    1. his intent, though undiscovered, being suspected, he was, on a pretense, made to retire out of sight, and at last into the hold, and there was made away with

      interesting...

    2. the negro Babo proposed to him to gain from Amasa Delano full particulars about his ship, and crew, and arms

      decieivng

    3. asked him whose skeleton that was, and whether, from its whiteness, he should not think it a white’s

      all skeletons are pretty much the same color....what

    4. Babo had intimated to him several times, that he would kill all the whites the very moment he should perceive any city, town, or settlement of any kind on the shores to which they should be carried

      dude should've trusted his gut feelings

    5. Nearly a score of the negroes were killed.

      I don't like the term "score" in here. it feels like a wrong word choice, I don't know

    6. the American did not give up his design

      focusing in on American here and what this is saying about being American

    7. _Follow your leader_

      still wondering about the underscores

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

      eyes finally opening

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

      um

    10. Spaniard again fervently took the hand of the American

      point of contact

    11. I cannot go,” was the response.

      why????

    12. Marking the servant still above

      "above" hm...power dynamic

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

      coming off as more than just a servant...

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

      hm okay then

    15. Without companions, host and guest sat down, like a childless married couple, at opposite ends of the table

      like.... a date?

    16. the creature of his own tasteful hands

      hm interesting way to put this

    17. just then the razor drew blood, spots of which stained the creamy lather under the throat

      dun dun dun!! foreshadowing has taken effect

    18. And now, Don Amasa, please go on with your talk about the gale, and all that; master can hear, and, between times, master can answer.”

      the dynamic between the two is still so weird based on how they talk to one another

    19. This seems a sort of dormitory, sitting-room, sail-loft, chapel, armory, and private closet all together, Don Benito

      woah dude just kept rolling with the punches

    20. At present neither men nor cannon were seen

      so the openings are useless?

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

      there is such an odd dynamic here of the servant sort of "parenting" their master

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

      this is just sad

    23. a white

      so..why must the race be mentioned...again?

    24. warped as a camel’s skeleton in the desert

      super interesting imagery here

    25. mouthfuls all around were given alike to whites and blacks

      something being "alike" between the two is uncommon in these pieces of works we've read

    26. serving the oldest white no better than the youngest black

      interesting way of doing things...

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

      so much tension here

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

      toxic masculinity; perceives any assistance as a threat to his authority

    29. as if a child should lead a bull of the Nile by the ring in his nose.

      something unexpected happening; like something small and weak (a child) controlling/leading something more powerful and dangerous (a bull)

    30. six o’clock in the afternoon

      Probably 6pm, though I'd consider that more evening than afternoon (maybe I'm just being nitpicky lol)

    31. and asked him whose skeleton that was, and whether, from its whiteness, he should not think it a white’s

      What logic is this? All of our skeletons look the same

    32. where the deponent was

      Where Benito was!

    33. Notary Public of the Holy Crusade of this Bishopric

      Not surprised that this is coming from a crusade

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

      Again - what is this saying about being American?

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

      This is...weird

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

      I know you're nice but just leave lol, it's okay to be rude if you don't feel good about a situation

    37. “I cannot go,” was the response.

      I bet he literally can't leave

    38. The Bachelor’s Delight

      Rip, he would've loved bachelor's parties

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

      Suspicious and like he accidentally figured something out and they're trying to cover for it...

    40. Marking the servant still above

      "Above" possibly in a not-so literal way too (above in position/actually in charge)

    41. He went to see.

      The pacing of this being placed so separate feels ominous.

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

      Babo seems pretty in charge here!

    43. But he is mistaken for once. I will get his ship in for him, and prove it.

      This doesn't sound like the best idea

    44. But while this was being done, the American observed that, though his original offer of assistance

      What is this trying to say about being American? I feel like it's relating being American to wanting to offer assistance/a friendly or kind attitude

    45. just then the razor drew blood, spots of which stained the creamy lather under the throat

      Foreshadowing :D

    46. the close sight of the gleaming steel, Don Benito nervously shuddered;

      Very Sweeney Todd vibes

    47. But if there be that in the negro which exempts him from the inflicted sourness of the morbid or cynical mind, how, in his most prepossessing aspects, must he appear to a benevolent one? When at ease with respect to exterior things, Captain Delano’s nature was not only benign, but familiarly and humorously so. At home, he had often taken rare satisfaction in sitting in his door, watching some free man of color at his work or play. If on a voyage he chanced to have a black sailor, invariably he was on chatty and half-gamesome terms with him. In fact, like most men of a good, blithe heart, Captain Delano took to negroes, not philanthropically, but genially, just as other men to Newfoundland dogs.

