Edwards, Robert Quinn (ankle injury), Eric Saubert, cornerback Duke Shelley, receiver Riley Ridley, and Arlington Hambright were not active for the game. Trubisky, receiver Allen Robinson, linebackers Danny Trevathan and Khalil Mack, defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, and punter Pat O'Donnell served as the Bears' team captains; under Nagy, the team has regularly rotated captains for each game rather than permanently appointing players to the positions. The two teams traded punts to begin the game; after the Bears turned the ball over on downs in Lions territory, Matt Prater and Santos exchanged field goals of 27 and 35 yards, respectively. Another punt and field goal swap took place in the second quarter as Prater made a 32-yarder and Santos from 28 yards. After two more punts, Detroit scored the first touchdown of the game with 19 seconds remaining in the first half on D'Andre Swift's one-yard run, which had been set up by Matthew Stafford's 16- and 24-yard completions to T.

And we knew that.\" A day after the game, Ledarius Mack was signed to the practice squad, where he replaced Abdullah Anderson. Week 2: vs. New York Giants. Chicago's home opener came against the 0\u20131 New York Giants, whom the Bears defeated 19\u201314 in 2019; in 60 all-time meetings, the Bears led the series 34\u201324\u20132.

Two drives later, Jones' pass for Evan Engram was intercepted by Deon Bush, though the Bears failed to capitalize and punted. Following another Giants punt, Trubisky led an 80-yard drive that ended with a 15-yard score to Darnell Mooney, who caught the pass over Corey Ballentine. New York kicker Graham Gano missed a 57-yard field goal wide left to end the first half with Chicago leading 17\u20130. The Giants punted on their first drive of the second half, but would score 13 unanswered points on their next three possessions: after Trubisky's pass for Robinson was deflected by James Bradberry and intercepted by Julian Love, Gano made a 39-yard kick; a Bears punt led to a 95-yard possession by New York that ended with Dion Lewis' one-yard touchdown run; a second Trubisky interception, this time when Bradberry pulled the"}, {"text": "ball from Robinson, led to Gano's 37-yarder.

The Giants would reach the Bears' ten-yard line, but Jones' final pass for Golden Tate was broken up by Jackson, while the ensuing penalty was an offensive pass interference on Tate. It was the Bears' first 2\u20130 start since 2013. Although Hicks remarked in his post-game conference that such a record was \"delicious\" regardless of how it is attained, Nagy described his team as \"just OK right now. I think we expect a little better.\" Week 3: at Atlanta Falcons. The 0\u20132 Atlanta Falcons hosted the Bears in Week 3.

McCullers, Trevis Gipson, Hambright, Ridley, and Shelley were inactive. Santos' 46-yard field goal sailed wide left on the opening drive, and the Falcons responded with a 63-yard pass by Matt Ryan to Calvin Ridley to set up Ryan's one-yard touchdown throw to Hayden Hurst, though Younghoe Koo missed the extra point. The two teams traded field goals (Santos from 35, Koo from 29), which was sandwiched between a punt exchange. During the second quarter, Ryan was sacked by Mack and fumbled, with Chicago's Bilal Nichols recovering before lateraling to cornerback Buster Skrine, which rolled out of bounds; however, Edwards and Skrine were penalized for roughing the passer and an illegal forward pass, respectively.

With the Bears having converted just one of seven third-down situations, Trubisky was replaced by Foles for the remainder of the game. After a 36-yard field goal by Koo, Foles' end zone throw to Robinson was simultaneously caught by Darqueze Dennard and ruled an interception. Following two punts and a missed 48-yard kick by Koo to begin the fourth quarter, Foles' potential 17-yard score to Miller hit the ground on fourth down, resulting in a turnover. Foles and the Bears would score 20 unanswered points as he completed touchdown throws to Graham (three yards, but failed the two-point conversion), Robinson (37 yards), and Miller (28 yards).

