    1. Improved Calibration: Probability machines often provide better-calibrated predictions by capturing complex data relationships. Flexible Modelling: Unlike parametric methods like logistic regression, probability machines don’t rely on assumptions of additivity or linearity, allowing them to model intricate relationships that parametric models miss. Efficient Feature Selection: These machines automatically select features, making them ideal for high-dimensional datasets where manual selection is impractical. Handling Missing Data: Probability machines handle missing data robustly, minimizing the need for extensive data reprocessing and imputation. Simplified Data Exploration: By exploring complex data structures in a data-driven way, probability machines simplify model specification. For instance, tree-based models remain unaffected by adding squared or interaction terms, streamlining the modeling process.

    1. Structure-aware protein sequence alignment using contrastive learning

      I found this study very interesting and creative! Fine-tuning the embedding space to account for structural similarity via contrastive learning seems like a wonderful idea and the results are very impressive. Here are some of my thoughts about your paper, presented in no particular order. Please feel free to take or leave any of my suggestions.

      One advantage of CLAlign compared to structural aligners is that you don't need to calculate structures. However, the hardware requirements for CLAlign are probably non-trivial, since pLM embeddings have to be calculated. Hardware requirements are missing from the manuscript so it's hard to know. Relatedly, there is no information provided about the speed of CLAlign. I think the manuscript should be expanded to include detailed runtime statistics and hardware requirements so that CLAlign can be better benchmarked against the other tools.

      While Table 1 gives us an overall picture of the alignment quality, it would be nice to know the tool's strengths and weaknesses. How does it perform when sequences are distant homologs? Or when there are large length mismatches? Since embedding-based alignments are state-of-the-art, this kind of information would be broadly useful for readers.

      Figure 1 looks more like a draft than a complete figure. And without a caption it doesn't make sense.

      The performance is very impressive, and it has me curious how much further the performance could be improved simply by increasing the epochs or training dataset. Visualizing the loss curve could help contextualize the performance and help readers understand the extent to which there is room for improvement.

      Small notes:

      • Throughout the manuscript, consistent reference to pLMs is made without any specificity. But there are many different architectures, e.g. BERT, T5, autoregressive, etc. I found this confusing.

      • There are many grammatical mistakes. Consider passing the manuscript through a grammar checker.

      Final thoughts:

      Great work! I am curious to try CLAlign once it is made available.

    1. La investigación reproducible es crucial para el análisis de datos, especialmente cuando se utilizan microdatos de plataformas como Twitter, donde los datos pueden estar sujetos a cambios rápidos. Según Card, Min y Serghiou en su libro “Open, Rigorous and Reproducible Research: A Practitioner’s Handbook”, el acceso limitado a los datos y a los códigos fuente es un gran desafío para la reproducibilidad, que es crucial para validar los hallazgos y promover la transparencia científica (Card et al., 2021). Una planificación cuidadosa y una documentación exhaustiva de los procedimientos de recopilación y análisis de datos son fundamentales para garantizar que otros investigadores puedan replicar los estudios o utilizar métodos comparables en diferentes contextos (Card et al., 2021). En este sentido, el libro de Kitzes, Turek y Deniz “The Practice of Reproducible Research” proporciona ejemplos prácticos de cómo implementar prácticas reproducibles mediante el uso de herramientas y plataformas que facilitan el intercambio de datos y códigos fuente. En esta tesis, que se centra en el análisis de microdatos de los perfiles de Twitter de candidatos políticos, es fundamental aplicar un enfoque replicable. Esto incluye el uso de metodologías abiertas, la publicación de conjuntos de datos anonimizados y el uso de buenas prácticas de análisis de datos, como la planificación de análisis de la visualización cuidadosa de los datos. La adopción de estas prácticas no solo mejora la calidad y la fiabilidad de la investigación, sino que también contribuye al avance del conocimiento en el campo del análisis de datos en redes sociales.

    6. En primer lugar, la recolección y análisis de datos es crucial. Un entorno reproducible permite que todos los pasos realizados durante la investigación sean claros y verificables, garantizando que otros investigadores puedan revisar y validar los resultados obtenidos. En segundo lugar, la replicabilidad es un aspecto esencial en la investigación. Este entorno reproducible asegura que los métodos y resultados puedan ser replicados por otros investigadores, lo que no solo valida nuestras conclusiones, sino que también facilita estudios comparativos.

