      maybe it's because I have no idea what there terms are, and even if I read the descriptions it seems like a complicated topic, but I feel like the curators of this page threw in a bunch of definitions from the medical textbooks or encyclopedias they used. For wiki, this is actually impressive, but for people who are looking for a quick and easy explanation might be thrown off.

    1. For example, funding agencies may be more interested in performance measures related to the translation of team research findings to practical applications, whereas team researchers may use the number of publications produced and amount grant funding obtained to gauge the success of a team science endeavor. In addition, the method of evaluation and metrics of success may vary at different points during the team research project. Short-term measures may include indicators of synergistic output, whereas long-term measures may be related to the impact of the research on the evolution of a discipline or the development of public policy.

      Complexities of measuring effectiveness of team science from different perspectives.

    1. Describing the creation of Superorganism's songs, Orono Noguchi says, "It usually starts with us listening to music and talking about music, art, and all kinds of stuff in the kitchen. Then, one of us would come up with a very basic idea for a song. We'd then send the file back and forth among the group and add on some random ideas that we have. We'd keep working on it until we have a final product."[9] "We've got the guy making the videos downstairs, mixing in the other room, [and] singing going on [elsewhere]," Harry says in regards to their live-in studio. "We've created this kind of warped version of a pop production house."[1]
    1. The CBO has indicated that: "Future growth in spending per beneficiary for Medicare and Medicaid—the federal government’s major health care programs—will be the most important determinant of long-term trends in federal spending. Changing those programs in ways that reduce the growth of costs—which will be difficult, in part because of the complexity of health policy choices—is ultimately the nation’s central long-term challenge in setting federal fiscal policy."

      the trend is troubling

    2. Certain entitlement programs, because the language authorizing them are included in appropriation bills, are termed "appropriated entitlements." This is a convention rather than a substantive distinction, since the programs, such as Food Stamps, would continue to be funded even if the appropriation bill were to be vetoed or otherwise not enacted.

      "appropriated entitlements" seems best descriptor

    1. The New International Economic Order (NIEO) was a set of proposals put forward during the 1970s by some developing countries through the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to promote their interests by improving their terms of trade, increasing development assistance, developed-country tariff reductions, and other means. It was meant to be a revision of the international economic system in favour of Third World countries, replacing the Bretton Woods system, which had benefited the leading states that had created it – especially the United States. This order was demanded by the Non-Aligned Movement.

    1. (inserting false, defamatory or biased statements into biographies) have attracted publicity.[2][3]

      Always double check sources, as using one bad source can discredit anything it's used on. This also basically sums up the entire article and is evidence of why digital literacy is so imperative.

    1. After seeing limited playing time during the first part of the season, Green was placed on the Fayetteville Patriots of the NBA D-League by the Celtics in January 2006. He was recalled and activated to an NBA roster position on February 3. He was reassigned to the NBDL, to the Florida Flame, on February 16. He was recalled and activated again on February 21, and saw his first significant NBA game action on the following night, scoring 13 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in 23 minutes.

      It is interesting to see how he came up from the D-League and became an NBA all-star. He had to start as a nobody and turn himself into a somebody. His rookie year he didn't get to play or score a lot but then he turned himself into a scoring machine. It was like he couldn't be guarded and it was all because of how hard he pushed himself.

    1. Derivative[edit] The derivative for a curve of order n is B ′ ( t ) = n ∑ i = 0 n − 1 b i , n − 1 ( t ) ( P i + 1 − P i ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {B} '(t)=n\sum _{i=0}^{n-1}b_{i,n-1}(t)(\mathbf {P} _{i+1}-\mathbf {P} _{i})}

      $B(n, t) = \displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i} (1-t)^{n-i}t^iP_i$ for points $Pi$, then $$\begin{align} B^{'}(n, t) &= \sum{i=0}^n {n \choose i}\left[i(1-t)^{n-i}t^{i-1} -(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^i \right]Pi \ &= \underbrace{\sum{i=0}^n {n \choose i}i(1-t)^{n-i}t^{i-1}Pi}{1^{st}\text{ term vanishes}} - \underbrace{\sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i}(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iPi}{n^{th}\text{ term vanishes}}\

