"content": "1) The hippocampus is a region in the brain that is responsible for the formation and consolidation of memories, while the prefrontal cortex is involved in the retrieval of memories. 2) The path from the hippocampus to the prefrontal cortex is established through synaptic connections that begin at the hippocampus and extend to the prefrontal cortex via the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the perirhinal cortex (PRC). 3) The mPFC is a critical hub that facilitates the integration of information between the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex, which is necessary for the transition of memories from a declarative to an implicit form. 4) Studies have shown that focal stimulation of the mPFC can improve memory consolidation and retrieval in both animal and human models. 5) These interactions between the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex are also thought to be disrupted in age-related memory decline, and dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex may contribute to pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease.",

His body ached relentlessly, every passing moment was an exquisite torment, and his senses were razor-sharp. His steps were agonizingly slow, his eyes scanning the dimly lit cityscape for any potential prey.\n\nHe had been sustained by blood from human corpses, but the recent string of murders left the city in panic, and the\n\nauthorities closed all possibilities of suspect. Without any fresh blood, Undead Night’s hunger had transformed him into a monster that would stop at nothing to sate his cravings.\n\nAs he lurked in the shadows, he could smell the scents of blood, his nose twitching with anticipation. His fangs were sharp, his eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger that he could not control. The longing for flesh was a constant presence in his mind, and he struggled to keep his humanity under control.\n\nThe sounds of people speaking in hushed tones and the occasional footstep on the concrete made Undead Night's heart race",

It was a cold case that the team had been working on for years, but they had never found any leads.\n\nThe victim was a young woman, found dead in her apartment. The cause of death was listed as suffocation. However, there was no sign of forced entry, and nothing seemed to be out of place. The evidence showed no signs of a struggle, and even the security footage was inconspicuous.\n\nDespite this, something about it didn't sit well with Detective Jameson. He spent hours pouring over the evidence, piecing together the small tidbits that had been overlooked.\n\nOne day, while going through the old case files, he stumbled upon a crucial piece of information. A neighbor had reported seeing a suspicious person lurking around the victim's building a few days leading up to the murder. Jameson decided to investigate this lead.\n\nAfter some jumping through hoops, Jameson finally located the neighbor who had seen the suspicious person. She described the person as a tall male, wearing a black hood",

However, marrying at such a young age could also be seen as immature and impulsive. Ultimately, the decision to marry at eighteen likely reflected both the political and social norms of the time as well as the personal preferences of the individuals involved.",

It served as the burial place for numerous notable figures, such as Philippe de Laza, Louisiana's 1st Governor, as well as Andrew Jackson. \n\nMore recently, the St. Louis Cathedral has also become a popular tourist destination and an iconic landmark frequently featured in movies, television shows, and photographs of New Orleans.

What are some of the challenges that non-native English speakers face when learning to code, particularly in English-speaking work environments according to the survey conducted by Philip J. Guo?: Non-Native English Speakers Learning Computer Programming: Barriers, Desires, and Design Opportunities. Philip J. Guo. ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), 2018.
People from nearly every country are now learning computer programming, yet the majority of programming languages, libraries, documentation, and instructional materials are in English. What barriers do non-native English speakers face when learning from English-based resources? What desires do they have for improving instructional materials? We investigate these questions by deploying a survey to a programming education website and analyzing 840 responses spanning 86 countries and 74 native languages. We found that non-native English speakers faced barriers with reading instructional materials, technical communication, reading and writing code, and simultaneously learning English and programming. They wanted instructional materials to use simplified English without culturally-specific slang, to use more visuals and multimedia, to use more culturally-agnostic code examples, and to embed inline dictionaries. Programming also motivated some to learn English better and helped clarify logical thinking about natural languages. Based on these findings, we recommend learner-centered design improvements to programming-related instructional resources and tools to make them more accessible to people around the world.
English is the international language of programming: the most popular programming languages, technical documentation, code examples, libraries, APIs, textbooks, MOOCs, Q&A sites (e.g., Stack Overflow), and other learning resources are in English. Yet 95% of the world's population does not speak English as their native language. What barriers do non-native English speakers face when learning to code? And what desires do they have for improving instructional materials to meet their needs?
Those numbers gave me the motivation to put up a specialized survey on the site in 2017 to investigate the impact of native language on people's learning experiences. My survey asked non-native English speakers to describe their own difficulties when learning to code along with their desires for improving instructional materials; to get a complementary perspective, it also asked native English speakers to report on any difficulties they've observed their non-native English speaking peers facing.
Although the underlying logic of coding is language-agnostic, non-native English speakers had trouble writing idiomatic code identifier names, comments, and strings for textual program outputs such as status logs and error messages. This is especially challenging in English-speaking work environments since code serves as a form of written communication with one's co-workers.
Use simplified English without cultural slang: Programmers often revel in colloquial language and geek-oriented slang, but that can both confuse and alienate learners who are not familiar with those references. Stick to Simple English and minimize unnecessary jargon or local slang.
Use more visuals and multimedia: A picture is worth how many words?!? Diagrams are even more important for helping complex technical concepts transcend specific languages.
Integrate inline dictionaries: Learners wanted specialized dictionaries for coding terms that are embedded directly within their code editors or instructional materials. They currently need to frequently resort to web searches to grok unfamiliar terms (like “grok”). Aside from interrupting their workflow, they also had trouble phrasing search queries (see the German learner's anecdote above). On a related note, it might also be useful to provide inline contextual help to assist programmers in writing idiomatic identifier names and comments in code.
In sum, the above ideas point toward a form of universal design whereby thinking hard about a specific user population (here, non-native English speakers) can lead to novel user interfaces and instructional materials that benefit everyone. These designs are probably useful for native English speakers as well!

