable as standing for the value directly.\n\nThe expression (let ((x 23) (y 42)) (+ x y)) is a binding construct. The parenthesized structure following let lists variables alongside expressions: the variable x alongside 23, and the variable y alongside 42. The let expression binds x to 23, and y to 42. These bindings are available in the body of the let expression, (+ x y), and only there.\n\nDefinitions", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12873, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "400e4cccc4bcd1f95bc295f44b4af96c94899954", "raw_chars": 3475, "clean_chars": 3351, "edit_ratio": 0.0431, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Wa-kuo is situated in the middle of the great ocean, southeast of Paekche and Silla, three thousand li away by water and land.

According to the Nihongi, when Imoko returned from China, he apologized to Suiko for losing Yang's letter because Korean men \"searched me and took it from me.\" When the Empress received Pei, he presented a proclamation (tr. Aston 1972 2:137-8) contrasting Chinese Huángdì 皇帝, \"Emperor,\" with Wōwáng 倭王, \"Wa King,\" stating, \"The Emperor [皇帝] greets the Sovereign of Wa [倭王].\" According to the Nihongi, Suiko gave Pei a different version of the imperial letter, contrasting Japanese Tennō 天皇, \"Japanese Emperor,\" and Kōtei 皇帝, \"Emperor\" (Chinese tiānhuáng and huángdì) instead of using \"Son of Heaven.\"\n\n\"The Emperor [天皇] of the East respectfully addresses the Emperor [皇帝] of the West.

If successful, this technology could transform food production, shifting meat manufacturing from a farming process to a factory process.\n\nProfessor Post is not the first to envision this possibility. In the mid-20th century, Dutch medical student Willem van Eelen dreamed of creating meat without killing animals using stem cells. A stem cell is a unique cell type capable of extensive self-replication and differentiation into specialized cells, such as muscle cells. Dr. van Eelen pursued this idea for decades with limited progress until he was granted a patent in 1999, which gradually drew global attention.\n\nIn 2002, NASA showed interest in the concept and funded Morris Benjaminson at Touro College in New York to explore growing meat from muscle cells as a potential food source for astronauts on deep-space missions. Dr. Benjaminson extracted cells from a goldfish's muscle and successfully grew them outside the fish. The resulting fillet was marinated in garlic, lemon, pepper, and olive oil, then deep-fried. Testers noted that it smelled and looked like real meat, but they were prohibited from eating it due to U.S. laws banning the consumption of experimental products. NASA eventually ceased funding Dr. Benjaminson, deciding there were simpler and cheaper ways to feed astronauts.\n\nIn 2005, Dr. van Eelen secured €2 million in government support for test-tube meat research. Several projects were launched: one focused on coaxing embryonic stem cells into muscle cells, another investigated methods to increase muscle growth, and a third explored optimal growth media for lab-grown steaks. However, the funding recently ran out, leading to a scaling down of these projects.\n\nEarlier this year, an anonymous philanthropist contacted Professor Post, who had previously worked with Dr. van Eelen's colleagues, and offered to fund him to create a hamburger from cultured pork. Professor Post noted that it would likely be the most expensive hamburger ever produced. The motivation behind this effort is clear when considering the environmental impact of meat production. Livestock farming accounts for approximately 18% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions, surpassing emissions from the transportation sector. Breeding animals for meat is widely considered inefficient and environmentally damaging.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12908, "chunk_idx": 5, "raw_sha1": "b80d791190aea39099b90864f92660e0b014be08", "raw_chars": 2640, "clean_chars": 2818, "edit_ratio": 0.417, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "For $4.50, you can get the Chicken Fricassee with Green Asparagus and Peas served with Uncle Ben’s Rice Pilaf. It is a strange choice to pair Oma’s cooking from the motherland with microwavable rice cups, but I always say that is the reality. The portion size is decent for the money, relatively speaking. You get several hearty pieces of chicken hiding underneath the peas, asparagus, and onion, resting on a solid base of rice. Unfortunately, I found the chicken to be grossly under-seasoned, and the sauce offered only a bland creaminess over what are likely frozen vegetables. It is not great, but it is more filling for the money than most of what we have seen so far. The taste received a 4 out of 10, while the value scored a 5 out of 10.\n\nNext is the $5 Currywurst with Paprika Chips, featuring a Roasted Bratwurst with Curry Ketchup and Paprika-spiced Chips. It is a heaping portion for the money, with something like ten slices of sausage and a generous handful of paprika chips. Longtime readers may remember that for a short time back in 2013, Sommerfest, the quick-service location in Germany, served a very similar tray of Currywurst for $9. The Flower and Garden version is nearly identical in size and vastly improved in flavor. The pork sausage is tender with a little snap in each bite from the casing. On the downside, the cast member in charge of the ketchup poured way too much on the dish, covering the currywurst and causing the paprika chips—which probably should not really come into contact with the ketchup at all—to become extremely soggy. If you order this, you may want to refuse the first serving they offer and ask for the ketchup to be placed more on the side of the sausage. Otherwise, as it stands, this is probably the best food value at the Festival. You also get a cute little green Epcot swizzle stick poked into one of the pieces. The taste received a 7 out of 10, and the value scored a perfect 10 out of 10.\n\nThe $3.75 \"Arme Ritter,\" or Egg Battered Toast with Cherry Compote and Powdered Sugar, is probably on the receiving end of the prettiest-looking and most vibrant dish. Literally translating to \"poor knights\" and something we would both probably call French toast, the Arme Ritter consists of a couple of bites of fluffy bread that soaks up a generous, heaping portion of mostly tart cherries, which are then sweetened with powdered sugar. I thought the bread itself could have used some cinnamon, nutmeg, or something to make it taste a little more lively. Almost all of the flavor here comes from the cherries. Still, this is a relatively light dessert and is fabulous after enjoying the other more savory dishes. It is good for the money, and hopefully, you will do better on the bread itself.

The flavor is better than most of Mexico’s previous entries on the shrimp taco front. The sauce has a zesty, peppery spice to it, and the caramelized onions in the viscous sauce help bring that out even more. The subtle, berry-sweet flavor of the hibiscus flower is probably overpowered by everything else, but it does provide a nice punch of color on top. Overall, even for the Festival, this is easily $1.25 overpriced. At $4.50, I’d say go ahead and order one.

At the time, I said that entry “might be the worst value at any booth.” This year, I’m willing to go on the record and say it’s absolutely the worst value at any booth. The price is outrageous and insulting for what you receive. This is maybe, maybe three inches long by two inches wide, and it’s filled with maybe 12 cents worth of mushroom and zucchini specks.

Allow me to cut the snobbery for a moment and say that this isn’t a bad light macro with the usual sweet grainy corn flavor, perhaps watered down a bit more than usual with the low alcohol content. It’s certainly a light option for those that don’t want to fill up on the (superior) beer ahead in Germany. On the value front, it’s a little better than the Red Stripe—more expensive in stores and it’s on draft here.\n\n$9 buys you the very pink Rosa Margarita filled to the brim with ice and then dispensed from a vat that La Cava would probably like to get their hands on after the Festival concludes. On the mixed drink front, it’s not terrible compared to what you’ll find elsewhere, and you can actually taste the (extremely cheap) tequila at the front of each sip before it’s washed away with the cloyingly sweet syrup.

Where could the consumer turn to in search of pure and unadultered \"Premium\" Demerara rum? The answer for many has been with independent bottlers. In Europe, you are far better served than in the US or indeed the rest of the world. For many, the pinnacle of unadultered Premium Demerara rum comes in the form of single cask or barrel offerings from the likes of Velier, Silver Seal, and Samaroli. It is fair to say that these rums offer a very different proposition, especially when compared to El Dorado 12, for example. Many will not fully appreciate such rums, nor will they appreciate the price tags.\n\nThe independent bottling scene is not a cheap area to start a rum journey in. Prices frequently hit £100 and above. The resale value of now unavailable or scarce bottlings by the likes of Velier can hit up to 10 times their original retail price once they have sold out from official channels. The Italian version of eBay is perhaps the best place to see these auctions taking place.\n\nWhilst the latest \"Premium\" offerings from the likes of Olivier & Olivier, Diageo, or our good friends over at Bacardi (the group offers a lot more than just rum) continue to be trotted out at breakneck speed, the independents are also growing, albeit at a much slower rate. Brands such as Mezan, The Rum Swedes, and Compagnie Des Indes have emerged on the scene. Often, these newer, less established bottlers offer rum at prices lower than the more established ones.\n\nHowever, it is not to say that independent bottlings are always 100% pure and unadulterated. It is not completely unheard of for some £100-plus rums from independent bottlers to also have the \"devil\" of added sugar.\n\nDespite the amount of coverage given to added sugar in rum, it can be easy to forget that many of the Caribbean's more longstanding producers, such as Foursquare, Appleton, and particularly those from the French-speaking islands such as Guadeloupe and Martinique, still produce a pure product and can be relied upon (most of the time). These can still offer some truly outstanding unadulterated rums, often at much cheaper prices than the independent bottlers.\n\nSo where are we at the present time? In this piece, I touched upon the contents of the bottle being more of an issue with rum than the actual marketing. Multi-million pound marketing from the likes of Diageo and Bacardi means they continue to dominate the entry-level, spiced, and flavored market in particular. New brands of rum from the likes of Oliver & Olivier seem to pop up almost every other week, and I can think of many press releases from the likes of Papar's Pilar, Tiburon Rum, and Deadhead Rum promising new and exciting well-aged \"Premium\" rums. Attractive bottles and schmaltzy marketing are all thrown in with the price! Don Pancho Fernandez seems to have a new blend of rum with a different marketing story for sale just about every other week. Marketing does still work to a degree, but there are more and more rum enthusiasts who are turning their backs on such shenanigans.\n\nTo be honest, for anyone willing to take a little time out and truly explore the rum market, it is possible to ensure you are getting an unadulterated product.

Choose classes that help you explore your passions, but also make sure to take as many research methods and statistics courses as possible, as these will provide the best preparation for graduate school.\n\nKeep your grades strong. When selecting research assistants, I have found that grades are the most important predictor of a good research assistant. I believe this is because grades are a mark not only of a high degree of competence but also of being responsible and dependable. You may want to retake classes in which you did poorly and definitely make the extra effort to get your GPA as high as possible, because this will be a huge factor in whether you get admitted to your dream program. If you had some hiccups along the way, you can briefly explain this in the cover letter of your application. If you think research methods or statistics classes are not your best subjects and could hurt your GPA, you could also consider taking them the semester after your applications have been submitted, when your grades no longer really matter.\n\nRock the GRE (or the major test in your field). Like research experience and GPA, the GRE (or the equivalent in your field) is taken very seriously. Invest the time and money to get books, classes, or materials to ensure you do very well. Not finishing is actually what hurts the scores of a lot of people, so make sure to do plenty of practice tests.\n\nFind someone with a current track record of success. Now that you know what you are interested in and have prepared yourself for success, it is time to find a good advisor who matches your research interests. If you were a carpenter looking for someone to teach you how to build good tables, would you choose someone who was constantly building several good tables all the time, or someone who had not really built many tables at all? That is a stupid, obvious question, right? This is why it is crucial to examine the curriculum vitae of potential graduate advisors, which includes a list of publications and is most always available online. Some professors may have previously been productive but are now coasting, sailing off into the sunset as it were, and not doing much research anymore. You do not want to work with these people, so their recent record should be the most important to you. If you want to be productive, you need to learn from someone who is productive.\n\nContact the professor and talk to his students. I will admit that this is the step that I messed up on, and it cost me dearly. I went to a program in which I had four or five people that I thought I could work well with. I thought it would all work out, but as it turns out, none of those people were taking students that year, so I was put with someone whose research interests I did not share, and I eventually had to switch programs. I wish now that I had emailed these professors to find out whether they were taking students and whether they were interested in me. Making this contact is important, because if they are taking students and are interested in you, they will go to bat for you to get you into the program, and this could make all the difference for you. If you are finding a potential match, I would contact some of his students to find out what it is like to work for him.

All interactions with the system should faithfully represent both the intent and authority of the operator.\n\nParticipants in the DRM debate implicitly hold the view that the ownership of your operating system, your personal information, and your media is a complex, joint relationship between you, your operating system vendor, the authors of the applications you run, and the owners of any media that pass through that application. Prevailing wisdom is that the way any given software behaves should be jointly determined by all these parties, factoring in all their interests, and that the argument is simply a matter of degree: who should be given how much control, and by what mechanism.\n\nI don't like to think of myself as an extremist, but on this issue, I can find no other position to take. When I hear lawmakers, commercial software developers, and even other open source programmers, asking questions like, \"how much control should we afford to content producers in media playback programs?\", I cannot help but think of Charles Babbage. On two occasions I have been asked by members of Parliament, \"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?\" I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. The \"you don't own your computer\" paradigm is not merely wrong. It is violently, disastrously wrong, and the consequences of this error are likely to be felt for generations to come, unless steps are taken to prevent it.\n\nComputer programmers need a socially, and legally recognized code of professional ethics, to which we can be held accountable.

After all, since 2002 FCC chairs of both parties believed that at a minimum, FCC policy should ensure that consumers are able to access the content, applications, and services of their choosing without interference by gatekeeping broadband providers.\n\nNot Pai. In doing away with the 2015 rules that prohibit broadband providers from discriminating against or favoring certain content, applications and services (that is, no blocking, no throttling, no fast lanes and a general rule against discrimination), Pai has radically departed from bipartisan FCC precedent. This opens the door for companies like Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, and Charter to pick winners and losers on the Internet by controlling which online companies get faster and better quality of service and at what price.\n\nSounds bad, right? Believe it or not, the proposed order is worse than that.\n\nThe proposed order would leave broadband providers largely if not completely free of oversight.\n\nWhile there's a lot of focus on repeal of the rules, even more damaging is the proposal to reverse the FCC's decision under Tom Wheeler to classify broadband Internet access as an essential \"telecommunications service\" subject to Title II of the Communications Act. Without such a ruling, the 2015 rules would not have been possible in the first place.\n\nReversing that classification would do more than invalidate the rules. It would also remove the FCC's ability to protect consumers and competition in the broadband market. Among other things, Title II gives the FCC the legal power to protect consumers from fraudulent billing, price gouging, anticompetitive behavior, data breaches, and other practices that violate users' privacy.\n\nChairman Pai's answer is that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) \"will once again be able to police ISPs, protect consumers, and promote competition, just as it did before 2015.\" What he doesn't say is that the FTC, unlike the FCC, doesn't have the power to make rules that protect consumers and innovators before they are harmed. Nor does he say that the FTC's authority wouldn't prohibit fast lanes, blocking or throttling so long as the broadband provider tells you it's engaging in those practices.\n\nFinally, there's nothing the FTC can do if one day your broadband provider decides to double its prices. As FTC Commissioner Terrell McSweeny testified earlier this month: \"[i]t is wrong to assume that a framework that relies solely on backward-looking consumer protection and antitrust enforcement can provide the same assurances to innovators and consumers as the forward-looking rules contained in the FCC's Open Internet Order.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12970, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "04f80356f681b6b550876362b8372a55f94aadad", "raw_chars": 1767, "clean_chars": 1778, "edit_ratio": 0.0296, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "He repeated his trick at clubs in Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and France, living for years as a professional footballer without ever playing a match.\n\nSome of the stories of how he dodged lineups have become legendary.

From the Sheffield Wednesday match-fixing scandal of the 1960s to Ali Dia and his Southampton contract, the sport has been plagued by people looking to swell their own bank accounts and make themselves famous. One man stands out among the pack, though: Carlos Henrique, known as \"The Kaiser,\" a man who played for some of the biggest South American and French clubs while doing his utmost to avoid ever having to play a professional football match in his life.\n\nCarlos had much the same dreams as anyone with a love of the game. Growing up as a football fan in the wake of Brazil's stunning success in the 1970 World Cup, Carlos wanted to emulate his heroes on the pitch. He showed some talent and was even brought on trial by Puebla FC, a then-Mexican First Division side. The only problem with Carlos' dream was that he wasn't good enough to make the grade and was released without ever playing a match.\n\nDetermined to pursue his footballing career, he returned to Rio de Janeiro and, in the nightclubs of the city, befriended some of the brightest Brazilian talents of the era, among them Bebeto, Romario, and Renato Gaucho. Carlos took well to the nightlife of a famous footballer and used his new-found contacts to further his career prospects. Enlisting the help of his friends, Carlos was able to secure a three-month trial contract with Botafogo that gave them the option of playing him in league matches. He had the physique and natural fitness of an athlete, so first impressions of him were favourable.\n\nBut Carlos knew that he would be required to play in a practice match soon, and so he came up with a simple but effective way of prolonging his Botafogo career: he feigned injury. The story goes that Carlos asked for a few weeks of fitness training before playing his first match. He told the club that he was a natural striker due to his speed, so the coaches gave him some time. When the time came for a match, Carlos asked for the first ball played to him to be played a number of yards ahead of him. He chased it and fell to the ground clutching his hamstring, insisting he had torn it. Medical technology being what it was in the 1980s, there was no way of disproving the claim, and so Carlos went to the treatment table.\n\nAs a ruse, it worked well. He remained a Botafogo player on their payroll, and, of course, during this period, Carlos would hit all the nightclubs with his teammates and enjoy the company of the many women who were looking to meet a professional footballer. He even enhanced his own reputation by pretending to speak English on his own mobile phone to admiring European clubs in front of his teammates and the Botafogo staff. This lasted until the club doctor, fluent in English, realised that the now-nicknamed Kaiser wasn't able to speak English at all. Sneaking a look at the mobile phone, the doctor realised that it was nothing more than a toy.\n\nKaiser, like all great con men, had a knack of knowing when it was time to move on. He left Botafogo and used his footballer friends to secure him a new contract, this time at Flamengo. Using the same fitness-to-injury routine, he was able to gain months of employment and fame from the club before moving on again.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 12978, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "42b239bff1adceae812aad38cd6ac4bc83e6632c", "raw_chars": 1347, "clean_chars": 1356, "edit_ratio": 0.377, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Alan Watts began his training in writing and public speaking while attending King's College School in Canterbury, with the goal of becoming an Anglican priest.

