The reason why I am telling you this is because you are right. If I stay alone here, it will cause me to lose the support of the people here. This is not something that you can ignore.” Said Chu Yu: “You are saying that?” “Yuan Xue is a good person.” “I know…” Chu Yu nodded in agreement. “I am going to leave the academy now.” “Hm?” Chu
The people who are the most at risk of developing the condition are middle-aged men who are overweight. It's not very common in women, but if they do develop symptoms, it's usually more severe. Type 2 diabetes can be brought under control by making changes to your diet, losing weight, and exercising regularly. Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common eye complication of diabetes. If the condition isn't
The most important task was the defense of the southern border against the Mongol invasion. In the course of the invasion the troops of the Order of the Teutonic Knights made a particularly important contribution. The Order received orders to hold a line from the Vistula River to the Baltic Sea, from which it could hold off the attack of the Mongols. This line of defense included the fortified towns of Danzig, Schwetz, Grunau and Marienburg. The knights had to withstand the invasions for four
The GIF is an anamorphic format used in the web and video. The anamorphic factor is the difference between the width and height of the image, usually expressed as a multiple of the width. As the resolution of a JPG is increased, there will be artifacts, known as pixelation. The GIF avoids this problem, using a limited palette of colors which only requires the data on the palette and each individual pixel in the image. The GIF is a good example of
The people of the church have been deceived." It must be obvious to anyone who has been paying even the slightest attention to the religious controversy that this is the state of the question. The religious problem has nothing whatever to do with any form or school of religion. The church is no more an institution of religion than the state is an institution of government. These are, and must be, the subjects of other discussions. The church is an institution which has to
The only problem with that is that a big part of the reason people watch YouTube and Netflix is to avoid the news. The news, and the news media, in general, is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the public, especially younger generations. If you want people to actually engage with a political campaign, you have to make it entertaining. And that doesn’t seem to be what the major news outlets are doing. So the real problem for the major news outlets right now is that they seem to be
The most commonly used type is 440B. As it is a type of standard, its voltage and frequency are the same as those of AC single-phase power: 440V 50Hz. In order to avoid voltage fluctuations and the danger of overloading, a 440B motor is supplied with 3 wires with a 460V voltage between them. What is a 460 VAC Motor? 460VAC
The main difference is that it works at the individual level with the goal of improving self-confidence and self-worth. Self-help literature has proliferated over the last fifty years and most of it is a mixture of useful information and dubious practices such as affirmations, positive thinking, visualization, etc. The most important message of the self-help movement is that we are all unique and that each of us has a unique set of strengths, talents, and motivations. The focus of self-help
The world will be less safe because: We are giving up our right to be secure from being killed by our enemies because we need to be able to protect our enemies. This is not a legitimate war on terror, and the war against terrorists cannot be won as long as we allow terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah to operate freely. Our government is enabling the terrorists to strike at us whenever they want, even though we have all of the means at our disposal to stop
The study’s co-author, Robert Lustig, professor of pediatrics and chief of pediatric endocrinology at UCSF, said it’s unclear why there would be such a difference between the rates of obesity and diabetes in countries with similar food policies. The researchers believe it may have to do with differences in genes, the way people react to certain foods, or other lifestyle factors that play a role in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Lustig noted that 21 of the
The main character of this book is a girl named Eloise who was born with a hole in her heart. Her parents have been caring for her ever since, but now she's in high school and they're trying to figure out where she's going to live. Her parents have made the decision to send her away to another doctor to find a cure. The book is told from the point of view of Eloise. We follow Eloise as she grows up and tries to decide where she wants to
The man of many names had a long-term goal of a career in the arts. A self-taught violist, violinist, and clarinetist, he found his first real audience among the jazz musicians of St. Louis, Missouri. With his friends from the jazz scene in St. Louis, he became part of the first all-Jazz ensemble to tour. His group, the Jazzmen, began with a two-night engagement at the Peabody Hotel in the city in
The whole thing was a piece of foolishness. I had made up my mind to be married to the boy. I had no such notion as that he would have married me. I had not the slightest notion that he had ever intended to marry me. He had no idea that he would ever have married me. The whole thing was a piece of folly. I had no intention of marrying him. I had no such notion as that he would have married me. The
The question is: who is actually making this claim?  If I say, "I saw an X" and someone else says, "No, you didn't, you saw a Y", I've made the claim that I did see an X, and I have made the claim that the other person did not see an X. But what's the relevant comparison class?  I have to know whether or not a given person really did see an X to determine what my claim means.
