Very important part of this fourth album -- uplifting of Women

More example of Beyoncé living up to her brand--the empowerment of Black people

Fourth album made by Beyoncé is another hit -- more money

Parkwood is a staple of Beyoncé's relationship with capitalism--she continues to build a brand, both in the name of profit and message building.

Everything, however, relates back to her authenticity

Interesting use of language from Beyonce. "Have my own empire" communicates something of a king/queen

Parkwood entertainment keeps the money flow within Beyonce's grasp--making all of her artistry a direct flow of income

BUSINESS EMPIRE -- LARGE EXAMPLE OF CAPITALISM. THIS THIS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

More of her authenticity that leads to great success

MONUMENTAL SONGS

SASHA FIERCE is a symbol of empowerment, overcoming struggle

Third album, I am... Sasha fierce, was a hit as well

Still backed by same intention to understand "Black Music History"

After release of B'Day album, ot debut as number 1, reception of four grammy nominations, and the grammy for best contemporary R&B Album, Beyonce stars as Deena Jones in Dreamgirls

Examples of more early on success -- backed by capitalism

Her main goal is to further black musical traditions

All markers of her early success--relates back to capitalism

Management = capitalism

Her parents were the igniters of this capitalistic mindset

Important background: born septmber 4th, 1981 in Houston, Texas to Tina and Mathew Knowles

BUSINESSWOMAN = capitalism

This is a key point in her artistry --despite it coexisting with capitalistic and consumeristic mindsets, it is not inherrintley inuathentic--still upholds a good message

Beyonce is a highly awarded woman. Ethos. Establishes her credibility. However, this is a key example of her music being oriented around capitalism. Although she is creating authentic art that is true to her, it is still in the name of making profit.

this shows how different types of writing follow different expectations. This makes it easier to follow the message in the writing.

This reminds me a lot of high school with how they taught us how to write essays. We followed a strict structure that made writing easier but less creative.

After reading the article "Selfies, Filters, and Snapchat Dysmorphia: How Photo-Editing Harms Body Image" by Anya Kamenetz, it confirms a lot of the things I already knew about social media with just observing others and also firsthand experiences. I think these apps are intentionally designed to prey upon younger people and their insecurities in order to exploit them and also sell them easy fixes that will cure all their insecurities.

This talks about the harm that Facebook causes on teenagers and how the numbers are higher than you would think. Basically how horrible medias algorithm can be.

I found source m4 interesting because I think it's easy to lose track of time when using social media. Sometimes I find myself scrolling for a long time and don't even remember most of the posts I looked at. I think this shows how social media can become a habit that we don't always notice. Ive tried implementing screen time reminders but they never really work because I always think to myself just 5 more minutes or just one more scroll and it is an unhealthy habit that im still trying to fix.

In this article, author talks about an experiment happened in the Facebook. A researcher in Facebook adjusted and investigated the posts people received and posted. He found that if people received posts with bad emotions. They would also send some posts with bad emotions. For this investigation, I would like to say it did not sent consent to the users. I have studied psychology at high school, and in psychology, researchers need to inform consent to the people they research. So, maybe this is the reason why this research is controversial。

Judaism is similar to Islam because both religions believe in one God and have religious laws and dietary rules. However, they have different holy books, religious practices, and beliefs.

The paragraph mentions differences in the role of women in society and explains that Islam prohibits eating pork and drinking alcohol.

Both religions believe in one God, have a holy book, provide rules and guidance for their followers, have a history of pilgrimage, and promote peace.

The writer’s main point is that Christianity and Islam have more similarities than many people think. The author's purpose is to show the important things the two religions have in common.

Yes, Arabic is spoken in my family. Arabic is written from right to left, while English is written from left to right. Arabic also has a different alphabet and different grammar rules from English.

The writer explains that Cree verbs are more complex than English verbs, Cree nouns are divided into animate and inanimate groups, and possession is expressed differently in Cree.

The writer is contrasting the grammar of the Cree language with the grammar of English.

I agree with this quote from Bo Burnham. I do feel like social media forces children to be more insecure of themselves and can lead to them comparing themselves with others, not understanding what's real or not. I also agree with his thinking of social anxiety and how it feels like you're a bit disassociated with yourself. I do feel like social media can create a false sense of security for kids and also can lead to them developing more anxiety issues.