      The racism is strong in this one

    48. as though God had set the whole negro to some pleasant tune.

      I think maybe Melville should try seeing how he feels when how he talks about race gets flip flopped...

    49. Will master go into the cuddy?

      It's almost like they're bossing him around

    50. warped as a camel’s skeleton in the desert

      "warped as a camel's skeleton in the desert" is suchh good, spooky imagery. It has that sense of being foreign (to Americans, because we don't have camels over here unless I'm wrong), and has the reminder of death from the skeleton.

    1. This was because womenworkers were not simply paid less but also usuallykept in feminized job grades in the Civil Service,despite the government’s claims that the Servicewas a meritocracy

      Here it says women get paid less and that men have it different just cause they are men.

    2. the EMIDEC was capable of readingmore than 20,000 characters per second frommagnetic tape and printed out over 20 millionannual statements, reportedly working at the rateof 900 statements per minute

      Here Hicks describes a computation: The EMIDEC read characters from a tape and printed out statements according to them

    3. This was because womenworkers were not simply paid less but also usuallykept in feminized job grades in the Civil Service,despite the government’s claims that the Servicewas a meritocracy

      Here Hicks describes a social norm: Women get paid less in the work place and receive different job titles/grades than men do

    1. The hardest to reach and most vulnerable populations are the ones left suffering, after everyone else looks away.
    2. throw money at a problem — whether that's Ebola, Zika or COVID-19. Then, as fear ebbs, so does the attention and motivation to finish the task.
    3. The Great Imitator: It can look like any number of diseases.
    4. quadrupled: 1,870 babies were born with the disease; 128 died. Case counts from 2020
    5. With the introduction of penicillin, cases began to plummet. Twice, the CDC has announced efforts to wipe out the disease — once in the 1960s and again in 1999.
    6. 1938 passed the National Venereal Disease Control Act, which created grants for states to set up clinics and support testing and treatment. Other than a short-lived funding effort during World War I,
    7. double the case count of five years prior.
    8. relaxed safer sex practices after the advent of potent HIV combination therapies, increased methamphetamine use drove riskier behavior and an explosion of online dating made it hard to track and test sexual partners
    9. By 2013, as elimination seemed less and less viable, the CDC changed its focus to ending congenital syphilis only.
    10. States in the South and West have seen the highest syphilis rates in recent years.
    11. she feared catching the coronavirus and skipped prenatal care.
    12. The department also doesn't have anyone who can administer penicillin injections in the field;
    13. The decisions are often politically driven and can be detached from actual health needs.
    14. three weekly shots of penicillin at least 30 days before she gave birth, it was likely that the infection would be wiped out
    15. Then, there are the miscarriages, the stillbirths
    16. Belarus, Bermuda, Cuba, Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka are among countries recognized by the World Health Organization for eliminating congenital syphilis.
    17. 40% chance the baby would die.
    18. Six states have no prenatal screening requirement at all. Even in states that require three tests, public health officials say that many physicians aren't aware of the requirements.
    1. I answer that, Just as man needs bodily rest for the body's refreshment, because he cannot always be at work, since his power is finite and equal to a certain fixed amount of labor, so too is it with his soul, whose power is also finite and equal to a fixed amount of work. Consequently when he goes beyond his measure in a certain work, he is oppressed and becomes weary, and all the more since when the soul works, the body is at work likewise, in so far as the intellective soul employs forces that operate through bodily organs.

      This is like the old adage 'all work and no play.' People need to be able to reset their minds and games are apart of that.

    1. 19 Mentions

      It is very important to examine how many other sources have cited or mentioned this specific source to discover its credibility. Since there are 19 mentions of this source in other documents, it is likely that other academics have read and used this source, helping to show that this source has valuable and credible information. It would be good to look at the sources mentioning this source to determine exactly how credible it is because if more well-known and respected sources mention this source for the same reason you wish to mention or cite it, it is likely a great source for you to use.

    2. Priority must be given to developing a nationwide policy that allows for reinstatement of voting rights, as well as education of former offenders regarding restoration procedures.

