    1. Finding what’s unclear

      The whole section is very interesting and well developed, as usual. The problems are with small issues of clarity.

    2. vagueness

      maybe use "ambiguiity"

    3. The question any argument about abortion needs to resolve, of course, is whether a fetus can be considered a human being, not whether a fetus has human cells. So this ambiguity of meaning means that the reason and the claim are not talking about the same thing.  The reason doesn’t really lead to the claim.  

      This is very clear. What if you deleted "hair and toenails" and just end that sentence with DNA? Then I think the confusing example could just be deleted...starting with, "We can tell that the above argument....." Continuing to and including, "Therefore cutting hair and nails should be illegal." After that you would have your good explanation, "The question any argument about abortion needs to resolve..."

    4. We can tell that the above argument is faulty if we substitute "fetus" for "hair" to construct a similar argument: No medical professional should be allowed to intentionally harm a human. Surely our hair and fingernails are human, not animal. Therefore cutting hair and nails should be illegal.

      I'm confused here because you say the problem lies in using "human" as a noun, and then as an adjective. But you do the same thing in your new example (in italics). Also I think you mean, substitute "hair" for "fetus."

    5. In that case, we might want to think about how one clarification or another might affect our assessment.  We can specify in our assessment that we support the argument if it means what we think it means but not if it means something else.

      Not too clear. What do you mean by "one clarification or another?" Do you mean a clarification needed in a side point as opposed to a central point? And how does the next sentence follow? This last sentence in the little paragraph doesn't seem to have to do with the first. Are the three sentences three different examples of how the problem may not be too serious? In that case, you have to make that clearer.

    6. if it is a side point rather than a central point that needs to be clarified.

      if the lack of clarification occurs in a side point, rather than a central point.

    7. to claim in the argument and whether there is an obvious way to clarify the argument or not.

      to claim and whether there is an obvious way to clarify the argument or not.

    8. yet she is talking about not keeping people out.

      and yet she is not talking about keeping people out.

    9. some control

      some kind of regulatory control,

    10. Or we might suggest that she left the concept of "help" ambiguous because there is no good answer to these questions: there is no satisfactory way to offer people a better life where they came from, and we cannot endlessly support them at the border.

      I find this confusing. The two examples of why there is no good answer to these questions don't seem to follow or connect with the idea of leaving the concept of "help" ambiguous.

    11. left

      leave

    12. discontent.

      discontent?

    13. But we might find it important to ask where she draws

      But where does she draw the line....

    14. and

      intentions, or giving the example of....

    15. they may be wondering if it means access to abortion across racial and economic groups or access to birth control or sex education or some combination of all of those.

      They may wonder if reproductive justice means access to abortion across racial and economic groups. Or, might it only mean access to birth control or sex education. Does it mean some combination of all three?

    16. Even if readers are

      Readers may or may not be aware of the different options women might have if they are experiencing an unwanted or risky pregnancy.

    17. For example, “We should all support reproductive justice.”

      This is not a complete sentence, but I am not sure if it matters or not.

    1. Because elements in periods 3 and 4 rarely form multiple bonds with themselves, their multiple bond energies are not accurately known. Nonetheless, they are presumed to be significantly weaker than multiple bonds between lighter atoms of the same families.

      elements in period 3&4 are presumed to be significantly weak

    1. Mitosis is divided into a series of phases—prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase—that result in the division of the cell nucleus (Figure 1.3.21.3.2\PageIndex{2}). Karyokinesis is also called mitosis.

      Memorizing the order PPMAT through me off in Chem 1. This chart that follows in the text helps alot though putting picture infront of you so you don't have to rely on the text.

    2. Interphase

      I really enjoy this whole section because it is such a crucial and fundamental process to genetics so this allows me to come back and have a reference guide in case I forget some of the finer details along the way

    3. Note that the two sister chromatids, which are held together by cohesin proteins, are still counted as a single chromosome until they are split apart during mitosis.

      This was a really great note. When first beginning to read the text I was confused on what it meant by two sister chromatids, that are counted for only one chromosome.