I have experienced this before. I used up my cellular data before because of watching TikTok. So, I decided to delete it, and turn to watch TikTok on iPad which is connected internet at my dorm. Then, I don't use TikTok at outside of dorm. This do enhance my ability of studying. However, I would miss some of message from my friends. So, I change my plan. I choose to see all of the message before I sleep. This experience of mine is very related to the content in the book. In conclusion, this consequence seems like I win myself from get addicted into TikTok, but actually I win the algorithm designed to enlarge our time of using TikTok.

Typo: double open parenthesis should be just "("

Coming back to this quote after reading the chapter – I'm curious what a commons-based economy would be like in relation to socio-political praxis [in or beyond or outside of occuaptional therapy]

If we were to build/develop an online space for sharing/gathering...like this annotation space, it can form an enclosure depending on who owns/governs the domain.

If we're looking to embody this, what about research assistant contracts? Recognizing that university policies for RAs are in place to prevent grad students from being exploited.

Might be good to gather some examples of decision-making models

Yeah, this is important as we're thinking about commoning/sharing across contexts. The notion of a global commons (or international praxis network) would ultimately reify who holds power

This has methodological implications. If we recruit participants that are not a community, then we need to first build community?

This is a really important point. I'm wondering if there are some existing resources out there as a basis to start developing this as we go?

This is really resonant - we see this also with respect to community-based research that is time consuming (aka inefficient). Even in terms of the systems that practitioners operate in – commoning will be valued if it increases efficiency in some way. Perhaps by necessity in the non-profit sector even.

Also read Linebaugh!

Might be good to read De Angelis' work? They've been cited a few times. There is one in our reading table.

I have never heard of this!

There's an interesting tension here...there is an insurgent aspect to a gated commons, or a means to survive within globalized and advanced capitalism. And also, it is still 'expensive' even if not monetarily...eg join the commons if you agree to share back with the commons...or maybe that isn't an example of a gated commons.

Are communities of practice, eg through CAOT a form of gated commons?

Yes, also this!

This isn't want they're talking about here - but I'm thinking about the [OT or other] participants we might recruit...or who might have a desire to common knowledge (more widely speaking or in a future project). What type of contexts can practitioners afford/have time to do it? Compensation helps, but the tension in terms of commodification of labour. What if a pool of funds were made available and each 'common' would decide on how to distribute? Our ethics boards typically ensure research participation is never 'pay' but more akin to a gift recognizing contribution.

There are risks, I think, in developing commons in a research context. Where the funding for developing this sort of thing is held by universities, and thereby researchers can exert control. And still, there is also safety in universities holding funds if there is a shared governance structure.

I'm curious whether there is grassroots demand for new social forms and 'self-provisioning' of knowledge in health and social services (or OT). My guess is that our current social form, the mode of production, is so normalized that it isn't questioned.

Commoning as little experiments in self-provisioning. I love that.

rise of this during Covid - became something commonly understood, whereas not as much before

When meeting with folks at the university about options for licensing the praxis toolkit, they advised against creative commons. Commercialization and revenue generating options are preferred.

Primative accumulation - where people who used to produce things (eg artisans) are turned into wage labourers. Academics pumping out papers while publishers make a killing. Commodification of peer support. Theories are credible when packaged up by researchers in universities. Are extractive research practices an example? I think so...

Struggle as methodologically productive...struggle not as a thing or a state of being, but struggle as a doing or an activity.

What is the territory that we're thinking about – theory, knowledge, practices in [healthcare/social services/occupational therapy]? I wonder what a historical excavation might show in terms or where knowledge in our field has been held...in north america at least OT came out of the collision of the arts & crafts movement and pyschiatry (to oversimplify it).

I had not thought of this

Must ensure that Information Architects pay attention to detail

By doing this, the user will give the design a better review and, not everyone has time to look up a lot of words in a dictionary

Speaking of the four corners of the continental U.S., one of my favorite things to do in a large store is see what merchadise they have in the farthest corners of the store. These tend to be the most forgotten items.

Aww nuts. Gilbertese is not one of the languages that Google Translate has.

From what I found online, the islands of Kiribati are spread across 2,200 to 2,400 miles from east to west. To compare, the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States is roughly 2,800 to 3,000 miles.

Wow. No other national flag has blue waves.

The Selfish Gene is a book that was written by Richard Dawkins in 1976 that kind of focuses the perspective around the gene's rather than the entire species as a group. There are countless different themes that he speaks about but a few of the main ideas that this book speaks about are: What is DNA's role in evolution, Why he refers to genes as selfish, and Altruism amongst animals.

