Ask anyone who has dealt with persistent harassment online, especially women: [trolls stopping because they are ignored] is not usually what happens. Instead, the harasser keeps pushing and pushing to get the reaction they want with even more tenacity and intensity. It’s the same pattern on display in the litany of abusers and stalkers, both online and off, who escalate to more dangerous and threatening beha
I agree with the idea that just “not feeding the trolls” doesn’t always work. Sometimes ignoring them gives them more space to keep spreading hate, especially when the target is already being attacked or harassed. I think the article makes a good point that it’s unfair to put all the responsibility on the person being targeted.
What do you think is the best way to deal with trolling?
Ignore. Trolls usually recive what they are after from reactions. If you simply ignore them the trolls don't get what they want.

The authors highlight that the relationship between family income and children’s academic achievement has strengthened over recent decades. This growing “income achievement gap” replaces the older concern about the “race gap.” It shows that economic inequality is now the main barrier to educational equity.
the authors describe schools as the key mechanism through which equal opportunity should be achieved. Education is the “engine” of the American Dream—but it’s also where inequalities are reproduced. This introduces the book’s main theme: the conflict between democratic ideals and educational inequality.
begin by showing how deeply the American Dream shapes U.S. identity—it promises that hard work and talent can lead anyone to success. But they also note that this ideal can obscure social inequalities. The tension between belief and reality drives their whole argument.

Brains, Alan, Tin Tin and I were fast asleep in a pile of furs in a mountain cave. It was kind to our skin, and not too itchy or irritating. Outside our mountain cave, we could hear pure mountain water flowing gently. The mountain atmosphere was peaceful and soft.
The sharp division that exists between immigrant and U.S.-born youth is a striking feature, particularly when one considers that many of the U.S.-born students have parents and grandparents who are from Mexico. However, such divisions have been observed among Mexican adults as well (Rodriguez & Nunez, 1986). This discussion should not be taken to mean that immigrants should not be accorded their much-needed, and often deficient, language support systems. I simply want to express that the broader Mexican community's collective interest to achieve academically gels co
It’s kind of crazy how even within the same community, these divisions get reinforced by schools. Immigrant students might get support for language, which is important, but at the same time, U.S.born students can end up at a disadvantage just because of how the system sorts and treats them. It shows that schools aren’t just neutral spaces, they actively shape who gets opportunities and who falls behind, and that can end up weakening the collective success of the whole community.
Finally, quantitative evidence points to significantly higher academic achievement among immigrants than among U.S.-born youth located in the regular track. Though not controlling for curriculum track placement, other scholars have observed this tendency among Mexican and Central American students
It shows that immigrant students often do really well academically, but I think it is important to look at the bigger picture. Their success might not just be about individual effort or assimilation. It could also be shaped by the schools and systems they navigate, which might favor certain behaviors, cultural values, or even language skills. At the same time, focusing only on individual achievement ignores the ways the system can advantage some students while making it harder for others. A critical look can help reveal how schools reward certain kinds of adaptation and resilience, and also highlight what supports or changes are needed to help all students succeed, not just the ones who fit the expected mold.
First, students' parental education levels are very low, hovering around nine years of schooling completed for third-generation students.5 Though hight::r tlia11 the average for parents of first-generation respondents (i.e., six. years of schooling), a "high" of nine for the U.S.-born population means that parents have little educational "advantage" co confer to their children (L
This really puts things into perspective. It shows how much of an uphill battle some students face before they even get to school. If parents only have a few years of schooling, they might not have the tools or experience to guide their kids through academic challenges. It also makes me think about how schools need to step in and provide support that these students might not be getting at home, because expecting them to succeed without that foundation is setting them up for more obstacles.
inding from survey data corroborated in the ethnographic account is that immigrant youth experience school significantly more positively than do their U.$.-born peers. That is, they see teachers as more caring and accessible than do their U.S.-born counterparts, and they rate the school clir1;ate in more positive terms as well. They are also much less likely to evade school rules and policies.
The data from the questionnaire survey and the results of the ethnographic study mutually corroborate, indicating that immigrant students' feelings towards the school are significantly more positive than those of their peers born in the United States.
massive student walkout in October 1989, and a number of school reforms sud: as site-based management, little has changed to significantly alter its underachieving profile. Seguin is locked in inertia. Steeped in a logic of technical rationality, schooling centers on questions of how best to administer the curriculum rather than on why. as presently organized, it tends to block the educational mobility of huge segments of its student body. Excepting those located in the privileged rungs of the curriculum-that is, honors classes, the magnet school program. and the upper levels of the Career and Technology Education (CTE) vocational programl-the academic trajectories of the vast majority are highly circumscribed. Because as a group, 9th graders are especially "at risk," I tried to talk to as many of them as possible and to incorporate their voices and experiences into this ethnographic account
This logic centered on technical rationality has restricted the educational mobility of the majority of students. Only a few students who enter honors courses, magnet programs, or advanced vocational education courses have more opportunities, while the academic trajectories of the majority of students are still strictly limited.
Schools subtract resources from youth in two major ways. The first involves a process of "de-Mex.icanization," or subtracting students' culture and language, which is consequen-tial to their achievement arid orientations toward school. The second involves the role of caring between teachers and students in the educational process. De-Mex.icanization erodes students' social capital (Coleman 1988, I 990; also see Stanton-Salazar, 1997), by making it difficult for constructive social ti~s to develop between immigrant and U.S.-born youth:
The school will reduce students' resources in two ways. The first one is "de-Mexicanization", which means eliminating students' culture and language. This directly affects their academic performance and their attitude towards the school.
Important to note
The reason we wanted to do it, more than anything, was, what’s the first step in handling addiction? It’s admitting you’ve got a problem,” he said. “And this was intended to get people to ask themselves that question: ‘Do I have a problem here?’”
I don't think it's necessarily a problem or that people are addicted to cars, but rather they have just been so accustomed to it they never questioned it.
the average U.S. household spent $12,295 on transportation in 2022
People always complain about how expensive cars are and for good reason. This is also another issue because if one fails to pay for their gas or insurance or a mechanic's bill they are stuck without any means of moving around.
Through a phenomenon known as induced demand, expanding roads simply attracts more drivers, causing new traffic jams.
The principle of induced demand can also be applied to bike lanes and other car-free methods of transportation.
Accepting the premise that virtually all adults need two-ton private vehicles to accompany them everywhere they go necessarily implies devoting a vast amount of space exclusively to driving and parking, leading to sprawling, inhospitable concrete landscapes.
This is a big issue. Even if we get rid of all of our cars overnight we're still left with massive infrastructure throughout the entire country absorbing heat and contributing to global warming.
the issue of systemic car fatalities barely registers in political debates when compared to debates over firearms.
Again, this shows how we have normalized cars and how car dependency is an issue that is not talked about enough.
the assumption that driving is the only realistic form of transportation in most of the U.S.
This is an important fact to keep in mind while reading the article.
Without empathy, we would all be sociopaths, which by definitionlack the capacity to identify with another
Understanding feelings (empathy) can help in their persuasion which in turn strengthens their rhetoric. I picked this statement because it is hyperbolic, empathy is a spectrum. It is a rhetorical statement to show how important empathy is.
Knowledge is useless if it can’t be communicated
This statement is timeless. If knowledge can't be expressed, it is useless to society.
It is the inherent probability and social nature of knowl-edge that leads Aristotle to claim that rhetoric is the art of discovering thepossible means of persuasion
This basically says that Aristotle draws a conclusion about rhetoric.
One way to avoid this harm, while still sharing harsh feedback, is to follow a simple rule: if you’re going to say something sharply negative, say something genuinely positive first, and perhaps something genuinely positive after as well.
I feel this “hamburger” rule seems a little formulaic at first, but I realize it does work. I agree with Ko that it forces critics to find good aspects, even when a design appears weak overall. I know from my own experience that if I only receive negative comments, I will not have the motivation to solve that. However, if that is mentioned well, I'm much more open to hearing the criticism. This approach makes people slow down and actually notice the good parts of a design, instead of just tearing it apart.
One way to avoid this harm, while still sharing harsh feedback, is to follow a simple rule: if you’re going to say something sharply negative, say something genuinely positive first, and perhaps something genuinely positive after as well. Some people call this the “hamburger” rule, other people call it a “shit sandwich.” Whatever you want to call it, finding something positive to say about something you don’t like forces you to consider the possibility that there is something actually good about the idea, even though all you might notice is what isn’t working. It’s your responsibility to search for both and share both good and bad aspects of an idea.
I agree with this portion of text. This is something that I see people do in non-design contexts, and something I do in my every day life. I use this tactic a lot at my workplace when training new hires. First, telling them something their doing a good job at, then telling them something they still need work on. I can see how this would work in a design environment too.
On the other hand, there are some design principles that one might use to make more absolute judgements of “good” design.
I greatly appreciate how the text provides some design principles to refer to for critiques. As someone who just recently began their design journey, I often associated "critiques" with what "looked good." This POV is pretty misguided as it doesn't focus on usability or actual functionality (or the other principles mentioned) so I'm glad that I'll have a point of reference for future design critiques!
It’s respectful, with each person listening and accepting what the other person is saying. It’s collaborative, with each person contributing knowledge to the conversation. It’s grounded in design rationale and design judgement, focusing on why choices are made and why different choices were made, and how that might effect the success of the solution.
I really agree with what this paragraph is saying. I used to do a lot of art/design work, and critique is part of the most gone through stage but at the same time, I always find it really hard. We all have different thought process and how we approach problem is different. Critique is meant to be a little negative but at the same we always try to keep it positive by complimenting the good part of the idea and then add the potiential area of improvement. So it is like a collaborative work between people to come out with the best possible idea.
On the other hand, there are some design principles that one might use to make more absolute judgements of “good” design. Let’s start with some common, but vague principles, that are not particularly useful:Intuitive. Human beings are not born with much innate knowledge. What people mean when they use this word is that someone can infer from the information in a design what the purpose or intent of something is, based on all of the prior knowledge they’ve acquired in their life, including encounters with a long history of user interface conventions and domain concepts. That is not “intuitive,” but rather, closely mapped to someone’s knowledge.User-friendly. This is another imprecise phrase. What does it mean to be “friendly” with a user? Nice? Supportive? Helpful? This phrase suggests a lot without meaning a lot, and does not facilitate precise design critique.
This section makes me think about how the described definition of “good” design could be a double edged knife. Although I agree a design could be created as intuitive and user-friendly, I believe that will fully depend on the niche the designer has in mind when designing something. I believe it kind of bring us back to chapter one (or maybe 2?) where wherever we make a change to a given design, we benefit one group that will be using that design and negatively impacts another group that also will be using that design.
One way to avoid this harm, while still sharing harsh feedback, is to follow a simple rule: if you’re going to say something sharply negative, say something genuinely positive first, and perhaps something genuinely positive after as well. Some people call this the “hamburger” rule, other people call it a “shit sandwich.”
This part stood out to me because it explains the importance of balancing positive and negative feedback. I like how this approach makes critique feel more like collaboration than judgment. It reminds me that being critical doesn’t mean being harsh, it means helping someone improve while recognizing what’s already good. I think this mindset makes feedback more meaningful and encourages creativity instead of discouraging it.
Critiques are two-way. It is not just one person providing critical feedback, but rather the designer articulating the rationale for their decisions (why they made the choices that they did) and the critic responding to those judgements. The critic might also provide their own counter-judgements to understand the designer’s rationale further.
I found this statement to be interesting as this is not something I thought of. I always took critiques more as an one way definition so this is a new insight of perspective I am gaining from this reading. However, this got me questioning: If a certain design gets out to the world and gets criticized, would designer always be able to articulate the rationale? If not, is it not consdiered as a feedback coming from a user?
From a design justice perspective, this might mean arranging a critique session not with other designers, but with stakeholders, asking them to bring their lived experience and knowledge of their domain to critically analyzing your design.
I strongly agree with this suggestion because it brings us back to the core of the principle of design: designing for the user. But this practice also faces some of the same constraints as conducting user interviews: people will not always give you the honest answers due to perceived barriers or wanting to come off a certain way in order to meet social expectations. One method I found interesting to try is to gather a group of users/stakeholders and a facilitator who might be the designer, but is undisclosed to the participants, therefore removing frictions for the participants giving critiques out of their fear of offending/hurting the designer.

