    1. head towards the car.

      The jumping between events are memories is interesting, reminds me of some of Kurt Vonnegut's writings. But, be careful to tie up the loose ends and lost elements that you get from proper transitions in your writing. So far, I have been getting lost at certain points, so it is just something that you should keep in mind for editing later on.

    1. nd its juche cult. Like Communist China, the North Korean regime strongly emphasises nationalism. Korean culture was traditionally very Confucianist, and prior to communism Korean society was also more responsive to Christianity than any other in Asia. In a manner different to Imperial Japan, North Korea has developed its own form of post‐Confucianist 'family state', with the leader the divine (or in the Korean case, superhuman) head of a tightly identified 'family nation', for whom he is the centre of a cult that offers collective transcendence.

    1. Speaking with MIT Technology Review, Rohit Prasad, Alexa’s head scientist, has now revealed further details about where Alexa is headed next. The crux of the plan is for the voice assistant to move from passive to proactive interactions. Rather than wait for and respond to requests, Alexa will anticipate what the user might want. The idea is to turn Alexa into an omnipresent companion that actively shapes and orchestrates your life. This will require Alexa to get to know you better than ever before.

      This is some next-level onslaught.

    1. Gary looked up at the old man.

      I like the character of the old man. Ominous like he is a government official or maybe the head of the Council. Makes me invested to read more

    1. sardar

      Sardar, also written as sirdar in British English, is a military chief or leader of a force or army, used in India and other southeast Asian countries. It comes from the Urdu, or Persian, words sar (head) and dār (possessor).

    1. It’s 8:40am. Time for the ceremony. I give myself an extra five minutes to head to the arena, for my heels will only allow me to go so fast. I move past the familiar string of white square buildings, like giant teeth,

      You never mentioned that main character was leaving after staring in mirror, confused me for a bit when she starts to "move past..."

    1. The white, sterile buildings in the center of the commercial sect were the only tall buildings in all the varying parts of the city. The industrial sect had a dark gray tone, but they were between four and six floors. The residential sect had the same buildings side by side. It made the construction of the mass transportation of citizens into the commercial sect easier. They are all a light gray tone, with the same round, dark green faux bushes accenting the homes next to the front-facing windows.

      This is just lovely! It gives me a sense of space and paints a clear picture in my head.

    1. The Head of the Council is the Captain who calls it. Matters are decided by a plurality of votes, in which the authority of the Captains draws over many to their views; in fact, the usual way of coming to a decision is to say to the Old Men, Do you give advice, you are the Masters.

      chooses made by a group instead of 1 person.

    1. He picks up his Sony Alpha A7 III camera with his remaining equipment and heads off to work. Today’s mission is like every other mission: visiting a neighbourhood East of the central office which is 2 hours away. With his partner, they head off to ‘Cherry Villa’. Normally, Tim would deviate from his main project and go to an area that has something unique to offer but for some reason, his gut was telling him to go to ‘Cherry Villa’. On arrival to this neighbourhood, something was familiar yet odd. Thinking so little of this feeling, Tim brushes it off and decides to go in. Like any other wealthy neighbourhood, this community had a gate code; very fancy. They drive in and park in visitor's parking. It was a beautiful day for a walk and the neighbourhood was perfect for classic photographs. The typical American Dream. As they walk and capture the beauty of the neighbourhood, Tim and Sam felt uncomfortable. It was as if someone was watching our every move. He felt as if someone was making a mental note of who he was and what he was doing. He felt judged for the way he walked, talked, and dressed. It was to the point where he felt as if they knew what he was thinking. With a few more shots needed for the project, they stayed but hurried along. After taking the remaining pictures, they headed back to their car. Where was it though? 

      I was hanging on every word here! Great descriptive language.

    2. A classic lifestyle in the late 1800’s is simply comprised of a small yet cozy cottage amidst the soft green pasture with the wheels of straws resting on the earthen bed. Every morning, the sun would rise and the birds would sing to signal the start of the day. It was simply an old photographic scene of flora and fauna. The day’s events start off with a warm cup of coffee and a hefty breakfast. Followed by feeding his farm animals their daily nutritional meal and cultivating as well as harvesting his crops for his weekly sales. Every Sunday morning around 6am, Tim would go to the local market to sell his products with his fellow friend, Jonathon. This would put a bright white smile on his face as he interacts with his friends and family while providing them with their weekly groceries. In essence, Tim finds a sense of purpose from these early morning Sunday activities. The day would end like every other day. The sun would finally set, spreading its rich blend of orange, red, and purple over the land. He would pack up his things and slowly head home. 

      Great way to start your story. Your description brings it to life.

    1. A youngster who, but a few years ago, believed Cornelius Agrippa as firmly as the gospel, has now set himself at the head of the university;

      Victor's young, self-guided education has had more of an effect on him than he thinks. Studying "trash" as his father deemed Agrippa formed his early years.

    2. My heart palpitated in the sickness of fear;

      Another use of the word "palpitated." There is something of a pulse that beats throughout the story! We are inside Victor's head for sure, but it seems that we are also in his heart, his veins, and his blood. A chilling place to be, in this case!

    1. I was born amid such sights and scenes. To me the American slave-trade is a terrible reality. When a child, my soul was often pierced with a sense of its horrors. I lived on Philpot Street, Fell’s Point, Baltimore, and have watched from the wharves, the slave ships in the Basin, anchored from the shore, with their cargoes of human flesh, waiting for favorable winds to waft them down the Chesapeake. There was, at that time, a grand slave mart kept at the head of Pratt Street, by Austin Woldfolk. His agents were sent into every town and county in Maryland, announcing their arrival, through the papers, and on flaming “hand-bills,” headed CASH FOR NEGROES.

      I cannot believe that he had to go through this as a child. I feel like this could have very damaging effects on children and I am surprised that as an adult he is able to stand up and truly believe in his words when he preaches that this treatment is unacceptable. I think it is surprising he can speak out about it now because he was taught at such a young age about slavery and about how it was normal.

    1. ghomta*

      In his book A Story of Ambivalent Modernization in Bangladesh and West Bengal: the Rise and Fall of Bengali Elitism in South Asia, Pranab Chatterjee difference between a burkha and a ghomta. While both act as a veil, the ghomta covers the head only for Hindu identifying women. More so, the ghomta is an extension of a woman's sari and is used only by upper caste Hindu women in rural areas.

    1. He who consoles the lowly has consoled us through Your Paternity' s letter, in which you promise relief to us,

      This language seems like it is very deep and trying to provoke emotion, but the language is almost too over my head to get a true effect

    2. an old man,—Head servant at the warehouse,—suspected of theft and threatened with Justice, proved to be lost; it was believed that he went to drown him self.

      Suicide just because he didn't want to get caught breaking the law?

    3. He had been commanded to write these extraordinary things which occurred within his soul,—at least, those which he could most easily remember; for they were too frequent, and care for the salvation of his neighbor hardly gave him any leisure to write from time to time.

      It is even more captivating to read the words of this man and get to second hand witness what was going through his head throughout his journey.

    1. A study done by Wann et al. (1998) observed postural sway in children with DCD. Head movement of the subjects was recorded while standing in the eyes open condition and the closed eyes. It was determined that children with DCD exhibited more postural sway compared to their matched controls when their eyes were closed (Greuze, 2003).

    1. And while Uber and Lyft have grabbed headlines for convincing people to abandon transit in big cities like New York and Chicago, the TransitCenter says that the effects of those services are limited to just a few dense, urban places. “The broader issue is clearing space for your transit to get through congestion, and most of that congestion is from private cars, not [ride-hail],” says Ben Fried, the group’s communications head. “Cities need to make transit fast, affordable, convenient." Truly attractive transit has to do that better than private cars.