Dawkins says that genes are crucial for evolution because they allow us to carry genetic data from one generation to the next. Organisms that manage to survive until reproduction stage allow certain beneficial traits to develop over multiple generations, which improves evolution.

Dawkins considers genes to be "selfish" not because they are capable of being decisions that are selfish but because natural selection inherently favors genes that are successful at reproducing.

Dawkins curiosity of Altruism in animals stems from his observation that sometimes animals help each other out even if doing so, puts them at risk. He believes that because these animals share many of the same genes, that by helping each other, they can indirectly increase the chance of shared genes being passed down to the next generation.

I think this is a great example of how social media can bring people together creatively. What I find interesting is that people don't even need to know each other to collaborate on something that becomes viral. It also makes me think that virality isn't always about getting attention or becoming famous. Sometimes it's just about people having fun and sharing their creativity.

I found this interesting source on what makes content viral.

The article talks about why certain content goes viral on the internet. In the article, the researchers found that content triggering strong emotions, such as excitement, anger, or anxiety, is more likely to be shared, which suggests that emotional reactions play an important role in how information spreads across social media.

I think one thing I found interesting was that content that makes people angry or anxious is often the type to go viral opposed to content that makes people sad. This makes me think intensity is what truly gets people invested, whether that be positive intensity or negative intensity.

Vox article on how William Carlos Williams's poem 'This Is Just To Say' became a Twitter meme in 2017. Social media can bring older literature back to life, and others rewritten and remixed the poem into humorous posts. Even the shift from 140 to 280 characters on Twitter left more room to play with these jokes. The essay discusses how internet culture allows users to make creative references to existing works and introduce them to new audiences.

This is an article from Wikipedia about what a meme is. It talks about the evolution and history of memes as well as who created the term. It also mentions the criticism of meme theory and applications.

The link is abut the Clinton and Lewinsky scandal in which Bill Clinton, the president of the United States, and Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern were coined as being in a sexual relationship. It apparently began in 1995 when Bill Clinton was 49 years old and Monica Lewinsky was 22 years old. What is interesting about this situation to me was the reaction of people towards Monica Lewinsky. How she was made to be some type of horrible person although the situation in itself was very predatory. The president of the U.S. having sexual relations with an intern, especially one as young as Monica Lewinsky was, should have gained him more criticism than it gained her. The slut shaming was very disappointing to hear about.

I remember when this video came out and the rage that I felt 1 because her dog was off leash and 2 because of what she said when she called the cops. She knew that by saying the man was black she was more likely to get a robust response from the police. To their knowledge her description didn’t even have to be accurate. It’s an awful reaction.

According to Wikipedia, a pyramid scheme is a business model where a person or small group of people starts at the top, recruits new members, and then pays those members to recruit more members. This causes the whole structure to grow like a pyramid. Pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries because they are considered a scam, while a few people at the top profit; most of the people in the middle or lower levels lose the money they initially put in and get scammed.

Monica Lewinsky is a perfect example of someone who got wrapped into 'virality'. People found this news to be concerning or engaging, so it survived over time. To this day, you can find memes and articles of her on the internet.

I found this topic interesting because pyramid schemes rely mainly on recruiting new members rather than providing real value through products or services. I wonder how difficult the system was to obtain as each level of this model must recruit more people. And I also want to know why people may still join or share schemes, even when most participants are likely to lose money?

I thought it was interesting how one simple TikTok video turned into over 500 duets. People were even making their own characters, like a can of soup or a shopping cart wheel. I think this shows how social media trends can bring people together and allow them to be creative.

I think this shows one way of how a meme goes viral. When someone influential as elon musk shares a meme, it almost always gets share to a massive amount of people, and therefore the meme goes viral. I think this might also carry risk, because if someone influential shares a meme or story that might be misleading or fake news. those news can be share to a lot of people almost instantly.

I was interested in this source because i’m very familiar with this song, “Friday” by Rebecca Black, but not how it became a meme, which is what this source covers. This source covers how the video spread across all of social media and grew to new jokes, remix’s, and even parodies. Through all this Rebecca was only 13, which i found extremely surprising, especially with all the hate and bullying that she got during this time.

Dennis Lee tries making a viral Spaghettio pie recipe that uses Spaghettios, cheese, milk, and garlic bread. He talks about how weird the recipe is and how it doesn't turn out very good, but he is surprised that it actually tastes better than he expected.

This Wikipedia article defines a meme as an idea or behavior that imitates other people within a culture.

