    2. ‘politics’ may beunderstood in narrow terms, as the workings of political parties, processes,and institutions. Politics may also be understood in a wider sense, as thestruggle for power more broadly, as this struggle takes place both in theprivate as well as the cultural sphere, and by symbolic as well as materialmeans.

      만약 스크립트가 <head>나 <body> 윗부분에 위치하고, 그 스크립트 안에 다음과 같은 전역 코드가 있다면:

      JavaScript // external.js (head에서 로드됨) const btn = document.getElementById("submit-btn"); btn.addEventListener("click", () => { ... }); 브라우저는 아직 <body> 아래쪽에 적힌 <button id="submit-btn"> 태그를 읽지도 못한 상태입니다.

      그런데 중간에 스크립트를 만나 실행부터 해버리므로 document.getElementById("submit-btn")은 null을 반환합니다.

      결국 null.addEventListener(...)가 되어 TypeError (Cannot read properties of null)가 발생합니다.

    1. He just made Harmony do a maternity photoshoot, and it's looking more and more likely his firstborn son is going to have to do one too 😂

    2. Ahmad seeded Irish #12 in the survey and Josh had him #9, and Irish just beat the two Erics who voted him dead last. Ahmad is a 21.8-point favorite, the biggest gap on the board. Can Irish continue his reign against all his haters?

      Tbh I’m probably about to turn back into a pumpkin and donate a dub for the cause with my K9bye but I’m hopeful

    1. If resonating is to be more than an empty phrase, one should be able to describe the mechanisms it engages.

      I think this points out an important weakness in Gibson’s explanation. Saying that we resonate to information sounds like it explains perception, but unless we can explain what is actually happening to make that possible it almost just gives the process a new name. I like this criticism because it seems possible to agree with Gibson that information in the environment is richer than we assume while still thinking that we need an explanation of how the brain detects and uses it.

    2. In contrast, a different picture emerges when one conceives of inputs as temporally extended and arising through active exploration of the environment.

      I like the idea of perception being based on active exploration because it challenges the assumption that the brain is just given incomplete information and has to figure out what is out there. Moving through an environment actually changes the information available to us, so perception might depend just as much on what we do as on what the brain does with the information afterward.

    3. Ultimately, connectionism’s success depends on how much of cognition it is able to explain without having to avail itself of a language-like conceptual apparatus.

      This made the debate over connectionism make more sense to me because it seems like the real test is whether a network can explain complex thinking without secretly relying on the same kinds of rules and symbols it is supposed to replace. The example of language especially makes me question whether patterns of activity alone can explain something as structured as a sentence, or if some form of symbolic organization is still needed.

    1. 1985: APA, along with the American Educational Research Association and the National Council on Measurement in Education, issues a new set of Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. This is the fifth set of standards spanning a 30-year period. The new edition highlights rights and privileges of test takers and includes attention to nonnative English speakers, along with race, ethnicity, and culture (Wagner, 1987)

      I believe that this is great! It takes into consideration the different circumstances of each individual they are testing; these circumstances might be a large factor in the test results of some individuals. Testing should not be one-size-fits-all; it should take these circumstances into account when determining factors about the individuals being tested.

    2. 1978: Thirty representatives of the Ethnic Minority Psychology Associations (EMPAs) convene with APA leadership to urge APA to provide a strong presence for ethnic minority concerns in the organization (Jones, 1999; Smith & Pickren, 2018; Sue, 1983). They recommended the formation of a Board of Ethnic Minority Affairs (BEMA). Council rejected this proposal, and APA formed the Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs. The following year, the APA Board proposed creating a standing bylaws committee instead of BEMA, but Council rejected this and put the issue to the membership (Conger, 1980). It passed, and APA established the Board of Ethnic Minority Affairs in 1980. In 1990, BEMA was sunset, and the Committee on Ethnic Minority Affairs took its place.

      Why would they reject BEMA when it is to help represent minorities? In addition, why was there so much going back and forth, trying to oppose the ideas and rather make them their own? What changes were included in their opposing committee? Makes me wonder if there was a reason for this; did they have an intent for the committee they were trying to create?

    3. 1978: The first report from the President’s Commission on Mental Health is issued, documenting overrepresentation of people of color in mental health statistics and the lack of effective services for these communities. Subpanels attending to individual ethnic and racial groups stressed the presence of discriminatory barriers for people of color seeking services and the need for policies that accounted for the needs and experiences of each group (Grob, 2005).

      If there is an overrepresentation of people of color according to a report of the President's Commission on Mental Health and mental health statistics, what is the reason for them being the greatest group that experiences discriminatory barriers when seeking services? Their overrepresentation should emphasize the need for services, yet they are experiencing additional hardships due to discrimination.

    4. 1986: Logan Wright becomes the first American Indian to serve as president of APA, 93 years after the Association’s founding (Gray, 2012).

