    1. Ultralearning, with its focus on aggressiveness, therefore is about seriously answering the question, “what activities should I do to learn this well?” Those activities are often more effortful than the default, but they are also more effective. This is what I’m trying to advocate in encouraging ultralearning—picking activities that actually let you learn and not filler ones that feel good but have no value.

      We naturally tend to take shortcuts. Doing difficult things is difficult, but thats where we learn. Its like mindfulness, when you realise you're going down the bad path (distraction -> easy route), bring yourself back to the better state (focusing on your breath -> attempting that challenging task head on)

    1. The girl’s face was all in a flush as she made me that answer; and she walked away with a toss of her head and a look of self-importance which I was quite at a loss to account for.

      Rosanna’s body movement and facial expression grow weird. Perhaps it is because she is so infatuated with Franklin. Her crazy love of Franklin and jealousy of Rachel may cause the psychological deformity inside her. Her strange behaviors make me suspect that she might have been involved in the steal of the Moonstone.

    2. He first sent for the servants, and told them to leave all the lower doors and windows (with the exception of the front door, which I had opened) exactly as they had been left when we locked up over night.

      This paragraph describes a series of measures Franklin conducts to deal with the accident. He arranges the inspections methodically. We can discover that Franklin indeed has a clear head and really wants to find out the criminal.

    3. as head of the servants, I never allow, on principle, to pass without inquiry

      This was the second time the head of the servants was treated impolitely as it used to be. What's on earth going wrong?

    4. The mist rises in my head, and puzzles me. I can see no more to-day.

      This sentence puzzles me. As says as followed, it has a moral. By now, I couldn't find out what's that exactly.

    1. GOOD ANGEL. O, Faustus, lay that damned book aside, And gaze not on it, lest it tempt thy soul, And heap God’s heavy wrath upon thy head! Read, read the Scriptures:–that is blasphemy. EVIL ANGE

      This reminds me of those scenes that you see in movies, where the angel and the devil are both on someone's shoulder, and they are interfering with their decision.

    1. “Iwonderifit’saconsequenceoftheirbodies’radialsymmetry: theirbodies’radialsymmetry: theirbodieshaveno‘forward’direction,

      Radial Symmetry is in the context of the body composition for the heptapod, when split into parts. When you cut a human down the middle, you get two even parts, a left and right half. Heptapods have a radial symmetry and not bi-symmetrical like humans. Radial symmetry creatures are much more otherworldly. Hard to divide the body up. This further the impression of heptapods’ strange appearance with the details prior. If they have no ‘forward’ direction like a human having no head per se looking onward, and are radial symmetry it would hard to decipher what body parts function for what, and with that the heptapods have a developed a much different form of understanding for their strange appearance.

    2. I knew you’d know it,” you’ll say. You’ll give me a sudden, brief hug, and yourhair will smell of apples. “You’re the best.

      I find it interesting how this scene plays out in the character's head. The "you'll say. You'll give me" etc. shows how the character wants/expects the scene to play out.

    1. These three hours that we have spent, Walking here, two shadows went Along with us, which we ourselves produced. But, now the sun is just above our head, We do those shadows tread, And to brave clearness all things are reduced. So whilst our infant loves did grow, Disguises did, and shadows, flow From us and our cares ; but now ’tis not so.

      the shadows are their secrets but during the day the go away

    1.   And for Mark Antony, think not of him,    For he can do no more than Caesar’s arm    When Caesar’s head is off.

      A key factor within Brutus’s tragic downfall is his underestimation of Mark Anthony’s capabilities as an orator and tactician. The authoritative tone of this notion creates an essence of leadership and power within Brutus, while the personification of Caesar’s arm portrays his misjudgment of Anthony’s power. Later within the play, Anthony's soliloquy plays a major role in the eventual destruction of Brutus. He does not expect Anthony to influence the masses of Rome and revolt against the senators, while worsening the political situation. Evidently, Shakespeare aims to prove how a successful leader needs to have a perceptive attitude as well as obtain honour and strong stature within society.

    2. BRUTUS

      The heightened emotional tension elicited by the recurring metaphorical image “to cut the head off” and “hack the limbs” emphasises Brutus’ conflicting intentions. His respect towards Caesar’s corpse is underscored by the prevailing aspiration to “carve him as a dish fit for the gods, /Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds”, accentuating his esteemed nature through the forewarning: “our course will seem to bloody”.

    3. Let Antony and Caesar fall together.  BRUTUS. Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius,    To cut the head off and then hack the limbs    Like wrath in death and envy afterwards;    For Antony is but a limb of Caesar.

      Cassius's sentiment is shown through his dialogue with Brutus about the planned killing of "Let Antony and Caesar fall together". Shakespeare portrays, through metaphorical image, Brutus's respect for Caesar and his own cause "our cause will seem to bloody". Letting Mark Antony live, a loyal combatant to Caesar and a dear friend, foreshadows the following events which would happen as they believe him just to be a follower "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar.

    4. Enter Portia.   PORTIA. Brutus, my lord!  BRUTUS. Portia, what mean you? Wherefore rise you now?    It is not for your health thus to commit    Your weak condition to the raw cold morning.  PORTIA. Nor for yours neither. have ungently, Brutus,    Stole from my bed; and yesternight at supper    You suddenly arose and walk’d about,    Musing and sighing, with your arms across;    And when I ask’d you what the matter was,    You stared upon me with ungentle looks.    I urged you further; then you scratch’d your head,    And too impatiently stamp’d with your foot.    Yet I insisted, yet you answer’d not,    But with an angry waiter of your hand    Gave sign for me to leave you. So I did,    Fearing to strengthen that impatience    Which seem’d too much enkindled, and withal    Hoping it was but an effect of humor,    Which sometime hath his hour with every man.    It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep,    And, could it work so much upon your shape    As it hath much prevail’d on your condition,    I should not know you, Brutus. Dear my lord,    Make me acquainted with your cause of grief.  BRUTUS. I am not well in health, and that is all.  PORTIA. Brutus is wise, and, were he not in health,    He would embrace the means to come by it.  BRUTUS. Why, so I do. Good Portia, go to bed.  PORTIA. Is Brutus sick, and is it physical    To walk unbraced and suck up the humors    Of the dank morning? What, is Brutus sick,    And will he steal out of his wholesome bed    To dare the vile contagion of the night    And tempt the rheumy and unpurged air    To add unto his sickness? No, my Brutus,    You have some sick offense within your mind,    Which by the right and virtue of my place    I ought to know of; and, upon my knees,    I charm you, by my once commended beauty,    By all your vows of love and that great vow    Which did incorporate and make us one,    That you unfold to me, yourself, your half,    Why you are heavy and what men tonight    Have had resort to you; for here have been    Some six or seven, who did hide their faces    Even from darkness.  BRUTUS. Kneel not, gentle Portia.  PORTIA. I should not need, if you were gentle Brutus.    Within the bond of marriage, tell me, Brutus,    Is it excepted I should know no secrets    That appertain to you? Am I yourself    But, as it were, in sort or limitation,    To keep with you at meals, comfort your bed,    And talk to you sometimes? Dwell I but in the suburbs    Of your good pleasure? If it be no more,    Portia is Brutus’ harlot, not his wife.  BRUTUS. You are my true and honorable wife,    As dear to me as are the ruddy drops    That visit my sad heart.  PORTIA. If this were true, then should I know this secret.    I grant I am a woman, but withal    A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife.    I grant I am a woman, but withal    A woman well reputed, Cato’s daughter.    Think you I am no stronger than my sex,    Being so father’d and so husbanded?    Tell me your counsels, I will not disclose ’em.    I have made strong proof of my constancy,    Giving myself a voluntary wound    Here in the thigh. Can I bear that with patience    And not my husband’s secrets?  BRUTUS. O ye gods,    Render me worthy of this noble wife! Knocking within.    Hark, hark, one knocks. Portia, go in awhile,    And by and by thy bosom shall partake    The secrets of my heart.    All my engagements I will construe to thee,    All the charactery of my sad brows.    Leave me with haste. [Exit Portia.] Lucius, who’s that knocks?

      Introducing Portia in a domestic context, the scene gives the readers a deeper insight into Portia’s remarkable struggle in the depicted, male-dominated society. At Portia’s entrance, Brutus’ remark ‘ It is not for your health/ to commit/ to the raw cold morning” immediately alludes to a perception of women being fragile, which associates their incapability of participating in the political sphere - a stereotype of women in the Elizabethan era. Portia, in retaliation, replies ‘Nor for yours neither’ and goes on to complain about Brutus’ reluctance to reveal about his unusual actions “I urged you further / And you too impatiently stamped with your foot / Yet I insisted, yet you answered not” Note that Portia confronts Brutus in an assertive manner and she is determined to insist on asking until Brutus reveals the secrets. Situational irony is employed here: Portia’s behaviours do not conform with Elizabethan ideals of a wife, since elizabethan women were expected to obey the orders of male members of the family without questioning. Portia’s repetitive questioning ‘Is Brutus sick? And is it physicalTo walk unbracèd/ To add unto his sickness?’ and her condemnation of Brutus having ‘sick offense within (his) mind’ create a sharp contrast against the ideals, along with Brutus’ minimal lines in the scene establish Portia as the dominant figure, thus breaking the stereotype of women being submissive and inferior by highlighting Portia’s strong masculine qualities. In addition, she further demonstrates her ‘constancy’ by stating she is a ‘well-reputed woman’, a woman that is ’fathered and so husbanded’ and by showing a wound she inflicts on her thigh, these actions place emphasis on her ability of enduring male dominance despite two male members in her family being great leaders. Overall, this scene highlights Portia’s grit and bravery, character traits that were usually associated with men, in a time where there are wide-held beliefs of women being inferior.

