Wikipedia began as a complementary project for Nupedia, a free online English-language encyclopedia project whose articles were written by experts and reviewed under a formal process.

On 3 April 2018, Facebook and YouTube announced that they would help users detect fake news by suggesting fact-checking links to related Wikipedia articles. It has been censored by world governments, ranging from specific pages to the entire site. The website's coverage of controversial topics such as American politics and major events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has received substantial media attention. While the reliability of Wikipedia was frequently criticized in the 2000s, it has improved over time, receiving greater praise in the late 2010s and early 2020s. It has been criticized for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and ideological bias. Wikipedia has been praised for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced degree of commercial bias. In 2006, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the "biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world". Its combined editions comprise more than 60 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month and more than 15 million edits per month (about 5.7 edits per second on average) as of January 2023. Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Wales was influenced by the " spontaneous order" ideas associated with Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian School of economics after being exposed to these ideas by the libertarian economist Mark Thornton. Sanger coined its name as a blend of wiki and encyclopedia. Wikipedia was launched by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001. It is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American non-profit organization funded mainly through donations. It is consistently one of the 10 most popular websites ranked by Similarweb and formerly Alexa as of 2023, Wikipedia was ranked the 5th most popular site in the world according to Semrush.

![]() ![]() We have had our share of horrible boss movies over the years. THE WORKING DREAD - My Review of THE ASSISTANT (4 Stars) The Assistant is a film made up of small, specific moments that - while not driving towards anything grand or set in stone - analyzes a culture gone awry lost to the conditions of those in power and where the idea of simple human decency quickly fades away. Green sets her film within the world of the film industry (a detail I initially thought was the wrong - or maybe too much the obvious - choice), but what saves this for general moviegoers is that Jane doesn't necessarily have to be working for a powerful Hollywood producer as this could easily transfer to any other corporate environment. In the similarly themed Promising Young Woman the style is more heightened, but the situations aren't - they're very real and regrettably commonplace - and The Assistant operates in this same area where everything that occurs feels oddly ordinary, unpleasantly familiar, and certainly possible. Garner has an amazing presence that translates almost everything we need to know about what the character is feeling without hardly saying a word. Nothing here feels exploitative for the sake of such despite the subject matter, but rather Green paints a delicate portrait of Julia Garner's Jane whom no one notices, but whose every internal conflict and struggle is all we see. There's no gratuitous and/or sensationalized scenes of what happens beyond closed doors, but instead we remain with a lowly clerk who makes copies, gets lunch, and tidies up after meetings. While a story of power and consent this is a story of power and consent told by and from the point of view of a woman. ![]() Song for a Raggy Boy was adapted from the memoir by Patrick Galvin, who also helped adapt his story for the screen.Smart enough to not focus on the person in question, but the machinery set-up around that person and those on the other side of his always closed door, Kitty Green's The Assistant is deliberate to a fault. Franklin's distrust of Brother John's regime reaches a high point when a new student informs him that he was sexually assaulted by one of the clerics. As Franklin campaigns for more humane treatment of his charges, he makes a powerful enemy in Brother John, who responds to Franklin's reform efforts with greater vehemence against the students, in particular Mercier (John Travers), an inquisitive child who has become a favorite of Franklin. But Franklin comes to believe the students are being treated with excessive force, with many of the children severely punished for trivial violations of the rules, and some treated as delinquents for the crime of not having parents. Jude's, a school for wayward boys run by Brother John Iain Glen, who is a firm believer in strong discipline. ![]() Franklin becomes the first non-cleric instructor at St. ![]() William Franklin (Aidan Quinn) is a teacher who was born in Ireland and moved to the United States only to repatriate in 1939 after his leftist political views cause him to lose his job. A teacher takes on the corrupt leadership of an Irish reform school in this drama based on a true story. ![]() ![]() Papa Bear asked, “Do you see a snare and a radio collar under my pillow. They moved into the bedroom with growing alarm. ![]() It smells musky and sweaty and not at all clean.” Do you smell something else, Baby?”īaby Bear said, “Yes, I do. He asked, “Do you smell something else, Mama?” Suspicious, they rose from the table and went into the living room. Does yours smell off, Baby?”īaby Bear said, “Yes, it does. When the bears finally came home, they sat down to eat breakfast. But the bears took so long to come back from their walk that she fell asleep. Goldilocks chortled and thought: “These bears will be my ticket to the top! I’ll show those twerps at the university the kind of guts it takes to do real research!” She crouched in a corner of the bedroom and waited. Her plan was to drug the bears and, when they stumbled into their bedroom to take a nap, lash radio collars to their necks as their heads hit the pillows. Then, in the bedroom, she rigged snares beneath the pillows of each bed. ![]() In the kitchen, she laced the bowls of porridge with a tranquilizing potion. With scientific espionage the only thing in mind, Goldilocks broke into the bears’ cottage. Her intent was to collar the bears with radio transmitters and then follow them in their migratory and other life patterns, with an utter disregard for their personal (or rather, animal) privacy. The rogue biologists had been watching the cottage for some time. At one time she had been a professor, but her aggressive, masculine approach to science - ripping off the thin veil of Nature, exposing its secrets, penetrating its essence, using it for her own selfish needs, and bragging about such violations in the letters columns of various magazines - had led to her dismissal. She was you see, a biologists who specialized in the study of anthropomorphic bears. ![]() Her name was Goldilocks, and she had been watching the bears for days. So they left their bowls to cool and took a walk to visit their animal neighbors.Īfter the bears left, a melanin-improvised young wommon emerged from the bushes and crept up to the cottage. But straight off the stove, the porridge was too thermally enhanced to eat. Papa Bear had prepared big bowls of all-natural porridge for them to eat. One day, in their little anthropomorphic cottage, they sat down to breakfast. Nevertheless, they tried to be happy and took steps to avoid these pitfalls, such as naming their offspring the non-gender-specific “Baby.” They were very sorry about this, of course, since the nuclear family has traditionally served to enslave womyn, instill a self-righteous moralism in its members, and imprint rigid notions of heterosexualist roles onto the next generation. Through the thicket, across the river, and deep, deep in the woods, lived a family of bears - a Papa Bear, a Mama Bear, and a Baby Bear - and they all lived together anthropomorphically in a little cottage as a nuclear family. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sources: CoinDesk (Bitcoin), Kraken (all other cryptocurrencies)Ĭalendars and Economy: 'Actual' numbers are added to the table after economic reports are released.

