    1. 1979年的春天,一个在纽约巴德学院就读的美国大四学生,偶然得到一台宝丽来相机。他兴致勃勃地举起它,偷拍了一张自家女朋友的侧脸。

      也许是恋人的青春笑颜太美好,这名叫做 Jamie Livingston的青年,决定此生每天都要坚持拍摄一张照片,记录当天最美好的光影颜色。

      于是就有了这个“Photo of the Day 每日留念”拍摄项目。

      那时,Jamie并不知道自己的生命将因癌症遗憾地停止在41岁,也没预想到自己当初突发奇想的随手拍摄,在朋友们的支持下居然至死都没有间断。

      1997年10月25日,是个残酷的日子,Jamie没能挺过这一天。

      在“Photo of the Day 每日留念”项目中6000多张照片中,朋友为他拍下了项目中最后一张、也是一张未经他本人策划过的照片。

    1. One reason why Giovanni does not capitalize the word, “English,” could be because it is not used well for communication, unless people “speak through it.”

      No source for a statement that can easily be mistaken for an opinion.

    2. (she was asked by Steger at 5:00 pm on the day of the shootings, giving her less than 24 hours to prepare the speech)

      This is an oddly specific fact. Try to fact check for accuracy

    3. she approached the department chair to have Cho taken out of her class, and said she was willing to resign rather than continue teaching him

      The source says that the student was removed from her class in 2005 according to the source. To add content, this should be included.

    4. In 1964, Giovanni spoke with the new Dean of Women at Fisk University, Blanche McConnell Cowan ("Jackie"), who urged her to return to Fisk that fall. While at Fisk, Giovanni edited a student literary journal (titled Èlan), reinstated the campus chapter of SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee), and published an essay in Negro Digest on gender questions in the Movement.[6] In 1967, she graduated with honors with a B.A. degree in history. Soon after graduation, she suffered the loss of her grandmother, Louvenia Watson, and turned to writing to cope with her death. These poems would later be included in her collection Black Feelings, Black Talk. In 1968, Giovanni attended a semester at University of Pennsylvania and then moved to New York City. She briefly attended Columbia University and privately published Black Feeling, Black Talk.[7] In 1969, Giovanni began teaching at Livingston College of Rutgers University.

    5. Yolande Cornelia "Nikki" Giovanni Jr. was born in Knoxville, Tennessee,[4] to Yolande Cornelia Sr. and Jones "Gus" Giovanni. Soon after her birth, the family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio where her parents worked at Glenview School. In 1948, the family moved to Wyoming, and sometime in those first three years, Giovanni's sister, Gary, began calling her "Nikki." In 1958, Giovanni moved to Knoxville, TN to live with her grandparents and attend Austin High School.[3] In 1960, she began her studies at her grandfather's alma mater, Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, as an "Early Entrant", which meant that she could enroll in college without having finished high school first.[5] She immediately clashed with the Dean of Women, Ann Cheatam, and was expelled after neglecting to obtain the required permission from the Dean to leave campus and travel home for Thanksgiving break. Giovanni moved back to Knoxville, where she worked at a Walgreens drug store and helped care for her nephew, Christopher.

    6. During the 1970s, she began writing children's literature, and co-founded a publishing company, NikTom Ltd, to provide an outlet for other African-American women writers.

      Citation? Where is her publishing company now?

    7. In a 1972 Soul! interview with Mohammed Ali, Giovanni uses her popularity as a speaker to a broader audience to read some of her essay "Gemini" from her book, Gemini.

      this could be moved to an earlier sentence about the Ali interview!

    8. One reason why Giovanni does not capitalize the word, “English,” could be because it is not used well for communication, unless people “speak through it.”

      This feels like conjecture.

    9. she approached the department chair to have Cho taken out of her class, and said she was willing to resign rather than continue teaching him.[12]

      It might be helpful to conclude the sentence by explicitly stating Cho was indeed removed from her class in 2005, as the source states.

