    1. if you're going to talk about a shift in our paradigm, it is to recognize what indigenous people have always known, that we are created out of the elements of Mother Earth. And those should be our greatest responsibility, to protect them for ourselves and the rest of life on Earth.

    2. Think about what is the most important thing that we needed the moment every one of us left our mother's body. Well, of course, it was a breath of air. That first breath was to announce our arrival on the planet and inflate our lungs. And from that moment on to the last breath you take before you die, you need air 15 to 40 times a minute.

    1. The move has prompted fears of a global economic slowdown. This might seem like a positive for the climate, because greenhouse gas emissions are closely tied to economic growth. However, in the long term, the trade war is bad news for global efforts to cut emissions. It is likely to lead to more energy-intensive goods produced in the US, and dampen international investment in renewable energy projects.

    1. equivalent level ofeducation.

      I believe that the more realistic choice of words is equivalent level of educational opportunity. With a classroom as varied as Mrs. Johnson’s, as are most classrooms, how can you really measure the level of education? You can measure what you have exposed to and what they have been successful at regurgitating.

    1. Einer neuen Modellierung zufolge sind die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der globalen Erhitzung deutlich gravierender, als es bisher von vielen in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften angenommen wurde. Eine globale Temperaturerhöhung um 2° wird danach das Bruttosozialprodukt weltweit um 16% senken. Bei einer Temperaturerhöhung um vier Grad wären die Menschen auf der Erde durchschnittlich 40 % ärmer als ohne diese Erhöhung.

    1. climate futures imagined through climate modelling travel sequentially between the desks of expert communities and the IPCC, into the political sphere of the UNFCCC – leading to particular, often narrowly technocratized, imaginaries about possible climate futures (Oomen, 2019; Swyngedouw, 2011).

      Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

      summary - This a a paper that frames design and innovation, - among the most ubiquitous and important of all human activities - as a branch of futuring - Design and innovation bring something new into existence - That which is designed - is that which is imagined - is that which is not yet real - is that which is therefore a fiction - Innovation brings the fictional and imagined into reality through mobilizing and coordinating social behavior that realizes the imagined future. - This is especially critical as our species needs to rapidly imagine and bring about an aspirational future that mitigates our existential polycrisis

    4. The Anthropology of the Future, there are at least six types of affective relationships with the future: anticipation, expectation, speculation, potentiality, hope and destiny – with utopias and dystopias as particularly powerful affective motivators (Moore, 1966; Sliwinski, 2016).

    1. Longer term, divorce is rarely turns out to be as a great deal for women as they think. Books like Eat, Pray, Love – at least for a while a staple of women leaving their husbands – fill their heads with the possibilities of the future.  The media loves to extol this, creating myths such as the “cougar” (an older woman who dates much younger men) that sell them on the idea that life will be better after they divorce their husbands.

On the contrary: text is the optimum. Other types have more or less relevant downsides. text is literally the "preferred" type among string types in the Postgres type system, which can affect function or operator type resolution.
    1. Don't add a length modifier to varchar if you don't need it. (Most of the time, you don't.) Just use text for all character data. Make that varchar (standard SQL type) without length modifier if you need to stay compatible with RDBMS which don't have text as generic character string type.
    1. The long, thin spring-loaded metal flap labeled the "paper conductor" on the SM3 and SM4 and labeled the "erasing table" on the SM2 are all the same part. They serve a few functions.

      They can be used for erasing mistakes certainly and help to keep dust and debris from going into the carriage and rollers.

      The "paper conductor" description sounds like a fun translation of something from German into English, but this part also prevents the paper which goes under the paper bail and forces it up and back to the paper table and the paper support. Presumably without it, a slightly curved piece of paper might be misrouted to go right back into the platen a second time as the paper advances.

      This sort of paper conductor/dust shield can also be found on some later 1960s+ Smith-Corona (SCM) machines. For example, see the Galaxie II which calls that part the erasure table.