      El entorno reproducible permitió efectivamente continuar el trabajo en distintos computadores, con diferentes sistemas operativos y sin permisos especiales sobre las máquinas, incluyendo computadores domésticos, del tutor, del estudiante y del LabCI. En sentido dicho entorno permitió configurar una "nube personal académica" de baja complejidad tecnológica, que permitía mayor autónomia en la escritura y colaboración fluida, más allá de lo que permiten otras formas de escritura en línea más convencionales.

      Is this a vector with only a value at position j? So a vector of size N with only position j having a value set, hence being different than x_{j}(t)?

    1. In the future

      A simple camera could be positioned (perhaps attached to the head of the guitar) so as to view the hands moving over the fretboard. Perhaps visual methods which use commercial cameras to infer blood pressure could be used to estimate stress being applied by fingers [reference, reference]. Perhaps this would involve looking at changes in skin colour corresponding to blood flow restrictions resulting from stresses being applied. The apparatus described in this paper could be used to validate such an approach. Potentially the installation of a camera could potentially result in an apparatus more easily deployed at scale, and perhaps usable on many different instruments (without special fretboard modifications and such). Potentially it could also enable more dimensions of resolution, extending the one-dimensional limits of the described apparatus.

      The term is Eulerian Video Magnification:

      Perhaps contemporary machine learning visual analysis could be applied also, and it would be potentially straightforward to record video data for training.

      A more straightforward extension to the current study could be to apply visual analysis such that merely finger placements and gestures were identified to supplement the stress measurements. Indeed, visual analysis or motion capture approaches could be applied to video of the whole posture of the player for assessment of relationships between stress measurements across the fretboard and posture (such as sitting and standing), which can be significant.

      Another complimentary measurement is audio. Stress/force sensor data could be supplemented with audio data analysis such as is employed by the likes of Yousician. A mentioned limitation of the apparatus is the measurement of vibrato effects/techniques. Could audio analysis supplement the existing apparatus's measuring capabilities to include such effects/techniques? Audio analysis can infer keys being typed on a keyboard, could it not also be used to infer frets being played, and with different forces applied?

      Another form of sensor which may not have been considered is the Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). Could this be feasible, perhaps in a specially-constructed fretboard? Would it add a greater resolution? Would it add a greater dimensionality to the stress measurements?

    2. Typical sensing elements used in force sensing arrays in-clude piezoresistive sensors [5], capacitive sensors [6], andresistive composites like Velostat [7]. Both piezoresistivesensors and Velostat are known for their inherent drift andhysteresis. Capacitive sensors require complicated circuitryand customization processes [8], [9]. Instead, we adoptedoptical proximity sensors as the sensing elements, inspired by[10].

      The characteristics of silicon strain gauges in terms of drift and hysteresis effects are well-understood and can be accounted for. Velostat foil can be used, but is perhaps more suited to cheaper, simpler applications like switches. The resistive sensors are dependent on temperature, but so are the light sensors used in the apparatus described.

      Capacitive sensors are well-understood and potentially very cheap to make, e.g. they can be made from printed inks, beyond the more usual contemporary approach of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). However, could the electrical fields of the strings be an issue? Although perhaps this could be understood using the Projected Capacitance Touch (PCT) approach with mutual capacitive sensors (for multi-touch sensors).

      I watched this TED talk a while ago, and I thought that it connected well to this concept. It talks about how language shapes the way an individual thinks, and how different languages cause those who speak it to think differently. An example I find interesting is that a certain aboriginal group uses cardinal directions instead of right or left, and this causes them to think completely differently about distance and time than English speakers.

    1. THEN THE VICTORIOUS PANDAVAS VUDHISHTHIRA BECAME THE EMPEROR. ANDBLEW THEIR CONCHES. BHEEMPt'SOATHS HAD BEEN CARRIED OUT.KRISHNA'S PROMISE TODRAUPADI WAS FULFILLED

