Python wrapper for hypothes.is This week, I plan to revisit rdhyee/hypothesisapi: A Python wrapper for the nascent hypothes.is web API to update or abandon it in favor of new developments. (For example, I should look at kshaffer/pypothesis: Python scripts for interacting with the hypothes.is API.)

Involving owners in page annotation In the past months we launched a small research initiative to gather different points of view about website publishers and authors consent to annotation.  Our goal was to identify different paths forward taking into account the perspectives of publishers, engineers, developers and people working on abuse and harassment issues. We have published a first summary of our discussion on our blog post about involving page owners in annotation.

“By essentially endorsing Duterte’s murderous war on drugs, Trump is now morally complicit in future killings,” said John Sifton, the Asia advocacy director of Human Rights Watch. “Although the traits of his personality likely make it impossible, Trump should be ashamed of himself.”

The public editor’s take: I’m on the record as an advocate for discarding courtesy titles altogether. As The Times tries to reach a younger audience, referring to Mrs. or Ms. or Mr. seems stuck in the past. But if we can do it only one at a time, let’s start with Mrs.

simplifying the code for configuring the DMPTool add-on. You might notice that a lot of code at https://github.com/rdhyee/osf.io/tree/feature/dmptool/website/addons/dmptool/static will be more complicated than necessary. The reason is that I wanted code to allow a user to 1) select a repo from a dropdown and then 2) enter the api token for that repo.

Also, I don't recall if we discussed the permissions issue, but is there anyway for a user to restrict which plans appear in this addon? Right now it looks like it shows everything or nothing. I don't know if we need to work that out now, but it would be good to keep in mind.

I think this needs some custom Fangorn config. When I click on my plan in the Files tab, I don't get any buttons in the fangorn toolbar. For readonly files, I'd expect to see "Download", "View", and "View on DMPTool.org" buttons. For the root folder, I'd expect a Download-As-Zip button.

Please add a README.md to the directory explaining what is needed to set this up. I know it's pretty much entirely self-configuring, but it would be good to document it as such. See the README.mds of the other provider for examples.

“I didn’t want this job. I didn’t seek this job.” He paused to let that sink in. A beat or two passed before an aide piped up to ask him why he said yes. “My wife told me I’m supposed to do this.”

An online survey of 1,000 people taken this month by the new resistance group CitizenBe found that while average resisters took 2.5 actions like calling their member of Congress last month, they’re only willing to take half that many next month. A survey of Wall-of-Us members found that while their favorite activity was marching in protest, their least favorite was making phone calls on behalf of the resistance. These behavioral researchers are trying to figure out how to keep these acts of resistance “fun” for newbies — and how often to ask them to do things. “We have a lot of evidence suggesting that if you do something once, you’re less likely to do something similar if you have the opportunity,” said Julie O’Brien, one of the scientists who conducted the CitzenBe survey. “If you do something emotionally exhausting and you’ve invested a lot of effort in it and it doesn’t feel that great, then you’re not going to be energized to do something again.” The concern is that activists feel that because they, for example, participated in the Women’s March or called their member of Congress a couple of times they can “check that box” and return to their usual life. Instead, movement organizers need to habituate these resistance activities, O’Brien said. “What (the results) tells us is that we need to really, really strategically think about how we craft that behavior,” she said. “ If we want somebody to call (Congress), we can tell them, ‘Pour yourself a glass of wine and call.’ Or ‘Find your best friends and have a calling party.’ Find ways to make it pleasurable.”

In a post on the Genius blog at the time, co-founder Tom Lehman told employees that Genius planned to shift its emphasis away from the annotation platform that once attracted top-tier investors in favor of becoming a more video-focused media company.

The policy also expands a program that lets officials bypass due process protections such as court hearings in some deportation cases.Under the Obama administration, the program, known as “expedited removal,” was used only when an immigrant was arrested within 100 miles of the border and had been in the country no more than 14 days. Now it will include all those who have been in the country for up to two years, no matter where they are caught.