While Foles completed 16 of 29 passes for 188 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception, Trubisky had just 13 of 22 completions for 128 yards, a touchdown, and a pick. In his post-game conference, Foles described the quarterback switch as \"really sucks\" for Trubisky as he had experienced his own benchings during his career, adding that Trubisky had a \"bright career ahead of him, this is just one day.\" Trubisky conceded that the \"only thing I can control is me playing better when I have those reps in the first half and I didn't do that,\" while his new priority was \"to move forward, accept it and continue to be a great teammate.

Week 4 saw the Bears welcome the 2\u20131 Indianapolis Colts, who led the series 24\u201319 and won the latest meeting 29\u201323 in 2016, though the Bears won the last game in Chicago 41\u201321 in 2012; Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano was the Colts' head coach in both of those games. A day before the game, Tyler Bray was activated from the practice squad; under the new collective bargaining agreement, two practice squad players could be temporarily promoted to the 53-man roster without making a corresponding move. Bray had also occasionally received a protected designation to prevent other teams from signing him off the practice roster.

During the first quarter, Mack dropped a potential interception on an errant Rivers pass after Barkevious Mingo hit him as he threw; the drive, as would three others (two for each team), would end with a punt. Chicago's offense began the second quarter at their own seven, where Foles led an 84-yard drive that culminated in a 27-yard field goal by Santos.

After recording at least 130 rushing yards in each of the first three games, the Bears had just 28 against the fourth-ranked Colts run defense. The defensive performance, which saw a season-low 18 first downs and 289 yards allowed, drew parallels to the 2019 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, where they allowed the fewest first downs and run yardage of the year against a Rivers-led offense but lost. Nagy regarded the loss as \"a tough game to be a part of. Offensively, we know that we've got to be a lot better.

Sunqur was forced to leave Egypt in his lifetime and was never buried there, but a sheikh known as Hasan Sadaqa was later buried in it and therefore the building is often known by his name.

However, he later became involved in a quarrel with one of the most powerful amirs of his time, Amir Qawsun, whose monumental palace, built between 1330 and 1337, was located right next to the site of Sunqur's madrasa. Qawsun forced him to leave Egypt and flee to Tripoli (Lebanon) in 1323 and, as a result, he was never buried in his mausoleum.

The cenotaph over Hasan Sadaqa's tomb, near the chamber's \"mihrab\", cites Sunqur as the founder of the building, but states that the building is the shrine (\"darih\") of Hasan Sadaqa himself.

To add to the confusion, the mausoleum is dated to 1315, well before Sunqur fled Egypt (1323) and before the mausoleum's completion (1321), while other sources give his date of death as 1345, well after Sunqur had left. One possible interpretation is that Hasan Sadaqa was a Sufi sheikh with great wealth who co-sponsored the foundation and construction of Sunqur's building, and thus at some point was granted the privilege of sharing the mausoleum with Sunqur.

