      There are often many aspect of taking care of each other, too, emulating a family-like atmosphere... Be it emotional, financial, psychological or other kinds of aid. In communities however that are established with the intent of financial gain or that of control/manipulation, the caring aspect is not an end for itself but rather a tool. Something that is absent in healthy family dynamics.

      I have found similar dynamic to be the case in non-religious psychological forums, such as Landmark or Leo Institute, claiming one's discovery of psychological truths but being rather religious in nature. And of course, tied to hefty fees.

      I always did find "community building" initiatives strange and never quite able to understand how that would be possible in a controlled and highly-facilitated manner.

      Cults amplify this part. Though they be the chosen community, it's the "unbreakable" spiritual bonds that supposedly tie people together. So though getting in is easy, getting out is painted as almost impossible.

      Hmmm I'm not sold on the should part because certain, more fluid and less authoritarian communities allow for diversion of thought, especially if one is still acting in the conscious interest of the group. I am talking more about a community that exceeds that of thought and runs deeper, I guess.

    27. AUN ponjuids

      Interesting phrasing and something I have always thought to be the case. So difficult to explain that SENSE of community in dissectible terms which often fail to really capture the basis of belonging. Community seems to me as something experienced on almost visceral level and does not follow external logic.

      This works better with audiences that are not directly opposed to the speaker but rather share certain sympathies which the phrasing then solidifies as a given sense of togetherness. We as social animals have a need to belong, after all.

      Or use the phrase to generate agreement in a group that might be somewhat leaning to the speaker's ideas. So that they're not sure they agree yet but once its specified strongly the audience assumes the agreement and a sense of group-belonging is created.

      I would challenge that a bureaucracy is the most effective and least costly to pursue ends. Communities that have strongly held shared values and promote bottom-up action related to those values can pursue aims without (as much) need for a large bureaucratic structure. However, this may not be as coldly rational as a bureaucracy.

      It seems rather dark to me to suggest that community certainly does not exist anymore. It feels like the author i undermining a powerful uniting force without weighing considering fully the pros and cons of how it works in practice. I get that he's purposefully staking the contrarian position, but I'm hoping that he mentions that community plays as much a role in creating new consciousness as in justifying what's established.

    1. Thus my thought experiment above: first, because it seems apparent that laws alone do not prevent harmful behaviors; and second, because the cumulative weight of history would produce inertia that perpetuates inequity at a structural level in the present, even if there were no more direct discrimination happening at all.

      This is genuinely such a compelling way to explain the prevalence of racism despite its illegality. Its the perfect gateway into the other ways races are still discriminated against systemically and one that I can now quote in future conversations.

    1. By focusing on a student’s learning style we reinforce a simplistic view of learning. Learning styles suggest that individuals have one way to learn best. Unfortunately, learning is complex, and not easy. This is hard and takes time! It has very little to do with the way information is handed to a learner, but rather, how the learner processes that knowledge once they have it. It is important to remember – learning is within the control of the learner.

      This stands out to me because it honestly seems very truthful. If we focus on something like a learning style a child may never fully find out what they are capable of if they try to learn and take on other styles as well.

    2. The

      Summary of the article: This article talks about the many different learning styles and explains in depth about each learning style. This article plays devil's advocate as well asking if learning styles are a real thing and some alternate explanations of the styles. The basic gist is how learning styles are both a good and bad thing.

    3. Finally, ​​”styles” are unstable and unreliable. The research on learning styles has suggested that these preferences may be unstable – they be topic-specific, but they also change over time (Coffield et al., 2004).  That means that although an individual may be a kinesthetic learner in history this week, that person is a visual learner in math when talking about calculus (but not about geometry), or prefers to learn how to ride a bike kinesthetically instead of reading about it in a book.

      I found this point to be especially interesting. As someone who didn't have a favorite subject in high school, I was constantly changing the modality of my learning to cater to the subject or the topic. I also had different learning preferences/expectations going into each class. And I know I am not the only one. In calculus, I was a strong proponent of lectures and independent work. In history, I enjoyed group work, discussion, and visual (videos, movies, etc.). In English, I was excited by assignments that allowed me to be more creative, whether in my writing or through various works of art. Regardless, my point still stands: how can a student have one, primary learning style? It seems virtually impossible, given the range of subjects we are learning at the same time (especially in high school).

