People who move to an intentional community go through a period of major cognitive and emotional readjustment as they question formerly held beliefs and forge new social understandings

the same can be said about people exploring their untapped sexuality

Members mainly identified as white and middle-class, as in past research in similar communities

egalitarian intentional communities are white spaces

I used participant observation, content analysis, and in-depth interviews to investigate two egalitarian intentional communities from 2006 to 2007

author conducted a two-year study of an intentional community that practiced polyamory, using participant observation and comprehensive interviews as their preferred methods of research.

Feminism and the tenets of polyamory overlap significantly in that both connect monogamy and patriarchal ownership of women, and both empha-size women’s sexual agency and liberation

feminism and polyamory both challenge the patriarchy and emphasize the woman's free sexual movement

Discourse on polyamory in the 1990s emerged at the intersection of several progressive social movements, including several “waves” of feminism chal-lenging institutionalized heterosexual monogamy as the dominant relation-ship mode

A discussion of polyamory requires a discussion of feminism.

These social constructs of gender affect the differences in value men and women place on monogamy

author points out how social constructs create different experiences of monogamy for men and women

Dominant cultural scripts suggest that weddings, a celebration of lifelong monogamy, should be the “happiest day” of people’s lives

no pressure... and is it really the happiest day of most of our lives? As a highly individualistic species, why is there are pressure to have the same hallmark experiences?

beliefs that marriage represents a normal part of the life course and that people are naturally monogamous serve to reproduce monogamy as a hegemonic discourse and practice

marriage is billed as a requirement in western society

this is a very good point that I often overlook as well

Science is in conflict with narratives, yet whenever science goes outside of making denotative statements, it legitimates the rules of its own language games through a discourse called philosophy.

Science is considered a philosophy. It is defined as a way of knowing the world based on the belief that natural, predictable causes that can be revealed by empirical evidence. So philosophy goes hand in hand as it generated science to pretty much give higher thought and influences science by bringing attention to all it is weak at while surrounding it with question.

Thus, Lyotard calls for giving the public free access to memory and data banks.

I think Lyotard is saying that knowledge should be accessed by all people. Knowledge should not be limited to specific groups. There should be no rules are restrictions to the beauty of what knowledge brings.

Knowledge is more than a set of denotative statements, but also competence (know-how), “knowing how to live,” “how to listen,” etc., and it conforms to consensus of a social circle of “knowers.”

Knowledge is more than just a set of rules or guidelines that we are taught to believe knowledge is what helps us grow and succeed in living and problem solving.

Knowledge is no longer an end in itself

You never stop learning, knowledge is infinite. In the context of higher education, once you graduate, that is not the of your path to knowledge. You can never stop learning.

language games free us from the two modern representational models

Language games seem more as a restriction because there are so many different language games for different social bonds/ ideas. It doesn't make sense that it free's us I think it limits us.

subject is changed from the people or humanity to the “speculative spirit,” which makes the “game of legitimation” philosophical.

Knowledge is not related to its usefulness, but instead to its spirit. This spirit refers to a certain position in the Encyclopedia that is accounted by speculative discourse. And with spirit comes philosophy because you're now thinking of knowledge as a single unit or something set in stone, but instead at an every changing spirit that needs to be studied deeper.

“Legitimation is the process by which a legislator dealing with scientific discourse is authorized to prescribe the stated conditions…determining whether a statement is to be included in that discourse for consideration by the scientific community.”

The meaning of knowledge is specified by arguing forces of power, authority, and government. The author draws an equivalent between the process of legitimation in politics and in science, they both need power figure or lawgiver to specify if a statement is acceptable to enter the round of dialogue for consideration.

Rather than grand narratives, little narratives

Lyotard explains little narratives are the "quintessential form of imagination." It is the place where dialogue can occur and work off other people to process information and come to a conclusion. It follows the adage two heads are better than one. When two people are in agreement and are exclusively working together for the sake of knowledge to come to the most probable right answer. As mentioned in previous chapters those that control the power, and therefore money, control what is being studied and can lead to directed conclusions due to bias and their own motives. Small dialogues are best when they are free from bias and control and are easily legitimized.

The modern offers two options: functional whole or divided in two.

Lyotartd is very convinced of his views being right. It was this or that and no in between with him. He also tries to connect to his audience by bringing an alternative modern method.

