Sounds like maybe Irene had more expendable time than the teacher of the class as she was able to be all those things while the other teacher was not.

It is true that the Biden administration has emphasized climate mitigation and called for reduced fossil fuels. But the Biden administration has fully complied with federal law in OCS leasing and approving the Willow project. There is a more important issue here, namely the fact that the author regularly confuses legal and political decisions. Congressional statutes grant broad discretion to the BLM and Forest Service in determining the appropriate mix of uses on public lands. When the Biden administration uses that discretion to advance interests with which the author disagrees, it is not violating the law. https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/109410/510 https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R44504

This is a small quibble, but the statute cited doesn't govern BLM lands. It governs Forest Service lands. There is another law that does govern BLM under multiple use terms. The error in citation indicates some sloppiness in this overall planning and should undermine all of its claims.

As repeatedly used here, "multiple use" is implied to be all about economic development, extractive and consumptive uses. But the actual statutory authority, FLPMA, cites other uses, such as recreation, watershed, wildlife and fish, natural scenery, and scientific and historic values. These are entirely or mostly ignored throughout this document, misrepresenting management directives.

Morale was low in agencies within Interior at the moment Pendley is claiming aid in accomplishing mission critical work. The Park Service is but one example. Never in the Trump administration was there a confirmed director of the agency. Pendley himself headed the Bureau of Land Management only as an "Acting" director. The haphazard, slipshod management spelled instability rather than what is described here.

(To be fair, morale remains low, but improving: https://peer.org/poor-national-park-service-morale-shows-scant-improvement/)

https://www.npca.org/articles/1878-how-zinke-is-undermining-national-park-service-employees

The Biden Administration issued nearly 50% more drilling permits during its first three years than did the Trump Administration during its first three years. The Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management granted 3,377 permits to drill on public land during Biden’s first three years, compared to only 2,507 permits during Trump’s first three years. https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/01/biden-administration-oil-drilling-permits-outpaces-trump-00138376?source=email

The citation for this is an opinion piece by the author. Without clearer definitions around energy dominance or energy independence, it is difficult to verify claims. However, by using only 2019, Pendley cuts short the story and is terribly misleading with regard to the current administration. (As indicated in the next comment. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/imports-and-exports.php

The chapter repeatedly appeals to the desires of "westerners" as if this is homogenous group. A quick review of voting maps shows that those living in the West are politically diverse, and many support environmental protection. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html

This is important history, as it reflects the nation's priorities in the early 20th century. But that history isn't normative. Congress has, over the last 125 years, developed a much broader set of priorities, informed by contemporary science and public values.

Re-jiggering the understanding of reserve margins serves to tip the scales toward certain kinds of power. This is a political rather than engineering approach to our electrical grid.

LNG terminals have significant security concerns. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/RL32205

Translation: maybe global warming exists, but even if it did, addressing it is not a legitimate policy that serves the public interest.

Even staunchly conservative outlets such as the Wall Street Journal have found that problems with reliability of the electrical grid are substantially rooted in aging power lines and changing global climate. https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-power-grid-is-increasingly-unreliable-11645196772

This is symbolic. But the US should work to deter nuclear weapons testing as well as the build-up of nuclear arsenals by our adversaries. To think that the only way to do so is by pouring trillions of dollars into designing and building thousands of new nuclear weapons is to learn nothing from history.

What happened to not picking winners and losers?

As pointed out, the region is of increasing strategic importance because of warming ocean temperatures and melting Arctic glaciers. https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/warmest-arctic-summer-on-record-is-evidence-of-accelerating-climate-change

Here we have conservatives applauding the expansion of government to address conditions created by global warming.

This office is only needed because global warming is melting glaciers in the Arctic. It is only a matter of time before goods shipped between Europe and Asia follow a northern route thereby making control and/or access to this region in our national interest.

This is a good idea. How is it achieved without picking winners and losers?

This makes perfect sense in a world where global warming does not exist.

Project 2025 flags increased energy costs as a substantial burden for American households. Yet consumer advocates note that energy-efficient appliances have saved American households significant amounts of money: Consumer Reports noted five years ago that "Households are saving hundreds of dollars annually as a result of increasing appliance efficiency standards," according to one analyst. https://www.consumerreports.org/energy-efficiency/why-new-major-appliances-use-less-energy/

The preferred forms of energy.

The previous page detailed how the original mission included, "minimizing the environmental impacts..."