Sharing Tags By default, the git push command doesn’t transfer tags to remote servers. You will have to explicitly push tags to a shared server after you have created them. This process is just like sharing remote branches – you can run git push origin [tagname]. $ git push origin v1.5 Counting objects: 14, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (12/12), done. Writing objects: 100% (14/14), 2.05 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 14 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0) To git@github.com:schacon/simplegit.git * [new tag] v1.5 -> v1.5 If you have a lot of tags that you want to push up at once, you can also use the --tags option to the git push command. This will transfer all of your tags to the remote server that are not already there. $ git push origin --tags Counting objects: 1, done. Writing objects: 100% (1/1), 160 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) To git@github.com:schacon/simplegit.git * [new tag] v1.4 -> v1.4 * [new tag] v1.4-lw -> v1.4-lw Now, when someone else clones or pulls from your repository, they will get all your tags as well.

God Is Not Elsewhere That’s according to St. Benedict, and it’s the guiding principle behind our current Appreciative Inquiry process. If God is here, and the Spirit is moving, inviting, guiding, how do we know? What does that look like? In order to better understand these essential questions, parishioners are meeting in small groups, mostly on Sundays, and telling our stories to each other. As a participant, you’ll have an opportunity to reflect on times when you’ve felt most alive and engaged as a member of All Souls. How do you find Jesus here? How have others experienced their faith? By sharing our individual experiences, we can see the many unique ways that God has touched each of us. Sitting in a circle last Sunday, listening to responses, I was moved by the varieties of experiences, all the manifold ways we connect to God and each other. The Spirit became alive through story, as It lives in us each day, and your own shared story can be a gift and a catalyst to our community. By noticing the ways the Spirit has moved among us, we better discern a life-giving path, moving forward. The group itself was a mustard seed-moment, full of potential. Gathered and attentive, we are witness to the power of the Holy to touch and move us in common yet profound ways. What is God inviting us into? How will we respond? By prayerfully collating data, of course. After collecting experiences from each small group, the Appreciative Inquiry Leadership Group will look at all of the notes to uncover themes that emerge. These findings will go to the vestry for further discernment and planning purposes. Appreciative Inquiry incorporates four steps: choose a focus for inquiry; inquire into stories of life-giving focus; locate themes and select areas for further development; find innovative ways to create that future. What is God calling us to? Where is God moving? In case you’re still mystified by the process, I’ll admit that a newsletter article cannot fully communicate the beauty and force of the Holy Spirit unleashed by or upon a group of faithful seekers. Perhaps the poet Mary Oliver says it best: “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” So please join us by signing up for a small group here. – Madeline Feeley for the Appreciative Inquiry Leadership Group (Anne Cockle, Gretchen Donart, Sheryl Fullerton, Howard Perdue, Martha Perdue, and Raymond Yee)

To see Donald Trump (or for that matter Milo Yiannopoulos) as an identified patient in our national system does not mean that we remove that person from accountability. I write this not to diminish the effects of their actions, simply that seeing them only in this light is ultimately counter-productive. But is does means that we have responsibility and opportunity. Responsibility in that we are members of a sick body, and as Christians are called to do our part to provide balm and healing. Opportunity in that there is not much likelihood that our actions by themselves will directly affect President Trump—but there are myriad possibilities to work for justice, reconciliation, and righteousness in our neighborhoods, cities, regions, states, and networks that reach beyond our borders. Each of can work towards the health of this body. By many measures, it appears to me that this nation, the cultural construct of the people who live between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts and the borders of Canada and Mexico, that we are sick. And that we have been sick for some time—some will argue for a decade or more, others that it’s been for centuries. No matter the duration, the cure simply will not be found in actions, inactions, or even removal of a President.

At airports around the world, the legal tug of war played out in starkly human terms, with travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries having to decide whether to board flights to the United States, unsure of whether they would be turned back once they landed.Yet here, in the cosseted confines of Mar-a-Lago, those concerns seemed a million miles away. The guests had gathered for the 60th annual Red Cross ball, a staple of the Palm Beach social calendar, which this year carried the theme “From Vienna to Versailles.”In keeping with the Hapsburg and Bourbon motif, the male staff members wore powdered wigs and breeches; the women were costumed in flouncy gowns and ash-blonde beehive wigs in the style of Marie Antoinette, the queen guillotined in the French Revolution.

Again, this is nothing new. The Democrats did similar things, but there is no evidence that they relied on psychometric profiling. Cambridge Analytica, however, divided the US population into 32 personality types, and focused on just 17 states. And just as Kosinski had established that men who like MAC cosmetics are slightly more likely to be gay, the company discovered that a preference for cars made in the US was a great indication of a potential Trump voter. Among other things, these findings now showed Trump which messages worked best and where. The decision to focus on Michigan and Wisconsin in the final weeks of the campaign was made on the basis of data analysis. The candidate became the instrument for implementing a big data model.

