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.

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

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? *

(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.

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?

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

"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.

I'm not sure if pumpkins were related to spookiness/fall/Halloween at the time this was written, but it would be a fun bit of imagery to use if it was!

Interesting use of the word republican here!

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.

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.

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

We have a constant access to communication

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

As a participate of the media, you should be able to take steps to analyze everyday media and understand how it can influence our social environments and our minds.

I agree; we often overlook the effects of media on our daily lives and how we consume and analyze it during our downtime.

Media has become a staple to our existence in the complex world we live in.

The research supports a posthuman approach to educating students when utilizing sources of media.

The research is studied to better understand the effects media has on the large variety of population that it interacts with.

The use of language can drastically change interpretation of an audience, for better or worse.

The impact of technology goes beyond what our minds recognize. This is why the research is important, to discover the technological impact.

We, as humans, are driven and guided by relations and experience which defines intrasubjective mediation.

The post-humanist approach exceeds the limitations that define the less desirable parts of humans.

Media has a tremendous impact on society and the research is important to produce guidelines on how these technologies should be utilized.

To best understand technology it works beyond how it operates and all levels of how it operates must be considered.

It is imperative that when using sources of media to understand social and cultural factors and not just isolate your thinking.

I like the comparison here as it explains how interpreting media is a skill similar to literacy. In order to effectively use media, it is a skill that requires practice similar to print literacy.

The four components listed cumulatively sum up media literacy. Teaching students the skills will aid there success in the technology driven world we live in.

The image really does a great job of highlighting the prevalence of media today and emphasizes the quote by depicting what "disappearing into the background of our awareness looks like.

This quote emphasizes the importance to acknowledge all aspects of media literacies, such as how it impacts the user and messages.

Viewers and participants of daily media should have mastered the skills to analyze and detect misinformation in media. It is imperative especially with the rise in technology.

This was an aha moment I had when creating a Tik Tok about my medialiteracy journal. I was able to apply my research and what I learned about analyzing the community to create my own content.

Smartphones and the applications we use open up a whole new world of engagement, but they can also alienate those closest to us if they're not included in that experience. This creates a "wall" that separates us from our everyday surroundings and relationships.

Evolving access of communication within the second decade.

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

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

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

?

?

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

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

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

Dropping a strong alliance was probably a bad decision.

the war included industrialized genocide and unleashed the most destructive technology ever used in war. the global economic crisis gave way to a global war that became the deadliest and the most destructive in human history. when it ended, the United States stood alone as the world's superpower. The European war began in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland after signing non aggression treaty with the Soviet union defining the Baltic states as russian sphere of influnce and then annexing poland.

despite the US as a nation being way younger than the other countries involved, they became a super power and I am confused as to how specifically they rose to the top.

I find it interesting how much the US didn't like what was going on in the east, but never fully stepped in until later, when the damage from the Japanese had been enormous

I find this strategy was very smart from the point of subduing the British, however I find that British moral never broke even more interesting. It was a unique and brutal strategy from the Germans that seemed to not work.

I had always thought that Hitler felt the need to put the blame on a group of people for the fall of Germany during world war one and the state of Germany after the war.

The attack by Japan upon the U.S. naval base in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, in a surprise attack, destroyed the isolationism policy of America and turned out to be one of the pivotal points in U.S. history. In its aftermath, President Franklin Roosevelt labeled the day as "a date which will live in infamy" and, within hours, asked for a declaration of war, which Congress granted.

After the sudden defeat of Poland, France, along with its British allies, started preparing for the expected attack by the Germans. In May 1940, Hitler began his campaign against Western Europe by invading the Netherlands and Belgium, hoping to bypass the highly fortified line of defense known as the Maginot Line that protected the border between France and Germany. .

On July 7, 1937, Japan completely invaded China and defeated the Chinese National Revolutionary Army decisively under the command of Chiang Kai-shek. The rapid Japanese gains made the loss of major cities like Beijing on August 8, Shanghai on November 26, and the capital of China, Nanjing, on December 13 inevitable.