If you’re hoping to prevent bed sores in the future, investing in a mattress that reliably takes the strain off of key pressure points can help. Traditional mattresses can also be useful in providing pressure relief. These electrically powered mattresses steadily inflate and deflate different chambers inside of them to keep changing the distribution of pressure on the user’s body. For this reason, specialized mattresses have been designed to help prevent bedsores from developing or worsening.įor people who are largely bedridden and often in hospital-grade beds, alternating pressure mattresses or mattress toppers are a good option for keeping pressure ulcers at bay. They’re most common in people who spend a lot of time reclining or sitting in the same position.

![]() ![]() Update (optional): You may wish to consider updating Anaconda before installing: conda update -all but consider possible impact on other Anaconda environments you may have configured. On Windows 11 machines, you may not use a native Windows Anaconda install, but rather need a Linux Anaconda install within a WSL2 environment! On M1/M2 Macs, make sure you have the ARM64 Anaconda/Miniconda, not Intel.To use this approach, you must already have Miniconda or Anaconda installed. Option 2: Install into an existing Anaconda setup (all platforms, experimental) Again, method 1 is NOT recommended if you already have Anaconda on your machine. ![]() ![]() It includes a copy of Miniconda (a small version of Anaconda), with EMAN2 installed into an environment. Method 1 is the same method we have used to distribute EMAN2 binaries for the last several years. If you have built other scientific software from source in the past, we strongly encourage you to try method 3. It does require that you have a C compiler installed on your machine, but otherwise requires little other knowledge. We like to encourage people to use approach 3 when possible, because A) It can also use an existing Anaconda install, B)it will optimize the binary for the specific CPU you have and C) updating to our current development version becomes a very simple/quick process (if you run into a problem it becomes trivial to check if we have already fixed it). Having 2 separate Anaconda installs in the same account can be a problem. If you are already an active Anaconda user, you may prefer approach 2 or 3, above, since it will install within your existing Anaconda system (in its own environment). NEW: Install into an existing Anaconda install Traditional Binary Installation (includes Anaconda/Miniconda install).Yes, the version number is a bit odd, but this IS a release version Binary Installation Instructions v2.99.47 ![]() ![]() ![]() Your PC suffers from 3.5mm microphone interference.Build quality is fantastic, with no complaints after extended use due to the comfortable padding and lightweight construction.Ĭompared to headsets in its price range, this second-generation revision of the Astro A10 headset was able to impress for less. PC performance depends on your motherboard or soundcard support since it uses 3.5mm line-in connections, susceptible to interference. Impressing me with its speaker and microphone quality, the Astro A10 is one of the best Xbox headsets on a budget. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) Again, it works just fine while connected and if you don't fidget with the cord. So far, the A10 hasn't given me any real reasons to believe so, except for the minor jack issue, which a replacement cable could fix since it uses a standard 3.5mm connection. Its lightweight construction did cause me to feel some concern when I first opened the Astro box, giving the impression that it might be a little flimsy. That's all fine if the 3.5mm jack can stand up to the same kinds of punishment, but only extended use will tell. Fortunately, Astro claims the A10 to be durable in its construction and withstand even the angriest of rage quits. It's not a constant problem, but with how little movement it took to knock out the stereo sound, it does concern me for its longevity. Slight adjustments to the jack connection while playing would find the stereo connection breaking, leading to sound playing through one mono channel. The only real problem I ran into during my use was the line-in connection on the headset itself would sometimes slip away from perfect audio if I caught the cable on anything. ![]() Thankfully, I have very little to say about the Astro A10 in the way of negatives. Overall, the microphone performance is stellar, complimenting the fantastic speakers and comfortable construction. Using noise-reduction plugins on software such as Discord will help remedy this, but recording directly into any software might exhibit some noise, depending on your setup. It is, unfortunately, a common side-effect to using line-in microphones on desktops without dedicated sound cards or fancier motherboards in general. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although its roots are in horror, that aspect fades after a little while and the series becomes the story of two brothers who would do anything for each other, including selling their soul to save the other. Across 15 seasons, the series, which features an expansive mythology that includes heaven, hell, and everything in between, has taken its simple premise - saving people and hunting things - and added a great sense of humor, a classic rock soundtrack, and a willingness to take risks, and the result is a globally beloved drama that was, at times, one of the most creative series on TV. If you've yet to watch Supernatural, the long-running WB-turned-CW drama about Sam and Dean Winchester ( Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles), two brothers who travel America in their 1967 Chevy Impala and hunt monsters and demons and pretty much anything that threatens humanity, you're in for a wild treat.