    1.     stinking breath because Caesar refused the crown that it had    almost choked Caesar, for he swounded and fell down at it. And    for mine own part, I durst not laugh for fear of opening my lips    and receiving the bad air.

      Nicholas Hytner’s decision to portray Casca (Adjoa Andoh) with a unique accent and talking style, emphasises the exaggeration of her experience with the Roman population. This is proven by how she rolls her eyes and performs unusual head movements, the unrealistic existence of her style and characterisation during the Elizabethan Era reflects upon her previous supernatural recounts. As Ajoa Andoh complains about the masses of the country she dramatically changes her voice into a louder, deeper tone when emphasising the “bad air” and “stinking breath”. While doing this she acquires a serious facial expression and raises her eyebrows, accentuating her real disgust and disregardance towards the poor citizens of Rome.

    2. Let me have men about me that are fat,    Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o’ nights:    Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;    He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

      Caesar's confidence and self appraisal is depicted through David Calder, who embodies Caesar's seeming paranoia: "Let me have men about me that are fat ... Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look". Calder expresses Caesar's frustration through his tilted head and slouched back, aggressive hand gestures, and disappointed tone of voice. When Caesar vindictively accuses Cassius' disingenuous intent in, "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look", Hytner dramatises Caesar's anxious state via his constant pacing and worried facial expression, as to further highlight his paranoia regarding the stability of his political ranking.

    3. CASSIUS. No, Caesar hath it not, but you, and I,    And honest Casca, we have the falling sickness.

      The metaphor of 'falling sickness' used by Cassius to reflect upon the failures of Brutus, Casca and Cassius to act upon Caesar's image on the public. The idea of sickness reveals the inner turmoil inside of Cassius' head as he feels his failures have resulted in the fall of Rome. This metaphor can also be intepreted as irony due to Caesar's health condition. Despite the three's perfect health, it is Caesar who holds more power above them. Ironically despite literally having the 'falling sickness', it is Caesar's who rules over and the three of them who are weaker in power.

    1.  Exeunt all but Antony.  ANTONY. O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,    That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!    Thou art the ruins of the noblest man    That ever lived in the tide of times.    Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!    Over thy wounds now do I prophesy    (Which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips    To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue)    A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;    Domestic fury and fierce civil strife    Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;

      As the conspirators exit the scene in the Hytner production, the sound of the door closing behind them resembles the sound of a gunshot. David Morrissey begins his soliloquy speaking with a soft tone, but as he gradually walks up to Caesar's body his voices sharply increases in loudness to the point where his anger is plain for all to see. It's a moment of epiphany as the audience realises that Antony is indeed resentful and vengeful for what the conspirators did to who he perceived as the noblest man that ever lived. As he begins to detail to the audience how he will go to war for caesar, he slowly rears his head back from looking at Caesar to face the way in which the conspirators left and slowly speaks with a husky voice "a curse shall light upon the limbs of men." Hytner utilises this instance, to portray to the audience that Antony is indeed referring to the conspirators, and presents a sense of foreboding for whats to come.

    2. I must prevent thee, Cimber.    These couchings and these lowly courtesies    Might fire the blood of ordinary men    And turn preordinance and first decree    Into the law of children. Be not fond    To think that Caesar bears such rebel blood    That will be thaw’d from the true quality    With that which melteth fools- I mean sweet words,    Low-crooked court’sies, and base spaniel-fawning.    Thy brother by decree is banished.    If thou dost bend and pray and fawn for him,    I spurn thee like a cur out of my way.

      In this production, David Calder's shows his dissatisfaction by using body language. His face shows anger, his eyebrows shot up to indicate this. Then, he leans forward to indicate in a mocking tone, that Metellus Cimber dare try to use "sweet words" to try and get Caesar to release Publius. He then uses his hands to gesture a shooing away of Metellus Cimber, to indicate that he is disappointed, and wishes not to be further questioned about this. In response, Metellus Cimber drops her head, to indicate some sort of uselessness or disappointment in her attempts to free her brother. Overall, the usage of these body languages and gestures allows the Hynter production to truly express what Caesar means, and allows the audience to follow what is going on, even if they don't understand Shakespearean language.

    1. SCENE II. The field of battle. Alarum. Enter Brutus and Messala.   BRUTUS. Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills    Unto the legions on the other side. Loud alarum.    Let them set on at once, for I perceive    But cold demeanor in Octavia’s wing,    And sudden push gives them the overthrow.    Ride, ride, Messala. Let them all come down. Exeunt.

      In the NT adaptation of the play, we only see Brutus in the scene. All other characters are omitted, this brings particular highlight to Brutus's words, adding to the gravity of the his words and the desperation and importance behind them. The tone of his voice yells in haste and almost begins to turn into a begging tone. This, coupled with the literal spotlight over his head, obscuring everything but him and the ground on which he stands works to put Brutus and his words into the metaphorical spotlight.

    1. My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red, than her lips red: If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask’d, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound:

      Shakespeare mocks the typical Petrarchan poetry's blazon, which glorifies a woman by comparing each of her body parts to something beautiful or precious. He is saying all the opposites to describe his mistress.

    1.   BRUTUS. Words before blows. Is it so, countrymen?  OCTAVIUS. Not that we love words better, as you do.  BRUTUS. Good words are better than bad strokes, Octavius.  ANTONY. In your bad strokes, Brutus, you give good words.    Witness the hole you made in Caesar’s heart,

      This scene in the play highlights Brutus' hypocritical nature. Brutus requests to Octavius and Mark Antony they must discuss their differences rather than head out into warfare, he addresses them as "countrymen" similarly to the speech he delivered in Act 3 Scene 2. Octavius responds to Brutus mocking his pacifism and referencing the speech that Brutus delivered in Act 3 scene 2. Octavius claims to Brutus, "not that we love words better, as your do." This claim parallels Brutus' statement his Act 3 scene 2 speech claiming "not that I loved Caesar less, but that Ioved Rome more." Mark Antony then follows up Octavius' insult by pointing out the hypocrisy in Brutus' plea. He explains how Brutus did not even attempt to speak to Caesar before murdering him in cold blood, alleging that Brutus "gives good words" after "bad strokes."

    1. Caesar, thou art revenged,

      Hytner profoundly and effectively portrays Cassius’ ultimate downfall in this scene. A close up shot of Cassius’ face is shown depicting his intricate facial features included wrinkles furrowed brows as he admits in his soliloquy, ‘Caesar thou art revenge even with the weapon that killed thee’. Cassius also has defeated body language including a hunched back and lowered head towards the end of this scene. Hytner’s use of simple stage settings including a black background with minimal smoke is effective as it draws attention to Cassius’ pain and feelings of regret and guilt.

    1. This means a skydiver with a mass of 75 kg achieves a maximum terminal velocity of about 350 km/h while traveling in a pike (head first) position, minimizing the area and his drag. In a spread-eagle position, that terminal velocity may decrease to about 200 km/h as the area increases. This terminal velocity becomes much smaller after the parachute opens.

      Discussed 2/13. Of course, the parachute lends an enormous effective area to the skydiver, so that the new terminal speed -- the landing speed -- is slow enough to survive.

    1. And with his trenchand blade her boldly kept From turning backe, and forced her to stay: Therewith enrag’d she loudly gan to bray, And turning fierce, her speckled taile aduaunst, Threatning her angry sting, him to dismay: Who nought aghast, his mightie hand enhaunst: The stroke down fro[m]; her head vnto her shoulder glaunst.

      She's dazed by the blow, but then becomes even angrier, rushes on top of Red Cross Knight and wraps him up with her tail.

    2. Their dam vpstart, out of her den effraide, And rushed forth, hurling her hideous taile About her cursed head, whose folds displaid Were stretcht now forth at length without entraile.

      She hates light so is put off by the shine of his armor.

    1. This is the sort of ambiguous comment which seems to invite an assenting nod of the head but could easily have been uttered by Nigel Farage. Similarly, 'Irish Blood, English Heart', in which he sang, I've been dreaming of a time when/ To be English is not to be baneful /To be standing by the flag not feeling shameful/ Racist or partial/ Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of /There is no one on earth I'm afraid of/ And I will die with both of my hands untied."

      I must confess, that until today, I've not thought about how nationalistic Morrissey's "Irish Blood, English Heart" is in his nowadays context.