    1. 30% der Arktis emittieren inzwischen mehr Treibhausgase als sie aufnehmen. Außer dem Schmelzen von Permafrostböden ist dafür auch Zunahme von Waldbränden verantwortlich. Die amerikanische Forschungsbehörde NOAA spricht davon, dass die Arktis „in ein neues Regime“ gekippt ist. 2024 war in der Arktis das zweitwärmste Jahr seit Messbeginn und das Jahr mit den zweihäufigsten Waldbränden. In einem langsamen, aber sich beschleunigenden Prozess wird immer mehr der 1460-1600 Gigatonnen im Arktisboden gespeicherten organischen Kohlenstoffs freigesetzt.

      Hajo Bakker Exam vs. Test -- Een examinering moet veel vanafwegen en niet regulier gebeuren.

      Een test (toets) mag vaker gebeuren, en moet weinig vanaf hangen... Geen ouders die straffen voor een laag cijfer (of cijfers afschaffen), geen adviezen die daarvanafhangen, etc.

      Het doel van een toets is om je aan te geven wat je krachten en minder sterke punten zijn, dus waar je je op moet focussen met toekomst leren. Dit kan alleen op het moment dat je een toets nabespreekt en op individueel niveau. Klassikaal bespreken heeft vaak weinig nut.

      Daarbij komt ook dat een student moet snappen WAAROM het helpt om na te bespreken, de wetenschap erachter. Op het moment dat je de waarom achter het hoe niet goed snapt heeft het hoe minder effect. (dit is waarom in het 4C/ID model ze in een scaffold beginnen met de laatste stap, waarin de informatie van voorgaande stappen is gegeven. Dit zodat als je de vorige stap gaat leren, je een beter idee hebt waar het uiteindelijk voor gebruikt gaat worden en je er dus een betere invulling aan kan geven.)

      Semantische verschillen zijn vaak uiterst nuttig om complexe stof te begrijpen. Op het moment dat ze exact hetzelfde waren heeft het weinig nut om meerdere termen te hebben en zouden ze synoniem zijn.

      "Exam" is geen synoniem van "test".

      Genuanceerde verschillen zijn vaak nuttiger dan "umbrella terms" om goed te communiceren, als uiterst subliem wordt beargumenteerd in "Science of Memory: Concepts" van Roediger III et al.

      Daarnaast komt uiteraard bij kijken dat neurocognitieve wetenschap een blauwdruk geeft voor hoe onze brein architectuur in elkaar zit (zie bijvoorbeeld John Sweller, Cognitive Load Theory 2011, en The Forgetting Machine, Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, 2017, Science of Memory: Concepts, Roediger et al., 2007, Ten Steps to Complex Learning, van Merriënboer, 2017).

      Dit is universeel toepasbaar, afgezien van mensen met een cognitieve aandoening bijvoorbeeld, dit gaat dus over neurotypische breinen.

      Leerstijlen zijn een mythe, wel hebben wij leervoorkeuren, maar door alleen in onze leervoorkeur te leren missen wij bepaalde informatie die cruciaal kan zijn voor beter begrip en meesterschap (mastery).

      Beter is het om studietechnieken te gebruiken die overeenkomen met brein-architectuur en die onder te knie te krijgen.

      Meer cognitieve belasting te gebruiken (zonder cognitieve overbelasting te veroorzaken). Als leren "makkelijk" voelt is het over het algemeen niet uitdagend genoeg en/of de techniek niet nuttig. Herlezen / samenvatten is simpel maar vrij inefficiënt. Het maken van een GRINDEmap voelt moeilijk maar is vele malen effectiever (zie ook the misinterpreted effort hypothesis).

      Zoals Dr. Ahrens al zei: "The one who does the effort, does the learning."

      Verder heb ik een heleboel ideëen voor een optimaal onderwijs dat zich aanpast aan het individu in plaats van aan het systeem, maar dit is een te complex en groot onderwerp om zo even hier neer te zetten.