We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws

A related bound was given by Jeffrey Lagarias in 2002, who proved that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that for every natural number n > 1, where is the nth harmonic number, (Lagarias 2002).

If Speaker Ryan really is opposed, he can demand a separate vote on the OCE provision when the whole House votes on its rules. If he does not, he owns it, plain and simple.

In 2002, the discharge petition was successfully used to pass[8] the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, known as McCain–Feingold in the Senate and Shays–Meehan in the House. Starting in 1997, several attempts were made to bring it to the floor via the discharge petition. Once it finally passed then the Senate passed it 60–40, narrowly avoiding a filibuster.

The party now titularly led by Donald Trump has gained the right to govern. What’s also needed is a cross-party commitment to protect the institutions despised and threatened by Donald Trump. How to do just that will be the great political theme of the year ahead.

What happens next to the American republic will depend on whether Trump chooses to abide by, or can be restrained within, legal and bureaucratic limits—or whether his fellow partisans, seeking their own immediate political objectives, instead empower and enable him.The record of Republican elected officials to date is not confidence-inspiring. They have followed Trump’s lead, even when it violated their own declared convictions, even when he personally insulted and mocked them. They have chased power and the realization of their ideological dreams, even at the cost of their own integrity and dignity.

Take the theory that ultimately succeeded in the Supreme Court. There was no precedent for the idea that the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause required a uniform recount within a state. However, the Republicans pressed that theory and convinced a majority, even though the justices acknowledged that the argument was both unprecedented and not to be used again. It was a win for pure audacity.

The CIA briefed the administration that it thinks the Russians “breached” the RNC systems, according to a senior U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

A senior FBI counterintelligence official was equivocal during a briefing with congressional officials last week — confirming that Republican systems had been targeted and acknowledging the apparent imbalance in damage done to Democrats, but refraining from assigning a pro-Trump motive to the Kremlin.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Russia was not involved in the leaks.[24][25][5]

Needless to say, questions about who hacked the DNC and Podesta email accounts are serious and important ones. The answers have widespread implications on many levels. That’s all the more reason these debates should be based on publicly disclosed evidence, not competing, unverifiable anonymous leaks from professional liars inside government agencies, cheered by drooling, lost partisans anxious to embrace whatever claims make them feel good, all conducted without the slightest regard for rational faculties or evidentiary requirements.

There’s no particular need to find a magic formula to lift the scales from the eyes of Trump’s biggest supporters or to shatter his stranglehold and Republican Party loyalists. Democrats don’t necessarily need to convince a single Trump fan to stop liking him. What they need to do is find a way to convince the people who don’t like Trump to support their nominee instead.

The Trump administration wants to get rid of “regulations.” They are actually getting rid of protection. Can journalists actually say they are get rid of protections, saying the word “protection,” and reporting on the harm that would be done by not protecting the public.

8. Barack Obama gets one day off. As Bernie Sanders put it this spring, Obama’s “biggest mistake” was organizing a huge grassroots army and then telling all those loyal followers, “Thank you very much for electing me, I’ll take it from here.” Obama had one of the powerful political organizations ever assembled in U.S. history, and he just disbanded it. According to one of Obama’s top organizers, he saw it “as a tiger you can’t control.” This unquestionably contributed to the current Republican dominance of Congress, and now most of his presidency may be washed away like a sandcastle. If he ran for president for some reason other than just to live in the White House for a while, he can’t now start jetting around the world and giving speeches for $1 million. He’s going to have to stay right here and try to muster his troops again. They would be a force to be reckoned with, especially if he and Sanders could collaborate effectively. Like you, I have absolutely no idea if he’d do this. Maybe we should ask.

The CDC says that vibrio infections can be prevented by not eating raw oysters and other shellfish, plus keeping open wounds covered with waterproof bandages when getting into brackish or sea water. Any exposed cuts or wounds should be washed thoroughly with soap and clean water. The Daily Times editorial board recommends stronger precautions, urging readers to avoid murky, stagnant, brackish water all together—cuts or not cuts.