      The final scene showing Draupadi as the rightful queen shows that good has beat evil in which justice has been restored. Even after many long years, the story shows that justice will always be reached and that cruel acts will face consequences. Draupadi's adversity is highlighted her as it is a personal victory for her and shows how her resilience and strength was able to prevail. The difference between "us" and "them" can be seen through the Pandavas and Kauravas. In which the Pandavas are seen as the good forces while the Kauravas are the embodiment of evil creating a good framework for the narrative as a result. This is undoubtedly the highest point in the narrative as the Pandavas are able to live out their former glory and are once again all-powerful and live in their kingdom. Not only does the ending of the story give closure, but readers gain a better understanding of morality and how human conflict is such a big factor in all of this. Because of the rivalry between the Pandavas and Kauravas, it led to lots of pain and suffering for the Pandavas until they finally waged war and were victorious. It serves as a lesson for readers to not be afraid of facing conflict as it might be the only and best way of handling it altogether. Draupadi as a person shows why resilience and strength are important qualities to have as they can help put conflicts to an end and not accept defeat. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    2. THIS FOR DRA66IN6DRAUPADI BY THE HAIRAND ATTEMPTING TODISROBE HER

      This is turning point in the story because her husband is finally taking some action to enact revenge on the Kauravas for their cruel acts over the years. The image of her husband holding the weapon with so much anger can be felt by the reader and shows how much of the anger he has held over the years and is finally able to take it on the same guy who disrespected and humiliated her wife many years ago. Bhima's vow to break Duryodhana's thigh as a response to the disrobing of Draupadi is admirable and shows his determination and motivation behind the war that the Pandavas agreed to do. Not only does it show his honor, but serves as a huge sign of his loyalty to Draupadi and commitment to protecting her which propels the narrative forward. The collective effort of the Pandavas marks the unity of the group and how an attack on one individual is an attack on all of them and this is highlighted in the manner in which they fight the Kauravas with so much anger and anguish.

    3. OF WHATUSE IS THE ] |PROWESS OF ^MY HUSBANDSWHEN THEYCANNOT-PROTECTME FROM SUCH 1IN SU LTS

      A key moment happens here where Draupadi once again questions the purpose of her husbands if they offer her no sense of security. In a day and age where people are much safer, women still expect security from men through money and even protection which shows that it is innate. Even with this being the case, her husbands have not shown the same loyalty to her showing that in their time period, husbands can do the bare minimum and can still expect the most amount of love and loyalty from their wife representing an unfair balance. Keechaka's attempts to force Draupadi into being his wife represents a systematic oppression towards women as there is no sense of decency and manners. By refusing to let Keechaka get what he wants, it shows the strength that she has and how she will not let men take away her dignity and respect. This moment not only shows how men in a patriarchal society failed to be protectors, but also highlights the strong spirit of Draupadi which makes her an admirable character.

    4. PL E A 5E G O WITH YOUR1 0 , 0 0 0 D ISCIPLES A N DSEEK THE HOSPITALITYOF YUDHISHTHIRA,WHEN DRAUPADIHAS FIN ISH EDEATING H ERM EA L

      Driven by envy and hate towards the Pandavas, Duryodhana devises a plan to make them suffer by utilizing the short temper of Durvasa who is also known for his curses. Because the Pandavas have a reputation for being hospitable, the plan was to ruin their reputation and have a curse placed on them as a result which results in more suffering and pain inflicted upon them. Even though the Pandavas had their backs against the wall, Krishna came to their aid and made Durvasa and his people feel full so that they would no longer need food from them. This marks another divine intervention in the story coming to the rescue of the Pandavas. The concept of dharma is on full display as the Pandavas' reputation for being hospitable and righteous still remain. Not only does their reputation remain intact, Krishna's loyalty to the Pandavas can be highlighted and shows that he protected the right people and that divine figures will intervene in human affairs to uphold righteousness in certain scenarios.

    5. D EAR D R A U P A D I, BEC O N S O L E D . Y O U RH U M IL IA T IO N SWILL B E AVENF O U R T E E NY E A R S FR O MN O W .

      Filled with anger and anguish, the Pandavas are forced to live away from the comforts that they are used to and must face the harsh realities of existence. Krishna's presence after they have been exiled and gives a sense of assurance for them and makes them feel secure as they are in new territory that they are not accustomed to. He is a symbol of hope for their people. In a way, the exile helps bring the Pandavas closer as they have a common enemy that they all hate and want to avenge creating an even strong unity among them. While the exile does not compare to the moment when Draupadi was gambled away, this marks another low point in the story as the moral is still low for the Pandavas and they know it will be many years before they can inflict any type of pain or suffering onto the Kauravas.

