    1. as she does in the bus segregation case –then she engages in direct civil disobedience. When she breachesa law other than the one she opposes – suppose she engages in trespassto protest the bus segregation laws – then she engages in indirect civildisobedience. 2

      a civil disobedient transgressing the law itself they wish to oppose is direct civil disobedience

      indirect civil disobedience is protest by transgression of other laws

      TORQUE TABLES

      What it is: Raw torque lookups keyed by RPM with an accompanying “compression/negative-Nm” channel from the file. Structure in XML:

      Row0 starts a table (b0, comp, tq), then multiple rows as row-i (int RPM) or row-f (float RPM). Optional endvar tail exists. Sanity constraints: rpm 0–25000, comp −300…300, tq −4000…10000. Tuning cue: This is the ground truth for engine output. Any rescale you do should respect the defined ranges to avoid invalid parses.

      BOOST TABLES

      What it is: Turbo/boost lookup by RPM with throttle columns. Structure in XML:

      Row0: b0, then throttle columns t0/t25/t50/t75/t100 (bar).

      Row-i: adds rpm + the same five throttle columns. Sanity constraints: each throttle cell 0.5–3.0 bar. Tuning cue: Shape the five throttle traces per RPM to control response; keep within bounds to remain parsable.

      LIMITS & RPM CONTROL

      RevLimitRange Two encodings (float/float/byte or int/int/byte). Defines limit_min, limit_max, steps (unit rpm). Use for hard/soft limiter windows in the map.

      RevLimitSetting Single byte selector for the active limiter slot/index. Selects which limit from the defined range to use.

      RevLimitLogic Float logic scalar used by the limiter behavior. Acts as a tuning knob for how the limiter applies.

      LifetimeEngineRPM Float or int variant: avg, max (rpm). Book-keeping fields embedded in the file; not a control.

      FUEL & ENGINE MAPPING

      FuelConsumption | FuelEstimate Single float each. Consumption/estimation scalars carried with the engine.

      EngineFuelMapRange Three bytes: min, max, step. Index range for fuel map selection.

      EngineFuelMapSetting Byte map_index. Chooses current fuel map within the above range.

      EngineBrakingMapRange float min, float max, byte steps. Defines decel/engine-brake map scale.

      EngineBrakingMapSetting Byte map_index. Selects active engine-brake map.

      EngineInertia Float (unit kg·m², bounded in XML). Rotational inertia used by the solver.

      Unknown_EngineFreeRevs Float placeholder. Keep as-is unless you’ve correlated it.

      IdleRPMLogic Two variants: floats or ints for rpm_low, rpm_high. Idle window/reference used by the map.

      LaunchEfficiency | LaunchRPMLogic Float efficiency and two-value launch RPM logic. Affect launch behavior in the engine context.

      THERMAL MODEL

      OptimumOilTemp Float °C. Target/nominal oil temp.

      CombustionHeat | EngineSpeedHeat Floats contributing to heat generation terms.

      OilMinimumCooling | WaterMinimumCooling Floats: baseline cooling capacities.

      OilWaterHeatTransfer | RadiatorCooling Pair of floats each: coupling and radiator cooling terms.

      LifetimeOilTemp float avg, float max °C. Book-keeping values; not controls.

      EMISSIONS & MISC FLOATS

      EngineEmission Three floats e1/e2/e3. Generic emissions scalars recorded in the file.

      LifetimeAvg | LifetimeVar Float each. Statistical placeholders carried in the data.

      Unknown_Float_2265DD60 | Unknown_Float_229217E0 Floats with unknown semantics; retain original values.

      STARTER & AUX BYTES

      OnboardStarter Byte presence flag.

      EDF_UNKN_005 Byte unnamed control; do not alter without evidence.

      StarterTiming Three floats t1/t2/t3. Timing scalars used by start sequence.

      AirRestrictorRange float min, float max, byte steps. Defines restrictor band and discretization.

      Unknown_Byte_2B3ED340 Byte placeholder.

      BoostRange | BoostSetting Range: byte min, float max (bar), byte steps; Setting: byte. Caps and selects boost within allowed envelope.

      ENGINE LAYOUT TAGS

      What it is: Byte sequences near the file tail that identify cylinder/rotor layout (e.g., Straight 4, V8, Flat 6, V12, etc.). Usage: Read-only hints stored in the binary; they do not change maps but help classify engines in tooling

    1. emale are the distinctions of nature, good and bad the distinctions of Heaven; but how arace of men came into the world so exalted above the rest, and distinguished like some newspecies, is worth inquiring into, and whether they are the means of happiness or of misery tomankind

      This part asks why some people are seen as better than others, like a different kind of human. It says that being a king or ruler is not natural and might cause problems instead of helping people.