    1. where the family lived in public housing projects. He was an avid reader as a child. He describes himself as both a "nerd" and an athlete in his teenage years. At Danville High School, he played football on the school team, was a member of several clubs, and was twice elected class president.[4]

      This information can either be deleted or elaborated on. This either needs more background and information on his life or needs to be deleted.

    2. Bluegrass Black Arts Consortium, the Program Coordinator of the University of Kentucky's King Cultural Center, and the Assistant Director of Purdue University's Black Cultural Center. He regularly teaches in writing programs

      Give background as to what his duties were/what these organizations are.

    3. America! What's My Name? The "Other Poets" Unfurl the Flag. Wind Publications. 2007. ISBN 978-1-893239-63-0. Eclipsing a Nappy New Millennium. Haraka Press. 1998. ISBN 978-0-9664994-0-7.

      Needs to be in quotes and have links to everything.

    4. He was recruited to attend the University of Kentucky in engineering

      This should say: He was recruited to attend the University of Kentucky majoring in Engineering...

    5. A founding member of the Affrilachian Poets,

      There needs to be more information/background on what Affrilachian Poets are. This is where a some background would add backbone to what the author is trying to get across.

    1. When Andrew Carnegie envisioned a museum collection consisting of the "Old Masters of tomorrow", the Carnegie Museum of Art became, arguably, the first museum of modern art in the United States.

      this doesn't seem like a neutral statement

    1. Beginning in the late 1950s, Wharton bought parcels of land on the Kentucky River

      This is so exciting because back in those days women weren't allowed to buy land, so this is super rare.

    2. In 1942, she collected a dewberry from Montgomery County, Kentucky which proved to be a new species; it was named Rubus whartoniae in her honor.

      She was really successful. I love that this highlights what women are really capable of.

    3. In 1916, the family moved to Lexington.

      This sentence just seem to fit right here. Maybe put it somewhere else, or let it flow through with other sentence by coming up with another sentence between the one.

    1. Her passion for poetry sprouted from the visual arts, once she found solace in writing poems and stories. Her writing evolved into a career once she applied to be a writer for the Kentucky Foundation for Women and decided to pursue this practice as a full-time job.[1] Her inspiration comes from her love for storytelling: "Sometimes writing is telling my own story through (other people), and sometimes, it’s telling their stories through my own."[8]

    1. Studies have shown investing in homes for the homeless actually saves money in the long run.[338] It cost approximately $19,208 a year for the state to take care of its homeless people. This is through hospital visits, time in custody, shelter time and ambulance callouts.[339] In comparison, it only cost approximately $7,800 a year for the state to provide a house and holistic case management.[339]

      This is new information for me. I was never presented that providing homes for the homeless was actually cheaper than letting them roam free. Based on these stats, one could assume that a homeless person would be acting more responsibly if they had a home. This is based off of having less ambulance callouts as a result of providing homes.

    2. Though they have not completely stopped homelessness

      Is this even possible? The only way to make a difference is to reduce. There is no way that you can solve homelessness, there will always be homeless people, at least that's my opinion. You shouldn't set your goal at completely stopping homelessness, although optimistic, on paper it really doesn't work.

    3. if you get caught panhandling in the road ways, it's a misdemeanour charge that can cost up to $100 or more depending on how many times you get caught. This is because it's a safety issue and people are often hit at traffic lights when they turn green

      I think that this is extremely interesting. There has to have been countless incidents of this occurring for panhandling in the street to be a misdemeanor charge. This shows that panhandling is a huge issue in regards of frequency. The fact that people are 'often' hit just amazes me.

    4. The first amendment right protects people to ask for money, help or employment on the streets – this includes panhandling or begging

      Adding on to my previous citation, why did the author state that in Utah specifically that panhandling / begging was not a crime? It makes me confused on how after, they cite the first amendment, which applies to every state in the United States.

