    1. Founded in partnership with a team of entrepreneurial journalists who believe in a better model to create excellent content while narrowing the synapse between elite creators and their audiences.

      http://puck.news/who-is-puck/

      Another platform play of journalists banding together to find a niche space of readers.

    1. https://puck.news/

      Along with the proliferation of newsletters and paid journalism spaces, is this another in the litany of sites that do news analysis while chasing eyeballs? Is it following in the tradition of the move from hard news (or tiny amounts of it) to loud news analysis a la Fox News?

      Will we see the volume and partisanship increase in this newsletter/paywall space over the next decade until the next thing arrives?

    1. Newsletters are an imperfect antidote to that, allowing writers a closer relationship with a more focused audience.

      The ultimate value of newsletters is their more direct connection to a specific niche audience for which they curate news or content. The value they provide readers is as a filter of their area with some some useful analysis and perspective.

    1. It’s a lot more work to give people an interesting puzzle to solve, support them with high expectations all the way through them doing something genuinely compelling and interesting with the synthesis (and they know when you’re just BSing them), and hold them to high standards while also modeling the appropriate behaviors yourself. It’s almost impossible with class sizes upwards of 40 and class periods of 40 minutes and most of the system isn’t actually optimized for achieving that anyway
    2. education has been moving farther and farther away from memorization-based learning. The standardized tests I give are modeled off of the AP History exams’ Document Based Questions, which prioritize analysis and communication skills over rote memorization.

      Education has been moving farther away from memorization-based learning and instead prioritizing analysis and communication skills.

    1. . And, my gracious Duke, This man hath bewitch’d the bosom of my child

      This implies that she was tricked by Lysander into falling in love with him. It downplays Hermia's agency in her relationship with Lysander.

    2. Scornful Lysander, true, he hath my love; And what is mine my love shall render him;

      Egeus' determination to marry Hermia off to Demetrius without any specific reason other than he is his chosen preference brings into question the relationship between Demetrius and Egeus

    3. I beg the ancient privilege of Athens: As she is mine I may dispose of her; Which shall be either to this gentleman Or to her death,

      This speaks to the role of women in the Elizabethan era. It might not have been that extreme as the Shakespeare's Athenian laws, but it speaks to the expected relationship between fathers and daughters. Hermia does not seem to have a lot of agency since her father has decided the trajectory of her life, with Demetrius or death.

    4. I do entreat your Grace to pardon me. I know not by what power I am made bold, Nor how it may concern my modesty In such a presence here to plead my thoughts: But I beseech your Grace that I may know

      In Hermia's pleading, she begins by acknowledging her powerlessness against Theseus and her father. This acknowledgement humbles her and reaffirms the power of the two men. It makes appeal to not marry Demetrius more sorrowful and more likely to have an empathetic ear.

    5. To live a barren sister all your life, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.

      The imagery of the "cold fruitless moon" implies the Theseus' dislike or disagreement with the lives of nuns. It could also extend to his dislike with the moon herself.

    6. One that compos’d your beauties, yea, and one To whom you are but as a form in wax By him imprinted, and within his power

      The wax comparison here takes away from Hermia's humanity. The wax takes leaves no room for any deviation from Hermia. Theseus is reminding Hermia that she has no choice.

    7. Thou hast by moonlight at her window sung, With feigning voice, verses of feigning love; And stol’n the impression of her fantasy With bracelets of thy hair, rings, gauds, conceits, Knacks, trifles, nosegays, sweetmeats (messengers Of strong prevailment in unharden’d youth)

      This sentence downplays the Hermia's intelligence and maturity. Essentially, it labels Hermia as gullible and prone to deception.

    8. Come, my Hippolyta. What cheer, my love

      It would have been interesting to hear from Hippolyta because she is a woman who did not grow up under the direction of a man.

    9. But, being over-full of self-affairs, My mind did lose it.—

      His absent-mindness in here shows how unimportant Hermia or even Egeus' reason to marrying his daugther off to Lysander. Theseus' sided with Egeus solely because he is a father, and views him as the authority figure.

    10. But, being over-full of self-affairs, My mind did lose it

      In Hermia's pleading, she begins by acknowledging her powerlessness against Theseus and her father. This acknowledgement humbles her and reaffirms the power of the two men. It makes appeal to not marry Demetrius more sorrowful and more likely to have an empathetic ear.

