zilongwang/ReadingBank huggingface dataset:
final count can still lie within the initial 95% prediction interval. This may be due to a wide prediction interval related to the initial estimate and encompassing the final count. Review quarters The tab labelled ‘Review quarters’ in the dashboard provides an overview of quarters are reviewed for different contract statuses (commencements and completions, and cancellations/withdrawals and and how these are determined. Quarters to be reviewed for all states and territories, for Collection 93 After each collection, the estimates review dashboard will be updated with the latest quarter’s data to enable a review of the most recent quarters possible. For commencements and completions, we require three collections/quarters of data for a final count to emerge for a certain quarter after an initial estimate was reported. For cancellations/withdrawals and in-training, we require seven collections/quarters of data for a final count to emerge for a certain quarter after an initial estimate was reported. The commencements and completions example above shows a set of review quarters (December 2015 to September 2016) and which collections NCVER uses to calculate the initial, first revision and second revision estimates, and the quarter in which the subsequent final count emerge. For example, the first time NCVER receives data relating to the December 2015 quarter is in Collection 86, but NCVER does not report on this data. The first time we report on the December 2015 data is in the next quarter, March 2016, after having received the Collection 87 data. An initial estimate is published for the December 2015 quarter. Note that the December 2015 activity is reported in the March 2016 quarter. The initial estimate then gets revised over the next two collections (Collections 88 and 89), before the final count emerges from Collection 90 and gets reported in the December 2016 quarter. Therefore, we can review the initial and first revision estimates from quarters December 2015 to September 2016, since the final counts for these quarters have been published, with Collection 93 containing the final count for September 2016 quarter. Likewise, for cancellations/withdrawals and in-training, we can review the initial and first revision estimates from quarters December 2014 to September 2015.

E) Skin testing-Various types of skin responses have been investigated and are reasonably correlated with clinical food response in some tests but not in others. It was long thought that the skin response was mediated exclusively through lgE antibodies. If this were the case, a better correlation between lgE antibodies and skin responses should be shown (unless both tests simply have a high level of error). DISADVANTAGES AND ADVANTAGES OF MERIDIAN STRESS ASSESSMENT Disadvantages- Antihistamines, corticosteroids, and other medications may suppress a person's immune reactivity, resulting in false positive readings on the instrument. Skin testing may also be suppressed in the same way. False positive reactions may occur in response to chemicals in the environment in which the testing occurs (such as reactions to perfumes, cleaners, etc.) Occasionally, for unknown reasons, the instrument fails to identify a food, chemical or inhalant to which a person by history repeatedly reacts. The instrument may also occasionally identify an allergen as positive, even though avoidance and re-exposure fails to confirm that finding. Although not perfect, double-blind studies using meridian stress assessment have shown a better correlation with food allergy than any other known test. It is also our clinical impression that meridian stress assessment correlates more closely with the observations of the patient than the more traditional forms of testing. Other advocates of meridian stress assessment share this viewpoint. One doctor from Colorado reported the results of a survey of 109 patients tested with this technique. All had been tested by some other method in the past, and 69 percent thought that the results of meridian stress assessment were more reliable than more conventional testing, with only 5 percent reporting it is less reliable. The rest either thought it was the same or didn't comment. Since there is no reliable standard by which to compare meridian stress assessment, at the present time there is no reliable way to assess its accuracy. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of meridian stress assessment is the poor acceptance of the technique by some physicians. There has been a tendency by some, with a 1910 mentality, to dismiss it
A House Divided: The Civil War Era and Its Aftermath 1850–1890 The Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was a cataclysmic event that divided the nation. Four years of destruction and bloodshed left more than 600,000 soldiers dead and the South in ruins. Slavery was abolished, but African Americans still faced a struggle for freedom and equality. Reactions to the grim casualties of the war and to the rapid urban expansion of the postwar years led many writers and artists to abandon their Romantic ideals. A new literary movement, called realism, emerged. KEY CONCEPTS Slavery Leads to War Civil War Divides the Country The Country Rebuilds History of the Times Slavery was the major cause of the Civil War. After the election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed slavery in the new territories, Southern states began seceding from the Union and joined to form the Confederate States of America. Literature of the The suffering of enslaved African Americans found expression in slave narratives and spirituals. These accounts and songs vividly show the injustice of slavery and the determination to gain freedom. History of the Times Both North and South were motivated by ideology and economics. Northerners fought to end slavery and to preserve the Union. Southerners fought to uphold states' rights and to defend their way of life. Literature of the Times Most literary works to come out of the war were of historical interest: diaries, letters, journals, and public documents. Apart from Whitman, few major writers witnessed the war firsthand. History of the When the war ended, the South faced economic devastation. As Reconstruction began, the nation, which had lost its innocence through the experience of war, began to rebuild itself as a united country. Literature of the Times The devastation of the Civil War caused disillusionment in many writers who turned away from Romanticism to realism. Realism focused on ordinary people instead of idealized heroes.