Adolph Hitler came to power through his vocal, shrill, loud denunciations of the Treaty of Versailles and how that treaty had served as an injustice to Germany. By 1932, the Nazis had gained the status of largest party in the Reichstag, reflecting widespread support amid the political instability of the Weimar Republic.

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

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.

The sudden criminal attacks perpetrated by the Japanese in the pacific provide the climax of decade of international immorality. Their challenge has now been flung at the United States of America. The course that Japan has followed for the past ten years in Asia has paralleled the course of Hittler and Mussolini in Europe and Africa.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

As the article begins to conclude, it summarizes some findings and gives ways to limit adverse technological affects wrapping up the level of stasis to policy.

So far it seems as though children can have technology, however, it must be heavily monitored.

Overall this pieces reported summarized findings of how screens affect the lives of children throughout all the different aspects: to sleep, and to eating.

Speaks over the studies of exercise and screen usage. Level of Stasis: Definition

I feel like there's a pretty huge difference in physical and mental health

Introduction gives an over view of the researched based statistics of different aspect of children using technology.

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

Again, the convivence factor plays in.

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.

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.

What are better ways to support creators?

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.

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.

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.

Draupadi unusual birth from the fire show that she is not like other women. She has divine origin that set her apart and give her a unique purpose. That emphasize the idea about destiny and purity in a religious sense like she was created for something greater. Also, the description of her as earthy makes her feel relatable by showing that she is strong just like a regular person.

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.

This section sheds light on the model - it is like the missing motivation. It helps by considering the model in the context of an experiment.

Not clear where this analysis comes from. Kernel suggest a gaussian process

The Bayesian tradition includes writing the equations of the model one on top of the other and explaining the parameters latent variables etc.

isotropy is motivated by need in integration.

holds empirically (

the Isotropy assumptions simplifies integration but seems to fit with experiment

This need further consideration.

There are different hypothesis for the existence of the "power law" and some of them my not fit with this isotropy.

since there is an inner product of v_twith c_t in R^d the word vectors must all have length d so they have the same length ?

the model is a random walk with t being the word and the RV being a random vector called a discourse vector of dimension d. This vector is a distributed representation of the semantics at word t.

what is the discourse - is it one hot encoded, is it orthogonal, is it sparse, is it disentangled, is it compositional ? What is a small change in a single dimension???

What is a slow/quick random walk ? How many steps are allowed and in how many dimensions?

A bigger point is that the meaning of words dont seem to follow this model ? Adjacent words in a sentence can have dramatically different semantics. I.E. despite Firth - only a few words are strongly related. The majority are not.

we need a second equation for the change in c_t - what is small here ?

Important point

but how often can we have big jumps without effecting the word bigram probabilities? Much of english is words like The and it which don't have semantic content.

also is the correlation short term of long term

err I recall that that model of options doen't have 2000 dimensions - typicaly just one latent variable - the value of the underlaying stock at some future date and the value is real number. But the semantics are spread over a high dim space and far from real valued. So AFAIKS this is stretching the analogy too far.

Doesn't that paper uses a modified model and not the same model? If this paper a prior or a posterior of that paper :-)

What assumptions are the prior encoding here?

how are the different dynamics expected to create better dynamics (which of gaussian or log linear aggregation more realistic?)

Topics are statistical aggregates over a window or some collective and so it makes sense to model them as slowly changing. However Topics are likely also subject to significant change at say pragraph and sentence boundries and the small changes are likely an artifact of the sampling rather then of the generating process. Also text can belong to multiple topics. Words on the other hand should not be modeled as having multiple meanings.

This comment highlights the gap in the theoretical understanding of why the PMI matrix exhibits an approximately low rank. It raises the question of whether this low-rank property could be formally proven or if it is purely an empirical observation.

this section has a kind of rhythmic flow that the beginning of the poem feels like its trying to find

I wonder if focusing on only these elements could limit creativity by constraining us to predefined categories. Could we potentially miss out on ideas that don’t fit neatly within the 5W's and H?