This source gives an in-depth overview of the origin of the memes and how they have evolved. Specifically, I looked at how the word is defined. The word “meme” comes from the Ancient Greek word "mīmēma", which means “imitated thing.” Biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term in his book The Selfish Gene (1976). In the book, he used it to describe how ideas and culture spread the way genes do, using examples like catchphrases, melodies, and fashion. In a broader perspective, some memes spread because they provide simple explanations for why things are going wrong.

The word memes comes from Greek and coined recently in 1976.

The idea of a meme, or at least what can be found to be most interesting about it, is fascinatingly tied to a human desire far older than print. To think that we all just want to share a common experience, finding joy within a communal feeling, is so fantastic. With the advent of print technologies however, cultural impacts can be condensed into a physical image or common phrase in a far more accessible manner. I wonder how this anthropological habit will evolve with new technologies?

I have found communities online that help with different thing such as body positivity, immigrant groups, and after life of pro athletes. This helps me so much because I can get a visual feel on how many people have the same struggles with me. But on the negative side social media has many people that like to use it just to bring down confidence and make you feel less than.

I find this to be very interesting. It does seem plausible that someone's cultural background would have an impact on how they interact in a new culture. If a person was not catered for in their old situation, why would the expect to be catered for in their new situation?

This just shows how statistics need to be not immediately treated as fact. A piece of data sometimes does not tell the whole story. As learners, we need to be cautious about creating our opinions.

To be able to participate in healthy cultural exchange but NOT harmful cultural appropriation, there are a variety of different methods and things you can do before exchanging cultures. To prevent being harmful you must first educate yourself about the culture's history and significance of certain items/foods. Another thing you can do is to avoid stereotypes or reinforcing certain stereotypes regardless of whether you believe they are harmful or not. Lastly, you should engage in cultural events, eat traditional foods, and inquire about certain cultural things that you are curious about without trying to avoid all cultural things in fear of appropriating their culture. By doing all of these steps before being introduced into a different culture ensures that you don't accidentally adopt their culture wrongly and reinterpret it to be something that it's not.

We can participate in cultural exchanges on social media by respecting and learning about other cultures, but when we do so it is important to give proper credit to their origins. This includes listening to people from those cultures, understanding the meaning behind cultural traditions, and avoiding stereotypes or using cultural elements solely for trends or entertainment. I think it's important to recognize the difference between appreciating a cultural and exploiting/misrepresenting it for personal gain.

I think citing sources is always important when a trend is just starting out. This way we're aware of who's it behind. However, once it’s become widely known and once we can all contribute the art automatically to said person then maybe it’s okay. Regardless it’s a very tricky situation. I think citing the creator should be done so there’s no mistaking where it came from.

This is something I honestly had no idea about. I had never thought about the origins of some of the popular words and phrases that we use on the internet and where they come from. I suppose the anonymity on the internet makes it more socially acceptable to appropriate these phrases. Seeing this as a white guy makes me want to be extra aware of using these phrases.

I think that attribution should depend on what the creator of the original content wants, and if no original creator can be found, then the use of the meme or content is free game. If brands are using somebody's content for advertisement, credit alone isn't enough; they should reimburse the creator with money. I think it is courteous to give a creator credit for their work on social media because online, attention is currency, and you can pay them back by sending more people to their channel. Some creators, however, may not want credit so that they aren't subjected to bullying/ harrassment; if this is the case, then it is right not to give them credit or use their content at all.

I think it’s important to give credit to people sharing important ideas or art in their content but it’s more complicated when it comes to posts like memes. Although it is one person original idea it’s not common to give credit to the creator of a meme. It’s unspoken but known that memes will blow up and take a life of their own, creators are usually aware of this fact and even if someone wanted to give credit it’s difficult to find the original creators of them in most cases.

I think this is a good idea because not everyone is going to agree on every decision at work. Employees should be allowed to share their opinions, but once a decision is made, everyone needs to work together to make it successful.

In my own words, I think this means managers should give employees the information they need and trust them to make decisions instead of controlling every little thing. I think this is a good way to manage people because employees can learn more and feel like their opinions matter.

This part stood out to me because it shows how serious Netflix is about keeping high-performing employees. I understand wanting the best people working for a company, but I think this could also create a lot of pressure. I wonder if this approach helps employees improve or mostly makes them feel stressed.