The police serve as a moral anchor, constantly reminding readers that the world of the story is deeply flawed. They emphasize the value of every life, ensuring that when criminals and unstable individuals appear, readers remember that each murdered civilian had a life that ended abruptly. The series underscores the gravity of killing, as the police officers rarely resort to lethal force and, when they do, face serious moral dilemmas—even when the victim is a mass murderer. They are among the few characters who openly dislike Kuroko, viewing her as a necessary evil in the face of the super-powered and highly skilled monsters they regularly encounter. Essentially, they are some of the only people in the series who recognize how wrong things have become, lending the story a surprising air of seriousness at times. While a few other characters share this awareness, most of the cast is disturbingly unfeeling when it comes to matters of death. These are not minor characters; they appear frequently and are definitely major figures.\n\nIt is an interesting choice by Yoshimura-sensei to give the police such significance. In many other action series, the narrative would likely avoid moralizing, instead delighting in wanton violence and chaos. This series contains elements of that, but the presence of the police introduces a counterpoint. This aspect is something I appreciate, though it does not seem to be discussed often enough.\n\nIt is worth noting that Kuroko herself seems largely indifferent, even when a little girl is in danger or when many others have already died. She can come across as a bad person. However, because Kuroko is often so relaxed, it becomes easier to process the dark events unfolding around her. The series does not feel overly \"edgy\" despite the grim content; it has a unique, somewhat detached vibe.\n\nAs I wind down, I have no real complaints about this series, so I will offer a few more praises. Murcielago is incredibly stylish.\n\nYoshimura-sensei clearly enjoys experimenting with weird perspectives, bold style choices, and absolutely insane choreography.

Yet, it is awesome. Why is it included?

Shkreli, who faces up to 20 years in prison for securities fraud, apologized in writing, stating that he did not expect anyone to take his online comments seriously. His attorneys pleaded with the judge on Wednesday to give him another chance.\n\n“The fact that he continues to remain unaware of the inappropriateness of his actions or words demonstrates to me that he may be creating ongoing risk to the community,” said U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto in revoking his bond. “This is a solicitation of assault. That is not protected by the First Amendment.”\n\nShkreli, wearing a lavender button-down shirt and slacks, was taken into custody immediately after the hour-long hearing. He did not appear to react to the judge’s decision, though he seemed more nervous than when he entered court. He also refused to ride the elevator with one reporter, dismissing them as “fake news.”\n\nBy early Thursday morning, Shkreli had been assigned an inmate number at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.\n\nShkreli, 34, is best known for raising the price of an AIDS drug by 5,000 percent, but he was convicted by a Brooklyn jury of defrauding investors in his hedge funds. Prosecutors argued that Shkreli lied to obtain investors’ money and then failed to inform them when a bad stock bet led to massive losses. Instead, they said, he raised more money to pay off other investors or took money and stock from Retrophin, a pharmaceutical company he was running.\n\nShkreli, who has indicated that he will appeal his conviction, argued at trial that he ultimately made money for his investors and did not intend to defraud them.\n\nInstead of shrinking from the public outrage that has followed him for two years, Shkreli has mounted an erratic and sometimes outrageous online defense of himself, appearing to revel in the negative attention.\n\nHis 70,000 Facebook followers do not take his statements seriously, said Shkreli’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman. “He did not intend to cause harm,” Brafman said. “Being inappropriate does not make you a danger to the community.”\n\n“He says things that are stupid. I don’t think stupid makes you violent,” Brafman added.\n\nShkreli’s lawyers compared his online comments to the political humor of Kathy Griffin, who once held up a photograph of a faux bloody head of President Trump. They also compared him to Trump himself. During the campaign, Trump used “political hyperbole,” Shkreli’s attorneys said, when he said that Clinton, his Democratic opponent, would abolish the Second Amendment if elected. “By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know,” Trump said.\n\n“He did not hold up the severed head of the president of the United States like Kathy Griffin,” Brafman said.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13017, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "aea8ea8ee40dd263821fc5df51ebfde7db1abeb7", "raw_chars": 3463, "clean_chars": 3423, "edit_ratio": 0.0282, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Digital services rely on a number of third parties to help piece together better information about their catalogues. For example, ROVI has a massive database of credits information that it shares with customers for a price in a highly controlled manner. Others, such as MusicBrainz, crowdsource data and share it freely or at a small cost. A number of other corporations, unions, and nonprofits also keep a tight grip on music metadata. For instance, in the United States, the American Federation of Musicians and SAG/AFTRA are unions that represent large numbers of musicians and singers, and they attempt to keep tabs on their members’ every recorded performance. They care about this information because it allows them to ensure that their members receive union-negotiated fees, and that the unions themselves, in turn, receive their dues.\n\nIn short, the information about who did what on a given record almost always exists somewhere in the world, but it is typically fragmented between a large number of databases that don’t sync with each other, and whose owners have conflicting views about what should be public and what should be private. This forces digital services such as iTunes and Spotify to invest internally in cleaning up and organizing the information they receive, a burdensome administrative necessity.\n\nThe Riddle of Rights\n\nThough getting credit for one’s work is a big deal, getting paid for it is an even bigger deal. Let’s look at Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse,” one of the biggest songs of the past few years, as a case study. From a legal point of view, the first thing to know about a song is that it’s not one thing. It encompasses a diffuse constellation of conceptual properties, each with numerous potential owners.\n\nThe biggest two buckets of rights are rights in a song or composition and rights in a recording of a song. “Dark Horse,” for example, was written by Perry, Max Martin, Juicy J, Dr. Luke, Cirkut, and Sarah Hudson. Each of them theoretically owns a piece of the underlying song, although they can assign their ownership to one or more third parties. Because Perry first recorded the song, she owns that recording. Whenever someone else records the song after Perry, that individual will own that recording, but the six original writers will still own the song itself.\n\nThat being said, artists and songwriters often sell these rights to record companies and publishing companies. Perry, for instance, has a publishing deal with the company Warner/Chappell, a subsidiary of the Warner Music Group, and a record deal with Capitol Records, a subsidiary of the Universal Music Group. When these rights generate earnings, contracts between Perry and her partners determine how these earnings are shared.\n\nBut publishing and recording rights are just the beginning. When Perry and her collaborators wrote “Dark Horse,” they also originated additional rights in the public performance of the song. These rights entitle their owners to be paid when a song is publicly exhibited—when it is, say, played on the radio, performed live, or broadcast over the speaker systems at the Staples Center or Chipotle.\n\nThe slicing and dicing of rights doesn’t stop there. For example, Katy Perry might choose to sell one company the rights to her general publishing but another company the right to make sheet music for her songs. She can also assign rights to different owners in different countries.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13024, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "9e0d3592629430326a35c05bdbbc17c596a42667", "raw_chars": 2030, "clean_chars": 2000, "edit_ratio": 0.0074, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Atlas Obscura on Slate is a new travel blog.

Temperatures during the year range from 77 degrees Fahrenheit to 118 degrees Fahrenheit. The area is beset by drought, bereft of trees, and has little in the way of roads.\n\nKnown by the Afar as the \"smoking mountain\" and \"the gateway to hell,\" Erta Ale is a 2,011-foot-high constantly active basaltic shield volcano. It is one of only a handful of continuously active volcanos in the world, and a member of an even more exclusive group: volcanos with lava lakes. While there are only five known volcanos with lava lakes globally, Erta Ale often has two active lava lakes, making it a unique site.\n\nErta Ale was discovered in 1906, which also makes it the longest-known lava lake. For a lava lake to exist, the surface of the lake and the magma chamber below must form a constant convecting system, or the entire thing will cool and solidify.\n\nBeneath the ground surrounding Erta Ale is an enormous pool of active magma. The lake goes through cycles and will cool, form a black layer on top, and then suddenly convect back into liquid lava. Occasionally, due to pressure, \"fountains\" of lava will form, spewing lava in 6- to 13-foot-high plumes.\n\nThe volcano itself has erupted in 1873, 1903, 1940, 1960, 1967, and 2005, when it killed hundreds of livestock and forced thousands to flee. In 2007 lava flows once again forced evacuation. Two people went missing and were presumably killed.\n\nDespite the harsh conditions, danger of volcanic eruption, and extreme heat, Erta Ale has become something of a tourist destination recently. Whereas in 2002 the area was accessible only by helicopter, today adventure tourism groups take trips to the volcano lakes and it is now possible to drive within 4.3 miles of the volcano.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13033, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "c7f75d9fd4e8bba9d1014ccab5b3adc3b8a93710", "raw_chars": 1055, "clean_chars": 977, "edit_ratio": 0.6978, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Researchers have compiled a broad overview of rice cultivation in the region around Baligang during the Neolithic period and beyond.

The dog on a6 can push the rabbit on a7 to a8, thereby unfreezing the rabbit on b7, which can step to b8 for the victory.\n\nMovement\n\nAfter the pieces are placed on the board, the players alternate turns, starting with Gold. A turn consists of making one to four steps. With each step, a piece may move into an unoccupied square one space left, right, forward, or backward, except that rabbits may not step backward. The steps of a turn may be made by a single piece or distributed among several pieces in any order.\n\nA turn must make a net change to the position. Thus, one cannot, for example, take one step forward and one step back with the same piece, effectively passing the turn and evading zugzwang. Furthermore, one's turn may not create the same position with the same player to move as has been created twice before. This rule is similar to the situational super ko rule in the game of Go, which prevents endless loops, and is in contrast to chess where endless loops are considered draws. The prohibitions on passing and repetition make Arimaa a drawless game.\n\nPushing and Pulling\n\nThe second diagram, from the same game as the initial position above, helps illustrate the remaining rules of movement.\n\nA player may use two consecutive steps of a turn to dislodge an opposing piece with a stronger friendly piece which is adjacent in one of the four cardinal directions. For example, a player's dog may dislodge an opposing rabbit or cat, but not a dog, horse, camel, or elephant. The stronger piece may pull or push the adjacent weaker piece. When pulling, the stronger piece steps into an empty square, and the square it came from is occupied by the weaker piece. The silver elephant on d5 could step to d4 (or c5 or e5) and pull the gold horse from d6 to d5. When pushing, the weaker piece is moved to an adjacent empty square, and the square it came from is occupied by the stronger piece. The gold elephant on d3 could push the silver rabbit on d2 to e2 and then occupy d2. Note that the rabbit on d2 can't be pushed to d1, c2, or d3, because those squares are not empty.\n\nFriendly pieces may not be dislodged. Also, a piece may not push and pull simultaneously. For example, the gold elephant on d3 could not simultaneously push the silver rabbit on d2 to e2 and pull the silver rabbit from c3 to d3. An elephant can never be dislodged, since there is nothing stronger.\n\nFreezing\n\nA piece which is adjacent in any cardinal direction to a stronger opposing piece is frozen, unless it is also adjacent to a friendly piece. Frozen pieces may not be moved by the owner, but may be dislodged by the opponent. A frozen piece can freeze another still weaker piece. The silver rabbit on a7 is frozen, but the one on d2 is able to move because it is adjacent to a silver piece. Similarly the gold rabbit on b7 is frozen, but the gold cat on c1 is not. The dogs on a6 and b6 do not freeze each other because they are of equal strength. An elephant cannot be frozen, since there is nothing stronger, but an elephant can be blockaded.\n\nCapturing", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13049, "chunk_idx": 3, "raw_sha1": "5a1180319444c378a03df20f9443e3f8601d58ab", "raw_chars": 2103, "clean_chars": 2080, "edit_ratio": 0.125, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Course level and whether a course is an elective also affect Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) scores (Braskamp and Ory 1994; Feldman 1978; McPherson et al. 2009; Hamilton 1980).

Bowling (2008) finds that SETs are contaminated by differences in course difficulty, noting that students give higher ratings to instructors in courses they consider to be easy. Moreover, the positive effect of easiness ratings on course evaluations is stronger in public schools with low academic rankings than in more highly ranked private institutions.\n\nThough not all studies agree (Centra 2003), many analyses also conclude that higher expected grades correlate with higher SETs (Blackhart et al. 2006; Braskamp and Ory 1994; Krautmann and Sander 1999; Langbein 2008; McPherson et al. 2009). To the extent that students expecting high grades are those who have learned more and rate their instructors highly as a result, SETs can be a valid indicator of teaching effectiveness. However, the more common interpretation is that instructors are able to buy better evaluations by awarding higher-than-deserved grades. In this interpretation, SETs are a biased indicator of teaching quality.\n\nThousands of articles have been published on the validity of using SETs as a measure of teaching effectiveness, and a comprehensive review of these is beyond the scope of this paper. Many different views can be supported by at least one study. Nonetheless, many studies do conclude that SETs can be valid indicators of teaching effectiveness, at least when controlled for appropriate instructor and course characteristics. Moreover, the ubiquitous use of SETs in promotion and tenure decisions is evidence that administrators believe them to be a primary indicator of classroom performance. Indeed, one recent survey found that department chairs weighed SETs more heavily than any other factor in their overall evaluations of a faculty member’s teaching effectiveness (Becker et al. 2012).", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13053, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6341e3bcc1bc0d0422039b7aecd7be13bca58258", "raw_chars": 1884, "clean_chars": 1725, "edit_ratio": 0.6664, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The editor of the Irish Daily Star newspaper has resigned following the publication of topless photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge.

At least, this is the model you are using.\" -Srikumar Rao\n\nIt's the end of the week, so it's time to take on another question from the suggestion box and continue our ongoing Ask Ethan series! Even though there is a backlog of hundreds of questions, you should keep sending in new ones, as all questions are fair game for any segment. This week's question comes from reader Brian Mucha, who asks:\n\nWhere did the sun and planets get their angular momentum resulting in their rotation? I am not asking about the orbits but the actual rotation. I understand the ice skater analogy where bringing in the extended arms increases the skater's rotation due to the conservation of angular momentum. But the skater starts with a spin. If the skater is standing still, they can extend and retract their arms all day and they won't spin. So when the planets and the sun started to form, how was their initial angular momentum achieved?\n\nAhh, the old question of rotation, and why everything does it.\n\nIt's easy to make something spin faster once it's already going: you just change its moment of inertia.\n\nWhat does that term mean, moment of inertia?\n\nYou know Newton's second law: the one that tells you force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma). Technically, it's a little more accurate to say that force is how another quantity -- momentum -- changes over time. It means if you apply any external force to a mass, its momentum -- or how it's currently moving -- will change, and it tells you exactly by what amount it will change. And if you don't apply an external force to something, its momentum cannot change.\n\nAnd if everything in the entire Universe only consisted of point masses along the same line, we'd never need anything else. But in the real Universe, masses-in-motion are distributed in more than one dimension.\n\nAnd whenever you have that, your system has not just momentum, but also angular momentum. And while momentum changes are dependent on mass, angular momentum changes are dependent on a combination of the mass and how that mass is distributed. That combination of factors -- mass and how it's distributed -- is what makes up moment of inertia. So yes, Newton's second law relates how objects change their momentum (i.e., how masses experience changes in their velocities), and there's an equivalent law that relates how objects change their angular momentum, or how moments of inertia experience changes in their rate of rotation.\n\nHow the figure skater who pulls her arms and legs in spins faster is one example of this: as her mass becomes distributed closer to the axis of rotation (and her moment of inertia gets smaller), her rotation rate increases to compensate. If your mass-and-how-it's-distributed changes (goes up or down), your rate of rotation will also change (go down or up) to compensate. But just like Newton's second law tells you that you can change a system's momentum by applying an outside force, you can change a system's angular momentum by applying an outside torque.\n\nAnd a torque is just a force applied in such a way that it causes an object's rotation to change.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13063, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f2f84891208adad864872e8e2328c11e75c8d641", "raw_chars": 2398, "clean_chars": 2581, "edit_ratio": 0.8606, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Syria called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to take action against Israel on Thursday following a reported Israeli air strike on a military facility near the Syrian-Lebanese border on Wednesday.\n\nIn a statement carried by the state-run SANA news agency, the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic urged the UNSC to condemn what it described as \"blatant Israeli aggressions.\" The statement added that Syria called on the international organization to adopt firm and immediate measures to halt the attacks and hold Israel accountable for its alleged support of terrorism, warning that such actions would inflame the situation in the region and worldwide.\n\nAccording to Lebanese media and a monitoring group, Israel's air force bombed a weapons depot in Homs province on Wednesday night local time. This incident marks the latest in a series of strikes over recent weeks. Lebanese news outlet al-Mayadeen reported that Syria fired a surface-to-air missile at Israeli aircraft following the strike, which reportedly occurred in the suburbs of Homs. Local residents reported seeing Israeli jets circling the area and hearing an explosion, according to a report on the Lebanese site Anshara. Syrian television reported an \"aggression\" by Israel in the region and stated that the national army had responded.

Ortiz had been captured by the Uzita while searching for the lost Narváez expedition; he later escaped to Mocoso. Ortiz had learned the Timucua language and served as an interpreter to de Soto as he traversed the Timucuan-speaking areas on his way to Apalachee.\n\nOrtiz developed a method for guiding the expedition and communicating with the various tribes, who spoke many dialects and languages. He recruited guides from each tribe along the route. A chain of communication was established whereby a guide who had lived in close proximity to another tribal area was able to pass his information and language on to a guide from a neighboring area. Because Ortiz refused to dress as an hidalgo Spaniard, other officers questioned his motives. De Soto remained loyal to Ortiz, allowing him the freedom to dress and live among his native friends. Another important guide was the seventeen-year-old boy Perico, or Pedro, from what is now Georgia. He spoke several of the local tribes' languages and could communicate with Ortiz. Perico was taken as a guide in 1540. The Spanish had also captured other Indians, whom they used as slave labor. Perico was treated better due to his value to the Spaniards.\n\nThe expedition traveled north, exploring Florida's West Coast, and encountering native ambushes and conflicts along the way. De Soto's first winter encampment was at Anhaica, the capital of the Apalachee people. It is one of the few places on the route where archaeologists have found physical traces of the expedition. The chroniclers described this settlement as being near the \"Bay of Horses\". The bay was named for events of the 1527 Narváez expedition. Starving and struggling to escape the Florida peninsula, the decreasing number of survivors killed and ate their horses while building boats for escape by the Gulf of Mexico.\n\n1540: The Southeast\n\nFrom their winter location in the western panhandle of Florida, having heard of gold being mined \"toward the sun's rising\", the expedition turned northeast through what is now the modern state of Georgia. Based on archaeological finds made in 2009 at a remote, privately owned site near the Ocmulgee River, researchers believe that de Soto's expedition stopped in Telfair County. Artifacts found here include nine glass trade beads, some of which bear a chevron pattern made in Venice for a limited period of time and believed to be indicative of the de Soto expedition. Six metal objects were also found, including a silver pendant and some iron tools. The rarest items were found within what researchers believe was a large council house of the indigenous people whom de Soto was visiting.\n\nThe expedition continued to present-day South Carolina. There the expedition recorded being received by a female chief (Cofitachequi), who gave her tribe's pearls, food and other goods to the Spanish soldiers.

