Meanwhile, his easily parodied stylistic hallmarks — swirling cameras, sunlit landscapes, fields of tall grasses waving in the wind, barefoot maidens tiptoeing in pools of water, beautiful actors, and, above all, whispery philosophical voiceovers — are pulling in diminishing returns, at times feeling obvious or even rote, rather than poetic and calculated.

The Force Awakens sought to replicate that, to diminishing returns, but The Last Jedi harkens back to what made Star Wars so important in the first place — it's fun, it's kind of all over the place, but it's dripping with emotion and pathos and, most importantly, it tells a hell of a story.

But, is the Fed still -- isn't there the law of diminishing returns for what they're able to do and we hit that yet I don't think looks like we haven't because they've we got a pause which bounced us in December and then we got something more recently where there might be a cut and it worked again.

While just over a year ago the group was still celebrating its capture of Iraq's second city, new releases show — with the same degree of hype — the temporary capture of a small mud-brick desert hamlet, or raids against isolated Iraqi patrol bases, evidence of the diminishing returns of IS's war against the rest of the world.

A common mistake made by pop-culture junkies is thinking that the diminishing returns of the Jaws franchise reach their apotheosis in Jaws: The Revenge, in which a shark kills Sean Brody (Sheriff Brody's younger son and one of the main characters of both Jaws 2 and Jaws 3-D) and then follows Lorraine Gary to the Caribbean seeking revenge for all shark-kind.

A polygenic risk score derived from huge genome-wide association studies predicted heart attack risk in nearly 300,000 people in the UK. (Read more about how scientists come up with polygenic risk scores here.) Because each change in the genome — called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs (pronounced "snip") — confers such a tiny change in risk, adding more and more of them to the risk score yields diminishing returns.

Diminishing returns There is still no clarity on when Pelosi will set up votes to appoint managers and transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate, but allies made clear the events of the last few weeks -- several news stories highlighting new elements of the Ukraine allegations and, most notably, Bolton's willingness to testify if subpoenaed, served to validate the decision to hold onto the articles for a period.

But just as unlikely would have been the suggestion that, at the same point of the season, C. C. Sabathia — at 24.46 years old and in the last year of a $122 million contract that has produced steadily diminishing returns — would have the best record of their starters to go with a sub-4.00 E.R.A. And yet that is where the Yankees stand after Wednesday's 8-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium — with a No. 1 starter who can't seem to remember how to win, and a veteran at the back end of the rotation who seems to have forgotten how to lose.