    1. And now, Octavius,    Listen great things. Brutus and Cassius    Are levying powers; we must straight make head;    Therefore let our alliance be combined,    Our best friends made, our means stretch’d;    And let us presently go sit in council,    How covert matters may be best disclosed,    And open perils surest answered.

      At the end of Act 4 Scene 1 (1:42:34) in the NT Production of Julius Caesar, body language is displayed by Mark Antony (David Morrissey). David Morrissey's use of body language in this scene does two things. The first is evident when we see him tap Octavius' arm (Kit Young), causing Octavius to stop in his tracks, look down and really analyse his next move whether it involves trusting Antony or not. Due to the fact that, after just talking ill of Lepidus and calling him "property" behind his back, Antony wants Octavius to take his side and combine powers. Second, it is simply telling Octavius to trust him and it will all work out. Thus, Hytner's subtle addition of 'a tap on the arm' acts as symbol of assurance and motivation.

    1. How he received you. Let me be resolved.  LUCILIUS. With courtesy and with respect enough,    But not with such familiar instances,    Nor with such free and friendly conference,    As he hath used of old.  BRUTUS. Thou hast described    A hot friend cooling. Ever note, Lucilius,    When love begins to sicken and decay    It useth an enforced ceremony.    There are no tricks in plain and simple faith;    But hollow men, like horses hot at hand,    Make gallant show and promise of their mettle;    But when they should endure the bloody spur,    They fall their crests and like deceitful jades    Sink in the trial. Comes his army on?

      In this scene, Lucilius tells Brutus that he has not been well received by Cassius - ‘not with such familiar instances’. Brutus then compares Cassius to a horse that is ‘hot at hand’, which makes ‘gallant show and promise of (its) mettle’. When fighting in Ancient Rome, the generals often had to bring ‘horse(s) of good mettle’ - horses that were physcially strong and courageous. In the battle, as a courageous horse charges forward, its head and neck arch down. But when it can not stand the test of tough battles, it shows fear by sagging its neck and moving its head back and up, which reveals its poor nature. Through the comparison, Brutus implies that Cassius hides his insincerity by straining himself to act nicely, but it is obvious that he is ‘making a gallant show’. Thus, the strong imagery used in Brutus’ quote adds tension to the scene by revealing Brutus’ discontent at Cassius’ actions and paves the way for their disagreement when Cassius arrives.

    1. 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.

      The weary blues symbolize the soul which echoes after he is asleep and abandoned his body.

    2. And grow strong. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes.

      This individual is not being treated the way that they feel they should be. But they are keeping their head up and looking to the future. They know that one day they will be able to sit at the table and "laugh" in the face of the one who told them to eat in the kitchen.

    3. 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.

      Leaves you with the question: is this one sad night in the blues man's life, "The stars went out and so did the moon," or a compression of time emblematic of his entire sad existence? "He slept like a rock or a man that's dead," Hughes seems to be telling us that he got out all of his blues for tonight, or they took his number off the wall and he died of the blues. Cruel of the poet not to give us a definitive answer.

    1. By shouldering some of readers’ self-monitoring and regulation, these authors’ efforts can indeed lighten the metacognitive burden. But metacognition is an inherently dynamic process, evolving continuously as readers’ own conceptions evolve. Books are static. Prose can frame or stimulate readers’ thoughts, but prose can’t behave or respond to those thoughts as they unfold in each reader’s head. The reader must plan and steer their own feedback loops.

      Reading books is just a form of transmission from author to reader. Even if the reader is thoughful and takes deep thought, it may not coincide with the book's pre-planned path. i.e. I read this section in the article, I think deeply and at length, but now, I return to the article, and the next paragraph is not related to my thoughts...

      i suggest a network of information, which ties to neurons of information to each other. If someone was tired or mentally fatigued, they could follow these networks (drawn by previous thinkers). The network is every increasing at each node. This network can be thought of a mind map, but breaks conventional mind map rules. Nodes can reconnect back to each other. Branches are not made, instead, every path in the network is equal in weight/ thickness.

    1.     Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,    In which so many smiling Romans bathed,    Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck    Reviving blood, and that great men shall press    For tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance.

      (Dramatic, Decius) The seductive and passionate performance of these lines by the female actor playing Decius advocates an alternate view to Caesar's eventual change-of-mind and appearance in the Senate. Hytner's production exploits an ironic role reversal, with the female (Decius) standing with a masculine, powerful and overbearing pose, whilst Caesar is sitting, being scolded and scratching his head, baffled. In pyjamas, Hytner makes Caesar look foolish and powerless to resist to Decius' reasoning.

    1. We

      I'm interested to learn more about this "we" and how the group functions on an individual and collective level. I also read the title as a way for the members of the "we" to distinguish themselves and "how [they] do it" from other groups and how those groups do "it," which I'm assuming is teaching English with technology. Last note: I now have Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" in my head as I begin the article, which is a plus.

    1. Warum es sich darüber nachzudenken lohnt, während der Brexit die EU zu sprengen droht, der US-Präsident die Welt durcheinanderbringt und in der Ukraine demnächst wohl ein Komiker als Staatsoberhaupt amtiert? Weil das Ganze entscheidend dafür ist, wie es mit der CDU und damit wohl auch der deutschen Regierung weitergeht.

      Why is it worth it to think about all this, when Brexit is threatening the EU, the US President is causing a global collapse, and a comic is head of state in the Ukraine? That's because all this is decisive for the way the CDU, and by extension the German government, will progress.

    1. My law that I shewed, when I for them died, They forget clean, and shedding of my blood red; I hanged between two, it cannot be denied; To get them life I suffered to be dead; I healed their feet, with thorns hurt was my head:

      This is describing the crucifixion of Christ, which is both the son of God and God himself.

    2. To get them life I suffered to be dead; I healed their feet, with thorns hurt was my head

      Talking about when Jesus died on the cross. He is saying that people don't care about him or what he did to save everyman.

    1. Remember March, the ides of March remember.    Did not great Julius bleed for justice’ sake?

      At this point, Ben Whishaw, who portrays Brutus, leans ever closer at Cassius, and now holds up his hands towards his head, while speaking in an almost ridiculing tone towards Cassius, bidding her to remember the Ides of March. Later he says, "Julius bleed for justice' sake." The use of language, bodily movement, and facial expression provide us with an insight into how astounded he is by Cassius' corrupt actions, and how he cannot believe that his friend would make such a poor moral decision, after committing murder for the sake of justice. This building tension and anger within Brutus, also displays how he is panicked by all the troubles that surround him, both through the mustering forces of Octavius and Mark Antony, and the much closer problems of Cassius and Brutus' men.

    1. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?”

      The status of in between being alive and dead is brought up here again. There is a possibility that the person is in shock or confused by the status to the point that they cannot respond.

    2.   After the torchlight red on sweaty faces After the frosty silence in the gardens After the agony in stony places The shouting and the crying Prison and palace and reverberation Of thunder of spring over distant mountains He who was living is now dead We who were living are now dying With a little patience

      This stanza seems to draw back from the four previous parts of the poem where spring, water, fire, and death and life take on a specific place in the cycle of life. Thunder without rain provides another ominous feeling as has been the entire poem. Things that should be looked as positive are turned on its head. These are some kind of feelings that “we” all of us including the narrator has to struggle with. The end of this stanza gives an eerie thought that those who died in the war would be wishing to be alive and those alive (and witnessed the horrors of war) would wish to die soon “with little patience”.

    3. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?”

      Being suspended in time, not knowing what it means to be alive and evaluating the sense of purpose to keep on living. Given the interaction in this part of the poem, the conversation seems to become of a question of mental state than physical.

    4.       I remember Those are pearls that were his eyes. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?”

      or is this perhaps a reference of the woman who lived in luxury. she recalls, perhaps someone who has died, but instead of naming who it is she remembers pearls and rags. she briefly mentions the death and mostly wonders about her life.

    1. Seben nappy heads Wit’ big shiny eye All boun’ in jail An’ framed to die

      This stanza read to me as seven black boys with bright eyes that are sitting in jail accused of a crime they did not commit. It speaks to the injustices black men faced at the hands of the white patriarchal laws set up to work against the black population. This stanza is repeated as the final stanza to leave the readers with that image in their head because the injustices persist

    1. At first, I thought this was a laughable longshot, but as I started to look at the past year’s winners, a dangerous Neil Patrick Harris “challenge accepted” bubbled up in my head. The rest is history.

    1. But I end up coming back to this simple stuff because I can’t shake the feeling that digital literacy needs to start with the mirror and head-checks before it gets to automotive repair or controlled skids. Because it is these simple behaviors, applied as habits and enforced as norms, that have the power to change the web as we know it, to break our cycle of reaction and recognition, and ultimately to get even our deeper investigations off to a better start.

      After reading the article, I realized that it is extremely simple to check some of the things online that we are consuming, especially when we spend so much time on our devices. I haven't really checked what I was looking at or reading, except for school work, and I think that Caulfield has provided some easy ways for us to do so.