Clinton says Trump has called the election ‘rigged’, while Trump says he won’t necessarily accept the election results All available evidence shows that in-person voter fraud is exceedingly rare: you are more likely to be struck by lightning in the next year (a one in 1,042,000 chance, according to Noaa) than to find a case of voter fraud by impersonation (31 possible cases in more than a billion ballots cast from 2000 to 2014, according to a study by Loyola Law School). The man who cried rigged: the problem with Trump’s election claims Whenever Donald Trump is cornered, he accuses his opponents of fighting dirty. This time, he might be right to say there’s voter fraud – but for the wrong reasons Read more Voter fraud would have to happen on an enormous scale to sway elections, because the electoral college system decentralizes authority: each of the 50 states has its own rules and local officials, not federal ones, run the polls and count the ballots. This complexity makes the notion of a “rigged” national election, at least in the US, logistically daunting to the point of practical impossibility. Thirty-one states have Republican governors, including the swing states of Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, Nevada and Ohio; Pennsylvania only elected a Democratic governor in 2015. Polls show Trump losing even in some states where governors have strongly supported him. In Maine, for instance, the Real Clear Politics average shows him down five points. About 75% of the ballots cast in federal elections have paper backups, and most electronic voting machines are not connected to the internet – though they have other flaws and may be vulnerable to tampering. But voter fraud to swing a major election, whether by tampering, buying votes or official wrongdoing, would quickly attract attention by its necessarily large scale. AdvertisementIf Trump loses the presidential election, it will be because American voters do not want him in the White House, not because of a conspiracy involving Republicans and Democrats alike at state and city levels around the nation – a conspiracy for which Trump has provided no evidence.

On the other hand, scientists can look for hallmarks of simulation. “Suppose someone is simulating our universe – it would be very tempting to cut corners in ways that makes the simulation cheaper to run. You could look for evidence of that in an experiment,” said Tegmark.

One thing all octopuses seem to have in common (along with their cephalopod cousins, the squid and cuttlefish) is a talent for camouflage, something the genome analysis helped shed light on. Scientists identified six genes that coded for proteins known as reflectins, which change the way light reflects from the octopus’s skin. Using this genetic Photoshop, the so-called chameleons of the sea are able to change texture, brightness, pattern, and color with breathtaking fluidity. It’s a talent that has long struck biologists as paradoxical, however, since cephalopods have only a single color receptor (humans have three) and were therefore thought to be color-blind. Alexander Stubbs recalls that the problem began to bother him while he was doing fieldwork in Indonesia. There the Berkeley graduate student, who studies the physics of coloration and visual perception in animals, watched cephalopods such as the broadclub cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) blend seamlessly into the scenery to avoid predators, but also flash conspicuous color displays when mating. If cephalopods couldn’t perceive colors, such displays seemed senseless. To resolve the contradiction, Stubbs teamed up with his dad, Harvard astrophysicist Christopher Stubbs, to produce a computer model of the cephalopod vision system. The key, they hypothesized, lay in the animal’s strange pupils, which tend to be shaped like dumbbells, or like Us or Ws. The duo, who published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, think these off-axis pupils act as prisms, scattering white light into its component rainbow colors. The creature can then bring different wavelengths into focus by changing the shape of its eyeball, effectively adjusting the distance between lens and retina. Alexander Stubbs says of the study, “I think it’s particularly cool because we show the viability of a totally different form of color vision that relies on the principles of physical optics rather than different photoreceptor types.” Given that complex-lens eyes evolved independently in cephalopods and vertebrates, Stubbs says, “it wouldn’t be terribly surprising if these different lineages solved the problem of color vision with different evolutionary trajectories.” Not surprising, perhaps, but certainly curious. 

Instead of feeling excited about the possibility of the first female president, these women feel ground down. “Some people are terrified of Trump because he’s a fascist demagogue, and some people are just incredibly demoralized that Bernie, who we all love, is your cool, funky, uncle, and Hillary is Nurse Ratched,” Wachs says. This demoralization could help explain why more people are not channeling their anti-Trump anxiety into action to prevent his election. “I think people are paralyzed by it,” Silvestri says. “I see it in myself, too. In Obama’s previous campaigns, I was out there campaigning in Pennsylvania from July or August on. I have not ventured to Pennsylvania yet. I’m too overwhelmed. Nor have any of my friends mentioned anything so far in terms of actually being out there, involved.”

