Once someone supplies the pure public good, there is no further possibility of exchange where the provider is necessarily compensated because benefits are freely available.

Now such like words or deeds wherein nothing further is sought than the soul's delight, are called playful or humorous. Hence it is necessary at times to make use of them, in order to give rest, as it were, to the soul.

I answer that, Just as man needs bodily rest for the body's refreshment, because he cannot always be at work, since his power is finite and equal to a certain fixed amount of labor, so too is it with his soul, whose power is also finite and equal to a fixed amount of work. Consequently when he goes beyond his measure in a certain work, he is oppressed and becomes weary, and all the more since when the soul works, the body is at work likewise, in so far as the intellective soul employs forces that operate through bodily organs.

The horses too, in their own way, psych themselves up for the contest: "their limbs tremble; impatient of delay, they cannot stand still". When the starting signal is given, they leap forward and race off with as much speed and determination as they can muster. The riders, eager for glory and hoping for victory, try to outdo one another in using spurs, switches or cries of encouragement to urge the horses to go faster.

Every morning you can find those carrying on their various trades, those selling specific types of goods, and those who hire themselves out as labourers, each in their particular locations engaged in their tasks.

_Follow your leader_

Captain Delano, now with scales dropped from his eyes, saw the negroes, not in misrule, not in tumult, not as if frantically concerned for Don Benito, but with mask torn away, flourishing hatchets and knives, in ferocious piratical revolt.

Don Benito would not let go the hand of Captain Delano, but retained it in his, across the black’s body.

Spaniard again fervently took the hand of the American

I cannot go,” was the response.

Marking the servant still above

Captain Delano heard a voice faithfully repeating his orders. Turning, he saw Babo, now for the time acting, under the pilot, his original part of captain of the slaves.

But it was soon evident that, in taking his position, the black was still true to his master; since by facing him he could the more readily anticipate his slightest want.

At present neither men nor cannon were seen

“Then if master means to talk more to Don Amasa,” said the servant, “why not let Don Amasa sit by master in the cuddy, and master can talk, and Don Amasa can listen, while Babo here lathers and strops.”

“master told me never mind where he was, or how engaged, always to remind him to a minute, when shaving-time comes. Miguel has gone to strike the half-hour afternoon. It is _now_, master. Will master go into the cuddy?”

Instantly the blacks paused, just where they were, each negro and negress suspended in his or her posture, exactly as the word had found them–for a few seconds continuing so–while, as between the responsive posts of a telegraph, an unknown syllable ran from man to man among the perched oakum-pickers.

Don Benito, with the true jealousy of weakness, resented as an affront any interference.

But, regarding this warning as coming from one whose spirit had been crushed by misery the American did not give up his design.

Don Benito would not let go the hand of Captain Delano, but retained it in his, across the black’s body.

He descended to the cabin to bid a ceremonious, and, it may be, tacitly rebukeful adieu

“I cannot go,” was the response.

The Bachelor’s Delight

Don Benito recoiled, as if at some bland satirical touch, delivered with such adroit garnish of apparent good breeding as to present no handle for retort. He is like one flayed alive, thought Captain Delano; where may one touch him without causing a shrink? The servant moved before his master, adjusting a cushion; recalled to civility, the Spaniard stiffly replied: “you are right. The slave appears where you saw him, according to my command; which is, that if at the given hour I am below, he must take his stand and abide my coming.”

While media is plural for medium, in today’s contemporary Western world it is often used to refer to mass media, as in ‘the media’. However, it is also used to refer to communication devices, as in technological media.

Looking at the history of media, one perceives almost the evolution of an organism becoming more and more complex, diverse, and ubiquitous.

The medium is the message’

Media ecology is a macro approach that describes media environments. This means that the approach often investigates the broader effects that media has on cultures and societies.

the average adult (over eighteen years of age) in the U.S. spends around 10 1/2 hours each day involved with some kind of media6 (Nielsen, 2019: 3). We live in this mediatized environment and now, more than ever, it is important to have a comprehensive media literacy program that helps us better understand the effects of our media-rich environment.

For many of the people in the Western world, everyday life is completely entangled with media technologies, so much so that these technologies are no longer in the forefront of our attention; they have faded into the background.

often they are looking down at some technology rather than looking around and engaging with their immediate environment.

So, while it is important to analyze the content of media as critical media literacy does, it is also fruitful to analyze the medium itself.

While this is important, I believe that if the borders of media literacy can be expanded to include the influence of the actual technological medium as well as the broader context within which the media are used, then a space is created for media literacy to be even more inclusive and effective.

In addition, we are always located within a specific time and place, both of which relate to media technologies (Innis, 2008).

In this saturated media environment, the media tend to disappear into the background of our awareness.

the digital detox movement

There are valid concerns for a protectionist approach to focus on. Jean Twenge et al. (2018) find, ‘Adolescents who spent more time on screen activities were significantly more likely to have high depressive symptoms or have at least one suicide-related outcome, and those who spent more time on nonscreen activities were less likely’ (9

These technologies are part of the fabric of our existence, the ordinary environment within which we exist

that allow us, for the most part, to communicate whenever and wherever the mood strikes.

