    1. Think carefully before you post. Anything you share online can stay there a long time, even after you delete it.

      When posting something out in the internet, you have to be careful. Anything and everything stays online even when you delete something.

    2. Social media can allow you to connect with others, both people you’ve met in person and people you meet online.

      Social media is becoming more prominent in both school and out in the world. We text our friends when were bored and we use social media to see those we haven't seen in awhile. Social Media is a great way to connect with new and old friends.

I really hate it that every message sends itself away, running on top of all other windows, and it makes me wait till it has been sent from reading my other messages...
    1. memories do: [:doc | | fileName | fileName := (doc url asString splitOn: $:) last , '.md'. doc file: folder / fileName. doc exportAsFile. ]

      -memories do: [:doc | ... ] es un mensaje keyword do: enviado a la colección memories. El argumento es un bloque de código que se ejecutará para cada elemento de la colección.

      -[:doc | ... ] es el bloque de código que se ejecutará para cada elemento de la colección memories. El argumento doc representa cada elemento individual de la colección.

      -| fileName | es una declaración de variable temporal dentro del bloque. Esta variable fileName solo existe dentro del ámbito del bloque.

      -fileName := (doc url asString splitOn: $:) last , '.md' asigna un valor a la variable fileName.

      -doc file: folder / fileName envía el mensaje keyword file: al objeto doc, pasando como argumento la ruta completa folder / fileName. Esto asigna la ruta de archivo al objeto doc.

      -doc exportAsFile envía el mensaje exportAsFile al objeto doc, lo que probablemente guardará el contenido del objeto doc en el archivo especificado anteriormente.

      The book argues that genes are the primary unit of natural selection, acting selfishly to ensure their own survival. It introduces the concept of "selfish genes" to explain why certain biological traits persist across generations. It further states that organisms can be viewed as vehicles for their genes.

      This article discussed about Pyramid schemes and how the business model work. It states how as more and more people are entering the schemes, it gets harder for them to be profitable and majority of the time to be illegal. I seen many Pyramid schemes during covid, crypto scams and etc. I always knew that there was some sort of hidden secret to them and always wonder how they work. However, I did not know they were illegal.

      This article tells the story of "TikTok stars", and how stressful and damaging that can be. Going viral on TikTok is an invitation for harassment and death threats on and offline, especially for those that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. There are also issues with TikTok's unfair and unclear moderation, which has higher stakes if creators depend on TikTok for their income.

      Oliver Tearle's article explores the origins and meaning of the famous saying: "A lie is halfway around the world before the truth arrives." This quote illustrates how quickly misinformation spreads, while accurate information spreads more slowly. This quote highlights the challenges we face in combating false information and disinformation. In an age dominated by social media and instant messaging, the ability of false information to spread quickly has only increased. The public is drawn to some fake stunts on social media. This reality highlights the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking in our daily lives. It also reminds us that combating the spread of lies and pursuing the truth is what we need to do. Don't be blinded by lies.

      I chose to read "What It Feels Like to Go Viral" from the Pacific Standard. The article detailed examples from sports, feminists, and regular people - like a dad - who all had experiences with going viral. It speaks on how going viral can be an exciting rush, but also create a wave of hate. One example comes from a feminist blogger who had a blog post go viral and received harassment and even death threats. Going viral puts yourself in the position to be seen by everyone and receive an unlimited amount of feedback - whether it is good or bad. This virality may seem short lived to the people who view the post, but for the person behind it - it can be scary and the effects can be life-altering.

    1. Summary of Raph Levien's Blog: "Towards principled reactive UI"

      Introduction

      • Diversity of Reactive UI Systems: The blog notes the diversity in reactive UI systems primarily sourced from open-source projects. Levien highlights a lack of comprehensive literature but acknowledges existing sources offer insights into better practices. His previous post aimed to organize these diverse patterns.
        • "There is an astonishing diversity of 'literature' on reactive UI systems."