    1. This article offers insight to technology integration for adults in Arizona. Recognizing the importance of technology in education, Arizona has put together a plan on integration for adult education. Using trends, understanding challenges, devising strategies to meet those challenges now and in the future, and meeting the expectations of how a successful learner is defined are a part of this plan for Arizona. It starts with a vision and three goals for Arizona. From there the goals and trends are implemented in short term, mid term, and long term goals over five plus years. With expecting challenges they are able to address them head on and use innovative practices. 8/10

    1. But far too often, I see tests which are testing implementation details (read this before continuing if you haven't already). When you do this, you introduce a third user. The developer user and the end user are really all that matters for this component. So long as it serves those two, then it has a reason to exist. And when you're maintaining the component you need to keep those two users in mind to make sure that if you break the contract with them, you do something to handle that change.But as soon as you start testing things which your developer user and end user don't know or care about (implementation details), you add a third testing user, you're now having to keep that third user in your head and make sure you account for changes that affect the testing user as well.
    1. Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor. He played a few chords then he sang some more– “I got the Weary Blues And I can’t be satisfied. Got the Weary Blues And can’t be satisfied– I ain’t happy no mo’ And I wish that I had died.” And far into the night he crooned that tune. The stars went out and so did the moon. The singer stopped playing and went to bed While the Weary Blues echoed through his head. He slept like a rock or a man that’s dead.

      This whole poem runs a rhyme scheme, with this stanza really sounding like a song. Each bar has about the same pacing, except the final line, which still rhymes with the bar before it. I found this video of Hughes almost singing it at times:

      The poem/lyrics really work with the music accompanying him. It kind of reminds me of some of the artsier hip-hop artists coming out of Chicago right now.

    1. In Connecticut, Hassan shared a desk with a woman—a girl, really. Later, this would be what he remembered most about the job, long after the inconvenience of his morning commute, the banality of his days spent making spreadsheets, and the mediocrity of the cafeteria had faded from memory. He would remember Hina the way he saw her on her first day. The crunched, focussed expression on her small, sharp face as she claimed her half of the desk, a purse over one arm and a duffelbag over the other, a light sheen of perspiration on her upper lip, a dark-gray head scarf wound tightly around her head and fixed above her right ear with a long, silver pin.

      Sadia introduces both Hina and Hassan's memory of her in the first paragraph. He remembers how she was on the first day even though they have a longer relationship - perhaps because their relationship sours.

      Hina is young, earnest and hardworking. Focused on her work, perspiring and Muslim

    1. Six years later, it’s still fun to make fun of Google Glass

      One could argue that Google Glass was an awkward looking, geeky wear-able technology device, often made fun of, but you can't argue how ahead of its time its development was. It was a future all-in-one wearable eyeglass that many in 2014 weren't, for the most part, culturally ready for. For those who were ready,it was quite an awesome experience of exploring a nascent technology that was capable of recording videos, taking pictures, sending email, answering text messages and providing rapid connectivity to a wide variety of social and wellness Apps. With a choice of three ways, it could deliver your content to just about anywhere in the world, compose a text message, and even answer your phone, all with a tap of your finger, a swipe of your finger on the side of the Glass frame or a voice activated command "OK Glass..." It definitely was an all-in-one mobile device you didn't have to carry around with you in your pocket. When wearing the eye- Glass for the very first time,most would say was one of the very few "Awe" moments you rarely get in life from a tech device! I even coined the phrase- "the information Eye-Way." So many people asked me, "How did you first hear of Google Glass? I answered, it was actually in a YouTube infomercial type of advertisement by Google, soliciting people to enter into a contest called "If I had Glass....." and then composing a Tweet explaining what you would do if you had Glass. Not one person ever asked me about my answer- and for the most part my it was taking a ride in an awesome glass elevator wearing Glass, based upon the book Willy Wonka and the Great Glass Elevator. Sadly, I never got the opportunity to do this. I've moved on since then to explore another eye-wear- immersive 360/ VR but it really still isn't the same at all wearing a clunky headset strapped onto your head. I occasionally reminisce of the good ole days in 2014 and the amazing Google Glass experiment and the Glass community that united people from all over the world! It was indeed a time of excitement, wonder and hope- I guess my Glass was more than half full at that time. The of the best part of being selected, and becoming official Google Glass Explorer was meeting so many fantastic people and the years of frank and sometimes analytical and technical discussions. Google Glass Explorers and community provided hopeful insight and useful information to Glass developers. It's now 2019, and I'm still looking forward to the next iteration of wearable technology beyond VR. Maybe another Glass experiment will never happen again, but luckily I was able to contribute to part of an innovative experiment. Maybe hindsight is 2020 after-all.

    1. Then Frankie pulled back her kimono And she pulled out a small .44 And root-e-toot-toot three times she shot Right through that hardwood door

      This shocked me, what a crime of passion. I honestly didn’t think the story would head this way

    1. Iceberg, the nickname I have chosen for my PhD project, came from the metaphor used in studies of informal and incidental learning to describe the 20/80 ratio between learning in formal settings (e.g. taking courses) and learning informally as part of one's work or other activities (Center for Workforce Development, 1998). The time and effort that goes into building and maintaining our personal networks (Nardi, Whittaker & Schwarz, 2002) is often not recognised or accounted for. Also, in a current business environment knowledge workers are increasingly working with ideas and digital artefacts, rather than physical objects: only the products of knowledge work – reports, designs, plans – remain visible, while the process of creating them is not (Drucker, 1999; McGee, 2002). And in many cases even these products are digital, locked on personal hard drives or in e-mail folders, so others hardly ever see the history of a constructive process. Much of the work of finding, interpreting and connecting relevant pieces of information, negotiating meanings and eliciting knowledge in conversations with others, creating new ideas and using them to come up with a final product, happens in the head of a knowledge worker or as part of communication or as an integral part of other work.

      The invisibility of knowledge work because while the fruits of it (documents, reports, design) are revealed, the process is not. Much of that work is obscured.

    1. "head turn"

      I wonder what other ways there are to test infants' knowledge of different words, besides head turns. Would there be a way to use looking time? Perhaps if a video of the same persons saying different words "kixm/qixm", infants might look longer than if they said the same word.

    1. The evening meal at the house is over, and Aunt Chloe, who presided over its preparation as head cook, has left to inferior officers in the kitchen the business of clearing away and washing dishes, and come out into her own snug territories, to “get her ole man’s supper”; therefore, doubt not that it is her you see by the fire, presiding with anxious interest over certain frizzling items in a stew-pan, and anon with grave consideration lifting the cover of a bake-kettle, from whence steam forth indubitable intimations of “something good.”

      Perhaps Stowe was establishing the idea of domesticity here.

    1. In 1979, Russell Noftsker, being convinced that Lisp machines had a bright commercial future due to the strength of the Lisp language and the enabling factor of hardware acceleration, proposed to Greenblatt that they commercialize the technology.[citation needed] In a counter-intuitive move for an AI Lab hacker, Greenblatt acquiesced, hoping perhaps that he could recreate the informal and productive atmosphere of the Lab in a real business. These ideas and goals were considerably different from those of Noftsker. The two negotiated at length, but neither would compromise. As the proposed firm could succeed only with the full and undivided assistance of the AI Lab hackers as a group, Noftsker and Greenblatt decided that the fate of the enterprise was up to them, and so the choice should be left to the hackers. The ensuing discussions of the choice divided the lab into two factions. In February 1979, matters came to a head. The hackers sided with Noftsker, believing that a commercial venture fund-backed firm had a better chance of surviving and commercializing Lisp machines than Greenblatt's proposed self-sustaining start-up. Greenblatt lost the battle.

      Here Washington refers to a task set for him by the head teacher at Hampton Institute, sweeping the recitation room.

      He knew the task was extremely important which is why he made an effort to do the job to the best of his ability and to impress the head teacher.

    1. I don't have anything to add other than "extract_css" in webpacker.yml has been a source of confusion for me as well. When it is "extract_css: false" in development and production, a stylesheet IS included in the document head (shouldn't this be "extract_css: true"?). And when I use "extract_css: true", styles are not included in the document.

But Trump's signing of the bill was partially overshadowed by environmentalist groups angered that his proposed federal budget cuts funding by 31 percent for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA. His proposed budget also reduces funding for the U.S. Department of the Interior by 14 percent and completely eliminates a $7,500 tax credit given to owners of electric vehicles. Additionally, the president named a former coal lobbyist, Andrew Wheeler, as head of the EPA.

    1. Mrs. Shelby, being entirely ignorant of her husband’s embarrassments, and knowing only the general kindliness of his temper, had been quite sincere in the entire incredulity with which she had met Eliza’s suspicions. In fact, she dismissed the matter from her mind, without a second thought; and being occupied in preparations for an evening visit, it passed out of her thoughts entirely.

