Sandra Felgueiras and the Case Anjos byteseu.com/1130663/ #Portugal


This headline by ABC News is one of the most biased bullshit headlines I've ever seen.

The article doesn't even start to mention the timber industry until halfway down and does a piss-poor job of explaining the tenuous connection. (It's that the timber industry was responsible for collecting seeds to use for reseeding after fires and, now that they're not doing that anymore, someone else has to and the scientist mentioned in the article says that the current contracts for seeds aren't enough)

Institution and Imaginary – How Educational Technology Reproduces the Social-Historical


Educational institutions are not static structures. They are created and sustained by the social imaginaries that shape them. In my latest blog post, I explore how educational technologies are not neutral tools, but active participants in reproducing these institutional logics.

If we want to reimagine education, we also need to rethink the role technology plays in shaping what education is and could become.

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a body of water surrounded by rocky islands. In the foreground, there are several large, smooth rocks with a grayish hue, partially submerged in the water. The water is calm, reflecting the muted colors of the sky and the surrounding terrain. In the midground, smaller islands with similar rocky textures are visible, interspersed with patches of green vegetation, likely moss or low shrubs. The background reveals a series of larger, more rugged islands, with a hazy sky above, suggesting a distant horizon. The overall color palette is composed of grays, greens, and blues, with the sky appearing overcast. The scene is devoid of human presence, emphasizing the natural beauty and tranquility of the landscape.

The image depicts a serene lakeside scene. In the foreground, a person is seated on a rocky outcrop, facing the calm water. The individual is wearing a light-colored top and is positioned to the right of the frame. Nearby, an inflatable boat rests on the ground, suggesting a recreational setting. The ground is covered with dry grass and scattered rocks, with a piece of driftwood prominently placed in the foreground.

To the left, a tall pine tree with a slender trunk and green needles stands, its branches extending towards the sky. The background features a dense forest of trees, creating a natural border around the lake. The water is calm, reflecting the clear blue sky, which is mostly clear with a few scattered clouds. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil, with the natural elements harmoniously arranged.

In de Evin gevangenis zitten veel politieke gevangenen, tegenstanders van de Ayatollahs. Welk doel heeft Israël met het doden van tegenstanders van het Iraanse bewind?



Abschlussbericht über die Ursachen des Stromausfalls in Spanien Ende April: Drei Hauptfaktoren haben das System über einen „Punkt ohne Wiederkehr“ hinausausgetrieben: unzureichende Spannungskontrollkapazitäten, Schwankungen aufgrund von Systembeschränkungen und Erzeugungsabschaltungen, die sie als „offensichtlich unsachgemäß“ bezeichnete. Die Spannung wurde aufgrund der schlechten Planung des Netzbetreibers nicht reguliert, und mehrere Erzeuger leisteten nicht die erforderliche Arbeit. Lehre für Alle: Planung, Ausbau und Modernisierung der Netze sind Schlüsselfaktoren!

Alles, was das Problem auf "Spannung" zurückführt, ist unzulässige Vereinfachung. Die kritische Größe ist die Netzfrequenz. Und das ist viel heikler als die Spannung, bei der die Toleranzen deutlich größer sind.

The image depicts a serene coastal landscape with a wooden picnic table situated on rocky terrain. The table, made of weathered planks, is positioned on the left side of the frame, with its shadow cast on the ground. The surrounding area is characterized by large, uneven rocks and patches of grass, suggesting a rugged, natural environment. In the background, a calm body of water stretches out, reflecting the sunlight and revealing distant islands and hills. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, indicating a sunny day. A signpost is visible on the right side of the table, though its details are not discernible. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, typical of a coastal or island setting.