The question was: “Are you looking for a new job?” I’ve seen it before, and I can tell you, I wasn’t happy about it. Why are recruiters so interested in whether or not you are actively seeking another job? This question shows that the recruiter has already made a judgment about you. Instead of asking whether or not I was seeking a new job, I was asked a deeper question about how I was doing professionally.
The main idea behind the whole process is that as you can see from the image below (click to enlarge), the software works on the assumption that the user wants to see and interact with a picture of the full room, as such the user can't just move the mouse cursor to a particular point on the screen in order to select the image. What the software does is that it uses the mouse pointer to mark the desired point on the image in such a way that the software then processes it, creating a
The fact is that the U.S. is not on the road to becoming a third-world country—not when the U.S. still has an economic and military infrastructure larger than the rest of the world combined, and not when American society is still so rich in human resources, education, and technological innovation. It's just that the rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and there will be less and less room for the middle class. It's not a foregone
The [Illustration] _Liber Primus de Secretis Omni_. [Illustration] The second, and in some respects the best, of the "Books of Magic." Written in the first year of John's reign, A.D. 1127, and entitled "Libri Secretorum-Faciendorum," is in four books. In the first of these, on the title page, the writer is
The best way to get a good price for your home or condominium is to offer the property in a competitive market. You can do this by placing your listing with a reputable real estate agent or broker. The agent is a qualified professional who knows the market value of your property, and the current market conditions. How many realtors can be on a listing? The real estate market is a competitive one. It is important to be able to get a good price for your home or
The answer to that question is that the new data that was presented in this paper really showed that, the effects of what is called the “Sloan Digital Sky Survey” data were not due to just the simple fact that there was a bias associated with the sampling of galaxies; it was due to the fact that galaxies did form a hierarchy from big to small, that’s why the effects were so big at low mass galaxies. It turns out, it is very, very hard to get galaxies
The man then went to the office of the president of the bank. There he found a large crowd of visitors, and after a few minutes he asked to see the banker, Mr. Pembroke, who happened to be out. He then waited on the president of the bank, a tall, fair, elderly man with a pale-blue eye. "Mr. Pembroke," he said, "I am Mr. Smith of the 'Pall Mall
The best way to be sure is to ask for a list of what is in the product, but if you have a choice between something containing corn and something that does not, always choose the latter. Is it safe for people with a corn allergy to eat a corn-free alternative? Corn is not always listed on a product’s label because, like other food allergens, corn can appear in a host of different forms in the same product. One common form of corn is corn starch,
The most amazing thing about the video is not so much the fact that the woman can run up the stairs (she’s not the first to achieve that), but rather that she’s doing so with a prosthetic leg. The video was posted on YouTube by Dave Karger and first went viral last June. The video shows a woman walking up an outdoor staircase. She stops to rest for a moment on one of the steps and then moves forward to the next, before
The United States has a lot of people in it. 100 million people live in poverty, but there are also a lot of people who are very well off and own a lot of property. What we know is that in order to change the structure of the economy, we need to do things that increase income equality, and that requires higher taxes on those who have a lot of wealth and a lot of money. What do you see as the most important challenges facing
The first step, then, is to try to find a way of saying what the world is like in a way that makes sense of our experience. We can do this in two ways. One way is to take as our reference points what we know to be true about the world—for instance, that our arms are real and not just a figment of our imagination; that the world is not just a dream, and that it actually exists. But since these are assumptions of science and logic, what
The “Hidden” in Hidden Markov Models In this chapter, we will explore the concept of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and their applications in time series analysis. We will also implement a simple HMM model using Python and the NumPy library. ### Hidden Markov Models HMMs are a type of statistical model that can be used to represent a sequence of observations. They are called "hidden" because the states that the model is predicting are not directly observable. Instead
The more they’re like their parents, the more they’ll be like their parents.” The more they are like their parents, the less they will like me. I’m trying to give them life-skills. He was really good at school when he was younger but he’s been getting worse. I don’t know why. He must be getting bored of me. I don’t want to give up on him, but I’m
The "Gentleman's" Review of the "American" and "Gentleman's" American The "Gentleman's" Review of the "American" and "Gentleman's" American "The American," one of the few original plays in Mr. George Herriman's entire repertoire, is, like all his plays, unique. It is based on a story that is neither French nor American, neither humorous nor