    5. In the state of Utah begging or panhandling is not a crime

      This stands out to me that they would mention this. It makes me think, is begging and/or panhandling a crime in other states? What would be the punishment for this? Let's say you get sent to jail. It has better living conditions for the homeless so this would be a plus.

    1. In retrosynthetic analysis, a synthon is a hypothetical unit within a target molecule that represents a potential starting reagent in the retroactive synthesis of that target molecule

      In TrailMarks I call the combination of a trailmark and a "target" dot a DotMarks or a clue

      It is an alternative tessalation of a graph Instead of triples Subject - Predicate -Object

      It is kind of

      Predicate - Object

      But here the Predicate = TrailMark

      itself has an elaboration in some Meta MindGraph and is a mark that can be used to impose arbitrary context dependent/bearing interpretation of the some live constructed context

      with a modicum of skint I do see the family resemblance with Synthon

    1. In 1949, she became acting supervisor of the West Area Computers, the first African-American woman to supervise a group of staff at the center.

      Need a source on this piece of information.

    1. Appalachian people are often stereotyped as uniformly white, Anglo-Saxon and Christian, a stereotype which erases the black, indigenous, Asian, Latino, and Jewish communities in Appalachia.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

      Citations are listed but none are unpacked. How are black, indigenous, Jewish, and Latino communities underrepresented?

    2. “Of the acceptable prejudices, meaning those that are either widely accepted, overlooked, or embraced as truth, that remain, the negative mainstream American attitude toward Appalachia has gone largely unchallenged for decades”,

      Quote is not introduced, reads awkwardly. Does not match theme of paragraph introducing the different stereotypes that Appalachian people face

    3. I think I read in Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance that there was discrimination in Illinois and Ohio against people from WV and Eastern KY that made it difficult for them to assimilate into the mid-western culture. Is that relevant? idk. think on this

    1. Facebook (stylized as facebook) is an American online social media and social networking service based in Menlo Park, California, and a flagship service of the namesake company Facebook, Inc. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.

    1. no pheromonal substance has ever been demonstrated to directly influence human behavior in a peer reviewed study.

      Of course not: what scientist is going to confirm homosexuality might not be inborn?

    2. The "gay bomb" and "halitosis bomb" are formal names for two non-lethal psychochemical weapons that a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing. The theories involve discharging female sex pheromones over enemy forces in order to make them sexually attracted to each other. The research and notion today is largely ridiculed for the bizarre idea, as well as the non-effects of turning combatants or subjects gay.

      I love government projects because they aren't held up by "scientific" and political status games and ideological fashion — they get shit done.

    1. Affrilachian-themed art exhibitions

      The works of Affrilachian members have now increased and should be recognized. Example, a book called Black Bone is a poetry book crafted by Affrilachian poets celebrating 25 years of the Affrilachian work

    1. The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the erroneous belief that if a particular event occurs more frequently than normal during the past it is less likely to happen in the future (or vice versa), when it has otherwise been established that the probability of such events does not depend on what has happened in the past. Such events, having the quality of historical independence, are referred to as statistically independent. The fallacy is commonly associated with gambling, where it may be believed, for example, that the next dice roll is more than usually likely to be six because there have recently been fewer than the usual number of sixes.
    1. Though rarer in computer science, one can use category theory directly, which defines a monad as a functor with two additional natural transformations. So to begin, a structure requires a higher-order function (or "functional") named map to qualify as a functor:

      rare in computer science using category theory directly in computer science What other areas of math can be used / are rare to use directly in computer science?

    2. A combinator, typically called bind (as in binding a variable) and represented with an infix operator >>=, that unwraps a monadic variable, then inserts it into a monadic function/expression, resulting in a new monadic value:(mx >>= f) : (M T, T → M U) → M U
    1. What is the opposite of free content?

      The opposite of free/open-source software is proprietary software or non-free software (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software).

      So should we call the opposite of free content "non-free content"? Or "proprietary content"?

      Seems likes either would be fine.

      Looks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content prefers the term "non-free content".