    6. T H E V E R Y C L O T H E SS H E IS W E A R IN GB E L O N G T O U S ! AS H E IS O U RS L A V E .KRISHNA,SAVE ME!

      This moment marks a pivotal moment in the story where the narrative is set to change significantly from this point and the fate of the characters are bound to change. For one thing, the husband using his wife as a wager shows how women were viewed at the time. The status of women at the time was merely property and eye candy to some extent. Because of her husband's actions, Draupadi is humiliated in front of a large group of people and has a lot of anger and resent towards the Pandavas for letting this moment occur. The gambling done by Yudhishtra puts his dharma into question especially as a king because he did not consider how his actions would affect his wife and showed his lack of compassion. Not to mention, this scene highlights the cruelty of the Kauravas to inflict the most amount of humiliation upon Draupadi and the Pandavas. There must be a lot of anger within them that will eventually lead to a war for revenge. Even though Draupadi as an individual being is receiving the worst amount of embarassment, the Pandavas see it as an attack on them as well showing the bond between their group and how they always stand up for one another. The vivid imagery through the art and diction creates empathy for Draupadi as she is helpless and her cries for help cannot do anything. This is the lowest point in the narrative and reader can tell without even reading the rest of the text because of the emotional intensity of the moment. Moreover, the moral implication of this incident will be massive and is very disturbing for the audience. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    7. ALAS ! TH E PANPAVAS HAVEE S C A P E D . A N D THEY HAVE THEMIGHTY P R U P A P A A N P H IS^ S O N A S A L L IE S

      An interesting point has been reached in the story where they learn that Draupadi cannot marry them and belongs to the Pandava brothers. Arjuna's victory in using the bow and arrow symbolizes the difficulty in a challenge in which completion rewarded him with Draupadi as a wife. The garland symbolizes this victory and her acceptance of Arjuna as a husband. In their culture, garlands symbolize winners in a contest to show triumph and honor which is why Draupadi offered a garland to Arjuna after he won. It also shows the exceptional skill and courage and becomes a medal of honor while Arjuna is wearing it. In addition, Draupadi's willingness to be in a relationship with Arjuna is shown here and carries a sense of commitment and dedication. Arjuna's victory does not only help him win over Draupadi, but is also elevates his status within the Pandavas showing that they are a unified unit in which people can raise the ranks through accomplishments and skill. Individual goals in the Pandava group are aligned with their group's goal so it is a win-win situation for everyone. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    8. LORD! I...I...IT WASONLY ONE HUSBANDTHAT I WANTED.

      The phrase "be careful for what you wish for" perfectly applies in this situation and becomes the first challenge and humiliation that she faces in this story. Because Shiva intervened as a higher power in her affairs, it continues to show that their society believed gods ultimately affected the daily lives of mere mortals and the best thing that they can do is to remain good people that remained faithful. Despite being innocent and pure, Draupadi's wishes were misinterpreted and shows why wishing for something is not always the best thing. It is all too common in shows, movies, and books to see a character wish for something but not receive what they want because of the wording behind that wish. This situation relates to Draupadi and will now affect the way everyone will view her and will be humiliating. Not to mention, the standards and views relating to love and marriage will be challenged when Draupadi has five husbands because the common belief is that people commit to only one person. Even though this is the case, the concept of arranged marriage comes into play as Draupadi must respect the decision made by Shiva putting into perspective why arranged marriages are still acceptable in India as parents and divine beings alike know what is best for their children. The idea of marrying five men challenges the western notion of monogamy and shows what practices were acceptable during that time period. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    9. COME, LET METELL YOU O F ANEARLIER BIRTHO F PR A U PA PIWHEN S H E WASTH E PAUGHTERO F A RISHI.i t u

      Draupadi's birth is nothing short of a miracle suggesting that a higher power had some influence on this event. It also alludes to the fact that their society believes that their gods effect their daily lives and can affect whether certain events happen or not at a moment's notice. The audience up to this point learns about the rivalry between the Kauravas and Pandavas which is foreshadowing. In addition, the Pandavas being disguised as Brahmins show the spot they are in and how they have been exiled up to this point. They are seeking a powerful son for that reason to help them be in a better situation. This highlights how important leadership is in society and can be the difference between whether a society lives in harmony or constant suffering. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    10. But fo r this, hertale w ou ld have been as passive as that of any otherw om an of that era