It is fairly common for people in the developed Western world to live in a media-saturated environment.

At the convergence of the fourth industrial revolution (Schwab, 2017) and the sixth mass extinction (Cafaro, 2015), we find our selves at a crossroads. Being media literate is but one fundamental aspect of life in a time of complex planetary existence.

Each word is a choice that has both benefits and limitations.

As we focus on the effects of media on the subject, it is important to identify which human subject is being discussed.

the digital detox movement

Some philosophers and media theorists approach media and technology as something that people, especially children, should be protected from.

She outlines how learning to create content helps one better understand and analyze professionally produced content

that allow us, for the most part, to communicate whenever and wherever the mood strikes.

Additionally, a more fully developed media literacy would situate media investigations in such a way as to allow for a deeply practical analysis without losing a holistic, theoretical perspective.

The US declared war on Japan the following day, and Germany and Italy declared war on America on December 11th. ​

It was the Soviet Union that broke Hitler’s army.

Ideologically, the Japanese justified their conquests by claiming they were liberating Asia from European colonialism. Not all the Asian countries they invaded, however, were happy to become part of the Pan-Asian empire Japan wanted to rule over.

the time the U.S. entered they war, Hitler had betrayed Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union.

We want to provide you, the reader, a chance to explore online privacy more. In this activity, you will be looking at an official brochure on the EU’s GDPR privacy law1. We will again follow the five-step CIDER method (Critique, Imagine, Design, Expand, Repeat). So read through the official brochure on the EU’s GDPR privacy law (for this activity ignore any additional details or clarifications made elsewhere in the GDPR, since those weren’t deemed important enough to put on this brochure). Then do the following (preferably on paper or in a blank computer document):

While we have our concerns about the privacy of our information, we often share it with social media platforms under the understanding that they will hold that information securely. But social media companies often fail at keeping our information secure. For example, the proper security practice for storing user passwords is to use a special individual encryption process for each individual password. This way the database can only confirm that a password was the right one, but it can’t independently look up what the password is or even tell if two people used the same password. Therefore if someone had access to the database, the only way to figure out the right password is to use “brute force,” that is, keep guessing passwords until they guess the right one (and each guess takes a lot of time). But while that is the proper security for storing passwords. So for example, Facebook stored millions of Instagram passwords in plain text, meaning the passwords weren’t encrypted and anyone with access to the database could simply read everyone’s passwords. And Adobe encrypted their passwords improperly and then hackers leaked their password database of 153 million users. From a security perspective there are many risks that a company faces, such as: Employees at the company misusing their access, like Facebook employees using their database permissions to stalk women Hackers finding a vulnerability and inserting, modifying, or downloading information. For example: hackers stealing the names, Social Security numbers, and birthdates of 143 million Americans from Equifax hackers posting publicly the phone numbers, names, locations, and some email addresses of 530 million Facebook users, or about 7% of all people on Earth Hacking attempts can be made on individuals, whether because the individual is the goal target, or because the individual works at a company which is the target. Hackers can target individuals with attacks like: Password reuse attacks, where if they find out your password from one site, they try that password on many other sites Hackers tricking a computer into thinking they are another site, for example: the US NSA impersonated Google Social engineering, where they try to gain access to information or locations by tricking people. For example: Phishing attacks, where they make a fake version of a website or app and try to get you to enter your information or password into it. Some people have made malicious QR codes to take you to a phishing site. Many of the actions done by the con-man Frank Abagnale, which were portrayed in the movie Catch Me If You Can One of the things you can do as an individual to better protect yourself against hacking is to enable 2-factor authentication on your accounts.

Outside Support Networks N\ , To help establish an outside support network, start by arranging meetings between teachers par-\ ticularly at the beginning of the year. Reach out using social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter \ or simply send out a mass email to any colleagues who might be interested. You might also organize logistics (such as deciding a meeting time and finding a location), bring snacks, provide reflection ques- / tions and discussion starters, or offer to host a question-and-answer session. / ff Meetings can be strictly professional, strictly personal, or a combination of the two. For professional meetings, publicly post a discussion topic using social media or an electronic mailing list. Teachers who are interested in the topic can voluntarily attend the meeting. Sample topics for professional meetings might include: ¢ Creating a community of learners in your classroom ¢ Pacing a lesson or unit ¢ Communicating with parents ¢ Mastering work-life balance e Understanding the evaluation process e Increasing student engagement * Connecting assessment and grading e Managing student behavior ¢ Fostering technology skills in the classroom ¢ Using homework and enrichment efficiently / ¢ Participating in action research In a personal meeting, simply allow attendees to get to know one another. To break the ice, present some conversation starters on cards at tables or on a projection screen. These could include questions such as the following.

Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race.