    5. 1979: Congressional hearings for the Truth in Testing Act are held. White psychologists testified regarding the utility of ability-based scoring and the generalizability of testing. Black psychologists reiterated that standardized testing is problematic and discriminatory (US Government Printing Office, 1980). This same year, the Federal District Court of Northern California rules in favor of five Black students who had been placed in special education classes due to their performance on psychological tests. The case centered on the use of psychological tests and their role in blocking educational and economic opportunities for Black youth in California (Larry P. v. Riles, 1979).

    6. 1974: APA sponsors the Vail Conference, leading to recommendations that any psychologist counseling persons of culturally diverse backgrounds must be trained and competent to work with such groups. This led to the establishment of several boards and committees, along with guidelines and further recommendations. However, few institutions offered training in this skill, and in 1977, fewer than 1% of psychologist counselor educators required students to study diverse cultures. Practitioners representing these groups called for specific ethical requirements and reflection of those requirements in accreditation and licensing (Casas, Ponterotto, & Gutierrez, 1986).

    7. The author argued that reaction time was a primitive reflex and that the superior, more evolved intelligence of White participants resulted in more contemplative thought and slower reaction times. 1897: In a study of Black and White children, Stetson (1897) found that Black children outperformed White children on a memory task. The author attributed this to the greater mnemonic ability of their “primitive brains.” He further described Black children as being deficient in reasoning.

      Despite Black and First Nations people statistically outperforming their white peers according to gathered data, in order to uphold white supremacist ideology, both authors crafted a racist explanation that positioned Black and First Nations people in relation to 'primative-ness'. By aligning people of color with 'primative-ness', the authors misportrayed whiteness as contemplative, inherent 'sophistication'.

    8. scientific racism—defined as the use of scientific concepts and data to create and justify ideas of an enduring biologically based hierarchy (Winston, 2020)

      Although modern science has made significant efforts to deconstruct the most noticeable aspects of scientific racism, scientific racism still permeates to this day in unchecked cultural blind spots.

    9. a central early event in the study of individual differences and psychometrics in European and U.S. psychology

      Although it can be effective to compare two metrics of psychology, from an early age, psychology has revolved around the United States and Europe and has excluded other cultures' understanding of psychology.

    10. Psychologist Raymond Cattell argues against the “mixture of blood between racial groups” (Cattell, 1933, p. 155). A few years later, he declared that Black individuals have “contributed practically nothing to social progress and culture” and argued against their full citizenship (Cattell, 1937, p. 56). Cattell argued that these individuals should “be brought to euthanasia” for this inferiority. In 1972, he again argued that such “race mixing” would result in “the intelligent maintainers of the culture being completely replaced by lower intelligences” (Cattell, 1972, p. 154). He continued to maintain the dangers of race-mixing through the early 1990s.

      Another example of utilizing eugenic pseudo- science with political motivation. It can also serve for a justification for the lack of trust in our scientific institutions by African-American individuals in our modern society.

    11. The Johnson-Reed Act passes, limiting immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe and favoring immigrants from Northern and Western Europe. The goal of the Act, as stated, was to preserve American homogeneity. Italians, Greeks, and Eastern European Jews were heavily impacted and Syrian immigration was limited to 100 people per year. It further extended a ban on Asian immigration. Psychological research was cited by eugenics leaders in congressional testimony leading up to passage of the Act. It was argued that immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe were endowed with inherently poor genetic material and that restriction was needed to preserve American racial stock (Doyle, 2014; Laughlin, 1923; Tucker, 1994; Gelb, Allen, Futterman, & Mehler,1986 ).

      As stated in my prior annotation, there was political motive that was tainting the data and its interpretation in order to push a political narrative. It's interesting that racists were willing to fabricate the data back in the day, while today they just lie about the data to justify their harmful populist policies.

    12. Culturally biased test questions and examination procedures, along with an assumption of White, American normativity, led to results that established a clear racial hierarchy of performance with White, American-born recruits scoring highest on IQ tests and Black recruits, particularly those from the American south, scoring the lowest. 89% of Black recruits were labeled by the Committee as “morons” (Kevles, 1968; Rury, 1988; Yerkes, 1921).

      This study felt like it was working backwards from its conclusion and did not bother to consider other variables that may lead to lower results from certain races like access to education and such. From other history classes I've learned that eugenics was a theory being pushed for political reasons (not so different from today) instead of trying to approach it scientifically to discover the truth.

    13. the gap between research and practice is particularly wide for racial and ethnic minorities.

      This is very revealing in regards to why racial disparities in the United States remain untreated despite there being "research" occasionally being conducted. When the government does studies into racial minorities, they don't always do anything with this information, making these researches pointless. They can say that they've done research into these issues to appease the public, but they continue to neglect said problems and the systems which put minorities down remain unchanged.