    4. References

      Prior to reading this article, I wasn't quite sure why a "learning style" would be harmful to a student's education or a teacher's approach to lesson planning. However, I completely understand it now. As stated at the beginning of the article, the "learning style myth" implicates "that matching modality information to the modality of learning style is critical to student success." I have found this to be untrue for a host of reasons. Studies have shown that students do not have measurable or consistent learning styles that are directly connected to their academic success. Even though many students claim to be "visual" or "hands-on" learners, this may be a preference, rather than a style. On top of this, teachers who attempt to tailor their lessons to the "learning styles" of their students' risk missing potential opportunities. There is no evidence that teaching to a student's learning style results in better learning (it seems there is no impact, actually) and teachers should be more concerned with engagement over anything. Educators who employ multiple modes of learning in their lessons keep their students' attention and pique their interest which, in turn, leads to higher learning. In all, I am well-aware that learning styles are a much too simplistic way of approaching learning, and I will be wary if/when I come in contact with this term in the future. This article reinforces my philosophy that multi-modal learning is a great approach to take as an educator!

It has very little to do with the way information is handed to a learner, but rather, how the learner processes that knowledge once they have it. It is important to remember – learning is within the control of the learner.

      In this section, the author states that using one specific learning style can simplify the concept of learning. tHe author states that learning is meant to be a challenge, and by catering to a learning style or preference, the challenge is not there, essentially. The author believes that the way knowledge is given isn't important, but it is how the learner receives this knowledge, and what they do with it that is important.

    6. Roundup on Research: The myth of “learning styles”

      This article discusses the topic of learning styles, but the fact that the concept of learning styles is actually very flawed. The author explains that it is very difficult to find a way of teaching that caters to all learners. They also explain that the effectiveness of learning styles is difficult to truly measure. The author states that when you take note of which ways that you learn best, it is not a learning style, but a preference. It is also explained that no study displays that catering to a specific learning style brings in positive results of better retention. In addition, the author explains the dangers of learning styles.

    1. The evolution of CAST’s UDL Guidelines has been and continues to be a dynamic, collaborative, and research-based process

      The multiple versions of the UDL Guidelines reflect a dynamic, collaborative, and research-based process aimed at enhancing educational practices. Each iteration incorporates feedback from educators and integrates new research from fields like cognitive science and inclusive education.

    2. The UDL Guidelines offer a structure for proactively uncovering and addressing these barriers and for intentionally designing learning environments and experiences that more fully honor and value every learner.

      The UDL Guidelines can be used effectively by educators working together to share insights and strategies based on the Guidelines. Collaborating with colleagues allows for the exchange of ideas and best practices, creating a community of support focused on enhancing student learning.

    3. UDL emphasizes three large brain networks that comprise the vast majority of the human brain and play a central role in learning. These networks include: the affective networks (where learners evaluate the internal and external environment to set priorities, to motivate, and to engage learning and behavior), the recognition networks (where learners sense and perceive information in the environment and transform it into usable knowledge), and the strategic networks (where learners plan, organize, and initiate purposeful actions in the environment).

      The UDL Guidelines align closely with the learning brain by addressing the unique functions of the three core brain networks: affective network, recognition network and strategic network.

    1. In Section 3.1, we already discussed norms that we can use to computethe length of a vector. Inner products and norms are closely related in thesense that any inner product induces a norm

      I was in Neil Bruce's Computer vision class, and he was highlighting how in extremely high dimensional spaces, euclidean distance can become more of an abstract concept and can behave weirdly globally, but can be consistent on a local level. Do not really understand why, but look forward to learning more.

    2. Example 3.1 (Manhattan Norm)The Manhattan norm on Rn is defined for x ∈ Rn as Manhattan norm∥x∥1 :=n∑i=1|xi| , (3.3)where | · | is the absolute value. The left panel of Figure 3.3 shows allvectors x ∈ R2 with ∥x∥1 = 1. The Manhattan norm is also called ℓ1 ℓ1 normnorm.

      Interesting to see cross over from topics class done in Mathematics on artificial intelligence. We used Manhattan distance for tasks involved with greedy search strategies in checkers. I wonder what limits will be like down the line in terms of training AI if we use a non-differentiable function.

    1. HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight. 170 Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.

