This one will likely make an appearance in this season's "worst losses of the season" retrospectives.For the second straight day, a pesky Marlins team made a successful late charge at the White Sox bullpen, which seems to have returned to its ways of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory after an excellent start to the month.

During the Trump presidency, one of the strongest currents in our culture was the struggle for social justice, from #MeToo to Black Lives Matter to the recognition of proliferating gender identities.Now, one of the strongest currents is the backlash to all of that.Resentment of strident progressive politics unites the hapless CNN chief Chris Licht, who complained, in an Atlantic profile, that the network had been producing too much anti-Trump outrage porn, and the louche British rock star (and reputed Taylor Swift ex-boyfriend) Matty Healy, who complained, in a New Yorker profile, that artists are now expected to be liberal academics.

This week, the Review is publishing a series of short reflections on love songs, broadly defined.There was a woman who was always explaining to me the structures of the world, of desire, of experience.Her analysis was brilliant.I have never met somebody so sure of the way things work.Between us, they didn't.

"I suspect that, no matter what the Court does, the need for excellent lawyering on the enablement question in future cases is not going away.A clear statement of the test is not going to provide certainty as to the outcome in particular cases."On Monday, March 27, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Amgen v. Sanofi, a case with the parties and 27 Amici, including the United States, weighing in on whether and how the Court should address the enablement requirement of Section 112 in the context of genus claims, and in particular, genus claims to antibodies in the pharmaceutical sciences.

Like a lot of seventh round picks, background on Andre Jones Jr. - the EDGE rusher out of Louisiana that Washington took in this year's draft - is scattered and not necessarily as comprehensively available as it is for players picked earlier in the draft.Here, I've tried to compile information and accounts from some of the best sources that I could find.

The story of Kim Philby, the high-ranking British intelligence official who turned out to be one of the biggest double agents in U.K. history (and a hero of the Soviet Union, if you take the Russian point of view), is well known at this point.Dozens of books, fiction and nonfiction, have been written about how Philby took in the great and the good of MI6 and the CIA for decades before he finally had to flee across the Iron Curtain in 1963.

The success of ChatGPT and its competitors is based on what's termed emergent behaviors.These systems, called large language models (LLMs), weren't trained to output natural-sounding language (or effective malware); they were simply tasked with tracking the statistics of word usage.But, given a large enough training set of language samples and a sufficiently complex neural network, their training resulted in an internal representation that "understood" English usage and a large compendium of facts.

The screams of hundreds of schoolchildren ring through the atrium of the National Building Museum."Ahhhhh!"they cry, waving their hands in the air at the adult emcee who's babbling like an auctioneer before them.She's getting them hyped to see Phillipe Petit-the famed wirewalker who, in 1974, illegally traversed the sky between the Twin Towers in Manhattan.

Democratic lawmakers have released a second draft of the 20-district map for Chicago's impending elected school board, after the first map was criticized for failing to maintain neighborhood cohesion and over-representing white voters.For decades, Chicago's Board of Education has consisted of seven members all appointed by the mayor, unlike most school systems whose boards are chosen by voters.

The campaign to leave the EU promised many things, but hard agricultural labour was not among them.Seasonal fruit picking is physically demanding, poorly paid work that was, before Brexit, done mostly by migrants exercising their freedom to live in any EU member state.Ending that freedom is one of the few Brexit pledges that has been delivered.

The Boston Bruins went all-in at this past trade deadline as general manager Don Sweeney managed to put together a team that won a league-record 65 games and posted a league-record 135 points.That same team was then unceremoniously dumped out of the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs by the lowest-seeded team in the Eastern Conference, the Florida Panthers.

"It's my job to get players to own the moment, seize the moment.And that didn't happen, and that falls on me," Montgomery said."I think with the hard times we went through, we have to learn from them.If we don't learn from the how are gonna grow?We'll just repeat the same thing next year.

General manager Don Sweeney essentially admitted Tuesday what everyone already knew: The Bruins were all in for the 2022-23 season.Unfortunately for Boston, they failed.Now, it's on Sweeney to deal with the repercussions that come with such an aggressive team-building approach.Speaking at a year-end press conference Tuesday, Sweeney acknowledged not only is his offseason beginning far earlier than he hoped, but business might be trickier than usual this summer.

Cloud repatriation is the practice of taking workloads and applications off the public cloud and relocating them locally.This might be to an on-premise solution or to a provider that can host and deliver elements like data security and guaranteed uptime.Cloud repatriation might seem like a counter-intuitive strategy when the purported benefits of digital transformation largely center around migrating to the cloud.

Bitcoin privacy firm zkSNACKs has reinstated coin control in the latest iteration of its Wasabi wallet.Coin control allows users to manually select the most private address and output configuration when sending bitcoin ( BTC).Last year's Wasabi 2.0 upgrade had introduced a more automated version of coin control called "privacy control" - much to the chagrin of Wasabi's power users.

A small icy world far beyond Neptune possesses a ring like the ones around Saturn.Perplexingly, the ring is at a distance where simple gravitational calculations suggest there should be none.That's very strange, said Bruno Morgado, a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.Dr. Morgado is the lead author of a paper published in the journal Nature on Wednesday that describes the ring that encircles Quaoar, a planetary body about 700 miles in diameter that orbits the sun at a distance of about four billion miles.

As a young woman in East Germany, Brigitte Reimann claimed that she would rather live 30 wild years than 70 well-behaved ones.When she died from cancer in 1973, aged only 39, she left behind an impressive but tantalisingly incomplete set of literary achievements.Her life as her riveting diaries and autobiographical novels attest was as fascinating as she hoped it would be.

After multiple threats made against an Oakville High School in recent months brought on by a controversy over a teacher's appearance, Halton District School Board (HDSB) trustees discussed a draft professionalism policy at a meeting Wednesday night but some questioned the merits of a policy that contained no new information, and seemingly lacked defined enforcement objectives.

The US Supreme Court on Thursday asked parties involved in a major voting rights case out of North Carolina to file additional briefs to address new developments that occurred in the state after the justices heard oral arguments in the dispute last year.The request comes as some believe the blockbuster case might eventually be rendered moot depending on what happens in state courts.

I had big plans for my video interview with lifestyle influencer and tidiness guru Marie Kondo.The view of my home office would be immaculate; the stacks of old reporter's notebooks would move to the great beyond (the trash), the gag-gift bobblehead of Andrew Cuomo would go to its forever home (the trash), and the clean laundry hanging off my husband's office chair would migrate to its rightful place (a pile on the bed).

As a second-generation British Pakistani growing up in Bradford, I was surrounded by Urdu and smatterings of Punjabi.English came later, and I can remember not being able to understand my teacher on the first day of nursery.This was all part of my parents' plan: to speak in Urdu to my siblings and I because they knew we would learn English at school.