    1. Jin's operation was based in China, and he used encrypted communications and cryptocurrencies to conduct his business. The investigation involved a team of agents from various federal agencies, including the DEA, FBI, and IRS, who worked together to gather evidence and track down Jin's associates in the US. One of these associates, Bin Wang, was arrested in 2017 and later sentenced to six years in prison. The team discovered that Jin was using a company in Tonga to ship his packages, and that he was offering a wide range of synthetic opioids, including carfentanil and U-48800. As the investigation continued, the team found that Jin's operation was linked to numerous death cases across the US, and that he was using his websites to sell drugs to customers in the US. The team eventually identified Jin as Fujing Zheng, a 35-year-old man from Shanghai, and his father, Guanghua Zheng, who was 62. The Zhengs were found to be operating a sophisticated online drug trafficking operation, using encrypted communications and cryptocurrencies to conduct their business. Despite the evidence gathered, the Chinese government refused to extradite the Zhengs to the US, citing a lack of evidence. The US government eventually indicted the Zhengs and shut down their websites, but they remain at large in China. The investigation highlighted the challenges of combating online drug trafficking, particularly when it involves foreign nationals and jurisdictions.

    1. The figure of the grieving mother is a collectivity, with women characterized as part of a population of mothers with a collective experience of loss. Their dissent is practiced through invocations of a dead or imperiled soldier child, who signifies the claim to associative military masculinity. In contrast, the perspective of the returning veteran is grounded in individual experience. The film depicts women as caregivers, with their dissenting subjecthood derived from their relationships with men.
    2. this narrative of personal growth and triumph is complicated by the fact that Tomas's newfound power and authority are rooted in traditional masculine ideals. The film ultimately suggests that the military peace movement is shaped by masculinized privilege, which can be both productive and limiting.
    1. White Ribbon Campaign, which originated in Canada and has a branch in England, is a group of men committed to discussing and ending male violence against women. However, there is a lack of groups of men in the anti-militarist and peace movements who analyze and resist the deformation of manhood by militarization. For war to end, men need to become self-aware and refuse the violence expected of them, and the association of masculinity with militarism. Some men, such as those in the Turkish conscientious objectors movement and South Korean anti-militarist men, are starting to listen to feminist ideas and take on board their perspectives.
    1. These tenets, as interpreted by those who put themselves onhigh, would become the divine and spiritual foundation for thebelief in a human pyramid willed by God, a Great Chain of Being,that the founders would further sculpt in the centuries to follow,as circumstances required. And so we have what could be calledthe first pillar of caste, Divine Will and the Laws of Nature, thefirst of the organizing principles inherent in any caste system.Wilk_9780593230251_all_3p_r1.indd 104 20/6/5 8:28 AM

      Given Wilkerson's introductory chapters on knowing and understanding history, I'm heavily disappointed this is the singular reference in the book to "The Great Chain of Being". It's not even indexed in the end.

      The underlying idea of the scala naturae across a huge swath of western history is really the thing that gives rise to the problems of American history which she is attempting to bring to life here. Missing this part of the bigger picture is a serious flaw.

      Does she skirt it rhetorically so as not to give fuel to the idea that "this is how things have always been?" arguments?

    1. Überblicksartikel von 2019 zu den Angriffen auf die Wissenschaft während der ersten Trump-Regierung und ihre kurz- und langfristigen Folgen. Forschungen zur Klimakrise und öffentlichen Gesundheit wurden behindert, weil sie den Interessen der fossilen Industrien schaden. Der Kampf gegen Foschung, die Interessen bestimmter Unternehmen und Branchen bedroht, ging aber weit über die Klimathematik hinaus und dient u.a. auch der Chemie- und Agroindustrien. Zu den Maßnahmen gehörten: - Beendigung von Forschungsprojekten - Abbau des Einflusses von Wissenschaftler:innen auf regulatorische Entscheidungen - Verhinderung von öffentlichen Stellungnahmen von Wissenschaftler:innen - Behinderung von Forschungen zum menschengemachten Klimawandel - Vorschreiben erwünschter Forschungsergebnisse - Overruling von Experten durch politische Funktionäre bei Begutachtungen und Regulierungen - Einstellungsstopps und Entlassungen - Entfernung bestimmter Wissenschaftler:innen aus Beratungsgremien - Verbot der Berücksichtigung bestimmter Wissenschaftstypen bei Regulierungen - Druck auf Forschende, unwissenschaftliche Aussagen des Präsidenten zu unterstützen - Schließung von Forschungszentren und -büros und Auflösung von Ausschüssen - Umsiedlungen von Behörden und Forschungseinrichtungen in unattraktive Gegenden