    1. DNA topoisomerases are, therefore, essential in the unwinding, replication, and rewinding of the circular, supercoiled bacterial DNA. In order for the long molecule of DNA to fit within the bacterium, the DNA must be supercoiled. However, this supercoiled DNA must be uncoiled and relaxed in order for DNA polymerase to bind for DNA replication and RNA polymerase to bind for transcription of the DNA.

      First look at the supercoiled I didn't understand how it had to unwind and how that occur. Though after some reasearch it is a bit clear. Still confusing to me though.

    2. Figure 1.2.41.2.4\PageIndex{4}: A metaphase chromosome preparation from a spiny frog Quasipaa boulengeri (from Qing et al, 2012). Chromosomes are released from nuclei and randomly dispersed (left). Images of each chromosome are digitally arranged into homologous pairs (right).

      did not understand this concept or how it pertained to the text much.

    3. Euchromatin is more loosely packed, and tends to contain genes that are being transcribed, when compared to the more densely compacted heterochromatin, which is rich in repetitive sequences and tends not to be transcribed.

      I had to do additional research to fully understand this concept.

    4. Describe and analyze karyograms and karyotypes.

      This learning objective was not clearly discussed in the text. In fact, there was no mention of karyograms.

    1. In each case, the phase of the wave function for each of the 2p orbitals is positive for the lobe that points along the positive axis and negative for the lobe that points along the negative axis. It is important to emphasize that these signs correspond to the phase of the wave that describes the electron motion, not to positive or negative charges.

      for all 2P orbitals there is a positive lobe and a negative lobe which corresponds to the phase of the wave that describes the electron (not the charge)

    2. when r is very small, the surface area of a spherical shell is so small that the total probability of finding an electron close to the nucleus is very low; at the nucleus, the electron probability vanishes

      r is small = surface area small = total probability of finding an electron close to the nucleus is small (almost vanishes)

    3. At very large values of r, the electron probability density is very small but not zero.

      electron probably is never 0

    1. Figure 2.2.22.2.2\PageIndex{2}: Steps in processing eukaroytic messenger RNAs

      could just be me, but it took me a little to fully grasp the concept it was showing.

    1. Figure 2.1.62.1.6\PageIndex{6}:Assembly of basal transcription complex and initiation of transcription

      do not understand the diagram at all.

    1. The first organismal genome to be sequenced was the prokaryote H. influenzae in 1995 (Fleischmann et al, 1995)

      Would have enjoyed some more key details here instead of just having to click links to go to everything

    1. The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, and in RNA, the sugar is ribose (Figure 1.1.11.1.1\PageIndex{1}). The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the second carbon of the ribose and hydrogen on the second carbon of the deoxyribose (so deoxyribose is "missing" an -OH group). The carbon atoms of the sugar molecule are numbered as 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ (1′ is read as “one prime”).

      The wording of this was very confusing to me, the diagram (above) showed so many carbons I was unsure. Which way do I read the DNA?

    1. at least 3/43/43/4 of the data lie within two standard deviations of the mean, that is, in the interval with endpoints x¯±2sx¯±2s\bar{x}\pm 2s for samples and with endpoints μ±2σμ±2σ\mu \pm 2\sigma for populations; at least 8/98/98/9 of the data lie within three standard deviations of the mean, that is, in the interval with endpoints x¯±3sx¯±3s\bar{x}\pm 3s for samples and with endpoints μ±3σμ±3σ\mu \pm 3\sigma for populations; at least 1−1/k21−1/k21-1/k2 of the data lie within kkk standard deviations of the mean, that is, in the interval with endpoints x¯±ksx¯±ks\bar{x}\pm ks for samples and with endpoints μ±kσμ±kσ\mu \pm k\sigma for populations, where kkk is any positive whole number that is greater than 111.

      at least a 3 quarters of all data lies within two standard deviations,88 percent lies within 3 standard deviation

    1. The aging process actually begins during early adulthood. Around the age of 30, many changes begin to occur in different parts of the body. For example, the lens of the eye starts to stiffen and thicken, resulting in changes in vision (usually affecting the ability to focus on close objects). Sensitivity to sound decreases; this happens twice as quickly for men as for women. Hair can start to thin and become gray around the age of 35, although this may happen earlier for some individuals and later for others. The skin becomes drier and wrinkles start to appear by the end of early adulthood. This includes a decline in response time and the ability to recover quickly from physical exertion. The immune system also becomes less adept at fighting off illness, and reproductive capacity starts to decline (Boundless, 2016).