      Goals of the Inquiry

      • Clarifying Inquiry Goals: Levien sets goals not to review but to guide inquiry into promising avenues of reactive UI in Rust, likening it to mining for rich veins of ore rather than stamp collecting.
        • "I want to do mining, not stamp collecting."

      Main Principles Explored

      • Observable Objects vs. Future-like Polling: Discusses the importance of how systems manage observable objects or utilize future-like polling for efficient UI updates.
      • Tree Mutations: How to express mutation in the render object tree is crucial, focusing on maintaining stable node identities within the tree.
        • "Then I will go into deeper into three principles, which I feel are critically important in any reactive UI framework."

      Crochet: A Research Prototype

      • Introduction of Crochet: Introduces 'Crochet', a prototype exploring these principles, acknowledging its current limitations and potential for development.
        • "Finally, I will introduce Crochet, a research prototype built for the purpose of exploring these ideas."

      Goals for Reactive UI

      • Concise Application Logic: Emphasizes the need for concise, clear application logic that drives UI efficiently, with reactive UI allowing declarative state expressions of the view tree.
        • "The main point of a reactive UI architecture is so that the app can express its logic clearly and concisely."
      • Incremental Updates: Advocates for incremental updates in UI rendering to avoid performance issues related to full re-renders, highlighting the limitations of systems like imgui and the potential of systems like Conrod, despite its shortcomings.
        • "While imgui can express UI concisely, it cheats somewhat by not being incremental."

      Evaluation of Existing Systems

      • Comparison with Other Systems: Mentions SwiftUI, imgui, React, and Svelte, discussing their approaches to handling reactive UI and their adaptability to Rust.
        • "SwiftUI has gained considerable attention due to its excellent ergonomics in this regard."

      Technical Challenges and Proposals

      • Challenges in Tree Mutation and Stable Identity: Discusses the challenges in tree mutation techniques and the importance of stable identity in UI components to preserve user interaction states.
        • "Mutation of the DOM is expressed through a well-specified and reasonably ergonomic, if inefficient, interface."

      Conclusion and Future Work

      • Future Directions and Experiments: Encourages experimentation with the Crochet prototype and discusses the ongoing development and research in making reactive UIs more efficient and user-friendly.
        • "I encourage people to experiment with the Crochet code."

      This blog post encapsulates Levien's ongoing exploration into developing a principled approach to reactive UI in Rust, highlighting the complexity of the task and his experimental prototype, Crochet, as a step towards solving these challenges.

    1. Paid promotion and ads, where someone pays money to have their content replicated

      A lot of people on social media cares about the "replicate volume", which is how many times the video or article has been forwarding by people. Therefore, if the data is good, more people are likely to look at the content.

    2. There are ways of duplicating that are built into social media platforms:

      There is "duplication" on social media. For example, if I see a funny post on TikTok, I can forward it to my friends and they will see the same thing. There are also variations/mutations. Let's say my friends and I want to shoot a TikTok and upload it online. We will learn the background music or dance of other bloggers. On the basis of these, we will add some extra movements or other things. This kind of "borrowing" is very common on social media. We will find that after a background music or dance becomes popular, everyone will create or imitate it based on it.

    1. p = 0.04 means there is only 4% probability of observing this 5-point difference (in either direction) between the two groups if in fact there was no difference between the groups (i.e., the null hypothesis that the difference is zero). In other words, there is only 4% probability that the differences found between the two groups were just due to chance (i.e., they are not “true differences”).

      These descriptions of a p-value are erroneous. Should be 5 point difference or more; and the p-value is not the probability the difference was "just due to chance".

    2. Results revealed that the heterogeneity of the country of the expresser (but not the perceiver) was related to emotion recognition accuracy, such that expressers from historically heterogeneous cultures made displays that were easier to recognize across cultures. This finding supports the idea that a boost in the signal value of emotion in the face and the voice may constitute an adaptation to the pressure of interacting with individuals with whom one shares few expectations about emotions, and no nuanced emotion language. In other words, the intermingling of people from diverse cultural backgrounds over an extended time period appears to be associated with the use of facial and vocal expressions that are relatively unambiguous and easily decoded by unfamiliar others.