Identity Development in Adolescence
Growing up in an international school in Beijing, i was lucky to experience diversity at an early age, in my school there were Chinese, Koreans, Americans and all different ethnic groups, this in my opinion helped me to adapt to my college life at UCI since it is also a diverse environment.
Most children of color, Cross and Cross point out, "are socialized to develop an identity that integrates competencies for transacting race, ethnicity and culture in everyday life.
Personal Annotation: I relate to this idea because growing up, I also had to learn how to navigate between different cultural expectations. Whether it was at school, with friends, or at home, I often had to adjust how I expressed myself depending on who I was around. This passage reminds me that developing this kind of cultural flexibility is not just about fitting in—it’s a key part of understanding who I am and where I come from.
One thing that happens is puberty. As children enter adolescence , they begin to explore the question of identity, asking "Who am I? Who can I be?" in ways they have not done before.
Annotation: In this passage, Tatum explains that adolescence is a key stage for identity development, triggered by the physical and emotional changes of puberty. During this period, young people start to question who they are and who they want to become. This self-exploration marks an important shift from childhood to a more complex understanding of one’s personal and social identity.
ransition to this new understanding is typically precipitated by an event or series of events that force the young person to acknowledge the personal impact of racism. As the result of a new and heightened awareness of the significance of race, the individual begins to grapple with what it means to be a member of a group targeted by racism. Re-search suggests that this focused process of examination of one's racial or ethnic identity may begin as early as middle or junior high school
The new understanding of racial identity among teenagers is often the result of experiencing certain events or shocks, which forces them to confront the impact of racism on their own lives.
Most children of color, Cross and Cross point out, "are socialized to develop an identity that integrates competencies for transacting race, ethnicity and culture in everyday life."6 But how does that identity de-velopment take place in the life of a young Black adolescent? From early childhood through the preadolescent years, Black children are exposed to and absorb many of the beliefs and values of the dominant White culture, including the idea that Whites are the preferred group in US society. The stereotypes, omissions, and distortions that reinforce no-tions of White superiority are breathed in by Black children as well as White. Simply as a function of being socialized in a Eurocentric culture, some Black children may begin to value the role models, lifestyles, and images of beauty represented by the dominant group more highly than those of their own cultural group.
The stereotypes, omissions and distortions in society continuously reinforce this notion of "white superiority", and both black and white children will be affected by it.
n individual is not likely to explore all identity domains at once, therefore it is not unusual for an adolescent to be actively exploring one dimension while another remains relatively unexamined. Given the impact of dominant and subordinate status, it is not surprising thar researchers have found that adolescents of color are more likely co be actively engaged in an exploration of their racial or ethnic identity than are White adolescents. 2
It is unlikely for an individual to explore all the identity domains at the same time. Therefore, it is quite common that when teenagers are actively exploring one aspect, some other aspects may not have been carefully considered.
ne thing that happens is puberty. As children enter adolescence , they begin to explore the question of identity, asking "Who am I? Who can I be?" in ways they have not done before. For Black youth, asking "Who am I?" usually includes thinking about "Who am I ethnically and/or racially? What does it mean to be Black?
When children enter the teenage years, they begin to ponder questions like "Who am I? What kind of person can I become?" 。 For black teenagers, this process of identity exploration often also involves the aspects of race and ethnicity. "What does it mean to be black?" 。
LK INTO ANY RACIALLY MIXED HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA AT LUNCH-tune 3:11d you will instantly notice that in the sea of adolescent faces, there is an identifiable group of Black students sitting together. Con-versely, it could be pointed out that there are many groups of White students sitting together as well, though people rarely comment about that. The question on the tip of everyone's tongue is, "Why are the Black kids sitting together?" Principals want to know, teachers want to know, White students want to know, the Black students who aren't sitting at the table want to know.
This passage is not merely describing a dining scene; rather, it uses a mundane detail to bring up a deeper social issue: race.
Even as adults, forming relationships in a group setting requires risk. We must take chances not only to reach out and form a relationship, but also to foster and continue a relationship. This can be uncomfortable for all students, especially students with differences and disabilities. In our classrooms, a student may have tried to initiate and reinitiate contact and failed. Other students may have attempted to initiate conversation with a student who has a communication challenge and also failed. The combination of both behaviors can result in a “downgrade” of a student’s place within a group (see social identity theory earlier). In addition, these events may discourage a student from attempting to connect in the future.
I hadn’t fully thought about how much risk goes into forming relationships, especially for students with differences or communication challenges. It made me realize that when a student’s attempts to connect don’t go well, it can deeply affect their confidence and willingness to try again. As a future teacher, this helps me see how important it is to intentionally create opportunities for all students to build connections in a safe, supportive way so no one feels left out or discouraged.
Some classroom management issues can stem from anxiety. Many students with differences and disabilities are anxious during class because they are unsure about teacher expectations and what will be asked of them that day (Zeichner, 2003). It can be very helpful to have a written or pictorial schedule of activities or a rehearsal order for students to use as a guide. This alleviates anxiety regarding performance expectations. It also gives students an idea regarding the amount of time they will be asked to sit still, move about the classroom, pay close attention, or work in groups.
I really connect with this section because I’ve seen firsthand how much structure can help students feel calmer and more engaged. When students know what’s coming next, they’re less anxious and more willing to participate. I love the idea of using a visual or written schedule because it shows that the teacher cares about making the classroom predictable and welcoming for everyone. It reminds me how small adjustments like this can make a big difference in helping students feel secure and ready to learn.
tudents need regular praise for appropriate social and academic behaviors. Unfortunately, we can often find ourselves correcting behavior more often than praising great behavior.
I think this section is a great reminder that positive reinforcement is just as important as correction. Students thrive when their good choices are noticed and acknowledged. Focusing on praise helps build motivation and encourages students to repeat positive behaviors. It also creates a more supportive and uplifting classroom atmosphere where students feel valued for their efforts.
In these cases, create a special signal or gesture to let this student know that their behavior is not appropriate.
I think this part makes a really strong point about using subtle and respectful strategies to manage behavior. Creating a private signal helps maintain the student’s dignity while still addressing the issue in the moment. It also shows how teachers can be proactive and compassionate, focusing on communication rather than punishment. This kind of approach helps build trust and keeps the classroom environment positive and supportive for everyone
It is also important to point out that using the words “good behavior” and “bad behavior” can be problematic. If a student hears that they are exhibiting “bad” behavior often, the student can develop self-esteem issues. Even worse, the student can start to build an identity that is centered around “bad” behavior as a way of gaining the attention of the teacher. Just refer to behaviors as what they are: behaviors.
I really like this section because it shows how the language teachers use can deeply affect how students see themselves. Labeling behavior as good or bad can unintentionally make students believe those labels define who they are instead of what they do. It is an important reminder that our words matter and that describing behavior in clear and objective terms helps students focus on their actions rather than feeling personally judged.
ive? Comedian Impersonates FBI on Twitter, Makes MLK Assassination Joke. January 2020
For the summary of this link: it is talks about On Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2020, comedian Jaboukie Young White changed his Twitter profile picture and name to "FBI" and posted a satirical tweet. It is not first time he did such "joke". The detail of this journalist Jake Tapper's clues to remind readers of what did FBI do to MLK and to let readers themselves to decide whether it is joke or not. However, on my personal perspective, I think it is not ok for everyone making joke on a dead people, and MLK was a person who has had a great impact in the past. So this guys definitely know the posts can bring online popularity to him, so I don't think it is just a funny joke.