      Hair begins to grey and grow thin during the early adulthood.

    1. idea that approaching an activity with a positive attitude about your potential success is the best strategy. We need to build a positive attitude about doing something we are afraid to do.

      Meh. This is a reflection of the same systems of toxic positivity elsewhere in the world. Yes, there's something to be said for steering the ship of your mind in a direction opposite of doom, but stifling your legitimate fear or apprehension with cliches of "think positive" sounds like it would only exacerbate it. How about instead, "it's ok to be nervous. Everyone feels nervous." Additionally, us as ethical listeners/audience members can have some grace for the real human emotions of the speaker.

    1. by reacting 0.1248MH20.1248MH20.1248\; M \;H_2 and 0.0416MN20.0416MN20.0416\; M \;N_2

    1. Exercise 2.4.3 seems to have incorrect significant figures in the answer to both the a and the b parts of the exercise.There ought to be four sig figs in answer a and three sig figs in answer b. Or am I confused?

    1. Over millions of years of evolution, mitochondria and chloroplasts have become more specialized and today they cannot live outside the cell. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have striking similarities to bacteria cells. They have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. And both organelles use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function. A double membrane surrounding both mitochondria and chloroplasts is further evidence that each was ingested by a primitive host. The two organelles also reproduce like bacteria, replicating their own DNA and directing their own division. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has a unique pattern of inheritance. It is passed down directly from mother to child, and it accumulates changes much more slowly than other types of DNA. Because of its unique characteristics, mtDNA has provided important clues about evolutionary history. For example, differences in mtDNA are examined to estimate how closely related one species is to another.

      There is compelling evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once primitive bacterial cells. This evidence is described in the endosymbiotic theory. Symbiosis occurs when two different species benefit from living and working together. When one organism actually lives inside the other it’s called endosymbiosis. The endosymbiotic theory describes how a large host cell and ingested bacteria could easily become dependent on one another for survival, resulting in a permanent relationship.

    1. The vapor pressure of a liquid lowers the amount of pressure exerted on the liquid by the atmosphere

      Cancels it out, or equalises perhaps, negates maybe, but lowers? I think that this could be worded better to avoid misinterpretation. Otherwise a great article - thanks.

    1. or my conscience (I thanked God) was burdened with nothing.

      Here Anne demonstrates her direct relationship with God, which is exactly how she got here.

    2. TO satisfy your expectation

      Anne Askew knows she is not in the wrong. This examination's sole purpose serves as a courtesy. Anne's sharp quick wit is brilliant, and not often seen in cannon literature.

      By stating the purpose of the examination, Anne shows her power over the inquisitors. She may not have governmental power, but her ability to properly interpret the Bible gives her power.

    3. Then I asked him, if he were certayne and sure, that it was true that he had spoken. And he sayd he knew well the booke was of I. Frithes making. Then I asked him if he were not ashamed for to iudge of the booke before hee saw it within, or yet knew the truth therof.

      I think this portion really well describes the debate between Protestants and Catholics on matters of interpretation and reading of the bible. It's hard to determine what the truth is in any manner, and the relationship between these two religions exemplified that fact.

    4. I answered, I would not throw pearles amōg swine, for Acornes were good enough

      This phrase stuck with me for a multitude of reasons, but I think it's a great example of Anne's witty and cunning nature, and it also shows how she truly felt about the men persecuting and interrogating her.

    5. confesse my selfe here a sinner before the throne of hys heauenly maiestie, desiring his forgeuenes

      This passage especially makes me wish that I could hear Anne's tone because I do believe she thinks that she's a sinner (as most Christians would say they are) but the implication here is that Anne is a sinner because of the way she practices her faith, which Anne probably wouldn't have said unless she were under duress.