A spoken phrase is repeated several times, without altering it in any way, and without providing any context. This repetition causes the phrase to transform perceptually from speech into song. Though mostly notable with languages that are non-tone, like English and German, it is possible to happen with tone languages, like Thai and Mandarin. Discovery and first experiment. The illusion was discovered by Deutsch in 1995 when she was preparing the spoken commentary on her CD \u2018Musical Illusions and Paradoxes'. She had the phrase \u2018sometimes behave so strangely' on a loop, and noticed that after it had been repeated several times it appeared to be sung rather than spoken. Later she included this illusion on her CD \u2018Phantom Words and other Curiosities' and noted that once the phrase had perceptually morphed into song, it continued to be heard as song when played in the context of the full sentence in which it occurred. Deutsch, Henthorn, and Lapidis examined the illusion in detail. They showed that when this phrase was heard only once, listeners perceived it as speech, but after several repetitions, they perceived it as song. This"}, {"text": "perceptual transformation required that the intervening repetitions be exact; it did not occur when they were transposed slightly, or presented with the syllables in jumbled orderings. In addition, when listeners were asked to repeat back the phrase after hearing it once, they repeated it back as speech. Yet when they were asked to repeat back the phrase after hearing it ten times, they repeated it back as song. Neurological substrates of the illusion. Theories of the neurological substrates of speech and song perception have been based on responses to speech and song stimuli, and these differ in their features. For example, the pitch content within spoken syllables generally changes dynamically, while the pitches of musical notes tend to be stable and the notes tend to be of longer duration. For this reason, theories of the brain substrates of speech and song perception have invoked explanations in terms of the acoustic features involved. Yet in the speech-to-song illusion a phrase is repeated exactly, with no change in its features; however, it can be heard either as speech or as song. For this reason, several studies have explored the brain regions that are involved in the illusion. Increased activation has been found"}, {"text": "in the frontal and temporal lobes of both hemispheres when the listener was perceiving a repeated spoken phrase as sung rather than spoken. The activated regions included several that other researchers had found to be activated while listening to song. Speech material conducive to the illusion. Phrases that are marked by syllables with stable pitches and that favor a metrical interpretation tend to be conducive to the illusion. However, the illusion is not enhanced by regular repetitions of the entire phrase. Further, the illusion is stronger for phrases in languages that are more difficult to pronounce and when listeners are unable to understand the language of the utterance. Listeners who experience the illusion. The speech-to-song illusion occurs in listeners both with and without musical training. It occurs in listeners who speak different languages, including the non-tone languages English, Irish, Catalan, German, Italian, Portuguese, French, Croatian, and Hindi, and the tone languages Thai and Mandarin; however, it is weaker in speakers of tone languages than non-tone languages. Related illusions. Margulis and Simchi-Gross have reported related illusions in which different types of sound are transformed into music by repetition. Random sequences of tones were heard as more musical when they were looped,"}, {"text": "and clips consisting of a mix of environmental sounds sounded more musical following repetition. These effects were weaker than that of the original speech-to-song illusion, perhaps because speech and song are particularly intertwined perceptually, and also because the characteristics of the speech producing the original illusion are particularly conducive to a strong effect. Explanations of the illusion. Repetition is a particularly important characteristic of music, and so provides an important cue that a phrase should be considered as music rather than speech. More specifically, in song, the pitches of vowels are distinctly heard, but in speech they appear watered down. It has been suggested that in speech the neural circuitry underlying pitch perception is somewhat inhibited, enabling the listener to focus attention on consonants and vowels, which are important to verbal meaning. Exact repetition of spoken words may cause this circuitry to become disinhibited, so that pitches are heard more saliently, and so as sung. Indeed, the brain structures that are activated when the illusion occurs correspond largely to those that are activated in response to song. In addition, several features of a spoken phrase that are likely to occur in song are conducive to the illusion. These include syllables"}, {"text": "with more stable pitches, and phrases with more regular distributions of accents. Other explanations invoke higher-level musical structure and memory. Listeners are better able to discriminate pitches in repeated rather than unrepeated phrases when the pitches violate the structure Western of tonal music. Long term memory for melodies may also be involved: If the prosodic features of a spoken phrase are similar to those of a well-known melody, the brain circuitries underlying musical pitch patterns and rhythms can be invoked, so that the phrase is heard as song. Relationship to musical composition. Many composers, including Gesualdo, Monteverdi, and Mussorgsky, have argued that expressivity in music can be derived from inflections in speech, and they have included features of speech in their music. Another relationship was invoked by Steve Reich, in his compositions such as \"Come Out\" and \"It's Gonna Rain\". He presented spoken phrases in stereo and looped them, gradually offsetting the sounds from the two sources so as to create musical effects, and these were enhanced as the discrepancy widened. Further, in Reich\u2019s composition \"Different Trains\" brief excerpts of speech were embedded in instrumental music so as to bring out their musical quality.

This revolt was encouraged by Russian emissaries, who had promised to local chieftains that Dersim would be given independence after Russian occupation. The uprising began in early March 1916.

The European Union should take action collectively only when Member States' individual power is insufficient. The principle of subsidiarity applied to the European Union can be summarised as \"Europe where necessary, national where possible\". Subsidiarity is balanced by the primacy of European Union law. The principle of subsidiarity is premised from the fundamental EU principle of conferral, ensuring that the European Union is a union of member states and competences are voluntarily conferred by Member States. The conferral principle also guarantees the principle of proportionality, establishing that the European Union should undertake only the minimum necessary actions. The principle of subsidiarity is one of the core principles of the European law, and is especially important to the European intergovernmentalist school of thought. EU recognition of the principle of subsidiarity. The term \"principle of subsidiarity\" was first used in the Treaty on European Union (1992). However, the European Parliament was still the initiator of the concept of subsidiarity.