The whole of this chapter, then, is devoted to a comparison of the two principles which are the basis of all the moral codes and creeds of the world, and in which they agree. 159. The first of these principles is that which we have called the "religion of duty," or the religion of the Law of Right and Wrong. This principle has a name, and that name is "God." In every religion, this is the basis, and in every religion the expression
The other way the government has managed to ensure it has more power than the American people, and this was also part of the original system, is via the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is not a government institution and is in fact a private banking cartel. The Federal Reserve was established by the United States Congress in 1913 and gave control of the banking system to private banks rather than the government. The Federal Reserve Board is a private banking cartel that has been allowed to monopol
The “hobbit” is likely to be one of the most important finds of the year. We’ve got a lot of fossil hominins from various time periods, but we just don’t know how they’re related to each other. It’s not even clear if they all belonged to a single species; some people have claimed to find three different species, and that’s pretty exciting. If this discovery is confirmed, it could mean that we’re dealing with three or four
The same type of error occurs in the “prayer room” at a mosque in North Carolina, which has a glassed-in section for women. It has a sign on the outside which says “women.” The door leading into this section has a sign which says “Women only,” so that only women can get in. It is unclear whether there is some sort of policy or regulation that requires this; if so, it would violate the prohibition of “signs that violate the dignity and modesty
The _Tripod_ was then, as at present, the standard of speed for large steamers, and at that time the largest and fastest vessel of her class was the _Cambria_, Captain John D. Porter, 1,673 tons, built 1854. This vessel sailed from London for New York on June 21, 1854. She steamed to the north, passing off New York, and thence
The problem is that, to date, the government has not enforced the law in question. The government has been reluctant to prosecute those who engage in the practice of falsifying the data on the MPS. “You can’t have a situation where only 20% of the people are paying and 80% are getting something for nothing. The government is saying that, but they’re not doing anything to enforce the law,” Sadiq said. The government has
The man said, 'I'm going to have a fine time this evening.'" So he was. The man was the celebrated actor, Edwin Booth. He had made an engagement to play Hamlet at a theater in Philadelphia, and, as the train pulled into Philadelphia, the passengers in the waiting room could hear him practicing his part on the telephone. He had come to the station an hour in advance of the time he was expected to reach his hotel
The more he grew, the better she loved him; she was glad to see him every day. "I want to be as big as you," said she to her mother. The old woman gave a great sigh, and looked sad. "I know well what you want, my dear," said she. "But what is the use of being big when you have no one to give you the love and the good things that you deserve?"

The U.S. economy will take much longer to recover, probably three to five years. "The U.S. economy can continue to grow. But it's going to be a sluggish, low-growth kind of environment, I think," he said. One of the problems, according to him, is that the U.S. economy was always "under the impression" that it had a very strong economy. And, he said, when the economy starts to show some
The second factor, or component, of our value, is our ability to make a living and support our families. In the United States, where we enjoy a more developed and advanced economy, the importance of making a living is much less important than for the people of, say, China, but it is still very important. Therefore, we will look at a few ways to measure success from the economic standpoint. In the early years of the 21st century, the world of economics changed
The following are a list of the most common types of spinal surgery: - Discectomy – Removing a part of the herniated disc that is impinging on the nerve roots. - Foraminotomy – To widen the foramen (passage between the vertebrae) to relieve nerve compression. - Laminectomy – The removal of the lamina (roof) of a vertebra. - Spinal fusion – A process that fuses vertebrae together. - Decompressive laminectomy – This
The question of the origin of the species has occupied the attention of naturalists since the time of Charles Darwin, and has been discussed with much acrimony and much ingenuity. Many attempts have been made to solve the problem; but none of them have, so far, established any satisfactory theory. If the question is ever solved, it will probably be in a manner quite different from that in which at present it is being treated. We are at present approaching the problem from the wrong side; we are trying
The first two are about the same in terms of magnitude. In fact they are almost identical except for a sign and a normalization. The difference between the two is the last two terms. The first two terms give the correct derivative in the limit of small $u$. The last two terms give the correct answer for any finite $u$. The reason for that is this: The term $\sim u$ in the first term is the $u$ that is used in the integration over $