      One of the authors of this source Terrance Ruth is a former school teacher and PHD graduate. His extensive education gives and number of degrees aligns with the point of view and opinion of this source. Due to the fact that he has received higher than average education, it would be logical to assume this affects his opinion and makes him more likely to promote higher education.

    1. knowledge and, just as important, form perceptions of where they fit in the social reality and cultural imagination of their new nation. Moreover, they learn about their new society not only from official lessons, tests, and field

      i can agree with this and how education and going to school will open you up to be more verbal as immigrants who come from different countries. It helps you learn the language to be able to communicate and learn culture. It's actually really fascinating to see how interested people can be with culture when they're open to hearing about others and not just with one mindset that they're better than others.

    2. Schooling is now powerfully associated with such ben-eficial developments as better health, smaller families, and greater eco-nomic security

      Schooling does open your eyes to reality. It does give you a different perception as to how choosing what you like as a career will give you a passion to want to push for more. It shows you the reality of how expensive everything is and how things just keep getting worse. Its not something we cant already see without going to school but it does show different outcomes to what jobs will help you get put of that dark hole. Today i see how the generations don't want to have kids because of how expensive things are if we could barely afford ourselves.

    3. Do boys and girls experience the migration journey differently?

      I would honestly say yes. Boys and girls experience the migration journey to their full capacity only because number 1 out parents did not have the resources we had growing up so when it comes down to us needing help they don't know how to help us. We learn how to grow up faster and develop ourselves faster because there is no one to speak up for us especially when it comes to language. I remember being in elementary and learning how to translate things to my parents from english to spanish in order for them to understand. So yes the journey is different.

    4. projected that by 2040, one in three children will be growing up in an im-migrant household.

      This new generation and the following generations will have a different outcome in life based on how everything has been. Its been hard and successful seeing the new generation of children who come from immigrant parents have gone to school and will be ablle to check off the box of bachelors or higher for their future of jobs and their future kids based on questions. Me myself who comes from immigrant parents and soon to be first generation to graduate, I would always check the box or fill in that my family had a high school degree or not even fully completed high school. Times are changing and we see the hard work and effort put in to want to make a change even if it does not include the success of education.

    5. immigration is once again a momentous social force, compelling Americans to face the challenge and opportunity of integrating and har-nessing the energy of the greatest number of immigrants in the nation's history.

      The significance of the social force to face reality has been a scary factor for immigrants. They're faced with opportunities to see if education or work is the way to go. I know immigrants look for the opportunity to work because of how much they escape the reality of what they're fleeing. The "American Dream" is pushed to believe that the outcome is education but once you live in a society where education is a luxury because of the life they lived.

    6. The Long View on Immigrant Students

      Dissecting the title of the Long View of immigrants to me long view means the out come or hard reality of a situation and here the immigrants. The education system for immigrants seems to fail depending on the society and area you live in. Sometimes the accommodation is not always what it seems and immigrants look for a outcome of success.

    7. Why do some students learn English more efficiently than others?

      I ask myself the same question every day, I feel like my English is not very good and although I know other students who are still struggling to be able to speak well, I wonder what they do to learn English in a short time? Are there different resources in their schools that help them with their learning? I wish I could know.

    8. Clearly, if we are to expect newcomer students to learn English, as they and we would like them to, our schools need to do a better job of develop-ing educational contexts that will make it happen.

      I fully agree that this process of learning a new language is part of being able to adapt to a new country and new friends, and I consider it the school's job to provide the necessary resources so that students can easily learn a second language and function in society, and also succeed in their education.

    9. It is in schools where, day in and day out, immigrant youth come to know teach-ers and peers from the majority culture

      I feel like this is the most important part of being an immigrant student, the time it takes to acclimate to other students and get used to the culture we know and being a part of. I relate to this quote because I went through this situation and it wasn't that long ago, it was 7 years ago.

    1. Brennan Center

      According to the Brennan Center of Justice's mission page, it is an advocate of nonpartisan laws. This means that they try to remain unbiased in the policies they push and try to do things that are better for everyone as a whole, rather than one group. This proves that anything they publish likely is also non partisan and has little bias, ensuring author credibility.

    2. d Senate Bill 7066 into

      I believe laws like this are such a touchy subject. Many individuals have different opinions on this topic. In order to have a full opinion on this, I believe it is important to do other research to completely understand. I think pay-to-vote limits many voter's capabilities. Paying to vote discriminates against individuals who do not have the financial means to do so. This is very exclusive. This part of the article really stuck out to me. This article can be verified through the links provided below that showed where this information was coming from.

