Parents are usually the first to recognize that their child has a problem with emotions or behavior. Still, the decision to seek professional help can be difficult and painful for a parent. The first step is to gently try to talk to the child. An honest open talk about feelings can often help. Parents may choose to consult with the child's physicians, teachers, members of the clergy, or other adults who know the child well. These steps may resolve the problems for the child and family. |
Following are a few signs which may indicate that a child and adolescent psychiatric evaluation will be useful. |
- Marked fall in school performance |
- Poor grades in school despite trying very hard |
- Severe worry or anxiety, as shown by regular refusal to go to school, go to sleep or take part in activities that are normal for the child's age |
- Frequent physical complaints |
- Hyperactivity; fidgeting; constant movement beyond regular playing with or without difficulty paying attention |
- Persistent nightmares |
- Persistent disobedience or aggression (longer than 6 months) and provocative opposition to authority figures |
- Frequent, unexplainable temper tantrums |
- Threatens to harm or kill oneself |
- Marked decline in school performance |
- Inability to cope with problems and daily activities |
- Marked changes in sleeping and/or eating habits |
- Extreme difficulties in concentrating that get in the way at school or at home |
- Sexual acting out |
- Depression shown by sustained, prolonged negative mood and attitude, often accompanied by poor appetite, difficulty sleeping or thoughts of death |
- Severe mood swings |
- Strong worries or anxieties that get in the way of daily life, such as at school or socializing |
- Repeated use of alcohol and/or drugs |
- Intense fear of becoming obese with no relationship to actual body weight, excessive dieting, throwing up or using laxatives to loose weight |
- Persistent nightmares |
- Threats of self-harm or harm to others |
- Self-injury or self destructive behavior |
- Frequent outbursts of anger, aggression |
- Repeated threats to run away |

Session 40 - The Interstellar Medium. |
Display session, Tuesday, June 09 |
Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) explosions can make kpc-size shells and holes in the interstellar media (ISM) of spiral galaxies if much of the energy heats the local gas to above 10^7 K. Disk blowout is probably the major cause for energy loss in this case, but the momentum acquired during the pressurized expansion phase can be large enough that the bubble still snowplows to a kpc diameter. This differs from the standard model for the origin of such shells by multiple supernovae, which may have problems with radiative cooling, evaporative losses, and disk blow-out. Evidence for giant shells with energies of \sim10^53 ergs are summarized. Some contain no obvious central star clusters and may be GRB remnants, although sufficiently old clusters would be hard to detect. The expected frequency of GRBs in normal galaxies can account for the number of such shells. |

Question: How is bipolar disorder different from unipolar depression or 'regular' depression? |
Answer: Both bipolar disorder and major depression are typically associated with depressive episodes. So both illnesses are accompanied by depressions. The difference is that in bipolar disorder people also have periods of elevation -- or severe irritability. We call these manic or hypomanic episodes. |
Making the Case for Action |
This fact sheet(pdf) and slide deck provide essential state-specific information that addresses the economic imperative, the equity imperative, and the expectations imperative of the college- and career-ready agenda. These resources can be used on their own or serve as the foundation for a personalized presentation or fact sheet(word), which can be customized with state-specific details and examples. The PowerPoint, in particular, was developed with various users in mind and offers a wide range of case-making data that can be drawn from to support your own advocacy efforts. |
Advancing the Agenda |
As states continue their efforts to promote college and career readiness, Achieve regularly surveys the states to identify their progress in adopting critical college- and career-ready policies. Below is a summary of Idaho's progress to date: |
See Closing the Expectations Gap for more information |
State accountability systems focus the efforts of teachers, students, parents, administrators and policymakers to ensure that students and schools meet the established goals, including the goal of ensuring all students graduate ready for college and careers. Idaho has yet to begin to use any of the key college- and career-ready indicators in their accountability system. |
|Annual School-level Public Reporting||Statewide Performance Goals||School-level Incentives||Accountability Formula| |
|Earning a college- and career-ready diploma| |
|Scoring college-ready on a high school assessment| |
|Earning college credit while in high school| |
|Requiring remedial courses in college| |

A land whose rich cultural heritage is discovered not only from within the walls of numerous museums, galleries and churches, many of which today, as zero category monuments are included in a part of the UNESCO World Heritage List, but also in that magical place on the Mediterranean, where even the shortest stroll becomes a journey down a staircase thousands of years old, which takes one through a history that is at the same time turbulent, exciting and glorious. |
With as many as seven cultural phenomena- The Festivity of Saint Blaise, lace-making in Lepoglava, Hvar and Pag, the bell ringers from the Kastav region, the Hvar Procession Za Križem, (‘following the Cross’), two-part singing in the Istrian scale, in Istria and Hrvatsko Primorje, the spring procession of ‘Ljelje’ and traditional manufacture of wooden toys in the Hrvatsko zagorje region, Croatia is among the countries with the most protected intangible cultural heritage elements, recorded on the UNESCO List. |