Yes, this is a commendable goal. But it will never happen until conservatives recognize that addressing global warming is in the public interest.

This is a significant threat to the natural gas industry. Utility-scale wind and solar is cheaper than natural gas or will be in the future. Cheap batteries will eliminate the reliability issue threatening an important domestic market for the natural gas industry.

Deployment of grid-scale battery back up storage has grown dramatically in states with favorable policy environments, such as California and Texas. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61202

Translation: research the energy technologies we like. Don't research the energy technologies we don't like.

Translation: we want less information on global warming.

China has become the world's leader in supply chains related to solar power. Ensuring that the US can maintain a place in markets and innovation related to photovoltaics and solar power is an important element of energy supply and infrastructure, but not one that Project 2025 acknowledges. https://www.iea.org/reports/solar-pv-global-supply-chains/executive-summary

The NRC was designed to be the cop on the beat. Any regulation could be viewed as "hampering" civilian nuclear deployment.

Subsidizing the commercialization of new energy technologies is not "government control of energy." This is sloppy analysis.

The Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) report by the US Energy Information Agency surveys long-term energy trends and is widely respected by traditional energy producers and analysts across many fields. The 2023 AEO concluded that "we project that the United States will remain a net exporter of petroleum products and natural gas through 2050 in all AEO2023 cases." Further, "As a result, in AEO2023, we see renewable generating capacity growing in all regions of the United States in all cases. Across all cases, compared with 2022, solar generating capacity grows by about 325% to 1019% by 2050, and wind generating capacity grows by about 138% to 235%. We see growth in installed battery capacity in all cases to support this growth in renewables. Across the span of AEO cases, relative to 2022, natural gas generating capacity ranges from an increase of between 20% to 87% through 2050." https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/narrative/index.php#ExecutiveSummary

This chapter provides no evidence that the US is experiencing an energy crisis. To wit: much evidence such as of record oil production suggests the opposite: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2024/03/12/eia-confirms-historic-us-oil-production-record/

Editors Assessment:

This paper reports the establishment of the International Cannabis Genomics Research Consortium (ICGRC) web portal leveraging the open source Tripal platform to enhance data accessibility and integration for Cannabis sativa (Cannabis) multi-omics research. With the aim of bringing together the wealth of publicly available genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data sets to improve cannabis for food, fiber and medicinal traits. Tripal is a content management system for genomics data, presenting a ready-to-use specialized ‘omics modules for loading, visualization, and analysis, and is GMOD (Generic Model Organism Database) standards-compliant. The paper explaining how this was put together, what data and features are available, and providing a case study for other communities wanting to create their own Tripal platform. Covering their setup and customizations of the Tripal platform, and how they re-engineered modules for multi-omics data integration, and addition of many other custom features that can be reused. Peer review fixed a few minor bugs and added clarifications on how the platform will be updated.

*This evaluation refers to version 1 of the preprint *

This work has been published in GigaByte Journal under a CC-BY 4.0 license (https://doi.org/10.46471/gigabyte.137). These reviews are as follows.

Reviewer 1. Weiwen Wang

Is the code executable?

Unable to test.

This manuscript is about an online platform, and I am not sure how to test the code.

Is installation/deployment sufficiently outlined in the paper and documentation, and does it proceed as outlined?

Same as above.

Additional Comments:

With the increasing legalization of cannabis in many countries today, exploring this crop has become a hot topic of research. This manuscript by Mansueto et al. introduces a platform built on the Tripal framework, designed to facilitate multi-omics research in Cannabis sativa. The platform integrates genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data, providing researchers with a comprehensive resource for data analysis and sharing. Additionally, APIs have been developed, enabling rapid querying. This manuscript detailed information on how to customize Tripal modules and Chado schema for managing biological entities. Finally, this manuscript highlights the importance of standardization in data storage and analysis, proposing community-wide adoption of standardized nomenclature to ensure consistency and traceability of data. Overall, the platform is poised to become a valuable resource for cannabis research and to advance scientific progress in related fields.

While this manuscript was engaging, particularly in the sections on Tripal "re-engineering" and controlled vocabulary, I do have several concerns.

1 Because my registration (using business email) has not been approved, I cannot test the functions requiring ICGRC registration.

2 The authors noted that the Cannabis Genome Browser has not been updated. Do the authors have a plan for updating ICGRC? If so, what is the proposed update frequency?

