    1. the inter-connectedness of the crises we face climate pollution biodiversity and 00:07:54 inequality require our change require a change in our exploitative relationship to our planet to a more holistic and caring one but that can only happen with a change in our behavior

      As per IPCC AR6 WGIII, Chapter 5 outlining for the first time, the enormous mitigation potential of social aspects of mitigation - such as behavioral change - can add up to 40 percent of mitigation. And also harkening back to Donella Meadows' leverage points that point out shifts in worldviews, paradigms and value systems are the most powerful leverage points in system change.

      Stop Reset Go advocates humanity builds an open source, open access praxis for Deep Humanity, understand the depths of what it means to be a living and dying human being in the context of an entwined culture. Sharing best practices and constantly crowdsourcing the universal and salient aspects of our common humanity can help rapidly transform the inner space of each human INTERbeing, which can powerfully influence outer (social) transformation.

    1. The hyper-response aims to deflate or attack the hyperthreat by operating at the microlevel through “mesh-interventions” as well as at the macrolevel through realignment of great nation states and tribes.

      In IPCC AR6 WGIII Parlence, middle actors can mediate a community scale change, which becomes a force multiplier for individual change. Supercharging individual change is what can lead to significant scale of impact through many and many types of mesh interventions. The scale of such mesh interventions will have a "trickle up" effect to affect and accelerate the actions of top down actors.

      This would be truly empowering as the current agency of the individual at the grassroots level is ineffectual.

      Stop Reset Go (SRG) s a simple but powerful meme that is designed to be used by anyone to effect transition. When we recognize that something is harmful and needs to change, SRG can be invoked as a simple rule for transition. The colors of the traffic light are used as a mnemonic aid. If there is a problem with a human process, then STOP. think of an alternative way of achieving the same goal that does not bring about the harm (RESET). When the alternative has been trialed, tested and proven to work without causing more progress traps, then find a way to scale and implement the solution (GO).

      SRG therefore becomes a simple mesh intervention that can be applied at all scales and dimensions. Its iterative and recursive use can be tracked in the Indyweb and interventions can be modeled by AI assistants that can analyze for potential unintended consequences through connections outside the focus area of the designer, and not normally explored by the designers. This augers a truly circular design methodology of the lowest potential impact.

    2. “low-hanging fruit”

      IPCC AR6 WGIII Chapter 5: demand, services and social aspects of mitigation identifies that up to 45% of mitigation can result from a demand-side socialization strategy and collective action mobilization. This gives us tremendous power of impact to mobilize people. The low hanging fruit can be identified by comprehensive, ongoing, deep, global conversations with the greatest diversity of actors with a common vision collectively searching for the social tipping points, leverage points and idling resources and scaling massively thru the Indyweb as a cosmolocal network (what's light we share, what's heavy we produce locally).

      Climate scientist and realist Professor Kevin Anderson has argued for many years that demand side changes are the only solutions that can be implemented rapidly enough to peak emissions and drop emissions rapidly in the short term (next few years), buying time for reneewable energy solutions to scale globally.

    3. An analysis of “friendly forces” via a “tribal discourse” activity found that although many of humanity’s smaller and less powerful tribes are engaged in minor operations against the hyperthreat, its most powerful tribes often abet the hyperthreat (figure 2). If humanity’s tribes could be united against the hyperthreat, the current balance of probabilities, which currently lie with a hyperthreat victory and a Hothouse Earth outcome, could be recast.

      This is the key idea behind mobilizing an effective global, multi-stakeholder, bottom-up response. Minor operations implies an aggregate approach that has little impact, otherwise known colloquially as "tinkering at the edge". IPCC AR6, WGIII Chapter 5 articulates this same message and for the first time, outlines that demand side system changes can play a significant role in mitigation effectiveness against the hyperthreat. It must be collectively organized individual change that scales to community scales around the globe in order to have impact, leveraging what the IPCC call "middle actors".

      An effective strategy must be very time sensitive to the short time window to peak emissions so must identify all leverage points, idling resources and social tipping points available to a global bottom-up mobilization.

    1. In 1 Samuel chapter 5 we are told that after the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant, they took it to the Temple of Dagon in Ashdod. But this resulted in the miraculous destruction of his cult statue. Yahweh wins again.

      1 Samuel 5 describes an event at the Temple of Dagon, the father of Baal, in Ashdod where the cult's statue is destroyed.