"content": "What are some of the challenges that non-native English speakers face when learning to code, particularly in English-speaking work environments according to the survey conducted by Philip J. Guo?: Non-Native English Speakers Learning Computer Programming: Barriers, Desires, and Design Opportunities. Philip J. Guo. ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), 2018.\nPeople from nearly every country are now learning computer programming, yet the majority of programming languages, libraries, documentation, and instructional materials are in English. What barriers do non-native English speakers face when learning from English-based resources? What desires do they have for improving instructional materials? We investigate these questions by deploying a survey to a programming education website and analyzing 840 responses spanning 86 countries and 74 native languages. We found that non-native English speakers faced barriers with reading instructional materials, technical communication, reading and writing code, and simultaneously learning English and programming. They wanted instructional materials to use simplified English without culturally-specific slang, to use more visuals and multimedia, to use more culturally-agnostic code examples, and to embed inline dictionaries. Programming also motivated some to learn English better and helped clarify logical thinking about natural languages. Based on these findings, we recommend learner-centered design improvements to programming-related instructional resources and tools to make them more accessible to people around the world.\nEnglish is the international language of programming: the most popular programming languages, technical documentation, code examples, libraries, APIs, textbooks, MOOCs, Q&A sites (e.g., Stack Overflow), and other learning resources are in English. Yet 95% of the world's population does not speak English as their native language. What barriers do non-native English speakers face when learning to code? And what desires do they have for improving instructional materials to meet their needs?\nThose numbers gave me the motivation to put up a specialized survey on the site in 2017 to investigate the impact of native language on people's learning experiences.

Given the text: Content, Practices, and Literacies - 5th Grade Declaration of Independence Inquiry Why Do Countries Declare Independence?
A strong inquiry interweaves factual content with the social studies practices and skills students must use in order for meaningful learning to occur. The formative performance tasks in this inquiry are designed to build students’ content knowledge about the Declaration of Independence and other such declarations in the Western Hemisphere. Collectively, the four formative performance tasks call on students to work with a variety of social studies practices as they deepen their understanding of the Declaration of Independence and other such declarations in the Western Hemisphere. All four formative performance tasks call on students to engage in the social studies practice of Gathering, Using, and Interpreting Evidence as they examine the structure and ideas within the Declaration of Independence. The fourth formative performance task also prompts students to use the practice of Comparison and Contextualization as they examine other declarations of independence in the Western Hemisphere and consider the similarities and differences between those declarations and the United States Declaration of Independence.
Teaching with complex primary source documents requires a balancing act between historical authenticity and relevance to students’ lives, especially in elementary classrooms. The Declaration of Independence as the source for these formative performance tasks puts that balancing act in stark relief. The words in the Declaration of Independence are inspirational and iconic. However, the text is intellectually dense and includes words and phrases students might not understand on a first read. Complicating matters, classroom teachers must deal with a wide range of student skills, background knowledge, and reading levels. The words in the Declaration of Independence matter, but if the complexity of those words prevents students from understanding the ideas, little is gained. Thus, while this inquiry includes the full text of the Declaration of Independence in its original form, teachers are encouraged to consider modifying text to meet the needs of their students.
Evident across the formative performance tasks is increasing complexity of thinking. The first task prompts students to describe the philosophical ideas of national sovereignty and natural rights found in part 1 of the Declaration of Independence. The second task asks students to rank the grievances found in part 2. In the third formative performance task, students deepen their understanding again, this time by rewriting the argument made in part 3 of the Declaration of Independence in their own words, while incorporating the basic structure and key ideas from the original text. The fourth formative performance task asks students to apply what they have learned about the United States Declaration of Independence in an examination of other independence declarations in the Western Hemisphere.
The New York State P–12 Common Core Learning Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy offer social studies teachers numerous opportunities to integrate literacy goals and skills into their social studies instruction. The Common Core supports the inquiry process through reading rich informational texts, writing evidence-based arguments, speaking and listening in public venues, and using academic vocabulary to complement the pedagogical directions advocated in the New York State K–12 Social Studies Framework. At the end of this inquiry is an explication of how teachers might integrate literacy skills throughout the content, instruction, and resource decisions they make.
This staging activity requires a bit of playful subterfuge on behalf of the teacher. To introduce students to the notion of independence as a breakup of sorts, the teacher may write out a fake handwritten breakup letter modeled after the three-part structure of the Declaration of Independence (the text of such a letter is supplied as Featured Source A). The letter will likely grab students’ attention and get them thinking about the act of breaking up.
Before students enter the room, the teacher should crumble up the handwritten letter and place it inconspicuously on the floor as if it were accidently left by a student. After the students arrive, the teacher should then pretend to discover the note and then read it aloud as if a student in the class wrote it. After reading the note to the class, the teacher can then reveal the real author of the note—the American colonists—and explain the nature of the Declaration of Independence as the most notorious and influential breakup letter ever written. Teachers may encourage students to view the document through the context of this breakup letter throughout the inquiry.
As an additional staging, the teacher may have students complete a pre-reading guide to the Declaration of Independence. The guide (found in Appendix C) makes use of a think-pair-share structure to activate students’ knowledge through the use of prediction.
Source A: Eric Langhorst, a fabricated breakup letter from the American colonists to King George III, “Teaching the Declaration of Independence as a Break Up Letter - Podcast and Video,” Speaking of History blog, October 30, 2008.