    14. Whitney blames “organized Jewry” for suppressing the “truth” about racial differences.

      Whitney, despite being a psychologist, used his professional position as a platform to support a white supremacist using antisemitic rhetoric to promote scientific racism. His position as a professional allows him to spread his racist ideology to people in the public who also follows similar white supremacist sentiments and they may justify their beliefs because a professional shares their opinions on race. It also reveals that there are people within the psychology field who will promote discriminatory practices and spread hate through their careers.

    1. formula

      This should be annotated as v_1 and v_2, not u and v.

      There is no clear reason why v/|v|=<5/sqrt(29)+2/sqrt(29)> and u/|u|=<3/sqrt(58)+7sqrt(58)> ? Should the plus signs be commas? Is there some mysterious vector u I'm not seeing here?

    2. Find the dot product of v1=5⁢i+2⁢j

      I just want to enter a note that it was not obvious that vector-v=<a,b> and <a,b> is equal to a i-vector+b j-vector.

    3. Example 8.8.5

      Not sure how you got here given the problem the example gave. 17+16=31?? This problem description doesn't even belong here. Shouldn't it be "given u= and v=, find 3u+2v="?

    1. In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was established within the Department ofHealth, Education, and Welfare (renamed the Department of Health and Human Services in1980). The National Medical Care Expenditure Survey (NMCES) of that year provided detaileddata on how much individuals were spending on health care

      This shows how health policy continued to develop by focusing on both access and the cost of health care. The creation of the Health Care Financing Administration in 1977 and the National Medical Care Expenditure Survey helped the government better understand how much people were spending on health care. I think collecting this information was important because policymakers need to understand the financial burden of health care in order to make effective decisions.

    2. The Social Security Act was passed in 1935, which includedgrants for Maternal and Child Health, which restored many of the programs established under theSheppard-Towner Act.4 It also expanded the role of the Children’s Bureau to include childwelfare services.

      The history of health policy shows that the United States has been debating access to health care for a very long time. I found it interesting that during the Great Depression, the government recognized the need for policies that could provide employment, retirement, and medical care, but national health reform still did not move forward. The Social Security Act of 1935 did provide grants for maternal and child health, showing that the government was beginning to take a larger role in protecting people's health.

    1. If students cannot answer a question, the teacher may need to rephrase the question,

      This is another important factor. A assessment might make total sense to you, but if the students cannot understand the assessment than it needs to be changed so they can better understand what the goal is.

    2. Recognizing what type of practice you are requiring students to engage in

      I think this helps to also see the success of the students as they walk through the assessment. Even things like body language can help a teacher see if a student is understanding content. Another reason it is important for the teacher to move around the classroom during the course of the class instead of staying in one spot during the whole class period.

    3. The first two, equivalent and analogous, are forms of appropriate practice, meaning they align with the learning objective

      I think this sentence is very important because any assessment needs to line up with the objective that you are trying to teach at the time. So if the assessment cannot match up with the adjective than another assessment needs to be made that can better address the needs of the class during the objective.

    1. palpable change in the economic scene during these years that was crucial to thedefeat of universal health care and other progressive reform plans. For some threedecades following World War II, as Dean Baker explains in The End of LoserLiberalism, strong economic growth in the United States had been accompaniedby a growth of income at all levels on the economic ladder.

      This section stood out to me because it shows how economic conditions and political influence can shape health care policy. The growing cost of health care was used to argue against universal health care, while corporations were becoming more active in influencing government policy. It makes me wonder whether decisions about health care were based primarily on what would improve patients’ health or on concerns about controlling costs and protecting economic interests. As a nursing student, I think this is important because health care policies ultimately affect patients’ access to treatment and the quality of care they receive.

    2. In his 1960 The Constitution of Liberty, Hayek presented what is essentiallythe philosophical essence of health care neoliberalism, an ideology that wouldlater be complemented by developments in the arena of health economics andhealth policy. Hayek argued that the case for “a free health service” rested on afundamental philosophical error, namely on the idea that people’s medical needscould have “an objectively ascertainable character.

      I find this argument interesting because it treats health care more like a personal consumer choice than a basic need. Hayek’s view suggests that individuals should decide how much health care they want based on what they are willing or able to give up financially. However, this could create inequality because people with lower incomes may have to choose between necessary medical care and other basic needs. This makes me question whether health care can truly be treated like an ordinary commodity when people’s health and survival are involved.

    3. The numbers of the uninsured continued torise, but so too did “underinsurance”

      I found this interesting because we often assume that having health insurance means someone can afford medical care. However, this article shows that even insured patients can struggle with high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. I think this is especially important when considering patients who have chronic conditions and need frequent appointments or medications. It makes me realize that improving healthcare access involves more than just providing insurance. We also have to consider whether patients can realistically afford to use their coverage.

    4. ey weren’tsimply avoiding the doctor when they had the sniffles—they were avoidingneeded health care, as well.