Science knowledge and narrative knowledge do not possess the basis to judge each other’s validity

Science, and narrative knowledge are different, therefore they can not be judged by each other because they have different valid reasons on why they are correct.

In short, traditional narratives are “legitimated by the simple fact that they do what they do.”

A narrative becomes legitimized just by being the narrator. The information is transfered to the listener who then gains the knowledge. Meter and repetition, as well as following the culture's rules, allow it to acceptable.

Thus, the process of delegitimation was fueled by the demand for legitimation itself, and universities lost their function as speculative legitimation and emphasized the need for teachers, not researchers. There is also an intrinsic erosion in the narrative of emancipation, but it differs from that of the speculative discourse; when science plays its own language game, it is incapable of others, such as prescriptions, and cannot legitimate itself. In postmodernity, there is a recognition of multiple language games and a sense of “splintering,” and nobody can speak all the distinct discourses, and no universal metalanguage can join them.

Delegitimization is still present in today's society; especially in politics. For example, presidential candidates are always trying to delegitimize claims against them and legitimize their claim in order to persuade people to vote for them.

Preliminary question need to answer before discussing knowledge in highly developed society: what representational model of society are we using?

Lyotard is basically stating that to understand the essence of knowledge in modern society we must also understand how our society works.

12.

Just a little extra side note, I believe that the duty of modern education is to not only teach students necessary information but to teach students how to quickly adapt to an ever-changing world where information may be obsolete overnight and how to continually themselvs in a diverse society.

Knowledge management is one of the most recent trends to have affected the field of instruc- tio

I think I need to know more about knowledge management.

nother factor that affected the field during the 1990s was the growing interest in construc- tivism, a collection of similar views (labeled, by some, as a theory) of learning and instruction that gained increasing popularity throughout the decade. The instructional principles associ- ated with constructivism include requiring learners to (a) solve complex and realistic prob- lems; (b) work together to solve those problems; (c) examine the problems from multiple perspec- tives; (d) take ownership of the learning process (rather than being passive recipients of instruc- tion); and (e) become aware of their own role in the knowledge construction proce

This learning theory is so much different than behaviorism. Behaviorism is mostly about how a teacher teaches, constructivism is more about how learners are responsible for their own learning.

A factor that did have a major effect on instructional design practices in the 1980s was the increasing interest in the use of microcom- puters for instructional purposes.

In the 1980s, I wonder if educators and psychologists realized how much influence computer technology would have on instructional design.

which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.

These lines deal with the poem's theme of perception versus reality. The speaker describes a "calm" (1) sea, a "tranquil bay" (5), and "sweet...night air" (6). These images all seem charming and serene but instead upon closer recognition, this place is indicative of the world's insincerity and coldness. The speaker calls upon his love to "listen" (9) to experience the true reality of this place. In these lines this theme of perception vs. reality is highlighted more thoroughly as Arnold's speaker mentions this world "which seems" (30) beautifully promising but is really not. The poem addresses the notion that awareness often leads to pain. The poem concludes with an image of "ignorant armies" (36) clashing by night. This could be an allusion to war. The fact that these armies are ignorant implies a lack of awareness at the violence and bloodshed they are perpetuating. Arnold's speaker, unlike these ignorant armies, is aware of the polemic aspects of his society and calls upon his love to reach this awareness as well because it is painful, but necessary.

But let the storm rage on! Let the fresh wreaths be shed! For the Roncesvalles’ field is won,— There slumber England’s dead. 

Without having further context, it seems as if Hemans is adapting a militaristic and "patriotic" voice who expresses an insensitivity towards the lives lost in war. This voice calls for the storm to "rage on" and alludes to the "Roncesvalles' field" being won. This voice is enthusiastic and appears to be pleased with the fact that England won this battle in Spain. However, Hemans creates an image a field that is not triumphant and glorious but instead a burial ground where "England's dead" slumber. Hemans' phrase "England's dead" could perhaps be an attempt to hold the nation-state accountable for the death of these soldiers. These men are "England's" and the nation did not protect their lives but instead made them die under the guise of patriotism and expansionism.

"There's no question this is a hard-power budget," Mulvaney also said Wednesday. "It is not a soft-power budget. This is a hard-power budget. And that was done intentionally."