Using predetermined images to spark creativity by having individuals generate ideas based on the images is an approach as it fosters unconventional thinking processes. Visual cues have the ability to stimulate connections and concepts that might not arise in brainstorming sessions. This strategy can help overcome biases by enabling participants to approach challenges, with outlooks. It proves beneficial when addressing abstract issues that may restrict initial idea generation.

They're looking at what others online are listed for (and not what they've actually sold for) to set their price. They probably have no idea what the typewriter market is like and what the value of their machine really is based on a variety of factors including make/model, condition, servicing, extras, typeface. Unless their machine has an exceptionally rare typeface (usually adds $80-150) or has a brand new rubber (usually adds 30-40 for new feet) or a new platen ($100-180), then in its current condition it's probably not worth more than $50.

Once you get it, you're going to want to have it cleaned, oiled, and adjusted which will run you several hours of labor and materials at a repair shop at $50-75 per hour. It may also need one or two replacement parts.

If talking to them about the price doesn't bring it down significantly then you should pass on it. If you're not up to cleaning, adjusting, oiling a machine yourself, your best bet is to purchase something from a repair shop that already is. You'll have a far better experience. https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html

For comparison here's some similar machines professionally cleaned, serviced, with new ribbons and a 3 month warranty from $240-350 with some of the price depending on particular model and desirability of color. https://reeselectronics.com/search.php?search_query=smith+corona+silent&x=0&y=0

If you've got money to burn then maybe it's worth $180 to you, but if that's the case then get something in much nicer condition from a repair shop.

idea of an encounter with the body suggests an a priori separation of body and (mind? spirit?). also think about Knight's point that an encounter in Barthes is almost always sexual -- almost a sexual encounter with onseself

which itself suggests the almost mystical, magical status of the body

The act of freeing slaves by there owner.

It's intriguing that no matter the year, time, bad, good or maybe not a believer of god, we tend to pray. No matter people always got to look up to a higher power. No matter what happened to her she stayed strong. She didn't even wish the people who did this bad days. Her heart was stronger than metal.

This is something that is Ludacris to me .She petition the court for her freedom, and got denied. I can't get passed the fact how people can be so cruel. She got pushed back to the end of the line like when people cut in line. I can't imagine how hard her life was.

The Great Western Schism was a rift dividing the papacy, each claiming to be the legitimate power. I can't imagine having several different divisions of the papacy. Now I believe the Pope has absolute power in the church.

There was shock due to these events. Economically their wasn't a whole lot of change. The Turks recieved vast amounts of wealth, from trade, politics and Their Navy.

I believe that a good diet is the key to a good life. I read somewhere that many people had bread for a mainstay. That's pretty unhealthy and fattening. It's a great thing that food was more atainable and the health of a pregnant female was able to have healthy children.

The Black Death had many effects on the people and the land. Town and people disappeared. One good thing that happened was the land and the soil were able to rest and replinish itself.

Hi Collin, I really enjoyed your projects concept; however, your project needs significant technical improvements to function properly. Focus first on fixing the HTML structure and closing tags, then work on organizing your CSS more efficiently.

I think this is an incredibly underrated strategy to show you're engagement towards the presenter. It's something that most don't think to do but I believe it's meaningful. In the back of the presenters mind (especially in a virtual scenario), they know that there is always going to be a handful of people that are not engaged. So by showing the speaker that they have your full intention, you are simultaneously improving the quality of their presentation. In turn, that individual will likely become a more confident speaker in the future.

I wonder what Thomas Aquinas had in mind here specifically. Was he thinking of violent games leading to injury, or of games leading to taunting and argument, or of gambling?

It seems that Thomas Aquinas's overall position is that games and play can play a positive role as an opportunity for rest from work and serious obligations when done in moderation, but that they can become problematic when done excessively and when prioritized over work, personal morals, and religion. Aquinas reaches this conclusion using theological arguments, and the purpose of this text seems to be to provide a theological perspective on games and play. This differs significantly from Isidore of Seville's writings on games which present information and opinion as fact rather than as debate/discussion (Cambridge University Press 371), and from FitzStephens writings on games and play, which approach the topic much more from a description of the mostly-positive ways in which he observed them in day-to-day life in Medieval London (FitzStephens, 1170s/1860).