    6. the scripture doth teach me.

      I think this is a really great example of Anne's sola scriptura approach to her faith. Under questioning, she maintains her commitment to scripture alone as the source of God's direction.

    7. Then I shewed him the 7. and 17 chap. of the actes of the Apostles, what Stephen and paule had said therein. Wherupon he asked me how I took those sentences? I answered, I would not throw pearles amōg swine, for Acornes were good enough

      Here Anne is referencing the 7th and 17th chapters of Acts, and what happens in them. In the 7th chapter Stephen is on trial where he explains the line of Abraham and how God was on their side through all of the difficulties the Israelites faced. He referenced Jacob, Joseph and Moses, and how Moses got them out of Egypt. Everyone who heard this got mad at him and stoned him to death, but at the end of his life he asked God to forgive those who killed him.

      The 17th chapter of Acts follows Paul as he goes to Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. He attempts to preach the scriptures at the Jewish synagogues in each place. In Thessalonica he was forced to leave because of rioting. In Berea he was received better, but then the Thessalonicans heard he was there they went to Berea and he was again forced to leave. Paul preached in Athens and some believed him while others did not.

      Anne's use of these passages demonstrates the fact that she knows scripture, and when she was asked how she "took those sentences" is referring to how she interprets those passages. By responding the way she did, she is confirming that she interpreted the scripture without being super obvious about it. This is because she doesn't reference either Stephen or Paul in her response, but rather references Matthew 7.6 where Jesus uses the same words to say that we should not give what is holy to those who are not, because they will ruin it. So by using this verse to respond she is demonstrating she does know the bible, but she is not going to provide him an answer.

    8. Then Wrisley Lord Chauncellour, sent to Anne Askew letters, offring to her the kyngs pardon, if she would recant. Who refusing once to looke vpon them, made this answer agayne: that she came not thether to deny her lord and Maister. Then were the letters likewise offered vnto the other, who in lyke manner followyng the constancie of the woman, denied not onely to receyue them, but also to looke vpon them. Whereupon the Lord Mayor commaundyng fire to be put vnto them, cryed wyth a lowde voyce, Fiat iustitia.

      As we discussed in class, Anne's consistency and determination stands out. The king tried one more time to persuade Anne to change her beliefs; however, she did not. In the King's final attempt to get Anne to recant really demonstrates the king desire for Catholicism to be the beliefs of all. His many attempts sort of lead me to believe he did not want to kill Anne. However, he saw her beliefs to be dangerous to himself and others, so killing her was 1. a must 2. an example of what others should not do.

    1. Define the relation ⪯⪯\preceq on ZZ\mathbb{Z} according to

      He is the psychologist

    2. They went off to the air tube, where a wind blew them like brown leaves up to their sleeping rooms.

      Simile

    3. HappyLife Hom

      Happy life home

    4. This room is their mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents.

      As parents, they didn't care the feelings and emotion changing of their two kids but using the smart room to replace their position.

    5. And suddenly they realized why those other screams had sounded familiar.

      The children were fantasizing about their parents being eaten by lions.

    6. “Lydia, it’s off, and it stays off. And the whole damn house dies as of here and now.

      This is how children lose trust in their parents.

    7. “The fool room’s out of order,” he said. “It won’t change.”

      The conflict happened here.

    8. All the most enjoyable creations of an imaginary world.

      they are all imaginative creatures and all not real.

    9. “And lock the nursery for a few days until I can get over this.”

      They are making the lions-chasing scenario in the nursery by using the glass wall and the three dimensional color film behind glass screens.

    10. And here were the lions now, fifteen feet away. They looked so real, so powerful and shockingly real, that you could feel the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

      "They looked so real" indicates that the lion is not real bu "looks like real"

    11. George Hadley looked up, and as he watched the shadow moved across his sweating face. “Horrible creatures,” he heard his wife say. “The vultures.”

      I really love the description here because I can absolutely capture the image in my head according to the description here.