      &= \sum_{i=1}^n {n \choose i}i(1-t)^{n-i}t^{i-1}Pi - \sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n \choose i}(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iPi\ &= \sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n \choose i+1}(i+1)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iP{i+1} - \sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n \choose i}(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iPi\ &= n\sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n-1 \choose i}(1-t)^{(n-1)-i}t^iP{i+1} - n\sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n-1 \choose i}(1-t)^{(n-1)-i}t^iPi\ &= n\sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n-1 \choose i}(1-t)^{(n-1)-i}t^i(P_{i+1} - P_i) \end{align}$$

      which is equal to $nB(n-1, t)$ with points $\left(P_{i+1} - P_i\right)$

    1. In psychology, it is common to realize that the theoretical foundation has devolved, and that information can not change since it comes directly from the authors, but after so many years if it is possible to publish advances and theoretical updates, this section would be useful to attach current information of researches and didactic documents that could be taken to the 21st century classrooms

    1. From a production standpoint, transmedia storytelling involves creating content[3] that engages an audience using various techniques to permeate their daily lives.[4] In order to achieve this engagement, a transmedia production will develop stories across multiple forms of media in order to deliver unique pieces of content in each channel. Importantly, these pieces of content are not only linked together (overtly or subtly), but are in narrative synchronization with each other.

    1. Green originally committed to Oklahoma State University, but later decided to enter the NBA Draft upon graduation. He hired an agent, thereby making himself ineligible to participate in NCAA athletics.

      In cases like this. Once you hire an Agent to enter the draft, you automatically become ineligable for any other NCAA sports. If a player were no to get drafted in the current years draft, they are left with 2 options; train for next years draft or they could sign with a team in free agency and hopefully get picked up in the summer.

    1. The word "iambic" refers to the type of foot that is used, known as the iamb, which in English is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

      Is there really a correct way of saying something? According to the Iambic Pentameter, there are more than a few ways of distinguishing the stressed syllable within a word. "Iambic" in particular refers to the first syllable pf a word as stressed. Well, what about those with non-similar accents? If a person from Los Angeles were to attempt to say the same word as someone from Virginia just in different accents, I ask which syllable would be stressed more than the other?

    1. eria "Da Michele" in Via C. Sersale (founded 1870),[21] consider there to be only two true pizzas—the marinara and the margherita—and that is all they serve. These two "pure" pizzas are the ones preferred by many Italians today. The marinara is the older of the two and has a topping of tomato, oregano, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. It is named “marinara” because it was traditionally the food prepared by "la marinara", the seaman's wife, for her seafaring husband when he returned from fishing trips in the Bay of Naples. The margherita is topped with modest amounts of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It is widely attributed to baker Raffaele Esposito, who worked at "Pizzeria di Pietro", established in 1880. Though recent research casts doubt on this legend,[22] the tale hol

    2. ld in the street and was not considered a kitchen recipe for a long time.[12] This was later replaced by oil, tomatoes (after Europeans came into contact with the Americas) or fish. In 1843, Alexandre Dumas, père, described the diversity of pizza toppings.[13] An often recounted story holds that on 11 June 1889, to honour the Queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, the Neapolitan pizzamaker Raffaele Esposito created the "Pizza Margherita", a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, to represent the national colours of Italy as on the Italian flag.[14][15][16] Pizza is now a type of bread and tomato dish, often served with cheese. However, until the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, the dish was sweet, not savory, and earlier versions which were savory more resembled the flat breads now known as schiacciata.[17] Pellegrino Artusi's classic early-twentieth-century cookbook, La Scienza in cucina e l'Arte di mangiar bene gives three recipes for pizza, all of which are sweet.[18] However, by 1927, Ada Boni's collection of regional cooking includes a recipe using tomatoes and mozzarella.[19] Innovation[edit] The innovation that led to flat bread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. For some time after the tomato was brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, it was believed by many Europeans to be poisonous (as some other fruits of the nightshade family are). However, by the late 18th century, it was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomato to their yeast-based flat bread, and so the pizza began.[citation needed] The dish gained popularity, and soon pizza became a tourist attraction as visitors to Naples ventured into the poorer areas of the city to try the local specialty.

