Research Eddie dreams. (Dr. Verbendim)

After we brought the patient asleep, we had to monitor heavily. The patient had an intense dog phobia. Right before he fell asleep we made a dog walk in It was not a friendly experiment but what is one persons fear against worlds safety? He fell asleep terrified, we hoped to attract an Eddie so we could monitor body vials and brain activity. We gave him enough sedation so fall asleep, but he would wake up in ten minutes. After 2 minutes he stiffened and his brain activity spiked. We knew Eddie was there, we could see the most activity came from his amygdala. But then he started speaking. ''N-no, go away NO'' His heart races and he started sweating, almost like his body was actually moving, he kept yelling things ans he screamed as his thalamus light up. We then realized 15 minutes has passed and he didn't wake up. Normally if its a little longer its normal so we waited His brains and body reacted like it was real, as is he could sense it. After 20 minutes we tried to wake him carefully. Then a red line appeared on his neck, out of it seeped black goo that turned into what looked like, Eddie, the man woke up Eddie slashed him in front of us, then Eddie turned around smirked and just, disappeared as he turned into the same black goo that was found in miss Hemptons (who is now in protection) home, and that seeped out of the mans neck. There we conclude that that goo, has to do something with Eddies origin and need to be studied further. To see if we can use it to make a resistance, or a weapon... -Dr Verbendim.

"Poisonous insects, snakes, spiders and scorpions were known but rarely used in homicide."

That's a fun sentence.

Nearly one in three researchers have started using ChatGPT for work purposes, according to a major survey.

I do really think that if you want to write gangs/characters in gangs you should actually do research on how gangs really work, the culture, the lingo, etc, and not just consume media that has fictionalized gang shit in it.

Like people join gangs for reasons, gangs form in the first place for reasons. Gangs have internal structures and complex interactions with other gangs as well as their neighborhoods and the local law enforcement.

They've got their own rules, expectations of behavior, traditions, their own controversies, as well as intergenerational conflicts.

It's not just a whole bunch of folks hanging out acting wild and rowdy and doing crime just to do crime.

研究には15人の男子大学生（平均年齢21.6歳、平均身長172.7cm）が参加した。実験の前日は午後9時までに食事し、当日は午前8時までに朝食を取り、正午に研究室に来て、白飯を300g食べてもらった。その後、教室の椅子に座るか、身長に合わせた机を使って立つかに分けられ、その姿勢で120分過ごした。7日間の後に条件を入れ替えて同様の実験を行なった。 　その結果、食後30分から120分までのエネルギー消費量は、立っている場合のほうが座っている場合よりも統計学的に有意に高かった。1日のエネルギー消費量は立っている場合は平均2154kcal、座っている場合は1918kcalで、立っているほうが約11％高いことが示された。 　この結果に基づくと、1日あたり4時間の座位を立位に換えると、エネルギー消費量は38.4kcal増加し、1年で体脂肪は1.6kg減少することが予想され、研究グループは肥満の予防や軽減につながる可能性があるとしている。

LINK's Social Media Presence

Looking at their Instagram, they use many illustrative elements and posts to convey their messaging. Each post is informative of north korean experiences and showcases their progression in helping defectors. On their recent story post, they can be seen preparing the summit using the same flowery image, which is also noticeable in the background of their office. This use of illustration connotes visual I have observed in other projects that are targeted towards a millenial/gen z audience.

Their Facebook page reuses posts up on their Instagram (as you can now connect accounts to upload on both platforms), but I noticed the stylistic choices are slightly different here. The imagery in the banner as well as some of the content being direct links to articles suggests that of an older audience with less inclination for design considerations, which is typical of Facebook as their user base averages at ages 25-30. Their Twitter account follows the same premise.

In response to this research, I think it is safe to assume that this company aligns with my illustrative practise and so it is something I can make material for.

Across their website they also use illustration.

Paidyは、日本でも有数の巨大ユニコーン企業だった。21年9月、米PayPalが3000億円での買収を発表するが、日本の未上場スタートアップとしては最大規模のビッグディールであることもあって、当時大きな注目を集めた。 　だが、この買収劇に先んじてPaidyに目を付け、16年7月にいち早く投資を実行していたのが、伊藤忠だ。単なる出資ではなくPaidyを軸とした金融事業の強化を計画していた伊藤忠にとって買収劇は“想定外”の出来事だったのだが、段階的に出資を重ね最終的にPaidyの株の20％超を保有していたため、この買収により伊藤忠は約300億円の売却益を手にしている。投資としては“大成功”だ。 　なぜ、いち早く未来のユニコーンに目を付けることができたのか。そこには、伊藤忠が古くから培ってきた、ベンチャー投資のためのリサーチネットワークが存在した。

A New Discovery of AI: Talking to PDF

ChatPDF is the fast and easy way to chat with any PDF, free and without sign-in. Talk to books, research papers, manuals, essays, legal cont

Tired of reading page-long PDFs? Upload long reports, papers, business pitches, and even accounting documents and have conversations based on the information in those PDFs. Here, you can upload a PDF of something you're curious about and simply ask questions to get the information you need from the file. I can easily see what the PDF describes, summarize it, and even tell me how many pages it's on if I want to read more!

To test how analytical it is, I uploaded a company's financial statement and asked for the difference between the current year and the previous year's results. It didn't analyze it, but it did tell me how many pages it covered and recommended that I look for more information. But as it is, it can help me a lot, and I'm excited to see how much better it gets :)