    1. When is it ok to not cite sources for content? When should sources be cited, and how should they be cited?

      I believe that it is okay not to cite sources or content when you are making your own version of the content that is very distinct, or when you drawn inspiration but formulate your own creation. However, I still believe that it is still common courtesy to cite your inspiration or source. I believe that sources should be cited from you are pulling information, use clips or any form of content relating to your content, or when you use something that needs to be credited such as samples and etc.

    1. For the intern, knowing what their job will entail by first completing an internship can make the transition to a full-time position a smooth one

      I see this as a helpful sidenote. if one does an internship, they already have an idea of how the company works and functions. It will make it easier for them to adapt to the environment if they join as a full-time employee than someone who just got accepted with no prior knowledge to the company.

      Judith Butler's Critique: Butler challenges the traditional understanding of the body as an extra-discursive object, arguing that it is constructed through discourse. She asserts that referring to the body presupposes delimiting it within discourse, thereby forming it through discourse itself. Butler sees materiality as an effect of power, emphasizing that the body's materialization is a result of citation and accumulation of regulatory norms over time. Agency and Resistance: Critics argue that constructivist views diminish agency by suggesting determinism. Butler counters by asserting that agency lies in appropriating or rearticulating regulatory norms, implying the potential to produce them differently. She suggests that reiteration of norms doesn't lead to determinism but opens up spaces for resistance, as it exposes instabilities in constructions, allowing for the escape or exceeding of norms. Orientalism and Discursive Construction: Said's analysis of Orientalism is critiqued for allegedly neglecting agency and counter-histories. However, redefining Orientalist discourse as a constitutive practice challenges this criticism. Orientalism is seen not just as constraining or distorting but also as actively constituting subjectivity, enabling resistance to colonial power. The discursive constitution of subjects doesn't imply total pacification but also entails an enabling process. Binaries in Said's Analysis: The passage concludes by suggesting that one of the weaknesses in Said's analysis is its reliance on binaries. Said's portrayal of Orientalism in totalizing terms overlooks its enabling aspects, leading to criticisms about the negation of agency. However, understanding Orientalist discourse as constitutive undermines the notion of theorizing agency outside of it. Overall, the passage explores how discursive constitution shapes our understanding of the body and subjects, challenges deterministic views, and redefines Orientalism as a constitutive practice that both constrains and enables agency.

According to Laclau and Mouffe, tosuggest that the object of discourse is constituted does not imply a rejec-tion of the materialist idea that there is a world external to thought. Nordoes this thesis have anything to do with the opposition between realismand idealism - a trap which Said seems to fall into. What Laclau andMouffe contest is not that there are objects existing in the world, but theassumption that "they could constitute themselves as objects outside anydiscursive condition of emergence."23 Hence, with a restricted notion oflanguage, Said's analysis is bound to consider Orientalist discourse as acollection of images and ideas about the Orient, having no real efficacy inthe construction of its materiality or the Orientalness of the Orient. Suchan understanding runs counter to his continual emphasis on the "creation"and "constitution" or t

    1. An alternative way to remove the All Mail folder would be to login into Gmail webmail using a browser, left click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select Settings, select the Labels tab, find All Mail, click on Hide and uncheck "Show in IMAP". Logout and delete "All Mail." and "All Mail.msf" in the Gmail accounts local directory in the Thunderbird profile.

      How did I not know about this before?

    2. Do NOT try to delete the All Mail folder by deleting its contents. That will delete all of the messages for the account when Thunderbird syncs the folder.
    3. The "All Mail" folder in a Gmail IMAP account has a copy of all messages for that account, doubling the number of messages downloaded for offline folders. Thunderbird tries to download only one copy of a message from a Gmail IMAP account and have the folders point to that copy. However, that doesn't help if the message was created using Thunderbird. [1] If you decide to keep offline folders enabled and have a Gmail IMAP account, uncheck "All Mail" in Tools -> Account Settings -> Account Name -> Synchronization & Storage -> Advanced. As a precaution right click on the Gmail account name in the folder pane, select subscribe in the context menu, expand the folder listing and verify the All Mail folder is not subscribed. Disabling it from being synced should have unsubscribed it. Exit Thunderbird and delete "All Mail." and "All Mail.msf" in the accounts local directory.
    4. If you sometimes want to use some of the disabled features when using a broadband connection consider using two profiles which use common directories outside of the profile to store the messages. One profile would disable features as described below. The other could keep them enabled. That way depending upon which Thunderbird shortcut you use you can easily switch configurations with minimal side effects.