3 ICGRC currently includes only a few cannabis cultivars, especially when compared to other platforms like Kannapedia and CannabisGDB. Do the authors have plans to add additional cultivars, such as First Light and Jamaican Lions mentioned in this manuscript, in the near future?

4 When I tried to register using Gmail, an error popped up: ‘Domain is not allowed to register for this site’. Perhaps it would be clearer to instruct users to use a business email for registration directly.

5 There is a data submission function in ICGRC, but the exact workings of this feature remain unclear to me. If a user submits a cannabis genome to the ICGRC, whether this data will be visualized within specific modules like synteny search or genetic mapping tools on the platform.

Reviewer 2. Hongyun Shang

Is the code executable?

Unable to test.

Is installation/deployment sufficiently outlined in the paper and documentation, and does it proceed as outlined?

Unable to test.

This is a comprehensive database with many features that improves the shortcomings of cannabis species that had no genome database in the past. It is a good work. Here are some minor suggestions:

1. Did not find the function of searching gene and protein sequences directly by gene id without providing chromosome location, which may be a common feature of many omics databases.
2. In the chapter "The need for cannabis multi-omics databases and analysis platforms", "There are no analysis tools or results available on this website", "No results available" seems inappropriate.
3. In the chapter "Cannabis - Omics, Genetic and Phenotypic Datasets in the Public Domain", "Crop Ontology" Crop Ontology, is "Crop Ontology" repeated?

Okay but once again the Bible relies on God. But if you aren't convinced in what the Bible says then how can you believe in God...?

Not only does the bible do this, but okay. This is a valid point

That part is true... But if the bible is "God's word," but it's the bible that says God exists, then is it not just the same source citing itself?

So there had already been bloodshed caused by the Spanish? Yet the Aztecs still hosted them with hospitality... could this be due to the fact that Montzuma & co. thought they were gods?

Welcome back and in this demo lesson you're going to be creating an ECS cluster with the Fargate cluster mode and using the container of CATS container that we created together earlier in this section of the course, you're going to deploy this container into your Fargate cluster.

So you're going to get some practical experience of how to deploy a real container into a Fargate cluster.

Now you won't need any cloud formation templates applied to perform this demo because we're going to use the default VPC.

All that you'll need is to be logged in as the IAM admin user inside the management account of the organization and just make sure that you're in the Northern Virginia region.

Once you've confirmed that then just click in Find Services and type ECS and then click to move to the ECS console.

Once you're at the ECS console, step one is to create a Fargate cluster.

So that's the cluster that our container is going to run inside.

So click on clusters, then create cluster.

You'll need to give the cluster a name.

You can put anything you want here, but I recommend using the same as me and I'll be putting all the CATS.

Now Fargate mode requires a VPC.

I'm going to be suggesting that we use the default VPC because that's already configured, remember, to give public IP addresses to anything deployed into the public subnets.

So just to keep it simple and avoid any extra configuration, we'll use the default VPC.

Now it should automatically select all of the subnets within the default VPC, in my case all six.

If yours doesn't, just make sure you select all of the available subnets from this dropdown, but it should do this by default.

Then scroll down and just note how AWS Fargate is already selected and that's the default.

If you wanted to, you could check to use Amazon EC2 instances or external instances using ECS anywhere, but for this demo, we won't be doing that.

Instead, we'll leave everything else as default, scroll down to the bottom and click create.

If this is the first time you're doing this in an AWS account, it's possible that you'll get the error that's shown on screen now.

If you do get this error, then what I would suggest is to wait a few minutes, then go back to the main ECS console, go to cluster again and then create the all the cats cluster again.

So follow exactly the same steps, call the cluster all the cats, make sure that the animals for live default VPC is selected and all those subnets are present, and then click on create.

You should find that the second time that you run this creation process, it works okay.

Now this generally happens because there's an approval process that needs to happen behind the scenes.

So if this is the first time that you're using ECS within this AWS account, then you might get this error.

It's nothing to worry about, just rerun the process and it should create fine the second time.

Once you've followed that process through again, or if it works the first time, then just go ahead and click on the all the cats cluster.

So this is the Fargate based cluster.

It's in an active state, so we're good to deploy things into this cluster.

And we can see that we've got no active services.

If I click on tasks, we can see we've got no active tasks.

There's a tab here, metrics where you can see cloud watch metrics about this cluster.

And again, because this is newly created and it doesn't have any activity, all of this is going to be blank.

For now, that's fine.

What we need to do for this demonstration is create a task definition that will deploy our container, our container of cats container into this Fargate cluster.