First and foremost, make sure to have the stove inspected by a professional annually. They can check for any damages and make necessary repairs to keep the stove functioning properly.\n\n2. Sweep the stovepipe every few weeks to prevent any blockages that could lead to a chimney fire. You can do this yourself with a brush and a crank or you can hire a professional chimney sweeper.\n\n3. Inspect the firebricks regularly, and if they are cracked, replace them. This helps prevent a fire from spreading to the interior of the stove.\n\n4. Check the gasket around the door of the stove, and replace if it is worn out. This helps prevent cold air from entering the room and hot air from escaping, ensuring maximum efficiency.\n\n5. Keep the stove clean by removing ash regularly, and cleaning the exterior with warm soapy water.\n\nBy following these steps, you can help ensure that your old, wood-burning stove continues to provide warmth for many winters to come.",

This economic relationship played a significant role in the functioning of the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War. \n\nCentral planning allowed the Soviet Union to exert significant control over the economies of the satellite states. The Soviet Union supplied the satellite states with goods and technology in exchange for control over their resources and industries. The satellite states were required to import their goods to the Soviet Union to meet the terms of the trade agreements. \n\nFurthermore, the security component of the Warsaw Pact (the military alliance) was closely tied to the economic component. The Soviet Union maintained its military hegemony by providing the satellite states with military technology, weapons, and other resources. This support was necessary for the satellite states to maintain their security, given the threat of Western aggression during the Cold War. \n\nIn sum, the close economic relationships between the Soviet Union and its satellite states were essential to the functioning of the Warsaw Pact. The control of resources, industries, and trade in the satellite states allowed the Soviet Union to maintain its economic and military dominance in Eastern Europe during the Cold War.",

The Lord replied, "My son if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room." Then, open that other door, and pick out any cross you wish. The man was fill with relief. "Thank you Lord", he sighed and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one", Lord, he whispered. And the Lord replied, My son, that is the cross you just brought us. 16 My lover is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies. 17 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills. 11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, 12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. 1 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. 3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. 4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built with elegance ; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. 5 Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. 9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. 10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice! 11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like that of Lebanon. 12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. 14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. 15 You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.

"content": "1. A young man was struggling and felt like he couldn't overcome his difficulties. He turned to prayer and the Lord told him to place his burdens inside a room and pick out a new, easier burden to carry. The man elected to choose the smallest, easiest burden. He realized that the difficult burden he was carrying all along was a part of him and that he had the strength to overcome it. This scripture teaches us that we should ask for help but also realize that sometimes our struggles are an opportunity for growth and strength-building. 2. The second scripture is a beautiful love poem from the book of Song of Solomon. This poem uses vibrant imagery to describe the beauty and charm of a lover. The poem is meant to be romantic and uplifting, reminding the reader of the beauty of connection and the pleasure that comes from being with someone they love. 3. The third scripture is also a love poem from the Song of Solomon. This one uses similar imagery of beauty but emphasizes the strength and loyalty of a lover. The poem urges the reader to commit and focus on the beloved, no matter what obstacles may come.",