      The first few times I read this passage, I glossed over the spelling of “Goonight”. It wasn’t until the indented Ophelia soliloquy “Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, / good night.” that I noticed that “Goonight” was missing a “d” and a space. I attributed this to the slurrish / slangy vernacular of the unnamed first person subject. The portmanteauing of the word evokes a sense of urgency, as if there isn’t enough time for the character to pronounce two full syllables separately and must combine the two into a breath. This aligns with the repeated phrases “HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME”, which as I am typing this, I realize is also missing punctuation “ ‘ “ that critically indicates that the word is a contraction. Again, a word is shortened, this time dropping even the apostrophe. “ITS” is also a particularly interesting case because “IT’S” represents contraction “IT IS”, which is grammatically correct and therefore what I assume the correct voice is, while just “ITS” is a possesive pronoun modifying who knows what. Whose time is it? Who does time belong to? Do we all belong to time?

      The imperative “HURRY UP ITS TIME” is repeated four times in under 40 lines, first spaced out, and then condensing to repeat back to back 4 lines before the end of the poem. This increasingly urgent demand phonetically (and emotionally) elicits the pressures of living. As a third person / exterior overhead voice in the scene between Lil and the first person subject consoling/incriminating her of her domestic shortcomings as a mother and wife, the phrase is an objective pace keeper, separate from the cast of characters and their woes. Every time Lil is about to answer an emotionally wrought question, (“What you get married for if you don’t want children?”), the phrase in all-caps becomes her saving grace, interrupting the accusatory line of questioning between one character (a condescending wife or a oatrarchy-upholding man?) and her truth. Outside the scene, the phrase is a speed sign for us readers as we parse through the different voices. The insertion reads like Ophelia’s “sings” cues in Hamlet, where the theatrical cue physically separates delivered lines from those sung. Both interpretations embody the accelerando of life. Lil, her snobby friend, the various ambiguous pronouns, me, you, we are all of us running out of time, being pursued, pursued.

    1. Electronic literature, generally considered to exclude print literature that has been digitized, is by contrast "digital born," a first-generation digital object created on a computer and (usually) meant to be read on a computer.

      This definition highlights how electronic literature is inherently digital, unlike digitized print texts. By being "born-digital," it leverages the unique features of computers—like interactivity and multimedia—transforming the reader's experience and challenging traditional literary forms.

    2. In the contemporary era, both print and electronic texts are deeply interpenetrated by code. Digital technologies are now so thoroughly integrated with commercial printing processes that print is more properly considered a particular output form of electronic text than an entirely separate medium. Nevertheless, electronic text remains distinct from print in that it literally cannot be accessed until it is performed by properly executed code

      This statement emphasises the convergence of print and digital media, as both are influenced by code, but also highlights a fundamental difference: electronic texts depend on the execution of code for access and perception. Whereas print is a static outcome of digital processes, e-literature requires a dynamic interaction where the text only fully exists when the technology is activated. This emphasises the performative nature of digital texts and their dependence on code for meaning and accessibility, which distinguishes them from traditional print.

    3. The Electronic Literature Organization, whose mission is to "promote the writing, publishing, and reading of literature in electronic media," convened a committee headed by Noah Wardrip-Fruin, himself a creator and critic of electronic literature, to come up with a definition appropriate to this new field. The committee's choice was framed to include both work performed in digital media and work created on a computer but published in print (as, for example, was Brian Kim Stefans's computer-generated poem "Stops and Rebels"). The committee's formulation: "work with an important literary aspect that takes advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the stand-alone or networked computer."

      The committee's definition of electronic literature highlights the unique intersection of traditional literary forms and digital technologies, recognizing that the medium can significantly determine a work's meaning and reception. By including both digital and computer-generated works, the definition expands the scope of what literature in the digital age can include. This formulation embraces the potential of interactivity, multimedia, and networked environments, extending literary possibilities beyond the static text. It emphasizes that the digital context is not just a medium, but a fundamental component of literary creation.