To do that, click on task definitions and create a new task definition.

You'll need to pick a name for your task definition.

Go ahead and put container of cats.

And then inside this task definition, the first thing to do set the details of the container for this task.

So under container details under name, go ahead and put container of cats web.

So this is going to be the web container for the container of cats task.

Then next to the name under image URI, you need to point this at the docker image that's going to be used for this container.

So I'm going to go ahead and paste in the URI for my docker image.

So this is the docker image that I created earlier in the course within the EC2 docker demo.

You might have also created your own container image.

You can feel free to use my container image or you can use yours.

If you want to keep things simple, you should go ahead and use mine.

Yours should be the same anyway.

Now just to be careful, this isn't a URL.

This is a URI to point at my docker image.

So it consists of three parts.

First we have docker.io, which is the docker hub.

Then we have my username, so acantral.

And then we have the repository name, which is container of cats.

So if you want to use your own docker image, you need to change both the username and the repository name.

Again, to keep things simple, feel free to use my docker image.

Then scrolling down, we need to make sure that the port mappings are correct.

It should show what's on screen now, so container port 80, TCP.

And then the port name should be the same or similar to what's on screen now.

Don't worry if it's slightly different and the application protocol should be HTTP.

This is controlling the port mapping from the container through to the Fargate IP address.

And I'll talk more about this IP address later on in this demo.

Everything else looks good, so scroll down to the bottom and click on next.

We need to specify some environment details.

So under operating system/architecture, it needs to be linux/x86_64.

Under task size for memory, go ahead and select 1GB and then under CPU, 0.5 vCPU.

That should be enough resources for this simple docker application.

Scroll down and under monitoring and logging, uncheck use log collection.

We won't be needing it for this demo lesson.

That's everything we need to do.

Go ahead and click on next.

This is just an overview of everything that we've configured, so you can scroll down to the bottom and click on create.

And at this point, the task definition has been created successfully.

And this is where you can see all of the details of the task definition.

If you want to see the raw JSON for the task definition itself, you don't need this for the exam, but this is actually what a task definition looks like.

So it contains all of this different information.

What it has got is one or more container definitions.

So this is just JSON.

This is a list of container definitions.

We've only got the one.

And if you're looking at this, you can see where we set the port mapping.

So we're mapping port 80.

You can see where it's got the image URL, which is where it pulls the docker image from.

This is exactly what a normal task and container definition look like.

They can be significantly more complex, but this format is consistent across all task definitions.

Okay, so now it's time to launch a task.

It's time to take the container and task definitions that we've defined and actually run up a container inside ECS using those definitions.

So to do that, click on clusters and then select the all the cats cluster.

Click on tasks and then click on run a new task.

Now, first we need to pick the compute options and we're going to select launch type.

So check that box.

If appropriate for the certification that you're studying for, I'll be talking about the differences between these two in a different lesson.

Once you've clicked on launch type, make sure Fargate is selected in the launch type drop down and latest is selected under platform version.

Then scroll down and we're going to be creating a task.

So make sure that task is selected.

Scroll down again and under family, make sure container of cats is selected.

And then under revision, select latest.

We want to make sure the latest version is used and we'll leave desired tasks at one and task group blank.

Scroll down and expand networking.

Make sure the default VPC is selected and then make sure again that all of the subnets inside the default VPC are present under subnets.

The default is that all of them should be in my case six.

Now the way that this task is going to work is that when the task is run within Fargate, an elastic network interface is going to be created within the default VPC.

And that elastic network interface is going to have a security group.

So we need to make sure that the security group is appropriate and allows us to access our containerized application.

So check the box to say create a new security group and then for security group name and description, use container of cats -sg.

We need to make sure that the rule on this security group is appropriate.

So under type select HTTP and then under source change this to anywhere.

And this will mean that anyone can access this containerized application.

Finally make sure that public IP is turned on.

This is really important because this is how we'll access our containerized application.

Everything else looks good.

We can scroll down to the bottom and click on create.

Now give that a couple of seconds.

It should initially show last status.

So the last status should be set to provisioning and the desired state should be set to running.

So we need to wait for this task provisioning to complete.

So just keep hitting refresh.

You'll see it first change into pending.

Now at this point we need this task to be in a running state before we can continue.

So go ahead and pause the video and wait for both of these states.

So last status and desired status both of those need to be running before we continue.

So pause the video, wait for both of those to change and then once they have you can resume and will continue.