    3. NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and ACLU created a resource for lawyers and advocacy groups to help return­ing citizens determ­ine if they are eligible to vote.

      Although this source was created in 2019, it was updated and recent information from 2020 up until 2022 was added. Readers can now have more present information, and are up to date on a new crucial resource (the NAACP Legal defense fund and ACLU lawyer help for potential voters). This shows the importance of updating research and keeping sources relevant to present-day when it is applicable.

    1. Some, after building up speed with a run, facing sideways and their feet placed apart, slide along for a long distance. Others make seats for themselves out of ice-slabs almost as large as millstones, and are dragged along by several others who hold their hands and run in front.

      I really like this section because it not only highlights a casual version of gaming vs. a more intense version, but the way they play with each other is exactly how people play now.

    2. young men not yet invested with knighthood. Each is consumed by a hope for a victory. The fierce horses whinny, "their limbs tremble; they champ the bit; impatient of delay they cannot stand still"[see notes]. When finally "the hoof of trampling steed careers along", the young horsemen

      This line seems to me that some young men used their games as a way of practicing for their future lives, such as impending knighthood.

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

      This confuses me sometimes while reading articles - media as in mass media vs. communication tools such as Instagram or smartphone. The contextual use of the word can be helpful, but the meanings seem to even overlap at times.

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

      This is very true. Media technology is always evolving in the digital world. It is getting more complicated and difficult to see all of it to understand it. Even a type of philosophy (Postphenomenology) is needed to understand it.

    3. The medium is the message’

      I didn't know this famous quote, but now it makes sense. - How information is delivered (like a YouTube vs. a newspaper) can be another message that influences how we understand the message. So it is important to choose what kind of media to use when delivering information.

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

      Media ecology sees how different media impact our lives. Just like ecosystems in biology, the different media are connected and influenced by each other and change how we act, think, and communicate.

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

      More than 10 hours a day! This makes me think that we should set a screen time on our phones, not only for children. I agree that it is time to think about how we can consume media in a healthy way.

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

      #mindless media concept!

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

      I resonate a lot with this quote. I try and make intentional choices to be present in my everyday life and surroundings. I hate being at a restaurant where everyone is on their phones. My friends and I often put our phones in a pile in the middle of the table to "unplug" and be present in the moment. We frequently find the best times are when no technology or media is involved!

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

      This makes a lot of sense. Most forms of social media are permanent- people could have screenshots, old videos could resurface, or people could always associate you with a specific thing. However, I would not consider the radio to be a permanent platform. With this, it is important to analyze where you are posting, how you are posting, and how you are engaging with that medium.

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

      This sentence helps build my understanding of the term "media literacy" as more than just what we engage in, it includes how we engage with it.

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

      The idea of "located within a specific time" related to media technologies caught my eye. I can relate to this in that I have unofficial "designated" times when I can scroll on social media like Instagram and TikTok, almost like a brain break. For example, before I go to bed, I associate this with "scroll time."

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

      #mindlessmedia trend once again!

    12. the digital detox movement

      This is what I was talking about prior. My district is moving in the direction of detoxing students from their cell phones, I would imagine eventually moving to no phones at all during the school day.

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

      This is becoming a concern in my district. Administration is sharing a book to parents that touches on how this generation is riddled with anxiety and depression due to the constant access of their phones.

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

      We have become so reliant on these technologies that they are essentially a piece of us now. Nobody can go anywhere without their phone

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

      We have a constant access to communication

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

      Everything you do and everywhere you go nowadays is saturated by media. It's everywhere

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

      Like all new, innovative, revolutionary technologies, the prevailing opinion is "this is here to stay. How can we harness it instead of fight against it?" Media is a part of our lives now, so understanding and utilizing it is a goal we must work to achieve at some point.

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

      As we have seen with literacy in earlier classes, the words we choose must be carefully crafted for our intended meaning to be drawn out. We must consider not only the words themselves, but the medium they are being presented, as well as the possible interpretations from perspectives different from ours.

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

      I feel this is too important and likely a reason why it may be difficult to study human behavior in media technologies. We are much more than simply humans interacting on a website. What may be concluded easily through a more straightforward experiment cannot be done so through something like this. The intricacies of the human themselves can add a lot to their actions, not just the technology itself.