I believe I've actually heard about this before. This source talks about an old news broadcast on April fools day, 1957, where they show a family basically harvesting spaghetti from a tree. This is a good example of a "lighthearted" troll, as this was a joke and obviously not real. However some people did assume it as real as it's stated in the source that hundreds of people phoned in to ask how can they grow spaghetti on their own tree (that's funny to think about). So I guess this could be seen as perhaps maybe early presence of spreading "fake news" but this broadcast was made on context of April Fools Day, so it was meant to be a joke.

This article describes how a comedian pretended to be the official FBI account on Twitter and posted a joke about Martin Luther King Jr's assassination. While the intention may have been humor, the impersonation clearly crossed ethical boundaries by exploiting both historical trauma and public trust. I think this example connects directly to Chapter 7's discussion of trolling and "bad faith". The comedian's defense that it was "just a joke" mirrors the Schrodinger's asshole concept, using humor as a shield to deny accountability when the audience reacts negatively. It raises an important question: when dose satire stop being social commentary and start becoming harm disguised as entertainment.
g Powerful: Trolling sometimes
I really understand the interpretation of troll, cause nowadays we can find troll on many social media app. At first, I don't know why there are so many troll, but now I realized maybe they are just want to. Maybe show they are really smart and know beyond than others, but actually they just posts a troll. Or maybe they just want other people pay more attention on them and transfer the focus points. I think those kinds of people, they might just cannot get attention from others in reality so they will find a presence online. But now I know that maybe it just want to punish or stop. It brings a new idea for me, maybe next time I can focus on those points.
Feeling Smart: Going with the gatekeeping role above, trolling can make a troll or observer feel smarter than others, since they are able to see that it is trolling while others don’t realize it.
I've always had this same thought of "why do people take time out of their days to just troll via online or in person?". One of the ideas that I had originally was that it came from a place of sadness. Perhaps they aren't in the best situation at home or maybe they're going through something so they take it out on other people by "trolling" and to feel smarter than everyone else. I feel like this would be a good explanation as to why most people troll, specifically the ones who seem to do it out of spite and not in a comedic way.

But eventually we spoke of him less and less, and fewer and fewer of my thoughts would turn to him throughout the day. Now it was like those first days again where the thought of him would pop into my mind so much, except that I didn’t speak to Rami or Yama about it because I didn’t want to tell them that I didn’t know if I wanted to see Baba now. It wasn’t because Yama had repeatedly threatened over the years to let him know of all the infractions I had committed, especially when I would storm out of the French boardinghouse; I knew she wouldn’t. It was that I wondered how things would change with him now that he spent so long in America, and if we would still feel like family to him.

The assumption that society is the result of individuals, each acting in accordance with self-interest, is the very basis of utilitarianism.… Saussure, Durkheim, and Freud seem to have recognized that this view gets things the wrong way around. For human beings, society is a primary reality, not just the sum of individual activities… and if one wishes to study human behavior, one must grant that there is a social reality.… In short, linguistics and psychoanalytic psychology are possible only when one takes the meanings which are attached to and differentiate objects and actions in society as a primary reality.

I agree with this take
I’m not sure whether semiotics is a subject, a movement, a philosophy, or a cultlike religion.
Why would it be a cultlike religion?
Scott Bessent has aimed for lower bond yields, a cheaper dollar, cheap oil and strong stocks. Between them, they keep the economy juicing nicely, aid competitiveness and minimize the experience of inflation. And he’s getting all of them
motives?

the result is different from what I have in the posit cloud.
I would like to suggest that some of the problems may cer-tainly be as this young man relates. Yet, from my work with teachers in many settings, I have come to believe that a major portion of the problem may also rest with how these three groups of teachers interact and use language with their stu-dents. These differences in discourse styles relate to certain eth-nic and class groups. For instance, many African-American teachers are likely to give directives to a group of unruly stu-dents in a direct and explicit fashion, for example, "I don't want to hear it. Sit down, be quiet, and finish your work NOW!" Not only is this directive explicit, but with it the teacher also displays a high degree of personal power in the classroom. By contrast, many middle-class European-American teachers are likely to say something like, "Would you like to sit down now and finish your paper?", making use of an indirect command and downplaying the display of power. Partly because the first instance is likely to be more like the statements many African-American children hear at home, and partly because the second statement sounds to many of these youngsters like the words of someone who is fearful (and thus less deserving of respect), African-American children are more likely to obey the first explicit directive and ignore the second implied directive. The discussion of this issue is complex but in brief many ' ' ' of the difficulties teachers encounter with children who are different in background from themselves are related co this underlying attitudinal difference in the appropriate display of explicitness and personal power in the classroom. If teachers are to teach effectively, recognition of che impor-tance of student perception of teacher intent is critical. Prob-lems arising from culturally different interactional styles seem to disproportionately affect African-American boys, who, as a result of cultural influences, exhibit a high degree of physicality ,,,.
The issue of education is not only related to students, but also involves the language and interaction methods of teachers. Teachers from different backgrounds have different "discourse styles".
The clash between school culture and home culture is actual-ized in at least two ways. When a significant difference exists between the students' culture and the school's culture, teach-ers can easily misread students' aptitudes, intent, or abilities as a result of the difference in styles of language use and incer-actional patterns. Secondly, when such cultural differences exist, teachers may utilize styles of instruction and/or disci-pline that are at odds with community norms.
When there is a significant difference between the school culture and the family culture, two main problems arise. Firstly, teachers may misunderstand students' abilities or intentions due to differences in language and interaction styles.
In any discussion of education and culture, it is important to remember that children are individuals and cannot be made to fit into any preconceived mold of how they are "supposed" to act. The question is not necessarily how to cre-ate the perfect "culturally matched" learning situation for each ethnic group, but rather how to recognize when there is a problem for a particular child and how to seek its cause in the most broadly conceived fashion. Knowledge about culture is bur one tool that educators may make use of when devising solutions for a school's difficulty in educating diverse children.
In discussions about education and culture, children are individual entities and cannot be confined to a fixed pattern. The focus is not on designing a "perfect fit" learning environment for each ethnic group, but rather on identifying when a child encounters problems in their learning and looking for causes from a broad perspective.