      Couldn't find anyone contrasting these 2 terms (like I could no doubt find for software):

      Not to be confused with:

      • paid content ... just like:
      • free content should not be confused with gratis content (?)
      • free software should not be confused with freeware
    2. A free cultural work (free content) is, according to the definition of Free Cultural Works, one that has no significant legal restriction on people's freedom to: use the content and benefit from using it, study the content and apply what is learned, make and distribute copies of the content, change and improve the content and distribute these derivative works.
    1. Bert Haanstra(伯特·汉斯特若)的这部记录片让人忍不住感叹,想象力从来不曾被时间所束缚。最奇妙的是,全片没有任何解说和旁白。

      但在导演神乎其技的剪辑之下,背景的爵士小调与工匠吹玻璃时的节奏配合的天衣无缝,当工匠们鼓起腮帮子,你会分不清他们是在吹奏小号还是在吹制玻璃。

      在这部11分钟的短片中,工匠精湛灵巧的手艺和机械的流水线生产形成了鲜明的对比,工匠一拉一提就是一个玻璃制品,价值不言而喻。Bert Haanstra把玻璃工艺拍的如此诗意,在1960年,不负众望获得了第32届奥斯卡最佳纪录短片奖。

    1. He picked himself for the match so as to fulfill the BCCI criterion (which requires state administrators to have at least one first-class match experience) for becoming a selector at the state level. After the match, he appointed himself as the chairman of selectors of HPCA Ranji trophy cricket team

      Wow! smells like conflict of interest, ain't it?

    1. The Indie-Verse was an internet audio station based in Dallas, Texas that served the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex as well as all of the United States through its internet presence with a diverse alternative & indie music format. It was also broadcast on KJKK 100.3 HD-3 (HD Radio needed) and was under ownership of CBS Radio. The name was a portmanteau of "Indie", short for "independence" or "independent"; and "Universe".

    1. Kundalini (Sanskrit: कुण्डलिनी kuṇḍalinī, pronunciation (help·info), "coiled snake") is a form of divine feminine energy (or shakti) believed to be located at the base of the spine, in the muladhara.

      so is there multiple types of shakti energy? and is it always a divine female energy? what makes it divine female energy vs male or some type of both genders

    1. 埃丝特·迪弗洛(Esther Duflo)创立的贾米尔贫困行动实验室(Jameel Poverty ActionLab, 下文简称J-PAL )拥有近百位隶属教授,近五百个科研项目。

      五百个项目的全部内容: “随机对照试验”(randomized control trials,下文简称RCT)。

      要测试一个政策到底有没有效,就把参与者随机分为两组,一组进行政策干预,一组做对照,两组之间的差异就是政策产生的效果。

      为什么RCT如此红火?

      1. 它简单易懂。相比较其他复杂的微观方法,RCT显然更能让经济学的门外汉们明白。
      2. 在许多国家,由于资金的缺乏,福利政策往往不能落实到所有穷人,这反而促成了RCT。既然钱不够发,注定有些穷人可以拿到救济,而有些穷人拿不到,那为什么不把发放的过程随机一下,顺便测试一下政策的效果呢?
      3. 数据说话,评估结果不太容易推翻。直接效应是,这样的评估能够比较公正地说明一个政策的效用,不会轻易被政治左右。
      4. 诸如世界银行、USAID这样庞大的援助机构建立多年,耗费巨大资金,而世界贫困的现状并未显著改善。境外援助有用吗啊?什么样的援助项目最有用?为了回答这样的问题,RCT成了好用的工具。

      中国目前最大的致力于RCT的机构是斯坦福大学旗下的“农村教育行动计划”(Rural Education Action Project,简称REAP)。

    1. The eyes of the Fair are on the future—not in the sense of peering toward the unknown nor attempting to foretell the events of tomorrow and the shape of things to come, but in the sense of presenting a new and clearer view of today in preparation for tomorrow

      The importance of looking ahead but not trying to predict the future