Hipólito Irigoyen (ca. 1850-1933) was an Argentine president. As leader of the Radical party, he united the country behind him in opposition to the landholding oligarchy; but unable to cope with Argentina's economic problems, he was deposed by Conservatives.
Hipólito Irigoyen received little formal education but was taken under the protection of his uncle Leandro Alem, in whose office he read law. For some years he worked at a variety of jobs, including an instructorship in a girls' school and minor government posts.
In his youth Irigoyen also dabbled in politics on a local level. When Alem organized the Union Civica in 1890 as a protest movement against the dominant rural-based oligarchy, Irigoyen joined the new group. He also followed Alem 2 years later in converting the group, which had originally sought alliances with elements of the old regime to participate in elections, into the Union Civica Radical (Radical Civic Union, UCR), pledged to a policy of electoral abstention so long as fraud and violence were used by the government as the principal determinants of elections.
With Alem's suicide in 1896, Irigoyen succeeded his uncle as the principal leader of the UCR, or Radical party. For 15 years he held the party firmly to the policy of not participating in elections and built up a wide rank-and-file base for the party. Penetrating into even remote parts of the country, Irigoyen and his associated established units of the UCR throughout the nation. The party became the principal spokesman for the burgeoning middle classes and for a considerable segment of the working classes as well.
As the Radical party chief, Irigoyen demanded strict obedience and at times even obeisance from his associates. He kept firm control of the party machinery, although he had few intimates, was a mediocre orator, and only rarely appeared in public. Despite his lack of humor and reticence about public exposure, Irigoyen became vastly admired by his followers because of his modest circumstances—he lived largely from the income from a small property and gave much of his income to charity—and because of his uncompromising fight against the political and economic status quo.
Under President Roque Sáenz Peña, who was elected in 1910, the electoral law was finally changed so as to provide for the secret ballot and the assurance of minority representation in all legislative bodies. As a result, the Radicals began to participate in elections. In 1916 Irigoyen was victorious as his party's first candidate for president.
Irigoyen demonstrated the same character traits in the presidency he had shown in the chieftainship of his party. He ruled with a firm hand, made liberal use of the president's right to oust provincial governors, and made virtually all important decisions of his administration. However, he was unsuccessful in carrying through any basic reforms. Although he was sympathetic to organized labor, little social legislation was passed during his presidency. Although he was a strong nationalist, his administration took few measures to protect national industry or to weaken Argentine dependence on British markets for its major exports of grain and meat.
In 1922 Irigoyen was succeeded by another Radical, Marcelo T. De Alvear. However, during De Alvear's administration a split developed between the two Radical leaders, and two separate parties emerged, the UCR Personalista, consisting of supporters of Irigoyen, and the UCR Anti-Personalista, made up of backers of De Alvear.
Irigoyen was elected to the presidency once again in 1928, at the expiration of De Alvear's term. However, by this time he was senile, and the corruption on the part of high officials (but not Irigoyen) which had long characterized the Radical governments reached unequaled heights. Finally, Irigoyen was faced with the Great Depression, which he was not able to handle any more effectively than leaders of most other countries.
These circumstances gave right-wing opponents of Irigoyen the opportunity to carry out a coup against him on Sept. 6, 1930, backed by Anti-Personalista Radicals, Conservatives, and dissident Socialists. With his ouster, Irigoyen retired from politics.

Hipólito Irigoyen (ēpō´lētō ērēgō´yān), 1850?–1933, Argentine political leader, president of the republic (1916–22, 1928–30). In 1896 he became the leader of the Radicals, a bourgeois reform party. By propaganda, and sometimes by insurrection, he opposed the conservative regime. The electoral reform of Roque Sáenz Peña enabled the Radicals in 1916 to replace the landowning oligarchy and to elect Irigoyen president. Ignoring congressional resolutions and public opinion, he maintained neutrality in World War I. Some reform measures were enacted during his administration but his efforts to increase Radical power led to forceful intervention in the provinces and produced much opposition. In 1922 he was succeeded by another Radical, Marcelo T. De Alvear. Irigoyen was swept back into the presidency in 1928 with great popular acclaim, but his second administration, in the midst of economic depression, was so unpopular that he was overthrown and the oligarchy was reinstated (Sept., 1930).