Candidates who ran but never were elected for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged into lists of campaign hopefuls, such as Ontario New Democratic Party candidates, 1995 Ontario provincial election, or into articles detailing the specific race in question, such as United States Senate election in Nevada, 2010. Note that such articles are still subject to the same content policies as any other article, and may not contain any unsourced biographical information that would not be acceptable in a separate article.

A leader undeterred Although Tien’s ethnicity attracted unwanted attention from the FBI, his authentic persona, including his heavy Chinese accent, won him over with everyone on campus. Long before he ran UC Berkeley, Tien confided to a colleague his ambitions to someday become chancellor of the campus. Mote, also a mechanical engineering professor, remembers questioning how Tien could achieve the position with his accent, to which Tien responded, “I’ve got this figured out. It’s going to work.” In 1990, Tien became the first Asian American chancellor of a major research university and went on to preside over some of the most successful years UC Berkeley had ever seen. Legend has it that Tien, proud of his accent, refused to use a speech coach despite suggestions to do so. It was exactly that unassuming and positive attitude that endeared him to students. He sometimes went into the locker room during football games to give the team a pep talk, took cookies to students in the library at midnight during finals week, drove students he saw waiting at the bus stop home and once even walked to a student’s apartment to return a wallet he had found on campus. Melany Hunt, one of Tien’s doctoral students in the 1980s, met her future husband in Tien’s lab. “He led the Conga line through the kitchen at the wedding reception,” she said. “He was the first chancellor where students would routinely come up to him, want their picture taken with him, want an autograph from him,” Cummins said. “It was because the students knew how much he really cared for them.”

According to that, maybe we are devoting too much to advocating exercise and not enough to simply demonizing sedentariness. Maybe we should—at least in some cases—drop advocating “exercise” altogether?The American Heart Association doesn’t go that far this week, but its ultimate conclusion is subtly radical: “absence of sufficient data to recommend qualitative guidelines, it is appropriate to promote the advisory, ‘Sit less, move more.’” And by “move,” they mean almost anything that is not sitting or reclining—anything that increases your metabolism to 1.5 times that of being absolutely still. Which is a very low bar. “Leisurely walking” is close to 2.5, while gardening or throwing a baseball with a kid gets you closer to four. That is what you get once you distill all the evidence for all the people. Sit less, move more. It’s as scientific as the best experts can give us, and simple enough to stick with people. Exercise might have a Pollan-esque mantra here that could endure.

Federal Election Commission ("FEC") regulations require a debate sponsor to make its candidate selection decisions on the basis of "pre-established, objective" criteria. After a thorough and wide-ranging review of alternative approaches to determining who is invited to participate in the general election debates it will sponsor, the CPD adopted on October 28, 2015 its 2016 Non-Partisan Candidate Selection Criteria. Under the 2016 Criteria, in addition to being Constitutionally eligible, candidates must appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to have a mathematical chance of winning a majority vote in the Electoral College, and have a level of support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations, using the average of those organizations’ most recently publicly-reported results at the time of the determination. The polls to be relied upon will be selected based on the quality of the methodology employed, the reputation of the polling organizations and the frequency of the polling conducted. CPD will identify the selected polling organizations well in advance of the time the criteria are applied.

The Mormons know something about being scapegoats. The church and its members haven’t forgotten that the Mormon past was in large measure defined by state-sponsored persecution and even violence. But the Mormons’ reluctance to embrace Trump is also connected to the Mormon present.

To be attracted by power, by grandeur, by appearances, is tragically human. It is a great temptation that tries to insinuate itself everywhere. But to give oneself to others, eliminating distances, dwelling in littleness and living the reality of one’s everyday life: this is exquisitely divine.

There is no relationship between county-level racial bias in police shootings and crime rates (even race-specific crime rates), meaning that the racial bias observed in police shootings in this data set is not explainable as a response to local-level crime rates.

Finally, analysis of police shooting data as a function of county-level predictors suggests that racial bias in police shootings is most likely to emerge in police departments in larger metropolitan counties with low median incomes and a sizable portion of black residents, especially when there is high financial inequality in that county.

Furthermore, the results of multi-level modeling show that there exists significant heterogeneity across counties in the extent of racial bias in police shootings, with some counties showing relative risk ratios of 20 to 1 or more.