      Mrs. Shelby doesn't believe that her husband wants to sell the boy, matter of fact she pushes all of these thoughts out of her head.

    1. 3. Letter Regarding the Northwest College Personnel Association Student Relocation Committee

      This is a remarkable letter from the Dean's office assigning responsibility to a young professor at OSU to head a committee to oversee the relocation of Axis-related college students in the Pacific Northwest and listing institutions that might accept Japanese American college students. Although Italian and German students are named, only the Nisei relocation is "imminent" (and, presumably, the only one that actually occurred). I wonder how the tuition arrangements were to be made, particularly for those who had scholarships, or were paying state school tuition but were being transferred to a private college?

    1. HOW 7 ELEVEN IS RIPPING OFF ITS WORKERS The lot of the average 7-Eleven worker in Australia is as simple as it is bleak: you get paid half the $24.50 an hour award rate - or less - and if you complain your boss threatens you with deportation. It’s highly illegal and goes against the Australian tenet of giving people living in this country a “fair go”. A joint investigation into 7-Eleven stores by Four Corners and Fairfax Media has found systemic underpayment of wages and the doctoring of payroll records within the country’s biggest convenience store chain. Politicians, lawyers and regulators all say something should be done to help these exploited and intimidated workers who are often are international students. Doctored time sheets and rosters, store financials with possibly understated wage bills, store reviews and explosive documents relating to payroll compliance from head office are further evidence that something is deeply rotten within the 7-Eleven Australia empire. Within days of the scandal breaking, the company is in crisis and has announced a “independent review” of wages and offered to buy out franchisees.

The #1 market in the world for Slurpee® sales is Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, followed by the greater Detroit, Michigan, area. When 7‑Eleven® started selling Slurpee® drinks they were called Icees. The 7-Eleven story in years 1927 The World's First To make life a little easier on his customers, “Uncle Johnny” Jefferson Green has the bright idea to start selling everyday staples from the dock of a local icehouse in Dallas, Texas. The world’s first convenience store is born. 1933 Drinks for Everyone Prohibition is repealed and the ice docks start selling beer and liquor, which dramatically impacts store growth. 1937 The Idea Spreads Southland Ice Company President and Founder Joe C. Thompson Jr. takes Uncle Johnny’s idea to other local ice docks. Within a decade, locations selling the new product line triple in numbers. The new “convenience stops” are called Tote’m Stores 1946 A New Name The name changes from Tote’m Stores to 7-Eleven to reflect the new extended hours – 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. 1950s Beyond Texas The one-stop shopping locations offer everything consumers need, including gas. New stores open in Florida, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. 1963 Driving in Cars More and more people now own cars, which means the need for convenience is on the rise. 7-Eleven opens the 1,000th store – and counting. 1963 All Night Long A 7-Eleven location near a university in Austin stays open all night to accommodate students. The 24/7 idea is a hit and soon catches on in other locations. 1964 Franchise This 7-Eleven enters the franchising business with the purchase of several Speedee Mart franchises in California. 1965 The Drink Revolution It starts with the launch of the Slurpee® drink and the world’s first coffee to go. 1969 Crossing Borders 7-Eleven goes international and opens locations in Canada, bumping up the number of stores to 3,500. 1970s The Self-Service Movement 7-Eleven leads the way, offering self-serve gas and the first self-serve soda fountain. Americans are also introduced to the Big Gulp® fountain drink. 1980s World Traveler 7-Eleven continues opening new international locations, including stores in Australia, Sweden, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Guam, Malaysia and the Philippines. 1990s Getting Healthy 7-Eleven starts shipping fresh food products daily to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. Present No Signs of Stopping With 60,000 stores – and counting – located around the globe, we’re more determined than ever to continue innovating and delivering “what the customers want, when and where they want it.” Our leadership Demonstrating customer obsession to provide 21st century convenience.

    1. Consider the facultative production of a head spine inDaphniain response to chemicals emitted by predators (kairomones).Suppose theDaphniapopulation consists of three genotypes: genotype1 constitutively produces short spines (G1fixed 200μm spines legendFigure 1), genotype 2 constitutively produces long spines (G2fixed800μm spines legend Figure 1) and genotype 3 produces a short spine(200μm spines) in the absence of predator cues, but a long spine(800μm spines) in their presence (thus, G3 has plastic spine lengthchanging from 200 to 800μm between environments, legendFigure 1). In an environment with no predators, genotype 1 hashigherfitness than genotype 2; genotype 2 has incurred aphenotypecost(Figure 1), a situation reversed if predators were present. Thus,phenotype costs are genotype specific and environment dependent,that is, they are local costs. In each environment, we can evaluate thecosts andfitness benefits of a particular phenotype in comparison tothose of alternative phenotypes. Aplasticity costensues in this examplewhen two genotypes produce the same phenotype (for example, longspines 800μm; Figure 1), but the more plastic genotype 3 has reducedfitness compared with the non-plastic long-spined genotype 2

      This is an excellent example that really helped me understand the difference between a "cost of plasticity" vs a "cost of phenotype". When looking into this it explains that the least beneficial phenotype (short spines in high pred. environment) clearly has the greater cost of phenotype. What helped me understand "cost of plasticity" explained that G2 (long spines) was more beneficial to the plastic genotype (G3 long spines w pred. short with abs of pred.) This would therefore mean that G3 had a cost of phenotype when in an environment with pred. present. I thought that this was a key idea in understanding the limits of plasticity.