    12. Soon an African veldt appeared, in three dimensions, on all sides, in color. It looked real to the smallest stone and bit of yellow summer grass. The ceiling above them became a deep sky with a hot yellow sun.

      I guess they were making a natural like nursery or room for animals but nor for humans.

    13. “George, I wish you’d look at the nursery.

      Using the conversation as an intro can be attractive and keep me want to know what happened.

    14. The children looked up and smiled. “Oh, they’ll be here directly.” “Good, we must get going.” At a distance Mr. McClean saw the lions fighting over something and then quietening down to feed in silence under the shady trees.

      They were so upset of the idea of going on vacation trip that they decided to lock their parents in the nursery so that they could be eaten by the lions. I don't know how to characterize this behavior from children.

    15. machines that deliver the smells and sounds to go with the scenery.

      So do they have machines or is it all integrated to the house?

    16. “You mean you want to fry my eggs for me?” “Yes.” She nodded. “And mend my socks?” “Yes.” She nodded again excitedly, with tears in her eyes. “And clean the house?” “Yes, yes – oh, yes!”

      It is clearly stated that the family does nothing and that they have machines that do it for them.

    17. “Maybe I don’t have enough to do.

      You can tell this was written by a man.

    18. You mean you want to fry my eggs for me?” “Yes.” She nodded. “And mend my socks?” “Yes.” She nodded again excitedly, with tears in her eyes. “And clean the house?” “Yes, yes – oh, yes!”

      they must live in a world were everything is automated and done for you.

    19. A wonder of efficiency

      what do they mean be efficiency? does the simulation power something.

    20. George Hadley started to sweat from the heat. “Let’s get out of this sun,” he said. “This is a little too real. But I don’t see anything wrong.”

      they must be in a super high tech home or something because they can actually feel the heat. I wonder what year it is.

    21. HappyLife Home

      this must be the name of their nursery or maybe the name for the whole building they are in.

    22. And suddenly they realized why those other screams had sounded familiar.

      The children had been recreating a scene of their parents death, which is why the screams were familiar to them.

    23. “Did you leave them in the nursery?”

      This was not a good idea to leave the two alone in there.

    24. They screamed and danced around and threw things. They shouted and cried and called them rude names and jumped on the furniture.

      The children are indeed very spoiled and undisciplined.

    25. Mr. and Mrs. Hadley screamed.

      This proves that they both got killed by the lions in the nursery.

    26. “I don’t think you’d better consider it any more, Father.”

      This was very bold, something I could not imagine saying to my parents.

    27. “Those screams – they sound familiar.”

      Who's screams are they?

    28. they treat us as if we were the children in the family

      The children have become accustomed to doing what they please with no limitations.

    29. There was a green, lovely forest, a lovely river, a purple mountain, high voices singing. And there was Rima the bird girl, lovely and mysterious. She was hiding in the trees with colorful butterflies, like flowers coming to life, flying about her long hair. The African veldt was gone

      The room seems to only follow what the children desire now.

    30. The veldt remained; the lions remained.

      The room is now refusing to obey his commands.

    31. The children thought lions, and there were lions. The children thought zebras, and there were zebras. Sun – sun. Giraffes – giraffes. Death and death.

      The nursery is able to recreate anything that its users desire.

    32. And here were the lions now, fifteen feet away. They looked so real, so powerful and shockingly real, that you could feel the hairs stand up on the back of your neck

      This is an extremely frightening sight.

    33. Nothing over there I can see but cleaned bone, and the vultures dropping for what’s left.

      The lions had completely finished their prey to the point where the animal is unrecognizable.

    34. A shadow passed through the sky

      The sky turned cloudy

    35. veldt

      A veld is open land in Africa

    36. Soon an African veldt appeared, in three dimensions, on all sides, in color. It looked real to the smallest stone and bit of yellow summer grass

      The room creates a virtual reality setting.

    37. the walls made a quiet noise and seemed to fall away into the distance

      The room is large and quiet?

    38. This house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them

      This is definitely a futuristic setting, as the house provides hospitality to them in an automated way.