In the 1920s, the dream that every American might be able tobecome rich – not just prosperous, but downright wealthy – began to spread,as the stock market promised that everyone could win the lottery by gamblinga few dollars, just as Broadway and Hollywood suddenly seemed to suggestthat everyone could become a star, or write a hit show.

      Esto parece estar en cierta manera de acuerdo con lo que propone Imre Lakatos sobre que los grandes científicos y académicos cuando algo no cuadra y pone en peligro un paradigma, suelen ignorarlo. Por eso dice que la idea del Falsacionismo de Karl Popper es ingenuo en pensar que falsear una teoría la reevalúa.

    2. Es sorprendente comprobar cuan rara vez ha sido analizadopor anarquistas profesionales el efecto embrutecedor de 'las Leyesde la Razón' o de la práctica científica.

      En este párrafo el pensamiento de Feyerabend, donde el anarquismo epistemológico nos invita a cuestionar y explorar más allá de las limitaciones impuestas por las estructuras racionales y a abrazar la diversidad en la búsqueda del conocimiento.

    3. Tal educación simplifica la 'ciencia'simplificando a sus participantes: en primer lugar se define undominio de investigación. A continuación, el dominio se separa delresto de la historia (la física, por ejemplo, se separa de la meta-física y de la teología) y recibe una 'lógica' propia. Después, unentrenamiento completo en esa lógica condicionada a quienes tra-bajan en dicho dominio.

      Esto hace eco de lo que se planteaba en el mismo epígrafe. Se plantea un orden y ese orden es separador, se vuelve deficiente o por lo menos muestra la deficiencia de comprensión de un mundo a partir de paradigmas que colindan unos con otros y que no dialogan con otros. Para Feyerabend parece ser importante una idea de diálogo y tensión entre disciplinas, abrir a pensar en grandes campos para una mejor investigación científica.

    1. comoapunta el ejemplo, dicho proyecto debería tener en realidaddos aspectos o momentos, si se prefiere: uno etnográfico yotro utópico, en un diálogo constante.

      El centro en el objetivo proyectado por Graeber es precisamente la razón por la que no es un proyecto vanguardista: observar a los otros y sus lógicas simbólicas, morales y pragmáticas; así como imaginar mundos mejores. No se trata de negar lo anterior, ni las instituciones, sino de observar lo innecesarias que son y que no se trata de crear procedimientos, como lo hacen las corrientes de vanguardia.

    2. Los anarquistas no creen en un desarrollo inevitable de la historia ni en que se pueda avanzar más rápidamente hacia la libertad creando nuevas formas de coerción

      No hay finalidades, ni grandes propósitos en la historia que deban ser redirigidos por grupos en lugares de poder.

    3. cualquier teoría social anarquista debería rechazar deforma consciente cualquier indicio de vanguardismo.

      Este rechazo parece extraño, pero se justifica en que el vanguardismo se conforma en élites que deciden qué es lo que se debe comprender y cómo es que se debe proceder para esas comprensiones.

    4. Esto no quiere decir que los anarquistas deban estar con-tra la teoría. Después de todo, el anarquismo es en sí mismouna idea, aunque sea muy antigua. También es un proyecto,que se plantea empezar a crear las instituciones de una nueva sociedad «en el seno de la vieja», poner al descubierto,subvertir y socavar las estructuras de dominio, pero siempreprocediendo de una manera democrática, demostrando deese modo que dichas estructuras son innecesarias.