The results provide evidence of a significant bias in the killing of unarmed black Americans relative to unarmed white Americans, in that the probability of being {black, unarmed, and shot by police} is about 3.49 times the probability of being {white, unarmed, and shot by police} on average.

Effective Copyright Policy: Copyrights encourage creativity and incentivize innovators to invest knowledge, time, and money into the generation of myriad forms of content. However, the copyright system has languished for many decades, and is in need of administrative reform to maximize its benefits in the digital age. Hillary believes the federal government should modernize the copyright system by unlocking—and facilitating access to—orphan works that languished unutilized, benefiting neither their creators nor the public. She will also promote open-licensing arrangements for copyrighted material and data supported by federal grant funding, including in education, science, and other fields. She will seek to develop technological infrastructure to support digitization, search, and repositories of such content, to facilitate its discoverability and use.   And she will encourage stakeholders to work together on creative solutions that remove barriers to the seamless and efficient licensing of content in the U.S. and abroad.

Several news stories have likened Clinton’s actions to those of retired Gen. David Petraeus, but the situations are very different. Petraeus showed a notebook containing highly classified information—names of agents, code words, and ongoing tactical operations in the U.S. war in Afghanistan—to Paula Broadwell, who was writing a book about him.

This Clinton scandal, like many others, including the one involving the health-care task force, has its roots in Clinton’s penchant for shielding her government work from public scrutiny.

Many politicians use private addresses, but private servers like the one Clinton used are rarely seen, said John Wonderlich, a policy director at the Sunlight Foundation, a nonpartisan group focused on government transparency, for a prior PolitiFact story.

High-profile massacres can summon our attention, and galvanize demands for change, but in 2015 fatalities from mass shootings amounted to just two per cent of all gun deaths. Most of the time, when Americans shoot one another, it is impulsive, up close, and apolitical.

American youth are more socially and economically liberal than the rest of the country, but only 46 percent of eligible millennials turned out to vote in 2012, according to Pew Research Center. Millennials in 2016 are less likely to vote than the ’80s generation or Baby Boomers did when they came of age, according to analysis by Russell Dalton of the University of California, Irvine.

Brexit is a reminder that having a version of left populism that is also about tolerance and inclusion, that stands up for immigrants and Muslims and people of color, and also says that the elite screwed up and the game is rigged—to be able to combine those two messages is really important and really powerful

Democrats have approved a draft party platform strongly influenced by the liberal agenda of Sen. Bernie Sanders, but his campaign pledged Saturday to continue fighting on several policy fronts ahead of the party’s nominating convention next month. The draft policy rubric approved early Saturday is evidence of the sway Sanders holds after a bruising primary that technically has not ended. The language would move the Democratic Party to the left on issues ranging from wages to banking reform to climate change, and represents several concessions by presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton to her persistent primary rival.

So I'm half-Chinese and half white, and it wasn't until being part of this show — even though I've been in other mixed race casts — that I have been considered an actor of color. Up until now, I haven't been talking about being an Asian-American woman!

Being silent for a week, and trying to empty your mind of thought, is not for the faint of heart, but I do wish that everyone could try it at least once. During my first retreat, I wondered how a simple tomato could taste so good, why I did not mind physical discomfort as much, how looking at a single flower for 45 minutes was even possible, let alone so gratifying.

But perhaps I prefer to think about what Miranda himself could have done better, and that’s easy: he could have chosen to dedicate his talents to telling a more revolutionary story—one in which the lives and stories of people of color were foregrounded.

My late friend Stan Ulam used to remark that his life was sharply divided into two halves. In the first half, he was always the youngest person in the group; in the second half, he was always the oldest. There was no transitional period.

Pity the town fathers of Leipzig in the Electorate of Saxony, circa 1723. They needed to hire a Kapellmeister, or director of music, for the town’s churches—someone who would direct and manage the choirs, play the organ, and write music for Sunday services—and they knew just the man, or men. Multi-instrumentalist and leading composer of the day Georg Philipp Telemann would be ideal. But if he could not be convinced, certainly his contemporary, composer and harpsichordist Christoph Graupner, would do.Unfortunately, neither would take the job. So a divided Leipzig Council less than enthusiastically went with their third choice, Johann Sebastian Bach, a composer and organist widely recognized for his musical gifts but also somewhat notorious for the difficulty of his music and the sometimes prickly relationship he had experienced with previous employers.