      Draupadi is immediately introduced as a character of importance especially in Hinduism and shows that she carried a unique position as a woman during her time. Despite having some privileges that made life easier for her, the contrast to the challenges she faced being in a patriarchal society balances it out and highlights how Draupadi was resilient during those times. The passage as a whole allows the reader to understand that she carries many characteristics such as wisdom and strength that women of her time are not accustomed to which will make this story more compelling as a result. Compared to other women of her time, she was embarrassed much more and was put in an interesting situation being married to multiple men but still remained strong for her people and was determined. Draupadi as a character also breaks a lot of social norms of India at the time and proves that women are much more capable than what their society believes. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    1. The king has laid himself down and will not rise again,The Lord of Kullab will not rise again;He overcame evil, he will not come again;Though he was strong of arm he will not rise again;He had wisdom and a comely face, he will not come again;He is gone into the mountain, he will not come again;On the bed of fate he lies, he will not rise again,Front the couch of many colours he will not come again

      This passage in particular highlights the finality of death and how Gilgamesh ultimately faces the same ending as other ordinary people. Despite the wisdom and courage that he had, it was not enough to overcome the fragility of human life. The imagery behind Gilgamesh "[going] into the mountain" suggests that he might be going to the underworld and shows that there is an afterlife after death. Another theme that a reader would think about is the meaning of life as Gilgamesh was unable to complete his main goal despite his accolades and characteristics. It does raise questions about the purpose of human existence and how people should view life and death. With this being the case, the ending and epic in general does a good job highlighting the fact that our time and existence is very limited which is why it is important to cherish every moment and make the most of it. Moreover, the ending of the epic does a good relaying the main message of the epic which is that human connection and contributions to society can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment which makes life worth living despite everyone knowing that their time will eventually come to an end.

    2. For myself I have gained nothing; not I, but the beast of the earth hasjoy of it now. Already the stream has carried it twenty leagues back to the channels where Ifound it.

      This quote really highlights how Gilgamesh's effort and quest in general for immortality ended up being a failure as he was not able to achieve this goal. It shows how people can put their best effort into accomplishing a goal and still not be able to achieve it which is seen through Gilgamesh. Many people that have succeeded talk about how hard work is not enough to actually reach success. There is some luck involved in being successful especially with ambitious goals and we can see that luck was missing in the case for Gilgamesh which led him to falling short of his goal. He is now at a position where he must reconsider his goals and priorities since the goal was the main focus in his life for a long stretch of time so it will be interesting to see how that perspective shapes as the story goes on. Not only must he reconsider his priorities, but he must evaluate his life since immortality is no longer a guarantee for him so that anxiousness exists once again and he must learn to accept that his time alive will be limited. The epic seems to suggest that our time being alive is better to be limited since the quality of life is more important the quantity or else life itself would no longer be enjoyable.

    3. A stupor of despairwent up to heaven when the god of the storm turned daylight to darkness, when he smashedthe land like a cup

      The catastrophic flood symbolizes a punishment for the people as they have committed a lot of sins and this is their way of making it up to the gods. With the phrase "smashed the land like a cup", it truly encapsulates the destructive nature of the flood and how the humans were so helplessness in that moment. We also learn that the gods are in fear of the flood because of how powerful it is highlighting the vulnerability that exists between both humans and divine beings. Water is always known to have significant meanings in many cultures which means that the flood is supposed to be a punishment for humans for their wrongdoings. There is a story in the Bible where God punished humans as he sees a lot of corruption and does this through a flood. It is interesting to see that parallel between both texts and shows that floods are universally seen as punishments for humans. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    4. Urshanabi said to him, 'Gilgamesh, your own hands have prevented you from crossing theOcean; when you destroyed the tackle of the boat you destroyed its safety

      Gilgamesh's impulse and actions have made it much more challenging for him to be able to reach immortality. It shows how there are limitations in humans that leads to mistakes which is seen through Gilgamesh. He has been creating his own challenges up to this point and becomes even more apparent in this moment. This is also another important or even turning point in this epic as Gilgamesh is forces to realize that he depends a lot on others and this has been one of the biggest reasons for the consequences he has been facing. While this may be the case, it also highlights his resilience and persistence in achieving immortality as he remains strong willed despite the challenges he faced so far. This is similar to how bad habits tend to ruin some of the goals people have because it distracts them and makes them lose focus on what they want to achieve. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    5. I have wept for him day and night, I would not give up his body for burial, Ithought my friend would come back because of my weeping. Since he went, my life is nothing