      La teoría anarquista parece partir de la idea de proponer un contraproyecto a las instituciones establecidas, pero de manera inclusiva, por eso se refiere a que se hace de una manera democrática, puede ser antisistema, pero parte de una idea de revisión de ese sistema y el planteamiento de herramientas que permita un proceso de consenso en la que se incluyan perspectivas diversas y que lleven a compromisos comunes.

    1. This chapter was enjoyable, probably because descriptive writing is my personal favorite. It is interesting how we can expand objective writing by using senses.

    2. We expect to find more objective-sounding descriptions in medical and law enforcement texts.

      More scientific & policy rather than personal.

    3. Our minds latch onto detail and specificity, so effective description can help us experience a story, understand an analysis, and develop more nuance within a critical argument

      Also makes the story more memorable.

    1. When physical mail was dominant in the 1900s, one type of mail that spread around the US was a chain letter

      It's crazy that chain letters were a thing before the internet. I guess it's not to much money and effort to mail a bunch of letters, but definitely more than chain emails/reposts. I wonder who came up with it originally.

    2. The spread of these letters meant that people were putting in effort to spread them (presumably believing making copies would make them rich or help them avoid bad luck)

      I remember being a preteen on Instagram when people would share the chain-mail style posts saying things like "Repost this in 10 minutes and your crush will ask you out tomorrow" or another one with a scary photo of a ghost-like little girl saying "Share this with 10 people or she will get you tonight." It is honestly so ridiculous thinking about how I somehow felt scared by these types of posts. I think young and elderly Internet users are especially vulnerable to bait like this. I am grateful that I am older and wiser and wouldn't fall prey to something like this today. It makes me wonder what new style chain mail might exist in the future when I am older and if I will fall prey to it.

    1. What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly good recommendations for you?

      The chapter's exploration of social media recommendations brings to mind my own experiences with platforms like Spotify and Netflix. I've been pleasantly surprised by how accurately they predict what music or shows I'll enjoy next. It's both impressive and a bit eerie how these algorithms seem to know my tastes better than I do sometimes. However, it also raises concerns about the extent of data collection and the potential for these platforms to influence our choices without us even realizing it.

    2. The method of determining what is shown to users is called a recommendation algorithm, which is an algorithm (a series of steps or rules, such as in a computer program) that recommends posts for users to see, people for users to follow, ads for users to view, or reminders for users.

      Does this work the same way as Cookies? Or are they only for targeted ads specifically?

    3. What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly good recommendations for you?

      When it comes to great experiences with social media referrals, I think Facebook is pretty good. Its algorithms can precisely analyze users' interests and behaviors to tailor recommendations to them. Instagram is also doing a great job of personalizing recommendations based on how users interact with each other and what they watch on a daily basis.

    4. What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly good recommendations for you?

      Whenever I am scrolling through Instagram, I happen upon recommendations for content or advertisements that are composed of the type of content that I would look at on that platform. What concerns me is when I happen upon a recommendation to content that I have never looked for on that platform, but may have talked to someone about that day. It make me paranoid that my phone or devices are listening to my conversations, and whenever I investigate why the platform is showing me that content, it gives me the same generic answer, that is based on the things that I look at on the platform.

    5. The method of determining what is shown to users is called a recommendation algorithm, which is an algorithm (a series of steps or rules, such as in a computer program) that recommends posts for users to see, people for users to follow, ads for users to view, or reminders for users.

      Recommendation algorithms play a crucial role in enhancing user experience across various digital platforms by personalizing content, which can make browsing more relevant and engaging. They help in discovering new content, products, or connections that might not have been found otherwise. For instance, they can suggest movies on streaming platforms or products on e-commerce sites based on user preferences and behavior.

    6. Reddit subreddit options for sort order of posts (according to different algorithm

      I think this is really smart. From a user's experience, they can curate their content timeline in one location by switching how it's sorted by. It's interesting how the sort by titles are only one word, with 3/4 of the words being only 3 letters. With how simple these categories are, is this intuitive enough for users?