      I cant find the exact part where it specifies always being able to prohibit expression when its offensive or disagreeable. but I definitely think this is wrong

    1. Esa “formación” del hombre, que lo conduce a una estructura de la personalidad de tipo psicopático

      No existe un perfil único de maltratador. Tampoco se trata de hombres agresivos ni de psicópatas. Nuestro estudio pone en cuestión los estereotipos relacionados hasta ahora con la conducta y los rasgos del maltratador, como puede ser el consumo de sustancias tóxicas y de alcohol, la vivencia de experiencias traumáticas en la edad infantil o los problemas psíquicos. En este último aspecto, los datos del patrón de personalidad de un grupo de maltratadores basados en el inventario clínico multiaxial Millon-II señalan a la compulsividad como rasgo más destacado de estas personas; no obstante, el percentil no supera el grado de normalidad, por lo que se descarta la posibilidad de una psicopatología.

    1. 10 percent of the private schools available were religious, and only 5 percent of students used their vouchers at private schools.

      80% of the private schools available were religious, and 97% of the students used the vouchers at private schools.

      Simmons- Harris sued because they thought the voucher program violated the first amendment establishment clause- NOT because of "only 10% of private schools...."

    1. Polypropylene containers are autoclavable. The recommended autoclave cycle for empty containers is 121°C at 15 psi for 20 minutes. Care must be taken to allow free air circulation into and out of vessels during the autoclave cycle, especially during the venting and cooling stages. If the container is not properly vented, collapse or implosion (sometimes confused with melting) can occur. When autoclaving bottles and carboys, the cap threads must be completely disengaged from the container; the cap can be set loosely over the mouth opening at a rogue angle to ensure the threads don’t inadvertently engage. Once the container is completely cooled, the cap can be aseptically tipped into place and tightened down.

      This is virtually identical to pressure cooker conditions. Thus these tips likely apply equally to cooking. Moreover, I take this as evidence that is appropriate for cooking food in the pressure cooker, though it may warp under stresses (so stacking containers may cause warping).

    1. Truman's action can be upheld as an exercise of the president's inherent military power as commander-in-chief.

      This is not true. In fact, the case brief in the book directly mentions that "the Order cannot properly be sustained as an exercise of the President's military power as commander in Chief of the Armed Forces."

    1. ✔️ CONSIDER upgrading to the latest project file format even if you can't yet port your app. .NET Framework projects use an outdated project format. Even though the latest project format, known as SDK-style projects, was created for .NET Core and beyond, they work with .NET Framework. Having your project file in the latest format gives you a good basis for porting your app in the future.

      SDK-style projects are compatible with old .NET Framework.

      In the previous chapter, Ar. identified one key element in having virtue of character: voluntary action. However, as Ar. explains in this chapter, decision (prohairesis) in actions is necessary in order to be virtuous. But what is decision? Here, Ar. conducts a brief initial investigation into the nature of decision. Ar. excludes the possibilities that decision is appetite, wish, or judgement. He concludes this paragraph by indicating that decision is the product of prior deliberation.

    1. Results for individual PALB2 variants were normalized relative to WT-PALB2 and the p.Tyr551ter (p.Y551X) truncating variant on a 1:5 scale with the fold change in GFP-positive cells for WT set at 5.0 and fold change GFP-positive cells for p.Y551X set at 1.0. The p.L24S (c.71T>C), p.L35P (c.104T>C), p.I944N (c.2831T>A), and p.L1070P (c.3209T>C) variants and all protein-truncating frame-shift and deletion variants tested were deficient in HDR activity, with normalized fold change <2.0 (approximately 40% activity) (Fig. 1a).

    1. Ainsi, les auteurs ont montré que Nao pouvait de ce fait participer aux thérapies visant à améliorer le déficit d'attention conjointe constaté chez les enfants atteints de troubles du spectre autistique. En revanche, il n'est absolument pas question de remplacer les thérapeutes humains, qui adaptent bien mieux leur comportement au cas qu'ils ont face à eux que la machine.

      L'introduction du paragraphe par ainsi nous emmène vers une conclusion et un renforcement d'argument de départ que Nao est fait pour améliorer le déficit d'attention conjointe chez l'autiste et pas pour être à la place du thérapeute dans un cadre de thérapie.

    2. Pour tester l'efficacité de leur protocole, les auteurs de cette étude ont comparé le succès de l'Homme et de la machine sur une douzaine d'enfants de 2 à 6 ans, dont la moitié souffrait d'autisme. Les participants du groupe témoin manifestaient davantage d'attention à l'expérimentateur humain que les autistes, d'après le temps de regard que chaque enfant consacrait à son interlocuteur. En revanche, les deux lots manifestaient autant d'intérêt au robot

      Une expérience faite sur deux groupes sujets au nombre de douze âgés de 2 à 6 ans dont la moitié souffrait d'autisme. le groupe témoin manifeste une attention à l'interlocuteur et au robot. le groupe autistes manifeste plus d'attention au robot qu'à l'interlocuteur. Ici, une comparaison de résultats entre deux groupes pour montrer le manque d'attention des autistes face aux humains et qu'ils sont plus attirés par le robot.