    1. On March 22, 2017, during the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, Nunes held a press conference to announce that he had received information that communications of members of Trump's transition team had been "incidentally collected" by the intelligence community. The communications had been obtained legally during foreign intelligence surveillance, but were not related to Russia. He added that the information was "widely disseminated" in the intelligence community, and later clarified that Trump associates were not necessarily participants in the intercepted conversations.[62] Nunes was widely criticized for sharing this information with the media and the president before briefing his colleagues on the committee.[63] According to Nunes, the intercepted communications came in November, December and January – after Trump won the election but before he was sworn in as president.[64] Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the committee, and House Democratic leadership called on Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation.[6] He also received criticism from Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham.[65] The latter compared Nunes's actions to those of the comically incompetent fictional character Inspector Clouseau.[66]

    1. The Service Design (SD) volume[6] provides good-practice guidance on the design of IT services, processes, and other aspects of the service management effort. Significantly, design within ITIL is understood to encompass all elements relevant to technology service delivery, rather than focusing solely on design of the technology itself. As such, service design addresses how a planned service solution interacts with the larger business and technical environments, service management systems required to support the service, processes which interact with the service, technology, and architecture required to support the service, and the supply chain required to support the planned service. Within ITIL, design work for an IT service is aggregated into a single Service Design Package (SDP). Service design packages, along with other information about services, are managed within the service catalogues.

More generally, Service Strategy focuses on helping IT organizations improve and develop over the long term. In both cases, Service Strategy relies largely upon a market-driven approach. The Service Strategy lifecycle stage is often considered as the core of the service lifecycle. In Service Strategy stage, the strategic approach for the whole lifecycle is identified to provide values to the customers through IT service management. Key topics covered include service value definition, business-case development, service assets, market analysis, and service provider types. List of covered processes:

    1. Additionally Michael Schuman of Time magazine noted that these banks kept injecting new funds into unprofitable "zombie firms" to keep them afloat, arguing that they were too big to fail. However, most of these companies were too debt-ridden to do much more than survive on bail-out funds. Schuman believed that Japan's economy did not begin to recover until this practice had ended.

      Seems like the root cause of this baron period

    2. Trying to deflate speculation and keep inflation in check, the Bank of Japan sharply raised inter-bank lending rates in late 1989.[11] This sharp policy caused the bursting of the bubble and the Japanese stock market crashed.

    1. Socratic questioning (or Socratic maieutics)[1] is disciplined questioning that can be used to pursue thought in many directions and for many purposes, including: to explore complex ideas, to get to the truth of things, to open up issues and problems, to uncover assumptions, to analyze concepts, to distinguish what we know from what we don't know, to follow out logical implications of thought or to control the discussion. The key to distinguishing Socratic questioning from questioning per se is that Socratic questioning is systematic, disciplined, deep and usually focuses on fundamental concepts, principles, theories, issues or problems.

    1. The Solow–Swan model augmented with human capital predicts that the income levels of poor countries will tend to catch up with or converge towards the income levels of rich countries if the poor countries have similar savings rates for both physical capital and human capital as a share of output, a process known as conditional convergence.

      Income convergence of the poor and rich people will happen conditional on them enjoying similar savings rates. Otherwise, it might not happen.

    1. In a recent interview he remarked about his home and lifestyle, "This is West Oakland, man. This is the bottoms right here."

      This area of West Oakland is known as the "Lower Bottoms". It is possible that the meaning of "bottoms" here is simply Stalin referring to the neighborhood by name.

    1. Unlike some theories, which focus on top-down goal-setting, GTD works in the opposite direction. Allen argues that it is often difficult for individuals to focus on big picture goals if they cannot sufficiently control the day-to-day tasks that they frequently must face.[1]:54 By developing and using the trusted system that deals with day-to-day inputs, an individual can free up mental space to begin moving up to the next level.

    1. On 31 October 1517, Luther wrote to his bishop, Albrecht von Brandenburg, protesting the sale of indulgences. He enclosed in his letter a copy of his "Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences", which came to be known as the Ninety-five Theses. Hans Hillerbrand writes that Luther had no intention of confronting the church, but saw his disputation as a scholarly objection to church practices, and the tone of the writing is accordingly "searching, rather than doctrinaire."[32] Hillerbrand writes that there is nevertheless an undercurrent of challenge in several of the theses, particularly in Thesis 86, which asks: "Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?"

