A dissident group of employees sought to unionize the company, and a disciplined cell of feminists demanded veto power over Grove's editorial policy.
The women had other goals, including 24-hour free child care, for all profits from books written by black authors to be "returned" to the black "community" and for all profits from erotic books to be used to establish a defense fund for prostitutes.
With so many charter school teachers moving on each year, concerns arise about retaining quality educators and how stability affects student performance.
Kavita Papneja, a math teacher, joined an Alliance College-Ready charter several years ago and doesn't regret it.
As far as the charter workload, "if I have to spend extra hours, I will," said Papneja, 43, who believes she's the oldest teacher in her school.
Fruit flies are strange creatures.
Manager Bobby Valentine went to his bullpen with an eight-run lead against the Yankees on national television, only to witness an implosion of epic proportions.
Boston has won six in a row -- all six victories coming in the aftermath of that blown 9-1 lead against the Yankees last Saturday.
Fortunately for life on Earth, our atmosphere blocks out harmful, high energy radiation like X-rays, gamma rays and most of the ultraviolet rays.
Most of the infrared light coming to us from the Universe is absorbed by water vapor and carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere.
Only in a few narrow wavelength ranges, can infrared light make it through (at least partially) to a ground based infrared telescope.
The Earth's atmosphere causes another problem for infrared astronomers.
Abstract:According to many researchers, implicit learning in the serial reaction-time task is predominantly motor based and therefore should be independent of stimulus modality.
Previous research on the task, however, has focused almost completely on the visual domain.
The results indicate that sequential learning occurs in the tactile task, though to a lesser degree than in its visual counterpart.
A stripper just won a lawsuit against Nebraska police who confiscated over $1,000,000 in $10,000 bundles tied with hair ties after a routine traffic stop.
Tara Mishra, 33, had stripped for 15 years and managed to save $1,074,000.

Within a decade of its founding in 1698 as a mining settlement, Ouro Prêto became the centre of the greatest gold and silver rush in the Americas to that date.
In 1823, after Brazil’s independence was won Brazil had won its independence from Portugal, Ouro Prêto was named capital of Minas Gerais province.
In 1897, however, because of transportation difficulties the capital was transferred to Belo Horizonte (40 miles [65 km] northwest), worsening the economic decline that had already begun in Ouro Prêto.
The opening of an Alcan aluminum factory at nearby Saramenha in 1979 helped to revive the city’s economy.
The Federal University of Ouro Prêto (1969) is located there.
Last year, after Keebler, Nabisco, and Frito-Lay marketed cookies that were crisp on the outside and soft at the center, lawyers for Procter & Gamble marched into court to accuse them of infringing P&G's patents.
The competitors deny the charge; the suit is pending, and no trial date has been set.
The science of preparing, preserving, and reshaping packaged food is a bigger business today than ever: food-related companies and the government allotted some $1 billion to research and % development last year.
Food technology owes a lot of its current importance to the growing health craze and the increasing numbers of two-career and single-adult households, which demand high-quality food that can be prepared simply and quickly.
Primarily associated with the modernist movement, stream of consciousness is a form of interior monologue which claims as its goal the representation of a lead consciousness in a narrative (typically fiction).