I like that Netflix expects leaders to follow the same standards as everyone else. Sometimes managers expect employees to listen to feedback but don't want to hear it themselves. I think being able to speak honestly with your manager can make a workplace better because problems can be fixed instead of ignored.

I thought this was an interesting way to describe a workplace. Netflix is basically saying that being part of the company is about performance and having the right people in each position. I understand wanting employees who work hard, but I also think comparing a company to a sports team could make people feel like their jobs are never fully secure. It makes me wonder how employees feel knowing they could be replaced if someone better comes along.

I find this point about cultural capital to be very interesting. While the author did not have the cultural capital to understand the differences between restaurants, I would guess they had cultural capital in understanding nature and the forest. Cultural capital can be completely different depending on situation.

It is interesting to see how it is all about perception. The author was satisfied with their Homelife until others began to push their beliefs on the author. If the author did not ever get called poor, would they have ever felt that third grade was bad?

I never really thought about memes as something that evolves over time. It reminds me of how trends on TikTok and Instagram start with one person, and then everyone creates their own version. I think it's interesting how the original meaning can completely change as more people participate. It makes me wonder whether the original creator should still get credit when a trend becomes viral.

I've always known that what humans find the most useful, relatable, accessible, or enjoyable typically has a lasting impact. However, I've never linked it in this way to natural selection. It's about the survival of the fittest, the meme/tech/belief/etc. that can withstand time. I found this link to be interesting and something that made it easy to connect the phenomenas to each other.

I've noticed this on TikTok and Instagram, where people copy trends because they like the sound or want to engage with the community. I think that's how memes spread, since people keep making their own versions of the same trend.

I participate in helping content go viral by sharing, commenting and liking the content. This makes it so the algorithm pushes this content to more people which then helps it go viral. Also saving videos helps because I am engaging with the content.

Just by using the mediums of content consumption in typical ways. TikTok, Instagram, and youtube all care for the data of views and likes, so when I see things or interact with things typically I'm directly adding to the virality. Engagement monetization leads to consumption taking place in mass chunks, so it's not entirely uncommon for me to have watched the same video as many of my peers. My favorite content creators, a statement that implies the point in itself, are platforms that I and many others dedicate time to consuming, thereby dedicating time to make them viral.

This knockdown effect perpetuates the same issues over and over. If a poor person struggles in school because of socioeconomic issues then they are more likely to influence their child to do worse in school. This could cause the child to do worse and be more likely to experience poverty in the next generation.

I wonder what the primary factors are to the contribution to rural poverty increase over urban poverty. Is it based around access? Since urban poverty has easier access to jobs and social services is that helping more than for rural areas?.

I wonder if some of the issues within his class stem from this mentality. If the teacher is behaving like they just want to get to retirement I could see this influencing students to not try. If the teacher does not appear to care why would the students care themselves?

I think this is one of the best ideas in the article because I believe employees should be judged by how well they do their jobs instead of how long they stay at work. This connects to business management because managers need to understand productivity and how to get the best performance out of their employees.

found this part interesting because you would think being honest with your employer about your personal responsibilities would be a good thing. However, the article explains that being open about these things can sometimes hurt someone's chances of getting promoted. I think this creates an unfair situation because employees are almost being punished for having a life outside of their careers. It makes me wonder how many talented employees leave companies because they don't feel supported. This is kind of how I am feeling at my job right now because I do bring a lot to the table but I do not feel respected always or appreciated.

What I think this is saying is that some people are completely okay with putting most of their time and energy into their careers, especially when they enjoy what they do. For those people working long hours might not feel like a problem at first. However, I think there is a difference between choosing to work hard because you enjoy your career and feeling forced to work constantly because you are afraid of losing your job.

This made me think about how some people believe that working longer hours automatically means they are better employees. Before reading this, I didn't really think about how much pressure employees can feel to choose between their careers and their personal lives. I believe there needs to be a balance between their job and things outside of work that are important for each individual person.

I think this is something that happens in a lot of workplaces, especially jobs where managers expect employees to always be available. Even if someone is not scheduled to work, they might still get messages asking them to come in or do something for the company. I can relate to this because balancing work, school, soccer, and other responsibilities can already be difficult. When employers expect people to put work ahead of everything else, it can make it harder to have a life outside of work. I am a Senior BA at American Eagle which is a management posiition so I have a lot of responsibility but I feel like my job does not respect my availability that I have given them.

I like how chain letters played upon people's fears or rewarded them for passing it along. It reminds me of social network posts asking people to repost something for good luck or to avoid bad luck. Maybe the technology varies, but such tricks still work on people today.