It's incredibly common for these 6 series Smith-Coronas to have broken plastic carriage release levers (a major design flaw). You can call around to shops with parts machines for original replacements. https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html
There are numerous YouTube repair videos and ideas including these few I've bookmarked before, though there are surely others: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNcQvfUk23s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb9VlrKcXcM
I've not seen anyone 3-D print a version (yet), but designs for one might be floating around out there.
I've also seen people jury rig all sorts of plastic replacements which is an option as well.
In practice, you generally only need one working one for your dominant hand.
As you conduct research, you will want to take detailed, careful notes about your discoveries
important notes
Both its strengths and weaknesses are linked to the fact that Wikipedia is open to anyone, has a large contributor base, and contains articles written by consensus.
It's nice to see that people are understanding Wikipedia as a decent resource for information on the Internet. The thing about research and paper is that there is a lot of it and there is a variety of journals and articles of resources with all varying scholar and reliability. They're only a couple a few encyclopedias that are on the Internet made for research, wikipedia being one known for its open access and open source format. This allows for it to be approached from a communal sense allowing for a variety of experiences ideas and perspectives to be given, so often at the cost of credibility coming from an author that is renowned in their field for the subject.
Perhaps even after narrowing your research topic you still find an overwhelming amount of resources.
I think especially with the Internet and that being the primary space where people are researching, it could be especially hard and overwhelming finding resources. I think key trait of a researcher is flexibility and being able to understand the scope and resources you have your disposal when doing research. Even in the context of more professional work you are often given a certain budget a certain timeline that will restrict your project in a certain way. I think it's just essential that from the beginning you have a clear understanding of what your budget is quote unquote into sure to ask and refine with peers.
Addressing the state Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany in 2023
Even in old age, Weiss urged global resistance to racism and injustice
After her stint at The Guardian, Ms. Weiss left London and returned to Africa in 1970 as business editor of The Times of Zambia.
Her career spanned continents, from London and Zambia to Germany, where she became a respected witness to history
But she soon ran afoul of the government there — and of Prime Minister Ian Smith, who had declared the country’s independence from Britain
Weiss’s reporting on Rhodesia’s sanctions evasion led to her expulsion and eventual exile from southern Africa
“We covered the emergence of MK” — the military wing of the African National Congress, the oldest liberation movement in Africa — “the arrests and detentions, and the government’s decision to leave the Commonwealth
As a reporter, she covered the rise of South Africa’s liberation movements while under government scrutiny
Ms. Weiss wrote some of his articles for him, under his name — initially the ones dealing with economics, as she had worked for a large South African insurance company — and, in the process, she became a journalist.
She began her journalism career ghostwriting for her ill husband before establishing her own reputation
“Blacks under apartheid — Jews under the swastika. Was it all that different?” she asked in a lecture in Nuremberg
Weiss drew direct parallels between antisemitism and apartheid in her writing and speeches
Her long life and the hundreds of articles and many books she wrote were shaped by twin experiences of discrimination: first, as a girl, when her life was upended after the Nazis came to power in 1933, and then, three years later, when her family immigrated to Johannesburg
Her early life as a Jewish refugee shaped her lifelong opposition to oppression
Ruth Weiss, a South African journalist forged by the Nazi persecution she experienced as a child in Germany, who covered the malignant flowering of apartheid in the early 1960
Ruth Weiss survived Nazi persecution and went on to expose racial injustice in apartheid South Africa
Establishing the boundaries for your research may come from your instructor’s assignment guidelines.
I completely agree with this sentence I think establishing boundaries for your research is especially important but starting off with what your teacher has is important. For the context of academic papers written as a student your audience is a bit ambiguous generally speaking the only people who will read your academic papers is your professor and so understanding the guidelines and what necessarily the professor needs out of that paper is important. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that you not only can do research but that you are actively learning engaging and articulating the information you are researching. It's important that not only instructor headlines are clear and concise but also that in the moments that they aren't that we are asking and refining to ensure that it is an acceptable essay for the assignment.
There’s a saying in Japan, “All of us are smarter than any one of us.” And I would say that all of us are better than any one of us, no matter what the game is, business or sports.
This makes me think of my club lacrosse motto. It is We>Me. We had that written on all our shirts one year.
. And I would argue, and our data shows that the leaders that people love to work for, the coaches that people love, can be tough when they need to, but they’re basically caring
This reminds me of my mom. She can be tough at times, but she has built so much care that I know it is out of love. And that in turn makes me listen to her.
I think that being compelled into meditation to manage my anxiety as an undergrad helped me see that you can train your mind, that you can take control in a sense, not in a tight sense but an easygoing sense of what’s going on inside you.
This is a good reminder that growth doesn’t come from suppressing emotion. it comes from observing it with curiosity and calm. It takes discipline!!
Youth are addicted to social media, and this is a new phenomenon
This is 100% true. I even know it about myself, most of us are a this point. I don't think I'm as bad as some people, because some people let it spill out of just social media but overall my generation is mostly in some way addicted to social media.
Technological determinism is the belief that technologies are fully responsible for grand shifts in our world
Technology is always changing the world, and has always changed the world since tools and fire. every period in time is defined by what tech was invented and at the cutting edge. Each period's most important figures always include Politicians, Artists, and inventors. and it can even be argued that art is another kind of technology that is ever changing with the world. So two thirds of my list of who's important in a time period is inventors when you think about it.
it is also common to find social media use viewed as the downfall of society – a dystopia, or imagined society where everything is terrible
I think this is what would happen if social media was left un checked. But with cyber security laws and parents becoming more understanding of it it's moved away from that. People have become much more aware of things like fake new, engagement bait, and grifters that overall it's become a lot more sanitized, it's no longer the wild west of the internet.
relationships, work, social life, politics, government, and even life itself—through social media
I feel like with my generation who have been on the forefront of social media this rings truer for us. We have grown up right along side social media and it's populated our entire lives. We've been around long enough to see how our schools grew to handle social media. We post, like, comment, scroll and share. A giant chunk of our communication goes through there and it's weird for people my age to not be on social media.
Social media platforms, content, and algorithms influence societies, and societies influence them
Social media sites use whatever they can to get more clicks. So the most shocking stuff is going to be pushed to the forefront instead of what's really going on. I think back to the Tide pod "Trend" which exploded getting a ton of media coverage even though very few people were actually eating any tide pods. It was mostly jokes about it that the main stream media took seriously and started reporting on like crazy and the statistics they used were dishonest. The statistics they used were about death by cleaning supplies and those statistics were almost identical from years prior. But even with it not being real it still began a frenzy and scared a ton of people.
“Reopen protests”
These were genuinely so dumb. You could see the death tolls of coronavirus and they were still like let's go make it worse. I think the worst part about it was that it did in fact lead to more deaths and all because these people weren't allowed to leave their houses. Like be smart for two seconds and think critically about this like what motive would the government have to lie to you about a pandemic. It actively hurt our economy and these people were so excited to make it last longer.
highly critical of Black Lives Matter.
This is because of the mass misinformation campaigns aimed to hurt movement and make it more divisive. Which is why platforms like Facebook and Twitter had to implement fact checkers to combat misinformation on their sites.

