Although there was little time and opportunity to collect hard data regarding the effectof these films on the performance of military personnel, several surveys of military instructorsrevealed that they felt the training films and filmstrips used during the war were effective trainingtools ( ). Apparently, at least some of the enemy agreed; in 1945, after the warSaettler, 1990ended, the German Chief of General Staff said: “We had everything calculated perfectly exceptthe speed with which America was able to train its people. Our major miscalculation was inunderestimating their quick and complete mastery of film education”

Most Chinese words are made of one or more characters. For comparison, the English alphabet uses 26 letters and the average American has a practical vocabulary of about 10,000 words.

Chinese language is based on characters rather than on an alphabet, and is said to be the world’s oldest continually-used writing system.

During his three-decade reign, China’s population recovered from plague and famine, and grew from 60 to 100 million.

Young men who wanted to become civil administrators in China entered training schools that concentrated on calligraphy and the teachings of Confucius. Calligraphy in China equaled literacy.

Zhu Yuanzhang called himself the Hongwu Emperor (expansive and martial) and made Nanjing his capital. Imperial titles like “Hongwu” relate to the reign of each emperor, in which they declare the nature of their particular rule.  These titles are not the actual name of the emperor, but this is how they are known in Chinese history.

Confucian ideas about conduct focus on five basic virtues: seriousness, generosity, sincerity, diligence, and kindness.

China held a monopoly on the creation of silk, which was a closely-held state secret for millennia, and led the world in iron, copper, and porcelain production as well as a variety of technological inventions including the compass, gunpowder, paper-making, mechanical clocks, and moveable type printing.

The social stability that allowed Chinese culture to produce these innovations was based on not only the imperial form of government, but on an elaborate system of professional civil service. The early establishment of a professional administrative class of “scholar-officials” was a remarkable element of imperial Chinese rule that made it more stable, longer-lasting, and at least potentially less oppressive than empires in other parts of the world.

Heritability estimates were close to one for shell size and relative shell aperture, suggesting a low impact of environmental factors in embryos. Estimates of Qst between ecotypes were significant and typically much higher than published Fst estimates from neutral markers, indicating a role for selection on shaping additive genetic variation. Estimates of Pst between ecotypes for adults were substantially larger than embryos´ Qst, suggesting also a role of phenotypic plasticity in ecotype differentiation. Our results suggest that Pst vs Fst comparisons should be taken with caution because they might not reflect real additive genetic effects, but Pst vs Qst comparisons could shed light into the role of phenotypic plasticity.

With growth in the use of communication technology in various aspects of social work practice, social workers need to be aware of the unique challenges that may arise in relation to the maintenance of confidentiality, informed consent, professional boundaries, professional competence, record keeping, and other ethical considerations.

Social workers pursue social change, particularly with and on behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals and groups of people. Social workers’ social change efforts are focused primarily on issues of poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and other forms of social injustice. These activities seek to promote sensitivity to and knowledge about oppression and cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers strive to ensure access to needed information, services, and resources; equality of opportunity; and meaningful participation in decision making for all people.

Social workers treat each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers promote clients’ socially responsible self-determination.

The Code socializes practitioners new to the field to social work’s mission, values, ethical principles, and ethical standards, and encourages all social workers to engage in self-care, ongoing education, and other activities to ensure their commitment to those same core features of the profession.

Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice.

Print Picture books are not usually the stuff of Supreme Court rulings. But on Friday, a majority of justices ruled that parents have a right to opt their children out of lessons that offend their religious beliefs — bringing the colorful pages of books like “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding” and “Pride Puppy” into the staid public record of the nation’s highest court.The ruling resulted from a lawsuit brought by parents in Montgomery County, Md., who sued for the right to remove their children from lessons where LGBTQ+ storybooks would be read aloud in elementary school classes from kindergarten through 5th grade. The books were part of an effort in the district to represent LGBTQ+ families in the English language arts curriculum.In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that schools must “notify them in advance” when one of the disputed storybooks would be used in their child’s class, so that they could have their children temporarily removed.

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor even reproduced one, “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” in its entirety. Here are the nine books that were the subject of the case:Pride PuppyAuthor: Robin Stevenson Illustrator: Julie McLaughlin Book “Pride Puppy” published by Orca Book Publishers. (Orca Book Publishers) “Pride Puppy,” a rhyming alphabet book for very young children, depicts a little girl who loses her dog during a joyful visit to a Pride parade. The story, which is available as a board book, invites readers to spot items starting with each of the letters of the alphabet, including apple, baseball and clouds — as well as items more specific to a Pride parade.Lawyers representing the parents said in their brief that the “invites students barely old enough to tie their own shoes to search for images of ‘underwear,’ ‘leather,’ ‘lip ring,’ ‘[drag] king’ and ‘[drag] queen,’ and ‘Marsha P. Johnson,’ a controversial LGBTQ activist and sex worker.”The “leather” in question refers to a mother’s jacket, and the “underwear” to a pair of green briefs worn over tights by an older child as part of a colorful outfit.