This is interesting that these chain letters existed because I remember when I was younger and people would send chain mail through text. This was a big deal to my friends and I, we would all be scared of the texts and send them to one another. I never thought about where this originated from, but it makes sense that it happened through mail and letters first. But to think that it started with people asking for money and that working is sort of crazy.

1. One thing I learned from this section is how important it is to have a budget and understand where my money is going. Budgeting helps me keep track of how much money I earn, what I spend, and how much I can put into savings. I also learned that having a checking and savings account can help me organize my money and keep track of my spending. Something that stood out to me was the importance of having an emergency fund. Unexpected expenses like car repairs, medical bills, or replacing a computer can happen at any time. Having money saved for emergencies can prevent someone from needing to use a credit card or take out a loan. I think starting with small amounts from each paycheck is a realistic way to build savings over time.

1. Learning about financial planning will benefit me throughout college and in my future career because it has helped me understand the importance of making responsible decisions with money. As a General Business student, I know that understanding finances is an important skill that can also help me in the business world. I want to be able to manage my income, save for future goals, avoid unnecessary debt, and make smart decisions about spending. I also learned that protecting personal information, using strong passwords, and keeping financial accounts secure are important parts of managing money. These skills will help me become more independent and prepared for unexpected situations. Overall, I think learning these things now will help me build better financial habits that I can use throughout my education, career, and everyday life.

1. This section helped me understand that paying for college involves more than just paying tuition because there are also costs for books, supplies, transportation, and other expenses. I learned that students have different options to help pay for their education, including grants, scholarships, student loans, and work-study programs. One thing that stood out to me was the importance of completing the FAFSA because it can help students qualify for different types of financial aid. I also learned that student loans should be taken seriously because they have to be paid back and can affect someone's finances after graduation. Since I am currently attending South Puget Sound Community College for my General Business degree, I think it is important to understand these options and look for ways to reduce the amount of money I may need to borrow.

1. I learned that credit cards can be helpful when they are used responsibly, but they can also create financial problems if someone spends more than they can afford to pay back. One important thing I learned is that paying a credit card balance in full each month can help avoid paying interest. Making payments on time is also important because it helps build and maintain a good credit score. I did not realize how much interest and late fees could add up when someone only makes the minimum payment. This reminded me of the situation with Elan at the beginning of the chapter because using credit to buy something expensive ended up creating more financial stress. I learned that it is better to only use credit for purchases I can afford and to think about the long-term cost before borrowing money.

1. My top immediate financial priority is increasing my savings and having more money set aside for the future. Since I am in college and also working, I want to make sure I am managing my money responsibly while balancing school and other expenses. The aspect of my finances that concerns me the most is planning and saving for the future because I want to be financially independent and prepared for unexpected expenses. When it comes to paying for college, I know the least about work-study programs. I would like to understand more about how they work and how students can use them to help pay for their education.

I found the section on doomscrolling really relatable because I catch myself doing it on social media. Sometimes I keep scrolling through negative news or posts without realizing how much time has passed. Even though I know that constantly seeing negative content can affect my mental health, it can be hard to stop because there's always something new to look at. I think social media makes this worse because algorithms keep recommending similar content, making it easy to get stuck in a cycle of scrolling.

I think surveys are a good way for companies to find out how their employees actually feel about working there. Sometimes employees might not feel comfortable speaking up directly to their managers, so surveys give them another way to share their opinions. Companies could use the responses from theses surveys to figure out what they are doing well or need to improve on.

I think employees should feel comfortable sharing their ideas and trying new things without worrying about getting in trouble if something does not work out. Sometimes the people doing the actual work have the best ideas about how to improve a business. Even in my own work I need someone to just let me try something new and if I mess up address it, but do not let me have a new opportunity because I have less experience.

I think is a very important piece of this article because employees should be treated like actual people and not individuals who are just there to work for a company and recieve a paycheck in return. Just as it says in chapter 2, everyone has different goals and personalities but at the end of the day each person is working towards one goal. I think the way employees are treated from the beginning of their employment makes a big difference in how they feel about a company as well.

This section made me realize that online content can encourage people to participate, not just watch. I've noticed a similar post on Reddit where people use a prompt to think about their own scenario. This made me think about social media not only as a platform for people to chat, but also a designed place for people to have more various communication.