    2. But there is another and great distinction for which no truly natural or religious reason canbe assigned, and that is the distinction of men into KINGS and SUBJECTS.

      Paine argue that dividing people into kings and subjects is unnatural and unfair. He says God never created some people to rule and others to obey. This challenges the idea of monarchy and supports equality among all men.

    3. Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficientlyfashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG,gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT,

      Paine is writing in 1776 to Americans in the colonies. He wants them to question British rule, even though most are used to it. He is trying to open their eyes and make them think for themselves instead of just following tradition. Paine believes that with time and reason, more people will see that independence is the right choice.

    4. Thomas Paine Calls for Americanindependence, 1776

      Paine's words are emotional and persuasive. He inspire readers to value freedom, equality, and independence, showing that ordinary people have the power to create change. His writing gave many colonists hope and courage to stand up to Britain. Paine's ideas helped spread the belief that a new, fair government could be built by the people themselves.

    1. Vós rai!

      expressió per treure la importància (Això rai!, tu rai!)

    1. As educators, we willgreatly advance our students if we provide intense instructionin Standard English. Alternatively, those well intentionedteachers who choose to withhold such instruction forwhatever reason will likely disadvantage their students andvisit real-world harm to satisfy an impulse that very well mayinvolve egocentric virtue signaling.

      his argument? and there is no proof that it will give us a disadvantage.

    2. On a more practical level, such qualitiescan improve human lives wholesale through the exchange ofideas, advancement of thought, and facilitation of trade.

      I can agree to this; it helps me be able to think a little more on wording and if I can use a better sentence structure.

    3. Standardized communication will likely benefit allpractitioners; however, all groups struggle to attaincompetencies in SAEA because it is a dialect separate fromall others.

      That could be a proven fact

    4. Very recently, though, some scholars have resurrectedarguments rooted in the 1970‟s. These arguments questionthe established practice of supporting Standard LanguageIdeologies, and perhaps the most direct and visibleopposition to embracing Standard English of late hasemerged from Dr. Asao B. Inoue, the past President of theConference on College Communication and Composition(CCCC) and keynote speaker at the 2019 CCCC

      A speech from Dr. Inoue's 'How Do We Language So People Stop Killing Each Other, or "What Do We Do About White Language Supremacy?" doesnt specify

    5. That Subject A examoperated until the early twenty-first century when thenomenclature changed to the Analytical Writing PlacementExam (AWPE)

      when did they start implementing the change of name to AWPE?

    6. The traditionalresponse is remarkably pragmatic: Students with such skillsare far more likely to excel in courses that use Standard5 One need look no further than Ferdinand de Saussure‟s famous textCourse in General Linguistics and the poignant concept of sign and signifier.The greater the linguistic difference between sign and signifier leads to thegreater the possibility of slippage between sign and signifier.English textbooks, rely on lectures in English, and routinelyassign papers to be submitted in English.

      That could be said to dialectical people as well as long as they use their language in these questions, and their responses.

    7. In the“Report of The National Commission on Writing forAmerica‟s Families, Schools, and Colleges” generated byCollege Board in September of 2004, writing was recognizedas a “‟threshold skill‟ for both employment and promotion,particularly salaried employees.” (3) [14]. The surveyconsidered 120 major American corporations thatrepresented almost eight million workers.

      that's a good study to conduct research on.

    8. Smith is one of the more recentscholars to forward such a particularly lucid example of theantagonism towards Standard English, but Smith‟s argumentis notable and potent because the authors suggest changes tothe mechanism of testing.4

    9. Melinda J. McBee Orzulak, for example,supports the idea that Deficit Language Ideologies – the ideathat Englishes that diverge from Standard English –“marginalize nondominant groups and promote dominantgroups‟ interests” (180), presumably both within the confinesof education and in society at large [12]. Embracing apedagogical approach that places Standard English in aseminal position in the composition classroom, according toOrzulak, wouldFurther advocate for linguistic separatism by ignoringthe realities of code-meshing. One aspect of deficitlanguage ideology is the belief that if something is not“standard” English, it is not grammatical or that sloppypeople use sloppy grammar. (180)

      some good arguments to be read over

    10. Displacinginstructional time to accommodate code-meshing andcode-switching has the unfortunate byproduct of limitinginstruction in Standard English and introducing linguisticconcepts that actually interfere with Standard Englishacquisition. As a result, students may be placed at adisadvantage in acquiring the linguistic skills necessary tojoin in the Burkean parlor.