Earlier that day, approximately 6,000 people packed the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center for his afternoon rally.\n\nIn both cities, Sanders delivered his typically fiery speeches, focusing on themes of reducing income inequality, breaking the influence of big money in politics, and reforming the criminal justice system. Speaking in Duluth, he urged the audience to unite, stating, \"You, and millions of other people, need to come together.\" He described his platform as a political revolution, emphasizing that citizens must demand a government that represents the people rather than just a handful of billionaires, especially given the sacrifices made by those who fought to save the country.\n\nIn St. Paul, Sanders argued that no president can effectively address the nation's crisis without a political revolution. The crowd cheered as he condemned the corrupt campaign finance system and the broken criminal justice system. They booed when he criticized Wal-Mart for inadequate worker pay and railed against Wall Street, corporate America, the corporate media, and the Koch brothers. \"Today in America, we have a rigged economy,\" Sanders declared. \"People are sick and tired of working long hours for lower wages.\" He vowed to implement paid family medical leave and raise the minimum wage to $15.\n\nSanders highlighted disparities in the justice system, noting that a teenager in Minneapolis arrested for selling marijuana would receive a police record, while a Wall Street executive whose actions contributed to the worst recession since the 1930s faced no consequences. He asserted that Wall Street's greed is destroying the economy. One of the loudest cheers came when he called for major reforms in police department operations. While acknowledging that most police officers act responsibly, he stated it is unacceptable for unarmed individuals, particularly Latinos and African Americans, to be killed in cold blood. \"When a police officer breaks the law, that officer must be held accountable,\" he said.\n\nAttendees expressed strong support for the senator. Shannon Chapa, 39, admitted she was initially skeptical but now believes he truly listens to those outside the top one percent. Ken Brown, 72, traveled from Menomonie, Wisconsin, to see Sanders. He remarked that Hillary Clinton lacks the strength to withstand the competition.\n\nBefore Sanders addressed the overflow crowd, attendees heard from Farhiya Ali, a Hamline University student, and U.S. Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Ali drew cheers when she called for addressing institutional racism and policing practices. She also criticized Republican candidate Donald Trump, stating that Sanders would bring change \"rather than scapegoating Latinos or Muslims.\"\n\nInitially viewed as a long shot due to his unconventional style and self-professed socialism, the 74-year-old Sanders has recently risen to near parity or even ahead of Clinton in several polls of Democratic voters.

He lamented that Michigan ran a terrible two-minute drill, only to have their holder slide in for a game-tying field goal, making it 9-9 going into overtime. This forced fans to endure not just one, but multiple overtimes, including a double and triple overtime game. The despair was so profound that one image showed a fan drowning his sadness in pudding.\n\nThe frustration boiled over into dark humor and threats, with one fan joking about decapitating a house cat and leaving the head on coach Pat Fitzgerald's lawn as the most rational response. Some suggested that college football in Illinois should be abandoned entirely. Meanwhile, discussions shifted to other coaches, with one comparing Dana Holgorsen to Derek Dooley but with bad hair.

Speaking at a closed-press fundraiser at the home of Republican Party donor Louis DeJoy, the president emphasized the challenges of securing a majority in the Senate for any repeal legislation, noting that a small group of GOP holdouts continues to oppose the efforts.\n\nAt a time of widespread frustration within the Republican Party over its repeated failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Trump indicated a desire to restart the legislative talks. He walked the attendees through the strategies that had been attempted so far, explaining that reaching the necessary 50-vote threshold in the Senate remains difficult regardless of the approach. However, unlike previous instances where he publicly criticized Arizona Senator John McCain and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul for their reluctance to support specific repeal efforts, Trump did not single out any lawmakers for criticism during this event. He also refrained from attacking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been a past target of his frustration.\n\nThe president touched on several other topics during the fundraiser, including the upcoming fight over tax reform, his past campaign experiences, and hurricane relief efforts. At one point, he criticized the media's coverage of his recent trip to Puerto Rico, expressing frustration over reports of him tossing paper towels to storm victims in a basketball-style gesture. Nevertheless, health care reform dominated much of the evening's discussion. Several attendees noted that the president did not rule out the possibility of collaborating with Democrats to achieve legislative progress.\n\nEarlier on Saturday, Trump had tweeted that he called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to inquire whether Democrats were interested in working together on a \"great HealthCareBill.\" Schumer later clarified in a statement that Trump had suggested another repeal-and-replace effort, which Democrats considered a non-starter.

One might roll this die 60 times and record the relative frequency of one dot, two dots, ..., six dots. However, it is not very likely that each number of spots will occur equally often. If 6 occurs slightly more often than the other numbers of spots, does this mean there is a slight bias towards 6 appearing? A Bayesian approach might use the \"data\" from the 60 tosses as input for further analysis to try to answer the question of whether or not the die is fair.\n\nIt would seem that systems involving randomness would raise \"complexity issues\" beyond those of deterministic systems, so it was a big surprise when it emerged that deterministic systems could show behavior of such complexity that had not been dreamed of! This type of behavior has now come to be called \"chaotic\" behavior to distinguish it from systems that are subject to \"genuine\" randomness. The discovery of deterministic chaotic systems motivated a renewed interest in how to tell if a system was truly random, and how to design systems that looked as if they were random but were \"pseudo-random.\"\n\nIn retrospect, there were a variety of examples of deterministic \"chaos\" in the work of Poincaré before the more recent work put chaos \"on the map.\" Relatively recent contributions were made by Robert May, James Yorke (who coined the use of the word \"chaos\" to describe complex deterministic behavior), Mitchell Feigenbaum, and others. May called attention to the complexities of ecological systems. A hallmark of this period was the complex behavior associated with the logistic map.\n\nThis involves the iteration of computing, from a given input x, the value rx(1-x) (where r is a fixed constant) as an \"output\" and then using this output value to compute rx(1-x) again.

The issue of insecurity resonates with both those who desire a properly functioning liberal democracy and radical groups seeking far-reaching political change. This dynamic is evident in the diverse groups that have joined the protests.\n\nA few days after the disappearance of the students, shopkeepers and merchants in Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero, joined the demonstrations demanding the governor's resignation. The extreme violence in the region had severely impacted commerce in Chilpancingo, prompting this group's participation. Similarly, under the pretext of insecurity, 200 striking police officers in Acapulco joined the struggle. While the middle classes focus on the issue of insecurity, a group of socialist students within the Ayotzinapa movement adopts a more fundamental focus.\n\nThese students have decided to temporarily occupy two mega-stores in Chilpancingo to distribute food and basic supplies. Electronics and luxury items remain untouched, distinguishing their actions from ordinary plundering and instead sending a clear political statement that inequality is at the root of Mexico's problems. This message also resonates in many of the highway blockades, where the Ayotzinapa movement grants free passage to civilian vehicles but completely denies it to trucks from multinationals like Coca-Cola and Bimbo, which are seen as symbols of the inequality inherent in the capitalist system.\n\nThe different currents that feed the Ayotzinapa movement are its strength due to the broad support they generate. At the same time, these divergent currents carry the risk of fragmentation.\n\nFrom De-escalation to Militarization\n\nDuring the first month of protests, the government's response was surprisingly peaceful. Even when more militant actions occurred, such as setting fire to government buildings or occupying town halls, the authorities did not intervene. The government seemed to hope for a fiery but short-lived movement that would burn out on its own. Additionally, this de-escalation strategy was the only realistic course of action at the time, as a new victim of state violence would only have heightened the flames of discontent.\n\nHowever, the government did employ its usual tactic of discrediting the students and teachers by labeling them as dangerous and radical vandals. More recently, they have even stooped to the level of accusing the Ayotzinapa students of being allied with a drug cartel. Strikingly, these accusations have not had the desired effect on the public.\n\nOn October 29, more than a month into the protests, the first violent confrontation with military police forces took place when teachers from CETEG attempted to occupy the Casa Guerrero, the state governor's mansion. Meanwhile, the government is taking control of cities in Guerrero as well as twelve municipalities. A large-scale militarization of the region is underway, denounced by teachers' organizations as an attempt to suppress the movement. As more anger is directed toward the president himself, the chances of violent intervention are growing by the day.\n\nSelf-Organization: Leading by Example\n\nThe long-standing community police forces of Guerrero serve as an inspiration to the Ayotzinapa movement.

Worse still, on the advice of a wealthy backer who kept him stocked, Nixon began to take Dilantin, an anti-convulsive drug, on the grounds that it would lessen depression, though it had never been approved for that purpose. Dilantin served to enhance the effects of too much alcohol, causing mental confusion, slurred words, and physical clumsiness.

So, what was Watergate about, and how does it differ from what is going on now?\n\nCompared to Watergate, the current \"scandals\" amount to a piffle. Watergate was a constitutional crisis. It was about a pattern of behavior on the part of the president of the United States abusing power to carry out his personal vendettas. It was about whether the president was accountable to the other branches of government; it was about whether Congress could summon the courage to hold accountable a president who held himself above the law. It was about a president and his aides who were out of control in their efforts to punish the president's \"enemies.\"\n\nIt was also about, though this has still gone largely unrecognized, an attempt by a sitting president to determine the nomination of the opposition party's presidential candidate. Potentially strong challengers were spied upon, their offices broken into and files disappeared, and their campaign events disrupted by what were dismissed as laughable \"dirty tricks.\" It was about black bag jobs and paying criminals to carry out ideas that sprang from the fevered brain of a president who saw opponents, political and otherwise, as enemies, and then trying to hush the whole thing up. The attempt, not unsuccessful though not exclusively their doing, to try to get the opposition party to nominate its weakest candidate was a step along the road to fascism. It was a putsch by a head of state.\n\nNixon's extraordinary abuse of his new power started almost as soon as he had put away his inaugural finery. In February 1969, he told his staff that he wanted private funds raised to establish an intelligence unit within the White House to carry out around-the-clock surveillance of political opponents. This led to the hiring of a group of fanatics, bums, fools, and losers—most of them paid for with private funds but run by White House aides and operating out of the Executive Office Building, next door to the White House. Some were of Cuban origin and had participated in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba; to motivate them, Nixon instructed that they be told that their mission was to root out Communists in the Democratic Party. (He even ordered that they be required to read the chapter of his memoir Six Crises that recounts his exposure of Alger Hiss as a spy for the Soviet Union.

Like a Hollywood-style, Monkey Island, Pirates of the Caribbean pirate, I mean. My college class on pirate history quite firmly disabused me of the desire to ever be a real pirate, because in reality it was pretty nasty and they didn’t have toothbrushes at sea.\n\nFor those looking to live through the highlights of the pirate experience, you’ll want to check out the upcoming game Sea of Thieves. Being developed by Rare Ltd, Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer online pirate experience that aims to be unlike any other. During a recent visit to the port of New York Comic Con 2017, the development team behind the game shared some insights and news with lucky panel attendees. In attendance at the panel were executive producer Joe Neate, senior designer Shelley Preston, marketing art lead Pete Hentze, and design director Mike Chapman.\n\nThe panel started with an overview of the game and its goals, for those unfamiliar with Sea of Thieves already. When gamers hear the term “multiplayer,” what usually comes to mind now are trolls, bullies, insanely leveled people who have been playing an MMO for the last 8 years of their life, and microtransactions. While there are plenty of people out there who enjoy MMOs, the fact is that the toxicity of the experience can be a major turn-off for a lot of gamers, and the ridiculous amounts of leveling that are required to keep up with others can be a big turn-off to casual gamers and those pressed for time. Sea of Thieves aims to change that. Developed specifically with the intention to avoid toxic gameplay without censorship or neutering player choices, the developers also aim to create a level playing ground that doesn’t segregate players based on the amount of time put into the game.\n\nIn addition to showing a peek into the development process, the team also revealed some new information for fans in attendance. First up was the addition of a brig (pirate jail) to the hold of each ship. A new way to deal with trolls and deliberately unhelpful players, if a majority of the crew votes to send one of four teammates to the brig, off they go. It’s not an irreversible decision, however, so if a player changes their minds and decides to make nice, they can be allowed back up on deck. Or they can be left in jail to re-enact that scene from the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie with 18 Johnny Depps on screen—player’s choice.\n\nAnother exciting announcement was the addition of single or two player ships. While Sea of Thieves is still intended as a multiplayer game, the devs acknowledged that sometimes people will want to try the game out without the hassle of joining a crew and that people also want to play when their crew members are offline. These smaller ships are meant to be crewed by only one or two people and have distinct advantages and disadvantages when compared to a standard four person ship, meaning that each cater to a different playstyle and neither is inherently a better way to play.\n\nThese new features, along with others, are soon to be rolled out in the game’s currently running alpha testing mode the team announced. And after a round of fan questions, I was able to talk to the team for a more in-depth look at the world of Sea of Thieves. Interested? You’ll find it above.\n\nSea of Thieves is scheduled to be released in early 2018 for PC and Xbox One platforms.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13191, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "004d03e9bf374babcb9c205018eca6e5203f20cb", "raw_chars": 3308, "clean_chars": 2756, "edit_ratio": 0.1827, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Mr. Obama has so identified himself with Lincoln that he invoked him while announcing his candidacy in Lincoln’s onetime political base, Springfield, Ill.

The theme of Mr. Obama’s own inauguration will be “A New Birth of Freedom,” an allusion to the Gettysburg Address. And the president-elect has admiringly cited Ms. Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals,” saying he has been influenced by the way Lincoln composed his cabinet.\n\nAll of this heightens the relevance of the coming flood of Lincolniana. Coming in January is a much anticipated two-volume biography of Lincoln by Michael Burlingame, drawing on the author’s discoveries of letters and newspaper writings (as well as a lost 1865 eulogy of Lincoln by Frederick Douglass).\n\nAnother new biography is imminent from Ronald C. White Jr. Lincoln’s marriage to the manic Mary Todd is the subject of the recent book “The Lincolns” by Daniel Mark Epstein. She is made an even more sympathetic figure in “Mrs. Lincoln” by Catherine Clinton — though Mr. Burlingame’s research will make further rehabilitation much more difficult.\n\nMr. Kaplan’s book is a study of Lincoln’s development as a writer. James M. McPherson’s book is about Lincoln’s military prowess, and Harold Holzer’s account is of the months between Lincoln’s election and his taking office in 1861 — months in which Southern secessions began.\n\nYet another new book, compiled by Philip B. Kunhardt III, Peter W. Kunhardt and Peter W. Kunhardt Jr. (“Looking for Lincoln: The Making of an American Icon”), is an illustrated history of Lincoln’s posthumous image. The Library of America, in “The Lincoln Anthology,” is doing something similar in prose: Mr. Holzer compiles almost 150 years of reactions to Lincoln by writers ranging from Horace Greeley and Nathaniel Hawthorne to E. L. Doctorow and Mr. Obama.\n\nYet for all the detail, the probing and the analysis, something remains uncanny. If Lincoln had died in 1860, we probably wouldn’t remember him. He had failed to gain much political power during his one term in Congress beginning in 1847; he lost the 1858 election to the Senate; and while he was a diligent party man and lawyer, his legislative track record was not terribly distinguished. He was last out of four Republicans in line to get the party’s nomination in 1860.\n\nHe would have a legacy of a few good speeches and some powerful argument in the debates with his rival, Stephen A. Douglas, but it would have been a career far less influential than that of the antislavery politician of the previous generation whom Lincoln most admired, Henry Clay.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13195, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "c70cd47b48ea63ac99d2f0132c518fa09ef297b9", "raw_chars": 999, "clean_chars": 837, "edit_ratio": 0.0915, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "We don’t see much of The Wasp in Ant-Man, much to some people’s chagrin, but we might have seen a different side of her had the costume designers gone with their original vision for her.

Rosecrans was advancing against Bragg in Tennessee, forcing him to evacuate Chattanooga.

Bragg resigned from his command of the Army of Tennessee and returned to Richmond in the role of military adviser to the president. Davis offered the position to William J. Hardee, the senior corps commander, who refused it. He considered P.G.T. Beauregard, another general with whom he had poor personal relations, and also Robert E. Lee. Lee, who was reluctant to leave Virginia, first recommended Beauregard, but sensing Davis's discomfort, changed his recommendation to Johnston. After much agonizing, Davis appointed Johnston to command the Army of Tennessee in Dalton, Georgia, on December 27, 1863.\n\nFaced with Major General William T. Sherman's advance from Chattanooga to Atlanta in the spring of 1864, Johnston conducted a series of withdrawals that appeared similar to his Peninsula Campaign strategy. He repeatedly prepared strong defensive positions, only to see Sherman maneuver around them in expert turning movements, causing him to fall back in the general direction of Atlanta. Johnston saw the preservation of his army as the most important consideration, and hence conducted a very cautious campaign. He handled his army well, slowing the Union advance and inflicting heavier losses than he sustained.\n\nSherman began his Atlanta Campaign on May 4. Johnston's Army of Tennessee fought defensive battles against the Federals at the approaches to Dalton, which was evacuated on May 13, then retreated 12 miles south to Resaca, and constructed defensive positions. However, after a brief battle, Johnston again yielded to Sherman, and retreated from Resaca on May 15. Johnston assembled the Confederate forces for an attack at Cassville. As his troops advanced, an enemy force of unknown strength appeared unexpectedly on his right flank. A skirmish ensued, forcing the corps commander, Lieutenant General John Bell Hood, to halt his advance and reposition his troops to face the threat. Faced with this unexpected threat, Johnston abandoned his attack and renewed his retreat. On May 20 they again retreated 8 miles further south to Cartersville. The month of May 1864 ended with Sherman's forces attempting to move away from their railroad supply line with another turning movement, but became bogged down by the Confederates' fierce defenses at the Battle of New Hope Church on May 25, the Battle of Pickett's Mill on May 27, and the Battle of Dallas on May 28.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13206, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "edd4c69a2f495aaa18feddc95a0e440a69f8b21f", "raw_chars": 1496, "clean_chars": 1565, "edit_ratio": 0.3192, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Clinical-stage drug company Cempra Inc.