It was also incorporated in 1986 in The Single European Act with its environmental policy. However, this was without referring to it explicitly. It was mentioned for the first time in 1992 in the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC) as amended by the Maastricht Treaty. The Article 3b states: \"In areas which do not fall within its exclusive competence, the Community shall take action in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity only if and in so far as the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore by reason of the scale or effects of the proposed action be better achieved by the Community\".

In the consolidated version of the EU treaty is it referred to as \"Protocol (No 2)\". The Treaty of Lisbon places in 2007 the principle of subsidiarity as one of the fundamental principles of the European Union. The article 3b states: \"The limits of Union competences are governed by the principle of conferral. The use of Union competences is governed by the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality\".

The principle of subsidiarity in EU governance. The unprecedented development of subsidiarity in the European Union in the 1990s was caused by the increase of EU policies in the post-Maastricht period. In the 1990s, the European Union was preparing for the future enlargement of Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) as well as for the establishment of the Eurozone, and therefore needed to reinforce its task-allocation model. This model, called EU competences, is subject to the two fundamental principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. EU competences. There are three competences in the European Union governance: The principle of subsidiarity guarantees that in the area of non-exclusive competences, the Union may act only if an action cannot be sufficiently achieved at the Member States level, and could be better achieved at the Union level. Federalist v. Intergovernmentalist schools of thought. Since its inception, the European Community, then becoming the European Union, has faced the remarks and critics of two main school of thoughts: the federalists, defending a centralised decision-making model, and the intergovernmentalists, in favour of a broader share of competences. On one side, the federalist school is in favour of more supranational decisions. For them, most"}, {"text": "of the decisions should be taken at a central level, by the Union, in order to improve the efficiency of decision-making, enjoy scale economies and avoid negative spillovers issued from local decisions. The fiscal federalism theory therefore perceives the principle of subsidiarity as a guarantee that the decisions will be taken at central level when there would demonstrable benefits of conducting the policy by the Union. On the other side, the school of intergovernmentalism defends a decentralized model and more decisions taken by Member States, with a process in which the local knowledge enables to take the most adapted decisions and the citizens can express their disagreement by direct contact with the politicians or leaving the region (Voice or Exit principle). For the intergovernmentalist theory, the principle of subsidiarity guarantees that decisions will be taken as closely as possible to citizens, and therefore at the lowest level possible. The EU principle of subsidiarity is seen by the literature as sufficiently unbounded to satisfy both schools of thought and approach to centralization.

But now the offended elder sons went to Galich and teamed up with their father. The combined forces defeated Vasily and so Yury, according to the testament of Dmitry Donskoy, sent Vasily to reign in Kolomna. However, Kosoy and Shemyaka were not satisfied; they killed boyar Morozov, the initiator of the peace agreement with Vasily, and left Moscow.

The poststratification refers to the process of adjusting the estimates, essentially a weighted average of estimates from all possible combinations of attributes (for example age and sex). Each combination is sometimes called a \"cell\". The multilevel regression is the use of a multilevel model to smooth noisy estimates in the cells with too little data by using overall or nearby averages. One application is estimating preferences in sub-regions (e.g., states, individual constituencies) based on individual-level survey data gathered at other levels of aggregation (e.g., national surveys).

The technique essentially involves using data from, for example, censuses relating to various types of people corresponding to different characteristics (e.g. age, race), in a first step to estimate the relationship between those types and individual preferences (i.e., multi-level regression of the dataset). This relationship is then used in a second step to estimate the sub-regional preference based on the number of people having each type or characteristic in that sub-region (a process known as \"poststratification\"). In this way the need to perform surveys at sub-regional level, which can be expensive and impractical in an area (e.g. a country) with many sub-regions (e.g. counties, ridings, or states), is avoided. It also avoids issues with consistency of survey when comparing different surveys performed in different areas. Additionally, it allows the estimating of preference within a specific locality based on a survey taken across a wider area that includes relatively few people from the locality in question, or where the sample may be highly unrepresentative.