I have mixed feeling about this new budget. On 1 hand America is facing North Korea who now has acquired Nuclear capabilities, but these cuts in environmental protection is very bad.

Alongside Defense, the agencies for which the White House proposes spending increases are almost entirely military- and national security-related. The Department of Homeland Security would see a hike in funding of 6.8 percent, as would the Department of Veterans Affairs (5.9 percent) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (11.3 percent).

1. Military related department will be receiving greater funding by the government. This is due to the rising threat of North Korea and conflicts in South China sea.

The budget says that slash in funding is necessary "to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose significant costs for workers and consumers without justifiable environmental benefits."

1. The environment program and foreign aid would take the biggest hit by this new budget. Also other government sectors like the health institute would get a decrease in funding

Ad hoc polymorphism: when a function denotes different and potentially heterogeneous implementations depending on a limited range of individually specified types and combinations. Ad hoc polymorphism is supported in many languages using function overloading. Parametric polymorphism: when code is written without mention of any specific type and thus can be used transparently with any number of new types. In the object-oriented programming community, this is often known as generics or generic programming. In the functional programming community, this is often shortened to polymorphism. Subtyping (also called subtype polymorphism or inclusion polymorphism): when a name denotes instances of many different classes related by some common superclass.[3] In the object-oriented programming community, this is often referred to as simply Inheritance.

个人认为 这里其实 ad hoc 和 subtype 是有相近之处的 都是一样东西 比如 function 或者 object, 我们使用不同的角度去看 比如 不同 parameter 和 type 可以得到(部分)不同(也可能相同)的实现. (其实对于 object 应该是相同?) 这里倾向于去利用一个东西 as a user

Interesting section

“I am glad to see that you have money,” said Henry, “you are thereby wellqualified for your mission.

Most slaves believed that God and faith was the most important thing to have when planning on escaping, here Henry believes it's money which is also very rational as well.

 “Andy,” said Henry, “let us have a word of prayer first!”

Is his faith back with God?

with suchfeelings as only an intelligent slave could realize.

this pretty much shows the difference between an old slave and a new one. An older slave would never think of going against their master.

Placed in positions the most favorable towitness the pleasures enjoyed by others, the tendency is only to augment theirown wretchedness

During Mardi Gras many of the African Americans were allowed freedom for the event. The steamers on the other hand were just forced to watch the excitement and enjoyment of everyone while they were still doing slave work.

“I am glad to see that you have money,” said Henry, “you are thereby wellqualified for your mission.

On many accounts Henry tell the slaves that having money will make their escape easier. It seems as if he believes money is an important factor in their journey to getting freedom.

Sampson and his wife were both pious people, believing much in theProvidence of God, he, as he said, having recently had it “shown to” him—meaning a presentiment—that a messenger would come to him and reveal theplan of deliverance

Henry seemed to have been the messenger sent from God that Sampson and his wife had envisioned. It almost seems as if Henry will be their savior.

I once did believe in religion, but now Ihave no confidence in it. My faith has been wrecked on the stony hearts

This is pretty straight forward on how he feels about religion. It shows that he doesn't believe in it anymore. He doesn't believe because his faith has been shattered by bad things that have happened to him during slavery.

“Religion!” replied Henry rebukingly. “That's always the cry with blackpeople. Tell me nothing about religion when the very man who hands you thebread at communion has sold your daughter away from you!

Henry doesn't like religion because it is taught by masters, slave owners and people that sell slaves and tear apart families.

Before Henry left they insisted upon, and anointed him a priest of the orderof High Conjurors, and amusing enough it was to him who consented tosatisfy the aged devotees of a time-honored superstition among them. Theirsupreme executive body called the “Head” consists in number of seven agedmen, noted for their superior experience and wisdom. Their place of officialmeeting must be entirely secluded, either in the forest, a gully, secluded hut,an underground room, or a cave.

He is playing into their superstitions and religious beliefs in order to gain their trust.

“Don't tell me about religion! What's religion to me? My wife is sold awayfrom me by a man who is one of the leading members of the very church towhich both she and I belong! Put my trust in the Lord! I have done so all mylife nearly, and of what use is it to me? My wife is sold from me just the sameas if I didn't.

This shows that Henry doesn't depend on religion. He thinks that God really hasn't been there for him because of what happened to his wife.