    39. “But nothing’s too good for our children

      He wants his children to have the best

    40. It was forty feet across by forty feet long and thirty feet high

      Is the nursery indoors?

    41. watching the stove busy humming to itself, making supper for four.

      The setting must be in the future, since food is being made by kitchen appliances.

    42. nursery

      Do the main characters in the story own a nursery?

    43. “You know very well what he’d want.” His wife was standing in the middle of the kitchen watching

      Do they want the psychologist to talk to the wife?

    44. “I just want you to look at it, is all, or call a psychologist in to look at it.”

      Why doesn't George want to look at the nursery himself?

    45. “Those lions can’t get out of there, can they?”

      So it's something like a cage or a strong glass paned window.

    46. machines that deliver the smells and sounds

      So they have advanced technology that can create something that seems real, but it's not. Something like virtual reality.

    47. HappyLife Home

      Sounds like a smart home.

    48. “Who was it said, ‘Children are carpets, they should be stepped on occasionally’? We’ve never lifted a hand. They’re unbearable – let’s admit it. They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were the children in the family. They’re spoiled and we’re spoiled.

      The kids are too spoiled and I feel like theyre lazy and don't really do much.

    49. Why don’t we shut the whole house off for a few days and take a vacation?”

      I'm confused, how do they do that? is there house like a smart house?

    50. Africa in your living room. But it’s all created from three dimensional color film behind glass screens

      this is all imagination

    51. “Walls, Lydia, remember; glass walls, that’s all they are. Oh, they look real, I must admit – Africa in your living room.

      It seems like they're just trying to imagine how it would look like but its not real

    52. “I just want you to look at it, is all, or call a psychologist in to look at it.”

      I wonder why he wants George to look at the nursery so bad?

    53. I wish you’d look at the nursery

      I wonder what's wrong with the nursery

    54. house was full of dead bodies, it seemed. It felt like a mechanical cemetery

      imagery for turning off machines

    55. hatred here. You can feel it coming out of the sky. Feel that sun

      symbolism for hatred

    56. room has become a means of creating destructive thoughts, instead of helping to make them go away.

      the imaginary room was hurting them more than helping them.

    57. They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were the children in the family.

      the irony

    58. It’s supposed to help them work off their emotional problems in a healthy way.

      The children had emotional problems and the room was suppose to be a solution

    59. The African veldt was gone

      The room changed

    60. So George Hadley, deep in thought, sat watching the dining-room table produce warm dishes of food from the machines inside. “We forgot the tomato sauce,” he said. “Sorry,” said a small voice within the table

      The house is cooking for them and talking back to them.

    61. I thought that’s why we bought this house, so we wouldn’t have to do anything

      This is a special type of house that runs on automation?

    62. shut the whole house off for a few days

      how does one shut off a house? what do they mean by this?

    63. glass walls, that’s all they are.

      they were imaging through glass walls.

    64. idea for this room

      were they painting lions? or artifacts figures of lions?

    1. They want to see you apply and use in your writing the concepts you've read about. This is called text-based writing. Though different from a multiple-choice exam, academic writing also requires you to demonstrate your learning. So whatever writing assignment you receive, inspect it closely for what concepts it asks you to bring into your writing.

      The main points of this section . Good to know . It’s about what you read in the complex textbook that you have been assigned.

    2. In addition to reading attentively, you’ll need to think critically as you read: separating fact from opinion, recognizing biases and assumptions, and making inferences. Inferences are how we, as readers, connect the dots: an inference is a belief (or statement) about something unknown made on the basis of something known. You smell smoke; you infer fire. Inferences are conclusions or interpretations that we arrive at, based upon the known factors we discover from our reading.

      This is the main idea of this section which is reading critically

    3. unfamiliar

      It’s unfamiliar topic to write about in college which is different from high school level.

    4. You’ll need to know how to find information in the library, especially what is available from online databases that contain scholarly articles. Researching is also a process, so you’ll need to learn how to focus and direct a research project and how to keep track of all your source information.