    1. Ad hoc polymorphism: when a function denotes different and potentially heterogeneous implementations depending on a limited range of individually specified types and combinations. Ad hoc polymorphism is supported in many languages using function overloading. Parametric polymorphism: when code is written without mention of any specific type and thus can be used transparently with any number of new types. In the object-oriented programming community, this is often known as generics or generic programming. In the functional programming community, this is often shortened to polymorphism. Subtyping (also called subtype polymorphism or inclusion polymorphism): when a name denotes instances of many different classes related by some common superclass.[3] In the object-oriented programming community, this is often referred to as simply Inheritance.

      个人认为 这里其实 ad hoc 和 subtype 是有相近之处的 都是一样东西 比如 function 或者 object, 我们使用不同的角度去看 比如 不同 parameter 和 type 可以得到(部分)不同(也可能相同)的实现. (其实对于 object 应该是相同?) 这里倾向于去利用一个东西 as a user

    1. white supremacists, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, neo-Nazis, and various militias

      It is sickening to see that groups that perpetuate hate are still able to do those things in 2017. This is a sentence confirming that this nation has not made as much progress as one may think. I have experienced racism and it is very triggering.

    2. In his initial statement on the rally, U.S. President Donald Trump did not denounce white nationalists explicitly, instead condemning "hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides." His statement and his subsequent defenses of it were seen by critics as implying moral equivalence between the white supremacist marchers and those who protested against them.[8]

      This basically recaps the response of the President defending the actions of the white supremacists. This is important because it shows just how deep the issue really is. Why didn't he see an issue? Because he shares the same rigid and harmful values.

    3. In the aftermath of the rally and the car ramming, some criticized the police handling of the rally. Claire Gastañaga, executive director of the Virginia ACLU, wrote that "The situation that occurred was preventable" and the ACLU's lawsuit, which resulted in a federal court granting an injunction allowing the rally to go forward at Emancipation Park, "did not cause it."[146] Gastañaga wrote that: "The lack of any physical separation of the protesters and counterprotesters on the street was contributing to the potential of violence. [Police] did not respond. In fact, law enforcement was standing passively by, waiting for violence to take place, so that they would have grounds to declare an emergency, declare an 'unlawful assembly' and clear the area."[146] On August 12, investigative news organization ProPublica published an article reporting that Virginia State Police troopers and Charlottesville police "wearing protective gear watched silently from behind an array of metal barricades" and allowed "white supremacists and counterprotesters to physically battle" without intervening. A. C. Thompson wrote that in "one of countless such confrontations," police watched passively as "an angry mob of white supremacists formed a battle line across from a group of counterprotesters, many of them older and gray-haired, who had gathered near a church parking lot. On command from their leader, the young men charged and pummeled their ideological foes with abandon. One woman was hurled to the pavement, and the blood from her bruised head was instantly visible."[97]

      It's interesting that the police took a bystander approach to this rally. In the media we have have seen countless amounts of innocent victims being slain by the police in the defense that they were scared and in the Charlottesville rally, the police idled around until something happened. If the police are too afraid to do their jobs adequately then they don't have them or need more extensive training.

    4. "We all must be united and condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Let's come together as one!" He said, "we condem in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides."[207][208][209] He added, "What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order."[209]

      This quote is the stance that Trump took for the Charlottesville riots. The statement weighed the actions of the white supremacist and Neo Nazi groups as the same actions of counter protesters such as Black Lives Matter and Anti-Racists Action. The counter protesters were there to refute the hate and evil that white supremacists groups promoted. The counter protesters were reactionary, they gave what they were met with. Did Trump expect the counter protesters to just idle as they probably trampled,spat on, pushed and hit repeatedly? At some point of the riot, the counter protesters were practicing self defense and even when things settled down, a car came crashing into a innocent crowd of people resulting in 1 death.

    5. Tensions increased on the evening of Friday, August 11 when a group of white nationalists—variously numbered at dozens[79] or around 100[80]—marched through the University of Virginia's campus while chanting Nazi and white supremacist slogans, including[65] "White lives matter"; "you will not replace us"; and "Jews will not replace us."[6]

      White supremacy groups have a long history of radical hatred and killing.The protesters came to the rally spewing hate with malicious intent. They wanted violence to break out because if they didn't, they would have not brought weapons or been yelling hateful chants. The protester need to be called out for who they are and that is domestic terrorists.

    6. His statement and his subsequent defenses of it were seen by critics as implying moral equivalence between the white supremacist marchers and those who protested against them.