To set an environment variable The following command sets the value of the "PARAM1" variable in the "my-env" environment to "ParamValue": aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment --environment-name my-env --option-settings Namespace=aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment,OptionName=PARAM1,Value=ParamValue The option-settings parameter takes a namespace in addition to the name and value of the variable. Elastic Beanstalk supports several namespaces for options in addition to environment variables.

Q: How is Amazon ECS different from AWS Elastic Beanstalk? AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an application management platform that helps customers easily deploy and scale web applications and services. It keeps the provisioning of building blocks (e.g., EC2, RDS, Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch), deployment of applications, and health monitoring abstracted from the user so they can just focus on writing code. You simply specify which container images are to be deployed, the CPU and memory requirements, the port mappings, and the container links. Elastic Beanstalk will automatically handle all the details such as provisioning an Amazon ECS cluster, balancing load, auto-scaling, monitoring, and placing your containers across your cluster. Elastic Beanstalk is ideal if you want to leverage the benefits of containers but just want the simplicity of deploying applications from development to production by uploading a container image. You can work with Amazon ECS directly if you want more fine-grained control for custom application architectures.

According to Deadline, the decision was made by ABC and ABC Studios, which is considering a shortened ninth season, but never approached Katic to re-up her contract, informing her and Jones that their parts were cut for budgetary reasons.

Besides, Hamilton isn’t exactly a work of fiction, or of fan fiction. It’s fan nonfiction, occupying that odd based-on-a-true-story space that we as a culture still don’t really know what to do with.

I wrote the Rockefeller Foundation on April 12, 2016, proposing that if they must send these kids black and Latino to see “Hamilton” on the grounds that he was a “progressive,” and an “abolitionist” that they might organize a panel during which those who make such a claim defend it against historians who say that he was a slave trader. They could have the panel before or after the show.They didn’t answer.

Miranda should have consulted other sources that challenge this high school notion that Hamilton was some sort of abolitionist.

It’s also reasonable to ask if the difference in style between Clinton and every other presidential candidate isn’t related, at least partly, to the most obvious difference: gender. “The ways you’re supposed to talk as a candidate—‘I’m so great,’” like Trump does, “are more offensive coming from women than men,” says Deborah Tannen, the Georgetown University professor who has spent a career studying the difference between men’s and women’s speaking styles. “When women do it, it rubs people the wrong way. But when you’re tough, as a candidate is expected to be, people don’t like you because women aren’t expected to talk that way.” Conversely, when one’s authority is taken for granted, as Clinton’s was as secretary of state, that’s when women tend to be most comfortable and to excel in leadership roles.

Lastly, the report challenges us support and advocate for youth in the foster care system, and specifically to, “provide loving support to the foster child well before he or she ages out of the system and to support the young person in gaining a firm foothold as he or she moves into adulthood.” This is a clear and present need, especially in our area, one that is being engaged by several outstanding non-profits. In conversation with several of those groups it became clear that through gathering supplies, mentoring, and advocacy, we can make a visible and necessary difference in the lives of children and youth who are living at tremendous risk.

It’s not Lin-Manuel Miranda who first made Hamilton an abolitionist, for example: Hamilton’s biographers have been promoting that myth for generations; Ron Chernow is only the most recent. Miranda would have had to dig deeply and counterintuitively to question it, and that process would assign him a job other than the one he has. It’s fair for non-historians to expect to rely on well-received history books intended for general readers.

Race is not just about skin color. As she correctly observes, the actors sing in particular “racialized musical forms,” with some who “read as white” singing the “‘white’ music of traditional Broadway” and others, who “read” black, singing black musical forms.Conforming to American gender and racial rules, the “black” Angelica Schuyler is dynamic, aggressive—“fierce” as the young people used to say–while her “white” sister Elizabeth is demure, ladylike, and, evidently, marriage material.

Elizabeth Schuyler, played by Phillipa Soo] is Chinese American, but she definitely reads as white,

Without consent.

One criticism we have heard loud and clear is that the “without consent” clause in our principles is problematic. When forming these principles, we meant that individuals would be able to annotate the documents of corporate and governmental entities, or other powerful groups, without needing their approval — such as when the scientists of Climate Feedback annotate climate change coverage. But we acknowledge that our choice of language was poor. We will change it soon.