    20. the digital detox movement

      I have heard of this. It may also go by a more general name "dopamine detox." The goal is to reset your dopamine receptors through an either brief or extended recess from digital media, and I believe it does have merit in certain contexts, especially if you notice your concentration levels are significantly warped.

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

      I think education does not necessarily have to equate to endorsement. I still firmly believe much of the internet is just not suited for children or even teenagers. That said, screen time is an inevitability in our world, so dedicating time to thoughtful, intentional time in media technologies is important, especially if they can be done in environments where learning and reflection can occur.

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

      We have a professional skills course in our school where students spend dedicated class periods learning to write professional emails, and this comment reminded me of it. Actually practicing the skill is important!

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

      I would argue that this allows us to communicate whatever the mood strikes as well. Even ignoring anonymity entirely, the strengthened confidence we attain when our words are thrown into an information superhighway and not another human being right in front of us most certainly impacts what we have to say, whether for better or for worse.

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

      There is what we theorize will occur in media technologies, and then there is what will actually happen. Not that there is no place for skill-building or theoretical analysis, but to say the internet has surprised us again and again would be an understatement of great magnitude. Being immersed in and learning from practical experiences in media technologies is important.

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

      We are in a world of technology and digital media that is now our norm! We have such easy access to knowledge and information ranging from the best restaurants near us, to historical facts about the place we are standing in that moment. However, no matter how culturally "normally" this has become, users need to be aware of the creators of such applications on digital devices, their intentions, and influences on us.

    1. The Junkers 87 “Stuka” dive-bomber used in blitzkrieg operations over Poland, September–October 1939.

      The Blitzkrieg were german jets that also conquered france in 1940

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

      I wonder if America would never have joined the war if Japan never attacked Pearl Harbor.

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

      Hitler was the one who broke their alliance with the soviet union and it later came back to stab him in the back.

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

      This makes me wonder if the attack on Pearl Harbor led to the mistreatment and hatred towards Japanese Americans.

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

      Dropping a strong alliance was probably a bad decision.

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

      This framework allows for a way to critically examine online privacy through the EU’s GDPR framework using the CIDER method, encouraging an inclusive perspective on user assumptions and biases. By engaging in each step of the method, people can develop a deeper understanding of privacy law implications and the diverse needs of digital users.

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

      This passage talks about and highlights the risks and challenges of data security on social media platforms, where even big companies fail to protect users information. It emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility, such as enabling two-factor authentication, to help mitigate risks of potential data breaches and hacking attacks.

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

      I feel like this might happen more naturally in Special Education because we spend a lot of time understanding the evaluation process, communicating with parents, managing student behavior and so on. Yay, sped!

    1. A coach as a classroom supporter

      I have only ever had one mentor actually co-teach with me, and I remember it so clearly. I also use the exact method he used in that moment very often. It is such a powerful technique. I am looking forward to doing this with my mentee. I am also quite nervous about it!

    1. It is all of one pattern.

      He kind of summarizes the events leading up to the declaration of war and the other countries doings. This is something that would not have to be done with congress because they would've been well informed of the tensions going on in the east.

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

      His tone here is not respectful like the other speech. By painting the Japanese as gangsters, he can convey the message to the people that they should deserve the respect that other people should have.

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

      Here, he is talking about accepting the challenge and not having to live in fear, implying they will begin a war with Japan. The other speech focuses on the events of that day, the loss of life, and the horrible betrayal carried out.

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

      Here his tone is not respectful like the December 8th, 1941 speech. He expresses more anger and sadness for the lost lives. He refers to them as resourceful gangsters showing all loss of respect for them.

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

      Roosvelt promotes unity in the American people, in order to keep standing strong.

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

      Compared to the address to congress, the opening to the Fireside chat seems to be different in tone, as it uses fervont and informal vocabulary to the more grim and formal tone of the address.

    1. Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

      Again, his terminology when addressing congress is formal, with the idea to send a serious message that could change the US

    2. Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy

      His manner of speech here emphasizes the importance of what he his addressing

    3. With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

      Both passages end with some sort of mention of God, and how he will be with them.

    4. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

      Roosvelt uses repetition to show the various actions Japan has done that has affected the US, it is blatant call to action.

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

      Thia shows the severity of the situations that the Japanese had started.

    1. Porites porites (Poritidae

      Also known as finger or hump coral. They have fused branches with round tips found in similar places at A. cervicornis including the Bahamas. It is seen as "least concern".