58. The continued lack of transparency on the part of some Governments concerning the numbers of persons who have been executed is incompatible with human rights. States should refrain from carrying out executions in secret and strive to take all measures necessary to guarantee access to information on the death penalty, including advance notice to family members regarding the date of execution. 59. States that continue to apply the death penalty should comply with international human rights requirements, as stipulated in article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In particular, capital punishment may be imposed only for most serious crimes, that is, intentional killing, and may not be mandatory in such cases. States should also adhere to fair trial guarantees in capital cases. Clemency, pardons and commutations are critical steps towards the abolition of the death penalty. Heads of State and Government and other responsible State authorities should exercise their constitutional and/or legal authority to grant amnesty, pardon or commutation of the sentence of death in all cases. 60. States should consider developing measures to minimize the harm suffered by other persons affected by the death penalty, including family members of convicts, defence lawyers, prison staff and medical staff. In particular, under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, States must take measures to ensure that children’s rights, including the principle of the best interests of the child, are duly considered during sentencing.
(b) Facilitate access to justice to disadvantaged groups, in order to curb impunity for enforced disappearances and prevent their recurrence; (c) Provide disappeared persons with adequate accompanying measures, such as vocational training, so that they can reintegrate in social and cultural life and regain employment once the disappearance is ceased; (d) Provide medical treatment, for mental and physical health, to the victims for any injury or illness they contracted as a result of the enforced disappearances, including post-traumatic stress; (e) Protect social security to support the families after the disappearance of the breadwinner; (f) Take measures to prevent and remedy the social stigmatization and isolation of disappeared persons and their family, by means of information and sensitization campaigns or other relevant measures; (g) Eliminate elements in laws and policies, as well as in implementation, that prevent families of the disappeared to access or maintain their right to adequate housing; (h) Ensure the safety of the families of the disappeared in homes and on their land, regardless of the type of tenure, against forced evictions, threats and harassment; (i) Adopt preventive and protective measures to ensure that human rights defenders working on the promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights are protected from threats, intimidations and reprisals, including their labelling as rebels, insurgents or terrorists; (j) Investigate, prosecute and punish enforced disappearances of human rights defenders working on the promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights. The investigation should include an analysis of the economic, social and cultural rights affected by the enforced disappearances, as well as of the circumstances of the enforced disappearance itself. Similarly, when a disappearance occurs as a reprisal for the exercise of economic, social or cultural rights, this should be properly investigated and punished; (k) Provide prompt, adequate and effective reparation for violations of the economic, social and cultural rights resulting from an enforced disappearance; (l) Clearly distinguish integral reparation from the social and protection measures that should be provided to the families to cope with the dire consequences of the absence of the main breadwinner; (m) Ensure that memorial policies contribute to providing symbolic reparation and public recognition to the victims of enforced disappearance in ways that respond to their needs and contribute to their healing. The Working Group encourages all relevant stakeholders to further study the relationship between enforced disappearances and economic, social and cultural rights.

The Independent Expert recommends that AMISOM continue to implement its casualty tracking system in order to minimize the accidental killing of civilians, and ensure accountability for their deaths. 97. The Independent Experts recommends that the African Union Commission, troop-contributing countries and AMISOM ensure operational efficiency through a centralized command structure. 98. The Independent Expert recommends that society continue its advocacy work with regard to violations of the right to freedom of expression and opinion, violence against women and violations of the rights of children.
81. In ensuring its legitimate security needs, Israel must respect international humanitarian law and international human rights law. 82. The Palestinian authorities should take steps to encourage national political parties to resolve the political disunity that obstructs the equal implementation of the human rights obligations of the Government of the State of Palestine throughout the occupied Palestinian territory.