“Boys throw stones at frogs in fun, but the frogs do not die in fun, but in earnest.”
This quote highlights how while trolls may think that they are just jokes made "in fun", they could cause pain "in earnest". The humor is one sided and inherently malicious because of how it is created at the real expense of another (humor created by killing/scaring frogs). This quote shows the thoughtlessness of human nature.
One set of the early Internet-based video games were Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs [g14]), where you were given a text description of where you were and could say where to go (North, South, East, West) and text would tell you where you were next. In these games, you would come across other players and could type messages or commands to attack them. These were the precursors to more modern Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGS [g15]). In these MUDs, players developed activities that we now consider trolling, such as “Griefing” where one player intentionally causes another player “grief” or distress (such as a powerful player finding a weak player and repeatedly killing the weak player the instant they respawn), and “Flaming” where a player intentionally starts a hostile or offensive conversation. In the 2000s, trolling went from an activity done in some communities to the creation of communities that centered around trolling such as 4chan [g16] (2003), Encyclopedia Dramatica [g17] (2004), and some forums on Reddit [g18] (2005).
I find it fascinating that trolling began as a kind of "inside joke" among early Internet users. What started as playful testing of newcomers' knowledge later evolved into behaviors that intentionally cause harm or humiliation. Reading about the shift from lighthearted pranks to toxic online cultures like 4chan made me realize how easily community norms can slide when cruelty becomes entertainment. It also connects to Sartre's idea of "bad faith" mentioned earlier, the troll's refusal to take words seriously allows them to avoid responsibility. It makes me wonder whether trolling is less about anonymity and more about disengagement from empathy.
The language is plain and conversational rather than literary,

Repetition sort of incantatory--like a spell: you have to say the same two words to access the memory.
Warhol's repetition seemed to mock art being a "one of a kind" type of thing. I imagine Brainard's primary use was to write as many memories down without stopping, and using the same two words could help. Also, I would venture that the repetition signals to the readers that the memories are mundane, basic, and, except for him, not particularly memorable.

La Prévention des Conflits d'Intérêts : Collectivités et Associations
Synthèse
Ce document de synthèse analyse les enjeux juridiques et pratiques liés à la prévention des conflits d'intérêts dans les relations entre les collectivités territoriales et les associations.
Basé sur les interventions d'experts juridiques et de formateurs d'élus, il met en lumière les risques pénaux encourus et propose des préconisations concrètes.
Les points critiques à retenir sont les suivants :
1. Le conflit d'intérêts n'est pas une infraction, mais un signal d'alerte. La situation devient délictuelle lorsqu'un élu ou un agent public, conscient de ce conflit, ne se déporte pas et participe à une décision, tombant ainsi sous le coup de la prise illégale d'intérêt, une infraction pénale sévèrement sanctionnée (jusqu'à 5 ans d'emprisonnement et 500 000 € d'amende).
Ce déport doit être total :
◦ Sortie physique de la salle du conseil durant les débats et le vote.
La responsabilité première incombe à chaque élu, qui doit s'auto-évaluer en permanence.
Pour sécuriser les décisions, il est préconisé de voter les subventions au cas par cas, de systématiser la déclaration des conflits en début de séance et de s'appuyer sur des ressources externes comme la Haute Autorité pour la Transparence de la Vie Publique (HATVP) et le référent déontologue, désormais obligatoire pour toutes les communes.
1. Le Cadre Juridique et les Risques Pénaux
L'analyse juridique, menée par Luc Brunet de l'Observatoire SMAC, souligne la nécessité de distinguer deux notions fondamentales qui sont souvent confondues.
Définitions Fondamentales : Conflit d'Intérêts vs. Prise Illégale d'Intérêt
Le conflit d'intérêts est une situation, tandis que la prise illégale d'intérêt est une infraction pénale qui découle de la mauvaise gestion de cette situation. Caractéristique Conflit d'Intérêts Prise Illégale d'Intérêt Nature
Une situation d'interférence entre un intérêt public et des intérêts (publics ou privés) de nature à influencer ou paraître influencer l'exercice d'une fonction.
Une infraction pénale. Le fait de prendre, recevoir ou conserver, directement ou indirectement, un intérêt de nature à compromettre son impartialité.
Source Légale Loi du 11 octobre 2013
Article 432-12 du Code pénal
Sanction
Aucune (ce n'est pas une infraction). La situation doit être prévenue ou résolue.
Jusqu'à 5 ans d'emprisonnement et 500 000 € d'amende.
"Le conflit d'intérêts, c'est la vie. Nous avons tous des conflits d'intérêts. [...] Là où c'est pas normal [...] c'est quand on va se dire 'je vais surtout pas le dire que je suis en situation de conflit d'intérêt'. Et c'est là qu'on franchit la ligne jaune et qu'on passe [...] du côté du code pénal avec le délit de prise illégale d'intérêt." - Luc Brunet
Le Champ d'Application Vaste de la Prise Illégale d'Intérêt
Le délit de prise illégale d'intérêt est l'infraction numéro un pour laquelle les élus locaux sont poursuivis. Son champ d'application est particulièrement étendu :
• Tous les domaines : Contrairement au délit de favoritisme (limité à la commande publique), il s'applique à toutes les décisions d'une collectivité : urbanisme, recrutement, vente de biens, et notamment les subventions aux associations.
• Intérêt moral ou familial : L'intérêt n'est pas nécessairement matériel ou financier.
• Absence de préjudice requis : L'infraction est constituée même si la collectivité n'a subi aucun préjudice, voire si elle a bénéficié de l'opération.
• Intérêts indirects : Le délit couvre les intérêts pris par personne interposée (conjoint, ascendants, descendants, mais aussi amis proches).
La jurisprudence retient une vision très large : "l'infraction s'arrête où le soupçon s'arrête".
• La notion d'apparence : Il ne faut pas seulement ne pas être en conflit d'intérêts, mais aussi ne pas donner l'apparence de l'être.
La Doctrine de la Haute Autorité pour la Transparence de la Vie Publique (HATVP)
La HATVP a établi une doctrine pour clarifier les niveaux de risque. Pour les relations avec les associations, le risque est considéré comme large.
• Zone Rouge (Risque Large) : Concerne la participation d'un élu au sein d'un organisme de droit privé, comme une association, que ce soit à titre personnel ou comme représentant de la commune.
• Règle Appliquée : Le déport général. L'élu concerné doit s'abstenir de participer à toute délibération relative à cet organisme, y compris en l'absence d'enjeu financier direct. Adhérent ou Dirigeant : Une Distinction Cruciale ?
La question se pose de savoir si un simple adhérent est soumis aux mêmes règles qu'un membre du bureau (président, trésorier, etc.).
• Position de la HATVP (Avis du 3 mai 2022) : Le simple fait d'être adhérent ne justifie pas un déport systématique.
Cependant, une analyse au cas par cas doit être menée en fonction de la nature de l'association, de son nombre d'adhérents et de l'objet de la délibération.
• Conseil de Prudence : Face à l'incertitude de l'analyse au cas par cas, il est recommandé aux simples adhérents, par mesure de sécurité, de se déporter systématiquement lors du vote d'une subvention.
2. Règles Pratiques et Préconisations La prévention repose sur une démarche rigoureuse et transparente.
Les Quatre Étapes de la Prévention
1. Identifier les situations à risque : L'élu doit se poser les bonnes questions sur ses liens personnels, familiaux ou associatifs en rapport avec les dossiers de la collectivité.
2. Déclarer le conflit d'intérêts : Conformément à la Charte de l'élu local, l'élu doit faire connaître ses intérêts personnels avant le débat et le vote.
3. Se déporter complètement : Le déport ne se limite pas au non-vote. L'élu ne doit participer ni à l'instruction du dossier, ni aux débats qui précèdent le vote.
4. Ne pas influencer : L'élu doit s'abstenir de toute intervention, même informelle ("tirer les ficelles par derrière").
Jurisprudence : Des Exemples Concrets et Marquants Deux cas illustrent la sévérité avec laquelle la justice appréhende ce délit :
• Le maire de Plougastel-Daoulas : Des élus membres du bureau d'une association ad hoc n'ont pas participé au vote de la subvention, mais sont restés dans la salle.
Ce simple fait a été jugé suffisant pour caractériser une influence et a conduit à leur condamnation pour prise illégale d'intérêt.
• Une commune rurale de 250 habitants : Des élus, membres du bureau d'une association organisant la fête du village, ont participé au vote d'une subvention de 250 €.
Ils ont été condamnés pour prise illégale d'intérêt suite à la plainte d'un opposant politique.
Ces exemples démontrent que ni la bonne foi, ni la poursuite de l'intérêt général, ni le faible montant de la subvention ne constituent des protections contre une condamnation.
Préconisations pour Sécuriser les Délibérations
• Pas de vote global : Les subventions aux associations doivent être votées une par une, jamais en bloc.
• Sortir de la salle : L'élu concerné doit physiquement quitter la salle du conseil avant le début des débats et ne revenir qu'une fois le point de l'ordre du jour traité. Cette sortie doit être consignée au procès-verbal.
• Instaurer un "tour de table" déontologique : En début de chaque conseil, le maire peut demander à chaque élu de signaler d'éventuels conflits d'intérêts au regard de l'ordre du jour.
3. Le Témoignage du Terrain : Entre Méconnaissance et Difficultés d'Application
Le témoignage de Sophie Van migom, directrice d'un centre de formation pour élus, révèle un décalage important entre les exigences légales et la perception des élus sur le terrain.
Une Prise de Conscience Limitée chez les Élus
Lors des formations, les préoccupations des élus portent majoritairement sur des questions techniques (conventionnement, prêt de matériel, contrôle financier).
Le risque de conflit d'intérêts est très rarement abordé spontanément, en particulier par les élus des petites communes.
"Sur 90 participants, je n'ai que deux élus qui m'ont parlé de conflit d'intérêt. [...] Les élus des petites communes ne se posent pas la question, alors qu'il y a forcément des interférences entre leur mandat électif, leur vie familiale, leur vie associative." - Sophie Van migom
Les Conséquences Pratiques et les Défis Opérationnels
L'application stricte des règles de déport peut engendrer des difficultés de fonctionnement :
• Problèmes de quorum : Dans une commune de 620 habitants, la mise en place de règles de déport strictes a conduit à ce que la moitié du conseil municipal sorte de la salle, empêchant le quorum d'être atteint. La seule solution est de reconvoquer le conseil, ce qui retarde la décision.
• Paralysie de l'action des élus : Un élu engagé pour son expertise associative (ex: président de l'association des parents d'élèves devenu adjoint aux écoles) peut se retrouver dans l'incapacité d'agir sur les dossiers pour lesquels il a été élu.
Les Doubles Sanctions : Pénale et Administrative Le non-respect des règles de déport expose l'élu et la collectivité à un double risque :
1. Le risque pénal : L'élu est poursuivi pour prise illégale d'intérêt et le maire pour complicité.
2. Le risque administratif : La délibération elle-même est illégale.
Elle peut être annulée par le juge administratif suite à un recours d'un opposant, d'un contribuable ou du préfet. L'association pourrait alors être contrainte de rembourser la subvention perçue.
4. Outils et Bonnes Pratiques
La Responsabilité Personnelle de l'Élu
C'est à chaque élu d'évaluer sa propre situation, d'informer le maire et le conseil, et de prendre la décision de se déporter.
Cette réflexion doit être menée dès le début du mandat pour clarifier les limites de ses fonctions.