    1. Green infrastructure plays an important role in both mitigating climate change and also adapting to changing climatic conditions and events, and any assessment of how climate change will affect health must include the alterations that humans make to the landscape

      The sentence underscores the dual role of GI in public health and environmental management, emphasizing the need to consider human-induced landscape changes when evaluating health impacts related to climate change. Investing in GI not only promotes public health by reducing disease risk but also provides ecological benefits, such as enhanced biodiversity and improved air quality, showcasing the multifaceted benefits of such initiatives

    2. Hunting and sale of wild animals, or bushmeat, is an important source of income and protein for many rural communities in the tropics, with estimates exceeding five million tons of meat extracted annually

      The socio-economic aspects of zoonotic disease transmission, illustrating how cultural practices and livelihoods can contribute to increased human contact with potential disease reservoirs. The bushmeat trade has been linked to several zoonotic outbreaks, including Ebola, promoting discussion on sustainable alternatives that balance economic needs and health safety.

    3. Infectious disease ecology is a rapidly evolving field focused on understanding how hosts, pathogens, vectors, and their environment evolve, respond, and interact with one another in ways that influence the spread of disease

      This establishes the core focus of infectious disease ecology, highlighting its dynamic nature and the interplay among various biological and environmental factors that contribute to disease transmission. This field has gained increased attention due to the rise of emerging infectious diseases, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary research in predicting and controlling outbreaks

    1. Communicating Our Attention

      Attending fully and decreasing our blocks to understanding are so important. You can really feel when these things are happening, or when they are not happening. So powerful to think about. One of the things that is happening for me is the need to have really strong boundaries with some of the members of my team, because they have a tendency to undermine and exhaust me. Its such an interesting dance to work with being open and attending, and also needing to not get manipulated by others' negativity.

    1. phototaxic

      definition: the movement of animals in response to light. Positive phototaxic is towards the light and negative phototaxic is moving away from the light.

    2. Urban expansion and associated increases in ALAN

      As of 2023, urbanization in New Zealand was at 86.98%. very similar to past years, meaning there has been no break in growth for the biological environment to keep up.

Truman e “We do survive every moment, after all, except the last one.” —John Updike e “It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.” —Lou Holtz

      I am going to add some of these to my PLC slides for our meeting this week. I love this idea.

    2. dditionally, share personal reflections and anecdotes from your own first years as a teacher to help the mentee feel a sense of camaraderie.

      My mentee seems to visibly relax when I do this.

    3. rom feelings of exhaustion, isolation, and self-doubt to feelings of stress surrounding the over- whelming number of practical tasks an

      I feel like all of the teachers in my department are feeling this way. There isn't a single person who hasn't cried with me, or said they wanted to quit since August.

    1. People have believed in basilisks since ancient times. “Basiliskos”, the Greek word for “little king”, referred to the king of serpents.

      Animalia seems to be a piece of a collection that every culture all over the world would have their own version of. Most cultures create stories and art about animals in their region. For example, Mesoamericans would have created artifacts of animals that live in the jungles of central America like snakes, or jaguars. And i a European cabinet of curiosity from this time period, it may not have been uncommon to find a Mesoamerican artifact of the animalia kind. This could have been brought over during the trans-Atlantic trade between the Americas and Europe. Or it could have simply been acquired by an explorer or conqueror.

      The picture of this "basiliskos" seems as though it is exotic. However, by the way that this piece is persevered, we can infer that at one point this animal was alive. But we can not be too sure as to what it was. We can only assume that it is maybe a serpent-like creature.

    1. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all                Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”

      Could he be reiterating the structure of the poem in these lines? Beauty - lust truth - god and sprituality truth and beauty - love and lust in old age in the final stanza

    2. old Pastoral!

      Associated with either: 1. attending to livestock OR 2. being spiritual(notice pastor in the word)

    3. When old age shall this generation waste,

      You can still love when you are alive even if it is not young and lustfull.

      **What is the affect of bordering a poem filled with symbols of spirituality and religion with sexuality and lust? **

    4. O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede         Of marble men and maidens overwrought,With forest branches and the trodden weed;

      Attic - Athenian Marble men - statues of gods and important people in ancient times Forest branches and the trodden weed - vases and urns played a large part of story telling in ancient times. This could suggest that the story of ones life was entirely lived in the forest.

      Notes on Nymphs in Greek mythology: The Meliai (Meliae) were nymphs of the ash-trees. They were born when Gaia (Gaea, the Earth) was impregnated by the blood of the castrated Ouranos (Uranus, the Sky). They were wed by the men of the Silver Age--in the time before the first woman was created--and from them mankind was descended.