    2. But I end up coming back to this simple stuff because I can’t shake the feeling that digital literacy needs to start with the mirror and head-checks before it gets to automotive repair or controlled skids. Because it is these simple behaviors, applied as habits and enforced as norms, that have the power to change the web as we know it, to break our cycle of reaction and recognition, and ultimately to get even our deeper investigations off to a better start.

      First off i want to say what a great article, i really enjoyed reading it. I chose this quote because it pretty much sums up the article. It also explains a lot of what is already going on the media and ways we can improve. It's so true. If a lot more people would stop to look up if the information they heard or read about were true, then there would be so much less fake news. It's important to not be so quick to believe everything that is online.

    1. wimple

      A wimple is an ancient form of female headdress, formed of a large piece of cloth worn around the neck and chin, and covering the top of the head. Its use developed in early medieval Europe. Today the wimple is worn by certain nuns who retain a traditional habit. When I think of wimple, I think of a hijab that modern day muslims wear as a symbol of their religion. The reason that I connected the two of them is because they are both signs of religions and are bother worn on the head of females or women.

    2. A lover and a lively bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they’d laid in press.

      I like how this line was included so we may develop a visual representation in our head of what the young Squire looks like. Given that he is the son, it's possible that perhaps the father also had similar imagery.

    1.  The agreement was, to set it plainly down, As made between those two of great renown: That if Arcita, any time, were found, Ever in life, by day or night, on ground 355 Of any country of this Theseus, And he were caught, it was concerted thus, That by the sword he straight should lose his head.

      If Arcite is ever found on Theseus’s lands, he will be killed.

    1. If I could put a notion in his head:

      Frost follows the same pattern as Masters when he speaks about the neighbor who is stuck in a time past. He has a belief that walls are order and the narrator thinks differently and wishes to change his old ways of living.

    1. valleys, its deaf-mutes, thieves old names and promiscuity between devil-may-care men who have taken to railroading out of sheer lust of adventure—

      I sense a stripped-down echo of Whitman in this poem, but negative, as if all the joy and beauty that Whitman feels about America has been turned on its head.

    1. John Lane said to Gertrude Stein that he was going out of town for a week and he made a rendezvous with her in his office for the end of July, to sign the contract for Three Lives.

      John Lane (1854-1925) was a publisher who co-founded Bodley Head with Charles Elkin Mathews in 1887 as a bookshop before transitioning into publishing novels. He would go one to leave Bodley head and help open Penguin books. John Lane would help Stein publish her first book: Three Lives in 1909.

      Gertrude Stein was introduced to John Lane by Myra Edgerly, a painter, who believed Steins work should be made available to the public. Gertrude was offered a contract by John to publish her writings, in particular Three Lives. Stein would often spend Sunday afternoons at John's house in London reviewing and revising the book before publishing. He is said to be enthusiastic and confident about her novel.

    1. The last word wavered, and the song was done. He raised again the jug regretfully And shook his head, and was again alone

      The poem seems to be suggesting that the narrator could be outside of the boundaries of time. The idea that the narrator "was again alone" is something that is repeated throughout the poem

    2. He raised again the jug regretfully And shook his head, and was again alone. There was not much that was ahead of him, And there was nothing in the town below– Where strangers would have shut the many doors That many friends had opened long ago.

      the poet is back home in his town and is a stranger because no longer are his friends there and he is getting drunk thus everyone who sees him no longer pay attention to him.

    1. We normally start at the home vertex, and by choosing between the be somebody and do something paths, we make our way out into the world, heading towards either the public or frontier vertices

      Out into the world is into the public, where things become a thing, or to the frontier, where you may find a there. I reckon people born at the frontier nexus would have to head public, despite hating it, because there no such thing as home for them.

    1. May He bring us to his bliss! AMEN.

      One thing I noticed about this text is that the beginning of the sentence is at the end, and the end of the sentence is at the beginning. It may not be true, but if I thought about the authors writing that way, it helped me understand the writing. I think the author wants me to know the lesson of being true to my word, no matter how weird or bad it is. Even if my head is going to be chopped off, try to keep my word. Maybe the author wanted me to learn the lessons of to try to trek through treachery. To go through a wilderness of love and pain and come out the other side. I don't really have any questions. It was hard to read, but the text made sense overall. My mind wanders into the great world of King Arthur. Where knights are thought as deities. Where you may kiss the wife of a king, even though she is your aunt. Where there is nothing bigger than a twin size bed apparently.

    2. Overall this was a great story and seemed like a story to be of a lesson to others that though you may be tempted it is always best to resist that temptation for in the long run it might come to bite you in the butt. I was honestly super surprised that the host was the man in the green. I still don't understand why he went out of his way to challenge someone and have his head cut and then a year later bring them into their palace with their woman and then end up not killing them. I was also very surprised that he did not give into the woman which is probably part of their plan to see if he would fall for it. Over all great but strange story.

    3. you, the knight, the noblest child of your age, your high fame and honour told everywhere, why I have sat by yourself here separately twice, yet heard I never that your head held even a word that ever belonged to love, the less nor the more

      he is not very affectionate or expressive with his emotions

    4. The sharp edge sank in the flesh through the fair fat, so that bright blood over his shoulders shot to the earth. And when the knight saw his blood blotting the snow, he spurted up, feet first, more than a spear-length, seized swiftly his helm and on his head cast it, shrugged with his shoulders his fine shield under, broke out his bright sword, and bravely he spoke – never since he was a babe born of his mother had he ever in this world a heart half so blithe – ‘Back man, with your blade, and brandish no more! I have received a stroke in this place without strife, and if you offer another I’ll readily requite you and yield it you swiftly again – of that be you sure – as foe.

      Sir Gawain is truly quite the man. He really is a very strong a courageous fighter and is not at all once to be fearful.

    5. He leant down his neck, and bowed, and showed the white flesh all bare, as if he were no way cowed; for to shrink he would not dare.

      he wasen't a coward. He was going to give the green giant the same chance to chop off his head

    6. nor such flanks on a swine he’d not seen before. Then they handled the huge head, the knight gave praise,

      he had never seen a boar so large, so he complemented the lord but was also fearful for what he had done because it was dangerous

    7. The lads were so skilled at the lower stations, and the greyhounds so great, that gripped so quickly and dragged them down, as swift I swear, as sight. In bliss without alloy the lord does spur or alight, and passes that day with joy and so to the dark night.

      This was very good wordplay. I painted a very good image in my head.

    1. For the head in his hand he holds up even, towards the dearest on dais addresses the face; and it lifted its eyelids, and looked full wide, and made this much with its mouth, as you may now hear; ‘Look, Gawain, be you geared to go as you promised, and look out loyally till you me, lord, find, as you swore oath in this hall, these knights hearing.

      This is interesting to me. People at the time would have saw it is magic or some devilish act. This was not the times of pilgrimage, so witchcraft was not the common topic.

      This is also a Framing device.

    2. latched onto his lovely head, and lifted it so; and then strode to his steed, the bridle he catches, steps into stirrup and strides him aloft, and his head by the hair in his hand holds. and as steady and staunch him in his saddle sat as if no mishap had him ailed, though headless now instead.

      the now headless giant is very nonchalant about the whole ordeal

    3. letting it down lightly light on the naked, that the sharp of the steel sundered the bones, and sank through the soft flesh, sliced it in two, that the blade of the bright steel bit in the ground.

      Imagery (personally it grossed me out) of Gawain cutting through the giants skin with the axe and cutting off his head

    4. If any so hardy in this house holds himself, is so bold of blood, hot-brained in his head, that dare staunchly strike a stroke for another, I shall give him as gift this weapon so rich, this blade, that is heavy enough to handle as he likes, and I will bear the first blow, as bare as I sit. If any friend be so fell as to fare as I say, Leap lightly to me; latch on to this weapon – I quit claim for ever, he keeps it, his own.

      If any of you are brave enough, step up and swing this ax. If you do, it's yours to keep.

    5. head of this house, I, Arthur am named.

      It's interesting and it says something about Arthur's character that he merely calls himself the "head of this house" instead of King Arthur, since the title of king is much more powerful.

    6. Dutifully, he cuts the knight’s head off in a single blow; then, the beheaded knight picks his head up and instructs Gawain to seek him out in one year and one day so that he may return the blow.

      is the beheaded knight magical?

    1. Recent cognitive science research shows that the number of things you can mentally prioritize, manage, retain, and recall is . . . (hold on) . . . four! If you park any more than that in your head, you will sub-optimize your cognitive functioning. You will be driven by whatever is latest and loudest—rather than by strategy, intuition, or objective assessment.
    1. If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do?

      It's as if Mary is being medicalized by her own husband. It's the notion of "I know what is best for you" coming from John. It is clear that the male patriarchy is a dominant force within this text. As Mary seems to be victim of her husband enforcing what he wants for her, versus how she feels. She explicitly says she is sick, but he seems to be head of the household so it is his words versus her own.

    2. gate at the head of the stairs

      This phrase symbolizes the confinement that the narrator is feeling even though she is living inside her own room. This feeling began to show up after taking down the wallpaper.