There are many resources available—articles, videos, and platform documentation—but it is easy to get overwhelmed. Many of them are understandably outdated because the platform is still evolving at a rapid pace. It took me some time to piece together a complete picture of what Ethereum is and how it works. After talking to developers in meetup groups and other online communities, I realized that many people want to get their hands dirty with this new technology but face the same challenge. This article is my attempt at explaining Ethereum from a web developer’s point of view.\n\nIf you are a web developer, you know how a web application with its client-server architecture works at a very high level. You have your web application hosted on a provider like AWS, Heroku, or a VPS. All clients interact with this one central application. Clients can be a browser or another API consuming your service. When a client makes a request to the server, the server does its magic, talks to the database and/or cache, reads, writes, or updates the database, and serves the client.\n\nThis architecture works very well most of the time. However, there are certain applications where it would be really helpful if that database was publicly and securely accessible by everyone, and you did not have to rely on the web application owner for your data.\n\nFor example, let’s look at eBay. If you are a power seller who has earned hundreds of good reviews and, for some reason, eBay suspends your account, that would be very bad and could severely impact your business. What would be really nice is the ability to take all your reviews and ratings and move them to another platform, such as an eBay competitor. eBay provides a service by being the trusted third party between buyers and sellers, but they also take a commission off each sale. What if there was a way to eliminate eBay altogether from the transaction between buyer and seller, so you save on commission and also have access to all your data? This is where decentralized applications come into the picture. Ethereum makes it very easy to build Dapps (decentralized applications).\n\nThis is how an Ethereum Dapp looks at a high level:\n\nIf you notice, every client (browser) communicates with its own instance of the application. There is no central server to which all clients connect. This means that every person who wants to interact with a Dapp (Decentralized Application) will need a full copy of the blockchain running on their computer, phone, etc. That means before you can use an application, you have to download the entire blockchain and then start using the application. This might sound ridiculous at first, but it has the advantage of not relying on a single central server that might disappear tomorrow.\n\nIn reality, you do not need to spend a lot of your hard disk and RAM downloading the entire blockchain. There are a few workarounds and optimizations to keep the application decentralized while making the interaction quick and easy.\n\nNow, what exactly is this blockchain?

She noted that while Cork has a \"very comprehensive record\" of monuments, other counties have little or none. \"Instead of seeking to apply the Cork standard across the board, they are instead opposing to level out the playing field by delisting the lot,\" she said. \"We are very concerned because this would not be regarded as best practice [in archaeology].\"\n\nThe department stated that its review aimed for \"a standard approach nationally that will ensure that all elements of the built heritage continue to be adequately protected\" and emphasized there was \"no question of any change to current arrangements\" before the review was completed.

Earlier this year, the German weekly newspaper Zeit reported that the BND, Germany's foreign intelligence agency, gathers 220 million pieces of metadata from phone calls and text messages each day.

Judge Edmund Sargus also ordered Zafar to pay $15.7 million in restitution to his victims and serve three years of supervision after his release. Zafar, 36, a legal U.S. resident, could face deportation to his native Pakistan after leaving prison.\n\nAccording to the government, Zafar defrauded players Mike Miller, James Jones, and Rashard Lewis in 2013 by promising to invest millions of dollars in various business opportunities. He also received a $1 million, three-season Miami Heat ticket package that he never paid for.\n\nZafar pleaded guilty last year in federal court in Columbus to five wire fraud charges, each carrying a maximum 20-year prison sentence. That case was consolidated with another against Zafar, in which the defendant previously pleaded guilty to swindling a Washington, D.C., businessman out of $10 million between 2008 and 2010. Zafar apologized for his actions but attempted to defend some of what happened involving the Washington businessman.\n\nAndrew Fine, a lawyer representing the businessman and the former Heat players, argued for a longer sentence in a Tuesday letter sent to Judge Sargus. Fine described Zafar as an \"inveterate\" criminal who defied the government even when under investigation. \"Despite knowledge that his fraud had been discovered in one jurisdiction, he continued to perpetuate a similar fraud in another jurisdiction,\" the letter stated.\n\nZafar's attorney, Sam Shamansky, argued for a sentence closer to four years, noting that Zafar had overcome tremendous personal obstacles, including being left penniless by family members, when he emigrated to the U.S. as a young man. Shamansky also mentioned that Zafar had struggled with addictions to painkillers after an accident. Nevertheless, he argued that Zafar had overcome such struggles and \"has done well for himself, but for these two unfortunate incidents.\"\n\nTracey Warren, special agent in charge for the IRS criminal division in Cincinnati, stated after the hearing that Zafar got his hand caught in the till after preying on wealthy people.

She didn't speak any Spanish at home until her son, Massimo, was born three years ago.\n\n\"Once I started talking to him in Spanish, I realized, wow, this is harder than I thought!\" Palazzolo said. \"I needed to brush up on my Spanish a little bit more. That's when I decided to have a program that will support that.\"\n\nShe started meet-ups for moms who could brush up on their Spanish together, while their little ones learned, too. She opened the storefront classroom last spring.\n\nLike many of her clients, Palazzolo would like to enter her son in dual-immersion classes, in which native-speaker kids learn along with non-native speakers. But these can be hard to get into, Palazzolo said. Some school districts don't have them. In the end, much is up to the parents.\n\nBoth Palazzolo and Salgado have tried to brush up on their Spanish with a number of tools: Apps, dictionaries, Google Translate, trying to muddle their way through Spanish-language media. Even relatives have been enlisted to help.\n\n\"I do make an effort on a daily basis,\" Salgado said, \"looking up words on Google or online to remember what they sound like. Even with my mother. I actually have conversations in Spanish with my mother. I didn't for a long time.

She eventually took Spanish classes as an adult.\n\nIt helps these days that her husband is from Spain, but so does attending mommy-and-me classes with her toddler. She says her Salvadoran immigrant parents are impressed.\n\n\"They are very happy that my Spanish sounds better, because I can express myself better,\" Venegas-Schuster said. \"Before they would correct me all the time, or my dad would say, 'You can't speak Spanglish!'\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13235, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "4b23c7337c925523fa406385e1ed5d9d7e524802", "raw_chars": 2844, "clean_chars": 2829, "edit_ratio": 0.3291, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "It took until July 31 for the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) to stir from its apparent somnolence and send a letter to Israel’s ambassador to Canada denouncing the killing of journalists in Gaza.

He urged Israel to avoid targeting known media outlet locations and called on the Israeli government to respect its responsibilities and obligations under international law regarding the protection of journalists.\n\nAmber also made pointed reference to the recent attack on Al Jazeera’s offices in Gaza. He noted that the Israel Defense Forces fired at Al Jazeera offices, forcing media workers within to flee the complex. This attack came soon after pejorative remarks made by Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman demonizing the media network.\n\nThe assault on Al Jazeera was an attack on all journalists, but until recently it did not trigger much, if any, reaction among Canadian journalists and news organizations. Indeed, to the author's knowledge, the editorial boards of Canada’s major newspapers have been rather quiet about both the bombardment of the Al Jazeera office and the journalists who died doing their jobs in Gaza. This is a far cry from recent expressions by Canadian and international media of solidarity with three other Al Jazeera journalists, including Egyptian-Canadian Mohamed Fahmy, who were jailed in Egypt for allegedly aiding the Muslim Brotherhood in their reporting.\n\nThe long sentences handed down against the three journalists prompted Toronto Star and CBC journalists, among many others, to duct-tape their mouths while holding a piece of white paper with the hashtag #freeAJstaff in silent protest.

Technically, they are two elements that, when combined, prove to be pretty explosive: running backs Fitzgerald Touissant and Jordan Todman, a.k.a. \"TNT.\"\n\nSay what you want about Mike Tomlin's decision-making throughout this season. Despite having three different quarterbacks drop back to pass, four kickers teeing up, four kick returners fielding balls in the end zone, and five different running backs taking carries, at least with the latter of those ongoing changes, he learned not to make the same mistake twice.\n\nHe could have done the same thing he did after Le'Veon Bell went down during the regular season finale last year against those same Bengals. He could have gone for another free-agent re-tread off the street and given him just a week to learn the playbook, memorize the protections, and hope for the best, like he did with Ben Tate.\n\nBut instead, he put his faith in two backs who have combined for only 22 carries this season, but have at least been with the team all season. Todman was signed as a free agent to provide depth should this very situation arise. Toussaint was a practice squad player who eventually rose to the active roster and unseated Isaiah Pead.\n\nThere are a few reasons why Mike Tomlin's players love playing for him. He goes out of his way to avoid blasting them publicly, even though sometimes it is the necessary thing to do. He keeps the details of his personal conversations with individual players regarding discipline issues confidential, completely eschewing public criticism from media and fans alike.\n\nAnd when the time comes for a reserve to step into a starting role, he publicly puts his trust in that newly made starter and works to build their confidence, whether they need it or not.\n\nThis time, he put that faith in two men pressed into that position, and it paid off with 32 combined touches for 183 yards and one play of 20-plus yards apiece from each back for good measure.\n\nTouissant's ability to gain tough yards between the tackles, assist in pass protection, and catch passes out of the backfield blended with Todman's speed, shiftiness, and patience. If one weren't too careful, they might have looked into the backfield and seen 26 or 34 on those jerseys instead of 33 and 30.\n\nBelieve it or not, turning the reps over to an inexperienced running back during a playoff run isn't a totally unfamiliar concept.

In assessing the risk, the above question is much more fundamental than asking how much the climate warmed over the 20th century. So what is the answer?\n\nSociety has standard approaches for assessing risk and safety. When it comes to assessing risk for major intervention, this approach entails a null hypothesis, or base assumption, that things are unsafe until proven safe. Examples occur in medicine, engineering, and just about every human activity. In medicine, a drug company cannot assume that a new vaccine is safe, with the burden of proof on others to prove it is unsafe. Note that this is different to determining whether the vaccine is effective, where the null hypothesis could be that there is no association between the vaccine and immunity. Rather, the null hypothesis for the risk assessment relates to the question, can I use this vaccine for a major public vaccination program?\n\nWhen it comes to carbon pollution, the normal convention for risk assessment goes right out the window. The scientific null hypothesis that there is no association between carbon dioxide and climate change is easily broken. But the public risk question really relates to doubling the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration in 200 years. In other words, is altering atmospheric chemistry in that manner safe? In the weird world of greenhouse policy, we would like everyone to assume that putting 3.6 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere is entirely safe, with the onus on climatologists to prove otherwise.\n\nTaking the wrong null hypothesis has serious implications for the way the science is assessed. Going back to our medical analogy, even a relatively small amount of evidence that the vaccine is unsafe is enough to inform a risk assessment. In other words, the null hypothesis stands. You need to produce a great deal of evidence to satisfy authorities that the vaccine is safe.\n\nIn the assessment of carbon pollution, we have this the wrong way around. Small uncertainties in the conventional science are used to reinforce the notion that doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide is entirely safe. Most importantly, and somewhat amazingly when you stop to think about it, major polluters and proponents of continued carbon pollution have never proved that their product is safe. Not only that, they haven't even been asked, by governments and the public alike, to prove that their product is safe.\n\nThis means that, to date, we have no studies demonstrating that the climate system is insensitive to such increases in carbon dioxide, and a mountain of evidence indicating that doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide will result in dramatic climate change. Yet still, we refuse to really accept the risks. One of the biggest reasons for this is that the skeptics have been successful in limiting public discussion to 20th century global mean temperature. In reality, the case against doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide is well established before we look at the 20th century climate record.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13276, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "e902595cdf78986352a0894a96c3941dec804212", "raw_chars": 1716, "clean_chars": 1759, "edit_ratio": 0.4308, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "While majestic creatures often draw more attention, the story of Toughie, a small brown frog, is being repeated thousands of times across the globe.

Thus, it has no rights in or to the original market for the Tattoos (i.e., inking them on people).\"\n\nAnticipating a rebuttal regarding a licensing market for these tattoos, Take-Two's summary judgment motion warns the judge not to rely on theoretical arguments. It adds that Solid Oak has admitted to not obtaining the publicity or trademark rights \"necessary\" to depict the tattoos on merchandise. \"Solid Oak's lack of licenses in these overlapping intellectual property rights prevents Solid Oak from commercializing the Tattoos,\" the brief states.\n\nThis is an interesting argument, but also an odd one given that Take-Two itself has fought cases—such as a battle with actress Lindsay Lohan—over whether publicity rights are truly necessary. Other video game companies, like Electronic Arts with Madden NFL, have done the same and presumably lack such rights. Perhaps it is the word \"merchandise\" that leaves Take-Two some room to make a creative and commercial distinction. Nevertheless, Solid Oak appears to be eyeing licensing opportunities in the creative market.\n\nTake-Two ends its brief with a few words that showcase why others might wish to pay attention to this case. \"If Take-Two's motion is denied, Solid Oak will be able to use that decision to shakedown each of the publications and television programs in which those players have appeared, as well as any other video game publisher that depicts the Tattoos,\" the brief states. \"It would be illogical to allow Solid Oak to seek rents each time that a player bearing one of its tattoos commercializes his likeness, or worse, appears in public, and therefore arguably 'publicly displays' the Tattoos under copyright law.

On Wednesday, the publisher filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, arguing that it has the right to showcase players as they appear in real life. This motion sets the stage for a first-of-its-kind ruling by a New York federal judge, and Take-Two is highlighting the high stakes involved.\n\n\"In essence, Solid Oak argues that these public figures must seek its permission every time they appear in public, film, or photographs, and that those who create new works depicting the players as they actually appear (with their tattoos) should be enjoined and pay damages to Solid Oak,\" wrote Take-Two attorney Dale Cendali. \"Yet, no case has interpreted copyright law as providing such a right, and doing so here would inhibit copyright's purpose of encouraging the creation of new works. This is particularly troubling at a time when tattoos are becoming increasingly popular.\"\n\nSolid Oak is the plaintiff in the case, which was filed in February 2016 after the company acquired rights from various tattoo artists. Take-Two has derided Solid Oak as an \"opportunist,\" while the company argues that tattoo designs \"easily satisfy\" the standard for originality and are fixed in a tangible medium (human skin).\n\nAt the moment, the copyrightability of tattoos is not the subject of debate. Instead, Solid Oak and Take-Two have agreed to first present to the judge the defendant's question of whether the video game publisher's use of the tattoos constitutes de minimis use or fair use.\n\nTake-Two's de minimis argument is straightforward. \"The tattoos rarely appear in NBA 2K as they only are displayed when the players on whom they are inked are selected from the over 400 other NBA players that are available,\" states Take-Two's memorandum. \"Even when the tattoos appear, they are not prominent as the game camera generally uses a full-court shot with the players' avatars appearing as small images, and the tattoos thus appearing even smaller than they would in real life. This makes the tattoos difficult (if not impossible) to see even when the players appear in the game.\"\n\nThis argument will only succeed if U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain agrees that the qualitative or quantitative significance of the tattoos in the video game is what matters. A potential counter-argument might be drawn from a decision four years ago in a case involving sampling on the Beastie Boys' album Paul's Boutique. In that case, a New York judge ruled that whether listeners could detect the samples was irrelevant, as what truly mattered was the portion taken from the original work. (The Beastie Boys eventually won the case anyway.)\n\nAlternatively, Take-Two urges the judge to declare that it has engaged in fair use. The defendant walks through the four fair use factors. For the purpose and character of the use, Cendali argues that while the tattoos were originally created to serve the NBA players' self-expression, Take-Two is using them for authenticity. Regarding the nature of the copyrighted work, she argues that any creativity must be weighed against the fact that the tattoos were copied to depict real-world subject matter realistically. The third factor measures the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and here, Cendali echoes some of the points made regarding de minimis use.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13291, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "afda43232dc0e3f8862bff24b5ffdeac08c620d8", "raw_chars": 2608, "clean_chars": 2622, "edit_ratio": 0.0325, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "My beautiful daughter attends a successfully integrated public school where we live in Northern California.

She innocently replied, \"Yeah, but it isn't like that anymore, so why do they still have to make such a big deal about it?\" Hesitantly, I answered that some people think that it is the only way to prevent it from happening again.

Like most men of my generation, I can't even imagine having the motive or power to oppress women. It is an empty accusation. And yet feminism depends on that premise. Therefore, I must conclude that feminism fails the credibility test—catastrophically. Why? Not because men are threatened by the idea of gender equality or \"strong\" women, a familiar accusation so often claimed by feminists. We are not. Really.