The “Head” seemed, by the unlimited power givenhim, to place greater reliance in the efforts of Henry for their deliverance thanin their own seven heads together.  “Go, my son,” said they, “an' may God A'mighty hole up yo' han's an' grantus speedy 'liverence!

This just re-emphasizes the comparison between Henry and Moses. It is interesting to see him compared to such a religious figure when he is so anti-Christianity.

 “Arm of the Lord, awake! Renew my faith, confirm my hope, perfect me inlove. Give strength, give courage, guide and protect my pathway, and directme in my course!” Springing to his feet as if a weight had fallen from him, hestood up a new man.

After our class discussion earlier in the week involving the difference between praying to the "Lord," and the "Divine," it seems even more important that he has suddenly decided to start praying in this way.

though he was aware he could read and writ

Knowing that he could read and write shows that he was an advanced slave because most slaves couldn't read or write.

it is useless for me to stand here and have the same gospelpreached into my ears by you

Basically, I think he is saying how could he worship the same God that all of his masters have worshiped when God has allowed them to treat them the way that they do.

“Arm of the Lord, awake! Renew my faith, confirm my hope, perfect me inlove. Give strength, give courage, guide and protect my pathway, and directme in my course!” Springing to his feet as if a weight had fallen from him, hestood up a new man.

It is interesting to see him praying and asking the Lord for help, after denouncing Christianity earlier in the novel.

First, we must help teach the teachers.

YES

In 1999 74 percent of full-time students worked while attending college, and nearly half of them worked at least 25 hours a week.

Compare that to now...working 10 hours a week on top of a full course load is stress on top of stress

Because many high schools don’t do their jobs, 53 percent of college students, including those who attend community colleges, require remedial courses.

This is sad to me

And when people do not know how to question deeply, to separate fact from fiction, and to give coherence and meaning to life, they can feel a deeply unsettling emptiness in their lives. Sometimes that vacuum is filled by esoteric ideas, cults, and extremist programs

Do we know ourselves if we never question deeply? I feel like the best way to get to know your true self is to ask questions, and not little questions. Ask yourself questions like what is the meaning of your own life? Who controls it?

Colleges are becoming academic superstores, vast collections of courses, stacked up like sinks and lumber for do-it-yourselfers to try to assemble on their own into a meaningful whole.

Really accurate. If you have a good advisor, you are lucky and they help you with deciding classes and what is best for you. College isn't about the learning, it is about passing the class to get the degree

But a major failure of our higher-education system is that it has largely come to serve as a job-readiness program. Instead of helping students learn and grow as individuals, find meaning in their lives, or understand their role in society, college has become a chaotic maze where students try to pick up something useful as they search for the exit: the degree needed to obtain decent employment.

Couldn't agree more with this. In the program I was previously in, it was all about doing what you could to pass the class and prepare for exactly what the job wanted you to do. It was never about building yourself.

More information on shark movements and relative abundance in different management zones is needed to understand the extent to which marine reserves benefit Caribbean reef sharks and reef sharks in general.

Many students simply want to know what their professors want and how to give that to them.

This relates to how I feel in almost all of my classes ever taken. You read the syllabus and get the work done to pass the class.

Students would frame, curate, share, and direct their own “engagement streams” throughout the learning environment.4

I love that the student has the power in this idea. We dictate our own lives.

As part of the first-year orientation, each student would pick a domain name. Over the course of the first year, in a set of lab seminars facilitated by instructional technologists, librarians, and faculty advisors from across the curriculum, students would build out their digital presences in an environment made of the medium of the web itself.

This is such a smart idea. I wish that my school had something like this during freshman orientation. After four years of school, I would have loved to have my own domain to continue to add my work too.

Environments are not passive wrappings but active processes.

Agreed. Your environment around you is constantly changing. I believe that it's all a part of the process

In order to study the evolutionary processes involved in habitat specialization and the role of insect herbivores, an ideal study system would include recently derived sister species, or diverging lineages undergoing incipient speciation in different habitats.

You need to mention that this is the goal of the paper.