The same is true for your pet. A vet may see a pet’s health deteriorating quickly. But, the pet owner may not be able to recognise it before it’s too late to save their furry friend’s life. There are also times when a pet owner will not realise that their pet has an ongoing medical condition. This is when an issue will come up later in life. For instance, if your dog has some skin issues as a puppy, it may come back to bite your
The idea of the project is to have a system that is as close as possible to the natural eye – the way the eye operates without any assistance at all. The problem is that our eye has two systems, one that works automatically and one that is controlled by the brain. We want to capture everything the eye does automatically. In the natural eye, light hits the retina and activates cells that fire nerve signals to the brain, which sees what the eye sees. “The retina does everything,
The 17th century was an era of great discoveries. Columbus discovered America in 1492. Sir Walter Raleigh's ship discovered Australia in 1606. The Dutchman, de Vries, discovered Tasmania in 1642, and Abel Janszoon Tasman discovered New Zealand in 1642. In 1730, the Russians discovered Alaska, and in 1768 the British settled in Botany Bay in New South
The fact that the average person does not know and does not understand the principles behind the science and technology of quantum mechanics, for example, can make this kind of research appear almost mystical to non-physicists. It is true, as Einstein said, that there are certain things which even the best scientist cannot explain or predict. In the world of the very large (macro-world) this is obvious. For example, how do we explain the movement of stars, planets, and galaxies? We
The Great Lakes are a treasure of international importance, not only for their economic value and the health of the environment, but also for the cultural and social values they represent to Canadians and Americans alike. The Great Lakes are a source of water supply for more than 40 million people. The fisheries in the lakes support the economies of the region. They are one of the most important sources of biological diversity on the continent. They are also the centre of a $2.5 billion fishery
The first is that the Church was wrong to have separated itself from the rest of Christendom, and to become a society apart. This is not a controversial point. The separation was made by the Church during the reign of Stephen VI. (896-897), and afterwards by the Popes Leo IX., Alexander VI., and others. It is certain that the Church as a whole has been separated from the rest of Christendom, since

The United Kingdom is one of the most popular countries in the world for studying at the university level. There are more than 120 universities in the UK, including some of the world’s best, and they offer a broad range of academic opportunities in a variety of subjects, many of which will have a global reach. Students can study in Britain and also attend some of the top universities in the world. Here are the five top universities in the UK, ranked by the number of international students
The first four books of the New Testament are called the Gospels. They are written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They tell the life and teachings of Jesus. The first gospel was written by Matthew, a tax collector. This is what he told about Jesus: “The son of David” (Matthew 1:1). Jesus was a Jewish man who was born about 2000 years ago. He was born to a virgin mother, named Mary. Jesus came to show us
The most significant effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health has been the rapid rise in the number of people affected by anxiety and depression. The sudden change in life and the many restrictions made us realize that life isn’t easy, that life isn’t just about work and hobbies and going out and getting drunk. That it’s about self-care and resilience. But the pandemic also forced us to understand what true self-care means. During these uncertain times, it has become
The most common cause of a shoulder injury is a tear to the anterior (front) labrum. The labrum is a type of cartilage that helps stabilize the shoulder. Tears usually occur when the arm is forcefully rotated outward while the shoulder is in a position of hyperextension or abduction. This often happens when someone falls while holding an object in front of them. Injuries to the rotator cuff are common in sports that require throwing, such as baseball, golf, and
The study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009-2012, which included a nationally representative sample of U.S. households. Participants were asked about their past year consumption of 150 foods or beverages associated with the development of obesity. Their height and weight were then measured to calculate body mass index (BMI) and determine whether participants were obese, overweight or normal weight. In total, 31,5

He is, however, allowed to stop at any place along the way, and stay there forever. He can, however, only stay at any point for the time in which he actually passes through that point. Can he visit every point in the road and return to
The 48-hour rule is simply not fair to the victims of child sex abuse. First, the court should not be in the business of deciding whether the statute of limitations should be extended or shortened, and it shouldn't be allowed to. Second, even if a child sex abuse defendant can prove he has a valid defense, his time and financial resources will be stretched thin. Third, the victims of sex abuse will not get an opportunity for justice. Fourth