      This stood out to me because I think healthcare costs can have a bigger impact on patients than we sometimes realize. While copays and deductibles are meant to prevent unnecessary visits, they can also discourage people from getting care when they actually need it. From a nursing perspective, I think this is concerning because delaying treatment can lead to more serious health problems later on. It makes me question whether saving money should be prioritized when it could negatively affect a patient's health.

    1. Ludendorff finally realised that the war could not be won but he still heldhopes that a peace with favourable conditions was possible as German troopswere standing in France and Belgium and controlled most of EasternEurope.

      Ludendorf's failure led to a catastrophic loss of confidence and a sense of delusion amongst the German military

    2. he Allies attacked with superior manpower, artillery fire and tanks, and amuch higher morale. The failure of the spring offensive and the success of theAllied attacks were disastrous for the morale of German soldiers, and theeffect on the morale of the High Command was even more disastrous

      Allies used their logistical and manpower advantage to its greatest extent, allowing them to take on a wide ranging series of offensives, the Germans simply did not have the manpower or morale to oppose

    3. artillery and aerialsuperiority was overwhelming and the assault troops were well equipped withLewis guns and mortars. Every battalion was accompanied by six tanks. Theresult of the attack was an impressive victory.

      Combined arms warfare helped overcome the German fortifications

    4. he Allied attacks did not go furtherthan their artillery could reach

      Allied forces would consolidate their forces before an attack to make sure they were best prepared to take on the German positions

    5. offensives were launched in rapid succession to prevent the OHL fromdirecting reinforcements to critical points

      Allowed the allies to stretch German forces and prevent German forces from reesetablishing proper defenses

    6. Foch devised a plan consisting of a series of attacks aimed at reachingimportant railway hubs and improving the lines of communication.

      The Allies would not overshot their objectives in order to prevent a continual and slowly weakening offensive

    7. Theirsuperiority in terms of firepower was re-established in the summer of 1918.Rupprecht realised much earlier than Ludendorff that morale among theGerman soldiers was droppin

      Allied firepower and German lack of morale would prove crucial

    8. utthey anticipated that counter-attacks and offensives with narrow objectivescould be effective and break the morale of the German army.

      Idea of General Warfare. Multiple simultaneous attacks which would allow the Allies with their superior logistics to slowly wear down the German army

    9. Germans held positions which still had tobe fortified. The soldiers were much more vulnerable to Allied attacks than inthe fortified positions they had held before the spring offensive.

      The attacks merely created a longer line for Germany to defend and without already prepared fortifications

    10. he German army hadretaken old battlefields or territory which had been destroyed by its troopsduring the tactical retreat to the Hindenburg Line

      The ground taken by the Germans was destroyed and worthless

    11. All in all, the German offensives had made considerable territorial gains,but none of the strategic objectives had been achieved. The BEF and theFrench army had neither been separated, nor had the British troops beenpushed back to the Channel ports, nor had Paris been taken

      Germany had seized ground but without strategic gains, such ground was worthless

    12. aunched a successful counter-attack – also using tanks – against theGerman Fifth and Seventh Armies on 18 July, which forced the Germans toretreat to Soissons on the River Aisn

      French had learned a way to turn back German attacks through timely intelligence, defensive depth, and well placed counterattacks

    13. Once again logistical, especially transportation problems prevented theGerman army from exploiting the strategic opportunities. The attack divisionswere exhausted and supplies, artillery and fresh troops could not be broughtforward quickly enough

      The lack of motorised transport made supply of these massive offensives impossible to sustain

    14. Casualties were high, as here – wherethe BEF could not afford to lose much ground – the defences were deep andheavily fortified. Ludendorff stopped the offensive on 29 April.

      British fortification and timely reserves eventually meant the offensive ran out of gas

    15. The German troopswere exhausted and too far from the railway heads. The lines were over-stretched, there was insufficient motorised transportation and horses, andneither fresh troops nor supplies could be brought forward quickly enough

      Germany simply did not have enough resources to win a victory of such scale especially due to Ludendorff's flip flopping and lack of strategic vision

    16. he front waspushed back forty miles in some areas, but neither had the BEF and the Frencharmy permanently been separated nor had Amiens with its important railwayhub been taken.3

      The lack of a strategic goal left German forces with a large territorial gain but with little intrinsic or strategic value to the land. It merely created a salient which would be difficult to defend

    17. aw the chance to drive a wedge between the BEF and the Frencharmy and inflict the deadly blow on the Allies he had hoped for.

      In doing so he fundamentally redefined his strategic goal

    18. stiff resistance of the British Third Army, but Ludendorff alsoseemed to believe that the BEF had been beaten and that it was now time toturn against the French army to prevent reinforcements being sent to theBritish.

