Parker-Pope argues that technology can become addictive and negatively impact human behavior. She provides evidence from expert opinions and studies to support this claim. Parker-Pope draws an analogy comparing technology abuse to an eating disorder, discussing both the benefits and limits of this analogy. She concludes by arguing that people must develop a healthy relationship with technology. Cascio argues that humans have survived environmental changes in the past by evolving to be smarter, and will need to continue doing so today. He draws on historical evidence and analogizes the environmental instability today to that of 74,000 years ago. However, Cascio's argument relies on an incomplete analogy and fails to recognize humanity's role in creating today's problems.

Truth Goggles and Talking Point Tracker (2019)
The latest and greatest about two Bad Idea Factory projects: Truth Goggles and Talking Point Tracker.
The first helps show how specific language might carry unintended meaning or hidden context depending on who is reading their content.
The second provides real time tracking of what the heck people on TV are rambling on about these days.
This presentation was given to the Duke Reporter Lab's Tech and Check conference on March 28th, 2019.
Microsoft® office
The document provides an overview of security in Microsoft Office 2007, explaining how new features help protect users from malware in files. It discusses threats like viruses, worms, and macros that can infect computers through emails and documents. The 2007 Office system automatically disables potentially risky features like macros when files are opened, and notifies users via the Message Bar so they can decide whether to enable or trust the content.
Carr
Carr argues that (1) media shape our thoughts and the internet aims for efficiency over depth, (2) the internet could make human thought more superficial and less reflective, and (3) human intelligence is more than a mechanical process. The document then analyzes the evidence and persuasiveness of each of Carr's four claims. It asks students to consider how Carr's arguments compare to their own experiences and research.
Tw week #11. 2pptx
This document summarizes key points from Nancy Sommers' 1982 research on teacher responses to student writing. The main findings were:
1) Teacher comments tended to be mean-spirited and focused more on surface errors than content and ideas.
2) Comments often contradicted each other or pulled students away from their own writing purposes.
3) Most comments were generic and could be interchangeably applied to different papers.
The implications discussed are that written comments alone are limited and disembodied. Writing tutors could help by engaging directly with students to clarify and contextualize comments. Small group work is suggested to discuss example student papers and responses.
Tw 3.2 theoretical approaches
This document discusses several theoretical approaches to writing instruction:
1) Current-traditional rhetoric views writing and knowledge objectively, focusing on surface errors. This ignores writing as a process and knowledge as transactional.
2) Expressivism sees knowledge as subjective, valuing creativity and expression. However, it ignores social aspects of learning and knowledge.
3) Social construction views knowledge as created through social interaction, emphasizing collaboration and discourse communities.
4) Cultural studies and postcolonial approaches see writing and rhetoric as part of civic participation and seek to incorporate marginalized perspectives.
Summary Project Slideshow
In his article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?", Nicholas Carr argues that overreliance on the Internet hinders deep learning by impeding information intake. Carr notes that while search engines can expand what we already know, solely relying on Google reduces our ability to absorb materials fully. He compares his former method of deeply reading source material to his current tendency to skim condensed information online. Carr cites his own experience alongside studies showing that technology alters cognition, with the brain adapting easily to tools like Google that may diminish attention spans and distract from reading. Ultimately, Carr asserts that while technology influences thinking, individuals bear responsibility for how they choose to engage with information sources.

Science and Technology
Science and technology wield significant power in the modern world. While science aims to understand natural laws and make accurate predictions, technology applies scientific knowledge to tools and systems that can both empower and liberate humans. However, there is debate around whether humanity is truly in command of these advances or being commanded by them, as science and technology progress at an exponential rate and may eventually surpass human capabilities. Their rapid development also poses risks if not guided by moral considerations.

Stempel views Iago as purely evil, while Rosenberg argues he is a more complex, cunning character. McCloskey believes Iago sought justice that got out of hand. After examining their papers, the document concludes Iago had built-up jealousy and hatred towards Othello and Cassio due to harming his reputation, and sought revenge through his actions in the play.
Light Essays
This document discusses several key points about ethics in science:
1. Science can be used for both beneficial and harmful purposes, as scientific discoveries and inventions can be applied in either way. Examples given include medical advances but also weapons development.
2. Scientists have a responsibility to consider the ethical implications and potential misuses of their work. However, determining ethical limits is complex as values differ between individuals and societies.
3. While science itself is amoral, human decisions about its application and oversight are not. There is an ongoing debate around whether and how to regulate certain areas of science to prevent harm while allowing progress. Overall ethical judgment requires balancing benefits, risks, and individual rights.