    3. Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!

      This is by far my favorite line, every time I read this story, no matter how creepy it gets, I always laugh at this line. She is so deep into her fantasy that she is perturbed that John “fainted... right across [her] path.” I imagine her creeping over him again and again, shaking her head every time she comes full circle again only to have to creep over him again.

    1. Merely a concrete test of the underlying principles of the great republic is the Negro Problem,

      Note how Du Bois begins and ends with the "Negro Problem." Here, he turns the idea on its head, making it a solution: if America could bring resolution, then it would realize its own ideals of freedom.

    1. Give not this rotten orange to your friend; 

      Four our creative annotation we decided to depict the weeding scene with the literal depiction of Hero as an orange. Though unlike the rottenness she allegedly posses, she is shown ripe and pure as her wedding dress and vale remain white. Claudio is shown looking away from Hero telling everybody about her alleged actions. His ring is thrown on the floor as he breaks apart from his union to Hero. Ironically, the friar has a skull like head since he’s wedding the death of Claudio’s love. To accompany the piece we also created a short poem.

      Leonato is at a crossroads He found out something he was not supposed to know. He found out something very dark and so He found out that Hero was indeed a hoe

      Upon seeing the act he became quite mad As a soldier with pride he could not get sad To take her back was an idea to perceive But in all actuality he just wanted to leave

      Now when he looks at her He sees an orange rotting What he didn’t know Is that behind the scenes someone had been plotting.

    2. Leonato, take her back again: Give not this rotten orange to your friend; 

      In these lines, Claudio is rejecting Hero at their wedding because he is under the impression that she laid with someone else the night prior. This disgust is a mixture of both her “cheating” on him, and also the fact that she is no longer a virgin. Hero was an innocent and pure by being a virgin, which was a favorable trait during the Elizabethan Era and a main reason why Claudio liked Hero so much. Claudio calls Hero a “rotten orange”, and no longer wants to marry her. The use of “rotten orange” takes something that is supposed to be fresh and sweet and turns it bad and sour, similar to how Claudio now feels about Hero. This is a major shift from the “head over heels” attitude Claudio had for Hero previously, which inevitably makes you feel sorry for Hero because of Claudio’s accusatory tone. Shakespeare makes the point here about how brittle society’s views were, and how hearsay could shift societies opinions drastically.

    1. The Strategy Pattern defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and makes them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.

    1. 5G

      You might think this is the place to look for material on whether there are any possible dangers of 5g. However, in an eccentric decision, editors of this articlle remove any sections on the topic as here Removed Dangers of 5g and their explanation on talk page here.

      Wikipedia does have a separate article on the topic of Mobile phone radiation and health, but material from that article is not permitted here and this page doesn't link to it. Sadly that article also has almost nothing on 5g and health.

      In 2011 then WHO /International Agency for Researchon Cancer (IARC) classified radio frequency EM fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).

      If there is a risk it's a tiny one, of certain type of brain cancer. You can take measures to avoid the risk such as not holding a cellphone near your head while downloading large files.

      IARC classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans

      Mayo clinic puts the situation like this:

      The bottom line? For now, no one knows if cellphones are capable of causing cancer. Although long-term studies are ongoing, to date there's no convincing evidence that cellphone use increases the risk of cancer. If you're concerned about the possible link between cellphones and cancer, consider limiting your use of cellphones — or use a speaker or hands-free device that places the cellphone antenna, which is typically in the cellphone itself, away from your head.

      Is there a connection between cellphones and cancer?

      A couple of hundred scientists have signed an appeal to the WHO to say it needs further investigation. Not 5g particularly but cell phones and wifi generally.

      The evidence isn't very good yet but they think there is enough to be worth investigating on a precautionary level.

      International Scientists Appeal to U.N. to Protect Humans and Wildlife from Electromagnetic Fields and Wireless Technology

      These scientists are concerned about a very minute risk of cancer. Though too small to be noticed, if there are even a few deaths in a million, it is something to take precautions to prevent.

      There is a lot of conspirachy theory nonsense on the topic however. See for instance

    1. it is proved already that you are little better than false knaves;

      Dogberry is the character that has the most sway in this scene. Although he is, most of the time, bumbling and misusing his words, Shakespeare puts our expectations of him on his head. He stands accusing Conrade and Borachio of their collaboration with Don John as they can’t do anything to stop him, and has control of the account Sexton writes. He most importantly has Borachio reveal the evil plan of Don John, who’s plotting for the foiling of Claudio and Hero’s marriage. Being the head of the night watch, who was responsible for the capturing of Conrade and Borachio in the first place, Dogberry effectively acts as the hero of the play. Although he acts too late to save the marriage initially, he prevents Don John’s plan from panning out any further. Right in the middle of when Claudio and Benedick challenge one another, Dogberry comes and informs them of their deception. He effectively saves them from their own arrogant and misguided sense of righteousness before one could kill the other. I chose to depict Dogberry in this fashion because he, however flawed, proves himself a saving grace for the characters of the play. I wanted the powerful graphic style of WW2 era posters to turn him into a symbol of inspiration, overcoming his inherit awkwardness to come out on top.

    1. married

      This drawing depicts Benedick before and after the events of Much Ado About Nothing played out. Cut into two frames, the first frame on the left shows Benedick before the events of the play occurred and the frame on the right is after. The first frame shows Benedick alone with a pair of horns on his head. In Scene 1 act 1, Benedick says that he does not want to marry because he would likely cheat on his wife. Based on old tale, cuckolds would grow horns on one’s head. The scene on the right shows Benedick after marrying Beatrice. Beatrice and Benedick seemed to have a complicated relationship but after they both were “tricked” into confessing their love for each other, they end up vowing to marry in act 5 scene 4. The contrast between Benedick at the beginning of the play and after shows just how much he changed and grew as a person. He went from never wanting to marry to marrying the girl he loves.

    2. bull.

      I decided to put Benedick’s head on the bull with the horns to visualize the metaphor of the taming of the savage bull. Everyone, specifically Claudio and Don Pedro, has directly mocked Benedick for being so averted to marriage, which Benedick is surrounded by in my piece. I used marker because this medium allows for a rougher texture that gives the effect of Claudio and Don Pedro’s words. Furthermore, the horns are red to show it's importance to the metaphor. Don Pedro has a crown over him because he is the Prince of Aragon which is also colored purple because that symbolizes royalty and lastly, Claudio is blue symbolizing loyalty.

    3. I think he thinks upon the savage bull. 
      In this line, Claudio pokes fun at Benedick for his reluctance to get married by using a metaphor involving the taming of a wild animal. This metaphor is commonly used throughout this play and comes from a classical myth in which Zeus took the form of a bull and carried off the mortal woman Europa. Just as a free bull is tamed by a farmer, in *Much Ado About Nothing* the bachelor is tamed by responsibility when he becomes a married man. This bull’s horns are another part of the image: the cuckold was depicted as having horns sprouting from his head. By comparing Benedick to a wild untamed animal, Shakespeare has solidified the character of Benedick as one who is converted by marriage, a beast of burden, and at risk of a cuckold-like shame, thus, making the “domesticated savage bull” a symbol of marriage throughout the play. 
      
    1. I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much another man is a fool when he dedicates his behaviors to love, will, after he hath laughed at such shallow follies in others, become the argument of his own scorn by failing in love: and such a manis Claudio.

      Benedick and Beatrice’s rollercoaster of a relationship is one of the most remarkable elements of the already bizarre plot of Much Ado About Nothing. In Benedick’s soliloquy at the beginning of Act 2, Scene 3, he expresses his thoughts on love and the change that results in a man because of it. Benedick sees falling in love as a foolish endeavor and ridicules Claudio for becoming “the argument of his own scorn” by falling in love with Hero. The fact that Claudio and Don Pedro‘s scheme to fool the two adversaries into falling in love with each other actually works is comical and rather shocking. The place underlying love story between Benedick and Beatrice is a key factor in the character development of both lovers. Benedick, who begins the play as a hardened war hero, criticizing Claudio for falling in love with Hero, soon falls head over heels himself. Beatrice, a cynical “shrew” who swore never to marry, soon becomes a lovebird as well. Their change in heart is so drastic and ironic that it becomes one of the defining aspects of the play as a whole, making it the well known Shakespearean comedy it is today.

    1. ” Lo, see the man ! his hair is sprent Like moss about his shaggy head;   ” His beard is fallen to his feet Like weathered ivy tumbling down ! ”

      Great imagery. Makes the king really look and sad. Also ironic that he is in his own castle looking like a beggar

    2. Alas! alas! how wan and white Thy little mouth that was so red!

      What happened to her? is she hurt or are they exaggerating her look of worry and stress. Also this is very beautifully described, the language used helps dramatize everything as well as paint a picture in the readers head.

    1. link the Deccan Traps eruption to the asteroid impact that created the nearly antipodal Chicxulub crater

      This theory of antipodal focusing is disproved according to the intro to the cited source. The source says that the Chicxulub crater is offset from the antipodes by 130°. It also says that the impactor didn't have enough energy to cause melting at the antipodes. The cite says this disproves the antipodal theory.