Although he was a strong nationalist, his administration took few measures to protect national industry or to weaken Argentine dependence on British markets for its major exports of grain and meat.\nIn 1922 Irigoyen was succeeded by another Radical, Marcelo T. De Alvear. However, during De Alvear's administration a split developed between the two Radical leaders, and two separate parties emerged, the UCR Personalista, consisting of supporters of Irigoyen, and the UCR Anti-Personalista, made up of backers of De Alvear.\nIrigoyen was elected to the presidency once again in 1928, at the expiration of De Alvear's term. However, by this time he was senile, and the corruption on the part of high officials (but not Irigoyen) which had long characterized the Radical governments reached unequaled heights. Finally, Irigoyen was faced with the Great Depression, which he was not able to handle any more effectively than leaders of most other countries.\nThese circumstances gave right-wing opponents of Irigoyen the opportunity to carry out a coup against him on Sept. 6, 1930, backed by Anti-Personalista Radicals, Conservatives, and dissident Socialists. With his ouster, Irigoyen retired from politics.\n\"Hipólito Irigoyen.\" Encyclopedia of World Biography. . Encyclopedia.com. 19 Apr. 2019 <https://www.encyclopedia.com>.\nHipólito Irigoyen (ēpō´lētō ērēgō´yān), 1850?–1933, Argentine political leader, president of the republic (1916–22, 1928–30). In 1896 he became the leader of the Radicals, a bourgeois reform party. By propaganda, and sometimes by insurrection, he opposed the conservative regime. The electoral reform of Roque Sáenz Peña enabled the Radicals in 1916 to replace the landowning oligarchy and to elect Irigoyen president. Ignoring congressional resolutions and public opinion, he maintained neutrality in World War I. Some reform measures were enacted during his administration but his efforts to increase Radical power led to forceful intervention in the provinces and produced much opposition. In 1922 he was succeeded by another Radical, Marcelo T. De Alvear. Irigoyen was swept back into the presidency in 1928 with great popular acclaim, but his second administration, in the midst of economic depression, was so unpopular that he was overthrown and the oligarchy was reinstated (Sept., 1930).\nSee R. A. Potash, The Army and Politics in Argentina (Vol. I, 1969).\n\"Irigoyen, Hipólito.\" The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.. . Encyclopedia.com. 19 Apr. 2019 <https://www.encyclopedia.com>.

Increased natural disasters have led to significant losses and damage to cultural sites and materials. 2. Economic pressures such as the mining industry have not only disrupted traditional land use but also taken cultural heritage sites without compensation. 3. Pollution from industrial sites has led to the destruction of sacred sites, and chemical contamination of cultural heritage artifacts, resulting in their irreparable damage. 4. Environmental problems have also contributed to the loss of traditional knowledge, causing a risk of extinction of cultures. This loss can be seen in many native languages, rituals, medicinal practices, and hunting methods. 5. Factors such as air pollution and ocean acidification are jeopardizing marine life, which many coastal communities rely on for traditional food sources, threatening the continuation of their traditional practices. Overall, environmental factors have had a significant impact on cultural preservation, highlighting the urgent need for environmental preservation strategies that take into consideration the protection of cultural heritage.",

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: What are OpenText's plans for integrating Hightail into its existing products?
Passage: File-sharing startup Hightail has been acquired by enterprise information management (EIM) company OpenText. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Campbell, California-based Hightail was founded in 2004 as YouSendIt, which served as a platform for sending large file attachments that were too big to be sent by email. It amassed more than 40 million users at its peak, but with the cloud storage landscape evolving to include Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive, YouSendIt rebranded as Hightail in 2013 and refocused its efforts.
Hightail had raised around $92 million in funding, the last tranche coming via a $34 million cash injection back in November 2013. As of today, Hightail claims around 5.5. Million customers globally.
Founded in 1991, OpenText is regarded as one of Canada’s biggest software companies, helping large organizations manage and make sense of all their content and unstructured data. The company acquired Dell EMC’s enterprise content division in a deal worth $1.6 billion last year.
In terms of what OpenText has in store for its new acquisition, it seems Hightail will be kept going as a standalone company, though OpenText said that it plans to integrate Hightail into a number of its products, including OpenText Content Suite, Documentum (formerly a Dell EMC product), and Core.

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: Is the game suitable for players unfamiliar with the Resident Evil series?
Passage: It's 2002, years after the original T-virus incident at Raccoon City. Leon S. Kennedy (who helped clean up Umbrella Corp's mess) is deep in the jungles of South America with cocky new partner Jack Krauser, searching for Javier Hidalgo, a shadowy drug lord with reputed connections to Umbrella Corp. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Kennedy and Krauser quickly find themselves hip-deep in BOWs: bioorganic weaponsand that means zombies. Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles shifts back and forth between Operation Javier and flashbacks to Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, rehashing the storylines (and the zombies' brains) from the POV of Leon and series darling Claire Redfield, with appearances by several other RE regulars.
The game is an on-rails shooter, so you mostly just have to keep your gun pointed in the right directionthe camera moves are locked in. And that camera? It's pretty shaky, which is a new "addition" to the game. It's annoyingthe Capcom designers seem confused as to what the camera represents. It should be Leon's eyes, since you're seeing the world through them. Human eyes and brains process images pretty smoothly, on the whole, even when we're running and fighting zombies. But Capcom seems to have treated the game camera as a literal camera, and the result is a shaky, jerky, motion-sickness inducing mess at times, a la Blair Witch. The technique is admittedly effective at creating an atmosphere of horror, but it's annoying as hell when you're trying to zero in on a boss-BOW's brainbox. Still, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles looks good for a Wii title, and shooting up BOWs is never a bad thing. If you can get past the misguided Blair Witch camera, you can have quite a bit of bloody fun. If you're new to the series, the reuse of past storylines won't bother youif you've followed along from the beginning, you might be annoyed at the lack of new story for your gaming dollar, in which case you might want to give this one a miss. If you like the idea of revisiting the sites of past massacres, however, give Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles a look.