      Gilgamesh's journey to the underworld highlights a common experience people face when loved ones die and shows a common archetype that can be seen in a lot of heroes between movies and books. He will set out to become a better person that lives up to his potential after a loved one dies which is seen throughout many movies, shows, books, epics, and other pieces of writing. As a result, he seeks to become immortal since he has a new fear of death. He has come to the realization that his life can perish at anytime and wants to have a lasting legacy and he believes this can be done through immortality. In addition, this desire allows him to not be forgotten and allows him to not worry about his legacy being forgotten. It is interesting that he feels this way as a lot of people usually face the idea of disbelief when someone dies and have a hard time coming to accept that. On the other hand, Gilgamesh has a hard time accepting death itself which is now causing him a lot of pain and suffering. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    6. I weep for my brother.O Enkidu, my brother

      Gilgamesh's words for Enkidu shows his love for Enkidu and the deep bond between the two of them and how he was devastated by his loss. The repetition of "weep" highlights how deeply Gilgamesh is mourning for him and creates a haunting yet melancholic tone at the same time to enhance the meaning behind his message. Vivid imagery plays a role in enhancing the emotions that are felt and showing the impact of Enkidu's death. His death also seems to suggest that there is a interconnectedness between humans, animals, and the environment as it is common between all three groups and something that haunts all of us. Something interesting to think about is how people show a lot of appreciation for another person after they have died. It is similar to the phrase that people will not be fully appreciated until they have died. While Gilgamesh appreciated having Enkidu as a companion and said nice things to him, it was not on this level and shows an inherent human flaw which is the inability to fully appreciate and recognize someone's efforts and qualities until they are gone. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    7. Ah, if only some future king had brought you here,or some god had fashioned you. Let him obliterate my name and write his own, and the cursefall on him instead of on Enkidu

      Enkidu's death carries a lot of significance and shows the consequences of the decisions that both Gilgamesh and Enkidu made. For one thing, the death shows how fragile human life is and how it can easily be taken away at a moment's notice. The grief and sadness that Gilgamesh holds as a result of the death shows the effect that death can have on humans and relationships alike. We lost a part of ourselves when close ones die and the emotional toll is highlighted through Gilgamesh. It is similar to how people wonder why they are okay with putting so much time, resources, and love for pets when you know that they will die before you and that will cause a lot of pain and emotional suffering. The text itself seems to teach us that it more about the quality spent rather than the amount of time spent between loved ones. Not to mention, the power of words can be highlighted in this section as Enkidu's curses show the destruction that words hold and the reasons behind the current consequences up to this point.

    8. And if you and I should be lovers, should not I be served inthe same fashion as all these others whom you loved once?

      The relationship between Gilgamesh and Ishtar is very compelling and challenges many ideas that we have seen before in other pieces. Gilgamesh was the one to reject Ishtar after she proposed her love for him especially being a powerful goddess which may have come as a big surprise and slap in the face for her. It challenges the gender norm that men are usually the ones to propose their love and the women are able to reject the man if they choose to. This is a very interesting take on that idea and shows that men should also be respected if they choose to reject a woman and that women can also step up and propose their love if that is how they feel. Not to mention, the idea of love is viewed differently between both people as Gilgamesh seeks more of an equal and Ishtar views it as possession over the other person. This is why the recounting of the previous lovers she has can tell a lot about Ishtar and why she is not a suitable partner for Gilgamesh. In a day and age where people are constantly looking for something better especially with dating apps, the epic reminds the audience to reject someone because of who they are as a person and if the qualities suggest that they might be a bad partner.

    9. Gilgamesh listened to the word of his companion, he took the axe in his hand, he drew thesword from his belt, and he struck Humbaba with a thrust of the sword to the neck, and Enkiduhis comrade struck the second blow. At the third blow Humbaba fell. Then there followedconfusion for this was the guardian of the forest whom they had felled to the ground.