      Instead the new idea presented in the cite is that the impact generated a magnitude 9 earthquake worldwide and this caused volcanism to increase everywhere, through a now well established process by which nearby earthquakes can trigger increased volcanism. The Deccan traps started well before the impact, due to a rising "plume head", rising through the mantle which hapens every 20-30 million years, but after the impact they sped up and the chemistry changed.

      Cite says:

      The possibility that an impact at Cretaceous-Paleogene time caused Deccan volcanism has been investigated since the discovery of the iridium anomaly at Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, with an emphasis on antipodal focusing of seismic energy. However, the Deccan continental flood basalts were not antipodal to the 66 Ma Chicxulub crater at the time of the impact, but instead separated by an epicentral distance of ~130°. Also, a Chicxulub-size impact does not in any case appear capable of generating a large mantle melting event. Thus, impact-induced partial melting could not have caused the initi-ation of Deccan volcanism, consistent with the occurrence of Deccan volcanism well before Cretaceous-Paleogene/Chicxulub time.

      Instead, Deccan volcanism is widely thought to represent the initial outburst of a new mantle plume “head” at the beginning of the Réunion hotspot track

      Accompanying press release from Berkely university says:

      Michael Manga, a professor in the same department, has shown over the past decade that large earthquakes – equivalent to Japan’s 9.0 Tohoku quake in 2011 – can trigger nearby volcanic eruptions. Richards calculates that the asteroid that created the Chicxulub crater might have generated the equivalent of a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake everywhere on Earth, sufficient to ignite the Deccan flood basalts and perhaps eruptions many places around the globe, including at mid-ocean ridges.

      “It’s inconceivable that the impact could have melted a whole lot of rock away from the impact site itself, but if you had a system that already had magma and you gave it a little extra kick, it could produce a big eruption,” Manga said.

      Similarly, Deccan lava from before the impact is chemically different from that after the impact, indicating a faster rise to the surface after the impact, while the pattern of dikes from which the supercharged lava flowed – “like cracks in a soufflé,” Renne said – are more randomly oriented post-impact.

      “There is a profound break in the style of eruptions and the volume and composition of the eruptions,” said Renne. “The whole question is, ‘Is that discontinuity synchronous with the impact?’”

      Another cite here, "The Conversation" which is written by academics and is WP:RS.

      More bad news for dinosaurs: Chicxulub meteorite impact triggered global volcanic eruptions on the ocean floor (2018)

      Our observations suggest the following sequence of events at the end of the Cretaceous period. Just over 66 million years ago, the Deccan Traps start erupting – likely initiated by a plume of hot rock rising from the Earth’s core, similar in some ways to what’s happening beneath Hawaii or Yellowstone today, that impinged on the side of India’s tectonic plate. The mid-ocean ridges and dinosaurs continue their normal activity.

      About 250,000 years later, Chicxulub hits off the coast of what will become Mexico. The impact causes a massive disruption to the Earth’s climate, injecting particles into the atmosphere that will eventually settle into a layer of clay found across the planet. In the aftermath of impact, volcanic activity accelerates for perhaps tens to hundreds of thousands of years. The mid-ocean ridges erupt large volumes of magma, while the Deccan Traps eruptions flood lava across much of the Indian subcontinent.

    1. The savage bull may; but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull’s horns and set them in my forehead

      In these lines, Benedick is talking directly to Claudio and Don Pedro about the topic of marriage. Benedick’s reference to the taming of the “savage bull” most likely is alluding to marriage and fidelity. Benedick is explaining that even the most “savage bulls” would eventually become tame and subject themselves to marriage. Perhaps his mentioning of the “savage bull” is about Beatrice and her witty and sarcastic banter towards him. At this point in the play, both characters don’t have any noticeable clear and strong feelings towards each other but Benedick could be referencing Beatrice due to the tension they exhibit at the beginning. In this scene Benedick is imagining a situation in which the horns of the bull have been plucked off and placed on his head. Back then, bull horns were imagined on the head of men whose wives cheated. Benedick is suggesting that maybe any woman who marries him would likely cheat, branding him with a pair of horns after.

      I find myself using my cellphone to look up questions that I want answers to, to look up the meaning of words, the weather of the day and even to see how my friends are spending their days, without even having to ask them. It is extremely convenient making it almost irrational to solve your own problems or even perform simple math in your head when your phone provides such an efficient solution. This results with less people having to think for themselves and relying more on the answers their phone provides. Siri has even made it possible to ask questions without having to physically type the letters out on the phone. All you have to do is speak to her.

    1. Guillaume Apollinaire

      Guillaume Apollinaire was a French writer and art critic. He was also a defender of Cubism and a forefather of Surrealism. He worked in a bank as a clerk. In 1914 he enlisted in the infantry during World War I. After receiving a head wound in 1916 he returned to Paris. In 1917 he wrote a poetic manifesto and a collection of poetry. he died of the Spanish Flu the following year in 1918, shortly after marrying Jacqueline Kolb.

    1. noble son of Weohstan Saw the king in danger at his side And displayed his inborn bravery and strength. He left the head alone, but his fighting hand Was burned when he came to his kinsman’s aid. He lunged at the enemy lower down So that his decorated sword sank into its belly 2700 And the flames grew weaker. Once again the king Gathered his strength and drew a stabbing knife He carried on his belt, sharpened for battle. He stuck it deep into the dragon’s flank. Beowulf dealt it a deadly wound. They had killed the enemy, courage quelled his life;

      This entire section about the son of Weohstan is very heroic and it makes the reader start liking him. But sadly, it makes us like his and admire him more than Beowulf.

    1. This involves a combination of authenticated IPFS pinning and thread snapshots. A thread snapshot contains only the metadata and latest known update hash (HEAD) needed to reconstruct the entire thread from scratch, and is encrypted with the client's account key. This means that cafes only issue encrypted backups and are not able to read their clients' threads. This also means that the snapshots are useless if a client loses their account key.

      I think it is not very clear specifically I'm not sure what are the answers to the following questions:

      1. Does cafe replicate all of the account threads or just a special subset ?
      2. What if I want some data to be replicated by cafe A and other data by cafe B and maybe some data not be on any cafe at all ?

      If non-indian fishers were banned altogether from fishing then there would never be an issue with shortages of fish.

    1. Twitter is messing with this equation: I have many more voices in my head than I ever had before.

      This is a terrifying but honest truth about keeping anything public to the people, especially for people who live their life on twitter. I often hear my little brother reply to some of the things I am saying with a "retweet" or a "favorite". While I understand what he is saying, I am disappointed that he has subjected himself to not even using his own words to express how he feels. I imagine that this is comparable to hearing voices in your head, similar to the things you may read on twitter.

    2. Who are the really unlikely tweeters from literary history?

      At this point in time I feel like new generation have become more and more drawn away from writing. Its rare to find someone who enjoys taking the time to create their own ideas and put them into script. Because of this, I feel like any past figures of writing wouldn't possibly settle for tweeting a small sentence or word even to describe all the thoughts and ideas in their head.

    3. The editor Ted Solotaroff wrote an essay called “A Few Good Voices In My Head,” in which he talked about managing this feeling of having an audience. His prescription is summed up in his title: a couple of trusted voices with whom a writer will engage in a dialogue

      In these sentences, the author is showing an example that makes the article have a greater authority and that the recipients can know real cases of the relationship between twiter and writer. In addition, it deals with the idea of the audience, which is a key element for any type of publication. The audience is what often defines success.

    1. A bitter cold wind blows across the wide valley, the kind that tugs at clothing, flapping loose corners like sheets on the clothesline. This kind of wind sandblasts our skin with pebbly- hard snow pellets, forcing our eyes to become slits against its onslaught. I watch the man in the Pendleton vest read from a Bible, his words flying away on a fickle gust, and I move closer to my sister, seeking shelter, if only for a few moments. I glance around the brown- faced group and note that there are about eighty of us huddled together in this rural cemetery, which holds the remains of ancestors buried over hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Unlike other tribes, we weren’t moved here by the U.S. government; we ceded a large portion of our land and lived on the remaining 1,317,000 acres.

      It continues to amaze me how descriptive she is. i am able to picture an image in my head of everything she describes.

    1. The Almighty Judge 180 Of good deeds and bad, the Lord God, Head of the Heavens and High King of the World, Was unknown to them

      This sounds like the speaker is confused about who is his god or who he needs to go to for help. Also when eading this sentence it has a feeling of sorrow or guilt.