This helps to conserve water and maintain fluid balance. 3) The brain and heart are also affected by dehydration because they require a constant blood supply to function properly. When dehydrated, blood volume decreases, leading to a reduction in blood flow to these organs. Increased thirst and subsequent fluid intake help to restore blood volume and blood flow. 4) Hospitalization is necessary for severe dehydration to ensure proper fluid and electrolyte replacement and monitoring of fluid balance. Additionally, treatment with fluid infusions and medications may be necessary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the dehydration.",

Here is a piece of text: WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States, France and Britain launched military strikes in Syria to punish President Bashar Assad for an apparent chemical attack against civilians and to deter him from doing it again, President Donald Trump announced Friday. Pentagon officials said the attacks targeted the heart of Assad’s programs to develop and produce chemical weapons.
Explosions lit up the skies over Damascus, the Syrian capital, as Trump spoke from the White House.
Syrian television reported that Syria’s air defenses, which are substantial, responded to the attack. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said there were no reports of U.S. Losses in what he described as a heavy but carefully limited assault.
Trump said the U.S. Is prepared to sustain economic, diplomatic and military pressure on Assad until he ends what the president called a criminal pattern of killing his own people with internationally banned chemical weapons.
“The evil and the despicable attack left mothers and fathers, infants and children, thrashing in pain and gasping for air. These are not the actions of a man; they are crimes of a monster instead,” Trump said.
Mattis, however, said the assault was a “one-time shot,” so long as Assad does not repeat his use of chemical weapons.
The strikes were carried out by manned aircraft and from ships that launched cruise missiles from the Mediterranean Sea.
Mattis disclosed that the U.S. Had not yet confirmed that the most recent suspected Syrian chemical weapons attack, on April 7 in the Damascus suburb of Douma, included the use of sarin gas. He said at least one chemical was used — chlorine, which also has legitimate industrial uses and had not previously triggered a U.S. Military response.
Mattis said the targets selected by U.S., British and French officials were meant to minimize civilian casualties.
At a Pentagon news conference alongside Mattis, and with British and French military officers beside them to emphasize allied unity, Gen. Joseph Dunford said the attacks targeted mainly three targets in western Syria.
Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said missiles first struck a scientific research center in the Damascus area that he said was a center of Syrian research, development, production and testing of chemical and biological warfare technology. The second target was a chemical weapons storage facility west of Homs. He said this was believed to be the main site of Syrian sarin and precursor chemical production equipment.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said in London that the West had tried “every possible” diplomatic means to stop Assad from using chemical weapons. “But our efforts have been repeatedly thwarted” by Syria and Russia, she said.
A broader question is whether the allied attacks are part of a revamped, coherent political strategy to end the war on terms that do not leave Assad in power.
Dunford said the U.S. Did not coordinate targets with or notify the Russian government of the strikes, beyond normal airspace “de-confliction” communications.
Jarrod Agen, Vice President Mike Pence’s deputy chief of staff, said Pence called congressional leaders from his hotel suite in Lima, Peru, to notify them of the president’s plan to address the nation about the Syrian air strikes.
Associated Press writer Ken Thomas contributed from Lima, Peru.
Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: What are the potential political implications of the allied attacks in Syria?

Can you provide a brief summary of the key concepts utilized in the interdisciplinary study on the Necker cube simulation, including the principles of quantum mechanics and their role in self-organization and ambiguity?

A simulation of the dynamic perception of the Necker cube in terms of a two level quantum system – e.g. A qubit realized by a Josephson junction or by an electron of spin ½ controlled by magnetic fields – indicates that the neuro-physiological transformation leading, through a symmetry reduction, to perceptual reversal is controlled by the principles of quantum mechanics. A value of the order of 0,32 mJ.s is estimated for the elementary neuro-physiological action simulating the Planck constant at a mesoscopic level. In this interdisciplinary study key concepts are utilized: symmetry, symmetry reduction, self-organization, superposition principle and ambiguity.