    1. Mr Chang admitted his company had paid flat hourly rates as low as $13 an hour. 7-Eleven investigation 7-Eleven playing 'statistical tricks' in worker compensation scheme'He made me scared': 7-Eleven worker speaks of intimidationExploitation integral to 7-Eleven business model: insider7-Eleven staff work twice as long at half pay rate7-Eleven business model rips off workers, former ACCC boss saysConvenience store empire 'built on something not much different from slavery' This resulted in significant underpayment of the minimum hourly rate, casual loadings and penalty rates for shift and weekend work that employees were owed under the General Retail Award 2010.Judge Michael Jarrett found Mr Chang knew the relevant Award that applied but had "established a business model that relied upon a deliberate disregard of the employees' workplace entitlements and a course of conduct designed to conceal that deliberate disregard".Judge Jarrett found no evidence the company's contraventions were motivated by poor cash flow.He said "rather, it seems, the company's profit has been enhanced by the underpayments concerned".The FWO confirmed all underpayments had been rectified."Businesses should be in no doubt that lawful obligations to pay minimum wage rates, keep appropriate employment records and issue pay slips apply to all employers in Australia and they are not negotiable," Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said."The deliberate nature of the underpayments and the lengths that Mr Chang went to in order to hide his conduct from us and from the 7-Eleven head office is of grave concern."Mr Chang was fully aware of his lawful obligations and chose to manipulate the system in order to undercut the entitlements of vulnerable workers. "We are pleased that the court has seen fit to penalise such blatant conduct and hope that this serves as a warning that such behaviour will be penalised."Mr Chang and his company sold the 7-Eleven franchise in late-2016 and the franchise is now operated by an entity unrelated to these contraventions.The FWO said it had taken legal action against nine 7-Eleven operators since 2009, and that cases against three operators were still before the courts.7-Eleven's Australian head office has since commented on the court decision."7-Eleven welcomes the Fair Work Ombudsman's actions pursuing these wage underpayment claims dating back to 2013-14," a company spokesperson said."The Franchisee concerned is no longer part of our store network."We have introduced comprehensive reforms to ensure our Franchised store network operates at the highest standards we expect, and will take action where those standards are not being met."
    1. The penalties are the result of a legal action by the Fair Work Ombudsman after its investigation found that 21 employees across the two stores had been underpaid a total of $31,507.27 over a 12-month period. Viplus Pty Ltd, which operated a store in Adelaide Street until July 2017, was penalised $88,140, while Vipper Pty Ltd, which operated a store in George Street until May 2017, was penalised $68,262. Penalties totalling $36,559 were also handed down against Jason Yuan, a director of both companies. The stores were two of 20 7-Eleven outlets targeted for surprise night-time visits by the Fair Work Ombudsman as part of a tri-State operation in September 2014. The Fair Work Ombudsman has taken legal action against 11 7-Eleven operators since 2009. In this matter, inspectors found that the workers at both stores were paid flat rates for all hours worked, save for public holidays where they received an additional $20 per hour in cash.  Given the 24 hour, seven-day nature of the businesses, this resulted in significant underpayments of Saturday and public holiday penalty rates, overtime rates and shift work rates stipulated by the General Retail Industry Award 2010. Two workers at the Adelaide Street store were also found to have been paid at the incorrect classification. Individual underpayments ranged from $98.36 to $5080.16. They have all now been rectified The respondents were also penalised for failing to meet record-keeping and payslip requirements, including by failing to include information in respect of cash payments made to some of the employees. In her judgment, Judge Mercuri noted that the underpayments were “substantial”, particularly given the low-skilled nature of the work and the vulnerability of the workers due to their age and, in some cases, their visa status. “Given that many of the employees of both Viplus and Vipper were in Australia on various visas, with many being young workers, the impact of the underpayments was significant for each of the affected employees,” Judge Mercuri said. In determining the penalties, Judge Mercuri also pointed out that Mr Yuan had been running the stores for over twelve years, had a background in finance, banking and project management and had access to significant training and support from the 7‑Eleven head office. In addition, her Honour noted the Fair Work Ombudsman had previously issued Vipper and Mr Yuan with a letter of caution in 2013 after an investigation found that workers at the Adelaide Street store were not being paid applicable weekend and public holiday penalty rates. At the time, the Fair Work Ombudsman advised Mr Yuan about his obligations to pay penalty rates as stipulated under the Award. Judge Mercuri found this “continued failure to ensure compliance with the Award following the issuing of a letter of caution to Vipper Pty Ltd” to be a relevant factor in determining the penalties for Vipper and Mr Yuan. Acting Fair Work Ombudsman Kristen Hannah says that the regulator takes a particularly dim view of employers who continue to breach workplace laws after being explicitly advised of their obligations. “Employers must recognise that significant consequences will follow when they knowingly flout the law,” Ms Hannah says. “There is no excuse for continued non-compliance by a business when it has been placed on notice and we will not hesitate to pursue serious enforcement action when this occurs. “We have no patience for business operators who fail to respect the law and ignore our advice, and the penalties handed down in this case reflect the seriousness with which such matters will be dealt.” Ms Hannah says that the Fair Work Ombudsman takes the exploitation of young workers and visa holders particularly seriously. “We know that these cohorts face specific vulnerabilities in the workplace due to a lack of awareness of workplace laws and a reluctance to speak up if something is wrong,” Ms Hannah says. “There is no place for the deliberate exploitation of vulnerable workers in Australian workplaces.” Ms Hannah says the commencement of the Fair Work Amendment (Protecting Vulnerable Workers) Act 2017 has increased the maximum penalties for employers who knowingly exploit workers. “Businesses should be aware that serious breaches of workplace laws have increased ten-fold and can now attract penalties of up to $630,000 per contravention for companies and $126,000 for an individual,” Ms Hannah says. 7-Eleven entered into a Proactive Compliance Deed with the Fair Work Ombudsman in late 2016, committing to a range of measures designed to ensure all its workers receive their lawful entitlements through strong accountability for all operators across its franchise network and supervision by the Fair Work Ombudsman.

    1. exactly like the stoves in Elevated stations

      The "Elevated" is short for the elevated railroad (sometimes called "the El") which used to run over the Bowery.

      In other words, the stove is just like those that provide head in a subway station. Therefore, probably a cheap, standard kind of stove.

    1. It is hardly coincidental that this nation’s first experiment in (wealthy, white male) democracy emerged alongside the first experiment with black enslavement (and Native assimilation), that the history of African America and American democracy are both rooted in 1619. It is hardly coincidental that both 400-year anniversaries are being marked this year, that John’s freedom begot Angela’s enslavement, that John climbed his elevated whiteness onto the head of Angela’s lowered blackness.

      What do we do with these inseparable histories? When we learn about Jamestown, about the early colonial period, are these histories connected?

    1. But that’s mostly because these countries have offshored their emissions: much of their stuff is now made in Asia.

      This is true to some extent. According to the Office of Climate Statistics, UK emissions peaked in 1972 but when you take into account imported emissions then UK emissions peaked in 2007. This is because the UK has transitioned from a manufacturing based economy to a services based economy, such as finance, professional services, and information and communication technology.

      This is following the Kuznets curve - a theory that increases in GDP result in increased greenhouse emissions but then after a turning point, as an economy transitions to service-based industries the environmental damage gradually falls.

      The EKC depicted in Figure 1 highlights the scale effect, which is the initial transition of the economy from agricultural production in rural areas to industrial production in urban areas. As industrial production intensifies, more energy is used, resulting in increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through combustion. However, as the economy develops, there will be a structural change from manufacturing and industrial production to service-based industries. Higher economic development leads to better technology, environmental awareness and enforcement of environmental regulations resulting in the gradual decline of environmental degradation.

      This is low emission, but means we import more goods from abroad with our earnings. The UK is the top emitter of CO2 in its imports in the countries they looked at, above even the US.

      However our own manufacturing sector and our energy production sector are also following that curve, Even when you take account of the emissions associated with imported goods we have had a reduction since 2007.

      Many of our imports are from China which is a large per capita net exporter of CO2 emissions locked into the goods it exports, and the world as a whole is still on its way up in the Kuznets curve. But as China transitions to renewables that part of our imports will also peak.

      The UK's peak seems to have been around 1985

      For the UK, the approximate turning point at which the decoupling of GDP per head and carbon dioxide emissions seemed to have happened was in 1985, with a GDP per head of £16,667 and corresponding CO2 emissions of around 586 million tonnes.

      In the world as a whole we are still on the way up in the Kuznets curve

      While the UK economy is a good example of Environmental Kuznets Curve theory and has shown signs of absolute decoupling following 1985, Figure 13 demonstrates that this has not been the case when looking at the same comparison globally. There is still a strong coupling between carbon dioxide emissions and real GDP per head.

      This can't be turned around globally through transition to services as we still need to manufacture goods so it has to be done by technological change (e.g. transition to renewables) or environmental policies.

      They comment that

      At a global level, a structural change such as the one witnessed in the UK is unlikely because of the global demand for manufactured goods, therefore any potential global decoupling must be achieved through other factors such as technological change or environmental policies.

      The Committee for Climate Change in their plan for zero emissions for the UK for 2050 is well aware of this and they say that it should not be done by offshoring emissions. For instance on electricity:

      Our analysis assumes that the UK imports no more electricity than it exports in the future, to offset the risk of importing higher carbon power. Interconnection would still be valuable as a source of flexibility - importing at times of need and exporting at times of surplus.

      With respect to emissions accounting, the group agreed that is important to monitor both the UK’s territorial emissions and the emissions associated with the goods and services consumed by the UK (consumption emissions). As Defra’s annual indicator shows, the UK’s consumption emissions are significantly higher than our territorial emissions, though they have also fallen significantly in the last decade

      They talk about the importance of working on this together, for instance with imported biofuel.

      If the biomass fuel used in UK BECCS plants is imported, there will need to be international agreements about the attribution of such negative emissions – and the extent to which they could be wholly claimed by the UK.

      The Paris agreement is based on counting the emissions generated in the country that manufactures the goods - it has to be done this way because otherwise the emissions would be double counted and countries would be responsible for emissions that are not under their control.

      The other side of this for industrialized countries is that they need to invest in the Green Climate Fund which is still under funded which helps the developing countries to achieve their climate goals. Most of them have two goals, the most ambitious they can manage by themselves without help and a more ambitious target that they can achieve with help from the Green Climate Fund.

      This is one of the most cost effective ways the developing countries can reduce emissions - by contributing to this fund to reduce emissions in developing countries where the money goes further than in developed countries. They can also help them adapt to the changes. That also directly benefits the industrialized countries. For instance if Bangladesh is better adapted to sea and river flooding, it can feed its population more easily, becomes a vigorous economy with exports, and there is much less risk of migration in the future. This is a win for everyone.

