After tolerance, post-cartesian politics require reconsidering who and what constitutes subjects of politics. The document discusses including those traditionally excluded like refugees, amateurs, and "dead labor" in governance and design. It raises ethical questions about what kind of subjects we want to become and what good a renewed polity should achieve. A renewed political economy must balance mediation, order, privation, and communication to resolve problems of distribution, temporalities, and order in a post-kantian cosmopolitan way.

Paper: PR-OWL 2.0 - Bridging the gap to OWL semantics
Abstract: The past few years have witnessed an increasingly mature body of research on the Semantic Web, with new standards being developed and more complex use cases being proposed and explored. As complexity increases in SW applications, so does the need for principled means to cope with uncertainty inherent to real world SW applications. Not surprisingly, several approaches addressing uncertainty representation and reasoning on the Semantic Web have emerged [3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14]. For example, PR-OWL [3] provides OWL constructs for representing Multi-Entity Bayesian Network (MEBN) [8] theories. This paper reviews some shortcomings of PR-OWL 1 [2] and describes how they will be addressed in PR-OWL 2. A method is presented for mapping back and forth from triples into random variables (RV). The method applies to triples representing both predicates and functions. A complex example is given for mapping an n-ary relation using the proposed schematic.
A discussion on chapter 5 of Hatch & Cunliffe (2013, 127-157)'s "Organization Theory: Modern, Symbolic, and Postmodern Perspective." This paper will summarize their discussions, and to make more value added, I’ll discuss on a possibility to enhance fundamental perspective of this chapter by discussing about the post-postmodern paradigm , which will be a result of a debate between neo-phenomenology and speculative reality in details. The paper will use this perspective to examine the future evolution of exponential performance of computational technology until the “technological singularity,” or when machine intelligence surpasses human being’s in 2047, according to Verne Vinge , later adopted and enhanced further by Kurzwell (2005).

Partial review of work presented in the article: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2784747
Domain specific language for financial derivatives, including multiparty aspect. Certified implementation using Coq proof assistant - and extraction of Haskell code.
GoGet is all about community - the cars even have names!
This page lets you get to know the unique personality of each car in the fleet, and vote on new names for cars.
The way the page works is that you type in a name, this could be the name of your local GoGet car, or even your name (everyone loves searching for themselves!).
If there is a car in the GoGet fleet with that name, it shows you a picture of the car, tells you a little about it, and shows you one of its big adventures (based on the real GPS data) via a streetview animation!
If there isn't a car with that name, it gives you the option to vote for that name. ..maybe there could be prizes if the name you suggested gets chosen to name a new car?
Inspired by the story from one of GoGets own employees who used to work at Streetcar in the UK, she mentioned that people used to specifically book their car called 'Desire' - a Streetcar named Desire. I really think that people would love to engage with choosing names for cars, seeing where a car with their name is parked, and could find it fun to see where that car around the corner of them has been.
The page could perhaps link to book that car directly! I think this idea to capitalise on the fun stories that each car has could be the basis for a great marketing campaign!
It should also be noted that since we only had the names and GPS data of some of the cars, not all goget cars names will be recognised by the page.
But here are a few names with great trips that you could give a go:
James (Who went on a trip up to the entrance)
Erin (Who went camping down in Melbourne)
Thomas (Who went to palm beach)
Homer (there isn't a car called Homer in the dataset, so you could vote for it!)
This bill would establish a school property tax levy cap for all school districts other than the "Big 5" fiscally dependent city school districts, and a local government property tax levy cap for counties, cities other than New York City, towns, villages, special districts and fire districts.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

“It is an image created and distributed automati-

12. if I know, for example, what the causes
and effects of what I am doing are,
what the program is for what I am
doing, then there is no decision; it is
a question, at the moment of judge-
ment, of applying a particular causal-
ity. . . . If I know what is to be done . . .
. then there is no moment of decision,
simply the application of a body of
knowledge, or at the very least a rule
or a norm. For there to be a decision,
the decision must be heterogeneous

231-2)
13. The reciprocal interpersonal relations that
are established through the speaker-hearer
perspectives make possible a relation-to-self
that by no means presupposes the lonely re-
flection of the knowing and acting subject
upon itself. as an antecedent consciousness.
Rather, the self-relation arises out of an inter-
active context (Habermas 1992: 24).
In order to consolidate its field of influence,
capital demands a constant emergence of
subjective and territorialized identities that,
at the end of the day, require no more than
an equality of exposure according to the
uniform prerogatives of the market. Thus we
have the capitalist logic of general equiva-
lences and the cultural logic of community
and minority identities coming together in an
articulated whole (Badiou 1997: 11).

the defining characteristic of the market as an ob-