eLife Assessment
This important study presents a novel approach to enhance the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by genetically modifying their glycogen synthesis pathway, resulting in increased glycogen accumulation and improved cell survival under starvation conditions, particularly in the context of experimental pulmonary fibrosis. The methods and findings are generally solid and could be strengthened in the future by investigating the kinetics of persistence, the immunomodulatory effects, and the underlying improved mechanism of action of MSCs in this pulmonary fibrosis model. If confirmed, this approach could suggest potential methods to improve the therapeutic functionality of MSCs in cell therapy strategies.
Reviewer #1 (Public review):
Summary:
This study provides the first evidence that glucose availability, previously shown to support cell survival in other models, is also a key determinant for post-implantation MSC survival in the specific context of pulmonary fibrosis. To address glucose depletion in this context, the authors propose an original, elegant, and rational strategy: enhancing intracellular glycogen stores to provide transplanted MSCs with an internal energy reserve. This approach aims to prolong their viability and therapeutic functionality after implantation.
Strengths:
The efficacy of this metabolic engineering strategy is robustly demonstrated both in vitro and in an orthotopic mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis.
Reviewer #2 (Public review):
Summary:
In this article, the authors investigate enhancing the therapeutic and regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through genetic modification, specifically by overexpressing genes involved in the glycogen synthesis pathway. By creating a non-phosphorylatable mutant form of glycogen synthase (GYSmut), the authors successfully increased glycogen accumulation in MSCs, leading to significantly improved cell survival under starvation conditions. The study highlights the potential of glycogen engineering to improve MSC function, especially in inflammatory or energy-deficient environments. However, critical gaps in the study's design, including the lack of validation of key findings, limited differentiation assessments, and missing data on MSC-GYSmut resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS), necessitate further exploration.
Strengths:
(1) Novel Approach: The study introduces an innovative method of enhancing MSC function by manipulating glycogen metabolism.
(2) Increased Glycogen Storage: The genetic modification of GYS1, resulting in GYSmut, significantly increased glycogen accumulation, leading to improved MSC survival under starvation, which has strong implications for enhancing MSC therapeutic properties in energy-deficient environments.
(3) Potential Therapeutic Impact: The findings suggest significant therapeutic potential for MSCs in conditions that require improved survival, persistence, and immunomodulation, especially in inflammatory or energy-limited settings.
(4) In Vivo Validation: The in vivo murine model of pulmonary fibrosis demonstrated the improved survival and persistence of MSC-GYSmut, supporting the translational potential of the approach.
Weaknesses:
(1) Lack of Differentiation Assessments: The study did not evaluate key MSC differentiation pathways, including chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation. The absence of analysis of classical MSC surface markers and multipotency limits the understanding of the full potential of MSC-GYSmut.
(2) Missing Validation of RNA Sequencing Data: Although RNA sequencing data revealed promising transcriptomic changes in chondrogenesis and metabolic pathways, these findings were not experimentally validated, limiting confidence.
(3) Lack of ROS Resistance Analysis: Resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS), an important feature for MSCs under regenerative conditions, was not assessed, leaving out a critical aspect of MSC function.
(4) Limited Exploration of Immunosuppressive Properties: The study did not address the immunosuppressive functions of MSC-GYSmut, which are critical for MSC-based therapies in clinical settings.
Conclusion:
The study presents an exciting new direction for enhancing MSC function through glycogen metabolism engineering. While the results show promise, key experiments and validations are missing, and several areas, such as differentiation capacity, ROS resistance, and immunosuppressive properties, require further investigation. Addressing these gaps would solidify the conclusions and strengthen the potential clinical applications of MSC-GYSmut in regenerative medicine.
Author response:
The following is the authors’ response to the original reviews.
Reviewer #1 (Public Review):
(1) Glycogen biosynthesis typically involves several enzymes. In this context, could the authors comment on the effect of overexpressing a single enzyme - especially a mutant version - on the structure or quality of the glycogen synthesized?
While quantitative molecular weight analysis of synthesized glycogen was not performed, we documented changes in glycogen particle morphology. GYSmut overexpression resulted in significantly enlarged singular glycogen granules, suggesting potential high molecular mass, while GYS-GYG co-overexpression in MSCs (GYG being the essential enzyme for glycogen synthesis initiation) produced a diffuse glycogen distribution pattern rather than particulate structures. We have incorporated this result as new Figure S2C.
These results suggest that overexpression of specific glycogen-metabolizing enzymes significantly influences glycogen structure. Consequently, targeted modulation of glycogen architecture and properties through key enzymes represents a potential avenue for future investigation.
(2) Regarding the in vitro starvation experiments (Figure 2C), what oxygen conditions (pO₂) were used? Are these conditions physiologically relevant and representative of the in vivo lung microenvironment?
Our in vitro starvation experiments (Figure 3C) were conducted under normoxic (21%). The oxygen concentration in human lungs is physiologically lower than atmospheric levels, with healthy individuals exhaling air containing approximately 16% oxygen (Thalakkotur Lazar Mathew, Diagnostics 2015). To our knowledge, direct measurements of alveolar oxygen concentration in pulmonary fibrosis are rare. Therefore, to evaluate the performance of GYSmut under hypoxic conditions, in the revised manuscript, Figure S2 has been augmented to include assessment of cell performance under combined hypoxia (oxygen concentration < 5%)and nutrient deprivation stress, which further corroborate the superiority of the GYSmut group over the control under different oxygen concentrations.
(3) In the in vitro model, how many hours does it take for the intracellular glycogen reserve to be completely depleted under starvation conditions?
While quantitative cell viability data were recorded up to 72 hours post-implantation (Fig 3C), we observed cell viability at approximately 96 hours. We noticed that the presence of glycogen particles exhibited a correlation with sustained cell viability. However, reliable quantitative assessment of glycogen became increasingly challenging upon significant depletion of viable cells, thereby limiting our measurements during later time points.
(4) For the in vivo model, is there a quantitative analysis of the survival kinetics of the transplanted cells over time for each group? This would help to better assess the role and duration of glycogen stores as an energy buffer after implantation.
We tracked the in vivo distribution and persistence of implanted MSCs using enzymatic activity quantification assays (using Gluc luciferase assay) and live animal imaging (using Akaluc luciferase). The revised manuscript includes quantitative analysis of the in vivo fluorescence imaging data, which has been supplemented as Figure S4. Glycogen-engineered MSCs and control cells were quantitatively assessed at three discrete time points post-implantation. This quantification revealed a transient divergence in cell viability between the experimental and control groups around day 7. However, fluorescence in both cohorts subsequently declined to similar levels over the extended observation period.
(5) Finally, the study was performed in male mice only. Could sex differences exist in the efficacy or metabolism of the engineered MSCs? It would be helpful to discuss whether the approach could be expected to be similarly effective in female subjects.
We appreciate the reviewer’s important question regarding potential sex differences. Our study used male mice based on three key considerations: 1) Clinical Relevance: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) shows significant male predominance, with diagnosis rates 3.5-fold higher in men (37.8% vs 10.6%, p<0.0001) and greater diagnostic confidence (Assayag et al., Thorax 2020). 2) Model Consistency: The bleomycin model (our chosen method) demonstrates more consistent fibrotic responses in male mice (Gul et al., BMC Pulm Med 2023). 3) Biological Rationale:
Estrogen’s protective effects in females may confound therapeutic assessments (cited in Assayag et al.).
We fully acknowledge this limitation and will include female subjects in subsequent translational studies. The therapeutic principle should theoretically apply to both sexes, but we agree this requires experimental validation.
(6) The number of mice for each group and time point should be specified.
The manuscript text has been revised to enhance clarity, and the number of mice for each group and time point has been specified (line 170 to 182).
Reviewer #2 (Public Review):
(4) Inconsistencies in In Vivo Data: There is a discrepancy between the number of animals shown in the figures and the graph (three individuals vs. five animals), as well as missing details on how luciferase signal intensity was quantified, requiring further clarification.
To assess MSC survival in vivo, we employed two strategies utilizing distinct luciferases optimized for specific detection modalities. MSC viability was quantified ex vivo through Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) activity, leveraging its high sensitivity and established commercial assay kits (n = 3 mice per group per time point). For non-invasive longitudinal tracking within living animals, MSC distribution and viability were monitored via in vivo bioluminescence imaging using Akaluc luciferase, selected for its superior tissue penetration and sensitivity in situ (n = 5 mice per group).The manuscript text has been revised to enhance clarity, and the experiment protocols for luciferase signal detection and quantification has been added into Methods.
(1) (2) (3) (5):
We fully agree that further investigation into the functional consequences of glycogen engineering in MSCs – encompassing core cellular functions, immunomodulatory properties, and associated signaling pathways – is important to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Cellular metabolism is intrinsically intertwined with diverse physiological processes. Consequently, we believe that glycogen engineering exerts multifaceted effects on MSCs, likely extending beyond the modulation of any single specific pathway. Studying the metabolic perturbation induced by such engineering approaches in mammalian cells represents an interesting field. The exploration of these aspects remains an long-term research objective within our group.
Reviewer #2 (Recommendations for the authors):
(6) Clarification of Data in the Murine Model:
In Figure 4B, there is a discrepancy between the number of animals shown in the image (five) and those represented in the graph (three). This discrepancy needs clarification. Additionally, the study lacks information regarding the intensity of the signal in the luciferase assays. It is unclear how luciferase expression in the mice was quantified, and providing this detail would enhance the understanding of the data presented.
We sincerely appreciate these valuable suggestions. We have revised the relevant text for greater clarity. Figure 4B and Figure 4C present results from two distinct experimental approaches, each employing different luciferase reporters and measurement methodologies, and different num of mice were used in these two experiments.
Quantitative data derived from the in vivo bioluminescence imaging has been supplemented as Figure S4. The experiment protocols for luciferase signal detection and quantification has been added into Methods.
To other recommendations of reviewer 2:
We sincerely appreciate your valuable insights, which demonstrate your deep expertise. We fully agree that beyond nutrient availability, factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the immune microenvironment are also critical limitations affecting the survival and therapeutic efficacy of implanted MSCs.
We propose that glycogen engineering exerts broad effects on MSCs. These effects manifest as changes in multiple cellular characteristics, including proliferation, differentiation, surface marker expression, antioxidant capacity, and immunomodulatory activity – all crucial factors for the therapeutic purpose of MSCs.
We believe these changes likely involve complex networks of interconnected regulatory factors. The underlying mechanisms might be clarified through proteomic and metabolomic profiling.
However, comprehensively investigating these interconnected aspects requires significant time and resources. Some components of this research extend beyond the current scope of our project. Nevertheless, exploring these mechanisms remains an important objective, and we will actively work to investigate them further in our ongoing studies.
Addition-ally, future work may study heterogeneous responses based onracial or ethnic identity or gender.
There are racial and ethnic factors that play a big role in this question. Generally, POC spend more time with extended family than white people.
TheATUS data contains well-being responses that were collected afew hours after interactions, rather than in real time. Although thisremains a minimal concern, we suggest caution when comparingthese findings to experiential sampling studies
There are limits to this study. The responses weren't collected in real time, there's no results for long-term responses, and there's a need to better measure the quality of social interactions. Compare the results with caution
This pattern suggestsnonparent role models play an important compensatory role infamily interactions for adolescents in stepfamilies
Extended family benefits are more compensatory
Older siblings, therefore, played apositive role in the daily well-being of their younger siblingswithout sacrificing their own well-being
older siblings play a more valuable role than younger siblings, but they still both can improve well-being
suggesting that infrequent and brief contact limited the benefitsof this type of contact.
I wonder if the long-term stressors are because of this factor, or other factors?
This finding has noteworthy importance con-sidering the documented long-term consequences of stress on thedevelopment and health of the youth brain
this study reveals benefits that add to the study of long-term consequences of stepparents on adolescents.
suggest that there isnot a single universal path for adolescents and stepparents to builda strong relationship.
strong stepparent relationships depend on each individual child and stepparent.
This lack ofresponse to parents may come from a lack of inclination
is this because they didn't feel inclined to spend time with the stepparent? Or both parents because the parents are spending more time together?
sharing time with younger siblingsmarginally decreased feelings of sadness, suggesting that despitesome level of conflict in sibling relationships