Although in context, this line seems to mean something to the effect of, "we were all young once", the use of the word "boys" does imply that FitzStephen was intending to write to a male audience. That does give a sense that gender roles were present in Medieval London, and that both physical play and scholarly reading were possibly considered to be activities for boys and men. It's interesting because although it's maybe not quite this explicit, gender does play a role in the way in which sports today are perceived as well.

It's interesting how this section on ball games focuses on the joy, passion, and sense of community brought by ball games, while in The Etymologies of Isadore of Seville, the focus is much more on the rules and mechanisms of the ball games themselves rather than the ways in which they fit into day-to-day life (Cambridge University Press 371).

I found this section to be really interesting. I love the comparison of debate to wrestling, a very physical sport. This way of viewing debate as falling into a similar category of activity to physical sports seems similar to me to the way debate is viewed as an activity today. It's interesting, too, how despite it encouraging a similar competitiveness to physical sports which were not always viewed positively (Milliman 609), debate here is shown as an activity very much encouraged by schools and by churches.

I was shocked by the fact that ID is not mandatory in US. This is so horrible. And mailing your vote - OMG, hilarious...

In Ukraine we have special people going with closed buckets from home to home if you have something going on with health, but no mailing!!

Cementum lines are growth rings in the teeth of animals, similar to tree rings, which help estimate the animal’s age by reflecting periods of growth and dormancy.

Habitat heterogeneity describes the variety and complexity of environmental features within a landscape. Diverse habitats can influence the risk of predation by providing areas that offer more or less protection for prey.

affect of video production itself, too

SEO speak and metadata slurry, too

Oh, so this is useful and interesting because I remember hearing about these when they were first proposed. Essentially, one of the problems even when infrastructure revert to public hands is that it's in crap shape and it's not clear whose job it is to pay to fix it up.

What knowledge, personal attributes or skills do you possess that you can offer to the benefit of this role/team?

I have experience working in the private sector (i.e. businesses), public sector (i.e. government) and civil society (i.e. organisations) which which has strengthened to speak different organisational language and build relationships.

Annotation 3: "Origin countries benefit most from labor migration when they make it an explicit part of their poverty reduction strategy... These benefits could be amplified by lowering the costs of sending remittances."

This section presents an epiphany about the role of structured migration in poverty reduction. Understanding that migration, when managed properly, can contribute to economic stability through remittances and knowledge transfer offers a new perspective. This insight encourages a rethinking of migration as a strategic tool for poverty reduction rather than just a social issue. This thought connects with the inquiry question by reframing migration as a structured development strategy with tangible, targeted benefits.

Annotation 2: "Climate change is compounding the economic drivers of migration. About 40 percent of the world’s population—3.5 billion people—live in places highly exposed to the impacts of climate change: water shortages, drought, heat stresses, sea level rise, and extreme events."

This passage raises questions about the specific ways climate change contributes to migration patterns. It invites inquiry into potential policies that could mitigate climate-related migration. A question might be, "What strategies could both origin and destination countries employ to address climate-driven migration effectively?" This aligns with the inquiry question by prompting further exploration into how environmental factors intersect with migration policy.

Annotation 1: "Migration has proved to be a powerful force for development, improving the lives of hundreds of millions of migrants, their families, and the societies in which they live across the world. But there are challenges as well—for migrants, their countries of origin, and their countries of destination."

This passage addresses one of the main ideas of the text: migration as both a beneficial and challenging force in global development. It connects to today's inquiry question by exploring the dual nature of migration’s impact—both as a driver of progress and a source of issues that require careful management. The author seems to convey the necessity of understanding both benefits and challenges to implement policies that maximize positive outcomes.

I don't understand how this is permitted. I feel like for people's data to be used by a company, they should at least have to recieve the benifit of using whatever service that company is provided.

I find this to be a very disturbing and ethically questionable buisiness model. The fact that these companies are explicitly made to make society less productive is something I find very concerning.