From time immemorial, the tie has been a part of the Croatian national costume, which was preserved by the Croats to the more recent times, who moved to central Europe in the 16th century. It was later taken over by the Croatian soldiers who were fighting in Europe, and a part of their uniform was assumed by the French in the 17th century. Under the leadership of the French „God of Sun" Louis XIV there was a horsemen unit, the so-called Royal cravate, who wore mostly red collar ribbons. The custom of wearing ribbons from the Croats dates back to this time, which was later expanded around Europe and the world, and today is inevitably the most important detail in men's fashion, and also an original Croatian souvenir. The word «kravata» (tie) originates from the word «Kroate»... |

Red-white coat of arms |
Recognizable all over the world, and related only to Croats - characteristic cube-shaped red-white coat of arms which is believed to originate from the Persian original homeland of Croats (red signifies south and white signifies north). That is where the name for two Croatias derives from, i.e. White in north and Red in south. When the Croats have selected Ferdinand Habsburg to be their King in Cetine in 1527, they confirmed that choice with some seals, and one of them was Croatian coat of arms, but with 64 fields, i.e. the complete chess-board. That is where the popular term „šahovnica" derives from, and Šah (chess) in Persian means the Ruler - Tsar. |
Did you know that there is a world rarity in the Archeological museum in Zagreb? Of course, we are talking about the Zagreb mummy. Nesi-hensu, the wife of Aher-hensu, „the divine tailor" from Thebes, is the name of a mummified woman who was wrapped in cut ribbons of Zagreb linen book which represents the longest preserved text in Etruscan language and the only preserved sample of linen book in the entire Ancient world. |
Top seven world getaways |
The American magazine "In Style" has included Croatia on its list of seven top world destinations ("Top seven world getaways"). The article authors recommend a visit to Croatia for its very rich historical-cultural heritage, natural beauties and clean sea. In addition to Croatia, the list of top seven places includes Kenya, South Africa, London, Greek island Santorini and three American destinations - Aspen, Napa Valley and Nantucket. |

Dataset Card for FineWebEDU Sample Text
Dataset Details
Dataset Description
FineWebEDU Sample Text is a small derivative dataset intended for coursework and local experimentation. It contains the first 1 GiB of UTF-8 plain text extracted from the beginning of the HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu dataset and distributed here as a single gzip-compressed text file.
- Curated by: Zico Kolter (sample packaging); upstream dataset curated by Hugging Face
- Funded by [optional]: Not applicable
- Shared by [optional]: Zico Kolter
- Language(s) (NLP): English
- License: Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-By) v1.0; use is also subject to Common Crawl Terms of Use
Dataset Sources
- Repository: https://huggingface.co/datasets/zkolter/FineWebEDU-Sample-Text
- Upstream dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu
- Paper [optional]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.17557
Uses
Direct Use
This sample is suitable for small-scale tokenizer experiments, compression and I/O benchmarks, course assignments, and toy language-model preprocessing pipelines where a single local text file is more convenient than streaming parquet data.
Out-of-Scope Use
This repo is not a faithful substitute for the full FineWeb-Edu release. It should not be used where exact document boundaries, per-record metadata, representative sampling, or complete upstream coverage matter.
Dataset Structure
- File:
finewebedu_first_1gb.txt.gz - Compression: gzip
- Uncompressed format: UTF-8 plain text
- Uncompressed size: exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes
- Compressed size in this repo: 406,983,843 bytes
- Approximate number of source documents included: 221,084
- Source config/split/shard:
CC-MAIN-2013-20/train/data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/train-00000-of-00014.parquet - Splits: none
This is a raw text corpus dump, not JSONL, CSV, or a line-delimited dataset. Source documents were concatenated in order with a trailing newline after each document, but documents can themselves contain internal newlines. As a result, line boundaries do not reliably correspond to document boundaries.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This sample was created to make a subset of FineWeb-Edu easy to use in local coursework without downloading multi-gigabyte parquet shards or setting up parquet-specific tooling.
Source Data
Data Collection and Processing
The source text came from the public HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu dataset. The sample was built by reading the text column from the first shard of the CC-MAIN-2013-20 training split and concatenating documents in source order until the output reached exactly 1 GiB.
To satisfy the fixed-size target, the final document was truncated on a UTF-8 character boundary. This means the sample preserves document order from the start of the shard, but the last document is incomplete.
Who are the source data producers?
The underlying text originates from public web pages included in Common Crawl and filtered by the FineWeb-Edu curation pipeline. The ultimate source-data producers are the original web authors and publishers.
Personal and Sensitive Information
This repo does not add annotations or perform additional privacy filtering beyond the upstream dataset. Because the content is derived from public web pages, it may still contain personal data, copyrighted material references, or other sensitive content present in the original pages.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
This sample inherits the biases and risks of Common Crawl and FineWeb-Edu, including uneven topical coverage, language and domain imbalance, and the presence of harmful or low-quality web content despite upstream filtering.
This repo also introduces additional limitations:
- it is a prefix sample from a single shard rather than a representative sample of the full dataset;
- it discards all upstream metadata except the extracted text;
- it stores data in a raw concatenated text format rather than record-oriented examples; and
- the final source document is truncated.
Recommendations
Use this repo for lightweight experimentation only. For serious model training, evaluation, or dataset analysis, prefer the upstream FineWeb-Edu release and retain per-document metadata and provenance.