      Ludendorff ambition and confidence ultimately betrayed him as he overstretched his strategic goal

    19. Operation Michael had succeeded on one section of the front where astrategic victory was beyond the possibilities of the German army.Ludendorff, however, had the Eighteenth Army push on, not, as planned, ina north-westerly direction but south and south-west

      Ludendorff decided to take advantage of a local success which compromised his strategic vision

    20. As the Britishhad just taken over part of the front from the French army, the principles ofdeep defence had not yet been fully applied

      British 5th was undermanned and not properly dug in

    21. EF held on to the strategically crucial Vimy Ridge andprevented the German troops from reaching their objectives. Progress wasmade but casualties on the German side were high

      The BEF was able to extract a heavy toll on the Germans weakening their advance as it progressed

    22. Ludendorff referred to his experience on the Eastern Front: attack, find theweak spots, use the momentum and push forward. This gave the offensive ahigh degree of flexibility but the inherent flaw of this plan was that the attackcould splinter into a number of advances without achieving a decisivevictory.

      Ludendorff did not have a strategic objective in mind beside destroying the British army making him far more likely to pivot away from his original plan

    23. Here the German troops would have to cross the old Somme battlefield.This was also very difficult terrain but not as muddy as ‘Flanders fields’

      Somme battlefields were possible to traverse but the extensive destruction made it difficult to exploit gains

    24. the morale of the British soldiers after the costly offensives of1917 would be low, and decided to attack the BEF first.

      Ludendorff saw the defeat of the British as the key to defeating the Allied alliance

    25. The German High Command hadexperienced the resilience of French soldiers and shrank back from taking onthe French army at Verdun, the logical point for an offensive

      Resilience of the French helped dissuade an attack on their lines

    26. developed a new method ofdirecting fire without ranging shots. The artillery aimed its fire at the enemy’sbatteries, Headquarters and lines of communication.

      Firing on these targets would sow confusion throughout an enemies battleline and essential basis for the stormtrooper tactics

    27. brief period of artillery preparation before attacks usinghurricane bombardment with the aim of preventing the Allies from learning earlyon where the major blow would fall.

      Short and intense bombardments meant to take advantage of maximum firepower and surprise

    28. The German army used combined-arms and infiltration tactics, which hadbeen successfully applied by General Oskar von Hutier in the Battle of Riga andwhich were later tested at Caporetto and during the counter-attack at Cambrai.

      Stormtrooper tactics

    29. The troops lived off the country and tried to extract more resources(especially food) from Ukraine. This led to local uprisings which were crushedby German and Austrian troops, generating even more disaffection.

      German exctraction policy led to greater dissatisfaction in their occupied territories

    30. negotiations should begin without conditions and be based on the principleof no annexations or reparations. The offer of peace also included the right ofself-determination of nations which – as later became clear – opened up thepossibility for manipulation.

      Soviet idea of revolutionary diplomacy

    31. y 1918 Czechs and Slovaks were also hoping for an independent state. Thevague promise of more autonomy if the Central Powers won the war wasundercut by the very real possibility of independence in the event of an Alliedvictory.

      Allied promises thus undercut Central Powers vague appeals to the stateless

    32. German ambitions and thevolatile situation in the former Russian Empire prevented the full weight ofGerman military power from being directed to the Western Front.

      Germany did not take full advantage of the release of resources from the Eastern Front.

    33. Ludendorff shared the imperialist dreams of some of the military, political andeconomic elite, and wanted to fully exploit the collapse of the Russian Empireand the power vacuum it created by expanding borders, promoting colonisa-tion and securing German dominance in Eastern Europe for the foreseeablefuture.

      Ludendorff's ambition eventually doomed the German army

    1. I definitely have experience with agnostic bots. Im in the swim club at UW and we use discord to communicate. Last year we started having a problem that agnostic bots invaded the server and kept trying to sell laptops and jeans of all things. We had to do a whole verification system to get rid of the bots.

    2. Social Media managing programs that help people schedule and coordinate posts

      This is interesting that social media management programs that schedule posts and other tools are considered bots. I never really thought about how it worked or what it would be considered. As a marketing major and someone who has worked with social media management tools, I always saw them as a tool for planning content in advance and looking at post analytics, but not as a bot. I've personally used Meta Business Suite the most because it is tied into Instagram and from Meta itself, so I think that's cool that Meta made a bot to help Instagram users, especially businesses. I think of it more as a supportive tool, so I wonder what other applications I use that might be bots that I do not realize. I also wonder how many other businesses or users are using social media management tools without knowing how they are created and what it means to use a bot.

    1. Excessive Profit Making. Many Americans express preference for a health care system that doesnot include or at least does not depend on profit-making companies. Even more Americans oppose thehuge profits made by some health care companies knowing that those profits can make services availableto fewer people.

      suggesting that profit-making companies can encourage unnecessary or excessive use of health care services. I agree that financial incentives can influence health care decisions, but I do not think profit is always negative. Companies that make profits can also invest in new medications, technologies, and services that improve patient care. The more important issue may be finding a balance between making health care available and preventing financial incentives from becoming more important than patients' needs.

