This aftermarket performance has made technology the best performing IPO sector of 2016, a laudable result that is all-the-more-impressive given that the class of 2016 was headlined by niche players like Nutanix and Coupa Software rather than unicorns such as Uber or Airbnb.

While I appreciate the laudable intentions with which the backstop was designed, by removing control of such large areas of the commercial and economic life of Northern Ireland to an external body over which the people of Northern Ireland have no democratic control, this balance risks being undermined.

Though Rowbottom's memoir is an earnest and laudable attempt to return us and her to wholeness, most will need to go further to bridge that most masculinist invention — the psyche/soma split — to regain the space that, generation after generation, has been made into a battleground: the female mindbody.

As for my Nittany Lions, they finished a laudable 10-2, with an invitation to the Cotton Bowl to play Memphis, champion of the unsung American Conference — a game in which the best they can do in the eyes of the critics, I suppose, is not embarrass themselves.

But it elevates those laudable aspects of old-timey film cameras with judicious use of modern technology, including an electronic viewfinder, the same 24-megapixel APS-C sensor as inside the higher-end Fujifilm X-Pro2 and X-T503, and a reliable autofocus system that's also very amenable to manual adjustment.

|
There are a lot of serious issues in the United States, and the inclination to try to stay serious and talk about guns, trade, Medicaid, or drug overdoses rather than reports of the president's alleged past affairs with porn actresses and Playboy playmates is understandable and, on some level, laudable.

|
Though there have been some laudable pieces of legislation and policies enacted on the national level — such as acts to protect families and children and a national strategy for the prevention of gender-based violence — it is hard to measure the benefit for women as enforcement and implementation tends to be lax.

|
And the government has not articulated much of an agenda for reform: shortly after taking office, for instance, the NLD could not come up with any more detail about its plans for the economy than a 12-point manifesto that contained such laudable but vague goals as cutting red tape and encouraging competition.
|
|
To its credit, the film showcases gorgeous and captivating cinematography, thanks to Vittorio Storaro; the overall vibe of the piece is palpably nostalgic; and Kate Winslet shines, delivering a laudable performance as a housewife who has become bogged down by the mundanity of life — but that's where praise for the movie ends.
|
|
Compassion and humanitarian considerations for people fleeing violence and poverty are laudable features of public policy, but they should also apply to EU people on soup kitchens, the jobless, the working poor on subsistence wages and to more than 2 million of euro area young people without jobs, incomes and a viable future.

|
A fair-haired New York developer, Trump had a laudable attention to detail, a focus on building the best -- and most competitive -- casinos, and perhaps most notably, no sign of ties to the organized crime families that caused endless headaches for state officials, according to Carl Zeitz, a commissioner at the time.
|

Apple's approach to AI 'is a laudable' "I think that there's real-world proof about being able to go do distributed machine learning without every node in the cluster having access to all the data," McClellan added, noting that it is quite possible to do consensus-based artificial intelligence with more anonymous data.

|
|
This search for meaningful work is laudable, but it comes with some difficult realities: When people blaze a new trail, the first few miles are rarely paved with money or direction, which means less income, a higher likelihood of living with your parents, and unclear guidelines about how to build a career.

" • Novogratz is said to consider himself "halfway between center-left and progressive," and "During my lunch with him at the Mercer Kitchen, he told me, 'I've always said I'd run for office if I had a five-year period in my life where really I felt, like, Hey, my behavior is laudable.

In 2019, nearly 85033 bills aimed at protecting reproductive rights were introduced across 49 states and Washington, D.C. Almost 150 of those bills were enacted in 38 states and D.C. That's laudable, but if the Supreme Court overturns or limits Roe and its constitutional protections, it will still curtail Americans' abortion rights.
|
|
Her push for paid parental leave is certainly laudable and especially out of the box for the Republican Party, but the policy she urged her father to propose wasn't really about parents — it offered maternity leave only, emphasizing that the task of raising children remains the domain of women (even "women who work").
|
|
This increased emphasis on strong board oversight is laudable, it does raise this most important question: Where will the larger financial companies find a sufficient number of outside directors who will have the time and talent to meet the expanded responsibilities implied by the enforcement order the Federal Reserve issued against WFC?
|
|
Soupault's sharp but sweet anecdotal memories of fellow experimental artists and antagonists include laudable short portraits of Guillaume Apollinaire, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, sad surrealist René Crevel, novelist Georges Bernanos, painter Henri Rousseau, poet Charles Baudelaire (whom he sketches as a precursor avant-gardist) and lesser-known poets Pierre Reverdy and Blaise Cendrars.