The Congress and the people of the United States have accepted that challenge. Together with other free peoples, we are now fighting to maintain our right to live among our world neighbors in freedom, in common decency, without fear of assault. I have prepared the full record of our past relations with Japan, and it will be submitted to the Congress. It begins with the visit of Commodore Parry to Japan eighty-eight years ago. It ends with the visit of two Japanese emissaries to the Secretary of State last Sunday, an hour after Japanese forces had loosed their bombs and machine guns against our flag, our forces and our citizens.

The sudden criminal attacks perpetrated by the Japanese in the Pacific provide the climax of a decade of international immorality. Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race. Their challenge has now been flung at the United States of America. The Japanese have treacherously violated the longstanding peace between us. Many American soldiers and sailors have been killed by enemy action. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.

We are now in this war. We are all in it—all the way. Every single man, woman and child is a partner in the most tremendous undertaking of our American history. We must share together the bad news and the good news, the defeats and the victories—the changing fortunes of war.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Creating Challenge In our experience, mentors devote most of their time to providing support, such as that described in the previous section. However, unless support is balanced with challenge, we rob new teachers of the opportunity to grow and learn. If our goal is to nurture independent, effective practitioners, then it is critical that novices take responsibility for their own practice. Growth requires that beginners develop the capacity to apply and adapt expert information within the context of their own classrooms. This development includes making meaning of new information and experiences. This learning enables new teachers to apply, refine and create alternative strategies based on students’ needs, curricular readiness and teacher values. 3 Skillful mentors balance the supportive aspects of the relationship with challenges that promote continual attention to improvement in practice. In a learning-focused relationship, challenge is created by: * Structuring rigorous examination and analysis of practice by applying Planning and Reflecting Templates (see Section Three, Maximizing Time and Attention). * Engaging in goal-setting, and continuing to have goal-driven conversations. * Maintaining a focus on student learning, including assistance in analyzing student performance information and determining cause- effect relationships. e Exploring samples of student work, considering the protégé’s decisions and experiences and discussing both positive and negative results of instructional practice. * Actively engaging protégés in problem-solving and decision- making by forming problem-solving partnerships, brainstorming options and generating solutions. ¢ Assisting in the identification and articulation of criteria for choices and consequences with think alouds and coaching sessions. ¢ Building connections between current theory and classroom practice. * Constructing and conducting action research projects, building norms of experimentation and reflective practice.

Apps and digital tools targeted to teachers as “free” often come with underlying costs. Many tools used in the classroom, such as Canva, a graphic illustrator tool, or Wakelet, a digital curation app, require you to register for an account to use the tool. When you register for an account, you are usually asked to share personally identifiable information, like your name, email address, age, and/or gender. You will also be asked to review and accept the end-user license agreement or terms of service, which may involve giving away even more data, such as your IP address, device information, browser information, geolocation, and Internet browsing data.

If a magnetic field can create a current then we have a means of generating electricity. Experiments showed that a magnetic just sitting next to a wire produced no current flow through that wire. However, if the magnet is moving, a current is induced in the wire. The faster the magnet moves, the greater the induced current. This is the principal behind simple electric generators in which a wire loop is rotated between to stationary magnetics. This produces a continuously varying voltage which in turn produces an alternating current .

I defi nitely felt like I belonged. School was what they call a home away from home for me. I really felt their support.

I know this is not the experience of a lot of other students, but I really credit my teachers for all of their help and assistance.

I’m obviously an older person now. I mean, I see things different today. Back then I wasn’t so much interested in being there, you know, in school. But when I think about it, there was no one there saying, “hey, I care about you and I want to help you stay in school”. I was needed by my family and I get that. I’d do anything for them, you know. Being in my situation I really didn’t see much of a future for myself. I wonder what would have happened to me if I had someone like that looking after me

ruling principle of gothic architecture was that its structures should resemble those of an organic being.39 In which ever way we look at it, De Quincey's use of organic imagery to figure the revolutionaries imbues them with an inspirational power that obscures the political contempt he feels for them.

Fact and fiction merge, and history and cultural difference are effaced.

the sense of repetition—the fact that 1793 is repeated in 1830, and will be repeated again and again throughout the century—in form presents a familiar scenario for De Quincey. His opium dreams recounted in Confessions and its sequel, Suspiria de  Profundis, are full of coincidences and repeated events, and De Quincey's most characteristic anxiety is that of a man caught up in events that are not only beyond his control, but beyond control itself.

the term sublime should be applied to objects that provoked terror in the spectator—for example, a tiger, a storm, or a tyrant; this terror, which ‘robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning’, was experienced as a kind of negative pleasure, such as the feeling which one would experience on the brink of death.

This way of managing disabilities puts the burden fully on disabled people to manage their disability in a world that was not designed for them, trying to fit in with “normal” people.

Which abilities are expected of people, and therefore what things are considered disabilities, are socially defined. Different societies and groups of people make different assumptions about what people can do, and so what is considered a disability in one group, might just be “normal” in another.