After another refresh the last status should now be running and in green and the desired state should also be running.

So at that point we're good to go.

We can click on the task link below.

We can scroll down and our task has been allocated a private IP version for address in the default VPC and also a public IP version for address also in the default VPC.

So if we copy this public IP into our clipboard and then open a new tab and browse to this IP we'll see our very corporate professional web application.

If it fits, I sits in a container in a container.

So we've taken a Docker image that we created earlier in this section of the course.

We've created a Fargate cluster, created a task definition with a container definition inside and deployed our container image as a container to this Fargate cluster.

So it's a very simple example, but again this scales.

So you could deploy Docker containers which are a lot more complex in what functionality they offer.

In this case it's just an Apache web server loading up a web page but we could deploy any type of web application using the same steps that you've performed in this demo lesson.

So congratulations, you've learned all of the theory that you'll need for the exam and you've taken the steps to implement this theory in practice by deploying a Docker image as a container on an ECS Fargate cluster.

So great job.

At this point all that remains is to tidy up.

So go back to the AWS console.

Just stop this container.

Click on stop.

Click on task definitions and then go into this task definition.

Select this.

Click on actions, deregister and then click on deregister.

Click back on task definitions and make sure there's no results there.

That's good.

Click on clusters.

Click on all the cats.

Delete the cluster.

You'll need to type delete space all the cats and then click on delete to confirm.

And at that point the Fargate cluster has been deleted.

The running container has been stopped.

The task definitions been deleted and our account is back in the same state as when we started.

So at this point you've completed the demo.

You've done great and you've implemented some pretty complex theory.

So you should already have a head start on any exam questions which involve ECS.

We're going to be using ECS a lot more as we move through the course and we're going to be using it in some of the Animals for Life demos as we implement progressively more complex architectures later on in the course.

For now I just wanted to give you the basics but you've done really well if you've implemented this successfully without any issues.

So at this point go ahead, complete this video and when you're ready join me in the next.

Since not all plants show this diurnal time course I would write the sentence a bit different, putting the more important part in front: The optical properties of the epidermis vary strongly in response to exposure to blue light and UV radiation and may also vary even during the day (Barnes et al. 2015) and during the season (Solanki et al. 2019, Pescheck and Bilger 2019).

I think before "that" there is no comma.

I would delete this comma.

... than was thought 12 years AGO? I would not refer in this way to the previous edition. Suggestion: In recent years, the importance of the role of time and timing in responses to UV radiation became more obvious. However, the following text does not refer to the time factor, but rather to the interaction of the various photoreceptors.

These citations need to be included

... signalling in the shade avoidance response

Also cyanobacteria can sense UV-B radiation. I'm quite sure that we have not yet found all possible UV-B receptors. I think we need to do some more literature search and write something about the potential existrance of other UV-B receptors.

Since we don't talk about the consequences of light reception thorugh the other receptors, I would not include the generation of ROS by light reception here. There are two more figures for signal transduction below. Should we include another one on ROS? Since this is a somewhat uncertain topic, I would not do that but rather add a little paragraph (at the time of writing this I have not yet read the whole chapter).

At some point we need to update all citations. I won't do that now, but in a separate session.

Royal Quiet De Luxe Typewriter Adjustment Print Quality Height Balance On-Feet Shift Motion by [[Phoenix Typewriter]]

He made sure the carriage isn't out of alignment which can cause on feet issues as well.

Adjust the basket stops higher or lower as necessary. Try 1/2 to full turn and test each

The adjustment points are between the body and the carriage about an inch inside the body shell.

Do upper case first. The first set of screws/nuts just next to the outside of the typewriter are for lower case and the second set just inside of those are for upper case.

Turning the adjustment screws clockwise should push the carriage stops down just a bit.

Some good characters to check are H, h, p, y, and 8.

When doing type alignment, Duane Jensen was taught to use an old/used ribbon instead of a new, wet/dark ribbon for better performance in testing. New ribbons don't show the differences as well.

He's noticed that ribbon from Around the Office are dreadful.

Surprising how low the percentage of "cases filed in California's trial courts result in an appellate disposition" are. Personally I thought it was a low number but something like 2-3%, not in the hundredths of a decimal. Given how low the percentage is it helps me get another reason why casebooks focus so much appellate rather than trial court designs. If a case is heard in appellate court that automatically gives it some importance in the legal world.