    5. Why thou art desolate, can e’er return.

      Context for sacrificing of a Heifer in Deuteronomy from

      The Book of Deuteronomy explains how a heifer is to be sacrificed in atonement for innocent blood whenever a human being is found lying dead in the countryside and nobody knows how they have died (21:1-9)

      Could this suggest that she who died with the urn was left to die alone in the forest? Is that the true story that the reader of this story is after?

    6. silken flanks with garlands drest

      Even the cow is preserved as beautiful in her death: **What sacrifice did the urn die for? **

    7. green altar,

      From informational Christian website .-,GREEN,into%20the%20life%20of%20God.)

      Green is a sign of life in nature and as such it represents growth, life and hope. Green is the colour worn most often during liturgies in Ordinary Time. It symbolises the graces that draw people into the life of God. Most of the Church's year is Ordinary Time.

      **What does placing these scene during "ordinary time" suggest? **

    8. For ever piping songs for ever new

      "nor ever bid the Spring adieu?" These lines offer that the character is in a constant state of revival; does Keats call upon Spring in reference to Easter. Perhaps with this scenery he suggests that even those who died are constantly born again, eve if they are stuck being thought of differently forever.

    9. do not grieve;       She cannot fade

      Here, Keats argues that there is nothing to truly be sad about, as she cannot ever really leave since she is preserved in her death.

      *Does Keats begin this as a poem of lust to suggest hopeless and unrequited passion to the point of wishing death for the sake of preservation? Or does he start with that passion as a distraction before offering a sobering recount of grieving someone who has really died? *

    10. In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?

      (From Oxford English Dictionary) "In Tempe" The proper name of a charming valley in Thessaly, watered by the Peneus, between Mounts Olympus and Ossa; used (already by the Roman writers) as a general name for a beautiful valley; hence for any delightful rural spot.

      dales - a valley

      Arcady - poetic version of Arcadia/home of hermes and Pan/rustic historic village

    12. What wild ecstasy?

      Once again begins and ends with sexual imagery.

      Question: How does beginning the first stanza with "unravish'd" and ending with "wild ecstasy" set the tone for the poem? Furthermore, how does historic imagery of peaceful isolation further or weaken this tone?

    13. unravish’d bride

      begins the subtle themes of lust/sex/purity throughout the poem. note the difference between reading this as "unravished bride of quietness" vs. "bride of unravished quietness"

      This is the most important quality in ANY teacher.

    1. unnoticed for extended periods, particularly when the intruders are small-bodied species with limited commercial value, and monitoring programs are lacking

      Perhaps the local governments would work with their Fish and Wildlife communities to make more surveying jobs to monitor these less "notable" locations to avoid ignoring a possible invasive outbreak.

    2. proliferation

      Definition: rapid increase in numbers or the rapid reproduction of a cell, part, or organism.

    1. In a study conducted by Simon Veenman (1984), more than one thousand preservice teachers ranked their concerns before entering the classroom

      This is interesting. My Student teacher shared that he is very worried about understanding the curriculum, but everything else he worried about was personal stuff outside of school, like his living situation. There seems to be a lot outside of school that we are also all carrying. I hope to learn about how to support that aspect as well.

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

      I don't think I will need to CREATE any challenges as they are already to prevalent in my school.

    1. Blue arrow shows the upper winds that travel from the west to the east or northeast. Winds travel from the mid-west to the northeast. In addition, a copper-nickel smelter in Sudbury, Ontario, just north of Lake Huron is the most significant sulfur oxide source in Canada. The winds may also carry the sulfur oxide clouds to the Northeast in the U.S. where it may be converted to acid rain.

      Interesting how acid rain transportation travels long distances through wind and eventually break down as acid precipitation. Though it leads to cross-border environmental damage, it proves to not only be a local issue but a regional and international concern that requires environmental policies and regulations to mitigate its widespread ecological and economic effects.

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

      This is my biggest frustration as a student because many apps advertise as "free" but most of the features require a premium subscription. As a college student, this is not ideal and the amount of required personal information does not seem safe.

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

      Just shows the significant focal points of combating acid rain due the large-scale emissions of pollutants that cause our environmental issues.