(macmillan) The story describes a little girl named Violet with a crush on another girl in her class named Mira, who “had a leaping laugh” and “made Violet’s heart skip.” But every time Mira tries to talk to her, Violet gets shy and quiet.On Valentine’s Day, Violet makes Mira a special valentine. As Violet gathers the courage to give it to her, the valentine ends up trampled in the snow. But Mira loves it anyway and also has a special gift for Violet — a locket with a violet inside. At the end of the book, the two girls go on an adventure together.Lawyers for the parents describe “Love, Violet” as a book about “two young girls and their same-sex playground romance.” They wrote in that “teachers are encouraged to have a ‘think aloud’ moment to ask students how it feels when they don’t just ‘like’ but ‘like like’ someone.” Advertisement Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named PenelopeAuthor: Jodie Patterson Illustrator: Charnelle Pinkney Barlow Book “Born Ready” published by Random House. (Random House) In “Born Ready,” 5-year-old Penelope was born a girl but is certain they are a boy. “I love you, Mama, but I don’t want to be you. I want to be Papa. I don’t want tomorrow to come because tomorrow I’ll look like you. Please help me, Mama. Help me be a boy,” Penelope tells their mom. “We will make a plan to tell everyone we know,” Penelope’s mom tells them, and they throw a big party to celebrate.In her dissent, Sotomayor notes, “When Penelope’s brother expresses skepticism, his mother says, ‘Not everything needs to make sense. This is about love.’ ” In their opening brief, lawyers for the families said that “teachers are told to instruct students that, at birth, people ‘guess about our gender,’ but ‘we know ourselves best.’ ”Prince and Knight Author: Daniel Haack Illustrator: Stevie Lewis “Prince and Knight” is a story about a prince whose parents want him to find a bride, but instead he falls in love with a knight. Together, they fight off a dragon. When the prince falls from a great height, his knight rescues him on horseback. When the king and queen find out of their love, they “were overwhelmed with joy. ‘We have finally found someone who is perfect for our boy!’ ” A great wedding is held, and “the prince and his shining knight would live happily ever after.”“The book Prince & Knight clearly conveys the message that same-sex marriage should be accepted by all as a cause for celebration,” said Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the majority opinion, a concerning message for Americans whose religion tells them that same-sex marriage is wrong.

Customer Experience is King. Customer experience (CX) will increasingly be seen as the key differentiator between competing providers of goods and services. As markets mature and buyers become more discerning, businesses that excel in delivering friction-free, hyper-personalized, and memorable experiences will find they are well-positioned to rise above the competition.[11]

As a writer, it is important to know your audience and to consider which content will be appropriate for that audience. Once you have determined these basic steps in your writing process, you can begin to consider how to shape and develop your voice to be academic and appropriate to the discipline in which you are writing.

Content is also shaped by tone. When the tone matches the content, the audience will be more engaged, and you will build a stronger relationship with your readers. Consider the third grade audience mentioned earlier; you would choose simple content that the audience will easily understand, and you would express that content using an enthusiastic tone.

An instructor who means business may speak in a low, slow voice to emphasize her serious mood. Or, a coworker who needs to let off some steam after a long meeting may crack a sarcastic joke.

Supplies of British goods and capital were determined far more byconditions in Britain and the world market than by conditions in the UnitedStates.

The authors therefore suggest the government introduce a special battery grid fee, which would set a variable price for withdrawing or feeding electricity every quarter-hour, depending on the regional capacity of grids to transport electricity.

In this system, the electricity sector cannot balance out shortcomings in transport and buildings.

Hyperscalers don’t want you or the competition  to know how much actual compute they have, how much they will add over the next month  and years and how competitive - or rather how dense - their AI datacenters are. And how  much power all their datacenters consume. But then, how do we know about all these projects?  How do we know about their critical IT power, how many GPUs they run, how efficient they  are and which power source they use? The answer is a combination of a large knowledge  base, lots of high quality research and actually spending the money on high-resolution satellite  images. And I don’t mean the kind on Google Earth that maybe gets a low-res update every half  year. I mean professional satellite images.

Traditional “retail datacenters” often provide less than 10 megawatts of critical IT power.  Even the larger “wholesale datacenters”, like the huddle of datacenters around the Dulles Airport  in D.C., are only in the 10-to-30-megawatt range. Modern hyperscale datacenters from the likes  of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta, and I’m still talking about traditional  datacenters that actually host data, can reach 40-to-100-megawatt of critical IT power. But they all pale in comparison to the critical IT power of AI datacenters. There are  multiple AI datacenters with critical IT power of over 200 megawatts. Microsoft  for example operates two 300 megawatt AI datacenters for OpenAI.