      This is the main idea of this part which is research process and document your research and so on . It’s good points here

    5. synthesizing

      Combine something especially chemical , also combine sentences together . Or combine number together

    6. gauge

      Value , measure and so on

    7. polished

      Shiny , masterful , expert

    1. You now need to go to the folder you downloaded the Raspbian Zip file to.  This is a very large Zip file and WinZip can not handle it, and so you need to use another program like 7-Zip, which you installed in the first module (section 1.1.4). 

      please read this

    1. Your sister comes home from spending the evening with her friends, slams the front door and runs to her room while crying.

      Sister was humiliated by the people she thought were her true friends.

    2. You are giving a speech in front of an audience and notice several people laughing and pointing at something on your pants.

      Your zipper is open. OR Your pants got wet you didn't notice.

    3. You see a man running and frantically waving at a bus that is pulling away from a bus stop.

      He's gonna be late at work/meeting/agenda if he doesn't take that bus he's trying to stop.

    4. For example, if you go over to a friend's house and they point at the sofa and say, "Don't sit there; Candy came over with her baby again," what could you logically conclude? First, you know there must be a reason not to sit where your friend is pointing. Further, you know that the reason to not sit there is related to the fact that Cindy just visited with her baby. You don't know what exactly happened, but you can infer enough and don't need to ask any more questions to know that you do not want to sit there.

      On this example, you are basically filling in the blanks by inferring because it may be rude to ask or don't want to worry too much because it's not what you came in for.

      Reading between the lines it is.

    5. An inference is a conclusion you reach by applying logic to the evidence you are given.

      Definition of Inference.

  3. Aug 2020
    1. Soon an African veldt appeared

      they painted the nursery?

    2. And suddenly they realized why those other screams had sounded familiar.

      The kids set up the parents and locked them in the room. It seems like the room could predict the future because the author mentioned screams at the start of this story.

    3. “Well, in five minutes we’ll be on our way to Iowa. Lord, how did we ever get in this house? What made us buy a nightmare?” “Pride, money, foolishness.”

      They wanted the best for their kids, but it turned on them and made the kids spoiled.

    4. This room is their mother and father, far more important in their lives than their real parents

      They have been spoiled too much.

    5. My advice to you is to have the whole damn room torn down and your children brought to me every day during the next year for treatment

      They think the kids are in some sort of negative emotional state and they don't want to tell/don't know how to tell the parents.

    6. That sounds terrible! Would I have to tie my own shoes instead of letting the machine do it

      All the kids want to do is play.

    7. couldn’t be rocked to sleep for another hour

      They have this unsettling feeling.

    8. Children are carpets, they should be stepped on occasionally

      While you should give your children the world, they also need to be taught life lessons once in a while.

    9. Wendy and Peter

      They are the children in this family of four.

    10. He knew exactly how the room should work. You sent out your thoughts. Whatever you thought would appear

      This was some sort of imagination room or it could be some sort of literary terminology on books they have been reading or what they have been thinking. Nightmares?

    11. “Sorry,” said a small voice within the table, and tomato sauce appeared.

      There's a machine to do everything in the house for them.

    12. sitting down in a chair that immediately began to rock and comfort her.

      She needed comfort like how a baby does when a parent holds them.

    13. Africa in your living room. But it’s all created from three dimensional color film behind glass screens

      The scenario was not real.

    14. His wife sounded strangely nervous

      It looks like something out of the ordinary seemed to have happened.

    15. George and Lydia Hadley

      Hadley from the word cloud was the couple/siblings' last name.

    16. They stood on the grass-like floor of the nursery

      It's a nursery for animals.

    17. This house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them

      This might have been their childhood home or it might be referring to infants.

    18. making supper for four

      They have either kids, guests, or some type of company.

    19. I wish you’d look at the nursery

      There will be some type of problem in this story.

    1. Translate into an equation. It may be helpful to restate the problem in one sentence with all the important information. Then, translate the English sentence into an algebraic equation.

      It helps me to go back and look at what the problem is asking, then figure out what formula to start with. I also wrote down all the steps in my notes to easily solve the problem.