    7. What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly good recommendations for you? What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly bad recommendations for you?

      My favorite recommendation is for discovering relevant content based on interests: Social media platforms often use algorithms to analyze users' activities, likes, and interactions to recommend content that aligns with their interests. This can lead to users discovering valuable information, products, or communities they are interested in.

    8. What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly good recommendations for you?

      One good experience is have is TikTok's recommendation algorithm. I think it's very accurate in suggesting content that aligns with my interests. There's times where I would watch a few clips and the algorithm would quickly pick up on it and begins showing me more content related to that.

    1. But science is a social process; the AI folks under­stand this very well. How would AI-generated “raw theory” be channeled into the real world of science and tech­nology? How would you know when your virtual Pauli had a theory worth testing? What if it spat out a million theories, and you had good reason to believe one of them was correct — a real paradigm-buster — but you didn’t know which?

      This is fun because it also gets into the world of "what processes would you want to build around a coworker who had zany and valuable ideas, but whom you didn't totally trust" and/but the exact right boundaries there are going to look very different for an actor who can't respond to social pressure.

    2. This is what digi­ti­za­tion does, again and again: by removing friction, by collapsing time and space, it under­mines our intu­itions about produc­tion and exchange.

      Kashmir Hill's article on Target's predictive analytics is a fascinating case study illustrating the power of data analysis in marketing.

      Elon’s tweet pretty much puts in simple terms how the algorithm works. The more you interact with a specific type or content, the more that type of content will keep showing up on your feed or timeline.

      I think social media platforms need to manage their algorithms more responsibly to reduce the spread of anger and misinformation. Users also have a responsibility to learn to discern and sift through information and not be swayed by emotional content.

      Musk suggests that negative interactions may inadvertently tailor a user's social media experience. This ties into broader discussions on the feedback loops created by algorithmic content delivery. It's fascinating, yet somewhat alarming, how these mechanisms can amplify certain types of engagement, potentially creating an echo chamber effect. It makes me wonder about the long-term implications of such design choices on public discourse and individual well-being. Have the authors of this chapter considered the psychological impacts of this feature, and if so, how do they propose users manage or mitigate such effects?

    5. A parents' lawsuit accuses Amazon of selling suicide kits to teenagers.

      This article by NPR, discusses the lawsuit that two families of parents put up against Amazon after their children had killed themselves due to a purchase made of sodium nitrate off the website. The sodium nitrate that the two children had purchased was deemed to be lethal at just a teaspoon of ingestion. Sodium nitrate is a chemical used to cure meats at micro-doses; hence why the parents of the two children argue that this sort of chemical substance shouldn't be accessible on a site like Amazon. It was later revealed that the same supplier of sodium nitrate that the two teenagers used for suicide, also had 10 other people who bought sodium nitrate from the same seller with the same intention (suicide) within the past two years.

      In this article, the author discusses the success of TikTok and explains how its algorithm is nothing different than those we have seen on other social media platforms. What sets TikTok apart from other platforms is its unique design, more specifically its scrolling feature, vertical video format, and short-length video content. The author adds on that the algorithm allows for users to experience a wide range of content, letting them learn and enjoy different content than they are used to. Moreover, the author emphasizes the importance of the quality of design and user experience is what creates a successful social media platform.

      This source is talking about Facebook's default setting that allows anyone to look up a user profile based on the phone number used for two-factor authentication has sparked concerns about privacy and security. Users are unable to opt out of this setting, leading to criticism about Facebook's use of phone numbers as a unique identifier across platforms and its potential impact on user privacy. This article actually makes me wonder about the balance between security measures and user privacy. The question is, how can platforms like Facebook ensure both security and privacy without compromising one for the other?

    1. Recommendation algorithms can make this even works. For example: At one point, Facebook counted the default “like” reaction less than the “anger” reaction, which amplified negative content [k17].

      This particular instance of algorithmic influence on user interaction with content is both compelling and distressing. It highlights how social media platforms, while engineered to engage users, may inadvertently prioritize divisive content.