    2. Many experts believe that the most important factor driving up health care costs is expensive new med-ical technologies. There is more emphasis in the United States than in any other country on quicklyincorporating new medical technologies. This occurs for several reasons. Medical providers want tooffer the best possible care to patients, and high-technology innovations are often viewed as the high-est-quality treatments. Hospitals often engage in fierce competition with each other and want to attracttop physicians and other providers. Having the latest equipment (whether or not it substantially improvespatient outcomes) can be an effective marketing device both to the community and to medical providers(Bodenheimer 2005).

      This paragraph explains that the increasing use of expensive medical technology contributes to higher health care costs. However, the cause seems to go beyond simply having new technology. Hospitals may purchase advanced equipment to attract patients and physicians, and once the equipment is available, there is a financial incentive to use it. This creates a cycle where technology increases availability, availability increases use, and increased use contributes to higher spending.

    3. on average paid US$6,200 (83 percent) and the employee paid US$1,270 (17 percent). Employeestypically pay a moderately higher percentage for a family policy. In 2020. The average family insurancepolicy cost US$21,342 of which employers paid US$15,579 (73 percent) and employees paid US$5,763(27 percent).

      The reading states that the average family health insurance policy cost $21,342 in 2020, with employees paying $5,763 of that amount. This number makes me wonder how affordable employer-sponsored insurance really is for families with lower incomes. Even when an employer pays most of the premium, the employee still has to pay additional costs such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The numbers suggest that having insurance does not necessarily mean that health care is affordable.

    4. This was the advent of a private-market, employer-based health insurance system. Individuals andfamilies without employer-sponsored health insurance but with sufficient wealth could purchase theirown policies. Those without health insurance coverage and without adequate financial resources couldnot afford to access the system, but this was seen as an acceptable result for people who had not suc-cessfully competed in the job world.

      This paragraph really hit home for me. I grew up as the daughter of farmers who never had the option of employer-sponsored health insurance, and I watched them make sacrifices and often go without coverage for us and for themselves. By the time I was 14, I'd been on seven different health plans, because every time the market changed, my parents had to adjust. It's hard for me to accept that my parents worked every single day and still weren't "successful" by this definition.

    1. Scholars note several defining moments fromthe 18th century through the modern day, such as observations of differences in health conditions between thewealthy and the impoverished, among people employed in various industries, and between those with and withoutaccess to clean water (Bynum, 1983; LaBerge, 1993; Porter, 1991).

      This comment stood out to me because it shows how we came to think about health and how it transitioned from treating health as an individual problem to treating it as a society problem. The authors mention how this can be traced all the way back to the 18th century where they realized that health is different for everyone. A specific example mentioned is the difference between people that have access to clean water and those that do not have access to clean water. This observation led to people recognizing that a healthy population and a healthy society depend on each other.

    1. O Time, thou must untangle this, not I. 0701  It is too hard a knot for me t’ untie.

      In here Viola realize that this current situation is complicated and she is unable to solve it. So she decides to leave it to the time to solve it.

    1. Nice work! Pretty cool to see that solid execution on a relatively simple idea (auto copy/pasting single-animal blobs to synthesize overlap) can give such strong results. I'm testing AMADEUS on some C. elegans crawling data right now, and so far it handles detection and tracking of overlapping worms better than anything else I've tried.

      I'm curious whether you tried or considered YOLO-seg in place of the OBB detector. Since you already have the single-animal blob masks during synthesis, it seems like they could double as training targets, and I'd guess that might help with strongly curved or coiled animals where an OBB is a pretty rough description of the body (like my worms). Is segmentation something you're thinking about for a future version? And if not, why not? Was it too difficult defining mask targets under heavy occlusion, fitting it in with the direction-class scheme, speed, or something else?

      Thanks for releasing the code and the GUI!

    1. "No," he said aloud in the stillness of the attic. "Atreyu wouldn't give up just because things were getting a little rough. What I've started I must finish. I've gone too far to turn back. Regardless of what may happen, I have to go forward."

      Bastian decides not to give up, showing that he is becoming more like Atreyu.

    2. Even if Atreyu had wanted to turn back and had known what direction to take, it would not have been possible. He had gone too far and could only keep on going. If only he himself had been involved, he might have sat down in a cave and quietly waited for death, as the Greenskin hunters did. But he was engaged in the Great Quest: the life of the Childlike Empress and of all Fantastica was at stake. He had no right to give up.

      Atreyu keeps going because he knows his quest is bigger than himself.

    1. all from my cup of tea

      The taste of the madeleine brings his entire childhood world back to him. Places, people, and experiences that were forgotten suddenly become clear. This shows the incredible power of sensory memory.

    2. And suddenly the memory returns.

      The madeleine reminds him of his childhood in Combray. This is an example of how a small sensation can unlock a forgotten memory.