I think in recent days, in era of social media, there is a lot of things that go viral. Someone posts something that is funny or interesting, and everyone shares it and it later goes viral which almost everyone in social media can see. I feel like there is so many news that go viral these days, that this is might be good in terms of sharing a funny videos, but it might also support misleading or false information that users find it funny or interesting.

I think the chain reaction from posting something that went accidentally viral is a very interesting concept. For example, some could post something that they did not intend to go viral and it could jumpstart an influencing career for them. One example of this is Alix Earl, who got famous for making a get ready with me video, which has now turned her into one of the biggest influencers of this generation and she now has turned it into a career.

This has become more common nowadays because of getting more views and likes. This creates anger in users that don’t realize that that it was intentionally made for being offensive.

in general, fight club is a meditation on nihilism: everything will die, nothing will last, nothing makes sense, so how do we want to die?

passive nihilism ("team blue") is represented by the anonymous character, wasting his time to optimize his appartment (cave) with pretty-but-useless furniture, waiting for a day that never comes (false patience, hopium), waiting for "a natural death" (in effect, rotting in bed while being held alive by "doctors"), selfishly trying to "just have some fun" and then die without leaving a trace

active nihilism ("team red") is represented by Tyler Durden, the man with a plan... of course he will not change the fact that everything will die, but at least he actively consciously chooses to "die with style", to "die in combat", to die as a warrior, sacrificing his life for some higher purpose ("space monkey"...)

there’s more i won’t list

one detail i really like about fight club is the "homework assignments" scene, where Tyler Durden (the leader) assigns "homework" to his soldiers in written form, so all the operations stay as clandestine as possible. so effectively, Tyler Durden is bootstrapping his own secret service, biased towards "active measures" (team red, attack)

This chapter stood out to me because memes have changed so much in the past decade. When I was growing up we would use social media apps like vine that had much more creative humor, and was clearly a lot more thought out. I think that memes have gotten a lot more simple and less creative, which could potentially match the humor that the younger generations enjoy, such as the 6-7 meme.

The characters Dexter and Judy are allusions to F. Scott Fitzgerald's other work The Great Gatsby because the characters are very similar to Gatsby and Daisy.

Groups like the Italian immigrants from The Godfather were limited in terms of their social mobility, shown by the example of Amerigo Bonasera’s daughter not receiving the same justice that the “native” American would receive. Were gangs created, or organized like the mob in The Godfather, as a way to mimic these corporations for those who were blocked in their social mobility so that they could share this same identity?

It's great that teachers were aware of just how important and crucial these actions and movements are. I recall some of the students in my middle school organizing a protest as well many years ago, and witnessing the reactions of different teachers. Some, like Mr. Rodriguez, were supportive and understood the movement, whereas some threatened disciplinary action or consequences for those who would participate in the protests.

This just goes to show just how crucial school and education is, as it goes beyond teaching our kids academic subjects such as arithmetic, science, and English. Education is power, control, and mobility. And receiving an education that teaches all the aforementioned while respecting as well as enhancing your heritage and background is more important than people would expect. Oftentimes, people see school as this entity that is detached from home and society---but it's not.

Here is a question. If all humans had the same language without any differences, would we become smart and faster or slower in advancing as a species?

Extremelly interesting and sad at the same time, language may just as much divide as it unites.

I had not clue that was how Mandarin worked, very interesting and difficult apparently.

Does this mean that witnesses who speak different languages could remember the same accident differently in court? How this could affect the judgment?

what if the await?

Not language we have used. What to look at how these are grouped and follow the order of the survey instead. Community Priorities Community Conditions Quality of Life Social Capital

Seeing two introductions

Through x-ray crystallography they were able to see the 3D shape of PhiKan083 bound with Y220C p53 mutant. This helped them determine ligand shifts, binding interactons, and how favorable this compound can bind within the cavity.

Here they were able to clearly represent the binding itherations with Cys220, Tyr220, and Thr230 to show why these interactions in ligand shifts, hydrophoic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and conformation changes.

Lastly, and the most important, is that they compared p53 mutant structure before and after compound binding with PhiKan083. They found that most moved a little, but side chain Thr150 shfited by ~1.4 Å. This was determined to have widened the binding cavity allowing PhiKan083 to fit in more favorably.

They also found that PhiKan083 forms hydogen bonds with residue Asp228 with the N-methylmethanamine group of PhiKan083. This hydrogen boding was detemined to proide a favorable ineraction between te ligand and p53 mutant to stabilize the complex.