The College will partner with the IOTA Foundation in two key ways designed to bring the IOTA protocol closer to real-world adoption and to increase the utility of this breakthrough new approach to distributed ledger technology.\n\nThe Imperial team of students and leading professors will work with the IOTA Foundation to conceptualise and build new Proof of Concepts on top of the IOTA protocol. Work will be undertaken in areas such as mobility, infrastructure, and Internet of Things innovation.\n\nBuilding on initial work by the IOTA Foundation, teams from Imperial will focus on visualising transactions occurring across the IOTA Tangle. The Tangle is the IOTA protocol’s innovative, non-linear, distributed ledger architecture. The team will focus on visualising the IOTA ‘Mainnet’, which is in live operation today, as well as visualising a range of planned stress-tests focused on running thousands of transactions per second across the IOTA network.\n\nDr Catherine Mulligan, Co-Director for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering at Imperial, commented: \"The IOTA protocol is an extremely exciting new approach to distributed ledger technology that promises huge scalability and economic improvements over traditional blockchains. Imperial is home to some of the brightest young minds in cryptocurrency that will relish the opportunity to help build IOTA's capabilities further.\"\n\nImperial has proven its leading massive-scale data visualisation capabilities, having created a real-time data visualisation of Bitcoin that shows the global adoption and topology of Bitcoin as transactions occur.\n\nUnlike traditional blockchains, transactions occurring across the Tangle network are not sequential and are not based on ‘blocks’. This is key to IOTA's ability to scale dramatically using its innovative Distributed Acyclic Graph technology to handle thousands of transactions per second, dwarfing the scalability of both the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains.\n\nToday, the Bitcoin network is capable of processing approximately five transactions per second and the Ethereum blockchain around 20, which severely limits the utility of both networks. Recently, SatoshiPay announced its intention to switch from Bitcoin to IOTA in order to handle micropayments based on a truly scalable solution.\n\nWilliam Knottenbelt, Professor of Applied Quantitative Analysis at Imperial College, explains what this means for students: \"Our students want to be working with the very latest Open Source technology to hone their skills and contribute to projects that have the potential to change the world.

Both of these leading campaigns are still tens of thousands of signatures away from qualifying for the November ballot.\n\nIf one or both of these initiatives makes the ballot, the Pacific Northwest could become a real hotbed of marijuana reform activity this fall. An initiative to tax and regulate marijuana is already on the ballot in neighboring Washington, and nearby Montana, a sparsely populated state, is also the site of an active signature-gathering campaign for legalization with decent prospects of making the ballot.\n\nThe two best-positioned Oregon initiatives are the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act of 2012 (OCTA) and the Oregon Marijuana Policy Initiative (OMPI), both of which are well into their signature-gathering campaigns. Essentially serving as placemarkers for the next electoral cycle are the Control, Regulation, and Taxation of Cannabis Act (CRTC), which was recently approved for a draft title, and an initiative from Sensible Oregon, which has yet to be approved for a draft title.\n\nThe initiative currently furthest down the path toward the ballot box is the OCTA (Initiative Petition #9), sponsored by veteran activist and medical marijuana entrepreneur Paul Stanford. It would allow adult Oregonians to possess and grow their own marijuana. It would also allow Oregon farmers to grow hemp and license them to grow marijuana to be sold at state-licensed pot stores. An earlier version of OCTA failed to make the ballot in 2010. Campaign spokespersons stated that it had so far collected more than 50,000 signatures. It needs approximately 87,000 valid voter signatures to make the ballot, so OCTA's goal is to gather about 130,000 to have a comfortable cushion to account for invalid signatures.\n\nAlso well-placed is the OMPI, a constitutional amendment (Initiative Petition #24) to repeal the state's marijuana laws. It is supported by numerous in-state groups. \"Except for actions that endanger minors or public safety, neither the criminal offenses and sanctions nor the laws of civil seizure and forfeiture of this state shall apply to the private personal use, possession or production of marijuana by adults 21 years of age and older,\" the amendment states. \"The State may enact laws and regulations consistent with this amendment to reasonably define, limit and regulate the use, possession, production, sale or taxation of marijuana under state law.\" The OMPI campaign, operating as Citizens for Sensible Law Enforcement, reported 46,200 signatures handed in as of Sunday.

MacDonald captured a photograph of her high school friends posing on a deck at the exact moment it began to collapse.\n\nOn June 12, 2015, MacDonald attended a Senior Skip Day party at a friend's house on Hanf Road in Brazil Lake. The gathering was primarily attended by Grade 12 students, including her best friend. What was intended to be a day of celebration and relaxation instead ended in blood and tears, leaving MacDonald with lasting trauma that keeps her awake at night.\n\nMacDonald recalled that the day began peacefully. \"There was no drama,\" she said. \"Everyone was getting along and stuff. We were just sitting around in camp chairs in a circle, just talking and having a good time.\"\n\nAbout an hour into the party, a graduating student suggested that everyone pose on the deck for photographs, as handmade posters had already been taped to the deck's glass railing. MacDonald stood on the lawn holding another student's phone and took two photos of the group of approximately 40 students in rapid succession. The homeowner's wife was also taking photos at the time.\n\n\"I got one good picture, and I got the picture with the bend in the middle, like one second after,\" MacDonald explained. The first photo shows the group just before the deck began to give way. The second photo captured the crucial moment: surprised faces, wood splintering and shattering beneath the students.\n\nMacDonald said she was in shock when she lowered her phone. Her friends were sprawled on the ground, some crying out in pain. \"I can't really tell you what I did immediately after, but I probably stood there for about a minute and then called my mom,\" she said. Her mother instructed her to calm down, hang up, and help as many people as possible.\n\n\"In my head, one of my first thoughts was, 'Where's Alyssa?'\" MacDonald said, referring to her best friend. \"But where she landed, she wasn't hurt. So, once she got up, she was like me. We were just trying to help people … running around frantically with water and paper towels for the blood and stuff.\"\n\nMacDonald described the collapse as a \"freak accident\" in which alcohol was not a factor. About a dozen students were taken to the hospital with cuts and bruises, and one suffered a broken ankle. In the two weeks following the incident, MacDonald has struggled with sleep, haunted by the memory of the collapse. \"I just kept hearing the crunch of it collapsing and I just kept seeing it over and over. And I'd wake up every hour through the night,\" she said.\n\nOn June 20, MacDonald's photo was posted to the Facebook page for EMS1, a paramedic news network based in San Francisco. The post was captioned, \"Have you responded to a deck or balcony collapse? What are your lessons learned for other EMS professionals?\" Since its posting, the post received 80 comments, many of which were critical of how the incident was handled and the judgment of those present.\n\nMacDonald said the responses have made her angry, and she wants to set the record straight. \"[They] don't realize the damage they're doing to us.

Steven Stamkos added his NHL-leading 39th goal of the season, and Steve Downie also scored for the Lightning, who have a six-game winning streak. Tampa Bay, which has won all three games against the Flyers this season, trails the conference leaders by two points. \"You can't beat a team like that if you don't have everybody on the same page,\" Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher said.\n\nThe Lightning have missed the playoffs in each of the last three seasons and haven't won a postseason series since winning the franchise's only Stanley Cup in 2004. Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky was pulled after giving up three goals on six shots during the first, and was replaced by Brian Boucher.

While many believed the club had paid too much for a youngster, United had full faith in Powell's talents and the youth system at Crewe. They were confident they had acquired a potential superstar who would dazzle in the United midfield for years to come. He made his debut in September 2012, replacing the legendary Ryan Giggs, and within ten minutes, the youngster scored a spectacular goal from outside the box. However, that was essentially the peak of his time at the club. After that, the Englishman embarked on a series of loan spells across England, but luck refused to shine on him, and he failed to make any significant impact at the various clubs he visited. Manchester United eventually sold the now 23-year-old to Wigan Athletic in 2016, the same club against which he had made his debut.\n\nFederico Macheda is one of the few players who can boast of making a title-deciding impact on his debut. In 2009, the Red Devils were trailing Aston Villa when manager Sir Alex Ferguson decided to throw the relatively unknown Macheda onto the pitch—a player that few outside of United's faithful would have recognized. While the wider football world looked on, possibly with skepticism, Ferguson knew exactly what he was doing. As luck would have it, Macheda scored a brilliant goal in injury time, helping United win the match 2-1. Although he managed a few starts afterward, he failed to make a lasting impact. Macheda's career trajectory began to dip in 2011, leading to loan spells at five different clubs. Manchester United eventually released him in 2014, after which he joined Cardiff City.\n\nChris Eagles, now 31 years old and playing for Port Vale in the fourth tier of English football, was once considered one of the most promising youngsters in England at the turn of the millennium. He joined the United academy in 2000 from Watford, and Ferguson held high hopes for the teenager. However, like many on this list, Eagles failed to break into the first team and spent much of his time on loan. Manchester United eventually sold him to Burnley in 2008.\n\nBojan Djordjic signed for United in 1999 and was undoubtedly one of the most gifted youngsters of his era. However, he was more inclined toward pubs and parties than the training ground, which ultimately hindered his development and forced United to release him in 2005. After his release, Djordjic joined Rangers and has since played for eight different clubs.\n\nSir Alex Ferguson once described Ravel Morrison as the brightest 14-year-old he had ever seen at the club, surpassing even legends like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. Yet, Morrison also became what Ferguson considered the 'saddest case' of his managerial career at United. When Morrison finally left for West Ham in 2012, the prevailing sentiment at Old Trafford was, \"How could someone so talented be so reckless with his future?\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13332, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "22a389facc9131a864369fa5ff0d8bdb4ec12823", "raw_chars": 3168, "clean_chars": 3155, "edit_ratio": 0.5701, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Davis continued his efforts to establish an arts center.

Diaz planned to open a Mexican market in Morro Bay; his existing Los Osos location sells groceries and includes a grill where customers can eat Mexican food.\n\nOn January 14, 2012, Diaz arrived at the building to move in his belongings. According to graphic artist Toby Schultz, who was working in the building at the time, police officers arrived shortly after Diaz. The officers stated they were responding to a report of an illegally parked car but proceeded to question Diaz about the business he was setting up in the building. An officer then asked Diaz if he would be competing with Wixom. \"'So, you'd be in competition with Carla?' That was exactly what he said,\" Schultz recalled.\n\nAfter questioning Diaz, the officers walked over to Wixom and spoke with her for at least ten minutes, Schultz said. A second witness, who requested anonymity due to fears of retaliation, stated that the officers spoke with Wixom for about 20 minutes following their interaction with Diaz. According to the source, before the police went to question Diaz, Wixom was pointing them in his direction.\n\nWixom said she does not recall the incident and that she would not have directed the officers to Diaz. She noted, however, that she is close to police officers and talks to them frequently. Diaz declined to comment on the incident. Several sources said Diaz did not want to upset city officials, as he was concerned that the situation might jeopardize his use of the building.\n\nThe Morro Bay police log for the day shows that officers were responding to a \"suspicious person incident.\" City Attorney Anne Russell did not provide the names of either the person considered suspicious or the complainant when CalCoastNews requested the records under the California Public Records Act.\n\nSince then, Diaz had begun to construct the market and gained preliminary approval to open the business. He has not, however, received permission from the city to operate a grill.\n\nAs Diaz prepared to open the market, Davis continued to pursue his dream of hosting bands in the upstairs for private video production and small performances. Davis managed to host several bands in the building and even shot a music video there. City officials said he could only use the property for storage.\n\nOn October 31, 2013, the Morro Bay Police Department issued a memorandum planning a raid on Davis' activities. In the memorandum, Police Commander Bryan Millard wrote that Davis and Holliday had been hosting parties with live bands and that a disturbance would likely take place that evening. Millard directed the responding officers to obtain a signed noise complaint from a neighbor, issue a citation, and call the city building inspector and fire marshal, who had volunteered to come out to the scene after hours.\n\nAlthough Holliday had been gone from the building for nearly two years, Davis hosted performances and had planned a Halloween party with a live band that night.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13335, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "f88191f00349ce08bb8e9bc28d12448d993f4dcb", "raw_chars": 3477, "clean_chars": 3583, "edit_ratio": 0.5521, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "As crucial state elections and major general elections approach, political parties are seizing every opportunity to claim credit for their achievements and, increasingly, for their failures. As this article discusses, some parties are even bafflingly refusing to take credit for what they have actually accomplished.\n\nAnyone following the ruling party's speeches and campaign strategy will notice that the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the Food Security Bill, and the Right to Education Bill are touted as their three major accomplishments. However, as more people point out, these bills are essentially initiatives already implemented by the previous National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, with the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) merely giving them new names.\n\nConsider the RTI Act, which has been a game-changer in many ways. The act was enacted and assented to in June 2005, when the UPA had been in power for just one year. But what was the RTI really? It was essentially the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act of 2002, originally enacted by the NDA government.\n\nIn fact, the aim of the act remained the same as that of the RTI. A letter dated January 30, 2003, from the then Secretary of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) shows that the government was already moving to promote it. The letter described this as \"the beginning of a new era in the approach of government functioning where openness shall now be the rule and secrecy an exception.\" It further instructed all secretaries to \"provide beforehand the requisite infrastructure in the form of rules, etc.\"\n\nThe NDA government was so serious about implementing this act that the DoPT letter stated: \"The provisions contained therein give the Act an overriding effect in character. In keeping with this, we would suggest that an immediate review may be undertaken for all such Acts and Instruments administered by the Ministry and amendments made thereto, wherever necessary, so that the scheme is not subverted through the operation of conflicting provisions in these Acts/Instruments.\"\n\nThe letter continued, urging that \"suitable action may be taken on a priority basis so that there is no cause for delay in bringing the act into force,\" and concluded with: \"As the entire infrastructure for bringing the Act into force has to be set up within the shortest possible time, I shall be grateful if the above aspects receive your personal attention.\"\n\nThis correspondence dates back to January 2003, while the RTI Act was finally enacted in 2005. Bluntly put, this suggests that the UPA came to power, delayed implementation for a couple of years, gave the act a new name, and then took credit for it. In fact, activists like Aruna Roy and Arvind Kejriwal have arguably worked harder to popularize the act and bring it to the masses than any of the major political parties.\n\nThis pattern is not unique to the RTI Act.

All sufferers of cluster headaches, along with their doctors and loved ones, agree that the pain is brutal. This unique syndrome is so intense that during an attack, a person might bang their head against a wall or even pull their hair out. The attacks are usually focused on one side of the head, and the pain is often a piercing sensation in the eye or temple, which is why some people refer to them as \"ice-pick headaches.\" The attacks can occur daily, or even multiple times a day, for a few weeks or months. About 1.4 million Americans suffer from them, according to the American Headache Society.\n\nThese headaches can occur like clockwork. Some people experience them within a couple of hours of falling asleep, while others might only experience attacks in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. For some, the pain can kick in at a frighteningly specific time of day, such as 2:30 p.m. every day. The headaches can also be seasonal, with the spring or fall signaling the onset of attacks.\n\nAlthough medical professionals once doubted the severity of cluster headaches, most appreciate just how painful and frustrating these maddening attacks can be. Good doctors will work patiently with you to determine the right combination of drugs and behaviors that can limit attacks or ease the severity of the pain.\n\nLiving with cluster headaches means being on a continual search for respite. The laundry list of options you will try is endless, in part because of the frustratingly vague origin of the head pain.\n\nOne of the most effective treatments is pure oxygen, which is why many people with cluster headaches keep tanks around the house. According to the Mayo Clinic, inhaling 100% oxygen at a minimum rate of 12 liters a minute can head off an attack. A self-administered shot of a triptan drug such as Imitrex can also help; this class of drugs has been effective for migraines in general, and many people with cluster headaches benefit as well.\n\nWhen you are in the midst of a cluster, even leaving the house can be terrifying. You may not have the treatment you need with you should a headache come on, and the pain is so intense there is no way to mask what you are going through. Many sufferers complain of feeling almost agoraphobic.\n\nWhen the headaches keep recurring, you may turn to surgery to block nerve signals, implants that can stimulate certain centers in the brain, and even psychedelic drugs. A report in the journal Neurology suggested some patients' headaches cleared up after trying psilocybin mushrooms. Researchers continue to pursue possible cures and new treatments, which you can track at the National Headache Foundation, American Headache Society, and at support group-oriented sites such as ouch-us.org and clusterheadaches.com.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13356, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "6543975f79279d61ec3b63ade1fb14dff92bd25a", "raw_chars": 1322, "clean_chars": 1212, "edit_ratio": 0.7719, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "On September 21, 2016, the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office confirmed that the deadly drug carfentanil, typically used as a large animal tranquilizer, had been identified in a local drug possession case.

Is this because such parties often offer a broader, more satisfying moral framework than the left?\n\nWhy would a working-class person ever vote for a conservative candidate? This question has obsessed the American left since Ronald Reagan first captured the votes of so many union members, farmers, urban Catholics, and other relatively powerless people—often referred to as the \"Reagan Democrats.\" Isn't the Republican Party the party of big business? Don't the Democrats stand up for the little guy and try to redistribute wealth downwards?\n\nMany commentators on the left have embraced some version of the duping hypothesis: the Republican Party dupes people into voting against their economic interests by triggering outrage on cultural issues. \"Vote for us and we'll protect the American flag!\" say the Republicans. \"We'll make English the official language of the United States! And most importantly, we'll prevent gay people from threatening your marriage when they marry! Along the way, we'll cut taxes on the rich, cut benefits for the poor, and allow industries to dump their waste into your drinking water, but never mind that. Only we can protect you from gay, Spanish-speaking flag-burners!\"\n\nOne of the most robust findings in social psychology is that people find ways to believe whatever they want to believe. And the left really wants to believe the duping hypothesis. It absolves them from blame and protects them from the need to look in the mirror or figure out what they stand for in the 21st century.\n\nHere is a more painful but ultimately constructive diagnosis, from the point of view of moral psychology: politics at the national level is more like religion than it is like shopping. It is more about a moral vision that unifies a nation and calls it to greatness than it is about self-interest or specific policies. In most countries, the right tends to see that more clearly than the left. In America, the Republicans did the hard work of drafting their moral vision in the 1970s, and Ronald Reagan was their eloquent spokesman. Patriotism, social order, strong families, personal responsibility (not government safety nets), and free enterprise. Those are values, not government programs.\n\nThe Democrats, in contrast, have tried to win voters' hearts by promising to protect or expand programs for elderly people, young people, students, poor people, and the middle class. Vote for us and we'll use government to take care of everyone! But most Americans don't want to live in a nation based primarily on caring. That is what families are for.\n\nOne reason the left has such difficulty forging a lasting connection with voters is that the right has a built-in advantage—conservatives have a broader moral palate than liberals (as we call leftists in the US). Think about it this way: our tongues have taste buds that are responsive to five classes of chemicals, which we perceive as sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. Sweetness is generally the most appealing of the five tastes, but when it comes to a serious meal, most people want more than that.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8010/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13358, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "14f068069ce3cc8549ef9925ba70753d3418eb2c", "raw_chars": 3427, "clean_chars": 2841, "edit_ratio": 0.9282, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "He proposed throwing the election to John F.