The canal company was concerned that the new road may cause the clay hillside to slip into the waterway. Brunel, in return, was disparaging of the canal's upkeep, was dismissive of Blackwell for suggesting a landslide might be caused by the new road, and said that past slips were \"considerably assisted by the bad management of the canal\".

The term 'cartopology' was first coined by Dear Hunter and the 'Institute of Cartopology' around 2018. However, the actual practice of doing cartopological research is known to be done in the sixteenth century. Early modern cartographers drew all kinds of scenes on the maps that displayed their own cultural or geographical background and political position.

According to the German historian Karl Schl\u00f6gel, \u201cAlexander von Humboldt is a late embodiment of a knowledge that unites much that would soon grow apart: disciplines such as mineralogy, geography, ethnology, linguistics, botany, zoology, and history; genres such as statistics, geodesy, the registration and recording of all he found in a land, the dense description of situation, and the historical study; and forms"}, {"text": "of organization - he was a scientist as well as an entrepreneur and manager of science.\u201d Von Humboldt used his drawing skills and his scientific intellect to create a multi-layered piece of information that could not be retrieved from a merely written scientific paper or factual map of the kind we know today. \"Humboldt's major scientific contribution was realizing the interconnectedness of climate, geography, nature, and human societies. (...) By creating visualizations of data that had previously been bound up in tables, Humboldt revealed connections that had eluded others.\" This new understanding of the world should not be seen as a linear piece of information, but rather as a circular and interconnected story. Most current day cartographers however, aim to represent the world in a mere lineal, physical manner. More intimate information based on experiences of the place are therefore left out of the map. In cartopology, this anthropological and ethnographic information is central to the map making process.

Al-Qurashi's appointment was supposedly done in accordance with the advice of Baghdadi, meaning the new emir was named as a successor by Baghdadi himself. Further evidence that al-Qurashi may have been appointed successor by Baghdadi may be inferred from the relatively quick succession of Baghdadi.

IS supporters defended the secrecy surrounding al-Qurashi as being rooted in security concerns. In 2019, al-Qurashi received pledges of allegiance from the Islamic State's Sinai province and Bangladeshi affiliates (2 November), Somalia Province (3 November), Pakistan Province and Yemen Province (4 November), Hauran Province and Khorasan Province (5 November), Tunisia (6 November), West Africa province, Levant Province \u2013 Homs, Levant Province \u2013 al-Khayr, Levant Province \u2013 Raqqa, East Asia Province and Central Africa Province (7 November), East Asia Province (8 November), West Africa Province \u2013 Mali and Burkina Faso and Levant Province - al-Barakah (9 November), Levant"}, {"text": "Province \u2013 Halab (12 November), Iraq Province \u2013 Baghdad (14 November), Libya Province (15 November), Iraq Province \u2013 Dijlah (16 November), Iraq Province \u2013 Diyala (17 November), Iraq Province \u2013 Salah al-Din (18 November), Iraq Province \u2013 Kirkuk (19 November), East Asia Province \u2013 Indonesia (22 November), Azerbaijani affiliates (29 November), and in 2020 from the Islamic State's Malian affiliates (31 January), a new jihadist group called \"Katibah al-Mahdi fi Bilad al-Arakan\" in Myanmar (November 2020). These pledges of allegiance appeared to be intended to illustrate the legitimacy and unanimous acceptance of al-Qurashi, to counter criticism that he was unknown and illegitimate. At the time of his appointment as IS leader, al-Qurashi was believed to covertly operate in eastern Syria, probably in territory held by the Syrian Democratic Forces. His first aim after taking control was to build up a new command structure for the Islamic State which had lost many of its high-ranking members. On 23 December 2019, \"Voice of America\" commented that al-Qurashi had \"not provided visible leadership\".

On 24 March 2020, the U.S. Department of State designated al-Qurashi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order 13224. The United States also organized an extensive manhunt for him. He eventually relocated to a safehouse in Atme in northwest Syria near its border with Turkey.