    1. Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.                   Shantih     shantih     shantih

      Here the finals lines of the poem are thought to be taken from the Brihadaranyak Upnishad, and they respectively translate to "Give. Be Compassionate. Control" and "Peace Peace Peace". The repetition of the lines operates like the booming of thunder in the sky, and it seems as if the thunder, the heavens themselves, are speaking these lines to the reader. It is a chance for change, for progression, and for rebirth. Yet, it also instills connotations of an impending fate that will come upon humanity if they do not follow these instructions. In a similar sense it is reminiscent of Philip Levine's "They Feed They Lion" because of the sense of repetition and the forewarning it offers in it. Recall the lines: "Out of burlap sacks, out of bearing butter, Out of black bean and wet slate bread, Out of the acids of rage, the candor of tar, Out of creosote, gasoline, drive shafts, wooden dollies, They Lion grow." The ebb and flood of the meter makes it seem as if some unimaginable force is drawing nearer and nearer. Similar to the Spiritus Mundi in Yeats' "The Second Coming" that marches through the desert signaling the start of another cycle through the ending of this our own. In particular the lines that read, "A shape with lion body and the head of a man, /<br> A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun[...] / And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, /<br> Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" Just as the lion slowly approaches in both of the aforementioned poems I feel as if these word indicate the coming of some unforeseen consequence of mankind.

    2. A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,

      I immediately got the image in my head of a dead tree. No leaves or anything like that sitting in the middle of a wasteland. This is one of the first images that came to mind. You can interpret the dead tree creeping over everything as smog covering the sky, with only bit's of sunshine breaking through. It gives a depressing feeling, a place where you never get to see the sun.

    3. Here is no water but only rock Rock and no water and the sandy road The road winding above among the mountains Which are mountains of rock without water If there were water we should stop and drink Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think

      Re-reading this tonight I thought of the riots happening in Chile right now. The privatization of water also comes to mind, literally water is not deemed as an "essential human right"... and here it's marketed like designer clothing ... okay guys i think we might be in the wasteland ... Anyway the riots are definitely charged by a lot of factors (including water privatization) but the riots came to a head over the METRO fees being raised, some photos of the metro stations in Chile after the protests look like a wasteland in the metro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8acIrtYbb-c

    4.   Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante, Had a bad cold, nevertheless Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe, With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she, Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor

      I remember this image feeling very mystic when I first saw it because of how the loops extend from the head. This lithograph by Odilon Redon, Oannès: Moi, la première conscience de chaos (translation from French: I, the First Consciousness of Chaos), is in black and white, which gives the image an ominous aura about it. The figure looks like a spooky clairvoyant to me, with the eyes closed it’s like the figure is doing a reading. The figure is surrounded by a dark void, and on the area of the figure's shoulders, the round objects look like eyeballs. The eyeballs are what sees the "wicked pack of cards".

    1. Is anyone aware of a lua http lib that supports keepalive?

      When sending a request you can pass the following keepalive settings which will keep the connection open:

      local http = require "resty.http"
      local httpc = http.new()
      httpc:connect("127.0.0.1", 9081)
      local response, err = httpc:request({
        path = "/proxy" .. ngx.var.request_uri, 
        method = "HEAD",
        headers = ngx.req.get_headers(),
        keepalive_timeout = 60,
        keepalive_pool = 10,
      })
      
    1. "Don't bump your head," said Jack, and stepped before to open the door leading into her apartment,—an unfinished chamber over the kitchen, the roof slanting nearly to the floor, so that the bed could stand only in the middle of the room. A small half window furnished light and air. Jack returned to the sitting room with the remark that the child would soon outgrow those quarters.

      This reminds me of when Harriet Jacobs was hiding out in the attic of her house where there was very little space for her to even move around or stretch.

    2. Her anxiety increased; her countenance bore marks of solicitude unseen before; and though she said nothing of her inward contest, they all observed a change.

      Change can be good and bad but in this situation i can only imagine it be bad because of the tragedy’s and hurt she has been put through . Not even just that anxiety is it’s own stress alone so she was going through it just to keep her head above water

    1. But though he was so extremely cautious in such matters and on his guard, still he could not escape the censures of his enemies on this head, but was accused of illicit relations with married women, to gratify whom, it was said, he neglected and betrayed many public interests.

      Did Pompey avoid love because he did not want to be a bad general or because he didn't want to gain enemies?

      Analytic Note (Source 1): This source documents the perspective of the water utility in terms of the boycott payment and collective action instances against the water utility. It is a published account (inside of the state level registrar) of the minutes of a water utility board of directors meeting where discussions are being held over how to react to these instances of collective action. I provide this source as evidence that the water utility functionaries saw the instances of collective action as led by opposition party leaders rather than autonomously organized by civil society members. While I am unable to determine which side organized the protests, I believe that they were at least partially organized by PRI and PRD leaders to create problems for the first ever PAN administration.

      Analytic Note (Source 2): This newspaper article reports on a clear instance of a PRI politician using the water prices conflict as a referendum against the PAN administration.

      Excerpt (Source 2): Como partido vamos a convocar a toda la ciudadania, la todas los organizaciones sociales, si se decide no dar marcha atras, a realizar un referendum para preguntarle a la gente si esta de acuerdo en pagar las nuevas cutoas y si estan de acuerdo como gobierno Duran, afirmo Antonio Lara, regidor del PRI, y titular de la Comision Hidraulica en el Congreso.

      Translation (Source 2): As a party we are going to gather the citizenry, all of the social organizations, if [the PAN] refuses to not backtrack [or concede to lowering prices], to conduct a referendum asking the people if they are consenting to pay the new tariffs and if they are in [favor] of the government of [PAN mayor] Duran," affirmed Antonio Lara, PRI city council person and head of the [state] congressional hydraulic commission.

    1. being marketed

      I would go further and say that this marketing is often predatory. Publishers will market directly to the most powerful, least knowledgeable people at an institution. They work purposely around (or over the head of) folks in charge of OER initiatives, digital pedagogy, or centers for teaching and learning. This isn't to say there is no good will at all among massive corporate publishers, just that those companies are often so large that individuals operate in good faith, even as the institution as a whole moves in problematic or unethical directions. Ultimately, profit motives frustrate necessary internal conversation and thoughtful engagement with institutions.

    1. At age 5 she was forced to murder a traitor whom of which she had pointed out to her father. After gathering all the information that proved him guilty of treason to her father’s business that’s when he decided she was ready to pursue her role in the “family business”.

      due to her being as smart as she is, her father obviously took advantage of her intelligance and ruined her life. in her head she just wanted to please her father so he wouldnt be disappointed

    1. Sitting down, the father shook his head, saying: “I came to America to become a rich man so that I could go back to the village in Japan and be somebody. I was greedy and ambitious and proud. I was not a good man or an intelligent one, but a young fool. And you have paid for it.”

      The US did a good job of marketing that the country was a land of opportunity. However, many Japaneese were blindsided when making the move.

    1. history

      History is used here to allude to his recalling of memories as his head is shot. The bullet goes through his head and while doing so, acts as the base for a timeline that opens all of his memories. This word also help to explain the time line since he is going through his memories from start to finish in the timeline. Moreover, memory is the analysis of a person's history.

    1. it is the consensus that gives them true power

      Consensus to me means the words, emotions, memories, ideas, opinions that people have in their head when using certain words

    1. I thought back to how my parents wouldn't want me putting my life in danger for something that was in the past, and something that is true to history. I know they wouldn't want me to go down like this, and I even thought about my grandparents and the hit on my head by the guy who was after me.

      I wanted my character to reflect on his past, and remember what his parents would want him to do, and what he has done to his family, he didn't want to go down that road anymore.

    1. Finally, on June 27, 1997, I went out to inspect the little town within my city and maybe get some coffee. I spot a nearby coffee shop and decide to get me a nice dark roast. I enter the little mom and pop shop and I see something that gives me a roller coaster of thoughts and emotions. Should I be mad? Confused? I was not sure how to react. I saw a white man with his arm around a black woman. I first wiped my eyes to confirm what I was seeing. I was confused at first, then got a rush of disappointment within my own race. I could not help but speak up for what I believed in and try to talk some sense into this man. I tapped him on the shoulder and told him “Sir, how could you possibly have so little respect for yourself to date a woman of color, they do not deserve to be held up to the same standards as us whites.” The black woman immediately started crying and the man threatened to hurt me if I did not leave the coffee shop. I’m not one to spark a violent interaction so I proceeded to leave but shouted racial slurs at the woman as I left. Everyone that witnessed looked at me in the most disgusting way ever. One even called me a pig. On the drive home I thought more and more about the woman crying because of what I have done. It is basically as if I had harmed her physically. It was engraved in my head.