The U.S. government is going to the next level for its war on ISIS." The Pentagon is "going to the next level" on Syria. What does that mean? It means ISIS is going to be attacked. They will be attacked. But how? The Pentagon is going to the next level, which means more bombing. There is one other thing that the Pentagon is going to do. The Pentagon is going to the next level, which means
The first thing I have to say is that our 15th-century forefathers did not have the kind of time we do today, not only in terms of hours of work but in terms of years of education. A 15th-century education was a pretty simple one. You started as a page when you were about 12 years old, you went on to learn the rudiments of how to run a household, how to manage money, and when you were
The following is a rough transcript: "We are all aware of this [the current economic crisis] in these last couple of weeks has really caused all of us some level of concern. We are all aware that it is causing concern in all areas of our life. It is one that we are not going to be able to fix in a few weeks or a few months. "I think that it is one that, frankly, is not unique. It has happened over and over and
The U.S. government will continue to maintain the threat of retaliation against those responsible for the 9/11 attacks, in accordance with the policies established by President Bush and the Congress. The President is concerned that a change in the law would weaken the government's ability to prevent acts of terrorism against U.S. citizens, including by detaining suspected terrorists for periods longer than 120 days without charge or trial. The President believes that the
The man, seeing him was going to leave, put his hand on his mouth. He said, "What is the meaning of this?" the man said, "I can't bear it, I must go, I have to go." So he said, "Go and do what you want to do, but you must not forget that as long as you are my slave you must remain my slave." The man said, "My lord is well, why should I not forget him?" The man was
The main function of the lymph system is to transport excess fluids away from the body tissues. To ensure that fluid drains away from the tissue spaces into the lymph vessels, an active force called the osmotic pressure is generated within the tissue spaces. If there is too much fluid, an excessive amount of it will be transported to the lymph vessels, and this causes the fluid to be too thick to flow easily through the lymph vessels. In this case, the lymph will become swollen.
The United States has long been concerned about its nuclear weapons arsenal, and since 2003 has been developing new nuclear-weapons delivery systems (especially the missile-based B61-11). In 2009 it is reported that the US has enough fissile material to produce approximately 15,000 nuclear weapons. US intelligence agencies have warned that North Korea has developed nuclear warheads for its missiles, although the exact number is disputed, with some
The answer is that it can't, unless you're lucky. If I understand the situation correctly, you are asking for a single point on the curve. However, the curve you have specified, and the random generator you have described, are not suitable for generating random points on the elliptic curve. To understand why, let's consider the curve: $$E: y^2 \equiv x^3 + 4x + 11 \pmod{p}$$. It
The 1960s were characterized by social and political turmoil. The assassination of John F. Kennedy in November 1963 brought further grief to an already troubled nation. Lyndon Johnson became president of the United States in 1963. A staunch supporter of civil rights for blacks, Johnson became a target of the Ku Klux Klan, as the KKK and other white supremacists wanted to see him fail in the war against racism. In the south, African Americans
The new findings are the latest in a growing body of evidence that suggests we need to pay more attention to the way in which we treat our food. The researchers found that eating junk food and drinking alcohol may be harmful to our health, even if we don't eat the bad stuff. "The findings show that even when you eat a healthy diet and eat a few extra portions of food, the risk of developing cancer and other diseases is still very low," says study co-author Dr
The three-story stone building on the northwest corner of 11th and Main was the scene of an accident when the elevator was raised.  In appearance, the building was of a simple design.  There were no balconies, nor was there a cupola; the upper story was a plain four-story.  On the first floor was a vestibule, or entry, 12 by 20 feet; next to the
The same rules apply to children too. Remember, they are just like you – they need encouragement, support, and love to feel good about themselves. So, always ask yourself, "What would I like my child to feel when interacting with me?" Then work towards creating positive experiences and outcomes instead of just avoiding negative ones. Section 3: Communication Tips for Effective Parenting To ensure your communication goes smoothly, try these tips: 1. Active Listening: Pay attention to what your child
The "holy trinity of technology" has now taken its final form. It is the most powerful and intelligent machine ever created. To date, we are the only species on Earth capable of harnessing the immense power of the "holy trinity of technology", so we might be the only species capable of bringing the planet to its knees, or of repairing it and keeping it safe. If we destroy the Earth, it is because we are unable to stop ourselves. If
The first line of the output, \$2015, contains the first three digits of the first five hundred years.  You can verify the first five hundred years are correct by examining a standard calendar. The second line of the output contains the first three digits of the first ten years.  This should contain the years 2015, 2016, and 2017.  You can verify these numbers by looking at a calendar.