    1. Nach den Erfahrungen mit den Angriffen der ersten Trump-Administration auf die Wissenschaft haben Wissenschaftler:innen in den USA verschiedene Maßnahmen zum Schutz wissenschaftlicher Institutionen ergriffen. Die New York TImes berichtet ausführlich über diese scientific integrity policies, die wissenschaftliche Arbeit öffentlich beobachtbar machen, aber politische Einflussnahme ausschließen sollen. Die Biden- und schon die Obama-Administration haben scientific integrity policies gefördert. Zu den Maßnahmen gehören die Benennung von Verantwortlichen für wissenschaftliche Integrität in Behörden und Kollektivverträge, die die Disziplinierung von Forschenden erschweren.

      Zum „War on Science“ schon der ersten Trump-Regierung gehörte außer Entlassungen von Wissenschaftler:innen auch die Anordnung der Verfälschung von Forschungsergebnissen. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/climate/trump-government-scientists.html

Das Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory der NOAA stellt seine Öffentlichkeitsarbeit wegen Personalkürzungen ein.

    1. He frequently used the trope of "magic" to describe the technologies and practices he did not fully understand. This trope was common in West African encounters with European colonizers, who were often seen as possessing mysterious powers and magical properties. Throughout his journal, Dikko emphasizes the importance of personal observation and experience. He often states that certain things are "difficult to describe" or "very difficult to describe," implying that his readers would need to see these wonders for themselves to fully appreciate them. This narrative strategy allowed Dikko to maintain his authority as a traveler and observer, while also encouraging his readers to imagine and fantasize about the wonders of Britain.

Die EU bezahlt Russland für fossile Brennstoffe mehr, als sie der Ukraine an Finanzhilfen zur Verfügung stellt. 2024 bezog sie für 22 Milliarden Euro Öl und Gas aus Russland und zahlte 19 Milliarden an die Ukraine, wobei Militär- und humanitäre Hilfe nicht einbezogen sind. Insgesamt betrugen die Einnahmen Russlands aus dem Export fossiler Brennstoffe im dritten Jahr der Invasion der ganzen Ukraine 242 Milliarden Euro.

    1. In fact, the crucial attribute shared by Milei, Musk and Trump - along with bottomless energy, idées fixe, and relentless will - is a lack of empathy. (It’s also true, to lesser or greater degrees, of successful leaders from the past, like Thatcher and De Gaulle.) Living in a closed-off mental world is not conducive to good relationships or to happiness, and it’s often a disadvantage in politics (and business). But in certain circumstances, an empathy deficit flips into being a superpower. It turns out that if you don’t care about pleasing people, you can get very popular.
    1. In den Reden der Vertreter:innen von Zentralbanken spielt die Klimakrise seit 2015 eine wichtige Rolle; in etwa einem Drittel der Reden wird sie erwähnt. Drei Wissenschaftlerinnen haben diese Diskurse systematisch untersucht und modelliert. Ob und wie die Klimakrise zum Thema wird, hängt vor allem von den institutionellen Aufgaben der Zentralbanken ab.

      Wirkungen haben diese Reden immer nur kurzfristig dadurch, dass sie die Kurse von „grünen“ Unternehmen steigen lassen.

    1. EACH NOTE CARD SHOULD BE AS PURE AND SINGULAR AN IDEA AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ALL THE PIECES AROUND

      This quote speaks to the general idea of "atomic notes" or note size and why they should be small.