    1. The pH levels in Little Moose lake are normally about 7.0. During the snow melting, in early March, the lake pH dropped to 6.0. An outlet stream from the lake reached a low pH of 4.8. A small brook nearby hit a low pH of 4.6 during the snow melt period. The average pH in this brook during the rest of the year is about 5.4.

      The fact that the pH levels just continued to decrease but in a dramatic way. Especially how it effected the aluminum concentrations.

    1. Over the last several years, research on undocumented immigrant stu-dents has explored the tensions produced by integrated school lives and legal exclusions

      I like that even though immigrants have been looked down upon for a long time, there is a lot of research today that is trying to bring about change and make life easier for immigrant children so that they feel part of school. With the help of interventions that many studies can determine, new resources can be found and the voices of many are heard.

    2. I defi nitely felt like I belonged. School was what they call a home away from home for me. I really felt their support. I always did well in my classes and I always felt like my teachers were there for me. It was com-fortable, you know. Like, supportive. I know this is not the experience of a lot of other students, but I really credit my teachers for all of their help and assistance.

      Jacob was very lucky because he was able to find the support that many students don't find at school. Jacob found school to be a second home and he feels supported and has the support of his teachers, and I imagine also from other classmates.

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

      Having that support from family or people close to me was always a great help in moving forward. Flor did not have that support and it makes me very sad to know that there are possibly students at the UCI who are struggling without family support, or without that phrase “you can do it, I believe in you.” That phrase is worth a lot because emotionally and psychologically it has helped me believe in myself.

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

      Think about this

    2. ‘swarming with human life’ (C, 73), threaten his sanity. The overabundance of organic growth, such as that represented by a forest, was a familiar theme in gothic imagery, as the immense and unknowable power that produced it became an object of sublime terror.

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

      the fact that revolution and instability repeated in the history causing a public and private anxiety, and causing the repetition evoking further anxiety and uncontrollability like a prophecy? terror evoking loop?

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

      Sublime in Burke's aesthetics was based on the terror that the object of observance evoked in the eyes of the observer.

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

      This still happens in current life. people with disability are asked to follow the rules of society, or they cannot live well. Although people purposely treat them differently and carefully, this is another type of discrimination. We should not expect and ask what they need to learn or do. Disability convenience should be a common thing.

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

      This is a clearer and better definition of disability. When we think of disability, we always think about deaf, mute, blind, armless, and those common disability. The definition could be a kind of stereotype. People who have instinctive features or skills that are beyond the ordinary would not be defined or categorized as having a disability

    7. ‘I feel confident that I cankeep my child busy with activities that do not include exposure toTV’ compared with parents from a higher household income orhigher education level.16 Thus, there is disparity between the realityof ‘screen culture’ and reducing screen usage as a health policy

      This is interesting, I feel as there the social level aspect of this has often been ignored at least in my opinion.

    8. one study ofmothers confirmed that TV viewing by their children was usefulin accomplishing household tasks, while another study foundthat parents commonly utilised mobile media to occupy theirchildren when eating out.14

      Again, the convivence factor plays in.

    9. Indeed, approximately 90% ofparents appear to ignore the AAP’s advice

      It does seem as though the level of stasis is past definition, everyone knows and are aware that giving infants screens is not healthy, however it is convenient.

    10. Abstract

      Abstract opens with known knowledge that technology has been growing and there's been more usage, this pushes past the first two steps of stasis, fact and definition. It then says how the review will expand over the effect of screen time showing that this article speaks mostly over quality and policy.

    1. It honestly sucks that in 2024 there’s not a good way to support creators with small donations. The “one a month” model is great from a human perspective but financially it’s quite awful: a 1 USD donation, after fees and taxes, becomes more like a 0.60 USD donation but it is what it is. I’m still grateful to the 86 people who are currently supporting what I'm doing here.

      What are better ways to support creators?

    1. PMI matrix is found to be closely approximated by a low rank matrix

      In higher dimensions, PMI faces the following challenges 1. Curse of Dimensionality: As the dimensionality increases, the data points become more sparse, i.e. data points are generally far apart, making co-occurrence statistics less reliable. PMI relies heavily on meaningful co-occurrence counts, which become sparse and noisy in high-dimensional spaces, leading to instability in the calculated PMI values.

    1. Suddenly everyone, ceasing their talk, sat in a row around him, watched they did not so much hear, or pay attention, they wondered, looked at each other, smirked, but listened, he repeated and repeated, could not go beyond his thought “The pool    the kingfishers’ feathers were wealth    why did the export stop?”