    1. O, my love, my love is young!

      This line gets to the heart of the poem's meaning, and attaches it to the themes of the collection itself (amorous poetry).

    2. For methinks thou stay’st too long.

      Here the author rebukes the young "shepherd" that represents the lover, attempting to remove their own temptation.

    3. Crabbed age and youth cannot live together

      This poem is a lamentation by its author (Shakespeare or other) that age has prevented them from pursuing a younger lover. The author lists each point proving why such a love is incompatible, before shooing away the young lover to cut off temptation.

    4. She

      In this final stanza, the author again turns to the juxtaposition between positive and negative language. Their lover "burn[s]" with love, implying a positive passion, but they also utilize the negative side of burning to indicate that the love is short-lived. The rhetorical question in the 5th line sums up the poem's question - is the author's lover virtuous, fair, and worthy, or is she a "lecher," lustful and passionate but not to last?

    5. Her

      The first 2 lines of this stanza act as the first half of each line of the previous stanza did, to emphasize the positive aspects of the relationship between the author and their lover. Then lines 3 and 4 return to the idea of a "false" lover who invents "tales," before wistfully concluding in lines 5 and 6 that the lover's "faith...oaths...tears" were false.

    6. Fair

      This first 6-line stanza introduces a complex tone. The author, in 5 consecutive lines, praises their lover ("fair", "mild", etc.) before characterizing her in a negative way ("fickle", "brittle", etc.).

    7. oaths

      Double meaning: The author's lover swears an 'oath' to them of love, a promise, but since that promise is false, according to the final line of the stanza, it also resembles a curse.

    8. dye to grace her,

      The author implies falseness in their lover, since she appears as a lily, but masks herself in another flower's coloring.

    9. whether?

      In calling their (female) lover a 'lecher', the author not only implies a gross unchasteness, they imply a masculinity, since lecher was most frequently applied to men.

    2. venwith the time it takes to achieve such focus, this kind of alignment increasescredibility for an organization and its partners. It also ensures that campaigngoals have relevance for local constituencies. In this way, organizations like theCenter act as a boundary spanner and intermediary for greater alignment in thefield of organizations working to influence the policy process

    1. In contrast, a proactive L&D team will work to identify potential learning needs before they become a significant issue for the company. They’ll source potential needs from employee suggestions and prioritize those needs based on business impact. Sourcing training needs from employees is more accurate and helps you uncover training gaps before they grow.

      The L&D team can work with the business, managers, employees, SME's to help with a bottom-up training needs analysis, and this can help with a more democratic learning culture.

    1. they do not form the basis for discovery,

      I don't entirely agree with this part of the statement because the digital tools we have allow us to both view information in an entirely new way and to see connections that we couldn't have seen very readily. For example, the ability to take any written work and create a concordance of words can give us great insight that just reading the work would not have. If we wanted to see to what degree society is viewed from a male vs. female perspective between 1920 and 2020 we could analyze specific words in several pieces of literature from those time periods to see how significantly each gender is represented. If not impossible to do before digital tools, it would certainly be so laborious as to render it an insignificant goal in the scheme of humanistic inquiry. Thus we there is a basis for discovery within digital tools.

    1. The insertion of an algorithm’s predictions into the patient-physician relationship also introduces a third party, turning the relationship into one between the patient and the health care system. It also means significant changes in terms of a patient’s expectation of confidentiality. “Once machine-learning-based decision support is integrated into clinical care, withholding information from electronic records will become increasingly difficult, since patients whose data aren’t recorded can’t benefit from machine-learning analyses,” the authors wrote.

      There is some work being done on federated learning, where the algorithm works on decentralised data that stays in place with the patient and the ML model is brought to the patient so that their data remains private.

    1. There is obvious connections between the flow paths of a use case and its test cases. Deriving functional test cases from a use case through its scenarios (running instances of a use case) is straightforward.
    2. With content based upon an action or event flow structure, a model of well-written use cases also serves as an excellent groundwork and valuable guidelines for the design of test cases
    3. Use cases are not only texts, but also diagrams, if needed.
    1. The semantic features of a word can be notated using a binary feature notation common to the framework of componential analysis.[11] A semantic property is specified in square brackets and a plus or minus sign indicates the existence or non-existence of that property.
    1. Analysis involves reaching a richer and more precise understanding of each requirement and representing sets of requirements in multiple, complementary ways.

      The most interesting point to me here is the part:

      representing sets of requirements in multiple, complementary ways.