Kennedy won in a landslide, and Roger noted that this was the first time he had ever used disinformation, though he never practiced it again.\n\nDavies noted with laughter that Roger found he had a gift. He read Barry Goldwater's book, \"Conscience of a Conservative,\" and embraced conservative ideology. When he was about 19 and in college, he became involved with Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign, the one that led to the Watergate break-in and the scandal that ended Nixon's presidency. Nixon was known as one of the biggest dirty tricksters in American political history. Davies asked what role Roger Stone played in the Nixon campaign.\n\nPehme responded that one of the extraordinary things about Roger is that he is a true political prodigy, a rarity in American politics. He was already involved in political campaigns in his early teens. By the time he was in high school, he was electing grown men to office in New York and Connecticut, and they would call him in his dorm room when he was a freshman to inform them how to vote on key issues. From the outset, he had both a gift for politics and a taste for power. When he joined the Nixon campaign at 19, he was not a ruddy-faced intern but was already respected by those who saw his talent. Within CREEP, the acronym for the Committee to Re-Elect the President, Roger was not a piker, but he was still a lower-level dirty trickster. They sent him on missions to undermine some of Nixon's opponents. Because of these lower-level dirty tricks, he became the youngest person called before the Watergate grand jury.\n\nHe was discussed in the grand jury testimony, and Roger says he was pretty much just a low-level henchman. However, he was branded with the infamy of being involved in Watergate. Rather than running away from it, he embraced it, which gave him street cred and allowed him to move up in the party. He used it as a springboard to become elected president of the National Young Republicans, which was his first major stepping stone into the highest rungs of Republican politics.\n\nDavies noted that Roger Stone was a bit player in Nixon's re-election campaign and the dirty tricks that accompanied it, and that he did not have a personal relationship with Nixon until later. He asked Roger to tell them about that.\n\nPehme explained that what was fascinating about Roger was that he was drawn to Nixon after Nixon had left office in disgrace, when he was radioactive to the nation and a pariah.

It is unclear what actually happened, especially since neither Trump nor Roger has a great track record of truth-telling. I think it was a clash of egos.

When we opened up the story, there was just Roger's name everywhere. We were like, wow, Roger's going to get fired because nobody could take the limelight from Trump. It had to be the Trump show, and it was too much the Roger show.\n\nShortly after that article came out, Roger was in some way ousted from the campaign. But because he was formally ousted from the campaign, that didn't mean that he didn't continue to have extraordinary influence with Trump. What's so amazing about Trump is what a small nucleus of advisers he has. Although he's had this multinational humongous corporation for years, he really just has a small orbit of advisers. And Roger is one of the people that Trump trusts the most.\n\nRoger, of all the people that we met who knew Trump over the years, only Roger and Paul Manafort would call Trump Donald as opposed to Mr. Trump. That spoke to the intimacy of their relationship. Trump knows that Roger will always give him an unvarnished opinion. Roger is an avid memo writer. He writes these memos to Trump in big font, in bullet points, and keeps them to one page. He knows how to communicate with Trump in vocabulary and in a message that Trump will understand and take to heart.

Do we know?\n\nPEHME: We don't know exactly what Roger did with the campaign, but we do know that he gets a firm foothold back in it when Paul Manafort takes over as the campaign chairman from Corey Lewandowski. Obviously, Paul Manafort is one of Roger's oldest friends and one of his oldest associates. As he says with glee in our movie, when Manafort takes the reins, a journalist who knows Roger well says that Roger's back in the saddle.

Roger was very much the belle of the ball.\n\nFor the rest of the campaign, Roger is clearly influencing the course, but to what degree he is making day-to-day decisions is unclear. What is absolutely manifest is that Roger's opinion is valued and that he is having input in how things are unfolding.\n\nDAVIES: OK, now Roger Stone is of interest to investigators who are looking into the connections between the Trump campaign and Russian nationals.

This suggests that water-containing soil is available everywhere on Mars. It could also mean some process on Mars is mixing its dirt evenly across its surface, or that the composition of the planet's crust is similar everywhere.

However, if the researchers left the light off, the same mice would attack over 90% of the time.\n\nIn mated male fathers, the same light-induced activity in the neurons caused a marked increase in grooming of the pups.\n\nThe authors concluded that the neural circuits responsible for caring for or attacking young pups coexist simultaneously in the mouse brain.

Bush and modified by President Obama. With the release of his National Security Strategy report this week, it is evident that President Trump has a firm grasp of realism and holds the justified belief that the world is an increasingly dangerous place.\n\nIn naming China and Russia as disruptive forces on the world stage, the president's strategy notes that these two nations are rivals that must be challenged, but not necessarily enemies that must be defeated. This distinction is important for future tactics. The report identifies Iran and North Korea as rogue states clearly interested in regional destabilization. It also identifies transnational threats such as jihadists and cyber warriors.\n\nWhile these designations yield to the obvious, they also depart from the Obama narrative that the arc of history is moving inexorably toward stabilization. Some critics of President Trump agree that there isn't an arc of history that assures U.S. dominance. That is correct, but it is wrong to argue that the Obama team didn't employ this argument through its continuing assertions, such as \"the tide of war is receding.\"\n\nSince the Obama foreign policy mission was disengagement, President Obama underestimated the role unpleasant actors might play in the vacuum he left behind. President Trump's newly stated national security strategy is a clear corrective to that misguided vision. He puts the threats we face in perspective, indicating his desire to marshal \"our will and capabilities\" to compete and prevent unfavorable shifts in various regions of the world.\n\nIn the past, it was conventional wisdom to contend that China and Russia were invited into the global forums so that they would be tied down by a rules-based order. But this did not happen and was a further extension of Obama naiveté. President Trump recognizes the return of \"great power competition\" that belies ideological commitments. He embraces the view of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger regarding a world of balance of power that relies on clearly viewed national interest.\n\nPresident Trump's assessment of Russia demonstrates this point: \"Russia aims to weaken U.S. influence in the world and divide us from our allies and partners.\" So much for friendly rhetoric. From my point of view, the most newsworthy portion of the report is the willingness of the Trump administration to \"champion American values\" around the globe, including fair treatment for religious minorities and \"the dignity of individuals.\"\n\nRather than hide behind the gilded belief that America is widely detested, the president is sending out the message that the U.S. is an unequivocal defender of Western Civilization and has the inner strength to defeat the dark impulses of totalitarianism. President Trump is unquestionably a realist; yet there is a decidedly romantic dimension to his vision as well. His leap away from \"perfection\" to stability is one thing. On the other hand, the president wants to win because he believes in American principles.\n\nAs a result, President Trump envisions our military prowess and economic muscle as offering distinct advantages.

As a devoted fan of his music and poetry, I tracked him down to a small hotel in Kemp's Corner. I initially asked if he could autograph the CDs and books I planned to leave at the reception, but Cohen emerged and invited me to stay for a conversation instead. That encounter turned into a five-hour discussion, marking the beginning of an 18-year friendship. We exchanged our final emails just five weeks ago, on his 82nd birthday.\n\nDuring that autumn of 1998, Cohen spent every day reciting the verses of the 13th-century Marathi bhakti poet Sant Dnyaneshwar. He had come to Bombay to attend the satsangs of Advaita guru Ramesh Balsekar at Warden Road. Cohen was not merely reciting the verses by rote; he understood the English meanings of the words. He was deeply pondering the concepts of sagun, the worship of God with form, and nirgun, the worship of God without form, and why both were essentially the same.\n\nWhen Cohen arrived in India in 1998, he was already a Zen monk. He had spent five years in deep meditation and silence with Zen Roshi at Mount Baldy, near Los Angeles. It had been a decade since he had recorded new music or performed publicly. The folk and poetry icon of the 1960s had completely stepped out of the public eye. Instead, his lifelong quest for knowledge and inner peace had consumed his time and attention. He was drawn to Bombay by his curiosity to meet Balsekar, the author of the book Consciousness Speaks, which he had read while in his monastery.\n\nCohen spent much of 1999 and 2000 in Bombay, making brief visits until 2003. His purpose was always the same: to attend Balsekar's daily morning satsangs and spend time with the teacher. Many of these conversations have been preserved in audio and video recordings by Balsekar's devotees. Between the Buddhist teachings of Roshi and the Vedanta teachings of Balsekar, Cohen finally found the inner peace he had sought throughout his adult life. Sylvie Simmons's biography, I'm Your Man, explains this period well. During this time, Cohen returned to writing poetry and sketching in his art book.\n\nOn some Sunday mornings, Cohen took me along to Balsekar's satsangs. These were Vedanta-style question-and-answer discussions where Balsekar's philosophy seemed to offer answers to life's biggest questions. The teacher's clarity of thought and his delivery in English attracted many Western seekers. During most sessions, Cohen sat quietly but attentively. As his friendship with Balsekar deepened, they also spent time alone in the evenings, away from the satsang devotees.\n\nA quiet life\n\nA typical day in Cohen's Bombay routine involved walking from his hotel room in Kemp's Corner to Balsekar's apartment, 1.5 kilometers away. On his way back, he would stop for chai at a roadside stall and then drop in for a swim at the exclusive Breach Candy club. The rest of the day was spent in his room, reading, meditating, sketching, and writing. He accessed his email on his laptop and communicated with his daughter Lorca, his son Adam, and his manager Kelly in Los Angeles.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13437, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "8c747bfc3eb59196e1deb8dcf2e276e6e3022c23", "raw_chars": 3413, "clean_chars": 3348, "edit_ratio": 0.1791, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "A lot of successful diplomacy is about ambiguity, nuance, and turning a blind eye.

Maybe, maybe not.\n\nAt least, as per the information to date, she paid for the trip herself, so there would appear to be no question of misuse of public funds. Then again, with so many meetings on the schedule, including with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself, why should she have paid? Or is Britain’s foreign outreach so strapped for cash that ministers are now required, where possible, to combine business and pleasure? Whatever the rights and wrongs of this trip, none of it reflects well on the workings of government, least of all against the current fetid backdrop of Brexit and sex.\n\nBoris Johnson, Britain’s Foreign Secretary, when he appeared before the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, was asked what he was doing to secure the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a dual British-Iranian national detained in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison on undisclosed charges. Johnson said airily that she had been \"simply teaching people journalism.\" As a journalist himself, Johnson surely knows that there are many countries, Iran being one, where teaching and/or practicing journalism can come with potentially grave complications.\n\nWorse, in so saying, he deviated not only from the consistent British script—that Zaghari-Ratcliffe was in Iran for nothing more dubious than a holiday with her family—but from the truth. As stressed by her bosses, her job at the Thomson Reuters Foundation entails neither practicing nor teaching journalism. Johnson, it would appear, made perhaps the same mistake as the Iranian prosecutors in inferring the nature of her work from her affiliation.\n\nFrom there, it took the Iranian authorities less than 48 hours to haul Zaghari-Ratcliffe back into court and threaten her with five more years, in addition to her current five-year sentence. Understandably, her husband and campaigners demanded that Johnson issue a retraction. Already frustrated by what they see as the Foreign Office’s distinctly half-hearted approach to her plight, the British foreign secretary had with one careless remark seemed to confirm Iranian suspicions.

Yes, critical reaction has been mixed, and yes, ratings have dipped by more than 6 million viewers since the pilot. However, the power of Marvel, chiefly ABC's ties with the Disney-owned comic giant, means that Agents of SHIELD is guaranteed at least a second season. Showrunners Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon have talked up plans for a wrap-up Kickstarter movie in the style of Veronica Mars if the show is axed, but it is highly doubtful they will have to rely on fan funding any time soon.\n\nCommunity is a 6/1 shot at renewal. The little cult sitcom that could, we are quietly confident that at least one half of the Community fan mantra, \"Six seasons and a movie!\" will come true next month. Even the show's creator, Dan Harmon, admitted recently that at this point, the only thing weirder than a renewal would be not getting a sixth season, adding, \"If we get a sixth season, they owe us a movie, right?\"\n\nHannibal is a 10/1 shot at renewal. Prestige is a surprisingly powerful force in US network television, as critical acclaim can help keep a show on the air even if its audience numbers are not exactly stellar. The likelihood of Hannibal getting a third season is then reasonably strong. Its ratings on Friday nights are low but not disastrously so, while critics simply can't get enough of it, so chances of survival are, if not high, then at least moderate.\n\nRevolution is a 25/1 shot at renewal. It is popular consensus that, on a creative level, the second season of Revolution has been stronger than the first. Unfortunately, that surge in quality has not translated into higher viewing figures. While the first run never dipped below 5.5 million viewers, recent episodes have seen the show at just above 4 million. This dystopian sci-fi series is far from a lame duck, but its continued survival depends on the quality of NBC's drama pilots this season. If a new show impresses the executives, then Revolution could get the chop.\n\nAlmost Human is a 40/1 shot at renewal. Karl Urban's futuristic thriller drew decent but far from spectacular numbers when it aired its initial 13-episode run. Fox has been known to stick by an underdog sci-fi series before, just think of Almost Human creator Joel Wyman's previous effort, Fringe. But that 13-episode tally is concerning. Fox was not willing to order a full first season of Almost Human, so will it be willing to order a second? Again, this show's fate is tied to the network's 2014-15 pilot slate; it will be back only if Fox cannot find a suitable replacement.\n\nDracula is a 50/1 shot at renewal. A series average of 3.2 million is not great, even on NBC, and with Katie McGrath jumping ship to play with dinosaurs, you would be forgiven for writing Dracula off.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13440, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "b92f8347d402a71090d09e267fcce500ae82f746", "raw_chars": 3298, "clean_chars": 3298, "edit_ratio": 0.4545, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Carlos Delgado's career OPS stands at .929, a mark surpassed by only 18 hitters currently enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Conversely, 118 Hall of Famers have a lower career OPS than Delgado, with Hank Aaron leading that list at .928.\n\nDelgado was never a great defensive player or a speed demon; he was a pure slugger. At his peak with the Toronto Blue Jays from 1997 to 2004, very few players could match his power. In 2000, he played in all 162 games for the Jays, hitting a remarkable .344/.470/.664 with 41 home runs. He led the league in doubles and total bases that year, though he lost the MVP award to Jason Giambi. In 2003, he hit .302/.426/.593 with 42 home runs, leading the league in OPS and RBI. Many felt he should have won the AL MVP that year, but the award went to Alex Rodriguez.\n\nDuring that seven-year window from 1997 to 2004, where he was the heart and soul of a inconsistent Blue Jays team, Delgado posted a 145 wRC+. That figure is better than those of Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, and Frank Thomas.\n\nCarlos Delgado was a great hitter. The one thing his career lacked, aside from a World Series championship, was longevity. Delgado retired at age 37 after a series of injuries, playing out his twilight years with the Mets. Had he not retired young, he likely would have eclipsed 500 home runs; he retired with 473 home runs and 1,512 RBI. He made the playoffs with the Mets just once, in 2006, where he hit .351/.442/.757 before the team bowed out in the NLCS.\n\nHis 2009 retirement announcement brought little fanfare. To everyone outside of Toronto and a handful of Mets fans, Carlos Delgado was an afterthought. But before we discuss the contentious nature of the BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot, it is worth taking a moment to truly appreciate Carlos Delgado as a player.\n\nConsider September 2003, when Carlos Delgado hit the 300th home run of his career. In his next three at-bats in that same game, he hit his 301st, 302nd, and 303rd. He remains the only player in MLB history to hit four home runs in four at-bats in a single game.\n\nCarlos Delgado was a significant part of my childhood. Although I try to care very little about the opinions of a shadowy group of elderly sportswriters regarding which plaques belong in a museum in Cooperstown, it is a shame that Carlos Delgado will never make it into the Hall of Fame.\n\nRecently, it was revealed that Carlos Delgado received only a 3.8% share of Hall of Fame votes. Since that falls short of the mandated 5% threshold, he will fall off the ballot next year. Delgado's Hall of Fame case was effectively over before it ever started.\n\nI know that Carlos Delgado has always been a long shot for the Hall of Fame. He played first base, and he did not play it particularly well. He spent almost his entire career in Toronto during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a time when the Jays were mostly terrible and very few American sportswriters watched him play. He also played during the greatest offensive period in baseball history, which works against his case in many ways.\n\nBut to go down like this, with barely a whimper, is sad. Carlos deserved better. More than anything, Delgado is a victim of his era. He put up great numbers at a time when his colleagues were putting up cartoonishly insane numbers.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13450, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "0559400e03ea6a64ca4db72deada49feb4ade471", "raw_chars": 2638, "clean_chars": 2750, "edit_ratio": 0.4866, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is one of America’s most respected and famous elder statespeople. Given her stature, one would expect her speech on the second night of the Democratic National Convention, in which she endorsed Hillary Clinton, to be compelling. However, it was not, and that fact should trouble Democrats.\n\nTo understand the nature of the speech, one need only read a single paragraph and luxuriate in its mediocrity and clichés. Albright noted that when Hillary served as secretary of state, she watched her partner with President Obama to restore the country's reputation around the world. She described how Clinton fought terrorism, stopped the spread of nuclear weapons, and promoted diplomacy, defense, development, and democracy—what Albright termed \"smart power\"—in every corner of the globe. As Albright traveled the world, she was reminded of the importance of having a representative who is trusted by allies and listens more than she talks.\n\nWhat is striking about this passage is that it is the only part of Albright’s short address that discussed Clinton’s tenure as America’s chief diplomat. If anyone could be expected to explain what Clinton actually accomplished as secretary of state, it would be the last Democrat to hold the position before her. Yet, in the paragraph above, Albright did not name a single specific achievement.\n\nThis omission is deeply strange. The Republicans had just spent the previous week bashing Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, blaming her for everything from the Benghazi attacks to the rise of ISIS and the Syrian civil war. Albright’s speech should have served as the beginning of a counter-narrative, allowing Democrats to make a strong case that Clinton actually made a real, positive impact on major policy issues. That did not happen.\n\nAlbright did praise Clinton’s judgment, listing anecdotes about their travels together during the Clinton White House years. She also landed some effective critiques of Donald Trump, stating, \"Many have argued that Donald would harm our national security if he were elected president. The fact is he has already done damage just by running for president.\" Indeed, with a single stray comment, Trump had already damaged the NATO alliance and made a war with Russia incrementally more likely.\n\nHowever, needling Trump on foreign policy and sharing cute stories about eating cabbage in Prague is not the same as making a detailed case that Hillary Clinton has a proven record of success in foreign policy. The Republicans had a coherent, albeit false, narrative about Clinton—that she set the world on fire. Democrats need a better answer to that claim than what Madeleine Albright offered.