"Из трех основных категорий, под которые так или иначе подпадает все, что пишется, — поучение, повествование, описание, — только описание специфично для «художественной» литературы, как таковой, между тем как поучение и повествование в такой же мере присущи «нехудожественной» словесности. Поучение устремлено к утилитарному воздействию, повествование спешит к исходу рассказываемых событий, и только описание довлеет себе и покоится в себе; оно «бескорыстно». Поэтому именно оно оказывается конститутивным критерием для литературной культуры греческого типа; недаром и в наше время профаны, не посвященные в таинства этой культуры (например, дети и подростки), распознаются по одному безошибочному признаку — они следят только за фабулой (то есть за повествованием) и пропускают описания"

    2. Mengyi et al.

      The results for Mengyi in Fig. 1 and 3 suggest the composition looks more like the other blood samples than the plasma. I know there was confusion about their sample prep. Can you add discussion of this to the dataset description? Do you think it's possible that these are actually whole blood samples?

    3. Compare the mean relative abundance of human infecting viruses between plasma and whole blood

      Where do you compare the means? Try to be more precise and quantitative here.

    4. 8.87e-08

      Are you sure this calculation is correct? When controlling for human RA, overall virus abundance goes from 0.00011 % to 0.07906 % (2 OOM difference) yet these numbers don't seem that different.

    5. plasma has a higher viral read fraction by a magnitude of 10

      Again, this is not a very quantitatively precise statment. The difference between viral fraction in Cebria Mendoza and and O'Connel is far greater than 10X. Maybe give a gemotric average difference (and range) for both the human-read removed and normal datasets.

    6. we can see that they have similar read composition across the board

      I don't think this is accurate, or at least it's highly subjective. Across blood data without human reads, viral read fraction is still differing across an OOM.

    7. Another way we can look at this is by controlling for human reads across all datasets

      Explain the motivation here:

      Clearly sample prep can lead to large variations in how many human reads end up in your sample. Cebria Mendoza is an example of highly efficient human read removal in plasma. Probably this is more challenging in blood, but may still be possible particularly if looking at the extracellular content. Perhaps some of the blood studies were focused on human genome sequencing? If so, I'd also mention that in the dataset descriptions, since this means they're really not interested in viral enrichment. Possibly human read removal techniques like JumpCode genomics' kit could be applied effectively here.

    1. Even though the title of the National Geographic article seems to imply koalas are in less danger, the article’s content does not actually assert that koalas are perfectly safe. It concludes with: “If we want koalas, we’ve got to look after them. We need to step up.”[2]

      This really puts into prospective finding credible sources before jumping to conclusions.

    2. The article states that koala numbers are in decline and may be headed toward functional extinction. In fact, despite the way Kathy presented the article in her tweet, her article appears to actually support David’s point.

      I find it funny how sometimes people can interpret the same article differently based on previous knowledge/ opinions they have

    3. First of all, we should start by checking our emotions. Why is this contentious? Because koalas are cute and they may be functionally extinct and that’s sad. It might feel like David is claiming we shouldn’t care about koalas. After all, he is asserting that we shouldn’t “buy into the hype.” Is this the case, though? There is a lot here that we should stop and think about before jumping to conclusions

      Koalas do trigger an emotional response from many people. We certainly should care about all animals, and I feel that more information is needed to clarify his claims.

The total US population in 2016 was estimated to be 323.1 million.5 Population statistics from the US Census Bureau illustrate that cultural diversity is increasing among the five most common pan-ethnic groups, which are federally defined as American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, black or African American, Hispanic, and white (Table 37.1).6

    2. Care of the seriously ill and dying is complex, with many of these individuals coping with multiple chronic illnesses, age-related syndromes and needs, complicated medication regimens aimed at ameliorating symptoms of disease, and often a limited social support and caregiver base to help with care. Globally, nurses need to acquire and maintain generalist palliative care nursing knowledge and skill to address the unique needs of individuals coping with serious illness and their families.

      I would like to have an overarching process structure that is applicable to all types of projects, and then dive into details and differences for each type of project.

    3. Graphic Design ​

      Maybe just Design

    4. This phase involves

      Testing, site audit (content, functionality), integrations, analytics

    1. five key phases

      I need to overlap this with our standard 5-phase process. This currently doesn't align.

    1. silence is often seen as the sexist “right speechof womanhood”— the sign of woman’s submission to patriarchal authority.

      They see silence as woman submitting to the mens patriarchal authroity meaning they have more power in society because woman tend to stay silent in fear

    2. To speak then when one was not spoken to was a courageous act—an act of risk and daring

      Again if you did this you might invite punsihment

    3. To make yourself heard if you were a child was to invite punishment,

      Anytime you talk back to your parents or an authority figure you will be punished
