Elephants are the largest land animals, weighing up to 16,500 pounds. They live in forests, bushes, grasslands, and warm climates like the Sahara desert. Elephants use their trunks to eat, drink up to 53 gallons of water per day, and spray enemies. They are herbivores that use their tusks and six sets of molars to consume trees, grass, bushes, and leaves.
The document discusses investing in company shares. It explains that a share represents partial ownership of a company and its assets. A share's worth comes from the dividends paid from company profits and from capital gains if the share price rises. The value of a share depends on expectations of future dividends and risks around those dividends. While analysts expected a company's profits to be $2 billion, the company announced profits of $1.9 billion, and its share price fell despite recording a high profit and dividend.

Giraffes can grow up to 18 feet tall and weigh over 4,000 pounds. They have unique spots and stripes and live in savannas in Africa. Giraffes eat leaves and plants from acacia and baobab trees using their long necks. They live in herds and mothers are very protective of their young calves. Giraffes can run quickly but do not capture prey, instead eating vegetation.

El documento describe los cambios en el castigo y la delincuencia en Europa durante el siglo XVIII. Inicialmente, la criminalidad era desorganizada, violenta e ilimitada, y los castigos eran injustos. Luego, hubo una reforma hacia un sistema m¨¢s organizado y limitado, con la creaci¨®n de cuerpos policiales, castigos m¨¢s humanos y una justicia m¨¢s igualitaria. Estos cambios llevaron a una reducci¨®n de la criminalidad violenta y un aumento de los delitos organizados.
This document outlines several theories regarding the relationship between the mind and the physical brain/body:
1. Behaviourism views mental states as dispositions to behave in certain ways.
2. Identity Theory claims mental states are identical to specific brain states. Advances in neuroscience support this view.
3. Functionalism defines mental states as functional roles that relate inner states to behaviors, arguing this allows for the possibility of non-biological entities like aliens or AI having minds.
4. Eliminative Materialism takes the radical position that mental states do not exist at all and are merely illusions caused by habits of speech.
This document discusses corporate governance in arms-length public agencies from an international perspective. It begins by defining corporate governance as the processes by which organizations are directed, controlled, and held accountable. This includes issues like leadership, oversight, and transparency. The document then examines international standards and best practices around four key pillars of corporate governance: standards of behavior, organizational structures/processes, control mechanisms, and external reporting. It provides examples of governance codes and discusses considerations like board composition, risk management, and balancing transparency with confidentiality. The goal is to help policymakers evaluate and improve governance in their own arms-length public bodies.
The document provides background information on the British teen drama Skins and focuses on the relationship between two lesbian characters, Emily and Naomi. It describes their on-again, off-again relationship and how they struggle to accept their sexuality. The selected scene takes place at Emily's front door, where a confused Naomi comes to see Emily after an argument. Through their body language and interaction with the door as a barrier, the scene conveys the characters' emotional intimacy and desire to be together despite their difficulties expressing it openly.

"Constructive Interaction During Emotional Burnout: With Local and Internatio...Fwdays
?
One of the biggest challenges in workplace communication is expressing dissatisfaction and providing feedback. Over 50% of misunderstandings arise in these situations, regardless of the project. Add emotional burnout and cultural differences, and the consequences can become serious.
In his speech, Alexey will tell share feedback tools that work effectively for IT professionals. He will explore why many cultures struggle with giving and receiving constructive criticism and how fundamental argumentation principles, combined with simple empathy-based techniques, can help prevent more than half of potential conflicts.
Autonomous agents are sophisticated software entities that exhibit independent decision-making capabilities within Multi-Agent Systems. These agents possess internal state representations, knowledge bases, and reasoning mechanisms that enable them to process information and respond to environmental changes without external intervention. Each agent maintains its own objectives, resources, and decision-making protocols while adhering to system-wide coordination mechanisms. They demonstrate adaptability through learning from interactions and experiences, continuously evolving their behavioral patterns to optimize performance and achieve designated goals.

Emancipatory Information Retrieval (Invited Talk at UCC)Bhaskar Mitra
?
Our world today is facing a confluence of several mutually reinforcing crises each of which intersects with concerns of social justice and emancipation. This talk will be a provocation for the role of computer-mediated information access in our emancipatory struggles. Information retrieval (IR) is a field in computing that concerns with the design of information access systems, such as search engines and recommender systems, and has traditionally been informed by other fields such as information science, human-computer interaction, and machine learning. I?define emancipatory information retrieval as the study and development of information access methods that challenge various forms of human oppression and situates its activities within broader collective emancipatory praxis. The term "emancipatory" here signifies the moral concerns of universal humanization of all peoples and the elimination of oppression to create the conditions under which we can collectively flourish. In this talk,?I will present an early framework of practices, projects, and design provocations for emancipatory IR, and will situate some of my own recent work within this framework. My goal is to propose a new framing that challenges the field of IR research to embrace humanistic values and commit to universal emancipation and social justice.?In this process, I believe we must both imagine post-oppressive worlds, and reimagine the role of IR in that world and in the journey that leads us there.

[QUICK TALK] "Why Some Teams Grow Better Under Pressure", Oleksandr Marchenko...Fwdays
?
What will be discussed?
What distinguishes pressure from chaos in product teams?
Why do these concepts often blur, and how can teams learn to navigate the fine line between them?
What helps teams grow beyond their limits?
Why do mature teams lose sensitivity to growth stimuli, while younger teams struggle to define their approach to growth?
What breaks teams, and what strengthens them?
How can managers develop a strategy for managing team pressure, and how can teams properly perceive and leverage that pressure?