      At this point in the story, Enkidu and Gilgamesh come across their first challenge together and it was facing off against Humbaba. Their teamwork and trust in each other is fully evident and shows how much they rely on one another leading to their eventual victory. An interesting symbol is the cedar in this moment. The falling of the cedars can be seen as a symbolic victory over nature and Humbaba who is protecting the forest. This can be seen that way because they gain resources but also disturb the natural order that existed before them. Enil's anger is another interesting point to mention because it shows that the victory should not have happened and that possibly the gods had other plans in mind. People talk about the idea of destiny and whether their lives have already been planned out or if people have full control over their destiny. The take here appears to argue that humans can control their destiny but the gods typically have a plan in place that is usually followed in most circumstances. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    10. Do not trust too much in your own strength, be watchful, restrain your blows at first. The onewho goes in front protects his companion; the good guide who knows the way guards his.friend. Let Enkidu lead the way, he knows the road to the forest, he has seen Humbaba andis experienced in battles; let him press first into the passes, let him be watchful and look tohimself.

      Gilgamesh and Enkidu learn more about the Cedar Forest and the use of imagery helps the reader understand that is a sacred place and has lots of reverence. We can see some of the fear in the fact that they are in an unknown place and learning as they go along their journey. The mix of courage and fear from both characters show the bond that the two of them has created. Gilgamesh, the person who was complained about frequently has become better and has respect for Enkidu as he trusts him and relies on him throughout this journye and also listens to what he has to say when navigating through the forest. This shows why it is important for people to have friends or mentors that they respect because those are the people who can sway their opinion or change them for the better. Respect is crucial in any relationship and it can be seen here between Enkidu and Gilgamesh. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

    11. Indeed I know it is so, forwhoever is tallest among men cannot reach the heavens, and the greatest cannot encompassthe earth. Therefore I would enter that country; because I have not established my namestamped on brick as my destiny decreed, I will go to the country where the cedar is cut

      Gilgamesh is undergoing an interesting point in the story where he is starting to figure out whether he wants to have a legacy that will be remembered or just die altogether. It shows the theme of human mortality because people at some point eventually think about whether their life had a positive impact on others leading them to feel panicked. While Gilgamesh is contemplating and thinking about this, Enkidu serves as a good friend by his side offering support and advice for him. He serves as a good example as to why it is important to have the right people close to us as they can make challenging times feel a lot better and provide crucial support when it is needed the most.

    12. And now she said to Enkidu, 'When I look at you, you have become like a god. Why do youyearn to run wild again with the beasts in the hills? Get up from the ground, the bed of ashepherd.' He listened to her words with care.

      Before Enkidu can face Gilgamesh and present himself as an equal, the reader can see how Enkidu must transform and changes himself in order to meet certain criteria in order to accomplish this goal. The harlot is responsible for changing Enkidu from being a wild being to someone who can be civilized and proper in their society. In a similar way, children grow up learning societal expectations and what is normal so that they can easily adapt and be accepted by others. It shows the importance of having a teacher or someone like our parents to guide us so that young children can be good members of society and we can see this through Enkidu.

    13. No son is left with hisfather, for Gilgamesh takes them all, even the children; yet the king should be a shepherd tohis people. His lust leaves no virgin to her lover, neither the warrior's daughter nor the wifeof the noble

      The reader immediately figures out that Gilgamesh is an oppressive leader and tends to abuse his power. There are many rumors and people often talk about his poor leadership and how he takes advantage of others. As a result, people call for the gods to create a change in hopes of changing his behavior. Enkidu is created as a result to be an equal to Gilgamesh and keep his power in check. It reminds me of why checks and balances exist within the US government. If each of the three branches of government were not able to keep each other in check, then the President might be able to get away with some things that may result in bad consequences as a result. In a similar fashion, Gilgamesh does not have any checks and balances in which someone keeps him in check resulting in the people suffering as a result and why Enkidu is also created as a result.

    14. When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body.

      The tone of this prologue suggests that Gilgamesh is a very powerful and important figure and places him at a high stature. Using a word like "perfect" to describe Gilgamesh further asserts the fact that Gilgamesh is highly respected and the rest of the story will highlight these strong qualities and present him favorably. It shows the divine nature of the hero of this epic and serves as a testament to Gilgamesh as a figure. In addition, the reader learns a lot about the storyteller and understands the weight that their tone carries. CC BY Ajey Sasimugunthan (contact)

It can also allude to a sense of competition as Malvolio will later find himself competing for Olivia's attention.