    2. echo chambers increase polarization

      I find this statement to be true across social media sites, especially Twitter and Instagram. Recommendation algorithms can be really good at reinforcing the same idea or form of content, especially if a user interacts with it on a frequent basis. Their feeds end up becoming so personalized that it has to at some point, become opinionated. This matter is okay when it comes to things like animals and cooking videos, but when there's no diversity of posts that contains news or important pieces of content that are meant to inform, a user's ability to learn and make productive conversations when it comes down to discussing important topics, is then hindered. I agree that social media isn't necessarily the best place to follow for news, but it's a start and people can train themselves to be able to know when a piece of information is credible or not. Keeping yourself informed in a world that's already so polarized is vital to be able to not have this translate over to social media (which it already has).

    1. Once these algorithms are in place though, the have an influence on what happens on a social media site.

      Recommendation algorithms can be quite concerning, as they have the potential to lead individuals down a rabbit hole of questionable content on the internet. Unfortunately, my grandmother experienced firsthand the negative effects of YouTube's recommendation algorithm. Initially watching political news from Korea, she gradually found herself drawn to videos that appeared to present inaccurate information. Over time, she became deeply immersed in the realm of fake news on YouTube. My uncle warned me never to discuss politics with her, as she tends to become very controversial on the topic. It's truly alarming to witness the influence of these algorithms, particularly on older individuals who may be less knowledgeable about navigating social media safely and fact-checking information.

      Transcriptomics: * Techniques used to study an organism's transcriptome, the sum of all of its RNA transcripts. * Can provide insight into gene expression.

    1. Dear Reader, I am a volunteer and intern at Make-A-Wish. Make-A-Wish is a philanthropy that grants children with a critical illness a wish. These wishes can be to meet someone, to get something, and more. Wish coordinators make sure that children get what they want. Make-A-Wish also has meetings with the families before and after, to make sure the children are alright. Due to donations and fundraising, Make-A-Wish can make wishes come true for children suffering from life threatening illnesses. Thank you, Emma Cassidy

      it would be helpful to give some background about who would recieve the letter and where it would be posted.

    1. However, what other people think of our work does matter.

      I like this commentary in regards to what others think of our work. We can only grow as researchers and expand upon the current discourse by disagreeing improving the current research.

    1. Your choice of problem, theory, methodology, and method impact the kinds of evidence you will be seeking. Wendy Belcher identifies the following types:

      Research skills are all about evidence. Evidence can include qualitative, quantitative, historical, geographic, textual, and artistic. I'm mostly familiar with qualitative and quantitative but I think exploring other avenues of evidence for research is incredibly interesting.

      what happened to the amazing people i look them up and only find this exact article? is it because of the time age?

    2. Dorothy C. Battys, Librarian

      Are Dorthy and Mary sisters? or related in some sorts?

    3. Resolved, that this Society shall be governed

      having Govern is good for society and unions of these sorts it gives distinct jobs with no confusion and everyone knowing there roles so everyone doesn't try to be everyone superior

    4. Any member who wishes to speak is allowed the privilege: when any member speaks, there shall be no interruption.

      GOOD!!! this is really good especially with the group setting of people that will be encountered with meeting. Talk over 1. doesn't let the person talk and 2. start making people feel as if they aren't heard

    1. When we try to solve important problems, we advance our knowledge. A problem can be technical like how to design a bridge that withstands wind pressure and soil erosion; philosophical like how to understand the nature of being; economic like how to make our resources go further; political like how to ensure the rights of immigrants; or historical like how to understand why the U.S. government incarcerated approximately 120,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II.

      Problems are not always a bad thing to have, and can actually be a good thing when it comes to research due to our ability to expand upon our knowledge and understanding of the world. This can take place through philosophical, technical, political, or historical means.

      this is an extremely creative formula for a poem, i really like 7/8 stanzas being romantic and in adoration of someone, where the final line comes to reveal that maybe the author has some true feelings shining through. This poem is relatable and words this specific feeling better than any other poem surrounding this topic i've read