while there are benefits to interacting with other family members, the most important members are still the parents, which is why most studies are sone on parent-child relationships.
which suggested benefits to spending time with multiplefamily members.
While parental relationships are most important, studies revealed that interacting with both parents was more beneficial, suggesting benefits to interacting with multiple family members.
This study used the ATUS to examine differences in responsesto social interactions by family structure, underscoring the impor-tance of social interactions with family members as a criticalcontext of adolescent development. Scrutinizing adolescent socialinteractions allowed us to understand how adolescents interactwith family members and how they feel during interactions. Thestudy was also conducted to provide insight into the lived experi-ences of adolescents hailing from different family structures, pro-viding relevant information for parents, clinicians, and social sci-entists.
This study was important in expanding our knowledge of adolescent development because it studied more than just immediate and parent-child relationships. It revealed the importance of interacting with other family members and how each member affcets adolescents
ATUS
The American Time Use Survey- conducted annually to gather info about how people allocate their time. (Work, Family, Leisure, etc.)
acompensation theory
compensation theory- when individuals adjust their behavior in response to perceived disadvantages or transgressions
congruence theory
congruence theory- model of attitude adjustments made after a person receives new info. (initially separate attitudes become connected after learning new info)
Al-though there is evidence that extended family interactions may bemost beneficial for younger children in single-parent households
why is it most beneficial for them? I'm guessing it has something to do with how much time the parent spends trying to fulfill both parental roles.
Interacting withand caring for younger siblings is a practice that occurs regularlyand broadly across household types (Wikle, Jensen, & Hoagland,2018), and adolescent affect during this type of contact deservesmore attention.
Interacting with younger sibling is common, but the effect on adolescents isn't studied enough. We mostly have results of affects older siblings have
Thus, pos-itive forces (e.g., parental support) and negative forces (e.g., dif-ficulty spending time together) likely mesh during adolescentinteractions with nonresident parents, perhaps resulting in variableemotions during youth interactions with nonresident parents.
The role resident parents play during interactions with nonresident parents can affect the emotions adolescents have when interacting with nonresident parents
social capital
social capital- the value (advancing the goals of individuals and groups) from positive connections and relationships between individuals
Because parent– child relationships remain central to a familysystem, factors affecting parent– child relationships, such as familycomplexity in stepfamilies and single-parent families, alter allfamily interactions, family alliances, and family boundaries
Other family relationships are affected by parent-child relationships and any factor that affects a parent-child relationship, affects all family relationships (interactions, alliances, and boundaries)
social learning theory
Social learning theory- learning that occurs through observation, imitation, and modeling ex: kids will learn how to positively interact with other family members because they learned out to socially interact w their parents.
These differences likelyhave consequences for other family interactions. Notions of com-pensation (Noller, 2005) suggest that youths in nonnuclear familiesmay systematically seek out and differentially benefit from inter-actions with siblings and extended family members to counteractabsence of one parent in the household or difficulty spending timewith resident parents (Derkman, Engels, Kuntsche, Van der Vorst,& Scholte, 2011). On the other hand, congruence suggests thatpositive interactions with parents spill into positive interactionswith other family members due to a social learning theory mech-anism
Parent-child interactions in a nonnuclear home (such as single parents or stepparents) can have resulting consequences for other family interactions. Both examples showed benefit of interacting with other family members. One by seeking out positive interactions with other members, and the other by a social learning theory.
Thus, the exploration of several dimensions ofemotional responses provides a rich and nuanced view of adoles-cent core affect during social interactions
exploring the different moods and responses children have when interacting with different family members (not just nuclear) provides us with a more in depth and nuanced view of adolescent core-affect
coreaffect