      Why can't we just have two separate required classes?

    11. Ultimately, composition classes are limited in scope, soinstructors must make practical decisions about what will beemphasized and what will be ignored.

      What gets ignored and what gets emphasized?

    12. “it seems useful to ask them [students] to not onlymesh codes, but to consider the politically-charged origins ofthe „codes‟ they employ, and to think about ways in whichthey might interrogate – and even construct – these codes interms of their specific personal, cultural, and rhetoricalsituations” (283).

    13. In other words,Standard English provides a platform for inclusivity that isarguably absent in multiple Englishes.

      I wish we could see these arguments that the author is talking about.

    14. The potential pitfall of code-meshing and the subtledisplacement of Standard English rests in a slippery slope asit can apply to instruction in the composition classroom;

      I don't understand this how it says apply to instruction in the comp classrooms?

    15. If Cochran-Smith et al. are correct,then instructors might be inclined to traverse the slipperyslope of validating code-meshing, an approach thatinvalidates the concept of Standard English, and, arguably,generates confusion about the role of Standard English andexpectations around Standard English.

      read up on this to see if their outcries to implication of code meshing worked

    16. current criticism in Composition/Rhetoricthat addresses the linguistic construct of multiple Englishesand their relationship to Standard English, most especially asthe relationship is conceived in American higher education

      about the topic

    17. The Lord came down to see the city and the tower thatthe men had built. Then the Lord said: ”If now, whilethey are one people, all speaking the same language,they have started to do this, nothing will later stop themfrom doing whatever they presume to do. Let us then godown and there confuse their language, so that one willManuscript received September 9, 2019; revised January 21, 2020.Paul A. J. Beehler is with the University of California Riverside, UnitedStates (e-mail: paulb@ucr.edu).not understand what another says.”

      not really related, but I would have thought The Lord would want everyone in union out of all races.

    18. In this archetypal story, people are remarkably productiveand industrious specifically because of their reliance on acommon language.

      communication was understood a whole lot easier thus being productive and getting things done.

    19. This response considers an excerpt of Dr.Inoue’s speech and then ultimately refutes the argument thatStandard English should be abandoned

      What was speech segment taken from? and why does it prove the argument wrong that Standard English should be abandoned?

    20. bstract—Scholarly debates about Standard English in the1970’s were, in part, instigated by the 1969 Task Force onRacism and Bias in the Teaching of English.

      What does the Task Force on racism and bias in teaching of English do? are they still around?

    1. If it were a war for the purpose of making democracy safe for the world, we would say that democracy must first be safe for America before it can be safe for the world.

      She talking :o

    1. and, this is why it is tempting for us, scientists, to think that this is the right and perhaps only way to tackle challenging problems. first, figure out precise mechanism by which phenomena behind these challenging problems happen, and then based on the uncovered mechanism, come up with solutions to these problems. surely once we know why and who problems manifest themselves, we can fix the problems.

      Very very important argument. This is similar to the intuition of Ilya about Deep Learning. In the past, the reason why researchers prefered classical ML is because they can theoretically prove understand and prove their mechanism. But Ilya think Deep Learning is perfect because we cannot model them.

    1. The information you share online can last a long time and may be seen by thousands of people all around the world.

      I asked myself: What posts or comments from my past might still exist online that I would not make now, and could they affect my personal or professional life? Our digital footprints are persistent. What seems innocuous now can be seen later by employers, peers, or public audiences and may influence perceptions of us. Being proactive about past content helps manage our online identity and reputation.

    2. When downloading an app, stop and consider: Have you read the app’s terms of use? Do you know what you’re giving the app permission to access? (e.g., your camera, microphone, location information, contacts, etc.) Can you change the permissions you’ve given the app without affecting its functionality? Who gets access to the data collected through your use of the app, and how will it be used? What kind of privacy options does the app offer?

      I realize I rarely read full terms of use for apps. So my action: For two apps I use frequently and haven’t reviewed recently, I will open the permissions settings, list what the app can access, and decide whether to revoke any permissions (especially microphone, camera, location) that seem unnecessary. Many apps collect more data than we consciously realize; this collection can invade our privacy, expose identity-information, or enable profiling/tracking. By auditing permissions we reduce our exposure and increase control of our digital identity.