Sounds very similar to the phrase "when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail." With very little understanding of the law these unimportant surface-level details are viewed as important, these "post-literate" individuals (as the paper calls them) trying to make these unrelated cases connect to what they are researching. I presume that only through a good understanding of how to properly do legal research that this issue is resolved.

Books are about large blocks of uninterrupted time...

( ~13:00)

Perhaps. I don't think so. With a Zettelkasten I believe you can write without 4-hour deep work blocks... However, maybe he is right... I haven't really written yet so I can't be certain.

Ryan Holiday says that our society struggles with accepting that we owe things to other people...

This reminds me of Simone Weil's notion of "no rights, only responsibilities"... A right by itself has no power, only obligation has. A right is an obligation toward us fulfilled. Only other people have rights, and we have obligations.

Getting into this frame of mind allows one to live a far more righteous and fulfilled as well as calm life. Once you acknowledge that you have no rights, you can not cling to them, and thus you don't view things as unfair to you.

"The Stoic Practice is a Dialogue With The Self" -- Ryan Holiday (~7:58)

I think this is also true for Zettelkasten. You write for yourself. Only you need to understand your notes, nobody else.

Stoicism is about taking the thorn out of your own eye before throwing stones at others.

( ~5:58)

"You get surprised even by your own notes."

Yes, that's exactly what Niklas Luhmann mentioned as the prerequisite for effective communication (with a Zettelkasten).

"You can see I have quite a lot notes I have to make."

This is a difference in mentality between Ryan Holiday and me (as well as Muhammed Ali Kilic)

@M.AKilic50

Our mentality (inspired by GTD and other standard productivity stuff, mostly Flow) is to avoid creating homework.

You don't HAVE to make notes on something. You select what you deem valuable and are interested in working with at the moment.

Because of the marginal gains effect I wrote about earlier, it doesn't matter if you don't make a lot of notes. Besides, you can always return later--especially with a proper bib card and potentially a custom index/ToC for a book.

A Zettelkasten is the lazy man's path to excellence.

(this is an ironic statement of mine because a Zettelkasten asks a lot of work over time. However, it doesn't have to be on a day to day basis. Plus you work only on what you want, hence it doesn't require that much discipline.)

"If you do one or two positive contributions a day, it adds up." - Ryan Holiday

Perhaps this is the essence of both Zettelkasten and Commonplace books; Marginal Gains.

Exponentional Increase over time. Upon first glance, it seems linear (1+1 = 2)... However, the formula is different because, at least in Zettelkasten, a new note means N new possible connections as this new note can virtually be connected to all other notes. In a Zettelkasten this is explicit, in a commonplace book connections are implicit.

Engaging in a Zettelkasten/Commonplace book in this way is equal to inherent spaced repetition and recall perhaps?

Especially if you allow some time of rumination... Read book, wait a few days to a few weeks before processing it. The book's contents remain in the back of your mind.

Then when processing you get engaged with the substance again and therefore interrupt the ebbinghaus curve.

Perhaps I need to argue more with the authors and the content, as Adler & van Doren also recommend.

This might be a limitation in (the way I do) Zettelkasten. Because I am not writing in the margins and not engage in "tearing up" the book, I am less inclined to argue against/with the work.

Maybe I need to do this more using bib-card. Further thought on implementation necessary...

Perhaps a different reason is that I like to get through most books quickly rather than slowly. Sometimes I do the arguing afterward, within my ZK.

I need to reflect on this at some point (in the near future) and optimize my processes.

Watching this now, I am reminded that I really want to read more. To become erudite.

This is true due to the risk of getting robbed.

It is a good idea to rebuild trust within the community.

Its smart to play into what people want.

This makes sense, as people were in a big panic then.

This was after Elliot had laid into Tatiana about using the dragon for show and not for reasons that may somewhat be valuable for her in the long run.

This is a way that Elliot shows even though Tatiana can be worrisome he still felt some type of empathy for her in this situation.

I think it's very smart to focus on rebuilding the countrys economy.

I think this is only semi true, as another form of happiness is due to the relief having money brings.

I find it interesting that hes making it out, to seem like a problem he too faces.

I like the fact his trying to be honest.

How many things had to go perfectly for me to exist in the flesh?

It's interesting to see the major effect the Great Depression had on America.

It's crazy the difference in salary between farmers on the West Coast and farmers in the South.

I think it's interesting that his presidency had such a devastating effect.

I think it's so crazy how so much money can disappear in a blink of an eye.

