今天,纽约地方法院的陪审团作出一致的初审意见,认为对三十四项检方提交的罪名川普有罪。

新闻报道里说,这是a jury of his peers。那意思是这十二个陪审员是川普的“同类人”。为什么这样说?

ChatGPT给出了这样的解释:

The phrase "jury of his peers" refers to the constitutional right in many democratic legal systems for a person accused of a crime to be judged by a group of fellow citizens. This principle is enshrined in the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which guarantees the right to an impartial jury. Here’s why it’s called a "jury of his peers":

1. **Representation**: The term "peers" means that the jury is made up of individuals from a similar community or society as the defendant. This aims to ensure that the defendant is judged by people who can understand their circumstances and societal norms.

2. **Impartiality**: A jury of peers helps to ensure impartiality and fairness in the trial process. The idea is that a diverse group of individuals, representative of the community, can provide a balanced perspective, reducing the potential for bias.

3. **Historical Context**: The concept dates back to Magna Carta in 1215, which established that freemen should not be subjected to judgment except by their equals. This principle has evolved but still fundamentally supports the notion that legal judgments should come from one’s community rather than a distant authority.

4. **Legal Definition**: Legally, a "jury of peers" does not mean people who are identical to the defendant in every way (e.g., race, gender, socioeconomic status) but rather a cross-section of the community that ensures a fair trial. The jurors are selected through a process designed to vet and eliminate potential biases.

Thus, the term "jury of his peers" is integral to ensuring that the justice system operates fairly and equitably, reflecting the collective judgment of a diverse and impartial group of citizens

The study found (that) basic measures [to tackle some of the key causes of environmental damage] were still not being taken.

句子的基本结构是:They study found that basic measures were still not being taken. 这个句子省略了that。to tackle some of the key causes of environmental damage是修饰basic measures的定语。okay,结束。

最近,看到一些贴子,在说麦当劳的食品质量问题,然后,就有一些人,就又跟贴说什么美国企业的坏话。

事实上,麦当劳很多年前,在中国的业务已经出售给了中国企业,麦当劳已经失去了控制权,名义上是麦当劳,本质上是国企,国内麦当劳的控股方是国有企业。

这也跟那个可口可乐的性质类似。

而有些人说,自从麦当劳变成“金拱门”之后,它的厕所就不见了。以前是找到麦当劳等于找到厕所,而麦当劳变“金拱门”之后,厕所就没有了。

听说,麦当劳是在2016年左右,它出售了股权,它在中国业务,持股只占20%,而后来,它又从别人手上买回28%的股份,多花了5倍的资金买了回来,做了一大单亏本的生意。然后,现在它的持股仅占48%,而52%的股份是属于中国企业,即中国的国企所有。

那严格来讲,国内的麦当劳,其实就是打着麦当劳牌子的一个叫金拱门的国企。

如果这个企业的食品质量出现问题,那首先应该出来道歉的,应该就是金拱门吧。其实也没美国的麦当劳什么事了。尽管牌子是美国的麦当劳的,但这些人员,材料等等,都是金拱门的。

严格意义讲,这麦当劳和肯德基,到底算不算假的洋品牌?说真的,很久没吃过麦当劳肯德基,油炸的东西不健康。应该是说,但凡高温处理过的东西都不健康(超过100度)。

之前就听说,一些洋牌子的国内外的配方是不同的,现在看来,控股权都可能是不同的。将来骂人也要骂对人吧,到底是哪些人在毒害自己人。当然了,也有可能美国的麦当劳在其他地方也采用这一种政策,毕竟如果不卖股权出去,让别人的家属也来赚点钱,可能很难落地生根的。

又或许换个角度思考,它们这一种合作形式,最后麦当劳竟然成为了“小股东”,没有控股权,但又打着这个洋人的牌子,算不算是国内的企业打着洋子牌子来行骗?算不算挂羊头卖狗肉?毕竟用了洋子的牌子,但洋人却是小股东。洋人管不着他们。

Houses near the sea are exposed to several risks due to wind blowing from the sea, also known as onshore winds. Here are the key risks:

### 1. **Salt Spray Corrosion**

- **Impact**: Salt carried by sea winds can cause corrosion and damage to metal fixtures, roofing, and outdoor furniture.

- **Effect**: Accelerates wear and tear, leading to higher maintenance costs and potentially reducing the lifespan of the house's exterior materials .

### 2. **Structural Damage from High Winds**

- **Impact**: Coastal areas often experience stronger winds, which can cause physical damage to the structure of the house.

- **Effect**: Roof shingles can be torn off, windows can be broken, and siding can be damaged. Strong winds can also lead to structural issues over time .

### 3. **Moisture Intrusion**

- **Impact**: Wind-driven rain can force moisture into small cracks and crevices in the house.

- **Effect**: This can lead to mold, mildew, and rot, particularly in wooden structures. Moisture can also damage insulation and electrical systems .

### 4. **Sand and Debris Damage**

- **Impact**: Winds can carry sand and debris, which can act as an abrasive against the exterior surfaces of the house.

- **Effect**: This can erode paint, damage windows, and clog gutters. Sand can also infiltrate into living spaces, causing additional maintenance issues .

### 5. **Increased Wear on HVAC Systems**

- **Impact**: Coastal winds can carry salt and moisture, affecting the efficiency and lifespan of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

- **Effect**: HVAC units may require more frequent maintenance and replacements due to corrosion and salt build-up .

### 6. **Impact on Landscaping**

- **Impact**: Wind and salt spray can affect plant health, leading to increased gardening and landscaping challenges.

- **Effect**: Certain plants may not thrive in the salty, windy conditions, requiring the use of more robust, salt-tolerant species .

### Mitigation Measures

To mitigate these risks, homeowners can:

- Use corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel, treated wood).

- Install impact-resistant windows and reinforced roofing.

- Apply protective coatings to metal surfaces.

- Regularly maintain and inspect the property for signs of damage.

- Design landscaping with salt-tolerant plants and windbreaks.

### Conclusion

While living near the sea offers many benefits, it also comes with specific challenges related to wind and salt exposure. Proper construction materials, regular maintenance, and thoughtful landscaping can help mitigate these risks and protect the home from the harsh coastal environment.