      It also osculates David Lynch's idea of holding onto the essence of an idea within a story. It's almost as if the adage "take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves" were applied to the fiction writing process. If you're careful with the small pieces, the bigger piece has a stronger chance of having more authenticity.

The teachershould also model and teach a consistent conflict management strategyinvolving a 5-step mediation process. A comprehensive approach is necessaryfor children with strong unmet needs.

    1. Überblick über die gegen Klimaschutz und Energiewende gerichteten Maßnahmen der Trump-Regierung (33 vor Mitte Februar). Anders als bei der ersten Amtsübernahme Trumps ist die Administration diesmal bereit, das Verwaltungsrecht zu brechen. Executive Orders betreffen u.a. die Bereitstellung von Land in Bundesbesitz für Öl- und Gasprojekte, Behinderungen von Windenergie-Projekten und einen Stop der Bereitstellung von Ladeinfrastruktur und der Auszahlung von Subventionen für Wärmepumpen und Fotovoltaik an Einkommensschwächere. Ein Tool zum Verfolgen der Maßnahmen ist der Climate Backtracker der Columbia University.

    1. Some might wonder why I recommend Lingua Latina instead of Fr. William Most’s Latin by the Natural Method series. Though Fr. Most was a friend of Catholic Culture and a brilliant theologian, after having used both books my opinion is that Most’s Latin style is significantly inferior to and less enjoyable than Ørberg’s. For example, Ørberg early on begins to acclimatize the student to the more flexible word order that makes Latin so different from English, exposure to which is essential for true reading fluency. Most’s Latin is, especially at the beginning, clunky and tedious in order to be didactic; the brilliance of Ørberg is that he manages to be didactic for the beginner while also being fluid and clever in his writing. Yet despite his greater didacticism, Fr. Most relies on English explanations of the Latin grammar, whereas Ørberg accomplishes his task entirely in Latin. Ørberg also has illustrations to teach the meaning of words without translation. Fr. Most does not include macrons to indicate vowel length, which is essential to learn correct pronunciation. He does include stress marks, which Ørberg does not, but the rules of stress are more easily learnt without stress marks than syllable length without macrons.

      summary - This is a good article that explains the rational behind a number of Silicon Valley actors such as Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others who subscribe to a toxic and dystopian mix of: - Longterminism - Libertarianism - Accelerationism - In order to understand the actions of the tech bros, it is key to understand their modus operandi

    2. As fervent believers in Longterminism, the Silicon Valley elites are not interested in the current multiple crises of our societies. On the contrary, through their social media platforms, Zuckerberg and Musk even instigate further polarization. Climate change, inequality, erosion of democracy – who cares? What counts is the far away future, not the present. Their greatest fear is not the collapse of our climate or the mass extinction of animals – they are haunted by the nightmare of AI taking over control. This would spoil their homo deus party. AI in control doesn’t need humans anymore.

    1. Die Terz Interview-Dreaser-Neubauer zu der Frage, warum Klimapolitik im Deutschen Bundestag, Tagsweilkampf kaum eine Rolle spielt. Luisa Neubauer weiß auf die Belastung der Menschen durch die vielfältigen Krisen hin. Und sie spricht von einer Krise der Wahrheit, die ausgelöst ist durch rechtsradikale und fossile Propaganda. fossile Interessengruppen, rechtsradikale und rechte Medien bildeten ein Bündnis, das Klimapolitik permanent thematisieren. Das hänge damit zusammen, kommen wir, dass die Klimapolitik die fossilen Interessen tatsächlich gefährdet. Eine Gegenstrategie sieht darin, den Zusammenhang von Klimapolitik und Klimakrise herauszustellen. Dekabonisierung als Gemeinschaftsaufgabe begreifbar zu machen. Und wie Sie sagt, in Handarbeit zu mobilisieren, denn nur durch Mobilisierung sei es zu fortschritten in der Klimapolitik gekommen. https://taz.de/Luisa-Neubauer-uebers-Waehlen-und-Kaempfen/!6059862/