    3. a shudder ran through my whole body

      The taste of the tea and madeleine causes a powerful physical reaction. He realizes that the sensation is connected to something from his past. This shows how strongly senses can affect memory.

    4. The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object

      Sometimes an object or sensation can bring the past back unexpectedly. This connects to the theme of memory in the novel.

    1. The novel's main themes are time and memory and the power of art

      Proust believed that memories could connect people to their past. He also explored how art can survive even as time changes everything. These ideas are important throughout his work.

    2. Swann’s Way, the first volume of In Search of Lost Time

      Swann's Way was the first part of Proust's famous series. It was published in 1913 and became very successful. The series focuses heavily on memories and experiences from the past.

    3. he even called himself an owl

      He used the quiet nighttime hours to write and think. This unusual schedule became an important part of his lifestyle.

    4. he always knew that he wanted to be a writer.

      Proust knew from a young age that writing was what he wanted to do. Even though he studied philosophy and law, he followed his passion for literature. This shows how important writing was to his life.

    5. In 1910, he had his bedroom lined with cork to block out the deafening noise of daytime Paris because he slept during the day and wrote through the night, after returning home from some of Paris's most exclusive salons. He was known as the city's most famous recluse, he even called himself an owl because he wrote while listening to his “nocturnal Muse.”

      he kinda was nocturnal because he slept during the day and wrote at night

    6. Marcel Proust was born on July 10, 1871 in the Paris suburb of Auteuil. His father, Dr. Adrien Proust, was one of France's most distinguished scientists. His mother, Jeanne Weil, was a well-educated woman who loved the great classic writers of the 17th century, especially Molière and Racine

      both of his parents are well known and successful

    1. Whether in professional or personal contexts, positive verbal and nonverbal feedback can boost others’ confidence, and negative feedback, when delivered constructively, can provide important perception checking and lead to improvements

      I think giving feedback is very hard. I say this because in order to give feedback, a person must be actively listening and be able to react back. I personally think it is hard because it is hard to give someone feedback if there is a lack of information. Having low information impacts me to give feedback because I need to know if I know what I am hearing and know what I am talking about.

    2. Listenable messages are orally delivered messages that are tailored to be comprehended by a listener

      I believe listenable messages are hard to understand. I say this because if a person is not listening, they will lose track of the conversation. In these types of messages people need to be actively listening, which is hard when someone gets easily distracted. I personally have a hard time listening to messages because I get distracted very easily and make long conversation hard for me to understand.

    1. Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

      This quote shows that every adult was once a child. It suggests that growing up can make people lose their imagination and creativity. The author wants readers to remember the way children see the world.

    1. But, were I to go on with thee, how should I meet the eye of that good old man, our minister, at Salem village? Oh, his voice would make me tremble, both Sabbath day and lecture day!

      Man from the woods says he knows many people high up who Brown looks up to

    2. I have been as well acquainted with your family as with ever a one among the Puritans; and that 's no trifle to say. I helped your grandfather, the constable, when he lashed the Quaker woman so smartly through the streets of Salem. And it was I that brought your father a pitch-pine knot, kindled at my own hearth, to set fire to an Indian village, in king Philip's War. They were my good friends, both; and many a pleasant walk have we had along this path, and returned merrily after midnight. I would fain bę friends with you for their sake.”

      Man says Brown's father wasn't as good as he thinks. He helped his father harass a Quacker women and helped his grandfather burn down a village.

    3. "Too far, too far!"

      Man tells Brown to walk further into the woods but Brown says that is too deep into the woods IMPORTANT: Brown talks about his father and his father and said they were "race of honest men and good Christians" and since they never went deep into the woods he shouldn't either Man tells brown his father and grandfather arent as good as he thinks they are

    1. 컨트롤러가 한 번 만들어서 넘기는 이유

      처음 추가: Buy milk id = 123

      redo 후: Buy milk id = 456

      doTransaction() 안에서 new ListItem()을 하면 redo할 때마다 새 아이템이 생기기 때문에, 컨트롤러가 아이템을 한 번만 만들고 transaction이 그 같은 객체를 계속 들고 있어야 한다.

    1. To improve listening at the receiving stage, prepare yourself to listen, discern between intentional messages and noise, concentrate on stimuli most relevant to your listening purpose(s) or goal(s), be mindful of the selection and attention process as much as possible, pay attention to turn-taking signals so you can follow the conversational flow, and avoid interrupting someone while they are speaking in order to maintain your ability to receive stimuli and listen.

      I believe preparing yourself when listening to speech is the best way of active listening. I say this because knowing that someone is going to give a speech, the listener must be prepared to put all their focus on the listener. Preparation gives the listener time to focus and to pay attention to detail. In conclusion, being prepared helps the listener focus on the speech giver and time to prepare.