    1. Which factors are correct? To decide that, we multiply the inner and outer terms

      I have never used this method before to check my factors but I will start doing so to make sure my answers are correct

    2. −9(6); −9(−6)−9(6); −9(−6)−9(6);\space −9(−6).

      -54, 54

    1. the probability of finding an electron in the various available orbitals falls off slowly as the distance from the nucleus increases.

      The farther away you get from the nucleus, the less likely there will be an electron there.

    1. “... We must recognize this crossing as an ethical, reasonable act.” "How can either a wall or a detention center be on the side of justice?" (The implication, of course, is that they cannot be.) “ We must find a policy that treats migrants as we would want to be treated--with empathy, respect, and offers of help.”

      !!!

    1. without criminalizing people who are driven by need and good intentions.

      !!!

    2. All the disagreement over immigration policy I have been hearing about in the news lately reminds me that while I believe in the rule of law, I feel profoundly uncomfortable with the idea of keeping people out who are desperate to come in. Is illegal immigration actually wrong? Is it unethical to cross a border without permission? I don’t have a clear vision yet of what the right border policy would be, and I admit that completely open borders would put our security at risk. But surely there are ways to regulate the border without criminalizing people who are driven by need and good intentions. If I were raising children in an impoverished third-world community plagued by violence, and if I had a chance to get my family to the U.S., I would take it. I would try to cross a border illegally so my children would get enough to eat and would have a more stable childhood and a chance at a better education and a better career. What parent would sit on their hands and tell themself, “I want to give my child a better life, but oh well. If I don’t have the papers, I guess it would be wrong”? If most of us, under desperate circumstances, would cross the border without permission and feel no moral qualms about doing so, then we must recognize this crossing as an ethical, reasonable act. If it is ethical and reasonable, then how can either a wall or a detention center be on the side of justice? We must find a policy that treats migrants as we would want to be treated--with empathy, respect, and offers of help.

      I mean but the fact we all feel this when when economics are set aside and we cause most of the issues happening in neighboring countries and we still don't have a better program then caging family units seperatly and caging them and individuals for long periods of time in un healthy environments is sad

    1. Table 4.4.24.4.2\PageIndex{2}: Three different types of cuvettes commonly used, with different usable wavelengths.

      This table has some errors.

      Glass is usually considered: 340 to 2500 nm

      Quartz (admittedly different from Fused Quartz) is usually considered: 190 to 2500 nm

    2. Table 4.4.14.4.1\PageIndex{1}: UV absorbance cutoffs of various common solvents

      I would add the cuttoffs to a few experimentally key solvents as follows:

      -Acetonitrile: 195

      -Chloroform: 245

      -DMSO: 265

      Reasons:

      -Acetonitrile has one of the better UV cuttoffs among standard solvents along with water and ethanol, but its ability to dissolve compounds is a bit different relative to water or ethanol so the three represent a nice range of potent solvents that together cover a rather broad range of potential solutes with an excellent UV cuttoff. Additionally acetonitrile is one of the most common solvents for HPLC for which UV is the most common detector used.

      Chloroform: An extremely powerful organic solvent for more aliphatic compounds with a middling UV cuttoff. While it is chloroform-D1 (i.e. CDCl3) that is used for NMR experiments, its cuttoff is very close to that of regular chloroform, and it is very common for busy researchers to try and reuse their NMR sample for other analytical experiments including UV.

      -DMSO: poor cutoff and generally not a great solvent for UV work, but it is one of the most popular solvents after water for biologists to dissolve compounds in, and biologists frequently make use of UV for quantifying compound concentration.

    1. "what is this?" or "how does it work?" variety.

      I am most knowledgeable about this one. This is what i thought all research was this.

    2. pure and applied

      I honestly did not know that there could be two kinds of research. I don't know why I didn't expect it. How ill remeber it is AP research.

    1. pioneered the use of heat sterilization to eliminate unwanted microorganisms in wine and milk.

      I can't believe that it took this long to sterilize milk considering how long humans would've been around for a very long time.