      This section of my essay was meant to be the peak of my main character's hate lifestyle. I had my character target a specific race and attack them for being around whites. I connected this back to an article by NPR News where they analyzed a story about a man who drove eleven hours to an El Paso shopping center to create a massacre of Hispanics. This shocked the entire country and crippled the state.

    1. And when this creature was thus graciously come again to her mind, she thought she was bound to God and that she would be his servant. Nevertheless, she would not leave her pride nor her pompous array that she had used beforetime, neither for her husband nor for none other man’s counsel. And yet she wist full well that men said her full much villainy, for she wore gold pipes on her head and her hoods with the tippets were dagged. Her cloaks also were dagged and laid with divers colors between the dags that it should be the more staring to men’s sight and herself the more worshiped. And when her husband would speak to her for to leave her pride she answered shrewdly and shortly and said that she was come of worthy kindred – him seemed never for to ‘a wedded her – for her father was sometime mayor of the town N and sithen he was alderman of the high Gild of the Trinity in N. And therefore she would save the worship of her kindred whatsoever any man said. She had full great envy at her neighbors that they should be arrayed as well as she. All her desire was for to be worshiped of the people. She would not beware by one’s chastening nor be content with the good that God had sent her, as her husband was, but ever desired more and more.

      why is this font different from the rest? but its pretty sad that she seeks approval especially my a man. I am so happy I am not like that

    1. The first question that presents itself on the subject is, whether a confederated government be the best for the United States or not? Or in other words, whether the thirteen United States should be reduced to one great republic, governed by one legislature, and under the direction of one executive and judicial; or whether they should continue thirteen confederated republics, under the direction and controul of a supreme federal head for certain defined national purposes only?

      I wonder what North America would look like if we had never united, and existed as independent states completely separate from each other? Maybe somehow we would have less problems and progress could be made more quickly because there would be less people who would have to come to a consensus? At the same time, I wonder if we would have less widespread social progress and less of a democracy because sometimes these types of progress are made when states put pressure on each other (for example when same sex marriage was legalized throughout America before some states hadn't).

      Analytic Note: This opinion piece by leading moderate Eduardo Jorge is an example of the return to viability logic in the aftermath of the success of the Plano Real and the popularity of the Cardoso government. (In the broader piece, not just the excerpt above) Jorge argues that the PT could have demolished the Brazilian right completely by making an electoral pact with the PSDB, that the failure of the PT (and left in general) to be willing to share power and make programmatic concessions has been one of the party’s greatest weaknesses, that the radical takeover of the party has prevented program from occurring and the promise of the 1st Congress from being realized, and that if the PT is ever to win power it will have to become much more pragmatic and flexible.

      Translation: The PT is facing a problem that will continue, if not unveiled and confronted to the end, confining ourselves to being an important and representative party, but one incapable of sharing hegemony and governing under democracy. I refer to the ideology, the rule, the traditional culture in parties of the left, which means seeking at any cost, by any means, violent or peaceful, a hegemony that is total, and therefore, totalitarian. According to this mentality, all sectors from the scout association to the national football team, the unions to the Parliament, must be illuminated by our 'light', omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. It is true that the PT has been fighting it since its birth and in its 1st Congress in 1991, approved by 70% to 30% of the votes of the delegates, rejected the dictatorship of the proletariat, the extreme law of authoritarianism on the left. But the tradition is strong, and refuses to die, finding ways to return and subjugate our socialist consciousness. That’s what happened in 1993 and 94, with the base and the head of the party motivated with the early successes of Lula's candidacy, with the chance of a solo victory or one together with disrespected allies or those that would be submissive. It is this attitude that must be left behind.”

    1. Was it for this, that freedom's fires Were kindled by your patriot sires? Was it for this, they shed their blood, On hill and plain, on field and flood? Was it for this, that wealth and life Were staked upon that desperate strife, Which drenched this land for seven long years With blood of men, and women's tears?

      At this point im starting to thing this is about the civil war and the man is asking is this what we are doing all this for ? is it worth the pain and sufferage with all the men dying and the women crying because they no longer have there husbands , or fathers for there children. how will they survive without the head of the house hold.

    1. Those are pearls that were his eyes. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?”                                                                            But O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag—

      Isn't this a line from The Tempest? I think is it because a couple of lines later Shakespeare is mentioned.

    1. MANY congratulations! Your literary work is way over my head, so I can't comment on how well deserved it is on a purely literary basis; but I can't think of anyone who has done for the humanities more generally, or who is more richly deserving of the award.

    1. Throughout human history, men have occupied the highest echelons of political power in governments around the world. In recent modern elections, people are more likely than ever before to vote for a woman for highest political offices [1]. Yet from 1960-2002, only 44 women have held their country’s highest political office and only 17 of these women served as their nation’s President [2]. In 2006, women served as the head of government in only seven countries [3].

      men have mostly always been the highest leading roles in politics, but in more modern times, that is changing. although it's changing, there's still issues with misrepresentation amongst women.

    1. Historical research has shown that the idea of "race" has always carried more meanings than mere physical differences;

      I believe the idea of "race" is purely just physical appearance and nothing more. For example, if an individual was a red head we would automatically classify her as "white" since it's nearly impossible for asians, hispanics and blacks to develop red hair.

      The actual contents and the book itself is up to interpretation. is it simply truly an oral history, and not an actual book? Or is it a book that he simply memorizes in his head due to being poor? Or is it a book that only has dialogue in it?

    1. By the 1910s, the medical routine had changed. The importance of phys-ical indicators of mental illness in alignment with the abovementioned new approach in psychiatry affected the daily visits in Toptaşı Asylum. This system was significantly different from the one applied in Süleymaniye Asylum and during the earlier years at Toptaşı Asylum. For instance, the daily medical visits were no longer public. What replaced them were more individualistic; they were done at the patient’s bedside. The responses of the patient were no longer the primary means of diagnosis; physical indicators and other factors replaced them. Everything was “objectively” recorded, and hung on the patient’s head plate (see Figure 7). The medical staff worked independently, but hierarchically, reporting within a complex but regulated organizational chart. Assistant physi-cians prepared the patients for the physicians, a practice that prevailed for many decades to come, particularly in university hospitals. There was also a pharma-cist assigned to each section, who would be present at the time of the visit, record the prescription in a notebook, and have the physician approve the medication.

      What was the impact of these changes?

    1. gene–culture co-evolution

      Sometimes called dual-inheritance evolution. Basically, this theory applies to human behavior in culture. It states that the genomics of a population can be dependent on cultural biases rather than strict evolutionary behaviors. For example: If being a green-eyed red-head became the most prized possession of traits (though both are the rarest) then over time, cultural breeding for these traits will shift our gene pool in their favor.

So coming to the conclusion that men are being said to be smart or brilliant while women are being sad to be sweet and warm or cold is mind blowing for me. It's odd that there is a difference between men and women who are doing the same job.

    1. you

      Wow! Just wow! Is all I can say. If you do not understand this poem, or nothing about it resonates with you, allow me to translate. Imagine: it’s 3am, and you hear the loud crash of someone who has broken into your home. There is more than one of them, they are coming through doors, windows, sky-lights. They are bearing guns, batons, stones, chains. They snatch you and your family out of bed and force you outside. You look up and down your street and see all your neighbors outside, screaming, crying. Children in one section, mothers in another, and fathers in another. They separate you and your family in the same fashion. They force the fathers to watch as they violate their wives and daughters. They say to sons, “Your father cannot protect you, he can’t protect your women, he can’t even protect himself!” Then, when they are done violating, killing, and battering the many people in your neighborhood, when they feel they have “made their point”—whatever point that is—they ship you all off in separate directions. They don’t care where you go, or what happens. They don’t care if you die, but you are worth more alive—so they won’t kill ALL of you. That’s bad for business. They take you to a new place, where you do not know anyone. You are a million miles from home, from family. You do not understand this new tongue. You are stripped naked and inspected (from head to toe) by other human beings, just like you, but a different shade. And you are given a price tag. You are bought and sold and bought again. You are forced to work tirelessly, until you physically can’t—you are at their service, whatever service they require. Where is your voice? Imagine, after all this, after a few decades, they release you in the middle of nowhere. They release you into a society that is not your own, and tell you to go back to where you came from, as if that were even an option. That place is not the same home you left. The people are different, your home is not there, you wouldn’t even know where to go if you could. You have been uprooted, assaulted, shipped off, sold, insulted, degraded, and nearly-broken. Are you still with me? All this, and those who did this to you, play the victim—as if it hurt them to starve, rape, whip, work, shoot...I mean lynch your families. They play stupid, like they don’t know what you’re talking about, like what you went through, was simply a bad dream, or a horror film played for Halloween. Now, imagine those few decades were 400 years. How would you feel?

