I’m trying to find the full 45-minute documentary “The Anarchist Rabbi” (2014) by Adam Kossoff.
This movie is a documentary about Rudolf Rocker, a German anarchist who worked with Jewish migrants in London’s East End, and it’s narrated by Steven Berkoff.

A German Gold-Standard Dataset for Sentiment Analysis in Software Engineering
Sentiment analysis is an essential technique for investigating the emotional climate within developer teams, contributing to both team productivity and project success. Existing sentiment analysis tools in software engineering primarily rely on English or non-German gold-standard datasets. To address this gap, our work introduces a German dataset of 5,949 unique developer statements, extracted from the German developer forum Android-Hilfe.de. Each statement was annotated with one of six basic e…

Traditional approaches like MLoRA apply a single adaptation per domain but lack flexibility in handling diverse user behaviors.

In German, the letters 's', 'ss', and 'ß' all represent a voiceless 's' sound,
but their usage depends on the preceding vowel's length and the word's structure.
Generally, 's' is used when the vowel before it is long,
'ss' is used after a short vowel,
and 'ß' (eszett or sharp s) is used after a long vowel or diphthong.