      It was unprofessional and wrong of Trump to take a neutral stance when one of the groups involved was blatantly holding anti-semitic and racist sentiments which should have been shut down by a person of power such as the president.

    7. Numerous armed, right-wing militia groups were present at the rally, claiming to be there to protect the First Amendment rights of the demonstrators.

      The fact that right-wing militia groups were present at the rally tells me that it was never a peaceful rally to begin with. They may have claimed to be their to protect the demonstrators, but at a rally or a protest there shouldn't be a need for extensive weapons that militiamen would be carrying.

    8. Protesters at the rally carrying Confederate flags, Gadsden flags, and a Nazi flag

      That's absolutely awful that protesters were carrying the Nazi flag. The confederate flag is an awful and racist symbol as well. To bear these flags so openly is truly disgusting, and to live in a country where so many people try to justify their open hatred of entire groups is terrifying.

    9. "I urge students and all UVA community members to avoid the August 12 rally and avoid physical confrontation generally. There is a credible risk of violence at this event, and your safety is my foremost concern."[66] The University of Virginia Medical Center canceled all elective surgeries and preemptively activated its emergency response plan.[67][68] Fearing possible violence, the Virginia Discovery Museum and some downtown businesses closed for the day of the rally.[21]

      The fact that UVA urged students to avoid the rally, and businesses closed due to the anticipation of violence also says a lot about the group of people present at the rally.

    10. At around 1:45 p.m, a man linked to white-supremacist groups rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) away from the rally site, killing one person and injuring 19.[7][11] Attorney General Jeff Sessions described the ramming as domestic terrorism, and authorities began a civil rights investigation to determine if the driver will be tried under hate crime statutes.[12]

      From what I heard, a lot of (white) people seemed hesitant to call the white-supremacist who rammed his car into the protesters a terrorist despite his actions being that of a terrorist. I'm sure had it been the other way around (a nonwhite person, or possibly a muslim ramming their car into a crowd of white supremacists), the general public would have been very quick to jump on his acts as terrorism and call it what it was.

    11. The Unite the Right rally (also known as the Charlottesville rally) was a far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States, from August 11–12, 2017

      Context as to who the rally was by and what the rally's purpose was (opposing the removal of Robert E Lee statue ). Also explaining the groups of people at the rally and their racist and antisemitic slogans that they shouted.

    12. His statement and his subsequent defenses of it were seen by critics as implying moral equivalence between the white supremacist marchers and those who protested against them.[8]

      In his address to the general population, Trump basically stated that both sides were in the wrong. His stance on the situation was dangerously neutral and lacked any sense of leadership. To compare the two groups together is asinine - one group stands for hatred and white supremacy and the other opposes that and stand for human rights and equality. To make matters worse, Trump has gone on several rampages in the meantime, where he's made more definitive statements about NFL players and the "Rocket Man" from North Korea.

    1. Sethos became the hero of an influential fantasy novel, Life of Sethos, Taken from Private Memoirs of the Ancient Egyptians, published in 1731 by the French Abbé Jean Terrasson.

      That would make this the first fantasy novel by a long run, way before George MacDonald. Is this a correct classification?

    1. Opinions of the films are generally divided among fans, with one group preferring the more faithful approach of the first two films, and another group preferring the more stylised character-driven approach of the later films

      interesting to me because I've seen all the movies and never really noticed a big stylistic change between the different directors

    1. The use of the MVC pattern in web applications exploded in popularity after the introduction of Apple's WebObjects in 1996, which was originally written in Objective-C (that borrowed heavily from Smalltalk) and helped enforce MVC principles. Later, the MVC pattern became popular with Java developers when WebObjects was ported to Java. Later frameworks for Java, such as Spring (released in October 2002), continued the strong bond between Java and MVC. The introduction of the frameworks Django (July 2005, for Python) and Rails (December 2005, for Ruby), both of which had a strong emphasis on rapid deployment, increased MVC's popularity outside the traditional enterprise environment in which it has long been popular. MVC web frameworks now hold large market-shares relative to non-MVC web toolkits.[14]

      A bit of history and relation with Smalltalk.

    2. Some web MVC frameworks take a thin client approach that places almost the entire model, view and controller logic on the server. This is reflected in frameworks such as Django, Rails and ASP.NET MVC. In this approach, the client sends either hyperlink requests or form submissions to the controller and then