    1. for Walt Whitman

      It's interesting that Xavier writes to Walt Whitman. It makes sense the further down you read, and from my understanding I think that Whitman who emphasized an escape to the natural world would be appalled at the lack of progress in America in a human sense. He would shake his head at the urbanization and the debri and the pretentiousness that covers up anything taboo, but be glad to see that things have at least changed to allow blacks to vote and hold great power, that there is still beauty in life.

    1.   I WAS born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away. My father was a carpenter, and considered so intelligent and skilful in his trade, that, when buildings out of the common line were to be erected, he was sent for from long distances, to be head workman.

      This part of the story represents slavery in ways of showing how they felt how their childhood was ended by slavery, and knew when it started. Also this is different from other slave novels by it explaining what African Americans did, and their jobs they held.

My father was a carpenter, and considered so intelligent and skilful in his trade, that, when buildings out of the common line were to be erected, he was sent for from long distances, to be head workman. On condition of paying his mistress two hundred dollars a year, and supporting himself, he was allowed to work at his trade, and manage his own affairs. His strongest wish was to purchase his children; but, though he several times offered his hard earnings for that purpose, he never succeeded. In complexion my parents were a light shade of brownish yellow, and were termed mulattoes. They lived together in a comfortable home; and, though we were all slaves, I was so fondly shielded that I never dreamed I was a piece Page 12 of merchandise, trusted to them for safe keeping, and liable to be demanded of them at any moment.

      This in the beginning validated my theory that racism is taught and learned. Young children don't worry about the color of their skin as long as they are growing up in stable and loving environment

    3.     I WAS born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away.

I had one brother, William, who was two years younger than myself—a bright, affectionate child. I had also a great treasure in my maternal grandmother, who was a remarkable woman in many respects. She was the daughter of a planter in South Carolina, who, at his death, left her mother and his three children free, with money to go to St. Augustine, where they had relatives. It was during the Revolutionary War; and they were captured on their passage, carried back, and sold to different purchasers. Such was the story my grandmother used to tell me; but I do not remember all the particulars. She was a little girl when she was captured and sold to the keeper of a large hotel. I have often heard her tell how hard she fared during childhood. But as she grew older she evinced so much intelligence, and was so faithful, that her master and mistress could not help seeing it was for their interest to take care of such a valuable piece of property. She became an indispensable personage in the household, officiating in all capacities, from cook and wet nurse to seamstress. She was much praised for her cooking; and her nice crackers became so famous in the neighborhood that many people were desirous of obtaining them. In consequence of numerous requests of this kind, she asked permission of her mistress to bake crackers at night, after all the household work was done; and she obtained leave to do it, provided she would clothe herself and her children from the profits. Upon these terms, after working hard all day for her mistress, she began her midnight bakings,

      Based off what ive read you can see that the slave girl went through simular situations as the other narratives ive read but not so much. Harret grown up being a slave but was a different kind of slave. although her family was captured they stilled lived as if they werent slaves at all. her father wanted to purchase all his children but sadly that never happened Also she didnt look like the typical slave she had a light brown complexion .In my opinion its different from other narritives that we read about this far because they went through traggic times to the point where they werent mentally messed up . Not only that but they were bought and sold and to never see there families again . where harret still lived with her family.

    4. I was never cruelly over-worked; I was never lacerated with the whip from head to foot; I was never so beaten and bruised that I could not turn from one side to the other; I never had my heel-strings cut to prevent my running away; I was never chained to a log and forced to drag it about, while I toiled in the fields from morning till night; I was never branded with hot iron, or torn by bloodhounds. On the contrary, I had always been kindly treated, and tenderly cared for, until I came into the hands of Dr. Flint. I had never wished for freedom till then. But though my life in slavery was comparatively devoid of hardships, God pity the woman who is compelled to lead such a life!

      Even though she never faced the typical hardworking of other slaves on plantations, she still felt pain on behalf of other female slaves that had to endure the horrors of such physical abuse. But she admits that even though she didn’t faced such hard labor, she still suffered emotional and sexual abuse which she doesn’t wish upon any woman.

    5.   When Dr. Flint learned that I was again to be a mother, he was exasperated beyond measure. He rushed from the house, and returned with a pair of shears. I had a fine head of hair; and he often railed about my pride of arranging it nicely. He cut every hair close to my head, storming and swearing all the time. I replied to some of his abuse, and he struck me. Some months before, he had pitched me down stairs in a fit of passion; and the injury I received was so serious that I was unable to turn myself in bed for many days. He then said, "Linda, I swear by God I will never raise my hand against you again;" but I knew that he would forget his promise.

      Dr flint was obsessed with her and couldn’t bare the fact of not having full control of Linda

      From what we have read so far till now there are major differences in Harriet’s and the others.. This sentence just shows the difference. Being that she was mixed she got treated better than the other authors who wrote about their experience as a slave. She says her childhood was a happy one whereas we have the other authors going through tram at a young age. They’d been taken from their parents or their parents were killed in front of them. They were beat and emotionally abused. But since she was considered mulatto she was still a slave but had better treatment.

      This is obviously done incorrectly in schools nowadays, referring to the large class sizes and common core putting restrictions on mostly everything. This raises the question, though, does homeschooling produce a better pedagogy? Or is it dependent on the specific educator?

    1. The patriarch or matriarch of this family is the head of family, controls the family property and the finances, makes all the important decisions, and is responsible for the protection and welfare of the entire family.

      One thing that I think is notable about this is about the kind of children that may results from this type of structure in the family. Our book talks about the Whiting and Whiting's 6 culture studies which found two big findings. One was that depending on is a child grew up in a hunter gather society or a urban dwellers, they would have very different experiences regarding who the child spent time with, what activities the child was exposed to, and what behaviors and personality traits were valued, emphasized, and encouraged. Another huge finding was that women's work roles contributed to the children's social behaviors. In cultures where women are the subsistence base of the family, children learned to share the family responsibilities and were not as dependent. However, in cultures where women were not expected to substantially, contribute to the subsistence base of the family, children were high on dependence. So I am wondering if the same would be true for those who live in a more patrilineal or matrilineal structure. Would children raised in a more patrilineal culture be more dependent on others as opposed to children who were raised in a matrilineal culture who may be less dependent on others and share more family responsibilities.

      Because all my life I was too afraid to face with myself running from it became one of the few things I am good at. In order to find my perfect hiding place I tried lots of things such as listening music, reading a book or watching tons of films but none of them worked. I was still able to hear my thoughts, my emotions were still persistent to remind their power over me or my personality were still bad at fighting with all of them. As a last resort I tried writing and all of a sudden my head was quite again. After that writing became my safe place So when I saw this definition of poetry I thought this is the perfect one. Because poetry should be like matryoshka dolls every time one read a sentence of a poem he/she should be able to discover new meanings.That’s why I think those people who use poetry to escape themselves do this perfectly because while trying to escape those things they learn how to hide behind words. One never truly understand what is the real meaning those poets intended to say and this must be one true aim of poetry: To make people think deeper.

      I feel like this would also apply for the radio as well. Since people would be forced to listen to the create a visual image in their head, wouldn't they also have a high sensory participation?

    1. Cast it down among the eight millions of Negroes whose habits you know, whose fidelity and love you have tested in days when to have proved treacherous meant the ruin of your firesides. Cast down your bucket among these people who have, without strikes and labour wars, tilled your fields, cleared your forests, builded [sic] your railroads and cities, and brought forth treasures from the bowels of the earth, and helped make possible this magnificent representation of the progress of the South. Casting down your bucket among my people, helping and encouraging them as you are doing on these grounds, and to education of head, hand, and heart, you will find that they will buy your surplus land, make blossom the waste places in your fields, and run your factories.