That’s how we stopped the spread of Ebola in West Africa.  Our military, our doctors, and our development workers set up the platform that allowed other countries to join us in stamping out that epidemic.

The 5 largest University of California campuses spend more than $90 million annually on commercial acquisitions and subscriptions in 2013-14 (see: http://arlstatistics.org/analytics). In contrast, during the same period the CDL allocated only about $3.5 million on digital repository services of the type supporting open access, open data, and protected research data (see: http://www.cdlib.org/about/docs/CDLAnnualReport_2013_2014.pdf).

Minimal efforts to comply with grant data management requirements by depositing messy and undocumented spreadsheets into a repository may not be sufficient to enable future reuse. Since such data curation is integral to the process of research, we need more policy emphasis on recognizing and rewarding the research process as a whole (see also Dallas 2015; Huggett 2015). The continued domination of fast-paced “publish or perish” expectations will perpetuate perverse incentives to badly curate data and to ignore the ethical context of those data.

how scholars rarely focus critical reflection on the institutions and tacit rules that govern their own professions.

Digital archaeology is profoundly shaped by an institutional landscape that demands the commoditization, marketing, and branding of scholarship “as a service”.

There’s something to be said for a geek’s need to scratch an itch. Geeks are problem solvers. Geeks are slaves to doing things better than the status quo. Regardless of role or title, geeks find itches in their day-to-day life that they’re dying to scratch. They think “I could write a script to automate this task”, or “if only there were an API, it’d be so much easier to submit this report”. Regardless of the thing, geeks know technology and geeks know if there’s a better way to do it. The same can’t be said of suits, at least not in a technical sense. Geeks that serve under suits often don’t have the tools they need because management isn’t affected by the need to scratch that itch. That’s why you end up in the Catch-22 where it’s against agency policy to code in the open, but there’s also no budget to stand up on on-prem version control system, leaving developers to pass around code on thumb drives. Geeks in leadership positions naturally scratch itches, the same itches their developers are asking to have scratched.

Private producers of intellectual property may have additional reasons to claim ownership of that property; government producers, meanwhile, are able to produce information only because they’re doing so on behalf of the public. When we think about government producers of open data, is it legitimate for them also to claim that they can condition data availability on attribution requirements?

I think the reason why is that cards don’t really feel this way is that most cards can only move within their own self-contained apps or websites.

you will quickly notice that many of the sites that we visit every day (Twitter, Facebook, Trello, Instagram, Pinterest) they all use cards as a user interface design pattern.

two rows of paper slips can be inserted and supported by paper rails.

the book provides instructions to scholars how to properly organize their studies through the keeping excerpted material in useful order. Gessner was describing an already established practice. Scholars kept slips or cards in boxes, and when they had the need to write or give a lecture or sermon, they would take the cards that fit their theme, and would arrange those thoughts and would temporarily fix them in order using devices such as the one pictured.

Gessner is considered the first modern bibliographer.

But Krajewski makes the case that the origin of the index card should be considered to go as far back as 1548 with Konrad Gessner who described a new method of processing data: to cut up a sheet of handwritten notes into slips of paper, with one fact or topic per slip, and arrange as desired.

If I was able to pitch a library-related design to host, Roman Mars for an episode, I would suggest the history of the humble 3 x 5 index card.

The benefits of increased consumption were greater for fruits than for vegetables and strongest for berries, apples/pears, tofu/soy, cauliflower, and cruciferous and green leafy vegetables. Increased satiety with fewer calories could be partly responsible for the beneficial effects of increasing fruit and vegetable intake. These findings may not be generalizable—nearly all the participants were well-educated white adults.

Although the DOI is the most widely known type of identifier, there are other identifiertypes.

The most appropriate metadata standard for a given project will depend primarily on the associated discipline for the data and the intended repository for the dataset’s long-term preservation. Examples of discipline-specific metadata schemas include Ecological Metadata Language (used in ecology and environmental science) and FGDC 19115 (used for geospatial data).

In fact, if they replaced as little as two minutes of sitting each hour with gentle walking, they lowered their risk of premature death by about 33 percent, compared with people who sat almost nonstop. The researchers found an additional reduction in mortality risk if people engaged in moderate exercise instead of sitting, although the numbers of respondents who jogged or leapt about instead of sitting was so small that statistical determinations were difficult.