    2. Saint Peter

      Saint Peter- Saint Peter the Apostle is the patron saint of many parishes. Saint Peter is also known as Simon Peter or Cephas, Prince of the Apostles, the first pope, and founder, with St. Paul, of the sea of Rome. Saint Peter worked as a fisherman with his brother Andrew, who introduced him to Jesus. Jesus called Peter to become a disciple. Peter appeared in the New Testament more than any other disciple. Peter was at Jesus’s side at the Transfiguration, the raising of Jairus’ daughter, the Agony of the Garden of Gethsemane, and played a major role in the Passion of Jesus. He helped organize the Last Supper, and Jesus gave Peter the famous command to lead the new Church, “Feed my lambs…. Tend my sheep…. Feed my sheep”. With that, Peter served as the head of the Apostles. Saint Peter is mentioned in Dante’s Inferno, because Jesus did not use Simony in choosing his apostles. Since Jesus did not use Simony in choosing his apostles, popes should not use Simony in awarding church offices. Peter is included in Dante’s Inferno through a reference to the Acts of the Apostles. Judas, who was bribed with 30 pieces of silver, killed himself, and had to be replaced. Peter and the remaining apostles did not use Simony in choosing Judas’s successor.

    1. Mehrabian (1981) indicates that immediacy in the interaction between two people "includes greater physical proximity and/or more perceptual stimulation of the two by one another" (p. 14).

      Closeness - relates to social presence as increasing the 'salience' of another. Perception of another as real and the ability to project oneself as 'real'. Add to that non verbal immediacy, and video affords the opportunity to close psychological distance despite physical distance. Video then affords social presence by allowing one to project and be perceived as human BUT it is the application of nonverbal immediacy cues that closes psychological distance in an asynchronous environment where the instructor is at a physical distance from students (proxemics cannot be applied but gestures, head movements, facial expression, voice tone, eye contact, body language and pauses can). Combining verbal cues for social presence with non verbal indicators of immediacy allows instructors to increase 'humanness AND close the psychological distance between a dispersed learning community). Just like Teaching presence is manifested by social presence, non verbal immediacy increases the degree of social presence projected through instructor created video.

But Tom shook his head, saying: 'Be glad, my merry friends, and let the warm sunlight heat now heart and limb! Cast off these cold rags! Run naked on the grass!'The air was growing very warm again.

    5. 'Sam!' he called. 'Pippin! Merry! Come along! Why don't you keep up?'10There was no answer. Fear took him, and he ran back. As he struggled on he called again, and kept on calling more and more frantically. He was weary, sweating and yet chilled. It was wholly dark.'Where are you?' he cried out miserably.There was no reply. He stood listening. He was suddenly aware that it was getting very cold, and that up here a wind was beginning to blow, an icy wind. A change was coming in the weather. The mist was flowing past him in shreds and tatters. His breath was smok­ing.11 He looked up and saw with surprise that faint stars were ap­pearing overhead amid the strands of hurrying cloud and fog. Oat of the east the biting wind was blowing.'Where are you?' he cried again, both angry and afraid.'Here!' said a voice, deep and cold, that seemed to come out of the ground. 'I am waiting for you!''No!' said Frodo; but he did not run away. His knees gave,12 and he fell on the ground. Nothing happened, and there was no sound. Trembling he looked up in time to see a tall dark figure like a shadow against the stars. It leaned over him. He thought there were two eyes, very cold though lit with a pale light that seemed to come from some remote distance. Then a grip stronger and colder than iron seized him. The icy touch froze his bones, and he remembered no more.When he came to himself again, for a moment he could recall nothing except a sense of dread. Then suddenly he knew that he was imprisoned, caught hopelessly; he was in a barrow. A Barrow-wight had taken him, and he was probably already under the dreadful spells of the Barrow-wights about which whispered tales spoke. Hedared not move, but lay as he found himself: flat on his back upon a cold stone with his hands on his breast.As he lay there, thinking and getting a hold on himself, he no­ticed all at once that the darkness was slowly giving way:13 a pale greenish light was growing round him. He turned, and there in the cold glow he saw lying beside him Sam, Pippin, and Merry.There was a loud rumbling sound, as of stones rolling and fal­ling, and suddenly light streamed in. A low door-like opening appeared at the end of the chamber beyond Frodo's feet; and there was Tom's head against the light of the sun rising red behind him.'Come, friend Frodo!' said Tom.

    1. An “A” becomes a sort of seal of congratulatory approval: “Congrats! You nailed my design aesthetic on the head!” while a “B” or “C” becomes a sympathetic foreboding: “Better luck next time.” Not only does this hinder the creativity of students, but it unknowingly forces us into cookie cutter approaches to design.

      Which, if you're designing for someone else, may have some usefulness. But being transparent about that would be important. And probably having that person not just be the professor... Perhaps drawing from a community of people with authentic design needs.

      Some overlap with Nonviolent Communication here, I'm sure. It seems possible that the mapping enters the frame of social complexity itself--what happens when someone disagrees (does not validate what's written) in a way that signals emotional charge? I can think of a number of answers, but all of them call up the kind of complexity the method is designed to address. (Maybe this isn't a problem? Probably creates the potential to deal with that tension head-on?)

      Xerxes is not playing the traditional gender role as man as he now grieves with the chorus about the loss of his men at the hands of the Ionians.

    1. stands out like a sore thumb.

      Captain Occam has hit the nail on the head. This is what the Smith brothers have done, and they have often worked privately to convince administrators -- and media -- of their views. They used impersonation socking to defame and prevent response by their targets.

    1. When Siawosh learned this he was sore downcast in his spirit, and he went unto Farangiss and charged her how she should act when he should be fallen by the hands of Afrasiyab, for he held it vile to go forth in combat with one who had been to him a father. So he made ready his house for death. Now when he came to his steed of battle he pressed its head unto his breast, and he wept over it and spake into its ear. And he said- "Listen, O my horse, and be brave and prudent; neither attach thyself unto any man until the day that Kay-Khosrow, my son, shall arise to avenge me. From him alone receive the saddle and the rein."

      This is very unlike what we typically expect of those in playing the male gender role as well as the hero. Normally we would expect one that is in this role to prepare for a battle and go down swinging, however siowash doesnt do this and in fact accepts his fate as being killed by the hands of Afrasiyab. The fact that one is going to die is not accepted by Gilgamesh until the end of the epic.

    1. And most it seems want to find out what they’re carrying before the baby arrives into a gender-specific world of pink and blue everything from birth announcements to diapers, tiny tees to toys.

      I agree to the author's point that, entitling children to specific trend just because of their gender, isn't morally correct. I believe all of this is simply due to either nowadays social media (such as the Kardashian), or big company's marketing teams, who are trying to promote these stereotype and imprint them in people's head, just so that the people who are parents, or someone who are trying to buy gifts for baby shower parties, can buy their products. In 19th century, boy fashion started trending sailor suits for young boys which contain the color of white and blue. Due to the popularity of this trend, more and more people associated with color blue to boys, thus became popular and wisely used til this very day. However one there is one point, which I would love to express is that, there are reasons for the signs, and the colors that represent these genders. The reason they exist because simply due to the fact people are social animals, they like to communicate, and this is another form of communication. The color blue represents for boys, and the color pink represents for girls, and it has been like this since these two colors have been established as the colors of boys and girls in the 1940s.

    2. And most it seems want to find out what they’re carrying before the baby arrives into a gender-specific world of pink and blue everything from birth announcements to diapers, tiny tees to toys.

      It bothers me a lot to why before birth a baby has to conform to this "gender-specific world" where pink defines a girl and where blue defines a boy. I work with children and all the boys love blue and all the girls love pink. Its like children are having these colors drilled into their head in order to define who they are a female or a male. Every now and then I'll have a little girl who's favorite color is something random like orange. This shows that parents aren't conforming to what society has told us describes a girl and a boy. I've had conversations with individuals that believe that if a little girl likes the color blue when she is little this is automatically eliminating her from being heterosexual. I have no idea how this train of thought even begins nor how people can believe that a color defines your gender.

    1. mounted on goniometer heads, which were in turn fixed on the oscillator dial of the image plate. However since our crystals suffered significant radiation damage at room temperature we decided to attempt cryo-crystallography and collected data at low temperature. Radiation damage to protein crystals is greatly reduced at lower than room temperatures (D. J. Haas, 1970; Low et al., 1966). Primary radiation damage is largely caused by interactions between the molecules in the crystal and the beam. This energy is dissipated in at least two ways; it produces thermal vibrations (heat) and it provides the necessary energy to break bonds between atoms in the molecules. Secondary damage to the crystals is caused by the diffusion of reactive radicals produced due to damage to the protein. This diffusion is aided by the presence of thermal energy. At cryo-temperature of around 1 OOK, thermal damage is limited and also the reactive products are immobilized and do not cause extensive secondary damage in areas of the crystal which are not exposed to the beam (Garman, 1999). For low temperature data collection, the crystals were initially soaked in a cryo-protectant, which was basically the mixture of the mother liquor and antifreeze. We added 30% glycerol to our mother liquor, in which the crystals were soaked from between 1 to 5 minutes to achieve cryo-protection. The crystals were then picked up using a 20Jl nylon loop, which was immediately flash frozen in a stream of nitrogen at 120k at a flow rate of 6 liters/min (Oxford cryo-systems). The crystals were centered in the beam using the two arcs and translations on the goniometer head and by viewing the crystal on the monitor of the attached CCD camera. The collimation, crystal to detector distance, oscillation angle and the exposure time per frame were optimized after a few trial frames in each case.
    1. War and Peace is an awfully complex book. The cast of characters is so convoluted that early editions shipped with full-spread mappings of who was who, to help you keep it straight in you head.