      By promising labor peace, Washington cuts the legs out from the Farmers Alliance movement. Thought that tried to draw people of the same economic class was not popular.

    1. never much interested"

      I find it interesting that Walt Disney had little appeal in regards to radio. It would be a good place to develop stories and tell them without having to spend the money on animation. In the video Disney said "Dreams are what matter" and picturing a show in your head with vocal aid is kind of like daydreaming or dreaming itself.

    1. observers can never fully know what is in the actor’s head, no matter how closely they watch.

      The only access point to this information is personal reflection?

    2. What does the friendly person want? What is the cynical father trying to achieve?

      Most people tend to not care what the other person wants unless it directly affects them. Unless the person in question is deemed untrustworthy, people won't care about what is in the others' head.

    1. While she now makes a living with her pen, it was not always so easy for her or her Latino/Chicano contemporaries.

      i could understand because writing is not easy, i know is creative and fun but sometimes you get super tired from typing and getting those ideas off the back of your head. and your brain would run out of ideas and then you start to struggle, on getting new idea to finish your book. sometimes you are not promised to make a fotun on the work you put in on your books. but that is something only god knows

      Quotes from social media could help support your statement or what you are trying to prove in an argument.

    1. if the people suffer, they know the head from which their suffering springs

      in a society run by government, the status / wellbeing of the gov is reflected through society (connects to the idea of the status of good citizenship)

    1. quietly dramatic

      This is how I'd describe a lot of Dickinson's poems; when they do "take the top of your head off", so to speak, it's not a Michael Bay film; there are no explosions and exclamations. It's a quiet, quick sort of thing, often happening in the span of one line; and that one line usually halts me in my tracks and I have to read it once again before continuing.

    1. Reading in this way can cause you to skip over gaps in your written argument because the gap-filler is in your head.

      your brain skips over the mistakes because you think your writing is fine the way it is.

    1. Delta Fair in Memphis was fired when he used the term “nappy head”

      companies are still willing to have boundries,or is it only because it publicly reflected badly on them.

    2. He just puts his head through a hole in a big piece of canvass and permits the aforesaid head to be used as a target by young men who toss baseballs,” the ad read.

      instead of a lever it's his face!!!

    1. "Busted his head open and blood got all over," Wright recalls. "I had to take him to the hospital, and they told me to tell them he ran into the wall and I better not tell them what really happened."

      This is very scary and the fact that nobody helped them growing up when they were tortured and abused in an institution that was meant to just help them learn and be educated.

    2. After all, "white" is the only racial group that needs a modifier for it to become a slur. There's no "black trash" or "Hispanic trash" or "Native American trash," presumably, because for most of American history, those people were assumed by those in power to be poor, uneducated and criminal.

      This is a really messed up idea most Americans have in their head. Your color of skin should not determine your status in the world.

      This is interesting to me because of the hours he put into studying. He put 3.5 hours of studying and got an A+. What we are told is the more you study, the higher the grade, but that's not always the case. You could spend 10 hours studying, but not really putting information in your head. I remember in high school, for my math final, it took me only 2 hours to study for it and I got an A- and most people didn't get a high grade and said they studied everyday for a week. It's not so much about the time yous spend studying, but more of what do you do with it and how.

As this remark shows, women had been traditionally associated with the "heart" or emotions, men with the "head" or intellect. In As You Like It, however, it is Rosalind who intelligently and realistically speaks from the head, as when she tells Phebe, "Sell when you can: you are not for all markets" (111. iv. 60). And it is Orlando, the man, who speaks from the heart, responding to Ganymede's realism with "I would not be cure

    1. You must capture, organize, and regularly review all of your obligations as a student.

      This is very helpful because ever since I got a planner and can see all my deadlines instead of picturing them in my head, I am more productive.

    2. After every test, every paper, every major problem set, ask yourself: what worked and what could I do to be better (and faster) the next time around?

      This statement stood out to me because this is a good mindset to have in life when anything can be overwhelming. A lot of people tend be pessimistic when unwanted situations occur, so, having this growth mindset can help clear negativity from your head.

    1. Rosenthal writes of one plantation where the owner supervised a top lawyer, who supervised another lawyer, who supervised an overseer, who supervised three bookkeepers, who supervised 16 enslaved head drivers and specialists (like bricklayers), who supervised hundreds of enslaved workers. Everyone was accountable to someone else, and plantations pumped out not just cotton bales but volumes of data about how each bale was produced. This organizational form was very advanced for its time, displaying a level of hierarchal complexity equaled only by large government structures, like that of the British Royal Navy.

      Awkward sentence, can probably break it up a bit.

    1. My father seemed taller—a dark, slender man dressed in a sweat suit and white sneakers like an American; his beloved afro shaved to a style that made his head look like a pencil eraser with a part on one side

      The father's adoption of American styles makes him appear unrecognizable and foreign. This demonstrates how adopting a new culture can strip one's old customs at the same time.

    2. My father continued to live up there in the clouds, where my mind placed him.

Use them to identify sections you may need to reread, read more carefully, or ask your instructor about later.

    1. But they should not keep these prizes, I said; some, all, I would wrest from them. Just how I would do it I could never decide: by reading law, by healing the sick, by telling the wonderful tales that swam in my head,—some way.

      This reminds me of the quote "you must be twice as good as them to get half of what they have"

    1. Of all these nations God our Lord gave charge to one man, called St. Peter,that he should be Lord and Superior of all the men in the world, that all should obey him, and that he should be the head of the whole human race, wherever men should live, and under whatever law, sect, or belief they should be; and he gave him the world for his kingdom and jurisdiction. And he commanded him to place his seat in Rome as the spot most fitting to rule the world from; but also he permitted him to have his seat in any other part of the world, and to judge and govern all Christians, Moors [Muslims], Jews, Gentiles, and all other sects. This man was called Pope, as if to say, Admirable Great Father and Governor of men. The men who lived in that time obeyed that St. Peter and took him for Lord, King, and Superior of the universe; so also they have regarded the others who after him have been elected to the pontificate, and so has it been continued even till now and will continue till the end of the world.

      This was an erroneous teaching, a doctrine of devils, deifying a man who was not God in the flesh (Jesus Christ), Peter even talks about this in 2 Peter 2:1-22. But since the focal point is not on Jesus Christ and him crucified, and instead on Peter's "authoritative power", this leaves an open door to bondage and shutting the door to liberty through Jesus Christ. Even Peter wished to not be glorified this way (Acts 3:6-26). The Apostle Paul even challenged and rebuked Peter (Galatians 2:11-20) and nothing happened to Paul for doing so. This is and around the time the Latin Vulgate was the only copy of the Holy Scriptures, because the Catholic Church demanded that all the Scriptures in every language be burned and make the Latin Vulgate be the only one around, this was to control the people and keep the people ignorant, it was said that no one could read Latin at the time either only the priests. This is why the Protestant Reformation was so powerful, thanks to William Tyndale, Martin Luther, and Miles Coverdale. In reality the majority of the reason why the settlers of america, after Cortez, came to america and were fleeing not just for freedom of religion, but intently from freedom of religious persecution. They came to America with the Geneva Bible and King James Bible too. The Spanish came with the evil Latin Vulgate and the mission of the Catholic Church. The people who stood up against the Catholic Church and were contributing to the true Gospel and the true scriptures being made, were burned to death, thrown in coliseums to be eaten alive, etc. Catholic Church wasn't discovered till a Pagan King named Constantine who had a city with half the population Christians and the other half Pagan who were fighting against each other, had a prophetic vision from whatever Pagan deity he worshipped, showed him a vision of a cross, and taught him to combine christianity with paganism to get what we have today as catholicism, worship of gods and goddesses but masked with holy saints, even making pagan holidays with christian twists to it. All this to have no more fighting and have compromise in the city he ruled. Catholic church seems to want to do the same thing here in the americas to not lose that control and power over everything,preying on the naive and uneducated, as they were being resisted in their own home country.

    1. but the on-camera talking head of a known television personality is still one of the more difficult aspects of the image to fake.

      Why is a television personality one of the most difficult aspects to fake? Well known television personalities are easy to connect with and understand, so wouldn't it be easier to "fake"? Maybe I am misunderstanding the content, but I believe that these people/characters have such a different personality that it is easy to distinguish them from others.