The next few years were to find him in the highest circles of society and in some of the most important professional and social positions in the city. In 1892 he married, his wife being Miss Margaret Keegan, who was his cousin and a member of one of New York's most ancient and distinguished families. Her father, Captain William Keegan, had been an old friend of the family, and had been well known to the entire family
The first one is the "tension" that exists between the government's insistence on controlling information, and the media's insistence on reporting. The other is the pressure to "get it right" by publishing information before it becomes public. The public is in an impossible position in terms of knowing whether the information it is reading in the newspaper is true or not. This was not always the case. As an example, when I was working on the National Enquirer, a reporter had
The two men left the inn and walked for a few minutes in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly, the man turned to the young man. "You, young man, are a brave man," he said. "And a man of courage, if I know what courage is. And what I would know." The young man was taken aback. "I? Courage? I have courage? I am nothing like that." "Maybe you do not think so now
The following is a transcript of a typical class presentation at which the students engaged in the following activity: At first, the students were not sure what the terms “real” or “virtual” meant. Some students said that the terms real and virtual meant that something was real and something else was virtual. Some students said that they did not understand what these terms meant and they had no idea what the terms real and virtual meant. We discussed the concept of reality and explained that the term reality refers to
The first and foremost difference between a private school and public school is the funding. The first thing that people notice is the vast differences in the type of facilities that both have.  Public schools can look dull and outdated, while private schools are usually located on a high ground where there is more greenery. The private school that you want to choose should have enough space for your kids to play and interact with other kids. They should also have enough time to play outdoor and indoor games. If you plan
The same was the case with the second and third years. The people, however, were not satisfied. They said that the old men were unable to decide what was good for the people, and that the old men and the young men should decide it together. The young men went to the old men, and said, "O, you old men, the people have said that we are to rule over them. We do not know what is right for the people.
The other members of my family, of course, are not going to the game. I am in the process of selling my car, and a few days ago decided to trade it in on a hefty old machine, which I expect will cost me about $10 a month to keep in running order. If I had stayed on my present job, I should be earning about $50 a week. With $40 a week to live on and $5 a month for
The new government took office as Prime Minister in 1948, he immediately organized the United Front, which included the PSP, the CP, the Labour Party, and the CPI. This was a new kind of political party that existed in India for the first time. It included many different groups that were not related by ideology or by class but were united by their opposition to the caste system, Hindu-Muslim conflict, and the British government.
The same is true with the other 5 senses as well.  I'm a firm believer in the fact that there are no bad dreams.  If there were, my life would be full of them because I have terrible dreams about things like spiders, being naked, and going to the dentist.  As I'm sure you can imagine, I have had a great many nightmares throughout the years and one that really sticks out for me is the night my husband and I went to
The first thing to do is to turn the water off, and when it's turned off, take a look at your faucet. The water shut off valve might be either on the underside of the sink or the side, depending on your plumbing. If you can't find the water shut off valve, go to your basement, crawl space or attic. If you find the valve, take a look at it. If it's leaking, you might not be able to shut off the water, but if it
The Crusaders were not yet aware of the fate that had befallen their comrades, and therefore could not be blamed for the panic which at once overwhelmed them. When the great body of the Saracens made a sudden rush upon them, and swung their swords wildly, the Normans made a disgraceful retreat, which was headed by the Duke himself. The soldiery of King Baldwin, however, rallied to the old knight's ass
The number one reason for the failure of these kinds of projects is that the people who make the decisions about them don’t know enough about the subject to make informed decisions about it. But it doesn’t take long to look at the history of failed attempts to make cities into smart cities. They have failed for one very simple reason: nobody actually knows how to make a city into a smart city. That’s why they fail. The first smart cities were built around the concept of the smart
The one I used in the video is here: And here’s the code: ```import re def read_file(filename): # remove extraneous lines, including comments, which begin with a pound sign (#) # this regex will also remove newlines lines = [line for line in file_lines if not line.startswith("#") and not line.isspace()] # split the lines by newlines raw_lines = "
The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. It affects one person in 100 over the age of 65. The symptoms of dementia include memory loss and problems with communication and language. If you or a loved one has symptoms of dementia, see your doctor as soon as possible. What causes dementia? The symptoms of dementia are caused by damage to the brain. It is unclear why this damage occurs. Some of the most common causes of dementia are: Al
The most common method for measuring flow is the water column. The water column method is useful for measuring flow of low to medium flow applications. The water column method uses a measuring tape to measure the height of the column of water in feet. In order to calculate flow, multiply the height of the column of water in feet by the cross sectional area of the flow (see diagram below). The cross sectional area of a flow is the total surface area that the flow passes through or over.