"content": "1. The Battle of Marathon was significant in ancient Greek history because it was the first major victory for the Greeks over the Persians. This victory gave the Greeks confidence in their military prowess and established them as a major power in the region. It also paved the way for future victories against the Persians, such as the battle of Salamis and the battle of Plataea. 2. The Greek victory at Marathon also helped to strengthen the unity of the Greek city-states. Prior to the battle, the different city-states had been at odds with each other and focused on their own individual interests. However, the threat of invasion by the powerful Persian Empire forced them to come together and form a unified force. This sense of unity would endure for centuries, helping to shape the course of Greek history. 3. The Battle of Marathon also had cultural and symbolic significance in ancient Greece. The battle was seen as a symbol of the triumph of reason and democracy over brute force and tyranny, and it was celebrated in literature, art, and religious festivals. This legacy continues to this day, with the Marathon race becoming a global symbol of human endurance and achievement.",

She could feel the rippling fabric of time in her fingertips, and there was a primal urge to manipulate it for her own gain.\n\nShe had gained this power when she was still a child after a strange incident of cosmic radiation exposure. Ever since then, Maria had the ability to shape and bend time at her will.\n\nThe power had both advantages and challenges. Maria could pause time and wander around in solitude, basking in the stillness of the world. She could also reverse time, taking back mistakes or correcting past transgressions. However, using her power too often led to a world that was skewed, an aberration of its original order. Her actions often had unintended consequences that couldn't be foreseen, and the consequences of her actions lingered on well beyond the moment of her use of power.\n\nMaria was inexperienced and carefree when she first discovered her ability. She used her powers to win fights, pass exams, and swindle people, but the consequences of her actions caught up to her.",

Monty has fallen out of bed and hit his head and back on Lego pieces (of course) and coughed so much yesterday morning he was nearly sick. And today poor Minnie endured the embarrassment of putting her hand up in class and calling her teacher Mr D 'Daddy!' by mistake.

"content": "Fauvism was a contemporary art movement that emerged around 1905 in France. It was characterized by the use of bold, spontaneous colors, often exaggerated and distorted, as well as an emphasis on the emotional and personal response to the subject. Fauvists were known for their sensual depictions of nudes, pastoral scenes, and abstract forms that expressed a sense of freedom and vitality. Some key figures of Fauvism were Henri Matisse, André Derain, Georges Braque, and Marc Chagall.\n\nThe significance of Fauvism lies in its rejection of traditional academic standards and its emphasis on subjective expression in art. It marked a departure from the realistic and naturalistic methods of Impressionism and Realism, and paved the way for other avant-garde movements such as Expressionism and Cubism. Fauvism also played an important role in the development of modern art, as it challenged the views of the art world and promoted individual creativity.\n\nOverall, Fauvism achieved a level of recognition and artistic influence that continues to shape contemporary art movements to this day.",

In contrast, the pope is the supreme leader of the Western Catholic Church, with a hierarchical structure of leadership where authority flows down from the pope to the bishops. 2. The leadership structure in the Eastern Catholic Churches is typically characterized by a more conciliar approach to decision-making. This means that the bishops gather together and participate in the decision-making process, whereas in the Western Catholic Church, the pope typically makes the final decision. 3. The pope has the authority to appoint bishops in the Western Catholic Church, while bishops in the Eastern Catholic Churches are often chosen by the synod of bishops in their respective regions. 4. Despite these differences, the ultimate leader of both the Eastern and Western Catholic Churches is Jesus Christ, and the Church's mission is to serve and minister to all people.",