Florida already received 90% of first-place votes in the recent coaches' poll.
The Gators are the defending BCS national champions and their quarterback, Tim Tebow, and their entire starting defense is coming back.
Rarely has a defending champion enjoyed such riches.
Here are the 10 teams that received the highest percentages of first-place votes in the preseason AP football poll since 1968—and how they finished the season.
The contribution of fibrin(ogen) to these processes largely depends not only on the characteristics of the fibrin(ogen) itself, but also on interactions between specific-binding sites on fibrin(ogen), pro-enzymes, clotting factors, enzyme inhibitors, and cell receptors.
The outcome of wound healing depends largely on the fibrin structure, such as the thickness of the fibers, the number of branch points, the porosity, and the permeability.
The binding of fibrin(ogen) to hemostasis proteins and platelets as well as to several different cells such as endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, leukocytes, and keratinocytes is indispensable during the process of wound repair.
High-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight fibrinogen, two naturally occurring variants of fibrin, are important determinants of angiogenesis and differ in their cell growth stimulation, clotting rate, and fibrin polymerization characteristics.
Canadian country music artist Terri Clark performs Oct. 19 at the Wonder Ballroom.
Most country music fans know Terri Clark as the sassy, cowboy hat-wearin' starlet with hits such as 'Girls Lie Too,' 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me' and 'You're Easy on the Eyes.'
On her current tour, which stops in Portland at the Wonder Ballroom Oct. 19, fans will see a softer side of the Canadian-born Clark.
Design Grounded theory: data were collected using semistructured, open-ended interviews and participant observations with registered nurses (RNs) in two inpatient maternity settings.
Findings Safety was broadly conceptualised by RNs as protecting the physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing of a woman and her family.
Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez will explain to his contingent of foreign players what playing against bitter rivals Leeds United means to the club ahead of their League Cup quarter-final on Wednesday.
That match and fractious games since have ensured plenty of spite between both sets of supporters.
Leeds, now mid-table in the Championship, are chasing their third Premier League scalp of the competition having knocked out Everton and Southampton.
Given the holders are already out of the Champions League and have slipped behind in the Premier League title race, the League Cup has taken on more importance as Benitez tries to convince Chelsea he should be kept on past May.
I've been using mine in conjunction with a Stouffer 31-step wedge for determining the characteristic curves of expansions/contractions for my chosen film/dev combinations.
If you get a chance to see how Ilfords plate coating line works you'd understand why it's expensive and I'd guess the Belgian facility's not far different.
All emulsions are test coated and checked before final coating on the main coating line.
A short glass plate run is relatively labour intensive needing two people one loading the plates the other almost catching at the end of the line.
Commercial plates are now used because of their high dimensionable stability, their major use is in nuclear research facilities.
Way back when I was shooting 35mm, I noticed that the frames sometimes had a narrower space between them than other frames, making it more difficult to cut the strips.
I finally discovered that the narrow spaces occurred when adjacent frames were made using wide angle lens, and longer lenses left wider spaces.
When a wide angle lens was used, being closer to the film, it projected a wider image onto the film (wider than the mask).
Let's start with the engine: it's got less displacement than two bottles of San Pellegrino water, sounds like a spinning hard drive, and burns both premium gasoline and motor oil at a rate that would make a Prius blush.
Here we used a functional model of Drosophila photoreceptor to fully characterize their underlying computational capabilities.
The model was derived based on photoreceptor responses measured in vivo using naturalistic input stimuli, which the system experiences in its natural environment.
In order to characterize the nonlinear transformations performed by photoreceptors we analytically computed the higher-order or generalized frequency response functions (GFRFs) of the identified nonlinear photoreceptor model.

News: A team of engineering students from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands claim to have created the world's first entirely solar-powered car, the Economic Times reports.
Known as the 'Stella', the four-seat car has a trunk and produces electricity as it is being driven.
The university claims that the model usually creates more electricity than the car uses, meaning that extra electricity can then be transferred to the national power grid.
The group is now seeking to have the car officially certified for road use to prove if it is practical for normal car users.
Fort Worth, TX - You might think the customer service department of a major professional cleaning equipment manufacturer would only receive questions about the company''s machines.
The optimum temperature for stripping/refinishing floors is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Kaspersky claims to be the world's largest privately held antimalware company, with both residential and business products.

Little wonder the National Strength and Conditioning Association recognized Wolfe as its 2011 athlete of the year when he was a senior at the University of Cincinnati.
Wolfe's work ethic stems from his teenage years toiling on a farm in Negley, Ohio, a tiny hamlet only a mile from the Pennsylvania border.
We had 70 acres to maintain.
Damage was reported over 300 miles away in Brooklyn, New York.
The White House, the Capitol and other buildings in Washington, DC, had to be evacuated.