      The reason why many people don't like to read large novels is that they can't remember a large number of character names. In addition, the Russian city name in the book will also cause headaches for many readers who don't understand Russia.

    1. I think that when people play a sport like rugby or football, a bit of that primal energy is released, and people, especially the male players with their testosterone, act especially fiercely when defending their home fields. Because animals and humans are used to defending their offspring, and resources from rivals, it is our nature to defend our turf with ferocity as if our lives depended on it, which of course, they could. When it comes to the athlete-spectator relationship, it makes sense that warriors would feel more confident if they had people who cared about them

      Here, I made the connection between two separate ideas that I had been working towards. In my first draft, I feel like I was being too artificial and linear with my writing, which didn't reflect what was going on in my head. In this draft, I decided to have my writing be more real, as tried to write down what I was thinking about the topic as it was coming to me. I think that this made the essay feel more like an authentic inquiry to me, not just another writing assignment for a class.

    1. Mike just misrepresents and straw mans

      He wasn't talking to you, stoopy-head. The biggest mistake you make with Mike is not stepping aside and letting the community deal with him. Instead you are compelled, and if fucks up your head.

    1. Meanwhile, on Monday, Amy Lappos told the Hartford Courant that Biden had grabbed her by the head and rubbed noses with her in 2009. “It wasn’t sexual,” she said. However, she told the paper, “There’s a line of respect. Crossing that line is not grandfatherly. It’s not cultural. It’s not affection. It’s sexism or misogyny.”

      Second main piece of evidence: Amy Lappos. Both start with their quotes.

    2. “It does matter and it does affect us,” said Lucy Flores, who wrote at the Cut last week that Biden kissed her on the back of the head at a campaign event in 2014, told Vox. “You’re constantly navigating and changing your own behavior in order to avoid those kinds of situations.”

      Next couple paragraphs are the first evidence: Lucy Flores.

    1. Multi-head attention allows the model to jointly attend to information from different representationsubspaces at different positions. With a single attention head, averaging inhibits this.

      So if I understand correctly, with a single head, different parts of the d_model-dimensional query vector may "want" to attend to different parts of the key, but because the weight of the values is computed by summing over all elements in the dot product, it would just average these local weights. Sepparating into different heads, allows to attend to different value vectors for different "reasons".

    1. the cloud’s crystal tear

      The cloud can refer to the body of the rain, specifically its head, as the "crystal tear" is produced from it. Also, this tear is not a sorrowful one like that of the earth, rather it is one of joy further showing the contrasting personalities between the female rain and female earth.

    1. . The silence is so overwhelming I can hear my own heartbeat in my chest. At first, I was almost scared of this silence, since it was so foreign, but I’ve grown to appreciate it, since it’s hard to find moments in my life as a college student where I can be alone with my thoughts.

      The silence is one of the major aspects of this place that makes it special to me. I choose to include this description because I want to show the effect the silence has on my and describe what the silence is like. I did that by labeling the silence as foreign, and slightly uncomfortable, and overtime I have grown to like it because it allows me to sort through the thoughts in my head.

    2. Despite the cubicle like arrangement of the desks, I never feel claustrophobic when I work here because I am very much in my own head.

      I choose to include this in my paper because I find a unique contrast between the physical set up of this place, and my mindset when I am there. When I am sitting at this desk, I am so close to the person next to me that I can reach out and touch them. But I want to highlight that despite this, I get lost in my thoughts. Including this contrast helps me underline that despite being in a very claustrophobic space, my thoughts overtake me.

    1. Some tradition awaits us everyday at the office. I inherited Marlene Barnes as my executive assistant, a widowed lifelong Philadelphian that joined the Sixers in the fall of 1977. I was born in the winter of 1977. Marlene has worked for 11 different GMs and 5 head coachesat the Sixers. The names evoke many memories for you lifelong Sixers fans and students of history like me: Pat Williams, John Nash, Gene Shue, Jim Lynam, John Lucas, Brad Greenberg, Larry Brown, Billy King, Ed Stefanski, Rod Thorn. With us, she was immediately thrown into a new, more entrepreneurial work environment with a boss full ofquirks different than any she had ever encountered. She adapted wonderfully, and now is a regular Slack wizard along with much of our staff, has seamlessly plugged into one productivity hack after another, and has ordered more books from Amazon than she ever thought possible. Herpresence served as an everyday reminder to me of the impermanence of my leadership. I told her within a few weeks of working together that when I see her in the mornings I’m reminded that I am a steward—today’ssteward—of her Sixers.

      Incredible reminder. For Sam, he was a steward of Marlene's sixers. For me, I'm trying to be the best steward possible of Beth's TLB. I see how much it matters to her and how much she believes in it and I find that incredibly moving and motivating.

    1. A writers style can totally change a piece

      Another note about all the questions relating to style: I had just written my writers statement in which I discuss style and that was definitively in my head still. So that caused some of my thinking and definitively influenced the questions I pulled from the ideas that had been there since my original.

    1. They said I have to be careful because they would want to change my faith. Than my father would tell me that the men would just use the women and never really love them. I started to feel the hate, my friends started to go has well because if their parents. We would have so much hate, I wanted them to believe in what I believed in. We would say that they are stupid and where not educated and very dirty people. I felt so bad for the women in their culture to be covered from head to toe because of men. My mother told me that those women were unhappy and forced to be cover from head to toe because of their religion.

      Sadia Zafar helped me understand what people say about other and how they say stereotypes that are not true. They are just making up things from what the heard, they never talked to another person from outside their religion.

    2. “why don’t you like me?” I was stunned by the question and just told her I was quiet. Then she went on to saying that it was not that, she said she can feel the tension in the room and went on and on. Then I finally explode and told her it is because she is Muslim and wears the surf around her head. Sireen looked at me and said “that’s why? This is why you hate me because of my religion?” I told her that they were wrong and that yes this is why I did not like her. Sireen than told me I never hated you or did not want to talk to you because of your religion id your religion is so peaceful and welcoming. Why are you so mean to me? In my religion we do not believe in hating other people because of what they believe.

      In this part Is from Sarah R, Lowe piece in The trauma of discrimination Posttraumatic stress in Muslim American college students. Honestly I could not believe that people still feel this way and i wanted to put this in my writing to show, That this stuff happens all them even up this day.That some Muslim college kids are sacred to go dar away from home.

    1. Faculty salaries have not risen proportionally to these tuition increases

      Collegiate head coaches are among the most highly compensated public employees. They often make much more than the university president.

    1. he increase of virtue in Christ's religion, and for the conservation of the peace, unity, and tranquility of this realm; any usage, foreign land, foreign authority, prescription, or any other thing or things to the contrary hereof notwithstanding.

      This is a really ironic statement, because they are saying that all the bad aspects of Christianity will be erased with the rise of the Church of England. However, the Church of England's founder and head, King Henry VIII, made it to go against what the Pope said, just because he wanted a divorce.

    1. The person in this role must be “enabled and empowered campus-wide so the people understand exactly who this person is and what he or she is doing.” Successful implementation of a COLO position thus depends on adaptability and support from the head of an institution. Senior leadership bears responsibility for communicating how an organization’s overall mission and strategic plan embrace a C-suite-level investment in areas associated with online learning.

      Do people understand exactly who our new Chief Digital Learning Officer is and what he is doing at MSU?

    1. the horns of a stag, head of a camel, eyes of a demon, neck of a snake, belly of a clam, scales of a carp, claws of an eagle, soles of a tiger, ears of a cow, and a lump on top of the head called a Chimu, which it cannot fly without.

      What each body part represents

  9. Apr 2019
    1. supreme head of the same Church belonging and appertaining; and that our said sovereign lord, his heirs and successors, kings of this realm, shall have full power and authority from time to time to visit, repress, redress, record, order, correct, restrain, and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offenses, contempts and enormities, whatsoever they be, which by any manner of spiritual authority or jurisdiction ought or may lawfully be reformed, repressed, ordered, redressed, corrected, restrained, or amended, most to the pleasure of Almighty God

      It seems to be that the King is portrayed in a god like manner, he has high powers and can do almost virtually anything

    1. The fascinating features of the non-human like figures are their non-idealized feminine features. A kind of non-gender dialogue is advocated by the interconnectedness with the invisible others. 

      I'm still stuck on the idea of dresses as promoting a 'non-gender dialogue'. I think you are absolutely right in asserting the alien-like head features of the mannequins but the rest of the bodies are quite traditionally feminine in shape, no?

    1. all things are full of gods

      This is a really interesting sentiment that I can't quite wrap my head around. But I do think that it is important that Schnackenberg is distinguishing between this particular statement and the idea that everything has the potential to be animated. This notion breathes life into literally everything in a very interesting way.