students who do not see their identities represented in their course materials may feel that their identities are not valued and respected and may be dissuaded from sharing their renewable assignments.
Another example of how important representation and how detrimental a lack of it is.
Because renewable assignments are likely unfamiliar to most students, it is possible that there would be concerns about competence relative to traditional assignments with which students may have more experience.
I imagine that introducing renewable assignments would require a ton of set up and building a foundation for the students so they understand the concept, reasoning etc. before getting started.
With renewable assignments, students are often given options regarding what they create
Giving student options so that they can create something meaningful to them is so important!

Basic TechniquesRoutine child guidance practices should include but are not limited to thefollowing:
This entire section can be useful for educators working on developing Guidance Policies. Preventative measures are key in, well, preventing any unwanted situations. I think it's important for educators to self-reflect and make sure they are promoting a safe, kind, and appropriate environment before introducing the children to it.
The teacher/providermay only hold the child long enoughto remove him/her from the dangeroussituation and when appropriate, returnhim/her to safety
This reminds me of a time last summer when a child climbed to the top of the monkey bars, and was incapable of getting down to try to get down. She cried as everyone looked on. I offered suggestions such as scooting across to the lowest part where she could safely get down onto the connected playground structure. As well as holding onto the monkey bars and slipping through the middle, and safely dropping on the floor. However, she was too scared to try anything, remaining frozen in fear at the top.
After about 15 minutes, the teacher and I decided to have me remain on the floor and lift her tiny hands from clenching onto the monkey bars. At the same time, the main teacher went behind the student, picked her up, and passed her to me to help set her down safely onto the playground structure. Although the student was scared, she was relieved to be out of the situation. It surprised me that there were regulations set for instances like this. This is really good to know for any future situations.
Two of the key findings from the study From Neurons toNeighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development are: 1) Healthyearly development depends on nurturing and dependable relationships; and, 2)How young children feel is as important as how they think particularly withregard to school readiness
In some cases, children may come from a home where neither of these two key concepts of child development are present. What are ways that educators can mitigate an/or work our way around any possible negative results in school environment stemming from the lack of these two key concepts?

The varianceexplained.org analysis of Trump’s tweets is a great example of how data science can uncover patterns behind online personas — it really connects to this chapter’s discussion of authenticity. I found it fascinating how statistical language analysis can expose who’s “really” speaking behind a public account, showing that authenticity online can sometimes be measured rather than just perceived.

It feels like Schrodinger's Asshole's have become so much more prominent online in recent years and I think its a consequence of how cynical people have become.

The Take. A Tale of Two Jennifer Lawrences. April 2022. URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7aq1bHXuY8&t=641s (visited on 2023-11-24).
I think this video on Jennifer Lawrence is a perfect example of online personas, and people's parasocial relationships with celebrities. Jennifer Lawrence in the video is said the be the ultimate cool girl. Doing things like hanging out her her male co stars, casually eating junk food while maintaining a slim figure, and being unfiltered. A stark contrast from her often serious and tough roles-- such as Katniss Everdeen. This left a lot of people speculating if her "cool girl" personality was even real, or just something she contrived to seem more relatable. So as this shows, no matter how Jennifer Lawrence acts, she will always have people questioning the authenticity of what she choose to display to the public, despite them not even knowing her in person.

When reading this source, about COVID-19, one factor that I realized was the number of fatality's that were encountered for. It seems like this source actually undermines the actual number, perhaps to make people less in a panic. However, this could lead to the majority of the public to be untrusting of the sources giving them data, which in turn will lead to future reportings not being taken as serious.

I remember back when this happened, when Twitter was still X. So many people cried out in anger when Trump was banned, claiming that free speech was being infringed upon. But Twitter was a private company that had the right to ban whoever it wanted. The reaction so many people, including Elon Musk and Trump himself, I feel was the writing on the walls to Musk eventually purchasing Twitter. But also looking into the question of authenticity, and seeing that Trump may have had a team specifically hired to post inflammatory rhetoric really speaks to how difficult moderation is on the internet, and how much the platform of Twitter has changed as Musk took over.

Like the Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol that Signal has used since its start, KEM is a key encapsulation mechanism. Also known as a key agreement mechanism, it provides the means for two parties who have never met to securely agree on one or more shared secrets in the presence of an adversary who is monitoring the parties’ connection. RSA, ECDH, and other encapsulation algorithms have long been used to negotiate symmetric keys (almost always AES keys) in protocols including TLS, SSH, and IKE. Unlike ECDH and RSA, however, the much newer KEM is quantum-safe.

How do you think about the authenticity of the Tweets that come from Trump himself? Do you think it matters which human typed the Tweet? Does the emotional expression (e.g., anger) of the Tweet change your view of authenticity?
I think authenticity as to who is actually making post on any social media is very important. With Donald Trump any tweet on his account is assumed to be his as it was his personal account, so having knowledge that another person was making tweets under his name is certainly frustrating.

We value authenticity because it has a deep connection to the way humans use social connections to manage our vulnerability and to protect ourselves from things that threaten us. When we form connections, it is like all our respective vulnerabilities get entangled and tied together. We depend on each other, so if you betray me I face a loss in wellbeing. But also, since you did that, now you face a loss in wellbeing, as I no longer have your back. That means that both of us have an incentive not to betray or take advantage of each other, for our mutual protection.
I was struck by the tension in the chapter between authenticity as honesty and authenticity as the matching of presentation and interaction. The idea that social media personas can “feel” authentic even when they’re partly performed makes me wonder: in platforms driven by algorithms and engagement metrics, do we discourage real authenticity because performative authenticity “wins” more often?

Processen om informatie te verplaatsen = - ophalen (nadenken over het verleden), tegenhanger coderen, van LMT naar STM. - coderen = iets proberen te onthouden voor de toekomst, dit is actief en bewust - aandacht = aandacht schenken aan een informatiebron, zodat zintuiglijke input naar ons werkgeheugen gaat.
She believed Mr. Rogers knew her (or was at least close enough that he would come over to visit). This belief was almost certainly false. He may have known who she was for a brief moment when responding to this letter (or signing one his secretary wrote or something).
Parasocial relationships are so common nowadays, especially in pop culture. We see this behavior done with fans of artist, fans of movies, or social media influencers. I believe that there is a difference between "admiring" someones work and then "obsessing" over someones work. There should be a clear line between the two, and some people don't have that thinking. In this example, we see that this lady believes Mr. Rodgers knows of her. While this is true in someway, he doesn't really "know" her. He just acknowledges her. But to this girl she genuinely believes that she is a part of his life.
In what ways are you in parasocial relationships?
I personally wouldn't say that I am in any parasocial relationships with media figures or people in my life currently. I was however in a lot of parasocial relationships as a child with characters like SpongeBob, Finn from adventure time, and various other shows and cartoons.
Biologists have traditionally classified all living organisms into two major groups, the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes (Figure 2.1). A prokaryote is a unicellular organism with a relatively simple cell structure. **A eukaryote has a compartmentalized cell structure with components bounded by intracellular membranes; eukaryotes may be either unicellular or multicellular.