    1. Quand on sait que parmi les figures les plus valorisées au sein des identités journalistiques, on trouve d’une part, le journaliste-reporter – toujours sur le terrain, en train de traquer l’événement là où il se passe – d’autre part, le journaliste-auteur, toujours en train d’écrire, on perçoit bien que le travail qui coince derrière un bureau un journaliste découpant et collant des morceaux de textes produits ailleurs, n’est pas exactement celui qui fait rêver.

      Met directement en confrontation l'investigation et le coté bureaucratique d'un journaliste.

    1. Pacific Citizen, Vol. 45, No. 19 (November 8, 1957)

      This was in the legal topics section of the Densho Digital Repository. It speaks about racial hate groups and their rise in the west. This was after the internment ended and a few years after Pearl Harbor so this tells me there is still animosity and hate in the communities in regards to the Japanese.

    1. The myths then become a way to denounce Somalis as potential renewers by insisting on their status as guests, and specifically as recipients of charity, burdened by the gift of humanitarianism

      Somalis are what is keeping a struggling Lewiston alive.

    2. Reports in the paper of car accidents involving Somalis always provoke a slew of comments that they should not be allowed to drive at all.

      This again has to do with stereotypes regarding refugees. Americans treat immigrants as people who have never experienced driving or other luxuries. These type of thoughts provoke quite negative comments about refugees.

    3. The dol report also did not include the time Somalis donate to the city, through participating in the numerous focus groups of researchers and other organizations, giving (uncompensated) presentations to local organizations and schools, and vol-unteering in support of other city projects

      Some of these studies tend to leave out the good details behind something, it a way it gets society thinking about what THEY want them to think. In a way, this is pushing prejudice and racism.

    4. When non-Somali clients whose tanf benefits are re-duced or denied because of household changes blame Somalis for their loss of benefits, he patiently explains that “everyone is getting exactly what they’re eligible for and Somalis don’t get any more than anyone else.” He is frustrated by the accusations that somehow Somali eligibility impacts the eligibility of other Mainers, and when I suggest it may reflect a perception of a zero-sum game—t he more they get, the less there is for me—he replies, “It’s not about the division of resources. It’s about prejudice.”

      It's hard to conceptualize this because our society thought they had moved past the discrimination when in reality nothing has changed when it comes to racism.

    5. They don’t know. No one’s ever explained it to them....[Our mu-seum visitors] didn’t have any idea they spent time in refugee camps and how horrible it was. They didn’t know about the war, about the loss, the horror....Viewers never realized how hard they had it in their country and why they had to leave. Genocide was never on their radar. Rape was never on their radar.

      Our society is so quick to judge and hate when someone knew comes into their community.

    1. None of that is possible with free but traditionally copyrighted content.

      I disagree again. Fair use in LMSs afford lots of pedagogical innovation, such as Hypothesis discussion of pdfs housed inside the shell and offered under fair use. I think the author is holding to tightly to his own 5-R formula, which is powerful but not omnipotent.

    1. systematic domination of women by men

      "systematic domination of women by men" the beside statement is varies according to person to person, that is the right each one but according to my perspective the idea is wrong because after a long period of time each girl will feel some loneliness. This isolation can be avoided if you have some to care you. No women in the could be independent but they can live independently only a certain period after they miss something in their life. Everyone will leave you but the one who love you will stick with your downs and ups. Your parents will pass you but your husband be with you until something has happen. Below you have five important benefits.

    1. Internet Reciprocal Teaching Promotes the Five CsCreativity: Students use divergent-thinking skills to generate their own questions and keywords for online searches. Their final projects require them to creatively express their own point of view. Communication: Students share what they learn as they work in small groups and with the whole class. They communicate with a wider audience by posting on a class blog. Collaboration: Students create collaborative knowledge through Internet inquiry and social interactions. They comment on one another's work using technologies such as VoiceThread and support one another through instant messaging. Critical Thinking: When using the Internet, students build the text they read, choosing which links to follow and which to ignore. The nonlinear nature of online reading helps support critical thinking. Students also learn to question the perspective and bias of online sources. Comprehension: Students learn important online reading skills, such as how to distinguish news articles from blog posts and editorials. They carefully read texts they encounter online to understand and evaluate different perspectives.

      5 Cs

    1. five phases:
      1. students collaborative with instructor to pick area of interest and work on a DQ to guide their research.
      2. students engage in OCI as the do research and use digital tools to make discoveries 3.Students use critical thinking to evaluate online info by analyzing credibility of their info. 4.Students synthesize what they learned/researched by combining info in multiple, multimodal sources.
      3. Students engage in online content construction by putting their research into their own words and choosing the best digital tool/text before sharing their answers.