In what has been described as a “historic and groundbreaking move”, Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL) officially opened the doors to its new Guyana operations in the capital city, Georgetown, on January 31.
The venue will operate under the brand name, iBET Supreme, and marks the first time the company has ventured outside of its home country, by entering the Guyana market with a mandate to provide the public with more gaming, betting and lottery options.
According to SVL, Guyana was chosen for several reasons, chief among which is its positive economic trend, with all indicators pointing to further growth along the current trajectory.
It also pointed out that Guyana is also an excellent prospect as its GDP growth, in addition to other financial indicators, points to sustained economic growth and a bright future for its people.
“We pride ourselves on identifying growth opportunities, both inside and outside of Jamaica, and it is not by accident, but after careful assessment, it was decided to open our first location here in Guyana,” explained SVL's President and CEO Ann Dawn Young Sang.
She noted that with the establishment of Supreme Ventures Enterprise (SVE), individuals and communities will see an improvement in their social welfare, based on the company's track record of contributing heavily to the betterment of the country.
In Jamaica, the company has contributed more than $16 billion to support health, education, sports development, the arts, and culture, giving back to the communities they serve, since it was formed in 1995 by its founding directors — Paul Hoo, Ian Levy and the late Peter Stewart.
The company launched its Jamaican operations with 28 employees and two out of the three games it was licensed to offer — Lucky 5 and Cash Pot. Since then it has expanded the experience to include 11 lottery games through a network of 1,200 agents, JustBet and QuickSports sports betting products, the Acropolis Gaming Lounge and employs more than 300 people. SVL also includes wholly owned subsidiary Prime Sports (Jamaica) Ltd.
“Our company's investment in Guyana is a testimony to its commitment and faith in the country and its people,” Young Sang stated.
“The iBET Supreme and Supreme Ventures teams are committed, dedicated and humbled to be part of this new journey. The Group is committed to good corporate governance and transparency, and we will ensure this legacy continues as we expand across the region.” The CEO added.
iBET Supreme has introduced simulcast racing from Jamaica's historic Caymanas Park to the Guyanese market, as well as American racing from legendary tracks such as Belmont Park, Saratoga and others.
This will shortly be followed by races from the exciting British racetracks, and the introduction of pool betting which has seen better payout options for punters previously serviced by traditional bookmakers offering only fixed odds.
Supreme Ventures says that it will also be offering sports betting to its customers during this year.
SVL has assured that Guyanese punters will experience the benefits of having a company like Supreme Ventures, through iBet, plant roots in their economy in the coming years and, if the benefits that Jamaica have reaped are anything to go by, Guyana is set to explode with positive repercussions.
In brief remarks at the opening ceremony, Guyana's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge, commended the company's decision to establish a business venture on local shores.
“Guyana is pleased to welcome an enterprise operating in the service arena, and which can bring economic activities that will enhance the standard of living, the quality of life of Guyanese,” he noted.
He said that this included the employment opportunities that will be offered by the company.
The decision to invest in Guyana stemmed from several reasons, according to Chairman of the Board of Supreme Ventures Enterprise, Walter Scott, including the country's positive economic trend for further growth pending current financial indicators — as reported by The Guyana Chronicle earlier this week.
“The Supreme Ventures Group is committed to good corporate governance and transparency. As such, the board understands its role to ensure this continues… the establishment of iBET Supreme in Guyana will see an improvement for individuals and their communities regarding their social welfare due to the company's track record of contributing to the betterment of the country,” Scott said.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GO-Invest, Owen Verwey, noted that the new business venture bodes well for the economic outlook of the country.
“iBET Supreme is a very significant investment in the Guyana economy… It is great to know from a Guyana perspective that our sisters and brothers in the Caribbean… have studied the outlook in Guyana from a detailed feasibility study on the service sector and I will say the outlook for Guyana is good,” he noted.
Supreme Ventures, which is investing is initially utilising a three-storey building in the heart of Georgetown to operate a superstore with a lounge housing its horse racing business and administrative office.
After a complete roll-out of phase one, Supreme Ventures will embark on a retail expansion across the country. Specifically, the company will set up two more super outlets and 17 standard outlets in 2019.
“We will start in Georgetown with the superstore which we will follow with smaller scale gaming lounge operations. Our intent is to launch these smaller operations in and around Georgetown and its environs in 2019, followed by a more extended foray into the rural areas across the country going into 2020,” Young Sang stated.
SVL has spent some G$100 million in setting up the operation, and has its eyes on becoming market leaders in the Caricom country, which it says is an excellent prospect based on their economic indicators, such as GDP growth and the imminent start of oil production in the country which will drive significant economic activity.
What are the plans for expansion in Guyana, and what are the potential economic factors that could contribute to the success of this venture?

Specifically, the company will set up two more super outlets and 17 standard outlets in 2019.\n“We will start in Georgetown with the superstore which we will follow with smaller scale gaming lounge operations. Our intent is to launch these smaller operations in and around Georgetown and its environs in 2019, followed by a more extended foray into the rural areas across the country going into 2020,” Young Sang stated.\nSVL has spent some G$100 million in setting up the operation, and has its eyes on becoming market leaders in the Caricom country, which it says is an excellent prospect based on their economic indicators, such as GDP growth and the imminent start of oil production in the country which will drive significant economic activity.\nWhat are the plans for expansion in Guyana, and what are the potential economic factors that could contribute to the success of this venture?",

Can you list the accolades and awards received by Nima Arkani-Hamed throughout his career in physics? Answer according to: NIMA ARKANI-HAMED (2013-2019) is one of today’s most influential leaders in high-energy theoretical physics phenomenology, revolutionizing the field of particle theory over the last decade. His research focuses on the relationship between theory and experiment. He is a Professor of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. His new groundbreaking theories relate to new extra space-time dimensions, super-symmetric extensions of the standard model, the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation, the cosmological expansion of the Universe, and the nature of dark matter in the Universe and recently, an entirely new idea about the origin of quantum mechanics.
In July, 2012, Professor Arkani-Hamed was one of the inaugural winners of the $3 million Fundamental Physics Prize, the creation of physicist and internet entrepreneur, Yuri Milner. Before that, he won a Gribov Prize from the European Physical Society and the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize (in Israel), and was a Sloan and Packard Fellow (in the United States) and received a Phi Beta Kappa teaching excellence award while at a professor at Harvard from 2002-2008. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009. He was a Messenger Lecturer at Cornell in 2010.
He received his PhD in Physics from University of California at Berkeley in 1997.
