    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.

    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."

    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.

    13. the Detroit Right Wings,

      This group played on the NHL team, the Detroit Red Wings. They inappropriately and unlawfully used the DRW logo during the protest. This is significant as it caused a huge uproar in DRW fans as they might have been improperly informed and assumed that DRW supported this protest and nationalist/supremacist group(s). DRW and NHL came out with a statement addressing the issue and stating they did not support the protests and groups involved.

    14. 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."

      When Donald Trump addressed the public about the Unite the Right rally, he criticized both sides for the violence, hatred, and bigotry. However, it caused an uproar of criticizing Donald Trump for not expressing the hatred, bigotry, and violence that the white nationalists brought about, which led people to felt as though he was implying there was nothing morally wrong with nationalists and supremacists. This a significant moment in history as others presidents would have made it known that they did not support a group that incites violence and hatred for others, yet Donald Trump "stayed neutral".

    15. In an address later in the day following the rally, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, flanked by Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer, and Charlottesville's police chief, directly addressed the rally participants: "I have a message to all the white supremacists and the Nazis who came into Charlottesville today. Our message is plain and simple. Go home ... You are not wanted in this great commonwealth."[181] Signer said he was disgusted that white supremacists came to his town and he faulted President Donald Trump for inflaming racial tensions during his 2016 campaign, stating: "I'm not going to make any bones about it. I place the blame for a lot of what you're seeing in America today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president."[

      McAuliffe and Signer joined together as direct respondents to the Charlottesville attacks and condemn white supremacists and Nazis that came to the rally. They recognize that Trump and his staff can be to blame for the hate crimes that had been committed. I think that what they are referring to is the tolerance that Trump has had for these two specific groups. And, while these two men were expected to speak out about the Charlottesville incident, because they are directly tied to the city and state, it is still relieving to see that smaller political leaders, compared to the president, are able to speak out and attempt to condemn and influence future hate crimes by white supremacists and Nazis. They did not have to make a second statement denouncing these groups, because they said it in the first. There was no hesitation to stand up for what was right.

    16. Trump later tweeted "Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied...truly bad people!"[245

      This statement came from one of Trump's tweets, bashing the media, after his second statement he had made about the Charlottesville protests. What I find odd about this tweet is that Trump is so quick to denounce the news media when it goes against him, calling them "truly bad people," but he is so hesitant to denounce hate groups, like white supremacists, that largely caused the violence in Charlottesville. Trump did not think twice about denouncing the news media when it went against him, but thought twice about denouncing the hateful people who make up his base group of supporters. This is bad, truly bad...

    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. 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

    1. DeAndre Harris, a black teacher's aide from Charlottesville, was brutally beaten by white supremacists in a parking garage close to Police Headquarters; the assault was captured by photographs and video footage.[69][99] The footage showed a group of six men[100] beating Harris with poles, metal pipe, and wood slabs,[69][101] as Harris struggled to pick himself off the ground.[101] Harris suffered a broken wrist and serious head injury.[102] The attack was investigated by Charlottesville police, with help from the Virginia State Police and FBI.[99] On August 27, Daniel P. Borden was arrested and charged with malicious wounding in connection with the assault.[100][103] Another man, Alex Michael Ramos, was also charged with malicious wounding in connection with the attack,[100] and was arrested the following day.[3] Separately at the rally, "a man was captured on video shooting at the ground in the direction of an African-American counterprotester."[100] Richard W. Preston, the self-identified imperial wizard of the Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was arrested on August 25 and charged with discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school.

      There were so many occurrences that I hadn't known about before. Heather Heyer was widely discussed, but I was under the impression that her death was the act of violence that ended the rally. There were many acts, mostly racial hate-crimes, but also violence aimed at the LGBTQ community and others. The city had even attempted to reduce the damage by directing the rally away from the mall where a brawl took place, but they were limited in what steps they were allowed to take.

    2. the Detroit Right Wings

      This section of the article explains all of the protestors that were there as well as used. It shows that the Detroit Redwings were there to protest, but this can be misleading. The actual hockey team was not there protesting, as it was their logo that was unfortunately used for this protest. Right when this happened, the Detroit Red Wings made a clear statement that not only were they a part of this rally, but they also do not support their logo being a part of such a horrible protest. This is why it is important to read various articles so there is no confusion as to who protested and who did not. Their logo was taken and abused for this rally which is an unfortunate event. I see this happen all of the time throughout media and articles, taking one small aspect of something and turning into something that it is not meant to be. This is why it is important to be able to read between the lines.

    3. 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.