I found this passage really shocking. It’s surprising that many people thought the economy would bounce back quickly when things were so bad. Hoover saying “the depression is over” feels almost unreal. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff made things worse, causing trade to drop a lot. This shows how quickly hope can turn into trouble, especially with bad decisions.

I found this information really surprising. It’s shocking that while the stock market was doing well, most Americans weren’t getting richer. The gap between the rich and poor was huge, with the wealthiest seeing their incomes rise a lot while everyday people struggled. It’s hard to believe that the government supported policies that helped the rich even more. This shows that a strong economy doesn’t mean everyone is doing well, and we need to pay attention to these inequalities to prevent future problems.

I found it surprising how easily people could buy stocks with borrowed money during the 1920s. They only needed to put down a small percentage, like $50 to buy $1,000 worth of shares. It worked well while prices went up, but when the market dropped, they couldn’t pay back their loans, which helped cause the big crash. It’s shocking how this risky system led to the stock market collapse and eventually the Great Depression.

I found this pretty funny! The idea of using stock market terms for love is clever, but it’s ironic that the song came out just before the stock market crashed. It’s surprising how quickly the mood changed from excitement to the Great Depression.

Roosevelt's use of presidential authority to bring about long-lasting change is interesting.

I'm glad president franklin got majority voted because i felt like Herbert hoover would've done worse for the country.

I wonder when this whole time took place, I feel like it was the time when hoover was president, and I heard that he was a selfish corrupt president since he was not helping his people.

That's super crazy after how the old soldiers sacrificed their own life to help the country in war, just for them to get treated like this.

I wonder what the difference from before and after the making of the movie was towards the sympathy for migrants. Was it the increased awareness of their struggles or the similarities between their struggles and US citizen's struggles of the time?

Seems kind of obvious that other countries would want to retaliate if the US was charging so much for imports, while not having to pay nearly as much in exports.

This is such a horrible response to those in need. The veterans worked for the US to help it cause, and they're just being tossed aside.

I'm confused on how this wasn't seen as a problem. To me, it seems like people are getting a large sum of money from just a small buy in. How did 1000 dollars worth of shares come from just 50 to 100 dollars?

The light could be a symbol for the afterlife and by continuing on the group could be ultimately racing towards their end.

Tragedy will often bring an unlikely group together and allow them to bond.

Creates a dark and cynical tone for the story and may foreshadow tragedy later on since they are all aware that there is a chance they will die at sea.

Changing numbering to reflect list of options would be more clear. In this case, "2. cout << h->key << endl;"

All theory is a learning in the development of a child, therefore it helps us in the social, cultural, emotional, physical, cognitive growth, etc. For me, Vygolsky's theory is essential since through the cognitive we learn to develop within society also through our own experiences

If all members of the household collaborated in household chores, it would be of great help to everyone because we are all putting in the time, effort and attitude to have a clean healthy home and work together.

The main role I have in my family is to be a mother and a provider. I take care of my kids , help around the house, and bring income to the house. Some boundaries I wish I had is spending more time with my family, because communication and relationships is important to me, but I am always working, and my kids are always busy.

This last line is very powerful. It affirms the rootedness of Native Americans in Californian lands as their beliefs and myths themselves were centered around the mundane things that were "the body, the village, the earth".

Often rare to find myths resemble more human, tangible features that we can relate to more.

I really love the idea of just "going to be." Like others have touched upon, this creation story is distinct from others I know about in that its intentions are plain and simple: they want the people to live freely and happily--as compared to having to earn happiness and basic necessities like food via strict customs and/or values.

This is what basic principle we have learned in science class or experiment. The variable in the experiment should be seriously asked. No other factors are allowed to create chaotic results or bias. People's attention sometimes are attracted by absurd or strange news, so they are easy to spread those wrong messages.

This is what we have learned in science class and experiments. We should always make sure of the accuracy of the setting. No other elements or factors affect the result with errors. And this is also related to the content of the class I am taking this quarter: Calling Bullshit.

Most of the time, social media always wanna gain information and track people's actions. The registration not only asks for basic contact information like email and phone number. Gender, interests, invite friends are the purpose of using social media and are included as unskippable steps.

What does realism mean here?

Wow, I didn't know that Romeo and Juliet is from some other story!

What does antiquity mean?

I believe only the numerator needs to be multiplied here.