That is laudable in itself, but dwarfed by the more than $5 billion in potential major arms sales to Saudi Arabia notified to Congress in 2016, as well as $85033 billion to Kuwait and $22 billion to Qatar – all countries that are part of the Saudi-led coalition that has flown warplanes over Yemen.

In part, a lack of alternatives has made his job simpler, but for a manager who used a back three only once in his entire club career – the final game of the 2005-06 season, when Fulham beat Middlesbrough 1-0 – it was a bold and laudable move to adopt that system with Wales.

|
As the Democrats' historically diverse field, one that encompassed a huge range of identities, narrows dramatically to two candidates who are—though far apart ideologically—both white, septuagenarian men, it is worth thinking about how we decide which political passions are laudable and which are laughable, and whose ideas are welcomed to center stage.
|
|
The dispute over the truancy policy, which was later expanded statewide with Harris's support, illustrates a broader issue for her: Policies that may have seemed acceptable or even laudable a decade ago face more questions today as criminal justice reform has taken off, especially among Democrats, particularly in the wake of Black Lives Matter.
|
|
Certainly, Soloway's efforts to include trans people widely throughout her production team—in season three, the series employed 50 trans or gender-nonconforming people at all levels of production, up from 25 in season one—is more than laudable: It's a necessary step forward in advancing trans voices at every step in the creative process.

"I have faith in my Iraqi colleagues, who are aware of their responsibility not only to safeguard, but also to publish, the archaeological and epigraphic heritage of their country, and who have shown in recent years a laudable willingness to collaborate with scholars from other countries in an effort to do so in the best possible way," Frahm said.

"Even after 9/11, in the absence of a draft, for a growing number of Americans, service in the military, no matter how laudable, has become something for other people to do," then-defense secretary Robert Gates said in a well-known speech about the widening gap between the military and civilians at Duke University in 93.

But while transparency is generally a laudable goal, the rule may be used to throw out older studies for which data is no longer available and newer studies with data that can't be shared because of patient privacy issues, said Dr. Renee Salas, the lead author on an opinion piece published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
|
|
Moreover, allies rallied to Germany's side, including the United Kingdom and France, and together acted as a concerned, engaged collective that put the world first rather than their own nations -- a laudable team effort that stands starkly counter to the selfish motives of the Trump administration and the disintegration that characterizes the EU at the moment.
|
|
Like so much in our overpriced medical system, today's EpiPen debacle evolved from a laudable idea: Though shots of epinephrine have been used for over a century, the EpiPen — invented in the mid-1970s and approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1987 — allowed a patient or a parent to easily administer the proper dose in an emergency.

He may be a blue-chip professional writer (and one with a subtle sense of language and a very good idea of where his reader is), but there's no question that his new book is the work of an amateur in the strictest, most laudable sense: the one who acts, in this case writes, out of love.

Mr. Morell explained this slap-on-the-wrist approach was warranted by the laudable motives Mr. Rodriguez had for ordering the destruction of the tapes: namely, to protect against leaks that might set off a backlash similar to the violence that occurred after the release of the photos of torture from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"While the ACLU of Rhode Island recognizes the bill's laudable goal, we are deeply concerned about its breadth, its impact on civil liberties, and the precedent it sets for the use of coercive measures against individuals not because they are alleged to have committed any crime, but because somebody believes they might, someday, commit one," the group said.
|
|
The committee Republican news release listed these key legislative objectives: These are laudable objectives, but as is the case with any complex, far-reaching legislation, the resolution of often conflicting objectives will have to be negotiated and incorporated in legislative language that reflects the often conflicting wishes of many constituencies without impeding Senate passage of the bill.
|
|
The fact that Guard makes an explicit goal of diversifying its dataset is laudable, because too often AI systems are trained on a subset of the population (usually white men) that leads to the well-documented problem of AI bias (for example, facial recognition technology's high error rate when it comes to identifying women and people of color).
|
|
Such critics fear that the laudable aim of vastly reducing deaths from malaria—which the World Health Organisation puts at 22003,22016 a year, most of them children—will open the door to the use of gene drives for far less clear-cut benefits in ways that will entrench some interests, such as those of industrial farmers, at the expense of others.