The following passage is a good example of what an authentic response should look like: The first question was, "If you could change one thing about your home or school environment, what would it be?" I said that I would like to see the lights dimmed when people are leaving the room. We've tried to have the lights off all the time, but after a while, it becomes a problem. The lights are too low, so I can see only a little, and it takes longer
The people of the United States and the world are being denied the opportunity to help the world win the war against terrorism by voting to end their support for the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan. There are good reasons for this. The Taliban are a radical, fundamentalist group that has brutalized and suppressed its own people, and has oppressed all of the non-Sunni population of Afghanistan. The Taliban regime is a ruthless dictatorship, that denies basic freedoms to all, and has provided safe
The same is true for the average and median income, which will likely get the short end of the stick from the data, which has been skewed by the influx of wealthy to the area. The average income is about $100,000, but the median is just $30,000, and while that’s a lot, it’s not really that much of an improvement. In many cases, the real-estate market has been boosted by the influx
The first line shows the number of points, and the second line shows the points themselves. The program will iterate over every pair of points on the grid, checking to see if the Euclidean distance between them is less than or equal to the distance threshold. If it is, the program will consider that pair of points to be part of a triangle and add them to the set of triangles. Next, the program will use a random seed to initialize the random number generator. This ensures that the results are
The same principles are applied to a gas in motion in a pipe. The quantity that passes through the section of a tube in unit time is measured, and this quantity is called a _volume of gas_, or _mole_ or _gram_ of gas. The gas is assumed to be at a constant pressure and temperature during the passage. The gas may be at the standard conditions of temperature and pressure for gases, but this need not be assumed. The gas
The best known of these were the Barmen-Dusseldorf churches, under the leadership of the theologian Karl Barth. They produced the “Barmen Declaration”, which included an understanding of the church that was significantly different from the one promoted by the Nazis. It took courage and firmness to stand up to the Nazi threat. The Barmen Declaration emphasized the authority of the Scripture, which the Nazis considered heretical, and the freedom of the church to practice and teach the Gospel, which
The number 1206 is pronounced digit by digit as (1) one (2) two (0) zero (6) six. ## What are the divisors of 1206? The number 1206 has 6 divisors, they are as follows: The sum of its divisors, excluding the number itself is 736, so it is a defective number and its abundance is -470 ##
The two most important types of radiation for human exposure are photons (e.g. gamma rays) and charged particles (e.g. neutrons). Photon radiation has a much higher energy per photon than charged particle radiation. What is the biological effect of ionizing radiation? Effects of Ionizing Radiation on Living Cells How does ionizing radiation cause cancer? Cancer cells are known to accumulate damage over time. … When a high-energy photon ionizes a molecule (e.
The following are the various types of medical malpractice lawsuits: • Birth Injury/Childbirth Errors • Failure to Diagnose a Condition • Surgical Mistakes • Surgical Failure • Medication Errors • Negligent Hospitalization In order for a malpractice suit to be successful, four basic elements must be proved. The first element is that the defendant had a duty to provide a standard level of care. For example, a physician has a duty to use the same standard of care as the
The same was found in the case of the French _Pasteur_, who, according to M. Borel, "by pure chance," and without any "special knowledge," was able, by simple calculations, to determine the time required by the Earth to revolve on its axis. Another of these "pure chances," which in reality are the outcome of thought, is the fact of the coincidence of the seasons. We will illustrate this by reference to