Nick

A long-standing hypothesis has linked escalation in plant defense that allows escape from insect herbivores to range expansion and speciation (Ehrlich and Raven 1964). Such escalation can include increases in the diversity of defense strategy (novel defense types), increases in the total amount of defense investment, or both (Agrawal et al. 2009). Range expansion, or merely an imperfect match between the distribution of plants and their natural enemies, may confront plants with different herbivore assemblages and/or variation in habitat resources across their range (Thompson 2005, Züst et al. 2012). This variation, in turn, may accelerate the evolution of differing defense strategies across habitats. Alternatively, natural enemies may not be major selective agents driving habitat specialization. In this case, we would predict that there would be few qualitative and quantitative defense differences between habitats, especially when diverging lineages of host plants occur in close proximity and also experience some gene flow across the habitat boundary.

This is an important paragraph with no annotations. You guys need to summarize the ideas here. If you need help, contact me.

Nick

herbivore to circumvent or detoxify defenses

give an example here. Look at the monarch butterfly caterpillar on its milkweed host for instance. how do they protect themselves from being killed by the plants toxins?

Nick

physical and chemical defenses

define some of these. What are some physical and chemical defenses of plants?

Nick

But little is known about the mechanisms underlying the evolution of habitat specialization and the extent to which herbivores contribute to phenotypic divergence during the speciation process

Although your paper doesn't have a clear hypothesis, the authors have a clear goal. This is the goal of the paper, to fill this gap in knowledge. You should write that here.

Nick

Herbivores play an important role in habitat specialization because they can magnify the differences in resource availability across habitats

elaborate a little here by reading the sources that the author is citing here. how do herbivores magnify the differences in resource availability across habitats?

in positions to directly influence K–16 education

What might be the research, practise gaps they discover and how these gaps may inspire them to advance the development of the field?

but the occupation reported as having the largest number of former master’s students was kindergarten–Grade 12 (K–12) teacher. These results demonstrate that master’s degree graduates in learning sciences have the potential to influence practice in a diverse range of applied settings.

Considering that 31% of master graduates are in the K-12 teachers or educational leaders and administrators, it would be interesting to see what would happen if they implement the learning theories into their classrooms and schools.

using the style tag and writing the CSS inside it or by using the link tag to link to a style sheet. Either of these tags go in the head portion of your HTML. 

How to include CSS in a page/site. Goes in the Head

1. Use <style> tag or</li> <li>Use <link> tag that points to a style sheet.</li> </ol> </style>

One of those themes was reusability. You could describe a style once in CSS and reuse it across multiple elements or even multiple web pages. 0:31Another of those themes was maintainability. Being able to efficiently change your web page in response to changing design requirements. 

Why CSS

1. Reusability
2. Maintainability

because I am more destructible than some other men, I must seek all the more to derive some advantage from what has a destructive effect on me … I must accept it in advance as indispensable material, without which my most inward being cannot ever entirely present itself. I must assimilate it, to arrange it … as shadows to my light … as subordinate tones among which the tone of my soul springs out all the more livingly

Here the writer trying to say before he write a poem he should assimilate all the destructible habits. He must derive all the good habits which make his soul living,because a poem is like a painting. A poet and a painter does the almost the same thing, they give messages to the society with their work. That's why when they start to create something for the society they should have a soul which is honest and living.

there appeared unto her a thing somewhat bigger than a mouse, of a brown color, when she lived at Titsmarsh in the county of Northampton, she being in bed and asleep, which nipped her on the breast and awakened her, then it told her that it must have part of her soul: she prayed then to God, and it left her at that time, and the said informant heard the said Anne further say, that about five or six days after, the same mouse appeared again to her with another much like the former, it being a little less than the former, and had a white belly. Then the mouse that came first said, we must abide with you and suck your blood.

This looks like schizophrenia. She seems to be describing delusions and hallucinations. The delusions and hallucinations of many people with schizophrenia involve dark and scary themes like this.

Rule III. The qualities of bodies which admit neither intension nor remission of degrees and which are found to belong to all bodies within the reach of our experiments are to be esteemed the universal qualities of all bodies whatsoever.

It is with thought that we assume that physics and chemistry are universal. We can watch a distant part of our galaxy and use the science we learned here to what we see there, even though we'll never be able to actually go there. In this way, we can learn a lot about places that we can't visit.

Clarke said to this informant, I do not believe you are a witch, for I never saw you at our meetings: who answered, that perhaps their meetings were at several places, and so fell out and parted.

Since this entire report is based on what an informant said, it could all be lies.