      Donald Trump went on television to give a statement in regards to the Charlottesville rally and caused an uproar by supporting the alt right. He expressed that the alt right were on the same playing field as the counter protestors, which was absurd. This is significant due to the fact that it shows the President's true colors as being a white supremacists himself. Examples from this comes from demeaning women, being a racist and a bigot during the primary, election, and current day. I have never seen anything like this as the leader of our country supporting the alt right, and only compare this to a dictatorships mentality.

    4. n the wake of the 2015 Charleston church shooting, efforts were made across the country to remove Confederate monuments from public spaces and rename streets honoring notable figures from the Confederacy. While often successful, those efforts often faced a backlash from conservatives or people concerned about protecting their Confederate heritage.[10] The August 11–12 rally was organized to protest the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue honoring the Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Emancipation Park in Charlottesville, Virginia, which had been renamed from Lee Park in June 2016.[13][14] The event was organized by Jason Kessler who had taken up the cause in March 2016 when Charlottesville vice-mayor Wes Bellamy held a press conference to call for removal of the statue. Kessler, who refers to Bellamy as "anti-white," had exposed a series of offensive tweets made by Bellamy and unsuccessfully tried to remove him from office.

      So essentially the people involved on the white supremacy side of this rally claimed to be in opposition of the removal of confederate monuments and claimed their confederate heritage. This is significant because even though they claimed to be protesting the removal of the monuments, they were shouting horrible, racially bigoted slurs. Their messages should have been about the monuments themselves, not minorities and other non-white individuals. This is why this rally was not about the monuments at all, it was about a group of people filled with so much hate that they began to attack people who were different. Also this "confederate heritage" is one based solely on racism. The confederate flag is here today because of racism, that flag was created with the intent to keep black people as slaves instead of letting humans be equal to other humans.

    5. Unite the Right rally

      Unite the Right was a rally held by nationalist and white supremacy protesters who were fighting against the removal of the Lee statue. The ally turned violent after a man ran down a crowd of people with his car. I think this event is significant because it goes to show how our history is doing a better job of tearing us (the US) apart than bringing us together. Even though the KKK was involved, it reminds me of the KKK involved with fires at black churches.

      How big was this event, really? Did it have such a huge impact on the country?

In practice it is often more convenient when working with the natural logarithm of the likelihood function, called the log-likelihood: ln ⁡ L ( θ ; x 1 , … , x n ) = ∑ i = 1 n ln ⁡ f ( x i ∣ θ ) , {\displaystyle \ln {\mathcal {L}}(\theta \,;\,x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})=\sum _{i=1}^{n}\ln f(x_{i}\mid \theta ),} or the average log-likelihood: ℓ ^ = 1 n ln ⁡ L . {\displaystyle {\hat {\ell }}={\frac {1}{n}}\ln {\mathcal {L}}.}

Parov Stelar was among the first who produced electronic swing music in Europe.[4] With his album Shine the BBC named Parov Stelar as one of the most promising producers active in Europe today.[5] His specific approach to music production, combined with a proven sense of sound aesthetics, led to a reaction from audiences and colleagues all around the world, giving him a reputation as the founder of a new genre: Electro Swing.[6]
    1. Hoppe has stated that Murray Rothbard was his "principal teacher, mentor and master".[2] After reading Rothbard's books and being converted to a Rothbardian political position, Hoppe moved from Germany to New York City to be with Rothbard, and then followed Rothbard to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, "working and living side-by-side with him, in constant and immediate personal contact." According to Hoppe, from 1985 until Rothbard's 1995 death, Hoppe considered Rothbard his "dearest fatherly friend".[15]
    1. On July 7, a BLM protest was held in Dallas, Texas that was organized to protest the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. At the end of the peaceful protest, Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire in an ambush, killing five police officers and wounding seven others and two civilians. The gunman was then killed by a robot-delivered bomb.[143] Before he died, according to police, Johnson said that "he was upset about Black Lives Matter", and that "he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."[144][144] Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and other conservative lawmakers blamed the shootings on the Black Lives Matter movement.[145][146] The Black Lives Matter network released a statement denouncing the shootings.[147][148][149] On July 8, more than 100 people were arrested at Black Lives Matter protests across the United States.[150]

    1. Vocativ's authors also found that the films that passed the test earned a total of $4.22 billion in the United States, while those that failed earned $2.66 billion in total, leading them to conclude that a way for Hollywood to make more money might be to "put more women onscreen."[35] A 2014 study by FiveThirtyEight based on data from about 1,615 films released from 1990 to 2013 concluded that the median budget of films that passed the test was 35% lower than that of the others. It found that the films that passed the test had about a 37% higher return on investment (ROI) in the United States, and the same ROI internationally, compared to films that did not pass the test.[37]

    1. Machine readable is not synonymous with digitally accessible. A digitally accessible document may be online, making it easier for humans to access via computers, but its content is much harder to extract, transform and process via computer programming logic if it is not in machine-readable format.