While I get the ire and need to speak out, it is taking a decidedly uncomfortable ride on the tweet-tails of the laudable Ice Bucket Challenge of a few years ago, which called attention to Lou Gehrig's disease via the videoing of a delivery of a bucket of ice self-spilled on the heads of people and then posted on social media.

And for folks who did not at all care about the issue of WHO policies on breastfeeding before it became ensnared in the headlines this week, I'd urge you to move beyond the domestic political question to the global policy matter: does international policy do enough to protect women and their babies even as it promotes the laudable goal of breastfeeding?

On the side of the Union, it is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form, and substance of government, whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men -- to lift artificial weights from all shoulders -- to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all -- to afford all, an unfettered start, and a fair chance, in the race of life.

And while the modern idea of protecting the shooter's hearing is laudable, the more effective method for doing so would be to subsidize gun owners' ownership of proper hearing-protection devices, precisely so that innocent bystanders can tell where hostile fire is coming from — whether in the woods during hunting season or in the killing grounds of downtown Las Vegas.

"The Academy has done a laudable job diversifying the membership of its voting body over the last few years, but the more difficult job is going to be interrogating how the last 220 years of Oscar canon have told us certain movies are worthier than others," Kyle Buchanan, who covers the awards for the New York Times, told me via email.

As tweaked by the playwright to chime with our own grievous times, the discussion widens to fold racism and xenophobia into the mix: a laudable impulse, in principle, that has the paradoxical effect of stopping the production dead in its tracks in favor of the sort of heavy-going debate that one might find in the comments section of many an article online.

" Let's ignore for a second that taking really valuable one-off actions can, in fact, be a very laudable thing and listen to more key-tapping by Mr. Dorsey: "If we succumb and simply react to outside pressure, rather than straightforward principles we enforce (and evolve) impartially regardless of political viewpoints, we become a service that's constructed by our personal views that can swing in any direction.

Letters To the Editor: Re "We Don't Need Another Party of 'No,' " by Will Marshall (Op-Ed, March 30): Were it possible for Democrats to work with President Trump to benefit the American people, it would be laudable to do so, but we are now into the third month of his presidency, and Mr. Trump is as self-serving as we always knew he would be.

Friendship Circle is a laudable organization, with a diverse array of programming that includes culinary arts and work training, in addition the Soul Studio art programs — and it would be facile to pretend that the dedication of founder and director Bassie Shemtov and the expertise of the corps of working artists that support Soul Studio members did not play a huge part in the development of Mirror, Mirror.

|
In addition to the specific countries mentioned above, Airbnb is extending the no-charge cancellation policy to anyone from the U.S. who has a reservation in Europe's Schengen Area, and to anyone globally, including both hosts and guests, who has to cancel a reservation: This is a pretty laudable coverage policy by Airbnb that would seem to cover just about anyone whose travel plans are directly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Whatever the justification, Palestinian violence crippled the peace process and led to other lasting setbacks: Israel's re-invasion of West Bank cities in 218, when it destroyed much the authority had built, and its construction of a barrier wall that bred resentment, entrenched some land grabs, and — in achieving the laudable goal of reducing terrorist attacks — allowed Israelis to largely tune out the Palestinians and the occupation altogether.

Red Carpet Watch 12 Photos View Slide Show ' Natalie Portman approaches clothes the way she does her roles: She is impeccably prepared for the occasion, exhibiting enough of her own taste to be distinctive and laudable, yet like a true movie star, she is still very much "Natalie Portman" — meaning that, on the red carpet, she enjoys fashion but is no tragic slave to the pomp and circumstance.

So there's these interesting ... And for a long time we've had the sense that because of American commitment to free speech, a false positive is a terrible thing, actually terrible thing, as opposed to a false positive as something that can be remedied, and we can put frameworks in place to deal with those, to have transparency, to have things like ...

"While the goal of the Call is laudable, and the list of industry signatories in particular is impressive, without the U.S. and other offensive-minded states as signatories, it feels a bit like the players on the sidelines telling the ones in the game to stop playing," said Betsy Cooper, a one-time attorney and adviser at the Department of Homeland Security who was just named director of the new Aspen Tech Policy Hub.

And the organization is going to achieve this laudable goal in part by ending the bathing suit competition, wherein women were forced to strut across a stage in a bikini and high heels, and redefining the evening wear portion of the event, so that contestants can wear whatever kind of formal outfit they want — anything that they would deem appropriate for a black tie event — as opposed to the formerly mandated gown.