    1. My fiance got a white Adler Tippa recently, but is unsure of the exact model or year. We looked up the serial number but nothing has come up even on the database. The Tippa plate just says Tippa, not Adler Tippa, so it can't be too old. Any ideas? Serial number: 10148440

      reply to u/DinoPup87 at https://new.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1efzeor/adler_tippa_id/

      It's a common misconception that the database lists all serial numbers.

      You'll need to identify the make (and preferably the model) to search the database. Then you'll want to look at the serial numbers which your serial number appears between to be able to identify the year (or month if the data is granular enough) your machine was made. Reading the notes at the header of each page will give you details for how best to read and interpret the charts for each manufacturer. Notes and footnotes will provide you with additional details when available.

      You can then compare your machine against others which individuals have photographed and uploaded to the database. Feel free to add your typewriter as an example by making an account of your own. Doing this is sure to help researches and other enthusiasts in the future. Don't forget photos of your manual, tools which came with your machine, your case, and original dated purchase receipts if you have them.

      This resource is interesting, long (69 slides), and technical. I have used h5p in my large-lecture human communication class, but I have access to the JMU Libraries' license, so I don't have to pay for it. Faculty who don't have access to that license may not want to pay for their own license.

    1. needs a new ink ribbon

      Chances are that you've got your original metal spools, and if so, definitely keep them. You can make a quick measurement, but I'm guessing you're going to want 1/2" or 13mm wide universal ribbon.

      You can buy this in many places and in various color combinations (if you have a bichrome machine—look for a black/white/red switch which can usually be found on the front of your machine) for just a few dollars for 16 yards or about 14 meters to fill up a 2 inch diameter spool. Often it will come on cheap universal plastic spools which you can use to wind onto your own original metal spools if necessary.

      Some machines often make use of proprietary mechanisms or geometry on their spools to effectuate the auto-reverse mechanism of the machine (though you'd have to check on your particular unit). Many machines after the 40s used small grommets on the ribbon itself to trigger the auto-reverse mechanism. If yours doesn't, you can trim these off with scissors as you spool the ribbon onto your machine if you're worried they'll get in the way.

      Some smaller ultra-portables can and often do use smaller diameter spools which only fit 12 yards of ribbon, but you can always cut your ribbon down from bigger spools if necessary.

      A few good sources of ribbon can be found at https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-faq.html#q1.

      If you don't have the original spools and the cheap plastic universal ones don't work on yours, you can find replacements via https://www.ribbonsunlimited.com/ or by calling around to repair shops which may have extras https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html


      Incidentally, having your typewriter make and model as well as serial number can be helpful. You can often identify the model via https://typewriterdatabase.com/ if it's not on your typewriter directly. I'm guessing from the 2Y5852 that you've got a Good Companion No. 2 circa 1942, but you can track that down by looking at the database and individual galleries with photos.

      If you don't have one already, you might find a manual for your machine (or one very similar to it) at https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html

    1. ChatGPT can “hallucinate” fake sources

    1. IQ stands for intelligence quotient and describes a score earned on a test designed to measure intelligence

      https://imgflip.com/meme/533936279/Bell-Curve Iq often times is used to say whether or not someone is intelligent and how they view something, which does not always work since people with high or low iq can still be diverse in how they view things, besides iq does not always mean that someone is “smart” or “dumb”

    1. Lesson plans emphasize hands-on activities that develop discussions around information literacy concepts (such as “Information Creation as a Process” and “Authority is Constructed and Contextual”), not skills (such as database demonstrations); Instruction programs coordinate instruction with departments (for example, all sections of the same course, especially required courses with research), not individual faculty; Develop and use shared lesson plans to ensure consistency, rather than individualizing lesson plans for different faculty who teach the same class; Collect the same assessment data to gather a meaningful number of student work samples, rather than creating different assessments for each section; Instruction librarians work together as a team to assess all student work samples, using a shared rubric; Reinforce the value of learning your own institutional context rather than attempting to prove that the one-shot “moved the needle” of student learning

      Key take-aways: scalability of instruction maintained by outlining a curriculum that can be used department-wide, democratic assessment processes, and anti-deficit-thinking. Inspiring article, but intentionally left open-ended so libraries do their own work on this.