Bill Joy, the author of the article "Why the Future Doesn't Need Us?", discussed how rapidly advancing technologies like genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR) could pose existential threats to humanity. While acknowledging their benefits, he warned that these complex 21st century technologies may escape human control and could be used to harm or destroy humanity. Critics argue that Joy only showed one side of the issue and that social systems can direct technologies to prevent potential dangers, but many agree that serious discussion is needed between scientists, governments, and businesses to implement necessary safeguards regarding these powerful new technologies.

V Rolfe - open education and innovation
The document summarizes the findings from interviews conducted with staff from De Montfort University regarding their experiences with 5 open education resource projects funded 3 to 7 years prior. Key themes that emerged included the importance of having a champion to lead projects but also the vulnerability that comes from relying on a single person. The projects helped spark new local and global partnerships for collaboration. While students and staff were interested in innovative digital approaches, these were sometimes at odds with institutional infrastructure and policies. There were also examples provided of times when OER were misused by not complying with copyright licenses or not providing proper attribution, which damaged some partnerships.

The document provides guidance for analyzing persuasive arguments made in two texts. Students are prompted to:
1) Summarize the arguments in 2 sentences
2) Consider different perspectives through "doubting and believing games"
3) Identify the authors' biases, cultural contexts, and persuasive appeals to emotion, ethics, and logic.
Tw week #11
This document summarizes key points from Nancy Sommers' 1982 research on responding to student writing and comments. The main points are:
1) Sommers studied comments from 35 teachers and found that many comments were mean-spirited or focused on surface errors rather than content and ideas. Computer comments were more constructive.
2) Teacher comments often pulled students away from their own writing purposes and focused on the teacher's commenting purposes instead. Comments were also often generic rather than text-specific.
3) The study suggests implications for writing centers, including that written comments alone have limitations and tutors could help intervene to make comments more constructive. Small groups then practiced responding to a sample student paper with problematic comments
Language variety #1
This document discusses the debate around prescriptive versus descriptive linguistics and standard English. It notes that prescriptive linguistics aims to enforce language rules while descriptive linguistics describes language functions. Several experts are quoted arguing that standard English rules are arbitrary and imposed by elites, and that students have their own valid language varieties. The document also summarizes a 1974 policy asserting students' right to their own languages and the need for teachers to respect language diversity. It discusses code-switching and code-meshing approaches to addressing language variety in the classroom.
Watson revision 1
This document discusses narrative ecology, a theoretical framework for understanding college composition in a postmodern context. It draws on Lyotard's work on the decline of grand narratives and the rise of scientific knowledge as the dominant form of knowledge. The framework of narrative ecology posits local and grand narratives as dynamic living systems that are layered and interconnected. It addresses critiques that grand narratives still operate unconsciously. The framework has implications for how we understand pedagogy, research, and maps of the field of composition studies in the current context of late-stage capitalism and business models in higher education.
Icc1 code phrases sentences
This document discusses code phrases and sentence structure. It defines code phrases as words that have a specific meaning to the writer but multiple meanings to the reader. It recommends replacing code phrases with specific details, descriptions, or concrete examples. The document also discusses four basic sentence types - simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. It advises using a variety of sentence types to improve writing by varying tone and representing connections between ideas. Readers are encouraged to identify code phrases in their own writing and experiment with different sentence structures.
Tw week 3
This document summarizes key chapters from the book "The Everyday Writing Center" and poses discussion questions about writing center work. It addresses what a community of practice is, how tutors can learn from each other's diverse experiences. It also discusses the value of diversity in staffing and creating an inclusive environment. Questions are raised about cultivating confusion in tutor training rather than a transmission model, and the benefits of tutors drawing on their own writing experiences. The document closes by posing questions about making anti-racism work a core part of writing center practice, both conceptually and in day-to-day operations.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Does Over-Masturbation Contribute to Chronic Prostatitis.pptx