    1. Environmental factors such as lighting, temperature, and furniture affect our ability to listen. A room that is too dark can make us sleepy, just as a room that is too warm or cool can raise awareness of our physical discomfort to a point that it is distracting.

      I think it is true just small little things like temperature can interrupt ability to listen. I say this because when it gets too hot, I get mor distracted with the heat which is a distraction to my hearing. In generaI think small things interrupt my hearing because listening to someone who doesn’t have an interest in makes it hard. I feel like anything can affect listening such as eye contact because looking at someone at the eye while listening makes me not want to listen.

    1. We discover new planets that were not included in the book! So we will be able to share and commune with the French public around this unique work, but also discover the genesis of the work and recall the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a life of commitment to the service of humanistic and positive values. He was at the same time a simple man, a hero and a visionary.

      .

    2. The discovery of the original watercolors of The Little Prince (for the first time in the world) in the Museum of Decorative Arts exhibition will be a moment of fantastic emotional intensity for the public

      .

    3. The Little Prince has the power of poetic seduction, enchantment and healing. It has the power to bring us serenity and hope. It is of capital use for each one of us. Therefore, it is useful and advisable to reread it frequently.

      .

    4. It is first and foremost a book that consoles the loss of a loved one; there are millions of testimonies in this sense. It is also a guide and a survival manual in this absurd world (in the Camusian sense of the term) for those who doubt or wonder about the meaning of life, death and relationships between individuals. It is an esoteric book that brings real answers to these questions if we know how to read between the lines.

      .

    5. The Little Prince, which was commissioned by his American publisher (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was in New York at the time, between 1941 and 1943, before going off to war in North Africa), started out as a nice project to pay the bills and became, through the miracle of my great-uncle’s inspiration and genius, the most universal, timeless and modern fable, which has spoken to people for nearly 80 years (1943-2023).

      .

    6. It is central because it is the best-known work. It is the most translated book in the world (480 languages) and the number of editions and copies sold worldwide (more than 200 million) has been countless. Unique because this literary object does not resemble a novel or the rest of his work. The form is rather like a tale, supposedly for children, but which is in fact addressed to adults (who have not forgotten their childhood). Its success is due as much to the watercolors painted by the author himself as the text.

      .

    1. In 1998, a French fisherman found Saint-Exupéry’s identity bracelet in the ocean off Marseille, and two years later divers found the remains of his aircraft in the same area. This led to the rediscovery of reports from August 1944, of the discovery of a body that could not be identified but was in French uniform washing ashore nearby at that time. Yet this location was far off Saint-Exupéry’s flight path. Although there were reports, never confirmed, that a German pilot had shot down an aircraft like a P-38 in the area on July 31, underwater archaeologists were unable to find any evidence of damage from enemy action in the remains of the aircraft.

      they don't know how or why he crashed but this time it ended his life

    2. He therefore returned to service in North Africa as a reconnaissance pilot in April 1943, flying an F-5B variant of the P-38 Lightning. A crash on his second flight boded ill for Saint-Exupéry’s future, but he was nevertheless ushered back into service after recuperating.

      he kept getting in plane crashes but still flying

    3. When World War II began in 1939, Saint-Exupéry was in the process of recovering from severe injuries he had received in yet another aircraft crash in Guatemala during the previous year.

      .

    4. From there he flew throughout the region, among other things rescuing pilots whose aircraft had gone down in the harsh and forbidding region. The skills he learned in this work would come in handy later on.

    1. I still don’t know where that original book ended up, but I think I’m okay with not finding it. Maybe some things don’t need me to come back to them. Maybe moving forward once and for all is the best course of action. At the end of the day, maybe the point of The Little Prince isn’t that the Aviator and the Prince both go home at the end, but that they left in the first place. Maybe it’s less about being lonely and missing home and more about making the connections that will make us feel at home wherever we are. I know I’m still struggling to learn these lessons, but I know this book will find a way of showing up in my life whenever I need it.

      the story impacted her life more then she ever thought it would

    2. To call The Little Prince anything but a bittersweet story would be a mistake. There’s an emotional depth to it that goes beyond what most children’s stories achieve.

      the title gives a kid book, but once you read it you understand that it has more to it

    3. The Little Prince is obstinately considered a book for children, but the story is one perhaps not fully appreciated until later in life.

      i can understand why she said that

    4. The Little Prince, however, is one that keeps appearing in my life whenever I seem to need it the most. I am immensely grateful to whatever god of stories is out there for putting this book in my life.

      seems important to her

    1. All this evidence of my favorite book’s widespread popularity made me jealous: The Little Prince, I have always believed, was mine—as if it was a book uniquely meant for me.

      why would the book be made for him

    1. A peculiar peace descends onmy mind, as if I partially cease to exist andsomebody else’s soul is living in me insteadof my own.

      Connection to how an actor's craft is connected to her soul. When a successful act is performed, it is as if all the souls of the audience is living inside the actor, experiencing the emotions firsthand.