They hypothesized that an PhiKan083 can occupy the emprty space where the Y220C mutation changed the tyrosine with cysteine. Through this crystal this found that impactful hydrophobic interactions take palce inside the cavity. Fitting in between favorable hydrophoic packing regions with resides Phe109, Leu145, Val147, and Leu257. Its 9-ethyl group was able to extend inside the cystiene residue for this favorable ineraction.

They were able to crystalize PhiKan083 and determined a 1.5 Å resolution, which is how we identify how indvidual atoms and amino acids are in binding sites.

Since the mutation destabilizing the p53 protein packing interactions, this is important for understanding how this PhiKan089 crystaline structure would interact with this mutant.

They utilized scanning calorimetry and found that PhiKan083 increased in melting temperature as its concentration increased. Increasing melting temperature by 2C from approximentately 43C. At 37C, they found that PhiKan083 increased denaturation half-life from 3.8 minutes without the compound to 15.7 minutes at saturating concentrations. Showing it is capable of both thermally stabilizing and binding stabilizing. However, the high compound concentrations remain an issue in therapeutic applications.

After finding PhiKan059, they wanted to expand their screening for other molcules that had a similar strucutre but better binding affinity to Y220C mutatant.

They used the 9H-carbazole scaffold as a base for their screening and found PhiKan083. This compound had a much better dissociation constant of 167uM, improving its binding affinity from PhiKan059.

In the 80 compounds they screened, they identified PhiKan059, that was able to interact with the cavity of the Y220C mutant. Additionally, it did not show the same binding in p53 that did not contain Y220C. However, they determined that a relatively weak average dissociation constant at 213 uM of PhiKan059, having weak binding affinity.

A Y220C p53 mutant is a very common p53 mutation that creates a destablized cavity by a surface crevice where it is responsible for DNA binding and protein interactions. This makes it a relavant mutation to attempt to target for a stabilzing agent.

Performed large-scale screening from the ZINC database to find compounds capable of binding the p53 Y220C mutatant.

Ended up getting >24.8 million sturcutres and narrowed it down with certain filters. First they checked properties compatible with the p53 mutant cavity going to 13,145 strcutres. Then they used molecular docking sinulations to go down to 421 stuctures. Lastly, they manually sorted these and went to 80 compoiunds for experimental investigation.

The "genuine plastic" was read from an advertisement and got a second of canned laughter, even then.

Leave it to Beaver Season 5, Episode 29 in 1962.

"Plastics" wasn't yet a "line" in The Graduate until 1967.

Yes, absolutely. This is crucial.

Thus if no collaborators could be found, then direct control would have to contemplated

Korean participation would thus be critical to the success of reform

Thus, Ito's guided change would need the direct participation of the Korean people in order to effect (without coercion)

Reform would need to take place despite the resistance of the people

Collaboration as a necessity for the Japanese protectorate

Korean elite had led to the backwardness of its nation

Koreans and Japanese were equal, it was Korean leadership which had led the Koreans astray

Japan would step forward to help put Korea in order

Security argument (threat of foreign powers) as a key part of the reasoning for the protectorate

Ito would serve as the ruler of the country, with little interference from other bodies, and with full military control

Popular anger soon outgrew the official resistance to the occupation

Japanese needed to contain the monarch in order to hold control of the country

Nationalistic/patriotic appeals to resistance to Japanese occupation

The real work of preservation and study that Congress denied in 1949.

Damn, unfortunate. Important to consider as always when moving forward with the reading. Following section mentions the destruction of New Deal art.

How quickly? A few of the referenced works earlier were made to establish post-war unity, why include them if not the pillar of strength in this argument? Why not in this section?

Answer to the earlier question, if it is controversial it is indeed realistically a representation of the artist's mind.

Do you mean... actual artistic representation??? Crazy! Madness!

Good phrasing, punchy wording. Usable in a wider context.

Sustained is a strong word here, and while the numbers demonstrate a substantial investment and public arts display I am unsure of this figure without a real contrast to works created outside of this structure.

Real emphasis of the effects of the New Deal/ public funding here.

Essential understanding of the basis of public funding for the arts.

Mechanical transduction channels of sensory hair cells possess lipid scramblase activity. Membrane lipid disruption resulting from mechanical transduction is thought to be restored by flippase activities. This fundamental study provides compelling evidence that ATP8B1, a P4-ATP flippase and its subunit TMEM30B, are key in mediating this restorative function in outer hair cells of the mammalian cochlea.