General Patton had assigned us to this place for four days, ostensibly to keep the now-free prisoners off the roads needed to supply his troops who were racing through Germany at the end of the war. The full explanation was given the prisoners, and there was no problem; they understood. Patton had assigned a whole field hospital to the place along with a big kitchen unit. He eventually sent in an engineering outfit with bulldozers to dig a mass grave for those bodies. We were doing everything we possibly could for the prisoners. Later on, when things became quieter, military government people arrived to help the prisoners get home—if there were homes for them to get to.\n\nA little later in the evening, the three of us walked back into the camp, passed by the crematorium and the stacks of bodies, and wandered into the camp proper. There were temporary lights strung around for the medics to do their work. The prisoners came up and surrounded us, moving with us as they jabbered, but they spoke a language we did not understand—they were probably speaking several languages we did not understand. There was the slightest of communication. They gave way and moved along with us. We must have appeared as giants in their midst: we well-fed, healthy, strong, young men; they gaunt, shrunken, their ugly striped uniforms hanging on them.\n\nThey were jabbering, and we wanted to listen, to understand, but there seemed to be no way we could. After some moments, we figured out they wanted our cigarettes. In no time, we were out of them—they just disappeared. We had nothing else with us they really wanted, but they stuck with us and guided us to another set of buildings, which had the look of large barns with wide doors in the middle of the front. Entering the first of these, we found we were entering their home. There were stacks of bunks five or six high, crowded together with very little room between a bunk and the one above it. (It was my thought that one would have a rough time merely rolling over.) The bunks were much too short even for short people. The lower bunks served as rungs of a ladder to the upper ones. How many hundreds of people slept in this one building was beyond me. Then there were all of those dead bodies outside that must have come from here. Where did the Germans get them all?\n\nJust inside the door were people on the lower bunks so close to death they didn't have the strength to rise. They were, literally, skeletons covered with skin—nothing more than that—there appeared to be no substance to them. The next day when the press arrived, one of the photographers for LIFE magazine had one of the really bad ones propped up against the door frame in the daylight. He took the photograph, but out of sight in the darkness of the building, behind the man, were the people propping him up. I have seen that photograph several times in the years since, and every time I see it, my stomach rolls a little, my mind goes into some kind of a dance, and it takes me a little time to return to normal.

When we split at the end of the four hours, he pointed to my pack of cigarettes. My first thought was that I didn’t want him to smoke them, but then I remembered the events from the previous day in the camp when my pack of cigarettes simply disappeared. Cigarettes were for barter; they were exchange material. I had no idea how rich one was when one had a whole pack of cigarettes. To these people, cigarettes were money, and I was getting them free from PX rations. When we parted, I loaded him up with candy bars and my extra pack of cigarettes. He had them all tucked inside his shirt and went streaking back through the hole in the fence and up the hill.\n\nAfter I was relieved and heading back up the hill, I saw Tim coming down the road behind me, so I slowed until he caught up. When we got to Bill’s tower, Bill was waiting for us, and the three of us walked up the road together. As we approached the gate area, we noticed the place was in a kind of mild uproar. The press people were still there, joined by a lot of big shots from the army. Buchenwald was filled with those who had to \"spectate.\" People were walking around and through the aisles of those stacks of dead bodies. To me, this was the final indignity. It was an exhibition. God, help us. Those people in the stacks were dead; they were gone. Nothing could really hurt them further, but it hurt me that they were now an exhibit. The three of us at the gate stood there, looked, turned our backs, and walked away.\n\nAll the way from the tower, I had been telling Bill and Tim about the little kid. Bill had noticed the two of us in the tower. I’d had the kid standing on the table and had put my field jacket on him, which was much, much too large for him; then I put my steel helmet on his head, and the two of us giggled. On the way back up the road, our moods lightened a little with the stories about the little fellow, and we had started to feel a bit better. We got to the gate and saw the carnival atmosphere, and our good spirits vanished. Scowling, we quietly walked back to the barracks. We had to go near the Commandant’s house, and all of the \"tourists\" were lined up to go through another \"exhibit,\" where someone was busy telling \"Ilse\" stories. That was enough for me. I was glad to get back to the barracks.\n\nWe headed for the mess tent, talking about what had been going on all day long with the press and the visitors. Some of our guys had been disgusted by a bunch of nurses or WACs in their Class A uniforms taking pictures of the naked dead. It was not the display of the genitals that shook some of us up; it was that final indignity, the exhibition. Someone mentioned, while we were eating, that the engineers would be here tomorrow to bury those poor people. That made me feel a little better; no one could hurt them anymore after their burial.

Elam saw the newest batch of packages sent out and immediately made it known that he wanted more.\n\nThat's a large part of what this recruiting tactic has created: a competition for who gets the most attention for the program. Although the Pots of Gold concept isn't new, the volume of letters contained in it is.\n\nDalton Schultz from Bingham High School in South Jordan, Utah, an uncommitted tight end prospect, was one of the latest recipients of the Pots of Gold. The No. 138-ranked prospect posted a video on YouTube showcasing all the mail he received from coaches. Schultz believes this strategy is more than hype and that this type of recruiting can help sway prospects to Notre Dame.\n\n\"I think for most kids, getting something like this would have some impact on their decision,\" he said. \"Only 11 kids got that, so that's pretty humbling. It lets recruits know that they're genuinely interested in getting you there. That buzz just gives Notre Dame more positive publicity, which is always helpful for recruiting purposes.\"\n\nThe attention wasn't just put on uncommitted prospects, either. The staff sent one to recent commit Kolin Hill from Samuel Clemens High School in Texas, a three-star linebacker. Hill was surprised he received one of the over-the-top shipments because he's already committed to Notre Dame. He believes this is something genuine and special rather than a way to create publicity and exposure with other recruits.\n\n\"From my perspective, it makes me feel wanted and shows interest because the letters are handwritten,\" Hill said. \"They take the time to write and design all the letters, so recruits realize that and feel special. It's just different from getting letters from every other school, because of the time and effort they put into it.\"", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13483, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bcb6494f0e3684d48368cd1dc3572bae3300820d", "raw_chars": 3359, "clean_chars": 3432, "edit_ratio": 0.3176, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "BRASILIA, Brazil, August 16, 2012 (ENS) – A federal court in the Brazilian capital ordered a halt to the construction of the controversial Belo Monte Hydroelectric Dam on the Amazon’s Xingu River late Monday. If completed, Belo Monte would be the world’s third-largest dam, diverting up to 80 percent of the Xingu River from its natural course.\n\nIndigenous people of the Xingu River region and conservationists from Brazil and other countries have been demonstrating against the proposed dam for years. They object that Belo Monte’s two planned reservoirs and two 75-kilometer-long canals would flood a total of 668 square kilometers, including 400 square kilometers of forest. This would release greenhouse gas methane and force approximately 20,000 people from their homes in Altamira and Vitoria do Xingu.\n\nIn its ruling, the Federal Court of the 1st Region (TRF1) upheld an earlier decision that declared Congress’s authorization of the project in 2005 to be illegal. The court ruled that the Brazilian Constitution and International Labour Organization Convention 169, to which Brazil is a party, require that Congress can only authorize the use of water resources for hydroelectric projects after an independent assessment of environmental impacts and subsequent consultations with affected indigenous peoples.\n\nFederal Judge Souza Prudente, who authored the ruling, emphasized that the views of affected communities must be taken into consideration. \"The concept of property is different for Indigenous people than for white people. The Indigenous population has a mystical vision of property, and the Constitution guarantees it,\" Judge Prudente stated. \"The court’s decision highlights the urgent need for the Brazilian government and Congress to respect the federal constitution and international agreements on prior consultations with indigenous peoples regarding projects that put their livelihoods and territories at risk. Human rights and environmental protection cannot be subordinated to narrow business interests.\"\n\nProject consortium Norte Energia, S.A., led by the parastatal energy company Eletrobras, faces a daily fine of R$500,000 (US$250,000) if it does not comply with the suspension. The consortium is expected to appeal the decision in the Brazilian Supreme Court.\n\n\"This latest court ruling vindicates what indigenous people, human rights activists, and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office have been demanding all along,\" said Brent Millikan of the nonprofit conservation group International Rivers, based in Brasilia. \"We hope that President Dilma Rousseff’s attorney general and the head judge of the federal court, TRF1, will not try to subvert this important decision, as they have done in similar situations in the past.\"\n\nNorte Energia has not yet received communication from Eletrobras regarding the court order. The construction site was quiet on Tuesday because it was a holiday in Para commemorating the state's accession to Brazil.\n\nThe court ruling followed a statement filed by federal prosecutors in the state of Pará, where the dam construction is taking place.

Larry Hurtado addressed the sensationalist stories circulating in 2015, offering a sobering perspective on the matter. He also summarized the backstory, noting a notable incident where this claim was used by fundamentalist Dan Wallace against Bart Ehrman in a 2012 debate. This was highly questionable, as Wallace cited evidence that had never been published, never undergone peer review, and which Ehrman could not have examined or even known about. Contrasting Hurtado’s comments with Wallace’s reveals a stark difference in tone and rigor.\n\nIf any new information emerges regarding this Gospel fragment, I will share it. Professional papyrologists are currently working on it. For instance, Dirk Obbink has begun discussing his work on the mummy mask finds, although he has not yet mentioned any Christian texts. I expect that something will eventually be released, but it is unlikely to vindicate Wallace’s exaggerated claims. Ultimately, aside from the hype, there may be a new early manuscript fragment to add to the existing collection, but I doubt there is a first-century manuscript of Mark.\n\nThe lesson here is clear: do not trust fundamentalists, wait for peer-reviewed publication, and only then engage in discussion. Until that happens, nothing about this discovery constitutes usable data.\n\nIn conclusion, be wary of similar claims in the future.

It highlights five minor but useful improvements introduced across several Symfony components.\n\n**A Non-Static API for the CssSelector Component**\nContributed by Christophe Coevoet in pull request #15934, the CssSelector component previously exposed a static API in Symfony 2.7 to convert CSS selectors into XPath expressions. Symfony 2.8 introduces a new non-static API. Instead of calling the static method `CssSelector::toXPath()`, developers now instantiate a `CssSelectorConverter` object and call its `toXPath()` method. This new API allows developers to keep a reference to the converter object and its internal object graph, which can be faster than recreating the converter for every conversion. Additionally, HTML is now the default format. If you are working with XML content, you can pass `false` as an argument to the `CssSelectorConverter` constructor. This component is primarily used by Symfony developers through the DomCrawler component in their tests, so this change does not affect them and requires no additional modifications.\n\n**Domain Exceptions in the Console Component**\nContributed by Jérôme Tamarelle in pull request #14894, the Console component previously relied on generic PHP exceptions such as `InvalidArgumentException` and `LogicException`. To make the component consistent with other parts of the framework, Symfony 2.8 introduces custom \"domain exceptions\" that allow for better error messages. For instance, when a command is not found, the component previously threw a generic `InvalidArgumentException`. Now, it throws a custom `CommandNotFoundException`, which allows developers to define a list of alternative commands with similar names to the one that was not found. The first custom exceptions defined for the Console component include `CommandNotFoundException`, `ExceptionInterface`, `InvalidArgumentException`, `InvalidOptionException`, `LogicException`, and `RuntimeException`.\n\n**A New ClassCache Cache Warmer**\nContributed by Tugdual Saunier in pull request #16263, Symfony generates a large `classes.php` file in the cache containing the most frequently accessed classes to improve performance and reduce I/O load. Bundles can add new classes to this file using the `addClassesToCompile()` method. Symfony 2.8 introduces a new cache warmer that generates this `classes.php` file. This change removes the known slowness associated with the first hit to a Symfony application, even when the cache has already been warmed up. Furthermore, this feature allows a Symfony application to run on a read-only filesystem, such as within a Docker container.\n\n**Twig Template Warming in Non-Standard Paths**\nContributed by...", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13505, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "d132c81cf7b056b54d897f8b24827f5f0ef00eb8", "raw_chars": 2275, "clean_chars": 1868, "edit_ratio": 0.5911, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Russia has accused Ukraine of attempting to storm into Crimea, the territory seized and annexed by Moscow in 2014.

Because of many sufficiently marked variations, Niihau people, when visiting or living in Honolulu, substitute the Oahu dialect for their own – apparently easy to do – saying that otherwise people in Honolulu have trouble understanding them. Niihau people speak very rapidly; many vowels and entire syllables are dropped or whispered.” — Samuel Elbert and Mary Pukui, Hawaiian Grammar (1979)\n\nThe isolated island of Niʻihau, located off the southwest coast of Kauai, is the one island where Hawaiian is still spoken as the language of daily life. Elbert & Pukui (1979:23) states that \"[v]ariations in Hawaiian dialects have not been systematically studied\", and that \"[t]he dialect of Niʻihau is the most aberrant and the one most in need of study\". They recognized that Niʻihauans can speak Hawaiian in substantially different ways. Their statements are based in part on some specific observations made by Newbrand (1951).\n\nOrthography\n\nHawaiians had no written language prior to Western contact, except for petroglyph symbols. The modern Hawaiian alphabet, ka pīʻāpā Hawaiʻi, is based on the Latin script. Hawaiian words end only in vowels, and every consonant must be followed by a vowel. The Hawaiian alphabetical order has all of the vowels before the consonants.\n\nAa Ee Ii Oo Uu Hh Kk Ll Mm Nn Pp Ww ʻ /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ /h/ /k~t/ /l/ /m/ /n/ /p/ /v~w/ ʔ/\n\nOrigin\n\nThis writing system was developed by American Protestant missionaries during 1820–1826. It was the first thing they ever printed in Hawaiʻi, on January 7, 1822, and it originally included the consonants B, D, R, T, and V, in addition to the current ones (H, K, L, M, N, P, W), and it had F, G, S, Y and Z for \"spelling foreign words\". The initial printing also showed the five vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U) and seven of the short diphthongs (AE, AI, AO, AU, EI, EU, OU).\n\nIn 1826, the developers voted to eliminate some of the letters which represented functionally redundant allophones (called \"interchangeable letters\"), enabling the Hawaiian alphabet to approach the ideal state of one-symbol-one-phoneme, and thereby optimizing the ease with which people could teach and learn the reading and writing of Hawaiian. For example, instead of spelling one and the same word as pule, bule, pure, and bure (because of interchangeable p/b and l/r), the word is spelled only as pule.\n\nInterchangeable B/P. B was dropped, P was kept.\n\nInterchangeable L/R. R and D were dropped, L was kept.\n\nInterchangeable K/T. T was dropped, K was kept.\n\nInterchangeable V/W.

The short vowels are /u, i, o, e, a/, and the long vowels, if considered separate phonemes rather than simply sequences of identical vowels, are /uː, iː, oː, eː, aː/. When stressed, short /e/ and /a/ have been described as becoming [ɛ] and [ɐ], while when unstressed they are [e] and [ə][citation needed]. Parker Jones (2017), however, did not find a reduction of /a/ to [ə] in the phonetic analysis of a young speaker from Hilo, Hawaiʻi; so there is at least some variation in how /a/ is realized.[89] /e/ also tends to become [ɛ] next to /l/, /n/, and another [ɛ], as in Pele [pɛlɛ]. Some grammatical particles vary between short and long vowels. These include a and o \"of\", ma \"at\", na and no \"for\". Between a back vowel /o/ or /u/ and a following non-back vowel (/a e i/), there is an epenthetic [w], which is generally not written. Between a front vowel /e/ or /i/ and a following non-front vowel (/a o u/), there is an epenthetic [j] (a y sound), which is never written.\n\nDiphthongs\n\nThe short-vowel diphthongs are /iu, ou, oi, eu, ei, au, ai, ao, ae/. In all except perhaps /iu/, these are falling diphthongs. However, they are not as tightly bound as the diphthongs of English, and may be considered vowel sequences.[89] (The second vowel in such sequences may receive the stress, but in such cases it is not counted as a diphthong.) In fast speech, /ai/ tends to [ei] and /au/ tends to [ou], conflating these diphthongs with /ei/ and /ou/.\n\nThere are only a limited number of vowels which may follow long vowels, and some authors treat these sequences as diphthongs as well: /oːu, eːi, aːu, aːi, aːo, aːe/.\n\nPhonotactics\n\nHawaiian syllable structure is (C)V. All CV syllables occur except for wū;[90] wu occurs only in two words borrowed from English.[91][92] As shown by Schütz,[58][80][93] Hawaiian word-stress is predictable in words of one to four syllables, but not in words of five or more syllables. Hawaiian phonological processes include palatalization and deletion of consonants, as well as raising, diphthongization, deletion, and compensatory lengthening of vowels.[83][94] Phonological reduction (or \"decay\") of consonant phonemes during the historical development of the language has resulted in the phonemic glottal stop.[95][96] Ultimate loss (deletion) of intervocalic consonant phonemes has resulted in Hawaiian long vowels and diphthongs.[96][97][98][99]\n\nGrammar\n\nHawaiian is an analytic language with verb–subject–object word order. While there is no use of inflection for verbs, in Hawaiian, like other Austronesian personal pronouns, declension is found in the differentiation between a- and o-class genitive case personal pronouns in order to indicate inalienable possession in a binary possessive class system. Also like many Austronesian languages, Hawaiian pronouns employ separate words for inclusive and exclusive we (clusivity), and distinguish singular, dual, and plural.