If you pick a random server in a traditional  datacenter, outside of hyperscalers like Google, Meta and so on, you’d be hard pressed to find  a rack that uses more than 10 kilowatts. The typical rack power consumption is in the  range of 3 to maybe 7 kilowatts. Everything above 10 kilowatt per rack is already considered  high-performance for a traditional datacenter. And while hyperscalers are building racks  in the 15 to 20 kilowatt range, even that doesn’t compare to racks used for AI compute. The Nvidia GB200 NVL72 we just talked about, which is Nvidia’s fastest rack-sized  solution, has four power shelves that provide 33 kilowatts each. That’s a total of 132  kilowatts for a single rack.

And while optical interconnects are great  over long distances, and honestly there’s no other option over a certain distance,  they need optical transceivers and retimers, which require a lot of power. For that reason,  you want to use as much copper as possible. Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 compute rack contains  over 5,000 wires and two miles of copper. If Nvidia would have used optics instead, it  would have consumed 20,000 watts more than the current copper based NVLink solution.

If you are asking  ChatGPT a question, you directly communicate with the datacenter that runs the inference.  While that is true, inference also doesn’t require the same networking as a traditional  datacenter because it’s not latency sensitive. The compute part – basically calculating the  answer – can take multiple seconds. Even if you add 500 milliseconds of latency on top, which  is a lot, it doesn’t change the experience. A chatbot is not a latency sensitive application as  long as it is limited by compute. It also doesn’t require a lot of bandwidth.

If you are providing cloud services or  are streaming content to your customers, that’s where you want your datacenter to be  located. The bigger the fiber network and the closer to your customers physical location,  the better for a traditional datacenter. But all of this is changing with AI.

right now you are looking at pictures back from August of 2021. Fast forward one year to August of 2022 and the entire field is gone. Replaced by a giant  construction site. It’s clear that Meta, the company who bought the land, has big plans. And  they mean business. Just four months later – now in December of 2022 – we can see that the  construction of a datacenter is well underway. But then something strange happens. Another  five months later, in April of 2023, our curious field in Temple looks like this:  all the previous construction gone, razed to the ground. Meta just deleted their entire datacenter  halfway through its construction. An estimated 70 million dollars just gone.

What was it about liberal education that was so life-changing? I learned to think. That sounds a bit trite. Surely, working as a legal professional, I knew how to analyze and process information. But this class on liberal education became the place to reflect more deeply about questions of mean-ing and purpose, understand how people in the past had encountered big questions, and think with these important figures.

MARI. Remember, one of the main functions of an academic discipline is to instruct its participants in the dominant practices of that cultural community and to reward them for following the rules of that community. One of the ways we see that happening in rhetoric studies is through a tendency to fetishize texts, to turn everything into a text that can be read, and to sometimes objectify those texts in a way that disconnects them from their relationship to humans and to place/space.

Soviet economy make it all the more important for him to demonstrate momentum in foreign policy. This momentum must be achieved without giving an impression of weakness or overeagerness. No conceivable economic benefits would be accepted by either the elite or the majority of the Soviet people as adequate compensation for the abandonment of the much cherished dream of Soviet imperial greatness

orbachev's initial cautious optimism was based on two misconceptions. First, the Soviet leader failed to understand that there was more to the differences between the two sides' positions in Reykjavik than just sdi. Reagan's peculiar negoti ating style and his emphasis on the big picture at the expense of crucial details obscured major areas of disagreement on strategic offensive weapons cuts. U.S. efforts to interpret the President's words, contrary to Gorbachev's own perception, evidently touched a sensitive nerve. The Soviet leader sounded particularly angry over the American insistence that all Mr. Reagan had promised was to eliminate ballistic miss'les rather than all strategic arms. Second, Gorbachev's press conference suggested a strong expectation that the public in the United States and particularly Western Europe would pressure the Reagan Administration to accommodate Moscow on sdi.

Khrushchev's de-Stalinization campaign is a case in point. During Khrushchev's time the Soviet Union underwent a far reaching internal liberalization. Soviet foreign policy?as rap prochement with Yugoslavia and arrangements with Finland and particularly Austria would testify?became more flexible and imaginative. But it also became more vigorous and ambi tious. It was Khrushchev who ordered the crushing of the Hungarian rebellion, built the Berlin Wall and deployed Soviet missiles on Cuba. It was he who presided over the missile buildup and the aggressive effort to organize an "anti-imperi alist coalition" with Third World nations that transformed the U.S.S.R. into a truly global pow