It was his magnificent strike in the 1983 European Cup Final that proved decisive in Hamburg's victory over Juventus.
The young Felix is full of life, grinning from ear to ear like the proverbial Cheshire cat.
Who knows what ambitions he had at that age, but it's fair to say that the last thing on his mind would be to look ahead to the distant future and a critical club board meeting in the industrial town of Gelsenkirchen with his job on the line after having presided over a humiliating 5-0 defeat to a newly promoted side.
Magath's career as a coach has not been a complete success.
NYON, Switzerland - UEFA fined Olympique Lyon players Cris and Juninho 15,000 euros ($19,790) and 10,000 euros ($13,190) respectively on Thursday for getting deliberately booked during a Champions League match last month.
UEFA's disciplinary panel decided that the pair had committed deliberate fouls during the November 25 Group F match against Fiorentina in order to serve a one-match suspension during their team's meaningless final group stage match against Bayern Munich.
Aside from the fine, the tactic appears to have paid off for the two Brazilians who can now compete in the tournament's first knockout round with their disciplinary record wiped clean.
Cris and Juninho had each picked up two yellow cards in early Champions League matches going into the Fiorentina match and would have been ruled out of the first knockout round game if their third booking had come during the Bayern match.

HQ-EN-Sentences

Inspired by agentlans/high-quality-english-sentences, HQ-EN-Sentences is a corpus of self-contained and coherent sentences filtered from five distinct sources using FastText and rule-based heuristics.

Source Data & Mixture

Source Dataset	Weight
DCLM-Filtered-HQ	55.6%
MGA-FineWeb-Edu	16.7%

The Pipeline

Layer 1: NLTK Sentence Tokenization & Splitting

Layer 1 segments raw text into candidate sentences while protecting abbreviation boundaries from fragmentation.

Layer 2: Rule-based Cleaning & Filtering

Layer 2 normalizes, cleans, and filters sentences based on rule-based heuristics.

Cleaning

Eliminates HTML, web artifacts, URLs, and mojibake.

Filtering

Filters sentences that depend on outside context or are cut off.

Anaphora and pronoun leaks: Drops sentences starting with he, she, they, his, her, their, or its.
Demonstratives: Rejects sentences opening with this, these, those, another, or such.
Transitions and conjunctions: Drops sentences starting with and, but, so, however, meanwhile, therefore, or because.
Speech tags and dialogue: Strips out interview quotes, standalone quotation marks, and phrases ending in "she said" or "police said".
Verb check: Drops incomplete sentence fragments and titles by requiring at least one real verb.

Layer 3: LFM Labeling

While we know that LFM-2.5-1.2B has some serious problems because of its lack of capacity, it was still useful for generating bulk silver labels to train our downstream FastText classifier.

Purpose: Used as a fast, local LLM to label a large bootstrap set of candidate sentences as either high-quality standalone sentences or low-quality fragments/chaff.
Failure modes: At 1.2B parameters, the model struggles with subtle external references, often giving high scores to domain-specific jargon even when the sentence is missing an antecedent.
Role in pipeline: Instead of running LFM inference live over the entire multi-million sentence stream (which would bottleneck throughput), we used it strictly offline to generate training data for the FastText model in Layer 4.

Layer 4: FastText Filtering

Our final quality gate, FastText, was retrained multiple times until it passed all tests (e.g., manual inspection, test set).

Offline training: Trained on our LFM labels plus hard negative examples of sentence fragments and conversational noise until test accuracy hit 92.5%.
Pure CPU throughput: Runs in C++ on CPU across 8 processes, scoring thousands of sentences a second without needing a GPU.
Streaming filter: Runs after the regex layers. If FastText marks a sentence positive, it gets kept; otherwise it gets dropped.
Parquet output: Sentences that pass are batched into 100k chunks, saved as Parquet with zstd compression, and pushed to the Hugging Face repo.
