Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     We live in a world swimming in documents, both online and in print, telling us things that we must decide how to use, as citizens of a republic.  Web sites are especially difficult to trace back to the initial source, since books have bibliographies and publishers that can be researched.  So, how would you solve part of the problem of verifying the veracity of a document, figuring out where the funding for a particular document or web site you are reading came from, and why those funders commissioned that site or study?

Today’s reading continues with atomic structure, but you can follow links to earlier pages on atoms, or go ahead with molecules, depending on what you’ve already covered in your science studies:

“The precise physical nature of atoms finally emerged from a series of elegant experiments carried out between 1895 and 1915. The most notable of…

Four Individuals Indicted on Wage Fixing and Labor Market Allocation Charges | OPA | Department of Justice

A federal grand jury in Portland, Maine, returned an indictment charging four managers of home health care agencies with participating in a conspiracy to suppress the wages and restrict the job mobility of essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the one-count felony indictment filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine, four Portland residents: Faysal Kalayaf Manahe; Yaser Aali; Ammar Alkinani; and Quasim Saesah — all owners and/or managers of home health care agencies — conspired to eliminate competition for the services of Personal Support Specialist (PSS) workers by agreeing to fix the rates paid to these workers and by agreeing not to hire each other’s workers. This indictment is the first in this ongoing investigation into wage fixing and worker allocation schemes in the PSS industry.

Emmy Noether la più importante matematica - Una donna al giorno

Il nome della scienziata tedesca Amalie Emmy Noether(1882–1935) è legato all’omonimo teorema, ricevuto da Einstein in anteprima e pubblicato poi nel 1918, che mette in luce la profonda connessione trasimmetrie e leggi di conservazione.

Figlia primogenita del matematicoMax Noethel e di Ida Amalia Kaufmann, entrambi di origini ebraiche, nacque nella cittàbavaresediErlanger. Il suo primo nome era “Amalie” ma usò sempre il suo secondo nome.

Emmy era miope e non spiccava a scuola. Le fu insegnato a pulire e a cucinare e le furono impartite lezioni di pianoforte ma non aveva passione per nessuna di queste attività. Dopo aver acquisito l’abilitazione all’insegnamento del francese e dell’inglese non potè subito accedere all’università perchè allora era preclusa alle donne. Riuscì solo nel 1904 quando l’ateneo di Erlangen, dove suo padre insegnava, aprì le porte all’iscrizione femminile. Si laureò in soli tre anni e dopo lavorò all’Istituto di Matematica per sette anni senza…

Dr. Nafeez Ahmed’s guide to the eight unprecedented and undemocratic bills that the Tories are trying to pass this year – Media Diversified

In particular, they promise to provide the British state extraordinary powers to control the lives of all its citizens – especially along ethnic and racial lines – while centralising the dominion of a state-corporate executive operating unaccountably beyond the rule of law.

In total, the eight pieces of legislation will comprise a new autocratic governing regime in Britain that will be extremely difficult to dislodge or reform through democratic processes, and which will undermine the integrity of the popular vote.