Remarkably, in each small trial, scientists have observed incredible results.\n\nIn a 2014 smoking-cessation study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, 15 participants were given three doses of psilocybin under careful medical supervision. All participants were heavy nicotine users, consuming about a pack a day for an average of 31 years. Six months later, 80 percent were cigarette-free, a stark contrast to the typical 35 percent effectiveness rate of most smoking-cessation efforts. In a 2015 alcoholism study, also peer-reviewed and published in Psychopharmacology, many of the 10 participants saw a significant decrease in drinking for at least nine months after one or two psilocybin experiences. In both studies, the psilocybin doses were administered alongside therapy.\n\nScientists believe the drug works by affecting the brain's \"default mode network,\" a group of structures in the frontal and pre-frontal cortex. When someone takes a psychedelic, there is a decrease in blood flow and electrical activity in this network. The default mode network is primarily responsible for our ego or sense of self, \"lighting up\" when we daydream or self-reflect. When we experience a psychedelic trip, this network slows down. With the ego temporarily out of commission, the boundaries between self and world, subject and object, dissolve. These processes may be related to what is called the \"primary mystical experience,\" a phenomenon highly correlated with therapeutic outcomes. As Matthew Johnson, a principal investigator in Johns Hopkins's psilocybin studies, explains, these experiences include a \"transcendence of time and space,\" a sense of unity and sacredness, and a deeply felt positive mood.\n\nRobin Carhart-Harris, a neuroscientist with Imperial College London, notes that the default mode network is responsible for much of our rigid, habitual thinking and obsessions. Psychedelics help relax the part of the brain that leads us to obsess, making us calmer. They can also help \"loosen if not break\" the entrenched physical circuits responsible for addictive behavior.\n\nThere is also an increase in activity between different parts of the brain that do not normally communicate, a phenomenon scientists call \"cross-talk.\" This may explain why we hallucinate while on psychedelics; the brain's visual-processing centers interact in strange ways with the parts that control our beliefs and emotions.\n\nOf course, it is not just those with mental illness who can benefit from feeling less isolated and obsessive, and more fulfilled and creative. Research has shown that healthy people also benefit from the brain shifts induced by psychedelics. Taking the drug even one time can fundamentally reshape our lives, making us happier and kinder, more productive at work, and more open-minded.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the formal leap by scrapping Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in one fell swoop on the night of November 8, a slew of preparatory moves had already paved the way for citizens to adopt and adapt to a cashless economy.\n\nThese moves included a reduction in transaction fees, the installation of electronic payment modes, and the encouragement of e-transactions on cheaper feature phones. To encourage digital and cashless payments, government departments decided to absorb any transaction fees on payments made for state-provided services, including those by Central Public Sector Enterprises. Digital purchases from these services were also incentivized.\n\nSalary distribution in central government departments began to be done through the Public Finance Management System. By installing electronic modes of payment at 70 central government departments, digital transactions soared to 1.4 crore, worth Rs 3,250 crore. The Centre also persuaded electricity distribution companies and state governments to install such payment modes.\n\nA non-tax receipt portal, bharakosh.gov.in, was developed to enable users to make non-tax payments for as many as 237 categories, including spectrum charges, RTI applications, and others. To encourage small merchants to accept digital payments without passing on associated charges to customers, the merchant discount rate on debit cards was waived until December 31 of that year.\n\nNot everyone can afford a smartphone, and most mobile phone users in India use feature phones. To enable mobile banking on these simpler phones, USSD charges were reduced from Rs 1.50 per SMS to Rs 0.50 per SMS. An application for mobile phone payments in four languages was also developed. As for mobile banking on smartphones, the National Payments Corporation of India developed a Unified Payment Interface (UPI) application, which 27 banks had already adopted.\n\nTo slowly eliminate the need to visit a physical bank for everything, mobile banking through interoperable ATMs was launched.

They had been seized from a Cypriot-flagged ship, the Monchegorsk, which was intercepted travelling from Iran in January 2009. Cyprus said the shipment violated UN sanctions against Iran.\n\nThe fire spread to the nearby Vassilikou power station, which provides 50% of the country's electricity, knocking out the electricity supply to many homes and businesses. The fire has also had a knock-on effect on the BBC's broadcasts to the eastern Mediterranean. Six of the eight transmitters in the BBC's relay station at Zygi are without power, interrupting direct English-language broadcasts to the Middle East.\n\nState radio said the dead included two sailors from the Cyprus navy, two soldiers, and five firefighters.\n\nThe blast, which occurred at 0600 (0300 GMT), was \"rather like a sonic boom,\" eyewitness Hermes Solomon told the BBC.

Nicknamed \"the Dale,\" the club was founded in 1907, moved to its current stadium, Spotland Stadium, in 1920, and was accepted into the Football League in 1921. Since then, the club has remained in the third and fourth tiers of English football.\n\nRochdale has only achieved promotion three times – in 1969, 2010, and 2014. The club attracts a small but loyal fanbase, with a hardcore following of around 2,000 home fans on average per match.\n\nHistory\n\nRochdale played 36 consecutive seasons in the Football League's bottom division from 1974 to 2010, the longest time any team has been in the bottom division of the League, with some even derisively calling it \"the Rochdale Division.\" The club has the lowest average position of all the clubs which have existed continuously in the Football League since its expansion to four divisions in 1921–22 (76th) and since its expansion to 92 clubs in 1950–51 (79th). Additionally, the club holds the distinction of having played the most seasons in the English Football League without either reaching the top two tiers (91 seasons as of 2018-19) or being relegated to the National League.\n\nThe club reached the League Cup Final in 1962. This was the first time a club from the bottom league division had reached the final of a major competition – where they lost to Norwich City.\n\nDuring its history, the club has had three promotions and three relegations, with promotion coming in 1969, 2010, and 2014, and relegation in 1959, 1974, and 2012. The 1959 relegation followed the 1958 restructuring which saw the combination of the two Third Division sections into the Third Division and Fourth Division. In the restructuring, Rochdale managed to secure a spot in the Third Division, but was relegated at the end of the season to the now lowest Fourth Division.\n\nRochdale A.F.C. was formed in 1907. After World War I the Football League was expanded and the club unsuccessfully applied to join. In 1921 Rochdale was recommended to be included in the new Third Division North, and played their first League game at home against Accrington Stanley on 27 August 1921, winning 6–3.

The scientists found that the arcuate fasciculus, a collection of nerve fibers connecting auditory regions at the temporal lobe with the motor area located at the frontal lobe in the left hemisphere of the brain, allows the 'sound' of a word to be connected to the regions responsible for its articulation. Differences in the development of these auditory-motor connections may explain differences in people's ability to learn words.\n\nThe researchers involved 27 participants. They used diffusion tensor imaging to image the structure of the brain before a word learning task and functional MRI to detect the regions in the brain that were most active during the task.\n\nThey found a strong relationship between the ability to remember words and the structure of the arcuate fasciculus, which connects two brain areas: Wernicke's area, related to auditory language decoding, and Broca's area, which coordinates the movements associated with speech and language processing.\n\nIn participants able to learn words more successfully, their arcuate fasciculus was more myelinated, meaning the nervous tissue facilitated faster conduction of the electrical signal.

At its most ambitious, history should seek the truest answer to the question: “How did we get here?” But how far back should such a history go for its answers?\n\nYou can’t get any earlier than the so-called “Big Bang.” It seems to have occurred around 13.7 billion years ago, or 1.37 times 10 to the 10th power. That’s farther away than most scholars of human history would want to look. But recent attempts at “Big History” have attempted to lay out a historical timeline that extends all the way to the “Big Bang,” the earliest event in the story that science tells us about the universe.\n\nOf course, no one can be an expert at every one of these levels. But we have to recognize that history operates at different scales. How about we look at 12? What are the 12 biggest events at 12 orders of magnitude from the present?\n\nDavid Christian’s TED talk on Big History spends most of its 17 minutes describing the first few billion years in the “early history” of the universe. His graphics can give you the important sense that you cannot understand the timeline of Big History simply by tracking year by year along a timeline marking events at evenly spaced intervals.\n\nIn fact, Big Historians have developed a tool to produce complex timelines for displaying just these kind of temporal relationships across different scales.\n\n“Logarithmic Timeline” is the fancy word for this special kind of timeline. A logarithm is just another word for an exponent. So, logarithmic timelines work differently than linear timelines because on a logarithmic timeline, every unit of length does not represent a set length of time. Instead, every unit of length represents a change in the exponent of a base. Each move along the line takes us exponentially closer or farther away. For instance, on a base 10 timeline, every unit moved takes us 10 times farther away (or 10 times closer).\n\nSuch logarithmic timelines of history can definitely cram a lot of events into a small space. However, logarithmic timelines are messy at best. Look at Wikipedia’s detailed logarithmic timeline of history, for instance. Or look at the “Logarithmic History” project by anthropologist Doug Jones. An out-and-out attempt to logarithmically represent, for instance, every geologic age may be too much.\n\nWe need anchor points.

The first time I did this, I found myself hopping up and down, waving my hands, and saying to myself, \"this was a bad idea,\" \"this was a bad idea.\" It feels bad for about 45 seconds. It is not excruciating, just weird and bad. After the first 45 seconds, it is all good, and your eyes will begin to feel better shortly thereafter. Goldenseal will often clear up the most recalcitrant of eye inflammations or infections. The discomfort associated with the direct application of Goldenseal to the inner eyelid is why I do not recommend this treatment for little children.\n\nIs it Safe?\n\nDo you or your children swim in swimming pools, or lakes, rivers, or ponds? Do you bathe or shower? Animal or human waste, chlorine, pollution, microbes, algae, sunscreen, soap, body care products, medications—there is a lot of stuff in the water. An eye wash with herbs is at least as safe as swimming or bathing anywhere, in my opinion.\n\nYou can minimize any potential adverse effects by choosing fresh herbs that are clean of dirt and debris and not at all moldy, or by using well-dried herbs. You can and should use organic herbs or herbs wildcrafted from a clean area. Choose herbs that are generally considered safe and gentle. Minimize particulate matter by straining through a coffee filter as described above. Do not put essential oils or tinctures in your eyes; only use water-based preparations.\n\nI recommend chamomile eyewash for conjunctivitis, and I often suggest chamomile tea or tincture to my clients who have seasonal allergies resulting in red, achy, or irritable eyes. It is a great anti-histamine. However, there are a handful of confirmed cases of individuals experiencing irritation and inflammation from German chamomile in cosmetics used near, under, or above the eye, or as an eyewash. Chamomile is one of the most used herbs in the world. Hundreds of millions of doses are consumed every year. It is an overwhelmingly safe herb. With that said, it is possible to be allergic to just about anything. Use your common sense! If you experience increased irritation from an eyewash, stop using it. If you know you are allergic to something, do not use it. If you or your child has ever had a severe allergic reaction to a food or plant, in general you should be more conservative and cautious, lest you have a severe allergic reaction to something else or something similar.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8011/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13585, "chunk_idx": 1, "raw_sha1": "3e72e481444e62e618469b9fe3c57f748a4ac574", "raw_chars": 3362, "clean_chars": 3550, "edit_ratio": 0.9491, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Make a tea using your chosen herbs. You can select as many herbs as you like, as there are no strict rules. Base your selection on what you have on hand or what is easy to acquire. The tea does not need to be particularly strong. If you use fennel, lightly crush the seeds with a mortar and pestle to help them release their virtues into the water—a phrase often used by old-time herbalists to describe how an herb gives up its properties to a particular solvent.\n\nLet the tea cool to room temperature, which is the most comfortable temperature for an eye wash. Strain the tea as you normally would, but then strain it a second time through a regular paper coffee filter. A coffee filter is highly effective at catching particulate matter, which is important because herbs like chamomile and fennel often leave bits of plant material in the brew. While you do not need to be obsessive about removing every speck, it is reasonable to minimize the amount of particulate matter that comes into contact with your delicate eyes.\n\nUse a tincture dropper to apply the tea. I use a dropper that fits a dram bottle, typically dispensing a few drops at a time, pausing briefly, and then adding a few more. Although it may feel strange to intentionally squirt liquid into your eye, it should not hurt or sting. In fact, it will likely feel very soothing in the minutes that follow.\n\nApplying the eye wash two or three times a day is sufficient in my experience. It is possible to overdo it, which can result in eyes feeling slightly dry.\n\nRefrigerate any leftover tea to use the next day. You should notice significant improvement in a goopy eye within the first twenty-four hours of starting the eye wash. Continue the treatment for another day or two if necessary.\n\nWhat If It Is Not Working? Goldenseal to the Rescue\n\nOccasionally, a simple eye wash is not enough. If a day or two of treatment has not resulted in consistent improvement, or if you are experiencing symptoms such as thick green discharge, inflammation, aching, itching, or a filmy sensation in your vision, you might consider visiting a medical clinic. I strongly recommend this approach for children. However, if you are treating yourself, another adult, or a pre-teen or teenager, you may decide to try one more home remedy before seeking professional care. I want to be clear that I do not believe there is anything wrong with medical treatments for eye infections, but sometimes the busyness of life, the expense, or the hassle of a doctor's visit may make it worthwhile to try an alternative first. This is where Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) comes into play.\n\nI do not use Goldenseal very often, but there are times when nothing else works, not just for eye infections but also for thrushy, yeasty diaper rashes, bacterial vaginosis, and other types of infections. It is simply that powerful an antimicrobial.\n\nTo use Goldenseal for a goopy eye, you will need the powder. If you cannot find bulk powder, you can buy a container of powder or capsules. Open a capsule and dump out the contents. Take a clean cotton swab, dip it into the Goldenseal powder, and apply it to the inner surface of your bottom eyelid. Use your other hand to gently pull down the eyelid to expose the inner surface. Do not double-dip the swab. Use the other end of the cotton swab, dip it again, and apply the powder to another spot along the inner surface. I find it sufficient to treat just the bottom eyelid, as the natural liquids in your eye and the act of blinking will help distribute the Goldenseal.", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13591, "chunk_idx": 0, "raw_sha1": "bf85fbe73001d1125daf3247de9d851fe0d62fd4", "raw_chars": 2215, "clean_chars": 1858, "edit_ratio": 0.5502, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "Suicide Squad earned an estimated $65 million at the domestic box office on Friday, averaging $15,306 per theater.

Simpson trial, a misnomer that went on to prove that anything the media manufactures, like Google, gets to live forever.

The Salt Lake City-based organization has sent letters, held video conferences, and asked for volunteers during church meetings. In response, some members have contributed their savings and participated in what may be an unprecedented grassroots mobilization for the effort. Proposition 8 is on track to become the most expensive race in the nation, aside from the billion-dollar presidential election.

That guarantees at least a good, if not great, running play for the opponent. Grizzled Ol’ Coach spoke of how fast Joe Walker would identify the play and hit his gap in a flash before the peel-off blocker could get to him. He has also stated that Kiko Alonso was even faster. Really, a fraction of a second in reaction time makes all the difference here.\n\nThe Washington State University center had made a terrific reach block as the Oregon defensive nose/tackle is unable to penetrate and plug the “A” gap. Note how the Cougar offensive guard is in great position to crush the Duck linebacker, and the Washington State offensive tackle has the defensive end away from the play.\n\nIt all starts with the defensive nose/tackle; if he penetrates, the play is stuffed at the line of scrimmage. If he occupies both blockers (which plugs the “A” gap), then the Oregon linebacker is free to plug the “B” gap and that forces the running back to bounce outside, where the defensive end is waiting (another fundamental goal of the defense, but that is another analysis).\n\nBut that is not where the misery ends, as there were issues with the other defensive tackle spot for the Ducks. Note the right defensive tackle is lined up on the outside or left shoulder of the offensive guard. This is a “3” technique, and his job is to penetrate the “B” gap in front of him between the guard and tackle and occupy the guard so that the right linebacker behind him can protect the “A” gap on that side of the center.\n\nPlease note that outside the defensive tackle of Oregon is the Cougar offensive tackle. Just after the snap, we see the offensive tackle slide to his right and combo block with the guard on the Duck defensive tackle. The man in green should have had his head inside that gap and inside the offensive tackle of Washington State. Now it appears that the tackle is taking control of the block as he is “sealing” the Duck defensive tackle out of the gap. Meanwhile, the offensive guard is preparing to release and block the linebacker (who should be attacking downhill) to open the “A” gap for the Cougar ball carrier.\n\nThe worst of all outcomes is taking place. The offensive tackle was way outside the Duck defensive tackle to start the play and yet he was able to reach block and seal the gap inside by putting his head (and body) in front of where the Oregon defensive tackle wanted to go. But it gets worse, as the offensive guard has peeled off to block the Oregon linebacker, allowing the Washington State running back to run unimpeded into the end zone.\n\nThere are a couple of simple rules for defensive linemen in a one-gap 4-3 defense, and one of them is to never let the blocker you’re attacking “hook you” and get his head and far-side shoulder past you because then you have lost your gap control.\n\nSecond, penetrate like a SOB and require both offensive linemen to continue blocking you, thus allowing the linebacker to run free. If one offensive lineman leaves that combo block on you, then you better penetrate that gap by getting your head inside of the offensive lineman in the gap!", "reject_reason": "", "api_base": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/v1"} +{"doc_idx": 13644, "chunk_idx": 2, "raw_sha1": "8fa6c9c5c0f195d13437083f10a416c2cdb7b0e0", "raw_chars": 585, "clean_chars": 589, "edit_ratio": 0.3441, "needs_rewrite": true, "decision": "keep", "reason": "rewritten", "edit_level": "rewrite", "domain": "", "prose_score": null, "junk_score": null, "removed_spans": [], "text": "The fruitfulness of nuptial love is not about our success or the replication of our own self-identity through the ages.