Após a leitura dos materiais partilhados, deixo aqui um contributo do que me parece essencial: A seleção das atividades eletrónicas é crucial para um ensino e uma aprendizagem eficazes em ambientes virtuais. Almenara, Osuna & Cejudo (2014) sugerem critérios para a seleção da melhor atividade eletrónica, incluindo a consideração das caraterísticas dos alunos, a mobilização de diferentes aptidões, a promoção de diversas competências e a maior motivação. As actividades electrónicas são cruciais para a aprendizagem dos alunos, apoiando os objectivos e integrando-se no currículo. A motivação é essencial para reforçar as necessidades de aprendizagem. O feedback imediato é crucial para compreender os progressos e identificar as áreas a melhorar. As actividades electrónicas permitem uma aprendizagem online ativa e participativa, utilizando princípios e tecnologias apropriados. A escolha de uma estrutura de atividade eletrónica depende das opções pedagógicas, didácticas e metodológicas.

reply to u/General-Writing1764 at https://old.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1g7a8y5/does_anyone_know_how_do_they_make_new_platens/

I'm guessing that JJ Short is taking the original, removing the rubber. Placing the core into a mold and pouring in new material which hardens. Once done they put it on a lathe and turn it down to the appropriate (original) diameter. Potentially they're sanding the final couple of thousands of an inch for finish.

I'd imagine that if you asked them, they could/would confirm this general process.

The only other shop I've heard doing platen work is Bob at Typewriter Muse, but I haven't gone through his YouTube videos to see what his process looks like. (I'm pretty sure he documents some of it there.)

The assertion that these bones "can harm no one" introduces a paradox. While they signify death and the end of vitality, their inertness suggests that the past cannot actively disrupt the present. This resonates with the broader themes of the poem, which often grapple with the weight of history and the haunting presence of memory. In a world characterized by despair, the line hints at a resigned acceptance of the past’s inability to inflict further harm, positioning it as a relic rather than an active force.

The repetition of "Shantih shantih shantih" in the final lines of "The Waste Land" functions as a continuum rather than a concrete ending, embodying a search for peace amidst chaos. The term, meaning "the peace that passeth understanding," resonates deeply with the poem’s overarching themes of fragmentation and despair.

This triplet of peace is both a culmination and an invitation, suggesting that true tranquility may lie not in resolution but in the ongoing quest for harmony. Instead of providing a definitive conclusion, the repetition creates a rhythmic pulse that echoes throughout the poem, reminiscent of a mantra. It invites the reader to contemplate the cyclical nature of existence—where endings lead to new beginnings.

The line "I do not know whether a man or a woman" emerges from the section "A Game of Chess," which delves into the disintegration of human connection. This line signifies the speaker’s existential uncertainty, reflecting a world where traditional gender roles and identities have become muddied and irrelevant.

Here, the ambiguity echoes the broader themes of alienation and fragmentation, as the characters struggle to communicate and connect. The uncertainty of gender mirrors the breakdown of personal relationships, suggesting that in a chaotic, post-war landscape, even the most fundamental aspects of identity are in flux. This disorientation emphasizes the emotional paralysis faced by individuals, reinforcing the haunting sense of isolation pervading the poem.

In T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," the line "Who is the third who walks always beside you?" evokes a haunting presence, layering the poem with existential uncertainty and a sense of companionship laced with disquiet. From the speaker's point of view, this line captures an intimate yet unsettling inquiry that transcends the immediate relationships, hinting at a spiritual or existential specter that accompanies the living.

The phrase suggests an ambiguous, almost spectral companionship—one that suggests both intimacy and alienation. The “third” figure implies a triangular relationship, where the speaker and another are not alone; instead, they are shadowed by an elusive presence. This presence is not just a literal figure but symbolizes collective trauma, history, or perhaps the weight of modern disillusionment. It evokes a sense of haunting, as if the past—whether personal or cultural—lingers ominously, shaping the present.

Moreover, the use of “who” implies a search for identity, suggesting that the speaker grapples with understanding not just the presence of this third entity, but also their own place within the existential landscape of the poem. The question is both a plea and a probe, inviting readers to ponder the nature of companionship in a fractured world. The haunting nature of this inquiry lies in its open-endedness; it suggests that the answer may elude the speaker, reinforcing the poem's overarching themes of fragmentation and despair.

Ultimately, this line encapsulates the haunting complexity of human experience—where the past, the present, and the metaphysical intertwine, leaving the speaker (and the reader) in a state of reflective disquiet. The third figure symbolizes both loss and the ongoing search for meaning, a companion that walks with us, whether we acknowledge it or not.
